Description

In this episode of Stress Mess: A Stress Less Podcast, I sit down with Krista Hayes, founder of Zone Walk Solutions, to explore how a simple but powerful mindset—assuming good intentions—can transform workplace communication and trust.

We cover:

• Why “assuming good intentions” is a game-changer for leaders and employees
• HR’s evolving role and the challenges of trust, anonymity, and demographic data collection
• How perception shapes relationships, including Krista’s story of a misunderstood note-taking habit
• The difference between the Golden Rule and the Platinum Rule in building stronger connections
• Why organizations should hire for culture addition rather than assimilation
• How linking employee, client, and partner experiences creates healthier ecosystems

This episode will give you fresh perspectives on communication, culture, and trust that you can bring back to your own workplace.
