Inside Job

71: To Reveal Or Not Reveal


Listen Later

How much of your identity should you share with your co-workers? Does bringing your personal life to work help build trust, or does trust need to exist before you share your personal life at work?

What do you do if you don't want to discuss your personal life at work?

As Nayla has said many times, we spend over 90,000 hours of lives at work – so inherently we build a social community within our work. This is true whether we like it or not. As communal creatures we benefit from the connection, but also must recognize the risks associated with various forms of relationships at work.

How do we balance it all? In this episode we tackle these questions, and more. We revisit boundaries and values and highlight how these tools help us determine what works for us and how they help us navigate these sometimes-uncomfortable situations. We also offer some practical advice for making your work culture work for you.

Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
