#021 Matt Henricks - The Power Of Small Actions To Make A Difference

59m · Leading Beings · 28 Feb 17:09

My guest today is Matt Henricks. After starting his career in HR, where his early roles saw him responsible for 'letting go' over 100 hundred employees, Matt sought out a change in his work to do something more meaningful. Flash forward to today and Matt is now the CEO and Founder of Henricks Consulting, the Helping Hands Program and Water Works Program, Matt's passion is helping companies change the way that employees engage with their work. Matt is an expert in the field of Organisational Change and has run successful consultancy business since 2006. He is a registered and endorsed Organisational Psychologist and author of the book "The Inspired Workplace: Organisational wisdom from the most unlikely of sources." Join Matt and I as we explore his journey into creating two social focused organisational learning and team building experiences that help thousands of people around the world - and in this, how he rediscovered his boyhood dream of making a difference. Along the way we explore themes such as our innate desire as humans to make the world a better place, engaging empathy and the heart in business, purpose, the power of collaboration and the incredible impact small actions of individuals can have on changing the world. You can find Matt and his work via the following websites. www.henricksconsulting.com, www.helpinghandsprogram.com.au or www.waterworks program.com.   The Good Work Revolution is a podcast created to share and explore inspiring stories of people creating their Good Work. Each episode I delve into what it takes to create work that fulfils, inspires and has a positive impact: for ourselves others and the world.   If you would like to continue the conversation, please feel free to come and join the GWR Facebook group at http://facebook.com/groups/goodworkrevolution   You can find me at: My Website: http://katemccready.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/katemccreadyhq Facebook: http://facebook.com/katemccready.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/katemccready

#047 Designing Working Rhythms that Work for You

Many of us fall into the trap of working how everyone else works. Or working how society, or our workplaces have trained us to work. But are the working rhythms imposed on you by external forces aren't necessarily the best working rhythms for you.

So how do you create working rhythms that work for you?

In this episode I explore six things to consider to design working rhythms that work with your unique strengths, energy and ways of working.

1. Challenge norms
2. Understand yourself
3. Catalogue your work tasks and projects
4. Consider your constraints
5. Craft your cadence
6. Test and iterate
