44:57Dr. Gena Cox, an organizational psychologist, leadership coach, and keynote speaker, is deeply knowledgeable about the human experience at work. In her work, she equips leaders with people-centered, psychology-backed techniques to drive employee retention and performance in the face of volatility. Gena spent decades advising corporate leaders on enhancing organizational culture using insights from applied research. This taught her that Respect is a potent yet overlooked antidote to employee discontent. Simultaneously, she coached executives on how to enhance their influence and impact. She noticed that familiar leadership models were too convoluted for volatile times. Leaders need simple, repeatable models they can learn quickly and easily implement. These insights prompted Gena to create her transformative “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” and “Yes … And” frameworks and write her award-winning Amazon best-selling book Leading Inclusion. Her forthcoming 2025 book examines how small behavior changes can build connections at work. Gena’s work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Fortune, Forbes, and Market Watch/Barrons, among others. What you will learn in this episode: How the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor impacted diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace How an inclusive culture impacts company performance and retention Why it is important to focus on fixing culture instead of thinking of DEI as a fix What respect accomplishes that other terms fail to capture in company culture Why companies should institute a respect ethos to hold employees accountable for behaviors Resources: Website: https://genacox.com/ Book: Leading Inclusion LinkedIn Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/genacox/ LinkedIn Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/feelshuman/ Freebies for your audience: https://genacox.com/inclusionresources/…
