Episode notes

Suzanne talks to William Redpath, Director of Manabu Learning & Chapter Lead with Grow Remote Ireland.

They chat around the rapid evolution & benefits that hybrid & remote working can bring to employers, employees & communities as well as the effects of changing flexible workplace industry as a whole.

Here are some of the topics discussed:

• Learning & development, realising potential, unique skills & cultures
• His role as a Chapter Lead for Grow Remote-The magic & potential for remote working in Ireland
• The benefits of remote working for employers and employees
• The challenges of rolling out remote working more broadly
• Why younger generations are more keen to work remotely

William’s expertise is very much around learning & development and he comes at this from very creative angles, realising potential, unique skills & cultures that already exist and moving away from just focusing on 'plugging the gaps'. He uses an assets & strengths-based philosophy through digital games & simulations, quoting “We all have enormous potential it’s just about realising it.”

He’s also spent time in telecommunications, he’s a qualified community youth worker and facilitates learning and development through coaching & mentoring.
