Welcome back to Stand Up To Stand Out! In Episode 10, we speak with Anne-Laure Le Cunff about psychological safety in the workplace. We explore how teams can cultivate a secure environment even without explicit support from leadership. Anne-Laure highlights creating a personal user manual as a team, a powerful tool to optimize team dynamics and performance.
We kick off a compelling discussion on the significance of honing soft skills in low-pressure settings, and Anne-Laure shares her rich experiences with public speaking in small group formats. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the value of deliberate practice and the confidence it builds over time.
We also tackle post-pandemic work dynamics, tips on co-creating effective feedback mechanisms, and the fascinating "Ikea effect," which reveals how active participation boosts the utility of tools and processes. Anne-Laure introduces you to meta-learning strategies that focus on optimizing how we learn, recognize patterns, and respond to situations effectively.
Tune in as we discuss long-term retention, the effectiveness of learning sequences, and Anne-Laure's unique journey from cognitive neuroscience researcher and wine seller to writer and educator. Discover how storytelling can make your ideas more compelling and the importance of finding surprising elements in your narratives.
Finally, we touch upon the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, the role of curiosity, and the need for self-knowledge in sustaining long-term, challenging goals. Don’t miss Anne-Laure’s practical advice on understanding your intrinsic motivations through self-reflection and journaling.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that promises to equip you with actionable insights to enhance your workplace interactions and personal growth. Stay connected by subscribing to Anne-Laure's newsletter for more valuable content.
