Work @ Life: Is Your Inner Critic Running the Show?

Most of us experience an inner critic, a voice that may tell us we are not a good enough parent, friend, are behind in our career. Most of the time this voice can be a pest and drain our energy, but in some cases it can actually propel us to do better. It may depend on how we listen to it, or what kind of action we take on it.

 

Join our conversation with our special guest Jasenka Šabanović from The Fast Forward Group and learn how to be better aware of your inner critic and how to more productively incorporate it into your life.

The Culture Chat Podcast: Aligned Workplace Cultures Take Intention, Deliberation, and Work!

In this episode we hear from Jennifer Marszalek, Chief Talent Officer with Havas Chicago on the extent to which she, her team, and her organization go to "walk the talk" when it comes to their workplace culture. They've gone far beyond the lip service many organizations still pay culture. They take the time, make the investment, and dedicate the resources to making sure everything they do - the way they behave, the things they say, the way they work - reinforces and clarifies the things that drive their success. There are no questions about it - whether you're on the inside looking in or on the inside looking out. It's this kind of intentional culture management work that can become a differentiator for your business. And it certainly has for them.
