In this third episode in our Maximising Hybrid Working mini-series we explore how to make the most of the days we are in-person. For those fortunate enough to have this option available, we share tips for planning ahead and balancing the workload of being in-person whilst your 'digital twin' is silently gathering more emails. If you use your in-person time to sit glued to the screen fielding emails then this is missing the benefit of face-to-face relationship-building, energy transmission and key culture-defining moments.
We share our SSS concept - bring Synchronicity (align who and when is coming in) to enable Serendipity (chance, informal conversations and knowledge-sharing) and create Social Moments (eating together as a team could replace umpteen hours of meetings through closer bonds).
We are the first generation of adults able to bring such flexibility to how we work, A useful listen for those finding their way with their hybrid working pattern, it also gives some language to help change or improve things if its not quite there yet.

227. Book Club - Trauma Informed Coaching - Flags for Everyday Conversations 29:25

för 7 dagar sedan29:25

29:25

Send us a text In this second in our 4-part series the books that have made an impact on us, we explore The Trauma Informed Coach written by Joanna Harper. What happens when someone shares their trauma with you at work? Do you freeze, try to fix it, or change the subject? We unpack the delicate art of navigating difficult conversations with compassion and boundaries. Trauma doesn't always look like what we expect. From poorly delivered feedback to public embarrassment, even seemingly small workplace incidents can create lasting limiting beliefs that hold people back from promotions, new challenges, and fulfilling careers. This episode offers practical guidance for creating safe spaces where people can share without judgment, while maintaining appropriate boundaries when you're not a therapist. Discover powerful questions that shift focus from past trauma to future growth: "What strengths did you develop from that experience?" and "Is that belief true for you now?" Learn simple grounding techniques for moments when someone becomes distressed, and explore the belief shift model for transforming limiting beliefs into empowering ones. The transformative potential of addressing trauma properly is immense. Debs shares stories of clients who've moved countries, built houses, launched charities, and found dream careers after breaking free from trauma-based limitations. As she powerfully notes, "your trauma has shaped who you are today, but it's not holding you there." Whether you're a coach, leader, or colleague, these trauma-informed approaches create workplaces where people feel safe to share and empowered to grow. Remember: the past is for reference, not for residence. What could become possible when you or someone you know breaks free from limiting beliefs rooted in past experiences?…

30:30

Send us a text Welcome to the first in our new 4-part series where we review 4 of the recent books that have made an impact on us. Ideal for those who find it tricky to get the time to read but want the benefits of learning in an easy-listen way with tangible takeaways weaved in. Mo Gawdat's Scary Smart book is as much a call to action as it is a good read for those interested in all thing Artificial Intelligence. Mo takes a creative look at AI and rather than us humans as unknowing consumers, we are unwitting creators in how AI is learning and adapting the more we use it. You can purchase the whole book here , or join us for a 30 min romp through the main bits as we mix in practical tips and ideas to bring this into everyday actions. If the AI game was changed back in Feb 2017 with Deepmind's AlphaGo, we now have an 18-year old artificial intelligence which is not only coming of age, but we've handed it the keys to the self-driving car. But parenting doesnt stop at 18, we can still make a difference to how AI develops - and we discuss Mo's thoughts on how to do this. Enjoy!…

Send us a text In the final of our 4-part 'time to think' mini-series, we shine a light on one of the darker aspects of working relationships: coercive control. Whether this is an unhealthy manager/team member dynamic or between colleagues we explore what it means, what to watch out for and how to break the cycle. Many face the silent struggle of feeling manipulated or undervalued by their bosses or colleagues—a dilemma that is not often openly discussed but profoundly impacts workplace morale. We dive deep into the characteristics of coercive control, exploring how it subtly manifests itself through micromanagement, gaslighting, or emotional manipulation.

Send us a text In the third of our 4-part 'time to think' mini-series, we focus on the importance of not just prioritising yourself, but to hold it as a core value to ensure a healthy balance in how you interact with people and the world at large. If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything (Katy Perry, song ROAR) so it boosts our confidence, purpose and energy. We focus on the body/mind link and what a realistic approach to a good life/work balance looks like in practice. We refresh the drivers/over-drivers concept to increase self-awareness about what might get in the way of putting ourselves first and how to reverse the psychology for positive power! If you know you are a perfectionist, make a perfect self-care plan. If you are a people-pleaser at heart, book in self-care with an accountability buddy that you know you wont want to let down. A useful listen for those wanting to remind themselves/inspire others to practice self-care.…

44:07

Send us a text In the second of our 4-part 'time to think' mini-series, we focus on the element that has a huge impact on our performance wellbeing at work: the relationship with our boss. According to Gallup, managers (more than any other factor) influence team engagement and performance. 70% of the variance in team engagement is determined solely by the manager (Gallup, 2021) but not all managers are easy to engage with! We are thrilled to be joined by Jill Walker, author of the 2007 book Is Your Boss Mad? Jill is passionate about teaching people to deal with bosses who are bullies or who let us down. She shares tips to identify, from the interview process onwards, what sort of boss we may be letting ourselves in for. Always practical, she shares some great tips to improve communication skills, boundary management and actions which are useful to reset an inappropriate power dynamic. Bosses are humans too, so this also has some great tips to focus on getting the best out of a challenging boss who may be under pressure themselves. A useful and uplifting listen for anyone who is finding leadership dynamics a challenge at the moment. Bringing this to the modern realities of AI, hybrid working and intergenerational differences, through understanding what might be going on beneath 'mad boss' behaviours we can reclaim our power and take steps to redress the power balance. You can find Jill's wildly entertaining (as well as empoweringly practical) ‘Is Your Boss Mad?’ book here…

Send us a text Welcome to our latest 4-part mini-series where we invite you to 'take time' to think about 4 important topics that underpin a thriving work-life in the 2020s. In this episode we explore the essential need for us to prioritise our mind health - for our own personal wellness as well as collectively as part of a thriving workplace culture. (PLEASE NOTE: This episode has references to suicide) We are honoured to be joined by Professor Tim Marsh (author of ‘Talking Safety’, ‘Handbook of Organised Wellbeing’ and other books) who shares the stark research demonstrating the very real impact that poor mental health is having on the workplace. Tim was one of the team leaders of the original UK research into behavioural safety in the early 1990s and has played a significant role in making workplaces safer over the last 30 years. We explore the realities, challenges and opportunities surrounding mind health in this decade and why it is so important to take time to prioritise this topic. We also discuss the impact of gender and generational differences and what this means for how we approach this topic with colleagues. A powerful listen, as Tim says 'you never know that you might have prevented' by having a kind word. (PLEASE NOTE: This episode has references to suicide) You can connect with Tim via his LinkedIn profile here He is the co-founder of Anker & Marsh (providing a full series of safety, health and wellbeing training, assessment and consultancy services) alongside Jason Anker You can purchase the book he mentions here Details about the life-changing On Trial event that we discuss can be found in Tim's write up here and by contacting P2BS…

Send us a text In the final episode of our 4-part series exploring how to reduce drama in our work lives, we explore the how to work well with people who have an opposite approach to how they work to yourself. Those who prefer detail vs big picture, who needs facts vs stories, who appreciate advanced thinking time vs enjoy brainstorming in the moment. As nature reminds us, there are huge advantages by balancing the yin to the yang, and as sure as day becomes night, being able to work across these differences is a useful skill that leads to collaboration as well as harmonious relationships. A useful listen for anyone who knows they have an 'opposite' in their team and wants to benefit from this in the year ahead (rather than 'cope' with it!)…

36:42

Send us a text In the third of our 4-part series exploring how to reduce drama in our work lives, we explore the difference between negative and positive team friction and the skills to address friction in a positive way. Using practical examples from the world of workplace mediation we highlight the language, tone and intent that can help shift friction from a negative (leaving a mark) to a positive (creating a spark). It can be tempting to use 'battle' language to describe frictions between people, but this can lead to a sense of not wanting to 'back down' and so engaging a conversation may bring with it a sense of defeat or giving in. We explore the impact it can have reframing this as a chance to 'step up' and be an act of courage and strength to want to engage and resolve frictions and challenges. A useful listen for anyone who is sensing that frictions are rumbling between people and wants to shift things on before it becomes irreparable. It is human to experience conflicts, and unpleasant as it can feel in the moment - can lead to the greatest working relationships through the bond that is created when its worked through.…

Send us a text In the second of our 4-part series exploring how to reduce drama in our work lives, we focus on identifying and handling saboteurs around us. We are joined once again by the inspirational Lindsey Thompson who simplifies the complicated world of organisational ‘scripts’. From the moment someone joins an organisation they can’t help but be subconsciously influenced by the script (eg ‘it’s hard to sell around here’ or ‘we are busy’) which underpins the culture (deflated, pressured). She shares tips for spotting saboteurs and to not mis-label people who are ‘wounded’, worried around change or inhibited by power politics playing around them. It also might be a genuine ‘saboteur’ but actually a really healthy challenge to hold a mirror up to a culture. So this is a good listen for those wanting to change things in their everyday workplace practices but doesn’t want to be branded negative or ‘saboteur’. Is your organisation ‘anxious’ as a collective? Lindsey shares practical tips for understanding what might lie beneath surface behaviours and the organisational script which may limit success and engagement. It’s an optimistic reminder that anyone can change, things can be made better - with awareness as the enabler. NB: Lindsey refers to ‘scripts’ which are our unconscious beliefs around how to be in the world in order to keep us safe and successful. She also uses the term ‘strokes’ which are the moments where we experience validation, acknowledgment and reassurance. And ‘games’ refer to the unconscious behaviour patterns with an intended outcome.…

A hot topic of our time, we see around us the one aspect that makes the difference: respect. Originating from the Latin word ‘respectus’ meaning ‘to hold in regard’ could the magic spell of ‘respectus collaboratus’ be the levels of mutual respect in and between teams?

Out of the million of words written about what makes a team successful, we think it probably be distilled down to one word: care. Using our CARE acronym, we explore concepts and practical examples around great Communication that means we check in on each other, practising Acceptance of each other rather than judging, being Ready to listen and shift from transactional to relational, and showing Empathy to each other. Whether virtual or in-person, keeping a good team going or looking for ways to improve things, we take a practical look at the role caring for each other has in getting the best work achieved. Particularly if it feels there is just not enough time to care, then our call to action is to prioritise it as a performance enabler.…
