Sandrine explains how managers have become the crucial layer holding transformation, well-being, and performance together, and why HR must put them back at the center of organizational strategy.She shares how AXA is supporting more than 4,000 managers worldwide through a human-centered approach built on listening, co-creation, and trust. Rather than relying solely on AI or digital training, Sandrine reveals how in-person connection, community, and peer learning have become AXA's secret to real development.From creating a “People Link” community to launching a global coaching platform, this episode is a roadmap for every HR leader trying to upskill managers while keeping the human touch alive.

How do you know if the person you recently hired is the right one? In this episode, Dr. Kuba and  Bethany discuss three recent examples where practice owners are evaluating this very question. At the 60 day point, one practice owner is already beginning to doubt her clinical assistant's skillset. Another practice owner is trying to decide if it's worth continuing to invest in his newest assistant who continues to buck the cultural norms of his practice. And yet, another practice owner likes her newest assistant (of 18 months) but the team can't stand her. Dr. Kuba gives her advice in each of these three scenarios in hopes that listeners have tools to use when they are trying to decide whether to hire or fire.  Previous Episodes Worth Revisiting: When to Call it Quits on an EmployeeHow to Effectively Welcome a New Employee 2026 Crash Course Dates are ALMOST GONE!!!

In today's episode, Bob ‘n Joyce dive into the pitfalls that often accompany the perceived benefits of outsourcing HR services. While outsourcing can seem like a smart move, especially on paper, it often brings unintended consequences—many of them negative—despite the best intentions and solid rationale. We're not anti-outsourcing, but we've seen the chaos that can result when the process isn't managed well. The good news? With the right approach, much of that chaos can be avoided. Here are a few of our thoughts on making outsourcing work for you rather than against you: • Pain points are inevitable with any major change—but a thoughtful process can minimize them. • When the primary rationale is purely financial, that's often a recipe for trouble. • If the risk-reward stakes are high, start small: a pilot phase can be a powerful learning tool. So come on in, grab a snack, and join us for a candid conversation about how to keep outsourcing from turning into an out-of-control adventure.

There's a stigma around the word “underwear”. You don't talk about it until you don't have it. -Catherine Maloy This week's guest is a mom who saw a simple need for children in crisis and made it her mission to do something about it. Catherine Maloy is the Founder & Executive Director of a non-profit called Cocotree Kids www.cocotreekids.org. Let's all agree: underwear is not glamorous, but it is fundamental. Without it, children may feel shamed, vulnerable, and excluded. Conceived during the pandemic and launched as a neighborhood clothing drive, Cocotree Kids has established 30 partnerships with hospitals, shelters, and schools, distributing 430,000 pairs of new underwear to 60,000 children throughout Massachusetts. “Underwear is an essential human need,” says Catherine. We want to give children in crisis the dignity, hope, comfort, and confidence they need to succeed, despite their circumstances.“ Originally from Miami, Florida, Catherine was raised in a home where philanthropic acts of service connected family to community. A 14-year veteran of Deloitte with a focus on Consulting and Human Resources, Catherine offers this advice: “Be a part of something bigger than yourself. Success is something you are supposed to be proud of.” For 20 minutes of empathy and innovation, just hit that download button. #children #non-profit #crisis #community

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Anna DiPasquale begins the podcast this week with her interview of Colleen Piechota, the Director of Human Resources at VEA Newport Beach, a stunning Marriott International resort and spa located right on the coast. Colleen shares her remarkable journey into the hospitality industry, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how she worked her way up to a leadership role in HR. Together, they discuss what a day in the life of an HR Director looks like—from shaping workplace culture and overseeing employee relations to handling training, hiring, and compliance in an ever-evolving industry. Colleen reflects on the skills and mindset needed to build strong, supportive teams and shares thoughtful insights on how the role of HR continues to evolve in today's business landscape. They conclude the episode with Colleen's take on the most underrated skills in HR and what truly defines great leadership. In the second segment Lily Bradbury sits down with John Bradbury, Managing Director of Global Issues and Crisis Management at Ketchum Inc. in New York City, a PR & Marketing Communications Consulting firm. Together, they dive into John's extensive experience in strategic communications and public relations, exploring how he helps corporate clients protect and enhance their reputations in high-pressure situations. John discusses the analytical and creative sides of crisis management, emphasizing how tailored communication strategies can engage diverse audiences while maintaining trust and transparency. John also reflects on his academic journey, beginning with his political science background, which gave him a strong foundation in stakeholder engagement and professional dialogue. He explains the differences between working with corporations versus individuals, highlighting his preference for the objectivity and collaboration found in corporate partnerships. Throughout the conversation, John offers valuable advice for students interested in communications and PR—stressing the importance of networking, internships, and the human connections that lie at the heart of the industry.

In this episode of the Business Leader's Voice podcast, Antonia Wade, Global Chief Marketing Officer for PwC, joins our Head of Content, Emma Carroll, to share her experience of PwC's recent rebrand.  Antonia shares insights on these matters and more:  Rather than focusing solely on demand generation, it is important that firms strategically invest at the broader brand level to increase awareness, perception, and consideration, especially as modern business requires reaching a broader set of C-suite executives than before.  Define distinctiveness through how work is done: Consulting firms should differentiate themselves by focusing on how they execute their services, rather than just what services they offer. A core component of brand strategy should be identifying and amplifying the distinctive ways your firm operates, which also aids in winning work as well as attracting and retaining top talent. It's important not to treat a brand transformation solely as a marketing exercise; instead, firms can establish co-ownership of the programme with other senior stakeholders and colleagues, including those from Human Resources, Account Management, and Client Experience, to achieve greater impact, relevance, and longevity.  Prioritise internal training for people. The workforce is the ultimate expression of you brand, so don't neglect internal buy-in. Provide compelling training on the brand's value and their ambassadorial role. Think about giving local teams the flexibility to adapt core materials and use other ways to secure commitment across regions.  To ensure brand efficacy, firms must establish a continuous client feedback loop. This process allows for constant refinement of the brand system, media spend, and service offerings. Effectiveness can be validated using tangible metrics like advertising recall, share of search, and proprietary brand consideration data.  If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In a recent episode, we talked to Ahmed Abdel Wahab, General Manager for India at Mars, about what it takes to be a truly authentic leader today, particularly in a time of volatility.

Changes in a practice are necessary. At times, changes are thrust upon a team, forcing them to pivot. Other times, the practice owner is watching the horizon for economic, technological, or financial impacts that may also force change. Regardless, change is necessary at times and also desirable at times. So, it can be extremely disheartening to have a team that refuses to follow their leader into new changes. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany discuss the difficultly of change and yet the importance of it. They also discuss how to view and manage team members that may be resisting the revisions. They end with an important message for all practice owners and team members – don't be a dingbat!  Previous Episodes Worth Revisiting: How to Help Your Team Bear FruitDental Practice Owners are Leaders 2026 Crash Course Dates are ALMOST GONE!!!

Dame Noeline Taurua was stood down as the coach of the Silver Ferns in September due to 'significant issues' in the team. After many public statements and interviews, she was reinstated at the end of last month. Netball NZ, her employer, remained just vague enough that the public could allow their imaginations to run wild about what had happened. Andrew Bayly, MP for Port Waikato, resigned as a Minister after an 'animated discussion' during which he placed his hand on a staffers arm. He said he was led to believe a complaint had been laid, and his resignation was in response to that - but he very recently discovered that no formal complaint was made. Luxon has since said about Bayly, that he would have sacked him if he hadn't resigned first. But what is the right way to go about an employment dispute like these?

Every once in a while, hopefully rarely, you get smacked with terribly sickening mistakes. There is a long list of “small mistakes” that practices make that feel less consequential – like incorrectly spelling a patient's name, communicating the wrong appointment date/time to a patient, or collecting an incorrect amount for treatment rendered. However, this episode focuses on some haunting mistakes that were brought to Dr. Kuba and Bethany's attention.  In these situations, mistakes were made by team members and associates, leaving the practice owners terribly exposed and at risk.

Welcome to episode #1007 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). The debate over hybrid work has become one of the most emotionally charged topics in business... but few people have studied it as deeply as Peter Cappelli, the George W. Taylor Professor of Management at the Wharton School and Director of its Center for Human Resources. In his latest book, In Praise Of The Office - The Limits To Hybrid And Remote Work, co-authored with Ranya Nehmeh, Peter challenges the idea that remote work is the inevitable future of knowledge work. Drawing from decades of research and real-world case studies, he argues that while technology has allowed us to untether from our desks, it has also quietly eroded the social fabric, mentorship and serendipity that make work meaningful, and organizations effective. In this conversation, Peter dives into the paradox of productivity versus connection, exploring why human resources has become more transactional, how AI is reshaping education and engagement, and why hybrid work often brings out the worst of both worlds when poorly managed. He also unpack how the office - once dismissed as a relic of corporate control - remains a critical engine for creativity, trust and long-term career growth. From the psychology of “coffee badging” to the economics of empty buildings, this discussion examines not just where we work, but what we risk losing when we stop showing up.

God's Existence: Truth or Fiction? the Answer Revealed by Gary R. Lindberg Garyrlindberg.com https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Existence-Fiction-Answer-Revealed/dp/1648042732 God's Existence: Truth or Fiction? The Answer Revealed By: Gary R. Lindberg Studying the existence of God, Lindberg takes a different approach by investigating science as well as Christian research. Lindberg's unique approach suggests that both science and the Bible were created by God and as a result the two say the same thing. Lindberg's message will show that science itself proves the existence of God because of the evidence presented.
