The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar life tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast, ranked top 10% globally. I'm your host–a sought after best selling author, keynote speaker, and burnout recovery coach for women leaders bringing you stress renewal, energy reset, and inner confidence. Each week, I  bring you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to thrive in life.    Episode Title: Leadership Energy: How Your Vibe Shapes Your Team's Success Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Andrew Stout Episode Summary: In this engaging episode, host Robyn Engelson, sits down with HR expert and Let's Be Diverse Podcast host, Andrew Stout, to unpack how leadership energy shapes workplace culture. Andrew shares powerful insights on why leaders who cultivate trust, empathy, and open communication create environments where employees thrive, free from the "Sunday scaries." He and Robyn discuss practical tools like "listening with pause" (prioritizing understanding overreacting) and why investing in meaningful team experiences (like retreats) outperforms empty perks (like pizza parties). The conversation explores how great leaders spark loyalty, with Andrew noting that engaged teams often turn down recruiter offers because they feel valued. Robyn and Andrew also tackle common pitfalls, like silence breeding resentment, and emphasize the courage of speaking up to drive change.    You'll learn: How leadership energy directly impacts team morale, engagement, and productivity Why "Sunday blues" happen—and how great leaders create workplaces employees want to join on Mondays The power of listening with pause: Why understanding > immediate problem-solving Workplace harmony vs. work-life balance: Why blending work/passion beats strict separation Retention secrets: How engaged teams reject recruiter calls (and why they stay loyal) Why pizza parties fail—and what to do instead (e.g., meaningful retreats & connection) How silence breeds resentment—and why speaking up transforms culture The ripple effect of joy: How passion reduces burnout and fuels productivity HR truths: Core values (trust, empathy, communication) that actually retain top talent   Memorable Quotes: How you show up as a leader sets the weather for your entire team." (Andrew Stout) "Employees don't leave companies, they leave leaders who drain their energy." (Andrew Stout) "If your team dreads Mondays, that's not a ‘them' problem, it's a you problem." (Robyn Engelson) Pizza parties are the Band-Aids of bad culture. Real connection? That takes intention." (Andrew Stout) "A ‘safe workplace' isn't about beanbags and free snacks, it's about people feeling heard." (Robyn Engelson) "Harmony isn't balanced. It's loving where you work and where you live." (Andrew Stout)   Resources & Mentions: Andrew Stout's insights on empathetic leadership and eradicating "Sunday blues" Research on psychological safety's impact on team performance (Harvard Business Review) Innovative HR approaches for diagnosing workplace culture beyond employee surveys Organizations focusing on human-centric leadership and team retreat design   Actionable Steps for Listeners: Audit Your Leadership Energy If your team dreads Mondays or avoids speaking up, your vibe may be the issue. Start noticing how people respond when you enter a room.   Replace Empty Perks with Real Connection Cancel the pizza party. Instead, invest in meaningful offsites or skill-building workshops that align with your team's values.   Practice "Listening with Pause" In your next 1:1, focus only on understanding (no solutions!). Say: “Tell me more about that” and let silence do the work.   Kill Assumptions with Transparency When you sense tension, name it: “I'm noticing ___. What's your take?” Miscommunication thrives in the unsaid.   Final Thought: A leader's energy sets the tone for the entire team. By fostering trust, open communication, and genuine engagement, workplaces can transform from stressful environments into spaces where people thrive.   What listeners have to say: Andrew Stout delivers transformative wisdom with rare authenticity. His insights on leadership energy didn't just explain my workplace struggles - they gave me the language to finally change them. That moment about 'silence being culture's slow killer' shook me to action. For the first time in years, I feel equipped to transform my team's dynamic rather than just survive it.   Loved this episode? If you found value in this conversation, don't forget to leave a review!

“I do so much for them, and they don't even notice”. Sounds like a familiar thought? Many parents of struggling teens or young adults feel used, taken for granted, or stuck in a dynamic where love feels more like a series of trades than a relationship.In this episode, I'm joined again by therapist Trevor Allen to unpack the tricky dynamic of transactional parenting and behavior: what it is, how it shows up, and most importantly, how to shift out of it. From “I let you go out, so you should clean your room” to “I do everything for you, and you won't even help me out,” we explore how as well-meaning parents we can end up in a tit-for-tat cycle that erodes trust and connection.It's not only us as parents who can experience this and feel unseen. Believe it or not, our teens might be experiencing the same thing. Miscommunication, mismatched expectations, and unspoken needs can keep both parent and teen feeling unseen.This is a compassionate, eye-opening episode for any parent trying to find their way back to genuine connection, without keeping the score. Not everything has to feel like a negotiation. Let's explore this topic more in today's episode.In this episode on feeling used by your teen, we cover:What transactional parenting is and why it often shows up during tough seasons;How the “I give, you give” pattern damages trust and connection;What to say when you feel used or taken for granted by your teen;How to spot (and shift) transactional tendencies in your parenting;The importance of modeling healthy, reciprocal relationships;Why it's compliance but connection that is at the foundation for long-term change;And more!Looking for support?

Manipulation or Miscommunication? Jurors Hear Karen Read's Final Texts to O'Keefe What if the only thing they can prove is that she was drunk? Defense Attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, joins Tony Bruski to dissect the tangled web of Karen Read's statements, intoxication, and the dangerously blurred lines of memory and guilt. From fluctuating drink counts to the question of blackouts, the conversation unravels how intoxication is being used both as a weapon and a shield in this case. Motta doesn't just analyze her words—he lays out how the defense can turn chaos into reasonable doubt. This isn't about proving who's likable—it's about whether a jury can convict someone whose every retelling contradicts the last. The deeper you go, the more disturbing it gets: relationships layered with manipulation, emotional volatility, and the raw reality of alcohol-fueled confusion. How much of what Karen says is trauma and how much is strategy?

If you have ever felt disconnected with your spouse- particularly in the area of communication- this episode is especially for you.  Steven and his wife, Tracy, walked through more than two decades of disconnection. Twenty-five years is a long time to feel lost in your marriage. To feel like no matter what you try, you just can't find your way back to each other. They loved God. They were raising six children together. They wanted their marriage to thrive. But somehow, they kept missing each other. Their communication felt off, and it wasn't just about words—it was about how every part of their life as a couple felt misaligned. Marriage Problems After 25 Years: Feeling Stuck and Disconnected Steven and Tracy did what many couples in their situation try to do. They sought help. They met with counselors and pastors. They heard wise advice. But for some reason, it just didn't seem to stick in their day-to-day lives. They felt like they were doing all the right things, yet their relationship still felt strained. The alignment they hoped for—spiritually, emotionally, practically—kept slipping through their fingers. It's hard to describe how wearying that becomes over time. You start to wonder if it will ever change, or if you're destined to just live alongside each other, rather than truly enjoy the beauty of partnership that marriage is meant to be. Signs of Hope: When One Spouse Begins to Change What began to open things up wasn't what Steven expected. He started to notice a softness in Tracy. A new warmth in her communication. She seemed more open, more willing to engage in conversations in a way that felt safe and inviting. And that tenderness in her sparked something in him. He realized, deep in his heart, that he wanted to experience that same kind of shift. He didn't want to keep circling the same frustrations. He wanted his heart to change too—not just so things would feel better, but because he longed to love her well. There's something so beautiful about that. Sometimes, it's the gentle transformation in one spouse that awakens the hope in the other. And that's exactly what happened for Steven. How Focusing on Personal Growth Can Transform Your Marriage What truly began to move the needle for Steven was recognizing where his focus had been all along. For many years, like so many of us, he had been looking at his wife's responses, her choices, her attitude. But when he started to reflect more deeply, he realized the bigger breakthrough would come from within himself. That shift—from focusing outward to focusing inward—was a game changer. Instead of waiting for Tracy to change, he opened his heart to the changes God wanted to do in him. He began to see how his own patterns of thought and communication were shaping their dynamic. And as he leaned into that growth, the atmosphere of their marriage began to change. Learning to Communicate Better in Marriage Steven described it as learning to dance. For years, he and Tracy were moving to different rhythms. Even when they had good intentions, they kept stepping on each other's toes. When you don't know the steps, no matter how much you love the other person, the dance feels clumsy. Missteps are frustrating and discouraging. But as Steven grew in understanding and grace, he began to move in rhythm with his wife. He learned how to lead with humility and gentleness. And as he did, Tracy responded. She became more willing to follow his lead—not because she was forced to, but because it felt safe and loving to do so. Their dance transformed from awkward steps to something fluid, connected, and beautiful. Why Humility Is Key to a Stronger Marriage What I find so deeply inspiring about Steven's journey is the way he embraced humility. He didn't cling to pride. He didn't stay stuck in frustration, demanding that his wife change first. Instead, he knelt before God—both literally and figuratively—and opened his heart to being transformed himself. That posture of surrender made space for God to work powerfully in his life and marriage. And it's a reminder for all of us: no matter how broken things feel, when we choose humility and invite God into our hearts and homes, He begins to weave a story of redemption that's more beautiful than we could have imagined. What a Healthy Marriage Looks Like After Healing Today, Steven and Tracy still face challenges, but what's different now is how they handle them. What used to take days, weeks, or even months to resolve now takes minutes—sometimes even seconds. They've learned to recognize when they're drifting out of alignment and come back quickly to unity and connection. Their marriage isn't just surviving anymore. It's thriving. There's joy. There's intimacy. There's a deep excitement about what God is continuing to do in their relationship. It's a miracle of grace, truly. There Is Hope for Your Marriage, Too Friend, if you find yourself where Steven once was—tired, discouraged, wondering if things will ever change—I want you to hear this clearly: there is a way forward. Take courage. Let hope rise in your heart. Open yourself to the possibility that the story isn't over—and that the next chapter could be more beautiful than you've imagined.   With love,   Belah & Team   PS - Want to know more about the current health of your marriage?

Whether you're forming your first sentences in a new language or giving a presentation in the language you've spoken your whole life, “It's about human connection,” she says. “What really matters is are we connecting to our audience… the human being[s] in front of us?”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McMahon joins host Matt Abrahams to explore strategies for improving our communication — not by finding the right words, but by finding the right mindset. From active listening and cultural awareness to quieting nerves and building confidence, McMahon's practical approaches help communicators connect more authentically in any language or context.Episode Reference Links:Lindsay McMahon All Ears English Ep.8 Don't Get Lost in Translation: How Non-Native Speakers Can Communicate With Confidence Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:44) - Common Challenges for English Learners (03:09) - Overcoming the Confidence Catch-22 (05:00) - Communication Lessons from CEOs (05:48) - The Art of Listening (07:35) - Idioms and Hidden Meanings (08:53) - Context Shapes Communication (10:40) - Cultural Analogies and Miscommunication (11:46) - Entering a New Role or Culture (14:05) - Immersive Language Learning (17:20) - The Final Three Questions (21:39) - Conclusion *****Stay Informed on Stanford's world changing research by signing up for the Stanford ReportJoin our upcoming 200th episode live event April 14 & 15Become a Faster Smarter Supporter by joining TFTS Premium.

While most people treat change like an unwanted software update, Nellie Wartoft builds the system that makes it work. As the founder of Tiger Hall, she's on a global mission to turn resistance into results. From Europe to Asia to the U.S., Nellie's seen it all—and she's here to share why change isn't the enemy, but badly handled change definitely is. In this two-part series, we'll talk about cross-cultural leadership, why change efforts so often crash and burn, and how to make sure yours doesn't.Key Highlights of Our InterviewHating SharePoint and Finding a Better Way“The inefficiency of tools like SharePoint highlighted a fundamental gap: employees struggling to align with HQ's vision. Miscommunication bred resistance and fatigue, even when both sides had good intentions. The question arose—why can't change communication be as engaging as social media or Spotify?”The Universal Human Side of Change“No matter where you are in the world, the human psyche reacts similarly to change—fear, chaos, uncertainty, and emotion are universal experiences. Change fatigue and resistance aren't cultural anomalies; they're deeply human responses shared across geographies.”The Ego Factor: A Leadership Killer“High-ego, high-fear leaders stifle transformation. They resist feedback, take criticism personally, and foster a top-down, do-as-I-say culture. Modern transformation demands collaborative leadership that embraces input, fosters trust, and thrives on dialogue—not outdated command-and-control styles.”“Short-Term Results vs. Long-Term Vision”“U.S. organizations prioritize quarterly results and trend-driven decisions, like the AI boom. Meanwhile, Asian companies often take a more measured, long-term approach, rooted in heritage and identity. Both approaches have their strengths but lead to vastly different paces of execution.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Nellie Wartoft  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Keep communicating—because no business thrives in isolation. You need customers, and they need to hear from you. You often rely on partners, whether they are employees, suppliers, or collaborators in government or other sectors. Your family and friends also play a crucial role in your journey. The key is to ensure alignment between your actions and their expectations. Miscommunication or misalignment is what leads to conflict. So, if there's one essential principle to follow, it's this: keep communicating.

In this conversation, ⁠Krish Palaniappan⁠ and ⁠Jason Crum⁠ discuss the impact of AI on software development, exploring skepticism towards AI predictions, societal implications, and the future of jobs. They delve into corporate spending on AI, the quality of content generated by AI, and the importance of talent acquisition in tech companies. The discussion highlights the dual perspectives of developers and non-developers regarding AI's role in their professional and personal lives, emphasizing the need for adaptation in a rapidly changing technological landscape. Takeaways AI is predicted to take over many developer tasks. Skepticism exists regarding the timeline of AI advancements. Investment in AI is driven by fear of missing out. Companies are hiring top talent to leverage AI effectively. Repetitive tasks are most susceptible to AI automation. Quality of AI-generated content is a concern. The future of jobs in AI is uncertain and complex. AI tools can enhance productivity for developers. Corporate spending on AI is a significant trend. Automating tasks can save time, but AI tools may not always deliver expected results. Understanding the underlying technology is crucial when using AI tools. AI's ability to create is limited by existing data and patterns. Reliance on AI tools can lead to a decline in critical thinking skills. Creativity in art and music may not be fully replicable by AI. AI can assist in repetitive tasks but may struggle with complex problem-solving. Human intuition and reasoning are still essential in many fields. Relying too much on AI can diminish our intellectual engagement. Small businesses can thrive with fewer resources due to AI. The disparity between the wealthy and the poor may worsen with AI. Meaningful contributions to society are essential in a tech-driven world. Adapting to change is crucial in the workforce, particularly with evolving technologies. Continuous learning is essential to remain relevant in the job market. AI is transforming job roles, especially in areas that are repetitive and easily automated.

In this episode of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers welcomes Chris Hooten, a LinkedIn Top Facilitation Voice and certified neuro-mindfulness coach. With over 15 years of experience, Chris specializes in helping neurodiverse organizations foster inclusive communication, leadership, and workplace strategies. Eric begins the episode with a personal update, sharing his ongoing journey of overcoming burnout and a recent formal autism evaluation. He also highlights his interviews on Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Entrepreneur on Fire, as well as the pressing need for advocacy in the face of recent policy changes that threaten diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The core discussion revolves around communication challenges in neurodivergent teams and how traditional workplace structures often fail to accommodate neurodiverse employees. Chris introduces the 4D Model of Neuroinclusive Communication—a framework designed to improve communication by making it more descriptive, deliberate, direct, and diverse. They discuss common workplace miscommunication issues, the pitfalls of platforms like Slack for neurodivergent individuals, and how managers can foster psychological safety. Chris also explores the systemic barriers that impact neurodivergent and marginalized individuals in professional spaces. They emphasize shifting away from medicalized, deficit-based narratives about neurodiversity and adopting an intersectional, affirming approach that values lived experiences. Eric and Chris conclude by reflecting on the evolving nature of work, the need for workplace wellness, and how neurodivergent individuals are often the first to recognize unsustainable work environments. Chris shares insights on fostering genuine inclusion rather than performative DEI efforts and provides strategies for improving workplace culture.

In this episode, host Mike Simmons dives into the complexities of leadership—how to lead up to difficult leaders, work effectively across teams, and lead teams with clarity and purpose. Mike shares personal experiences, leadership philosophies, and actionable strategies to help listeners navigate leadership challenges at all levels. Key Quotes: "Leadership starts with self. If you're looking for leadership, start with a mirror." "If you think different, you can do different. If you do different, you can be different." "Sometimes, the hardest part of leadership is managing the assumptions we make about others." Episode Summary (50 Words): Leadership isn't just about managing others—it's about self-awareness, clear communication, and building trust. In this episode, Mike Simmons explores how to lead up to difficult leaders, collaborate across teams, and inspire those we manage. He shares tools and insights to navigate leadership challenges with confidence, clarity, and a service-oriented mindset. 5 Key Takeaways: 1. Leading Up to Leadership Challenges Understand your leader's background, concerns, and goals before making assumptions. Improve communication by aligning with their priorities and preferred methods. If a leader is ineffective, decide if you can help—or if it's time to move on. 2. Building Strong Cross-Team Relationships Empathy is key: understand what other teams care about and what challenges they face. Transparent communication fosters collaboration, even in competitive environments. Align team efforts with business goals to create a unified direction. 3. Leading Your Team with Clarity Get to know your team's goals, communication styles, and career aspirations. Provide opportunities for cross-functional learning to build leadership skills. Lead with transparency, trust, and a willingness to adapt. 4. The Importance of Effective Communication Leadership is built on clear, purposeful communication. Miscommunication happens—what's said, what's heard, and what's remembered are rarely the same. Tools like structured feedback loops and regular check-ins prevent misunderstandings. 5. Leadership as an Act of Service Leadership isn't about control—it's about enabling others to succeed. Sometimes, leaders struggle due to insecurity; build trust to help them delegate. If leadership doesn't align with your values, it's okay to step away. Final Thoughts: Leadership is a journey of continuous growth. Whether leading up, across, or down, it starts with self-awareness and service. This episode provides practical insights to help you lead with confidence, no matter your position. Learn. Think. and Act. with us every Sunday. Our weekly email helps leaders accelerate their impact at work, in life, and within their families.

In our videos, podcasts, and other things that we do, we sometimes get feedback from people that make comments that leave us wondering "how in the world did they come to that impression?" or "what podcast are they listening to?"  Or they interpret something from the podcast, newsletter or video that in reality had nothing to do with what we were even stating. People see and hear what they want to based upon their experiences, emotions and many times what they are going through.The human brain is wired to interpret information based on past experiences, emotions, and current circumstances. This phenomenon is called confirmation bias — the tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information that aligns with our existing beliefs and feelings.We often do this in our marriages as well which can cause great harm or damage, especially if there is not open communication, or our pride and ego is too high. Also, one of the reasons why this is so serious is Miscommunication is one of the top three causes of divorce, according to a study by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers?In this episode, we discuss this important topic and solutions as well as statistics to help you combat this in you marriage.This episode sponsored by vitalhealthproductsusa.comIf you are feeling like something is off with your energy or health, check out all of the great vitamins and dietary supplements to help you improve your overall health and wellbeing.

If you're finding your designs are constantly being questioned or dismissed, then today's episode is for you! On any given day, interior designs have a lot to keep track of.

“Let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” - Ephesians 5:33Love and respect are often conveyed in the words that spouses choose to communicate. Those words can have a big impact on the marriage relationship. Kathleen Edelman joins us to discuss choosing the right words for your spouse.Kathleen Edelman is the author of “I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.” She is certified in biblical studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over thirty years coaching clients in communication.The Key to Healthy Communication in MarriageCommunication styles are the key to understanding one another. There's a big gray area between what we say and what our spouse hears. Each temperament speaks its own language, and we must apply it to become fluent in our spouse's language.Many marital conflicts appear to be about money, parenting, or household responsibilities, but at their core, they stem from miscommunication. Recognizing that your spouse's temperament affects how they express and receive information is the first step toward reducing misunderstandings.One of the biggest communication pitfalls is assumption—assuming that your spouse speaks and understands your language. That's not true. We each speak our own language and must become fluent in our spouse's language.Another common trap is operating out of our weaknesses rather than our strengths. Ask yourself: “What part did I play in this miscommunication?”“How can I choose differently to stay in my strengths?”Most miscommunication is not intentional, she emphasizes. Rather, it's a result of speaking different emotional and verbal languages.The Power of Words: Choosing to Build Up, Not Tear DownEphesians 4:29 reminds us:"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."Our words hold incredible power. They can either build up or tear down our spouse. Learning to communicate in a way that blesses rather than wounds is a game changer in marriage.Listening is a critical skill in communication, and there are three key practices for improving it:The Power of the Pause—Before responding, take a moment to reflect. Instead of reacting to what was said, focus on why it was said. Listening to Understand—Rather than formulating your response while your spouse is talking, actively listen to grasp their perspective. Responding, Not Reacting—Choose words carefully, ensuring they are constructive rather than defensive.We should desire that every word that comes out of our mouths be a gift to the person we speak to.Of course, it's also crucial to remember that communication is more than words—it includes body language, tone, and facial expressions. Our temperament even affects how we express ourselves nonverbally. Everything you do is motivated by the design God gave you. Understanding how our spouse interprets our nonverbal cues can help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.Understanding Temperaments in MarriageA significant takeaway from Kathleen's work is the importance of understanding temperaments—both our own and our spouse's. Kathleen's book includes an inventory to help couples identify their temperament, which can be a game changer in communication.Each temperament has specific needs that shape how they engage in communication:Yellows (Sanguine)—Need fun, people, and spontaneity. They may struggle with feeling restricted.Reds (Choleric)—Need goals, control, and results. They want to be part of decision-making.Blues (Melancholic)—Need security and order. They may be hesitant to spend money without planning.Greens (Phlegmatic)—Need balance and peace. They want to avoid conflict and seek compromise.When couples recognize these differences, it fosters empathy and prevents unnecessary frustration.Money is a significant source of marital conflict, but these disagreements often stem from temperament differences more than financial realities.Yellows love generosity but also crave financial security. They may struggle with balancing saving and spontaneous giving.Reds want financial goals and a clear plan for achieving them.Blues prioritize security and tend to be more cautious with money.Greens seek balance and prefer avoiding financial stress.Understanding why your spouse approaches money how they do can foster mutual respect and teamwork. Instead of seeing their perspective as frustrating, you can recognize it as their God-given design.Keeping Communication Strong Over the YearsAs years pass, spouses may drift apart if they stop investing in communication. That's why couples are encouraged to stay in dating mode:Remember why you fell in love. Remember when you were dating—you put your best of yourself forward. Keep doing that. Look for the best in your spouse. Instead of focusing on their weaknesses, celebrate their strengths. Avoid complacency. Once you become content, weaknesses start to show up. Then, instead of appreciating differences, you try to change your spouse.When couples continue dating and choose to love each other through words and deeds, their marriages stay strong.The ultimate goal is authenticity—becoming exactly who God designed you to be while learning to love your spouse for who they are. When you reach authenticity, you're free. You're not trying to be someone else or change your spouse. You're showing up as yourself, using words that honor God.The Bible contains over 120 verses about words, making it clear how we communicate matters. When we build up rather than tear down, we strengthen our marriage, our family, and our faith.By understanding how God designed us, learning to listen, and choosing words that build up, we can create marriages filled with grace, love, and true understanding.If you want to transform your marriage through better communication, consider picking up a copy of Kathleen's book, I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:We have the opportunity to buy a home from my friend's father for $300,000, which is listed at $350,000.

Part Two. Change is inevitable, but doing it well? That's another story. Nellie Wartoft has spent years helping leaders across Europe, Asia, and now the U.S. figure it out. As the founder of Tiger Hall, she's built a tech-powered playbook for making change work. In this two-part series, we'll talk about cross-cultural leadership, why change efforts so often crash and burn, and how to make sure yours doesn't. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Hating SharePoint and Finding a Better Way “The inefficiency of tools like SharePoint highlighted a fundamental gap: employees struggling to align with HQ's vision. Miscommunication bred resistance and fatigue, even when both sides had good intentions. The question arose—why can't change communication be as engaging as social media or Spotify?” The Universal Human Side of Change “No matter where you are in the world, the human psyche reacts similarly to change—fear, chaos, uncertainty, and emotion are universal experiences. Change fatigue and resistance aren't cultural anomalies; they're deeply human responses shared across geographies.” The Ego Factor: A Leadership Killer “High-ego, high-fear leaders stifle transformation. They resist feedback, take criticism personally, and foster a top-down, do-as-I-say culture. Modern transformation demands collaborative leadership that embraces input, fosters trust, and thrives on dialogue—not outdated command-and-control styles.” “Short-Term Results vs. Long-Term Vision” “U.S. organizations prioritize quarterly results and trend-driven decisions, like the AI boom. Meanwhile, Asian companies often take a more measured, long-term approach, rooted in heritage and identity. Both approaches have their strengths but lead to vastly different paces of execution.” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Nellie Wartoft Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

Cheo Rose-Washington had an accident that ruptured his knee cap tendons. Then a medical miscommunication between healthcare providers led to him rupturing those same tendons again! That experience led to him deciding to try to do something to improve medical “hand-offs” (the sharing of a patient's information and status from one healthcare provider to another). Hand-off mistakes are due to a range of communication problems. Cheo founded the company Hand-off to try to fix this all-too-common problem. We talk about: How it felt to experience such a serious mistake; the common types of miscommunications and misunderstandings that happen in faulty hand-offs; what Cheo is doing with his startup.

Michelle and Lauren dive into the “inauguration hangover”—that strange, lingering feeling after the political shift. It's not just about the events themselves but how they've impacted their sistership. Miscommunication crept in, turning what should've been simple conversations into mini squabbles. When the world feels chaotic, even the closest connections can feel strained. They share how they've worked through the tension—sometimes with humor, sometimes with frustration—and how they've learned to communicate better despite it all. Because in times like these, if you don't laugh, you'll cry (and maybe both). They also get real about misinformation, media overload, and why slowing down is the only way to keep from losing it completely. This episode isn't just about surviving the chaos; it's about finding peace in the middle and holding on to what truly matters. Hot Topics: Elon Musk, Dark (Netflix), and Classical Bangers.
