Episode 29: Saying “yes” to being a human (not a number) at work

Stela Lupushor has always said “yes” to opportunities without overthinking their possible outcome. She took risks and made sacrifices that brought her from Ukraine to Russia and eventually to the U.S. to help humanize the workplace. Whether you’re a manager or an individual employee there’s a lot you can do to say “yes” and create a workplace that makes people feel good about themselves and their job.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Why saying “yes” matters most when life isn’t going your way.

  • How to stick to a plan, but be open to other avenues when they arise.

  • New ways to be employed and to employ others.

  • Red-flags to watch out for when looking for a job.

  • Silver linings about work from the pandemic.
