Podcasts about graduate schools

I am so excited for my conversation with my guest, Amanda Kenderes. Amanda has discovered something entirely new about communication that I am pumped to share with you.It's called Talk Types.What if the way we talk and who we are as people are intrinsically linked? If we understand our talk type and others, we can understand how to better communicate with one another, and as a result, have better personal and professional relationships.During the podcast today, Amanda and I chatted about:Why we communicate to begin with; what are the goals of communication?What Talk Types are and the six different talk types that exist.How we discover our personal Talk Type.How we bridge the gap between Talk Types if we are on one of the Type and our spouse, partner, boss, friend, or colleague on the other. How we can leverage our talk types during a key presentation or negotiation.Here is more about Amanda:Amanda Kenderes is a professor of interdisciplinary studies at Humphreys University. She holds a Ph.D. in Social Science and Comparative Education from the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at UCLA. She grew up in North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe.If the Brave Women at Work Podcast has helped you personally or professionally, please be share it with a friend, colleague, or family member.

Welcome to another episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD. This week, host David Mendes sits down with Dr. Rob Lion, professor of Human Resource Development at Idaho State University, expert in culture, leadership development, and organizational performance, and co-owner of Black River Performance Management. With over two decades of experience guiding individuals and organizations, Rob shares his personal journey from early leadership roles to consulting, and how his curiosity led him to focus not just on systematic solutions, but on the human factors that drive real, lasting change in organizations. In this conversation, Rob unpacks the realities of workplace culture, the true meaning of leadership, and the importance of behavioral science in making organizational improvements actually “stick.” For grad students and early-career researchers, he offers honest insights about the professional world outside academia, including the value of humility, self-awareness, and team skills in landing your first job—and thriving in your career afterwards. Whether you're interested in active leadership, building workplace culture, or just starting to explore where your PhD might take you, this episode is packed with practical advice and new ways of thinking about the future.   Dr. Rob Lion is a professor of human resource development at Idaho State University. He specializes in culture, leadership development, strategy, and organizational performance. In addition to his teaching and research, Rob and his wife, Angie Lion, own Black River Performance Management. With over 20 years in leadership and organizational development, he is recognized as a visionary leader who promotes sustainable, actionable science-backed solutions for individuals and organizations. Rob is a dynamic speaker and consultant who understands how to integrate the theory and teachings of best practices into organizational practices, resulting in strategic and sustainable improvement solutions. As a professor and researcher specializing in the psychological and behavioral sciences, Rob provides expert guidance to clients, addressing their “people” needs, obstacles, and opportunities. What we covered in the interview:  Embrace Humility & Keep Learning: No matter how advanced your degree, entering a new work environment means there's still much to learn. Being open, humble, and ready to adapt is key to long-term success and professional growth.  Practice Teamwork & Emotional Intelligence: Technical knowledge opens doors, but your ability to collaborate, communicate, and navigate group dynamics determines how far you'll go. Emotional intelligence is a crucial differentiator for hiring managers today.  Take Initiative in University & Beyond: Universities are a “petri dish” for low-risk leadership experiences—get involved beyond the lab or classroom! Organizing events, working with clubs, or connecting with alumni not only build your resume but also expand your professional mindset and network.  Whether you're eyeing your first job outside academia or aiming to grow within an organization, this episode has advice you can act on today!

She is currently pursuing her PhD in neuroscience and teaches yoga in Montreal. What we covered in the interview:  Surviving—and Thriving After—Burnout Sylvie opens up about the long hours, the isolation, the pressure to publish, and the physical and mental toll of academic life. She's candid about her challenges, including reaching out for professional help and the rocky moments with her supervisor. But she also shares the silver linings: with distance, support, and the right tools, things truly can get better.  The Brain Science of Stress & Calm Get a crash course on the brain's stress response: the difference between your “fight-or-flight” sympathetic nervous system and your “rest-and-digest” parasympathetic state.

Her approach is accessible, science-backed, and totally judgment-free.  Breathwork You Can Use Today You don't need a fancy app or special equipment. Sylvie generously shares TWO practical breathwork exercises you can do anytime—during a tough moment at your desk, before a presentation, or just when you need to dial down the stress. Want a guided recording? DM Sylvie on Instagram!  If you're feeling alone, pressured, or lost—this episode is for you.

The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law. By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

Yet the data suggests that on average authoritarian governments do not perform better, and on many measures actually do worse than democracies. So why does this idea persist? Join Nic Cheeseman as he talks to Nomi Claire Lazar and Jeremy Wallace about their new article on Resisting the Authoritarian Temptation. Why is democracy not delivering? Why is authoritarianism not the answer? And what new models exist that can be used to deliver a greener and more inclusive future?

Michelle Young discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. Michelle Young, a journalist and professor of architecture at Columbia University, spent four years researching The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland, which is available at https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-art-spy-michelle-young?variant=43046200836130. A veritable female Monuments Man, Valland has, until now, mostly been written out of the annals, despite bearing witness to history's largest art theft. While Hitler was amassing stolen art for his future Führermuseum, Valland secretly worked to stop him. Michelle Young is an award-winning journalist, author, and professor whose writing on looted and lost art has appeared in Hyperallergic, The Forward, and The Wilson Quarterly. She is a graduate of Harvard College in the History of Art and Architecture and holds a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, where she is a professor of architecture. Rose Valland was one of the most medalled women from all of WWII Hollywood optioned Rose's memoir and it became the Burt Lancaster caper The Train 3. Rose witnessed the Nazis burn approx 500 modern paintings of art and it really happened Rose was lesbian and started living with Joyce Heer, her life partner, starting in the mid 1930s.  Rose was spying in the field, as well as in the museum. She also worked directly with Resistance operatives, which is how she directly helped sabotage the last train of art intended to leave France, carrying 1000 paintings.  One of the very first things the Nazis did when they occupied a country was to loot its art, in particular from Jewish families. There is a direct line between art looting and the extermination camps This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

In this episode, Zach sits down with friend and colleague Andrew Walker, Director of Industry Communications at GMAC, to unpack the latest insights from the 2025 Prospective Students Survey. They dive into what 5,000 prospective business school candidates around the world are thinking about today — from the growing demand for hands-on AI experiences to the rising importance of human skills, like grit and adaptability. You'll hear why more candidates are prioritizing ROI over program rankings, how financial planning is evolving, and why in-person programs are making a surprising comeback. Whether you're actively applying, just starting to explore your options, or simply curious about what's shaping the future of graduate management education, this conversation offers data-backed insights and practical takeaways you won't want to miss. Takeaways: 46% of business school candidates prioritize AI experiences in their curriculum. Employers value human skills like emotional intelligence and adaptability alongside technical skills. Cost remains a significant barrier for candidates considering business school. Only 29% of candidates prioritize program rankings first when researching schools. Candidates are increasingly looking for direct information from school websites, not AI. The MBA remains the most preferred degree, but interest in business master's programs is growing. Candidates prefer full-time in-person programs over hybrid or online formats post-pandemic. Financial aid is becoming a more significant part of funding education for candidates. Candidates are considering a multi-dimensional approach to their return on investment from business school.

McMaster, as they discuss the war in Ukraine, British and European politics, and the future of the transatlantic relationship. Reflecting on the special relationship between the US and UK, Johnson provides his thoughts on how the relationship is evolving and the importance of US-UK cooperation in tackling Chinese aggression, as well as the broad nature of geostrategic competition with the axis of aggressors of North Korea, China, Russia and Iran, the need for a strong coordinated international response to Russian aggression and why we should continue to care deeply about the war in Ukraine. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS The Right Honorable Boris Johnson served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2019 to 2022. Johnson first entered Parliament in 2001, representing Henley for the Conservative Party. He quickly rose to become Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party in 2003.

In this episode, Shaifali Aggarwal, founder and CEO of Ivy Groupe MBA Admissions Consulting, dives deep into MBA application essays and school interviews. She discusses the importance of each in the application process, emphasizing the need for authenticity and self-reflection. Shaifali also shares practical tips for writing compelling essays, common mistakes applicants make, and how to manage stress during the writing process. The second half of the conversation covers the role of interviews, the types of interviews, the most common questions asked, and strategies for effective preparation. Takeaways: Authenticity and reflection are key to standing out. Understanding the intent behind essay questions is crucial. Storytelling should connect experiences to larger themes. Avoid writing what you think admissions committees want to hear. Generative AI can assist in research but not in writing essays. Start with self-reflection before writing your essays. Practice common interview questions out loud for confidence. Know your application inside out for interviews. Follow up with interviewers to express gratitude.

Philosopher and critical theorist Judith Butler, Distinguished Professor in the Graduate School at UC Berkeley, has been at the forefront of gender theory for 35 years. But while their work Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity, which helped establish the idea of gender as a social construct in the 1990s, was lauded by the LGBTQIA+ community for opening the doors to queer theory, they've been vilified by those on the right for whom gender theory is a threat to “tradition.”  Kara and Judith talk about their latest book, Who's Afraid of Gender, which analyses the growing attacks on gender and gender theory around the world; how Trump's executive order redefining sex as binary impacts everything from personal rights to medical research; and why recent attacks on the independence of universities could have a chilling effect on academic freedom in the long term.  Questions?

Join Ms. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, National Leader of Belarus and Head of the United Transitional Cabinet, and Hoover Senior Fellow, H.R. McMaster, as they discuss the Belarusian opposition, her fight for freedom, and the importance of countering Russian aggression in Europe. With Belarus at the center of geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, Ms. Tsikhanouskaya discusses the nature of the Stalinist Lukashenka regime and mechanisms used to maintain their grip on power, what the opposition has accomplished and its future priorities, including the release of political prisoners and holding free and fair elections, her views on the war in Ukraine, and the future of Belarus and other democracies relative to the axis of aggressors of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is the National Leader of Belarus and Head of the United Transitional Cabinet. Independent observers determined that Tsikhanouskaya won the Belarusian presidential election on August 9, 2020, defeating the long-standing dictator Alexander Lukashenko. Tsikhanouskaya entered the presidential race after the Lukashenko regime arrested her husband for declaring his own candidacy. The regime forced her into exile, but she inspired mass peaceful protests throughout Belarus. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Tsikhanouskaya launched an anti-war movement to prevent Belarus' involvement and led underground resistance efforts against Russian troops. She has advocated for the release of over 1,500 political prisoners and free and fair elections, earning her numerous international awards and two Nobel Peace Prize nominations. H.R. McMaster is the Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

Elisabeth Krieger, a graduate student in the Department of Ecology at Montana State University, discusses her passion for sports, natural resources, and her research on elk in eastern Montana. 

The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates is considered the father of Western philosophy, one whose most famous ideas have all but risen to the level of pop culture. We parrot his claim that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” His name has been invoked by politicians to bolster their stance against “cancel culture.” There's even an AI chat app modeled after Socrates that promises intelligent conversations. But what exactly were Socrates' philosophical views? We may be quick to reference his name, but if asked, many of us would likely be hard-pressed to give a thorough account of what he actually believed. In Berkeley Talks episode 224, Agnes Collard, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago and author of the 2025 book Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life, joins UC Berkeley's Judith Butler, a Distinguished Professor in the Graduate School and a leading philosopher and theorist, for a conversation. Together, they dive deep into Socrates' work and beliefs, discussing the value of pursuing knowledge through open-ended questions, how philosophical inquiry is a collaborative process where meaning and understanding are constructed through conversation, and how critical questioning can lead to greater freedom of thought and help us to ask and answer some of life's most important questions. This event took place on Jan. 30, 2025, and was sponsored by UC Berkeley's Townsend Center for the Humanities.

Donna Griffit is a corporate storyteller and Communication Coach at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, where she works with students to improve their communication, executive presence, writing, storytelling, and pitching. For 30 years, Donna has worked with Fortune 500 companies, startups, and investors in 30 countries, helping them create, edit, and deliver powerful presentations. She is also the author of Sticking to My Story: The Alchemy of Storytelling for Startups. In this episode… While women entrepreneurs have received significantly more funding in recent years, less than 2% of all VC funding goes toward female founders. How can you amplify women's voices to ensure they receive fair funding? According to pitch and storytelling alchemist Donna Griffit, the key to capturing investors' attention is a compelling pitch. Her four-acts formula is based on universal archetypes startups can leverage to simplify their pitches. It involves identifying the villain as the problem, the solution as the hero, the business plan as the hero's course of action, and the vision for the future as the happy ending. This creates a well-structured pitch that positions you as an authority figure. Founders should also prepare lists of answers to potential investor questions. In today's episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston chats with Donna Griffit about crafting winning startup pitches. Donna shares why she embraces serendipitous moments, how to generate more sales, and the essential elements of corporate storytelling.

Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Barbara Pape, Senior Director of the Learner Variability Project, about the concept of learner variability. The conversation touches on the importance of recognizing each student's unique strengths and challenges. They explore how educators can support neurodivergent learners through personalized instruction, they cover the role of technology in education, and talk about the need for a sense of belonging in the classroom. The discussion also touches on the barriers educators face in addressing learner variability and the evolution of educational policy to better support diverse learners. TAKEAWAYS Learner variability is the recognition that each student has unique strengths and challenges. Teaching to the middle does not effectively reach any student. Understanding learner variability allows educators to see design challenges rather than student problems. The Learner Variability Navigator is a tool for educators to understand and support diverse learners. Creating a sense of belonging is crucial for student engagement and success. Students should have agency in how their accommodations are presented to peers. Belonging in the classroom requires a whole child approach. Educational policy must evolve to provide adequate support for neurodivergent learners. Barbara Pape is the Senior Director of the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise, where she led a national survey on learner variability, edtech, and teacher practice, authored the defining paper on learner variability, and co-developed the IEP Project, which emphasizes strength-based, whole-child approaches to writing IEPs. She also hosts a monthly edWeb webinar series and previously served as executive producer of the award-winning Teaching & Learning conference for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.

Emetophobia - an intense fear of vomiting and any thoughts or sensations associated with vomiting - is a more common struggle among anxious people than anyone might initial think. But Emetophobia can make its way into virtually every aspect of life, often resulting in a highly restricted lifestyle and a dramatic decrease in the ability to function.This week Dara Lovitz and Dr. David Yusko join Drew and Josh to talk about emetophobia. Dara suffered for over 30 years before finally overcoming emetophobia through exposure based treatment with Dr. Yusko. Now they're sharing this experience with others in need of help, which is pretty awesome.If your anxiety is driven by an intense fear of vomiting, this episode is absolutely worth a listen. ---Dara Lovitz is an attorney working for a legal nonprofit organization, adjunct professor of animal law at two law schools in the Philadelphia area, and an author. She is a recovered emetophobe and co-wrote her fourth book, Gag Reflections: Conquering a Fear of Vomit Through Exposure Therapy, with her therapist Dr. David Yusko. With Dr. Yusko, she also co-founded Emetophobia Institute, which is the premier online resource for individuals struggling with emetophobia as well as therapists of all experience levels who wish to learn how to help their clients conquer emetophobia.Dr. David Yusko is a licensed clinical psychologist in Pennsylvania and is the co-founder of the Center for Anxiety & Behavior Therapy.

South Royalton has something that no other Vermont town does: a law school. But for a long time, there's been one rumor the town and the school can't seem to shake — that Vermont Law & Graduate School is on the verge of upping sticks for Burlington. Question-asker Tess Mix, of neighboring Tunbridge, has been hearing this rumor her whole life. She wants to know, is it true? And how reliant is the community on the law school, anyway?For more photos and an episode transcript, head to our website.***Get our brand new, limited-edition BLS beanie!

In this special episode, Scott welcomes the legendary Dr. Howard Gardner, a developmental psychologist and professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. Best known for his groundbreaking Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Dr. Gardner’s 1983 book Frames of Mind challenged the traditional view of intelligence as a singular ability measured by IQ tests. Scott and Dr. Gardner explore the impact of his theory on education and psychology, discussing its strengths, limitations, and evolution over time. This conversation is both a deep dive into human intelligence and a personal one as Scott shares how Dr. Gardner’s work shaped his own journey into psychology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
