Podcasts about learning leadership

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes back his friend Stuart Taylor, a PMO leader and PMI PMO Awards judge, author of Becoming the Project Manager. Most of us didn't grow up dreaming of leading projects. We drifted into the role, and then discovered it's far less about plans and methodologies than it is about people, pressure, and learning to lead while you yourself still feel unsure. Stuart shares the story behind the book, including the university project where he publicly chastised a teammate and the response from his dad that changed how he understood leadership. He and Andy dig into the real value and limits of PM certifications, why AI can help you communicate but can't replace the human part, the stakeholder questions younger Stuart was afraid to ask, what his mentor Wayne taught him about proximity and follow-through, and why a new sponsor has to be sold on your project rather than assumed into it. You'll also hear the 30-minute CV rule and the trouble it once caused him. If you're looking for an honest, human look at what it actually takes to become the project manager, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Well, now that you've reprimanded that person, you do realize you've got to go and pick them back up again?" "So going out into the world with this as my toolkit, and I thought it was a toolkit, but actually it turned out to be more like a life raft because I ended up clinging onto it without reasoning at an early point in my career." "There's an awful lot that falls between the processes, and that's what the early part of the book is really exploring." "I don't believe there's great value in repeatedly recycling the same learning over and over and over again. I think there's much greater value in taking that energy and going to learn something about your industry, the, actual industry that you're working in." "And also, I should add, you will have greater value to them by being there too, because you're the interesting change person in the room then, rather than one of another 200 change people walking around all talking about the same methodologies." "So be the person who is not avoiding hearing about challenges, but actively seeking them out, and cataloging them, and managing them." "Something else I've learned: they don't like you tiptoeing around them." "But if anybody's having to go into the office more frequently now, go and spend some of that time sitting with the people whose world you are changing." "But if your own leader, the person who's supposed to be championing you in the organization just doesn't get it, then you've got an impossible task on your hands." "When your sponsor goes or leaves and somebody else comes in and replaces them, don't just assume that, that because they've now been told they're gonna have to be the sponsor of your project, that they understand it and they can see the value in it." "Every project that you work on, the benefits, they are your accomplishments." "There is no point in being loyal to organizations. Be loyal to people."

Many people have never heard of Ryan Furby, yet they have likely experienced the impact of the work he does. After an international career with some of the world’s largest corporations, including FedEx, Philip Morris International, and Biogen, Ryan returned to Louisiana and quietly built a consulting practice that helps organizations navigate complex business challenges through strategic communications, public affairs, and reputation management. Today, as CEO of RAF Strategic Communications and Public Affairs, he advises companies while also giving generously of his time to Acadiana’s nonprofit and civic organizations. In this episode of Discover Lafayette, Ryan demystifies a profession that often operates behind the scenes. He explains how organizations earn, and sometimes lose, the public’s trust, why communications belong at the executive table, and how thoughtful leadership can determine whether a company thrives during moments of opportunity or crisis. As Ryan succinctly explains, “I’m in the trust business. I’m in the reputation business.“ Louisiana Roots, Global Experience Ryan’s career has taken him around the world, but Louisiana has always remained home. Born in Baton Rouge, raised in Mandeville, and educated at Loyola University New Orleans, Ryan grew up with deep family ties throughout South Louisiana. His mother’s family has roots in Lafayette stretching back generations, while his father’s family is from Alexandria. After nearly twenty years of pursuing increasingly demanding international leadership roles, Ryan found himself burned out. “I’d been chasing jobs and money and career all around the world for 20 years,” he recalls. “I was at a point where I was really burned out.” Initially, moving to Lafayette was intended to be temporary, a place where he and his wife could regroup while raising their two young children closer to family. “We’ll spend a year. See how it goes.” Eight years later, Lafayette has become home. That decision changed not only his family’s life, but the community that would eventually benefit from his leadership. Learning Leadership at FedEx Ryan credits much of his professional development to his years at FedEx, where he describes the company as “my training ground” and “my MBA.” Working inside one of the world’s largest transportation companies gave him unprecedented exposure to executive decision-making and corporate strategy. Few people influenced him more than FedEx founder Fred Smith. “I thought of him as a professor,” Ryan says. “Every time he spoke, I just absorbed all of that.” Smith’s military background shaped the culture of the company through a simple but powerful philosophy: “Shoot. Move. Communicate.” Ryan explains that the phrase represented more than a slogan. It embodied how organizations must continually adapt, execute, and communicate internally to remain successful. At FedEx, communications wasn’t an afterthought, it was part of executive leadership. Communications professionals sat alongside legal counsel, operations leaders, marketing executives, and division presidents, helping shape decisions before they became headlines. As Ryan explains, their role was often to become “the conscience of the organization,” helping leaders ask difficult questions: “If you mess up, how do you own it? How do you fix it? How do you prevent it from happening again?” Katrina: Helping New Orleans Recover One of Ryan’s defining professional experiences came in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. From FedEx’s corporate “war room,” he watched the devastation unfold while simultaneously helping coordinate logistics and charitable efforts to support New Orleans’ recovery. The experience was deeply personal. “I felt like New Orleans was my home,” he says. “Watching that and then knowing what my friends and family were experiencing felt very personal.” Among the recovery efforts he remains most proud of was helping the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas reopen. After Katrina, nearly every animal inside the aquarium died when life-support systems failed. The surviving penguins and two sea otters had been relocated to California while the facility rebuilt. When the aquarium asked FedEx for help bringing the animals home, Ryan immediately recognized the symbolic importance. “This is going to be big. This is a story.” FedEx ultimately chartered one of its own aircraft to transport the animals back to New Orleans, sponsored the exhibit, and helped organize a major reopening celebration nearly one year after the storm. “It was symbolic of what New Orleans needed,” Ryan reflects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUvQQr-obXU The story became a powerful reminder that communications is about far more than publicity; it is about helping communities recover, celebrate milestones, and restore hope. Reinvention on a Global Stage Ryan’s next chapter took him to Switzerland with Philip Morris International. To many, accepting a position with a tobacco company might seem surprising. Ryan explains that by the time he joined, the company’s leadership was investing heavily in research and development to transition smokers toward reduced-risk alternatives. His responsibility was helping one of the world’s most heavily regulated companies navigate communications in an increasingly digital world. Unlike traditional consumer brands, every communication had to operate within extraordinary legal constraints. “It was always trying to find a path through all of the barriers,” he says. Living overseas also transformed his family’s perspective. Ryan and his wife immersed their children in French-speaking schools, traveled extensively throughout Europe, and developed friendships with colleagues from across the globe, including Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, and Eastern Europe. Those experiences fundamentally changed how he views the world. “I tend to see things from both sides,” he says. “I give the other side the benefit of the doubt.” That balanced perspective continues to shape both his consulting practice and his civic leadership today. Choosing Lafayette When Ryan eventually returned to the United States through Biogen, he briefly considered relocating to Boston. Instead, he chose Lafayette. His reason was remarkably simple. Family. “I wanted them to know their family,” he says of his children. Equally important was his desire to become part of a genuine community. Living abroad had shown him what it meant to be welcomed professionally but never fully belong. Louisiana offered something different. “I wanted to be part of the people, part of the community.” Rather than simply living in Lafayette, Ryan intentionally sought opportunities to serve. That commitment eventually led him to board leadership with organizations including the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra and Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Louisiana, as well as service on the committee that selected the new president of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Building RAF Strategic Communications Ryan eventually founded RAF Strategic Communications and Public Affairs, naming the company after his initials, “RAF,” colleagues had called him throughout his FedEx career. Today, he helps organizations clarify strategy, improve communications, strengthen relationships with government and stakeholders, and successfully compete for major contracts. One example close to home involved Acadiana Waste Services. When the company prepared its proposal for Lafayette’s residential solid waste contract, Ryan brought years of experience responding to complex Request for Proposals. His advice was practical: “Answer the question. Get the score you need.” But beyond simply answering technical requirements, Ryan helped the locally owned company present itself with the polish and professionalism expected of much larger national competitors. “If you want to know how the big ones operate,” he says, “this is how they do it.” Today, he continues serving as a communications consultant for Acadiana Waste Services while helping the company build relationships throughout the community. And Ryan says, ” Just a side note, we have a monthly meeting with LCG and each month, it’s another month of no fines. To have no fines means you’ve collected every single route. If you miss something, you have 24 hours to fix it. No fines in this industry is unheard of. They are a great company and great people. I’m really fortunate to work with them.” Reputation Can Take Decades to Build—and Minutes to Lose One of the most fascinating portions of our conversation centered on reputation management. Ryan discussed recent corporate case studies ranging from Fender Guitars to BP’s Deepwater Horizon response, illustrating how quickly public trust can disappear. Quoting Warren Buffett, Ryan offered one of the interview’s most memorable observations: “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.” His work often involves helping organizations ask difficult questions before problems become public crises. “The best examples of what I do,” he explains, “never hit the papers because the issues have been handled properly before they were out there to ruin the reputation of the company.” It is a reminder that successful communication isn’t simply about responding well, it is about making wiser decisions from the beginning. Giving Back to Acadiana Despite an international résumé, Ryan speaks most enthusiastically about community service. His involvement with the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra reflects his belief that arts organizations help define the character of a community. He praises board chairman Robert Schacht for modernizing the organization while expanding educational programming, movie concerts, chamber performances, and outreach designed to welcome new audiences. “We’re trying to bring in education and students and have fun,” Ryan says. “I just think performing arts is so important for community.” That same philosophy guides his volunteer work across Acadiana. As he explains: “Work is just a piece of who I am.” “What I can give back is much more rewarding.” Listen to the Full Conversation Ryan Furby’s career has taken him from Louisiana to Switzerland, from global boardrooms to local nonprofit organizations, yet one lesson consistently emerges throughout our conversation: Businesses succeed not simply because they have great products, but because they earn trust. Whether advising Fortune 500 companies, helping a locally owned business compete for a transformational contract, or volunteering with organizations that enrich Acadiana, Ryan brings the same thoughtful approach to leadership: listening carefully, understanding multiple perspectives, and helping people achieve their best outcomes. His story is ultimately not just about communications. It’s about character, credibility, and the relationships that make communities and organizations stronger.

What if the success you spent three decades building disappeared overnight — and the hardest part wasn't the money, but knowing who you were without it? In this honest, unhurried episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Scott Proposki — photographer, entrepreneur, author, and business coach based in Boston, Massachusetts. For nearly three decades, Scott built one of the most recognisable event photography businesses in North America: 52 people, eight-figure revenue, and a client list that included National Geographic, the White House, Sports Illustrated, and the NFL. Then 2020 arrived, and almost overnight, it was gone. Scott and Cathleen explore what it really costs to stop being the craftsperson and become the CEO, why growing fast can quietly hollow out the thing you loved, how depression after business loss is a grief that doesn't get enough airtime, and what a single conversation with a coach unlocked in his next chapter. They also go deep on his ADHD diagnosis in his early fifties, how understanding it reshaped the way he works and leads, and why his current lifestyle business — intentionally small, deeply profitable, and accessible from the Swiss Alps — is more aligned with who he actually is than the empire ever was. This is a conversation that will ask you to pause before you hit grow again and sit with the question Cathleen raises at the very start: is the size of your business, your ambition, your pace — something you actually chose? Or did you just keep going because stopping felt like failure?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​   Episode Timeline:   00:00:00 The Cost of Becoming CEO 00:04:33 Introduction to Scott Proposki 00:07:02 The Blueberry Muffin Problem 00:12:42 Learning Leadership by Proximity 00:17:49 How You Show Up for the People You Lead 00:20:14 The Bigger Boat Trap 00:25:27 When COVID Took It All 00:29:24 Depression, Doubt, the Silence Underneath 00:34:02 The Conversation That Cracked Something Open 00:35:42 Life After the Empire 00:41:52 Helping Creators Build Profitable Businesses 00:44:50 Forty Levers, Not One Fix 00:48:19 The Compounding Power of Small Gains 00:55:11 ADHD, the Camera, the Superpower of Focus 01:04:25 The Five-Year Vision 01:09:22 One Step When You Feel Stuck​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​     Key Takeaway:   Becoming the CEO Means Leaving the Craft Behind: Scaling a business often means stepping away from the work that made you good in the first place. That shift needs to be a conscious choice, not something you drift into without noticing. Losing a Business Is a Grief Most People Don't Name: When the business disappeared, so did the identity, purpose, and daily rhythm built around it. Naming that loss for what it is makes rebuilding possible — pushing through without acknowledging it makes it harder. Profit Is a Strategy, Not a Side Effect: Most small business owners are busy without being profitable. Small improvements across multiple areas of a business compound quickly — and cost-cutting, unlike new revenue, goes straight to the bottom line. Own Your List Before the Platform Disappears: Social platforms can vanish or shut you out overnight. An organic email list built on consistent, genuine storytelling is one of the most durable assets a small business can hold. Choose Your Boat Size Before You Start Rowing: The most important question isn't how big you can grow — it's what size business supports the life you actually want. Answering that honestly before you scale can save years of chasing the wrong thing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​     About Scott Proposki:   Scott Proposki is a business coach, photographer, and author based in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Over nearly three decades, he built one of North America's leading event photography businesses — working with clients including National Geographic, the White House, Sports Illustrated, HBO, and Microsoft — before scaling to a team of 52. When COVID-19 effectively ended the events industry overnight, Scott lost the business he had spent his career building and spent the years that followed rebuilding with far greater intentionality. He is the author of multiple books including Camera Focus (2019) and Focus on the Profits, and the founder of the Camera Focus Method — a structured coaching framework that helps photographers and creative entrepreneurs build businesses that are genuinely profitable, not just busy.

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. In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead — Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health — to explore one of the most overlooked transitions in healthcare leadership: the shift from being an exceptional doer to becoming a leader others will actually follow. In this episode: Why the moment Matt stepped into his first nursing home administrator role cracked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about leadership The dangerous myth that new leaders walk in as "instant experts" — and how that belief causes their teams to start managing them Why the dopamine hit of checking things off a to-do list disappears in leadership, and what you have to build to replace it How to delegate without losing your mind — and why being crystal clear on outcomes matters more than anything else Why conflict is never a problem to be eliminated — it's information to be used This episode is for every high-performer who has stepped into a leadership role and felt the ground shift beneath them. You're not alone — and it's not a flaw. It's the beginning. www.YourHealth.Org

In this insightful and future-focused episode of the Animal Training Academy Podcast, Ryan Cartlidge is joined by two pioneers in applied behavior analysis and professional animal education: Dr. Susan Friedman and Rick Hester, as they introduce and explore their newest collaborative project, Zoo School. Dr. Susan Friedman brings decades of experience as a psychology professor, behavior analyst, and internationally respected educator whose work has profoundly shaped humane, evidence-based animal training across species. Rick Hester joins the conversation as a seasoned zoo professional, educator, and mentor whose career spans animal care, staff development, and leadership within zoological institutions. Together, Susan and Rick share how their complementary backgrounds converged to create Zoo School - a learning platform designed to elevate animal care through science, ethics, and effective teaching. Throughout the conversation, Susan and Rick reflect on the gaps they've observed in traditional animal-care education, particularly the need for deeper fluency in learning theory, behavior analysis, and instructional design. They discuss how Zoo School was built to support zoo and aquarium professionals not just in what to do, but in how to think - developing critical skills in observation, decision-making, and compassionate problem solving. Ryan, Susan, and Rick dive into the philosophy underpinning Zoo School, including the importance of clarity, kindness, and accountability in professional practice. They explore how well-designed education can improve animal welfare, empower caregivers, and foster healthier organizational cultures. Central to the discussion is the idea that behavior doesn't exist in isolation - it is shaped by environments, systems, and the contingencies we design for both animals and humans. Listeners will also hear candid reflections on mentorship, lifelong learning, and the responsibility educators carry when shaping the next generation of professionals. Susan and Rick share what excites them most about Zoo School's future, how it differs from conventional training programs, and why now is the right time for this kind of learning space to exist. This episode is a thoughtful invitation to rethink professional development in animal care - and a compelling reminder that when education is grounded in science, empathy, and intentional design, it has the power to create meaningful, lasting change for animals and the people who care for them.

In this episode Dr. Staci Saner, Dr. Ashley Shelton and Dr. Laura Weingartner from the Office of Professional & Educational Development discuss the concept of psychological safety and its essential role in learning, leadership, and healthcare. It unpacks what psychological safety truly means, why it impacts engagement and outcomes, and how leaders and educators can intentionally create environments where individuals feel comfortable speaking up, asking questions, and learning from mistakes. Through real-world examples, the conversation highlights how communication, vulnerability, and active listening build trust and support a culture of growth and continuous improvement.

Oh my...Fresh episode of #counselorsconnectionwithfabionvicksDelving into leadership and how to leverage it. Housekeeping and final thoughts on my leadership journey..

Dr. Vitz talks about where we learn our leadership and communication styles and what we can do to explore areas to improve. (Originally aired 09-09-2024)

We're going back to Episode 30 from January 2021, featuring Katie Anderson — author of Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn — and Isao Yoshino, the longtime Toyota leader whose career and lessons inspired her book. Episode page with video, transcript, and more It was such a privilege to talk with them then, and even more meaningful now, because I recently got to spend time with Mr. Yoshino in Japan last October during Katie's Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn experience. Seeing him there — humble, curious, and still passionate about developing others — really reinforced everything we talked about in that episode. Mr. Yoshino shared a story from early in his Toyota career, when a mistake on the shop floor could have led to punishment, but instead led to learning. His leaders didn't blame him — they worked with him to fix the system. That experience shaped how he led and coached for decades. Katie shared her own favorite mistake — a story about feedback early in her career that helped her realize the power of listening, asking questions, and helping others find their own answers. Together, we explored what it means to create a culture where people feel safe to learn, improve, and grow — the kind of culture that turns mistakes into progress.

Ready for a life boost that doesn't require another app, hack, or supplement?   Today we unpack why sleep is the hidden engine behind emotional stability, sharper decisions, and real learning, and how a few consistent habits can transform your days by fixing your nights.  We start with the brain, how chronic restriction (yes, even 1-2h a night) quietly erodes attention, working memory, processing speed, and reasoning. If you lead teams, negotiate deals, parent, or simply want to grow faster, “sleep on it” isn't a cliché; it's a strategy.  Then we get practical.  We lay out the core behaviors that reliably improve sleep quality.  Finally, we show you how to make these shifts stick with a simple habit loop: trigger, action, reward. Pick one change per week, set hard boundaries around your schedule, and anchor it to a personal why that matters more than late-night distractions.  This is a warm, candid guide for anyone who wants better focus, calmer emotions, and faster growth without grinding harder.  Subscribe for more science-backed tools, share this with someone who'll keep you accountable, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

What if the leadership frameworks we've relied on for decades are fundamentally broken for today's world? In this thought-provoking conversation, Pascal sits down with Jeffrey Rogers—his collaborator of nearly a decade—to explore how leaders can navigate sustained uncertainty and systematic disruption.Jeffrey, an expert in organizational learning and futures thinking, challenges the “Good to Great” era of one-size-fits-all leadership models. Instead, he advocates for meta-learning: the ability to learn how to learn, adapt frameworks contextually, and build organizations that can transform repeatedly. They dive deep into the tension between efficiency and experimentation, why the “middle horizon” (5-10 years) is so hard to envision, and how generative AI fits into organizational learning—spoiler: it's not the efficiency tool you think it is.Key Topics Covered:Why best practices are dead and what replaces them in high-uncertainty environmentsThe efficiency vs. learning paradox: how to balance execution with experimentationGenerative AI's real value: rapid prototyping, not scaling (and why that matters)The futures cone and how to think about multiple possible futuresPractical advice for middle managers when leadership won't listenBuilding learning systems that connect across your organization

Officials at the University of Chicago Crime Lab's Policing Leadership Academy brought members of The Second City, Chicago's storied improv theater, to teach police leaders the more diverse skills found in improv exercises—like thinking on your feet, reserving judgment and fully listening. The academy, a workshop taught over five months, tackles some serious topics like how to make data-driven decisions or how to help officers handle on-the-job trauma. The skills might not apply to all policing situations in the field, but being a better listener or learning to take a breath before responding can make for better leaders, according to Tree Branch, a strategic client partner at The Second City Works. The Policing Leadership Academy's creators believe those skills can also help meet their goals to increase community engagement, improve officer morale and ultimately reduce violent crime. Capt. Louis Higginson with the Philadelphia Police Department said the academy provided a much broader training than the two weeks of police job training he got before being promoted to captain a little more than a year ago. “The big thing for me was thinking about the things we allow to happen because they've been that way before us,” he said. “And the ways we can change the culture of our district by changing the thinking around why we do things.” Albuquerque Police Department Commander Ray Del Greco said he's still thinking more about how he communicates weeks after the improv class. “When people talk to you and come to have you help solve their issues, to be able to push your ego out and worry less about your own agenda and listen, that's an understanding of leadership,” Del Greco said. “To me, that was the most valuable class we had.” Academy leaders stressed the learning doesn't stop at graduation. They create communication channels so classmates can continue to support each other, they encourage captains to put on training with their departments, and participants are required to implement a capstone project that lasts well past the last day of class and addresses a real problem in their district or department.

Weak but Not Inadequate | Learning Leadership with the Apostle Paul, pt. 3 Paul's leadership and ministry is weak to all appearances, and the Corinthian church isn't impressed. They prefer their leaders with more charisma and credentials and power than Paul has.  In 2 Corinthians, Paul explains that his ministry takes the shape it does for a very good reason and even though its unimpressive by the standards of the world, it's full of God's power and it doesn't indicate any inferiority or inadequacy.    Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net   Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.

What's Paul's Focus as a Leader? | Learning Leadership with the Apostle Paul, pt. 2 The focus of the leadership books, conferences and trainings of the last 25 years or so has been on organizational leadership. This has created a situation where good christian leaders are people who can grow big and impressive orgs.  But for Paul the standard is different... the way he thinks and talks about leadership as a Christian is focused on developing people not organizations. Colossians 1:28-29 28 We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ. 29 For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me.   2 Corinthians 11:2-3 2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his trickery, your minds will be led astray from sincere and pure devotion to Christ.   Galatians 4:19-20 19 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you— 20 but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone of voice, for I am at a loss about you! The primary metric Paul used to evaluate effective Christian leadership is people being formed into Christlikeness.    Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net   Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.  

Is traditional education holding kids back from real growth? What if asking better questions — not giving better answers — is the key to raising tomorrow's leaders?In this episode, we sit down with Brittany Craveiro — a bold educator, mother, and mentor who's redefining learning through Socratic facilitation and purposeful leadership. As a roadschooling parent and Apogee Women affiliate, Brittany helps young women think deeply, lead confidently, and take ownership of their future.If you're ready to challenge the way we teach and inspire a generation to become, not just perform, this conversation is for you.Quotes:• "I love to refer to Socratic conversations as exercise for your brain, because the first time I had a Socratic conversation, it really was obvious to me that I was accessing different parts of my brain." - Brittany Craveiro• "It's been an experience, and it's been neat to live with less and to see how much we were attached to things. So that's been a really cleansing opportunity, for sure." - Brittany Craveiro• "I fell in love with Socratic facilitation because it allows me to exercise my brain." - Brittany CraveiroKey Takeaways:• Redefine Leadership in Your Home: Create space for your kids (or yourself) to think out loud without fear of being “wrong.” Start one dinner this week with a big question — no right answers allowed.• Reflect on the Question “Who Are You Becoming?” Use this as a journal prompt or conversation starter. Instead of focusing on goals or grades, shift attention to identity and intention.• Practice Socratic Listening: In your next conversation, don't just listen to respond — ask one follow-up question that challenges or deepens what the other person said. Exercise curiosity instead of control.• Build Your Rules of Engagement: Whether for your family, team, or classroom — define how you want to show up in conversations. (e.g., Eye contact, kindness, take a stand, ask clarifying questions.)• Create a Daily Discipline Challenge: Choose one small act of self-care — fitness, food, sleep, or gratitude — and commit to doing it every day for the next 7 days. Then reflect: how did that one choice shape who you became?Conclusion:In a world obsessed with quick answers and constant performance, Brittany Craveiro reminds us that the questions we ask — of ourselves and others — are what truly shape us. Whether you're a parent, mentor, educator, or simply someone striving to grow, this episode challenges you to lead with intention, think deeply, and care for the one thing you truly own — your mind, your body, and your character. You don't have to follow the script society handed you. You get to design the kind of leader — and the kind of human — you're becoming.So… who are you becoming today?

How Does Paul Understand Authority | Learning Leadership with the Apostle Paul, pt. 1 How does Paul understand what his authority is for? 2 Corinthians 10:8 For if I boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,   2 Corinthians 13:9-10 9 For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak, but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you become mature. 10 For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.   2 Corinthians 12:19 19 All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for building you up, beloved.   2 Corinthians 1:23-2:4 23 But I call God as witness to my soul, that it was to spare you that I did not come again to Corinth. 24 Not that we domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm. 2:1 But I decided this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again. 2 For if I cause you sorrow, who then will be the one making me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me? 3 This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy was the joy of you all. 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.     Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net   Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.

Rob is one of my coaching clients. I asked him to be a guest here since many people perceive leadership and learning it as different than I mean. His work in medicine may not be at the center of sustainability, but I work in leadership, which I apply to sustainability. Listen to this episode to learn what changes to your life you can expect when you take my workshops. Listen to him for the full picture, but I think you'll hear profound and enduring personal growth, professional growth, improved relationships with spouse, children, and coworkers, promotion, security, connecting with your passions and realizing them, and more.It seems an overwhelming majority of people I talk to who haven't explicitly learned leadership associate leadership with the opposite of what I mean when I talk about leadership. They think of it as imposing authority, manipulating, convincing, telling people what to do, and the like.My definition of leadership is helping people do what they already want but haven't figured out how. Rob shares how he is learning and improving his leadership. People in sustainability can learn a lot from his fast and significant learning. Hosted on Acast.

Mike Switzer interviews Clemson Turregano, a senior fellow at the Furman University Center for Innovative Leadership in Greenville, SC.

“There's three groups of people. When there's a crisis, there are three people you need to talk to, including your employees, your stakeholders, your suppliers, whatever, and the public… You've got to get out there and tell your employees it's okay, you're going to be safe, and you need to tell the managers beneath you that, hey, you're going to be okay, here's what we're going to do. But if you're not communicating on a crisis level, that's horrible. But a company that is always communicating with its employees, its stakeholders, and the public, if it's always doing that, then it becomes just a kind of a natural thing.” – David Tyler This episode is the second half of my conversation with media and communication coach David Tyler as we discuss the key to maintaining effective communications during a crisis, how remote work has changed the way we share knowledge, and what makes sound more important than ever.

(0:00:00) - Communication Strategies for Effective LeadershipThe second half of our discussion starts with David's advice for business leaders looking to build both team rapport and a stronger brand. “A lot of times,” he says, “managers are just pushed up the ladder and given no training about how to be a better communicator. But I think probably the biggest thing that managers need to know is how to communicate vision.” We talk about some of the latest headlines and how they've tested each company's communication strategies, and the technological barriers that he sees when it comes to making a connection. “One of the other things that I teach managers,” he says, “is that listening is 50% of the conversation, and I emphasize that with them. It's important to listen actively, to put away your phone, [and] to put away any kind of distractions.”(0:10:03) - Media Interview Preparation and Communication TipsDavid shares his thoughts on branding and communicating through the media, and tips for anyone facing a surprise interview. “What do you think they're going to ask?” he suggests. “And write those questions down and have a list of the questions with the answers, so that you already have an answer.” He offers a playful example of how to keep an interview on track when I ask him about his hair color. “That's a really good question,” he quips, “but I think what we should talk about is the financial problems we're having in Ottawa.” As he explains, “You need to have the things you want the public to know ready to go and then find a way to weave those things into the interview.”(0:13:33) - The Importance of Non-Verbal CommunicationAs our conversation comes to a close, David and I talk about how much subtext can be carried by sound and all the non-verbal cues that surround it. “Meaning happens between the words,” he explains, “in the same way that a musician can play a song and then a great musician can take that exact same song, that exact same melody, and put so much meaning into it to drive you to tears.” We discuss AI's role in the future of audio branding, and he shares an observation from...

This week's IBJ Podcast features a conversation from our Forty Under 40 awards breakfast last week with Maureen Weber, the winner of this year's Alumni Award.  Maureen was originally a Forty Under 40 honoree in 2010. Back then, she had just finished reorganizing the Indiana Department of Education and had taken a job as director of community outreach and engagement at Clarian Health, now Indiana University Health. Sixteen years later, Maureen is president and CEO of Early Learning Indiana. She said she took the job because she saw the opportunity to transform the lives of young children, especially vulnerable ones. IBJ Editor Lesley Weidenbener talked with Maureen on stage about the work Early Learning Indiana is doing today and about leadership and learning from failure. You can read more about Maureen and see our latest Forty Under 40 class here.

Cohan, a former senior Wall Street M&A investment banker for 17 years at Lazard Frères & Co., Merrill Lynch, and JPMorgan Chase, is the New York Times bestselling author of seven nonfiction narratives, including his most recent book, Power Failure: The Rise and Fall of An American Icon.STORY: William discusses lessons from his most recent book, which is a story of General Electric (GE), a former global company with facilities worldwide.

Achieve the numbers in an ethical manner. “I try to write books that I like to read, with great characters and great stories. And, yes, it's a long book, but I think it's a great story and worth your time.”William Cohan Guest profileWilliam D. Cohan, a former senior Wall Street M&A investment banker for 17 years at Lazard Frères & Co., Merrill Lynch, and JPMorgan Chase, is the New York Times bestselling author of seven nonfiction narratives, including his most recent book, Power Failure: The Rise and Fall of An American Icon.William is a former guest on the show on episode 739: Get the Numbers Right Before You Invest. Today, he's back to discuss lessons from his most recent book, which is a story of General Electric (GE), a former global company with facilities worldwide.

Welch had pledged to disrupt things to change how GE was run, and he was frankly a fantastic leader. People loved working for him, and he got more out of people than they thought possible. Welch was beloved, feared, respected, and delivered.When choosing a successor, Welch gravitated towards Immelt because he went to Dartmouth and Harvard Business School, got his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, and was generally intelligent. However, Immelt didn't understand GE Capital. He didn't understand finance well or know the dangers of borrowing short and lending long.Borrowing in the commercial paper market is like a 30-day liability, and lending out 7-10 years means that if something happens and dries up your source of capital, you're toast.
