    268: AI in Talent Development/Training with Andrew Barry-BEST OF
    2024/12/22
    Andrew Barry is a seasoned expert in learning and development, with a rich background that includes executive roles at global organizations such as KPMG. He is the founder and CEO of Curious Lion, a company dedicated to high-performance leadership and learning. Andrew and his team have successfully developed thousands of leaders at prominent clients like Workday, Pinterest, IMG, and USAA. His innovative approach to corporate training is heavily influenced by his experience as a mentor in the 'Write of Passage' writing course, which he describes as the best cohort-based training program he has ever been a part of. In this episode, Barry delves into transformative learning and leadership. He discusses the role of curiosity, adaptive intelligence, and AI in training programs. Barry also offers practical tips for managers to foster continuous learning and align personal growth with business objectives. Discover how to create high-performance teams and navigate today's corporate complexities. Key Takeaways: -Learning as Transformation: Learning isn't just about transferring information; it's about transforming the learner. Managers need to focus on lifelong learning philosophies, especially in the age of AI, to ensure continuous growth and development. -Curiosity-Driven Development: Managers should identify what their team members are curious about and align these interests with business objectives. -Effective Use of After Action Reviews: Conducting thorough after-action reviews by unpacking stories from all team members can lead to better learning outcomes. -Role of Emotional Presence in Leadership: Instead of focusing on executive presence, leaders should aim for emotional presence. Being authentic, vulnerable, and having a strong point of view can make leaders more effective and increases credibility. "Learning isn't the transfer of information, it is the transformation of the learner. Information used to be power. Knowledge is still power. But really, I think it's forced us to think a lot about what is the difference between information and knowledge." - Andrew Barry #learning #professionaldevelopment #training #AI #artificialintelligence #knowledge #knowledgetransfer #credibility #leaders #managers #CEO #talentdevelopment Connect with Andrew Barry https://curiouslionlearning.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realandrewbarry Connect with Manage Smarter Hosts · Website: ManageSmarter.com · LinkedIn: Audrey Strong · LinkedIn: C.

  • 267: Triumph Over The Unexpected with Dima Ghawi

    267: Triumph Over The Unexpected with Dima Ghawi
    2024/12/08
    Our guest today is an expert in many things but "what to do when things don't go according to plan" in her personal and professional lives is what has driven her to amazing heights including climbing to the top of Mount Fuji!! . International Keynote Speaker, Mountain Climber and Best-Selling Author Dima Ghawi has 20+ years experience as a global leader working for Fortune 100 companies like IBM, Merrill Lynch and Intuit and another decade advising organizations and leaders to create courageous and inclusive work cultures. Her book is entitled 'Breaking Vases: Shattering Limitations and Daring to Thrive.' But it's the strength and resiliency she's shown in breaking free from years of cultural norms as a young girl growing up in Jordan that really show who she is, and the inspiration she offers. Dima's story began with an arranged marriage at the age of 19 in Jordan, which led to a challenging period of her life marked by deep depression and isolation. However, she found the courage to break free and pursue an MBA in San Diego, leading her to join IBM's leadership development program. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Leadership Lessons from Mount Fuji: The podcast highlights a story about a team-building exercise on Mount Fuji, emphasizing that true leaders support their team rather than racing to the top alone. Overcoming Cultural Barriers: Dima Ghawi shares her experience as a Middle Eastern woman navigating cultural differences in the U.S. Dealing with Workplace Jerks: The podcast discusses strategies for handling difficult colleagues. Breaking Free from Limitations: Dima Ghawi's journey from an arranged marriage to becoming a successful leader illustrates the power of self-reflection and education in overcoming personal and professional limitations. The Misfit Advantage: Embracing one's differences can be a powerful tool in the workplace. "A leader is a person who helps the team get to the top step by step. Sometimes we're pushing the team forward. Sometimes we're walking to their side, but not the one who leaves the team behind just to get to the top first." - Dima Ghawi #leadership #culturaldifferences #workplaceculture #careers #HR #Jordan #professionaldevelopment CONNECT WITH DIMA GHAWI https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimaghawi/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Dima-Ghawi-%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%85%D8%A7-%D8%BA%D8%A7%D9%88%D9%8A/100050491089661/ Connect with Manage Smarter Hosts · Website: ManageSmarter.com · LinkedIn: Audrey Strong · LinkedIn: C.

    2024/11/17
    Tom Beener is a securities attorney turned author, known for his book 'It's Better to March in Circles Than Not March at All.' Growing up with a father who was both a policeman and involved in the New York mob, Tom Beener was exposed to a world of gambling and organized crime from a young age. Despite these influences, he pursued a career in law, becoming a securities attorney. His experiences have given him a deep understanding of the balance between moral integrity and ambition in business. Through his storytelling, Tom offers actionable insights into high-stakes decision-making and leadership under pressure, making his contributions to discussions on ethics in business both compelling and invaluable. GET THE BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Better-March-Circles-Than-Not-ebook/dp/B0DDLHN2L2 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Ethics in Business: The importance of maintaining a strong moral compass in business,highlighting how ethical decision-making can impact credibility and trust. Leadership Under Pressure: The discussion explores how leadership in high-stakes situations parallels everyday management, emphasizing the need for decisive and clear communication. Leaders are advised to make decisions without over-explaining, as this can lead to unnecessary debate and controversy. Decision-Making Strategy: Tom introduces the concept of 'never complain, never explain' as a strategy for effective decision-making. This approach encourages leaders to focus on facts and outcomes rather than getting bogged down in justifications, which can lead to exposure and vulnerability. Credibility as Currency: Credibility is likened to currency, highlighting that it takes time to build but can be quickly lost through poor decisions. Maintaining credibility requires consistent ethical behavior and decision-making that aligns with organizational values. Avoiding Rule Bending: Tom warns against bending rules, as it can undermine a leader's credibility and trustworthiness. Leaders are encouraged to adhere to established codes of conduct to maintain integrity and foster a trustworthy organizational culture. "You don't dwell. The more you try to explain your actions, the more you open the door for debate." - Tom Beener #leadership #mafia #morals #conscience #businessethics #ethics #management #toughdecisions #HR #businessdecisions #business #sales #mob #highpressurejobs Connect with Manage Smarter Hosts · Website: ManageSmarter.com · LinkedIn: Audrey Strong · LinkedIn: C.
