In this podcast, Debra Kasowski interviews Dr. Michelle P. King, author of How Work Works. Michelle states won’t be able to read a room until you have a good grasp on your own personality and how others might perceive you. Michelle P. King talks about the importance of informal networking (e.g., dinner with bosses after work) for building professional advancement support. Debra and Michelle dive deeper into talking about how we create our job security by continuously learning and developing new skills to maintain our ’employability.’ 

Dr. Michelle P. King is a globally recognized expert on inequality and organizational culture. Based on over a decade’s worth of research, Michelle believes that we need to learn how workplaces work, so we can make them work for everyone. She is the host of a popular podcast called The Fix. Michelle is the author of the bestselling, award-winning book: The Fix: Overcome the Invisible Barriers that are Holding Women Back at Work. Her second book, How Work Works: The Subtle Science of Getting Ahead Without Losing Yourself, was published internationally on October 10th, 2023 (HarperCollins). 

Michelle is an award-winning academic with five degrees including a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Organizational Psychology, a Master of Arts in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, a Master of Business Administration, a Postgraduate Degree in Journalism and a PhD in Management. Michelle is pursuing a post-doctoral research fellowship with Cranfield University in the United Kingdom.

In addition, Michelle is an award-winning speaker, having spoken at over 500 events worldwide including conferences like the Nobel Peace Prize Conference, Ellevate Network Conference, The Massachusetts Conference for Women, Texas Conference for Women, SXSW, She Summit and the Pennsylvania Conference for Women. Michelle is represented by London Speakers Bureau and regularly hosts keynotes, fireside chats or masterclasses with companies like, Amazon, FIFA, Guardian, Dior, FedEx, Netflix, BNP Paribas, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Met Life to name a few. Michelle is the founder of The Culture Practice, a global consultancy that provides leaders with the assessment, development, and inclusion coaching needed to build cultures that value difference. In addition, Michelle is a Senior Advisor to the UN Foundation’s Girl Up Campaign, where she leads the NextGen Leadership Development Program, which enables young women to navigate and overcome the barriers to their success. Before this, Michelle was the Director of Inclusion at Netflix. Before that, she was the head of UN Women’s Global Innovation Coalition for Change, which includes managing over 30 private sector partnerships to accelerate the achievement of gender equality and women’s empowerment. Michelle has two decades of international experience working in the private sector.

How Work Works draws from Dr. King’s 20 years of experience and research examining corporate cultures, which includes 72 original interviews with executives and two surveys on large multinational consulting firms with over 3000 participants. Here, Dr. King reveals why, in the new world of work, it is critical to know how to read and interpret other people’s feelings and intentions so you can manage your informal interactions with them–a phenomenon otherwise known as “reading the air.” After all, when it comes to working life, what you see is not always what you get.
