PsychChat

In this episode, we discuss how stereotypes and biases are not helpful when we look at identifying leaders. Leadership, we feel, should be gender-neutral. Individuals should be assessed based on their capabilities and abilities and not gender.

What is PsychChat ?

PsychChat started from a simple observation. The issues I hear from clients every day, the complexity, the frustration, the questions that don't have easy answers, deserve a bigger conversation.

Too much work content is overhyped, anecdotal, and not grounded in anything real. PsychChat is my answer to that. Every episode draws on evidence-based research to explore the real issues people face in the world of work, the ones that don't get talked about honestly enough.

My goal is simple. I want every person who listens to PsychChat to walk away with something they can actually use.
