These emotional moments tend to ripple into so many areas of our lives — from our relationships to how we view ourselves and even how we show up at work.But here's the good news: feeling our emotions is perfectly okay. What truly matters is how we respond to them.Today's guest is Dr. Alison Cook — a psychologist, podcast host, and the author of several books, including her latest, I Shouldn't Feel This Way: Name What's Hard, Tame Your Guilt, and Transform Self-Sabotage into Brave Action.

SummaryThe International Tunnelling Association (ITA) plays a critical role in global infrastructure, ensuring clean water, sewage systems, and transport for millions while contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But behind the technical achievements lies a deeper challenge—modernizing an industry traditionally dominated by European, American, and Australian professionals.In this episode of NGO Soul + Strategy, I sit down with Arnold Dix, President of ITA, to discuss his iconoclastic leadership approach in making tunneling a more diverse and inclusive profession. Arnold has actively pushed for greater representation of women, people of color, and young engineers, challenging traditional power structures and advocating for regional voices.As a leader in a global membership-based professional association, Arnold cannot mandate change—he must influence, persuade, and lead by example. What does it take to challenge entrenched norms, navigate resistance, and truly drive transformation? Listen in to find out.Arnold's BioPresident of the International Tunnelling Association (ITA), leading efforts to modernize and diversify the professionLawyer, engineer, and scientist, bringing a multidisciplinary perspective to underground infrastructure developmentChampion for diversity in engineering, working to increase representation of women, young engineers, and professionals from non-Western regionsGlobal infrastructure expert, contributing to sustainable underground solutions worldwideWe DiscussReforming a global professional association: How Arnold has worked to decentralize power and amplify regional voicesBreaking industry norms: Making tunneling less exclusive and more diverse, bringing in women, younger professionals, and engineers of colorLeading without authority: The challenge of influencing rather than mandating change in a global membership-based associationManaging resistance: How traditional power centers within the industry have responded to his leadership and reformsLessons in delegation: What Arnold would do differently if he could start againThe bigger picture: How underground infrastructure development supports global dignity and the UN SDGsQuotes“I am a change man.”ResourcesITA-AITESArnold's BookConnect with Arnold Dix on LinkedInFollow Arnold on Facbook 'International man of mystery' who saved men from Indian tunnel collapse | Australian Story

Business Succession: Inherited Trauma and Family Wealth - Generational Wealth and Financial Successhttp://www.ValuationPodcast.com https://www.valuationmediation.com Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com, where we explore the intricate world of business valuation and the complex dynamics of family wealth. I'm Melissa Gragg, a seasoned valuation expert and divorce financial mediator from St. Louis, Missouri. Today, we delve into the profound topic of inherited trauma and its influence on family wealth with special guest Ruschelle Khanna. Ruschelle, an esteemed family advisor, mediator, and therapist, brings her expertise and her new book, "Inherited Trauma and Family Wealth," to the table, discussing how deep-seated family issues can affect financial security and business succession.Questions Discussed: Can you explain what inherited trauma is and how it specifically impacts financial behaviors?What is the impact of inherited trauma / generational patterns on our financial well-being?What is one immediate step someone can take today to break free from generational financial trauma?How can people create a new financial legacy without guilt or fear of repeating past mistakes?If you could give one piece of advice to someone trying to rewrite their financial story, what would it be?Key Podcast Takeaways:Understanding Inherited Trauma: Inherited trauma, as Ruschelle explains, isn't just about the psychological patterns passed down through generations; it also includes actual genetic memories and traumas that manifest in family behaviors and personal fears that seem unlinked to one's own experiences.The Impact on Financial Behavior: Inherited trauma can significantly influence financial decisions and behaviors. Ruschelle discusses how these traumas can lead to profound fears and anxieties about money, which may not always be conscious but deeply affect how individuals and families manage their wealth.Identifying Inherited Trauma: Identifying whether a fear or behavior is a result of inherited trauma can be tricky. Ruschelle suggests looking at the age when certain fears manifest—often mirroring the age of a past family trauma—as a clue to their origins.Approaching Financial Wellbeing: Ruschelle outlines practical steps for addressing inherited financial traumas, such as understanding the specific ways trauma affects one's sense of security, emotional connection to money, and ability to make sound financial decisions.Therapeutic Solutions and Family Governance: Ruschelle advocates for both traditional therapeutic approaches and practical measures like setting up strong family governance structures to manage and mitigate the effects of inherited trauma on family wealth and business operations.Connect with Ruschelle: https://www.ruschellekhanna.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruschelle-khanna-lifestyle-for-legacy/Buy Ruschelle's book here:https://www.lifestyleforlegacy.com/bookConnect with Melissa:Melissa Gragg CVA, MAFFExpert testimony for financial and valuation issues Bridge Valuation Partners, LLC melissa@bridgevaluation.com http://www.BridgeValuation.com http://www.ValuationPodcast.com http://www.MediatorPodcast.com https://www.valuationmediation.com https://www.thedivorceallies.com/Cell: (314) 541-8163Support the show

In this episode of The Paul Taylor Podcast, I sit down with Jason Silver, author of "Your Grass is Greener," for a masterclass in building thriving workplaces and meaningful careers. Drawing from his extensive startup experience and behavioural science background, Jason challenges conventional wisdom about leadership, revealing why hiring for character trumps skills and how excessive consensus-seeking can paralyse organisations. We explore fascinating personal experiments in mindfulness and productivity, dissect the subtle ways workplace decisions go wrong, and uncover how giving people true autonomy can transform both results and job satisfaction. Whether you're leading a team, building a company, or seeking more fulfilment in your career, this conversation offers evidence-based insights and practical strategies for creating better outcomes at work and in life. Key Topics: Start-up Wisdom: What works and what doesn't in growing companies Character-Based Leadership: Why values matter more than skills Personal Development Experiments: Learning from personal experiments and failures Mindfulness Practices: Making meditation and journaling work for you Workplace Decision-Making: Moving past endless meetings and consensus Professional Autonomy: Letting people choose how they work best Behavioural Science in the Workplace: How our brain affects workplace choices Key Takeaways: Choose people based on who they are, not just what they can do. Remove those who don't match your values quickly. Don't wait for everyone to agree. Have healthy debates, make clear choices, and move forward. Write down your goals each morning and reflect on your day each evening. Look out for people who say they support decisions but don't follow through with actions. Give your team freedom to choose how they complete tasks, rather than controlling every step. Try to find information that challenges what you think you know, rather than just confirming it. Make people and culture your top priority, not just an afterthought.

In 18th century America, this book was second in popularity only to the Bible.It was a favorite of many thinkers and leaders throughout history, including Emerson, Napoleon, Machiavelli, Nietzsche, and even President Truman.Yet, you probably haven't read it.It's Plutarch's Parallel Lives.If you're not familiar with Plutarch's Lives, you're in for a treat, as today's episode offers a great intro. My guest, Alex Petkas, found that even though he's a former classicist and professor, Plutarch's Lives is still a tough read, which is why he started a podcast, The Cost of Glory, to make it more accessible to people. He does the same thing on today's episode, sharing the background on Plutarch's set of biographies and its major themes. Alex explains why Plutarch thought that biography was a powerful way to transmit morals and how the Homeric virtue he had in mind differed from that of just having good, upstanding character. Alex then gives us a taste of Plutarch as we discuss the lives of two obscure Greek and Roman figures. We end our conversation with how to get started studying Plutarch yourself.Resources Related to the PodcastCost of Glory websiteAlex's resource on how to read Plutarch's Lives, with links to the mentioned Penguin editionsAlex's recommended episodes of the Cost of Glory podcast:Pompey I: Kid ButcherCrassus I: Richest Man in RomeAoM Article: An Intro to EnvyAoM Article: Envy, Ressentiment, and the Inversion of ValuesAoM Podcast #949: Unpacking The Emotion No One Likes to Talk AboutSullaEumenesSertoriusBlood and Thunder: The Epic Story of Kit Carson and the Conquest of the American West by Hampton Sides + AoM podcast episode about the bookConnect with Alex PetkasAlex on LinkedInAlex on XAlex on IG

What if the future of work is not just about humans collaborating with machines, but about creating entire organizations that operate through AI agents? In this episode of the Talking AI podcast, host Matt Paige unpacks this concept with Alan Wunsche, Managing Partner at Agentware AI and an expert in organizational change and emerging technologies. Together, they discuss the rise of "agentic organizations," where AI agents are not merely tools but integral members of the workforce, executing tasks autonomously and enhancing productivity.Alan draws parallels between the current AI revolution and historical technological advancements, such as the printing press. He explains how organizations are beginning to give AI agents more agency, allowing them to take on responsibilities and make decisions that were once the domain of human workers. They also discuss the challenges organizations face in implementing AI agents, the critical role of HR leaders in managing the transition, and lots more.

On the podcast today, we are joined by Dr. Arthur Rapkin (Art). Art is the author of newly released book 'Poison For Rats' and has been practicing acupuncture for 37 years. On the surface, Art's life story feels too unbelievable to be real - you can't help but feel skeptical. There's no way he pulled off an impersonation Bob Dylan scam or smuggled a ridiculous amount of drugs into the US through aerosol deodorant cans, or escaped Mexican Prison! But it's true, he has the receipts, and it's a reminder about how bizarre, strange, and surprisingly beautiful truth really is. We won't reveal it all, but this episode is well worth a listen. Art's story though is one of redemption and transformation. He discusses how these experiences shaped his approach to life and healing. The meaning he now finds in his work is deeply tied to his desire to help others and the sense of fulfillment it brings him. Through acupuncture, mentoring, and coaching, he continues to impact lives positively, drawing from his rich and diverse life experiences to guide and support others.Art's incredible life is documented in his book with photos and evidence, and is soon to be turned into a TV series after his story was purchased by a production agency.
