In this second part of the BTN interview with Anique van Lent she replies to the question: “Can you train someone to have more Emotional Intelligence?” Anique says “Practice is power” and the EQ muscle can be trained to better at dealing with stress and how that can distract one’s attention from being present for others. With practice the beneficial application of EQ skills can move from conscious to ‘second nature’.
The second leading question for Anique was “How do you create a culture of self-awareness?” She is concerned that as everything speeds up there is no time for reflection. It should be the job of HR and L&D to work with leaders to establish sufficient time and space for self-reflection for all. The leaders can support the need for, and practice of, the type of ‘inner’ work that yields an increase in self-awareness which in turn gives identity and confidence to those who do the work.

In part 2 of this exclusive video series in partnership with @The BTN, @Terry Jones (Senior Director, Global Talent & Development at Palo Alto Networks) discusses ‘Employee Experience’ where he identifies what resources you need to ensure that you can create a unique experience for each employee.
In part 1 of this exclusive video series in partnership with @The BTN, @Terry Jones (Senior Director, Global Talent & Development at Palo Alto Networks) looks at ‘Employee Experience’ where he discusses what the main keys are to providing a successful and engaging employee experience.
In part 2 of this exclusive video series in partnership with @The BTN, Stefanie BrockstĂ€dt (Head of L&D at Berlin Brands Group) discusses âEmployee Experience/Engagementâ where she looks at what resources companies need to ensure they create a unique experience for each employee.
Stefanie then goes on to talk about what employee experience looks like to her which she explains is something that needs to start at the top and be decided as a company.
In this video Part 1 Stephanie Brockstadt, Head of Learning & Development at Berlin etc. is first asked the question “How can we ensure well-being is embedded within all aspects of employee experience?” The new generation of workers has shifted their priorities since covid and the war in Ukraine. They are looking for physical and mental stability. Certainly in Europe. So people are looking for a healthy style and a focus on looking after themselves. They view these things as more important than money. At the same time Stephanie says that providing benefits such as yoga and access to therapy can sometimes be ‘over engineered’ and expensive. Less costly to arrange is flexible working hours and hybrid locations even including working from other countries.
The next question is “Where does well-being start?” and Stephanie’s response is that it starts with the individual working on themselves. When one calms oneself it has a positive effect on others in the company as well as the self. And then, in Stephanie’s opinion, a great employee experience is only possible when everyone is included. For example, there are many different kinds of disabilities and leaders need to be sensitive and responsive to everyone’s individual circumstances. Ideally this should come naturally if the leader genuinely cares about others and is truly empathic.
In this second part of the interview with Sean Penistone, Former Head of L&D and Talent at Colt Technology Services, begins by answering the question: âWhat is your take on how the business landscape will look in 2030?â He describes how Colt has launched a hybrid working initiative giving people the freedom to choose where and how they work.
This is going well however Sean shares how difficult it is to build a corporate culture when everyone is not together in the same space. Much thought will be given to how to refine hybrid working over the next few years. Certainly Sean believes some kind of âcommunal spaceâ will have a role to play.
Then comes the question: âWhat do you think the style of a leader needs to be going forward?â Sean thinks that âmanagers need to be more generousâ, be more deliberate with giving feedback, and listen and include people more. Managers will need to develop the skill of facilitating meetings where some are not physically present. And he concludes by suggesting that we ALL will have to change to some degree in the future to successfully accommodate this âworkplaceâ.
