Does tech negatively impact conversations?
This week on the show we explore the connectivity between Recruitment and Executive Coaching with our guest, Sehaam Cyrene. Sehaam works with senior executives and teams to âunblock the blockagesâ and help them âget past the misunderstandingsâ that can result in missed deadlines.
Prior to founding Paper Tuner, Sehaam worked for talent management consultancies which covered areas such as psychology, psycholinguistics, behavioural economics, assessments and growth planning. Now as an Executive Coach and host of the Better Conversations podcast, she helps executives and teams improve communication, learn about how to effectively influence and move past conflict.
She describes what she does now as âthe other sideâ of what we do in recruitment as she sees how people are,
âSettling into organisations and their teamsâ and âhow they are making connections.â
The limitations of old structures
On the show, Sehaam talks about how collaboration tools have their limitations as she tells us,
âIf your culture is in a bad place, tech is only going to amplify the problem.â
Furthermore, she highlights the importance of communication as the boundaries between roles are blurred as âroles are evolving rapidlyâ.
Discussing the subject of interview conversations, she thinks there is an âover reliance on old structures for a new way of workingâ and this creates a âdisconnect.â She encourages Hiring Managers to talk to their team members as they âwill have a lot of opinions on what they need in the teamâ as she warns that the âeasiest option is to reach for the last job description and push that out.â
If that wasn’t enough, below you’ll hear Sehaam talk about:-
- Generational conflict resolution techniques
- Team input into job specifications
- Collaboration tools and your culture
- Using active listening and intuition to make people decisions
- Mentally preparing for interview conversations
- Preparing for better conversations
