I've watched too many good leaders burn out in toxic cultures. I've seen too many talented people dread Monday mornings. And I want to do my part to make a difference.
I'm Bonita Owens, and this is The People Skills Advantage—a podcast about leadership, workplace culture, and why we need to stop accepting misery as the price of a paycheck.
My philosophy is simple: Life is work. Work is life. You can't separate them. So if your workplace is draining your soul, it's affecting every part of your life. And if you're a leader, you have the power—and the responsibility—to change that.
In this first episode, I'm sharing who I am, what shaped my thinking about leadership, and why I'm creating this network. This isn't about corporate buzzwords or feel-good platitudes. It's about the real, messy work of building cultures where people don't just survive—they thrive.
If you're a mid to senior-level leader who's ready to do things differently, welcome. Let's build workplaces worth showing up for.
