Hundreds of thousands of federal employees have left their jobs this year, due to the Trump administration's efforts. Now, the Office of Personnel Management is telling agencies to start rethinking their senior executive staffing too. The request comes as OPM introduces a number of other changes for federal managers. Here with the latest, Federal News Network's Drew Friedman.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Key Topics Covered:1. Why Executives Choose Portfolio CareersMany senior leaders leave corporate jobs for more control, flexibility, and purpose.Becoming a non-executive director (NED) lets them advise several businesses, stay intellectually engaged, and build multiple income streams.2. What a Non-Executive Director Actually DoesNEDs guide and support business owners, using their experience and networks to help smaller companies grow.Typical NEDs are former CEOs, directors, or C-suite leaders who want to keep working, but on their own terms.3. Adrian's Journey: From Corporate to EntrepreneurAdrian left a high-level tech role to help executives move into business ownership.He built and acquired several companies, faced personal and business setbacks, and ultimately found new direction after a major life shift.4. Overcoming Identity and Timing ChallengesLeaving a big job can trigger a loss of identity; Adrian stresses the importance of recognising your own value and skills.Timing your transition is key—look for inflection points like changes at work, financial readiness, or life events.5. How to Start Your Own Portfolio CareerAdrian recommends a three-phase roadmap:Clarify your value and how you're seen (positioning)Tap into your existing network for opportunitiesBuild new connections aligned with your goalsLinkedIn is powerful, but most executives underuse it—focus on connecting, not selling.6. The Wealth-Building BenefitsNED roles create time for other wealth-building activities, like property or investing.Some coaches and NEDs eventually take equity stakes in businesses, building long-term wealth and influence. Actionable Takeaways:Consider a portfolio career if you want more freedom, less risk, and a chance to use your experience in new ways.Prepare for the identity shift and plan your timing and finances.Use your network and be proactive—opportunities often come from people you already know.Don't be afraid to reach out for guidance or support. Resources:Leverage Your Corporate Experience to Secure Paid SME Board RolesDownload the Pension and Inheritance Tax GuideWealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and community Connect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms. Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:  Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

Federal executives may soon see even more changes coming from the Trump administration. The Office of Personnel Management is now encouraging agencies to consider possible reassignments of Senior Executive Service members. In a new memo, OPM argues that the SES has not served as a “mobile corps” of managers, and members are instead being “entrenched” at agencies. The new memo comes after OPM also advised agencies to consider lowering their staffing allocations for senior-level positions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On HR Insights, we strive to bring our listeners conversations they are asking for. Avid listeners of the show may remember that this summer, we have been running our HR Resilience Report in collaboration with The Resilience Institute. Initial results highlighted a recurring theme of mindful leadership. As HR continues to take on more responsibility in an ever-changing world of work, engaging with a leadership coach can provide invaluable support and shift your perspective to be more mindful during times of change.In this episode, our CEO and Host of the show, Stuart Elliott, is joined by Nina Donovan, Head of UK and Europe at OSC Leadership Development. Nina is an experienced executive coach who works with senior leaders and facilitates leadership teams through complex periods of change.Together, Stuart and Nina explore how high-stakes environments shape leadership behaviours, and the practical frameworks leaders can use when navigating career shifts. They discuss the reality of “loneliness at the top,” with senior executives often feeling pressure to have all the answers and why building the right support system is so important. Nina also shares her perspective on what to look for when beginning a coaching relationship, how to find the right coach, and how to approach coaching as a long-term journey rather than a quick fix.The conversation then turns to leading through uncertainty and how to pace change effectively, communicate with transparency, and maintain trust without creating unnecessary anxiety. Nina explains how she draws on both psychodynamic thinking and neuroscience to help leaders work with emotions rather than against them. The discussion concludes with a look at the growing role of AI in coaching, what it can offer today, and what it might mean for the future of leadership development.If you'd like to continue the conversation or explore coaching opportunities with Nina, you can connect with her on LinkedIn or reach her directly at nina.donovan@globalosc.com.Key Timestamps:01:30 – An introduction to Nina05:05 – Navigating change through a career shift08:22 – Loneliness at the top 14:38 – Different leadership styles 15:42 – Beginning a relationship with executive coaching18:06 – Common blind spots seen with Senior Executives 21:19 – Executive coaching is not a quick fix26.14 – Balancing communication during times of uncertainty 29:40 – AI in executive coaching30:31 – Using neuroscience to complement change38:45 – Finding an Executive CoachYou can listen to and download HR Insights from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and other popular podcast apps.

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you'll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Jeanne Taylor Hecht, Chief Executive Officer and Chairwoman at Lexitas. Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Jeanne, covering: How Jeanne's various roles have equipped her to become a more rounded CEO and board member. How a stint in Asia led Jeanne to develop her strategy playbook, including the importance of the client's voice. Jeanne's journey, taking on eight different boards and becoming a serial investor and advisor... and how that did not happen by accident. She said that having a strong relationship with a PE firm and missing the hands-on, day-to-day role of being a CEO led her back to the hot seat. Understanding why has being a specialist ophthalmology CRO given Lexitas traction with small to medium biotechs, and what is the future in store for CROS? Jeanne's industry career spanned over twenty-five years as a Board member and Chief Executive Officer of multiple companies, including CEO at Ora and Senior Executive at Median Technologies, IQVIA, Decision Biomarkers, and the UNC Oncology Protocol Office. Jeanne also launched and expanded a Life Sciences consulting practice that supported companies with sales, marketing, and market growth strategies and advisory and board work. She is primarily motivated by helping to bring relief to patients.  Jeanne is an active Advisory Board Member for the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler's Business School and Lecturer at the business school.

From busting drug lords to leading the Pentagon task force charged with bringing the 9/11 terrorists to justice, Mark Fallon has spent his career on the front lines of U.S. national security. My first guest is one of the most fascinating people I've interviewed. Former NCIS Special Agent in Charge Mark Fallon is a national security consultant, scholar, and expert in counterintelligence and counterterrorism who's been involved in some of the most significant terrorism investigations in U.S. history. Mark served more than thirty years in government—twenty-seven with the NCIS and two as a Senior Executive within the Department of Homeland Security. He received numerous awards and medals for his service, including the Department of Defense Counterintelligence Award for Outstanding Achievement and the U.S. Secret Service Director Honors Award. As an NCIS Special Agent, Mark operated undercover in some of the most dangerous places in the world—from infiltrating drug rings in Thailand to capturing poachers in Kenya. He takes us inside his undercover operations and describes his strategy for a successful mission. We talked about the interview and interrogation techniques that actually work (hint: they involve rapport and, occasionally, French fries), and the moment his wife discovered details of an undercover operation. In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Mark was appointed Deputy Commander and Special Agent in Charge of the Pentagon task force, responsible for investigating terrorists for possible trials before military commissions. His critically acclaimed book, Unjustifiable Means: The Inside Story of How the CIA, Pentagon, and US Government Conspired to Torture (Regan Arts, 2017) offers a gripping account of the leadership challenges he faced while trying to bring terrorists to justice without compromising his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Mark opens up about what it takes to lead under pressure, the duty to disobey an unlawful order, and why interrogators make the best first dates He shares leadership lessons that extend far beyond national security—tools for navigating crisis, conflict, and high-stakes decisions in any field. Today, as founder of ClubFed, Mark serves as an international security consultant and continues his mission for improving the practice of interviews and interrogations. Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Bill Dedman calls Mark Fallon "the Serpico in the war on terror," and high-ranking officials call him an American hero who's made the world safer. Listen to the podcast—and you'll understand why.

We talked about the interview and interrogation techniques that actually work (hint: they involve rapport and, occasionally, French fries), and the moment his wife discovered details of an undercover operation. In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Mark was appointed Deputy Commander and Special Agent in Charge of the Pentagon task force, responsible for investigating terrorists for possible trials before military commissions. His critically acclaimed book, Unjustifiable Means: The Inside Story of How the CIA, Pentagon, and US Government Conspired to Torture (Regan Arts, 2017) offers a gripping account of the leadership challenges he faced while trying to bring terrorists to justice without compromising his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Mark opens up about what it takes to lead under pressure, the duty to disobey an unlawful order, and why interrogators make the best first dates He shares leadership lessons that extend far beyond national security—tools for navigating crisis, conflict, and high-stakes decisions in any field. Today, as founder of ClubFed, Mark serves as an international security consultant and continues his mission for improving the practice of interviews and interrogations. Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Bill Dedman calls Mark Fallon "the Serpico in the war on terror," and high-ranking officials call him an American hero who's made the world safer. Listen to the podcast—and you'll understand why.

“The only easy day was yesterday.” In this episode, Nick speaks with David W. Brown, a former Navy SEAL and author. David shares his journey from being the smallest kid in school to overcoming adversity and becoming a Navy SEAL. What to listen for: Opportunities arise when you least expect them. Overcoming adversity builds character and resilience. Success is a personal definition, not a societal one. The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and essential. Facing fears reveals true strength and capability. Not quitting is important, but succeeding is the goal. Your past experiences shape your future potential. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Mindset is crucial in overcoming life's obstacles. Every evolution in life will eventually end, leading to new challenges. “Quitting football taught me a big lesson in my life about quitting” Walking away from something can sometimes teach you more than sticking it out. One bad choice doesn't define you; it's how you respond that matters. The moment you realize you don't like how quitting feels, you start making different choices. Sometimes, a mistake lights a fire in you to never make it again. Feeling ashamed of quitting led to a mindset shift that made future challenges non-negotiable. “When you get an opportunity, you take it” If you hesitate too long, the moment might pass you by. Even if you don't feel ready, stepping up is how you grow. You can't always predict the outcome, but taking the leap is often worth it. You don't need to have it all figured out—just start. The right opportunity can change everything, but only if you take it. About David Brown David was always the smallest person in school, yet standing just 5'3" tall and weighing 110 pounds, he became a Navy SEAL. After earning his bachelor's degree, he went on to become an NCIS, EPA, and Department of Interior special agent. Even though he was picked on and bullied in elementary school and was told he could not do certain things because of his size, he overcame impossible odds to be professionally successful and retire at the top of the government ranks as a Senior Executive. https://www.udtdave.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/udtdave/ https://instagram.com/@udtdave Resources: Interested in starting your own podcast or need help with one you already have?
