This show answers listener questions on how, in the workplace, to build trust and credibility, tactfully deal with people who interrupt you when you are trying to focus at work, and help in dealing with people you butt heads with at work.

Learn tips and tricks for how to deal with difficult people. Who are difficult people? They are the passive/aggressive types, bullies, the ones who are always complaining, those who never give their honest opinion …and the list goes on. Are you dealing with any of these at work? If so, this show is a great opportunity for you to get some new insight as to what might be going on and how to neutralize the problem.

Creativity and innovation in the work place is a must. However, creating space for creativity is harder and harder to do as we get caught in the whirlwind of work. Join me as we explore not only how to foster a more creative and innovative work place, but also how you can spark your creative energy as well.

In my work I hear the frustration from both sides: managers struggling with millennial employees, and millennials struggling with their managers…both feeling like they are not getting what they need. This show will dive into this popular topic and explore insights towards building harmony.

Everyone is increasingly grappling with generational differences in their workplace. Join me in this weeks show as we discuss the different mindsets, communications styles and motivations of workers born in different generations.

Giving feedback can either engage others or turn them off. This show will focus on how to give positive and negative feedback that is effective, while nourishing the relationship. During this hour we will also be exploring elements of not only how to engage others but also how to keep yourself engaged at work.

Saying what needs to be said in the workplace can be the kiss of death to your career. Join me as we explore with Roslyn Erickson the right way to speak your truth. Roslyn is the type of person who voices her opinion, many times evoking a lot of controversy or dissent --especially from management. Regardless as being known as the person who can tear any proposal to shreds and her unwillingness to play the “political game”, over time Roslyn has gained credibility and is now recognized as a leader within her organizations as someone who will say what needs to be said. Roslyn is someone who knows how (and when) to speak her truth.

Join Meisha and her guest Sue McNab, as they explore the primary elements for creating a workplace culture of inclusion and ownership. Sue, a veteran VP, has helped organizations, such as Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee, maneuver through major change initiatives. Recently Sue helped turn the culture at Pemco Insurance from a hierarchal parent culture - follow the rules and do what management says - to a culture of involvement and inclusion - everyone is involved and responsible for taking ownership of their role. Join Sue and I as we explore how anyone can create a wining workplace culture where individuals are inspired to be in service to one another.

Kathleen O'Brien, author of Emerge: A Strategic Leadership Model For The Sustainable Building Community, discusses with Meisha the most important aspect, that many overlook, in order to identify and change the habitual story that is key to invoking change. This engaging interview also shares the 6-Stages to Change everyone needs to understand.
