Brandie Delarosa spent more than 25 years in IT and business consulting, working remotely long before it became common. Today, as Chief Executive Officer at E3inspire, she uses her professional and personal experiences to help companies better understand trauma, psychological safety, emotional intelligence, and the human side of work.

In this conversation, we explore why remote work can improve focus, how personal trauma follows employees into the workplace, why psychological safety matters, what leaders often miss about their people, and where companies should draw the line between AI and human support. Brandie also shares the story behind her book, A House Divided: How to Successfully Co-Parent, and the parenting lessons that shaped her approach to emotional intelligence and resilience.

No fluff, just personal stories, practical lessons, and a different way for leaders to think about the people behind their business.
