The Right Questions

What Do I Do When A Colleague Is Driving Me Crazy?


Listen Later

We’re celebrating! One year ago, we decided to start this exciting journey in the podcasting world, and we couldn't be happier with the experiences it's offered us. We've learned a ton along the way about podcasting, collaborative creative work, and, most importantly, about ourselves and how we interact with others. We are eternally grateful for the possibility of adding value to your lives with each podcast we create, and today’s episode won't be any different.


In this episode, we use our experience of creating and producing the bi-weekly The Right Questions Podcast and our 10+ years of working together to answer a question that each of us wrestles with, What Can I Do When A Colleague Is Driving Me Crazy? We explore some of the challenges we faced in the process of putting this project together, how we discussed, navigated, and ultimately solved these issues, and what we've learned about ourselves through it all. We also offer insight into the communication and negotiations surrounding creative endeavors, tips for successfully navigating those tense conversations, and the critical roles that listening, emotional intelligence, transparency, and clarity play in the situation.
