In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Adam Neufeld, family physician and clinical assistant professor at the University of Calgary. Drawing on his research in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Dr. Neufeld explains how autonomy, competence, and relatedness—the three universal psychological needs—shape motivation, engagement, and well-being in medical education and practice. Together they explore how supporting these needs can foster authentic motivation, enhance learning environments, and counteract burnout. Dr. Neufeld also clarifies common misconceptions about autonomy, shares practical strategies for educators and leaders, and discusses how small changes in communication and structure can transform both teaching and workplace culture.

Marilyn Pellier est l'invitée du 218ème épisode du podcast C'est quoi le bonheur pour vous?

How do we build a healthcare system where physicians and healthcare professionals can not only survive but truly thrive? In this illuminating episode of Life Changing Moments, host Dr. Dael Waxman sits down with a pioneer in the field, Dr. Jonathan Ripp, Chief Wellness Officer at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and co-founder of CHARM (the Collaborative for Healing and Renewal in Medicine). Dr. Ripp traces his 25-year journey from studying physician identity formation in residency to leading a national movement focused on structural well-being. He provides a masterclass on the evolution of the physician well-being movement, explaining why we've moved beyond individual "resilience" to address systemic issues like work design, clerical burden, and organizational culture. We dive deep into the genesis and mission of CHARM, the professional society for healthcare well-being leaders, and explore its foundational charter that has become a blueprint for institutions nationwide. Discover the most promising interventions today, from the explosive growth of physician coaching to the potential of AI and ambient scribes to reclaim time for meaningful work. In this episode, you'll learn: The story behind the CHARM collaborative and how it creates community for well-being leaders. Why the CHARM charter remains a critical document for defining the principles of systemic well-being. The four key domains of effective well-being programs: mental health, individual strategies, leadership culture, and work design. Why physician coaching and AI tools are among the most exciting advancements for reducing burnout. Practical advice for medical students and early-career physicians on how to choose a workplace that will support their well-being. Dr. Ripp's vision for a future where addressing healthcare worker well-being is a consistent, standardized priority across all health systems. If you are a physician, healthcare leader, medical student, or anyone passionate about healing the healers, this conversation is a source of grounded hope and a clear-eyed look at the path forward.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Kent Frederiksen, Vice President and Head of Rewards at the LEGO Group, to unpack how one of the world's most beloved brands is preparing for the EU's 2026 pay transparency rules. Kent breaks down why this shift is far bigger than compliance and why it will fundamentally reshape how companies handle data, structure roles, build trust and communicate with employees.He shares LEGO's six-year journey with global equal pay analyses and explains why the hardest part isn't legislation but the organisational mindset shift. Kent reveals the hidden challenges most companies underestimate, including the operational burden, the cultural implications and what it really means to “prove” pay equity in a legally defensible way.Finally, he explores how pay transparency is forcing companies to move from secrecy to partnership, why trust is the real currency in this transition and what HR leaders should be doing right now to get ahead before regulations hit.

In this episode, Craig explores what happens when we stop trying to reach a special state in meditation and allow the moment to unfold naturally, exactly as it is.Instead of resisting certain thoughts or feelings and grasping for others, he invites us to rest in a posture of openness that makes room for a deeper, already-present freedom to reveal itself.Through guided practice and teaching, Craig shows how the natural state is not something we create or achieve — it emerges when all of our inner strategies fall away. This episode begins with a guided meditation, so you may want to listen at a time when you can be fully present.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

About a decade ago, Dr. Jackie Meyer hit a wall of exhaustion running her CPA firm, but she refused to hide behind the industry's mask of perfection. Diagnosed with chronic fatigue and juggling motherhood and her work responsibilities, she began to question the relentless pace and the culture of stoicism that define the profession. On her return to The Unique CPA for Episode 239, she explains that instead of retreating, she transformed her struggle into a mission: she built TaxPlanIQ, a platform that lets accountants reclaim their time and sanity, and developed the ROI Method, a value pricing formula now championed by the AICPA. Since then, she's completed her doctorate in leadership and written a forthcoming book, The Balanced Millionaire. Jackie's journey, from iron infusions and late-night epiphanies to a much healthier, sustainable pace now, offers a candid look at what it takes to change not just a career, but an entire profession.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Raj Verma, Chief Culture, Inclusion and Employee Experience Officer at Sanofi, to explore how culture, trust and co-creation became the foundation of one of the most ambitious AI transformations in the industry. Raj breaks down why culture is a verb, not a vibe, and how Sanofi intentionally shaped behaviors and values to support AI at scale. He explains how Sanofi began its AI journey before the ChatGPT wave, driven by a visionary CEO and a bold ambition to become the first pharma company to use AI at scale. Raj details how recognition, inclusion, and data-driven insights became critical levers for building trust, strengthening decision-making, and ensuring AI adoption across 100,000+ employees worldwide. The conversation also dives into psychological safety, bias detection, global recognition platforms, and why culture, inclusion and employee experience must be tightly integrated if companies want AI to stick and deliver real transformation.

Becoming Your Best Self with Beth Young: Small Steps to Big ChangeIn this inspiring episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Beth Young — keynote speaker, health and wellness coach, founder of The Great Calm, and recipient of the Houston Women in Excellence Award — to talk about how to become your best self through small, consistent changes.Beth's life is a testament to the power of intentional living. Raised in a home surrounded by smoking and drinking, she made a bold decision early on: “That's not how I want to live.” That choice, rooted in self-awareness, would go on to serve her through some of life's toughest challenges — including surviving a brain tumor and a traumatic brain injury from a devastating car accident. Her neurologist was amazed by her recovery, saying, “You're six months ahead of others with the same injury because you live your 5 pillars.”Beth shares her powerful 5 Pillars of Health:NutritionMovementRelationshipsQuality SleepMindfulnessThese pillars are simple, accessible, and profoundly effective — especially when practiced consistently. “It's not rocket science,” Beth explains. “We just do the basics, and we do them consistently.”We also dive into:A unique breathing technique that can prevent anxiety attacksThe importance of “starting small” when making life changesWhy movement-based meditations, like tai chi, are perfect for those who struggle with traditional meditationHow “walkie talkies” — walking with a friend — can enhance both physical and emotional wellnessOne of my favorite takeaways from our conversation: “Did you know you cannot have an anxiety attack if you're getting enough oxygen to your brain? So I'm going to show you this really cool, unique way to breathe...”This episode is a beautiful reminder that becoming your best self doesn't require perfection — just consistent, mindful effort.Connect with Beth Young:
