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.

Prof Jamie Gruman explains how to use your leisure time to maximize its impact to keep you energized and engaged
In the time of Covid, with he blurring of boundaries between work and life, the increased stresses caused by the virus and social isolation, and the dire predictions about the impact all this is having on our mental health, we all need the wisdom of Dr Jamie Gruman.
While Dr Gruman's work spans the gamut of HR and business I asked him to join me specificallly to share some of the insights from his book Boost: The Science of Recharging Yourself in the Age of Unrelenting Demands. While written a couple of years ago, this is very much a book of our times.
Dr Gruman walks us through his RNU model - Rebuild, Nourish, Unhook - that you can apply to your downtime so that it genuinely replenishes you and raises your energy. If you've ever come back from a vacation wishing you could have had another week, or if you struggle to maintain your energy at work, Dr Gruman's approach is for you.
