#26 Marta Jakowluk – Passion for people
2023-03-16 12:06:00
Marta Jakowluk zajmuje stanowisko Chief People Officera w firmie Leroy Merlin. Pochodzi z Białegostoku i odkąd pamięta, chciała pomagać ludziom. Jej rodzice są lekarzami, ale nie zdecydowała się pójść w ich ślady, bo nie znosi widoku krwi. Wybrała zatem psychologię, którą studiowała na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim. Jeszcze w trakcie studiów rozpoczęła praktyki w jednej z prywatnych firm i - jak sama mówi - zakochała się w biznesie. Obecne stanowisko osiągnęła dzięki połączeniu wiedzy psychologicznej ze znajomością realiów gospodarczych.
Przez jedenaście lat pracowała w firmie Unilever, gdzie wiele się nauczyła i spotkała kilku mentorów. Następnie przeszła do UPC, a po dalszych sześciu latach pracy – do Leroy Merlin.
Moja rozmówczyni jest przekonana, że pion spraw ludzkich, zwany tradycyjnie pionem HR, musi być partnerem biznesowym pozostałych pionów i że dobry przywódca powinien znać zarówno język biznesu, jak i język HR.

#25 Ravin Jesuthasan – How to navigate in the world of work without jobs
2023-02-20 15:18:15
Ravin Jesuthasan is a renowned futurist, a member of World Economic Forum and a bestselling author of books on the future of work and human capital.
With a financial background, he has gained enormous and diversified professional experience, among others in strategy consulting and HR consulting. The future of work became his passion. In cooperation with John Boudreau, he wrote “Work without Jobs”.
He believes that relentless curiosity, the strive to learn more, look around corners, connect things learned in one domain with other can shape not only the future of work, but of the entire human life, and, last but not least, of businesses, which must learn to navigate the new reality, or else they will cease to exist.
In the podcast, my guest explains that change and discontinuity are natural elements of existence; and that we need to try to find out the direction of future changes and to adjust to them.

#22 Bartosz Dobrowolski – Going digital: what will happen to our offices?
2023-01-09 10:00:16
I am talking to Bartosz Dobrowolski, a co-founder of Proptech Foundation, a mentor and advisor in innovative real estate projects.
As a little kid he always wanted to know what was inside his toys and how they worked; during his early school years, he was fascinated with travel and adventure books, and later wanted to have his own chemical and physical lab. He ended up studying IT at Polish-Japanese Institute of Computer Technics. When he got his first job, he discovered that it was transformation and working with people he loved the most.

#21 Mateusz Gołembiewski – Leadership is about relationship
2022-12-05 12:37:52
I am talking to Mateusz Gołembiewski, HR Head for Poland, Central and Eastern Europe, JLL. His professional biography is quite unusual. He decided to study psychology but after several months realised that he would not like to become a therapist, so he moved to SWPS, a private university in Warsaw, where he majored in business psychology and got an internship in a HR consulting company specialised in outplacement (which means helping those laid off during restructuring or acquisition to get through the process and find new jobs). His first project involved the closing of a large factory located in a small village and finding new jobs for its employees, who had never before experienced looking for a job or writing a CV.
