Meet Our Founder

---

Workplace Digest was born from a simple, deeply personal belief: Work should never require someone to lose themselves in order to succeed.

Hello! My name is Leona Ugbo, and I created Workplace Digest because I have seen what so many professionals quietly carry. Over the past several years, I’ve worked across industries including tech, aerospace, manufacturing, and healthcare supporting professionals through career transitions, interviews, and workplace growth. I’ve seen firsthand professionals who  were talented, capable, and hardworking, yet emotionally exhausted. People trying to grow in their careers while navigating burnout, workplace conflict, leadership pressure, or seasons of painful transition.  What became clear to me was this: Too many professionals are surviving work in silence. Too many workplaces reward performance while overlooking the human cost. And too many people believe they have to suppress their emotions, shrink their values, or disconnect from who they are just to make it through the day.

Workplace Digest exists as a different kind of space. A trauma-informed, faith-aware platform designed to help everyday professionals; not only land roles and grow their careers, but also thrive with dignity, emotional safety, and hope. Here, we believe healing and high performance can coexist. We believe leadership can be compassionate and accountable. And we believe every professional deserves to be seen as a whole person, not just a job title.

Thank you for being here. My prayer is that Workplace Digest reminds you that you are not alone, your work matters, and your story still carries purpose.

With compassion,
Leona Ugbo
