    My Top Team Predictions for 2025

    Hello, and welcome to Episode 253 of the People Powered Business Podcast! In today’s episode I’m following up on last weeks episode where is shared 5 strategies to help set your team up for success in 2025. Today I am sharing my top predictions for your team for 2025. My 5 top team predictions are: Job mobility will be on the rise: for a range of reasons, I believe we are heading into a season where more employees will be looking to change employers – this may be good news for you if recruitment has been tough for the last couple of years. Increase in the use of AI and associated technology: we’re already seeing job applicants actively using AI in their application process – so your hiring skills really need to be on point right now. But on the flip side, how can your team leverage these tools to help them at work? The right to disconnect implementation will be closely watched by your team. If you haven’t yet put any thought into the practical implementation of this new legislation now is the time. Focus on wellbeing at work will increase, and I expect this will ultimately become a non negotiable expectation of employees. Employee expectations will continue to increase. People are no longer looking for ‘just a job’ – they want to feel part of something bigger, like they are contributing and adding value, that they are valued. They want to work for purpose and values led businesses – and they will move if their expectations aren’t being met. So, what about you? What are your team predictions for 2025? I’d love to know.

    Dealing with Difficult People at Work, a share from Grow Your Influence

    Hello, and welcome to Episode 251 of the People Powered Business Podcast! In today’s episode I am sharing a conversation which we had over on the Grow Your Influence podcast, where my cohost Juliet Robinson and I were talking about dealing with difficult people at work – in fact it’s one of our most popular episodes ever! We waste so much time and energy dealing with people who behave badly. Often we put the conversation off for as long as possible and sometimes we avoid these conversations altogether. What we know is that avoiding dealing with difficult behaviour is not going to change anything. As leaders, there are some simple things we can do to connect with and manage difficult people, particularly if they are on our team. Starting with a plan is important and what you role model for your team gives them an idea for how they can also deal with these situations. We give you our top tips for dealing with these difficult people.

    Surviving This Silly Season with Sanity

    Hello, and welcome to Episode 249 of the People Powered Business Podcast! Wow! Isn’t December just the gift that keeps on giving? In today’s episode I’m bringing you a raw and honest conversation about what I’m noticing right now – because it is utter chaos! There are big decisions being made, huge reactions, overwhelm and high stress. Today I share with you that one of my secret super powers is seeing patterns – seeing patterns in lots of ways, but particularly around patterns of behaviour. What I see is that there are often common themes, and when I see them showing up, I know it’s not just these few people I might have spoken to that week, it’s a broader trend. What I’m seeing right now is quite high stress – zero tolerance, lack of resilience. I’m seeing successful business owners wanting to fire their whole team and just throw it all in. It’s very reactive, not responsive, not proactive. And there are lots of reasons. So today I’m talking about what I’m seeing and why it might be happening with business owners right now and how it impacts you as a leader and what your team see. I’ll also share some strategies and hacks to get you get this through this silly season with your sanity in place.
