Laura Overton: Rethinking our thinking in HR
Jul 06, 2022 Season 2 Episode 7

Hello and welcome back!

This week's podcast guest is Laura Overton. Laura and I have both been judges for the HR Zone Culture Pioneers programme for a few years now and got to know each other a bit better earlier in the year when we both worked on the awards show which was broadcast live rather than happening in person due to the pandemic. 

I really wanted to get her on the show because she always brings fresh ideas whenever we talk. Being judges means we get to see how we view the same story differently. Our scores are often very different! But the conversation that follows is always thought provoking and the final result represents a breath of opinions. 

Laura Overton is an author, facilitator and award winning learning analyst dedicated to uncovering and sharing effective practices in learning innovation that lead to business value. She is known for leading a 15-year global research programme to uncover and share learning strategies that lead to business success. 

In the last decade, Laura was the first woman to be awarded the Learning and Performance Institute’s prestigious Colin Corder Award for services to training and was the recipient of the inaugural elearning age Special Achievement award at the Learning Technology awards. 

More recently Laura established #Learningchangemakers and is a co-founder of Emerging Stronger - a global initiative to support the changing world of workplace learning.

On the show we discuss - 

  • How HR professionals think about their value
  • Measuring the impact of our work
  • How to have a more curious mindset
  • Why HR needs to test ideas and approaches on ourselves before expecting others to jump on board
  • Wellbeing and mindfulness for HR people
