    Talent & Opportunity in the Post-Pandemic Workplace

    Talent & Opportunity in the Post-Pandemic Workplace

    The pandemic has transformed work and learning, and this will be
    particularly evident as we emerge into a post-pandemic world. One
    person’s disruption is another person’s opportunity. Similarly some
    organizations have responded with incredible resilience, and are
    experiencing unprecedented growth and success.
    Historically great crises and catastrophes are followed by renaissances
    and periods of incredible innovation. What’s the difference between
    success and failure, between depression and excitement? Talent. This is
    true for both individuals and organizations.

    How do you foster and harness your talent? How do organizations attract,
    develop, and retain talent? These are crucial questions during this
    transitional period as we remain in a pandemic but seek our path out of
    it!

    The problems with copy and paste public policy

    The problems with copy and paste public policy

    Vasiliki Bednar from Regs2Riches.com joins Jesse Hirsh to talk about the problems arising from copy and paste public policy. This is what happens when policy makers copy other jurisdictions blindly, rather than engage in a policy process that adapts to the needs of jurisdiction. Obviously policy makers can and should learn from each other and best practices, yet often the process is the purpose, and blindly copying others leads to problems down the road.

    The Metaviews of Edutainment with Reuben Christian

    Jesse Hirsh speaks with Reuben Christian about his work exploring the intersections of our culture while getting people together to experience joy. He argues we need more emotional literacy to better appreciate our shared humanity. If more people could meet themselves, perhaps we'd focus more on our presence, rather than our future.
