On this episode of the podcast we have Isidora Torres, author of Working with Feelings, to discuss the topic of Dimensions of Care.
As a daughter of Filipino immigrants, Isidora greatly emphasizes understanding family dynamics and how they inform generational patterns. She has published work on her exploration as a Filipino-American within American culture and the impact of acculturation on identity.
As a People Operations and Culture expert, Isidora has developed a genuine interest in the intersection of emotion and work, expanding on her findings about the cultural and emotional landscape of the workplace in her book, Working With Feelings: Caring For Your Employees Through Cultural Humility and Emotional Fluency. She previously held People Operations roles at various startups and advocates for developing soft skills. She holds a Masters Degree in Counseling from Northwestern University.
Listen as we cover a range of topics from:
- What it’s like to show up as Filipinos in the Human Resource/People field
- Remembering our Babaylan history, and what it means to hold the healer/caretaker role
- How do we take care of ourselves as caretakers so we don’t burn out
If this episode has piqued your interest to be in conversation, I encourage you to bring your questions to the virtual office hours that we’re hosting on Monday, Feb 17th at 7pm ET. The event will be donation-based, and we’ll be giving the proceeds to Filipino families impacted by the LA fires.
More info on the event to be shared on our IG!
