Value through Vulnerability podcast from HEXO Change

I was grateful to welcome Jennifer Brown onto the podcast today to discuss all things inclusion, diversity and the future of work. 

Jennifer has worked in the D&I space for many years and as well as being a trained musician, she was first a soft skills trainer where she believed that with good design, a facilitator can do anything.

As we near the end of 2018, 7 months into the Value through Vulnerability podcast and after 36 full podcast  & 10 x 15 mins selfcare podcasts, I was keen for myself but also for our listeners to reflect on what I see as the key themes coming out from these podcasts that provide opportunities for personal, organisational & societal growth in 2019.

For those that may be time poor or hard of hearing, here are the key summary items discussed:

Slow down, strop & get present more often

The human experience operates inside out – not outside in based on circumstance

No-one comes to work wanting to be a dick / tyrant

Be more you – lean in, go first – role model humanity

Actively listen & seek feedback

We need to be taking a long-term view on those in our care at work

Wellbeing has to be a priority in 2019

Trust of ourselves and those we interact with

Structure creates freedom

Sustainability

Actively expand your network with people that do not look & think you, outside of your main skill-set and sector

I had the pleasure of welcoming Lorna Lesson from Little Tent onto the podcasts. 

I learned about the origin of Lorna's company name, the importance of inclusion & vulnerability to her practice, the variety of artistic talent that sits within her and her new innovation to help leaders (it sounds amazing!) 

I found it fascinating to draw on other parallels such as the move to more agile working, which in essence, is exactly what Lorna will support from a different angle.

I had the pleasure of welcoming Hung Lee, Founder of Workshape & Curator of Recruiting Brainfood onto the podcast. 

I really enjoyed how this conversation flowed between Hung's education in Anthropology, his passion to make recruitment more humane, his big picture thinking and his challenge & awareness-raising around what inclusion & exclusion looks like - it may surprise you at first. 

I have listened back twice to this podcast and I am still getting new realisations & takeaways!

I had the pleasure of welcoming Ollie Martin, who is a consultant, onto the podcast. Ollie is a super passionate & interesting character, having worked in the police force for a number of years, he is driven to help ex forces personnel use their fantastic transferable skills in the civilian world of work. I was really taken aback and learned so much myself about the trust, listening, empathy, care, MVP (minimal viable products/situations), iteration, inclusive etc approach that he and so many of his peers takes to their service work. Ollie is driven by the same things as myself - to make individuals and the world of work more human - and I am excited to watch Ollie's trajectory as we enter 2019. Ollie's writing can be found at this link -> https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/author/omartin/ Ollie can be contacted via the following means: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliver-martin-life-consultant/ Website - http://www.olivermartinlifeconsultant.com/ The catalytic skills vs soft skills comment came via Barry O Kane -> https://www.linkedin.com/in/barryokane/ Ollie's contact from Mightify that he referenced is here-> https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomwheelhouse/

I was very grateful to welcomed one of my inspirations onto the podcast in Amy Edmondson. 

I have followed Amy's work with interest over the past couple of years, seeing her work around Psychological Safety being critical to a healthier, more inclusive #futureofwork. We cover a wide range of topics including vulnerability, psychological safety, inclusion, leadership & my favourite manager / leader definition debate, to which Amy gives an awesome reply.

It was so inspiring to speak with Natalie recently as we discussed her own journey through post natal depression, her setting up of the SMILE charity, a passion driven with a colleague to offer support to ensure women have the support that was not necessarily there for her, we learn about her definition of vulnerability, her ability to stay present & how important her children are as teachers.

I loved this discussion with Margaret, our final of the 10 selfcare podcasts for this #selfcareweek. 

Margaret's ability to let go and be present is THE ultimate #selfcare approach and one I have struggled to manage well. "Forgive ourselves" and go again is one of my biggest takeaways of the week.
