Hello, and welcome to Episode 251 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode I am sharing a conversation which we had over on the Grow Your Influence podcast, where my cohost Juliet Robinson and I were talking about dealing with difficult people at work – in fact it’s one of our most popular episodes ever!

We waste so much time and energy dealing with people who behave badly. Often we put the conversation off for as long as possible and sometimes we avoid these conversations altogether. What we know is that avoiding dealing with difficult behaviour is not going to change anything. As leaders, there are some simple things we can do to connect with and manage difficult people, particularly if they are on our team. Starting with a plan is important and what you role model for your team gives them an idea for how they can also deal with these situations. We give you our top tips for dealing with these difficult people.

Hello, and welcome to Episode 249 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

Wow! Isn’t December just the gift that keeps on giving?

In today’s episode I’m bringing you a raw and honest conversation about what I’m noticing right now – because it is utter chaos!

There are big decisions being made, huge reactions, overwhelm and high stress.

Today I share with you that one of my secret super powers is seeing patterns – seeing patterns in lots of ways, but particularly around patterns of behaviour.

What I see is that there are often common themes, and when I see them showing up, I know it’s not just these few people I might have spoken to that week, it’s a broader trend.

What I’m seeing right now is quite high stress – zero tolerance, lack of resilience. I’m seeing successful business owners wanting to fire their whole team and just throw it all in. It’s very reactive, not responsive, not proactive. And there are lots of reasons.

So today I’m talking about what I’m seeing and why it might be happening with business owners right now and how it impacts you as a leader and what your team see.

I’ll also share some strategies and hacks to get you get this through this silly season with your sanity in place.
