This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereAs the auto industry faces a new wave of uncertainty—tariffs shifting daily, global instability, and mounting supply chain questions—leaders are under pressure to act fast. For many, that means retreating into old habits, tightening control, and centralizing decisions. But Jan challenges leaders to do the opposite.She knows it's tempting. In a crisis, the structure feels safe. But Jan argues that the real power lies in authentic leadership—especially now. That means staying true to your values, trusting your people, and letting go of micromanagement.Just look at General Motors. While the industry expected GM to return to its old ways during the crisis, it didn't. Instead, the company focused on stronger supplier relationships and open communication. It worked. GM earned its highest supplier trust score in 25 years.Then there's Stellantis. After years under Carlos Tavares' top-down approach, leadership is shifting. Antonio Filosa is already building relationships—with suppliers, dealers, and unions. It's a clear sign that even the biggest players are moving toward people-first leadership.Jan's message is clear: the future of leadership in this industry isn't about control—it's about connection. If you're leading a team right now, take this moment to ask yourself: Are you leading with fear or with trust?Because in the end, how you lead through the crisis will define what kind of organization—and culture—you build coming out of it.Themes discussed in this episode:Why crises often push leaders back into command-and-control—and why that's a mistakeWhy command-and-control leadership is failing in today's rapidly changing auto industryHow authentic leadership creates faster, more sustainable results during uncertaintyThe importance of trusting your team instead of micromanaging themThe hard truth about outdated leadership models and why they hold companies backHow General Motors improved supplier relationships by leaning into empowerment and transparencyHow Stellantis is moving away from fear-based leadership with new CEO Antonio FilosaYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Bobby Bosler shares a powerful testimony of faith in action. From navigating unexpected obstacles in purchasing a new trailer to trusting God in uncertain circumstances, he illustrates the importance of stepping out in faith before seeing the miracle. Using the example of the Israelites crossing the Jordan River, Bobby challenges listeners to take bold steps of obedience and trust God to show up in their lives.Topics DiscussedOvercoming anxiety when facing big decisionsThe journey of trying to purchase a new trailer and God's clear directionTrusting God in the face of financial uncertaintyThe principle of taking a step of faith before seeing the solutionBiblical encouragement from Joshua 3 and the story of the Jordan River crossingThe dangers of waiting too long for a sign instead of stepping out in obedienceKey TakeawaysFaith often requires action before assurance. God asks us to move forward before He parts the waters.Sometimes God's answer is "no" to what we think we need, but His redirection brings greater peace.Trusting God doesn't mean ignoring wisdom, but it does mean stepping forward even when we can't see the whole path.Fear and anxiety can paralyze us, but choosing to obey God leads to His provision and guidance.If you're feeling stuck or uncertain, take a step toward what you believe God is leading you to do—and trust Him to make the way clear.

Their mission? To provide essential supplies, warm meals, and a glimmer of hope to people experiencing homelessness in Dublin City.This initiative started as a simple idea when founder Brandon O'Connor (I while in Transition Year) arranged a sleep out to support his mum, who experienced homelessness and addiction. It was sparked by the desire to make a difference. now six years on with 20 volunteers strong, the DHA is going from strength to strength.Navigating Danger and UncertaintyThe streets of Dublin city at night can be unpredictable and dangerous, but these young heroes don't flinch. They've faced challenges ranging from inclement weather to tense encounters, yet their resolve remains unshaken. Building Bridges, Not Just Giving AidThis isn't just about handing out blankets or food; it's about creating human connections. They listen to stories, provide encouragement, and, perhaps most importantly, remind people they are not forgotten.Why Their Work MattersHomelessness is a complex issue often reduced to stereotypes or ignored altogether.

What if spending a few minutes each day touching a plant or staring into space could change your life? Paloma Medina has seen it happen—and tells us why it's the first step toward radical, equitable change. Paloma Medina is a management trainer, public speaker, coach, and entrepreneur who uses neuropsychology to help leaders develop more inclusive and equitable practices. She joins us to talk about trading cortisol addiction for life-affirming productivity, the power of tracking equity metrics on your team, and why she recommends everyone spend 5 minutes a day doing nothing.Inclusion is a sense of belonging. It is how we pick up signals from others that we are valued, liked, that we belong. That we have friends, that we've got people on our side. A ton of the work that I did in the beginning in researching equity and inclusion and how it intersected with the kind of manager trainer I could be was realizing there is all this neuropsychological research that shows that belonging is this absolute core need. Humans are wired to scan for it, protect it, and freak out fully if there's any threat to their inclusion.—Paloma Medina, management trainerWe talk about:How the neuropsychology of productivity relates to equity and inclusionHow to transition away from hustle culture and into life-affirming productivityThe difference between equity and inclusion How leadership can use the three E's of professional development to combat bias in the workplace: education, exposure, and experience How closing down Paloma's retail store,  11:11 Supply, helped her find a renewed sense of self-worth in the midst of uncertaintyThe power and protest of doing nothingThe BICEPS model of core needsPlus: in this week's You've Got This, Sara shares a post from Desiree Adaway on the connection between overwork and white supremacy: “White supremacy knows that when we're exhausted, we remain obedient. And when we're overworked, we tend to stay quiet.” For more on this topic, head on over to https://www.activevoicehq.com/podcast.Links:Paloma MedinaThe BICEPS modelThe Insight AllianceSense of Urgency Keeps Us DisconnectedActive Voice

Get a sneak peek into a chapter of my newest book, Straighten Your Crown, and how I have learned to embrace the unpredictability of life with an adventurous, open and light spirit, and how you can too.   In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, I'm giving you a sneak peak like I've never done before. You'll hear one of my favorite chapters of my newest book Straighten Your Crown: Rediscovering that You are Seen, You Matter, and the King Delights in YouMy favorite thoughts that I go to when finding myself in a place of uncertaintyThe affirmations I use when I feel overwhelmed with the unknown or life that feels out of my control   SNEAK PEAK TO THE AUDIOBOOK Chapter 6: Discovering Delight in the Unknown[INSERT IMAGE OF BOOK "BUY NOW" HERE and link to:https://www.amazon.com/Straighten-Your-Crown-Rediscovering-Delights/dp/0578943298/ref=sr_1_2?crid=9H7DZQLZ3ETY&dchild=1&keywords=straighten+your+crown+trish+blackwell&qid=1631396746&sr=8-2]   REVIEW OF THE WEEK: Anointed, refreshing! 5-Stars -boisanadarapsan I recently heard Trish read one of her one star reviews in which someone said that the podcast was "basic" and that Trish was not a psychologist so maybe she should not be teaching on these things. I could not disagree more. I am a marriage and family therapist, and even though I am a professional in the mental health field, I can tell you for a fact that Trish has amazingly FRESH insightful ways of presenting information that will change your life. It's not so much about education…don't get me wrong, it's important, sure - but I can tell you from being in the field in a formal capacity that the most likely predictor of someone actually changing/growing is the connection they have with the therapist, not how "trained" they are. So when I relate that to Trish, the relationship we listeners have with her as a podcaster has so much to do with her God-given anointing in the way that she teaches and her God-given **amazing personality!!!** Some of the most influential and best teachers of all time had no formal training. When God anoints you, that is what matters!!! "God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called.!" If God's hand is on you nothing is going to stop you and his hand is clearly on Trish. I adore your personality Trish, I am a faithful listener, you are so amazing and I learn from you all the time! Keep up the amazing calling God has put on your life. You are a blessing to so many, myself included! We love you. God bless you.   SPONSORSHIP NOTE: BETTERHELP Is there something interfering with your happiness?

Why change is hard. I could give a short answer and say that it is because you have to work with people. Why are people so hard to deal with in making a change? It comes down to two things hard for people to deal with. 1. UncertaintyThe human mind doesn't like uncertainty. It likes order and bases decisions on previous experiences. Which of these options gives you the most anxiety? I am going to re-design your job. I am definitely going to re-design your job. I might or might not re-design your job. In the first two scenarios, you know that something will happen. In the last scenario, you are unsure. That causes worry and anxiety. Jack Nitsche a professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin states “Uncertainty lays the groundwork for anxiety because anxiety is always future-oriented. The human brain has the capacity to imagine all the worst things that can happen.” The more uncertainty there is the more your mind will fixate on the worst-case scenario. I suggest companies use a “no-layoff clause” because of Lean activities when they communicate with the workforce about a Lean transformation. Even if someone's work may change, they will still be employed, and this helps ease worst-case scenario thinking. 2. StruggleHave you been working in a part of the business that you know very well and can do your work without thinking too about how to do your work? Because of a Rapid Improvement Event, you now have to operate as a member of a larger team or as part of a cell. Your work is changing. You're asked to do things differently. This will require you to struggle for a bit until you learn the new methods. People like to stay in their comfort zones. We all do. Moving out of our comfort zone is where real improvement takes place, but you will also struggle for a while until you get good at the new activity. That's okay. Realize anyone who is a master was once a disaster. I can remember years ago working with Stryker Medical and we developed a flow line that would increase the output of a product considerably. After the changes were made, there was an employee who was visibly upset as we moved to an assembly line process. Tears were involved. She thought I was an evil person for guiding this change. Two weeks later when I visited the company, she was all smiles. She was back to her happy self. She even gave me a hug when I was ready to leave at the end of the week. She was proud of the attention that the new line was receiving. She was able to train others in the process. She had time to work through the struggle. It's important as the company makes changes to develop a ramp-up period for success. Realize that people will struggle until they get used to the new job duties. Develop job aids and standard work for employees to follow to ease the transition. Conduct daily improvement meetings to gather feedback from employees impacted by the change. Work with them to gather their ideas to make even more improvements in the new process. Listen to their concerns and act upon them. Employees have to know that their concerns are being heard and acted upon. Use tools like a continuous improvement action item list and place it in their work area so they know their concerns are being addressed. If you work hard to remove uncertainty and help team members through their struggle, your change efforts will be much more successful! As always, it's an honor to serve you and I hope this helps you and your organization get a little bit better today. http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1499224100 (Rate and Review Here) More show notes are https://americanlean.com/blog/two-reasons-why-change-is-hard/ (here) https://americanlean.com/contact/ (Schedule a free 1/2 call) with Tom Reed.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1645162818 (Buy) the Lean Game Plan Follow me on...
