What if the most powerful clinical tool in healthcare wasn't a drug, a device, or a data platform — but a word? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt have a conversation that starts with Disney World germs and ends with something that will change the way you lead your team tomorrow. They unpack the idea of Intentional Positive Reinforcement — not the hollow "great job" you throw over your shoulder in the hallway, but the kind of deliberate, meaningful recognition that creates a ripple effect all the way to the patient's bedside. Matt shares what a dental hygienist taught him about doing things right, why a pair of clicking heels in a nursing home hallway was actually a leadership strategy, and what happens to a healthcare team that only ever hears what they're doing wrong. This is a conversation for the bedside nurse and the C-suite executive. For the credentialing specialist who never sees a patient and the clinical coordinator who sees dozens. Because in healthcare, everyone plays a role in the patient experience — and the way we lead people determines the care those people deliver. If you've ever wondered whether your words are adding to your team or subtracting from them, this episode is your answer.
We had our first chance to talk with many of Penn State's transfers on Wednesday, and we learned plenty about Matt Campbell, his staff and the culture they're building at Penn State. Notably, many Penn State returners have highlighted key changes in the culture compared to the past few years under now-Virginia Tech coach James Franklin. Max Ralph and Bob Flounders take you inside that culture change. They'll also share further notes and takeaways from Wednesday's availability. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesse hosts the Learnings and Missteps podcast and introduces guest Maya McGlynn, a Pennsylvania-based construction influencer, writer, photographer, and fractional support partner who focuses on “the people behind the work.” Jesse gives an LnM Family shout-out to Bryce Ager for reviewing one of Jesse's construction trainings, and notes his business offers training, coaching, and consulting. Maya explains her passion for blue-collar stories comes from building relationships and bridging gaps between management and shop/field workers, emphasizing retention and the need for leaders to “give a shit,” not just attract more people into the industry. They discuss treating people well as foundational to solving construction's workforce challenges, rising interest in more human-centered workplaces, and how companies that only rely on pay raises and ignore relationships will be left behind.

Send us a MessageIn this episode of Culture Change RX, Sue Tetzlaff, cofounder of Capstone Leadership Solutions, discusses the prevalent belief in healthcare that working harder leads to better results. She challenges this notion, emphasizing that sustainable success comes from changing how work is done rather than increasing effort. Sue highlights the importance of understanding what needs to be done differently, fostering competency and consistency in new practices, and the role of systems in facilitating transformation. She also addresses the often need for external support in learning how to implement changes effectively and warns against starting from scratch or reinventing the wheel when seeking improvement.Key TakeawaysThe belief that working harder leads to better results is flawed.Sustainable success comes from changing how we work, not how much we work.Better engagement and outcomes require different leadership behaviors.Competency and consistency in new practices is essential for changes in results.External support can significantly aid in the success and speed of organizational transformation.Avoid starting from a blank slate; use proven systems as a foundation for the new way of working.If you are exploring ways to strengthen execution systems and leadership infrastructure, you can learn more about scheduling a complimentary systems discovery conversation here:CapstoneLeadership.net/Contact-UsWe're stepping forward in a bigger way—growing our team of rural healthcare experts, growing our capabilities by adding a strategic planning division … all of this so we can expand our ability to help even more rural hospitals and other small healthcare organizations in 2026. … We'd love to explore how we can support your organization in being the provider- and employer-of-choice so you can keep care local and margins strong!

Welcome back to Beneath the Transaction. This week we sit down with Alix Prassas — an organizational effectiveness leader with more than two decades of experience in People & Culture, global organizational development, DEI, and change management. But this conversation isn't about frameworks. It's about the moments that shape culture quietly and powerfully. Alix shares her journey from working in a family business to leading large-scale transformation efforts, and what she's learned about trust, vulnerability, and accountability along the way. Together, we explore: Why culture is formed beneath the surface How small leadership moments shape belonging Why vulnerability is a prerequisite for trust What accountability looks like when it's rooted in relationship Why conversations around diversity require courage and openness And what it means to “have the conversation anyway” This episode is honest. It's practical. And it reminds us that transformation isn't about bold declarations — it's about consistent courage. It takes a Tribe to practice transformation. Let's practice this together.

In this episode of The Health and Wellness Coach Journal Podcast, Dr. Jessica Singh is joined by Dr. Michael Baran, social scientist and CEO of Iris Inclusion. Through his speaking engagements, writings, consulting, leadership development, workshop facilitation, and digital products, he and his diverse team help organizations build cultures of inclusion, psychological safety, innovation, and performance. Before making the shift to full-time consulting work, he taught courses at Harvard University and the University of Michigan, and he worked as an applied researcher at the FrameWorks Institute and the American Institutes of Research. His book, Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions was coauthored with Dr. Tiffany Jana. The book has won several awards, has been a Hudson News and Amazon bestseller, and has been named by Forbes as one of “11 Books to Read to Be a More Inclusive Leader.” In this episode, Dr. Baran shares how his journey into inclusion work began with curiosity about inequity, exclusion, and belonging. This curiosity led him to doctoral research in cultural anthropology, extensive fieldwork in Brazil, and eventually to applied research, teaching, and consulting with organizations seeking meaningful culture change. A central focus of the episode is the concept of subtle acts of exclusion, a framework Dr. Baran co-developed with Dr. Jana as a more accessible and actionable alternative to the term microaggressions. He explains how subtle acts of exclusion often emerge from a disconnect between intent and impact—moments where someone may be trying to connect, help, or compliment, yet the interaction lands as hurtful, stressful, or exclusionary. Over time, these repeated experiences can have significant mental, physical, and organizational consequences. Dr. Baran shares why reframing the language has helped reduce defensiveness, increase buy-in, and create more productive conversations about culture and inclusion. The episode also explores how cultural insight becomes practical action. Dr. Baran describes how anthropological research methods—such as surveys, interviews, and focus groups—help organizations better understand what is actually happening within their systems and day-to-day practices. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions, this approach allows organizations to design culture change strategies that are responsive, effective, and grounded in lived experience. Drawing from his work in healthcare, Dr. Baran shares a case study from Tufts Medical Center, highlighting what large-scale culture change can look like in complex, high-pressure environments. He discusses the importance of leadership buy-in, thoughtful framing, and scalable strategies that respect the realities of frontline work. Dr. Baran also addresses the broader political and cultural uncertainty surrounding inclusion work today. He reflects on how polarizing language and shifting external pressures have affected organizations' willingness to engage in this work, and why focusing on clear values—such as inclusion, fairness, and belonging—remains essential. The episode closes with a message of empowerment for coaches and healthcare professionals. Dr. Baran emphasizes that culture is shaped not only by those in formal leadership roles, but through everyday interactions. Coaches, regardless of niche or title, play a vital role as culture shapers by helping individuals develop awareness, empathy, and the capacity to respond thoughtfully to subtle acts of exclusion.

Automotive supply chains are no longer being reshaped by crisis. They are being reshaped by clarity, and clarity is forcing hard choices.In this episode of the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast, Jan Griffiths and co-host Tom Roberts are joined by Paul Eichenberg, Chief Strategist and author of The Road Ahead: Five Key Predictions for the Global Automotive Industry in 2026, for a blunt, reality-check conversation about what lies ahead for suppliers.The industry has moved past the chaos of shortages and disruptions, but that does not mean conditions are improving. Flat volumes. Thin launch schedules. Policy volatility. Long-standing assumptions that once protected supplier business models no longer apply.Paul makes the case that 2026 is not about recovery. It is about reckoning. Growth will not lift all boats. Outgrowth will be selective. Capital allocation, portfolio focus, and strategic intent will determine who wins and who fades.This conversation challenges automotive leaders to confront the most dangerous assumption still in play: that the industry is operating under the same rules it always has. The leaders who succeed in 2026 will be decisive, intentional, and willing to make hard bets instead of spreading resources thin.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy flat volumes expose weak supplier strategiesThe end of “a rising tide lifts all boats” thinkingWhat outgrowth really means in a 0–1% marketCapital allocation as the ultimate strategy leverWhy the next decade is the hybrid decadePortfolio focus vs being all things to all customersWhy clarity, not comfort, defines 2026 leadershipFeatured GuestName: Paul EichenbergTitle: Chief Strategist, Automotive IndustryAbout: Paul is a seasoned automotive strategist and industry advisor with decades of experience supporting OEMs and suppliers through major market transitions.

In this episode of EMS One-Stop, Sophie Fuller — better known across social media as Paramedic Sophie — joins host Rob Lawrence for a candid, energizing conversation about what it really feels like to work in EMS right now: pride, the pressure, the burnout, and the culture issues that too many providers have been taught to silently absorb. Sophie is a critical care ground paramedic, flight paramedic, educator and president of the Tennessee Association of EMS Providers (TAEMSP), and she brings a provider-first lens to everything from leadership visibility, to mental health and pay equity. Together, Rob and Sophie dig into why Sophie started creating content in the first place (hint: burnout and the need to connect), how social media can be used as a force for good, and what “healthy” EMS culture should look like in practice. Sophie shares practical advice for crews and leaders alike: Be human Say the uncomfortable thing Stop normalizing harm Build systems that “care back” for the people doing the work Memorable quotes “We're just working in systems that haven't yet learned how to care back for the provider.” — Sophie Fuller “Management by walking about. Don't be stuck in the office. Don't say my door is always open because that relies on people coming in to see you. Get out and go and see them.” — Rob Lawrence “We love this job and that distracts us from the fact that it's also hurting us.” — Sophie Fuller “Just because it's normal doesn't mean it's healthy.” — Sophie Fuller “We confuse trauma with tradition.” — Sophie Fuller Additional resources: Follow Paramedic Sophie on: YouTube Tik Tok “The Next Shift : A mentorship workbook for EMTs and Paramedics” | E-Book, by Sophie Fuller “To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System” - PubMed Episode timeline 01:00 – Rob introduces Sophie Fuller (“Paramedic Sophie”) and frames the influencer vs. “effluencer” concept 02:14 – Sophie's origin story: graphic design → hospital tech → EMT → volunteer fire → paramedic → critical care → flight 06:16 – TAEMSP: why Tennessee needed a provider-level association and the shift toward legislative advocacy 08:05 – Why she started with social media: two full-time 911 jobs, low pay, burnout and the need for an outlet/connection 09:32 – Defining EMS burnout: the “jar on the shelf” and cumulative strain that becomes chronic fatigue 13:26 – Sophie's guidance to providers: vulnerability, telling the truth and not letting naysayers silence needed conversations 16:00 – Sophie's message to leadership: don't be the “Wizard of Oz” — show up, communicate and stay connected to crews 20:26 – EMS culture: self-sacrifice, silence, “earning your place through suffering,” and confusing trauma with tradition 23:10 – Sophie's book “The Next Shift”: a field guide to “learn, lead and last” in EMS 26:03 – Mistakes and “just culture”: reporting, mentoring, anonymous reporting systems, and learning vs. blame 32:08 – Closing challenge: stop normalizing harm; speak up for culture and patient care 33:14 – Where to find Sophie online and how large her platform has become Enjoying the show?

Send us a textIn this episode of The Frustrated CEO Podcast, hosts Patrick Lyons and Patsy Feeman sit down with Mohammad Anwar, CEO of Softway and co-founder of Culture+, for a candid conversation on leadership, company culture, and business transformation.Mohammad shares his powerful origin story, how rapid success left him “power drunk,” and how Softway's once-strong culture turned toxic—nearly driving the company into bankruptcy. He reveals the pivotal turning point that sparked Softway's turnaround: hearing a coach describe the company's comeback as being driven by love as a business strategy.In this episode, you'll learn what love in leadership really means (and why it's neither romantic nor soft), why behaviors—not values—define culture, how to build change-ready organizations, and why sustainable culture change requires leaders to own mistakes, apologize, and seek forgiveness, not just roll out new policies or processes.This conversation is a must-listen for CEOs, founders, and leaders navigating culture change, leadership burnout, and the real work of building resilient, human-centered organizations.

Send us a MessageIn this celebratory 100th episode of Culture Change RX, I reflect on the journey of the podcast since its inception in early 2024.

HR3 - Arthur Blank made it clear he thinks Falcons need fresh start & culture change In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and give their take on the Atlanta Falcons dismissing Head Coach Raheem Morris and General Manager Terry Fontenot from their roles following a meeting last night in Atlanta with Falcons Owner and Chairman, Arthur M. Blank in the Wake Up Call. Mike, Beau, and Ali also react to the news that Falcons Owner Arthur M. Blank announced that Greg Beadles has been elevated from president to president and CEO of the Atlanta Falcons, effective today, succeeding Rich McKay. Then, The Morning Shift crew spends some time with former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, and now analyst for the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network Dave Archer! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Dave discuss how many texts Dave got after the news broke about the Falcons firing Head Coach Raheem Morris and General Manager Terry Fontenot, the news that Falcons president Greg Beadles is now also going to take over as CEO of the Falcons and succeed Rich McKay, who will now focus on running the AMBSE Sports group. Mike, Beau, Ali, and Dave also discuss at what point in the season Dave thought a Head Coaching change and possibly a change at General Manager was imminent, how the new Falcons regime can carry the momentum built at the end of the season and take it into next season, how the Falcons next head coach can get the most out of the Falcons players that will be apart of the Falcons long term future, and Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot being good people who worked hard. The Morning Shift crew also gives their final thoughts on the Atlanta Falcons dismissing Head Coach Raheem Morris and General Manager Terry Fontenot from their roles following a meeting last night in Atlanta with Falcons Owner and Chairman, Arthur M. Blank, let listeners call in and give their final takes on the Falcons moving on from Raheem and Terry, and explain why they think the Falcons new regime won't tear the team down to the studs because they won't be given the time to do that.
In this first ever Leadership Bites conversation between Guy Bloom and Jamie MacPherson, two long time colleagues finally press record and get into what sits underneath the glossy talk of culture. They explore a blunt question: can the promise of a great culture ever meet expectations, or does it always fall short once real people, real pressure, and real leaders show up. They unpack the gap between the marketing story and the lived experience, the hidden corridor culture that never makes the posters, and the reality that most organisations do not have one culture at all but many, shaped by local leaders and daily interactions. Jamie frames culture as the aggregation of every interaction and offers three simple tests that cut through the noise: do interactions leave people clearer, more interested, and learning. Guy adds a hard edge to that with survival versus contribution, where people are either performing to stay safe or showing up with enough trust to offer half formed ideas, challenge, and honesty. They also tackle the uncomfortable truth of culture programmes: if you raise awareness and set a standard, you create a new lens people will judge the organisation by. If leadership cannot live it, the disappointment gets louder. Great culture is not Nirvana. It is averages, peaks and troughs, small behaviours done consistently, and the craft of leadership at senior level, where the work is granular, deliberate, and owned from the top. A candid, funny, reality based conversation about what culture really is, what it is for, and why the promise only becomes real when leaders have the courage to be specific, accountable, and human. 00:00 Introduction to Leadership Bites03:22 Exploring Culture and Performance06:25 The Promise of a Great Culture09:10 Defining Culture and Its Purpose12:27 Interactions Shape Culture15:15 Survival vs. Contribution in Culture18:26 Navigating Fear and Anxiety in the Workplace21:05 Setting Realistic Expectations for Culture24:36 The Pursuit of Realistic Standards25:54 Understanding Happiness in High-Performance Cultures29:46 The Difference Between Enjoyment and Satisfaction31:06 Reevaluating Expectations in Organizational Culture33:29 The Importance of Listening in Leadership36:39 Managing Expectations and Reality in Culture Change40:02 Crafting a Culture of Continuous Improvement43:03 Defining Specific Behavioral Expectations48:51 Embedding Change for Sustainable CultureTo find out more about Guy Bloom and his award winning work in Team Coaching, Leadership Development and Executive Coaching click below.The link to everything CLICK HEREUK: 07827 953814Email: guybloom@livingbrave.com Web: www.livingbrave.com
2025 didn't just challenge the automotive industry.It exposed it.Tariffs that shifted overnight. Another chip crisis. A sudden rethink on EVs. Then Ford dropped the bomb: nearly $20 billion in charges as it pivoted away from EVs, stranding capital across the supply chain. And on top of it all, AI is moving faster than most leaders can keep up with.In this solo episode, Jan Griffiths presses pause on the noise and calls it what it really was: feedback.Not chaos.A signal.2025 showed us exactly where legacy leadership breaks under pressure. Command-and-control slowed decision-making. Rigid processes collapsed under uncertainty. And waiting for perfect data became a competitive disadvantage.As we step into 2026, Jan lays out what leadership must become if this industry wants to survive, not just react. She challenges leaders to stop pretending they have all the answers and start learning out loud. To trade certainty for curiosity. Ego for humility. Silos for systems thinking.AI is not the threat. Speed is the reality. And culture is still the differentiator.This episode is a direct, honest conversation with leaders who feel the weight of what's coming and know the old playbook won't get them there. Jan breaks down the five leadership categories that will define success in 2026 and beyond, and why standing still is no longer an option.If 2025 cracked the foundation, 2026 is the year leaders decide whether to rebuild or repeat the same mistakes.This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Themes DiscussedWhy 2025 wasn't chaos, but critical feedback for automotive leadersThe leadership behaviors that failed under pressureLearning out loud instead of waiting for perfect answersIntellectual humility as a competitive advantageWhy speed now matters more than certaintyHow AI is forcing a shift away from rigid org chartsThe leadership mindset required to win in 2026About Your Host – Jan GriffithsJan Griffiths is the Champion for Culture Change in the automotive industry.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Kimara Ellefson, national director of Strategy and Partnerships for the Kern National Network for Flourishing in Medicine (KNN).
