How do you break free from the false choice between focusing on profits versus people and create a work environment where both thrive together? Transform toxic team dynamics into human-centered success on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Glenn Akramoff, author of "The Human Centered Team," shares how his personal experiences with workplace tragedy led him to develop a revolutionary approach that harmonizes business results with genuine human care. Listen as Dr. Joey and Glenn explore:
☀️ Why valuing people for who they are creates unprecedented loyalty ☀️ How to help team members discover their gifts, skills, and passions ☀️ The six-week trust-building process that transforms teams ☀️ Simple listening strategies that reveal what really needs to change ☀️ Why emotions belong in the work environment, not outside it
Glenn transforms organizations by proving that when you help people find their purpose at work, performance and engagement skyrocket while toxicity disappears.
🔑 Key Insight: "We're gonna value you for who you are, not what we want from you. If a person doesn't know their purpose in life, it's your responsibility as a leader to help them find it."
💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Start setting up meetings with your team members. Don't talk - just listen. Write down notes, look for themes, pick one theme, and act on it immediately.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
