Episode 450 - Gillian Stapleton - Marathons, Menopause, Running in Circles and the Boston Marathon

Gillian Stapleton is a renowned leader and has led multinational global organisations and Australian-based not-for-profits. An entrepreneur at heart, Gillian has run her own business, served on Boards and is passionate about empowering others, particularly women, to be the best they can be by finding their true passion and thriving.

Gillian has an infectious personality both on stage and in the boardroom. Goal-driven, Gillian has taken many risks in life, not least that of running her first marathon at the age of 49. Since then, she has completed 12 marathons (to date) and is a holder of the World Majors Marathon medal. The ripple effect of running on her life, how she overcame many challenges as a result, and the amazing friendships she has made are what Gill is most proud of.

When Gillian is not running, she now spends her time working with businesses, inspiring women to be the best version of themselves.

Episode 448 - Ben Eden - How We See Ourselves, How to Stop Quiet Quitting On Yourself

Ben Eden spent over seven years in HR, mostly in an HR executive role. He knows firsthand what you are going through in your career. As a highly successful HR executive, he helped run a global company with nearly 2,000 employees. Ben helped them grow the company as he went from HR Intern to the Leader of their Global HR department, building locations from the ground up around the world. Now, as an HR business coach, he leverages this extensive experience to help other businesses achieve their highest potential through his global talent HR consultancy.

During this time of fast business growth, Ben also graduated top of his class in his Bachelor’s program, and completed his Master’s degree in half the time required. He also became a Senior Certified Professional, all this while traveling the world opening new locations, training managers, and building teams.

Combining his education and personal experiences, Ben discovered areas of the HR profession that needed critical support. And that had him questioning — “Where is HR for HR professionals?” “Who can HR professionals turn to when laws are complex and changing, when employees need and demand so much, and when the management team expects you to have all the answers?” “Who can HR turn to when their wellbeing is at stake?”

From these questions and more, Ben began to realize he was doing more coaching and advising and also realized that each company and their situations are unique.

But there is one thing that always remains the same — you are a human trying to do your best in your role with what you’ve got to work with currently. Sometimes you need a safe place to turn where you can have your questions and concerns addressed, your fears and doubts resolved, and your confidence bolstered. That’s where HR professional coaching can help you avoid or recover from burnout, build resilience, confidence, and motivation. A place where you can be heard, understood, and directed effectively so that you show up doing and achieving your very best. Ben, as an HR business coach through his global talent HR consultancy, helps you bring the optimism back to your job.

Ben Eden’s speaks at HR Conferences around the globe and his specialty is coaching HR Professionals like yourself to Reach Your Ultimate Potential in both your personal and professional life.
