My today’s guest is Sam Bennett. In our conversation, we are going to discuss why at least 90% of work meetings are a complete waste of time and energy. You might think, I also attend some meetings that are not beneficial and without any outcome, or the outcome is just another meeting. Now, if you wonder how that plays into your productivity, we will also see some fundamental misconceptions when we think and talk, probably too much about the term productivity. Sam is a great person to talk to about those topics as she has written two bestselling books on how to get things done and how little but constant changes can have a huge impact on your life.

Hiring Freelancers With Skills
Season 2
Thursday, March 3, 2022 • Duration 28:02
The demand for talent keeps increasing dramatically, however, the vast majority of organizations are still mostly working with, or better say suffer from limiting themselves to only local approaches in the search of talent. Working with skilled freelancers & project workers is not a valid option for them at all. Concerns regarding safety, wrong assumptions on commitment and availability, mixed up with some false beliefs about reliability and stability lead to these huge piles of job openings. Looking at your company hiring demands you might be confronted with a long list of openings, or worst, where you have openings that are lurking around on the job board for months. Let’s be frank. Those openings are not only open on your job site. They are also reflecting the gaps of knowledge present in your organization. If you miss your hiring goals, you don't end up building all the things you need to build, or they move much slower and might lose relevance quickly. So, today we are going to have another look at solutions on how to hire skilled freelancers that you need so urgently.
