Join Jason for a provocative episode as he welcomes Jessica Winder, Senior Vice President of People, Colab Software. She brings a fresh, no-nonsense perspective to employee experience and workplace culture.

Jason and Jessica explore what it means to lead with fairness. Together, they unpack why fairness isn’t about treating everyone the same, how transparency fits into the equation, and what it takes to balance people and performance.

It’s a real-world conversation for anyone who’s ever wrestled with making the right call when the answer isn’t black and white.

Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:

👉 Fairness isn’t about treating everyone the same. It’s about making consistent decisions that align with your values, even when you can’t share all the details.

👉 Lack of transparency breeds mistrust: Overshare what you can, set clear expectations, and be honest when you can’t disclose everything.

👉 Employee perceptions of fairness are shaped as much by how you treat them as by the outcomes you deliver.

👉 Employees feeling unfairly treated should clarify their concerns, gather specifics, and approach the conversation thoughtfully to drive productive dialogue.

Join Jason for a thoughtful and deeply moving conversation with Dr. Jenna Sage, Director of Organizational Wellness and Well Being, Ultimate Medical Academy, and executive coach, author, and passionate advocate for whole-person employee support.

Jenna discusses how organizations can truly support employees navigating grief, loss, and caregiving. Having walked alongside a loved one through terminal illness, Jenna knows firsthand the weight leaders often carry in silence. She believes it’s time for organizations to normalize conversations around loss, bereavement, and mental wellness, by design, not just in reaction.

Key highlights from this episode include:

👉 Start normalizing discussions about loss, grief, caregiving, and mental health at work.

👉 As a manager, you’re not expected to be a therapist; what’s needed is grace, flexibility, and understanding, not answers or solutions.

👉 Respect and support boundaries, understand that networking events or after-hours obligations might not be a fit for caregivers, and that’s not a lack of commitment.

👉 Rethink bereavement that true compassion looks like flexibility and recognizing the many forms of loss an employee might face.
