Iām so excited to bring you this conversation with Myriam Hadnes (https://workshops.work/) , host of the Workshops Work podcast.
Between us, we probably run the most popular workshop-related podcasts in the world (which is an easy claim to makeā¦ because it's such a niche!).
This episode is part one of our chat on the couch at my place, where we reflect on our past 24 hours together. If youāve ever questioned what it really means to be "professional" ā youāre going to love this.
Myriam is writing a book called Unprofessionalism (yes, itās as bold as it sounds), and in this conversation, we dig into:
ā Why professionalism might be getting in the way of our humanness
ā The weird things we do when the ārecordā button gets hit
ā The origins of professionalism (hint: it wasnāt meant for corporate life)
ā How the chase for polish and perfection makes us feel like imposters
ā Why AI will be the most āprofessionalā thing everāand why thatās terrifying
We also chat about the irony of losing an entire podcast episode last year due to a very professional recording setup failure (spoiler: this time, weāre just using my iPhone).
Tomorrow, part two drops, where we continue unpacking the fine line between professionalism and authenticityāand how to show up as your real self without losing credibility.
