The Neuroscience of Respect with Gregg Ward

What if the real reason your workplace is struggling isn't performance, but a lack of respect?

Kristi sits down with Gregg Ward, bestselling author of "The Respectful Leader" and founder of the Center for Respectful Leadership, for a conversation that starts with tragedy and ends with transformation.

From losing his high school sweetheart in a devastating accident to creating breakthrough leadership trainings using improv and storytelling, Gregg's path is anything but linear. He shares how understanding moral injury reshaped his mission, why Gen Z refuses to tolerate toxic leaders, and how a simple mindset shift can change your workplace vibe forever.

This isn't just another leadership chat. It's a masterclass in empathy, science, and the soul-deep need we all have to feel respected. If you're leading people and want to keep them, this episode is a must.
