Emotion At Work

In this episode, you get to hear Nick Shackleton-Jones, Sukh Pabial & I explore and share our views of emotion, cognition, memory, and learning.  The conversation takes turns and explores areas I didn’t plan or expect and was really interesting all the same.   We talk about the affective context model where Nick suggests that as humans everything that we think, has an emotional basis behind it.  W...

In this episode, I tell my story or at least some of my story of 2017.  I found 2017 really hard.  Physically and more importantly (for this podcast) I found it emotionally hard.  I feel lucky that feeling content and settled with life is something that generally comes easy to me. 2017 was not like that.  Here I talk about how I struggled with my identity, with how I saw myself and that the realit...

In this episode, I stop and take stock. I do this about the podcast series so far, how the episodes have affected me and my practice, and about some stuff that has been going on for me personally.  I let you know a little more about the future podcasts still to come and what you can expect from the rest of the year.   References: None this time ;-))   Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast u...

This is a long episode. Mainly because this is a complex and complicated area.  Also though, Prof Dawn Archer and I are research colleagues and friends too. In this episode we get into a whole host of interesting and linked topics: Impression Management - how we work (non)strategically to manage how others see us Self Presentation - how we will work to present our 'best possible self' according to...

Fair warning: this language isn't really clean ;) Ever since I heard about 'clean language' I was not convinced it can be a thing.  Then I studied linguistics and decided it most definitely was not a thing, in fact, it was a load of rubbish.  However, as opposed to ignoring and dismissing it I wanted to explore it.  So I got in touch with the guest of this podcast episode, Judy Rees.  We had a cha...

Since I decided to start the podcast I wanted to get this guest on the series. Jessica Robles is the co-author of one of my most thumbed books (details below) and someone I have interacted with on Twitter for a while.  How we interact is a fascinating thing to me and in this episode, on Everyday Talk we get into: Does emotion shape talk or does talk shape emotion? Pragmatic Markers - how speakers...

This podcast is about sharing ideas, insights, research and experiences around emotion in the workplace. Since I decided to start the podcast I wanted to get a genuine neuroscientist on the show. This was important for me because there is a lot said about neuroscience in the workplace and I am just not sure that lab-based research can be generalized into the workplace. I also talk a lot about bein...

In this episode, Phil interviews two deep thinkers, authors and fascinating people; Khurshed Denugara and Claire Genkai-Breeze. We start with the idea of willingness as an underrated human trait. The willingness to 'as you go' share your weaknesses or flaws and be willing to work hard at the moment. We talk about 'near enemies' of things and as an example; the near enemy of being flawed but willin...

For this episode, Phil interviews a friend and colleague Dr. Samuel Larner (Link to bio below) where they delve into the world of language and what it can tell us about individuals and their thoughts and feelings. We start off exploring the language in speech and the notion of 'formulaic language' and in particular that the speed and fluency of speech would be too much of a demand on our brain (co...

In this episode, Phil talks with Georgie Nightingall about changing up the standard networking type conversation. A lot of the talk we do, especially in a networking-type setting is ritualized. What we mean by that is the types of questions we ask, the responses we give and the way we interact are almost pre-set.  A good example of this would be the classic 'So... what do you do?' type question at...
