Rosie in My Pocket: Put People First
What if the way you label people is quietly eroding trust, connection, and collaboration in your workplace?
Rosie unpacks a powerful truth many leaders overlook: when we define people by their roles, titles, or conditions, we strip away their humanity. Whether it’s calling someone “a diabetic” or placing a CEO on a pedestal, these seemingly small habits can create distance and reinforce hierarchy. Rosie invites us to pause, shift our lens, and see the person first.
This isn’t about theory. It’s a real-world challenge to catch ourselves in those micro-moments when judgment creeps in and instead choose curiosity and connection.
Get ready for a refreshingly honest take on what it really means to lead with heart and re-humanize the spaces we work in.
