Let's get to today's episode:
Everyone listening to this podcast probably falls into 1 of the following categories:

1. You’ve noticed that there is gossip in the workplace and you have spoken to your team or certain people multiple times about gossiping but it simply doesn’t stop
2. You’ve noticed that there is gossip, but you’re simply too busy to deal with it, so you do nothing
3. You’ve noticed that there is gossip, but you actually don’t know how to deal with it and you’re afraid of conflict, you don’t want to ruffle up some feathers, so you just leave it
4. You’ve noticed that there is gossip, but you’re just annoyed by it, seriously these people are adults, can’t they just stop being so childish and just get on with their work?! You ignore it and you carry on
5. You’ve not noticed any gossip, to be honest, you’ve been a little bit too busy, but you’ve heard from other leaders that it’s becoming a problem, but you continue to ignore it, you’re too busy!

Which category do you fall in?!

The "I’m fed up, I’ve tried everything category", the “I’m too busy category, or the "I know it’s a problem but I don’t know what to do about it" category?

In today’s episode, I want to talk to you about how you can take your team from gossip to growth with my new upcoming program "From Gossip to Growth"

Not too long ago, I was in your shoes, whether that was not knowing what to do, feeling helpless or frustrated, and also feeling determined as a leader to get rid of gossip.

I have seen it all.

I was once part of the problem where I too gossiped. I then became the subject of everyone’s gossip as the newbie or outsider at a new workplace, and I was a leader, who took over from another leader where gossip was rampant and I had to do something about it.

So what did I do?

Well, through trial and error and learning the hard way, I successfully got rid of gossip and kept it that way for the full time that I was still working there, obviously I am not there anymore, so I can’t speak for how it is today, but through my learning and trial and error I have created a system that has not only worked for me, but have now also helped others.

So today, I am excited to share with you, how you can work with me to learn how to get rid of workplace gossip and go from gossip to growth with your team.

1. The first way is through my upcoming book, From Gossip to Growth. It will be launching towards the end of the year, and I am looking for a launch team. You’ll receive my book, completely free of charge, in exchange for a review on launch day and sharing the book on your social media. This is very exciting as this will be the best way for you to gain full free access to both the book and the free training that I will be offering to people who purchase the book. Click the link to register your interest to receive your free book.
2. I’m launching brand new training in 2024, where I’ll be taking you through my step-by-step process of what you need to do to get rid of gossip. I just want to make clear that this is different from the podcast episode 007 Navigating Gossip as a Christian leader. There are some similarities, but this training will provide you with the exact steps, conversations, meetings, documents and everything you need to have and take to get rid of gossip.

Register now (obligation-free) to learn more about the upcoming program ‘From Gossip to Growth’ launching in 2024.

In the meantime, I will be running monthly 1 hour workshops for free as well, these are live Zoom trainings. There is one coming up on 30 November 2023, click the link to join me for free.
