  • Ep#90 no not Stickies
    Join Greg and Allister in a session about the use of technology, gimmicks, tricks, or things in facilitating conversations (sometimes it is the use of stickies). We have all been in those sessions where the newest thing or technique is used to make the event happen. Most often things go ok....but sometimes it is a big miss...and a mess!

  • Ep#89 the Pronouncement
    The new idea has arrived...maybe with a new Manager. Lots of hype and maybe not enough thought? Join Greg and Allister as they discuss the approach and impact of grandiose ideas, and the people that bring them. Greg confesses to being that guy once or twice and Allister gets labeled a party pooper/planner. Who are you and do you do this? Or are you the character the ignores the whole thing and waits it out till the next manager arrives?

  • Ep#86 the Lost
    Are you one of the people who get lost in all the changes, fuss, or busy nature of the organization? New people, new approaches, people leaving, people being walked out, managers who don’t know their People or just the craziness all play a part in estranging segments of our organization. Greg and Allister have a good long talk, from their new home at Staples Studio-Oakville, about the people that are or feel lost. Many of these people are so important, but we might not realize how talented, necessary, knowledgeable, and essential they are to the teams they serve.

  • Ep#84 Offices
    Join Greg and Allister as they delve into the topic of Offices as the RETURN begins to take place for many people. The crew goes back and forth on whether it is important to them but with the conclusion that it does matter....and probably with many others as well. Listen to our hosts share all sorts of stories as they work through maybe not the answers but certainly the questions involved.
    This is the second episode the crew has recorded in person. Thanks to our hosts at Staples Studio-Oakville. It has been great getting back together to chat.
