Leaving a Toxic Workplace on Your Own Terms with Jessica Childress.

August 17, 2023 • Saranne Segal

In this episode, I chat with attorney Jessica Childress, founder of a boutique employment law firm based in Washington, D.C. An advocate of civil rights, especially in the workplace, Jessica is passionate about empowering employees to know where they stand when it comes to psychological safety.

We discuss her forthcoming book and e-course, “Peace: Leaving a Toxic Workplace on Your Own Terms”, the cultural differences and challenges of the legal system in the US, and our shared goal of creating more harmonious and happier work environments.

Thanks for listening to Peace at the Water Cooler.
