What if leadership wasn’t about your title, but about the energy you bring into every room? In this episode, Dr. Heather Walker sits down with Tanya K. Herb -- CEO, coach, and founder of Outspoken - to explore how redefining leadership starts with reclaiming kindness, starting with yourself.

Tanya shares her signature BIKE framework (Be You, Insight, Kindness, Engage), a soulful and science-backed approach to showing up with purpose and presence in every area of life. You’ll hear how a forgotten bicycle turned into a powerful coaching tool - and why the voice in your head might just need a hug.

If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, burnout, or that nagging inner critic, this episode offers the tools - and the mindset shift - you didn’t know you needed.

What if the biggest barrier to inclusion isn’t policy—but pride?

In this episode, Justin Jones-Fosu, CEO of Work Meaningful and author of “I Respectfully Disagree,” joins me for a brutally honest, career-shifting conversation on what it really takes to lead inclusively.

We go beyond the checkboxes and get into the messy middle—where unconscious bias meets real-time growth. Justin opens up about a personal moment of bias that still shows up for him and walks us through how he rewrites the story with curiosity, empathy, and humor.

We talk about:
🔹 Why inclusion must go beyond race, gender, and identity
🔹 The leadership habit that’s more effective than the “open door” policy
🔹 How childlike curiosity builds better teams
🔹 The role of therapy in staying grounded under pressure
🔹 What to do after the bias shows up

This episode might just change how you show up—at work and in life.
