Press a button. Coffee in three seconds.Or: grind, measure, tamp, froth, wait.Which morning do you actually want?THE ARTICLE THAT STARTED ITHana Kabele Gala, PhD wrote "Screw Your Efficient Mornings."She had a fully automatic espresso machine. Then a Nespresso. Five or six cups a morning, because it was so easy.Then she stayed with friends in Germany who owned no coffee machine at all. Just a small percolator."Time slowed down. We were just there. It wasn't giving me anxiety. It felt like freedom.""I had pushed the efficiency so far that I had killed the one part of the ritual that was actually mine.""I don't want my coffee faster. I want the minutes back."FOUR AREAS THAT MAKE US HUMANIdeally a morning touches all four. Realistically, one or two. That is enough.PHYSICAL. 15 to 20 minutes. Jumping jacks to wake the body up, then arms, belly, legs. No fixed plan. "I feel my body, I feel grounded, and it's really beautiful."Over the summer it was the mountain behind the house instead. 30 minutes up, 350 metres, then the lake, the birds, the wood cracking.SPIRITUAL. "For me, spirituality is often connected to nature."Not a religious person. But: "there are things which I can't explain, and there is this belief that there's something which is bigger than us."Last week in Wrexham, North Wales, a sign at the cathedral door: people of all faiths and no faith are welcome.EMOTIONAL. One or two minutes lying in bed. Grateful to wake up, to feel the body, to embrace yourself before the day starts.Then the people. A habit borrowed from a friend: a short Monday morning message to those closest to you."Even if you live alone, think about the people who check in with you, the people who are there for you whenever you need them."INTELLECTUAL. Bernhard built his own morning briefing app. AI, coaching, executive education.Plus one item deliberately outside his field every day. Recently: the fine networks fungi use to communicate across a forest."I find it always fascinating to learn something new every single day."THE EXPERIMENTSeveral coaching clients turned up stressed. Powering on with energy, but it was showing in their reactions.Bernhard asked about their mornings. Several had no routine at all.So he set them a two-week experiment."After two weeks they came to me and said: Bernhard, wow, that is really amazing. It changed so much of what I'm doing and how I feel on that day."Not ninety minutes. Ten or fifteen."When you run out of your home in the morning completely stressed, I can promise you that your day won't get less stressful, rather the opposite.""But when you find yourself again in the morning, when you're grounded, when you are yourself, your resilience will increase massively."YOUR TURNStart today. Not next week. Ten minutes.Run it for two weeks, then assess. Did anything change?And write in. Bernhard would like to share listeners' morning routines on the podcast.HANA'S ARTICLE: hanakabelegala.substack.com/p/screw-your-efficient-morningsHANA ON LINKEDIN: linkedin.com/in/hanakabelegalaLINKS: bernhardkerres.com | roleplays.ai#MorningRoutine #Rituals #Leadership #Coaching #Resilience #Coffee

Dr. Don and Professor Ben talk about the risks from reheating milk from Nespresso Aeroccino left in the refrigerator for a few days. Dr. Don - not risky

Schrijven jullie gewoon weer mee?In aflevering 7 van FC Merkcircus duiken merkstrateeg Jos Govaart en marketingjournalist Bas Hakker weer in drie stellingen over merken, marketing en reputatie. Met dit keer opvallend veel behoefte om eerst even door de marketingpraat heen te prikken. We beginnen met een nieuwe rubriek in wording: oude reclames terugkijken. Via de schatkamer van Beeld & Geluid komen we uit bij de Heineken-commercials met Bert Heerink. Reclames waarin sfeer, muziek en merkbouw nog uitgebreid de ruimte kregen. Misschien deden merken vroeger soms wat weinig activatie, maar merk bouwen konden ze wel.Stelling 1: Boomer marketing kan weleens groot wordenDe 50-plusser wordt in veel marketingplannen nog altijd behoorlijk genegeerd, terwijl juist deze groep veel koopkracht heeft. Dus: tijd voor ‘Generatie Prime'? Jos ziet er wel iets in, maar heeft vooral moeite met het hokjesdenken. Want waarom zou je jongerenmarketing bestrijden door vervolgens ouderenmarketing uit te vinden? Zijn pleidooi: begin bij de markt en de potentiële kopersgroep. Kijk eerst wie jouw product überhaupt kan kopen en probeer die groep zo breed mogelijk te bereiken. Pas daarna kun je bepalen of een specifieke doelgroep extra aandacht nodig heeft. Oftewel: minder generatiehuppeldepup, meer gewoon goed marketingonderzoek.Stelling 2: Bouwen aan een merk van een goed doel is is niet veel anders dan werken voor BMW Een onderzoek naar de sterkste goede doelenmerken levert meteen discussie op. Want is de Voedselbank een sterk merk omdat het merkwerk zo goed is, of omdat vrijwel iedereen sympathie heeft voor het onderwerp? Jos vindt het onderzoek vooral een sympathie-lijstje en geen echte meting van merkkracht. Maar de onderliggende stelling blijft interessant. De mechanismen van merkbouw zijn voor een goed doel namelijk grotendeels hetzelfde als voor een commercieel merk: mentale beschikbaarheid, herkenbaarheid, consistentie en distinctive brand assets tellen overal mee. Toch zijn er verschillen. Bij goede doelen draait veel om vertrouwen: komt mijn geld daadwerkelijk terecht waar het hoort? Bovendien koop je bij BMW uiteindelijk zelf het product, terwijl bij een goed doel de donateur niet de ‘gebruiker' is. En ja: ook goede doelen voeren onderling gewoon een stevig commercieel gevecht om aandacht en donateurs.Stelling 3: Sonos wil af van de luisternerdsSonos komt met een nieuwe merkcampagne waarin minder wordt gepraat over techniek en meer over wat geluid met mensen doet. Is dat een koerswijziging? Volgens Jos eigenlijk niet. Sonos was nooit het ultieme merk voor audiofielen. Het was juist het slimme compromis tussen goed geluid, mooi design en vooral veel gemak. Een soort Nespresso van de audio, kortom. De ellende begon toen Sonos precies dat gemak ondermijnde met een problematische app-update. De opdracht voor het merk is daarom niet zo ingewikkeld: terug naar wat het ooit sterk maakte. Een mooi systeem. Goed geluid. Geen gedoe. En vooral een app die gewoon werkt.

His work combines consumer and market analytics with real estate economics to identify growth opportunities and translate brand strategy into high-performing physical retail environments.Prior to Nespresso, Anatoliy held a senior development and facilities leadership role with EssilorLuxottica, supporting a large multi-brand retail portfolio that included Lens Crafters, Sunglass Hut, and Ray-Ban.Throughout his career, he has focused on the intersection of real estate, customer experience, and business performance—building strategies that treat physical retail not simply as a distribution channel, but as an important driver of customer acquisition, brand engagement, and long-term growth.* * * *SHOW INTRO:Welcome to Episode 92 of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast and my conversation with Anatoliy Korolenko – who leads the Real Estate and Development for Nespresso USA.In every episode we follow our catch phrase about having “Dynamic Dialogues About DATA: Design, Architecture, Technology and the Arts.”And as we continue on this journey, we'll continue to invite guests on our journey that are thought provoking futuris ts, AI technology mavens, retailers, international hotel design executives as well as designers and architects of brand experience places.We'll talk with authors and people focused on wellness and sustainable design practices as well as neuroscientists who will continue to help us look at the built environment and the connections between our mind-body and the built world around us.If you like what you hear on the NXTLVL Experience Design show, make sure to subscribe, like, comment and share with colleagues, friends and family.The NXTLVL Experience Design podcast is always grateful for the support of VMSD magazine.VMSD brings us, in the brand experience world, the International Retail Design Conference. I think the IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing us to keep on talking about what makes retailing relevant.You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience.SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgToday, EPISODE 92… I talk with Anatoliy Korolenko who leads Real Estate and Development for Nespresso USA … This conversation is effectively based on a tour that we took of the Nespresso flagship store on 5th Ave. at the corner of 16th St. in New York. We cover a lot of ground about how a store is laid out how elements of storytelling merchandising experience and design and construction all come together to make memorable moments of relevant engagement.We'll get into all of that in a minute but first a few thoughts…I've been working in the world of retail design for more than 30 years and there are subjects that have been foundational to my early learning from my first employer Joe Weishar at New Vision Studios, which I've talked about before in previous episodes.Not often do you find most of them beautifully executed in one store. But that was exactly my impression when getting a tour of the Nespresso store on 5th Ave. Corner of 16th St. in New York.Nespresso was founded in 1986 as a Nestlé subsidiary after employee Eric Favre invented a single-serve pressurized coffee system inspired by a popular Roman espresso bar.Favre visited Rome's Sant'Eustachio café and observed how intermittent water pumping created superior aeration and crema, leading him to design a capsule-based extraction prototype.1986 Launch: Nespresso S.A. was officially founded, rolling out its first machine (the C-100) and four coffee blends targeting offices in Switzerland, Japan, and Italy with limited initial success…A Couple decades later Nespresso was a global coffee powerhouse and the company opened its first standalone boutique in Paris in 2000 and later enlisted actor George Clooney as the face of the brand in 2006 to drive global luxury appeal.Now it's great to have someone who is a famous face to help promote a brand but no matter what happens in terms of marketing and advertising if the store doesn't deliver on expectations you're still likely gonna be in trouble in growing your retail footprint.Nespresso sells a considerable amount of their product online but in order to drive brand love a deeper more physical experience is needed and that means store Has to deliver something special if people are making the effort to get off their couch and get on those sales floor.Well-considered physical touchpoints become critical in terms of how the customer journey unfolds and the experience that customers engage in and later talk about after visiting the physical location.People who work there need to be experts since customers are better informed now than they have ever been after deep searches on line .So when customers come in the associate needs to know more and be a welcoming host who acts as a bit of a stage manger who facilitates how the theatre of the store will unfold.Purpose of retail has moved beyond the simple acquisition of goods or services. Retail stores have acted as a place to exchange stories to learn about the news of the day and connect to brands whose ideological orientations you align with.We've clearly moved from a place where retail was transactional into an experience based economy and now as Joe Pine would put it, we have moved into a place call the Transformation Economy.Here, customers expect so much more than just the product or service they're paying for.Experiences need to leave customers with a sense of a transformation. Deeper, more lasting experiences customers engage in while in stores and the memories they leave with are not just a fun story to share, though that is often done too, but a way of seeing themselves perhaps in the world and in relation to that experience that deeply matter.And while it is true that an increasing volume of business is done online, getting a cardboard box delivered to your front door the next day just can't compare to the aroma of delicious coffee in an environment that delights your other senses as well.Sure, if you're interested in a commodity purchase, use an online resource and welcome the cardboard box. On the other hand if you're seeking something more, going to the store cannot be replaced.Of course, once you arrive at the store one of the key components will be interaction with other humans. An AI bot interaction through an online purchase that offers up more opportunities for other things to buy because other people also bought them too,is very different than being greeted with a smile by an expert who knows the world of their brand at both the customer and product level.If I've showed up at the store I'm looking for something more and I will suggest that it's the human interaction you get face-to-face with an sales associate that is one of the key drivers to great brand experiences in retail places.I've often thought of retail stores and hotels like theater performances.A stage with performers but with no audience is called a rehearsaland a theater with no performers is call an intermission.When performers and patrons come together in a place, magic happens. The energy changes and the exchange is much deeper.Actors live on audience feedback and audience members expect performers to bring them into an imagined world were time shifts and for that 2 hour block they are someplace else.The sales associate and customer interaction works much the same way the store then simply as a stage set for the stars of the show customers sales associates and let us not forget products. Everything you do inside the store is geared towards telling the story supporting the actors and audience members and bringing them along on the story that unfolds in chapters or acts.So it's not surprising when you walk into a store like the Nespresso flagship on 5th Ave. at the corner of 16th St. in New York, that the story of Nespresso so comprehensively and confidently comes alive.From interaction stations that are very analog where you can experience the aroma of various coffees from around the world and if you like, free of charge, create your own coffee drink pour it into real glassware that when held in your hand creates a sense of comfort and familiarity.Sure the Nespresso store cells great coffee in a number of variations but the flagship store does much more than that.It welcomes you into a world of surprise and delight where customers interact with both analog and digital touchpoints; where they learn about the making of coffee and Nespresso's extraordinary sustainability program and how their capsules are recycled.And then it takes you off of the main selling floor and allows you to descend the digitally enrobed case staircase walking “into the poor” to a members lounge that is not only for members… it is for everyone.This place is designed to be reminiscent of what your own home may be complete with vinyl record player, a coffee bar where you can pour yourself another - free of charge - drink and spend time simply relaxing or chatting with the throngs of people that seem to always being showing up daily after 5:00 PM.A lot of retailers and hotel brands push designed experiences through a cost benefit analysis.Naturally minding their dollars and trying to understand where intention is being placed to drive impact - which usually translates to thinking about construction cost, altering employment practices and policies, considering the long-term needs of digital content management and a host of other things.The problem is that that ROI spreadsheet often doesn't have other columns on it for the intangibles like Return on Innovation, Return on Creativity, Return on Novelty, Return on Experience and Return on Emotion,all of which have become increasingly important in an experience and transformation based economy.How do you put a number on the intangibles of surprise and delight and the body memory of an experience so well choreographed did it lose you thinking about it and sharing it with friends and family days later.And this is where this episode's guest Anatoly Korolenko comes into our story.Anatoliy currently leads Real Estate and Development for Nespresso USA, He is responsible for shaping the brand's U.S. retail footprint from market strategy and site selection through lease negotiations, design, construction, and ongoing portfolio optimization. His work combines consumer and market analytics with real estate economics to identify growth opportunities and translate brand strategy into high-performing physical retail environments.Throughout his career, he has focused on the intersection of real estate, customer experience, and business performance—building strategies that treat physical retail not simply as a distribution channel, but as an important driver of customer acquisition, brand engagement, and long-term growth.I caught up with Anatoly on a trip to New York where we found the space at the old Pentagram office off of Madison Park that was under renovation by the Porcelanosa company who was turning it into a beautiful new showroom.So, during our conversation we lived through some sounds of circular saws, scaffolding being dismantled and some jackhammers breaking up a floor.And what with it being New York there was the occasional ambulance siren that starts off in the distance and then tends to come up and park right below your window.All good. We made it through. And we just chalked it up to being part of the authentic and unvarnished experience...* * * *ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645 (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

I denne episoden har vi besøk av Erlend Aas Gulbrandsen og Torgeir Skyttermoen for å snakke om den nye boka vår, "Bærekraftsstrategi. Fra innsikt til handling". Boka er laget for studenter, ledere, ansatte og rådgivere som trenger et praktisk og forskningsbasert rammeverk for å jobbe med bærekraft i virksomheter. Vi starter med en kaffekopp i klasserommet, Nespresso-kapsler, iskaffe, matcha, energidrikk og tørke i Brasil, før vi går løs på det store spørsmålet: Hvordan kan virksomheter lykkes med bærekraft i praksis? Erlend tar oss tilbake til de gamle «hva er problemet?»-dagene, Ansvarlig og lønnsom og RESTART, og forklarer hvorfor bærekraft nå er på vei fra hype og festtaler til gjørefase. Torgeir snakker om organisasjonsforståelse, prosjektlogikk, kuratering og hvorfor studenter trenger begreper, modeller og eksempler som gjør dem i stand til å handle. Vi snakker om bokas hovedstruktur, fra kartlegging av nåsituasjonen til mål, retning og gjennomføring, om forskjellen på compliance og strategisk arbeid, om læreboka som format i en tid med kunstig intelligens, og om hvorfor bærekraft fortsatt trenger godt språk, gode verktøy og levende klasserom. Sveinung lurer på om episoden må merkes som annonse, Lars Jacob leser fra klaffen, Erlend savner gode verktøykasser, Torgeir forsvarer den stille teksten, og vi gleder oss til å ta boka ut i klasserom, seminarrom, konferanser og videre inn i Bærekraftseventyr.

 Un des effets WoW  les plus sous-utilisé, c'est le "Merci"Le principe est simple : intégrer la gratitude dans le parcours client pour montrer qu'il compte vraiment.C'est une idée que l'on retrouve dans le livre Merci de Thierry Spencer.Ce merci peut intervenir à des moments clés :Passer du transactionnel à l'émotionnel lors du premier achat. Exemple. L'OCCITANE, 900 care...  impriment “MERCI” dans leurs colis.Transformer le pépin en pépite (merci l'AMARC), Decathlon remercie ainsi même les avis négatifs car un feedback sert à s'améliorer.Reconnaître la durée de relation, Nespresso célèbre les anniversaires clients fidèles.SFR remercie ses clients avec des attentions personnalisées suite à un incident avec Gifty .L'impact est majeur, avec une réelle émotion positive, une forte mémorisation et surtout un bouche-à-oreille naturel.Et vous, quand avez vous dit “merci”  à un client... ou à vos équipes ?Une émission présentée par Frédéric CanevetDirecteur de la publication : Michaël LejardDirecteur de rédaction : Eric LestanguetEditeur : Agora Médias, une activité d'Agora Managers Groupe

Send us Fan MailIn this WTR Small-Cap Spotlight showcase, host James Kisner joins virtually with WTR's Mike McCormack on the ground in Munich with Elena Coles, Head of Investor Relations at Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), the German AI robotics company building autonomous kitchen systems for commercial and defense customers. Coles walks through the portfolio: the flagship CA-1, which cooks up to six dishes in parallel on seven square meters and is deployed with Mercedes-Benz, REWE, Meta, and the Bundeswehr; the compact CA-A cup-based system from the Alberts acquisition; and the defense-focused CA-M, which replaces a field kitchen at roughly 5% of the staff. The conversation covers the Kitchen Robotics acquisition (30+ patents and NSF certification for US entry), a new proprietary ingredients program targeting up to 45% margins on a Nespresso-style razor-and-blade model, the Secura channel partnership into German industrial canteens, and the deliberate revenue shift from 2026 into a 2027 production ramp as CircusOS subscriptions and ingredient revenue scale with every deployed system.For additional content, visit: https://www.watertowerresearch.com

Salim Ismail is a co-founder & partner at Exponential Venture Capital, founder of OpenExO, founding Executive Director at Singularity University, and an author. His latest work is, Exponential Organizations: Why new organizations are ten times better, faster, and cheaper than yours (and what to do about it). Greg and Salim discuss Salim's shift from focusing on exponential technologies to organizational design as the main bottleneck to organizations adopting disruption. He traces the idea to his experience leading innovation at Yahoo, where disruptive ideas were rejected by a corporate “immune system,” and to building Singularity University with a tiny team, which led him to study fast-scaling unicorns and develop the Exponential Organizations (ExO) model.  They also talk about how legacy firms optimize for predictability and efficiency, making them hostile to disruption, and why change must often happen at the edge via spin-outs (e.g., Nespresso, Google X, Apple teams). Salim argues that AI agents will replace much middle management coordination (60–80% in 5–7 years), making judgment and accountability scarce, reshaping universities and expertise, and accelerating permissionless, low-cost innovation and startups. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Is the end of middle management coming? 30:59: Middle management does two things: it takes decisions from above and cascades them down, and it takes information from down and feeds it up. Okay? It's all coordination, and AI can do all that coordination at a hundred X faster, cheaper, more accurately than a human being can do it. Erik Brynjolfsson, I think, has the best frame for it. He calls it white-collar drudgery, right? Nobody needs to be assembling sales report from five regions and then passing it up just to the chief sales officer. Nobody really wants to be doing that, but somebody's got to do it. And there's that whole human hierarchy and coordination function in Cosian thinking. AI replaces most of that, so we think middle management evaporates by about a sixty to eighty percent level over the next five to seven years. The world is driven by disruption, not efficiency 13:39: Today the world is not driven by efficiency and predictability, it is driven by disruption... Human hierarchical structure does not work in a world that's changing quickly. And as AI comes along, it breaks it completely. Innovation has to happen at the edge 19:40: You've got to spin off. That's the only thing to do it. So the only solution to this, and I've looked at the innovation process of probably, I've been in the boardroom of probably two hundred of the Fortune five hundred over the last decade. There's only one path, which is you do disruptive things at the edge away from the mothership and let that become the new gravity center. That's it. That's the only way you can make it work.

This is part six of a ten-part podcast series documenting the European Industrial Hemp Association's 23rd Annual Conference in Poznan, Poland, at the Institute of Fiber Plants and Medicinal Medicine, June 10-12.  Julia Bialecka is CEO and co-founder of S-Lab, short for Sustainable Laboratory. The company uses hemp and mycelium to make packaging that replaces expanded polystyrene. Based in Spain, S-Lab has already piloted its material with L'Oréal, Nespresso and JTI. "Every polystyrene Styrofoam packaging unit that was ever produced still remains somewhere on the landfills because it's 500 years there," she said. The material performs like polystyrene but fully biodegrades in 30 days and is certified home-compostable. Hemp makes up about 90% of the product, and mycelium is the other 10%, acting as a glue that binds the hemp shives together as it grows. S-Lab is closing a €2.5 million seed round and preparing to move from startup to scale-up. "My dream is that one day I go to the grocery shop, to the cosmetics shop, and I see most of the products packed into our material," Bialecka said.

The conversation explores Genesis 3, the Fall, Satan's deception, humanity's blame-shifting tendencies, and how the Bible's story—from Eden to Revelation—fits together in remarkable ways.Plus: rooftop tents, Nespresso machines, collard greens, throwback worship songs, and a discussion about why the gospel offers a better story than anything the world can manufacture.Grab a cup of coffee and join the chase.

Six years ago, Christopher Marquis wrote that the B Corp movement was remaking capitalism. Today the movement is twenty years old, ten thousand companies strong, and in the middle of a reckoning. Marquis, Sinyi Professor at Cambridge Judge Business School and author of Better Business, Mao and Markets and The Profiteers, joins the show to talk straight. Why the Dr. Bronner's exit and the Nespresso certification forced B Lab to tighten its standards. Why a company's positives can no longer outweigh its negatives. Why regulation catching up is not a threat to B Corp but the highest form of success. We also go where few sustainability conversations dare: China's dominance in clean energy despite its authoritarianism, the risk of a K-shaped world that leaves the Global South behind, and where Africa really stands.

"The amount of time you need to spend listening in Japan is very high." "You have to turn up your EQ sensitivity or your EQ radar very, very high." "No matter what, love it." "Feedback should be ninety percent positive." "Leadership is achieving the organisation's goal by maximising the potential of your team." Paul Kraft is the Country Manager for Haribo in Japan and a seasoned food and beverage executive whose career has crossed global brands, entrepreneurial ventures, and distributor-led market development. His relationship with Japan began when he first visited in 1991 on a school trip after studying finance and economics, and he later returned to Osaka to teach English before building his early career in the United States as a product and brand manager in the frozen food sector. Starbucks then recruited him to establish its consumer packaged goods office in Tokyo, where his team expanded the brand beyond coffee shops into convenience store cup coffee, canned coffee, and dry coffee formats. He later launched Honey Baked Ham in Japan through an omnichannel strategy covering food service, retail, and online sales, before joining Nespresso to lead the business-to-business group serving hotels, restaurants, and off-premise clients. At Haribo, Kraft became the company's first person on the ground in Japan, guiding the distributor, shaping strategy, and acting as the bridge between the Japanese market and the global organisation. His career arc reflects adaptability in Japan: learning when to push, when to listen, when to use nemawashi, how to reduce uncertainty, and how to lead through consensus, precedent, relationship depth, and trust. Paul Kraft's leadership journey in Japan is a practical study in how global executives must adapt ambition, speed, and commercial logic to a business culture that places deep value on patience, consensus, trust, and emotional intelligence. His connection with Japan began in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Japanese business influence was highly visible internationally. Toyota, Japanese management methods, and major Japanese investments overseas created a sense that understanding Japan was essential for future business leaders. Kraft studied finance and economics, visited Japan for the first time in 1991, and fell in love with the country. After graduating, he returned to Osaka to teach English before moving back to the United States and entering the food business. His early food career gave him broad commercial exposure. He worked as a product and brand manager for a privately held frozen food company, handling brands across categories such as ice cream, pizza, and frozen egg rolls. He also gained experience in research, brand management, and mergers and acquisitions. The turning point came when Starbucks recruited him to return to Japan and set up a consumer packaged goods office in Tokyo. Within three months, he sold his cars, sold his house, gave away his tools, and moved to Japan. It was a decisive commitment to the market. At Starbucks, Kraft's team was responsible for everything outside the coffee shops, including convenience store cup coffee, canned coffee, different drinks, and packaged coffee products. Japan's vast convenience store network meant the business could scale dramatically. At one point, he believed Starbucks may have been selling more cups of coffee outside the stores than inside them. Yet the opportunity came with culture shock. Kraft encountered long, meandering meetings with Japanese partners where the purpose was not necessarily to decide, but to discuss. Coming from a Western business environment that valued agendas, pre-reads, data, speed, and explicit outcomes, he found this difficult. Partners might resist data, avoid firm conclusions, or reject new ideas because they had no precedent. This introduced one of Kraft's central leadership lessons: frustration management is a business skill in Japan. He admits that in his early years he sometimes relied too much on visible frustration or forceful leadership. He learned that anger in Japan is not usually interpreted as strength. It is often seen as weak self-control, poor maturity, low self-awareness, and a failure to read the group. In a culture shaped by uncertainty avoidance and consensus, the leader who becomes known as a hothead loses influence. Kraft's next major chapter, Honey Baked Ham, tested his entrepreneurial instincts. He cold-called the CEO of the American family-owned chain and convinced the company to support a Japan launch. The concept was unfamiliar in a market where honey-baked ham did not have obvious precedent. Kraft built an omnichannel model covering food service, a physical store, and online sales. He worked with local financial backers, freelancers, part-time staff, and a very lean team. The leadership challenge was not just selling a product, but selling belief. To attract employees and customers, he had to tell the story of the brand, offer the product directly, and reduce the perceived risk of joining or buying into something new. In Japan, he found that new ideas often need a "Japanese stamp of approval". For Honey Baked Ham, that stamp came from the New Otani Hotel. Once the product was accepted by a respected, traditional, luxury Japanese hotel, the market could interpret it differently. It was no longer merely a foreign idea. It had local legitimacy. This is decision intelligence in a Japanese setting: understanding that data alone is not enough if social proof, trust signals, respected reference points, and emotional confidence are missing. At Nespresso, Kraft moved from entrepreneurial uncertainty into a highly structured global organisation. Nespresso, as part of Nestlé, had strong processes, operational discipline, monthly reviews, and clear accountability systems. Kraft led the business-to-business group, serving hotels, restaurants, and off-premise clients. There, he focused on weekly one-on-ones, feedback, and structure. He maintained regular conversations with direct reports, taking notes, sharing updates, listening to their updates, and discussing future deliverables. He also saw the value of monthly operational reviews where commitments were visible and specific: who would do what by when. Red, yellow, and green status tracking created accountability, but it also required leaders to prevent people from setting themselves up to fail. At Haribo, Kraft now leads largely through influence. Haribo had existed in Japan for decades through distributors, but Kraft became the first person representing the company directly on the ground. His role is to guide the distributor, shape strategy, interpret the Japanese market for the global organisation, and influence outcomes without necessarily controlling every lever. This is leadership through relationship rather than hierarchy. For Kraft, the answer lies in patience, small-group influence, and nemawashi. Large meetings with many distributor representatives are rarely where minds are changed. The real work happens in smaller conversations, offline follow-ups, and repeated explanations of why something matters. Across the interview, Kraft's leadership philosophy is consistent. He advocates weekly one-on-ones, positive feedback, careful listening, written notes, high EQ, and learning Japanese. He believes leaders should look for people doing things right and tell them specifically. He also believes leaders should encourage initiative, especially in Japan, where proposing an idea can itself be a courageous act. Ultimately, Kraft defines leadership as achieving the organisation's goal by maximising the potential of the team. In Japan, that means leading with EQ rather than ego, using structure without crushing people, building consensus without losing accountability, and understanding that influence is earned through patience, presence, and trust. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is unique because authority alone is rarely enough to move people, partners, or organisations. Kraft's experience shows that Japan places heavy emphasis on consensus, precedent, trust, and the emotional readiness of the group. A meeting may not be designed to make a decision in the Western sense. It may be designed to exchange views, test reactions, identify resistance, and prepare the ground for a later decision. This can frustrate executives who arrive expecting agendas, data, pre-reads, and immediate outcomes. However, in Japan, the visible meeting is often only one part of the decision-making process. The real work may occur before and after the formal meeting. This is where nemawashi becomes essential. Rather than forcing a decision in front of a large group, effective leaders work privately with stakeholders, listen to their concerns, explain the reason behind the proposal, and create alignment before asking for visible agreement. In some organisations, this may connect to formal mechanisms such as ringi-sho, where written proposals circulate for approval. Even when ringi-sho is not used formally, the underlying cultural logic remains: people want to avoid surprises, protect relationships, and reduce uncertainty before committing. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives struggle in Japan when they assume that leadership methods which worked elsewhere will automatically work here. Kraft describes coming from a Western environment where meetings were purposeful, decisions were expected, and data played a central role. In Japan, he encountered long discussions without agendas, partners who were not prepared to discuss data, and resistance to ideas because they had never been done before. For a Western leader, this can look inefficient or evasive. For Japanese counterparts, it may reflect caution, uncertainty avoidance, and the desire to avoid exposing the group to visible failure. Another reason global executives struggle is emotional pacing. Kraft admits that his own frustration management was a multi-year learning process. Early in his Japan career, he sometimes believed that a leader had to pound the table, push harder, or force things to happen. Over time, he realised that visible anger usually weakens credibility in Japan. It may be interpreted as poor self-control, low maturity, insufficient self-awareness, or an inability to operate inside the group. Leaders who become known as hotheads lose influence. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Kraft's experience suggests that Japan is not simply risk-averse; it is highly sensitive to uncertainty, precedent, and failure visibility. People may resist new ideas not because they dislike innovation, but because they cannot forecast the outcome, cannot point to a precedent, or cannot see how failure will be managed. His Starbucks orange mocha example illustrates this clearly. Even with data and enthusiasm, Japanese counterparts resisted because they could not forecast something that had never been done before. The absence of precedent made the idea difficult to accept. At Honey Baked Ham, Kraft had to reduce uncertainty on multiple fronts. He needed employees to believe in a small start-up-like venture, customers to accept an unfamiliar product, and business partners to see legitimacy in the concept. He did this through storytelling, product sampling, financial backing, and visible local validation. The New Otani Hotel became a crucial Japanese stamp of approval. Once a respected Japanese institution accepted the product, the perceived risk fell. This is a useful lesson for leaders: in Japan, risk is often managed through social proof, credibility markers, and trusted reference points. Decision intelligence in Japan requires more than analysis. It requires understanding how people feel safe enough to act. What leadership style actually works? The leadership style that works in Japan is patient, structured, emotionally intelligent, and specific. Kraft repeatedly returns to the importance of weekly one-on-ones. He used them not as casual check-ins, but as disciplined leadership routines. He wrote down the person's name, the date, his update, their update, the future focus, and the deliverables. Over time, this built trust and created a rhythm of communication. In Japan, where employees may hesitate to speak up in larger forums, one-on-ones provide a safer space for concerns, ideas, and coaching. Kraft also emphasises feedback, especially positive feedback. He argues that feedback should be ninety percent positive. This does not mean avoiding problems. It means noticing specific behaviours that should continue and reinforcing them. At Nespresso, Kraft also saw the value of structured accountability. Monthly operational reviews asked who would do what by when, using red-yellow-green status tracking. This helped cut through ambiguity and group responsibility. The most effective style is not soft consensus or hard command. It is a combination of empathy, structure, clarity, and support. How can technology help? Technology can help leadership in Japan when it reduces uncertainty, improves shared understanding, and supports better decision-making. Kraft's career points repeatedly to the importance of data, forecasting, operational reviews, and structured follow-up. At Starbucks, he wanted data-driven conversations with partners. At Nespresso, process and dashboards made accountability visible. At Haribo, he works in a market where convenience stores are highly sophisticated and retail execution depends on understanding channels, forecasts, and consumer behaviour. Modern tools such as retail analytics, AI-supported forecasting, digital twins, scenario planning dashboards, and decision intelligence platforms can be powerful in Japan because they allow teams to test ideas before committing. In a high-consensus culture, technology can create a shared factual base. It can help people compare options, visualise consequences, and reduce the fear of the unknown. Digital twins, for example, can allow leaders to model supply chain, distribution, retail placement, or product launch scenarios without requiring immediate real-world commitment. This can lower emotional resistance and make decisions feel safer. However, technology cannot replace trust. In Japan, data may be necessary, but it is rarely sufficient. Leaders must still explain the why, conduct nemawashi, listen to objections, and create confidence among stakeholders. Does language proficiency matter? Language proficiency matters in Japan because it signals respect, commitment, and seriousness. Kraft says leaders should try to learn Japanese, even if they do not become fluent. Fluency helps a leader catch nuance, understand emotional tone, and communicate directly with employees, partners, and distributors. It also helps reduce the distance that can exist between a foreign executive and a Japanese team. In a market where trust is built slowly, the effort to learn the language can itself become a stamp of approval. That said, Kraft does not suggest that language ability alone makes someone an effective leader. A fluent but impatient leader can still fail. A non-fluent but humble, consistent, and respectful leader can still build trust. The key is effort. Trying to learn Japanese shows that the executive is not merely passing through. It shows they are willing to adapt to the local context, not simply demand that the local context adapt to them. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? The ultimate leadership lesson from Kraft's experience is that leaders in Japan must maximise people's potential by building trust, reducing uncertainty, and communicating with discipline. His definition is clear: leadership is achieving the organisation's goal by maximising the potential of the team. That requires more than setting targets. It requires creating the conditions in which people can contribute, speak up, try ideas, receive feedback, and accept accountability without fear of humiliation. Kraft's career shows that Japan rewards leaders who can operate as bridges. At Starbucks, he bridged global brand ambition and Japanese retail realities. At Honey Baked Ham, he bridged an unfamiliar American food concept and Japanese legitimacy signals. At Nespresso, he bridged global process discipline and local team development. At Haribo, he bridges headquarters, distributor partners, retailers, and the Japanese market. The best leaders in Japan do not abandon ambition. They adapt how ambition is communicated and implemented. They listen longer, give more positive feedback, use smaller meetings, manage their frustration, explain the why, and build consensus before demanding action.

Join me and my guest James "Mac" McPartland (jamesmcpartland.com), a keynote speaker, author of the Unopened Gifts® series, and a Mindshift & Performance Coach. For over 25 years, he has been helping leaders and their teams access breakthrough performance and results. James has worked with organizations such as Bank of America, IBM, Nespresso, Kellogg's, Dow Chemical, Athletes First, and 24-Hour Fitness to transform their cultures into ones of exceptional collaboration and achievement. Our conversation emphasizes the need for courage in leadership and the significance of fostering an environment where employees feel valued and understood. SHOW NOTES  SPONSORED BY: Power of You! Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this conversation, Blaine and James McPartland explore the themes of personal growth, leadership, and the importance of understanding one's own gifts. They discuss the concept of 'unopened gifts'—the potential within individuals that often goes untapped due to fear and societal expectations. McPartland shares his journey of self-discovery and the realization that true leadership involves connecting with others on a personal level. The discussion emphasizes the need for courage in leadership and the significance of fostering an environment where employees feel valued and understood. Takeaways The soul of business is the only true differentiator. Understanding what matters to employees is crucial for engagement. Courage in leadership often feels uncomfortable. People hear what they see; actions speak louder than words. Unopened gifts represent untapped potential within individuals. Leadership is about influencing others to co-create a worthy ideal. Personal growth often involves facing uncomfortable truths. The hardest relationship to navigate is often with oneself. True leadership requires vulnerability and humility. Creating a culture of openness can lead to greater organizational success. #business #leadershipdevelopment #personalgrowth #unopenedgifts #courage #organizationalculture #coaching #self-awareness #transformation #employeeengagement Learn more about your ad choices.

Step into Episode 205 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Mat Snapp and Cortnie of Barter & Shake, the team behind some of Arizona's most immersive cocktail concepts, to unpack what it really takes to build hospitality spaces people want to come back to. From Mat's years helping open dozens of restaurants with Sam Fox concepts to Cortnie's path through Starbucks, Nespresso, San Francisco bar leadership, and eventually Phoenix, this conversation dives into the operator mindset behind culture, guest experience, and long-term team retention. The episode explores how Barter & Shake grew from one building with three concepts to multiple locations and brands, why they lead with people-first operations, and how they think about guest immersion as a form of escape in an always-on world. Mat and Cortnie also break down the real art of bartending beyond drink-making, including safe service, internal communication, non-alcoholic hospitality, and why making every guest feel included matters just as much as what goes in the glass.​You'll also hear the story behind spaces like Sunny's Lounge and Undertow, what makes their concepts different in a changing market, the importance of giving people a place to unplug, and what's next for the group as Undertow celebrates 10 years and new projects take shape in downtown Phoenix.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Fq8DmRShojk  Day 6 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 8, 2025. It brought forward crucial scientific and circumstantial evidence. In this Case Brief, we break down the shocking testimony that covered the Medical Examiner's testimony on preserved evidence—including blood-soaked hair, tissue, and carpet pieces—despite Ana Walshe's body never being recovered. Plus, the debate over a recovered Gucci necklace toggle. Witness testimony from Ana Walshe's HR Director details her call with a "polite and calm" Brian Walshe after Ana was reported missing, and the crucial clue found outside her DC residence: a wet Nespresso delivery box. We break down the timeline of Brian Walshe's frantic purchases at Lowe's, including the hacksaw, buckets, and cleaning supplies, and his attempts to evade surveillance cameras. The defense focuses on the lack of blood evidence found in the master bedroom subfloor and the "natural causes" argument, while the prosecution highlights Brian Walshe's Google searches on cleaning blood from a knife and the timing of his Band-Aid purchase. Was it a sudden death followed by a panic, or a premeditated murder? We discuss the jury's key task: deciding on the First-Degree Murder charge.

Your $6 latte has some dark supply chain secrets.Health effects are a mixed bag — potential liver benefits vs. stomach lining damage, anxiety spikes, and sleep disruption.
