Description
A podcast about the inflection point bridging the Modern with the Gig Age. Emphasis on employee benefits. Amidst the noise there is surely a signal. We are a privileged generation - living in what is likely the most significant inflection point in the process of civilization. Amidst the rush and noise of hyper speed change can we hear the signals? What changes are happening? How does all this change impact each of us? How do we navigate our way to taking advantage of these changes? The Benefits industry delivers a product and service that impacts the lives of millions of people on a day-to-day basis. Artificial Intelligence, therapeutic innovation, communication technology, robotics and the power of interconnectivity are some of the exciting developments that are bringing fresh new opportunities for advisors to work with employers as they seek to maximise the well-being and employment experience of the people who drive their businesses.On this podcast we look to thought leaders, innovators and domain specialists to help filter the noise and hear the signals of our time.

This episode is chock-full of nuggets. Aidan McCullen is a transformation specialist. His book - Undisruptable - is an outstanding call for individuals and companies to adopt a midset of "permanent reinvention". His podcast https://theinnovationshow.io/ is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand the effects, of the rapidly changing world, on people and businesses alike. Having listen to many hours of his podcast and havng read his book - I had many questions - too many to properly manage in the 90 minutes Aidan so generously shared; but he is the ultimate professional and steadily helped manage the flow. I thouroughly enjoyed. I hope you do too. We touch on a wide range of subjects, childhood, parents and parenting, serendibipty, goal setting, talent and discipline, VUCA, Kintsugi Thinking and more.
The more noisy the world becomes, the more carefully you have to communicate with people that you care about and or you know, such as your employees because you won't be able to control any message, and generally what people do fill that void with, will not be what you want them to fill it with. - Nolan Bederman, Executive Chair - LifespeakThis is a wonderful conversation with Anne Beutler, KMC Communications and Nolan Bederman, Executive Chair - Lifespeak
