In this energising episode of A Leader Like Me, Priya Bates and Advita Patel sit down with the dynamic and joy-fuelled Gabriel Galdamez—internal communications expert, community builder, and flying trapeze coach (yes, really!). Gabriel shares his unconventional journey into internal communications, his passion for purpose-driven work, and his reflections on what inclusion truly looks like when it’s done with integrity.
Together, they explore:
Why “bringing your whole self to work” can be problematic—and what to say instead
How trauma and trust (or the lack of it) influence how people show up in organisations
The myth of the ‘authentic self’ and how inclusion should offer people the choice of what to share
The danger of framing workplaces as "families" and why seeing them as teams creates healthier cultures
How introspection can be a game-changer for leaders building inclusive workplaces
What it means to lead with curiosity over judgement in a fast-changing world
This episode is a must-listen for internal comms professionals, HR leaders, and DEI advocates who want to move beyond surface-level inclusion and into real, transformational culture change.
Priya and Advita.
