Episode Synopsis
The Workplace Event's Workplace Leaders Top 50 awards are in their second year, and the Geeks were honoured to be invited to speak to the winners. Each of these special episodes will feature small but perfectly formed chats with three winners.In this fourth episode we turn from facilites management to the broader context of workplace strategy, change and experience. We're in conversation with an architect in the business of people, Naomi Sakamoto (Gensler), time-served workplace strategist Caroline Pontifex (Savills) and indie workplace experience and change guru Dr Dan Wakelin (isovist).We asked each winner the same questions to learn about their career, how they got into the workpace sector, how it's changed, what it could do better, and what advice they have for folks coming in. These are human stories, personal anecdotes and revealing conversations into what these workplace leaders are thinking.Thanks to obo for providing the Mute recording booth at The Workplace Event and to MJF Interiors for their excellent Workplace Geeks podcast lounge.Learn more 🌱🧠The Workplace Leaders Top 50GenslerSavillsisovist ☎️ Leave us a voicemail on the Workplace Geeks hotline.
