My guest for this podcast is Dr. Emily Hofstetter and we get into geeky (as is often the case with me) detail about linguistics, conservation analysis and what Emily calls 'non lexical vocialisations'. A more everyday term would be the non-word noises that feature in interaction. We talk about how her (and others) research can be really helpful for us to look at talk and conversation in the workplace.

This episode looks at neuroscience and organizational change. My guest on this podcast, Hilary Scarlett, is both a practitioner and an author and in the most recent edition of her book, she brings together the neuroscience of organizational change. I was particularly interested in getting this guest on as she has those two different perspectives.

This episode looks at Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. The topic in this episode is one that I’m very conscious of and aware of because as a middle-aged white man I’m conscious of the advantages this brings me in life. If I think back over my career this consciousness hasn’t always been with me. Whether that’s because of the wider conversation that’s happening around equality, diversity and inclusion or whether that’s with age I’ve become more aware of it. Our guest today, Mayokun 'Mac' Alonge, is working hard to change the awareness and consciousness around equality, diversity and inclusion.
Happy listening!

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.

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.

This episode tackles a current and complicated area of Digital Body language. Digital communication, learning and interaction continue their upward trend and my guest this week is on the leading edge of that curve. The wonderful Jo Cook and I take this podcast down a particular route for digital body language. We focus on the interactional aspects and we explore how we can use and harness the power and opportunities technology offers us to actively consider if not read others' Digital Body Language. We are aware enough that it is not all sunshine and rainbows and so we get into the challenges and strategies to overcome them too.

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.

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.

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

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).

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/

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"

This episode is one of those that talks about stuff you as a human do all the time but aren't all that aware of or use different words to describe it. My guest this time is James Gross who is the worlds leading researcher in Emotion Regulation. Through the podcast we chat about:
- What are emotions?
- What is emotion regulation?
- The 5 families of emotion regulation strategies
- Examples of what people do within each of those families
- How emotion regulation can be extrinsic (where others use these strategies with/for/to you to 'help' you regulate your emotions) and intrinsic (where you use them with your own emotions)
- What the workplace and individuals can learn from emotion regulation
This was a great episode to record!!!! My inner geek was super excited

This is one of the most thoughtful podcasts I have done. You can hear the thinking. Hear when my guest Jo Wainwright and or I are paying attention, listening and supporting each other. There will be a temptation to listen to this episode on 1.5 or 2 times speed as there are some pauses and gaps in speech. Instead, I implore you to do one or both of these things:
Let it play as it was originally intended.
Pay attention to the way that Jo listens and supports me and the conversation.
There is some real value in learning in the interaction style used in this podcast.
Jo and I explore the roles of emotion and emotions in the workplace. We talk about emotional labour, emotional work and emotional exploitation. How at work humans are expected to do both emotional work and labour and yet are not supported to do so. I love that Jo makes a comparison with how at work we will ensure people have hard hats, supportive chairs, high visibility jackets, ear defenders, keyboards and mice that are ergonomically designed. Yet, what is lacking is the safety kit to support emotional work and labour in the workplace.
We get into some of the tangible actions, ideas, suggestions, experiences that can help make this work and/or work better in workplaces.

In this episode, I interview someone that has been a part of my professional life for just over a decade. Like me, Cliff Lansley from EIA Group has deep knowledge, passion and expertise in the world of emotion. For our chat we take a deep dive into what may be some of the key areas this podcast should have explored in the past; what are emotions? what is emotional intelligence? how can you test or assess EQ?
Through our conversation, we get into some of the risks, issues and opportunities with the current state of emotional intelligence as well as how we, or more specifically how Cliff is using his Ph.D. to push forward the approaches and methods we use to view and assess EQ. The two main gaps.... context (you can see why we get along) and goals.

In this episode, I get to chat with Monica Parker from Hatch Analytics and we chat about something that has interested me for years. I have spent a fair bit of time in different workplaces and they had profound effects on how I felt both on specific days and overtime. So, I am really excited that I am going to get to explore this with our guest today.
Looking to the physical workplace is something that is huge right now. Whether that be trying to imitate google with slides and bean bags, considering the emotional impact of things like space, temperature and desks or the need/preference for remote working. all of these things (and more) have emotional input, consequences and often, in my experience, this emotional aspect is forgotten or relegated to low priority. For me, it has to start with emotion and how people feel and work out from there. Then again, I would say that I suppose.

This episode picks up the Emotion at Work in Stories theme I shared at the start of 2018. This time with Tony Jackson as my guest, we explore how anxiety has always been a part of his life and has been working on it more purposefully in the last five years or so.
We delve into the factors that have and continue to contribute to the anxiety that Tony experiences, his ways of working with his anxiety and what he does from a restorative perspective. We talk about how 'difference' is something that Tony carries with him and is a near-constant feature in his thoughts and then affects either his approaches to interactions and interactions themselves. Tony is also really clear that his experiences have, and continue to shape his empathy and inclusivity. He says that his stories and experiences have given him things that he works with and at times struggles with and it has also equipped him with a set of skills that help him to work really well with others. Finally, we get into the detail and practical things that Tony does to help him be well and enjoy his work and life.
With this being a Stories episode there aren’t many references as such. There are some things from the news and other places we talk about and here are the links to those things:

I loved recording this podcast because it gives a look at the background and theory as well as practical experience, hints and tips for reviewing and improving Employee Experience. In this episode, I am joined by Lara Plaxton who is the head of HR at FDM UK. Lara has a fairly unique perspective on employee experience as the work that FDM do, doesn't necessarily match with the standard model. FDM support organisations and graduates, ex-forces and returners by placing graduates in client organisations but importantly, those graduates remain as employees of FDM. So FDM's employees experience two (potentially) different cultures; one for being an employee of FDM and then working in a client's business every day.
During this podcast, we explore some key terms and definitions around User Experience, Employee Experience and Design Thinking before going more specifically into what Lara and FDM do to measure and improve their employee experience. We cover some key things to think about, tips and techniques to review or improve employee experience and we delve deep into the thinking and theory behind this area.
