Podcasts about shared vision

*How do you lead change when you don't know where you are going (yet)? * Today I sit down with Brian Miller, a change management expert from Coach Approach Ministries, to talk about adaptive change. Adaptive change is when you know something needs to change, but you don't yet know what the solution is. It's not just fixing a broken pipe—it's realizing the whole plumbing system might need to be rethought. It's the kind of change that requires people to shift their values, beliefs, and behaviors, not just learn a new skill. And that's why it's hard—because it's not just about doing something different, it's about becoming someone different. When you lead this kind of change, the danger isn't just that people leave—it's that they check out. So Brian focuses on the following things: keep the pace people can handle, invite them into shaping the vision, really listen to the voices of concern, and anchor the change in habits and identity. That way, people don't just stick around—they stay engaged in the mission.

Dennis and Lindsey talk through the continuing fallout of the Salesloft Drift incident (2:05) in light of the disclosure of several new companies that are involved, including Cloudflare, which published an excellent post-mortem on the intrusion.

Do you feel like your spouse won't change—no matter what you try?Have you been tolerating non-improvement and calling it “keeping the peace”?In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning share a practical blueprint for creating real change in marriage—without nagging, power struggles, or giving ultimatums. You'll learn how to earn influence (instead of demanding it), build psychological safety so growth is possible, and use pattern interrupts to break the same old fights.They unpack why couples stall out—no shared vision, unresolved wounds, holes in the relationship “bucket,” and mixed signals that make one spouse armor up. You'll get specific tools to create safety, raise standards, and stop tolerating non-improvement—so your marriage actually gets better month by month.What we cover:- Why “it's okay to be wounded—but not to stay wounded.”- How to earn your spouse's attention & respect (and keep it).- Pattern interrupts that disarm conflict and reset connection.- The Bucket Test: plug the leaks killing motivation & desire.- Strategic praise (what to amplify so it multiplies).- The Shared Vision your marriage needs to stay motivated.- When one spouse levels up—and what to do if the other resists.- Tough talks done right: letters, timing, tone, and follow-through.Bottom line: In life, you get what you tolerate. Don't accept non-improvement. Use these tools to create safety, raise the standard, and build a marriage where both partners keep growing.

What separates an inspiring leader from a forgettable one? What transforms a difficult conversation into a collaborative breakthrough? What pulls us out of the quagmire of problems and onto the path of possibilities? The answer lies in communicating with vision.In this episode, we explore why vision is the missing ingredient in so many of our professional and personal interactions. While our natural tendency (reinforced by media and social algorithms) pulls us toward focusing on problems, difficulties, and uncertainties, truly effective communication paints vivid pictures of shared futures that people can step into together.Drawing from research on high-performing teams and persuasion psychology, we reveal why shared goals create more powerful motivation than any other factor. We share practical examples from sports teams like Wrexham FC to corporate turnarounds to everyday scenarios at the coffee machine, demonstrating how vision and storytelling creates connection even in moments of conflict or disagreement.You'll learn specific techniques to elevate your communication through visionary language, including how to engage all senses, focus on the right number of goals (hint: the brain loves threes), and make your vision "sticky" through repetition. We also explore how to apply these principles not just at work but in personal relationships, transforming everything from family holiday planning to resolving disagreements.The joy of creating "a thing that wasn't a thing and is now a thing" is one of life's greatest pleasures. By mastering the art of communicating with vision, you'll not only inspire others but discover how to happen to the world rather than letting the world merely happen to you.

In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance. Gabes shares insights from their piece on the show, their organizing and healing work in the Global South, and the ways marine mammals and myth can inform our strategy.Whether or not you've seen the show, this conversation is about so much more than the galaxy far, far away—it's about our world and how we build toward collective liberation with nuance, integrity, and care.0:00 – Intro: What is Andor + Character Breakdown 5:20 – Meet Gabes Torres: Healer, Strategist, Rebel  9:42 – How Andor De-Romanticizes Revolution  14:20 – Disney, Propaganda & Revolutionary Storytelling  19:35 – The Banality of Evil in a Boardroom  25:00 – Real-World Parallels: Propaganda, Gaza, Gorman & Genocide  26:45 – Parenting, Powerlessness & Purpose  29:21 – Consciousness Building as Resistance  32:20 – Gabes on Luthen, Clea & Strategy in Movement  36:42 – Bix, Trauma & Knowing When to Step Back  40:28 – Organizing Through Burnout & Wavering Commitment  44:30 – Humananizing vs. Ruthless Sacrifice47:40 – Disposability Culture in Movements  49:10 – Disagreeing Is Not a Failure of Solidarity  52:00 – Addressing Conflict & Building in Organizing  56:20 –  Is there Shared Vision for Our Resistance?  1:00:23 – Activist Ecosystems, Movement Mentorship from Marine Mammals  1:07:30 – Upside Down Triangle: Rethinking Power  1:08:50 – Support Gabes & Psychosocial Care for Organizers  Connect with Gabes:https://gabestorres.com/https://www.instagram.com/gabestorres/Read her article: https://gabestorres.substack.com/p/andorSupport mental health care for organizers in the Global South https://gabestorres.com/support/Rep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast and leaving a rating or review

A quiet afternoon. Two young girls. And something that defied all logic. Stacy and her cousin Diane were simply playing with dolls when they saw it—long, dark hair floating in the doorway… with no body attached.

In this heartfelt farewell episode, founding host Elisha Chan officially passes the mic to Fair Trade LA's new Executive Director, Rebecca Dunn.

Rebecca shares her own powerful story—from Kolkata to Antwerpen to Ten Thousand Villages—and the path that brought her full circle back to Fair Trade LA. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at Elisha's next chapter in Haiti, where she's building a school from the ground up through her nonprofit, Impactful Missions.

In a phone call on Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the need for a peace agreement in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The leaders agreed that the war must end with a lasting ceasefire, emphasizing the human cost of the conflict. Trump and Putin also highlighted the potential for improved U.S.-Russia relations, suggesting that a successful resolution could lead to significant economic deals. However, the conversation also touched on broader regional issues like the Middle East and the threat of nuclear proliferation. While these discussions may seem promising, the long-standing tensions between Washington and Moscow tell a different story. Trump's past ties with Putin have raised concerns about the sincerity of this peace talk. Putin's rhetoric is often seen as a strategy to improve Russia's global standing while continuing aggressive actions against Ukraine. The question remains: Are these peace talks a genuine effort to resolve conflict or another tactical move by both leaders to shift the geopolitical landscape in their favor?

I'm back with Lesson 5 in my Coming Home to Yourself series, sharing what I've found to be the seven essential foundations for building a healthy, lasting, and loving relationship. I also talk about how some of these foundations have helped shape my relationship with my new partner, Dr. Fox (not his real name…more on that later)! As I get ready to celebrate my 50th birthday in April, I've been reflecting on the biggest life lessons I've learned about love, partnership, and personal growth.  The health of our relationships has a huge impact on our overall well-being, which is why choosing the right partner, whether you decide to get married or not, is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. A thriving relationship isn't just about chemistry; it takes emotional maturity, communication, self-trust, resilience, and daily effort. In fact, love isn't just about finding the right person, it's about being the right person.  Download this episode's worksheet at http://andreaowen.com/664 What you'll hear about in this episode: Emotional Maturity and How to Own Your Sh*t: Self-awareness, self-regulation, and recognizing when you're projecting past wounds. Radical Honesty and Authentic Communication: Honesty fuels connection, even when it's hard or messy. Self-Trust & Independence: Keep your passions, friendships, and personal growth alive. Conflict Resilience: You Two vs. The Problem: Ditch shame, defensiveness, and the need to “win.” Letting Go of Control and Holding Boundaries: Trust your partner while standing firm in your needs. Deep Respect and Mutual Appreciation: Love is a daily choice, not just a feeling. Shared Vision and Growth: Use the “Relationship Check-In” to assess what's working, what's not, and what you both need. Resources from this episode:

I'm excited to share this conversation with Will McCollum and Matthew Marshall, the passionate minds behind Citymakers Collective. This summer, they're hosting a transformative two-week program in Charleston, featuring some of the top practitioners in the New Urbanism and human-centered design movements.  Their approach is holistic, hands-on, and experiential, with a mission to equip the next generation of city makers to design and build places that are resilient, beautiful, and centered on people. In this episode, we delve into the challenges of traditional education, what's missing, and why they felt compelled to create this innovative summer program. If you're a young professional or student working in the built environment—whether you're an architect, planner, builder, developer, engineer or something else—I highly encourage you to check it out and consider applying. Learn more at: citymakerscollective.org TAKEAWAYS The City Makers Collective program teaches principles that make cities more livable, sustainable, and people-focused. Participants engage with Charleston's urban fabric through walking tours, real-world case studies, and collaborative studio projects. The program blends timeless design principles with modern needs to create places that work for today's challenges. Architects, planners, developers, and more come together to foster holistic learning and solutions. Students learn how to navigate market realities, collaborate effectively, and implement sustainable practices in urban design.
