For your communication to be credible, you can't just say it — you have to do it.Want people to believe what you say? According to Richard Edelman, the words you choose only get you halfway there. To build real trust, he says, you have to practice what you preach.“Action builds trust,” says Edelman. “If you don't do something, you can't talk about it.” As the president and CEO of Edelman, a leading global communications marketing firm, Edelman is widely recognized for his thought leadership in marketing and PR, especially on issues related to corporate trust, brand reputation, and social responsibility. His annual Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a sobering reality: "Two-thirds of people believe leaders lie to them now, business leaders, government leaders, even journalists." For people and organizations that want to rebuild trust, whether in a one-on-one relationship or with a customer base of millions, Edelman's advice is simple: "Decide, do, communicate."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Edelman and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for winning trust when traditional authority no longer guarantees it. In an age of skepticism, Edelman's insights show that sustainable trust comes not from perfect messaging, but from consistently aligning your actions with your words.Episode Reference Links:Richard Edelman158.

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
Is housing really unaffordable because we’re not building enough? Or is that just one part of a much bigger, more complicated story? In this episode, we sit down with Peter Mares, journalist, researcher, and author of No Place Like Home – to break down the real reasons why housing is unaffordable in Australia today. Peter walks us through how decades of policy decisions, from tax incentives to the withdrawal of public housing investment, have created a system that prioritises wealth-building over stability. We talk about the deeper issues at play; like how negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions have distorted the market, and why treating housing as infrastructure could be a game-changer. We also get into the cultural side of the problem. The obsession with homeownership, the underuse of housing stock, and the lack of medium-density options in the suburbs all play a role in keeping people locked out. And Peter doesn’t just point out what’s wrong, he offers grounded, practical ideas on what can actually shift. If you’ve ever wondered why housing is unaffordable in Australia, beyond the headlines and hot takes, this conversation pulls back the curtain. It’s honest, insightful, and packed with the kind of context that’s so often missing from the national debate. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 04:14 - Should home ownership be the goal of housing policy? 06:09 - How has financialisation distorted our housing system? 10:39 - What are the key structural issues we keep avoiding? 14:18 - Can we even build enough housing with current capacity limits? 16:54 - What does it mean to treat housing as infrastructure? 19:03 - Can Singapore’s housing model teach Australia something? 21:23 - Should we rethink what the “ideal” Australian home looks like? 25:00 - Why aren’t people downsizing even when it makes sense? 27:04 - How does tax shape housing decisions? 32:51 - What’s changing behind the scenes at Treasury? 35:07 - Could new superannuation taxes push more money into housing? 39:06 - Is Labor too scared to touch housing tax reform again? 46:01 - Would a land tax instead of stamp duty really work? 50:35 - What got you interested in housing policy in the first place? 52:12 - What’s your take on current housing journalism? 54:53 - Peter Mares’ property dumbo About Our Guest: Peter Mares is an independent journalist, researcher, and public commentator best known for his book No Place Like Home: Repairing Australia’s Housing Crisis. He spent 25 years at the ABC—first as a foreign correspondent and later hosting national radio programs—before moving into urban policy and social issues. He held roles as an adjunct senior research fellow at Monash University, a Cities Fellow at the Grattan Institute, contributing editor for Inside Story, and lead moderator of the Cranlana Centre for Ethical Leadership.

In this episode of Hashtag Trending, titled 'The Inflection Point: AI's Gentle Singularity and the Security Conundrum', the hosts grapple with planning their show amidst rapid technological changes and delve into a blog post by Sam Altman on the 'Gentle Singularity.'

In this solo episode, I explore what the Netflix drama Toxic Town can teach us about moral leadership.Using James Rest's Four-Component Model of ethical decision-making, I contrast two characters - Roy Thomas and Sam Hagen - and examine how their choices offer a powerful lens for executive leaders navigating complexity, responsibility, and risk. This episode is especially relevant for anyone in a leadership role asking:What makes ethical action possible?How do status and proximity to power shape our moral clarity?And what can we do to develop the courage to act when it counts?If you read my recent Suite Spot newsletter, this conversation will take the thinking a step deeper.

In today's episode of Leading Through Crisis, we explore the question, “What's at stake when leaders are unprincipled, unethical, incompetent, and selfish?”Philippe Johnson, a retired US Air Force officer, advocate for principled and ethical leadership, and author, shares his thoughts, particularly as they relate to public service and through the lens of Trump's presidency.Topics discussed:◾️Paying attention to the competencies and personality traits that are being normalized◾️Traits of problematic leaders to watch out for◾️Principled loyalty vs blind loyalty, and loyalty over competence or ethics◾️What's at risk, on an organizational level and a larger, more macro or national level“That's the thing I want to diminish, loyalty for loyalty's sake as a virtue. It's not. The definition of loyalty is an allegiance that's earned.”Join us for a fascinating and perhaps horrifying conversation on What Hangs In The Balance (conveniently, also the name of Philippe's book).—Philippe Johnson is a retired United States Air Force officer and advocate for principled and ethical leadership in public service. The son of a language teacher and career United States Army officer, he was raised in the United States, France, and Germany. During his 24 years on active duty, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson served as a fixed- and rotary-wing pilot, intelligence officer, and diplomat (military attaché), and was honored with the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, and the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster. He also served on the staffs of two Air Force major commands as his final two assignments. Philippe received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Florida and earned his master's degree in public policy from the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy. He can be reached at www.philippejohnson.com.

Kids spend hours a day on their phones scrolling through social media. Many have debated whether all this social media use is bad for mental health, but there's a more basic question that needs to be asked: Does all this social media use promote healthy development?Does it help kids develop into well-formed adults?

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Steel, author and host of Let's Talk About Sects, an award-winning independent podcast about which the New York Times said, "Come for the satisfying pun in the title, stay for the deeply researched chronicles of all kinds of cults." We discuss a topic that's often misunderstood but deeply important, especially in the world of spirituality: the nature of cults. With cult documentaries becoming a regular feature on streaming services, and the word ‘cult' being thrown around to describe different groups, we wanted to open a conversation to unpack what actually defines a cult and to explore the subtle red flags that can emerge in spiritual, religious, or self-development spaces.FYI - This isn't an episode on the different cults that exist in the world nor is it about trauma. Sarah's podcast is a great resource for those conversations and we highly recommend listening if you're interested. Instead, we wanted this episode to discuss how cultic tendencies are part of many different communities, what to look out for when joining or being part of a community, and essentially how to not become a cult leader and instead build healthy community for all to benefit from.Whether you're part of a spiritual community, a wellness circle, or simply curious about the dynamics of power, control, and coercion—this episode offers powerful insights on building integrity into the spaces we share.What we talk about.The definition of a cult and cult leaderImpact of cults on its membersCoercive behaviours, power, and controlCults evolving from communities Why cults are present in spirituality and religionCult ‘Red Flags' to look out forSupporting ex-members of cultsMedia coverage and public awareness of cultsThe business of spirituality and cult-like tendenciesHow to not become a cult leaderFostering healthy community and leaders in the spiritual spaceConnect with Sarah Steel.WebsiteInstagramResources.Let's Talk About Sects Podcast hosted by Sarah SteelDo As I Say How cults control, why we join them, and what they teach us about bullying, abuse and coercion (also available on Audible and Spotify)Cultic bahaviour ‘Red Flags' checklistAssociation for Spiritual Integrity honour code for teachers and studentsLearn to meditate with us at Mahasoma --- follow us @mahasoma --- hello@mahasoma.com

The message was delivered on Sunday, March 30th, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar. What does it mean to take a stand when the stakes are high? One man, faced with corruption and intimidation, chose integrity over compromise, setting a powerful precedent for generations to come. His story, rooted in the fight for justice and equality, remains eerily relevant today as we navigate challenges to democracy, inclusion, and moral courage. How do we ensure that our values withstand the tests of our time? The answer lies in the legacy of those who came before us—and in the choices we make now.

In this special episode of EMS One-Stop, host Rob Lawrence welcomes General Robert B. Neller, the 37th commandant of the United States Marine Corps, to discuss leadership, decision-making, team building and the evolving challenges facing public safety professionals. General Neller shares his perspective on leading under pressure, making critical decisions, and fostering an ethical and resilient organizational culture. With decades of military leadership experience, he provides actionable insights that apply not only to the armed forces but also to EMS, law enforcement, and fire and rescue personnel. Throughout the episode, General Neller emphasizes the importance of training, adaptability and the role of leadership in guiding organizations through times of uncertainty. He highlights the significance of ethical leadership, followership and how leaders must take responsibility for failures while empowering their teams. The discussion also explores the impact of emerging technologies, such as AI and body-worn cameras on public safety, and the crucial need for ongoing training despite staffing and funding challenges. This thought-provoking conversation delivers key takeaways for current and aspiring leaders across all branches of public safety. 15 leadership quotes from General Robert B. Neller “Making decisions is part of your training — you're expected to make them, and you have to do it in critical moments.” “If I could wave a magic wand, I'd put everyone at 110% staffing so they had the time to train properly.” “The leader's job is to set the example — how you carry yourself, how you treat others, and how you communicate matters.” “Good leaders anticipate. They don't just react — they look ahead and keep their teams informed.” “Followership isn't blind obedience; it's about understanding the mission, contributing ideas, and executing effectively.” “Accepting responsibility is a core tenet of leadership — when things go wrong, the leader must own it.” “Change is inevitable, and good leaders learn to embrace it while preparing their people for what's ahead.” “Take care of yourself — physically, mentally and morally — because leadership starts with personal discipline.” “As a leader, you have to accept that sometimes you'll make the right call, and things still won't go your way — that's part of the job.” “You have to train and rehearse because time spent on reconnaissance is seldom wasted.” “The worst thing you can hear as a leader is that ‘you don't care' — your people need to know that you do.” “To build culture and cohesion, you set the example — you take the physical fitness test, you wear the uniform properly, and you carry yourself the right way.” “Good leadership is not about the complete suppression of ideas — if you have time, get input, because someone might have a better idea than you.” “If you have good followers, being a leader is significantly easier — if you don't, it's a challenge every day.” “Change is inevitable — if you're not evolving, you're not making progress, and that's a problem.”
In today's compelling episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the nuanced reality of living a life of faith amidst life's inevitable challenges. Joe candidly shares his feelings of inconsistency — balancing a life in faith and buying into Jesus points by living virtuously, while external challenges still cast long shadows over his achievements. This profound discussion explores the tension between the desire for fidelity to God's teachings and the realities of worldly struggles.Father Boniface approaches this topic with depth, wisdom, and empathy, addressing common misconceptions that faithful living is naïve or idealistic. He articulates that true faith requires a delicate balance in navigating life's decisions — whether in moments of temptation or encounters with moral dilemmas — while standing firm in one's beliefs. Through personal anecdotes and examples, Father illustrates that being faithful does not necessitate retreating from the professional or worldly environment. Indeed, successful leaders who exemplify Catholic ethics inspire through their courage to uphold their faith amidst societal pressures.Building on Joe's thoughts on relationships and expectations, the conversation widens to consider the unpredictable nature of human interactions and pressures that define daily life. They discuss how faith acts as an anchor, offering hope amidst the unpredictability of life and motivating courage despite potential negative outcomes in interpersonal exchanges.Listeners are encouraged to recognize suffering as both a reality of life and a pathway to deeper communion with God. Through the Christian lens, trials and adversities are framed as opportunities for growth, resilience, and the expression of authentic faith.In closing, they remind us that faith isn't a guarantee for an easy life but offers the tools to navigate life's struggles with hope and resolve. Listeners are invited to share this message of spiritual resilience, expanding the conversation beyond personal growth to community engagement and solidarity in faith.
