The Hard at Work Podcast Preview

I’m Ellen Whitlock Baker, and I’m a 20 year survivor of many different workplaces, from the good to the bad to the ugly.

After I escaped the 9-5 and struck out on my own as a coach, consultant and speaker, I created the Hard at Work podcast to help you navigate…and maybe even update… the workplace, which wasn’t made for most of us. Hard at Work is the show for people who are ready to challenge workplace norms, advocate for themselves and others, and create a more equitable, healthier work culture.

In this podcast, we say the quiet part out loud—bringing humor, real talk, and practical strategies so that each episode gives you useful tips and thought-provoking conversations. We’ll talk about the things you feel like you can’t bring up at work, and together we’ll unlearn toxic norms to help you navigate work without burnout, guilt, or compromising who you are.

If you're tired of feeling like the problem is you—when it’s really a broken  system—this podcast is your go-to guide for transforming work on your terms.
