 In today's workplaces, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are two widely used frameworks to drive performance and accountability. While KPIs focus on tracking performance through specific metrics—think sales numbers, response times, or customer satisfaction—OKRs are more about setting bold, aspirational goals with measurable outcomes that align teams around a shared purpose. As Gen Z enters the workforce, with their strong preference for meaning, transparency, and impact, the way organizations design and communicate these goals becomes even more important. In this episode, we explore how these frameworks resonate with Gen Z: Do they feel empowered or boxed in by structured goal setting? And how can companies evolve their approach to performance management to better engage this values-driven generation?Find out more in this episode, as Leadership Expert Kennet Lewise helps us to understand Why goal setting matters more than ever in today's fast-changing workplace?How Gen Z views goal setting: structure vs. autonomyDo traditional OKRs feel too rigid or just right for Gen Z?Making OKRs meaningful: the role of purpose and impactThe importance of real-time feedback and recognition in the OKR cycleCo-creating OKRs: How managers can engage Gen Z in the processPitfalls to avoid when applying OKRs with younger teamsReal-life examples of how OKRs have helped—or hurt—Gen Z engagementTips for making OKRs more inclusive, transparent, and motivatingThe future of performance management in a Gen Z-driven workplace 45 Best Gen Z Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Find Us OnlineKenneth Lewis  : Website, LinkedInNikhil :  Website,  Linkedin, Youtube & Book

“Sound is probably one of the most prevalent things that we focus on with our children at Operation Smile. And you know, they're so thankful that they have, they work as hard on their homework for speech therapy as they do in school, right? And, you know, as both of us sort of being maybe teased and bullied in school, maybe we were actually, excited about doing our homework. And maybe we did study a little bit harder, and we did our homework. These kids are amazing pupils when they know that they're getting this free therapy to help optimize their speaking, and then you go back a year later and then you hear the kids again, and you understand every word that they say. It just puts a smile on your face.” – Mark Climie-Elliott This episode is the second half of my discussion with CEO and Chief Smile Officer of Operation Smile Canada Foundation Mark Climie-Elliott as we talk about Mark's work with Laura, a particularly memorable patient who's gone on to make a positive influence of her own, the time and effort that building language skills can take even after a successful cleft-palate surgery, and more about Operation Smile's plans to open a hundred new hospitals around the world over the next five years.This conversation is being released during Podcasthon, so thank you to Jeremie and all the wonderful staff there putting this initiative together.

And so she shared the story of her journey and the parents, all of a sudden, like those tears that were running down their faces became tears of joy.”(0:08:20) - Stories of Resilient Cleft Lip PatientsMark and I talk about our own experiences with bullying, and how it impacts the children Operation Smile works with.

Nonprofit leaders have a lot going on in terms of advocacy we need to be doing with Congress. And I'm hearing from a lot of my clients and the folks in my coaching programs, saying “Just strip it down for me. What's the messaging we need to be using? Give me a framework so that I can keep this simple.”I totally understand the need for that, and I'm right here with you. We've got so much coming at us all the time that sometimes the best thing is to just keep it short and sweet and simple. So I'm sharing a very simple set of elements that go in a messaging framework for just about anything you'll be advocating with Congress for in the near future. Because pretty much all eyes are on your federal funding, trying to make sure that we maintain federal funding for safety net programs, and specifically for the funding you get to do the work you do. You can take that five-piece framework and build 99% of your messaging to your members of Congress around that right now. This doesn't have to be complicated.In this episode, we share:The three things we need our members of Congress to understand about our workWhat belongs in your core story of your impactThe essential dots you need to connect in your advocacy messagingThe two sides of the investment coin that you need to communicate to your Member of CongressHow to effectively embed critical counters to right propaganda throughout your messagingThe two core asks to focus on with your Member of CongressLinks:Episode 84 – How to Deal with the RIght Wing's "Waste, Fraud & Abuse" PropagandaQuestions?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, text the show.Welcome to The CallingWelcome, beauties. In this episode, we continue exploring the essence of healing and expand on the idea that healing is being and being is healing. As healers, guides, and light activators, our role extends beyond fixing and restoring, we are here to break limiting perceptions and expand consciousness.Today, I invite you to ask a profound question: If so many healers and light workers exist, why does the world not appear healthier? We will explore the unseen forces that shape our reality, the limitations we impose on ourselves, and the power of fully embracing our divine nature. This episode is a call to step beyond personal healing and into true transformation, for ourselves, for others, and for the world.Episode SummaryHealing is not just about solving problems or bringing things back to balance, it is about creating expansion. Yet many of us, as healers and light workers, unconsciously limit ourselves. We may hesitate to fully own our power, suppress our voices, or hold back our light.In this episode, I explore:The question of why so much healing work exists, yet the world still strugglesHow societal conditioning and self-imposed limitations prevent us from fully stepping into our roleThe power of faith and recognising ourselves as divine extensionsHow fear of power and responsibility holds us back from true impactThe importance of fully using our voice and embracing our role as creators and leadersThis is an invitation to reflect on what we are not seeing, what we are not doing, and how we can step beyond our personal healing work to create a greater shift in consciousness.Key TakeawaysHealing is not just about fixing - it is about expansion and transformation.Many healers unconsciously limit themselves due to fear, societal expectations, or doubt.To truly heal, we must embrace our divine nature and recognise ourselves as powerful creators.The world reflects our collective consciousness - by shifting our awareness, we influence global transformation.Our voice and presence are essential tools for healing - we must use them fully and without hesitation.True healing happens when our ability to receive divine wisdom matches our willingness to share it.Join the conversation in the comments: Share your reflections on how you embrace your divine power.Let's Continue This ExplorationIn what ways are you holding back your power, your voice, or your presence?How can you step beyond personal healing into a greater role of transformation?I invite you to reflect and share your insights in the comments. Let's expand this conversation together.Next Episode TeaserJoin me next time as we continue this journey of expansion, presence, and deep transformation.Until then, may you embrace your presence, your voice, and your divine power.
