Gabriella Braun on Human Risk At Work

Published: Jan. 21, 2023, 6:14 p.m.

What happens when we bring all of ourselves to work? That\u2019s not something we do by choice. As my guest on this episode, Gabriella Braun, explains, we can\u2019t leave part of ourselves at home when we go to work; we will naturally bring all that we are into the workplace.

That concept explains the title of Gabriella\u2019s book \u2018All That We Are: Uncovering the Hidden Truths Behind Our Behaviour at Work\u2019. It\u2019s an astonishing collection of stories in which she shares insights from over twenty years of taking psychoanalysis out of the therapy room and into the staff room.

As you\u2019ll hear, in her work, she helps people to understand why employing humans means employing them in their entirety \u2014 the good and the bad. In the book and in our discussion, she talks about why a board loses the plot and nearly causes their company to collapse \u2014 spoiler alert: they survive \u2014 and why a lawyer becomes paranoid at work. And she makes some amazing revelations about her own life.
