Looping You In

We are still blaming generations for everything that goes wrong at work, and now there are more of them than ever to point fingers at. In this episode, Brynne, Andy and Keilah dig into why the generational narrative keeps resurfacing and what it is really standing in for: power, resistance to change, and who gets to define "professional." The bigger move is a shift from managing generati...

Everyone is arguing about where people work...but almost nobody is asking whether people actually know how to work in whatever environment they're in. In this episode, we dig into the gap between return-to-office mandates and the real issue underneath: the collaboration, communication, and leadership skills that hybrid work exposed but didn't create. With 83% of CEOs expecting full in-pers...

A lot has been happening — the world has felt genuinely unhinged, we merged with our business besties, and the market has gone all mushy. Cue the perfect recipe for an existential crisis! In this episode, we talk about our personal and professional identity crisis and how it led us to our true north. Just like Dorothy, we had the answer inside us the whole time: behind all the "impact,"...

Most workplace training isn’t failing because of effort or investment. It’s failing because it stops at exposure.

From the stories leaders tell about success and belonging to the ones employees quietly rewrite in their...

Community at work is not built through proximity, shared titles, or feel-good language. In this episode of Looping You In , Jasmine and Brynne sit down with Facie Chiwanza, Head of Client Services , to unpack what real community actually requires: trust, accountability, shared responsibility, honest dialogue, and a clear understanding of power. Because belonging is not something you announce. It i...

The workplace has been in a full-body shakeup, return-to-office whiplash, AI everywhere, “no one wants to work,” and the ongoing backlash to DEI. So what now? In Episode 2, Brynne and Jasmine are joined by Nova partner Andy Eninger to continue Nova’s origin story and zoom out on this present moment. We talk about how Nova chose to supercharge instead of shrink, what we’re seeing as Gen Z takes the...

In our first episode, Brynne and Jasmine kick off Looping You In by introducing The Nova Collective and sharing the early chapters of Nova’s origin story, including how our work evolved alongside the rise (and recent backlash) of “DEI” in the workplace. In this episode, we break down how DEI ramped up, hit a peak, and predictably crashed, then name the truth: the work didn’t disappear, the label d...
