This week Bernie welcomes Kevin Bradley, VP of Culture and Belonging at HUB International, for an eye-opening conversation about the evolution of belonging in the workplace, and how these shifts can deeply influence our personal fulfillment journeys.

Here are three key discussion points from our conversation:

1️⃣ Redefining Culture and Belonging: We explored how belonging at work isn’t just a “nice-to-have,” but an intentional focus on creating inclusive cultures where every individual feels they matter. It’s more than just a list of policies or DEI acronyms—it’s the actions that foster authentic connection.

2️⃣ The Importance of Internal Community: We dug into the distinction between “culture” and “community” within an organization. True community-building starts internally, with strong cultures that naturally lead to external impact and good corporate citizenship.

3️⃣ Work-Life Harmony Over Balance: We discussed the shift from striving for elusive “work-life balance” to seeking “work-life harmony.” Harmony means giving ourselves grace to adjust priorities—sometimes work, sometimes family—so our pillars of health, relationships, and legacy can coexist in real life.

Main takeaway: Fulfillment comes from creating environments at work and beyond, where people truly belong, can bring their whole selves, and impact one another for the better.

This episode is brought to you by the HR Leadership & Wellness Summit in Atlanta, GA, October 12-14.

This invite-only experience brings together senior HR professionals from companies like Warner Bros., Morgan Stanley, Paramount, and more for three days of transformative conversations, strategic networking, and actionable insights.
