📣 Audiem has been nominated for three IWFM 2024 Impact Awards, two in partnership with NatWest. Read the success story here⚡️

Today's show features journalist, TV presenter and author Rebecca Seal discussing her recent book, Solo: How To Work Alone (and Not Lose Your Mind). It's a discussion of two halves, where Chris and Ian first explore the process of researching and writing the book with Rebecca, then the impact of the pandemic on solo working. James returns from his Cumbrian adventures for a long overdue PinderPonder

We can think about 'solo' in terms of work (how you earn a living) and working (when you're working away from other people). Whilst Rebecca's tribe are soloists in the work sense, much of the book's research and advice has huge relevance to working  for all of us, especially post-COVID, including (but not limited to) personal performance, purpose, motivation, resilience and recovery.

Transcript: 

 Before we go back to the episode, a quick word about Audium. When people think about workplace feedback, they tend to think about surveys, but some of the richest workplace insight is often hiding in places organizations rarely look. Take FM helpdesk tickets. Every day, employees leave thousands of comments about buildings, technology, catering, cleaning, temperature, meeting rooms, and dozens of other workplace issues. Individually, they're just tickets
