How can leaders build organizations that remain responsive and successful through constant disruption? Kevin sits down with Ron Robinson to explore what makes a company resilient in the face of economic uncertainty, social change, climate events, and rapidly evolving technology. Ron explains why leaders must look beyond financial results and strengthen four interconnected areas of the business: finances, operations, employees, and customers. They discuss how involving employees in budgeting, problem-solving, recruiting, and process improvement can reduce costs, increase responsiveness, and create greater ownership throughout the organization. Ron also introduces the value of internal mastermind groups, where employees closest to the work meet regularly to share knowledge, identify improvements, and respond more quickly to challenges. Ron's Story: Ron Robinson is the author of Practices of Resilient Companies: Overcome Disruption with Compassion, Collaboration and Knowledge. He has consulted with and helped turn around enterprises ranging from Fortune 500 companies to mid-size organizations to startups. He has presented to audiences as large as 3,000 and facilitated groups as large as 300 participants. http://www.ronspeaking.com/ http://ronspeaking.substack.com/ Book Recommendations Practices of Resilient Companies by Ron Robinson On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder Like this?

What really separates consistent winners from everyone else? On today's episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Wall Street Journal journalists Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg, authors of The Playbook: The Hidden Forces Shaping Winners and Losers in the Modern NFL. This conversation goes far beyond touchdowns, coaches, and quarterbacks. Joshua and Jonathan take us behind the scenes of some of the NFL's most fascinating organizations to reveal how winning is actually built—from the front office to the salary cap, analytics, leadership decisions, organizational culture, calculated risks, and the willingness to challenge conventional wisdom. We dive into the power and danger of groupthink, why successful organizations can't simply copy what worked yesterday, and how teams such as the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and others have approached the constant challenge of creating—and sustaining—success. Linda also explores one of the book's biggest lessons: sometimes great leadership isn't about forcing people to fit your system. It's about recognizing their strengths and having the courage to change the system. Whether you're an NFL fan, entrepreneur, leader, coach, or simply someone determined to create your own next level, this conversation is packed with lessons about winning, resilience, innovation, adaptability and thinking differently. In this episode, you'll discover: how NFL franchises create sustainable success; why groupthink can destroy innovation; what separates calculated risk from reckless decision-making; why culture matters as much as talent; how great leaders adapt around people's strengths; what failure can teach us about strategy; and why sometimes the best way to win is to stop following everyone else's playbook. The Playbook: The Hidden Forces Shaping Winners and Losers in the Modern NFL by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg is available now.   Summary In this episode, Joshua Robinson, sports journalist and author of The Playbook, shares insights on what makes NFL organizations successful beyond the game. We explore leadership, innovation, risk-taking, and the importance of adaptability in achieving sustained success.  Key  Topics How NFL teams win before the game starts The importance of organizational alignment The role of innovation and risk in success Lessons from teams like the Eagles, Rams, and Ravens The danger of groupthink and copying successful teams Adapting to circumstances and real-time changes Leadership and culture in high-performance organizations  Takeaways Winning is often decided long before the game begins. Organizational alignment from owner to coach is crucial. Smart teams look around corners and challenge conventional wisdom. Adaptability is more important than a fixed long-term plan. Failure can be part of the path to success if managed well.  Sound Bites "Winning is done long before anyone steps into the field" "Organizational alignment is crucial for success" "Adapt or die in the NFL" Chapters 00:00 Introduction to NFL success principles 02:00 How rules shape NFL team strategies 04:00 The importance of organizational alignment 04:51 Groupthink and the risk of copying successful teams 06:01 Innovative approaches of teams like the Eagles and Rams 07:54 Learning from failure: The Cleveland Browns case 08:46 Adapting to circumstances: The Ravens and Lamar Jackson 09:47 The value of adaptability over fixed plans 11:01 Leadership lessons from NFL organizations 13:07 Final insights: Look around corners and invest in value

A central structural shift discussed is the acceleration of security risk and remediation cycles driven by AI-powered tooling available to both attackers and defenders. The episode highlights that the difference between offensive and defensive capabilities now depends less on underlying technology and more on access controls and permission settings, as demonstrated by offerings and incidents involving Anthropic, OpenAI, Cloudflare, and tool vulnerabilities in products from Connectwise and Enable.Primary evidence of this shift includes the use of advanced AI models and agent frameworks, which have enabled attackers to compress the timeline for successful ransomware intrusions to under 10 hours, according to Unit 42 and The Register. On the defense side, Cloudflare and OpenAI announced an early access service leveraging Daybreak models (including GPT 5.6 Cyber) for vulnerability detection and suggested patching, subject to human review. Meanwhile, Microsoft implemented a policy throttling unpatched Exchange servers until remediation occurs, rather than relying on voluntary patching, marking a move towards enforced maintenance in vendor ecosystems.Supporting developments underline the blurred line between offense and defense: Anthropic's simultaneous release of two AI models (Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1) with identical capabilities but different access restrictions based on user vetting, and OpenAI's promotion of its GPT-6 Astra model's security testing performance, while applying safeguard layers to limit exploit generation. Reports from Hack the Box and Red Sift, citing increased enterprise adoption of AI for both security assessment and attack surface discovery, reinforce that automation now exposes vulnerabilities faster than traditional remediation processes can keep pace.The operational implication for MSPs and IT service providers is that speed of decision-making—particularly client approval for emergency remediation—has become a critical risk control point. The analysis underscores that technical controls and cyber insurance arrangements are frequently untrusted or unused, leaving actual exposure governed by change management logistics. Providers are advised to formalize rapid approval clauses and escalation contacts in contracts, shifting from hypothetical scenarios to incorporating real vendor disclosures as triggers. This adjustment is positioned as a necessary response to a landscape in which exploits and mitigations move at comparable velocity, and traditional maintenance rhythms no longer align with risk movement.00:00 The Intruder Left A Report 04:17 Same Model, Different Door06:44 Configured, Never Turned On09:47 Why Do We Care?Supported by: Proofpoint Guardz

☎️ A new podcast episode featuring Dr. Shanéa Thomas LICSW, CSE @drshaneathomas @drkchocolatnoir drops TODAY on @youtube and all podcast platforms.

AI transformation has a funny way of becoming an organizational X-ray. The companies getting real value from it aren't necessarily the ones buying the most tools or burning the most tokens. They're the ones that understand what they're trying to accomplish, what excellence looks like, and which problems are actually worth solving.In this episode of People Managing People, David Rice speaks with Zapier's Chief People and AI Transformation Officer, Brandon Sammut, about why AI ROI starts with organizational clarity, how to build experimentation that survives contact with actual workloads, and why adoption eventually needs to give way to impact. They also explore AI coaching, the growing value of judgment and wisdom, and why the best employers may increasingly be defined by how much more capable people become while working there.Related Links:Join the People Managing People CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Brandon on LinkedInCheck out ZapierSupport the show

What does values-led leadership actually look like when an organization's beliefs are tested by change, conflict, cultural complexity, and real-world decisions? In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation with Kevin McShan, Kevin sits down with Shane Lukas, activist, speaker, harm reductionist, award-winning designer, and founder of A Great Idea, for a powerful conversation about values-based leadership, organizational culture, community building, social impact, activism, and turning stated values into meaningful action. Shane works with people, organizations, foundations, and communities to use shared stories and values more intentionally so leadership, culture, advocacy, and social impact initiatives move beyond good intentions and create tangible change. His approach is shaped by lived experience, community organizing, harm reduction, activism, and decades of creative leadership. At the center of his philosophy is the belief that meaningful change happens when people are treated with dignity, respect, and agency and are given the resources they need to make informed decisions for themselves. Through A Great Idea, Shane helps mission-driven organizations strengthen community, build trust, increase participation, navigate complexity, and align their decisions with their stated values. He is also the host of the Power Beyond Pride podcast and has delivered a TEDx talk. Systems shape people, but people also have the power to reshape systems. In a rapidly changing workplace and cultural landscape, leaders are increasingly being challenged to demonstrate that their organizational values are more than statements on a website. Values-led leadership requires organizations to connect their principles to everyday decisions, workplace culture, employee engagement, community relationships, and leadership accountability. In this conversation, Shane Lukas and Kevin McShan explore: For executives, nonprofit leaders, community organizers, advocates, HR professionals, culture leaders, and mission-driven organizations, this conversation provides an important examination of what happens when leadership values move from words to action. Shane challenges leaders to consider a fundamental question: If your values don't influence what you decide, what you prioritize, who gets heard, and how you respond when things become difficult, are they really your values? Join Shane Lukas and Kevin McShan on Let's Have This Conversation for an insightful discussion about values-led leadership, organizational culture, activism, harm reduction, community building, social justice, storytelling, and creating meaningful change. Because meaningful leadership isn't simply about stating what you believe—it's about having the clarity and courage to put those beliefs into action.   For more information: https://www.shanelukas.com/ Discover More: https://www.agreatidea.com/ Check out the Podcast: https://powerbeyondpride.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

S6:E74 What happens to your business when you aren't there anymore? For millions of founders, where more than half of all small businesses in the USA today are owned and operated by people over 50, that question is moving from theoretical to urgent. John Abrams says many owners assume they'll eventually pass the company to their children, sell it to an outside buyer or perhaps accept an offer from private equity. But there's another possibility: The people who helped build the business can own its future. Queue up this episode of Small Business Stories for a thoughtful conversation with John Abrams, founder of South Mountain Company and author of From Founder to Future, about employee ownership, founder succession, trust and building a company capable of surviving its creator. John's own succession wasn't improvised. South Mountain became employee-owned decades before John eventually stepped away from leadership in 2022. He describes years of intentional leadership development, difficult conversations and even a failed six-month sabbatical that exposed just how unprepared the organization initially was to function without him. If people don't trust the organization without its founder, the succession isn't complete. And John's story offers a larger leadership lesson: the ultimate evidence that you've built an enduring organization may be what happens when you finally stop running it.

Patrick Regan OBE is author of Sunday Times bestseller "Small Steps for Big Change", Director of Brighter Days, and a wellbeing advocate. Patrick shares meaningful experiences in his life that helped him understand how to manage overwhelm. He describes the importance of setting boundaries and living our values during today's ongoing changes. Patrick explains how self-awareness helps people take small steps, make intentional choices and lead differently. He advocates for compassionate leaders who emphasise human connection and psychological safety, while addressing systemic causes of burnout. Patrick highlights his practices of creating space and thinking differently.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [01:10] Patrick's life is impacted when facing a school incident as a youth worker during his gap year.   [01:56] Patrick helps at the school and discovers how trauma and violence shape young people's lives.   [02:55] Trying to solve unfixable problems leads to Patrick absorbing others' pain.   [04:22] Comparing suffering can prevent people from recognising and addressing their own needs.   [05:12] Multiple family health crises compound Patrick's stress.    [06:04] Patrick has to face his own health crisis.   [07:21] Health is Patrick's Achilles heel; his knee pain fuels unresolved anxiety.   [08:02] Everyone bears the burden as Patrick wants to feel useful, but his capacity is limited.   [08:46] Embracing limitations is a sign of maturity that ultimately supports flourishing.   [09:58] Boundaries allow people to care for themselves and others at the same time.   [10:46] Caregivers can suffer "secondhand smoke" supporting someone through serious difficulties.   [11:31] Effective boundaries are personal, evolving, and shaped by individual needs and situations.   [13:23] Men's mental health requires more attention, conversation, and accepting vulnerability.   [14:51] Being courageous requires vulnerability to enable connection and recognise you're not alone.   [15:40] Suppressed emotions eventually surface, making human connection vital to deal with issues.   [18:10] Belonging matters more than fitting in, particularly when people need meaningful support.   [18:55] Regular check-ins with trusted friends create a valuable personal support network.   [18:47] Asking for "eight minutes" can signal an urgent need to feel heard and shift perspective.   [20:11] Honest conversations are important especially where role models are missing.   [21:08] Small changes reduce stress responses, enabling sustainable habits for long-term transformation.   [23:38] Compassionate leaders create psychological safety so people feel able to speak up and contribute.   [24:16] Patrick explains compassion as a fierce and courageous word.   [24:28] Wellbeing tools cannot change organizational cultures that burn people out.   [25:16] Questions for workplaces to address to improve culture, behaviours, and reduce burnout.    [27:29] Organizational values are meaningful when they actively guide decisions and daily actions.   [28:10] Patrick and his wife practice their belief that success is living up to your personal values.   [31:30] Different experiences shape values, confront biases, and deepen understanding of humanity.   [32:56] Listening to understand, not respond, helps people connect across different perspectives.   [35:12] Caring for others needs to coexist with self-compassion and managing the inner critic.   [37:00] Patrick comes up with "Start small, create space, think differently" when totally exhausted.   [38:23] Gratitude shifts attention toward good experiences without denying that difficulties exist.   [38:46] Creating mental space allows questioning of inner critique and listening to more constructive voices.   [39:17] Self-awareness is a fundamental characteristic of effective leadership.   [39:27] Power can be used with and for people rather than being exercised over them.   [41:53] Social media echo chambers weaken abilities to debate, disagree and understand other's views.   [43:39] Patrick seeks critical soft skills, valuing character and chemistry more than competence.   [44:00] Younger generations seek 'JOMO' (Joy of Missing Out) not sacrificing wellbeing and family.   [44:40] Connecting young people with their passions to unlock energy, creativity, and contribution.   [45:41] Creative problem-solving requires intentional space away from constant overwhelm and competing demands.       RESOURCES     Patrick Regan OBE on LinkedIn   Patrick's book "Small Steps for Big Change"   Patrick's book "Brighter Days"   Brighter Days website       QUOTES     "I think success is actually living true to your values."     "How do we use our power 'with' and our power 'for', rather than our power 'over', which is the traditional use of power."   "My favourite definition on boundaries is 'boundaries are how I love you and love me simultaneously."    "So you want to create that psychological safety within your organisation because that actually leads to more creativity and innovation and people feeling seen, valued and heard."   "Compassion? That's quite a weak word? Well, actually, it's a fierce word, it's a courageous word."    "Embracing your limitations is a sign of maturity. And actually helps you flourish ultimately."   "Let's think differently. Let's think creatively. For that, you need space."

Earlier this year I sat down at the inaugural WRITA spring conference with Chuck Boyer (Assistant CIO, City of Phoenix, and WRITA Conference Chair), Nick Phillips (CISO, City of Boise), and Scott Magerfleisch (Executive Counselor, Info-Tech Research Group, former CIO, City of Greeley, CO).A backup can be healthy.A recovery can still fail.Boise's infrastructure team brought in Info-Tech to build a real disaster recovery plan — not because anything had gone wrong, but because "we know what to do" was living in people's heads instead of on paper. 3.5 days in a room with IT staff only, no business units. They worked through 15 applications. The city has more than 200. What Nick took away wasn't about storage.

Defining values is only the beginning. This episode explores how leaders intentionally integrate organizational values into everyday decisions, communication, accountability, strategic planning, and operations so employees can consistently make decisions that reflect the organization intended direction even when leadership isn't present.

In this livestream, Tatiana Agafonova, a New Biology Clinic wellness specialist, shares an introduction to Reorganizational Healing and how it connects with the work she offers through breathing integration, meditation, and biofield tuning.She introduces Reorganizational Healing as a wellness and behavior-change paradigm developed by Donny Epstein, including its three central elements:-The four seasons of well-being-The triad of change-The energetic intelligencesDiscussion link here.Highlights from this session include:-Tatiana defines healing as an internal process of self-awareness, vulnerability, and non-judgmental presence with one's thoughts, emotions, sensations, and spiritual being.-She reflects on pain and discomfort as invitations to pause, reassess, and ask different questions rather than immediately responding from fear.-She explains the four seasons of well-being: Discover, Transform, Awaken, and Integrate, describing how each season reflects a different state of energy, posture, emotion, and awareness.-She introduces the triad of change—perception, behavior, and structure—and explains how sustainable change often happens when two of these elements come together.-She discusses the energetic intelligences: bioenergetic, emotional, lower thought, higher thought, soul, and universal spirit, and how each relates to different layers of experience and expression.-She closes the teaching portion by reading the seven unifying principles of Reorganizational Healing, emphasizing choice, available energy, pain as an interruption, and the importance of honoring the season one is currently in.Questions discussed in this webinar include:-Is there an incentive to want to change behavior?-Do you believe the body expresses our needs through illness even if the need is unconscious?-Do you yourself have an example from your own life where all of this applies to, just to clarify the steps and how it progresses?Throughout the webinar, Tatiana emphasizes that discomfort can carry energy and information, that healing begins with awareness, and that each person has the choice to relate to symptoms, stress, and life challenges as opportunities for transformation rather than simply problems to eliminate.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

Leaders in volatile and unpredictable markets are often asked to steady the course and stabilize the ship. But what if chaos is the new business normal? Organizational change expert Niven Postma says any leader navigating uncertainty today needs to harness a new type of workplace intelligence. She points to the Stockdale Paradox, where the brutality of the moment is recognized as the reality. Pragmatism, therefore, is the most required skill of the future leader. Without that, Niven argues, the most idealistic leaders quickly become cynics, and cynics become complicit to the complacency of corporate life.---Learn more:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comLearn more about Niven at nivenpostma.comConnect with Niven on LinkedIn Grab a copy of Niven's book If you don't do politics, politics will do youCheck out Niven's LinkedIn courses on organizational leadership---⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!---Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

The consumer journey is under one of the greatest transformations since, well, ecommerce. As AI and agents enable consumers to ask their individual questions, it is the challenger brands that are adapting to meet the moment and steal market share across many categories. Organizational silos are one of the greatest impediments to serving the consumer how, when, and where they want it. Lynsey Sweales, International Consultant & Facilitator, Founder of Cognitive Union, has found a solution that has transformed the operations of many brands. You all need to talk to each other. It's the power of education and empathy, centered on the consumer, that has successfully brought silos down. Lynsey explains it all to us.

Welcome back to Fraudology.Today's a solo episode built around a study that puts a real number on something fraud leaders have been debating for years: does organizational convergence for fraud actually move the needle on performance, or is it just an org chart trend?For years, we've all benchmarked ourselves the same way. Approval rate here, chargeback rate there, maybe a manual review rate if we're being thorough. But the problem I've seen play out in company after company is this: optimize your approval rate, and your chargeback rate quietly creeps up. Optimize your chargeback rate by blocking more, and your approval rate takes the hit. You're never seeing the whole picture, just one lever moving at the expense of the other.The Precise Yes metric is the headline finding from a new Liminal and Accertify study, but the study itself is much bigger than one metric. It surveyed 250 senior fraud, security, and risk leaders across five industry verticals specifically to test the thesis of organizational convergence for fraud and cybersecurity. I walk through what the data says, what forms of convergence actually improve fraud performance, and which ones don't move the needle at all.This is a data-heavy episode, and I mean that as a compliment to the study. If you've ever needed a fraud KPI for CFO reporting that actually captures the full tradeoff between approvals and fraud loss, this is the one to bring back to your team. What you'll hear in this episode:How the Precise Yes metric is calculated, and why approval rate vs chargeback rate alone can hide the real story of your fraud programWhy organizational convergence for fraud and cybersecurity is being driven by operational necessity, not executive mandates, and what that means for how teams are actually changingWhy login has become the new fraud control point, with account takeover, credential stuffing, and bot attacks all converging at that stageWhy 63.6% of organizations still cannot distinguish a cyber attack from a fraud attack in real time, and what that costs them operationallyHow CISO fraud ownership is showing up earlier in the vendor decision process, and why board level fraud reporting is becoming a real governance topicWhy partial integration is the highest-performing model for organizational convergence for fraud, and why pushing to full structural integration can actually erode the domain expertise that makes teams effectiveWhy sharing just two or more use cases between fraud and cyber teams is the real performance tipping point, delivering a 1.5x improvement in fraud performance scoresWhy separate budgets between fraud and cyber teams actually outperform unified ones, contradicting one of the most common assumptions about convergenceHow fraud metrics by industry vertical vary, including why ecommerce and retail lead the pack while marketplaces lag significantly behindWhat the study found on agentic commerce fraud controls and synthetic identity fraud in ecommerce specificallyWho should listen:Fraud leaders looking for a fraud KPI for CFO reporting that captures the real tradeoff between approvals and fraud loss.Anyone building a business case for fraud and cybersecurity convergence and needing real data to support it.CISOs and security leaders increasingly involved in fraud tool evaluation and vendor decisions.Fraud teams trying to figure out where to start with shared fraud and cyber use cases without a full reorg.Ecommerce and marketplace fraud professionals wanting an ecommerce fraud benchmarking study to compare their own performance against.Anyone responsible for board level fraud reporting or making the case for fraud visibility at the executive level.

Episode Summary Every rollout gets sold as a transformation. Torrence Smith makes the case that the word itself is part of the problem. In this episode, host Justin Lake sits down with Torrence, an operating executive and enterprise operational excellence consultant, to talk about what it really takes to make change land on the frontline. Torrence argues that for the people in the field, most of the daily work stays the same after a new system goes in, often around eighty percent of it. Frame the change as a transformation and you hand workers a black cloud of the unknown, which is where fear and resistance grow. Frame it as a tweak, show them exactly what changes and what does not, and the anxiety drops. From there the conversation moves through what makes that possible: involving the frontline while the plan is still being written, having the low stakes conversations before the formal meeting, changing only the four or five levers that matter, and remembering that the people across the table are usually carrying more worry than they let on. He closes with the most analog advice the show has heard in a while. Buy a notebook.   Key Topics Why poor adoption costs credibility before it costs money Organizational memory, and why the last failed rollout follows the next one Nemawashi, the meeting before the meeting Surfacing resistance early, while it is still cheap to fix Why the cost of a mistake is lowest at the very start The hybrid kit philosophy: change the levers that matter, leave the rest alone Reframing a transformation as a tweak The anxiety people carry that never shows up in a status meeting Compliance versus commitment, alignment versus consensus Letting the field test workflows before go live   Episode Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:58 Welcome and guest introduction 01:35 The operational consequences of poor technology adoption 03:22 What lost credibility actually costs an organization 05:34 Overcoming the baggage from past implementations 07:47 Organizational memory and why the last rollout follows you 11:04 Nemawashi, the meeting before the meeting 14:32 Making people part of both the problem and the solution 17:03 Why the cost of a mistake is lowest at the start 21:01 The map is not the territory 27:04 How scale compounds the variables 29:51 The hybrid kit philosophy: change the levers that matter 31:41 We will give you a different spreadsheet 36:27 Digital tweak versus digital transformation 38:50 The anxiety people carry that you never see 48:28 Letting the field test workflows before go live 55:53 Compliance or commitment, alignment or consensus 57:34 One last piece of advice: keep a notebook   About Torrence Smith Torrence Smith is an operating executive and enterprise operational excellence consultant who helps organizations improve supply chain performance, ERP implementations, and operational excellence. He works at the intersection of technology, business transformation, and the people responsible for making change successful on the frontlines. His approach is people centered and built over a long career leading operational programs, with a focus on involving the field early and keeping change small enough for people to carry.   Resources Frontline Innovators Podcast: https://skyllful.com/podcast  Skyllful: https://skyllful.com 

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig deeper into Zac Jackson's claim that Dillon Gabriel was an organizational pick rather than Kevin Stefanski's, questioning why Andrew Berry would spend a top-100 pick on a player immediately labeled a career backup on a three-win team. They debate whether that framing will haunt Berry if Gabriel never develops, drawing a parallel to the pressure on Spencer Fano and the front office's uneven draft history at wide receiver and offensive line. The two also predict the Browns will use at least three quarterbacks this season, referencing the Myles Garrett trade as evidence the front office already knows this year isn't a real Super Bowl window.

He described a clinic structure that includes physical and occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, speech therapists, social workers, and collaboration with pulmonologists experienced in neuromuscular disease.Rana also outlined how the advent of disease-modifying therapies has transformed SMA from a largely fatal illness into a more manageable condition. He highlighted key advancements in therapeutics that have shifted priorities toward long-term wellness, including weight management, physical fitness, and emotional health. He noted persistent challenges in organizing and sustaining a specialized multidisciplinary team.

Top 5 Episodes Countdown Five episodes rose to the top over the last two years of this show. Trauma. Cash flow. Starting a nonprofit from scratch. Health equity. Organizational design. On the surface they have nothing in common. Underneath, all five are making the same argument, and none of them tell you to work harder.   Sarah pulled the download data on the last hundred episodes and ranked them across thirty-day, ninety-day, and lifetime windows. The same five came out on top every time. In this solo episode she counts them down and reads the lines that made each one land. In This Episode, What you'll hear: Dr. Melanie Gray on why all money is not good money, and how a grant your team can't deliver on manufactures overwhelm inside your own organization The capacity nobody budgets for, and why the strain almost always lands on your admin and finance staff Neil Shah on why net income hides your real financial story, and the number to watch instead Katerina Manoff on why grants have never worked for her organization, and what funds it instead Dr. Eugene Manley's one-sentence test for whether your program is actually equity work Pierre Berastain on nonprofits as civic laboratories, and what changes when you stop operating as society's backstop Why the sector that invented hospice, domestic violence shelters, and harm reduction gets asked to justify experiments that tech companies get praised for The through-line: your culture, your reporting, your funding model, and your experience of scarcity are all design choices. Design can be changed.   Every episode is linked below. Start anywhere. If you only have time for one, start with Pierre. If you're tired right now, start with Melanie. Linked Episodes Trauma Informed Leadership with Dr. Melanie Gray More Than Just Budgets: The Evolving Role of Nonprofit CFOs with Neil Shah How to Start and Run a High-Impact, Scalable Nonprofit with Katerina Manoff Leading An Equity Focused Nonprofit with Dr. Eugene Manley, Jr. Nonprofits Aren't Broken: The Design Is with Pierre Berastain About Your Host, Sarah Olivieri Bold, strategic, and refreshingly human… Sarah Olivieri is the go-to expert for conversations on aligned leadership, outcome delegation, and sustainable growth.She brings wit, warmth, and real-world wisdom to mission-driven founders, visionary CEOs, and change-makers who want more clarity, more joy, and more results. Most leaders hit a wall when success depends on them holding it all together. Sarah helps them change that by redefining leadership around outcomes instead of activity, empowering teams to own results that scale and freeing leaders to focus on the vision that drives them. A former director of three nonprofits and founder of five businesses, she has a rare ability to spot opportunity where others see chaos, shift stuck patterns, and build organizations that support both legacy and life. Sarah leads with the same mindset that made her an award-winning sailor: iterate on what works, stay focused in the storm, and never forget the joy of the journey.   Links Website: saraholivieri.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sarah-olivieri Be sure to subscribe to Inspired Nonprofit Leadership so that you don't miss a single episode, and while you're at it, won't you take a moment to write a short review and rate our show?

What if the biggest challenge facing therapists isn't burnout… but evolution? In this special bonus episode, Sarah shares her keynote from the inaugural Revolutionary Practice Summit, exploring why therapists must evolve—not just professionally, but personally—to meet the realities of practicing in today's world. Drawing from trauma theory, developmental psychology, leadership research, systems thinking, and her own experience as a therapist and group practice owner, Sarah offers a compelling vision for the future of psychotherapy. Rather than asking therapists to simply become more resilient, she invites us to expand our capacity for complexity, uncertainty, and collective care. In this keynote, Sarah explores: Why therapists must do their own work The hidden cost of pathological empathy Why self-care alone isn't enough Organizational trauma and unhealthy workplace cultures Vertical development and therapist maturity The "meta-crisis" shaping mental health today Power, leadership, and the future of psychotherapy Why healing must happen at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels Whether you're a therapist, supervisor, practice owner, social worker, or graduate student, this keynote is an invitation to imagine what our profession could become—and the role each of us plays in creating it.

Two professors—Jillian Peterson and James Densley—are combing through thousands of incidents of violence in workplaces, healthcare facilities, and schools to find actionable advice to prevent future crime. Then Security Management senior editor Megan Gates follows the trail of violent cases working their way through the justice system and a new U.S. federal rule on drone take-downs. Finally, we hear from Christian Poonwah, who offers drone-safety training in Ukraine to humanitarian and other nonmilitary staffers living and working in a 21st-century war zone.

Beth Goff-McMillan is CEO of SKG and Founder of FOLIO where she is passionate about helping organizations create environments that inspire people, elevate performance, and reflect purpose. Mike Petrusky asks Beth why she believes that workplace design should start with asking "why" and how FM leaders should focus on understanding the purpose behind bringing employees together and what the organization aims to achieve from the space. The physical office is not the strategy itself but a direct reflection of a company's strategy and desired outcomes for people and culture, so successful workplace innovation relies on the intersection of business vision and employee engagement. Beth says that "earning the commute" emphasizes the need to create inspiring, engaging workspaces that make employees want to come to the office and technology can help streamline the process, accelerate decision-making, and ensure thoughtful, repeatable approaches to workplace design. Leaders and facility management professionals must work strategically with HR and executive teams to support their people, so Mike and Beth offer the inspiration you will need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

“Organizational culture doesn't come from words on the wall, but culture depends on what gets rewarded, what gets tolerated, and what gets quietly punished when nobody is watching the wall.” In this solo episode, Meg Rentschler explores why organizations often act against their stated values when under pressure. Meg defines culture through practices that are modeled and measured, offering coaches five diagnostic questions closely related to the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. She shares a client story, along with a “Say-Do Audit” tool to identify whether company values are genuinely lived or simply fiction. Join us to learn more!Show Highlights:A working definition of culture that makes senseSee the gap and close the gap. Five questions and how they match with the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership:“What happened the last time someone on this team disagreed with a decision publicly?” (This aligns with “Enable others to ask questions.”)“What's something everyone on this team knows is true, but no one says aloud?” (This exposes the “Model the way” failure.)“Regarding the last person promoted here, what behavior got them promoted?” (This is a “Challenge the process” question in disguise.)“When was the last time this team missed a deadline or made a mistake? What happened next?” (This tests the “Encourage the heart” practice.)“If a brand new employee shadowed this team for one week, what would they conclude actually matters here?” (This is an “Inspire to shared vision” check.)Client examples from Meg about innovation vs. compliance“Your highest value in organizational culture work is not as a mural painter but as a mirror.”How to use the “Say-Do Audit” of an organization's stated valuesThe key is to let the team recognize and sit with the gap before moving to action.

Mentioned in this episode:Mentor ProgramIf you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show.

Why can two people leave the same meeting with completely different understandings?A newcomer's perspective reveals something experienced professionals often forget: work is far messier and less logical than it appears from the outside. In episode 273 of At The Table, Pat and Cody examine how fear, nonverbal communication, personality differences, and unspoken assumptions cause even healthy teams to misunderstand one another. They also explain how stronger meeting discipline, good intentions, and greater grace can help organizations navigate that messiness and move in the same direction.Topics explored in this episode:(00:00) A Newcomer's View of WorkPat shares a surprising observation from his son Michael's first summer working in an office environment.Michael notices that people can understand their jobs and speak the same language while still missing the deeper meaning behind one another's words.(04:31) Why Alignment Is So DifficultPat and Cody discuss why even successful companies are filled with the complications and misunderstandings that come with being human.Organizational health can become a significant competitive advantage, but getting everyone to row in the same direction requires more than frameworks and good intentions.(09:15) Fear and the Things People Do Not SayElectronic communication makes misunderstandings more likely, but even face-to-face conversations leave important meaning unspoken.Employees may withhold concerns because they fear appearing negative, losing relational capital, or being viewed as poor team players.(13:49) Building Clarity Before the Meeting EndsTeams can improve alignment by reviewing what they discussed, what they decided, and what needs to be communicated outside the room.Even disciplined teams should assume that some percentage of the apparent clarity in a meeting may be incomplete or misunderstood.(18:14) Grace, Good Intentions, and Healthy OrganizationsPersonality differences can cause people to interpret the same words literally, generally, or metaphorically, creating frustration even among people who trust one another.Healthy organizations acknowledge the messiness of work while hiring humble, hungry, and smart people who can assume the best and work through misunderstandings.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.
