Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.
In our third episode of season two, Naomi Titleman connects with Rachel Cooke, a former colleague from her time at American Express. Rachel now runs her own consulting practice ‘Lead Above Noise’ and is host of podcast ‘The Modern Mentor’.
Rachel is passionate about the employee experience. She shares her insights about how organizations should be thinking about creating an employee experience that allows colleagues to deliver, develop, connect and thrive.
In the conversation they discuss the critical role leaders play in enabling that employee experience by asking their team members the right questions and helping them to reach their potential. This is by leaders being humble and open to feedback and ideas.
They also talk about HR’s role as the shepherd of the employee experience by creating the right conditions and a clear north star.

Boldly Inclusive Leadership with Guest Minette Norman

Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.
In this week’s episode, Naomi Titleman is joined by special guest Minette Norman who is an author, consultant and former Silicon Valley executive.
Minette recently launched her second book, The Boldly Inclusive Leader. In the podcast she reflects on her career as a leader in technology firms and how badly prepared new leaders are to lead particularly when it comes to leading diverse and multi-cultural teams.
They talk about the importance of human-centric leadership and how multi-faceted it is. Leaders are human too and it’s important to acknowledge that leaders will make mistakes and need to learn from these mistakes. Human leadership is also about recognizing that nothing gets done without the people in our organizations so it’s critical to ensure the organization creates an environment where people can thrive.
The most important first step on a journey of human-centred leadership is self-awareness so we can understand ourselves and understand our emotions. Minette then talks through the behaviours inclusive leaders should demonstrate to be an inclusive leader.
