WorkPod: Building Equitable Workforce With Intentioning

In this session, Claire Haidar, CEO and founder of WNDYR and Pattyrn, makes us think about work, HR, technology and the future of work more authenticity. More importantly, she analyses the present chaos and disruption and deciphers a meaning in them.

Part chaos, part rocket fuel, Claire Haidar is a technology entrepreneur, student pilot age and future thinker about all things human, work and play.

Human acceleration and education have always been my two biggest passions. I see work as a giant playground.
Claire Haidar

Claire challenges the status quo, pushes the boundaries on what is possible, and asks the big questions that a lot of us are afraid to really confront and act on. If you want your mental boxes to be challenged; if you want to color outside the lines, then invite Claire to challenge your team or audience on topics such as the future of work in a world of chaos and robots, play as an essential part of work, human acceleration in an automated world and visualizing organizations at work as playgrounds.

Stories of DEI

Before an organization can succeed, it must have a team. This team is the foundation upon which success will be built. Teams are not just a collection of people. They are the combination of skills and personalities that come together for a common cause. Join this conversation with Patrick Touhey as we talk about why, as a leader, you need to have effective work teams which are collaborative, supportive, and positive in your organization.

Patrick Touhey is president at Elite Performance Too – E, LLC. He was a high school basketball head coach for both boys’ and girls’ teams and a college assistant coach.
When his brother, Hall of Fame basketball coach Kevin Touhey, was dying from lung cancer, Patrick promised him he’d continue his passionate work of athletic coaching. With Elite Performance Too-E, Patrick mentors both coaches and players to tap into their hearts and passions, pursue the spirit of team sports, and become the best version of themselves.

Elite Performance Too-E emphasizes intrinsic elements rather than extrinsic metrics that sports often prioritize, such as work hours, scholarships, and individual statistics. By teaching the value of service, leadership, and team connection, Patrick and Elite Performance Too-E help athletes overcome the common selfish and self-absorbed mindset and use the athletic experience to develop as people and potential leaders. Patrick has played an integral part in coaching multiple teams to win state championships and reach their highest potential.

#JobTip : Top Interview tip to help best crack that job interview

Transcript:
Welcome, everyone, to another episode of job tip in
work2dot0 episode two. And in this conversation we will talk about some of the
best practices on interview. And I think I have some of the things that I have
captured from my experience interviewing candidates, some of my best hires, and
some of things that really stood out when I interacted on even from our
interview with some of the recruiters and hiring managers who have hired some
of the ... 

And the technique is not very difficult; it's almost
similar to whether you are a fresher getting into the interview or whether you
are going for a leadership role, right?

So a simplest mindset technique that I think have ... or
at least I have seen working within many of my successful interviews that I
have conducted, that it's not like I am interviewing the candidate, it's almost
like the candidate is interviewing me, right? 

So one of the typical example is when you go to an
interview, the mindset is the interviewer would ask you some questions that you
have to answer, right? So basically he'll be on an attack mode and you will be
on a defending mode trying to prove that you are good or you are bad or
whatever, whatnot, right? 

But on the other side understand that interviewers are
humans as well, right? So if it's a hiring manager they are suffering in their
team, that suffering they want to fix with you in it, possibly, right? Or if
you're in HR you know the hiring manager is suffering, right? His team is
lacking some capability that you would bring to the table, right?
