Emotion At Work

This episode is a new format for the podcast.  I have gone back over some of our previous episodes and pulled together a 'best of sort of episode with a focus on 'Emotion'.  Episodes; 2 (with SJ Lennie), 25 (with Cliff Lansley), 26 (with Jo Wainwright) and 27 (with James Gross) all took a slightly different perspective on emotion and yet there were also some similarities and differences.  I wanted to pull out these similarities and differences and add to them with some reflection, comments and narration of my own.  I am not 100% sure if it works as a format and please let me know what you think.   Your references can be found on the original episode's show notes.  Happy Listening   Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/  

This episode looks at evaluating learning. My guest is someone whose surname spikes a lot of discussion and debate within learning and development, organizational development and the HR sector. I’ve known Jim Kirkpatrick since we first met in 2012 and we’ve worked together since. I feel very honored to be one of the few people in the world that are a certified Kirkpatrick evaluation program facilitator. We look at why you should evaluate learning, the approaches you should take and bust some of the myths out there that surround learning evaluation.   As always, here are your references: Find out more about the Kirkpatrick Programmes run with Developing People Globally: https://www.dpgplc.co.uk/courses-qualifications/learning-and-development/kirkpatrick-four-levels-evaluation-certification-programme/ Visit the Kirkpatrick Partners website: www.kirkpatrickpartners.com Sign up free for resources and newsletters on the Kirkpatrick website at: https://www.kirkpatrickpartners.com/Resources You can find details of the book Jim mentioned, ‘Kirkpatrick Four Levels of Evaluation’ on this link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kirkpatricks-Four-Levels-Training-Evaluation/dp/1607280086 Good to Great by Jim Collins: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Good-Great-Jim-Collins/dp/0712676090/ Find Kirkpatrick Partners on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheKirkpatricks and on Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kirkpatrick-partners-llc/ For Paul Thoresen (Survey Guy) visit his Twitter profile at https://twitter.com/surveyguy2   More from Jim:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirkpatrickfourlevelevaluation/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jim_Kirkpatrick   Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/

This episode tackles a notoriously tricky area, Organisational Change.  One thing is for sure that for HR, Learning and Organisational Development practitioners we are working with change. My guest this week is the wonderful Julie Drybrough. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore how aspects of; identity, belonging, control, power can all affect organizations and their ability or propensity to change.  Jools talks about the 'invisible hand' that guides what happens in organizations and how in her work, she often makes that invisible stuff visible.   We both share some specific examples from past and present work and talk about the strategies, techniques and methods we use to support organizations and ourselves as practitioners too.     As always, here are your references: The blog post Jools wrote about culture change and fog https://fuchsiablueblog.wordpress.com/2018/09/12/digital-transformation-culture-fog/ Quote from Martin Luther King Jr about love and power https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/134364-power-without-love-is-reckless-and-abusive-and-love-without Martin Bubers 'I and Thou' https://www.amazon.co.uk/Martin-Bubers-Thou-Practicing-Dialogue/dp/0809141582/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541360799&sr=8-3&keywords=i+thou The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle https://www.amazon.co.uk/Culture-Code-Secrets-Highly-Successful/dp/1847941265/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541361475&sr=8-1&keywords=culture+code William Isaacs and Dialogue - the art of thinking together https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dialogue-Art-Thinking-Together-Communicating/dp/0385479999/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541361533&sr=8-1&keywords=william+isaacs+dialogue 'On Dialogue' by David Boam https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dialogue-Routledge-Classics-David-Bohm/dp/0415336414/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541361581&sr=8-4&keywords=david+bohm   More from Julie:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-drybrough-969b647/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/fuchsia_blue  Website: https://fuchsiablueblog.wordpress.com/about/    Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/  

For this episode, we delve into Community Management with our guest Ady Howes. Now there is an argument that with the Emotion at Work hub recently launched this episode is either Phil being really shameless, sensible or maybe even organized.  You, fair listener, can choose ;-)) During the conversation Ady and Phil explore; emotions for community members, managers, leaders in organizations and the links into culture too.  They also share some of their experiences of community management done well and.... less well.     Your references for this one: Buzzing Communities by Richard Millington and thanks to Jo Cook (@lightbulbJo) for the recommendation https://www.amazon.co.uk/Buzzing-Communities-Bigger-Better-Active/dp/0988359901 The 5 P's of Community Management from the amazing Mike Collins (@CommunityMike) https://www.dpgplc.co.uk/resource/creating-community-practice-5-p-framework/ The Diffusion of Innovation Curve: https://www.ou.edu/deptcomm/dodjcc/groups/99A2/theories.htm Festival of Work 2019 (aka the L&D Show) http://www.festivalofwork.com/ Thanks for listening   More from Ady:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adyhowes/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/adyhowes    Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/

As is often the case with our ‘stories’ series, the content has the potential to affect people, and so fair listener, I want you to take care with this episode, please. I am talking with my guest Katrina Colliner about how being an unhealed victim of child abuse affected her in the workplace.  She now describes herself as a ‘victor over’ her abuse and you can hear more about what she means by that in the episode.   If you are affected by what we talk about and you are feeling particularly vulnerable, please remember you can call the Samaritans at any time on 116 123 and I have googled other places of support and added links the sites and organizations I found below.   As this is a ‘stories’ episode there are no ‘references’ as such, there were a few things in particular that Katrina mentioned as things that helped her and I have added those too.     Thanks for listening References and links https://www.samaritans.org https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-compassion-chronicles/201501/healing-the-shame-childhood-abuse-through-self-compassion https://napac.org.uk Katrina mentioned Pia Mellody and that is a person, here is a link to her site http://piamellody.com   More from Katrina: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrinacollier/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KatrinaMCollier   Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/    

For this episode, we delve into three areas; banter, impoliteness and power.  All separate yet inextricably linked.  All things that are common in the workplace.  My guest this episode is Dr Derek Bousfield and he goes by on Twitter.   We discuss what ‘banter’ is, how it is defined, why it is a healthy thing and is something that can cause division and friction in the workplace.  Derek’s descriptive definition for Banter is ‘Insincere Impoliteness’ and we go on to define ‘Imploiteness’ as well as ‘Politeness’ and ‘Power’.  One of the examples we discuss how to banter can be veiled as Impoliteness and how Politeness markers or actions can also be Impoliteness.  All of this is down to... *drum roll* context. As part of our discussion, we link back to aspects from other podcasts where we talk about face and facework (episodes 12 and 24), conversation management (episode 10) and in/out groups (episode 7).   Your references for this one: Barthesian myth (around 16 minutes) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythologies_(book) Labeling (around 23 minutes) NB this is not exactly what Derek mentions but it gives you an idea where he is going with his thinking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labeling_theory Terms of address and titles (around 39 minutes) https://www.thoughtco.com/term-of-address-1692533 Banter and mock Impoliteness (by Derek and Michael Haugh) https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael_Haugh2/publication/257198791_Mock_impoliteness_jocular_mockery_and_jocular_abuse_in_Australian_and_British_English/links/5b0d4772a6fdcc8c2537e291/Mock-impoliteness-jocular-mockery-and-jocular-abuse-in-Australian-and-British-English.pdf Power (around 54 minutes) this is a fab book that explores the dynamism of power https://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Talk-Interaction-Institutional-Discourse/dp/0582368790/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535050326&sr=8-1&keywords=Power+thornborrow Jonathan Culpepper 2011 Impolitentess work (around 1 hour 9 minutes) http://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/languages-linguistics/sociolinguistics/impoliteness-using-language-cause-offence?format=PB Derek Bousfield 2008 Monograph on Impoliteness (around 1 hour 9 minutes) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Impoliteness-Interaction-Pragmatics-Beyond-New/dp/9027254397/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1535051024&sr=1-1&keywords=Derek+Bousfield+impoliteness  Clare Hardaker on Trolling (around 1 hour 10 minutes) these are examples of her non-academic work https://www.theguardian.com/profile/claire-hardaker Lynn Truss ‘Talk to the Hand’ (around 1 hour 11 minutes) https://www.amazon.com/Talk-Hand-Bloody-Rudeness-Reasons/dp/1592401716  Journal of Politeness Volume 14 Issue 2 (around 1 hour 12 minutes) https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/pr.2018.14.issue-2/issue-files/pr.2018.14.issue-2.xml Thanks for listening!!   More from Derek:  https://www2.mmu.ac.uk/languages/staff/profile/index.php?id=111   Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/  

This episode picks up the Emotion at Work in Stories theme I started earlier this year. This time it is with Karen Teago as my guest, we take a trip into how depression has been a part of her life for 15 years. I asked Karen to be on the podcast as she wrote a blog a few years ago (https://teagohr.wordpress.com/2017/10/10/this-is-what-it-looks-like/) and it affected me then and still does now.  Depression is one of the things that are both talked about and not talked about all at the same time.  With Karen being willing to be open and frank about her experiences it was important to me that I create a place and space to allow a depth of exploration of the topic.   This is a frank and honest episode and our conversation lasted for nearly an hour and twenty minutes so there is a lot to listen to.  If you are affected by anything in this episode then there are support options open to you: The Samaritans can be contacted here https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help-you or call them on 116 123 (it is free)  The mind can be contacted here https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/helplines/ You can also call the NHS on 111 or make an appointment with your local GP   We explore her experiences with depression as a condition, with medication, with postnatal depression, the important area of disclosure and how guilt has been a part of her experience too.  I (maybe unfairly) ask Karen for any advice or suggestions if anything in the podcast resonates with you and I add my thoughts too. At one point Karen talks about how she became aware of her condition by reading a case she was working on.    After we recorded the episode she found this paragraph from 'Notes on a Nervous Planet' by Matt Haig (@matthaig1) that she felt better explained her experience: "Later, doctors would offer labels.  'Panic disorder', 'generalized anxiety disorder' and 'depression'.  These labels were worrying, but also important because they gave me something to work with.  They stopped me from feeling like an alien.  I was a human being with human illnesses, which other humans have had - millions and millions of humans - and most of them had either overcome their illnesses or had somehow managed to live with them.  Even after I knew the names of the illnesses I had, I believed they were all stemming from inside me.  They were just there, the way the grand canyon was just there"  Here's a link to the full book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Notes-Nervous-Planet-Matt-Haig/dp/1786892677 With this being a Stories episode there aren’t many references as such. There are some things we talk about and here are the links to those things: The unexpected yet innocuous question came from Margaret Burnside @margaretburnsid The book on sleep Karen references is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-We-Sleep-Science-Dreams/dp/0241269067 The Mind Website with details for resources for Corporate partners https://www.mind.org.uk/search-results?q=guidelines%20for%20corporate%20partners More information for breastfeeding and taking medication https://www.breastfeeding-and-medication.co.uk/   More from Karen:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-teago-1778551b/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/teago_emplaw    Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/
