How I Work

Most of us worry about what others think of us at some point. But have you ever considered how that might negatively impact your ability to achieve your goals? Shelley Johnson is a renowned leadership coach, columnist for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald and the host of top-ranking podcast This Is Work. I sat down with Shelley for a chat around how we let people’s perceptions of us dictate our actions, and in some worst-case scenarios, stifle our growth.   In this episode, Shelley and I share: -         The damage that can be done to your development by fearing what other people think -         Strategies you can use to overcome the fear of other’s judgment -         What you should be doing instead of oversharing at work if you want to have a positive impact. -         Why "bringing your whole self to work" might not be the best idea and what you should do instead -         Some techniques for handling stress and stopping it from overflowing at work   Key Quotes: “Oversharing doesn't build trust, it actually undermines trust." “Bring your whole self to work is different to bring your best self to work." “Every time you get feedback you have a choice. Is this someone A) that I value their opinion. Is this B) useful and C) what do I then do with it?"

Do difficult workplace conversations terrify you? Does the idea of having to tell a colleague something they won’t like make you just want to pack up for the day and go home instead? If that’s the case then returning guest Dom Price might have the mindset flip and strategies you need to approach these conversations with enthusiasm instead of trepidation. Dom is the resident Work Futurist at Atlassian one of the largest software businesses in the world and has responsibilities spanning 7 global R&D centres. On top of that he is a celebrated keynote speaker and a former Director of Deliotte.

"We've spent so long talking about psychological safety that we've not realised it's a set of actions, it’s not a set of words." “Preparation is good. Over preparation isn't good."
