How Toxic Workplaces Led 2 HR Executives to Become Leadership + Culture Coaches with Lindsay White

Nicole M. Bianchi Episode 28

In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, I sit down with Lindsay White, a leadership coach, people strategy expert, and founder of High Voltage Leadership. With 15+ years in corporate HR, Lindsay and I share a common story—navigating toxic workplaces, making the bold decision to walk away, and building careers dedicated to transforming leadership and workplace culture.

Together, we dive into:
✅ The tough conversations that define careers and cultures
✅ How to know when it’s time to walk away from a toxic workplace
✅ How to align your leadership style with your values 
✅ Why the small moments in leadership are the ones that make the biggest impact

Lindsay shares her career-defining "enough is enough" moment, the leadership lessons she’s learned from the HR trenches to coaching, and how to navigate high-stakes conversations with confidence.

If you’ve ever struggled with tough workplace dynamics, difficult team decisions, or finding your leadership voice—this episode is for you.
