How is the intersection of technology and human experience reshaping our workplaces? In this episode, we explore the dynamic evolution of work environments, where technology and human-centric practices are becoming increasingly intertwined. You'll hear about leveraging technology to create more inclusive and equitable workplaces, simplifying work processes through AI, and shifting the focus from productivity to impact.  Stela Lupushor is the founder of Reframe.Work Inc. She is also Program Director for the Strategic Workforce Planning and Talent Management Councils, as well as the Human Capital Analytics Institute Senior Fellow shaping the research agenda of the Conference Board. She offers a unique blend of expertise in her latest co-authored book, "Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace."

Episode Highlights Insights on technology's immediate impact in today's work environment. Strategies for effective, real-time workplace measurements. Tips on reducing workplace friction to boost productivity and well-being. Understanding the importance of everyday moments in employee retention. Recognizing the power of addressing small, individual workplace challenges. Balancing employee privacy with organizational needs. Redesigning workspaces for mental health and improved focus. Stela's view on the greatest unmet wellbeing need at work today  “From a well-being perspective, [it's] the need to interact with an organization that is not designed to work around us. We look at the technology stack as something that IT managers manage, and it's all about cost containment and making it secure. And that comes at a cost of a lot of compliance training, not to say that none of that is necessary; it's very important. But it's more compliance-driven than experience-driven.  When we think about the physical workspace, it's again designed to minimize the costs and maximize the number of people that can fit within a square foot. And not necessarily designed to have the environment work around us for what we need, whether we have a permanent or temporary disability, whether we need quiet space at that specific time of the day. And with the combination of both digital world and physical world, we increasingly live in that in-between, regardless of what work you do, there's bound to be technology involved.  So, redesigning that experience, to allow us to seamlessly move through it without having context switching and friction points and forgotten passwords, inaccessible devices, will reduce the mental health impact, mental taxing in dramatic ways and really leave space for us to do the focused work or whatever it is that makes sense for us as humans at that time.” What "working with humans" means to Stela “It is about creating the environment where people can truly maximize their human potential at work. I don't believe that there are bad people for jobs. I don't believe there are bad jobs for people; I believe there's a mismatch. So, the more we can think through the lens of what are the superpowers of this individual, or what are the superpowers they would like to have, and how we can create that environment for them to thrive? I think that's when organizations succeed. That's when individuals are loyal and bring their full potential. That's when the economy benefits, and that's when families at home benefit as well. So, it's a net positive.” Resources Follow: Stela on LinkedIn Read: Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace For more episodes that give you fresh perspectives and actionable ideas for making working with other humans better for everyone, visit our website at https://en.peoplefocusconsulting.com/resources/podcast/ ©Michael Glazer

A Nasty Piece of Work: The Art of Dissident Feminists is the world's first and only “TERF” Art show, featuring 14 female artists, all of whom have been canceled due to gender ideology. Its curator and organizer is J. Berns, an activist, mother, art lover, and upstanding badass. She talks about how her gallery was vandalized the day after the show's successful opening; the difficulties of living in the Bay Area if you hold gender critical views; TERF money; ways women are not allowed their own language; how terrorists increasingly dictate speech; and hot pink blood. Wait until the end for her descriptions of the amazing works in the show, which runs until October 15 in San Francisco, and could even come to a city near you if you help make it happen!

For as long as work has existed, new technologies have been a double edged sword for the workforce, making some jobs easier to do and making others obsolete. With data collection, computer processing, automation, and generative AI being implemented daily within our workforce, this issue has never been more apparent than today. Educators and authors Dr. Anna Tavis and Stela Lupushor are at the forefront of the fight for human capital, to make sure that technology is set to enhance the worker experience, not to replace it. Dr. Anna Tavis is Clinical Professor and Academic Director of Human Capital Management Department at NYU School of Professional Studies, Senior Fellow with the Conference Board, and the Academic in Residence with Executive Networks. She is a former Executive Editor of People+Strategy Journal, a publication of SHRM's Executive network and is currently an Associate Editor of Workforce Solutions Review of IHRIM. Stela Lupushor is an Adjunct Faculty Adjunct Faculty at the NYU School of Professional Studies. She is also a Senior Fellow in Human Capital Center and the Program Director for The Conference Board Strategic Workforce Planning Council, and leads Reframe.Work Inc. where she consults on how to create inclusive workplaces through the use of technology, human-centered design, people analytics, and future-thinking. Previously Stela consulted at Fidelity Investments, TIAA, IBM, Price Waterhouse, and PwC Consulting.  Together, the pair have combined their vast amount of experience in the HR world to write their book, Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace where they've compiled all their strategies on how to develop a human centric workforce that uses technology to help improve their people, and ultimately, the way they do business. This is another podcast you're not going to want to miss, especially with stories about the impact of AI dominating the headlines almost everyday, so with that…let's bring it in!

In this enlightening episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the world of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) with esteemed guest Mary Cianni, a senior M&A practitioner and seasoned adjunct faculty. The central theme of our discussion orbits around the critical yet sometimes underappreciated role of culture within the M&A landscape. Despite being a core component of any M&A transaction, culture often finds itself sidelined due to a hyper-focus on financial aspects and pressing timelines. This negligence can lead to significant challenges during the integration phase, particularly when dealing with organizations boasting strong, unique cultures. This becomes particularly emotional for employees who value their workplace culture and are reluctant to relinquish it. Through various anecdotes and case studies, Mary illuminates the potential complexities of integrating culturally dissimilar companies. One case discussed involves the unification of a top-down, command-and-control company with a consensus-driven organization, which presents unique management dynamics. Mary also underscores the significance of conducting cultural assessments within organizations. These assessments, she notes, not only offer valuable insights into the company's culture but also reinforce its importance to employees who appreciate their voices being heard. She suggests the use of pulse surveys, executive interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic approaches as effective methods for gaining a comprehensive understanding of a company's culture. Join us in this compelling conversation as we explore the intricate relationship between culture and M&A transactions, and the crucial role it plays in the success of such ventures. ----- About Mary Cianni: • Experienced Consultant and Educator with a demonstrated history of working in the organization consulting industry and higher education. Expert in Corporate Transactions and Organizational Transformation with a focus on leadership and culture • Has worked with several well-recognized companies including Korn Ferry, Willis Towers Watson • Adjunct Faculty at NYU ------- Hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Anirvan Sen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fifth Chrome⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Anahita Sen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Co-Facilitator of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fifth Chrome⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcasts ------- This interview is part of a series run by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fifth Chrome⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an business strategy advisory, and training company specializing in M&A, Integration, and Business Transformations. ------- Books mentioned: Melissa Swift: Work here now Anna Tavis and Stela Lupushor: Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace

Did you know that over 80% of the world's employees are disengaged at work? That figure is both enormous and depressing. Unfortunately, too many workplaces can be a mediocre environment — the kind of environment that saps people's spirit, engagement, motivation and life. That's why I'm thrilled to talk to Ron Friedman, PhD, the author of The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace. In this conversation we explore: The three human psychological needs required for a great work experience Why Employee of the Month awards are disincentives The barriers to organizational change The impact of design and setting on employee interaction

Persuasive storytelling creates extraordinary opportunities, allowing us to engage with customers and partners in a meaningful way.  But how do we craft a memorable story that connects with our professional goals? What does it mean for leaders to let the story do the work? Esther Choy is the President and Chief Story Facilitator at Leadership Story Lab, a consulting firm that celebrates the art and science of storytelling as an essential element of business success.  Esther also teaches in the executive education programs at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, and she is the author of Let the Story Do the Work: The Art of Storytelling for Business Success. On this episode of Workplace Forward, Esther joins me to discuss the three levels of communication mastery outlined in her book, describing what differentiates proving from persuading and why effective leaders need to do both. Esther explores how her research around wealth creators and experience with family-owned companies informs her work in storytelling for business. Listen in to understand why the best storytellers are also story collectors and learn to share persuasive, personal stories without divulging your private business. Themes explored in this week's episode: Esther's 3 levels of communication mastery (and why most people get stuck in Level 2) How self-awareness + an event with a deadline can catalyze us to Level 3 Communication Mastery What differentiates proving from persuading and how effective leaders do both How Esther is integrating wealth creators into her work around business storytelling What Esther learned about first-generation ultra-high-net-worth individuals from her research for ‘Transforming Partnerships with Major Donors' How family-owned businesses differ from other companies The connection between being a good storyteller and a story collector What senior leaders struggle with when it comes to storytelling How Esther's own leadership has changed in the last 2 years Delineating the difference between sharing what is personal vs. what is private  Why Esther encourages leaders to waste time doing something unproductive Resources from this episode:  Read along with this Workplace Forward Podcast episode's text transcript Learn more about Esther's work at leadershipstorylab.com  Follow Esther on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook or Instagram Subscribe to Leadership Story Lab on YouTube Read Esther's column in Forbes  Buy a copy of Esther's book, Let the Story Do the Work Listen to the Family IN Business Podcast Download Esther's research study, ‘Transforming Partnerships with Major Donors'  Explore the NPR piece on Dollywood Listen to Esther's interviews with Chris Herschend and Robert Pasin Register for Esther's monthly Story Lab I would love to hear from you!

Most people want to have a great life and do great work. But we are told that the way to achieve legendary results is either to have talent, or “practice” 10,000 hours a day. In this episode of Follow Your Different, Dr. Ron Friedman talks about a different, more proven way to achieve greatness that even mere mortals can embrace. Dr. Ron Friedman is a PhD and award-winning Social Psychologist. He is the author of the no.1 bestseller called Decoding Greatness. In this episode, we go deep on how you can decode greatness. We also discuss what legends before us have done using their approaches, models, and thinking to turbocharge our lives, our success, and our ability to make a difference. Dr. Ron Friedman on Decoding Greatness Dr. Friedman talks about his new book, Decoding Greatness and where he got the idea for it. His first book, The Best Place to Work, focused on giving people access to the best research on what it takes to perform at the highest levels and create a great workplace. Though Dr. Friedman felt that there was something missing in his first book. He figured that even within a top-performing business or team, there's still a range of performance levels. Some people are top performers, while some are still great but not at that level yet. “In this book, Decoding Greatness, I was curious about what is it that top performers are doing differently. And what I discovered is that they're using a method that most people don't talk about. And yet it is far more common than we recognize.” – Dr. Ron Friedman What We were Led to Believe Dr. Friedman comments that there are two main stories that we are told about when it comes to achieving the highest levels. One of which is that it takes talent to do so, that you have to be born with certain strengths. You then have to match your talents to the appropriate fields that allow those strengths to shine. Then there's the big story about Practice. You know the one: 10,000 hours, practice, practice, practice. You have to exert yourself and have the right practice to be able to succeed. Though according to Dr. Friedman, there is a third story that people don't often talk about. “There's a third story and people don't often talk about it. Yet it is remarkably common from entrepreneurs to inventors. to marketers. And that approach is reverse engineering, which simply means finding extraordinary examples in your field. By taking them apart, working backward, and figuring out how they were created, you can then apply those lessons to create something entirely new.” – Dr. Ron Friedman Turning the Gap to a Learning Experience There are those who say that those who perform at the top level are there because of their talents. Which can be insulting to all the work that person has also done to achieve his goals. Sometimes, people forget that even those who have certain advantages need to work their butts off to achieve greatness. Dr. Friedman chooses to view it from another angle. He explains that if you apply Reverse Engineering on these extraordinary people and their achievements, you can turn it into a guideline for yourself. “When you look at extraordinary performances through the lens of reverse engineering, you'll have a different perspective. That different perspective is, “what can I learn from this? How can I improve my game through unpacking the methodologies and strategies that they are applying?” So now that emotion, which would have been negative and uncomfortable and probably unhelpful in a way, I can turn that into a positive emotion and apply it to new learnings and insights, because now I have a mechanism by which to understand how he succeeded.” – Dr. Ron Friedman To hear more from Dr. Ron Friedman and how to Decode Greatness and become a top performer, download and listen to this episode.

You all know how much I love an action plan! So, when I found the 90X Goal Planner designed to help you outline an action plan to achieve 5 goals in 90 days, I decided to invite the creator and CEO of 90X - ALoN DaviD - onto our show. In this episode, he shares how he came from Tel Aviv with only $1800 in his pocket and became an $6-figure++ entrepreneur who now helps people get focused and into action to achieve their goals using his planner and by joining his exclusive 90X community. Episode Highlights: *Inspirational Stories *Entrepreneurial Mindset *Business Scaling *Are you an entrepreneur or a CEO? *How to Create Goals that Work *The Art of Delegation *Core Fundamentals of Goal Setting ALoN's Top 3 Max Potential Habits: 1. Being Productive 2. Understand Core Values 3. Understand Why You're Procrastinating Links to ALoN: http://bit.ly/NFA90XPlanner Discount Code: PotentialHabits25 (25% Discount) IG: https://www.instagram.com/90XGoalPlanner FB: https://www.facebook.com/90XGoalPlanner ALoN's Bio: ALoN DaviD, founder and CEO of 90x, arrived in America without any business leads connections. He had no university network or promising internships. ALoN didn't even have a solid business idea. But he did have ambition. He had drive. He had the dream to make something of his life. So while going to school full-time, ALoN decided to get a job working construction for $5.25 per hour. Yet he knew that just getting a degree wasn't enough, so instead of waking up each day complaining of his situation, ALoN decided he needed to set a goal to keep him focused on his dreams. The only problem was that there weren't any quality goal-planners or systems out there. So ALoN decided to create his own system that could take a minimum-wage job and turn it into an opportunity. Inspired to further test his goal-system, ALoN decided in 2010 to start a photography business from scratch. Within a year, the photography business became a 6-figure side-gig and that was when ALoN knew that his 90x goal-system was something special. Looking to help others effectively set and achieve goals, ALoN put together the first 90x goal-planner. Now, if you've ever shopped around for a planner, you know that there are to-do planners, there are planners to help you schedule, there are planners that act more like diaries, but 90x is the first planner to incorporate all of the essential goal-setting elements into one complete system. So if you're looking for a planner that can act as a to-do list, while also serving as a space where you can jot down any thoughts or ideas, no problem. With each day having at least two-full pages, you could even write out motivational quotes to keep you inspired.

Mangrove forests are natural protectors, shielding coasts from storms, sheltering species, and soaking up carbon. Reversing the decline of these habitats isn’t just a science—it’s an art, says marine biologist Octavio Aburto. He uses his camera along with high-resolution satellite imagery to assess real-time changes in mangrove coverage—and to reveal the amazing hidden marine life of these critical ecosystems.

I read a compelling new book by Esther K. Choy titled "Let the Story Do the Work: The Art of Storytelling for Business Success." In her own way, Choy independently applied the kind of storytelling suggestions I found so useful in Thau’s presentation and put them in an easy-to-access book form for business leaders. She breaks it all down, step-by-step, and even diagrams her methods. If you make any kind of presentations at work, I think you can learn something from Choy and her book.

Founder and president of the Chicago-based Leadership Story Lab, Esther Choy coaches managers and executives in storytelling techniques and teaches in the executive education programs at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. In her debut book, Let the Story Do the Work: The Art of Storytelling for Business Success, Choy makes a powerful case for the potential of storytelling as a tool to elevate business communication from autopilot exchanges, to authentic, compelling conversations that can inspire shareholders, win customers and advance careers.

~The Simple Sophisticate, episode #172 ~Subscribe to The Simple Sophisticate: iTunes | Stitcher | iHeartRadio "For me, style is zee whole package: how you dress, talk, move and behave. It all goes together into that first-impression equation. It shouldn't be confused with chic; an extremely chic or well-dressed woman may have zero sense of style. Style is definitely more about who the person is inside. Confidence and individuality are two strong assets for developing your personal style. Can it be taught? To a certain extent, yes, but at the end of the day it has to do a lot with being bien dans sa peau, knowing thyself and having balance in one's life." —Mireille Guiliano, Women, Work & the Art of Savoir Faire With a new season of clothing and a new season at work as we all return from rest and relaxation, some of us from travels, some of us simply from a lighter schedule or at least different one as we work with everyone else's change of schedules during the summer months. As is the case, the shift provides an opportunity to reassess, restructure, edit and start fresh or press restart. Mireille Guiliano is often a woman I look to for inspiration when it comes to living well and finding success in a career in equal proportion. In her book Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire, she speaks to the goal of attaining one's unique style and therefore presence as we go about our work days, meeting potential clients, customers or fellow colleagues. Inspired by the quote above, I created my own list of prepping for September as I too will be heading back into my teaching schedule and always am I re-examining how to refine my way of living to elevate the quality as summer ends and fall begins. So often summer provides an opportune time to reflect, recharge, reassess what is and isn't working and come to the end of August with ideas. Let's take a look at six ways to refine your Style: 1. Select and keep quality As was discussed last Thursday with Helen Raptis on AM Northwest regarding curating a Capsule Wardrobe, when we welcome quality we save ourselves time and money in the long run as well as elevate our confidence as we have selected items that work best with our bodies and lifestyle. As well, selecting quality comes into play when we select our words, select the food we enjoy, select the people we welcome into our inner circle, select how we spend our free time. I will admit I need my television show GGTD on Bravo from time to time to unwind and just tune out, but I also have a news magazine to read, PBS saved as one of my favorite channels and a book offering knowledge I hadn't yet absorbed. Today, examine your life. Where is the quality and what is standing in its way? What feeds you in a way that lifts you up, reinvigorates you and cultivates enthusiasm to live and live well? Sometimes things, people, ways of thinking enter our mind over a period of time, months, etc. that as we contemplate them, do not serve us well. It's hard to notice at first because it's gradual, but over time, we can compare the before and after and recognize a decline in the quality of our energy, excitement, hope, health or anything that we wish to strengthen. Look where you feel depleted and ask why. Often the answer is to eliminate something that is no longer acting in a way that is elevating the quality of your life and unfortunately minimizing it. 2. Be honest about your body As Mireille reminds in her book, nobody's body is perfect. Nobody's. But often we berate ourselves for not being what we hope we might look like. Find what you love about your physique. If you notice something you can improve that would enhance your health, create a plan and approach to make the changes you seek; otherwise and/or in the meantime, adorn your body so that you love what you wear and therefore you radiate a self-confidence that is inviting and engaging. Tweaking your capsule wardrobe closet will take time, but add one quality blouse that works with at least two other items you already have will give you two more outfits that make you look and feel your best. ~On Friday September 1st, TSLL Fall 2017 Shopping Guide will go live here on the blog. 3. Own your style and celebrate the uniqueness of others As I shared in this post a few months ago, our signature style will continue to evolve. However, upon knowing and feeling confident in the style you have chosen for your body, lifestyle and personality, you can step into each morning with confidence and celebrate, rather than mimic or feel envious of others'. I admire Meghan Markle's style on USA's Suits. Her slim frame, just-below-the-knee pencil skirts and neatly tucked cashmere sweaters. And while I draw inspiration for ideas on what to pair with my signature style, I celebrate her physique and recognize I have a more muscular frame. The beauty of loving your own style is that you are more open and celebratory of others not only in what they wear, but what they do. We liberate ourselves from unnecessary loss of energy when we do not dwell on what we aren't but rather embrace what we are and what we know we can be as we look for inspiration. 4. Find time to be well Your life requires healthy fuel in order for you to reach your optimal potential. Such healthy fuel comes in the form of a restful, deep night's sleep in a bed that beckons, cuddles and restores you; a mind that is given the tools to understand how to let go of what is not helpful; a day, each day, that is given time to breathe, moments to step away from expectations and catch your breathe, gather the proper perspective and return anew; exercise that excites, reduces stress and strengthens and cares for your body; ideas, art, information that broadens your mind and deepens your understanding of your role in it; and moments to engage with others in a way that is healthy, loving, playful and kind. As well, knowing what activities you can engage in that will reduce your stress when you find yourself overwhelmed is a tool to learn as there will be days when the unexpected happens. 5. Clarify your journey Why are you doing what you are doing? Why are you living the way you are living? What do you hope to cultivate in your everydays and in your future by going about your precious 24 hours the way you do? Are you spending your money in a way that supports your goals? Are you spending time working on projects that are meaningful to you and align with the person you know you are? Even if you already have your goals set, take a moment and check in. Sometimes simply by seeing how we are progressing, we can be jumpstarted as we see how close we are to our goals. 6. Believe in a better tomorrow, savor today No matter how wonderful or perhaps frustrating life may be right now, tomorrow has the potential to be beautifully bright. The key is how we approach our everydays. Have we cleared out the clutter and the weight that is holding us down, draining our energy and preventing us from being energized? If so, toss it and welcome the quality. What is our attitude? Do we need a mindset reboot? If so, seek out experts and books to help give you tools to reframe how you gaze at life. “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.” —Dhammapada, by Thomas Byrom Most importantly, is to recognize the beauty in the day you have right now. What is going well? Are you healthy? Are your loved ones healthy? As I type, Norman snores rhythmically and Oscar is snuggle by my side, the beautiful sky is calm with a hint of a breeze and there is food in the refrigerator. Maybe my heart is broken and maybe yours is too at this very moment, but there is so much to find goodness within if only we take time to look. Tomorrow will be better, but today can be quite sweet if we shift our perspective.   How we approach our days is the determining factor in the quality of our everydays. I consider those who have figured out how go about their days in such a way, style masters. It doesn't mean life won't throw them a curveball, it doesn't mean their clothing choices won't change as they move through the decades, but it does mean they adapt, stay centered, remain positive and resilient understanding the tools that are needed to be honed and strengthened always at the ready to be used to enhance the quality of their lives. My wish for you is that September begins on a most solid and sound footing. A beginning that offers hope, excitement and a beautiful fresh breath of goodness to savor and multiple as you appreciate what you have and radiate that goodness to those around you. ~SIMILAR POSTS FROM THE ARCHIVES YOU MIGHT ENJOY: ~Why Not . . .

Savor the Last Days of Summer?   Petit Plaisir: Chamomile Flowers Recently while stopping into my local Trader Joe's, I picked up a bundle of Chamomile flowers (see below - bottom left of the image). I was delighted as I hadn't seen such a flower in the store before and found the subtle scent ideal for the summer home decor. For fewer than five dollars, I picked it up and have been enjoying the bouquet in my house for over 10 days now. And the goodness of the Chamomile just gets better. As many of you know, I enjoy a cup of black tea at the end of the day, and if I haven't enjoyed dessert, a dark chocolate truffle. However, I know that not everyone can tolerate caffeinated tea before bed, so I wanted to suggest Chamomile tea and the recipe to make your own at home. With either dried (2 tablespoons) or fresh (4 tablespoons), make tea as you normally would. As you will read in the article linked below for the recipe, while not all health benefits have been scientifically proven or confirmed in recent decades, these health benefits include aid in reducing an upset stomach, anxiety, and even a way of promoting sleep. ~recipe for Chamomile Tea (fresh or dried flowers) ~TSLL Audio Book is Now Available ~View and Listen to more episodes of The Simple Sophisticate podcast here.

The numbers are alarming.  A 2015 Gallup poll found nearly 70% of U.S. employers say they're either bored or disengaged at work.   The cost to employers has been put at more than $500 billion in lost productivity. The cost to workers is incalculable - in human misery, unnecessary stress and lost opportunity.   Workplace psychologist Ron Friedman is the author of "The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace." Ron says there's an astonishing gap between the latest science and most the modern workplace.  He has some great tips for both employers and employees.     Ron's solutions for employers: An engaged workforce is more creative, focused and stay with their company for a long period time.

Today on Trend Following Radio Michael Covel interviews Ron Friedman. Ron is an award winning social psychologist that specializes in human motivation. He is author of “The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Work Place.” His book consists of over 1,000 academic studies that have been boiled down.Michael and Ron start talking about factors that contribute to employee dissatisfaction. Ron says there are three main needs that we, as humans, need fulfilled: Competence, relatedness, and autonomy. There is clear evidence showing that when you have happy workers, you have a much more productive company. Free snacks and coffee, for example, make workers feel more at ease and productive in their workplace. Michael then asks, “How do you define a ‘workplace’.” Ron says that work use to be just confined to an office. Now a workplace could be anywhere you have a cellphone connection. Michael then asks, “How do you create success in the workplace?” Giving employees the opportunity to fail is one way to create success. However, it is the risk taking chances that are encouraged, not failure due to incompetence or laziness. Failure helps you learn and to improve for the next time. That is how you get a creative and innovative team. Getting in the habit of physically writing down what you learned from your failures is a great exercise to help you move forward and grow.Michael and Ron then move on to the idea of flow in the workplace. Flow is the moment where you are so enthralled with the work you are doing that you forget time. Flow is more common in work then we realize. Video games are a great example of providing a flow experience. Video games give us immediate feedback, immediate recognition, and they provide progressive difficulty. Unfortunately most work environments are structured opposite of this thinking. 80% of people are not engaged at their work. Not being properly challenged is one reason for lack of engagement.Michael and Ron talk about actionable steps to make a workplace better. Ron says that our physical surroundings affect our mindset greatly. Ceiling height affects your level of creativity, and personalizing your work space makes you more comfortable. He discovered that employees that sit by a window focus better and do better at their job. You can predict how satisfied employees are by the amount of daylight they are exposed to. Afternoon naps are another great tool. We have a biological need for rest that is just as pressing as our need for food or water. If we re-stock our brains with a 20 minute nap, it increases productivity. On the same note, the food you take in and how much you exercise affects how you think. It puts you in a better mood, helps you collaborate better with others, and go home feeling more satisfied. This is critical to employees long-term engagement. Michael and Ron finish up asking “How do you see the workplace unfolding into the future?” In this episode of Trend Following Radio: Flow in the Workplace Creating a good work space Disconnecting from work after hours Creating balance in your life Importance of exercise and naps

The numbers are alarming. A recent Gallup says that less than one-third of American workers are engaged in their jobs. Millions of employees are either bored or completely fed up. In addition to the human misery this causes dysfunctional workplaces damage businesses and harm the economy.
