“When the world tried to box her in, she built something bigger.”
In this powerful and heartfelt interview, Dr. Tajiri Brackens — known as The Workplace Wizard — shares her transformative journey from feeling overlooked and undervalued to becoming a bold voice for authentic leadership and cultural change. Drawing from 33 years of experience in sales, leadership, and coaching, Dr. Tajiri unpacks the pivotal moments that shaped her mission: from being publicly belittled in an MLM to facing toxic leadership at Continental Airlines. Each experience became a stepping stone toward her calling to help others reclaim their voice and lead with heart, clarity, and courage.
Listeners will hear the story behind The Oz Experience and learn why Dr. Tajiri believes that leadership is not about waiting for permission—it’s about recognizing the power you’ve had all along. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, silenced, or boxed in by broken systems, this conversation will reignite your confidence and challenge you to lead from a place of authenticity.
Dr. Tajiri also shares insights from her books, including Power, Privilege, and Humility, Bipolar Faith, and The Emerald Code, offering real strategies for navigating toxic cultures, shifting workplace dynamics, and building leadership that lasts.
If you’re ready to shift your culture, unlock your confidence, and redefine what leadership can look like, this is an interview you won’t want to miss.
