In this episode of The Workplace Podcast, William Corless sits down with Rebecca Hinds, organizational behaviour and future-of-work expert and author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done. From meeting overload and “Meeting Doomsdays” to multitasking, productivity theatre and the rise of AI, Rebecca shares practical, research-backed ways to rethink one of the most common—and costly—parts of working life. They explore why bad meetings were once recommended as a wartime sabotage tactic, how organizations can reclaim hours of lost time, why standing meetings can be more effective, and the simple 4D CEO test for deciding whether a meeting deserves to exist at all. A practical conversation for anyone who has ever looked at their calendar and wondered: Does this really need to be a meeting?

In this episode of The Workplace Podcast, William Corless is joined by Oscar de Bos, author of Focus: Fuel Your Attention to Get More Done, to explore the neuroscience behind focus, distraction and productivity. Why are our brains so easily distracted? Why can doing nothing actually make us more productive? And could the way we manage our time be part of the problem? Oscar shares practical insights into focus management rather than time management, including the four “concentration leaks” that drain our attention, the importance of mind wandering and boredom, the impact of interruptions on deep work, and why managers have an important role to play in protecting their teams’ focus. They also discuss decision fatigue, digital distractions, power naps, creativity and simple ways to design our working environments and habits around how our brains actually work. A practical conversation for anyone who wants to work with their attention rather than constantly fighting against it.
