Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy
Retail leadership isn’t what it used to be — and neither are you.
After 30+ years of navigating the realities of store floors, boardrooms, restructures, and reinventions, I’ve learned this: the gap between what retail leaders need to grow and what companies actually provide is wider than ever. Promotions don’t come with clarity. Expectations rise, but context disappears. And while the metrics may shift, the pressure never does.
This podcast is for the retail leader who's already proven themselves — and still wants more.
This podcast is for the experienced retail leader who wants more — not more work, but more direction, more insight, and more impact.
I'm Steve Worthy — retail executive coach and founder of Worthy Retail Global. I’ve coached and developed thousands of leaders over three decades, and I created this podcast to give you the straight, strategic guidance I wish I had earlier in my career.
You’ve earned your position. Now let’s make sure you lead like it.
Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy
Ep18 - Is your hairstyle divisive and hindering your professional career? Guest: Walter Gainer II
In this episode, we discuss a form of bias that Isn't spoken about often. Can a particular hairstyle be seen as unacceptable and divisive within corporate america? We tackle this highly personal and seldom broached conversation that many Black and Minorities are dealing with each day. Our Guest Is Walter Gainer II.
Walter Gainer II is a problem solver who helps individuals and businesses do what they do best while reducing their stress. He does this by creating marketing and business solutions to help reach new growth. He's also used his expertise to create a space to address the obstacles that Black employees and business owners face in the workplace.
“This all started right after college when I was nervous about being rejected in job interviews because of my locs. I knew I would thrive in any role I got but wasn't sure how to get past the job interview without cutting my locs"
Using his insecurities and curiosity, Walter created a platform to support Black people pursuing growth in their career, as business owners and their natural hair journey.
