This week on Unmapped, I speak with Nikki Tugano, the Founder of SeenCulture. Nikki is on a mission is ensure every human being in every organisation is seen and valued irrespective of who they are, what they look like or which role they perform in the organisation. Nikki is also positive psychologist with a passion for helping employees within organisations find optimal performance and wellbeing. We go deep into: The challenges of startup life and whether anyone can be a founderThe science of wellbeing and performance & the importance of purpose in workWhat keeps Nikki going when everything is !@#$edThe bottleneck in getting funding to Founders of under-represented communitiesSeenCulture’s global mission to ensure everyone feels… well, seen! I really enjoyed this conversation. I found Nikki to be articulate and considered. It’s always a joy to speak to someone with real expertise in their field and I learnt a lot from the jam we have on positive psychology & finding meaning in our work. Ask a positive psychologist and founder what they do when they have one of those really horrible months only a founder can understand - the ones where everything goes wrong and the world constantly feels like it’s ending - was illuminating. I bet you can imagine what the answer was! Enjoy the episode folks!
