Podcasts about meetings

Mastering the Art of Listening Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, John DiJulius and Denise Thompson discuss the importance of listening in customer service and leadership. They explore recent trends in customer experience, the art of listening, and practical tips for improving listening skills. The conversation emphasizes curiosity, engagement, and the need for leaders to create an environment where everyone feels heard. They also touch on the concept of a 'reality distortion field' and how it can inspire teams to achieve the impossible. Takeaways Listening is a critical skill in customer service and leadership. Curiosity drives better conversations and deeper connections. Effective listening requires patience and the ability to let others finish their thoughts. Leaders should speak last to empower their teams and encourage open dialogue. Avoid multitasking during conversations to show respect and engagement. Asking probing questions enhances the quality of discussions. Listening like you're wrong can lead to better understanding and service recovery. Being a trampoline, not a sponge, fosters more engaging conversations. Everyone has a story that can provide valuable insights. Creating a reality distortion field can help teams achieve extraordinary results.

As we speak, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu and their advisors have conducted a series of high-level meetings in Washington, making Netanyahu the most frequent visitor to the Trump White House this year. All eyes are on what's said, what's implied, and what's not said as the leaders talk about Gaza and Hamas and the consequences of the 21-month long war on Israel, Iran and the outcome of Israel's recent Operation Rising Lion decimating the Iranian nuclear program, IRGC and missiles, and the chance to expand the Abraham Accords including the Saudis, Syria, and others. Elliot Chodoff and Jonathan Tobin bring remarkable analysis and insight.

In this 6th episode of Meetings Matter on the Leadership Currency podcast, Dr. McKinley shares why meeting and leadership experts generally discourage manipulative tactics like offering donuts or snacks to get people into a meeting under false pretenses—especially if it's a bait-and-switch strategy. Meeting participants are more apt to be engaged when transparency is evident. To Order Doug's Books: The Resiliency Quest,Mad About Us Visit Doug's Website: https://www.dougmckinley.com/ Receive a Free Leadership Resource: Leadership Guide 

What if joy became the most important metric when we organised events? Or, to put it another way, why are so many events uninspiring and not very joyful?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined by event strategist, educator, and author Tahira Endean to explore a provocative question: what if we measured events not just by financial metrics, but by the joy they deliver?Drawing from her new book Our KPI is Joy: How Live Events Catalyze Happiness, Productivity and Trust, Tahira shares deep insights from decades of experience curating and designing events at scale, including her work with IMEX, one of the largest global gatherings in the meetings and events industry. We discuss why so many events feel soul-crushingly mediocre and how that reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what people really need when they come together. Tahira challenges the industry's obsession with surface-level logistics and proposes a reorientation around human experience.She unpacks everything from the science of connection and discomfort to the power of design, food, space, and unexpected joy to foster trust and productivity. Whether you're an event professional, a business leader, or simply someone who's sat through one too many lifeless conferences, this conversation will challenge how you think about convening people. We discuss beanbags, sound baths, shrimp, secret handshakes, and how small design decisions can profoundly impact how people feel, learn, and connect. And that's what makes joy — not an emoji or indulgence — but a powerful performance indicator.Guest Bio: Tahira EndeanTahira is an experienced event strategist, educator, and co-founder of Strategy Table. She serves as Head of Programme for IMEX, where she curates content for two of the world's largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) industry gatherings in Frankfurt and Las Vegas. With over three decades in the events industry, Tahira has developed a reputation for her forward-thinking approach to event design and human-centric experiences. She teaches event strategy and design, is a passionate advocate for experiential innovation, and brings a behavioural lens to the way we bring people together. She believes in the power of micro-moments, psychological safety, and events as catalysts for human connection and organisational trust.AI-Generated Timestamp Summary0:00:02 - 0:14:48: Maximizing Event Joy for ProductivityThe episode kicks off with a discussion on how joy can be a key performance indicator (KPI) for events. Tahira Endeen, an experienced event strategist, talks about why many events end up being mediocre and how small design changes can significantly enhance the experience. The conversation highlights the importance of joy in fostering happiness, productivity, and trust during gatherings, challenging the traditional business mindset to value joy as much as other KPIs. 0:14:48 - 0:29:08: Designing Events for Human ConnectionThis segment delves into the principles of intentional event design. Tahira and the host explore how creating environments that balance comfort and stimulation can lead to more meaningful interactions and learning experiences. They discuss examples like the 11th International Conference on AIDS, where well-designed events led to groundbreaking innovations. The focus is on nurturing individual experiences over catering to the masses.0:29:08 - 0:37:32: Designing Thoughtful & Engaging EventsThe focus here is on fostering connections and joy in professional events through thoughtful design. Strategies like facilitating introductions by senior managers and organising diverse breakout sessions are explored. The segment underscores the importance of measuring engagement and joy, emphasizing a human-centered approach that considers attendees' needs and enhances productivity and satisfaction.0:37:32 - 0:49:24: Embracing Experimentation and FailureTahira shares insights on the value of experimentation and adaptability in event planning. Through a personal anecdote, she illustrates how innovative ideas, initially met with scepticism, can yield significant benefits. The conversation encourages making small changes, embracing failures as learning opportunities, and maintaining a proactive attitude to achieve unexpected successes. 0:49:24 - 1:01:30: Navigating Event Chaos for SuccessThe episode explores the beauty of embracing imperfections in event planning. Tahira and the host discuss how handling mistakes with grace and humour can add charm to events. They advocate for flexibility in event processes to enhance experiences for both speakers and attendees, maintaining the magic even amidst logistical challenges.LinksIMEX Events - https://imexevents.com/Strategy Table - https://strategytable.co/Our KPI is Joy Book - https://www.amazon.com/Our-KPI-Joy-Happiness-Productivity-ebook/dp/B0DXVX6XX8Tahira on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tahira-endean-msc-citp-cmp-ced-918a868/?

My guest for Episode #315 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Kat Halushka, a business and visibility strategist for coaches, consultants, and speakers. She's the founder of Profitable Impact Academy, where she helps entrepreneurs grow their audience, automate marketing, and land clients through speaking and streamlined funnels. EPISODE PAGE Kat's favorite mistake? She followed the classic advice to “go to networking events and have coffee meetings” to get clients—so she did, hundreds of times. But after exhausting herself with back-to-back coffee chats every Friday, she realized the ROI just wasn't there. Kat had a breakthrough when she nervously gave a short talk at a networking event—and walked away with two new clients that day. That lightbulb moment launched her on a mission to get in front of the room instead of meeting people one-on-one. Over time, she built her credibility by hosting her own events, attracting hundreds of attendees and growing a thriving business community. This shift helped her discover that strategic speaking, not endless small talk, was the true key to visibility and client conversion. Today, Kat teaches entrepreneurs to stop chasing every opportunity and instead focus on clarity, messaging, and scalable systems. She shares powerful lessons on why most new speakers fail to connect—and how you can avoid those pitfalls by making offers that speak to your audience's present-day pain points. Whether you're brand-new to business or looking to scale with less hustle, Kat's insights on visibility, messaging, and mistake-making will help light the way forward. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? How did those endless coffee meetings affect you and your business? What changed after that first speaking engagement? How did you start landing more speaking opportunities after that breakthrough? What was the origin story behind Profitable Impact Academy? What are some of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to grow through speaking? How can business owners get clearer on what their audience really needs? Why is it a mistake to create too many offers or talks? How do you help clients identify and refine the one talk that drives results? What are the differences between speaking as a business vs. speaking to grow a business? When offered a speaking fee, how do you decide whether to accept or negotiate for something else? Can you explain what you mean by making an “offer from the stage”? How do you structure a win-win-win when working with event organizers? What's one way speakers can make a compelling call-to-action without sounding salesy? Can you give an example of a “gift” that actually gets audience engagement? What's your final advice for new entrepreneurs or aspiring speakers?

You can be the best leader in the room, but if you're not visible online, you're missing recruits. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to create a simple, sustainable system that keeps your personal brand active—even when your calendar is full. I'll show you how to remove the guesswork from content creation, stay consistent without burning out, and build trust at scale using a weekly rhythm that works. The leaders who master this now will own attention over the next 12–24 months. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – If you're not creating content consistently in 2025, you're invisible to most of your market. [01:00] Step 1: Create a Simple Content Calendar – Pick 3–5 content themes and assign them to weekdays to eliminate decision fatigue. [02:30] Step 2: Batch Your Content Weekly – Set aside one hour to map, create, and schedule 5–7 posts. Don't make it a daily decision. [04:00] Step 3: Build Visible Accountability – Use a public commitment, a tracker, or team culture to stay consistent when life gets busy. [05:00] Step 4: Lower the Perfection Bar – Your audience doesn't need polished—they need real. [06:00] Step 5: Repurpose What You're Already Saying – Great content is already in your coaching, recruiting, and team conversations. Key Takeaways No Content = No Visibility – Top producers are watching, and trust is being built before you ever talk to them. Structure Solves Inconsistency – Theme your days. Batch your time. Track your progress. Don't Post for Likes. Post for Trust. – Content isn't about going viral. It's about staying visible. Consistency > Creativity – A simple rhythm beats a perfect strategy every time. You're Already Saying Great Stuff – Just start documenting it. Meetings, calls, questions—turn them into posts. Recruits won't remember your name if they've never seen your face. But when you show up with consistency, they'll know exactly who to call when the time is right.

Tucker Carlson remains a highly visible and active voice in conservative media, with several significant developments over the past few days. Most recently, Carlson released a new episode of his show featuring an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now a cabinet secretary, discussing topics such as autism rates and the Kennedy files. This reflects Carlson's ongoing focus on controversial and high-profile guests, as well as his willingness to engage with figures once considered outside the mainstream.Carlson continues to expand his independent media footprint through the Tucker Carlson Network, a venture he now owns outright after buying out previous investors. This change, as reported by Axios and Barrett Media, was made to ensure complete editorial independence, with Carlson stating that true independence requires sole ownership. The network has become profitable faster than expected, allowing this transition and demonstrating the commercial viability of his subscriber-based model. Alongside his direct website, Carlson's media efforts include his high-viewership video show on X (formerly Twitter) and a podcast that has seen top 10 national listenership, marking his success outside traditional cable news outlets.In terms of new ventures, Carlson and longtime business partner Neil Patel are reportedly raising substantial funds for a separate media company that would use X as its foundation. According to The Wall Street Journal, the new company's model would blend free short-form content with longer, subscription-based episodes, further leveraging the social media platform's reach while pursuing recurring revenue from dedicated audiences. Meetings with X have already taken place to discuss integrating these projects with dedicated websites and apps, and expansion onto additional platforms is under consideration.Carlson's recent content has sometimes sparked debate. For example, his interviews with controversial figures, such as Andrew Tate, have brought criticism as well as attention, reinforcing his image as a provocateur unafraid to platform contentious voices. There has also been comedic and critical commentary on his style and substance, exemplified by a recent satirical video imagining a conversation between Carlson and Ted Cruz on esoteric theological topics, highlighting how his influence and methods remain a subject of wider media discussion.Carlson's media independence and his willingness to platform controversial figures continue to elicit both strong support and criticism. Supporters view his ownership structure and refusal to take outside investments as proof of integrity, while critics point to his willingness to host polarizing guests as evidence of dangerous platforming. These dynamics keep Carlson at the center of debates about media influence, the boundaries of acceptable speech, and the evolving landscape of news and opinion.There have been no recent major legal or professional controversies directly involving Carlson reported over the past few days. The focus instead remains on his media ventures and content, with the public and media ecosystem watching closely for how his model might challenge or reshape the industry after his departure from Fox News.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast, and don't forget to subscribe.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we're revisiting a critical aspect of recovery from Episode 64 - Forgiveness. In this episode, Mark brings us a topic that touches the core of many recovery journeys: self-forgiveness and building genuine self-confidence. Mark inquires: How can I learn to forgive myself and be confident in my self-worth?For those of us in recovery, particularly during the early stages, the act of forgiving ourselves can seem monumental. This inability to forgive often leaves us trapped in a cycle of persistent low self-esteem. Understanding and resolving these feelings is an important step on the path to recovery.It's an essential conversation for anyone struggling with guilt or shame and for those seeking insight into their journey towards healing.

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Sit back and enjoy today's episode (although today, you just may learn something). We start off by apologizing for a tech glitch that removed all the previous episodes from our website and then discover a current tech glitch that impacted the recording of this episode. SO FUN! Microsoft released a report in which they describe the current work environment as the “infinite workday.” Meetings that start between 8 PM and midnight, constant interruptions, pings and texts well past business hours are all mentioned in this report. Dan shares his love of reading focus books and trying to organize his time, Nicole shares her strengths and weaknesses in this area.  Dan counters this story with one talking about how people are using AI and programs to make it LOOK like they are working, but they actually are not working at all. We also dip our toe into working from home, is it effective and how things have changed since the pandemic. And finally, getting stuck on a roller coaster is one of Nicole's true nightmare scenarios. We discuss along with the reason Dan does not care for roller coasters (or thrill rides in general). This is the segment where you actually might learn something and for that we apologize.  Thanks for joining us! You can watch the live taping most Mondays at 7 PM on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram OR wait until the official podcast release on Wednesday morning.

A long day today. Lots of meetings. 4 blackjack sessions, slots and more.

In this heartfelt reflection, Christina Cook—host of The Broke Girl Society podcast—dives into one of her favorite quotes:“The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety—it's connection.”Recovery isn't just about what we're walking away from—it's about what we're walking toward. And connection is at the heart of that journey. In this short episode, Christina talks about the quiet strength found in late-night phone calls, supportive group chats, and the simple but powerful act of saying, “I'm struggling.”Whether you're new to recovery or years into it, this is your reminder that support is always out there. From online groups like The Broke Girl Society to in-person meetings and peer-led communities, there are people ready to welcome you with open arms.You don't have to do this alone.None of us do.Connection is where healing begins—and it often starts with one message, one meeting, or one honest conversation.**If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals.

Today, Eric tackles the truth about uncertainty.  Many business owners and entrepreneurs find uncertainty unbearable. Eric points out that if you, as a business owner, do not learn the art of navigating uncertain times, you may need to reconsider whether it is genuinely the right industry for you. Uncertainty Feels Tougher Without a Plan A friend of Eric, living in Israel, recently made the striking observation that he finds frequent missile alerts easier to handle than the uncertainty of running a business. That is because he has prepared himself for those situations. So, when an alarm sounds, he knows exactly what to do. However, navigating uncertainty in business is much harder because there is no clear structure or step-by-step plan to follow.  The truth is that uncertainty becomes far more manageable when you have a plan. Nothing Ever Goes According to Plan With decades of experience running meetings and events worldwide, the constant that always stands out to Eric is that things never go exactly as planned, and disruptions are the norm. So, even though we cannot control everything, we can always control how we respond to it.  When we learn to adapt and prepare ourselves with alternative plans, it makes all the difference! Focus on What You Can Control Control is not about fixing every problem. It is about identifying the next best step you can take. When unexpected challenges arise, the solution lies in focusing on controllable factors. Proactive problem-solving, negotiation, and networking help us create viable paths forward.  Keep Perspective During Chaos When stress builds, especially in uncertain times, return to your values, your purpose, and the progress you have made. Uncertainty will always exist, but so will your capacity to adapt, find solutions, and do what truly matters. That is often the only certainty you will need.

Welcome to episode #989 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Andrew Brodsky is reshaping how we think about work, not by focusing on tasks or tools, but by interrogating how we communicate. A management professor at the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin, Andrew specializes in organizational behavior, with a sharp focus on the friction (and possibility) that emerges when human behavior meets digital platforms. With a PhD from Harvard Business School and a BS from Wharton, his work explores everything from how to show emotional authenticity on Zoom to how organizations can build culture without a physical office. In his new book, Ping - The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication, Andrew offers a science-backed, research-driven guide to the biggest question facing modern professionals: when should something be an email, a Slack, a video call or nothing at all? He pushes past the cliché of "this meeting could've been an email” to examine what kinds of communication actually drive clarity, trust and effectiveness. In this episode, we explore the messy reality of hybrid work, the erosion of “third places” where colleagues used to casually connect, and the deeper organizational consequences of fragmented communication norms. Andrew explains why remote work isn't the root of all workplace disconnection (return-to-office mandates won't fix your culture) and how better communication (intentional, strategic, well-matched to the message) is the real differentiator for teams. We also talk about the long-term implications of this shift: from how loneliness is showing up in employee engagement surveys to how new communication technologies might shape our future work rhythms. Whether you're leading a team, working across time zones, or just trying to get a response to your last message, this conversation offers practical takeaways grounded in deep expertise and real-world research. Andrew's insights cut through the noise and help us see virtual communication not as a limitation, but as an opportunity to be more human, more clear and more connected… no matter the channel.

In this episode of In the Circle, I respond to a courageous and heartfelt inquiry from Barbara. She asks: How do I make peace with taking medication for Parkinson's, after years of addiction and recovery? Her story is raw, vulnerable, and deeply human: the daily crash after each dose, the fear it stirs up, the echoes of withdrawal, and the sense that maybe she's being pulled back into something she's worked so hard to rise above.What struck me most was the physical discomfort she described and the emotional complexity behind it—the grief, the doubt, the resistance. I've seen this before, in myself and others: when medication is both necessary and triggering, it's not just about dosage. It's about trust. It's about building a relationship with the medicine that aligns with our values, instead of clashing with our past.My invitation to you is to reframe the story. What if this is magic medicine? What if we drop the judgment and meet the reality of the moment with full presence and compassion? It's not giving up. It's aligning with what's true right now and adjusting our lives to support that truth with grace. That might mean talking to your doctor, shifting routines, or simply asking for more help. But it starts with acceptance.So if you're in a complicated relationship with medication, or supporting someone who is, I hope this conversation reminds you: your strength is not measured by how little you need, but by how deeply you show up for your life. There is no shame in taking what helps. There's only the next step, the next breath, and the next moment of courage.Tommy Discusses:Relief and discomfort can coexistLifestyle adjustments and MedicationAcceptance is a powerful toolYou are not alone, you are not failingWould you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Dave Garrison, author of The Buy-In Advantage: Why Employees Stop Caring and How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Give Their All. We've all faced moments where our team seems checked out or disengaged. But what if the real issue is that they don't feel invited to care? Dave challenges conventional approaches to engagement and offers practical, actionable strategies for fostering true buy-in. In this conversation, Dave shares the difference between engagement and buy-in, how traditional methods like bribing or badgering can backfire, and how leaders can use curiosity, clarity, and inclusive decision-making to fuel commitment. You'll learn how to better structure meetings, make feedback more meaningful, and identify red flags that indicate declining motivation. If you're leading teams and looking to create cultures where people don't just show up but they fully buy in, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “It's not about satisfaction. It's about whether people are bringing their head, heart, and gut to work.” “Leaders go last all the time. Except when it comes to vulnerability. Then leaders go first.” “You don't know how you land unless you ask. And you can't ask in a way that intimidates.” "People support what they create." “PB&J? It stands for 'patiently badger and jam it down their throat.' And that doesn't work.” “Three is greater than seven when it comes to priorities. Seven is not a priority list.” “Done with, not done to.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Start of Interview 02:00 What's the Difference Between Engagement and Buy-In? 04:20 Why Are We Facing a Perfect Storm of Low Buy-In? 07:00 What Leaders Do That Actually Makes Buy-In Worse 08:25 The Meaning of PB&J (Patiently Badger and Jam It) 10:26 How Leaders Unintentionally Undermine Buy-In 12:00 Warning Signs of Low Buy-In on Your Team 14:37 Debunking the Myth That Money Is the Main Motivator 15:42 The Difference Between Collective Genius and Consensus 18:00 A Structured Approach to Inclusive Problem Solving 19:58 The Role of Curiosity in Performance Reviews 21:40 The Power of Pre-Reading and Slowing Down for Better Thinking 24:20 How to Prioritize What Matters—From Ideation to Internalization 27:10 Simplifying and Clarifying Priorities 29:40 Ideas for Celebrating in Ways That Actually Matter 31:44 Why Specific Recognition Matters More Than General Praise 34:40 What Cornhole and Cookouts Have to Do With Buy-In 35:20 Applying These Ideas at Home: Buy-In in Parenting 36:49 End of Interview 37:15 Andy Comments After the Interview 42:29 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Dave and his work at BuyInBook.com.
