Podcasts about power dynamics

Influence is a force that weaves its way through every layer of our organizations and lives. Yet its true essence, what gives it power and meaning, often lies beneath the surface, quietly shaping outcomes not through authority or force, but through trust, connection, and presence. In this episode, Ali Schultz sits down with fellow Coach Courtney Joyce for a deep and candid conversation about what it means to influence others, whether you're early in your career, leading cross-functional teams, or navigating challenges as an executive. Together, they explore how true influence is more akin to building bridges than issuing commands; it's about leveraging credibility, reliability, and, perhaps most crucially, vulnerability. From understanding the unwritten rules of your organization to building genuine relationships and balancing assertiveness with warmth, this conversation traces the inner work required for authentic influence.

Ronda Alexander on strategies to build inclusive health coalitions, manage power dynamics, center marginalized voices, & design sustainable governance. Summary In this episode of Health Hats, host Danny van Leeuwen talks with Ronda Alexander, a community health advocate and skilled facilitator, about the challenges of building and maintaining effective health coalitions. Alexander shares her journey from attending Detroit's innovative Henry Ford Academy to working with Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies on workforce development, ultimately finding her calling at Vital Village Networks in Boston, where she spent seven years supporting national coalitions focused on health equity and early childhood wellbeing. The conversation explores practical ways to manage power dynamics in cross-sector collaborations, from setting group norms that encourage real participation to designing decision-making processes that balance speed and sustainability. Alexander stresses the critical importance of listening to marginalized communities—those "furthest from opportunity"—and making sure they have real seats at decision-making tables, not just token representation. Key insights include strategies for inclusive facilitation, such as incorporating quiet reflection time, small group discussions, and developing shared talking points that coalition members can take back to their organizations. Alexander advocates for proactive governance planning, comparing effective coalition building to chess strategy, where groups think "seven to eight moves down the board" to prepare for inevitable challenges. The episode wraps up with Alexander's call to action for health advocates: start by listening to the communities you want to serve, trust what people tell you about their needs, and design systems that place those most affected by health inequities in leadership and decision-making roles.

Welcome back to The Unmasked Project!In this tell-all episode, we rip the mask off one of the lifestyle's most whispered-about topics: the No-Fly List. Who gets put on it, why they're there, and how it feels when you find out you made the cut. From unspoken boundaries to repeated STI scares, we're digging deep into what keeps people “off limits” in open relationships and Lifestyle circles.It's raw, it's real, and sometimes… it's personal. We swap stories of awkward “not with you” moments, playing politics in play parties, and the awkward truth about why some people just can't get past your partner's rules. Plus, the surprising ways being single changes how couples treat you—and why some flirtations never make it past the DMs.If you've ever asked yourself, “Am I being respectful… or am I about to get grounded from the hot list?”—this one's for you.

In this episode, Amanda explores how to navigate conflict without getting trapped in outrage cycles, and why responding with intention matters more than always being right. She shares how power dynamics shape the way we speak up, and why the choice to let something go can be just as meaningful as the decision to push back.

In this second conversation with political philosopher Yoram Hazony, we dive deeper into the biblical concept of nationhood, wrestling with listener-submitted questions on nationalism, empire, and political virtue. Hazony responds to critiques and clarifies his position: biblical nationalism is not about racial purity or imperialism, but about the virtue of limited, self-governing peoples—unified not by ethnicity but by shared laws, traditions, and faith. Hazony distinguishes biblical terms like am and goy, explores the status of converts like Ruth, and dismantles the modern racialized understanding of nationhood. He emphasizes that scripture assumes nations will be internally diverse, but not infinitely so—there must be a dominant center that holds people together. The conversation also explores why biblical literature, not Greco-Roman thought, shaped the American constitutional order, and why the prophets critique empire while affirming the need for some form of the state. As Hazony puts it, “Purity is not the goal. Faithful unity is.” For the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy article Yoram mentioned in the interview, access the PDF here: https://journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/wp-content/uploads/sites/90/2025/06/Hammer-FINAL_TC-JH-YRH-edits.pdf For more of Yoram's literature: https://www.yoramhazony.org/ https://x.com/yhazony We are listener supported.

What does it take to handle power dynamics in academic life — not just within the lab, but in the broader institutional structures that shape a scientific career? In this resonant episode, Renaud and Jonathan explore the complexities of academic hierarchies and institutional politics with three guests: Alicja Puścian (University of Warsaw, Poland), Dori Grijseels (Max Planck Institute, Germany), and Angeline Dukes (University of Minnesota, USA). Each guest brings valuable insight into how power is experienced, challenged, and negotiated at different stages of the academic journey. This episode examines how broader power structures — toxic environments, institutional cultures, visa precarity, discrimination, lack of accountability — can shape the everyday experiences of researchers. It looks at the power of allyship, and how early-career scientists can navigate these realities while maintaining integrity and building healthy lab environments. The ALBA-IBRO Diversity Podcast 'From Postdoc to PI' is organized with the support of the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), a founding partner of the ALBA Network.

The question the book asks is obviously transforming the system is not an individual task, it's a collective activity. But it still begs the question, if we're trying to contribute to that, what do we need to do? Not every four years when we vote, not every year when we go to a strategy workshop, but what do we do every day? And so the title is very straightforward: Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems. And that's the question the book is offering an answer to.My second conversation with writer, facilitator and consultant Adam Kahane (the first was episode e219) and with the audience at the Ottawa launch of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, the Catalytic Power of Radical Engagement at Perfect Books on July 2, 2025. This final regular episode of season 6 is part of my roundtable series, open-ended conversations about what a group of citizens are passionate about. And passionate they were! I started by asking Adam why he wrote the book and why does he think it's relevant today, in particular here in the nation's capital at a time when there are great tensions with our neighbours to the south and when Canadians are talking to each other more than ever about our shared values, and the challenges that we face such as the ecological crisis and climate emergency, which sadly seems to have temporarily fallen off our collective radar. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsEmbrace radical engagement: Lean into understanding diverse perspectives and actively seek common ground.Recognize the power of everyday habits: Focus on daily actions to create lasting systemic change.Navigate complexity: Balance working towards a larger goal with acknowledging individual interests and power dynamics.Collaborate across differences: Seek opportunities to work with those who hold different views to achieve meaningful progress.Act responsibly: Consider the broader impact of your actions on all living beings.Story PreviewWhat if the key to changing the world lies not in grand gestures, but in the small, often overlooked habits of our daily lives? Adam Kahane shares his journey from facilitating transformative dialogues in South Africa to uncovering the power of radical engagement, inviting us to rethink how we contribute to a better future. Chapter Summary00:00 The Collective Task of Transformation01:19 Introducing Adam Kahane04:01 Setting the Stage for Discussion09:40 The Motivation Behind the Book15:42 Everyday Habits for Transformation22:39 Exploring the Seven Habits29:12 The Slippery Slope of Disagreement and The Challenge of Acting Responsibly35:20 Power Dynamics in Collaboration39:40 Trust and Collaboration44:00 Balancing Urgency and Everyday Habits54:25 Art, Culture, and Collaboration56:13 Radical Engagement in Action01:00:05 Navigating Power Dynamics and The Importance of Agency01:12:51 Redefining Power and Responsibility01:17:04 Risks and Realities of Engagement01:23:13 The Complexity of Multiple SystemsFeatured QuotesTransforming the system is not an individual task. It's a collective activity.Radical engagement is the opposite of standing back with your arms crossed saying, take it or leave it.Ring the bells you still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. (quoting Leonard Cohen)Behind the StoryAdam Kahane's latest book, ‘Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems,' stems from a moment of confusion during an interview with South African leader Trevor Manuel. This experience led Kahane to explore what it means to contribute to systemic change, focusing on the everyday actions that shape our world. This episode explores themes of power, collaboration, and social responsibility and how the arts weave their way through all of this. Credit: cover photo by Conyer Clayton *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

"We as a society are guilty of turning a blind eye to the ongoing sexism and exploitation of women that is blatantly displayed in Hip Hop. You see, I love Hip Hop, but does Hip Hop love me?" - A Conscious Sista'. Misogyny is fundamentally defined as hatred and violence towards women. This "violence" is not limited to physical aggression; it extends to actions that make women feel uncomfortable, hostile behavior, harassment, and other things that cause hurt and trauma.• Misogynoir: When this hatred and violence are directed explicitly towards black women, it is referred to as Misogynoir. Biggie, The Great Frank White spit lyrics that demeaned women. Did he hate women? Does Hip-Hop hate women? Get On Code!This episode of Prof. Kimya's class focuses on misogyny within hip-hop culture, particularly examining the works of artists such as Biggie Smalls. Can hip-hop be revolutionary while simultaneously exhibiting misogynistic and homophobic elements, questioning the industry's power structures and the roles of both male and female artists? The conversation extends to how misogyny is perpetuated through lyrics and consumer expectations, touching upon historical contexts of sexualized content in media and the challenges of creating cultural change within the music industry. We need solutions for addressing misogyny in hip-hop, beyond mere boycotts, by fostering critical engagement, supporting local artists, and challenging deeply ingrained power dynamics.Yep.

In this episode, I sit down with Zenobia Morrill, Ph.D., who shares her journey into psychotherapy—from a personal confrontation with existential truth to navigating her family's intergenerational pain. Dr. Morrill reflects on her early experiences as a therapy client, where she encountered traditional frameworks that often fell short, approaches that pathologized pain while ignoring the broader systemic and historical forces at play. Grounded in liberation psychology and critical theory, Dr. Morrill offers a compelling critique of mainstream psychological models that individualize suffering and overlook the impact of power, politics, and culture. We explore how psychotherapy can become a tool for liberation, not by reinforcing institutional norms, but by creating space to challenge and reimagine them in service of opening up possibilities for personhood. Dr. Morrill shares how critical-liberation psychotherapy offers practitioners a framework to question how therapeutic practices may either reinforce alienation or open new paths toward freedom, healing, and fuller participation in society. She reflects on the importance of broadening our range of being, reclaiming repressed parts of the self, and bridging individual pain to collective emancipation. Therapy, she argues, must move beyond static formulations and recognize that social, political, and cultural forces are already present in the room—they are not “add-ons” but essential to the client's lived experience. This approach does not suggest liberation occurs solely within the therapy room, but asks how the institution of therapy itself—its theories, method, and practices—can be used to support liberatory outcomes. Ultimately, Dr. Morrill calls on therapists to resist objectification of clients and of therapy itself—and to reimagine psychotherapy as a dynamic, relational, and contextually grounded space for transformation. Zenobia Morrill, Ph.D., is a critical-liberation psychologist and psychology professor at William James College. She received her doctorate from the University of Massachusetts Boston and completed her pre- and post-doctoral fellowship at the Yale School of Medicine and at Yale Health, Mental Health & Counseling, respectively. Inspired by her personal and professional experiences with the mental health system, Dr. Morrill emphasizes the power in psychological frameworks as the stories we use to understand ourselves, and the risks presented when these frameworks cannot capture the complex existential, sociocultural, familial, physiological, and tacit dimensions of humanity. Her work centers on the belief that psychological healing must account for these broader meaning systems and political structures that shape individual experience. Her research and clinical interests include psychotherapy process, global mental health, qualitative methodology, theory and philosophy, and critical and liberation psychologies. A recipient of the American Psychological Association's Sigmund Koch Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology, Dr. Morrill's work and Critical-Liberation Psychotherapy model have been recognized and presented internationally.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this thought-provoking episode, guest host Robert Breedlove and co-host Drew dive headfirst into today's most pressing issues—from escalating international conflicts in Israel and Europe to the far-reaching impacts of immigration, shifting values, and the silent transformation of Western culture. The conversation doesn't shy away from controversy: expect candid takes on open borders, the interplay between cultural preservation and changing demographics, and provocative parallels between past and present societies. The duo also unpacks the looming challenges of AI, debt, crumbling political leadership, and the role of economic incentives, arguing about everything from money printing to whether corporations owe us more than just a paycheck. You'll hear hot-button debates on the infamous Epstein case, government transparency, and America's precarious dance with totalitarianism. Throughout, Robert and Drew challenge each other—and their live chat—to consider the real-world consequences of policy decisions, historical cycles, and the relentless pursuit of freedom and values.

The House of Medici, which ruled over Florence for much of the Renaissance period, established a political dynasty with influence built on successful ventures in commerce and banking. The Medicis predated the concept of geoeconomic power, or governments' ability to wield economic might to achieve geopolitical and economic goals. Today, soft power might be giving way to intensifying competition between great powers. Government leaders are increasingly focused on solidifying economic security through trade leverage, tariffs, sanctions and other measures. As a result, potential new investment risks and opportunities are emerging. This episode of The Outthinking Investor discusses how investors can measure their portfolio's exposure to geoeconomic shifts, which economies and sectors could benefit amid a realignment in supply chains, whether the US dollar can maintain its global dominance, and investment strategies that could potentially mitigate risk and capitalize on new opportunities. Our guests are: Matteo Maggiori, finance professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business Joseph Nye, political scientist and former Dean of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government Mehill Marku, Lead Geopolitical Analyst at PGIM Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

Send us a textThe cutting edge of infectious disease control isn't just about vaccines or treatments—it's increasingly about data. Dr. Stephen Molldrem, Assistant Professor at the Institute for Bioethics and Health Humanities, takes us deep into the world of pathogen genomics and the remarkable ethical questions that emerge when we sequence disease-causing microorganisms.What happens when genetic analysis can potentially reveal who infected whom with HIV? Why do some communities welcome these technologies while others resist them? From the controversies surrounding HIV surveillance in America to the enthusiastic adoption of TB genomics in Botswana, Dr. Molldrem reveals how the same scientific tools can take on dramatically different meanings depending on context, trust, and community involvement.The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the global adoption of pathogen sequencing, bringing terms like "variants" and "mutations" into everyday conversation. But this technological revolution has also revealed deep inequities—when South African scientists identified the Omicron variant and transparently shared this information, their reward was travel bans rather than support. This pattern reveals how scientific advancement doesn't happen in a vacuum but within complex social and political realities.At the heart of Dr. Molldrem's work is a fundamental reminder: behind every genetic sequence is a person, a community, and a set of lived experiences. As one HIV advocacy slogan puts it, "We are people, not clusters." The challenge for public health isn't just implementing new technologies but doing so in ways that respect human dignity and build rather than undermine trust.Whether you're fascinated by the science of disease tracking, concerned about health privacy, or interested in how new technologies reshape our understanding of outbreaks, this episode offers a thought-provoking journey through the socio-technical landscape of modern infectious disease control. Join us as we explore what happens when cutting-edge science meets complex human realities.Thanks for listening to the Infectious Science Podcast.

In this episode of the Negotiate X Podcast, Jonathan Hughes explores the dynamics of power in negotiation across business, military, and government contexts. He unpacks how empathy, legitimacy, and human behavior shape influence more than authority or force.  The conversation dives into internal vs. external negotiations, managing up with humility, and why internal alignment often feels harder than dealing with outsiders. Jon also reflects on how teaching deepens leadership and emphasizes that aggression often stems from fear, not strength.  His insights offer a powerful reminder: effective negotiation is not about control, but about understanding, connection, and thoughtful collaboration.

When it comes to the 50/50 conversation, we know that nothing in life or relationships is truly equal. So how do you manage power dynamics in love, work and relationships, so that nobody feels like they're getting the short end of the stick? The Ellises and the crew talk about how to make things truly fair in love and war. Dead Ass. Watch the full video version early on Patreon!

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Sabina Nawaz, global CEO coach and former Microsoft executive, about her new book You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be and Others Need. With authenticity and insight, Sabina shares what no one tells you about stepping into management, from the strange emptiness that can follow a promotion to how pressure can quietly bring out the worst in us. They discuss why even successful leaders can feel like imposters, how power and pressure distort our perceptions, and what it means to be an “innocent saboteur.” Sabina also offers practical advice, such as developing your “shut up muscle,” asking better questions, and making small habit changes that stick. The conversation covers everything from leadership in the workplace to parenting, making this one of those rare episodes with takeaways for every area of life. If you're looking for insights on how to grow as a leader without losing yourself in the process, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “It's not power that corrupts. It's pressure that corrupts.” “If nobody's giving you the full truth, what are the ways you might be going off track?” “When you're under pressure, do nothing. That's counterintuitive but that's where insight lives.” “The more righteous you feel, the more you need to consider alternative stories.” “Use 'Say more' when you're curious—and especially when you're judgmental.” “The only way to overachieve is to underachieve—start with micro habits.” “You're not the only one with imposter syndrome—CEOs have it too.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:15 Start of Interview 02:24 “Can you think of anything from your family culture or experiences growing up that may have influenced how you think about leadership?” 05:08 “You describe getting promoted as a strange emptiness—what were the signs it came with unexpected costs?” 07:17 “Do you see imposter syndrome even in top-level leaders you coach?” 08:21 “How does embracing the complexity of leadership change how we view our own leaders?” 10:04 “How do we unknowingly sabotage ourselves as leaders?” 12:09 “What are some of the signs that you're veering off track as a boss?” 13:10 “What specific things do you personally do to manage pressure situations so you don't become a monster?” 17:13 “You say, ‘stay small longer than you think you need to.' What does that mean and how do you apply it?” 21:07 “What is a singular story and how do we rescue ourselves from believing them?” 26:20 “What's the ‘shut up muscle' and how do you develop it?” 29:02 “Can you think of ideas from the book that apply to parenting as well?” 31:44 End of Interview 32:09 Andy Comments After the Interview 37:40 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Sabina and her work at SabinaNawaz.com/book.

Global payouts, account funding, and subscriptions are key growth areas despite UX friction.3.

Female Teachers Who Sexually Assault Male Students: Understanding a Complex IssueBill Eddy and Megan Hunter explore the concerning pattern of sexual misconduct between female teachers and male students. This episode examines the psychological, interpersonal, and cultural factors that contribute to these situations, while providing insights for prevention and awareness.Understanding the DynamicsResearch indicates these cases often involve teachers targeting older adolescents (15-16 years old), with interactions occurring both inside and outside school settings. The motivations tend to be emotionally-driven rather than predatory. While federal data doesn't track gender-specific statistics, anecdotal evidence suggests increased visibility of these cases in recent years.The behavioral patterns in these cases often reveal complex emotional attachment issues, where professional boundaries become increasingly blurred. Teachers who demonstrate this conduct typically exploit their position of authority while developing inappropriate emotional connections with students.

Stale, stuffy boardrooms, awkwardly arranged furniture, and scratchy marker-pens that have nearly run dry. A facilitator's lament – and perhaps, our worst enemy.Tired of the constant shapeshifting to squeeze into spaces that were never meant for facilitation, Matt Homann moved into the business of hosting people – in his own space. He built Filament, a facilitation space with a codified approach at its core, to help people to meet, think and learn better, freeing creativity from logistical limitations, and making sure a terrible workshop never has to happen again.We talk about how space liberates us, the structures that spark the best conversations, and why simplicity always wins over complexity.

Is "biblical" always what it seems? In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts unpack why the word "biblical" might not mean what you think and explore its misuse across faith, politics, and cultural issues. From examining how "biblical" has become a branding tool to discussing its role in sociological stress tests and power dynamics, this conversation challenges us to rethink how we approach scripture and the teachings of Jesus. The discussion delves into the complexity of interpreting the Bible, emphasizing the need to consider the text itself, the cultural context behind the text, and our own assumptions in front of the text. With deep humility and intellectual curiosity, the hosts highlight how faithful readings of scripture require dialogue, critical thinking, and a willingness to hold tension between differing perspectives. How does the Bible shape the church's role in society? What does it mean to navigate cultural challenges with cruciformity and justice in mind? Join the conversation as these questions and more are explored with nuance and authenticity.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:58 Exploring the Concept of 'Biblical' 05:55 The Sociological and Branding Aspects of 'Biblical' 08:49 The Ambiguity of 'Biblical' in Conversations 11:56 The Power Dynamics of 'Biblical' Language 15:04 The Clear Teaching of the Bible: A Nuanced Approach 17:55 Understanding Context: Behind and In Front of the Text 31:33 The Complexity of Biblical Teachings 36:28 Navigating Interpretations and Understanding 40:04 The Role of Community in Biblical Interpretation 49:07 The Nature of Communication and Misunderstanding 56:18 Unity in Biblical Diversity As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.
