Peter Voss (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vosspeter/) and his fellow colleagues coined the term "AGI" or Artificial General Intelligence, as they worked to create a natural language intelligence engine that can actually think, learn, and reason - unlike what most AI is today, Narrow AI, which basically just does as it's coded. We talk about how AI is really just trendy and often misrepresented through marketing speak, which is why most people and organizations fail to understand its impact on processes like hiring, where it often postpones or introduces bias because that's what was coded into it ..read more

Sheila Stafford (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheila-stafford-451976b/) and TeamSense have focused their mission on helping the largest part of the workforce, hourly workers, get the support that generally has been focused on the smaller part of the workforce, salaried, in-office employees. The pandemic shifted that focus away from in-office employees, who now can work from home, to those non-desk workers who are required to go back to work outside of the home, generally. How does this shift company culture? Do we need to redefine our evaluation and hiring of these types of workers based on the ..read more

Lorraine Heber-Brause (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorraine-heber-brause-b43876b/) joins us on this episode to talk about the new skills we need to foster more open dialogue in this new future of work marked by virtual versus in-person connection. Lorraine encourages curious conversations to talk about people and problems, and to assess people in a way that brings in our own perspectives/beliefs but also helps us to understand others in a way that we haven't done before, especially when we're interviewing them. We need to explore more layers of a candidate and reveal the right information to h ..read more

Michael Reddington, CFI (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelreddingtoncfi/) joins the podcast to talk about the correlations between interrogation and general workplace conversations with employees, or interviews with candidates. There are similar psychological behaviors at play and we talk about understanding those parallels to help create a better workplace.
