Podcasts about real transformation

In medicine, we are trained to trust what is hard, measurable, familiar, and structured. We question whether something spacious, nourishing, or beautiful can be meaningful, impactful, and lead to real growth and learning. Many physicians are skeptical of coaching, mindfulness, breathwork, retreats, and yoga as relevant and meaningful learning because they do not resemble traditional medical education. This episode encourages you to reconsider what medicine may have taught you to dismiss. PEARLS OF WISDOM • What medicine sometimes labels as "woo" may simply be unfamiliar, hard to measure, or outside the traditional medical framework. Mindfulness, coaching, yoga, breathwork, retreats, and nervous system regulation can still be rigorous, evidence-informed, and deeply impactful. • Suffering is not required for growth. We often equate exhaustion, discomfort, and over-effort with value, yet real learning is often more accessible when we are rested, regulated, and receptive. • Transformation is not the same as information. Physicians are excellent at consuming information, but lasting change comes from integration, practice, embodiment, and living differently in real time. • Simple practices are not shallow. A breath, a pause, a hand on the heart, a walk, a reflective question, or a meaningful conversation can interrupt old patterns and open space for a different response. • Conditions matter. Safety, spaciousness, beauty, community, nature, reflection, and skilled facilitation can make rigorous inner work more possible, not less credible. Real transformation happens when learning becomes embodied, integrated, relational, and safe.   Reflection Questions Where are we still equating suffering with value, rigor, or meaning? What kinds of learning have given us information without creating the change we were hoping for? Where are we treating something unfamiliar as not credible? What might become possible if comfort, beauty, rest, and spaciousness became part of healing and growth? Stay curious about the places where medicine has taught you to dismiss what you have not yet experienced.  Coaching, retreats, mindfulness, breathwork, yoga, reflection, and community are invitations to relate to ourselves, our work, our patients, and our lives with more presence and sustainability. www.jessiemahoneymd.com www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats www.jessiemahoneymd.com/yoga www.jessiemahoneymd.com/mindful-healers-podcast Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.

Caroline Stokes is a strategist who works with C-Suites and Boards to lead their organizations through AI disruption, climate risk, and geopolitical instability. Her new book Aftershock to 2030: A CEO's Guide to Reinvention in the Age of AI, Climate, and Societal Collapse is published by Broad Book Press and serves as a roadmap for leaders navigating the tidal wave of change going on today. The founder of Workplace EQ, Caroline Stokes is previously the author of the business book Elephants Before Unicorns, about which she was interviewed by Dan Hill for his previous NBN podcast, “Dan Hill's EQ Spotlight” in 2020. Empathy, mental sovereignty, super hero: those three aspirations define this conversation well. Let's unpack each term, in turn, to provide a sense of Caroline Stokes' perspective on the world of work nowadays. One of Stokes' points here is that emotional labor is of real value but the burden of getting it done rarely falls equally on people's shoulders in business, with women often taking the greater load. Who should be stepping up more? CEOs, for whom empathy is rarely a Top 10 or even Top 30 strength of theirs. Sometimes hyper-masculinity gets in the way; other times, it might be that they feel blocked by the misperception that empathy entails just “dumping” one's feelings on others at work, when in reality admitting vulnerability in relation to specific, mission-critical aspects of one's job should really be the primary focus. In turn, what is “mental sovereignty” in Stokes' work view? The term is meant to denote showing respect to everyone, regardless of rank, as part of creating a culture that highly values psychological safety. Finally, “super hero” enters the picture because, as a long-time executive coach, Stokes knows that within most if not all leaders lies a desire to be a difference-maker in ways that go beyond hitting the quarterly numbers alone. Within every leader, she believes, lurks a seven-year-old child eager to be a force for moral good as well as financial success for the enterprise overall. Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.

Born and raised in San Diego, Charles Snow held a variety of jobs early in life, including: paperboy, grocery store cashier, accounting clerk, chauffeur, and sports director at a private school; each of which taught him important lessons about how organizations worked and were managed. Chuck earned his PhD in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley, and spent his entire academic career as a professor and researcher at Penn State. While there, Chuck taught management subjects to MBA students and executives in more than 35 countries. In this episode, we focus on the core essay that Chuck and co-editor Oystein D. Fjelstad wrote for their book, “Actor-Oriented Organizing,” which is part of Cambridge University's Companions to Management series. In conversation, Chuck discusses three key qualities essential to flattening hierarchical bureaucracies so that teams of employees can respond to emerging customer needs with greater speed and spontaneity. First, there's a great (often unmet) value in openness to change and transparency. The second is a “commons” area, a space where team members feel they're on equal, shared ground. And third is having the resources – financial, digital, and political – to ensure their work leads to outcomes that are incorporated into the company's operational bloodstream. Underlying the entire approach that Chuck advocates for is seeking to act for the common good of all, embodying the “mutual sympathy” style that made Adam Smith not the just the “Father of Modern Economics,” but also a leading promoter of empathy before the term rose to prominence today.

Many leaders know exactly what to do or think then know, yet something still doesn't shift.    In this episode of Both Sides of the Coin, Catalina D. Flore, Accredited Fellow Coach, speaks with Rich Waterman, human performance coach and former senior trainer with Tony Robbins, and his client, Dr Chris Joseph, to explore where real transformation actually begins.    Together, they unpack the difference between outside-in coaching, focused on behaviour and strategy, and inside-out coaching, which works at the level of identity, state, and awareness.    This episode explores:  Why strategy or solving the problem often isn't enough How shifts in being and presence change performance The hidden bottlenecks high-performing leaders face How coaching can support bigger, more sustainable change   A reflective conversation for coaches, leaders, and anyone who senses that doing more isn't the answer.    Produced by the IAPCM — the International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring.    If there's a topic you'd like me to cover in future episodes of Both Sides of the Coin, I'd love to hear from you.

Phil Gilbert is best known for leading IBM's transformation as their General Manager of Design, a project that updated the work of 400,000 IBM employees across 180 countries. The transformation became the subject of a Harvard Business School case study, the documentary film The Loop, and feature articles in the New York Times and Fortune magazine. Phil was inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts' Hall of Fame in 2018, and being a native from there was named a Oklahoma Creativity Ambassador in 2019 for his achievements in the world of creative thinking and innovation. He is the author of Irresistible Change: A Blueprint for Earning Buy-In and Breakout Success. Wedding cakes. Birthday cakes. Cupcakes. Shit umbrellas. The baggage that comes with using the word “design” in the business world. You might get a more unique guest than Phil, but the odds would be heavily against you. With tenacity and street smarts, this guy whose start-up was purchased by IBM shares with us the unlikely story of how IBM's CEO Ginny Rometty got behind him, unleashing the creativity that had made his smallish business unit within the company a top performer. Into business unit after unit, as detailed here, Phil tells with verve the story of overcoming the sorry state that endless rounds of cost-cutting initiatives had landed a now bedraggled company. “Empathy is the hardest word you will ever learn,” Phil told colleagues, left and right, prodding them to move forward.

Susan MacKenty Brady is a leadership educator, executive coach, bestselling author, and the founding CEO of the Simmons University Institute for Inclusive Leadership. At Simmons she holds the Deloitte Elen Garbriel Chair for Women and Leadership and has advised executives at over 500 organizations worldwide. She is co-author of All the Difference: Six Leadership Actions to Bridge Perspectives, Strengthen Teams, and Create Value with Stuart D. Kilman and Lt. Gen (Ret) Leslie C. Smith. Uncomfortable stuff, organizational issues that have been “on my heart.” That is how Susan opens this interview, mentioning how everything from the evolving role of women on the job to five generations of employees to the advent of AI is roiling the business world as much as it's ever been turbulent and, frankly, agitated and anxious. From the call to Know Yourself to Ignite Togetherness and Commit to Action, this episode explores target actions where the biggest interpersonal sin is to dismiss the dignity of the world you're talking to just because they can pull rank or fail to apply empathy. Emotions “bring the weather,” Susan says, in a discussion that highlights her suggestion that certainty, inconsistency, reactivity, and (self) justification are the landmines that will get you –and others – blown up because curiosity as to what is happening to others and how they can be their best self has got lost in the mix.Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.

Craig Hatkoff has spent four decades at the intersection of innovation, culture-building, and institutional transformation. He pioneered commercial mortgage securitization at Chemical Bank, co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival alongside Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal after 9/11, and .in 2010 co-founded the Disruptor Awards with Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen and Irwin Kula. His latest initiative is Dragon Camp, which provides a methodology for using CGI (Collaborative General Intelligence) as a practice framework for creating a viable human-AI partnership. In this episode focused on unlocking the potential of AI in a humanist manner, the first order of business is to secure trustworthy information from AI. To that end, Craig discusses a four-stage model for verifying AI's output. The first element is to leverage output from multiple AI sources, rather than just one, in order to guard against what have been called “AI hallucinations” or “fabrications.” To do so, moves organizations beyond stage 1: single-source vulnerability. Stages 2 through 4 then ramp up from cross-checking via multiple AI models (stage 2), to human intervention to verify (stage 3), culminating in stage 4: where a panel of experts serves as a de facto jury. There is far more than just that 4-stage model, however, in this intriguing episode, as Craig traverses from a love of exploring the power of anomalies as a way to explore insights—to using AI as his “lawyer” in tackling Open AI in court. Building a truth economy that simultaneously allays people's fears about AI is the ultimate goal here.

You Are Stronger Than You ThinkAfter SEVEN YEARS of Raw & Unscripted… this remains one of the MOST powerful, emotional, inspiring, and talked-about episodes we've ever done.This conversation with Monica Kretschmer is raw humanity at its finest.We talk about:

Kristy Ellmer has spent her career leading large-scale transformations across industries, countries, and operating environments. In this conversation, she explains why most change efforts fail — not because of bad strategy, but because organizations underestimate the human side of execution. A central idea from the discussion is the imbalance between the "what" and the "how" of transformation. Leaders spend enormous energy defining strategy, targets, and operating levers, but far less time on the behaviors and systems required for adoption. As Ellmer explains, "transformations or change are failing… on the elements of the how. It's not because there was bad strategy." She argues that many executives rush from alignment into execution before the organization is ready. One of the most counterintuitive lessons from her work is the need to pause after agreement is reached: "You need to take… up to two months to get organized." Without the right operating structure, early momentum eventually stalls. The conversation also explores why momentum must be designed intentionally. Discussing transformation work at Aetna, Ellmer explains the importance of visible early wins and helping employees understand "what's in it for you." She emphasizes that leaders are "responsible for momentum," not just strategy. Another major theme is resistance to change. Early in her career, Ellmer believed that "everybody will just get on board because things are right." Experience taught her otherwise. Different groups respond to different incentives, fears, and motivations. Her advice: "Be curious" about why people resist rather than assuming they are unwilling to change. She also challenges traditional views of change management, arguing that communication plans and training sessions alone are insufficient. "There is real science now out there on how humans really change," she says, and organizations that ignore that science struggle to achieve lasting adoption. The discussion also covers: why long transformations create fatigue when organizations never create "endings" how senior leaders should think about AI adoption versus AI hype why most companies are integrating AI as a workflow tool rather than fully replacing human work what separates successful consulting partners from those who simply "tick boxes" why career growth often comes from "leaning into uncertainty" Throughout the episode, Ellmer returns to one principle: organizations execute change more effectively when they treat employees with the same intentionality they would apply to external customers. "It's your job to sell the change," she says — not simply announce it. Kristy Ellmer is a Managing Director and Senior Partner at BCG and a former Chief Transformation Officer, with decades of experience leading multiyear transformations inside global organizations.

Real transformation rarely starts with motivation or a perfect plan.   Sometimes it starts with showing up even when you believe it is not going to work.   Carol came into this journey at her lowest point, having given up on herself entirely.   What happened over the next few months was not just a physical change.   It was a complete rebuilding of who she believed she could be.   Her story is a reminder that belief does not always come first.   Sometimes it shows up because you kept going anyway.

On the Feast of the Ascension, Dr. Tom Curran anticipates the upcoming Novena to the Holy Spirit by pondering the question: Why have so many faithful Catholics never experienced real transformation? Tom differentiates information vs. insight and lists two important factors to deep, transformative change: coachability and docility.

Waking up on a hospital floor in December 2021, experiencing what medical professionals labeled as psychosis but what she understood as a profound energetic awakening, Dr. Tanya Lea realized that traditional talk therapy had fundamental limitations. This pivotal moment revealed that true healing requires more than mindset mastery—it demands a deep integration of body intelligence and emotional awareness. Her core insight is revolutionary yet simple: the body does not lie, and learning to listen to its messages is fundamental to healing. What distinguishes Dr. Tanya as a healer is her profound understanding that healing is deeply personal and cannot be standardized. She recognizes that each person carries unique patterns formed in childhood, unique traumas, and unique energetic signatures that require individualized approaches. Rather than applying the same methodology to everyone, she uses bioenergetic scanning and intuitive assessment to determine which healing modality will serve each person best—whether that's body code, frequency medicine, Reiki, or breathwork. Her personal experiences have all shaped her compassionate and nuanced understanding of human struggle. She has learned that the distinction between counseling and healing is crucial: counseling operates from textbook knowledge, while healing flows from the heart and requires genuine coherence between practitioner and client. Healing and personal growth shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford high-ticket programs. Dr. Tanya Lea has created the AWARE Community as an accessible, guided space designed for people who want real support without financial strain. Whether you're a high achiever struggling with delegation and perfectionism, someone carrying unprocessed trauma, or simply ready to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you, the AWARE Community offers the tools, guidance, and connection you need. To begin your journey of listening to your body's wisdom and joining a community committed to conscious awareness and authentic healing, visit www.consciouslyaware.com and explore how the AWARE Community can support your transformation.

In this powerful episode of Rooted in Christ, Eric sits down with Darryll Rice to unpack a testimony that's raw, real, and deeply transformative.Darryll shares his journey from experiencing church hurt and walking away from faith, to navigating a lifestyle of partying, music, and chasing success—including a potential record deal—before ultimately encountering God in a life-changing way.

In this episode, I'm joined by Eric Zimmer for a grounded and honest conversation about what real change actually looks like and why lasting transformation usually doesn't happen all at once. Eric shares his powerful recovery story, what finally helped him create lasting change, and why the smallest daily choices often matter more than the big breakthrough moments we tend to chase. We talk about how to work with the parts of ourselves we'd rather avoid, what to do when we shut down, shrink, or feel overwhelmed, and why true growth comes from learning how to relate to ourselves differently over time. Eric also shares practical tools for changing the meaning we assign to situations, building wise habits, and taking small steps that add up to a meaningful life. In this episode, you'll learn:  Why overnight transformation is a myth, and what actually creates lasting change How small, consistent actions can build real momentum over time What it means to befriend the parts of yourself you want to avoid How awareness helps you catch patterns like shutting down, shrinking, or going blank in real time Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and stay connected to yourself in difficult moments Why having a simple phrase prepared can help when emotions take over How to rethink overwhelm and shift out of the feeling that life is happening to you A simple 3-question tool to help you challenge discouraging thoughts and choose a more supportive perspective Resources from this Episode: Eric's website Eric's podcast: The One You Feed Eric's book: How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Did you know you already have everything you need to live fully for God? Today on BOLD STEPS, Mark Jobe opens a powerful lesson from 2 Peter chapter 1.

What if the way we've been thinking about student behavior, engagement, and learning is missing a critical piece: the brain itself?   In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Riegel, a former educator and expert in brain science, to explore how understanding neuroscience can completely shift the way you lead your school, support your teachers, and respond to your students. We dive into her work around the "8 C's" and how school leaders can create the conditions for meaningful, lasting change.   Join us this week as we talk about how neuroscience impacts teaching, learning, and leadership. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of how the brain influences behavior, why traditional approaches to motivation and discipline often fall short, and how you can lead in a way that aligns with how people actually learn and change. This episode will help you think differently about your role as a leader and give you a new lens for supporting both students and staff in a more human-centered, effective way.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/432   Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/   Check out Dr. Lisa Riegel's books here:  https://www.amazon.com/NeuroWell-Applying-science-supportive-proactive/dp/B0F1N5DJQF https://www.amazon.com/Aspirations-Operations-leaders-making-transformative/dp/B0GHF3P15G    

Is AI truly transforming insurance, or is it just the latest industry buzzword? In this episode of HFS Unfiltered, Saurabh Gupta, President at HFS Research, sat down with Prashant Hinge, Chief Information & Transformation Officer at MSIG USA, and Ian Maher, Research Fellow & Senior Advisor at HFS Research, to explore what it really takes to move AI from hype to measurable business value. From underwriting and claims to leadership alignment and talent fears, this candid conversation explores why most AI pilots never scale, and what separates the 5% that actually make it into production. They discuss:Why AI is just a tool, not a strategyThe gap between ambition and realityHow AI impacts insurance P&L, not just productivityThe real leadership challenge behind transformationWhy employee fear is an opportunity, not a barrierThe biggest mistake insurers make when scaling AIIf you're navigating AI in a highly regulated, legacy-heavy industry like insurance, this discussion is a must-watch.

Are you showing up for everyone else… but falling short when it comes to taking care of yourself? Do you feel stuck in a cycle of starting over, trying everything, and still not seeing lasting results? In today's episode, we sit down with Jackie, who shares how she lost over 50 pounds... but more importantly, how she rebuilt her confidence, energy, and identity as a leader. You'll hear the real turning points that helped her break free from overwhelm, stop chasing quick fixes, and finally create sustainable momentum.

In this episode, I sit down with Judy Giovangelo, a grief recovery specialist who has experienced unimaginable loss. After losing her son to suicide, followed by multiple family tragedies, Judy shares how she navigated overwhelming grief and discovered tools that truly helped her heal. This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice and dives into what actually moves people forward. We unpack the myths surrounding grief, including the idea that time alone heals and why staying busy can actually keep people stuck. Judy opens up about how even meaningful work, like starting a nonprofit, can sometimes act as a distraction from processing pain. Together, we explore the concept of short-term energy relieving behaviors, unresolved grief, and how unprocessed emotions can impact relationships, mental health, and even the body. If you've ever felt stuck in grief, overwhelmed by loss, or unsure how to move forward, this episode offers hope and clarity.

If you're a coach, this conversation speaks directly to the way you support your clients. Coaching skills matter, and the depth of those skills can dramatically influence the results we create.My early coaching experience was rooted in mindset work and learning how our thoughts influence our actions and shape our results. That framework was incredibly valuable, but over time my understanding of coaching—and my skills as a coach—continued to grow. When I started learning more about the nervous system, emotional processing, and what many would call a more holistic coaching approach to how real change happens, the way I work with my clients changed beyond anything I ever imagined.I invite you to consider what it means to continue developing your coaching skills—not just today or this year, but throughout your life. When you deepen your ability to support change in others, you also amplify your ability to create change within yourself.

What if transformation isn't meant to be pretty?In this episode, I sit down with executive coach and author Rachel Burr to discuss her bold, refreshingly honest new book, Butterfly Goo: The Down-and-Dirty Truth of Transformation. Instead of chasing the polished “glow-up,” Rachel challenges us to embrace the messy, uncomfortable middle, the “goo” stage, where real growth actually happens.With more than 20 years of experience guiding leaders and professionals, Rachel blends humor, personal stories, and practical exercises to help us navigate change with authenticity and courage. We talk about leadership, identity, breaking free from expectations, and why falling apart can sometimes be the first step to becoming something stronger.If you're in the middle of a transition, feeling stuck, or leading others through change, this conversation will remind you that the mess isn't failure, it's transformation in motion.Watch, listen, and don't forget to subscribe for more conversations that help you let fear bounce and step into your next chapter.Website: ⁠https://rachelmburr.com⁠Book: "ButterflyGoo: The Down and Dirty Truth of Transformation"https://rachelmburr.com/butterfly-goo-bookLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelmburrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rachel.m.burr.1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachel.m.burrwww.kimlenglingauthor.com#RachelBurr #ButterflyGoo #Transformation #PersonalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #AuthenticLeadership #ExecutiveCoaching #SelfHelpBooks #AuthorInterview #LetFearBounce #WomenInLeadership #GrowthMindset #PodcastEpisode #EmbraceTheMess
