Kirsty Lynagh: Architect and Anthropologist
Jun 08, 2022 Season 2 Episode 3

With the Great Resignation post-pandemic, many people are embarking on new roles. 

I've coached a lot of leaders in the weeks before they start a new job, helping them think about what they stand for in their new role, how to 'land' on day one, and how to work out where to start actually doing the job. 

Well, that's exactly what this week's guest has been thinking about and in the show she shares just what questions she's been trying to ask herself before she walks in to the office on day one. 

Kirsty Lynagh is the newly appointed Chief People Officer at Seccl Technology, a company helping to rebuild the infrastructure of investments and advice whilst promoting financial inclusion.

Kirsty’s human centric, yet first principles, approach has been shaped over twenty years during which she has adopted non traditional methods to deliver people strategies that enable inclusive, engaged and performing workplaces.  Kirsty’s had a diverse career across four industries in the UK and Australia and has sought out opportunities where she can make a difference to the people and organisations she works with, and a close eye on their impact in broader society.   

She’s been recognised as a pioneer of forward thinking, human centric people practices that really deliver results and has won multiple awards for workplace, people engagement and leadership.

In this interview we talk about - 

  • What she thought about during a 6 month sabbatical
  • How she's preparing to embark on a brand new role in her new company
  • How she will protect her time and manage her diary
  • How she's deciding on her philosophy and vision for the people strategy at Seccl
  • Being extrovert at work and introvert at home
  • Our privileged 'knowledge work' echo chamber
  • The gender pay gap
