In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about Faith-based decision-making. What can you do to help you make better decisions and ensure they are aligned with what God wants for you and your team? When it comes to decision-making, we want to know that we are doing the right thing. Sometimes we have to make an on-the-spot decision and then it’s like we’re confused and don’t know what to do. 1. I’d like to share something that has really helped and supported me during my leadership journey. And it’s prayer! Now, you might say I already pray but I’m not seeing/getting a breakthrough when it comes to faith-based decision-making. When I’m praying I am specifically asking God for Wisdom, knowledge, insight and discernment in that particular situation or meeting. I pray this before every meeting, before every coaching session and even just before my day starts. 2. In addition to praying, God gave us a conscience and when you have received the Holy Spirit, you also have an additional way to tell whether you are making the right decision or not. How does this work? Well, I remember when I was working at the children’s church, the children’s pastor explained it like this: “When we are making the right decision, we feel a sense of supreme peace within us, however, when we are making the wrong decisions, we feel a storm inside our bodies, an uncomfortableness that can’t be explained. This is in essence the Holy Spirit trying to guide you. If you are feeling that storm inside you, I would recommend that you take some time and pray about it. Ask God to show you what it is about the decision that is not right. 3. You can also ask the council of others, and others to pray with you as well about your decision. It is always good to gain perspective from others. 4. I also like to sleep on a decision, sometimes just giving it time, is the best way. Who knows, tomorrow morning you might feel different about it. 5. If it’s a decision that you have to make on the spot, then just trust yourself, trust the knowledge and skills that you have already gained and Say a micro prayer in your head “God help me with this decision”. And then make the decision. But never go against your values, always stick to your values as a Christian. What if you made the wrong decision? Then reflect on how you felt when you made the decision, did you have peace or storm? We are always going to make mistakes and that unfortunately is just part of being a human being. So if you made the wrong choice, then just dust yourself off, and try again, come back and try again. But most importantly, don’t beat yourself up! To recap up: Pray Listen to what the God/Holy Spirit is trying to say Ask others for council Sleep on it With on-the-spot decision, trust your knowledge and Skills and say a micro prayer Reflect Next steps: 1.

Download the show notes here In this episode, I’ll be running you through Tuckman's 5 stages of team development. Let’s see if you can identify which your team is in… Why is it that some teams in your organisation get along so well and constantly meet their goals but others don’t? A couple of years ago, it all clicked when I learnt about Bruce Tuckman’s 5 stages of team development model. His theory is that every team go through 5 stages. The 5 phases are: Phase 1 - The Forming Phase Phase 2 - The storming phase Phase 3 - The norming phase Phase 4 - The performing phase Phase 5 - The adjourning phase Listen as I discuss when each phase commences, the traits of teams in every phase and the leader's role in every phase. ***From Conflict To Collaboration - New Online Course!*** In one of my upcoming courses - from conflict to collaboration, I’ll be sharing my Fighting Fairly Framework where I’ll be teaching you how you can teach your team to fight fairly as well as how you can successfully navigate and mediate workplace conflict.

**** Ranked Top 10% Globally **** Today we are talking about boundaries... Why are boundaries important? Well let’s get into it and I’ll answer that questions as I go through the 3 ways. 1. Social media One of the issues is that you are not only seeing the person at work but also they pop up on your feed. The lines become super blurred because you see them at work and then you see them on your phone uploading super silly things and I decided I wanted to protect myself, as this became an ethical issue for me. I didn't want my perception of them to change just because of things they do in their personal time, but also, I wanted to grant them the necessary privacy they deserve. 2. Events out of work hours Work events - yes. Personal go out and drink together and do silly things together - no. When we do all these personal things together, we cross the boundaries when we try and be “friends” with them. You constantly have to move between mate and manager and someone is going to slip up and you will reap the negative consequences of that. I believe there should be a clear boundary here to protect both you and your team. 3. Learning to say no You need to protect your own physical and mental health as a leader. That includes saying no sometimes and not taking everything upon yourself. Delegate those tasks that you know another person can do much quicker than you or even enjoy it. Sometimes we want to take things upon ourselves to lighten the load of our team, and now although that is beautiful and a wonderful thing to do, servant leaders often do this to the detriment of themselves, our families and our time. Yes, there will be times when you will have to jump in and help and work twice as hard, or longer than usual, but so long as that is seasonal and doesn’t become a regular occurrence, you’ll be fine, The art of saying “no” is really difficult for some, especially the people pleasers. Learn instead of saying yes immediately, rather come up with a statement or a phrase, like “I’ll think about it and get back to you” or “I’ll evaluate my availability and get back to you” etc. But do not say yes unless you can say with 100% certainty that you can commit to it.

What does accountability look like in your workplace? Even if you trust your team and trust them to work autonomously, there should be some form of check-in, provide feedback or update chat/meeting so that your team know, you care. Accountability does not mean micro-managing your team, constantly checking up on them or even having them constantly keep you updated or give you feedback. 1. Integrity Integrity is the foundation of good leadership. Integrity is a cornerstone of effective leadership because it builds trust, respect and confidence among employees. YOU are committed to doing the right thing, even when it's not easy or popular. As leaders, we’re constantly under the microscope, whether that is a. Because our team looks up to us and want to follow our lead, they trust us and want to learn from us or b. There is a toxic workplace culture and you are being chastised by your team for every possible little mistake that you make, they love pointing it out every time you try and speak to them about their performance, they simply throw your performance back in your face Integrity is doing the right thing, even if somebody isn’t looking 2. Clear expectations Listen to a more details version of this discussion in episode 8 & 9 where I discussed setting clear expectations with your team. The vision that I have about setting clear expectations is similar to the shark net and the flags that have been put in place to keep swimmers safe at the beach. Should they choose to go out of bounds, they will be in danger. Does your team know the consequences if they decide to go out of bounds at work? What will the domino effect be for the organisation, the environment and even their job prospects? 3. Professional goals Does every person in your organisation have a goal that they are currently working towards achieving? A goal that has nothing to do with your projects, strategic plans, long-term goals etc. But rather a goal that develops them, personally, and encourages them to be a better version of themselves and do their job role even better? 4. Relationship To cultivate a culture of accountability, relationships and trust will be key. How do we build relationships with our team and start trusting them to do their jobs. How do we move from micromanaging them to giving them autonomy and trusting them? Build 1:1 relationships with each team member, if you have a very large team, and you don’t have the time to meet with each of them, just remember that they want to be seen and heard by you, they want to know that you know that they exist. Find ways to connect with them, whether that be in department meetings, greeting them by their first name (which creates a sense of belonging because your first name is uniquely you, it is significant to you and if someone cares enough to know your name, it means something) 5. Follow-through What does follow-through look like? How will you physically (as per a policy/procedure) keep your team accountable if they don’t come up the mass if they fail to produce? There are practical steps you need to take for follow-through and if you are proactive in prepping for this, you are going to be reactive and act in the wrong way. Know what that will look like, not only from a black-and-white legal document point of view but from a practical way. Visualise yourself talking to someone who is under-performing. Prepare what you will say if they get defensive, or overly emotional, or angry. You must be prepared at all costs. This counts for the positive as well. How will you follow through if they do hit their targets, achieve a goal etc. What will that celebration look like? Your team will soon realise that they are in charge of their results, and no matter which way it goes, you will be there to follow through. 6. Support Let your team know what support is available for them, but also, identify who in your team needs what type of specific support and reach out to each of your team members individually to ask if they need anything. In a group, they’ll just smile and wave, but they’re more likely to open up if you have them 1:1 Stay tuned for the next episode coming to you on Wednesday. Next steps: 1.

Being resilient in this day and age is basically as important as having a meal to satisfy your hunger. It’s unavoidable. We’re living in some really trying times at the moment and every day when you watch the news, scroll through your feed or even just talk to a colleague or family member, you realise that there are some really lost people out there getting involved in all sorts of things that is not from the Lord. So how can we as female Christian leaders remain resilient and strong in the Lord and not be led astray by the things of this world? In this episode, I’ll be discussing 4 ways that you can do just that. 1. Pray and put on the armour of God, every single morning Ephesians 6:10-18 - New International Version 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour r of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Becoming resilient means you are able to cope with life’s challenges, changes, and uncertainties and being able to bounce back. Putting on the armour of God and praying on a daily basis for God to help you with life’s challenges, changes and uncertainties will greatly increase your resilience as you trust in Him. God wants us to trust in Him and go to Him with our problems. My prayer is always for God to give me Wisdom, Insight and knowledge above my ability and understanding and for a spirit of discernment in every single decision that I make in my day and the people that I work with. I ask God to show me His way for the day and help me with every decision I need to make. We have to realise that there are many bad people and bad things in this world that try to break and tear us down, and the last thing Satan wants is for you to step out every day wearing the armour of God. It’s basically the Wild West out there and we’re fighting just to stay alive. That sounds a bit rough, but I don’t think we should underestimate the spiritual battles going on right now in the spiritual realm. What Satan does want though is for us to fall and never get back up again. He will always fight to keep us in the deep dark pits of hell where we feel we just can’t continue anymore and feel absolute despair as if our only response is to give up. Pray and pray and pray some more, before every meeting, before emails, and get into the habit of trusting God for everything throughout your day. 2. Surround yourself with other believers Where do you surround yourself with other believers? Church, connect groups, friends, family, people who love you for you and will support you through tough times at work, that can pick you up when you fall, that can plough into you 3. Caring for yourself - Mentally - Spiritually - Physically 4. Journaling By journaling you gain the ability to see your progress over time builds resilience as you look over how strong you were during that time, and how you can’t believe you made it through, it also strengthens your relationship with God as you see how he carried you through. At the moment you might not see it, but when you are through it, you look at and you will stand in awe. ************************ Vote for the podcast in the Australian Podcast Awards: 1.

Setting Clear Expectations #2 Welcome to the second episode of the Setting Clear Expectations series. In this second episode, we'll discuss 6 definitive ways you can ensure you set clear expectations with your team so that there is absolutely no confusion! Here they are: Expectations must be realistic and obtainable Staff need to have clear objectives and must be linked to key results - understand what success will look like, provide context and further clarity where required Expectations must be measurable and linked to metrics Staff must be kept accountable & offered support Expectations and staff need to have clear deadlines and timeframes Expectations must be Communicated and documented Setting clear expectations is crucial for effective leadership.

This clarity minimises confusion, reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings, and fosters a sense of direction and purpose within the team. Moreover, clear expectations provide a basis for accountability, enabling leaders to measure and evaluate team performance objectively. Overall, setting clear expectations not only enhances efficiency but also builds trust, boosts morale, and contributes to the achievement of organisational goals. Next steps: 1.

Hey Friend! "A study by Gallup shows that nearly half of all U.S. employees don’t know what’s expected of them at work. The survey measures several workplace elements, including employees' level of agreement about clarity of expectations, opportunities for development and their opinions counting at work. The study’s authors believe that employees are less engaged at work when they do not have a clear understanding of what’s required of them." This made me wonder, how can we as leaders, truly know whether our expectations were clear or not? So in today’s episode, I’ll be sharing 5 ways you can tell whether your expectations were clear or not. Then in the next episode on Wednesday, I’ll be discussing how you can ensure you set clear expectations every single time. Here are 5 ways to tell whether your expectations were clear or not: Confusion Deadlines Performance Results Engagement Next steps: 1.

Gossip Series #5 Please listen to Episode #1-4 if you haven't yet. I left the best for last and I am super pumped to chat with you today about navigating gossip as a female Christian leader. Get your notebook and pen handy, because this is going to be a super tactical episode. Let’s do it! So by now you know all the negatives and you know that I feel super passionate about you doing something about those gossip girls, those gossip queens, the grapevine guardians. But what do you do about it? Are you ready, here we go. Pray Pray every single day that God will guide you, and give you wisdom and knowledge in every situation. Put on the armour of God: Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV) 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 2. Do self-reflection Ask yourself these questions and answer honestly. Do I gossip? Do I inadvertently encourage gossip? Do I talk the talk, but not walk the walk? Do I demand my team to respect each other, but I yell, embarrass, belittle, slander or gossip about my team? You don’t have to share this with anyone. But all I’m asking is for you to be honest with yourself, right here right now and in this moment.

Speak to your whole team about the new expectations moving forward Gather your team and let them know that you are committed to providing them with an environment that is positive, encourages growth mindsets and is a safe space for them to be in. Let them know that gossip will no longer be tolerated and that you are making a commitment and would like them to make a commitment as well, to strive for a gossip-free environment. When you join my program, I will provide you with a script and we’ll run through this together, I will coach you through the whole process and we’ll even do a couple of practice runs when your team don’t agree or doesn’t want to participate or when they are being difficult. What do you do? We’ll be doing some intensive training on this so you are super prepared and know exactly what to do and say. 5. Start spotting the gossipers Start documenting when and where people are gossiping, and who are they gossiping about. I would recommend keeping a OneNote document with each of your team members having their own tab and then just start keeping notes on each of them. This will greatly help you down the line when you have to have more serious conversations with them or even issue warnings etc. If you are not keeping individual notes on your team yet, I would highly recommend you start. This in particular felt icky to me as a leader because the bible says in 1 Corinthians 13 1: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record

Gossip Series #4 In the previous episode, we discussed the 8 damaging consequences gossip can have on an individual. If you haven’t listened to it, head there now and then come back to listen to this episode where we’ll be discussing the 10 devastating consequences gossip can have on the organisation. By now, It’s no secret that I feel passionate about eradicating gossip in your workplace. Today, I want to talk to you about the devastating consequences gossip can have on your organisation. Let’s start by looking at this from a workplace environment perspective: 1. It will cause a toxic work environment - which can lead to fixed mindsets where people are unwilling to change, unwilling to accept change and unwilling to grow themselves or the organisation. 2. Decreased Innovation: Gossip can stifle creativity and innovation as employees may be hesitant to share new ideas or take risks for fear of becoming the subject of gossip. This can hinder an organization's ability to adapt and compete effectively. Let’s look at this from a Human Resources perspective: 3. It will cause high staff turnover. After all, why would someone stay in your organisation if they are being bullied and mistreated? Your HR team will be working extremely hard to attract talent and then also to retain it because people will come and then go again if the environment is toxic. 4. This can then cause damage to the organisation’s reputation. Remember people talk. They will leave the organisation and tell people not to go and work for it as it has a toxic culture. 5. It can cause legal issues. People who decide to not leave the organisation might take legal action against the people who they believe are bullying them, discriminating against them, harassment claims, a hostile work environment or even defamation claims. This leads us to the financial consequences gossip can have: 6. Legal costs - to deal with any claims that have been made as mentioned in the previous section 7. Increased employee turnover, will cost the company time and money. The cost of recruiting, hiring, and training new employees to replace those who leave can be significant. 8. Decreased Productivity: Gossip often leads to decreased productivity as employees spend time engaging in gossip rather than focusing on their tasks. This can result in missed deadlines, incomplete projects, and overall lower output, all of which can impact an organization's financial performance. 9. Increased Absenteeism: Gossip-related stress and anxiety can lead to increased absenteeism, as employees may take sick days or personal days to avoid the workplace. This can result in additional costs related to paid time off and the need to cover absent employees. 10. Customer Perception: If gossip about internal issues becomes public or reaches customers, it can affect their perception of the organization. Negative publicity or a damaged reputation can impact customer trust and loyalty. Feeling stuck and don't know what to do? If you are feeling stuck, I’d like to invite you into my No More Gossip 6-month group coaching program, where I’ll be taking you through my step-by-step system of eradicating gossip and going from toxic to thriving.

Gossip Series #3 Welcome to the 3rd part of the Gossip Series. In part 1 we answered the question ‘Is it really gossip?’ In part 2 we had a look at what God says about gossip in the bible. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I’d highly encourage you to listen to them first. Gossip can have some really devastating and damaging consequences for the person who is being gossiped about. In this episode, I discuss 8 devastating consequences workplace gossip can have on the individuals being gossiped about. Damage to Reputation: Gossip can tarnish an individual's reputation, leading to personal and professional setbacks. Erosion of Trust: Gossip erodes trust among peers and colleagues, leading to strained relationships. Negative Emotional Impact: Gossip can cause stress, anxiety, and even depression, negatively affecting an individual's mental health. Isolation: Those targeted by gossip may feel isolated and excluded, leading to a sense of loneliness. Impaired Self-Esteem: Individuals subjected to gossip may experience a decline in self-esteem and self-confidence. Reduced Productivity: Gossip consumes time and energy, reducing an individual's productivity at work or in personal life. Impact on Mental Well-being: Gossip can lead to mental health issues, contributing to a negative overall well-being. Has 2 parts: a. It can affect their relationship with God and b. it's the same as letting Satan loose into your workplace. Remember James 3:1-12 says: “And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself” As leaders, we have a duty of care towards the person being gossiped about. We have to protect them from the harm that gossip can cause. All organisations have risk assessments in place. Why, because they assess the risk of any decision being made, any new equipment being purchased or any new procedure being implemented. So as to protect the organisation from harm, but more importantly, to protect the people in their organisation. That’s why we have insurance in place as well, right? So why are we not risk assessing gossip and the consequences it can have? I have therefore created 2 free resources that you can access when you join the Facebook Community: A risk assessment and management tool, that you can use to assess the risk and consequences of gossip in your workplace. A workplace Culture Survey, which you can give to your team to fill out at your next team meeting, so you can start assessing what everyone’s mindset is regarding the current workplace culture.

Gossip Series #2 Have you ever wondered what God thinks about gossip? Have you ever wondered what the bible says about gossip? In this episode, I dive deep into the bible to discover what God thinks about gossip and what the bible says about it. Gossip is extremely destructive, yet people continue to do it without understanding the real consequences of it. The bible clearly and very strongly speaks against gossip and warns of the consequences, should you decide to gossip or even listen to gossip. Gossip, you see, it's like a sneaky toxin that can poison the very essence of our communities, and yet, it often slips by unnoticed. But here's the thing: the Bible doesn't mince words when it comes to gossip. It offers clear warnings and powerful insights into the ripple effects it can create. This episode has some serious truth bombs and I believe now is the time for us as Christian women to rise up and stand up against the toxic environments that gossip causes. As leaders, it is not only our duty but also our duty of care towards everyone we lead to eliminate gossip and enable thriving environments and communities at our workplaces. And here's the beautiful part - as Christian women leaders, we have a unique calling to nurture environments of trust and respect, to be the change-makers who silence the whispers. It's not just a duty; it's a divine mission. We can no longer sit back and hope that gossip with just go away. It won’t… Unless you are willing to do something about it. So why don’t you join me, join me in standing up and saying “NO MORE GOSSIP!”. Below are all the verses in the bible that speak and warn against gossip. There are a couple of words used interchangeably, for example, slander, warnings of your ‘tongue’ and your ‘words’. They are all listed below. Bible verses about gossip: Prov 16:28 - A troublemaker plants seeds of strife: gossip separates the best of friends. Prov 26:20 - Fire goes out without wood and quarrels disappear when gossip stops. 2 Cor 12:20 - For I am afraid that when I come I won’t like what I find, and you won’t like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarrelling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behaviour. Ps 15:3 - Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbours or speak evil of their friends? 1 Tim 5:13 - And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t. Lev 19:16 - Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people. “Do not stand idly by when your neighbour’s life is threatened. I am the Lord. Proverbs 20:19 - “…do not associate with a gossip.” Proverbs 11:13a - A gossip goes around telling secrets but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence Bible verses about slander Matt 15:19 - For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. Mark 7:21-22 - For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. Eph 4:31 - Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behaviour. Col 3:8 - But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behaviour, slander, and dirty language. Prov 10:18 - Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool. 1 Tim 3:11 - In the same way, their wives must be respected and must not slander others. They must exercise self-control and be faithful in everything they do. Titus 2:3 - Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honours God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. Titus 3:2 - They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarrelling Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone. 2 Peter 2:2 - Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. Romans 1:29 - Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behaviour, and gossp. 2 Corinthians 12:20 – Both differentiate gossip from slander and condemn it as the result of a depraved mind, unfitting for Christians. 2 Thessalonians 3:11 – Both condemn “busybodies” who “speak about things not proper to mention.” Bible verses about the tongue Jas 3:7-8 - People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. Ps 34:13 - Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Prov 13:3 - Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything. Prov 15:4 - Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Prov 17:20 - The crooked heart will not prosper the lying tongue tumbles into trouble. Prov 18:21 - Death

Welcome to the first episode of the new Gossip Series. In this first episode, I'll be answering the question... Is it really gossip? I've often been asked what is the difference between Office Chatter and Gossip. Let's define each of the terms: Office Chatter: Office chatter refers to casual and often light conversations that take place in the workplace. It includes discussions about work-related matters, general news, and even personal topics that aren't meant to be harmful or damaging. Office chatter can help build camaraderie, create a sense of belonging, and foster a positive work environment. It's typically harmless and contributes to a healthy workplace culture. Gossip: Gossip, on the other hand, involves discussing personal or private matters about others, often without their knowledge or consent, and frequently with a negative or judgmental tone. Gossip can be damaging as it spreads unverified information, harms relationships, erodes trust and creates a toxic work environment. It often focuses on personal aspects of someone's life that have no bearing on their work performance or job responsibilities. Distinguishing Factors between Office Chatter and Gossip: Intent: Office chatter aims to connect, share experiences, and create a friendly atmosphere. Gossip, however, often involves spreading information with the intention of causing harm, stirring drama, or undermining someone's reputation. Content: Office chatter encompasses a wide range of topics, including work-related matters, shared experiences, hobbies, and interests. Gossip tends to focus on personal details, rumours, judgments, and negative assessments of individuals. Effect: Office chatter contributes positively to workplace culture by building relationships and fostering a sense of community. Gossip has a negative impact, eroding trust, creating tension, and damaging morale. Consequences: Office chatter can strengthen bonds and improve team dynamics. Gossip can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and a decline in productivity. Listen as I also share what you can start doing immediately, regarding gossip in your workplace. Next steps: 1.

In this episode, I discuss what workplace culture really is, why it is so important and why you should care about it.. a lot! Workplace culture consists of 2 things: The relationships between people The things that people do 1. The relationships between people Ask yourself the following reflective questions: What are the relationships like at your workplace? Do people show respect to each other or do they disrespect each other? Do people have healthy debates or constantly engage in unhealthy conflict that has no resolve? Do people have fixed or growth mindsets? How do people cope with change in the organisation? What is communication like in your workplace? The relationships we have with one another at work affect our workplace culture. If there is a lack of respect for each other, a lack of trust, a lack of compassion and a lack of caring for each other, workplace culture will suffer. However, on the other hand, if people respect each other, trust each other, have compassion towards each other and truly care for each other, workplace culture will thrive. 2. The things that people do What are the unwritten rules at your workplace or organisation? What are unwritten rules? Unwritten rules in the workplace, often referred to as workplace norms or informal codes of conduct, are a set of expectations and behaviours that employees follow, even though they are not explicitly documented in company policies or formal guidelines. These unwritten rules shape the work culture and influence how employees interact with each other and perform their job duties So, think about what are the unwritten rules in your workplace. What things do people do, that are potentially unacceptable, but because everyone does it, no one cares and there are no consequences? For example, lunch breaks. Does everyone return to work on time after their lunch break, or do they simply take their time? After all, no one cares and their line managers never speak to them about returning late. This mindset can quickly spill over into other job tasks and therefore productivity and ultimately the company's bottom line will suffer. In this episode, I discuss 4 steps that you can follow to commence changing workplace culture in your workplace. Next steps: 1.

Welcome to the Women of Faith in Leadership Podcast. In this very first episode of the podcast, I share my journey, my testimony and why I started this podcast. I was born and raised in South Africa and grew up in the church, surrounded by friends, family and colleagues (eventually) that were all Christian. I also met my husband in the church. My husband, myself and our 2.5-year-old daughter immigrated to Australia in 2014 and it was only really then, that I understood the true meaning of being a Christian. I was surrounded by non-believers and I was 1 of only 2 people at my new workplace in Australia. My faith and relationship with the Lord grew immensely during a very tough time. Some people purposefully went out of their way to be mean, blaspheme, and use the Lord's name in vain in front of me. There were also a lot of worldly discussions about what they did on the weekend and I just didn't get involved in any of those conversations. Gossip was also rampant in that workplace and to be honest, it was a toxic environment. I was culture-shocked for a while, wondering if we had made the right decision to move from South Africa to Australia. It was a tough time and I had to stand firm in my beliefs and in my faith. The Lord has blessed me truly for my faithfulness in Him and my trust in Him. Skip a couple of years and a few other work environments, I had the wonderful opportunity to lead a team. I knew this was my time to decide what workplace culture I wanted, not only for me but for my team. I wanted my team to thrive at work, to enjoy coming to work and for that to happen, there could be no gossip, no negativity, no fixed mindsets. So I had to go to work. That time was tough as well because I had to weed out the people who refused to change. I definitely ruffled some feathers and a lot of people were upset with me. However, I also had great supporters and people who were in my corner wanting the same thing as me. But overall, I had God in my corner. I prayed a lot during that time and God showed me the way. He gave me the necessary tools and steps I needed to take to get rid of gossip... for good! in my upcoming From Gossip to Growth program (launching in 2024), you will be able to learn these steps and with my support and God behind you, you'll be able to get rid of gossip in your workplace as well. If you'd like to put your name down on the waiting list for the program, please fill out this form: No-More-Gossip Program waiting list. I became really passionate during this time about workplace culture and started understanding why it was crucial that I maintained a positive and constructive workplace culture. COVID hit and because we were all like a work family, we were able to support each other immensely. I believe it is important that you start thinking of your team as your work family. Depending on your working hours, you spend more time at work than what you do at home with your own family. Therefore it is crucial that we realise that the environment at work is in fact important because you spend a lot of time there. I also share how the Lord called me into the women's ministry and how I always thought He meant in a church. But this podcast is what He meant. When I spent time with Him and in His word, He showed me that this podcast would be the ministry He called me into. I am here to serve you through Him, through His glory. So, if you have been engulfed in a toxic workplace environment with an organisational / workplace culture that isn't ideal, then you are in the right place! Stay tuned, because, in the next episode, I will be discussing 'What is workplace culture and why you should care about it'. Directly after that, I will be delving into a Gossip series where I will be discussing what gossip is, how it differs from everyday office chatter, what the bible says about gossip, what are the consequences of gossip and why we can't afford to just ignore it.

Welcome to the Women of Faith in Leadership podcast Are you passionate about leadership but often feel inadequate to deal with the difficult situations you face on a day-to-day basis? Do you battle with balancing faith-based leadership principles and the worldly perspectives of your colleagues and team members? Do you constantly have to address workplace culture issues like gossip, a lack of communication, conflict, a toxic environment, workplace bullying or bad attitudes? Are you sick of the relentless fighting with your team, leaving you feeling like a failure? Are you desperate to implement change but don’t know what to do? Should you just quit your job and take the easy way out? Hey, I’m Rika Whelan and I understand all too well the challenges leadership brings, especially as a woman of faith. I had so many aspirations as a leader. What a wonderful opportunity to coach, and mentor and lead a team… But then… humanity happened, the human factor. My idyllic idea of leadership quickly turned into an everyday battle with toxic people who couldn’t care less about others. I didn’t realise how unpredictable people could be and it truly hurt that people could be so cruel and mean to each other. I knew I had to take action and put the necessary boundaries in place to stop gossip in its tracks and to change that toxic environment into an environment where people could thrive and grow. But I didn’t know how. It felt like I was in a deep dark pit and no one could help me get out. Except God! I began to pray and went into battle, fumbling as I went, making many mistakes along the way… but I went… and today I am so proud to stand here and say I did it and, friend… so can you! God showed me the way and gave me the wisdom I needed to put the necessary steps in place and by His grace alone, I experienced a beautifully peaceful and thriving workplace where my team actually enjoyed coming to work. I finally had the opportunity to coach, mentor and lead a wonderful team. I was equipped back then and now I am called to help Christian women like yourself who are desperate for a map, a navigation system to show them the way. The good news is that there is a way that you can successfully navigate workplace culture without selling your soul. There is a way that you can happily lead your team, set clear boundaries and finally enjoy coming to work. In this podcast, you’ll learn practical steps to navigate all things leadership, workplace culture, faith and boundaries. So grab your coffee or water, keep that notebook and pen handy, and let’s jumpstart your leadership… with God at the Centre of it all. Next steps: 1.
