Rob Austin returns to Career Resilience! This time round the discussion is about information sharing in a “super transparent” society. Formerly, we have lived with the assumption that for the most part,  information would stay where it is. Rob talks about how in fact information can propagate in ways that are unexpected and can cause us problems. Or ways that can drive unexpected change.  Providing examples of specific situations, Rob discusses Anonymous and the pros and cons of the information age we inhabit. Rob talks too about how he and his fellow researcher and mentor David Upton got some things wrong and the unexpected direction super-transparency can take us as individuals and as societies. Rob also provides specific tips for businesses to consider. More on Ford Keast Human Resources can be found here: https://www.fordkeast.com/services/human-resource-consulting/ & for all the podcast and YouTube information visit our website: https://www.career-resilience.com/ If you enjoyed this podcast or our YouTube video and need support in your own career resilience please do get in contact with Jann at HR@fordkeasthrc.ca We would love to hear from you!

Krutika knew she wanted a career that would mean being helpful to others. What better choice than a career in law? Krutika’s journey included finding out what direction she did not want to go in this field. Interwoven with her career story, as a Child Protection Lawyer, are some of her discussions with her female friends who have gone into Big Law and what that’s like for them. Law as a career choice always seems to go head to head with the concept of work/life balance. For women in particular though, it appears that a career in law is still a very difficult choice when it comes to trying to have it all.More on Ford Keast Human Resources can be found here: https://www.fordkeast.com/services/human-resource-consulting/ & for all the podcast and YouTube information visit our website: https://www.career-resilience.com/ If you enjoyed this podcast or our YouTube video and need support in your own career resilience please do get in contact with Jann at HR@fordkeasthrc.ca We would love to hear from you!
