Podcasts about workplaces

Hey everyone, Jamie here with another episode of "Oh Crap with Jamie," and this week, we're diving back into the topic of hormones—but it's not just about the hormones. After noticing some heated discussions about parenting teenagers versus younger kids, I've decided to expand on our understanding of different parenting stages. Remember the crucial shifts from governing to guiding as our kids grow? That's what we're unpacking today. We'll explore why the teenage years might seem daunting and how shifting our parenting approach can make a significant difference. I'm also delving into the broader issues facing women today, particularly around healthcare disparities and the often overwhelming pressure of managing perimenopause. Join me as we break down these complex topics with the aim to empower and inform. Don't miss out on a blend of tough love, practical advice, and some heartfelt discussions on navigating these challenging yet transformative stages of life.(00:09:11) "Empowering Wellness through Personal Experimentation"(00:12:47) Advocacy for Women's Hormonal Health Rights(00:15:39) Hormonal Cycle Productivity Optimization in Workplaces(00:19:52) Generational Misalignment: Parenting Through Menopause(00:23:18) Navigating Midlife Through Perimenopause Transition(00:31:01) "Muscle Building for Insulin Regulation and Health"(00:34:34) "Embracing Physical Transformation during Menopause"(00:37:19) Gradual Weightlifting Progress for Menopausal Fitness(00:38:48) Gradually Increasing Weights for Muscle Growth(00:49:55) Sprint Intervals for Optimal Hormonal Health(00:57:41) Optimizing Hormonal Balance Through Nutrition Tracking(01:11:53) Adrenal Health Through Lifestyle Adjustments⁠Jamie's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Oh Crap!

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! This time, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Quenby Rubin-Sprague, a seasoned professional in the healthcare industry with over 35 years of experience. Starting as a registered dietitian nutritionist, Quenby's journey led her to medical sales and eventually into corporate training and development, where she found her passion for coaching and making impactful changes within healthcare teams. In this episode, Quenby delves into her career evolution, highlighting the importance of happiness and fulfillment both at work and beyond. She shares insights into how she cultivated resilience and mental fitness in challenging clinical environments, especially amidst high-stress situations. They discuss how healthcare professionals can enhance their communication skills, create a shared reality, and build trust within teams, even when organizational changes are slow to come. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a practice manager, or part of a clinical team, this episode offers valuable perspectives on sustaining happiness and effectiveness in the face of inevitable challenges. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Empower with Empathy: Understanding our colleagues' and patients' perspectives can create a shared reality based on trust and respect. This not only enhances patient experience but also contributes to a more cohesive team environment. Practice Self-Empathy: As much as we focus on empathy for others, it's crucial to nurture self-empathy. Recognizing that we can't control everything and focusing on self-care can help maintain our own well-being amidst the chaos. Cultivate Mental Fitness: Building resilience through mental fitness allows us to handle the pressures of healthcare more effectively. This involves acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of our day and choosing to focus on growth and joy.

In this episode of the Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata welcomes Sri Chellappa, President and Co-Founder of Engagedly, a performance management software company, and also a passionate entrepreneur, filmmaker, musician, and people leader. He is the host of "The People Strategy Leaders" podcast, discussing the concept of ikigai and its application in creating meaningful workplaces. Ikigai, a Japanese philosophy is centred on finding purpose and can be adapted for organisational use. Sri outlines the interaction of skills, desires, and organisational goals, forming what he calls the "blue zone" where individuals find fulfillment and contribute effectively. Andy and Sri look at the importance of workplace culture, emphasising that even if an individual aligns with the first three circles (skills, desires, and goals), a toxic culture can hinder success. Sri introduces the idea of a fourth circle—engagement and culture—that encompasses all the others, ensuring alignment between personal and organisational values. Sri draws from his experience as a tech entrepreneur and filmmaker to illustrate how leaders can foster environments where employees feel empowered and trusted. The episode explores challenges like red zones, where individuals may possess only one or none of the desired traits, leading to dissatisfaction and inefficiency. Sri discusses how rapid advancements, such as AI, push employees into these zones, necessitating continuous learning and adaptation. Sri's book, "Into the Blue: Implementing Ikigai Philosophy to Create a Meaningful Workplace", serves as both a theoretical framework and a practical tool, featuring a workbook to assess team alignment with Ikigai principles. What We Discussed: Ikigai Framework : Finding purpose through the combination of skills, desires, and organisational goals, creating a "blue zone" where individuals feel fulfilled and contribute effectively to their organisations. Blue Zones & Community: Workplace culture should foster connections to combat isolation and enhance engagement. Leadership Responsibility : Leaders play a critical role in shaping organisational culture. Their behaviours set the tone for how employees interact, empowering teams or perpetuating toxic environments. Decentralised Decision-Making: Sri advocates for decentralised decision-making to promote ownership and collaboration across departments.

The Trump administration quietly removed a decades-old rule requiring federal contractors to ban segregated workspaces, such as separate bathrooms, cafeterias, and other facilities based on race, gender, or national origin. Companies that want government contracts no longer have to prove they do not separate employees in ways that would have been illegal under the old rule. If you wanted taxpayer dollars, you had to commit to equal treatment in the workplace. A memo from the General Services Administration, which oversees federal contracts, ordered agencies like the Department of Defense to strip this clause from new and existing contracts. Some might argue that businesses still have to follow federal anti-discrimination laws. So what is the big deal? The problem is that removing this contract rule makes enforcement harder. Before, federal agencies had leverage—if a company violated anti-segregation rules, it could lose its government contract. Now, the government has given up that power.

We've created a system of fictional generational boxes that don't exist in reality. "Boomer," "Gen X," "Millennial" - arbitrary labels with zero scientific basis. Yet we use them daily to dismiss, categorize, and stereotype people who were simply born during a random year span. The cost?  Innovation stifled.  Talent wasted.  Workplaces poisoned. The coming demographic shift (longer lives, fewer births) will expose this charade. The winners will be those who see people, not labels. The question isn't which generation you belong to. It's whether you'll perpetuate the myth or break it. In this fierce conversation with Sheila Callaham, Executive Director & Board Chair | Global Educator | Forbes Contributor We break down:  The Great Age Label Myth The arbitrary boxes assume people think identically because they were born within 15-20 year spans. We'd never accept this for race or gender – why tolerate it for age? The Demographic Time Bomb Leaders remain dangerously oblivious: people are living longer while birth rates plummet. The talent pool is shrinking, yet organizations continue discarding experienced workers. This talent sustainability crisis will explode within five years. The Longevity Revolution The Age Equity Alliance's Longevity Mindset Index measures how "future-ready" companies are through employee perceptions.  The Action Plan Recognize when age-based assumptions infiltrate conversations Call it out – respectfully but firmly Focus on skills and competencies, not birth years Ask people what they want rather than assuming based on age   For more information, visit ageequityalliance.org or connect with Sheila Callaham on LinkedIn.

Catching up with some designers leading the way for workplace transformation at the Workspace Design Show in February this year, we learnt that there are more and more designers championing biophilic design as more than just a trend—it's a critical response to human well-being and environmental sustainability.Gurvinder Khurana from M Moser Associates cuts to the heart of the matter: "We are over 70% water, and [nature] resonates with us." This sentiment echoes throughout the conversation, revealing biophilic design as a profound connection between human experience and natural environments.The designers unanimously agree that workspaces are no longer just functional spaces, but essential ecosystems that directly impact mental health and productivity. Nikos Papapetrou from Sheppard Robson provocatively argues that sustainability isn't just about materials, but "how you make people feel."Kael Gillam, Senior Associate for Hoare Lea, and a lighting designer, offers a radical perspective: her job is essentially to compel people outdoors. "I want you to go out at lunch. I want you to wake up in the morning and open your blinds," she explains, emphasizing that true design should reconnect humans with natural rhythms.Emma Douglas from Ryder Interiors highlights the nuanced approach, noting that biophilic design isn't just about adding plants, but creating "smooth forms" and calm environments that inherently make people feel better.The most compelling narrative emerges around workplace evolution. As Martina Bazzoni, also of M Moser Associates, passionately states, good design is about "investigating how people feel in the space" and creating environments where employees don't want to leave their company.Ashton Holmes from Peldon Rose shares a delightful anecdote about designing a client's bathroom with a moss "jungle" ceiling and a disco ball—proving that biophilic design can be both functional and playfully innovative.The designers unanimously view their work as a critical intervention. As Govinder succinctly puts it, "If you want to be a profitable business, you need to invest in your people and the space they're in."The interview reveals biophilic design as an holistic approach addressing mental health, sustainability, and human-centric workplace experiences. It's not just about aesthetics, but about creating spaces that nurture, inspire, and reconnect humans with the natural world.In an era of increasing disconnection, these designers are painting a hopeful picture—quite literally. When asked what they'd do with a "magic paintbrush," their responses ranged from reforesting the Amazon to recreating community spaces and designing immersive, nature-integrated environments.As workplaces continue to evolve post-pandemic, this conversation suggests a profound shift: design is no longer about creating spaces, but about crafting experiences that fundamentally support human potential.The future of work, it seems, is green, thoughtful, and wonderfully alive.For more information on Workspace Design Show, visit https://workspaceshow.co.ukMaybe we'll see you at their Amsterdam show? https://workspaceshow.nlIf you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

In a world drowning in quick scrolls and shallow connections, how do we truly understand love and personal growth? In this episode of The True Love Knots Podcast, Maria sits down with June Dillinger, creator of Heart Cards, to explore how a simple card draw can transform relationships, workplace culture, and personal growth. June shares how her father's disability shaped her journey and inspired her to create atool that helps people pause, listen, and connect on a deeper level. She explains why true love and understanding start with intentional reflection and how Heart Cards are more than just a deck—they're a bridge to self-awarenessand meaningful connections. If you're ready to open your heart, this episode is for you. Standout Quotes:·        “The more I share my talents and gifts with others, the more I have for myself.” ·        “If we can let our heart lead, miracles will happen.”·        “Aloha is ‘alo,' meaning life, and ‘ha,' meaning breath. So, when you say aloha, you're sharing the breath of life.”·        “When we pause and look at our mate, neighbor, dog, or someone we might be angry with, just pause.

BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! Today, we're talking about something so many of us wrestle with—separating who we are from what we do. It can be easy to think that your worth is tied to your job title or how hard you're working, but really your identity is not your job. You are worthy of all the wonderful things life has to offer, simply because of who you are—not what you achieve.Separating work from identity can be freeing. Inspired by my book Slow Living, I explore how to detach from the pressures of defining ourselves by our careers. JL Collins talks about The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, in his book The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins. It reinforces this idea—retirement isn't an age, but a financial equation that can create more freedom in your life. Workplaces can feel like a second home but it's important to remember that work and colleagues are separate from your actual life . True belonging comes from the family and close friends who truly know, love, and support you. At the end of the day, your life happens outside of work, with the people who matter most.Want to go back and listen to more episodes like this one?

Hello Community! Beginning with a shout-out to National Women's Day on March 8th, and Ceasar Chavez Day on March 31st, I have quite a bit to share with you today.  For the past few years, the term "DEI" has carried both promise and pressure. It's been a rallying cry for progress, but in some spaces, it's become a political lightning rod. We are at a crossroads. At its core, this work isn't about checking boxes, establishing quotas, or maintaining compliance.  Retiring the term "DEI" does not mean walking away from the work. It means rewiring our approach.  This work is too important not to get right.  Let's do it together.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

As businesses become more commercial, focusing increasingly on revenue, profit margins, and operational efficiency, there is a hidden cost – one that is often ignored: the welfare of the very people who ensure that organizations function smoothly.

Are you the kind of boss employees want to follow — or the one they desperately avoid? Phillip B. Wilson, our guest this week, is a nationally recognized expert in leadership, labor relations, and fostering positive workplaces. As CEO and General Counsel of LRI Consulting Services, Wilson champions what he calls “Approachable Leadership.” His philosophy is simple: The more accessible and down-to-earth executives and frontline supervisors are, the more their businesses will thrive. Conversely, when leaders create a wide power gap between themselves and their employees, they risk driving away top talent or pushing workers toward unionization. Get an advanced look into Phil's upcoming book, The Leader-Shift Playbook (available now to preorder from Amazon), and hear why he believes that even the most unapproachable bosses can be transformed. You can't afford to miss this episode if you lead a team — whether you're a frontline manager, a C-Suite executive, or the owner of a business. BREAKING NEWS: On February 27th, HR Acuity, the enterprise leader in case management and investigations software, announced the partnership between its empowER™ community and Labor Relations Institute Consulting Services (LRICS) to launch a new professional segment specifically focused on labor relations.

https://jo.my/5k0dxz Promoting Positivity A positive work environment improves safety. Workers who feel valued and supported follow safety rules more carefully and help each other stay safe. Workplaces with good teamwork have fewer accidents and better communication about safety issues. Try these steps to create a positive work environment: Talk openly - Safety improves when workers trust each other. Let employees report problems and suggest improvements. People participate more when you listen to them. Build teamwork - Strong teams communicate well and help each other. Create a culture where workers share responsibility for safety. Give recognition - Thank employees who work safely. This keeps workers interested in maintaining safety standards. Make work enjoyable - Plan team activities and celebrate achievements. These events build relationships and encourage workers to protect each other. Respect boundaries - Keep workplace interactions appropriate and inclusive while building connections. Safety depends on people, not just rules. Respected employees work more safely and protect their colleagues. A positive workplace reduces stress, increases job satisfaction, and helps everyone maintain safety. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time—have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #PositiveWorkplace #WorkplaceCulture #Teamwork #EmployeeRecognition

Imagine if there was a way to help create supportive, stigma-free environments for people living with substance use and mental health conditions, especially in the workplace. The Rhode Island Recovery-Friendly Workplace Initiative aims to do just that. Jeffrey Wolfsberg, program director for the Recovery-Friendly Workplace Program at the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities, & Hospitals (BHDDH) joins Dr. Philip Chan in this episode to talk about how the initiative not only supports the workforce but can also boost a business's bottom line. 

In this special edition of The Evolving Workplace series, Wayne Turmel explores the three dominant work models that have emerged in the post-pandemic world: fully remote, fully in-office, and hybrid work. While the debate continues over which model is best, Wayne takes an objective look at the pros, cons, and realities of each approach. From cost savings and productivity in remote-first organizations to the structure and collaboration of in-office setups—and the often messy compromise of hybrid work—this episode dives deep into what works, what doesn't, and how leaders can make the best decisions for their teams. Key Takeaways: Remote-First Work: Allows for talent-first hiring without geographical constraints. Increases flexibility and engagement for self-motivated employees. Challenges: branding, measuring productivity, and maintaining team culture. In-Office Work: Facilitates faster communication and relationship-building. Provides structured onboarding and training. Challenges: high costs, limited hiring pool, and less flexibility. Hybrid Work: Offers flexibility employees want while maintaining some in-person collaboration. Challenges: scheduling complexities, proximity bias, and workspace inefficiencies. Wayne also discusses the impact of leadership experience, employee expectations, and how different industries must tailor their approach to work models.

Ever walked into work and felt a weight on your chest? That's what a toxic workplace does—it drains you, mentally and emotionally. Micromanaging bosses, gaslighting leaders, or environments where negativity thrives—it's exhausting. If your workplace leaves you questioning your worth, it's time to reevaluate. You are not your job. You deserve respect, balance, and a space that nurtures growth, not fear. Don't let a toxic boss dictate your self-worth. Set boundaries, protect your energy, and if needed, walk away. No job is worth your peace of mind. Stay strong. Stay empowered. This episode is dedicated to all the hard workers that struggle every day.
