About this episode
Welcome to bad work stories made good.
My name is Corina Roobeck, and with my co-host Emma Mathews we will be doing precisely that - in each episode, we will take a bad work story from our client's work, the media, or even your own bad work story and get some good out of it.
This recording was made in July 2022 at a time when the then PM of the UK Boris Johnson had just resigned, Wimbledon had freshly crowned its champions, and Europe was experiencing its hottest days in history. In NZ, winter storms had us looking forward to spring.
Join Emma and Corina as they riff on topics of the month starting with the rise of the concept of “Teamliness” over the traditional solo leader, Wimbledon celebrations, political campaigning, and whatever else emerges in their conversation.
Is the "bad work story" our love of Solo power, and is the "made good" element the collective smarts of the team? Listen to find out.
Since this recording was made, the UK has appointed a New Prime Minister, and on the death of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a new King is in residence.
Please note this episode comes with a trigger warning of occasional swearing and mention of nudity and, yes, menopause symptoms. No humans or animals were harmed in the production.
Enjoy the episode.
