Algorithms not only dictate our data feeds but also reinforce our echo chambers, and the stakes have never been higher – both for our individual perspectives and for society at large. How To Cure Your Algorithm dives headfirst into the pressing issue of digital manipulation. We'll expose how unchecked algorithms can distort reality and question the balance between free speech and censorship. More than a debate, it's a call to action: reclaim your digital narrative. In a series of dynamic sessions, you will receive an unprecedented opportunity to transform the way you interact with digital media, as you get the chance to triage and diagnose the issues in your algorithm before we lead you through some cultural therapies and digital medicinal interventions. We invite you to be at the forefront of this vital conversation – help shape the future of online discourse and empower individuals to take control of their own digital truth.

This event is part of Critical Conversations, a new series on the age of misinformation by Intelligence Squared and Sage & Jester, hosted by Sophia Smith Galer. Have you ever clashed with someone on social media or even a loved one? Conversations can easily escalate in a time where everyone is consuming different media with wildly different messaging. At Truth Hurts: From Conflict to Connection, we tackled the most divisive topics in our day-to-day lives and how we can all become better conversationalists. How can we productively engage with those who have opposing views? How can we de-escalate emotionally-charged conversations? And how can we engage others to create a more ethical, kind and sustainable world? We dove into clever strategies for critical thinking and taught you how to dodge sneaky traps; whether you're scrolling through your newsfeed or navigating tricky conflicts. We also explored techniques for managing emotions and sparking meaningful, empathy-driven conversations that actually get somewhere.

This event was part of Critical Conversations, a new series on the age of misinformation by Intelligence Squared and Sage & Jester, hosted by Sophia Smith Galer. Sometimes the best way to expose a lie is to laugh at it. Satire is a force to be reckoned with in any democracy and artists are essential in shedding light on the truth. Comedy has long been a way to bring difficult conversations to the fore, and to challenge narratives. At Tricks, Trolls and LOLs, find out how humour and creative expression can serve as a counterbalance to misinformation; how satire can dismantle it, why authoritarian regimes fear comedians, and how art can be a powerful antidote to propaganda. In May 2025, we were joined by host Sophia Smith Galer and comedian Rachel Parris at the Pleasance Theatre in London for the first event in our our Critical Conversations series, in partnership with Sage & Jester.

This dispatch of Critical Conversation in Transportation Planning kicks off our safety series and features Wes Marshall, PhD, PE, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Colorado Denver, and Trung Vo, AICP, PE, Denver Office Director, Senior Planner, and Owner at Toole Design. Our speakers highlight how many traffic engineering standards are based on flawed assumptions rather than science, specifically pointing to problems with level of service metrics, automatic traffic growth assumptions, and designing for peak hours rather than community needs. They emphasize the need for courage to tackle arterial roads where most fatalities occur, challenging the reactive approach of waiting for crashes to happen instead of proactively designing safer streets for all users.

Most parents dread “the talk,” but raising confident, informed teens is less about one big conversation and more about a series of open, shame-free discussions.   Dr. Lisa Klein, pediatrician and co-founder of Turning Teen, joins Leslie Randolph to break down what kids really need when it comes to talking about puberty. Is there a right time to start? How do you make it less awkward? What happens if you feel totally unprepared? Dr. Klein shares practical ways to approach these conversations early and often, making sure tweens get accurate, age-appropriate information without fear or shame.   Dr. Klein and Leslie dig into the emotional side of growing up, from body image to social media influences. With so much misinformation online, how can parents become the go-to resource instead? Dr. Klein offers real-world advice to help parents navigate these tricky years with honesty, confidence, and a little humor.   Quotes “The talk, I want everyone to remember, is never just one talk. So don't feel stressed that it has to be the talk. I think that that is a little bit like the old school way of thinking. And unfortunately, it's still how it's kind of presented in school.” (06:16 | Dr. Lisa Klein)  “Shame-free, you know, it's a big word, a big message I like to share. Shame-free, science-based, open and honest.” (11:16 | Dr. Lisa Klein)  “Be the person your tween or teen turns to. Be their resource, because if you're not, the internet will be.” (23:24 | Dr. Lisa Klein) “Communicate, be vulnerable, admit your mistakes, admit your flaws, admit what you're working on. Say, ‘I don't know the answer. I love your question. Let's talk about it more. Let's find someone to help us both.' Communicate because if you don't have that communication and openness, why in the world would they use you as their resource?” (37:47 | Dr. Lisa Klein)   Connect with Dr. Lisa Klein: Learn More About Turning Teen Instagram Facebook   Connect With Leslie: Help Your Teen Cultivate Confidence Website Instagram Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

What is the goal of the conversation - to win the argument or engage with the person?   Biggest suggestion - learn to ask more questions instead of presenting more information   Matt 10 - be as wise as serpents and innocent as doves   1 Chronicles 12:32 - “understand the times” like the men of Issachar   Psalm 119:130 - The unfolding of your words give light; it imparts understanding to the simple.   2 Cor. 10:5-6 - tear down arguments set up against the knowledge of God…taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ…   Colossians 2:8 - See to it that no one takes you captive by vain philosophies and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ…   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

Critical conversations are an inevitable part of our lives, both personally and professionally. And while they're often necessary, they can make us want to run and hide in fear of things going truly pear shaped.    However, as leaders, it's our responsibility to have those difficult conversations when required - not only for the betterment of the individual, but the organisation as a whole.    It's from my own challenging experiences that I've come to realise that while we can't control how others will react, we are in control of our own actions and the way in which we lead.   Today, I'm going to share with you my top tips for navigating critical conversations and creating the positive outcomes we aim to achieve from them.   Get Prepared Giving someone feedback or constructive criticism can be challenging - especially if the person you're dealing with gets emotional or defensive. In this scenario, things can go off track quickly if you're not adequately prepared. I encourage you to write down what you're wanting to say in order to stay on point and bring the conversation back to where it needs to be. Equip yourself with the tools to have a productive conversation, and you'll give yourself the best chance of navigating it with confidence.    Choose the Right Time and Place I am a big believer of public praise and private criticism. Pulling someone up in a public setting is risky, and not entirely respectful to them. Rather, have the conversation privately - perhaps taking them out of the workplace and onto even ground.    Additionally, be aware of when you're asking to have the interaction. There's nothing worse than grabbing someone at 5pm for a discussion when you're both a little worn out. Ideally, schedule a time and place that suits you both.    Actively Listen Often, when we're in a critical conversation, we're so focused on getting our point across that we forget to truly listen to the other person. Active listening involves not just hearing the words but also understanding the emotions and intentions behind them. This means asking open-ended questions, reflecting back what you've heard, and validating the other person's feelings. By doing so, you demonstrate respect for their perspective, which can help de-escalate tension and foster mutual understanding.   Be Clear and Concise Being direct yet respectful is key when you're leading a critical conversation. Provide specific examples of what you are talking about, whether it's around performance or behaviour, ensuring they're relevant to the outcomes you want to achieve. I also recommend using "I" statements instead of "you" statements, focusing on how the actions affect you and others, rather than blaming the other person for their bad behaviour.    Watch Your Language It's important to avoid using accusatory language when having a critical conversation. Rather than defaulting to “you did this” or “you did that”, try reframing things to be about what you've “observed”. Asking open-ended questions can completely change the dynamic, enabling the other person to think about their response, rather than react defensively.    Remember, it's natural for emotions to run high during a confronting interaction, but staying calm, respectful and in control can help keep the dialogue productive.    Navigating critical conversations doesn't have to be daunting, and I hope this episode provides you with the tools and confidence you need to approach your next one with more ease.   Order My New Book “You Always Have A Choice” here  Connect with Julie: LinkedIn:    https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-hyde/ Instagram: @juliehydeleads Website:     https://juliehyde.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join your host, Monique, to find out why 1:1s with your direct reports are so important. Many managers don't have these meetings at all or, if they do, they are ineffective because of: poor content, the manager leads the meeting, the manager creates the agenda, no career conversations happening, too lengthy, too short, inconsistent cadence, or drive-by 1:1s. If you are experiencing any of this then your 1:1s need a makeover! Hear how Monique coached her client, a people manager, to restructure the 1:1s with her direct reports and turn them into exciting, motivating, and empowering meetings owned by her people. These meetings can be effective, efficient, and show employees how much you support them. Follow this process and your directs will walk way from their 1:1s feeling like they've got a manger who really cares!

On this week's episode of The Leadership Habit podcast, Jenn DeWall talks to organizational psychologist Joshua Washington about how to have mission-critical conversations. These are the key conversations we have– or don't have– every day. What conversations should you be having on your team to keep everyone focused on the mission of your organization?  Meet […] The post Having Mission-Critical Conversations with Joshua Washington appeared first on Crestcom International.

Have you ever said this to yourself? "I know I should talk to her about that, but I really don't want to.” "I know the team is suffering, but I don't want to hurt his feelings by bringing up such a potentially sensitive topic.” "I'm not very good at having those kinds of difficult conversations." Or how about this? “Wow, that went better than I thought; I should have done that a long time ago.” “What a relief! It's like weight has been lifted from all of our shoulders.” We hear all of these kinds of statements way too often. So this episode is intended to inspire and help you to have those critical conversations now, to be effective in having them, and to feel positive and confident in doing so.

Information has been weaponized, and the ability to create false information to achieve an ideological goal has never been more easy. Political polarization, science denial, and a shining, effective conduit of dissemination (the internet) allows anyone with an agenda to recruit the like minded, and produce compelling media to reinforce bankrupt ideas. Where did information warfare originate, what are its effects, and how do we fix it?  This week's podcast discusses the book, On Disinformation: How to Fight for Truth and Protect Democracy with author Dr. Lee McIntyre. The book presents a chilling description of who creates disinformation, how subscribes to it, and its long term effect on free society. Fortunately, solutions are proposed that can help curb the penetration of disinformation, particularly as it becomes more effective through artificial intelligence.
