Learning and development has spent decades creating courses, launching platforms, and chasing the next technology trend. But what if the problem isn't the technology at all?As AI reshapes how people access information, many traditional assumptions about workplace learning are being challenged. Employees no longer need to sit through generic training to find answers. They expect learning to be personalized, contextual, and available exactly when they need it.In this episode, Lori Niles-Hofmann joins Naomi Titleman Colla to explore why L&D is facing an existential moment, what organizations are getting wrong about skills development, and how AI could fundamentally change the way learning happens at work. Together, they discuss the shift from course creation to intelligent learning ecosystems, why skills management should be treated with the same precision as a supply chain, and how HR leaders can move from order-taking to strategic enablement.If you're responsible for developing people in an environment where business priorities, technology, and skills requirements are changing faster than ever, this conversation offers a practical and thought-provoking look at what comes next.Resources & References Mentioned

Sie entscheidet mit, wer in die obersten Führungsetagen aufsteigt: Elke Hofmann ist Deutschlandchefin der Personalberatung Egon Zehnder und sucht Vorstände und Topmanager für Konzerne und große Mittelständler. Im Gespräch mit Simone Menne spricht sie darüber, auf was sie der Besetzung von Spitzenpositionen achtet, wie unbewusste Vorurteile Karrieren beeinflussen und warum Unternehmen oft noch immer zu zögerlich handeln, wenn es um Frauen in Machtpositionen geht. Sie erklärt, welche Qualitäten Führungskräfte heute mitbringen müssen, was für sie im Vorstellungsgespräch ein No-Go ist und weshalb Nachfolgeplanung in Deutschland häufig unterschätzt wird. Außerdem erzählt Hofmann, wie sie ihre eigene Karriere nach dem Tod ihres Mannes als alleinerziehende Mutter gemeistert hat, was sie aus ihrer Zeit als Leistungsschwimmerin gelernt hat und wie es für sie war, selbst von einem Kollegen angeworben zu werden.

Complacency isn't laziness. That's the reframe Marty Hofmann brings to this conversation, and it changes everything about how you look at the drift that's been quietly settling into your life. Marty is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, and host of the Kill Complacency podcast. He grew up on a farm in Iowa, spent years as a youth pastor in Montana, and built a multi-six-figure business shearing alpacas before pivoting to real estate and eventually becoming a writer and speaker on intentional living. His path is unconventional, but his message is clear: comfort is not the enemy of a good life. Drift is. In this conversation, we get into what complacency actually looks like in real life, including in marriage, in business, and in the quiet spaces where you've stopped asking who you want to be. Marty shares the wake-up calls that forced him to get honest with himself, and the framework he uses to reverse engineer the legacy he actually wants to leave. In this episode: Why complacency feels so comfortable until it doesn't, and how to catch the drift before it costs you something you can't get back The one exercise Marty recommends for anyone who feels stuck or off-course How Marty structures intentionality across every area of his life, and why "fun" was the last category he added If you've been sensing that you're going through the motions in any area of your life, this conversation is worth your full attention.

Rooted in faith and unapologetically direct, he challenges people to reject complacency and live with intention.

SK Rapid will nicht nur am Trikot grün sein: Österreichs größter und traditionsreichster Fußballverein hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, der grünste Klub des Landes zu werden. Unterstützung kommt vom Wiener Carbon Asset Manager Econetix, der ab der laufenden Saison bis 2030 offizieller Nachhaltigkeitspartner ist. Im brutkasten-Talk erklären Rapid-Geschäftsführer Steffen Hofmann und Econetix-Geschäftsführer Paul Nimmerfall, was hinter der Partnerschaft steckt – und wo bei einem Fußballklub die größten CO2-Hebel liegen.Bereits im Sommer 2025 hat der Verein eine Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie präsentiert, mit Econetix folgt nun der nächste Schritt: zuerst messen, dann reduzieren, den Rest kompensieren. Für Hofmann, selbst langjähriger Kapitän und heute in der Geschäftsführung, gilt dabei ein klares Credo: Alles, was der Klub tut, auch die Nachhaltigkeit, muss am Ende auf den sportlichen Erfolg einzahlen.

Chapter 1 - Paul Hofmann, Ph.D., Associate Provost for International Affairs at the University of Louisville and Society for American Baseball Research member, joins us this week to discuss Charlie Ferguson, a forgotten 19th Century baseball star. Ferguson played four seasons in his early 20s with the Philadelphia Quakers (now, Phillies) in the National League and by 1887, Ferguson's final season, he emerged as a rising two-way star, excelling both at the plate (.337 average) and on the mound (99 wins over 4 seasons). Ferguson died from typhoid fever in April 1888 after a month-long battle with the illness. He had turned 25 years old just two weeks prior. Ferguson was regarded at the time and for many years after as one of the greatest players in baseball history.Chapter 2 - Another gambling scandal, only not in professional baseball."Charlie Ferguson," by Paul Hofmann, at https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Charlie-Ferguson/ (accessed June 9, 2026).Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if available), through our store at Bookshop.org.

Wer geht wie in den Showdown zwischen St. Pauli und Wolfsburg am Millerntor? Wer wird denn jetzt Siebter? Und wer erreicht die Champions League? Außerdem blickt Hofmann zurück auf das kurze Intermezzo mit Erik ten Hag – und voraus in die eigene Zukunft, die nicht zwingend bei Bayer liegen muss. Hört rein!

32 Meistertitel, 14 Cupsiege und seit 18 Jahren ohne nationalen Titel. In der zweiten Folge blicken Alex und Stefan auf das große Ganze: auf einen Verein, der stolz auf eine glorreiche Vergangenheit ist, dessen große Heldensagen aber größtenteils vor der Jahrtausendwende geschrieben wurden. Krankl, Panenka, Hofmann, Ivanov. Und danach? Eine lange Liste an Spielern, die dem Hype nie ganz gerecht wurden. Die eigentliche Frage, die sich durch die ganze Episode zieht: Welches Rapid braucht der österreichische Fußball? Und ist Demut gegenüber den letzten 30 Jahren vielleicht die bessere Grundlage für die Zukunft als der Blick auf vergangene Glorie. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

In dieser Folge von Weltwach Extrem sprechen wir mit Fußball-Nationalspieler und Bayer-Leverkusen-Profi Jonas Hofmann über seine intensivsten Reiseerlebnisse – zwischen Profisport-Alltag und echten Abenteuern.Jonas erzählt, wie sich das Reisen im Profifußball oft auf Flughäfen, Hotels und kurze Kaffeepausen beschränkt – und warum er privat jede Gelegenheit nutzt, die Welt wirklich zu entdecken. Es geht um körperlich wie mental herausfordernde Teambuilding-Abenteuer in Schwedens Wildnis, um schlaflose Nächte mit Löwen direkt vor dem Zelt in Südafrika und um nervenaufreibende Begegnungen mit Hyänen und Elefanten in der afrikanischen Savanne.Gleichzeitig berichtet er von besonders berührenden Momenten unterwegs – von unerwarteten Freundschaften auf den Seychellen bis hin zu seinem Engagement in Tansania, wo er gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Bildungsprojekte für Kinder unterstützt.Eine Folge über Grenzerfahrungen, Fernweh – und darüber, was Reisen jenseits des Spielfelds bedeuten kann.----------------------------------Über Weltwach Extrem:Es sind die kleinen und großen Extremsituationen, die die Würze des Reiselebens ausmachen und unsere Erinnerungen prägen.

Probereme si oslavy, změny v kádru i možný rekord soutěže, který může Zbrojovka překonat.Dalším velkým tématem dnešního dílu je také Artis, kde se nabízí srovnání se Zbrojovkou, a proč to v jednom brněnském klubu vyšlo mnohem lépe než tomu druhému. Rozebereme si také zbylé zápasy víkendového kola. Vlašim vyhrává v Chrudimi a zůstává jedním z nejlepších týmů celého jara.

What does it look like to be a musician who is also an inventor—someone whose curiosity about how things work shapes the way he approaches his instrument? Pianist Josef Hofmann spent his entire career exploring that, and his story is worth knowing.This year marks the 150th anniversary of Hofmann's birth. He was a Polish-American pianist, born in 1876, and considered by many—including Sergei Rachmaninoff—to be the greatest pianist of the 20th century. And yet, despite his many musical achievements, including a fifty-year performing career, 100 compositions, commercial recordings, a signature tone, and enviable technical precision, he doesn't have the same name recognition as his contemporaries.What do we know about him? What set him apart? And what can we learn from him as musicians and teachers today, over a century later?In this episode, I'm sharing some of my research into Hofmann's life, career, and contributions to our field.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: Some of the links in this episode are affiliate links, which means if you decide to purchase through any of them, I will earn a small commission.

Der Fall des deutschen Schauspielers Christian Ulmen, dessen Ex-Frau Collien Fernandes ihm vorwirft, Deepfake-Pornobilder von ihr erstellt und verbreitet haben soll, hat international für Aufsehen gesorgt. Aber wie sieht die Rechtslage in Österreich aus, wenn man Opfer von Deepfakes wird? Opferanwältin Patricia Hofmann erklärt im Gespräch mit Georg Renner, welche Straftatbestände heute schon greifen – von Cybermobbing über Nötigung bis zum neuen Cyberflashing-Paragrafen –, wo das Strafrecht aber noch empfindliche Lücken hat. Denn wer im stillen Kämmerlein sexualisierte Deepfakes herstellt, ohne sie zu verbreiten, ist derzeit nicht strafbar. Hofmann plädiert für einen eigenen Auffangtatbestand, der schon die Herstellung unter Strafe stellt.

Lori Niles-Hoffmann, senior learning strategist, co-founder of 8Levers, and longtime voice in the L&D space, explores the trends shaping talent development this year. Her 2026 predictions focus on the future of learning: the decline of one-size-fits-all courses, the rise of AI tutors and performance support, and how personalized, contextual learning will reshape the learner experience.  In this episode, Lori challenges the hype around generative AI, highlights the growing importance of agents and workflow redesign, and explains why L&D must prepare now to stay strategically relevant. The conversation also tackles ethics, data privacy, and employee trust, along with the emotional reality many professionals feel amid rapid change. Lori reminds us that while technology evolves, human skills, classroom connection, and empathy remain essential.  Resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorinileshofmann/  Website: https://www.loriniles.com/  Business Website: https://www.8levers.com/

Agentic AI is moving beyond assistive tools toward systems that can reason, plan, and act within complex workflows. In the latest episode of the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast,  we speak with Dirk Hofmann and Ulla Kruhse-Lehtonen, co-founders and co-CEOs of DAIN Studios, about what this shift means for organizations in practice. The conversation explores how agentic AI differs from traditional automation, why outcomes matter more than outputs, and how humans and AI agents can work together responsibly. Drawing on their long-standing work in data and AI strategy, Hofmann and Kruhse-Lehtonen offer practical insights into strategy, governance, and the evolving “mindware” required to make agentic AI deliver real value. The episode also highlights their forthcoming HDSR article, “The Agent-Centric Enterprise: Why 2–10x Productivity Gains Demand Radical Workflow Redesign,” and their joint online course with the Harvard Data Science Initiative, Agentic AI: Contextualized and Applied, which focuses on applying agentic systems responsibly in real organizational settings.  Our guests: Dirk Hofman is the co-founder DAIN Studios and CEO of DAIN Studios Germany Ulla Kruhse-Lehtonen is the co-founder of DAIN Studies and CEO of DAIN Studies Finland 

Send us a textWhat if the reason things feel harder than they should isn't because you're undisciplined, unmotivated, or doing it wrong—but because the system you're using was never designed for the life you're actually living? In this episode, I invite you to pause the self-judgment and take a gentler, more curious look at what's really driving your follow-through (or lack of it). If you've ever felt like you're carrying a lot, managing everything, and still wondering why your goals feel just out of reach, this conversation is for you.If you're in our 30-day challenge—or honestly, if you're just craving a way forward that feels more compassionate and more effective—this episode offers a perspective shift that might change how you see everything you're working toward.Quote of the Week“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.”— William JamesCitationsBeck, A.

Amb. (ret) Karl Hofmann is CEO of the recently launched Health X Partners (HXP), a parent company under which Population Services International (PSI) and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AID Foundation (EGPAF) now operate. He explains his personal story—from a successful diplomatic path centered in Africa to a pivot and second career as President and CEO of PSI starting in 2007. And he explains the logic by which PSI and EGPAF agreed in 2024 to form HXP to achieve greater efficiencies and prepare prudently for the end of the 25-year era, begun around 2000, that has generated an “amazing chapter of human progress” in health but which, it had become increasingly obvious, would not last indefinitely. As the unforeseen tsunami of Trump 2.0 hit in early 2025, it was both fortuitous and doubly-risky for HXP, as it stood itself up. The new leadership at FSI and EGPAF suddenly had to come to terms with 50% reductions in staff, budgets, and programs, while consolidating and integrating audit, HR, and IT teams. Change had been expected, but it “turned out there was a lot more change” than anticipated. How to view 2026? Profound uncertainty. Yet there is also one clear message to NGO implementers: focus even more on cost effectiveness; and get much closer to needs on the ground, networked and connected to leverage scale and innovation.

Episode 14 of 15 | Season 36: Serial Killers in HistoryIn a locked storage chamber in rural Hungary, seven sealed metal drums waited to reveal their terrible secrets—each containing the perfectly preserved body of a woman who had answered a marriage advertisement.The investigation into Hungary's most prolific lonely hearts killer reaches its chilling conclusion as we trace Béla Kiss's extraordinary escape from justice during the chaos of World War One.VICTIM PROFILE:Katherine Varga sold her dressmaking business for the promise of marriage. Margaret Toth trusted her mother's choice of a husband. These women weren't victims of circumstance—they were successful, independent, and looking for partnership in an era when marriage advertisements represented a respectable path to companionship. They responded to notices in Budapest newspapers, exchanged romantic letters with a successful tinsmith named Béla Kiss, and traveled alone to his home in Cinkota with their valuables and their hopes. The skills that had supported Katherine's independence—her precise needlework—would later identify her remains years after Kiss strangled her and sealed her body in an alcohol-filled drum.THE CRIME:This case changed how Hungarian law enforcement approached missing persons cases and marriage advertisement fraud. Kiss's crimes exposed the vulnerability of women seeking companionship in early twentieth-century society and demonstrated how a charismatic predator could weaponize social conventions for years without detection. The preserved bodies—so pristine that victims remained recognizable years after death—stand as haunting evidence of how ordinary systems can shield extraordinary evil. Béla Kiss remains one of criminology's greatest unsolved mysteries, his ability to disappear so completely ensuring his story continues to captivate researchers worldwide.Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence against women and discussions of serial murder. Listener discretion advised.KEY CASE DETAILS:The investigation into Béla Kiss began in mid-1916 when landlord Márton Kresinszky and pharmacist Béla Takács discovered seven metal drums in Kiss's locked storage chamber. Each drum, professionally sealed with lead solder, contained a woman's body preserved in wood alcohol and strangled with a rope or garrotte. Investigators found seventeen more bodies throughout the property, bringing the total to twenty-four victims—all killed with the same methodical approach.Timeline: Kiss operated between 1912-1914, placing matrimonial advertisements in Budapest newspapers under the alias "Hofmann." Conscripted to the 40th Honvéd Infantry Brigade in 1914, he left his home in housekeeper Mrs. Jakubec's care. The discovery came nearly two years later during renovation preparations.Method: Kiss corresponded with 174 women, actively pursued 74, and lured victims by emphasizing his financial stability and respectable tinsmith business. He requested women travel alone and bring their valuables. After strangling them, he took their assets and preserved bodies in alcohol-filled drums—a technique that astounded medical examiners with its effectiveness.Escape: In October 1916, Detective Chief Charles Nagy traveled to a Serbian military hospital after reports Kiss was alive. He arrived to find a corpse in Kiss's bed—but the face was wrong. Kiss had switched identity documents with a dying soldier and walked out of the hospital into the chaos of war-torn Serbia.Aftermath: In 1932, New York City homicide detective Henry Oswald was certain he spotted Kiss emerging from the Times Square subway station. The sighting was never confirmed. Whether Kiss died in the trenches, lived out his days under an assumed identity, or met some other fate remains unknown. The mathematics of his notebook—174 contacts, 74 pursued, 24 found—leaves terrible questions about fifty unaccounted women.HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SOURCES:This episode draws on contemporary Hungarian police records, the detailed account by Austro-Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy who witnessed the body examinations, court documents from earlier proceedings against Kiss by victims Julianne Paschak and Elizabeth Komeromi, and historical research into World War One-era military hospital conditions in occupied Serbia. The investigation reveals how wartime chaos enabled Kiss's escape and how early twentieth-century record-keeping failures allowed a serial killer to vanish completely.RESOURCES AND FURTHER READING:For listeners interested in exploring this case further, these historically significant sources provide additional context:The Hungarian National Archives maintains police investigation records from the original 1916 Cinkota discovery and subsequent manhuntAcademic research on early twentieth-century matrimonial fraud and lonely hearts schemes in Austro-Hungarian newspapersMilitary hospital records from WWI-era Serbia documenting the typhoid epidemic and identification challenges that enabled Kiss's escapeContemporary newspaper coverage from Budapest publications reporting on the barrel discoveriesRELATED FOUL PLAY EPISODES:If you enjoyed this early twentieth-century Hungarian case, explore these related Foul Play episodes:Season 36, Episode 12: Maria Swanenburg - Another insurance-focused serial killer from the 1880s Netherlands who targeted vulnerable community membersSeason 36, Episode 9: Maria Jeanneret - Swiss poisoner who exploited positions of trust to prey on isolated victimsSeason 36, Episode 15: Karl Denke - German serial killer who evaded detection through community respectability until the 1920sFoul Play is hosted by Shane Waters and Wendy Cee.

As we end 2025, I thought I’d share an old interview titled “Bombs in Salt Lake.” This is from my first year with Curt Bench. Curt actually called Mark Hofmann to warn Mark there was a bomber out there, not knowing Mark was the bomber. We’ll discuss Mark Hofmann’s forgeries and murders from 1985, the trial, and more from this 2017 interview. Check out our conversation… https://youtu.be/K54RGgJ1kYc Don't miss our other conversations on the Hofmann murders & forgeries: https://gospeltangents.com/lds_people_historical/mark-hofmann/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved The late Curt Bench, owner of Benchmark Books, provides a firsthand account of the Mark Hofmann forgery and bombing saga. As a former employee of Deseret Book and a business associate of Hofmann, Bench offers a unique perspective on how a “rock star” document hunter transformed into a cold-blooded killer. The Rise of a Master Forger Mark Hofmann established himself by “discovering” sensational documents that seemed to overturn traditional Mormon history. Bench details Hofmann's incredible versatility, noting he could forge the handwriting of men and women from various eras with haunting accuracy. Notable forgeries discussed include the Salamander Letter, which introduced “folk magic” elements like a white salamander into the First Vision narrative, and the Joseph Smith III blessing, which appeared to confirm RLDS claims regarding succession. Hofmann achieved this by using period paper stolen from libraries and aging his ink with chemical recipes found in forgery manuals. Tragic Day of Bombs in Salt Lake On October 15, 1985, pipe bombs killed Steve Christensen and Kathy Sheets. In a surreal twist of history, Bench recounts how he actually called Hofmann to warn him after the first explosion, believing his friend might be a target of a business-related attack. Hofmann feigned shock during the call, even as Bench urged him to get his family into hiding. It was only after a third bomb injured Hofmann himself the following day that investigators—and eventually Bench—realized that Hofmann was the perpetrator, not another victim. A Shadow Over History The fallout of the Hofmann scandal was immense. Bench explains that Hofmann's debts, largely tied to a non-existent “McLellin Collection,” drove him to murder as his financial schemes collapsed. The scandal initially caused the Church to restrict access to its archives out of fear and suspicion. However, Bench reflects on the “renaissance” of transparency that followed, noting that the modern era of the Joseph Smith Papers and the Gospel Topics Essays represents a significant shift toward the light of day. Lessons in Trust Bench concludes with a deeply personal reflection on trust. Despite being “duped” along with Church leaders, experts, and Hofmann’s own family, Bench decided that he could not live his life in a state of permanent paranoia. He emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and moving forward, as exemplified by Steve Christensen's father, Mac, who later helped outfit Hofmann's son for a mission.
