Overall, the interview provides a forward-looking analysis of the insurance industry, urging stakeholders to consider demographic trends and technological advancements in their strategic planning.

The goal is not just to provide new information but to explain why it matters and how to start acting on it. This involves connecting future forecasts with present-day actions.

It is viewed as a tool that can enable successful aging of the population and unlock productivity gains. Strategic Conversations: The interview stresses the need for integrating demographic considerations into strategic conversations today. This integration is crucial for preparing for future challenges and opportunities. Future Projections: The interview looks ahead to 2050, considering how current trends will evolve. It encourages taking "no regret" actions today that will be beneficial regardless of how the future unfolds.

A study by Hult International Business School and Workplace Intelligence reveals that 89% of HR leaders prefer not to hire recent graduates due to skill gaps. The survey included 800 HR leaders and an equal number of recent graduates aged 22 to 27. The majority of employers, 98%, face challenges in finding appropriate talent. Key concerns include a lack of real-world experience (60%), a limited global mindset (57%), and insufficient teamwork skills (55%). Notably, 37% of HR leaders would rather hire AI than recent graduates, and 45% would choose freelancers. Among companies that employed recent graduates, 78% terminated some within a year. Graduates report that work experience outpaces college education, with 77% learning more in six months than over four years of university. Additionally, while 97% of HR leaders value technology skills in AI and data analytics, only 20% of graduates possess these competencies. Experts call for educational programs to evolve and emphasize the development of necessary skills and mindsets for continuous learning.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

Leaders of organizations have a large responsibility when it comes to their own mental health, and of those in their organization. When they speak up about mental health, others can too. But vulnerability comes with risks. How can leaders model openness around mental health without bumping up against stereotypes and judgment?

Dr. Teri Baydar is a renowned leadership coach and CEO Whisperer. She earned her MBA from Hult International Business School with accrued training in authentic leadership, managing complexities, and behavioral economics. Between writing, coaching, and teaching meditation, Dr. Teri devotes herself to Love Conscious Human, a one-of-a-kind educational platform for evolving humans. Love Con- scious Human was created to support those ready to embody Love Consciousness and participate in crowdsourcing a better future.   Listen to this episode of Whinypaluza. Dr. Teri's insights shed light on the power of shifting mindsets from war consciousness to love consciousness, inspiring personal transformation and contributing to a more connected and purposeful way of living. Here is what to expect on this week's show: Understanding War Consciousness: War consciousness emphasizes separation, competition, and exploitation. It breeds a mindset of winners and losers, leading to disconnection and a focus on personal gain. Embracing Love Consciousness: Love consciousness emphasizes interconnectedness, compassion, and gratitude. Recognizing that all life is interdependent fosters connection and a sense of unity. Internal Alignment and Cognitive Shift: Aligning head and heart helps in overcoming cognitive dissonance and fostering compassion. Making choices consciously, moving away from frustration and anger, contributes to internal growth. Nurturing Relationships and Connection: Creating safe spaces for genuine connections, such as forming intimate circles or support groups, fosters growth and healing. Reducing self-blame and embracing self-acceptance are crucial steps towards healing past traumas. Understanding Personal Growth: Recognizing that no one is broken, emphasizing neurodiversity, and debunking societal constructs that propagate self-blame are essential for personal growth. Shifting from blame to claiming responsibility for self-improvement empowers individuals. Transformative Leadership and Conscious Business: Shifting from war consciousness to love consciousness influences leadership styles, fostering authenticity, and better relationships. Conscious business practices focus on solving problems and creating value while maintaining ethical and compassionate approaches. Vision for Humanity's Future: Dr. Teri highlights the urgent need for a shift towards regenerative industries like regenerative agriculture, circular economies, and minimalist movements. Encouraging individuals to identify their unique purposes and embracing a more connected, purpose-driven way of living. Connecting with Higher Self (Daemon): Exploring the emergence of the Daemon, representing the higher self and intuitive knowing beyond logic. The path towards connecting with the Daemon involves personal growth, clearing mental and emotional blocks, and welcoming higher wisdom. Encouraging Personal Transformation: Dr. Teri emphasizes that reading her book, "Flip Your Switch," offers guidance on this journey towards self-discovery and transformation. Connecting with one's higher self enables access to greater potential and purpose.   Connect with Dr. Teri: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coach2executives/ https://www.youtube.com/@whitelilyleadershipcoachin2275 https://twitter.com/coach2executive https://www.instagram.com/drteribaydar1/ https://www.loveconscioushuman.com/ Flip Your Switch Book https://www.loveconscioushuman.com/flip-your-switch Follow Rebecca Greene Blog  https://www.whinypaluza.com/ Book 1  https://bit.ly/WhinypaluzaBook Book 2 https://bit.ly/whinybook2 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/whinypaluzaparentingandmarriage   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/becgreene5/ @becgreene5 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@whinypaluzamom?lang=en  @whinypaluzamom YouTube https://www.youtube.com/WhinyPaluza Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you hit a creative roadblock at work? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore how creativity becomes the cornerstone for innovation, helping businesses to thrive amidst rapidly changing trends and disruptions. It's not about wild ideas. It's about building an environment where creativity thrives at every desk. This episode features Adam Kingl, an expert in reshaping how we think about leadership and strategy in the business world. Adam has influenced the minds of business leaders at prestigious institutions such as London Business School, Hult International Business School, and Imperial College Business School. He also regularly contributes as a writer and expert interviewee to The Financial Times, Sunday Times, Forbes, Fortune, The Guardian and Fast Company. Drawing on and his latest book "Sparking Success", we explore strategies that can help leaders remove the creativity blockers and spark a cultural shift towards continuous innovation.

If you enjoy the show, please rate it on Spotify or iTunes. Your ratings help more people like you discover the podcast! Episode Highlights ·         Leadership's pivotal role in igniting organizational creativity. ·         Challenging dated assumptions that hinder management innovation. ·         The linguistic insight into “to manage” and its cultural impact on creativity. ·         Identifying organizational habits that dampen innovation. ·         Striking a balance between productivity and creative growth. ·         Tactics for leaders to build creativity-focused workspaces. ·         Debunking the myth that creativity is limited to certain sectors. ·         Concrete steps for managers to inspire team creativity. ·         Lessons from creative companies and industries applicable across all sectors. ·         Examining barriers to creativity in conventional settings. ·         Adopting ‘micro habits' for team-wide innovative thinking.   Adam's view on the greatest unmet wellbeing need at work today "Every organization is struggling with hybrid work right now, right? When do you bring people into the office, or when do you work from home? And I think part of what I've discovered is the answer is: if you're going to ask people to come into the office, give them a reason, provide a creative focus. "I want everyone in the office on Wednesday because we're going to meet with our senior-most clients talking about their biggest pain points." If you just say, "Come in because it's everyone in the office Wednesday," like Taco Tuesday, it's arbitrary, and everyone's just going to probably sit at their desk with headphones in, tapping away at their keyboard; they may as well be at home." What “working with humans” means to Adam "Working with humans is about encouraging them to find and express those qualities that make them human: curiosity, adaptability, inspiration, innovation. Surely, any organization that encourages an abundance of those qualities in their people is one that I want to work for or invest in."

Welcome to another episode of The Connected Leadership Podcast with Andy Lopata, featuring an impelling discussion with Patricia Hind, a leadership and management development professor at Hult International Business School and author of Winning Together: The Secrets of Working Relationships. Patricia is a Trustee of the British Psychological Society and Chair of the Education and Training Board, Justice of the Peace and a Freeman of the City of London. Andy and Patricia's conversation delved into the intricacies of working relationships, focusing on office dynamics and the art of developing mutually beneficial connections within the workplace. Patricia shares deep insights on how workplace relationships impact our overall work experience, emphasising their role in our successes and failures. She points out that everyone has a niche, a unique value to add to the organisation; no specific 'type' fits better within an office environment. What matters most is the nature of our working relationships and how these relationships shape both our professional lives and personal emotions. Patricia also points out that while networking can provide external boosts to career progress, nurturing effective working relationships with your own team has greater implications on your work experience and effectiveness. She champions transparency and openness in resolving conflicts, using feedback methods such as the Boff model that highlights behaviour rather than personality. The discussion also explores the changing nature of leadership. Patricia points out that leaders today are not those spectating from the top, but those who create a conducive culture in which differences can be safely managed and conflicts competently resolved. They touched upon how modern leaders are expected to appreciate their diverse team members, exhibiting and rewarding behaviours that reflect the culture they aspire to promote.  Patricia highlights the undeniable fact that relationships have profound implications in the workplace. From conflicts to collaboration, understanding the dynamics of these relationships can significantly enhance productivity and overall satisfaction within the work environment. Andy and Patricia examine the challenges of connecting different generations, characterized by contrasting values and ways of working. Although initial reactions to these differences might be adverse, the growing push for diversity and equality encourages embracing diverse perspectives for a more innovative and creative workspace. Discussing remote working and its impact on building relationships, Patricia Hind feels that although being technologically connected has risen, social connectivity has reduced. While she agrees to a certain extent that digital platforms help mitigate feelings of isolation, face-to-face interaction remains a crucial part of building meaningful relationships. Concluding their discussion, Andy and Patricia explore how to manage a relationship with colleagues where there is no rapport. Here, Patricia suggests focusing on the specific tasks that need completion and ensuring credibility and reliability are displayed. Consequently, maintaining consistent communication is key, even in the absence of a deeper bond.  This conversation sheds light on various facets of relationship management within the workspace – from multigenerational collaboration to leveraging differences, affirming the necessity of adapting to change and purposefully building connections.

Today I talked to Adam Kingl about his new book Sparking Success: Why Every Leader Needs to Develop a Creative Mindset (Kogan Page, 2023). Most or, indeed, basically all of us start out being highly creative kids filled with wonderment, only to often have that spark “knocked out” of us by the straight jacket of the status quo. This guest aims to change that scenario by drawing on his theater and general, artistic background. The bulk of this episode explores a variety of exercises to stimulate innovation and empathy. For instance, why not host a failure party to generate learnings as well as recognition that, of course, not every new initiative will succeed? Likewise, how about imagining if, say, a Salvador Dali or Jackson Pollack was in charge of product development or next your ad campaign; what might it look like then? From the marketplace to the workplace, Kingl takes us on a journey to . . . what might be, if we only dare. Adam Kingl is a speaker, educator, advisor and author who is an expert on leadership, creativity, innovation and adaptability. He's an adjunct faculty member at the UCL School of Management and at Hult International Business School. He's also an instructor at the University of Cambridge, and at institutions of higher learning in Sweden and Ireland. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc.

Have you ever stopped to think about the unique challenges faced by Latin American entrepreneurs in the United States? Or how the digital age has transformed their society and economy? Well, on today's episode we're thrilled to be joined by Carlos Baradello, Managing Partner of Sausalito Ventures and Alaya CP, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. You won't want to miss what Carlos has to say about his own experiences growing up in South America and the challenges he's had to overcome to get to where he is today... As someone who started small, he has made it his central mission to help small entrepreneurship businesses in Latin America get off the ground. We'll also explore the fascinating topic of the shift from native analog to native digital and the profound impact it's had on business and society, and on the purpose of a degree in Latin America and how it compares to the experiences of American students. So, whether you're a tech enthusiast, an entrepreneur, or just someone interested in learning about the world around you, this episode is for you. So, sit back, relax, and get ready for an engaging and informative conversation with Carlos Baradello. Let's go! ---Carlos highlights the barriers Latin Americans face in the United States. What's it like being a Latin American business owner? Carlos gives us the inside scoop on the objective and subjective barriers that make it a challenge. For starters, Latin American entrepreneurs face unique obstacles when it comes to the rule of law, predictable policies, and infrastructures that work. And then there's the subjective barrier of global mindset and cultural adjustments that are needed to thrive in a global economy. Carlos talked about his experience growing up: In his own words, "It's a story of socioeconomic diversity, the fact I grew up in an immigrant family, a very low middle class. Growing up there, you'll learn basic business principles." ~ Carlos Baradello. From his turning point of attending a higher institution to receiving a full scholarship to do his masters in the Netherlands, Carlos's unique experiences have shaped his life in incredible ways. The shift from native “local” to native “global” "It's interesting you said from native analog to native digital. I'll say it paralleled from native local to native global. And today, I'll argue that people are born global for the most part." ~ Carlos Baradello. As we explore the profound impact of digitalization, Carlos shares his insights on how it can help create new perspectives and bridge the gap between native analog and digital worlds. The purpose of a degree in Latin America and other countries and how it differs or is similar from the experiences of an American student. We had a great discussion about how education in Latin America differs from the United States. Carlos points out that degrees in America are often overpriced and not always the most effective method of learning, while in Latin America, a degree still carries significant weight. "The system that allowed people to spend all those years in college and maintain a steady career afterward no longer exists. Therefore, people in this generation have no choice but to change their attitude toward college degrees, or else we're doomed." ~ Carlos Baradello.

In this episode, Professor Atul Shah discusses his new book, Inclusive and Sustainable Finance: Leadership, Ethics, and Culture, where he “reflects on…the links between culture and finance…and comes to the conclusion that the core foundational assumptions of…individualism, materialism, profit and wealth maximization, utilitarianism, rationalism and consumerism are deceitful values taught in business schools as if they were a science.” But, science they are not, and through the interviews in this book and our conversation, we find hope in the culture and wisdom of ancient traditions to remind business of its purpose to build a better human life on this planet. Professor Atul Shah is a Professor (PhD LSE) and Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and is an award-winning writer and broadcaster. He has taught at the London School of Economics; University of Bristol; University of Maryland; City, University of London; Hult International Business School; Essex University; University of Suffolk; and University of Kent.The book is available for purchase via Routledge and Amazon.Topics covered during the episode include:-The G20 forum for international economic cooperation-What death has to do with accounting, finance, and social entrepreneurship-The nRhythm Regenerative Leadership program-How Professor Atul Shah uses storytelling and field trips to unleash the collective wisdom of business students-What the following traditions contribute to our understanding of finance and economics - Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Jainism-Some of the institutions and mindsets that need to change during this paradigm shift toward sustainabilityProfessor Shah shares his website (atulkshah.co.uk) and LinkedIn for listeners to connect with him.

In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Tessa Misiaszek, coauthor of Branding That Means Business. Tessa is an instructor with Harvard Professional Development Programs, as well as a Professor at Hult International Business School. She brings extensive experience developing human capital strategies to improve business communications. Previously she served as CEO of Empathetics, Inc. – a company that developed empathic communications training for healthcare professionals, and she is currently the Head of Research for Korn Ferry. She is also one of the hosts of The Happy At Work Podcast, which I was honored to be a guest on recently discussing my book, What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You. Today, Tessa is here discussing her new book, Branding that Means Business, which she co-authored with Matt Johnson, who was on the show two weeks ago talking about the customer side of branding. Today, Tessa and I look a little more on the employee side of things and how much that matters for brands. Listen in to learn more. Show Notes: [00:43] In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Tessa Misiaszek, coauthor of Branding That Means Business. [02:41] Tessa shares about herself and the work she does.  [04:06] Tessa met Matt in England and they had an argument about empathy. [06:06] Her debate with Matt was if empathy had a scaling issue and if empathy can deplete you as a person.  [08:13] Tips for working with a co-author? If you go into business or create a start-up with a partner it is like a marriage. If it goes bad, it can go really bad. You want to make sure you have the right partner at the onset.  [11:04] Today we are going to talk about the internal functioning of marketing, branding, and culture.  [11:45] The function of marketing is value creation.      [13:45] A brand is not marketing. A brand is an asset to your marketing strategy. [16:17] Authenticity needs to tie through everything and the outward messaging to customers matters.   [18:41] At the end of the day it is the transparency that builds trust and once consumers have trust that you are doing what you say you are they are more likely to be loyal and forgiving if something happens.  [22:05] The more empathy you can have for the way that your consumers live their lives and think about how your product and service are integrated into the way they live their lives that will allow you to build a more authentic brand connected to them.  [23:42] Brand is really the great differentiator today.   [26:42] Empathizing with the customers is crucial.  [29:00] As a brand you can't be all things to all people so don't try to be.  [29:49] Companies are only as good as the people that run them. Being able to really connect that purpose to the employee organization and culture that you develop within the company is very important.   [31:50] Mission and values are just the beginning. Next, you have to think about the infrastructure and operations.  [33:54] Zappos worked on creating and building a culture that really engaged the employees and then delivered on that and drive everything about the company.  [35:28] Melina shares Zappos' ten core values. Tessa recommends that start-ups start with five unique authentic values. [37:14] If we all say we have the best service then nobody has the best service unless you are really living that. It is not enough to just say it, you have to show it.  [40:09] Values are not just words on a board. You have to think about how these values will evolve over time. To stay true to that as a company you have to continue to innovate based on those values.  [42:50] There should be an inventory once a year of company values.   [44:35] Tessa's podcast Happy At Work talks about organizational culture, employee engagement, and how to create a positive workplace environment.   [45:09] Melina shares her closing thoughts.  [46:03] Your brand promise may not be the same as your core values...and even if you don't have something written out anywhere (yet) or aren't really living those days in and day out (yet) consider this an opportunity to look at those and see how you can be doing better.

Judit Csapo who was diagnosed five years ago and has recently pivoted her business and retrained to support more women through their cancer and health journey. Catherine Schopfer an online cancer coach who has been supporting women with their lifestyle and purpose for the decade following her own cancer journey, and    Dr. Cecilia Serban a medical doctor who worked with terminal cancer patients and who now focuses on helping women optimise their health and lifestyle.  We'll talk about how each of them has experienced the condition in a unique but equally significant way, as well as how they're each managing it. They will discuss their varied perspectives as patients, survivors, professionals and most of all, as women. Don't miss this empowering episode as these four courageous ladies will inspire and motivate you to enjoy greater health, wellbeing and happiness as they show you that this needn't be a journey of illness, but one of empowerment!   "It's time to communicate openly about breast cancer and to stop stigmatising the disease." -Sapna Pieroux   Highlights You will learn so much in this value-packed breast cancer awareness special: Sapna Pieroux Why publicly sharing her experience was so important for her  Why and how she told her two boys about her diagnosis Why her doctor called breast cancer an Affluent Disease. What guidance, based on her experiences, would she provide others. Judit Csapo How she managed the roller coaster of emotions in her cancer journey. Why she refers to her experience with cancer as a health journey How her experience had lead her to pivot her business to coach and support other women navigating their own health journeys following a cancer diagnosis.   "When going through this health journey, it is important to create a supportive social circle and a non-toxic environment." -Judit Csapo   Catherine Schopfer Why she calls cancer her friend. What women can do to lower their risk of developing breast cancer. The significant trends she has identified during her ten years of helping other breast cancer survivors that she believes women should be aware of right away. Dr. Cecilia Serban Her experience supporting breast cancer patients and their families What each physician wants their cancer patients to be aware of. The one questions every woman should ask their doctor after learning they have cancer, but few do. What can women do to assist their own medical care.   "When you are happy, when you are yourself, you feel this energy and the cells feel the same way. This is a means of self-defence or prevention." -Catherine Schopfer   You'll also hear all four women discussing: Why they firmly believe that you don't have to stand alone in your journey. Exactly what to do (and not do) to support a friend with breast cancer. How to manage your business around your cancer treatments.  If you would like to offer your support to breast cancer patients everywhere, and help fund the research that will help more women you can donate via Sapna's Just Giving page ‘Tits Behaving Bady'   "Everybody should know that they are not powerless, that they can take action to address the situation." -Dr. Cecilia Serban   About Sapna Multi award-winning brand consultant, designer, author and speaker: Sapna Pieroux is the founder of InnerVisions ID, a brand consultancy for ambitious, ethical, purpose-driven businesses.

Her latest research on employee activism was nominated for the Thinkers50 Breakthrough Idea Award. 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).
