I love Tammy's phrase about wellbeing running through the veins of an organisation. When you achieve that, you are equipped to deal with any conversation that arises. And all because you start by putting people first.
That means being vulnerable and stepping into their space to learn about what someone else is experiencing and what they need.
18th October is menopause awareness day. It's a great time to remind you about the impact of menopause on women in leadership positions in your organisation.
And it's an even better time to remember the golden rule at work which is simply to demonstrate that you care.
Regardless of how people show up, being able to ask 2 questions can be a game changer...
1️⃣ What does someone's experience mean for them in terms of how it feels and impacts?
2️⃣ What do they need from you/the workplace to help them show up in the best way possible, in their circumstances?
Listen to the practical advice in this episode of the podcast to increase your confidence about speaking up and enabling others to have their voice heard.
Thank you Tammy Gee 😉
Good old 'getting people right to get business right'.
