HR Inside Out

Paul Moffatt made a decision, late in his career, to become a bus driver. He applied to the local transit authority, studied for and attained his Class 2 drivers license. He has discovered that, of all the different jobs he has worked at through his career, being a bus driver is the absolute best. As a people person, Paul has found his niche.

We are going to explore the process Paul went through to make this decision, why he loves the job so intensely, and where else this has taken him to in the latter years of his career.

About the Guest – Paul Moffatt

Paul worked most of his career as management in the food industry in the United States. He also sold cars for many years (GM Sales master and Salesman) and developed a multi-million-dollar commercial real estate.

Having graduated from West Vancouver Secondary School in the lower mainland of British Columbia, he decided to return to Canada after many years of being away. A move to Victoria led him to a decision to apply his people skills differently. Paul researched, applied, attained his Class 2 driver’s license, and became a bus driver for BC Transit. In a recent conversation with him he shared that he has never been happier. Paul loves his new occupation and is very glad he pursued this new career opportunity.

As this month’s podcasts are with individuals working in a variety of different jobs and careers, I began to reflect on the number of calls I have received over the years from individuals interested in learning more about working within the field of human resources. So…. for those of you wishing to understand about a career choice that kept me interested and learning for many years, in this week’s podcast we explore the scope of HR, a little about the various specialist options that individuals may wish to pursue, what working as a generalist is like - and more - about this fascinating and exciting career option. We also review a current posting for the roles of HR Assistant and HR Coordinator/Advisor with some tips to consider in your own interview processes. Join me!

Join host Susan Ney and her guest Ed Seymour as they discuss the importance of mentors, especially during your key developmental years and when you are feeling stretched beyond what you think you might be capable of. In the podcast Susan and Ed also speak on the creation of our personal career histories - the ones that evolve from the decisions we make along the way – when we say “yes” to opportunities and create those, at times, roads less travelled as part of our learning and development, using Ed’s rich and diverse career history as an real-life example of the tapestry we can choose to weave over the years. And more!

About the Guest – Edward E. Seymour

Edward E. Seymour, a prominent union educator, was born in Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. He was raised in Sydney, Nova Scotia and attended Sydney Academy prior to moving to Ontario in 1958.

Ed received his B.A. in Political Science from the University of Waterloo in 1974. He is the author of An Illustrated History of Canadian Labour 1800-1974 (1976, 2nd ed. 1980), Illuminating the Past Brightening the Future: An Illustrated History International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 353 1903-2003 (2003) and The Carpenter’s Union in Canada: Looking Back With Pride – Looking Forward With Vision.

His trade union experience dates back to 1962 when he became a member of Lodge 1246 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

From 1970 to 1977, he was the Canadian Education and Publicity Director for the Textile Workers Union of America.

In 1977 he was the national representative for the Communications Workers of Canada (CLC) which is where we met, and I had the good fortune to be able to work with and learn from him.

In 1986 Ed established Solidarity Consulting, a consulting firm for unions. He is also a partner of Resolutions Unlimited (established in 2000), a firm that focuses on the resolution of harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

He has served many times on arbitration boards for a number of unions. Ed is married to Cynthia Tenute and currently lives in Hamilton, Ontario.

Although I believe our school systems are doing better at helping guide us in reviewing options regarding careers that will hopefully engage us for the rest of our working lives, I thought it might be fun to spend some time in the upcoming podcasts introducing you to individuals in unique jobs that we might not have thought to pursue.

I am also increasingly speaking with individuals who have chosen to leave careers to pursue something different in later years. Perhaps you are mid-career and asking whether there could be something more, or a way you could be applying your skills, experience and education differently. Like me, you want to colour outside those proverbial lines and “do” differently, with more passion and re-finding that sparkle that you haven’t seen lately when looking at “you” in the mirror. You are going to meet individuals who made the leap and never looked back.

And for many of you who spent your lives at one speed – full on – retirement may not be what you had contemplated. For those who had absolutely no time whatsoever to pursue hobbies and passions, the hours now available to you may now seem long and unproductive. Some options for you to consider as well.

A taste of what is to come, examples of real people making different choices, excerpts from my book Leadership Inside Out: Effecting Change from Within…. Hope you will join me!

In the roles we play, we are expected to be able to not only handle our own stressors, but frequently to mitigate stress for others and be the “go to” for others, for answers.

Our world, in a matter of months, became something that none of us had experienced or been expected to lead through, at any prior time in our lives. The eventual return to our “new normal” if there is such a thing, is the next hurdle that we will need to contend with. This past year and a half has for many people, created stressors and stress levels that no-one could have contemplated. How we take care of ourselves through such circumstances is critical. In this podcast host Susan Ney explores what causes stress, signs that you might be experiencing stress, some stress relievers, exploring work/life balance, and helping us remember to never get so busy making a living that we forget to make a life.

Sometimes things happen to us that we have no control over – like life-altering illnesses, employment termination and then being cut-off LTD benefits.  Dealing with one of these is difficult enough.  When all occur at the same time, it can feel like a virtual tsunami.  We can let such circumstances take us out, or we can decide to fight.  Those choices determine where we go next in this life of ours.  In today’s podcast you will meet Catherine Elliott – one of my heroes – someone who models courage, resilience and tenacity – and what deciding to react differently can look like, even in truly adverse circumstances.

About the Guest – Catherine Elliott

Catherine Elliott was a senior manager within the health sector until 2013 when a life-altering illness took away her health and then her job.  She fought back and won.  The organizational decisions were reversed but not the consequences of those.  A life-long learner, Catherine made the choice to keep moving forward, to reflect on what was truly important, who she was at the core and how she could continue to make a positive difference in the lives of others, albeit, now differently.

Catherine pursued and just completed her bachelors’ degree.  She has become an ordained minister and assists with “end of life” transitioning and celebrations of life.  She offers services as an editor, is working towards the publication of her book of poetry and is a perpetual seeker of new knowledge and how to apply that to life. 

Catherine has integrated the lessons learned from her personal journey into helping others.  She still struggles with health challenges.  She has learned to set boundaries and to listen to her body’s needs.  She offers wisdom and insights to those fortunate enough to work with her.

Susan Ney hosts guest Dr. Paul Harrietha in a dialogue about gender equity and, to use the subtitle of his book, what’s really holding women back in business – and how to fix it.  Dr. Harrietha and co-author Holly Catalfamo confirm that women are held back from advancement opportunities (particularly the C-suite and board positions) by a number of invisible rules that continue to “tilt the playing field in favour of white men”.  Their book The Invisible Rules: What’s really holding women back in business – and how to fix it, is based on direct one-on-one interviews with 50 senior female Canadian executives who shared their personal insights, experiences, wisdom and real-life challenges. Learn about the four big biases women face, the CAPS Leadership Framework and what we all need to be doing to help finally achieve gender equity within our workplaces and organizations.

Change always creates ripples in our lives – or tsunamis – depending on the magnitude of the situation.  Some of these we create by our own actions.  At other times we are impacted by circumstances totally outside of our personal control.  How we deal with these situations can build courage, grit, resilience, and the eventual ability to positively move forward if we so choose.  This podcast introduces you to the theme of ripples and to some of the heroes I reflect on in my book Leadership Inside Out: Effecting Change from Within; individuals who rose above really difficult situations stronger and as real life demonstration that it can be done.  Leadership at its very best!

Susan Ney hosts guest James Ridge, author of Welcome to the Hall: A Practical Guide for Municipal Leaders as he shares his experiences and wisdom drawn from years of working in top formal leadership positions in local government, reporting to an elected Mayor and Council.  This book is a “must-read” for anyone considering either a position on Council or a CAO/Municipal Manager’s job or if you are interested in attaining a better understanding of local and regional governments.  James provides a candid overview of the roles, responsibilities, and realities.  In the podcast, James also shares his own nuggets of learning about leadership. 

About the Guest – James Ridge

James is the President of James Ridge Consulting.  He has also been the: City Manager, City of Burlington; Principal of UBC Vantage College; Associate VP and Registrar, UBC; Deputy City Manager, City of Vancouver; Chief Administrative Officer, District of North Vancouver; Executive Director of IT and of Municipal Licensing and Standards, City of Toronto; Director of Ontario Crime Control Commission and Manager of Policing Standards, Ontario Provincial Government; and a Lieutenant, Captain, Major with the Canadian Armed Forces.  He completed an Executive program in Corporate Finance with the London School of Economics, his Masters’ of Public Administration with Queens, his Masters’ of Philosophy at the University of Manitoba and his Bachelor of Philosophy at McMaster.

He spent much of 2019 writing Welcome to the Hall: A Practical Guide for Municipal Leaders which can be purchased at the Municipal World website. It is a superb book for members of council, municipal staff, people interested in municipal government, people who live in municipalities, people who live in rural areas but drive to municipalities to shop, friends, family, small children, and pets. It is only $29.95, less than the price of a movie.

James is an avid global birder. He has had the good fortune to see 1102 species in 39 countries. He calls it a geeky hobby, but shares that it gets him to some of the planet's glorious wild places.

He is currently serving as a board member of the Greater Victoria Police Victims Services, a wonderful organization supporting victims of crime and trauma in Victoria, B.C. He is also an occasional faculty with the LGMA/Capilano University Municipal Administrator Training Institute.

He notes that he and his wonderful wife Donna live in the Bear Mountain community in Langford B.C.  He recently saw a pod of Orcas while on a bike ride in Victoria, which sums up why he lives there.
