   S8, Ep 8: Em Stroud - The Power of Play

   Welcome to the WorkJoy Jam, the podcast where we explore the intersection of joy and work. I'm your host, Beth Stallwood, and in this engaging episode, we dive into "The Power of Play" with the vibrant Em Stroud, a corporate clown coach who's turned joyful play into a business revolution. As adults, we often find ourselves shackled by societal expectations that suggest play is solely the realm of children. But what if embracing play could unlock creativity, productivity, and genuine connection in the workplace? In this episode, Em and I unpack the practical benefits of integrating fun into our daily routines, redefining play for the adult world, and the transformative effects it can have not just on individuals, but on organisational culture as a whole. From reimagining meetings with a more active and playful setup to sharing accidental moments of joy through simple acts like out-of-office messages, Em Stroud offers tangible strategies to sprinkle play into our working lives. And, with a reminder that play isn't one-size-fits-all, we'll discuss how finding your unique play style can enrich every aspect of your life. Whether you're someone who thrives on the thrill or a person who finds a deeper connection in quieter activities, this episode will inspire you to craft moments of delight and encourage a cultural shift towards a more playful business environment. Stay tuned as we explore the power of play with Em Stroud and challenge the notion that work and joy are mutually exclusive. Join us on the WorkJoy Jam, where we're jamming on the joy of work, and the work of joy!

   S8, Ep 6: Catherine Garrod - Conscious Inclusion

   Welcome back to the WorkJoy Jam, the podcast that delves deep into the heart of what brings joy and fulfillment at work. I'm your host, Beth Stallwood, and I'm absolutely thrilled for the conversation we have lined up for you today. Today's episode is a real treat and we will be exploring the intricate dance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace with the insightful Catherine Garrod, founder of Compelling Culture and a true pioneer in creating workplaces where everyone can thrive. With a background of leading inclusion for thousands at Sky, Catherine brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective on how to foster an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated, and every voice is heard. In our conversation, we delve into the importance of broadening our own perspectives – be it through diversifying our social media feeds, seeking out different teams, or updating our bookshelves – and how that shapes empathy, approachability, and effectiveness in decision-making. We'll distinguish between the concepts of diversity and inclusion, recognise the importance of moving past mere diversity numbers to truly inclusive cultures, and learn how to strategically equip both underrepresented and overrepresented groups for collective success. Catherine shares invaluable insights from her book "Conscious Inclusion: How to Do EDI, One Decision at a Time." We'll discuss the 99 decisions that can transform our workplaces, and how to employ conscious inclusion to make workplaces safer and unlock potential without increasing burdens. We will talk about the importance of integrating diversity and inclusion into every facet of organisational decision-making, from product design to everyday meetings. And it's not just about the workplace. Catherine's approach transforms relationships and community by recognising commonalities, learning from mistakes - or as she fondly calls them, "whoopsie daisies" - and celebrating progress over perfection. We’ll hear about her monthly newsletter dedicated to the "crown jewels" and "whoopsy daisy" moments in organisational diversity efforts, and her passion for seeing change-makers realise their true impact. So, whether you're a leader striving to improve your organisation's culture, an individual looking to expand your personal awareness, or simply someone who cherishes WorkJoy, this episode is tailored for you.
