This podcast describes an editing and content consumption platform called Spext that I have started using which dramatically simplifies the podcast creation process and allows listeners to more effectively listen to and share segments of my podcasts.

I have been podcasting for more than 2 years and have released 74 Develop Great Managers podcasts. It has been quite a journey – like nothing I have ever done before! I am a content expert but had no experience interviewing, recording, editing, or posting podcasts.

I enjoy creating podcasts and love helping managers to learn from the experts. But I have not been happy with the amount of time that I spend editing, assembling, and improving the quality of the final product.

That is, until now! I hope you enjoy!!

In this podcast, I share my thoughts on a good article, "Leading During a Pandemic, Four Critical Questions for Senior Leaders to Consider", about leading during a pandemic. The article and my comments are for ANY leader, not just senior leaders.

This is a great time to understand the challenges, leverage technological innovation, and step up as a leader. Be a part of defining the new normal!

Welcome to the second of two podcasts on Technical Program Managers (TPMs) with Orna Berryman.

Orna, my guest and expert on the topic, has worked at great companies, including Intel, One Workplace, Cadence Design Systems, Electronic Arts, NVIDIA, VMware, Google, and Facebook!

She has experience in training, organizational development, development management, program management, release management, and of course management of technical program managers.

I got to know Orna at VMware where she demonstrated incredibly strong leadership and management skills.  I could not be happier to have Orna on the show!!

This podcast focuses on how managers work with TPMs and some challenges that TPMs face and how they deal with them.

I hope you enjoy!

This podcast will help you to become strategic. It breaks this down into three aspects.

I am sure you will get value from listening!

In this podcast, I talk to Rupinder Saini who just recently joined Google as Director, Google Cloud Support Operations, about her career journey.

Prior to this, and for the last 13 years, Rupinder was at VMware as an executive in the Global Support Services organization. And before that, she worked at 01 Communique.

Rupinder has a Systems Analyst / Computer Science degree from Sheridan College and completed an Executive Women’s Leadership Program at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

I had the opportunity to work with Rupinder while at VMware. She ran a good part of the support organization in Broomfield, Colorado while I was driving the reinvention of the support model. She was someone that volunteered to help, brought a tremendous amount of experience, and always delivered!

I think you will get a lot out of my interview with Rupinder.

In this podcast, I respond to a request from a listener. The scope and complexity of his request are huge. As a result, I have focused on one aspect, which is driving change.

I discuss how important it is for managers to become great at evolutionary change. And how it is the unique manager who is confident, verging on cocky, that can also drive something revolutionary.

I hope that this podcast will be both interesting and helpful!

In this podcast, I talk to Anil Virmani, an experienced technology executive most recently with Adara, about his career journey.

Anil has had the opportunity to work at some great companies, including VMware, Coraid, Juniper Networks, Stratus Computers, HP, and Wipro. During his time with these companies, Anil has managed all aspects of product development and support.

Anil has his degree in computer science and throughout his career has worked on deep areas of technology across compute, networking, and storage. He has also worked most recently in big data and machine learning.

I got to know Anil while at Juniper. He was one of the seasoned leaders that I had the opportunity to work with while we were transforming the way JunOS was built and tested.

Anil is a leader who is deep technically, but his focus is on people. It is this combination that has made him successful, and the reason I wanted to have him on the show.

I know you will enjoy hearing from Anil!
