Welcome to A Change Question — a special mini-series from The Inner Game of Change.In each short, solo episode, I bring you one question worth sitting with — the kind that can spark both personal and professional shifts. In this episode, I explore a question many of us face when change arrives uninvited: What can I control when change is already on its way?From restructures to new technology, change often shows up before we're ready. The 3 P's — Place, Proximity, and Posture — offer a way to regain agency, even when the storm is already here.Drawing on neuroscience and lessons from history, I unpack how small, deliberate choices shift the brain from threat to action — and why missing those choices, like Kodak or the Maginot Line, can cost us dearly.

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change, the podcast where we explore the unseen forces that shape how we lead, adapt, and thrive in the face of change and transformation. Each episode is a chance to learn from thinkers, doers, and everyday leaders about what really makes change work — and what keeps it human.My guest is Rebecca Bultsma — an AI ethics researcher, power user, and someone who lives in that space between awe and dread of what AI can do. Rebecca has built her career helping leaders cut through the hype, face the risks, and still find practical, human-centred ways to use this technology without losing their soul or their job.In this episode, we explore the hype and the harm, the messy middle of adoption, and the accountability gaps that every business and every leader needs to face. And at the heart of it all, we talk about what it means to stay radically human in a world that is increasingly shaped by algorithms.I am grateful to have Rebecca chatting with me today. About Rebecca (In her words)The honest truth?I'm an AI Ethics researcher who uses AI all day. Yes, I see the irony. Yes, I'm navigating this contradiction in public. Daily.I help leaders who are somewhere between "AI will save us" and "AI will end us" find their actual footing. No BS, no fear-mongering, just practical strategies for using AI without losing your soul (or your job).What I actually do:Translate tech panic into action plans. I take 20 years of making complex things human-friendly (comms/PR veteran) and mix it with an MSc in AI Ethics from Edinburgh. The result? I can explain why AI is incredible AND terrifying in the same breath - and help you navigate both.The work:Keynotes that don't put you to sleep (50+ delivered, people actually stay awake)Workshops where we actually DO things (not just talk about them)Executive sessions for when you need to admit you don't get it (safe space, I promise)Currently obsessing over: AI governance that doesn't kill innovation, helping teachers not fear GenAI, and explaining to boards why "AI strategy" isn't optional anymore.ContactsRebecca's Profilelinkedin.com/in/rebecca-bultsmaWebsiterebeccabultsma.com/ (Company)Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn
Why does modern dating feel so rigged for failure? Why do so many of us keep dating the same person with a different face? Why do men and women seem to talk past each other, missing the very signals that could build intimacy—or destroy it?In this session, Dr. David Snyder pulls back the curtain on the psychology of attraction, revealing why most people struggle with dating, mating, and relating—and how to turn those frustrations into breakthroughs. Whether you're looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, or just Mr. or Mrs. Right Now, you'll discover actionable tools to make connections that actually last.Here's what you'll learn inside:Why modern dating dynamics are stacked against you—and how to flip the script.How to recognize and avoid the trap of “same person, different face.”The body language cues and “mating dance” signals that reveal real attraction.How to create trust, comfort, and connection faster than you thought possible.The secret to becoming the most fascinating conversationalist your date has ever met.If you've ever felt frustrated, rejected, or simply exhausted by the dating game, this training offers a roadmap to confidence, clarity, and connection.Quotes:"Confidence comes with taking action. Action comes from knowing what the hell you're doing.""You can't find a soulmate until you know who you are, what you want, and how you know that you're getting it.""The secret to making any form of attraction work is being able to pay attention to what the partner is doing, and being able to calibrate if what you're doing is moving them towards intimacy and connection or away from it."Key Takeaways:Define your "ideal partner template" by identifying your personal values, love language, and attachment style. Write down what you truly want in a partner and how you'll know when you've found it.Practice the "three magic questions protocol" to create engaging, trust-building conversations with new people. Focus on asking questions that encourage others to open up and share meaningful aspects of their lives.Reflect on your own patterns of projection in relationships. Ask yourself: “Am I assuming others think and feel the same way I do? How might this affect my interactions?”Make it a priority to approach dating and relationships with a sense of fun and curiosity, rather than pressure or expectation. Notice how your state of mind influences your attractiveness and the quality of your connections.Episode Timeline:[0:07:00] Webinar Structure & Audience Engagement Explanation of the three phases: Foundations, Next Steps, Customization.

Welcome to A Change Question — a special mini-series from The Inner Game of Change.In each short, solo episode, I bring you one question worth sitting with — the kind that can spark both personal and professional shifts. In this episode, I explore a question we often avoid: How do I initiate change in the workplace?History shows us that change rarely starts with permission. It begins with a first step — often small, often risky — and gains power when followed by the second step that makes it stick.From neuroscience to practical strategies, this episode unpacks why the first move matters, how to position it well, and what happens if you don't make it… because someone else will.

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change, the podcast where we explore the unseen forces that shape how we lead, adapt, and thrive in the face of change and transformation. Every so often, I like to step outside and look at what I call the Outer Game of Change—that wider perspective where leaders and influencers shape the systems we all work within.Today, I am joined by Greg Sawyer, CEO of CAUDIT, the Council of Australasian University Directors of IT. Greg has been at the centre of some of the most pressing conversations in higher education—AI, cybersecurity, the evolving role of CIOs, and the signals shaping our future through CAUDIT's annual Top 10. For nearly two decades, the Top 10 has been a compass for CIOs, surfacing the sector's priorities and giving leaders a shared language to act on.In this conversation, Greg shares why IT is not a cost centre but an enabler, how CIOs are stepping up as strategic leaders, and why sharing knowledge across institutions is one of the sector's greatest superpowers.I truly enjoyed this exchange with Greg and I know you will find it insightful too.About GregSeasoned leader and technologist. I have worn many hats in my career - geek, engineer, manager, director, architect, program/ project manager, security, cybersecurity, and soldier. As a result, I have a unique ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams, lead strategic delivery and projects to navigate complex challenges. This unique focus and experience has taught my professional value boils down to:- I don't care who gets the credit. I just want to win. I know how to get things done to make it happen.- Relationships matter and they make work fun. - I speak many languages – geek, executive, designer, customer, board member, plain English and difficult client. Listening rather than speaking makes the difference.- I have been in technology and communication for most of my life. It's what I do.- Leading people comes naturally.- I make decisions, I own my decisions and can admit to wrong decisions. But I then own moving that forward to the outcome.- I don't know everything, but I can learn quickly to make informed decisions.- I dance in the storm.Contact GregGreg's Profilelinkedin.com/in/sawyergregEmailgreg.sawyer@outlook.comSend us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

In this episode of Change Leader Insights, Jessica Crow speaks with Jen Coken, an internationally recognized executive leadership coach, speaker, and best-selling author, about the “inner game” of leadership and how women can own their authority, lead authentically, and overcome imposter moments. Featured on ABC, MSNBC, and TEDx, Jen has 25 years of experience empowering leaders to break barriers and lead boldly. Known for her no-nonsense style and relatable humor, she has coached nearly 10,000 global leaders, including Fortune 1000 CEOs, to drive meaningful transformation.

Her philosophy centers on building inner authority (authenticity) and outer influence (inspiring teams), while also managing the “hidden leader” moments when self-doubt or external criticism can cause leaders to shrink. Highlights from the conversation include: ☑️ The four leadership types and how they can help leaders guide teams through change more effectively ☑️ How to address high performers who create resistance or undermine transformation efforts ☑️ Tools for overcoming self-doubt, and how to position yourself for leadership during times of transition If you want to learn how to build unshakable confidence, inspire your team, and lead meaningful change while staying true to yourself, you won't want to miss Jen's insights in this episode.

Today, Dr. Noah St. John is here to challenge everything you thought you knew about why some people thrive and others get stuck. If you want to level up your success in any area of your life, the first thing you must do is to change your mindset. Dr. Noah is going to show you how to conquer the "head trash" that holds us back, break through income plateaus, and unlock results.Meet Dr. Noah St. JohnDr. Noah has been teaching clients for 30 years and is credited with helping them add a collective $3 billion in revenue. He is known as the "Done with Head Trash" guy and is a leader of the movement to help people get past their self-imposed limitations. He has written 25 books on the subject and has helped individuals and organizations ranging from 100 to 10,000.Inner Game vs. Outer Game: The 80% RuleDr. Noah argues that success is at least 80% about your "inner game". The inner game is everything happening in your mind, including the beliefs and stories you tell yourself. While "outer game" activities like making calls and sending emails are important, Dr. Noah emphasizes that mindset is the true bottleneck for most people.Clearing Out the "Head Trash"Dr. Noah defines "head trash" as the internal voice that says, "I can't because...". This self-limiting dialogue is what prevents sales professionals and entrepreneurs from reaching their full potential. He explains that by identifying and clearing this mental clutter, you can stop proving your own limitations right.From $4 Million to $20 Million: A Real-Life ExampleDr. Noah shares a powerful case study about a client whose company was stuck at $4 million in revenue for four years. After hiring Dr. Noah, they focused on the inner game, and in less than 18 months, the company's revenue skyrocketed to over $20 million. This success was a direct result of addressing the team's mindset, not just their outer game tactics.Practical Steps to Break FreeWant to get off the "hamster wheel"? Dr. Noah gives steps to take right away.Get Clear on Your Goals: You must be specific about what you want to achieve, whether it's more money or a better relationship.Identify Your Limitations: Pinpoint the reasons you think you can't reach your goals, like not having enough time, money, or confidence.Take Action (Even Without Confidence): The myth that confidence comes first is dismantled here. Dr. Noah stresses that you build confidence by taking action, even if you don't feel ready.Advice for Sales LeadersFor those who lead teams, Dr. Noah suggests bringing in outside help to create a mindset shift. He offers resources, including his online course, and invites leaders to book him to train their teams. By focusing on mindset training and goal-setting exercises, leaders can unlock next-level results and help their teams become unstoppable.“If you take action even if you don't believe, confidence will come. Most people wait for confidence, but it's action that really unlocks it.” - Dr. Noah St. John.ResourcesDone With Head Trash Course: donewithheadtrash.com — Dr. Noah's self-paced program to transform limiting beliefs.Main Website for Programs/Resources: noahstjohn.com — Books, courses, and tools for entrepreneurs and sales professionals.To Book Dr. Noah for Speaking/Training:

Welcome to our new series, The Inner Game of Real Estate Success, with the high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter. What if the frustration, inconsistency, and self-sabotage you're experiencing in business aren't random—but the result of outdated subconscious programs running the show? In this episode, Paul breaks down what destructive mindset programs are, why they form, and how they silently shape your results. You'll learn how these hidden patterns fuel fear, doubt, and sabotage—and why your mind clings to them, even when they no longer serve you. Paul also shares a personal story about how fear and anxiety around money kept him stuck - for years - and how hypnosis helped him dismantle those beliefs. We'll separate myth from science and explore how hypnosis works to rewire your subconscious, unlock better performance, and create real, lasting change.

Micro-habits and rest are not signs of weakness but essential for sustained creativity and leadership.Integration, Not Balance: We're not meant to keep work and life in separate silos. Thriving as leaders means integrating our professional ambitions with our deeper personal values.Purpose Fuels Action: Checking in with yourself about your true motivations isn't just self-care—it shapes your decisions, your team's culture, and your overall impact, whether you're leading a Fortune 500 company or launching a mission-driven startup.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

What if the workplace friction you face daily isn't just “how things are” but something you can change? In this eye-opening conversation, Margaret Graziano—bestselling author of Ignite Culture—shares how most dysfunction at work is created, not inevitable. Drawing from decades of experience and research in neuroscience and organizational development, Margie empowers us to stop pointing fingers and start looking within.Science shows that 75% of employees experience high stress, much of it due to interpersonal conflict. When triggered, our brain's executive function shuts down, leading to poor decisions. Margie introduces a powerful formula—Performance = Potential - Interference—revealing that removing emotional and relational blockers is just as important as building skills or talent.This episode delivers practical tools like the SCULPT method to shift from reaction to response and strategies for team alignment. Whether you're a leader or team member, Margie's insights offer a roadmap to building healthy, high-performing cultures—starting with one powerful question: What role am I playing in the problems I see?
