Lessons from the Lockdowns Part 2 | Sue Wittenoom and Ilana Razbash
Watch Part 2 of Lessons from the Lockdowns, with Sue Wittenoom and Ilana Razbash in conversation with Naomi Stead and Justine Clark.
In this session, established consultant Sue Wittenoom and young practitioner Ilana Razbash share insights about navigating work and career during the pandemic. The discussion canvasses reflections on what we have learned over the last 18 months, what advice we might offer each other, and what the future of practice might look like.
Sue describes the cultures and strategies of exemplar companies, who are “poster children for systems online that help teams collaborate and work”. Learning by osmosis is replaced by explicit systems and codified knowledge sharing. As Ilana emphasises, collaborating with distributed teams can be highly successful when there is “the right intention”.
The opportunities for positive change were not lost on our speakers, who speak about “not wasting a good crisis” and taking the leap if you’re not happy in your job. Emerging themes were the current buoyant job market, the opportunity for registration and upskilling, the importance of good mentoring and leaders who care, the liberation of going out on your own, and how “joyful” it can be to pause and contemplate the definition of meaningful work.
Full of positivity, energy and optimism, this session is well worth a look.
