The public relations industry has long been recognized as a female-dominated field, with women making up approximately two-thirds of the workforce. However, when it comes to leadership, women remain significantly underrepresented, comprising just one-third of top-tier roles. This disparity raises critical questions about the systemic barriers that prevent women from rising to senior leadership positions in PR agencies and organizations.In this episode, we examine the challenges faced by women in their careers, the personal and societal factors that hinder their progress, and the strategies they've employed to overcome these obstacles. Sue Heuman is a strong female leader in the PR industry, a designated Master Communicator through IABC, Past Chair of the IABC Global Communication Certification Council, and an executive leader. Listen For7:35 Where Are the Mentors?9:38 Too Harsh or Too Soft?

This episode is in honour of Podcasthon and in support of the Canadian Cancer SocietyWhen facing a life-altering cancer diagnosis, how much does communication—between doctors, patients, and loved ones—truly matter? In this deeply moving episode, Doug Downs sits down with Tim Kelter and Pete Paczko, two men with firsthand experience navigating cancer's devastating impact. Tim shares the heartbreaking story of losing both his daughter and wife to cancer, while Pete, currently battling stage 4 liver cancer, discusses the power of resilience and the role of community support. They dive into the failures and successes of medical communication, the well-meaning but sometimes misguided reactions from friends and family, and how music and simple human connection help them process their grief. This is an emotional and eye-opening conversation about love, loss, and the urgent need for better conversations around cancer.Listen For7:25 "Dad, I Don't Want to Die" – Tim's daughter, Carolyn, breaks down upon hearing her diagnosis, expressing her deepest fear, while Tim struggles to find the right words to comfort her.9:35 "You Should Expect to Be Dead" – Pete recalls a temporary oncologist bluntly telling him he had only 12–18 months to live, only for his regular doctor to later dismiss the claim as unknowable.29:35 "The Song That Woke Her Up" – Tim shares how his son played Bennie and the Jets for Carolyn while she was in a coma, and when she woke up, she remembered hearing it.Guests: Tim Kelter and Pete Paczko Rate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

In a world where technology is increasingly intertwined with human emotions, a new frontier is emerging—artificial intelligence that can understand how we feel. Imagine an AI system that doesn't just analyze data but senses our emotional state through the words we choose, the way we describe our experiences, and even how consistently we check in with ourselves.This isn't science fiction. Advances in natural language processing, psychology, and machine learning are making it possible for AI to interpret human emotions with surprising accuracy. Researchers are now using AI-powered systems to classify mood states based on self-reported text, combining insights from neuroscience and behavioral psychology to enhance human decision-making.But how does an AI system detect emotions through words? What psychological theories guide its ability to distinguish between stress, motivation, or disengagement? And could this technology reshape how we interact with machines—perhaps even with one another?Listen For9:46 AI Can Accurately Estimate YOUR Emotional State12:34 AI Detects Emotions Before Humans Do18:41 Is this Ethical?22:48 Answer to Last Episode's Question From Guest Greg WassermanGuest: Michelle Baty, Neuro PsychologistThreads | Instagram | FacebookListen to Michelle on the Stronger by Design podcast with Michelle MacDonaldRate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Fractional Leadership is a growing, and possibly permanent, trend of fractional leadership and why it's becoming a permanent shift in the business world. As organizations face leadership gaps, budget constraints, and rapidly evolving challenges, fractional leaders—experienced executives hired on a part-time basis—are stepping in to provide strategic guidance and stability. What is the unique value they bring? How do they differ from consultants and full-time executives?

TikTok is a powerful social media tool in the United States. About 170 million Americans use the platform and for many marketing and PR agencies it's the preferred go to tool.The average time on TikTok in 2024, per user, is estimated to be 58 minutes per day. But several governments have banned TikTok from being used on Government devices – including the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia. In India, TikTok is banned altogether.In late April 2024, President Biden signed a bill into law that has bipartisan support. It's called the National Security Act, 2024. Under the new law, ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, has until late January 2025 to divest itself of TikTok and find new ownership for the social media company.TikTok is fighting back saying the law is unconstitutional. What does the potential ban mean for marketing and PR pros?Listen For5:10 The Impacts a Ban on Tiktok Will Have on Different Sectors6:07 Platform Contingency Plans21:12 Regulation and Market DynamicsGuest: Cayce Myers, PhD, LL.M., JD, APREmail | X | LinkedIn | WebsiteRate this podcast with just one click Leave us a voice message we can share on the podcast https://www.speakpipe.com/StoriesandStrategiesStories and Strategies WebsiteDo you want to podcast?

Communication is the most important weapon a Navy SEAL can carry—more vital than physical strength, endurance, or even firepower. I was in Salt Lake City recently at a conference and saw former Navy SEAL William Branum speak. He served for 26 years with the US Navy and 23 of those years was a Navy SEAL. In his presentation he talked about how clear, concise, and often nonverbal communication plays a critical role in high-stress, life-or-death situations—whether underwater, in a firefight, or clearing a house. He broke down the lessons SEALs learn on the battlefield that can be applied to leadership, teamwork, and personal growth. So, when I had a chance to sit down with him in the lobby, I grabbed my mobile phone, and we recorded an episode together. This is a conversation about the power of communication and how simplifying your message can lead to greater impact.Listen For4:26 The Power of Nonverbal Communication 6:36 Simplicity is Key in High-Stress Environments 10:33 Self-Communication Shapes Success 12:24 Adaptability in Crisis Situations Guest: William Branum, former Navy SEALWebsite | Instagram | You Tube | FacebookRate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteConnect with usLinkedIn | X | Instagram | You Tube | Facebook | ThreadsRequest a transcript of this episodeSupport the show

The Chairperson of the Clare branch of the Vintners Federation of Ireland says it's a "joke" that Shannon Airport doesn't have adequate public transport links. It comes as a number of tourism and hospitality representative organisations are demanding that the next Government addresses the challenges being faced by their sectors. With Government formation talks progressing, those encountering difficulties in their respective industries are making their concerns known. The Vintners Federation of Ireland, the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation, the Restaurants Association of Ireland, the Irish Hotels Federation and the Licensed Vintners Association have this week outlined the challenges they're encountering and the measures they wish to see introduced over the coming Dáil term. Among their asks are for the hospitality VAT rate to be reduced to 9% and for the rising cost of business to be meaningfully addressed through sector-specific measures such as an across-the-board reduction in employers' PRSI. From January 1st, the minimum wage will rise by 80c to €13.50 per hour, and Vice-Chair of the Clare Tourism Advisory Forum Maurice Walsh, who owns Durty Nelly's in Bunratty, says this is unsustainable. Other areas the organisations are asking the next Government to address are the tourism bed capacity crisis, with 25% of this county's bed stock contracted to the Department of Integration according to the latest Fáilte Ireland figures. Additionally, the removal of the Dublin Airport passenger cap is being sought in conjunction with greater incentives to travel through regional airports. Clare VFI chair and owners of O'Dea's Pub in Ennis believes Shannon Airport isn't getting the investment it deserves and is accusing the Government of pursuing a "self-serving", Dublin-focused aviation policy.
