Wann haben Sie das letzte Mal etwas Neues gelernt?War das Lernen geplant und strukturiert - also sogenanntes “formales Lernen”? Oder ist es eher aus dem Arbeitsalltag, beim Ausprobieren, Beobachten und im Austausch mit anderen entstanden - sogenanntes “informelles Lernen”?Wie zufrieden sind Sie mit dem Lernergebnis? Und woran messen Sie das überhaupt?Spätestens die Integration von künstlicher Intelligenz in den Arbeitsalltag zeigt: Lernen - und damit auch die Metakompetenz des “Lernen lernens” ist in unserer volatilen Arbeitswelt zu einer branchenübergreifenden Schlüsselkompetenz geworden.Doch wie können wir das Lernen noch besser erlernen?In dieser Folge von New Work Meets Science stellt sich Dr. Theresa Fehn gemeinsam mit Dr. Julian Decius die Frage, wie formales, informelles und selbstreguliertes Lernen sinnvoll zusammenspielen können und warum keine dieser Lernformen für sich allein die Lösung ist.Eine Folge über die vielleicht wichtigste Fähigkeit der Zukunft – und darüber, wie Organisationen die richtigen Bedingungen hierfür schaffen können.Viel Spaß beim Hören!⁠BlackBox/Open im Web⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlackBox/Open bei LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlackBox/Open bei Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Links & Quellen:Kirkpatrick-Modellhttps://assets.td.org/m/4a306d561507658e/original/TECHNIQUES-FOR-EVALUATING-TRAINING-PROGRAMS.pdfDonald L.

Episode 372: The Culture Work No One Warns You About in a Nonprofit Merger (Marcia Beckner)Episode SummaryToo many nonprofit leaders treat a merger as a last resort, proof that something failed, when it can be the boldest strategic move they make. In this episode, Marcia Beckner, Founder and CEO of Culture CARES® Global, reframes merger as a path to greater impact, drawing on her own experience founding MyLifeLine Cancer Foundation and merging it into the Cancer Support Community. She covers how to know when a merger is right, why ego is so often the real obstacle, and why culture, not finances or strategy, is where mergers quietly succeed or fail. Marcia shares her CARES® framework (Commitment, Appreciation, Respect, Engagement, Safety) as both a diagnostic and a roadmap for integrating two teams into one healthy, psychologically safe organization. Listeners will walk away seeing partnership not as surrender, but as a way to better fulfill their mission alongside others.About MarciaMarcia Beckner is the Founder and CEO of Culture CARES® Global, where she coaches nonprofit CEOs and executive directors to build healthy, inclusive workplaces and reduce sector burnout.

In this episode, Yanique Grant sits down with Dr. Kerriann M. Peart, organizational psychologist, executive coach, and founder of Island Rooted Co., for a conversation that connects leadership well-being directly to customer experience outcomes.Dr. Peart brings over 20 years of experience in organizational psychology, public health, and executive coaching, and her work challenges the idea that high performance should come at the expense of people. Drawing on her own journey as a Caribbean woman who navigated three cycles of burnout while building her consulting practice in corporate America, she offers leaders a grounded, practical framework for leading with clarity, cultural intelligence, and personal strategy.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEHow burned-out leaders show up to customers in three distinct patterns, and which one is the rarest and most powerfulWhy happy employees are defined by competence AND capacity, and how both translate directly to the customer experienceHow the anchored bias of "this is how we have always done it" is damaging customer interactions in Caribbean businessesThe difference between a growth mindset and an agile mindset, and why leaders in culturally diverse environments need the latterWhy humble leaders go further and last longer than those who demand to be followedThe one personal strategy shift that will change how customer experience professionals show up, even on their hardest daysBOOKS MENTIONEDThe Prophet by Kahlil GibranThe 48 Laws of Power by Robert GreeneThe Power of Now by Eckhart TolleCONNECT WITH DR.

Most business frameworks women are taught were designed for someone else. The playbook says pattern your company after proven models of success, but those models were built for a different kind of founder operating inside a different kind of system. Melissa McCann Tilton, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Criteria, has spent two decades scaling companies from $20M to $100M+ across automotive, logistics, and HR tech. She makes a case that stops you cold: AI does not create efficiency. AI creates amplification. If your decisions, your culture, and your hiring are strong, AI will multiply that strength. If they're broken, AI will multiply the damage. For women entrepreneurs stuck at the revenue ceiling, this is the episode that reframes everything: the old system is finally cracking, and the founders who understand what AI actually does, not automate but amplify, are the ones who will build what comes next.In this episode, Melissa McCann-Tilton, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Criteria and I talk about why she believes the next three to five years will be the most fascinating period in work history, and why women have a rare opening to rewrite the rules right now.Melissa is direct about AI in that it creates amplification vs. the efficiency most people tout. If judgment is bad, AI makes it worse. If your core is right, AI makes it stronger. Melissa and I get into why productivity is the wrong metric, why so many of us feel worthy only when we are producing, and how that harmful societal programming is one of the components that keeps so many women led businesses fighting so hard to break through the million-dollar revenue mark in our businesses.Listen to why breaking the rules might be the smartest business move women can make this year.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Henry Mullins, senior operations and strategy leader, and PhD in industrial-organizational psychology, to dig into what personality traits actually drive leadership performance in virtual and remote settings. Henry shares findings from his research on remote leadership, including where the existing literature falls short, the key theories connecting personality to leadership, and practical strategies you can apply to lead more effectively in a virtual environment. Our Guest: Dr. Henry Mullins Dr. Henry C. Mullins is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel whose career spanned more than thirty years across both enlisted and officer ranks. Beginning his service in 1992, he advanced through a wide range of leadership positions including platoon leader, company commander, battalion staff officer, brigade operations officer, and  brigade deputy commanding officer. His career included deployments to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and reflects a rare blend of tactical, operational, and executive‑level experience.After retiring from the military, Dr. Mullins transitioned into senior leadership roles in the private sector, focusing on technical delivery, organizational effectiveness, and people‑centered leadership. His work draws on both real‑world command experience and the science of human behavior and performance, giving him a distinctive perspective on how leaders and teams operate under pressure, adapt to change, and build sustainable cultures.Dr. Mullins holds a BA in Criminal Justice, an MA in Ancient & Classical History, and a PhD in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, where his research examined virtual leadership, personality, and performance. Today, he continues to support leaders, teams, and organizations seeking clarity, alignment, and measurable improvement—bringing a practitioner‑scholar approach to modern leadership challenges. Outside of his professional work, he stays active through martial arts, mountain biking, skiing, and public service. He lives in Georgia with his wife Buffy and their youngest daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, and is the proud father of Courtney and Madison—herself a U.S. Army veteran.

Sommige mensen lijken het te hebben, anderen niet. Als ze het hebben, dan voelen we ons daar tot aangetrokken, willen we luisteren en vinden we dat boeiend. Charisma is een best vaag concept.

How can leaders create more clarity in uncertain times? In this episode, Kevin and Karl Hebenstreit discuss why clarity has become such a critical leadership need, especially in uncertain times, and why so many performance problems can be traced back to assumptions instead of explicit conversations. They talk about the danger of relying on the Golden Rule in leadership, the importance of moving toward the Platinum Rule by understanding how others want to be treated, and the reality that expectations must flow in every direction, not just from leader to team member. Karl shares practical insights on making one-on-ones more effective, keeping goals current as priorities change, and creating the consistency, communication, coaching, and compassion that build confidence and engagement.

One of the reasons I began this podcast is that I believe the stories we tell become the legacy we leave. And for far too long, too many stories have been muted; especially those of women.  Today's guest has made it her life's work to change that. Before she ever stepped behind a microphone, Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson spent nearly twenty years in higher education leadership. With a doctorate in Organizational Psychology, she led institutional assessment, accreditation, research, and compliance efforts across multiple universities. She taught psychology, statistics, and leadership. She built systems, analyzed data, helped institutions articulate their mission and measure their impact. In other words — she understands voice at the structural level. But in 2020, during a season of global disruption and personal reflection, Julie made a courageous pivot. She stepped away from institutional leadership and into the entrepreneurial dream she had carried since earning her doctorate.  What began as curiosity about podcasting quickly became a calling. In 2022, she launched The Story of My Pet — a show born of her lifelong love of animals. What started as storytelling about beloved pets expanded into advocacy, education, rescue, fostering, and adoption — and is now ranked in the top 5% of podcasts globally. In 2024, she launched Podcast Your Story, helping purpose-driven women grow their visibility, confidence, and business through podcast hosting and guesting. And her newest podcast, Still Becoming: Women Unmuted, might be her most personal work yet. Because when women unmute their stories, something powerful happens. We remember who we are, help others feel seen and heard, have permission to speak, to share, and to be fully human. From executive leadership to entrepreneurship, from fear of visibility to helping thousands step into it…Julie's journey embodies exactly what Still Becoming is about.

Talking about money in families is hard. Talking about legacy is even harder. In this conversation with host Syama Bunten, Amy Castoro gets into why so many wealth transfers go sideways. Not because of bad legal structures or poor planning, but because families never learn to talk to each other. About what they actually need. About what they're afraid of. About what the money means to them and what they want it to mean for the next generation. When those conversations don't happen, conflict fills the gap and the wealth that was supposed to bring a family together ends up pulling it apart. Amy talks about the pressure that lands on the next generation, the damage that lingers after family conflict over money, and why women are increasingly at the center of these conversations as decision-makers, caregivers, and keepers of family culture. But before all of that, she shares where her perspective actually comes from. She grew up watching her mother stretch every dollar, lead with generosity, and hold things together through sheer resourcefulness. That upbringing gave her a particular lens on what wealth actually means and what it costs families who treat it as a financial problem instead of a human one. It's that backstory that explains how she became CEO of The Williams Group and why she approaches this work the way she does. This episode is part of a larger conversation Syama is building at Wealth Catalyst, salons and summits where women talk candidly about money, legacy, and what it actually takes to get it right. If that's the room you've been looking for, find a salon near you or join us at the Wealth Catalyst Summit in New York on May 14th.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week we're deconstructing the "cockroaches of the employment world," exploring a new AI tool that helps you nail your next interview, and digging into the data to see if hiring for "culture fit" is actually a good idea.

Send us Fan MailBringing in a new executive sounds like a strategic win on paper. But inside the organization, it often creates something far more complicated.Disappointment. Jealousy. Quiet resistance.In this episode, we unpack what really happens when you hire someone over internal candidates and disrupt existing expectations around advancement, influence, and status.This isn't about onboarding. It's about leadership under tension.You'll learn how to anticipate the psychological reactions that don't show up in meetings but drive behavior behind the scenes. From reluctant acceptance to subtle sabotage, we walk through the patterns leaders often miss and how to address them before they erode trust and performance.We also break down the difference between proactive and reactive leadership in these moments. What should you say before the hire is made? How do you handle the people who feel overlooked? And what do you do when you sense others are quietly building a case against your new leader?You'll walk away with practical language, clear leadership moves, and a sharper understanding of how status, perception, and emotion shape team dynamics during leadership transitions.This episode is for leaders who want to do more than make the right hire. It's for those who want to make that hire actually work.If you've ever introduced a new leader into a team that wasn't fully on board, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar and immediately useful.

In episode 114, we sit down with Dr. Verena Haun, Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Würzburg, to explore a question many of us feel every Friday afternoon: Why is it sometimes easy to switch off from work—and other times almost impossible?Drawing on a multi‑week study of more than 150 employees, Dr. Haun's research uncovers three distinct patterns of psychological detachment across weekends:* High and increasing detachment, where people start off disengaged and unwind even more.* Moderate but improving detachment, where people slowly let go of work and ultimately feel most energized by Monday.* Consistently low detachment, where work lingers mentally all weekend long.We discuss why some people struggle to mentally switch off, how unfinished tasks and unresolved problems make detachment more difficult, and why problem‑solving conversations on Friday nights—not supplemental work—predict healthier recovery patterns. You can find Dr. Haun here (https://www.psychologie.uni-wuerzburg.de/ao/team/prof-dr-verena-c-haun/)You can find the paper published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology here (https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2026-99066-001.html) This is a public episode.

How to design meetings with purpose so they actually move work forward.Meetings are a necessary part of work. But for many people, they're also a major source of frustration. According to Rebecca Hinds, meetings don't have to feel like a drain—better meetings start when we stop treating them as a default and start designing them with intention.Hinds is the author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done, and a future-of-work expert who founded the Work Innovation Lab at Asana and the Work AI Institute at Glean. She argues that the problem isn't meetings themselves, but the sheer number of poorly designed ones, and by being more thoughtful about what actually deserves synchronous time, teams can redesign how they communicate in the workplace “Meetings are the most important product in our entire organization, and yet they're also the least optimized,” she says. “The first step is recognizing we need to be much more intentional about how we're designing meetings.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hinds and host Matt Abrahams discuss why meetings so often go wrong—and what it takes to make them work. Whether you're leading a team, trying to protect focus time, or simply hoping to spend less of your week in calendar invites, Hinds offers practical frameworks for designing meetings with purpose so they become a tool people actually value.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Rebecca HindsRebecca's Book: Your Best Meeting EverEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings Ep.125 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 2: Key Ingredients for Effective Meetings Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:42) - Why Meetings Feel Broken (02:57) - The Default-To-Meeting Problem (03:50) - Treat Meetings Like A Product (05:10) - Meeting Doomsday Reset (06:40) - The 4-DCEO Test (08:43) - Designing Better Meetings (10:05) - Creating a Meeting Agenda (12:58) - Context And Meeting Fatigue (14:06) - Memo-First Meetings (16:11) - The Final Three Questions (21:02) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Strawberry.me.

Through Pieces of Miss Mini, she shares stories, lessons, and beauty from her global journey, defying any single definition of identity. She holds four degrees, including an MBA from INSEAD and a Master's in Industrial & Organizational Psychology.In this conversation, we explore how success can quietly become an identity, why leaving a city that doesn't fit can unlock momentum, and what it takes to rebuild when grief doesn't have a name. Padmini speaks candidly about intuition, loss, spiritual practice grounded in logic, managing big energy, and cultivating aligned friendships—without falling into comparison.For creators and leaders navigating burnout, reinvention, or a longing for belonging, this episode offers clarity, courage, and a reminder to tend your own garden.Find Padmini at Pieces of Miss Mini on YouTube and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/piecesofmissmini/https://www.youtube.com/@piecesofmissminiSend BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate: Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!

A forthcoming article by our guests today – appropriately titled “Rethinking Stardom" - argues that: Star performers are increasingly capturing the attention of both researchers and practitioners alike. However, studies on these uber-performers often employ disparate definitions, theoretical foundations and assumptions, and methods and analyses, which creates significant tension and confusion in the comparison of findings and the formation of a clear understanding of what star performance truly entails and its impact on individuals, teams, and organizations. To better explore the concept of star performers in organisations I am delighted to be joined by the two authors of this paper: Professor Ernest O'Boyle, Dale Coleman Chair of Management and Professor at Indiana University - Kelley School of Business, and Martin Gotz, Senior Teaching and Research Assistant in the Department of Psychology at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.The article discussed in the interview is available here: O'Boyle, E. H., & Götz, M. (2025). Rethinking stardom: A relativistic approach to studying the absolute best performers.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

Pre-order a copy of Daniella Mestyanek Young's book, The Culting of America, here: https://amzn.to/3JC1IHD✖️✖️✖️Daniella was born a third-generation member of the infamous Children of God religious cult, and grew up being trafficked around the world, before escaping that life and moving to America at age 15. She put herself through high school and graduated as college valedictorian before commissioning into the US Army as an intelligence officer. That's where she really started to think about group behavior…and seeing it, well, everywhere.Daniella deployed twice to Afghanistan (2011, 2014) and became a member of one of the Army's first Female Engagement teams (an experiment that put women into deliberate ground combat for the first time in Army history, and eventually led to the repeal of the sexist combat ban and the gender desegregation of the entire US military).She is a proud daughter of the 101st, (that's the unit in Band of Brothers), and a recipient of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (from Obama, y'all). She earned her Master of Arts in Organizational Psychology at the Harvard Extension School, where she focused her research on group behavior, social norms, culture, extremism, leadership, demagoguery and cults.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana and guest Ryan W. McClellan (life coach, entrepreneur, and author) cut through buzzwords to show how leaders and teams can make mental health real at work. We unpack job insecurity, why people fear speaking up, and how simple, human actions—walk-the-floor check-ins, micro-breaks, and open ideation rooms—lift both morale and performance. We also cover Gen Z's influence on boundaries, the 52–17 focus rhythm, and practical privacy-first options when someone needs help but doesn't want to involve HR. Direct, evidence-minded, and immediately usable for CEOs, managers, and teams across industries.   About the Guest  : Ryan W. McClellan is a certified life coach specializing in mindset, self-esteem, and leadership. He has launched nine businesses, holds a Master's in Marketing and a BA in Organizational Psychology, and is the author of six books. He mentors university students and consults on people-first performance.   Key Takeaways: Fix job insecurity first. Replace “report-only leadership” with weekly floor time: ask, “How's your day—what's getting in the way?” From policy to practice. Pilot one change for two weeks (meeting-free focus block, flexible start window, or micro-breaks) and measure impact. Medium leash management. Autonomy with accountability beats command-and-control. Coach privately; praise publicly. Use the 52–17 rhythm. 52 minutes of deep work + 17 minutes of rest sustains cognition and quality. Culture is felt, not framed. Employees value a workplace where they can be themselves—and will trade higher pay for a healthier environment. Gen Z is a feature, not a bug. Clear boundaries and candid feedback raise the bar for everyone. Confidential help options. If HR involvement feels unsafe, suggest off-hour or lunch-break access to licensed support or coaching; protect privacy while encouraging professional care. Leaders model the standard. Your calm, your boundaries, and your deep-work block license your team to do the same. Before discipline, ask why. Performance dips often have explainable causes (e.g., caregiving); solutions may be simple. Crisis note. If anyone is at risk of self-harm, seek immediate help from local emergency services or your national crisis hotline.   How to Connect with the Guest   Email: ryan@rwmcc.com Search: “Ryan W.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're talking values based dating with Kelsea Warren! Picture this:  you date based on timing, chemistry, or pressure—like friends settling down or feeling like you're running out of time.  While this can all be very real, what if dating wasn't about chasing a spark or checking boxes, and instead was about grounding yourself in your values? What if clarity on your values could not only help you choose a partner—but also prevent dating burnout, heartbreak, and the feeling of losing yourself in the process? To explore this, we're joined today by Kelsea Warren, back on the show! Kelsea helps individuals and businesses elevate wellbeing and prevent burnout by identifying and aligning with their core values and after this episode, I think values based dating just might be your next dating strategy. We'll talk about what dating values actually are, how they're different from surface-level preferences, and why getting clear on them can shift your entire approach to love. We'll explore how to bring values into the dating conversation without scaring someone off, and how to spot green flags that someone shares your values—even if they don't say it directly. So, whether you're new to dating, stuck in patterns that don't feel good anymore, or just craving more intentional connection, this episode will help you build relationships that align with who you are.

We talk plenty on this program about how frustrating it can be to try and function under poor leadership. Even if the team is strong, if they don't know (or worse, understand) their direction, then it will always be an uphill battle. But my guest this week faced a situation I don't know if we've ever covered on the show:What do you do when the Leader you THOUGHT you wanted to be collides with who you want to be as a Person?After serving four years in the Army, Ryan Crittenden left with mixed emotions but a passion for leadership. He would go on to earn his Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology, stepping out into the professional world, eager to take on a mentor. And while the journey that followed was far from smooth, it would become the inspiration for his latest book, “Becoming the Compass”. Ryan and I unpack the benefits of Strengths-Based Coaching, how building your talents shouldn't start at the bottom of your skill-set, and the unbreakable link between Trust and Time. Enjoy the show. 

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with occupational health psychologist Dr. Christina Guthier, author of Joyfully Exhausted, about the often misunderstood concept of burnout. We discuss the idea that not all exhaustion is bad, explore the difference between joyful and harmful exhaustion, and examine the effort-reward imbalance that many self-employed people face. Christina emphasizes the importance of managing our energy and recovering from hidden efforts we may not even realize are draining us. Our conversation is a refreshing reminder that it's okay — and even healthy — to love your work, as long as you prioritize recovery and recognize your limits. Since childhood, Christina was fascinated to observe different states of exhaustion in adults after work (including unpaid care work). At Ruhr-University Bochum, she majored in organizational psychology, conducted corporate social responsibility (CSR) field-research as student assistant at the marketing department, and worked at eligo GmbH where she helped develop recruiting software. During her M.Sc. Psychology at Heidelberg University, she majored in Organizational Behaviour and Adaptive Cognition learning a lot about the complexity of performance ratings and leadership behavior as well as cognitive biases and decision heuristics. At the same time, Christina also completed her train-the-trainer certificate during her internship at the career services and development department at Mannheim Business School. Then she focused on occupational health psychology (particularly on burnout research) during her PhD at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. Christina's PhD thesis on "How to create healthier study and work environments" got awarded with the Alfred Teves dissertation award 2020. Additionally, her meta-analysis on the reciprocal relationship between job stressors and burnout (published in Psychological Bulletin) got awarded with the Schmidt-Hunter Meta-Analysis Award 2022 by the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (division of the American Psychological Association). Finally, as a self-employed scientist, she has started to translate (her) research insights into actionable advice by giving a TEDx talk, getting interviewed for German media outlets (e.g., Der Spiegel, deutschlandfunk nova), and writing articles for different journals and magazines (e.g., Leader to Leader, change magazine). Additionally, she has supported organizations as a speaker, trainer, and coach with shifting their mindsets regarding exhaustion and recovery.

Hey team! Our guest today is Dr. Otito Iwuchukwu, who is here to talk about the emotional and psychological aspects of belonging and how it impacts our day-to-day lives. Dr. Iwuchukwu has a Master of Arts in Organizational Psychology from the College of Psychology and Counseling, a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, with a specialization in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, from Temple University, and is currently an Associate Professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Her scholarly contributions appear in a range of peer-reviewed and indexed publications and have been presented at numerous research meetings and symposia across the world. Additionally, Dr. Iwuchukwu has recently written The Belonging Paradox, a book that presents a new way to understand belonging as an adaptive journey rather than a static destination. In this episode, we talk about why belonging is a dynamic, ongoing process, not a fixed state, and how we can create more inclusive environments for ourselves and others. We'll also discuss how masking impacts our sense of belonging, the role boundaries play in maintaining our authenticity, and the importance of giving ourselves and others grace. If you've ever struggled with finding your place, especially in social settings or work environments, you'll find practical tools in this conversation for navigating those tough moments.

Belonging isn't a fixed state, but an ongoing process that changes with both your internal state and the external environment. Recognizing this can help you manage expectations and frustrations when your sense of belonging fluctuates. 2. Recognize that you don't have to belong to every group, and not all groups are meant for a deep, personal connection. Don't force yourself to belong in every situation; if a group or environment doesn't feel right, it's okay to step back. 3. You don't have to be liked by everyone. Instead, it's important for us to focus on finding spaces where we can truly belong. It's about finding authentic connections, not chasing superficial acceptance.
