  • 207. Organise to Liberate Your Workload
    Oct 18 2024

    Send us a text

    In this 4-part mini-series we explore how to bring a bit of OOOO to your work life: Optimism, Opportunity, Outgoing & Organisation. Four different topics, we explore the mindset, behaviours and tips that bring these to life in everyday practice. In this third episode we explore what being organised looks like in practice.

    When we are feeling busy or overloaded with commitments, a sense of being organised is essential for keeping well amid times of pressure or change. It means different things to people (eg having a strategic vs operational preference) and will be different for different people within a team (having an introvert vs extravert preference) which can lead to disorganisation moments when working with different people.

    Taking a ‘one size fits one’ approach we take a fly-through Dr Stephen Covey’s classic ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ and bring it up to date with current topics around hybrid working, transformational change and industry pressures.

    A useful listen for anyone who knows they have a pressuring time ahead with competing priorities- or wants a shared language to get better organised as a team.

    Organisational mindset a useful topic for you right now? Here are some relevant past episodes:

    174. Prioritising Workload and Managing Expectations

  • 206. Focusing on the Opportunity During Company Cutbacks
    Oct 11 2024

    In this 4-part mini-series we explore how to bring a bit of OOOO to your work life: Optimism, Opportunity, Outgoing & Organisation. Four different topics, we explore the mindset, behaviours and tips that bring these to life in everyday practice. In this second episode explore how to look after yourself and others when there are cutbacks, redundancies and a 'shrink' mentality in your workplace. As we discuss, this can create very unsettling and upsetting emotions. Not only for those who are at risk of redundancy, but also those who remain in their role who might be sad to see a colleague depart, and worried about increased workload.

    We take a practical look at how to keep focused on the opportunity, remembering that as one door closes another could be about to open. No feeling is final, and sometimes upon reflection, an unwanted change due to a company cutback, can be the start of a better career path ahead.

    A useful listen for anyone who has a stretching period ahead of them, or who is managing a team during a round of redundancy.


    Opportunity mindset a useful topic for you right now? Here are some relevant past episodes:
