As the conversation progresses, I indulged in asking him about his fabulous shoot with Lauryn Hill, as well as an important trip to Kenya which marked a big transition in his life as an artist, or cultural storyteller. Lou shares his passion about documenting the beauty and joy in life, whether in Brooklyn, Cuba or Morocco. A joy to listen to, as much as to discover.

In this conversation, Rajesh Ramani (on LinkedIn) kindly relates his journey from South India to becoming a spiritual teacher as well as a life transformation coach based in the world renowned Kamalaya Wellness Centre in Southern Thailand. I ask him about the importance of Self Awareness and he tells me a story about a wood cutter, which leads us to discussing the pragmatic need for us to know who we are and how we understand the world. He then brings up some of the mind's restless movements and how that can be the focus of meditation. We touch on how he takes everything into account to support the people who come to him, from mental, emotional and spiritual part of their journey and  he offers advice to business executives in this time of great challenge, cueing them to put an emphasis on human connections. "Stay away from negativity" he advises,  "and invest in relationships." We then move on to talk about how to deal with grief with the backdrop of COVID-19 and how to release guilt, anger, and other associated emotions. His advice: "Let yourself grieve!"Rajesh also goes over the new workshops he will lead online and off line, with the Self Leadership Days , the next one being focused on Emotional Resilience, a skill we probably all need to cultivate in these times.  We bring up goddesses, Kali in particular,  then Carl Sagan “The Pale Blue Dot” and I finish our chat with three questions: What are you reading right now? The Bagavad GitaThe 50 greatest short storiesI know you are partial to Netflix occasionally, what are you watching at the moment? NetflixKim’s Convenience StoreAnd any final words to share with our listeners? You'll have to listen to the episode to discover this answer.

On this episode of You Own the Experience, Robert Mann interviews Brian Cunningham on how digital transformation can make or break recruiting agencies. Cunningham highlights the vital importance of leveraging technology to enable recruiters to do what they do best: talk.Cunningham draws on his experience as the Managing Director at Allen Recruiting, a consulting agency based in Ireland that has grown 30% in the last year thanks to its digital transformation. For years, his recruiters would spend most of their days leaving voicemails to candidates that weren't interested. This led to an unhappy and unproductive workforce.That's why Allen Recruiting decided to enhance their recruiting process. By adding technologies like Herefish and Calendly to their tech stack, recruiters could send automated emails to candidates and prioritize their own personal outreach to those that were more likely to engage.You'll also hear Cunningham discuss:Allen Recruiting's successful frameworkThe importance of data quality for successful automation in recruitingThe future of staffing and the remote-work cultureDigital transformation as a necessity in the age of COVID-19Check out the episode to hear more.Theme music by Hendrick ValeraEditing & Mastering by Joel North

In this introductory episode, Robert Mann discusses the overall goal of this podcast, focused on the People Experience, with EmployStream’s CEO, Gerald Hetrick.One of EmployStream’s core values is, “Own It”. Hetrick fought the most for this core value, which focuses all initiatives to help everyone involved in the hiring process. This value also promotes personal accountability, which leads to people eventually coming to work to support each other.Staffing is really a sophisticated 3-party system, where sometimes people can be forgotten.  The staffing industry is going through a revolution where the experience really matters. Thus, the importance of sharing The People Experience.Theme music by Hendrick ValeraEditing & Mastering by Joel North
