The Power Skills Project

In this episode of the Power Skills Project, Adam is joined by Dr Lalith Wijedoru, to discuss storytelling as part of the employee lifecycle.

Dr Wijedoru is an independent wellbeing consultant specialising in the use of personal storytelling in the workplace. His last NHS role was as a consultant in paediatric emergency medicine in Liverpool.

Lalith championed staff stories as a way to support NHS staff, winning the Staff Engagement Award at the Health Service Journal Awards, the Point of Care Foundation’s Schwartz Award for the Most Powerful Storytelling Round, and the HPMA Excellence in People Awards in Employee Engagement while working with Organisational Development at the children’s hospital.

In this brilliant interview, Lalith walks Adam through the different stages of the employee lifecycle and recommends practical ways to enhance the employee experience by utilising storytelling techniques. If you are in HR or are responsible for hiring, developing and retaining staff, this episode is a must-listen!

What is The Power Skills Project?

The Power Skills Project is a free podcast from Assemble You (https://assembleyou.com).

You may not have heard the term Power Skills before, but you’ve probably heard of soft skills.

We think Power Skills better acknowledges the importance and impact of things like leadership, resilience, productivity, and communication. The transferable superpowers that are some of the most valuable skills you can develop.

We’re all works in progress, and we want to improve ourselves and share our improvements with you - that’s why we chose to call this the Power Skills Project.

Every week, we discuss essential skills like active listening, motivating people, confidence, curiosity or dealing with change. We interview experts and practitioners across a myriad of industries and share their stories and learn from their experiences.

We'd love for you to drop by and listen in!
