Ashley Brundage's career journey has been nothing short of inspirational. After facing significant challenges like discrimination, harassment, and even homelessness early on, Ashley took a courageous step into a second career as a means of survival. Little did she know then that this pivotal decision would pave the way for her to become a nation-leading voice in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
From humble beginnings as a part-time associate, Ashley defied the odds and rose through the ranks at a major financial services organization. In under five years, she attained the role of National Vice President of Diversity & Inclusion - a remarkable feat that spoke volumes about her grit and capabilities.
Today, Ashley runs Empowering Differences, an organization she founded based on 10 Empowering Actions that enabled her to overcome obstacles and advance her exceptional career. Her credibility is further bolstered by an extensive list of accomplishments, including serving as the Vice Chair of GLAAD's National Board of Directors, Past President of the Tampa Bay LGBT Chamber of Commerce, consulting for the White House, and receiving a prestigious DEI award from the Governor of Florida.
We are truly honored to welcome the trailblazing Ashley Brundage to the show today. Her inspirational story and wealth of experience overcoming adversity make her an ideal guest to share invaluable insights.

SOPHIE THEEN, award-winning people management expert and author of the upcoming book, THE SOUL OF STARTUPS: The Untold Stories of How Founders Affect Culture[Wiley | August 2, 2022], joins us on today's cast!
If you are looking for an excellent resource for company founders, entrepreneurs, managers, and executives, you have found the right place!
Sophie discusses how a company's culture is a top-down necessity and why it's vital for founders to create a workplace where employees can thrive and nurture their emotional maturity. There's a common misconception that a company's people make its culture. In reality, startup culture begins and trickles down from the top of a company's founder. That founder's personality, including their emotional maturity, can lift or destroy their organization's culture. So, how can founders identify whether their personalities positively impact their culture and make changes if not?
Listen up here!

SHARI FOOS, celebrated therapist and founder of THE NARRATIVE METHOD,a non-profit that connects diverse populations to themselves and each other through personal storytelling and other connective experiences. Learn how leaders can foster productivity and a sense of community by encouraging the development of meaningful human connections and more empathy in their workplaces.
As a leader, driving productivity is only half the battle these days. As more and more employees prioritize working for companies whose values and missions align with their own, employers who make a concerted effort to develop a sense of community among their staff have never been in higher demand. Workplaces that emphasize building empathy and creating community have higher retention rates, healthier employees, fewer HR issues, and most importantly, fulfilled and motivated employees.
Shari’s passion and mission with The Narrative Method is to help peel away people’s false assumptions and beliefs to help them refocus their perspectives and understanding. Through the modality of storytelling and a practice called “relational mindfulness,” participants are able to develop radical empathy, compassion, and understanding for those around them, which in turn creates meaningful human connections among dissimilar groups and encourages camaraderie.
