The GHFC Podcast #25: ‘40 Years On - Andrew’s Story‘

This podcast is the first episode in a series of 10, each one representing the career paths taken by 10 fellow students having completed their initial Tertiary Qualifications in Quarry Engineering. In episode one we hear from Andrew. The objective behind the sharing of these stories simply being to provide some perspective to all current students, in any field, that the career choices they make today do not need to be life defining! Let me introduce you to ‘40 years on – reflections on life before, during and after Quarrying'.

GHFC Podcast #22 - ‘Workplace Toxicity and Corporate Culture in 2022’

In this podcast I am going to provide an image, not exactly a pleasant image, by no means gory or sexually explicit as seems to be the genre of the day, however extremely unpleasant all the same.

Then I will follow up with how Toxicity impacts on Corporate Culture in 2022.

I can guarantee the subject matter will be controversial and to some extent polarising…but it is what it is. Decide for yourself!

The GHFC Podcast #21 - To Be or Not To Be Polarising?

'Those of us involved in supporting the mental health well-being of our community, are well aware that we are in the midst of a mental health pandemic, by no means exclusive of the covid pandemic.'

'However, we are also aware that the construction sector is heavily impacted by a diminished level of mental health well-being among its workforce.'

'Finger pointing is always a cop out!'        'Ridicule is for the immature!'
