What can slicing a watermelon teach us about design? Turns out… quite a lot. This week, I chat with Vitaly Friedman, founder of Smashing Magazine, to explore curiosity, inefficiency, and why the best designers obsess over process, not perfection.What if your next design breakthrough came not from a book or a course, but from learning to slice a watermelon?Vitaly Friedman has spent decades shaping how designers think about the web. But in this conversation, we go beyond pixels and patterns to talk about something much more profound: how curiosity itself becomes a design tool. From choosing the perfect watermelon to mastering the art of ironing, Vitaly reveals how everyday obsessions can teach us how to think, learn, and design better.We explore how designers can reclaim joy and curiosity in their work, especially in environments where efficiency and productivity often come at the expense of creativity. Vitaly's take? It's not about finding the perfect way to do something—it's about exploring many ways and discovering meaning in the process.From grilled watermelons to enterprise UX, we connect the dots between experimentation, self-learning, and the messy human side of design.If you've ever felt stuck chasing “best practices” or trying to find the “right” answer, this episode will remind you that sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do is play.Topics:• 03:39 – The Watermelon Metaphor• 05:37 – Choosing the Perfect Watermelon• 09:19 – Cutting Techniques and Presentation• 13:34 – Grilling Watermelon and Culinary Creativity• 14:28 – Learning and Self-Education• 15:13 – The Journey of Exploration• 18:28 – Imposter Syndrome and Asking for Help• 22:00 – Humanizing Executives and Stakeholders• 22:48 – The Importance of Curiosity• 25:34 – Ironing and Finding Zen• 30:01 – The Role of Enjoyment in Learning• 31:35 – Procrastination and Productivity• 33:46 – Procrastination and Focus• 34:48 – Memorable Conference Experience• 37:08 – Finding Joy in Enterprise UX Design• 38:50 – Challenges in Enterprise Projects• 41:35 – Building Trust and Team Culture• 50:50 – Balancing Exploration and DeliveryHelpful Links:• Connect with Vitaly on LinkedIn• Smashing Magazine• Design Patterns For AI Interfaces—Thanks for listening!

This week, I sat down with Sydney Chestler, Director of CX at Fresh Clean Threads, to talk about what it really takes to build trust in customer experience, not just close tickets.We get into what it means to lead CX at two wildly different brands, from helping a 25-year-old skincare fan find her first serum to supporting a 45-year-old dad buying tees for vacation. Sydney shares how she's built a career around understanding what customers actually care about and how to design experiences that feel human, honest, and clear.We cover the shift from reactive support to proactive CX, the importance of tracking “silent wins” like low ticket-to-order ratios, and why transparency should be your brand's default setting. Sydney breaks down why the best metric isn't how many tickets your team closes, it's how many you prevent by setting the right expectations.We also talk about leadership. Sydney opens up about how mentors shaped her career and how she now pays it forward by building teams that feel heard, supported, and empowered. Her approach is rooted in empathy and connection, and it shows up in everything she does, from team culture to how she thinks about the customer journey.If you care about building trust, leading with transparency, and empowering your CX teams to do their best work, this episode's for you.Listen now for insights on leadership, trust, and how to turn every touchpoint into a relationship, not just a transaction.

Many leaders sound inauthentic, robotic or fake.It's true: As a leader, it's hard to sound authentic – to be real, relatable, and trusted. Some messages may come across as too corporate, others as too casual. The result is the same: there's a gap between what you want to say and what your people hear. To close that gap, I'm joined by David Shelley, CEO of Hachette Book Group, one of the biggest names in global publishing, with more than 220 million books sold annually.He's raw, real, and incredibly believable – and he shows us what authentic leadership communication sounds like at scale.Get your 50 Presentation Hacks here: https://eoipsocommunications.com/newsletter/00:00 Introduction & Authentic Leadership00:32 Open Office & Company Culture01:39 Industry Changes & Inclusivity02:27 Feedback & Growth Mindset07:54 Diversity & Changing the Story10:27 Business Growth & Pillars of Success12:14 Understanding Consumers14:50 Building Trust & Communication Channels19:23 Transparency vs. Confidentiality22:34 The Future of Publishing26:03 Advice for Aspiring Authors28:49 Leadership, Communication, and Final Advice38:35 Closing Remarks

How can AI actually increase donor trust rather than erode it? In this conversation, Bennett Weiner (President & CEO, BBB Wise Giving Alliance) speaks with Jeremy Kirshbaum (Founder, Handshake) and Ezra Vázquez-D'Amico (Director of Digital Partnerships & Strategy, BBB Wise Giving Alliance) about AskGive—Give.org's AI Powered Donor Advisor that helps people make wise, trust-centered giving decisions using Give.org's vetted resources.  To draw out broader lessons on AI for the charitable sector, we cover why AskGive was built, how brand-safe AI is different from a generic chatbot, and what's next (structured charity data for cause-based discovery) while keeping donors—not algorithms in the decision seat. Key takeaways - Trust by design: AskGive only draws from Give.org's vetted content (charity reports, standards, advice), aligning AI answers with BBB Charity Standards and avoiding unverified sources. - Brand-safe AI is not the same as a generic chatbot: Tone, accuracy, and “no ranking charities” guardrails were co-designed with staff (from subject experts to frontline donor support) to reflect Give.org's culture. - Help donors act, don't decide for them: The tool surfaces facts, standards results, and advice—then puts the final choice back in the donor's hands. - Cause-based discovery for new donors: Younger/values-driven givers can start with “I want to support animal welfare” and move into credible options without already knowing a charity's name. - The Path From 70% to 100%: Spinning up a chatbot is easy; getting to on-brand, brand-safe, reliable, repeatable guidance takes custom work, evaluation checklists, and ongoing monitoring. - What's next for AskGive: Structured data queries (e.g., “Show me five BBB Accredited environmental charities in my state”) to give donors more relevant, self-directed ways to explore. Why this matters for nonprofit professionals and people who care about social good  - Practical AI path: Start small with mission-critical content, define tone/guardrails, and set evaluation criteria early. - Trust signals win: Transparent sourcing and standards-aligned answers reduce friction for donors and strengthen credibility. - Human-centered by default: Keep people in the loop—let AI inform, not decide.

Christensen Quotable Moments from Alex: On Challenging Assumptions: "Intuition can tell you where to look, but the data is going to validate or invalidate that's the right place to press." On Understanding Customer Needs: "What you learn is, customers can tell you their pain points, they can tell you their aspirations, but what they can't tell you is the solution... It's not their job. That's ours." On the Core Philosophy of V1's AI companion, V1CTOR: "The best way to build trust between a random person on the internet and a golf instructor is to show some value first."

Her narrative underscores the mutual effort needed for individuals with disabilities to flourish, spotlighting how these interactions can foster personal growth, skill development, and emotional well-being.Jennifer dismantles common misconceptions about DSPs, emphasizing the skills, critical thinking, and emotional resilience required in their role.

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, host Jeff Mains sits down with Rachel J. Edwards, founder of INSPIRI and creator of the Strategic Personality Blueprint (SPB). Rachel shares her journey from coaching to building a personality assessment tool that provides a holistic, multi-dimensional view of human behavior, bridging the gaps between popular frameworks like Disc, Enneagram, Big Five, and incorporating proprietary strengths and values modules. She discusses the challenges of bringing innovation to market as a non-technical founder, balancing product vision with scaling constraints, and the profound impact of customized personality insights for hiring, team harmony, and organizational success.Rachel's insights illuminate how understanding individual and team dynamics with evolving, experience-based assessments can turbo-charge leadership, hiring, and even applications beyond business—spanning education and criminal justice. Authenticity, privacy, and values-driven decision-making are at the heart of her product, pushing organizations to move beyond static labels to real, actionable understanding.Key Takeaways00:00 Holistic Coaching System Needed06:16 Dynamic Evolving Personal Assessment09:26 Beyond Labels to True Understanding12:08 "Team Analysis for Effective Leadership"15:40 "Validating Market Fit First"19:51 Streamlining for Scalability and Efficiency23:32 Building Trust in Employee Assessments26:41 Optimizing Team Dynamics Strategically29:36 Balanced Approach to Personality Insights32:18 Personalized Rehabilitation for Better Outcomes35:54 Tailoring Investor Communication Strategies40:28 "AI's Impact on Jobs"Tweetable QuotesViral Topic: One Assessment to Rule Them All: "And came up with one single assessment where it will capture five different assessments in one, though you're only taking one assessment, so like you said, you're not going to have to take the disc or Enneagram or any of the other assessments. It's all in one." — Rachel J. Edwards Quote: "how does somebody's motivations or their values impact the behavior that they see? And really being able to understand that point allows a coach or a leader or an organization to better lead and guide their people." — Rachel J. Edwards Viral Topic: The Truth Behind Personality Labels: "I like to say is we bridge the gaps between the labels because life and growth happen behind the labels." — Rachel J. Edwards Proving Market Fit Before Building: "So instead of going, like you said, to get go and building something from tech and then saying we have this, we're almost kind of flipping it and showing that there's a market fit, people want this and we're using it now." — Rachel J. Edwards Quote: "I think any one of those single things misses so much because there's just so much that people have to offer. People are a lot of depth in who they are and how they perform." — Jeff Mains Avoiding Startup Pitfalls: "some founders will make the mistake of we want to automate everything, get that out there, and it's all technology. And so they end up having to redo a bunch of stuff because they take all of the learning happens after they've already built it and like, oh, we should have done that differently." — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsBridge the Gaps Between Labels: Avoid oversimplifying people by single assessments; embrace layered approaches for deeper understanding.Champion Privacy to Build Trust: Protect individual assessment results—privacy encourages honesty and leads to more actionable insights.Start Manual, Learn Deep: Begin with hands-on delivery to...

In this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld interviews Sonam Ludhani, RevOps Leader at TONOMUS, for a thoughtful conversation about the intersection of growth mindset, leadership, and AI adoption. Sonam and Dane unpack how “no-blame” cultures and psychologically safe teams unlock innovation, and why true leaders act as coaches and enablers, not gatekeepers of knowledge. Sonam also explains why so many AI initiatives fail  – and how teams can build credibility, reliability, and openness into their workflows with agentic AI. This episode is a great reminder that AI is a partner, not a replacement, and that the teams who thrive will be those who use it to elevate human potential.

In this episode of The Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin interviews Neda Jafar, a partner at Kimmeridge, to discuss her journey, leadership philosophy, and the evolution of investor relations within a growing private equity firm. Neda offers a unique perspective shaped by her technical background in engineering and her experience building Kimmeridge's fundraising and investor communications platform from the ground up.The conversation begins with Neda's origin story—growing up in Connecticut in a multicultural family, studying operations research at Cornell, and entering finance through roles at GE and HSBC. She later joined Kimmeridge in its early stages, where she initially handled everything from accounting to IT. Over time, she found her niche in investor relations, eventually becoming a strategic leader within the firm. Her early exposure to both technical and financial disciplines laid the foundation for her ability to engage deeply with complex investments and communicate them effectively to investors.Neda discusses the philosophy behind Kimmeridge's investment strategy, which emphasizes a technical, data-driven approach to energy investing. With $6 billion in assets under management, the firm is diversified across upstream energy, public activism, and energy transition strategies—including Chestnut Carbon, a nature-based carbon removal business that Neda helped incubate. Her involvement in underwriting and scaling portfolio companies gives her credibility and fluency in investor discussions, enabling her to build trust through substance and insight.A recurring theme in the episode is the importance of communication—both internal and external. Neda shares how she structured Kimmeridge's investor relations team by client type, tailoring outreach to the specific needs of pensions, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and other investor categories. She emphasizes the value of storytelling in simplifying complex investment theses without losing nuance, noting that connecting authentically with investors is more effective than giving polished lectures.Internally, she highlights the importance of clear, consistent communication across teams, especially in a scaling organization. Tools like Salesforce and Tableau have been game-changers, helping the firm track engagement, manage investor relationships, and build institutional memory. Neda candidly acknowledges that implementing CRM systems is a “new muscle” for many teams but argues it's essential for scaling with discipline and visibility.On leadership, Neda speaks about transitioning from an individual contributor to a team leader, emphasizing authenticity, resilience, and high standards. She believes great fundraisers and investors need to understand each other's roles deeply, and encourages more real-time exposure for investment professionals to investor feedback.The episode closes with reflections on company culture, growth challenges, and advice for young professionals entering the industry. Neda encourages newcomers to be curious, take risks, and build relationships across their organizations. Her parting wisdom—“don't hide at your desk”—captures the spirit of her approach: proactive, relational, and grounded in continuous learning.Overall, the episode is a rich look at what it takes to build and lead a high-performing investor relations function, with practical insights on scaling, communication, leadership, and strategy.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

The first 100 feet of your patient's journey can determine whether they feel safe enough to heal or guarded enough to hold back.   In this episode, I'm wrapping up my four-part miniseries on how to create a trauma-informed and neurodivergent-inclusive onboarding experience. I've learned that the way we welcome patients says as much about our care as the medicine we practice. Every detail - the tone of our emails, the questions we ask, the space we create - either builds trust or adds stress. What if every first interaction helped someone exhale and feel seen? What would change in your work if your process reflected safety, autonomy, and genuine connection? I'll share insights from my Catalyst Studio community and ways to make those first 100 feet of your patient's journey feel like the start of true healing.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 True Healing Begins When Patients Say Yes 04:25 Why Trauma and Neurodivergence Matter in Onboarding 07:10 Building Trust in the First 100 Feet of the Patient Journey 09:12 Creating a Trauma-Informed Intake and Welcome Experience 16:13 Using Personal Connection to Ease Anxiety and Build Safety 23:23 Giving Patients Choice and Control in Their Care 28:15 How to Prevent Ghosting and Maintain Long-Term Engagement   Links Learn more about the Catalyst Studio Mentorship   PODCAST coupon code for a free Brainstorming session   Connect with Dr. Lara Salyer:  Visit Dr. Lara's Website Explore The Catalyst Way Subscribe to Dr. Lara's YouTube Channel Connect with Dr. Lara on LinkedIn Follow Dr. Lara on Instagram  Follow Dr. Lara on Facebook Follow Dr. Lara on TikTok     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode of the Leaders Transform podcast, we dive into Chapter Two of our book, which focuses on the critical theme of building trust and safety within high-performance teams. Trust is the cornerstone of collaboration and innovation, and without it, teams struggle to thrive. We explore how to cultivate psychological safety and mutual trust, empowering team members to speak up, take risks, and grow. Through real-world stories, practical tools, and leadership reflections, we provide insights on creating a culture of openness, vulnerability, and accountability. I share a personal story from my early days as a conductor, illustrating how I learned that connection and safety are essential for team success. We discuss the conditions that flourish in a trusting environment, such as open communication, constructive conflict resolution, and shared accountability, contrasting them with the detrimental effects of a lack of trust. Key behaviors for leaders to foster trust include transparency, consistency, humility, and inclusivity. We also introduce practical tools like the Trust Pulse Team Survey and the Trust Wall activity to assess and strengthen the trust climate within teams. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of ongoing commitment to trust-building, especially in diverse teams, and provide reflection questions and case studies to illustrate these concepts in action. As we wrap up, I highlight that trust is not a one-time achievement but requires continuous effort and reflection. In our next episode, we will explore how building trust lays the groundwork for effective communication and collaboration, setting the stage for exceptional team culture.

In this episode of People Solve Problems, host Jamie Flinchbaugh speaks with Maureen (Moe) Rinkunas, Director of Insights Membership at Rock Health Advisory. Moe brings over 20 years of experience spanning corporate innovation, venture studios, and advisory leadership at organizations including DuPont, Accenture, Dreamit Ventures, and Redesign Health. Moe opens the conversation by sharing her fundamental belief that everyone possesses problem-solving capabilities, shaped by evolution itself. However, she emphasizes that people bring different strengths to the table. When working with teams, she takes time to understand individual styles and leverages them strategically throughout the innovation process. Moe explains how naturally optimistic team members excel at generating ideas and maintaining energy during brainstorming sessions, while more skeptical individuals prove invaluable when narrowing options and making final decisions. By understanding these diverse strengths, she creates environments where different personalities contribute at the right moments. The conversation shifts to collaboration and the messy nature of innovation work. Moe stresses that psychological safety forms the foundation of effective problem-solving. She explains that trust must be built over time, creating a reserve that teams can draw upon when facing uncomfortable challenges. She shares a powerful example from her time at DuPont, where leaders instituted a "Dead Project Day" on the Day of the Dead, encouraging people at all levels to share their failures. Initially met with skepticism, this practice became an annual tradition that normalized risk-taking and built lasting trust within the organization. When discussing innovation leadership, Moe introduces the concept of leaders as snowplows. She describes how innovation leaders must clear paths for their teams by navigating organizational politics, communicating effectively with senior leadership, and helping others understand that innovative projects require different metrics and timelines than traditional initiatives. This protective role helps create safe spaces where teams can do their best work, even when external pressures threaten psychological safety. Moe advocates strongly for test-and-learn approaches in innovation work. She emphasizes developing minimal viable solutions paired with "what must be true" statements that guide testing priorities. Her teams create learning plans with clear testing commitments, specific metrics, and defined timeframes. Moe suggests framing decisions around manageable increments, asking what information teams need to decide whether to continue, pivot, or stop after six weeks rather than demanding absolute certainty. This approach makes testing feel achievable and keeps teams moving forward with practical confidence. Looking at healthcare innovation specifically, Moe identifies significant opportunities in an industry facing mounting pressures around staffing shortages and affordability challenges. She notes that while many innovators develop point solutions addressing specific problems, the real opportunity lies in creating connections between these innovations. She encourages entrepreneurs to think about integrated, holistic healthcare experiences that reflect how people actually live with and experience their health. Throughout the conversation, Moe demonstrates how thoughtful attention to team dynamics, psychological safety, and structured learning processes enables innovation work to flourish. Her insights offer practical guidance for anyone leading creative problem-solving efforts in complex organizational environments.
