Grief at Work: Building Human Organizations Inspired by Denise Wynn

In this episode, we explore how grief is woven into the fabric of organizational life and why acknowledging it is essential for building truly human workplaces. Inspired by Denise Wynn’s transformative approach, we discuss how traditional silence around loss—whether from bereavement, burnout, racial trauma, or missed opportunities—erodes trust and impacts Black professionals disproportionately. Discover how organizations can move beyond rigid policies to create cultures of compassion, presence, and support, unlocking deeper engagement, resilience, and innovation. Learn practical steps leaders can take to recognize invisible grief, foster psychological safety, and turn moments of loss into opportunities for connection and growth.
