In this inspiring episode of the Emory University series on Nurse Converse, host Dr. Everett Moss II, CRNA, sits down with three powerful voices from the Emory University School of Nursing—Dr. Beth Ann Swan, Dr. Shawana Moore, and recent graduate Sofi Igyan—to unpack one of the most misunderstood words in nursing: power.Together, they challenge the idea that power is something loud, aggressive, or purely positional. Instead, they explore power as the ability to influence change, whether you're an academic leader, an advanced practice nurse, or a new graduate stepping into the profession for the first time.Listeners will hear:Why power is deeply personal and often situational—shifting with the room you're in, the role you hold, and how others perceive you.How humility and silence can be profound sources of strength, including the concept of the “silent storm” and the impact of knowing when not to speak.The student and new-graduate perspective on power—how embracing agency, mentorship, and opportunities can transform the nursing school and early-career experience.The role of mentorship in cultivating influence and the responsibility to lift others as you rise.How storytelling and social media can serve as powerful platforms when nurses share lived experiences and credible information.Practical advice for nurses at every stage—from flowing like water through challenges, to embracing new opportunities, to navigating imposter syndrome.From redefining influence to owning your voice at any stage of a career, this conversation highlights the many forms of power nurses hold—and how harnessing that power can shape both individual careers and the future of the profession.>>8 Keys to Cultivating Power in Your Nursing CareerJump Ahead to Listen: [00:02:19] Understanding power and influence in nursing [00:04:43] Navigating personal power and professional presence [00:10:15] Influence within nursing's power structures [00:14:32] Elevating student confidence and empowerment [00:20:17] How nursing students shape conversations online [00:21:24] Examining influencers and credibility in nursing [00:26:01] Storytelling as a catalyst for impact [00:30:09] Mentorship as a foundation for future leaders [00:37:01] Staying open to unexpected opportunities [00:40:05] Adapting and “flowing like water” in your career [00:42:15] Growth through professional and personal challenges [00:47:00] Books and ideas that inspire empowered nursing practice For more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

Send us a textNew year, new goals… but how many of us actually prioritize professional development as a resolution?Most people jump into January thinking about eating better, working out more, maybe saving some money or getting more sleep. And those are all important. But here's something that often gets left off the list—and it might be the most important investment you can make: developing yourself as a leader, and investing in the growth of your team.If that hasn't made it onto your list of resolutions, I'm going to make the case for why it should be. In fact, I'd argue it might be the single most strategic move you can make this year—for yourself, your organization, and your team.Whether you're a physician leader, an operations executive, or a practice administrator, staying stagnant is not an option. The world of healthcare is simply changing too fast. The workforce is demanding more than just a paycheck. And organizations that don't evolve—well, they start to fall behind pretty quickly.Today, we're diving into the “why” and the “how” of professional development in 2026: how to get started, what it can look like, and how to avoid the all-too-common trap of underinvesting in your own growth—and that of the people around you.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

In this special reflective episode, I pause to look back on 2025—a year filled with growth, connection, creativity, and community inside Outdoor Classrooms.Rather than an interview, this episode is an invitation to slow down. Together, we reflect on what it truly means to build outdoor classrooms over time—with intention, curiosity, and care—while looking ahead to what's taking root for 2026.

My stomach in my throat, I was unable to get the words out (in spite of being in a senior leadership role). Then, I heard my boss shut down the meeting. My heart sank. I was mortified. She pulled me aside and said, "You didn't trust your gut. You could've tabled the meeting like I did."Why didn't that option occur to me in the moment? Why did I feel like I needed permission?That was the day I set out to change. I began a journey of personal growth to discover the root of the problem.

Send us a textWe have all been there: You are handed a project, you feel out of your depth, and you are convinced everyone else knows exactly what they are doing. On this week's episode, Scott and Mike tackle Imposter Syndrome head-on, using a disastrous DIY plumbing story involving an angle grinder and a shower handle as the perfect metaphor for professional growth.The duo discusses why being an "expert" doesn't mean knowing everything—it means knowing who to ask and being willing to figure it out. They break down the "7 Red Lines" theory, Scott introduces his concept of the "Working Wheel" regarding willingness to change, and they offer three practical steps to get out of your own head and start trusting your own expertise.Key Takeaways:The "Expert" Trap: Referencing the viral "The Expert" YouTube sketch, the hosts discuss how sales reps are often asked to do the impossible (like drawing transparent red lines). True expertise isn't magic; it's creativity under pressure.Scott's 3 Steps to Beat Imposter Syndrome:Stack Your Wins: Write down your successes. When you see them on paper, it is harder to convince yourself you are a fraud.Progress vs. Perfection: Stop comparing your internal struggles to someone else's external highlights. You are not the worst salesperson ever; you are just learning.Collaborate to Validate: Talk to other pros. You will quickly realize they aren't "superhuman"—they just have different experiences (or a blowtorch and lubricating oil).The Working Wheel: Career longevity comes down to a willingness to try new things. If you stop trying, the wheel stops turning.Curiosity > Intelligence: You don't have to be the smartest person in the room. You just have to be the most curious and the most prepared.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

As we reflect on 2025, this episode pulls together the most important themes shaping the year ahead — from the rapid acceleration of AI and automation, to the evolving realities of security, leadership, and trust in an increasingly complex world.What was once hidden behind the scenes is now accessible to everyone. AI has moved from the “Matrix” into daily workflows, forcing organizations to rethink efficiency, security, and human value. At the same time, rising geopolitical tension, information warfare, and emerging technologies like quantum computing are redefining what risk really looks like — both for businesses and for people.This conversation also explores the human side of 2025: leadership under pressure, the importance of culture, mentorship, and professionalism, and why kindness, trust, and preparation are no longer “soft skills,” but strategic advantages.From executive protection and estate management to corporate security, AI leverage, and career longevity, this episode highlights where leaders must adapt — and where getting it wrong even once can have lasting consequences.KEY HIGHLIGHTSAI has crossed a critical threshold — no longer theoretical, but operational, accessible, and increasingly powerfulAutomation and optimization are now survival tools, not optional efficienciesSecurity threats are no longer siloed — digital, physical, personal, and reputational risks are deeply interconnectedQuantum computing looms as a disruptive force that could render today's encryption obsoleteExecutive protection is expanding beyond the C-suite into broader personnel and brand securityLeadership today requires relationship capital, situational awareness, and long-term thinkingCulture, kindness, and mentorship deliver measurable performance and retention advantagesCareers are becoming less linear — leverage, adaptability, and mindset matter more than pedigreeTo hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

Nokukhanya Mntambo talks to Judy Klipin, Author and Career Coach, about why annual goal setting is more than a checkbox. It’s about giving teams direction, improving performance, and aligning personal growth with organizational priorities. Rather than being a bureaucratic exercise, clear goals help staff focus on what matters most over the year and measure progress in a meaningful way.

In this episode, Cecilia Lemos-Harmer and Adrian Underhill explore how language learning is deeply connected to identity, emotion, and embodiment, rather than being a purely intellectual process. Adrian argues that effective language development happens when learners feel psychologically safe, engaged, and willing to experiment with new sounds and expressions. He emphasises the teacher's role in creating conditions for learning by managing attention, presence, and classroom energy, rather than simply delivering content. He also highlights pronunciation and voice work as gateways to confidence, self-expression, and communicative competence, noting that learners often need permission to “be different” in another language. This conversation between Ceci and Adrian reframes language teaching as a human, relational practice, where awareness, trust, and physical engagement are central to meaningful learning.Visit Adrian's website: https://adrianunderhill.com/ To find the complete archive of Developod episodes, go to tdsig.org/developod-tdsigs-podcast

In this solo episode, Sarah dismantles the common misconception that being a skilled coach is enough to build a successful business. She explores the dangerous confusion between Professional Development (becoming a better coach) and Business Development (learning how to acquire clients).Sarah explains why highly intelligent coaches—especially those with HR or procurement backgrounds—often struggle the most, and why the industry sees an 82% failure rate. She offers a liberating perspective: struggling to find clients isn't a failure of your coaching ability, but simply a lack of a separate, learnable skill set.Key Takeaways1. The Misunderstanding of Client AcquisitionMost coaches graduate believing client acquisition is intuitive, assuming that "casting a wide net" is the right strategy2. Defining the Two DisciplinesProfessional Development: This covers what your qualification taught you: core competencies, listening skills, ethics, and facilitating transformation.

Send us a textHave you ever looked around the sales floor, watched a top performer, and thought, "I need to do exactly what they are doing"? You try to copy their jokes, their cadence, or their spreadsheet obsession, only to find it feels clunky and awkward. On this week's episode, Scott and Mike discuss why trying to be someone else is the fastest way to set off a prospect's "BS alarm."Instead of imitation, the duo argues for adaptation. The goal isn't to become the person next to you; it's to identify your own unique "Superpower"—a mix of self-awareness and feedback—and lean into it. Whether you are a "spreadsheet person" or a "storyteller," your success comes from consistency and authenticity, not mimicry.Key Takeaways:The Danger of Imitation: While it is good to want to improve, trying to change your fundamental personality to match a peer usually fails because it lacks genuineness.Defining Your Superpower: Your superpower is often identified through external feedback—what do people thank you for doing well? It requires the self-awareness to separate your daily "whirlwind" tasks from your core strengths.The "Friends" Theory of Sales: You can't sell to Joey the same way you sell to Chandler. A great sales rep reads the room and adapts their delivery without changing their core process.Scott's 4-Step Guide to Authentic Sales:Stay in your lane: Don't get distracted by how others sell.Play to your superpower: Know what you are best at and maximize it.Adapt without imitating: Learn from mentors, but put their tactics into your own voice.Consistency always wins: Once you find a process that fits your style, stick to it.Listener Challenge: Mike leaves us on a cliffhanger this week: If self-awareness and strength are superpowers, what is the opposite of a superpower?

This month, it's our usual podcast host Jonathan in the spotlight! He's interviewed by Arnab Seal, who featured in our previous episode.  How to pinpoint the start of Jonathan's leadership journey? Perhaps when he was a senior registrar and helped set up a junior doctors' committee to come up with realistic proposals to resolve some of the things that weren't working as well as they could - like rotas. "That was leadership, but I didn't really realise it at the time," he says, "I was just doing what I felt needed to be done to make a difference." It's a reminder that leadership often starts with small but meaningful actions. Jonathan went on to become a consultant and senior lecturer in Leeds, and engaged in medical education and safeguarding. Now Vice President for Education and Professional Development at the College, where he enjoys learning from others' expertise and perspectives, he's been at the helm of the RCPCH Thrive Paediatrics programme, which supports paediatricians to promote wellbeing in their work. As Arnab says in his reflections on the episode, "the best leaders are those who lift others up and help them thrive".

Two new Think Fast Talk Smart AI tools put communication skills to the test in real time.Technology promises many things, but few experiments illustrate its potential more vividly than a coach in conversation with his own digital counterpart. In this episode, Matt Abrahams introduces two new AI-powered tools from the Think Fast Talk Smart Online Learning Community: Coach Matt and Chat Matt. Trained on years of Matt's communication teachings and podcast insights, these digital counterparts offer a rare opportunity to watch human expertise meet machine-driven guidance in real time.Coach Matt begins by addressing a familiar tension: the surge of anxiety that surfaces before high-stakes speaking moments. His approach reframes that nervousness as a form of future-focused energy that can be redirected toward curiosity and clarity. He also introduces the “What–So What–Now What” framework, a simple but powerful method for giving feedback that remains constructive, direct, and grounded in shared purpose.Chat Matt then steps into the conversation, tackling the challenge of crafting a compelling proposal in just two minutes. Its responses reveal how AI can quickly synthesize communication principles while also highlighting the evolving space where human nuance and digital precision intersect.By pairing Matt Abrahams with his own digital counterparts, this episode of Think Fast Talk Smarts explores the future of communication learning—one where technology doesn't replace the coach, but expands the possibilities for insight, clarity, and confident expression.Episode Reference Links:Think Fast Talk Smart Learning Community Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:13) - Introducing Coach Matt and Chat Matt (04:14) - Coach Matt: Speaking Anxiety (06:14) - Reframing Nervousness (07:14) - Constructive Feedback Framework (08:33) - Testing Communication Advice (10:07) - Chat Matt: High-Stakes Presenting (13:59) - Strengthening a Two-Minute Proposal (16:35) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

You're rolling out a math resource across your district—but you're noticing that some classrooms feel scripted and disconnected from student thinking. What's going wrong?In this episode, we reflect on a powerful insight from Dr. Crystal Watson's summit presentation—one that's still resonating with us weeks later. We dig into the difference between fidelity and integrity in math instruction, and why rigidly adhering to a curriculum as written can actually limit student thinking, teacher agency, and culturally responsive practices. Together, we explore how a shift toward integrity—teaching with purpose, understanding, and flexibility—can help educators honor the design of high-quality resources while still responding authentically to their students' needs.Listeners will walk away with:A clear distinction between curriculum fidelity and instructional integrity in mathReal classroom examples that show how “fidelity” can stifle or support learningInsights on supporting teacher autonomy without losing coherenceHow to use staff meetings and PLC time to build shared understanding of math instructionLanguage you can bring back to your team to deepen instructional conversationsTune in as we reflect on what it really means to lead math improvement with purpose, clarity, and respect for the expertise in every classroom.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?
