In this episode, Mark outlines eight "conscious alpha husband" behaviours designed to help men lead with integrity and create a sense of safety and trustworthiness within their marriages.

AI is moving faster than most organisations can redesign themselves, so how do you stop transformation becoming a series of disconnected technology fixes?In the most recent HR Leaders Podcast episode, I had an insightful conversation with Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer (CPSO) of Siemens AG.She explains how Siemens is rethinking its operating model, skills infrastructure and approach to AI as it becomes a more connected technology company. From simplifying the foundations underneath HR to embedding learning into everyday work, Judith shares how Siemens is preparing its people and organisation for a world where transformation never really stops.5 things you'll learn from this episode:The three-part AI model Siemens uses to separate everyday adoption from the much harder challenge of redesigning business processesWhy one of the biggest barriers to scaling AI has nothing to do with the technology itselfThe unglamorous HR foundations Siemens believes need to be in place before personalised learning and skills strategies can really workHow Siemens is using skills data to uncover far more internal career opportunities than traditional CV matching could revealWhy Judith believes the ability to keep learning may become more valuable than much of the knowledge employees already have today

For this episode, let's revisit a strategy skills classic interview with the author of The Illusion of Innovation: Escape "Efficiency" and Unleash Radical Progress, Elliott Parker. The Illusion of Innovation tackles the problem with innovation inside big companies, having activities that feel like innovation but lead to value destruction, not progress. This book explains why meaningful innovation naturally emerges from deliberate inefficiency and how large corporations can harness the power of small teams—startups—to drive radical change through systematic experimentation. Elliott Parker is the founder and CEO of High Alpha Innovation, a venture builder that partners with corporations, universities, and entrepreneurs to co-create startups that solve compelling problems. He built his career in strategy consulting at Innosight, the firm founded by Clayton Christensen, in corporate venturing, and as an entrepreneur bringing new ideas to market. To date, he has launched over 40 venture-backed startups. Originally from California, Elliott currently resides with his family in Indiana. He earned a B.S. in Finance from BYU and an M.B.A. from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.

Pre-rounding, reviewing patient data from the electronic medical record to formulate preliminary management plans, is an essential professional behavior for nurse practitioner students. To develop this clinical skill and promote metacognition, students design a personalized data collection template in a clinical seminar, identifying which data elements they will review and how they will organize the information.

In this special episode, we share a recording of a UCLA event titled Why History Matters: Immigration, sponsored by the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Department of History as well as the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Moderated by Dean of the UCLA Division of Social Sciences, Abel Valenzuela, this event features a discussion between UCLA professors Kelly Lytle- Hernández, Ahilan Arulanantham, and Rubén Hernández-León. Our experts consider the fraught and often racist history of immigration policy in the U.S. as well as the immigration pathways and policy today. Kelly Lytle- Hernández is Professor and Thomas E. Lifka Endowed Chair of History, with appointments in History, African American Studies, and Urban Planning at UCLA. As one of the nation's leading experts on race, immigration, and mass incarceration, she was named a MacArthur Genius Fellow in 2019. She is also an elected member of the Society of American Historians, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and she sits on the Pulitzer Prize Board.  She is the author of multiple award-winning books, including Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire, and Revolution in the Borderlands (W. W. Norton, 2022). Her newest book, Racist by Design: Two Centuries of U.S. Immigration Control,  will be published by W. W. Norton in late 2026.Ahilan Arulanantham is Professor from Practice and co-director of Miñana Family Center for Immigration Law and Policy at the UCLA School of Law. In addition to his teaching, Ahilan maintains an active litigation practice. Prior to joining UCLA, Ahilan was senior counsel at the ACLU in Los Angeles, where he worked for two decades. In 2016, Ahilan was named a MacArthur Foundation Genius Fellow. Rubén Hernández-León is Professor of Sociology at UCLA, Director of the UCLA Latin American Institute, and Co-Chair of the Master of Arts in Latin American Studies program at UCLA. He previously directed the UCLA Center for Mexican Studies (2009-2021). His most recent book, Skills of the “Unskilled”: Work and Mobility among Mexican Migrants (UC Press, 2015), co-authored with Jacqueline Hagan and Jean-Luc Demonsant, received the best book award (co-winner) from the Section on Inequality, Poverty, and Mobility of the American Sociological Association in 2016. His research focuses on new developments in Mexico-U.S. migration and the role of the migration industry in international migration.

Is technology making you smarter, or are you slowly training your brain to do less? We are living in a world where AI can write our emails, answer our questions, organize our thoughts, remember information, and make decisions faster than we ever could on our own. Our phones remember everything for us. GPS tells us where to go. Social media constantly competes for our attention. And the more convenient technology becomes, the easier it is to stop exercising the memory, focus, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that make us human. This matters because your brain adapts to how you use it. You can deliberately train your focus, memory, confidence, adaptability, and ability to think for yourself. You can protect the first few minutes of your morning, stop giving away your attention, create friction before immediately turning to AI, and build mental strength the same way you build physical strength. The goal is to use technology as a tool while continuing to develop the human intelligence that allows you to make better decisions, solve harder problems, and adapt when the world changes. Jim Kwik is a brain performance expert, bestselling author, and leading voice on memory, focus, accelerated learning, and human intelligence. After experiencing a traumatic brain injury and learning challenges as a child, he dedicated his life to understanding how the brain learns and how people can improve their cognitive performance. His latest book, Limitless Daily, focuses on simple daily practices designed to strengthen your mind, improve performance, and help you make meaningful progress one day at a time. What's Discussed: (04:07) How relying on AI and technology to remember and think for us can weaken the cognitive skills we stop using. (06:42) Why AI is no longer the real competitive advantage and why human intelligence, judgment, creativity, and critical thinking matter more. (27:43) Why the first five minutes after waking can shape your focus, mood, and perspective for the rest of the day. (37:31) Why confidence comes after action and how doing difficult things creates evidence that you are capable. (41:47) How deliberately thinking before turning to AI can help strengthen cognitive flexibility and mental resilience. (55:44) How scrolling, bingeing, and getting rewarded before doing the work can reduce motivation and make follow-through harder. (59:28) How the questions you repeatedly ask yourself shape what your brain notices and reinforce the beliefs you already hold. (01:00:25) Why reading too slowly can make your mind wander and how increasing your pace can improve focus and comprehension. (01:13:43) How multitasking and constant task switching drain focus, increase mistakes, and waste mental energy. (01:19:29) Why remembering someone's name can strengthen relationships, improve likability, and even affect major business opportunities.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

What kind of leader do you need to become when knowledge and experience alone are no longer enough?In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, I sit down with Amy Elizabeth Fox to explore the deeper inner development leaders need to navigate a world of accelerating change, uncertainty, and complexity.We unpack the difference between horizontal and vertical development, and why real transformation goes beyond acquiring new skills to changing how you see yourself, others, and the world.

Most of us repeatedly teach our AI coding agents the same lessons: ask questions before coding, write a specification, break the work into tickets, test everything, and review the result. Agent skills let us package those instructions into reusable workflows that an agent can load whenever they become relevant. In this episode, Matt and Mike explain what agent skills are, how they differ from prompts, project rules, tools, MCP servers, and custom GPTs, and why they can make AI-assisted development more consistent. They also explore Matt Pocock's engineering skills - including grill-with-docs, wayfinder, to-spec, to-tickets, implement, code-review, and handoff - and discuss why installing too many overlapping skills can make an agent worse instead of better.

This is it — the final episode in our Human Skills series, and it's the one that answers the question underneath all the others: so what? What actually changes when you build these skills? In this episode, I walk through the ripple effect of human-centered leadership across five levels: starting with you, then the person in front of you, your team, your organization, and finally, the greater good. Because leadership isn't just about feeling confident in the room. It's about how it feels to be led by you. If you've been with me for this whole series, this is the send-off. And if you're just joining, this is a great place to start. Enjoy!

There is a bottle right now in your pantry that says Pure Avocado Oil. There's a bag of chips in the pantry that says it's made with avocado oil, and there is a real chance both of them are lying to you. This summer, researchers at UC Davis tested a batch of processed foods that listed avocado oil as the only oil on the label. Nearly nine out of every ten were cut with cheaper oils, and when I read that, my stomach dropped because I had a lab result sitting in a folder from a year earlier, that suddenly made sense. Today I'm going to walk you through three things what the testing found, what showed up in my own blood work, and how long it took me to figure it out. And the lesson sitting underneath all of it. The lesson I want you to carry out of this episode and into your kitchen tonight. The label is not the truth.   Time Stamps:   (1:25) The Label Is Not The Truth (2:15) The Explosion of Avocado Oil (4:10) Contrasting Olive Oil (10:15) My Husband's Chef Skills (12:50) When It Stops Being About Labels ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.

In this episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, David James is joined by Rob Peacock, Director of Leadership & Learning at Merlin Entertainments, to discuss the transformation journey of the global learning function. They look at the disconnect between legacy training methods and the "hands-on" reality of managing a commercial P&L, while tackling the question of how to select and deliver "power skills" that genuinely serve a young, frontline workforce. They also explore how senior leaders are being embedded as active role models across the organization, the friction encountered when transitioning from local teams to global academies and the specific metrics needed to remain accountable and valued in 2026. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS Merlin shifted from fragmented, locally driven L&D to global academies to build consistent leadership, enterprise capabilities, and democratised learning at scale. Including academies that target specific roles or departments e.g. engineers. A sharp focus on a few power skills, including storytelling, great conversations and  business partnering drives frontline performance and long‑term careers far more than catalogues of courses. Those soft but powerful skills work for a lifetime. Storytelling is treated as a core power skill because it makes everything else work better: presentations, influencing, leadership, and guest experience all become more effective when people can tell simple, human, memorable stories. A shared high‑performing team model combined with diagnostics drives systemic change and shows you where you need to focus next. L&D leaders must lean into discomfort, own their expertise with executives, and relentlessly tie learning to business impact.   BEST MOMENTS “The goal is great leaders, not great leadership development.”   “If you identify the right levers, you can make a very very substantive difference.” “Data informs people. Stories move people.”   “Leadership is the cornerstone of any successful organisation. It´s a cornerstone of any transformation.”   “You have to stay laser focused on the things that make the single biggest difference.”   Rob Peacock Bio Rob Peacock is a senior learning and development leader with over 15 years of experience building capability across global organisations. He currently serves as Global Director of Leadership and Learning at Merlin Entertainments, having joined in 2024. Before Merlin, Rob held senior L&D and talent roles at The Very Group, Samsung Electronics, and Virgin Media, where he led the company's L&D Academy. His career began at Tesco, where he spent nearly a decade across recruitment, HR business partnering, and learning roles spanning 22 countries. https://www.linkedin.com/in/robpeacockuyl/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Learning And Development Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-learning-development-podcast/id1466927523 L&D Master Class Series: https://360learning.com/blog/l-and-d-masterclass-home ABOUT THE HOST David James  David has been a People Development professional for more than 20 years, most notably as Director of Talent, Learning & OD for The Walt Disney Company across Europe, the Middle East & Africa.  As well as being the Chief Learning Officer at 360Learning, David is a prominent writer and speaker on topics around modern and digital L&D.  CONTACT METHOD  Twitter:  https://twitter.com/davidinlearning LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjameslinkedin L&D Collective: https://360learning.com/the-l-and-d-collective Blog: https://360learning.com/blog L&D Master Class Series: https://360learning.com/blog/l-and-d-masterclass-home This Podcast has been brought to you by Disruptive Media. https://disruptivemedia.co.uk/

Success doesn't come from simply earning a degree, landing a job, or setting an ambitious goal. It comes from developing the skills, mindset, and personal accountability needed to turn opportunities into results. On this episode of Your Employment Matters, Beverly Williams talks with Dr. Peter Andersen, author, publisher, speaker, former school superintendent, and author of The Three Secret Skills of Top Performers: Powerful Lessons in Transformational Leadership. Drawing on his experiences in education, business, coaching, and leadership, Dr. Andersen shares his perspective on preparing young people and adults for long-term success. Their conversation explores the many paths available after high school and why a traditional four-year college degree isn't the only route to a rewarding career. Trade schools, community colleges, military service, entrepreneurship, and other forms of specialized training can all provide strong opportunities when they're paired with the right skills and work ethic. Key Points College isn't the only path to success. Dr. Andersen encourages families to consider community colleges, trade schools, apprenticeships, military service, and other options based on a person's talents, interests, and career goals. Education should be approached strategically. Starting at a community college can significantly reduce the cost of earning a degree while allowing students to complete transferable general education courses. Skills matter as much as credentials. Beverly and Dr. Andersen emphasize that career advancement requires knowledge, training, experience, and strong communication skills. Wanting a leadership position isn't enough. You have to develop the qualifications to earn it. Work ethic has to be learned and practiced. Success often looks easy from the outside, but meaningful achievement requires consistent effort. Young people benefit from learning early that their choices, preparation, and effort have consequences. Personal accountability is essential. Instead of blaming teachers, coworkers, teammates, or circumstances when something goes wrong, Dr. Andersen encourages people to evaluate what they could've done differently and use that information to improve. Career exploration should begin before college. High school can be an important time for students to identify their talents, abilities, and skills and begin connecting those strengths with potential careers. That exploration can also help students avoid costly changes in direction later. Multiple income streams can provide greater security. Beverly points out that developing more than one marketable skill or source of income can provide options when employment circumstances change. Critical thinking matters in an information-heavy world. With so much information available through social media and other sources, people need the knowledge and critical-thinking skills to recognize misinformation, understand bias, and make informed decisions. Dr. Andersen also explains the three skills at the heart of his approach to transformational leadership and performance: increasing awareness, enhancing self-evaluation, and connecting reward with reinforcement. Awareness means paying attention and understanding what makes new information meaningful and relevant. Self-evaluation means assessing yourself before, during, and after a performance instead of waiting until something goes wrong. Connecting reward with reinforcement means recognizing the positive results that encourage productive behaviors to continue. These skills can be applied to what Dr. Andersen describes as four major areas of life: jobs, tasks, skills, and relationships. When people learn to use the three skills together, they can continually evaluate their performance, make adjustments, and build on their successes. Throughout the conversation, Beverly and Dr. Andersen return to one central idea: there are many routes to a successful career, but none of them eliminate the need to do the work. Whether someone chooses college, a skilled trade, military service, entrepreneurship, or another path, success requires preparation, accountability, communication, continuous learning, and a willingness to develop useful skills. For parents, educators, students, and professionals alike, the goal isn't simply to choose the "right" path. It's to develop the mindset and abilities that make it possible to succeed wherever that path leads. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. At 36 years old, Judy B-Armstrong expected to continue building her career as a registered nurse. She had invested years in caring for others, developing her medical knowledge, and creating a future for her family.

Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. The symptoms were severe, her physical limitations became overwhelming, and she eventually received a life-changing diagnosis: lupus. The chronic autoimmune disease forced Judy to leave nursing and brought her professional life to an unexpected stop. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. But her story did not end there. Judy's years of illness, uncertainty, and personal trauma eventually led her toward remarkable and unexpected success. She went from being unable to work to becoming the CEO of an ambulatory surgery center. She later built a career in real estate and discovered a new calling as an inspirational Christian speaker. Judy B-Armstrong is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. During the interview, she talks about her health challenges, the emotional impact of losing her nursing career, and the faith that helped her rebuild her life. Her powerful message is clear: “Never give up, because God is still writing your story.” A Lupus Diagnosis Changed Everything Judy was working as a registered nurse when her health began to deteriorate. At first, she did not have a clear explanation for what was happening to her body. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. The interview is also featured across Facebook and Instagram. As her symptoms intensified, it became increasingly difficult for her to perform the physically demanding work required in nursing. Eventually, doctors diagnosed her with lupus. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue. Its symptoms can include extreme fatigue, joint pain, inflammation, and damage to different parts of the body. The severity of the condition varies, but for Judy, the physical limitations became impossible to ignore. She could no longer continue working as a nurse. Losing a career can affect far more than a person's income. It can also disrupt their identity, confidence, independence, and sense of purpose. Judy had spent years helping patients, but she suddenly found herself facing an illness that she could not simply treat or work through. “The lupus diagnosis ended my nursing career, but it did not end my ability to make a difference,” Judy explains. At the time, however, she could not see where the journey would eventually lead. Forced Into an Unexpected Season of Life Judy became a stay-at-home mother and remained out of the workforce for nearly a decade. What began as a medical necessity turned into a long season of waiting. Her body had imposed limits that she had never planned for, and there was no guarantee that she would ever be able to return to a professional career. Those years required patience, resilience, and faith. Rather than completely disconnecting from her profession, Judy continued following developments in nursing and healthcare. She stayed informed about the latest nursing News and maintained an interest in the industry that had once defined her career. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. She also began consuming books, recordings, and presentations from some of the leading motivational speakers of that era. Their lessons about perseverance, attitude, purpose, and personal growth helped her protect her mindset during an extremely difficult period. Long before Judy stepped onto a stage as a motivational speaker, she was learning how words could give people hope. “Sometimes the waiting season is not wasted time,” she says. “It may be the season when God is preparing you for something you cannot see yet.” Her body had slowed her down, but her mind remained active. She continued learning, listening, and believing that her life still had meaning. From Unemployment to CEO After nearly 10 years away from the workforce, Judy received an opportunity that few people could have predicted. She was hired as the CEO of an ambulatory outpatient surgery center. The transition was extraordinary. Judy went from being unable to work because of lupus to assuming responsibility for leading a healthcare organization. Her nursing experience gave her an understanding of patient care and the medical profession. Her years of studying motivational leaders helped strengthen her communication and leadership abilities. Her personal experience with illness also gave her a perspective that could not be learned from a textbook. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. She understood healthcare from both sides, as a nurse and as a patient. “Every experience had taught me something,” Judy says. “Even the painful chapters were preparing me for the next opportunity.” Her return to healthcare did not look anything like the future she had originally imagined. She did not go back to bedside nursing. Instead, she returned as an executive responsible for helping guide an entire surgical center. It was an unexpected form of success born from a season that once appeared to hold little promise. Finding Success and Starting Again Judy built a successful career as the CEO of the ambulatory surgery center, but she eventually felt called toward another change. She left healthcare administration and entered real estate sales. Once again, Judy had to rebuild. Real estate required different skills, including marketing, networking, sales, negotiation, and the ability to create trust with clients. Her experience as a nurse and executive helped her communicate effectively, while her personal story enabled her to connect with people facing major life transitions. Today, Judy is a Realtor based in San Luis Obispo County, California. She understands that buying or selling a home is rarely just a financial transaction. It can represent a new beginning, a difficult ending, or an important turning point in someone's life. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Her journey from nursing to healthcare leadership and then real estate demonstrates that a career does not have to follow a straight line to be meaningful. “Starting over does not mean that everything before it was a failure,” Judy says. “It means you are carrying those lessons into a new chapter.” Turning Trials Into Testimonies Judy's experiences eventually led her to motivational and inspirational speaking. As a Christian speaker, she now shares a story marked by illness, heartbreak, resilience, humor, grace, and faith. She speaks at retreats, church conferences, congregations, banquets, networking events, community gatherings, and special-interest groups. Her message centers on trusting God through life's storms and refusing to believe that difficult circumstances represent the end of the story. “God's faithfulness can turn trials into testimonies,” Judy says. “What feels like an ending may actually become the beginning of something you never expected.” Judy does not speak about resilience as an abstract concept. She has experienced the fear of failing health, the grief of losing a career, the frustration of physical limitations, and the uncertainty of spending years outside the workforce. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. She also understands what it means to return, rebuild, and take another risk. Her presentations combine faith, authenticity, transparency, and humor. She encourages audiences to trust God during periods of waiting, believe in His timing, and move forward with renewed strength. The Trauma of Losing a Career A forced career change can create a form of grief that others may not recognize. For Judy, nursing was more than a job. It represented her education, service, professional identity, and ability to care for people. Lupus took that career away before she was ready to leave it. The resulting trauma could have convinced her that her most productive years were behind her. Instead, it eventually became part of the story she now uses to encourage others. Judy's experience offers important lessons for anyone facing chronic illness, an unexpected career change, or a prolonged period of uncertainty: A medical diagnosis may change a person's plans without eliminating their purpose. Time away from work can still be used for learning and personal growth. Skills developed in one career can create opportunities in another. Starting again is not a sign of failure. Success may arrive in a form completely different from the one originally imagined. Her journey shows that limitations can redirect a life without destroying its value. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success The title of Judy's story, Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success, captures the surprising path her life followed. She did not choose lupus. She did not plan to leave nursing or spend nearly 10 years unemployed. She could not have predicted that she would become the CEO of an ambulatory surgery center, enter real estate, or speak to audiences about faith and resilience. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The interview is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major Podcast platforms. Additional articles, and episode information can be shared through Facebook, Instagram, and other Social Media channels. Those opportunities emerged after one chapter of her life appeared to have closed permanently. Today, Judy B-Armstrong is an inspirational Christian speaker, registered nurse, Realtor, mentor, and living example of perseverance. Her story reminds people that success is not always defined by avoiding hardship. Sometimes, it is defined by what a person builds after hardship changes everything.

You probably know that light, noise, temperature and stress can all interfere with your sleep. But what about the moon? Strange as it sounds, some research suggests people really do sleep differently around the time of a full moon — even when they aren't outside looking at it. So what could possibly explain that? Listen as I reveal what researchers have discovered. https://www.self.com/story/full-moon-sleep Most of us know instinctively that music can change how we feel. The right song can calm you down, lift your mood or bring back a memory in an instant. But scientists are discovering that music may do considerably more than that. There is now fascinating research into how music can affect the brain and body and even be used to help treat certain medical conditions. Neuroscientist Daniel Levitin has been following this research for years, and he joins me to explain what we now know about the remarkable connection between music and our health. Dan is author of the book I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine (https://amzn.to/46QoQcE). Technology does so many things for us that we no longer have to do for ourselves. GPS finds our way, search engines remember things for us, and our phones make sure we never have to sit quietly with nothing to do. Convenient? Absolutely. But what happens to the human abilities we stop using? Some surprisingly important skills are beginning to fade from our lives, and losing them may have consequences we haven't considered. Graham Lee joins me to explain which skills are disappearing, why they still matter and what we can do to get them back. He is author of the book Human Being: Reclaim 12 Vital Skills We're Losing to Technology (https://amzn.to/46MP53A). Your brain is not equally good at everything all day long. There are times when you may be better at concentrating, solving problems or doing mentally demanding work — and other times when trying to force it may be an uphill battle. So how do you know when your brain is at its best? Listen as I explain how understanding your brain's natural rhythms can help you decide what to do — and when to do it.

Should you still study engineering when AI can already write code, analyse data and automate parts of an engineer's job?In this solo episode, Neil Ashton gives his view on engineering education and careers in the age of AI. His answer is yes—but the skill set is changing. Neil explains why engineering fundamentals still matter, where AI can act as an enabler, what students and early-career engineers should learn now, and why soft skills, projects and internships may become even more important.Topics include:- Why demand for engineers is likely to remain strong- The engineering tasks most likely to change- AI as an enabler for coding, CAD, CAE and automation- Why domain knowledge is still essential for checking AI's work- What practical AI fluency means beyond using a chat interface- Advice for undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students- How projects, internships and soft skills can help you stand outPodcast archive: https://neilashton.co.uk/podcasts/Chapters:00:00 Podcast intro00:39 The career question in the age of AI03:20 Why engineering demand is still growing04:43 Which engineering tasks AI will change05:21 AI as an engineering enabler09:18 Why fundamentals and domain expertise still matter11:59 AI fluency and the hiring market16:41 Advice for students and researchers20:05 What engineers should study now22:11 Standing out: soft skills, projects and internships25:41 Is engineering still worth it?Resource mentioned:- World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2025 — Skills outlook: https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2025/in-full/3-skills-outlook/Please note that this episode expresses my personal opinion and does not represent the views of NVIDIA.

Learn more (link below) https://www.dalia.co/audit?utm_source=pos About: I'm joined by two leaders who have built careers around one simple idea: great businesses are built by great people. First is Josh Robinson, a transformational executive with more than 20 years of experience leading finance, technology, and business strategy across organizations ranging from $50 million to $7 billion in revenue. Josh is known for building high-performing teams, creating cultures that attract top talent, and helping companies think big, start small, and scale fast. Joining him is Mike Nathan, a Navy veteran, entrepreneur, investor, and startup builder who's helped launch, advise, and invest in more than a dozen companies across industries. From Search & Rescue Swimmer to founder, board member, and operator, Mike believes that business is one of the most powerful vehicles for creating meaningful impact for people and communities. Together, Josh and Mike bring an incredible combination of operational excellence, entrepreneurial grit, and people-first leadership. I'm excited to dive into their journeys, what they've learned building companies and cultures, and where they see the future of work and leadership heading next. Key Takeaways: Not every high performer should become a manager. Companies need meaningful advancement paths for strong individual contributors instead of forcing them into leadership roles they may not want or be equipped for. Leadership is less about having every answer and more about building the right team. Great leaders trust subject-matter experts, ask better questions, and create the conditions for others to execute. Authenticity builds more trust than pretending to know everything. Employees respond better to leaders who admit what they do not know and work alongside the team to find the answer. Conviction can matter as much as competency. Skills may get someone through the interview process, but genuine belief in the company's mission determines whether they will remain committed when things get difficult. A founder's ability to delegate is a critical indicator of scalability. Founders who constantly say “I,” control every decision, and cannot step away will eventually become the bottleneck in their own business. Raising capital should serve a specific goal, not someone's ego. Companies should pursue funding when it accelerates product development, sales, expansion, or a planned exit, not because announcing a major round has become a status symbol. AI is creating the rise of the “Army of One.” Individuals and small teams can now use AI, outsourcing, and personal branding to produce the output and profitability once associated with much larger organizations. Take the “Army of One” seriously, but not literally. AI can dramatically increase individual productivity, but growing companies will still need talented people when complexity, scale, and human connection demand them. Replacing employees with AI is often the wrong strategy. The greater opportunity is to give employees AI tools, remove repetitive work, and redeploy people into more valuable roles that improve service and generate revenue. The professionals who thrive will combine expertise with AI fluency. Human judgment, technical knowledge, and relationship skills will remain valuable, but people who fail to learn how to apply AI within their field risk being left behind.     Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Leadership and Impact 01:43 Personal Leadership Journeys 05:19 The Role of Individual Contributors vs. Leaders 08:12 Evolving Beliefs About Leadership 09:48 Hiring Talent vs. Building Executable Teams 12:44 Evaluating Founders and Their Potential 14:43 Post-Mortem Analysis of Failed Startups 15:52 The Right Time to Raise Capital 17:52 The Army of One Myth and AI's Role 26:51 AI's Impact on Jobs and Company Culture 32:28 The Importance of Human Expertise in a Tech-Driven World 33:16 Hiring for Heart: The Key to Successful Interviews 35:21 Assessing Compatibility: The Role of Personality in Hiring 37:49 Radical Transparency in Leadership and Its Challenges 41:33 Risky Decisions: Career Moments That Changed Everything 45:06 Debunking Business Clichés: What Needs to Die 47:40 AI: Signal or Hype?

You can't learn everything. But which skills are actually worth mastering for advancing your career? The ones worth your time are the soft skills that compound across every role instead of expiring with a single job. Mastering these skills builds the capacity, but it does not tell you which one the people deciding your next move are actually waiting to see from you. See where you stand: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What are the four soft skills worth mastering for your career? The four soft skills worth mastering for a career are prudent communication, learning agility, self-governance, and inward to outward adaptability, chosen because they transfer across roles instead of expiring with one job. Prudent communication is matching your message to the situation, the audience, and the purpose, and pairing it with active listening. Learning agility is learning for mastery rather than recall, including outside your main domain, and organizing what you study like a tree of knowledge where principles are the trunk, useful new insight is the fruit, and distractions are the leaves. Self-governance is directing the only two things you fully control, your actions and your perspectives, through reflective self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Inward to outward adaptability is the recognition that outward flexibility with people and situations holds only once you have built inner resilience first. Key Concepts Prudent communication: Prudent communication is communication that is situationally and personally appropriate, matching your message to the audience, the situation, and the purpose, and reinforced by active listening. Learning agility: Learning agility is the flexibility to learn for mastery rather than recall, including outside your core domain, so you can extract principles that apply across disciplines. The tree of knowledge: The tree of knowledge is a model for prioritizing learning where the trunk is enduring principles, the fruit is useful new insight on old concepts, and the leaves are attractive distractions that deserve the least time. Self-governance: Self-governance is the discipline of controlling the only two things fully within your control, your actions and your perspectives, developed through reflective self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Inward to outward adaptability: Inward to outward adaptability is the principle that adaptability to people and situations on the outside is only reliable once you have built resilience on the inside. If someone on your team keeps mistaking distractions for progress, share this with them and tell them which skill you would start with.   Show notes and free resources: https://CareerRevisionist.com/episode257 Do you want to move up in executive leadership?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter and Post-Gazette insider Ray Fittipaldo break down the Steelers' 28-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night to end the NFL preseason. It seems the Steelers are committed to carrying four quarterbacks into the regular season. Is this the right move for Mike McCarthy's team? What did Drew Allar and Will Howard show in Buffalo? Are either of them pushing Aaron Rodgers or Mason Rudolph? How concerned should we be that DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. didn't see the field at all during preseason? And did Kaden Wetjen cement his roster spot with a punt return touchdown? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailA child wakes up terrified, your nervous system snaps online, and suddenly everyone is exhausted. In this throwback episode from Kids These Days!, we sit down with Australian psychologist Krysten Taprell, known as The Therapist Parent, to share practical, evidence-based tools you can use right in your living room to help kids with nightmares, big feelings, and the daily stress that comes with being a family. Krysten explains a surprisingly simple technique for child nightmares: rewrite the ending of the dream while your child is awake, so their brain rehearses safety and control instead of fear. We also talk about what to say in the middle of the night, why “don't think about it” backfires, and how the same approach can help kids replay tough moments like playground conflicts and try a better ending. If you've been looking for realistic parenting support that does not require perfect timing or endless appointments, this is a strong place to start. From there, we get into gratitude for kids as a true mental health skill, not a one-time question at dinner. Krysten shares why many children get stuck on the same answers and how prompts can help them notice memories, strengths, and challenges they've overcome. We also connect the dots between teaching skills instead of punishing behavior, and why mindfulness for kids helps both children and parents regulate emotions. Krysten breaks down the brain science in plain language, including the vagus nerve, relaxation, and how mindfulness supports the prefrontal cortex so we react less and think more clearly. If you want more tools, Krysten shares where to find her resources, including her website, blogs, and her nightmare book available on Amazon.

What does it look like to assess and treat severe problem behavior when safety concerns have become so significant that a student can no longer participate successfully in their typical school environment? In this episode, Dr. Cory Whelan joins me to discuss his work at Seasons Behavioral Services, where he and Dr. Kara LaCroix have developed an intensive model for assessing and treating dangerous behavior while helping students build the skills they'll need to return to less restrictive settings. Cory brings an unusual perspective to this work. He is dually certified as a speech-language pathologist and behavior analyst, and his career has taken him from challenging school environments in Washington, D.C., to doctoral training at Western New England University, where he worked with Dr. Greg Hanley and became involved in the development and application of practical functional assessment and skill-based treatment approaches. We talk about how Seasons works with students who may be waiting for an out-of-district placement—or whose behavior has become too dangerous for their current educational setting—and what happens during their approximately three-month intensive treatment model. Cory describes how his team uses a universal protocol when students first arrive, with an emphasis on minimizing evocative situations and creating conditions in which students can safely engage with staff before assessment begins. From there, we walk through their approach to caregiver interviews, practical functional assessment, and skill-based treatment. We also spend quite a bit of time discussing something that can sometimes get lost when talking about highly technical treatment procedures: clinical judgment. Cory explains why he trains staff not simply to follow a protocol mechanically, but to continually evaluate what is happening in front of them and make decisions that prioritize the safety and dignity of the person they're serving. We discuss what that looks like when problem behavior occurs unexpectedly, why backing off from a demand isn't necessarily a clinical failure, and how thoughtful decision-making fits within function-based treatment. We also get into some of the nuances of conducting effective functional assessment interviews, including: Building rapport before jumping into questions about problem behavior. Identifying precursors and subtle indicators that a situation is becoming difficult. Asking about activities caregivers or staff may have stopped attempting altogether. Using clinical judgment alongside structured interview tools. What it means when an analysis doesn't produce the behavior you expected to see. Finally, we discuss one of the hardest parts of intensive behavioral treatment: generalization and transition. A student may make tremendous progress in a highly trained treatment environment, but what happens when they move to a school or program with different staff, resources, and contingencies? Cory shares both the successes and limitations they've encountered when trying to support receiving programs and maintain treatment gains across settings. If you're interested in practical functional assessment and skill-based treatment—particularly how these approaches work with severe behavior in real-world clinical and educational environments—I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.

In recent years, a number of golf coaches have made the case that golf improvement doesn't always mean an intent to change your swing. In this episode, Mark and Lou tackle a listener question about balance: when should I focus on a swing change vs taking my current swing and focusing on skill development? Here, the perspectives of a veteran coach and an avid amateur combine to give advice for real-life golf improvement.If you have a question you want covered on the pod, please submit here: https://www.hackitoutgolf.com/contact/Listeners can also leave us a voicemail! https://www.hackitoutgolf.com/voicemail/Where to find us:Mark Crossfield's weekly newsletter: https://www.crossfieldgolf.com/subscribeMark Crossfield on Twitter: https://twitter.com/4golfonlineMark Crossfield on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/4golfonlineLou Stagner's weekly newsletter: https://newsletter.loustagnergolf.com/subscribeLou Stagner on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LouStagnerLou Stagner's new practice app, Window Golf: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/window-golf/id6778014214Greg Chalmers on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GregChalmersPGAThe Hack It Out Golf Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HackItOutGolfSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SUMMARY Most of us move through our days on autopilot, heads down, running our own agenda. The struggling dad at church, the neighbor whose marriage is barely holding on, the single mom wrestling groceries into her car — we walk right past. In Part 7 of the Multipliers series, Jeff reads Chapter 29 of the DadAwesome book and shares an archive clip with Danny Silk about the isolation trap, why control is the wrong tool for fathering, and what a home that resembles heaven actually feels like. Key Takeaways God doesn't watch from the bleachers. He jumps into the mess with us, and He often chooses to answer desperate prayers through ordinary people who are willing to notice and respond. You already have what someone needs. Our Italian angel offered three things any of us can give: time, trust, and troubleshooting. Not more resources — just a willingness to make available what's already in your hands. Interruptions are often God appointments. When someone opens up about their pain, that's not small talk. It's a door opening. Isolation is the enemy's trap for men. Alone, you become master and ruler of your own reality, and that's the fast track to deception. Multiplication requires brotherhood. You cannot control your children — so learn to control yourself. When intimidation or the threat of punishment is the most-used tool in your toolbox, you've built a culture in your home that doesn't resemble heaven. A small yes can get multiplied by 100. A bold prayer for $10,000 became more than $1 million raised for the fatherless across 30 events and over 1,000 men. Quotes "God jumps into our mess with us. He's not watching from the bleachers." (05:35) "Every day we walk past people having their own version of lost in Florence." (06:15) "You don't need more to make a big difference. You've already got what someone desperately needs. You just need to be willing to share it." (11:15) "I'm learning to see struggling people as potential God appointments instead of interruptions." (11:30) "As fathers, we teach our children more through our responses to others' needs than through our lectures about compassion." (12:40) "God takes our small yes and multiplies it into something far bigger than we imagined." (16:45) "The trap of the enemy for men in particular is isolation. Because now you become master and ruler of reality, and that is the fast track to deception." (19:20) — Danny Silk "When the most used tool in my toolbox as a parent is some form of intimidation or the threat of punishment, then I have created a culture in my home that does not resemble heaven." (20:45) — Danny Silk "My Father is much more concerned about my heart connection to Him than He is controlling me." (21:40) — Danny Silk "If you don't learn to control yourself, you are out of control." (22:20) — Danny Silk Action Steps: I. Reflection Name your phase. Childish, young adult, young married, young dad, wise dad — where are you actually living right now? Who have you walked past? Think back over the last month. Who could have used a pause in your care? Take inventory. Time, trust, troubleshooting. Skills, margin, network, resources, lived experience. What do you have that someone else might be desperate for? II. Multiplication Where are you isolated? You will not see a multiplication miracle alone. Name the guys in your foxhole, or admit you need to build that crew. Serve with someone. When a dad needs help with a yard project, bring another dad along. Friendship grows shoulder to shoulder. Find the side door. Pick a date and a challenge rather than "let's just sit and talk." A race, a ride, a project — action is often the side door to a man's heart. III. Activation Pray for a God appointment this week. Stay alert for the person who needs time, generosity, care, or counsel. Let your kids watch. Go out of your way to show compassion within sight of your children. Don't hustle on to the next thing. Run the small yes. Is there something God put on your heart that you keep postponing? What if now is the time? Run it as an experiment — what could it hurt?

What does it take to build a real estate business that consistently produces at a high level—and then find ways to make it even better? In this episode, Jeff Glover sits down with top-producing real estate team leader Erin Ward, recorded live at the 2025 Glover U Live Unreal Retreat in Traverse City, Michigan. Erin, based in Norfolk, Virginia, has been in the real estate industry for 10 years and has built an impressive track record of production and growth. In 2025, Erin sold 163 units and $71 million in volume. At the time of this interview in June 2026, she was already at 89 units sold and $41 million in volume, putting her on pace to surpass her previous year's results. Erin shares why she decided to go through Glover U programs later in her real estate career and, more importantly, where she saw the biggest changes in her business after implementing what she learned. She and Jeff break down her 2025 production, the strategies she's using to grow in 2026, and why she's putting a greater emphasis on developing her skills. The conversation also dives into pricing objections and objection handling, Erin's top sources of business, generating more client reviews, and how Google reviews are becoming increasingly important as AI and search continue to change the way consumers find real estate agents. Erin also discusses the power of agent-to-agent referrals, how she builds those relationships, and why creating a strong referral network can become such an important source of business for top-producing agents. If you're a real estate agent, team leader, broker, or aspiring top producer looking for proven strategies to increase production, improve sales skills, generate more referrals, and build a stronger real estate business, this episode is packed with actionable insights from someone who is actively doing it at a high level.

If you've been feeling stuck, frustrated by inconsistent revenue, or overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing to grow your photography business, this bonus episode is for you. Heather is inviting a group of photographers to join her for a 30-Day Revenue Sprint in September—and the goal is simple: Pick a number. Make a plan. Take action. Adjust based on reality. Finish strong. This isn't a four-week course where you consume more information and walk away with another giant list of things you should be doing. Instead, you'll spend 30 days focused on one thing: generating revenue. You'll choose a specific September revenue goal, work backwards to determine what you'll need to sell, identify where the money could come from, and then take action. And when something doesn't work? You won't spiral. You'll look at the results as data, not drama, figure out where the breakdown happened, make an adjustment, and keep moving. The Sprint includes four calls with Heather, two bonus calls with Nicole Begley focused specifically on offers and pricing, and a private Facebook group where you can stay connected throughout the month. And there's something bigger happening here, too. This is a chance to experience what ongoing business coaching actually looks like: you take action, bring the results, figure out what's next, and keep going—with someone helping you see what you can't always see on your own. If 30 days of this kind of support can change what you believe you're capable of creating, imagine what could happen with that support all year inside Elevate. Key Takeaways: Stop consuming and start creating. More courses and information aren't necessarily what you need. Sometimes you need to take what you already know and put it into action. Choose an actual revenue number. "I want more clients" isn't a measurable goal. Pick a specific number and build backwards from it. Revenue generation is active. Don't sit around waiting for inquiries. Follow up, reach out to past clients, create offers, and look for opportunities to make money. You don't need to know the perfect strategy. Ask yourself: "What am I willing to try?" Your thoughts can come along for the ride. You may immediately think your revenue goal is impossible. You don't have to eliminate those thoughts before taking action. Results are data, not drama. If something doesn't work, don't make it mean your business is failing. Look at the evidence and decide what needs to change. Adjust instead of starting over. More leads? Better follow-up? Stronger offer? Different pricing? The answer is in the data. Don't mentally quit before the month is over. There may still be time and opportunities to create revenue. The real goal is bigger than one month's revenue. You're learning how to intentionally create revenue instead of waiting and hoping that business happens to you. Skills compound. What you learn about generating revenue in September stays with you long after the sprint ends. You don't have to do it alone. The support, accountability, and coaching are part of what makes this experience different. What if you stopped waiting for clients to find you—and learned how to create the revenue you want? What if 30 days of focused action could change what you believe you're capable of? This isn't another course to consume; it's a month to make money, test ideas, learn, and keep moving. Press play, pick your number, and discover what you can create when you stop waiting and start taking action.

Job titles routinely undercount what employees can actually do, especially in fast-moving technical roles.   In this episode, Cory Hymel, Head of Research at Andela, explores why mapping skills instead of roles gives leaders a far more accurate picture of workforce capability and AI readiness.   The conversation covers how continuous skills assessment, rather than one-time training, keeps pace with a technical skill half-life that's now down to two or three years.   This episode is sponsored by Andela.   Learn how select AI vendors reach Fortune 500 decision-makers through Emerj's research and media platforms.

You could be ruining your personal brand without even realizing it. AI can change how you look. Your voice can be replicated. And your captions can sound nothing like you.  And the scary part? You can get so used to seeing the polished version of yourself online that you don't even notice when your brand starts drifting away from who you actually are. In this episode, Emily gets real about what AI, filters, and the pressure to look perfect are doing to personal branding. She calls it “catfish branding”. Because when your online brand doesn't match the person people meet in real life, you create an integrity gap. And that gap can cost you the one thing every personal brand actually needs: trust. Emily talks about what it looks like to build your brand from identity instead of performance, starting with who God created you to be before worrying about how you want to be seen. She also breaks down how easy it is to let trends and algorithms shape your brand until you barely recognize it yourself. Through the Recognition Test and Four Practical Moves, Emily shows you how to bring more of your story and personality back into the way you show up online. Because your personal brand doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be you! What You'll Learn: How AI can make your personal brand more polished, but less trustworthy The simple test that reveals whether your brand is authentic or a “catfish” Why an integrity gap can be a spiritual issue before it becomes a branding problem Four moves to make your brand more human, recognizable, and magnetic What it means to build a brand that reflects who God created you to be  Timestamps: (01:30) - Is AI Turning Your Brand into A Catfish?

He calls it release, align, become, a framework built to break the subconscious programming running your life. It starts with forgiveness. Not the version where you forgive everyone else. The version where you look yourself in the mirror and say I'm sorry first. Your subconscious can't build a life it doesn't believe you deserve. Chase the money or the relationship hard enough without changing the belief underneath it, and it finds a way to hand it back. This episode gets into imposter syndrome in high achievers, the Three Gs of grounding, giving, and gratitude, and the exact prayer Jim uses to settle his own fear. You'll want a mirror by the end of it.
