Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.Luke 12:2Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,1 Peter 3:14-15HYPOCRISY - “Isn't Christianity just full of hypocrites?”HYPOCRISY IN THE CHURCH AND IT'S EFFECT“How many people are radically and permanently repelled from The Way by Christians who are unfeeling, stiff, unapproachable, boringly lifeless, obsessive, and dissatisfied?

The pharisees, while attempting to honor the Word of God and manifesting extreme form of religious observance, were actually the farthest from God.WalvoordConverting the Church - Church of the City NYThen Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,[a] and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues 7 and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi[b] by others. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.[c] 9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.Matthew 23:1-12HYPOCRISY FROM THE PLATFORM26 “Today I am giving you a choice. You may choose the blessing or the curse. 27 You will get the blessing if you listen and obey the commands of the Lord your God that I have told you today. 28 But you will get the curse if you refuse to listen and obey the commands of the Lord your God. So don't stop living the way I command you today, and don't follow other gods that you don't know.Deuteronomy 11:26-284 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,[a] and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others.Matthew 23:4-5Majoring over minors28 Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters.[f] It was early morning.

Lena unpacks how understanding our instinctive conflict responses can turn tension into connection. Drawing on her experience in high-stress environments, she shares how organisations can transform culture by decoding these ‘fight languages.' This episode delves into how somatic intelligence, leadership presence, and emotional fluency are crucial in today's polarised environments.   SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/conflict-resolution-fight-languages    Power Games: https://www.zoerouth.com/power-games Zoë's Substack: https://substack.com/@zoerouth Planet Human: Edelman Trust Barometer reveals collapsing trust in key institutions, with growing class divides and despair. https://www.edelman.com/trust-barometer   Key Quotes: "Conflict is information—it tells us what matters most to people." – Lena Morgan "Assume self-interest, not good intent. That's how we keep eyes wide open and hearts open." – Zoë Routh "We all stay in the fight too long. The real skill is knowing when to pause and pivot." – Lena Morgan   Questions Asked: What are the five fight languages and how do they show up in teams? How can leaders manage their own conflict response before addressing others'? Why is somatic intelligence essential in high-stakes conversations? How can we better support extinguishers, amplifiers, and analyzers in a workplace?   Take Action: Notice your personal conflict pattern. Are you an igniter, amplifier, negotiator, analyzer, or extinguisher? Use Lena's techniques to pause and pivot—whether it's through movement, silence, or strategic escape. Open dialogue with your team about how they experience tension. Use the fight language framework to foster mutual understanding.   Tip of the Week Create a “fight language map” with your team.

On this episode, we explore the threat landscape in crypto and fintech — and how companies can go beyond maintaining customer trust to turn confidence into a competitive advantage. With the advent of fintech and crypto platforms, financial services have become more accessible, efficient and transparent for customers. However, the combination of social engineering tactics, deep fakes and AI tools has led to an increase in fraud, scams and other threats.In a world where trust in institutions is declining — the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer found Americans' institutional trust fell from 52% to 47% over the past decade — crypto and fintech brands must be diligent in earning and maintaining customer trust. Success takes careful consideration and a comprehensive trust and safety strategy. Listen for the compelling perspectives of Amanda Wick, author, former U.S. federal prosecutor specializing in financial crime, founder and CEO of the Association for Women in Cryptocurrency and principal at Incite Consulting, as she shares practical strategies for protecting your customers in an increasingly complex digital financial ecosystem.Amanda's book, The Catalysts: The Accelerating Forces Forging the New World Financial Order, is available for pre-order wherever books are sold.Visit our website to learn more about TELUS Digital.

Today's senior executives operate in an environment where trust has never been more critical, or more fragile. According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer, trust in business leaders is at an all-time low, with people's fear that business leaders are dishonest increasing by 12% in the last year. So, as a leader, how can you cultivate trust within your team and organization? In this episode of Leadership Lounge, we talk to three of our trusted advisors—Henryk Krajewski, Emmy Melville, and Ilana Abramowicz—who share their perspectives on: How trust is evolving in today's fast-paced business environment The specific behaviors that distinguish highly trusted executives Practical strategies for building and rebuilding trust within teams How to accurately assess trust levels rather than relying on gut feeling “Don't take somebody else's credit. If you make a mistake, you own it. You don't bury somebody else.”Ilana Abramowicz, Leadership Advisor, Russell Reynolds Associates Four things you'll learn from this episode:Trust is built on consistency. You need to demonstrate that you can follow through on your promises and commitments, no matter how small. Trust isn't something that's nice-to-have in an organization. It needs to be intentionally built at a foundational level. Transparent communication is vital for trust—sharing relevant information openly, explaining decisions clearly, and being forthright about challenges creates a culture where trust can flourish. Trusted leaders give credit, own mistakes (even if minimal), and maintain confidentiality. In this episode, we will cover: The four fundamental components that make up trust in the leadership context Why trust should be a foundational priority rather than an afterthought Why trust is critical for accelerating decision-making and enabling productive conflict The ‘1% rule' for initiating trust repair when relationships have fractured The connection between trust and concrete business outcomes How differing trust languages can create unintended barriers within teams Why timing is critical in addressing trust breaches before they become permanent A closer look at the research from this episode: Edelman Trust Barometer How CEOs Can Build and Maintain a High-Performing C-suite | Russell Reynolds Associates The New CEO | Russell Reynolds Associates

El sector de la comunicación y la reputación se enfrenta a un reto creciente: comprender cómo evoluciona la confianza en nuestras instituciones. En este episodio de EEV, nos acompañan Lucía Carballeda (Head of Reputation) y Pelayo Alonso (Head of Brand) de Edelman España, para hablar sobre el 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer, el informe global de referencia que lleva 25 años midiendo la confianza en gobiernos, empresas, medios y ONGs. Lucía y Pelayo analizan con Silvia Albert, fundadora y CEO de comma, las principales conclusiones de esta edición, marcada por el lema “De la polarización al descontento social: restaurando la erosión de la confianza”. Exploramos cómo ha cambiado la percepción de las instituciones, el papel emergente de las empresas como agentes de cambio, y cómo fenómenos como la polarización, la desinformación y la pérdida de fe en la movilidad social están moldeando nuestro entorno. Una conversación fundamental para entender por qué la confianza ya no es un valor añadido, sino una auténtica licencia para operar, y qué papel jugamos los profesionales de la comunicación a la hora de restaurarla.

Welcome to an end-of-week update from Unmade.In today's audio-led post we share the panel discussion from the launch of the Edelman Trust Barometer.

Our annual paying members are entitled to a free ticket. It's just one of the benefits of a paying membership. Upgrade today.‘Is it fragmented? Absolutely. Is it going to improve? I can't see it.'In today's podcast we share the panel discussion that accompanied the launch of the Edelman Trust Barometer.In a key statistic, of the four key Australian public institutions surveyed, public trust in media is the worst, with just 37% now saying they trusted the media. That was behind government (47%), business (54%) and non-governmental organisations (56%).The podcast features the event's introduction from Tom Robinson, CEO of Edelman Australia, ahead of the panel led by Unmade's Tim Burrowes.The discussion featured:* Terry Flew, Professor of Digital Communication and Culture, The University of Sydney and Co-Director, Centre for AI, Trust and Governance;* Kim Portrate, previously CEO of industry body Think TV;* Gen Z strategist Milly Bannister, founder and CEO of the ALLKND charity focusing on mental health for young Australians;* Jared Mondschein, Director of Research at the United States Studies Centre. The questions tackled included the challenges to societal cohesion as trust in institutions fades, geopolitical headwinds, and why the next generation is losing trust so badly.Portrate, who departed Think TV at the end of the year amidst obvious divisions between her TV network stakeholders, told the room: “Is it fragmented? Absolutely. Is it going to improve? I can't see it. Not in the current environment and not when you've got the competitive pressure and don't abide by any of the legislation that protects the population at large.”Read more on the barometer:A good day for the little guys of the Unmade IndexThree of the smaller stocks on the Unmade Index enjoyed sources in their price yesterday, although none of them released new updates to the market.Out of home advertising company Motio saw its share price jump by 18.5%, taking it up to a market capitalisation of $8m.

Phil Kirschner, Founder of PK Consulting, is an innovator at the intersection of employee experience, corporate real estate, organizational effectiveness, and technology strategy. Drawing on his background at Credit Suisse, WeWork, and McKinsey, Phil shares insights about professional and personal responses to workplace changes. He discusses leaders' and employees' intuitions and the frictions affecting trust. Phil explains the cultural impact of co-working environments and how a hospitality mindset helps achieve strategic human-centric productized work experiences to meet employees' modern work needs.   TAKEAWAYS   [01:57] Phil shares his experiences in corporate real estate, workplace strategy, and employee experience. [02:45] Cost management taught Phil the importance of understanding workplace dynamics. [04:20] Phil loves the dimensions of workplace change recognizing people's emotional responses. [05:41] How work-life integration can mean the physical manifestation of a policy in the work world. [06:38] Place is personal, affecting choices, relationships and how people communicate. [07:44] How office changes impact managers' perceived control over their teams. [08:45] Executives visiting WeWork's offices were often surprised by the energy and vibrancy. [10:12] Employees embracing the WeWork hospitality, community culture, and work patterns typically had better experiences than those who resisted. [14:00] How smaller companies smaller office investments allows them to be more responsive than large organizations which often struggle with underutilized space. [15:15] COVID revealed more humanity at work—executives were seen differently and trusted. [16:22] The Edelman Trust Barometer shows the first ever dip in trust in corporate leadership. [16:50] Employees' and executives' different intuition about what was ‘better before' and for whom. [18:22] Discrepancies in pre-COVID experiences change expectations for new work environments. [19:22] Phil shares how a real estate company failed to extend workplace flexibility to frontline staff. [22:00] A critical missing question: what needs to be true to allow greater flexibility and not have core metrics dip? [24:40] Remote work enables business continuity and offer an operational risk mitigation framework. [25:00] Digital-first companies have better organizational health by adapting for being distributed. [25:45] Experiencing inefficient processes to develop metrics and optimize operations. [29:02] HR, IT, and Facilities Management need to collaborate to enable modern workplaces. [29:54] Work experience needs productization and someone in charge. [31:07] Real estate reporting to HR help shift the focus from cost control to employee experience. [32:35] Hospitality oriented experiences are typically revenue lines not expense related. [34:31] Companies with “virtual-first, but not placeless” mindset rethink workplace strategy effectively. [35:53] Many executives assume office presence is essential without analyzing why. [39:10] Organizational health and connecting business objectives and work experience. [40:30] How corporate cultures can connect and align employees with purpose enabling change. [43:06] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: The first questions to ask at the start of any good change program: who thinks something is wrong? What do they think is wrong? And who else knows?     RESOURCES   Phil Kirschner on LinkedIn Phil Kirschner, Contributor – Leadership Strategy, Forbes     QUOTES "Many employees are feeling gaslit when they hear leaders say, ‘It was better before,' because that doesn't resonate with them." "Trust in organizations dipped for the first time in Edelman's latest trust barometer report." “When I walk into the building, if the experience of getting in or registering a visitor or attending event is, is not a great one, at that point, I do not know or care whose problem it is. I want one place to go easily and I want a hospitality feeling in the response to that, which is really difficult for groups that are viewed as an expense.” “The companies that say place isn't the thing, then tend to come back around with much more interesting and studied uses and new designs of place, whether that's somebody's house, whether that's a coworking space, whether that's an “office” that they retain for gathering purposes, right? These are the same companies that tend to staff up on workplace experience. They staff up on customer success for tools, they staff up for gathering.”

Abbie and Adrian talk about the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer report, which reveals rising global grievances and declining trust in institutions. They explore how businesses, governments, and NGOs can rebuild trust amidst economic and social challenges. The discussion centers on the role of transparent communication, responsible leadership, how generational differences affect perceptions of trust and "hostile activism," as well as what people say institutions should do to improve societal trust. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways The Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a global decline in trust across institutions, with grievances rising significantly. Business leaders are being called upon to spearhead trust restoration efforts, but this must be a collaborative endeavor involving governments, NGOs, and the media. Generational differences exist in perceptions of activism, with younger populations more inclined to view hostile activism as a necessary response to grievances. There is a pressing need for transparent and honest communication by institutions to combat misinformation and rebuild public trust. Consumers of news must also engage responsibly by seeking diverse perspectives and developing informed opinions.

Épisode 1258 : Le personal branding des dirigeants, ce n'est plus une option. C'est un levier stratégique. Aujourd'hui, un CEO doit être visible, incarné, inspirant. Pourquoi ? Parce que les consommateurs ne suivent plus seulement des marques, ils suivent des visages, des histoires, des convictions.—Un CEO incarné, c'est une entreprise qui inspire confianceLes consommateurs ont changé. La défiance envers les grandes entreprises n'a jamais été aussi forte. Selon une étude Edelman Trust Barometer 2024, 63 % des consommateurs font davantage confiance à une entreprise dont le dirigeant prend la parole publiquement.—Exemple : Alexandre Bompard, le patron de Carrefour.Depuis quelques mois il développe une prise de parole décomplexée et très humaine sur Instagram. (11k abonnés) —LinkedIn, le terrain de jeu des CEOLinkedIn, c'est devenu LA plateforme des patrons. Un espace où l'on ne parle pas que de business, mais aussi de convictions. Certains y ont construit une audience massive et deviennent de véritables leaders d'opinion.Exemple : Emmanuel Faber, ex-CEO de Danone, qui a incarné un capitalisme responsable. Son engagement pour une économie plus durable a propulsé l'image de Danone. Sur Linkedin Emmanuel Faber c'est une communauté de 317k abonnés. On peut quasiment parler de marque à part entière. Quand il a été évincé, l'entreprise a subi une véritable crise d'image.—Personal branding et marque employeur : un combo gagnantUn CEO qui communique bien, c'est aussi un atout pour recruter et fidéliser les talents. Pourquoi ? Parce que ça donne du sens. Un patron qui partage ses valeurs, qui raconte son parcours, ça motive. Les employés se sentent plus proches, plus engagés.Exemple : Loïc Soubeyrand, fondateur et CEO de Swile, utilise efficacement le personal branding pour promouvoir les valeurs de son entreprise. Ca se passe sur Linkedin où il rassemble presque 40k abonnés. Ces angles sont simples : Esprit d'équipe, Equilibre vie pro/vie perso, l'innovatioon et rester soi-même.—Les CEO influenceurs, un levier businessAu-delà du branding, il y a aussi un vrai enjeu business. Un CEO qui prend la parole, c'est un dirigeant qui génère de la visibilité et, potentiellement, des opportunités.Personal branding = parler de soi ?C'est la grande peur des CEO en général quand il s'agit de personal branding. Parler de son histoire personnelle ? Raconter sa vie… Jamais de la vie !Si on regarde Loic Soubeyrand, ou Alexandre Bompard. Aucun n'a eu besoin d'étaler sa vie privée pour imposer son image. Pourtant, ils ont réussi à incarner leur marque et à fédérer. Leur secret ? Prendre la parole avec leur propre style et une vraie valeur ajoutée.Alors, d'où vient cette idée qu'il faut se mettre à nu pour engager des clients ?

That Solo Life, Episode 273: Being a PR Pro in the Age of Mistrust In this Episode   In this episode of That Solo Life, co-hosts  Karen Swim, APR and Michelle Kane discuss the pressing issues of declining trust in institutions and how it impacts the practice and perception of the public relations industry.    The co-hosts discuss how the lack of trust has allowed for the proliferation of false narratives, making the PR professional's job more difficult and vital than ever. They emphasize the importance of PR professionals in protecting brand reputation, serving as strategic counselors, and being the crafters of the story that companies present to their audiences. The speakers call for the PR industry to do a better job of elevating the value and expertise of PR professionals, who possess crucial institutional knowledge and the ability to navigate the complex trust landscape.   Karen and Michelle kick off the episode with a look at the alarming decline in trust across various institutions, as highlighted by the Edelman Trust Barometer. Karen points out that this erosion of trust has led to a fragmented reality where individuals cling to beliefs that align with their perceptions, often disregarding factual information. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the rise of misinformation, which has become rampant in our digital age. The discussion explores how the internet, while a powerful tool for communication, has also created a level playing field for the spread of both truth and falsehoods.   PR professionals recognize the critical importance of their role in combating misinformation and maintaining brand trust. The work of PR pros goes beyond simply securing media placements; they are the storytellers who shape how organizations present themselves to the world. However, the hosts acknowledge the challenges faced in educating clients and the public about the true value of public relations.   Throughout the episode, Karen and Michielle  highlight the necessity of having skilled communicators who can navigate crises and manage brand reputation. We stress that the decisions made today will have long-lasting effects, and without a strong PR strategy, organizations risk losing the trust of their audiences, including their own employees.   Karen and Michelle  reflect on the unique expertise that comes from years of experience in the field. They advocate for the need to elevate the perception of the PR profession and ensure that our voices are heard. Listeners are encouraged  to share their thoughts and questions, and reminded of the vital role they play in shaping narratives and fostering trust in an increasingly complex world.

This episode of Mission Forward explores this evolving dynamic with Sarah Schwimmer, co-lead executive at B Lab Global, the non-profit behind the B Corp movement. Host Carrie Fox cedes the interviewing chair to her colleague, Bridget Pooley, Mission Partners' chief operating officer, for a deep dive into the forces reshaping corporate responsibility.They explore the Edelman Trust Barometer's findings, revealing a fascinating dynamic: as trust in traditional institutions wanes, the pressure mounts on businesses to step up. Sarah highlights the B Corp movement's explosive growth as evidence of this trend, with thousands of companies seeking ways to balance purpose and profit. She shares compelling examples of B Corps actively engaging in their communities, like Legacy Vacation Resorts' efforts to empower employee voting.The conversation also touches on the crucial issue of shareholder vs. stakeholder capitalism.

The European Union formed in 1992 with the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in the city located at southern tip of the Netherlands. 12 counties initially joined the EU, and this has since grown to 27 member states. The European Union was once described as the “grand experiment.” Experiments are not without challenges… and setbacks. The exit of the United Kingdom—or Brexit—in 2020 was a major disappointment for the EU, but it has otherwise proven successful, albeit fragile and, in many respects, continues to strengthen as a unified citizen-led democracy. The last few years have been tough on the EU. Economic uncertainty, rising inflation, and high energy prices, largely linked to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have left Europeans with a deepening sense of pessimism. In a survey of Europeans in the 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer, only 20 percent agreed that they or their family will be better off in next five years. Trust in government is low and there is a deepening divide on critical issues.  At the same time, the EU is the largest single market globally today. With a population approaching 450 million people and a GDP of €16 trillion, if it was a country, it would be the world's third largest (by both these metrics). The EU is ultimately a political and economic partnership, but it faces similar challenges to other economies. And these challenges are frequently compounded by the need to find consensus—and often compromise—among the 27 member states on very complex issues. No doubt, that is essentially how democracy works—it's difficult by design—but the EU government and member states do just that: They find consensus and compromises, and they legislate. A recent example is the Artificial Intelligence Act, the first-ever legal framework on AI, which was unanimously endorsed by all 27 member states. Our guest today is Karen Melchior. In 2019, Ms. Melchior became a Member of the European Parliament (MEP). Frustrated with the state of politics in both Denmark and the EU, she first ran for office in 2014 and was elected the following year to the Copenhagen City Council, where she served on the Social Committee and the Health and Care Committee.  Ms. Melchior has worked as a diplomat for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in data protection law and IT security at the Danish Agency for Labor Market and Recruitment. She holds an MA in Law and a Masters of Public Administration. As a MEP, Ms. Melchior serves on three committees: Legal Affairs, Women's Rights and Gender Equality, and Internal Market and Consumer Protection. She is also a member of Renew Europe, the third-largest political group in the European Parliament. In an online biography, Ms. Melchior said the following: “Political systems are created by people. They can also be changed by people. We cannot afford to let our frustrations grow to the point where they overshadow our capacity for action. Hate can be triggered as easily as hope. The society we have built, based on cooperation and freedom, is fragile. We need to fight every day to sustain it. We can achieve a lot if we dare to try! Let's roll up our sleeves, lift our gaze, and work together to create the kind of world we want.” Resources: About MEP Karen Melchior (European Commission) About MEP Karen MelchiorThe EU Artificial Intelligence ActCorporate Sustainability Due Diligence (European Commission)

A selection of global country trust scores across the four institutions.“It's shocking to me that the UK is at the absolute bottom of the 38 markets that we surveyed.”25 mins What's a good trust score for a country?“For a country (like the UK), you'd want to be at the top end of a neutral trust score (so upper 50s)”26 mins How do we explain an authoritarian state like China having such a high trust score?27 mins Should we be worried that the world's largest democracy, India, has a trust score within 3 points of China?28 mins Louise discusses the high trust scores that the UK public has in their employers.31 mins Most consumer media face the tough economic reality that they are still chasing page impressions to satisfy an advertising-driven model. This means they often create populist stories, which is not a good model if you want to retain the trust of your readers/viewers. Louise and Ben discuss the worrying results of this strategy from a trust perspective.33 mins Have we seen AI impact the trust scores of the institutions of trust yet?

A new report points to a crisis of trust in innovation, and the risk that rapid technological change — especially in the field of artificial intelligence — will fuel increased populism and polarization across societies. Richard Edelman, CEO of Edelman, discussed these and other findings from the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer during visits last week with the global communications firm's clients in tech-heavy Seattle and San Francisco. GeekWire sat down with Edelman during his visit to the firm's downtown Seattle office for this episode of the GeekWire Podcast. He discusses the shift in trust from top-down authority figures to local relationships, with employees and consumers expecting companies to take a stand on important issues.  Edelman suggests that businesses and technology leaders need to focus on implementation, adaptation, and acceptance of innovation, and to be transparent and clear in their communication with the public.

The Edelman Trust Barometer just released it's 2023 report.  Based on interviews with 32,000 people across 28 countries, it found that people trusted business more than the media, government and NGOs. The report on this phenomenon may nudge some Christian businesspeople, who previously had been hesitant to express their faith in the marketplace to finally step up and begin to see their careers and businesses as ministries.  Here's why and how. The XI Community

There's a trust crisis in America. According to Gallup, trust is down in institutions ranging from government, to the media, schools, and just about everything in between. Unfortunately, non-profit organizations aren't immune from this decline in trust. In fact, the Edelman Trust Barometer shows that non-profits are now trusted less than businesses for the first time in 40 years. The trust crisis has real world implications for non-profits and the beneficiaries they serve as demonstrated by RKD Group's new study "Non-Profit Marketer's Guide to Trust". Their findings show a direct relationship between a donor's level of trust and their willingness to give AND maximize contributions over their lifetime. Amanda Wasson, RKD Group's Executive Vice President of Client Services, joins the show to deconstruct this pressing research. We deep dive into RKD's findings and, as importantly, walk through actionable steps non-profits can take to build and enhance trust with their donors. The non-profit sector can't wish the trust gap away, but we do have the tools the close it. Take your first step towards closing the trust gap with donors by listening to this interview with Amanda Wasson.

This episode features an interview with Julia Christenson, U.S. Employee Experience Chair at Edelman. Julia has over 15 years of experience helping clients design employee engagement programs to drive stability and connection. She has developed employee sentiment dashboards, manager trainings, go-to-market message plans, and culture roadmaps. Prior to joining Edelman, Julia led the People Advisory Services at EY and organizational change management at IBM.In this episode, Amanda and Julia discuss the sticky factor of employee experience, the power of employee recognition, and how to establish trust in difficult times.-------------------“I think one of the other things is when there's just a lack of communications until all decisions are final. Bring us to the seat at the table, even if you don't know the decision yet. Even if you don't know if we're going to switch our benefits or IT platforms, or if we don't know how the branding's going to change, bring us in and have it be a part of the discussion. I do think where it's challenging is where there is just a vacuum until all decisions are final. Without communications, that's where rumors start, misinformation, distrust is because we don't understand what's being decided or even what the process looks like.” – Julia Christenson-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:21): How Julia defines employee experience *(09:30): Segment: Story Time*(14:19): Julia dives into the Edelman Trust Barometer *(20:08): Segment: Getting Tactical*(20:55): Why employee recognition is important*(28:20): How leaders can establish transparency during difficult times*(35:44): How to rebuild trust after a layoff*(44:49): Segment: Asking For a Friend-------------------Links:Connect with Julia on LinkedInCheck out the 2023 Edelman Trust BarometerConnect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

Earlier this year, the Mind Tools and Emotion at Work teams ran a fringe event at the CIPD Festival of Work. At the event, we asked participants for their ‘Hot Takes': something that's a little bit provocative - but might actually be true. This week, in a special crossover episode, The Mind Tools L&D Podcast team are joined by Phil and Lizzi from Emotion at Work to reveal the winner: Most employees aren't actually that interested in L&D. We discuss: the extent to which we think this ‘Hot Take' is true the importance of development to employees vs ‘learning and development' as a function what L&D teams can do to market and promote themselves. During the discussion, Phil referenced the Kirkpatrick Model of evaluation. Ross referenced the work of Shannon Tipton to help L&D teams develop a brand. In ‘What I Learned This Week', Nahdia referenced the Edelman Trust Barometer and British Social Attitude Survey. Phil referenced Kids Week at the London Theatre.

Autonomous vehicles are economic engines that will increase safety, create jobs, and boost consumer spending. The problem is many people don't think about them that way. .  Despite the negative backlash on automation and autonomy, 75% of the global public trusts the technology sector, a 1-point increase year-over-year, according to the 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer. The trust is there, but the AV industry needs to work on the messaging to help consumers realize that autonomy can improve their lives and create jobs. .

Tired of leaders who prioritize power over trust? You're not alone. According to the Edelman Trust Barometer 2023, a lack of faith in societal institutions triggered by economic anxiety, disinformation, mass-class divide, and a failure of leadership has brought us to a deeply and dangerously polarized state.But don't worry, in this podcast, we've got you covered. We speak with globally renowned keynote speaker and founder of The Trusted Executive, Dr. John Blakey, who shares the importance of trust and purposeful leadership in the 21st century. During our conversation, John notes how leaders can inspire trust in their people by exhibiting nine habits of trust under the three pillars of ability, integrity, and benevolence. Our discussion emphasizes the need for purposeful leadership that prioritizes the power of trust over the trust in power.Here are some key takeaways that you won't want to miss:Importance of Trust:John shares a personal experience from 18 years ago when his boss questioned his response to a good day and asked if he was "too effing nice". In the 21st century, leaders need to be creative in defining great leadership and rely on trust instead of power. The Trust Executive Foundation attracts leaders who prioritize trust.Nine Habits of Trust:We delve into the details of John's nine habits that inspire trust in people and why transparency is critical in building trust. Businesses need to contribute to more than just profit-making.Evolution of Power:We map out how the evolution of power is changing, and how existing power struggles will formulate in the market. The challenges in driving factors that lead to sell are not new, but crisis can be the catalyst for change.Creating Clear Visions:We explore why business leaders need clear visions for their organisations and how to galvanise movements for change both internally and externally. We draw comparisons to current notable leaders and how the Edelman Trust Barometer notes the loss of trust in governments and media requires business leaders to articulate new visions and agendas. We also focus on the Triple Bottom Line vision (people, profit, planet) and why it's a priority for investors and the communities you serve.Articulating Beliefs:We highlight why business leaders need to be clear about their values and beliefs and articulate clear narratives that resonate with people's values. We provide insight on Milton Friedman's Neoliberalism and how it promotes shareholder value above anything else, which is no longer relevant and is to the detriment of society. We explore whether stakeholder capitalism is the way forward in today's changed creator economy. Purposeful Leadership:Leaders need to focus on the future and create something new by exhibiting purposeful leadership. We discuss why people with the seed of leadership should be excited about the opportunity to create something new.It was an absolute pleasure to have John on the show. We're grateful he made the time to come sit down with us. This one is packed with wisdom and practical tools regarding trust, motivation, purposeful leadership, and we sincerely hope you enjoy the exchange! As always, you can find the podcast on Apple, Acast, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.

The Godfather Theme Song- Play 0:07-0:20 https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/crime-pmn/arrest-of-last-godfather-deals-new-blow-to-ailing-sicilian-mafia Arrest of 'last godfather' deals new blow to ailing Sicilian mafia ROME — The arrest of Sicilian mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro deals a powerful blow to the mythology of the Cosa Nostra, toppling a symbol of the group’s resistance to police efforts to break up organized crime. Messina Denaro, 60, was Italy’s most wanted mafia boss and had been on the run for three decades. He had been sentenced in absentia to a life term for his role in the 1992 murders of anti-mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. His arrest comes almost 30 years to the day after police caught Salvatore “Toto” Riina, Cosa Nostra’s biggest figure of the 20th century, and marks the last step in efforts to dismantle the group’s historical clan leadership. Experts describe Cosa Nostra, its fame amplified by movies such as “The Godfather,” as an ailing crime group facing several difficulties, including competition in the highly lucrative drugs market. Although Cosa Nostra retains control of its Sicilian territory and a capacity to infiltrate the broader economy, it has been supplanted by groups such as the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta in the drugs trade. Sergi said it was not clear who would step in to replace Messina Denaro in what is now a more factionalised mafia. https://www.theepochtimes.com/biden-administration-urges-judges-to-lift-stay-on-cdcs-airplane-mask-mandate_4990674.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport President Joe Biden’s administration in a court hearing on Jan. 17 urged judges on a federal appeals court to overturn a ruling from a lower court that struck down the administration’s airplane mask mandate. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had “good cause” to impose the mandate and bypass the notice- and comment period required by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), Brian Springer, an attorney for the government, told judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. At the time the mandate was imposed, in early 2021, “there were variants that had just been detected that showed signs of increased transmissibility, and people were starting to travel again,” Springer said. “In those circumstances, the CDC had good cause to issue this order, particularly when the CDC detailed the reasons why in this particular environment, namely in the transportation sector and in transportation settings, COVID had a specific tendency to spread among people who are traveling together because they’re standing together in lines and sitting together on conveyances.” One of the judges expressed skepticism with the line of thinking, accusing the CDC of issuing “boilerplate” language to impose the mandate without a notice and comment period. Under a ruling in a separate case, boilerplate statements that COVID-19 exists and that there’s a public emergency aren’t sufficient to satisfy the “good cause” exception to the APA. Springer disagreed, saying the CDC’s statement provided rationale that met the standard. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Trump appointee, said in her 2022 ruling that the CDC violated the APA by only issuing a single conclusory sentence to support ducking the notice requirements. She noted that at the time the order was issued, around a year had passed since the beginning of the pandemic, and COVID-19 cases in America were on the decline. Brent Hardaway, arguing for Health Freedom Defense Fund, which brought the case, said that the mandate was “very strange” given that airplanes and many airports already had mandates in place, in addition to the decline in cases. Other portions of the hearing went over arguments as to whether the CDC has the authority to mandate masks. U.S. code gives the federal government the power to enforce regulations judged as “necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession.” The government, to enforce such measures, “may provide for such inspection, fumigation, disinfection, sanitation, pest extermination, destruction of animals or articles found to be so infected or contaminated as to be sources of dangerous infection to human beings, and other measures, as in his judgment may be necessary,” the statute says. In striking down the CDC’s moratorium on evictions, the Supreme Court found that the agency overstepped the authority outlined in the law. But the court also said the law empowered the CDC to impose measures that “directly relate to preventing the interstate spread of disease by identifying, isolating, and destroying the disease itself.” https://www.dailyfetched.com/study-finds-journalists-are-now-among-the-most-distrusted-groups-in-the-world/ Study Finds Journalists Are Now among the Most Distrusted Groups in the World According to The Edelman Trust Barometer, more than two-thirds of respondents worried that journalists and reporters are “purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations.” Out of all the groups presented, the percentage of journalists is the highest. The findings also show that the percentage is the highest among the groups presented, with one percentage point above government leaders. The newest finding is eight points higher than last year, proving that people are rapidly losing trust in the media. However, when the question was phrased differently, journalists fared slightly better. Out of the groups presented, Government leaders ranked the lowest at 42%, with journalists coming in second with 46%. The most trusted groups were scientists and fellow coworkers, at 75% and 74%, respectively. The new findings reflect the gorwing lack of trust in media. Of those surveyed, 46% said media divided society, compared to just 35% who said media are a unifying force. There were also concerns about the weaponization of fake news, with over three-quarters of respondents saying they were concerned about it. President Ronald Reagan extolled the central role of the media in American democracy. “Since the founding of this nation, freedom of the press has been a fundamental tenet of American life,” Reagan said on Oct. 6, 1983. “There is no more essential ingredient than a free, strong, and independent press to our continued success in what the Founding Fathers called our ‘noble experiment’ in self-government.” However, the media has changed a lot since then, becoming an entity that is no different from a Government lobbyist. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/illinois-counties-not-enforce-assault-weapon-ban More than 70 Illinois counties say they will not enforce state 'assault weapon' ban: Report Illinois sheriffs of almost 80 counties are refusing to enforce the state's " assault weapons " ban that was recently signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker . Pritzker signed the Protect Illinois Communities Act into law on Jan. 10, which bans the distribution and sale of "assault weapons," high-capacity magazines, and switches in Illinois. Those who own such guns are expected to register them with Illinois State Police by Jan. 1, 2024. However, at least 74 sheriff's departments have publicly stated they will not enforce the ban, stating it infringes on the Second Amendment, according to ABC News. Edwards County Sheriff Darby Boewe wrote in a statement that part of his duty is to protect the right to keep and bear arms. "The right to keep and bear arms for defense of life, liberty, and property is regarded as an inalienable right by the people," Boewe wrote. "Therefore, as the custodian of the jail and chief law enforcement officer for Edwards County, that neither myself or my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will we be arresting or housing individuals that have been charged solely with noncompliance of this act." The statement was drafted by Illinois Sheriffs' Association Executive Director Jim Kaitschuk, according to ABC News, and sent out to sheriff's departments to use or make edits if desired. DuPage, Sangamon, and Iroquois counties are among the 74 departments that have released similarly modified statements. Iroquois County Sheriff Clinton Perzee said he would not use his jails to detain people exercising their civil rights, according to the Lake and McHenry County Scanner. At an event in Quincy on Jan. 12, Pritzker told the crowd that law enforcement needs to enforce the law or leave the field. Several counties have reportedly designated themselves "Second Amendment sanctuary cities," something that Pritzker dismissed at the Quincy event. https://www.dailywire.com/news/good-things-will-happen-brendan-fraser-chokes-up-after-critics-choice-win ‘Good Things Will Happen’: Brendan Fraser Chokes Up After Critic’s Choice Win During the peak of his success, being one of the highest-paid actors of the time for blockbusters like The Mummy, George of the Jungle and Bedazzled, Fraser completely disappeared from the movie scene. While the movie was all action-packed fun with Fraser portraying the tough and oh so handsome Rick O’Connell, the actor suffered several major injuries during the shooting of the three films. During the filming of The Mummy in 1999, Fraser was almost choked to death during his hanging scene in the opening of the movie, as per The Things. His co-star Rachel Weisz recalled that he stopped breathing and even needed CPR. And that was just one mishap. The injuries he received from the ancient Egyptian-themed films led to multiple surgeries including a laminectomy, a back procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves; a partial knee replacement; more back surgeries to bolt compressed spinal pads together; vocal cord repair and other procedures, as per People magazine. Just as his professional life took a hit, his private life also resulted in a blow when his ex-wife, Afton Smith, split from him in 2007. Fraser was then required to pay around US$900,000 for child support, as per the New York Post. Six years after the divorce, Fraser allegedly asked the court to reduce the payment as he said he was no longer able to afford the hefty sum due to lack of work. Fast forward to today… Fraser broke down in tears during his acceptance speech during Sunday evening’s Critic’s Choice Awards. Fraser was nominated for his performance as Charlie — a morbidly obese teacher who was attempting to repair his damaged relationship with his daughter (played by Sadie Sink) while eating himself to death — in “The Whale,” and he took home the Best Actor prize. Fraser was clearly already emotional when his name was announced, and everyone at his table got to their feet and cheered. The applause continued as he made his way to the stage, stopping only to offer hugs and handshakes to a few people along the way. Once Fraser took the stage, it was clear that he was not going to make it through the speech without his emotions getting the best of him. https://twitter.com/i/status/1614819071098343426 - Play Video New Saint Andrews: Today’s culture shifts like sand.

President Ronald Reagan extolled the central role of the media in American democracy. “Since the founding of this nation, freedom of the press has been a fundamental tenet of American life,” Reagan said on Oct. 6, 1983. “There is no more essential ingredient than a free, strong, and independent press to our continued success in what the Founding Fathers called our ‘noble experiment’ in self-government.” However, the media has changed a lot since then, becoming an entity that is no different from a Government lobbyist. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/illinois-counties-not-enforce-assault-weapon-ban More than 70 Illinois counties say they will not enforce state 'assault weapon' ban: Report Illinois sheriffs of almost 80 counties are refusing to enforce the state's " assault weapons " ban that was recently signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker . Pritzker signed the Protect Illinois Communities Act into law on Jan. 10, which bans the distribution and sale of "assault weapons," high-capacity magazines, and switches in Illinois. Those who own such guns are expected to register them with Illinois State Police by Jan. 1, 2024. However, at least 74 sheriff's departments have publicly stated they will not enforce the ban, stating it infringes on the Second Amendment, according to ABC News. Edwards County Sheriff Darby Boewe wrote in a statement that part of his duty is to protect the right to keep and bear arms. "The right to keep and bear arms for defense of life, liberty, and property is regarded as an inalienable right by the people," Boewe wrote. "Therefore, as the custodian of the jail and chief law enforcement officer for Edwards County, that neither myself or my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will we be arresting or housing individuals that have been charged solely with noncompliance of this act." The statement was drafted by Illinois Sheriffs' Association Executive Director Jim Kaitschuk, according to ABC News, and sent out to sheriff's departments to use or make edits if desired. DuPage, Sangamon, and Iroquois counties are among the 74 departments that have released similarly modified statements. Iroquois County Sheriff Clinton Perzee said he would not use his jails to detain people exercising their civil rights, according to the Lake and McHenry County Scanner. At an event in Quincy on Jan. 12, Pritzker told the crowd that law enforcement needs to enforce the law or leave the field. Several counties have reportedly designated themselves "Second Amendment sanctuary cities," something that Pritzker dismissed at the Quincy event. https://www.dailywire.com/news/good-things-will-happen-brendan-fraser-chokes-up-after-critics-choice-win ‘Good Things Will Happen’: Brendan Fraser Chokes Up After Critic’s Choice Win During the peak of his success, being one of the highest-paid actors of the time for blockbusters like The Mummy, George of the Jungle and Bedazzled, Fraser completely disappeared from the movie scene. While the movie was all action-packed fun with Fraser portraying the tough and oh so handsome Rick O’Connell, the actor suffered several major injuries during the shooting of the three films. During the filming of The Mummy in 1999, Fraser was almost choked to death during his hanging scene in the opening of the movie, as per The Things. His co-star Rachel Weisz recalled that he stopped breathing and even needed CPR. And that was just one mishap. The injuries he received from the ancient Egyptian-themed films led to multiple surgeries including a laminectomy, a back procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves; a partial knee replacement; more back surgeries to bolt compressed spinal pads together; vocal cord repair and other procedures, as per People magazine. Just as his professional life took a hit, his private life also resulted in a blow when his ex-wife, Afton Smith, split from him in 2007. Fraser was then required to pay around US$900,000 for child support, as per the New York Post. Six years after the divorce, Fraser allegedly asked the court to reduce the payment as he said he was no longer able to afford the hefty sum due to lack of work. Fast forward to today… Fraser broke down in tears during his acceptance speech during Sunday evening’s Critic’s Choice Awards. Fraser was nominated for his performance as Charlie — a morbidly obese teacher who was attempting to repair his damaged relationship with his daughter (played by Sadie Sink) while eating himself to death — in “The Whale,” and he took home the Best Actor prize. Fraser was clearly already emotional when his name was announced, and everyone at his table got to their feet and cheered. The applause continued as he made his way to the stage, stopping only to offer hugs and handshakes to a few people along the way. Once Fraser took the stage, it was clear that he was not going to make it through the speech without his emotions getting the best of him. https://twitter.com/i/status/1614819071098343426 - Play Video New Saint Andrews: Today’s culture shifts like sand.
