Podcast Overview

Most of us have to work for a living. And many of us work for at least 8 hours a day and at least 5 days a week. That's a lot of time in our lives to invest in anything, particularly if we're unhappy, bored or unfulfilled. So this podcast is all about work - Why we work, how we work, what makes a great job, what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better.

Viv Leinster is a People, Culture and Transformation leader who we've all worked with, and yet has somehow never appeared on this podcast before.</p> <p>We chat about the impact that AI applications, particularly Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, are having on the workplace, some of our personal experiences of using them and our hopes, our concerns and our expectations for the future.</p> <p>If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please rate our podcast and leave reviews in places like Apple Podcasts and Podchaser.

Starting All Over Again

<p>Richard and Nicola return with an episode about how to tackle a new job. We catch up with what's been happening with Nicola in her new role and how much of what she had planned came to pass. And Richard chips in with some observations about new jobs he's had.</p> <p>Then we talk more generally about starting out somewhere new - what to look out for and how to make it a good experience for you and your new colleagues. We discuss the opportunities for reinvention, what that can do for us and whether we can reinvent or relaunch ourselves even if we stay in the same place. And we ask why it is that so many of the things that are roughly the same in any organisation are handled so differently.</p> <p>If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please rate our podcast and leave reviews in places like Apple Podcasts and Podchaser.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

<p>Emily is leaving. So Nicola has joined the podcast. But she's leaving too, in a way. We're back with an episode all about making changes and moving on. And we'll temper the thrill of making and seizing opportunities that take us away from what we know, with the knowledge that sometimes it's worth hanging on to what you already have. We have a wide ranging discussion about the value of new starts, why you might want to stay somewhere for longer and how to weigh up our options. We say goodbye to Emily who helped to devise our format, and has been a huge part of its success. And we say hello to Nicola, who's been a strong supporter since the start. And, never one to miss an opportunity to hit you over the head with a metaphor, Richard uses his favourite TV programme to illustrate the point by recreating a famous "regeneration" scene. If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please rate our podcast and leave reviews in places like Apple Podcasts and Podchaser. Also tell your family, tell your friends, tell your colleagues and random strangers in the street. But if you didn’t like it, don’t tell a soul.
