Jay Morton wanted Air Troop when he joined the SAS.Instead, he was sent to Mountain Troop. It was the last posting he wanted and, at the time, he was gutted.Looking back, that unwanted decision became one of the defining moments of his life. Mountain Troop introduced Jay to climbing, exploration and adventure, eventually taking him towards Everest and a life in the mountains. What felt like the wrong direction turned out to be the one he needed.In this Founder Classic episode of Screw It Just DO It, I revisit my conversation with Jay about that sliding doors moment, the fear of unfulfilled potential, vulnerability and what happens when achievement stops giving you the answers you expected.Jay also shares what he would tell someone who feels directionless: listen to what you actually want, get outside your comfort zone, make a decision and give yourself enough time to see where it leads.His Screw It Just DO It moment comes down to something deceptively simple: stick to the decision. Stop obsessing over what you might have lost by choosing one path. Have some faith in what you want and crack on with it.Key Takeaways✦ Why getting Mountain Troop instead of Air Troop changed Jay's life✦ How an unwanted SAS posting led to his passion for mountains and exploration✦ Why vulnerability became harder for Jay than physical challenges✦ The danger of becoming directionless when you do not know what you want✦ Why leaving your hometown and experiencing different cultures can change your perspective✦ How sticking to a decision creates momentum✦ Why your plan does not need to be complicated to give you direction

Brands have spent millions building out customer experience platforms — so why does the experience so often fall apart at the exact moment it matters most?Agility isn't just about moving faster or scaling up. It's about staying recognizably yourself when the pressure is highest — so the experience still holds together when every system is under strain.Today we're going to talk about what happens when the experience you designed on paper collides with the reality of peak customer demand. Specifically, we'll cover:- The idea of "experience debt" — and why high-traffic moments are where the hidden fractures in a customer journey finally show up.- Turning digital intelligence into actual decisions, not just dashboards, so friction gets fixed at the root instead of patched at the surface.- Where AI should predict and flag a problem versus act on its own — and what has to change across teams to own the experience end to end.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jonathan Moran, Senior Manager, Horizontal Solutions Marketing at SAS.

Three men in three countries and plenty of rambling this week as Andrew, Eddie and Iain convene to discuss events at the Presidents Cup, where the USA won by their now habitual method of storming the singles. They look back on the French Open where Matt Fitzpatrick continued his impressive year and Eddie gives us an update on his injury, preparing for one of his favourite events of the year as the clock ticks on his season. Andrew then decides to tell a story of intrigue, oil money and the SAS - all wrapped up in a golf course where nobody but Henrik Stenson occasionally plays.

SAS has led data management for the federal government for over fifty years. We face a new technology that tightly integrates data and AI. Today, we sit down with Reggie Townsend to get his ideas on human involvement in AI and review a new report, the 2026 Data and AI Impact Report. AS's 2026 Data and AI Impact Report, based on IDC research, finds that trustworthy AI is strongly associated with better business results. Organizations with strong governance, data quality, auditability, and explainability practices were 15 times more likely to report strong AI ROI. Nearly all users—97.2%—override AI recommendations at least occasionally, with lack of explanation the leading reason. Trust also declines as AI becomes more autonomous. Only 17.5% of enterprises have data infrastructure mature enough for agentic AI. The study, covering 2,699 decision-makers across 28 countries, concludes that strong data foundations and trustworthy AI practices are essential for successfully scaling AI. During the interview, Townsend tempers this information with comments about a human component, typically called getting the human in the loop. He begins by noting that humans are part of the solution, then comments on federal involvement. Townsend thinks government involvement in evaluating AI capabilities may be warranted to protect citizens.

Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton is a writer, former soldier and SAS man, erstwhile equerry to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and former Personal Private Secretary to Princes William and Harry when they were young men in their twenties. In this wide-ranging conversation, Jamie tells Gyles about his childhood, spent in the marshes of East Suffolk, playing out until late with friends and dreaming of being a soldier when he grew up. He talks about his parents - his inspirational mother and depressive father. He talks about being plucked from the Irish Guards to work as equerry to the Queen Mother, and gives Gyles some touching and amusing stories about her and his time with her. He talks about the SAS and what defines them, and then he talks what he tried to do for Prince Wililam and Prince Harry to prepare them for public life. This is a fascinating conversation, full of insight, humanity and wisdom. Our heartfelt thanks to Jamie for sharing his energy and history with us. Jamie's novel, set in WWII, and called 'Beyond the Edge of Light', is available here and is highly recommended. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How did Concordia University students have conversations about church work while serving as Young Adult Representatives at this year's Higher Things conferences? Heidi McKeage (Concordia University, Chicago; Sophomore; Deaconess Program), Maximus Fritsche (Concordia University, Nebraska; Junior; Pre-Seminary) and Isabel Seifferlein (Concordia University, Nebraska; Sophomore; Lutheran Teacher Program) join Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about the church work programs they're in, the Concordia Universities they're attending, their individual journeys into these programs, who encouraged them to consider church work, campus life on their respective Concordias, their experiences at Higher Things over the summer, the conversations they had with youth who were considering church work, and why it's important to have these conversations with young people. Find Higher Things at higherthings.org. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation. To learn more about Set Apart to Serve, visit lcms.org/set-apart-to-serve. Have a topic you'd like to hear about on The Coffee Hour?

In our Consumer Finance Monitor podcast show being released today, our special guest John McNamara, Chief Growth Officer at Avtal (a fintech and software as a service (SAS) company that provides an AI-powered, white-labeled digital engagement platform to help third-party consumer debt collection agencies automate communication and process self-service payments) and a former CFPB senior official who played a significant role in developing Regulation F promulgated under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act explained that the debt collection industry needs to distinguish genuine AI applications from the marketing hype surrounding the technology. He also emphasized that the use of AI must be accompanied by careful attention to data governance, explainability, consumer protection, and human oversight. Our show is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, founder and former leader for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of our Consumer Financial Services Group. Key Topics Discussed: ·                 Where AI is being used in debt collection ·                 Consumer-facing AI presents greater risks ·                 AI can also improve consumer outcomes ·                 Data governance may be the most important issue ·                 The "black box" problem ·                 Hallucinations and the importance of a human in the loop ·                 Vendor management remains critical ·                 AI may become infrastructure rather than a separate technology The central lesson from McNamara's discussion is that responsible deployment should begin with the use case rather than the technology. Companies should ask what they are trying to accomplish, what data is actually necessary, what legal authority they have to use that data, whether the system's output can be understood and defended, and where human oversight is required. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

Flyselskabet SAS var på vej mod et rekordoverskud for 2026. Et overskud der lunede gevaldigt ovenpå nogle livstruende år, hvor det skandinaviske flyselskab gennemgik en rekonstruktion og har fået nye ejere. Men nu er rekordoverskuet pist forduftet. Bogstavelig talt brændt af. Hør hvorfor, hvor hårdt det rammer selskabet og om det kun gælder SAS. Gæst: Peter Schollert, journalist, Finans. Vært: Mads Ring.

Dedenie, koniec bezpodielového vlastníctva manželov, jednotné pravidlá pre pracovné zmluvy, zmeny v nájmoch. Najväčšia reforma súkromného práva za posledných 60 rokov. Viac ako 600 strán textu a takmer 2500 paragrafov. Nový občiansky zákonník z dielne ministra spravodlivosti Suska sa práve rieši v parlamente.Je v parlamente zhoda že Slovensko potrebuje nový Občiansky zákonník? Prečo má s návrhom ministra Suska SaS problém? Skutočne návrh SNS posilňuje postavenie prenajímateľov bytov na úkor ich nájomcov? A ako dopadne ďalšia trestná novela Smeru, ktorá oslabuje postavenie kajúcnikov? Prečo to má byť problém?A dokáže byť opozícia pri týchto návrhoch jednotná, zatiaľ čo si posiela štipľavé odkazy cez médiá? Prejde návrh Hlasu na referendum o odvolaní parlamentu? Braňo Závodský sa rozprával sa s podpredsedníčkou strany SaS, poslankyňou parlamente a ex ministerkou spravodlivosti Máriou Kolíkovou.

Every few years someone tells us banking is about to be disrupted. It never quite happens. So when Dharmesh Mistry and Lou Carlozo came on to talk about their new book, The Intelligent Ledger, I asked: Why is this time different?Dharmesh's take? Banking has adopted plenty of individual technologies, from mainframe to client-server, internet, mobile, cloud. None of them disrupted anything. But the iPhone didn't win by being a better phone. Nokia was building a better phone. Kodak was building a better camera. Garmin was building a better GPS. The iPhone was all of them at once, and the market reorganised around it in under five years.His claim is that banking now has its own version of that convergence — what he and Lou call the Quanvergence: open, accessible data; agentic AI; tokenisation; and quantum, arriving together rather than in sequence. Not the best AI bank. Not the best tokenised rails. All of it, in one place. So platform or pipe? And who will win?

Was the Special Air Service truly built solely by David Stirling and rogue, unmanageable mavericks?Think you know the full origin story of the Special Air Service? The popular myth paints the WWII SAS as a rogues' gallery of unmanageable, rule-breaking mavericks who single-handedly reshaped special warfare before quietly vanishing at the end of the conflict. But this narrative ignores the quiet leadership, sharp political intellect, and crucial post-war battle that actually preserved the regiment's legacy. Without one man operating behind the scenes in the corridors of power, the modern SAS simply would not exist today.In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill sits down with former British Army officer and author Lieutenant Colonel Tim Spicer OBE to debunk the romanticized myth of Special Forces and restore a crucial figure to his rightful place in history. Together, they explore the extraordinary life of Brian Franks DSO MC—hotel manager turned Special Forces commander—who not only led operations behind enemy lines during Operation Loyton but personally brought Nazi war criminals to justice and spearheaded the campaign to rebuild the SAS from post-war disbandment.Guest Details & Book ReferralsGuest: Lieutenant Colonel Tim Spicer OBEFeatured Book: An Axe and Four Balloons: The Biography of Brian Franks DSO MC, The Man Who Saved the SAS by Tim Spicer.

How do a pastor, deaconess, and principal work together for faith formation and encouraging future church workers? The Rev. Dr. Matthew Durance (Pastor, Zion Lutheran Church and School, Harbor Beach, MI), Deaconess Rachel Bulgrien (Zion Lutheran Church and School, Harbor Beach, MI), and Julie Metzger (Principal, Zion Lutheran Church and School, Harbor Beach, MI) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about how each of them serves in their unique vocations, their individual journeys into church work, how they each have a hand in faith formation of children and adults at Zion, how forming our children in the faith is also key to forming them toward full-time church work, and how the congregation is involved in robust faith formation. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1.

According to LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report, 49% of L&D professionals say their executives are concerned that employees don’t have the right skills to execute their business strategy. And in busy, fast-paced industries, that gap is becoming a real problem. Because if the product, market, and go-to-market motion are all evolving at once, organizations are left asking the same question: what does it actually look like to build an enablement and a go-to-market model that can keep up and build those skills as they’re needed? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Julia Townsend, Go-to-Market Enablement and Business Development Leader at DataRobot. Julia, thank you so much for joining us today. I really appreciate the time. Super excited to hear about the work you’re doing in this arena today. Before we jump in, though, I’d love if you could tell us about yourself, your background, and your role. Julia Townsend: Yeah, great. Thanks for inviting me, and Riley, really appreciate it, and excited to share more about what I do at DataRobot. So yes, I lead the go-to-market enablement and business development function at DataRobot, and if you’ve not heard of us, we are the only end-to-end agent workforce platform for secure, scalable, and production-grade agents. We are based out of Boston, although I am based in the UK, so we do have a global workforce. So when it comes to enablement, I own it globally. Plus, as I said, I also have the business development piece. Pretty interesting role that is fairly unusual within the enablement space. But day-to-day, what that means is a few things. So I run our enablement team, so within that, I have a BDR and sales revenue enablement specialist, I have a go-to-market readiness specialist, and I also have a technical enablement data scientist, which is brilliant. And then I also have our BDR team who are based in Boston. So a little bit about me. So prior to making a career change to working in enablement in the AI ML space, I actually did start out as a BDR myself, then I was an enterprise seller in the SAS observability market for many years. I’ve been with DataRobot for five years. I’ve been through quite a few different distinct eras of where we’ve been. And so started out very early with very hiring-heavy model. We did a lot of in-person boot camps, then we had a bit of a restructure within our business, which is very typical within the AI space. It’s very much up and down, so we had to rebuild the enablement in a much more of a leaner type of practice. And now within the AI agentic era, where the products in the market are moving so, so, so quickly, any of the other early enablement models that we’ve had, it’s really, there’s been a lot of changes. RR: And that leads us very well to kind of the first topic we were gonna touch on, which is the fact that change is abundant and everywhere, especially when you’re working in the AI space. So as you’ve been navigating the enablement journey for the last five years at DataRobot, what has shifted about how you think about enabling sellers from when you first started to what it looks like now? JT: So I guess the biggest shift when I think back to those years is moving away from a very calendar-driven compliance type model towards something that’s much more embedded where the seller is and is very continuous. In previous older years, we were very much all about completion tracking, which in hindsight looks a lot like compliance monitoring. So there were lots of weekly reports on showing who had or hadn’t finished a learning module. We were very big on the stick piece back in the day. And then I guess after we had our organizational restructure a couple of years back, our hiring volume dropped and the business model changed, and the need for big recurring cohort in-person boot camps really evaporated. So that meant that it forced enablement to start pivoting towards much more of a leaner targeted delivery. Tracking forward to today, enablement definitely lives now inside the same sorts of tools and the cadence that sellers already have. We use Highspot, we have the content management and the learning management modules. So that means we’re able to offer very much bite-sized content. So it means that rather than the field having a separate training destination that they have to go into, what we’re providing is very much just part of the weekly workflow for them to be successful. So they’re not visiting stuff occasionally, they’re always in it. So it’s less about building a big curriculum and running it once a year, and it’s much more about treating enablement like a live product. RR: We kind of talked about what it means for enablement as a function to be working amidst this change, but like you alluded to, DataRobot is a company in a market that never really stops moving. So what does that kind of environment demand from you? JT: It is really about speed because we operate in a very competitive environment. There’s a ton of companies out there that are specialist agent builders, they’re there to sell you some sort of agent to help you in a day-to-day life. But then there’s also companies at our level who are also providing platforms, and it’s very, the language is very similar, so it’s very hard to stand out. So when you have an edge with your product development, those USPs, you really have to get the sales team on board with it and talking that language, that new messaging, that new positioning to customers as soon as it’s been created. So speed is very important. What that means for enablement and content is that it has to ship in days or weeks, not quarters. For example, two Sales Plays that we launched last quarter, our Dell seller-to-seller play and our customer expansion play, they both went from kickoff, initial conception, to the field launch on very, very tight dated project plans with weekly status checks, which meant we could launch them in a matter of weeks, whereas in the past, it would take us a lot longer to do that. RR: I’d love to drill down into an example that you mentioned as you were speaking to the speed piece, in a recent instance where that became a necessity. So the Dell partnership. You shipped a Sales Play for it, you enabled the team quickly on the messaging. What did that look like to build, and can you tell us a little bit more about the scenario around it? JT: So DataRobot, we have a fairly new strategic partnership with Dell and Nvidia. As this was a new business drive for us, we had to create a very specific Sales Play that was focused on our reps engaging with Dell reps. And I think this is a little bit different maybe to other enablement functions or what we also did in the past, where plays tend to more focus on the sales process, so things like objection handling play, first meeting play. Whereas this play had a pipeline generation target attached to it, and so the play centered on building early-stage pipeline with Dell sellers, and it was very, very specifically around that. The Dell engagement with our Sales Play ended up being quite a few different types of enablement requirements that are stacked on top of each other for different audiences, but all around roughly the same timeline. So for example, we first launched the Dell seller-to-seller play. This was equipping our own sellers to target and partner with the Dell sales team. We launched this towards the end of Q1. But then coupled with that, we then did some event-specific BDR training. Our BDRs were going to some of these Dell networking events with the sellers and meeting them, and they needed to have the right narrative. They needed to understand some of the vertical specific use cases that would get a Dell seller interest. So we did lots of live role play practice with them to make sure they were able to do that effectively. But yeah, I guess to summarize that piece, it wasn’t just one enablement deliverable, it was four or five different audiences that were wrapped into one Sales Play, but it was very much focused on a pipeline generation target. RR: What was the timing like from we have this partnership to now I need to enable the field to I have enabled the field? How does that differ from maybe a year ago what that would’ve looked like? JT: Yes. So I guess a year ago, it felt like there was more luxury in terms of time, because the Sales Plays then weren’t so much aligned to a specific pipeline target. So if your Sales Play is more around objection handling or first meeting deck, that’s important, but it doesn’t quite have the same impact on what the business needs in terms of a north star metric that will translate into real business revenue and deals closed. So that was one thing that was different. In terms of the timeline, probably took us about four weeks. We really put the heads down with the team. We had a daily project call to work on the content, test it, and ship it out. We ran it like we would a product launch, so using the same sorts of methodologies around that with reviewing, iterating, building, testing, those sorts of things. So that was also different. We had a very tight project management approach to it, which enablement led. Because this was tied to a real revenue metric, it really had the ear of the CRO. It was his prerogative to drive this. So that also was super helpful, was having executive sponsorship all over it, encouraging the reps to lean in, and being the voice of enablement, helping us amplify what we did to help them, and that’s all because the Sales Play was attached to a real revenue goal. RR: Four weeks, that’s a pretty crazy turnaround, I imagine. Like you said, very heads down. So we’ve established then speed is the name of the game. I’d love to talk about how that shows up in training, because it used to be that it was very common to have standalone platforms, training existed in a specific location that sellers had to go to, had to go find, and it was hard to build. But now a lot of organizations are moving away from that very complex approach. So why do you think, with this context of speed in mind, that traditional training tactics aren’t quite working, and why organizations are shifting away. JT: It’s a real shift in how our industry is around learning development. There still is a place for it. In the sort of company that I work in, that older model hasn’t really worked for us. So I would say that you need something that flexes quickly when the business changes, and in our industry, AI and machine learning, as I said before, it changes all the time. So having standalone systems that fragment that seller experience, in our own house, for example, over the years we’ve had MindTickle, Confluence for reference, InPartner for partner region enablement. Each of those systems required quite specialist knowledge to build training content, do the certification, manage all those different pieces to make sure they’re accurate and up to date. It’s very difficult to do that in a fast-changing industry with very specific knowledge. You need to be able to scale it across an enablement team so that anyone in the team can be competent enough to build and design something when it’s needed. And in small enablement teams, which we have, in companies like ourselves, we need to be able to pivot and have more ownership across that. So we needed something that could really simplify and scale out learning and training that was accessible to as many people as possible. And that, for us, has been Highspot, and that’s why we invested not only in the content management side, but the learning management side of things. So it’s very easy now for the team to work on pieces that we need them to. It’s very simple and easy to use. RR: As part of that shift to agility, you brought on Highspot’s training capabilities to democratize building, to make it easy for anyone to create a course, to create a Role Play, to do whatever they need to do to train up a team. So what has that switch made possible? How has it helped you? What have you seen? JT: It moved us from a couple of years ago, from a small number of very specialized roles in enablement, to now much more of a, I guess you’d call it, a hub-and-spoke model. So our– someone in the enablement team like myself or one of the other team members builds out the general master course and certification structure within Highspot. But our subject matter experts in product marketing or product, et cetera, they can update the content directly. So dropping in an updated video, some deck messaging content that needs to be done, it can all be done in real time, which we really appreciate. It’s also shortened the time between deciding on the content and publishing it. So reviews, edits, uploading it to Highspot can all happen much more quickly, sometimes just in one conversation over Slack, which again means we can move a lot faster. The other bit is the easy governance piece, which is really important. So rather than having learning spread across lots of different platforms, now we have it in one platform. So the Highspot analytics piece around governance means that we can track zombie content on a rolling basis. In fact, we’re halfway through now another content cleanup and governance pass. So it means it’s easier for us to do that as well. The other area is the AI coaching side. That’s opened up a lot more for us on learning too. So you can author and do coaching in the same tool, which is brilliant. So we’ve got AI Role Play. All of that feedback can sit in the same space as the content itself. So building, practicing, certifying, all of those things, testing can all happen in one place. RR: I think that’s our goal, right. Everything is centralized. You can go from one part of the learning process to the next within a click. And if you feel like you need to go back, you can easily do so. Curious what kind of use cases you’ve been using Role Play and the AI coaching elements for? JT: Well, we had a lot of fun with AI Role Play. We launched it at sales kickoff back in February, and we just did a silly Role Play to begin. We did something like sell me the cowboy boots because we were in Nashville. But I think one of the projects, more serious projects, is around our new discovery deck, which is designed to support better qualification at early-stage pipeline generation. As part of this program in Q3, we’re also launching a new revised sales process and the structure of how we’re doing it. We do a mix of live and self-paced learning, so we’ll launch it live, through our Friday session. Then the seller is then encouraged to move to the self-paced piece, and we’re going for a multi-stage learning experience to ensure that reps don’t just know the pitch. So stage one is know it, then we go to stage two, which is see it in action. So we provide a gold-standard recording for reps to follow, to aim for a North Star. Then stage three is to do it, which is more the hands-on side of things. So reps need to submit recorded pitches. They need to participate in the interactive AI Role Play that we set up for them. All of that is shipped within the Highspot Sales Play kit, so the rep has one place to go before and after the discovery call. RR: One of the other priorities I know we talked about in terms of training was onboarding. So knowing that was an early test of this new way of training, how has that changed for you? JT: Yeah, for sure. So past was very much in-person, multi-day boot camp model, and that was paired with these compliance, weekly completion checks. But then when hiring started slowing down, that model didn’t work for us anymore, so we replaced it early on with much more of a self-paced approach. So now it’s self-paced, but it’s very tightly tracked through a four-week ramp-in period. So you have a day-by-day, week-one-to-four tasks, basically things like email signature, tool setup, but then coupled with things such as the welcome video from our CRO, company go-to-market strategy content type things, and then the sales-based specific courses that we want them to do. They get paired with a sales mentor as well as an enablement partner. Basically, we provide– although it is self-paced, we still bring that personal coaching, but it’s all driven through Highspot. All of the pieces for the onboarding are driven through there. RR: Now, we’ve heard a little bit about how training is structured, and we’ve talked a little bit about how you don’t want to be compliance testing of did you do it. But once training is built and launched, you do still have to get folks using it, getting folks practicing, and getting them internalizing the learning that you’re providing, and that’s hard. So how are you thinking about what AI makes possible on that side of the training function? JT: So the first thing that comes to mind is the AI Role Play feature. You know what it’s like. Reps, myself included, it’s horrible doing Role Plays with managers and peers because of that social pressure aspect. There is space for it at sales kickoff and fun experiences. But if you’re going to continuously practice, you wanna do that in a safe space. The AI Role Play really is the way to go. In the past, it would’ve been a heavy lift for enablement, so we would’ve had to have listened to everybody’s recordings, manually graded them, sent feedback continuously, which is hard with a small team. With AI Role Play and features like that, it means it’s a lot quicker, and it’s easier now to have a baseline to track things like pace, objection handling, how someone’s told a customer’s story, have they hit on the key points of the messaging we want them to do? So it’s a lot easier now. With the AI Role Play feature, sellers get that automated feedback. They get given that immediately right after they practice. They don’t have to wait days for enablement to listen or their manager to then review it. It’s all there. So I’d say that’s a really big change to how coaching happens. So reps still get in-person coaching with their sales lead or with an enablement person, but it’s not the same as having you practice something and then immediately getting the feedback back. That’s been a good change. Some of the team attended a, I think it was a roundtable workshop with Highspot recently around skills in AI Role Play, and that really helped us narrow what the skills should be. Before we were thinking about up to nine skills to build into the AI Role Play. But after some coaching, we were told that up to three would be best, so we’ve rethought how we do that. So now it’s just a lot easier for enablement and sales leaders to offer coaching because it’s done, some of it is done through the AI Role Play, and it means it’s continuous rather than just happening again once a quarter. RR: Have you seen any change in either the way that sellers engage with training because they have this lower stakes opportunity to try, try again, fail, try again, succeed? And has it, on the enablement side, saved you time? Curious, both sides of the equation, how has that worked out for you? JT: It saved the enablement team a ton of time. As I said, having to go through lots of reps’ recordings and manually listen to them, pause it, check the rubric, come back, what did they say, go back again. It’s very time-consuming to do, and it adds a lot of pressure to the enablement team and also to the sales leaders as well. They’ve got a large sales team. And enablement is pushing out this stuff they need to be certified in. It makes it quite difficult. So there’s been a big time saving there for sales leaders, but also for enablement in how we assess reps. Then also having that standard baseline. So before, you’re coming at it from your own biases in how you feel that day and how you listen to someone’s submission, whereas with the AI piece, it doesn’t work like that. So it’s always assessing at the same baseline, which is great. In terms of reps engaging with training in general, it’s definitely helped, for sure. As I said, we offer bite-sized training that is self-paced, and reps can use that just in time when they have the requirement for that piece of training, which is helpful. The AI Role Play just extends that further. It gives them just the chance to practice things before they go into the wild. RR: On a broader scale, you’ve made this shift, you’ve created these programs that fit every angle of training and skill development into one place, and you’ve rolled it out in a number of different programs. What sort of impact have you seen from this shift in how you approach training, all up? JT: So definitely the confidence one. The go-to-market team sentiment is trending upwards, which is great. So our recent company-wide EFPS in June was our highest to date, and it had a four-point jump month over month, which is good. And specifically, a driver was called out as learning development skills related to generative AI, so that’s a great one. And then secondly, as I mentioned before, we talked about that Dell Sales Play. So enablement were held to a pipeline creation bar, not just training delivered there. And as we look back and start looking at the quarterly business reviews, we can see, working with the rev ops team, that we’re definitely hitting, overachieving, the pipeline goal set by our CRO, which is great. So yeah, two really good signals. RR: I imagine that must have felt quite nice to look at the results of that survey and see the work that you’re doing called out as a key lever for improving confidence. So bravo to that. Hearing that you have these two measurable signals, you’re seeing that it’s working. The shift has been positive for both your team saving time and the sales team having a lower stakes way of engaging before, as you said, they go out into the wild. For anyone who’s looking at their training setup and is going, “I wonder if there’s a different way I can do it,” what would you want them to hear? JT: Avoid acting like an academic institution, and start acting like an agile product team. So we know that sellers don’t really want 45-minute courses. I don’t want that. They want to have the minimum viable capability just in time required to find and win their next deal. That’s really important. So what we’ve learnt, and industry best practice as the trends are starting to emerge, is to embed that learning directly into their workflow. So meet the sellers where they are. Empower the enablement team to build quickly, give them the tools to do that, the confidence, the buy-in, and then measure the success through things like conversation quality, pipeline creation conversion. That’s how you’ll see the results. RR: Julia, thank you for taking the time to chat with us today. This was wonderful. I think for anybody who’s looking to modernize their training or just reimagine, this will be super, super valuable. To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win/Win Podcast.

The SAS has often faced threats from the corridors of power. Since its inception in the North African desert during the Second World War, senior officers and civil servants have treated The Regiment with at the very least doubt, and at worst, as was seen after the end of the war, downright hostility when it was disbanded in November 1945. Enter one man, Brian Franks, an SAS man but one who was comfortable in the bar at White's club in St. James' schmoozing those sceptics. He had had an extraordinary war, and his biographer, Tim Spicer, joins to discuss him and to speculate as to whether the SAS, again under threat, has people like Franks in the corridors of power today?

During the Cold War, British soldiers fought a Provisional IRA insurgency in Northern Ireland. Probably the toughest location was South Armagh, where they had to travel by helicopter, while watchtowers scanned the fields, and an IRA sniper could strike without warning. In this episode, journalist and Royal Navy officer Toby Harnden takes us inside his book “Bandit Country”, which describes the borderland of South Armagh where the Provisional IRA fought one of its most formidable campaigns. Harnden recalls arriving during the uneasy peace of 1996, meeting IRA members and security personnel, and learning how family ties, local knowledge and the Irish border made the South Armagh Brigade unusually effective. We explore its sniper teams, homemade mortars, intelligence networks, the massive London & Manchester attacks, Libyan weapons and attempts to bring down British helicopters. Harnden also examines the Kingsmill massacre, the devastating 1979 Warrenpoint ambush, alleged Garda collusion, and the British Army's deployment of the SAS. Finally, he reveals the brigade's scepticism towards the Good Friday Agreement—and asks whether the old republican flame still burns beneath South Armagh's landscape today.

How do Church Work Scholarships make a difference for church work students? The Rev. Patrick Gumz (Mission Executive, Central Illinois District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod), Nicholas Seibert (Vicar at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Springfield, IL) and Oliver Braaten (Freshman, Concordia University, Nebraska) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about Pastor Gumz's story of church work formation, what Christian formation has looked like for all three of them, their individual stories of considering church work vocations, how congregations are a part of the culture helping to form church workers, how church work scholarships are important for students in their formation journey, and why it is important for LCMS Districts to support church worker formation. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

In this episode of The Big Picture, host Patrick Bishop is joined by former soldier, military entrepreneur, and author Tim Spicer. Patrick and Tim discuss Tim's latest book, An Axe and Four Balloons, which tells the story of Brian Franks—the former Etonian and hotel manager who became a wartime commando and is credited with saving the SAS from extinction after the Second World War. Tim explores Franks's military career, from his early days in the Middlesex Yeomanry and commando raids in the desert, to leading 2 SAS during the perilous Operation Loyton in the Vosges Mountains and his post-war hunt for German war criminals. The discussion broadens into big-picture concepts of military philosophy and modern society. Tim reflects on the nature of leadership and shares his definition of courage as "the management of fear." They also examine the qualities of historical mavericks, whether modern political leadership is lacking, and whether the youth of today would step up to defend their country if called upon.Join the Conversation: If you have a question about the war in Ukraine or any of the conflicts we cover, email us at podbattleground@gmail.comFollow us on:X - @PodBattlegroundInstagram - podbattlegroundProducer: James HodgsonA Goalhanger Podcast Hosted on Acast.

On today's Zero Limits Podcast Matt Morris chats with Shaun Preston former 3rd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment and succesful businessman.Enlisting in the Australian Army in 2005, he completed his infantry training before being posted to Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR). He went on to deploy to Baghdad, Iraq, with SECDET X, supporting the Australian mission in a complex and dangerous environment, before later deploying to Timor-Leste following the 2008 assassination attempts on the country's leadership. After leaving the Army, he struggled with the transition back into civilian life and bounced between different jobs before finding his way into the pest-control industry. After gaining experience in the trade, he took the gamble of starting his own company, which he spent the next 12 years building into a highly successful business before eventually selling it to global pest-control company.Send us a text however note we cannot reply through these means.

Some say Alexander was the greatest general of all time, whilst others say he was a genocidal tyrant. In his lifetime conquered more than most empires manage in hundreds of years. He is, though an enigma. Impossible to pin down, which is why he is so endlessly fascinating to historians since antiquity. Is he a god, a king, a man or a boy? Joining today is Edmund Richardson, author of a new book about the Macedonian ruler, as we discuss key points of his life, milestones that perhaps help us understand the kind of man he was. Coming up, a bonus on a new AI movie on YT which asks the question, what if Alexander's son survived and ruled in his place? It's a bit of fun so do look out for that.

This week we're chatting to one of the UK's best-selling thriller writers. Scott Mariani has published 30 novels in the 'Ben Hope series', a few more in his 'Will Bowman historical thriller adventures', and some chilling books about vampires. He writes in his sprawl of land hidden in the Welsh countryside, almost secluded with his stories. Ben Hope is an ex-SAS soldier turned reluctant hero, who finds himself in thrilling chases across the world, all centred around an historic mystery waiting to be solved. His debut, 'The Alchemist's Secret', was a number 1 bestseller for 6 weeks, although it took quite a strange route to success. Following it up with 29 more Hope novels, Scott finally retired the character... only to be drawn back to his hero a few years later. He has announced a new one, 'The Jericho Road', due to be released in 2027.We discuss why his routine is built around strict discipline, putting the words together much like a builder will make a house with bricks. Also you can hear about how he's learned what a reader wants, whether he's figured out any plotting tricks, and how he researches his globe-trotting adventures without the internet.Get a copy of the debut novel here - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineThis week's episode is sponsored by Faber Academy's 'Writing a Novel' course, which is back.

Send us Fan MailThis is a "Flashback" episode of an episode that originally aired in September of 2024.You most likely have seen the word "adaptogen" on some type of herbal product or beverage in the past few years.  They are incredible herbs with an intelligence that helps our bodies adapt to stress.The thing is, they are so amazing that many companies use this word to market products that don't actually have adaptogens in them.In this informative episode I introduce listeners to adaptogens, a fascinating class of herbs celebrated for their ability to enhance the body's resilience to stress.  And hopefully give some insight into what an adaptogen truly is so that you can be more savvy when buying products with these incredible herbs.The conversation starts with the rich history of adaptogens, from their ancient roots in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine to their discovery in the West during extensive USSR research. Key adaptogens such as ashwagandha, American ginseng, and Rhodiola are highlighted, alongside the criteria that make an herb an adaptogen: non-toxic, non-specific stress response, normalizing effect, and impact on the HPA axis and SAS (sympathoadrenal system). The episode also provides practical advice on choosing reliable adaptogenic products and emphasizes the importance of integrating herbs with a balanced lifestyle. Listeners are encouraged to explore adaptogens further and consider their potential benefits alongside lifestyle changes.In this episode:Introduction to AdaptogensHistory and Discovery of AdaptogensDefining AdaptogensPopular Adaptogens and Their BenefitsUsing Adaptogens WiselyRelated Episodes:Episode 55 - Nervous System Herb AlliesEpisode 53 - The Window of ResilienceReferences: Winston, D., & Maimes, S.
