Episode 1862: Christine Comaford outlines a blueprint for engaging millennial employees by shifting away from outdated management models and toward purpose-driven, strength-based cultures. Her insights reveal that millennials crave meaning, real-time feedback, and development, not ping-pong tables or perks, and organizations that adapt will unlock a powerful, often untapped, talent pool. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://smarttribesinstitute.com/got-millennials-heres-culture-need/ Quotes to ponder: "Organizations shouldn't ignore weaknesses. Rather, they should minimize weaknesses and maximize strengths." "Indifference is a company-killer." "Millennials don't want annual reviews, they want ongoing conversations."
Episode Summary In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, we dive into a powerful conversation with Nate, CEO of Form 100 Consulting, an agile technology firm that hires military veterans. Together, we explore what it really means to focus on core competencies in a world obsessed with chasing trends—especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. Focusing on What Matters Nate emphasizes the danger of business “fluff”—initiatives that look exciting but distract from the organization's core mission. We discuss how easily companies get pulled off track by AI hype and lose sight of what actually drives value. Both of us agree that clarity of mission and disciplined execution are what truly sustain success. AI Implementation: Systems Before Software We unpack why so many organizations fail at AI implementation. The core issue? Automating broken systems. Before adding automation, leaders must first understand workflows, engage the people doing the work, and align process improvements with clear outcomes. The discussion also explores lean methodology and how technology should enhance human capability—not replace it. Automation and Efficiency Our conversation turns to how automation affects staffing and productivity. I share insights from past downturns where organizations reduced teams but maintained output through smarter workflows. We agree that while automation can remove jobs, it can also elevate roles and help businesses grow—if it's done with purpose. We also highlight the risk of knowledge loss as experienced workers retire, reminding leaders that efficiency must never come at the cost of wisdom. Adaptability and Incremental Progress We examine why even major corporations, including Fortune 500 giants, struggle to survive. Nate and I discuss the importance of adaptability, addressing constraints, and embracing incremental progress—especially when integrating AI. True transformation happens step by step, not through one big innovation. Data-Driven Growth Without the Paralysis I share an example of a client stuck in “analysis paralysis” due to too much data. The takeaway: data should serve decision-making, not dominate it. We explore how to build centralized systems that streamline insights and connect back to strategy. I also reference General Motors' missteps in the 1980s as a lesson on the risks of ignoring core strengths in the pursuit of diversification. Balancing Planning and Action We discuss the challenge of overplanning versus underplanning. Nate explains that effective leadership requires making informed decisions without having every answer. This means building psychological safety within teams, encouraging learning through mistakes, and avoiding “level one thinking”—where leaders react rather than anticipate. Consulting Insights and Shared Experiences Nate shares insights about his work at form100consulting.com, helping organizations improve execution and agility. I reflect on my own consulting journey with small businesses and nonprofits, from psychotherapy practices to after-school LEGO robotics programs, and the lessons I carried from my time in the Air Force into business leadership. Human Connection in the Age of Automation We close with a conversation about marketing and human connection. Both of us agree that while digital platforms like LinkedIn have become saturated with automation, audiences are craving authenticity. The future of business belongs to those who bring back the personal touch—conversations, community, and genuine connection.
In this deep, mythic conversation, we welcome Brant Elwood, author of Gods, Heroes and Groups: Relational Dynamics through Mythic Archetypes and an MA in social-organizational psychology. Brant blends mythopoetic lineage with practical organizational insight to reveal the unconscious dynamics that govern how groups behave — in communities, workplaces, and treatment settings. We explore: How mythic archetypes (gods, heroes, tricksters) show up in group roles and organizational life Rites of passage work with young men during the pandemic and what that revealed about leadership, belonging, and responsibility The group unconscious — patterns we enact without awareness and how they shape decision-making, conflict, and culture Practical ways leaders and community members can be mindful of their roles so they don't unconsciously repeat damaging patterns Why integrating mythic thinking helps organizations surface the undiscussed and rediscover healthier relational dynamics This episode is for leaders, therapists, organizational consultants, and anyone curious about the hidden stories that run our groups. Brant's approach offers a poetic but practical map for recognizing the forces that shape group life — and for acting with conscious intention instead of falling into unconscious roles. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.

BONUS: Organizations as Ecosystems — Understanding Complexity, Innovation, and the Three-Body Problem at Work In this fascinating conversation about complex adaptive systems, Simon Holzapfel helps us understand why traditional planning and control methods fail in knowledge work — and what we can do instead. Understanding Ecosystems vs. Systems "Complex adaptive systems are complex in nature and adaptive in that they evolve over time. That's different from a static system." — Simon Holzapfel Simon introduces the crucial distinction between mechanical systems and ecosystems. While mechanical systems are predictable and static, ecosystems — like teams and organizations — are complex, adaptive, and constantly evolving. The key difference lies in the interactions among team members, which create emergent properties that cannot be predicted by analyzing individuals separately. Managers often fall into the trap of focusing on individuals rather than the interactions between them, missing where the real magic happens. This is why understanding your organization as an ecosystem, not a machine, fundamentally changes how you lead. In this segment, we refer to the Stella systems modeling application. The Journey from Planning to Emergence "I used to come into class with a lesson plan — doop, doop, doop, minute by minute agenda. And then what I realized is that I would just completely squash those questions that would often emerge from the class." — Simon Holzapfel Simon shares his transformation from rigid classroom planning to embracing emergence. As a history and economics teacher for 10 years, he learned that over-planning kills the spontaneous insights that make learning powerful. The same principle applies to leadership: planning is essential, but over-planning wastes time and prevents novelty from emerging. The key is separating strategic planning (the "where" and "why") from tactical execution (the "how"), letting teams make local decisions while leaders focus on alignment with the bigger picture. "Innovation Arrives Stochastically" "Simply by noticing the locations where you've had your best ideas, we notice the stochasticness of arrival. Might be the shower, might be on a bike ride, might be sitting in traffic, might be at your desk — but often not." — Simon Holzapfel Simon unpacks the concept of stochastic emergence — the idea that innovation cannot be scheduled or predicted in advance. Stochastic means something is predictable over large datasets but not in any given moment. You know you'll have ideas if you give yourself time and space, but you can't predict when or where they'll arrive. This has profound implications for managers who try to control when and how innovation happens. Knowledge work is about creating things that haven't existed before, so emergence is what we rely on. Try to squash it with too much control, and it simply won't happen. In this segment, we refer to the Systems Innovation YouTube channel. The Three-Body Problem: A Metaphor for Teams "When you have three nonlinear functions working at the same time within a system, you have almost no ability to predict its future state beyond just some of the shortest time series data." — Simon Holzapfel Simon uses the three-body problem from physics as a powerful metaphor for organizational complexity. In physics, when you have three bodies (like planets) influencing each other, prediction becomes nearly impossible. The same is true in business — think of R&D, manufacturing, and sales as three interacting forces. The lesson: don't think you can master this complexity. Work with it. Understand it's a system. Most variability comes from the system itself, not from any individual person. This allows us to depersonalize problems — people aren't good or bad, systems can be improved. When teams understand this, they can relax and stop treating every unpredictable moment as an emergency. Coaching Leaders to Embrace Uncertainty "I'll start by trying to read their comfort level. I'll ask about their favorite teachers, their most hated teachers, and I'll really try to bring them back to moments in time that were pivotal in their own development." — Simon Holzapfel How do you help analytical, control-oriented leaders embrace complexity and emergence? Simon's approach is to build rapport first, then gently introduce concepts based on each leader's background. For technical people who prefer math, he'll discuss narrow tail distributions and fat tails. For humanities-oriented leaders, he uses narrative and storytelling. The goal is to get leaders to open up to possibilities without feeling diminished. He might suggest small experiments: "Hold your tongue once in a meeting" or "Ask questions instead of making statements." These incremental changes help managers realize they don't have to be superhuman problem-solvers who control everything. Giving the Board a Number: The Paradox of Prediction "Managers say we want scientific management, but they don't actually want that. They want predictive management." — Simon Holzapfel Simon addresses one of the biggest tensions in agile adoption: leaders who say "I just need to give the board a number" while also wanting innovation and adaptability. The paradox is clear — you cannot simultaneously be open to innovation and emergent possibilities while executing a predetermined plan with perfect accuracy. This is an artifact of management literature that promoted the "philosopher king" manager who knows everything. But markets are too movable, consumer tastes vary too much, and knowledge work is too complex for any single person to control. The burnout we see in leaders often comes from trying to achieve an impossible standard. In this segment, we refer to the episodes with David Marquet. Resources for Understanding Complexity "Eric Beinhocker's book called 'The Origin of Wealth' is wonderful. It's a very approachable and well-researched piece that shows where we've been and where we're going in this area." — Simon Holzapfel Simon recommends two key resources for anyone wanting to understand complexity and ecosystems. First, Eric Beinhocker's "The Origin of Wealth" explains how we developed flawed economic assumptions based on 19th-century Newtonian physics, and why we need to evolve our understanding. Second, the Systems Innovation YouTube channel offers brilliant short videos perfect for curious, open-minded managers. Simon suggests a practical approach: have someone on your team watch a video and share what they learned. This creates shared language around complexity and makes the concepts less personal and less threatening. The Path Forward: Systems Over Individuals "As a manager, our goal is to constantly evaluate the performance of the system, not the people. We can always put better systems in place. We can always improve existing systems. But you can't tell people what to do — it's not possible." — Simon Holzapfel The conversation concludes with a powerful insight from Deming's work: about 95% of a system's productivity is linked to the system itself, not individual performance. This reframes the manager's role entirely. Instead of trying to control people, focus on improving systems. Instead of treating burnout as individual failure, see it as information that something in the system isn't working. Organizations are ever-changing ecosystems with dynamic properties that can only be observed, never fully predicted. This requires a completely different way of thinking about management — one that embraces uncertainty, values emergence, and trusts teams to figure things out within clear strategic boundaries.

Most organizations say they value professional development. They talk about it in meetings. They put it in their values statements. They mention it in performance reviews.But when you look closer, There's no actual strategy.No clear development plans. No accountability. No systematic way to build the next generation of leaders.Just good intentions. And good intentions don't develop people.Here's what I see: Organizations that have real development strategies, with teeth, with accountability, with implementation, get dramatically different results:✅ Higher engagement (people feel invested in)✅ Greater satisfaction (people see a future)✅ Stronger contribution (people perform at higher levels)✅ More confidence (people know they're growing)But it requires more than just annual reviews and "professional development conversations."It requires a system...A Personal Development Plan (PDP) that's not just HR paperwork, but an actual strategic tool.In this week's newsletter and podcast, I'm breaking down:

In this OnBase episode, host Chris Moody reconnects with marketing visionary Jon Miller for a deep dive into the evolution of B2B marketing and the transformative role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of go-to-market strategy.Jon shares his remarkable journey, from studying physics to co-founding Marketo and Engagio, joining Demandbase, and now launching his next venture at the cutting edge of AI. He reflects on the lessons learned from past technology revolutions, drawing parallels between the early internet era and today's AI boom.Listeners gain an inside look at how AI is fundamentally changing both software innovation and buyer behavior, why marketers must shift from quantity to quality-driven personalization, and what it takes to build organizations that thrive in an AI-first world.This episode is packed with insights for anyone navigating marketing's AI transformation, from creative storytellers to data-driven tacticians.Key TakeawaysThe Biggest Shift Since the Internet AI isn't just another tech trend, it's as transformative as the rise of the internet. We're entering a new era where software can do things we never imagined, enabling businesses that couldn't exist before.The “Jagged Frontier” of AI AI excels at some tasks and fails at others. The key is daily experimentation, understanding where AI amplifies your strengths and where human oversight is indispensable.From Quantity to Quality The goal isn't to send more emails, it's to deliver more relevant experiences. AI's true power lies in helping marketers achieve genuine one-to-one personalization through smarter orchestration, not mass automation.The Human – AI Partnership Future success lies in collaboration: humans provide creativity and empathy; AI handles data, optimization, and orchestration. Together, they create outcomes neither could achieve alone.Culture Determines AI Success Technology adoption starts with leadership. Organizations must build AI fluency into their culture, encouraging training, experimentation, and open sharing of prompts and insights.Emotion Drives Storytelling Even in B2B, emotion matters. Great storytelling taps into curiosity, excitement, and drama, whether through stealth launches, community intrigue, or relatable human experiences.Marketing Measurement Is Broken B2B marketers are still judged on MQLs and short-term results, despite the nonlinear reality of buying behavior.

By Adam Turteltaub Employees may trust an AI chatbot more than they trust you, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, if it leads to more reporting. In this podcast, Debbie Sabatini Hennelly, Founder & President of Resiliti shares that a recent survey conducted by CaseIQ reveals that nearly 70% of respondents expressed no concerns about AI being involved in the helpline process. This openness is driven by several key factors: increased anonymity, ease of use, and a perception that AI offers a fairer, more impartial experience than speaking directly with a human. These findings underscore a broader theme that continues to emerge in conversations about helplines: trust. Employees are more likely to report concerns or misconduct when they trust the system—when they believe their information will be handled confidentially, their identity protected, and their report taken seriously. Not surprisingly, they also want to understand how their information is being used and how their anonymity is being safeguarded. This is especially important when helplines are outsourced to third-party vendors. Communicating clearly that the helpline is external—and therefore more secure and impartial—can go a long way in building trust. But transparency doesn't stop there. Employees also want to know what happens after they make a report. What's the process? What can they expect next? Setting clear expectations and following through with updates helps reinforce that the organization is responsive and serious about addressing concerns. It's not enough to share this information only once a year during compliance training, she warns. Employees are constantly bombarded with messages and unless helpline communication is consistent and visible, it risks being forgotten or ignored. Still, even with those reminders, barriers remain, especially fear of retaliation. Organizations must address this head-on. First, there must be a clear, well-communicated prohibition against retaliation. But more importantly, leaders need to understand that retaliation isn't always overt. It can be subtle—being passed over for key assignments, being excluded from team activities, or receiving the cold shoulder from colleagues. Creating a culture where employees feel safe to speak up starts with leadership. Managers and executives must model the right behaviors, reinforce anti-retaliation policies, and foster an environment where concerns are welcomed, not punished. One of the most critical—and often overlooked—elements of a successful helpline program is training leaders on how to respond when a report is made. Too often, well-meaning managers try to “get to the bottom of it” themselves. But when they start asking who reported what or conducting their own informal investigations, they can unintentionally obstruct the formal process and make employees feel unsafe. A favorite tactic of hers for addressing this is to ask persistent leaders: “Do you want to be a witness and be deposed?” It's a powerful reminder that involvement in an investigation has consequences—and that the best way to support the process is to let it unfold professionally and confidentially. Listen in to learn more, and, hopefully, get employees to trust and speak-up more.

Earlier this month, the Trump Administration said it will not tap emergency dollars to keep funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program flowing during the government shutdown. On Tuesday, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced that Oregon had joined a coalition of more than 20 states, including Washington, suing the Trump Administration for suspending the federal food assistance program. Organizations that provide groceries and other services have already faced an increased strain in resources due to inflation and funding cuts. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agency that funds SNAP, announced it will no longer release an annual household food security survey which researchers use to measure hunger in the U.S. Krista Harper is the development director for Clackamas Service Center. Mark Edwards is a professor of sociology and director of the Oregon State University Policy Analysis Lab. They join us for more details about how recent federal actions affect Oregonians who rely on SNAP benefits.
Darryl Wright: Why AI Adoption Will Fail Just Like Agile Did—Unless We Change Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "People are looking to AI to solve their problems, and they're doing it in the same way that they previously looked to Agile to solve their problems for them. The problem with that is, of course, that Agile doesn't solve problems for you. What it does is it shines a light on where your problems are." - Darryl Wright The world has gone AI crazy, and Darryl sees history repeating itself in troubling ways. Organizations are rushing to adopt AI with the same magical thinking they once applied to Agile—believing that simply implementing the tool will solve their fundamental problems. But just as Agile reveals problems rather than solving them, AI will do the same. Worse, AI threatens to accelerate existing problems: if you have too many things moving at once, AI won't fix that, it will amplify the chaos. If you automate a bad process, you've simply locked in badness at higher speed. As Darryl points out, when organizations don't understand that AI requires them to still do the hard work of problem-solving, they're setting themselves up for disillusionment, and in five or twenty years, we'll hear "AI is dead" just like we now hear "Agile is dead." The challenge for Scrum Masters and Agile coaches is profound: how do you help people with something they don't know they need? The answer lies in returning to first principles. Before adopting any tool—whether Agile or AI—organizations must clearly define the problem they're trying to solve. As Einstein reportedly said, "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions." Value stream mapping becomes essential, allowing teams to visualize where humans and AI agents should operate, with clear handovers and explicit policies. The cognitive load on software teams will increase dramatically as AI generates more code, more options, and more complexity. Without clear thinking about problems and deliberate design of systems, AI adoption will follow the same disappointing trajectory as many Agile adoptions—lots of activity, little improvement, and eventually, blame directed at the tool rather than the system. Self-reflection Question: Are you adopting AI to solve a clearly defined problem, or because everyone else is doing it? If you automated your current process with AI, would you be locking in excellence or just accelerating dysfunction? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Organizations that successfully earn and keep the trust of their customers, employees, and partners experience better business outcomes, more engagement, and competitive differentiation.

What if everything you believe about workplace wellness is only part of the story? In this episode, Kevin welcomes Dr. Katina Sawyer and Dr. Patricia Grabarek to discuss the real drivers of well-being at work and the critical role leaders play in shaping thriving environments. Drawing on their research, Katina and Patricia challenge the overreliance on surface-level wellness programs and demonstrate how authentic leadership, trust, and team connection have far greater impact. They introduce the concept of "generators", leaders who energize and empower their teams and contrast them with "extinguishers," who unintentionally drain motivation and wellness. Patricia and Katina also explore ideas like authenticity within professional boundaries, person-centered leadership, and the practical importance of being a "boundary bouncer."

In this episode of The Adoption Roadmap Podcast, Part 2, Dr. Tony Hynes (author of The Son with Two Moms and training specialist at the Center for Adoption Support and Education) goes deeper on what adoptive parents must understand about race, language, and true openness. We unpack the Multiethnic Placement Act (MEPA) and its real-world ripple effects, why “love is enough” and colorblind approaches fail kids, and practical ways white adoptive parents can prepare to raise Black children well. Tony explains why the language we use (interracial vs. transracial) shapes outcomes, how faith communities can unintentionally reinforce colorblindness, and concrete steps to keep teens close—even when they roll their eyes. We close with what a truly healthy open adoption looks like beyond visits: ongoing, courageous conversations, shared history, and permission for your child to love all of their family.Important Links• RG Adoption Consulting → https://rgadoptionconsulting.com• Book a 30-Minute Consult → https://rgadoptionconsulting.com/contact• The Son with Two Moms by Tony Hynes• Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.) → https://adoptionsupport.orgAdoption Mosaic → https://adoptionmosaic.com/BIPOC Adoptees → https://www.bipocadoptees.org/Families Rising → https://wearefamiliesrising.org/On Your Feet Foundation (support for birth parents) → https://onyourfeetfoundation.org/The Adoption Continuum (Founding Member Waitlist) → https://www.rgadoptionconsulting.com/waitlistChapters00:00 – 02:15 Sponsor: Introducing The Adoption Continuum02:15 – 04:40 Recap of Part 1 + Tony's return04:41 – 07:00 The Multi-Ethnic Placement Act (MEPA) explained07:03 – 09:24 Why there's a shortage of Black families adopting Black children09:25 – 11:47 Training gaps and bias in interracial adoption11:48 – 14:10 Helping white parents prepare to raise children of color14:11 – 16:31 Confronting racism inside extended families16:32 – 19:00 “Transracial” vs. “Interracial” — Why language matters19:01 – 21:25 Same-sex parents and child well-being research21:26 – 23:47 Dr. Hynes's PhD study on connectedness and community23:48 – 26:08 Religion and colorblind messages in adoptive homes26:09 – 28:33 Talking about race protects relationships long-term28:34 – 30:55 Keeping teens close through repetition and modeling30:56 – 33:19 Redefining openness beyond visits33:20 – 35:42 How to normalize birth family conversations35:43 – 37:23 Reunion, search, and the right to know one's story37:24 – 39:40 Top lessons for adoptive parents (+ grace and curiosity)39:41 – 42:00 Rapid fire: Organizations and influences in adoption42:00 – 43:25 Final insight — Adoptees can experience trauma after adoption43:26 – End Rebecca's closing reflection & review reminderTune in to The Adoption Roadmap Podcast every Wednesday.

In this episode of The Business of Healthcare Podcast, host Dan Karnuta welcomes Don Taylor, director of the Alliance for Physician Leadership at The University of Texas at Dallas' Naveen Jindal School of Management, for a discussion about Taylor's new book, Healing. They discuss how the U.S. healthcare system fails to support physicians' well-being, both mentally and spiritually. Taylor describes how doctors struggle with the stress, isolation and burnout of leadership expectations although they do not get trained in that aspect of their careers. They also discuss how the U.S. healthcare system prioritizes profit over true health, creating a structure where sickness — not wellness — drives revenue, leaving doctors feeling voiceless and disconnected from their calling. Karnuta is an associate professor in the Naveen Jindal School of Management's Organizations, Strategy and International Management Area as well as director of its Professional Program in Healthcare Management.

Let's be honest—most onboarding experiences are forgettable at best and overwhelming at worst. Yet for many organizations, the way they welcome new employees hasn't kept up. Traditional onboarding often feels like a box to check—an administrative marathon of paperwork, policies, and PowerPoints. But in a world where people are craving connection, clarity, and belonging, that approach simply doesn't work anymore.As discussed in a recent DEI After 5 episode, embracing change—especially when it comes to how we onboard—can be a powerful catalyst for growth, both for individuals and organizations.Why Onboarding Needs to ChangeWe know that employees decide whether they'll stay with an organization within their first few months—and for Generation Z, that decision happens even faster. According to recent data, 20% of Gen Z employees quit because of poor onboarding, and 8% leave within the first 90 days if the experience doesn't meet expectations. That's not just a retention problem—it's a culture problem.Gen Z and younger millennials are entering the workforce with a clear set of values. They want to understand what a company stands for from day one. In fact, 62% of women and 42% of men in Gen Z expect to learn about their organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies during onboarding. This isn't just a “nice-to-have” feature—it's foundational to how they decide whether they belong.When onboarding fails to answer those deeper questions—Do I fit here? Is this a place where I can grow? Will my voice matter?—employees start to disengage before they've even begun.From Administrative to TransformationalEffective onboarding is no longer about checklists—it's about connection. It's an invitation to embrace change, to build trust, and to set the tone for psychological safety from day one.Organizations that get this right are moving from “orientation sessions” to onboarding experiences—interactive, personalized, and grounded in the company's values and culture. Instead of overwhelming new hires with information, they're creating space for exploration and engagement.In the podcast, we explored how today's employees are wired for interactivity. They grew up in digital spaces that reward curiosity and participation. Sitting through hours of dense slides? That's a fast track to disengagement. In fact, 75% of Gen Z admits to skipping or fast-forwarding through boring onboarding content.Modern onboarding should mirror how people learn and connect today:* Short, engaging videos that bring your culture and values to life.* Interactive learning tools that reinforce understanding instead of memorization.* Opportunities for dialogue, where new hires can safely ask questions without fear of judgment.* Stories and experiences that show—not just tell—how your organization lives its values.Psychological Safety Starts on Day OneA powerful theme from the podcast was the link between effective onboarding and psychological safety. When employees feel comfortable asking questions, sharing feedback, or admitting what they don't know, they're more likely to succeed—and stay.But when onboarding is rigid or transactional, it sends an early signal: “We care more about compliance than connection.” And that's where disengagement begins.By reframing onboarding as the first act of culture-building, organizations can demonstrate trust and transparency immediately. That first impression becomes the foundation for engagement, innovation, and long-term commitment.Embracing Change for GrowthEmbracing change—whether in how we work, lead, or onboard—requires adaptability and courage. It's about stepping outside of what's comfortable to build something that actually resonates.The most successful organizations are those that view onboarding not as a one-time event, but as an evolving process of integration and growth. They understand that people don't just need information—they need belonging.When leaders create space for new hires to feel seen, supported, and empowered, they set the stage for resilience, innovation, and shared success. Change, after all, is only disruptive when we resist it. When we lean into it, it becomes the very thing that helps us grow.If you want to learn more about how to create a culture of care, foster psychological safety, and design workplaces where people thrive from day one, subscribe to our YouTube channelSacha Thompson, founder of The Equity Equation, boasts 20+ years of experience spanning education, non-profit, and tech sectors.

Author Jean Twenge, Ph.D., explains the implications of four different generations working together. As Gen Zers increasingly join millennials, Gen Xers and a shrinking cohort of baby boomers in the workforce, their varying needs, attitudes and aptitudes are driving workplace changes.· Generational shifts are reshaping the workplace: Organizations are navigating the most pronounced generational transition in decades, with differing expectations around leadership styles, collaboration and work-life harmony.· Delayed life milestones impact real estate demand: Trends like marrying later in life, postponing homeownership and having fewer children are catalyzing demand for adaptable, amenity-rich properties.· Technology is a key driver of generational change: From smartphones to social media, tech has fundamentally altered how each generation communicates, works and interacts—creating both opportunities and challenges for office culture and productivity.· Hybrid work reflects generational preferences: The way different generations value in-person collaboration, flexibility and autonomy gives hybrid work models staying power.· Empathy is essential for cross-generational leadership: Understanding the distinct values and experiences of each generation, and applying that knowledge in how you communicate and set policy, can build stronger connections with colleagues.

We're excited to bring you highlights from this week's “Monday News Drop” episode of The ASHHRA Podcast! Co-hosts Luke Carignan and Bo Brabo were back in the studio to tackle two of the hottest topics shaping healthcare HR today: a shakeup in leadership expectations and the non-stop momentum of AI.Episode Highlights1. No One Wants to Lead! Luke and Bo dove into an eye-opening article on “Conscious Unbossing” – a rising Gen Z trend where employees are opting out of formal leadership roles in favor of deepening subject matter expertise. The big takeaway? People want career growth options that DON'T require managing others!Key discussion points:Rethinking career pathing beyond the “leadership ladder”Lending respect and recognition to subject matter experts (SMEs), even when they choose not to manage peopleBuilding parallel career tracks, lateral moves, and project-based recognition for non-managerial talentHumility in the workplace: Valuing leaders AND non-leader contributors2. AI Isn't the Future—It's the Present Every HR article (and podcast!) these days is talking about AI. Bo and Luke stressed the urgency around not just learning about AI, but also actively implementing and adapting to it—especially agentic AI in HR functions like talent acquisition.Organizations that delay AI adoption risk falling dangerously behind the competition—think “flip phone vs. iPhone.”AI is shifting HR from transactional work to strategic ‘people architect' roles—are you ready to evolve?HR positions won't disappear, but tasks ARE changing: repurposing roles, reskilling teams, and continuously learning is the name of the game.Don't be afraid to learn! Even if you're near retirement, find your AI enthusiast successor and help them lead the charge.3. Trending Topic: Staff Well-Being & the Power of the SME Bo and Luke touched on staff well-being—mental health, burnout prevention, and flexible scheduling—as top priorities for healthcare HR, emphasizing that SMEs in these areas can lead important change without managing teams.Fun FavoritesRedefining generational names (RIP, “Generation PT Cruiser”!).The coming age of affordable AI-powered robots—the Jetsons' future is closer than you think.What's Next?

Today I talk with Professor Nisrin Elamin about the situation in Sudan, where we find both a war between rival factions and these same factions continuing counter-revolutionary campaign against pro-democracy forces. We discuss how regional actors such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have contributed to the repression of democracy, and not only the ineffectiveness of NGOs and the United Nations in quelling the violence, but their roles in exacerbating it. In the midst of forced famine and war, we find the remarkable and heroic efforts of mutual aid groups and resistance organizations in civil society that have made life possible. Elamin explains how this ethos of obligation reaches far back in Sudanese history and culture. We end by talking about the Sudanese Solidarity Collective, a group that Nisrin helped found, which provides a vital conduit of aid to Sudan from its diasporic communities and others.Nisrin Elamin is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at the University of Toronto. She is currently writing a book tentatively titled: Stratified Enclosures: Land, Capital and Empire-making in Central Sudan which focuses on Saudi and Emirati investments in land and community resistance to land dispossession in the agricultural Gezira region. In addition to scholarly articles, Nisrin has published and co-written several op-eds for Al Jazeera, The Washington Post, Okay Africa, Hammer and Hope and The Egypt Independent. Before pursuing her Ph.D., Nisrin spent over a decade working as an educator, organizer and researcher in the US and Tanzania. She is also a co-founding member of the Sudan Solidarity Collective which formed in the aftermath of the current war to support local emergency response rooms (ERRs) and other mutual aid networks and unions leading relief efforts in the face of a largely absent international aid community and civilian state.

Among the thousands of staff cuts and billions of dollars eliminated from federal programs is support to prevent and respond to domestic violence. Organizations that facilitate women's shelters, preventative outreach, case managers, and legal help are mostly going it alone without the once-powerful assistance of the federal government. Many are in survival mode after the sudden and unexpected elimination of funding that had been promised. The U.S. Department of Justice has also removed its access to research and recommendations about violence against Indigenous women. We'll find out how some shelters are working despite the setbacks. We'll also remember long-time women's advocate Charon Asetoyer. Among other things, she founded the Native American Community Board that works to strengthen women's health, safety, and justice. Asetoyer walked on September 26. GUESTS Desiree Tody (Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa), Ashland and Bayfield County outreach program coordinator for the Center Against Sexual & Domestic Abuse Caroline LaPorte (Little River Band of Ottawa Indians descendant), staff attorney with the Indian Law Resource Center and association judge for the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Michelle Sanchez-Higginbotham (Yaqui and Niitsitapi), project specialist for the Rising Together program at the California Consortium for Urban Indian Health Ronni Fischer (Yankton Sioux), director of the Women's Lodge, a violence prevention program of the Native American Community Board

Organizations strive to stay true to their mission.The Watauga Land Trust was formed in 1995, established by Appalachian State University students concerned with protecting Howard Knob, a mountain adjacent to the Town of Boone. The new organization raised local awareness about the unprecedented pace of development not just around Boone, but across North Carolina's northwestern mountains. These concerns galvanized the local community and in 1997 the Watauga Land Trust changed its name to High Country Conservancy and expanded its jurisdiction to include Ashe, Avery and Watauga counties. The organization's mission was “to protect the natural resources of Appalachia by conserving land with significant ecological, cultural, recreational, or scenic value in the North Carolina High Country.”In May of 2010, Blue Ridge Rural Land Trust based in West Jefferson, North Carolina and High Country Conservancy, based in Boone merged to create Blue Ridge Conservancy, a private, non-profit organization that has protected over 22,000 acres in Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey Counties.In early October 2025, Blue Ridge Conservancy announced after 30 years of effort, it has secured the opportunity to purchase 73 acres on the north and east side of Howard Knob. This property adjoins the existing 5-acre park owned by Watauga County, and will protect the land forever and provide public access for nature-based recreation, including hiking and rock climbing. On this week's Mind Your Business, we speak with Eric Hiegl, BRC's Senior Director of Land Protection and Conservation Planning. We'll hear about how the organization's persistence saw them achieve their founding objective. We'll also discuss BRC's plans to enhance public access to this property in a manner that enhances outdoor recreation opportunities in storied area of Watauga County.Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to Blue Ridge Conservancy for providing historical context to this story.

Reproductive Rape- A New Kind Of Rape; Black Guys Are DECEPTIVELY Impregnating Naïve Girls, Racism Study is TOTALLY FAKE, Mosques Should Be BANNED In Europe. Mr. Reagan Mr Reagan A New Kind Of Rape; Black Guys Are DECEPTIVELY Impregnating Naive Girls Racism Study is TOTALLY FAKE Mosques Should Be BANNED In Europe A New Kind Of Rape; Black Guys Are DECEPTIVELY Impregnating Naive Girls Are women being intentionally deceived into motherhood? This disturbing exposé reveals the growing crisis of reproductive coercion and why no one is willing to talk about it. In this emotionally charged and deeply unsettling video, Mr. Reagan dives into the disturbing pattern of reproductive coercion, where some men intentionally deceive women into becoming mothers. Backed by personal stories and a chilling research study out of Baltimore, this episode uncovers a trend that's been hidden in plain sight. The central theme? It's nearly impossible to “accidentally” get someone pregnant in the 21st century. If it's happening repeatedly, especially with the same tactics, it's no longer an accident. It's a strategy. In some communities, this strategy is being normalized, even encouraged. Using emotionally manipulative language, deceptive behaviors, and disturbing tactics like removing condoms in secret, these men are not just abandoning women; they are weaponizing fertility. This episode explores what it means when parenthood becomes a tool of control, betrayal, and systemic exploitation.

Here's the shocking truth. A 2020 study claimed that white doctors caused higher mortality rates among Black newborns. The media ran wild with it. Nearly 800 academic papers cited it. Hospitals changed their hiring policies. But in 2024, researchers gained access to the raw data, and it tells a very different story. It turns out the study failed to account for a critical variable: birth weight. High-risk, underweight infants were disproportionately treated by white doctors in advanced ICUs, skewing the data. When corrected, the alleged racial disparity vanished. But the researchers knew this... and omitted the data anyway. This wasn't an oversight. It was deception: deliberate, coordinated, and ideological. Organizations like Do No Harm uncovered proof via FOIA requests. Even the study's authors had internal data showing white infants fared worse under Black doctors, but they cut it from the final report. Why? Because it shattered their anti-white narrative.

What does this mean for Christian Europe? This video makes the case. Europe, once the stronghold of Christianity and Western tradition, is undergoing a cultural transformation. As mosques rise and public Islamic prayer becomes normalized across the UK and France, many are raising the alarm. In this video, Mr. Reagan discusses why the presence of mosques in Europe may represent more than religious freedom, it could signal a silent conquest. From Leicester to London, towns are awakening not to church bells, but to the Muslim adhan. Some see this as peaceful coexistence. Others view it as an aggressive takeover. The controversy deepens when sacred Christian landmarks become platforms for Islamic prayer. With over 2,600 mosques now in France, up from just 8 in 1975, the question becomes: Is this replacement or multiculturalism gone too far? This video uses data, history, and cultural analysis to argue why the proliferation of mosques might threaten Europe's identity. Mr. Reagan connects the rise in mosque influence with broader topics: immigration, cultural dilution, and the so-called Great Replacement. Is it time for Europe to say "enough"? Or are such concerns overblown? Watch and decide.

As we celebrate the birth of Christ this Christmas, join us in giving new life to brothers and sisters in Sudan who have enslaved as a result of their faith. https://csi-usa.org/metaxas https://csi-usa.org/slavery/ Typical Aid for the Enslaved A ration of sorghum, a local nutrient-rich staple food A dairy goat A “Sack of Hope,” a survival kit containing essential items such as tarp for shelter, a cooking pan, a water canister, a mosquito net, a blanket, a handheld sickle, and fishing hooks. Release celebrations include prayer and gathering for a meal, and medical care for those in need. The CSI team provides comfort, encouragement, and a shoulder to lean on while they tell their stories and begin their new lives. Thank you for your compassion Giving the Gift of Freedom and Hope to the Enslaved South Sudanese -------------------------------------------------------- Food For the Poor https://foodforthepoor.org/ Help us serve the poorest of the poor Food For The Poor began in 1982 in Jamaica. Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.
