  • Communication is the Trash Bin of Business Issues

    This season the Make Work Human Podcast, Jen Baggett, and I are talking about the Three Elements of Team Dynamics through the lens of human behavior and helping you stop expecting YOU from other people.


    In this week's episode, we start to break down the first of the Three Elements, communication, by looking at all the ways that people can misunderstand each other - and how it's never intentional.

    It's a massive asset to describe your communication style to others so that they know what to expect. However, many of us don't know how to communicate in words (funny how that works).

    Learning how to share your style with others is invaluable.

  • Stop Expecting YOU From Other People

    Raise your hand if you know that everyone has different work styles.


    Now raise the other hand if you still get frustrated when people don’t work like you.

    Woohoo – we all have our hands in the air! 🙌

    The Make Work Human Podcast is BACK, baby!

    This season is all about Stop Expecting YOU from Other People.

    Jen Baggett, and I will be breaking down three main themes that deeply impact team cohesion and how we interact with others at work.

    The three main themes are:
    Communication
    Action Taking
    Decision Making

    We’ll be using the lens of human behavior in simplifying how to identify your style, and more importantly, how that interacts with other people’s style.

  • Wait, I pissed you off? Let me clean it up.

    Raise your hand if you've ever pissed off anyone in your life.


    Raise the other if you had no idea how to clean it up, so you ignored it and hoped it would just get better.

    Whether we intend to or not, our actions can hurt the people in our lives. And it's up to us to clean it up.

    In this week's episode, we talk all about intent and impact.

    We share the key to cleaning it up when we've gone and made a mess of things without meaning to - and there is no empty "I'm sorry" involved.

    Do you think a simple apology is enough - or do you go deeper when addressing your breakdowns with others?

  • Laughter is the Universal Language: Interview with James Buckley

    Are you trying to be somebody's everything?


    Are you exhausted by it yet?

    To become well-rounded, we have to own our human characteristics - the ones we like and those we don't. Equally.

    Our development never ends either. It is a lifelong process and is not only rewarding but can be super fun too.

    This is just a fraction of the insight and laughs we have with the one and only James "Saywhatsales" Buckley on this week's episode of Make Work Human Podcast. We all laughed so hard we couldn't breathe in most of this episode - and if you know James, you can only imagine the fun we had with him.

    James shares his incredibly inspiring story of perseverance and triumph over some huge obstacles - and how he helps others do the same.

    You'll laugh.
    You'll cry.
    You'll laugh until you cry.

    And you will feel incredibly human.

  • Human Works in Progress - Interview with Jordana Zeldin
    We are all works in progress.
    Messy
    Evolving
    Imperfect
    And it's time we stop hiding it. Drop the mask, and admit that none of us have all the answers.
    This is the utter human brilliance of Jordana Zeldin and her story of how she transformed how she lived, worked, and ran her business. She is a walking, breathing inspiration and an incredible sales coach who guides others to use their humanity to service clients.
    When we give ourselves permission to own that we have no idea what we're doing, we permit others to do the same.
    This is one tiny sliver of the depth of topics we discuss on this week's Make Work Human Podcast.

  • How We Handle the Shame Spiraling Vortex of Doom

    Damit.

    I did it again.
    I forgot to send that email.
    GAHHHH - why am I like this???

    Cue the throngs of inner mean girls coming to tell me just how awful I am and how I'm terrible at everything in life.

    Can you relate?

    Sometimes it's the littlest things that can send us into the spiraling vortex of doom.

    In this week's episode of Make Work Human Podcast, we get real and raw about our own shame and anxiety spirals - and how we deal with them.

    And it's not always super healthy - but it's real.

  • Feeling the Burn(out)?

    Are you guilty of the fly-by dive bomb check-in?


    You know, when you pop by your people's office or randomly call them to ask them what they're working on.

    Your intentions may be supportive, but the impact is far from it. Especially in a year when everyone is hypersensitive to feeling like they don't know what they're doing and that they're not doing enough.

    In this episode, we talk about the upcoming one-year mark of living at work and how it has caused some fatigue.

    We also share some ways to help alleviate that fatigue - including laying on the floor between meetings. Hey, don't knock it until you try it.

    Job searching is tough.

    Job searching in a pandemic is next-level exhausting.
