I'm wondering, have you read the verse which says, "Be kind to everyone who is kind to you. Be kind to the people you like. Be kind when you want to impress someone, or when there's something in it for you"? No, you haven't seen this verse in Scripture, but Paul wrote to Timothy, And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful (2 Timothy 2:24). That's my word of wisdom for the workplace today: Be kind to everyone. In fact, we've put these words on a set of cards, designed to help you remember them or to pass them along to someone else who may need a word of wisdom for the day. You'll find them ready for your use here. Today it's “Be kind to everyone.” I once witnessed a situation in which a Christian sister was obviously unkind to a person simply because she didn't like that kind of person. Based on her prejudices and some bad experiences she had, she had classified a group of people as undesirable. And so, she was obviously unkind to this person. My heart was hurt to see a Christian treat someone unkindly. Then I realized I probably do similar things all too often. I mean, it's easy to be kind to people who seem to deserve our kindness. But the Bible says we are to be kind to everyone. That includes strangers, people who irritate us, people who are not kind to us—everyone includes everyone! Once I was unkind to a clerk at a hotel who was not very efficient at her job. Her lack of efficiency inconvenienced me just a bit, and though I didn't say anything, I'm sure the look on my face and my body language was most unkind. How easy it would have been for me to say something kind to her, to make her feel a little more comfortable, to forget my minor inconvenience and try to help her a bit. The Holy Spirit hit me between the eyes as I walked away. I heard him say, “You had one chance to show her what Jesus is like, and you showed her what you are like.” Ouch! The Lord's servant must be kind to everyone, even people who don't do their jobs as well as they should. Where do you often fail to be kind? Shore up this area with prayer and ask God to help you to be kind, as the servant of the Lord should be, to everyone.

Are you tired today? I have a word of wisdom for you. You can have these nuggets of wisdom on some cards we've prepared. Then you can use the cards to remind yourself of these important principles, or you may want to give some to others who are struggling with workplace issues. Today's wisdom for the workplace is: Remember being tired is inevitable, but if you're tired for the wrong reasons, then you need to take some action. First, let me assure you it's okay to be tired. Jesus was often tired while he was here on earth. You remember when he fell asleep on the boat, and a terrible storm didn't awaken him. He was tired. We read in John 4 he was tired from a long journey. We know Jesus understands our tired bodies and minds because he experienced it while he took the form of man on earth. He sympathizes with our weaknesses and the limitations we face. Just knowing that helps me a lot. But we need to determine if we're tired for the wrong reasons. Have you been trying to be all things to all people lately? It's exhausting—and you can never succeed. Perhaps you've taken on jobs God never intended you to do, and you're tired from trying to do too much. Maybe you're trying to do everything to total perfection. Perfectionists are usually very tired people, trying to prove something to themselves and to the world by being perfect all the time. You may be tired because you've got your priorities confused. Someone has said, "There's always time to do God's will," and I think it's true God would never ask of us more than our bodies and minds can do without going into overload and burn-out. But when we confuse our priorities, it causes weariness and exhaustion. Remember this important message from Isaiah: Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:30-32). You may have a copy of this devotional as well as these cards giving these words of wisdom for the Workplace. You can use these cards to encourage yourself each day or pass them on to others who may need a word of wisdom. This is available here.

Tznius and Boundaries in the Workplace is a thought-provoking series exploring halacha, sensitivity and practical guidance for navigating Mixed work environments. Adapted from the original Project Chana Power Hour recordings, these episodes feature renowned Kallah teacher and Mashpia Mrs. Sara Morozow, who brings clarity and insight to the topic. Whether you work directly in a mixed environment or not, this series offers valuable lessons for fostering healthy, and respectful spaces in all areas of life.

Being constantly connected is part of the work landscape now - but it's not without risk. Whether its email or group chats, what employees pop in their messages can sometimes become problematic. Ainsley Palairet is Director of FixHR and well versed in how digital communication in the workplace can get out of hand. She'll talk to the risks, particularly for small businesses who might not have HR teams. So what kind of everyday messaging at work might cross professional or legal lines? And how can both staff and employers stay safe?

It doesn't take a genius to realise that the COVID-19 pandemic changed the relationship many white-collar employees have with work. And that's particularly true when it comes to remote work; which some of them now see as a non-negotiable. And a lot of other employees have made it clear they don't want to return to full-time office life. Nevertheless, many CEOs were keen to get their staff back into the office once the pandemic started to ease. Some companies ended up coming to hybrid arrangements as a kind of compromise. That's still not enough for some though and it has led to signs of retaliation, in the form of trends like quiet quitting or “act your wage” which we've talked about in past episodes of Do You Really Know?. Today, we're talking about coffee badging specifically, which is a kind of hack employees are using to fulfil office day mandates without actually spending too much time in the office. What does the “badge” part mean? And is it a positive thing? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

After revealing she failed the bar exam, Kim Kardashian's new legal drama All's Fair has also been panned by critics as the worst TV show to ever exist. So, when you’re one of the most successful women in the world, what does it feel like to fail? And do we all need to embrace the humour in our own ‘flop’ eras? And, the New York Times asked a very simple question: Did women ruin the workplace? The Internet had a lot of thoughts, and we’re here to dissect them. Plus, can you be friends with someone who has a very different political view to you? For many young people, the answer is increasingly no. And, with celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence choosing to keep their politics to themselves, we unpack whether revealing your political leaning is becoming a no-go zone.

I want to give you some specific wisdom for the workplace. In fact, I want you to have a set of cards with these nuggets of wisdom which you can take to your job, use them for yourself, or even give to others as an encouraging word. You'll find those here. Here's today's wisdom for the workplace from Luke 12:15: Jesus said, Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed (Luke 12:15). This greed problem is nothing new. And we certainly must watch out for the many kinds of greed. There's greed for power, the drive to have authority and influence over other people. And greed for prestige and fame. Of course, greed for material possessions is very commonplace. Almost daily we hear of another scandal where greed for money has driven people to destroy their whole lives. When you think about it, greed is pride. It is that desire within us to show the world who we are by our status in life, our possessions, or our fame. Greed is a direct result of the pride of life. Greed is contagious. If you're around people who have lots of things and who focus their life on getting more and more things, you'll discover it's very difficult not to be swept right along into their greedy mindset. Greed is cancerous. It grows fast, and it consumes and destroys everything it touches. No wonder Jesus said we must be on our guard against all kinds of greed. Jesus went on to say a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. Greed can overtake us quickly and completely distort our priorities and our commitment to the Lord. Jesus said life is more than food or clothes; life is peace and contentment. Those can't be bought; they are found only in Jesus. Our wisdom for the workplace today is: Be on your guard today against the greed that surrounds you, especially in the working world. It wants to drag you right into its currents, but by God's grace, you can be victorious.

How you act, speak, and appear—all matter as a leader, according to this literature, which Dr. Losee mentioned in the opening moments of the podcast.

Send us a textDrive change through leadership, not title. In this bold episode, we get honest about the illusion of “psychological safety” and why so many teams talk about it but don't live it. Together, we break down what true safety looks like, how to lead yourself when your environment feels toxic, and why real growth starts long before your boss catches on. This one's for every quiet leader ready to stop waiting for permission and start setting the tone. We're not here to fix the system. We're here to rewrite it. Press play and lead from the inside out.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#448 | What REAL Validation Looks Like - https://apple.co/4hECPHQ #435 | The Hidden Signs You're Burnt Out (and Don't Know It Yet) - https://apple.co/3LjFaw1Evolve Together Experiences:

Title: What Happens When Love Enters the Boardroom (Part 1) Guest: Kelly Hall — Author of Love Works: Transforming the Workplace with Purpose and Authenticity Intro What happens when a business leader says the word "love" in a boardroom? Kelly Hall found out firsthand. After two decades leading global teams in industries where performance ruled, Kelly began exploring what happens when we let emotion — empathy, compassion, and yes, love — belong at work. In Part 1, Kelly and Mike unpack the tension between results and humanity: why we've been trained to separate who we are from what we do, and how reconnecting the two builds teams that trust, engage, and stay. What This Part Covers Why "love" still feels taboo in corporate culture — and why that's changing. Kelly's story of being told to remove the word "love" from a presentation to investors. The danger of leaving parts of ourselves at the office door. Mike's moment of authenticity: going from "Michael" to "Mike." Redefining psychological safety and what it really looks like in action. Highlights "It's scary to bring your emotions to work — and that's a tragedy." "The best leaders put their hand on your back, not their thumb on your head." "Safety doesn't mean comfort. It means you can stretch without fear." "When leaders show up as their whole selves, it gives everyone else permission to do the same." Takeaways Real leadership is relational, not positional. Love is just another word for deep respect and care. Authenticity isn't a soft skill — it's a performance advantage. Create spaces where people can make mistakes and still belong. Growth happens when people feel safe enough to stretch. Next Step for Listeners Ask yourself: Do people on my team feel safe to tell me the truth — even when it's uncomfortable? This week, lead one conversation from curiosity, not control. Connect with Kelly Hall.

Title: What Happens When Love Enters the Boardroom (Part 2) Guest: Kelly Hall — Author of Love Works: Transforming the Workplace with Purpose and Authenticity Intro If Part 1 asked us to bring our whole selves to work, Part 2 asks: How? Kelly Hall returns to share how she learned to lead from love — through crisis, coaching, and experience. A former finance executive turned leadership expert, Kelly discovered that love and high performance aren't opposites — they're fuel for each other. Together, she and Mike explore the tools that turn emotion into insight, chaos into clarity, and leadership into a relationship worth following. What This Part Covers Emotional intelligence and the "second thought" that defines mature leadership. Why pausing for clarity leads to better decisions than rushing for control. The shift from "commander" to "coach" — and what that means in real life. How consent-based decision-making builds trust and buy-in. The science of love as energy — and why caring deeply drives performance. Highlights "Your first thought isn't a choice — but your second one is." "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause." "Love is power, not weakness." "When leaders go last, people start to think for themselves." "Replace delegation with enrollment — don't assign work, invite ownership." Takeaways Lead last. Listen first. Create clarity by slowing down before speeding up. Turn reaction into reflection — pause before you decide. Empower others to make decisions, not just execute them. Redefine ego: use it to serve your people, not control them. Next Step for Listeners In your next meeting, go last. Let the room breathe. Listen without fixing — and notice what shifts when you trust the process more than the plan. Connect with Kelly Hall.

Summary  In this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Scott McInnes discusses the challenge of accountability for values with guests Karen Jones and Karen Hackett. They explore the importance of articulating and embedding organizational values, the role of managers in fostering a culture of accountability, and the potential pitfalls of weaponizing values in the workplace. The conversation also touches on the significance of onboarding processes and the need for open communication and feedback within organizations.    Takeaways  Accountability for values is a significant challenge for many organizations.  Values must be articulated and understood to be effectively lived.  Creating a culture of feedback is essential for accountability.  Managers play a pivotal role in releasing the energy of their teams.  Onboarding processes should embed values from the start.  Psychological safety is crucial for open conversations about values.  Values can be weaponized, leading to defensiveness in feedback.  Organizations need to be bold about their current culture and desired future state.  Storytelling can help connect employees to organizational values.  Time is a critical factor in enabling managers to engage with their teams.    Chapters  00:00 Introduction to Accountability for Values  01:24 Understanding Organizational Culture  04:18 Insights from the Mind the Gap Report  06:19 Bringing Values to Life  11:03 Accountability in Practice  17:17 Weaponization of Values in the Workplace  22:16 Building a High-Performance Culture  24:53 The Role of Managers in Organizational Success  30:01 Empowering Middle Managers  37:22 The Importance of Storytelling in Leadership  37:49 Effective Onboarding Practices

You may have heard Simon Sinek's recent "A Bit of Optimism" podcast that featured Barry-Wehmiller Chairman Bob Chapman and a number of BW team member from our BW Papersystems company in Phillips, WI.  One particular team member that was interviewed was Randall Fleming, who was a welder when we aquired (or adopted) Marquip, the company that would become BW Papersystems.  While presenting our message of Truly Human Leadership, our CEO Bob Chapman is often asked: What about the people who don't get it? What about the people who actively work against positive change? Barry-Wehmiller has adopted more than 150 companies and as Bob once wrote: We realize that when we acquire a company, the people within that company are a product of their experiences. They may have experienced great leaders in their past or, more likely, they have had some negative experiences. Consequently, some have difficulty trusting our leadership message. That's okay. We're all at a different point on this journey, and we have to be patient and trust that the skeptics will eventually see the transformative power it can have—on both their work lives and their personal lives. On this podcast, you'll hear the story of Randall Fleming, who was one of those people who resisted change at first, but then experienced a radical transformation. He told Simon a part of his story, but we wanted to give you a deeper dive. This episode is Randall's story, told by Randall. It also features BW team members Ken Coppens and Maureen Schloskey. Randall's story is testament to the life-changing power of meaningful work and the power of what happens when people care in business. It's what happens when you establish a workplace culture of empathy and shared purpose as opposed to the "command and control" atmosphere of most traditional management environments. Randall's story is an illustration of when we say that the way we lead impacts the way people live. He not only found more fulfillment in his work, his whole life completely changed. And Randall then became a leader, mentor and inspiration to others.

We've reached the point where “AI in HR” isn't just a buzzword—it's a mandate. But with every vendor promising a smarter, faster, more predictive future, it's getting harder to tell the difference between innovation and smoke and mirrors. In this episode, Alana Fallis and I go deep on how to navigate the noise: What should you actually invest in? How do you build real AI readiness, not just compliance theater? And how do you make sure your “data-driven” decisions don't quietly erode employee trust?We also tackle the people-and-technology dilemmas that HR leaders are facing right now. From scaling culture without losing soul, to drawing red lines on surveillance and privacy, to the sheer absurdity of AI-generated workplace flirtation—we're not short on material. These aren't hypotheticals. They're real, messy, and urgent. Let's get into it.Related Links:Join the People Managing People community forumSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Alana on LinkedInCheck out Quantum MetricTalk HR to MeSupport the show
