    How do you rebuild a company's entire capability infrastructure — and fund the transformation through the savings it generates? Zaka Farhat is Global SVP for Talent, Learning, Organisation and Capability Development at GSK, where she leads the company's enterprise-wide skills, learning and capability agenda. In this episode, Zaka shares the full story of how GSK rebuilt its capability infrastructure in 18 months - retiring more than 20 legacy systems, building a single skills and learning ecosystem, and funding the transformation through the savings it generated. Join them as David and Zaka discuss:Why GSK's skills transformation began with a commercial question about capability and cost The five conditions for organisational readiness that had to be in place before any platform launched How GSK approached skills taxonomy, job architecture and inference, and what they had to redo along the way What personalised learning looks like at scale, and how skills data is now shaping workforce planning decisions What GSK chose to stop, and why decommissioning is the step most transformations skip How Zaka's team is measuring impact across three KPI layers This episode is sponsored by TechWolf.

    Master flight instructor Rich Stowell says manual flying skills and decision-making skills are complementary, but they're often presented as an either/or choice. The spin master explains why that's wrong and illustrates it with his “power-push-roll” recovery for spiral dives, an overlooked threat in aviation. He also shares a new way to train pilots, which he calls “learn-do-fly,” emphasizing the importance of teaching at the correlation level. In the Ready to Copy segment, Rich talks about the biggest mistake CFIs make during stall training, tips for hand-propping vintage airplanes, and what martial arts taught him about flying.SHOW LINKS:* Learn-Do-Fly Training Standard: https://www.communityaviation.com/standard* Standardizing Roll Recovery: https://www.richstowell.com/standardizing-roll-recovery-in-general-aviation/* Learn to Turn: https://www.richstowell.com/learn-to-turn/* IFR Mastery from PilotWorkshops: https://sportys.com/mastery

    My guest for this and next week's podcast episodes is my sweet friend, Mags Ohmes, who joins me to share the first part of her story. Mags grew up in a beautiful setting in Wisconsin and treasures many happy memories from her early childhood, especially those spent with her siblings. Yet beneath those good memories, her parents carried their own unresolved brokenness into family life. While they loved their children, they were unable to teach many of the relational and life skills Mags would later need. As she entered adulthood, those gaps contributed to unhealthy patterns and choices that brought significant pain and heartache. Everything began to change when Mags met friends in college who knew and loved Jesus. She saw something different in their lives, something authentic and compelling that drew her heart toward Him. As she came to know Christ for herself, a new journey began. God started the work of healing the wounds of her past, teaching her healthier ways to live and relate to others. Mags's story is a beautiful reminder that God can redeem even the places where we feel most unprepared and lead us into wholeness and hope.   To inquire about counseling, email Louise at Louise@louisesedgwick.com.

    Before walking onto a stage, there's always a certain amount of self-talk. For years, a colleague and I would encourage each other with a simple pep talk before a concert—something to sharpen our focus and concentration. Coaches do the same before athletic events. These moments are designed to build confidence, motivation, and clarity. Today's message is a kind of pep talk as well—a reminder to realign with what truly matters: our values, purpose, and the life we're intentionally creating. At halftime of life, we are often given a unique opportunity: the chance to reassess, realign, and intentionally create a next chapter based not on pressure or performance, but on purpose and values. This stage of life is not about starting over from zero. It is about building wisely from everything already accumulated—skills, experience, relationships, wisdom, resilience, and perspective.

    Have you ever watched your child struggle with something and immediately felt the urge to step in?Maybe they couldn't find the right words in a conversation.Maybe they were frustrated by homework.Maybe they forgot something important.Maybe they felt nervous before an event.Maybe they were disappointed by a friendship.Or maybe they were standing on a stool trying to fill up their own water bottle, taking twice as long as it would take you.Maybe they were struggling to zip their jacket.Order their own meal.Ask the question themselves.Carry the bag.Tie the shoe.And before they even had a chance to work through it, you were already reaching for a solution.Explaining. Fixing. Helping. Rescuing.If you're a parent, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Chances are, when it's happening in real time, you don't even realize you're doing it.Because watching our children struggle is uncomfortable.Personally, I think it's often harder to watch your child struggle than it is to face your own struggles.We love them. We want to protect them. We want to spare them unnecessary pain. We want to make things easier when we can.Sometimes we see the obstacle before they do. Sometimes we see their potential and all the possibilities that lie ahead, and because we can spot the roadblock coming, we want to clear it before they ever reach it.The motivation is beautiful. It's love.We love them so much that we want to spare them heartache. Frustration. Disappointment. Embarrassment. Failure. We want to cushion the fall before it ever happens.And honestly, this is something I think about all the time with Sledge.As a special-needs parent, this question carries an extra layer for me. There are moments when helping is absolutely necessary. Moments when support, advocacy, therapy, and intervention matter deeply.But there are also moments when I find myself asking:Am I helping because he truly needs help? Or am I helping because I'm uncomfortable watching him struggle?Because if I'm honest, there are times when Sledge has proven himself far more capable than I expected.He adapts.He perseveres.He figures things out.He keeps trying.And over and over again, he reminds me that capability is often built in the very moments we're tempted to step in.Lately I've been wondering something.What if, in our effort to help, we occasionally step in too soon?What if some of the very experiences we're trying to save our children from are the experiences that would help them discover what they're capable of?What if every time we rush in before they actually need us, we unintentionally communicate a message we never meant to send?Not, “I've got you.”But, “I don't think you've got this.”What if our constant rescuing quietly teaches them to doubt their own resilience?To question their ability to problem-solve?To believe that discomfort is something to escape rather than something they can move through?Because confidence isn't built when someone else always does it for us.Confidence is built when we discover that we can do hard things.That we can recover.That we can adapt.That we can try again.That we can survive disappointment.That we can face challenges and keep moving forward.That God has equipped us for more than we realize.Even if we fall.Even if it's messy.Even if it takes longer than we'd like.Even if the water bottle spills all over the floor.That's why I was so excited to sit down with my friends Sissy Goff and David Thomas to discuss their new book, Capable: How to Teach Your Kids the Strengths, Skills, and Strategies to Build Resilience.Get all the notes and resources on from this podcast at cleerelystated.substack.com and join the community!

    Stuck on the “wrong mountain” in your legal career but unsure what to do next? In this episode, career coach and former lawyer Sherry Mason breaks down how ambitious attorneys can separate prestige from true fulfillment, avoid burnout, and plan a smart, strategic exit instead of a panic-fueled leap. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sherry Mason discuss: Ambition vs. prestige in legal careers Skills, situation, and identity as sources of dissatisfaction Burnout, autonomy, and control for lawyers How spending 20% of your time on aligned work drastically reduces burnout A five-step framework for planning a career transition   Key Takeaways: Many high-achieving lawyers climb career “mountains” chosen for them by others, only to realize later that prestige alone doesn't guarantee a fulfilling life. Career dissatisfaction typically stems from one of three areas (skills, situation, or identity) and it's critical to understand which one is actually driving your unhappiness before you make a big move. Burnout often reflects a loss of autonomy and misalignment between daily work and personal values, not just long hours or compensation.  Research suggests that if just 20% of your time is spent on the work that most lights you up, your risk of burnout can drop dramatically, even if the other 80% is less enjoyable. A thoughtful, stepwise approach of clarifying your criteria, forming hypotheses, testing them through conversations, reaching the right decision-makers, and weighing trade-offs can turn a vague urge to quit into a strategic, lower-risk transition.   "You can do anything, but you can't do everything, and a lot of times we work on climbing to the top of a mountain, and sometimes it is a mountain that someone else has told us would be the right mountain for us to climb.

Listen in as we explore the vital role relational skills play in our faith, and how mastering them allows us to truly reflect the character of God to a world desperate for hope.

Citing examples of professors having to reteach middle school level math to undergrads, regardless of where you stand on testing, this feels like a canary in the mine shaft kind of moment. At the same time, AI use in higher ed is totally out of control, with some professors resorting to invasive surveillance strategies to curtail its use.

    In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker welcomes Ben Oofana for a deep dive into the complexities of relational ambiguity, separation, and unresolved grief. They discuss how these emotional states can activate older attachment patterns, leading clients into cycles of connection-restoring emotional rumination that mimic repair but often result in reactivation of past traumas. The conversation emphasizes the importance for clinicians to formulate care strategies when clients are driven by grief, shame, longing, or relational threats. By understanding these dynamics, therapists can help clients move beyond fixed narratives and reclaim their agency, differentiation, and adaptive contact.

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 11, 2026 29:48


    As AI becomes increasingly capable of generating code, many developers are asking the wrong question. Instead of asking whether AI will replace developers, a better question is: What skills become more valuable when code generation becomes easier? The answer may be AI Deployment Ownership. About Jason Sherman Jason Sherman is a serial entrepreneur, filmmaker, author, and technology founder best known for building practical solutions that bridge the gap between emerging technology and real-world business problems. He is the founder and CEO of Vengo AI and has launched multiple technology platforms throughout his entrepreneurial career. Jason is known for his direct, hands-on approach to innovation, focusing on execution, product development, AI implementation, and helping businesses leverage technology without losing sight of operational realities. His perspective combines startup experience, software development expertise, product strategy, and a strong belief that technology should solve actual business problems rather than chase trends. Links: Facebook, Twitter / X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Website AI Deployment Ownership Changes the Developer Role Historically, many developers focused on implementation. Their value came from translating requirements into working code. Today, AI can assist with much of that work. That shifts responsibility upward. Developers are increasingly expected to understand: Architecture Infrastructure Security Deployment Automation The ability to oversee an entire system becomes more important than writing every line manually. Insight: AI raises the importance of systems thinking. Why Building Is No Longer Enough Many AI-created applications work perfectly in development environments. Production introduces a different reality. Organizations need: Monitoring Logging Security controls CI/CD pipelines Recovery procedures These are areas where experience matters significantly. An application that functions correctly in a demo environment may fail quickly when exposed to real-world usage patterns. AI Deployment Ownership Requires Infrastructure Knowledge One of the strongest themes from the conversation was ownership. Developers who understand deployment gain an advantage by moving beyond simple application development. Key capabilities include: Server management API security Automated deployments Version control workflows Environment management These responsibilities cannot be delegated entirely to AI. Action: Learn how applications move from development into production. The Rise of the Technical Operator The next generation of developers may resemble technical operators rather than pure coders. Their responsibilities include: Reviewing AI output Managing architecture Protecting infrastructure Maintaining reliability This shift mirrors previous technology transitions. Tools become easier. Responsibility becomes greater. AI Deployment Ownership Creates Career Protection Developers concerned about long-term career relevance should focus on areas where judgment matters. AI can generate code. It cannot reliably assume accountability. Organizations still need professionals who can: Evaluate tradeoffs Assess risks Make deployment decisions Own outcomes That ownership creates value. Conclusion The future belongs to developers who understand entire systems rather than individual code files. AI Deployment Ownership represents a practical path forward for developers looking to remain relevant in an increasingly automated environment. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

    The skills that got you promoted may be the ones now working against you. If you were a great individual contributor, the game slowed down for you. You knew the systems, knew where the answers lived, knew how to score. Then you became a manager, and the game sped right back up. The rim moved. The court changed. And the instincts that made you dependable, the "I'll just do it myself" reflex, the urge to route around the difficult teammate, the pressure to have every answer, those instincts now create the very problems you're trying to fix. In this episode, James Rosseau Sr. unpacks the three shifts every new manager has to make to stop leading with old instinct and start leading with new awareness. You'll hear why your promotion was a reward for mastering a game you already understood, why leadership is not the next level of that game but a different game entirely, and why the new game is won through your people, not around them. James also shares the story of "Montel," a team member he almost wrote off at Card Services who became one of his strongest players the moment James stopped managing harder and started investing differently.

    What does it really take to hire and retain people across a workforce that's part office, part shop floor? Jason Lerner, HR Director at Groundwater Treatment and Technology, has spent his career doing exactly that. He's grown his current company from fewer than 300 employees to more than 500 across six states, and he's cracked the code on attracting, developing, and keeping talent in grey industries, where blue-collar and white-collar work exist side by side. In this episode, Jason and Dr. Shari Simpson dig into the skills gap hiding in plain sight, why Gen Z is more suited for grey-collar work than most people think, and how accountability is actually a retention tool, not a threat. Key takeaways: • Why candidates with non-traditional backgrounds may be your best hire, and how to screen for it in the interview. • How to build clear career paths that satisfy Gen Z's need for growth without overpromising. • Why holding people accountable is one of the best things you can do for your top performers.

    See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → AI is moving fast, and the bookkeeping profession is squarely in its path — but not in the way most people fear. In this episode, Michael Palmer sits down with AI strategist and educator Benjamin Tasker to talk about what the shift actually looks like on the ground, which skills will separate bookkeepers who thrive from those who stall, and how to start building your own AI system without a data science degree. Chapters [00:00] Welcome and Ben's Background [03:15] From Data Science to AI Education [08:00] AI's Real Impact on Bookkeeping [12:00] Human Judgment as the Key Check [15:30] Skills That Separate Thriving Bookkeepers [21:00] Data, Systems, and AI Strategy [25:00] Opportunities to Move Up the Value Chain [29:00] First Steps for Integrating AI [32:00] Client Expectations and Transparency [35:00] Fear, Mindset, and Where to Find Ben AI Will Elevate Bookkeeping, Not Replace It Ben is direct about the headline fear: bookkeepers are not going away. "AI will help elevate what a bookkeeper does," he says. The repetitive work — transaction coding, receipt capture, anomaly detection, drafting reports — gets absorbed by AI, which frees up the bookkeeper to move from data entry to data judgment. Think less time in the books and more time coaching clients on their financial pain points. AICPA and Intuit both point in the same direction: the future of the role looks a lot more like analytics and advisory than data input. The Two Skill Lanes Every Bookkeeper Should Know Ben references the World Economic Forum's skills taxonomy, which divides skills into two tracks. AI skills — analytical thinking, systems thinking, coding — pay a premium today, but AI will eventually encroach on those. Human skills — communication, empathy, leadership — are undervalued right now but will command a premium as AI can only mimic, never genuinely replace, them. "AI can put on a facade of empathy and compassion, but it really can't have it because it's robotic." For bookkeepers, the practical focus areas are AI supervision (checking outputs rigorously), advisory thinking, digital and data fluency, and transparent client communication. The Human in the Loop Is Not Optional Ben's background in healthcare data — building algorithms to predict sepsis risk from bedside monitors — gives him a sharp view on why human validation matters. A small data error that goes unchecked can cascade into a much larger problem. "A mistake, especially for a small business owner, could cost tens of thousands of dollars." Bookkeepers already understand this: the work is either right or it isn't. That precision mindset is exactly what responsible AI use demands, and it is a genuine competitive advantage for practitioners who carry it into their AI workflows. Data Is the Oil — Build a System, Not Just a Stack of Tools One of Ben's clearest points: buying an AI tool is not an AI strategy. The framework he outlines is straightforward — start with your data (client records, call transcripts, templates, Google Sheets), run it through a system you build and control, apply AI to it, then validate and iterate. "Just because you buy an AI tool doesn't mean you have an AI strategy or even an AI business." He encourages bookkeepers to build their own processing systems rather than relying entirely on third-party integrations that can change without warning. Start small — something as simple as having AI draft follow-up emails from call transcripts is a low-risk, high-value first step. Practical First Steps and Client Communication For bookkeepers ready to start, Ben's advice is to pick a low-stakes problem, solve it, and let that build confidence. Use AI to profile prospective clients from call transcripts, automate follow-up reminders, or create a client-facing dashboard from existing data. On the client side, transparency is non-negotiable: communicate that you are using AI, explain how it benefits them, and teach them how to give better inputs so they get better outputs. "By providing inputs and encouraging your customers to use AI to show them the benefits of it, they're going to become less resistant over time." That kind of teaching deepens the client relationship well beyond what traditional bookkeeping alone can offer.

    Mike Belsito has spent years at the center of the product management community. As the founder of Product Collective, a leader at Mind the Product, and now Head of Product Evangelism at Pendo, Mike has built a career around learning from product professionals and sharing those insights with the broader industry. In this episode of Product Momentum, Mike joins Sean and Dan for a discussion that is absolutely top of mind for today's product leaders today: while artificial intelligence is transforming how products are built, timeless skills such as curiosity, judgment, and taste remain essential. In fact, he argues, these capabilities will become even more valuable as technology accelerates the pace of product development. Navigating AI Through Human-Centered Product Skills In doing research for a new book, Mike engaged many product leaders who had experienced previous periods of technological disruption – e.g., the rise of the internet, telecommunications, and mobile computing. Now dealing with AI-driven opportunities and uncertainties, many leaders point to the same enduring qualities that helped them and their teams adapt during earlier transitions. Rather than focusing solely on new technologies, they emphasized the importance of human-centered skills that guide decision-making and product strategy. “It’s kind of relying on the same timeless characteristics that we’ve always thought were important,” Mike says. “And even today, we still think are important, which are things like curiosity, judgment, taste.” Balancing Output and Outcomes Our conversation with Mike also explored a growing tension within product organizations – a theme also covered in recent Product Momentum episodes. As AI enables teams to create more content, code, and functionality faster than ever before, Mike cautions against using increased output” as a measure of success. Product teams have spent years shifting their focus from user satisfaction to delivery metrics to business outcomes, Mike continues. “That mindset remains critical, even as AI changes workflows. But how do we make sure that it’s not just about the output – that we’re actually building the right things?” For product managers, designers, and engineers, the challenge is ensuring that speed does not come at the expense of delivering business value. Curiosity as a Practiced Skill Among Mike’s more surprising research discoveries was how often leaders highlighted curiosity as a skill that can be developed intentionally. Rather than viewing curiosity as an innate personality trait, many described it as a practice that strengthens through deliberate effort. It's an insight that brings important implications for today's product teams. Learning, questioning assumptions, and seeking new perspectives become competitive advantages in times like these when the technology landscape evolves so quickly, Mike adds. “I wasn’t thinking of curiosity as a practice or as a muscle to be flexed.” As AI continues to reshape product development, Mike offers a practical perspective for product leaders. Technology will continue to evolve, he says, but the ability to ask thoughtful questions, exercise sound judgment, and focus on meaningful outcomes remains fundamental. Those timeless capabilities may ultimately determine which teams are best equipped to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven future. [03:45[ What is product evangelism? Being Pendo’s Head of Product Evangelism is a new role for me, one that I’ve just stepped into weeks ago. Pendo has a unique point of view on how it helps product people, and it does that through its software, and now it’s all kind of software. [06:25] Mike’s new book project — the origin story. I wasn’t planning on ever writing a book again. The publisher [Wiley] reached out kind of out of the blue and told me ‘we think you have a pretty unique point of view.’ [09:41] What’s exciting you right now? What’s keeping you up at night? Essential questions Mike poses to every product leader he speaks with, in every conversation. [14:44] Rewarding outcomes over outputs. Many product folks came up in a world where we all celebrated outputs. Like, how much did we deliver this week? But then it came to a point where we said, ‘hey, it actually shouldn’t be about outputs…it should be about outcomes. And it’s even beyond outcomes for your customers — it’s about outcomes for businesses too. [17:29] Creating the right thing > Creating for creating’s sake. We have to remember that it’s not just about creating for creating sake, it’s like making sure we’re creating the right thing. [20:47] Curiosity, taste, and judgment. We used to believe that these were innate personality traits. But lately, as I have conducted research for my upcoming book, I am learning from other product leaders that these are muscles that can be strengthened, and they are muscles we must flex regularly.
