    #646 Breaking Free from Toxic 'Family' Cultures in Business

    Have you ever felt trapped in a workplace that called itself a “family,” but left you feeling drained, stifled, or unseen?  In this thought-provoking episode of Talking with the Experts, I sit down with leadership coach Jack Glennon to explore the hidden costs of toxic “family” cultures in business and how they can hold back both individuals and teams. Jack draws on more than two decades of leadership experience to reveal the emotional and professional toll these cultures create—from limiting personal growth to contributing to burnout and even affecting mental health. He shares his own insights into how professionals can rebuild after setbacks such as redundancies, toxic bosses, or unhealthy work dynamics. We go beyond the pain to the possibility. Jack outlines practical strategies for redefining your professional identity, regaining confidence, and taking control of your career narrative. Leaders will also learn how to foster cultures of authenticity and empowerment, where individuals are encouraged to grow rather than conform. This episode is not just about leaving behind what doesn’t serve you—it’s about stepping into a healthier, more resilient version of yourself. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling stuck in a workplace that doesn’t align with your values, this conversation will give you tools to break free and create something better. 🔗 CONNECT WITH JACK LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-glennon-936634118 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennonpc/ Website: https://www.glennonpc.com 📌 PROMOTION: https://glennonpc.com/bookings/ola/services/free-30-minute-intro-coaching ▼ ▼ Did you enjoy the episode?
