Forging Ahead

Had a chance to spend just under an hour with my friend Morgan. 

-We talk about the "Future of Work". 

- Morgan gives real actionable advice on how to set up your work-space for your people. She has a cool way of thinking about design (worker personas!). It's about the individual!

- How to be thoughtful about remote work.

- How to approach internal communications.

- Helping people use data to make the right real estate decisions.

- AND if you fast forward through the whole thing, PLEASE listen to the last section. Morgan shares a really powerful story about starting Camp Kita, a place that she and her siblings started to help kids cope with suicide loss. This section rocked me a bit and I hope you listen. It's hard to give a shit about office design after hearing Morgan's story.

- Check out campkita.com if you want to learn more about it.

Lydia started our chat by ripping my face off with a tremendous intro. From there we covered how to build "exemplary people practices." She talked about how critical it is to build strong foundations early, compensation philosophy, organizational structure, and the problem with the phrase "culture fit". We covered a lot. Enjoy!

What a fun chat with Allison! We talked about the importance of supporting new managers, finding mentors, connecting with a strong peer community, recruiting, and hiring. Allison gave live examples of giving and receiving feedback and also some sample interview questions and what to listen for in the answers. Thanks, Allison!

This is my 4th recorded episode with Colin Greenhalgh. Greens has been a real peach in helping me test new audio tools to try and get this thing right. I think there are a few more swear words than normal in this one. Love ya Greens!
