With over two decades of experience in mental health, Dr. Dub is committed to fostering environments of deep connection, inclusion, and belonging in organizations. Her work enhances productivity, retention, and interpersonal relationships, creating more fulfilling workspaces for all.In this conversation, Dr. Dub shares her expertise on creating meaningful change within organizations, and we dive into some fascinating topics, including:The Power of Listening to Understand: Dr. Dub discusses why listening with the intent to understand, rather than just checking a box, is key to building trust and meaningful connections in the workplace.  Curiosity-Driven Conversations: Dr. Dub emphasizes the importance of asking “what” and “how” questions that are specific to the person, rather than “why” questions that can come across as accusatory. She explains how the right kind of curiosity can help uncover deeper insights and foster better communication.Frenteurships: A term Dr. Dub uses to describe a more collaborative, “we” focused approach to leadership and professional development, as opposed to the traditional "mentor/mentee" dynamic. Frenteurships are about mutual growth, curiosity, and sharing knowledge across differences.Curiosity Across Differences: Dr. Dub encourages us to engage in conversations with people who hold different views or beliefs with a spirit of mutual curiosity—seeking to understand rather than to be understood. This shift in mindset can lead to more enriching, productive dialogues and ultimately help build stronger, more inclusive workplaces.Intention and Execution: Dr. Dub highlights that both intention and execution are critical when implementing strategies for workplace transformation. How we approach change is just as important as the steps we take to make it happen.As Dr. Dub shares: "People who have connections at work will stay at work." How are you engaging in conversations?
