I had a great interview with Kevin McShan with Let’s Have This Conversation.

Respect and trust from workplace leaders are essential ingredients for employee engagement and success. According to the Survey Center for American Life, 79% of American workers feel trusted by their supervisors, and 61% report being treated fairly. When employees feel valued and appreciated, as Indeed highlights, they work harder, aim higher, and become more invested in their organization’s success.

As a business strategist, I’ve worked with hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses to drive rapid growth, improve profitability, and maximize value. My focus is on supporting entrepreneurial leaders during critical transitions—whether scaling operations, planning a succession, or preparing for an exit. I believe that fostering trust and respect in the workplace isn’t just good leadership; it’s a strategy that strengthens businesses from the inside out.
