Summary Leaders can easily assume they have stronger relationships with employees than employees themselves experience. New research shows that this mismatch can reduce psychological safety and make people less likely to speak up. This episode looks at how leaders can test their assumptions and make it easier for people to raise concerns.   Transcript Hello and welcome to episode 239 of the Leadership Today podcast, where each week we share practical tips to improve your leadership. This week we look at how leaders and their teams rate the quality of their relationships, and the impact on whether people feel confident to speak up. Most leaders think they have a pretty clear view about the relationships they have with people in their team.  The problem is that relationships involve two people, and the other person may not see things in quite the same way. A recent study looked at leader-member relationships from both sides. The researchers collected data from 496 employees and 139 leaders and examined how closely leaders and employees agreed about the quality of their relationship. They then looked at psychological safety and whether employees were willing to speak up with ideas, concerns and suggestions. As you might expect, relationships were strongest when both the leader and employee saw them positively. But the more interesting finding was what happened when the leader rated the relationship more positively than the employee did. In those situations, psychological safety was particularly low. Leaders can easily overestimate how safe they are to talk to. We know our own intentions. We know that we want people to raise concerns and challenge our thinking. But employees are making a different judgement. They're trying to work out what is likely to happen if they disagree, raise a problem or tell us something we don't really want to hear. A leader might think, "My door is always open", while an employee is thinking, "Yes, but I'm not sure how they'll respond if I tell them the project isn't working". Those two people are describing the same relationship very differently. The challenge is that leaders who think the relationship is already strong may not do much to improve it. If someone rarely disagrees with us, we can interpret that as evidence that everything is going well, when it may simply mean they're being cautious. One useful thing to do is look for behavioural evidence rather than relying on your own sense of the relationship. Does the person ever disagree with you? Do they bring you bad news early? Do they raise concerns before they become problems? Do they offer a different view when you've already expressed a preference? You can also make it easier for people to tell you how the relationship is working for them. Rather than asking, "Is everything okay?", which will usually produce "yes", try something more specific. You might ask, "What could I do that would make it easier for you to raise concerns with me?" or "Is there anything I do that makes it harder for you to disagree?" Of course, asking the question is only useful if you respond well to the answer. If someone takes a risk and gives you feedback, becoming defensive teaches them something very quickly about how safe the relationship really is. Leaders don't get to decide on their own whether a relationship is strong. What matters is how both people experience it. So this week, think about someone in your team you believe you have a very good relationship with. Then ask yourself a slightly uncomfortable question: what evidence do I have that they would describe it the same way? Thanks for listening, and I look forward to speaking with you again next week.   Research: Pahng, P. H., Fuller, R., Kwak, J. S., & Kang, S. M. (2026).

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOWhat if ghosts aren't lost souls, demons, or entities trying to communicate with the living? Paranormal researcher Aaron G. Thompson believes some of our most basic assumptions about hauntings may be wrong.His theory, known as Echo Terrestrial Quantum Mechanics, looks at paranormal activity through a very different lens. Instead of intentional spirit interaction, could some hauntings be energetic echoes, fluctuations, or overlaps involving dimensions we don't yet understand? It could offer another way to look at why certain locations remain active for generations, why the same phenomena seem to repeat, and why some encounters appear to follow recognizable patterns.It's a theory that moves the conversation away from simply asking who is haunting a location and toward a much bigger question: what if the paranormal is part of a natural process we haven't learned how to explain?Today on The Grave Talks, are ghosts really what we think they are?

Summary The better we become at something, the harder it can be to remember what it was like not to know. New research shows that experts give more useful and actionable advice when they reconnect with their own experience as beginners. This episode explores a simple way leaders can become better coaches and teachers.   Transcript Hello and welcome to episode 238 of the Leadership Today podcast, where each week we share practical tips to improve your leadership. This week we look at a challenge that comes with becoming more experienced: the better we become at something, the harder it can be to explain it to someone who's just starting out. Think about something you've done hundreds or perhaps thousands of times. It might be running a meeting, preparing a report, handling a difficult customer, using a particular system or having a performance conversation. After enough practice, many of the steps become almost automatic. You don't consciously think about everything you're doing because you've built up knowledge and patterns that allow you to work quickly. That's usually a good thing, but it creates a challenge when someone less experienced asks us for advice. We can forget what it was like not to know what we now know. A new study published in the Academy of Management Journal explores this problem. The research looked at what happens when experts reconnect with what they call a beginner's mind. Rather than simply remembering an event from the past, people were encouraged to mentally revisit what it actually felt like to be a novice in that particular area. Across studies involving managers and musicians, taking on a beginner's mind made a difference to the advice experts provided. When experienced people reconnected with their former beginner state, their advice became more concrete. And importantly, the novices receiving that advice rated it as more useful and were more willing to act on it. It helps explain something we see constantly at work. An experienced leader might tell a new supervisor, "You just need to have a clear conversation and hold them accountable." That sounds perfectly sensible to someone who has handled dozens of performance conversations. But the new leader may still be wondering: How do I actually start the conversation? What words do I use? What happens if they become defensive? What should I prepare beforehand? Expertise compresses all of those little steps. Once something feels obvious to us, we stop mentioning the things that no longer require conscious thought. That's why telling someone to "communicate more effectively", "delegate properly" or "think strategically" often isn't particularly helpful. The advice describes the destination without helping the person with the journey. There are three practical ways leaders can use this research. First, before giving advice, briefly remember your own first attempt. Think back to when you genuinely didn't know what to do. What were you worried about? What confused you? What did you misunderstand? What would you have wanted someone to tell you at that point? That mental exercise may help you notice assumptions that your expertise now hides from you. Second, make your advice behavioural. Instead of saying, "You need to delegate more", describe what the person could actually do. You might say, "Choose one task this week, explain the outcome you're looking for, ask the person how they would approach it, agree when you'll check in, and resist taking the task back unless there's a genuine risk." Concrete advice is easier to act on. Third, check what the other person already knows. Before launching into an explanation, ask, "What have you tried so far?" or "Talk me through how you'd approach it." That helps you pitch your advice at the right level and also encourages the other person to think rather than simply waiting for your answer. Expertise doesn't automatically make us good teachers or coaches. In fact, expertise can sometimes get in the way because it makes the difficult look obvious. Great leaders benefit from traveling back to their own beginning so they can help someone else move forward.   Reference Zhang, T. (2026).

Newcastle are through to the third round with the managers first competitive win in the dugout against a surprisingly tough Championship opposition in West Brom. Charlotte was the host late on Wednesday evening, straight after the game, joined by Adam W and Si to revel in another high scoring game at SJP just 4 days after the last one. LOTS of positives to take from this evening: - a chance to see some new players, including the unveiling of Nico Gonzalez just before the game! - through in the cup that we never seem to get knocked out of. - some decisions for the manager to make ahead of the weekend with more impressive performances from the new lads (and the new versions of Wissa and Elanga) - AND of course, a brace from Barnes off the bench.

This is your morning All Local update for Wednesday, August 26th, 2026.

It is easy to say you would never fall for a scam when you are looking at the situation from the outside. In the moment, though, things can feel much less obvious. A request may sound reasonable, the person may seem trustworthy, and saying no can feel awkward enough that you go along with something you would normally question. Today's guest studies exactly why that happens. Vanessa Bohns is the Bronstein Family Professor and Chair of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University's ILR School. Her work focuses on social influence, compliance, and the pressure people feel to cooperate, even when they are uncomfortable with what they are being asked to do. Vanessa shares several experiments that show just how strong that pressure can be. People agreed to write in library books and even handed over their unlocked phones. She explains why it can be tougher to refuse someone in person or over the phone. The conversation also covers a few simple ways to slow things down before making a decision. Show Notes: [01:00] Vanessa Bohns explains how she began studying influence and why people are more likely to say yes than expected. [04:01] Small favors reveal how much people underestimate the power of a simple request. [06:53] The library book experiment shows how awkwardness can outweigh clear ethical concerns. [09:58] Why people are wired to cooperate and avoid the social discomfort of saying no. [15:37] How scammers use a few believable details to make an unlikely story feel true. [18:32] Why a small cue of authority can be more convincing than an elaborate explanation. [22:29] Creating distance from a request gives you time to think and verify what is happening. [25:31] Advance warning helps people make a more thoughtful decision instead of reacting automatically. [29:46] Participants hand over their unlocked phones even when private search histories are at stake. [33:16] Incentives and the fear of losing access can push people to break their own rules. [34:24] Social pressure can be powerful even when there is no financial reward. [37:49] A phishing email uses authority, urgency, and reciprocity to fool an influence expert. [41:02] Firm personal rules can make it easier to resist pressure from salespeople and scammers. [44:20] Asking for a request in writing reduces pressure and gives you time to process it. [46:20] Why knowledge does not make anyone immune and scam victims deserve more grace. [48:20] Helping a family member avoid another scam without blaming them for what already happened. [49:20] Vanessa's final takeaway on slowing things down and preparing for the possibility that anyone can be fooled. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Carolyn Woodard covers two pieces of nonprofit AI news worth your time this week: a new AI connector from Impala, and a report from Bridgespan and NTEN that gives nonprofits a practical way to decide where AI actually fits their work.Impala just launched an MCP connector that links its philanthropic database to the AI assistant you already use, including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, so you are not locked into a single vendor. The database covers more than 2 million nonprofits, 250,000 foundations, 25 million grant transactions, board and leadership profiles, and full 990 data, and setup takes about two minutes if you already have a plan. Candid and Charity Navigator have made similar moves.Carolyn digs into Choosing Your AI Path, the framework Bridgespan and NTEN built from a survey of nonprofits worldwide. It sorts nonprofit AI work into three dimensions, Augment, Advance, and Advocate. Carolyn walks through each with examples, from a nonprofit using AI on satellite imagery to spot newly cleared airstrips before illegal logging begins, to the ACLU of Massachusetts building staff AI literacy with the AI Now Institute and then pushing for federal rules limiting consequential AI decisions in realms like hiring, credit, housing, and criminal justice.This episode covers:The three dimensions of the framework: Augment for internal capacity, Advance for mission and program expansion, and Advocate for shaping our national and international AI governance and policy. Most organizations will lead with one, but all three are worth understanding.What the survey found: 70% of nonprofit leaders say they are not taking advantage of meaningful AI opportunities, only 8% have a formal AI roadmap, 4% report AI meaningfully embedded across the organization, and 57% have not named anyone responsible for AI oversight.Why naming an AI owner, whether that is a formal title on your executive team, a coordinator, a small committee, or a board member, is becoming a practical necessity rather than a nice to have.No regrets steps for limited resource organizations: set a responsible use policy and train staff on it, inventory your workflow bottlenecks, pick one or two low risk use cases to experiment with, learn from peer organizations, and stay informed on the AI risks that touch your community.What funders can do differently: fund capacity rather than licenses, carry pilots through to sustained operations and past go live, and play a convening role so nonprofits can make their own informed choices. 69% of survey respondents reported zero AI funding of any kind.Resources Mentioned:Choosing Your AI Path, Bridgespan and NTENImpala MCPCandid MCP connector for ClaudeCharity Navigator on PerplexityAI Now InstituteTemplate, Acceptable Use of AI Tools in the Nonprofit Workplace, Community ITNew every Tuesday. _______________________________Start a conversation :)Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.comon LinkedIn on reddit/r/nonprofitITmanagementon the Community IT websiteThanks for listening.

The guidance you've been searching for may have been with you all along. The real challenge is learning how to recognize Divine wisdom beneath fear, overthinking, and the pressure to get everything right.In this joyful conversation, Elaine Starling welcomes author, spiritual instructor, angel communicator, and modern mystic Ann Albers to explore the powerful connection between self-love and Divine guidance. Ann shares the extraordinary path that took her from engineering to more than 30 years of communicating with angels, along with the simple principle she uses to evaluate guidance: does it genuinely resonate?You'll discover why self-love is not about being positive all the time, how self-acceptance helps you naturally rise into greater alignment, and why relaxing your mental grip makes it easier to receive the next inspired impulse. Ann also shares a practical way to tune into the vibration of love before asking for guidance, plus remarkable stories about manifestation, trust, grief, joy, and letting The Divine handle the HOW.Topics Covered (add timestamps if available)• 0:00 How do you know whether you're receiving Divine guidance or listening to fear?• 2:40 Connecting with The Divine through breath, Intention, and shared energy• 8:02 From engineer to angel communicator: Ann's unexpected spiritual path• 11:34 The simplest test for guidance: Does it resonate?• 13:28 Why Ann defines abundance as happiness• 16:52 Why “you cannot listen when you're talking” applies to your busy mind• 18:46 Intention, Grateful Curiosity, and Celebrating in Advance• 19:57 Ann's remarkable $44,152 manifestation story• 22:11 Why we make Divine co-creation harder than it needs to be• 24:41 Self-acceptance as the foundation of self-love• 26:39 What self-love really means when you're sad, angry, grieving, or struggling• 30:33 Trusting that life can ultimately work on your behalf• 31:27 Why Divine guidance arrives “now, now, now” instead of as a five-year plan• 34:35 Two practical steps to receive clearer guidance• 37:16 Ann's free weekly Messages from Ann & the Angels• 39:53 Ann's simplest invitation: Find something you love and do it• 42:25 Playfully trusting The Divine in ordinary life• 46:45 The incomprehensible amount of love available to youYouTube tip: These timestamps can double as Chapters.Key Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)• You are the ultimate authority in your own life. Even spiritual guidance should resonate, feel inspiring, or feel naturally right to you.• Self-love begins with self-acceptance. You do not have to deny sadness, anger, grief, or frustration in order to be spiritual or receive guidance.• When you have done what you know to do, stop mentally spinning and “delegate up.” A relaxed mind has more room to receive a new thought, signal, or impulse.• Love, joy, appreciation, and kindness help tune you to the frequency on which Divine guidance is easier to perceive.• Guidance is often immediate and organic. The next right step may seem completely unrelated to the solution your mind is trying to manufacture.• Grateful Curiosity turns your relationship with The Divine into a playful partnership instead of a problem-solving struggle.• There is more love and support available to you than you can comprehend — and the more you receive, the more there is to receive.Step-by-Step Process SharedAnn's “Get in the Vibration of Love” Guidance Practice1. Accept yourself exactly where you are. → Acknowledge what you are feeling without judgment. Self-acceptance is already an act of love.2. Temporarily set the problem aside. → Stop trying to force the answer so your mind has room to listen.3. Think of someone or something you genuinely love or appreciate. → Choose anything that naturally opens your heart.4. Feel the love in your body. → Relive why you love that person, animal, memory, experience, or even a favorite treat.5. Let go of the object and stay with the feeling. → Rest in the vibration of love itself.6. Ask your question and notice what comes first. → Trust the first feeling, thought, image, or inner impulse that arises.Listen to the episode for Ann's lived examples of using these principles with manifestation, grief, decisions, money, unexpected problems, and everyday spiritual guidance.Questions Answered in This Episode• How can I tell the difference between fear, mental noise, and genuine Divine guidance?• What caused Ann Albers to leave engineering and begin communicating with angels professionally?• What does abundance mean when you begin with spiritual alignment instead of external circumstances?• Why is self-acceptance so important when I want my outer life to change?• How can I hear guidance more clearly when I'm worried, grieving, angry, or overwhelmed?• Why does trying harder sometimes make spiritual guidance harder to receive?• What can I do right now to tune into the vibration of love before asking for direction?• How can I make my relationship with The Divine more playful, trusting, and practical?Pull Quotes“You're the authority in your own life.” — Ann Albers“Self-love is truly accepting that you're a Divine being, no matter what's going on at the surface.” — Ann Albers“Get in the vibration of love first.” — Ann AlbersFree GiftFree weekly newsletter from Ann & the Angels — Messages from Ann & the Angels offers inspiration, channeled angelic wisdom, personal stories, and practical tips to help you deepen your connection with spirit and apply spiritual principles in everyday life.• https://www.visionsofheaven.comShare what you Loved and what you Learned from this episode to Download the Spiritual Alignment & Conscious Actions Guide — your roadmap to reconnect with The Divine, raise your vibration, and live as the woman your soul designed you to be.https://www.TheAbundanceJourney.com/Contact — click on the Share My Thoughts button.
