the WoW - the World of Work!

the WoW - the World of Work!

We have entered a new era that is transforming all aspects of our lives and work is no exception! It is in these moments of great transformation that we must think differently when we talk about work and move away from the notion that work equals job, equals employment. It is more than that! It defines who we are, what we do, how much money we make, how we live, who we know, how we feel, what we learn, even where we live, the people we hang around with. It can bring status, fulfilment, achievement as well as frustration, burn-out, disenchantment. When we stop seeing work as simply employment and look at it as a world of opportunities where we can put our talents to work in areas we are passionate about, the perspective changes! This is what this podcast is all about. Exploring the world of work from different perspectives with guest speakers who share their stories, and views on how their world of work has changed and what we can expect to see in the future. It is bringing to the table different disciplines and professions with the mission to bring the concept of work closer to people and people closer to work with a WOW!

    Part 1: The Complex World of People and Emotions @ Work w/ Roxana Petrus

    How we show up at work determines to a great extent how we feel at work. Our complex inner world made of emotions, thoughts, expectations of oneself and others plays a huge role in shaping our wellbeing. Unlike what many people think, we can greatly influence the environment we are in provided we check in with ourselves and keep ourselves honest! Occasionally taking the time to ensure that what we do is in line with what's important for us is a good reminder as to why we get up in the morning in the first place. Join Paola Granati and Roxana Petrus Part 1 of this episode of the World of Work podcast, the WoW.  Roxana is a coach, psychologist and consultant with a background in psychotherapy and transformational coaching. Originally from Romania, Transylvania (yes, the place with all the vampires), now living in beautiful Luzern on a farm surrounded by llamas, alpacas, dogs, cats and the stillness of breathtaking nature.  With over a decade of experience, she currently supports individuals, leaders, and teams in achieving their goals and navigating personal and professional challenges. She delivers individual and team coaching, training and diverse learning experiences around human skills development, emotional agility, communication and collaboration, productivity and satisfaction, leadership and self-leadership.  With a master’s degree in psychology and advanced training in cognitive behavior psychotherapy, Roxana previously worked as a CBT psychotherapist in private practice and on an online therapy platform for anxiety disorders.

    Part 1-The Digital Impact on Talent Mgmt w/ Dean Summlar

    Digitisation is here to stay, whether we like it or not. Getting familiar with technology, understanding how it works and how it can help us in our careers is of vital importance no matter what your job is. In this episode we talk about Open Talent Market platforms and how Schneider Electric, a company of over 130'000 employees has implemented this technology. How has that changed talent mgmt? What are the implications for leaders, HR and the employees themselves?   My guest speaker is Dean Summlar, VP Talent Mgmt & Learning, International at Schneider Electric. He has enjoyed a varied career in multiple industries including Retail, Healthcare as well as Energy Management & Automation. He started his career as a Commercial Manager leading large teams for UK Retailer Marks and Spencer Plc before diversifying his career into Human Resources in 2009.   Dean first joined Schneider Electric in UK & Ireland in 2014. In 2017 he and his wife moved to Australia where he joined the Pacific Human Resources Team and has held several roles before his most recent appointment as VP Talent Mgmt & Leaning. Besides business and HR,  Dean has a passion for how technology, business strategy and commerce intersect with human behaviour. He believes it is HR’s responsibility to develop new ways of responding to the changing demands this brings and rapidly develop strategies and culture to enable the workforce to learn and adapt.
