In diesem Interview mit Mario Jung (OMT GmbH) und Melanie Rudolph (Based GmbH) beleuchtet Melanie, wie Community Building im digitalen Marketing nicht nur ein Buzzword, sondern ein strategischer Gamechanger sein kann. Der zentrale Gedanke: Erfolgreiche Communities entstehen nicht, wenn Du Dich in den Mittelpunkt stellst – sondern wenn Du echten Mehrwert für andere schaffst.

Dieses Mal habe ich Besuch von Anne und Alex bekommen – und wir haben geredet. Über den schicksalhaften Tag am Strand. In dieser Folge wird Mut belohnt. Zweifel, ein Geständnis, ein Buch und eine neue Ehe, ein neues Leben, Erleben und schließlich unvergleichliche Extase. Wir sprechen über das Buch, ein Outing am Strand, Lernen, Keuschhaltung und natürlich über all die großen Kleinigkeiten auf dem Weg. Zu viele Buzzwords? Diese Folge muss gehört werden, um alles zu verstehen. Die Shownotes enthalten mehr Infos, Links und Bilder.

Do you remember marketing meetups? Not the polished, sponsor-filled kind. I mean the scrappy, “grab a coffee and chat” kind. No agenda. No name tags. Just people who geek out over marketing gathering to swap stories, ideas, and maybe a slice of pizza. Then  social media distracted us.  It was easier to post on Twitter and LinkedIn from the comfort of your bet then it was to get out of bed and come to a networking even . Then along came  COVID... well, it cleared the calendar completely. And somehow, we never bounced back… I missed those conversations. So I posted a note on LinkedIn and Instagram,  and an event on : “I'll be at my favorite coffee shop, Friday 3–5. Join me?” No RSVPs, no pressure. Just show up. I was prepared to sit outside enjoy my coffee and read my book, but ... at 3:05, someone showed up. An old friend, I hadn't seen since Covid, then along came someone who used to frequent the marketing meet ups.   And that was it.  The three of us, two hours, one fantastic conversation about work, marketing trends, life, and everything in between.  My two friends had never met, so the connection was a win.  Randy, was hoping to find a place to test his stand up comedy, and I got him hooked up.  And me, I learned a great way to use Chat GPT to improve my vacation planning.  So what did I learn with my little Marketing meetup experiment.   I probably need to invite more people directly and send a reminder the day before. But honestly? The magic wasn't in the headcount. It was in the connection. Will I do it again? Absolutely. Before it gets too cold to linger outside with a latte and good company. If you are in Indy, maybe you want to drop by and if it is too long, plan your meet up. Start small and have fun!

In dieser Episode des Agile Growth Podcasts spricht Kai mit Michael Mahlberg auf dem Retrospective Facilitators Gathering in Österreich über die Frage: Ist Agilität schon gestorben – und was entsteht aus der Asche? Gemeinsam blicken sie auf die Wellen der Agilität seit den 90ern, die Verwässerung des Begriffs durch den „Agile Industrial Complex“ und Parallelen zur Lean-Bewegung. Michael erklärt, warum es heute wichtiger denn je ist, zurück zu den Ursprüngen zu gehen, eine eigene Sprache in Organisationen zu finden und Facilitation als echte Führungsqualität zu verstehen. Ein tiefgehendes Gespräch über die Zukunft agiler Arbeit jenseits des Buzzwords.

In this solo episode, Dr. Darrin Peppard dives into the leadership buzzwords we all hear — and probably use — without stopping to define. Words like collaboration, accountability, engagement, data-driven, and professional development can either sharpen our work or blur it entirely, depending on how leaders frame them.Darrin shares Webster's definitions of 10 powerful words, explores how they're often misused in both education and corporate spaces, and provides leadership takeaways for creating clarity.If you've ever told your team you want more “collaboration” or asked for “rigor” without explaining what that means, this episode is for you.Takeaways:Why words lose their power when they're left undefined10 common buzzwords and what they should meanHow clarity in language creates clarity in actionWords are powerful — but only when leaders define them clearly.Timestamps Outline00:00–02:25 | Introduction, inspiration for the episode, why words matter02:25–04:45 | The danger of buzzwords without definition04:48–07:12 | Word #1: Collaboration07:12–09:34 | Word #2: Accountability09:34–12:02 | Word #3: Engagement12:02–15:41 | Word #4: Curriculum15:41–17:32 | Word #5: Rigor17:32–20:47 | Word #6: Fidelity20:47–23:19 | Word #7: Best Practices23:19–24:54 | Word #8: Data-Driven24:54–26:38 | Word #9: Expectations26:38–30:17 | Word #10: Professional Development30:17–End | Wrap-up, leadership challenge, and call to actionConnect with Darrin on social media @DarrinMPeppard on all platforms Website: www.roadtoawesome.netEmail: darrin@roadtoawesome.net

In this episode, we dive into the core theme of our season: moving beyond the buzzwords of equity and into tangible action. We explore the powerful idea that what we do, not just what we say, defines who we are. Our discussion is rooted in the words of James Baldwin, Gholdy Muhammad, and the timeless message of Martin Niemöller's poem.Key TakeawaysIntegrity in Action: True integrity is what we do when no one is watching. We discussed how this applies to educators and leaders who are committed to advocating for their students behind closed doors.A "Hum" of Commitment: We introduced the concept of the "quiet, persistent hum" of living out your values, even when it's difficult or goes against the grain.The Power of Joy: Drawing from Dr. Gholdy Muhammad's framework, we explored joy as a critical act of resistance in equity work. We discussed how defining and pursuing joy is essential for both students and educators.The Importance of Authenticity: You heard a personal story about how to create a brave and belonging space for multilingual learners by valuing their heart language and being vulnerable as an educator.From Theory to Practice: We shared how these principles translate to the work of instructional coaches and school leaders who must build trust and a culture of psychological safety.Quotes from the Episode“We are not what we say we believe; we are what we do.” — James Baldwin“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” — Martin Niemöller"Equity is teaching and learning that is centered on justice, liberation, truth, and freedom, and is free of bias and favoritism.” — Gholdy MuhammadReflection Questions:For Teachers: What is one small way you can put your values into practice in the classroom? What is one way you can be brave and vulnerable for the students in your care?For Instructional Coaches and School Leaders: What is one small thing you can do to create a space for teachers where they feel safe and where their voices are valued? What is one story you can share with your team to show them that you're in the work with them, not just asking them to do it?Cultivating Genius: An Equity Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy by Dr. Gholdy MuhammadUnearthing Joy: A Guide to Culturally and Historically Responsive Teaching and Learning by Dr. Gholdy MuhammadChoosing to See: A Framework for Math Equity in the Classroom by Dr. Pamela Seda and Kyndal BrownIf you're looking for support to continue this work in your own school or classroom, I invite you to explore my Equity Audit Tools, Student Data Dive Tool, and Coaching services.

Wettbewerbsfähigkeit in der Eingliederungshilfe – ein Blick hinter die Kulissen der Stiftung Waldheim In dieser Episode der Reihe Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sichern spricht Kurswechsler Didi mit Karl-Georg Issing, Vorstand der Stiftung Waldheim. Die Einrichtung begleitet Menschen mit Behinderung und steht – wie viele Organisationen im sozialen Sektor – unter steigendem Veränderungsdruck. Gemeinsam blicken sie auf die Herausforderungen eines zunehmend komplexen Marktumfeldes und auf die Notwendigkeit, Organisationen zukunftsfähig zu gestalten. Markt, Mensch, Mitarbeit: Dreifacher Wettbewerbsdruck Für Carl-Georg Issing ist klar: Wettbewerbsfähigkeit im sozialen Bereich hat viele Gesichter. Neben den eigentlichen Kund:innen – also den Menschen mit Beeinträchtigung – sind es auch die Kostenträger und vor allem die Mitarbeitenden, die den Markt mitgestalten. Der Fachkräftemangel, steigende Anforderungen und sich verändernde Behinderungsbilder machen die Lage nicht einfacher. Besonders die Versorgung von Menschen mit hohem Hilfebedarf wird zur Herausforderung – regional wie bundesweit. Organisation entwickeln, bevor es eng wird Die Stiftung Waldheim hat sich früh entschieden, nicht auf Krisen zu warten. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein umfassender OE-Prozess, den Kurswechsel begleitet. Ziel: die Organisation zukunftssicher gestalten. Der Prozess hat eine beeindruckende Breite – die in dieser Episode angerissen wird. Besonders wichtig: eine Balance zwischen Stabilität und Entwicklung. Sinn allein reicht nicht – Anforderungen realistisch begegnen Auch wenn die Arbeit mit Menschen oft mit Sinnstiftung assoziiert wird, macht Herr Issing deutlich: Romantisieren hilft nicht. Die Aufgaben sind anspruchsvoll – körperlich, emotional und organisatorisch herausfordernd. Wer hier arbeitet, braucht mehr als nur Motivation auf Basis der Sinnstiftung. Es braucht Struktur, Unterstützung und gute Rahmenbedingungen, um langfristig bestehen zu können – für Mitarbeitende und für die Organisation als Ganzes. Jetzt reinhören – in eine ehrliche, praxisnahe Episode über Zukunftssicherung jenseits von Buzzwords

A fundraising story that raises millions can also put a life in danger.

Diana shares the powerful and personal story of how she learned that a successful fundraising campaign can have devastating consequences for a story owner. She reveals why even well-intentioned nonprofits are at risk of ruining their reputation and breaking community trust. Discover how to create a simple and consistent process for gathering stories that protects your clients, honors your mission, and ultimately inspires more giving. This conversation provides a clear framework to help you raise money with both confidence and integrity.

BUZZWORDS is a new pilot podcast from Open City, produced in collaboration with the arts and culture podcast EMPIRE LINES. The podcast unpacks words and phrases often overused in the fields of art and architecture. Produced by curator, writer, and researcher Jelena Sofronijevic, each episode invites artists, curators, architects, and academics to consider what we really mean when we use terms like “sustainable” or “decolonised.”In this episode, Jelena speaks with artist Jasmina Cibic about the idea of “care thinking” and what it means to be both care-ful and care-less in the practice, performance, and preservation of art and cultural artefacts. Their conversation ranges from Cibic's current exhibition The Gift Ecology at Void Art Centre in Derry, to her representation of Slovenia at the 55th Venice Biennale, exploring how care shapes her work and what we might learn from it.The theme music is “Devotion” by Jim Hall from the Free Music Archive, licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.Subscribe to the Open City Podcast on Spotify, Soundcloud or iTunesThe Open City Podcast is supported by Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and culture platform and produced in association with the Architects' Journal, London Society, C20 Society and Save Britain's Heritage.The Open City Podcast is recorded and produced at the Open City offices located in Bureau. Bureau is a co-working space for creatives offering a new approach to membership workspace.

Kurze Zusammenfassung: In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Nora Urru – UX-Designerin mit über 24 Jahren Berufserfahrung – über die großen Herausforderungen und Chancen beim Thema UX in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU).

Verkaufen an Ärzte – Insider-Tipps und Trends aus der Praxis!   Zunächst boomt der Gesundheitsmarkt, denn immer mehr Leistungen wandern in die ambulante Versorgung. Trotzdem wird Verkaufen an Ärzte schwieriger: Klassische Kaltakquise über Außendienst oder Telefon greift immer seltener. Deshalb spreche ich mit HNO-Arzt, Unternehmer und KI-Enthusiast Alvar Mollik darüber, wie du heute wirklich in Praxen reinkommst – und zwar mit relevanten Mehrwerten statt Floskeln.   Alvar ist nicht nur praktizierender Arzt, sondern auch Gründer von felia.ai. Die Plattform wiederum bringt einen smarten Sprachassistenten in den Praxisalltag, wodurch Dokumentation einfacher wird und Prozesse messbar schneller laufen. Außerdem analysieren wir, wie sich der Zugang zu Praxen verändert hat und weshalb Vertreter scheitern, wenn sie keinen konkreten Nutzen mitbringen.   Die größte Hürde im Praxisbetrieb bleibt Zeit. Zwischen Dokumentation, Abrechnung und Wartezimmer bleibt kaum Raum für Verkaufsgespräche. Genau deshalb punktet KI: Felia verwandelt Sprachaufzeichnungen direkt in strukturierte Arztbriefe, dabei bleibt alles DSGVO-konform. Dadurch erhöhst du den Return on Time der Praxis – und damit deine Abschlusschancen.   Außerdem sprechen wir über Gatekeeper: MFA entscheiden häufig, ob du überhaupt durchkommst. Stattdessen mit Druck zu arbeiten, brauchst du Höflichkeit, eine klare Nutzenbotschaft sowie kurze, strukturierte Abläufe. Walk-ins funktionieren weiterhin – wenn du Praxiszeiten respektierst, Material mit echtem Mehrwert dalässt und anschließend einen präzisen Follow-up sicherst.   So überwindest du Skepsis: Erstens zeigst du Referenzen aus vergleichbaren Praxen; zweitens bietest du einen Test unter realen Bedingungen an; drittens rechnest du den Zeitgewinn konkret vor. Somit wird ein 10-Minuten-Demo-Call, der täglich 30 Minuten Dokumentation spart, zum No-Brainer. Kurzum: Vertrauen schlägt Features – deshalb lieber Ergebnisse zeigen als Buzzwords.   Danach schauen wir nach vorn: Vernetzte Praxissysteme, digitale Patientenakten und Wearables werden Standard. Gleichzeitig bleibt Datenschutz kritisch; daher zählen transparente Prozesse, saubere Auftragsverarbeitung und schneller Support. Wer reibungslos integriert und Störungen minimiert, gewinnt langfristig. Schließlich entscheidet nicht die schönste Demo, sondern die stabile Anwendung im Praxisalltag.   Mein Fazit: Willst du im Gesundheitsmarkt wachsen, dann fokussiere dich auf messbaren Nutzen, glasklare Kommunikation und ein kompaktes Onboarding. Damit wird Verkaufen an Ärzte vom Zufallsspiel zum planbaren Prozess. Wenn du Berater, Vertriebler oder Gründer bist, bekommst du in dieser Episode konkrete Schritte, Formulierungen sowie Tools, mit denen du unmittelbar starten kannst.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, The Podcast on Stoicism.In this episode of The Via Stoica Podcast, Benny speaks with Dr. John Sellars, one of today's leading scholars of Stoicism and the history of philosophy. Dr. Sellars is Reader in the History of Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, Associate Editor for the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series at King's College London, and a founding member of both Modern Stoicism and the Aurelius Foundation. He has authored and edited numerous works, including Stoicism (recently revised), Stoicism and Emotion, and The Cambridge Companion to Marcus Aurelius.Our conversation traces Dr. Sellars' journey from his early fascination with science and politics to his lifelong study of ancient philosophy. We explore how the Stoics carried forward the legacy of Socrates in a way that feels both practical and deeply human, and why their materialist, empiricist outlook resonated more with him than Plato's metaphysical idealism. Dr. Sellars reflects on how philosophy has shaped his own life, from changing his views on free will to cultivating a “big picture” perspective that keeps ego and ambition in check.The discussion ranges widely: from common misconceptions about Stoicism, such as that it is unemotional, politically disengaged, or only for men, to the role of community in mental health, and the tension between Stoic determinism and ideas of God, providence, and nature. We also dive into Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, examining why the book endures, how Marcus grappled with death and difficult people, and why we should see him not as a perfect sage but as a flawed human being struggling to live well.Dr. Sellars also shares insights into his ongoing projects, including new research on Stoicism and leadership (with Justin Stead of the Aurelius Foundation), and his work with psychologists at Royal Holloway testing Stoic practices in peer-reviewed studies on resilience, anxiety, and anger.Whether you are new to Stoicism or looking to go deeper into its history and modern applications, this episode offers both scholarly depth and practical wisdom for living a good life.You can find Dr. Sellars' books, including the revised edition of Stoicism and The Cambridge Companion to Marcus Aurelius, through major booksellers. To learn more, visit the Aurelius Foundation or the Center for the Study and Application of Stoicism at Royal Holloway.Support the show⁠https://viastoica.com⁠https://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coaching⁠https://viastoica.com/benny-voncken⁠https://viastoica.com/brendan-hogle⁠https://x.com/ViaStoica⁠info@viastoica.com⁠Produced by: ⁠http://badmic.com

Let's be honest - manifesting is one of those words that stirs up a lot. For some, it feels empowering, magical, and full of possibility. For others, it's become a buzzword, co-opted by hustle culture or watered down by oversimplified self-help advice.In today's episode, host Elizabeth Mintun takes a deep dive into exploring what manifesting means beneath the buzzwords. She looks at the deeper, ancient roots of manifesting across spiritual traditions. Elizabeth also explores how manifesting can be both mystical and practical, rooted in both intention, awareness, and aligned action. Key TakeawaysMany of us are better at giving or striving than receiving. Receiving, whether it's support, guidance, or the unfolding of what we've asked for - is a crucial, often overlooked part of the process.Manifesting isn't about bypassing reality. It's about attuning to what you need, what's ready to emerge, and how life might already be moving in your favor.It is important to trust the process as it unfolds, recognizing that life shifts happen as we are ready for them, and as we open ourselves to grow into them. ✨ Reflection Question:What desire or longing feels most alive in me right now and am I willing to receive support in letting it unfold?Resources Learn more about 1:1 Coaching here.

In this thought leadership session, ITSPmagazine co-founders Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli moderate a dynamic conversation with five industry leaders offering their take on what will dominate the show floor and side-stage chatter at Black Hat USA 2025.Leslie Kesselring, Founder of Kesselring Communications, surfaces how media coverage is shifting in real time—no longer driven solely by talk submissions but now heavily influenced by breaking news, regulation, and public-private sector dynamics. From government briefings to cyberweapon disclosures, the pressure is on to cover what matters, not just what's scheduled.Daniel Cuthbert, member of the Black Hat Review Board and Global Head of Security Research at Banco Santander, pushes back on the hype. He notes that while tech moves fast, security research often revisits decades-old bugs. His sharp observation? “The same bugs from the ‘90s are still showing up—sometimes discovered by researchers younger than the vulnerabilities themselves.”Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer at Steel Patriot Partners, shifts the conversation to operational risk. He raises concern over Model-Chained Prompting (MCP) and how AI agents can rewrite enterprise processes without visibility or traceability—especially alarming in environments lacking kill switches or proper controls.Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, offers market-level insights, forecasting AI agent saturation with over 20 vendors already present in the expo hall. While excited by real advancements, he warns of funding velocity outpacing substance and cautions against the cycle of overinvestment in vaporware.Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & GM at Akamai Technologies, brings the product and customer lens—framing the security conversation around how AI use cases are rolling out fast while security coverage is still catching up. From OT to LLMs, securing both AI and with AI is a top concern.This episode is not just about placing bets on buzzwords. It's about uncovering what's real, what's noise, and what still needs fixing—no matter how long we've been talking about it.___________Guests:Leslie Kesselring, Founder at Cyber PR Firm Kesselring Communications | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesliekesselring/“This year, it's the news cycle—not the sessions—that's driving what media cover at Black Hat.”Daniel Cuthbert, Black Hat Training Review Board and Global Head of Security Research for Banco Santander | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-cuthbert0x/“Why are we still finding bugs older than the people presenting the research?”Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiennon/“The urge to consolidate tools is driven by procurement—not by what defenders actually need.”Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer at Steel Patriot Partners | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-parisi-4009b2261/“Responsible AI use isn't a policy—it's something we have to actually implement.”Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & General Manager at Akamai Technologies | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshchokshi/“The business side is racing to deploy AI—but security still hasn't caught up.”Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebAkamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcDropzoneAI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641Stellar Cyber: https://itspm.ag/stellar-9dj3___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from our Black Hat USA 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/bhusa25ITSPmagazine Webinar: What's Heating Up Before Black Hat 2025: Place Your Bet on the Top Trends Set to Shake Up this Year's Hacker Conference — An ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar | https://www.crowdcast.io/c/whats-heating-up-before-black-hat-2025-place-your-bet-on-the-top-trends-set-to-shake-up-this-years-hacker-conferenceCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?
