I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Lindsay Diaz on this week’s episode of the podcast.

I was introduced to Lindsay by a Kimberly Williams from Episode 31. They are both committed to changing abusive workplaces. One from the side of the law and the other from within.

Lindsay has had an incredible journey to get where she is today. I feel like she is one of the most intelligent people I have had the pleasure of speaking with. Even though English is not her first language, she speaks it more eloquently than anyone I know – and she has a lot to say! About transformation of the workplace, about narcissism – particularly in the workplace, about the profitability of being a “people first” company, and just about doing the right thing!

Lindsay is embarking on a new journey in life and wants to live #withoutregret. It is scary to change your career at a time when your children are going off to college. And to be speaking up about change in organizations when change is hard. There are naysayers, there are obstacles, there is fear, but there is also hope.

I hope to keep in touch with Lindsay and Kimberly and I hope to be able to help and support their efforts in anyway I can. I personally have been impacted by workplace abuse (#metoo) so I know what it is like. I talk a little about my experience in the episode with Kimberly and how difficult it is when you’re put in that kind of position. I didn’t do anything. I guess I was lucky that this person ended up leaving the company on their own and it was only after that I realized how bad it truly was. And I am so thankful I’ve not had to deal with anything like it since.
