Podcasts about People power

Irena Teneva, an associate technical director at the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, joins the FM podcast to share insights gathered from a new AICPA and CIMA report, Future Ready Finance: Productivity at the Human-Technology Crossroads. Teneva illustrates the types of tasks experiencing clear efficiency gains from artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, where finance leaders are more cautious about implementation, and steps those leaders are taking to expand how tools can be used. Teneva also highlights why productivity still hinges on finance talent, priority areas for skills development, and how finance leaders are collaborating across business functions. What you'll learn from this episode: Process and people priorities for finance leaders in 2026. Where AI implementation is leading to time savings for companies. Some steps leaders are taking to optimise and expand AI use. Why productivity is still a "people game". How finance leaders are approaching cross-business collaboration. Three key steps to improving efficiency, according to leaders.

In this episode, Amardeep Gill and Professor Catherine Staite explore the human dimensions of local government reorganisation and the leadership challenges that emerge when organisations are preparing to close rather than grow. While statutory structural change orders and shadow authority arrangements provide the legal framework for transition, the episode examines how councillors, chief executives, officers, partners and communities experience the reality of organisational change, and what good governance looks like under pressure.They discuss the relational and cultural aspects of effective endings, including how leaders navigate identity loss, institutional ambiguity and competing political incentives while remaining accountable and effective throughout the transition process. They also consider how organisational culture, behaviours and priorities are carried into successor arrangements, often shaping outcomes long after reorganisation has formally concluded.

From Romulus's open-city policy to Claudius's reforms, citizenship was used by Rome as both a reward and a weapon. As this Long Read written by Shushma Malik explains, it enabled the burgeoning empire to build power and define identity.

This week on Democracy Dialogues, host Esam Boraey speaks with Shandana Khan Mohmand and Marjoke Oosterom, democracy experts at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), University of Sussex, to unpack the takeaways of the newly released Democracy Report “Where's the Dēmos in Democracy? Building Democratic Futures and Resisting Autocracy.” At a moment when autocracies outnumber democracies for the first time in twenty years, this report argues that the democratic crisis is not simply an institutional one, it is a crisis of exclusion. For too long, efforts to build democracy have focused on formal institutions like legislatures, courts, and electoral commissions, while neglecting the people those institutions are supposed to serve. The report puts forward eight building blocks for recentering citizens in democratic life, from building active citizenship and supporting informal mobilization, to reclaiming digital agency and strengthening accountability mechanisms. Drawing on decades of research across the Global South, from Pakistan and Zimbabwe to Uganda, Brazil, and beyond, Shandana and Marjoke bring the report's findings to life with vivid examples of how ordinary people fight back against backsliding, reclaim civic space, and keep democratic values alive even under authoritarian pressure. The conversation also addresses the role of inequality in driving democratic decline, the double-edged nature of digital technology, the power of youth movements, and what the dismantling of USAID means for global democracy support.

We're living in the loneliest moment in modern history. And at the same time, people have never been hungrier for hope, for joy, for meaningful connection. Your volunteers are at the center of that tension. And if you're not treating people power as a strategy, you're leaving your mission's most powerful asset on the table.Recorded live at the We Are For Good Summit, this conversation brings together four extraordinary leaders: Susan McPherson, founder and CEO of McPherson Strategies and author of The Lost Art of Connecting; Nicole Stewart, Executive Director of Boston CASA; Nicole R. Smith, Executive Director of ALIVE, the National Professional Association for Leaders in Volunteer Engagement; and Sara Lomelin, CEO of Philanthropy Together.In this episode, you'll hear:What ALIVE's data shows about organizations that treat volunteers as strategy vs. afterthought: 80% more volunteers, 60% higher engagement, and donors who are twice as likely to giveBoston CASA's three non-negotiables for scaling a volunteer program without burning people out: exceptional training, strong supervision, and a mission-anchored cultureHow to operationalize people power right now: from launching a giving circle to giving volunteers a role, not a receiptWhy skills-based volunteering is surging even as companies go quiet on CSR, and what that means for nonprofitsPeople are looking for hope. They're looking for joy. They're looking for meaningful connections. You are the one they've been waiting for.

There Is No Business Outcome That Doesn't Involve People Revenue, innovation, customer experience, strategy execution — all of it runs through people. Angela's foundational belief is that HR, positioned correctly, is directly tied to every business result an organization needs. That framing changes everything about how the function shows up. 2. HR Started as Process — and Forgot About Influence Angela's diagnosis of how HR lost its seat at the table: the function got very good at processing and forgot about influencing. The path back is showing up with data, tying recommendations to business outcomes, and being part of the conversation rather than behind it. 3. Policy Should Be a Guideline, Not a Wall One of the most powerful lessons from Angela's early career: following policy to the letter can harm the very people HR is supposed to protect. The best people leaders ask "what else can we do?" before defaulting to what the handbook says. 4. Benefits Have Three Layers — and the Order Matters Layer 1: Foundations — comprehensive, affordable health, dental, and vision. Layer 2: Flexibility — in how, when, and where people work. Layer 3: Growth and recognition — opportunities to stretch, develop, and feel valued. Companies that skip to Layer 3 without nailing Layer 1 are building on sand. 5. Caregiver Benefits Are the Most Underrated Tool in Total Rewards Employees don't leave their home lives at the door. Sick parents, sick kids, and pets in need of care are constant sources of distraction and stress. Caregiver benefits that address these realities don't just help employees — they protect productivity and demonstrate that a company sees the whole person. 6. The Aging Parent Crisis Is Coming — Companies Aren't Ready As Baby Boomers age, a growing portion of the workforce will face elder care responsibilities that compete directly with their work. Companies that build caregiver support into their benefits now will be better positioned to retain experienced employees through one of the most stressful seasons of their lives. 7. Presenteeism Costs More Than Most Companies Realize Being at work — physically or virtually — is not the same as being engaged and productive. Angela's point on presenteeism is a sharp one: an employee who is worried about an aging parent, a sick child, or a personal crisis may be clocked in but effectively absent. That has a dollar value, and it belongs in the benefits ROI conversation. 8. Here's How to Pitch a CFO on Life Concierge Benefits Pull absence data. Calculate the cost of leave tied to caregiving responsibilities. Layer in the cost of replacing an employee who left because they didn't have the right support. Then present the cost of the benefit against those numbers. It's not a soft sell — it's a hard business case. 9. "My Company Took Care of Me" Is the Most Powerful Recruiting Tool You Have Word of mouth from employees who feel genuinely supported travels far. When people tell friends, former colleagues, and their networks that their company stepped up for them during a hard time, that's employer brand you can't manufacture with a marketing budget. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction Adam welcomes Angela Briggs-Paige, CPO and founder of People Power, and sets up a conversation about what modern HR leadership really looks like. 01:30 – From Pre-Med to People Leader Angela traces her unexpected path from biology major and aspiring doctor to discovering HR through a work-study job — and never looking back. 04:00 – Redefining What HR Is For Angela's core belief: there is no business outcome that doesn't involve people. How she flips the script on HR as a compliance function and positions it as a business driver. 06:30 – The Mentor Who Pushed Her The manager who challenged Angela to stop saying yes and start asking "what does this mean for the business?" — and how that changed her entire approach to the function. 09:00 – A Story She Wishes She Could Take Back Angela gets vulnerable about an early-career mistake: terminating an employee for exceeding their leave allotment instead of asking what else could be done — and what that taught her about the difference between policy and people. 12:30 – Policy as Guideline, Not Gospel How that experience shifted Angela's thinking on flexibility — and why the best people leaders treat policy as a framework to work within, not a wall to hide behind. 15:00 – The 3 Layers of Benefits That Actually Matter Angela's framework: Layer 1 is foundations (affordable health, dental, vision). Layer 2 is flexibility. Layer 3 is growth and recognition. Why the order matters as much as the content. 18:00 – The Case for Caregiver Benefits Why caregiver benefits — covering aging parents, sick kids, and pets — are among the most impactful and underutilized tools in total rewards, and what happens when employees don't have them. 21:00 – The Aging Parent Problem No One's Talking About Baby Boomers are aging. The workforce is about to face a caregiving crisis. Angela makes the case for why companies need to get ahead of it now — and what benefits can actually help. 23:30 – Peace of Mind as an ROI You can't buy peace of mind — but a company can offer it. How life concierge benefits reduce distraction, improve focus, and make employees feel genuinely cared for. 26:00 – Presenteeism: The Hidden Cost Nobody Measures One of the sharpest moments in the episode: Angela introduces presenteeism — being at work but mentally absent — and explains why it may cost more than absenteeism. 28:30 – How to Pitch a CFO on Life Concierge Benefits Angela's step-by-step framework: pull absence data, calculate leave costs, layer in retention math, and build a cost-benefit case that speaks the CFO's language. 31:00 – What's Lighting Angela Up Angela closes with what's giving her energy at Transform 2026: being surrounded by people leaders who genuinely care about making workplaces better.

Nuns armed with rosary beads helped lead millions of Filipinos in peaceful demonstrations that, 40 years ago, brought down the dictator Ferdinand Marcos.  Ringing in the ears of the people was the voice of a soft-spoken archbishop who urged them to topple a corrupt and increasingly brutal regime.  Just how critical was Cardinal Jaime Sin and the Catholic Church to the People Power revolution?  GUEST: Dr Jethro Calacday, Filipino historian currently at Cambridge University

Am 22. Januar 1986 beginnt auf den Philippinen ein Volksaufstand gegen Wahlbetrug und autoritäre Herrschaft. Er gilt als Beispiel für gewaltfreien politischen Umbruch. Von Murat Kayi.

Forty years ago, the Filipino people did the extraordinary: we toppled a dictatorship with nothing but courage and conscience. It was a global masterclass in peaceful revolution.Yet today, we find ourselves asking a heavy question: If we were capable of such greatness then, why is shared prosperity still so elusive now?In this podcast, I mentioned the four influential leaders—Amando Tetangco Jr., Erin Tañada, Rapa Lopa, and Cesar Purisima—dissect our journey from 1986 to today. Through their insights and my own "Family Parallelisms," we explore why freedom was only the beginning, and why the "boring" work of building institutions and breaking patronage is the key to our next forty years.If the first forty years gave us our voice, the next forty must give us our maturity. Listen now.

"Marketing's got this incredibly important role to play in generating meaning around the things that matter." Following in the theme of sharing ‘good news' and inspiration… in this episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet, we are joined by Ivo Gormley, OBE, Founder and CEO of GoodGym. Ivo shares the story of how a simple act of running to deliver a newspaper to an older, housebound neighbour evolved into an inspiring movement that is redefining exercise, tackling social isolation and building greener, more connected communities. GoodGym's model is beautifully simple, members walk, run, or cycle to collabortively undertake physical tasks within their local community. Now active in over 65 UK locations, it transforms solitary fitness into meaningful social action which is both fun and rewarding. A pivotal insight from their work highlights a pressing modern issue: "16 to 25 year olds are the most likely to be lonely... It's a fantastic evaluation showing that our activity is particularly powerful for giving people that sense of belonging and identity." The organisation's success is backed by rigorous research from the London School of Economics, which shows that participation leads to “a 27% increase in belonging, a 12% reduction in loneliness, and a 21% increase in life satisfaction.” Ivo sees a major opportunity for Marketers in this space to reposition civic contribution not as a worthy chore, but as a desirable, identity-building activity. "Marketing's got this incredibly important role to play in generating meaning around the things that matter," he argues, emphasising the need to make social progress a core part of an attractive, fun social life. Looking ahead, GoodGym is focusing on engaging younger demographics and scaling its impact, supported by a major media partnership. Ivo's vision is for GoodGym to become a mainstream, default option for exercise and a natural step towards a happier, healthier, and better-connected society. This episode will make you want to get out there and get involved! Tune in as we talk to Ivo about: How turning exercise into community service can create a “triple win” for individuals, neighbours, and local spaces. Why young people are most at risk, and how purposeful, collective action can build powerful belonging and life satisfaction. Why fun and collaborative experiences are key to driving sustained participation and behaviour change. The compelling social impact data from the LSE that proves combining fitness with volunteering is a highly effective.

Join us as Cindy and Dawn unpack how to navigate the complexities of people and power dynamics to drive lasting success in projects and beyond.   In this episode, you will learn:   How does using animal avatars makes us understand how humans operate and negotiate through  project land? How does your actual approach to project management differ from some of those traditional methods? How can clarifying roles or responsibilities can transform the outcome. What are some of the common pitfalls that teams face in project management and how can we negotiate around them before they derail success? What tactic strategies are found to be most effective in rallying support especially especially in high stress environments. How can professionals ensure that every team member understands and embraces their project role? Why narrative is so powerful in project management and in negotiation.

Send us a textBuyers don't pay top dollar for a founder's heroics; they pay for a business that runs without the founder. We sit down with M&A advisor John Martinka to map the moves that turn people power into enterprise value, from reducing owner dependency to proving that your management team and systems deliver results without you. If you've ever wondered when to start planning an exit, how to treat addbacks, or what actually spooks a lender, this conversation is your field guide.John explains why clean, believable financials are worth far more than the taxes you think you're saving, and how sloppy addbacks quietly shave six figures off your outcome. We go deep on the HR and compliance traps—especially contractor misclassification and state-specific rules—that can crater a deal late in diligence. Then we dig into the real engine of valuation: people. Learn how to build redundancy, design retention bonuses that keep key talent through integration, and communicate culture so employees trust the transition instead of fearing it.We also lay out the biggest value drags—coasting on past wins, customer or supplier concentration, and penny-wise decisions that starve growth—and offer practical fixes you can deploy this quarter. Whether you'll sell to an outside buyer, a team, or family, the same principle holds: good businesses let sellers control the deal. Get the playbook to turn an exit into a legacy, not just a liquidity event.Subscribe for more unfiltered strategies, share with someone building something big, and leave a quick review with your top takeaway.
