Episode 5 - Emotion at Work in talk - Negotiating Identity in conversation

In this episode, Phil talks with Georgie Nightingall about changing up the standard networking type conversation. A lot of the talk we do, especially in a networking-type setting is ritualized. What we mean by that is the types of questions we ask, the responses we give and the way we interact are almost pre-set.  A good example of this would be the classic 'So... what do you do?' type question at a networking event. During our conversation, we go on to explore conversations in the workplace, in teams, online and the link to the identity or identities we build for ourselves. We also cover identity at work, at home, and how the boundaries can/do/will become blurred. I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with Georgie and below are the links to all the different theories or concepts we have discussed:   Relevance theory and meaning: http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/publications/WPL/02papers/wilson_sperber.pdf https://www.thoughtco.com/relevance-theory-communication-1691907   Trigger Conversations and their events: https://www.triggerconversations.co.uk/ https://www.triggerconversations.co.uk/#EVENTS   Conversation(al) rtiuals https://hbr.org/1995/09/the-power-of-talk-who-gets-heard-and-why https://youtu.be/CFa2m-tLIaE   Allowable contributions http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/soc/faculty/heritage/Site/Publications_files/CA%20and%20INSTITUTIONAL%20TALK_LSI.pdf   Allowable contributions and improvisation: https://www.bangor.ac.uk/mindfulness/documents/DisciplinedImprovisation.pdf   Books: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Artists-Way-Discovering-Recovering-Creative/dp/0330343580 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tools-Titans-Billionaires-World-Class-Performers/dp/1785041274/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499675468&sr=8-1&keywords=tools+of+titans   Thanks for listening.
