The internal suffering many of us experience as a result of these, not to mention the ripples into other parts of our lives does not serve us to be healthy and happy - doing meaningful work that matters. We can make a choice to stop the drama and we are here to help you do that. 

We invite you to join us as we take a bad work story, pull it apart and share ideas and our experiences on how to make it good. Take what resonates with you and discard the rest. 

Life is too precious to waste time, energy and our attention on Bad Work Stories.

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

In todays episode  we discuss the question - Are we ( humans) the bad work story ? We often turn up tired, malnourished with short attention spans and fuses,  expecting amazing collaboration and no drama. By focusing our attention on building a stronger foundation can we start to improve the human conditions to reduce bad work stories ? What will you work on in 2023? 

Do we have the physical, mental and emotional energy to stop bad work stories happening and my answer was - sadly not all the time 

Points covered: 

• Emma and Corina check in for a new season and a new year. 
• We don’t help ourselves - We often turn up to work feeling tired, hungry, short attention spans and fuses, and yet we expect high performance. 
• Sleep - habits and tips that work for us.  
• Eat - what nutrition and hydration tips are helping us with our attention and performance 
• Move - the more we move in nature we know we feel better and our performance improves.  

Thank you for joining us today and we hope something in the episode resonated with you. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out.

Join Emma and Corina as they riff on the bad work story of today -  Working twice for the money. 

Congrats you got the promotion, bad news is you need to also do your old job until we find a replacement. How do we treat our high performers and what can you do when this happens to you? 

Points covered: 

• Without purpose and support, this is a practice that is unkind and can lead to burnout.  
• An opportunity to put values into action and take care of our High Performers and lift up the whole team in a creative way. 
• If this is you - go beyond your fear of rocking the boat and ask for what you need. Manage expectations from the start. 
• And if this is happening with your direct reports - you need to be proactive and ask the questions and keep watch. Signs of overworking and stress.

Join Emma and Corina as they riff on the bad work story of today -  Competitior vs culture. It can be scary to call out bad behavior in a meeting whether it's directed at you or you witness it. When we ignore behaviors that feel ‘off’ or are an obvious departure from what we say we believe ( our values) we actively decrease trust and safety in our team. It's on all of us to show up in these moments. 

Points covered: 

• The collateral damage that occurs when competitive behaviors go unchallenged
• The Acknowledge and Continue Strategy 
• The Pause and Address Strategy 
• How to use your own values and put the Company values to work ( for a change)
