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.

As companies expand internationally, the demand for skilled professionals is intensifying. But a study by Korn Ferry predicts that by 2030, there will be a global human talent shortage of 85 million people, potentially resulting in $8.5 trillion in unrealized annual revenues.  Now, this looming talent gap underscores the critical importance of effective global hiring strategies. But again, hiring globally isn't that simple. We all know that. It comes with its unique challenges, from navigating cultural differences and compliance laws to building teams that collaborate seamlessly across time zones.  So, to explore how companies can effectively attract and retain top talent worldwide, I'm thrilled to welcome Stefanie Wild, the Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Evonik Industries AG. With her extensive experience in international recruitment, Stefanie will share valuable insights on overcoming cross-border hiring challenges and most importantly, fostering inclusive, high-performing teams.

Precisamos alcançar o ponto de equilíbrio. Vamos abrir uma divisão de fintech, então precisaremos de novos tipos de talentos nessa área, e também vamos encerrar nossas operações no país X, Y, Z. Assim, gostaria que vocês me ajudassem a desenhar cada elemento do meu custo total de mão de obra." Quais benefícios eu devo oferecer? Quanto eu devo aumentar nos salários baseado nesse objetivo de ponto de equilíbrio, na minha retenção anterior, no índice de conversão de candidatos que já tivemos? Existe uma enorme quantidade de dados que podem ser usados, digamos, para otimizar essas decisões. E tudo isso pode começar a partir de um input estratégico de alto nível, como esse, composto por uma ou duas frases de um executivo, e, a partir daí, podemos fazer todo o trabalho e voltar com soluções para o cliente. Realmente acredito que é assim que as empresas tomarão decisões no futuro. E, honestamente, colocaria vocês nessa categoria. Não é fácil apontar para uma empresa específica, em outro lugar, fazendo algo verdadeiramente parecido com o que vocês estão fazendo. Vocês estão assumindo riscos reais de inovação e realmente estão na vanguarda do que é possível nessa área de atuação em que vocês trabalham. Chris, agora vamos mudar para o inglês para começar nosso episódio, já que temos um gringo aqui no programa hoje – gringo, como eu, de várias maneiras. Muito obrigado, Chris, por aceitar o convite de compartilhar um pouco sobre sua história e sua trajetória com a Comp. Estamos muito, muito empolgados em tê-lo aqui e ansiosos por essa conversa com você. Então, muito obrigado e seja bem-vindo. Chris: Obrigado pelo convite. Estou super animado para estar aqui e por essa conversa. Florian: Ótimo. Talvez comecemos com o comentário do gringo. Quando comecei minha carreira como empreendedor aqui no Brasil, havia muitos de nós. Era na época da Rocket Internet: tinha muitos alemães, americanos e franceses. E então, durante um tempo, eles meio que desapareceram. Provavelmente tem a ver com os altos e baixos econômicos do Brasil, mas eis que agora você está aqui, um gringo na cidade, construindo algo no Brasil. Algo realmente único e intrigante. Eu adoraria ouvir mais: você pode compartilhar um pouco sobre o seu passado, sua trajetória e o que o trouxe ao Brasil e à decisão de começar a Comp localmente? Chris: Claro! Que honra! Acho que sou o primeiro gringo no podcast, então estou honrado de ser o primeiro. Um pouco sobre mim – sou meio holandês e meio americano. Nasci na Holanda e cresci principalmente nos EUA. Quando jovem, meu sonho era jogar futebol profissional. Além de ser o “gringo” com quem você está conversando agora, meu segundo maior orgulho é que joguei contra o Mbappé na França quando eu tinha cerca de 14 anos. Mas, em certo ponto, percebi que não seria bom o suficiente para fazer disso uma carreira. Eu fui jogar na universidade e estudei na Cornell, em Nova York. Foi lá que conheci meu cofundador brasileiro, chamado Pedro, há mais ou menos uns 7 ou 8 anos. Estávamos em uma aula de comunicação empresarial, onde a tarefa era dar um discurso inspirador sobre algo que queríamos fazer em nossa carreira. Todo mundo na classe dizia que queria trabalhar no Goldman Sachs como banqueiro ou ser consultor na McKinsey. Pedro e eu fomos os únicos a falar sobre empreendedorismo. Achei que Pedro fez um discurso muito carismático e emocional sobre porque queria ser empreendedor. Mas o professor, depois do discurso dele, disse algo como: “Pedro, tenho certeza de que o que você disse foi ótimo, mas não consegui entender por causa do seu sotaque brasileiro. Você precisa melhorar isso se quiser passar nessa matéria." Após a aula, fiz uma brincadeira com ele, e acabamos nos tornando amigos por sermos os únicos da turma com mentalidade empreendedora. Começamos a almoçar juntos, a trocar ideias, etc. Durante nosso segundo ano de faculdade, começamos um negócio de entrega de comida. Entregávamos açaí para estudantes no campus e alguns outros itens de café da manhã. A inovação que criamos, entre aspas, foi que, diferente de plataformas como Uber Eats, iFood ou DoorDash, onde cada entrega é feita separadamente, nós coletávamos vários pedidos de uma vez para reduzir o preço da entrega. Em vez de uma pessoa da entrega pegar um pedido por vez, pegávamos, por exemplo, 8 ou 10 pedidos de uma só vez. Dessa forma, reduzíamos o custo para o consumidor e tornávamos o processo mais eficiente. Como muitos estudantes moravam próximos uns dos outros no campus, fazia sentido. Além disso, ajudávamos restaurantes fora do campus a atender os estudantes e a gerar mais receita durante as manhãs, quando eles tinham capacidade ociosa. Esse foi, basicamente, o nosso modelo de negócio. Chegamos a levantar capital de algumas aceleradoras, crescemos para uma equipe de 30 pessoas, aprendemos muito, mas tivemos o que chamamos de uma saída pequena. Não foi um grande sucesso financeiro, mas aprendemos que amávamos ser empreendedores. Até hoje, não sei explicar de forma 100% racional; foi mais emocional, e ainda é. Amamos construir algo do zero, trabalhar com colegas inteligentes e ambiciosos, enfrentar novos desafios todos os dias. Também aprendemos que adorávamos trabalhar juntos, e nos comprometemos a continuar trabalhando juntos por anos. Então, dessa experiência, não tivemos um grande retorno financeiro, mas conquistamos uma parceria de longo prazo entre mim e o Pedro. Depois de nos formarmos, trabalhei na General Atlantic, uma firma global de private equity focada em estágio de crescimento (Series B, Series C). Lá, me concentrei em empresas de tecnologia B2B e avaliei várias empresas de recrutamento, performance, folha de pagamento, compensação, etc. Foi um lugar fantástico para aprender e, eventualmente, acabei mergulhando fundo na área de tecnologia para RH, que encabeça o que fazemos hoje na Comp. Florian: Impressionante! Há muito o que explorar só nessa parte da sua trajetória, e também muitos aspectos em comum, Chris. Eu também joguei futebol, mas, infelizmente, não contra o Mbappé. Essa é uma ótima história! Você deveria contar isso mais vezes. Chris: Eu até contaria mais vezes, mas perdemos aquele jogo de 5 a 1. Florian: Ele marcou? Chris: Ele marcou três vezes. Florian: Uau. Já dava pra perceber que ele era incrível, né? Chris: Sim, dava pra ver que ele era fantástico. Florian: Então provavelmente você está em um daqueles vídeos caseiros onde o Mbappé destrói todo mundo, e você é um dos meninos tentando detê-lo no vídeo. Chris: Eu adoraria ver esse vídeo, por mais embaraçoso que fosse. Florian: Muito bom. Mas voltando ao que você mencionou, algo que capturou minha atenção foi quando você disse que, até hoje, não sabe muito bem por que quis começar uma empresa, dizendo ser um processo emocional. E, em muitos aspectos, isso se assemelha a ser uma criança querendo ser jogador de futebol, certo? É mais como um sonho, algo que você simplesmente quer fazer. E, como empreendedor, esperamos que você acabe se tornando mais um "Mbappé", do que "Chris". Mas, me conte um pouco mais sobre como vocês construíram a empresa na faculdade, venderam e seguiram em frente. Você sabia que ia começar outra empresa? E trabalhar na General Atlantic foi mais um “deixa eu olhar o mundo real e adquirir habilidades” ou algo mais? Como foi essa decisão? Para você, foi sempre óbvio que aquilo era algo temporário e que você voltaria a ser fundador? Chris: Sim, diria que foi algo assim. No último semestre da faculdade, Pedro e eu fizemos uma promessa um ao outro de que, em até 3 anos, iríamos começar um negócio juntos. Pedro foi trabalhar em um cargo de produto no Vale do Silício, enquanto eu fui para a General Atlantic, mas o plano era claro: trabalhar por alguns anos, ter experiências complementares em nossas trajetórias e aprender como é estar no “mundo real”. Queríamos construir um currículo sólido, mesmo que por apenas 1 ou 2 anos. Mas sabíamos, desde o dia em que paramos de trabalhar no negócio de entrega de açaí, que um dia voltaríamos. Florian: E vocês sabiam que seria vocês dois juntos novamente. Chris: Exatamente. Disso nós tínhamos certeza. Não sabíamos se seria uma empresa B2B, B2C, em qual setor, ou mesmo em qual geografia, mas sabíamos que seria nós dois. Acabamos indo para o mundo do tech para RH porque foi o foco do meu trabalho na General Atlantic, e posso aprofundar mais sobre isso. Florian: Legal, fale mais sobre isso. Acho muito interessante. Chris: Eu diria que existiam alguns temas principais. Na General Atlantic, como a maioria das empresas de investimento, o papel dos analistas juniores é basicamente buscar oportunidades e fazer diligências, no nosso caso, em empresas de tecnologia em estágios mais avançados (Series B em diante). Algo que me surpreendeu inicialmente – e lembro de comentar isso com o Pedro – foi que, ao fazermos diligência em empresas promissoras, percebíamos que a maioria dos CEOs tinha muita clareza sobre sua estratégia de mercado e visão do produto, mas, por outro lado, não tinham tanto domínio sobre a estratégia relacionada às pessoas que fazem todas essas coisas acontecerem. Perguntávamos coisas como: “Por que vocês têm essa divisão específica de salário fixo versus variável?”, ou “Quais são os custos associados à folha de pagamento nessa região ou país, se você contratar CLT ou prestadores de serviço?”. Também perguntávamos coisas como: “Como os gestores conseguem orçamento para novas contratações?” ou “Como vocês alocam o orçamento de aumento salarial anual?”. E a maioria dos líderes usava uma boa dose de intuição para responder a essas questões. Isso não é necessariamente errado, mas começamos a chamar isso de “estratégia de custo de mão de obra”. E ficou claro para nós que, mesmo em empresas modernas de tecnologia e serviços, onde 50% a 80% do orçamento operacional vai para folha de pagamento e benefícios, a abordagem usada para essas questões era baseada em “achismos”. O foco nessas decisões críticas parecia ser insuficiente. Outra coisa que eu aprendi na General Atlantic foi a operação do RH, ou seja, o lado operacional do RH, e não tanto o estratégico. Quando digo operacional, quero dizer as atividades diárias geridas, muitas vezes, em planilhas de Excel e PDFs. Observamos que esse era um espaço relativamente saturado globalmente. Em qualquer mercado grande (Latam, EUA, Europa, etc.), havia dezenas de empresas vendendo ferramentas de software que ajudavam as empresas a gerenciar diferentes partes da área de RH: desde folha de pagamento até recrutamento, desempenho, entre outros. Avaliamos que o lado operacional já tinha muitos concorrentes e seria muito difícil entrar nesse mercado com um SaaS tradicional. Além disso, percebemos que, enquanto o lado operacional era bem atendido, o lado estratégico – especificamente em relação a compensação e estratégia de custo de mão de obra – ainda dependia amplamente de consultorias como Mercer, Korn Ferry e Willis Towers Watson. Essas consultorias são extremamente caras e com NPS negativo. Foi um momento de “eureka” perceber que, apesar do custo alto, os resultados obtidos com essas consultorias não atendiam às expectativas. Além disso, muitas decisões relacionadas à compensação nas empresas ainda eram feitas de forma pouco transparente, tanto para recrutadores quanto para os próprios colaboradores. A compensação como um todo parecia ser um “problema cabeludo” tanto do lado da empresa quanto do colaborador. E foi aí que começamos a explorar a ideia de construir uma empresa que ajudasse outras empresas com suas estratégias de compensação total. Florian: Super interessante, Chris. Isso faz muito sentido. Por que você não nos conta um pouco mais sobre a evolução do produto da Comp e como a empresa começou? Também trabalhamos juntos nisso, então vi boa parte da jornada. Quando começaram, e quando investimos em vocês pela primeira vez, a ideia e o produto inicial eram, essencialmente, um banco de dados de compensação, com dados em tempo real. E foi incrível como vocês conseguiram atrair várias techs para participarem da plataforma, compartilhando, de forma anônima, os dados de compensação. Em troca, essas empresas recebiam benchmarks do mercado. Se minha descrição não for precisa, me corrija. Mas esse era o produto inicial. Como o valor evoluiu desde então? O que vocês aprenderam ao longo desses últimos anos e, agora, qual o principal valor que a Comp entrega? Chris: Certo! Há muita coisa para discutir aqui. Mas sim, começamos exatamente como você descreveu. Criamos um banco de dados de compensação, que é o primeiro produto. A proposta de valor para os clientes era: para tomar a maioria das decisões sobre salários, benefícios, bônus, e incentivos de longo prazo, eles precisariam de benchmarks do mercado. Quer dizer, dados específicos sobre o que os concorrentes diretos estão fazendo. E, claro, cada cliente precisa de benchmarks diferentes: por exemplo, uma empresa pode querer comparar seus engenheiros com Nubank e PicPay, mas precisa olhar para Itaú ou Bradesco quando se trata de analistas financeiros. O primeiro produto que criamos foi, basicamente, isso: um banco de dados com rede de dados altamente valiosa. Quanto mais empresas participam da base compartilhando seus dados anonimamente, mais robusto o banco de dados fica para todos. Por isso, disponibilizamos essa ferramenta gratuitamente – além do fato de que não existe orçamento tão significativo destinado apenas para a aquisição de benchmark. Hoje, temos mais de 1.000 empresas usando esse produto na América Latina, com foco no Brasil, além de algumas multinacionais que têm operações locais. Continuamos expandindo: começamos apenas com benchmarks de salário, mas já adicionamos dados sobre modelos de salário variável, benefícios, incentivos de longo prazo e até análises organizacionais como número médio de subordinados por gestor. Agora, ajudamos os clientes em duas frentes principais: estratégia e implementação. Sobre estratégia: hoje empresas nos contratam para desenhar ou revisar a estratégia de compensação. Isso inclui desde construir tabelas salariais até planos de bônus e benefícios. Por outro lado, também fornecemos ferramentas para implementar essas políticas, automatizando promoções, comunicação de benefícios, entre outras atividades. Florian: Super interessante, Chris.

Isso inclui desde construir tabelas salariais até planos de bônus e benefícios. Por outro lado, também fornecemos ferramentas para implementar essas políticas, automatizando promoções, comunicação de benefícios, entre outras atividades. Florian: Muito interessante, Chris. Notei que você não mencionou a palavra "IA" ao falar do produto, o que é curioso, porque vejo a Comp como uma empresa nativa de IA. Vamos falar um pouco sobre o que significa ser uma empresa nativa de IA, tanto no produto quanto na cultura. Como vocês estão utilizando IA para liderar essa categoria de "selling work"? Chris: Ótima pergunta. Talvez a primeira coisa a abordar seja por que não mencionamos IA ao falar da Comp. Diferente de outras empresas de "selling work", que tentam eliminar completamente a necessidade de humanos na operação, nós intencionalmente mantemos humanos no processo. Isso porque acreditamos que, em decisões estratégicas como compensação, é crucial ter um especialista humano envolvido. Nosso diferencial é que usamos IA para apoiar esses especialistas. A IA nos ajuda a analisar grandes volumes de dados, identificar padrões e fornecer recomendações baseadas em dados. Mas o toque humano ainda é essencial, especialmente em decisões estratégicas críticas. Florian: Faz sentido. E como vocês têm se saído em termos de tração e marcos importantes? Chris: Hoje, temos mais de 1.000 empresas usando nosso produto de benchmark e mais de 100 clientes pagantes utilizando nossos serviços de estratégia e implementação. Crescemos mais de 8x ano a ano em 2024 com uma equipe enxuta de 16 pessoas. Florian: Impressionante. E como vocês pensam sobre a cultura da empresa, especialmente em um ambiente de crescimento tão rápido? Chris: Temos sido muito intencionais sobre manter a equipe pequena e focada. Acreditamos que uma equipe menor e altamente qualificada é mais eficiente e ágil. Isso nos permite evitar burocracia e tomar decisões rapidamente. Também incentivamos uma cultura de colaboração e propriedade, onde cada membro da equipe é incentivado a assumir responsabilidade e contribuir ativamente. Florian: Muito interessante, Chris. E quais são os maiores desafios que vocês enfrentaram até agora? Chris: Um dos maiores desafios tem sido vender para compradores avessos ao risco, como o RH. É difícil convencê-los a adotar uma nova abordagem sem muita confiança. Investimos muito em construir nossa marca e estabelecer confiança com nossos clientes. Outro desafio é educar o mercado sobre o valor que oferecemos. Muitas vezes, os clientes não percebem que têm um problema até que seja tarde demais. Por isso, começamos com contratos menores e expandimos conforme ganhamos a confiança do cliente. Florian: E quais são os planos futuros para a Comp? Chris: Temos ambições globais. O problema que resolvemos é universal, e acreditamos que podemos levar nossa abordagem para outros mercados. Estamos apenas começando, mas estamos animados com o potencial de crescimento e impacto que podemos ter. Florian: Muito obrigado, Chris, por compartilhar sua história e insights. Foi uma conversa incrível, e estamos ansiosos para ver o que o futuro reserva para a Comp. Chris: Obrigado, Florian, e a toda a equipe da Canary pelo apoio. Estamos apenas começando, e há muito mais por vir. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A governance structure in L&D is a move from implicit to explicit practices. It brings rigour and structure to decision-making practices that would otherwise be nebulous and ill-defined. It is a recognition that L&D is, fundamentally, a strategic function – equally critical for the organisation's growth and for its survival in turbulent times. But it doesn't exist in every L&D team.  In this episode, Noah and Tom break down why it is essential and how we, as L&D, get to grips with it.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Governance aligns L&D more closely with business objectives and ensures consistent, scalable impact. The decision on where the L&D budget is spent has to be made by the business so that the budget can be allocated to training that generates profit. Governance includes careful management of your key constituencies and relationships. Alignment, communication, consistency, planning, measurement, execution, tracking, and project management are all equally important. Ask yourself what does better look like? Properly define what you are aiming for. New technologies are not always better, be sure to properly assess them. Good governance is never 100% done, it is an ongoing process. Taking a “solid core, flexible edges” approach to governance works well for most organizations. Be brave. It´s worth a little bit of pain to make big gains.   BEST MOMENTS “Governance is about aligning learning to the strategic objectives and needs of the business… so that you can demonstrate the value of that learning function.” “You have to create consistency in the learner experience .” “AI is going to be a lightning rod.” “Shiny object syndrome  is the enemy of good governance.” “We not only define what governance is, but we define what's what it's not.”   Noah Rabinowitz Bio With 25+ years of experience in learning and leadership development, Noah has been Chief Learning Officer at Intel and Moderna and consulted globally with Korn Ferry and Deloitte. He specializes in innovative learning strategies, executive development, and large-scale digital upskilling programs, driving impactful results across industries. Tom Kupetis Bio Tom brings over 25 years of management consulting and learning solutions experience with Fortune 500 companies. As Executive Vice President at St. Charles Consulting Group, he oversees the firm's go-to-market strategy. Previously, he held senior roles at Xerox Learning Services and Intellinex LLC (EY subsidiary).

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and Korn Ferry Tour Championship! -Top 5 favs for Dunhill -2 matchups for Dunhill -1 t10 for Dunhill -2 outrights for Dunhill -Dunhill best bet -KFT Championship outright -KFT Championship best bet Summary Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Jon Rahm (0:54 - 5:20) Jon Rahm opens at +650, fresh off a second-place finish at the Open de España. Despite his strong recent form, Will Doctor passes on Rahm due to the unpredictable nature of his game and the ongoing conflict between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. Rahm's excellent play over the past month is acknowledged, but his missed cut at this event in 2019 and distractions from the LIV-PGA dispute make him a risky pick. Rory McIlroy (5:21 - 10:30) McIlroy, priced at +700, has several near-wins this season, including a playoff loss at the BMW PGA Championship. His putting has been outstanding, but Will Doctor is concerned about potential distractions as McIlroy is paired with prominent figures in the pro-am. Despite McIlroy's stellar form and strong history at the Dunhill, Will Doctor opts to skip him this week, but favors McIlroy over Rahm. Tyrrell Hatton vs. Tommy Fleetwood (11:00 - 16:00) Hatton, priced at 11-1, has won this event twice but has struggled with slow starts this year. Will Doctor backs Hatton in a matchup against Fleetwood, whose poor putting and recent finishes (no better than 22nd) at the Dunhill raise concerns. Fleetwood's past success at the Dunhill, including multiple second-place finishes, is overshadowed by recent struggles. Shane Lowry (16:01 - 18:00) Lowry, priced at 20-1, is passed over due to his subpar putting. Despite strong ball striking, Will Doctor believes Lowry's struggles on the greens will keep him from contending this week. Robert MacIntyre vs. Shane Lowry (18:01 - 21:00) Will Doctor picks MacIntyre over Lowry in a matchup, citing MacIntyre's recent solid play, including a win at the Scottish Open and multiple top finishes. MacIntyre's consistent driving and putting make him a safer pick than Lowry. Grant Forrest (22:00 - 25:00) Forrest is Will Doctor's first outright pick, priced at 80-1. His recent form, including top-10 finishes at the Irish Open and Open de España, along with strong past performances at the Dunhill, make him a contender. Will Doctor also picks Forrest for a top-10 finish at +375. Tom McKibben (25:01 - 27:00) McKibben, at 60-1, is another outright pick. Despite recent struggles, McKibben's strong driving and iron play are highlighted as key strengths. His 10th-place finish at the BMW PGA signals a return to form, making him a value bet for this week. Best Bet: Nicholas Norgaard Over Patrick Reed (27:01 - 30:00) Norgaard is chosen over Reed at -115. Norgaard's recent win at the British Masters and strong play over the past month make him a reliable pick, while Reed's top-10 finish last week is attributed mostly to luck with putting. Korn Ferry Tour Championship John Pak (30:01 - 33:00) Pak, priced at 45-1, is Will Doctor's outright pick. Pak has shown recent improvement, finishing in the top 15 in his last two starts. Will Doctor believes Pak is well-positioned to win and secure a PGA Tour card. Isaiah Salenda (33:01 - 35:00) Salenda is Will Doctor's best bet for a top-20 finish at +320. His long drives make him well-suited for the demanding Pete Dye course, and Will Doctor expects him to rebound after a missed cut last week. Conclusion Will Doctor closes by encouraging listeners to stay tuned for more coverage and to review his Sanderson Farms Championship preview. His picks for the Alfred Dunhill Links and Korn Ferry Tour Championship offer a mix of well-researched matchups, outright winners, and best bets to guide bettors for the upcoming tournaments.

In today's episode: American salaries are forecasted to go up by an average of 3.5% next year. Executives face a balancing act: paying enough to retain employees while not eating too far into the margins. Most are happy to pay for performance, but only if they see that performance. That's why they prefer to pay bonuses. The most engaging employers offer good compensation, but also think holistically about non-financial rewards like recognition, work climate, and progression.
