The Friction Free podcast series is brought to you by Onefish Twofish.

In this 45-minute conversation with Alan Wick, business coach and consultant - you will hear:

• The legacy of command and control, KPIs and the rigidity of 20th century management thinking
• Why we shouldn’t be seduced by the fashion for throwing around words like empowerment, freedom and self responsible
• What is a realistic goal for uber large or highly regulated organisations, in terms of self responsibility
• How to handle organisations driven by big personalities where leaders are ‘leading hard’ and the transition to distributed power feels large.
• Is it literally a case that the more the self responsibility the better? (Short answer = no)
• Why (despite the rush for experimentation) developing self responsibility requires a more gradual change and the case for ‘pre-paving’ for the change
• Hear Alan troubleshoot and me through a range real world examples of where self responsibility has got stuck

Side hustling - the development of additional revenue streams alongside your full time career - is here and it’s here to stay so what should companies understand about this shift in their employees’ mindsets (and income streams). In this podcast, we talk to John Bura, CEO of Mammoth Interactive

• What companies can gain from fostering their employee’s desire to learn new things, take their own initiative and develop their own side hustle 
• Stealing ideas … or bringing new ideas back in the organisation? How should organisations consider the flow of  intellectual property - both hard and soft?
• Why what matters most is that your people prosper.
• The concept of the half-way side hustle - where the employer finds the work for them!
• What to do when it gets messy…. (and it might)
• … and how to set up your own side hustle, if you want to do this yourself.

Roy Marriott has the deftest of touches when it comes to organisation change. Whatever challenges I’ve thrown at him over the last couple of years (and in this podcast), he seems to have the knack of reframing, rethinking and making oh so simple.

Join Roy and I to explore:

• The two secrets Roy knows that no one else* knows (and by the way, there is a bonus Secret 2A!)
• Why the greatest impediment to organisational change is the idea that it can be achieved through an organisational change process
• What Appreciative Inquiry can teach us about generating change without generating friction and help us see organisations as a complex adaptive system in which change is naturally happening all the time
• What is Agile organisational development .. and why it’s more effective and how you can sell to a board and get a  budget for?
• What is the Zone of Productive Change? Clue: it’s the overlap between what the org wants and what individuals want.
• Hear Roy coach me through a real change challenge I’m working on right now.

(*Well some people do, but it’s quite cool to hear Roy describe them in his clever words)

We reference:
- Kotter’s model of change (and by the way, it’ll take 10 years)

Steve Stark and his company, Then Somehow, make tools for making work better… and he also makes the most heavenly cider in Sussex slash the world.

Email is not just ‘email’ but:

• a major part of our working life we’ve not been given skills to handle
• which is influenced by social norms
• and taps into our addictive desire for information and connection

No wonder it remains a problem that resists solution. Steve Stark’s workshop tackles the root cause of the email problem for each individual - and clears their inbox by the end of the day.

Full of hidden gems, in this podcast you will find out:

• Why email is not just email but an activity that is influenced by and exerts invisible forces, unacknowledged beliefs and untested assumptions - and that uncovering these is the secret to unshackling ourselves from our email
• How our email problem is all our own fault… and why that’s BRILLIANT because it means we can do something about it
• The mysterious outcomes that emerge when people tame their inbox: “I feel more engaged at work”
• How tackling email is a powerful and accessible lever to address bigger culture issues in a safe way and through experimenting.. including a blame culture or lack of clarity of ownership and decision making
• And most importantly… what is the earliest socially acceptable time of day to drink cider

In this 45-minute conversation with Martyn Evans - Head of Product at Unboxed - you will hear:

• Learning from Government Digital Service - the surprise success story from the heart of UK central government
• The unintended consequences of trying to scale something emergent
• Why we should try to understand our stakeholders to the same depth as we understand the users of the service
• How to find a way to open up the conversation from when a stakeholder says ‘we know what we want’
• Why when people who are used to rules start using Agile, weird things can happen
• Whether it’s worth the cost and blood/sweat/tears of trying to shift to a more agile way of working
• The credible alternative to systematically rolling out Agile (and it’s very cool)
• Why Martyn no longer tolerates people saying ‘digital is a way to save money’. It’s not - it’s a way to make things better.

In this 45-minute conversation with Alan Moore, speaker, author and creator of beauty in business, you can find out more about how…

• Beauty forms the building blocks for life and therefore a beautiful business in one that is there to add to the world, and the opposite of one that is designed to consume and amass profit at any cost
• We are not really allowed to talk about beauty at work - despite the fact that it’s one of the most powerful organising principles we have available to us as humans
• “Is this the most beautiful decision we can make” is the ultimate cut through. Everyone knows what this means. It speaks to a higher, deeper, more integrated
• Is beauty too high an aspiration for a regular business like yours and mine?
• What beautiful leadership, decision making, culture products and services really look like in practice - from zero hours contracts to fuel emissions.
• None of us want to make ugly decisions - and what beauty truly gives us.
• Our future values are shifting and we want the profitable decision AND the good decision (and millennials are willing to fight for it)

We reference:

• Alan’s book Do Design: Why Beauty is Key to Everything
• A Beautiful Question by Frank Wilczek - a Nobel Prize-winning physicist argues that beauty is the fundamental organizing principle for the entire universe

In this 45-minute conversation with Corrina Gordon-Barnes - founder, coach and practitioner in reducing relationship friction - you will hear:

• The mental soundtrack that causes all of the friction in our relationships and gets in the way of feeling connected and ‘being ok’ as a person
• How we give power to the other person, making them the reason why we don’t feel ok - and why we have to stop this (hard, hard, hard - or is it?!)
• Learn how our expectations set up resentment for the future and, whilst they might be reasonable, they take out into fiction and outside our own zone of power .. and into stress and frustration
• Discover a step by step process for working with that mental soundtrack to break its power over us, get into stress-free reality and making progress towards what we DO want rather than fighting what we DON’T want.
• And why acceptance is the opposite of being passive (bear with us!) and takes us INTO our power
• ***Listen to A live coaching session with Carrie, working through a real scenario for real using this process***

• Byron Katie and The Work
