I'd love to hear from you! Send a text message.In this thought-provoking conversation, Jill, a 14-year entrepreneurship faculty member at Madison College, reveals how traits like resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving create exceptional leaders regardless of their role.With employee disengagement at record highs and workplace stress permeating organizations, Jill's approach offers a refreshing alternative. Through her newly-launched consulting company Sync, she's addressing the critical gap between what organizations say they value and what they actually practice through systems and processes. The conversation delves into why emotional intelligence ranks as the projected #1 skill employers will seek by 2025, and why most leaders believe they're more self-aware than they actually are."Words matter, but words are only words. We have to take action," Jill explains, highlighting the disconnect in organizations that claim to prioritize well-being but lack meaningful systems to support it. She shares wisdom gained from years teaching students to develop entrepreneurial thinking, and how these same principles create cultures where people genuinely thrive rather than merely survive.The discussion explores vulnerability as a leadership strength, the importance of aligning words with actions, and practical approaches to measuring cultural transformation. For leaders feeling stuck in bureaucracy or teams struggling with connection, this conversation offers both inspiration and tactical insights for creating purpose-driven environments where emotional intelligence drives success.Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or simply looking to develop greater agency in your career, you'll gain valuable perspectives on cultivating the entrepreneurial mindset as your competitive advantage in today's complex workplace.Get in touch with Jill: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jill-huizenga-385b941b/Be the Best Leader You Know Perform with Power, Lead with Impact, Inspire GrowthTo sharpen your skills and increase your confidence, check out the Confident Leader Course: https://www.intentionaleaders.com/confident-leader

Dr. Angela Byers-Winston and Ray Allen discuss the difference between good intentions and intentionality, when it comes to identifying and creating real change? The ad hoc study group worked to present their critical findings and strategic recommendations aimed at addressing the long-standing challenges faced by Black students, faculty, and staff on university campus. They discuss the question, “What is the systemic inertia to follow through on the recommendations?” Hear the unfiltered conversation about the report conducted by the UW by those that served on the board. All three speak honestly about the process, offering what made them angry or frustrated, and the hopes they have for change. They talk about how creating programs only can't change the DEI issues, but it takes institutional and organizational change.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first female elected head of state in an African nation and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate joins Mike Shanley to discuss the role of aid donors, localization, and women and development. This episode was recorded live at the Society for International Development-US Annual Dinner on 13 November 2024.   BIOGRAPHY: Internationally known as Africa's “Iron Lady,” President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is a leading promoter of peace, justice and democratic rule. She grew up in the Liberian capital of Monrovia, where she married and had four sons. President Johnson Sirleaf later moved to the United States where she earned an accounting degree from the Madison College of Business and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. In her efforts to bring justice to her people in Liberia, she has spent more than a year in jail at the hands of the military dictatorship of General Samuel Doe and had her life threatened by former President Charles Taylor. She campaigned relentlessly for Taylor's removal from office and played an active and supportive role in the Transitional Government of Liberia as the country prepared for elections in October of 2005. President Johnson Sirleaf was a presidential candidate in the 1997 Liberia general election where she finished second in the field of 13. Before that, she served for five years as Assistant Administrator and Director of the Regional Bureau for Africa of the United Nations Development Program as Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and was the first woman to lead the United Nations Development Project for Africa. She served as the Chairperson of the Governance Reform Commission of the National Transitional Government of Liberia until she resigned in March 2004 to accept the nomination of the Unity Party of Liberia as the party's leader. In November 2005, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected President of Liberia and became the first woman to lead an African nation. In the elections she defeated popular world-class soccer star George Weah with an impressive 59.4 percent of the vote. In October 2007, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civil award, for her personal courage and unwavering commitment to expanding freedom and improving the lives of people in Liberia and across Africa. And in 2010, as the only female and African Head of State, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was named by Newsweek Magazine as one of the World Top Ten Leaders.   LEARN MORE Thank you for tuning into this episode of the Aid Market Podcast.

Bart and Krista Halderson were living a quiet life in Windsor, Wisconsin. They had a beautiful home and were the proud parents of two sons. Mitchell, 24, worked in tech and was engaged to be married. Chandler, 23, was attending Madison College studying for an IT degree and had a job lined up at SpaceX. But on July 2, Krista did not show up for work and her coworkers began to worry. They tried calling Krista, but there was no response. On July 7th, Chandler reported his parents missing to the local police telling detectives his mom and dad were picked up and driven to a cabin by a couple he didn't know on July 1st. But police would later find out the parents had never gone to the cabin that weekend. And slowly the world of lies Chandler had been creating for years started to unravel. From creating fake college administration email accounts to email his dad to pretend he was still in college, all the way to faking an apartment in florida and a job at spacex. All this would be brought to the parents attention, the day before they were never seen again. All Chandler's life he was able to lie and cheat to get out of accountability, but how far could his lying and cheating get him when faced with 2 counts of murder? Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I explore the neuroscience of kindness with special guest, Janet Sperstad, CMP-Fellow and Faculty Emeritus for Madison College. Janet Sperstad's professional history reflects her lifelong vocation: driving excellence in meeting and event management execution and education. She has dedicated her career to defining the competencies and career pathways that articulate meeting planning as a design discipline requiring skills in the social sciences, executive leadership, and the cognitive sciences. Her contributions are global in scope and rooted in over 25 years as a meeting professional and executive leader in the corporate and non-profit sectors.This is part two in a series where we unlock some more areas of neuroscience and how it can apply to our lives as event professionals. If you missed Part 1, where we discuss the neuroscience of stress and resilience, you can check it out here.The fine print of this episode comes down to: kindness matters when we are planning events. As we lead our events, it's important to understand how kindness plays a big role in helping you solve problems, deal with stressful situations, and even become more creative on the spot.  In this episode, Janet shares how 90% of the conversations that we have are social in nature. She shares how our brain is a very social organ in which its natural set point is to commune with others. Additionally, kindness is a neurochemical and a culture. It can ignite the reward center in our brain and it is pro-social in nature craving community with other human beings. Thus, our brain cultivates commonalities, it wants to look for belonging and collaboration and is wired to look out for differences.Furthermore, Janet teaches us that there is a language of kindness, and how every word we use to portray kindness can cascade across people. As event professionals when we get into a period of frustration or stress or just solving a problem, responding in kindness can help to minimize the stress and frustration that is being emitted in the moment.Lastly, we unpack that great ideas come to us best when we are relaxed. So when we are solving problems onsite ensuring that we are responding in kind ways that will produce more ideas for creative problem-solving can be helpful. Stay until the end to hear some personal fun tidbits about Janet and her sharing the time when she was shown kindness that shook her to her core.  If you enjoyed the first episode, you'll love this one too.

Her contributions are global in scope and rooted in over 25 years as a meeting professional and executive leader in the corporate and non-profit sectors. As you listen to this episode, you'll learn that Janet grew up with the philosophy of "a rising tide rises all boats.", and that has been how she has lived a life of helping others and in turn, it helps her in some way.  Through curiosity, Janet started finding out clear connections in what we do in our events around education and saw the connection in social science. On this personal journey, Janet was able to go deep and see things about how we work as event professionals.Two of the main things Janet has learned in all of her studies that she wanted to share in this episode are this:With threat, we run from danger. We look for threat and we respond to threat.We love happiness. We feel good and love laughter and relaxation.The brain goes towards threat, and it wants to keep you safe. So, enter the conversation on how stress can have an impact on your brain and how you can lessen the impacts and become more resilient.Because in essence, we run from threat, and we walk toward reward. If you're feeling stressed out as an event planner. It doesn't have to control you. Let it go. As soon as you let it go, it loses power."We can't handle the externalities that come for us, we can only handle how we react to them." - Janet SperstadJanet gives us a brief solution on how you can relieve stress in the moment, whether you are at your desk frustrated at an email or onsite having to deal with a high-stress situationWash your hands with warm water, take three big breaths…pull your shoulders back and walk away.It's as simple as that. This episode is full of lots of hidden gems for you to use to help you not only understand how your brain works, but give you tangible tips on how to combat stress, and tough times in this industry so that you can stay in the game.Links and ResourcesJanet Sperstad LinkedInThank you so much for listening, until next time, stay on purpose!Support the show

In this episode you'll hear about a true comeback story that's nothing short of inspiring. Former Wisconsin Badger volleyball player Courtney Gorum's journey is a testament to the power of second chances and unwavering determination. Courtney's initial volleyball career at Wisconsin was met with challenges as she never had the opportunity to step onto the court due to medical retirement. However, her passion for the game never waned. Last year, she took on a role as an assistant coach at Madison College, working alongside her former teammate Mallory Stone. Little did she know that a casual joke would turn into a remarkable reality. Courtney discovered that she had two years of eligibility remaining and seized the opportunity to reignite her volleyball career. Now, she's back in action with the Wolfpack, not just as a player but almost serving as a player/coach on the court. And here's the incredible part - Courtney is dominating the game. She's not just playing; she's excelling. In fact, she's in the top 15 nationally for total kills. Her story is a testament to her resilience nature and the unyielding pursuit of one's passion. I hope you enjoy this incredible story, and I hope it serves as a reminder that it's never too late to make a comeback and rise to the top.

F-35 military fighter jets are expected to arrive in Madison as early as April. Madison is the second Air National Guard in the nation to receive the military's newest jets. They'll be stationed at Truax field, next to the airport and Madison College.  The Wisconsin Air National Guard calls them a “game changer.” The federal F-35 program - the most expensive weapon in US history - was designed to give the military a “Swiss Army knife” jet capable of handling a multitude of missions. Many others have called them a boondoggle. The jets have been delayed for years, gone over budget, and faced numerous technical problems. The Madison City Council has called on the Secretary of the Air Force to station them elsewhere. Madison residents have raised concerns about the noise and potential health impacts of the jets, as well as their nuclear capabilities.  So what can we expect when these jets arrive?  Retired Air Force Colonel Rosanne Greco knows first-hand what it's like to live with F-35s. At first, she thought the noise complaints were “wimpy.” Now? Not so much. Wanna talk to us about an episode? Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email madison@citycast.fm.

Recently, Earth Ancients has presented programs revealing evidence of ancient archeology on the surface of Mars. These programs were designed to highlight scientific research which was suppressed by NASA, or dismissed as pseudoscience by the scientific community. When the “Face on Mars” was first imaged and presented to the public in 1976, NASA immediately claimed that they were a trick of light. Additional images were take on the Cydonia region of Mars, which later presented an amazing variety of buildings, pyramids and structures that were identified and studied by a number of independent scientific groups. The most noted of these groups, The Society for Planetary SETI Research (SPSR), is an organization made up of image specialists and other scientific disciplines. Our program features members of SPSR as we present new evidence of archeology on Mars. George J. Haas is the founder of the Mars research group, The Cydonia Institute (EST1991). His research encompasses over 20 years of study and analysis of NASA and ESA photographs of the surface of Mars. He's the author ofThe Martian Codex: More Reflections from Mars, and Cydonia Codex: Reflections from Mars Dr. Mark Carlotto, Mark J. Carlotto is an image scientist with 30 years of experience in satellite remote sensing and digital image processing. His first book, The Martian Enigmas (North Atlantic Books, 1996), describes in detail his analysis of imagery of the Face and other unusual objects on the surface of Mars. He's also the author of The Cydonia Controversy. Dr. John E. Brandenburg is a plasma physicist working as a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC and as a part-time instructor of Astronomy, Physics and Mathematics at Madison College, in Madison, Wisconsin. He's the author of Life and Death on Mars (2010), and Dead Mars, Dying Earth (1999) with Monica Rix Paxson.

Mark Carlotto & John Brandenburg: Lunar Anomalies and Archaeology Are there archaeological ruins on the Moon?Following the discovery of unknown artifacts and structural anomalies during Apollo 11 & 12 space missions, there has been great speculation that NASA was aware of other civilizations on the moon.For centuries astronomers have observed transient lunar phenomena (TLP) - lights that appear and, in some cases, move across the lunar surface. In 1968 NASA published a report describing hundreds of TLP sightings. With the recent discovery of collapsed lava tubes by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and other probes, there is growing speculation that vast subterranean spaces exist below the lunar surface suitable for settlement and manufacturing. In this program we consider the possibility that some TLP may originate from within the moon and that collapsed lava tubes may be a more likely place to find evidence of extraterrestrial activity than on the surface.Mark Carlotto is an aerospace engineer with over thirty years of experience in remote sensing, pattern recognition, computer vision, signal/image processing, and terrain mapping. He received a Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1981 and has more than one hundred publications and several books in a number of areas.
