I've never had a guest write their own episode post so I decided to use it as shownotes. Richard Bukowski is a foresight facilitator and one of my futurist buddies. Check out his Linkedin and website: (1) Richard Bukowski | LinkedIn Richard Bukowski.com https://open.substack.com/pub/richardbukowski/p/help-ill-be-so-old-in-10-years-please?r=ehqlp&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post I'm excited to announce I'll be appearing as a guest on the Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence podcast this Thursday! Link: https://lnkd.in/ezZZuZkM As many companies explore flexible and remote work options, Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence convenes great minds across various fields like cultural changes, urban planning, economics, and technology to have thoughtful discussions on how we can promote work-life harmony for the modern hybrid workforce. I'll be joining host Nola Simon to share my multi-lens perspective on why business leaders and people managers should be focusing much less on outdated norms around in-office work. Instead, we need to optimize talent, flexibility, employee empowerment and outputs versus office attendance. I'm looking forward to diving deeper into Future Thinking and the opportunities hybrid working unlocks across areas like: 🔌 Smarter urban development 🌎 Digital nomadism 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Multigenerational living 🗓️ The 4-day week ✈️ Travel and tourism 💰Guaranteed income initiatives The time is NOW to challenge long-held assumptions around location-dependent work and make hybrid workplaces centered on results, trust and flexibility the NEW normal - because it improves life across the board. Tune into Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence this Thursday to hear the full conversation. If the above resonates with you too, like and share this post with your network!

Sponsored by Nola Simon Advisory: Learn More From This Bonus Podcast Episode The week of American Thanksgiving is often a peak time for layoffs. It happened to me too - 3 years ago I was told my role was being restructured. Effectively it was a constructive dismissal. Best thing I did in the month before I was told about the restructuring? My performance review. This week, I’ll tell you how to use a performance review strategically. It’s a legal document with a lot of negotiating power that people overlook. #PerformanceReviews
