In our most recent All Things Change podcast we spoke with Jem Henderson, Head of Innovation at Crisis. At the time of recording, Jem was transitioning from her previous role as Entrepreneur Engagement Manager at Tech Nations to her new position at Crisis. Naturally, at this crossroad Jem had a lot of great insight to share about her experience of change which we enjoyed so much we couldn’t stop chatting or even edit down later; instead, we have split the conversation into two for you to enjoy the full conversation.
In part 2 of our All Things Change chat with Jem Henderson we dive straight into the topic of preconceptions, conscious and unconscious bias, and our personal responsibility to educate ourselves, learn, implement that learning and grow. We dig deeper into Jem's mind and plans for her new role in Crisis. Jem goes on to shares her song choice that best represents Change, and then we get into Terry Pratchett and Star Wars...we easily could have made a standalone podcast episode with Jem, Cloe & Shaun sharing their knowledge, opinion and rants on the books, tv adaptions and casting choices.
Such a great chat, thank you Jem.
