73. Healthy Professional Relationships

Secrets From a Coach - Debbie Green & Laura Thomson's Podcast

In this, the first in our 'Healthy Working Relationships' series this month, we focus on how to create, maintain and sustain good effective relationships with the people we work with. When there is trust, respect and understanding then even the most challenging or stressful work situations can be dealt with. When we are surrounded by healthy relationships in work can also create great memories we can recall to boost our confidence later.
But when there is a nastiness, an unease or an edge to comments or banter - then even the easiest of workdays can feel like a nightmare due to the toxic culture.
In this episode we discuss healthy vs toxic work cultures and the impact that has on individual confidence as well as overall performance. We share how to spot the signs and the 3A's tool to remain empowered. Even if we have little control in that moment, we always have a choice.
If your working environment was measured like air quality, is it a healthy space enabling growth and innovation, or a toxic space that prevents it?
