Workplaces across the board are increasingly challenged by complex problems that demand an overhaul of the way work itself is undertaken. AI, geopolitical tensions, shifting attitudes to work, intergenerational differences, the climate crisis and more can easily create internal rifts and tensions that are hard to overcome. Unless, of course, the organisation makes a full-blooded commitment to connection and community. In this episode, Jen, Dom and Cat chat with Adele McIntosh, VP of Internal Communication and Community at Arm. She shares why Arm chose to prioritise community, the benefits this has yielded and some of her top tips for creating community at work. As work becomes increasingly fast-paced and fragmented, creating and sustaining a sense of togetherness and belonging is vital. Internal communicators are ideally positioned to deliver this strategic value to their employers. Find Adele on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adelekmcintosh/

Empowering Creatives: How to Build Community, Strategy, and Success for Artists - Kre8 Spaces, LLC - ValuationPodcast.comWelcome to ValuationPodcast.com, a podcast and video series covering all things business and valuation. I'm Melissa Gragg, a financial mediator and valuation expert based in St. Louis, Missouri.Today's episode is a truly inspiring one. We're joined by Quintrel Brown, Dwayne Ferguson, and Christian Boyd—three creative entrepreneurs and founders of Kre8 Spaces, a production studio and community hub designed to empower artists, creators, and entrepreneurs. Their mission? To provide the tools, mentorship, and consistent support needed for sustainable creative and financial success.These three aren't just running a studio—they're building a movement. From mentorship to grants, production tools to business strategy, they're changing the way creatives launch and grow. Whether you're a young artist, a seasoned entrepreneur, or just someone passionate about supporting the arts, you'll want to hear their story.Key Takeaways:1. Community Is the CatalystKre8 Spaces was founded on a shared mission to uplift creatives—especially young and underserved artists—by providing not only tools but also mentorship and connection. Real growth happens in community, and this space gives artists a place to collaborate, stay accountable, and build lasting relationships.2. Strategy Over StardomTalent and tools aren't enough. The team emphasizes the importance of having a clear strategy: knowing your end goal, setting short-term targets, and building consistency. Viral moments mean little without the foundation to sustain and monetize them.3. Resources Go Beyond EquipmentWhile Kre8 Spaces offers state-of-the-art gear (like 4K cameras, podcast studios, and backdrops), the real value lies in what surrounds it: grant education, legal support, workshops, and mentorship. Creatives gain access to an ecosystem that helps them build sustainable income streams.4. Creativity Drives Economic ImpactInvesting in the arts uplifts entire communities. From tourism to tech, fashion to architecture, creativity fuels innovation and local pride. By supporting artists, cities like St. Louis can retain talent and stimulate cultural and economic growth.5. Start Small, Stay Consistent, Show UpPerfection isn't required—action is. The founders stress that many creators stall waiting for ideal conditions. Instead, focus on building momentum, learning from missteps, and aligning with people who elevate your mission. Success is built through persistence and presence.Visit Kre8 SpacesConnect with QuintrelConnect with DwayneConnect with ChristianMelissa Gragg is a seasoned financial mediator and business valuation expert with over 20 years of experience.

What is prayer? And why do it? People pray for all kinds of reasons, and in all kinds of ways: alone, together, aloud, in silence, from memory, or from instinct. But whatever form it takes, there's a reason prayer has been part of just about every spiritual tradition out there: its effects run deep. On this episode, we're digging into the science and spirit of prayer. We'll talk to neuroscientist Andrew Newberg about what prayer does to our minds and bodies, and how it helps shape us as people. And friend of the show Rabbi Shira Stutman will return to explore how people can find meaning, connection and growth through intentional practice, whatever their beliefs may be.Andrew Newberg is the director of research at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health and a physician at Jefferson University Hospital. He is the author of several books on the neuroscience of spirituality, including How God Changes Your Brain and The Rabbi's Brain.

Build Community, Not Just a Rolodex David Spinks draws a sharp line between networking and community-building, advocating for a shift in perspective: “The best way to actually build your network is to build community.” Rather than trying to know everyone, focus on connecting others and fostering environments of trust, belonging, and shared purpose. Introverts Can Be Master Networkers Matthew Pollard debunks the myth that extroversion is a prerequisite for networking success. His system is built on preparation, empathy, and curiosity—shifting the conversation from self-promotion to mission-driven dialogue: “The number one rule of networking is it's not about you... Focus on the change you want to see, not just what you do for money.” Call-to-Action Your One-Week Challenge: Reach out to someone in your network you haven't connected with in a while. Whether it's a past colleague, mentor, or someone you admire, send them a thoughtful, agenda-free message to check in and reconnect. You never know what doors that conversation might open.

What makes work meaningful, and how can leaders create that experience for their teams? Kevin is joined by Wes Adams and Tamara Myles, who state that their research shows nearly 50% of an employee's experience of meaning at work is tied to what their leaders do or fail to do. Meaningful work is the upstream factor that drives engagement, productivity, innovation, and the bottom-line results that organizations want. The conversation centers around the Three C's of Meaningful Work: Community – Creating authentic connections and a sense of belonging among team members, even in remote or hybrid work environments. Contribution – Helping employees see the impact of their work and making clear connections between daily tasks and larger organizational goals. Challenge – Supporting team members as they grow, learn, and take on meaningful tasks, balancing stretch assignments with strong support.

Too often, poor leadership in academic medicine drives people apart rather than connecting them. With that in mind, we invite Nausheen Jamal, MD, MBA, to our Faculty Factory Podcast this week to share pearls of wisdom from her own experience in building a leadership strategy aimed at bringing people together. Dr. Jamal currently serves as Professor & Harry Carothers Wiess Chair in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas. By specializing in the treatment of voice, swallowing, and airway disorders, Dr. Jamal addresses issues that hinder full communication. This makes it feel as though things are truly coming full circle as she shares insights on building community and connections in this chat. We hope you learn from her story to gain insights that help you see beyond what is in front of you and achieve great satisfaction in your own future career journey. Other important dynamics we explore in this interview include: The art of engaging in a "flow" state of work as a faculty member. Change management and adjusting your communication style to a new audience. Delegating versus simply “dumping” a workload on colleagues. Engaging faculty in the development of important administrative items, like a leave policy. “What I learned is that I have to adjust my approach to change according to the culture that is going to have to endure or undergo that change," Dr. Jamal said candidly in this interview.

Happy Monday! Today I get to introduce you to Elaine Willing, who is officially on staff as teh lead for our new PCS (Permanent Change of Station) initative. At Organize 365®, we've developed a course to help spouses, supporting their soldiers, to find community faster and make each move a little easier. I first met Elaine through her father in law at a home school co-op conference. He was sent to get a picture with me. Elaine found Organize 365® about 10 years ago when she was maxed out and looking for solutions. Then I got to meet Elaine and the rest is history! I share in her desire to help military spouses through the PCS process. Elaine has supported her husband for many years, is raising her three boys, and now it's her turn to do something that fills her cup! She sees how spouses just kind of circle in the lower levels of Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs and never get to rise to the level where you explore your purpose, what you are uniquely created to do. Elaine knows all too well about PCSing (13 times) and understands the struggle with #alltheemotions, #allthepaperwork and is eager to get to spouses organized and in community sooner. The Emotional Toll Elaine was very vulnerable in sharing her experience, to this point, being a military spouse. She shared aspects of her life I had never thought of! I never considered the friendships they have to build quickly and let go at a moment's notice. The grieving process you go through as you leave your current station (although she joked that sometimes you are relieved to leave if it just wasn't a good fit) and anxiety or excitement about what lies ahead with a new duty station. Think of how much you trust the people you put down for your children's emergency contact…Elaine has to find that stranger quickly, as all the forms continue to request it, as she gets her family settled in each new location. There's a different at home cadence with each location based on the soldier's new job. My jaw was on the floor as she explained to me how she got to fly home to see family. Yes they get free SA (space available) flights, but I'm not sure that's a flight I want to take. And their stations overseas, they've only had one car which made daily activities challenging with little ones in tow. All the Moving Pieces Oh the checklists we've accumulated and compiled to assist with the repetitive nature of PCS'ing. There are checklists for utilities, vehicles, homes, packing the house, and what not to pack. I included 10 steps to an organized move. When military families move, lots times they are living out of a suitcases for 30 days. You better believe there's a checklist for those suitcases. Some bases are equipped with a lending closet for basic things like maybe some toys for your kids or small appliances that weren't necessities. And then where do you get groceries in your new location (tricky for Elaine with her family having food allergies), house keepers, after school activities, sports, babysitters, and even for you to find friends. There's a checklist of services you'll need to find and establish. A lot of the post-move checklists you could review on the plane ride to your new duty station. The very last checklist “Just tell me what to do” for when you are drained but know you need to keep going. What to Expect Over the many moves, Elaine has found a way to mentally process PCS. She's figured out how to stop the spinning in your brain with the mention of PCS and turn it into productive actions. The workbook helps you to process your emotions and proactively make a plan for the relocation. PCS'ing can be a lonely isolating process that only builds in complexity as your family grows and you “survive” another duty station. We realize the need to get to community quicker in these moves. The places Elaine has been pained to leave were those when she had a supportive community. Two Opportunities to Build Community: *4 Hr. Virtual Planning Day for your base via zoom. *6 Hr in person (in the 48 continuous states), on base training. Includes the PCS bundle. Two hours will be interactive with me in a questions and answer or book signing interactive capacity. *With this in person opportunity you get the PCS Planning Course, Workbook & The PCS Productivity Bundle which includes a Portable Sunday Basket, 2.0 slash pockets (pink, purple, blue, green), and 2.0 Productivity tabs. Your pink slash pocket is for travel, purple slash pockets is for all things related to your home, blue slash pocket for your family and pets, and green for finances including an expense tracker so you get things paid for that should be by the military. **If you have questions and/or interest in one of these opportunities please email military@organize365.com EPISODE RESOURCES: PCS Planning Course PCS Productivity Bundle Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter Did you enjoy this episode?

In this week's episode, I'm talking about the importance of sharing our individual gifts and wisdom so that we can co-create a world of liberation. How speaking our truth is crucial to this work. And if we are to build communities of care, we need to remember that communication is a two-way street. It's not just about being clear in what you have to say; it's also about deep listening. When we can consciously collaborate, there is no limit to what we can build.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, we are doing something different. Earlier this month, we hosted a webinar on the effects of policy and headlines on cross-border tourism. This was the first of a series of community conversations that we will be hosting this year. In this webinar, we invited 5 expert panelists to talk about Canadian-U.S. Tourism. The conversation was forward-focused and collaborative, and our panelists shared openly, candidly and provided actionable insights and ideas for strengthening cross-border tourism between Canada and the US. That is why we decided to replay the audio from this webinar here on Destination on the Left. In this episode, you'll hear from five inspirational tourism and travel media professionals: Vince Accardi, President of Ontario Motor Coach Association Corey Fram, Director of Thousand Islands International Tourism Council Richard Arnold, Owner of Atlantic Tours Canada Catherine Dawson March, Travel Writer and Editor of The Globe and Mail Christopher Mitchell, Canadian Travel Influencer from Traveling with Mitch Ideas to Build Community and Collaboration We examine the impact of recent policy changes and tariffs on cross-border tourism between Canada and the US. Our knowledgeable industry experts share their perspectives on the current Canadian sentiment toward US travel, potential economic impacts, and the power of tourism as a connector during challenging times. Vince Accardi, President of Ontario Motor Coach Association Vince emphasizes the longstanding economic and cultural ties between Canada and the U.S. in tourism. He highlights the importance of staying invested in cross-border partnerships even during challenging situations and the importance of open communication and collaboration between tour operators, destinations, and consumers to counter the negative effects of current political climates. Corey Fram, Director of Thousand Islands International Tourism Council Corey shares insights from the unique position of a binational destination. He pointed out the historical patterns of cross-border travel challenges, such as those post-9/11, and the impact on travel sentiment. He also stresses the importance of maintaining face-to-face communication and building strong relationships at the local level to ensure continued collaboration across the border. Richard Arnold, Owner of Atlantic Tours Canada Richard discusses the deep-rooted connections between Atlantic Canada and the U.S., particularly New England. He frankly expresses that Canadians' sentiments toward current political issues have also led to hurt feelings. However, he remains optimistic about the tourism sector's resilience and values the importance of storytelling and media campaigns to remind Canadians and Americans of their longstanding friendly relations and shared histories. Catherine Dawson March, Travel Writer and Editor of the Globe And Mail Catherine offers her insights into the editorial perspective on the situation. She discusses the shift in Canadian sentiment toward travel to the U.S. due to current trade issues.

At She Shreds clinics, “egos get left behind.” On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to Jenn Lockwood, training supervisor at the Mt. Hood Meadows Learning Center, who runs the She Shreds program. Lockwood said the program, which features both camps and clinics, offers women a space to learn together, grow their skills and create community. Participants often stay in touch, she said, and wind up creating their own communities to continue skiing together. Here are some highlights from this week's show: What is She Shreds all about? How does this program differ from regular ski lessons at Mt. Hood Meadows? Why it's important to create a space for women to learn.
