ในโลกของการเป็นผู้นำที่เปลี่ยนแปลงอย่างรวดเร็ว Self-reflection หรือ การสะท้อนคิดกับตัวเอง กลายเป็นหนึ่งในทักษะที่ทรงพลังที่สุดที่ผู้นำยุคใหม่จำเป็นต้องมี เพราะไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องของการมองย้อนอดีตเท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นกระบวนการที่ช่วยให้เราเข้าใจตัวเองอย่างลึกซึ้ง มองเห็นจุดแข็ง จุดอ่อน รวมถึง "สิ่งที่เราอาจยังไม่รู้ว่าเราไม่รู้" พอดแคสต์ตอนนี้จะพาไปสำรวจว่า Self-reflection คืออะไร ทำไมจึงเป็น "กระจกเงา" ที่สำคัญสำหรับผู้นำ และจะช่วยให้เรา เรียนรู้ — ลืมสิ่งที่ควรลืม (Unlearn) — และเรียนรู้ใหม่ (Relearn) อย่างไร รวมถึงช่วยลดอคติ (Bias) ที่อาจแฝงอยู่ในการตัดสินใจในแต่ละวัน ✦ Key Learnings 1. Self-reflection คือกระบวนการทบทวนความคิด ความรู้สึก และการกระทำของตัวเอง เพื่อสร้างความตระหนักรู้ (Self-awareness) และนำไปสู่การพัฒนาทักษะการเป็นผู้นำอย่างยั่งยืน 2. Self-reflection ช่วยเพิ่มทักษะการเรียนรู้แบบ Unlearn และ Relearn ผู้นำที่มีทักษะการสะท้อนคิดจะสามารถแยกแยะได้ว่าสิ่งใดที่ควร "ปล่อยวาง" หรือ "เรียนรู้ใหม่" 3. การสะท้อนคิดช่วยให้ผู้นำตระหนักถึงอคติส่วนตัว และกรอบความคิดที่อาจบิดเบือนมุมมอง ช่วยให้ตัดสินใจได้อย่างเป็นกลาง รอบคอบ และมีเหตุผลมากขึ้น ส่งผลต่อความน่าเชื่อถือและความไว้วางใจจากทีม

Send us a textWendy Dixon-Jewitt is on a mission. As the founder and CEO of Brainstorm Soft Skill Solutions, she strongly advocates for creating safer and more sustainable nursing workplaces, and her passion is unmistakable. Early in her career, Wendy encountered a toxic nursing culture, which she described as "100% responsibility with zero authority to get the necessary tasks done." It's alarming to think about how many nurses have left the profession due to such circumstances. But Wendy did not walk away; instead, she pivoted her focus toward developing her soft skills.Wendy describes soft skills as “everything that happens in the space between people.” She believes one-on-one interactions are where we will transform healthcare. It's about nurses showing up. And it's not easy to show up, to speak up. After all, nurses are as she believes, “dealing with hierarchies, power infrastructures, and oppression and they are taking a risk every time they open their mouth.” Wendy knows some of her views are controversial but maybe that's what the nursing profession needs; a little controversy to shake things up. Through her leadership and training, she is determined to help us find our voice. Wendy developed Universal Precautions for Emotional Dysregulation—a proactive, skills-based framework for reducing the risk of verbal abuse, emotional harm, and professional burnout. Brilliant. We're talking de-escalation, boundary-setting, and building team resilience. And unlike myself, Wendy doesn't believe resilience is a four-letter word and I might be coming around to her point of view.In the five-minute snippet: sounds like her hometown is straight out of X-files.

Yamina Hakem est experte en business intelligence appliquée à la pharma, fondatrice de GlobalReach BI, et elle accompagne les industriels de santé dans la structuration de leurs données. Elle connaît les promesses de l'IA… et les angles morts. Dans cet épisode, on parle essais cliniques, prédiction des maladies, biais algorithmiques et compétences humaines.À retenir dans cet épisode :- L'IA transforme les essais cliniques en modélisant les profils de patients- Les biais dans les données d'entraînement peuvent fausser les résultats- L'IA n'est pas autonome : elle exécute des consignes humaines- La data de santé est souvent mal structurée et sous-exploitée- L'adoption de l'IA nécessite des compétences hybrides (data + métier)- Il faut des référentiels éthiques clairs pour encadrer l'innovation- La transparence des modèles est une condition de confiance- Les jeunes talents ont un rôle à jouer dans la régulation- L'IA interroge la responsabilité des acteurs : qui décide, qui valide ?- L'intelligence artificielle est un outil, pas une stratégieUn épisode qui remet les pieds sur terre : oui, l'IA a un potentiel énorme dans la santé. Mais il faut des garde-fous, du bon sens, et une exigence collective pour ne pas soigner… à l'aveugle.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

"Responsible AI" หรือ "AI ที่มีความรับผิดชอบ (ต่อมนุษย์และสังคม)" เป็นแนวทางและหลักการในการออกแบบ พัฒนา และประยุกต์ใช้ระบบ AI โดยคำนึงถึง ผลกระทบทางจริยธรรม สังคม และกฎหมาย เพื่อก่อให้เกิดประโยชน์สูงสุด และลดความเสี่ยงที่อาจเกิดขึ้นกับมนุษย์และสังคม ดังนั้นการเข้าใจและใส่ใจในการใช้ AI จึงเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญสำหรับองค์กรในยุคปัจจุบัน ✦ Key Takeaways: เพราะ AI เรียนรู้จากข้อมูล หากข้อมูลที่ใช้สอนมีอคติแฝงอยู่ AI ก็อาจตัดสินใจอย่างไม่เป็นธรรม (มี BIAS) หรือเลือกปฏิบัติต่อกลุ่มคนบางกลุ่มได้ นำไปสู่การขาดความโปร่งใสของระบบ AI บางประเภท มีกระบวนการทำงานที่ซับซ้อน ทำให้การตรวจสอบและแก้ไขข้อผิดพลาดเป็นไปได้ยาก สืบเนื่องมาจากปัญหาความเป็นส่วนตัวที่ระบบ AI มักต้องการข้อมูลจำนวนมากในการเรียนรู้และทำงาน ดังนั้น การรวบรวม จัดเก็บ และใช้ข้อมูลส่วนบุคคลอย่างไม่ระมัดระวังอาจ นำไปสู่การละเมิดความเป็นส่วนตัวได้ ดังนั้นการใช้ AI จึงควรมีความรับผิดชอบด้วยหลักการตามนี้ 1. ความเป็นธรรม: ออกแบบและประเมิน AI เพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงอคติที่ไม่พึงประสงค์ และ ปฏิบัติต่อผู้คนทุกกลุ่มอย่างเท่าเทียมกัน 2. ความโปร่งใสและอธิบายได้: ทำให้สามารถเข้าใจและอธิบายกระบวนการตัดสินใจ ของ AI ได้ เพื่อให้สามารถตรวจสอบ ทำความเข้าใจ และไว้วางใจในระบบ 3. ความรับผิดชอบ: กำหนดให้มีผู้รับผิดชอบในการออกแบบ พัฒนา และผลลัพธ์ที่ เกิดจากการทำงานของ AI อย่างชัดเจน รวมถึงมีกลไกในการตรวจสอบและแก้ไข เมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด 4. ความเป็นส่วนตัว: เคารพและปกป้องข้อมูลส่วนบุคคลของผู้ใช้ตลอดวงจรชีวิตของ ระบบ AI ตั้งแต่การเก็บรวบรวมไปจนถึงการทำลายข้อมูล 5. ความปลอดภัยและความมั่นคง: ออกแบบระบบ AI ให้มีความทนทานต่อการถูก โจมตีทางไซเบอร์ และมีกลไกป้องกันเพื่อลดความเสี่ยงที่จะก่อให้เกิดอันตรายต่อ ผู้ใช้หรือสาธารณะ 6. ความน่าเชื่อถือและความทนทาน: พัฒนา AI ให้ทำงานได้อย่างถูกต้อง แม่นยำ สม่ำเสมอ และสามารถรับมือกับสถานการณ์ที่ไม่คาดฝันได้ 7. การมีมนุษย์เป็นศูนย์กลางและเป็นประโยชน์ต่อสังคม: ออกแบบระบบ AI โดย คำนึงถึงคุณค่า สิทธิ และความเป็นอยู่ที่ดีของมนุษย์เป็นหลัก และมุ่งเน้นให้ AI สร้างประโยชน์ให้กับสังคมโดยรวม จะเห็นได้ว่าความรับผิดชอบเป็นสิ่งสำคัญ เพราะเมื่อ AI นั้นทำงานผิดพลาดและก่อให้เกิดความเสียหายจะเกิดคำถามว่าใครคือผู้รับผิดชอบ ซึ่งอาจเป็นเรื่องซับซ้อนในการระบุตัวตน ดังนั้นจึงควรมีการออกแบบตั้งแต่ต้นด้วยความใส่ใจ เพราะ AI ไม่ใช่เรื่องเฉพาะบุคคลแต่เป็นเรื่องของทุกคน

In this episode of Owned and Operated, we shift focus to a critical yet often overlooked pillar of business success: leadership development and management training. With insights from Amir of Snowball Industries, we dig into how identifying and nurturing potential leaders is foundational to scaling tier two and tier three service businesses.The discussion explores the evolution from technical expertise to soft skills as the driving force behind effective leadership. We unpack the core values that matter most—empathy, urgency, financial intelligence, and humility—and how they shape team culture, performance, and long-term growth. John and Amir also examine structured training programs, peer learning opportunities, and practical management tools that enable owners and operators to build sustainable, high-performance teams.For anyone acquiring or operating in remote and niche sectors like HVAC or turf installation, this conversation delivers actionable insight into creating a leadership framework that fuels operational excellence and employee retention.

DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint I promise that I'm not adding "one more thing" to your to-do list. But, the summer typically means a bit of a break from academics for homeschool families. The curriculum is great, but if you child is not prepared for the world when they step out on their own, they'll have a lot of catching up to do, no matter what level of math they achieved, the science experiments you did, or the classic books they've read. Don't get me wrong, those things are fine. But, there is more to life than book knowledge. There is real life where they'll need to know how to interact, get along with, and function well with others, if for no other reason than for their Christian witness. I'm hoping you have a little more brain space with your usual routine set aside for the summer to focus on teaching and growing soft skills in your homeschooler of any age. I've got a lot of ideas for you...pick 1 or 2 that seem the most important and see how you can be intentional this summer! ♥ Leigh LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS: https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome Website - https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter - https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com Listen to these related episodes: 131.

To be a great finance leader, one needs to have both hard and soft skills. Today's guest believes in running towards the hard market, asking dumb questions, and showing up as your whole self at work. Craig Conti is the EVP and CFO of Verra Mobility, the almost $900 million in revenue, publicly-traded company that is responsible for the silent infrastructure behind seamless tolling, traffic enforcement, and smart mobility. Apart from providing a visual breakdown of his approach to mitigating risk, he shares a wealth of wisdom from his years in finance.

From why kindness is the best lesson she's learned in her career, to the odd comfort she gets from even numbers, Gnome shares stories with humour and heart. We talk about the ideas she's proud of (even the ones that never made it), her unexpected Joe Pasquale impression, and why her sock drawer is so meticulously organised it includes a single, unwearable pair. Gnome also opens up about sleep struggles, audiobook obsessions, and what she'd like to see from future male role models. Her answer? Less bravado, more empathy. This is a warm, thoughtful episode that celebrates quirks, creativity, and the quiet power of simply being kind. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.

CTO Series: Jussi Mononen on the Human Side of Software Development and Technical Leadership In this CTO Series episode, we explore the intersection of technology and people with Jussi Mononen, CTO of CarbonLink. Drawing from his extensive experience as an Agile practitioner and technical leader, Jussi shares valuable insights on effective software development, technical strategy alignment, and the critical human elements that drive successful technology implementations. The Transformative Power of Agile "It's all about people." Jussi's journey as a technology leader was fundamentally shaped when he discovered Agile methodologies. Coming from a background of waterfall-like approaches to software development, the introduction of Agile principles opened up a broader perspective that transformed his view of the profession. What began as technical work creating billing software evolved into a deeper understanding of the collaboration challenges in problem-solving. This shift helped Jussi develop a more humanistic and holistic approach to software development, recognizing that the human dynamics are often more complex than the technical challenges themselves. Every line of code eventually becomes a liability, as software is maintained over decades Software is only truly "done" when you remove the plug and it no longer exists Direct communication with customers is essential for understanding the real problems that need solving Balancing Technical Strategy with Business Needs "Be careful what you choose in terms of technology as you need to maintain it forever—hopefully." Creating a technical strategy that aligns with business objectives while remaining adaptable requires careful consideration of both immediate and long-term factors. Jussi emphasizes the importance of considering maintainability over a decade-long horizon while organizing technology stacks that don't limit organizational agility. When selecting technologies, consider whether you can find people already familiar with your tech stack Evaluate whether your technology choices allow you to fulfill the responsibilities your customers pay you to handle Be prepared to abandon technologies that aren't working, despite the sunk cost Structure your technical organization to maximize speed and adaptability Fostering Collaboration Between Tech and Business "It's not about 'who wins,' it's about making good decisions." Effective collaboration between technical and business units is built on foundations of respect and trust. As a self-described optimist about humanity, Jussi approaches cross-functional work by giving respect to colleagues and trusting them to make sound decisions within their domains of expertise. Listen carefully to people and make a genuine effort to understand their perspectives Focus on making well-considered decisions rather than striving for theoretical "best" decisions Remember that people develop software, not processes or tools—maximize each team member's potential Create environments where differing viewpoints are valued as inputs to better decision-making Strategic Roadmapping and Adaptability "We constantly seek information about what might be changing." Maintaining a clear vision of the future while remaining adaptable is a critical balancing act for technology leaders. Jussi's approach involves maintaining a rolling two-quarter roadmap that provides directional clarity while incorporating new information and signals from various sources. Review and revise roadmaps weekly to incorporate new information Use tools like Trello to maintain lists of priorities and possibilities Actively seek diverse signals about changing requirements and technologies Use the roadmap to communicate investment priorities to stakeholders like the board Overcoming Complex Technical Challenges "Someone needs to give enough love to the items in the backlog." The most significant challenge in Jussi's career came during a 4.5-year project reimplementing critical university systems that had been in use for over 20 years. This complex undertaking highlighted the importance of people skills alongside technical capabilities when managing diverse stakeholders with conflicting needs. Be prepared to handle conflicting needs and requirements from different stakeholders Establish a shared direction before attempting to solve detailed technical challenges Recognize that many critical challenges in large projects are about people, not technology Give proper attention to backlog items to ensure they receive the consideration they deserve Leadership Philosophy and Learning "Choose the context more accurately. Involve yourself with people you look up to." Rather than pointing to a single book that influenced his approach to technical leadership, Jussi emphasizes the importance of context and learning from those around you. His leadership philosophy centers on carefully selecting environments with admirable people and absorbing knowledge through direct experience and observation. Understand the specific context you're operating in before applying generic principles Surround yourself with people whose approach and values you respect Learn continuously from the practical experiences of peers and colleagues About Jussi Mononen Jussi is a problem solver, programmer and business-to-technology translator. People side of software systems development, as he often says: "it's all about people".He has both tech and people street cred, being a long time Agile practitioner, and now the CTO of a promising scale-up in Helsinki: CarbonLink.

This significant development represents a deliberate effort to bring corrections expertise into an organization that has traditionally focused on law enforcement training. Through panel discussions and networking at the ILEETA conference, Cantrell helped identify critical training needs in corrections, including leadership and Correctional Training Officer (CTO) development, specifically designed for correctional environments and based on a new CTE (Coach - Train - Evaluate).At the heart of this episode is Cantrell's compelling discussion of his upcoming book on emotional intelligence and soft skills. He shares how his perspective transformed after hearing these capabilities described as "superpowers" rather than merely empathetic exercises. Through personal stories and practical examples, Cantrell breaks down the four components of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Cantrell challenges listeners to recognize that every correctional officer is a leader who can positively influence workplace culture.
