• Abuse at work - the end does not justify the means.
    Aug 1 2024

    Tell us what you like about our show and share your Bad work stories so we can help. Thanks Emma & Corina

    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 we share with you

    • A Perspective for everyone.
    • A perspective / One insight for Leaders specifically
    • One practical tool that you can apply today.

    Take one or all 3 and you can then change your Bad Work story for the good.

    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 scandal at Strictly Come Dancing ( A BBC show) with allegations of abuse of Pro- dancers to their Celebrity partners. What learnings can we apply to our own workplace?

    Points covered

    • The importance of knowing your values and expressing your expectations. Have the courage to speak up when things go bad.
    • Leaders sucked into the mantra - the means justifies the end. Don’t be complicit, build an open and encouraging environment
    • Use and choose culture and onboarding as a tool to develop happy and productive workplaces and relationships.

  • When Leaders Fake Care and Connection
    Jul 25 2024

    Tell us what you like about our show and share your Bad work stories so we can help. Thanks Emma & Corina

    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 we share with you

    • A Perspective for everyone.
    • A perspective / One insight for Leaders specifically
    • One practical tool that you can apply today.

    Take one or all 3 and you can then change your Bad Work story for the good.

    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 a situation where a team member comes away from an informal catch up with his team leader feeling uninspired and disappointed. Despite the leader saying they value care and connection, the one way focus of this conversation gave a very different experience. Fake or fallen… let's discuss.

    Points covered

    • Before we judge - look in the mirror. Remember we are all human
    • Leaders need to work harder and align with our culture, care for our people and stem the resignations and people loss in our organisations. All eyes, ears and hearts are on you.
    • Be clear on the purpose of your meeting and get present with each other.

    This week, we explore the lessons from the elite sports taking place in Europe - the Final of the Euros, Wimbledon Tennis and The Tour de France - when it comes to the all or nothing reactions to losing. What lessons can we draw from these events and apply in our work.

    • What can we do differently as individuals to change the weight of our own and others' expectations ?
    • The impact of process goals v absolute goals
    • How do leaders hold the environment for a change in perspective of absolute failure in our culture? How do we role model something different and more empowering for the ongoing pursuit of the mission?
    • How a powerful but simple debrief can bring balance back into the system - self and the team and fuel future performance.

    This week, we explore the leadership and cultural failure at Boeing where tragic events are apparently not enough to reset a safety culture as the highest priority and truly reflect the company statements and values to all stakeholders. What can we learn from this ?

    Points covered

    • The leadership responsibility of purpose and an aligned culture and how things can go tragically wrong.
    • What happens when values are not connected to behaviour within the company and not role modelled by leaders.
    • The impact of talent leaving in highly specialised industries on safety and productivity
    • The three critical questions to ask about your values.
