We're particularly excited about our interview with guest Ken Dietrich, today as we talk about Options for Today's Workspace. A seasoned leader and entrepreneur, he is the owner and operator of Venture X Etobicoke, a prominent and innovative co-working space located in Toronto's Etobicoke district.

Ken has built a reputation for blending entrepreneurial vision with practical execution. His approach emphasizes community, flexibility, and innovation, qualities that are reflected in how Venture X Etobicoke operates and serves its members.

The concept of co-working or sharing workspace with others and other companies has been very popular for years now, and the wave of new entrepreneurs is really driving it to new levels. So, we'd like to know more about it and what's new, and Ken is our guy.

A fascinating and sometimes disturbing discussion with author, artist and at his centre, social worker and therapist, Richard Schwindt, MSW, about the phenomenon of workplace mobbing and how the power of social media and a culture of today's "influencers" have evolved mobbing, and overall workplace conflict today.

​His powerful book from 2016 entitled Emotional Recovery from Workplace Mobbing: A guide for targets and their supports, speaks to the phenomenon that has been in the workplace for years, the impacts on the individual and the recovery path for those victimized.

Both fascinating and insightful, we chatted with Jeppe Hansgaard, CEO of Innovisor about their discovery of The 3% Rule, and the brilliant tool it has become for their change management practice. The tool provides insight as to how 3% of your employees shape the opinions of 90% of their colleagues.

This week we sat down with Phil Johnson, CEO of The Master of Business Leadership Academy, here in Toronto, Canada, to talk about what happened to emotional intelligence. With people quitting and referring to toxic workplaces, many of the times because of "bad bosses", many seem to have lost their ability to behave and collaborate. A fascinating chat with Phil!

Along with today's workplace news updates this week, for our favourite part of the show, we sat down with Mary Brady of Brady Talent Development for an insightful discussion about what companies are focused on these days when it comes to training in today's workplace. Its a dynamic time when it comes to learning in the pace of so many subject areas so this conversation was timely..... and Mary really put it together for us. A great listen for any size workplace.....

An interview so fascinating that we had to bring it back for another reply, as we've had so many listeners ask for it. From earlier this year we sat down with Marc Kealey and the Honourable David Tsubouchi to talk about their upcoming book "The Ripple Effect". An insightful discussion about the power of networking and its value in business, the workplace and life in general. This interview required two episodes (both included in this one) as we all got into a conversation that we just couldn't stop!.....

An insightful chat with Simon Brown, a college professor, management consultant and soon-to-be author about the challenges of the different generations in today's workplace and how prepared anyone is to perform and lead in this complex mix of behaviours. While the original premise of the show was to focus on GenZ and their effects on the workplace, it was clear by the end of the interview that all the generations are challenged by a weakness in their emotional intelligence. Fascinating chat.
