Podcasts about digital leadership

On today's Super U Podcast, Equalman breaks down the NCAA's Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rules, which have allowed college athletes to profit from endorsements and other commercial uses of their identity, fundamentally changing the traditional amateurism model in college sports. NIL has made college athletes like free agents, able to negotiate deals and influence transfers, blurring amateur and professional lines. And inconsistent state rules have made it hard for the NCAA to ensure fair and equal competition.   Podcast highlights: Disruption of team cohesion, as teammates may have vastly different earning potentials. Increased recruiting battles based on financial incentives rather than athletic or academic fit. Smaller programs struggling to compete with larger schools that can facilitate more lucrative NIL opportunity   Is there a topic you want Equalman to cover on the podcast?

Digitale Zusammenarbeit ist längst Alltag, aber funktioniert sie auch wirklich gut? In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Jöran Moos-Meerholz, Gründer von Jöran & Konsorten und Autor von Digitale Zusammenarbeit 4.0 – Die Gebrauchsanleitung. Wir tauchen in die Frage ein, wie Zusammenarbeit in digitalen und hybriden Teams effizienter, klarer und weniger frustrierend wird. Wir sprechen über: * Präempathie – warum sie der Schlüssel zu produktiver digitaler Zusammenarbeit ist * Kooperation vs. Kollaboration – und warum dieser Unterschied so wichtig ist * Praktiken und Prinzipien, die Meetings, Dokumentenmanagement und Workflows erleichtern * Häufige Fehler bei der Nutzung digitaler Tools – und wie man sie vermeidet
 Außerdem geht es um eine Frage, die uns alle beschäftigt: Wie kann Zusammenarbeit so gestaltet werden, dass sie sich nicht nur effizient, sondern auch gut anfühlt? Wenn du selbst lernen möchtest, wie du Meetings und Workshops so moderierst, dass sie wirklich wirksam sind, dann schau dir das Professional Workshop Facilitator Training von Hello Agile an.

Related links:Digital Community CohortStudent Affairs Marketing and Communications surveyMarcomm Barbie Slack Group‍In this episode of Confessions of a Higher Ed Social Media Manager, Jenny Li Fowler chats with Josie Ahlquist, a trailblazer in the higher education community. Josie shares her inspiring journey into higher ed, shaped by her family's roots, her passion for student engagement, and her knack for empowering institutions to foster authentic online communities. The conversation dives deep into the dynamics between student affairs and central communications, exploring ways to bridge gaps, build relationships, and create meaningful student connections.Key TakeawaysRelationship-building is key: Building partnerships between central comms and student affairs starts with authentic, non-work-related connections.Empower "make-em-up marketers": Many student affairs staff juggle multiple roles; training and shared resources can significantly enhance their effectiveness.Understand student development: To communicate effectively, know where students are emotionally, socially, and developmentally.Ask students directly: Whether through feedback or collaboration, student voices are a powerful tool for shaping impactful communication strategies.Centralize resources without alienating teams: Hybrid models and shared resources can improve collaboration and strategy without overstepping boundaries.What inspired Josie's passion for higher education?Josie Ahlquist credits her family's legacy for inspiring her deep passion for education. Her grandparents, who valued education despite their working-class cowboy roots, instilled in her the idea that knowledge is invaluable. Her first steps on a college campus felt like home, sparking a career in higher education that has never wavered.What are the unique challenges student affairs faces in creating online communities?Student affairs teams often operate with limited resources and little formal training in marketing and communications. As Josie puts it, many are "make-em-up marketers," learning on the job and finding creative ways to manage their responsibilities. This DIY approach, while admirable, can lead to inefficiencies and misalignments with broader institutional branding.Additionally, Josie points out that social media has "grown up," making it more challenging for student affairs to stay strategic without dedicated support. From inconsistent messaging to a lack of positional structures, the divide between student affairs and central comms often hinders collaboration.How can central comms and student affairs work better together?Josie emphasizes the importance of relationship-building—starting with something as simple as coffee chats or happy hours to break down silos. Central comms teams should avoid diving in with audits or policies right away. Instead, build trust by getting to know the people behind the accounts and finding ways to support their work without micromanaging.She also suggests hybrid models that pool resources, ensuring that student affairs teams have access to central comms expertise while maintaining the unique connections they have with students.Why is understanding student development essential for effective communication?Josie highlights the importance of understanding student development theory—an often overlooked area in higher ed communications. Knowing where students are emotionally, socially, and developmentally can inform messaging strategies and ensure communications truly resonate.Student affairs teams, with their direct student contact, can be a treasure trove of insights. Josie suggests collaborating with these teams to collect feedback, co-create campaigns, and feature diverse student voices in marketing efforts.How can higher ed communicators better connect with students?Josie encourages institutions to consistently ask students for feedback, even if the answers are raw and unfiltered. She also stresses the importance of crafting messages that are valuable and relevant to students. It's not about the channel—it's about the content. If the messaging matters, students will engage, no matter where it's shared.‍What steps can central comms take to build bridges with student affairs?Map the structure: Identify who is responsible for communications across various student affairs offices.Start small: Begin with informal meetings or organic conversations before implementing larger initiatives.Create shared spaces: Platforms like Slack or Discord can foster collaboration without requiring rigid committees.Lead with empathy: Recognize that many in student affairs are juggling marketing as one of many responsibilities. Approach with support rather than critique.Partner for progress: Collaborate on building centralized resources and strategies while respecting the autonomy of student affairs teams.Josie's ConfessionAs someone who literally puts her face and name on her brand, Josie admits she has struggled with imposter syndrome and perfectionism in her journey. Hiring a team member to help her stay consistent with her content allowed her to overcome the internal battles that often held her back. Her mission today is to empower leaders and institutions to tell authentic stories, even when self-doubt gets in the way.Guest Name: Josie Ahlquist, Digital Engagement and Leadership Consultant, Keynote Speaker and Executive CoachGuest Social: XLinkedInFacebookInstagramBlueskyYouTubeThreadsGuest Bio: Josie Ahlquist empowers leaders, organizations, and students to embrace purposeful digital leadership through her dynamic speaking engagements, personalized coaching, and expert consulting services.

Ceri explores the world of digital art and creative leadership with Tom Higham, Creative Director and founder of Mediale. Tom shares his knowledge and experience, from film festivals to cutting-edge digital projects, and gives his thoughts on artist development, community engagement, and the challenges of running a creative organisation. Ceri and Tom also talk about personal health, leadership styles, and share their visions for the future of arts and technology. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tom's career highlights the importance of networking and seizing opportunities in the arts, from volunteering to leadership roles. Effective creative leadership involves balancing artistic vision with practical considerations like funding, stakeholder management, and team dynamics. Community engagement in arts projects requires a genuine interest in people's stories and a collaborative approach between artists and local groups. The digital art sector is very international, presenting both opportunities and challenges for UK based organisations and artists. Successful arts organisations need to adapt their leadership and project approaches based on the specific context and scale of each initiative. Tom stresses the importance of clear communication and boundary setting in leadership, while maintaining flexibility and empathy to be successful. Personal health management, including addressing invisible disabilities is essential in sustainable creative leadership. The arts sector should critically examine the impact and sustainability of large scale cultural events versus ongoing, community focused initiatives and what they can alternatively offer. BEST MOMENTS  "I always found I would tend to let the work expand to fill the time I give it." "Talking, communicating to different people outside of your inner sphere is quite a skill and there aren't that many people in the arts who do that well, I don't think." "You have to build the trust to be able to take that risk, I think that's really important, but also to build that trust, you have to tell a compelling story." "The hardest stuff about being an arts leader is probably, I'm imagining, similar to the hardest stuff about being a leader in the energy sector or in the retail sector. It's people." "I think you've clearly done so well over your career is actually that trust and that deep love that you have for the artists and their idea, but then finding the language and the synergy, those kinds of moments of alignment with somebody else." "Clarity is kindness, you know, and sometimes that means even if you're saying clearly, actually, no, that doesn't work for me, it actually helps people to understand and take action accordingly." "I would suggest to artists that you have to figure out what you want to pursue and figure out how to talk about it."
