It promises fewer parts, lower costs, and faster assembly. But Jan Griffiths asks a bigger question: if automakers can reinvent the product, why not reinvent the way business gets done?That's where Kate Vitasek comes in. As the creator of the Vested Methodology, Kate has spent more than 20 years studying how companies negotiate. She joins Jan to unpack how the old “win at all costs” mindset still lingers in the industry and why it's holding leaders back.Kate walks through the history: the 80s and 90s were all about leverage and power. The 90s brought interest-based bargaining, which used data instead of bravado. More recently, companies are experimenting with collaboration, where both sides actually work together to solve problems and create value.But change doesn't come easy. Short-term wins might seem like progress, but they often backfire. Kate describes this as “shading,” when the other side feels mistreated and resists or retaliates. She uses examples from union negotiations, supplier relationships, and even global trade disputes to show how this cycle keeps repeating.Collaboration offers a different path. Instead of focusing only on price or concessions, it creates agreements that match intent with execution, protect both parties, and provide space for innovation.Kate explains how her Vested framework turns adversarial supplier or union relationships into productive, long-term partnerships built on trust and results. Still, consistency is key: you can't have one division trying to collaborate while another sticks to power plays.Jan ties this back to leadership. Command-and-control might have worked decades ago, but it doesn't inspire people now. Negotiation that depends on control and bravado is outdated in the face of current challenges. Leaders who show up with openness, clarity, and a willingness to co-create solutions will succeed.And the advice for leaders listening? Start small. You don't need to change everything overnight. Pilot a collaborative negotiation on one deal, measure the results, and use that success to expand the approach. Themes discussed in this episode:The shift from power-based negotiation to collaborative partnerships in the automotive industryThe evolution of negotiation models from the 1980s to today's business environmentThe role of trust, transparency, and shared outcomes in strengthening supplier relationshipsWhy authentic leadership aligns with collaboration better than command-and-control managementHow adversarial union negotiations can transform into long-term, cooperative agreementsThe connection between cultural consistency and successful collaborative business modelsWhy outdated power tactics undermine innovation and efficiency in global supply chainsHow the Vested Methodology creates sustainable value for both buyers and suppliersFeatured guest: Kate VisatekWhat she does: Kate is a recognized authority on strategic partnerships and the creator of the Vested® business model, a framework that helps organizations move from “what's in it for me” to “what's in it for we.” An accomplished author of seven books and a faculty member at the University of Tennessee, she combines award-winning research with real-world...

Breathing is more than the diaphragm — fascia, movement, and the whole body collaborate in every breath you take.In this episode of the Myofascial Magic in Action Podcast, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore the deeper story of breathing. Is the diaphragm really the primary muscle of breath, or is it part of a much larger system involving fascia, ribs, viscera, feet, and movement itself?Together we look at:Why breathing is both instinctive and influenced by environmentThe diaphragm as fascia-infused architecture, not just muscleDissection insights that challenge common breathing mythsThe role of the psoas, ribcage, and pericardium in breathHow rotation, walking, and subtle micro-movements influence breathingTrauma, breath holding, and the memory stored in tissueWhy receiving the breath can shift body, mind, and wellbeingBreath shapes more than oxygen exchange — it informs posture, relaxation, performance, and even emotional resilience.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Andrea Kihlstedt sits down with Graeme Watt, co-owner of Anthem Creative, to explore how nonprofit leaders can sharpen their storytelling to strengthen donor engagement and drive campaign results.Graeme shares his journey from founding a grassroots youth nonprofit in his living room to leading large-scale digital storytelling efforts with organizations like World Vision. His experience on both sides of the nonprofit spectrum (nimble startup and global giant) gives him a rare lens into what makes storytelling resonate across channels and audiences.The episode introduces the concept of “anthem stories”: compelling narratives that distill the essence of a nonprofit's mission, vision, and values through the lived experience of a single person or community. Graeme breaks down how these stories can move beyond abstract mission statements to become powerful tools for donor acquisition, cultivation, and stewardship.Key Highlights Include:Why the phrase “whoever tells the best story wins” matters more than ever in a competitive fundraising environmentThe difference between mission statements that glaze over eyes and stories that make people lean inHow to identify your organization's anthem stories, and why you should train your entire team to do the sameStrategies for building a story identification system that draws on frontline staff without overwhelming themHow stories can be used face-to-face by gift officers and board members, or repurposed into long-form content for donor eventsWhy the best campaigns don't just raise money for buildings or equipment—they tell deeper stories about impact and transformationWhat AI may mean for nonprofit storytelling, and why human emotion, authenticity, and connection remain irreplaceableGraeme also discusses how capital campaigns present a unique opportunity to wrap bold, inspiring stories around organizational moments. Whether you're raising funds for a new facility, celebrating an anniversary, or preparing for a major initiative, understanding and communicating the "bigger story" behind your campaign can make all the difference.He and Andrea examine practical examples, including how a $600,000 septic system became part of a $2.8 million storytelling-driven campaign, and reflect on the common hesitation nonprofits feel about telling their own stories. They explore why even experienced fundraising professionals can find it challenging to gather and share stories, and how to shift that mindset by embedding storytelling into organizational culture.To wrap up, Graeme offers two key takeaways:Create a story identification strategy that equips your team to recognize and collect meaningful stories.Be bold. Don't settle for safe, forgettable content. Take creative risks that cut through the noise and connect with the right donors.Whether you're deep into a campaign or just starting to explore how storytelling fits into your fundraising strategy, this episode offers thoughtful insight, practical steps, and inspiring encouragement to help you turn your stories into tools for impact.For more about Graeme's work, visit AnthemCreative.ca.To access free resources on capital campaigns, including guides and tools mentioned in the episode, visit capitalcampaignpro.com/resources.

It's hard to watch your child struggle to make friends. You might feel stuck between wanting to help and not wanting to push too hard.In this episode of This Complex Life, I answer a listener's question "Hi Marie. My daughter has trouble making friends. We really pinned all our hopes and things changing when she started high school this year, but it has come around to the school holidays again and she is feeling sad and lonely.

Protecting our environmentThe blue skies and warm weather of recent days is a reminder that spring will soon give way to summer. Everywhere the trees and flowers are coming into bloom and the dark evenings are retreating as our daylight hours increase.

Build Casement NowThe delay in building the new Casement Park is totally unacceptable. Like many Gaels of my age I grew up with Casement. I played there for our school teams and enjoyed sports days as well. I have watched umpteen games over the decades. Until 2013. That was the last time Casement Park hosted a game. On 10 June 2013.

She has been a champion for the people of Palestine as Israel's genocide continues to kill and wound hundreds every day.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here In this episode of the Auto Supply Chain Prophets podcast, hosts Terry Onica and Jan Griffiths explore one of the industry's most overlooked but critical aspects: Supplier Relationship Management (SRM).The discussion starts with reflections on Stellantis' layoffs, which got Jan thinking about how OEMs and the UAW still approach negotiations in a transactional way. The same old "tit-for-tat" mindset from her days in the supply chain continues, but the real question is, how can we move beyond this?Fresh off a trip to Belgium, Terry brings practical insights from a recent conference where she discussed the importance of internal collaboration. With so many moving parts—purchasing, quality, materials management, plant operations—the challenge is how to break down silos and get everyone aligned. The solution? SRM technology. With today's SRM tools, companies can finally achieve a "single version of the truth," enabling real-time data access and more reliable performance metrics.The recent disruptions have pushed risk management and ESG into the spotlight, highlighting the need for compliance. It's no longer a matter of "should we do this?" but "we absolutely must." Jan and Terry point out that for leaders listening, now is the time to commit to compliance. This is especially true as regulations increase and controls become tighter, making it mandatory to establish effective systems for managing suppliers.What shines through this episode is Terry's unwavering optimism. Despite being in the trenches of the auto supply chain for years, she stays passionate and hopeful because, as she explains, she's seen it work. She talks about her work with problematic suppliers and how walking them through the steps of MMOG/LE transformed their businesses. Even industries outside of automotive, like medical, have reaped the benefits of implementing these best practices.Join us for a thought-provoking episode that urges listeners to rethink supplier management and highlights the importance of leadership, collaboration, and a unified approach to data.Themes discussed in this episode:The need for the automotive supply chain to move from transactional to collaborative relationshipsThe role of Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) tools in fostering data transparency and shared accountability among stakeholdersHow leadership commitment is essential for driving supply chain transformation and addressing resource constraintsThe increasing demand for rigorous data accuracy and compliance in today's complex supply chain environmentThe potential of technology to revolutionize supply chain processes and improve overall efficiencyWhy regular evaluations of supplier performance are necessary to encourage accountability and sustained successHow implementing best practices from frameworks like MMOG/LE can significantly improve supplier collaboration and overall performanceFeatured on this episode: Name: Terry OnicaTitle: Director, Automotive at QADAbout: For two decades, Terry has been the automotive vertical director of this provider of manufacturing Enterprise Resource Planning software and supply chain solutions. Her career began in the supply chain in the late 1980s when she led a team to implement Electronic Data Interchange for all the Ford assembly and component plants.Connect:

What's the big deal with regenerative agriculture? I often say that it is regenerative agriculture that will save the world, and it's true. Regenerative farming can do absolute wonders for our planet, our food supply, the air we breath and so much more. Today I'm joined by Brett Packer, executive director of Young Living Essential Oils Farms. We're unpacking the potential of regenerative agriculture and how it differs from industrial and organic farming practices. He sheds light on how thriving soil ecosystems not only enhance our food's nutrient density but also mitigate the extensive environmental damage caused by industries like fast fashion. Industrial agriculture's post-WWII shift has had detrimental effects on our soil, water, and health.
