The Mindset Game® Podcast

The hardest part of change isn't deciding to change. It's letting go of old patterns and making the change stick.
In Episode 267 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Lisa Broderick, a senior advisor who helps leaders turn strategy into lasting execution, founder of Police2Peace, and co-author with Dr. Marshall Goldsmith of the book Permanence, about why insight alone rarely produces lasting transformation.
Drawing on a year-long study of Marshall Goldsmith's CEO clients, Lisa shares what she discovered about the simple daily practice that helped world-class leaders become the people they wanted to be. When we shift from measuring outcomes to measuring effort, and add real accountability, change becomes a daily practice rather than a one-time decision. In this conversation, you will learn:
How six daily questions, done in just two minutes a day, can reshape behavior over time
Why asking "Did I do my best?" is more powerful than asking "Did I succeed?"
Why self-trust is the foundation for sustainable personal and organizational growth

In complex environments, the leaders who stand out are the ones who make ideas easier to see.

In Episode 256 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Todd Cherches, CEO of Big Blue Gumball, about how visual thinking can transform the way leaders communicate, influence, and drive change.

Drawing on his work in VisualLeadership®, Todd explains why communication becomes more effective when people can picture your message clearly. When leaders translate ideas into images, metaphors, and stories, they create clarity and connection. In this conversation, you will learn:
Why people process visual information faster and remember it longer
How metaphors, stories, and simple frameworks can make complex ideas clear
Practical ways to shift from data heavy communication to meaning driven communication

The role of the manager is becoming more complex, and the ability to adapt in the moment is what sets effective leaders apart.

In episode 255 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Suzie Bishop, Vice President of Product Development at The Center for Leadership Studies, about how leaders can adapt in the moment to bring out the best in people and effectively drive behavior change.

Drawing on the Situational Leadership® Model, Suzie explains why effective leadership starts with understanding where someone is—both in their ability and their willingness—and then adjusting your approach in response. When leaders meet people where they are, they create the conditions for development, trust, and stronger results.

Together, they explore what it really takes to lead effectively in dynamic environments. In this conversation, you'll learn:
Why leadership effectiveness depends on matching your style to the situation 
How misalignment between leadership style and readiness can create stress, disengagement, or missed performance
What it means to build trust and create safety, especially during change

Drawing on decades of work with corporate teams and frontline organizations, Linda shares practical insights including:

How curiosity can transform difficult conversations
What spectrum thinking offers in place of binary reactions
Why consistent acknowledgment strengthens engagement and trust
How small moments of kindness influence customer loyalty and brand perception

AI is no longer a future conversation. It is already changing how decisions are made, how work gets done, and what leaders are being asked to navigate in real time. The challenge is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to lead people through the uncertainty it introduces.

In this episode of The Mindset Game® podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Tim Creasey, Chief Innovation Officer at Prosci and an internationally recognized authority on change management. With more than two decades at Prosci, Tim has helped shape the organization's research-based methodologies used by leaders around the world to drive adoption and results, with a deep focus on the intersection of individual and organizational change. 
Together, they explore what makes AI-driven change fundamentally different and what leaders need to focus on now. In this conversation, you'll learn: 
Why AI adoption does not have a clearly defined future state
How ongoing learning and uncertainty affect how people engage with AI
Why AI is best treated as a collaborator rather than a source of answers
