On this episode, we unravel the concept of radical candour developed by Kim Scott. Radical candour isn't a tool as much as a commitment to authentic conversations that drive meaningful change.

Michelle Smith“My mission is to pick apart what women did who have succeeded – and success is defined by making it to the C-suite at these very, very large companies where the deck is stacked against her, but she still made it. And what I found is, these women, even if they don't call it positive emotion, tapped into positive emotion to make it through.” Join us in this conversation with executive coach and three-time best-selling author L. Michelle Smith as we delve into leadership dynamics, corporate culture and the power of authenticity around women, and partic...2023-11-1737 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastBaking DEI into Your Organization, with guest Maria MorukianEmbracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) isn't about isolated targets; it needs to be intertwined into every action we take as an organization.

On the one hand, when coaches work with a coachee sitting in front of us, we focus on that person and what they want do differently in their lives.

No, not fomo, the fear of missing out (not even jomo, the joy of missing out). We’re talking about FOFO: The Fear Of Finding Out. The fear of finding out what’s actually going on. The fear of finding out what’s actually going on rather than how it should be happening according to all of your policies and procedures and theories and rule books. As helpful as they’re meant to be, looking at those is not the same as gaining insight in...2023-06-2426 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastHow To Have Coach-Like ConversationsA great way to improve the quality – and effectiveness – of your conversations is to have more coach-like conversations. In this episode we give you five essential skills and tools that will change the quality of your conversations, your work communications and interactions. The simple fact is, if you treat people like children, they will behave like children but when you treat people knowing that they are naturally creative, resourceful and whole human beings that you know they are – and that they were hired to be – they’re going to behave very differently. ...2023-06-0235 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastNew Shapes of Masculinity, with guest Yaniv SheinIn a world where societal expectations for men – to be strong, confident, composed, capable – are still prevalent, it can be challenging to break away and courageously embrace authenticity. Life coach Yaniv Shein works mainly with men, facilitating men's groups for youth and adults. In this new episode he shares his philosophy on ‘what it means to be a man’ and the challenges men face in finding their path. A never-ending question that is always present and evolving. Yaniv shares his personal journey, reflecting on his childhood, when he and his group of friends...2023-05-1537 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastCreating Space to SpeakBe intentional about inviting everyone to speak in your group meetings and reap the reward. Yep, that’s the gist of this episode. It’s that simple. To help you start and keep doing this, we talk about how and why this works – and how to make it a habit. Work results are better when people get to introduce themselves: research shows that when medical team members introduce themselves by name in an operating room, this can reduce complications. It is not necessarily because people share their name, but becaus...2023-04-2131 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastNavigating the Post-Pandemic LandscapeAre you still feeling the lingering effects of the pandemic? We dive back into this topic as we noticed how much our earlier episode about Pandemic Fatigue still brings up for our listeners. We’re still finding our way, going from languishing to lingering. It may seem like we’re expected to go back to normal, but we can’t. We’re in a different place. It’s like we have dug a tunnel and come out on the other side to a different landscape. On the other side, it’s a different world. We put...2023-04-0326 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastChanging the Narrative, with guest Ruben BraveRuben Brave loves exploring the unknown, with a curiosity that drives him to a wide variety of places and an innate talent for generating visions for the future. His story involves serial tech entrepreneurship: having set up several tech companies across Europe, Ruben has always been ‘one of the geeks’ (and a Spider-Man fan). Another side of him is fatherhood, living in Amsterdam, with roots in a big Surinamese family – providing him with cultural capital and a spiritual background that he brings with him into work and business. Having spent...2023-03-1029 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastThe Sunk Cost of People PleasingHow do you distinguish between constructive behaviour and people pleasing? You may notice it in other people, and how they interact. And then there’s discerning your own people pleasing behaviour. People pleasing in teams can become a disadvantage because managers and team members don’t get the feedback and information that they need. Look at this as energy spent. Suppressing how you really feel ends up taking much more energy than dealing with saying no. Saying yes even when you don’t want to, because that seems just easier. Pushin...2023-01-2730 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastHow To Succeed at Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Work, with guest Sarah CordivanoWhen you’re the first DEI role in an organisation, not only are you starting a job from scratch, so is your employer: often they don’t yet understand what your role is. It’s not a plug and play situation but a new function inside an organisation without a lot of legacy to stand on. Moreover, expectations of what this work is like are often different than the reality – for both the DEI professional and the organisation. To share her own learnings, Sarah Cordivano wrote the book ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: How to suc...2023-01-0429 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastLeadership in Holiday MagicHoliday magic is made by women. The holiday season would be a lot less magical without the work that mostly women do to create it. In homes and in organisations, creating happiness for other people. It’s an additional mental load, without us realising that it is. At this time of year, most of us are dealing with end-of-year workload: having budget meetings, wrapping up performance reviews, aligning on 2023 strategy, plus lots happening in our social lives and personal lives. The dash to the end of the year. ...2022-12-1628 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastWhy Quiet Quitting Is Such a DragThis is what makes Quiet Quitting such a drag. People that Quietly Quit can become a huge slower-down of the change that you need in the current environment. A roadblock to collaboration, creativity, innovation and any forward momentum. But Quiet Quitting is not the problem. It points to something else that is the actual problem. Let us give you a fair perspective on quiet quitting. Why are people Quiet Quitting and why does that make sense, from their perspective? “Going above and beyond just ain’t wo...2022-12-0238 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastWhen Grief Enters the WorkplaceGrief will show up in your life, whether your own or for people around you – including people at work. That friendly sounding invitation to ‘bring your whole self to work’? It includes grief. Maaike Roseboom experienced a huge and sudden personal loss. Lisa was her HR manager at the time and they got to know each other at an intense level. Maaike’s personal journey dealing with grief and returning to work led her to making a difference for others going through this and becoming an expert speaker and advocate.

So many more people than usual are picking up on big shifts going on, beyond our day-to-day practical things. It can be a floating feeling of unease that signals those bigger picture developments, or specific things that weigh on your mind.  Zoom out and look at the bigger picture, at the water we’re swimming in.  The world feels very chaotic at the moment. A big picture mess, bigger than most of us can map out and much of which is outside of our circle of influence. The newe...2022-10-1432 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastDetoxing Your Workplace CultureToxic workplace culture: this is what you can do about it, and why you want to. Let us take you from the experience of it (check our previous episode) to the big picture. Over the past 10 years, workplace culture has generally become more toxic. Research* has specified the main markers of toxic workplace culture: Non-inclusive Unethical behaviour, lack of integrity Disrespectful Abusive management Cut-throat, ruthless Moreover, your body will tell you. It knows way more than you think. The kind of chronic stress that toxic workplace culture causes isn’t something you just st...2022-09-3036 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastDisentangling Toxic Work Culture“I went from being this courageous person, willing and loving to challenge the status quo, to feeling I have to be compliant and I need to placate. It was a black hole that sucked me in, and I didn’t realise it was toxic.” “At what point did you recognise that?” “Well, when I hit my burnout.” This People Impact podcast episode gets both personal and insightful about toxic workplace culture, a meaty and meaningful topic that gets incredibly messy when you’re in the middle of it. That right there is why we disent...2022-09-1640 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastMaking the Case for Diversity & Inclusion, with guest James McKimSeeing that lightbulb moment happen when people realise that they can be better as individuals in their organisations, *and* their organisations can be better, by really living into diversity, equity and inclusion - that is what lights James McKim up. James recognizes that organisations want to be diverse for social justice reasons, because it’s the moral thing to do. At the same time, DEI drives organisational performance. At managing consultancy Organizational Ignition, he aligns people, processes and technology to really live into DEI as a way to achieve organisational performance. “It’s throug...2022-09-0131 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastChallenging Leadership, with guest Mick SpiersWhen your reference point for how to be a leader comes from the leaders, managers and bosses you’ve had up to that point, that’s a really hit-and-miss affair. First-time leaders going through the rollercoaster of getting their new role frequently follow up their “Woohoo!” with “… now what?” Mick Spiers, founder of The Leadership Project, inspires leaders to challenge the status quo of what it means to be a leader. What do you do as a leader instead of repeating the mistakes you’ve seen your own managers make? It’s essential to realise you’re...2022-08-1226 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastThe Secret to Life is AlivenessThe biggest and best kept secret of life is… aliveness :) Sure, there’s being alive, your heart beating and your body breathing, that’s no big secret. But aliveness, that’s about feeling connected to the essential realness of your life and the tingle of possibility in the world around you. Feeling the sunshine. Listening to music. Being immersed in a fascinating read. Taking an intentional break. Feeling pain, grief or anger. Aliveness lives in all sides of being a living human being. Choosing life, in all its shapes and iterations. Paying attention instead...2022-07-2131 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastSpaces for Anti-Racism, with guest Valerie SpainWe need to be talking about racism without people of colour present.  The work Valerie Spain does - and the way that she does it - is pretty special. Valerie is a certified coach and antiracism educator, DEI consultant and group facilitator, particularly focusing on white people doing the inner work of racial justice and of developing an action plan. Affinity groups and employee resource groups have been around for marginalised groups and minorities. Valerie hosts them for white people, coming together to learn about racism and whiteness. Educating ourselves as white people, with white p...2022-07-0730 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastHow To Choose In Chaotic TimesLife is messy. It’s a messy time to be alive in this world, with so much going on. Predictability is on the decline. Some (including us) would even call it a trend towards chaos. This is a long-term thing. As Dutch Professor (in Sustainability Transitions) Jan Rotmans noted, “We are living not in an era of change, but in a change of era.” You can’t keep your head down and wait until it’s over. You’re in the middle of it. We all are. S...2022-06-2331 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastWellness Across the Board, with guest Tarin CalmeyerWellness is about effective, healthy habits for life. Your life, all sides of it. Your workplace has a huge impact on your wellness, and vice versa: an organisation will run so much better when team members are well. Tarin Calmeyer makes this clear from various angles. She is a corporate wellness specialist, the founder of Remote Team Wellness, a multipassionate and multidimensional human being, and a global citizen. Wellness means so much more than a 15-minute workout or one-time meditation event in the office. Not only is it ...2022-06-1028 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastTurning Teal, with guest Simon DixonThe hierarchy of the classic pyramid org chart has very little added value for clients and, moreover, focuses your competitive spirit on beating your colleague to get the promotion, instead of on “we’re going to win or lose together”. So, Simon Dixon worked out a better way. When Simon set up Hatmill, a specialist logistics consultancy, “The starting point was doing the opposite of doing the stuff I didn’t like in previous places,” where the people management structures and processes weren’t set up to get the best out of everyone. ...2022-05-2736 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastConsistency In New BeginningsSometimes a new beginning can mark a bigger shift, from the old you to the new you. “Wait a minute. I changed my mind. But I’ve always done it this other way. Won’t I be labelled inconsistent, erratic, unpredictable or unreliable, if I suddenly change?” Sure, but it’s your life. You get to make your choices. It makes sense that with new information may come a change of mind: knowing what we know now, this is not taking us where we thought. W...2022-05-1326 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastLiving to LearnLearning is the one consistent thing that happens in our lives. In small kids you can see the speed of learning, and in our continuing development as adults we thrive when we’re learning a new thing.  Yet, we can get trapped in ‘this is the way things should be’ or ‘this is the way things are’. Give yourself space to learn. Seeing your own and other people’s development on a longer timeline, giving yourself and others the space to learn, is vital. From this vie...2022-04-2825 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastHow Men Become Allies in the Workplace, with guest Ray ArataIt’s not always easy to be told about or recognize your own privilege. Or to show up and be your best person. We’re sharing the story of Ray Arata, who has dedicated his life to working with men on living and leading from the heart. Advancing healthy masculinity in the leadership conversation. Creating a safe space for men to move out of their heads and be whole humans.

Maybe one the reasons why I’m exhausted all of the time is because I’m doing things that are out of alignment with my values.” Spend the time to find out what your values are and make decisions that are aligned with them. Values are about understanding your own internal compass: what are the things that you as an individual find important? What are the things that bring you energy and take energy away from you? Everyone has their own top-# list in their own particular order. This is why you make...2022-04-0127 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastWho Is Your Inner Leader?Pause, for just a moment. What does your entire being know? We invite some special guests in this episode. And yet it’s just Lisa and Marjolijn talking – about checking in with a part of yourself that brings you calm clarity and helps you make decisions.

There’s war going on, refugee crises, racism, extreme weather and climate change, covid. Yes, and… amidst all of what is going on for you right now, as you read this and listen, celebrate. Celebrating can often be something that you skip over. And it’s also something that can really bring you a lot of sustenance through all the difficulty we’re living through right now. To lift up your spirits and get more energy. 2022-03-0430 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastPandemic Fatigue, Weathering the StormOn a stormy day (with severe weather warnings) we’re staying indoors and talk about covid fatigue, pandemic fatigue, languishing. We noticed how something has quietly crept into our spirits. And we notice how talking about it helps. Dealing with our current covid reality is a permanent load to carry around. Covid takes up a big part of our already full plates. So many hoops to jump through – and they keep moving. With a pervasive undercurrent that makes it hard to recharge.  What are your words and metaphors for what...2022-02-1831 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastPerspectives on Wisdom, with guest Kayvan KianThe complexity of situations, these days, is too high to use only one way of making decisions.   You could follow Aristotle’s perspective, who said: obstacles are an opportunity to build character.   Or Bruce Lee’s, instead: be water. Like a river hitting an obstacle, move around it like water. Which do you need right now? And what other perspectives are available? We talk about this with Kayvan Kian who, simply put, likes to create things that help. Kayvan’s an author, consultant and entrepreneur who inspires and supports leaders by looking at what is not here yet, and at what we ca...2022-02-0329 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastRelational Trauma in the WorkplaceThink about the things you may hear when you’re in a toxic personal relationship. Would you say those same things to a friend in a toxic employment relationship? And what do you tell yourself? “You’re making this up. It can’t be that bad.” “You should’ve done more. You should’ve acted differently.” “You shouldn’t complain because they’re so nice in other ways.” “It’s ok for your boss to yell at you because it’s your boss.” “It’s professional to just suck it up.” “In the workp...2022-01-1930 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastPeople Impact Trends for 2022 and BeyondCurious about the 10 top People Impact Trends for the coming year, and decade?

In our latest People Impact Podcast we explore this question and the ins and outs of Leadership. Leadership is changing, evolving and being redefined. What used to be a small and privileged niche is now shifting, expanding and inviting us to reconsider some the old stories we used to buy into about Leadership.

They have a mental health beyond the smile in your Zoom call. And they have a measure of success that is not, and should not be, the same measure of success for the organisation as a whole. Our guest Susanne Grant, Dutchie living in Scotland, is an award-winning work-life balance expert and bestselling author of the book Drop the Motherf*cking Struggle. She supports organisations and individuals around the world to redefine success. With that new definition of success, they can have the impact they really desire without sacrificing...2021-11-1930 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastBelonging vs Fitting InFitting in is not the same as belonging. In this new People Impact podcast episode, Lisa and I discuss a shift and a deepening in perspective around this useful distinction. Belonging is not, does not look like or feel like fitting in. This is an intentional levelling up beyond ‘cultural fit’. Belonging means not trying to ask a square peg to cut off its corners to fit into a round hole – because those corners are part of who they are. No one should be expected to cut off parts of who...2021-11-0427 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastResignation or RedesignThere is something kind of really genuinely dramatic going on. We’ve faced exceptional stress over the past year-and-a-half and it’s breaking open something that’s been simmering below the surface for a long time. This is about facing a moment of reckoning. People are choosing to leave jobs; it’s harder to find new people for certain roles. The Great Resignation, what’s actually happening? Feeling * sigh * resigned (pun intended) about that? That passive energy may come from organisations having been too resigned, too passive about their actual peo...2021-10-2127 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastHidden Gifts in Rough Times, with guest Meg MateerTap into your true resilience in order to cultivate your impact – in your organisation and in the world. We had a great talk with Meg Mateer about her old definition and new definition of resilience: From thinking resilience is about powering through, pushing yourself beyond your limits, “just get over it” and letting work be the ultimate priority in order for yourself to grow. To acknowledging what is going on with you, understanding yourself as a system, with parts that are both ambitious and resistant, excited and anxious. When you grow a bett...2021-10-0834 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastWhat Authenticity Really IsBeyond the static caused by assumptions and cliche, what is authenticity, really? And how does it infuse your people impact? Authenticity comes from a really good understanding of yourself. It is about the impact you choose to make from a deep, grounded place, that doesn’t feel quick. A quiet clarity. “Sometimes I can really feel it in my toes, bubbling up from my feet,” Lisa says. In our brand-new People Impact Podcast episode, we address what authenticity is and what it isn’t. How to get there, and how you know you...2021-09-2329 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastPeople Impact is not just about HRGetting fresh insights about working together just got even better for you, because the HR Matters Podcast is no more! 😮 We’re now the People Impact Podcast. 😊 Because People Matter.

She is CEO of Proudfoot, a firm that does meaty transformation processes. The people element is always at the backbone of this work. “We always start with the people side,” Pam states. “Because that’s going to pay back in spades.” She talks about leadership insights inspired by bad hair day m...2021-08-1325 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastOpportunities for Inclusion, with guest Madhu Mathoera“I had to learn to create my own brave space.” Madhu Mathoera is bicultural: born and raised in The Hague (The Netherlands) by parents from Surinam. Her mission is to make organisations in The Netherlands more inclusive. We’re a diverse country, almost 25% have a diverse background – but we don’t see that in organisations. Being bicultural as part of Madhu’s identity brought her a lot: she learned how to comfortably switch between contexts but also to create her own place in the world. This episode is about connecting, listening to learn, creating a brave space. Diversity of ideas and talent...2021-07-2928 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastWinds of Change in EmploymentLet’s be honest, we live in a world where change is the only constant. However, the level of change in the world of work that we’ve collectively experienced since early 2020 has been unprecedented. Now that we’re on the back side of second waves and more businesses and services are opening up (in most places), we’re seeing some powerful and unique shifts in employment. People who are in high power jobs are leaving them without an immediate alternative to go to. People without work are choosing to not take certain opportunities - especial...2021-07-1726 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastEnabling Teams to Change, with guest Rishita JonesPeople aren’t ‘resistant to change’. Each human being simply has a natural response to change. That’s what Rishita Jones is crystal clear on. Rishita’s an HR transformation expert and change manager extraordinaire who enables teams to evolve and businesses to modernise. In this new HR Matters Podcast episode, Rishita explains what makes teams come together to make change happen.

Giving teams the ability to see the connection between what they want to do, what they’re good at, wha...2021-07-0130 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastValuing Invisible Work, with guest Marieke Mooijen10.9 trillion dollars’ worth of work in this world is invisible. That invisibility has real life financial and psychological consequences. What’s the deal here? Marieke Mooijen coaches people on leading themselves and making women more aware of what they have to pull off every day. She’s our guest in this new episode on economically invisible work. Economically invisible work includes work around raising children, informal care work, managing a household. In some parts of the world includes things as essential as building a fire and getting the water to get the day started. It’s both cognitive and emotional labour...2021-06-1828 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastThe (R)evolution and Purpose of HRCreating architecture: the structure for organisations and people to work together effectively. And creating cultures: the interaction between humans and the organisations they work in. That’s the real purpose of HR work. Our wish for this field (that hopefully soon won’t be called HR anymore) is to make it lighter, faster, more constructive. Continuously improving, with meaning and purpose. All those check-the-box exercises of what your textbook says HR should be doing? Konmari your way through them and let it go(ooo).

We know it matters. Making that happen, genuinely seeing and hearing others, and doing that in a conscious and intentional way - that’s a piece of personal growth with real life impact. This episode is about the ability to notice others. To slow down and see the whole person, not just the deliverables that we needed done yesterday. See that they have a life beyond the role they play in your organisation. Asking, noticing, remembering what it is that this person likes to ta...2021-05-2129 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastRedefining FeedbackFeedback. We all know it’s important. We know people benefit and grow from really great feedback. So why is really good feedback so scarce in our workplaces? Feedback in its purest form is an act of vulnerability on the part of both the giver and receiver. And this makes it uncomfortable. Still despite the discomfort it is valuable. Consider the cost of the mental load you carry around each day thinking or worrying about people, situations and their behavior / impact. It’s likely huge. By redefining feedback, taking it out of the spac...2021-05-0726 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastInclusion Makes More Room for Everyone, with guest Kelly CooperImagine you’re trying to bring more diversity and inclusion to the Canadian forestry sector: a sector where the traditional image of diversity used to be a woman in heels holding a saw.  Kelly Cooper, the founder and CEO of the Centre for Social Intelligence, is excited about the changes she is seeing in Canada. She was able to realise an industry-wide initiative and created the first public-private partnership on diversity and inclusion in the natural resources sector.

It’s all that is not on paper, but that is implied, assumed and perceived. Alongside the legal employment agreement there is the psychological contract: the actual relationship between organisation and employee. And just like the relationships in your personal life it takes work that is worth the investment. The psychological contract has lots more impact on our day-to-day behaviour at work than that piece of paper that you signed or that policy handbook on your intranet....2021-04-0927 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastTraining Your Diversity & Inclusion Muscles, with guest Bernice Feller-ThijmBernice Feller-Thijm is an inclusion strategist who helps organisations truly create a diverse and inclusive culture. Especially after the surge of the BLM movement, conversations started happening within organisations that hadn’t been had before. What became all the more apparent is that right now, not everyone gets to participate in the same way. What helps is firstly to have a lot of conversations, to grow our understanding: we all have different lived experiences. Every organisation and group of people is different, with its own history and systems. So Bernice starts bottom-up to transform existing history into something constructive and fu...2021-03-2626 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastProcessing All of ThisAre you literate in reading all the relevant information?

Unwritten expectations that influence and guide the day-to-day actions and decisions in your organisation. You see it in how people show up, in how they interact. This episode looks at systemic thinking and specifically at how a systems perspective can help us diminish racism in work environments – even where you hadn’t noticed the impact of it before. What are the things that are said and done, or maybe not said and done, in your workplace? This is how we do, but it doesn’t have t...2020-09-0225 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastWriting Your Own Badass Story, with guest Laura KhalilTalking personal leadership: kind, funny, outspoken, courageous.

And why might laughter be important?  In this episode of HR Matters, we explore the value and importance of laughter, comedy and what our guest Chris Tabish calls Comediology. In fact he found it so valuable he wrote a whole book about it by this very name.  As Chris says, there’s this thing called “ourselves” we forget about having in business. It’s so easy to get caught up in benchmarking, reporting...2020-07-2427 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastLet’s Talk About Race in the WorkplaceYou can probably hear it in our voices... this is a topic that really matters to us: systemic racism and the journey towards diversity, equity and inclusion.

ClarkHow can you tell if an organisational culture is healthy? Research shows that psychological safety is the centerpiece of organisational culture, a bellwether for how an organisation is doing. Because it reflects basic human needs: if those aren’t met, you can’t compensate with other things. Dr Timothy R. Clark, leadership consultant, has researched the four stages of psychological safety and presents a clear framework. In this episode we speak with Dr Clark about his framework and how you identify what the group dynamic is in your team.

Indeed, when you take a thank you to the next level and turn it into a true acknowledgement of someone, that will strengthen them to bring more of that good work, it will improve trust and connection, and will solidify compliments that they received earlier. A ‘thank you’ is the most valuable thing you can give to employees – and co-workers, and managers. When done right. What exactly makes a good acknowledgement is something wort...2020-01-0736 minThe People Impact PodcastThe People Impact PodcastHolding Space: the Under-the-Radar Skill You Want to HaveThere is an under-the-radar skill that you’ll be happy to be more aware of, and that you'll want to put high up on your list of things to develop. If you’re already good at this, you’ll want to cherish it and inspire it in others.  Marjolijn describes it as making room in your head for other people’s stories, for other people’s choices.

When you say, ‘ROI is not enough for me, I want a job with purpose,’ we see that the hierarchy of what you find important has shifted from previous generations. And the outspokenness. We see that you do care, and you’re willing to walk away because of it. Because these things matter.
