Wonder Woman in Business, Gena Cox

Freeman Means Business' Wonder Women in Business Podcast

Organizational psychologist Dr. Gena Cox is deeply interested in the human experience at work. She believes respect is the antidote to most workplace discontent and has codified this in her “Respect to Lead” offerings.

Gena’s work encompasses executive coaching, speaking, and advising business leaders. The common thread of her work is sharing nuanced, memorable, and actionable insights that her clients highly value.

She is the author of the award-winning and Amazon-bestselling nonfiction book Leading Inclusion, which shows how to counter the typically disappointing outcomes from “diversity, equity, and inclusion” work. Gena’s keynote speech equips leaders with strategies and techniques to boost employee engagement, performance, and results during turbulent and disruptive times. Her TEDx Talk, for a general audience, Yes … and Careers, encourages an exploratory approach to building a purposeful career. Her second book, to be published in 2024, explores the human condition through the lens of workplace interactions.

Gena’s work has been featured widely, including Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Fortune, Forbes, US News & World Report, Market Watch/Barrons, Business Journals, BBC Worklife, and Readers Digest.

Gena holds a Ph.D. in Organizational psychology. She currently serves on the American Psychological Association (APA) Committee for the Advancement of General Applied Psychology (CAGAP) and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP)’s Editorial Board for its Professional Practice Series.
