Show Notes

Most of us can remember learning the "Golden Rule" as kids.

The idea of "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you" carries with it some useful advice on being thoughtful in your interactions with others. However, when it comes to unlocking and empowering others, the Golden Rule may not be the best way forward.

In today's episode of "Unlocking your People," Jess introduces two fundamental concepts that offer a new way to look at interaction in the workplace, especially when your goal is to build an engaged, passionate team who love what they do and where they work.

You'll learn the importance of getting to know your team and their preferences, as well as the "Platinum Rule," a more insightful way of thinking about your interactions with people, especially those that are different from you. 

You'll also discover why we often fail to use useful ideas and strategies, even when we understand their benefits.

Jess provides tangible examples of the concepts of "intention" and "impact," and why the impact of your words or behaviours can often be quite different from the intention behind them. Understanding and validating that intention is key. 

Join Jess as she guides you through these fundamental ideas - concepts that will help you interact with your team in a more positive way, empowering them and unlocking their potential.
