#TALK

Punishment and Humiliation

What does punishment and humiliation look like in a professional context? Is it ever justified? Why do we use punishment as parents, as a society or as leaders? And most importantly, does it work? Or rather, does it work the way we expect?

Team Team

In this interactive session we will explore what these behaviours look like in a professional context, and get to grips with the difficult question of why we do it and do we need it? And while we're at it, do we need to blame at all?

This will be a deep journey discussing, for many, challenging topics, expect to be disrupted!
