Future Podcasts

Future podcasts will focus on understanding people in reference to various work settings, business services and social relationships, a range of topics on the psychology of human behaviour will be discussed. In order to earn we need to learn to understand people; if doing business internationally we need to understand and give respect to different cultural norms. Understanding managers, clients, customers, work colleagues, being aware of people’s emotions is therefore of great importance. 

• Managers need to understand staff 

• Staff need to understand work colleagues (group/team work is dependant on having good work relationships). 

• Unemployed seeking work need to understand Interviewers/corporate rules  

Learning Psychology

Morel is an Educator with academic credentials in Psychology and with many years experience teaching adult learners the subject of Psychology. Human behaviour is a fascinating subject and most people are usually interested to learn more about people’s attitudes towards life. Furthermore, the work space is the main setting where we meet others outside of our circle of family and friends, this provides sufficient rationale for creating the podcasts to inform and provide knowledge about human behaviour. 

Conformity

The question of whether staff can show-up as their authentic self is discussed in this introductory podcast  and aspects of psychology applied. Why do some of us feel that we must hide our tattoos, unshaven face or a chosen hairstyle from the gaze of managers and work colleagues? This behaviour suggests that we feel that they will judge us negatively. Prior to Zoom meetings taking place in the comfort of our own homes, some employees will therefore take great care not to fall foul of corporate rules, in view of attire and presentation. Heavens forbid that our tattoos should show or our natural hair revealed. Do you feel that you have to hide the real you from work colleagues, do you feel that you must conform to corporate rules, even when working from home?

Social Influence

Conformity is all about the power of social influence, we get influenced by groups, and we can also be influenced by the individual (example: work manager). 

People’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours are sometimes influenced by others 

The following 3 points are important in Social Influence and Conformity

• Actual  
• Imagined  
• Implied presence of others or an individual 

The 3 points above are explained in the introductory podcast, do have a listen; podcasts can be found on most platforms. Here is the link to Study Coach podcast on Apple:
