Podcasts about leadership roles

ITP - 140 A Liverpool-born educator who once resisted teaching ends up saying yes to South Korea—and never looks back. Ken Bence traces an 18+ year arc from public-school TEFL to PGCE, then into a fast-growing bilingual school in Shanghai where rapid expansion pulled him into hiring, standards alignment, and early leadership. Seeking the IB bridge, he lands in Kuwait and grows into K–12 instructional coaching with the help of strong mentors, then tackles leadership fairs, multiple offers, and a vice head role that drops him back into China just as COVID reshapes borders and daily life. The journey continues through Shenzhen and Chengdu, a doctorate alongside principal work, and a brief interim senior leadership post in Budapest—plus practical rituals that make each new country feel like home: spices, quality bedding, and a folder of notes that keeps the purpose front and center.(00:00) Introduction to Ken Bence and His Journey(02:35) Cultural Shock and First Impressions in South Korea(06:53) Transitioning to Leadership Roles in Education(12:40) Exploring New Opportunities in Kuwait(17:37) Navigating Job Fairs and Networking in International Teaching(22:48) Navigating Career Pathways in Education(24:31) Midway-Contact Break(27:06) Cultural Shifts: Returning to China During COVID(29:59) Transitioning to Chengdu: New Challenges and Opportunities(32:55) Career Baby Steps: Progressing Through Education Roles(34:19) New Beginnings: Moving to Budapest(36:20) Preparing for Change: Leaving Budapest(40:29) The Emotional Journey of Teaching AbroadThe International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

Federal Chief Information Officer Greg Barbaccia will be adding two new titles — at least temporarily — to his work in government. The General Services Administration announced Thursday that Barbaccia will join the agency as the acting director of Technology Transformation Services. He'll be replacing Thomas Shedd, one of the few officials left at the agency who helped carry out the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's cost-cutting initiative last year. Shedd will remain at the agency as its senior advisor for fraud prevention, which the GSA said is “an area of increasing importance for the agency and the administration.” The federal CIO was also tapped as senior advisor to the GSA administrator, the agency said. In this role, advising former privacy equity executive Edward Forst, Barbaccia will focus on “emerging technologies, best practices in digital delivery, and cross-government collaboration.” The Pentagon will adhere to existing laws and regulations associated with surveillance, security and democratic processes as it fast-tracks the military's frontier AI adoption, but it won't permit companies supplying the technology to determine its rules for operation, Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael told DefenseScoop. His comments come as the Defense Department is locked in a high-stakes dispute with Anthropic about the U.S. military's use of the startup's Claude AI model in real-world operations. During a meeting with a small group of reporters on the sidelines of the annual Microelectronics Commons summit Thursday, Michael provided updates on the department's GenAI.mil rollout and pushed for the ethics-related rift between the Pentagon and Anthropic to be resolved. “I believe and hope that they will ‘cross the Rubicon' and say, ‘This is common sense. The military has certain use cases. There are laws and regulations that govern how those use cases can be done. We're willing to comply with them,'” he said.

“Strength becomes a cage when you forget you're allowed to set it down.”— Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. If you are the one who always has it together, this conversation is going to feel uncomfortably accurate. If you are a 6- or 7-figure CEO who is calm under pressure, dependable in crisis, composed when everyone else spirals, and secretly exhausted from carrying it all, lean in. We're talking about high-performing leaders, emotional suppression in leadership, nervous system bracing, performance-based identity, and the quiet cost of always being the strong one. This episode names what happens when professionalism turns into self-containment, when leadership culture rewards composure over honesty, and when your body starts holding receipts for the strength you never put down. Here's the truth: always having it all together requires chronic self-containment, and chronic self-containment eventually turns into suppression. Your body does not interpret that as leadership. It interprets it as bracing. And over time, bracing becomes tension, tension becomes disconnection, and disconnection becomes distance from yourself. You'll walk away with language for something you've normalized for years. You'll understand the difference between performance and stability, why identity fused with responsibility makes rest feel unsafe, and how your wiring as a Performer, Producer, Pathmaker, Powerhouse, or Prophet shapes how this shows up for you. Most importantly, you'll realize you are not broken. You are patterned. And patterns can be shifted.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when leadership strength has become self-containment ✔ How to differentiate performance from true internal stability ✔ How to begin rebuilding connection with yourself without abandoning responsibility ✔And so much more This episode is a call to the strong friend, the dependable CEO, the one everyone leans on and no one checks on. It's for leaders who confuse performance with stability and who have slowly fused their identity with being the one who never falls apart. What stands out about this conversation is that it does not attack your strength. It reframes it. And then it asks you to count the cost. This is your invitation to pause the performance long enough to feel what's actually happening inside of you. To stop asking “What's required of me?” and start asking “How am I actually doing?” If rest feels complicated, if vulnerability feels risky, and if letting support in feels foreign, this episode is for you.

Do I feel safe letting people see me uncertain or tired? Where in my body do I feel bracing, even during rest? Who checks on me without needing something from me?

Leading can feel heavy. Today executives are under more pressure than ever. If you've ever thought "this is harder than I expected" or "I'm not sure I even want this anymore," you're far from alone. Recent studies show that 70% of C-suite executives are seriously considering leaving their roles for the sake of their well-being, and more than half are expected to exit within two years.Even more telling: younger employees increasingly don't aspire to leadership positions at all. They see those roles as too stressful, too political, with not enough payoff.  They seek meaning over money.Find the full show notes at:https://workmatters.com/Leadership-Role-Feeling-Heavy-You-Have-Options

What happens when danger comes from where you least expect it? Bart Womack dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving the United States Army, rising to the highest enlisted ranks and leading soldiers in combat, training, and some of the most sacred roles in military service. But one moment forever changed his understanding of trust, leadership, and survival when he became a firsthand survivor of a deadly insider attack carried out by a fellow American soldier. This episode explores the psychological impact of betrayal, the long road to healing after trauma, and how Bart transformed one of the darkest moments of his life into a mission focused on prevention, awareness, and leadership. His story is not just about military service — it's about resilience, responsibility, and choosing purpose after devastation. Guest Bio Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Bart E. Womack served over 29 years in the United States Army, holding elite roles including Drill Sergeant, Ranger Instructor, and Sergeant of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A two-time combat veteran, Bart retired after serving as both Commandant of the 101st Airborne Division Noncommissioned Officers Academy and Command Sergeant Major of the 101st Airborne Division. Following his military career, Bart transitioned into film, consulting, and veteran advocacy, working in Hollywood as a military technical advisor and supporting veterans through education and mentorship. He is the author of Embedded Enemy, which recounts his survival of a deadly insider attack, and he now serves as a speaker and security consultant focused on mitigating insider threats and active shooter incidents.

Ep 139 - Hosts JP Mint and Greg Lemoine reconnect with longtime international educator and MYP middle school principal Chris Irvin, whose 20+ year journey spans Canada, Venezuela and China. Chris shares how he built a sustainable international teaching career—starting in a small Venezuelan school, transitioning into leadership, and eventually moving into MYP and IB continuum leadership at a large international school in Shenzhen. The conversation dives into international school hiring, what administrators really look for beyond credentials, how schools evaluate “right fit” and the elusive “plus one” candidates bring to a community, and why IB and MYP experience is not always required to get hired. Listeners also hear candid stories about local vs expat contracts, raising Third Culture Kids, language learning abroad, safety and independence for teens overseas, and memorable life moments—from power blackouts and police encounters in Venezuela to building a new life in China. Packed with practical advice, leadership insight, and real-world experience, this episode is essential listening for teachers, aspiring leaders, and anyone navigating international education, MYP schools, and long-term life abroad.Chapters[00:00] Intro[02:16] Teaching Journey Begins[05:08] Transitioning to International Teaching[08:18] Challenges of Teaching Abroad[11:14] Navigating Local Contracts[14:11] Leadership Roles and Responsibilities[17:21] Future Aspirations and Changes[19:50] Navigating International Education Choices[27:20] Life as Empty Nesters[35:15]  MidShow [36:46] Social Life and Community Engagement[43:01] Reflections on Family and Future Plans[43:49] Navigating Family Dynamics and Career Choices[46:07] Reflections on Friendship and Shared Experiences[46:34] The Anchor Story: A Memorable Adventure[50:53] Cherishing Relationships and Cultural Connections[52:14] Returning to Roots: Visits to Venezuela[54:59] The Importance of Well-Rounded Education[57:51] Finding the Right Fit in International Education[01:01:34] The Evolving Needs of Schools and Candidates[01:07:22] Navigating International Baccalaureate Schools[01:09:08] Hiring Practices in IB Schools[01:11:55] Hope for Non-IB Experienced Teachers-more information-The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

A senior leader asked how to support a talented woman who's quiet in meetings and doesn't look like a 'traditional' leader. We break down a simple three-step framework: the reality check (does she actually want the role?), finding her leadership style (there's more than one way to lead, thank god), and creating low-stakes practice opportunities. Whether you're supporting someone or wondering if you need to act like a guy (ahem, no), this one's for you.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Martin Dubin, psychologist, former CEO, executive coach, and author of Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader. Marty brings a rare combination of clinical insight and real-world leadership experience to a topic that affects every project manager and frontline leader: the blindspots that quietly shape our behavior, decisions, and impact. Together, the discussion explores how motives often drive our actions without us realizing it, why strengths can become liabilities when overused, and how emotion acts as one of the most powerful and least discussed forces in leadership. Marty explains his layered model of blindspots, including identity, motive, traits, emotion, and behavior, and shows how leaders can build awareness without trying to "fix" who they are. You will also hear practical guidance on creating a simple change plan that actually sticks, using small behavioral tweaks, prompts, and accountability rather than dramatic personal transformation. The conversation closes with thoughtful examples of how blindspotting can improve not only leadership at work, but relationships at home as well. If you want practical insight into leading with greater self-awareness, emotional range, and intentional growth, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The hardest part of leadership is not managing others. It's managing ourselves." "Your strengths work for you most of the time, which is why it's so hard to see when they start working against you." "You know, whatever it is, it's usually invisible to us until someone or something forces it into view." "Now, if you put the modifier TOO in front of it, what happens when you're TOO confident? What happens when you're TOO organized? What happens when you're TOO creative?" "What do they tell you? You are too...." "Motives constrict under stress, and that's often when blindspots do the most damage." "Traits don't need to be changed. They need to be regulated." "Emotion is one of the most powerful tools leaders have, whether they use it intentionally or not." "Real change comes from small behavioral tweaks, not personality transformation."

Welcome to our new research on the Frontline Workforce. In this introductory podcast I explain the importance and complexities of these jobs, and why the people in these roles take on enormous responsibilities in our companies and our economy. More than 70% of US workers are employed in frontline roles, generating more than $6 Trillion in wages and value. While many business and HR leaders support the frontline, our research points out that the issues are far more complex than you may realize. In this podcast I detail some of these important management topics and I also describe how the HR Technology market has struggled to meet their needs. Then I discuss UKG, the (Ultimate Kronos Group), the $5 Billion software company dedicated to this space and give you some insights on their pioneering and unique solutions. No matter what you do as a leader, HR professional, or manager, you likely know how critical our frontline workforce has become. Today frontline jobs in healthcare, transportation, construction, energy, airlines, and entertainment are the fastest growing segment of the workforce and also the roles least impacted negatively by AI. In fact AI is going to make these jobs even better. I hope you enjoy the discussion: stay tuned for a detailed article describing some of the frontline-work innovations recently announced by UKG and more on our research roadmap. If you would like to share your innovative solutions for frontline work, please contact us.

As a leader, the more you show your human side and reach out to others for help, the stronger the chance that the people around you will start to do the same. There are plenty of leadership lessons for early-career faculty and beyond in this week's Faculty Factory Podcast interview, just in time for the holidays, with our new friend Nicole Jarrett, MD, FACS. We hear about her journey and the transition from faculty member to a formal leadership role as Division Chief. Dr. Jarrett serves as Division Chief of Hand Surgery in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She is also an Assistant Professor and the Hand Surgery Fellowship Director at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The confidence to ask questions is an important sign of a confident leader. We all have days when we need help, and displaying the confidence to ask questions is essential. "It's okay to ask for help. We're all going to find ourselves in situations where we feel overwhelmed or where things aren't going right, and we need support,” she said. Midway through the discussion, Dr. Jarrett talks about the art of purposeful socializing. It's crucial to allocate time for social functions in our lines of work, especially in leadership roles, and taking a very strategic and efficient approach to how we engage in these functions pays dividends. It can also save time. “It's not all fun at these parties; you have a job to do. I'm very glad someone gave me that lesson, and I'm happy to pass it along to my faculty,” Dr. Jarrett discussed.

Dolphins DT Zach Sieler joins the show to talk about stepping into a leadership role this season, mentoring Miami's young defensive linemen and helping guide the unit through a dramatic turnaround after the team's 1–6 start. He breaks down what's fueling the resurgence, praises Jordyn Brooks' standout play, and emphasizes the mentality inside the locker room — “we all play hard for each other.”

Whether you refer to it as “imposter syndrome” or the “imposter phenomenon,” one thing is abundantly clear: you are not alone when it comes to dealing with it as a professional in academic medicine. This week on the Faculty Factory Podcast, we are blending together two incredible interviews from our archives that dissect this phenomenon with the precision and evidence-based arguments we cherish here on our podcast for a very special “best of” episode. First up, we hear from Cynthia Rand, PhD, who discusses imposter syndrome and how it can impact leadership roles in academia, including the tendency for individuals to make dispositional attributions to others and situational attributions to ourselves—which can exacerbate feelings of being an imposter. Next up, it's Donna L. Vogel, MD, PhD, who joined the Faculty Factory to share timeless advice on dealing with imposter syndrome, centered around her succinct takeaways for overcoming it over the long term as a faculty member. Both interviews we've clipped for this “best of” broadcast can help faculty members (especially those who are transitioning into a new role) and this advice is applicable to overcoming imposter syndrome in any environment.

Dr. Annie Koempel is an anthropologist on the research team of the Lexington-based American Board of Family Medicine.

The downstream effect is that this lack can result in poorer health care.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In this quick, yet critical episode, Tammy J. Bond tackles a fundamental leadership challenge: ensuring you have the right people in the right seats on your organizational "bus". Prompted by a leader struggling with under-delivery (not under-performance), Tammy challenges the common impulse to start with people. Instead, she provides a strategic framework to audit your organization, starting with the needs of the business before assessing the talent you have. This episode is imperative for leaders planning their success for the upcoming year and looking to replace disfunction with intentional structure. Key Leadership Insights: The Performance Gap: If team members are doing "solid work" but lacking creativity or "anything extra," the problem likely isn't the person's effort—it's the position's fit or a lack of clarity from the leader. The Strategic Bus Audit: Don't start with the Who (people). Start with the What (the seats/positions needed) to achieve your goals. What: Define the positions, expectations, and goals required for the next level of growth. How: Determine the model or required competencies for success in those seats. Who: Then look at your team members to see who possesses the qualities and qualifications to fill the defined seats. Hope is Not a Strategy: Relying on the hope that someone will "figure it out" or move on is like "throwing a dart blindfolded." Action is required to align people with position expectations. Beyond the Resume: Many leaders hire based on the resume, not the heart or true organizational need. Hiring for impressive qualifications without clearly defining the position leads to mismatched talent. Actionable Tools & Strategic Questions: Audit Your Team's Energy: Use the Working Genius Model (by Patrick Lencioni), or similar tools, to discover what parts of the job give your team members energy versus what leaves them feeling frustrated. Align their roles to maximize energy and momentum. Know Their Place on the Bus: Ask your team members what they want more of, what they want less of, and what truly lights them up about their job. The Avoidance Trap: If you're avoiding the conversation, you're wearing the avoidant behavior hat. You must have the conversation to clarify how the individual can win at their current position. Leader, lead yourself well first. Get your expectations clear. Be intentional about taking your organizational "bus" apart and putting it back together based on the needs of the growth model, not the people you currently have. You might discover your bus should become a spaceship! (Discover Derek Gorse's artwork - spaceman art reference from episode) What other bold conversations would you like to know how to navigate?

In this episode, I dive into one of the most common challenges ambitious parents face: neglecting their own health while climbing the career ladder. We'll explore why so many working professionals and parents in leadership roles sacrifice their well-being in pursuit of success, and how that mindset often backfires. You'll learn why putting your health first isn't selfish, it's strategic, and how simple, sustainable habits can make you a stronger leader, parent, and professional. I also share actionable strategies you can start today, like reframing health as an asset, ditching the all-or-nothing mindset, and using your business skills to create better systems for your personal wellness. If you've ever told yourself “I'll focus on my health when things slow down,” this episode is your reminder that health is how you get there, not what comes after. ---------- Learn about 1-on-1 online fitness coaching » https://chrisgatesfitness.com/coaching/

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanAI isn't just coming for entry-level jobs—it's coming for the boardroom.In this episode, Pete Gilfillan dives deep into a question most corporate executives haven't fully faced yet: Could AI replace your job? With rapid advances in automation, data-driven decision-making, and AI leadership tools, even high-level roles are now at risk. Pete breaks down 8 reasons why senior-level executives aren't immune—and why it's time to have a Plan B.In this episode, Pete discusses:Routine Task AutomationAI tools like RPA (Robotic Process Automation) are now handling scheduling, spreadsheet management, and data tracking—tasks many executives touch daily.Cost Efficiency PressuresWith AI reducing labor costs and improving productivity, companies are downsizing—even at the top—to stay competitive.AI Decision-Making CapabilitiesNo longer just a data assistant, AI can now interpret massive datasets and recommend strategic actions, traditionally an executive's job.Operational StreamliningFrom marketing to supply chains, AI is optimizing core functions. Companies need fewer leaders when tech handles execution.Productivity Gains Mean Fewer PeopleOne executive using AI can now produce what used to take a team of 10. That's good for efficiency—and bad for headcount.Industry-Wide DisruptionAI is transforming finance, manufacturing, and logistics. Roles are being consolidated, restructured, or eliminated entirely.AI in LeadershipYes, some companies are testing AI in high-level decision-making roles. It's not just assisting leadership—it's becoming leadership.Economic Downturn AccelerationRecessions and market shifts are speeding up AI adoption. As businesses cut costs, AI is replacing roles—especially expensive ones.Key Takeaways:AI isn't just automating tasks—it's replacing strategic roles.Executives are not immune—AI is already making leadership decisions in some companies.The time to prepare for disruption is now—not after a layoff.Diversifying your income and building a Plan B is critical.Franchising can offer control, income security, and a future outside of corporate uncertainty.“If you think AI won't affect your executive role—you're already behind. The best time to build your Plan B is before you need it.” — Pete GilfillanCONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Dr. Geoff Smart, founder of GH Smart and author of the bestselling book Who, to break down what separates successful hiring from costly mistakes. Geoff reveals the power of evidence-based assessments, why psych tests often fall short, and how intense curiosity—not stress—is the key to unlocking a candidate's true potential. From helping Fortune 500 companies select CEOs to coaching emerging leaders, Geoff shares stories, strategies, and myths about the hiring process—plus, why the "sell me this pen" test is just bad business.
