The Hum(not)Drum Podcast - Chatting with interesting and inspiring people about work and life

The Hum(not)Drum Podcast - A chat with Andrew Waddell from Mind and Matter Consulting - Episode 2 (the business challenge).

This is the second of two podcasts taken from a chat with Andrew Waddell from Mind and Matter Consulting.  This episode is about the challenge that businesses face in re-contracting with their people after the disruption of the lockdown and pandemic.  It's a VAST issue that will run and run, but it was great to get a professional point of view from Andrew!

The Hum(not)Drum Podcast - A chat with Andrew Waddell from Mind & Matter Consulting - Episode 1 (the people challenge)

I caught up with Andrew Waddell from Mind and Matter Consulting.  We're old colleagues from a previous agency, and we chatted about our impressions of the world from that time, and the journeys that we've been on since.  Andrew talks candidly about his mental health challenges, specifically in his mid life.  It was fascinating to chat about the way in which companies have unspoken rules that create pressures for people, and what to do if you need help.

Hum(not)Drum Podcast with Alex and Emily from Common Good Company

In this episode I talk to Alex Barber and Emily Duder from Common Good Company.  They are both professional coaches that previously worked in the advertising industry.  We talk about the experiences we all had in the industry, and how the beliefs people carry in their heads shapes their behaviour at work.  We reminisce a little on the things we've done that perhaps we might have done differently if we'd had a little more support.  Support that Alex and Emily can now offer to agencies!
