This series brings those realities into focus, using storytelling to explore sensitive but essential topics that are often overlooked. From bullying and discrimination to grief, loneliness, and chronic illness, each lesson reveals the human impact of workplace experiences many find difficult to speak about. Guided by the lived experiences shared by Dr. Lalith Wijedoru, an independent well-being consultant, each session blends real-life narratives with expert commentary. You'll learn about the nuanced dynamics of power, the consequences of silence, and the critical importance of empathy in leadership. These are not just personal stories--they are entry points into systemic issues affecting retention, inclusion, and psychological safety across organisations. The lessons address legal, emotional, and interpersonal dimensions with clarity and care. This course equips learners to identify early warning signs, initiate courageous conversations, and implement inclusive practices that support people at their most vulnerable.
