Summary
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Catherine Mattice, founder and CEO of Civility Partners, to talk about workplace culture, toxicity, and the habits that shape both personal and professional success. We discuss why the word “toxic” is often misused, how leaders can identify behaviors that interfere with a company’s mission, and the hidden emotional costs of keeping the wrong people in an organization. I also share the five daily non-negotiable practices that drive growth, including sleep, health, family, faith, learning, and financial awareness. Together, we explore accountability, self-image, kindness, and how consistent habits help us reach our full potential.
