In this episode, Angela Howard, a former executive leader turned equity-centered organizational culture strategist, shares her journey from wanting to be a paleontologist to becoming a change agent in the workplace.    She discusses the impact of COVID-19 on work dynamics, the generational shifts in corporate culture, and the importance of social responsibility in organizations.    Angela emphasizes the need for boundaries between work and life, particularly for Gen Z, who are redefining workplace expectations and demanding accountability from employers.   Angela and Nick go on to discuss the evolving landscape of corporate responsibility, trust in organizations, and the need for cultural change within workplaces.    They explore how traditional advertising is failing, the burden of healthcare on corporations, and the political and economic divides affecting society.    The dialogue emphasizes the importance of empowering leadership and the necessity for organizations to genuinely engage with their employees rather than merely paying lip service to their needs.    Angela and Nick Thompson also explore the evolving landscape of leadership, workplace culture, and the importance of psychological safety and dignity in the workplace.    They discuss generational perspectives on work, the impact of economic anxiety, and the need for a human-centric approach in both work and entertainment. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of empowering others and creating environments where individuals feel safe and valued.    Angela also shares her experience from conducting the most recent Culture Impact Lab as a new model for addressing workplace culture issues through collaboration and creativity.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Angela Howard and Her Journey 03:02 The Transition from Corporate to Entrepreneurship 06:04 COVID-19: A Catalyst for Change 08:59 The Impact of COVID-19 on Workplace Dynamics 12:02 Generational Shifts in Work Culture 15:02 The Role of Social Issues in Corporate Culture 18:00 Boundaries Between Work and Life 20:48 Gen Z's Approach to Work and Social Responsibility 24:03 The Influence of Social Media on Brand Trust 26:27 The Shift in Advertising and Trust 28:13 The Evolving Role of Organizations in Society 30:08 The Burden of Healthcare on Corporations 32:44 The Political and Economic Divide 34:16 Accountability in Leadership 38:06 The Need for Cultural Change in Organizations 39:49 Lip Service vs. Real Change in Corporate Culture 47:09 Empowering Leadership for a Better Workplace 48:17 Empowering Leadership and Team Dynamics 49:15 The Importance of Psychological Safety 50:48 Dignity in the Workplace 51:53 Generational Perspectives on Work Culture 52:51 Economic Anxiety and Its Impact 55:12 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in Work 56:46 The Future of Work Culture 58:02 Culture Impact Lab: A New Approach to Conferences 01:01:01 Empowering Others in Leadership 01:04:00 Human-Centric Entertainment and Storytelling Find Angela Howard here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelarhowardcfc/ |  https://www.instagram.com/callforculture/  Website: https://callforculture.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/call-for-culture/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelarhowardconsulting/  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-responsibility-at-work/   Find Nick Thompson here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/ |  https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/    UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/  Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/

Something for nothingDo rewards and incentives damage our humanity?In much of our personal and professional lives, we receive rewards for good behaviour and carrying out our responsibilities. But, evidence now suggests there are risks to this approach. Studies show rewards can damage wellbeing, fostering dependence and undermining our own sense of control. And neuroscientists have shown those more prone to seeking reward have a 70% higher risk of addiction, with addictive behaviour now present in almost half of the U.S. population. So, should we move away from rewards-based systems, and instead learn to value doing the right thing simply for the sake of, well, doing the right thing?Paul Bloom is a Canadian-American psychologist, bestselling author, and celebrated speaker. Bloom has written widely on human nature, and he won the Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize for his investigations into how children develop a sense of morality.Dan Ariely is a Professor of Psychology and Behavioural Economics at Duke University and best-selling author. Ariely is a scholar of irrationality and decision-making, explaining how we repeatedly and predictably make the wrong decisions in many aspects of our lives.Nancy Sherman is a Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University who has conducted research in general ethics, moral psychology, and the history of philosophy with focus on the Stoic tradition.

Imagine a ten-year-old girl in New Zealand watching an army commercial and declaring, "That's what I want to be". This simple declaration set Dr. Ellen Joan Ford on a transformative journey, a journey of leadership, service, and a new way of thinking about work. Her story is not just inspiring, it's a call to action for all of us. Women are asking for flexible work for working parents. Our businesses want the talented women to be able to focus on both their families and their workday. It is a time for changing how businesses treat women. In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Ellen Joan Ford—a leadership expert, military veteran, and the creator of the global #WorkSchoolHours movement. Ellen joins us from New Zealand with a deeply timely and universally relevant message: the structure of work must evolve to meet the real needs of modern families. From the New Zealand Army to Leadership Thought Leader  Ellen's story begins with a decade of service in the New Zealand Army, where she worked as an engineer officer and led soldiers at home and abroad. Her military career taught her discipline, courage, and—most importantly—how to lead. As she transitioned out of the military, she pursued an MBA and later a PhD in leadership, driven not by ambition but by a personal challenge. Her doctoral research focused on the leadership experiences of women in the military, surfacing both empowering stories and persistent gender-based inequities. Rather than stop with research, Ellen took action, advising the Chief of the New Zealand Army and presenting her findings to senior leadership. Her goal? To make the Army more inclusive—not just for women, but for everyone. The Birth of #WorkSchoolHours You will enjoy watching Ellen's podcast on YouTube here: What began as academic research soon became a mission when Ellen was bombarded with personal stories from working parents. Over 500 parents shared their frustrations: being forced out of the workforce due to caregiving, missing irreplaceable moments in their children's lives, or being underpaid for the same responsibilities simply because they worked "part-time." One night, while breastfeeding her youngest son, Ellen had a powerful realization: "I don't want this for me or anyone else." This was the birth of the #WorkSchoolHours movement, a movement that is not just a response to a problem, but a call to action for immediate change. What Is the #WorkSchoolHours Movement? #WorkSchoolHours is not about working less—it's about working smarter. It's a flexible work philosophy that allows employees, especially parents, to align their work schedules with family commitments without compromising performance or pay. Ellen explains, "We live in a world where we're expected to parent like we don't have a job and work like we don't have children. That's not sustainable." Through her model of Belonging, Autonomy, and Purpose (BAP), Ellen offers a new way to lead and manage teams. Inspired by both anthropology and leadership science, BAP emphasizes: Belonging: Creating a work culture that acknowledges employees as whole people. Autonomy: Giving individuals the flexibility to manage their time and deliver results. Purpose: Helping people connect their work to something meaningful. Ellen argues that when leaders focus on these elements, they can reduce burnout, increase productivity, and retain top talent—especially working mothers and caregivers. This not only benefits the employees but also the businesses, as it leads to a more engaged workforce and better business outcomes. Her Book: A Practical Guide to Revolutionizing Work In her new book, #WorkSchoolHours: A Revolution for Parents, Workplaces, and the World, Ellen doesn't just talk about change, she provides a practical roadmap for it. With three powerful sections—what's Wrong, what's Possible, and How to Fix It—this book is more than a manifesto. It's a toolkit for those ready to revolutionize their workplaces. The book includes real-world examples from industries ranging from logistics to healthcare to manufacturing and provides actionable strategies for leaders who want to focus on outcomes rather than hours. Even more exciting? Ellen is giving away her e-book for free on her website, ellenjoanford.com, using the code today. This is just one small way she's walking the talk about accessible change. Why This Matters Now In the U.S., over 50% of the workforce is women, and over 40% of children are born to single mothers. Yet, most workplaces still operate on models developed over a century ago. As artificial intelligence and other technologies transform our professional landscape, isn't it time to rethink the outdated 9-to-5? Dr. Ford's call to action is both compassionate and commercially wise. As she says, "Happy people deliver better results." Her message is clear: when we redesign work around the realities of human life, everyone wins—parents, companies, and communities. Listen, Learn, and Lead Differently If you're a business leader, HR professional, or just someone juggling the demands of work and home, this episode will leave you inspired—and equipped—to take action. As a corporate anthropologist, I believe change happens through small wins. Ellen Ford shows us how powerful those wins can be when rooted in purpose.

From his roots in ethical hacking to building games like “Fishing Expedition” and “SecOps Chaos,” AJ shares how he's gamifying the most dreaded parts of corporate training—and why that's the future of workplace education.Key Takeaways: Gamifying corporate training turns passive learners into active participants. Boring topics (like InfoSec) come to life when wrapped in story and play. You don't need to be a full-stack developer to build great games—just curiosity and courage. Player feedback = gold.

Isn't that a bit risky?"Zh: “我觉得这是个机会。”易菲回答,“把传统和创新结合,不仅尊重文化,还能展示我们的独特视角。”En: "I think it's an opportunity," Yifei replies, "Combining tradition and innovation shows respect for culture and can also showcase our unique perspective."Zh: 美玲尊重传统一直是众所周知的,但她同样欣赏新颖的构思。En: It's well-known that Meiling respects tradition, but she also appreciates novel concepts.Zh: 易菲决定,他要迎接这个挑战。En: Yifei decides to embrace this challenge.Zh: 时间像时钟的秒针一样流逝,会议室里,人们准备演示时,电脑响着嗡嗡声。En: Time passes like the ticking of a clock's second hand, and as people prepare for the presentation in the conference room, the computer hums.Zh: 报告开始时,所有的目光集中在易菲身上。En: As the report begins, all eyes focus on Yifei.Zh: 幻灯片一页页切换着,一切都顺利进行。En: The slides switch one by one, and everything proceeds smoothly.Zh: 突然,关键的一页幻灯片冻结了。En: Suddenly, a crucial slide freezes.Zh: 全场一片寂静。En: The room falls silent.Zh: 易菲心里一紧,但他知道,他不能退缩。En: Yifei's heart tightens, but he knows he can't back down.Zh: “各位,”他深吸一口气,开始口述原定的幻灯片内容,“我选择清明节是因为它提醒我们缅怀过去,而创新的目的是为了未来。” 他的声音清晰而充满信心。En: "Ladies and gentlemen," he takes a deep breath and begins to orally present the intended slide content, "I chose the Qingming Festival because it reminds us to commemorate the past, while innovation is aimed at the future." His voice is clear and filled with confidence.Zh: 美玲微微点头,现场气氛重新活跃。En: Meiling nods slightly, and the atmosphere in the room becomes lively again.Zh: 演示结束时,掌声响起,美玲特别称赞了易菲,“很高兴看到你如此精彩地结合了传统和创新。”En: When the presentation concludes, applause breaks out, and Meiling especially praises Yifei, "I'm delighted to see you integrate tradition and innovation so brilliantly."Zh: 易菲微笑着,他意识到在这个过程中,他不仅赢得了尊重,也学会了在传统框架内追求创新。En: Yifei smiles, realizing that through this process, he has not only earned respect but also learned to pursue innovation within a traditional framework.Zh: 春天的空气中弥漫着成功的气息,易菲知道,这只是他职业生涯中的一个开始。En: The air in spring is filled with the scent of success, and Yifei knows this is only the beginning of his career.

What if the secret to extraordinary sales success wasn't pressure—but purpose? Lisa McLeod believes the best salespeople aren't chasing quotas. They're chasing impact. Lisa is a bestselling author of "Selling with Noble Purpose", keynote speaker, and creator of the Noble Purpose business philosophy. Her work has reached over 2 million people on LinkedIn Learning and been featured in Harvard Business Review. In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, we dive deep into the heart of what drives real, sustainable sales success—and how organizations can embrace the purpose to outperform the market by 350%. We talk about the surprising results of Lisa's research into top-performing sales teams. Spoiler alert: the best sellers aren't ruthless closers—they're purpose-driven professionals who genuinely care about making a difference. Lisa shares how she fused two sides of her life—sales and soul—to build a thriving thought leadership business that helps global brands like Hilton and ThyssenKrupp transform their culture from the inside out. Lisa also opens up about the business side of thought leadership. She discusses the challenges of scaling ideas across massive organizations and why turning insight into action requires more than just great content—it requires packaging, structure, and a path for others to teach it. If you're a thought leader wrestling with how to turn your big ideas into business results—or if you're trying to bring more meaning into your work—this conversation is for you. Three Key Takeaways: • Purpose-driven sales outperform — Salespeople who focus on improving customers' lives consistently outperform their peers, proving that noble purpose is a strategic advantage, not just a feel-good concept. • Sales has an image problem — The profession is too often defined by its worst examples, but true sales success comes from empathy, trust, and a desire to serve—especially in B2B environments. • Thought leaders must sell their ideas — To create impact, you must connect your insights to the client's pain points and speak their language; selling isn't about being pushy, it's about being relevant and solving real problems. If today's conversation on purpose-driven sales sparked something for you, you won't want to miss our episode with Mike Latch and Gregg Murphy, Scaling Sales, Not Sacrificing Quality – The AI-Driven Secret to Billion-Dollar Growth. While Lisa McLeod explores the human side of sales—leading with empathy and purpose—Mike and Gregg dive into how organizations can scale that impact without losing what makes it effective. Together, these episodes paint a powerful picture of what modern sales success looks like: purpose at the core, with systems that support it at scale. Listen next and discover how to align purpose with process to drive real, lasting growth.

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we are featuring one of the most impactful moments from episode 51, with guest Regina Jackson. As a woman of color, it is not your responsibility to educate others about racism, but how do you navigate racist issues in corporate culture? That's what we're discussing in this episode.Regina was born in Chicago in 1950 and remembers the violence perpetrated on innocent people, like the horrific treatment of civil rights workers throughout the south, by white people. These memories drive Regina to push for real change in America and are why she founded Race2Dinner with Saira Roa in 2019. Race2Dinner is an organisation that facilitates honest conversation about race with white women to ensure that their allyship is more than performative.  This episode is just a short snippet that highlights the best and most powerful learning moment from a past episode. You can listen to the full episode (filled with more wisdom) here: Episode 51: Start your anti-racism journey with Regina Jackson from Race2Dinner.Key Discussion Points:00:56 The Importance of Self-Reliance: No one is coming to save you. You need to focus on yourself and navigate your environment with your goals in mind.02:34 The Burden of Educating Others About Racism in a Corporate Space: It is not your burden to educate people about racism. If possible, hire a consultant to come into your corporate space to educate people on this topic.04:14 The Value of Lived Experience: It is very difficult to convince someone that something exists if they have not experienced it for themselves.07:54 Defining Your Identity:  If you can answer the questions who are you, what do you want, and why do you want it, you have reduced the possibility of someone else defining your identity.09:21 Operating Out of Your Values: When you operate out of your values, there is never a question about what you are going to do.In Summary: Regina Jackson urges us not to take on the burden of educating others about racism in the workplace and rather prioritize strategic advancement over unnecessary emotional labor.

Bill Yeargin also serves as chairman of the National Marine Manufacturers Association with 1,300 member companies producing an estimated 85 percent of the boats, engines, trailers and accessories used by boaters and anglers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

"I am a CEO, not an economist, and I confess to having a strong affinity for capitalism. I believe if you want to help people, you should start a philanthropic organization. If you want to help a LOT of people, start a business. Capitalism is the undeniable wealth creator, but right now it is on life support." Bill Yeargin, Losing Capitalism, CEO World Magazine "We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and, ultimately, human fulfillment are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefiting from their success – only then can societies remain alive, dynamic, prosperous, progressive and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire post-war period, contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development. The societies that have achieved the most spectacular, broad-based progress are neither the most tightly controlled, nor the biggest in size, nor the wealthiest in natural resources. No, what unites them all is their willingness to believe in the magic of the marketplace."
