    #22 - Unleash Reflections and Burnout Realities
    May 12 2025
    In this episode of The Alder Hour, we're back in our home studios after a high-energy live week at the Unleash conference. Matt, Rhona, and Jocelyn reunite to reflect on their experiences from the event — from insightful sessions on AI, talent strategy, and DEI, to the buzz of live interviews and networking. Rhona explores the significance of free headshots at conferences as tools of empowerment and visibility, especially for underrepresented professionals. Jocelyn shares a troubling real-world hiring story that highlights persistent bias in recruitment, sparking a candid conversation on the importance of training and accountability for hiring managers. We also dive deep into the topic of burnout — especially among HR and TA professionals who often carry the emotional weight of supporting entire organizations while juggling creative side projects. The team explores how technology, always-on work culture, and content pressures contribute to fatigue, and why true rest (not just shifting focus) is critical. Plus, don’t miss our exclusive interview with Dr. Anna Tavis PhD, Department Chair of Human Capital Management at NYU, who discusses the evolving intersection of education, AI, and the future of work. She brings sharp insight into how learning systems are changing — and why personalization, flexibility, and curiosity will define success in tomorrow’s workforce.
