While it touches on heartbreaking events, it ultimately offers a powerful message of healing, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. Recorded live at Tony and Sage Robbins' 2024 Platinum Partners Happiness event, this raw and deeply emotional conversation features best-selling author Jeffrey Olsen (Knowing, Where Are You?). Jeff shares a journey few could imagine — after a devastating car crash that claimed the lives of his wife and youngest son and left him critically injured, he was plunged into unimaginable grief. But through 18 surgeries, profound out-of-body experiences, and a powerful spiritual awakening, Jeff discovered what it truly means to live again. In this intimate interview, Jeff opens-up about his near-death experience and the clarity it revealed—offering profound insights into who we are, why we're here, and what truly matters. His story is a testament to the fact that even in our darkest moments, light, love, and purpose are still possible. In the second half of this episode, Jeff is joined by fellow NDE survivor, author, and artist Nancy Rynes for a heartfelt audience Q&A. Their conversation offers comfort and connection to anyone navigating grief, trauma, or a deeper spiritual search. Whether you're healing from loss, curious about life after death, or simply seeking hope—this conversation will stay with you.

Accenture just rebranded its core services as "Reinvention Services." But is this just corporate posturing or a sign of something bigger happening in professional services? First, Pete Buer returns with a breakdown of the business impact of Accenture's move. He asks: Is AI finally becoming an operating system for enterprises, not just a toolkit? He dives into how Accenture's internal reorganization reflects broader pressures in the consulting industry, including margin compression, commoditization, and the urgent need to differentiate. Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by Knownwell CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to further unpack the implications of Accenture's bold repositioning. They explore why this move might signal a shift from episodic transformation to continuous reinvention and how smaller firms can adapt and stay relevant. David shares how positioning—not just performance—is now critical for service firms trying to escape the zero-sum game. Mohan offers a grounded analysis of how AI collapses silos and demands a rethinking of not just tools, but organizational architecture. If your business is still treating AI as a “next quarter” concern, this episode is your wake-up call. Visit Knownwell.com to see how your own company's data could be working harder for you.

In this episode of the AI Leaders Podcast, Sen Ramani, Global Lead for Data and AI at Accenture, sits down with Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of Snowflake, for a dynamic conversation on the evolving role of data and AI in enterprise transformation.

Uncharted Conversations facilitates unscripted and controversial discussions aimed at disrupting the infrastructure industry. In the face of major skills shortages affecting Canada's major programmes, Riccardo sits down with David Ho, the National Leader for Healthcare and Buildings at Accenture. What begins as a look at the skill-based industry shortcomings transforms into a nuanced conversation about cultural, structural, and leadership challenges.Is the talent shortage just about trades and technical labour, or are we also seeing a void in leadership and bold thinking? Together, David and Riccardo dig into why the industry struggles to innovate, what it would take to truly break from tradition, and how a fear-based approach to risk weakens even the most capable leaders. They explore how changing political priorities, unclear project outcomes, and resistance to outside ideas further complicate the path forward.This conversation challenges long-held assumptions and invites anyone involved at every stage of the infrastructure delivery lifecycle to have the kinds of discussions that, David and Riccardo argue, are essential to carrying the industry into the future.Key Takeaways:Current labour shortages may be overshadowed by a systematically hindered approach to leadership.The shift of project outcomes over time, while often unavoidable, creates missed opportunities for the implementation of new technologies.Fear of risk is an intrinsic part of the industry's culture, discouraging first movers and stifling the bold leadership required for innovation.Venture capital constraints and razor-thin contractor margins leave little room for research and development.Remote and underserved communities could be catalysts for innovation—if approached with intention.How a uniqueness bias prompts us to reject international approaches that could help Canada adapt and improve.Quote: “I encounter lots of different infrastructure leaders and usually conversations where  these individuals are reflecting on their own organizations or on other  organizations. Somewhere  within the diagnosis is a problem of disempowerment.  And  that when people and leaders are not truly empowered, they fail to live up to what are their on paper accountabilities. And lack of empowerment at all different  levels of leadership causes people to put the blinders on, work in their silo and  become content or comfortable being told what to do. And ​that ​is ​the ​sort ​of ​exact ​​opposite ​type ​of ​outcome ​and ​behaviour ​we ​want ​from leaders.” - David HoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes - https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Read Riccardo's latest at http://www.riccardocosentino.comFollow David Ho - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtho-ontario/Listen to Riccardo's interview with Alice of Brick & Mortar Ventures at https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/construction-technology-and-the-importance/id1683413407?i=1000709879402 Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

After graduating, he was hired by IBM for a full-time position, negotiating licensing and sale agreements. Dennis then served as counsel at Accenture, advising the Communications & High Tech and Financial Services Market Units.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing some of the recent activity on LiveWire, which includes a little movement on wait lists. We then continued our discussion on the recent U.S. Government decisions as they pertain to international MBA students; visa interviews are now available again. No doubt this whole situation is causing great anxiety. Graham highlighted Clear Admit's new summer series of webinars, which focuses on top MBA programs' admissions essays, which will be attended by more than 20 of the top MBA programs. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/mbaessay0725 Graham then noted two new articles, posted on Clear Admit, regarding Chicago / Booth. The first addresses a generous donation for their health care focus, the second addresses an entrepreneurial contest which awarded more than $2 million to the top 10 finalists. Graham also highlighted three admissions tips that focus on addressing gaps in unemployment, and two “myth busters” that dispel the notions that you need to have experience in finance or consulting to apply for a top MBA, or that you need perfect test scores for the very top MBA programs. We continue our new series of Adcom Q&As, which is a yearly series where we interview the admissions leaders at all the top MBA programs; this week we have Q&As from Washington / Foster, Cambridge / Judge, and Michigan State / Broad. Finally, Graham highlighted two Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from Emory / Goizueta working at BCG, and Duke / Fuqua working at Accenture. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry. This week's first MBA admissions candidate has two years of work experience to date and is originally from Japan. They have yet to complete the GMAT test. This week's second MBA candidate has five years of experience with a GRE of 326. We believe their overall profile is very strong, but we discussed the merits of retaking the GRE. The final MBA candidate is deciding between London Business School and INSEAD. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

What if happiness wasn't just a fleeting feeling, but our natural state of being? In this powerful and heart-opening session, Sister Shivani, Brahma Kumaris Spiritual Teacher and host of “Happiness Unlimited,” shares a deeply transformative message from Tony and Sage Robbins' 2024 Date with Destiny stage in Abu Dhabi—a spiritual wake-up call to reclaim your inner power, master your thoughts, and become a radiant force of healing energy in the world. Through her wisdom, you'll discover that happiness is not just a personal pursuit—it's a karmic responsibility—and that we can raise our vibration moment by moment to not only transform ourselves, but to help heal the world. Sister Shivani explores the three pillars of personal power, with a special emphasis on the power to forgive and let go, and reveals how our thoughts, intentions, words, and behaviors ultimately shape our destiny. She breaks down what true karma means—and how to align it with love—while offering a powerful invitation to live happy and leave happy by mastering your inner world. Above all, she reminds us: no one outside of us has the power to disturb our peace—unless we give it away. This talk offers a clear, soulful understanding of how to create happiness from within, no matter what life brings.   Website: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ Tony Robbins is a #1 New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the nation's #1 Life and Business Strategist.
