Two blokes, ex-corporate, talking nothing and occasionally something.
Banter with purpose. Maybe.
We're just two blokes rambling on about our many years in the corporate world. We mainly talk a lot of nonsense — but occasionally touch on the challenges of working life, how we dealt with them (for good or bad), and how we're adapting to lives of not doing very much.
The Nothing Box is the room men go to when there's nothing to say and everything to think about. We brought ours online. No agenda, no script, no producer in our ear — just two ex-corporate lifers, a microphone, and the kind of conversation that used to happen at the bar after the third drink. Sometimes funny. Sometimes useful. Always honest.
Our own scribbles.
The pieces we keep passing across.
Newest first. Everything else sits in the archive.
In Episode 6, Turps talked about his personal leadership principles that he carried throughout his career; tried and tested, ‘been there done that’ advice. Here's the full list . . .
in Episode 5 we playfully talked about the need for senior people in large organisations to be, and seen to be 'important'. It's part of the survival kit for working in a hierarchy. Whilst we were taking the piss, there's still some truth in what we said, and whilst we have exaggerated some of the behaviours, some you may still recognise. Here's the list.
In our first couple of episodes, we both talked about the end of our careers -one of us through choice, the other less so! Either way, that move away from a lifetime working in the corporate world came with some challenges for both of us. This short article talks about some of those challenges, but more importantly, optimism about what comes next.
In episode 5, we took a light-hearted look at how senior people in large organisations can become obsessed with being important, and part of that obsession includes continually searching for that next role, that promotion, that increased status. This article by Panners talks about the time when, for him, that started to become less of a priority.
