In today\\u2019s episode, I chat with Tadiwa Muradzikwa, an Ottawa, Canada-based HR professional with experience on 4 continents, including memorable stops in Zimbabwe, Liberia, Malaysia, Germany, the United States and Canada. He holds a Doctor of Social Science degree, a Master of Science degree in HR Management & Training from the University of Leicester, and an MBA from Mancosa in South Africa.\\xa0

Throughout each of our lifetimes, this world serves as the backdrop for some truly remarkable events. Some are triumphant, while others are tragic. What binds them are the people who bear witness to the best and worst of humanity.

Tadiwa is one such individual, having supported United Nations\\u2019 talent strategies that among other accomplishments, underpinned relief efforts during Haiti\\u2019s earthquake in 2010, assured civility in the 2014 Afghan elections, and were instrumental in the rebuilding of Liberia, a country torn apart by 14 years of civil war.\\xa0

We began our conversation as we do each week, with Tadiwa\\u2019s own words, as he shared the story of his professional journey to date. I was curious to learn why he chose this particular path, the challenges he faced, and lessons learned along the way.\\xa0

What does the day-in-the-life of a talent professional charged with assuring the right people are present in some of our darkest hours? How does the United Nations approach their broader talent strategy? And what experiences, conditions and realities do those of us who work in more-developed countries take for granted?

Among all the other selfish benefits I receive from hosting this show, learning from my guests is at the top. And boy did I learn a lot from Tadiwa in our short time together. Beyond that, I had a lot of fun, and hope you enjoy our conversation, as much as I did recording it.
