Richard Osman is known for his wit, his bestselling novels, and his sharp eye for detail. But behind it all is a simple guiding habit: tip generously.For Richard, it's never just about money. Growing up tall and often feeling different gave him a deep sense of empathy, and over time he realised that generosity, whether through money, time, kindness, or attention, isn't an extra, it's essential. It's how we connect, build trust, and shape the kind of people we want to be.In this episode, we explore what Richard's philosophy of generosity can teach us about leadership, empathy, and happiness. Together, we explore:Why empathy often comes from our differencesHow generosity builds trust and connectionThe science of giving and why it makes us happierWhy small, everyday acts can shape who we becomeHow leaders and teams can practise “tipping generously”Because high performance isn't only about discipline and drive, it's also about compassion, empathy, and the quiet strength of lifting others as we go.Here is more information on the studies referenced: Spending money on others promotes happiness (Dunn, Aknin & Norton, 2008)What we get when we give (Harvard Medicine, 2023)Self-Determination Theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development, and well-being (Deci & Ryan, 2000)Influencing value priorities and increasing well-being: The effects of reflecting on intrinsic values (Lekes, Hope, Gouveia, Koestner & Philippe, 2012)Listen to the full episode with Richard Osman: https://pod.fo/e/26ea40 Hosted on Acast.

This episode is a little different because Alun turns the microphone toward me. After 456 episodes, it feels both strange and exciting to be the “guest” on my own show. Together, we reflect on the journey so far and then dive into a topic close to both our hearts: the human skills that make statisticians and quantitative scientists truly effective. We talk about leadership as helping others accomplish something, how to influence people across functions (not just departments), why being known inside your organization matters, and how presentation skills can make or break your impact. We wrap up with three actions you can start applying right away.

This disconnect between how we think clients should behave and how they actually show up is something I see coaches struggle with constantly - whether they're brand new or have been coaching for years. We create these unspoken rules and expectations for our clients, then feel disappointed when they don't follow them. The truth is, your clients' behavior isn't about you - it's about them being human. And the good news? You have way more influence over how your clients show up than you think. Through the four simple strategies I share in this episode, you can help your clients become better at being clients while also examining your own patterns and assumptions.

Dear HR Diary - The Unfiltered Truth You Wish They Taught in Management School
Send us a textIn this episode, Dawn sits down with Juan Alvarado, Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths® Coach. They discuss his journey into strengths coaching, the four domains (a.k.a. quadrants) of talent, how to apply strengths at work, and why intentional leadership beats accidental management every time. Most teams operate on autopilot. Juan argues for the opposite: intentional leadership that starts with knowing what you naturally do best and designing work around it. What We CoverJuan's path to coaching: from “good at people” to certified strengths pro—and what surprised him along the way.Strengths 101: understanding the four domains—Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, Strategic Thinking—and how they show up on real teams.Application at work: turning talent into performance with role design, partnerships, and strengths-based delegation.Intentionality in leadership: moving from “hope and hustle” to planned practice—weekly rhythms, 1:1s, and decision filters grounded in strengths.Pitfalls & myths: why Top 5 ≠ personality cages, and how to avoid weaponizing strengths.Culture impact: building a shared language so coaching and feedback get easier (and less awkward).Key TakeawaysStrengths ≠ skills. Strengths are your best starting points; you still need skill, practice, and feedback.Build partnerships on purpose. Pair high Strategic Thinking with Executing to move plans into motion.Coach the how, not just the what. Align goals with the way people naturally create value.Make it a rhythm, not a rally. Weekly 1:1s with two questions:Where did your strengths show up this week?Where could you aim them next week?Don't weaponize strengths. “That's just my [Theme]” is a red flag; maturity means flexing for impact.Try-It-This-Week (Manager Challenge)Map your role: List your Top 5. For each, write one sentence: “I create value when I…”Design one partnership: Pick a priority and pair yourself with someone whose domain complements yours.Upgrade one 1:1: Use the two questions above and commit to a 15-minute cadence for the next four weeks.Listener ResourcesStrengthsFinder 2.0 — Tom RathStrengths Based Leadership — Tom Rath & Barry ConchieFirst, Break All the Rules — Marcus Buckingham & Curt CoffmanNow, Discover Your Strengths — Marcus Buckingham & Donald O.

His interviews reveal the business models, technologies, and cultural shifts redefining prosperity in an age of ecological disruption. A serial entrepreneur, Josh launched Plantd, a carbon-negative building-materials company recognized by Fast Company in 2024 as one of the world's most innovative ventures. Before that, he created Vine.com, Amazon's first natural and organic e-commerce store, and Vivavi, an award-winning sustainable furniture company honored on Inc.'s “Green 50” for leading eco-design.

The jet stream, a fast-moving river of air thousands feet above Earth, steers storms and weather systems around the globe.Scientists have been studying how climate changes impact the jet stream for decades. Now, one study in the scientific journal Nature, discovered a jet stream behavior change.“The jet streams are shifting,” said Larry Di Girolamo, professor and climate researcher with the University of Illinois. Di Girolamo worked with NASA to gather statistics from Earth's atmosphere through the launch of a satellite carrying a Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer. Over the span of 25 years, his research showed that both subtropical and polar jet streams are shifting position and speed, leading to a change in weather patterns. “And this will continue as long as we continue to increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” Di Girolamo said.To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

Could Bill Belichick Get NFL Looks Next Year? NFL Owners Have too Much Power
The cheese and whey markets have been volatile due to their dependence on trade, and Mike Brown, vice president for dairy market intelligence at T.C. Jacoby & Company, says this is especially important for Wisconsin dairy farmers, since about 90 percent of the state’s milk goes into cheese. While the whey market behaves a little differently, he expects to see renewed investment in whey as Wisconsin continues producing award-winning cheeses. Brown notes that although the regulated minimum for Class III milk prices dropped with the Federal Milk Marketing Order update that took effect June 1, lower milk checks are also tied to other factors, including revenue declines for cheese processors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Teaching new skills is a lot of fun. But sometimes it seems to take forever. And since we all only have so much time to learn everything needed to maximize access to reinforcement in our lives, we don't really have the luxury of time to mess about. So, in good behavior analyst fashion, we look for a better way to min-max our learning activities. Thanks to our awesome patrons, we're talking about increasing the efficiency of skill acquisition through preference assessment, choice, , and reinforcement timing. So many options, but which ones actually matter when it comes to running the most efficient teaching sessions? Patrons receive a FREE CE for listening to this episode.
