Podcasts For People People
Top recommendations to inspire and engage People leaders and specialists
Podcasts are a fantastic way to connect with all kinds of topics. I've put together this list of our current favorites with PeopleOps and Leadership in mind.
If you work in PeopleOps or L&D (or somewhere you're still forced to call it HR 😉), you'll know that your job is not about paperwork and legal compliance and ordering supplies - it's about serving the needs of the people who've chosen your organization. You have this beautiful opportunity to play a part in shaping the organizational cultures and the lives of people you serve.
I hope you'll give yourself the opportunity to read, to listen to podcasts and to connect with topics that will inspire and motivate you. You can personally model the growth mindset and the culture of learning that you want to inspire in your organization. 🌱
To get you started and help prime your brain for learning, I've added a prompt question for each podcast theme. Get stuck in! 🙌🏽
