In today's increasingly decentralized workplaces, leaders often need to get things done without having direct authority over the people they depend on. So how can you influence colleagues, clients, vendors, and even senior executives without simply telling them what to do? Pamela Meyer, founder and CEO of Calibrate, says the answer is learning to read the room—and understanding the informal networks, emotional dynamics, and hidden sources of power that shape decisions. She explains five paths to indirect influence: becoming an influence spotter, a backchanneler, a precision mover, a connector, and a pulse reader. Meyer also explains why the best influencers focus less on how they're performing and more on what the people around them need. Meyer is the author of How to Read the Room: The Art and Science of Social Observation and the HBR article “Five Ways to Wield Influence When You Lack Authority.”

Join host Muriel Wilkins as she unpacks last week's Coaching Real Leaders' episode, “Why Haven't I Made It To The C-Suite”, where she coached Randy - a leader who has spent years coming close to landing the most senior level executive roles, only to be passed over without clear feedback. In this special bonus and companion episode, Muriel debriefs the coaching conversation with her Coaching Real Leaders Community and provides additional context to what was really going on during the coaching session and helps listeners better understand her coaching approach.

The Experience Strategy Podcast | theexperiencestrategist.substack.com It's a book launch episode. Human Context: How Intelligent Companies Build Customers — Dave Norton's new book — released yesterday on Amazon. Joe and Aransas have read the galley. This episode covers the why now, the four frameworks at the book's core, and how companies are meant to actually use it. What's in This Episode Why Dave felt compelled to write this now. It goes back to 2015 and Digital Context 2.0, his first book, in which he argued that context would be the organizing logic that brought channels, tools, and technologies together in service of the human. It didn't quite unfold that way — companies didn't want to share data, API ecosystems were slow to develop, and the consumer-enabling vision got stuck. Then generative AI arrived and changed everything. Context is now the literal engine that makes LLMs work. But there's a problem: every AI company in the world is thinking about context as their asset — something to extract from consumers and use against them to sell more. Dave wrote Human Context to plant a stake in the ground against that direction. The book argues that context belongs to the individual, and intelligent companies will build around enabling people rather than extracting from them. The two definitions of context — and why they matter. Joe sharpens the distinction that runs through the whole book: AI companies think of context as the model's context — the information fed into the system to make it work. What the book argues is that companies need to think about the customer's context — the situations, mindsets, and life circumstances of the individual they're serving. These are not the same thing, and confusing them is how companies end up building technology that serves the platform instead of the person. The four frameworks. The book is organized around four interconnected frameworks: Stupid/Dumb/Smart/Genius — co-developed with Joe Pine in 2016 and referenced in Dave's 2023 HBR article, this framework helps companies understand when and why to use intelligence. Dumb means no context is being collected — not a pejorative, just a description of the state. Smart means iterative sense-and-respond. Genius is what generative AI has now made genuinely possible — anticipatory, deeply contextual support. Stupid is when intelligence is turned adversarially against the consumer: wasting their time, getting in the way, or pursuing nefarious motives. Situational Markets — the move away from demographic targeting toward situations. What people have in common is not age or income bracket — it's that they find themselves in common situations. Companies that learn to identify, size, and design for situations are already operating at a different level of contextual sophistication. Demographics, as Joe puts it memorably, tell you nothing — a point he illustrates with the famous example of two people born the same day in the same town, one of whom became King Charles and the other Ozzy Osbourne. Modes — the mindset and behavioral state a person is in at a given moment. Combined with situation, modes give a company a genuinely rich picture of what the individual needs right now. Dave has been developing this framework for twelve years. Time Value — the measurement framework. How do you evaluate a dumb experience using time value? A smart one? A genius one? The book distinguishes between time saved, time well spent, and time well invested — giving companies a way to think about what their interactions are actually delivering. Demographics and personas: a gentle funeral. Joe makes the case cleanly. Demographics are shifts in bell curves — everyone is somewhere on every curve, and they tell you nothing about what any individual values or needs. Personas were a useful intervention when product designers needed reminding that real humans would use their products. But reducing a person to a persona is an injustice to both the individual and to the company's own capability. The frameworks in Human Context are designed to replace both. How the book is meant to be used. Dave is unapologetic: the book introduces the concepts, but the real work happens in the workbooks. Ten industry-specific workbooks accompany the book — covering how to size situational markets in your category, how to map modes, how to apply the frameworks to your actual business model. There's also a case study. The core ask of the reader: spend real time asking what it would actually take to move away from demographic thinking and start sizing situations instead. How Dave wrote it — and why provenance matters. Every chapter started as Dave's own writing, in some cases material he'd been developing for over a decade. AI was used to synthesize, consolidate, and accelerate — combining multiple drafts, simplifying, and then editing back to his voice. He's transparent about this in the book itself, with a dedicated provenance section. His position: books built with AI assistance should always include provenance notes explaining the origins of the content. All the ideas are his. The tools helped him get them out faster than he could have alone. An audiobook is coming. Dave briefly considered recording it himself, heard the professionals on ACX, and wisely hired a narrator. Joe recorded the opening and closing of The Transformation Economy himself and let the professionals handle the rest. Aransas, for her part, heavily negotiated to narrate her own book, Courage Capital — forthcoming from Hachette in 2027. Key Quotes "We almost forgot that humans are intelligent too. We're actually the source of all the context that's being fed into the technology." — Dave Norton "AI companies think of context as the model's context. What we need to think about is the customer's context — the individual's context." — Joe Pine "Demographics tell you nothing about an individual person and how you might provide them with value. Prince Charles and Ozzy Osbourne — same day, same town." — Joe Pine "Calling a person a persona is an injustice. We are not personas. We are human beings with agency, and every human being is unique." — Joe Pine "The system has to be redesigned to support your needs and to empower you to do what you care about in the way that fits your life and values." — Aransas Savas "Books that are generated using AI should always have a section on provenance." — Dave Norton "The fact that you came up with these ideas years ago does not take away one iota from how valuable they are today." — Joe Pine Get the Book Human Context: How Intelligent Companies Build Customers by Dave Norton is available now on Amazon (Kindle and print).

The Hidden Gender Gap in AI Education, with Juliana Peloche   In this episode of the AI in Education Podcast, we welcome Juliana Peloche to explore one of the most important (and often overlooked) conversations in educational AI: the gender gap. Juliana shares how a Year 5 student's curiosity about AI sparked her own research journey, leading to a PhD and, ultimately, the co-founding of Women in AI Australia. Together, we discuss why representation matters (see Will Artificial Intelligence Get in the Way of Achieving Gender Equality?), the barriers women continue to face in AI (see HBR's Women Are Avoiding AI. Will Their Careers Suffer? and Global Evidence on Gender Gaps and Generative AI Over Time) and what educators, institutions and industry can do to create more inclusive opportunities. The conversation hears about new research into how female university students are using AI, revealing surprising findings around ethics, trust, academic integrity, and confidence with AI tools. We also explore AI bias, the importance of visible role models, and practical ways schools and universities can encourage more women to lead in the field.

Nobel laureate Professor Daniel Kahneman said we don't choose between experiences; we choose between the memory of an experience. If that's true — and the science says it is — then most organizations are investing in the wrong thing. In this episode, Colin and Ryan explore how memories are actually formed, the difference between short-term (working) and long-term memory, and why your brand is really just a memory structure in the minds of your customers. They dig into how heuristics and biases shape what we remember, why humans are relentless pattern-recognition machines, and what all of this means for the experiences you design. It's the first in a three-part series on the topic Colin calls his favorite of all. In this episode, you'll learn: Why memory — not the live experience — drives customer decisions, loyalty, and price tolerance The difference between short-term/working memory and long-term memory (and why most of your experience gets "binned" within seconds) How memories are stored as a connected network of "nodes," not isolated facts Why a brand, from the customer's point of view, is simply a memory structure, making brand management a form of memory management How customer expectations are built from memory, and what that means for "meeting and exceeding" them Where heuristics and biases come from — what's innate, what's learned, and what's situational The practical "so what" for designing experiences that customers actually remember Key quote: "We don't choose between experiences. We choose between the memory of an experience." — Professor Daniel Kahneman The hosts: Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 286,000 followers and 87,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

What happens when the person telling your success story wasn't actually in the room? That's the moment that pushed John Winsor — Founder and Chairman of Open Assembly, Harvard Business School executive fellow, and author of six books including the bestselling Open Talent — to write a widely discussed piece questioning the entire thought leadership industry. In this conversation with Peter Winick, Winsor traces his path from launching a regional sports magazine (sold to Condé Nast) through decades of building and exiting companies, to his current work at Harvard's AI Institute studying the future of work. Along the way, he unpacks a tension every expert eventually faces: when does an idea deserve a blog post, a keynote, or a book — and when is it just filler dressed up as insight? Winsor and Winick dig into what separates "thought leaders" from "thought doers," using everyone from Malcolm Gladwell to Domino's Patrick Doyle as examples of how firsthand experience — not borrowed theory — is what actually earns an audience's trust. They also tackle a question with real urgency for anyone building a business around ideas: if generative AI can produce a working website, investor deck, and full brand in a single prompt, what's left for humans to do? Winsor's answer centers on relationships, judgment, and the irreplaceable value of live, human-to-human experience — a case he backs with striking data from executive AI workshops at HBS. This is a candid, occasionally pointed conversation about ego, authenticity, and the mechanics of building influence in a market flooded with polished — but often hollow — expertise. Worth a listen for anyone deciding what to write next, whether to take the stage, or how to stay relevant as AI eats the easy parts of the job. Three Key Takeaways: • Experience should come before the platform, not after. Winsor argues that credible thought leadership starts with real, specific experience — "go have a bunch of really killer specific experiences" — rather than reverse-engineering content to match a trending topic or keyword. • AI is pushing execution toward zero cost, which raises the value of judgment and relationships. Winsor points to tools that can generate a full company's assets — website, investment deck, brand — from a single prompt in under two hours. What AI can't replace is the human trust required to sell, evangelize, and validate an idea. • Format should follow curiosity, not ambition. Rather than deciding upfront that an idea "deserves" a book, Winsor tests ideas publicly through Substack, HBR, and Forbes articles first, using audience response to gauge whether something is worth developing further — or whether it was only ever his own curiosity. Before you go — Peter has a new book. The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas—and How You Can Too, co-authored by Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal, draws on more than 700 conversations from this very podcast to map out the patterns that separate thought leaders who build lasting impact from those who never scale past their own curiosity. It introduces five thought leadership avatars — Growth-Minded CEOs, Impact and Legacy Executives, Thought Leaders on the Run, In-House Experts, and Hall of Fame Thinkers — and gives readers the frameworks and tools to find their own path. Endorsed by Mel Robbins, Ken Blanchard, Stephen M. R. Covey, Marshall Goldsmith, and 50+ other leading voices, with a foreword by Lisa Bodell.

Uncertainty isn't going anywhere. So what if the goal wasn't to get rid of it, but to get better at holding it? In this episode, Helen and Sarah borrow brilliance from a feeling and dive deep into one of the most relevant topics in work and careers right now. Drawing on Margaret Heffernan's Embracing Uncertainty, Sam Conniff and Katherine Templar-Lewis's Uncertainty Toolkit, and a brilliant HBR article, they explore what it really means to develop the capacity to hold uncertainty, and what your default response to it reveals about you.

AI tools create a specific kind of trust problem on teams, and most leaders aren't sure what to name it or where it's coming from. In this Practical Field Notes episode, Mimi and David react to a Harvard Business Review piece by Jayshree Seth and Amy Edmondson on psychological safety and AI integration. They connect the article's ideas to what leaders are actually navigating in their organizations, including how to build learning loops that keep AI use transparent and how leaders can model the kind of openness that makes it safe for teams to question, challenge, and learn.

Most leaders assume that when employees break rules, punishment is the answer. But according to researcher Michael Gill, associate professor at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School, that mindset overlooks a crucial reality: not all rule breaking is self-serving, and some of it may actually help organizations perform better. He explains his research synthesizing more than 250 studies and details the four main motivations behind why people break rules, why repeated violations may signal deeper organizational problems, and how leaders can distinguish harmful misconduct from employees trying to help customers, colleagues, or the business itself. Learn more in the HBR article How the Best Leaders Respond to Rule Breaking.

What if the real reason you're not taking action isn't about motivation, time, or strategy—but about who you believe you are? In this powerful solo episode of the Empowered Team Podcast, Kari Schneider dives into the hidden force driving every action you take (or don't take): your identity. Backed by research and real-life experience, Kari unpacks how identity-based thinking shapes behavior, influences long-term success, and determines whether you follow through or stay stuck. Drawing from her own recent life transitions and recovery from serious injury, Kari shares how shifting her identity helped her navigate one of the hardest seasons of her life—and how you can do the same. In this episode, you'll learn: Why identity—not discipline—is the foundation of consistent action The science behind “I am” language and behavior change How your brain sees your future self as a stranger (and how to fix it) Why you can't outperform your identity—no matter how hard you try A simple 3-step framework to start shifting your identity today Key Takeaway: Every action you take is a vote for the person you believe you are. Change your identity—and your actions will follow. Call to Action: Declare who you are becoming. Share this episode and tag Kari with your “I am” statement.

Many leaders and teams are not always aware of what is getting in their way and what opportunities exist to improve their culture and performance. Tools help us see more clearly. For Full Show Notes and Links Visit: https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/self-awareness-tools-with-jason-p-carroll/ Jason is joined by his friend, Jason P. Carroll, the founder of Aptive Index, for an insightful conversation about leveraging self-awareness tools to remove leadership obstacles and build high-performance teams. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: With employee engagement hitting a ten-year low and only 23% of workers trusting their organization's direction, how can executives build an environment where teams truly thrive? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger sits down with behavioral intelligence specialist, TEDx speaker, and certified Dare to Lead facilitator Jason P. Carroll. Together, they explore the profound intersection of psychometric science, data-driven self-awareness, and strategic culture shaping. This conversation moves beyond generic motivational advice to break down the mechanics of human hardwiring in the workplace. Jason and Jason examine the hidden traps of leadership habits, highlighting how executives often inadvertently erode trust through micro-doses of misaligned communication. They analyze real-world case studies of behavioral clashes, emphasizing that true self-awareness isn't just about collecting personality data—it's about understanding your systemic impact and knowing how to dial in your personal strengths with precision. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, founders, and managers committed to mastering corporate culture, this episode offers a practical blueprint on leveraging AI-powered behavioral intelligence, navigating cultural dissonance, and deploying the core drivers of organizational trust to enhance leadership in teams. Episode Notes & Timestamps: Intro: Jason Barger introduces Jason P. Carroll, founder of Aptive Index, setting up a conversation on self-awareness tools and removing leadership obstacles. Meet Jason P. Carroll: A look into Carroll's background, including scaling a previous company from $20M to $80M through people decisions, training with Brené Brown, and playing sandlot baseball. Running Hot: Analyzing the cartoon imagery of running at maximum temperature and the difficulty high-performing leaders face when trying to slow down. The Evolution of Culture: Observations on how economic uncertainty, work-from-home shifts, and AI require leaders to reframe people leadership with deep intentionality. The Trust Crisis: Discussing the Gallup data hitting a 10-year low in employee engagement and the reality that only 23% of workers trust their leadership. The Data vs. Self-Awareness Trap: Why listing personal tendencies on a spreadsheet isn't true self-awareness, and the necessity of understanding your behavioral impact on a team. The Cowboy Hat Case Study: A narrative about a high-energy CEO learning that he can't expect a structured accounting department to adapt to his chaotic executive style. Misaligned Hardwiring: Jason P. Carroll shares a story from his previous company where clashing behavioral needs created an operational chasm between visionaries and operators. Dialing in Strengths: Why self-awareness doesn't mean becoming a chameleon, but rather finding the proper execution balance without losing your executive edge. Cultural Dissonance & Lingering Habits: Jason Barger unpacks why "what we allow lingers and what we teach triggers," and the leadership obligation to protect the culture of "we." The Trust Drivers: A comparison of the HBR trust drivers (logic, empathy, authenticity) and the Aptive Index metrics (character, competence, compassion). Psychometrics & The AI "Now What?": How the AI system Aria converts dusty, one-time personality data into continuous, real-time workplace conflict guides. Outro: Jason outlines steps for leaders to calibrate their thermostat by proactively shifting behaviors to shape culture. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Systemic Impact Mapping: Move past simple personality test checklists; true self-awareness requires evaluating how your hardwired tendencies alter team dynamics. Dial, Don't Discard: Refining your leadership style is not about erasing your natural strengths, but dialing back over-indexing tendencies (like steamrolling) to allow for team autonomy. Address the Dissonance: Guard your culture fiercely by refusing to let misaligned behaviors linger, actively teaching back to your core operational values.

Mukhtar Kadiri: When the Smartest Person on the Team Becomes the Biggest Bottleneck — And Explodes in a Meeting Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "A lot of times, the problem is not necessarily technical. It's a human problem. Just figuring out the human dynamics removes the obstacles and makes the project flow." - Mukhtar Kadiri   Mukhtar was brought into a healthcare software project where the team couldn't hit any of their milestones. The product manager, engineering team, and head of engineering were supposed to be self-sustaining, but chaos reigned. What Mukhtar found through his one-on-ones was a pattern of finger-pointing — product blaming engineering, engineering blaming product. Then, in one meeting, the head of engineering exploded. He burst out yelling in front of the entire team. In a private conversation afterward, Mukhtar discovered the root cause: this brilliant architect was a bottleneck. Everyone depended on him, he was stretched across multiple projects, and the frustration had been building with no outlet. Mukhtar's approach was direct — "Your name is on this project. Yelling is not going to help." But the real insight came from what happened next. Once the head of engineering started controlling his outbursts, team morale improved almost immediately. Combined with basic structure — regular meetings, low-hanging-fruit milestones — the team built momentum and eventually became self-sufficient. The lesson? No matter how technical the challenge looks, it's always a people problem. And one-on-ones aren't just status updates — they're pressure valves that prevent public explosions that can cause irreparable damage to team morale.   Self-reflection Question: Is there someone on your team who's carrying too much load in silence — and what would it take for you to create a safe space where they can express that frustration before it boils over? Featured Book of the Week: HBR Project Management Handbook by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez Mukhtar recommends the HBR Project Management Handbook because, as he puts it, "A lot of project management books, I can read them and it's almost like I'm not really learning anything new. But this one had substance." After stumbling into project management and leading projects for seven years before even pursuing his PMP, Mukhtar found that most PM books simply codified what he already knew from experience. The HBR handbook was different — it offered breadth, depth, and fresh approaches to common project management challenges. He also recommends the Rita Mulcahy PMP Exam Prep for those preparing for PMP certification, noting that studying for the exam crystallized frameworks around things he had been doing instinctively.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

A small percentage of teams perform exceptionally well and have fun while doing it. And the secret to their success isn't innate talent. It's the way they work together. Ron Friedman, psychologist and the founder of Superteams, Inc., has studied the data on these high-performing groups across industries and identified the key leadership behaviors that drive sustained outperformance--from asking questions people often avoid to creating continuous feedback loops. Friedman is the author of the HBR article "How to Build a Superteam That Keeps Getting Better," and the book Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams.
