Episode 159 The Pain of Poor Communication

We know that communication is the thing that all companies, managers, and coworkers struggle with. It is the number one thing that employees say needs improvement in all the organizations we work with. But if you think about it, simply saying that we need to improve communication is pretty vague. There is no real "communication standard" that people work within, there are no real communication expectations or even really best practices out there. So, how can people know if communication is good or not? And what happens when communication is not good? Listen now to hear the People Centric team discuss what we see when communication breaks down and some things we see from the best communicators.

Episode 156 Are you Coachable?

Giving feedback is always a challenge for leaders - but RECEIVING feedback is just as difficult. No one wants to hear the things they are doing wrong, but most people do want to do good work. One of the best ways to ensure that you are able to receive and apply the feedback you are given is to build a coachable mindset. On today's episode of the People Centric Podcast, Bethany Taff and Diana Royalty discuss the traits that limit or excel a person's willingness to be coached.

Episode 155 Lead Them Well

It should come as no surprise to you that People Centric has our own definition of leadership. We say that leadership is, simply, influence. And that means that everyone is a leader because everyone is influencing someone all the time - whether you realize it or not. Furthermore, most people hear the words "Influence" and "leadership" and we instantly think they are positive things. But on this episode of the People Centric Podcast we examine how people can lead others positively and negatively. We break down the moments in which negative leadership happens and what it looks like to Lead Well.

Episode 154 Managing Oversharing Managers

In our episode about transparency (and when to not be totally transparent), we touched on the topic of a manager oversharing information with employees. Your manager is just a person, and people get overwhelmed, or conflict avoidant, or have a bad day, or are unconfident about how to move something forward - and people can start to overshare things with people that have no power or authority to fix them. And that is what the People Centric Team talks about in this episode of the People Centric Podcast. When a manager brings problems to an employee in an unhealthy way, what is the expectation of that employee, how should that employee react, and what can managers do to avoid this situation entirely? Listen now for our thoughts on this all too common interaction.

Episode 153 Transparently, Not Totally Transparent

People Centric are advocates for transparency in the workplace! We say that communication should go top to bottom, bottom to top, side to side, and everywhere in between. We say that employers should be open, and vulnerable, and even share financials with employees. But we admit that there are times when total transparency is a bad idea. So, in an effort to be transparent with you all, the People Centric team laid out the times when a company or manager can't or shouldn't be totally transparent.

Episode 152 Adult Learning and Teaching at Work

Adults learn differently than kids. When we are kids we absorb information, and since we have little experience with the world, we need a lot of guidance and supervision. As adults, we need so much more: we need to be able to connect our past experiences to the new ones, we need autonomy to problem solve, we need the ability to process and take time away from learning to absorb and solidify the information in our minds, we need the information to be relevant and timely - and the list goes on. In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, the team breaks down how adult learning theory affects our training at work and even how we feel about learning new things at work.
