Jim Britt turns one word into a leadership gut-punch: resourceful. Then, he goes even further: what if source is love, and fear is something we accidentally fall in love with instead? In this episode, you'll hear a true story of losing everything, making one decision not to quit, and watching opportunity appear almost on cue. We also unpack the hidden beliefs and self-talk that sabotage leaders, plus the approval-and-control paradox that makes smart people freeze when it matters most.

[3:10] A rock-bottom story: losing everything, choosing not to quit, and the single decision that changed the trajectory. [5:12] Taking action when you have almost nothing . . . and how one small move can unlock unexpected opportunity. [6:26] What most people do wrongly when they try hard but get no results . . . and how coaching can flip outcomes fast. [7:45] Why vision boards are optional but decisions are not . . . and how progress is built in “today,” not someday. [8:51] Why we set a goal, make a decision, then generate fear to stop ourselves . . . and the hidden role of subconscious self-talk. [9:36] How core beliefs formed in the first six years can shape adult confidence, relationships, and leadership behaviour at work. [10:20] What “not feeling worthy” can look like in adulthood . . . from staying silent in meetings to self-sabotaging success. [12:13] Why speaking to an audience can feel like facing predators . . . and how ancient survival wiring shows up as modern fear. [12:55] The approval and control paradox: why needing approval blocks it, and why needing control creates more anxiety. [13:22] How letting go of approval and control helps you become more yourself . . . and why that is what audiences respond to. [14:44] A “never again” public speaking moment . . . and how to turn a rough first attempt into skill-building rather than avoidance. [16:12] How to identify your mindset by looking at results in any area of life . . . and why decisions quietly shape how you show up. [17:29] Why leaders inside organisations should write a book . . . using publishing as credibility, conversation fuel, and visibility. [18:23] Personal branding for employed leaders . . . and how being published can help you rise through the ranks. [19:12] Practical advice for success: become “resourceful” by reconnecting to source . . . and choosing vision over fear.

I’m your host, Allen Hall, and I’m here with Matthew Stead, who is back in Australia, but not at home. He’s up in Queensland. Or actually, not even on– in Queensland, technically. He’s on an island off the coast of Queensland. Where are you at, Matthew?  Matthew Stead: Uh, Moreton Island. It’s, uh, like a resort island off, uh, off of Brisbane, so beautiful outside.  Allen Hall 2025: Well, you need a little bit of resort time because you’ve been to two conferences, and you spent a good bit of time in Austria after that. So you were at WindEurope in Madrid, and then following that, you went right over to Scotland for Blades Europe. So I wanna hear your thoughts. We’ll start with, uh, WindEurope and what was going on at that conference. It did sound like there was a pretty [00:01:00] good attendance, and some people that I have talked to about it really en-enjoyed being in Madrid. It’s just  Matthew Stead: a bigger city. Um, first time I’d ever been to Madrid, and, uh, yeah, the show was amazing, actually. I was, I was a bit blown away by, uh, I think the OEMs were back out in force. You know, so like the Vestas, Siemens were, um, really– and Nordexes and so forth were really back out in force, so that was really good to see. Um, the, some of the larger operators had really, really strong presence as well. So you could see that, you know, Iberdrola, Res, um, those sorts of companies were, um, really, you know, putting a big effort in and meeting their customers and, um, really showing, uh, the world who they were. So that was really, um, you know, really good to see. There were so many people seriously. Um, the queues for food at lunch were, were, um, one of the major problems. Um, so, um, yeah, it was really a lot of people, so that was really exciting. Um, and I mean, for me, I was [00:02:00]trying to catch up with, with partners and friends and, yeah, it was, it was jam, jam-packed just meeting people in the industry. Um, probably a few other things. So s- you know, SkySpecs and Aerones had a really strong, um, presence there. So, um, SkySpecs and Aerones were, were doing really well. Um, maybe one of the, um, surprises for me, and I know this has been a topic on a few other previous episodes, was there was a lot of interest in bird and bat detection. I, I, I think there had to be, like, five companies that were, were– had really big setups, and it was a really, really big topic around cameras and so forth. So, um, that was a, a big topic. And, um, then there, there was a really, really strong, you know, supply chain, you know, from, from vessels to cables to, you know, repairs. Allen Hall 2025: What was the ratio of offshore companies to onshore companies? I’m always curious.  Matthew Stead: You’re looking through the, the list. Um- I would, I’m only guessing it [00:03:00] was probably about 40% had an offshore focus of some kind. So it was definitely a strong offshore focus. Um, obviously, you know, a lot of onshore, offshore combined companies. But yeah, definitely the word offshore kept on popping up a lot.  Allen Hall 2025: Because Spain is mostly onshore. Like, um, like 99% onshore, right? I think it’s a couple of small projects going offshore. Does it look like the onshore business is gonna pick up, uh, just in terms of the activity on the floor in Madrid?  Matthew Stead: Uh, yeah. Um, I, I think, you know, like I said, you know, those big operators like the REZAs and the Iberdrolas and, and the OEMs, I, I think it’s just a given that, um, you know, things are buoyant. Um, well, they appear to be definitely very buoyant. Uh, I think we’ve heard, you know, some of the positive, um, financial news from a few of the OEMs recently. So yeah, yeah, it seems like o- onshore is, is maturing further, further, further. And so you went straight  Allen Hall 2025: from Madrid, right, to [00:04:00] Edinburgh, Scotland. That was a change in weather, I would assume. Uh, probably about a 20 degree Celsius difference. 25 down to 15, yes. Whoa. Okay. Yeah, that’s a good bit. Uh, but the Edinburgh conference, that’s the first time that Blades Europe has been to Edinburgh. I, at least I don’t remember them being there before. That tends to be a more technical conference than Wind Europe. Uh, the, the Blades conference is obviously focused on blades, and all the relevant experts in Europe do tend to show up there. What were some of the hot topics at Blades Europe this year? Matthew Stead: Yeah, I think it was, um, an interesting conference. Um, I, I’d been to Blades USA, so I was able to contrast, um, Blades USA a little bit. I think probably the differences here were, yeah, there was definitely some strong, strong, uh, experts there, like you say. Um, you know, Birgit, um, our friend was, was in attendance and a few of her colleagues from Statkraft. Um, I think, and or, uh, actually ORE Catapult, the, the [00:05:00] UK research, um, offshore renewable energy research, um, they did some great presentations. I really, um, they really shared some really good insights. So, um, ORE Catapult were talking about life extension and, um, you know, looking at the, the fatigue on blades and, uh, how they’re, how they’re going to perform and life extension. So some great stuff from ORE Catapult there. Probably another key topic that came up was around, uh, sort of related to life extension, but also recycling. The, there was a really good session on the new IEC standard. Um, um, to, you know, full disclosure, I was actually on the panel. So I, I thought it was a great panel. But, um, the new IEC standard for blade operations and maintenance, um, is really well a-advanced now in its development. Um, very strong risk focus, you know. So depending on the risk then drives your, your blade O&M program. [00:06:00] Um, so that was a, a great talk as well. Uh, and then maybe finally, um, something close to my heart, um, I think the, the, you know, the maturity of CMS companies. There actually, there were five blade CMS companies there, which is probably the biggest turnout I’ve seen around blade CMS, um, ever. And so it was good to see that sort of, um, interest and growth, um, and the need for, for blade CMS. Uh, and, um, obviously the last one, lightning. So lightning always an issue. Lots of discussions around lightning, um, you know, through Greece and a few of the, the, the Balkan go- Balkan states. On the blade recycling front, there’s a  Allen Hall 2025: company in Scotland called ReBlade that is involved in some of the recycling efforts. Did they give a presentation of, of what they’re up to at the moment? Matthew Stead: Uh, yes, I think they did. Um, they’re talking about setting up a, a site in a, a [00:07:00] couple of sites, and I think Inverness was the, the location where they’re, where they’re setting up a site. The, um, the port is supportive, so they’re working through those, those, those challenges. You know, getting a site, getting transport and access to the blades. Um, working out when, when the, when the blades will come to them. You know, the storage of blades. Um, the, the end, end uses for those blades. Getting all that supply chain, um, lined up was, you know, yeah, it was, that was quite thorough and quite, um, yeah, inspiring.  Allen Hall 2025: And on the CMS side, what are operators trying to monitor? ‘Cause usually have something in mind that they’re going after.  Matthew Stead: For better or for worse, there’s still some serial, um, failure modes. Um, and so the industry is looking at very particular, you know, challenges that, um, certain make and model have. Um, so root insert failures was definitely one of those, um, one of those topics. Um, and that was actually one of the, the, the [00:08:00] roundtable discussions at, uh, Blades Europe. Some other, um, monitoring around, you know, lightning and- lightning damage and what’s happening with the LPS. That was also, uh, another big topic for, for monitoring. And then a few other sort of general, more, more general, um, you know, natural frequencies of blades and seeing if the natural frequencies are changing, indicating a change in stiffness, which relates to potential damage. So yeah, there was– it was quite a mix of the types of, um, CMS that was discussed.  Allen Hall 2025: Has the digital twin finally died? Anybody talk about that?  Matthew Stead: There’s actually a current call-out for a new research project in Europe around digital twins. So, um, yeah, one of the larger, one of the larger operators is, is putting, pulling together a team to talk about digital twins, so-  Allen Hall 2025: I, I think this is one of the more difficult things to do, but just because you’re dealing with a variety of blades and blade factories and unique issues that pop up that are…[00:09:00] You, you really can’t model until after they happen. And after they happen, everybody knows about them anyway. So what’s the point of the digital twin if you can’t detect things early? It, it, it is a great concept, but hard to implement.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. And why? Why would you do it? I mean, you, you’re only gonna do it if there’s a benefit, and what is the benefit? So, but I think, uh, actually at Blades Europe, digital twins was not really a topic. And maybe one thing I forgot to say is that the, um, Wind Power Lab did a, a good, um, presentation on carbon blades as well, so.  Allen Hall 2025: The, the carbon blades are, is a very good discussion, just because the trend has been lately to scrap blades and bring new ones on site. And the carbon can be difficult to repair, or it takes a long time to repair, and you just don’t have the manpower or woman power to go out and fix it. So the, the fastest option is to build a new blade. But it does leave a lot of blade waste, which is where the industry is not going. Uh, recyclable blades, which is [00:10:00] in process at the moment, will make that easier, but you just don’t wanna be recycling blades. You like to be able to repair them. Composites are repairable. And it’s, it is so odd that they, they wanna continue on that pathway, but we’ll see. We’ll see. You don’t really learn the lesson until you do it.  Matthew Stead: Um, however, you know, the, the presentation on carbon blades was, um, you know, highlighted a lot of the challenges, but also highlighted some of the positives and the, you know, how they do help. Um, and so there was a lot of support for carbon blades, but there’s a lot of unknowns and, um, and there was a lot of discussion around how do you even test if the LPS is working. Uh, it’s just impossible. So, you know, traditional methods on carbon blades, yeah, it just don’t work. So, um, but there was a lot of support that the carbon does bring benefit. But yeah, I agree with you. There’s a lot of challenges there.  Allen Hall 2025: That’s one of the things we learned years ago back in the late ’80s, early ’90s when we, at least in, in the [00:11:00] States, started building a number of carbon fiber aircraft. And the repair situation and dealing with repairs in, in remote locations became difficult. And you’ve learned how much training it took to keep an industry running, and you’re starting from zero for a lot of places that all he had worked on was aluminum. It, it’s a completely different world. You’re, you’re training tens of thousands of technicians around the world. You weren’t planning to go do that, and now you are. So it just, it adds to the cost.  Matthew Stead: It also ties into the OEM, um, you know, providing, you know, details on how to repair those blades because they’re not, they’re not just a standard item, so-  Allen Hall 2025: No, you, you don’t wanna be grinding into a protrusion if you can avoid it. It- you’re just never gonna get it back into that original form because protrusions are in some part magic. And taking a grinder to them is not gonna… It’s breaking the magic. All the magic will be leaving that protrusion when you do that. Yeah, very [00:12:00]difficult. Delamination and bond line failures in blades are difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. CIC NDT are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their nondestructive test technology penetrates deep into blade materials to find voids and cracks traditional inspections completely miss. CIC NDT maps every critical defect, delivers actionable reports, and provides support to get your blades back in service. So visit cicndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions. Well, as we know, the wind industry has long been dominated by a handful of European and American turbine makers, uh, particularly in the, quote-unquote, “West.” Uh, but that landscape may be [00:13:00] shifting. Suzlon, the Indian turbine giant that nearly collapsed under about a $1.5 billion of debt just a few years ago, is back. The company has unveiled a new turbine platform aimed squarely at Europe, and says it will build its first factory on the continent if it wins enough orders. Vice Chairman Girish Tanti, uh, delivered the announcement at the WindEurope conference in Madrid, where Matthew was Signaling that Suzlon believes its time has come. And since you were there, Matthew, did you hear any news on the floor, any discussion on the show floor about Suzlon entering Europe?  Matthew Stead: Well, actually, yes. So, um, um, there was actually a good, uh, contingent of Suzlon people at, uh, Blades Europe. So, uh, they attended, uh, Wind Europe and then Blades Europe. Um, and I, you know, I was able to have a bit of discussion with them. I think, I think, uh, they were quite optimistic about, um, [00:14:00] you know, moving back or moving into, into Europe in terms of manufacturing. Um, however, there was an element of skepticism. Am I allowed to say that? So they, uh, were, they were not completely, um, convinced that it’s gonna happen, but, uh, they were certainly excited by that. It was definitely a, a clear possibility, but not a given.  Allen Hall 2025: Well, they have a, a new platform called the Blue Sky platform, um, which will have, I think, two turbines here, a 5 megawatt and a 6.3 megawatt, which is squarely aimed at Europe and also the United States, for that matter. And building a factory, though, doesn’t make a lot of sense if the cost driver for a factory in Europe is the European employees, which it tends to be when you hear the discussions about the cost structure, it’s about the employees. I’m not sure why Suzlon would make blades or nacelles in Europe unless they could avoid tariffs or taxation, because India is a very [00:15:00] cost, uh, driven, uh, manufacturing facilities writing country. So why would you wanna go build another expensive factory, probably in the realm of a couple hundred million pounds, uh, if you’re gonna go do it? It probably doesn’t make any sense to do that as well as just selling turbines into Europe. It seems like the easier path.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. And then you’ve got all the, like, the quality control challenges and, you know, you get the cultural challenges. So yeah, to be honest, I don’t qu- I don’t quite understand the logic behind that either. Um, maybe there’s, there’s some things that we don’t know about behind the scenes in terms of tariffs and other, other incentives that we don’t know about.  Allen Hall 2025: Would you see operators taking, uh, a Suzlon presentation and maybe even writing plans for developing with Suzlon turbines in the next couple of years? Is that a, a feeling that Europeans would, would do that, or is Vestas mainly and Siemens Gamesa so strong in Europe that it doesn’t make any sense unless [00:16:00] you’re in sort of the periphery countries of Europe?  Matthew Stead: I mean, my first exposure to a wind turbine was a Suzlon turbine in Australia, and there are many, many, many Suzlon turbines in Australia. And they’re all, they’re all still working. They’re all still reliable. So I mean, from a reputation and reliability and, um Yeah, history point of view, I can’t see why not. I mean, you know, uh, the operators will see that, you know, they’ve proven themselves. They’re not new kids on the block. Um, and so why wouldn’t an operator think about it? Allen Hall 2025: Well,  Matthew Stead: in  Allen Hall 2025: this quarter’s PES Wind magazine, which you can download for free at peswind.com, there is a nice article from Muelhen Wind Services, and that is a growing company. A lot going on there. Our friends at AC883 just joined Muelhen a f- few months ago, and is being part of that conglomerate. And, and we know that obviously building wind farm used to mean [00:17:00]consulting with dozens of contractors, and this is where Mue- Muelhen has really s- stepped into the breach here. So from blade repair at one company and heavy lift cranes at another company, all that had to be managed separately. You’re calling s- different companies all the time. And watching asset managers and site supervisors do this, uh, it is a thankless job. Well, Muelhen’s trying to change that a little bit, uh, and they’re saying that that model no longer works, and I totally agree with them. It’s insane. Uh, but so Muelhen has consolidated six specialist firms under its one brand, and covering everything from port pre-assembly to long-term operations and maintenance across Europe, the US and Canada, uh, and Asia-Pacific. Its CEO, Søren Hoffer, uh, puts it plainly, “The next phase of wind will not be won by turbine size alone. It will be decided by the supply chain’s ability to execute.” Boy, [00:18:00]couldn’t say truer words. Uh, I’ve worked with Muelhen or my company, Weather Guard Lightning Tech, has worked with Muelhen on a couple of projects over the years, and we’ve always had, uh, great service from them, and we have talked to a number of operators that love them, that love using Muelhen. So it’s not a surprise that they’re trying to grow and expand and make life easier for the operators.  Matthew Stead: Sounds like a brilliant move, really. I mean, you know, pulling all these sort of things together is, is a real challenge, isn’t it? I mean, coordinating all these subcontractors, um, getting to turn up at the right time, and yeah, I mean, it just sounds like a brilliant move, and I think that we need more, more, more efficient service companies to service the growing fleet. So the more they can get organized, the better.  Allen Hall 2025: Yeah, the scale matters here, and the expertise matters. As we’ve have a couple hundred thousand turbines that are [00:19:00] operating in the, quote-unquote, “West,” it does make sense to have a larger player that has seen most of those turbines and has some experience with them. It’s always the scary scenario when you’re working with a new company. Have they been on this turbine before? Do they know what they’re doing? Do they know- Lockout tagout. Even simple things like that come to the forefront. And the, the trouble is on some of these smaller companies that are in that business is that, uh, you just don’t get the level of service, you don’t get the level of response, you don’t have the horsepower if something were to, to go wrong on site. They don’t have the cash to, to bring in a second crane or another crew to get this job done. It, it does become scale at some point. And, uh, for a long time in the wind industry, particularly United States, it, it has been a lot of, quote-unquote, “mom-and-pop operations,” and those are slowly getting acquired by the likes of Muehlhan. I, I, I think this is inevitable at some point. Uh, from the asset owner’s, uh, desktop watching this go on, [00:20:00] how do you see, you know, a large operator interfacing with Muehlhan? Are they gonna do just one-stop shopping at this point? They’re, they’re not gonna have three or four different companies to work with, that they’re just gonna lock into, uh, Muehlhan? ‘Cause, uh, that’s what I see.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. I, I think, you know, from the, the WOMA Conference in, in Melbourne, we saw a bit of a, bit of a shift towards, um, outsourcing, at least in Australia Pacific region. And I mean, if, if you’re gonna outsource, um, you’re, you’re probably gonna join up with a, a Muehlhan, um, equivalent. So, you know, that way it just takes some of the risk out of, out of it, so it, it sort of makes sense. Um, the other observation I’ve heard is that, you know, because of the seasonality of blade repairs, it’s really hard to keep hold of, um, blade techs. And so if you’re a global company, you’ve got at least some opportunity of using the ses- seasonality and keeping hold of the good techs and, um, you know, so, you know, you know, summer in, in North, North, uh, America, and then, you know, summer in [00:21:00] Australia. So it, it, it allows these company, allows these companies to keep hold of their good people.  Allen Hall 2025: Yeah. And that, that’s always been the yearly problem, right? That you have a, a crew of a couple good crews in the summertime, and you come back the next summer and it’s a whole different group of people and yeah, that, that, that’s trouble for the industry. Well, a- and it’s good. It’s fi- it’s finally good to see this happening, and I know, uh, we’ve talked about it internally here at Weather Guard of who to work with and who to partner with. We like working with companies that have scale, and I think we’re finally there. So it’s really interesting to see this article from Johan in PES Wind. So if you, if you haven’t read the article, you should go visit peswind.com and take a look. There’s a lot of great content in this quarter’s issue, and y- you don’t wanna miss it. So go to peswind.com today. As wind energy professionals, staying informed is crucial, and let’s face it, difficult. That’s why the Uptime podcast recommends PES Wind magazine.

Whether you’re an industry veteran or new to wind, PES Wind has the high-quality content you need. Don’t miss out. Visit peswind.com today. So when, when the energy prices spike like they’re happening right now, uh, the Iran war being one of the main drivers, and obviously gasoline prices have jumped quite a bit, here’s what happens. The China’s clean energy sector goes to work, and they’re racing to make connections and make sales. As electricity prices jump up, gas prices jump up, everybody wants to try to find a cheaper way to provide energy to their countries or locales. Uh, China’s there to offer it. So it’s solar panels, batteries, EVs, and even wind turbines are, are looking for homes out of China. Uh, for European wind professionals, [00:23:00] the most important part comes from Mingyang, right? So they were unable to get a production facility in Scotland, but they haven’t given up yet. They are still searching for a home somewhere in Europe. And as of today, I don’t think they’ve found it. They’re s- I think they’re still looking for some country to host them. But how long is that gonna go on, Matthew? I, I think with the domination of Vestas and Siemens Gamesa in Europe and Suzlon trying to make an entry, will Mingyang and other Chinese manufacturers eventually find a home?  Matthew Stead: It’s interesting. I think, uh, if you look at the airline industry, you’ve always had premium providers, and you’ve always had low-end providers, and I think there’s always a place for all of them. And so I re- I reckon they’ll find, I think they’ll find their place in, in the market and just, you know, it might just take a while. But they’ve got the strength, haven’t they? They’ve got the product. They’ve got the strength. So it’s just a matter [00:24:00] of time.  Allen Hall 2025: Yeah. I, I, I d- I do think eventually it will happen. But Vestas and, and Siemens Gamesa have done a pretty good job of controlling it, and wind Europe, honestly. Wind Europe has not been a proponent of a Chinese manufacturer in Europe, so that generally will help slow down any business plans they would have But at the same time, there’s a lot of opportunities around the world that’s not necessarily in Europe, right? South America has strong ties with China. They’re– And Chinese companies are, are starting production in China. There’s a lot th- things happening there. You’re gonna see that in Africa and other places. So it doesn’t necessarily have to happen in Europe, which is, I think Europeans and Americans think, “Well, we can’t have China in those locales.” Fine. But it isn’t like China doesn’t have other opportunities to, to sell turbines or solar panels or batteries. There are plenty places on the planet where  Matthew Stead: people that  Allen Hall 2025: need  Matthew Stead: lower cost energy, and they’re gonna find them. Um, I did attend a, a panel [00:25:00] discussion on Türkiye, um, and the growth, and there was a lot of growth in Türkiye around onshore and offshore. And so maybe Mingyang, that might be a, a place, um, for them to, to start, you know, on the doorstep of, of Europe. The stepping stone, so to speak. Stepping country.  Allen Hall 2025: Is there risk in that, uh, uh, if, uh, uh, Mingyang decided to put a plant in Türkiye? Is, does that come with some political aspect? Because I, I, I don’t remember. Türkiye t-tends to play, uh, uh, k- kind of like Switzerland in, in terms of working with different, uh, political systems over time. Yeah.  Matthew Stead: I, I’ve had a bit more to do with a few, a few, um, sort of organizations in Türkiye recently and, um, you know, it’s highly professional, highly, you know, logical, and so I, I can’t see why it’d be a challenge. So I think, yeah, that stepping stone into Europe might be a, a logical way to go. Well, maybe  Allen Hall 2025: we’ll see that in the next [00:26:00] couple of months. I don’t know. There’s gonna be a lot to happen there. There’s so much money being spent in Europe on renewables, wind, solar, battery, all the above, that there’s plenty of opportunity, and every company that has a product that’s gonna be trying to sell it in Europe right now. It’s a smart move. Absolutely.  Matthew Stead: I think the other thing that we’ll probably be talking about a little bit more is EV trucks or, you know, electric trucks.  Allen Hall 2025: You think so?  Matthew Stead: I reckon we’ll be talking more and more about electric trucks.  Allen Hall 2025: Does Europe even have a, a le- a real true EV tractor-trailer, large truck? What do they call… I guess they call it a lorry.  Matthew Stead: I don’t think yet. But that’s why I’m saying I think this is a topic that’s gonna raise itself. Um, I’ve, I’ve seen some numbers recently which says that it’s a bit of a no-brainer to go from diesel to, um, to battery now.  Allen Hall 2025: So is Tesla gonna be the, the winner there just because of their, I don’t even what they call it, the Tesla truck? Is that what they call that now?  Matthew Stead: Not the Cybertruck, the, the truck truck.  Allen Hall 2025: Electric semi-truck. There you go. [00:27:00] Thank you, producer Claire.  Matthew Stead: I think you’ve gotta watch, you know, you’ve gotta watch BYD and a few of the other, the other, um, other companies.  Allen Hall 2025: Do they have something as large as what, uh, Tesla is offering today? Because Tesla is offering a true semi or tractor-trailer  Matthew Stead: I, I, I must admit I’m not a, a huge expert on the topic, but I’m sure Rosemary is.  Allen Hall 2025: She drives the big rigs? Is that what she’s doing?  Matthew Stead: But I think we– Yeah, I think, I think it’s an in-interesting thing to watch because, um, certainly fuel prices in Australia are definitely pushing, um, this idea of, um, electric trucks. Allen Hall 2025: Yeah, diesel prices are really high in the States. I- if they’re high in the States, I can’t even imagine what they are in Europe or Australia. They must be through the roof. So if you have a diesel vehicle, although they run forever and are pretty efficient, the price of fuel is insane right now.  Matthew Stead: And, you know, if you, if you take that a step further into mining, so Twiggy Forest, um, and Fortescue, you know, switching to [00:28:00] electric, uh, trucks and electric mining, yeah, it makes sense. Allen Hall 2025: Does the math work out on that? Uh, obviously Fortescue is taking, uh, really a pretty significant risk in that they’re developing their own electricity generation sites via wind and solar and battery, the whole thing, and they’re converting some of their larger vehicles to electric. Does that hold a big risk, or is this just a financial no-brainer, particularly when diesel prices are so high? Matthew Stead: Yeah, I think it’s a financial no-brainer. Uh, and that’s why partly I think we’ll be talking about trucks because, you know, once the finances make sense, um, there’ll be a faster transition. And I think, you know, Fortescue is not a silly company.  Allen Hall 2025: Fortescue is willing to dabble, right? So they’re willing to, to see where the technology is and spend a little bit of money and possibly it works out, right? I think there’s– you have to take a little bit of risk if you’re in that business because you are spending so much money on fuel. [00:29:00] You can spend a couple million dollars playing in different areas to pick an eventual winner. Obviously, they’re gonna– Well, it’s not obvious at the moment, but it, it seems obvious to us being on the electricity side. Electricity is gonna be the answer. Renewable energy is gonna be the easy way to do it, the lowest cost way to do it. There you go. Go do it. Well, American Clean Power’s event, uh, which is in Houston this year, will be happening June 1st through the 4th at the convention center downtown in Houston. It’s gonna be warm, everybody, so if you’re traveling from a cooler country like Denmark to Houston, bring something cool to wear. It will be warm in June. It, it– Houston is just a very warm place, and it’s quite humid, so it’ll, it’ll be a, a unique environment. However, it does sound like there’s gonna be a, a, an– A number of interesting companies and a lot of people that are attending that event this year, and one of them is gonna be Matthew and EOLOGIX-PING with Weather Guard Lightning Tech will [00:30:00] both be down at the event in a booth and seeing everybody and, and, and meeting a whole bunch of, of, uh, new people that are getting into the industry, which is, to me, is always the fun part. Like, we just meet so many really fun people. Uh, and Matthew, you know, we had a discussion internally about that, like, uh, our, our new, uh, chief commercial officer, Nikki Briggs, has been commenting. We’ve been talking to so many operators around the world, and after every, uh, little meeting briefing that we have, we do a post-briefing, and she goes, “They were so nice.” And I s- yes, Nikki, the wind industry people are fantastic to work with. Like, they’re all focused on doing something positive, and they’re trying to, to do it the best that they can. And there’s a lot of constraints to it, and they’re making a number of hard decisions. But when we all come together at American Clean Power here in the States, hey, we can kinda commiserate and [00:31:00] talk about what’s happening and catch up. And I feel like we need a little bit of catch-up time in this industry, particularly here in the United States.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. Yeah. I, I think, um, I, I definitely agree. And I, I found, you know, previously I used to work in the construction industry and work with engineers and, you know, transport, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And actually, I found that the renewable industry, there’s a lot of really open people, really happy to have a discussion, um, not the big egos, so I completely agree. And, um, I’m thinking back, um, I first met people in the wind industry in, you know, around 2012, 2013, and, you know, I still know a number of those people and really appreciate catching up with them. Um, so actually, Berend van der Pol was probably one of the first, and, uh, Birgit Junker was, um, maybe one of the second, so yeah. And I’m definitely looking forward to ACP.  Allen Hall 2025: If you’re, if you’re down in Houston at American Clean Power, definitely stop by a- and say hi to everybody from [00:32:00]EOLOGIX-PING and Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and hey, learn about all the things that are going on because both companies have new products that’ll, were gonna be announced at the site. Uh, we’re already getting inundated with requests on the Weather Guard side. It’s insane. We’re telling people, like, “Slow down, slow down, slow down. We’ll, we’ll, we’ll talk to you about it when we get to Houston.” But, uh, expect a very attentive audience this year, which is exciting.

Lisa McInnes-Smith is in the top echelon of corporate speakers, having presented live to more than 2½ million people across 30 countries. This episode we explore: How do we deal with conflict? How do we build trust? How do we get rid of dysfunctional behaviors in a team? How do we build a sense of unity and community when the company works in silos? Here's the link to the video version on YouTube: ⁠https://youtu.be/uRfmpAd8cW8 ⁠ Ask yourselves, "Is it them, or is it how we're feeding them the information? Do they feel like they're not trusted? Are our expectations not clear?" You can say to them, "These are the expectations that we had of you when you came into this position. This is what we're observing. Can you explain to me why you agreed to these behaviors but now are not demonstrating them in this environment?" TALKING POINTS [5:31] You can't trust people you don't know and if you don't know them and know the way they work, the way they think, then you can't work well together. Teaching people how to build trust is an initial thing. [7:05] It's not the person, it's just something they've got into the habit of doing and maybe they need to get out of that habit. [9.30] We all have bad habits, but there's one right now that's driving us crazy and we need to talk about it. [15:42] You can have a third person in the conversation, an observer who doesn't participate. And when we're going to talk about something that's really tough, hen it might be good to have somebody there witnessing it. [18:19] I'm trying to build better people, I'm trying to build better teams and I'm trying to teach leaders how to build those teams by having the conversations that need to be had without people feeling like they're being demeaned or disrespected. [19:00] It's really good to turn up at a meeting where there's a chance of conflict with your notepad and things that you need to say. And when they say, “These are some of my reasons”, then you write them down. Say, “So let me just capture that.” [20:00] What sort of biases should someone self-reflect to check if they're operating under a false bias? [22:44] Finding team players versus kingdom builders. [23:00} Find colleagues who can coach each other. The wisdom we need is usually already in the organization. We just don't know each other well enough to be able to trust each other with our problems.   ABOUT LISA McINNES-SMITH Lisa McInnes-Smith is in the top echelon of corporate speakers, having presented live to more than 2½ million people across 30 countries.

Scott Dutton is the Conflict Whisperer; a global expert on difficult conversations, Conflict intelligence®, mediation, emotional intelligence and workplace culture. As a professional speaker he's known as the fun-maker and spoken to over 25,000 professionals as a speaker or facilitator. Q. What makes a culture unravel? What toxic behavior is most prevalent? Where there's an us-and-them culture, where it gets very much management vs. staff, where people do not feel comfortable or safe to have those difficult conversations. Teams need to have a model on how to have those difficult conversations. one I use is based on a Harvard model; start by asking questions to understand. A trap in difficult conversations is if they start provoking the other person and put them on the back foot then - you get defensiveness. It's being mindful about how you start, and also your tone and body language and how that comes across; all those things play a part in whether that conversation is going to go well or not. The purpose initially is to understand each other before starting to look at solutions. It's going in open, curious, trying to understand the other, them understanding you, and then we find a way forward. If everyone has a model like that it makes it easier. “Calling it out” is when you see something inappropriate, you go, 'Hey, hang on there, I'm uncomfortable with that." You make it clear. “Calling it in” is more subtle. What it is, I might see you raise an eye at someone in the meeting, or do something more subtle and I might say, “I just wondered, in the meeting I saw you make an interesting facial expression when Mary was talking. I'm just wondering what was going on for you there?" I'm not coming in with judgment. I'm coming in with a soft curiosity and saying, "Hey what's going on there? I saw that."

[21:51] To view the Slideshow go HERE: [37:51] "And when I start to see the brilliant genius and gift in others, guess what? I get to see it in myself. Exactly. And now I can also we all experience, this is the collective that I believe is missing in the world of zero sum game. "That's the three-dimensional world - I win, you lose, I get promoted. You don't. This is a whole different way of acting. And so I think it's, it's really important. And then the other part of it is that we will work with you on your business issues. "So coming out of global billion dollar publicly traded multinational companies having done global turnarounds of brands, having done five start-ups, having a tech background with EDS and oracle, having a consulting background in Mckinsey methodology and a T Carney. I've seen a lot of movies, but then we also have other people who come in with business expertise that you get the benefit of. "So it's a very dynamic um environment. "So that's one council and the other council that I have is what I'm calling the leader operating system. And this is where we work with vice presidents, managers, directors, people who aspire to the C suite.

Most startups fail not because of a bad product, poor timing, or mismanaged cash, but because of people problems: conflicts over strategy, decision-making, and team culture. Even the smartest entrepreneurs have been derailed by soft problems: •         How do you fire a loyal friend who's not up to par? •         How do you motivate your team to give their all? •         What happens when egos and emotions overpower facts and reason? Martin Gonzalez co-authored ''The Bonfire Moment'' with Josh Yellin; the book launches today. https://amzn.to/3UYnMPQ   To view this episode on YouTube go HERE: https://youtu.be/qOTcFbJEyeA To visit the YouTube channel go HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@manageselfleadotherspodcast?sub_confirmation=1 === 7 key strategies are cornerstones of The Bonfire Moment feedback structure:   1 Treat people like volunteers 2 Protect the team from distractions 3 Invite disagreement 4 Minimize unnecessary micromanagement 5 Preserve interpersonal equity 6 Keep pace with expertise 7 Overcome discouragement === 4 TRAPS – The trap of Speed The trap of the Inner Circle The trap of the Maverick Mindset The trap of Confidence   Why maverick ideas can lead startups into trouble? What are the 6 most common maverick beliefs?   1. The myth of equal equity: Co-founders should receive equal equity in return for equal commitment and equal contributions.   2. The myth of shared command: Power and decision-making should be shared equally among cofounders.     3. The myth of scaling without hierarchy: Layers of management should be avoided as the company grows, because they create bureaucracy and slow progress.   4. The myth of structural harmony: Disputes between functional roles represent a failure point that should be fixed.   5. The myth of conflict-free growth. A strong culture should be able to minimize or even prevent all interpersonal conflict, even as the team grows.   6. The myth of sustained heroics: Heroic extra effort is necessary for the long haul, not just during the startup's earliest months. The Bonfire Moment workshop has proven effective with hundreds of teams of all sizes around the world—from the smallest startups to large organizations—significantly improving their cohesion, focus and effectiveness.

AI's next inflection point is from employee experimentation to organizational transformation. This episode is with CEO and industry expert, Michelle Tinsley. You can watch the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/6RbqomCkCfw TALKING POINTS [1:39] What do you find teams are not doing that they should be doing with AI implementation? [5:51] How can organizations benefit by becoming early adopters, and how can they use that expertise to become industry role models? [6:38 ]How do you address customer complaints about stock shortages when managing multiple warehouses across the country? [8:53] Who is the right person in my company to speak with your team for an assessment? [9:15] How can we get in touch with you? [10:50] A lot of times we're brought in by the CEO or the COO because they see where productivity can be gained. They have that owner's philosophy of, I've got to transform my company or I won't be here in 4 to 6 years. [11:09] What are the challenges when businesses store their data in the cloud? [11:16] How does a modern cloud architecture, such as a centralized data warehouse, make accessing data easier? Are the APIs ready to be tapped into, or do new secure portals need to be created to access the data? Do we have to create secure APIs to get out the data? [11:46] Can I just share with you a quote by Seth Godin.? ‘'AI is the biggest change in our world since the invention of electricity, a bigger change than the internet. If you're not using it for half an hour a day, you don't understand. You should. You need to put it on your calendar and go use it. Let that sink in for a moment.'' [14:55] One of the tactics for innovation is to identify the top 20% of constraints hindering progress, the roadblocks. If you were going to consult with somebody from an organization, what would be the first question you would ask them? What are your pain points? Where are you losing yield? Where are you losing time? [15:58] How might fear prevent people from moving forward thinking that AI is going to replace them? [20:01] Let's close with another case study to the listener visualize what it is we can do to be in alignment with the AI revolution. === ABOUT MICHELLE TINSLEY, CEO, Sciata   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-tinsley/   Sciata  https://www.sciata.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/company/sciata/   Sciata brings more than a decade of experience providing specialists and custom software and analytics to accelerate change within organizations. === ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY To learn more about face-to-face training programs with Nina Sunday or one of the experienced Facilitators from Brainpower Training Pty Ltd in Australia Pacific, visit: https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/signature-programs/   To visit Nina Sunday's speaker site for global in-person speaking bookings visit: https://www.ninasunday.com/   Connect with Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/   To subscribe to Nina Sunday's personal blog go to https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/ and scroll to bottom of the page to register.

Early in his career, he delved into hematology at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital, focusing on lymphoma and leukemia, before undertaking a fellowship in retrovirology with Professor Courtenay Bartholomew during what he fondly recalls as the "golden age" of retrovirus research from 1986 to 1990. Dr. Cleghorn was trained in internal medicine and infectious diseases, culminating in a fellowship at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the National Cancer Institute. His academic achievements were further bolstered by a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, where he was inducted into the Alpha Delta Omega honor society. His journey led him through significant roles at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Medical Center/Institute of Human Virology. At the latter, he served as Assistant Professor of Epidemiology & Prevention from 1996 to 2004, fostering extensive collaborations with the Medical Research Foundation of Trinidad and Tobago and the University of the West Indies, where he also served as an external examiner. Respected as health diplomat, Dr. Cleghorn was Global Head of Palladium until his retirement in June 2024, he led interdisciplinary teams across the U.S., Europe, Middle East, and Australia/Pacific, pioneering transformative health programs. His work spanned strategy execution consulting, international consulting, impact investment, and training, focusing on sustainable health systems, implementation science, and health promotion. Dr. Cleghorn has been recognized as a thought leader and systems thinker in global health systems, population health, HIV/AIDS, infectious diseases, pathogenesis, and clinical vaccine trials. His expertise earned him numerous accolades, a nominee for the SEA Crystal award in Spain, and a winner in the Gabriella Award in Chile, including the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Global Health Research and Delivery in 2023. His philanthropic endeavors underscore his commitment to medical education and community welfare. His generous donation to the University of the West Indies Medical Alumni Association established an endowment for scholarships, reflecting his dedication to nurturing future medical professionals. Also an humanitarian he has mentored countless young health professionals and contributed significantly to global health diplomacy. His compassion and dedication to improving healthcare, especially in underserved communities like his native Trinidad, exemplify his profound commitment to humanity. In sum, Dr. Farley R. Cleghorn's career is a testament to the transformative power of medicine and public health, driven by a steadfast belief in the potential of healthcare to enrich lives globally. His legacy as a scholar, mentor, and advocate for equitable healthcare continues to inspire generations of healthcare professionals worldwide. As Chris LeGrand, Chief Executive Officer at BroadReach Group, who has known him for 20 years, serving alongside in Futures Group, now The Palladium, as chief technical officer, accomplishing many things together said……“More than his brilliance and professional impact, what I have come to love of Farley is his heart. Farley has a heart for humans and our human condition. Where others see only human tragedy and despair Farley sees community and possibility”

Self-leadership is the practice of intentionally influencing your thinking and feeling towards your objectives.

Ep139 Leaders Using Both Sides of the Brain, with Sonia Jeantet Author of The Integrative Brain, Sonia Jeantet developed the Integrative Leader model, leveraging the full potential of one's thinking abilities through wholebrain thinking. Neuropsychology demonstrates that the human brain cannot ignore a question. Questions activate the relevant parts of the brain to provide relevant answers. The trick is to know what questions to ask! [9:00] An integrative leader is going to take a look at the business. It's almost like, if you were doing a body scan and you were trying to see like, well, what parts of is, is my head healthy, is my heart healthy, is my stomach healthy? Start wherever you want to start. Ideally, you start in the left brain because that's where it requires more of the analytical part. And so you basically say like, so what business are we in? What is it that we really do here? What is it that we really are known for? Is that still relevant today? And then the next one would be to go to the right brain and try something else is going to the why. And basically, it's the understand, why are we doing this? Why are we using this technology? Why are we in a specific market? Why? Why would . . .? Why do our . . . ? e.g. why do our clients use our products? Why do they use our services? So then at that point in time, you sort of the overall bigger picture of the business. Now, let's go into how . . . How would we implement it? return on uh implementation who should be involved with this, who, who are, who should be on the project, who are our clients, who do we need to interact with in order to make this happen? And then stepping outside of that into the bigger picture, taking all four quadrants into consideration is so based on all of that, Where are we? Are we at the beginning phase? Are we at the end of a particular era? Do we need to start thinking about doing something differently? And then the last one is so when do we do this? When do we launch, when do we make this happen?

Episode 130 is with Mel Kettle, author of "The Social Association" and "Fully Connected'. TALKING POINTS Not only do you give feedback down, you give it across and you give it up as well. Giving feedback is one skill set, while how to receive feedback is just as important. When you hear the word feedback, how do you react? “Feedback” is one of those words that can be polarizing and cause panic. I encourage leaders to create a culture of conversation within their organization so that they never have to use the word feedback. How do I have a conversation with my manager who doesn't listen? If you don't have a trusted relationship with your manager, then that's going to be a difficult conversation. What do you do when you're on the receiving end of that difficult conversation? Mel Kettle has a five-step feedback framework.

Ep129 we speak with Lynne Cazaly and her book, "Sync Async" < https://amzn.to/43Q3QkO > which makes a distinction between synchronous and asynchronous work. The author urges people to consider more asynchronous ways of working. There will always be too much to do and not enough time to do it. Putting practical sync async techniques to work can make your work easier . . . and the rest of life better. Consider: ·     Do we really need everyone at the same meeting at the same time? (synchronous work) ·      Could some people contribute prior to, or after the meeting or begin working on tasks outside of a meeting? (asynchronous work). A growing number of teams and businesses are learning and experiencing the value of deliberately working in sync / async ways. That is, some work is completed synchronously - at the same time with other people; and other elements of work completed asynchronously - at a time and in a way that suits them. In this conversation with author Lynne Cazaly, we discuss how, why and when to work in sync and async ways ·      tools for making great async progress ·      ways to identify the type of work you prefer ·      how to make daily progress easier - get started on things that have stopped and accelerate things that have slowed. You don't need to wait for a culture change or for someone to give you the go-ahead on this. You can start working better in both sync and async ways from today. ABOUT LYNNE CAZALY Lynne Cazaly from Melbourne, Australia, is an international keynote speaker, award-winning author and master facilitator. Lynne is author of 10 books including: "Sync Async: Making progress easier in the changing world of work." https://amzn.to/43Q3QkO Listen to Episode 31 of this podcast with Lynne Cazaly talking about Perfectionism and her book: "Ish: The Problem with our Pursuit for Perfection and the Life-Changing Practice of Good Enough.'" https://amzn.to/3vLCTlG An experienced radio broadcaster, presenter and producer, Lynne has presented 10,000+ hours on-air.

In Episode 127, I speak again with Thought Leader and Visionary Dan Silberberg around the evolving role of leadership in a world of disruption. There's a shift from focusing solely on productivity to valuing intelligence as the key competitive advantage. Multiple areas of disruption can be described with the VUCA framework.   A leader's full time job is global volatility. Another full time job is global uncertainty and unpredictability. Another full time job is unraveling complexity. And then the last one, just in case you didn't have enough to deal with, is ambiguity. The traditional hierarchical model is insufficient for dealing with such complexities. Dan advocates for an ecosystem approach where leaders become facilitators rather than top-down decision-makers. To be a great leader requires critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and lifelong learning. We need authentic organizational values, hiring based on cultural fit, personal authenticity in interviews. Leaders need to adapt to the rapidly changing landscape by fostering innovation, embracing ndiversity, and building trust within their organizations. TO CONTACT DAN SILBERBERG Tell Dan you heard him through Nina Sunday on the Manage Self, Lead Others podcast. https://entelechy.ai/product/leader-council/ https://entelechy.ai/contact/ https://pages.c-suitenetwork.com/the-leader-council ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY Connect with Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/ You can suggest a guest, ask a question, make a comment.

This episode I speak with Brian Bowman, learning strategist, capability expert and digital learning guru in Australia Pacific on how a leader can have a career conversation with their direct reports. When my company, Brainpower Training, won a tender to deliver customized Report Writing for Audit workshops in multiple cities for one of Australia's largest banks, Brian Bowman held a People and Culture role at that bank. We worked together closely to roll out those Report Writing programs. TALKING POINTS [6:40] So the career conversation for the leader is actually themselves having to step out of the day-to-day and ask, “Where do you want to go?” [7:30] Good questions to ask . . . “What brings you joy?” Because it gets people to think about, “When I'm in flow, when I'm really enjoying work, this is what I'm doing.” ”What are you drawn to?” is another really great question. People will naturally gravitate across their work day to things they really love and enjoy doing. You can ask people, “What do you want to do at work?” [11:00] The joy question can be offset with, “What do you hate doing?” It's such a brilliant way of exploring that career conversation. [13:00] Careers aren't linear, they might do a bit over here or something there. [14:00] People have different stages of their career. There might be a 3-year cycle. Charles Handy talks about the Sigmoid Curve, the S-curve. [15:46] Don't wait for someone's motivation to wane; change before you have to, always give a sense of progression to people in their career. To re-motivate people, start a second curve, [16:44] It's an interesting conundrum for leaders, how do I help people grow and drive their career? I want to retain and deliver great work across an organization but training people up might make them leave. [18:19] In the future it's helping people translate their impact in their career where they've been and what they would also bring to that next cycle of impact. [19:16] Younger people might ask for a promotion or more money, but maybe they haven't sailed in the storm yet. They say things like, “I do the same work as . . .” another. "Well, the other has 15 years' experience and hoisted the sails in the storm and survived and sailed it. Yes, you are doing the same job. But I know if something went wrong, they'll manage it appropriately." [21:10] Gallup strengths and the top 5. === ABOUT BRIAN BOWMAN Contact Brian Bowman via LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbowman2/ ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@manageselfleadotherspodcast?sub_confirmation=1   Connect Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/ You can suggest a guest, ask a question, make a comment.   To subscribe to Nina Sunday's personal blog go to https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/ To register, scroll form at bottom of page.   Nina Sunday's training company website: https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/signature-programs/ delivering people skills programs face-to-face, Australia-wide on: Leadership, Change, Productivity, Written Communication, Customer Service . . . and more.

Leaders harnessing the essence of appreciation are rewarded with higher engagement and trust. My guest, Avi Liran, has spent a decade researching Appreciation. Fascinated by the power of positivity and ability of words and tone to transform, Avi Liran is a super optimist believing in igniting inner joy, in people's lives and experiences. Avi says, “In my workshop, we work a few hours on Appreciation. Each person writes on an envelope the date, they sign, they write their own name on the envelope, and then they put the envelope to the right, and they get another envelope with the name of another person. And then they write for the next person how much they appreciate them, as many things as possible. And when they receive it, I ask them 2 questions. One question is, “How do you feel?” And the second question, “What surprised you?” Nina, you would be amazed how many people are totally surprised that other people appreciate them. They never knew how much people appreciate them. They thought they were transparent; and that's wrong, because people do appreciate people.

Phenomenology is your lived experience of being in the world. Dan Silberberg makes Phenomenology understandable e.g. you might show up with anger, or without much of a voice, or all you want to do is please others. To become a better leader, understand your own phenomenology, how you show up in the world.   You can view Dan Silberberg's programs, the 12-month Leader Council or 13-week Leader Program to 2-day workshops, 1-on-1 coaching at https://entelechy.ai/ Go to the Programs tab. (Tell them Nina Sunday referred you.)   TALKING POINTS  [5:08] The question is not, ''What is the meaning to life? The question is, ''What is the meaning you're giving to your life?''    [6:35] Certain people get fired and they're devastated. The meaning they bring to it is, ''I'm not worthy. I'm not capable. I can't hold a job.'' Another person's meaning is, ''I meant to leave. They actually help me to do the business I've always had in my heart.'' It's the same event, but it has a different meaning.      [13:10] Phenomenologically, are you living in your dream or living in somebody else's? If you don't build your dream, then you're helping others build theirs.      [13:54] Phenomenology describes 'being thrown in the world''.     I got thrown into the family. I got thrown into the parents I got thrown into a great zip code or not-so-good zip code. I got thrown into a particular ethnicity, a particular gender, all these things. I had no say in it.   [34:19] As a leader, as you show up dealing with people, are they arguing with you all the time? Are they silent? Are they just hoping to get away from you? Do they freeze and just let you go and walk all over them? What reaction are they having?   [40:45] I'm looking for 12 - 15 people in a C-Suite role who are committed to the journey to open up and have a life greater than anything they could have imagined. ===   Dan Silberberg's leadership programs start soon: 12-month Leader Council - only 12 - 15 individuals in a C-Suite role. 13-week Leader program 2-day Paradigm Shift workshop 1-on-1 coaching   Find out more https://entelechy.ai/ select the PROGRAMS tab.   Working with Dan could be the most exciting professional development of your career - and your life.

In episode 115 I'm speaking with Carol Marzouk, the Executive Lion Tamer. According to Carol, ''We're all icebergs. We have stuff everyone sees and then stuff that they don't. The trick is to get underneath the iceberg in a non-invasive way so you understand people's currency. Even if you've been with them for 30 years, you can ask questions like, ‘'You know, I know we've worked together for a long time, and shame on me for not asking sooner, but I've been thinking about how important you are to me. And I want to know, where do you see yourself in a year?''   TALKING POINTS [2:15] What's the story around how you gained the title, ‘'Executive Lion Tamer'' please Carol?   [8:50] There are 3 types of aggressive behavior: ·      physical and verbal aggression ·      active aggression ·      passive aggression.   [25:12] Many times we'll say that person just doesn't listen. A tool to use is to listen with a pen. You can say, ‘'What you're saying is so important to me that I'm going to write down as much as I can.'' [27:44] When you go through the stages of engage and inspire, then the last piece is unite, unite the team. And this is where you really not only have culture by design, you design your culture, bringing everyone together and uniting them as a cohesive team that has each other's backs. F [30:43] I should be asking them about where they want to head in their career. You ask them, what are your motivators? What gets you excited? How do you like to learn? How do you like to complete projects? Do you like to be told step by step or told just the outcome and then you figure out the how? It's having these dialogues to get underneath the surface and make people feel valued.

In this episode of the Anthropology in Business podcast, Lee Wilson speaks with Matt Artz about his career as a business anthropologist. The conversation covers Lee's journey from studying Indonesian martial arts to working in global development. About Less Wilson Lee Wilson specializes in working with organizations and their leaders to help them understand and drive sustainable change. He has pioneered innovative, participatory approaches to research and implementation grounded in applied ethnography and anthropological thinking. Key to the success of these approaches is detailed analysis of the cultural patterns that shape the ways we think about and act in the world. His approach is highly participatory and works to put people back into strategy. He works with clients to break down silos, to ensure all voices are heard (irrespective of seniority), and help people understand organizational challenges from standpoints other than their own. He creates secure environments for issues to be raised for collective resolution – putting problem-solving and consequent ownership for change into the hands of participants. His work has spanned three continents (UK/Europe, Asia, and Australia/Pacific) with a diverse array of partners and clients including government agencies, the United Nations, art organizations, corporate entities, law enforcement agencies, think tanks, and NGOs.

In a full episode, Allan and Darren return to the perennial topics of Australian foreign policy—our relationships with the United States and China, with events of recent weeks offering yet another illustration of how complex and challenging these relations are. As a result of the US Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense visiting Sydney for AUSMIN in early August, Australia was asked to contribute to (another) military operation in the Middle East, a very controversial proposal for stationing US missiles in Australia was floated, and China came in for much American criticism. Was this Australia being “squeezed” by Washington, and how did the government handle it? Australia’s bilateral relationship with China is also making headlines, in particular because of Andrew Hastie MP’s op-ed in which he invoked a controversial analogy involving Germany and the Maginot Line. Meanwhile, duelling protests are being carried out on Australian soil regarding Hong Kong. Allan and Darren grapple with these questions, and finish the episode by covering PM Scott Morrison’s trip to Tuvalu for the Pacific Islands Forum, which did not go as he would have hoped with climate change being the major fault line between Australia and its South Pacific family.

Maddy May has definitely been through her fair share of tough times. And then some. I've always said adversity builds character. People who have depth rarely achieve it easily. The thing that struck me most about Maddy was that she was able to retell the stories of the ordeals she had been through without getting choked up, and to me that means she's truly been able to overcome them.
