Send us a textEpisode 2 brings us to the Marketing department, where a mystery Christmas hamper lands on Desk 14, belonging to the formidable Margaret - patron saint of “I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed.” Cue panic, silence, and the kind of tension only a British office can generate over chutney, cheese wheels, and a questionable ribbon.A tiny moment of misplaced gifting turns into a masterclass in pattern spotting, calm thinking, and stepping up when no one else will.In this episode you’ll hear:A whole office freeze because Margaret simply asks a questionThe Business Development junior’s walk of shameThe “Bold move” whisper that tells you everything about workplace politicsWhy small acts of courage create huge ripplesPower Move: Make It Matter Little Move: Deliver clarity when everyone else is dithering.What You’ll Take Away: Office drama is never about the hamper. It’s about ownership, expectations, and knowing when to act instead of stare.Contact Caroline [email protected] orConnect with her hereReady to make your next bold move?
