“The nervous system needs space between stressors.”In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession explores 10 common business practices that undermine nervous system safety, sabotaging performance, connection, and well-being at work. These issues arise not from malicious intent but from outdated norms that have gone unchallenged. Through neuroscience, faith, and lived experience, Rebecca reveals how back-to-back meetings, vague metrics, micromanagement, and rapid change keep teams stuck in fight-or-flight mode, draining creativity and trust.In this episode, you'll learn:Why safety is the foundation for growth and great decision-makingHow common business norms activate threat responses and how to replace themPractical shifts you can make to restore trust and build sustainabilityThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:47) Creating a safe working environment(03:06) 10 business norms undermining nervous system safety(04:44) Norm 1: Back-to-back meetings(07:33) Norm 2: Always-on culture(09:11) Norm 3: Ambiguous expectations(11:05) Norm 4: Public performance reviews(12:53) Norm 5: Rewarding overwork(14:39) Norm 6: Lack of context and transparency(16:15) Norm 7: Fixing people instead of systems(18:06) Norm 8: Ignoring emotional signals(19:06) Norm 9: Over-indexing on control(20:43) Norm 10: Celebrating rapid change(22:06) Reflecting on workplace practicesConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

Is it normal to grieve the life you imagined before T1D? In today's episode, we're joined by registered psychotherapist, founder of her own private practice, and fellow T1D, Kirsten Davidson, to explore just that. Together, we unpack the emotional layers of type 1 diabetes that often go unspoken. From the quiet grief of “what could've been,” to how blood sugars impact our emotional state, to the ways avoidance can quietly shape our relationship with T1D. Kirsten brings both personal insight and professional expertise to this conversation, offering powerful validation for the mental and emotional weight that comes with chronic illness. Whether you're newly diagnosed or years into your journey, this episode is a gentle, much-needed reminder: your emotional experience matters, and you're not alone in it.Quick Takeaways:Understanding of the interplay between T1D and mental healthThe importance of allowing yourself to grieve your T1D diagnosis and process the emotional weight that often goes unspokenHow trauma, stress, and survival mode responses can shape your relationship with diabetes over timeThe emotional impact of blood sugar fluctuations and how they affect more than just your body BONUS TOPIC: How parents can model emotional awareness and foster empowered, supportive relationships with their T1D childrenTimestamps:[02:50] Blood sugar check to start today's episode [05:29] Physiological and physical side effects of a high blood sugar [06:13] “What are the symptoms?

This week we dig into life's big questions: how to love, laugh & financially flourish in a world that seems to be doing its best to keep us off balance On my show this week I have a medley of minds and hearts to tackle life's most elusive pursuits: purpose, prosperity and punchlines. From the philosophy of love to economic psychology, and a sprinkle of comedy to bind it all together, the episode was a bouquet of unexpected wisdom. First up, Rick Serrano, philosopher, engineer, and Harvard MBA, returned with his relationship roadmap now available in book form: “All You Need is 10 Cherries.” This method to finding one's perfect life partner offers a structured framework to navigate your options —five cherries for self-awareness and five for action. From recognising doubts and defining values to the financial equivalent of the ‘Sunk Love Fallacy.' Rick urges us to approach relationships with the same discipline we apply to business. One of his main principles can be summarised here: “If you were not in this relationship today, would you enter it? If the answer is no, you already know what to do.” Rick's philosophy stretches beyond romance. His new workshop “The Quest for Meaning – Unveiling Your Life's Purpose” invites participants to envision their lives in 2040, both with current constraints and without. He combines forward vision with retrospective reflection, helping people identify patterns, possibilities, and pathways to an extraordinary life because he believes we owe ourselves nothing less. The theme of self-reclamation was echoed by comedians Jess Bauldry and Marta Correia, co-founders of Frilly Curtains Comedy Club and Festrogen Festival. They spoke of comedy as a healing force, particularly for women reclaiming their identity after traumatic life events such as divorce. Marta shared a poignant story of reading her “letter to the universe” onstage from which an audience member came up to her afterwards and told her that was how she found her own husband! Sophie Jablonski and Minna Schmidt of Flourish Financially joined once more to bring a fresh, empathetic take on economic empowerment with the “Four Seasons of Financial Health”. Spring is a time for planting seeds of confidence in a VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous). The goal is to cultivate financial resilience, emotional steadiness, and long-term thinking amid global instability. Why is it that many financially savvy women don't invest. Fear, uncertainty and emotional barriers seem to be the recurring reasons. Sophie and Minna work with women to integrate personal development with financial literacy. They believe it's about knowing yourself and acting with intention, especially during turbulent times. So, whether you're rethinking your savings strategy, relationship status, or life purpose, hopefully this episode can serve as a catalyst to seek out your extra-ordinary life with intention. But first, clean your airplane. Attend the upcoming Festrogen Festival in Luxembourg here. A gift to explore your Financial Wellbeing Flourish Financially are happy to offer my listeners access to their exclusive self-assessment tool, the Financial Flourishing Scale. Grounded in research from positive psychology and financial resilience, it helps individuals reflect on their current relationship with money—whether they're thriving, surviving, or languishing. https://bit.ly/flourishing-scale https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-serrano-luxembourg/ https://festrogenfestival.com/ https://www.instagram.com/comicbyaccident/ https://www.instagram.com/frillycurtainscomedy/ https://drsophiecoaching.com/ https://www.minnaschmidt.com/ https://flourishfinancially.org/

“Keep it simple and focus on what matters. Don't let yourself be overwhelmed.” -Confucius The Power of the Pause Congratulations to our co-host Adrienne Guerrero on rocking her TEDx talk on the Power of the Pause. She did it! We'll keep you posted when it's published. You won't want to miss it! The P.A.U.S.E framework emerged from Adrienne's personal struggles with the symptoms of living and doing from a reactive state. She learns what she teaches, teaches as she learns! A Leadership Beyond emerged as we saw our synergy and had big ideas, inspiring possibilities of working together. COVID struck and voila, "we can't do this!" We pulled over, asking, "what can we do?" We've gone from lunch and learn, to blog, to podcast, to community of conversation. We think you'll enjoy this insightful conversation between co-founders Adrienne Guerrero and Tom Rosenak, as we discuss Adrienne's recent TEDx experience, the framework, and how this concept can help leaders navigate today's fast-paced, distraction-filled environment. Key Highlights: The PAUSE Framework: A practical approach for leaders to escape reactivity and make strategic decisions: Pull over: Find your technique to calm your mind (meditation, breathing, movement) Assess: Ask "what is true" and "what needs to be true" challenging your assumptions U turn: Uncover possible options after grounding in values Start: Take action, no matter how small Evaluate: Reflect and determine next steps The Strategic Value: In today's VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) environment: Leaders often sacrifice strategy for tactical "box-checking" The pause framework helps identify what truly matters versus mere motion Small, intentional steps can create meaningful progress toward important goals Our Community Support: Practical tools to make strategic pausing easier, including assessments, frameworks, and execution support Accountability and guidance through workshops, executive coaching, and change leadership support. Help with staying focused on what you're "counting on to win" rather than being pulled into constant reactivity Join us for our next episode of A Leadership Beyond, where we'll continue to explore ways our guests have gone from survive to thrive in today's complex leadership landscape. A Leadership Beyond exists to support the alignment between the business strategy and people strategy - to drive results with people not at the expense of people (Talent Optimization). Subscribe to our podcast to join the Leadership Beyond Community of Conversation and hear insights from thought leaders and human development experts leading the way in the field of Talent Optimization.

Doing PhD research often feels like a perfect storm for sadness, burnout, and self-doubt. Ambiguous feedback, relentless rejection, and the endless cycle of working on projects that others might never care about—it's enough to make anyone question their choices.But here's the perspective I've learned to embrace: research is hard, yes, but it's also a privilege. It's a rare opportunity to push boundaries, create something meaningful, and tackle challenges that matter to you. Even when it feels lonely, frustrating, or downright miserable, it's a gift to be able to do this kind of work.I share why seeing your work as a privilege, not a burden, can transform how you approach your journey as a researcher. It's not about fame, money, or recognition—it's about doing something that matters, no matter how messy, ugly, or misunderstood it may be. Because the hardest challenges in life are often the most rewarding.Take a moment to reflect: What's your privilege in the struggle? Let's talk about why it's worth it.

Ed Dentzel is a man of many trades. Trained as a classical pianist and a high school football player, he worked as an actor on Star Trek: The Experience, was a writer and held many other jobs before starting a podcast in 2016 focused on missing persons cases. In his time on his podcast, Unfound, Ed has covered approximately 300 cases and has become an expert in why people go missing and is acutely aware of how virtually anyone is vulnerable.Ed also became a part of the Jonelle Matthews case when he interviewed a suspect, Steve Pankey, and was eventually called as a witness at trial. Matthews was a 12-year-old American girl who disappeared near Greeley, Colorado on December 20, 1984, was mentioned by President Ronald Reagan and became one of the first missing children to be placed on a milk carton. We discuss it all in the first of two episodes with Ed.To listen to the Unfound podcast or check out his YouTube Channel:https://theunfoundpodcast.com/Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-store/To read our Trime Cime Times Substack:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linjngs Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

"Do you want to be articulate and dangerous or vague and useless? - Jordan Petersen The ESSENTIAL tool for Th'rive in '25 is the VOCA Framework or mindset. Make it a daily practice! VUCA = Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous vs. VOCA = Visionary, Ownership, Creates, Action Articulation is no longer optional -- it is essential! It is the bridge from VUCA to VOCA. Articulation bridges a leader's intent with their audience's understanding.

In this episode, we sat down with Jonathon Murillo, our Director of Content and Strategy at Ignite Institute at PSR. Jonathon introduces the concept of a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world and the need for a new way to lead, which led to the development of Ignite's hallmark program, Wisdom-Based Leadership. He shares how this leadership framework goes beyond traditional corporate tools and methods, and integrates personal formation and skill development, with its competencies of creative communication, courageous collaboration, and contemplative care. We hear about the positive changes observed in leaders trained in wisdom-based leadership and the importance of honoring marginalized experiences and spiritual traditions. He also highlights the need for a platform to continue equipping and supporting rising faith leaders in these areas, and how Kwaray meets that need, providing a global, digital room for collective wisdom and continuous formation and skill development, where leaders can find affirmation and support. This episode provides inspiration and a direct path for leaders looking for a community where the collective wisdom of its members can emerge and support each other's growth.To get more content like this and learn more about ignite and PSR go to psr.edu.
In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli sits down with David Ross, VUCA strategist and author of Confronting the Storm: Regenerating Leadership and Hope in the Age of Uncertainty. David is a renowned expert on VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) environments and has spent his career advising organizations on how to thrive amidst complexity and disruption. With a background as an ecologist, David brings a unique perspective to leadership—one that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the issues facing businesses and society today. His deep understanding of wicked problems, those challenges with no straightforward solutions, forms the backbone of this engaging conversation.The discussion centers around how leaders must adapt to the rapidly changing business landscape, where traditional approaches no longer work. David argues that the old leadership models—based on control and linear thinking—are ill-suited for the challenges we face today. Instead, he advocates for a more collaborative, emotionally intelligent, and resilient leadership style, one that embraces uncertainty rather than fighting it. He explains how technology, climate change, and societal shifts are creating a world that's more BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible), and what leaders need to do to stay ahead.Throughout the episode, David draws on his extensive experience advising CEOs and leadership teams, offering practical insights into how organizations can navigate the unpredictability of today's environment. He also delves into the importance of hope and optimism, even in times of crisis, and how leaders can turn challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation. Actionable Takeaways:You'll learn why traditional leadership models based on control and linear thinking are no longer effective in today's VUCA world—and what you need to replace them with.Hear how embracing uncertainty and fostering resilience can transform how your organization responds to crises and wicked problems.Discover the power of emotional intelligence in leadership and why listening is just as important as speaking in today's collaborative environments.Find out what David means by a BANI world (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible) and how leaders can adapt to thrive in these unpredictable times.Explore the importance of hope and optimism in leadership and how turning crises into opportunities is key to long-term success.Understand why future literacy and foresight are critical tools for leaders looking to anticipate change and guide their organizations through complexity.Learn why David believes that normalcy has left the building and how leaders must evolve to lead effectively in this new reality.Hear David's insights on why collaboration—not isolation—is the future of leadership and how diverse perspectives fuel innovation.Gain insight into why scenario planning is a powerful tool for leaders to prepare for multiple futures and make better strategic decisions.Connect with David RossDavid Ross Website Confronting the Storm: Regenerating Leadership and Hope in the Age of UncertaintyDavid Ross LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
How does an understanding of what makes dogs tick, help us to understand ourselves and our place in the world? What does it take to feel safe - as a human, or as a dog (or cat, or horse, or... anything)? And how can we help ourselves and each other find regulation in a VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous)?Andrew Hale is a Certified Animal Behaviourist who specialises in working complex behaviour cases, especially those involving 'Reactivity and Aggression.' Look around you at the world. Look at the news. What two words best describe the nature of our local, national and geo-political processes? Andrew is one of those remarkable people committed to a Dog Centred Care approach, working with empathy and compassion to understand why any being is behaving in this way. His focus is on dogs, but what we're learning - and the reason I have invited Andrew onto the podcast - is that all the theories of secure or ruptured attachment, of the need for autonomy, agency, confidence and safety, apply in dogs as much as they do in people -or indeed, any sentient being. This conversation dives deep into trauma (or at least, trauma responses), our capacity for secure attachment in the modern world, our parenting skills, our skills as people who choose to share our lives with other animals - and ultimately, our skills in helping ourselves cope with a culture that's increasingly going off the rails. It's not about to get any better, either. So the more we can find our own stability, the more we can help others. Which is what this episode is all about. Relax, get yourself a cup of tea and let's explore what really makes us tick.

How do you handle setbacks and challenges? Do you struggle, or do you stay afloat? Cathleen sits down with Russell Harvey, known widely as the resilience coach. With a career spanning over two decades in learning and development, Russell brings a wealth of experience and personal anecdotes that illustrate the profound impact of balancing humanity, data, and processes within organisations.

Get ready to embrace change and discover the keys to thriving through adversity with actionable advice and heartfelt stories that will inspire you to become a legendary leader. Episode Timeline: 01:07 Handling setbacks and understanding resilience as a tool. 09:13 Leadership involves resolving dilemmas ethically, creatively and adaptably. 11:50 Resilience is springing forward with learning, not bouncing back. 27:33 Adaptability is openness to change, not action. 39:35 Repeated experiences taught self-care and practical tasks. 48:16 Personal challenges taught resilience. 56:51 Leaders need training on managing emotions during change. 01:03:38 Team gathers situational awareness through conversations. Key Takeaways: Russell emphasises fostering a supportive community and maintaining continual communication are crucial for organisational resilience.

Resilience involves a combination of being open to change, maintaining a positive attitude, and leveraging one's support network for energy and strength. Both Cathleen and Russell discuss the importance of adaptability and agility, especially in the face of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA). Leaders need to be proactive in their decision-making, maintaining situational awareness and clarity amidst change.

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.In this conversation, the brilliant Dr. Richard Hodge (aren't you glad you live in a universe that includes him?) introduces the four quadrant model as a way of clarifying and codifying our approach to complex problems.Before we get into it, I wanna say: This is high-level stuff.It's meaty (ok, seitan-y) and will take a while for most folks to digest. (I'm still working on it after being introduced to Richard's work over 3 months ago.)And it's the real deal — a ninja path to high level impact at scale in a TUNA world.(TUNA, which we learn about in this episode, stands for Turbulent, Uncertain, Novel, and Ambiguous. Richard likes it better than VUCA, and now I do too.)The four quadrants are:WHY (drives meaning)HOW (drives connection)WHAT (what we're going to do)IF (impact if implemented)The beauty is, we can apply this process to both large-scale organizational problems and personal challenges.The process is question-based.First, we ask why to uncover meaning and values.Then we explore how to build connections between people, nodes of the system, and outside forces.We inquire into what we're going to do, diving into the oft-overlooked details of strategy, operations, and governance. (Yes, this is complex, but you can apply it to your personal goals and challenges, like improving your diet or starting a journaling habit or upgrading how you communicate with work colleagues and loved ones.)Then we look at the projected consequences and outcomes, and ask if they match our initial goals and values.We go deep here, covering concepts like identity and policy framework. And I realize this isn't your usual podcast-while-taking-a-walk episode.In fact, I highly recommend you set aside time and space to watch the video — there's a lot of valuable white-boarding, which will make the whole thing way more understandable.And I don't want the complexity to obscure the big idea here: that every person has a role to play in making the world a better place. By understanding their place in the larger system, they have exponentially more power to contribute to positive change.LinksDrRichardHodge.comSir Ken Robinson's TED Talk: "Do Schools Kill Creativity?"Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor FranklWalking Well, by Michael Gelb and Bruce FertmanClick to subscribe to the Mindset Mastery Memo.Support the Show.
