“Silence is golden, but sometimes it’s just plain yella”

Your input, your voice and your ears are powerful tools that contribute to the culture that you want, and are willing to accept.

Do you have a mentor?

Asking someone to be my mentor is surely a sign of flattery and likely would be a win-win situation for us both.

Stress Less

Research shows that 90% of Australians need to stress less - with 74% of people reporting being stressed from work.

Are you supportive? Always?

It's easy to be supportive of our friends or when it suits us, my responsibility as an employee is to exercise duty of care for ALL of my workmates, ALL of the time — this starts with support and respect.

Integrity wins

Respect needs trust, trust needs respect and personal integrity should be at the forefront.

Shame

There are no winners in workplace conflict.

Accepting and understanding that we are all susceptible to emotions such as shame is a start to responding to these issues.

Do you add or subtract the energy from the room?

Give people enough support, respect and kindness that they can see past the small energy sapping negatives.

Water is to goldfish as culture is to ..?

Our cultural self helps to define our identity.

Who I am is influenced by my upbringing, my family, life experiences, education, relationships, work experiences, trauma, tragedy, successes and failures.

Goodbye 2018, hello 2019

She said, 'I didn't want to be here, I thought this would be a waste of my time but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's given me lots to think about'.

Gossip

People can choose to engage in gossip and other harmful behaviours or they can choose to engage in respect.

Mentally Healthy Workplaces

I struggle to understand how little regard some workers have for others — compassion really shouldn't be difficult.

R U Ok? from the Dog

Let's treat others with the compassion that we would like to receive, we all have vulnerabilities, bad days and periods of high stress and not all of us are lucky enough to have our own Darby.

Respectful Teams - luck or effort?

We are not workplace clones without personalities or peculiarities, we are individuals, who, if we work together, have the capacity to create great teams.

Roz Taylor 17/7/18 Roz Taylor 17/7/18

Respectfully, I disagree..

Conflict is healthy. So, a workplace conversation between parties that don't agree should be easy and comfortable — shouldn't it?

Duty of Care

There is NO time in any element of management, where it is ok to sacrifice your duty of care to your staff.

Roz Taylor 28/4/18 Roz Taylor 28/4/18

The privilege of respect

We assume that respect and empathy come easily to all of us and all we need is gentle reminders - but how true is that?

Roz Taylor 2/4/18 Roz Taylor 2/4/18

Toxic Workplaces

There is no easy fix, one size fits all branded initiative to carry this to the next stage - the next stage is within the organisation and takes work and commitment.

Taking a leaf from school kids and Bullying. No Way!

Perhaps as adults we should take a leaf from the school kids and the Bullying. No Way! campaign.

Roz Taylor 22/2/18 Roz Taylor 22/2/18

Can I respect someone I don’t like?

In our personal friendship groups we can choose who we spend time with but what about in our professional lives?

Bystanders

What we choose to do as a bystander in these situations can make a huge difference to the parties involved.
