How to Have a Better Day at Work with Caroline Webb


Listen Later

In episode one of this Better@Work series opener, we’re excited to welcome the amazing Caroline Webb as our first guest for a fun and insightful chat. I am a huge fan of Caroline, and I’ve loved and leveraged her teachings for many years. Caroline is an executive coach, author, speaker and senior advisor to McKinsey, who specializes in showing us how to use the insights from behavioural economics, psychology and neuroscience to transform our approach to everyday working life for the better.  In this episode we share practical evidence-based techniques to help you have more control of your daily working life.

Quick episode breakdown:

  • I chat with Caroline about her book “How to Have a Good Day” and what inspired her work on how to be at our best at work
  • Caroline and I explore our understanding of what a good day looks like, the science, keeping our brains in discovery mode, and the mind body loop
  • Caroline shares her seven tips for a good day – Priorities, Productivity, Relationships, Thinking, Influence, Resilience and Energy
  • We have fun talking through the “When Then” technique, the multi-tasking myth, the “Positive No”, Brain-friendly feedback techniques, the “Peak-End” rule and even Donna Summer!!
  • In our “Let’s take this offline” segment I debrief on Caroline’s key insights with my friend Annette and answer a listener’s question about turning around a very challenging regular meeting
