In this episode of Building Doors, host Lauren Karan sits down with Cathryn Greville, CEO of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), a lawyer, governance expert, and one of the industry's most passionate advocates for systemic cultural change. From collaborative contracting to parental leave, from male allyship to psychological safety, Cathryn makes a powerful case that construction's biggest challenges: productivity, skills shortages, and retention won't be solved by technology alone. They'll be solved by leadership.Cathryn shares the evidence: inclusive teams make better decisions 87% of the time, and twice as fast. She explains why the single biggest risk time for losing women in construction is pregnancy and return to work, and why getting more men to take parental leave is a retention strategy, not a social one. She also pulls back the curtain on NAWIC's $5 million "Allyship in Action" project, including site-based allyship programs, sponsorship training, and a cultural ambassadors program designed to reach young tradies before bad habits set in.Tune in for a frank, data-driven, and hopeful conversation about what it actually takes to build workplaces where people want to stay  and why inclusive leadership may be the most underleveraged commercial advantage in construction today.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Inclusive Leadership and the Future of Construction:Why inclusive leadership is a commercial advantage, not just a social initiativeHow leadership styles directly impact workforce retention and project outcomesThe role leaders play in creating psychologically safe workplacesThe Link Between Inclusion, Productivity, and Performance:Why inclusive teams make better decisions and achieve stronger business resultsHow psychological safety improves productivity and reduces workforce riskThe hidden financial costs of poor workplace culture and employee turnover Innovation Starts with People:Why innovation is about more than technology and AIHow diverse perspectives create better solutions and stronger decision-makingThe connection between workplace culture, creativity, and problem-solvingWorkforce Challenges and Talent Attraction:Why construction's workforce shortage requires a broader talent strategyHow inclusive workplaces help attract and retain the next generation of workersWhat Gen Z expects from employers and why culture matters more than everFlexibility, Retention, and Modern Work:Why flexibility means more than working from homeHow small adjustments can significantly improve employee retentionThe importance of designing workplaces around people's real needsPregnancy, Parenthood, and Retaining Women in Construction:Why pregnancy remains one of the highest-risk points for losing women from the industryThe role parental leave and caring responsibilities play in workforce retentionHow supporting fathers and caregivers benefits the entire workforceMale Allyship and Culture Change:What male allyship looks like in practiceWhy giving men the tools to support change is critical for industry transformationHow NAWIC's Allyship in Action program is helping shift workplace cultureRecruitment, Bias, and Untapped Talent:Why construction still relies heavily on traditional hiring methodsHow transferable skills can unlock new talent poolsThe importance of challenging assumptions about who belongs in constructionBuilding a More Sustainable Industry:Why workforce sustainability is becoming one of construction's biggest challengesHow governments, clients, contractors, and leaders can work together to drive changeWhat organizations can do today to become employers of choice Key Quotes from Cathryn Greville:"Productivity all comes back to people.""The biggest impediment to innovation isn't the technology. It's whether people are able to implement it.""Innovation is not just tech. Innovation is about solving problems.""The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.""If you're not engaging 50 percent of the population, you're missing a huge opportunity.""We need workplaces where people feel safe, valued, and able to do their best work.""Inclusion is not just a diversity initiative. It's a business strategy."About Our Guest:Cathryn Greville is the CEO of NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction), a lawyer by background with decades of experience in industry reform, regulation, and governance. She has worked across litigation, collaborative contracting, and cultural transformation in both the UK and Australia. Cathryn is currently leading NAWIC's $5 million "Allyship in Action" project (funded by the Building Women's Careers Grant Program), delivered in partnership with CPB Contractors, Adco Constructions, the Australian Workers' Union, and Holmesglen Institute.

Slick interfaces, instant productivity, and AI platforms that look and feel like they were built by software giants. By all logic, one would logically assume they're making us more secure and professional. Yet, far too frequently, the exact opposite is happening, and we are witnessing the death of the professional "safety floor" in software. The reality is rooted in aesthetic deception. This week, I examine the rise of "vibe-coded" tools built by enthusiasts with professional-grade AI but back-ends held together by digital duct tape. While we have just started getting to the point where people are working to guard against basic data leaks, we're entering the era of application intimacy, granting "always-on" access to our most sensitive digital environments in exchange for minor conveniences. Given that, we have to move beyond basic data security and develop surgical discernment while also removing the bureaucratic friction that forces employees to go rogue in the first place.My goal is to get you off cruise control by highlighting the following opportunities to protect yourself and your organization:Developing Your ROI Smell Test: We've been told that if a product is free, we are the product. But vibe-coded startups are now charging for tools that still harvest your data. You must learn to interrogate the math: if an app promises to fully automate your life for $10, but the compute costs don't add up, your data is subsidizing their business. You cannot blindly trust a paid tier; you must evaluate if the provider has the "chops" and finances to actually protect you. Managing API Intimacy: We've moved from sharing email addresses to granting "API Handshakes". I break down why giving "Read/Write" access to your entire Google, Microsoft, or Slack workspace for a simple summarization tool is a catastrophic trade. You need to audit your persistent permissions this week and stop the "always-on" bridges that allow vulnerable apps to become doors into your entire digital identity. Ending the Shadow IT Insurgency: IT leaders often view employees as "bad actors" bucking the system. I share why Shadow IT is actually a symptom of Friction. If vetting a $10 tool takes three months and a decade of IT experience to navigate, you are the security risk. You must move from the "Department of No" to the "Department of How," streamlining your processes to keep high-performers within your safe ecosystem. By the end, I hope you see that being future-focused isn't about slowing down. It's about having the right strategic friction to keep you from going over the cliff. We can't stop when it comes to technology. Instead, it's about building the partnerships that make innovation safe. ⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

Joanne Sheppard is a strategic advisor to the Holzbrinck Group — the German family holding company behind Macmillan Publishers, Springer Nature, and Die Zeit — and a board member across several of its owned and invested companies. Her career spans publishing, M&A, and corporate strategy, and she brings an unusually wide lens to her work: graduate study in English literature, executive education in AI and innovation at MIT, positive psychology from Penn, and board governance through INSEAD.In this conversation, we explore why AI adoption stalls inside large organisations — and why the answer has far less to do with technology than most leaders assume.Things we will cover:Why AI adoption is fundamentally a change management problem, not a technology problemHow to build the psychological safety that makes experimentation and upskilling possibleWhat IKEA and JP Morgan can teach us about bringing employees along on the journeyHow to think about reinvesting the productivity AI frees up — and why that decision deserves a quarterly board conversationThe architects, bridgers, and catalysts framework for understanding the role of leadership in driving adoptionFrom employee resistance to board-level strategy, Joanne draws on real experience inside a complex, decentralised organisation to offer one of the most grounded and human-centred perspectives on AI adoption you'll hear.Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinker.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks

Across Europe and beyond, the headlines are starting to sound familiar: Local opposition. Delays. Resistance to renewable projects.But what if that is only part of the story? In this episode of Sound of Green, we explore why local acceptance is not just a barrier to overcome, but a prerequisite for scaling renewable energy and strengthening security of supply. Because when communities are engaged early and given a real stake in projects, something shifts. From resistance to participation. From scepticism to empowerment. And ultimately, towards a more resilient and secure energy system.With insights from:Stephan Krabsen, Avedøre Energy CommunityChris Vrettos, Rescoop Mogens Halgskjær, Andel

Why do so many talented senior engineers struggle the moment they step into a tech lead role? Most of them are promoted based on their coding ability, but that same strength becomes a liability the moment they start leading a team.In this episode, Anemari Fiser, tech lead coach and author of “Leveling Up as a Tech Lead”, shares the three mindset shifts that define the transition from senior engineer to effective tech lead: moving from an “I” to a “We” mindset, shifting focus from code to value, and trading short-term thinking for long-term impact. She explains why so many engineers hold on to coding out of fear, how to delegate without losing accountability, and why most technical problems are really people problems in disguise. Anemari also addresses how AI is reshaping the tech lead role and why the fundamentals of leadership still apply regardless of the tools your team uses.Key topics discussed:The 3 mindset shifts required for the transition to tech leadWhy your coding strength can hold back your teamHow to let go of coding without losing your technical edgeDelegation secrets: setting expectations that actually stickInfluencing without authority — and when it's not enoughHow to measure your impact when results are hard to seeLeading your team through AI adoption without creating chaosTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:41) What Motivated Anemari to Write Her Book, Leveling Up as a Tech Lead?(00:05:41) How Is the Tech Lead Role Defined?(00:06:45) How Does the Engineering Manager Role Differ From a Tech Lead?(00:09:37) Why Is the Transition to Tech Lead One of the Most Challenging Career Moves?(00:14:21) How Can Tech Leads Shift From Short-Term to Long-Term Thinking?(00:18:34) How Can Tech Leads Learn to Let Go of Writing Code?(00:26:30) Why Is Every Tech Problem Actually a People Problem?(00:30:52) How Can Tech Leads Delegate Effectively?(00:37:18) How Can Tech Leads Influence Without Authority?(00:40:37) Why Is Accountability Without Authority Unfair to Tech Leads?(00:43:42) How Can Tech Leads Measure Their Impact?(00:46:52) How Does AI Change the Role of a Tech Lead?(00:52:26) Should Tech Leads Use AI to Get Back to Hands-On Development?(00:55:33) How Can Tech Leads Stay Accountable for AI-Generated Code?(01:00:26) With AI in the Mix, Is a Tech Problem Still Just a People Problem?(01:01:10) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Anemari Fiser's BioAnemari Fiser is a tech leadership trainer, coach and O'Reilly author of Leveling Up as a Tech Lead.

Normally when I do an interview for the Fancy Scientist podcast, it's me interviewing a guest. But for this week's episode, I'm flipping the script and the guest is….yours truly: Me!!You see, last year I was interviewed by my friend and fellow podcaster Andrew Lewin, who hosts the How to Protect the Ocean Podcast. Because I had such a great time chatting with him and my audience has grown so much recently, I thought It would be a great opportunity for you to get to know me more so that you can learn about how I got to where I am today and learn from my experiences and path from traditional research scientist to online business owner in content creation for wildlife careers and science, conservation, and nature education.  I have a very unconventional career path with many unexpected twists and turns. For the first 17 years of my career, I went about this career through the traditional research route, but even this choice itself was unexpected. To be honest, I didn't even know wildlife biology was a viable career path until I took a study abroad program in Kenya focused on wildlife management. You'll learn how I stumbled upon this program and why I chose it. From there I participated in multiple internships, got a Ph.D. studying forest elephants, and had multiple postdocs. Andrew and I get real about what it's like to have a lasting career in this field. I talk about the hardships of trying to find a permanent position while working to stay in a place that I loved (Raleigh, North Carolina) and navigating an oversaturated wildlife job market. I truly was shocked by how few permanent jobs I was truly qualified for, how closely job experience needs to match job descriptions, and how competitive the field is, even for people with PhDs. I was told I would not be pigeon-holed, but I was. We spend some time discussing the competitiveness of this career and what I teach students: that finding clarity, being strategic about experience and networking, and improving job applications, are the keys to success through a proven framework that I've now tested with dozens of students. I thought I was going to be a researcher for life, but my journey took me in another direction. The difficulties I had in landing a permanent job after my Ph.D. combined with the science communication experiences from years of postdocing at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences opened my eyes to my true fashion: science communication and career mentoring.I decided to do this through entrepreneurship - something I never thought I would do! As a young girl, I grew up watching my dad run his jewelry business and never wanted that for myself, but over time I realized that I could only have the impact I wanted on conservation and the natural world through opening my own business. Andrew and I have an honest discussion about what it takes to run a business in this field, including the financial pressures and mindset. If you've ever thought about starting your own business or side hustle, which I truly believe is something anyone can do in this field, and to be honest should do, this episode is for you. You'll get my advice on how to get started and earn revenue by teaching your expertise in science and nature fields (or any other area of expertise!). As podcasters, Andrew and I are both passionate about science communication and we take a deep dive into how to effectively communicate science with the public. We talk about how my work at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, blogging, and public speaking, led me to recognize how much conservation solutions ultimately came down to reaching people and not through studying a species or its habitat (this is important, but not what it going to solve most conservation problems). I realized through studying a critically endangered species that no amount of research on this animal would save this species - rather, the solutions were all economic, political, or related to education. Getting others to care or have behavioral change would have a more profound impact on conservation for most problems and this was a big motivation for my career change.Finally, Andrew and I discussed my work on TV shows, including how I first appeared on Science Channel's What on Earth through a professional connection, and then later joined History Channel's The Proof Is Out There after producers found my YouTube video explaining why “black panthers” aren't present in the U.S. I go over what it's like to prepare for filming a television, how often it happens, and what I've learned about what audiences find fascinating when it comes to wildlife and nature, like bigfoot and other cryptids - a total surprise to me! Whether you are a new friend here to the podcast or a longtime listener, this is a really great episode to get a behind the scenes look at what I do professionally, as well as what it's like to be both a researcher working many different kinds of jobs in the wildlife profession. More specifically, I reveal:How I went from a straight career path of wildlife research to founding and running my own businessWhy a Kenya study abroad was a pivotal moment for me when I realized wildlife biology was a real careerMy Ph.D. research on forest elephant social behavior and using non-invasive genetics from their poop to study social structureHow saturated and competitive wildlife conservation jobs are, even with a Ph.D.Why alignment between your experience and the job posting matters so muchThe biggest reasons people don't get interviews (and what to change in applications)How investing in yourself can affect follow-through and resultsHow I started my own business in 2020 and ways you can generate revenue through an online businessWhat it's like to do science communication on TV and how I landed roles on the Science, History, and Discovery channelsHow being a scientist is similar to being an entrepreneurMy advice for anyone considering a side hustle or online businessAnd MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

In this solo episode of the Everyday Business Problems podcast, Dave Crysler tackles a classic leadership question: is it a people problem or a system problem? Drawing on stories from his early days in leadership and recent client work, Dave unpacks why what looks like a “people issue” is often a symptom of broken or missing systems. From unclear expectations to a lack of tools and accountability loops, this episode explores what leaders can do to avoid jumping to conclusions and start building better outcomes. What You'll Discover: Why most “people problems” are actually system problems in disguise. A practical 3-part test to determine whether your team is set up to succeed. Common traps leaders fall into, like vague feedback and avoiding hard conversations. Real-world stories of both overreaction and inaction, and the costly outcomes of each. How to create clarity, consistency, and accountability without overcomplicating your operations. Why investing in your team doesn't just mean hiring better, it means building better systems around them.

Bringing new ideas to life at work shouldn't feel like pushing a boulder uphill. But too often, it does.Leaders say they want innovation. Teams try to deliver it.

As a group practice owner, it's easy to assume your struggles are about hiring or team dynamics, when what's really needed is some honest reflection and strong leadership training for teams. In this episode, I sat down with leadership coach, Adrian Koehler to unpack what's actually going wrong in many therapy practices: leadership mistakes that no one wants to talk about. Adrian and I get into the real reasons leaders get stuck, why “being nice” isn't always kind, and how your discomfort might be costing your business. We bust some major myths about leadership, and Adrian shares what therapists-turned-leaders need to know if they want to grow a team that's healthy, honest, and aligned. Here's what we cover in this powerful conversation: The #1 blind spot that leads to the most common leadership mistakes - and how to start fixing it today What to do if you've given someone too many chances and it's starting to hurt your team (spoiler: it's not just about writing a PIP) Why great therapists often struggle as leaders, and how to overcome that disconnect with the right leadership training for teams The truth about radical candor, “ruinous empathy,” and how these hidden habits damage team culture How to ask yourself one simple (but daring) question that reveals how to improve as a leader in your group practice Whether you're leading a small team or managing a growing staff, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership - and how you show up for your people.   LINKS: Need extra support?

We tend to treat people problems as if they are all different and require different solutions for each situation. But in today's episode, I'm going to make the case that every people problem you face -- whether it's a resistant teacher, a toxic culture, or a broken relationship with your team -- are all different versions of the exact same problem: A lack of Alignment. And, I'm also going to show you how the solutions we've been taught to apply -- writing people up, having tough conversations, working on the relationship, etc. -- won't solve these problems. However, there is a solution and I'm going to break it down in today's episode. By the time you're done listening, you'll know how to stop wasting time dealing with these type of challenges one-by-one and apply the ONE solution that will solve them all #LikeABuilder.

God designed life to be really simple...love God and obey Him. There are many ways we humans have complicated things. One of the things that can make life much more complicated than it has to be is...people. Whether it's that we have the wrong people, too many people, or even no people in our lives, we can't look at the idea of a simple life without examining the "people" that surround us.
