Podcasts about cultural development

What does it really look like to lead with courage, advocate for yourself (and others), and embrace vulnerability as a strength? In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Mary Beth Plank-Mezo, who is the Vice President of Staff and Cultural Development at Full Sail University and has been with the university for an incredible 36 years. Her leadership has touched so many across the campus — and I know firsthand how impactful she's been. We recorded this conversation live in studio at Full Sail, and you'll hear how Mary Beth's leadership journey has evolved over the years, from being a quiet observer in meetings to becoming a powerful voice and advocate for change. She shares the pivotal moments that shaped her, including the time she walked into the founder's office and asked to switch departments (talk about bold self-advocacy!) and how she helped start the university's Staff and Cultural Development department. We talk about: Why asking for what you want is so important (even when it's scary) How to deal with “no” - and why it doesn't always mean “never” The value of listening first and co-creating a vision to build trust and buy-in What happens when leaders show vulnerability (and how it fosters innovation) Why women often hold themselves back and what we can do to push past that The three layers of advocacy: for yourself, by others, and for others Mary Beth also shares what continues to fuel her passion for mentoring and growing new leaders and how she sees her role now as ensuring the next generation is ready to take the reins. This is one of those episodes that will stay with you, especially if you've ever questioned whether your voice matters (spoiler: it does). Tune in and then ask yourself: What's one area where you can advocate for yourself right now? Who's in your corner, cheering you on and who can you advocate for?

His research starts from a simple premise - if our self-awareness, the ability to look at ourselves in the mirror and declare that there is an “I” staring back, is truly unique in the animal kingdom, then it likely related to that moment of coming. But no one really knows what happened in the fog of pre-history to ratchet us from the gauzy time before we were fully human to… whatever all of this that we're living in right now could be called. In fact, this is often referred to as the sapient paradox. Why, oh why, did we become genetically modern nearly 300,000 years ago (maybe more) but take until about 50,000 years ago to start doing human things like making art, ritually burying our dead, and tracking the stars? Many have suggested it was psychedelic mushrooms that pushed us over the edge. This is the stoned ape hypothesis, which says that a sufficiently large psychedelic experience pushed us out of the womb of the earth. However, Andrew thinks it might have been something else. He figures it was snakes. And women. Together, they produced the Snake Cult of Consciousness that dragged us, kicking and screaming, into the world.(00:00) Go!

The Venus Project was started in the 1980s by Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows with the aim of showing that it was possible to lead a more human centered existence… as long as you built outside of the capitalist market system. Over the decades, the fortunes of the project have fluctuated - from an initial burst of enthusiasm and action (Meadows and Fresco built almost all the structures on the property by hand themselves) to the grinding reality of what it means to grow a stable and vibrant community, to the immense surge of popularity just as Fresco's life came to an end. Project members Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dwindiddie come by the show with previous guest Simon Michaux to talk about the failures and successes of the project, and what it might look like when its reborn as the framework for Michaux's Prometheus Project.

Team Productivity and DynamicsTimestamps00:00 Transitioning from employee to freelancer04:37 Becoming the 10th Certified Notion Consultant in the United States09:01 Conducting thorough tech audits and optimizing processes11:14 The pitfalls of outsourcing content15:50 YouTube success and the challenges of expanding content niche20:12 Simplifying platform switching and customization22:58 Developing an innovative workflow to increase content production24:49 Business automation and virtual assistants28:17 Reflecting on project outcomes, consulting with a business therapist33:08 Using personality tests to improve productivitySuccessful Business Turnaround: "By the time I left, we had just everything automated and systemized, and we went from owing the city almost 100 grand a year because reporting was wrong to being one of the top-performing organizations in the city because of the work that I did." — Sara Loretta [00:02:45 → 00:03:01]The Myth of Indispensability in Business: "Everyone's replaceable, and it just is what it is when we are building businesses or building products. Yes, we are emotionally attached to that. But at the end of the day, if you want to take a sabbatical, if you up and decide one day, hey, I'm done, I don't want to work here anymore, the company's still going to move forward and we have to build businesses with that in mind. A lot of people just don't do that." — Sara Loretta [00:04:14 → 00:04:37]Pioneering Notion for Business: "I was kind of the first person to talk about having a design business and using Notion for it. That video popped off. Notion came to me a couple of months later, and I then became the 10th Certified Notion Consultant in the US." — Sara Loretta [00:04:49 → 00:05:01]Corporate Miscommunication and Culture Issues: "And this is where a lot of the culture comes in, is because you have this massive disconnect between the CEO and the low-level assistant coming in to support projects and there's no true line of succession, there's no communication plans." — Sara Loretta [00:08:12 → 00:08:32]Optimizing Business Processes with Technology: "We find where the overlaps are that an entire team can utilize a tool. Then we go into the culture piece. So what is the internal expectations of working with a remote async team versus what is the external expectations?" — Sara Loretta [00:09:21 → 00:09:37]Navigating Productivity Tools: "And so I actually started building out a little cheat sheet of each tool and what's possible on each. So that way I don't have to go into ChatGPT and be like, ‘How do I do this? How do I write this formula?' And I can just easily, when I'm on a sales call or a strategy call verbatim, just drop and say, this platform is going to work for you, or this one isn't." — Sara Loretta [00:20:37 → 00:20:58]Innovative Workflow Improvements: "And so we built this really cool workflow that auto triggers the next person in that flow when something's marked as complete." — Sara Loretta [00:22:58 → 00:23:05]Efficient Business Automation: "I don't touch onboarding. It's one click to send an email to a client after a sales call, and the entire thing is completely automated." — Sara Loretta [00:24:57 → 00:25:05]Client Reviews and Self-Reflection: "So after the end of every project, I sit down and I look at what skills did I learn? What red flags were there in the client? Did I charge what I said I was going to? What skills did I learn? What do I want to keep exploring?" — Sara Loretta [00:28:21 → 00:28:34]Team Management Insights: "She had her whole team take the Myers Briggs assessment, take, I think, the Enneagram and some personality quiz, and she plugged them into ChatGPT and said, ‘What role, what tasks fit these personalities best?' She said she just did little tiny tweaks. And her team is the best productive, smooth sailing environment that she's ever curated." — Sara Loretta [00:33:32 → 00:33:50]Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicSara Loretta - Founder of SYSTMS

The Hamilton Today Podcast with guest host Scott Radley: You heard today's poll question: what do you think the Ticats' chances are? Let's find out what the host of The 5th Quarter thinks we should consider when getting our hopes up or bracing for the worst. We heard today that some more Hallmark Christmas Specials wrapped up filming on James North, and this is not the first time our city has been the stage for the romance and magic of everyone's(?) favourite(?) Holiday TV candy. This weekend is the Hamilton Road2Hope marathon. We get all the details on this year's events, and what the runners are running for. If you live along Hamilton's planned LRT corridor, you may now need a special permit from Metrolinx to build a home addition, move a shed or dig out a pool. Another time change is coming this weekend. How much of an impact does it really have on us? Hamilton Day is this weekend and the lead-up events are already underway! Yesterday we learned of the plans for Hamilton's First Ontario Centre. But, as noted by Ward 8 Councillor J. P. Danko, there seems to be a “loud segment of the people who are eternally pessimistic” and “hardwired to actively reject success.” Is this the case for Hamilton? Guests: Rick Zamperin, host of Good Morning Hamilton as well as host of The 5th Quarter which follows every Tiger-Cats game on 900 CHML Kim Adrovez, Acting Manager for Creative Industries and Cultural Development in the Planning and Economic Development Division for the City of Hamilton Gord Pauls, Organizer of the Road2Hope marathon Bob Assadourian, Triple R Inc, and host of Just Ask Bob on Cable 14 Patricia Lakin-Thomas, Chronobiologist with York University Greg Dunnett, CEO of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce Ron Foxcroft, Canadian businessman, Fox40World, creator of the FOX40 whistle, author of 40 Ways of the Fox, CEO of Fluke Transport & former Honorary Colonel with the Argyll Regiment, Chairman of the Argyll Commemorative Fundraising Campaign Host – Scott Radley Content Producer – William Erskine Technical/Podcast Producer – Ben Straughan News Anchor – Jen McQueen Want to keep up with what happened in Hamilton Today?

You leave school and enter the ‘real world' of work. That's the process, that's the plan. But who's to say that they should be so distinct?

We explore what it takes to keep facilitation fresh, how to create a literal ‘heartbeat' in an organisation, and how the MG Taylor method influences his work.This conversation ended up being a much bigger inquiry into complex organisations, knowledge-sharing, and ideation and iteration. A wonderful way to spend an hour, I'm sure you'll agree!Find out about:Translating best practice from educational systems into complex organisationsHow to unlearn top-down leadership, even in places where it's never been challengedWhat the MG Taylor approach is, how Benedikt uses it in his work, and why it's so effectiveHow to embrace novelty and avoid getting caught in the ‘same old' processesWhat it takes to bring human-centred, participatory processes into any organisationUnderstanding organisational maturity, self-organisation, and problem-solvingWhy facilitation is a skill of bridge-buildingDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Connect to Benedikt:On LinkedIn.Support the show:Make a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.Support the showCheck out the podcast map to see the overview of all podcast episodes: https://workshops.work/podcast-map

Whether expressed in educational, religious, or political contexts my research interests are in understanding how and why particular ideas flower, change, get disrupted, are silenced, or become dogmas, and how these same ideas translate into social, political, and cultural realities.

Hosts Laura and Carletta are joined by special guest Bobby to discuss real world practical tips and techniques for how to navigate life's constant changes without losing it! Podcast Notes: In this episode, our guest Robert (Bobby) Cappuccio, VEBA's Director of Coaching, Cultural Development and Behavior Change, joins us to discuss the importance of being connected to your mindset and emotions in order to navigate through life. Mindset is the philosophy of how we move, eat, think, and feel which then creates mental models for us to use to navigate our behaviors. Learn more ways to help you become more connected with your mindset and emotions below: What do you value in life? One of the first steps in successfully beginning your health journey is developing your value statement. To develop your value statement, determine what has played a value in the outcome of some of your favorite moments. Bobby talks more about ways you can find clarity on what you value in his video "Reflecting on Values" which can be found on the VRC's YouTube channel here. All behavior changes are facilitated by emotions, so without being connected to our emotions, we are not good decision-makers. Bobby mentions Joseph Ledoux, a Neuroscientist from New York, who wrote "The Emotional Brain", a book about the structure and function of the brain. When you look at the structure of the brain, our emotions have a profound influence over the decisions we make. If you are interested in learning more about the connection between our emotions and our decision-making, check out Ledoux's book here. Bobby mentions the Self-Determination Theory, which explains how results that have any type of long-term adherence has to be driven by intrinsic motivation. There are 3 parts of intrinsic motivation called ARC: Autonomy, Relatedness, and Competence. The best results begin with small and intentional practices. If you are having trouble with getting started, check out this blog by the VRC, "Adjust to Attain", to learn new ways to attain your goals. Find more information about us at VEBAResourceCenter.com

Prescription before diagnosis is malpractice. A physician would not prescribe a path to wellness if they did not know the patient's current condition. It would be considered unethical, negligent, improper or simply put, malpractice. The same applies to leadership and cultural development. Surveys, assessments and shareholder input are only diagnostic tools used to determine current condition and to develop the correct plan for the leader or organization. So what happens when organizations utilize these tools (either internally or from an outside source) and then only get the results with no developmental plan afterwards? Or worse yet, ignore the results or fail all together to implement a plan to address the issues? Rich and Maikel will unpack this topic on the this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.https://executiveleadersactilec.com/ Thank you to all of our listeners in over 70 countries and 580 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support!
