The Power of Mattering with Dr Zach Mercurio

Why do people stay engaged, loyal, and inspired at work—and in life? According to researcher, speaker, and author Dr. Zach Mercurio, the answer lies in one of the most overlooked human needs: the need to matter. In this insightful episode, we dive deep into the themes of Zach’s latest book, The Power of Mattering, and explore how creating a culture of significance can radically improve leadership, employee engagement, motivation, and wellbeing. Discover how small, intentional interactions can spark transformation in the workplace and beyond. Learn practical strategies to help others feel seen, heard, and valued—whether you're a leader, educator, parent, or someone who simply wants to show up with more purpose.

Creating great teams through Self Selection - with authors Sandy Mamoli and David Mole

What if everything you think you know about building great teams is backwards? Sandy Mamoli and David Mole, authors of 'Creating Great Teams', discovered something revolutionary when they ditched management spreadsheets and let people choose their own teams. The result? A measured 20% productivity increase and a method now used by thousands across multiple countries. They reveal why managers consistently get team selection wrong, share their battle-tested framework that transforms team dynamics, and explain why treating adults like responsible decision-makers produces extraordinary results. Essential listening for any leader tried of playing chess with people's careers.

episode Modernising HR, if it’s not on your agenda, it should be artwork

Modernising HR, if it’s not on your agenda, it should be

There’s one department in every organisation that lives and breathes people - HR (Human Resources).  While more commonly known as People and Culture, a name change is not the only thing needed in the world of HR.  With change occurring even more rapidly with profound people impacts your HR team is more critical than ever. In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with globetrotting HR expert Natal Dank to explore how Human Resources is evolving from a support function to a strategic business driver. She’ll be sharing her insights into what is going on in HR globally, and what HR functions need to have on their agenda to stay relevant and be able to equip their organisations to not just survive but thrive in changes ahead. Natal, author of "Agile HR" and "Agile L&D," also brings her unique perspective from working with organisations across sectors—from global banks to major charities like Macmillan Cancer Research. Her journey from financial markets to HR gives her a distinctly commercial approach to people strategy that's both refreshing and practical. * https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataldank/ * https://www.pxoculture.com/books * https://www.pxoculture.com/about

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
