This episode features an interview with Pat Wadors, Chief Human Resources Officer at Intuitive, where she leads a global organization responsible for all aspects of the company's employee experience. Prior to joining Intuitive, Pat was the Chief People Officer at UKG and Procore Technologies. She also held multiple leadership roles at ServiceNow, LinkedIn, and Yahoo!In this episode, Miriam sits down with Pat to discuss her book Unlock Your Leadership Story, the evolution of DEI in the workplace, and the importance of storytelling for fostering connection among employees.-------------------“ Words may change, but the intent of creating a high-performing, healthy company that can do their thing, be it a service, a product development, innovate, requires diversity of thought. You look at the past and say, ‘If I hire from this school or from this industry, chances of failure of that candidate are reduced.' But are you hiring the best? Maybe not. You're de-risking, you're not optimizing. If you slow your neurological roll, if you look at exactly what you need in the future, not just for today, you can create a healthier company.” – Pat Wadors-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(03:55): Getting to know Pat*(06:31): Pat discusses her book Unlock Your Leadership Story*(19:42): Pat breaks down personal scorecards *(24:12): The evolution of DEI in the workplace *(28:59): The importance of storytelling in creating connection*(35:56): A lesson Pat learned in her career-------------------Links:Connect with Pat on LinkedInEmail PatVisit Pat's websiteOrder Pat's Book Unlock Your Leadership StoryConnect with Miriam on LinkedInCohesion PodcastAbout Simpplr

In "Unlock Your Leadership Story," Pat Wadors presents a fresh approach to leadership development, weaving fables and folktales into practical insights on motivation, business dynamics, and personal growth. Each chapter opens with a familiar story, and then explores its relevance to modern challenges, offering readers thought-provoking perspectives on leadership and self-improvement. Wadors begins by sharing how these timeless tales shaped her own journey as a Human Resources leader. Having grown up immersed in storytelling, she learned valuable lessons and motifs from family and friends that influenced her professional approach to connecting with others and nurturing her team. "Unlock Your Leadership Story" dissects aspects of stories using the author's unique writing style. The book has a calming and almost therapeutic tone, working with you to help you achieve the highest self-esteem obtainable. It feels very comfortable and inviting, each chapter leaving you reflecting on past decisions and thinking of future outcomes. It's clear that the author has had significant experience dealing with people not only from an HR business perspective but also from a psychological viewpoint, genuinely capable of connecting with individuals. Each chapter begins with a new fable that Wadors puts her own spin on. Sometimes characters will survive otherwise fatal tales, or undergo enlightenment throughout their journey, but it's these details that give the perspective of a conversation. A common tale could have an uncommon ending. The book features eight distinct stories, each accompanied by lessons that blend individual growth with management principles. While concise, each chapter leaves readers with lasting reflections. Wadors complements the fables with personal anecdotes, sharing experiences that shaped her as a leader. Her advice guides readers to replicate her successes and avoid her pitfalls, using coaching techniques that foster creative thinking and self-discovery. For instance, in Chapter 2, Wadors draws on the fable of the Elephant and the Blind Men to illustrate the importance of perspective. This chapter guides readers on how to step back and see the bigger picture, often revealing solutions that aren't immediately visible. Oftentimes, individuals are only touching one part of the elephant and misconstruing the animal. As a parent, she relates this lesson to moments when seemingly drastic situations became manageable with a fresh outlook. After the author's perspective, she switches to a reflection section, asking questions to the reader invoking critical thinking and reflection upon one's own life. The questions are genuine questions, not superficial questions that can be summarized with a quick word or two. To summarize the chapter, Wadors breaks down the key points of the story and commentary, giving bullet points of critical elements. Chapters are stories, commentary, personal experiences, reflections, and blocks in the text filled with asides. Each chapter is filled with questions, lessons, and goals that are intended for you to work through and write about. The final chapter of the book consists of blank sections, questions, and lists of goals, giving you space to work through the lessons each story provides. While the book does offer advice and guides that can be applicable in business scenarios, the majority of the content is aimed at people improving themselves. I believe that the book truly can help someone step back and focus on self-improvement. From a management standpoint, each story has extremely specific implications that could be used in a business setting. Wadors is a renowned HR leader and Chief Human Resource Officer who has worked at UKG, Procore Technologies, ServiceNow, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, and Plantronics Inc. Her expertise brings credibility to this distinctive blend of storytelling and leadership guidance, making "Unlock Your Leadership Story" a compelling read for anyone looking to grow both personally...

And so we experimented and said, let's have a trial run at being a manager. We took about 25 people that wanted to be a manager as a cohort.  We said, okay, for a period of six to nine months, we would give you a small team you'd be responsible to learn how to interview and make hiring decisions. Then you get to decide whether or not you want to continue the manager path or not.

“Every time I change jobs, I try to change industries so I have to change how I think.” Pat Wadors' growth mindset aligns with how successful leaders approach today's Now of Work. It may also inspire those determined to cling to processes of the past. But that's not the only reason why we chatted with UKG's Chief People Officer. Pat is a trailblazer who intentionally created a cohort where people leaders can share with authenticity and transparency. She practices leading and learning openly; while encouraging others to be honest with authentic. Pat believes that we should repeat and multiply what works, but don't stand in front of our peers and parrot case study after case study of 'flawless execution.' “I haven't done anything flawless in my life. Why can't we admit our mistakes to one another? How are any of us going to learn and grow?” TAKE A LISTEN to this insightful conversation!

In this month's episode we discuss the IMechE's drive towards greater equality, diversity and inclusion in the engineering profession and why during Pride Month here in the UK, it is important for us to come together as a community and recognise the variety of differences that makes up our engineering world.   “When we listen and celebrate what is both common and different, we become a wiser, more inclusive, and better organization”. This is a quote from Pat Wadors, Chief People Officer for Procore Technologies and passionate ED&I advocate.   And that idea of commonality, as well as being uniquely individual, is what unites the 120,000 members of the IMechE.  But a year of unprecedented changes to our lives and workplaces as well as the shocking racial attack on George Floyd in America, have sparked a sea change in the way we think, speak and see equality, diversity and inclusion. This of course is not something that is new to those who have been campaigning for change across gender, sexual orientation or race for decades.  But this convergence of events have triggered a retrospective process across many aspects of society. So, where does the engineering community come in to this?, and how does it effect, not just the IMechE's members but the millions of engineers world-wide?   In 2020 the Institution formed its diversity and inclusion committee, chaired by Isobel Pollock-Hulf OBE. It was made up of members and staff with a wide variety of experiences and knowledge on D&I matters.  In February this year, the committee launched ‘A Case for Change', its Diversity & Inclusion strategy report for 2021-2025.  The report aims to “support our vision, culture, foundations and goals across our employee and membership base.” And is “about people developing a sense of belonging, feeling respected and valued for who they are.”  So, how will this report translate into real actions? and what effects will it have on our engineering community?   My guests this month are Dr Shini Somara, Carly Nettleford, and Dr Mark McBride-Wright. Shini is a Mechanical Engineer & Fluid Dynamicist turned international TV presenter, Children's Book Author, Podcaster, public Speaker and Mentor. She is passionate about making science & technology accessible to all and has turned cutting-edge science into heartfelt and informative television; reporting on challenging subjects such as climate change, food, health, energy, and the physics of dark matter.   Carly joined the IMechE as an Engineering Policy Officer in April 2020. She works with the policy advisors and IMechE's expert member groups to help shape the debate across the field of engineering policy. Carly began her engineering career in 2012 on a pre-apprenticeship programme and Completed her apprenticeship in just two years, being recognised for her achievements by winning the Apprentice of The Year award for West London. She has worked in construction and in biomedical engineering and is now a chartered Eng Tech.   Mark is a chartered chemical engineer specialising in health and safety in the oil and gas and defence industries. He is a recognised leader in diversity and inclusion in the engineering and construction industry and is chair and co-founder of InterEngineering, an organisation which connects, informs and empowers LGBT+ engineers and supporters. Mark has authored a report for the UK Government on tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in engineering and is working with the UK Government on implementation of the report's recommendations. So its no surprise that the IMechE asked Mark to facilitate engagement with staff and members for the D&I report.   We also hear from IMechE past president and D&I committee chair, Isobel Pollock-Hulf OBE. Isobel has been promoting Engineering, Measurement and Manufacturing for over 30 years following a highly successful career with a number of large Yorkshire-based multi-nationals.  She was the 127th President in 2012, only the second lady at that time. She is a visiting professor of engineering at Leeds University, She was Master of the Worshipful Company of Engineers, and is a Fellow of the IET and CGI. She was named as one of the Daily Telegraph's Top 50 Influential Women in Engineering in 2016 and is a patron of the Women's Engineering Society.   Useful Links: https://www.imeche.org/about-us/governance/council/committees-and-boards/diversity-and-inclusion-committee https://interengineeringlgbt.com/ https://equalengineers.com/ http://www.drshinisomara.com/innervation-podcast.html https://www.imeche.org/about-us/our-people/carly-nettleford https://www.raeng.org.uk/diversity-in-engineering   We would love to hear your thoughts and comments on this episode and the IMechE's ED&I report.

Millennial and Generation Z keynote speaker and author, Ryan Jenkins, welcomes Pat Wadors, Chief Talent Officer at ServiceNow, to the Next Generation Catalyst Podcast.  The topic discussed is how diversity and inclusion impacts learning and development. We also cover...   How ServiceNow approaches learning and development How learning and development is evolving How diversity, inclusion, and belonging impacts the learning experience Trends impacting the future of work And more...

On today’s show I talk about focusing on inclusion and belonging, which is Pillar #2 from my new book, We’re All in This Together: Creating a Team Culture of High Performance, Trust, and Belonging.  Inclusion is about having respect for and appreciation of the differences of everyone on our team, and belonging is about creating an environment in which everyone knows they’re an integral part of the group.  Belonging is a fundamental human need.  These things are essential to the health, culture, and success of our teams (and any group), and they’re often difficult to address authentically for a number of reasons.  It takes willingness, awareness, and courage for us to both engage in authentic conversations about inclusion and belonging, and to actually move things in a positive direction on these fronts.  And, if our teams are going to thrive, we must be willing to do this important work together in an on-going and effective way.

"A bravespace workplace is one where people can show up as they are, both perfect and flawed, and do great things together. " — Moe Carrick  Most workplaces are unfit for human life. Many are still miserable at work. Despite the efforts of good leaders and managers in taking care of their people - investing and training them as well as creating an enjoyable workplace, they still fail. Why is that?  Something needs to change to create a win-win situation for both the employee and employer.  This motivated Moe Carrick to write Bravespace Workplace, where she puts everything into perspective. She explores how a lot of employers are treating their employees wrong. She recognizes that people are such a huge component in building a great company.  Our conversation is centered around her book - Bravespace Workspace. In the book, she talks about real-life stories about how companies and organizations are into bringing out the best in their people. We also discuss technology's role in the workplace, the definition of masculinity and femininity at work, inefficient managers, vulnerability, braveness, and many more!  Today's episode is jam-packed with ideas for creating a great workplace that's applicable to any organization!  I encourage you to go grab a copy of her book! It's an excellent book for everyone in the workforce, especially business leaders and managers who are looking into a more thoughtful and human-like approach to leading their people and business.  In this episode, you will learn about: Moe’s motivation and inspiration for writing "Bravespace Workplace" Why organizations are not as human as they need to be able to get the best out of people How the mindset that stems out from the industrial revolution resulted in unhealthy workplaces today Profits and economics What is a “Bravespace Workspace” and what does it look like Brave space workplace vs. toxic workplace Why bad managers and leaders are the major cause of a toxic workplace and why companies still hang on to them The role of technology and machines in our work Defining masculinity and femininity in the workplace Are nap pods and ping pong tables really efficient and effective?

You know we love talking about feelings, and we love talking about work. So when we saw that a new book was hitting stores this month called No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotion at Work, we just knew we had to talk about it. We’re joined today by one of the book’s coauthors, Liz Fosslien. She’s an information designer, an illustrator, and a woman on a mission to help people understand that feelings aren’t just normal, they’re crucial—even on the job. > You’re not the only person that is feeling anxiety, that is feeling joy, that is feeling frustration. There’s this really traditional view that you should check your feelings at the door when you enter an office. And research shows that we are emotional creatures, regardless of circumstance. So, it’s actually biologically impossible to feel nothing. > —Liz Fosslien, coauthor, No Hard Feelings We talk about: Why you shouldn’t “check your feelings at the door” How listening to your feelings can make you smarter The problem with suppressing emotions to be “successful” Why our love affair with “rational thinking” at work is failing us When and how to start talking about your feelings with colleagues Links: The book: No Hard Feelings Liz and Mollie’s website Names drops from the interview: Pat Wadors, the CHRO of ServiceNow; Mellody Hobson and her TED Talk, “Color Brave or Colorblind”; sociology professor Adia Harvey Wingfield; psychology professor Kira Hudson Banks; and Gregory M. Walton, the Stanford professor behind The Belonging Guide Plus: Everybody’s winging it all the time, not just you The worst part of feeling like an imposter is the loneliness Fuck yeah to boss women—like Emilie Aries and her podcast, Bossed Up—Sara’s latest binge > I think most of us feel like we’re winging it in life in general...and we just don’t talk about it enough. And so then what happens is people who are struggling feel like everybody else has it all together. But no, we totally don’t have it all together. > —Sara

Episode #40 - We are joined by Pat Wadors, CHRO & Chief Talent Officer, ServiceNow. Watch the video footage from the podcast here: http://bit.ly/HRDLeadersPodcast.

Welcome to episode 179, this week the main topic is something I seem to be coming across a lot…employee advocacy on LinkedIn. For those who haven’t come across this before, it simply means utilising the employees of a company to be ‘advocates’ of the organisation to help with marketing, sales and recruitment. The problem is, I’m really not sure it works on LinkedIn….I will explain more later. Interesting Stuff I Saw This Week Artificial intelligence just made guessing your password a whole lot easier Carl who sent this article in uses Password Safe https://pwsafe.org I also noticed another two key people at LinkedIn have recently left the organisation. I have met many LinkedIners in my time but the one who has impressed me the most was Wade Burgess. Wade is a massive talent and will be a huge miss to LinkedIn. Keep an eye on his new employer Shiftgig, if Wade is convinced enough to join them as CEO, they are likely to be going places! If you are listening Wade (highly unlikely) - my very best wishes for the future. LinkedIn have also lost another key person who is highly respected. Pat Wadors was the SVP of global talent. Both individuals were key players for LinkedIn, these must be testing times for the CEO Jeff Weiner. This got me thinking and I checked back at my connections at LinkedIn and remarkably another 10 (in addition to the above) have resigned since the announcement of the Microsoft takeover. Employee Advocacy. Does It Really Work on LinkedIn? I have had several conversations recently with companies who want to know how to use LinkedIn more effectively as an employee advocacy tool. This got me thinking about the whole subject and I have to say, I’m somewhat sceptical as to whether this really is a good idea on LinkedIn (possibly anywhere). My thoughts; Does it actually work? It seems a hot subject but I remain sceptical that is actually has any tangible benefits. Most content seems to be external links which are pretty much a waste of time posting on LinkedIn anyway. Sharing company page posts doesn’t seem to work either - company posts get very little engagement. Average figures for Cisco (number 4 in LinkedIn top company pages for 2017) are 135 likes and 3 comments and Schneider Electric (number 2) get 300 likes and 2 comments. The vast majority of likes are from employees (advocates). A comparable set of stats from a really strong personal user is 135 likes and 15 comments! Experts in this subject talk about providing ‘guidance’ to employees but I suspect this either puts them off being active or means they feel ‘directed’ which leads to a huge lack of authenticity. Why not educate employees to use LinkedIn (voluntarily) in a way that allows them to be authentic individuals and not mouth pieces for the marketing or recruitment function? Most companies (and advocates) are guilty of the McFly syndrome …It’s all about you! If employees are happy, motivated and active on LinkedIn then they will naturally be advocates. They actually don’t need to talk about the company at all…just show that they are interesting, switched on individuals. Here is the post I did on this subject (click on it to see the comments); You can see the LinkedIn #LifeAtSAP posts here and the #WeAreCisco posts here These week we have a first! ….a live question recorded today! Lorraine Bow is a Ukulele instructor based in London and has been struggling to find ways of using LinkedIn to win new clients. She asked me to help her and this is what you can hear in the episode You can view Lorraine’s recent activity by clicking here Here is her original ‘Goosebumps’ post which, as you can see didn’t get much traction  

We’re doing things a little differently this week. Instead of a new guest on the show, you get me, and three past guests: Pat Wadors, Natalie Patterson, and Deborah Dalton. We’re revisiting a few conversations that I really enjoyed, and focusing in on a few moments of great advice and storytelling. This isn’t a greatest moment sort of thing. Instead it’s a few conversations that I love and stories that bring their advice to life. It’s also a great way to hear something from a past episode you may have missed. Here’s the truth, this is an experiment. If you love it, let me know. Or even if you have suggestions, tell me that too. All of my contact info is included here. About the conversations — I will set up each conversation with a little context, about the guest, why this specific conversation matters, and so on. That way, it’s easy to jump straight into the interview excerpts. More about the guests included in this episode and links to their full episodes: ■ Pat Wadors, Chief HR Officer for LinkedIn ■ Natalie Patterson, Poet, Teaching Artist, and President of the nonprofit Sister Support ■ Deborah Dalton, Executive Director of the Sonoma County-based nonprofit, Mentor Me I absolutely love these conversations, and I hand picked each one to include here. I think you’ll find some great nuggets of goodness in each conversation.

Pat Wadors is aiming to help people flourish - affecting people's lives and experiences - doing it authentically and with great care. Because that’s her purpose. As the Senior Vice President of LinkedIn’s Global Talent Organization, and all around business leader, Pat helps people grow in their careers, and ideally, in all parts of their lives. Pat is also embracing diversity and inclusion in Silicon Valley, and recently coined the acronym #DIBs - diversity, inclusion and belonging. She describes how this comes to life for her and why it’s important. In addition to Pat’s seasoned experiences in Human Resources and as a business leader, she’s also an outspoken introvert. She knows there is power in understanding her strengths and her opportunities - making sure her actions and intentions are understood vs. remaining quiet, and in return, developing better relationships and helping other introverts have a place at the table. Pat also shares thoughtful advice about following the work you love, being true to your passion, how she continues to stay inspired - and provides some terrific storytelling.   See more about this episode and the show at: MyBigStory.show JOIN CHRISTOPHER’S ADVENTURE & SEE BEHIND-THE-SCENES PICS, FUN AND MORE Instagram Twitter Facebook ChristopherSwan.info GET MORE STORIES, INSPIRATION, IDEAS, AND MY BIG STORY UPDATES Subscribe to Christopher’s newsletter: Be Inspired LOVE THE SHOW?

In this week’s episode of The Future of Work podcast I talk with Pat Wadors, Senior Vice President of Global Talent Organization at LinkedIn. Pat runs all of talent and Human Resources (HR), and she is pretty much responsible for all of the cool things that you keep hearing about LinkedIn. It is no surprise that Pat was ranked as one of the 2015 top 50 women in technology by the National Diversity Council. And, I’m excited to say that Pat will be one of the speakers at our upcoming Future of Work Forum on April 29th in San Francisco. Pat and I talk about everything from Millenials and how HR is changing to what she is doing to leverage big data and analytics to drive HR decision-making. She also shares some great stories about vulnerability that I think will resonate with any senior leader. Considering that LinkedIn’s workforce has almost doubled during her tenure, you have to assume that Pat is doing some really interesting things to make sure that culture can scale, employee engagement stays high, and that LinkedIn as an organization can succeed. Pat walks us through how LinkedIn is transforming and the challenges she’s facing, and gives us a rare insight into some of the fascinating experiments she’s done and the results she’s seen. Pat shares her sagacious grasp of how to make corporate culture scale, how the role of HR is evolving, and how she sees her role, specifically. Tune in and listen to what has become one of my favorite episodes!   (Music by Ronald Jenkees)
