In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show Podcast, “What Makes AI Transformations Fail Even with Great Technology with Sridhar Ravilla,” Dr. Ginny sits down with transformation leader Sridhar (Sid) Ravilla to unpack a quieter but more consequential truth behind AI-era change: technology accelerates progress, but leadership judgment determines whether progress holds.Rather than focusing on tools, platforms, or implementation frameworks, the conversation turns toward the human side of transformation: how decisions are made, how clarity is maintained under pressure, and why organizations often underestimate the leadership capacity required to match the speed of modern systems.What emerges is a grounded, timely perspective for leaders navigating complexity at scale.Listen to this episode to:Understand why even well-funded, well-designed AI transformations lose momentum at the leadership levelRecognize the subtle ways decision-making slows as organizational complexity increasesReframe how leadership judgment, not technology adoption, becomes the true driver of transformation successThis episode is especially relevant for executives, transformation leaders, and decision-makers navigating AI adoption, digital modernization, and enterprise-scale change. It offers a sharper lens on what actually drives sustainable execution in high-speed environments where clarity is often the first casualty.Rather than more noise about AI capability, this conversation brings attention back to something more foundational: how leaders think, decide, and stay accountable when systems scale faster than human judgment.About Our Distinguished Guest: Sridhar (Sid) Ravilla is the author of Transformation That Lands and brings over 25 years of experience leading large-scale technology and transformation initiatives across global organizations. His work focuses on decision ownership, governance at scale, and why transformation efforts often break down when leadership judgment becomes diffused across systems, teams, and processes. He is currently engaged in fractional executive roles supporting organizations through complex change and AI-driven transformation.

There's a particular kind of exhaustion many leaders and high performers quietly normalize over time. Not because they lack resilience or work ethic, but because constant urgency, nonstop communication, increasing expectations, and blurred boundaries slowly become part of the work culture itself.In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro sits down with Amy Pierre-Russo, Certified Life & Leadership Coach and former HR leader, for an honest conversation about the leadership habits quietly shaping employee experience, workplace culture, and the way teams experience work today.As organizations continue navigating AI disruption, leaner structures, caregiving responsibilities, economic uncertainty, and rising demands, many employees and leaders are carrying far more than most workplaces fully recognize. From this conversation, you will gain insight into:What happens when constant availability becomes normalizedWhy support systems matter more than we give it credit How intentional leadership can positively influence workplace culture over timeIf you are leading teams, navigating organizational change, supporting employees through demanding seasons, or trying to create healthier and more sustainable leadership rhythms, this conversation will likely feel very familiar.About Our Distinguised Guest: Amy Pierre-Russo is a Certified Life & Leadership Coach who helps women move from hustle to harmony by creating work-life rhythms that feel aligned, sustainable, and fulfilling. Her passion for this work grew from years in Human Resources, where she saw how often professionals, especially moms, were stretched thin trying to “do it all.”

After watching her father work hard for decades and save responsibly for retirement, Ev Foster completely changed the way she thinks about life. Shortly after retiring, he suffered a massive stroke that dramatically altered the future their family thought they would have together.The trips they talked about never happened the way they imagined.In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro and Ev Foster discuss the power of choice.  As responsibilities continue increasing and constant change and AI reshape the workplace, we normalize this level of intensity, and we stop noticing how disconnected we have become from ourselves in the process.From this conversation, you'll gain insights into:the small choices that quietly shape the quality of our liveswhat happens when we become externally driven and disconnected from ourselvesthe difference between performing leadership and fully living itAbout Ev FosterEv Foster is the author of Change Starts With Choice and an Intuitive Psychology Coach in training. Her work centers on helping people understand the power of their choices and how clarity leads to confident action and meaningful change. To connect with Ev:

She didn't start by building a business.And she became the top income earner in a billion-dollar company.In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, How to Build a Powerful Business Through Trust, Purpose, and Love with Jen Smith, Jen shares how she did it using her own blueprint.You are being asked to deliver faster results, lead through transformation, integrate AI into your workforce, and develop your team at the same time.You are also doing what you were taught to do, driving outcomes, pushing for performance, and holding a high bar.

Sometimes your burnout does not look like burnout. It looks like success.You are leading, delivering, solving problems, managing expectations, and caring for your team. You are carrying responsibilities at work and at home. People trust you, rely on you, and often assume you have everything under control.From the outside, it looks like success. Inside, it can feel very different.In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro sits down with Elisha Meek to talk about something too many high-performing leaders normalize: emotional exhaustion disguised as leadership strength.We are not calling it burnout. We are calling it responsibility, commitment, and being driven.If you keep telling yourself this is only a demanding season, this conversation is for you.Dr. Ginny and Elisha explore how burnout hides inside high performance and quietly affects trust, executive presence, team engagement, and organizational results long before leaders call it burnout.One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation is simple: the opposite of burnout is peace of mind.

“Hiring is broken because the best people are not applying.” That may be an executive recruiter's perspective. Hear me out.In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, What Smart Leaders Get Wrong About Talent and Growth, Dr. Ginny Baro sits down with Ken Eslick, CEO of The Leaders Lab, who brings decades of experience helping organizations understand what it really takes to build strong leadership teams.Together, they talk about why the strongest talent is often already working somewhere else, why organizations can bring in strong talent and still hit a ceiling, and why leaders can step into bigger roles while still operating from the identity of the earlier one. They also discuss why AI cannot replace the human connection leadership requires, and why emotional intelligence, development, and clarity still matter.

In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny A. Baro explores a quieter disruption many leaders are already feeling, though not always naming.In How AI Could Destroy Your Identity and Confidence Now, she brings attention to what happens when roles shift, visibility changes, and leaders begin to question themselves, even when their capability remains intact.Dr. Ginny draws on her work with executive teams and Fearless Women at Work to explore how AI is reshaping identity, confidence, and personal value in real time.This is a conversation about what stays true when everything around you is moving.In this episode, you will walk away with:A clearer way to recognize the early signs of identity and confidence shifts during changeA deeper understanding of how AI-driven transformation is affecting leaders beyond performanceA new perspective on how to stay grounded and lead with clarity as expectations evolveRecommended resources:⭐ If you enjoyed this content, subscribe to our podcast, rate it so others can find it, and share the episode with your trusted network.Looking for ways to grow and lead?⭐ Let's connect for a 15-minute cyber coffee and explore what you're facing or what may be holding you or your team back.

We push through, take on more than we should, and keep moving even when something does not feel right. From the outside, that can look like leadership strength or resilience. Inside, it can feel very different.In How to Break Resilience Myths and Spring Forward with Russell Harvey, I sit down with leadership coach Russell Harvey for a thoughtful conversation about what resilience really means for leaders and executive teams. Together, they challenge the myths many leaders have learned to accept, especially the idea that resilience means pushing harder, carrying more, and keeping it all moving no matter what.Through stories, reflection, and practical insight, this conversation helps you look at resilience, leadership energy, and over-functioning through a different lens. It also brings forward the role of self-awareness, the cost of staying in constant motion, and the kind of pause that can help leaders regain perspective before pressure starts affecting their confidence, decisions, and team impact.In this episode, listeners will:Gain a clearer and more practical way to think about resilience in leadershipRecognize patterns that may be draining energy, weakening perspective, or pulling them into over-functioningReflect on how greater awareness can strengthen leadership impact, team experience, and decision makingAbout Russell HarveyRussell Harvey is a Leadership Coach and Facilitator, Public Speaker, Managing Director, NED, Podcaster, and Radio Host.

In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro sits down with Aleta Maxwell, leadership coach and best selling author of Uplifting Leaders, to explore what quietly slows leaders and teams down, even when performance looks fine on the surface.Their conversation focuses on how blind spots form as roles grow, why leadership development cannot be treated as interchangeable, and how trust, feedback, and decision making shift when leaders build deeper self awareness. Together, they name what many senior leaders sense but struggle to articulate, and why ignoring it comes at a real cost.This episode is for leaders and organizations navigating pressure, complexity, and rising expectations, and asking whether their current leadership development approach is truly fit for the level of work required.What listeners gain from this conversation:

What's changing right now isn't the caliber of leaders. It's the environment we're leading in.

Skeleton is one of the oldest winter sports in existence. Ella Al-Shamahi talks to two Olympic medallists whose careers have seen them sliding down an icy track – face first – at speeds of up to 140 kilometres an hour.Lizzy Yarnold won gold medals for skeleton at successive Winter Olympics. She joined the Great Britain national squad in 2010, winning Olympic gold in 2014 and 2018, and is the most successful British Winter Olympian and skeleton athlete of all time from any nation.Kimberley Bos is a World Champion skeleton racer from the Netherlands and will be competing at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. She originally competed internationally in bobsleigh, before switching to skeleton for the 2013–14 European Cup season – being the only skeleton athlete representing her country for years. She won a bronze medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2021 – the first Olympic medal winner for her country in a sliding sport. Kimberley went on to win the World Championships in Lake Placid in March 2025.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Kimberley Bos credit Viesturs Lacis. (R), Lizzy Yarnold credit Karen Yeoman.)

What's changing right now isn't the caliber of leaders. It's the environment we're leading in.

At some point in leadership, effort is no longer the problem. The work is getting done. The strategy makes sense. And still, something feels off.In this episode of the Dr. Ginny Show, we talk about the leadership skill most leaders are never trained to develop.When leaders lead with purpose and clarity, something shifts. People stop going through the motions and start taking ownership because they understand the bigger picture.I also share a personal story, a moment taught me what real leadership looks like.If you are a leader navigating change with your team, growth, or a new season in your career, this message will serve you.If you are ready to pause, reflect, and lead with greater intention, let's start with a 15-minute cyber coffee.

“When I first walked into the FA, I felt completely out of place - like an alien at someone else's party. The culture was so unfamiliar that I doubted whether I belonged at all. But by finding allies and quietly building a team who believed in change, I realised I could make an impact.”Baroness Sue Campbell is one of the most influential leaders in British sport, a woman whose entire career has been driven by a single mission: to use sport to change lives. Recorded live at the Leaders in Sport 2025 Summit, this conversation revisits her extraordinary impact at the FA, her pivotal role in the Lionesses' Euro 2022 triumph and her new chapter chairing England Netball.She talks openly about resilience rooted in moral purpose and the power of authentic leadership. We explore how staying focused on her mission, and not personal ego, has carried her through moments of doubt, sexism and deep personal challenge.Sue speaks movingly about the Lionesses' journey, working with Sarina Wiegman and the unforgettable night at Wembley when years of pressure and self-doubt melted into joy. But she also warns of the current “illusion” of success in women's sport, urging urgent investment in the ‘missing middle' - the semi-professional pathways that must be strengthened if young women are truly to build sustainable careers in sport.Now leading England Netball, Sue shares her passion for growing the sport's profile and protecting the unique culture that makes women's sport so special - community, safety, authenticity and connection.Her message for future leaders is clear and compelling: stay authentic, find your purpose, learn relentlessly and never underestimate the power of one determined individual to change the world.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

Join me as I welcome historian and bestselling author Dr. Elizabeth Cobbs about her book Fearless Women and her powerful concept of patriotic feminism. Dr. Cobbs explains how generations of American women have pushed the nation to live up to its founding ideals, often pairing a deep love of country with a bold willingness to demand change.Our conversation explores the women who shaped U.S. history—famous and forgotten—and the surprising ways their activism, labor, and leadership moved the country forward. This episode is a compelling look at how patriotic feminism has influenced American identity from the founding era to today.Support the show

Senior leaders who listen to this episode recognize the moment it speaks to immediately. The pressure to perform has not eased. The demands have not slowed. And yet the strategies that once delivered certainty now require recalibration. This conversation meets leaders in that exact space, offering perspective, grounding, and a steadier way forward without walking away from what they have built.We sit down with author and radio host Lisa Parda to explore what leadership looks like in the in-between season so many leaders quietly navigate. Together, we reflect on identity, wellness, reinvention, and the inner shifts that occur when pushing harder is no longer the answer.This is a conversation for leaders who are carrying responsibility with strength and curiosity, and who are ready to relate to their leadership and their lives with greater intention.Listeners walk away with:A new lens for navigating leadership identity during seasons of constant changeInsight into how to redesign how they lead without abandoning what they have builtA steadier framework for sustaining performance, clarity, and self-trust over time

“We're at an inflection point - fans, sponsors and the next generation are demanding better. Sport has to decide what future it wants.”On today's must listen episode of The Game Changers podcast, pioneering human rights lawyer and Athlead CEO Kat Craig explores how sport can change the world, yet why it too often simply replicates its worst injustices. Kat offers a compelling blueprint from a world-leading voice: how to move from statements to structure and build safer, fairer sport for everyone.Driven by what she calls an “allergic reaction to injustice”, Kat charts her path from frontline human rights legal work to a decade inside the sports system, and explains why she founded AthLead, to turn athlete voice, sport-for-good strategy and rights-based governance into meaningful, lasting culture change.Kat doesn't shy away from hard truths. Sport's centralised power and insularity, she argues, create blind spots that silence those most harmed by discrimination and abuse.We also dive into athlete activism in a polarised era where authenticity matters more than ever, and why better gender balance has the potential to transform sport at every level.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

The first Somali, male or female, to compete for a world title, Ramla's story is one of resilience, representation and the relentless pursuit of change.In this conversation with Sue Anstiss, Ramla reflects on a recent visit to the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya where she witnessed both the devastating impact of aid cuts and the extraordinary hope of young women determined to build a better future. She speaks openly about her own family's escape from Somalia, the courage of her parents and the sacrifices that shaped her life in the UK.Ramla reveals how she discovered boxing almost by accident, keeping her training secret from her family until they came to embrace her achievements with pride. She discusses what it meant to walk into the Olympic arena carrying Somalia's flag and the trail she's blazed for others to follow. Ramla talks proudly of the power of Sisters Club, the organisation she founded to give women and girls safe access to sport.From walking into a Boxercise class as a teenager to being the subject of an upcoming Hollywood film, Ramla has consistently challenged stereotypes and redefined what's possible. Whether in the ring, in fashion, or in refugee camps, Ramla uses her platform to inspire change and to call for dignity, opportunity and equality for all.This is the story of a fighter whose greatest victories extend far beyond sport.****Ramla Ali is a UNICEF UK Ambassador.

Paralympic champion turned open-water pioneer Melanie Barratt shares her extraordinary story of resilience, courage and reinvention. Born with severe visual impairment, Melanie rose to the top of British swimming before stepping away from elite competition to explore new challenges. In 2024, Melanie made history as the first blind woman to swim the English Channel solo - an achievement she says means even more to her than her Paralympic gold medals.In this powerful conversation with Sue Anstiss, Melanie reflects on the joy of discovering water as a child, the pressures and triumphs of Atlanta and Sydney and why she walked away at the height of her career. She explains how open water swimming became her “happy place,” and why conquering the Channel was truly life-changing.Melanie also talks about “blind pride,” her golden prosthetic eye and the importance of representation, as well as her current mission to make open water events more accessible for swimmers with disabilities. Her story is one of breaking barriers, redefining limits and finding empowerment in nature.A conversation that will inspire us all to believe we can overcome fear and dive headfirst into whatever challenge calls us next.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

Why are we still telling female rugby coaches they are ‘not ready' to coach at the highest levels of the women's game, when we then say to male players ‘you can go straight into professional coaching when you come off the field'? This is just one of the thought-provoking questions Giselle Mather tackles on today's episode of The Game Changers podcast.Giselle is one of the most influential and pioneering figures in rugby. A formerEngland international and World Cup winner, Giselle's extraordinary coachingcareer has seen her consistently break new ground in the sport.  Giselle was the first woman to earn the RFU's Level 4 coaching qualification and has gone on to lead at the very highest levels of both the men's and women's professional game. In this candid conversation, Giselle relives the raw early years of the women'sgame, from the first Women's World Cup in 1991 to lifting the trophy in 1994,and explains how those experiences forged a coaching philosophy that puts the human before the athlete.Combining elite coaching with a busy family life as a mother of three, Giselle has coached at Wasps, London Irish, Teddington, Ealing Trailfinders and internationally as a coach for England Women and Head Coach for Team GB Women's Rugby 7s, along with the inaugural Women's Barbarians.Giselle shares how she's earned respect in men's environments, the principles that underpin her sessions and the leadership needed to build diverse staff teams where every player can connect and thrive. We talk about how visibility is the fastest route to equality for women's rugby,why elite athletes deserve the very best qualified coaches and how blunt gender quotas in coaching can backfire.Renowned for her vision, passion and commitment to developing people, Giselle has inspired players and coaches across generations. She's an extraordinary leader on and off the pitch.  Next week's guest is Somali professional boxer, model and campaign activist - Ramla AliThank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production
