Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thriving Talent with Aoife O'Brien
Q: What is the foundational model for culture in your framework?
The foundation is psychological safety, followed by three pillars—drivers (unique needs and strengths), capabilities (how strengths translate into team impact), and leadership (leading self before leading others)—all integrated within a broader culture system.
Measuring Inclusion with Paolo Gaudiano
Q: What are the tangible business benefits of your approach, and how is it different from traditional DEI metrics?
He argues that including experience-based measures shows how dissatisfaction reduces productivity and increases attrition costs, and that integrating HR with finance clarifies where money is being lost and how to stop it.
Measuring Inclusion with Paolo Gaudiano
Q: So would you like to introduce yourself and position your role and how this book sits amongst what you do?
Paolo explains his background in analytics-driven DEI work, his award-winning Measures Inclusion approach, and how his focus is on measuring inclusion through workplace experiences to drive financial and operational outcomes.
Helping The Squeezed Middle Manager with Gary Cookson
Q: Hello, and tell us how you're inspired to talk about this topic.
I'm inspired by the ongoing conversations with organizations about what middle managers actually do and how their role expands as work environments evolve, especially around hybrid models and the need to translate strategy into practical actions.
Leading with Heart with Roxanne Hobbs
Q: What motivated you to focus on leading with heart?
Roxanne transitioned from the advertising industry to support women in workplace leadership, driven by the belief that leading with heart can address current workplace challenges.
