The Untold History Behind Global Diversity Awareness Month — Julia Rock | Ep 91

If you’re curious about what truly makes diverse workplaces thrive, this episode is for you. I sit down with Julia Rock to unpack the real meaning of diversity — beyond just buzzwords and frameworks — and talk about how leadership shapes our work environments. You’ll hear why burnout isn’t just about doing too much work, but about inclusion, feeling valued, and being understood. Julia shares simple ways leaders can notice how their team members are showing up and what that reveals about their wellbeing. If you manage a team or want to lead with more impact and humanity, you’ll walk away with two or three clear takeaways:
— Why recognizing and celebrating differences boosts team performance and belonging
— How paying attention to subtle changes in employee behavior helps prevent burnout
— The five key traits that define uncomplicated, effective leadership
Listen in for honest stories and practical tips that will help you build better teams — and maybe rethink what leadership really means.
