Fundamental to developing good people skills is empathy. It is said that in a social business, the so-called “people skills” will be the difference that makes the difference. In this podcast, we discuss empathy and role reversal. Role reversal is a head-heart-body technique that John uses in his work and which allows people to have a deep experience of standing in someone else’s shoes so that people can have a deeper understanding of others.

Is there a “Planet Social Business”, and if so, what is it like? And can you go there too?

We discuss the work of Wilfred Bion, whose descriptions of “what goes on underneath” can help shed some light on some of the mystifying dynamics within groups of human beings.

We talk about the “dumb things” people do, or need to do, at work. And how, if at all, you can start the change and re-imagine the way you work.

This episode is all about introductions, about the podcast and ourselves.

The title is explained, which is not chosen by pure chance, also what we want to achieve with this podcast. In short, we want to learn as much as we can, and talking about the subjects we find relevant we can do this.

We’ll also invite guests, people who know much more about a certain topic than we do.
