This podcast is about sharing ideas, insights, research, and experiences around emotion in the workplace. Here we explore the breadth and depth of emotions so listeners can use what we discuss to help enrich lives or help protect from or reduce harm. We focus on the roles #emotion #credibility and #deception play in the workplace.
For this episode, we interview Ben Fletcher (@arrowmaker76 on Twitter and here on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-fletcher-2a95252/?ppe=1) and he is sharing with us his personal journey to working with a purpose. It started at a function level with his role as an FD and translated it across to running a whole business when he stepped inte the role of MD as Boots Opticians. It was here that Ben and I met and collaborated.
During our chat, we explore breaking stereotypes, the role of identity in the workplace, and in particular the role the business has in shaping identity. There is a balance in the podcast between what we think, how creating purpose-led functions/businesses happens, and advice for others wanting to go on the same journey. Ben tells us some of his top tips for creating a true purpose-led business and shares some resources that he has and continues to use to help create purpose-led businesses. During our conversation, we talk about some specific things and they can be found here:
