Podcasts about Bray

Work is noisy. Slack pings, endless meetings, emails that never stop. But beneath all that activity, many employees feel something deeper, disconnected. In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into a powerful article from Harvard Business Review that reveals a hidden truth: nearly one in five employees feel lonely at work. That loneliness is not just a personal struggle; it is an organizational blind spot. When people feel isolated, creativity wanes, performance declines, and engagement wanes. But here's the good news: leaders can change this. Connection is not about forcing more meetings or filling calendars with “team building.” It is about designing workplaces where belonging is baked into culture, conversations, and even decision-making. Join Dr Bray as he explores why traditional fixes are not enough, how leaders can spot the “connection deficit,” and the practical steps any organization can take to turn disconnection into a competitive advantage.  He also shares the top three ways to build connections that don't require a lot of time to plan. If you lead a team, work in HR, or care about making work a place where people thrive, this episode is for you. Let's talk about how belonging is not a nice-to-have; it is the real driver of performance in today's workplace. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "Being on a team can make people feel even lonelier when the closeness they expect doesn't come to pass." "Build socializing into the rhythm of work." "If employees are constantly working at their maximum capacity... they won't be able to invest time in pivotal interactions that generate trust." "Social activities shouldn't be offered as one-offs — they should be embedded in regular workflows."  

“Asynchronous messaging respects customers' time—and when you meet people where they already are, CSAT, revenue, and retention follow.” — Gareth Bray, Premier CX Gareth Bray, Business Development Director at Premier CX, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss how WhatsApp is becoming an essential business channel worldwide. Premier CX, originally known for IVR audio and FAQ videos, now leads organizations through a “zero to amazing” journey on WhatsApp, helping them design, integrate, and scale conversational experiences. Bray explained why WhatsApp is booming: Global adoption — >90% of consumers in India & Brazil already use it to talk to businesses; Europe and the U.S. are rapidly following. Convenience — Asynchronous messaging beats long hold times and tethered web chats. Trust — WhatsApp sits alongside family and friends, making it highly personal and effective. The results are clear: companies report higher productivity, lower costs, stronger CSAT, and increased sales and retention. Bray shared examples from retail and utilities where WhatsApp journeys cut handle time, empowered customers, and improved outcomes for all parties. Bottom line: Just as websites once became essential, WhatsApp is the next wave of customer engagement—and businesses that delay risk being left behind.

Eithne Ní Chatháin aka Inni-K released her fourth album Still a Day on September 26 via Green Willow Records. She describes it as her most sweeping and emotionally charged work yet, moving with a deeper gravity and startling clarity. Working with producer Seán Mac Erlaine (synths, woodwinds) and Matthew Jacobson (drums, percussion), Eithne wrote the album in the aftermath of a breakup. She says: “Songs help. These songs really helped me - they accompanied me through a very emotionally difficult time. I wrote this album because I needed to more than anything." It is music stocked with experience and steeped in flow, alive with the invisible direction life takes. On this episode of the TPOE podcast, we talk about the evolution of her sound, the influence of traditional Irish music, the creative process behind Still a Day, touring in Germany, the joy of collaboration, and the importance of artistic freedom.

Retiring Without Regrets For decades, we've been told the same story: work hard, save well, and one day retirement will be the reward. But what if stepping away from work feels harder than the job itself? What if freedom comes with a side of restlessness? In this episode, Dr. Bray delves into what truly makes retirement fulfilling and why neuroscience reveals that it's about more than just money or free time. I'll explore the hidden challenges the brain faces when structure, identity, and daily rewards suddenly disappear. And more importantly, I'll share the four practices that help people not just retire, but rewire: alignment with your values, rediscovering yourself beyond the job title, taking charge of your time with agency, and embracing adaptability when life doesn't go as planned. You'll hear stories of people who struggled and those who thrived and learn practical tools to shape a retirement that feels rich with meaning and growth. If you're approaching retirement, in the midst of it, or simply curious about how to build a life you don't want to escape, Dr. Bray will provide you with insights that are both eye-opening and actionable. Please tune in and discover how to retire without regrets and why your brain will thank you for it. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “Retirement isn't the end of the road; it's the beginning of a new journey.”     “Your identity is not in your job title; it's in the lives you touch and the purpose you find.”     “Purpose is the engine that keeps you moving. Without it, even the most luxurious life can feel empty.”

Ever feel like you're carrying bricks in your backpack that no one asked you to carry? Or turning a five-minute task into a half-hour saga of overthinking? You're not alone, and your brain might actually be the culprit. In this episode, Dr. Bray pulls back the curtain on why we over complicate simple things and what neuroscience reveals about it. (Hint: it's not just about dopamine, it's about the way our brain's prediction systems and default mode network keep us stuck in loops of worry and “what ifs.”) You'll learn: Why your brain makes simple things feel hard, and how it thinks it's helping. The hidden costs of overthinking on your energy, creativity, and well-being. Practical tools to stop adding “extra screws” to life and start living with more clarity and ease. If you're ready to stop over-engineering your days and start creating space for simplicity, joy, and focus, this episode is for you. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "The mind is designed for survival, not for peace. To find peace, we must practice it intentionally." "Overcomplicating things gives us the illusion of control, but real control comes from simplicity." "Multitasking is the art of doing everything poorly at once."

BRAY "People rarely leave for just money. They leave when their work stops feeling rewarding, when progress feels impossible, or when every day becomes an energy drain." "The real question is: how do I make staying feel like progress and not stagnation?" "People don't quit companies — they quit environments where their brain feels stressed, stuck, and underutilized."
