scalr sagecast - #47 - Lauren Sharp - Putting Australia on the Talent Map

This week, I had a fantastic catch-up with my good friend and talent trailblazer, Lauren Sharp. She's the co-founder of TaPod and, along with the equally legendary Craig Watson, the driving force behind the Internal Talent Awards. We talked about all things talent, community and building something that matters.

We cover a lot in this one, from Lauren’s early career in the air to her move into recruitment, how TaPod came to life, and how she’s played a huge role in building one of the most connected Talent communities in Australia.

And of course, we dive into the story behind the ITA's, what started as a kernel of an idea has become the go-to event on the Aussie talent calendar.

We also cover a few topics very close to her heart - perimenopause, the gender pay gap and the impact of AI on our industry. 

Most people know Lauren as an all-energy, positive force within our industry. Often outspoken and never shy to speak her mind, I found her in a reflective mood and really enjoyed learning more about what makes her tick. Fascinating listen, well worth checking this one out!
