Podcasts about leadership group

It's easy to remember Annie for its catchy tunes and iconic optimism. But what if we told you this classic musical also offers a surprising amount of insight into our education system? In our latest episode of the Better Learning Podcast, we take a fresh look at the 1982 film adaptation of Annie through the eyes of school designers and changemakers. From the harsh institutional feel of Miss Hannigan's orphanage to Daddy Warbucks's transformative environment where Annie's potential flourishes, the movie mirrors a central truth we see in schools every day: the physical and emotional environment matters. We break down key scenes like the group routines, the classroom-like discipline, and the contrasting settings Annie experiences to explore how learning environments shape behavior, engagement, and opportunity. Whether you're an educator, school leader, architect, or just a fan of classic cinema, this conversation is a reminder that when we create spaces and systems built on care, flexibility, and belief in kids' potential, anything, even the impossible, becomes possible.   Takeaways: The stark contrast between the cold, institutional orphanage and the warm, opportunity-filled mansion mirrors how learning environments affect student mindset, behavior, and engagement. Just like Annie, students thrive in spaces where they feel valued and safe. Miss Hannigan's rigid, top-down approach reflects outdated models of control in education. In contrast, the trust and autonomy Annie gains in Warbucks's world show how empowerment fosters confidence, creativity, and curiosity—traits every modern classroom should support. Annie's story reminds us that students often just need one adult to believe in them. Teachers, principals, and support staff can play this vital role—especially for students facing adversity.     About Olivia Graf: As the design visionary and thought leader responsible for conceptualizing innovative learning environments at A4E, Olivia leads the practice in planning, programming and the overall design direction of the firm through an interactive and collaborative process. She believes that outstanding projects begin with a clear concept and should balance aesthetics with curriculum-based innovations to create expressive and functional 21st century educational environments that feature hands-on/ minds-on maker spaces, transdisciplinary settings, and project-based learning. Her commitment and involvement extend through every phase of the design process. Olivia is also on the Leadership Group of the American Institute of Architects' Committee on Architecture for Education (AIA-CAE) and is a frequent speaker at education-focused conferences, including the California STEAM Symposium, California School Business Expo (CASBO), EDspaces, NSTA, and AIA-CAE.   Learn More About Olivia Graf: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivia-graf-7a0a8065/   Learn More About Architecture for Education (A4E): Website: https://architecture4e.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/architecture-for-education-incorporated/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Architecture4e/         Connect with host, Carla Cummins: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carla-cummins-01449659/   Connect with co-host, Matt Rogers: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-rogers-profile/   Learn More About Kay-Twelve: Website: https://kay-twelve.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kay-twelve-com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kay_twelve/       Episode 242 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

Food is one of the essential things humans need to live. With high-quality and safe food, you can never go wrong in doing a food business. However, with challenges such as inflation, companies cut the cost of their expenses, impacting the quality of their food. And if the product does not make consumers happy, they won't buy it, and the sales will decrease. Therefore, finding the right balance of the cost without impacting the quality is the key. No matter what happens, prioritize the joy of the people consuming your products. Bryan Armentrout is the founder of The Food Leadership Group, a firm specializing in helping food companies deliver safe and high-quality food products. Bryan is also the author of the book “The New Manager Mindset: How to Master the Four Secrets of Leadership that College Doesn't Teach You.” Today, Bryan will talk about the importance of maintaining the quality of the products, ensuring safety in food, the problems food companies face today, the potential of artificial intelligence in the food industry, and more.

Your customers are not merely purchasing your products or services. They're buying into your brand's story and its purpose. This is where the power of storytelling comes into play. Karen Eber of Eber Leadership Group joins us to discuss the profound impact of storytelling on customer engagement, relationships, and the long-term success of your business.About Karen Eber:Karen Eber is a thought leader, leadership consultant, author, keynote speaker, and, above all, an exceptional storyteller. She's currently serving as the CEO and Chief Storyteller at Eber Leadership Group, a consulting group helping companies build leaders, teams, and culture through the power of storytelling.Karen's collaborated with some big names in the corporate world, such as General Electric, Facebook, Kraft Heinz, Kate Spade, and Microsoft. In addition, she has served as a guest lecturer at esteemed institutions, including the London School of Business, MIT, and Stanford. Her Ted Talk ‘How your brain responds to stories & why they are critical for Leaders' has almost 2 million views and counting. On top of that, Karen has a new exciting project going on -  her book "The Perfect Story: How to Tell Stories That Inform, Influence, and Inspire" that just came out! Episode highlights: When it comes to the power of storytelling, there's a romanticized notion among entrepreneurs of having a special origin story for your business. However, the reality is often totally different. There's never only one story but a series of specific moments in your customers' lives that connect them with your business. So, it's essential to address their main concerns and pain points so that your narrative resonates deeply with them and eventually engages them to engage with your company. (05:58) To leverage the power of storytelling in business, go beyond your origin story. Instead, tell your customer's story, focus on their pain points, and solve their burning issues, one story at a time. This will help you build a strong connection with your audience, ultimately creating a loyal customer base, which is crucial to your overall success. (07:32)  What matters most in storytelling for business is that you continuously dial into your audience's evolving needs and aspirations. You can use social media, ChatGPT, or direct interactions to keep up with their pain points. This will give you a good insight into their actions and motivations so that you craft narratives that truly resonate with them. (12:21) When crafting your brand's narrative, start by getting a broad understanding of your audience before narrowing it down to specific interests. This approach will allow you to understand them better and also determine how your business can solve their issues. In the long run, it'll help you create a relatable brand story and build lasting relationships with your customers. (14:13) Storytelling isn't a one-off tool or a quick fix. It's a skill and resource to work on consistently and systematically throughout your entrepreneurial journey. It helps you create magnetic stories that draw people in and connect with them on a deeper level. This makes them more than just customers but loyal advocates of your business. (17:48) Focus on the main priority and big-picture stuff when crafting your brand story. But also remember that storytelling is flexible, so be free to drill down on your stories as time goes by to refine your approach. This lets you engage with your audience in real time and attune to their ever-evolving needs. (19:30) Karen's best advice for entrepreneurs:“That's why storytelling is so key for as an entrepreneur. You have these opportunities to just connect to all of these thoughts, fears, hopes, aspirations, and that's where you are grabbing people. And you know you're doing it well when people say, ‘I feel like you wrote that just for me.'” (09:13)Connect with Karen:  LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Resources Mentioned: Karen's Ted Talk about why stories are crucial for leaders The Perfect Story: How to Tell Stories that Inform, Influence, and Inspire Karen Eber Website Follow Beyond 8 Figures: Linkedin Twitter Website

This week's incredible guest – Mike Ettore – knows the way, and shows the way. Being the exceptional leader that he is, Mike became the youngest Drill Instructor in the Marine Corps at the age of 20. There's not a personal or professional challenge he can't overcome. Mike's effective combat leadership style resulted in numerous awards and decorations during his career, including the Bronze Star Medal for Valor (with Gold Star denoting 2nd award) and the Combat Action Ribbon (with two Gold Stars denoting 2nd and 3rd awards). These days, his purpose is to teach, coach, and help leaders develop - while he's alive and after he's gone. In this episode you will hear: I graduated from my first recruit platoon when I was 20. The Marine Corps trusted me and I tried very hard to live up to that trust. I spent my whole career trying to live up to the legacy of the Marines in World War I. If there's something the Marine Corps does well is it teaches and honors its history and traditions. We were considered by the battalion commander, to be the strongest lieutenant/staff sergeant team in the battalion. It's all about trust I was more excited about being an equally good leader in business as I was in the Marine Corps. Pre 9-11, I was dragging an AR-15 in a case through the airport. I was a C-level officer in charge of most of the back office of the non-sales function for a billion-dollar company, with no expertise in any of it. I wasn't really sure how to save a file. I teach and coach senior executives in the art & science of leadership. I'm 65 years old and have unlimited energy. I just love it. At 65 years old, with over 45 years of teaching leadership, I still learn something every week. I ask myself: ”How in the hell have I gone this long and never heard that?” I am vain enough that to think that 25, 50, 80 years from now - if somebody picks my book up,  the Iwo Jima lessons, the Grenada lessons, and the business lesson I've learned, just might help out my great, great-grandson or daughter, who never met me. [In life] I was mostly right, somewhat wrong, or completely full of shit [Conversation with son] just because it comes out of my mouth doesn't automatically mean that it's bullshit. As you get older, you're gonna find yourself becoming me. Dale Carnegie: “A man who dies rich dies disgraced.” I'm never gonna have Andrew Carnegie money, but I've got a laptop and a thumb drive. Everything that's up here [in my head] is gonna be out.
