Psychology at Work

Emotions are contagious - both positive and negative - whether we like it or not.  Listen as Casey and Tim break down the mechanisms of emotional contagion and discuss how to prevent it.

Opening quote:
“Repeatedly catching negative emotions from the people in our lives can create a miasma—preventing us from seeing the contagion or its cause. Instead, we sense we’re in an unhealthy environment. And in worst-case scenarios, emotional contagion leads to harmful actions.”  -Carlin Flora (Article referenced: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/201906/protect-yourself-emotional-contagion)

How we show up and the impact we have, hinges on our mindset.  It's a decision we make every day.  Listen as Casey and Tim break down this human process and call for a movement!

What exactly are significance and purpose?  Listen as Casey and Tim explore these two constructs, the inherent subjective nature of them, and learn about a key first step in discovering your significance and purpose in yourself.

Opening quote:
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”  -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Drs. Casey and Tim dive into the concept of Psychological Safety.  What is it?  What is it not (how it's been twisted)?  Neuroscience, fear, baseball and being "name called" all find their way into the discussion....and more!

"Rocco wanted to create the same environment, to get players to be the best versions of themselves.  There's a lot of transparency in the clubhouse, to where he's found a way to be over-communicative.  That is the way he leans on his coaching staff.  With Rocco, it's never about him. He arrives at the best possible conclusions for our team by talking to the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the strength and conditioning coach, the trainers, everyone. It creates a psychologically safe environment in which to share ideas."  This quote by MN Twins Chief Baseball Officer, Derek Falvey, sets the stage for the focus of this episode.

Amy Edmondson, professor at Harvard Business School, first identified the concept of psychological safety in work teams in 1999.
