Traditional L&D strategies rely too much on hope. Hope that training will stick, hope that stakeholders will engage, and hope that impact will follow. But as Dani Johnson of RedThread Research explains in this episode, hope isn’t a plan. Drawing on insights from the latest report, Dani outlines why L&D’s influence in strategic business discussions is declining - and what leaders must do to reverse the trend. She breaks down the five essential elements of a progressive L&D strategy, from organisational alignment and stakeholder engagement to tech, data, and operational discipline. Dani also explores the tension between consistency and adaptability, how to move beyond training requests to real business conversations, and why outdated approaches to learning persist despite their lack of impact. For L&D professionals ready to move from reactive to strategic, this episode offers a clear, research-backed blueprint for building a modern, credible, and business-aligned L&D function. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS Hope is not a strategy – intentionality is essential. Don´t just drift, create a business need driven strategy, follow it and measure progress. Dani´s study shows that L&D is increasingly losing strategic influence. L&D needs to shift from being order-takers to being business partners. Get out from behind your desk. Use the same language as stakeholders. L&D needs to provide stability but also be flexible enough to quickly meet emerging needs. Tech and data are strategic levers, not just tools. Buy the right tech. BEST MOMENTS "What has gotten us here is not going to get us into the future." "Be intentional about making that strategy and then delivering on that strategy." "It is time to quit looking at old models and traditional ways of doing things." "We are here for a planned, demonstrable impact." "Two big things are driving this integration of technology and data: the first is skills... the second is AI." Dani Johnson Bio Dani is Co-founder and Principal Analyst at RedThread Research, where she explores the intersection of people, practices, and technology. Prior to RedThread, Dani led the Learning and Career research practice at Bersin, Deloitte. Her work has appeared in publications like The Wall Street Journal, CLO Magazine, Employment Relations and HR Magazine.

What if the discomfort of success isn't a breakdown, but a breakthrough? Laura Gassner Otting challenges us to embrace this idea in what she calls “Wonderhell”—the space where new success unlocks untapped potential while also bringing doubt, anxiety, and bigger goals. Laura's journey is a testament to bold reinvention. From dropping out of law school to working in the White House, founding a global executive search firm, and becoming a bestselling author, she's built a career anchored in core values and fearless decision-making.Her story is more than a career blueprint; it's an invitation to rethink how we view success. Laura believes that passion lies in what you're willing to fail at until you master it and that aligning with your values can transform uncertainty into growth. She reframes midlife as a liberating time to hone skills, grow quietly, and then make your biggest impact. Laura's insights are a rallying cry to anyone ready to push through discomfort and claim their full potential.Key Highlights:Rethinking Passion: Passion is what you're willing to fail at repeatedly until you succeed.Wonderhell Explained: Success reveals untapped potential but also brings doubt and ambition, creating space for growth.Core Values Matter: Staying rooted in your values helps guide decisions and build authentic success.Midlife Opportunity: Laura sees midlife invisibility as a time to refine and prepare for major impact.Leveraging Skills: Past experiences and transferable skills are key to creating new opportunities.About Our Guest:Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief.She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and perspective generated by decades of navigating change across the start-up, corporate, nonprofit, political, as well as philanthropic landscapes. Laura dares audiences to find their voice, and generate the confidence needed to tackle larger-than-life challenges by helping them to seek new ways of leading, managing, and mentoring others.Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps.She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest growing search firms in the country, partnering with the full gamut of mission-driven executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it, both because she was hungry for the next chapter and because she held an audacious dream of electing our nation's first female president. (Whomp whomp.)Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America'sRobin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015).

Have you ever experienced the fear of sharing your opinion at work or had the feeling like you're walking on eggshells in a relationship?

In today's episode of Good Authority, Jonathan sits down with Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg. They discuss the importance of approaching problems differently to achieve innovation and success. They emphasized the need for emotional and intellectual distance to solve the right problems, and for a simple method that can be applied by anyone. Jonathan also highlights the importance of understanding personal journeys and pain points to address complex problems, while Thomas emphasizes the need to recognize and reframe one's own biases and assumptions. As the episode winds down, you'll hear Jonathan and Thomas discuss a few personal topics, including the challenges of maintaining the purity of advisory work while balancing personal interests and client needs.

Zofia explains how good management contributes significantly to employee retention and well-being.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [02:33] Zofia studied psychology to understand how people think, as well as behavior change, why and how we do things.   [04:17] Zofia's Master's focuses on the Future of Work and occupational stress/health at work.   [05:03] Zofia is curious about temporary work arrangements after her own—voluntary—experience.   [06:18] Temporary workers' different agency and autonomy affects their experiences and health.   [08:01] Zofia's PhD analyzes temporary staff management and patient care in NHS emergency departments.   [08:47] Possible safety/quality effects when emergency dept. employees get temporary assignments.   [09:42] NHS ‘bank' and agency staff differences highlight many important talent management nuances.   [11:56] A systems approach to analyzing the UK's ‘Speedy Summary Justice” – the promise.   [12:45] The effect of disconnects in a system that is overworked, underpaid, and understaffed.   [13:50] The practical reality of human messiness and how organizations and people work.   [15:02] Evidence shows workers' health and wellbeing affects their productivity and retention.   [16:00] Q: What interventions make the biggest difference to employees' health and well-being?   [16:50] A: Good management and good employment relationships are the most impactful.   [18:05] In 2006, two researchers discover “Work IS good for your health IF it's good quality work.”   [18:26] People don't really know what good quality work is.   [19:27] Good work includes: varied tasks that match interests and skills, co-collaboration, having a voice, autonomy and a fair work environment, with growth opportunities and strong work relationships.   [22:50] “Secure work” depends on the contractual arrangement—imposed or two-way.   [24:24] To achieve a healthy workplace with engaged employees, good quality work is essential.   [25:42] An important factor is someone's choice about the work they have and can do.   [26:27] Zero-hour contracts are detrimental when managed badly with no communication or flexibility.   [27:28] Freelancers can have good choices: clients, autonomy, relationships, and interesting work.   [28:48] Empathizing is important to discover what encourages people to work, their values, what they bring to the workplace.   [30:26] Companies with embedded focus on wellbeing and good work pre-pandemic were able to transition well through and beyond the crisis.   [31:36] Good management practices including consistent communication, listening, and workplace policies.   [32:15] Zofia shares some examples of data points companies can colligate to increase understanding of their employees' well-being.   [37:32] The challenges facing organizations are numerous, but a lot of the change can be addressed with good management practices.   [43:55] Young and old want the same thing from the workplace, but demographic pressures are changing the face of retirement.   [47:46] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Good work requires good managers. Ensure those promoted to managerial positions have people management skills and technical excellence. They need training, coaching support, and feedback to help them continue to improve.     RESOURCES   Dr. Zofia Bajorek on Linkedin  Follow Dr. Bajorek on X @DrZofia Website for employment-studies.co.uk The Institute for Employment Studies Interesting articles by Dr. Bajorek: ‘People leave managers, not companies' - but is the manager really at fault?

The line management conundrum – let's hug and not squeeze our line managers     QUOTES (edited)   “If we don't look after people's health and well-being in the workplace it can have an impact on both retention and productivity levels.”   “Work is good for your health, but there is a strong caveat that it has to be good quality work. And that is where we are still struggling because people don't know what good quality work is.”   “Every human has fluctuating mental health. But what's important for the workplace is that work doesn't make it worse.”   “If you want good work and good health, you have to have good management.”

  Join us in our next Design Your New Life in Retirement group program. _________________________ Today's Building Block: Personal Growth If you're planning for retirement, you're well-versed in figuring out how to balance work and life. You may be tempted to think you won't need to worry about that once you retire. But not so fast. If you're planning an active retirement, you'll need to be thoughtful in balancing the different domains of life and creating harmony among them. Several practices from Stew Friedman's Total Leadership model can help you be  intentional about your next phase of life. Start with Stew Friedman's free tool at Total Leadership.org: Create Your Four Circles Picture Stew Friedman joins us from suburban Philadelphia. _________________________ Bio Stew Friedman, founder and CEO of Total Leadership, is an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he has been on the faculty since 1984.  He worked for five years in the mental health field before earning his PhD from the University of Michigan.  As founding director of The Wharton Leadership Program, in 1991 he initiated the required MBA and Undergraduate leadership courses.  He also founded Wharton's Work/Life Integration Project in 1991.  Friedman has been recognized by the biennial Thinkers50 global ranking of management thinkers every cycle since 2011 and was honored with its 2015 Distinguished Achievement Award as the world's foremost expert in the field of talent. He was listed among HR Magazine's most influential thought leaders, chosen by Working Mother as one of America's most influential men who have made life better for working parents, and presented with the Families and Work Institute's Work Life Legacy Award. While on leave from Wharton for two-and-a-half years, Friedman ran a 50-person department as the senior executive for leadership development at Ford Motor Company. In partnership with the CEO, he launched a corporate-wide portfolio of initiatives designed to transform Ford's culture; 2500+ managers per year participated.  Near the end of his tenure at Ford, an independent research group (ICEDR) said the LDC was a “global benchmark” for leadership development programs.  At Ford, he created Total Leadership, which has been a popular Wharton course since 2001 and is used by individuals and companies worldwide, including as a primary intervention in a multi-year study funded by the National Institutes of Health on improving the careers and lives of women in medicine and by 135,000+ students in Friedman's first MOOC on Coursera.  Participants in this program complete an intensive series of challenging exercises that increase their leadership capacity, performance, and well-being in all parts of life, while working in high-involvement peer-to-peer coaching relationships. His research is widely cited, including among Harvard Business Review‘s “Ideas that Shaped Management,” and he has written two bestselling books, Total Leadership: Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life (2008) and Leading the Life You Want: Skills for Integrating Work and Life (2014), now being taught as a MOOC on Coursera. His third Harvard Business Press book was Parents Who Lead: The Leadership Approach You Need to Parent with Purpose, Fuel Your Career, and Create a Richer Life (2020). In 2024, The Wharton School Press published a new edition of his landmark study of two generations of Wharton students, Baby Bust, 10th Anniversary Edition: New Choices for Men and Women in Work and Family.  Work and Family – Allies or Enemies? (2000) was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the field's best books.  In Integrating Work and Life: The Wharton Resource Guide (1998) Stew edited the first collection of learning tools for building leadership skills for integrating work and life. Winner of many teaching awards, he appears regularly in business media (The New York Times cited the “rock star adorati...

This episode is with Peter Cappelli DPhil, George W. Taylor Professor of Management; Director, Center for Human Resources, The Wharton School; author of “Our Least Important Asset: Why the Relentless Focus on Finance and Accounting is Bad for Business and Employees" https://amzn.to/3P5WTGd Recently named by HR Magazine as one of the top 5 most influential management thinkers, we speak about wrong thinking when it comes to employee cost and value. TIMESTAMPS [2:02] Why do leaders see employees as liabilities instead of assets? [3:47] Is that a failure of the imagination? [5:50 ] Replacing my employees with contractors and with leased employees [6:24] What's the problem with managers coming from engineering or finance backgrounds?   [11:19 ] But what they don't track is, are we hiring good people?   [12:20] What money you're going to give me to make me want to move? And they're not necessarily more successful than an active candidate. In fact, they're less successful. That's an interesting paradox.   [13:15 ] We know that active candidates are people who want to advance.   [13:37 ] For any line manager, middle manager, c-suite manager, your advice would be always advertise for a role?   [14:20] A study compared people who were promoted from within to a job, to those who were hired from the outside into the identical job. People hired from outside took 3 years to get up to speed compared to people promoted from within. And it took people promoted from within 7 years to catch up to the pay of people who were hired from outside. So you pay a salary premium and you suffer a performance hit when you fill those jobs from outside.   [16:31] The other paradox you describe how at the start of the recent pandemic when 70% of office workers were sent home to work, because the feeling was, “We're all in this together”, employees were trusted to get the job done. And they did because they were trusted. Then came a shift to monitoring software on the assumption that left to their own devices, people would goof off. So, what's the situation now?

Her TED Talk on teaming has been viewed more than 3 million times. She is the author of Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well*. Many leaders espouse the value of talking about our failures. Yet, failure is a threat to our ego, so it turns out we're better at learning from the failures of others than we are from our own. In this conversation, Amy and I explore how to do a better job of growing where we're in the wrong. Key Points Failure is a threat to our ego. As a result, we're more likely to learn from the failures of others than from our own failures. It's hard to learn if you already know. If you came frame situations more helpfully, it can substantially influence your ability to grow from being wrong. Disrupt the inevitable emotional response to being wrong by asking this: how was I feeling before this happened? Challenge yourself by considering if the content of your thoughts are useful for your goal. A key question: what other interpretation of the situation is possible? Choose to say or do something that moves you closer to your goals. This question will help: what is going to best help me achieve my goals?

Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg is the author of ‘What's Your Problem?' which was released by Harvard Business Press. He is also the co-author (with Paddy Miller) of Innovation as Usual, a Harvard Business Review Press book on the art of driving innovation in regular organizations. Thomas has worked with managers in nearly all parts of the globe, including China, India, Russia, Singapore, Britain, France and his native country, Denmark. His research has been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, BBC Radio, Bloomberg Businessweek and the Financial Times. His work on innovation led HR Magazine to recognize him as a “Top 20 International Thinker”. This conversation is a continuation of a string of conversations about work and creating more effective life/work integration. I'm leaning in on this topic because most of us have experienced periods of persistent angst around work, frustration with recurring work problems, and difficulty managing work relationships. This series of episodes delivers practical advice that you can use right away to be more effective and derive more satisfaction from work. This episode deep dives on problem solving which in my opinion is a universally useful skill to develop. As Thomas points out, most of us aren't thinking about problems the right way – something he calls framing – which prevents us from being able to effectively talk about and solve problems. This is a winding conversation filled with useful insight on professional and personal problem solving so It's worth taking notes.

In this episode, Bob'nJoyce unravel the merits and drawbacks of a hybrid workplace. Many companies are finding a middle ground that allows for both in-person and work from home. A recent HR Magazine article suggests that compromise work solutions are a wise choice that meets both business and employee needs. Some of our insights include: The art of co-designing can be messy. The debate/dialogue about hybrid workplaces takes finesse to be successful. The factors in a good decision or design are the: * needs of the business as the first element to protect * tailor made solutions for maximum flexibility for associates * guide to decisions of overall values and policy that combines business and people considerations * legal considerations and best practices Like it or not, we are in a new era in which what, where, and how a workplace is designed is all experimental. So come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome.

We explore the concept of "job crafting," where individuals reshape their roles to align with their strengths and passions, ultimately boosting job satisfaction and performance with Rob Baker. Key topics include:

On today's episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Laura Gassner Otting. Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief. She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and perspective generated by decades of navigating change across the start-up, corporate, nonprofit, political, as well as philanthropic landscapes. Laura dares audiences to find their voice, and generate the confidence needed to tackle larger-than-life challenges by helping them to seek new ways of leading, managing, and mentoring others. Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps. She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest growing search firms in the country, partnering with the full gamut of mission-driven executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it, both because she was hungry for the next chapter and because she held an audacious dream of electing our nation's first female president. (Whomp whomp.) Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America's Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015). Her forthcoming book, Wonderhell, is expected in April 2023. Through her own commitment to give back, Laura has helped build a local Montessori school, co-founded a women's philanthropic initiative, advised a start-up national women's PAC, grew a citizen-leadership development program, and completed five charity-inspired marathons, projects emblematic of her passions and values. She's turned on by the audacity of The Big Idea and that larger-than-life goal you just can't seem to shake. She's an instigator, a motivator, and a provocateur, and she's never met a revolution she didn't like, just ask her enduringly patient husband, two almost-grown sons, and troublesome puppy with whom she lives outside of Boston, MA.  To learn more about Laura and get her books, visit https://www.lauragassnerotting.com/ We would love to hear from you, and it would be awesome if you left us a 5-star review.

Laura Gassner Otting's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps. She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest-growing search firms in the country. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it and since that time, has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show. Laura's writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine.  Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life, Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose, and is soon to release Wonderhell.  THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anybody trying to make sense of the emotion-filled limbo that lives between success and happiness.  TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… success can bring complicated emotions. On the one hand, it's exhilarating. On the other hand, we tend to quickly jump to the next goal and become overwhelmed or stressed about the rising challenge of the next steps. Laura explains how to navigate the “wonderhell” of this tension and find happiness in the process.  WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… the idea of being a student of the process. Approaching big moments with openness to learn gives us a great awareness of the wonder and possibilities around us.  Running time: 29:00 Subscribe on iTunes  Check out the LinkedIn Live Chat Find Tiffani on Social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Find Laura Online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn Laura's Book: Wonderhell Laura's HBR Article:  Are You Pursuing Your Vision of Career Success — or Someone Else's?

This week's guest made such an impact on me the first time I had her on True Grit and Grace, I invited her back as a repeat guest! Not only did we get to catch up in person and in studio, it also gave us a chance to catch up on her new book. If you're struggling to find happiness and peace amidst a stressful circumstance or huge growth chapter, this conversation is for you. Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief. Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps. She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest growing search firms in the country, partnering with the full gamut of mission-driven executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it, both because she was hungry for the next chapter and because she held an audacious dream of electing our nation's first female president. (Whomp whomp.) Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America's Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015). Her forthcoming book, Wonderhell, is expected in April 2023. In this episode, Laura teaches you how to manage success when you achieve it, how to stay healthy amidst a busy schedule, and how to understand your own potential in a way that nourishes happiness instead of anxiety. Here's what you will learn: How to find and release the burden of your potential (5:21) How to spot energy vampires and protect yourself from them (14:30) How to overcome your limits by casting out seeds of doubt (22:29) Why imperfection is part of our collective truth (33:27) How to understand seasons and when enough is enough (44:20) Discover the 4 building blocks of good health to help you to succeed (53:28) Tune in to this episode and learn something new!

Her most recent book with John Higgins is titled Speak Up: Say What Needs to Be Said and Hear What Needs to Be Heard*. Many leaders consider what they need to do in order to speak truth to others, but rarely focus on how to make it easier for people to speak to them. In this conversation, Megan and I explore what leaders can do in order to hear what needs to be heard. We share several tactics that will make it easier for others to surface what you need to hear. Key Points Speaking up and listening up go hand in hand. Power always affects what gets said and what gets heard. A key checkpoint is whether or not you really value the opinion of others. Where you have conversations can make a massive difference on how comfortable the other party is in surfacing an important message for you to hear. Leaders who have margin in their daily schedules create space for the right moment to hear truth. Proactively invite challenge and debate through specific invitations. One example: “What do you know that I need to know, but will never be told?” Resources Mentioned Speak Up: Say What Needs to Be Said and Hear What Needs to Be Heard* by Megan Reitz and John Higgins Interview Notes Download my interview notes in PDF format (free membership required).
