Generosity has some great emotions. And humans are emotional beings. The way you use yours can dictate the health of your work experience. No one wants to be overwhelmed by their emotions and it's also not good to suppress them completely. So how you do you handle them well on the job? You identify the good ones and lean in. I have some thoughts to share with you about how powerful certain emotions can be for building a healthy work experience, and of course, generous culture. Have an emotionally generous rest of your week.

Confidence is great. Arrogance sucks. I've never found two things so different yet so miscast as each other so often. We can all agree that confidence is an important thing to have in business. It's what makes you believe that things can get and done and that you'll make a positive impact on the world. Arrogance is that thing that turns people off even to the most confident. In fact, in can take down a even the strongest pillars of belief. I urge you to focus on doing things that build confidence and not arrogance in people. The environment that you create matters. Have a generous rest of your week.

Employee turnover sucks. But it doesn't have to…in fact, it doesn't even have to be a thing. I like to think of it as opportunities for all parties. When someone leaves: That person gets a chance to be in a different and better position. A new person gets a chance in the vacant role. The company gets a new perspective. I'm not saying there aren't some bad things but I am saying that it can be good. Either way, you don't want a lot of people leaving and new people coming in faster than they can be trainined. This is why a generous workplace culture is so valuable. It will retain great people and attract them if needed. This episode will address the reasons (the real ones) people leave your company. Have a generous rest of your week.

There's nothing like family - good or bad. Families can have the best of time and the worst of times because they are groups of people who are highly invested in each other. We are a lot about our family. You also care a lot about your work - hopefully, not more than your family but still. It's a big part of life. So, how is this to be handled? A lot of sources these days will say it's toxic to refer to work people as “family”. I tend to agree. However, it's good to treat people like family. Bad bosses will expect you to bend over backwards for the company because that is what family does. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your wellbeing for the “family”. But what if leaders thought more about their work family like most people think of their real family? Think about supporting people as healthy people first and they'll be sure to give a healthy amount of effort to your company. It will attract and retain top talent.

Send us a textWelcome back to Math Chat! Today's episode is all about how we can break free from the script and let our students lead. Today's episode is going to require a shift in teacher mindset. So, if you are like me and a bit of a control freak, Type A if you will… then I'm talking to you. Letting go of control can actually help students learn more in math. I know it's hard, but it is essential to day's big idea. We are chatting about: What student-centered learning in math isWhy this approach to teaching math worksHow to do this and do it wellLinks mentioned in this episode:

The money is nice but it won't give them want they want. I've worked closely with money for 15 years. It's hard to believe I studies broadcasting two decades ago. I hope it makes me a better podcaster but what about financial planner? Here me out… I can count on one hand the amount of people (out of thousands I worked with) who's final goal was a number in their bank account. 99.9% people had another desire in their life. This tells me how important it is to help people find fulfillment in their work - more important that financial riches. The money is table stakes. Pay people what they are worth - but after that, there's a lot of work to do to build a generous culture of which people want to be a part. Have a generous rest of your week.

Send us a textIf you've ever seen the spark in a student's eyes when they really get the joy of solving a tough problem, you know what I mean when I say math can be joyful. It's all about creating the right environment.Today, Pi day, we're serving up a slice of math joy by diving into how we can make problem-solving the most joyful part of our math classrooms.We are chatting about: What makes problem solving joyfulWhy use problem solving in math classHow can we create joyful problem-solving in our classroomsLinks mentioned in this episode:

Turnover can be good. It can also be bad. You have to be careful how to initiate, prevent, and handle it. I find that the best companies do all of these well. There are a lot of things you can do to affect change in your organization so it's best to focus on individual situations. This episode is about when and where to push and pull. Ask yourself the question, “Who does this turnover benefit and who does it hurt?”, before making any decisions. Turnovers in sports are bad for one team and good for the other. It can be the same way for different people on your team. Have a generous rest of your week.

Negotiations can be generous - for real. I'm not saying it's easy but they can be. The more there are the better. There are a lot of things in life and business that you'll have to negotiate. You know that pit in your stomach you feel when you have to negotiate, even argue, about something? It's a lousy feeling but it can be avoided with the right concentration. I think about 7 things every time I go into a negotiation. They are all “P” words. This episode covers each of these things and will teach you how to focus on them to be a better negotiator. This is not tips, tricks, and hacks of how to win your negotiations. It's to help you generate better outcomes for you and those you negotiate with in your work. Have a generous rest of your week.

Yes, this episode is about “no”. This is one of the first words we all learn. It serves so many different purposes when all you can do is indicate what you want and don't want. Things change as you mature, though. “No” begins to have more specific applications. It can indicate, interest, capability, desire, understanding, and many more things. It means a lot in work place culture. If you're trying to build a generous workplace culture, you have to understand how the word “no” can do so many things for your role and those around you. Using it well can keep things respectful, relatable, real, and organized. Use it wrong and things can get negative pretty quick. I try to make “no” a consistent part of work these days. I think you'll understand why after listening to the episode. Have a generous rest of your week.

Everyone can affect culture. I'm not saying that every can make culture or build it on their own. But everyone can make a difference. In fact, I encourage everyone to try to. The strongest cultures are led by all. Leadership or certain individuals can set a tone but the more than contribute the better. Sometimes, the best experiences come when someone who is not a leader in title displays some excellent cultural leadership in their given role. I learned this pretty early in my business career and have always felt it it's important to encourage those who may not feel capable of contributing. This episode is an encouragement to you, no matter your role, job, or career path. You can do great things for your teammates. Have a generous rest of your week.

When you treat people well matters the most. I'm consistently surprised how companies only celebrate people when they're at their best. What kind of message does that send? “We only like you when you to something extraordinary.” I don't think that's the idea you want you're people to get. You want them to feel more valuable. They should feel good about their work even if it's a rough day. They should feel safe taking a day off if something is not right at home. Some companies have an “unlimited time off” policy. That's great but do people feel ok actaully taking it? Focus on appreciating people in all scenarios. I have some help for you to do this. Have a great rest of your week.

Work isn't always enjoyable but it can be better. I know a lot of workplaces can be a drag. You dread Monday morning and look forward to Friday afternoon like nothing else. It's not healthy. Work can and should enjoyable overall. I don't mean every moment but it has to be a net positive or else it will never last. Productivity will wane and fulfillment will never come. The best organizations make work enjoyable and fulfilling. People do more than stick around - they stay with intention and attract other people. This is the environment you want. I have 11 things for you to help make your workplace more enjoyable for all. Have an enjoyable rest of your week.

Your mission, vision, and values should be generous. These three things are critical tools for a business. I can't minimize whatsoever but I would like to stress the importance that generosity has on them. If you want to build great culture you should start as early as possible. Generosity is a key point to include in these items that lead a company. You're “why”, “what”, and “how” will go a long what if they have undertones of giving. This episode highlights some reasons why the big three are important but it stresses the importance of the big one. Listen in for insights on how to incorporate generosity in the drivers of your company. Have a generous rest of your week.

Generosity is a mindset - not an event. A generous workplace culture is a hard thing to build. I won't sugar coat. Great leaders have to work hard at fostering the right environment. What's easy usually builds the wrong environment. And speaking of easy, I could give you a bunch of red flags of what is a toxic leader or workplace culture. Instead, I thought I'd present some green flags - positive things. You'll love these things in a leader and if you are one yourself, try to implement them into your processes. Have a generous week.

Some things are absolutely non-negotiable. Today, I have the 5 that lead the list. Some of these are talked about all the time and I fear you're being taught they are special. To me, they are table stakes. They must be present in workplace culture for it be generous. You'll want to focus on the foundations before you try the advanced versions of anything. It takes time to build culture and you have to start with kindness, communication, authenticity, grace, and compassion. Thanks for being a generous person. I'm sure your generous culture is well on its way to thriving. Have a generous New Year.

My DMs and inbox have been flooded with the same question lately…What is it going to take for private practices to thrive (and not just survive) in 2025?I've noticed many private practice owners in our community are working great hours, making great money, and enjoying freedom to spend time with their families.

2024 was a wild ride. 2025 will be even better. Generosity is on the move.

Stop trying to be happy. Joy is so much more important. A state of joy is such a powerful thing because it is sustainable. I am a fan of happiness - just not as pursuit. You can't expect to happy all the time so you are setting yourself up for failure and an unfulfilling pursuit. The holiday season is known for being filled with joy but there is one thing I don't like about this - these things don't have to be saved for a one time during the year. You can celebrate and be joyful all year long. I find that the more often you are in a state of joy the more chances you have to experience happiness. You are acutely aware of things that will make you happy. You also tend to make other people happy, which in turn, makes you happy. It's a great loop to be. I thought I'd share some “holiday” joys that really don't have to be saved for only December. Have a joyous and generous holiday season.

Generosity is necessary for team success. I like to think of it as the foundation of a terrific culture because it's so encouraging to people. Anyone can jump on board and feel like they are important - contributing factor to the productivity and the encouragement. There's nothing more encouraging than encouraging someone, right? This episode is about the most important reasons why a generous team is a winning team. I think you can have some periodic success without winning but the definition will likely be warped and it will be fleeting. Sustained success is about everyone's workplace experience. Don't let me define it for you but this is at least a good measure. Rarely is a team filled with fulfilled people and be not effective at it's mission. Keep these concepts in mind as you build your generous workplace culture and let your team know about it. Have a generous day with your team.

Empathy is way more than knowing what someone is going through. It's about sharing the emotions they are feeling. An empathetic leaders goes out of their way to feel what their people are feeling. Are you sympathetic with your people? Great. Empathy is more. I thought I'd share a few things that can help you be more empathetic. They build on relationships and taking simple understanding to shared feeling. Use them early and often in your work. It's critical part of a generous workplace culture. Have a generously energetic day.

Today I talk about Irish food, food history and identity with Michelin-starred chef Jp McMahon. Jp is the culinary director of the EatGalway Restaurant Group and runs the restaurant Aniar in Galway, Ireland. He's the founding chair and director of the Galway Food Festival, Jp is an ambassador for Irish food. He has written several books including the excellent Irish Cook Book published by Phaidon. However, the subject of our discussion was his new book, An Irish Food Story: 100 Foods That Made Us, published by Nine Bean Rows, which delved into Irish food identity, traditions and history. We talked about food in Ireland versus Irish food, oysters and stout, the deliciousness of seaweed, Irish stew and dulse-flavoured croissants – plus many other things.If you can, support the podcast and blogs by becoming a £3 monthly subscriber, and unlock lots of premium content, or treat me to a one-off virtual pint or coffee: click here.Find Jp on Instagram: @mistereatgalwayAnair websiteAn Irish Food Story: 100 Foods That Made UsThe Irish Cook Book An Alphabet of AnairThings mentioned in today's episodeThe Great Cream Tea Debate on YouTubeBBC Countryfile magazine websiteNeil's blog post and recipe for Bakewell puddingUpcoming events:Find out about upcoming events on the website here.Neil's blogs:‘British Food: a History' ‘Neil Cooks Grigson' Neil's books:Before Mrs Beeton: Elizabeth Raffald, England's Most Influential HousekeeperA Dark History of Sugar Knead to Know: a History of BakingThe Philosophy of PuddingsDon't forget, there will be postbag episodes in the future, so if you have any questions or queries about today's episode, or indeed any episode, or have a question about the history of British food please email me at neil@britishfoodhistory.com, or on twitter and BlueSky @neilbuttery, or Instagram and Threads dr_neil_buttery.

Instead of trying to find more energy, try making the most of what you already have. Energy is one of those things that can feel great one minute and be elusive the next. I find the most energetic people to not have more than the rest but to do a better job with what they have. This time of year can be overwhelming for many. There is more work to do as the year comes to an end and there are events, parties, and other things that take up time. It's really important to manage your energy to get the most out of the most wonderful time. I have 7 energy management techniques I've found to be really helpful for generous leaders and their generous workplace cultures. Have a generously energetic day.

It's December, Advent has begun, and we can officially start discussing Christmas so I have put together an episode about turkey that is very much of two halves. There's an interview with Tom Copas, a turkey farmer who really looks after his flock: slow-grown, high welfare, and I have bought many a turkey from him over the years. Before that, I have prepared a little bit on the history of the turkey in Britain, spanning from Tudor times to the 20th century where it went from regal food to Christmas Day staple. Tom and I talked about farming family history, the intricacies of turkey farming, when the term ‘free-range' is misleading, cooking tips and turkey crackling: amongst many other things.If you can, support the podcast and blogs by becoming a £3 monthly subscriber, and unlock lots of premium content, or treat me to a one-off virtual pint or coffee: click here.Order your Christmas turkey from the Copas Farm shopFind Copas Turkeys on social media: Twitter/X @CopasTurkeys; Insta: @copasfarmshop or @tomcopasPodcast episodes pertinent to today's episode:Christmas Feasting with Annie GrayTudor Cooking & Cuisine with Brigitte WebsterTurkey history references:At Christmas We Feast: Festive Food Through the Ages (2021) Annie GrayEating with the Tudors: Food and Recipes (2023) Brigitte WebsterThe Good Housewife's Jewel (1596) Thomas DawsonThe Compleat Cook (1662) W.

Great quotes can't motivate you alone but they can be a great reminder of your purpose. I'm a big fan of taking in the wisdom of others and applying it to your purpose. This means you have to put the work in to develop why you do what you do. If you can find that internal source of motivation (it's more sustaining), the relevant external forces will be much more apparent. In other words, when we know our own “why”, we can easily identify that of others which we appreciate. This episode is has 8 quotes that display this for me. I encourage you to think strongly about your own purpose and perhaps these quotes will also be great reminders for your. Generosity is tough - we need all the support we can get.

Today I am in conversation with Jill Norman – author of several books, and editor at Penguin. She very kindly talked to me about Jane Grigson and the book English Food at the start of this season.

Generosity ain't easy but it's great for business. People ask me how to be generous a lot - I say “like an subscribe”

The best teacher in the world is generosity. You might think that giving is a passive and one-sided experience but when you have the mindset it can be quite the opposite. Some of the greatest business lessons I've learned have come from observing generosity and experiencing it's power. People pleasing can mask itself as generosity. This leads to complacency, taking advantage of others, and overall malaise. Be careful giving people what they want and not what they need. Assuming it's true generosity. You'll have plenty of chances to learn how it can transform lives and businesses for good. I have 3 main lessons I've learned over the years and I share them in this episode. This is not to say there aren't other lessons or that these 3 are the most important to you. But either way, you'll find value in what a generous culture will tell you about people. And business is all about people, right? Take some concise notes on this one (this comes up in the episode

There are no shortcuts to productivity. You have to put in the work. Seems easy, right? The problem is the work isn't always easy to determine. It's hard to figure out what to do when there are a million sources trying to give you the easy way. It's best to recognize the myths and avoid them. ⚠ Don't waste your time. Focus on your own definition of success. Take action and learn along the way. The list of myths is robust as the day is long. Here are 26 to get you started. Have a generously productive day.

Today is an exciting day because we are tackling a topic that I consider extremely important, CRISPS, with food writer and journalist Natalie Whittle.We talk about the North American origins of the crisp, the excitement of discovering the crisps of other countries, iconic brands like Walkers and Tayto, and most importantly what the best flavour is – amongst many other things.Natalie's book Crunch: An Ode to Crisps is published by Faber & Faber.

Start by giving more than taking but don't stop there. There are all kinds of leadership. There are different prescribed styles - endless books and even more opinions. I think most are a positive influence but nothing is more important than being generous. In fact, I think being generous alone, makes you a leader. It's important to think about the things that make you generous more than the things that make you leader. Perhaps the title to thig episode is off. Maybe it should be “How to be Generous…so that You'll Become a Leader”. Either way, I the mindset is critical. The actions come. I have 4 important ways to act that will be key for acting as a generous leader - which will build a generous workplace culture. *And there's also a bonus! It's not #5

The book English Food by Jane Grigson was published 50 years ago this year. It's a book that has completely changed my life and I wanted to celebrate it with a three-part special. This is part three.I am going back to my roots here talking with three good friends of mine Nicola Aldren, Simone Blagg and Anthea Craig, all of whom were there at the inception of my idea to cook every recipe in English Food.We talk about memorable recipes, the large amounts of offal that were consumed, sous cheffing, pudding clubs and portion sizes, the horrorshow that was the stewed eel recipe, and many other things.I also give you my top 10 recipes to try (& a few to avoid)Support the podcast and blogs by becoming, if you can, a £3 monthly subscriber, and unlock lots of premium content, or treat me to a one-off virtual pint or coffee: click here.Neil's new book The Philosophy of Puddings is out now and published by the British Library.Books and other things mentioned in today's episode:English Food by Jane Grigson Charcuterie and French Pork Cookery by Jane GrigsonPrevious episodes pertinent to today's episode:50 Years of English Food by Jane GrigsonJane Grigson with Sophie Grigson18th Century Tavern Cooking with Marc MeltonvillePrevious blog posts pertinent to today's episode:Read Neil Cooks Grigson hereUpcoming events:Monsters & their Meals Hallowe'en eventFind out about upcoming events on the website here.Neil's blogs:‘British Food: a History' ‘Neil Cooks Grigson' Neil's books:Before Mrs Beeton: Elizabeth Raffald, England's Most Influential HousekeeperA Dark History of Sugar Knead to Know: a History of BakingThe Philosophy of PuddingsDon't forget, there will be postbag episodes in the future, so if you have any questions or queries about today's episode, or indeed any episode, or have a question about the history of British food please email me at neil@britishfoodhistory.com, or on twitter and BlueSky @neilbuttery, or Instagram and Threads dr_neil_buttery.

You have to be accurate and reliable to be authentic. I don't know any leaders that would disagree with that but why does it seem so hard to be those things? It's because we are very distracted by the world. Our greatest focus will produce our greatest results. If you're trying to build a generous culture in your life and your workplace, you have to spend the time on these things. Great leaders will radically chase after generosity. They will give when others expect them to take - and it's not fake (nice rhyme, huh?

How do we get students to show their reasoning in our math classroom community? On today's episode, I'm sharing about a simple way to build community & student confidence with a simple lesson plan straight from my favorite research based instructional practice... Word Problem Workshop!We are chatting about: What is a math community & why it matters The elements of the lesson plan How each element builds an essential skill for our students' Social Emotional Development!Links mentioned in this episode:

Personal growth is interpersonal. There is a lot of advice out there about taking care of yourself. The self-help industry is booming. See episode 88 with Robert Riopel. It's too easy for stuff to become “shelf-help”. Personal growth is an incredible collaborative process. You must commit to it but you can't do it alone. This episode provides 8 non-traditional habits that will help maximize your growth. Focus on building just one of them and you're guaranteed to get in the virtuous cycle of them all. Enjoy the growth.

Are your students thinking deeply about math concepts?

People work better when they work together. A rock star employee (or leader) is nothing without a rockstar team. Generous workplace cultures can be full of talented individuals but the team is way better than the sum of it's parts. A great culture attracts great people because they feel a collaborative and fulfilling environment. Leaders and team members alike each are a contributing part to the greater mission. There are certain techniques you can use to foster the right environment and encourage people to use their gifts and skills to contribute to the greater good. I have 6 for you to implement in your business. Have a collaborative day with your people.

You won't want to miss how Season One ENDS...  PATREON IS LIVE!!!  and MERCH IS LIVE!!!   Dear Diary & Listeners, I'd be lying if I said getting to this last episode of The Dichotomy Diaries was anything close to a walk in the park. In truth, it's been a grueling journey—one that has required me to face the ashes of my past and find a way to rise above them. Starting and maintaining this podcast has been the single hardest thing I've done, forcing me to dissect my experiences and uncover the roots of my pain. Much like the haunting echoes in Illenium's From the Ashes, I've wrestled with being broken down only to rise again. That song is close to my heart because, just as Phoenix shaped who I am today, it's also where I became my most broken. It's ironic: Phoenix both created and nearly destroyed me. As humans, we crave understanding. When faced with unanswered questions, we can either bury them or seek answers, no matter the cost. So, yes—I fucked around and found out, and I don't regret it. There were days I wanted to give up, to disappear from the internet entirely. But each day, I rose with purpose, determined to see this through. And while this process has been healing, it has also been intensely challenging, revealing both sadness and the joy of personal transformation. Hosting this podcast has unintentionally filtered out the wrong people from my life—The Fuck Boy Filter, if you will. Those who approached me should have known that I have no patience for those who aren't genuine or respectful. It's worked, more or less, but I have encountered some strange birds along the way. Thankfully, the DMs have slowed, and the wildest proposals now feel like a distant memory. Even better, the podcast has acted as a background check, a sort of litmus test for anyone new who enters my life. I am so happy to mention that the new man in my life is beyond amazing. Though he respects my work and acknowledges my commitment, he hasn't listened to a single episode. Initially, I was disappointed—it's my art, after all. But then, I realized that not everyone needs to know every detail. True connection doesn't need to know the scars in high definition; it can see the resilience in your eyes and recognize your strength without needing every gritty detail. I am positive that if he tuned in, he'd be fuming just a few minutes into the first episode. And honestly? I can't blame him. I hope this final episode brings you the closure it brought me. I hope you found value in listening to my journey, and if you did, I'd love to hear about it. My DMs are always open.  As I wrap up Season 1 of The Dichotomy Diaries, I find myself reflecting on all I've endured and overcome. There were countless times when I was faced with people trying to burn down everything I had worked to rebuild. To those who wanted to see me fall, here's my response: What do you want from me tonight? You wanna burn down everything in sight? I've walked through the flames and emerged stronger, unafraid of what comes next. Because I've realized I'm not just surviving this fire; I'm thriving in it. So go on, light your matches, and watch as I rise from the ashes. Thank you for standing beside me in the fire. Season 2 awaits... Forever Speaking My Truth,  Amanda L.

What math intervention curriculums actually work? This is one of the questions I get asked the most and today I'm excited to chat about all things math interventions with my friend, Juliana!We're chatting about: Having high expectations of our studentsThe important piece math intervention curriculums miss Just in time approaches to math interventionsOther links:8 Ways to Build Math Classroom Community90: Math Trauma and What to Do About It49: 3 Expectations & "Just in Time Supports" in Math Connect with Juliana: @collaborated.with.juliana on Instagramwww.collaboratedwithjuliana.comJuliana's book: Teaching 6-12 Math Intervention: A Practical Framework to Engage Students Who StruggleHave Questions?

Generous workplace cultures are never built by chance. There must be intentional pieces to foster the proper environment. I have 8 I normally concentrate on and speak about. This doesn't mean there are only 8. In fact, I encourage you to come up with your own but these will be a good start regardless of your industry and unique position. The focus is always on people and making sure they have everything they need (tangible and intangible) for two things: Feeling highly capable in contributing to your company's mission To do their work. Give people what they need and they'll do what it takes to help themselves and their colleagues. Note that each of the things on the list also applies to bosses, managers, leaders, and executives. None of these things escapes anyone in a company. It's a full group effort. Have a generous day with your people.

Do math grades stress you out? If you are needing to get some grades in the grade book for progress reports, this episode will help you figure out what to grade, when to grade, and how to grade in math.

The way you ask questions matters. We all have our list of cliché pleasantries. My favorite is, “What's up?”. Do I really care what is up? I like to think so but it's not always the case. Generous workplace culture is full of people who really care about the well-being of others. They want to know how they can be helpful. I have 3 questions that are generous twist on some more typical ones that are used in the workplace. Great leaders will make people feel like they really care. And you do really care, right? I believe you do and that you'll have generous day.

You can't fake it ‘til you make it. Generosity, by definition, requires sincerity. In some ways, this makes it easy to recognize generosity (at least internally). You know when you're “in it”. There are some terms that are popular out there that while they can be great things, they can also be not so great if done for the wrong reasons. I'm covering 5 “imposters” of generosity in this episode. You might first think I'm crazy when you see how positive they can be. But that's the thing. A lot of people don't do these with truly selfless intentions. Generosity is different. It requires selflessness. You'll want to build your workplace culture with the right intentions in mind; for effectiveness and also as a great example for your people. Have a truly generous day.

I was feeling hormonal. And I still am! Generous workplace cultures really make you feel like you're a part of something great. It's a nice mix between responsibility and support. Each company and group of people are different but one thing I can guarantee you'll find in every room is hormones. There is no getting around it - and you don't really want to. Great leaders are highly aware of how people's hormones are moving whether they know it or not. It's a good idea to have a general understanding of how they work.
