Start The Week With Lorna & Lottie

Episode 21: We Are (Not) Family

Join Lorna and Lottie to discuss whether referring to your business as a family is a good thing or not, what happens when leaders and employees inadvertently fall into unhelpful patterns of behaviour and why Lottie has had a Sister Sledge ear worm all weekend. Live-ish from the Greek islands. Well, for one of us. 

Episode 20: But What Can I Do?

Join Lottie and Lorna as they waltz through a fundamental of getting Culture right in 30 (ish) minutes: how do you nail your organisational values?

Episode 19: The Great Mismatch

Join Lottie, Lorna and a SECOND special guest, Culture and Comms genius Jo Coxhill, as they get rather cross about the state of flexible working in organisations. Where is the trust?

Episode 17: Yes, And Then We Got Creative

Join Lorna and Lottie fresh from Lorna's improvisation workshop. Reflecting on how a cynical man from the Netherlands became a genius comic artist, why creativity needs certain conditions to thrive at work and the small things everyone can do to help it on it's way. (Pretending to be a dog poo and calling colleagues from the bath not mandatory).

Episode 16: Mind The Gap

Do you have a say-do gap when it comes to culture? What did the CEO of Ford mean when he said their values are 'non negotiable?' What does Lorna mean when she warns against toxic dumps in the cultural water? How many times can Lottie and Lorna say 'Mind the gap' in 30 seconds? Discover this and more in 28 minutes on Values, Behaviours and why Culture is an ecosystem.

Episode 13: The Sex (ual Harassment) Education One

Oof. This one was uncomfortable. Lottie and Lorna gather their courage to talk about why we are STILL talking about sexual harassment in the workplace, why it's so hard to talk about, and why if you want to prevent it, you can do worse than listen to Rudy Giuliani. Yes, really. Who knew?

Episode 12: The Trust Issue

Do Lottie and Lorna trust one another? Do your employees trust you? Do you trust them?
Ruminating on the state of global trust, why CEOs are in a uniquely privileged and precarious position, and where in the world is Lottie. Also, what did she say to Lorna?
