Episode 1: Are the Holidays Wreaking Havoc in Your Workplace?
Are the Holidays Wreaking Havoc in Your Workplace?
Join Kat and Andi as they have their inaugural discussion on “things we don’t talk about at work” – The Holidays!
Holidays can stir up angst and, at the end of the year, they seem to be never ending! Kat and Andi deconstruct some of the biggest challenges we face during the holidays and how to better take care of ourselves and each other as we make our way through the maze of work potlucks and gift-giving parties. The workplace (and our productivity) doesn’t need to suffer as we navigate traditions that are an important part of our human connections. Grab a mug of cocoa or your favorite hot tea and listen in for some fun highlights:
- How to avoid saying the wrong thing and offending others
- How to reframe holidays to be sure everyone gets the most from them
- How to be supportive of those who work with you
