In this episode, host Brandon Laws sits down with Erica Scott to learn how to transform the workplace environment, relationships, and productivity with best practices for fostering honest communication. Make the shift from “taboo” to “transparent” when it comes to saying “no” and asking for what you want. 
 
TAKEAWAYS
Consent culture fosters feelings of safety and freedom that are not only possible but critical for a healthy culture at work.
Consent is involved in every interaction between ourselves and others.
Learning and practicing consent skills helps us create an environment where interactions are mutually agreeable for everyone involved. 
It’s normal for us to struggle with saying “no” or asking for what we want.
Healthy communication cannot abound if one set of people is taught that the most important thing is to avoid conflict while another set is taught to pursue their desires and needs.

Brandon Laws is joined by David Rizzo, Principal of Talent Strategy and Operations at Deloitte US, and deep dive into talent retention and development strategies. In this episode, you’ll learn what makes Gen Z and Millennial employees tick, how to retain top talent, and what it means to develop capabilities in your people for an impact far beyond the here and now.
 
TAKEAWAYS
Gen Z and Millennials have very real concerns about how the rising cost of living will impact their daily lives.
Employers must invest in employee growth and development, specifically in capabilities that will be portable and useful in the future.
Employers should not be fearful of developing employees only for them to leave; instead, they should embrace growth initiatives as an opportunity to attract talent and retain talent.
Creating in-demand and portable capabilities in employees has real benefits for the communities in which we live and work.

Struggling to measure the success of your projects or initiatives? Listen in to this conversation with Dr. Jack J. Phillips, Chairman of ROI Institute and consultant in accountability, measurement, and evaluation. Host Brandon Laws asks all about how to help your team gain traction and make an impact on current or future projects.
 
TAKEAWAYS
 
Every project or initiative must have measurable value. 
Impact is what people can see and really want, so start with that end in mind and clearly define measures to make sure you get there.
Today’s HR contributes significantly to the business and is less about the traditional administrative, legalistic, and compliance aspects of the past.
Be proactive about collecting data instead of waiting until the project’s completion to measure success.
