Podcast interviews go deeper into the ideas behind my work. Why does conventional change management keep producing the same results? What does an engagement-first approach look like in practice? These are a good place to start before we talk.

What Leaders Deserve to Know About Change
Disengagement and turnover aren't the price of change. They're the price of communication left to chance. Jeff explains why leaders have been handed half the toolkit and made wholly responsible for the results, what skeptical staff are actually signaling when they push back, and why the word "resistance" is a dead end dressed up as a diagnosis.
The Influence Economy
What Skeptical Audiences Are Telling You
When someone pushes back, it’s easy to treat it as opposition to manage. It isn't. Jeff explains what skepticism from external audiences actually signals, why pushing back at the level of position almost always makes it worse, and what political canvassers can teach leaders about influencing people who have no obligation to change their minds. A conversation about building credibility and influence outside the organization, even when the room starts cold.

What "Resistant to Change" Is Really Telling You
Labeling people as resistant to change is both a judgment and a dead end. Jeff explains what the word resistance obscures. The information hiding underneath it is exactly what leaders need to move forward. A conversation about listening differently when change conversations get hard.
Talking to Change
Motivational Interviewing for Leaders
A conversation on leading change without losing yourself. The loneliness of leadership isn't a personal failing. It's a structural outcome of a model that was never designed to be sustainable. Jeff discusses what it costs leaders to carry the full weight of change alone, why Motivational Interviewing offers something most leaders have never received, and what it means to teach these skills in ways that actually fit the conditions leaders work in.
Let's Talk Transformation
Transforming Conversations for Change
Why "resistance to change" is often an excuse for not doing the harder work of listening. When people hesitate, they're rarely resistant. They're unequipped, unclear, or navigating mixed feelings. Jeff explains how leaders can work with uncertainty rather than label it as opposition.
