    Podcast 233: Courageous conversations

    How often do we shy away from tough conversations, or avoid workplaces issues in the hope they’ll simply resolve themselves? It’s human instinct to avoid the uncomfortable, after all. But what impact is this avoidance having in our workplaces? Performance issues go unaddressed, poor behaviour gets worked around, and tension between colleagues is smoothed over rather than named. Left unresolved, these situations can breed misunderstanding, strain relationships, and quietly erode culture and performance. So what do courageous conversations actually look like in practice?  Join Nigel Cassidy and this month's guests – Joan O'Connor, Head of Leadership Practice at 10Eighty; Jo Carlin, Chief People Officer at Effective Energy Group; and Corinne Micallef, director, facilitator and coach with the National Theatre's Theatreworks programme – as they explore how people professionals, line managers and business leaders can move from avoidance to having courageous conversations.  In this episode, our panel explores:  Why courageous conversations are a core leadership skill rather than a nice-to-have – and what happens when organisations avoid them. How does silence become an organisational risk? What’s the difference between a ‘difficult’ conversation and a ‘courageous’ one. How can we build embed courage as a daily practice. What holds people professionals, business leaders and line managers back from speaking up – and what helps them push through it? --- Your next listen:  CIPD Podcast 214: Success starts small – Building sustainable workplace habits CIPD Podcast 212: Creating a culture of psychological safety at work HR People Pod – Episode 52: Courageous leadership, clarity and organisational falafel – with Diana Osagie  More from this episode:  CIPD Profession Map – Professional courage and influence  Hosted on Acast.

    Podcast 232: The journey towards a skills-based organisation - The role of L&D

    As business priorities shift, skills shortages intensify and technology changes the nature of work, organisations need a clearer view of the skills and capabilities they have — and how to deploy them where they can create the greatest impact. But how can learning professionals support the building of new capability at pace and scale, when many organisations still struggle to see what skills exist in the workforce, to what level of expertise, or to move that capability to where it's needed most?  Join Nigel Cassidy and this month's guests – Shona Marshall, Founder of The ASM Difference; Laurell Hector, Managing Director at McManus HRD; and Andrew Jacobs, Learning Strategist and Founder of Llarn Learning – as they explore L&D's role in supporting the shift to becoming a skills-based organisation.  In this episode, our panel explores:  Why L&D is critical to enabling skills-based transformation, by responding to business priorities and driving the performance they require How skills intelligence, taxonomies and internal marketplaces can inform smarter, workforce planning, internal mobility and learning investment. What must change in how learning is designed and delivered – moving away from linear, one-off training programmes towards continuous, skills-led development that keeps pace with changing skills landscape.  --- Your next listen:  CIPD Podcast 231: The journey to a skills-based organisation  CIPD Podcast 207: HR’s next top operating model  HR People Pod – Episode 48: Leadership reflections | Skills visibility | Workload creep  More from this episode:  Guide – Skills matching: Using and deploying people’s skills effectively in the workplace  Analysis – How L&D can create value: Focussing on skills development  Hosted on Acast.

    As agentic AI moves beyond being a tool and starts to act with greater autonomy, how should organisations think about trust, oversight and accountability?

And which pivotal career moments can change how HR professionals think about their work, their leadership and their impact?
