Throughout our work lives, we change jobs - sometimes, we get a promotion, move to a new organisation, or move within a company. It happens all the time.

Often, the initial transition can be bumpy and influence your entire tenure in a role, so this week, we explore some ways that you can ensure a smooth transition and maximise the impact you have in a new job.

Preparing for new responsibilities goes beyond the usual inductions or initial training. We share a tried-and-tested (by Jimmy, at least) model from Michael D. Watkins, and we will also help you plan any transition so you can start in your new position as you mean to go on!

You'll also learn why James has a phobia of office furniture and question whether Donald Trump prepared appropriately for his new position.

This week's special guest is Graeme Rainbird, a Leadership expert and self-confessed question addict.

Questioning is something we do daily, but with little thought, Graeme talks about the power of questions for shaping outcomes and relationships and gives some hints and tips for asking great questions. It's an easy but impactful win, so check out what Graeme says.

This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, so you'll also get an insight into our attitudes and ability to ice skate!

Get in touch with Graeme to learn more about the power of questions and all aspects of leadership. Contact: graeme.rainbird@peoplebusiness.co.uk or visit his website:

You or someone near you suffers from one of these.....

This week, Steve Shutts joined us to discuss energy-limiting conditions, which impact 15 million people in the UK or 1 in 5 in the workplace. These conditions are a silent challenge for many, often not talked about or understood, and consequently negatively impact many people's working lives.

Steve shares the extent to which these conditions impact people, provides insights into how to make the workplace inclusive for people with ELCs, and discusses the benefits this can bring to individuals, teams, and organisations.

We will all work with people with ELCs, and many of us suffer from an ELC ourselves, so take the time to educate yourself on this subject and the great work the charity ASTRIID does in this space.
