In Episode 1, Meredith and Megan provide an introduction to the three pillars of Empowered Communication™: Enforcing Boundaries, Reprogramming Hegemony, and Accountability. This is anew, integrity-based model for handling power dynamics in the workplace.

 

In this episode Meredith and Megan tell their stories about why they care about this work. Early in Meredith's legal career, she got her dream job as a civil rights lawyer. The problem was that she was representing women in sexual harassment lawsuits while she was expeirencing sexual harassment herself. Megan found herself leaving a big tech position and inadvertently triggering a major investigation because she answered an exit survey, saying that the workplace was not appropriate for women.

 

But, both Meredith and Megan have learned and explored tools that work, that turned those experiences around, and helped them recover. This episode explores what we can do to encounter toxic workplace conflict like sexual harassment from an empowered place and create health work environments.
