Workplace Inclusion

I left Corporate America because the workplace culture sucked. That realization was my personal pivot point, and it's the entire driving force behind my podcast, Allyship in Action. Inclusive workplace culture doesn't happen by accident. It is built through intentional, consistent choices. In every episode of Allyship in Action, my goal is simple. My goal is to cut through the noise, skip the perf... more

  • Candid Convos and Good Depth of Content

    I really appreciate Julie’s perspective and quality of guests. I am early in my transition from a passive to an “active phase” of my allyship as a business leader. I rely upon these podcasts to broaden and deepen my awareness and perspectives on this “fraught” work.

  • Julie is Leading the Diversity and Inclusion Charge. Very Inspirational

    It’s a sad but true fact, that inspite of years of research, and the clear documented bottom line benefits of more inclusive diverse leadership of women and people of color, that the US has not made much progress…

    Thank God for advocates like Julie who bring on great fellow advocates, consultants and coaches as guest that are actively engaged in helping advance more diverse leadership, especially at senior levels.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

353: Behind the Shiny Objects: Real Inclusivity in a Changing World with Katryn Wright
Q: What has changed in the inclusion space since the last time we spoke?
The shift is from shiny, public-facing activities and one-off trainings to targeted, data-driven interventions that address precise moments in processes like hiring and promotion, with a stronger focus on outcomes and systems.
354: Bringing Psychological Safety to Life for Leaders with Minette Norman and Karolin Helbig
Q: How do you facilitate a focus on listening while you're also guiding the discussion?
You balance listening with structured facilitation, use signals like the ELMO cue to move on when needed, and create opportunities for everyone to speak while keeping conversations productive.
354: Bringing Psychological Safety to Life for Leaders with Minette Norman and Karolin Helbig
Q: From your perspective, what warranted the second book?
The feedback from change-makers showed there was a demand for deeper, more actionable strategies to walk the talk and embed psychological safety into culture, especially under real-world constraints.
354: Bringing Psychological Safety to Life for Leaders with Minette Norman and Karolin Helbig
Q: Why the follow-up book? What did you hear that inspired you to write Part Two?
Leaders across Europe on tour expressed that they had read the first book but faced new challenges—skepticism, real-world pressures like layoffs—and needed practical guidance to implement psychological safety at scale, which motivated the follow-up.
352: Better Leadership Starts with a Better Night of Sleep with Dr. Carlos Nunez
Q: Carlos, just tell us, why sleep? Why is sleep so important?
Sleep is foundational to health, affecting brain function, metabolism, heart and brain health, and even daytime performance; good sleep supports better decision-making, energy management, and resilience, while poor sleep is linked to higher stress, poorer outcomes, and higher risk of chronic diseases.
