  • Why Your Gut, and Your Data, Might Both Be Lying to You, with Cher Murphy
    2025/06/04
    Most leaders believe they're making smart decisions, drawing on instinct, leaning on data, and doing their best to read the room. As Cher Murphy points out, both instinct and data come with baggage. Gut reactions can be biased. Data can be skewed. And in a world where trust in leadership is running thin, the ability to slow down and ask, “Where is this coming from?” might be the most overlooked leadership skill of all.

    Cher unpacks how trust has quietly eroded over the years, not just from external crises, but from internal missteps, including pushing purpose-driven messaging without backing it up. She explains how leaders can start to rebuild credibility through something surprisingly simple: explaining their thinking. That idea grows into a much bigger conversation about how leadership works. It’s not about heroic individuals. It’s about a system that distributes clarity, context, and connection throughout the organization, even when things are moving fast.

    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

    • (00:00) Why your gut and data might be lying.
    • (02:10) Data vs. gut: Why both need scrutiny.
    • (08:53) How trust eroded, and what leaders can do now.
    • (17:00) The convergence of people functions and the role of context.
    • (26:09) What AI should never replace in leadership.
    • (36:32) Leadership as a system vs. leadership as a trait.

  • Why Your Strategic Plan Might Be Trapping You, with Lisa Kay Solomon and Jeffrey Rogers
    2025/05/20
    Most leadership development still clings to certainty, quarterly goals, strategic plans, official futures etched in stone. But what if that mindset isn’t just outdated, it’s dangerous? In this episode, Dani Johnson and Stacia Garr sit down with futurists and experience designers Lisa Kay Solomon and Jeff Rogers, two minds helping rewire how leaders think about the future, not as a distant unknown, but as a daily design challenge. What unfolds is a conversation that’s as practical as it is provocative, revealing how our obsession with predictability might be blinding us to the signals we most need to see.

    For learning leaders, especially those in HR and people analytics, this episode offers a wake-up call. Future thinking isn’t a luxury or a moonshot exercise. It’s a leadership muscle, and the longer it goes untrained, the more fragile our organizations become. Lisa and Jeff unpack what it really means to design for the future, not just in abstract vision decks, but in how we design meetings, questions, experiences, and even relationships. Their approach is grounded in curiosity, humility, and a radical shift from answers to inquiry.

    By the end, listeners don’t just understand why futures thinking matters, they feel invited to do something about it. The conversation offers not just hope, but tools: from rethinking design as a vehicle for emergence, to spotting and disrupting “official futures” inside their own organizations. Whether you’re planning your next L&D initiative or shaping strategy for a shifting workforce, this episode shows you how to lead with intention, not from the past, but toward what’s possible.

    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...
    • (00:00) The overlooked leadership skill hiding in plain sight.
    • (03:30) Meet the minds behind Elevate: Futurists with a purpose.
    • (09:00) From theory to traction: Making futures thinking useful now.
    • (15:00) Design that disrupts: How to spark new thinking in any room.
    • (22:00) The silent trap: How a single “official future” keeps orgs stuck.
    • (30:40) Elevate’s true mission: Courage, connection, and change for learning leaders.

  • "Wait, You Still Make People Fill Out HR Forms?" with Josh Novelle
    2025/05/14
    Many teams don’t realize how much time their people are losing to repetitive tasks and clunky systems. From filling out HR forms to bouncing between platforms, what’s called “employee experience” often adds up to unnecessary friction. The real problem? No one’s questioning whether those steps need to exist at all. There’s an unspoken assumption that better design means more interface, more features, more engagement. But what if the most valuable tech quietly solved problems in the background, no logins, no dropdowns, no disruption?

    Josh Novelle, Global Head of People Solutions at Convatec, argues that it’s time to rethink how we define value in HR tech. In his world, the best tools don’t ask people to step out of their workday to interact with them, they fit invisibly into the flow. He points out how incentives from vendors often run counter to what organizations need, and how this misalignment quietly drains productivity. From nudging employees to use their leave before burnout hits, to questioning why booking time off isn’t already embedded in your calendar, he challenges long-held assumptions with clear, practical alternatives.

    This conversation goes beyond tool choices. It raises a bigger question: what if your systems could work together behind the scenes to deliver support without demanding attention? As the boundaries between work, systems, and experience blur, the teams that win won't be the ones with the flashiest platforms. They'll be the ones who make their tech nearly disappear.

    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

    • (00:00) Redefining employee experience beyond HR systems.
    • (08:50) Choosing tech partners and surfacing vendor misalignment.
    • (18:00) The rise of headless tech and middleware's quiet power.
    • (27:10) Subtle interventions that reduce burnout.
    • (35:00) Where AI fits into employee experience.
    • (44:30) Why leadership development fails without operational alignment.
