Skip The Interview Prep, Lose the Job. Here's How To Fix It I Varun Puri I CEO of Yoodli Most people treat interviews like pop quizzes. They wing it. Then wonder why they keep coming in second. Here's the thing: If  you don't rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your practice. And even for most execs? That level can be none. Varun Puri—ex-Google, debate shark, and co-founder of Yoodli—is done watching smart people blow it because they never practiced the one thing that matters: how they sound when it counts. Yoodli isn't a coach. And, It's not “content.” It's your AI interview  sparring partner— built to catch every “um,” dodge every ramble, and turn your half-baked answers into mic-drop moments. That's why Korn Ferry, Google, Snowflake, Databricks, and use it—because nothing kills a deal faster than a boring, muddled interview.   In this episode: The painful reason brilliant execs still tank interviews The three invisible habits that scream “don't hire me” How to stack 15,000 practice reps without begging for anyone's time Why public speaking fear beats fear of death (and what to do about it) What actually changes when feedback is instant and can't be ignored Listen now. Or keep losing to the person who did.

It was a thrilling weekend across the tours, full of grit, breakthroughs and standout play. On the PGA Tour, Ryan Fox outlasted the field in a four-hole playoff to win the RBC Canadian Open—proof that relentless effort can beat perfect technique. Jennifer Kupcho snapped a three-year drought with a birdie to win the LPGA's ShopRite Classic at –15. Austin Smotherman claimed the Korn Ferry's BMW Charity Pro-Am with a lights-out –25 finish, while Connor Syme finally broke through on the DP World Tour with a long-awaited win at the KLM Open. On the LIV stage, Joaquín Niemann fired a bogey-free 63 for his fourth win of the season, and Phil Mickelson delivered a vintage flop-shot birdie that reminded us all why Lefty is still magic.This Week's Improvement Pivot Point: Perfectly Imperfect.Ryan Fox's win is a reminder that swing aesthetics don't matter nearly as much as understanding your capabilities, controlling your ball flight, and grinding it out under pressure. Scott breaks down Fox's swing—why it works for him as a full-time player who's learned to manage its nuances, but why it's not one you'd want to replicate. The takeaway?

In this episode, our guests talk about perimenopause and how more needs to be done to support community college employees with the challenges associated with it.  Approximately 50% of the population experiences perimenopause, and for many of these individuals—colleagues and leaders alike—this natural process brings physical and emotional symptoms that can disrupt workplace performance for years. A 2023 Korn Ferry survey of over 8,000 women found that 47% experienced symptoms affecting their work, with the majority feeling unsupported by their organizations around their perimenopausal needs. Symptoms like hormone fluctuations, hot flashes, and brain fog can hinder productivity and negatively impact career progression, absenteeism, and turnover, particularly among senior leadership. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware of whom to approach about these issues, and few institutions have developed inclusive policies to address them.  Our guests are: Aliesha Crowe, vice president of academic affairs at Northwood Technical College Kristen Raney, president of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College

We're live from Titleist & FootJoy HQ and we start todays show with a story from Mark about the Australian Open Stonehaven Cup that Peter Lonard won at Moonah Links, and how the Cup was 'lost' for a number of months. Mark is convinced the story is accurate, but Nick and Third Man feel it sounds so unbelievable that we feel that it needs to be checked. So we drop a message to the former Australian golf boss Andrew Langford-Jones to give us a call and confirm or deny. Hopefully he calls before the end of the show.The Chevron. Nick and Mark describe it as 'mayhem', with the grandstand on the final hole an 'abomination' according to Nick. It resulted in a disaster for Ariya Jutanugarn with her shot ricochetting off the grandstand. Nick watched the whole thing, although the 5-way playoff went for a veeeeeery long time, with slow play an offender again.Nick raises the TIO ruling not only in the Chevron, but for the Hoygard twins in the PGA teams event in New Orleans. We discuss poor grandstand placement, which happens around the world, and Mark says it has to be better.Mark raises the LIV ratings from Florida which have been released and were soft. He is keen to have a look at how Mexico's LIV ratings go, given it was up against one of the great Womens PGA events, and what he describes as a pretty ordinary Mens team event in New Orleans, that he found difficult to watch. The world feed comes up (again) and, again, Nick and Mark unimpressed and they play some audio from Trevor Immelman analysing Justin Thomas' swing, illustrating what we are missing out on due to receiving the world feed.Mark says the Korn Ferry tour cut this was crazy - a 9 under cut and 30 under won the event. Nick discusses the difference between playing the Korn Ferry and the PGA tour when he was playing.After the turn we get Andrew Langford-Jones on the phone to either confirm or deny the Australian Open Peter Lonard story.Great Top 5 from Mark, listing the most unique golf holes in the world. Has he missed any?PING global results from Nick, as always plenty to run through, and lots of feedback from wolfpackers again - including a request from Jarrod which Nick and Mark love, and workshop live on the pod.And we wrap the show with a masterclass from Nick, inspired by Ariya Jutanugarn in the Chevron, on how to avoid chunking shots around the green.We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

This episode covers sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised. Please prioritize your well-being while listening.What would you do if you had more courage? This question sits at the heart of our illuminating conversation with Dr. Margie Warrell, global thought leader on brave leadership and author of "The Courage Gap." The courage gap affects us all, but particularly women. We explore how imposter syndrome manifests as underestimating our abilities while overestimating dangers. As Margie powerfully states, "We shouldn't be trying to prove our worth. We need to just own our worth." This simple shift in perspective can liberate us to pursue meaningful goals with confidence rather than doubt.Through vulnerable personal stories, including surviving an armed robbery, Margie demonstrates her transformative "Three Ps" approach to reframing difficult situations. By choosing narratives that make us feel more Powerful, Positive, and Purposeful, we can create generative stories that shape our future rather than keeping us stuck. "You create your stories. But your stories then create you," she explains, offering practical wisdom for catching and redirecting unhelpful narratives. By giving ourselves permission to be imperfect, whether as parents, professionals, or creators—we open doors to experiences and growth we might otherwise miss.What pivot might be revealing your path today? Listen in and discover how embracing courage in the face of uncertainty can transform your life's journey.Guest Bio:Dr. Margie Warrell is a globally recognized expert in leadership and human behavior, renowned for her ability to help leaders and organizations unlock untapped potential by countering the underlying dynamics that inhibit bold thinking, decisive action, and transformative growth.A passionate advocate for advancing women in leadership, Margie has contributed to government roundtables, spearheaded initiatives to elevate more women to decision-making roles, and co-led Korn Ferry's Power of All program during her tenure as a Senior Partner in their CEO & Enterprise Leadership Institute.Margie's latest book, The Courage Gap (Jan ‘25), distills her decades of research and experience, providing a roadmap for closing the gap between potential and performance. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Margie balances her professional endeavors with her love of adventure.

Welcome to Episode 35 of the Talent Intelligence Collective podcast! Alan Walker, Alison Ettridge, and Toby Culshaw sit down with Chris Woodward, whose fascinating journey from military leadership to strategic workforce planning offers a masterclass in talent strategy and organisational effectiveness.This month's intelligence roundup features Toby exploring whether AI agents can truly become trusted advisors in talent intelligence, sparking a thought-provoking discussion about the balance between automation and human judgement. The conversation shifts to the UK's ambitious AI skills strategy, contrasting it with the Gulf region's more pragmatic approach to talent development, highlighting the critical importance of long-term thinking versus short-term political cycles.Chris shares his remarkable career trajectory from the British Army, where he served four tours in Afghanistan, to his role as Global Head of Strategic Workforce Planning at Babcock. He offers valuable insights into how military concepts like "battle grouping" – bringing together diverse capabilities towards clear outcomes – can transform talent strategy in the corporate world. His experience reimagining talent pathways in the military and later applying competency science at Korn Ferry reveals the power of objective, future-focused talent management.The discussion delves into the challenges of demand-side workforce planning, with Chris highlighting how organisations often struggle with long-term capability building when faced with immediate business pressures. His work on criticality assessments for submarine servicing exposed stark talent shortages, necessitating innovative approaches to capability development with multi-year horizons.As Chris embarks on his next chapter establishing an advisory practice focused on organisational effectiveness, he shares three essential tips for strategic workforce planning professionals: get strategic clarity, build relationships across the business, and truly understand how the business creates value. His perspective on HR functions becoming truly strategic partners rather than cost centres offers a compelling vision for the future of talent management.Until next time, stay curious, stay strategic, and most importantly, stay intelligent!

Lesley Uren, Global CEO of Consulting for Korn Ferry, caught up with Emma Carroll, Source's Head of Content, on the latest episode of The Future of the Firm podcast to discuss where the hot spots and challenges in human capital consulting are today, and where clients' needs are set to shift in this space.  Lesley shares her insight on the following matters and more:  Volatility in the market for human capital consulting is being driven by large macro factors that are impacting clients' appetite to invest. This uncertainty is likely to persist, and consulting firms need to be able to pivot quickly to respond to clients' changing business issues.   CEOs are facing a big challenge around maintaining business performance as they transform their organisations. AI is one of the big triggers here, as leaders start to rethink their business models, but there are other drivers too, including cost pressures.   Data, including the use of data to create insights, is set to be the biggest change in human capital consulting. We discuss the power of unlocking client data and combining that with a firm's data to reveal hidden information about talent and drive better business performance.  The big questions from clients around AI include: How can we redesign our organisation? How will work be different? What kind of skills will we need? Where will we find those skills at scale? How can we galvanise our people behind this change? How will softer skills ensure this transition is successful?   The political temperature around DEI is impacting the type of support clients need in this area. We discuss what is changing and what is staying the same.    Firms will need to think differently about demonstrating value to clients. It's about more than processing and sythesising data now: It's about proving impact.  If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In a recent episode, we talked to Sarah Ricketts, SVP for Procurement at Rolls-Royce, about transforming procurement with data, culture, and tech.

The word "courage" often gets thrown around in ways that dilute its true meaning. It's not about fearlessness or recklessness—it's about trusting yourself enough to take meaningful action despite fear. This episode of This Is Woman's Work sets the record straight on what courage actually looks and feels like, and how it's the foundation for growth, success, and self-trust. Our guest, Dr. Margie Warrell, is a five-time bestselling author, international keynote speaker, leadership coach, and Forbes columnist. With 25 years of experience working globally, Margie is dedicated to helping people face their fears, unlock their potential, and live bravely. From her humble beginnings on a small farm in Australia to her roles as a Senior Partner at Korn Ferry and an Advisory Board member for the Forbes School of Business & Technology, Margie embodies the courage she teaches. In this conversation, Margie shares how courage closes the gap between self-doubt and self-trust, hesitation and action, and fear and possibility. She invites us to see courage not as an extraordinary trait, but as a practice that builds bridges to the lives we truly want. As Margie says, “Fear creates the gap. It's courage that closes it.” Connect with Dr. Margie Warrell: Website: https://margiewarrell.com/  Book: https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Gap-Steps-Braver-Action/dp/1523007249 Related Podcast Episodes: 141 / How Regular Women Take Risks with Liz Deacle 181 / Stress Less and Fear(Less) with Rebecca Heiss 197 / Fear & Failure (Part 1) with Amy Green Smith Share the Love: If you found this episode insightful, please share it with a friend, tag us on social media, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform!
