Description

Let’s be honest—workplace culture is broken in a lot of places. People are burnt out, misaligned, and afraid to speak up. But here’s the truth: you don’t need a complete overhaul—you need clarity, communication, and the courage to change.

In this episode, Lisa Urbanski teams up with Rich Cruz, author of Hermie the HR Hermit Crab, to drop some serious wisdom (and a few laughs) on how to build a workplace that actually works—for everyone. 

They’re digging into:
✅ What psychological safety really means (and why your team craves it)
✅ How humor can break down walls and start real conversations
✅ The blueprint for building a strong, unified culture—without losing your mind
✅ Why change is messy—but absolutely necessary

Whether you're a CEO, manager, or team member tired of the BS, this episode gives you real strategies to create a culture where people actually thrive.
