My today’s guest is Debbie Goodman. Debbie is the Group CEO of Jack Hammer, a globally operating organization based in South Africa that specializes in executive search and placement, talent advisory, and leadership coaching. During the pandemic, Debbie managed to write and publish a book for leaders that lead nowadays mostly out of their living room, with a catchy title, hold on… "The Living Room Leader. Leadership Lessons for a hybrid future". Well, the title caught my attention so I reached out to Debbie and invited her to the show. Today we are going to talk about learnings from the pandemic and her book, why mental health issues are at a peak, and what patterns she recognizes looking at the future of talent acquisition and work.
