From building bots to boost employee experience to reshaping how we think about roles in an automated world, Cass shares an honest look at how she's bringing people along on a transformation journey—with curiosity, experimentation, and heart.We discuss her pivotal decision to say yes to opportunities beyond her comfort zone, the strategic shifts she's leading inside a fast-scaling company, and why the future of HR is about enhancing humanity, not replacing it. If you're wondering what leadership looks like when AI meets empathy, this one's for you.Key TakeawaysUnlearning expertise-dependence: Cass shifted from relying on experts to co-creating solutions with AI tools before engaging others.AI as a force for elevation: At Progyny, AI is used to give employees time back, not take roles away—enabling deeper focus on human-centric work.Low-code leadership: Cass, a self-described non-technical leader, built HR bots and reimagined policies through practical AI applications.Scaling culture through consistency: AI chatbots improved response times, standardized answers, and gave insight into employee concerns.Embedding experimentation: Teams are encouraged to ask, "What should I stop doing?"—sparking a culture of reinvention and initiative.Additional InsightsProgyny's “Super Fans” initiative reframes AI gains as an opportunity to deepen customer and employee relationships.Training is done in cohorts to build shared understanding and reduce AI anxiety.Cross-functional collaboration with junior team members—like the intern who built the HR bot—shows how innovation can come from any level.Cass uses AI to simplify and globalize complex frameworks like competency models, improving alignment across teams and geographies.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Recap Cassandra Pratt shares how embracing discomfort led her to leap into healthcare, build a transformative HR function, and lead with AI—not to eliminate roles, but to elevate people and amplify their impact.02:37 – Guest Introduction: Cassandra Pratt Barry introduces Cass Pratt, Chief People Officer at Progyny, a fertility and family-building benefits company scaling rapidly with a human-first, tech-empowered culture.04:48 – Saying Yes to Growth Cass reflects on a missed opportunity that taught her the cost of saying no—and set her on a path to jump into unknowns with conviction.08:04 – Startup Lessons and Leadership Growth From 50 to 850 employees, Cass shares what it means to grow with a company and embrace mistakes as part of the journey.11:00 – Diving into AI Without a Tech Background Despite lacking technical skills, Cass threw herself into generative AI—learning by doing and discovering intuitive ways to drive value.13:10 – Unlearning the Expert Reflex Cass rethinks her default of turning to experts first—instead starting with AI to shape stronger ideas and bring others in as collaborators.15:13 – Redesigning Processes, Not Just Tools AI opened up opportunities to rethink workflows from scratch, not just automate existing inefficiencies.20:35 – Making AI Safe and Human Cass shares how transparent messaging, training, and cultural reinforcement helps ease AI anxieties and keep

IntroWhy does knowing your "why" feel like trying to bake a soufflé without a recipe? Because simply having that big ol' why isn't enough to get your life puffed up and soaring! Join me, Heather Masters, as we dive into the myth-busting world of self-development this week. We'll explore why your identity really needs to come first, or else your why is just a pretty motivational poster on your wall! I'll share my own lightbulb moments that made me realise my why was stuck in the past, while I was busy trying to drag it into my fabulous future. So grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let's uncover how to align who you are with what you want, because life's too short to be living someone else's script!Diving straight into the heart of the matter, we tackle the popular self-help mantra that insists knowing your 'why' is the golden ticket to fulfillment. But hold your horses, folks! We're here to bust that myth wide open! Picture this: you're armed with a shiny, inspirational ‘why' but—plot twist!—it's just sitting there like a motivational poster gathering dust if you don't believe in yourself to make it happen. It's like having a beautifully wrapped gift but no one to unwrap it! We explore how our identity is the real bedrock that gives our ‘why' the sturdy legs it needs to stand tall. If you don't trust that you're the person who can achieve your aspirations, you might as well be trying to put together IKEA furniture without the instructions—frustrating and likely to end in tears!The Details:I had a big wake-up call this week, you guys! I was totally vibing with this story about a woman shedding her old self like a snake sheds its skin. She realized she didn't want to be the savior or hold onto her past mistakes anymore. But then, uh-oh! She hit an identity crisis—who was she now? That moment resonated with me like a deep bass drop in a club. It made me realize I was also dragging around old ‘why's' from a version of me that doesn't even exist anymore. Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and if we don't adjust our identity, we're going to feel lost and stuck.So, we're laying out some myth-busting truths this week: First, knowing your ‘why' is not enough; identity comes first! Next up, your ‘why' should be believable—if it feels like a stretch, you're not going to chase it. And lastly, don't expect your ‘why' to magically motivate you; it's your identity that needs to fuel that fire. Let's flip the script and start acting like the version of ourselves that knows our ‘why' is achievable. This week's challenge is called ‘Identity Before Inspiration'—it's all about envisioning the version of you that owns their ‘why'. Trust me, once you start shifting your identity, the rest will fall into place. So let's get out there and keep choosing happy, one fabulous step at a time!Takeaways: Knowing your why is just the tip of the iceberg; it's all about believing in yourself! Your identity shapes your motivation, so focus on who you are becoming to live your why. If your why isn't believable, it's like a motivational screensaver—it might look pretty, but it's not real! Your why only activates when your identity says, 'Yes, that's me!'—embrace the messy journey! To truly thrive, we need to let go of outdated identities and step into our true selves. Tiny actions lead to big changes; even a 1% shift in identity can align your why with your reality!

Wolfie looks into the future of Forest star player Elliot Anderson and if he could leave on the cheap? Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for the latest Nottingham Forest transfer update, where the spotlight is on England international Elliot Anderson's long-term future at the City Ground! With Anderson in superb form for both club and country, delivering standout performances in the Premier League and on the international stage, rumours are swirling about interest from top clubs, including Manchester United. Wolfie breaks down the speculation, exploring why Anderson's rise has caught the eye of big teams and what this could mean for Forest's midfield stability amid a competitive season. Diving deeper, sports reporter Ben Jacobs has revealed that any potential deal for Anderson might come at a price far lower than the reported £100-120 million that Forest would ideally demand. According to Jacobs, provisions in Anderson's contract tied to European football qualifications—for both Nottingham Forest and any interested buyer—could significantly reduce the transfer fee, potentially making him available for well under £100 million come the summer window. Wolfie analyses these details, weighing the pros and cons for the Reds and debating whether holding onto the star is crucial for Nuno Espírito Santo's project. What do you think—should Forest fight to keep Anderson or cash in? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

Dreams are crazy, but aren’t they also guidance? Our guest, Sandi Madison, helps us find sense in the nonsense of our dreams and argues that the best self-help book we can ever read is our own dream journal! We talk about the importance of keeping and reviewing a dream journal, and Sandi shares some of her recurring themes that show how she has matured over the 38 years she has been journaling. Sandi suggests we try to remember dreams as we wake up by focusing on the feelings we have when we wake up. We also talk about precognitive dreams and the power of snippets. After the break, we talk to Carrie Voorhees who is one of the artists whose work is featured in Sandi’s book, “Diving Before Dawn.” BIO: Sandi Madison shares her intuitive and experiential approach to dream work. Her journey into self-discovery, told through her dream life, is the rich source of material from which was born her book, Diving Before Dawn: A Dream Exploration. Her ardent desire is to help others utilize dreams as inner guidance.

The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders
Episode 258: How did two new leaders turn angry customer calls into executive promises to earn customer trust and advocacy? Charlon McIntosh, Chief Customer Operations Officer, and Melissa Pint, Chief Digital Information Officer, both joined Frontier Communications on the same day in 2021. At the time, Frontier faced both bankruptcy and a reputation crisis: Millions of customer complaint calls were pouring in, with only one way to reach the company. Charlon and Melissa inherited a brand that customers didn't trust. To fix it, they built a system where complaints trigger commitments, leaders face weekly scrutiny, and new product and feature launches aren't approved until they are absolutely ready. "Our CEO, Nick Jeffery, outlined a very simple four-point strategy for us," says Charlon. "Build fiber, sell fiber, improve the customer experience, and improve our operational efficiency." In alignment with these goals, Frontier treated millions of monthly calls as a focus group, and started by redesigning its messy billing process. They used data on call reasons and complaint volumes to guide a weekly, two-hour "earning customer loyalty" meeting across departments. One Friday at a time, owners identified fixes, rather than providing chest-beating updates. Charlon and Melissa's collaborative relationship is an enviable example of cross-functional teamwork. They finish each other's sentences and share a single scorecard. "There is no IT strategy," Melissa says. "There is only the business strategy." "And customers tell us if it worked," adds Charlon. A digital-first agenda became the default. Customers now use chatbots for routine tasks, with a one-tap handoff to a person. Progress runs on shared operations and IT metrics, with the CEO actively observing from the customers' viewpoint, even using customer tools himself, to identify adjustments they could implement in real time. "We were able to shift adoption from nearly a hundred percent of our transactions being handled in a call center to today, where less than 20% of our interactions are assisted between chat and phone calls," Charlon says. "The point isn't deflection. It's a faster, better answer."

They're telling us what's confusing, what's broken, what we've done wrong, where they need help, and where they need additional support. We used the reasons customers were calling as our initial guide to say what's happening." [10:00] "As a care leader, I have the data. I can tell my partners across the organization where we are making poor decisions and where we have low quality. It's the ability to get them to listen to me. That's what makes the difference in my team's success and our ability to improve the customer experience." [15:00] "As a turnaround company, since we did need to turn around pretty quickly, we did not have the luxury of completely changing core legacy backend systems. … Our strategy was to create a layer on top of them that would bring systems together." [18:00] "A digital-first strategy means things are going to start being automated, and you put things in your customer's hands; you're giving more power to your users to have automated tasks. That drives different traffic in your backend systems—different traffic patterns—that backend systems need to accommodate."

Join us as we dive into two scenes featuring Olivia and Viola in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
Diving into the controversial world of Modafinil, the "all-nighter in a pill", Matt begins with the story of Olympic sprinters using the narcolepsy drug as a loophole for a competitive edge. He then unpacks the science of how Modafinil affects brain chemistry to boost wakefulness and cognition, tracing its evolution from a medical treatment to a performance enhancer for the military, Wall Street, and students, all attempting to push human limits by cheating sleep.Despite its potent effects, Modafinil carries significant risks and ethical dilemmas. Matt discusses its side effects, potential for psychological dependency, and the unknowns of long-term use. The episode examines complex questions of fairness and the potential for "cognitive inequality." Ultimately, Matt argues that while the drug masks fatigue, it cannot replace the vital restorative functions of natural sleep. The "sleep debt" must eventually be repaid, as true well-being depends on this biological necessity, not a pill.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of this week's sponsors, LMNT, offers a science-based electrolyte drink with no sugar or artificial ingredients.
