Together they explore Beth's story-driven approach to writing a guidebook-memoir that helps readers notice the facilitation happening in life's ordinary moments—and use that noticing to learn facilitation skills or deepen their practice. Beth and Joseph also talk about: How journaling everyday moments shaped the book's direction The three types of readers the book is written for, from accidental to occasional to experienced facilitators Why inner work and self-care are everyday acts of facilitation What performance, introversion, and authenticity have to do with facilitation style Some of the chapter themes that may matter the most right now Connect with Joseph Diaz LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephadiaz/ Talk Learning with Me podcast  Join the L&D Collective (including Joseph's book club) Connect with Beth Cougler Blom Visit bcblearning.com to explore Beth's company's services in facilitation and learning design Check out Beth's books, Design to Engage and Everyday Acts of Facilitation Follow Beth on Instagram or LinkedIn Links From the Episode Beth's book coach, Adrienne Dyer EP 43 Writing a Book in the Field with Beth Cougler Blom Connect with the Facilitating on Purpose podcast: Follow Facilitating on Purpose on Instagram, LinkedIn, or YouTube Show notes available at facilitatingonpurpose.ca Podcast production services by Mary Chan of Organized Sound Productions

    Ian sits down with Mike Manheimer, Chief Customer Officer at Postscript, to unpack how brands turn SMS into a revenue engine. Mike shares why Black Friday and Cyber Monday expose marketers who under-communicate, how Postscript aligns marketing and customer success under one leader, and why incrementality is the only metric that matters in e-commerce. Key Takeaways: · Under-communication kills revenue. During high-intent moments, hesitation leaves dollars on the table. · E-commerce buyers care about one thing: making more money. Marketing strategy must tie directly to incremental revenue. · Community drives pipeline. The fastest way into tight-knit markets is by creating spaces for customers to connect. · B2B marketers are too risk-averse. Owned data and bold experimentation win. · AI will redefine marketing. Don't just buy tools — start building.

    Allison Yamamoto: A Marathoner's RED-s Recovery Story

    To be clear, Allison's story is not about weight loss or chasing thinness, perse, but more so about being a regimented, disciplined athlete who wanted to see what she was capable of as a runner—and who wanted to leverage her nutrition to support that pursuit.   In addition, Allison was coming into running as a young adult in this time of thriving influencer culture, so this is also a story about negotiating popular narratives around nutrition and athletic performance. Narratives that often fail to clarify who they truly benefit, if anyone, and the fact that what they're proposing can actually be harmful for some populations, like women endurance athletes.  And then, there are just the garden variety persistent narratives like thinner is better: it isn't. And, that menstrual cycle disruptions are normal: they are not.  Not getting a regular period is a big red flag that something is seriously wrong. And yes, it's very common with women athletes, but that doesn't mean it's normal. That sort of thinking—that losing one's period is a normal part of being a woman athlete—just emphasizes how much we've normalized under-fueling for women athletes. And, we know very well now, and have for a long, long time, that under-fueling has both short-term and long-term consequences. Left unattended, under-fueling can have serious and lasting, sometimes permanent health issues, like poor bone health and fertility issues, including infertility.  And in the short-term, under-fueling impacts training, recovery, and mood. You'll hear Allison talk about these issues in her story. As she learned, you cannot fire on all cylinders when you aren't eating enough, often enough.  Through her time experiencing and then recovering from reds, Allison learned a lot. But it wasn't easy; it never is. The whole journey had such an impact on her that she's now focused her career on coaching and sports nutrition. Her aim is to help provide the comprehensive support she didn't have during her recovery from reds. She has also come to a place in her running journey that is both, as she says, flexible and sustainable.  Allison's story is both cautionary and inspirational. Mentioned in this Episode Allison Yamamoto Instagram: @allisonyamamoto WRS Substack newsletter: womensrunningstories.substack.com To support WRS, please rate and review the show iTunes/Apple:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44fa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music Credits Cormac O'Regan, of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Playtoh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coma-Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PaulYudin⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rockot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠chillmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways to Connect and Engage with Women's Running Stories WRS Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@womensrunningstories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/WomensRunningStories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ womensrunningstories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    How are you creating impactful transcripts for your show? You've probably seen a bad podcast transcript. Maybe the creator was lazy in their transcription, maybe the AI was flummoxed by the proper nouns, punctuation, or audio labels—whatever the reason, such sub-par writing begs the question: is there even a point to having transcripts if they aren't very good? That's one of the queries Mary poses to podcast producer and consultant Jess Schmidt. It turns out Jess isn't just an expert in the industry, she's also a font of historical transcript knowledge, thanks in part to her past career generating closed captions for live television. Jess and Mary get into the importance of timestamps, SEO, and accessibility. They tackle the many issues facing platforms and creators alike as automated transcripts take centre stage and the continued importance of human eyes when it comes to rendering written versions of human speech. If you're not already a transcript nerd, you will be after this episode! Learn about the future of transcripts from the industry's storied past: The limitations of and issues with AI-generated transcripts on hosting platforms; How closed captioning is similar and different from transcripts; The fascinating history of YouTube's AI-generated "craptions"; Jess's hopeful daydream for the future of podcast transcription.

    Hello to you listening in Samish, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Imagine this: a storyteller in a room full of litigators. No! Not alligators - litigators. Trial attorneys who are curious about learning the tools to engage with their own narrative so that they could connect to the stories of their plaintiff clients - not as lawyers but as people. Once they know how to access their own stories they can engage the experiences of the jury, find common ground with the plaintiff's story and, be well on their way to winning the trial.Over 30 years my clients have learned that before you tell someone else's story be very clear about your own. Do the hard work of an archeological dig on your narrative. Once we understand how our narrative shapes and re-shapes our life, our purpose, the relationships we have with others we are well on our way to knowing what we stand for, what we won't stand for, and how we can be of service. Our story can become one of advocacy, leadership, and healing. Our story can shift attitudes, behaviors, even cultures.CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE?

    Podcast episode image: ©Jim Boone, BirdAndHike.com This episode, we welcome back Tim Shields, a dedicated desert tortoise biologist whose half-century-long career has been devoted to unwavering efforts in conservation. As we explore abandoned terrains once frequented by old Hollywood, Tim shares his innovative methods combatting raven predation and invasive plant species threatening tortoise habitats. In this captivating episode, Tim Shields explores how the invasive grass Schismus has transformed once vibrant, diverse desert landscapes into monotonous expanses, diminishing essential food sources and shelter for the desert tortoise. Chris and Tim engage in a panoramic conversation covering technological advances in ecosystem management, the ecological consequences of invasive species, and the ways technology can help mitigate human impact on wildlife. Through innovative tools and perseverance, Tim aims to hand over a toolkit to future generations for the restoration of these precious ecosystems. Key Takeaways: Raven Management: Tim has pioneered non-lethal methods to deter ravens, such as innovative lasers that make the birds uneasy without physical harm, significantly reducing raven presence in key habitats. Invasive Species Impact: Schismus grass represents a major threat to desert ecosystems, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to restore native plant diversity. Ecological Vibrancy: Creating a sound-based ecological index could help measure the health and diversity of the desert ecosystems, showing the vibrancy and biodiversity of an environment through acoustics. Future of Conservation: Tim emphasizes the importance of preparing future generations with the tools and knowledge to continue ecological restoration and avoid repeating past mistakes. Hope Through Innovation: Despite challenges, Tim remains optimistic about technologies and methods paving the way for ecological recovery in the desert. Notable Quotes: "Ravens are good students. We are talking to them in bird." "If you have an environment that can support tortoises, it supports the whole crew." "The Schismus remains invisible to most; they don't notice it, but we see the ecological damage." "It’s about putting our hands on the ecological levers; otherwise, protected lands will become irrelevant." "This is a beloved landscape, and it is in dire trouble."

From there, Ken and J.P. tackle why these passages feel uniquely difficult today, how modern culture tends to elevate “soft virtues” (love/mercy) while minimizing “hard virtues” (justice/holiness), and why many people unintentionally rewrite Scripture to match cultural expectations.They focus heavily on context—historical realities, existential threats, and Israel's role in God's redemptive plan—and point listeners to a key resource: Paul Copan's book Is God a Moral Monster? for deeper study.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Gregory: I have the ability to recognize and reframe patterns.Startup failure rates have hovered around 90% for over 30 years. Gregory Shepard, Founder and CEO of Startup Science, decided to tackle this persistent challenge with a comprehensive, science-backed approach. His goal is nothing short of transformative: to reduce failure rates and create a better ecosystem for entrepreneurs.Gregory's research revealed that 47.1% of startups fail within the first 18 months, with the remaining failures often linked to poor decisions made during that critical period. “There's no industry I can think of that would be okay with 90% of the people trying to succeed failing,” he explained. “I decided to do something about it.”Startup Science offers a centralized platform where entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and support organizations can connect and collaborate. Gregory has worked to eliminate fragmentation in the startup ecosystem by providing tools, resources, and education—all free for founders. This mission is fueled by his belief that entrepreneurship drives innovation and can create opportunities for people from all backgrounds.Gregory's commitment to democratizing entrepreneurship extends to the way he's raising funds for Startup Science. He's launched a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder, allowing anyone—not just accredited investors—to support his mission. “If somebody invests in Startup Science, you're investing into all of the startups that we're helping, which is 100,000 of them at the moment,” he said.Gregory's passion is deeply personal. Growing up in poverty, he understands the barriers many entrepreneurs face. That empathy drives his vision to create an accessible, equitable platform that empowers founders to succeed while transforming the global economy.By leveraging his scientific approach to analyzing startup success and failure, Gregory is helping entrepreneurs avoid predictable pitfalls and build sustainable businesses. His efforts could fundamentally reshape the entrepreneurial landscape, enabling innovation to thrive.To learn more or support this initiative, visit Startup Science's crowdfunding campaign.

Gregory sees connections others might overlook, enabling him to create solutions that integrate fragmented systems into cohesive ecosystems. He describes it as understanding how seemingly separate components interact, much like a solar system where the founder is the sun and other elements orbit around them.Gregory's superpower was pivotal in building and selling Affiliate Traction to eBay Enterprise Marketing Solutions. He noticed that affiliate marketing—now a cornerstone of influencer marketing—was fragmented, with disconnected tools and processes. Gregory envisioned a unified system and developed software that brought these elements together. By connecting the dots, he transformed the industry and created a successful company, later replicating this approach with other ventures.Tips for Developing Pattern Recognition:Identify the structure of a system or process by analyzing its components and relationships.Observe how elements interact within a system and look for inefficiencies or gaps.Reimagine connected systems as an ecosystem where all parts work collaboratively.Practice applying this framework in various contexts, from business to social environments.By following Gregory's example and advice, you can make pattern recognition a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

    One thing moms struggle with is feeling bad about their progress in becoming calm and showing up calm with their kids. We all know we aren't at our best when we're stressed, overwhelmed and reactive. But knowing how to calm down in the moment isn't always as easy as it sounds.You'll Learn:Why you become reactive and yell, threaten or ice your kid outThree steps to pause and get back to calmClues you need a Pause BreakWhat to do after you've reacted in a way you don't loveI'm walking you through my 3-step process to catch yourself, pause and get back to feeling calm.---------------------------------------Why Do I Still Get So Mad?All moms experience really tough parenting moments. Moments when you've been stuck in what I call Mad Mom SyndromeYou know what I'm talking about. Moments when your child is a bit off track and you get upset and all of a sudden you are yelling, threatening, and lecturing, followed by guilt and rushed apologies.Moments you are worried that the behavior you see in the present is a predictor of the future, so you act super strict and controlling.Moments when you are frustrated and say a snide or mean remark to your kid.Then, when you have a mad mom episode and act in a way you don't think you should, a lot of criticism, guilt, and doubt pours in. You feel bad that you aren't calm or think you should be getting there faster. But here's the thing…Becoming calm is a PROCESS. It's a PRACTICE. It's something you work on over time. Some days it's easy, and some days it isn't. All of that is ok.These types of moments are a clue that you are in your stress cycle and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Your brain is convinced that the circumstance is an emergency. Then, the brain activates a BIG, INTENSE STRESS RESPONSE.You become super reactive and respond to your children with stress, anxiety, frustration or anger. Then they escalate their stress behaviors and the next thing you know you are in a chaotic argument with your kids. The 3 Stages of Becoming CalmBecoming Calm is a process. It takes time. Be gentle with yourself. When you feel yourself spiraling, CATCH YOURSELF AND PAUSE. This is simple but not easy, and it comes in stages.Stage 1 - The AFTER. When you're first starting out, you may only catch yourself after you've yelled or gotten upset. Stage 2 - The DURING. After a while, you'll catch yourself while you are yelling or acting upset. Stage 3 - The BEFORE. Eventually you start to catch yourself before you yell or act out your frustration/overwhelm. This is the goal that you're working towards. No matter what stage you're in, to get out of Mad Mom Syndrome and get back to feeling calm, you need the Pause Break. There are also 3 steps to the Pause Break:Step 1: STOPDon't Talk. Don't Engage. You can stop yourself at any point when you notice you are in your stress response and are seeing signs of Mad Mom Syndrome.Step 2: DELAYDon't decide. Don't act. Don't do anything about the situation (unless it's a true emergency). Give yourself time to think and get calm.Step 3: RESETActively do something to calm your stress response. During a "Reset", you will move your body,

    If you're tired of stitching together a pricey, time-sucking podcast stack, you'll love this. Nathan Gwilliam is a serial entrepreneur whose latest exit was Adoption.com. After hosting 350+ episodes on digital monetization, he found the typical toolkit fragmented and costly—around two grand a month—and built PodUp, an AI-powered, single-login platform with 50+ integrated tools to create, grow, and monetize. For time-strapped teams, he also started PodAllies, a done-for-you agency that handles production and marketing once you hit stop. Today, Nathan shares how to go from fragmented to frictionless—and scale your show at a fraction of the cost.Nathan Gwilliam is a serial entrepreneur who has created and sold 3 digital ventures. His most recent exit was Adoption.com, which was the world's most-visited adoption site. After selling Adoption.com Nathan started hosting a podcast about digital monetization, where he published more than 350 episodes. After a few months of publishing audio, video, biogs, social, a website and a newsletter for his show, Nathan realized he was doing it the hard way. Nathan needed more than 30 different technologies that cost nearly $2,000 per month. Those technologies were missing a lot of the functionality he needed, and they had very little integration. He felt like he was duct-taping them together. And, they took way too much time and effort. Even after recording and editing the content, Nathan still had to pay someone 4 hours per day to syndicate the content. Nathan realized the need to solve this problem by creating the all-in-one podcasting platform. So, Nathan began building his fourth venture, PodUp, the ultimate podcasting platform with 50+ tools for creating, growing and monetizing a podcast venture... powered by Al. These tools are integrated, have one username and password, and are available for a small fraction of the price of licensing all the technologies individually.Many businesses and entrepreneurs want a podcast to build thought leadership, credibility and reach, but they don't feel they have time. To solve this problem, PodUp runs a podcasting agency named PodAllies that provides done-for-you podcast production and marketing services. PodAllies clients can record their episodes, and then PodAllies can do essentially everything else for them. In addition to Nathan's ventures, he's also consulted for numerous companies. For example: • He increased revenue by $5 million for a Facebook app in just 12 months. • Developed and launched the social strategy for a media company that grew social follows from less than 100k to 130 million+. This became the most engaging social channels of any publisher in the world at that time with 40 million+ monthly comments, likes, and shares (source: Unmetric). • Created a network of sites and social channels which reached 280 million monthly uniques. • Launched a YouTube channel in four languages that received 1.7 million video views in the first 2 months. • Helped grow Azul airlines' social follows from 5k to 1.6 million in 12 months and created a travel social network for them. Azul became the fastest-growing airline ever in those early days and had a successful IPO. • Created a language-learning platform that reached close to a million fans. Nathan has won numerous awards, such as: • Awarded "Best of the Decade" by the BYU Center for Entrepreneurship&. Technology. • Awarded the US Congress "Angel in Adoption". • Won two different business plan competitions. • Inducted into the "Adoption Hall of Fame".Contact Details:Email: nathan@gwilliam.com Business: PodUpWebsite: https://podup.com/ Social Media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathangwilliam Remember to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss "Information That You Can Use."

    Pastor Richard Crisco | Rochester Christian ChurchWelcome to Rochester Christian Church Online! Today, Pastor Richard Crisco brings a powerful message titled Drinking The Calf.In this message, we confront a challenging truth: when we can't wait for God, when anxiety rises, and insecurity takes hold, we often create idols. Idol substitutes that feel safer, more controllable, and easier to manage. We don't just worship idols; we “drink” them in. And Scripture reminds us that we become like what we worship. Pastor Richard calls us to examine our hearts, surrender our need for control, and return to wholehearted trust in the one true God.Come expecting to be challenged, convicted, and drawn closer to the Lord as we learn to wait on Him with faith instead of fear.

In today's episode, Sanjana Paul, the Executive Director of Rooted Futures Lab, shared how her organization is bridging the gap between technology and environmental justice to create a more equitable and sustainable future.Sanjana explained that environmental justice, as a concept, ensures equal protection from environmental harm, regardless of income, race, or geography. She shared a disturbing insight from Dr. Robert Bullard's research: low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately burdened by pollution and environmental hazards. “A kid anywhere in the world should be able to breathe and not be breathing in pollution,” Sanjana said.Rooted Futures Lab is tackling this challenge by merging education, research, and action. A key initiative involves hosting environmental hackathons, where young scientists and engineers learn to develop technologies with environmental awareness at their core. “We see hackathons as a fun and community-centric way to introduce hands-on environmental education,” she explained. These events inspire the next generation of engineers to think critically about the environmental impact of their innovations.The organization also collaborates with students and researchers to reimagine technologies like refrigeration systems through workshops that focus on reducing environmental harm. Additionally, they are conducting research on digital infrastructure, such as data centers, to analyze their environmental impact and propose sustainable alternatives.“We should be trying to be better engineers,” Sanjana emphasized. “How can we build transit systems that get us from one place to another without giving a kid asthma?” Her work highlights how technology, when approached thoughtfully, can be used to address systemic inequities and reduce environmental harm.By focusing on educating future engineers, conducting groundbreaking research, and fostering collective action, Sanjana and Rooted Futures Lab are paving the way for a greener, fairer future.tl;dr:Sanjana Paul defines environmental justice and explains its connection to technology and systemic inequities.Rooted Futures Lab educates young engineers through hackathons to foster environmentally conscious innovation.Sanjana highlights key projects, including research on digital infrastructure and sustainable design workshops.She shares how her superpower, connecting the dots, enables her to bridge fields for positive impact.Sanjana encourages collaboration, curiosity, and deep thinking to address environmental challenges effectively.How to Develop Connecting the Dots As a SuperpowerSanjana describes her superpower as “connecting the dots.” She shared how her diverse background in electrical engineering, environmental science, and energy policy allows her to see links between seemingly unrelated fields. “These dots may not seem like they connect, but they really do to me,” Sanjana said. Her ability to uncover these connections enables her to address complex challenges, like bridging environmental justice and technology, with a holistic approach.Sanjana's work at Rooted Futures Lab exemplifies her superpower. While working in atmospheric sensing, she observed the devastating impacts of extreme weather events and pollution. This inspired her to connect environmental justice with technology, leading to the creation of Rooted Futures Lab. The organization now focuses on educating engineers about the environmental impacts of technology, hosting hackathons, and reimagining infrastructure to align with environmental justice principles.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Be Curious: Treat every moment as an opportunity to learn or teach.Think Holistically: Look for connections between seemingly unrelated fields or ideas.Engage with Others: Work collaboratively in a community to tackle complex problems.Slow Down: Take time to reflect on root causes instead of reacting to immediate issues.Learn from Experts: Seek knowledge from those working in areas you want to understand better.By following Sanjana's example and advice, you can make connecting the dots a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

    What does it take to introduce a brand new industry to a community? That is the challenge Chris Kelley, President of Hard Rock Casino Tejon, is tackling in opening the Hard Rock Casino Tejon in Kern County. With more than 20 years of experience in gaming and hospitality, Chris shares inspiring insights on Hard Rock's partnership with the Tejon tribe, the creation of thousands of jobs, and the impact of introducing an entirely new industry to a region traditionally dominated by agriculture and energy. From discussing amplified guest service and meaningful community relationships, to revealing the grassroots approach to workforce development, Chris unpacks how Hard Rock balances its global brand identity while authentically rooting itself in Kern County's culture and history. Tune in to discover the impact of breaking new ground and building an industry from the ground up.  You'll learn: The impact of introducing thousands of jobs to a region previously dominated by agriculture and energy, helping to diversify and strengthen the local economy.

    Dena Lewis has been a runner for over two decades and running is a core part of her life and well-being. But also, Dena has been attacked twice while running. She talks about these attacks in her story, and she talks about returning to running afterward—because running is such an important part of her life. These are the difficult realities of running as a woman, and I'm really thankful Dena is willing to share her story publicly. As you'll hear, this wasn't her first instinct: through and through, being assaulted is horrible. These assaults did clarify for Dena what she now sees as her life's purpose: she came to the point where she wanted to commit herself to helping to make runners safer. Through her experiences, Dena realized that there was a service she would have loved to use to help her feel safe while running, but it didn't exist. So, she created it. Dena is the founder and CEO of Running Mate, which she describes as UBER for runners. In addition to providing the service of being able hire someone to run with you, Running Mate is also involved in numerous safety awareness, support, and educational efforts. Mentioned in this EpisodeRunning Mate Instagram: @getrunningmateRunning Mate Website: getrunningmate.comWRS Substack newsletter: womensrunningstories.substack.comTo support WRS, please rate and review the showiTunes/Apple:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44fa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music CreditsCormac O'Regan, of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Playtoh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coma-Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PaulYudin⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rockot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠chillmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways to Connect and Engage with Women's Running StoriesWRS Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@womensrunningstories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/WomensRunningStories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ womensrunningstories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    What does it really take to move innovation from idea to impact inside a 95,000-person organization? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sat down with Vlora Muslimi, Senior Manager at TD Bank, whose path into innovation did not begin in a lab or a product team. It began in contact centers, in the daily friction of legacy tools, imperfect processes, and frontline employees trying to do their best work under pressure. With more than 15 years of experience across digital, omni-channel, and contact center operations, Vlora now leads a centralized innovation team responsible for harnessing grassroots ideas from across the enterprise. We are not talking about a handful of suggestions. Her team reviews between 16,000 and 18,000 ideas annually, and TD recently celebrated surpassing 100,000 employee-submitted ideas. Behind those numbers lies a disciplined approach to listening, triaging, matchmaking across business lines, and, most importantly, storytelling. Vlora shares how her early operational experience shaped her belief that innovation fails when it creates friction for either employees or customers. Solve only for one side, and the solution will not stick. That philosophy now guides how her team evaluates ideas, connects contact centers with technology teams, and prioritizes initiatives that balance business value with human impact. We spend time unpacking the emotional side of innovation, especially the heartbreak of ideas that do not move forward. What surprised her most was that employees were not asking for every idea to be implemented. They were asking for transparency. Who got selected? Why? What can we learn? That insight sparked a stronger internal storytelling engine, one that highlights winning ideas, shares lessons from the journey, and builds belief that anyone can bring an idea across the finish line. Our conversation also dives into empathy as a leadership muscle. Innovation leaders often rush toward outcomes, yet resistance frequently signals fear, confusion, or misalignment. Vlora explains why naming the discomfort in change, rather than sugarcoating it, builds trust and accelerates adoption. She reinforces that storytelling is not optional. It is the bridge between data and belief, between alignment and action. We explore real examples, from redesigning onboarding to improve connection and retention, to evolving adjudication processes for new-to-Canada customers. These are not flashy, headline-grabbing technologies. They are human-centered transformations that create measurable impact across millions of customers and thousands of colleagues. Looking ahead, Vlora sees growing sophistication in ideas leveraging generative AI, alongside a personal mission to increase the organization's implementation rate beyond its current 10 to 13 percent. For her, the path forward is clear. Engage more people. Strengthen the narrative. Connect impact to purpose. And when I ask her the big questions, she names the iPhone as the greatest innovation she has lived through, imagines joining Ford's original automobile team, and closes with a powerful reminder that the story the world needs now is one rooted in understanding and empathy. If you are leading change inside a complex organization, this episode is a masterclass in balancing listening with execution, process with people, and strategy with story. What might happen inside your organization if every employee believed their idea could matter?
