Shall I stay or should I go?
I am working my way through big decisions. Should I continue podcasting when I reach the tenth-anniversary next summer, or should I stop? How do I take the Shipping Podcast to the next level if I continue? There are so many things to consider moving forward.
I am strategising, so I haven't had time to make new interviews. I am talking about why this is happening now.
What do you think? Can you help me reach a decision?
Drop me an email at [email protected]I appreciate your patience.

A new way of looking at the workforce in shipping
A new way of looking at the people working in our organisations is to take a more human approach to work. Kriss Petersson is the Head of Talent and Culture at Aeler Technologies, not the Head of HR. Listen to Kriss explain how a more people—and culture-oriented mindset can change an entire industry.
She strives for diversity of thought and openness when scouting for new employees, but we must become more visible to attract young talent. We also need to listen to what the incoming generation seeks in an employer. Young people are looking for work flexibility, recognition, and professional development. Can we offer them that?
Thank you for listening. Feedback is welcome to [email protected]
