Podcasts about drive change

There's a commonly held belief that leadership courage is a trait that you either have or you don't. That only the most rarefied few have what it takes to rally people around them to press ahead and meet the uncertainty - or adversity - that stands before them. But what if courage is not a rare trait, but instead something every leader can exemplify in everyday moments? In this episode of "Leadership Biz Cafe," I speak with Alex Budak, award-winning UC Berkeley faculty member and author of "Becoming a Changemaker", about his Harvard Business Review article where he describes the six forms of everyday courage leaders can develop to successfully drive change and lead their organization through periods of adversity. And a quick note here that this will be the last episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe” for 2025 as I'm taking a break for the month of December. But I'll be back in January 2026 with more guests, more Leadership Espresso Shots, and more insights on how you can succeed and grow in your leadership role. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Elliott Higgins, director of Health and Well-Being for UCLA's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. Together they explore the development of the Well-Being Influencers Survey for Health Care (WISH)—a validated, non-proprietary tool that measures the organizational conditions shaping clinician well-being. Dr. Higgins discusses how WISH shifts the focus from individual burnout to systemic factors such as transparency, fairness, and psychological safety, offering leaders actionable insights to drive meaningful change. The conversation highlights how data-driven, collaborative research can reframe accountability, empower departments to tailor interventions, and move the national dialogue from burnout awareness toward system-level solutions that enhance both workforce and patient care.

The global IT services market is projected to grow significantly, reaching nearly $3 trillion by 2033, driven by the increasing adoption of cloud services, digital transformation, and a rising demand for automation and cybersecurity solutions. Proactive IT services currently dominate the market, accounting for over half of the share, particularly in heavily regulated sectors like banking, financial services, and healthcare. However, the growth of AI adoption is being hindered by spiraling legacy IT costs, which stall modernization efforts and create opportunities for IT service providers to assist organizations in bridging the gap between outdated systems and modern solutions.Investment in artificial intelligence is also on the rise, with global spending expected to reach nearly $1.5 trillion this year and surpass $2 trillion next year. The focus of this investment is broadening beyond traditional tech giants, with significant contributions from Chinese companies and new AI cloud providers. Despite concerns about job displacement due to AI, a recent survey indicates that most business leaders believe AI will enhance employee support rather than lead to significant job cuts. This highlights the importance of training and change management as organizations adapt to new technologies.Major players in the IT sector, such as Microsoft, Intuit, and OpenAI, are making significant advancements in their AI offerings. Microsoft has launched a centralized AI marketplace, integrating thousands of applications to simplify access for businesses. Intuit has improved its generative AI operating system for financial management, while OpenAI has introduced collaborative features for ChatGPT, enhancing team productivity. These developments underscore the competitive landscape as companies race to control the AI stack and provide valuable tools for enterprises.As organizations face the challenges of legacy IT systems and the need for modernization, IT service providers have a crucial role to play. They must help clients navigate the complexities of integrating new technologies while managing the human side of the transition. The emphasis on proactive services, employee training, and effective change management will be essential for businesses to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven environment. The future of IT services lies not just in technological advancements but in the ability to support clients through their transformation journeys.Three things to know today 00:00 Proactive IT Services Lead $1.5 Trillion Market, Banking and Healthcare Fuel Demand05:57 Legacy IT Costs Surging, Report Finds, Forcing Enterprises Toward Modernization07:45 From Marketplaces to Machine Learning: Tech Giants Position AI as Core Business Infrastructure This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you. To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "I was really intrigued when I first spoke to Seth Piper. He's someone who started his career in face-to-face fundraising in the UK, before moving over to Scandinavia, where his path took an unexpected turn. Seth went on to work with Greenpeace, playing a key role in establishing their face-to-face operations in Scandinavia.Now, he's brought that wealth of experience into the world of politics and grassroots activism — training campaigners and organisers on how to engage with people effectively. I found that crossover from face-to-face fundraising to political and grassroots work absolutely fascinating. It's not something I'd come across before, and I think it offers a lot of insights for anyone working in engagement, campaigning, or advocacy. So, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Seth Piper" You can learn more about our upcoming Fundraising Recruitment and Careers Conference happening on Thursday 20th November here If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to hit follow and enable notifications so you'll get notified to be first to hear of future podcast episodes.

Send us a textGrowth mindset? Oversold. It's not the magic bullet schools think it is. Telling teachers and students to “just believe in improvement” without addressing what's blocking them is like throwing seeds on dry, compacted soil and expecting a lush garden—without loosening the ground, adding nutrients, or ensuring there's water, those seeds don't stand a chance.Becca reveals five Catalyst Mindsets™ —Value, Ownership, Belonging, Success, and Growth—that actually move people from burnout to engagement and from passive compliance to real action.Value Mindset: If it doesn't matter to me, I'm not investing energy. Connect initiatives to personal goals, or watch engagement stay surface-level.Ownership Mindset: Stop waiting for someone else to fix it. Agency, accountability, and integrity drive real change.Belonging Mindset: If I don't feel like I belong, I'm not taking risks. Schools must create real psychological safety, not just “niceness.”Success Mindset: If I don't believe I can succeed, I won't even try. Coaching must reinforce small wins and self-efficacy to build real confidence.Growth Mindset: It's a continuum, not a checkbox. Where someone falls on that continuum matters more than whether they “have” a growth mindset.Coaches and Leaders: Your Challenge Identify Resistance—Which mindset is missing?Make Change Manageable—Break it down into small wins that build confidence.Stop Asking About Growth Mindset—Ask where someone is on the continuum and coach them through the messy middle.Growth mindset alone won't move the needle. Change happens when we address the right mindsets, in the right way, at the right time.Want more info?

Leaders who display confidence are better equipped to inspire others, make strategic decisions, and handle challenges with resilience. However, confidence doesn't just emerge overnight; it is built through intentional practices. 1. Self-awareness and Emotional Intelligence Self-awareness is key to understanding one's strengths and growth areas, directly impacting leadership confidence. Leaders who invest in emotional intelligence training can more easily navigate complex team dynamics, boosting their self-confidence. By developing a deeper understanding of one's emotions, one can regulate them and respond to situations with clarity and calm. 2. Continual Learning and Growth Leaders who actively seek to develop new skills and stay up to date with industry trends exude more confidence. By continuously challenging yourself through learning and development opportunities, you stay prepared for changing circumstances, reinforcing your leadership capabilities. 3. Mentorship and Feedback One of the best ways to grow as a leader is to seek mentorship and actively request feedback from peers and team members. By receiving constructive input and applying it, leaders can build confidence in their leadership style while improving performance. This two-way communication also helps build stronger relationships and mutual trust.   Building Authentic Leadership Trust While confidence is critical, building authentic leadership trust sustains long-term success. Trust makes teams follow your lead, invest in your vision, and commit to achieving collective goals. But trust cannot be forced; it must be earned. Consistency in Actions and Words To build trust, leaders must align their actions with their words. Consistency in decision-making, behavior, and communication ensures that team members know what to expect from you. This creates a sense of reliability, which is fundamental to establishing trust.   Transparency and Open Communication Honesty and transparency foster trust within teams. Leaders who are open about their goals, challenges, and expectations build stronger connections with their teams. This authentic communication shows that you value your employees' input and are committed to their growth and the organization's success.   Empathy and Active Listening Building authentic leadership trust requires empathy.
