  • How Can Business Leaders Restore Trust in the Age of Distrust?
    A growing number of surveys around the world highlight the continuing erosion of trust in our major institutions. The 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer revealed that only 48% of the U.S. population trusts business as an institution.

    This crisis in consumer trust affects business brands, one of the biggest factors in consumers’ purchasing decisions: brand trust drives loyalty.

    Listen to John Hagel leading a conversation with Michelle Holliday and Dan Rockwell on what is really behind consumers’ ability to trust and what makes or breaks trust in a brand or organization.

  • Announcement: Season Two!
    Welcome to Pass the Mic Season Two!

    In our first season with 20 episodes, we gathered 4 to 6 people to tackle one question at a time in an attempt to challenge the status quo and our own beliefs on various topics like communities, mindfulness, rituals, trust, regenerative practices and many more.
    We brought together more than 60 passionate people to discuss:
    - What are the real powers of communities?
    - How can we overcome age discrimination?
    - How can leaders lead from their hearts?

    These are just some of the discussions, and as you can see the topics were wide but the questions precise.

    Our new season is called “A New Age of Conscious Leaders”.
    In this second season, we’ll be talking with CEOs, VPs, entrepreneurs and business managers who are mindfully letting go of the old paradigm, the patriarchal model, pyramidal economic view of the world to embrace a world of new possibilities.

    Participants:
    Virginie Glaenzer, Host
    Lori Schwebel, Strategist and Editor
    Laura Silvius, Producer

  • How Can Non-Duality Help Us Be the self-authoring of our own lives?
    This is the 20th and last episode of our first season of Pass The Mic Podcast.
    Throughout this season we’ve disrupted our ways of thinking on many topics, and we thought that there were no better ways to end the season with an opportunity to challenge our sense of self.
    We are discussing Non-duality with Richard Sylvester.
    In this discussion we’ll try to understand what non-duality is and how it can dramatically change our world view. Non-duality is a fascinating topic because it challenges our identity and our boundaries which all our conflicts seem to come from in our personal and professional lives.

  • With is Love, After All, with Pádraig Ó Tuama
    Welcome to intimate, one-on-one conversations with people from various walks of life, as we revisit one of the most iconic and fascinating ideas in history, an idea so strong it can change our world in crisis: Love.

    Today, we listen to Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet, theologian and the host of ‘Poetry Unbound’ from On Being Studios.

    The current pandemic has dramatically increased our anxiety, as we’re propelled into an unknown world, without a new narrative to guide us and add meaning to our lives. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S, affecting 40 million adults over the age of 18.

    When our habits are disrupted, our jobs are disappearing, our relationships are tested, and our truths are questioned, we wonder, what remains? When everything has gone haywire and nothing makes sense anymore, what’s left is love. But, how do we define love after all is gone?

    Love is more than a feeling that a person has for another person. It’s an intimate relationship between ourselves and the world.

    So, when that world is breaking apart, what is love, after all?

    About our Speaker:
    Pádraig Ó Tuama is the host of ‘Poetry Unbound’ from On Being Studios. He is a poet and theologian and his work centres around themes of language, power, conflict and religion. From 2014-2019 he was the leader of the Corrymeela Community, Ireland’s oldest peace and reconciliation community. Padrait’s published work incorporates poetry _Readings from the Book of Exile [longlisted for the Polari Prize 2013]; Sorry for your Troubles_, prose (In The Shelter) and theology “Daily Prayer” with an upcoming book called “Borders and Belonging” scheduled for Nov 2021.
