Today's guest is Narayan Subramanian. Under the Biden administration, he was a legal advisor, and then an advisor to the Secretary at the Department of Energy (DOE). Later, he was the Director for Energy Transition at the White House National Security Council.We've talked to previous guests about how to ensure government money flows fast and effectively. At the DOE, Subramanian helped ensure that a big influx of money could best be used to support innovative energy projects. If you've followed Statecraft a while, you know we're very interested in how to actually deploy taxpayer dollars most effectively. Narayan played a key role in making sure that DOE could do just that.We Discuss:* How the DOE took its modern form* Why don't tools for funding R&D work for funding deployment?* Does the federal interest in IP stop banks from supporting new tech?* What kinds of technologies can you support with “other transactions authority”?The full transcript is available at www.statecraft.pub.

Western coaching models weren't built for African leaders. So Nankhonde Kasonde, a Zambian international development as well as a leadership development specialist and certified coach, created something that was.Nankhonde's Bio:Nankhonde Kasonde is a Zambian international development specialist, certified leadership coach, and the founder of Zanga, an African leadership assessment and HR analytics company.As a leadership coach, Nankhonde recognized that African leaders need a coaching framework rooted in African national, regional, and continental values—rather than Western models that do not align with the cultural realities of high-context societies like Zambia.In high-context cultures, such as those in parts of Africa, China, and Japan, communication is often layered and indirect, relying on shared understanding, relationships, and cultural norms. This contrasts with low-context cultures, where communication tends to be more explicit and direct, as seen in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States (for example). Recognizing this fundamental difference, Nankhonde developed a coaching framework tailored to African leadership, built on five key cultural dimensions: belief, pride, community, loyalty, and respect.Through Zanga, she provides African-grounded leadership coaching, self- and 360-degree assessments, and HR analytics that support talent management and organizational development. Her work aims to reshape leadership development in Africa by integrating culturally relevant coaching methodologies that truly resonate with African leaders.We Discuss:How did Nankhonde come to conclude that the Western approaches to coaching were not sufficiently helpful for African clients or tailored to their needs? In what ways were these coaching approaches not culturally appropriate?How did Nankhonde set out to develop your new coaching framework?What are the components of Nankhonde's coaching framework for African clients and how it is different from Western or  North-founded frameworks?Where does this coaching model diverge from Western ones?Resources:Zanga's LinkedIn pageNankhonde's LinkedIn pageZanga's websiteClick here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want to talk about your social sector organization's needs, challenges, and opportunities.You can find Tosca's content by following her on her social media channels: LinkedIn  Facebook

There's a train of thought that says all consultants are in sales. Maybe. But there is definitely a change in bizdev as you progress from Analyst to Partner. Making the transition from a delivery-focused consulting role to one that requires business development can feel like stepping into an entirely new career, especially when you haven't spent years cultivating relationships with potential buyers. Developing the skills to identify opportunities, build meaningful client relationships, and contribute to sales requires a different mindset and approach that many consultants find challenging to navigate. Oh and your performance appraisal increasingly depends on what work you can bring in. Deep in the ol' Reddit r/Consulting forum, I found a post by a newly promoted consultant who now faced the prospect of needing to sell. So of course we talked about it on the show... We Discuss: How do you begin to build relationships with potential buyers when you haven't had much opportunity to create those connections until now? Is business development and relationship building a learned skill, or do you need natural EQ/people skills to succeed? When using social media (particularly LinkedIn) for business development, is it enough to simply engage and comment, or do you need to develop unique perspectives and content? How do you navigate the transition from being a technical/delivery expert to becoming more of a trusted advisor who can identify and sell solutions? Key Highlights: When transitioning from a delivery role to sales in consulting, having internal networks and relationships is crucial, but often these connections aren't with buyers who have purchasing authority (00:02:13) Consultants don't need to execute the entire sales cycle themselves - it's acceptable and often beneficial to identify opportunities and have more senior people close deals while getting sales attribution (00:15:33) Account planning is critical - consultants should build relationships at their current level and gradually work their way up to senior buyers, rather than trying to immediately reach C-level executives (00:16:46) For long-term success in consulting, consistency and focus in a specific domain or industry are more valuable than being scattered across many areas (00:29:40) Technical consultants are often well-positioned to identify new opportunities because they see operational pain points firsthand while working with clients (00:23:34) When building a professional brand, content should be focused and consistent rather than scattered across various topics - this helps potential clients understand your expertise (00:30:00) Having clear career goals and values alignment is essential - consultants should ask themselves if they'll be satisfied doing their current trajectory in 10 years (00:37:21) For LinkedIn engagement, experts recommend making three thoughtful comments per day on potential buyers' content and posting original content once or twice weekly maximum (00:49:25) When building relationships on LinkedIn, it's important to "give before asking" - contribute value to conversations before requesting meetings or connections (00:46:40) Building visibility with potential buyers can be done indirectly by engaging with their network and participating in relevant conversations, rather than approaching them directly (00:48:27) 5 Takeaways: The most effective path for consultants transitioning to sales roles is to leverage existing client relationships where trust has already been established, rather than trying to build entirely new connections under pressure of sales targets. Successful business development in consulting requires a strategic approach to relationship elevation, where consultants work collaboratively with junior client contacts to earn trust before attempting to reach C-level decision makers. Technical consultants can contribute meaningfully to sales by identifying opportunities during project work and channeling them through senior partners, earning sales attribution credit without having to personally close deals. On LinkedIn, the optimal engagement strategy for consultants is to make three thoughtful comments daily on potential buyers' content while limiting original posts to once or twice per week, focusing on providing value before making any asks. Long-term success in consulting sales requires maintaining a consistent professional focus and expertise in specific areas, rather than taking a scattered approach across multiple topics or industries. For reference, here's the Reddit post: https://lnkd.in/ePhFepwu AND if you stick around till the end... there's a brilliant bit of advice from one of the top voices on LinkedIn, Richard Bliss ( therichardbliss.com ) who gave us HIS expert perspective on this topic. You cannot miss that bit. And speaking of sales, he usually charges for that advice...

(21:36) Networking and leveraging existing relationships are presented as crucial for finding new business opportunities. (05:37) Partnering with others who have complementary skills, especially for consultants who may lack sales experience. (29:43) The challenge of knowing when to transition from relationship-building to making a sales pitch. (39:25) The importance of making it easy for potential clients to take the next step in engaging services is emphasized. (40:26) Consulting sales as an ethical pursuit of helping people solve problems. (41:13) 6 Takeaways: Successful consultants focus on building authentic relationships and understanding client needs rather than using aggressive sales tactics. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is crucial for consultants to effectively read situations, connect with clients, and identify potential opportunities. Offering value upfront through thought leadership, free workshops, or problem-solving sessions can help establish credibility and open doors to future business. Leveraging existing networks and partnerships, both internal and external, is essential for finding new business opportunities and complementing one's own skills. Consultants often struggle with transitioning from relationship-building to making a sales pitch, highlighting the importance of recognizing buying signals. Framing consulting sales as an ethical pursuit of helping people solve problems can help overcome discomfort with traditional selling approaches.

Have you been thinking about starting a private practice in your small town? You're going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories! I sat down with Gabby Hewitt, a speech language pathologist with a private practice specializing in orofacial myology in a small town in North Dakota. She opened her practice while knowing there was a lack of speech therapy services in her hometown and wanted to fill that gap. I got to know Gabby during her time in the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs and it has been amazing to watch the impact she has had bringing a much-needed service to her rural area. In this episode, Gabby talks about how she started her practice right out of her CF, how clients find her, why she hired an assistant, and how specializing in feeding and myo has helped clients be drawn to her.Gabby is an ASHA Certified SLP specializing in orofacial myology, oral myofunctional disorders, and pediatric feeding and swallowing. She is currently in the certification process for becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), Certified Myofunctional Therapist (CMT®), and Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM®). She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of North Dakota before obtaining her Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Gannon University in Ruskin, FL where she was a member of the first-ever graduate SLP program cohort. It was in Florida that she discovered and learned about orofacial myology. Following her clinical fellowship, Gabby opened her private practice, UpNorth Therapies, in her hometown of Carrington, North Dakota where she recently just completed a renovation and expansion project of a new clinic space 8 months after opening. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How and why Gabby decided to start a private practice so early in her careerWhy work-life balance isn't just a fantasy with a private practiceThe good you can do for your community when you take control of your life and careerThe key to getting your first clients as a private practice owner in a small townThe true power of specializing as a private practice ownerHow you can structure your week when you are in charge of your hoursA look into the impact of hiring help in your private practiceHow the Start and Grow programs helped Gabby grow her business and get more stabilityThe power you have to grow at your own pace in your businessI hope you enjoyed this episode with Gabby!

In the fast-paced world of consulting, the ability to ask insightful questions can be the key differentiator between average and exceptional performance. Here are 7 things you need to know about the art and science of effective questioning to generate superior outcomes. We Discuss: How can consultants ask good questions without appearing incompetent? Is the Socratic method overused in consulting? How does asking questions differ across cultures? How can technical consultants improve their questioning skills? How can junior consultants ask questions of senior team members or clients? Key Highlights: The importance of asking good questions as a consultant, rather than just appearing as an expert (00:02:58) Building rapport and psychological safety is crucial for asking probing questions effectively (00:26:13) The Socratic method can be valuable if used with humility and genuine curiosity, not to prove someone wrong (00:30:05) Cultural differences play a role in how questions are perceived and should be asked (00:40:09) For technical consultants, developing questioning skills may require intentional effort as it doesn't always come naturally (00:44:03) Asking questions demonstrates expertise more than just stating facts, though this can be counterintuitive (00:46:16) Good questioning involves being curious, open, caring about the intent, and can be learned through practice (00:45:22) Questions are fundamental to human existence, learning, and career development (00:45:46) 7 Takeaways: Effective consultants focus on asking insightful questions rather than simply demonstrating expertise, as this approach leads to better problem-solving and client relationships. Building rapport and psychological safety is crucial before asking probing questions, especially in different cultural contexts where relationship-building may be more important initially. The Socratic method can be a powerful tool when used with genuine curiosity and humility, rather than as a means to prove someone wrong or appear superior. For technical consultants, developing strong questioning skills may require intentional effort, as it often doesn't come naturally to those with an engineering mindset. Asking thoughtful questions can actually demonstrate more expertise than simply stating facts, though this approach may feel counterintuitive at first. Good questioning involves being curious, open-minded, and caring about the intent behind the inquiry, skills that can be learned and improved through practice. Questions are fundamental to human existence, learning, and career development, serving as a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.

The consulting industry stands at the cusp of a profound transformation, driven by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and changing business landscapes. Here are 5 things consultants need to know about adapting and thriving in the future of 2035. We Discuss: How will the role of consultants change by 2035? Is there a historical analog for the current pace of change in consulting? What should individual consultants do to prepare for these changes? Will AI completely replace human consultants? How might consulting firms change their investment strategies? Key Highlights: The discussion focuses on a Strategic Foresight Study for 2035 produced by 2b Ahead, a German research firm, examining emerging trends in consulting (00:01:10) There's increasing uncertainty and "fog" in the business world, making navigating uncertainty a key value proposition for consultants (00:06:09) AI and automation are impacting knowledge work and consulting more than previously expected, potentially displacing roles like legal and medical professionals (00:23:44) The pace of technological change and dissemination of information is accelerating, leading to faster development and adoption of new tools (00:15:02) By 2035, consulting firms may need to invest more in AI hardware rather than just hiring more consultants (00:29:29) Consultants should focus on recording their work in AI-accessible formats and developing "original thought" that AI currently can't replicate (00:31:40) To remain relevant, consultants should actively use and understand AI tools to improve their work and potentially create new business models (00:35:47) The potential impact of AI on consulting ranges from incremental improvements to transformative change if AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is achieved (00:34:34) Embracing uncertainty and adapting to new tools is key for consultants' future success (00:40:18) 5 Takeaways: The consulting industry is facing increasing uncertainty and complexity, making the ability to navigate ambiguity a crucial skill for future consultants. Artificial intelligence and automation are impacting knowledge work more significantly than anticipated, potentially displacing traditional consulting roles and requiring consultants to adapt their skillsets. By 2035, consulting firms may need to invest more heavily in AI hardware and capabilities rather than solely focusing on hiring human consultants. To remain relevant, consultants should actively use AI tools, focus on developing "original thought" that AI can't replicate, and look for ways to make their services more accessible and scalable. The future of consulting will likely involve a symbiotic relationship between human expertise and AI capabilities, with successful consultants leveraging both to provide unique value to clients.

Welcome to one of my favorite episodes of the year: My Private Practice Predictions for 2024! And specifically, I'm talking about how to thrive in a changing economic landscape.I'm going to make 3 BIG predictions that you're going to want to know if you're thinking about starting your private practice this year. I'll give you a hint of one of them: The Importance of Diversification of Income. I tell my students in the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs all the time about how business isn't something that you learn once. Just like you're a lifelong learner for clinical education, it's important to invest in being a lifelong learner for your business education. One of the reasons is that this landscape of practice changes every few years, and you need to be prepared and know how to navigate the ups and downs, the feast and famine cycles, and different positive and negative trends when it comes to things like finances, marketing, hiring, and more. So I know what I'm talking about. And no matter where you are in the private practice journey, I know that the information that I'm about to share can really help you.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How we are planning to support even more students in our programs this yearThe shift toward lifestyle private practicesPositioning your private practice in a changing economyWhy diversification of income is crucialThose are my private practice predictions for 2024! I hope you're feeling as energized and excited about the future of private practice as I am. My word for 2024 is 'Evolve' – because it's all about evolving with the times, simplifying complexities, and thriving in our practices. Beginners, Private Practice Bootcamp starts on January 22nd!

This is a true match, so any unused match funds expire after midnight ET on New Year’s Eve. Are you really fine after a fire consumed your home and all you owned, or is there trauma you’re still taking time to process? In the aftermath of your breakup, you sought therapy to cope while your ex-fiancée took a more questionable series of approaches that involved accusing you of abuse. Despite residual negativity, you remain hopeful you might be able to mend your differences and rekindle the relationship. Is this just wishful thinking? While you’d love to honor your late father’s memory by attaching his name to a sizeable donation you made to a charity in your close-knit town, you’re wondering if leaving it anonymous and remaining invisible might be the wiser choice. Your addiction-struggling brother chose drugs over visiting your mother in the hospital when she was terminally ill, leaving you to make end-of-life decisions per her wishes. Now that she’s gone, he’s loudly proclaiming to anyone who will listen that you killed her. How should you handle this? A listener shares how he’s translated some of our advice into real-world application. Have any questions, comments, or stories you’d like to share with us?

[Thanks to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis for helping us with this one!] Your long-term partner has been dropping hints about opening up your relationship, which only makes you feel like you're not good enough for him. Will insisting on maintaining monogamy just urge him to move on — and would that be the worst thing in the world if you each want something different from a relationship? While you're flattered your company thinks enough of you to offer you your boss' job when he retires, you're content where you are and don't really want to be working 70-80 hours a week in your 50s. How can you tactfully turn down such an "opportunity" without appearing ungrateful? You know all the other MLMs out there are scams that prey on people eager to "be their own boss" while draining their bank accounts by making them buy products they don't need and will never sell.

Sharing child custody with an ex can be an exercise in trust, patience, and compromise. But what happens when that ex decides to remarry and now your kids have a stepdad who has pled guilty to two felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor? How can you ensure their safety when they're around their pedophile stepdad, and how do you explain what's going on without traumatizing them? We'll try to find answers to these questions and more here on Feedback Friday!

[Once again, clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis saves the day!] Your wife's Chinese family is immersed in CCP propaganda, despite living in the US for over 40 years. Now that your father-in-law has passed, your wife wants her mother to move in — but you're concerned about her influence on your children and the risk of being monitored by the CCP for listening to its media. What should you do? You and your partner moved in together before really knowing each other's darker sides. Although you've turned your own life around, your partner is struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues and exhibits emotionally destructive behavior. You plan to move out and find a new place to live with a friend, but how do you delicately navigate the situation? You're 28 years old, working for your 73-year-old father in the family business. You want to modernize the company's procedures and processes, but your father resists change and is beginning to display signs of cognitive decline. Can you find a way to take charge of the business while still showing your father you value his advice? You've been running your own business as a side project for years, but you're ready to bring it to the forefront. Even though it's been demonstrated time and again that you know your stuff, imposter syndrome and a beginner's mindset keep you from being self-confident enough to charge clients an expert rate.

Every year around Halloween, millions of teenagers, drunk adults, and terrified believers gather around Ouija boards to contact "The Other Side." We've all been a part of it, and we know we weren't moving that little thing, but it was definitely moving. So what’s really going on here? Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host David C. Smalley break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: How a pair of sisters playing a prank on their parents in upstate New York escalated into a spiritualism craze that took the 19th century United States — and then the world — by storm. The Medieval Chinese origins and evolution of what we know today as the Ouija board. How the spiritualism craze boosted the Ouija board's adoption into millions of households (even outselling Monopoly in 1967). The indelible marks the Ouija board has made on our lives — from pop culture to the law. The science behind what makes the Ouija board "work." Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Your creepy brother-in-law has been using explicit pictures of you — which he obtained through a nanny cam he secretly installed in your bedroom eight years ago — to anonymously threaten you with blackmail. Your sister was in the process of divorcing him and turned his laptop over to the police as evidence, but you fear she may be getting back together with him and may no longer be willing to cooperate when you press charges. To top it off, it's been three months since the police were involved and there's been no progress in holding this would-be scammer accountable. What can you do now? We'll try to answer this and more here on Feedback Friday! And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week!

Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How can you hold your brother-in-law accountable for trying to blackmail you with explicit photos he took with a secret nanny cam when your own sister and the police seem to be on his side? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this one!] If you're in your thirties (or over) and considering going back to university, how can you make the most of the experience and deal with its inevitable uncertainties? How can you help your cousin's business thrive when he's put it $30,000 in the hole with gambling debt and only pays you 1/3rd of what the guy you replaced was making? Sharing dog custody with a cheating ex led to a night of spontaneous intimacy, and now you're confused about maybe giving things another chance. Yes or no? Moving abroad to shorten a long-distance relationship probably wouldn't be so bad if it didn't put a bigger gap between you and your family. But you also can't deny feeling a bit disconnected not only from your significant other, but yourself. Have you made a huge mistake, or is this a natural adjustment most expats face?

Is chocolate your guilty pleasure? Until you listen to this episode, we can almost guarantee you're not feeling guilty enough about it! But don't fret, because we'll also provide resources to help alleviate some of that guilt and allow you to become part of the problem's solution! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host David C. Smalley break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: How the production and consumption of chocolate perpetuates a range of negative impacts, including child trafficking, labor exploitation akin to slavery, deforestation, and climate change. The chocolate industry brings in $100 billion annually, but the farmers who produce it make less than $1 a day toiling long hours in the grueling heat, constantly exposed to poisonous pesticides in unsafe conditions. High demand for labor is met by children — some as young as five — who are forced into it either by their desperate families or opportunists who abduct and sell them. How, despite the health benefits of cocoa, there has been a high food safety concern regarding the presence and levels of heavy metals such as nickel, cadmium, chromium, and lead, both in cocoa beans and cocoa products including, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, cocoa powder, and chocolates. How consumers can contribute to positive change by being more mindful of where their chocolate comes from and demanding ethical and sustainable production practices.

You're a teenager whose parents never allowed you to go to public school, but they never homeschooled you, either. How can you be expected to make it in the outside world and improve yourself without an education? You recently lost your battle with a gambling addiction and blew far more money than you had. Two questions: are there legitimate debt relief companies, and how can you build positive habits to make you more resistant to your unhealthier impulses? Inviting your girlfriend and her daughter to live with you has turned into a nightmare. If you break up with her, you have to face the guilt of throwing a depressed single mother with a suicidal daughter out of your house and deal with the emotional pain of losing someone you care about. But are you being fair to yourself if you remain in this relationship? Your evangelical ex left you because his faith has convinced him that your gay relationship is a sin, but now he wants you back — even though he still holds these beliefs. Is there any scenario where this could actually work? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!
