Humanize Your Workplace

Getting to know our managers, colleagues and employees can be beneficial not only to our careers but the organization as a whole.   But how can we do it?  

In this episode, we're going to chat about the universal way to start a conversation.  HINT: you may already be doing it three times a day!

 On this week's episode of Humanize Your Workplace, we chat about how hiking and staying in Arizona gave me a fresh perspective on building authentic workplace relationships.  Learning "simple" tricks from hospitality professionals and strangers when hit with adversity. 

 On this week's episode of Humanize Your Workplace, we talk about ghosting.  We break down what it is, why people are doing it, and why it can damage your career.

We also talk about the difference between ghosting and forgetting. And how to follow up with someone when you've accidentally missed a meeting, call or an interview.

If you've ghosted someone in the professional space or have been ghosted, I would love to hear from you and have you on a future episode.  Just sent me an email or tweet @notokthatsok.

One of the essential parts of the workplace we forget to humanize is when we bring new people in.   

In this episode, we talk about why it's important to create a memorable experience during the interview and application process and how this can lead to more engaged employees.

We all express our emotions differently.  Some people yell at their coworkers, other skip work, and some just hide in the background.  This week we'll talk about how my 9yo's expression of anxiety over taking a standardized test relates to how we communicate at work and what to do to take our emotions (and projects) to the next level.
