Roundtable: Sports Fandom Gone Too Far

Fall is synonymous with football, so consider this your friendly reminder that in addition to your commitment to your favorite team, you also have a job, friends, family and a life. Seriously, whatever your sport of choice, it’s easy to get caught up in your team’s schedule, stats, players and performance. Sports are fun, but is there a way to be a fan without compromising your emotional, relational, financial and even spiritual health? This week we’re hearing from almost-addicts who’ve learned to temper their love for the game with a sense of priority and balance. They’ll talk their favorite teams (and athletes and events), but also strategies for staying grounded in a sports-filled life.         

Guests: Jesse Florea, Jonathan Jenkins, Rachel Pfeiffer

Culture: Dealing With Problems at Work

Workplace relationships can be tough. Even if you work from home and your only coworker is your cat, you still have bosses, vendors, clients and competitors. Most of us would love to be part of a healthy work culture, but what does that entail? How do you handle issues with a fellow employee or client? Should you confront them directly? Get your boss involved? Take it to HR? What’s a strategy for addressing office gossip or sabotage? How can you assert yourself at work without being labeled a jerk? Our panelists are experts in workplace performance and relational dynamics. They’ll share their best tips for winning at work — interpersonally and beyond. 

Guests: Marshonda Dixon, Bryan Gilman, Jenn Scheck
