Saison 1 · Épisode 1
mercredi 29 novembre 2023 • Durée 34:26
Welcome to Human Wise, the podcast that explores the commercial advantage of being human at work.
With host Helen Wada, executive coach and founder of The Human Advantage, each episode will explore what being human at work looks like across a wide range of industries, from people in senior management to those on the ground.
This week, Helen is joined by Cath Bishop, former Olympic rower turned successful business and leadership coach. Cath is author of The Long Win, which in 2020 was listed in the Financial Times’ Top 10 Business Books.
They discuss the importance of clarity in how we define success, the role of trust and vulnerability in building successful relationships, and how we can cultivate a growth mindset.
Join Helen and Cath as they answer the complex question of how we can define our ambitions in a way that acknowledges our human nature (in flux, ever changing). What’s the difference between finite versus infinite definitions of success? And why should we be careful of metrics?

Ep0: Introducing Human Wise: The Commercial Advantage Of Being Human At Work
Saison 1
vendredi 10 novembre 2023 • Durée 05:28
Welcome to Human Wise, the podcast that explores the commercial advantage of being human at work.
With host Helen Wada, executive coach and founder of The Human Advantage, each episode will explore what being human at work looks like across a wide range of industries, from people in senior management to those on the ground.
We’ll hear from expert coaches, leaders, and business owners to uncover why there is now a commercial imperative to focusing on the human side of business, and how this enables us to advance in our careers and build a culture where people can thrive.
This week, Helen introduces the mission at the heart of the Human-Wise podcast: to help businesses develop a clever vision and a deep understanding of what matters to them, so that as an organisation they can better show up for their employees, their clients, and their stakeholders.
Why is it that profit and pace are associated with negative emotions - and caring, inclusive, innovative mean that people are more actively engaged. Can these objectives not co-exist? Is it true that to deliver financial return in today’s commercial, competitive world, the behaviours required to create a culture of inclusivity, innovation and integrity are left at the door?
Stay tuned for future episodes of Human Wise.
