People do not come to work as empty job titles.They come with experiences, pressures, fears, hopes, assumptions and emotions that influence how they communicate, collaborate and show up every day.In this first episode, I share why I started The Work Between People and explore the hidden human dynamics that often shape our workplaces more than we realize.From trust and honesty to silence, conflict, change and psychological safety, this episode is an invitation to look beyond roles and responsibilities and into the space where work is truly experienced: between people.
