100 Episodes of Work Besties: How it Started vs How it's Going

Description

What started as two coworkers laughing through stressful projects somehow turned into 100 episodes of Work Besties Who Podcast. In this milestone episode, Jess and Claude go back to the beginning: how they met, how their work friendship started, the stressful project that brought them closer, the matching outfits that put them “on the map,” and the chaotic little idea that eventually became this podcast. They also reflect on what has changed since episode one, what has stayed exactly the same, and why having someone in your corner at work can make all the difference. This episode is part celebration, part throwback, and part love letter to the Work Besties community. In this episode, we talk about: * How Jess and Claude first met * The stressful work project that bonded them * Why collaboration beats competition * The matching outfits and inside jokes that became part of their story * How the podcast idea actually started * What 100 episodes has taught them * Why workplace friendships matter more than people realize Since this is our 100th episode, we want to hear from you.

Collaborate & Influence: How to Make Meetings Actually Work with Jodie Goldberg

Bad meetings are not just annoying. They are expensive. In this episode of Work Besties Who Podcast, Jess and Claude sit down with Jodie Goldberg [https://www.fleurishconsultinginc.com/] to talk about how meetings can either build connection, clarity, and trust — or completely drain the room. Jodie shares why better meetings start with intention, not just an agenda. From setting a clear purpose to creating meeting norms, managing over-talkers, making quieter voices feel heard, and replacing random icebreakers with true relational strategies, this conversation is full of practical ways to make meetings more human and more effective. We also talk about why not everyone needs to speak out loud to feel included, how physical space impacts participation, and why a great meeting is not about whether it is 15 minutes or 60 minutes — it is about how intentionally it is designed. If you have ever sat in a meeting thinking, “This could have been an email,” this episode is for you. In this episode, we talk about: * Why connection at work needs to be intentional * The difference between icebreakers and relational strategies * How to create meeting norms that actually help people participate * What to do when one voice dominates the room * How to make decision-making meetings more effective * Why quieter team members may need different ways to contribute * How better meeting design can lead to stronger collaboration Your Supportive Work Besties, Jess & Claude You can connect with Jodie Goldberg at LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodie-goldberg-14264663/], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/fleurishconsultinginc/?hl=en], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/jodie.g.goldberg/] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2320118/fan_mail/new] You can watch the full episode on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@WorkBestiesWhoPodcast] Follow us on IG [https://www.instagram.com/workbestieswhopodcast/] , TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@workbestieswhopodcast], Threads [https://www.threads.net/@workbestieswhopodcast?xmt=AQGzJIAlmi4v4GGLkhPG-Dpl-NCWnl2KBIITy7l4BWQ4g3k] and LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/105908763/admin/dashboard/] Please rate, comment and provide suggestions for upcoming episodes Work Besties!
