Emma and Corina are on a mission to stop bad work stories. Work need not be a place of drama and suffering. It can be a place of joyful collaboration and growth for all. 

We take everyday situations and apply practical and kind strategies to improve them. 

You take what resonates with you for your leadership and facilitation toolkit. 

In this episode, we look at the recent controversy at the giant media company in the Uk and unpick the elements that made it toxic. What can we learn from this? 

Points covered: 

• When a cover-up culture protects the brand at all costs
• A duty of care document that has all the right words but no substance 
• The collateral damage of no care and no responsibility   
• When star power trumps common sense, we all go numb
• Leadership role modeling and the consequences of tolerating non-aligned behaviours  
• The need for strong facilitation skills to change the culture and ask the tough questions

We end Season Two with a good work story - a reflection. 

In episode One, we started with a question - Are we the Bad Work story ? us - you and me. The humans who show up to work tired and distracted doing our best to survive and yet expected to deliver consistent levels of high performance. 10 weeks later, how are we integrating the habits which lay the foundation for collaboration, connection, energy and presence at work. 

As the Greek Poet Archilochus said 

“ We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” 

Here’s to increasing the level of our training when it comes to handling Bad Work stories. 

Points covered: 

•  Emma and Corina reflect on their own use of the foundational habits. 
• A summary of the key strategies we explored this season - from Valentines Day with love at work, to International Womens Day, Narcissism and how honesty can kill your culture and what happens when you have no time to enjoy cake. 
• A reflection on BWSMG - what's going well and what to keep working on

And a huge thank you to everyone who is on this mission with us. We are committed to spreading the message so if you have any feedback on the podcast  - the good, the bad and any Bad Work stories you would like to be address please email us.

Emma and Corina are on a mission to stop bad work stories. 

Join Emma and Corina as they discuss a situation where a team has worked on their development all day, including their culture. Right at the end of the session, as they are checking out, a team member says, “ I dont think everyone has been as honest as they could have been today, but it is a start. “  Nervous laughter or awkward silence, and we move on, or do we?   

What do you do?   #teammember responsibilities, #leadership #facilitationskills #honesty #safetyandtrust 

Points covered: 

• A very normal default reaction is to do nothing, feel awkward and move on
• Universal v personal - how do we own it.  
• How to use the culture as your guide for a ‘teachable moment’ 
• An offline recovery strategy and how to close the loop with the team 
• The power of humility and learning for growth in self and others
