Podcasts about what you will learn in this episode

Every one of us, ages. When it comes to aging, no one is exempted. And when you are an employee, you are not immune to age biases in the workplace. Misperceptions and outdated assumptions about older workers’ skills and proficiency are hurting more and more employees as the number of older workers grows. Age discrimination is unacceptable, and you can help make it stop. In this episode, we talked to Sheila Callaham, Executive Director and Board Chair of Age Equity Alliance, about the underlying motivation of age discrimination in the workplace, how it impacts older workers, and what you need to do when you fall victim to such bias. Sheila is longtime communication and global inclusion and diversity subject matter expert with more than 30 years of experience across private and public sectors in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. She believes employers who proactively build diverse, multigenerational teams are not only the most inclusive, but they are also in the best position to succeed.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: 00:41 - What is Age Equity Alliance? 01:21 - What does Age Equity Alliance do to address age-related issues in the workplace and other institutions? 05:06 - The underlying reason for company’s biases in age inclusion and its impact on older workers 13:01 - Does the concept of retirement foster discrimination against older employees? 16:04 - The emotional and psychological impact of age discrimination for older employees 22:34 - Worst offenders of age discrimination in the work industry 23:48 - Where does discriminatory attitude against age is born? 26:12 - What HR Departments or management need to do to alleviate age discrimination 27:58 - How the world views aging and age discrimination 30:26 - Is the labor force exploiting employees?

“Kathrin, how do you know if your intuition is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation or if it’s just fear talking? This is a question I have spent YEARS trying to understand and articulate in the work that I put out into the world. On a daily basis we hear a voice inside our heads.

When a parent leaves an inheritance as a legacy for their children, the intent is always to secure their future. Statistics tell us that 1-in-3 heirs end up blowing all the money, rather than stewarding it well. Earning and keeping are two drastically different skillsets, and having advice and counsel is essential to manage wealth well. But what would happen if all the advice in the world was basically useless? What would happen if you knew you were going to inherit but had your hands tied?    Today, I have an interesting story about what happens when an inheritance rattles the future, rather than securing it. It is truly a tale of good intentions gone awry. In this interview, my client, who will be known only as “Annie”, tells the story of inheriting $4M from her parents. Annie shares everything she has had to go through just to get her hands on the money that was rightfully hers. Even though her parents took the time to have a trust drafted, she never found the actual trust documents and had to go through the probate courts to have assets transferred to her name.    This is a cautionary tale to people everywhere of the high costs on the people you love if your estate plan is incomplete! Also, Annie had strong emotions about the money to overcome—before she inherited money she lived paycheck to paycheck, and even marched on Occupy Wall Street. Listen to find out if her perspective on wealth has evolved as she inherited.    This is a very moving and vulnerable story. It reminds me that a legacy is an incredible gift, but it is also a heavy weight to bear. I know you will come away from Annie’s story with a lot to think about, (and hopefully, let someone know the location of your Will when you’re through!)     What You Will Learn In This Episode:  •    We start from the beginning: Annie always knew she would inherit money.  •    Money and inheritance were abstract.  •    Annie feels like she almost exchanged her parents for the money.  •    How the whole trouble with the trust started.  •    Lawyers don’t always have a copy of the trust.  •    The time it takes and the uncertainty that follows a missing trust.  •    How Annie has managed the pain and fear over the inheritance.  •    Annie’s early days living paycheck to paycheck taught her about what it means to be “enough.”  •    All about some of the technical aspects of inheritance.  •    Annie’s vision for her life with this inheritance.  •    Money has an effect on people. Learn how Annie’s social life has shifted.  •    How to ensure people in your life has copies of your will.  •    What Annie is planning to do with her story.    Featured on the show https://www.profitbosslive.com/ https://www.50kwealthmultiplier.com/

Jacob Morgan is an author, speaker and futurist living in the Bay Area. He recently started a new Facebook group called, The future if. This group is a global community of business leaders, authors, and futurists who explore what our future can look like IF certain technologies, ideas, approaches and trends actually happen.   Jacob is also working on a new course called The Future of Work Crash Course. This will go live in a few weeks. It is a companion course for his newest book, The Employee Experience Advantage.   He is looking at writing another book, sometime in the next few years. In addition, Jacob is looking at creating more interesting podcasts and interviewing new, fascinating guests.  What themes have stood out for Jacob from hosting this podcast?  First of all, Jacob says he’s learned a lot in the past 3 years and it turned out that a lot of people also enjoyed learning along with him. The podcast gets about 4000 – 5000 listens per episode, about 30,000 downloads per month.   One thing Jacob loves about the podcast is that the guests are honest. In conferences, events, etc. the information that comes across is often sanitized. The guests don’t get an advanced list of the questions, so it feels like it is a coffee shop conversation.   Jacob shares that he is amazed the future of work and the employee experience is getting so much traction. From HR to IT, a lot are paying attention to this. Jacob likes to think he  had a hand in driving some of that. He is pleased that companies are thinking about this. Jacob is always amazed to hear how far companies have come along. From workspace design to corporate culture and where employees want to show up.   What is Jacob’s vision for the future of work? He believes that in 5 years – 10 years out, not much will be different. There will be some evolution but it won’t be unrecognizable. In 50 years, he feels there will be a heavy and strong emphasis on AI. Perhaps androids. Maybe.  What should Jacob encourage leadership to think about? First of all, remember it’s People 1st, Technology 2nd. There is no substitute for people. No company can exist without people  It is also important to build a company that people want to work for.   How do you create systems to prepare people for the future of work? Jacob says you have to start by understanding the purpose of schools; schools don’t do a good job of preparing people for the future of their work. The purpose of schools is changing.   What threats will companies face in the future around the subject of compliance and integrity? One thing is transparency – companies need to be aware that both positive and negative information is out there. Another threat is the pace of business (for example, Uber). And also putting the right people in positions of power  What does Jacob feel is hype and what is reality? He says the most hype is around augmented and virtual reality and AI. He doesn’t believe we will see massive job displacement. Wearables are cool but they are on the fringes.   There are some things that Jacob feels are likely to happen and the ideas and technology are there but we are the barriers to these changes. In 10 years or so out - Jacob expects scalable virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles (10 years or so out). Also, we will rely more on voice commands. But Jacob sees that there is a lack of discussion around timelines for these things.  What You Will Learn In This Episode:   What Jacob is working on now  What things are hype and what is reality  How to create systems to prepare people for the future of work  What Jacob has learned during his time as a podcast host  What threats will companies face in the future around the subject of compliance and integrity?   Jacob’s vision for the future of work 

Dee Ann Turner is the Vice President of Enterprise Social Responsibility for Chick-fil-A. She was previously the Vice President of Corporate Talent at Chick-fil-A for 16 years. She is the author of a book called, It’s My Pleasure: The Impact of Extraordinary Talent and A Compelling Culture. Chick-fil-A is a fast-food restaurant based out of Atlanta with over 2,000 locations all over the U.S. They have 100,000 team members including 1,600 in their corporate offices.   Corporate culture is one of the most important aspects of an organization and it is a major topic of discussion nowadays. One company that is getting corporate culture right is Chick-fil-A. The original founder of Chick-fil-A, S. Truett Cathy, believed that Chick-fil-A was “not in the chicken business, but in the people business” and the way he developed and lead the company was a true testament to that belief. Cathey advised Turner to remember that, “people decisions are the most important decisions we can make”.   Chick-fil-A has steadily increased in sales every year and their retention rates are phenomenal, which is rare for the fast food industry. They have franchisees from ages 19 to 80 with very diverse backgrounds, beliefs and experiences. They state that their purpose is, “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A.” Chick-fil-A has a very unique corporate culture and it really focuses on building up and investing in their employees. They truly are a company whose focus is on people, both the employees and the customers.   Turner explains that Chick-fil-A incorporates one thing as an umbrella over everything that they do and that is the idea that they care about people personally. “Employees and guests are not just a name, they are a story and people know their story”. She says that Chick-fil-A employees celebrate milestones in each other’s lives. They throw baby showers and wedding showers, they attend their kids’ sporting events, they listen to each other and give advice. They understand that “to be innovative, you have to be diverse” and one of their core beliefs is that you should treat everyone with honor, dignity and respect.   Leaders in the company are trained in and encouraged to use the Serve Model. Each letter in the word serve stands for a value. S is for see and shape the future because leaders should have vision and they should be able to articulate that vision to others. E is for engage and develop others. R is for reinvent continuously and the ability to be willing to change things up. V stands for valuing results as well as relationships and the last E is to embody the values of the company which include generosity, loyalty and excellence. Chick-fil-A believes that the higher up you are in the company, the more responsibility you have to embody the serve model. The focus is putting others before yourself.   Chick-fil-A also has some very unique perks for their employees. Their headquarters have outdoor workspaces with full wifi, they have a cafe with free lunches, the company offers great health care and they allow employees to use condos owned by management for vacations. They also have an annual conference and one year they rented out the largest cruise ship in the world for it.   Corporate culture is vitally important for successful organizations. It shapes who you are as a company, it helps you attract and retain great talent and it helps you focus on where you need to go in the future. Chick-fil-A is a great example of how putting people first can go a long way in creating an amazing corporate culture.   What You Will Learn In This Episode:  Why Dee Ann wrote her book and what the process was for writing the book  How Dee Ann started working at Chick-fil-A  The Chick-fil-A Corporate Culture  What the Serve Model is  Unique things Chick-fil-A does that other organizations do not  How Chick-fil-A is using servant based leadership  Employee experience for Knowledge workers vs. service workers  The 6 step hiring process of Chick-fil-A  Link From The Episode: It's My Pleasure: The Impact of Extraordinary Talent and a Compelling Culture on Amazon DeeAnnTurner.com   (Music by Ronald Jenkees)  

We are currently in the midst of an industrial revolution with an exponential pace of change and it is disrupting industry in every country. This revolution is different from the past three in terms of velocity, scope, and impact. It is a digital revolution, characterized by a fusion of technology that is impacting every aspect of how we work and how we live, creating threats and opportunities. Skills that we learned in formal education are now becoming irrelevant. Employees should be prepared to completely reskill themselves. I recently spoke with Sandeep Dadlani, the Executive Vice President and Head of Americas for Infosys, on what is going to be required from employees of the future to succeed and thrive. Infosys is a massive, quick growing global consulting firm. Sandeep has been with them for over 15 years in a variety of roles. They have studied the 4th industrial revolution and the impact it is going to have thoroughly. Infosys believes the answer to the challenges we face in this revolution is education.   With technology evolving so quickly, corporate training programs are behind the times and desperately need to be updated. We should focus on education in areas like computers, data, artificial intelligence, and designed thinking to enable consistent training for the workforce. Learning should be a creative, clever environment that allows employees to prove that they are innovators. Managers just need to listen to the future... youth already has a good idea about what they want to be trained on.      What You Will Learn In This Episode:   World Economic Forum What is the 4th Industrial Revolution Amplifying human potential Skills gap Emerging markets versus the United States Education and training in the workforce Gender divide   Links From The Episode: Sandeep Dadlani on Twitter Infosys Report on Amplifying Human Potential   (Music by Ronald Jenkees)
