What does it take to rebuild trust in workplaces that were never designed with us in mind? In this illuminating episode of Space To Exhale: The Podcast, Lisa sits down with Minda Harts, bestselling author of "The Memo" and of her latest groundbreaking title "Talk To Me Nice: The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace."
Together, the two authors unpack the silent crisis of broken communication at work, and reveal a liberatory new framework for repairing connection, restoring respect, and reinstating psychological safety—especially for Black women and women of color navigating systems that weren’t built for our brilliance.
Rooted in both lived experience and powerful research, Minda’s Seven Trust Languages® framework offers a practical path toward equity, empathy, and more human leadership.
In this episode you’ll discover:
✅ What the “Seven Trust Languages” are, and how they mirror love languages
✅ How to identify your own trust language and honor others' trust languages in the workplace
✅ The real impact of broken trust on teams, morale, and mental health
✅ How inclusive leaders can build (and repair) trust, intentionally and equitably
✅ How organizations can incorporate the trust languages into their formal processes like performance reviews
Whether you’re a people leader, team member, or aspiring changemaker, this episode will equip you with the tools to work smarter—not harder—and reclaim your peace while you’re on the clock.
🎧 Tune in, take notes, and remember: You deserve to feel safe, seen, trusted and supported at work.
