The Power of Language in the Workplace
11/02/23 • 60 min
“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” Sarah Peyton, neuroscience educator and author of “Your Resonant Self,” knows from years of research that the popular children’s adage is bullsh*t—words may not break your bones, but language has a powerful effect on our brains.
In the first of three conversations between epigenetic coach, Rajkumari Neogy, and Sarah, the two investigate interpersonal communication and how it can contribute to toxic workplace environments. They also explore emotional intelligence, how language influences cortisol and dopamine levels, and the science behind swear words. Rajkumari and Sarah offer listeners a glimpse into the minds of neuroscience experts including Jaak Panksepp and Iain McGilchrist as they discuss how to foster empathy at work and why using resonant language matters.

How to Create Human-Centered Organizations
Here’s an easily forgotten truth about the workforce: Employees are humans and they expect to be treated as such. In this day and age, the stakes for empathetic communication have reached new heights for companies and their leaders. It’s no longer just the human resources department who is the arbiter of empathetic communication.
In this episode, Dino Anderson, chief culture officer at e-learning company Articulate, and neurobiology expert Rajkumari Neogy discuss how human-centered organizations are formed. Dino explains how leaders can support dignity at work, why equity is an engine for capitalism and the differences between advocacy and activism. The pair also explores the concept of collective intelligence, the art of humble bragging and how Hegelianism and Marxism explain our need for certainty in today’s workforce.
