Why do small things at work sometimes trigger big reactions?


A throwaway comment. A meeting that doesn’t go your way. A moment of feedback.


🎙️ I loved talking with Helen Beedham on The Business of Being Brilliant about what’s really going on in those moments – and what helps.


We explored:


 🟣 Why we get triggered – and how to work with it

 🟢 How unmet needs shape team dynamics

 🟠 Empathy vs sympathy – and why the difference matters

 🔵 What your “fingerprint needs” can teach you about thriving at work

Needs Understanding is such a powerful and flexible tool.

It's helped me to find new ways forward in challenging situations, and to build even stronger relationships.
