A showdown for the federal Liberal leadership will take place later this morning.Many Liberal MPs and senators are throwing support behind Angus Taylor and are confident he can defeat current opposition leader Sussan Ley.The contest is set to determine whether the party will shift further to the right, at a time when MPs warn that dire polling threatens the very existence of the party as a legitimate force in Australian politics.Sussan Ley's only spent nine months in the job and is the first woman to lead the Liberal Party at a federal level.Victoria Police says about ten thousand protesters were mostly peaceful at a rally in Melbourne, opposing the Israeli president's visit, in contrast to the violent scenes in Sydney.Isaac Herzog's in Australia to comfort victims of the Bondi terror attack but protesters insist he's not welcome given Israel's conduct in Palestinian territories.  Meanwhile a man will face court, accused of following the Israeli president around during his visit to Sydney.Police accuse the 45-year-old of using offensive language toward Isaac Herzog.And Australian Winter Olympic champion Cooper Woods says his discipline helped him win a ground-breaking gold medal in LivignoWoods has become the seventh Australian to top the podium in Winter Games history, edging out Canada's Mikael Kingsbury in the men's mogul skiing.He's also the first Australian to win gold at this year's games. 

Angus Taylor is the new leader of the Liberal Party, Coalition and Opposition after a resounding victory over Sussan Ley in a leadership spill, 34 votes to 17.It's a big win for conservatives in the party over moderates and gives the New South Wales MP a chance to try and rebuild the party while it faces catastrophic polling and the rise of One Nation.Victorian Senator Jane Hume is the new deputy leader after defeating Ted O'Brien.It means the federal Liberal Party's first female leader only lasted nine months in the job before she was rolled.The Australian Winter Olympics team is celebrating its first gold medal of this year's games, coming from an unlikely win in the men's moguls skiing.Cooper Woods claimed gold and stunned the world's best with a series of sublime runs to become Australia's seventh gold medallist in Winter Olympics history.His family says his underdog triumph is well deserved given his dedication and drive.And south east Queensland residents are bracing for potentially hundreds of millimetres to fall in some areas.People are sandbagging in preparation for dangerous flooding into the weekend.The severe weather warning stretches from the Sunshine Coast to Gold Coast and west through southern Queensland.

The federal Liberal Party's infighting and fears over dire polling are coming to a head now that Angus Taylor's finally revealed he's challenging Sussan Ley for the leadership.She's the first woman to lead the party and is less than a year into the job of opposition leader as the Coalition tries to find its way after being thumped at the last election.There's been a flurry of front bench resignations and the vote's expected to take place either tonight or tomorrow morning, but it remains unclear whether moderates who previously supported Sussan Ley will defect to Angus Taylor who's more conservative.US attorney general Pam Bondi has clashed with Democrats at a congressional hearing, where she was questioned over the censorship of names in the Epstein files.She says she's "deeply sorry" for what victims of Jeffrey Epstein have gone through, but refused to apologise for errors and questionable redactions in the documents.Survivors say they'll keep fighting to expose Epstein's alleged accomplices.And Victorian premier Jacinta Allan has resisted calls for a royal commission, after a scathing report found billions of dollars were funnelled from taxpayers to bikies, gangland figures, and even killers on state-run construction sites where she was the responsible minister.She says any allegations of corrupt behaviour were referred to the relevant authorities.The premier says any misuse of taxpayer funds haven't been proven, and has refused to probe the matter further.

Support appears to be firming for Angus Taylor to win the Liberal leadership, as those behind current opposition leader Sussan Ley privately paint a grim picture of her chances.At nine o'clock today, federal Liberal MPs and senators will hold a meeting to vote on a leadership spill.Yesterday there was a run of high-profile resignations from the shadow ministry, including Michalea Cash, James Paterson, Jonno Duniam, and Dan Tehan.Sussan Ley's been opposition leader for nine months, and is the first woman to head up the Liberals at a federal level.The federal government's announced $87 million over four years to support survivors of the stolen generations.The funding will go towards services such as family tracing and reunification, health, and access to redress.More than a hundred survivors are also gathering at federal parliament house this morning to mark the 18th anniversary of the national apology to the Stolen Generations made by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.More intense rainfall is expected in Queensland's south east today.The weather bureau's warning heavy rain could lead to dangerous flash flooding.Meanwhile the full extent of damage is being assessed after flash flooding in Alice Springs in central Australia.The Trump administration's ending the immigration crackdown in the US state of Minnesota that led to thousands of arrests, violent protests and the fatal shootings of two US citizens over the past two months.Donald Trump's border tsar Tom Homan claims it was the largest immigration enforcement operation ever, touting it as a success.But the actions of ICE immigration officers attracted global outrage after they fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti in the city of Minneapolis.And Cooper Woods has become just the seventh Australian to win gold in Winter Olympic history, triumphing in the men's mogul skiing in Livigno.The 25-year-old came into the event having never won a world cup event, but registered a score of 83.71, level with Canada's Mikael Kingsbury.Woods was declared the winner based on the turns component, while fellow Australians Matt Graham and Jackson Harvey finished in fifth and eighth respectively.

With over 83 percent public support, the SAVE Act should be a layup. So why are Democrats attacking it as "Jim Crow 2.0," and why is Republican leadership in the Senate stalling behind procedural excuses? This episode breaks down what the SAVE America Act actually does, why voter ID has overwhelming bipartisan support, and how the "suppression" narrative relies on racial gaslighting. From the myth of nationalized elections to the Senate's zombie filibuster, Professor Nick Giordano provides a blunt analysis of why election integrity has become a controversial fight in Washington. What You'll Learn What the SAVE Act really changes and why proof of citizenship matters for secure elections Why claims that voter ID is racist collapse under real-world scrutiny and polling data Black and Latino communities How voter roll maintenance works everywhere else in government and why elections are treated differently Why the zombie filibuster allows Senate leadership to block popular legislation without taking a public stand What the GOP's hesitation reveals about political courage and the upcoming 2026 midterms.

In this episode, Charles Good and Dr. Megan Sumeracki delve into the intricacies of learning, memory, and effective teaching strategies. They discuss the importance of understanding how learning works, the pitfalls of relying on intuition, and the myths surrounding cognitive science. The conversation emphasizes that learning is a competitive advantage and that effective learning strategies can significantly enhance performance. They also explore the role of technology and AI in learning, the hidden costs of cognitive offloading, and the foundational role of memory in the learning process. Finally, they provide insights into improving the transfer of learning to real-world situations.Megan Sumeracki, PhD is a cognitive psychologist and co-founder of The Learning Scientists, an organization focused on translating decades of research on learning and memory into practical, evidence-based strategies that help people learn more effectively and retain what they learn.TAKEAWAYSLearning is no longer a support function; it's a competitive advantage.Most professionals struggle not due to lack of intelligence but ineffective learning design.Intuition often misleads us in assessing our learning effectiveness.Confidence does not equate to competence; many are poor judges of their own learning.Effective learning strategies often feel difficult but yield long-term benefits.Cognitive offloading can hinder deeper learning if relied upon too heavily.All knowledge is fundamentally tied to memory; without retrieval, knowledge is inaccessible.Technology and AI can assist learning but cannot replace foundational knowledge.Connecting new information to existing knowledge enhances learning efficiency.Multiple concrete examples help in understanding abstract concepts.CHAPTERS00:00 The Learning Gap: Understanding Memory and Learning01:36 The Learning Scientists: Bridging Research and Practice02:53 Confidence vs. Competence: The Learning Dilemma04:45 Intuition in Learning: The Pitfalls of Familiarity07:25 Myths of Learning: Debunking Common Misconceptions10:06 Technology and Memory: The Role of AI in Learning17:07 Knowledge is Memory: The Foundation of Learning22:32 Abstract vs. Concrete: Making Learning Accessible31:33 Understanding Transfer in Learning34:20 The Power of Retrieval Practice35:24 Future Directions in Learning Science

Artificial Intelligence is no longer experimental. It is embedded in daily business decisions, workflows, and leadership processes. Yet across organisations, trust in Artificial Intelligence remains fragile. In this episode of the Leadership Podcast, Niels Brabandt explains why AI adoption fails not because of technological limitations, but because leadership underestimates the human, cultural, and organisational risks attached to its use. Business leaders often interpret hesitation towards AI as resistance to change. In reality, scepticism is frequently rational. When Artificial Intelligence produces incorrect or fabricated results, the consequences inside organisations can be severe. Employees understand that using AI and being wrong may be punished more harshly than avoiding AI altogether and working without it. This episode explores: Why trust in Artificial Intelligence is primarily a leadership responsibility How organisational culture silently discourages AI usage Why poor AI awareness training destroys trust instead of building it The importance of scientific credibility and professional qualification in AI education Why leaders must actively use AI themselves to enable adoption How accountability, resources, and psychological safety determine successful AI implementation Drawing on international experience across large corporations and smaller organisations, Niels Brabandt outlines a structured approach to building trust in Artificial Intelligence through leadership behaviour, professional training, and organisational support systems. This episode is essential listening for executives, senior managers, HR leaders, and business decision makers responsible for AI strategy, digital transformation, and organisational change. Trust in Artificial Intelligence is not created by tools or mandates. It is created by leadership.

Guest: Jose Vergara, a coach at CEO Coaching International. Jose is a seasoned CEO, president, and operator with deep experience leading organizations across public companies, private equity-backed businesses, family-owned firms, founder-led companies, and partner-owned enterprises. Quick Background: If AI was just a technical problem, the solutions would be simple. Upgrade your tech stack. Hire the best AI experts. Buy more bandwidth. But the true challenge of AI is how it challenges leadership. CEOs who feel the need to "do something" often sacrifice identity and trust for speed. And in their haste, they fail to communicate a clear vision that reduces employees' anxiety around AI and transforms the company's culture. On today's show, Jose Vergara discusses how his 5-step AI roadmap for CEOs can help companies embrace AI, improve productivity, and Make BIG Happen.

How do bad leaders persist in current-day environments, and how do they use factors like fear, rewards, and the natural difficulty of uprooting entrenched authority to their advantage? Despite the challenges inherent to speaking out, what duty and role do followers play in identifying and addressing bad leadership?Barbara Kellerman is the founder and a fellow at the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and the author of many books, addressing many different aspects of leadership. Her latest works are Leadership from Bad to Worse: What Happens When Bad Festers, LEADERSHIP: Essential Selections on Power, and The Enablers: How Team Trump Flunked the Pandemic and Failed America.Greg and Barbara discuss Barbara's critiques of the leadership industry, highlighting its focus on 'good' leadership while often neglecting the study of 'bad' leadership and the crucial role of followers. She argues for a more nuanced understanding of leadership that includes the contexts and followers that shape and are shaped by leaders. Their conversation dives into the complexities of trust in leaders, the need for rigorous education and credentialing in leadership akin to doctors or lawyers, and the significance of managing both leadership development and organizational design. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The three-part leadership system06:25: The leadership system is slightly more complicated than just leadership, but only slightly. It's got three parts, each of which is of equal importance. One is the leader. None of this is to say that leaders are unimportant, but equal importance. This is—think of it as an equilateral triangle—the leader is one point, if you will. One of the two other points are the followers, the constituents, the stakeholders, whatever language. If you do not like the word follower, we can do all the euphemisms. I tend to use follower because in English, it is the only natural antonym of leader. So let's say, for the purpose here now, one part of the triangle is the leader, the other part is the followers, and the third part, again of equal importance, is the context—or better put, are the contexts, 'cause it is always plural within which leaders and followers are situated.There is no leader without followers29:55: We tend to obey. We do not tend to disobey. So the idea that this broad thing called the field of leadership pays such inadequate attention to the obvious other side of the coin—leadership is, after all, a relationship. You cannot have a leader without at least a single follower. Why is that other, by definition, so much less consequential? The answer is they are not, but the field pays that other virtually no attention.Does being a good leader automatically make you ethical?15:45: The word bad is so complicated. And it is adverse good that I have found it practical in my work generally to divide bad and good into two categories. One is a continuum of ethics, so you're a good leader if you're ethical. You're a bad leader if you're unethical. And the other continuum is effectiveness. You're a bad leader if you're ineffective, and you're a good leader if you're effective.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Deborah RhodeMartin WinterkornVolkswagen Emissions ScandalHippocratic OathGroupthinkList of prime ministers of the United KingdomNiccolò MachiavelliJeffrey PfefferMarco RubioGuest Profile:Personal WebsiteProfile on LinkedInWikipedia ProfileCenter for Public LeadershipGuest Work:Amazon Author PageLeadership from Bad to Worse: What Happens When Bad FestersLEADERSHIP: Essential Selections on PowerThe Enablers: How Team Trump Flunked the Pandemic and Failed AmericaWomen and LeadershipProfessionalizing LeadershipThe End of Leadership: A Provocative Reassessment of Leadership in the Digital Age—Questioning Beliefs That Are Dangerously Out-of-DateFollowership: How Followers Are Creating Change and Changing LeadersBad Leadership: What It Is, How It Happens, Why It MattersReinventing Leadership: Making the Connection Between Politics and BusinessThe President As World LeaderLeadership and Negotiation in the Middle EastBad Leadership – Why We Steer ClearTEDx Talk: What do we do about bad leaders?

Most people think they're burned out because of what they have to do. They're missing a huge contributor when they don't also look at where they do it. In this episode, Garrett Wood shares neuroscience based insights on how the built environment can impact productivity, executive function, cognitive presence and energy levels.  The world is biased towards a sensory setpoint that was deemed "normal." Unfortunately, most people don't match this setpoint. An environment filled with sensory micro-stressors adds an extra stress load. Spaces that overwhelm even one sense can fragment your attention and generally require you to give more effort than the task should require. Environmental sensitivity is not an introvert/extrovert thing. We often give energetic pushes to meet a deadline but fail to give ourselves recovery time making the workplace ground zero for stress and burnout. A sign of burnout is going into energy conservation mode where we can't seem to resist things like binge watching or doom scrolling because our brain needs a break.

In today's complex and high-speed environment, leaders are navigating an unprecedented flood of demands, decisions, and disruptions. The constant barrage of emails, meetings, and shifting priorities often leads leaders into a state where urgency outweighs importance and action is mistaken for progress. Amid these pressures, a critical—yet often overlooked—leadership muscle begins to weaken: judgment. This episode dives deep into how sustained stress affects decision-making and perspective. Recognizing the signs of judgment fatigue and understanding its impact on teams and organizations is essential for anyone in a leadership position. Listeners will uncover strategies to protect, recover, and strengthen their decision-making capabilities, ensuring that both immediate needs and long-term goals are effectively balanced.

It might sound crazy, but thinking and strategizing are often not the best ways to solve problems, make life decisions, connect with others or navigate the workplace. My guest Owen Marcus is a noted psychologist whose work applies the science of somatics to combat stress and the resulting dissociation with our body. Listen in to learn more about how to develop healthier life patterns, unlock your productivity and be better guided by your intuition to the choices that are best for you. The dissociation or stress becomes a default setting over time, making us feel more and more isolated from the people in our lives. Developing connection and quality relationships relies on establishing clear goals, boundaries and giving yourself agency. We are all intuitive, but have stopped listening to the somatic signals it give us. Addictions can arise from a lack of healthy connectivity Toxic masculinity and a culture of codependency in the workplace has had negative impacts for men and women. Communicating and connecting better can over come this and lead to higher performing teams.

How do you move forward with AI in schools when staff confidence is all over the place? Jeff Utecht and Tricia Friedman address one of the most persistent leadership challenges in AI literacy implementation. Within the same faculty, some educators are experimenting confidently with tools and workflows while others feel intimidated, skeptical, or frustrated by rapid change. Jeff and Tricia frame the issue through a mindset-first lens and introduce practical leadership moves grounded in BAKE: balance, adaptability, knowledge sharing, and empathy. The conversation begins with a simple leadership truth: confidence grows through a beginner's stance, repetition, and low-stakes practice, not perfection on day one. Tricia shares a "pumpkin patch" analogy for learning something new and models how leaders can normalize experimentation and productive struggle for staff. From there, the episode explores how leaders can reduce anxiety and build confidence by "level setting" foundational understanding of how AI works. When teachers grasp what is happening under the hood, they are more willing to engage, ask better questions, and try new workflows. A central theme is personalization. Confidence increases when educators connect AI learning to what they already love about teaching, then use AI to enhance that strength rather than asking teachers to adopt tools for their own sake. The hosts also highlight the importance of playful, low-stakes experimentation outside of school contexts, from recipe support to pop-culture research challenges, as a way to learn tool boundaries without the pressure of classroom performance. The episode closes with a clear leadership stance: sustained learning matters. AI capabilities are changing quickly, so professional learning cannot be treated as a one-time training. Adaptability requires ongoing documentation of experiments, time-stamped learning, and renewed emphasis on media literacy as AI becomes more persuasive and more embedded in everyday life. If you are leading AI literacy in a school or district and trying to support both early adopters and hesitant educators, this episode offers a grounded approach to building momentum without fracturing culture. In this episode, you will hear about leading AI literacy when teacher confidence varies widely, progress over perfection and the beginner's stance, differentiated professional learning for AI, foundational understanding of how AI works, low-stakes experimentation that increases staff buy-in, balancing voices of early adopters and skeptics, adaptability as AI tools evolve, and mindset-first change management through the BAKE Framework.

   This episode features SFC Jacob Allen, an elite medic from the 75th Ranger Regiment currently transitioning into the Inter-service Physician Assistant Program (IPAP). With a background that includes six combat deployments, Allen offers a rare firsthand account of what it means to deliver medical care at the "tip of the spear." He describes the unique pressures of being the primary medical provider for a platoon of Rangers, where the responsibility is immense, and the environment is often austere. A major theme of the conversation is the 75th Ranger Regiment's culture of excellence, built on mastering basic medical skills and a relentless commitment to training both medics and non-medical infantrymen.    SFC Allen shares his expert insights on the evolution of military medical training and strongly advocates for realistic simulation. He explains why human roleplayers and "the feel of skin" are irreplaceable when preparing for high-stakes procedures like cricothyrotomies. Beyond the clinical technicalities, Allen delves into the leadership challenges he faced while managing medical readiness for multiple companies, emphasizing that the most difficult part of the job is often managing personalities and expectations. His transition from a senior non-commissioned officer to an officer candidate in IPAP is fueled by a lifelong passion for medicine and a desire to build longitudinal relationships with patients, a hallmark of the Battalion PA role.      The episode also serves as a practical guide for enlisted service members interested in IPAP. Allen breaks down the application process, from prerequisites and SAT scores to the importance of strong letters of recommendation. He concludes with profound leadership advice for junior officers, urging them to humble themselves and lean on the vast experience of their senior NCOs. SFC Jacob Allen's story is a testament to the "for the boys" philosophy—a commitment to putting the welfare and development of soldiers above all else. This conversation is essential listening for anyone interested in special operations, advanced medical education, or the intersection of clinical excellence and military leadership. Chapters (00:00-01:28) Introduction to SFC Jacob Allen (01:28-09:16) Life as a Medic in the 75th Ranger Regiment (09:16-17:15) Realistic Training and Medical Simulation (17:15-26:47) Leadership Challenges and the Move to IPAP (26:47-38:45) Navigating the IPAP Application and Curriculum (38:45-51:00) Future Aspirations and Advice for Leaders Chapter Summaries (00:00-01:28) Introduction to SFC Jacob Allen: Dr. Soderdahl introduces SFC Jacob Allen, a student in the Inter-service Physician Assistant Program with an extensive background in the 75th Ranger Regiment. SFC Allen shares his unique path of enlisting with a college degree and his motivation to join the "family business" of military service. (01:28-09:16) Life as a Medic in the 75th Ranger Regiment: SFC Allen describes the immense responsibility of being a SOF medic, where one often operates on a "medical island" as the primary provider for a platoon. He emphasizes the Regiment's culture of training non-medics to high standards and notes that the unit's core is the professional development of young soldiers. (09:16-17:15) Realistic Training and Medical Simulation: This section explores SFC Allen's philosophy on medical training, which prioritizes extreme realism and the use of human role-players over high-tech mannequins. He discusses innovative "cheats" for simulation, such as using earbuds to communicate with role-players to better simulate patient feedback and clinical symptoms. (17:15-26:47) Leadership Challenges and the Move to IPAP: SFC Allen reflects on the difficulties of managing personalities across multiple companies and the realization that senior NCO roles eventually move away from direct clinical care. He explains his decision to join IPAP to stay close to medicine and his desire to emulate the influential Battalion PAs he served under. (26:47-38:45) Navigating the IPAP Application and Curriculum: SFC Allen provides a detailed breakdown of the IPAP selection process, including academic prerequisites, the PA-CAT, and the weight of NCOERs in the holistic review. He also describes the transition from the program's intensive didactic phase to his current emergency department clinical rotations. (38:45-51:00) Future Aspirations and Advice for Leaders: In the final chapter, SFC Allen discusses the expectation for PAs to return to conventional units before reassessing for SOF roles to learn the administrative side of the job. He offers final words of wisdom for junior officers, encouraging them to prioritize their troops' welfare and to value the mentorship of senior NCOs. Take Home Messages Master the Fundamentals First: Excellence in high-stakes environments is built upon the mastery of basic medical tasks and trauma care. Training should never "out-kick its coverage," as the ability to perform the basics perfectly under pressure is what saves lives on the battlefield. Prioritize Realistic Simulation: There is no substitute for human roleplayers and the tactile feedback of real skin and anatomy when training for medical procedures. Effective training should be as close to reality as possible, including the emotional intensity and physical complications of treating a real person. Leadership is About Managing People: Whether in a clinical setting or a combat unit, the greatest challenge of leadership is managing diverse personalities and expectations. Success requires a leader to adapt their communication style to the individual needs of their subordinates and commanders. NCO Experience is Invaluable to Officers: Junior officers must recognize that senior NCOs possess a level of operational experience that cannot be replicated in a classroom. Developing a humble, learner's mindset and leaning on NCO mentorship is essential for any officer to lead an effective medical team. Put the Soldiers First: True leadership is defined by the philosophy of being "for the boys," meaning the mission and the welfare of the troops always take priority over personal career advancement. A leader's legacy is found in the professional development and care they provide to the young soldiers under their charge.   Episode Keywords military medicine podcast, 75th Ranger Regiment, Army medic, combat medic, special operations medicine, SOCM, physician assistant, Army IPAP, military leadership, Ranger medic training, healthcare careers, military education, veteran stories, battlefield medicine, emergency medicine, military officer, enlisted to officer, 68W, medic training, Army Ranger stories, pre-hospital care, trauma medicine, medical simulation, IPAP application, Ranger Regiment medicine, medical student, clinical rotations Hashtags #rangers, #militarymedicine, #medic, #specialoperations, #physicianassistant, #veteran, #SOF, #leadership   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

Meeting resistance (from others and within ourselves) with curiosity is your career superpower. My guest Dan Tocchini deep dives into what resistance is really telling you and how to leverage it to build teams that produce creative solutions. Every interaction is a design challenge to create psychological safety - get to the why with each team member. We are hardwired with two mandates: stay alive and conserve energy. This is translated to us as looking good, feeling good, being right and staying in control. When we don't have any of these factors, we go into resistance. Criticism, contempt, stonewalling or defensiveness are the ways we protect ourselves from perceived threats. Envy and competition show up when an individual feels threatened by th excellence of others. Creativity is about having an opinion. Design is about refining your field of options. All new possibility presents itself as a threat at first, so you have to release attachment to those opinions. Preparing others to lead and succession planning are signs of a healthy work culture where excellence is celebrated not feared.

Send us a textWhat were the major leadership challenges and transformations that defined 2025? In this episode, hosts Stacey Caster & Tracy-Ann Palmer give their year in review.Organizations increasingly adopted AI (approximately 78% of businesses implemented AI in some capacity), however, only a few restructured workflows to fully leverage this powerful tool. Throughout the conversation, Stacey and Tracy emphasize leadership agility in managing employee and manager engagement, which sank to new lows, and stress the importance of value-driven leadership. They highlight how cybersecurity threats and hybrid work dynamics pose fresh challenges and opportunities for leaders in maintaining productivity and engagement.Key Takeaways:Vision and Systems Integration: Effective leaders must seamlessly integrate vision, systems, and people to navigate economic and technological shifts.AI Implementation: While 78% of organizations are using AI, only 15% have made comprehensive workflow changes to fully utilize its potential.Manager Engagement Crisis: With manager engagement dropping below 30%, sustaining high productivity requires regular check-ins and recognition.Cybersecurity as ESG: As ransomware incidents double, cyber resilience becomes just as essential as sustainability metrics.Future Predictions: 2026 may herald a focus on empathetic leadership, AI as a team player, and the realignment of financial accountability and productivity metrics.Notable Quotes:*   "Real leaders who created value didn't ask, 'Where can we use AI?' What they asked was, 'Where are we wasting human capacity?'"*   "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you."*   "Engagement recovery depends on equipping leaders to lead with empathy and edge."*   "Leadership isn't glamorous. It's truly gritty… Leaders had to grind through it, and they are better for it."*   "Clarity is a form of kindness... Clear intent changes everything."http://leadershipmomentspodcast.comAll episodes and guest requests can be found at:www.leadershipmomentspodcast.comFollow Stacey Caster on Instagram @staceycaster_Follow Tracy-Ann Palmer on Instagram @tracy_ann_palmer

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with journalist Emily Schrader to unpack the growing ideological fracture inside the American right over Israel, Gaza, and US foreign aid.Schrader explains how debates over Israel have become the new battleground from Megyn Kelly to JD Vance, Dave Smith, and the rising “groyper” movement. She explores how online algorithms, anti-establishment anger, and a resurgence of antisemitic tropes are reshaping right-wing politics in ways no one seems able to control.We examine the clash between “America First” isolationists and traditional pro-Israel conservatives, the spread of dual loyalty rhetoric and AIPAC narratives, and why younger conservatives are being pulled toward extremist figures like Nick Fuentes. Schrader also sets out why Israel's struggle with Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah matters directly to American security, and how states like Qatar and Iran stand to benefit when the American right turns against Israel.This episode looks at the new conservative realignment, the rise of groyper ideology, the political implications for JD Vance, and what this shift means for the future direction of the American right.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:10 Israel as a Dividing Line on the American Right 29:59 Criticism of American Right's Stance on Israel 36:50 The Role of Trump and the American Right43:38 The International Plan for Gaza53:31 The Role of the UN and British Foreign Policy 56:42 The Epstein Files 1:05:28 Suppression of Protests in Iran1:15:17 Economic and Leadership Challenges in Iran1:18:04 Closing Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

In Melissa and Clay's live recorded interview at ʻImiloa Center in Hilo, they talk with Cheyenne Hiapo Perry of the Mauna Kea Watershed Alliance and former state Forestry and Wildlife Administrator Lisa Hadway Spain about their respective leadership experiences in conservation. Each speaks to their early fascination with the marine world, while coming to the professional world of land conservation in very different ways–for Lisa, it was studying entomology at University of Hawai'i (UH) at Mānoa, while for Cheyenne he came to UH Hilo's Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Studies after a military career abroad. Both Lisa and Cheyenne speak to the managerial challenges of dealing with difficult people, handling politics and marshalling stewardship resources during difficult financial downturns–and ultimately how it takes grit and determination to see things through.
