Learning From The Edges
The world of work is full of friction. Departments work in silos. Work gets stuck. Teams find workplaces are not as easeful as they could or should be. And in all of this human beings are caught in the challenges, resulting in poor work, mental health worries and worse. As a research project, Learning From The Edges will look at the edges of work, where friction exists and explore what gets in the way of work and of learning. Why is there friction? How can work be more fruitful for organisations and people? What barriers do people have and what practical ways they can overcome those barriers?

Learning From The Edges
Episode #11 Our brain: understanding and fine-tuning our key work tool. With guests Hilary Scarlett, Phil Willcox & Stella Collins.
Friction is often thought of negatively, however, let's ponder how friction may indeed be an essential element we all need in order to perform at our peak.
In this podcast we discuss our feelings, emotions and how we physically respond to different situations.
Whether aware of it, or not, our brain is constantly stimulated and reacting to the environment we are in; be it a busy office, full of noise and energy, or conversely a remote location, a place for focus in our isolated setting. Isn't it interesting how both can be equally full of distraction - which is also often a source of friction.
No matter our chosen or prescribed workplace, ultimately how we think and feel impacts how we perform in all aspects of life.
Join us in our latest episode where we explore how people function and what we can do to influence our performance, as we dive in to explore how neuroscience, our bodies and our behaviours play a key role in all of our personal development.
