“Compassion is not conditional. It matters the most when you don’t have a natural connection with somebody.”
- Georgina Boulineau
Ten years ago, we weren’t talking much about vulnerability and compassion at work. Today, it’s part and parcel - especially when organizations and the people that make them work are all navigating huge waves of ongoing change such as mergers and acquisitions or technological transformations, and anxiety-provoking world events such as the Covid 19 pandemic, the war in Russia and runaway inflation. In today’s episode, my guest and I get grounded around what really matters.
My guest is Georgina Boulineau. Georgina is VP People and Culture at YIT, a leading provider of materials handling. Georgina was born in the suburbs of Paris, France and when people think about Paris they think about the city of light and how romantic it is but if you step outside of Paris and into the suburbs, it can be very dangerous and that's where all vulnerable diverse communities are located. Georgina lived in one of those diverse communities and, looking back, realized that this group of visible minorities had very limited opportunities because of a lot of discrimination around them. The opportunities were very limited in France even back then which is why her parents decided to leave the country. They chose Canada because they were looking for a safer, more welcoming and accepting community for their 3 kids. Georgina quickly found a genuine interest in people, wanting to find out about their stories and journeys. She started her career in Human Resources as an HR Coordinator and built a career in People & Culture from there.
