People Soup

Season 4 Episode 12

Hi P-Soupers - we're back after our mid season break and we're seven weeks into our relocation to Malaga in Spain, a project we're calling El Camino.

In this episode I reflect on the busyness of my anxious mind over the last few weeks and months and what I found useful to keep me moving forward on El Camino.

There's also a little treat - an interlude featuring my pal, Annie Gascoyne, where we discuss issues that organisations are currently facing and our Flexibility@Work Programme.

Season 4 Episode 10

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 4 Episode 10 of People Soup.

P-Soupers – thanks for tuning in –this week it’s what you’ve been waiting for - the second part of my chat with psychologist, author and academic - Dr Nic Hooper

In Part 2 of our chat we delve into the process of writing a book, who knew that choosing the title and strapline was so important? Nic also choses a song or songs to announce the arrival of his book and there are a couple of cracking takeaways - one for students, one for parents.

This chat was recorded on a special day in June - a significant day for the Hoopers and the evolution of this book - you’ll find out more at the end.

Season 4 Episode 7

Hi P-Soupers, thanks for tuning in – this week it’s another cup-a-soup called Thanks for Asking. I want to build upon last week’s episode - GETTING CURIOUS - where I suggested one way we could ask colleagues about their experience of work - so in this episode - I’m going to answer that very same question based upon my personal experience.

My suggested conversation openers were:

“I’m curious how you experience this workplace, would you be willing to share?”

OR

“What’s it like to be you in this workplace?”

Season 4 Episode 6

P-Soupers – thanks for tuning in –this week it’s another cup a soup with me called 'Getting Curious' - I want to build upon last week’s episode - perspectacles - and really consider how we can get curious about how other people experience the workplace. As I said in perspectacles - we’re can’t hear each other’s internal soundtracks - we don’t know our colleagues work song - and I’m going to draw upon evidence from psychologist, Sarah Bonner and an organisation called Blueprint for All.

Season 4 Episode 5

P-Soupers, thanks for tuning in. This week it’s a cup-a-soup with me. I want to talk to you about perspective taking and how that relates to the world between our ears - if you could just try on these perspectacles please and read the bottom line of the chart....

I’m going to be having a go at exercising my creativity - experimenting with ways to illustrate my point, which is, that we all live inside our heads - and often - we can assume other people are in their with us - think like us and really ‘get us’.

In my work and life I constantly marvel that workplaces can function, relationships can happen and agreements can be made, because I reckon we can spend a lot of time just assuming that people are thinking just like us. And what’s going on in someone else’s head - can shape how they look at and experience the world and how they show up. And the same applies to us. I combine my thinking with a great exercise from a recent guest - Diana Hill.

Season 4 Episode 4

P _Soupers – thanks for tuning in – this week it’s part two of my chat with Dr. Stan Steindl, clinical psychologist, author, expert in Motivational Interviewing and Compassion Focussed Therapy and Youtube influencer.

We cover loads in our chat – you can hear my review of Stan's book, 'The Gifts of Compassion - how to understand and overcome suffering'. We go on to talk about the development of the compassionate other, the fears, block and resistances to compassion and how we can use these to guide our approaches in introducing compassion to organisations. We finish with a brilliant takeaway from Stan, where he introduces a metaphor for all of us in the development of our own compassionate approach.
