Coffee Club E6: BDD, Joy, and Helping People with Problems rather than Inflicting Practices
Apr 18, 2024
“What’s the moment when you can help people understand the cause of some pain they’re in and offer them something that’s going to help with the pain?”
Mark Richards
Rebecca’s back from Disneyworld! Mark’s discussion with two of his children about BDD triggers a fun exploration of our experiences with introducing it. We detour through Mark observing some people trying out Eric’s new PI Objective toolkit before life gets a little contentious.
Somehow, a chat about introducing tools and concepts ‘when people need them’ rather than ‘because you should’ triggers an exploration of motivation. Rebecca never strays too far from joy, Mark gets accused of being anti-joy, and Eric believes you don’t have to find joy in the workplace to be a great employee!
