РЕКЛАМА
At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…

It came runner-up to 'Supremacy' by Parmy Olson. He explains that humans are inspired by peer codes, human codes and ancestor codes when it comes to their behaviour - and he gives plenty of insight of how we could build more tightly bonded groups in our own teams.

Everywhere we look we see someone who is outraged - and plenty of that anger makes its way to the workplace. The last time President Trump was in power it led to employees becoming more active - who knows if the same will happen in 2025. Karthik Ramanna talks us through the way to deal with outrage - and the actions that any leader can take to make the workplace a better place. His new book is out now.

Sign up for the newsletter Tiffany Gaskell outlines coaching as a route to transformational leadership Tiffany Gaskell is the co-author of Coaching for Performance , the top-selling guide to coaching first published by Sir John Whitmore the inventor of the discipline. It's curious to consider that there was a founder of coaching, and Tiffany takes me through the history of the practice, how it took hold and where it is today. There's a key consideration about the modern manager given to us by the Gallup Global Workplace Report, 80% of those who are engaged with their jobs say they've received direct feedback from their manager in the last week . This is a powerful insight but also poses a huge challenge - how can any of us find the time to observe and then feedback to every worker in our team. Tiffany explains that this is where a culture of coaching comes in, transferring the burden of observation from the manager to facilitating a socratic questioning approach. You can follow Tiffany on LinkedIn and the book is out now . Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/eatsleepworkrepeat . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Owen has worked with some of the most successful sporting sides in the world. He also works with corporate teams wrestling with similar themes.

Buy Belonging Follow Owen on LinkedIn Owen talks me through his step-by-step approach to building better teams - starting with the toughest starter question that most teams never tackle. takeaways Determine whether a team is necessary for the desired outcome Clearly define roles and expectations within the team Recruit talented individuals who can contribute to the team's success Establish effective communication channels within the team Consider the challenges of being part of multiple teams in the corporate world Individuals have a choice in shaping the team's identity and should be selfless and committed to the team's purpose and desired outcome. A high-performing team is one where individuals consistently perform at their best and have a culture of excellence. The environment plays a crucial role in enabling or disabling team success, and teams should create an environment that fosters innovation and energizes individuals.

Sign up for the Make Work Better newsletter How important is a happy workforce? According to Mark Price, the former boss of Waitrose, it's the main thing that leaders should be thinking about. Make your workforce happy and the profits will follow. Mark's new book is Happy Economics . To prove it Mark cites his experience running the supermarket chain, when with a goal of workers happiness he made it the fastest-growing, most profitable supermarket in the UK. The original purpose of the John Lewis Partnership, as laid out by the very same John Lewis , was to uphold the happiness of the people who worked inside the organisation. Mark's new book is Happiness Economics . Mark's book makes the assertion that the quickest way to business success is to focus on creating happy employees. This is genuinely a brilliant listen - and one that you might benefit from reading the transcript of - you can get the transcript here . While I got real value from the book, I actually found the conversation even more enlightening. It challenged some things I believed and I found myself reflecting on it for the day afterwards. I think there’s a clarity in the conversation that the book lacks at times - I think it’s the challenge of books to be honest. We’re so used to ideas being visually backed up that when we’re paging through 200 pages of words the emphasis is often lost. Maybe they work best together. Mark has a clear 6 stage framework for making a happy, productive workforce laid out in his compelling new book Happiness Economics . Reward and recognition Information sharing Empowerment Wellbeing A sense of pride & Job satisfaction Mark's company is WorkL . You can take their surveys and see their data on that link. Key takeaways The happiness of employees is crucial for driving productivity and increasing profits Managers play a vital role in creating a positive work environment and should focus on training, recognition, and coaching Leadership should involve setting a clear plan, making employees feel valued and important, and maintaining optimism about the future. Well-being initiatives should go beyond tokenistic measures and address underlying issues in the work culture. Employee happiness is crucial for workplace culture and productivity. The six key drivers of happiness at work are reward and recognition, empowerment, sense of pride, line management, career development, and job satisfaction. Implementing these drivers effectively can lead to improved well-being, productivity, and business performance. Building a positive culture is essential, and companies should focus on measuring and improving employee happiness. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/eatsleepworkrepeat . Hosted on Acast.

This episode is part of the Presence project: Presence: Fixing culture starts with your calendar, not your office You might think an episode about improv comedy might be a stretch for a podcast about making work better. But in fact as Kelly Leonard explains today the skills of improv comedy are the most important ones that will determine our success at work. Kelly helps to run Second City , the world's famous famous improv comedy club - he believes that improv skills can teach us about what we need in work going forwards. ** TRIGGER WARNING ** includes one brief mention of poetry Check our Kelly's book Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/eatsleepworkrepeat .

This episode is part of the Presence project: Presence: Fixing culture starts with your calendar, not your office In the 2000s a book calle d Fish! A remarkable way to boost morale and improve results became a bestseller. A small book, it was often used by companies accompanying a video of the same name. Together the two told a story of the culture of the fish market in Seattle, a noisy, bombastic place, but a place that was filled with joy. I first encountered Fish when a firm came to pitch to me when I was working in publishing. They told me that their culture was Fish. There are a few things that stood out from it. The idea of intentionally designing culture isn’t new but this seemed to be explicitly linking culture, emotion and mood. There were 4 principles of Fish Play be there make their day choose your attitude Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/eatsleepworkrepeat . Hosted on Acast.

This episode is part of the Presence project: Presence: Fixing culture starts with your calendar, not your office This is the second episode about rituals - the first one is next to it in the podcast feed, it's an interview with Kursat Ozenc about how rituals can be used to create culture. This episode goes into real life examples. Claudia Wallace talks about Crisp Thursday (Connection) Andy Puleston talks about Pizza Meetings (Connection) and Leaving Speeches (Change) Dan Pink talks about Friday Night Experiments (Creativity) Biz Stone talks about Hack Week at Twitter (Creativity) Dr Heidi Edmondson talks about Ten at Ten (Performance) Heidi has a wonderful new book out - Darkness in the City of Light You can also hear the original episodes that each of these extracts came from by click the links above. I have to say that those whole episodes are worth revising. For example, Andy Puleston talks about how effective the culture was at Radio 1 when it was a series of affiliated tribes and he articulates the role that buildings play in shaping cultures. Each episode teaches something special. Andy Puleston is now Director of People & Culture at Circulor, an award winning technology business.

Flow is the state of being in which people become so immersed in the joy of their work or activity “that nothing else seems to matter.” Presence is to be in a flow state of connection with others. Here’s the last discussion about the Happiness Track Sign up for the newsletter Emma’s new book Sovereign HBR: The Best Leaders Have a Contagious Positive Energy HBR: Proof That Positive Work Cultures Are More Productive Today is the first of series of podcasts about an idea that needs more consideration in our workplaces. The idea of presence. Emma Seppala is a psychologist and lecturer at the Yale School of Management – she also runs the Women’s Leadership program there. I first spoke to Emma about 6 years ago when I came across her book the Happiness Track. The hypothesis of that book was in many ways the sweet spot of this podcast: the notion that if you make workers happy then they do their better work. Emma had a new book out this week called Sovereign and it felt like a great reason to have a new conversation. The conversation leads into the next block of podcasts which are all about the idea of presence. Over the last 4 years we’ve seen discourse from CEOs about wanting workers back in the office but in many ways they’re putting things the wrong way wrong. A lot of us find ourselves making our way into work and sitting on video calls all day. Or having headphones on because its so noisy. We got home at the end of the day thinking ‘what was the point of that’. When bosses say they want us to be present in the office, what they actually describe is something different. They talk us about us interacting, having ideas, watercooler moments. Bosses say they want us to be present in the office, but what they really want is presence, for us to be in each others company. For me presence is related to flow Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/eatsleepworkrepeat . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
To receive the newsletter and the forthcoming Presence project sign-up here Today’s top episode goes to the heart of an issue that a lot of people raise with me. They say ‘where do you start when changing a culture’. To some extent it’s what the episode about the hospital trust in Barking was about, going in and changing the culture of a huge organisation. I saw one of today’s guests Darren Ashby speak at an event - talking through the specifics of how his company Business Four Zero tried to change the culture of Tesco. Business Four Zero are one of a group of organisations who work with leaders to change company culture. I know there’s a few of these firms. I attended a dazzling event by one firm called Scarlett Abbot in this field about a month ago. Darren is joined by Atif Sheikh as they talk through the specifics of what they did with firms like Electronic Arts, Aviva and Tesco. They’ve turned some of their work into a book which you can buy here . Some of the things that stood out for me: What’s the number one thing you look for in a high performing culture? How internal are they? How much time are they spending on themselves vs the outside world? Only 28% of workers say they are connected to purpose Culture is what are you committed to as group - emotional commitment of what you want to create Values - before you define your values know that there are 6 core values shared amongst everyone (sometimes called the 6 Pillars of Character - Trust, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship). These should not be your differentiator. These are universal basic expectations. You need to define something differentiating Leaders' role is to bring energy: Satya Nadella told Microsoft’s execs: ‘find the rose petals in the field of sh*t’ So how do you elevate a culture? They introduce 2 or 3 critical behaviours that elevate a culture Might be ‘be kinder’ And they build a process of how you might enact those behaviours For example Intercontinental Hotel Group Had switched from being a hotel owner to a franchise business CEO needed to remove silos What did they need? Too many people in the business didn’t understand how they made money - it made spending decisions hard. So they focussed on ‘think return’ Additionally it had become complacent, so they decided to ‘move fast’ Finally they agreed to ‘talk straight’ with each other Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/eatsleepworkrepeat .
