Here Comes Everyone by The Conference Bard
Originally called "Uncanceled & Unplugged" this podcast was conceived at the outset of the Covid crisis in North America. Being a conference designer I knew a lot of people who had expected to be speaking at events in the subsequent months having them canceled or postponed. So I launched the podcast to provide them with an alternative platform.In August, several months into the pandemic, it was clear that most event organizers had shifted to virtual events and no one was getting canceled anymore.So the podcast has now become "Here Comes Everyone". The name reflects the huge variety of guests we've had in the last few months and the intention to focus a bit more on issues of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.

Conversation on grief with Sarah Hines, Founder, A Meaningful Death
As the Covid 19 crisis continues so more and more people are experiencing grief and have colleagues, family members or friends grieving some loss. Whether it be the death of a loved one or some other loss such as financial security, health, job, status, the ability to travel or gather, grief has become ubiquitous.
There are few more important conversations right now than how we deal with grief in ourselves and others.
In this episode we continue an important dialogue about grief that we began in an earlier episode with Brenda Marshall. The focus here is firstly Sarah's belief that grief is not an emotion but a skill. From there we go on to discuss how to mark grief when we cannot gather, how each of us can improve how we address grief, and how as leaders and colleagues we can provide support and comfort to those we work with experiencing grief.
This is an ongoing conversation - each of us experiences grief differently. My hope is that Sarah's insights help you better understand your own grief and that of others - I know I gained new perspective through our conversation that will help me going forward.
