Elephants, Elections, and Office Anxiety – Oh My!

The Elephant in the Org

Send us a text

Election season is upon us, and it’s not just your social media feed that’s feeling the heat—your workplace is, too. In this episode of *The Elephant in the Org*, hosts Danny Gluch, Marion Anderson, and Cacha Dora tackle the tension that creeps into offices during politically charged times. From navigating differing opinions at work to managing post-election anxieties, we explore how to maintain psychological safety when emotions run high.

Is it possible to keep things civil in the office when things get messy outside? Should organizations offer moderated spaces for political conversations, or are they just asking for trouble? And how do we support colleagues who might be struggling after the election without turning the workplace into a battlefield?

It’s a lively, thoughtful discussion on what happens when *the personal becomes professional*. Whether you’re managing a team, navigating political conversations, or just trying to survive the watercooler talk, this episode offers practical insights with a healthy dose of humor.

Tune in to hear our take on how to stay sane, civil, and connected at work—even when the world feels anything but.
