The Unlearning Curve

In this episode Dr. Kate Jenkinson explores poetry and neurodiversity in the workplace. Kate shares her personal neurodiversity journey and explores how poetry and play help us access the creative side of our brain. This is significant because it enables us to build better connection with others, empathise and develop trust, innovate and solve problems.

This conversation with Nick Pearson reveals critical insights into the state of workplace health and wellbeing. Nick advocates for a more collaborative approach, akin to that of the Netherlands, where health professionals, employers, and employees work together to address health issues proactively. This model focuses on rehabilitation and support rather than waiting for individuals to become completely incapacitated before intervening. Nick argues that as businesses look to the future, prioritising employee health should be seen not just as a responsibility, but as a fundamental investment in productivity and success.

During this episode I talk Dr Jeanne Hardacre, author of The Culture Trap. Jeanne's book explores HUMAN ways to improve influence, relationships and culture at work. It is packed with practical actions each and every one of us can apply. I invited Jeanne to record this episode because her book resonated so much with me. Many books on this subject simply observe the characteristics of great places to work and the business benefits. The Culture Trap offers practical steps every member of an organisation can contribute to improve collaboration, influence effectively, grow trust and enhance accountability, creating healthier, compassionate and innovative places of work.

In this chat with Charlotte Axon and Rob Baker from Tailored Thinking, we’re diving into the idea of job crafting. We’re exploring how personalising everything is becoming more common and the benefits of personalising work. We look at how allowing people to tweak their jobs a bit to suit their skills and interests can make a difference to engagement, well-being and productivity. The focus of our conversation is three key areas: tasks, relationships and career development.
