The Resilient Journey

We’ve all heard the popular idiom ‘work smart not hard’. Well, in 2022 there are a lot more tools at your disposal to not only help you work smarter, but also to make you more efficient.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Resilient Journey podcast, sponsored by ClearRisk. Today we are joined by Founder and CEO of ClearRisk – Craig Rowe. I asked Craig to join me today, not because he’s the CEO, or because he’s the sponsor of the program. Craig is here because of his insight regarding risk management and how software tools can free you up to tasks of higher value. Craig talks about the difference between having good data and good information – and points out where organizations often suffer when it comes to managing risk and resilience.

My guest this week is Sarah Garrington. Sarah is the head of resilience for a law firm based in the UK. She is a conference speaker and frequent podcast guest and is very well spoken on the topic of operational resilience, organizational resilience…and just resilience in general.

In last week’s episode, we took you inside the mind of a C Suite executive. This week, we’re going into a much scarier place – the mind of a consultant. And it’s not just any consultant – it’s ME!

Hello everyone and welcome to episode 21 of the Resilient Journey podcast sponsored by ClearRisk.  This week I’m your guest and I’m joined by Resilience Think Tank co-founder Ashley Goosman who is stepping in as guest host.

In this episode, Ashley asks me about resilience, we talk about the podcast – and a little later in the episode I give some advice to anyone who wants to be a consultant. We also talk about an old-time radio show’s influence on the Resilient Journey.

We’ve all heard the phrase ‘fight fire with fire’, but how do you fight bias?  Do you fight bias with bias?  And how do you handle the very dangerous unconscious bias?
