Spring Renewal season: part 1 of 3... Spring here in the UK has been glorious this year and is a great time to think about exciting new beginnings, but I have to be honest I have been thinking about death and endings a lot recently. I’ve been offline from here and taking some time away from the podcast following my dad’s passing.
As I pause, reflect and readjust, I am resharing these popular past episodes for the next 3 weeks, and I will be back soon with new podcast episodes, topics and guests.
I invite you to take this moment to refresh and rejuvenate your perspectives on global leader communication. Start the new season and get inspired, whether revisiting past ideas with a fresh outlook, or embarking on new learning and growth.
This week we re-look at 'How to have good conversations at work'.
Collaboration tools enhance productivity, but as meetings become shorter, opportunities for genuine connection decrease. Conversations are vital for personal well-being, fostering a sense of belonging, improving mood, and boosting career growth—especially in cross-functional and multicultural work environments. They also strengthen teams by building trust, morale, and offering fresh perspectives.
With remote and hybrid work on the rise, social well-being is more crucial than ever, yet the art of conversation is fading. Creating meaningful dialogue is a valuable skill that can bring moments of joy and connection.
In today’s episode, we explore how to have better conversations through listening, curiosity, reciprocity, and observation.
