Business
In Week 4, we’re talking about the people in our lives at work; our team, our boss and our stakeholders. The people we work with and for, are a big part of our lives, and they can add to or create a feeling of stuck. How do we move beyond this feeling of frustration in a team dynamic, step up into our own voice and contribution and access the richness around us to feel less stuck?In this episode, Ann sits down with Gabriella Horak, CEO of What’s Your Edge? and creator of the trademark corporate programs: Your Edge – Your M.A.G.I.C ™, TeamQ ™ and the Success Culture model. Gabriella is a master facilitator and highly sought after business coach and speaker. With over 20 years of experience in sales, service, communication, learning and development she has worked with clients ranging from ASX 100 companies to SME’s, CEO’s, teams and individuals.Gabriella explores the notion of ‘success culture’ in teams and organisations. She believes that the most successful teams are based on several core fundamentals – physiological safety, trust, a sense of belonging, purpose and happiness. Through her work, research and experience, Gabriella also gives a somewhat controversial perspective on the importance of silos - or 'pillars of excellence' – and whilst they play an important role, she believes that to achieve greater success we must punch holes into these silos, connect more and truly understand each other.Offering practical advice on how to get unstuck, Gabriella explores her M.A.G.I.C formula that can be applied to challenging or frustrating situations. She says, focus on your: mindset, accountability, gratitude, individual habits and connection. She also challenges us to think about the ‘180 second rule’ – finding three minutes everyday to build a relationship or thank somebody. Face to face, over the phone or by email - finding ways to connect and show appreciation to the people you work with, is an incredibly important and impactful way, to make change and get unstuck.If you would like to connect with Gabriella, you can contact her directly via:Email: gabriella@whatsyouredge.com.au LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/2P2siv2Website: https://whatsyouredge.com.au/If you have a question that you would like answered, or you would like to connect with Ann and Amelia directly, you can email: careerandcoffeepodcast@gmail.comYou can also join our Career and Coffee community on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/career-and-coffee-podcast/ And find us on Instagram for bonus content: instagram.com/podcastcareerandcoffee
