Ep#81 Confidence

Are you one of the people who get lost in all the changes, fuss, or busy nature of the organization?  New people, new approaches, people leaving, people being walked out, managers who don’t know their People or just the craziness all play a part in estranging segments of our organization.  Greg and Allister have a good long talk, from their new home at Staples Studio-Oakville, about the people that are or feel lost.   Many of these people are so important, but we might not realize how talented, necessary, knowledgeable, and essential they are to the teams they serve.

Join Greg and Allister in a session about the use of technology, gimmicks, tricks, or things in facilitating conversations (sometimes it is the use of stickies).  We have all been in those sessions where the newest thing or technique is used to make the event happen.   Most often things go ok....but sometimes it is a big miss...and a mess!

Ep#90 no not Stickies

Join Greg and Allister as they jump back into the podcast after a summer of holidays and covid.   The crew discusses the use of "But" in conversations, along with other words and actions, that can cut short good healthy discussions.
