2 Pieces of Content
To Inspire
Here are two pieces of content that I hope will help you see the world slightly differently and provoke you to do the work that matters to humanise the workplace.
We’ve come to equate saying “I see it differently” or “I don’t agree” with being angry, rude, or unkind, so it makes most people horribly uncomfortable. Disagreements are an inevitable, normal, and healthy part of relating to other people. There is no such thing as a conflict-free work environment. And you shouldn’t want to work in one. Disagreements – when managed well – have lots of positive outcomes, such as better work products, opportunities to learn and grow, better relationships, and a more inclusive work environment. To reap these benefits, you have to get over any fear you have of conflict.

Something I've been pondering...
“How do our values hinder us? We rarely ask ourselves this question. It almost threatens everything I've been taught about values. I rarely hear anyone ask this question. Why do you think that is? I've been asking myself this question a lot lately. As my life changes and evolves, it's helping me acknowledge that my values (and beliefs) are more fluid than I feel comfortable with. While our values can be a force for good, they can also hold us back. The hardest part is recognising when they hinder us."

Sarah Leberman MNZM is one of New Zealand's most influential leaders. She believes that leadership is not about the title. Everyone can exercise leadership. We've been conditioned over many years to behave in a certain way and many leaders are hesitant to embrace emotion because in her life it was seen as a weakness to show emotion. But it's Ok to be compassionate and show empathy and be strong. You can show emotion and be an excellent leader. Emotional leadership is all about getting to know your people as people first.
