Podcasts about skills

What if the thing separating high performers from everyone else has nothing to do with skill? In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill revisits his conversation with Rich Diviney, retired Navy SEAL Commander and bestselling author of The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. Rich reveals why the innate qualities that define how we show up under stress, challenge, and uncertainty are far more predictive of success than any resume credential or technical ability, and what that means for leaders building teams in high-stakes environments. Here's what you'll learn: Why the attributes that drive performance under uncertainty can't be taught the same way skills can, and how to develop them anyway How to identify what separates someone who thrives under pressure from someone who folds, long before the pressure arrives What the five categories of attributes (grit, drive, mental acuity, leadership, and team ability) reveal about your own performance profile and the teams you build If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build a team that performs when things don't go as planned, this conversation is your blueprint.

Most people assume the work that drains them is just part of the job, something to push through, optimize around, or get faster at. But the real reason certain tasks deplete you has nothing to do with how skilled you are. It comes down to a distinction between your skills and strengths and how often your work is in alignment. What You'll Learn: The critical difference between skills and strengths and why confusing the two is what keeps most high performers trapped in work that slowly drains them Why getting better at draining work never actually solves the problem and what a strengths-based approach does instead How to use your natural wiring to build the right skills and clear tedious tasks off your plate in a way that actually sticks Why routines aren't just time management tools, they're acts of intentional career design that compound over time into a work life you want to show up for How clearing draining work and protecting your energy is one of the most effective ways to prevent burnout before it starts   Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!

Can a youth enrichment franchise teach three-year-olds chess and produce strong unit economics without a storefront? Story Time Chess has built its business around that exact idea. In this episode of the Franchise Fit Podcast, host Lance Graulich sits down with Jon Sieber, co-founder of Story Time Chess, and Elise Morales, Director of Franchise Development at Franchise FastLane, to examine a children's education franchise that combines storytelling, chess instruction, school partnerships, and a low-overhead operating model.

Bethany Morrison shares civic professionalism and how disciplinary identity shapes civic discourse on episode 632 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Democracy needs to be born every generation. We can’t just assume it… Every generation, we have to kind of rebirth it, and it has to happen in our schools. -Bethany Morrison One of the principles that we often recommend is setting some community discussion guidelines, talking together as a classroom community about how we want things to go when those hot moments come up later. -Bethany Morrison Not saying anything has meaning too. So if you don’t say anything, you are making a decision, and students are going to read that to mean it was okay. -Bethany Morrison Resources Promoting Democracy, Fostering Skills (Bethany Morrison, CRLT Substack) Selecting Classroom Activities for Promoting Democracy (Bethany Morrison, CRLT Substack) Promoting Democracy Teaching Series (Ginsberg Center) How My Profession Influences Policy: Assignment Guide and Instructions A Framework for Planning and Facilitating High-Stakes Discussions Making the Most of “Hot Moments” in the Classroom (CRLT Handout) Talking Maize & Blue (University of Michigan) Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) Ginsberg Center for Community and Civic Engagement Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict, by Donna Hicks UMICH Votes AllSides Finch

When most people think of negotiation, they picture big, high-stakes moments: haggling over the price of a house, negotiating a starting salary, or hammering out the terms of a business deal. But negotiation is also something we do every day. It's working out who's taking on which chores with your spouse, convincing a coworker to help on a project, or even deciding where to go for dinner with friends. The better you understand negotiation — which is really about influencing other people's decisions — the better you'll be at navigating conflicts and opportunities both big and small.My guest has spent decades studying the art and science of wielding that influence. John Richardson teaches negotiation at MIT's Sloan School of Management and is the co-author of Never Settle. Today on the show, John shares what he learned from negotiation legends like Roger Fisher, co-author of Getting to Yes, and FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss. He unpacks the skills of master negotiators, including how to build reciprocity, uncover what people actually want, and keep your emotions from hijacking your judgment. We also get into the part of negotiation that makes people the most uncomfortable: the back-and-forth over hard numbers like price and salary and how to handle those conversations with greater confidence and better results.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #234: Haggling and Deal Making Advice From a FBI Hostage Negotiator (With Chris Voss)AoM Podcast #559: How to Handle Difficult Conversations (With Sheila Heen)Influence: The Essential Guide to the Psychology of Influence and Persuasion in Everyday Life by Robert B.

In nutrition and health coaching, one of the central challenges is understanding how people actually change, particularly when life is complex, motivation fluctuates, and behaviour is shaped by emotion, identity, environment, and relationships. In this episode, Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon discusses the human skills that underpin effective coaching practice. We discuss the importance of the coach–client relationship, the role of therapeutic alliance, and how concepts from counselling and psychology can be used appropriately within scope of practice. The discussion also explores autonomy-supportive coaching, self-regulation, compassion, acceptance, feedback, and the meta-skills practitioners need in order to improve over time.

Are you questioning whether to stay married? Do you feel unhappy, unloved, disrespected and lonely even though you're in a relationship? This is the disillusionment or power struggle stage of relationshiop that EVERYONE hits without exception.In this episode I talk about this stage of relationship, how we find ourselves here, what you may have already tried to get past it and how our advice for a man is different to most other coaches and therapists because we know that to reach the next stage requires that you become a stronger, more self assured, more confident leader of yourself so that you can then lead the relationship forward. Waiting for her to change or trying to negotiate with her will not work, you must SHOW her the way by changing first. Only then will she trust that you know where you want to go with her and what you want to create for the future of your marriage.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goodguys2greatmen-podcast--4650431/support.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roun

I talk with Mark Paulek, Chief Human Resources Officer at Kyndryl, about how leaders should approach AI transformation without losing employee trust. We get into Kyndryl's People Readiness Report, the company's AIR framework for anticipating demand, inventorying skills, and redeploying talent, plus how they think about AI governance, human-in-the-loop decisions, ROI, reskilling, and why AI adoption is ultimately a people challenge before it is a technology challenge.

We're continuing our series, The Human Skills, and this week we're digging into skill number two: mind management. Here's the core idea - your thoughts aren't facts, they're a lens. And that lens shapes everything: your feelings, your actions, and ultimately your results. I walk you through The Model (circumstance → thought → feeling → action → result) with a real leadership example, then we get into limiting beliefs - where they come from, why smart, capable leaders run on them anyway, and how to actually reprogram them with a "bridge thought" you can believe. I also share how reprogramming looks different depending on your Insights Discovery color energy, plus five common limiting mindsets (imposter syndrome, comparison, self-criticism, people-pleasing, and more) with simple reframes for each. This one's quick and ends with a challenge you can try this week. You don't have to believe every thought you think!

For this episode, let's revisit a strategy skills classic interview with the author of MoneyZen: The Secret to Finding Your "Enough", Manisha Thakor.

A nationally recognized thought-leader in this space, Thakor has been featured in a wide range of publications including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, NPR, PBS, CNN, Real Simple, and Women's Health. Prior to writing MoneyZen, Thakor co-authored two personal finance books for women in their twenties and thirties. Today her work focuses on helping people of all ages to balance financial health and emotional wealth.

We spend months planning a wedding, but how much time do we invest in preparing our brains for a lifetime of connection? This episode explores how newlywed couples can build rock-solid emotional habits right from the start.

A deep faith, a belief that marriage is forever, a commitment to never give up, and a willingness to fight for the relationship are powerful foundations—but beliefs alone are not enough. Beliefs are one pillar of marriage. Love is another. But skills are what sustain. In this episode, Dr. Dan explores the truth that many couples discover only after years of struggle: two people can deeply love each other, share the same values, and genuinely want their marriage to succeed—yet still lack the tools needed to communicate, repair, understand, and reconnect. Drawing from over 25 years as a clinical psychologist and sports psychologist, Dr. Dan explains the essential relationship skills that allow love to move beyond a feeling and become a lifelong practice. Skills like emotional awareness, meaningful communication, conflict repair, empathy, vulnerability, and creating a shared vision for the future. A lasting marriage is not built on love alone. It is built when beliefs provide the foundation, love provides the connection, and skills create the ability to thrive. Because love may bring two people together—but the skills they develop determine whether that love continues to grow. Go Get Your Moment. Build the Relationship. Create the Future You Both Want.

Known for his raw, honest approach to relationships and personal growth, John has built a thriving business by turning his own heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery into books, content, coaching, and community. In this episode, he shares how a $20 PayPal payment changed the trajectory of his life, why finding your authentic voice is the foundation of every successful brand, and how embracing solitude can lead to deeper relationships and a more fulfilling life. On this episode we talk about: How a single $20 PayPal payment validated John's work and launched his entrepreneurial journey Why finding your unique voice matters more than building a personal brand The relationship between failure, identity, and personal growth Lessons from John's new book, Love Hard on Purpose, on building healthier relationships The power of consistency and documenting your story over chasing viral success Top 3 Takeaways Your voice is your greatest competitive advantage. Skills can be learned, but your perspective and lived experiences are impossible to replicate. Success comes from consistent reps over time. Thousands of blog posts, books, and podcast episodes created the "overnight success" people see today. Healthy relationships begin with a healthy relationship with yourself. Periods of intentional solitude can help you build the self-awareness needed to love others well. Notable Quotes "If you don't make it about you, God will."

This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts ask the eternal tabletop question: what happens when your beloved fantasy RPG grows up, gets a driver's license, discovers firearms, and immediately becomes everyone's problem? We begin with PishPash My Memory is Trash merch, accidental mug design crimes, Pride, wizard bazookas, and Ash's long-simmering legal case against the movie Bright. Then we get to the real issue: how do you let someone fight Tiamat with an Uzi without turning your campaign into a spreadsheet, a war crime, or Shadowrun with the serial numbers filed off? Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew takes a deep dive into adapting fantasy tabletop RPG systems like D&D and Pathfinder to other technology levels, including modern fantasy, science fiction, cyberpunk-adjacent worlds, post-apocalyptic settings, and anything else where a greatsword might have to share table space with a grenade launcher. Tyler walks through the history of previous attempts to drag D&D-style mechanics out of the dungeon and into other genres, including d20 Star Wars, d20 Modern, Star Wars Saga Edition, Star Wars 5e, and the often-forgotten Modern Magic Unearthed Arcana. Along the way, the hosts dig into how those systems handled things like armor, hit points, wounds, vitality, class design, talents, occupations, reputation, and the eternal question of whether getting shot with a blaster should feel worse than being poked with a longsword. The conversation turns into a practical design checklist for anyone trying to run fantasy rules in a modern or sci-fi setting. The big issues are weapons, armor, hit points, movement, vehicles, skills, tools, hacking, currency, magic, classes, monsters, and access to dangerous gear. A gun that does more damage than a sword is easy to write down. Making that gun fun, balanced, available, expensive, illegal, scary, and not immediately campaign-breaking is the actual work. The hosts also wrestle with the big philosophical question: at what point have you changed D&D so much that you should just play a different game? Tyler's rule of changing three major things makes its return, Ash argues for fantasy with modern aesthetics, Randall brings up comet-based magic awakenings and Maximum Overdrive, and everyone briefly imagines what happens when a party of adventurers has to fight a kaiju from inside a tank. Finally, the Question of the Week asks the most important dice-related question possible: what is your favorite die, and which one deserves to be thrown into the sea? Ash defends the d8 and declares war on the foot-stabbing d4. Tyler gives some love to the underappreciated d12. Randall hates the actual d100 because it is basically a tiny chaotic bowling ball that refuses to stop rolling. D20 Modern on DMsGuild (affiliate link) D20 Future on DMsGuild (affiliate link) SW5e Bright RPGBOT.Store DnD 5e modern rules UA "Modern Magic" Dan Helmick's update IMDB Maximum Overdrive Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey Dice Miner (affiliate link) Key Takeaways Adapting fantasy RPGs to modern or sci-fi settings is not just about adding guns. You have to rethink combat assumptions, armor, hit points, movement, skills, equipment, enemies, and the economy. Previous d20-based games offer useful examples. d20 Star Wars experimented with wounds and vitality. d20 Modern used basic classes tied to ability scores, occupations, talents, and advanced classes. Star Wars Saga Edition showed some early design DNA that later appeared in 4e. Firearms and modern weapons change the math quickly. A pistol, rifle, grenade, or blaster can make traditional fantasy damage assumptions look very strange unless the system accounts for armor, accuracy, availability, legality, and consequences. Armor may need to work differently. In a modern game, characters probably are not walking around in plate armor, so armor might reduce damage, resist ballistic attacks, or be replaced partly by class-based defense or plot-armor-style scaling. Hit points can still work, but they need a clear interpretation. They might represent luck, stamina, near misses, tactical positioning, or cinematic survival rather than literal meat points. Vehicles change encounter design. Horses and overland travel are one thing. Cars, motorcycles, tanks, aircraft, and spaceships make movement, chase scenes, distance, and random encounters much more complicated. Skills and tools need updating. Computers, hacking, piloting, driving, engineering, and modern medicine may need to be skills, tool proficiencies, lore-style specialties, or full subsystems depending on how important they are to the campaign. The modern world makes Strength harder to justify unless the game gives it a reason to matter. Close quarters, carrying capacity, melee restrictions, grappling, armor, and specialized builds can help keep strong characters relevant. Classes may need reskinning rather than replacement. A barbarian might become a super-soldier, a rage-serum bruiser, or a minigun-wielding menace. A cleric might serve an ideal, philosophy, cosmic force, AI god, or belief system rather than a traditional deity. Magic can stay magical, become technology, or sit beside technology. Fireball might still be a spell, or it might be a grenade, a rocket launcher, a plasma weapon, or a problem for your insurance provider. Monsters still work if you treat them thoughtfully. Vampires, mind flayers, zombies, kaiju, and the Tarrasque can all survive in modern settings if their defenses, tactics, environment, and narrative role make sense. Access matters. Just because tanks, RPGs, and military hardware exist does not mean the party can buy them at Fantasy Costco. Price, legality, scarcity, black markets, and consequences are balancing tools. Currency may be better handled abstractly. Modern money can become tedious fast, so a wealth stat or resource system may work better than tracking every nickel, dime, credit card, crypto wallet, and suspicious suitcase full of cash. Tyler's three-change rule is a useful warning sign. If you need to make three huge changes to force D&D into another genre, consider whether another RPG already does what you want better. The episode's greatest lesson may be this: you can absolutely kill Tiamat with an Uzi, but first you need to know what that does to armor class, encounter balance, campaign tone, and the local black market.

Most decisions (90-95%) happen via our fast, intuitive System 1 brain. Learning Cialdini's principles lets you give people the mental shortcuts they need to say yes quickly and confidently—whether in job interviews, sales, negotiations, or everyday life. In an AI-driven world where interpersonal skills rank as a top-3 priority, starting early can dramatically alter your career trajectory and avoid years of wasted effort.

DrB's most provocative episode — and one of the most important. She is not anti-medication, and she makes that clear. But she will not pretend that medication is enough.This episode draws a definitive line between what medication can do (create a window, reduce static, improve focus) and what it can never do (build skills, rewrite identity, heal shame). If you've been medicated for years and still feel like something is missing — this episode will tell you what that something is.Key Points Covered• DrB's clear position: not anti-medication, but deeply pro-skills• What stimulant medication can genuinely do for ADHD adults• What medication cannot do — and why this matters so much• Why so many medicated adults are still struggling• The complete picture: medication as a window, skills as the buildingLinks Mentioned• drbarbaracohen.com — All episodes + show resources• Get Sh*t Done (GSD) 9-Month Program — drbarbaracohen.comNew date for upcoming Masterclass - August 25, 2026 - details coming soon.

Before Inside Job's upcoming profile with Lori, a tax prep accountant working with high-net-worth clients, Aaron and Matt sit down to unpack the bigger question behind the story: what is AI really doing to the way we work? From entrepreneurs pushing AI tools to their limits, to employees constrained by company systems, to younger workers learning through models instead of mentors, this conversation explores the strange middle ground we are living in right now. AI can feel magical one minute and frustrating the next. It can save hours of work, but it can also make us wonder which skills we are quietly giving up.

Pigeons: The Heroic Communicators of Modern Warfare Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World The humble pigeon is celebrated for its extraordinary homing skills, which Moss describes as making it the "ultimate mailman." While legends like the Rothschilds using pigeons to profit from the Battle of Waterloo are mostly myth, the bird's real-world contributions to communication during the World Wars were pivotal. During D-Day, radio silence was mandatory, and pigeons were released from Normandy beaches to carry news of successful landings back to Britain. Moss highlights Cher Ami, a pigeon that saved a New York battalion from "friendly fire" despite being severely wounded. These birds were so effective that the British military even deployed a unit to hunt peregrine falcons to protect pigeon messengers. Moss notes the paradox of the pigeon: often dismissed as urban pests, they were actually reliable, "unturnable" assets that saved the democratic world through their instinctual drive to return home.

Do you want to be the kind of leader people never forget? This week in a first-of-its-kind react-style Maxwell Leadership Podcast episode, John Maxwell sits down with Jeff Henderson to share the essential skills that turn everyday leadership into a lasting legacy. As John teaches, Mark Cole provides practical strategies to help you activate John's teachings and elevate your impact right now.  Key takeaways:  Empowering others doesn't diminish your influence—it multiplies it, as the best leaders know they're always stronger together than alone.  Authentic leadership requires living the message before you teach it so your words carry moral authority and genuine connection.  Every growth opportunity comes with a trade-off, and true leaders relentlessly trade comfort for progress and excuses for action.  Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Learn These Skills to Become a Memorable Leader Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Memorable and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."  This episode is sponsored by BELAY:  Leaders, stop trying to do it all yourself. The best leaders know their limits, operate out of their strengths, and set others up for success.
