Confidence in the Workplace With Dr Sharon McLaughlin

10m · Published 21 Feb 09:48

In this podcast segment, the host delves into an eye-opening article from the Harvard Business Review by Darren Baker and Julia Rourke, which sheds light on how confidence can be weaponized against women in the workplace.

Drawing insights from the book "How Women Rise" by Sally Helgeson and Marshall Goldsmith, the podcast then outlines 12 habits women can adopt to navigate and overcome challenges, including self-promotion, ally-building, and overcoming perfectionism. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on these habits and emphasizes the importance of embracing challenges, taking risks, and fostering confidence.

Effective Communication At Work With Dr Sharon McLaughlin

5m · Published 17 Jan 09:21

In today's episode, we delve into the art of effective communication—something crucial not only in the workplace but also in our personal lives. Oftentimes, the stumbling block is our failure to actively listen. Join us as we explore practical scenarios and learn how to navigate conversations with finesse.

  • Many relationship problems stem from not actively listening to one another.
  • The key is to genuinely listen to what the other person is saying, without formulating responses while they speak.
  1. Requesting an Extension:

    • Instead of a flat "I can't do this," express the need for an extension while highlighting the benefits for both parties.
    • Example: "Understanding the importance of the deadline, a one-week extension could yield a more polished result."
  2. Seeking Help:

    • Rather than a straightforward request, offer appreciation and acknowledge their expertise.
    • Example: "I appreciate your skills. Could we schedule time to go over this together?"
  3. Managing Workload:

    • Instead of saying, "This is too much," propose a discussion on prioritizing tasks for efficiency.
    • Example: "I appreciate the responsibilities. Can we review and possibly redistribute tasks for optimal outcomes?"
  • Instead of a blunt "I don't agree," express appreciation for their time, list concerns, and suggest exploring alternatives.
  • Instead of a direct demand, present accomplishments and responsibilities and propose a discussion on a salary review.
  • Avoid direct commands; instead, express noticing the behavior and propose finding a solution together.
  • Frame feedback positively, focusing on shared goals and proposing a meeting to discuss expectations.
  • Emphasize collaboration and value, inviting the person to explore ways to contribute more actively.
  • Rather than criticizing, identify inefficiencies and propose adjustments for improved efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Instead of accusing, express the impact of late starts on productivity and propose a commitment to punctuality.
  • Involve others in decision-making by expressing value for their input and insights.
  • Approach communication with empathy to make others feel valued, fostering likability and effective leadership.

Remember, the key to successful communication lies in active listening, inclusivity, and empathy. Join us in mastering these skills to become not just communicators but leaders who inspire and connect.
