You worked hard, your team is passionate and inspired but still your project is rejected. How do you manage both your own disappointment and your team’s reaction? In this podcast, Kim and Fulyana talk honestly and openly about their reactions in these situations and how they manage the process of moving beyond the anger and hurt.

(This podcast is longer than our usual ones)

Continuing the discussion with Nick Plummer from Directioneering, Kim and Fulyana explore what the most important aspects are from a client/candidate perspective when using outplacement services. They also look at the importance of people networks, the changing use of technology in our business lives as well as some personal insights about being retrenched when you are a senior executive.

Many of us these days have experienced being retrenched or had our positions in organisations declared redundant through restructuring or takeovers. Kim and Fulyana are joined by Nick Plummer from Directioneering to talk about how we make successful career transitions, when is the right time (if it is not forced on you) and what outplacement services actually do.

What drives us to achieve our goals? What inspires us? Should we, as managers, be responsible for inspiring others? Listen to Fulyana and Kim discuss their views and experiences related to these questions.

Does empowerment come from within or does it come through recognition of your expertise in the workplace?

Once again Kim and Fulyana present their views and experience, sometimes differing, to provide you with another viewpoint of this topic in the executive world.
