What happens when a nonprofit merger becomes more than a possibility—and starts to become a reality? In this episode, I sit down with Dave LeVan, CEO of Water for Good, to explore the leadership realities of nonprofit mergers and acquisitions in a funding-constrained environment.We discuss how leaders can navigate a merger without losing sight of the mission, culture, or people who make the organization effective—and why strong Board and leadership buy-in is essential to turning a merger from a theoretical conversation into a successful reality.It's a candid conversation about the opportunities, challenges, and leadership choices that can determine whether a nonprofit merger simply combines organizations—or creates something stronger.

Why do some technology rollouts transform a business while others struggle to gain traction?   Technology can transform how your business operates, but implementing the tool is only part of the battle. Whether you're introducing a new ERP, experimenting with AI, or scaling a family business, lasting change depends on the people using it.   In this episode, GenetiQ CEO Justin Lawless joins Bradley to unpack the leadership principles behind successfully navigating change. Drawing on three decades of experience and GenetiQ's expansion from Ireland into the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, Justin explains why technology projects are business-change projects and why the informal influencers inside your company can matter more than the names on the org chart.   In this episode you'll discover: How to identify the internal champions who can turn resistance into genuine organizational buy-in. Why leaders must transition from technical expertise toward people leadership as their organizations grow. How to embrace AI while protecting the human judgment, experience, and authenticity your customers value.   Hit play now to learn how to lead change, adopt technology more effectively, and build a smarter business without losing the human intelligence that makes it work.   Watch the Video   At Bradley Hartmann & Company, we help construction teams improve sales, leadership,  and communication by reducing miscommunication, strengthening teamwork, and bridging language gaps between English and Spanish speakers.

Why do so many change initiatives fail—even when the strategy makes sense? In this episode, Travis D. Hahler, author of Rethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change, explores how understanding the brain can help leaders create more effective, sustainable transformation.

In this episode of Dominate Your Day, I sit down with executive leader Juli Primeaux for a conversation about what leadership really looks like in today's fast-changing, distracted workplace. Juli shares what it means to lead through organizational change and uncertainty while staying grounded in who you are. We talk about the connection between CliftonStrengths, self-awareness, and authentic leadership, and why understanding your strengths can become a true "cheat code" for navigating tough decisions and leading people well. From practical strategies for managing stress to insightful lessons on leading across generations, this episode is full of wisdom every leader needs right now. And trust me, you'll want to hear Julie's unforgettable advice about "not loading bombs on planes." Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Your strengths are powerful but only when you understand how they show up under stress. Self-awareness helps leaders recognize both their superpowers and their blind spots. 2. Authenticity builds trust. Teams don't need perfect leaders; they need real leaders who communicate clearly, stay grounded, and model vulnerability. 3. Well-being isn't optional for leaders. Taking pauses, creating small wins, and intentionally refilling your bucket are essential for sustainable leadership. Episode Minutes: Minute 12: Developing a personal mission and connecting core values to leadership purpose Minute 17: The importance of self-care, taking pauses, and refill strategies Minute 31: Emotional recognition and self-regulation techniques for stress management Minute 39: Advice for leaders facing chaos and disconnection with their teams Links + Resources from This Episode: Connect with Juli Primeaux on LinkedIn Take the free 3-minute Authentic Imprint™ Assessment  Get a copy of Dana's book, The Internal Revolution: Lead Authentically and Build Your Personal Brand from Within Learn more about The Strengths Journal

Karen Tay built a peer-support program for women navigating workplace bullying and burnout, ran it through Princeton research, and found something a lot of managers don't expect: the problem usually isn't a lack of effort.

Leadership advisor and DEI expert Stacey Gordon returns to Leading Through Crisis to explain why diversity, equity, and inclusion should never be treated as a bolt-on "initiative," and why that mistake is exactly why so many companies have abandoned their DEI programs.  Stacey and host Céline Williams dig into why so many leaders struggle with flexibility and self-awareness, how communication breakdowns between managers and teams happen even when everyone has the best intentions, and why "inclusive leadership" is really just... good leadership.  They also unpack the biases quietly shaping hiring decisions, why leaders rarely get real feedback about how their teams actually experience them, and Stacey's free Leadership Reality Check quiz for anyone ready to find out the gap between how they think they lead and how their team sees them.  This conversation might just challenge how you think about communication, feedback, and what DEI actually means. — Stacey Gordon is a globally recognized keynote speaker, leadership advisor, and workplace culture strategist who helps organizations build inclusive, high-performing workplaces as they navigate today's evolving legal, social, and business landscape.  As the founder of Rework Work, Stacey partners with executive leaders, people managers, and HR and legal teams to strengthen talent systems, leadership capability, and workplace culture— relying on a foundation of legally sound, people-first approaches. Her work focuses on debiasing systems, developing inclusive leadership behaviors, and creating cultures of fairness, belonging, and accountability that benefit everyone.  Stacey is a frequent keynote speaker at HR, talent, and leadership conferences worldwide and has served as an adjunct professor at several universities. She is also a trusted voice in the broader business conversation, having provided subject matter expertise to Harvard Business Review, SHRM, Fast Company, Forbes, NPR, and BBC Radio.  She is the author of UNBIAS, a widely used resource for leaders globally, and the creator of the unconscious bias course on LinkedIn Learning, which was the #1 most-watched course on the platform in 2021, has been translated into multiple languages and has reached nearly two million learners worldwide.

Send us Fan MailAre you leading every person on your team the exact same way and wondering why it's stopped working? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Shriver and Suzie Bishop of the Center for Leadership Studies, co-authors of a new book applying the situational leadership model to today's fast-changing workplace. Sam brings 45+ years of research into this framework; Suzie leads product innovation at CLS after 15 years of turning research into real-world training. Together, we unpack why one-size-fits-all leadership breaks down during constant change, how the situational leadership model gives you a repeatable way to diagnose exactly what each person needs task by task, and why trust erodes the moment you skip that step. We also dig into Gallup's engagement data and why adaptability, not just intelligence, is becoming the defining leadership skill in the AI era. If you've ever felt like you're leading in the dark, this conversation hands you the lens to lead with clarity again.Books MentionedSituational Leadership®: The Model for Leading Others, Navigating Change, and Unlocking Performance by Sam Shriver and Suzie BishopManagement of Organizational Behavior by Paul HerseyConnect with Sam Shriver and Suzie Bishop on LinkedIn, explore their work at situational.com, and pick up their new book on the situational leadership model at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or your favorite retailer.I want to invite you to check out the Committed Mastermind, a community I help lead along with world-class leaders like JC and Karen Hite, Vinnie Fisher, and Jonathan Mast, plus incredible mentors like Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and many others.This is for entrepreneurs who want to build a thriving business without sacrificing their faith, their family, or their health.Check out the Committed Mastermind at https://committedmastermind.com/---- Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!  Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.Free 30-Minute Discovery Call:Ready to elevate your business?

Steve sits down with Cindy Cohn, former Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, for a conversation about values, leadership, change, and knowing when it is time to make room for what comes next.Cindy has spent decades fighting for digital rights, privacy, free speech, and a better internet for the people who use it. Her career is a powerful example of what it means to stay grounded in your values while remaining flexible enough to adapt as the world changes around you.Cindy also shares a deeply personal look at her decision to step away from her leadership role at EFF. Not because the mission stopped mattering, but because she knew it was time to create space for the next chapter.In this episode, you'll hear about:What it means to be “growth ready”Building a career around values instead of a fixed titleLeading through constant changeWhy change should not be treated as a solo sportHow to protect the work that gives you energyThe importance of listening across an organizationCindy's transition out of EFF and into what comes nextHer book, Privacy's Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital SurveillanceWhether you are navigating transition, leading through uncertainty, or trying to reconnect with the work that fuels you, Cindy's story offers a thoughtful reminder: staying true to your values does not mean staying still.Listen now and ask yourself: What part of your work gives you energy right now?About the Guest:Cindy Cohn is a digital rights attorney and longtime leader in the fight for privacy, free expression, and civil liberties online.She served as Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for a decade and spent 26 years helping shape the organization's work as the internet evolved—from early battles over encryption to today's questions around platform power, surveillance, and AI.Cindy is also the author of Privacy's Defender: My 30-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance (MIT Press).

What enables a political organization to maintain continuity, adapt to change, and pursue long-term goals across generations? Can long-term planning and leadership development help institutions navigate uncertainty more effectively? What lessons can other organizations draw from China's experience?

How can financial professionals become and remain effective leaders in a landscape that is rapidly evolving? In this episode of Managing your Practice, Dimensional host Stephen de Man welcomes Jack Swift, author of Level 7 Leadership: The Blueprint for the Human + Machine Era, to discuss the importance of human leadership amid the growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI). Stephen and Jack explore how traditional views of leadership may need to evolve alongside technological advancements. They discuss the importance of creating and adapting mental maps, why trust is essential for organizational agility and effective decision-making, and how coherence and clarity can enhance a leader's impact. The conversation also examines how AI is not eliminating the need for human leadership but instead raising the standard for the skills leaders must develop to succeed.

Most change initiatives don't fail because the plan is flawed. They fail because leaders confuse communication with conversation and then wonder why people feel anxious, resistant, or checked out. We sit down with returning guest Huw Thomas, author of Change Anything, to move beyond individual psychology and get practical about organizational change management that actually sticks.We dig into why “overcommunicate” often backfires, how one-way announcements create confusion, and what it looks like to replace broadcasting with dialogue. Resistance gets a full reframe: it's frequently a rational response to perceived loss of certainty, control, competence, identity, or status. We also talk about the real-world consequences of poorly led change, including psychosocial risk, and what care and dignity look like in high-stakes moments like reorganizations and redundancies.From there, we get tactical about building agency. When people feel coerced, they push back even if they agree with the logic. When they're invited to help shape the “how” within clear guardrails, they bring better ideas and real ownership. We also tackle change fatigue and change overload, focusing on change governance, sequencing, and why doing a few priorities exceptionally well beats running dozens of initiatives into gridlock. Finally, we land on the deeper truth behind transformation: it's habit change, not system change, and adoption improves when leaders design around real “day in the life” workflows and build a learning habit across teams.If this helps you lead with more clarity and humanity, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a review. What's one change you'll turn into a conversation this week?

You know something is wrong with your team. Maybe it's the missed deadlines that have become the norm. The low energy in meetings. The friction nobody's naming. The high performer who's gone quiet. Or just a general flatness — a team that's functional but nowhere near what you know it could be. In this episode of Leading Women in Tech, Toni Collis gives you the honest, practical framework for turning a struggling team around — including the part most leadership advice skips: the leader's own role in the system. What's covered: ➡️The four types of team struggle — and why getting the diagnosis right before you act is the most important thing you can do. The wrong solution applied with confidence makes things worse. ➡️The over-functioning trap — why managing around a problem signals to your whole team that the problem is acceptable, and what it's costing your best people right now ➡️Why your team is not where you are — the emotional and informational gap between you and your team, and why moving at your pace without accounting for theirs leaves people behind ➡️The three conversations you've been avoiding — performance, expectations, and recognition — and why the difference between a team that stays stuck and one that turns around is almost always the conversations the leader wasn't having ➡️How to retain your high performers when the team is struggling — because they're always the first to leave, and they always have options ➡️The honest question about your own leadership — and why understanding your role in the system is what makes the rest of this possible ➡️Where to start this week — three specific actions, not twenty Whether you've inherited a struggling team, watched one develop on your watch, or just know things need to change and aren't sure where to start — this episode gives you the framework.

What does leadership look like in moments of sustained uncertainty, high pressure, and constant change? In this episode of Leading Through Crisis, Céline Williams speaks with Iranian human rights advocate Zolal Habibi about what it means to lead with clarity, courage, and conviction, especially when the cost of staying true to your values is high. Drawing on her personal journey and decades of connection to Iran's evolving social and political landscape, Zolal reflects on the leadership principles that sustain individuals and movements through prolonged periods of challenge. From the importance of standing firmly in your values to the role of personal responsibility in shaping collective outcomes, this conversation explores how leaders can stay grounded when navigating complexity and uncertainty. Zolal shares perspectives on resilience, long-term thinking, and the power of purpose, alongside reflections on the role of women in leadership, the impact of lived values versus stated ideals, and how individuals can contribute meaningfully even in the face of overwhelming circumstances. Together, they unpack questions that resonate far beyond any one context: How do you lead when the path forward is unclear? What does it take to remain anchored in your principles under pressure? How can individuals create meaningful change, even in difficult environments? This episode is a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of leadership in times of crisis, offering insights for business owners, managers, and leaders navigating change in their own organizations and lives. — Zolal Habibi is an Iranian human rights activist and a leading voice for justice, democracy, and women's rights in Iran. She serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), where she works with policymakers, journalists, and international institutions to amplify the call for a free, secular, and democratic Iran.  For more than two decades, she has been a steadfast advocate for those silenced inside Iran—particularly women, youth, and political prisoners—bringing their stories to global platforms. Zolal's commitment to this cause is deeply personal. When she was just seven years old, her father, a respected writer and political dissident, was killed by the Iranian regime in the summer of 1988; a summer marked by the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran. This tragedy shaped her life's mission: to ensure that such crimes are neither forgotten nor repeated, and that the aspirations of the Iranian people for freedom and democracy are recognized worldwide.  Through her advocacy, media appearances, and international engagement, Zolal continues to champion the Iranian people's struggle.

Most organizations take their best performer, hand them a title, and call it a promotion. What they don't tell that person is that everything that made them great at their job is now working against them.
