How does dignity transform workplaces into spaces where everybody truly matters?
In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Scott Parsons and co-host Jason Viyar sit down with David Pickersgill, Senior Outreach Program Leader at Barry-Wehmiller and key leader within the Humanistic Leadership Academy.
David shares how Barry-Wehmiller’s culture of care has been shaped by the principle that “everybody matters” — a vision reinforced by his collaboration with dignity expert Donna Hicks. Together, they explore the seven steps to building a dignity-based culture, the power of recognition, and how authentic listening fosters inclusion and trust.
The conversation also highlights Barry-Wehmiller’s outreach to universities and MBA programs, equipping the next generation of leaders with the skills and courage to care. David reflects on authenticity, resilience, and the importance of “small things with great love” as essential practices of flourishing leadership.
Whether you’re leading an organization, teaching in higher education, or simply seeking to live more authentically, this episode will challenge and inspire you to embrace dignity, inclusion, and care as cornerstones of true leadership.
