Podcasts about Engagement

In this conversation, career ownership coach Maja Taylor shares powerful insights on what it truly means to take control of your professional future. She talks about helping leaders and professionals explore new career paths, including entrepreneurship, so they can maximize their potential and build careers that fully align with their goals and values. Maja encourages listeners to regularly review their career direction, consider alternative income streams and stay open to possibilities that may lead to greater fulfillment and independence. Employee Engagement and the Need for Better Guidance Michael discusses the growing disconnect many employees feel in today's workplace and highlights how small businesses and leaders can play a pivotal role in guiding their teams toward greater engagement and clarity. He emphasizes the value of career exploration and meaningful conversations that help individuals uncover interests, strengths and untapped potential. Michael also shares personal stories about stepping into new roles without a perfect plan and learning through adaptability, curiosity and experience. Navigating Burnout and Workplace Uncertainty Maja speaks candidly about the rising rates of burnout she sees among clients, driven by layoffs, constant change and market instability. She explains how her coaching practice supports individuals during these challenging transitions by helping them rediscover confidence, purpose and possibility. Maja also reflects on her own journey from science to HR to leadership coaching, revealing how each chapter deepened her passion for helping others achieve greater self sufficiency and work life balance. Corporate Experience as a Launchpad for Entrepreneurship Michael reminds listeners that entrepreneurship is rarely about starting from zero. Skills gained in corporate environments, from operational insight to relationship building, can become powerful assets when launching a business. He encourages people to recognize the value of their existing expertise and leverage it instead of discounting it. Career Coaching for the Shift Into Business Ownership Maja outlines her approach to coaching professionals who are evaluating entrepreneurship, especially those who feel drained by corporate roles or stuck in burnout cycles. She uses assessments to help clients recognize their strengths and potential, and stresses the importance of being open minded as they explore ownership opportunities. Michael adds that many people underestimate their abilities due to work environments that suppress creativity and curiosity. Curiosity as a Catalyst for Breakthroughs Michael shares a personal story about taking a personality assessment with his former CEO and discovering they shared the same profile. The experience reminded him that curiosity is a powerful driver of self awareness and growth. He encourages listeners to lean into curiosity as a tool for breakthroughs, career shifts and life changing clarity. Goal Setting, Reflection and a Free DISC Assessment Maja talks about the impact of written goals, noting that only a small percentage of people write down their goals, yet nearly all who do achieve them. She offers a complimentary executive DISC assessment to help listeners better understand their personality patterns and career strengths. Michael encourages everyone to take advantage of the offer and reminds listeners that Maja's contact information and social links are included in the show notes below.   Maja Taylor is a Career Ownership Coach with The Entrepreneur's Source, where she guides people who are ready to step outside the traditional job market and into new possibilities.

Wertschätzung zu erhalten, erfreut uns. Wir erleben uns gesehen und geschätzt mit dem, was uns eigen ist – einem Engagement, einer Fähigkeit oder auch einer Intention. So stiftet Wertschätzung Beziehung. Aber was ist das Wesen der Wertschätzung? Wozu ist sie wichtig? Wie kann sie zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, ohne in nichtssagenden Floskeln zu enden? Schließt sie auch Kritik ein? Und wie sollte diese geäußert werden, so dass sie angenommen werden kann? Schlussendlich ist Wertschätzung eine Haltung, dem Menschen und der Welt mit Respekt und Achtung zu begegnen – etwas, das unserer Zeit mehr denn je gut täte.

1 / 4 MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 31st Publish Date: December 31st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, December 31st and Happy Birthday to Donna Summer I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 1. ‘Bittersweet’ goodbye: Marietta school board says farewell to three colleagues 2. New Cobb Young Republicans Chair looks to affordability, voter engagement 3. Cumberland CID details big projects, future plans All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 1 STORY 1: ‘Bittersweet’ goodbye: Marietta school board says farewell to three colleagues The final meeting of the year for the Marietta Board of Education was a bittersweet one, full of hugs, tears, and heartfelt goodbyes as three longtime members—A.B. Almy, Kerry Minervini, and Jason Waters—stepped down. During the meeting, emotions ran high. Vice Chair Jaillene Hunter praised Almy for her relentless push for academic excellence. Angela Orange called Minervini “a woman who gives a million percent,” while Irene Berens, tearing up, described Waters as “an exceptional man and a dear friend.” Waters, who’s moving on to the Marietta City Council, called the moment “surreal.” Minervini, meanwhile, joked about finding a new hobby, and Almy expressed gratitude for her time on the board. The night ended with a video tribute, glass plaques, and a reminder of the board’s legacy: being named Georgia’s 2025 School Board of the Year. STORY 2: New Cobb Young Republicans Chair looks to affordability, voter engagement At just 25, Andre Stafford is stepping up as the new chairman of the Cobb Young Republicans, ready to shake things up. “I’m all in,” he says, a mantra that’s driven him since he first got involved in politics after the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump—a moment that, for him, changed everything. Stafford, a restaurant manager by day, wants to grow the group, boost voter turnout, and focus on issues like affordability. “The American Dream feels like a fairy tale to my generation,” he says. “We need more homeowners, less paycheck-to-paycheck living.” His goal? Turn Cobb red—and keep it that way. STORY 3: Cumberland CID details big projects, future plans 2 / 4 Big things are happening in Cumberland, and Kim Menefee, the CID’s executive director, couldn’t be prouder. “2025 was our best year yet,” she told lawmakers at a recent meeting. One highlight? The first phase of the New Day Palisades project at Paces Mill Park. With $6.3 million in upgrades—like better parking, trail access, and erosion control—it’s already drawing millions of visitors. Phase 2 kicks off in 2026, with a $9.5 million price tag and plans for a visitor center and river overlooks. Oh, and driverless shuttles? Coming in 2027. Free rides connecting The Battery, Truist Park, and more. Cumberland’s future? Bold. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: Cobb Superior Court Clerk asks judge to dismiss charges against her Lawyers for Cobb Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor are fighting to get her case dismissed before it even reaches trial. Meanwhile, prosecutors are busy filing motions over what evidence can and can’t be shown in court. Taylor, elected in 2020, faces four felony charges tied to allegations she mishandled passport fee records—pocketing over $425,000 in fees during her first two years in office. Things escalated when a whistleblower claimed Taylor ordered records destroyed, reportedly saying, “We’re just going to Donald Trump this thing.” Taylor denies wrongdoing, but if convicted, she’ll lose her job permanently. A hearing is set for Feb. 5. STORY 5: Marietta residents call for increased safety measures after crash on train tracks Residents are sounding the alarm after a truck barreled off the road and crashed near the train tracks at Kennesaw Avenue and Church Street last week. Melissa Korczyk, out for a walk with her toddler and dog, heard the screech of tires just before 10 a.m. “I look up, and this car is flying down Kennesaw Avenue,” she said. “It hit the tracks, went airborne, and slammed into the pedestrian signal.” The driver, who also hit a light post and tree, escaped with minor injuries and was charged with reckless driving. “It’s scary,” Korczyk said. “That intersection feels like an accident waiting to happen.” Break: 3 / 4 STORY 6: Marietta celebrates legacy of service as three council members retire The Marietta Fire Museum was full of laughter, hugs, and a few teary eyes last week as friends, family, and city staff gathered to honor retiring council members Andy Morris, Grif Chalfant, and Johnny Walker. “You’ve left a footprint on this city that just keeps getting better,” said Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin, summing up the mood of the night. Chalfant, who’s been on the council since 2005, joked about finally tackling 20 years of neglected home projects—and maybe fixing up his Triumph TR3. Morris, a lifelong Marietta resident, said he’s ready to relax with his new dog, Harry. “I might even pick up golf again,” he added. Walker, proud of his work on school traffic safety, plans to focus on real estate, photography, and more time at home. Each was presented with a Distinguished Service Award, a fitting send-off for years of dedication. STORY 7: Baby clothes program helps mothers in need year-round For nearly two decades, Rosemary Buckley has quietly made life a little easier for new moms in need. Every month, she gathers bundles of baby clothes—layettes—and delivers them to Wellstar Kennestone, where they’re given to families who could use a little extra help. “It’s not just store-bought stuff,” Buckley says. “Parishioners make blankets, tiny hats, even mittens. It’s beautiful.” Inspired by her 12 grandchildren and a simple church request back in 2007, Buckley has turned this into her mission. Monsignor John Walsh calls her a “woman of action.” She just calls it “something that needs to be done.” We’ll have closing comments after this.

Send us a MessageIn this episode of Culture Change RX, I discuss the importance of setting challenging goals within organizations. Soft goals do not lead to significant improvements and that setting hard goals can spark creativity, increase engagement, and surface underlying issues that need to be addressed. By aiming for ambitious targets, organizations can achieve more in less time and foster a culture of motivation and collaboration. I encourage you to embrace the challenge of setting big goals for the upcoming year, particularly in the healthcare sector, where the stakes are high.Key Takeaways“Soft (easy) goals,” leading to slow incremental improvement or growth, just don't serve us.“Less is more” when it comes to the quantity of goals, this allows for each goal to be more challenging.Setting hard goals sparks creativity.We can't ignore certain challenges any longer if they interfere with achieving a big goal.High engagement is prompted by a big goal that requires an “all in effort” to win.Difficult goals lead to making more progress in less time.We should win at providing safe and satisfying care and creating a best-place-to-work organization.We're stepping forward in a bigger way—growing our team of rural healthcare experts, growing our capabilities by adding a strategic planning division … all of this so we can expand our ability to help even more rural hospitals and other small healthcare organizations in 2026. … We'd love to explore how we can support your organization in being the provider- and employer-of-choice so you can keep care local and margins strong!

What I've learned is this: culture is not a soft thing. It's the hardest thing, and it determines everything.When you're ready to take your culture to the next level, here are three ways I can help you:1.

High performers are often seen as the ones you don't have to worry about. But behind consistent output and quiet competence, there can be early signs of burnout and disengagement. In this episode, Melanie Naranjo joins Karina Young to challenge how companies define top talent and why performance without support leads to retention risk. Melanie, Chief People Officer at Ethena, shares a candid perspective on why high performers need more than praise. They need space to grow, permission to speak up, and help rewiring habits that no longer serve them. Together, they explore how over-reliance on top talent can backfire, why traditional engagement strategies often miss the mark, and what managers can do to spot red flags before it's too late. Melanie also offers clear strategies for re-engaging high performers and building a culture where expectations, accountability, and care go hand in hand. For HR leaders working to retain their best people, it's a compelling reminder: performance doesn't mean immunity. It means opportunity. Join us as we discuss: (00:00) Meet HR Superstar: Melanie Naranjo (01:14) The hidden costs of quiet disengagement (03:28) Rethinking what "high performer" really means (06:26) Debunking the myth of passion and performance (10:19) Building flexible perks that actually engage people (12:58) Early signs your top talent is burning out (15:19) Questions managers should ask but usually don't (20:03) How to coach overwhelmed team members (22:30) Why surveys won't help you retain your best people (24:17) High performers suffer when underperformers go unchecked (31:19) Re-engaging talent through targeted development plans (35:25) What to do when a high performer is a jerk (38:23) Questions every manager should ask top talent   Resources: For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, or tune in on our website.

Steve Martin: When a Distributed Team's Energy Vanishes into the Virtual Void Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "They weren't a team, they were a group of individuals working on multiple different projects." - Vasco Duarte (describing Steve's team situation)   The infrastructure team looked promising on paper: Product Owner in Italy, hardware engineers in Budapest, software engineers in Bucharest, designers in the UK. The team started with energy and enthusiasm, but within a month, something shifted. People stopped showing up for daily stand-ups. Cameras went dark during meetings. Engagement in retrospectives withered. This wasn't just about being distributed—plenty of teams work across time zones successfully. The problem ran deeper. The Scrum Master had a conflict of interest, serving dual roles as both facilitator and engineer. Team members were simultaneously juggling three or four other projects, treating this work as just another item on an impossibly long list. Steve spent a couple of months watching the deterioration before recognizing the root cause: there was no leadership sponsorship or buy-in. Stakeholders weren't invested. The team wasn't actually a team—they were individuals happening to work on the same project. Steve considers this a failure because he couldn't solve it. Sometimes, the absence of organizational support creates an unsolvable puzzle. Without leadership commitment, even the most skilled Scrum Master can't manufacture the conditions for team success.   In this episode, we refer to The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim, a book about organizational culture disguised as a DevOps novel.   Self-reflection Question: Is your team truly dedicated to one mission, or are they a collection of individuals spread across competing priorities? Featured Book of the Week: The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim "There's a lot of good lightning bulb moments that go off." - Steve Martin   Steve describes The Phoenix Project as a book about culture, not just DevOps. Written like a novel following a mock company, it creates continuous light bulb moments for readers. The book resonated deeply with Steve because it exposed patterns he'd experienced firsthand—particularly the anti-pattern of single points of failure. Steve had worked with an engineer who would spend entire weekends doing releases, holding everything in his head, then burning out and taking three days off to recover. This engineer was the bottleneck, the single point of failure that put the entire system at risk. The Phoenix Project illuminates how knowledge hoarding and dependency on individuals creates organizational fragility. The solution isn't just technical—it's cultural. Teams need to share knowledge and understanding, deliberately de-risking the concentration of expertise in one person's mind. Steve recommends this book for anyone trying to understand why organizational transformation requires more than process changes—it demands a fundamental shift in how teams think about knowledge, risk, and collaboration.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

The final week of December is one of the most powerful—and overlooked—times to show up on LinkedIn. In this special bonus episode of the Rich Woman Reset series, Karen Yankovich shares five simple LinkedIn posts you can write before January 1 to boost visibility, confidence, and authority as you step into 2026.

One of the biggest challenges podcasters face is turning their passive listeners into engaged followers. That is because the nature of podcasting allows listeners to “lurk in the shadows,” so to speak, and get their value by listening without ever needing to engage with your content. So how do we change that? This week, episode 27 of Successful Podcasting Unlocked answers the question: How can I move my listeners to other platforms?In this episode, I share:Understand WHY you want your listeners to move and WHERE you want them to move to. Clearly explain the value listeners will get elsewhere to encourage them to engage with you on other platforms. Give clear directions for your one call-to-action that moves listeners from passive listening to active engagement. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips, tricks, and advice as I answer all your podcasting questions.

In my conversation with J.R. Briggs the author of The Art of Asking Better Questions:Pursuing Stronger Relationships, Healthier Leadership, and Deeper Faith. J.R. discusses the transformative power of asking better questions and how they can lead to deeper relationships, personal growth, and a more integrated life. He emphasizes the importance of hospitality, curiosity, and the role of questions in fostering community and connection. Through personal anecdotes and insights, J.R. illustrates how living with arrows pointing out—focusing on others—can create a more fulfilling and joyful existence. He also explores the neuroscience behind questions, the four levels of questioning, and how Jesus exemplified the art of inquiry in his ministry. Dr. J.R. Briggs is the founder of Kairos Partnerships, a coaching and consulting firm dedicated to equipping leaders through the intersection of spiritual formation and actionable leadership. An author of 15 books and host of the Resilient Leaders podcast, he also serves as a university instructor and denominational director.  Takeaways Asking better questions can lead to deeper relationships. Hospitality is a healing practice that benefits both the host and the guest. Living with arrows pointing out encourages selflessness and community engagement. Curiosity is essential for personal growth and understanding others. Questions can transform conversations and create connections. The four levels of questions help deepen interactions and understanding. Jesus modeled the importance of asking questions in his ministry. Celebration and joy are vital components of community and relationships. Living an integrated life requires awareness of our masks and vulnerabilities. Depth in conversations is more valuable than efficiency. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background of J.R.

Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League after a 2–1 win over Brighton, but the performance once again raises familiar questions. The Gunners dominate large spells at the Emirates — racking up 2.8 xG, 24 shots and total territorial control — only to let the game drift into nervous territory late on, with David Raya forced into a crucial save to preserve the win.We break down a first half that should have put the game out of sight, including missed chances for Bukayo Saka and ongoing concerns around Arsenal's finishing. Martin Ødegaard scores his first goal of the season in trademark fashion, while Declan Rice adapts to an unfamiliar role and Arsenal's structure continues to generate chances without the ruthless edge to kill games.The second half sees a worrying 15-minute spell where Arsenal retreat, stop engaging high up the pitch, and invite Brighton back into the contest. We discuss Raya's intervention, the defensive adjustments that followed, and whether this “control then retreat” pattern is becoming a recurring issue.There's also frustration with refereeing decisions, including a controversial challenge on the goalkeeper and VAR inconsistencies across the weekend. We cover all the major talking points from Gameweek 17 in Whip Around the Grounds, with results from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and more.In VARse, we analyse key officiating decisions from Old Trafford, the City Ground and Stamford Bridge, ranking what was contentious, what was ridiculous, and where the laws continue to be applied inconsistently.Finally, we look ahead to Arsenal vs Aston Villa. With Villa winning games while being outshot and outperforming their xG, and Arsenal struggling to convert dominance into comfort, we assess the tactical battle, injury concerns, likely line-ups, and what Mikel Arteta must get right this time around.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:40) – #ARSBHA Pre-Match, Injuries & the Return of Big Gabi(03:18) – Starting XI: Rice at Right Back?(04:52) – Stats, Arsenal Domination & Missed Early Chances(07:45) – Saka Shooting Volume vs End Product(12:12) – Ødegaard's First Goal of the Season(15:32) – Chances, xG and Why This Game Should've Been Dead(18:18) – Referee & Goalkeeper Challenge Controversy(21:42) – Second-Half Control & Set-Piece Pressure(24:42) – Brighton Goal: Freak Moment or Structural Issue?(27:26) – Fifteen-Minute Retreat & Loss of Engagement(28:06) – Raya's Match-Saving Intervention(30:02) – Martinelli's Impact, Late Chances & Full-Time Reflection(34:34) – Big Takeaways from the Brighton Win(38:37) – PT.2: Who Am I?

Is there a time and a place for command and control leadership Absolutely. But what happens when the leaders we promote for their crisis-management skills start treating every single day like an emergency? In this fascinating episode from the archive, Andy Lopata is joined by neuropsychologist and leadership expert Heather Wright to dissect the critical difference between a "crisis leader" and a "daily leader." Drawing on her extensive work with organisations from Coca-Cola to the emergency services, Heather reveals the neurological reasons why top-down authority fails in day-to-day operations, crushing creativity and engagement. This is a deep dive into the science of trust, the leader's own ego, and the emotional habits that dictate our management style. Discover why the most important leadership work you can do is on yourself, and learn how to build a team that will follow you in a crisis because they trust you every other day of the year. Key Takeaways  What is the critical difference between a crisis leader and a daily leader (and why are most organisations promoting the wrong one)? Why is your leadership style not a conscious choice, but a deeply ingrained "emotional habit" (and how can you rewire it)? What are the "rules of engagement" every team must agree on before a conflict arises to ensure trust is maintained? Is your "need to be needed" as a leader secretly preventing your team from taking ownership and growing? What is the psychological trap that makes leaders focus on proving an employee is "wrong" instead of actually changing their behavior? Actionable Insights Lead Yourself First, Then Your Team: Before you can effectively lead others, you must understand yourself. Define your core values, recognise your emotional habits and ego-driven triggers, and get clear on the legacy you want to leave. True leadership starts with personal performance. Establish "Rules of Engagement" in Peacetime: Don't wait for a conflict to figure out how to handle it. Proactively sit down with your team and agree on how you will communicate, give feedback, and handle disagreements. Discussing this when things are calm builds the trust needed to navigate future challenges. Reframe Difficult Conversations Around Solutions: When addressing poor performance, shift your focus from pointing out what's wrong to clarifying what you want instead. Ask yourself: "Could I change this person's behaviour without them ever knowing they were wrong in the first place?" This moves the conversation from accusation to a collaborative focus on future success.

Join us for an insightful conversation on the critical state of workplace culture and talent retention with Sean D'Arcy, Chief Solutions Officer at Kahoot!. Based on their latest research, we explore a startling paradox: many leaders are burned out, and nearly half would give up their title to feel engaged at work. This lack of manager engagement creates a difficult environment for the newest generation, with almost two-thirds of managers finding Gen Z to be the hardest group to engage. Sean D'Arcy dives deep into the findings on both leader burnout and Gen Z's unique needs, covering generational tensions and the path forward. He discusses how to leverage tools and strategies, including game-based learning, to inject fun, social connection, and psychological safety back into the workplace, turning meetings into interactive discussions and fostering a culture where all employees can thrive. Three Key Takeaways for Workplace Culture and Talent Retention The Engagement Crisis Starts at the Top: Nearly half of leaders would trade their title just to feel more engaged at work, with a third admitting to feeling burned out. This disengagement at the leadership level makes it difficult to effectively engage and retain employees, highlighting a lack of investment in the training and tools managers need to succeed. Gen Z Needs Foundational Skills and Belonging: Gen Z is the most difficult generation to engage, with two-thirds of managers citing them as the hardest group to motivate. They often feel "out of their depth" regarding basic workplace operating systems (like email etiquette and meeting facilitation) and crave more structured, gamified learning and real-time feedback that mimics their prior educational experiences. Furthermore, they value strong relationships and a sense of belonging/psychological safety, which is essential for talent retention. Interactive Learning and Culture Building are the Solution: A key strategy for improving workplace culture and talent retention is integrating interactive, gamified tools to facilitate social connection and effective communication. By turning one-way presentations into engaging discussions, companies can break the ice, democratize participation, and gather real-time analytics to understand where employees need more support. This shift supports the inclusive, feedback-driven culture that Gen Z, in particular, expects. Get the full report at: https://kahoot.com/business/workplace-engagement-report-2025/

 A year-end recap is more than a highlight reel—it's a practical reset. In this New Year episode, Trace Blackmore walks through 2025 using a "12 Days of the Scaling Up Nation" format, tying together performance, community growth, listener engagement, and the sponsor support that keeps the podcast and its companion tools available at no cost.   Year-end by the numbers   Trace explains how he used to track every stat closely—and how that shifted into an unhealthy measure of self-worth—so the team now uses numbers as feedback, not validation. He notes the show released 56 brand-new episodes in 2025 (including the additional releases during Industrial Water Week) and explains why the data still matters: it helps confirm what the community is using, such as discussion guides and other tools, and what needs to be improved.  Most-downloaded episodes and what listeners leaned into  Trace shares the three most-downloaded episodes of 2025:  Episode 405 — cooling water innovation using treated wastewater  Episode 418 — maleic acid (with Mike Standish)  Episode 424 — chlorine dioxide (the most downloaded episode of the year)  Engagement that keeps learning moving  The episode highlights growth in the Scaling Up Nation across newsletter subscriptions, discussion guide downloads, and an expanding LinkedIn community.   Recognition, partners, and momentum into 2026  Trace acknowledges milestones including AWT naming Scaling Up H2O the official podcast of the Association of Water Technologies, and he thanks the sponsors who make the podcast's free content possible—19 sponsoring partners in 2025. The episode closes with a direct invitation for listeners to share what they want to learn next, who they want interviewed, and what stories could help the industry keep "raising the bar."  Listen to the full conversation above.

In this episode, I'm answering some of the most common questions I get — the ones that sit quietly in the back of your mind but shape how you move through life.We're talking about how to stop feeling behind when you're actually doing everything “right,” how to romanticize work without turning productivity into pressure, and what it really looks like to grow a podcast from a place of purpose instead of comparison. I'm also opening up about entering my engaged era — the mindset shifts, identity changes, and lessons I'm learning in this new season of life.Plus, we're having an honest conversation about letting go of friendships that no longer serve you, and how to release relationships with grace, maturity, and self-respect.If you've been feeling stuck between who you were and who you're becoming, this episode is a reminder that you're not behind — you're evolving.

In the "wisdom economy," ideas aren't the bottleneck. Engagement is. In Get Yourself Optimized, I sit down with Matt Church (Sydney-based leadership thinker, creator of the Pink Sheet Process, author of Rise Up: An Evolution in Leadership) to unpack a practical framework for turning messy thinking into clear, high-impact communication. A few highlights: "Someone's attention is the currency, not my ideas." Why the best leaders charge for experiences, not ideas How one Pink Sheet can become a book, short video, or social post—without starting from scratch If you lead teams, sell expertise, or build a personal brand, this episode is a direct hit. Listen to Episode 545 and then do one thing: try a Pink Sheet today. The show notes, including the transcript and checklist to this episode, are at getyourselfoptimized.com/545.

Pour les vacances d'hiver, je vous propose de (re)découvrir quelques épisodes passés de Demain N'attend Pas que j'ai tout particulièrement aimé. Cette semaine découvrez une discussion avec l'extraordinaire MARIE ROBERT, philosophe, autrice et fondatrice d'école MontessoriJe vous souhaite de très belles fêtes de fin d'année.Il y a des personnes qui font du bien.Par leur pleine présence, leur intelligence, leur générosité, leur bon sens ... les mots qu'ils disent ou qu'ils écrivent raisonnent en nous profondément et longtemps ! Marie Robert fait parti de ces personnes. Vous la suivez peut-être sur les réseaux. Elle nous offre tous les matins un billet doux, qui pose une réflexion sur la société, une intention ou un souhait. J'attends cette lecture. Elle a parfois fait bouger ma façon d'être au monde.  Alors, aujourd'hui, je suis très heureuse de partager avec vous ma discussion avec Marie Robert. Cette conversation raisonnera longtemps à mes oreilles. Je vous encourage vraiment à l'écouter jusqu'au bout. On y évoque beaucoup de sujets : on parle éducation bien sur, puisque Marie dirige un groupe d'écoles, on discute de la façon de trouver notre juste place et de tisser des liens durables, on s'arrête sur l'action, l'engagement et le désir de réparer le monde, par les petits gestes comme par les grands, chacun à son niveau, avec humilité, comme un remède à l'anxiété et une façon de ne pas céder au découragement.  Ensemble, on s'interroge : la douceur est-elle un acte révolutionnaire ? Nos outils n'ont jamais été aussi efficaces, mais loin de nous avoir libérés, cette efficacité a augmenté les attentes et la charge. Emails, WhatsApp, texto, messages sur LinkedIn, sur Instagram, sur X… il nous faut répondre à tout et à tous, de façon instantanée. La technologie a décloisonné nos vies professionnelles et personnelles, et la même exigence s'impose partout dans un flux informationnel incessant. Nos gestes professionnels sont optimisés et nos loisirs se doivent d'être performants.A force de courir et de manquer de temps, nous agissons de façon transactionnelle, au travail comme en amitié, au détriment de nos liens affectifs. Et nous ressentons une grande fatigue. Quel espace nous reste-t-il pour penser ? Pour être présent pour ceux que nous aimons ? Pour nous reconnecter à nos désirs et nos envies ?  Marie a beaucoup réfléchi à la façon dont ce nouveau rapport au temps transforme radicalement nos liens. Elle appelle à remettre du sens, de l'intention et de la conscience dans nos métiers et dans le quotidien de nos vies.  Cette conversation m'a beaucoup émue.  Si l'épisode vous plait, n'hésitez pas à le faire passer autour de vous. Et pour poursuivre le plaisir, plongez-vous dans le livre de Marie “Le miracle du réconfort" et suivez-la sur les réseaux pour vous lover dans ses écris quotidiens.
