I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title: Leading with Authenticity: The Power of Gratitude, Vulnerability, and True Self-Expression [The secret to leading with purpose.] Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Nadine Levigne Episode Summary: In this insightful episode, I sit down with Nadine, a seasoned leader with experience at GE, Boeing, and a tech company, to explore the power of authentic leadership. Nadine shares her journey of helping others become the best version of themselves through meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and the ability to lead with gratitude. We dive into the importance of asking probing questions, discovering the emotional drivers behind behavior, and how leaders can foster authenticity in their teams. If you've ever struggled with feedback, leadership pressures, or the need to conform, this episode will inspire you to embrace your true self and create a workplace culture that celebrates vulnerability and connection. You'll learn: The Art of Asking Probing Questions: Nadine shares how asking deep, meaningful questions allows people to uncover and address the true issues they face, rather than just solving surface-level problems. Embracing Vulnerability in Leadership: Authentic leadership isn't about perfection—it's about aligning actions with values and being open to vulnerability. Nadine explains how leaders can show up as their true selves to foster stronger connections. Gratitude as a Tool for Personal Growth: Nadine highlights how focusing on gratitude can lift the weight of trying to be someone you're not and help you embrace your authentic self, both in leadership and life. Handling Feedback: Learning to process feedback effectively is crucial in maintaining authenticity. Nadine discusses her experience with feedback and why it's important to evaluate it within context. Memorable Quotes: “It's more questions that you ask as opposed to really trying to solve their problem.” “Whatever's going on, you have the tools inside you to fix it.” “Gratitude isn't just about saying thank you—it's about embodying it in everything you do.” “They'll remember how you made them feel.” “It is what it is, but at least I don't have that weight of trying to pretend I'm something I'm not.” Actionable Steps for Listeners: Ask the Right Questions: If you're facing a challenge or conflict, pause and ask deeper questions to uncover the emotions or underlying issues. Practice Vulnerability: Embrace your true self, imperfections and all. Lead with authenticity and invite others to do the same. Integrate Gratitude into Your Life: Start each day by acknowledging something you're grateful for—it will help shift your mindset and lighten the emotional load. Reflect on Feedback: When receiving feedback, consider the context and source before deciding if change is needed. Not all feedback should be acted upon immediately.   Final Thought: Authentic leadership starts with embracing who you truly are. When you lead with vulnerability, gratitude, and deep self-awareness, you not only inspire others to do the same but also create a culture of trust and connection that will drive lasting success. It's time to lead with authenticity—your true self has everything you need to make a positive impact.   What listeners have to say: “Her energy is fire!

Innovation is often seen as a function of big ideas and long-term investments, but in today's fast-changing world, organizations must rethink how they approach problem-solving and experimentation. In this episode, I sit down with Shellery Ebron and Annice Kim from RTI International to discuss how one of the world's most respected research organizations is embedding innovation into its culture and operations. RTI International is known for its groundbreaking research in science, health, and public policy. But what sets RTI apart is its commitment to making innovation a core value, not just an occasional initiative. Shellery and Annice share how RTI has shifted its approach, moving away from traditional, multi-year innovation cycles to a more agile, adaptable framework that allows for quicker experimentation and real-world impact. Throughout our conversation, we explore the challenges organizations face when trying to implement innovative ideas. One of the biggest hurdles is inertia—the resistance to change that exists in every industry. Shellery and Annice discuss the importance of storytelling as a tool to overcome resistance, emphasizing that getting buy-in requires painting a vivid picture of the future. Whether talking to business leaders, researchers, or policymakers, framing innovation in a way that speaks to their priorities is key. Another critical aspect of RTI's innovation strategy is breaking down ambitious ideas into smaller, testable projects. Instead of waiting for full funding or a perfect plan, they encourage teams to start with small experiments that confirm key assumptions and build momentum. This step-by-step approach ensures that innovation is not just a one-time effort but a continuous process that drives real change. From embedding innovation into corporate values to fostering a culture where experimentation is encouraged, this episode provides a fascinating look at how RTI International is shaping the future of research and social impact. Whether you're in the public or private sector, there are valuable lessons to be learned from their approach to making innovation a sustainable, organization-wide practice.

How Veolia Prioritizes Health and Safety Worldwide? At Veolia, safety isn't just a requirement—it's embedded in the company's core values. Leading the charge is Arnaud Valleteau de Moulliac, Chief Executive Officer of Veolia Water Technologies. In this week's episode, Arnaud speaks with Scaling UP! H2O host Trace Blackmore about how safety initiatives are reshaping Veolia's culture around the world. Arnaud emphasizes that health and safety are non-negotiable: "It's a 24/7 commitment." This episode takes you inside Veolia's global approach, showing how the company's 8,000+ employees have integrated safety into their daily routines. What Drives Veolia's Health and Safety Initiatives? For Arnaud, safety comes from a personal place: “As a father of four, ensuring everyone gets home safely is paramount.” This family-first approach reflects Veolia's deep commitment to safety, which has been an ongoing focus for over a decade. “Ten years ago, we launched International Health and Safety Week, where every subsidiary worldwide participates in focused discussions and actions on safety.” This annual event creates a space for employees to assess their work environments, recognize potential risks, and form long-lasting safety habits. But at Veolia, safety isn't just about one week—it's about creating a culture that endures year-round. Fostering a Culture of Safety Every Day While International Health and Safety Week serves as a focal point, Veolia's goal is to make safety a daily priority. “We need to ensure that health and safety are part of our everyday routines, not just something we think about once a year,” Arnaud notes. To keep safety top of mind, managers at Veolia conduct at least six field visits each year, evaluating safety practices and identifying areas for improvement. Employees are encouraged to report near-misses and incidents, creating a culture were speaking up about safety is valued. “It's about creating an environment where people feel safe to voice concerns without fear of judgment,” Arnaud says. “Building trust is essential.” A Cultural Shift: Breaking Old Safety Norms One of Veolia's biggest achievements over the last decade has been a shift in how employees view safety. Arnaud recalls a time when raising safety concerns was often seen as a sign of weakness. Today, those conversations are welcomed and encouraged. “There used to be this mentality of being a 'superman'—toughing it out in unsafe conditions. That's behind us now, but we always stay cautious. The human element means we can never stop paying attention to safety,” Arnaud warns. This shift has been a significant victory for Veolia, but the work isn't finished. The company remains vigilant, continually adapting its safety approach to address both evolving risks and human factors. Celebrating 10 Years of Health and Safety Transformation As Veolia marks the 10th anniversary of International Health and Safety Week, Arnaud reflects on the company's progress. One key success has been the reduction in workplace accidents and the increasing willingness of employees to report safety risks. “Ten years ago, speaking up about safety could be seen as a weakness,” Arnaud explains. “Today, it's a sign of strength and responsibility.” This cultural change has transformed how employees view safety—not as a policy, but as a core value that protects their colleagues and ensures everyone returns home safely. Starting a Safety Culture: Insights for Small Teams For small businesses, building a safety culture might seem overwhelming. However, as Arnaud explains, it's not about financial investment—it's about leadership and intention. “Safety starts at the top. Being an exemplary leader doesn't cost anything. It's about creating policies and following through. Take time to sit with your team and ask, ‘What are the risks?' It's an investment in people, not just resources. Any company, no matter its size, can do this,” Arnaud emphasizes. Manager Visits: Fresh Eyes on the Ground As part of Veolia's commitment to safety, manager site visits provide an opportunity for leadership to spot issues that might have become invisible to regular operators. These visits aren't just procedural—they're a chance to bring fresh perspectives into the conversation. “Even non-operational colleagues—those from HR or finance—ask valuable questions during these visits. Their common sense often uncovers risks that might otherwise go unnoticed. Safety is about asking the right questions, not about being an expert,” Arnaud explains. One Key Takeaway: Lead by Example If there's one message Arnaud wants listeners to take away, it's this: “Be exemplary. It starts with you.” Veolia's success in transforming its safety culture is a powerful reminder that leadership and continuous vigilance are the best tools for creating a safe working environment, no matter the size of the operation. Stay Informed and Stay Safe! As Veolia's journey shows, building a culture of health and safety requires effort, commitment, and teamwork. Whether you are part of a large organization or a small team, Arnaud Valleteau de Moulliac's insights offer valuable lessons for promoting safety in any workplace.

H2O Academy video courses AWT (Association of Water Technologies) Drop By Drop with James  In today's episode, I have a “what if” for you. What if the temperature of the softener regeneration water drops in the wintertime? Now, if you're in an area with a warmer climate year-round, you may not have to worry about this, but for those who live in colder climates, it is something to consider. How could colder water temperatures cause an issue with softener regeneration? Have you ever considered this before? The answer is that water is denser at cooler temperatures. This could be especially important during the backwash step of the softener regeneration. A proper backwash is necessary to ensure efficient softener operation. It loosens the bed, minimizes pressure drop, cleans and classifies the resin, and maintains an even water flow across the cross-sectional area of the resin bed. Backwash flow rates must be high enough to expand the bed by 50% and typically last around 10 minutes or more. If the water is denser because it is colder, the same flow rate used in the warmer months can result in expanding the resin bed even MORE, which could ultimately lead to washing good resin down the drain. Resin manufacturers often have tables that show the required flow rate based upon water temperature. A big picture look at these tables roughly shows that, in Fahrenheit, when the temperature drops to half what it was in the summer months, the required flow rate could drop to half as well. Be sure to always refer to the resin manufacturer's specifications for actual design numbers, though.  2024 Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

What does it mean to be patriotic, or to love your country? Some argue that patriotism is virtuous because it allows us to transcend our selfish needs and act for the good of our community. But others argue that patriotism is overly narrow-minded, arbitrary and sometimes immoral.

"Be curious, maintain an open mind, and maintain your high standards." - Lee Bainbrigge Our water treatment community is a close-knit brotherhood and sisterhood, regardless of where we live. We face similar challenges and share a common goal: to grow and learn from each other. Our latest podcast episode features a conversation that delves into the differences and similarities in Legionella control practices and regulations between the United States and the United Kingdom. This insightful episode features Lee Bainbrigge, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of SMS Environmental Ltd as our charming lab partner.    Key Insights from Lee Bainbrigge on Legionella Control: Differences in Legionella Management and Documentation In both countries, the primary Legionella control methods are keeping water moving and using temperature control. However, the UK places a stronger emphasis on documentation and compliance systems to record control measures. "The types of control you are using, you need to record it, you need to write it down in a compliance system," Lee explained. If a system tests positive for Legionella, it is crucial to effectively and clearly communicate to the client, "There's Legionella in the system. Let's look at doing something about it." In the UK, these communications are meticulously documented and kept as digital records for future reference. Crafting Effective Legionella Legislation When discussing what lawmakers should consider when writing Legionella legislation, Lee advised caution and balance. He noted that the guidance in the USA is relatively proportionate and effective when in the right hands. "Effectively, the guidance you've got in the USA is relatively proportionate... In the right hands, you're going to do a good job with the guidance that you've got," he noted. In contrast, the UK's approach can sometimes be overly prescriptive. Lee suggests a middle ground, advocating for guidance that is neither too relaxed nor too stringent, ensuring efforts and resources truly reduce risk. "I think the most reasonable guidance you could come up with is somewhere in between the two. There are pros and cons on both sides," Lee mentioned. ASHRAE 188 and Its Direction in the USA Lee affirmed that the USA is on the right track with ASHRAE 188 for Legionella control. "Yes, absolutely!" he responded when asked if the US is heading in the right direction. He highlighted the importance of competent professionals conducting Legionella risk assessments to ensure effective control measures. "Make sure that the people that are carrying out your Legionella risk assessment are competent and you're actually getting good advice at the beginning of your control scheme," he advised. Challenges and Technology Opportunities in the UK In the UK, current challenges include maintaining competency and training within the industry, adapting to novel systems like heat pumps, and dealing with reduced water flow in buildings. Lee mentioned the potential of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and remote monitoring, which could revolutionize Legionella control, although current guidance has yet to fully incorporate these advancements. "We have got challenges with... new novel systems coming into our domestic hot and cold water systems. The use of heat pumps and different ways of sourcing energy and reducing water flow are all having an impact on Legionella control," Lee explained. Building a Global Culture of Learning Lee is a strong advocate for collaboration within the industry. He believes in learning from each other and sharing best practices, which can greatly benefit organizations and improve public health protection. "I'm a big believer of us being collaborative in this industry," Lee shared. "When we see what somebody else is doing and establish what's working for organizations, that is just so great to see." Professional Standards and Certifications Lee discussed the significance of the Certified Water Technologist (CWT) certification. SMS Environmental Ltd. values high standards and depth of knowledge within its team, which is why they are strong proponents of the CWT certification. "We don't have in the UK an equivalent qualification specific to water treatment," Lee explained. "We've certainly looked at the CWT and gone, 'this does really what people that have been involved in the organization in the industry far longer than me tell me was very much the way the sector was born.'" Advice for Water Professionals Lee's best advice to water professionals is to "Be curious, maintain an open mind, and maintain your high standards." This approach has helped SMS Environmental Ltd. build strong, honest relationships with their customers and maintain their status as a leading independent company in the industry.

He also explores the presentation of truth and dealing with disagreement, and how the pursuit of peace is integral to the global culture. The episode concludes with a discussion on the value of hard work and attracting people who value peace.

Summary In this episode, John David discusses the misconception that being nice is a character trait. He emphasizes that nice is merely a behavior that people can present, and it does not necessarily reflect their true character. John David highlights the mistake of categorizing people solely based on their niceness and warns against allowing nice people to slip through our boundaries. He also explores the concept of moving into global culture and the challenges and opportunities it presents. Additionally, he touches on the rise of authoritarianism in global culture and the importance of exposure to a life outside of mere survivability. Takeaways Nice is not a character trait, but rather a behavior that people can present. Categorizing people solely based on their niceness can lead to disappointment and allowing the wrong people into our lives. Moving into global culture involves leaving behind the characteristics of our previous cultures and defining our own identity. Exposure to a life outside of mere survivability is crucial for developing new ways of relating and forming meaningful connections. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:43 Nice is Not a Character Trait 02:01 The Mistake of Categorizing People as Nice 03:10 Nice vs. Character Traits 04:08 Qualifying Experiences 05:03 Moving into Global Culture 07:28 Global Culture and Authoritarianism 09:02 Exposure to a Life Outside of Survivability 10:14 Conclusion Here's to the adventure of your life! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Who is the host?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I want more Sx in Humans! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sxinhumanspodcast/message

The conversation delves into the interconnectedness of human beings, products, and the impact of technology on our world. Takeaways Technology and AI have revolutionized photography, allowing artists to take and edit a larger number of photos and shape their creative identity. To become a better artist, it is essential to embrace technology and AI rather than being a passive user. Creating culture at a global level starts with expressing oneself at a local level.

What we consume, whether it's the movies that we watch, the books we read, or the short social media videos we scroll through, it all feeds our minds and souls and informs our sense of reality at a very subliminal level. To Payhuan Shiao, Founder and CEO of Immortal Studios, and lineage holder of the 1000-year-old martial arts fantasy genre of Wuxia, content creation is the artform of providing nutrition for the mind and soul. Payhuan talks with us about awakening the xia (Hero) in us all, the changes he's seeing in the current landscape of global popular culture, and how storytelling is a powerful catalyst to bring optimism and a hope for a better future that's grounded in the improvement of our internal spiritual and physical condition. Born in the East and raised in the West, navigating both worlds, Payhuan explores the spiritual connection between the two, challenges the notion there's a deep divide, and shares that there's more connectivity than separation. Payhuan's presence in the film and entertainment industry highlights the importance of Asian representation in these spaces,  and this episode challenges leaders to think about the evolved perspectives it takes to bring people closer together. To get more content like this and learn more about ignite and PSR go to psr.edu.

Status inequalities persist if they are normalised and culturally celebrated, while critics are shamed, disparaged and ostracised. Culture only changes when masses of people speak out in solidarity, embolden each other with righteous resistance, and collectively establish expectations of equality. I call these “Reverse Dominance Coalitions”.This Substack is split into 3 parts: - A Global Culture of Patriarchy - Reverse Dominance Coalitions (RDCs) - How RDCs Can Foster Gender Equality

In part two of our conversation, he's gonna tell us this is serious stuff and we need to learn it, and he will give us tips on how to learn it. We need to regulate ourselves to be able to have civil discourse that is fiercely civil, or he says We're gonna do great damage to each other, to our planet, and a whole lot. So learning fierce civility can be a matter of life or death. Join me for this conversation, part two of our conversation with Joe Weston.

We all know there's a polarization and a divide in the country and in some ways I think many of us are as tired of talking about possible solutions to the divide as we are talking about the divide in polarization itself. But Joe Weston has mastered the art of discourse and shares solutions for this divide - Civility. But not a soft, weak civility - but a fierce one. Learn how civility can work in this season of our culture and society and why it has to be fierce.

Background: The Korean cultural wave, also known as Hallyu, has become worldwide sensation a in recent years, with Korean art, music, drama, food and more sweeping the globe. Thanks to the fervour over the likes of K-pop and K-beauty, many of the Korean diaspora have seen the culture they have grown up in become a common sight well beyond South Korea's borders. “To see my way of life and how I grew up become a global phenomenon is kind of crazy,” said Irene Kim, the influencer and founder of apparel brand IRENEISGOOD. This week on the BoF Podcast, Kim and Rosalie Kim, lead curator of the “Hallyu! The Korean Wave” exhibit at Victoria & Albert Museum join Yana Peel, Chanel's head of culture and arts to share their experience growing up as part of the Korean community and seeing their culture spread globally.Key Insights: Hallyu has had influence for years, but only recently has been recognised as a core soft power for South Korea, influencing everything from music to skin care. “It is really one of the most dynamic exporters of cultural content,” said Peel. Social media has played a large part in accelerating South Korean trends, allowing what were once micro or geographic-based movements to become more globally accessible. “Because of the era of this digital and social media, we've been able to be discovered by the world,” said Irene Kim. “And we're so excited that we're able to share our way of life.”Cultural influence can come as both an admiration of the culture itself as well as adoption of culture as one's own. “There are two faces to the coin. On the one side… you have the film industry that is really looking at the local narrative but has universal appeal,” says Rosalie Kim. “On the other hand, you have industries like K-pop… where you get to have a foreign influence constantly permeating your own culture and becoming part of [it].”Additional Resources:BoF VOICES 2022: Creativity and Its Power to Change: From South Korea and Japan to Ghana and Ukraine, speakers including Fast Retailing's Koji Yanai, photographer Campbell Addy and stylist Julie Pelipas discussed the power of culture and creativity in the fourth session of BoF's annual conference for big thinkers.To subscribe to the BoF Podcast, please follow this link.
