Facing, Dealing With and Resolving Conflict

Picture
Tim Duggan's new book, 'Clear In Tension: How to Get Better at Conflict' explores why conflict has become one of the biggest workplace challenges of our time. Drawing on years of research, interviews with world-leading psychologists, negotiators and business leaders, and his own experience leading media company Junkee Media, Tim writes a weekly column on work for two high-profile Australian newspapers, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. In this episode, we discuss his book, which is a thoughtful, actionable guide that shows us how to navigate difficult conversations, build stronger relationships, make better decisions, and grow personally. Conflict truly isn't a problem to eliminate; rather, it's a skill to master.

Reclaim Who You Are. Let Go of the Script

Picture
Christian O’Connell is the only breakfast radio host to have a hit #1 show in 2 countries, the UK and Australia. Today he hosts Australia’s first National Breakfast show. Once described as “furiously funny” by the UK Times, Christian dominated the UK airwaves for 20 years, with a huge daily breakfast audience of 2 million. Then he quit, moved to Australia to host The Christian O’Connell breakfast Show on Melbourne’s  GOLD104.3, and it was a disaster, starting a story of darkness, anxiety, self-doubt, loathing, humour, self-discovery, and finally victory. We discuss his new book, 'Unscript: The Radical Act of Being Yourself'. It's a book about disregarding the script and reclaiming who you are.

Jim Murphy has now become one of the most sought-after high-performance coaches on the planet.

An Honest Conversation About the Truth

Picture
We are living through a plague of misinformation. From innocent errors to deliberate propaganda, truth is being eroded at speed. In his new book, 'To Be Honest: How making truth happen builds better businesses, lives and societies', author Dom Thurbon explores why truth is not a "nice-to-have", but the crucial foundation of a healthy business. Through extensive research, real-world case studies and wide-ranging interviews, Dom talks us through how honesty, healthy scepticism and having the courage to lean into hard conversations can drive innovation, performance and ultimately build trust. A former Partner at EY and world top-10 debater, Dom has delivered presentations on trust across the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Asia.

The Mindset Shift to Create an Abundance of Time

Picture
Laura Vanderkam is a successful author of many time-management and productivity books and a mother of 5 children. Laura's work has appeared in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and Fortune. Many have an adversarial relationship with time, constantly trying to beat the clock, issues rooted in a fear that time is scarce and must be obsessed over, hoarded, and ultraoptimized. What if there is a different way to view time? One that could make our hours feel abundant. We break down Laura's new book, 'Big Time. A Simple Path to Time Abundance', in which she shares how we can have more than enough time to advance our careers, relationships, hobbies, and health, be a mum to five kids, and more, simply by changing our approach and mindset to time.
