    Reimagining Social Media
    Jan 7 2026
    In this episode of Development Reimagined, we take a closer look at one of the most talked-about topics in the workplace: culture. But instead of focusing on slogans, perks, or posters, we explore the everyday signals, habits, decisions, and behaviors that shape what it truly feels like to work somewhere.

    Chinwe Grace Jones and Anita Gouveia reimagine culture as something we actively do, not just something we define. The conversation digs into the real questions leaders often overlook: What culture are we actually creating through our systems and behaviors? Where does culture really live—in HR, leadership, or in every interaction? And how do we move culture from something discussed in retreats to something reinforced in the flow of real work? You’ll hear insights on the cost of culture misalignment, the impact of micro-behaviors, and why culture is best treated as a living ecosystem rather than a one-time initiative. This episode offers practical, human-centered insights for HR leaders, people managers, and executives ready to shift how culture shows up every day. 📝

    Only 10% of leadership development programs are effective—so why do we keep doing them the same way?

    • The difference between leadership theory vs. practical application

    Reimagining Culture
    Dec 17 2025
    In this episode of Development Reimagined, we dive into one of the most talked-about topics in the workplace: culture. But we’re not talking about inspirational posters or fun perks. We’re talking about the everyday signals, habits, decisions, and behaviors that shape what it really feels like to work somewhere. Chinwe Grace Jones and Anita Gouveia explore what it means to reimagine culture as something we do, not just something we define. They ask bold questions like:
    • What culture are we actually creating with our current systems and behaviors?
    • Where does culture truly live—HR? Leadership? Or in every interaction?
    • And what does it take to create a culture that isn’t just talked about at retreats, but reinforced in the day-to-day flow of work?
    You’ll hear insights on the cost of culture misalignment, the power of micro-behaviors, and why culture should be treated less like a project and more like a living, breathing ecosystem. Whether you’re an HR leader, a people manager, or a CEO trying to make sense of where culture lives and how to shift it—this episode is packed with human-centered, practical insights.

  • Reimagining Learning Responsibility

    Reimagining Learning Responsibility
    Dec 10 2025
    In this episode of Development Reimagined, we’re rethinking how learning happens inside organizations—and more importantly, who’s responsible for it. Chin and Anita are joined by special guest Hannah Brown, author of Into the Hands of Leaders, to explore what it means when we shift the responsibility of learning out of HR and into the flow of everyday leadership. Hannah breaks down why the “L&D owns learning” mindset is outdated, and how frontline and mid-level managers can unlock more growth on their teams without needing more time, more training, or more budget. We explore the mindset blocks that stop leaders from seeing themselves as facilitators of learning, and how HR and L&D can shift their roles to equip, coach, and support leaders instead of carrying all the weight. This is a powerful episode if you’re tired of learning being an afterthought—or worse, a box to check—and want to create a culture where growth is baked into how work gets done every day.

  • Reimagining Ethics in HR

    Reimagining Ethics in HR
    Dec 3 2025
    In this episode of Development Reimagined, we’re talking about something that too often gets swept under the rug: ethics in HR. And we’re not talking about it in theory—we’re getting real. Chin opens up about a moment in her early career that sparked an unexpected chain of events after a simple request for time off. Anita shares how the HR response in another organization left team members devastated after an ethics complaint was ignored. Together, we unpack how ethics shows up (or doesn’t) in people-related decisions—from “should we say something?” to “how do we respond once we know?” We examine the cultural layers, the blurred lines between policy and people, and why HR professionals are often put in lose-lose positions when companies fail to act with courage and consistency. This isn’t just a philosophical conversation—it’s a raw and grounded look at how ethical leadership must evolve in today’s workplace.

    Nov 26 2025
    When we talk about inclusion, neurodiversity is often overlooked—or worse, misunderstood.

Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or leading someone who is, this conversation explores how to shift from accommodation to appreciation.

    Reimagining Empathy
    Nov 19 2025
    Empathy is having a moment—but are we teaching it the right way, and are we asking the right people to carry the emotional load? In this powerful episode of Development Reimagined, Chin and Anita explore what it truly means to lead with empathy in today's emotionally charged and ever-shifting workplace. From navigating the fine line between empathy and emotional overload to confronting the reality of return-to-office challenges, this conversation doesn’t shy away from hard truths. They unpack questions like:
    • When does empathy become emotional labor?
    • Who gets the “empathy card” in workplace conflicts?
    • How do leaders handle being the emotional dumping ground?
    • Is remote work eroding our ability to be empathetic coworkers?
    With personal stories, leadership insights, and a few mic-drop moments, this episode challenges leaders and organizations to rethink how they’re supporting people—without burning out the ones doing the supporting.
