05/03/23 • 37 min

I’m very excited to be featuring a very special guest and friend who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the fields of Steam Learning, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), and Mindfulness Coaching.

In this episode, I am joined by Allan Howard (not related) who will share insights and strategies for integrating SEL and mindfulness practices into Steam education. We discuss how he and his wife got started on this journey and explore how these practices can support the development of essential social and emotional skills, such as empathy, self-awareness, and self-regulation, while also enhancing team cohesiveness and productivity.

Allan also provides tips on how to cultivate a more mindful and compassionate learning environment, where employees can thrive emotionally. We discuss the benefits of mindfulness practices, such as reduced stress, improved focus, and increased resilience.

Thanks again, as always, for tuning in.

Transforming HR From Paper-first to People-first with Tracie Sponenberg

People, not policies.

This is the major shift that our guest, Tracie Sponenberg, is looking to enact in HR departments around the world. Modern HR is more than just compliance, it’s about connecting with community and designing employee experiences so workers can do the best work of their lives and feel true satisfaction in their roles.

Tracie is Chief People Officer at The Granite Group and a highly sought after keynote speaker who specializes in helping HR departments move from a “paper-first” to “people-first” model. As a long time practitioner Tracie has over 25 years of experience helping organizations focus on culture, authenticity, and transparency. She is the recipient of the 2022 Boston HR Council Speaker of the Year Award, the global 2022 and 2021 OnCON Global Icon Top 50 Human Resources Professional Awards and the 2019 RY Perry HR Hero Award.

“HR needs to be passionate about the people experience. We can design journeys and implement employee feedback models to design experiences that they truly love.”

In this episode we get a glimpse into how Tracie found her place in HR and how she was able to move from “Karen in HR,” to “Caring HR” through empathizing with her workforce and building experiences that brought the best out in them.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Thanks, as always, for tuning in to our show.
