There’s a lot of jargon when it comes to relationships in the professional world.
Networking, collaboration, client development, team-building events – all of these are simply another way of saying you’re attempting to build a lasting, meaningful, and trust-filled connections.
But as important as getting along with others is to…well, everything… this week’s conversation was a good reminder of why working on our relationships often starts by working on ourselves first.
My guest this week is corporate relationship expert, Paula Quinsee.
Long before Covid threw a wrench into the concept of work-place culture, Paula was stressing the need for companies to invest in their employees on the personal level so that they could better contribute on the professional level.
Paula has been a TEDX speaker who is sought out by companies big and small to facilitate and implement new strategies for finding balance in all areas both inside and outside the office.
In 2009 she founded Engaged Humans which aims to bring employees and leaders together so they can achieve a growth-mindset in all areas of business - and this all starts with building lasting, trusting, relationships.
She is also the author of two books, “Embracing Conflict” and her most recent book, “Embracing No,” which aims help eliminate the guilt too often associated with self-care.
We discuss how to make the word “No” into a full sentence, why understanding someone’s past is key to working with them in the present, and how leaders can protect their most important asset – their Team.
Enjoy the show!
