Podcasts about PCC

Convidado: Octavio Guedes, comentarista da GloboNews e colunista do g1. Dentro do governo americano, está em curso uma discussão para classificar as facções criminosas Comando Vermelho (CV) e Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) como organizações terroristas. A diplomacia brasileira trabalha para frear a decisão, diante dos riscos que esse tipo de classificação pode ter para a soberania e para a economia do país. Nos últimos meses, dois países latino-americanos foram submetidos a ações americanas contra grupos considerados narcotraficantes pela Casa Branca. No fim de 2025, navios, caças e drones enviados por Washington bombardearam embarcações no mar do Caribe e mataram pelo menos 100 pessoas, entre venezuelanos e colombianos – sem qualquer prova de que os alvos tivessem relação com o crime. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com Octavio Guedes, comentarista da GloboNews e colunista do g1, para explicar as relações do CV e do PCC com o crime internacional. Guedes também relata como o crime organizado cresceu nas últimas décadas no Brasil – e o terror que gera em todo o continente. Por fim, ele avalia quais são os reais interesses americanos na pauta da segurança pública.

Episode Summary In this reflective and candid conversation, Brian Miller sits down with Angie Ward, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at Denver Seminary, to explore what it means to lead from gravitas rather than persona. Angie shares why she shifted her writing voice toward deeper transparency in her Substack, The Contemplative Leader, and how embracing her full story—including mistakes, introversion, perfectionism, and even complex PTSD—has strengthened rather than weakened her leadership. This episode explores substantial leadership, contemplative presence, authenticity in a performative culture, and why becoming a better person may be the most important credential a coach can earn. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. From Content to Contemplation Angie reflects on her evolution as a writer and leader. Early on, she felt pressure to produce "content-heavy," didactic leadership writing. Over time, she realized people are far less interested in polished expertise and far more drawn to authentic reflection. Her shift: Writing pastorally instead of performatively Sharing lessons learned from real mistakes Letting her voice emerge from who she is, not just what she knows Leadership influence flows from identity, not information. 2. The "Gravitas Era" Angie describes entering what she calls her gravitas era—a season of leadership marked by weight, depth, and grounded presence. Gravitas, in her words, isn't about dominance. It's about: Emotional and spiritual substance Measured speech Deep listening Carrying responsibility without needing applause As leaders mature, their authority shifts from "listen to me" to "there's something steady here." 3. Substantial vs. Performative Leadership Brian references The Great Divorce, noting Lewis' imagery of heaven as a place of increasing substance. The connection? True leadership is about becoming substantial—grounded, present, integrated. Substance does not happen automatically with age. It comes through: Reflection Excavation Honest self-examination Courage to confront woundedness Experience ≠ maturity. Integration = maturity. 4. Redefining Perfection As a self-described recovering perfectionist, Angie reframes perfection not as flawlessness, but as being perfectly present. This includes: Showing up fully Owning mistakes (like spilling communion in front of a church) Admitting introversion and the need to recharge Naming mental health realities The paradox: The more substantial you become, the freer you are with your flaws. 5. Persona vs. Presence Angie pushes back against the "leader mystique" culture—the polished bio, the highlight reel, the curated persona. She reminds listeners: Your bio hides the rhinestone-gluing nights in Indiana. Authority grows from stewarded wounds. People are starving for leaders who feel real. Authenticity cannot be manufactured through tactics. It emerges from integration. 6. Coaching and Becoming a Better Person Brian observes something many coaches discover: To earn a credential like PCC, you don't just learn techniques—you become more aware, more grounded, more emotionally integrated. You cannot ask powerful questions from the outside. You must do the work internally. Substantial leaders ask substantial questions. Memorable Quotes "We lead out of who we are, not just what we do." "I feel like I'm entering my gravitas era." "Experience does not equal maturity." "The more substantial you are, the more free you are with your flaws." "I've had to redefine perfect as perfectly present." Resources Mentioned Angie's Substack: The Contemplative Leader Angie's website: angiewardphd.com The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis Who This Episode Is For Coaches seeking deeper integration, not just sharper tools Leaders tired of persona-driven leadership culture Christian leaders wrestling with authenticity and authority Anyone who senses they're entering a new season of gravitas Reflection Questions Where might you be leading from persona rather than presence? What wounds or experiences have shaped your gravitas? How would your leadership change if perfection meant "fully present"? What would it look like to steward your voice instead of perform it?

Why does friendship feel like an intuitive gift for some, but a complex, manual process for others? This week, Emily Kircher-Morris sits down with social-emotional learning expert Caroline Maguire, author of the award-winning Why Will No One Play With Me? and the upcoming Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults. The conversation dismantles the harmful narrative that connection should happen organically, reframing social struggles not as character flaws, but as understandable skill gaps influenced by executive dysfunction and past trauma. They talk about the concept of "Middle School Caroline," the inner child who reacts to perceived slights with high-alert protection, and suggest advice on unmasking, managing rejection sensitivity, and finding "your people" who value compassion over perfect social performance. TAKEAWAYS The "friendship should be easy" narrative fuels unnecessary shame. Connection is a complex skill set, not an innate character trait. Executive dysfunction directly impacts the logistical and emotional labor of maintaining adult relationships. Rejection Sensitivity (RSD) often functions as a protective mechanism whose past social trauma colors present-day perceptions. Unmasking in friendships is a gradual spectrum that requires identifying safe people rather than an all-or-nothing disclosure. Neurodivergent social strengths like info-dumping and deep empathy are valid forms of connection that deserve recognition and framing, rather than suppression. Neurodivergent adults often base social perceptions on the most recent interaction, making objectivity and evidence-based thinking vital for relationship stability.

No 3 em 1 desta terça-feira (11), o destaque foi que, segundo informação exclusiva da Jovem Pan, os Estados Unidos e o promotor de Justiça brasileiro Lincoln Gakiya discutiram estratégias contra o PCC. Além disso, auxiliares do secretário de Estado Marco Rubio vieram ao Brasil. A repercussão ocorre porque os EUA planejam classificar o PCC e o Comando Vermelho como organizações terroristas. O presidente Lula (PT) teve conversas com os líderes da Colômbia e do México, Gustavo Petro e Claudia Sheinbaum, sobre o assunto. Reportagem: Eliseu Caetano e André Anelli. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Dias Toffoli foi sorteado como relator da ação sobre a CPI do Banco Master na Câmara dos Deputados. O magistrado assume o processo após a saída do relator anterior, mas ainda pode se declarar impedido ou suspeito de conduzir a análise, após polêmicas supostamente envolvendo seu nome no caso. Reportagem: Janaína Camelo. A Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) do Crime Organizado aprovou a quebra dos sigilos de Fabiano Zettel e de Luiz Philippi Machado de Moraes Mourão, conhecido como Sicário. Os investigados são apontados como peças centrais em um esquema que envolve a cúpula do Banco Master. Reportagem: Beatriz Souza. Novas explosões foram registradas em Beirute, capital do Líbano, nesta quarta-feira (11). Os mísseis atingiram a cidade logo após Israel anunciar novos bombardeios estratégicos. Reportagem: Luca Bassani. O presidente Lula (PT) reuniu-se com o ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad (PT), e o secretário-executivo da pasta, Dario Durigan, cotado para assumir o ministério. O encontro acontece em meio à transição da pasta. Apesar de ainda não oficializado, Haddad deve disputar o governo de São Paulo. Reportagem: André Anelli. O presidente Lula ainda deve se reunir com o líder do Senado, Davi Alcolumbre (União), na próxima semana para discutir a indicação do ministro Jorge Messias ao Supremo Tribunal Federal. Apesar do anúncio feito no ano passado, o Palácio do Planalto ainda não enviou a oficialização ao Congresso Nacional. O mandatário busca garantir a articulação política necessária antes da sabatina no Senado. Reportagem: Janaína Camelo. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Dias Toffoli declarou-se suspeito para relatar a ação que pede a instalação da CPI do Banco Master na Câmara dos Deputados. O magistrado alegou motivo de foro íntimo para deixar o caso apenas horas após ter sido sorteado como relator. O processo será agora redistribuído a um novo integrante da Corte. Uma nova pesquisa da Genial/Quaest divulgada nesta quarta-feira (11) aponta um empate técnico entre o presidente Lula (PT) e o pré-candidato e senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) em uma simulação de segundo turno para 2026. Ambos os candidatos aparecem com 41% das intenções de voto, refletindo a forte polarização no país. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1. Learn more about your ad choices.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta segunda-feira (09):O governo Lula teme possíveis consequências caso os Estados Unidos classifiquem o PCC e o Comando Vermelho como organizações terroristas. O chanceler Mauro Vieira chegou a conversar com autoridades americanas sobre o tema. No Planalto, há preocupação com riscos de interferência externa e impactos diplomáticos e econômicos.A Polícia Federal e a Procuradoria-Geral da República decidiram suspender, por enquanto, a apuração sobre possíveis ligações entre o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro e autoridades. A prioridade será investigar crimes financeiros ligados ao caso. Segundo os órgãos, o objetivo é acelerar a resposta judicial e tentar recuperar prejuízos causados pelas supostas irregularidades. A Igreja Presbiteriana de Pinheiros, em São Paulo, pediu orações pela vida do ministro do STF André Mendonça. A manifestação ocorre enquanto o magistrado atua como relator de investigações ligadas ao caso Master. Nos bastidores, também há discussões sobre a ampliação da segurança do ministro e de sua família. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) declarou apoio à criação de uma CPI para investigar ministros do Judiciário citados no caso Banco Master. O requerimento, apresentado por Alessandro Vieira, já reuniu assinaturas suficientes para ser protocolado no Senado. A instalação da comissão agora depende do presidente da Casa, Davi Alcolumbre. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, falou sobre os desdobramentos da guerra no Oriente Médio e o futuro político do Irã. Durante entrevista, ele afirmou que o próximo líder iraniano terá que negociar com os Estados Unidos e com o Ocidente. Trump também comentou as operações militares e o programa nuclear do país. Um levantamento aponta que o governo Lula já criou ou aumentou cerca de 30 impostos desde o início do mandato em 2023. O tema foi citado pelo senador Flávio Bolsonaro e pode ganhar destaque no debate político e econômico. A tributação deve ser um dos principais assuntos nas próximas eleições.Pesquisa Real Time Big Data aponta o senador Flávio Bolsonaro na liderança das intenções de voto para presidente em São Paulo, com 39%. O presidente Lula aparece em segundo lugar, com 35%. O levantamento também mostra os índices de rejeição dos candidatos e a avaliação do governo federal entre os eleitores. A CPMI do INSS recebeu menos de 1% dos documentos ligados à quebra de sigilo de Daniel Vorcaro no caso Master. A informação foi revelada pelo presidente do colegiado, senador Carlos Viana. Segundo ele, a Polícia Federal estaria filtrando os arquivos, mesmo após decisão do ministro André Mendonça garantir acesso completo aos registros.

Part 2 of 2 | Continued from: Continuous Improvement Leadership: Women's Career Guide 2026Executive SummaryWomen leaders continuous improvement culture succeeds or fails based on one variable: the leader's personal commitment. Olaf Boettger's 27-year framework reveals the CEO's 90-day launch plan, two fatal CI mistakes, women's natural CI advantage, and the 10-minute personal Kaizen practice that compounds career results starting today.Quick Takeaways70% of CI initiatives fail — almost always due to leader behavior, not methodology (Olaf Boettger, 27 years P&G/Danaher)Women leaders continuous improvement culture succeeds because women's natural humility and collaborative style align with CI requirementsThe CEO's first 90 days: Gemba ? Top-10 Problem List ? 5 Whys ? Impact-Effort Matrix ? Daily HuddlesPersonal Kaizen takes less than 10 minutes per day and starts compounding career results immediatelyLaid-off women can apply CI directly to job search — turning a demoralizing process into a systematic, controllable oneIn Part 1 of this conversation, Olaf Boettger revealed the foundations of women leaders continuous improvement culture — Kaizen philosophy, Gemba principles, and the three capabilities that make it work: courage, humility, and discipline. But knowing the philosophy is not the same as executing it.Most organizations have heard of Kaizen. Most have tried it. Most have failed.According to Olaf, who spent 27 years at Procter & Gamble and Danaher mastering this system, the failure is rarely about the methodology. It is almost always about the leader.In Part 2 of our Women's Leadership Success Podcast interview, Olaf reveals exactly what a successful women leaders continuous improvement culture launch looks like — the CEO's first 90 days, the two fatal mistakes that kill every initiative, why women bring a genuinely underappreciated competitive advantage to this work, and the personal Kaizen practice that takes less than 10 minutes a day and starts compounding results immediately.As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of a podcast ranked in the top 1.5% globally with over 750,000 downloads, I have seen this framework transform the careers of women who stopped waiting to be recognized and started building systems that made them impossible to overlook. Building a women leaders continuous improvement culture is not only a leadership strategy — it is a career survival strategy in 2026.Ready to make yourself the standout candidate in 2026's competitive market?Download our FREE Leadership Branding Blueprint Accelerator and discover:The exact 5-step system to position yourself as indispensable (not just competent)How to document CI results in a format that gets you promoted 3x fasterThe personal achievement tracker that turns invisible work into visible impactScripts for self-advocacy conversations that feel natural, not pushyDOWNLOAD FREE — womensleadershipsuccess.com/blueprintThe CEO's First 90 Days: Your Continuous Improvement Culture Launch PlanIf you are stepping into a new leadership role — or finally ready to build a women leaders continuous improvement culture in your existing organization — the first 90 days set everything. Olaf's approach is structured around a deceptively simple insight: the problems you can solve are already visible if you are willing to go look at them.Step 1: Go to Gemba — The Real Place (Days 1–30)Gemba is the Japanese term for the real place — where the work actually happens. For a CEO or senior leader, Gemba might mean riding along with a salesperson, observing operations on a floor, sitting with engineers reviewing prototypes, or speaking directly with customers about how they use your product.This is not a listening tour. It is a fact-gathering mission. The gap between what leadership believes is happening and what is actually happening is, in most organizations, enormous. The only way to close that gap is to go see for yourself.For women building a women leaders continuous improvement culture, this Gemba-first approach is especially powerful: it signals humility and curiosity before authority — the exact combination that earns trust fast in new organizations.Step 2: Build Your Top-10 Problem List (Days 15–30)After Gemba, the next move is prioritization. A former Danaher colleague of Olaf's — who became CEO of a large Anglo-American corporation — used exactly this method: he created a numbered top-10 problem list and began working through it methodically with his teams.The discipline here is critical. You are not solving all problems. You are sequencing them. Problem 1 gets your full attention and resources until it is resolved. Then Problem 2. Then Problem 3. This focus prevents the scattered, multi-initiative paralysis that kills most CI attempts before they produce results.Step 3: Apply the 5 Whys to Find Root Causes (Days 20–60)Once you have your prioritized list, the next step is diagnosis. Olaf uses the 5 Whys — a Toyota-originated technique where you ask 'why does this problem exist?' and then ask 'why?' to each answer, five levels deep. By the fifth 'why,' you are nearly always at the systemic root cause rather than a surface symptom.The difference is critical. Treating symptoms produces temporary fixes. Addressing root causes produces permanent improvement. This is why organizations that chase the first obvious solution — like a $50 million ERP system — often spend enormous resources only to discover the original problem persists.Step 4: Use the Impact-Effort Matrix to Sequence Solutions (Days 30–60)Not all solutions are equal. Olaf teaches leaders to categorize every potential solution across two dimensions: impact (does it actually solve the problem?) and effort (how much time, money, and energy does it require?).Solution CategoryPriority Action? High Impact + Low EffortDo these FIRST — quick wins that build momentum and credibility? High Impact + High EffortPlan carefully — these are your strategic projects? Low Impact + Low EffortDo only if capacity allows — don't let these consume bandwidth? Low Impact + High EffortEliminate — these drain your CI culture before it startsStep 5: Run Daily Red/Green Huddles as Your Standard Management Meeting (Days 1–90)As described in Part 1, the 15-minute daily red/green huddle is not a CI activity added on top of normal business. It IS the management meeting. Red means a problem is identified and being addressed. Green means performance is on track. Run without exception every day, it signals that the improvement culture is real — not a program that fades at the next crisis.What Your Organization Sees by Day 90When you execute this plan, three things happen simultaneously: your team sees you are committed enough to observe their actual work; they see the organization's most painful problems being addressed systematically; and they begin to internalize what a good solution looks like. This is how women leaders continuous improvement culture takes root — through behavior modeling, not value announcements.The 2 Fatal Mistakes That Kill Continuous Improvement InitiativesOlaf estimates there is a graveyard of failed CI initiatives in nearly every large organization. The causes are almost never about the methodology. Here are the two patterns he sees repeatedly — and what women leaders can do differently.Fatal Mistake #1: The Leader Who Wants Results Without ChangingIn German, there is a phrase for this: 'Wash my fur, but don't make me wet.' The leader wants the outcomes of CI — better numbers, more efficient teams, fewer crises — but is unwilling to personally change how they operate. They hire consultants, launch programs, run trainings. And then they return to their previous behavior.This is fatal because culture follows behavior, not announcements. If the CEO does not go to Gemba, the SVP will not go to Gemba. If the SVP does not go, the VP will not go. By the time the directive reaches managers who are supposed to implement CI, it has been diluted into a program that nobody owns.For women leaders specifically: the antidote is your natural advantage — the willingness to be publicly humble, to admit what you do not know, and to go see before you decide. A women leaders continuous improvement culture that the top leader personally models is one that spreads without a mandate.Fatal Mistake #2: Treating CI as a Separate ActivityThe second pattern is more subtle but equally deadly: organizations that run CI as a parallel track alongside their 'normal' business. Friday afternoon training. Quarterly workshops. A dedicated CI team that other leaders do not engage with.This is the wrong model entirely. At Toyota, Danaher, GE, and every organization where CI works long-term, continuous improvement is not something you do in addition to running the business. It IS how you run the business. The 15-minute daily red/green huddle is not a CI activity — it is the operational meeting. The improvement system and the management system are the same system.The practical implication: if your organization has a CI initiative that exists separately from how work is actually managed, advocate for integrating the two. That single structural change will determine whether your women leaders continuous improvement culture produces lasting results or joins the graveyard.Why Women Leaders Build Continuous Improvement Culture BetterOne of the most powerful moments in our conversation came when I asked Olaf directly: do women bring unique strengths to continuous improvement culture?His answer was unequivocal — and grounded in 27 years of observing what actually works in organizations around the world."There is a lot less ego involved in a lot of women I've worked with. And if we look at the three capabilities for successful continuous improvement — courage, humility, and discipline — I've seen women bring more to the table, especially on the humility side. Being more open to say: let's bring others in,

No 3 em 1 desta segunda-feira (09), o destaque foi o presidente dos Estados Unidos Donald Trump que expressou insatisfação com a escolha do novo líder supremo do Irã, Mojtaba Khamenei. O filho de Ali Khamenei assumiu o posto e já descartou a possibilidade de um cessar-fogo nos conflitos regionais. Reportagem: Luca Bassani. O senador e pré-candidato Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) lidera as intenções de voto para a sucessão presidencial com 39%, segundo pesquisa nacional da Real Time Big Data. O levantamento aponta que o presidente Lula (PT) aparece na segunda colocação com 35% da preferência do eleitorado. O mandatário do país figura em segundo lugar em todos os cenários testados pelo instituto para o primeiro turno. O senador Alessandro Vieira (MDB) articula a instalação de uma Comissão Parlamentar Mista de Inquérito para investigar autoridades envolvidas no Caso Banco Master. O parlamentar conseguiu assinaturas suficientes e pretende apurar o suposto envolvimento de ministros como Alexandre de Moraes e Dias Toffoli, e integrantes do alto escalão na rede de Daniel Vorcaro, o dono da instituição. Reportagem: Beatriz Souza. A advogada Viviane Barci de Moraes detalhou o contrato e a natureza dos serviços jurídicos prestados pelo seu escritório ao Banco Master. A esposa do ministro Alexandre de Moraes afirmou que nunca conduziu causa no âmbito do STF e apresentou esclarecimentos sobre a consultoria para a instituição de Daniel Vorcaro. Reportagem: André Anelli. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos), afirmou que os desdobramentos do Caso Banco Master devem ser um tema central nas eleições de 2026. O líder parlamentar defendeu que as investigações sobre a rede de Daniel Vorcaro ocorram sem interferências. Reportagem: Misael Mainetti. Os Estados Unidos montaram uma aliança estratégica com 13 países para destruir cartéis do narcotráfico. Além disso, o ministro das Relações Exteriores, Mauro Vieira, e o secretário de Estado norte-americano, Marco Rubio, discutiram a classificação de facções criminosas. O presidente norte-americano, Donald Trump, sinalizou que planeja igualar o Comando Vermelho e o PCC ao terrorismo. Reportagem: André Anelli. O senador Carlos Viana (Podemos), presidente da CPMI do INSS, insiste na realização da oitiva do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro para esclarecer fraudes contra aposentados. A defesa do dono do Banco Master pede uma conversa reservada com o cliente e solicita que o primeiro diálogo não seja gravado. O mandatário do colegiado deve se reunir com o ministro André Mendonça para discutir sobre o caso. Além disso, Gilmar Mendes criticou o vazamento de conversas pessoais de Vorcaro. Reportagem: Beatriz Souza. O ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad (PT), deve deixar o cargo no próximo dia 19 de março para disputar o governo de São Paulo. Conversas de bastidores indicam que o petista aceitou o desafio de ser o principal palanque do presidente Lula (PT) no maior colégio eleitoral do país. O mandatário da pasta econômica ainda não oficializou a decisão, mas a saída é dada como certa nos bastidores. Reportagem: André Anelli. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1.

Rejection Is Sneaky (And It's Quietly Running Your Leadership) Rejection doesn't always look like hurt feelings. In leadership, it often shows up as a nervous system spike that makes you do something—fast: shrink, over-explain, over-function, avoid, or go sharp. In this episode, I break down the five rejection-response patterns I see most in high-capacity leaders—and the hidden cost when they run the room. If you've ever walked out of a meeting thinking, Why didn't I say what I meant? or Why do I keep playing small when I know better? — You'll feel seen here. In this episode, you'll learn The 5 rejection responses (and how they disguise themselves as “leadership style”) The real cost: lost authority, blurred boundaries, and a team that mirrors your signal How to spot your personal rejection loop early—before it hijacks your decisions and communication About Kc Kc Rossi, PCC, is an Integrative Leadership Coach supporting high-performing, mission-driven leaders to regulate stress, strengthen self-trust, and lead with embodied calm—without living in overdrive.

In this conversation on The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, sits down with Juliann Wiese, B.Ed., CPCC, MCC, CMC and Karyn Edwards, PhD, MCC... both longtime Lumia instructors and corporate leadership veterans who've collectively spent decades inside organizations before hanging up their shingles and building thriving independent practices. They get into the real talk of what it means to move from doing coaching to being a coach, letting go of ego, performance, and the constant toggling of skills, and what it looks like when the work finally becomes embodied. Juliann and Karyn also unpack what just changed in the ICF core competencies (updated November 2025) and why the renewed emphasis on mentorship and self-awareness as a coach is the future of the profession. These two are launching a mentor coaching cohort together, designed for coaches working in or aspiring to corporate environments, led by two of the roughly 4-5% of ICF-credentialed coaches worldwide who hold the MCC designation. They break down what questions you should actually be asking before choosing a mentor coach, why development beats checkbox-chasing every time, and what makes this program different. Only 10 spots. Cohort starts April 2nd, 2026.

When I shared that line with my wife, she didn't hesitate: “That's me.” In this episode of 97% Effective, I speak with Deborah Grayson Riegel — executive coach, leadership communications expert, and co‑creator of TheMeMenu, a new personal growth platform designed for women over 50 who are ready to reclaim agency, imagination, and momentum in their lives. Deb shares how she teamed up with celebrity chef Carla Hall to build something that blends coaching, creativity, and AI — all through the metaphor of cooking and their Six Flavor framework. We discuss what's different for women 50+, how AI can democratize coaching (and where humans still matter most), and what partners can actually do — practically — to support the women they love. I also share what surprised me most in this conversation — including what I learned after asking my own wife what actually helps (hint: “How can I help?” isn't always it). By the end of this episode, you'll see cooking as a powerful lens for work and life. While The ME Menu is designed for women over 50, the key message — navigating obligation and agency — applies to anyone ready to write their next chapter.SHOW NOTESTheMeMenu storyWhy so many women spend decades as the “side dish,” what it means to reclaim main-dish energy – and why that mattersHow Deb connected with Carla Hall, celebrity chef, and why the collaboration clicked so wellWhat TheMeMenu actually is: A way of thinking and being + 6-week self-paced coaching program + An AI-powered “Sous Chef” for spot-coachingWhat makes TheMeMenu unique: Built by women over 50 for women over 50, Carla Hall's “secret sauce”, and a mission to democratize access to coachingWhy Deb sees AI as a complement to human coaching, not a replacementInside the CollaborationDeb, Carla, and Kirsten: three women, three strengthsTheir creative process: cooking vs bakingWhy “nothing works if the raw ingredients aren't good”The importance of creating their “mise en place”Over 100 iterations – and why “there's no such thing as done”Building a product while the technology was still emerging Practical TakeawaysWhat partners, spouses, kids, and friends can most do to support the women in their livesTwo powerful questions to ask – and 1 micro-behavior that mattersWhy “How can I help?' can be taxing – and why it's often better to just make offersThinking in terms of a lifelong conversation, not a one-time check-inLightning Round laser insights: Deb on the hard truth about personal change, the key to collaboration, the power of her summer in Spain, and the focus of her new book, Aim High and Bounce Back: A Successful Woman's Guide to Rethinking and Rising Up from Failure BIO AND LINKSDeborah Grayson Riegel, MSW, PCC is a keynote speaker, leadership communications expert, executive coach, and author.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIn 2026's 'forever layoff' era, women leaders who master continuous improvement leadership outperform peers, reduce their layoff risk, and accelerate promotions. Olaf Boettger's 27-year Kaizen framework — courage, humility, discipline — turns daily small improvements into extraordinary career results.Key stat: Toyota workers are 2x more productive than competitors using this same system.? QUICK TAKEAWAYS•       Continuous improvement leadership doubles your career productivity vs. peers who stop learning•       The 3 capabilities every woman leader needs: courage to name problems, humility to keep learning, discipline to stay consistent•       Kaizen's daily 15-minute team meeting is directly applicable to your own career self-management•       GE's turnaround under Larry Culp proves CI works in any industry — finance, tech, healthcare, or your own career•       In 2026's 'forever layoff' climate, CI skills signal indispensable strategic value to any organizationIf you're a woman leader in 2026, the job market has changed dramatically — and not in your favor. Glassdoor's Worklife Trends report calls it the 'forever layoff': small, rolling cuts that never make headlines but keep talented executives in a constant state of anxiety. Meanwhile, AI is reshaping roles at every level, and the competition for standout positions has never been fiercer.As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast — ranked in the top 1.5% globally with over 750,000 downloads — I've interviewed more than 144 of the world's top leadership experts. When I heard Olaf Boettger's approach to continuous improvement leadership, I immediately knew this was the missing framework most women leaders had never considered.Olaf spent 27 years at Procter & Gamble and Danaher — two of the most operationally excellent companies on earth — mastering the Japanese Kaizen philosophy. What he discovered translates directly to career acceleration: the same system that doubled Toyota's worker productivity and powered GE's biggest turnaround in American history can supercharge your leadership brand and make you the candidate no one can afford to pass over. The 2026 Career Reality: Why 'Working Hard' Is No Longer Enough The data is sobering for women leaders right now. According to Glassdoor's 2025 Workplace Trends report, small layoffs — under 50 people — now represent 51% of all job cuts, up from just 38% in 2015. These 'forever layoffs' create cultures of anxiety where talented women question their value daily.At the same time, female manager engagement dropped seven percentage points in 2025 alone — the steepest decline of any group, according to Gallup research. Women leaders are being asked to do more with less, carrying teams through AI disruption and RTO mandates, while their own career advancement stalls.The traditional answer — work harder, be more visible, volunteer for every high-profile project — simply isn't scaling. In a market where 45% of employers rate the job outlook as 'fair' at best, you need a completely different strategy. You need continuous improvement leadership. ?

GET YOUR FREE LEADERSHIP BRANDING BLUEPRINT ACCELERATOR What Is Continuous Improvement Leadership? The Kaizen Framework Explained Continuous improvement — known in Japanese as Kaizen, meaning 'change for the better' — originated at Toyota nearly 90 years ago. After World War II, with limited resources and a need to compete globally, Toyota developed a system to extract maximum quality and efficiency from every process. That system, now called the Toyota Production System, became the foundation of what we know as Lean, Six Sigma, and the Danaher Business System.For women leaders, continuous improvement leadership means applying these same principles to your career, your team, and your organization. It is not a one-time initiative or a January resolution. It is a daily practice — a permanent operating system.The Three Foundation PrinciplesOlaf distills continuous improvement leadership into three core principles:Kaizen — The belief that there is always a better way. This is not about being self-critical; it is about being growth-oriented. Every interaction, presentation, and leadership decision is an opportunity to iterate and improve.Go to Gemba — Go to the real place. Stop relying on slide decks and secondhand reports. As a leader, this means visiting your stakeholders, understanding what your team actually experiences day-to-day, and staying close to the work that creates value.Customer focus — Always anchor to what your 'customer' values. In a career context, your customers are your executive stakeholders, your team, and the business outcomes you're hired to deliver. Everything you do should be filtered through: does this add value for them?The Three Capabilities That Determine SuccessAccording to Olaf, your mindset determines everything. Leaders who succeed with continuous improvement possess three non-negotiable capabilities:CapabilityWhat It Looks Like in PracticeWhy Women Leaders Need It NowCOURAGEHonestly naming when your performance or your team's is 'red' — even when the culture rewards positivity over truth.In 2026's performance-pressured environment, leaders who surface problems first are seen as strategic — not weak.HUMILITYStaying open to learning regardless of your experience level. As Olaf says: the best leaders he's known, including P&G's CEO A.G. Lafley, were the most humble.Imposter syndrome tempts women to prove they already know everything. Humility is the counterintuitive superpower.DISCIPLINEShowing up for improvement consistently — not just in January. Committing to the decade, not the quarter.Career advancement compounds. The women who stand out in 2026 are those who have been quietly improving for years. The Business Case: What Continuous Improvement Leadership Actually Delivers For skeptics — and Olaf acknowledges that many leaders initially resist this approach — the numbers make a compelling argument. Toyota, the originator of this system, generates roughly twice the revenue per employee compared to its nearest competitors. Danaher, where Olaf spent the bulk of his career, has sustained approximately 15–16% compound annual growth for 40 consecutive years.The most visible example is GE's transformation under Larry Culp — the former Danaher CEO who took over when GE was in deep financial trouble. Using continuous improvement as the operating backbone, Culp and his teams executed what many consider one of the greatest corporate turnarounds in American business history, eventually splitting GE into three highly successful independent companies.On a practical level, Olaf shared a specific case study from a Danaher acquisition: a company delivering orders on time just 50% of the time. Using CI methodologies, that number rose to 95%. For context, if Amazon delivered your packages on time half the time, you'd stop using Amazon. A 45-percentage-point improvement is not incremental — it's transformational. TRY THIS NOW (10 Minutes)Apply Olaf's Red/Green method to your career right now: Identify one goal you have for your career this quarter (promotion, salary increase, high-visibility project).Set a specific target. Write your current actual. Color code it: are you green (on track) or red (below target)? If red — write one sentence explaining why.Then write one action you will take this week to close the gap. That's continuous improvement leadership in action. Do this every Monday.  How to Apply Continuous Improvement Leadership to Your Career in 2026 The beauty of Kaizen is that it scales from a Toyota factory floor to your personal career strategy. Here's how to translate Olaf's framework into your daily leadership practice:The 15-Minute Daily Leadership HuddleAt every Danaher facility, teams hold a 15-minute standing meeting every morning. They review five metrics — safety, quality, delivery, inventory, productivity — and ask: are we red or green? If red, why? Who does what by when?For your career, your five metrics might be: stakeholder relationships, project delivery, skill development, visibility, and team performance. A daily or weekly 10-minute self-check asking those same questions creates the discipline of continuous improvement at the individual level.Visual Management for Your CareerOlaf emphasizes making performance visible. In organizations, this means color-coded boards. For your career, this translates to maintaining a simple achievement tracker — a running document of your wins, metrics, and impact — that you review weekly. This directly feeds your Leadership Branding Blueprint and becomes the evidence base for promotion conversations.The Growth Mindset + Kaizen ConnectionOlaf's PhD research connected him deeply to Carol Dweck's work on fixed vs. growth mindsets. Dweck's research demonstrates that individuals who believe abilities can be developed through dedication consistently outperform those who believe talent is fixed. Continuous improvement is the operational expression of growth mindset — it gives you the system that turns that belief into measurable career results.

Outra estrutura nova, mas sem o tamanho de uma “sintonia”, é o Setor do Raio X, espécie de “corregedoria” interna, responsável por auditar as contas da facção.

In this candid conversation on The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, and leadership development coach Danielle Adams-Wiltshire, PCC of Queen Suite Coaching get real about the burnout epidemic hitting coaches and clients alike in 2026. They trace the surprising history of burnout... from shell shock in the World Wars, to John Henryism and the crushing toll on Black Americans during Jim Crow, to the clinical coining of "burnout" in the 1970s... and land squarely in the present, where everyone seems to be running on fumes with no finish line in sight. But this isn't a doom-and-gloom episode. Noelle and Danielle share what actually helps when you're on your knees: the neurobiological power of laughter, why dogs might be the best leadership teachers, the difference between toxic positivity and genuine resilience, and why your 2026 goals don't have to be big... they just have to be yours. The goal doesn't have to always be growth. It can be function.

DEAR WLS Question from Dependable Don Hey bob what's it going to take to get a couple Gideon optics in ace vr….. I know your listening make it happen and the fans will try to stop Aaron from doing a over the pants handy Question from Duke of Crude from Texas Duke of Crude: Why is 28 gauge becoming more popular than 16 gauge? I ve been dabbling into shotguns recently and have noticed a large amount of 28 gauge availability even at places like Walmart. Notes: Savage is now Jar Jar binks with his stupid ass avatars he uses on the show to match some of the stupid ass comments he says. Also this being written in January, will Aaron go through more jobs, relationships, or vehicles in 2026? Question from Anonymous Coward from Florida Hi. Could y'all explain the legal process of building an sbr at home? I asked a local shop about doing the paperwork through them just to make it simple and their $200 fee, while probably reasonable, kind of put a damper on my excitement for free tax stamps. I know I need to get fingerprints and pictures done and engrave my address on the gun. What are my best options for accomplishing those things myself? Question from Anonymous Coward from Nebraska Dear wls. I have a bolt action 6.5 creedmoor pistol if I SBR it and for whatever reason want to unsbr it what would I have to do? Question from Anonymous Coward from NC Question for the cast from RealDeal Episode 644 got me thinking about printing suppressors. What if a company sold you a mounting device, either direct thread or QD, that is made of a material that can handle the heat. Then that company will sell along with it a STL file that allows you a certain number of prints or unlimited prints of the actual baffles/can. It would thread onto the mount that is on your gun and you could print an unlimited number of replacement “cans”. Just a thought that popped in. Also the only serialized part would be the mount. So you can just throw away the printed portion and slap on a new one. Let me know your thoughts. #textwhiledriving #agency171 #wls Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from CT From Jaqin Ta'Sox: Question: Can you choose the order that the episodes are loaded into podcasts or is my app screwing with me?

In this episode of MacBros, we continue diving deeper into rifles and the learning curve that comes with them. Darius shares how his latest indoor range session went while zeroing both his rifle and PCC, using feedback and recommendations from the community. Not everything went perfectly though — some of his magazines literally fell apart, sparking a bigger conversation about how any gear can fail, whether it's pistols, rifles, or accessories. We talk about why testing your equipment and doing regular checks matters more than brand loyalty. Josh also shares recent mail from Gideon Optics as he continues progress on his DY9Z pistol review, and we close out discussing rifle mechanics and our commitment to continuing to grow our knowledge and skills with long guns this year.

The Neuroscience of Thriving: How Women Leaders Transform Burnout Into Happiness and High Performance With 60% of senior women reporting record burnout (McKinsey, 2025) and 82% of all employees at burnout risk, the happiness crisis demands neuroscience-based solutions. Dr. Paul Zak reveals the "key moments" framework, Love Plus algorithm, and immersion science that transforms workplace well being, leadership culture, and sustained career success. • Happy workers are 13% more productive, with wellbeing interventions showing 10-21% productivity gains (Oxford, 2024) • 50% of happiness comes from quality social relationships—80% of "key moments" are social experiences • Women leaders who invest in relationships develop different brain activity patterns for sustained thriving • The "do-not-do list" creates bandwidth for extraordinary experiences that prevent burnout • Silence, volunteering, and authentic vulnerability are neuroscience-backed practices for long-term happiness As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast (900,000+ downloads, top 1.5% globally), I'm witnessing an unprecedented crisis: 60% of senior-level women report feeling frequently burned out—the highest level ever recorded (McKinsey, 2025). And it's getting worse. WebMD Health Services research shows burnout perceptions increased by over 25% from 2022 to 2024, with 82% of all employees now at burnout risk. Gen X women leaders, senior managers, and directors face the highest rates—precisely the women who should be thriving at the peak of their careers. But what if the solution isn't "work-life balance" programs or meditation apps? What if neuroscience reveals a completely different approach to sustained happiness and high performance? In Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Paul Zak—pioneering neuroscientist and author of "Immersion: The Science of the Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness"—we explore the brain-based framework for thriving that transforms how women leaders approach wellbeing, create extraordinary workplace cultures, and sustain career success without sacrificing happiness. The Thriving Crisis: Why Traditional Wellbeing Programs Fail Women Leaders Fast Company (2025) reports that throughout 2025, companies treated employees with "stunning disregard": rolling layoffs, unchecked workloads, and blind eyes to burnout. Over 200,000 American women quit their jobs this year, citing inflexible policies and lack of support. For women leaders specifically: • Only 26% strongly agree their organization cares about their wellbeing (Gallup, 2025) • 42% of working women say their job has had a negative impact on mental health (vs. 37% of men) • Women who feel stressed daily are 46% more likely to actively seek new jobs • 36% of full-time women have a mismatch between preferred and actual work arrangements Why the Gap? Most organizations spent the past decade conflating wellbeing with wellness programs. They handed out meditation apps, gym stipends, and yoga classes while ignoring the root causes: uncaring managers, lack of connection, always-on expectations, and feeling unappreciated. The result? Burnout soared, engagement flat-lined, and the best women leaders walked awa What Neuroscience Reveals About Thriving vs. Surviving "The book has the title Happiness in it, but it's really about thriving," Dr. Zak clarifies. "How do I extend positive mood and high energy over my lifetime?" Using distributed neuroscience technology and the Six app (measuring brain activity continuously at one-second frequency), Dr. Zak's research team discovered something revolutionary: People who have 6 or more "key moments" daily are truly thriving—engaged in life, resilient to stress, and sustaining high performance. What Are Key Moments and Why Do They Matter? "Key moments are high-value experiences that help us grow as human beings and thrive," Dr. Zak explains. "What we found is that the systems in the brain that give us these high-value moments are deep in the brainstem, hidden from our conscious awareness." Dr. Paul Zak This explains why traditional self-assessment wellbeing surveys fail: Most people cannot accurately identify what truly makes them happy. "When we ask people, 'What was your most important moment yesterday?' they don't know," Dr. Zak reveals. "Because it's hidden from conscious awareness. Many times, people will do something they think is really fun that doesn't give their brain a lot of value." The Neuroscience: Why Social Connection Drives Happiness Recent research from Oxford University confirms what Dr. Zak's neuroscience proves: About 50% of our happiness is due to the quality of our social relationships. But here's the critical finding for women leaders: 80% of key moments are social experiences. "It's the people that give me that ability to be present and emotionally open," Dr. Zak emphasizes. "Sometimes I'll get a key moment when I'm really in a great writing project, but mostly, it's when I'm out at a conference, having dinner with people, giving talks." The Leadership Implication: Women leaders facing declining corporate support (only 54% of companies now prioritize women's advancement) cannot wait for organizational culture change. You must proactively create the social connections and immersive experiences that sustain your brain's capacity to thrive. The Two Core Components: Presence and Emotional Openness 1. Being Present "If I'm distracted, it's not going to be a good experience for me," Dr. Zak explains. "So I'll often take my phone and just turn it off in meetings. Hey, you guys, this is an important meeting, I need all the phones off." For Women Leaders: • Create technology-free zones during strategic thinking and team conversations • Block "thinking time" on your calendar—treat it as sacred as client meetings • Practice "walking in silence" to oxygenate your brain and generate ideas • Use the 60-90 minute rule: take 5-minute movement breaks to maintain cognitive clarity 2. Being Emotionally Open "Do we want to be around people who don't share their emotions with us?" Dr. Zak asks. "No. If I say 'I'm having a tough day' and you're like 'oh, that's terrible' with no emotion—that's not a friend, that's a robot." Emotional experiences are saved in memory in a particular way that makes them more easily accessible. When you share authentic emotions, you activate neural pathways that build trust, create connection, and generate the key moments that sustain thriving. Critical for Women Leaders: This isn't about oversharing or being "too emotional" (a bias women already face). It's about strategic vulnerability that makes you relatable, trustworthy, and capable of building the deep connections that drive both happiness and high performance. The Love Plus Algorithm: A Neuroscience Framework for Daily Happiness When Time Magazine asked Dr. Zak to write three sentences on New Year's resolutions, he created what he calls his "algorithm for living a happy and fulfilled life": Love Plus. The Love Plus Framework: L - Love and be loved Invest deeply in relationships. Research shows 50% of happiness comes from social connection quality. For women leaders, this means prioritizing meaningful relationships with family, friends, and trusted colleagues—not just networking transactions. O - Openness to new experiences Travel, try new activities, engage with different perspectives. Novel experiences create neurological growth and generate key moments that sustain thriving. V - Volunteering and giving back "The evidence is so overwhelming that helping others makes you happy," Dr. Zak notes. Even small acts of generosity—buying a colleague coffee, mentoring a junior team member—create reciprocal happiness loops. E - Exercise Physical movement isn't just wellness theater. It oxygenates the brain, reduces stress hormones, and creates conditions for key moments to emerge. PLUS: • Purpose: Connect daily work to larger meaning and impact • Learning: Continuous growth through reading, courses, new skills • Unique experiences: Prioritize extraordinary moments that create lasting memories • Silence: Create space for reflection, creativity, and strategic thinking How Women Leaders Apply Love Plus Daily Dr. Zak's framework isn't theoretical—it's immediately actionable: Morning: 10 minutes of silence before checking devices (builds presence, reduces cortisol) Workday: 2-3 "connection moments" with team members beyond task management (builds trust, creates key moments) Lunch: Walk outside without phone (exercise + silence + openness to new observations) Afternoon: Learn something new—read an article, take a short course, explore a topic (continuous learning) Evening: Invest in deep relationships—quality time with family/friends, not just logistics (love and be loved) Weekly: Volunteer or mentor (giving back creates sustained happiness) The Do-Not-Do List: Creating Bandwidth for Thriving "Many executives tell me they don't have time for key moments," Dr. Zak acknowledges. His solution? The do-not-do list. "I realized I was doing a lot of things on my to-do list that weren't actually that valuable. So I made a second list called my do-not-do list. And it's way longer than my to-do list." Examples from Dr. Zak's Do-Not-Do List: • Do not attend meetings without clear agendas and time boundaries • Do not respond to every email within 2 hours (batch processing instead) • Do not say yes to every speaking invitation (protect creative bandwidth) • Do not schedule back-to-back meetings all day (protect key moment opportunities) • Do not work weekends as default (protect relationship investment time) For Women Leaders: What activities drain energy without creating value? What obligations stem from people-pleasing rather than strategic necessity? Your do-not-do list creates the space for the 6+ daily key moments that neuroscience shows drive sustained thriving.

Gray divorce is one of the fastest-growing divorce trends, yet it remains one of the least talked about experiences. It is not just the end of a marriage. It is the unraveling of decades of shared life, identity, routines, and expectations. In this episode, Susan Guthrie is joined by gray divorce coach Maryjane Sweet for a deeply moving conversation about what it truly takes to navigate this transition with intention, emotional awareness, and integrity. Susan and Maryjane explore why gray divorce can feel so destabilizing, especially when it arrives unexpectedly, and how the loss extends far beyond the marriage itself. They talk about grief, identity shifts, nervous system overwhelm, and the invisible emotional labor women carry as they try to hold themselves and their families together during profound change. What You'll Learn Why gray divorce is not just a legal ending, but a profound emotional and identity shift after decades of shared life Why rituals around loss, such as leaving a family home or removing wedding rings, help create closure and support healing How daily anchors like sleep, nourishment, movement, and connection are essential tools during divorce Why adult children are deeply impacted by gray divorce and how parents can model integrity, resilience, and self-compassion How focusing on how you want to feel can help guide decisions when the future feels like a black hole Why coaching support can be critical during gray divorce and how it helps women move forward without getting stuck in the past About the Guest  Maryjane is a gray divorce coach and consultant. She combines the lived experience of ending a 26-year marriage with deep professional training to help women navigate the emotional and practical complexities of gray divorce.
