S2 Ep 04: Summary of How Teamwork Benefits from Your Full Personality

S2 Ep 06: How to make others hear you.

Meetings can be difficult in both remote and face-to-face settings. From staying focused, being engaged, arranging your thoughts & reading people’s expressions to managing silent situations.

This episode was one of our favourite topics - communication and how to make others hear us. Although the conversation took a different direction than expected, our curiosity led us to focus on in-person and remote meetings.

Here are a few highlights from our latest episode:

• We opened up this episode with a question ‘do other people listen to you?’ and ‘how often they don't?’

• How can we hold onto others’ attention during meetings? Here Zuzanna shared about practising deep listening and the power of asking questions.

• Almost all of us will experience “awkward silence” when the presenter asked for feedback or a question. How do we maintain our composure and confidence then?

• Lastly, we shared and agreed that everyone in the organization or team, their voices and opinions matter and must be given a chance to be heard.

This episode left both of us with plenty of thoughts to reflect on. What is emerging for you from our discussion?

S2 Ep 05: Summary of avoiding remote burnout

This is a short 5mins summary for listeners who are on the go.

Remote work has certainly created opportunities for us, like allowing many workers to work from home and spend more quality time with family, and widening the talent pool for many employers.

However, remote working also exposes social risks. Workers are experiencing burnout and loneliness. In this episode 5, we reflected on remote burnout and shared a few tips on how to deal with it.

 Here are a few highlights from our latest episode:

• We reflected on how remote work or work from home had provided us with flexibility and empowerment. We are able to spend more family time while still keeping the same productivity output.

• While some thrive and live their dream life, others realise that it is harder than ever for them to put a hard stop on working and that work-life balance has never been further away and eventually resulted in work burnout.

• A few tips on dealing with remote burnout – scheduling intentional breaks to have coffee or go for a walk, pantry talk with colleagues virtually, listening to your body, & creating a culture of empathy.

• Addressing remote burnout or achieving a healthy work-life environment should start with the leader.

S2 Ep 04: Summary of How Teamwork Benefits from Your Full Personality

This is a short 5mins summary for listeners who are on the go.

According to Maslow, if you want to get to the top of the pyramid and fulfil your full potential, you’ve got to build a solid base first. There are four building blocks, Physical Security, Emotional Security, Environment, & Mindset. 

Self-control is one of the skills that overlap the building blocks and a skill that develops over time. Self-control refers to your ability to manage your behavior in order to achieve goals, improve positive outcomes, and avoid negative consequences. Self-control is an important skill that allows us to regulate behavior in order to achieve our long-term goals.

In this episode 4,  we discussed how to bring one’s full potential to work and how to encourage others to fully show up, and one of the skills that you need is self-control. 

• What are the benefits of having self-control?

• Can we control our self-control?

• Improving cultural awareness with self-control

We wrapped up our discussion with an agreement that to encourage others to bring their full selves and potential at work, it has to start with awareness, both social and self. It is also equally important to share our weaknesses and faults.
