Podcasts about Action learning

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme "Five Stunning Realities of the Gospel. Our scripture reference was Mark 6:14-29. We had a great discussion on the power of conviction, especially through the Gospel. We are all convicted of something or by someone every day, but what are our actions? What is the power behind those actions? Pastor, speaker, and award-winning author, Max Lucado, helped us learn ways to tame our thoughts. His new book is called "Tame Your Thoughts: 3 Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life". We must guard our thoughts and weed out unhealthy thought patterns. It's vital to separate the present issue from the real issue. We also talked with Dr. Michael Rydelnik. He is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible at MBI. Dr. Rydelnik is the host of the radio program Open Line. Dr. Rydelnik (as well as Karl) will be speaking at The Summit on Israel and the Last Days Conference on November 8th at the Moody Bible Institute. He also shared his family history and testimony as a Jewish believer. You can listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Let us know!The CopDoc Podcast - Season 8 - Episode 155 What if the most powerful leadership tool isn't having all the answers, but asking the right questions? Dr. Michael Marquardt, after studying leaders across 50 countries for over five decades, discovered a surprising pattern—the greatest leaders in every field share one fundamental skill: they ask exceptional questions.In this thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Steve Morreale, Marquardt challenges traditional notions of leadership, particularly in policing where command-and-control approaches have dominated. Drawing from his extensive research and bestselling book "Leading with Questions," he explains how the simple act of inquiry can transform leadership effectiveness and organizational culture.For police leaders, the implications are profound. While officers excel at tactical questioning during investigations, leadership requires a different approach—one that uses open-ended questions to unlock creativity, build trust, and develop problem-solving capabilities throughout the organization. When leaders ask "What are you seeing?" or "How can we improve?" rather than issuing directives, they tap into collective intelligence and foster genuine engagement.Marquardt introduces the concept of "action learning"—reflecting on experiences to continuously improve—and explains how questioning creates learning organizations that adapt and thrive amid complexity. He offers practical strategies for leaders to shift their approach, acknowledging that great questions often don't yield immediate answers but trigger deeper thinking that leads to breakthrough insights.The conversation reveals how questioning is actually hardwired into human development—babies learn to walk and talk by asking subconscious questions—yet this natural learning approach gets suppressed in traditional organizations. By reclaiming the power of questions, leaders create psychologically safe environments where innovation flourishes and everyone contributes their best thinking.Whether you're a police executive, front-line supervisor, or aspiring leader in any field, this episode provides a masterclass in how to lead more effectively by embracing curiosity and inquiry. Learn how to ask better questions, create reflective practices, and build a culture where continuous improvement becomes the norm.Contact us: copdoc.podcast@gmail.com Website: www.copdocpodcast.comIf you'd like to arrange for facilitated training, or consulting, or talk about steps you might take to improve your leadership and help in your quest for promotion, contact Steve at stephen.morreale@gmail.com

Pour développer nos compétences, la présence des autres est essentielle. Toutefois, même si nos interlocuteurs sont compétents et bien intentionnés, cela ne garantit pas que leur soutien sera réellement efficace. Le codéveloppement s'avère un outil précieux, car il fournit une structure qui favorise l'apprentissage et assure l'atteinte des objectifs. Non seulement la personne coachée en retire des bénéfices, mais les collègues qui jouent le rôle de coachs en profitent également. Dans l'épisode 69, j'avais déjà abordé ce sujet de manière plus théorique avec Nathalie Sabourin. Cette fois, j'ai voulu expérimenter le codéveloppement en pratique en me plaçant dans la position du coaché lors d'une séance complète avec des collègues consultants-coachs. Mon objectif ? Travailler ma compétence en prospection. Pour structurer cet épisode, nous avons d'abord enregistré une séance de préparation, appelée aussi l'étape 0, avec Nathalie. Ensuite, nous avons réalisé une séance de codéveloppement, animée par Nathalie, où j'ai pris le rôle du coaché aux côtés de trois collègues coachs : Ghislaine Demers, Marie-Michèle Dugas et Julie Lajoie. Enfin, dans un second temps, Nathalie a sélectionné plusieurs extraits de ces enregistrements, que nous commentons ensemble dans le présent épisode en nous appuyant sur le livre Codevelopment Action Learning for Business, dont elle est l'une des co-auteures.

Episode Summary: In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly Watts tackles one of the most frequently asked questions: How long will it take to feel at peace with my relationship with alcohol? If you've ever wondered whether 12 weeks, 30 days, or a year of effort will be enough, Molly breaks down why the answer is both simpler and more complex than you might think.Key Takeaways:Mindset Shifts Alone Aren't Enough: While changing your thoughts about alcohol is critical, it's only one piece of the puzzle.The Missing Link is Action: Learning about alcohol, neuroscience, and habit formation won't create change unless you apply what you learn.Beware of Passive Action: Consuming content without implementation can make you feel like you're making progress when, in reality, you're staying stuck.The Formula for Change:Challenge and shift your alcohol core beliefs.Take consistent, imperfect action.Evaluate, adjust, and keep improving.Listener Challenge:This week, take at least one concrete action toward changing your drinking habits. That could be tracking your drinks, practicing an alcohol-free day, or reflecting on your core beliefs about alcohol.Resources Mentioned:Making Peace with Alcohol – Molly's signature online course and group coaching program.Proof Positive – One-on-one coaching for women ready to go deeper.Sunnyside App – A recommended tool for tracking and reducing alcohol consumption.Join the Conversation:Follow Molly on Instagram: @alcoholminimalistJoin the Alcohol Minimalists private Facebook group for additional support.Subscribe & Review: If you're enjoying the podcast, please consider leaving a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify—it helps more people discover the show!Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's episode of Superpowers for Good, Zufi Deo, co-founder of BizGees Ltd, shares how his social enterprise harnesses that passion to support post-conflict communities through a project called Arts for Refugees.The program collaborates closely with Gen Z, integrating their talents and perspectives into storytelling that shines a light on the lives and challenges faced by refugees. Zufi explained, “We work with 250 plus Gen Z. They create user-generated content for us, and then we share that publicly. So it's for Gen Z, by Gen Z, with Gen Z.”What makes Arts for Refugees unique is its multidimensional approach. Participants aren't just creating content; they are directly connected with the subject matter through hands-on learning experiences. “Tomorrow morning, for example, I'm onboarding 17 students from King's College, London, War Studies Department. They'll be trained as student journalists to write articles on post-conflict topics,” Zufi shared. These articles are often recorded as podcasts, offering a personal touch that highlights the deep connections these young writers have with their topics, especially for those with refugee backgrounds themselves.The initiative's work goes beyond raising awareness—it informs policymakers and influences strategic frameworks. For instance, BizGees shared insights with the Boston Consulting Group for a UNHCR report, showing the program's real-world impact.BizGees, a hybrid social enterprise, demonstrates how for-profit strategies can be leveraged to create sustainable social change, tapping into capitalism to fuel global impact. As Zufi put it, “We use a for-profit mechanism to achieve [social value]. That allows us to tap into the resources of capitalism... to meet everyone's needs economically, but also emotionally and socially.”Zufi's insights remind us of the power of peer-to-peer connection and the role young people play in reshaping narratives around refugees.tl;dr:* Empowering Gen Z for Social Impact: In this episode, Zufi Deo discusses how BizGees engages Gen Z to create user-generated content that raises awareness about post-conflict communities, fostering a unique "by Gen Z, for Gen Z" model of social involvement.* Building Passionate Communities: Zufi's superpower lies in his ability to unite people and inspire them to act on causes they believe in. He recounted organizing business mentorships in London to support thousands of entrepreneurs, highlighting the power of collective passion.* Human-Centric Engagement: A central theme in today's conversation was the emphasis on treating people as human beings, not numbers. Zufi shared that this approach, though more time-consuming and costly, leads to deeper connections and more impactful results.* Personal Stories to Drive Connection: The episode featured moving examples of individuals who, through Arts for Refugees, not only gained support but contributed their experiences to educate and inform others, illustrating the profound peer-to-peer learning model in action.* Social Enterprise for Sustainable Change: BizGees, described as a hybrid social enterprise, showcases how for-profit structures can be leveraged to support meaningful social outcomes, combining the resources of capitalism with a mission to foster global awareness and empathy.How to Develop Inspiring Collective Action As a SuperpowerZufi's superpower lies in his remarkable ability to bring people together and ignite their passion for causes that matter. This talent has allowed him to lead impactful initiatives and support individuals and groups toward achieving meaningful goals.In today's episode, Zufi highlighted how he discovered his superpower during his time in London, where he supported over 2,000 entrepreneurs over a decade by organizing teams of business mentors to guide them. He described how fostering an environment where people felt connected to a purpose and to each other was at the core of his work.An illustrative story that exemplifies Zufi's superpower involved a well-connected but struggling entrepreneur who had organized a group for women but couldn't find mentors. Zufi recounted, “She literally came to tears because she did not know what to do or where to go.” He and his team stepped in, mentoring the group monthly and teaching them how to find support, ultimately empowering them to take ownership and thrive.Zufi's approach for developing this superpower includes actionable tips:* See individuals as human beings with inherent value, not just numbers or names.* Dedicate time and resources to foster genuine, person-to-person connections.* Build small, manageable groups for better interaction and deeper engagement.* Embed empathy and respect in every interaction, even if it requires more time and effort.By following Zufi Deo's example and advice, you can make inspiring collective passion a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Chris Hewitt comes to The Coaching Inn to talk to Claire Pedrick MCC. He shares his journey to coaching and the importance of serving and listening to others. He discusses the challenges of creating a learning culture in organisations and the need for genuine coaching and supervision.    The conversation also touches on the power of action learning sets and the impact of truly being heard. Chris emphasises the importance of keeping the fixer mindset out of coaching and the value of deep listening. He hopes to continue serving and making a difference through his coaching work.   Takeaways Coaching is about serving and listening to others, rather than fixing or advising. Many organisations lack a learning culture and focus on compliance and productivity instead. Action learning Sets can provide a safe space for individuals to be heard and share their experiences. Creating a genuine coaching culture requires organisations to prioritise listening and learning. Deep listening is a powerful way to make others feel truly heard and understood.   Contact  Chris Hewitt chrishewitt@me.com Claire Pedrick info@3dcoaching.com   If you like this episode, subscribe or follow The Coaching Inn on your podcast platform to hear new episodes as they drop.  You  can watch this episode, with subtitles on our YouTube Channel Coming Up:  Next:  Power and Internal Coaching with Shruti Sonthalia Soon: Coaching and Neurodiversity with Nathan Whitbread and Kim Witten    Key Words coaching, serving, listening, learning culture, action learning sets, fixer mindset

This after action has been past due.  Part of the delay was I spent some time dialing in questions with family and friends, checking in to see if they ever had something they wanted to know but didn't ask.  This research is still on going yet I wanted to get this out.  My original thought was having it be about this topic, where she mentioned not knowing what to ask her husband after a deployment.  The 3rd time listening to it though a new aha hit me.  Her comment about uncertainty was very similar to Rod Hairston's mention of the same thing.  This coloration between two people that don't know each other needed to be discussed.Check out Laura's Episode # 40. Laura Torbett is a military spouse and mother of two who is well-versed in deployments, overseas tours, and supporting active duty service members at home and abroad.

Ever wondered why the state in China is so powerful? Yasheng argues that Keju — the Imperial civil service examination — has historically maximized a specific type of knowledge in the minds of the population such as memorization. It also reduced the scope of, or eliminated, alternative ideas. Keju made the state all powerful. The state was able to monopolize the very best of human capital. And in doing so, the state deprived society access to talent and pre-empted organized religion, commerce, and intelligentsia. While it is China's blessing, Keju is also a curse as it decimated society.Yasheng Huang is a Professor of International Management and Faculty Director of Action Learning at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His forthcoming book, which will be published by Yale University Press, is The Rise and the Fall of the EAST: Examination, Autocracy, Stability and Technology in Chinese History and Today.

Discover all you need to know about MIT Sloan's MBA program [Show Summary] MIT Sloan is one of the magic M7 MBA programs, and its Assistant Dean, Dawna Levenson, shares everything applicants aiming for acceptance should know.  Interview with Dawna Levenson, Assistant Dean at MIT Sloan School of Management [Show Notes] Welcome to the 498th episode of Admissions Straight Talk, Accepted's podcast. Thanks for tuning in. Are you ready to apply to your dream MBA programs? Are you competitive at your target schools? Accepted's MBA admissions quiz can give you a quick reality check. Just go to accepted.com/mbaquiz, complete the quiz, and you'll not only get an assessment, but also tips on how to improve your qualifications. Plus, it's all free.  It gives me great pleasure to have back on Admissions Straight Talk, Dawna Levenson, Assistant Dean at MIT Sloan School of Management. Dawna earned her bachelor's and master's in Management Science at MIT Sloan, became a partner at Accenture, and then returned to MIT Sloan in 2007 as Associate Director of Academic Programs. She moved into Admissions in 2012 and became Director of Admissions in 2013 and Assistant Dean in 2018.  Can you give us an overview of the MIT Sloan Full-Time MBA program for those listeners who aren't that familiar with it? [2:07] Absolutely. I think I would begin with class size. Our two-year MBA has a class size of roughly 410. You may have some friends who just graduated in the past year or so, and their class size was slightly bigger. That's a result of the pandemic when there was a fair amount of uncertainty, and we actually grew the class size in 2020. However, it was never intended for that to be permanent, and so we have slowly worked our way back down. Fundamentally, the class that just matriculated, and moving forward, will be approximately 410.  We have a one-semester core and then three semesters to really shape the curriculum as you see fit based on your interests. As much as you as a student have flexibility in terms of your classes and shaping that, our faculty have a lot of flexibility, too, in terms of how they teach. Your classes will be a combination of traditional lectures and problem sets, as well as a lot of project-based classes. We have a subset of these project-based classes that are called our Action Learning labs, where you are either on a particular subject matter or focused on a certain geography and working as part of a team to solve a real problem for a real company and make recommendations to them at the end of the project. hbspt.cta.load(58291, '9bb31be0-3cf6-45f0-be3d-3791cc1bd9bd', {}); Are you seeing any trends in terms of hiring? Where do MIT Sloan MBA grads get jobs? [3:42] We just recently published our 2022-2023 employment report, so these numbers are right off of that. For students who graduated in 2022 seeking employment, 31.2% of them went into consulting, 22.6% went into finance, and 22.6% went into technology. An additional 6.8% went into pharma, healthcare, and biotech. It's a good spread. What's a little misleading is some may have gone into consulting, but they're focused on the tech industry. So, keep that in mind. Can you explain the optional core electives? [5:02] Our two-year MBA students spend their first semester taking core classes. You're actually part of a cohort of somewhere between 65 and 70 students who you're taking all of your classes with. You're also assigned to be part of a core team of six or seven people where you're actually doing all of your work together. In addition to your core set of classes, you also have the option to take one additional elective. You can choose from marketing, finance, strategy, or operations for that additional elective. What are the core requirements? [5:48] They include microeconomics, DMD, which is data models and decisions, accounting, and communications.  What are the tracks and certificates that MIT Sloan offers?

As an advocate, leader, and servant of any community, especially communities committed to Race-centered change processes, it can be easy to get lost in all the noise. This work isn't easy, and often we show up as flawed, human, and influenced by our own pain and need for change, justice, and equity. We can sometimes get so embroiled in the politics of accolades, salary, and being at the forefront of technological progress that we forget what should be at the center of racial justice work: Empathy. In the face of past and present patterns of white oppression, it isn't easy to lead with love. The weight of the racial injustice and dehumanization that has been meted out to certain communities is enough to make you want to holler! So how do we begin the ten thousand-mile journey to doing this work and centering racial equity in our work and our day-to-day lives?  Today's guest offers us a simple answer to meditate on: Do the best that you can to be as real and authentic as possible, lead with love and empathy.On today's episode of The R.A.C.E Podcast, I am joined by an amazing thought leader and provocateur: Nathaniel Smith of the Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE). Join Nathaniel and I for a riveting and re-affirming conversation on empathy and how it is the cornerstone of racial equity work. Tune in to hear more about why it is vital that we keep running this race, the significance of connecting with the heart for a purpose-driven life, and why it is more important to focus on our assignment than our accolades.Meet Nathaniel Smith:Nathaniel Smith is the Founder and Chief Equity Officer at the Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE), an Atlanta based organization involved in race-centered change processes in the American South. Through utilizing an equity agenda, PSE aims to address the inequities in our communities so prosperity can be created and shared by all. They believe that there are groups that have much more support systems and resources that enable their success, while others are forced to rely on more uncertain circumstances in under-resourced communities. Therefore, PSE works to advance just outcomes that are sensitive to the needs and circumstances of the populations in question – erasing the barriers that stand in the way for everyone to succeed.Among PSE's notable accomplishments was the creation of the American South's first equity mapping and framing tool, the Metro Atlanta Equity Atlas, and co-authoring numerous reports ,including: “Growing the Future: The Case for Economic Inclusion in Metropolitan Atlanta”, and “Employment Equity: Putting Georgia on the Path to Inclusive Prosperity.” PSE also led a coalition of diverse stakeholders to support a $13 million transit referendum that expanded Atlanta's metropolitan transit system into a new county for the first time in 45 years. Smith's advocacy activities were instrumental in the ratification of a 15 percent set aside of Atlanta Beltline Tax Allocation District (TAD) dollars for the development and maintenance of affordable workforce housing within the Atlanta BeltLine Planning Area - $250 million dollars over the 25-year lifespan of the Atlanta BeltLine TAD.As a child of the South, Mr. Smith believes his Southern heritage is a critical part of his existence. Influenced by a legacy of struggle, resilience, relationships, and faith, his upbringing allows him to center community in his work and life. As a firm believer that all one has are his deeds and that the work of centering racial equity is his spiritual assignment, Nathaniel Smith is a man that walks his walk and goes against the status quo. Raised by parents that were a part of the civil rights movement, Nathaniel bore witness to everyday people giving themselves to the fight against racial injustice. This motivated him to do two things: honor our ancestors by continuing to do the work of racial equity and creat

This episode was a lot of fun. I had the chance to speak with the 2022 CLC champs from Johnson Country Community College (JCCC). I talked to JCCC's coaches Cassie Fulk and Carson Couch, and several team members - Yassin, James, Rick, Mila, and Kristin! We talked about their experience, some key learnings, and their thoughts on teaming.What is the CLC?Collegiate Leadership Competition (CLC), a nonprofit founded in 2015, creates a practice field where students can actively apply what they learn. We believe that leadership can be learned. With practice, our participants develop knowledge, build skill, and learn with other like-minded teammates who are passionate about leadership. CLC's curriculum explores the attributes of effective leaders, leadership/followership styles, creative problem solving, influencing others, navigating difficult conversations, conflict resolution, ethical decision making, stressors, and effective teaming.Colleges and universities identify a coach and recruit teams of six students. Any student interested in practicing leadership is welcome. Each team member leads one challenge at the competition and receives extensive feedback based on their performance.Academic Journal Articles about the Collegiate Leadership CompetitionCompetitive Team Environments and Student Leader Capacity GrowthExploring Deliberate Practice & the Use of Skill Sheets in the Collegiate Leadership Competition Competition As Leadership Pedagogy: An Initial Analysis of the Collegiate Leadership CompetitionCollegiate Leadership Competition: An Opportunity for Deliberate Practice on the Road to ExpertiseReflections on How Learning in Other Domains Inform Our Approach to Coaching LeadershipOther Phronesis Episodes About the Collegiate Leadership Competition.Ep. 56 - Bela Jevtovic & Dr. Dan Jenkins - The Collegiate Leadership CompetitionEp.57 - Meghan Pickett & Dr. Bruce DeRuntz - Coaching a Leadership Team (Online)Ep. 58 - Dr. Kaitlin Wolfert - The Influence of Action Learning, Coaching, and Intrapersonal Reflection on Individual ResilienceEp.59 - Meg U'Ren, Ashley Li, & Allison White - Leaders Developing Leaders at Western UniversityEp. 61 - Team Blue Hens - A Chat with the CLC Champs (2021)About The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals with a keen interest in the study, practice, and teaching of leadership.

You'll want to take notes on this apocalyptic chat as it is full of comparative ideas and resources to explore. Dr. Zabiegalski began his interest in human dynamics and questioning how we work together better from his own quest for such. His experience and expertise at high-level consulting and strategic management offers another perspective of how business and human interaction evolve. The development of the learning organization philosophy from Senge's work as well as Tom Campbell. Eric speaks of feeling like an imposter as a right-brained thinking in a left-brained world. How is this an important aspect of how we distinguish between our emotional/intellectual 'home room' and what we need to do for the greater good? How do you perceive 'exploitation' and 'exploration' as processes in your business or life? Eric has explored research and personal experience in developing an understanding of the 'ambidextrous organization.' Ever heard of the corpus collasum? The conversation about it will expand your view of how our brains work. The exploration of masculine and feminine cranial comparison is exquisite. What about the outlier aspects in functionality? How do we embrace and engage diversity? Are we missing the benefit of minds we've considered to be on the fringe of cognitive abilities? How do you surf the perfect wave in your quest for balance and functionality, let alone survival and thrivability in the world? Where is your attitude toward divergent thinking - diversity and learning development - that balance of what matters. How do you acknowledge the 're-union' of genders in a movement toward balance? You don't often hear a strategist and senior consultant speak toward energy and quantum physics, let alone the aspects of human dynamics in emotional and intellectual performance. Can these ideas, notions and practical applications help us in creating the 'great weset' or 'new normal' in this transcendent event period now. How comfortable are you in ambiguity? Our conversation evolves into the nature of asking questions. Eric's status as certified coach and board member of the World Institute for Action Learning provides great insight and understanding into developing questions that lead us to solutions across a plethora of practical applications. You'll enjoy the applicable advances in the conversation on the rise of the ambidextrous organization and the ability of empowering the self-alignment of people, places and things. Is there 'One Energy' that drives our bus and our choices are what manages the manifestation of flow in our lives? If you've wondered about the nature of consciousness and the magic of observing, connecting and implementing better application of your internal software, Eric has a wonderful expression of an overview of our cranial activity that's gotten us to this state of our evolution. How do we proceed? Listen in to our exploration for keen insight and paradigm shifting moments. Thanks for your view and for further information on Eric and his work...
