Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

E87 - Phase Zero: The Hidden Advantage In Change - Podcast With Amy Yackowski 44:02

vor 2 Tagen44:02

44:02

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change , the podcast where we explore the unseen forces that shape how we lead, adapt, and thrive in the face of change and transformation. In this episode, I am joined by the insightful and bold Amy Yackowski —founder of Painted Porch Strategies and a passionate advocate for building shift-ready teams and leaders. Together, we dive into the critical, often overlooked period before change officially begins—a space Amy calls Phase Zero . Long before the project plan kicks in, before kickoff meetings and comms plans, Phase Zero is where emotional readiness, mindset, and organisational truth-telling take shape. It is the terrain where insight is gathered, assumptions are surfaced, and success—or struggle—starts to take root. We explore why skipping Phase Zero can derail even well-planned change, how to navigate time constraints, and how AI tools like Copilot can surface early insights. Amy also shares how Stoic thinking shapes her work and why change must be personalised—not one-size-fits-all. Whether you are a project lead, a change advisor, or just navigating another wave of workplace evolution, this episode offers a fresh lens and some very practical tools to help you start smart—right from Phase Zero. I am grateful to have Amy chatting with me today. About Amy "Oh, Shift".

We also touch on the role of psychological safety, the difference between goals and challenges, and how leaders can become coaches who build capability, not just compliance. If you’re curious about how to embed continuous improvement in a way that feels human, sustainable, and empowering — this one is for you. I am grateful to have Tracy chatting with me today.

Mental Models For Managing Change - The Pareto Principle 6:22

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change . I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change . In this episode of Mental Models for Managing Change , we explore a mental model that helps us cut through complexity and focus our energy where it really counts: The Pareto Principle , also known as the 80/20 Rule. Named after economist Vilfredo Pareto, this model reveals a powerful pattern — that a small percentage of inputs often lead to the majority of outcomes. In change work, that means identifying the vital few actions, stakeholders, or conversations that drive the biggest impact. If you have ever felt spread too thin, overwhelmed by competing priorities, or stuck in busywork that goes nowhere, this episode is for you. Learn how to spot the 20% that truly matters, make better decisions with limited time, and shift from doing more… to doing what matters most. Listen now to discover how the Pareto Principle can bring clarity, focus, and traction to your next change effort. Send us a text Ali Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn…

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change , the podcast where we explore the unseen forces that shape how we lead, adapt, and thrive in the face of change and transformation. In this episode, I am joined by someone who’s been on the frontlines of organisational culture in some of the world’s most recognisable companies — Mehmet Baha , author of the newly released book Creating Psychological Safety at Work .

From personal stories of toxic cultures to practical tools you can apply today, Baha shares what it takes to build environments where people feel safe to speak up, make mistakes, and bring their whole selves to work. If you are a leader, change practitioner, or simply someone trying to create better conversations at work, this one is for you. I am grateful to have Baha chatting with me today. About Baha 🎯 What Is Important To You?

7:21

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change . I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change . In this episode of Mental Models for Managing Change , we explore a mental model that helps us pause, reflect, and challenge how we make sense of the world around us: The Ladder of Inference . Developed by organisational psychologist Chris Argyris and later popularised by Peter Senge, this model shows how quickly we move from observing facts to taking action — often based on assumptions, not evidence. It is especially useful in moments of tension, misalignment, or misunderstanding — and in change work, those moments happen often. If you have ever walked away from a meeting wondering, “How did we end up on such different pages?” , this episode is for you. Learn how to recognise the thinking patterns that drive your decisions, how to stay grounded in what is observable, and how to open up better, more constructive conversations — even during complex change.

From her beginnings in China to her journey as an international student in Australia, Susan has embraced the discomfort of change to unlock personal and professional growth.

If you're navigating a time of uncertainty or change, this conversation offers powerful insights on how to move forward with confidence, embrace new opportunities, and transform challenges into growth.

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change . I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change . In this episode, we explore a mental model that invites us to look beyond the immediate impact of change: Second-Order Thinking . So often, change initiatives are shaped around what we expect to happen next. But in reality, change rarely follows a straight line — and first-order decisions often lead to second and third-order consequences we did not anticipate. Second-Order Thinking encourages us to slow down and ask better questions — “And then what?” It helps us move beyond short-term fixes and consider the ripple effects, unintended outcomes, and longer-term dynamics our decisions might set in motion. If you have ever implemented a change that worked on paper but created new challenges in practice, or if you are aiming to lead change that truly lasts, this episode offers a practical lens to deepen your thinking and strengthen your strategy. Listen now to discover how Second-Order Thinking can help you lead change with foresight, clarity, and intention. Send us a text Ali Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn…

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change , the podcast that explores the evolving landscape of change management, leadership, and transformation. Today, I am chatting with Ian Heard Director of Public Sector Modern Work at Microsoft ANZ — a leader who is right at the heart of how AI is reshaping the way we work. In this episode, we talk about the real story behind GenAI Copilot, what change looks like inside Microsoft, and why the role of a change manager might just be turning into a “ Chief Excitement Officer .” From navigating resistance (yes, even inside Microsoft) to embracing agentic workflows, this episode offers a grounded look at how leadership and curiosity go hand in hand in today’s fast-moving world. We also dig into what makes AI adoption truly work — the mindset, the momentum, and the magic that happens when teams stop asking if it works and start exploring how it can help. This one’s real, practical, and full of good humour, forward-looking ideas, and insights for anyone navigating what’s next. I am grateful to have Ian chatting with me today. About As Director for Microsoft's Public Sector Modern Works business in ANZ I lead an all-star team, helping our customers across Government, Health and Education to re-imagine productivity through Cloud and AI solutions such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft 365 and Windows 365. This role builds on a career at Microsoft where I have been fortunate to be part of major market transitions in Enterprise Productivity solutions across ANZ and Asia with solutions such as Microsoft Team, Windows 365, Microsoft 365 and the development of Microsoft Security. As a leader I am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation. I prioritize empowering my team to stay ahead of industry trends, whilst being customer obsessed and centre my approach on challenging them to both exceed their potential and their customer's expectations. Prior to Microsoft, I cultivated a career with diverse experiences as a leader in multiple geographies and role types in organisations from start-ups and scale-ups through to multi-nationals. Complementing my corporate career, I have a passion for social impact and seek to be active in the NFP space, as seen as my tenure leading Microsoft's ANZ Give initiative and tenure at Ovarian Cancer Australia as a Board Observer. I am always eager to connect with like-minded professionals and explore opportunities for collaboration and growth. Let's connect and discuss how we can drive innovation and success together.

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change . I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change . In this episode, we explore a model that helps us look beyond what is visible in times of change: the Iceberg Model . Often, we respond to what we can see on the surface — missed deadlines, disengaged teams, unexpected resistance. But, as with an iceberg, most of the real forces driving those outcomes lie beneath. The Iceberg Model encourages us to go deeper — to understand the patterns, structures, and mental models that sit underneath the events we see. When we take this layered view, we can begin to address root causes, not just symptoms. If you have ever found yourself solving the same issue repeatedly or wondering why certain problems persist despite good intentions, this episode offers a powerful way to reframe your approach. Listen now to discover how the Iceberg Model can help you lead more thoughtful, sustainable change in your organisation. #ChangeManagement #MentalModels #SystemsThinking #OrganisationalChange #LeadershipDevelopment #ManagingChange #ComplexityThinking #TheInnerGameOfChange Send us a text Ali Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn…

Hi everyone, and welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change . I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change . Before we dive into today’s topic, let’s quickly cover what a mental model actually is. A mental model is simply a way of thinking — a framework that helps us understand the world, make better decisions, and solve problems more effectively. Think of it like a blueprint for how to approach challenges and navigate complexity. Here’s a simple analogy: Imagine you are driving to a new destination. Without a map, you could easily take wrong turns, waste time, or even get lost. But with a map — your mental model — you have a clear route to follow, helping you avoid mistakes and arrive faster and with far less stress. In the same way, mental models give us a clearer path when managing change. They help us break down complexity, anticipate obstacles, and guide us toward better outcomes. And today, we’re diving into a mental model that sits at the heart of successful change initiatives : The Influence Model.

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change , the podcast that explores the evolving landscape of change management, leadership, and transformation. In today's episode, I am joined by Lisa Carlin , a strategy execution expert, to dive into one of the biggest conversations in business today; AI strategy and adoption. With the AI hype everywhere, how can organizations separate signals from the noise and make smart strategic decisions? Lisa brings her deep expertise to help us cut through the noise, focus on what matters and harness AI for real impact. We will explore practical adoption strategies, leadership's role in driving AI success and the mindset shift needed to embrace this powerful technology. I am grateful to have Lisa chatting with me today. About Lisa Hi, I'm a Strategy Execution Specialist. I work with leaders who want to leave a legacy of change and innovation. I help them to plan and execute their strategic projects when stakes are high. They have ambitious goals, and are faced with major risk, tough cultures or likely resistance. My clients love having an independent sounding board and expert advice, so they can deliver their plans with confidence. After 50+ implementations, I've learned that traditional strategy approaches alienate staff and hinder implementation. Over this time, I’ve pioneered a culture-friendly, human-centered approach that speeds up change momentum. AI is now a major part of my focus: developing effective AI strategies to fast track success. My career includes roles at McKinsey and Accenture, then running my own business since 1999. When I’m not at work, I’m gardening with the dogs. *** Work with me: 1. 😊🌱📈 Contact me to convert your strategies into executable projects, plans and results.
