Productivity Coach Clare Kumar shares:
Clare explains an expansion of the focus of the Happy Space Podcast to include not only highly sensitive people but everyone who has felt marginalized. She urges a consistent commitment to designing inclusive performance to invite the richest contributions from all.
Hi! I’m back again with a solo episode to share more about the expansion of the podcast from exclusively being about highly sensitive people to designing inclusive performance. Have no fear, I’m not leaving highly sensitive people behind, in fact fellow HSPs play a central role in upcoming episodes.
In this episode, I touch on the tug-of-war that exists between leadership and employees when it comes to returning to the office and how for many, this way of working is not new. I continue my commitment to both a bottom-up and top-down perspective recognizing that both individual agency and self-determination are important as is the very tall order of systemic change.
We look a little more closely at recurring topics of light and noise and then dive into what to expect in the five following episodes featuring the likes of a 45-year-legend in the industry, Tom Peters, to recent startup WorkTripp – the Airbnb of work retreats. I hope you’ll listen, share and drop a review!
00:03:14 Expanding focus – spotlight to floodlight
00:13:30 There is a tug-of-war going on
00:14:12 We have to realize that even if we wanted to “go back” WE ARE NOT THE SAME
00:16:44 I explore from the BOTTOM-UP
00:20:06 And from the TOP-DOWN
00:21:31 Inclusivity is not just about the LOW-HANGING FRUIT
00:27:31 This is NEW FOR MANY
00:32:10 Let’s aim for BETTER DESIGN
00:36:35 What about NOISE?
00:39:50 And LIGHT?
00:44:34 What’s COMING UP?
