Managers Need Training, Not Just Policies – Brainz Magazine Exclusive With Alexa Starks

In this episode of the Brains Magazine podcast, Mark Sephton interviews Alexa Starks, founder of Executive Moms, who discusses the importance of creating parent-friendly workplace cultures. Alexa shares her personal experiences and insights on how organizations can better support working parents through flexible policies, empathy in management, and the need for training in leadership roles. The conversation highlights the barriers to implementing these changes and the significant impact of poor support on parents in the workforce. Alexa emphasizes the importance of open communication and providing tools for both managers and employees to foster a supportive environment.


In this episode, we discover:


  1. Parenthood reshapes identity — and workplaces must adapt.
  2. Parent-forward culture is about flexibility for everyone.
  3. Managers need training, not just policies.
  4. Flexibility builds trust and loyalty.
  5. Culture change starts with language.


With podcast host Mark Sephton
