The Great Work Podcast

Worried you're not mentally quite as sharp as you used to be? You're probably functioning at a higher level than you were back then.

A new perspective on the imposter phenomenon—and an answer from feminism, cognitive psychology, and David Hume.

One small thing you can do to make your next week better, more productive, and more enjoyable. Also: a TV show recommendation. And: introducing the Great Work chat on Substack.

How's everyone doing? A five-minute habit to revitalise your team.

On being an introvert or an extrovert at work, and switching off email notifications.

On the imposter phenomenon, and how not to care. (Originally a written article — catching up with audio versions.)

Do you make it easy for people to give you feedback? If you don't, you're missing out on a precious gift for improving your working life from the people who are probably best placed to help with that. In this episode I consider how we unintentionally signal we don't want feedback — and how to change that.

Strategies for getting through a tough week at work

Worrying you've screwed something up — and what to do about it. Also: work less hard and get more done (a summary of a previous podcast); Work B******t Corner; and a book recommendation.

The mistake of many a struggling team — if it's not the right time to make changes to how you work, the right time may never come.
