Topics for Emeritus Professor Gary Martin
- The changing face of work
Our workplaces are in a constant state of flux. New trends and issues come and go creating challenges for those for employers who are obliged to stay up to date with what seems to be a moving feast. This keynotes provides a helicopter view of what’s happening on the workplace front and speaks to the strategies needed to deliver enhanced outcomes for. - Respect in the workplace
Leaders across the country are telling employees to do their bit to create more respectful workplaces. As straightforward as it may seem to tell people to be respectful to and of others at work, respect can be a slippery concept. One of the biggest mistakes many of us make when it comes to being respectful in the workplace is believing we know exactly what respect looks like. This presentation unpacks what respect means in the workplace. - There’s a dark side to our positive vibes
We are in this together. Everything happens for a reason. It could be worse. It is what it is. Platitudes like these and others will continue to roll off our tongues as challenging times continue with many in the workplace attempting to put a positive spin on upsetting, disturbing or tragic circumstances. While there’s little doubt that there is merit in being positive in tough times, there’s also a disturbingly dark side to our overly optimistic ways – something called toxic positivity. This presentation exposes the dark side to being too positive. - The ageist workplace
It is rarely blatant and often quite difficult to spot, but it is coming to a workplace near you. Welcome to the not so wonderful world of ageism, where employees – usually over the age of 50 – are passed over for jobs, promotions and training on the grounds of age. Learn about what makes ageist workforce practices and what to do about them during this presentation. - The rise of emotional intelligence (EQ) in the workplace
Every workplace has someone like this – super bright but unable to “get” with the rest of the team. It could be that they lack emotional intelligence or EQ as it is known. This presentation highlights the importance of EQ in the modern organisation, will attempt to define the concept, and will assist participants to determine the extent to which they possess emotional intelligence. - The seven Q’s of leadership
Most of us have heard of EQ (Emotional Intelligence) and IQ (intellectual Quotient) and their importance as key leadership attributes. But EQ and IQ are no longer enough to ensure effective leadership. This presentation takes a look at some new and emerging but essential other Qs or attributes – MQ, BQ, TQ, CQ and AQ. - The sorry state of the apology
In public life, business, at work, and in our personal lives, we've become increasingly hesitant to apologize to those who we have wronged or hurt, fearing the perceived vulnerability or loss of power that may accompany admitting fault. This hesitancy often leads us to resort to pseudo apologies that fail to pass the "sincerity sniff test", offer our regret too late – or in many cases, avoid apologies altogether. However, genuine apologies can serve as bridges to reconciliation and restore trust. This session will identify flaws in our existing approach before delving into the intricate dynamics of delivering heartfelt apologies. Participants will gain practical strategies and techniques to navigate through discomfort and deliver sincere apologies, fostering empathy, accountability, and healing in both personal and professional relationships.
