Podcasts about interviewer

One of the biggest mistakes job candidates make is thinking the interview is only about what they say. So they spend all their time preparing answers and trying to sound impressive. Meanwhile… The interviewers are reacting, signaling, judging, connecting, disengaging, leaning in, checking out, growing skeptical, getting interested, and making real-time decisions based on how they feel. Most job candidates never notice any of it. They walk out thinking, That went pretty well. Then they never hear back. Ouch. Strong candidates don't just answer questions.

I dette afsnit af ’Poptillægget’ ringer Lucia Odoom til sanger, producer og danser FKA Twigs, der er kendt for at bygge verdener i sin musik – senest på de to album ’Eusexua’ og ’Eusexua Afterglow’. Med sin blanding af electronica, ambient, klassisk musik og avantgardistisk R&B har hun indtaget scener over hele verden med koncerter, der mest af alt minder om performancekunst. Da hun lagde vejen forbi Roskilde Festival i sommer, var der både et samuraisvær og en stripperstang på scenen. Her laver Lucia Odoom og FKA Twigs et mixtape over de stemmer, der har været med til at forme hendes helt særlige lyd. Og det er folk lige fra Patti Smith til den ikoniske koreograf Pina Bausch.

Bag om Københavnerhistorikerne er et supplement til Bag om København, og i denne udgave kan du møde idéhistoriker, forsker og forfatter Astrid Nonbo Andersen. Astrid Nonbo Andersen er denne måneds københavnerhistoriker. Hun arbejder bl.a. med kolonihistorie og erindringshistorie, og i hendes seneste bog 'Monumentet' kommer vi med på en tur gennem de kunstneriske og politiske miljøer i mellemkrigstiden, hvor mange af de forestillinger, som vi stadig møder om Grønland, blev skabt. For hvad er det for et monument, Grønlandsmonumentet på Christianshavns Torv? Hvorfor er det skabt? Hvad skal det fortælle? Sammen med Martine Lind Krebs har Astrid Nonbo Andersen afdækket forestillinger om Grønland i Danmark og blandt danskerne de sidste hundrede år. Bag om Københavnerhistorikerne er et møde med de mennesker, der skriver om eller i København. Fælles for dem er, at de er historiefortællere: Det er dem, der undersøger og skaber de fortællinger om København, som vi bruger til at blive klogere på byen og dens lange og mangesidede historie.

Her Dad Found a Rolex and Returned It. What That Taught Her About Asking for Everything. Her father came to the United States in 1989 with next to nothing. He found a Rolex in a locker room while working as a janitor and returned it. The owner gave him a job. He stayed 27 years. In that time, he asked his employer for a green card. They sponsored it. He asked for college tuition. They paid for his associate's and his bachelor's degree. He asked to pivot into chemistry. They made a role for it. Darlene Reina watched all of this and had one thought: if he could ask for all of that with nothing in his pocket and no English, why was she self-editing her ambitions? She stopped. Now she opens job interviews by telling the people who will decide whether to hire her exactly what she wants: to be CIO of an organization. She told her future boss. She told the Calendly interviewer. Both were supportive. She uses it as a filter. Darlene is Head of IT at Calendly, and in this episode she breaks down the frameworks she's built for speaking up, pitching ideas, and asking for exactly what she wants without apology. You'll learn: How to know which conversations are worth inserting yourself into, and which ones to let go based on span of control, stakeholder complexity, and how badly you want the outcome. The self-interest framework: why "selfless" leads to burnout, "selfish" kills collaboration, and the middle zone of self-interest is where real buy-in happens. Why she describes senior leadership as "glorified salespeople" and what changed when she stopped clicking on the backend and started selling visions instead. The "directionally correct" approach to numbers: why giving a C-suite executive "$270K plus or minus 20%" is infinitely more persuasive than "decreased time" or a 6-decimal-point calculation that took two weeks to produce. How self-editing language like "I think the answer might be..." quietly signals low confidence, and how to hit the delete button on it. Why she tells every interviewer exactly what she wants out of her career, and how she uses their response as a filter for whether the organization is actually a place where she can grow. About Darlene Reina: Head of IT at Calendly, Darlene has built her career at the intersection of technology leadership and organizational influence. Originally from a Venezuelan family in Rhode Island, she leads IT strategy and operations at one of the most widely used scheduling platforms in the world. She is candid, direct, and unabashedly ambitious. Connect with Darlene on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darlene-reina/

Es ist einer der grössten Schweizer Medizin-Skandale der jüngeren Geschichte. In dessen Zentrum steht Francesco Maisano, der ehemalige Leiter der Herzchirurgie am Universitätsspital Zürich (USZ). Konkret sollen Patienten gefährdet worden sein, indem Maisano selbst entwickelte Implantate getestet und Komplikationen unterschlagen habe. Eine Untersuchung am USZ kommt nun zu einem erschütternden Schluss: Während Maisanos Amtszeit gab es statistisch gesehen rund 70 Todesfälle zu viel in der Herzchirurgie. Patientinnen und Patienten seien gefährdet worden, teilte das USZ am Dienstag mit. Der «Tages-Anzeiger» deckte den Fall vor rund sechs Jahren auf, gestützt auf Hinweise eines Whistleblowers. Seither bestreitet Maisano die Vorwürfe. Im Rahmen des aktuellen Untersuchungsberichts bestreitet er, individuell rechtlich verantwortlich zu sein für die beschriebenen Probleme. Catherine Boss und Roland Gamp vom Tamedia Recherchedesk haben die Vorwürfe gegen Maisano damals erstmals publik gemacht. In der neusten Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» erzählen sie, was der Bericht des USZ offenlegt und was dieser für die Medizinbranche und die Spitalführung bedeutet. Host: Alexandra Aregger Produzentin: Valeria Mazzeo Mehr zum Fall Maisano Skandal am Unispital: 70 tote Patienten zu viel an Zürcher Herzklinik Ein Bericht zeigt schwere Verfehlungen durch Ex-Klinikchef Francesco Maisano Whistleblower im Interview: Er deckte die Zürcher Herzklinik-Affäre auf Das sind die Hauptfiguren im Fall Maisano Apropos-Folge zum Fall des Berner Starchirurgen vor Gericht   Unser Tagi-Spezialangebot für Podcast-Hörer:innen: tagiabo.chHabt ihr Feedback, Ideen oder Kritik zu «Apropos»?

In this reflection episode, Jocelynn takes off the "Interviewer" hat and steps into the "Coach's" seat. After modeling student consultations in Episode 11, she dives deep into the four core "Treasures" that were unearthed during those conversations. This isn't just about what was said—it's about how we as educators Reflect, Learn, and Implement the truth to build radical trust in our classrooms.The 4 Treasures Revealed:Connection Over Everything: Why the "Getting to Know You" worksheets we rely on often miss the mark, and what students actually crave instead.Scaffold, Scaffold, Scaffold: A look at how shifting our language from the abstract to the concrete (e.g., from "Mapping" to "Planning") unlocks the brilliance of every learner.Pause & Excavate: The power of the "Gold Statement." Why we must be willing to stop the script and "excavate" when a student shares a deep truth.Theory into Practice: Moving from the "How" to the "Do." How the Friday Lab and Co-Design routines turn student voice into the engine of classroom culture.What You'll Hear in This Episode:The Trust Loop: Understanding that it's not enough to know your students; they must know that they are known.Structured Independence: A tactical breakdown of the "Friday Lab" (Reader's/Writer's Workshop and Social Studies Lab) and how it creates the space for 1-on-1 advocacy.The Co-Design Lab: Defining the collaborative workspace where students become the architects of their own learning.Radical Grace: Reflections on the "simmer down" period and the necessity of processing our own emotions before advocating for change.Featured Resources:The First 10 Days: Building a Welcoming & Respectful Classroom of BelongingThe Student Connection Profile ToolCoaching Corner Highlights:Anchor Question: What are my students learning about themselves when I give them the space to plan?Implementation Intention: “This week, I will facilitate a Co-Design Lab during the last 20 minutes of class on Friday to brainstorm our next unit.”

My guest this week is one of Britain's most respected and fearless journalists. Cathy Newman spent twenty years at Channel 4 News, interviewed eight Prime Ministers, and broke some of the biggest stories of the last decade — including the investigation that led to the Archbishop of Canterbury resigning for the first time in history. She's just been named Journalist of the Year and Interviewer of the Year, and she's now embarking on an exciting new chapter at Sky News fronting her own show. But away from the headlines and the political interviews, who is Cathy Newman? What drives her, what has she sacrificed, and what does it feel like to be at this particular midpoint — leaving somewhere you've called home for two decades and stepping into something completely new? This is a really honest and fascinating conversation and I think you're going to enjoy it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we talk about the importance of you, the candidate, never ever giving the interviewer the benefit of the doubt, why this is vital, how to do this in a case and the improvement it will immediately deliver. The main value of adopting this mindset is that you tend to explain everything to the interviewer because you assume he is not aware of all the answers. If you enter an interview, assuming the interview is "perfect", you will tend to make assumptions which hurt your chances and damage your image.   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf Enjoying this episode?

But here's what nobody's asking: does a Gen Z grad feel the same way about a bot interviewer as a mid-career professional?   Does a neurodivergent candidate experience relief or anxiety? Are underrepresented groups finding equity -or erasure - in automated screening?   We're diving deep into the demographic divide nobody's measuring.   In this session, we'll unpack: • Do younger candidates actually prefer AI screens, or is that a myth? • How do gender differences show up in AI interview comfort levels? • What do candidates with disabilities really think about voice-analysis tools? • Are multilingual candidates disadvantaged by English-first AI systems? • Does AI reduce bias for candidates of color—or encode new barriers? • How do socioeconomic backgrounds shape "digital interview readiness"? • What makes veterans trust (or distrust) algorithmic evaluation? • Are remote rural candidates leveling up or getting left behind? • How do parenting status and career gaps interact with AI screening? • Which demographics are quietly dropping out of your AI funnel?   Recruiters, HR leaders, TA innovators - this one's for you We're with Kevin Grossman, Oana Iordachescu, Yaz Dalal and friends, on Friday 10th April, 2pm GMT / 7 am PT / 3pm CET.

Jessica Obermeyer, welcome to the podcast, and thanks for being here. Jessica Obermeyer Thank you. It's a pleasure. Lyssa Rome So I wanted to get started with a question we often ask, which is: How did you get into this? Was there an aha moment for you and what led you to research aphasia? Jessica Obermeyer That's a great question. I think it was more of a slow awakening and journey to realizing that this is how I wanted to spend my days. When I started studying speech language pathology, I knew I wanted to work in adult rehab with people with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and aphasia. But as an undergraduate and a masters student, I worked on a lot of research related to traumatic brain injury and cognition. But then I had some exposure to aphasia research, and as a clinician, I just loved working with people that had aphasia. I loved running aphasia groups. I started aphasia groups, and when I decided to go back for my PhD, that is what I wanted to focus on. I also had the opportunity to work in adult outpatient, so I got to see a lot of people that had aphasia and were at different points in their rehabilitation journey. And those experiences just made me want to continue and especially do research that could develop and evaluate different treatment approaches for people that had aphasia. Lyssa Rome One of the sort of through lines in your research has been discourse. And I'm curious about how you landed on that as the focus of your work, why discourse? Jessica Obermeyer It's how we talk. It was always, you know, something I was interested in. I think, as a clinician, I felt really daunted by discourse, because it is laborious, you know, it takes a lot of time to think about how you're going to analyze it. But I was always so fascinated by all the linguistic components that make up discourse as a clinician. And then I think as a researcher, I really appreciate how important it is. Everything we do in our day to day lives is often at a discourse level, and that looks so different depending on the type of discourse. So your text exchange is discourse, your emails, your conversations, the interaction with a barista. You know, every kind of functional way that we communicate is often at a discourse level. But it's so different depending on what that interaction looks like, and that's just endlessly fascinating to me as a researcher… challenging but fascinating. Lyssa Rome Challenging both to evaluate and, I guess, to some extent, to treat. One of the things that I really appreciate is that it's how we communicate in our daily lives, and so if we're thinking about life participation and sort of functional approaches to treatment, to my mind, discourse is kind of where it's at. So I'm really excited to get to talk to you more about it. So speaking of discourse, I thought we could talk about your work on ARCS. Maybe we could start by telling us a little bit about the origins and how you became involved in researching. Jessica Obermeyer Yes, I'd be happy to. I started doing research with ARCS as a doctoral student. So it's been a long time, but the origin of ARCS, or Attentive Reading with Constrained Summarization, started with Yvonne Rogalski and Lisa Edmonds, and they published the first paper, I think, in 2009, but someone should go back to check that, and it was originally for someone that had primary progressive aphasia. And then there was another paper published for two people with Wernicke's aphasia. So in the original version, it's based on constrained summarization, and constrained only in that you're giving someone guidelines for how to summarize so they have to read through a segment of text. Usually it's a current event article, but clinically, you could use pretty much any written text. And I've actually done it with someone listening as well. Typically with ARCS, you would have someone read a segment of written text and then summarize it with the constraint or guideline to be specific. So avoid words like it, stuff, thing, he, she. So use that really intentional word retrieval. That's not what we typically do. We often use non-specific words, but it's that therapeutic, like try to go for the really precise and specific word exercise that retrieval and to also stay on topic, so try not to add a tangent, or, you know, additional information that's not related to what you're reading. And then in my work, I've added an additional guideline that's just based on what that person needs. So if they're repeating a lot, then that might be part of the guideline. Often, the guideline is to try to include the essential information that you've identified already. So that's the origin of ARCS. And as a doctoral student, I really wanted to do treatment research. I became really interested in cooperative learning theory, in how people can work together in their learning, collaborate to improve learning. And when I was doing that, reading and thinking about cooperative learning, writing seemed like such an excellent tool for that, because I think one of the hard things about spoken language is that it's just gone. You say it, it's gone. It's very hard to monitor, which I'm acutely aware of right now in this recording. But with written text, you have this wonderful record of what you've produced, and that can be really helpful for thinking about language and planning, especially in an approach like ARCS or ARCS-W that emphasizes this planning, process-driven component, where you're thinking about, "What do I need to include in this discourse? What's important? What's not important? And what have I actually produced? Does that meet, you know, the guidelines I've tried to meet?" So that's how writing actually got pulled into it. And I wanted to keep the spoken language because, I don't know that I've ever met someone with aphasia who told me they didn't want to continue exercising their spoken language, but the writing was just I think, an important addition, because there are so few written discourse treatment options. And it allowed for this emphasis on monitoring and planning and some of the cognitive components of discourse that can be hard to address. Lyssa Rome And maybe you could say a little bit about what you found when you've studied ARCS-W, so the Attentive Reading and Constrained Summarization-Written. Jessica Obermeyer Well, people have improved, which is great. So the one of the things about ARCS and ARCS-W that's maybe unique when we think about aphasia treatment as a whole, is that it's not a treatment with trained items, so no items are repeated. You're working on the process of discourse production, this process of monitoring and trying to be specific, be efficient, you know. In written discourse, people have made improvements in correct information units or CIUs. So at the word level in discourse, the amount of informative and correct information that they're producing, people have made improvements at the utterance level, where they're producing more relevant utterances and more utterances that have a basic sentence structure, and then this hasn't been looked at in all of the studies, but for some of the participants, where we've measured things like main concepts, the amount that the person is conveying the main ideas or concepts in the discourse has improved for some people as well. And then at this spoken discourse. So ARCS-W, it's half spoken, half written. Basically, people have also made similar improvements. So it's been encouraging so far, ARCS-W I would say, compared to ARCS is for people in the more mild aphasia end of the spectrum, especially with the writing component. Any clinician who's worked with people with aphasia will know that writing is often a stressful thing for people with aphasia. So it's for people that are writing at a phrase level already. It doesn't mean that their spelling is perfect, but if they're really struggling to get out a single word, this is probably not the ideal you know treatment for them, but for folks that are more on the mild end who want to work on spoken and written discourse, we have seen some positive results in their spoken and written discourse production. Another thing that I think is really important for this treatment is that it is so multi-modality. When we write normally, we're reading as well. You know, we're not just writing in a vacuum. A lot of the time. We're rereading our text, we are reading that text message and then responding to it. So I like that. I like multi-modality treatments. I like that this is a treatment that allows people to address multiple types of language goals, while, you know, keeping it pretty simple and low tech. Lyssa Rome I think that that really hits on one of the reasons that I like using ARCS-W in my work with people is that It can be used with so many different kinds of texts. So I've used both, you know, work emails, if their goal is to get back to work, newspaper articles that interest them, simplified newspaper articles that interest there's so many possibilities. And anyway, it's exciting to hear you talk about that. Jessica Obermeyer Yeah, I think that as a clinician, that's why I liked ARCS. It was so flexible, so easy to implement. And that's definitely one of the things I like about ARCS-W as well. Make treatment work hard for you. Lyssa Rome So that is interesting to people as well. Where are you going next with your ARCS research? Jessica Obermeyer Great question. I'm writing up results from about six people we ran over the last couple years, so that, I hope, gets submitted for publication soon. And I would really like to adapt this treatment a little further to use more assistive technology for folks that are really wanting to write, but aren't wedded to handwriting or typing in a traditional sense. So can we use speech-to-text? I always mix it up. And can we use methods to support people producing written language that are, you know, different than just typing it? Because people have really different needs in their life. So if that is a way to meet their writing needs, excellent, and I'd like to do that in the future. Lyssa Rome I think that gets back to this idea that it's so flexible, right? You could adapt it in so many different ways. I think that that's really exciting, because it sort of further underscores the flexibility of this approach. And we were talking earlier, before we started recording, about using the same ARCS framework, or ARCS-W framework for material that clients have listened to, things like podcasts or TED Talks. So it seems like it's so adaptable, which is part of what I think makes it really exciting. Jessica Obermeyer I think that's a great idea. We actually did use listening and then summarization for one of the participants in the first arc study, because that met their profile. That's how they wanted to interact with the treatment, and it worked out really well for them, and it's a great way to incorporate people's different interests. Not everyone wants to read, so being able to listen is a great option. And in the treatment for everybody, they always select their writing modality so they can either hand write or type, depending on what's relevant for them. In the population of people that have aphasia now, and I know that this will change over time, people have really different comfort levels with technology and with typing. So if someone says, "No, I never typed. I want to handwrite," then we can do that. And if, if it's the other, we can type. So I think listening is just another way to make it meet someone's needs better. Lyssa Rome I was hoping that you could talk a little bit more about the similarities and differences between different types of discourse. So spoken and written discourse, typed and versus handwritten discourse. Tell us a little bit more about that. Jessica Obermeyer Yeah, of course. Well, I should, I guess, start off by saying, working on the ARCS-W treatment research, I recognized just how little information is out there on written discourse and the majority of discourse measures that we use in aphasiology are based on spoken discourse production. But there are differences in how we speak versus how we write. So in spoken language, we've already talked a little bit about this, it's temporal, it's just gone. So writing is tangible. You have a record of your writing, and that can be really beneficial for people with aphasia. But of course, there's there's other things that can make writing more challenging as well. With spoken language, of course, we have the suprasegmental components of what we're saying. So we have our tone and our facial expression and things that allow us to impart meaning without actually saying it, and we don't have that in writing. Although things are shifting with text messaging technologies, we can add emojis and memes that help us communicate information. But I think when we're thinking about traditional writing, it doesn't have those additional components, and therefore people have to be more explicit with their word choice and a little more clear in what they're trying to say. People are often more efficient in writing. They use fewer words than they would in speaking. So those are some of the differences. We can't automatically correct our written output because we see that our partner doesn't understand. Because in writing, there's this distance between when we're writing versus when we think someone's reading it. Even in more instant platforms like text messaging, we don't know exactly when someone's reading something or how their face looks when they read it, in the way we know with speaking. So those differences do impact how we complete the task. And of course, the context of writing changes it dramatically. So you write notes to yourself really differently than you write a research paper or a work email. And that's not so different from speaking, right? The context is still going to impact how we speak or write, very much. So in my work, I've looked at how writing and typing are the same or different. And this is a pretty new area. There's a couple papers out there on it now, and I think it's gaining traction, which is great, because most people write through typing in their daily life now. What I found is that at a group level, it's pretty similar. Writing and typing look pretty similar for people that have aphasia. But individually it can be very different. So an individual person with aphasia might have a strength or weakness in handwriting versus typing for lots of different possible reasons, like their experience, or hemiparesis, their desire to do one or the other. But it's not, the patterns aren't completely clear. I think clinicians are probably really used to hearing that every individual with aphasia has the potential to be different. So I think that keeps with written and typed language output, handwritten and typed. Some of my recent work has been related to looking at different writing modalities for people with aphasia. So are there differences in their handwritten versus typed discourse production. There's a couple papers out on this now, and hopefully there'll be even more as it gains traction. And I think it's getting more attention in the research literature because of how important writing is in our daily lives now. I mean, most activities of daily living are now completed through, you know, the virtual world, so banking, shopping, lots of messaging are completed through reading and writing now. So that's kind of why I became interested in also working with ARCS-W and having people handwrite versus type, depending on their interest and comfort level. It was always interesting to me why certain people picked one or the other, and kind of what I was seeing. There is some research out there that shows that handwriting is advantageous for learning. So the specificity of how we're moving our fingers to create letters is helpful for retention and learning items, but when we're thinking at the discourse level, when we're not using the same items necessarily, things could potentially be a little different. So I was interested in just exploring some of those differences and patterns that might emerge, and if there was anything I could figure out that might be driving a pattern. So if someone's better at typing than handwriting, is there a reason that they're better? So what I have found so far, and it's it's pretty preliminary, is that at the group level, handwriting and typing look very similar for people with aphasia, so oftentimes, there's not a big difference in the total words that they produce, and that's been confirmed by a larger study as well from Jaime Lee and colleagues. But then when we look at the individual level, that's when you can start to see differences. And I don't think any clinician would be surprised to hear that people with Aphasia are variable or different. So we know that that is common, but it's been pretty interesting and striking in my own work to see how at the group level, these differences just totally even out. But then when we look at individuals, you do see that, you know, someone is more proficient with typing, someone else is more proficient with handwriting. So in a study I did, I think from 2024, we had people fill out this historical information about their typing experience and exposure, we knew about if they had a hemiparesis or not, and so were they able to use both hands or one hand for handwriting or typing? And like I said, we did find these individual differences for some people, but there wasn't a really clear pattern in what was driving those differences? Was it that they hadn't worked with a keyboard a lot? Was it that they only had the use of one hand? And we just didn't have enough data potentially to discern any specific patterns? Lyssa Rome We've talked a little bit about different types of discourse, written, spoken for written, typed versus handwritten. But I wanted to kind of come back to how we measure and analyze discourse, and wanted to ask about a more recent paper and have you describe a little bit about your work on discourse measurement and training clinicians to measure discourse? Jessica Obermeyer That paper is a perceptual rating paper. We've talked a lot about discourse in this chat, and I think probably one of the first things I might have mentioned was how daunting discourse analysis can be. So researchers are aware of that, and always kind of thinking that discourse is so rich, it provides us so much information about someone's linguistic ability, but also their success with communication in a way that other levels of language don't necessarily tell us. So how can we benefit from that rich information in a way that clinicians can do. Because with discourse analysis, you know, in the clinical session, it might not take that long. You're having someone participate in 10 minutes of conversation—that is not a lot of time in your session. The time is all backlogged. The time is after the session is over, and you're trying to transcribe what they've said and then identify discourse measures that you're interested in. And another thing that makes discourse just complex and dynamic is that there's not one measure, you know, there's not a measure of word retrieval and discourse. There are lots of measures that can give you insight into word retrieval and discourse. So this project I did with my collaborator, Marion Lehman, who also works on discourse, and especially conversation. We wanted to see if it was possible to train people to rate conversation samples from people with aphasia on linguistic measures, so measures of language ability. So there are other perceptual rating scales, but a lot of them might be looking at speech acts like initiation or presence or absence of errors. And we were really interested in if these, if perceptual ratings, could map on to the things we're doing in our labs, so you know, correct information units or the degree of informativeness, utterances that have basic structure, coherence, you know, these measures that we are spending many hours, you know, coding line by line, or even word by word, for some. So she and I developed this training and introduced—so the paper that's published, we used research assistants in our research labs, and we exposed them to the linguistic measures that we were interested in. Had them watch some practice videos, and then told them how we had coded them. So what was the value based on our lab coding? And then we did five test samples, so there were four linguistic measures. The training lasted about three hours, and I did five test samples. And we got some really good feedback from the RAs who did the training and rating samples. We had some promising results for especially two of the measures that we used in their training, and now we're really interested in extending that work with clinicians. So the people that were in the study before had very limited experience listening to people that had aphasia. They hadn't worked with people that had aphasia, they hadn't done extensive clinical training. We're hopeful that if we can use their feedback to fine tune the training and rating procedures and recruit some clinicians to participate, that hopefully we could get even better results and hopefully provide a tool to clinicians where they can be thinking about linguistic components of conversation in a way that's more feasible to their schedule and their workload, because we recognize how much time it takes. And I think it's, it's just a barrier to entry, even, because if someone is feeling like, "I can't do this, I don't have time to do this," then it's hard to even learn about or get started. Lyssa Rome Yeah, I'm so happy to hear that you're that you're focused on the feasibility for clinicians who have productivity requirements, who don't necessarily have a lot of time at the end of the day to do that kind of really in depth analysis. I think it's exciting. Jessica Obermeyer Oh, for sure, and clinicians, I think, work a lot of extra hours, but they have a whole caseload, you know, so balancing everybody's needs and being able to to provide excellent care to everybody is, is always a challenge, and hopefully, hopefully we'll, we'll be able to continue this work. We're trying to get some funding for the project because we want to be able to pay SLPs who participate in the research. Lyssa Rome As we start to wrap up, I'm wondering what you would like clinicians who are listening to this podcast to take away from what we've talked about today, from your work. Jessica Obermeyer I think one takeaway would be for clinicians to think about incorporating handwriting and typing into their existing treatment practice. So I've talked a lot about ARCS-W. ARCS-W is not for everybody. It is a very specific treatment approach for people that have mild aphasia who want to work on discourse-level writing. But there are so many ways to have people engage with handwriting and typing that will serve them in their daily life. So we've talked a lot about how literacy is just such a big—it's a bigger part of our lives than it was 20 years ago. People can achieve a lot of independence and autonomy if they're able to interact with reading and writing and complete it successfully. So I would really encourage clinicians to think about how they can incorporate reading and writing into their existing treatment. A study I was involved with— Liz Madden surveyed SLPs on their practices assessing and treating reading and writing, and one of the take-homes from that project was that clinicians evaluate writing more than treating it. And especially handwriting, versus typing. But I think that given the way society is moving, asking people like, "What's important for you, handwriting or typing?" and let's make that our practice. Lyssa Rome I appreciate how person centered and flexible that advice is right. We're trying to meet people where they're at and recognizing that our treatment can be tailored to the person who's sitting in front of us. I'm curious to hear what is coming next for you. What are you excited about in your work? Jessica Obermeyer That's actually a great segue about how we can tailor treatment, because that is one of the projects that I'm working on now, how we can think about treatment in terms of what are the things that make it work, versus things that maybe aren't essential components of the treatment? With the last study I did with ARCS-W of the things that we were really trying to understand better was: Did it matter if people hand wrote or typed? Did they have the same kind of level of generalization to the other writing modality? And in that study, it doesn't seem that they did. And I think there's really specific reasons for that, because we're working at this discourse level without repeated items. And so you might not see the same impact of that handwriting learning boost, because we're not repeating things as often. That's one of my real interests is thinking about how we work on treatment, how we deliver treatment, how clinicians can deliver treatment. Because I am very guilty of this. Working on writing takes a long time. It takes a long time for people with aphasia to produce written discourse level text. So in the ARCS W studies, it's an hour-and-a-half treatment session where we only work on ARCS-W. But I know I recognize that that's like not most clinicians' daily life, and it doesn't mirror what therapy many people with aphasia receive. So thinking about treatment in a more component-based and mechanistic way that makes it easier for clinicians to adapt to their their practice is is one of the things I would like to flesh out in the future. And then continuing to work on this training and perceptual rating protocol. One of the things my colleagues and I would like to do is create a training that can be shared freely, where clinicians can easily get access to it, and then collect more robust data. I mean, only if we get good results, of course. If we don't, we will not be sharing it. But those are the big things I'm thinking about in the next couple of years, and then beyond that, even more. Lyssa Rome Well, I look forward to reading more of your work and to seeing what comes next as well. Dr. Jessica Obermeyer, thanks so much for talking with us. I really appreciate it.

Bag om Københavnerhistorikerne er et supplement til Bag om København, og i denne udgave kan du møde historiker og museumsinspektør Jakob Ingemann Parby, der har arbejdet med mange forskellige sider af Københavns lange historie: Fra migrationen til byen gennem tiden til byens lyd. Hans seneste bog hedder 'Lyden af hovedstaden - støj, nerver og naboer i 1800-tallet' og den handler blandt andet om, hvordan opfattelsen af byens lyd har ændret sig og hvordan københavnerne længe har forsøgt at lære hinanden at være mere stille. Du kan høre om fransktalende papegøjer, om gadehandlere og omnibushorn – og hvordan lyden af piskesmæld kunne ødelægge al lyst til livet. Bag om Københavnerhistorikerne er et møde med de mennesker, der skriver om eller i København. Fælles for dem er, at de er historiefortællere: Det er dem, der undersøger og skaber de fortællinger om København, som vi bruger til at blive klogere på byen og dens lange og mangesidede historie.

Learn how leaders can improve listening skills, gather better intelligence, and communicate more effectively in high impact conversations.In this episode, Michael Reddington explores a surprising challenge many leaders face. The more successful, experienced, and knowledgeable we become, the harder it can be to truly listen.Senior leaders and technical experts often feel pressure to solve problems quickly. That pressure can push us into validation mode instead of learning mode. Instead of listening for new information, we start listening for the first opportunity to prove we are right, defend our ideas, or move the conversation forward faster.Michael explains why our brains are naturally wired to seek comfort and confirmation, and how that tendency can prevent us from gathering valuable intelligence during important conversations.You will learn practical techniques to improve your listening immediately, including how to elevate your outcomes, reduce internal distractions, relinquish control of conversations, and create space for others to share meaningful information. Michael also explains why excuses can actually reveal important truths and how leaders can use patience and curiosity to uncover the real issues behind problems.These strategies help leaders gather better intelligence, strengthen relationships, and improve decision making in high impact conversations.Chapters00:00 Why successful leaders often struggle to listen 01:35 How expertise and experience create communication barriers 03:32 The real reasons we listen in conversations 05:38 Why the human brain is not wired for great listening 07:05 Elevating outcomes and expectations to improve listening 10:23 Why the person with the information controls the conversation 12:02 Staying in a learning mindset and allowing yourself to be surprised 13:30 Limiting internal monologue to capture the full message 16:00 Recognizing emotional triggers and regaining focus 18:09 Why time pressure is the enemy of empathy 20:04 Leading to your expertise instead of leading with it 22:19 Why patience is one of the most valuable listening skills 23:35 Why excuses can reveal valuable truths in conversations 27:45 Key takeaways for leaders looking to improve their listeningResourcesThe Disciplined Listening Method by Michael ReddingtonConnect with Michael Reddingtonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelreddington/SponsorsInQuasive:http://www.inquasive.com/Humintell: https://www.humintell.com/Enter code INQUASIVE25 for 25% off online training.International Association of Interviewers https://www.certifiedinterviewer.com/Podcast Production Serviceshttps://everyword.media

My guest today is David Sutcliffe, a somatic psychotherapist and former actor who has stepped off the red carpets of Hollywood to venture into the deeper landscapes of the masculine soul.David is something of an enigma to me. He's a therapist who champions the necessity of men getting in touch with their feelings and expressing their rage and grief. Yet, he is also an ardent Trump supporter and has interviewed uber-masculine figures like Andrew Tate.In this conversation, we certainly don't align on everything, but we remain willing to lean in and see what the friction reveals.It's worth saying: this conversation was recorded in September 2025, before the wake of the Epstein files released December 2025. This would have come up in our conversation if we had recorded this afterwards.A little more about David. For years, he was an archetypal “cute guy” or “bad boyfriend” on television - but behind the scenes he eventually found himself on his own road of ashes - where the trappings of fame and success turned to dust, inviting him into a more rigorous descent.Together, we explore the cost of the “nice guy” mask and the disorientation of a fatherless upbringing. We speak of the “devouring mother,” the search for authentic masculine role models, and his own views on “masculine leadership” and traditional gender roles.And finally, David reminds us that maturity demands the courage to face or darkness, tame the flames of our inner dragon, and take up the seat of our own sovereignty.A brief aside: for men who wish to work with me, you're invited to my upcoming immersion & online cohorts:* Awakening the Wild Erotic, Vancouver Island (April 24-26)* The Deep Masculine, Online (next cohort begins May 3)As well, don't miss the inaugural Cascadia Men's Conference, happening just north of Vancouver Aug 6-9th, 2026.For those drawn to David's style and offerings, check out the links below:SHOW LINKS* David Sutcliffe School for Kings* David Sutcliffe on IG * Poem - How to Tame A DragonSHOW NOTESHere are the show note highlights with the updated timecode format, tightened for impact:* 03:55 — The Geographic and Spiritual Check-in: David shares his current life in Mexico and how his relationship with God has become the anchor point of his life and marriage.* 05:40 — The Interviewer's Tightrope: Reflecting on David's interviews with polarizing figures like Andrew Tate and the “art of the interview” when navigating high-defense mechanisms.* 07:18 — From the Red Carpet to the Road of Ashes: David recounts his twenty-year acting career and the mid-life collapse that led him to trade Hollywood fame for the rigors of somatic healing.* 09:51 — The Alchemy of the Mat: An exploration of Core Energetics and the necessity of physical expression—hitting, kicking, and shouting—to move repressed “sob and rage.”* 13:10 — The Missing Father and the Devouring Mother: Discussing the psychic consequences of an absent father and how the resulting “devouring mother” energy can lead men to self-abandonment.* 26:45 — The War of the Sexes: A look at the “bitterness and vitriol” in modern gender relations and the cultural propaganda of the “bumbling father” in media.* 28:26 — Feminism and the Manosphere: David offers his take on how radicalized social movements can lead to a reactive “manosphere” and the collective struggle to truly see one another.* 39:15 — The Politics of Polarity: David addresses his shift from Hollywood progressive to a supporter of traditional values and Donald Trump, framing it as a return to “reality.”* 53:12 — The Strongman Archetype: Exploring the qualities of figures like Trump and Tate, and why men are gravitating toward “strongmen” in a landscape of cultural chaos.* 1:11:15 — Taming the Inner Dragon: A concluding reminder that our inner shadows are not to be slain, but looked in the eye until they recognize their master.

Most of us were never actually taught how to communicate with other adults.We were conditioned to talk as kids, then we grew up and started leading teams, negotiating agreements, parenting, coaching, and managing high-stakes conversations.In this solo episode, I'm introducing the Disciplined Listening Method and walking through what it is, why I created it, and how you can start applying it right away.This method is built from behavioral science, interview and interrogation research, and real-world business communication. But at its core, it is simple.Create the communication experience the other person needs.When you do that consistently, you reduce resistance. You build trust. You create commitment instead of compliance.In this episode, I break down what makes a conversation high impact and the seven core behaviors that help you prepare, engage, and follow up with discipline.If you lead people, influence decisions, negotiate agreements, or want stronger relationships at home and at work, this is the foundation.Chapters(00:00) - Why This Series Matters(03:45) - What Is the Disciplined Listening Method(07:50) - Defining High Impact Conversations(12:15) - The Psychology of Commitment(16:30) - Three Core Communication Guidelines(22:45) - The Seven Behaviors(27:35) - Building Trust EquityConnect with MichaelWebsite: https://michaelreddington.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelreddington/Grab the Book!

You answered everything perfectly. You had great examples. You were polished. And then... nothing. Meanwhile, someone else just got the offer.What happened? Here's the thing: interviewers aren't hiring based on what you think they're hiring on. There's a whole psychological game happening that nobody talks about. And once you understand it? Everything changes.

If you're rehearsing your stories five minutes before an interview, you're cooked. I'm not saying that to be dramatic. I'm saying it because it's true. Right before an interview is not the time to cram, memorize examples, or mentally sprint through your résumé. This will just get you tense, not to mention self-focused (

Bag om Københavnerhistorikerne er et supplement til Bag om København, og i denne udgave kan du møde historiefortæller og podcaster Berit Freyheit, der har skabt og udgivet podcasten Bag om København i 10 år. Berit Freyheit elsker, når hun kan finde en lidt anden vinkel på historien, måske endda fortælle den fra en synsvinkel, der er ukendt for de fleste. Når det lykkes, så er hun ikke til at skyde igennem. I podcasten fortæller hun bl.a. om sin yndlingskøbenhavner, hvordan hun forsøger at finde en krog i historien, der kan lukke den op for lytterne – og hun deler to godbidder fra de over 130 episoder. Bag om Københavnerhistorikerne er et møde med de mennesker, der skriver om eller i København. Fælles for dem er, at de er historiefortællere: Det er dem, der undersøger og skaber de fortællinger om København, som vi bruger til at blive klogere på byen og dens lange og mangesidede historie.

If you have ever walked out of an interview thinking I nailed that and still did not move forward, this episode is your wake up call. Today, I'm breaking down one of the most common reasons qualified CSMs struggle to land offers even when they prepare and practice. Most candidates prep for every interview the exact same way, and it quietly works against them. Recruiters, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners may ask similar questions, but they are listening for very different signals.In this episode, I walk you through a smarter, more strategic way to prepare based on who you are interviewing with so you can tailor your answers without sounding scripted or inauthentic. By the end, you will know exactly how to shift your messaging so you come across confident, credible, and intentional in every round. If you are tired of guessing what interviewers want and ready to finally control the outcome, hit play and let's dive in.

Eric and Travis react to a clip of Riaz Meghji. Riaz breaks down the craft of powerful conversations, drawing on his two decades as a TV host, human connection keynote speaker, and author of Every Conversation Counts. Known for helping leaders build meaningful relationships in a distracted, digital-first world, Riaz shares practical frameworks any creator, entrepreneur, or interviewer can use to unlock deeper stories and stronger trust with guests, clients, and audiences.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Riaz lost his first MTV Canada hosting job, what imposter syndrome looked like on camera, and how not burning bridges brought him back to the network later The mindset shift from “how do I look?” to “how do I light up the person watching?” and why focusing on the audience changes everything about how you show up How to “overprepare to improvise” so research gives you confidence, but listening and curiosity drive the actual conversation Simple phrasing shifts—like “tell me about,” “take me back,” and “set the scene”—that turn flat Q&A into emotional, story-rich dialogue Practical ways to ask for stories you “can't Google,” especially with highly interviewed guests, and how that leads to more memorable content and relationships Top 3 Takeaways The best interviews prioritize the audience and the guest, not the host's ego; your job is to unlock stories and insights that genuinely serve the listener. Overpreparation plus improvisation is the winning combo: know your guest's world deeply, then be willing to drop the script when something more alive shows up. Asking for specific moments and stories instead of abstract answers creates emotional connection, builds trust faster, and makes your content stand out. Notable Quotes “The opportunity to unlock something unique, personal, and something you can't Google is always there—but only if you stop obsessing over how you look on camera.” “Overprepare to improvise: do the work beforehand, then lean into listening so you can follow what actually matters in the room.” “Emotion is what connects us; when you ask for a story, people don't just hear information—they feel like they're living the moment with you.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️
