The Manager's Moment
Managers are people too. They occupy their own unique spot in this world, which influences how they navigate work. One story at a time, managers bring to life moments they encounter to help us understand what it means, and takes, to be a manager. And what legacy can look like.
In each episode, a guest shares their story, and how micro and major moments they experience along the way changed them. We explore themes that weave through their working lives, how they came to be the professional they are and what this means to them.
I'm Belinda Brummer, the host, and for over two decades as a HR and talent development professional, I’ve witnessed what it takes to show up as an effective and impactful manager. Through these conversations, my goal is, to at all times, keep my - and your - gaze on the person. And in so doing, keep people at the centre of all of our experience and understanding.
The Manager's Moment, seeing the person in this, and every moment.

What is a mentor, can mentoring programmes really 'force' this kind of relationship and is there such a thing as an anti-mentor?
This is a short bonus quickcast, following Mike Curran's episode titled The Accidental Mentor'. Here, Mike provides his definition of what a mentor is, cautions against the anti-mentor and expresses his doubts about formalised mentoring programmes.
