Be Unfuckwithable

BasTalk - everyday at work!

play

10/13/22 • 10 min

Many speak about being this picture-perfect image of a leader, full of poise, calm and collected, yet vulnerable, sensitive, and thoughtful, all critical traits of a

successful leader, aren't they? Then you paddle, waddle, flip-flap, slip and trip, walk, talk, think, and plan about the next survival plan. The optics are terrible.

Hours turn to days, days to quarters, huffing, puffing, pulling, and pushing through a difficult situation, and someone you can't stand asks how you are. You think I'm like a duck, calm on top and furiously paddling below, but choose to offer a polite smile and nod without uttering a word.

Your gut churns. But it's not over. You're in for a surprise.

Work pressure is real, and it does not make for any excellent optics!

Moonlighting:Employers & Employees

BasTalk - everyday at work!

play

09/29/22 • 17 min

Your honeymoon is over!

How many times have bosses said that to new employees? How many times did employees get a chance to reply? And if they did, guess what the employee would like to say in return?

What goes around, comes around!

The curious case for moonlighting: simply put, it is a situation where an employee chooses to work for another organization simultaneously while being gainfully employed. Sounds unfair, right? Or is it fair? Let us examine this from both points of view, that of the employer and the employee. Join me in this exciting topic exploring both sides of the story, employers and the employee's version, and then find out if Moonlighting works or not.

Are you listening or hearing?

09/30/22 • 18 min

You are in a meeting. Yes, the same one you were in, the same time last week, yes again, the same one you were in at the same time, the week before!

You've heard the message before, and you're pupils begin to dilate. You hear what's being said, but it's not registering in your head.

Then the manager turns towards you and asks a different question! You are jolted. The mind is blank.

Are you not listening? Asks the frowning manager. The people around the table are staring at you.

And your mouth is dry as you struggle to utter some sensible response.

Does it sound familiar?

Tune in to this fascinating topic of hearing versus listening. I share three tips to break out of hearing people and get into a proper listening mode!

3 ways to tackle failures

BasTalk - everyday at work!

play

09/08/22 • 16 min

How did it feel when you won that MVP award? I'm sure it must've felt great. And how did it feel when you were left out for the promotion over your

fiercest rival? Miserable, I guess. How did it feel when you got your dream job, and what happened when you were laid off?

For many, the feeling of loss is a far stronger emotion than the thrill of a victory, because no one taught you how to cope with a loss.

So who taught you how to lose? Was it your teacher, your parents, friends, or siblings?

Chances are the answer for most people is no one.

We live in a world where the emotional distance between winning and losing is staggering. Yet, all management gurus advise not to be too affected by

either success or failure. The question is, how? How do we not get affected by a failure or a loss when the world constantly reminds us

of what we missed and what others gained?

Tune in to this episode of BasTalk, where I share a coping mechanism or framework to deal with failures, defeats, or losses.

Twitter Identity Crisis

BasTalk - everyday at work!

play

11/05/22 • 16 min

Unlike the Bourne Identity, Twitter may never get to know what it really is, or was?

If a loss making company lays off 50% of it's staff, and restructures its infrastructure - what's wrong you'd think?

The question to answer is:

  • how did we get to this point in the first place? Poor governance of some, can't become the bane of thousands!
  • what happens to those "productive"employees who are mentally broken?
  • what happens to fake profiles?
  • what happens to privacy?
  • how will $8 change/address any thing?

Tune in to this fascinating episode of BasTalk.
