Sophie Wade has been working, writing, and speaking on the Future of Work before the Future of Work was cool. She’s always been a teacher, so after her first career in media, she started the Flexcel Network, helping organizations optimize around outcomes and sustainable work environments, leveraging in part, flexible work. In 2019, she published the first of five LinkedIn Learning courses. Sophie launched her podcast ‘Transforming Work’ with Sohie Wade Just weeks before the global lockdown in March 2020. In 2022, she released her 2nd book ‘Empathy Works: The Key to Competitive Advantage in the New Era of Work.’ Thrilled to welcome my very special guest, Sophie Wade to Work 20XX. Hosting 100 episodes of her own podcast, Sophie brings a breadth of expertise that reaches far into, and branches into the area of people development, re-skilling and training, education, both traditional and new digital forms, leadership, and of course the role of empathy for leaders moving forward in a digital, post covid world.  Sophie shared some of the latest from her travels and guests, asking good questions as a fellow host will, from music creativity to technological innovation, AI Hallucinations (yes, that’s what they call them) to digital platforms, and challenges in the multi-generational workplace.

Please join me in welcoming Nellie Hayat, Workplace Innovation Lead, Density, and Host of the Beyond Work Conversations Podcast to Work 20XX. What a treat to share the mic with podcast host who has wholeheartedly embraced the good vibes of the workplace ecosystem. And when it comes to positive energy, this guest literally lights up the room on her arrival, in person or online. We cover a wide range of topics starting with her move to workplace from stops in fashion to aerospace. She's a seasoned traveler, who values experience with cultures all over the world. And since languages, dialects, and accents vary place to place, Nellie has turned this communication challenge into an operating principle of being more aware, and paying more attention, when listening carefully to people speaking. And being aware that people might have a challenge with her accent, and take that into consideration. She prides herself on being a generalist, able to bring the best of prior experiences into new fields. And she's certainly an original. Thanks again Nellie.

It’s like Airbnb and WeWork had a baby but with less drama. That’s a simple summary of Radious. pro from CEO and Co-Founder Amina Moreau. She moved from film and photography through marketing into co-defining the workplace future. As an Airbnb host during the pandemic with inventory to move and dirty laundry stacking up, she invented Radious. Radious offered a solution with residences outfitted with business amenities less than a commute away for workers. Or these residences can serve as an offsite adventure experience. As they used to say, there’s a property for that. We discussed the growing piece of a more flexible on-demand real estate portfolio, her entrepreneurial journey, the special magic of starting a marketplace from zero, and of course, her awesome home studio setup.

Julie Whelan and the research team at CBRE have published the latest edition of the US Office Occupier Sentiment Survey to share insights into the current state of the office market. There have been significant changes since our last conversation, coming out of the pandemic in the summer of 20222. Organizations have become more declarative in setting and communicating policies regarding the number of days employees are expected to be present in the office. Directions, recommendations, or mandates, even those with an 'office first' approach do not expect teams to come in five days a week. When it comes to the health of office buildings, the age-old rule of "location, location, location" still applies. Mixed-use submarkets that host a variety of business and residential profiles, as well as multiple economic drivers, tend to be more attractive, and active, with less crime. Office buildings located in these healthier communities are doing better than those in less vibrant submarkets, like overly office-dense central business districts.  Julie and I delve into the implications for office, commercial real estate, and facilities professionals, while also highlighting ways to enhance the effectiveness of those responsible for driving business outcomes.  Thanks again Julie.

Brian Elliott literally 'wrote the book' on the future of work with his fellow authors and Future Forum co-founders, Sheela Subramanian and Helen Kupp. ‘How The Future Works.’. At Future Forum, Brian and team got beyond the assumptions, and surveyed 10,000 people, every quarter to get the data.  What are the secrets to building culture, connection, driving innovation, and effectiveness, in the ever-evolving world of work? Culture, Innovation, and Productivity, that s what people question the most in my workplace, future of work, hybrid, remote, digital-first........ conversations.  So we jumped right into it, and Brian shares some of the lessons learned, a level deeper into connections, behaviors, communications, effective, management principles, meetings as more, with actionable insight that everyone can use to improve the work experience, regardless of where you plug in your laptop of recharge your phone. Digital-first, agency, flexibility, psychological safety, all built on intentional behaviors, 1:1 communication, documentation-first, and repeated communication on the mission, the why, and each person's role in delivering against the mission (see Janitor, JFK, & Apollo Moon Mission story). Living the values in words, actions, and decisions. Pushing decision-making down as far as possible, including the establishment of norms at the team level.  What a treat to sit down with one of the top leaders in the industry, built on the back of amazing first-person survey data, the Future Forum partnership, and experience at Slack, Google, and BCG, key and leading players in the digitization of work and workplace.  Thanks again, Brain.

Andreas Hoffbauer, Founder & Director of Atelier Kultur has built a business helping organizations leverage organizational sociology best practices to build better networks in and around their organizations, to increase the discovery and dissemination of knowledge, reinforce and grow culture, and thrive in these increasingly dynamic times. Networks, and networking, be they physical or digital, face-to-face, via digital work platforms like Slack, Teams, or Webex, or external platforms like LinkedIn, or any number of professional associations, networks provide the ties that bind, and can be the path to new knowledge, information, and potentially cutting edge thought, design, and insights to provide new axes of competitive advantage. Especially in fast-moving industries like technology and media. And since every company's evolving into a technology company, the applicability of Andreas' lessons reach far and wide. Weak ties, strong ties. Internal groups, and cross-functional connectors, information flows up and down and horizontal to the chain of command, direct connects and indirect relationships, we covered it all in this extended conversation.  We even got into the Ship of Theseus aka Theseus' paradox.  I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation with Andreas as much as I did.   Work 20XX Episode Page for show notes, transcript, etc.  YouTube - https://youtu.be/n3kOAh61HfA
