This podcast explores the ever-evolving world of branding and marketing and how it can help organizations reach a wider audience, differentiate from competitors, and stay top of mind when deciding to purchase or engage. In this episode, I’m joined by my long-time friend, Lisa Chicules, a guru with over 25 years of experience in branding and marketing and organizational strategic planning across multiple sectors.

It finally feels like the worst of the pandemic is behind us and people are beginning to rediscover a simple joy of normalcy: seeing friends, going to concerts, and planning for travel. Yet one area of life that seems to have changed forever is work – specifically “how and where” we work.Our topic today is Hybrid Work – Pendulum Swing or Paradigm Shift? Is it here to stay or will the pendulum swing back to how we worked in pre-COVID times? Listen to see where my guest Carrie Blair, President of Tayside Group, and I land in this debate.

As we head into our 3rd year of the pandemic, there is a greater need to talk about how the “new normal” isn’t actually “new” anymore or for that matter, feeling anything like “normal” at all. In this podcast, “Teamwork has Changed Forever”, I speak with Liane Davey (https://glinc-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Liane%20Davey%20Podcast/bio/Liane%20Davey%20BIO%20Flipped%20-%20FEB23%20v4.pdf), Team Advisor and Best Selling Author of “The Good Fight” about some of the common challenges we’re seeing with hybrid and remote teams: managing & coaching remotely, team conflicts & workplace toxicity and the ever elusive: work/life balance. Join us for a great conversation!

Preparing for, and conducting an interview is already a nerve-wracking process for job candidates. Now imagine that job interview is taking place through a screen. How does that change the dynamics of the interview? How can you create rapport? Should you prepare for it any differently?The pandemic has changed what we need to think about when presenting and selling ourselves virtually. Thanks to the expertise of our guest David Zsoldos, a Senior Recruitment Partner at BMO, we'll learn some do's and don'ts on how to successfully execute job interviews virtually.

This month we've invited Trish Rodda and Shane Harrington to share their insights on how they've adapted their approach to providing feedback in a hybrid work environment and their "do's and don'ts" on handling difficult discussions.

The past 16 months have undoubtedly changed the way we work. As companies start thinking about how they plan to return to the office, we'd be remiss to ignore the important lessons this last year has taught us. This month, we've invited the entire GLINC team to discuss how we plan to navigate our return to the office in this new hybrid work environment.

We hope our discussion provides you with valuable insights on how to engage your team in a similar conversation.

Join Gerry Lewis, President & CEO of GLINC, as he walks us down memory lane through his coming out journey and shares insights about becoming his authentic self. We touch on fun, personal, and work-related questions about PRIDE, how to be a better ally, and what advice Gerry would give to his younger self.

Remote work has become a defining feature of 2020, with many companies acknowledging that the office environment will change as 'working from home' becomes the new normal. In this month's GLINC Outside the Box Podcast, we sat down with Rawan El-Komos (https://gerrylewis.com/glinc_podcasts_/GLINC_RemoteWork_Speaker_Bio_May25.pdf), the Senior Director General of Corporate Services at the Public Prosecution Service of Canada , to "GLINC Differently About Remote Work". In this podcast, we examine the realities of how working from home has impacted our work/life balance as well as how we can take actionable steps to regain that balance by implementing healthier working habits into our day-to-day.

Leaders need courage to make bold decisions. Often without knowing if they are making the best or correct one. A courageous leader faces the challenge of maintaining confidence in themselves, taking big risks, and going against the grain. In this month’s GLINC Outside the Box Podcast, I am thrilled to be sitting down with the President and CEO of Laurentian Bank, who is not only a great guest, but also a long-time friend. I’ve known and have worked with Rania Llewellyn (https://gerrylewis.com/glinc_podcasts_/GLINC_Courage_April27.pdf) for well over a decade and could not think of a better person to have a conversation about this very topic of courage. We invite you to "GLINC Differently About Courageous Leadership".
