Podcasts about Change management

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Assistive Technology Conference of New England, put on by TechACCESS of Rhode Island. It was a great event that brought together professionals and companies that are trying to improve accessibility through technology for those with ranges of physical and intellectual challenges. Walking around, looking at the exhibits, and talking with people, I was continuously impressed by the innovation and dedication around me. I would say it was “inspiring” but not in the way that one might usually think. The word “inspiring” can have a negative connotation in this world because it puts people with such challenges on a pedestal, as if their job is to be inspiring, or all they are is their disability, or makes people with these challenges a spectacle. Having a child who is intellectually and developmentally disabled, I totally get that argument.When I say “inspiring”, I am referring to the people who are working and creating products in this space. It is inspiring for me to see professionals dedicate their work to improve and enhance the lives of others, no matter who that population is. That is very cool, and inspirational. No matter what job we are doing, we should be thinking of ways that we can improve the lives and experiences of others. That is what experience design and this podcast is all about: showcasing the work of those who are trying to apply their time, knowledge, and creativity to improving experiences and lives in ways large and small.One of the things I need to do more of is highlight people who are working in the world of accessible technology. So stay tuned for that!And my guest today on Experience by Design is doing the work to improve people's lives as well in his own way. Like many guests on ExD, Chad Hufford of Veritas Wealth Management in Anchorage, Alaska is a behavioral scientist at heart, fascinated with what makes people act the way they do and what can be done to get them to make changes. He has applied this interest in the work he does as a financial planner. He does this up in Alaska, focusing his efforts on those who are working in those uniquely blue-collar Alaskan jobs where high risk can come with good pay. His goal is to help them make the best decisions possible with what they earn, but also help to create cultural and behavioral change in his clients. Part of this is to get people to not just think, but to act. His new book “Forging Financial Freedom: Constructing Blue-Collar Millionaires with Seven Wealth Building Lessons Extracted from the Alaska Oilfield”, lays out his experiences and lessons from doing this work. We talk about Chad's fascination with fitness, and how that led him to be interested in medical school. Biochemistry taught him a lot about problem solving and complex interactions within systems. The same can be said for the financial world, where a lot is beyond your control. Despite that, you can control how you act and what your vision of your future is. We also talk about unique aspects of Alaskan culture, overcoming complexity in financial decision making, how to build trust in financial planning, and making for better financial literacy and experiences. He emphasizes the importance of emotional connection and empathy in financial advising, and why friction is required to allow for thoughtful consideration. We explore how AI and technology can reduce friction in financial transactions but should not replace human empathy. Chad Hufford: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-hufford-066208100/Forging Financial Freedom: https://www.forgingfinancialfreedom.com/singleVeritas Wealth Management: https://www.veritasalaska.com/

What if the stories you tell yourself are the very thing shaping — or sabotaging — your leadership? In this powerful episode of the Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast, Nicole sits down with Dr. Jaime Goff, psychologist, executive coach, and author of The Secure Leader. Together, they unpack the hidden forces that shape how leaders think, feel, and behave — stories formed early in life that quietly influence everything from delegation to decision-making.Dr. Goff explains why humans rely so heavily on story to make sense of the world, how neural pathways become entrenched through repetition, and why the good news of neuroplasticity means every leader can rewrite their narrative. Nicole and Jaime explore secure vs. insecure attachment styles, the roots of perfectionism and approval-seeking, emotional regulation, personal triggers, ambiguity, connection in leadership, and what it truly takes to become a secure, resilient, and authentic leader.If you've ever wondered why you lead the way you lead — or how to elevate your leadership story — this conversation is your roadmap.Vibrant Highlights:[00:01:51–00:03:24] Why Story Shapes Leadership. Dr. Goff explains how humans interpret the world through internal stories and neural pathways — and how those stories can become invisible scripts driving leadership behavior.[00:15:11–00:17:42] The Two Questions That Define Your Leadership Story. Am I worthy? Are others trustworthy? These two unconscious beliefs shape everything about how leaders show up — from delegation to receiving feedback.[00:35:00–00:39:19] How to Move from Reactive to Regulated. Using emotional awareness, triggers, naming feelings, and reflection techniques, leaders can create the space between stimulus and response where growth happens.Connect with Dr. Jaime:Website - https://drjaimegoff.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dr_jaimegoff/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjaimegoff/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@drjaimegoffGoodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/235737746-the-secure-leaderAmazon - https://www.amazon.com/Secure-Leader-Discover-Leadership-Story/dp/B0FBZ39H8Y/Bookshop - https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-secure-leader-discover-the-hidden-forces-that-shape-your-leadership-story-and-how-to-change-them/f89704d58aefbc84 Also mentioned in this episode:Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl: https://a.co/d/8mgGTUxListen at vibrantculture.com/podcast or wherever you get your podcasts!Book Nicole to help your organization ignite clarity, accountability, and energy through her SHINE™ Coaching MethodologyVisit vibrantculture.comEmail: nicole@vibrantculture.comWatch Nicole's TEDx Talk: https://youtu.be/SMbxA90bfXE

Sende uns Deine NachrichtIn dieser Episode sprechen Norman Müller und Andreas Schmidt über die zentrale Frage unserer Zeit. Wer nicht lernt, KI zu führen, wird bald von ihr dirigiert. Sie zeichnen die entscheidende Linie zwischen Optimierung und echter Transformation und zeigen, warum eine digitalisierte Raupe auf einem Skateboard eben noch kein Schmetterling ist. Statt Tool Talk und Prompt Rezepten geht es um Haltung, Vertrauen, Mut und die Fähigkeit, Geschäftsmodelle radikal neu zu denken, bevor es andere tun.Am Beispiel des IHK Zertifikatslehrgangs AI Leadership und Change Manager wird deutlich, warum erfolgreiches AI Leadership mit Change Management beginnt und erst danach mit Technologie weitergeht. Die beiden sprechen über Sandkästen in Unternehmen, epische Ziele, die Angst vor Fehlern und darüber, warum Führungskräfte akzeptieren müssen, dass sie nicht mehr die Klügsten im Raum sind, sondern Dirigenten eines immer diverseren, technologisch versierten Orchesters.Shownoteshttps://ventureaibriefing.substack.com www.bundesverband.aiSupport the show________________ Du möchtest noch mehr?

„Warnhinweis: Wir sprechen über mentale Gesundheit, insbesondere Depression, bis hin zu suizidaler Gedanken. Diese Folge ersetzt keine Therapie. Wenn du dich unsicher fühlst, überspring sie oder hör sie mit einer vertrauten Person." „Ich wusste: Wenn ich das wirklich verstehen will, dann muss ich es mir selbst beibringen.“ Georg Roesl war Profisportler, Seriengründer und ist heute vor allem eines: Mentaltrainer mit Mission. In dieser Folge spricht er mit Stefan Bald über seinen außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg, der ihn von internationalen Billardturnieren über 16 Unternehmensgründungen bis hin zur Entwicklung einer eigenen Methode für mentale Gesundheit geführt hat. „Meine Grund-DNA ist Verkaufen. Aber mein Herz schlägt heute für mentale Aufklärung.“ George erzählt, wie er nach Jahren im Highspeed-Modus einen Gang runterschalten musste – und wie daraus sein bislang größtes Projekt entstand: die MHR-Methode (Meine Hausregel). Ein pragmatischer, verständlicher Leitfaden für mentale Gesundheit – basierend auf Selbsterfahrung, Selbststudium und dem tiefen Wunsch, anderen zu helfen, bevor es zu spät ist. Wir sprechen über: • den Sprung vom Leistungssport in die New Economy, • warum Vertrieb eine Lebensschule ist, • die Herausforderungen psychischer Gesundheit im Unternehmertum, • Georges Stiftung zur Unterstützung junger Menschen in akuten Krisen, • und darüber, wie mentale Fitness heute gedacht und gelebt werden sollte. „Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich verstehe meine eigene Psyche nicht – also hab ich sie mir übersetzt.“ Eine intensive Folge über Höhen, Tiefen, Wendepunkte – und den Mut, anderen den Weg zu erleichtern, den man selbst fast nicht geschafft hätte.

Fragmentation and unclear goals might be the reason you're not seeing real change.In this episode, we go beyond theory and dive into a real-world case study of a school leadership team that thought they were aligned—until a simple conversation around “fluency routines” exposed deeper issues of misalignment.

Generative AI is moving fast, but most organizations aren't. Tim Creasey and Paul Gonzalez have spent their careers studying why. As leaders at Prosci, they've worked with thousands of teams navigating complex change, and in this episode they share what their research says about the human side of transformation.They discuss why traditional tactics like comms and training break down in the face of rapid AI adoption, and how successful organizations create the conditions for people to actually change. From hands-on leadership and peer-driven learning to the power of experimentation and the ADKAR model, this conversation is packed with practical tools and hard-earned insights.Tim and Paul also explore how AI is reshaping organizational structures, what “exposure hours” reveal about executive readiness, and why culture beats mandates every time. Whether you're leading change or stuck inside it, this episode offers a grounded look at what actually works when everything is in motion.Key takeaways:Bold vision is not enough - it also needs to be balancedThe most effective AI leaders communicate both where the organization is going and what teams are doing right now to get there. Prosci's research shows that near-term clarity matters just as much as long-term ambition.Leaders need to use the tools themselvesTim and Paul introduce the idea of “exposure hours” as a leading indicator of readiness. The more time executives spend actively experimenting with AI, the better positioned they are to lead transformation.Experimentation requires structure and safetyOrganizations can't just tell people to try new things. They need to carve out time, reduce the stakes, and make experimentation a shared and visible part of how work gets done.Real change still happens one person at a timeDespite all the new tech, the fundamentals haven't changed. Individuals need awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, and reinforcement to adopt new behaviors. Prosci's ADKAR model remains essential for making change stick.LinkedIn: Prosci: LinkedInWebsite: Prosci | The Global Leader in Change Management Solutions00:00 Introduction to Change Management and AI Adoption00:25 Meet the Experts: Tim Creasey and Paul Gonzalez01:51 The Challenges of Change Management04:07 Generative AI Transformation: Unique Challenges07:44 Key Ingredients for Successful AI Adoption15:18 Building a Culture of Experimentation20:43 The Role of Leadership in AI Transformation25:54 Future Organizational Designs with AI27:02 Disruptive Organizational Changes28:00 Examples of Innovative Enterprises28:15 Military Analogies in Business29:30 Challenges in Organizational Change30:36 Timeless Principles of Change Management31:36 The Role of Leadership in Change33:13 ADKAR Model for Change35:51 Addressing Resistance to Change40:05 Effective Communication Strategies47:48 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections

You've got a strong teacher, strong strategies—and still, the innovation stalls. What gives? In this episode, we tackle what's really behind resistance in math PD and why most implementation efforts collapse long before proficiency is even possible.Building on our last episode, we unpack how a school we support used the five implementation stages—Non-Use, Awareness, Mechanical, Routine, and Proficient—to move real teacher practice forward in mathematics. You'll hear how assumptions like “math teachers just need to buy in” or “they're too comfortable” miss the point—and how shifting the conversation back to student outcomes changed everything.Listen in to learn:What each of the five stages of implementation looks like in real math classroomsWhy most resistance towards math PD is rooted in fear, fatigue, or flawed systems—not mindsetHow to use department meetings and peer examples to build momentum in mathematicsWhy focusing on student growth—not compliance—creates authentic engagement in math classWhat math leaders can do to provide the right support at the right stageHit play to explore how real school teams are flipping the script on math improvement implementation—and how you can do the same by putting students, not strategies, at the center of your plan.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Still stuck “talking” about change, but not seeing it in action? The real roadblock to change in math may not be teacher resistance—it might be your system.Based on Jim Knight's powerful article in Educational Leadership, “Moving from Talk to Action in Professional Learning,” this episode reframes what looks like math pd resistance in schools. We walk through the five stages of implementation—Non-Use, Awareness, Mechanical, Routine, and Proficient—and reveal how most educators aren't resisting change… they're stuck in a system that makes it nearly impossible to act on it. If multiple people are resisting, it's not a people problem—it's a system problem.You'll learn:What each of the five implementation stages looks like in real practice in math pdWhy math educators appear resistant—and how fear, perfectionism, and lack of agency fuel hesitationHow student-focused goals create momentum where strategy mandates fall flatSimple, leader-driven shifts that support movement in math pd from awareness to actionWhat it takes to make professional learning stick, even after the workshop endsPress play to explore Jim Knight's findings and discover what it really takes to turn professional learning into professional practice.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, Dave is joined by change facilitator and organizational alignment expert Erica Wexler to explore how companies can eliminate unseen barriers that slow performance, reduce trust, and stall transformation.

She introduces her SHIFT framework (Social, Hybrid, Innovative Efficiencies, Feedback & Flexibility, Training & Time) and explains how systems thinking and applied neuroscience can be used to drive sustainable change.

In this solo episode of the Everyday Business Problems podcast, Dave Crysler tackles one of the most common leadership questions: "How fast can we make this change happen?" Drawing from real-world client stories and decades of operational experience, Dave breaks down why most change efforts stall, not because of strategy or tools, but because leaders underestimate the time, clarity, and consistency real change takes. What You'll Discover: Why change management timelines matter, and how to build them for real progress. The difference between focusing on actions versus dates when planning change. How to create milestones and measurable behaviors that show change is taking hold. The importance of clarity, consistency, and accountability from leadership.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Matt Ley about his new book Manage Your Gaps: Reclaiming the Awesomeness of Management. Matt challenges the myths and misunderstandings around management, explaining why clarity between contributors, managers, and leaders is key to organizational performance. You'll hear why he says managers are “multipliers” of value, how to recognize when you're being overled or overmanaged, and why he believes managers are not “junior leaders.” Matt introduces his EP!C Management model: Environment, Performance, Identity, and Communication. It's a tactical framework designed to help managers activate and optimize their teams. He also shares practical ideas for improving one-on-ones, measuring success, and even applying these same principles at home through the Four Cs: Care, Clarity, Consistency, and Communication. If you're looking for actionable insights to sharpen your management skills and strengthen your team's performance, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The thing is, managers are zero value add." "Contribution is all about working in the business. Management's all about working on the business and leadership's all about working on the future." "A manager is someone who's titled with making sure that they're multiplying the value of that organization." "A leader's job is to look up and out. So their job is to define the new, whereas a manager's accountability is to look down and in. So their job is to refine the now." "If you're not doing one-on-ones on a regular, consistent basis? That to me is the beating drum and the heartbeat of management." "It's really hard to feel successful in something if you don't have two things. One, you need a definition of what you're doing. And you need a measurement of how you're doing against it." "We reflect on the different roles that we play, that we call four hats: our professional hat, our personal hat, our partner hat, and our professional parent."

Alex Sloley: Coaching Teams Trapped Between Agile Aspirations and Organizational Control Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "The team says, oh, we want to try to do things this way, and the org keeps coming back and saying stuff like, no, no, no, you can't do that, because in this org, we don't allow that." - Alex Sloley Alex shares his current challenge working with a 10-person pilot Scrum team within a 1,500-person organization that has never done Agile before. While the team appears open-minded and eager to embrace agile ways of working, the organization continuously creates impediments by dictating how the team must estimate, break down work, and operate. Management tells them "the right way" to do everything, from estimation techniques to role-based work assignments, even implementing RACI matrices that restrict who can do what type of work. Half the team has been with the organization for six months or less, making it comfortable to simply defer to authority and follow organizational rules. Through coaching conversation, Alex explores whether the team might be falling into learned helplessness or simply finding comfort in being told what to do—both positions that avoid accountability. His experimental approach includes designing retrospective questions to help the team reflect on what they believe they're empowered to do versus what management dictates, and potentially using delegation cards to facilitate conversations about decision-making authority. Alex's key insight is recognizing that teams may step back from empowerment either out of fear or comfort, and identifying which dynamic is at play requires careful, small experiments that create safe spaces for honest dialogue. Self-reflection Question: When your team defers to organizational authority, are they operating from learned helplessness, comfort in avoiding accountability, or genuine respect for hierarchy? How can you design experiments to uncover the real dynamic at play? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan is joined by Christian Ulstrup, founder of Powerline, to explore how AI is transforming business practices. Christian, with over a decade of experience in applied AI, discusses the evolution of AI technologies and their real-world impact on industries ranging from startups to the U.S. federal government. He shares insights on moving from experimentation to impactful applications of AI, stressing the importance of cultivating a culture of continuous experimentation. Together, Avetis and Christian dive into how leaders can leverage AI for exponential growth, from AI quick wins to deep organizational transformations. The conversation touches on practical applications, such as automating back-office processes, improving customer interactions, and identifying hidden opportunities through AI-driven insights. Christian also discusses his firm's approach to using AI tools to generate value, drive profitability, and reduce costs while maintaining a human-centered focus. His unique perspective on the role of AI in shaping the future of work is both enlightening and inspiring, offering actionable advice for tech leaders eager to embrace the AI revolution.TakeawaysAI's role is not just about the technology itself but how and where it's applied in business processes.Business leaders must foster a culture of continuous experimentation to maximize the potential of AI.AI quick wins involve improving existing processes to work faster and more efficiently, sometimes 10 times faster.A "10x" approach, rather than incremental changes, can drive larger, more impactful transformations.Engaging with AI tools and experimenting with them helps uncover surprising efficiencies and new opportunities.Effective AI adoption starts with clear executive alignment and a formal mandate for experimentation across the organization.Some AI models like GPT and Claude are revolutionizing business processes that were previously time-consuming or costly.AI tools should be integrated into everyday workflows, from sales to HR, to gain real-time insights and efficiencies.Companies should prioritize AI experimentation, with an eye on both short-term wins and long-term cultural transformation.AI can help businesses of all sizes democratize access to powerful data insights, leveling the playing field for smaller companies.Chapters00:00 Introduction01:26 Christian Ulstrup's Background03:15 AI's Role in Business Transformation05:47 The AI Quick Win07:55 Thinking Big for AI Impact09:54 Three Phases of AI Adoption12:18 Tools for AI Adoption14:37 Identifying Power Users16:58 Formalizing AI Use Across the Organization19:15 Analyzing Data with AI Tools23:30 AI for Small Businesses27:48 AI and Profit Impact in PE-backed Firms31:46 Second-Order Effects of AI34:08 Risk Reduction and AI39:56 Opportunity Spotting with AI44:23 Change Management and AI49:42 Biggest Aha Moment in Christian's AI Journey54:03 The Future of Work with AIChristian Ulstrup's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianulstrup/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright
