Most recruiting conversations stay surface-level. We talk roles, titles, numbers. But the best leaders know how to go deeper. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I share the single most powerful question I ask in nearly every recruiting conversation: "What's your long-term professional dream? And what's your personal dream outside of work for the next 10 years?" That one question changes everything. It moves the conversation from transactional to transformational. It shows people you don't just want to hire them, you want to help them become who they're meant to be. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most recruiting conversations fall flat: they focus on what's now, not what's next [00:45] The Dream Question – Ask both: What's your long-term professional dream? And what's your personal dream outside of work for the next 10 years? [01:15] Why It Works – Most people never get asked about their 10-year vision. When you create that space, you become more than a recruiter, you become a trusted partner [01:30] Examples of Answers Professional: "I want to lead a team," "I want to grow to $100M," "I want to move into strategy" Personal: "I want to coach my daughter's soccer team," "I want to work remote," "I want to write a book" [02:20] What to Do With Their Answer – Write it down. Label it. Let it shape your future follow-up. Anchor your conversations to their dream, not your offer [02:45] Managers Close. Leaders Connect. – Great recruiters don't sell, they align. They co-create futures [03:00] Final Challenge – In your next recruiting call, ask the deeper question. Then shut up, listen, and take notes. Follow up with belief, not pressure Key Takeaways Ask About the Dream, Not the Deal – When you ask about their 10-year vision, you become unforgettable Two Questions That Unlock Trust – What's your long-term professional dream? And what's your personal dream outside of work? Lead With Belief, Not Benefits – People are drawn to leaders who see their future clearly Follow Up With Purpose – Every message, call, or invite should tie back to the life they told you they want The Best Recruiters Are Dream Builders – They don't pitch jobs. They invite people into a better version of their own story This one question will change your recruiting forever. Ask it. Capture it. Follow up on it.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Scott Townsend Show, I reconnect with longtime friend and marketing leader Jacquelyn LaMar Berney, President of VI Marketing and Branding in Oklahoma City. Jacquelyn—an accomplished marketer, community leader, and trustee for the Oklahoma City Museum of Art—joins me for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about authenticity, personal branding, and the strange new world of LinkedIn advice.Jacquelyn and I unpack a recent post she wrote that began with the bold opener: “LinkedIn advice is worthless.” That hook sparked a deep dive into why people chase engagement, how AI-generated posts are changing the platform, and why contradictory “thought leadership” leaves people confused rather than helped.We talk about the “Harvard Trust Triangle,” what it means to have a “wobble” in how others perceive your empathy, logic, or authenticity, and how to show up as your real self without oversharing. Jacquelyn also reflects on the evolution of LinkedIn—from résumé site, to networking hub, to something that sometimes feels like Tinder-for-business.Together, we explore:Whether authenticity is still possible in an algorithm-driven worldHow personal brands are built (whether you mean to build one or not)Why trend-chasing feels hollowHow to genuinely help people without turning into an “influencer”It's a smart, funny, and honest conversation about the tension between being yourself and performing yourself online—and why showing up with integrity still matters.

Roughly 1.2 billion young people will reach working age in developing countries over the next 10-15 years. However, current projections show that only 420 million jobs are expected to be created by that time, meaning millions of young people will be left without a clear path to employment. World Bank President Ajay Banga joins Clarke Murphy and Marla Oates on Redefiners to talk about what the Bank is doing about it, and why job creation is so critical to both developing countries and the global economy. Ajay talks about what he's doing to transform the 80-year old institution into a faster, more efficient, and more impactful partner in development, including partnering more with the private sector to increase investments in emerging markets. He also discusses what he calls the Decency Quotient and how leaders can tap into that in order to lead people with a hand on their back, not in their face. We'll also hear from Rebecca Hart, a leadership advisor in our Atlanta office, who will discuss why the most successful leaders prioritize curiosity over having all the answers. Four things you'll learn from this episode: How to get everyone aligned with a bold mandate, mission and vision and how to deal with challenging feedback Why job creation is a critical piece in global development Why the private sector is critical to international development What the Decency Quotient is and why it matters for leaders today If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like these Redefiners episodes: Music with a Mission: Former MTV International Chairman and CEO Bill Roedy on Leading with Purpose Leadership Lounge: Built to Last or Built to Learn: How Leaders Can Develop Resilience Action Creates Hope: A Conversation with IRC President and CEO David Miliband Leadership Lounge: From Firefighting to Future-Building: How Leaders Can Master Perpetual Transformation Thriving Through Adversity: How WTO's Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is Solving Global Problems Leadership Lounge: Beyond Handshakes: How to Build Trust and Transform Executive Team Performance
This episode of Sell With Authority is another part of our very special series on trust — and distrust — in the agency sales process. You've been hearing from agency leaders who are leaning into this issue head-on. These conversations are not only timely — they're also forming the research foundation for my next book, The Trust Architecture, and a new series of Field Guides we'll soon be sharing with our community. As we've seen time and again from our work alongside agency owners and their teams — trust, or the lack of it — is one of the biggest obstacles to having a sales pipeline that flows with right-fit prospects. When trust is present — awesome — the pipeline flows. When trust is absent — not awesome — friction sets in, uncertainty creeps up, and momentum stalls. Which makes today's conversation another rock solid awesome fit for this series. Our special guest expert is Maddy Osman, Founder of The Blogsmith, a content marketing agency trusted by top B2B technology brands. Maddy's perspective is such a valuable addition to this series because agencies know that the quality of content can either build or break credibility. A missed deadline, an inconsistent voice, or a sloppy process erodes trust instantly. But content that's consistent, well-structured, and scalable doesn't just demonstrate credibility — it earns it. You'll hear how Maddy defines trust in agency-client relationships, how content and thought leadership can build trust at scale, how her team ensures quality and credibility through strong operations, and how to balance efficiency — maybe even AI — with human creativity to keep trust at the center of it all. Content can transform your agency's credibility into trust — THEN turn that trust into growth. Maddy shares her proven processes, mistakes to avoid, and her hard-won lessons on turning trust into lasting growth. What you will learn in this episode: Why trust — or lack of it — is the single biggest friction in your agency's sales pipeline Maddy's playbook for building trust from the very first client touchpoint The secret behind "the trust cookie" How to leverage operational discipline so your clients see you as the safest pair of hands they've used — ever Candid examples of when it's time to say "no" for the sake of integrity — and how that builds referral gold A balanced approach to leveraging AI, building human connections, and never losing your voice in the noise Resources: Website: https://www.theblogsmith.com/ LinkedIn Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madelineosman/ LinkedIn Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/theblogsmith/ X: https://x.com/maddyosman Writing for Humans and Robots: The New Rules of Content Style: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X4NJ9H8

Grant Oviatt, Head of SOC at Prophet Security and a former SOC leader at Mandiant and Red Canary, tackles this head-on as a self-proclaimed "AI skeptic". Grant shared that after 15 years of being "scared to death" by high-false-positive AI, modern LLMs have changed the game .The key to trust lies in two pillars: explainability (is the decision reasonable?) and traceability (can you audit the entire data trail, including all 40-50 queries?) . Grant talks about yje critical architectural components for regulated industries, including single-tenancy , bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) for data sovereignty , and model portability.In this episode we will be comparing AI SOC to traditional MDRs and talking about real-world "bake-off" results where an AI SOC had 99.3% agreement with a human team on 12,000 alerts but was 11x faster, with an average investigation time of just four minutes .Guest Socials - Grant's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security Podcast(00:00) Introduction(02:00) Who is Grant Oviatt?(02:30) How to Establish Trust in an AI SOC for Regulated Environments(03:45) Explainability vs. Traceability: The Two Pillars of Trust(06:00) The "Hard SOC Life": Pre-AI vs. AI SOC(09:00) From AI Skeptic to AI SOC Founder: What Changed?

Joe Navarro shares how observation and benign curiosity can turn fear into cooperation. Gary Noesner breaks down why likability is the secret weapon in any negotiation. And Melissa Fortunato shows how empathy and diversity save lives — and how the same principles can transform conversations at home and at work.

Trust rarely fails with a crash; it thins out through tiny cuts. We unpack how unclear or ignored boundaries chip away at relationships and show practical ways to rebuild trust with clarity, courage, and compassion. Using Brene Brown's BRAVING as a guide, we broaden trust beyond reliability to include accountability, the vault, integrity, nonjudgment, and generosity—starting with boundaries as the first move.We walk through ten common boundary violations leaders often miss: intrusions on privacy, work-life overreach, role oversteps, dismissed emotions, wasted time, autonomy squeezes, tech misuse, neglected health needs, broken confidentiality, and cultural disrespect. You'll hear why most of these slips are unintentional—and why intent doesn't erase impact. Then we translate awareness into action with simple scripts to name a violation, explain the effect, and ask for a new agreement without blaming motives.For teams, we offer clear norms that lower friction: quiet hours, meeting purpose and limits, response-time windows, decision rights, and explicit rules for confidential topics. We share how to model integrity by owning mistakes quickly, how to practice nonjudgment and generosity during feedback, and how to protect autonomy by focusing on outcomes over micromanagement. The result is a culture where people feel safe to speak up, bring energy to the work that matters, and protect the values that keep them well.If this conversation helps you rethink boundaries and trust, subscribe, share it with a colleague who needs it today, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.

Trust First: AI adoption in logistics must be built on governance and trust, using frameworks like NIST to ensure data security and accountability. AI Augments, Doesn't Replace: AI is a powerful enhancer for core systems (TMS, visibility), not a standalone replacement. Its primary role is to improve efficiency. Focus on Practical Pain Points: Start AI implementation by targeting tedious manual tasks (e.g., check calls, data entry, carrier onboarding) for rapid, measurable ROI. Stability Over Startups: Partnering with existing, integrated tech vendors (like Descartes) ensures greater stability, expertise, and roadmap alignment than relying on new AI-only startups.

Build Trust with Staff: Overcome internal resistance by layering AI into current workflows and establishing clear performance baselines (ROI) before deployment. Enhance What Works: The path to resilience is through strategically integrating AI into proven, existing workflows step-by-step, not by chasing every new technology trend.

When Wikipedia was founded in 2001, the idea that people around the world could come together to create an accurate online encyclopedia covering virtually any topic seemed far-fetched. But today many people see the website as a trusted source of well-curated and -cited information. That's because of careful decisions that its leaders made about how to operate. Cofounder Jimmy Wales explains how introducing a simple purpose, insisting on certain rules of engagement, and other strategies helped the organization to build trust with contributors and users -- and maintain it even in a world bombarded by misinformation. Wales is the author of The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last.
Misinformation is a growing problem, with most Americans worried about the reliability of online information. Dan Nottingham created Mi Credible.ai to help people navigate this landscape by providing a credibility score for statements. The tool uses multiple AI models to objectively analyze sources, offering a numerical score and an explanation so users can assess the accuracy of their content before sharing it. This approach helps reduce bias, promotes informed communication, and gives businesses and individuals a measurable way to maintain trust and credibility online. Mi Credible.ai can be used for business, social, and casual purposes, from validating marketing content to settling debates among friends. Users can input any statement to check its accuracy and receive a clear score, making credibility a key performance indicator. Nottingham envisions a future in which AI tools like this serve as impartial editors, helping people navigate misinformation with confidence. The platform is currently browser-based, with mobile apps in development, and encourages users to try it themselves to see how it can improve communication and decision-making. Quotes: “Everyone is a publisher, but not everyone is an editor. That's where credibility tools come in.” “Credibility shouldn't be a buzzword; it should be a KPI for your business.” “It's not enough to be right—you have to persuade.” Resources: Connect with Dan Nottingham on LinkedIn Credibility starts with you
Wikipedia, the crowdsourced encyclopedia, is one of the world's most visited websites, with 11 billion page views each month.
