Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Testing Peers podcast.
This time, join Chris, David, Simon and first-time host, Butch Mayhew.
Ahead of the main topic, Butch asks the group about their ideal superpower. We discuss controlling time, teleportation, flying, awareness (we’ll come back to that later in the episode) and Butch’s idea to have mustard and ketchup fly out of his fingers, because why not?
The Peers then dive in the topic of authenticity – inspired as a topic by Simon’s post on LinkedIn.
What does being authentic at work mean to you?
Values, where I stand, hills that I will die on, credibility, ethics, boundaries.
What does that look like in terms of safety at work? Boundaries? Respect? With different audiences?
Naturally, this can all be influenced by context (it’s a Peers pod, of course context comes into it).
We discuss accountability and feedback, as well as mental health, privacy and more.
