S10E226: Is Work Killing Your Relationships? with Sabrina Starling

Is your work killing your relationships? For nine in ten business owners, the answer is heading that way. Dr Sabrina Starling started out as a psychologist in community mental health, burnt out, and rebuilt her working life around one limit: a 25-hour week. Today she runs Tap the Potential, hosts the Profit by Design podcast, and has written the How to Hire the Best series and The 4-Week Vacation. Val is travelling, so Dale hosts solo. They get into: Treating your time as worth $10,000 an hour, and what that means for what you stop doing Why there are no "big C" emergencies in business, and what constant availability costs your team Her research: nine in ten entrepreneurs are burning out Serving the top 20% of clients who drive 80% of revenue, and hiring only for that sweet spot Giving every role one clear key result Dale's PMO story: cutting 70 monthly reports to 12, and nobody complained Building up to a fully unplugged 4-week vacation A deeply personal story about why time, not money, is what matters most Get Sabrina's chart of $10,000 an hour activities: https://tapthepotential.com/10k/ FIND SABRINA Tap the Potential: https://tapthepotential.com/ Profit by Design podcast: https://tapthepotential.com/profitbydesignpodcast/ FIND US Website: https://projectchatter.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/projectchatterpodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoudjc2m0ttmAkyvBnf8EnQ The Project Chatter Podcast has been running since 2018 and is free to access, always.

S10E224: Why We Forgive Bad Behaviour At Work with Lisa Martello

We spend a fortune on governance, tooling and RACIs, then lose our best people to one person who nobody will have a difficult conversation with. Lisa Martello has spent her career in rail, from a Transport for London graduate scheme to programme and director roles at HS2 and beyond, with detours into utilities and construction. By night she runs Catching Bees, a 20,000 strong following built on holding a sarcastic mirror up to workplace behaviour: the exec petting zoo, the strategic seagull, talent stretching, the one way flex. In this episode she makes an argument most organisations quietly avoid. We are far too forgiving to the people behaving badly, and far too demanding of the people on the receiving end. The victim gets a list of actions: gather examples, prepare, call it out in the moment, call it out afterwards, book the meeting. The culprit gets the benefit of the doubt. We also get into: Writing bids and then wishing you could deliver them, and what changes when you become the client Why the fun is seeping out of projects at exactly the point teams need it most The five step slide from benefit of the doubt to resignation, and where leaders usually intervene too late How "below the line behaviour" gets weaponised to shut down anyone who says the project is in trouble Code switching, unprofessional hair, and the role model who arrived at exactly the right moment Skanska's two word intervention, "not cool", and why sitting in the discomfort works better than a meeting Three steps out of dickhead territory, including the "is it me" moment that stopped Lisa from performance managing someone out of a job she has since excelled in Imposter syndrome as a preparation engine, and a healthy disregard for authority A serious conversation with a lot of laughing in it.
