CLOC Talk Eps 111

Building Community in the Workplace

In this episode of CLOC Talk, hosts Jeremiah Kincannon and Tanya Svoboda sit down with leadership and DEIB expert Reggie Butler for a thought-provoking conversation about belonging, connection, and humanity at work.

The discussion explores:

  • The role of curiosity and empathy in leadership
  • How to foster a sense of belonging across teams and organizations
  • The difference between scarcity and abundance mindsets
  • The evolving importance of “power skills” (formerly “soft skills”) in the hybrid and AI-enabled workplace
  • Practical strategies for leaders and employees to build inclusive, human-centered communities at work

Reggie challenges listeners to lead with intention, expand their “go-to” networks, and “pay attention now” to the human connections that drive real performance and fulfillment.

Following the release of this episode, we learned that Reggie Butler had passed away. Reggie joined us at the CLOC Global Institute for a session on how belonging shapes performance, and he recently led a webinar on psychological safety and how we show up for one another at work. We are grateful we had the chance to learn from him. His passing is a real loss for our community and everyone who knew him. That loss is felt most by his family and friends, and our thoughts are with them.
