Have A Seat...Conversations With Women In The Workplace · 2025-06-08 · 47 min
Send us Fan Mail Angela: "Those shifts [in work culture] allowed me to remain very career-driven and productive. If they hadn’t happened, I could’ve easily been part of the statistics of women who left the workforce because it was just too much." Huong: "If a plant doesn’t thrive in the garden, we don’t blame the plant - we look at the environment. It’s the same in the workplace. We need to ask: What needs to change to help this person thrive?" In this insightful and heartfelt episode of Have a Seat , I sit down with Angela Smith and Huong Bui, co-founders of KaleidoWork, to explore what it truly means to create human-centric workplaces. Drawing from their rich leadership experience and coaching work, Angela and Huong unpack the beliefs, behaviors, and systems that shape how we work - and how we can do it better. From redefining leadership and boundaries to dismantling outdated 9-to-5 norms, these two powerhouse women share powerful strategies for sustainable leadership and workplace well-being. If you’ve ever felt burned out, unseen, or boxed in by traditional expectations, this conversation offers a refreshing, compassionate, and action-forward perspective.
