Stephen LeDrew sits down with Mark Milke, president of the Aristotle Foundation, for a candid Three Minutes on the state of DEI in Canada. Mark explains why diversity, equity, and inclusion - once a tool to correct historical injustices - has become misapplied in workplaces, universities, and corporations. Using real examples, he shows how DEI policies can ignore merit, create new inequities, and shift focus from individual capability to characteristics like skin color. A sharp, insightful critique of modern DEI practices and the consequences of using the past to justify present discrimination. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How do we know if our company is pro-Christianity, pro-God, pro-family, or pro-US of A? Is it even important for us to know these things? I think it is. Almost every organization has excess dollars that they are investing in other organizations with an agenda. What is the agenda that your company or organization is supporting? Are they supporting your values, neutral on them or working against them? What we are warning about today is making sure you're not supporting companies fighting against the very things that we know and love: God, family, and country. I hope it doesn't surprise you, but there are thousands of companies and organizations in this great country that hate your biblical morality and want to destroy your family. Find out who you really work for. 

Workplaces today are more diverse than ever—not only in background, culture, and perspective but also in age. One of the most fascinating trends shaping organizational life is the reality that Baby Boomers are remaining in the workforce longer and, in many cases, even returning to work after retirement. This shift creates a unique opportunity for generational learning—a dynamic exchange of knowledge, skills, and experiences across different age groups.

In this episode, Dr. David G. Smith reveals why 96% of women see real progress in gender equality only when men are actively engaged as allies—and why the biggest barrier isn't #MeToo fears, but outdated zero-sum thinking that equity for women means loss for men. From addressing the mentor hesitation to exploring how fair share caregiving at home unlocks workplace equity, David offers a practical roadmap for leaders ready to move from performative allyship to meaningful action.

One of the clear differences between US and European workplaces are the social protections over here. Also Longer maternity leave, more holidays and sick pay as well as more generous workplace pensions. But America is growing faster and its citizens are becoming richer than us. So is it time we diluted some of the generous extras we take for granted here in order to boost incomes? It was one of the themes this week at the EU's workplace research agency Eurofound in Loughlinstown. Joining Joe to discuss further was Ivailo Kalfin the Executive Director of Eurofound.

Summary  In this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Scott McInnes discusses the challenge of disconnection in the workplace with guests Susie Leacy and Kevin Empey. They explore the impact of remote work on employee connection, the role of leadership in fostering a cohesive culture, and the importance of intentional strategies to build relationships among employees. The conversation also touches on the multi-generational workforce and the need for organizations to adapt their communication and engagement strategies to meet diverse needs. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that connection is a shared responsibility between leaders and employees, and that fostering a culture of connection is essential for organizational success.    Takeaways  Disconnection is a significant challenge in modern workplaces.  Connection is essential for productivity and resilience.  Leadership plays a crucial role in fostering connection.  Organizations must adapt to maintain engagement in remote work settings.  Intentional strategies are needed to create opportunities for connection.  The multi-generational workforce presents unique challenges and opportunities.  Onboarding processes should focus on building community and connection.  Employees have a role in co-creating workplace culture.  Flexibility in work arrangements comes with shared responsibility.  Connection should be prioritized over merely addressing disconnection.    Chapters  00:00 Introduction to Disconnection in the Workplace  04:47 Understanding the Challenge of Disconnection  09:01 The Importance of Connection in Modern Work  12:03 Bridging the Gap: Building Cohesion and Engagement  16:15 Navigating a Multi-Generational Workforce  21:55 Intergenerational Connections in Care Settings  24:35 Bridging Generational Gaps in the Workplace  29:42 Intentional Onboarding and Cultural Integration  33:06 Creating Community in a Hybrid Work Environment  39:13 Co-Creating Culture: The Role of Employees and Leaders

What happens when gratitude becomes more than a feeling — when it turns into a shared responsibility?In this week's episode, we explore gratitude as a community practice — how remembering what sustains us can become a guide for how we lead, work, and live together. We talk about the real consequences of recent SNAP cuts, the vacuum they've created, and the people and organizations stepping up to make sure everyone is still fed. These stories reveal what we call gratitude in action — not just saying thank you, but showing up for one another in tangible, compassionate ways.We also unpack how this lens of collective gratitude could reshape how governments and businesses operate — replacing toxic individualism with mutual care, responsibility, and respect for the many unseen hands that sustain every community and workplace.If you've ever wondered what it looks like when compassion drives policy, leadership, and daily life — this conversation will give you a glimpse.

Burnout isn't just about dramatic crashes or sudden breakdowns - far more often, it creeps in slowly, going undetected until leaders and high performers find themselves exhausted, cynical, and detached. It's an uncomfortable reality, particularly in workplaces where relentless pace and hyper-productivity can masquerade as success.I spoke with Dr Claire Plumbly, psychologist and founder of Plum Psychology, who specialises in helping professionals recover from burnout. We challenge assumptions around burnout - as Claire says, it isn't simply a workload issue, and it's certainly not a badge of honour. Burnout can exist on a continuum: you can be hitting every marker for burnout and still function, still deliver. That's often missed by leaders and managers, especially when high output is mistaken for wellbeing.The conversation moves beyond the familiar territory of “resilience” and “stress management”, and digs into the deep-seated organisational factors that keep burnout hidden or, worse, normalised. We explore how team culture, boundaries, and everyday interactions can either perpetuate burnout or be used to genuinely create thriving, healthy teams.I'm all about provoking leaders to think differently. It isn't enough to simply identify stress signs; the real impact comes from regular, genuinely caring one-to-ones, creating true psychological safety, and holding space for rest and reflection - rather than cramming more into every vacant minute.Key takeaways are practical: model healthy boundaries, celebrate the power of pausing, and rethink what performance really means. Your self-worth and value cannot simply be measured by what's ticked off a to-do list each day. Sustainable high performance comes from the rhythm and rituals of work, not the heroics of overwork.Claire's book and resources offer insight for leaders who want to support teams to feel connected, valued, and safe. Burnout flourishes in silence - the antidote is care, conversation, and culture. The show notes have the links you'll need.Let's be clear: work should enable people to thrive, not merely survive.More about Claire:Dr Claire Plumbly is a Clinical Psychologist, author of Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You, and founder of Plum Psychology - a team of psychologists offering trauma-informed burnout recovery both in-person and online. Through one-to-one work, intensive-therapy, and workshops, she helps busy professionals shift out of survival mode and into sustainable success.Links to contact Claire:LinkedIn: Dr Claire PlumblyFacebook: @drclaireplumblyInstagram: @drclaireplumblyTikTok: @drclaireplumblyWebsite: www.plum-psychology.comResources & ReferencesInsight to Action: Burnout Intervention - Downloadable ResourceWatch this episode on YouTubeRetained Partnership Info

Is the real world actually shaped for social interaction!?In Episode #499 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: 2 x books of Susan Cain's 'Quiet' alongside Paul McKenna's 'Instant Influence & Charisma', the quiet revolution of introverts rising up, what the book gets right (high reactivity, Big Five personality traits, pseudo‑extroversion), whether energy is the true differentiator, why environments like open‑plan offices and classrooms may suit the loud but don't always produce the best work or learning, Juan's immense distaste of charisma hacks (power poses, havening), how confidence can be generated from practice rather than posture & how culture shapes what “good” interaction looks like.Huge thanks to Petar for the support, greatly appreciated!Stan Link: https://stan.store/meremortalsTimeline:(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:04) Two Books: Quiet by Susan Cain and Instant Influence & Charisma by Paul McKenna(00:05:03) What would a mostly introverted world look like?(00:06:10) Key claims: IQ parity, persistence, and high reactivity(00:08:45) Biology tidbits: lemon test, Big Five, and old pseudoscience(00:10:56) How many introverts?

I've had so many jobs over the years — from babysitter to office administrator — and I didn't know until much later that my struggles in certain environments were connected to being autistic. In this episode, I talk about what it means to navigate workplaces that aren't built for neurodivergent minds, and how universal design could change everything. This is about moving from just "accommodating" us to truly including us.Watch this episode on YouTube.If you'd like to know more about topics discussed in this episode, check out:"Workplace Accommodations and Neurodiversity" by Susanne Bruyère and Adrienne Colella (chapter in Neurodiversity and Work: Employment, Identity, and Support Networks for Neurominorities edited by Eric Patton and Alecia Santuzzi)"Accommodations vs Universal Design" by CultureAlly"Autistic Adults' Views and Experiences of Requesting and Receiving Workplace Adjustments in the UK" by Jade Davies et al.Universal Design: Creating Inclusive Environments by Edward Steinfeld and Jordana Maisel"How Can the Work Environment Be Redesigned to Enhance the Well-Being of Individuals With Autism?" by Michał Tomczak"Autism and the Right to a Hypersensitivity-Friendly Workspace" by Bouke de Vries"'It's Like a Ramp for a Person in a Wheelchair': Workplace Accessibility for Employees With Autism" by Michal Waisman-Nitzan et al.  Theme music: "Everything Feels New" by Evgeny Bardyuzha.

Aretha Franklin sang about it. Rodney Dangerfield joked about it. And Jackie Robinson famously said, like him or not, he'd earned it. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. We are living in a period where respect is a neglected virtue — too often sacrificed in public discourse, online exchanges, and everyday interactions. Robert L. “Bob” Dilenschneider aims to change that, even if only one interaction at a time. Bob is the founder of The Dilenschneider Group, which, since October 1991, has provided strategic advice and counsel to Fortune 500 companies, professional organizations, trade associations, educational institutions, and leading families and individuals around the world. Bob's newest book, his 20th, is Respect: How to Change the World One Interaction at a Time. The book is a timely reflection on the urgent need for civility in an era of deep division. Drawing on both his life and professional experience and the wisdom of 13 admired leaders, Respect outlines five practical strategies for restoring civility and rebuilding mutual understanding. “It can feel like the world is broken,” Bob acknowledges in his book. The solution, he believes, does not rest with political leaders or other highly influential individuals but with individuals, regular citizens, who can take steps to restore a culture of respectfulness.

What would it look like if organizations were intentionally designed for human flourishing instead of mere survival? Most workplaces today are leaking energy—burnout is rising, workers are underpaid, and leaders are still chasing profits at the expense of people.We've never had more knowledge about wellbeing, yet we remain starved for practice, with millions stuck in jobs that deny them dignity, security, and purpose. But today, that changes.In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari sits down with Andrew Soren to explore how to design organizations where people can flourish using the ancient Greek concept of Eudaimonia—living a life of purpose, growth, and virtue.Andrew Soren is the founder and CEO of Eudaimonic By Design, a global network of facilitators, coaches, and advisors who partner with organizations to design systems that enable people to flourish. For more than 20 years, he has worked at the intersection of positive psychology, organizational design, and leadership development, helping companies around the world embed purpose, meaning, and wellbeing into the heart of work. Andrew also teaches in the University of Pennsylvania's Master of Applied Positive Psychology program, sharing the science and practice of human flourishing with the next generation of leaders.Things you will also learn in this episode:• The meaning of Eudaimonia and how it differs from Hedonia.• Why modern society is disconnected from nature and what it means to “suffer well.”• The role of decent work (freedom, equity, security, dignity) as the foundation for flourishing.• The business, competitive, and moral cases for designing organizations where people thrive.• Practical ways leaders can create cultures of care, growth, and purpose at work.Tune in now and learn how ancient wisdom and modern science can help us bring virtue and flourishing back into our workplaces.✅Resources:• Eudaimonic by Design: https://www.eudaimonicbydesign.com/andrewsoren • Eudaimonic by Design: https://www.linkedin.com/company/eubd/ • Confuscian and Aristotelian Philosophy: https://bigthink.com/thinking/confucius-aristotle/ • Changemaker Wellbeing Index: https://wellbeingindex.ca/ • Column: U.S. Surgeon General: Loneliness Is at Heart of Growing Mental Health Crisis: https://www.uclahealth.org/news/publication/column-us-surgeon-general-loneliness-heart-growing-mental ✅Books:• The Case for Good Jobs: How Great Companies Bring Dignity, Pay, and Meaning to Everyone's Work by Zeynep Ton: https://a.co/d/f8OmSfT • Hardwired for Happiness by Ashish Kothari: https://a.co/d/8qWGfEU

"Sometimes when we think we've hit a dead end or that something isn't working, an even better opportunity comes along." -Dr. John O'Brien Dr. John O'Brien is a licensed psychologist, professional speaker, and executive coach based in Portland, Maine. With a career spanning over 30 years in the mental health field, he specializes in creating lower-stress work environments that promote employee engagement and productivity. Dr. O'Brien has served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Maine in Augusta, and he is the author of the book "Rudeness Rehab: Reclaiming Civility in the Workplace and Your Home Space." His expertise uniquely positions him to address challenges in mental health and workplace dynamics, offering insights that blend psychological understanding with practical business applications. Episode Summary: In this episode of "Oh, My Health...There Is Hope!" hosted by Jana Short, we welcome the insightful Dr. John O'Brien to discuss his recent book, "Rudeness Rehab: Reclaiming Civility in the Workplace and Your Home Space." Dr. O'Brien delves into the pervasive issue of rudeness and incivility, which has been exacerbated by the isolating impact of COVID-19, divisive politics, and the impersonal nature of social media. He shares a personal anecdote of overcoming a discouraging professional setback, highlighting how resilience and support networks can lead to unexpected opportunities. Throughout the conversation, Dr. O'Brien emphasizes the critical importance of compassion and active listening in both professional and personal contexts. The episode examines how leaders can demonstrate appropriate behavior within their organizations to foster a culture of respect and civility. With insights drawn from psychology and his professional experiences, Dr. O'Brien offers actionable advice for individuals seeking to navigate rudeness and foster a more collaborative and supportive environment. The dialogue further emphasizes the power of introspection and communication in transforming relationships at work and at home. Key Takeaways: The pervasive issue of rudeness at work and at home can be mitigated by fostering a culture of respect and empathy. The isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified incivility, but tools like active listening and mindfulness can help. Leaders must model civility and effectively address rudeness in real time to cultivate a positive workplace environment. Effective communication requires recognizing when to respond and when to let go, especially in digital interactions. Personal anecdotes demonstrate resilience against negativity and the importance of seeking better opportunities.

What happens when your child's diagnosis doesn't just change your daily routine, it changes your entire business model? In this episode of Parents Who Think, Danusia Malina-Derben talks with psychologist and executive coach Jessica Chivers about how motherhood redefines ambition, and reshapes working life in ways no corporate handbook prepares you for. Jessica opens up about navigating exclusions, assessments, and school meetings while building a business, and how that tension has led her to become even more ambitious.

Joshua Ryle brings over two decades of corrections experience to this deeply insightful conversation about the hidden psychological patterns that shape corrections culture. From his early days at the Tennessee Department of Corrections to his current role as a training sergeant, Ryle has observed firsthand how the corrections environment creates behavioral patterns that affect officers both professionally and personally.At the heart of this episode is Ryle's new training program focused on workplace toxicity in corrections. He explains how officers spend their entire workday in a hypervigilant, fight-or-flight state that gradually transforms how they interact with everyone around them. This physiological reality leads to communication challenges, negative filtering, and self-sabotaging behaviors that follow officers home and contribute to concerning wellness statistics in the corrections profession.What makes Ryle's approach unique is his focus on behavioral science and practical solutions. Rather than simply identifying problems, he provides clear strategies for shifting from self-criticism to self-reflection, improving communication despite technological limitations, and creating a culture where colleagues support rather than undermine each other. Ryle's program has gained such recognition that it's now being implemented nationwide through ARC Tactical.Whether you work in corrections or are interested in workplace culture transformation, this episode provides valuable insights into how awareness and intentional behavior change can create healthier environments in even the most challenging professions.
