Leading with Heart: Transforming Organizational Culture through Alignment and TrustIn a world where organizational trust is at an all-time low and executive burnout has become the silent epidemic of the boardroom, the need for heart-centered leadership is no longer a "soft" luxury—it is a strategic necessity. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Hanna Bauer, the Founder and CEO of heartnomics, to discuss a revolutionary approach to professional excellence. Drawing from her harrowing personal journey of surviving terminal heart disease through a pioneering medical procedure, Hanna offers a perspective on leadership that integrates the precision of Six Sigma with the profound empathy of servant leadership. Their conversation serves as a roadmap for founders and executives who are ready to trade the "hustle at all costs" mentality for a high-performance culture rooted in rhythm, connection, and joy.The BEAT Framework: Harmonizing People, Purpose, and PerformanceModern organizations are often plagued by systemic misalignment, where 71% of digital transformations fail not because of the technology, but because of a lack of people readiness. Hanna addresses this by shifting the leadership metaphor from a linear "input-output" machine to a dynamic, synchronized dance. When a leader finds their "rhythm," they move beyond merely managing tasks and begin to foster psychological safety, allowing for honest dialogue and innovation without fear of retribution. This transformation requires the courage to perform a "cultural audit," using root cause analysis to identify outdated processes or toxic mindsets that no longer serve the organization's mission. By "burning away" these inefficiencies, leaders create the necessary space for new, healthy pathways of communication and collaboration to flourish.To bridge the gap between high-level vision and daily execution, Hanna introduces the BEAT framework: Belief, Engage, Act, and Transform. This model emphasizes that true excellence begins with a clarity of values (Belief) that must be authentically shared with the team (Engage) before purposeful execution (Act) can lead to sustainable change (Transform). For the 60% of leaders currently reporting symptoms of burnout, this framework provides a method to reduce cognitive overload by focusing on "less, but better." By prioritizing initiatives that align strictly with core values, leaders can normalize self-care and boundaries within their teams, ensuring that the organization maintains its focus on its "internal customers"—the employees who drive the brand's success.Implementation of this heart-centered approach starts with small, intentional "mini shifts" rather than overwhelming overhauls. Hanna suggests that leaders should act as facilitators of joy, creating rituals that celebrate wins and invite diverse perspectives into every decision-making process. This commitment to transparency and consistency builds the foundation of trust necessary to navigate times of uncertainty. When an organization's systems and processes are designed to serve human needs, the results are seen not just in the bottom line, but in the retention of top talent and the creation of a workplace where excellence and fulfillment exist in perfect harmony.About Hanna BauerHanna Bauer is the Founder and CEO of heartnomics, a keynote speaker, and an executive coach dedicated to heart-centered leadership. After a life-saving, experimental heart surgery, she dedicated her career to helping leaders align their passion with their performance, using her unique "HEARTnomics" philosophy to drive organizational transformation.About heartnomicsheartnomics is a consulting and coaching firm that specializes in organizational alignment, trust-building, and leadership development. The company provides holistic audits and frameworks—including the BEAT and CORE models—to help businesses identify systemic issues and foster a culture of excellence, purpose, and servant leadership.Links Mentioned in This Episodeheartnomics Official WebsiteHanna Bauer on LinkedInConclusionThis conversation with Hanna Bauer highlights that the most resilient organizations are those that prioritize the human element. By auditing your culture for alignment and having the courage to lead with vulnerability, you can transform your leadership from a source of stress into a source of inspiration.Key Episode Highlights:Leadership as Rhythm: Why syncing with your team is like a dance that requires constant connection and shared joy.The Trust Foundation: Addressing the critical statistics of organizational distrust and how transparency serves as the ultimate remedy.The "Hustle with Heart" Shift: Moving away from linear input-output thinking to recognize the complexity of human-centered work.Systemic Auditing: Using tools like root cause analysis to identify why talent leaves and where engagement drops.Mini Shifts for Big Impact: The power of making small, weekly adjustments to reinforce new, healthy leadership habits.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Impact of Feedback: When employees believe their feedback is actually used to make improvements, they are 37% less likely to look for a new job. Pew Research Center On average, engaged employees see a 20% individual performance improvement and an 87% reduction in the desire to leave. A 2024 research Survey with The Harris Poll found that managers play a critical role in moving employees from burned out and checked out to thriving. For employees who say they are thriving, the top indicator is a manager who is "invested in their success." Employee thriving is driven by three key drivers: Stephen Baer is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Engagency, a firm built on his core belief that human engagement is the engine of business performance. He leads a team of behavioral experts who help organizations build meaningful, measurable connections with their workforce and customers.

He previously co-founded and led The Game Agency, a learning and engagement company acquired by ELB Learning, and held sales and marketing leadership roles at Atari and General Electric, where he was a Six Sigma Black Belt Certified and a recipient of GE's Global Marketing Excellence Award.

In this episode of the Successful Stylist Academy Podcast, Ambrosia Carey shares key insights from a recent conversation with the Meta and the Instagram team about what is actually working on Instagram right now. This episode breaks down practical social media strategies specifically for hairstylists and salon owners who want to grow their audience, attract better clients, and create content that performs consistently without burnout. Ambrosia discusses the shift from hashtags to keywords, how consistency trains the algorithm, and why Reels and Stories serve very different purposes in your content strategy. She also explains how engagement velocity impacts reach, why trial reels are an underrated feature, and how using Instagram's native tools can improve performance. This episode is designed for hairstylists and salon owners who want clear, realistic guidance on building a sustainable Instagram presence while staying authentic to their voice and brand. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by social media or unsure what actually matters anymore, this conversation will help simplify your approach and give you a strategic path forward. Join the SSA LAB Membership now! https://small-kiwi-98108.myflodesk.com/gnfbcgfrjq Get 2 months of GlossGenius Gold or Platnium for FREE use code SUCCESSFUL Key Takeaways 1. Instagram is shifting toward prioritizing keywords over hashtags, which means hairstylists and salon owners should clearly describe their services and specialties in captions so the algorithm understands who to show their content to. 2. Consistency in posting helps train the Instagram algorithm to recognize your niche and audience, and a predictable posting rhythm often performs better than sporadic bursts of content. 3. Reels are essential for discoverability and attracting new clients, while Stories are better suited for nurturing relationships with the audience you already have. 4. Engagement velocity plays an important role in reach, and responding quickly to comments signals to the algorithm that your content is creating meaningful conversations. 5. Trial reels provide a valuable opportunity to test new content ideas and formats before sharing them with your full audience. 6. Using Instagram's native tools such as text overlays, captions, audio, and in-app editing features can improve both content quality and overall reach. 7. Carousel posts remain a powerful format because they retain viewer attention longer and allow stylists to communicate educational and high-value content more clearly. 8. Content performs best when it answers real questions and solves real problems for your audience rather than simply following trends. 9. Authenticity and clarity in messaging are more effective long-term strategies than chasing viral trends that do not align with your brand. 10. Regularly reviewing your content performance allows hairstylists and salon owners to refine their social media strategy and make better decisions about what to create next. Show Notes In this episode Ambrosia shares insights from a direct conversation with the Meta and Instagram team about how the platform is evolving and what hairstylists need to understand in order to stay relevant and visible. Listeners will learn why Instagram is becoming more keyword-driven, how posting consistency influences reach, and how stylists can simplify their content strategy without feeling overwhelmed. This conversation also covers the difference between Reels and Stories, the role of engagement and response time, and how using Instagram's built-in tools can improve results. This episode is especially helpful for hairstylists and salon owners who want to build a stronger online presence, attract ideal clients, and grow their business through intentional content creation.

In 2024, Senegal faced a severe constitutional and electoral crisis. The presidential vote was postponed, tensions escalated, and fears of democratic breakdown intensified. Yet democracy held. Why? In this episode of People Power Politics, Temitayo Odeyemi speaks with Catherine Lena Kelly and Ibrahima Fall and about their Journal of Democracy article, “Why Senegal's Democracy Survived.” They examine how the Constitutional Council asserted its independence under executive pressure, how civil society mobilised to defend constitutional norms, and how what they call democratic “muscle memory” shaped citizen response. The discussion situates Senegal's experience within a wider regional context of coups and democratic regression. What explains Senegal's divergence? Are its institutional safeguards transferable, or deeply context-specific? And what lessons does this case hold for democracies worldwide facing executive overreach? Catherine Lena Kelly is Director of Engagement at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies and author of Party Proliferation and Political Contestation in Africa: Senegal in Comparative Perspective (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020). Ibrahima Fall is Director of Studies at the School of International Commerce, Communications, and Business Techniques (ETICCA) in Dakar and a leading analyst of Senegalese governance and constitutional politics.

1,3 Millionen Menschen wohnen in Charkiw, das in Reichweite der russischen Artillerie liegt. Die Stadt überlebt vor allem durch das Engagement der Zivilgesellschaft und eine enge Verzahnung von Behörden und privaten NGOs. Der ukrainische Ansatz gilt als Modell weltweit. Als Russland vor vier Jahren versuchte, die Ukraine mit einem raschen Angriff zu überwältigen, drangen russische Truppen bis in die Stadt Charkiw vor und konnten erst nach heftigen Strassenkämpfen zurückgeschlagen werden. Von den rund 2 Millionen Einwohnern blieben zunächst nur 300 000 Zivilisten in der Stadt zurück. Inzwischen sind wieder 1,3 Millionen Menschen in Charkiw. Wie überlebt eine Millionenstadt in Frontnähe? Das ukrainische Rezept beruht auf einer engen Vernetzung von Behörden und Zivilgesellschaft. Zahlreiche NGOs übernehmen Aufgaben, die eigentlich staatlich sind. Das NGO «Relief Coordination Centre» beispielsweise organisiert die Evakuierung von Flüchtlingen und ihre Unterbringung in der Stadt. Es hat eine interaktive Karte der Region erstellt, die Auskunft über Bevölkerung, Infrastruktur, Nahrungsmittel gibt und eine zielgenaue Hilfe ermöglicht. In der Region Charkiw sind dreitausend private NGOs registriert, in der Ukraine sogar über zehntausend. Charkiw gilt als Vorbild für die Ukraine und die Ukraine als Modell weltweit. Experten sagen, der Ukrainekrieg habe nicht nur die Kriegsführung grundlegend verändert, sondern auch die Art der humanitären Hilfe.

Quand une personne perd son autonomie et devient dépendant, pour cause de vieillesse, de maladie ou encore de handicap, c'est souvent l'entourage qui prend le relais. Or, prendre soin d'un proche, peut avoir un retentissement sur sa propre santé : stress chronique, troubles du sommeil, épuisement... Comment faire pour prendre soin de soi lorsqu'on est aidant ? Comment vivre ce rôle le plus sereinement possible ? Qui peut aider l'aidant ? Les aidants- ces acteurs essentiels pour la santé- accompagnent, soutiennent et soignent leurs proches, qu'il s'agisse d'un parent atteint de démence, d'un enfant en situation de handicap, d'un compagnon pris en charge pour un cancer ou d'une sœur fragilisée par un trouble psychiatrique. Engagement fort et un risque d'épuisement Ils ou elles s'adaptent au rythme de la personne dépendante et au-delà des seules tâches liées à l'état de santé (la préparation des traitements, le suivi des consultations), les aidants peuvent aussi avoir de multiples fonctions dans la vie quotidienne : hygiène, ménage, courses, alimentation... Un engagement choisi ou subi qui, dans la plupart des cas, évolue avec le temps et l'état du patient… Manque de reconnaissance Comprendre le rôle des aidants, les multiples ressorts de leurs fonctions, c'est aussi s'arrêter sur les conséquences de cet engagement. Cette charge peut avoir un très fort retentissement en termes de fatigue physique et émotionnelle de l'aidant et il est important de mettre en place des dispositions pour prévenir le risque d'épuisement, qui peut fragiliser à son tour, sa santé : parler de sa situation avec les soignants, avec l'entourage et demander de l'aide, le cas échéant.

Als Russland vor vier Jahren versuchte, die Ukraine mit einem raschen Angriff zu überwältigen, drangen russische Truppen bis in die Stadt Charkiw vor und konnten erst nach heftigen Strassenkämpfen zurückgeschlagen werden. Von den rund 2 Millionen Einwohnern blieben zunächst nur 300 000 Zivilisten in der Stadt zurück. Inzwischen sind wieder 1,3 Millionen Menschen in Charkiw. Wie überlebt eine Millionenstadt in Frontnähe? Das ukrainische Rezept beruht auf einer engen Vernetzung von Behörden und Zivilgesellschaft. Zahlreiche NGOs übernehmen Aufgaben, die eigentlich staatlich sind. Das NGO «Relief Coordination Centre» beispielsweise organisiert die Evakuierung von Flüchtlingen und ihre Unterbringung in der Stadt. Es hat eine interaktive Karte der Region erstellt, die Auskunft über Bevölkerung, Infrastruktur, Nahrungsmittel gibt und eine zielgenaue Hilfe ermöglicht. In der Region Charkiw sind dreitausend private NGOs registriert, in der Ukraine sogar über zehntausend. Charkiw gilt als Vorbild für die Ukraine und die Ukraine als Modell weltweit. Experten sagen, der Ukrainekrieg habe nicht nur die Kriegsführung grundlegend verändert, sondern auch die Art der humanitären Hilfe.

Creating Engaged Employees and Loyal Customers Shep interviews Stephen Baer, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Engagency. He talks about his new book, Stickology, and how building strong emotional connections and engaging both employees and customers leads to lasting loyalty. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How does internal employee engagement influence external customer experience? Why is it important for organizations to go beyond surface-level personalization in delivering customer experiences? How can companies strike the right balance between friendly service and convenience to create lasting loyalty? How can organizations move from transactional interactions to building relationships with their customers? Why is it essential to invest in employee experience to drive customer satisfaction? Top Takeaways: Internal engagement is the foundation of strong customer loyalty. What happens inside your organization is always felt by your customers on the outside. If your employees are engaged, respected, and motivated, customers feel that in every interaction with your brand. When organizations invest in their people, the result is better service and stronger customer relationships because empowered employees have the confidence to go above and beyond for customers. Engagement isn't just good for workplace culture. It's good for business. Companies that focus on both employee and customer engagement see more revenue, higher employee and customer retention, and outpace their competitors. It's easy to form a connection, but lasting loyalty requires deeper engagement. Connections made quickly can fall apart just as fast if the next interactions are inconsistent. Genuine engagement takes time and is operationalized so it ingrained in the culture and felt in every interaction. Personalization by itself, even when powered by advanced technology, is not enough to build lasting loyalty. Relying on algorithms alone will expose a brand to being outgrown by its customers or out-innovated by its competitors. Customers stick with brands that make them feel emotionally connected and valued. Human elements, not just algorithms, are what creates long-term fans. Convenience is no longer a unique advantage. It is an expectation. Today's customers want easy, seamless interactions everywhere they shop. To stand out, businesses need to pair convenience with authentic, memorable service. Customers are going to talk about their experience with a company. When employees are engaged, they create advocates, customers who often spend more, and are more likely to recommend the business to others. Plus, Stephen shares more insights from his book, Stickology: How to Build Unbreakable Connections with Employees and Customers for Life. Tune in! Quote: "It's not just about connecting. It's about building a relationship. It's about making that person feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered, whether they are a customer or an employee. It takes time, but the bond holds together stronger." About: Stephen Baer is the author of Stickology: How to Build Unbreakable Connections with Employees and Customers for Life, and the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Engagency. He has 30 years of experience in behavioral science and engagement from leadership roles at companies such as The Game Agency, Atari, and GE.

For people living with osteoarthritis, news about potential new treatments often comes with more questions than answers. In this episode of The Health Advocates, we slow things down to explain what it really means when a company submits a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Steven Newmark is joined by Erich Horsley and Dr. Yusuf Yazici from Biosplice Therapeutics to walk through this important regulatory milestone and why it matters for patients. Together, they break down what an NDA is, what happens during FDA review, and what patients should and should not expect while a therapy is under evaluation. The conversation also explores the current osteoarthritis treatment landscape, why progress in this disease has been so challenging, and what researchers mean when they talk about disease-modifying approaches.

Episode 106: Why Welcoming Everyone Gets Complicated with Garland FullerWhat this episode is about:What does it actually take to build a space where people feel like they belong? Garland Fuller — culture consultant and founder of Third Space Academy — has made it her life's work to answer that question.

Mastering the Shift from Micromanagement to Empowerment with Stefan FeuersteinIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Stefan Feuerstein, the founder of ABC Delegation and author of the framework by the same name. Their conversation dives deep into the psychological and structural barriers that prevent leaders from effectively letting go of control. Stefan shares how his methodology helps managers move beyond the "abdication vs. micromanagement" trap, offering a clear system to foster genuine employee engagement and organizational scalability. This episode is an essential guide for any leader feeling overwhelmed by their to-do list and looking to build a high-performing, autonomous team.Implementing the ABC Framework for Scalable LeadershipEffective delegation is not about offloading tasks; it is about the strategic transfer of authority and ownership within a defined structure. Stefan explains that most leaders fail because they lack a "Mission Frame"—the clear boundaries that define a team member's area of impact—and a "Mandate Frame," which outlines their specific level of authority. By co-creating these frames, leaders provide the psychological safety necessary for employees to take risks and innovate. Without this clarity, employees often default to "learned helplessness," waiting for permission for every minor decision, which eventually leads to founder burnout and team stagnation.To solve this, Stefan's framework categorizes every responsibility into three distinct levels of autonomy: A, B, and C. Level A tasks are those the team member can execute entirely on their own; Level B requires the team member to act but keep the manager informed; and Level C requires explicit consent before any action is taken. This system allows for a dynamic growth path where tasks can migrate from C to A as trust and competence increase. By making these levels explicit, leaders eliminate the ambiguity that causes friction and delays, allowing the manager to focus on high-level strategy while the team manages the day-to-day operations with confidence.Building a culture of empowerment also requires a shift in how leaders approach follow-up and support. Stefan emphasizes that delegation is a mutual commitment: while the team member commits to ownership, the manager must commit to supportive check-ins and conflict resolution. Instead of checking up on people to catch mistakes, the "ABC Check-In" focuses on reviewing Level B and C tasks while consistently recognizing successes. This structured approach ensures that the manager stays connected to the pulse of the business without suffocating the team's creative process. Ultimately, mastering this skill transforms a group of individual contributors into a cohesive, self-leading organization.About Stefan Feuerstein:Stefan Feuerstein is the founder of ABC Delegation and an expert in organizational change and leadership development. He is the author of ABC Delegation, a book dedicated to helping managers overcome the hurdles of micromanagement to build more engaged and productive teams.About ABC DelegationABC Delegation is a consultancy and training organization that provides frameworks for effective team management.

In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, John Highley breaks down a major shift happening in social media marketing — and why most technicians are focused on the wrong metric. After recently crossing 8 million total views in just over 130 days of consistent posting, John explains: Why followers matter less than ever How algorithms now serve content based on behavior, not who someone follows Why views are the new currency How friction in platform design reduced follow growth The psychology behind engagement and swipe behavior Why local tagging and geo-positioning matter more than you think This episode dives into the evolution of social media: Platforms now track: Watch time Scroll speed Hover time Click behavior Location tagging Engagement patterns And that means the playing field is leveling. You no longer need a million followers to dominate your market. You need: Strong positioning Relevant content Clear local targeting Consistency John also shares real-world results, including how a single reel brought back a previously hesitant customer for a $1,500 job — simply because the content resonated. If you're serious about using social media to attract pre-qualified clients instead of chasing vanity metrics, this episode is required listening. The mission isn't followers. The mission is positioning. And positioning wins.

Episode #370 – Why "Just Be Consistent" Isn't an Email Strategy Anymore "Just be consistent" is one of the most common pieces of email marketing advice - and in 2026, it can quietly become a trap when it's misunderstood. For years, consistency meant momentum, visibility, and growth. But today, many founders are stuck sending emails out of obligation instead of intention - and that pressure often leads to weaker engagement, burnout, and unpredictable results. In this episode, I break down the difference between mechanical consistency (sending just to maintain a schedule) and strategic consistency (building predictable trust without adding noise to the inbox). Instead of chasing weekly streaks, I'll walk you through the real shift happening in modern email marketing - where success is driven by signals, not schedules. You'll learn: Why "send every week" can backfire when applied without strategy The difference between mechanical consistency and strategic consistency How forced frequency creates repetitive messaging and weaker engagement signals The four key signals that should determine your email cadence today: Audience readiness Message strength Lifecycle infrastructure Engagement stability How mature brands maintain presence without burning out their list — or themselves Strategic consistency isn't about never skipping a send. It's about showing up in ways that build trust, maintain deliverability, and support long-term revenue growth. Work with Joy Joya: https://joyjoya.com
