What if the quietest voice in the room held the most valuable insight? In our next episode of the UNFILTERED Series, Daphna and I explore what it really means to be an introvert in an extroverted workplace. We uncover how introversion is defined by energy, not shyness, and why so many workplaces miss out on the best thinking when only the fastest talkers are heard. Together we highlight practical ways to design meetings and team environments that invite thoughtful contributions, protect energy, and celebrate differences. Daphna shows how introverts can lean into natural strengths like observation, focus, and 1:1 influence, while extroverted leaders can take responsibility for guiding the process, so every voice is valued. The result is a powerful reminder that leadership is not about volume, yet about creating space for authentic impact.

CLICK HERE and join the 30-Day Anti-Anxiety Reset. Starts October 27, 2025. I'll never forget sitting at my desk, crying for 30 straight minutes. My position at Amazon had just been eliminated. I was the sole breadwinner. And I was completely paralyzed by anxiety. That breakdown changed everything. Not because things got easier, but because I finally learned how anxiety was actually costing me—promotions, sleep, relationships, and my sanity. Here's what most people don't understand: anxiety isn't just uncomfortable, it's expensive. When you're too anxious to speak up in meetings, apply for stretch roles, or negotiate your worth, you're leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table every year. Join the Anti-Anxiety Reset Challenge CLICK HERE to join ·       The real cost of workplace anxiety (it's more than you think) ·       How anxiety keeps you stuck in toxic work environments ·       Why "just managing stress better" doesn't actually work ·       The 4-week framework that stops anxiety spirals and gets you unstuck ·       Real stories of professionals who broke free from career paralysis Here's the truth: You can watch all the YouTube videos and read all the books. But knowing what to do isn't your problem—you're not taking action because anxiety has you frozen. I've seen dozens of clients transform their careers in weeks (not years) once they learned to manage their anxiety. One landed a job with a $10k raise before severance ran out. Another escaped a toxic boss and found work they actually enjoy. Another stopped working nights and weekends without changing jobs. The difference? They did the work. If you're tired of anxiety controlling your career decisions, I'm hosting a 30-Day Anti-Anxiety Reset Challenge starting October 27th. Learn the exact tools I used to go from crying at my desk to confidently leading my career. Ready to take back control?

For the first two decades of our marriage, Jim and I did youth ministry as volunteers.  We spent thousands of hours with kids from various backgrounds and family structures.  I worked with girls who were daughters of pastors and daughters of high-powered executives, some from broken families and some from healthy solid families.  These relationships often started when these girls were 11 or 12 and continued until they graduated from high school.  However, two special relationships have lasted over 35 years.  These two young ladies I invested my Jesus life into are now parents of teenagers.  To have lived a lifetime with them has been such a reward to me and my faith.  Are you intentionally investing your Jesus life in someone today?  You are surrounded by others who need you to live life alongside them.   

Summary: In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, Denise Thompson and John R. DiJulius III discuss the alarming trend of employees, particularly Gen Z, wanting to sever their work and personal lives. They explore the implications of this disconnect, the role of workplace culture in mental health, and strategies leaders can implement to foster a more supportive environment. The conversation emphasizes the importance of purpose in the workplace and how it can enhance employee satisfaction and productivity, ultimately benefiting the organization as a whole. Takeways: Nearly half of Gen Z workers prefer to separate work and personal life. A significant percentage of employees would consider extreme measures to disconnect from work stress. Workplace culture plays a crucial role in employee mental health. Leaders should create environments where employees feel whole and valued. Purpose in work is essential for employee satisfaction and retention. Effective communication and boundaries are vital for employee well-being. Employee experience directly impacts customer experience and satisfaction. Building trust and authenticity in the workplace fosters a positive culture. Leaders must recognize the importance of employee happiness as a business imperative. The interview process should focus on finding the right fit for both the employee and the organization.

AI fails when goals are unclear—success comes from aligning Gen AI with business priorities, setting measurable outcomes, and balancing structure with flexibility to turn innovation into impact. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which discusses why Gen AI fails without focus—and how to fix it.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/why-gen-ai-fails-without-focus-and-how-to-fix-it/

My husband Jim and I are very different.  He has done a lot of formal mentoring, and I tend to do more informal mentoring.  Over the years, I have taken the time to live life alongside so many different women.  Some older than me, some younger than me.  Since Jim and I are involved in marriage mentoring with Christian Entrepreneurial couples, I often spend time with the wives working life out with them.  You see, mentoring for me looks like phone calls, drop-in visits, shopping trips, and texting.  The women I pour my Jesus life into rarely have time to meet for coffee, but we can share coffee over the phone or Facetime just the same.  My mentoring often looks scattered and informal, but I am available when needed and recognize that just stepping out for a call is part of my discipleship ministry.  Who do you pour your Jesus Life into? 

Artificial Intelligence is transforming corporate learning, but not every organization is doing it in ways that employees actually trust. In this episode of Workplace Stories, we talk with Peter Manniche Riber, Digital Learning & AI Leader, about how his team built AI-powered learning tools that employees truly believe in.From creating the “Dilemma Coach” and “IDP Coach” to redefining personalization and data privacy, Peter demonstrates what happens when innovation is combined with practicality, and why sometimes the smartest move is to build, rather than buy.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[00:00] Why “believability” is the key to AI adoption.[04:50] How Novo Nordisk's “Dilemma Coach” and “IDP Coach” came to life.[09:00] Why less data, and the right data, creates better personalization.[17:00] Balancing privacy, ethics, and personalization in AI learning.[25:30] Working with works councils and data regulators early.[33:00] Scaling learning equity and access across global teams.[39:40] What AI means for strategic workforce planning.[41:30] Peter's advice for L&D leaders ready to experiment with AI.The Power of “Believability” in AI LearningAt Novo Nordisk, Peter's team coined a simple but powerful concept, believability. It means people will only engage with AI tools if they recognize themselves and their context in the experience. Through hundreds of user tests, they found that when an AI response feels personal and relevant, adoption skyrockets.Rather than hoarding corporate data, they ask employees directly about their goals, challenges, and career aspirations. This approach not only keeps data secure but also ensures every interaction feels real, human, and trustworthy.Why Novo Nordisk Built Its Own AI ToolsWhen it came to designing learning applications, Peter's team decided to build rather than buy. The reason? Control, context, and compliance. Off-the-shelf tools couldn't meet Novo Nordisk's strict privacy standards or reflect its unique leadership culture. By developing internally, the team could train AI on company-specific frameworks, design intuitive UX guardrails, and maintain full ownership of their data, while spending less than a handful of traditional e-learning modules would cost.Redefining Data and TrustInstead of scraping internal systems, Peter's philosophy is simple: ask people. Employees willingly provide fresh, accurate context when they understand how it's used. Transparency and consent are baked into the process, with large-font screens explaining how data is handled and why it matters.The result? Nearly 90% of employees feel completely safe using these tools, a remarkable trust level for AI-driven systems inside a regulated, global company.The Future of L&D and AI ExperimentationPeter's message to learning leaders: stop waiting for perfection and start experimenting. You don't need a massive budget or a team of data scientists to create meaningful AI applications. What you need is curiosity, clear hypotheses, and the courage to learn by doing.AI won't replace thoughtful design or human judgment, but it can unlock a new era of personalized, scalable, and believable learning.Resources & People MentionedNovo NordiskConnect with Peter Manniche RiberLinkedIn: Peter Manniche RiberConnect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn TwitterSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Finding Balance: Ádám's Quest for Workplace Well-Being Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-15-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A szél halkan suhogott az őszi levelek között, amikor Ádám befejezte munkanapját a Budapest Botanical Garden-ben.En: The wind softly rustled through the autumn leaves as Ádám finished his workday at the Budapest Botanical Garden.Hu: A kora délutáni napfény megcsillant a színes leveleken, a kertben pedig a természet csendje és szépsége emlékeztette őt arra, amire vágyott: a nyugalomra.En: The early afternoon sunlight sparkled on the colorful leaves, and the garden's quiet beauty reminded him of what he longed for: peace.Hu: Ádám egy középkorú projektmenedzser volt, aki fáradozott a fenntarthatósági projekteken.En: Ádám was a middle-aged project manager who labored on sustainability projects.Hu: Bár a munkáját szerette, sokszor túlhajszoltnak érezte magát.En: Although he loved his work, he often felt overwhelmed.Hu: A mai napon azonban különösen fontos volt.En: Today, however, was particularly important.Hu: Az év végi irodai megbeszélésre készült, melyet a kert díszes, csendes sarkában tartottak meg.En: He was preparing for the end-of-year office meeting, which was held in the garden's ornate, quiet corner.Hu: Judit és Péter már várták, hogy elkezdjék.En: Judit and Péter were already waiting to begin.Hu: A találkozó kezdetén Judit, a lelkes marketinges, bemutatta az előző évi eredményeket.En: At the start of the meeting, Judit, the enthusiastic marketer, presented last year's results.Hu: Péter, a számok embere, az új célokról beszélt.En: Péter, the numbers guy, spoke about the new goals.Hu: Ádám hallgatta őket, de gondolatai a személyes nyugalmáról és az utóbbi időben megélt feszültségeiről jártak.En: Ádám listened to them, but his thoughts wandered to his personal tranquility and the tensions he had experienced lately.Hu: Tudta, hogy most van az ideje cselekedni.En: He knew it was time to act now.Hu: Amikor sor került az ő előadására, egy mély lélegzetet vett.En: When it was his turn to present, he took a deep breath.Hu: „Kedves kollégák," kezdte Ádám, "hiszem, hogy ahhoz, hogy jobban teljesítsünk, nemcsak a számokra kell figyelnünk, hanem magunkra is.En: "Dear colleagues," began Ádám, "I believe that to perform better, we need to focus not only on the numbers but also on ourselves."Hu: "Judit és Péter kérdőn néztek rá.En: Judit and Péter looked at him questioningly.Hu: „Egy új tervet javaslok," folytatta Ádám.En: "I propose a new plan," continued Ádám.Hu: „Olyan projektet, amely nemcsak a fenntarthatóságot célozza meg, hanem a csapat jólétét is.En: "A project that targets not only sustainability but also the well-being of our team."Hu: " Rövid csend következett.En: A brief silence followed.Hu: Judit aggódó szemekkel nézett rá, Péter pedig szemöldökét ráncolta.En: Judit looked at him with worried eyes, and Péter furrowed his brow.Hu: Ádám érezte, hogy szavai nem találtak azonnali támogatásra, de halkan folytatta: „A természetnek tanulnunk kell.En: Ádám felt that his words didn't immediately find support, but he continued quietly: "We need to learn from nature.Hu: Ahogy a fák felkészülnek a télre, úgy nekünk is időre van szükségünk a megújuláshoz.En: Just as trees prepare for winter, we need time to renew ourselves."Hu: "Péter megvakarta a fejét, és azt mondta: „Ádám, hogyan kapcsolódik ez a projektjeinkhez?En: Péter scratched his head and asked, "Ádám, how does this relate to our projects?"Hu: ” Ádám magabiztosan válaszolt: „A boldog munkakörnyezet javítja a teljesítményt.En: Ádám confidently answered, "A happy work environment improves performance.Hu: Ha a csapat jól érzi magát, akkor még jobban tud dolgozni.En: If the team feels well, they can work even better."Hu: "A szavak helyet találtak.En: The words found their place.Hu: Judit lassan bólintott.En: Judit slowly nodded.Hu: „Hallottam, hogy a sógorom cége ilyet csinált, és az eredmények nagyon pozitívak voltak”, tette hozzá.En: "I heard my brother-in-law's company did something like this, and the results were very positive," she added.Hu: Péter is kezdett megértéssel nézni.En: Péter also began to look understanding.Hu: „Lehet benne valami," vallotta be.En: "There might be something to it," he admitted.Hu: Az őszi levelek újra susogni kezdtek a lágy szellőben, és Ádám érezte a természet békéjét belül is.En: The autumn leaves began to rustle again in the gentle breeze, and Ádám felt the peace of nature within as well.Hu: A változás szele fújt a megbeszélésen.En: The wind of change blew through the meeting.Hu: Aznap végül elfogadták Ádám javaslatát.En: That day, they ultimately accepted Ádám's proposal.Hu: A megbeszélés végén Ádám megkönnyebbülten nézett körül.En: At the end of the meeting, Ádám looked around with relief.Hu: A kert szépsége és a kollégái támogatása erősítette benne azt az érzést, hogy helyesen cselekedett.En: The beauty of the garden and the support of his colleagues strengthened his feeling that he had acted correctly.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy a saját szükségletei is fontosak, és hogy hangot adhat nekik a munkahelyén is.En: He learned that his own needs are important and that he can voice them in the workplace as well.Hu: Ez az egyensúly új kapukat nyitott számára, mind a munkában, mind a mindennapokban.En: This balance opened new doors for him, both in his work and in his everyday life.

If there is one thing I learned from my first mentor, Mike, it is that mentoring and discipleship is something to be done in the context of life and not in a hurry.  It was not a box to be checked but time to be set aside.  It was an investment of Mike's life into mine and, honestly, as it turns out, an investment of my life into Mikes.  Since I experience God differently than Mike, he learned things from me too.  It's important to understand that every time you pour your Jesus life into someone else, you will, in return, have their Jesus Life poured into you.  This interchange is part of the process of disciple-making.  Mentoring with discipleship takes time, but it is an investment that pays lifelong & eternal rewards.  Pour your Jesus life into someone and watch them pour back into you.  It will change your life for the better.

As a 16-year-old and a new believer of just 3 years, I needed someone to invest their life in mine.  Was that discipleship or mentorship that I needed?  Enter - Mike.  Many would argue that being a disciple-maker is inherently different than being a mentor.  Mentors often help someone become more like the mentor; Disciple makers help someone become more like JESUS.  Discipleship invites someone to follow us as we follow Jesus and then step aside so that we can learn directly from the Master Himself.  I argue that Mike poured his Jesus life into my life and taught me not just about Jesus but about life and Jesus – no matter what you call it.  As believers, everyone needs a Paul figure that will pour their Jesus Life into them and a Timothy to pour their Jesus life into.  Being mentored and mentoring others has rapidly deepened my faith.  Get a mentor and start mentoring today.

Whether it's a podcast, whether it's Instagram, whether it's photography, mean an iPhone is, I the first camera I ever had, my iPhone's 10 times better than that. So anybody can create. It's just learning to tell a story... One is courage to say something that takes some bravery to put things out there that follow your conviction. And then the second thing is just not being overwhelmed. There's so many outlets, whether it's filmmaking, photography, Instagram, I mean, all the way down to future films.

With the cost of living crisis hitting hard and unemployment on the rise, how is the mental health of employees fairing? 

When you retire, does your calling retire too? Does our calling run out when Social Security kicks in? I don't think so. Your mission field assignment may or may not change later on in life. Some of you have a career that could go until very late in life. Just because you're 65 doesn't mean that you're done working. Sure, maybe you need to change things up or perhaps you need to work fewer hours. But it's important to realize that as a Jesus follower, everywhere you go, everyone around you should be benefiting from your faith, whether they believe in Jesus or not. What better place to invest your life than in an industry you have spent your life learning? The American dream of retirement is a lie. 30 years of vacation is not a dream; it's a nightmare. Ask God what He has for you in retirement.

In this episode of The WorkWell Podcast™, Jen Fisher speaks with Zach Mercurio, author of "The Power of Mattering: How Leaders Can Create a Culture of Significance." Despite billions invested in engagement programs and wellbeing initiatives, employees are more disengaged than ever—and the problem isn't what most leaders think. This conversation reveals why mattering can't be addressed through programs and perks, and what leaders must do differently at the interaction level to help people feel truly seen, valued, and significant.Episode Highlights:Why engagement is at its lowest point in a decade despite $2 billion invested in programsThe difference between mattering, belonging, and inclusion—and why mattering is what's missingHow we've lost the skills to care for each other after 25 years of digital communicationThe "sprinkler issues" that silently kill motivation and create learned helplessnessWhy high performers and frontline workers are most at risk of feeling invisibleThe three practices that help people feel significant: noticing, affirming, and showing they're neededWhy you can't give effective feedback to someone who doesn't first feel that they matter to youHow showing others they matter actually regenerates your own sense of significanceQuotable Moment"You don't show people that they matter in spite of their low performance.

Are you a fan of Southern Gothic, ghost stories, speculative fiction, or horror? Do you love supporting local authors? Are you hoping to follow in their footsteps and publish your own short stories or novel? This summer, we brought two Jacksonville authors together for a "spirited" discussion at the Library. They'll talked about Daniel's writing process, what inspires him, and what he's working on next.  Daniel Powell teaches a variety of writing courses at Florida State College at Jacksonville. He enjoys reading and writing stories across a broad spectrum of genres, but he has an affinity for horror, science fiction, and fantasy. He lives with his wife and children near the Timucuan Preserve, where you can frequently find him jogging those haunted trails. Some of his works include Down in the Sawgrass Boneyard, These Strange Worlds: Fourteen Dark Tales, and In the Walls and Other Stories.  Read Daniel's Work Place a hold on Daniel's books the Library's online catalog. Note: If you don't like waiting on holds, you can also find several of his e-books on BiblioBoard Library. Several of his books were given a "Select Award"—meaning his books don't just appear in the Indie Florida collection, they are available and recommended to readers nationwide. Did you know that any book by a featured Lit Chat author counts toward the Jax Stacks Reading Challenge? Join in on the fun!
