Podcasts about healthy workplace

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The power of your personal brand lies not in your own perception of what it is, but in how consistently and authentically others experience you. It exists in the world around you.   Trust takes time to build and telling your stories consistently, frequently and over time, not only gives us personal gravitas and authenticity, it allows others to remember what we stand for, where we fit in their world, and what we can be counted on for. In other words, it starts with you.   The seven lenses explored—Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, and Healthy Planet—are reaffirmed as interconnected ecosystems that create profound, often unforeseen impacts.   Expanding your influence from building brand you to building beyond you - into a "constellation of thinking and learning" - allows you to contribute much more meaningfully to the greater good.   Directing your privilege to forge new spaces for inclusion and collective leadership holds you responsible for pushing against conventional methods and helping those with less advantage.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

In unserem aktuellen Podcast mit Prof. Dr. Bettina Zweck beschäftigen wir uns mit der zentralen Frage, ob Führungskräfte ihr Team zu Wachstum befähigen – oder dessen Potenzial unbewusst ersticken. Zweck zeigt eindrücklich, dass Führung ein zweischneidiges Schwert sein kann: Sie kann Mitarbeitende zum Aufblühen bringen oder ihre Kreativität und Motivation unterdrücken. Entscheidend ist, ob Führung achtsam gestaltet wird.Achtsame Führung bedeutet für Zweck nicht Nettigkeit oder Wellness, sondern die bewusste Verantwortung, Mitarbeitenden den nötigen Handlungsspielraum zu geben, damit sie sich entfalten können. Das Job-Demand-Control-Modell bestätigt diese Perspektive: Menschen kommen mit hohen Anforderungen besser zurecht, wenn sie gleichzeitig Einflussmöglichkeiten besitzen. Dabei haben Mitarbeitende jedoch unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse – manche arbeiten am liebsten mit klaren Strukturen und Routine, während andere kreative Freiheit benötigen. Die Aufgabe der Führungskraft besteht deshalb darin, den passenden „Fit“ zwischen Person und Aufgabe herzustellen.Zweck betont, dass dies bereits bei der Personalauswahl beginnt. Strukturierte Interviews und Persönlichkeitstests können helfen, herauszufinden, wie viel Verantwortung, Autonomie oder Führung ein Mensch braucht. Fragen wie „Wie viel Handlungsspielraum wünschen Sie sich?“ oder „Welche Arbeitsumgebung unterstützt Sie am besten?“ sind dabei essenziell.Im Podcast wird außerdem der aktuelle Zustand der Führungskultur beleuchtet. Während moderne, agile Unternehmen bereits auf Offenheit und psychologische Sicherheit setzen, arbeiten andere noch in starren, hierarchischen Strukturen. Zweck warnt insbesondere vor destruktiven Führungsstilen, die von Narzissmus, Machiavellismus oder Psychopathie geprägt sind – der sogenannten „dunklen Triade“.Sie macht deutlich, dass eine gute Führungskraft ein Umfeld schafft, in dem Mitarbeitende Fehler machen dürfen, ohne Angst vor Abwertung zu haben. Psychologische Sicherheit ist die Grundlage dafür, dass Menschen wachsen, mutig handeln und ihr Potenzial entfalten können. Achtsame Führung ist deshalb kein Trend, sondern eine unternehmerische Notwendigkeit, die langfristigen Erfolg sichert.Unternehmen profitieren von einer Kultur, die Mitarbeitende stärkt, ihre individuellen Bedürfnisse berücksichtigt und ihnen erlaubt, Verantwortung zu übernehmen. So entsteht ein Umfeld, in dem Menschen aufblühen – nicht, weil sie müssen, sondern weil sie können.

Many business leaders think that a healthy workplace culture is important, but they don't always know what it takes to have one. Some companies may simply restate their values at every annual meeting and call it a day. Others may not know what their culture looks like at all. Improving the health of your workplace isn't a one-and-done thing—for as long as your company remains open, learning what is and isn't working must be an ongoing process.    Business counselor Kristen Prinz is joined by Michelle Aronson, founder of Culture + Strategy Lab and host of the True Stories at Work podcast, to dive into what it really takes to bring your workplace culture to life. By sharing real scenarios that business clients have navigated, our hosts provide insight into the link between the strength of a company's culture and its response when something goes wrong.    Michelle and Kristen explore:    ·       Whether culture can be measured accurately with quantitative metrics  ·       The responsibilities that both leadership and employees have in creating company culture  ·       The root causes of most culture issues  ·       The link between employee engagement and customer engagement  ·       How our personal biases cloud our ability to assess claims of workplace harassment  ·       What companies with the strongest cultures are doing to invest in their health    If you're aware of problems that exist in your work environment and aren't sure how to respond—or if you want to learn how to identify problems before they arise—this episode will be well worth the listen.    About Michelle Aronson   Michelle Aronson is a recovering HR executive, executive coach, and business school professor turned founder of Culture + Strategy Lab. She helps growing companies turn culture into a competitive advantage—using real strategy, not fluff.    Michelle once managed both employee and customer experience (a.k.a. half of the CEO's bonus) and learned firsthand how to uncover the invisible forces shaping culture and driving results. Today, she designs custom, measurable strategies that align leadership, culture, and business outcomes.    She also hosts True Stories at Work—a podcast sharing the best leadership stories you've never heard, from hilarious to heartbreaking, plus a few workplace confessions.    Stay Connected and Learn More  Connect with Michelle on LinkedIn  Check out Culture + Strategy Lab Kristen Prinz Culture audits at The Prinz Law Firm

“Culture matters because people matter." —Jay Doran   Is your company culture silently working against you? You can have the best strategy, a killer product, and all the right hires—but if your culture is off, everything feels harder than it should be. You can't fake a healthy work environment, and deep down, your team knows when things feel transactional, unsafe, or hollow. If you've ever wondered why great people leave or why momentum stalls even when the numbers look good, this episode will hit home. Jay Doran is a culture consultant, speaker, and founder of Culture Matters. He's spent over a decade studying the invisible forces that shape how people show up, lead, and build inside organizations. From interviewing thought leaders to coaching companies on their “cultural DNA,” Jay brings a sharp lens and real-world insight into what it actually takes to create an environment where people thrive—and why most leaders get it wrong.

In this episode, Dr. Paul White, an expert in workplace relationships and employee appreciation, sheds light on toxic workplaces and the importance of recognition. Here are the key lessons and insights from their conversation:1. Toxic workplaces have three key components: A sick system, a toxic leader, and dysfunctional colleagues. Understanding these elements is crucial for identifying and addressing toxicity in the workplace.2. Recognition and appreciation are essential for creating a healthy work environment: Despite the prevalence of employee recognition programs, many individuals still do not receive the appreciation they deserve. Leaders and organizations need to be more intentional and effective in showing their employees that they are valued.3. Acts of service can be a powerful form of appreciation: Small actions, such as answering emails, delegating tasks, or assisting with clerical work, can make a significant impact on colleagues or employees. Understanding the languages of appreciation helps to ensure that the right actions are taken to make others feel valued.4. Appropriate physical touch to show appreciation: High fives or pats on the back, can be a spontaneous form of celebration in the workplace: However, different cultures have varying levels of comfort with physical touch, and it is crucial to respect individual boundaries. The recipient of touch determines what is appropriate.5. Gifts in the workplace should be thoughtful and personalized: Instead of generic gifts, taking the time to understand an individual's interests and preferences can make the gift more impactful. It's not about how much money you spend, but about the thought and effort put into the gift.Learn More: - Visit The Few With Boo website to find additional resources, related episodes, and more valuable content from Dr. White [Link to the Few website episode page] Connect with Dr. Paul White:  - Official Website: https://drpaulwhite.com/- Social Media: LinkedIn , Twitter - Book: Learn how to improve job satisfaction, create more positive relationships between managers and employees, and decrease burnout rates.
