Ever snap-off at work? Ever automatically say “sorry” all the time. Before you berate yourself, this may actually be a biological response? One based on trauma that impacts your feelings of belonging.
This week my obsession is the Biology of #Belonging. To discuss belonging in the workplace, I talked to the epigenetic coach in tech and founder of iRestart, Rajkumari Neogy.
In this episode,
- Rajkumari shares how her upbringing shaped her experience in the workplace (at Facebook and others).
- What are epigenetics? How do experiences, including traumatic ones, change our biological responses
- How epigenetics can create better teams in the workplace
- What true belonging feels like to Rajkumari.
