What are you communicating before you even say a word? In this conversation with Jude Jennison, founder of Leaders by Nature, we explore how unconscious non-verbal behaviour shapes trust, relationships and leadership impact. Jude spent 17 years at IBM before developing her methodology that uses horses to reveal the behaviours leaders may not realise they are bringing into their professional relationships.  We discuss how stress, fear and past experiences can influence behaviour, especially during uncertainty, even when leaders believe they are presenting as calm and confident. She shares why horses are so powerful at revealing incongruence between what we feel and what we project, and how this can expose patterns around trust, control, compassion and clarity. Jude has coached more than 5,000 leaders, written 3 leadership books, and describes horses as the most honest feedback mechanism leaders can engage in. What you will learn: How unconscious behaviours affect leadership impact Why uncertainty amplifies unhelpful default patterns What your non-verbal behaviour reveals about trust and psychological safety in your team The way to give and receive feedback without judgement  The changes that can shift a difficult relationship How aware are you of what you communicate non-verbally when under pressure?

In this episode of The Med-Tech Talent Lab, Mitch Robbins sits down with Jim Miller, Global Leader of Talent Acquisition at Rochester Electronics, to explore what three decades in recruiting have taught him about hiring people instead of resumes.Jim answered a blind ad in the Sunday Boston Globe and made his first placement, a technical writer at Digital Equipment Corporation, before building a career that ran through Fidelity during the Y2K build-out and talent leadership roles at GE, Raytheon, WEX and L3Harris. He explains why understanding the business matters more than recruiting technique, why he only hires relationship recruiters, and why your reputation follows you far longer than your resume ever will.The conversation also explores why hourly hiring has quietly become the hardest job in recruiting, the high school co-op program feeding Rochester's manufacturing floor, how the TN visa opened a talent pool most companies overlook, the hiring mistake he watches companies repeat, and his blunt take on where AI actually helps a talent team and where it simply doesn't.Whether you lead talent acquisition, hire into manufacturing, or are building a career in recruiting, this episode offers practical insights on sourcing when every tool returns the same names, building trust across a team, and why the person responsible for your culture probably belongs closer to the CEO.In this episode, you'll learn:Why understanding the business beats recruiting technique every timeWhat made hourly hiring the hardest job in recruiting after 2021How a high school co-op program became a reliable manufacturing pipelineWhy the TN visa opened a talent pool most companies overlookThe hiring mistake companies repeat: recruiting to basic qualificationsWhere AI genuinely helps a TA team, and where Jim says it falls shortWhy relying on technology leaves recruiters waiting instead of workingThe trust test a mentor ran on Jim, and what it taught him about leadingWhy recruiting is sales, and why it rarely reports where it should...and so much more!Jim Miller on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmiller64/Rochester Electronics on the web: www.rocelec.com

Why is employee AI use rising so quickly while measurable business value remains difficult for many organizations to find? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with David Martin, Senior Partner and Global Leader of People and Organization at BCG, about the firm's fourth annual AI and workforce report. The research surveyed 11,749 employees across 14 countries and points to a growing divide between companies that distribute AI tools and companies that give people a clear plan for changing how work gets done. BCG reports that 74 percent of frontline and nonmanagerial employees now use AI regularly, an increase of 23 percentage points from the previous year. Adoption, however, is only part of the story. The report says 71 percent of employees receive little or no guidance about what to do with the time AI frees, while over half are not redirecting that capacity into strategic work. David describes one of the research findings that best captures the problem. Companies where employees understand the strategic direction but rate their AI tools poorly can realize greater value than organizations with strong tools and limited strategic clarity. Better technology helps, but its impact remains small when employees do not understand which business problem they are solving or how the operating model should change. The report connects clearer strategy with a roughly 25 percentage point increase in measurable business impact when companies redesign workflows from end to end or create new business models. BCG says strong tools without that clarity produce an improvement of roughly five percentage points. Companies that redesign workflows also outperform tool-only adopters by 23 percentage points on measurable business impact, 22 points on time saved, and 20 points on job satisfaction. David explains what redesign looks like in practice. Giving software engineers stronger coding tools may improve part of a development task, but keeping the overall product lifecycle unchanged limits the result. A deeper redesign considers how research, product management, engineering, and decision-making operate together, then changes roles and processes around the capability of AI. The objective is a better business outcome rather than a faster version of the same work. This distinction also explains why promising pilots fail when companies attempt to expand them. A pilot can prove that a model works inside a controlled environment. Wider deployment tests whether the organization surrounding that model works. David cites BCG research indicating that 70 percent of the factors determining whether AI scales with a return relate to people, organization, and process. Talent, operating models, cross-functional teamwork, incentives, learning, and leadership all become part of the result. Measurement must also move beyond adoption. David argues that the final metrics remain familiar business outcomes such as conversion, competitive win rate, price realization, cycle time, and inventory performance. A pilot can use controlled comparison to test whether AI changes one of those outcomes. The missing management step is often accountability. If several executives share ownership but nobody is responsible for the return, the investment can continue without a clear test of success. There is a case for broad experimentation because it can build familiarity and surface ideas. David warns that hundreds of isolated use cases can also fragment investment, increase risk, and save small amounts of individual time without producing company-level value. His preferred balance combines focused governance with structured opportunities such as hackathons, where employees contribute ideas but the organization selects which ones receive investment. The workforce findings add an important human dimension. BCG says 67 percent of regular AI users report higher job satisfaction, while 41 percent also report higher cognitive load. David connects that tension with the effort required to assign work to agents, evaluate quality, and keep those agents operating. He refers to separate BCG research called AI Brain Fry, which found productivity rising as employees managed additional agents until a limiting point. In that research, productivity fell when workers moved beyond managing three agents. Training remains another stubborn problem. The report says 72 percent of employees believe AI has changed skill expectations, and nearly half say their role is moving toward directing and managing AI. Only 36 percent feel they have received enough training, a figure David says has not improved despite new learning programs. His recommendation is in-context training that brings AI into daily work, followed by peer discussion about what worked, what failed, and how behavior should change. The purpose of recovered time may be the most revealing management question of all. David says employees report saving an average of around eight hours a week, but many use that time to perform additional versions of the same tasks. That can become demoralizing if greater output benefits the company without giving employees room for learning, infrastructure improvement, experimentation, or new product work. Leaders need to explain where the capacity should go and why. Clear communication also reduces fear. Automation targets introduced without an explanation of strategy can leave employees assuming that efficiency is a code word for job loss. When leaders explain whether AI is intended to improve customer experience, create growth, reduce cost, or change the business model, employees have a better basis for understanding what is expected of them. If strategic clarity is producing greater value than better tools, should the next AI investment begin with another platform or with a decision about how the work itself must change?

What kind of leader do you need to become now? Leadership has not stood still over the last 12 months. AI is accelerating, workplace expectations are shifting and organisations are navigating growing uncertainty. So this episode explores a deeper question for ambitious professionals - not only what do you want to achieve, but who do you need to become? I reflect on why human capabilities matter even more now, especially confidence, clarity, Cultural Intelligence and challenging conversations, the four pillars at the heart of my work. Plus, in this episode, I share the latest thinking behind the audiobook edition of Become a Global Leader, including why I recorded a new bonus chapter. What you will learn in this episode: The leadership shift from 'what you need to achieve' to 'who you need to become' How AI makes human leadership capabilities more important A new definition for confidence in this context How leaders can create clarity when answers are uncertain How Cultural Intelligence helps leaders develop greater range to respond What recording an audiobook taught me about being human Where do you need to experiment more? Which human capability do you most need to focus on?

What does it really take to influence when you do not have formal authority? In this conversation with Laura Sellers, global executive and team coach for Procurement professionals, we explore why influence, confidence and relationship-building are essential leadership capabilities for professionals who want to elevate their impact across an organisation.  Laura shares why introverted energy is not a barrier to influence or leadership presence, and how some of the most impactful leaders are not the loudest in the room, but those who choose their moment, build strong relationships and communicate with intention. We discuss the shift many professionals need to make as they become more senior, moving from technical expertise into relationship-based influence. This is especially important when you are influencing without authority, working across functions, collaborating remotely or navigating cultural differences. What you will learn in this episode: Why introverted energy can be a strength in leadership and influence How to challenge narrow ideas of what confidence should look like Ethical influence is not manipulation Why relationships are central to influencing without authority 'What does good look like?'- a simple question for complex dynamics How the drama triangle can help you understand conflict patterns Bringing more of yourself into your leadership  How does your natural communication style help you influence, and where might it need to flex? Before you step into a difficult conversation, what role could you be playing in the relationship dynamic? What part of yourself might you be leaving behind when you communicate in a different culture, language or context?

Thirty years ago, the role of the CFO was vastly different. While they still looked ahead to build budgets, they acted more like historians, studying the past performance to manage the books, taxes and audits, but largely kept out of board level email chains. Today, most CFOs at the top of their game barely recognise the environment they started their careers in. They are now less a historian and more a fortune teller, sitting firmly at the right hand of the CEO and guiding big strategic discussions . AI's predictive modelling and big data crunching makes wearing the co-pilot hat for a CFO that much more comfortable as they help navigate their companies through global risks and critical business wide decisions.Joining the host,Tom Parker, to discuss the role of the CFO in an AI future is Patrick Villanova, CFO at BlackLine, Olya Brase, EVP of Finance Optimisation and Governance at Highgate and Gina Gutzeit, Senior Managing Director and Global Leader of the Office of the CFO Solutions practice at FTI Consulting.Sources: FT Resources, Deloitte, Bain & Co, Founders Forum Group, HouseblendThis content is paid for by Blackline and is produced in partnership with the Financial Times' Commercial Department.

Courageous leadership is often misunderstood as being bold, forceful or unafraid.  In this conversation with Diana Osagie, leadership coach, trainer, consultant, author and keynote speaker, we explore a much more human definition of courage at work. Diana's core idea is that courageous leadership means staying human when the situation is challenging you to become something else. Under pressure, many leaders revert to the habits that keep them safe, but those habits may not be what the team or organisation needs. She challenges us to consider whether we care enough to hold up the mirror, tell the truth and help people do excellent work, even when that may feel uncomfortable. Diana also introduces Juggernaut Thinking, her approach to helping leaders and organisations build deeper clarity around what they are for, how they behave under pressure and what they need to stop carrying. Diana is the founder of Courageous Leadership Consultancy and The Academy of Women's Leadership. With 26 years' experience leading secondary education, she brings deep practical insight into leading under pressure, alongside her work as an author of five books on leadership. What you will learn in this episode: How pressure can push leaders into unhelpful habit patterns What it means to stay human when leadership feels difficult What professional love encompasses, and how it supports accountability The role of clean motivations in difficult conversations The cultural dynamics in courageous conversations  A practical structure for speaking truth to power with respect Diana's framework, Juggernaut Thinking  What habits do you default to under pressure? How comfortable are you holding your team truly accountable? What does courageous leadership look like to you?

What if your great work is not seen? Many ambitious professionals believe that if they do excellent work, deliver results and make a meaningful contribution, their impact will naturally be noticed.  It is a belief that often is born from integrity, modesty and a strong work ethic, sometimes from cultural norms, yet as you move towards more senior levels, this belief can quietly hold you back. In this episode, I explore why great work is not always the same as visible impact, and why taking responsibility for your positioning is not about ego, arrogance or self-promotion. This is a challenge I see often with high-performing experienced professionals. You could be solving problems before they escalate, joining the dots across complexity, influencing behind the scenes, and using your skills to move projects forward. Yet much of that contribution can remain invisible, especially to stakeholders outside your immediate team. If you are preparing for your next promotion, stepping into a broader leadership role or aiming to be seen as more strategic, waiting to be noticed is not a strategy, visibility and positioning are both key.  What you will learn in this episode: Why great work does not always speak for itself How invisible work can limit recognition, influence and career progression Why you might feel uncomfortable talking about your impact The difference between self-promotion and strategic positioning How to articulate the value you create to the 'right people'  A three-part structure to talk about your leadership impact This episode is especially relevant if you are capable but unseen, experienced but still doubting yourself, or wondering why your hard work is not creating the career momentum you hoped for. This is an important reminder that excellence needs to be visible in the right rooms, how much of your real value could sit in the work others never see, and how your hard work could need translating into visible leadership impact.  Where are you still hoping your work will speak for itself? What value are you creating that people may not fully see yet? How could you make your thinking and contribution more visible this week? Resources: Explore Victoria's book, Become a Global Leader.

Michael Mellor is the President and Founder of 742 Advisors, a boutique consultancy focused on law firm revenue generation, pitch operations, and go-to-market strategy. He designs revenue operating models that help firms win more work with less friction, covering pitch infrastructure, business development operations, experience management systems, and governance frameworks. Before founding 742 Advisors, Mike served as Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer at Pryor Cashman, where he rebuilt the firm's marketing department and transformed the function from a cost center into a revenue-generating operation. He previously held senior roles at Paul Weiss and Katten and served on KPMG's "Big Deal" team, leading pursuit strategy for some of the firm's largest opportunities. Mike has been recognized by Lawdragon as a Top 100 Global Leader in Legal Strategy & Consulting and received the Legal Marketing Association New York Chapter's Member of the Year Award. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT USING BETTER DATA FOR LAW FIRM BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Law firms can have exactly the sort of experience a prospective client is looking for and still have trouble finding it or remembering it when they need it. The information may be sitting in an old pitch, missing from an attorney bio, coded incorrectly in a firm system, or known only to the lawyer who handled the work. That creates a very practical business development problem when it is time to show a prospect what the firm has actually done. Michael Mellor has spent his career inside law firms looking at why those gaps exist and how firms can close them. His approach starts with getting a clearer picture of the work lawyers have already done, then organizing that information in a way people can actually use. That can make business development easier without requiring another major technology investment and give firm leaders a more accurate view of where the firm has depth and where there may be room to grow. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge Podcast, Elise Holtzman talks with Michael Mellor of 742 Advisors about the information gaps that make business development harder, how law firm culture and incentives affect whether systems actually get used, why better data matters beyond individual pitches, and practical ways firms can start organizing what they already know without making another major technology investment. 3:27 - What the scramble for law firm experience looks like during a pitch 5:28 - Why centralized information matters beyond individual pitches 6:44 - How poor data hygiene affects law firm strategy 8:44 - Auditing lawyers' work to uncover business development opportunities 12:09 - Why business development plans often become a box-checking exercise 14:46 - Why law firm CRMs fail to solve the information problem 18:51 - How origination credit and compensation affect information sharing 22:39 - Starting small with attorney bios and existing matter information 24:27 - Building a useful database before investing in more technology 26:46 - Why lawyers need to document the work they have already done MENTIONED IN HOW BETTER DATA CAN HELP LAW FIRMS WIN MORE WORK 742 Advisors | LinkedIn Michael Mellor on LinkedIn Get connected with the coaching team: hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE This episode is brought to you by the coaching team at The Lawyer's Edge, a training and coaching firm that has been focused exclusively on lawyers and law firms since 2008.

What helps a story travel across cultures? In global organisations influenced by Western communication styles, leaders often rely heavily on data, logic, evidence and carefully structured presentations to create impact. Those things matter, but they are rarely what people remember most.  What people take away is the meaning they attach to your messages, and in leadership, storytelling shapes how you build trust, make ideas memorable, influence stakeholders, communicate change and help people connect with a shared purpose.  Yet a story that resonates in one cultural context may not land in another if the references, humour, metaphors, assumptions or emotional signals do not translate, even if you are communicating within one organisation. In this conversation with Ned Legaspi, cultural intelligence educator, author and former media executive from the Philippines, we explore why storytelling has become such an important leadership communication skill, especially for professionals working across cultures, markets and diverse teams. Ned brings over 30 years of experience in storytelling and cross-cultural communication, including senior media leadership experience and teaching communication. He is the author of Culturally Intelligent Storytelling for Southeast Asian Creators and a CQ Fellow. Together, we explore universal human themes, but why cultural translation is vital if your stories are to land. Hope, loss, family and belonging may be universal human experiences, but the way they are expressed, interpreted and emotionally received is deeply shaped by culture. Ned shares his Bamboo Framework as a practical way to think about culturally intelligent storytelling for leaders, and has clear relevance for global professionals who need their ideas to connect across cultural boundaries. Ultimately, storytelling is about audience awareness, cultural adaptation and the ability to communicate meaning in a way others can recognise and trust. What you will learn in this episode: Why storytelling is now one of the most important communication skills for leaders How stories help make strategy and business messages more memorable and meaningful Why universal themes do not automatically create universal connection How culture shapes attitudes to humour, authority, conflict, belonging and emotional expression Why metaphors, idioms and local references can create distance when they do not translate Ned's Bamboo Framework to help you think about storytelling across cultures Why understanding your own cultural DNA is the starting point for communicating across difference What Western leaders can learn from Southeast Asian perspectives on communication, relationships and time This conversation offers a great reminder that global influence is about understanding the cultural context in which your message lands and shows why culturally adjusted storytelling can help you connect, build trust, and make your ideas memorable. How culturally adaptable are the stories you tell? What idioms, humour, or metaphors could be limiting how your message lands across cultures?

JOST Werke SE Elevator Pitch PresentationIn this Elevator Pitch on seat11a, Romy Acosta, Head of Investor Relations at JOST Werke SE, presents the company's business model, competitive positioning, global footprint and long-term growth ambitions.Mission-Critical Systems for the Commercial Vehicle IndustryJOST is a global supplier of mission-critical systems for the commercial vehicle industry, serving on-highway transportation as well as off-highway applications across agriculture, construction and mining. Its portfolio includes fifth wheels, landing gears, front loaders, hydraulic cylinders and tipping systems—products that directly influence how commercial vehicles perform their intended functions.Strong Relationships with OEMs and End CustomersAn important feature of JOST's business model is its relationship with the end customer. While products are frequently sold through vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, farmers and other end users often actively specify which branded systems should be installed. This creates a strong push-and-pull sales model between JOST, OEMs, distributors and end users.High Barriers to Entry Through Brand, Reliability and Installed BaseThe combination of brand recognition, reliability, a large installed base and close technological integration with OEM platforms creates high barriers to entry. Customers frequently standardise their fleets around specific systems to simplify spare-parts availability, maintenance and training. At the same time, the cost of JOST's components is relatively small compared with the value of the commercial vehicle, while a component failure can prevent the vehicle from performing its core function and create substantial downtime costs.Global Market Leadership Across Core Product CategoriesThese characteristics have contributed to highly concentrated markets. Management states that JOST holds the number-one position in almost all regions for several core product categories, including fifth wheels, landing gears, tipping systems and front loaders.JOST Werke Financial Performance and Global FootprintIn 2025, JOST generated approximately €1.5 billion in revenue, a gross profit margin of 27.7%, adjusted EBIT of around €145 million, an adjusted EBIT margin of 9.5%, and free cash flow of approximately €126 million. The Group employs around 6,500 people and has production facilities and sales offices in more than 35 countries.Diversification Across On-Highway, Off-Highway and AftermarketThe business is also broadly diversified. Around half of sales come from on-highway transportation and half from off-highway markets. Its revenues are distributed across EMEA, the Americas and APAC, while approximately 28% of Group sales are generated through the aftermarket and spare-parts business. Customer concentration is particularly low, with no individual customer accounting for more than 4% of revenue.AMBITION 2030 Growth and Profitability TargetsJOST is now pursuing further growth across its existing and newer product categories. In the first half of 2026, the company achieved 9% organic growth, while its longer-term ambitions target more than €2 billion in revenue by 2030, adjusted earnings per share above €10, and an adjusted EBIT margin within a 10–12% corridor.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Global foreign direct investment rebounded by 14% to $1.6 trillion in 2025, yet the gains remained heavily concentrated in advanced economies, widening the gap with the emerging markets expected to drive the majority of growth in the coming decades. Young populations, rapid digital adoption and expanding consumer bases give emerging economies significant structural advantages, but capital, technology and industrial capacity continue to flow elsewhere. As competitiveness gaps widen, what is separating the front-runners from the laggards, and where will the next engines of growth emerge? This is the full audio from a session at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2026 in Dalian, China on 23-25 June, 2026.

What does neuroinclusive communication look like at work? Many leaders want to create inclusive teams, but do not always know what that means in everyday interactions and communication in meetings and conversations. It is one thing to value difference in principle, but another to understand how communication styles, meeting structures, sensory needs, processing time and psychological safety can be shaped so people feel able to speak and truly contribute. In this conversation with Sara Bagheri, Communication and Voice Consultant, we explore the intersection between communication and neuroinclusion, with a particular focus on ADHD in the workplace. Sara holds a Bachelor of Science in Speech, Language and Voice Therapy and works with professionals and organisations to transform how they communicate in speaking environments such as panels, conferences, podcasts and high-stakes interviews. Together, we explore why neurodiversity is part of the wider human experience of how our brains process information, behaviour and communication differently. Sara shares how ADHD may show up in workplace communication and how behaviours can be misinterpreted. This conversation connects closely to Cultural Intelligence because both require us to question assumptions. Whether we are working across cultures, languages, generations or neurotypes, leaders need to ask- whose communication style is being rewarded, whose voice is being missed, and what conditions allow more people to contribute their ideas? Sara's insights and strategies are a valuable reminder that inclusive communication benefits everyone, and improves clarity, participation and psychological safety for the whole team. What you will learn in this episode: What neurodiversity, neurotypical and neurodivergent mean, and why the language matters How ADHD can show up through communication, interaction and behaviour at work Why directness, urgency, going off on a tangent, or high energy can be misinterpreted   The ways in which meeting preparation, agendas and clear expectations invite better contribution The strengths of those with ADHD and the benefits to the whole team of different communication and participation styles  Ways for managers to support and reduce the cognitive load for neurodiverse team members How meetings can be adapted to support sensory needs and processing time This conversation is ultimately about creating workplaces where individuals have the space to communicate, contribute or lead in their own way. For leaders, this means becoming more aware of your own communication preferences, noticing the styles you may unconsciously reward, and creating spaces where different people can participate without having to mask, over-adapt or exhaust themselves to fit in. What assumptions could you be making about a team member's communication style? Whose voice is missing from your meetings?

What happens to human judgement with AI? Many of you I am sure are being encouraged to use AI more, embed it fully and become even more productive. Yet there is a deeper question sitting underneath the flurry of activity and hype: are we simply outsourcing the very human skills that make us so valuable? In this conversation with Rahim Hirji, author of 'SuperSkills: The Seven Human Skills for the Age of AI' and keynote speaker on AI and human capability, we explore the specific skills to focus on as AI becomes increasingly enmeshed in our work and lives. He shares a powerful leadership tension that AI can help us move faster, but it can also quietly, and without us even noticing, weaken our judgement as we forget where our own thinking begins and ends in 'algorithmic drift', those moments when we slowly hand over our agency. This conversation is not anti-AI, in fact, Rahim talks clearly about being both pro-human and pro-AI, and argues that the real opportunity is to develop an augmented mindset, knowing when to use AI, when not to use it, and where the human needs to remain firmly in the process. Rahim co-founded the skills platform EtonX, led international growth at Quizlet across more than 60 countries, and his SuperSkills research spans more than 200 organisations in over 30 countries. He also writes 'Box of Amazing', a weekly briefing on AI, technology and human capability read by more than 25,000 leaders. What you will learn in this episode: Why judgement has become one of the most important human skills in the age of AI How we are sleepwalking into 'algorithmic drift', unconsciously handing over decision-making Where humans belong in AI-enabled processes How leadership can help their people to focus on their agency and human capabilities The power of real curiosity  The opportunity of the augmented mindset - the power of both AI and humans together Why global adaptability still matters The inherent cultural values and biases in AI  A message of hope Where in your work are you already outsourcing more judgement to AI than you realise? How often do you pause to consider how to answer your questions, and if AI is the right channel?

What if the reason your assignment is stuck is that there is a lack of alignment on the issue? I speak regularly with professionals who are under constant pressure to move at pace, demonstrate progress and deliver tangible and visible solutions. Yet in that rush to act, teams can easily jump into solutions before they have properly aligned on the problem they are trying to solve. In this podcast episode, I explore why better answers start with better questions, and why problem alignment is often skipped in the move to create momentum. I look at what happens when key decision-makers appear to be discussing the same mission, but are actually working from very different assumptions about its purpose and measure of success.  And this is not just a delivery issue because when stakeholders are not aligned on the problem, time is wasted, frustration builds and the team can feel as if they are looping backwards to initial phases which they thought they had completed.  This becomes even more complex in global and diverse teams, where different behavioural preferences, communication styles and cultural norms can influence how people define problems in the first place, express disagreement, manage risk, and their bias for action. What you will learn in this episode: Why teams often jump into solutions before agreeing on the real problem The individual and team impact of misalignment  The aligning challenge - defining the problem The culturally driven behavioural preferences that influence how people approach projects  Which cultural factors can create the greatest resistance, friction and misalignment How uncertainty avoidance can shape how people respond to risk The clarity questions you can use before moving into implementation Where might you be jumping into solutions before agreeing on the problem? How could cultural intelligence help you notice the hidden misalignment before it becomes an issue?

What happens when encouragement becomes a leadership capability, not just a nice thing to do? According to Helen Gibson MBE, encouragement is not soft or superficial, it is where we get our courage from. Many leaders and ambitious professionals are navigating what Helen calls 'the porridge (oatmeal) of life', those thick, heavy moments where progress feels slow, energy is low, you're losing momentum, and the way forward is not always clear. In complex organisations and uncertain times, this can show up as pressure, decision fatigue, or simply feeling stuck.  This is when encouragement is needed, as something we can practise, notice, capture and offer to others, not just receive.  In this conversation with Helen Gibson MBE, award-winning global entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, coach, international business leadership expert and author of 'Go for Goosebumps', we explore how encouragement can help individuals, teams and organisations move forward through difficult moments. Helen's leadership experience spans complex transformation programmes for governments around the world, including counter-terrorism, corruption, cybercrime, health crises and justice reform. As the former CEO of her family business, she led values-driven frontline change across nearly 30 countries for clients including the UK Government, the NHS, the EU and the United Nations. Recognised with an MBE for services to international trade, Helen brings deep experience in resilience, international business, women in leadership and meaningful change. What you will learn in this episode: Why encouragement matters in leadership, especially now How experiencing goosebumps (shivers of excitement) can signal momentum What happens when we get stuck in the 'porridge (oatmeal) of life' Her traffic light model to help you know where to move forward Showing people you care before trying to prove what you know How stories and legacy questions help people reconnect with what matters What to do if you have no time for the perfect pause 'Victories folders' to help build your evidence for confidence  How leaders can best encourage themselves and others  Where are you currently walking through 'the porridge of life'? What signs of encouragement might you be missing? How could you encourage someone else this week?

What happens when senior leaders have the conversations they rarely get to have? Many senior leaders carry questions, pressures and responsibilities that are not always visible from the outside. They may be managing organisational change, complex teams, at the same time as personal and family commitments and challenges. While they juggle difficult decisions, there is the pressure to appear composed, even when they are working things out themselves. In this podcast episode, I share my reflections and observations from my first senior leader dinner, a confidential and intimate evening for women leaders to come together, put job titles and organisations aside, and have a different kind of conversation about the realities of leadership today. This was not a networking evening, a general catch up, or even a formal leadership event. It was a space for honest conversation, good food, peer connection and deeper thinking in a very special experience. Respecting the confidentiality of the room, I draw on the broad themes that emerged from the dinner, exploring why leadership and life are not separate conversations, why senior leaders need trusted spaces to share, and how behaviours, language and signalling can shape the culture experienced by the people they lead. What you will learn in this episode: Why senior leaders need spaces for honest conversations beyond the usual networking places The human realities of leadership that are often hidden beneath visible exteriors Why leadership and life are not separate conversations How the work-life blend can be a more useful idea than work-life balance The opportunity to 'give permission' through signalling behaviour How language can reveal hidden assumptions about women in leadership The value of confidential peer spaces where leaders can share honestly Where do you currently go to have open conversations about the realities of your leadership? What are you carrying as a leader that is invisible to others? Resources: Who do you know who would value Victoria's next senior leader dinner for women?

Difficult conversations are rarely difficult because we don't know what to say.More often, they fall apart because we have the conversation at the wrong time, in the wrong way, or without realizing that the other person is experiencing the situation very differently than we are.Fortunately, this week's guest shares a practical framework for navigating challenging conversations without creating more conflict. Instead of focusing on "winning" the discussion, you'll learn how to create the conditions for people to listen, collaborate, and move forward together.Victoria Rennoldson is a global leadership expert, executive coach, and author of Become a Global Leader. She helps leaders communicate across cultures, build stronger relationships, and handle difficult conversations with greater confidence and empathy.In this conversation, we explore why difficult conversations so often break down, how culture and communication styles shape conflict, and a simple framework that helps leaders replace defensiveness with genuine dialogue and better decisions.Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction(01:56) Why most difficult conversations fail before they even begin(05:18) Preparing yourself before addressing conflict(09:41) The hidden emotional baggage that shapes difficult conversations(13:27) How culture influences communication, conflict, and feedback(17:42) Three communication differences every manager should recognize(22:06) How to avoid misreading what someone is really communicating(26:11) Practical ways to create safer, more productive conversations(28:09) [Extended Episode Only] The BRIDGE framework for difficult conversations(35:02) [Extended Episode Only] How to avoid misunderstandings across different communication styles(37:13) [Extended Episode Only] Why simple check-ins uncover what meetings often miss

Join us as we explore the essential mindset shifts that distinguish true global leaders from those who merely manage international teams.Discover the importance of cultural understanding, the balance between core values and adaptability, and how to leverage conflict as a competitive advantage.

What does it take to grow into leadership? Leadership can look impressive from the title, but the reality is often far more complex. It can mean making decisions without having all the insight, shouldering responsibility without certainty, holding competing stakeholder needs, and recognising when the path you once wanted is no longer the right one. In this conversation with Helen Brocklebank, Chief Executive of Walpole, the sector body for the UK's leading luxury brands, we explore leadership as an evolving apprenticeship rather than the end goal or title you finally achieve. Since becoming Chief Executive in 2017, Helen has led significant growth and transformation, strengthening Walpole's advocacy, sustainability leadership and industry influence. She spearheaded the British Luxury Sustainability Manifesto, and serves on the Board of the European Cultural and Creative Industries Alliance and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Women in Business Committee. Helen shares openly how a long-held ambition to run her own business ultimately taught her that success on paper does not always mean alignment in practice. That experience became a pivotal moment in understanding her values, strengths and the kind of leadership role in which she could make her greatest contribution. Together, we explore why leadership starts with knowing yourself, why physical strength, creativity and cultural curiosity can support better decision-making, and why listening is the essential first step in communication, storytelling and stakeholder influence. A core thought that emerged from this conversation- every role, relationship and difficult experience can become part of your leadership apprenticeship if you are willing to notice what it is teaching you. What you will learn in this episode: How to recognise when career ambitions no longer align with your strengths, values or wellbeing Why self-leadership is the foundation for leading others effectively The role strength, energy and personal habits play in sustaining leadership performance How your learning can strengthen empathy, problem-solving and strategic thinking Storytelling is fundamental to leadership How listening helps leaders unlock challenging situations The role of candid, uncomfortable conversations  Why leadership is a behaviour, not a job title What is your current role teaching you as part of your 'leadership apprenticeship'?

Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda Award Winner International Activist as the Executive Director of CIL!  With his extensive experience as a global advocate for disability rights and his innovative vision, Dr. Pineda is set to lead the Center for Independent Living into an exhilarating new chapter of empowerment and inclusion.Victor Santiago Pineda was born in Caracas, Venezuela, At the age of two, Pineda was hospitalized with a high fever and for the next five years he demonstrated gradual weakening of his skeletal muscles. By age four, his weakened muscles caused him to fall repeatedly and by age seven, he stopped walking completely. His muscular deterioration would continue and eventually affect his breathing. By the time he was in high school, he needed to use a ventilator at night, and by the time he started his doctoral program in his late-twenties, he required a ventilator twenty-four hours per day.As a child, Pineda was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA-Type II), a form of muscular dystrophy. However, as an adult, he was examined by a neurophysiologist who, with the use of electromyography, determined that there was no evidence to suggest Spinal muscular atrophy. The specific cause of Pineda's muscle weakness was identified as collagenopathy VI, resulting from an extremely common genetic mutation.Pineda attended Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, California, and was selected by his graduating class as a commencement speaker. Upon graduating in 1997, Pineda attended the California Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF). As a freshman at the University of California Berkeley, he received specialized support services provided by the Disabled Students Office (DSP) and participated in the Disabled Students Residence Program (DSRP).While at UC Berkeley was elected senator for the ASUC student government, defended ethnic studies, with the leadership of Andrew Berk, he helped resurrect the long dormant Disabled Students Union (DSU). During this time he established the Disability Media Initiative (DMI) and the Pineda Foundation to provide 21st century workforce skills to youth with disabilities. Pineda earned a B.A. in political economy, a B.S. in business administration and, eventually, a master's degree in city and regional planning (MCP) with a concentration in regional economic development. He then accepted an internship in Washington, D.C., where he served as a summer associate at the US Treasury's Department of International Affairs.Pineda was awarded the Paul G. Hearne Award.Pineda's "It's About Ability" projectwas honored in Montenegro for the Best Humanitarian Action by UNICEF.Also in 2011, he received the prestigious Mark Bingham Award for Excellence in Achievement by a Young Alumnus/a, Cal Alumni Association for his work in education and human rights.© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!2026 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBAS

What happens when leaders can no longer offer certainty? Many professionals I speak to are navigating continuous waves of change with organisational restructures, constantly shifting priorities, AI changing ways of working, economic uncertainty and changing customer expectations all part of everyday working life. For many, it feels less like steering towards a destination on the high waves, constantly adjusting course, with no chance of calm seas. In this podcast episode, I explore one of the biggest questions that I hear emerging: how do leaders create certainty for their teams when nobody can confidently predict what comes next? As teams adapt to permanent change, leadership itself is changing too. The old expectation that leaders should always have the answers is not realistic.  Drawing on reflections from the recent CIPD Festival of Work conference, conversations with senior leaders and my own coaching work, I explore why your clarity has become one of the most important leadership skills in uncertain times. What you will learn in this episode: Why uncertainty means leaders have to be like Wimbledon tennis players  The difference between creating certainty and creating clarity How leaders can communicate direction honestly, while acknowledging what is still unknown Experimentation - a more effective leadership mindset than forecasting  The importance of alignment, communication consistency and transparency when priorities are changing What your team need most from you The questions you can answer to create clarity How the 4 Pillars of Global Leader Communication can help you through uncertainty  How can you create greater clarity for your team this week?

What does it mean to find your voice? Your ability to communicate confidently, influence others and share your perspective has never been more important, yet finding your voice is far more than about being a confident public speaker. It is about recognising the value of your contribution and having the confidence to share it. In this empowering conversation with Gill McKay, award-winning TEDx speaker, author and speaker coach, we explore what it means to find your voice and why so many people struggle to do so, and end up 'staying small'. With a background in neuroscience, Gill has helped hundreds of people overcome their imposter syndrome to share their ideas and stories with greater impact. She is passionate about helping people recognise that their views and messages matter, and that they can create an impetus for change through sharing their voice. Together, we explore the internal narratives that cause people to play small, the impact of dominant voices in teams, and why curiosity, confidence and a reframe on service can help people move beyond fear and self-doubt. Gill's message rings clear- your voice matters.  What you will learn in this episode: Why capable professionals hold themselves back from speaking How organisational culture can influence who speaks and who stays silent Confidence is built through action, rather than waiting until you feel ready The mindset shift that can move you forward  How curiosity can help you overcome fear, self-doubt and limiting beliefs The role of silence, listening and thoughtful contribution in effective communication Where might you be holding back a perspective that could add value?

What if being heard was not about speaking more? Many professionals I work with tell me they want to be more vocal in meetings, contribute with greater confidence, and ensure their ideas are recognised.  Yet beneath those goals often sits a deeper challenge. It is not a lack of expertise, experience or valuable ideas. It is the hesitation, the overthinking and the fear of judgement, and even the question of whether their perspective is good enough to share.  This is the uncertainty that comes before your contribution ever surfaces. Maybe you recognise this too? In this podcast episode, I explore why being heard starts long before you enter the meeting room. We look at what creates the opportunity for others to listen to you, and why waiting for permission, certainty, or the perfect moment may be holding you back more than you realise. This is a simple but powerful shift- being heard is not about speaking more. It is about recognising the value of your contribution, trusting yourself to make it, and crafting your own conditions for your voice to have impact. What you will learn in this episode: Why the challenge isn't your communication How fear, overthinking and perfectionism can quietly stop you from contributing A practical way to deal with the doubts before important conversations How clarity creates confidence The hidden cost of staying silent How to tap into leadership presence  Strengthen your presence and influence in meetings One of the strongest themes throughout this episode is that many professionals are already capable, experienced and knowledgeable enough to credibly share their ideas.  The challenge is not capability, but permission, specifically the permission we do or do not give ourselves. Ultimately, being heard is not about waiting for the perfect moment, it is about trusting yourself enough to create it. What valuable perspective, idea or challenge might your team be missing if you remain silent?

Keir Starmer struts across the G7 stage in Evian — but with a resigned Defence Secretary, a furious Armed Forces Minister, and a Chief of the Defence Staff warning that Britain can barely afford to train its own troops, world leaders are greeting him with what Sir David Davis bluntly calls "ill-disguised pity."Former head of the British Army, Lord Dannatt, joins Julia in the studio to dissect the defence spending catastrophe, drawing a chilling parallel with 1935 — the last time Britain was this exposed. He warns that if we fail to deter Russia now, the cost of hot war will be one hundred times greater than what we are currently refusing to spend.Sir David Davis tears into the Iran deal, calling it a "pathetic negotiation" that has handed Tehran a revenue stream it never knew it had, set a dangerous precedent over international waters, and left Gulf states quietly furious.Plus — Starmer's social media ban for under-16s: good intentions or yet another half-baked headline grabber with zero detail?Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

While Generative AI is already reshaping customer service and claims, the real opportunity lies deeper in pricing, reserving, and portfolio management. Yet for most insurers, the full potential of Agentic AI remains largely untapped. In this episode, Charlie Samolcyzk, Technology Sales Lead speaks with Duncan Anderson, Global Leader, Technology to explore how Agentic AI is set to redefine the technical core of insurance, shifting not just how work gets done, but who owns decisions and how expertise is applied. Having witnessed every major technological shift in the industry, Duncan believes we are now at a genuinely unprecedented inflection point. Together, they discuss the distinction between Generative and Agentic AI and what it means for performance, capital management and competitive advantage.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews Michèle Hecken shares how she built Alpha Translations into a global business serving top law firms while raising two young children after moving from Germany to Canada. She explains how creating systems and empowering her team allowed her to work just 4–10 hours a week for 15 years. Michèle reveals how her company was building early large language models long before today's AI boom and why she chose to sell instead of reinventing the business. She discusses the challenges of surviving the 2008 financial crisis, rebuilding stronger, and creating a company that could run without her involvement. Listeners will learn valuable lessons on leadership, delegation, mindset, business exits, and designing a business that supports the life they truly want. The Art of Offboarding: How to Transform Your Business to Run Without You by Michèle Hecken is a practical guide for entrepreneurs aiming to move away from day-to-day operations and create a business that runs independently. It focuses on the power of intentional delegation and structured exit from daily tasks to unlock greater freedom, focus, and sustainable growth. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Michèle Hecken, the hardest thing in growing a small business is cash flow. She explains that even when a business appears successful, owners constantly face decisions about where to invest money, whether new initiatives will generate returns, and how to maintain enough cash reserves to navigate uncertainty. Michèle believes that managing consistent cash flow is critical because it gives business owners the flexibility to experiment, survive challenges, and continue growing without putting the company at risk. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Michèle Hecken's favorite business book is Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott. She says the book had a significant impact on how she led her business, particularly in the areas of communication, feedback, and team culture. Michèle values its practical approach to having honest conversations, addressing issues early, and giving constructive feedback effectively. The book influenced her so much that she referenced some of its concepts and tools in her own book about helping entrepreneurs build businesses that can run without them. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Michèle Hecken recommends learning from a variety of sources rather than relying on a single resource. One podcast she particularly enjoys is the The Mel Robbins Podcast, praising Mel Robbins for her practical insights on mindset and personal growth. She also highly recommends John Warrillow and his podcast Built to Sell Radio, which features valuable lessons from business owners who have successfully scaled and exited their companies. Beyond podcasts, Michèle emphasizes continuous learning through books, coaching, entrepreneurial communities, and implementing what you learn, noting that the real value comes not from consuming information but from applying it to your business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Michèle Hecken shares that the number one tool to grow a small business is your mindset. She believes that without the right mindset, even the best tools and strategies will fail you. She also highly recommends Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott for building honest communication and a strong team culture. Above all, she encourages every entrepreneur to trust themselves and filter every resource through the lens of what truly works for their own business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Michèle Hecken shares that the advice she would give herself on day one of starting out in business is to trust yourself because you already know what the right thing is to do. She reflects that even though everyone told her she was crazy for doing things differently, her instincts always led her in the right direction. She also emphasizes giving yourself permission to be courageous and not spending too much money on consultants who may not always know your business better than you do.

What does resilience really look like? I meet many professionals today who are navigating wave after wave of change: Reorganisations, shifting priorities, business uncertainty, technological disruption and growing pressure to do more with less have become familiar features of organisational life. Yet while resilience is frequently talked about, it is often misunderstood. In this conversation with Julian Roberts, executive coach, author and host of the Helping Organisations Thrive podcast, we explore what resilience really means for leaders and teams operating in increasingly fragmented environments. After a 20-year career in senior roles at global organisations including Heinz, Yoplait and Johnson & Johnson, Julian founded Julian Roberts Consulting, specialising in helping leaders and teams thrive under pressure. He is the creator of the Team Resilience Diagnostic Tool and author of Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams. Together, we discuss why resilience is not about simply pushing through adversity, why 'grit' can sometimes become counterproductive, and how leaders can create the conditions for individuals and teams to navigate uncertainty more effectively. At the heart of this conversation is an important shift in perspective. Resilience is not a fixed trait that some people possess and others lack. It is a capability that can be developed, strengthened and intentionally cultivated, both individually and collectively. What you will learn in this episode: Why uncertainty and constant change are creating new leadership challenges for teams The difference between healthy resilience and what Julian describes as 'toxic resilience' Why resilience is not about simply working harder or pushing through difficulty Practical habits that help strengthen personal resilience, including gratitude, mindfulness and community How leaders can create greater resilience through purpose, meaning and clarity Why understanding the psychology of change helps leaders support people more effectively How diversity of thought strengthens a team's ability to navigate uncertainty and solve complex problems Why healthy challenge and critical thinking are essential leadership capabilities in today's workplace One of the strongest themes throughout this conversation is that resilience is not about individual toughness. Many organisations focus on helping individuals become more resilient, but resilient teams are created through something different. Purpose, trust, psychological safety, challenge, diverse perspectives and strong relationships all play a role in helping teams perform well under pressure. Ultimately, resilience is not about avoiding storms, it is about developing the capability to navigate them with greater clarity, adaptability and confidence. When faced with uncertainty, do you tend to push through harder, or create space to learn, reflect and adapt? What practices could help you strengthen your own resilience and support the resilience of those around you?

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Stocks dropped as Middle East tensions flared up with new US attacks on Iran, weighing on markets already grappling with a selloff in richly valued tech stocks. Oil climbed. The latest US strikes have injected more volatility into global financial markets and threaten to further crimp oil supplies. We speak to Mark Cudmore, Global Leader of the Markets Live Team at Bloomberg News. Plus - The American military launched strikes against "multiple" targets in Iran for the second straight day after President Donald Trump accused the country of dragging out talks on an interim peace deal. US Central Command said on X that it had begun "additional self-defense strikes" at 5:15 p.m. New York time on Wednesday. About four hours later, in another post, Centcom declared the operation complete and that military surveillance systems, air defense sites and communication systems were the targets. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Lanhee Chen, Fellow in American Public Policy Studies at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

When people talk about challenging conversations, most assume the difficulty lies in what needs to be said. Yet in my experience, whether working with senior leaders, high-potential professionals or global teams, the real challenge often begins long before the conversation starts. Recently, while leading a workshop for a women's leadership network, I was struck by the types of conversations participants described as challenging. They were not primarily about conflict, disagreement or confrontation, instead, they centred on accountability, role clarity, priorities, influence and managing without authority. This episode explores a powerful reframe: what if challenging conversations are not fundamentally a communication problem, but a confidence, clarity and self-leadership challenge? We explore what sits beneath difficult workplace conversations and why planning how you will engage in them often matters more than the words themselves. At the heart of this episode is a simple but important insight- challenging conversations become easier when we stop focusing solely on what we want to say and start paying greater attention to how we lead ourselves before we enter the room. What you will learn in this episode: Why many challenging conversations are actually clarity and confidence challenges rather than about communication How to prepare for challenging conversations before they happen Why intention matters more than simply trying to 'win' the conversation A practical framework to help you prepare for the discussion How to reduce tension and create better outcomes Understanding the source of disagreements and how to create solutions to move forward A practical approach to building commitment without forcing agreement What challenging conversation are you currently avoiding, and what might be sitting underneath that hesitation? Are you entering difficult conversations focused on your position, or focused on understanding the broader goal? What would change if you approached your next challenging conversation with greater curiosity rather than certainty?

How can you communicate, collaborate and build trust across generations at work? This episode addresses this leadership challenge that many organisations are quietly navigating, but not always naming clearly. As workplaces become more complex, AI accelerates change, and expectations around leadership evolve, generational differences can easily become a source of misunderstanding, frustration or missed opportunity. Yet beneath the stereotypes about Gen Z, Millennials or Gen X, there is a much more nuanced conversation to have about identity, experience, communication and human connection. In this conversation with Alastair Greener, generational communication expert, founder of Present Yourself communications training, event MC, moderator, and current President of the Professional Speaking Association, we explore what really shapes generational behaviours. We examine why curiosity, not judgement, may be one of the most important leadership capabilities for the future. Alastair has worked in communications for over 30 years, with a background in TV presenting and performance, and helps organisations create stronger relationships and more cohesive workplaces through effective generational communication. His recently published book, Generationally Speaking, explores how generations communicate and what organisations need to understand to bridge differences more effectively. At the heart of this conversation is an important reminder: generational tensions are rarely only about age. They are often about expectations, upbringing, context, communication styles and the environments leaders create around people. What you will learn in this episode: Why generational stereotypes can create more barriers than understanding How communication gaps between generations can quietly impact productivity, engagement and retention Curiosity as one of the most powerful leadership skills when working across generations The role onboarding, expectations and workplace culture play in building trust with younger generations entering organisations Practical ways leaders can create stronger cross-generational relationships and more inclusive team dynamics Designing conversations and environments for social connection, learning and team Why future-focused leaders will need to embrace continual adaptation One of the strongest themes throughout this conversation is the tension between stereotypes and understanding. It is easy to describe generations with labels, but these don't help us build stronger relationships. Instead, understanding comes from asking better questions and recognising the wider influences shaping how people communicate and behave. Where might assumptions about generations be influencing how you communicate with your team?

This week on That Tech Pod, Kevin and Laura talk with David Turner, Global Leader of Data & Analytics and Co-Leader of AI at FTI Consulting, about what it really means to operate at the center of data, AI, and high-stakes problem solving.David's career path might look straightforward, from Arthur Andersen to Capital One and then more than two decades at FTI, but he explains it was less about a master plan and more about finding the right environments and teams. Consulting, for him, became the place where he could continuously solve new, complex problems, often stepping in when companies are facing moments that feel existential.The conversation dives into AI quickly, cutting through the hype. David focuses on what actually works: real use cases, hands-on experience, and teams actively experimenting with tools. His view is that AI isn't something you can understand from a slide deck. It's a skill you build by using it, and the companies moving fastest are the ones sharing what's working internally. One of the biggest themes is how AI is reshaping the economics of consulting. If technology compresses time to insight, what happens to the billable hour? David doesn't see a clean break, but he does see a shift. Expertise becomes more valuable, and firms will need to get more creative with pricing, blending traditional models with outcome-based approaches depending on the work. They also spend time on risk, shaped in part by David's early experience during the collapse of Arthur Andersen. That moment reinforced that no firm is immune, and it continues to influence how he balances innovation with caution, especially in today's AI-driven environment. This is a grounded look at where AI is actually making an impact and where the real challenges still are.David Turner is the Global Leader of Data and Analytics and Co-Leader of AI at FTI Consulting, and now serves as the firm's Chief Technology Officer for client-facing technology. He works with executive teams on high-stakes challenges across investigations, litigation, compliance, and corporate transformation, helping organizations turn data into a real asset using advanced analytics and responsible AI. Over the course of his career, he's advised Fortune 500 companies, global law firms, and public sector clients, and has played a key role in shaping FTI's approach to AI and client-facing solutions.

"A CV is not a list of jobs; it is a story of capability." A CV is not just a list of jobs; it is a story of your capability. Most people believe a degree alone will get them hired, but in an AI-saturated market, academic theory is failing. In this episode, our guest reveals the invisible asset of emotional intelligence—the one skill a machine can never replicate. I learned about the critical misalignment between education and employment with Dr. Tamara Nall, a Harvard MBA and Global Leader in AI-Human Relationships Movement.  Tamara explains why your ability to read a room and lead with presence carries more weight than your GPA. We explore how to stop applying into the 'black hole' and start building a relationship map that advocates for your true character. Key insights from this eye-opening conversation include: Why community service, freelance work, and "warm leads" carry more weight than your GPA. How to stop applying into the "black hole" and start building a network that advocates for you with a relationship map. Why the way you spend your time after graduation defines the initial trajectory of your career. Why artificial intelligence can't answer the case-based questions that reveal your true values and character during your interview. Whether you are a recent graduate or a professional looking to pivot, this conversation offers a blueprint for turning your experience into a winning story of capability.

It's been a week of escalating rhetoric from President Donald Trump with regards to Iran, starting with threats to power plants and bridges on Monday morning. By Tuesday, Trump had posted on Truth Social that 'A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.' But then as the Tuesday deadline approached, Trump tried a different tack and announced a two-week ceasefire. Will the U.S. and Iran soon reach an agreement to end the war? USA TODAY White House Correspondent Zac Anderson joined The Excerpt to share his insights.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending a note to podcasts@usatoday.com.Episode transcript available here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In New York and London, European and Middle Eastern countries tried to develop a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has largely been closed since the war in Iran began. Following President Trump's address predicting two to three more weeks of war, the U.S. and Israel continued to bomb Iran, and Iran continued its strikes on Gulf countries and Israel.
