Inclusion, Connection, and Lessons from the Rink with Erin Davis

In this episode, I sit down with Erin Davis to dive into a candid and wide-ranging conversation about connection, inclusion, and embracing change—both in and outside of the workplace. From stories about childhood belonging (or lack thereof) to how we make people feel in our everyday interactions, this episode explores how our lived experiences shape the way we form relationships and communicate across differences.

You’ll hear Erin share her journey from being a hockey skeptic to lacing up her own skates as an “elder millennial” and how trying something new on the ice turned into powerful lessons about leadership, teamwork, and building truly inclusive spaces. Michael and Erin also share honest reflections about networking, communication challenges among generations, and how recalibrating our beliefs can be healthier than relentlessly pushing forward.

Tune in for practical wisdom, a few good laughs, and a reminder that we all just want to feel included.
