What happens when you stop focusing on human resources and start focusing on the human experience? Technology is advancing faster than human nature can keep up. If you want to stay relevant, you need a fundamental cultural reset, not just new software. In this interview, Laura Cushing, the Chief People Experience Officer at Pacific Life, discusses the evolving intersection of organizational culture, employee engagement, and artificial intelligence. She emphasizes a strategic shift toward accountability and transparency as the balance of power moves back toward employers in a post-pandemic landscape. To prepare for an AI-driven future, Pacific Life has implemented a Gen AI Academy and Innovation Labs to demystify technology and help staff reimagine their workflows. Cushing highlights the rising importance of "power skills"—human-centric abilities like coaching and visionary leadership—which remain essential as technical tasks become automated. Ultimately, she argues that HR leaders must cultivate deep business acumen and proactive trust-building to successfully guide their workforces through digital transformation.

What happens when customer experience stops being a soft metric and starts becoming a direct driver of revenue, retention, and real-time action? In this episode, I sat down with Jeff Gelfuso, SVP and Chief Product and Experience Officer at Qualtrics, during X4 Summit in Seattle to talk about how AI is changing the way businesses understand and improve customer relationships. Jeff shared how his role sits at the point where product, experience, and business outcomes meet, helping customers use Qualtrics in ways that are both practical and measurable. One of the biggest themes in our conversation was the shift from simply listening to customers to actually doing something in the moment. For years, many companies have relied on surveys, dashboards, and reports that told them what had already gone wrong. Jeff explained how that model is changing fast. With AI, organizations can now understand signals as they happen and trigger action before a poor experience turns into churn, frustration, or lost revenue. We talked about examples from brands like Marriott and TruGreen, and this is where the conversation became especially interesting. In TruGreen's case, AI-powered analysis helped reveal that service quality, not price, was the real reason customers were leaving. That kind of insight changed the conversation from guesswork to financial impact. When one point of retention can mean $10 million in annual revenue, experience suddenly becomes a boardroom issue, not just a customer service metric. Jeff also offered a refreshingly clear view on agentic AI. Instead of treating it as another layer of hype, he described it as a way to turn experience data into action, using context to help businesses close the loop faster and with greater precision. That means moving beyond smarter dashboards and toward systems that can surface priorities, recommend next steps, and help teams act without getting buried in complexity. Another standout part of the discussion was how Qualtrics is helping customers move beyond pilot purgatory. Jeff was candid that meaningful AI progress still takes work, focus, and the discipline to solve the right problems first. The companies seeing real value are not trying to do everything at once. They are identifying specific use cases, tying them to real business outcomes, and building from there. What I enjoyed most about this conversation was how clearly Jeff connected technology to human experience. Yes, there was plenty of discussion around AI, automation, and context, but at the heart of it all was something much simpler. Better experiences build stronger relationships, and stronger relationships drive loyalty, trust, and growth. So if your business is still treating experience as a nice-to-have instead of a measurable driver of performance, what might you be missing right in front of you? I would love to hear your thoughts after listening.

The workplace is evolving, but not without friction. AI, culture, and leadership expectations are colliding, and while some leaders scramble to keep up, others are creating environments that feel more like day spas than places of work. How do you lead with kindness while still setting high expectations? In this episode of Future Ready Leadership, I spoke with KeyAnna Schmiedl, Chief Human Experience Officer at Workhuman, about what it really takes to evolve workplace culture and leadership in a time of rapid change. We explored the current state of AI and its role in supporting, not replacing the human element at work. KeyAnna sheds light on the shift from compliance-focused HR to human experience-focused leadership, and how organizations can avoid the trap of over-accommodation and instead focus on clarity, accountability, and human-centered leadership. We discussed the misapplication of psychological safety, the dangers of therapy language, the importance of building resilience and critical thinking, and why companies struggle to define and communicate their true culture. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman: Don't you hate how every HR company out there says they are powered by AI?

Jill Cress is the Chief Marketing and Experience Officer for H&R Block. She also serves on the board of the AdCouncil, and she's been recognized on Forbes' list of the World's 50 Most Influential CMOs. Before H&R Block, Jill spent 20 years at MasterCard. Now, a leader who spends most of their professional life working in financial institutions could easily build their success around the study of data, but the foundations of Jill's leadership are based on the most valuable investments of all. Delivering results has always been table stakes when you're stepping into a leadership position, and money will and should sit squarely on that table as one essential definition of success. But enduring financial success is a consequence of your willingness to take your eyes off the financial prize and fix them squarely on your most valuable assets: The people that work for you. And what matters to them are two things. First, that they matter. And second, that what they're doing makes a difference. During our conversation, I talked to Jill about the creativity diagnostic tool that we've developed. It measures when leaders are creating the conditions that maximize the creativity of their people. One of the critical insights that shows up time and time again is that the very best leaders are fully invested in creating a culture that ensures that everyone feels seen and heard and respected. Now, this investment carries personal risk, because it can make you as the leader feel vulnerable, and it is time consuming. But the ROI is through the roof. So what are you investing in?

Previously a member of the Defense Digital Service during his first tour of duty with the DOD, Kong helped build the department's CXO office from scratch, fostering a culture that prioritizes the needs of service members, civilians, and mission partners and striving to streamline governance processes, improve transparency, and ensure that IT solutions meet operational needs.

FedRAMP is getting another overhaul, one that will involve far more automation and a greater role for the private sector, the program's chief announced Monday. Through FedRAMP 20x, the General Services Administration-based team focused on the program aims to simplify the authorization process and reduce the amount of time needed to approve a service from months to weeks, Director Pete Waterman said during an Alliance for Digital Innovation event. The private sector will also have increased responsibility over monitoring of their systems, he noted. In a critical change, agency sponsorship will — eventually — no longer be necessary to win authorization. As a first step, FedRAMP has launched four community working groups, which give the public a chance to share feedback, and focus on creating “innovative solutions” to formalize the program's standards. But in the meantime, Waterman said existing baselines will remain in place and there are no immediate changes to the program. The Office of Personnel Management and the departments of Treasury and Education are now barred from sharing individuals' personally identifiable information with DOGE representatives, a federal judge ruled Monday. Judge Deborah L. Boardman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland said in her decision that in granting associates with Elon Musk's so-called government efficiency initiative access to systems containing plaintiffs' PII, the agencies “likely violated” the Privacy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. The lawsuit was filed by the American Federation of Teachers, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, the National Federation of Federal Employees, and six military veterans.

This episode features an interview with Donald Knight, Venture Partner at Valor Ventures and Miriam Connaughton, Chief People and Experience Officer at Simpplr. Donald's expertise is in creating a culture where employees thrive and has a proven track record of constructing scalable global strategies that support international expansion. Miriam utilizes her three decades of HR consulting experience to shape and deliver a great employee experience, through dynamic HR strategies and AI-powered technology.In this episode, Shawn, Donald, and Miriam discuss the concept of high-performance cultures, how fostering human connection and empathy in the workplace can combat loneliness, and the impact of AI on workplace dynamics.-------------------“Historically, our profession has been rooted on five major time periods. It started because of being administrative in nature. Then from administration, we went into compliance. From compliance, we went into employee satisfaction. From satisfaction, you got companies that are focused on how do they engage their employees, mainly through this lens of productivity. Last, I think the best companies understand that they want people to be fulfilled. If you want people to be fulfilled, you got to recognize that there's plenty of talent at your organization that just isn't. There is a large sentiment of loneliness.” – Donald Knight“If you have lots of people with similar habits, that becomes the culture. It's habit-creating. If managers in general are good at creating psychological safety in an organization and they have a habit of practicing that, then people will generally report that's a cultural trait here. I feel really included and I feel like I can be my authentic self because it's very psychologically safe here. It doesn't just happen because you say it, it happens because people have healthy habits around that on a daily, moment-to-moment basis.” – Miriam Connaughton-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:35): Getting to know Donald and Miriam*(08:46): Being an intentional leader*(17:56): High-Performance Index and the ripple effect*(27:28): Loneliness in the workplace*(46:56): Incentivizing human-centric leadership*(53:29): The role of AI in enhancing employee experience-------------------Links:Connect with Donald on LinkedInFollow Donald on InstagramFollow Donald on ThreadsEmail DonaldConnect with Miriam on LinkedInEmail MiriamConnect with Shawn on LinkedInCohesion PodcastAbout Simpplr

Some families come together during traumatic times, and others drift apart. We all handle things differently in the best of times. During traumatic times, these differences can feel even bigger. The families that have the conversations - the uncomfortable conversations - learn how to navigate the unclear healing paths ahead. Together. Sisters Molly Cohen & Leslie Rott lost their father unexpectedly almost ten years ago. They had the conversations - and continue to have the conversations, and heal, together. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, Molly and Leslie share their story of loss and their different paths towards healing. Respecting those differences led them to heal through writing, again together, in a co written / co authored chapter in Faces of Grief (available this December!) Connect with them both on social media and meet them in person at Pilates in the Park this August, and Healing Together Through the Holidays this December.
