We are on a mission to end suffering at work. 

Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.  

A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.

We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations. Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on. 

This week, we chat about passive onboarding and how it wastes time and creates unnecessary waiting and uncertainty. Pre installed alignment that quickly sets everyone up for success is possible - purpose and culture - USE IT ! Your new people will thank you for it. 

Thank you for joining us.

Today we celebrate our 2 year anniversary and we thank everyone who has listened, given us feedback and joined us on the mission to stop suffering at work. 

We are taking a podcast pause to work on creative development and will be back soon.

We appreciate your email address and will treat it with respect. 

With Love Emma and Corina

• What happens when values are not connected to behaviour within the company and not role modelled by leaders.

We are on a mission to end suffering at work. 

Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.  

A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.

Each week, we take ONE Bad work story - and discuss: 

• A Perspective for Everyone. 
• A Perspective for Leaders, specifically 
• One practical tool that you can apply today. 

Take one or all three, and you can improve your Bad Work story today. 

We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations. Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on. 

This week, we celebrate a good work story - the Paris Olympics and what we can learn from elite high performance and culture.  Dive in and apply to your own performance and business. 

Thank you for joining us today.

We are on a mission to end suffering at work. 

Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.  

A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.

Each week, we take ONE Bad work story - and discuss: 

• A Perspective for Everyone. 
• A Perspective for Leaders, specifically 
• One practical tool that you can apply today. 

Take one or all three, and you can improve your Bad Work story today. 

We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations.   Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on. 

This week, we explore the news coming out of Mineral Resources Australia, where the MD prefers to hold employees captured all day - walking outside for a coffee is too costly.

Points covered

• Is this a culture fit for you ? 
• Low trust and low autonomy for productivity in HQ 
• How does this approach align with the Vision, Purpose, Values and people statements on their website. 

Thank you for joining us today.

We are on a mission to end suffering at work. 

Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.  

A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.

Each week, we take ONE Bad work story - and discuss: 

• A Perspective for Everyone. 
• A Perspective for Leaders, specifically 
• One practical tool that you can apply today. 

Take one or all three, and you can improve your Bad Work story today. 

We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations.   Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on. 

This week, we explore the impact of a bad customer experience over a parking fine and a complaints department that can't talk to the call centre or the customer! 

Points covered

• If customers are everyone's priority, why do we get frustration and friction instead of flow and fun?
• What’s the real agenda?  Profit over reputation
• How do you get the customer line of sight connection across an organisation?

Thank you for joining us today. 

Suppose you want to upgrade your skills and confidence in handling group dynamics and increase the effectiveness and joy of your meetings. In that case, we invite you to join us at the following online facilitation course Corina will run in October. It will be four hours once a week for eight weeks. We have a special discount offer for BWSMG listeners :)

2 weeks ago we did an episode that looked behind the scenes of the Womens Football World Cup and how the women involved need to double down on their resilience for games played off the field. When the Spanish team took to the winners podium, the President of their Governing Body grabbed the Spanish Captain, held her head with both hands and kissed her on the mouth. He said it was consensual. Jenni Hermoso said it was not. Local and Global outrage unfolded and finally 3 weeks after the final ( in the day we planned to record this episode) the Spanish federation issued an apology to all its shareholders and fired the victorious Spanish Coach, The President is still refusing to resign and as of today ( one day after recording) Jenni has filed a complaint against him for Sexual assault. 

Points covered: 

• Why we need to talk about this and not ignore it 
• How do we use this public and now global situation to increase dialogue within our teams on personal space and appropriate touching in celebration settings 
• What to do when your boundaries are crossed.

In this episode, we explore a situation where a leader with positional power asks to be updated in a meeting because they are too busy to come prepared. The team member leading the meeting did what they were asked to do, felt terrible and now seeks alternative actions beyond the stronger words they had in their mind! We share several strategies to deal with this specific situation. 

Points covered: 

• Culture is your set-up for success tool. 
• Deal with trouble spots you know of in advance and be direct.
• Be careful of what behaviours from leaders you tolerate   
• How not to summarise and what to suggest instead 
• How trust, presence and emergence can be your friend
• The ‘Apologise and Let Go’ Strategy or the Rocky Strategy ( Corina’s dog) - change your position and go to sleep on the floor

Behind the many good ( and inspirational) work stories of this Women's Football World Cup lie several bad work stories that show us how resilient the players must be to perform at their best despite all the noise - past, present and future.

Points covered: 

• The politics of pay 
• Tension in  teams - what can we learn from ‘player revolt’ and how different countries handled it
• Resourcing for success
• Culture from the start  - values and results.

In this episode, we explore the use of ‘authentic self” as a justification for bad behaviour in teams - dominating discussions, speaking on behalf of others, inappropriate banter and emotional downloads. How to overcome this and head for the high ground of being your best to serve the team purpose. 

Points covered: 

• Teams are a WE, not ME 
• Speak from the I  - your views not speaking for others
• The collateral damage potential of the ‘authentic’ self 
• The importance of bringing your best self to power your team purpose.

We are on a mission to end suffering at work. 

Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.  

A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.

Each week, we take ONE Bad work story - and discuss: 

• A Perspective for Everyone. 
• A Perspective for Leaders, specifically 
• One practical tool that you can apply today. 

Take one or all three, and you can improve your Bad Work story today. 

We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations.   Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on. 

This week, we explore what happens when you get a new leader whose leadership style is not your preference. What can you do? 

Points covered

• How to play the game and stay in integrity. 
• Conserving your  cognitive and emotional energy - ie sleep at night. 
• Go back to your secret organisational power 
• Calling leadership peers to step up and support. 

Thank you for joining us today.
