Courage to Advance with Kim Bohr
Childcare Isn't a Perk. It's a Workforce Strategy.
We’ve spent years implementing HR technology to fix workplace problems that technology was never going to fix. Calli Bakken built a career inside that system, watched it fail, and came out the other side with a different answer: if you want employees to show up fully, start by solving the problems they carry through the door. After 15 years in HR, HR tech, and an employee engagement startup, Calli Bakken reached a conclusion most organizations aren’t ready to hear: companies had the data on what their people needed, and they chose not to act on it. No p...

Why 70% of Change Initiatives Fail and What It Means for AI
What if 70% of change initiatives are failing for the exact same reason and your AI rollout is next? Ted Wolf, founder of Guidewise AI, has spent decades building businesses and overseeing technology implementations, including 300+ ERP rollouts, watching the same failure pattern repeat. The technology worked. The business case was solid. People just didn't change. After scaling a staffing company from $1,000 to 650 employees and an Iron Mountain acquisition, Ted co-founded Guidewise AI with his son to solve the problem nobody in the AI conversation is naming directly: people adoption is where every implementation actually wins or loses. ...

How Kim Bohr Thinks About Leader Blind Spots for Preventing Trust Erosion

In this episode, Kenny Lange sits down with Kim Bohr, President & COO at SparkEffect, to unpack why well-intended leaders unintentionally erode trust through small daily actions. Kim explains SparkEffect Trust Elasticity™, how psychological safety strengthens teams during disruption, and why alignment between words and actions matters more than most leaders realize.

Why Your Organization Needs a Fractional CHRO
What if your organization’s biggest people problems aren’t a skills issue — they’re an access issue? Only 2% of global CEOs have ever been CHROs. Dr. Suzi Potts spent 25 years watching family-owned businesses hit critical moments, generational transitions, restructurings, down markets, without anyone in the room who understood the human side of the decision. So she left a prestigious SVP role and built something different: a fractional CHRO model that gives small and mid-size businesses access to board-level people strategy exactly when they need it. In this episode, Suzi and Kim Bohr dig into how the model wo...

Rightsizing Your Policies: Stop Managing to the 5% with Mitchell Jeffery
Your policies are not failing because of the 5% who might abuse them, but because they quietly erode trust with the 95% who are doing their best work. When disruption hits, control-heavy policies put managers in an impossible spot and make your top performers feel punished instead of trusted. Mitchell Jeffery, founder of Ember Collective, helps organizations redesign HR policies from control-based to trust-centered frameworks that actually support modern work. In this episode, he and host Kim Bohr break down why rigid attendance and one-size-fits-all rules damage credibility, and how reframing “fair” vs. “equitable” can transform the employee experience.

From Survival Mode to Trust: How One CEO Transformed Healthcare Leadership
71% of employees experienced a crisis in the past 24 months, but only 36% of organizations emerged with strengthened trust. The difference? Leaders who understand that rebuilding trust requires listening, not fixing. When Tammy Green became the third CEO in three years, 160 employees were in survival mode. Physicians were leaving. The board said, "Everything's broken." Most leaders would have arrived with a 90-day turnaround plan. Tammy made a harder choice: she stopped talking and started listening. The culprit? Leaders who confuse action with progress. Without authentic listening and trust reserves, organizations break under pressure rather than bend.

Google vs. Barcelona: Two Paths for AI and Trust
The traditional change management playbook doesn't work for AI—and most organizations are about to learn this the hard way. David Eliot, PhD candidate and author of Artificially Intelligent: The Very Human Story of AI, reveals a critical insight: those building AI systems actively benefit from keeping people confused. When confusion reigns, democratic participation gets deferred to tech executives who have vested interests—not the leaders and employees who'll live with the consequences. The proof? Google's failed Toronto smart city versus Barcelona's thriving democratic smart city. Same technology. Opposite outcomes. In this conversation, David and Kim Bohr (P...

The Motivation Myths Burning Out Your Best Leaders
Your best leaders aren't leaving because they lack passion—they're leaving because you're using motivational myths that defy brain science. Dr. Bobby Hoffman reveals research on 6 million college students showing extrinsic motivation (money, recognition, status) drives performance—yet we shame people for wanting it. The result? Self-doubt, anxiety, burnout, and during change initiatives, your top talent walks out the door. The culprit? The "follow your passion" narrative creating guilt around fundamental human needs while leaders design change initiatives for their own mental models instead of employees' self-beliefs.
