Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I'm thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.In this episode of Mental Models for Managing Change, we explore a mental model that helps us cut through complexity and focus our energy where it really counts: The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 Rule.Named after economist Vilfredo Pareto, this model reveals a powerful pattern — that a small percentage of inputs often lead to the majority of outcomes. In change work, that means identifying the vital few actions, stakeholders, or conversations that drive the biggest impact.If you have ever felt spread too thin, overwhelmed by competing priorities, or stuck in busywork that goes nowhere, this episode is for you.Learn how to spot the 20% that truly matters, make better decisions with limited time, and shift from doing more… to doing what matters most.Listen now to discover how the Pareto Principle can bring clarity, focus, and traction to your next change effort.Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I'm thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.In this episode of Mental Models for Managing Change, we explore a mental model that helps us pause, reflect, and challenge how we make sense of the world around us: The Ladder of Inference.Developed by organisational psychologist Chris Argyris and later popularised by Peter Senge, this model shows how quickly we move from observing facts to taking action — often based on assumptions, not evidence.It is especially useful in moments of tension, misalignment, or misunderstanding — and in change work, those moments happen often.If you have ever walked away from a meeting wondering, “How did we end up on such different pages?”, this episode is for you.Learn how to recognise the thinking patterns that drive your decisions, how to stay grounded in what is observable, and how to open up better, more constructive conversations — even during complex change.Listen now to step off the ladder, and into clearer, more intentional leadership.Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I'm thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.In this episode, we explore a mental model that invites us to look beyond the immediate impact of change: Second-Order Thinking.So often, change initiatives are shaped around what we expect to happen next. But in reality, change rarely follows a straight line — and first-order decisions often lead to second and third-order consequences we did not anticipate.Second-Order Thinking encourages us to slow down and ask better questions — “And then what?” It helps us move beyond short-term fixes and consider the ripple effects, unintended outcomes, and longer-term dynamics our decisions might set in motion.If you have ever implemented a change that worked on paper but created new challenges in practice, or if you are aiming to lead change that truly lasts, this episode offers a practical lens to deepen your thinking and strengthen your strategy.Listen now to discover how Second-Order Thinking can help you lead change with foresight, clarity, and intention.Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I'm thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.In this episode, we explore a model that helps us look beyond what is visible in times of change: the Iceberg Model.Often, we respond to what we can see on the surface — missed deadlines, disengaged teams, unexpected resistance. But, as with an iceberg, most of the real forces driving those outcomes lie beneath.The Iceberg Model encourages us to go deeper — to understand the patterns, structures, and mental models that sit underneath the events we see. When we take this layered view, we can begin to address root causes, not just symptoms.If you have ever found yourself solving the same issue repeatedly or wondering why certain problems persist despite good intentions, this episode offers a powerful way to reframe your approach.Listen now to discover how the Iceberg Model can help you lead more thoughtful, sustainable change in your organisation.#ChangeManagement #MentalModels #SystemsThinking #OrganisationalChange #LeadershipDevelopment #ManagingChange #ComplexityThinking #TheInnerGameOfChangeSend us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

Hi everyone, and welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I'm thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.Before we dive into today's topic, let's quickly cover what a mental model actually is.A mental model is simply a way of thinking — a framework that helps us understand the world, make better decisions, and solve problems more effectively. Think of it like a blueprint for how to approach challenges and navigate complexity.Here's a simple analogy: Imagine you are driving to a new destination. Without a map, you could easily take wrong turns, waste time, or even get lost. But with a map — your mental model — you have a clear route to follow, helping you avoid mistakes and arrive faster and with far less stress.In the same way, mental models give us a clearer path when managing change. They help us break down complexity, anticipate obstacles, and guide us toward better outcomes.And today, we're diving into a mental model that sits at the heart of successful change initiatives: The Influence Model.Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast

In this powerful episode, host Danny Ceballos is joined by five expert leadership coaches (The Hive) to discuss a deeply relevant topic: organizational and individual grief. Change in the workplace often brings loss—whether it's losing a team member, shifting leadership structures, or navigating major transitions. However, grief isn't just about personal loss—it's also about adjusting to change, uncertainty, and new realities. Leaders must understand how grief impacts both individuals and teams and find ways to navigate it with awareness, compassion, and action. Our panel of leadership experts breaks down how leaders can support themselves and their teams through the complex emotions that come with organizational shifts. From naming and normalizing grief to creating space for healing without sacrificing productivity, we explore practical strategies for fostering resilience in the workplace. Key Takeaways The different forms of grief in organizations and why leaders must recognize them How leaders can create space for emotions while maintaining team productivity Why acknowledging grief can lead to higher employee retention and engagement The role of rituals and collective processing in navigating workplace transitions Three key leadership principles: Compassion, Confidence, and Competence How unaddressed grief can lead to resistance, disengagement, and burnout The connection between grief and change management failures (70% fail due to emotional resistance!) How vulnerability and authenticity make leaders more effective in times of loss Simple, actionable ways to help teams move forward without bypassing emotions Resources Mentioned in This Episode Books: Healing Grief at Work by Dr. Alan Wolfelt Positive Intelligence (PQ) - Learn more at PositiveIntelligence.com Grok Conversation Cards - A tool for naming emotions in the workplace "The Hive" is ...

Points of Interest0:24 – 0:54 – Show Introduction & Guest Introduction: Marcel introduces Kristen Kelly, highlighting her expertise in operations and agency profitability management.1:01 – 1:45 – The Three-Part Profitability Management System Overview: Kristen recaps the framework discussed in previous episodes: the right data, ensuring financial, delivery, and sales data are clean; the right framework, having clear metrics and understanding relationships; and the right process, implementing structured cadences for decision-making.1:46 – 3:07 – Why Process is Often the Missing Piece in Profitability Management: Marcel explains that many agencies mistakenly view profitability management as an event rather than an ongoing process. He highlights common pitfalls, such as assuming data will always be clean or that a one-time setup will be sufficient.4:59 – 7:46 – Data Hygiene: Managing Messy Data in Agencies: Kristen and Marcel dive into the first major component of process—data hygiene. They discuss common data inconsistencies, such as naming conventions, incorrect project tracking, and human input errors. Marcel emphasizes the importance of an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to clean and normalize data.10:03 – 13:26 – Managing Change in Agency Operations: Kristen and Marcel discuss the second key aspect of process: change management. Changes in sales strategies, CRM systems, or project management tools can disrupt data reporting. A structured process ensures smooth transitions and prevents disruptions in decision-making.17:01 – 20:52 – Cadence: Aligning Stakeholders for Operational Success: Establishing consistent meeting cadences ensures alignment between sales, operations, and finance teams. The right frequency depends on agency size and project nature. Monthly executive meetings should focus on key business objectives and resourcing decisions. Regular check-ins help prevent last-minute hiring crises and pricing inefficiencies.28:51 – 33:07 – How Operators Can Manage Up and Set Expectations: Operators should proactively align reporting with leadership goals. Stakeholder management is crucial—Ops leaders should ensure data supports executive decision-making without overwhelming them with details. Simplification and consistency are key to maintaining executive buy-in.33:08 – 36:56 – Fighting Unnecessary Complexity in Reporting: Marcel shares a common mistake: leaders often want overly detailed reporting, which adds unnecessary complexity and friction. The key is balancing detail with usability to avoid overwhelming decision-makers. Simple, actionable reports are more effective than highly detailed but impractical ones.36:57 – 40:26 – The Real Value of Efficient Reporting: Shorter, More Productive Meetings: The success of a reporting system is measured by how quickly teams can align and take action—not by how long they spend looking at data. The less time spent in meetings discussing reports, the more time can be spent executing on insights.40:27 – 42:40 – Final Takeaways: How to Get Started with Process Implementation: Start by identifying the key business decisions that require data support. Work backward from business objectives to define the right data and process framework. Establish clear cadences and responsibilities for maintaining data hygiene and managing change. Prioritize alignment and simplicity over excessive detail.Show NotesConnect with Kristen via LinkedInFree ToolkitParakeeto Foundations CourseLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

Send us a textWhat if your brain's craving for predictability is the real reason behind your stress? In our latest episode, we explore the complex emotions tied to change fatigue in our fast-paced world driven by relentless technological advancements. With AI reshaping the landscape and social media perpetually altering trends, the pressure to adapt can seem insurmountable. We unravel the psychological and physiological impacts of this constant flux, touching on how our intrinsic desire for stability clashes with the modern necessity for change, leading to a pervasive sense of exhaustion.Join us as we navigate the nuances of change fatigue within organizations and the personal sphere, with insights rooted in Brené Brown's research on resilience and psychological safety. Through a compelling case study, we highlight how effective communication can transform resistance into acceptance, creating environments that foster adaptability and decision-making.

Change management is crucial in sales departments because it ensures that transitions are smooth, minimizes disruption, and enhances overall performance. When sales teams are asked to adapt to new processes, tools, or strategies, the success of these changes often hinges on how well the transition is managed, not just the change itself. Effective change management addresses the human element—helping team members move from denial and resistance to exploration and commitment. By understanding and supporting these transitions, leaders can foster an environment where changes are not only accepted but embraced, leading to sustained improvement in sales outcomes. What you'll learn: What are the key stages of transition that sales teams go through during a change initiative? How can leaders identify and manage resistance to change within their sales teams? What strategies can ensure that change initiatives in sales departments are successful and avoid common pitfalls? --- Connect with Hamish on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamishknox/ Meet Hamish at a Sandler Summit: https://www.hamish.sandler.com/orlando Fathom: https://fathom.video/invite/72CZPA Humanic: https://app.humantic.ai/login/?referral_code=HamishKnox_SA

They discuss the prevalence of unofficial project managers in various industries, especially post-pandemic, and the unique challenges they face. Kory shares insights on foundational behaviors, clarifying expectations, stakeholder management, and risk management. The conversation also delves into the significance of accountability and performance discussions, particularly for those leading without formal authority. If you lead projects, regardless of your title, this discussion is for you! Sound Bites "We often find that at least 80% of the participants in our project management workshops don't have the word project in their title. Yet you could argue that, in many ways, we're all project managers." "The top reasons why projects fail are unclear scope, key stakeholders wanting different things, lack of communication, not knowing the roles, having the wrong people in roles, and scope creep." "Accountability takes on a different lens. It's not punitive. It's mutual accountability." "A cadence of accountability sets up a team that is inspired to want to do the work."

Healing Attachment Wounds: Navigating Tough Conversations with Love Patricia discusses her ongoing work on attachment wounds and her recent conversation with her mother about her childhood.

It is important to communicate and share feelings with your partner (when it is safe and appropriate) to create understanding and connection. · Sharing vulnerability and authenticity can have a profound impact on others, as it helps them feel seen, heard, and less alone in their own struggles. · Embracing sensitivity and honoring all of our feelings, even the challenging ones, is an important part of self-care and self-acceptance.
