This summer we're curating your playlist with some of our favourite episodes of BIZ - our podcast that gets your work life sorted!

Ever wondered why we reveal the secret weapon for decoding those frustrating moments when you and your colleagues seem to be speaking completely different languages.

Ever wondered why that one colleague drives you absolutely mental while another person finds them perfectly reasonable?

Discover the four distinct working styles that explain why some people obsess over tiny details while others just want to "get it done," and why the golden rule of "treat others how you want to be treated" might actually be sabotaging your work relationships.

You'll learn:
- How to instantly identify whether someone is a D, I, S, or C style (and what your own default mode is) 
- The exact one-liners to use with each personality type to get better results 
- Why your "difficult" colleague might not be difficult at all – just wired differently 
- How to explain your own working style without sounding like you're making excuses

You’ll finish this ep knowing exactly why your DISC profile is the difference between friction and flow in any workplace.
Whether you're managing a team or just trying to better navigate office politics, these insights will transform how you approach workplace communication.
