Episode description

🤔What does it truly mean to belong at work?

💭How do we create workplaces where people can thrive without sacrificing who they are?

❓And what happens when belonging feels out of reach?

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in your workplace or wondered how to cultivate a culture of true inclusion, this episode is for you.

Dr. Beth Kaplan is a leading expert in workplace resilience and belonging. As a sought-after consultant, speaker, and author of Braving the Workplace: Belonging at the Breaking Point, she has spent decades redefining what it means to belong in professional environments. She’s currently pioneering a groundbreaking belonging measurement tool with the University of Pennsylvania—one that predicts the likelihood of thriving in the workplace.

Belonging isn’t just about feeling good at work—it’s about knowing you’re in the right place to thrive, contribute, and grow. It’s a foundation that fuels everything from innovation to resilience. And when we recognize our own value and claim spaces where we can show up authentically, we make room for others to do the same. That’s how we transform workplaces into communities.

Because here’s the truth: When you feel valued, you show up, speak up, and make the impact only you can.
