300,000 Black women have been pushed out of the workforce. The system labels them "aggressive" when they speak, "not a team player" when they set boundaries, "difficult" when they advocate for themselves. These aren't random incidents; they're the deliberate mechanisms that systematically remove Black women from positions of power and influence. Minda Harts has documented this structural violence across thousands of women's experiences and built a framework to navigate it with clarity. As a bestselling author, workplace consultant, and NYU professor, she created The Seven Trust Languages®, a system that gives women the precise vocabulary to identify where and how they're being strategically undermined at work in real time. She's the author of The Memo: What Women of Color Need to Know to Secure a Seat at the Table, Right Within: How to Heal from Racial Trauma in the Workplace, You Are More Than Magic, and Talk to Me Nice: The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace. Recognized by LinkedIn as the #1 Top Voice for Equity in the Workplace and by Business Insider as one of the 100 People Transforming Business, Minda is the founder of The Memo LLC and Queen of Harts Productions. She works with Fortune 500 companies to rebuild trust and teaches the next generation of leaders at NYU's Wagner School of Public Service.

Are we losing our ability to think critically as we rely more on AI?Episode SummaryMy guest is social psychologist Dr Guy Champniss to explore the role of behavioural science in business and the emerging challenges of AI in the workplace. We discuss why behaviour change is so hard to sell, the myth that behavioural science is only needed when everything else fails, and how organisations often overlook the human factors in transformation. Guy brings deep insight into how behavioural science is perceived inside organisations—often as a last resort when more traditional methods fail. We examine why that is, and how a better understanding of human behaviour can actually de-risk strategy, improve engagement, and lead to more successful outcomes. We also explore the psychology of AI: how we trust it, how we interact with it, and what we might be losing in the process. From loss of credibility and collaboration among employees, to the risks of over-automation and cognitive offloading, the conversation raises timely questions about what kind of future we're building, and how prepared we really are.You'll hear thoughtful takes on the challenges of selling behavioural science, powerful metaphors to help reframe the debate, and real-world examples from the classroom to the call centre. If you're curious about the intersection of technology, psychology, and organisational behaviour, this is a must-listen.About Guy Champniss Dr Guy Champniss is a social psychologist and behavioural science practitioner. He teaches at IE Business School in Madrid and consults through Meltwater Consulting. Guy's current work focuses on how AI is changing human behaviour in organisations—particularly its impact on trust, agency, and critical thinking. He's also worked extensively in the sustainability space, helping businesses drive lasting behavioural change.AI Generated Timestamp Summary[00:00:00] – Intro to Dr Guy Champniss and sets up the discussion around behavioural science and AI.[00:03:30] – Behavioural Science's Struggle for AcceptanceWhy it's often brought in too late and why it needs itself to be sold effectively.[00:10:00] – Organisational Blind SpotsHow businesses resist behaviour-led approaches and prefer short-term fixes.[00:17:30] – From Sustainability to AIGuy's journey into exploring the psychology of AI at work.[00:24:00] – AI and Human CredibilityWhat happens when AI performs better than people, and how that undermines trust. [00:30:00] – Trust and Bias in AIWhy we trust AI more when it agrees with us and the dangers that brings.[00:38:00] – AI's Impact on CollaborationHow automation can quietly erode teamwork and critical thinking.[00:45:00] – Students and AIWhat AI use in classrooms reveals about thinking, learning, and shortcuts.[00:52:00] – The Real Future of WorkWhy it's not AI replacing jobs—but people who know how to use it.[00:56:00] – Language, Labels, and ResponsibilityThe power of how we talk about tech and what it signals.LinksMeltwater Consulting, Guy's firm - https://www.meltwater-consulting.com/drguychampnissGuy on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/guychampniss/His academic profile at IE Business School - https://rhe.ie.edu/speaker/guy-champniss/Guy's research - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Guy-ChampnissMcKinsey article on AI in Contact Centres - https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/operations/our-insights/the-contact-center-crossroads-finding-the-right-mix-of-humans-and-aiOnora O'Neil BBC Reith Lectures on A Question of Trust:Recording: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00ghvd8Transcript: https://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/radio4/transcripts/20020427_reith.pdfv

Today I discuss the leadership theme of Arrogance vs. Humility. It's a big topic and covers many parts of a company's cycle of growth and variations in styles of leadership. Without judgement, I wanted to discuss the topic in this era of massive AI investment, huge bets on the future, and many ongoing layoffs. There are good reasons for arrogance and it also has its problems, so I decided to share my thoughts. I also discuss our upcoming 2026 Imperatives research coming in January and give you some insights on the new features in Galileo to help transform the way we assess, coach, and develop our leaders. (And we're all leaders now.)

Personal branding in the workplace is no longer optional. It's essential. As professionals navigate a competitive landscape shaped by constant innovation and visibility, the ability to define, communicate, and sustain one's personal brand has become a key factor in professional success and organizational growth. Sima Dahl, CSP, has built her career helping individuals and companies harness that power. As an internationally recognized keynote speaker and creator of The #SwayFactor, Sima teaches professionals how to promote themselves with confidence and authenticity. Her approach goes far beyond image—it's about creating influence, driving engagement, and aligning personal value with business goals. Through her framework, Sima shows that personal branding isn't about self-promotion; it's about self-awareness and contribution. When employees understand how to position themselves effectively, they naturally become stronger advocates for their organizations. The result is a workforce that communicates with purpose, attracts opportunities, and helps businesses grow from the inside out. For organizations, embracing personal branding in the workplace means empowering employees to represent the company's mission and culture through their own networks. It supports recruitment, retention, and sales by humanizing the brand experience. When people see passionate, engaged professionals sharing their insights, they connect with the business behind them on a deeper level. Sima's work underscores an important shift in how companies view marketing and leadership. In today's business environment, influence isn't just reserved for executives or spokespeople—it's distributed across every employee who interacts with clients, partners, or audiences online. That's where the real power of personal branding comes into play. With The #SwayFactor, Sima has redefined how professionals think about their personal presence. Her method combines proven marketing principles with a human-centered philosophy that encourages authenticity, accountability, and alignment. It's not about being louder; it's about being clearer. Not about getting noticed, but about getting remembered for the right reasons. Her influence extends beyond the stage. Through her speaking, training, and consulting work, Sima has helped thousands of professionals take control of their reputation, strengthen their confidence, and create opportunities they once thought were out of reach. Organizations that adopt her strategies often see measurable gains in employee engagement, brand loyalty, and overall performance. For leaders, the message is clear: when employees are empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to the workplace, they don't just do better work—they help build better businesses. And for individuals, it's a reminder that your personal brand is one of your greatest career assets. Personal branding in the workplace continues to shape the future of leadership and communication. With experts like Sima Dahl leading the charge, the movement toward authenticity and influence isn't slowing down—it's becoming the standard for how professionals rise and how organizations thrive.

Amy and Margaret tackle one of women's most exhausting challenges: the nonstop onslaught of small asks, random requests, invisible labor, and mental load that quietly drains them. They break down why saying "no” to additional responsibilities is not laziness, and why "just say no to" is actually not a realistic option in many situations. Drawing on real-life examples, Amy and Margaret explore the emotional calculus behind every “yes,” the hidden costs of over-accommodating, and why moms often feel pressure to be endlessly available. They offer practical scripts, boundary strategies, and mindset shifts to help you pause before automatically agreeing, tolerate the discomfort of disappointing others, and value your own limits.

Exhausted from late diagnosed autism masking as an adult? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April chats with Wendela Whitcomb Marsh (Dr. Wendy), award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and US Autism Association board member, on neurodivergent self-acceptance, workplace accommodations, and advocacy for high-masking autistic adults—especially women/girls/trans/ND folks. After 40 years in special ed/psychology, Dr. Wendy founded (and sold) Adult Autism Assessment & Services, drawing from her autistic family (late husband + 2/3 adult kids). Her Adulting While Autistic series (Independent Living, Dating, Relating, Parenting, Working While Autistic) and SWAN Church (Scripture & Worship for All Neurotypes) empower underserved voices. Key insights: Adult vs. child autism: Masking hides symptoms (e.g., routines for eye contact/socializing); exhaustion from "faking normal." Late-dx challenges: Women/trans/non-binary often missed (3-6x overlap with autism); bullying/shame leads to self-doubt. Workplace/family support: Frame needs as productivity wins (e.g., noise-canceling headphones/WFH); believe autistic voices—no "faking." Clinician tips: Read autistic authors, seek ND-affirming pros; self-ID valid if no paper needed (for disability/accommodations). Advocacy ahead: Boa constrictor squeeze (hard times)—stay safe, speak out; churches need inclusivity (SWAN as model). For autistic young adults unmasking or parents advocating, Dr. Wendy's optimism shines: "Nothing wrong with you—world's not built for you."

At this time of the year, you are around many people you know and some you may not know as well as others. Gatherings, parties, and events are important, and you will interact with people experiencing all kinds of situations in their lives. Some are facing many challenges, while others carry deep personal burdens for family or others in their lives. Additionally, you'll be around people who are excelling in all areas of life and work, moving into the next year with clear vision and motivation. In Podcast #70, I talked to you about “4 Relational Values For Your Life, Family, Church, and Workplace.” These relational values are: LOVE, CARE, HONOR, AND WELCOME. In Podcast #71, I talked to you about “4 Actions That Make Every  Relationship Stronger.” These actions are: SERVE, ENCOURAGE, TEACH, AND FORGIVE. So now in this podcast episode #72, I want to talk to you about: “4 WAYS TO LIFT UP THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.”

On the latest episode of Workplace Stories, we sit down with Koreen Pagano, author of "Building a Skills-Based Organization," to talk about one of the hottest and most complex topics in the world of work: how organizations can become truly skills-based, and what that really means in today's rapidly changing, AI-driven landscape. The conversation was loaded with practical insights, candid stories, and wisdom from the front lines of workforce transformation.Koreen shares her journey from ed-tech and product leadership to guiding hundreds of organizations through the maze of skills transformation. We discuss the crucial front-of-house and back-of-house elements, from clear communication and partnership models to building the right data and technology infrastructure. You'll hear fresh perspectives on using skills data as an early signal for retention, the shifting role of tasks versus skills, and what it means to future-proof your workforce for ongoing change. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[05:17] Skills vs job architecture approaches.[10:04] Navigating skills-based organizations.[14:33] Workforce data challenges with AI.[23:04] Skills over jobs for strategy.[27:04] Building resilient data systems.[34:33] Building trust in skill data.[39:32] Predicting employee retention through data.[45:59] Helping organizations align AI transformation with business goals.Why Skills Still Matter in a “Task-Talk” WorldThere's a persistent misconception that the age of “skills” has passed and that “tasks” offer a more practical lens, especially with AI in play. Koreen shares how, at a recent industry event, she heard professionals say, “We don't need to worry about skills, we have to focus on tasks.” But she thinks that it's misguided to abandon skills just when organizations are barely starting to understand and leverage them.While tasks describe the work to be done, skills reflect the underlying human (and sometimes machine) capabilities that make that work possible. Both are crucial, but without a foundational understanding of your organization's skills, mapping tasks is like building on sand.Front of House, Back of House, and Getting Skills RightWe need to balance “front of house” and “back of house” considerations when building a skills-based organization. Organizations often focus either on external communications, partnerships, and culture (front of house), or purely on technology, data, and infrastructure (back of house), but rarely both. Koreen is unique in straddling the two, and it's this holistic approach, blending people and process with tech and data, that sets successful organizations apart.The Evolution of Data and the Rise of Skills VerificationOrganizations are beginning to realize that their skills data isn't just about upskilling or reskilling; it's tightly connected to business-critical outcomes like retention, performance, and the ability to adapt to market shifts. Koreen shares compelling examples of using skills data to provide early warning on issues like employee retention, demonstrating data-driven HR in action.She also shared her pragmatic “3Vs” model for validating skills data: Validity (how well the data measures what it claims to), Variety (different types of data from varied sources), and Volume (quantity and frequency of data collected). You can make solid business decisions with basic self-reported skills data, but for higher-stakes calls, like hiring, you need much more rigorous, validated information.Jobs, Skills, and the Trap of Static StructuresOften, organizations anchor their skills strategy to their job architecture. Consultants and technology vendors frequently push companies to start by mapping skills to static jobs. We discuss why this is a dangerous place to “end”, because jobs, roles, and the tasks that define them are changing faster than ever, especially with AI in the mix. Koreen advocates for designing skills data that is flexible, lives independently, and can be mapped to jobs and tasks as they evolve, never becoming held hostage by legacy structures.Goals Over TasksPerhaps the most powerful call to action was the need to focus less on micromanaging the “how” (a long list of tasks) and more on the “what and why”, the goals, outcomes, and genuine business objectives. In a future where work is constantly shifting, organizations that empower people around purpose, supported by dynamic skills data, will outperform those stuck mapping today's tasks to yesterday's job charts.Building a skills-based organization isn't a project with a tidy endpoint, it's a transformation. As Koreen reminds us, it's hard, messy, and as much about culture as it is about data. But for the organizations (and the people) willing to experiment, adapt, and keep skills at the center of strategy, the payoff is a workforce that's ready for whatever comes next. Resources & People MentionedBuilding the Skills-Based Organization: A Blueprint for Transformation by Koreen Pagano Connect with Koreen PaganoKoreen Pagano on LinkedIn Connect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn TwitterSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

Companies once discouraged employees from posting about work online. Now, they’re actively recruiting staff to become in-house influencers on platforms like TikTok, according to the Wall Street Journal. Greg and Holly discuss why brands like Starbucks and Delta are embracing employee-generated content, how this trend is reshaping workplace culture, and what it means for the future of hiring and employer branding. Is being a social media creator the next must-have job skill? Caitlyn Johnston, KSL NewsRadio Producer and Freelance Video Creator, shares the pros and cons that could come of employees doubling as content creators.

Can employers take action when employees post something controversial on social media—off the clock, on personal time, and not on company platforms? In this episode, Miller Johnson employment attorneys Rebecca Strauss and Sarah Willey dig into one of HR's most frustrating modern issues: how to handle off-duty speech that makes its way into the workplace. Using the love (or hate) of pumpkin spice lattes as an example, we explore: When off-duty speech crosses into workplace concerns What legal obligations employers actually have How to balance employee rights with business reputation Why the First Amendment doesn't apply the way people think Practical steps for navigating tricky PR situations

Workplace stress isn't just about deadlines, deliverables, or difficult personalities — it's about the emotions underneath that shape every decision, every conversation, and every conflict. In this special masterclass, three experts break down what really happens inside us during moments of pressure, burnout, tension, and disconnection — and how to navigate those moments with clarity and strength. Executive coach and author Melody Wilding reveals the psychology of “sensitive strivers” — the high-achieving professionals who feel everything more intensely — and how emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, and lack of boundaries quietly sabotage their success. Leadership expert David Dye shows why most workplace conflicts escalate, how fear of status loss keeps people silent, and how a single courageous conversation can completely shift a relationship. Finally, researcher and consultant Steven Van Cohen exposes the loneliness crisis at work and teaches the emotional skills leaders need to build connection, belonging, and trust inside their teams. By the end of this masterclass, you'll understand your emotions, protect your boundaries, communicate with confidence, and navigate workplace crises with a calm, grounded presence — even when everything around you is pulling you off balance.

In this episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast, we delve into the importance of security and open communication within organizations. With a record number of elections and global distrust in institutions, security teams must foster collaboration and personal connectivity to build trust and ensure everyone's safety. The discussion covers the challenges of balancing security measures with human interaction, the significance of training programs, and how to manage and mitigate workplace anger effectively. The conversation also delves into the role of emotional intelligence in leadership and the need for comprehensive inside threat analysis to preemptively identify and address potential risks.Key TakeawaysSecurity is about collaboration, trust, and meeting people where they are—not just rules and restrictions.Open, honest conversations about difficult topics (like anger and workplace safety) are essential for a healthy organization.Security professionals should serve as culture-bearers, modeling the values and behaviors they want to see.Emotional intelligence and empathy are critical leadership skills, especially post-COVID.Security knowledge should be shared beyond the workplace to benefit families and communities.Addressing insider threats requires long-term, holistic approaches, not just reactive measures.Notable Quotes"The message is not always guns, guards, gates, lock it down. The message is: how do we work together to collectively secure everyone?""You have to meet people where they are. You can't be a robot.""Collaboration and trust are the foundation of civilization—and we need to get back to that.""Security is a primary culture bearer of what we do here.""Anger is real. It's in your organization. We have to be able to have these conversations and deal with it.""It all starts with you."To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com The good news is that federal security measures are preventing successful attacks; the bad news is that adversaries are examining every nook and cranny of a federal system and increasingly targeting the browser itself as an attack vector. During the interview, Scott "Monty" Montgomery gives a quick overview of Enterprise Browsers and Secure Enterprise Browsers.  After all, browsers have been around since 1994. It may be the only application ubiquitous on home-based machines and in enterprise systems. They were not designed for security; they were intended to open the internet to the World Wide Web, full of images, links, and audio. Malicious actors did not have to focus on an app with limited use; by targeting a browser, they have almost unlimited targets to attack. Montgomery mentions the increase in browser-based attacks. In fact, they increased by 198% in the second half of 2023. Scott explains that phishing persists because people are curious or fearful, leading them to click on malicious links. A Secure Enterprise Browser can help prevent many common phishing exploits. Additionally, an SEB can support policies and controls. This means that an SEB fits completely with any current Zero Trust initiatives across all agencies. Beyond that, SEBs can be configured to manage legacy systems and even operate in low-bandwidth environments.
