Unprofessionalism

Dr Myriam Hadnes

Most career advice tells you to hide uncertainty, perform confidence, and never let them see you sweat.This podcast is about what happens when you ignore that advice.Unprofessionalism is a series of conversations with people who broke professional conventions and discovered something better on the other side: the designer who ignored the "approved tools" and saved thousands of hours. The founder who built a practice by openly admitting gaps in expertise. The consultant who called out dysfunction

2023/05/02

Organisations will go to great lengths to create style guides, knowledge hubs, and team guides… so why aren’t they doing the same for problem-solving?Stefan Fothe believes organisations should be prioritising ‘thinking tools’ — a set of codes, methods, and skills that are shared among groups to problem-solve and ideate with autonomy and ease.Just as we develop shared technical languages and social hierarchies, we can surely add thinking tools to the mix!

An organisational change process is a big deal. The whole operating system of a business can change, the context switches, the foundations can falter.But systems are systems — they are malleable and hard-wearing. People, on the other hand, are sensitive and emotional and often hugely resistant to change. And it is people who have to live, work, and operate within these new systems.Rhys Cranney wants the whole concept of change management to move away from a focus on systems to a focus on people and

Bob Dick believes this is the optimal approach to group structures — to be self-organised, not instructed or commanded.Quite how we can consistently achieve this is another question; one that Bob has been experimenting with for as long as he can remember.Bob has rich experience in creating self-organising groups, facilitating their development, and knowing what not to do.

Why Conflict is a Gift: The Inner Journey of a...

2023/04/11

Conflict in workshops is common, but how many of us seek to avoid it instead of embracing it?It’s understandable, and dare I say natural, to do so, but as Sarah Norton and Steve Ray explain in this episode, conflict is a growth opportunity. The journey through conflict can be uncomfortable, but the destination beyond it is one of radical difference.Sarah and Steve have trained countless facilitators in the art of conflict facilitation — not ‘management’ or ‘resolution’, but precisely ‘facilitation’

No CEO or board is going to sign off on a project to make work more playful. This is because the misconception that play = games persists.The reality, however, is that more play at work will lead to more effective teams and better collaboration.Pauline McNulty joins me in this episode to explain why play, enjoyment, engagement, and purpose are all faces of the same die. When we roll it, they are all possible outcomes and they are all connected.If we are bringing a group together to deliver on a goal

Workplace training and learning can inspire some varied responses. For some, a roll of the eyes and a sense of wasted time. For others (usually those who work with Steph Clarke), a brightening and lightening as possibilities open ahead of them.Why is it that workplace learning is so variable across organisations? Steph can point to several root causes — and we spend this episode diagnosing the faults and suggesting their fixes.From applying facilitation skills in unusual ways to bringing groups on

2023/03/14

Emotions are messy — they’re big, powerful, and changeable. Facts and data are much more palatable — they’re truths and we can discuss our use of them.But if an organisation is so focused on cognitive culture, they end up neglecting emotional culture. And that’s a sure path towards burnout, resentment, and employee turnover.Cognitive culture is easy to default to, so how can organisations get comfortable with the discomfort of building a more emotional culture?

Ib Ravn sees the opportunities here with great clarity and, as a result, has a lot of valuable insight to share about how we might use SDT in facilitation.In the context of SDT, we also discussed how facilitation can be used in social spaces and situations — and the

It’s never been more important to facilitate with an awareness of power dynamics, systemic imbalances, and inequity within groups.The progress we’ve made—collectively—towards awareness and understanding of inequalities has been enormous, but the next big step is to do deliberate work to counter it. We’ve got all the awareness we could dream of and the time has come for us to act on that knowledge, rather than treat it as an end in itself.Maha Bali’s explanations and exemplifications of Intentionally

Things—found objects, ephemera from the discarded world, are everywhere. A marble, a spoon, a coil of string. They’re forgettable and ignorable and they’re the magic ingredient that makes Jules Gilleland’s workshops work.Jules developed Things as a problem-solving tool, informed by design thinking, to help people connect the dots and capture their problems in a physical form.
