#throwbackthursday S05 EP02 | “Don't Be a Dick When it Comes to The Diary" (Having a Good 1-2-1) ⬇️ 🙃 The 1-2-1. The term has the ability to make us all feel uncomfortable and trigger a sense of dread. Similar to the word ‘feedback.’  But this is wrong and shouldn't be the case. The 1-2-1 is simply a conversation - an opportunity to take time to connect - so it should be positive and beneficial. What's getting in the way? Our listeners the CBB’s, have asked if we can discuss this and share our ideas and recommendations, which we did! 💚 In this episode you will learn: 👥 We're stripping it right back to basics - what is a 1-2-1? 👥 What the purpose of a 1-2-1 is 👥 Why they are important 👥 We debate whose responsibility they are; who determines their success 👥 We offer our ideas and pose some questions for you to ask yourself to improve your current 1-2-1's - those you are hosting and those you are personally experiencing with your manager 💚 Plus we offer our top tips and there is a cracking bulls**t bingo!

Can you really achieve work life balance?! We discuss in this weeks new episode of THE COACHING CAST podcast. Our listeners - our CBB’s - told us that they wanted to learn more about how to achieve a work life balance, so in this episode, we attempt to offer our best recommendations and advice for achieving just that.  I purposefully state ‘attempt’ because we are only human too and balancing work and life, with all it’s up’s, down’s and surprises, is not a skill that we can claim to have perfected. Not yet anyway! What we do offer in this episode is our honest experiences of juggling all that life has, and continues to throw at us, and what has worked for us to enable us to achieve what we want both in our work lives, and our personal lives.   In this episode you will learn: 💚 What polyamorous means…!  💚 What we have been up to in our week 💚 Our interpretation of what a good work life balance looks like 💚 What works for us 💚 What doesn’t work for us 💚 Our recommendations for achieving a good work life balance that you can try for yourselves Listen to the episode across all major platforms including Spotify, Apple, and Google and watch the recording on YouTube by searching The Coaching Cast.

“BFF Friendship Bracelets for Everyone!” (Friendships at Work) 💜⬇️🎧 Let me tell you a story. When we were planning this season of THE COACHING CAST podcast Lisa Robyn Wood and I debated on whether we should record an episode about friendships at work. But the more we thought about it, the more we realised how important our friendships at work are - and how many of our greatest friendships have been born at work - including the reason this podcast even exists; my special friendship with Lisa. So this podcast episode is dedicated to all our amazing and special friendships that have grown at work! Some of which still exist today, some of which have naturally faded away and yet have developed us both as people and some of which are yet to come! 💚 In this episode you will learn: 🤗 Why friendships at work are important 🤗 How to develop meaningful, effective friendships 🤗 Addressing the challenge of building friendships remotely 🤗 Growing friendships when you work alone 🤗 Lisa shares another workplace shame story …!  💚 And we have our usual bulls**t bingo!
