“Welcome to bad work stories made good. 

My name is Corina Roobeck, and with my co-host Emma Mathews we will be doing precisely that. In each episode, we will take a bad work story from our client's work, the media, or even a bad work story you have experienced, and get some good out of it. “

We care about this stuff and it hasn't gotten much better. Our teams, our clients, and the planet need our full attention, creativity, and compassion to get out of the drama and into the good stuff quicker and stronger. So jump in with us.

Welcome to bad work stories made good. 

My name is Corina Roobeck, and with my co-host Emma Mathews we will be doing precisely that - in each episode, we will take a bad work story from our client's work, the media, or even your own bad work story and get some good out of it. 

This recording was made in July 2022 at a time when the then PM of the UK Boris Johnson had just resigned, Wimbledon had freshly crowned its champions, and Europe was experiencing its hottest days in history. In NZ, winter storms had us looking forward to spring.  

Join Emma and Corina as they riff on topics of the month starting with the rise of the concept of “Teamliness” over the traditional solo leader, Wimbledon celebrations, political campaigning, and whatever else emerges in their conversation.

 Is the "bad work story" our love of Solo power, and is the "made good" element the collective smarts of the team?  Listen to find out. 

Since this recording was made, the UK has appointed a New Prime Minister, and on the death of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a new King is in residence. 

Please note this episode comes with a trigger warning of occasional swearing and mention of nudity and, yes, menopause symptoms. No humans or animals were harmed in the production.

Join Emma and Corina as they riff on the bad work story of today -  Competitior vs culture. It can be scary to call out bad behavior in a meeting whether it's directed at you or you witness it.

It's on all of us to show up in these moments. 

Points covered: 

• The collateral damage that occurs when competitive behaviors go unchallenged
• The Acknowledge and Continue Strategy 
• The Pause and Address Strategy 
• How to use your own values and put the Company values to work ( for a change)

We end Season Two with a good work story - a reflection. 

In episode One, we started with a question - Are we the Bad Work story ? us - you and me. The humans who show up to work tired and distracted doing our best to survive and yet expected to deliver consistent levels of high performance. 10 weeks later, how are we integrating the habits which lay the foundation for collaboration, connection, energy and presence at work. 

As the Greek Poet Archilochus said 

“ We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” 

Here’s to increasing the level of our training when it comes to handling Bad Work stories. 

Points covered: 

•  Emma and Corina reflect on their own use of the foundational habits. 
• A summary of the key strategies we explored this season - from Valentines Day with love at work, to International Womens Day, Narcissism and how honesty can kill your culture and what happens when you have no time to enjoy cake. 
• A reflection on BWSMG - what's going well and what to keep working on

And a huge thank you to everyone who is on this mission with us. We are committed to spreading the message so if you have any feedback on the podcast  - the good, the bad and any Bad Work stories you would like to be address please email us. As a thank you for your time,  we offer you a 30 min chat with either Emma or Corina on a subject of your choice ! Get emailing !

Points covered: 

• The politics of pay 
• Tension in  teams - what can we learn from ‘player revolt’ and how different countries handled it
• Resourcing for success
• Culture from the start  - values and results.

In this episode, we explore a situation where a leader with positional power asks to be updated in a meeting because they are too busy to come prepared. The team member leading the meeting did what they were asked to do, felt terrible and now seeks alternative actions beyond the stronger words they had in their mind! We share several strategies to deal with this specific situation. 

Points covered: 

• Culture is your set-up for success tool. 
• Deal with trouble spots you know of in advance and be direct.
• Be careful of what behaviours from leaders you tolerate   
• How not to summarise and what to suggest instead 
• How trust, presence and emergence can be your friend
• The ‘Apologise and Let Go’ Strategy or the Rocky Strategy ( Corina’s dog) - change your position and go to sleep on the floor

2 weeks ago we did an episode that looked behind the scenes of the Womens Football World Cup and how the women involved need to double down on their resilience for games played off the field. When the Spanish team took to the winners podium, the President of their Governing Body grabbed the Spanish Captain, held her head with both hands and kissed her on the mouth. He said it was consensual. Jenni Hermoso said it was not. Local and Global outrage unfolded and finally 3 weeks after the final ( in the day we planned to record this episode) the Spanish federation issued an apology to all its shareholders and fired the victorious Spanish Coach, The President is still refusing to resign and as of today ( one day after recording) Jenni has filed a complaint against him for Sexual assault. 

Points covered: 

• Why we need to talk about this and not ignore it 
• How do we use this public and now global situation to increase dialogue within our teams on personal space and appropriate touching in celebration settings 
• What to do when your boundaries are crossed.

We are on a mission to end suffering at work. 

Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.  

A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “ and that's what we do here.

Each week, we take ONE Bad work story - and we share with you 

•  A Perspective for everyone. 
• A perspective / One insight for Leaders specifically 
• One practical tool that you can apply today. 

Take one or all 3 and  you can then change your Bad Work story for the good. 

We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations.   Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on. 

This week, we explore the lessons from the elite sports taking place in Europe - the Final of the Euros, Wimbledon Tennis and The Tour de France - when it comes to the all or nothing reactions to losing. What lessons can we draw from these events and apply in our work. 

Points covered

• What can we do differently as individuals to change the weight of our own and others' expectations ? 
• The impact of process goals v absolute goals  
• How do leaders hold the environment for a change in perspective of absolute failure in our culture? How do we role model something different and more empowering for the ongoing pursuit of the mission? 
• How a powerful but simple debrief can bring balance back into the system - self and the team and fuel future performance.

This week, we explore a situation where a team member comes away from an informal catch up with his team leader feeling uninspired and disappointed. Despite the leader saying they value care and connection, the one way focus of this conversation gave a very different experience. Fake or fallen… let's discuss.  

Points covered

• Before we judge - look in the mirror. Remember we are all human
• Leaders need to work harder and align with our culture, care for our people and stem the resignations and people loss in our organisations. All eyes, ears and hearts are on you. 
• Be clear on the purpose of your meeting and get present with each other.

We are on a mission to end suffering at work. 

Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.  

A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.

We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations. Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on. 

This week, we chat about passive onboarding and how it wastes time and creates unnecessary waiting and uncertainty. Pre installed alignment that quickly sets everyone up for success is possible - purpose and culture - USE IT ! Your new people will thank you for it. 

Thank you for joining us.

Today we celebrate our 2 year anniversary and we thank everyone who has listened, given us feedback and joined us on the mission to stop suffering at work. 

We are taking a podcast pause to work on creative development and will be back soon.

With Love Emma and Corina
