Fast forward to today, and AI is powering the majority of customer service interactions for many businesses. In Strengthscope’s case, this runs at up to 85% for a typical month.

In today’s episode, I would like to give you, fellow non-AI human, 6 tips for staying relevant as AI advances accelerate.

One of the top priorities for HR leaders in 2023? Organisational change.

If change is everywhere, and we know it is everywhere, how can we keep our people insulated from change fatigue? That’s the topic of today’s episode on combatting change fatigue with strengths.

Today I want to give you seven top tips for getting the best from feedback, particularly when giving it, but with a couple of references to receiving feedback too. 

The question at Strengthscope that we pose ourselves regularly is, how can we support our clients to create strengths-based cultures? To truly breathe life into the strengths approach? That’s what I want to focus on today: can you create a strengths-based organisation? And if so, from a practical point of view, how?

Enjoy!

Are strengths still relevant in our volatile, unpredictable world in 2023?

That’s the question I’d like to address in today’s episode and next week in a two-parter, by putting the pros and the cons in this episode. And in my next episode, I want to cover some of the practicalities of introducing and embedding a strengths approach into organisations today.

I’m excited that today, we’ll have an opportunity to chat to Bec about her reflections on 2022 and what the year has taught leaders and HR (People and Culture) professionals, as well as looking ahead into 2023 with some tips for facing into next year with a clear plan for people priorities.

Enjoy!

Today, we’re fast-forwarding 3 years, through the pandemic, out the other side, and now into one of the most turbulent and unpredictable periods I can remember in the world and in the world of work.

What we’re going to be asking today is whether leaders are ready for the 4th industrial revolution? Wait what? 4th? When were the other 3? Oh yeah, the first one was looms smashing the machine and everything, but what about the other 2 then? And what’s this 4th one?

You’ll be delighted to know that all these questions and more will be answered today.

Privilege is getting quite a bit of airtime right now. So as a white, straight, cis, non-disabled, middle-class male, I’d like to spend today’s podcast introducing the idea of privilege, talking a little about the journey I’ve been on with it, and to talk about its importance and relevance to work and to life today.

I appreciate that talking about privilege at all can raise questions. Like ‘Who is this guy to be talking about privilege anyway?’, ‘Why should I listen to this? I come from an underprivileged background and I’ve worked hard to get where I am, so this doesn’t apply to me’ or even ‘I’m done with all this woke nonsense, can’t we just move on?’. I appreciate it all that so all I ask is that you spare me 10 minutes to see if you get any value in what I’m going to share. 

In today’s podcast, I want to give you some reflections and practical tips on how you can apply positive psychology during change, in VUCA environments. This is relevant both if you’re a manager or leader, or if you’re not.

Enjoy!

On today’s podversation, we’re going to be covering the topic of neurodiversity.

Toni’s going to take us on a journey into exploring why neurodiversity is so central to our work at Strengthscope and more widely in the world of learning and development. We will then focus on the link between neurodiversity and strengths-based development specifically with some suggestions for future work.

Enjoy!
