Human beings – and the organisations we work in – can be perplexing. Things happen on a regular basis that make us go, ‘Really?!’ , alongside the projects and milestones we feel proud of. Today’s guest, Gabriella Braun, sees that this is because we do not leave parts of ourselves behind when we go to work. We bring all that we are.

In this episode, Elloa speaks with Gabriella Braun, Director of Working Well, a consultancy to organisations, and the author of ‘All That We Are: Uncovering the hidden truths behind our behaviour at work.’ This is a conversation for leaders and managers, as well as anyone coaching or consulting to organisations.

The conversation explores:

• Seeing emotions as a source of information in the workplace

• Why knowing yourself well enough is vital to being helpful as a leader, consultant or coach

• What it means to work with the unconscious

• Her book, ‘All That We Are’

• How we can put up collective barriers and barricades

• Difference and diversity

• The story of the incredible West-Eastern Divan Orchestra

• The extent to which Gabriella has hope.
