Paul Porter & Carolyn Hobdey join me on this episode of the Managers Against Inhumanity Podcast. Carolyn and Paul founded Be-ing Human@, and together with the team at the Farm Club, are building an in-person & virtual supportive and collaborative community. We talked about humanity, leadership and the work Carolyn and Paul are doing with the Farm Club including their new SIMPLE leadership framework.

Paul is an in-house or outsourced HR Director, who works with leaders and HR professionals to support them and their teams. Paul spent the first half of his career in hospitality before setting up his  HR consultancy in 2008. He works mainly with SME business owners to support their people and commercial growth. He's seen the good, bad & ugly of organisations and knows that a HUMAN approach will consistently deliver exceptional results.

Carolyn describes herself as a ‘Joyful Revolutionary’. She believes that by nurturing our individual joyful micro-cultures through attending to our mental and physical health, this collective positivity adds up to better workplace environments for everybody. With 25 years' HR experience, with a specialism in Change Management, Carolyn has worked in manufacturing, supply chain, retail and technology environments. Like Paul, she has seen a lot, not least how we overcomplicate people leadership. It’s why they have developed their SIMPLE framework based on their lived experience. Using SIMPLE, they create high-performing Corporate Athletes.
