What if the most important people in your organization aren’t always in the spotlight?
In this deeply reflective episode of the Her Resources Podcast, we speak with Hannah Erlsten, UX strategist and inclusive design advocate, about the concept of “The Invisible Glue.” These are the people—often women—who hold teams together, ensure others feel seen, and build systems of belonging without demanding attention.
Together we explore:
-
[06:00] Mentorship & leadership for introverts
-
[09:45] Why empathy is a superpower in strategy & HR
-
[14:20] Designing equitable systems quietly, effectively
-
[22:10] The hidden work of emotional and cultural labor
-
[27:30] Advice to women doing the work behind the scenes
This one’s for the unsung leaders, the quiet anchors, the ones holding it all together.
