Episode 201: The Power of “I Want…”

Bob 'n Joyce Talk HR 'n OD

In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce explore a simple yet powerful technique called “I want…”—a way to name our desires and aspirations out loud. As we cross the 200-episode milestone, we turn inward to uncover what we truly want from our work, and in doing so, open up new possibilities.

This candid conversation gets up close and personal, surprising even us with what surfaced. It’s a reminder that we often assume what others want—or even what we want—without asking or expressing it clearly.

The “I want…” exercise is a great tool for teams or families to explore their hopes and goals together. When spoken aloud, doubts give way to clarity and connection.

Bob ‘n Joyce break down how to use this technique at the end of the episode—give it a try and see what opens up!
