Business as UNusual this week

Cultivating Belonging with Faith Clarke

Are your teamwork and leadership structures quietly sabotaging your mission? In this episode of Business as UNusual, Aicila sits down with Faith Clarke—organizational culture architect and founder of Work Ecosystems for Humans—to uncover why so many teams struggle with collaboration and true belonging, even when leaders think they’re doing everything right.

Faith challenges the myths about inclusivity, “DEI,” and collaborative leadership, pointing out the surprising ways traditional systems create burnout, invisible labor, and wasted energy—especially for marginalized leaders. Together, they dig into how to actually design environments where authentic belonging flourishes and collective leadership becomes natural—without falling into the traps of perfectionism or performative change.

If you’ve ever wondered why fostering real inclusion feels so tricky, or you’re ready to rethink power, accountability, and success in your organization, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and tangible next steps to build a more effective, human-centered business.
