Listen Thursday Here!

The forgotten and often missing ingredient in far too many workplaces is humanity.  What are the core tools that can help reconnect individuals with their own humanity at work?  Where can people start when they want to bring their “whole selves” to work? In this episode at the Café we will explore and answer these questions with Laura Crandall, the author of Working with Humans  – Tools You Didn't Know You Needed for Conversations You Never Expected to Have.

Laura’s passion is to create environments that are safe and honor the dignity of each human being. So many people live and work in environments that are toxic, where people feel powerless to make changes. Laura’s book is a primer of sorts – it helps people rediscover a baseline of skills that are like a laundry booster for communication and behavior that work at home and in the workplace.
