Episode 29: Dealing with extreme positions at work
We can see it in the current election results, in the comments on social media or in a conversation at the coffee machine in the office: our society is deeply divided on issues such as war, migration, climate change, gender or vaccination. Polarization does not stop at families and friendships. Of course, this also applies to the world of work, where conflicts and differences of opinion can put a strain on team morale.
In this podcast episode, we talk to psychologist and life coach Derya Bobrik and clarify: How can we stay in conversation, even if our opinions on the issues of our time differ greatly? Where are the boundaries, and where can we find common ground again through curiosity and openness?
