Podcasts about organisational behaviour

Ever wondered why your team's brilliant technical expert turns into a bumbling fool the second they're promoted? Or why your boss would rather launch a doomed rocket than admit a mistake? Welcome to the brutal, biological truth: status is the invisible force driving every decision, conflict, and ego in your workplace.In this eye-opening episode, Jimmy and James are joined by Ceri Newton-Sargunar—neuroscientist, chaos theorist, and self-proclaimed "ologist"—to dissect how our primal need for status (success, power, or virtue) shapes behaviour, from boardroom power plays to the quiet despair of middle managers. Ceri reveals why even flat organisations aren't immune, how status threats trigger the same brain response as a punch to the face, and why your "virtuous" colleague might actually be the office's biggest problem.Key points:Status isn't just about job titles—it's a biological drive as old as the pecking order in chickens.The three types of status: success, power, and virtue—and why they clash spectacularly.Why promoted experts often fail: losing technical status can break their sense of self.Psychological safety is impossible without addressing status threats.How to spot your own status monsters (and everyone else's).Dry, unflinching, and packed with dark humour, this is the episode that'll make you question every meeting, every promotion, and every time you've rolled your eyes at a colleague.Got a question - get in touch.

"Hungry." It's the word that's been all over Singapore's feeds in recent days. A recruiter said companies are replacing local workers with regional hires. Not because they're more skilled, but because they're hungrier. The reaction was immediate, loud, and personal. But what does hungry actually mean — and are we even asking the right question? On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo sits down with Dr Paul Lim, Director of Undergraduate Admissions and Senior Lecturer of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources at SMU's Lee Kong Chian School of Business, to unpack what's really going on. Is hunger a character trait or something the system builds in you, or takes away? What does organisational behaviour research actually say about workplace motivation? And if companies keep choosing cheaper overseas hires, is that a worker problem or a management failure dressed up as one?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the new edition of “The INSEAD Perspective: Spotlight on Asia” podcast series, Sameer Hasija, Dean of Asia at INSEAD, speaks with Winnie Jiang, Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour, about how organisations and individuals in Asia are changing the way they think about work, training and careers.In particular, Jiang identifies a fundamental shift from "institutionalised" to "uninstitutionalised" career transitions. Unlike the past, where career changes – such as moving from journalism to law or banking to baking – followed clear routes and required standard qualifications, today's job landscape has been totally upended by AI and geopolitical uncertainty.  This makes identifying "safe" next steps, or a stable career that can guarantee success nearly impossible, creating real anxiety. AI's transformation of how skills are learned and a global reduction in entry-level hiring are further feeding a growing unease among many employees about their futures. For Jiang, the key to navigating this disruption is not to resist technology but to actively embrace experimentation. By becoming experts in specific AI tools, individuals don't just increase company productivity, they can also enhance their own roles and add greater meaning to their work.The shift towards "uninstitutionalised" careers may offer another positive. In many of Asia's collectivist and "face" cultures, where career choices have historically been tied to family pride and stability, current uncertainty may ironically liberate younger generations to pursue work that they find personally fulfilling.  Schools like INSEAD have an important role to play in this transformation. It is their responsibility to help people and organisations turn technological disruption into an opportunity for professional growth that benefits both the firm and the individual.Read more at https://knowledge.insead.edu/career/ai-and-career-reinvention.Or watch the video: https://youtu.be/7Yg8O_wv60E.

What does love have to do with leadership? More than most leaders dare to admit.My guest is Gianpiero Petriglieri, a professor at INSEAD and one of the most original and provocative voices on leadership today. We explore his idea of leadership as a kind of love, not sentimental or naive, but deeply relational. He makes a compelling distinction between performance and outcome, arguing that what you can control is not the result but the daily choices and gestures you make.We go into the practical too. Gianpiero shares why curiosity and generosity shift everything, and why what really develops leaders is relationships with people who tell you the truth.If you lead a team or organisation, this conversation will invite you to look differently at the small moments of time, attention and care that make leadership real, credible and human."Leadership is a relationship, not a toolkit." - Gianpiero PetriglieriYou'll hear about:Leadership reframed as a kind of love.Instrumental versus humanistic relationships.Curiosity and generosity as leadership habits.Feeling safe and free at the same time.Why passion without devotion disappoints.Balancing reality and imagination.People, not programmes, develop leaders.Advice for leaders in a new role.Culture lives in the spreadsheet.Investment as leadership credibility.Quick-fire round on presence and connection.Gianpiero's best day habits.About Gianpiero Petriglieri:Gianpiero Petriglieri is Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD and an expert on leadership and learning in the workplace.His award-winning research and teaching focus on what it means, and what it takes, to become a leader. He is particularly interested in the meaning and practice of leadership in the age of “nomadic professionalism,” an age in which people have deep bonds to work but loose affiliations to organisations, and authenticity and mobility have replaced loyalty and advancement as hallmarks of virtue and success. A Medical Doctor and Psychiatrist by training, Gianpiero has worked as an executive coach, practiced as a psychotherapist, and served on the staff of group relations conferences in Europe and the United States.Profile: https://shorturl.at/WYvT1Instagram: https://shorturl.at/qMHeZWriting: https://shorturl.at/rHAbb Research: https://shorturl.at/Bj650 My resources:Try my High-stakes meetings toolkit (https://bit.ly/43cnhnQ) Take my Becoming a Strategic Leader course (https://bit.ly/3KJYDTj)Sign up to my Every Day is a Strategy Day newsletter (http://bit.ly/36WRpri) for modern mindsets and practices to help you get ahead.Subscribe to my YouTube channel (http://bit.ly/3cFGk1k) where you can watch the conversation.For more details about me:·      Services (https://rb.gy/ahlcuy) to CEOs, entrepreneurs and professionals.·      About me (https://rb.gy/dvmg9n) - my background, experience and philosophy.·      Examples of my writing https://rb.gy/jlbdds).·      Follow me and engage with me on LinkedIn (https://bit.ly/2Z2PexP).·      Follow me and engage with me on Twitter (https://bit.ly/36XavNI).

Singapore has strengthened support for working parents in recent years, from expanded parental leave to formal requests for flexible work arrangements. But on the ground, the burden of making things work continues to fall on families.So, what does this reveal about how workplaces are actually structured and whether policies are translating into real support? Chong Sin Hui, Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources at Nanyang Business School, joins the Breakfast Show to unpack the gap between policy and practice, the tensions teams face when caregiving needs arise, and what it would take to build workplaces where parents don’t have to choose between being present at work and at home.

In this era of "permacrisis" and constant disruption, adaptability and resilience are vital traits that require collaboration and an increasing focus on human-centric skills. That's the messaging to come out of the 2025 Global Talent Competitive Index (GTCI), an annual report that highlights the latest talent trends and offers insights into the current global talent landscape.For this episode of “The INSEAD Perspective: Spotlight on Asia” podcast series, Sameer Hasija, Dean of Asia at INSEAD, analyses the results and implications of the 11th edition of the GTCI through an APAC lens alongside two of its authors: L. Felipe Monteiro, Academic Director of the GTCI and Senior Affiliate Professor of Strategy, and Paul Evans, Emeritus Professor of Organisational Behaviour.   Perhaps the most notable theme from the 2025 report is the shifting value of human capabilities, where soft human-centric skills are becoming just as vital as hard digital or technical skills. As AI handles increasingly complex technical tasks, Monteiro and Evans suggest that "generalist adaptive skills" – including leadership, innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship – will increasingly take centre stage.Reflecting on the high ranking of certain countries such as Singapore, Switzerland and the Nordic nations, Evans points to the strength of their integrated ecosystems, where government, business, educational institutions and labour organisations work together to solve problems using a forward-looking approach. He warns that without this deep ecosystem collaboration and a long-term vision, even technologically advanced nations may struggle to implement the systemic changes required to thrive in today's disrupted global economy.That potential danger is highlighted in a concerning trend identified in the report, where several upper-middle-income countries, such as Malaysia, Brazil and Mexico, appear to have reached a "talent plateau" or “trap". Despite making good headway in the earlier stages of their development, these countries have seen their progress stall as they find themselves squeezed between high-innovating top-tier countries and lower-income countries with cost advantages.   Levels of optimism for the future were mixed among the three speakers.However, they agreed that greater collaboration, an increased emphasis on lifelong education and the ability of individuals to learn and adjust on the job will be vital if countries and companies hope to successfully navigate the uncertain waters of the next five years – and beyond.  

What if the secret to breakthrough performance wasn't a dramatic overhaul, but a series of small, consistently applied changes? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague speaks with Damian Hughes, author of Micro Habits, co-host of the High Performance podcast, and England rugby coach, about the power of small, consistent actions in building extraordinary results. Drawing on insights from over 500 elite performers, from Formula 1 champion Lando Norris to Michelin-starred chef Will Guidara, Hughes explains why culture, identity, and purpose outperform dramatic reinvention. He unpacks the Job-Career-Calling framework, the "Best Friend Test," and the "Batman Effect," revealing how micro habits shape resilience, engagement, and high-performing teams. Success, he argues, is engineered daily, one deliberate choice at a time. What You Will Learn: How to reframe any task to unlock higher engagement and effectiveness The "Best Friend Test" method for discovering your authentic purpose Why "we not me" cultures outperform ego-driven organizations The psychology of not "sweating the small stuff." The Batman Effect: how an aspirational identity shifts you from reactive panic to strategic response How to establish micro habits despite resistance   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts.

So I started going back through the archive of 500 guests, and in every one of them, you would find at least one or two ideas that were central to it. The more I looked at it through that lens of what are the small things that these people are doing that any of us could adopt, that's where the micro habits idea came from." "When you meet people who have achieved incredible things, you think it's about talent or money or connections, but what you realize when you look closest is it's boring stuff, the boring stuff of showing up every day and doing these habits that bring a reward. It's not about big leaps or great shows of courage; it's often done in really small, simple, but consistently applied habits." "Every task you do can either be viewed as just a job, just a career, or just a calling. If you view it as a calling, you do it because you love it and it fits your identity. It's the same task you're doing, but the way you choose to interpret it makes your levels of happiness, effectiveness, and ability to engage with others increase." "The real answer to 'why are you my mate' almost doesn't have words, it's the emotional part of the brain. You have to keep pushing because what we often try to do is put words to emotions that don't have a vocabulary. Eventually, they will articulate something that is an emotion you evoke, and then you think about how to structure your life around that."   Keywords: Primary Keywords (Core Themes): micro habits, high performance culture, personal development, business leadership, habit formation, consistency and momentum, performance psychology, elite sports coaching, organizational behavior, self-improvement strategies Secondary Keywords (Related Subtopics): job crafting, calling versus career, purpose-driven work, team dynamics, we versus me mentality, customer experience, hospitality culture, resilience in adversity, responding versus reacting, identity-based habits   Episode Resources: Damian Hughes on LinkedIn Nick Hague on LinkedIn World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube  

In discussion with Rob Feltham, Tatiana Rowson describes how the world is experiencing an unprecedented demographic shift in the profile of the workforce. People today are living longer and often healthier lives than ever before in history and are increasingly also working into much later life than has been the case in the past. What is frequently overlooked is that it is not just the length of people's working lives that is changing, but also the nature of those working lives. Tatiana challenges the continuing value of concepts like ‘development' and ‘work-life balance' and outlines a model of personal leadership which enables individuals to exercise agency and choice and to create more sustainable and fulfilling working lives for themselves, particularly from mid career onwards.  Dr Tatiana S. Rowson is Associate Professor in Organisational Behaviour at Henley Business School. She teaches personal leadership development to students in the Henley MBA and undergraduate programmes. Tatiana is the Programme Area Director for Business and Management and is a member of the Henley Centre for Leadership. Her research interests encompass ageing, work, and employment, with a particular focus on how midlife transitions impact health, wellbeing, and economic activity in late career. Before joining academia, Tatiana worked as an organisational psychologist and executive coach for several high-profile organisations in the UK, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates. She is currently based in the UK.About the book: Rowson, T. and Sloan, K. (2025) Personal Leadership in the Age of No Retirement, De Gruyter.  Rob Feltham is Podcast Editor of The ABP

In this episode, Niels Brabandt, Founder and Owner of NB Networks, explores one of the most overlooked questions in modern leadership: Do people have a right to get an answer? In a world of constant messages, endless meetings, and overflowing inboxes, silence has become a management habit—and a dangerous one. Leaders often justify non-responsiveness as efficiency, while employees interpret it as neglect. Both are wrong. Niels Brabandt examines why communication is not a courtesy but a core leadership responsibility. Drawing on his expertise in Sustainable Leadership, he explains: Why unanswered questions damage trust and performance. How to distinguish between complicated and complex issues when responding. The importance of situative leadership and clear communication rules. Why self-reflection is essential for leaders and employees alike. How organisations can create accountability without overregulation. The episode delivers a clear message: There may be no legal right to an answer, but there is a moral and organisational duty to communicate. Leadership without communication is not leadership—it's silence with a title. A must-listen for executives, decision-makers, and leadership professionals aiming to build credibility, trust, and sustainable performance within their organisations.

How do public servants make smart decisions when time is short and the stakes are high?In this episode, host David Pembroke is joined by two leading experts in organisational decision-making: Eric Barends, Managing Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Management, and Alessandra Capezio, Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at the Australian National University. Together, they explore how public servants can make better decisions by combining data, research, stakeholder input, and professional experience.The conversation delves into the challenges of balancing instinct and evidence in fast-paced environments, the risks of relying on heuristics and cognitive biases, and the importance of cultivating a culture that supports critical thinking and evidence-informed practice.Key tips: Use multiple sources of evidence to support decision-making. Avoid relying solely on personal experience; combine organisational data, scientific research, stakeholder perspectives, and expert judgement.Challenge cognitive biases. Recognise common pitfalls like solution fixation and authority bias, and ask critical questions to uncover root causes.Build capability and culture. Equip teams with the skills and shared language to critically appraise evidence, even under time pressure, and foster leadership that values evidence-based practice.Show notes:Evidence-based tools and resources | Center for Evidence-Based Management websiteOnline course on evidence-based management | CEBMaEBDM support, short courses and bespoke offerings | Associate Professor Alessandra Capezio via ANU Hosted on Acast.

In this podcast, Andy Yap, Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD, discusses how leaders can inspire and empower others through communicatiion that appeals to both the head and the heart. It starts with listening. In today's globalised workplace, leaders must communicate effectively with diverse groups. Doing this well starts with understanding the context and culture of your audience, which has as much to do with listening, observing and reading the room as speaking.He gives his take on a authenticity and discusses anticipatory stress. To get better at communicating, we need self-awareness, the space to make mistakes and honest feedback. Communication, as a skill, is well worth honing, he stressed, for it can be your sharpest edge.

Despite millions retiring annually, the topic remains taboo for many employers and employees. Every year, millions leave the workforce, yet discussions about this common rite of passage are often avoided.This INSEAD Knowledge podcast features Graham Ward, Adjunct Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Isabel Lebbe, Partner in the Investment Management practice of Arendt & Medernach, discussing the often-neglected issue of retirement.Drawing on years of research in this field, the pair highlight the significant impact that retirement can have on both individuals and the organisations they leave behind. They point out that retirement should not merely be seen an event but is, in fact, a complex process that requires careful consideration and planning from both sides. Ward and Lebbe argue that with an ageing population, changing demographics also mean firms need to stop viewing retirement as an end. Instead, they must view it as a valuable opportunity to maintain relationships and leverage the experience of retiring employees to ensure a positive experience for all involved. Read more: https://knowledge.insead.edu/career/talk-about-making-good-exit  

Rigid hierarchical team designs seem to have fallen out of favour with many contemporary organisations. But making the switch to a decentralised approach, where authority is more evenly distributed between team members instead of concentrated among a few senior leaders, is by no means easy.In this podcast, Michael Y. Lee, Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD, explains the difficulties of dismantling organisational hierarchies. He unpacks the reasons why firms can fail in their bids to jettison hierarchies and suggests two key practices they can adopt to set themselves up for success.

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing my client Niven Postma, an advisor, author and keynote speaker. We explored Niven's expertise in addressing workplace disengagement and her ongoing PhD research on office politics, particularly concerning women. We also talked about LinkedIn, where Niven has built a strong presence by sharing insightful content, as well as the importance of genuine connections and effective communication.    In this episode:  [00:00:47] Introducing Niven Postma. [00:02:33] Niven explains her work addressing workplace disengagement and her focus on effective teams. [00:04:15] Methods of engagement, including team effectiveness and customised workshops on office politics. [00:05:55] Jessica and Niven share their experiences with academic writing and its reception. [00:09:03] Social media and content creation, including Niven's intentional strategy for using LinkedIn. [00:13:33] LinkedIn's potential for global connections and becoming a LinkedIn top voice. [00:15:09] The importance of pursuing meaningful work and the unexpected resonance it can create. [00:17:03] The evolving opportunities available through platforms like LinkedIn and global interconnectedness. [00:18:09] Making conscious choices in life, how it shapes your identity and the importance of shared human experiences. [00:21:22] Niven explains how she navigates cultural differences in her research and identifies universal themes. [00:23:49] Lessons for corporate women on office politics. [00:26:32] The challenges of corporate ladder mentality and the need for new business perspectives. [00:28:45] The importance of recognizing personal blocks and seeking external help for growth. [00:30:17] Niven discusses her powerful vision board session and its significance in her journey. [00:34:15] Niven and Jessica discuss the importance of rest and its mental benefits to regain focus and creativity.   Key Takeaways:  Niven emphasised the importance of authenticity. Share your true insights and experiences rather than trying to fit a mold.  Niven highlighted an interesting statistic: Nearly 80% of employees feel disengaged at work. This disengagement isn't due to a lack of desire to contribute but a disconnect between employees and their work environments. Listen to the episode to hear strategies to combat disengagement. Niven's ongoing PhD research focuses on how office politics differ for women. Women often need to be more strategic in navigating office politics due to different expectations and biases.    Quotes:  “Significance is not something that you can pursue, it's something that will ensue when you are doing things that matter in a way that are powerful to and for you.” - Niven Postma “There is a profound difference between being right and being effective. They're not the same thing. Being the best and being the most successful, you know, against the metrics you define as successful, which are highly personal, these are not the same things. So being the best, it might be necessary, it's not sufficient. And being right may be useful, it's not sufficient.” - Niven Postma “We've got almost 80% disengagement in organisations around the world while at the same time we've got almost 80% of adults saying that even if they were to become financially independent and didn't need to work, they'd still want to work. So for me, this is such a tragedy, such an irony, such a waste.” - Niven Postma   Useful Links Niven:  NivenPostma.com Connect with Niven on LinkedIn Jessica: The Seven Figures Club Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Join the weekly email newsletter for women consultants Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn   Guest Bio Niven Postma has held executive positions since she was 29, in a career that has spanned multiple sectors and roles, including: CEO of the Businesswomen's Association, Head of the South African Reserve Bank Academy and Head of Leadership and Culture for the Standard Bank Group (the largest bank by assets in Africa).

A good friend of mine has worked in a particular sector for most of her career. From the outside she's one of those people who's life looks perfect. But more recently over a series of honest talks, she's confided in me that she hates her job. Has done for years. Naturally I've asked, “why don't you do something else?” She explained that there were a couple of big things keeping her stuck. Firstly, she doesn't know what she wants to do instead. (Kind of a problem).The other big thing is that she's overwhelmed with self-doubt at the idea of making a big change. She's been doing what she's been doing for so long, that at least she knows she's good at it. It feels terrifying to walk away from.This week on Tiger Therapy, I'm speaking to world authority on career transitions, who has been named one of the most influential business thinkers in the world.Herminia Ibarra is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School.

Finding meaning in your work isn't just about loving what you do. The reality is there are many ways to experience fulfillment, even in what might seem like a mundane job.In this episode, Winnie Jiang, an Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD, explains how financial security, connections with colleagues and even the satisfaction of doing a good job can all contribute to a sense of purpose. Jiang outlines how meaning can be grown and developed through “job crafting”. This can involve adjusting tasks, choosing to work with certain colleagues or changing how we view the overall meaning of our work. Importantly, she emphasises that while passion and purpose can be cultivated in almost any role, you ultimately have control over your experience. You can either change your perspective and approach to a situation, or, if necessary, remove yourself from it altogether.Jiang then explores the topic of career transitions. She examines why some people find it difficult to move to a new role, while others seem to switch occupations with ease. The key, she says, is to identify and recognise what gives your work meaning and how those elements might be transferable to new roles.By understanding your own "meaning perception", you can approach career changes with a more open mind and find fulfillment in unexpected places.Related reading:Your Dream Job May Not Exist, and That's OkayThe Secret Ingredient For a Successful Career ChangeHow to Find Fulfilment by Taking a Step Down

Professionals are often told – and mostly convinced – that networking is good for their careers. However, the challenge is plugging the knowing-doing gap. How can people build and manage their networks more effectively? What makes individuals more or less motivated to network? In this podcast, Ko Kuwabara, Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD, explains how mindsets can affect peoples' motivation to network. He discusses networking through the lens of a growth vs. fixed mindset – a concept popularised by psychologist Carol S. Dweck.He also discusses how as the modern workplace becomes increasingly diverse, a growth mindset can help members of an organisation better embrace diversity.

Today's Building Block: Work (yes, work...) What makes transitions so hard to navigate?  Herminia Ibarra, a thought leader on leadership and career development and author of Working Identity, shares her insights on creating new options as you prepare for your transition to retirement. Herminia Ibarra joins us from London. ________________________ Comments?

Prior to joining LBS, she served on the INSEAD and Harvard Business School faculties.

A native of Cuba, Herminia received her MA and PhD from Yale University, where she was a National Science Fellow. --- A second and updated edition of her groundbreaking book Working Identity was recently published by Harvard Business Review Press. Whether as a daydream or a spoken desire, nearly all of us have entertained the notion of reinventing ourselves. Feeling unfulfilled, burned out, or just plain unhappy with what we're doing, we long to make that leap into the unknown. In this powerful book, Herminia presents a new model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from ‘career experts'. While common wisdom holds that we must first know what we want to do before we can act, Ibarra argues that this advice is backward. Knowing, she says, is the result of doing and experimenting. Based on her in-depth research on professionals and managers in transition, Ibarra outlines an active process of career reinvention that leverages three ways of ‘working identity': experimenting with new professional activities, interacting in new networks of people, and making sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities. Through engrossing stories, Ibarra reveals a set of guidelines that all successful reinventions share. She explores specific ways that hopeful career changers of any background can. A call to the dreamer in each of us, Working Identity explores the process for crafting a more fulfilling future. ________________________ For More on Herminia Ibarra Website Working Identity by Herminia Ibarra Articles ________________________ Check out our Best Books on Retirement ________________________ Mentioned in This Podcast Episode The HBR Guide to Designing Your Retirement ________________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like The Portfolio Life - Christina Wallace  Are You Ready for The New Long Life? – Andrew Scott Retire Happy - Dr. Catherine Sanderson Why Retirement is About Much More Than Money – Ted Kaufman & Bruce Hiland _________________________ Wise Quotes  On Transitions "Transitions necessarily imply a loss of a sense of identity, a loss of something that has been meaningful and valuable. You're moving away from someone you've been, but the future you isn't clear yet, or the future destination or the next role isn't clear yet. So you're kind of hanging in limbo and that's very uncomfortable. We live in a world in which certainty is valued, know who you are and the nature of this process and part of what makes it productive is questioning who you are, but that's necessarily uncomfortable.

So, I would love for you to share with our listeners a little bit about the technique that you talk about in the article. • Are there any other techniques that you encourage someone to practice in order to overcome that speaking anxiety? • A big part of communication outside of speaking is listening, what has been your experience as a coach trying to help people to become better listeners? • Can you share with our listeners what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? • We'd also like for you to share with our listeners, maybe one or two books that you've read, could be a book that you read recently, or even one you read a very long time ago, but the book has had a very big impact on you. • Can you also share with our listeners what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. • Where can listeners find you online? • Now, before we wrap our episodes up, Matt, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you will tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you get derailed or you get off track, this quote kind of helps to get you back on track.   Highlights Matt's Journey Matt shared that he's somebody who has always been passionate and curious about communication. He remembers as a young child, being fascinated with how people communicate. In fact, one day, his mother decided it was important for him and his brother to have a yard sale, a garage sale because they had so much stuff, she was frustrated and wanted to get rid of it.  And where he grew up, there were lots of garage sales all over the place. And his mother specifically said, misspell the word garage on the signs that they were putting up and he was surprised by this advice. But they did and they inserted the letter “B” in the word garage. So, they had a garbage sale while everybody else had a garage sale. And they sold more stuff than anybody that weekend. And at that moment, he realised wow, the way you speak, the language you use, the words you use can influence people.  So, ever since then he's been fascinated by it, he studied it in school in graduate school, he worked in the corporate world for over a decade and saw the impact of communication both good and bad. And to this day, he finds it fascinating and do a lot of work in the field.    Techniques Talked About in The Article from Entrepreneurs Magazine, How to Sound Smarter and Memorable Anytime Me: Now, I was lucky enough when travelling in October to purchase a copy of Entrepreneur Magazine. And I came upon your article, “How to Sound Smart and Memorable Anytime.” And I read the article and I was so intrigued, it caught my attention so much that I was like, “Oh my goodness, I have find this gentleman on LinkedIn and I have to invite him as guest on our podcast.” And so, I would just love for you to share the technique that you talked about in this article as it relates to communication and presenting and just share with our listeners a little bit about what that technique can do to improve on your presentations.   Matt shared that when it comes to communicating, especially communicating in the moment, it is critical that we are effective and we come off as confident, competent and clear. Many of us get very nervous when we have to speak in the moment and it can be very challenging for us. So, he has spent a lot of his last little bit of times trying to learn how to help people be better at speaking in the moment and that's what his whole new book is about. It's really about helping people feel better in the moment so that they can come off as confident and comfortable and help those better understand what it is they're talking about.  So, the article that you're referring to is really about one of the ways that we can go about sounding better and more intelligent when we speak, it's leveraging a specific structure. So, what's critical in our communication is that we package the information up in a way that is readily digestible by our audience. Many of us when we communicate spontaneously just itemize information, we share what we're thinking as we're thinking it. And that's not how people process information.  He talked to many neuroscientists and they say our brains are wired for story, something that has a beginning, a middle and an end, logical connections of ideas.  So, in the article and one of the things he teaches a lot is how do you put structure to communication? And he talked about one of his favourite structures, it's three questions. What?, So, what? Now, What?   What is the idea you're talking about? It's your product, your service, your offering your update, your feedback, it is the what?  So, what is why is it important and relevant to your audience? We have known for decades that content that is relevant and salient for an audience is what they pay attention to.  And then finally, now, what is what comes next? Maybe it's do you have questions for me, or let me show you a demonstration, or let's set up another meeting.  So, by simply following the structure, What, So, what, Now, what, answering those questions, you can package up your information nicely. In fact, he just used that structure to help explain the structure. He told you what it was, why it's important, and how you can use it. So, that article, and a lot of what he does is really about helping people learn different structures for different speaking situations.    Me: Amazing. And you also had some other structures that you mentioned in the article where you spoke about: ·      Problem, Solution, Benefit ·      Point, Reason, Example point ·      Comparison, Contrast, Conclusion ·      Situation, Task, Action and Result Could you just elaborate, maybe about 10 to 20 seconds on each for those just for our listeners, as well?   Matt shared that when it comes to speaking in the moment, there lots of different types of circumstances and situations that we find ourselves in. And different structures apply for different situations. So, when you're selling something, trying to persuade somebody of something, a very useful structure is problem, solution, benefit.  Many of us have found ourselves in circumstances where we need to persuade, so you articulate the problem, challenge or issue, you then explain your suggestion for how we go about solving it. And then you explain the benefits of doing so. So, that can be a very useful structure. In fact, any television advertisement you've ever seen has been in that structure.  There are other structures as well. In the article, he talked about another one, he recommends that people use a lot, which is comparison, contrast, conclusion, you compare two items together or three, or four. And then you talk about how they're different, that's the contrast. And then you give your conclusion. There are myriad structures out there, people are familiar with some, others not so familiar with. But the idea is to have a toolkit of structures that you can leverage to help you in those moments where you're struggling.   Techniques Encouraged to Practice in Order to Overcome Speaking Anxiety  Me: So, a big part of what you do as well, Matt is trying to help people get over the anxiety of presenting in front of a lot of people confidently, and I know structure, the methodology of the structure will definitely help you to have a little bit more focus, and you will have something in place versus just going up there and not knowing what to say. But are there any other techniques that you encourage someone to practice in order to overcome that speaking anxiety?   Matt shared that first and foremost, he doesn't think you can overcome anxiety, he thinks we can become more comfortable with it, we can learn to manage it. But would we even want to overcome it, anxiety is actually helpful to us, it is something that helps us focus, it allows us to be sure that what we're saying is important for ourselves and our audience, and it gives us energy. So, to him, it's all about managing anxiety, not overcoming anxiety.  And when it comes to that there are lots of things that people can do, we can manage both symptoms, as well as sources, symptoms are the things that we physiologically experience. And then sources are the things that initiate and exacerbate our anxiety.  So, it's important to attack both situations. So, symptoms are the things that we experienced, so many people get shaky, they feel their heart rate go up, so to help those with specific techniques, for example, deep belly breathing, you can breathe, take a slow inhale in and a longer exhale out and that will actually initiate a relaxation response that can help and it doesn't take very much to actually have that take effect. If you're shaky that's adrenaline trying to move you from threat towards safety and that means that we can do some movement in the beginning of a presentation stepping forward towards the audience, big broad gestures that gives the adrenaline a place to go and that way we can feel less anxious of our symptoms.  Now there are sources too, sources are the things that start our anxiety and continue it.  The biggest source of anxiety is people have a goal when they speak and it's good to have a goal when you speak. But we're afraid we won't achieve our goal and if you think about it, that means we're afraid that we won't achieve a future outcome.  So, the way to short circuit goal based anxiety is to become present, be focused in the moment, focus on what you're saying, focus on the audience and their needs, do something physical to get you in your body out of your head. These are all ways to manage the source of future thoughts.  So, there's a lot we can do to manage anxiety, the very first book he wrote was called Speaking Up without Freaking Out, it's a 50 techniques to help people feel better and more comfortable in the moment speaking. So, if we can manage our anxiety, we're going to do much better when it comes to our mission.   Communication: Apart from Speaking, How to Become a Better Listener Me: I believe a big part of communication outside of speaking, which I think the bigger part of communication that's way more important than speaking is listening. What has been your experience as a coach trying to help people to become better listeners, sometimes you're in a conversation, and I find that I have a challenge personally, with persons when I'm communicating, and they don't give you a moment to express your thought fully, and they start talking in the middle of your sentence. So, you're not even able to complete what you're actually saying and how do you get to that point where you can be present in the moment when the person is speaking so you can take in all that they're saying to you and process that information carefully, before actually making a response and get to the speaking part.   Matt shared that yes, listening is really important and many of us don't do it well. In fact, he heard somebody say, “Listening is really just what we do when we're waiting for our turn.”  You need to listen deeply, focused in a present oriented way to really not only show that you care about the person to connect, but also to understand what's needed in the moment.  Giving an example. Imagine you and him come out of a meeting and you say to him, “Matt, what do you think?” And he says, “Oh, good, she wants feedback. Let me give it. Well, this work, this didn't work, you could have done this better, we should have done this, etc.” But had he really listened, he might have noticed that your tone was a little quieter than usual. You came down to the back door instead of the front door, you were looking down when you asked him that question, what you really needed in that moment was not feedback, but it was support, and he missed the clues and cues. And he by jumping into giving you all this harsh feedback might have damaged the relationship.   So, we need to learn to listen well. How do you do that?  First and foremost, you listen for the bottom line, when we focus on what the person is saying in a deep way. What's the bottom line, we listen with a much more focused intensity than how we normally do it, which is just the top line, just the gist, what are they saying. And then as soon as we hear it, we begin rehearsing and evaluating and judging and that works against us really understanding.  So, the way to become a better listener is to listen for the bottom line, to give yourself permission to pay attention not just to what they're saying but how they're saying it, context in which you're saying it. This is hard work. Listening is challenging. He heard somebody once say, “You should listen until you sweat.” And he loves that idea, because it's implying that listening is an active activity, something that we really need to focus on. So, he loves that Yanique brought up that question, and he hopes everybody listening takes time to listen better.   App, Website or Tool that Matt Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business When asked about online resources that he can't live without in his business, Matt shared that he gets a tonne of email and he uses a tool called Superhuman to help him parse through his email. It is an amazing tool, it has probably saved him 30%....40% of his email processing time. He loves the tool. He met the founder of the company a number of years ago, when he explained to him what he was working on, he fell in love with it instantly. And it is the tool he uses the most and it is the most helpful tool to him.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Matt When asked about books that have had an impact, Matt shared that beyond the books that he's written, which has had a huge impact on him. He's learned a lot in writing those two books Think Faster, Talk Smarter and Speaking up Without Freaking Out.  There are two books that he recommends to everybody. The first book is called Improv Wisdom, Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up by Patricia Ryan Madson. It is a very short book, but it is life changing. It has changed his life. It is a book that talks about the rules and ways that improvisation, improv can be applied to daily life. So, it's not about being funny, it's not about being up on a stage. It's about how to live your life in a more present oriented, connected, spontaneous way. Fantastic book!  The other book is a book he recommends to anybody looking to get better at their communication. It is an older book, as is Improv Wisdom. It is called Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Dan and Chip Heath, Chip Heath actually is a colleague of his at Stanford's Business School. It's all about how to make your ideas stand out and stick in people's minds in a world where there's a lot of things pulling at our attention. They give a six step methodology much like he does in his new book, that's all about how to make your ideas stick. He thinks everybody who wants to improve their communication, and they're lives should check out both of those books.   What Matt is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something that's he's excited about, Matt shared that he's very, very excited about the podcast he host Think Fast, Talk Smart, he's dedicating a lot of his time and resources to expanding and extending the communication best practices and tips that they share through experts. He believes it helps him become a better person, a better communicator and he certainly thinks it helps everybody. So, he's excited in the new year to put a lot of effort into that.    Me: Perfect. Okay, thank you for sharing Matt. We'll also have a link to Matt's podcast in the episode show notes as well, for anyone that would like to tap into Matt's podcast and gain some more insight on being a better communicator.   Where Can We Find Matt Online LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maabrahams Website – www.mattabrahams.com   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Matt Uses When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Matt shared that it's a quote that he heard first in a silly movie, a movie called Buckaroo Banzai. And then he says he's showing his age, because it's many, many, many years ago. He knows it didn't come from this movie, but the quote is simple, “No matter where you go, there you are.”  And he often can live in the future, he can be worried and thinking about future consequences, what comes next. And he has learned that something that can help ground him is simply to come back to the present and say, no matter where you go, there you are, deal with what's coming on in front of you and that's how we get things moving forward. So, that's one of his favourite quotes and one that helps him a lot.   Me: So, thank you so much, Matt, for taking time out of your very busy schedule, for hopping on this podcast and being so gracious in facilitating this interview when I reached out to you originally.

Working from home became the norm for millions of us around the globe during the Covid-19 pandemic, but now three years on some major employers are insisting on their employees returning to the office, for at least some part of the working week. The levels of working from home currently vary, depending on the country and its culture. The Netherlands are looking at legislation to allow employees the ability to work remotely, whilst in Japanese culture the preference for employees tends to be going into the office. So how do we navigate a future where both business and personnel needs are met to provide a good work life balance. This week on the Inquiry we're asking ‘Is work from home working?'
