the WoW - the World of Work!

By: Paola Granati
  • Summary

  • We have entered a new era that is transforming all aspects of our lives and work is no exception! It is in these moments of great transformation that we must think differently when we talk about work and move away from the notion that work equals job, equals employment. It is more than that! It defines who we are, what we do, how much money we make, how we live, who we know, how we feel, what we learn, even where we live, the people we hang around with. It can bring status, fulfilment, achievement as well as frustration, burn-out, disenchantment. When we stop seeing work as simply employment and look at it as a world of opportunities where we can put our talents to work in areas we are passionate about, the perspective changes! This is what this podcast is all about. Exploring the world of work from different perspectives with guest speakers who share their stories, and views on how their world of work has changed and what we can expect to see in the future. It is bringing to the table different disciplines and professions with the mission to bring the concept of work closer to people and people closer to work with a WOW!

  • Part 1: The Complex World of People and Emotions @ Work w/ Roxana Petrus
    Dec 20 2023

    How we show up at work determines to a great extent how we feel at work. Our complex inner world made of emotions, thoughts, expectations of oneself and others plays a huge role in shaping our wellbeing. Unlike what many people think, we can greatly influence the environment we are in provided we check in with ourselves and keep ourselves honest! Occasionally taking the time to ensure that what we do is in line with what's important for us is a good reminder as to why we get up in the morning in the first place. Join Paola Granati and Roxana Petrus Part 1 of this episode of the World of Work podcast, the WoW.

    With over a decade of experience, she currently supports individuals, leaders, and teams in achieving their goals and navigating personal and professional challenges. She delivers individual and team coaching, training and diverse learning experiences around human skills development, emotional agility, communication and collaboration, productivity and satisfaction, leadership and self-leadership.

    Short work sprints, transactional exchanges, project driven employment cycles: this is the future of work. It's less about loyalty and more about convenience, getting things done and moving on. But is this really the type of working future that brings fulfilment to people? Or maybe fulfilment comes from other spaces? Lots of questions come to mind when exploring the topic of work for the upcoming generation, their expectations and what this means for leaders! Tune in to Part 2!
