On this week's Career Therapy Podcast (e.79), we welcome Liz Kislik to the conversation.
Liz is a management consultant, executive coach, TEDx speaker, and contributor to Harvard Business Review and Forbes. She spoke at TEDxBaylorSchool on Why There’s So Much Conflict at Work and What You Can Do to Fix It, and is the author of Workplace Wisdom: How to Resolve Interpersonal Conflicts in the Workplace, available as a free ebook.
In today’s episode we talk about conflict, including the strife bubbling between employers and employees during this time of Great Resignation; how using the phrase “poor baby” can help you build empathy, and what you can do to control your inner conflict so it you can stop reacting to things and start leading your career with a balanced, empathetic worldview.
Also, my favorite part of the episode - asking the question …is this person being malicious, or just stupid?
