Hope in Action: Leadership Lessons from Cynthia Rivard on Navigating Change and Inspiring ImpactIn a world marked by uncertainty and rapid transformation, the need for authentic, visionary leadership has never been greater. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sat down with Cynthia Rivard, author of Hope for a New Era: Turning the Tide Love and Leadership Through Turbulent Times, CEO of Cynthia Rivard Strategic Consulting, and Founder of the Global Rising Tide Foundation. Cynthia's work focuses on empowering leaders to foster hope, embrace change, and drive meaningful impact within their organizations and communities. This blog post distills the core principles shared during their conversation, offering actionable strategies for leaders to turn hope into action.The Core Principles of Transformational LeadershipCynthia emphasizes that hope isn't just a passive feeling; it's faith in a better future that drives action. As a leader, she believes that hope begins with crafting a clear vision for a better future and taking deliberate, small steps toward that vision. By acting on hope, leaders can inspire others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of empowerment throughout their teams and communities. Cynthia suggests that leaders should tap into their intuition and wisdom to guide their actions, sharing their journey openly and transparently to inspire those around them.One of the biggest challenges in leadership is overcoming resistance to change. Cynthia explains that resistance is deeply rooted in our subconscious, a survival mechanism that can hold leaders back if left unexamined. She encourages leaders to be aware of their fears and discomforts around change and take small, manageable actions to disrupt that inertia. Modeling vulnerability as a leader, Cynthia believes, helps create an environment where teams feel safe to embrace change, experiment, and grow together.Lastly, Cynthia speaks about the importance of fostering self-love and confidence in leadership. True confidence, according to Cynthia, is not about bravado, but about self-acceptance and self-compassion. She emphasizes that when leaders embody self-worth, they empower their teams to do the same, creating a culture of resilience and collaboration. By cultivating these qualities in themselves and their teams, leaders can build a foundation of trust and psychological safety that fuels innovation and success.About Cynthia RivardCynthia Rivard is the CEO of Cynthia Rivard Strategic Consulting and an author of Hope for a New Era: Turning the Tide Love and Leadership Through Turbulent Times. Cynthia's work is dedicated to empowering leaders to embrace hope, navigate change, and drive transformational impact within their organizations and communities.

This conversation delves into the significance of organizational culture, emphasizing its role in staff retention, employee engagement, and overall organizational health. Phil and Jim discuss the intentional strategies employed at High 5 to foster a positive culture, the importance of personal connections, and how challenges can test and strengthen that culture. They highlight the need for organizations to prioritize relationships and create environments conducive to growth, ultimately leading to a more engaged and committed workforce. Culture is integral to what we do. Creating conditions suitable for growth is essential. Modeling good culture is more impactful than direct advice. Building connections and relationships is key to retention. Simple gestures can significantly enhance workplace culture. People leave jobs due to feelings, not just salary. Intentional strategies are necessary for fostering culture. Personal connections enhance team dynamics and morale. Culture is tested during challenging times, revealing its strength. A strong culture can coexist with financial success.

In this episode of The Diana Show, I'm getting real about something so many of us struggle with—but rarely say out loud: investing in ourselves.Why is it that we'll move mountains for everyone else in our lives, but when it comes to our own dreams and goals, we hesitate?

In today's episode I want to share what happens "between the lines" of becoming a professional model. The things models go through that sometimes aren't talked about enough.
The topic focuses on Cognitive Resilience Modeling, an advanced strategy for preventing human error by designing systems that support mental adaptability, attention control, and recovery under pressure. By integrating neuroscience, human factors, and systems thinking, this approach goes beyond compliance to build error-tolerant environments. It aims to reduce mental overload, anticipate cognitive breakdowns, and enhance decision-making through more innovative interfaces, adaptive tools, and training focused on real-world complexity. The goal is not just to avoid errors but to build a resilient workforce capable of sustaining high performance in dynamic, high-stakes settings.To learn more, visit:https://humanerrorsolutions.com/Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/ginette-collazo/

Part 1 How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen by Joanna Faber SummarySummary of "How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen" by Joanna Faber Overview: This book is a practical guide for parents, caregivers, and educators seeking effective communication techniques to connect with young children. Joanna Faber, along with her co-author Julie King, builds on the foundational ideas from the original work by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, adapting their strategies to cater specifically to the needs and behaviors of little kids. The authors emphasize the importance of empathetic communication, respectful interaction, and practical problem-solving. Key Themes and Techniques: Empathy First: Understanding and validating a child's feelings before addressing behavior is crucial. Children respond better when they feel understood. Use phrases that acknowledge their emotions, such as "I can see you're upset," to create a connection. Use of Playfulness: Engaging with children through playful language and scenarios makes interactions more enjoyable and less confrontational. Introducing humor or silliness can diffuse tension and open pathways to communication. Clear and Simple Instructions: Kids respond better to straightforward and concise directions. Clarity helps minimize misunderstandings. For instance, instead of saying, "Please clean up your toys," you might say, "Let's put the blocks in the box!" Collaborative Problem Solving: Involve children in finding solutions to conflicts or frustrations. This empowers them and fosters a sense of ownership over decisions. Ask questions like, "What do you think we should do?" to promote critical thinking. Modeling Behavior: Children learn by observing adults. Modeling respectful, calm, and empathetic behavior sets a standard for how they interact with others. When handling emotions, reflect on how your reactions shape the child's responses. Setting Limits with Love: Establishing boundaries is essential, but it should be done in a gentle and loving manner. Avoiding harsh statements and instead offering choices can lead to better compliance. For example, instead of saying "You can't do that!" try "You can choose to play in the sandbox or read a book. What do you want to do?" Listening Actively: Foster a two-way communication where children feel safe to express themselves. Active listening helps children perceive their voices as significant and valued. Techniques include repeating back what they say, reflecting feelings, and asking follow-up questions. Conclusion: By incorporating these techniques, caregivers can foster a positive, communicative environment that encourages cooperation, understanding, and respect between adults and children. "How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen" serves as a valuable resource, equipping adults with the skills to enhance their interactions with the little ones in their lives.Part 2 How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen AuthorJoanna Faber is an accomplished author and educator, known primarily for her work in child development and communication between parents and children.

We're living through a time of extraordinary change to the US energy landscape. As Robbie Orvis, Senior Director of Modeling and Analysis at Energy Innovation argues, the combination of surging demand for electricity with new policies designed to slow the build out of cheaper, cleaner, faster energy sources like wind, solar, and batteries will result in higher utility bills, fewer jobs, and slower economic growth. And that will impact everyone, likely in more ways than you'd expect. Orvis joins The Climate Pod this week for an in-depth examination of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. How much less clean energy will actually be built in the coming years? How much could it increase energy costs? What will be the economic losses suffered as a result? Will international momentum towards clean energy continue in absence of the United States' leadership? Orvis answers all these questions and more as we get into the weeds of the new energy environment.

What if I told you that while the world has undergone profound changes, our leadership approaches have remained largely stagnant? What if, instead of relying on hierarchical structures and top-down directives, leaders embraced a more effective approach based on trust and inspiration? In this episode of the Insight Out, I have the pleasure of sitting down with none other than Stephen M.R. Covey, a renowned author and an authority on leadership. We dive deep into the transformative power of trust and how it serves as a cornerstone of inspiration in leadership. Covey draws a stark contrast between the antiquated command and control style and the trust and inspire approach, which he passionately advocates for as being crucial in today's world, especially when dealing with knowledge workers. Throughout our conversation, Covey shares personal anecdotes and real-world examples that bring his concepts to life. Such examples are the leadership styles of Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella and the leadership approach of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan which epitomizes the principles we discuss. He then breaks down the three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader—modeling, trusting, and inspiring. Each of these plays a vital role in not just leading but empowering others to reach their full potential. Covey doesn't just leave us with theory; he offers practical advice on how to build agreements that lay the foundation for a collaborative and empowered workplace. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and let's uncover how trust and inspiration can reshape the landscape of leadership In this episode, you will learn the following: Leadership and its impact on individuals Shifting from command and control to trust and inspire leadership The principles of trust and inspire contrasted with command and control The importance of self-awareness and a shift towards trust and inspire leadership The barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader The three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader: modeling, trusting, and inspiring In This Episode: [10:20] Tapping into untapped potential [18:08] Command and control vs. trust and inspire [20:37] Trust and inspire [25:02] Barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader [35:23] Inspiring confidence in others [38:35] Trust as human motivation [40:17] Microsoft's Satya Nadella as a trust and inspire leader [41:32] Modeling behavior [43:54] Inspiring leadership [45:24] The power of trust [52:01] Building trust through Co-Creation [54:00] The leadership style of Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom [55:02] The power of modeling in leadership [59:46] Stephen M.R.

R. Covey [22:10] "To operate with a command and control style is like trying to play tennis with a golf club; it's not relevant to the game being played."- Stephen M. R. Covey [36:25] “Leadership is communicating people's worth and potential so clearly. That they come to see it in themselves.” Billy Samoa] [47:22] "When you trust people, they grow, they develop, and they become their best selves because they develop new capabilities." - Stephen M.

“It's the perfect combo between being a beauty and a beast, and understanding I can separate the two. Knowing who I am in the ring is just an animal, who works hard, been in camp for 8 weeks and then there's Alycia who wants to do her hair, get dressed up, uplift others- it really throws people off.” Alycia Baumgardner, Undisputed super featherweight boxing champion With her highly anticipated return to the ring streaming live on Netflix July 11, undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner joins The Pivot Podcast for a raw and revealing conversation just days before fight night. Known for her knockout power and unapologetic confidence, Alycia opens up about what this moment means—and the mindset it takes to stay at the top. Alycia opens up to Ryan, Channing and Fred about her journey—from overcoming early setbacks and self-doubt to rising through the ranks and capturing titles with flair both in and out of the ring. Her humble beginnings grounded by having her father as her boxing coach and life coach engrained the value of hard work, chasing dreams and being resilient. She breaks down the emotional moment of becoming world champion while sharing the heartbreak of losing her father on this journey to top of women's boxing and how it has reinvigorated her motivation beyond the ring. Going from Amatuer to Champ, we talk about the pivotal moments that shaped Alycia's boxing style and fueled her fierce determination, molding a certain part of her approach after Mike Tyson. Being mentally tough with a strong mindset, Alycia shares how she handles pressure preparing for a fight, walking to the ring and the second the bell rings how everything turns from fuel to focus. With a new trainer and signed to Jake Paul's MVP boxing, it's all about redefining women's sports, sharing her perspective on on being a champion in a male-dominated sport and paving the way for future generations. We also dive into her passions away from the ring, with mental wellness advocacy, crafting her personal brand, fashion, modeling and how visiting Africa truly changed her. This conversation is a blueprint for channelling discipline, resilience, and confidence—no matter what your arena may be and also having the courage to rewrite your own narrative. It's high stakes come July 11th, but Alycia is more than ready for the chance to be on the biggest stage at Madison Square Garden with the world watching on Netflix as she defends her title and furthers a historical movement in women's sports.
