Dissonance Disrupted
A leadership podcast exploring workplace culture, emotional intelligence, psychological safety, generational dynamics and neurodiversity in today's organizations.
Hosted by Sherri Dockree and Nicki Straza — two practitioners who believe the most important conversations are the ones organizations keep avoiding.
From discomfort to dialogue.

Released on the second Tuesday of every month. Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and iHeart Radio.
