Here Comes Everyone by The Conference Bard
Originally called "Uncanceled & Unplugged" this podcast was conceived at the outset of the Covid crisis in North America. Being a conference designer I knew a lot of people who had expected to be speaking at events in the subsequent months having them canceled or postponed. So I launched the podcast to provide them with an alternative platform.In August, several months into the pandemic, it was clear that most event organizers had shifted to virtual events and no one was getting canceled anymore.So the podcast has now become "Here Comes Everyone". The name reflects the huge variety of guests we've had in the last few months and the intention to focus a bit more on issues of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.

"What's So Funny About Peace Love & Understanding" - Talking Culture with Lorie Corcuera
Named after one of my favourite Elvis Costello tracks, in this episode Lorie shares both results of the BC Workplace Culture Scan report she recently completed with the Reframe Group as well as her personal mission to help create workplaces grounded on love.
Among the topics we discuss are:
1. Defining what culture is
2. The central role of relationships to any culture and business
3. The importance of belonging - especially in the current environment as employers address racism in the workplace
4. The impact of Covid19 on culture and why it makes it even more important
5. Remote work and corporate culture
6. The role of stories in building culture
7. How culture changes as companies grow
8. Cultural artifacts
And of course love at work.....
