Podcasts about unlocking human potential

Why might ‘bring your whole self to work' be terrible professional advice, and what should we be thinking about instead? Why does authenticity come into play more now than in previous generations? Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is a professor of business psychology at University College London and Columbia. He is also the author of several books, including Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (and What to Do Instead), Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?: (And How to Fix It), and The Talent Delusion: Why Data, Not Intuition, Is the Key to Unlocking Human Potential, I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique.Greg and Tomas discuss the overemphasis of authenticity in professional and personal settings, the nuanced insights from sociologist Erving Goffman on impression management, and how emotional intelligence often aligns with strategic impression management. Their conversation gets into the impact of AI on human potential and workplace dynamics, as well as the complex interplay between organizational culture and individual behavior, particularly among leaders. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why do people believe authenticity naturally leads to wellbeing and success?03:08: In a world that is obviously not very authentic, pretending that we value authenticity or encouraging people to just be themselves might be quite fitting. I think it's not very authentic advice to tell people, "Oh, just be yourself. Oh, just bring your whole self to work. Oh, don't worry about what people think of you." But then, if somebody is silly or naive enough to follow that advice, the repercussions for them are not very positive.Self-awareness requires paying attention to others13:33: Professional success and personal development and self-awareness can only be achieved if you are receptive to what other people think of you. So, by the way, as I say in the book [DON'T BE YOURSELF], the notion that, I mean, you know, one of the mantras of authenticity or to authenticity advice, which is "ignore what people tell you," ironically,  the advice is trying to tell us how to behave, right? So you cannot ignore what people tell you. And the difference between somebody who has achieved basic emotional maturity and psychological maturity and somebody who still behaves like a child is that the psychologically mature person pays attention to what other people think of themselves, which doesn't mean being a sort of weak, feeble, conformist sheep. It means being a highly functioning member of society, of work, of community, not being trapped in your own narcissistic delusion.How do you achieve self-awareness?12:20: Self-awareness is actually achieved by internalizing the feedback from others from a very, very early age. We learn about ourselves from internalizing or incorporating the feedback we get from others. So your teachers, your aunt, your uncle, your parents, your older siblings, your friends will tell you, you are good at this, you are bad at that, you are funny. And then you understand that you are funny, right? It's obviously problematic if they're lying to you and then you realize, Ooh, outside my family, nobody laughs with my jokes, right? But there's no answer to who we really are. But the best way to understand who we are in the eyes of others is to not be self-centered and to actually be open to feedback. And that's something that people with high emotional intelligence do very well. Show Links:Recommended Resources:Erving GoffmanCore Self-EvaluationsEmotional LaborEmotional IntelligenceSelf-MonitoringElon MuskDavid Bowie360-degree feedbackCharles Horton CooleyDale CarnegieHenry FordJeffrey PfefferPope FrancisRobert HoganMachiavellianismMax PlanckAmos TverskyDaniel KahnemanJohn Maynard KeynesGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University College LondonWebsite | DrTomas.comLinkedIn ProfileWikipedia PageSocial Profile on XGuest Work:Amazon Author PageDon't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (and What to Do Instead)Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?: (And How to Fix It)The Talent Delusion: Why Data, Not Intuition, Is the Key to Unlocking Human PotentialI, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us UniqueConfidence: How Much You Really Need and How to Get ItPersonality and Individual Differences, 3rd EditionThe Future of Recruitment: Using the New Science of Talent Analytics to Get Your Hiring Right (The Future of Work)Personality and Intellectual CompetenceThe Psychology of Personnel SelectionPersonality and Individual DifferencesConfidence: Overcoming Low Self-Esteem, Insecurity, and Self-Doubt Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What strange thing happens when a neuron is left alone? Are there ways to moderate stress and anxiety, and even channel them into productive and helpful signals there to assist you in making good decisions? How can you develop initiative, and what has to change in today's education landscape to accomplish this? Angus Fletcher is a Professor of Story Science at Project Narrative of Ohio State University. He also teaches screenwriting and is a screenwriter, as well as the author of several books including Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Know, Storythinking: The New Science of Narrative Intelligence, and Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature.Greg and Angus discuss the intersection of story science and philosophy, emphasizing the importance of mythos and narrative thinking as opposed to logos, the purely logical, data-driven approaches in areas like decision-making and leadership. Angus outlines how neurophysiology and the brain's natural restlessness contribute to human intelligence and explores the practical applications of narrative cognition in fields ranging from military operations to education and business. He highlights the role of literature in developing imagination, perspective, and emotional intelligence, arguing for its integration into educational systems and other training programs to cultivate better leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why fear and anger are the two most powerful emotions41:50: I worked a long time with operators on this, and we particularly worked on fear and anger because those are our two most powerful emotions. Those are our fight-or-flight responses. Fear is flight, and anger is fight. And you know what is going on there? Well, what is going on there is your brain has a bias to action. Your brain always wants to be doing something. The moment that your brain is sitting still, it feels extremely vulnerable, so it always wants to have a plan. And when your brain experiences a severe threat and it realizes this threat is so new, so different, that it does not have a plan that it has confidence in, it does not know what to do here—that is when your brain starts to feel scared. That is when you feel fear. So the question is, why is fear the emotion that your brain evolved? Why did it not evolve some other emotion, like curiosity or whatever? And the answer is just because fear makes you incredibly susceptible to outside influence. The more scared you are, the smarter other people's suggestions sound.Emotion is the smartest thing in your brain41:06: Emotion is the smartest thing in your brain. If you're not using your emotions, you're severely limiting your intelligence. And the reason that we know emotion is the smartest thing in the brain is it's the oldest form of intelligence in the brain, so it's been keeping you alive for hundreds of millions of years.Stories help us imagine alternatives13:11: When you tell someone a story effectively, it allows them to imagine themselves in that position. And then what they do in that position is they imagine, what could I do? And when that's done effectively, what it allows them to do is imagine alternatives—not just alternatives from what they themselves are doing in their own lives, but alternatives to what the individuals did in that situation.Why modern life produces so much anxiety46:21: Why is it that so many people are experiencing over-anxiety in our modern world? Well, the first thing is that too many people spend their time inside these artificially stable environments where they're just not used to anything being unstable. If you spend all your time in the suburbs, and bananas are always there, even in the middle of the winter when you go to the supermarket and the whatnot, you know, then you're not ever coping or having to engage with even a mild amount of instability or volatility. So the moment you encounter any of it, you immediately freak out and think that something must be wrong.Show Links:Recommended Resources:MythosLogosDaniel KahnemanDual Process TheoryI. A.

In this episode of Say Hi to the Future, host Ken Tencer welcomes Carey-Ann Oestreicher, Executive Coach and CEO of Potential Unlimited, for a conversation about leadership, purpose, and the power of personal awareness.This is not a typical conversation about performance or productivity, it's a reflection on what it truly means to lead from a place of authenticity. Carey-Ann has built a career around helping leaders see beyond metrics and titles to rediscover the human element that fuels growth. Her work invites people to look inward, to question what drives them, what connects them, and how they can bring more intention into their everyday decisions.At its core, this episode is about growth, not the kind that shows up on a balance sheet, but the kind that shapes who we are. It's about the moments that remind us to pause, to listen, and to lead with empathy. Carey-Ann reminds us that leadership begins long before we step into a boardroom. It begins with understanding ourselves, acknowledging our limits, and choosing to move forward with purpose.In a world that often values speed and certainty, this conversation offers stillness and reflection. It's a reminder that leadership isn't about having all the answers, it's about having the courage to ask better questions.

Unlocking potential requires we understand what causes potential to expand and what causes it to contract. Many people don't focus on the condition of human potential nor the role they play in shaping it, even though the health and development of people and their environment are foundational to an organization's competitive advantage and the ability to achieve its business objectives.   In this episode, my guest and I will be discussing answers to some of the most important questions to consider. Our conversation will center around the health and vitality of people and culture and the role win/win practices play in positive outcomes, joy and fulfillment. My guest today is uniquely qualified to discuss this. Not only did she research and write her college thesis on this topic, over the decades since then, she has passionately advocated for the conditions and conversations that create incredible win/win outcomes! Most importantly, I can personally vouch for the fact that my guest walks the talk of creating life-giving conditions and conversations that bring out the best in people. She causes me to commit to be authentic, caring and in service. She has maintained passion about win/win organizational culture because she sees win/win relationships as precious and one of the most important factors needed for success and the actualization of good ideas and people.   Some questions we may cover could include:How did you first become passionate about organizational culture and what about it inspired you most to research it, value it, and write about it?Your artistic background fuels your creativity, and enables you to approach business development and challenges of many kinds with fresh, imaginative solutions. Can you share how you see the intersection of win/win cultures and creativity within people?How can organizations move beyond hierarchical structures to create cultures of shared responsibility and trust?What practical steps can leaders take to foster psychological safety and meaningful connection across teams?How does adopting a win/win culture impact performance, innovation, and employee engagement in measurable ways?What are some examples of systemic change that enable people to operate from purpose, values, and authenticity?You believe in integrating interdisciplinary ideas to inspire positive change. Why is it important to have such an integrated approach designed to result in trusting, innovative collaboration and partnerships?How can we shift our civilization process so that rather than diminish people and demean the human spirit, each person is assisted in expanding into wholeness?What can we do to create a world in which it feels safe to be powerfully influential, inventive, vulnerable, and caring?What does an organization look like in which people thrive rather than simply survive?How do we avoid that which makes us feel and act like victims and rebels and adopt that which makes us feel empowered, lovable, connected, and contributing?As we close this episode, what words of wisdom would you like to leave with our audience?

How can reframing your approach to talent, technology, and learning future-proof your entire organization? In this episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with Steve Cadigan—renowned talent strategist, former LinkedIn VP of Talent, and author of Workquake—to unlock what it means to truly lead in an era where work is being reinvented at lightning speed. Drawing on experience guiding LinkedIn through explosive growth, building world-class cultures, and advising the likes of Google and Harvard, Steve shares a bold blueprint for navigating AI, fostering “career security,” and turning today's workplace challenges into tomorrow's breakthrough opportunities. Steve and Nicole challenge the status quo in how leaders approach AI, talent development, and organizational design. From leveraging AI to unleash human potential (not just cut costs), to building learning-centric cultures that attract and retain top talent—even in a world of short tenures and ever-evolving skills—this is essential listening for leaders ready to thrive in the future of work. Episode Timestamps 0:00 – Career Security vs. Job Security 1:40 – The Promise & Pitfalls of AI 4:10 – Asking Better AI Questions 9:24 – Discovering Hidden Talent 10:14 – Work Trends: Change & Upskilling 13:43 – AI Case Study: Prudential's Approach 16:07 – Rethinking Retention 21:13 – Learning Over Tenure 23:46 – Companies as Learning Hubs 31:14 – Growth Through New Challenges 34:09 – Embracing Experimentation 36:14 – Adaptability & Pandemic Lessons 41:13 – The Human Side of Tech 42:00 – Action Steps for Leaders 10 Key Takeaways Career Security Beats Job Security: The modern workforce values opportunities for growth over the false promise of long-term employment. Leaders that invest in employee learning build true loyalty and adaptability. AI is More Than Automation: Most companies only use AI to cut costs or replace jobs. Its real power lies in redefining work, solving new problems, and unlocking human creativity. Ask the Right Questions: “How can we use AI to rethink our work altogether?” opens far more potential than “How do we do this same process faster?” Hidden Talent Is Everywhere: Most organizations don't know the full extent of their people's skills. AI can help surface and map internal capabilities, opening up new pathways for growth and engagement. Experimentation Over Benchmarks: There are no established playbooks for this new era. Leading organizations experiment constantly—and learn quickly from the results. Retention is Out, “Returnship” is In: Rather than focusing on keeping people forever, forward-thinking companies build relationships that welcome alumni back and track who returns and why. Hire for Learning Agility: Technical skills expire fast; the ability to learn quickly is now the most sought-after trait in hiring and promotion. Break the Boxes: Job titles and prior roles excessively limit talent. When employees' true capabilities are surfaced, internal mobility and innovation soar. The Joy of Newness: Growth, engagement, and breakthrough innovation come from giving employees new challenges—even if they stretch comfort zones (and tenures are short). Reclaiming the Human Side of Tech: Leaders should use AI and digital tools to create more meaningful, joyful work experiences—not just greater efficiency. Ready to future-proof your organization?

A positive and growth-oriented culture provides the context for individuals to flourish. Cultivating a strong individual and collective mindset empowers teams to overcome challenges and achieve more. Next Steps: Reflect on the current talent density within your teams. Are you bringing together the right mix of skills and perspectives? Assess your current company culture.

Introduction: Ever wonder why even the most talented teams sometimes underperform?

Ernesto shares his unique perspective on unlocking team potential, drawing from his experience leading a massive workforce and engaging with top executives. Get ready to rethink how you're building your teams and fostering growth. Summary: In Part 1 of our interview with Ernesto Gomez, we delve into the fundamental question of why so many leaders believe their teams are operating at only half of their potential. Ernesto shares his experience surveying CEOs and their surprising consensus on this issue. We explore the idea that while individual talent is crucial, organizational systems and culture play a significant role in enabling or hindering performance. Ernesto introduces the core concepts that led to his book, "Regrowth," emphasizing the inherent drive for growth in both individuals and organizations and the barriers that can stifle it. Highlights: Discover the surprising statistic Ernesto uncovered from CEOs about their teams' potential. Understand why simply having talented individuals isn't always enough for high performance.

Understanding and addressing systemic issues is crucial for fostering a high-performing environment. Creating the right conditions is essential to help individuals connect with and contribute their full potential. Next Steps: Reflect on your own team's performance and consider if you see a gap between their current output and their potential. Think about any existing organizational processes or structures that might be unintentionally hindering your team's effectiveness.

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we explore the future of work with Heather Jerrehian, diving into the impact of AI on the workforce and why talent viability is crucial for business agility. Heather challenges common misconceptions about AI, emphasising that rather than replacing human workers, AI can make work more human by taking over mundane tasks and allowing employees to focus on high-value, human-centric skills. These "power skills"—like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence—will become even more essential as AI adoption grows. We also discuss how leaders can ease AI-related fears through effective change management and by actively involving employees in conversations about AI's role in their work. Heather highlights the importance of talent visibility, showing how understanding workforce capabilities can drive better business agility. Heather also cautions leaders to navigate common pitfalls, including the need for ethical AI governance and responsible implementation.

Today, we're diving into the profound connection between human potential and the natural world. Whether you're a city dweller longing for greenery or a nature enthusiast seeking deeper insights, this episode will inspire you to harness the transformative power of nature. Have you ever noticed how a walk in the park or time spent at the beach seems to clear your mind and energize your spirit? It's not just in your head—science backs this up. Research shows that spending time in nature can enhance creativity, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function. A study from Stanford University found that walking in natural environments can decrease negative thinking patterns and boost overall mental well-being. Meanwhile, Japanese forest bathing, or “Shinrin-yoku,” has been linked to reduced cortisol levels and a stronger immune system. It's clear that nature isn't just a backdrop; it's a catalyst for unlocking our full potential. Ready to experience the benefits of nature for yourself? Here are five simple ways to integrate the natural world into your life: Start Small: Take a 10-minute walk outside daily, even if it's just around your neighborhood. Green Your Space: Add plants to your home or office for a touch of nature's calming presence. Digital Detox Outdoors: Leave your devices behind and focus on your surroundings during outdoor activities. Explore Local Parks: Find a nearby park or trail and make it your go-to spot for reflection and relaxation. Try Earthing: Walk barefoot on grass, sand, or soil to reconnect with the earth's energy.   Nature is more than a place; it's a partner in our journey toward self-discovery and growth. When we reconnect with the natural world, we rediscover ourselves. So, whether you're climbing mountains or simply enjoying a sunset, remember: nature is your ally in unlocking your limitless potential.

Cristina is a pioneer in the world of sports psychology and the president of the San Diego University for Integrative Studies. She is renowned for her work mentoring athletes, executives, and high performers using an innovative approach to performance and personal growth.In this conversation, we discuss how Cristina's near-death experience shaped her perspective on growth and resilience, how she teaches her students using a “business-minded” approach, and so much more. We are all navigating challenges – whether it's anxiety, grief, financial challenges or simply the pressure to perform. Cristina offers a refreshing perspective that's grounded in integrative psychology. I'm really excited for you to learn from her insights…. And to learn a bit more about me along the way.

In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, I'm joined once again by Dr. James Hewitt, a pioneering human performance scientist and thought leader in high-performance and well-being. Known for his work with Formula 1 teams, Fortune 500 companies, and endurance athletes, James combines insights from neuroscience, psychology, and sports science to offer practical strategies for sustainable peak performance. In this brilliant conversation, we explore what it truly means to "major in the minors" and how many high performers lose sight of core fundamentals in pursuit of the next best thing. We dive into the foundation of self-determination theory, focusing on autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and why these elements are critical for motivation. James also discusses concepts like Chronotype Bias, the impact of character strengths, and the importance of self-compassion and socialization on performance and overall well-being. James shares fascinating insights on avoiding "precision bias" and how influencers often use it to sound more credible, sometimes leading people down unproductive paths. We touch on integrating well-being with business success, the role of endurance principles in corporate environments, and new trends in human performance science. Whether you're a leader, athlete, or simply looking to improve your life, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you thrive in all aspects. Don't miss out on this valuable discussion that will leave you rethinking what it takes to reach your full potential!

Michael Clark data scholar and futurist joins The Futurists this week to talk the critical misalignment of our global data infrastructure when it comes to AI and the future of the planet. He argues that data is more valuable than water, more valuable than money but can't be just an asset used by corporations, that it must be owned but each individual from cradle to grave. How?
