Connor Conversations

In this episode of Connor Conversations we are incredibly fortunate to speak to Steve Brown - Paralympian captain, wheelchair rugby player, television presenter, public speaker, and coach. We discuss Steve's incredible journey, how he overcame adversity, how he has successfully pivoted his career, and how he has made the most of the many transferable skills he has built up over his amazing career. A truly inspiring story.

In this episode of Connor Conversations we speak to Bill Banham, Editor at HR Gazette, Host of the popular HRchat Podcast, Associate Editorial Director of HRreview, and co-host of DisruptHR London. Bill provides his unique perspective on HR, his hopes for HR in 2023 and the opportunities that exist for today's HR leaders.

In this episode of Connor Conversations our Director of Organisational Change and HR Services, Steve Foulger, speaks with Birmingham born artist Carrick Siddell, following the release of the Birmingham Art Book for which Carrick is one of the selected artists. It completes our trio of podcasts on successful people from in and around Birmingham. Instead of sport being the link in to the business world, in this episode we use the world of art as our canvas to explore a key concept in successful businesses – organisational design. To get there we explore what a business design looks like for one person, we talk about areas they may want to consider to be successful and we get under the skin of areas that may not appear as important as commercials, but ultimately will determine if the business survives or ideally thrives.

We kicked off the Commonwealth games with a podcast all about Birmingham’s own Nick Baxter, his experiences of being a trail blazer for Rugby Sevens and how competing in the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpar in 1998 gave him such a great platform. Today, we mark the close of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Birmingham you did us proud. And so did one of its home-grown talents. Our guest for this episode, Myles Hesson, Professional basketball player, Globetrotter, Trend-setter and Gold medallist at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth games.
