Podcasts about contented

In today's rapidly evolving workplace, the disconnect between people and their work has never been more apparent—or more urgent to address. That's why I was thrilled to welcome Brent Kedzierski, a renowned expert on the future of work and human-centric design, to the On the Brink podcast. Brent's mission is clear: to improve the human condition at work, one experience at a time. With more than 35 years of experience—including as Head of Learning Strategy and Innovation at Shell—he brings unique insight into why digital transformation fails, how people resist change, and what organizations can do to rebuild engagement and purpose. The Future Is Human—And Already Here As William Gibson reminds us, “The future is already here. It's just not widely distributed yet.” Brent feels the same way. People often assume technology is the answer to productivity and innovation—but without human adoption and emotional investment, it falls flat. In fact, 90% of digital transformation initiatives fail, not because the technology is flawed, but because people aren't prepared to embrace it. Why? Because humans are fallible, social, adaptable—and resistant to change without a clear purpose. It is that clear purpose that seems to be the hardest thing to get agreement on. Without focus, people wander all over, creating meaning when there is none. Understanding the Human Condition at Work Brent grew up in Pittsburgh, a city built on industry. Watching his family work in steel mills, he developed a fascination with why people work the way they do. That question still drives him. At Shell, he led global initiatives using simulations, virtual reality, and HR analytics to optimize human performance—but found again and again that vendors focused on tech, not people. In every successful transformation, Brent starts by understanding the human experience. As he puts it, people need: A reason to believe change is useful Tools that are easy to use Proof that change offers a relative advantage Compatibility with their current reality These four principles make up 80% of successful adoption. Engagement only happens when people see, feel, and believe that something will make their work—and their lives—better. And, trust me, if they don't “see it” they have no idea what you are talking about. What Is Human-Centric Work Design? Human-centricity isn't new. Since the 1950s, design theorists have argued for putting people at the center of systems. But Brent takes this further by introducing the Human Experience Model, which maps out the full work journey: Expectations – What workers anticipate about a task. Experience – What actually happens when they perform it. Adaptation – How they adjust in real time. Reflection – What they take away and how it shapes future behavior. When organizations ignore this model, they create what Brent calls “experience debt”—inefficiencies, stress, and disengagement that build up over time. As Brent said, “People only change when they see the value and feel a sense of urgency. Without that, even the best-designed systems fall apart.” Health, Wellness, and the Cost of Disconnected Work The toll of misaligned work isn't just emotional—it's physical and economic. Brent notes that 70% of all primary care visits today are stress-related. Poor workplace design contributes to chronic conditions, burnout, and even work-related suicide. He reminds us: “Contented cows give better milk”—in other words, healthy, supported humans produce better outcomes. Organizations that invest in worker wellness—clear communication, psychological safety, autonomy, and purpose—see higher engagement and productivity. And they reduce the enormous costs of turnover, illness, and missed opportunities. Watch the video of our podcast here. Lessons from the Field Brent shared powerful case studies, including one at Shell where digital procedures on iPads replaced outdated paper manuals. Initially resisted by veteran operators, the new system became a hit—not because it was faster, but because it gave workers a voice. Their field notes were finally visible to others, prompting action. In another project, avatars in a virtual training module used thoughtful communication techniques. The surprising feedback from Gen Z trainees? “I wish my supervisor talked to me like the avatar does.” What Comes Next? As we wrapped, Brent offered a teaser: the rise of AI and the flood of data pose a new challenge. By 2026, 90% of online content is expected to be AI-generated. Yet 80% of the data companies create today is never used again—a growing source of digital waste. To navigate this future, we must design systems that balance tech innovation with human needs. Brent calls this the move from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0—where technology elevates, not replaces, people. The Takeaway: See, Feel, Think—Then Change As a corporate anthropologist, I urge clients to change only after seeing what's going on and feeling how it impacts people. Brent's insights reinforce that truth: transformation isn't about adopting the newest tool. It's about designing work that empowers humans to thrive. Let's rethink what work really is. Not a place, not a task, but a shared human experience. Listen + Subscribe: Available wherever you get your podcasts—Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and more.

Host Jenny sits down with Mikki Collins, a former higher ed social media manager at the University of Chichester, who shares her transformative journey in leveraging social media as a key recruitment tool. From developing student influencer programs to driving engagement on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, Mikki provides actionable insights into creating authentic connections and making the most of limited resources. Listen in as they discuss how higher ed social media professionals can shift their mindset from communications to strategic marketing.Key TakeawaysStudent Influencers are Gold: Current students and graduates are often the most effective voices for reaching prospective students.Adapt to Platform Dynamics: TikTok has evolved from a discovery platform to a search engine—use it strategically at different stages of the recruitment funnel.Targeted Content Wins: Tailor content to different stages of the recruitment funnel, from generating awareness to nurturing conversions.Leverage Social Listening: Search university nicknames and hashtags to uncover organic student-created content and trends.Metrics with Intent: Align success metrics (e.g., reach, engagement) with the goals for each recruitment funnel stage.Sustainable Social Media Practices: To avoid burnout, delete work-related social media apps during breaks and maintain healthy work-life boundaries.How Mikki Got Started in Higher Ed Social Media Mikki Collins began her career in higher education through a unique route, starting as a Student Union officer and later transitioning to a digital content role. She quickly gravitated toward social media as a tool to engage students, working with limited resources to grow the University of Chichester's online presence. Mikki's small team transformed from social media novices into UK leaders in higher ed social media by experimenting with tactics that resonated with their target audiences.Using Students as Influencers Mikki was an early adopter of the "students as influencers" concept. Realizing that prospective students wanted to hear from their peers, she used Instagram's Q&A feature and hashtags to discover students who were already creating authentic, high-engagement content about the university. This strategy uncovered micro and macro influencers—like one student with 300,000 followers—who were eager to collaborate. By partnering with these students, Mikki's team amplified the university's reach and authenticity, fostering trust among prospective students.TikTok as a Recruitment Tool TikTok played a pivotal role in Mikki's strategy. Starting the university's account in 2019, her team grew it from an underutilized platform to the most-followed account within a year. By creating playful, tongue-in-cheek content, they broke through the noise and raised awareness of the university—even in its local community.Mikki shared how TikTok evolved from a discovery platform to a search engine. Early in the recruitment cycle, her team worked with student influencers who had large followings to generate awareness. As TikTok shifted to a search-first platform, they partnered with students who had smaller audiences to create content that addressed specific prospective student concerns, such as accommodations and campus life.Building a Social Media Funnel One of the episode's standout moments was Mikki's explanation of the recruitment funnel and how social media fits into it. She described creating content tailored to each stage:Awareness Stage: Share general information about the university, location, and events to attract prospective students. Success metrics here include reach and impressions.Conversion Stage: Focus on personalized content, such as Q&A sessions and campus tours, to address specific concerns and keep prospective students engaged. Metrics for this stage include comments, direct messages, and content shares.Mikki also emphasized the importance of social listening—using hashtags and search terms like university nicknames—to understand what content students are already creating and searching for. By consistently revisiting these insights each year, institutions can adapt their strategies to evolving student needs.Sustaining Work-Life Balance as a Social Media Manager Mikki ended the conversation with an important confession: she deleted LinkedIn from her phone over the holidays and hasn't reinstalled it since. As a social media professional, she understands the risks of burnout and advocates for intentional breaks from work-related platforms. Her advice: don't be afraid to temporarily delete social apps or establish boundaries to maintain a healthy balance.Guest Name: Mikki Collins, Content and Experience Designer, Pickle Jar CommunicationsGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: Mikki Collins is the Content and Experience Designer at Pickle Jar Communications and has a strong social media background in the Higher Education sector and proven award-winning experience for digital content campaigns and projects she has produced.She previously worked for the University of Chichester as their Digital Content Producer for 5.5 years.

Jenny welcomes Tony Sheridan, a social media storytelling expert currently working at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia. Tony shares his inspiring career journey from Ireland to Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the transformative power of authentic storytelling in social media. The conversation dives deep into strategies for lifting underrepresented voices and making a meaningful impact through thoughtful and inclusive content creation.Key TakeawaysAuthentic Storytelling Wins: Storytelling isn't just about information—it's about creating narratives that resonate emotionally and authentically.Diversity Drives Engagement: Inclusive content that authentically reflects diverse voices performs better and avoids common pitfalls.Leadership Without Authority: Even without formal power, you can lead initiatives by aligning with core values and presenting actionable strategies.Strategy Is Everything: Simple frameworks, like “strategy pillars,” can clarify goals and ensure content aligns with organizational values.Cultural Adaptation Matters: Recognizing and respecting cultural differences enhances storytelling impact without losing universal human connection.Episode SummaryHow Did Tony Sheridan Transition from Ireland to Saudi Arabia?Tony's journey began unexpectedly with a LinkedIn notification during the summer of 2020. With a decade and a half of experience at the University of Limerick, Tony had established himself as a pioneer in social media, leading award-winning campaigns on platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok. Encouraged by a supportive manager to "spread his wings," Tony took a leap of faith to join KAUST. His decision wasn't without hesitation, but the opportunity to expand his storytelling expertise on an international stage proved transformative.How Does Culture Influence Social Media Strategies at KAUST?KAUST, as a mixed-gender, international university in Saudi Arabia, presented unique opportunities and challenges. Tony noted that while Saudi culture and Islam influenced societal norms, the evolving openness of the country under Vision 2030 allowed for unprecedented storytelling opportunities. For example, highlighting female graduates and staff became a priority, reflecting KAUST's diverse and inclusive ethos. His approach emphasized leveraging these cultural shifts to showcase untold stories, ensuring that representation was at the forefront of every campaign.What Strategies Help Amplify Marginalized Voices?Tony adopted a systematic approach to ensure inclusivity in campaigns:Establish Strategy Pillars: By creating a clear list of campaign values—like diversity, inclusivity, and authenticity—he gained buy-in from leadership and ensured alignment across teams.Shift to Narrative Storytelling: Rather than simply stating facts, Tony focused on “intention and obstacle” as storytelling elements, drawing inspiration from screenwriting principles.Lead with Influence: Even without formal authority, Tony championed meaningful change by presenting well-structured plans and aligning them with organizational goals.Which Platforms Are Best for Representation?Tony believes the platform matters less than the authenticity of the story. At KAUST, alumni-focused campaigns like "Changemakers" and student-led initiatives thrived across platforms, including Instagram and LinkedIn. The key wasn't high production value but meaningful narratives that resonated with audiences. Tony encouraged using platforms strategically, tailoring content to each channel's strengths.What Advice Does Tony Have for Aspiring Social Media Storytellers?Start with Simplicity: Ask, “Is this good storytelling?” Strip away distractions and focus on the core narrative.Write It Down: Document your values and use them as a guide for decision-making.Tell Stories Internally: Use the power of storytelling to communicate and advocate within your organization, not just on social channels.Practice Leadership: Take initiative to push boundaries and advocate for change, even if you lack formal authority.Guest Name: Tony Sheridan, Marketing and communications manager for the King Abdullah University of Science and TechnologyGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: Tony Sheridan is the Marketing and Communications Manager at KAUST, one of the top-ranked research universities in the world, on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia.

Contented? Not likely. Vast majorities describe themselves as discontented, always seeking for what's missing. Entire industries are engineered for keeping us that way. Algorithms cleverly exploit our fears and passions to keep us always scrolling. News outlets need us anxious about the crises that might happen. And—we're told—we'll be unsettled and unhappy. Inflation will eat up our paychecks; rising tides will claim our coastlands; hackers will discover passwords. So purchase many layers of things to keep yourself protected. Yet God's good Word is always our corrective: “Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out” (1 Tim 6: 6-7). Grace quiets what has always been our great anxiety—that God will turn His back, will cast us off, will give us only what we have deserved. In Jesus, heaven calmed our deepest fear: “For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him” (John 3:17). Those who most inhabit grace are always most contented. Mercy shown them soon becomes the mercy they show others. Friendships flourish; families strengthen. Anxious thoughts are quieted by God's enduring promise. Make peace with grace, and you will surely stay in it. -Bill Knott

Yet God's good Word is always our corrective: “Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out” (1 Tim 6: 6-7). Grace quiets what has always been our great anxiety—that God will turn His back, will cast us off, will give us only what we have deserved. In Jesus, heaven calmed our deepest fear: “For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him” (John 3:17). Those who most inhabit grace are always most contented. Mercy shown them soon becomes the mercy they show others. Friendships flourish; families strengthen. Anxious thoughts are quieted by God's enduring promise. Make peace with grace, and you will surely stay in it. -Bill Knott

Soren reminds us of that Scripture verse that "Godliness with contentment is great gain." So it is first Grace, then Godliness, then Contentment.

Sunday, June 2, 2024 – Today's message is titled "Settling our Account in Heaven." This concludes our study on the letter of Philippians that Paul wrote to the church in Philippi. Throughout this 18-sermon series, we have explored the major theme of JOY and discovered that JOY is a result of a committed and faithful relationship with Jesus. No other relationship can offer joy like this. Today we are being encouraged to be content in all areas of life, regardless of the circumstances, and challenged to be committed in our giving of finances, time, and energy to God. Paul emphasizes that it’s not about how much one gives, but how it’s the spirit of how it’s given that ensures their accounts are credited as a result of their faithful giving. There is much to consider here, so I encourage you to worship and study along to hear the word of the Lord in all these areas.

When John D Rockefeller was asked how much money was enough, he famously replied, “Just a little bit more.” This quote is often used to illustrate our hard-to-shake view that money will solve all life's problems. But as today's guest is keen to point out, it probably won't. Because life's true riches don't have a £-sign in front of them. Today's guest is the multi award-winning financial writer and bestselling author Morgan Housel. Morgan is a partner at The Collaborative Fund and a former columnist at The Wall Street Journal. In his first book, The Psychology of Money, Morgan explains how doing well with finance is less about what you know and more about how you behave. This is an idea that I believe applies equally to health. That book became a global sensation and to date has sold over 4 million copies. And his second book, Same as Ever:Timeless Lessons on Risk, Opportunity and Living a Good Life has just come out. Morgan explains that in finance, as in health, we generally don't want to put in the hard work over the long term. We want shortcuts, secret hacks, silver bullets. Yet, he says, basic truths and principles remain the same as ever. We also talk about the relationship between money and happiness, the relationship between our finances and our health, the real meaning of wealth and the importance of having a sense of control. We discuss the problems with black and white thinking, the dangers of social comparison, the difference between success and happiness, and why we need to be careful about who we look up to. At its core, this is a conversation about what it really means to live a happy and contented life. There's a quote from Lao Tzu, that I really like: “He who knows he has enough is rich.” It's such simple yet profound advice. And it chimes with Morgan's ultimate message, that whatever your current financial situation, what's going to make you happy is probably not what you think. This is a thought provoking conversation that I'm pretty sure will have you thinking deeply about your life.Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

We're examining the ABCs of grace-full living and what it looks like to be a truly graceful person. As we have seen, A is abundant living, B is bitterless living, and today we look at C. C- Contented Grace-full living is contented living. The dictionary says that a contented person is one who is satisfied with what they are and what they have; they want nothing more or anything else. Does that describe you? I have to tell you there are far too many days it does not describe me. I see a new house being built, and I think how nice it would be to have it. I peruse those catalogs that flood my mailbox, and I can convince myself I can't live without something I saw in the catalog. And we can lose our contentment by wishing we were a different person, with a different life, in a different place, having different gifts and abilities. Ever go there? Living a discontented life will suck the grace of God right out of you. It will cause you to be restless, self-focused, resentful, envious. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you' (Hebrews 13:5). This is something we must become intentional about doing. We have to work at it, if you please. We have to pray it into our lives. It doesn't just happen. The enemy of your soul will trip you up with discontent if you give him the opportunity. He knows a discontented Christian is not going to dispense grace. He whispers those lies to you, convincing you your life cannot be complete or full or good unless you have something or someone that you don't now have. But we can learn contentment. The Apostle Paul wrote: I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want (Philippians 4:12). Contented living is freedom—and it is grace-full living.

Let the merry sounds of the Polar Express lift your spirits. Children chatter excitedly – they're on the way to meet Santa! Each turn of the train's wheels clattering along the track brings them closer to Saint Nick. Contented chaperones stir steaming cups of tea, amused by the children's cheerful anticipation. Outside, in the frozen darkness, lone wolves howl mournful greetings as the warm and jolly caravan moves toward the lights of its destination, glowing just over the horizon. Hop aboard for a magical journey to the North Pole! ---
