TIME TO TALK

It’s time to talk about it. There are many resources that have raised awareness about the different ways a workplace can be toxic, including microaggressions, biases, and rules/structures inherently against the empowerment of women. But, what do we do with all this information? It is essential that we take the next step to actively seek change, which begins with engaging in difficult conversations with co-workers and bosses, confronting the issues at hand. These conversations are naturally hard to bring up and facilitate, but it is possible to both conduct a neutral, civil conversation and listen to the other party’s perspective in a respectful way.

It’s Time to Talk is a mini-series podcast that goes over tips and tricks to both talk about and listen to the different perspectives surrounding the toxic workplace culture. The podcast will feature the voices of women professionals, interns, and students from various industries to explore what has worked and what has not. By exploring these different perspectives, It’s Time to Talk aims to uncover and spread information on how to tangibly create safe spaces within the toxic workplace culture and dismantle systems of power in a respectful and consensual way.
