Episode 265: When things change too fast for us to keep up, and it seems like the things that made sense are gone, it can be frightening. In a novel of an incredibly disruptive time, the French Revolution, Charles Dickens wrote "A Tale of Two Cities," and he started the story with: "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times." It is a story of disruption -- just like the era in which we live today. The 21st century is just about 25 years old -- it's time to change the way you lead. How can we do our best in a changing world? In this episode, I talk with Michael Butera of Association Activision and Cheryl Ronk, CAE, of SoRight LLC about the importance of Adaptive Leadership and how it helps you Define Your Impact. We discuss purposeful evolution in real time, intentional agility in a disruptive environment, and making the most of the patterns and differences affecting your organization. We all agree that adaptation is the new super power! What do you think? Share a comment!

Episode 264: Did you know there is something out there holding people back? It's called The Bamboo Ceiling and it affects people of Asian descent. My guest, Khánh Vũ, CEO of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE), explains what it is, who it affects, and why we need to be aware of it. The Bamboo Ceiling can prevent your team members from achieving their potential and it can deprive them of opportunities to develop their leadership skills. Understanding culture and adopting different ways of interacting with your team can break down stereotypes and help your entire team overcome challenges. This is an insightful and fun conversation about breaking down barriers to understanding. How do you address The Bamboo Ceiling? Share a comment!

Episode 261: Technology is supposed to make our work easier but we are not always smarter about how we work. IT expert Brian Scott of Clear Tone Consulting is back for another fun discussion on technology for associations and this time we are talking Automation. To have a solid tech stack that serves the needs of the organization we need to practice system oversight and conscious decision making. However, it's people using those tech stacks so we need to be aware of Shadow IT, aging systems, technical debt, process debt, and Oompa Loompas driving Bentleys. That last phrase relates to artificial intelligence - find out how by listening to this conversation that will help you de-stress when it comes to your system management!

Episode 258: October is Dwarfism Awareness Month and I invited back Samyuktha Neeraja, MPH, CAE, to discuss what's it like living with this particular disability. Earlier in 2024, she shared her DEI story. In this episode, she continues her story talking about how Advocacy and Allyship are important in her personal experience. Samyuktha explains dwarfism and how it is different for everyone who has it, and we learn from her the types of accommodations that help her experience life independently. She shares her experiences as a child and her experiences as an adult who is sometimes mistaken for a child. It can be exhausting but having friends and family who advocate for her and support her makes the difference. She shares that allyship throughout her life has built her confidence and contributed to her becoming an advocate for herself and others. We also talk about attending conferences and what might make this easier for more people to participate. Samyuktha is always inspiring -- her insights will lift you up and show you that you can be an ally too! How are you an ally to those who need support? Share a comment!
