Why leaders must nurture ideas if they want innovation to thrive in Japan People are more creative than they give themselves credit for, yet many work environments suppress rather than encourage innovation. Brainstorming sessions often produce nothing but wasted calendar space, or worse, good ideas that die on arrival because no one champions them. In Japan and globally, corporate graveyards are filled with unrealised concepts. Leaders must understand that creativity is not a one-off spark—it's a journey that requires cultivation, sponsorship, and careful timing. Why do so many good ideas die inside companies? Most ideas never make it past the brainstorming stage. Either nothing actionable emerges, or promising suggestions are quietly buried. Even in companies with innovation-friendly cultures, ideas face hurdles before they can be applied. Lack of sponsorship, risk aversion, and overloaded leadership pipelines kill innovation before it matures. In Japan, this is amplified by hierarchical decision-making. Ideas often stall before reaching senior management because middle managers, stretched thin and politically cautious, block their path. Without a system to shepherd ideas upward, they disappear. Mini-Summary: Good ideas often fail because they lack sponsorship, timing, or pathways upward—especially in Japan's hierarchical organisations. Where do creative ideas come from? Ideas start with individuals. Inspiration can come from anywhere—external networks, professional communities, or day-to-day frustrations. The broader an employee's networks, the higher the likelihood of fresh sparks. The problem is engagement. In Japan, only about 5–7% of employees rank as “highly engaged” in surveys. That means most staff aren't motivated to generate or push ideas. Without engagement, even the most creative sparks fizzle. Leaders must connect daily work to purpose so employees see why innovation matters. Mini-Summary: Creative ideas emerge from individuals with broad networks and high engagement—but in Japan, low engagement is a major innovation barrier. How can leaders cultivate employee ideas? Cultivation requires more than slogans about innovation. Leaders must make purpose explicit, encourage risk-taking, and reward those who step outside comfort zones. If junior staff can't articulate the company's “why,” their ideas will lack direction. In Japan, where conformity often trumps experimentation, leaders must show daily that trying new things is safe. Recognising effort, even when ideas fail, builds confidence. The way leaders treat innovators—successes and failures alike—sets the tone for the whole organisation. Mini-Summary: Leaders cultivate ideas by clarifying purpose, rewarding risk-taking, and encouraging experimentation—even in failure. Why do smart ideas need sponsors and champions? Ideas rarely succeed alone. They need collaborators to refine them and sponsors to promote them. Expecting to walk straight into a boardroom with a raw idea is unrealistic. Allies, mentors, and champions must first shepherd it through the system. In Japanese firms, where harmony is prized, ideas must often be “harmonised” at lower levels before reaching executives. Champions play a critical role in ensuring promising concepts aren't lost to politics or hierarchy. Mini-Summary: Ideas need allies and champions to survive the political journey inside companies, especially in hierarchical Japan. How does timing affect idea success? Even brilliant ideas fail if introduced at the wrong time. Microsoft famously launched its Tablet PC years before the iPad, and its SPOT Watch long before the Apple Watch. Both flopped, not because the ideas were bad, but because the market wasn't ready. In Japan, timing is especially crucial when companies face cost-cutting or conservative leadership cycles. Innovation requires resources—time, talent, and money—which are scarce during downturns. Leaders must align idea introduction with corporate readiness. Mini-Summary: Timing can make or break ideas—introduce them too early or in the wrong climate, and they will fail regardless of quality. What systems help ideas travel upward? Without an “express lane” for good ideas, most are trapped in corporate silos. Middle managers, often protective of their turf, can stall innovation. Creating formal pathways that allow vetted ideas to reach senior leaders quickly is essential. Some global companies use innovation labs or dedicated sponsorship committees to fast-track ideas. In Japan, establishing such systems prevents good ideas from being smothered by bureaucracy or politics. Leaders who create express lanes differentiate themselves and unlock competitive advantage. Mini-Summary: Formal “express lanes” help promising ideas bypass bureaucracy and reach top decision-makers, ensuring innovation isn't lost. Conclusion The creative idea journey within companies is long and fraught with obstacles. Ideas require engaged employees, cultivation, sponsorship, careful timing, and systems that allow them to travel upward. In Japan's conservative corporate culture, leaders must work even harder to ensure innovation isn't stifled by hierarchy or risk aversion. The true white-collar crime of leadership is failing to apply ideas that could have transformed the business.

WORT 89.9FM Madison · Time, Beauty, and Grief, Betsy-Korbinyr_7-28-25 In this edition of Madison Book Beat, host Lisa Malawski sits down with local author Betsy Korbinyr who is an award-winning author and retired social worker based in Madison, Wisconsin. With over 30 years of experience in hospice, medical, mental health, and school social work, she brings a deep understanding of aging, loss, and resilience to her writing. Her debut book, Time, Beauty, and Grief: A Hike Through Wisconsin's 50 State Parks, is part memoir, part trail guide, and part reflection on growing older. Korbinyr set out to hike five miles in each of Wisconsin's 50 state parks within a single year. The result is a life-affirming collection of essays exploring grief, healing, resilience, and the natural beauty of her home state. It is the first book to feature all 50 Wisconsin state parks, making it both a practical guide and a heartfelt meditation on growing older. Rather than focusing on far-flung adventures, Korbinyr chose to explore the natural beauty of her home state, offering readers an accessible and heartfelt journey through all 50 Wisconsin state parks. The book blends practical hiking tips with personal essays that touch on grief, healing, and the search for meaning in later life. A woman turning 65 ends up with one of her hiking boots in the grave as she embarks on a Quest to complete five miles in all 50 Wisconsin State Parks in one year. Life, like hiking, is unpredictable—despite preparation, the terrain can surprise you. Korbinyr's reflections encourage readers to reject ageist stereotypes and embrace aging with curiosity, courage, and color. In addition to her writing, Betsy is a certified thanatologist (CT), trained in death, dying, and bereavement counseling—a perspective that subtly informs her reflections on life's transitions. She is also an avid traveler and hiker, having explored trails across England, Ireland, India, and the U.S. When not writing or speaking at local events, Betsy enjoys gardening, creating art, and hiking, often reflecting on life with humor and humility. Time, Beauty, and Grief: A Hike Through Wisconsin's 50 State Parks Korbinyr's debut book is part trail guide, part memoir, and part philosophical reflection on aging. It's the first book to include all 50 parks and encourages readers to embrace aging with curiosity and courage. Published by Little Creek Press

Step into a unique auditory experience where the world stops and you are invited to simply exist. This voice-led installation, designed for intimate encounters within galleries or serene natural spaces, welcomes you to explore without a defined beginning or end. Follow Jay, our central character, as she embarks on a journey in stillness, discovering the beauty of presence and the art of being. Relinquish the confines of language and let go of the urge to name, as Jay once did. Allow a sense of the past to weave its existence into the present, evolving from a flag into a square of light, representing moments left behind. Feel the power of breath and the symphony it creates, as if music unclaimed by any name, envelops you. Look around and understand that everything in your view is part of the artwork. Reflect on your presence and consider the tagless moments you encounter. Will you, like Jay, move on with a feeling lingering at the edge of consciousness? Your journey concludes not when you physically leave, but when the sensation fades. Thank you for sharing this fleeting breath with us.

Emotion Management: A Journey Within - Weekly Community Movie Gathering with Kristen and ZachJoin us for an enlightening movie gathering where we explore the profound concept of “undoing the self-concept.” Kristen and Zach delve into the often uncomfortable emotions that arise when we challenge our self-perceptions. Guided by the Holy Spirit's purpose, they look beyond these emotions to uncover the underlying beliefs and desires in our hearts. This introspective journey aims to bring about a real change in our minds, clearing the way for spiritual expansion. Inspired by the idea of “anger management,” the focus will broaden to encompass all emotions. Whether it's anger, sadness, or any other feeling, we'll learn to take responsibility for them, continually handing them over and looking deeper. Together, we'll seek to align our desires with the spirit, fostering a transformative experience.The Living Miracles community practices the teachings of A Course in Miracles daily in very practical ways.

We'll hear from experts, those directly affected, and analysts who've been following these developments closely.So, rather than a typical episode, we're offering a snapshot—a look back at how the pieces have come together leading to this deal, and what it might mean for the future.

Let's challenge those all-too-common excuses and embrace a resolution that nurtures both our secular ambitions and spiritual fulfillment.Our conversation also uncovers how gratitude and resilience can serve as anchors during life's storms.

What if you had a road map to a sober life you love? What if it came in four simple steps? Does that sound easier than a lifetime of 'working on yourself'?  I know that life is not simple; humans are complex. We have emotions, backgrounds, circumstances, and it would be foolish to think that we could expect everyone's sober journey to look the same. But, after 5+ years of working with hundreds and hundreds of women on their AF journey, I have discovered a few things to help you move forward. Having a framework is powerful; it allows our minds to focus in on the process and can help make change less overwhelming. The first two steps from last week are: know yourself and grow yourself. I have found that starting with these two explorations sets us up for the next two steps: love yourself and be yourself. Let's unpack this together: Love Your SELF: Learning to love ourselves is hard for most of us. Drinking can rob us of the ability to love ourselves fully. We often carry shame, guilt and regret about our drinking and over-drinking. When we put down the bottle, we can begin to practice loving thoughts and behaviors towards ourselves. This is the ultimate self-care; learning to care for ourselves with love and compassion.  Be Your SELF: As we learn the first three steps, we gradually start to feel more comfortable in our own skin. We feel more authentic, and we find ways to ask for more, and to give more. Learning to 'be' is the ultimate lesson in life, one that takes a lifetime to learn. When alcohol is present, we delay this beautiful evolution. When alcohol is removed, we start the great adventure of life!   Full Show Notes HERE Want to know about The SELF Experience?

He highlighted how supporting Catalysts in his organization through these core skills helped accelerate positive change and increase organizational agility.

  Today, I share two areas that I am focused on and that I help clients explore when we ask, 'what now, what next?' on this alcohol-free journey.   The first place to start is to KNOW yourself. So many of us go through life without asking 'who are we?'. I love self-reflection and I love a good quiz, but trust me, finding out which Disney Princess you are is not the same as knowing yourself:)   It's not that we have purposefully gone through life without looking in the mirror, but women wear a lot of hats; wife, mother, employee, caregiver. It's no surprise that we often filter who we are by who we are with. And, for many of us, giving up alcohol allows us to start to explore who we are outside the roles we play, who we are on the inside.   The second step, I believe, on this path to living alcohol-free is to GROW yourself. When we leave alcohol behind, we are in a unique position of having more time, energy and clarity to devote to personal growth.  Here are a few takeaways from this episode:   How to get to know yourself again What are core values, and why do they matter? Ways to grow into your AF life How to lead with curiosity Show Notes HERE If you would enjoy participating in a small group and having a guide, I invite you to check out The SELF Experience program where we spend time on these two important steps of not only living AF but thriving AF!

"We know we can't make it; we don't have the lifespan to know it all. But that's what makes us warriors—we still choose to walk the path, even knowing we'll never reach the end.”“The breath is the bridge—it's the control point for your body, your spirit, and your mind. Mastering it gives you the reins to navigate any challenge, on or off the mat.""One of the major speed bumps is the need to do something... the more you seek, the less you find." – Alan BakerWelcome back, today we have a truly inspiring guest—someone who has been a close friend and a powerful influence on my journey in the martial arts world. Joining me is Sifu Alan Baker. Alan is a professional martial artist, author, and tactical trainer with a deep commitment to the art, the lifestyle, and the warrior mindset.  He's a rare example of a complete martial artist, blending knowledge across styles— His expertise spans Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Keysi Fighting Method and more, making him a dynamic instructor with an emphasis on both the art and science of combat.As the founder of the Atlanta Martial Arts Center, Alan has built a reputation for bridging traditional martial arts, self-defense, and tactical training. In addition to running his academy, Alan is the creator of the Civilian Tactical (SeaTac) Program, designed to bring practical self-defense and personal protection training to civilians. His unique approach has been sought out by law enforcement agencies, military groups, and protection specialists. Alan is not only a martial artist but a lifelong student and advocate of the warrior mindset, integrating practices like Qigong and breath control into his teachings to help individuals develop balance, resilience, and focus.My Key Takeaway is that it is always about The Journey Over the Destination: Alan emphasizes that martial arts is a lifelong journey, where every accomplishment reveals new levels to explore. He believes in keeping a beginner's mindset, continuously seeking knowledge without the need to "arrive."  We also discuss the value of creating a personalized martial arts “system” for each practitioner, built upon foundational skills but continuously evolving based on individual experiences and needs.  We dive deep into the importance of creating martial arts communities, by creating martial arts academies that are sanctuaries, and places where students can feel safe, supported, and be able to discover their true selves.  In our conversation, we explore how martial arts goes beyond physical training, becoming a bridge to personal empowerment, resilience, and even healing. Alan shares insights into what it means to live with a warrior's mindset, the importance of the breath as the ‘bridge' to balance and focus, and how he sees each practitioner's journey as one of continual adaptation and self-expression.This episode is packed with wisdom, so whether you're a seasoned martial artist or just beginning your path, get ready to be inspired. Let's jump in!

Breathe out and let go, Of all that you hold, Leaving you calm and clear.  LONG PAUSE The space between breaths, The room between thoughts, Is where your journey starts. Let all become distant, As everything quiets, Relax, tune into your heart.  LONG PAUSE Bring them all here, Your questions, your fears, And know they are safe to work through.  Then add all your dreams,  Your desires and hopes, They're all part of what makes you you.  PAUSE The answers you seek, Are all all here inside. The journey within, Where you are your guide.  LONG PAUSE Take a deep breath, Expanding the space, Where stillness reveals your true voice.  Listen for whispers, For nudges and hints, Drowning out all other noise.  LONG PAUSE What do you hear? What do you feel? Acknowledge it all within you.  Ask for some guidance, Some love and some grace, When you don't know what to do.  LONG PAUSE Did you know that, The more you know you, More joy will saturate your days? You'll carve out your path, And design your own life, Detached from what others might say.  LONG PAUSE So find your way here, As breath guides you home, Your roots will anchor your soul.  Your journey within, Is always worthwhile, Your pieces are part of your whole.  Namaste, Beautiful
