- 61. Conflicts at work
New week new topic! This time, we are talking about conflict in the workplace. Is it conducive to a team's success, or detrimental to the general vibes at a workplace? We go through some basic research about work conflicts and differentiate between relationship conflicts and task conflicts, and how they can have different impacts on a team's performance. As the two of us work in very different environments, Amanda at a start up and Roos at a very corporate law firm, conflicts arise in different ways which we discuss too.

37 min - 57. We are bad at setting goals
With the amount of thinking and talking about our lifes that we do (and that we expose you to...) it is easy to believe that we have a clear multi-year plan and concrete goals to get to whatever destination it is we have in mind. And yet... goal setting is not something that comes natural to us. Corporate goals, however? Easy! Hit us with those kpi's and we'll run with them.
In this new theme we will discuss how to actually arrive at a vision for which you can create concrete goals. No, we will not dive into all the frameworks available to achieve your goals and make changes to your day-to-day, but we want to focus on the step prior. During the next episodes, we will have a guest who is a pro at setting goals, and who lives her life oriented around them. We also invite a life coach to figure out why we struggle so much to look further than next week!
But, in this intro episode we discuss our own relation to goal setting, look at some research around the topic, and even read a poem!

32 min - 55. We are the children of the immigrants - Fatima Essaidi
In the third episode of our theme on how our background influences our life choices we invited Fatima Essaidi. Fatima is the author of the book "we are the children of immigrants" in which she, together with her 22 co-authors, shares her story about growing up between two cultures. She shares the story of her own parents with us, as well as patterns and behaviors she recognizes in herself that have shaped both her personality and her life choices.

38 min - 54. Our career choices start already in preschool
We continue to explore how our upbringing influence our life choices and career paths. Today we have a super interesting guest to talk about how educational choices start already in preschool. Tove Klaesson is doing her PhD on the topic of educational inequalities and the role of preschool. We talk about segregation and how that affects how children grow up to see the world and the possibilities.

28 min - 53. Upbringing and background influence your life choices
After (a very long) summer vacation with episodes being a little all over the place, we are back with our theme based episodes! We're kicking it of on the topic of how your upbringing and background affect your life choices. As we have been very active in advocating for women in STEM, we have looked at our field, and what brings people there/keeps them out through a rather gender coloured lens. In the next few episodes, we want to discover questions such as how does your cultural background influence your choices, what role does family play in your career and what role do bias and prejudice play in your direction in life. In this intro episode we dive into a few studies, give our own take on some of the findings and set the tone for the episodes to come.

37 min - 52. Roos' week in a buddhist monastery
Roos is back from the monastery and we (Amanda and you) of course have a lot of questions. Why did she go back after 10 years? Was it as she had expected it to be? Do you have to be spiritual to do such a thing?
We also talk about spirituality in our own lives and how it has played an important role in form of religion growing up. Tag along!
