Episode191: Serenity Now - When to Let Things Go

At work, we all have things that bug us: that person who can never remember 3 steps of the process, the person who is constantly losing their badge and has to be let in every morning, the person who never hits a deadline and then blames it on others. And we have things that keep us up at night: the thing the boss said that you keep replaying over and over or the drama that includes you when you never wanted to be included. On today's episode of the People Centric Podcast, the team talks about when you should let things go and how you can do that when you deeply care. Listen now.

Episode 188 Coping with the No

We have all heard "No" throughout our lives - from our parents, teachers, and bosses. We have probably all pitched a good idea, asked to update a process, asked for a raise or promotion and got rejected. And it is generally frustrating. Knowing that we are going to continue to have to say no and also accept no, how can we as both employees and leaders do no better. In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, the team discusses how to give and receive a no.
