Last year I told the story of a job interview gone wrong. The meeting was not going well and the fire alarm going off in the middle of it was the death nail in that opportunity. Or so I thought. Because I was able to tell a joke to break the ice, I made the interviewer laugh and I got the job. There was no fire lol.
Anne Comer was not in that interview - she was the second interview and final decision maker. In fact, she didn't know the story until I wrote it on LinkedIn. It's my most viewed post - probably because of the name I drop. Check out the post here:
Anne and I have always stayed in touch but now she's the principal for a really well-respected consulting firm, Heidrick & Struggles. She focuses on culture transformation. We talk about building on the experiences she's had since a child and how she's committed to making work a better and safer place by educating companies on diversity, equity and inclusion. We also talk about culture in hybrid/remote work.
The mission of The Janus Oasis is how to bring the best of the past into the future to co-create a future of work that is better. This episode is the closest I've come to the vision I originally had for the podcast.
