Aoife emphasises the importance of identifying a person with whom you'd like to improve your relationship at work. It could be a colleague, boss, or senior leader. By focusing on building a better connection with this individual, you can create a positive impact on your overall work experience.


The episode goes on to discuss common obstacles that hinder positive relationships, including emotions, over- or under-functioning, and differences in communication styles. Aoife explores practical steps to overcome these challenges, such as understanding different personalities, adapting your communication style, and considering the intentions behind others' behaviour.
