The best podcasts for Thinking differently about communication, resilience and the future of work.

I'm an international B2B consultant who has advised hybrid/remote work teams for the last 10 years (well before it was a daily headline). I've worked for 5 different corporations, 2 of them global, over the last two decades. I pioneered hybrid work and have worked some version of hybrid/remote since 2012. If I’m tossing metrics, I like to mention that I owned business-critical relationships totalling more than $1 billion. My deep expertise means that I’ve been interviewed extensively in the media - newspapers, television, radio, magazines. I spoke at a world-class conference about the positive impacts of hybrid/remote on work and wellness. I am well-connected and have the ear of senior transformation consultants and futurists around the globe. In addition to working with organizations, I run the Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence, a membership designed to support & inspire C-Suite, HR experts and leaders. This cutting edge resource is powered by my podcast of the same name - 30 episodes & counting & thousands of downloads. I’m focusing my efforts on becoming one of the best resources for B2B hybrid/remote education today. The #1 skill for the 21st century is navigating uncertainty. You don’t have to do it alone.

Thank you for being an advocate.’ ´I had to speak with you because it’s so rare to find like-minded people who are willing to go on camera and advocate for a better future of work.´ The work I do with you helps you create long-term solutions that will not only retain and attract staff, it will help them thrive.

I'm a change strategist and storyteller. I've worked some version of hybrid or remote since 2012. I started advocating for work from home when I had two kids under 5 and a 4 hour daily commute. The Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence is a podcast where we talk about co-creating the future of work. It’s powered by questions. How do we bring the best elements of corporate from the past into the future? How can we design a workplace that will allow employees to thrive and integrate their work into their lives? What will the corporation of the future look like more importantly, what will it feel like? Will the future be hybrid or will we be working remotely? How will the office be re-imagined. And how does that affect leadership process procedure? Employee engagement and retention? Are you tired of the same old podcasts that rehash what you already know? Do you crave insights from those shaping our world with innovative ideas, all while understanding the vital concept of trust? Want to thrive in the digital disruption era, where trust is key? If you said yes to any of these, listen to the Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence podcast. It's not just about hybrid/remote—it's about everything, including the crucial role of trust. Society is shifting from hierarchical organizational trust to distributed trust and this impacts all aspects of life and work. Excellence is subversive. What future would you love to see? This is different from best practices - that's what everyone else is doing. What is your favourite personal vision of the future of work? We are witnessing the transformation of technology, society, and complex systems. Let's explore designing a flexible, human-centric workplace that fosters trust, mastering leadership in hybrid and remote settings. The status quo has its own risks - change is not a bad word but people adapt their worldviews only when the story of change resonates for them. Prepare to challenge assumptions, spark imagination, and take action, with trust and creativity as our guiding principles. Meet experts, leaders, and innovators sharing their expertise and stories about diverse experiences and skills necessary for the future of work. Chatting is my superpower. Let's chat. I'm your host, Nola Simon, a hybrid/remote futurist, an organizational consultant working with companies to create and implement hybrid/remote strategy that works well now but also sets the company and employees up for success in the future of work 5 or 10 years from now.

My podcast is about the future of work - hybrid/remote is a portal to thinking differently about the possibilities. I'm drawn to podcasts and stories that highlight stories of change and creative approaches to the future of work.

My podcast list is about personal stories that illustrate alternative ways of thinking about the future work using technology and imagination.
