Using experiences of their own as well as some great examples send in by listeners, Kim and Fulyana look at how a simple “thank you” to acknowledge specific service can have a huge impact. It is equally important when the service has not met expectations, if it has been addressed and rectified.

In the final part of our discussion with Beatrice Adenodi, Kim and Fulyana consider the process of “changing lanes” in our thinking so that we can look at repetitive behaviours from another perspective.

In the second part of our discussion, Beatrice challenges the way the words leaders, managers and bosses are used as well as the “human” part of our resources in organisations.

This week we begin a 3 part discussion with Beatrice Adenodi from the US about “mindless behaviours”. A sought-after business leadership consultant and speaker, and a first-generation Nigerian American, Beatrice’s unique marketing perspective gives her the ability to recognize the mindless behaviors that prevent us from reaching our untapped, limitless potential.

This week Kim and Fulyana look at their experience in considering potential employees that come with a “history”. This might be addiction, criminal record or what appears to be too many changes of workplace.

How do we ensure the recruitment process gives us the right fit for the job, the team and the organisation whilst allowing that, as humans, we all make mistakes?

In the final part of our discussion with Nick Jonsson, Kim and Fulyana hear about Nick’s journey in the last few years and how that has translated to helping others recognise the inherent dangers of working towards isolation and loneliness.

Kim and Fulyana continue their discussion with Nick Jonsson based in Singapore. This week we hear how a simple 2019 video that went viral, brought the issue of executive loneliness into the limelight and then how the following years of pandemic actually assisted the cause.

This week Kim and Fulyana begin a 3 part discussion with Nick Jonsson about serious mental health challenges for senior executives.

Nick is the Co-Founder and MD of one of Asia’s premiere networking organizations. He has built a caring community that provides hundreds of executives a safe haven to share their challenges and receive support whilst learning from each other.

Sometimes the resources (human ones!) for a special project are not within your team, although some team members might consider they are capable of special tasks.

This week Kim and Fulyana explore how to effectively manage the resourcing of a project both from within and outside your organisation so it becomes a win-win experience for all.

What can you do when an enthusiastic team member starts promoting involvement in a project before you have determined the resourcing of your team for that project? Obviously enthusiasm needs to be maintained but is there a negative side to this as well?

This week Kim and Fulyana look at how to balance enthusiasm and project planning in the early stages of a team creation.
