Success Leaves Clues with Robin Bailey and Al McDonald · 2025-12-18 · 30 min
In this episode of Success Leaves Clues , hosts Robin and Al are joined by Naomi Titleman, Co-Founder of future foHRward and former CHRO of American Express Canada, for a deeply thoughtful conversation about leadership, HR, and what it truly means to make work better in today’s complex world. Naomi shares her journey from consulting at Deloitte to senior HR leadership at American Express, and eventually to building future foHRward, a consultancy and community dedicated to empowering HR leaders to lead with empathy, curiosity, and courage. She offers a refreshingly human perspective on HR’s evolving role, explaining why the function is no longer about policy and gatekeeping, but about supercharging human performance. Together, they explore the realities of modern leadership, including the loneliness of senior HR roles, the tension between flexibility and productivity, and why culture lives or dies through day-to-day leadership behavior. Naomi also dives into how AI can free HR leaders from administrative overload, allowing them to focus more deeply on people, relationships, and critical thinking.
