“It’s Not Personal, It’s Just Business.” Many of us have heard this phrase uttered at work as a means of dismissing the tough messages or bad behavior that proceeded it. It is often used by someone who thinks what happened should not be taken personally.

Today we are discussing the topic of Vulnerability at Work. Practicing vulnerability is not only about sharing personal information and your feelings - employees display vulnerability every time they bring up a new idea in a meeting or challenge an old way of thinking.

Joining us in The Leadership Living Room for this important conversation is author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach Jo Saxton. Join us as we get curious about the impact of gender differences in the workplace and “reveal what feels real” for women at work right now.

The topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is being highlighted everywhere we look but many people still feel hesitant to talk about it, especially at work! Worrying about saying “the wrong thing” prevents many people from initiating conversations about this important and difficult topic.

During times of significant disruption, many people begin to ask themselves existential questions, including questions about, “Why am I working so hard?” and “What is all of this for?” So we decided to use this inflection point as a reflection point and help people find more meaning in their work.

When the world is throwing punch after punch, even people with extraordinary stress tolerance will struggle to stay focused and think clearly at work. To survive, and even thrive, in the face of constant change and disruption people need to practice resilience. But what does that mean? Angelika Jones, an accomplished coach and thought-leader in Applied Positive Psychology, joins us in The Leadership Living Room for a conversation that will help people “stay above the line” and adopt strategies that help us better respond to threats and change.

On this episode we explore the impact of uncertainty on human performance and productivity at work. 2020 provided everyone with ample uncertainty (boatloads of uncertainty!) both inside and outside of the workplace. These new threats and fears impact the productivity of people at work.

We may be new to podcasting but we have been reaching and teaching business leaders all over the world for decades. In fact, some of the biggest companies in the world trust us with their biggest leaders.
