Podcasts about Business case

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Cara Caruso, CEO and co-founder of Sentinel Insights, and Dustin Taylor, counsel at Troutman Pepper Locke.We'll cover:(00:00) - Cara-audio (00:53) - In This Episode (04:40) - 1 — Why Your Website Is Running More Tracking Tools Than You Know (08:17) - 2 — How a Plaintiff's Firm Turns Your Website Into a Lawsuit (17:55) - 3 — The ECPA Wave and the Privacy Policy That Sues You (20:53) - 4 — What Consent Drift Actually Looks Like (25:16) - 5 — Who Actually Owns Privacy Compliance (30:49) - 6 — The Business Case for Privacy-First Marketing (35:52) - 7 — What Marketing Ops Can Do About Privacy This Week (42:35) - 8 — Why Email Marketing Is the Next Privacy Lawsuit (48:04) - 9 — AI, Consent, and Being Forced to Delete Your Data (51:46) - 10 — Why Small Companies Get Privacy Lawsuits Too (58:42) - 11 — How to Decide What Deserves Your Energy Summary: A privacy-software CEO and a litigation defense attorney walk into a podcast and proceed to scare every marketer in the room, in the most useful way possible. Cara Caruso has scanned over 10,000 websites and found nearly 90% of them non-compliant, while Dustin Taylor has defended more than 100 companies against the exact lawsuits that follow. Together they trace how a forgotten tag from three years ago becomes a seven-figure settlement, why your own privacy policy is the document most likely to sue you, and how one month of a broken cookie banner turns into 10,000 dollars per visitor. Then they flip the whole thing and make the case for why clean, consented data actually performs better. Stick around for the part where your email open rates might be illegal and the FTC makes companies delete four years of data.About Cara Caruso and Dustin TaylorCara Caruso is the CEO and co-founder of Sentinel Insights, where she leads a platform that monitors websites in real time for consent violations and privacy exposure. Before starting the company she spent more than 25 years in data and martech, building and scaling teams across technology and financial services in both B2B and B2C. She pairs strategic planning with hands-on execution, and she's also a certified yoga instructor who has been known to bring a workshop into the office.Dustin Taylor is counsel at Troutman Pepper Locke, where he defends companies at the intersection of privacy law and marketing technology. He's defended more than 100 companies in ad-tech privacy cases involving cookies, pixels, session replay, and website chat, secured dismissals at the pleading stage in federal court, and argued in California, New York, Florida, Texas, and New Jersey. He started out with an advertising degree before law school, which makes him fluent in the martech stack in a way most litigators never are. He also publishes monthly privacy litigation reports and tracks ECPA filings with AI.Why Your Website Is Running More Tracking Tools Than You KnowMost marketing teams believe they have a clean inventory of what runs on their website. There's a tag manager, a cookie banner, a vendor list in a spreadsheet somewhere, and a general sense that someone signed off on all of it. Then someone actually scans the site, and the number comes back two, three, sometimes four times higher than anyone expected.Cara has watched this play out thousands of times. Sentinel Insights has scanned over 10,000 websites in the past year, and the pattern barely changes from one company to the next. Nearly 90% of those sites are not compliant. Every new customer gets the same uncomfortable conversation on day one.The gap between what a team thinks is running and what's actually firing comes from two places. The first is history. Somebody three years ago added a tag for a campaign that ended, then left the company, and nobody ever took it down. The team you have today inherited a stack built by people they never met, and most of those decisions were never written down anywhere. Cara calls it the ghost of marketers past, and it's sitting on almost every site she scans.The second is piggybacking. You buy one tool, drop in one script, and that single tag quietly loads four more. Each of those can load more on top. An agency hard-codes a pixel straight into a landing page because they didn't have access to the tag manager, and now your customer data flows to companies nobody on your team could name. None of it shows up in the tidy spreadsheet. All of it shows up in a scan.This is the part most marketers underestimate. The real exposure comes from the tools nobody chose on purpose, the dozen scripts running quietly in the background, each one sending customer data somewhere you've never audited. They pile up while everyone assumes the banner has it covered. No marketing team actually knows what's on its website until a scan proves otherwise, and "we reviewed it last year" is closer to a guess than a control.Why Not Knowing Is Not a Legal DefenseThe instinct, once you find those orphaned tags, is to assume they don't count against you. You didn't install them. You didn't even know they were there. Dustin spends a lot of his time correcting that assumption. These privacy laws do have a knowledge component, but courts read knowledge very differently than a normal person would. As long as the person who installed the tag three years ago knew they were installing something, the legal requirement is met. The fact that today's marketing team forgot it existed changes nothing.There's a second trap hiding inside the same problem. What marketing knew, what IT knew, and what legal knew are rarely the same thing, and that fragmentation is its own risk. Each group assumes another group is watching the stack. The court doesn't care which department dropped the ball. It only cares that someone, at some point, hit install.Key takeaway: Run a full scan of your live website this month and compare the results against your documented vendor list. Flag every tag you can't immediately explain, especially anything loading third-party scripts you never installed directly. The tools you can't account for are the ones quietly building your legal exposure, and forgetting they exist won't protect you.How a Plaintiff's Firm Turns Your Website Into a LawsuitHere's the mental model most marketing teams carry around: we're compliant until someone complains. You picture a single annoyed customer who takes the time to file something against your little startup, and you quietly decide the odds are low. Who's really going to sue over one text message or one tracking cookie? That assumption is the most expensive thing on your website, because litigation in this space doesn't start with a complaint. It starts with a scan of your site that you never see.Plaintiffs' law firms run continuous automated audits of company websites, and they're looking for far more than a typo in your privacy policy. Dustin walked through exactly what their scanners check:What loads automatically the moment someone lands on the page, before any consent is given, Whether there's a banner at all, and what it actually does, What keeps firing after a visitor opts out, Whether anything is miscategorized, like a marketing cookie quietly labeled "essential" so it can't be turned offOnce a firm finds the exposure, they find a plaintiff. The demand letter arrives, and the dollar amounts climb fast. Cara breaks the pressure into three forces bearing down on marketing teams at once:Trophy-hunting plaintiff attorneys who come after you for small amounts individually, then scale it into a class action, Brand and reputational damage that lingers long after a settlement clears, State enforcement at the atto...

What if you've been chasing success backwards? What if joy isn't the reward you earn after hitting your goals — but the foundation that makes hitting them inevitable?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Bose Akadiri — motivational keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and founder and CEO of Goal and Grind LLC, where she's known as “The Joy Amplifier.”  After a decade leading corporate social responsibility at Boeing, Salesforce, and JPMorgan Chase, she wrote The Stay Joyful Method to make the business case for joy — not as a feel-good perk, but as a strategic advantage that drives retention, sharpens clarity, and moves the numbers leaders actually care about.  Tune in to episode 254 to hear why the strongest performers spend time backstage before they take the main stage, how the “joy bubble” becomes a force field when work gets hard, and what it looks like to lead with joy that has a spine — joy that's results-driven and impossible to dismiss as soft.  AndrewTemte.com

AI spending is still powering parts of the market, but IBM's warning raises a bigger question about whether companies can keep funding the boom without cutting elsewhere.Chuck Zodda and Marc Fandetti break down why a flood of stock and bond issuance is testing investor appetite, how IBM's earnings warning highlights the pressure AI spending is putting on older software and consulting businesses, and why hyperscalers may eventually need to prove that AI can replace labor rather than simply assist workers. They also discuss ASML's stronger outlook, why the Magnificent Seven have struggled despite earnings growth, what to watch for if data center spending slows, and Todd Lutsky's explanation of what the Medicaid application process really requires.

Do you have employee engagement data sitting in a survey report with no plan for turning it into action?In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Wilson Kirkpatrick, Director of People Operations at Waterford.org, to talk about how they used employee engagement data to design a coaching program that strengthened leadership trust and psychological safety.Many nonprofit leaders collect engagement survey data every year, but once the report comes back, it often sits untouched. That data only becomes valuable when you pair it with a deliberate cycle of listening, understanding, and acting, turning a single survey into an ongoing system for organizational growth.▶️ How to Align Learning with Data with Nonprofit HR Leader Wilson Kirkpatrick▶️ Key Points:00:00:00 Wilson's Path Into HR and People Operations00:05:21 Inside Waterford.org's Mission and Team00:06:16 Turning Employee Engagement Data Into a Business Case for Coaching00:11:31 Prioritizing Quick Wins When Rolling Out Coaching00:15:23 Measuring the Results: Engagement Score Improvements00:17:18 Advice for Leaders Who Feel Intimidated by Data00:19:02 Where to Find the Data Already Inside Your OrganizationResources from this episode:Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveConnect with WilsonLinkedIn: Wilson KirkpatrickWebsite: waterford.org Connect with HeatherLinkedIn: Heather BurrightWebsite: skillmastersmarket.comBook an interest call with Heather here.⭐Was this episode helpful?

Der Kunde versteht den Nutzen – und sagt trotzdem: „Ganz schön teuer.“ Kommt dir bekannt vor? In dieser Folge geht es genau um diese Situation im Vertrieb: Nicht fehlender Nutzen ist das Problem, sondern der Maßstab, an dem der Kunde ihn bewertet. Du erfährst, warum selbst ein sauber hergeleiteter Business Case nicht automatisch zum passenden Preisgefühl führt, welche Rolle Vergleichswerte, Anker und interne Logiken auf Kundenseite spielen und warum guter Nutzen allein nicht reicht. Es geht darum, wie du im Gespräch herausfindest, womit dein Angebot eigentlich verglichen wird – und wie du durch klares Framing dafür sorgst, dass dein Wert auch richtig eingeordnet wird.

In this not-to-miss episode of Do Good to Lead Well, I am joined by Marcus Buckingham—the world's foremost expert on human strengths and engagement—for a candid, data-rich conversation about bringing love into leadership. Drawing on his latest book, Marcus redefines love for the modern workplace: not as romance, but as an intentional design for human flourishing and extraordinary results.Our conversation begins with the deeply personal, as Marcus shares the vulnerability and lessons he learned after selling his beloved company, sparking a compelling case for why “designing love in” must be at the core of modern organizations.He also directly challenges the widespread myths that love makes organizations weak or leaders soft. Instead, tough love emerges as a vital force; sometimes the most loving thing a leader can do is share hard truths or make difficult calls. This episode dives into the real-world consequences of unloving practices like inefficient handoffs or unmanageable spans of control, offering concrete strategies for leaders to build truly vibrant, trust-filled cultures.Whether you're a CEO who wants to transform your organization a team leader wanting to create an environment where you people flourish, this episode provides an evidence-based blueprint.

Climate risk is a business risk, and companies that ignore it face growing financial exposure and operational disruption. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Alma Cortés Selva, Senior Advisor with the BMO Climate Institute, speaks with Jeffrey Hollender, Co-Founder of Seventh Generation, about why sustainability must be grounded in a clear business case. Jeffrey Hollender explains how climate impacts—from extreme weather to supply chain fragility—are already reshaping how companies operate, and why leaders must design more resilient, transparent systems to manage these risks. He emphasizes that sustainability is not just about values, but about improving performance through lower costs, stronger supply chains, and better access to talent.

Welcome to episode #1042 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Marcus Buckingham has spent more than three decades changing how organizations think about people, performance, and leadership. As one of the pioneers of the strengths movement, his research has influenced millions of managers around the world and helped reshape the way companies approach employee engagement and organizational culture. After beginning his career as a researcher at Gallup, Marcus became one of the driving forces behind some of the most influential ideas in modern management. His books include First, Break All the Rules, Now, Discover Your Strengths, Go Put Your Strengths To Work, Love + Work and countless others. He has built a reputation as one of the world's foremost thinkers on human performance. His latest book, Design Love In - How To Unleash The Most Powerful Force In Business, takes that work in a surprising direction. Marcus argues that love isn't simply a personal emotion or an abstract ideal… it's the single most powerful driver of productive human behavior. In this conversation, Marcus explains why so many organizations have become increasingly transactional, why experience design has become one of the defining leadership skills of the AI era, and why he believes "experience intelligence" may soon become as important as financial or operational intelligence. It's a conversation about leadership, organizational design, technology, and perhaps most surprisingly… why one of the least discussed words in business may become one of its greatest competitive advantages.

If your eCommerce store shut down tomorrow, how long could you survive on everything else you've built? In this episode, Michael Jelliff, owner of Geekstands.com, reveals how he built one of the leanest, most profitable eCommerce operations around (an intentionally small, three-person team that throws off serious cash) and then did something most founders don't: pulled nearly all of it out and invested it elsewhere. Listen in as Mike shares the experience that shaped his entire financial philosophy, how he thinks about diversifying profits into both public and private markets, and why his passive investments now generate more income than his eCommerce business. You'll also hear his 12-year-old pricing formula that keeps him at a 99% in-stock rate, how he manages pricing across 11 marketplaces, and what he's weighing as he considers whether to sell the business entirely.

In this episode of The Interventional Endoscopist, host Dr. Vinkaval Satdev sits down with Dr. Davinderbir Singh Pannu, a recognized leader in advanced therapeutic endoscopy at McLeod Health. For years, Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) has been the gold standard for en bloc resection of complex mucosal lesions, but steep learning curves and equipment limitations have kept it centralized in major academic hubs. Dr. Pannu shares his journey of building a high-volume third-space endoscopy program (performing 80–100 cases a year) in a regional health system, saving patients from traveling hours for advanced care. Dive deep into the physics, economics, and clinical application of next-generation electrosurgical platforms. Dr. Satdev and Dr. Pannu break down the transition from traditional monopolar energy to multimodal bipolar microwave platforms—specifically focusing on the Creo Medical Chroma system with the Speedboat device. Key Takeaways: The Physics of Safety: How bipolar microwave energy limits collateral tissue damage and minimizes delayed perforations compared to traditional monopolar units. Tactile & Operational Shifts: Mastering pure cut currents, managing tissue resistance variations, and optimizing scope control. The Business Case for Advanced Tech: Navigating Value Analysis Committees (VAC), tracking downstream revenue, and proving ROI to hospital administrators. Clinical Humility & Career Growth: Dr. Pannu's approach to mastering one major new technical skill every single year.

In this episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet, Michelle is joined by Amy Williams, Founder and CEO of Good-Loop, a platform that sits at the intersection of brand purpose, media performance, and social impact, proving that doing good can also deliver exceptional business results. Almost a decade ago, Amy had a very a specific goal which was, to bring ideas of brand purpose and business responsibility into media. She saw a gap between well designed presentations about purpose and the practical tools brands needed to execute, measure, and quantify it. As she explains, "If you don't articulate the business value of social impact or responsible business, then it won't last." Good-Loop is all about ad experiences that convert attention into donations. Every impression and every eyeball generates funding for non profits which in turn create a genuine value exchange that leaves consumers feeling positive, and brands seeing great results. The proof is in the performance, and Amy shares an example of a yogurt brand targeting parents who saw their YouTube completion rate jump from 33% to 78% when Good-Loop connected them with a non-profit focused on building playgrounds. "On a cost per view basis, the donation more than pays for itself," she says. Amy argues that, “this is values alignment in action, and values alignment is the business case for good, driving loyalty and long-term customer value.” Amy is refreshingly honest about the current landscape and agrees that many brands have retreated in response to political and cultural shifts. However, she sees this as a clarifying moment, "values aren't values until they cost you something. And right now they cost you something. So we can see amazing brands step up at a time where there's more space and attention to do so because there's less noise and less fakers.” Looking ahead, Good-Loop is focused on quantifying the ROI of good, and making media sustainability practical through tools like their new IPA-partnered carbon calculator. Amy's advice to marketers is to look outside their bubble, because there is so much opportunity to learn. Tune in as Michelle talks to Amy about: Why the business case for good is values alignment. How the current cultural shift is revealing which brands' commitments are genuine. Practical, actionable steps any marketer can take today. The power of bringing non profits into the conversation as the authentic experts. Why Good-Loop's theory of change is helping huge organisations move "one percent in the right direction”. Loved this conversation - so many useful insights and learnings. Thank you Amy.

In dieser Folge tauche ich tief in die Realität der künstlichen Intelligenz innerhalb der Versicherungsbranche ein. Während die Theorie oft von glänzenden Strategiepapieren und schnellen Erfolgen durch Copiloten dominiert wird, sieht die Praxis in den Kellern deutscher Versicherer meist anders aus. Gemeinsam mit Dr. Josef Adersberger, dem CEO des IT-Projekthauses QAware GmbH, beleuchte ich die nackte Wahrheit über den aktuellen Status quo, der auf über 20 C-Level-Interviews und einem intensiven Forschungsjahr basiert. Wir sprechen darüber, warum so viele KI-Projekte im Proof-of-Concept-Stau stecken bleiben und wie der Übergang zu einem echten, KI-nativen Versicherer gelingt, ohne Millionen zu verbrennen. Hier sind die 5 Highlights aus unserem Gespräch: Der POC-Stau in der Praxis: Obwohl über 55 % der Versicherer KI produktiv nutzen, enden die meisten Projekte als nette Spielerei ohne harten Business Case. KI-nativ statt KI-naiv: Wer KI ohne klaren wirtschaftlichen Hebel einführt, verbrennt Geld. Echte KI-Native begreifen Technologie als integralen Bestandteil der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette. Radikales Input-Management: Wir diskutieren, warum das vermeintlich langweilige Thema Input-Management durch die Verlagerung der Datenextraktion nach vorne plötzlich zum wichtigsten Hebel gegen den demografischen Wandel wird. Claims Leakage als Millionenhebel: Die gezielte Vermeidung von nicht gedeckten Auszahlungen und Betrug durch den Einsatz von KI bietet gigantische Potenziale für die Schadenquote. Die Zukunft der Softwareentwicklung: Warum die klassische Standardsoftware an Bedeutung verliert und Versicherer durch Agentic Software Engineering in die Lage versetzt werden, passgenaue Lösungen schnell selbst zu bauen. Hier geht's zum Whitepaper "Auf dem Weg zum KI-nativen Versicherer" Links in dieser Ausgabe Zur Homepage von Jonas Piela Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Jonas Piela Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Dr. Josef Adersberger Stich aus der Masse hervor.

Schickt uns euer Feedback zur EpisodeEine Woche lang Post-its kleben und Leute aus dem Tagesgeschäft ziehen klingt nach Luxus. Für WD-40 DACH wird genau das zum Hebel, um Entscheidungen zu beschleunigen, Silos zu knacken und aus guten Ideen endlich umsetzbare Projekte zu machen. Wir nehmen dich mit hinter die Kulissen eines Innovationsframeworks, das nicht in der Schublade landet, sondern im Arbeitsalltag funktioniert.Gemeinsam mit Daniel Kalisch, General Manager WD-40 DACH, und unserer Kollegin Sarap erzählen wir, wie alles startet: von der lokalen Strategie nach Covid über strukturierte Interviews quer durch die Organisation bis zur Erkenntnis, dass „viel Energie“ auch chaotisch werden kann, wenn Prioritäten, Scoping und klare Wege fehlen. Daraus entsteht ein Framework, das Governance und Zusammenarbeit verbindet und den Übergang vom Reden ins Doing planbar macht.Dann wird es konkret: Ein Design Sprint pilotiert das Vorgehen an einem echten Business Case, inklusive Feldarbeit im Store mit Konsument:innen und Handelspartnern. Hypothesen kippen, weil die Realität anders ist als erwartet und genau darin liegt der Wert. Anschließend skalieren wir nicht über mehr externe Beratung, sondern über Befähigung: ein internes Facilitator-Programm mit passgenauen Modulen, offenem Bewerbungsprozess und dem markentypischen Namen „Ground Control Facilitators“. Wir sprechen auch über Reibungspunkte, Rollenfragen, Kommunikationsspannungen und darüber, warum Lernen über Erfahrung in Zeiten von KI noch wichtiger wird.

What is the economic potential of circularity? The Federal Association of the German Industries (BDI) asked Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to answer that for German industry. The report's authors, Claas Oehlmann of the BDI's Circular Economy Initiative and Alexander Meyer zum Felde of BCG, walk through the findings, with Nadine Braun of E.ON bringing the view from a company perspective. What you'll hear in this episode: • What the report found: in five sectors covering most of German industry, circular business models could double annual value creation, from 60 to 125 billion euros, by 2045. • Whether that number survives cannibalisation. If a car gets refurbished, that's one new car not sold, so does the potential still hold once you subtract the lost sales? • What companies can do today, without waiting for new regulation, and what still holds them back. Besides exploring the macroeconomic impact of the circular economy, the episode also looks at where circularity pays off for a company. This is the second episode of the IFAT Munich 2026 series, recorded live at the fair.

Social protection is seen as a solution to many problems of development, including poverty, food insecurity and access to services. But we also know that social protection has its limitations. So how do we justify getting Governments to invest in social protection programmes rather than investing in infrastructure or job creation or other services like health and education?In this episode of the IDS Between the Lines podcast, IDS Research Fellows, Kate Pruce, Stephen Devereux and IDS Director of Research Nick Nisbett talk about their new report titled: Social Protection for Food Security and Nutrition: a Business Case published by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and World Food Programme (WFP).The discussants argue that while social protection - especially cash transfers - clearly reduces hunger and food insecurity, it does not automatically improve nutrition, which is more complex and requires coordinated action across sectors. Therefore, they put forward a business case for investing in food security - and nutrition‑sensitive social protection. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eric Casaburi — founder of Serotonin Centers and former builder of Retro Fitness — is back to break down one of the most exciting business models emerging at the intersection of fitness and longevity medicine. In this episode, Eric walks us through the creation of SLIM Gym (Serotonin Light Impact Model), a turnkey longevity clinic concept that plugs directly into existing gym and fitness studio spaces (think 200–500 square feet of unused office or childcare rooms). It delivers hormone replacement therapy, medical weight loss, GLP-1 protocols, peptide therapy, IV therapy, and comprehensive lab work to gym members—without the gym owner ever touching a medical compliance headache. Eric shares the real data behind why active gym members on longevity protocols retain at dramatically higher rates, why GLP-1s may actually be a "gateway drug" into fitness culture, how Serotonin handles HIPAA compliance and nurse practitioner training through a robust internal LMS, and why he believes the next major wave in the fitness industry isn't a new piece of equipment — it's the full integration of preventative health and performance medicine on the gym floor. Key Takeaways: 

Immersive experiences are no longer limited to entertainment venues, museums, or high-profile attractions. In commercial interiors, designers are increasingly using experience-driven strategies to create stronger brand identity, deeper engagement, and more memorable places. In this In Case You Missed It episode of the I Hear Design podcast, we revisit “The Business Case for Immersive Experiences in Commercial Interiors” by Valerie Dennis Craven. The article explores how immersive design is moving from novelty to business strategy, showing how companies are blending physical environments, digital technology, storytelling, materials, and sensory design to connect with employees, visitors, and clients. Listeners will hear examples from corporate interiors, including AllianceBernstein's Dreamwall by Gensler, and learn why successful immersive environments require more than screens or spectacle. The episode also examines how authenticity, brand alignment, user experience, accessibility, budget, and long-term maintenance all play a role in determining whether an immersive interior feels meaningful—or merely distracting. Tune in to learn what designers should consider before concepting an immersive experience, why “Day 2” planning matters, and how commercial spaces can deliver value by creating moments people remember, engage with, and return to.

In this Dear Dyslexic podcast episode, Shae speaks with consultant and leader Ben Walkenhorst about psychosocial hazards and how to create psychologically safe workplaces, especially for neurodivergent people. Ben shares his background (20+ years' experience across sectors and leading teams up to 200) and his lived experience of dyslexia, including an auditory component and visual stress helped by Irlen lenses, which he says transformed his learning outcomes. He explains psychological safety as an environment where people can speak up without judgment or retaliation, and outlines three key factors: great leadership, job design/job demands, and environmental factors. Ben gives examples from remote work and local government process redesign, discusses clear role expectations, supportive feedback practices, reasonable adjustments, and why training and new legislation make this work essential.00:00 Welcome to Dear Dyslexic00:34 Meet Ben Walkenhorst04:15 Ben's Dyslexia Story07:40 Irlen Lenses and What Works09:25 Personal Strategies and Self Awareness12:04 Psychological Safety Explained16:25 Job Design and Workload23:12 Environmental Adjustments That Help26:21 Neurodivergence Trip Hazards at Work36:52 Feedback Without Triggers43:46 Why Leader Training Matters46:30 Business Case and Legal Duties48:41 Wrap Up and Next Steps

This week, London is the stage for the third edition of World Sevens Football, the pioneering 7-a-side women's football competition, and Co-Founders Jennifer Mackesy and Julie Uhrman broke into preparations to join David Cushnan in the studio to discuss the concept and its creation. Eight WSL clubs will compete at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium for a prize pot of $1.5 million. Mackesy, who has led the investment in World Sevens, which launched with two events last year, is also a minority owner of Chelsea Women and NWSL club Gotham FC. Uhrman, Co-Founder and President of Angel City FC over the past few years, and now a special advisor at the NWSL club, is this week making her public debut as Co-Founder. On the show, they assess the current health of women's football and deliver a message to sceptics who doubt its business sustainability. They also explain the entertainment-infused mission behind World Sevens; its unique format; how clubs have been convinced to participate; the player buy-in that is critical to its success; and the way the tournaments can work as part of the existing and increasingly crowded club football calendar.   ----- Nominate the rising star in your organisation for this year's Leaders Under 40 class - entries close on Monday 8th June.

Neurodivergence, Feedback & Psychological Safety at Work (Dear Dyslexic Podcast)This episode of the Dear Dyslexic podcast explores how feedback and workplace practices can impact neurodivergent people, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism, particularly when feedback feels overly critical or triggering due to past experiences. The conversation focuses on the role of great leadership in giving feedback privately and safely, discussing practical adjustments like changing red markup colors and reframing “feedback” as “advice.” It also covers how constant check-ins can raise anxiety and suggests creating adult-adult relationships where employees have permission to speak up about what works for them. The guest emphasizes the importance of training leaders in psychological, social, and emotional dynamics and neurodivergence, linking psychological safety to improved productivity and business outcomes, alongside growing legal and regulatory obligations in Australia.00:00 Welcome to Dear Dyslexic00:33 Feedback and RSD02:13 Better Ways to Give Feedback03:54 Advice Not Feedback04:20 Checking In Without Anxiety06:05 Adult Adult Leadership07:27 Training Leaders on Neurodiversity10:11 Business Case and Compliance12:22 Wrap Up and Next Episode15:19 Resources and Sign Off

Susie Silver, CDE, joins Donald Thompson to make the ROI case for psychological safety, belonging, and people-first culture at scale." — used by Google Podcasts and podcast SEO toolsSummaryPsychological safety is not a perk — it is a performance strategy that drives measurable business results.In this episode, Donald Thompson sits down with his colleague and workplace consultant Susie Silver, a Certified Diversity Executive and Senior Consultant at the Workplace Options Center for Organizational Effectiveness. Drawing from her background in fine arts, education, and nearly two decades of consulting, Susie breaks down how the most successful organizations are the ones that treat human insight as a business asset, not an afterthought.Episode Long DescriptionIn this episode of High Octane Leadership, Donald Thompson and his colleague Susie Silver answer what people-first leadership actually means for executives who are accountable to both a culture scorecard and a financial one.In this episode of High Octane Leadership, Donald and Susie pull back the curtain on what it looks like to build a culture of psychological safety from the inside out, including including the specific story of how Susie's team pitched a microlearning program, earned Donald's buy-in at The Diversity Movement, and scaled it into a seven-figure opportunity. That is not a feel-good story. That is what happens when a leader creates the conditions for people to bring their best thinking.They also dig into what leaders get wrong about "bring your authentic self," why women leaders are often set up to fail by the very phrases meant to empower them, and how to balance the culture conversation with the financial conversation without sacrificing either one.This episode is built for HR executives, CHROs, and senior leaders who need the business case for culture — not just the philosophy.Key Talking Points:Human Insight as Strategy: How do you measure belonging the same way you measure revenue, and what are leaders who skip this step consistently getting wrong? The Micro-Training Revolution: What happened when one team replaced all-day workshops with 30-minute Monday sessions — and why 70% of an entire workforce, including the CEO, showed up every time?Psychological Safety in Practice: What does psychological safety actually require from a manager on a Tuesday morning, when the stakes are real and the buzzwords are useless?The "Be Bold" Lie: Why telling underrepresented leaders to bring their authentic selves — without redesigning the environment they are walking into — is one of the most damaging things a well-meaning organization can do?Empathy and Economics: What do organizations that treat culture and performance as competing priorities consistently get wrong — and what are the leaders winning right now doing instead?Chapter Markers0:00 - Intro: Susie Silver02:15 - From Fine Arts to the Boardroom: Susie's Journey05:00 - Translating Human Insight Into Business Strategy07:30 - What Psychological Safety Actually Looks Like in Practice10:00 - Teaching Employees to Speak the Language of Leadership13:00 - The Micro-Training Pilot: From Idea to Seven Figures18:00 - Stop Debating.

Susie spent 18 years in fine arts education before realizing the most broken learning environments were inside corporations — and that career pivot became the foundation of her work as a Certified Diversity Executive and Senior Consultant at the Workplace Options Center for Organizational Effectiveness. With a background in fine arts, education, and nearly 18 years in the classroom, Susie pivoted into organizational consulting focused on psychological safety, inclusive culture, and LGBTQ plus inclusion. A serial entrepreneur and passionate advocate for building workplaces where people and performance thrive together, Susie brings a rare combination of creative thinking, business acumen, and real-world data to every engagement.Resources:Donald Thompson LinkedInDonald's Books: https://donaldthompson.com/books-resources/The Center for Organizational Effectiveness by Workplace Options Website Susie Silver LinkedInWorkplace Options 2026 Psychological Safety Study: https://psychsafety.workplaceoptions.com/resource/the-coe-2026-psychological-safety-study/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=psych_safety Stay connected with Donald: Get Donald's newsletter that is packed with actionable insights, and the kind of straight-talk leadership intelligence that helps build authority, drive performance, and stay ahead of what is coming next: donaldthompson.com.Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldthompsonjrSubscribe on SubStack: https://substack.com/@donaldthompsonjr High Octane Leadership is hosted by The Diversity Movement CEO and executive coach Donald Thompson and is a production of Earfluence.Order UNDERESTIMATED: A CEO'S UNLIKELY PATH TO SUCCESS, by Donald Thompson.

All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we're bringing you special daily episodes from Zurich.   In our fourth episode of the week, we're talking to a leader who spent 30 years working for Swedish retail giant IKEA: Jesper Brodin. Jesper recently retired after eight years as CEO of Ingka Group, the primary operator of IKEA's global home furnishing stores, and in March 2026 he was named Board Chair of The Earthshot Prize.  Climate Week Zurich includes a focus on how sustainability can build competitive advantage, and in our interview Jesper explains how his career continuously showed him that companies can embrace sustainability without sacrificing economic benefits, quality or affordability.  "It actually is a good business to be a good business," he says.    To navigate geopolitical headwinds, Jesper says sustainable businesses need to strike the right balance between near-term and long-term thinking. "I think a long-term view gives you perspective. Then I think you should operate with a short-term anxiety and drive," Jesper says. "Governments and presidents will come and go, but the issues about climate change and about resource scarcity will remain."    William Prince of Wales launched The Earthshot Prize in 2020 to find and scale innovative solutions to the world's biggest environmental challenges by 2030.

AI data sovereignty is quickly becoming one of the most critical issues in global technology—and one of the least understood.

April 29, 2026: Bill Gates is predicting a 2-day workweek. Jamie Dimon says 3.5. Eric Yuan, the CEO of Zoom, says 5 days is over. Fortune just amplified a major study claiming we waste a full day every week procrastinating. The 4-day workweek movement has never had more wind at its back. In this episode, I'm making the bulletproof business case against it. I'll walk through eight reasons the case doesn't hold up — and why the policy isn't likely to spread broadly anytime soon, even with all the keynote energy behind it. I'm covering the studies that don't measure what they claim to measure, the Iceland myth, the company failures that get scrubbed from the data, the AI rhetorical pivot, why the happiness data isn't actually a business case, the wage math nobody talks about, the competitive reality at the country and company level, and why even the countries running pilots are voting against legislating it.  

Trust isn't just a feel-good metric. According to an IPA Effectiveness Data Bank analysis of over 800 campaigns, 93% of campaigns that drive very large trust gains also deliver at least one major business effect. This week, Elena and Rob are joined by Catrina McAuliffe, SVP of Brand Strategy at Marketing Architects, to dig into what brand trust really means, how to measure it without turning your brand tracker into a "vibes recital," and what marketers get wrong when they try to advertise their way out of a trust deficit.

What happens when corporate citizenship is no longer a “nice to have,” but a business imperative under scrutiny? And how can associations help members prove value when the environment turns uncertain?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Andrea Wood, President and CEO of the Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals (ACCP).

Alycia Anderson introduces an episode of Pushing Forward with Alycia focused on “glass children,” siblings of disabled kids who often advocate naturally while sometimes feeling invisible, and interviews Meghan Connolly Haupt, founder of Inclusive Saratoga. Meghan shares how her 13-year-old daughter's question sparked Meghan to use her 30-year social impact marketing background to help businesses and communities improve disability inclusion. They discuss how “separate but equal” still limits shared experiences, how loneliness and separation affect disabled people daily, and why barriers are often cultural as much as physical. Meghan explains an empathy-plus-creativity approach, offers low-cost accessibility fixes, and outlines the business case and closes with “relentless forward progress.” The Heart of this Episode

In this vital episode, host Ashish Kothari kicks off the new year by tackling a topic that affects half the global population but remains shrouded in "perimenopause blindness." Guest Kacy Fleming, a healthcare veteran and founder of The Fuchsia Tent, shares her harrowing personal journey through a transition she wasn't prepared for. Together, they break down why menopause isn't just a private "bothersome" health issue, but a critical business priority impacting productivity, retention, and $26.6 billion in annual U.S. healthcare costs. This is an essential conversation for leaders of all genders to understand the "midlife collision" and how to support their most experienced workforce.Main Topics CoveredThe "Blindness" Epidemic: Why both men and women often fail to recognize perimenopause symptoms, attributing them instead to stress or life crises.The Business Case for Care: Analyzing the billions lost to absenteeism, turnover, and "presenteeism" due to unsupported hormonal transitions.The Midlife Collision: Navigating the "barge" of a booming career and demanding home life while riding a hormonal roller coaster.Fragmented Symptoms: Moving beyond hot flashes to understand the cognitive fatigue, anxiety, and "anhedonia" (loss of joy) that impact work performance.The 3H Framework for Leaders: A strategic approach involving Healthcare (policies), Help (leadership skills), and HRT/Therapy access.Clinical Advocacy: The importance of seeking menopause-trained clinicians and moving past dismissive medical advice.Key TakeawaysMenopause is a Biomarker: Symptoms like night sweats aren't just uncomfortable; they are biomarkers for future cardio-metabolic and neurodegenerative health.Clarity Follows Physiology: Before blowing up a career or relationship during a midlife crisis, check if your "lens" is clouded by hormonal fluctuations.Universal Leadership Skills: Supporting menopause doesn't require "special treatment"—it requires the universal skill of having compassionate, difficult conversations.Audit, Don't Just Add: Before buying new "wellness apps," audit your current health plans for $0 co-pays on HRT and remove "step edits" that delay proper care.Pay Now or Pay Later: Organizations can invest in proactive care now or pay much higher costs later in the form of healthcare claims and lost talent.Connect with the GuestWebsite: The Fuchsia TentLinkedIn: Kacy FlemingFree Resource: The Greene Scale (Symptom Tracker)Don't let your top talent suffer in silence.
