There are some very significant global brands nowadays, you know, like Google and Apple and Microsoft! That type of global phenomenon was almost nonexistent for much of human history. So, what is your workplace all about…is it part of a global brand? And what about your local church or denomination…what is its “brand”—is it easily recognizable by New Testament standards? Are you reasonably expectant you are representing “Christ and Him crucified” well? Join Kevin as we dive into the promise and the perils of a global brand!  // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

13 Feb 2024. We’ve got all the insights from the World Governments Summit as Richard headed down there to find out the latest. UAE-based Gargash Group has announced the opening of the Mercedes-Benz Brand Centre, a first of its kind facility in the region. As part of World Radio Day, we broadcast live from the centre at the Dubai Design District and speak to Thomas Schulz, General Manager, Mercedes-Benz (Dubai) about the radical disruption of the auto industry. Plus, as earnings season continues, we hear from not one, but two CFO’s about their latest earnings - first Adnoc Gas CFO Peter Van Driel and then Adnoc Drilling CFO, Youssef Salem.

Let's just say this isn't the conversation I thought we were going to be having. Raw, emotional, unflinchingly honest and vulnerable - this is a story of commitment and compromise, connecting with purpose and priorities in balancing a hugely demanding career with family. It's a deeply memorable episode and I know it will resonate with so many of you. Enjoy this inspirational conversation with the wonderful Torie Campbell.

Earlier in the summer I had the pleasure of speaking on stage at the CarFest summer festival here in the UK, where 60,000 people come together for music, mindfulness and motoring! I’m delighted that one of my fellow speakers on stage at CarFest is joining me today on The Unlock Moment.

Torie Campbell is a TV presenter and sports reporter who is best known for her Formula One coverage but is just as likely to be found in a helicopter or a powerboat. She has fronted the World Powerboat Championships, launched the FIFA Women’s World Cup and interviewed some of the biggest names in sport on the red carpet at the Laureus World Sports Awards.

But life wasn’t always so glamourous. You don’t get the breaks if you don’t put in the work and Torie’s early career was seriously hard graft – she can tell us shortly whether much has changed! A Butlins Redcoat, a music presenter for campsites and treading the boards on a shopping channel. When we talked about Unlock Moments in a field at a festival, Torie said to me – “I know exactly what mine is, and I’ll tell you on the podcast!”

James Ryan is the President and CEO of Mercedes Benz Financial Services in Canada and this episode is part of our CEO series.  

James started his life as a musician, studying Comparative Literature and then moving and working in Germany as an intern for Mercedes Benz in 1995. James has had multiple roles within the organisation leading to his current role as CEO and President responsible for a $5bn portfolio. 

James and I explore how his early years as a musician (drummer) have crafted his approach to leadership which has allowed James to be very thoughtful and deliberate as regards his leadership, impact and legacy. 

As a CEO James is humble enough to realise that he can’t be expert in all that he oversees, and his style allows him to empower others whereby he can lead by asking questions and increasing his own awareness in order to be the strategic as opposed to the technical operator. James understood the real power in leading by questioning and with that, James’ style of leadership was underpinned by his ability to listen and really hear others. 

The Post pandemic environment challenged James’s leadership and questioned his own thinking and norms when it came to the issue of physical office space and flexibility for his teams. James asked his staff a series of questions and quickly understand they need to be a Purpose Driven Organisation and that the office space was not to simply facilitate work but was necessary to create collaboration, connection and camaraderie. 

As part of James’ focus on listening, he carried out a series of ‘stay’ interviews to complement what they were hearing in the ‘exit’ interviews. The results were fascinating as it helped the organisation understand what people were motivated about including, purpose, personal growth and the importance of culture which has never been so important in post pandemic environment.  

James continues to listen intently to his people which has allowed him to consider how he can measure his leadership by focusing on four key components. 

1.    Engagement: the experience that leaders create for their people. 

2.    Involvement: allowing people to own the whole not just their part

3.    Trust: a critical component especially post pandemic as people ask themselves if they trust their leader and the organisation within which they work. The higher the trust the higher the performance as a business. 

4.    Values: values drive value and must be non-negotiable and embedded in all that you do.

James also shares the two questions that he always asks himself when he considers an opportunity in his life. Can I learn something? Can I bring something unique to the table? 

Enjoy this great episode.

Once again, we’re proud to partner with Mercedes-Benz (whose famous namesake was inspired by a young muse named Mercedes). Tune in daily for stories of women whose lives inspired work that has shaped our culture.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. 

Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Alex Jhamb Burns.

En este episodio platicamos  con nuestro amigo y experto colaborador en Deporte Motor, David Sánchez, para ver la evolución de nuestro piloto mexicano Sergio Checo Pérez y sobre su seguimiento en el equipo Red Bull después de su gran desempeño este 2022 que ha sido difícil para todos hasta para Verstappen con el cambio de reglas todo cambió y lo estamos viendo en la pista, una Fórmula Uno que ya necesitábamos con cambios en todos los equipos como la gran evolución de Ferrari.  Este 2022 seguiremos viendo cambios en los autos y en los equipos y quizá una mejoría en equipos como Mercedes que en el último Gran Premio que fue Miami vimos un avance después de tantos problemas que ha presentado los autos de la marca alemana. Muy interesante todo lo que platicamos con David, no te lo pierdas para conocer como será esta segunda parte en la F1 este 2022.

Saul Blinkoff shares his story of how he made his dream of becoming a Disney animator a reality. From an early age, Saul had clarity on his dream. When he was young, Saul’s mom took him to Disney to find out how to become a disney animator, and it was there that he found the first steps of the recipe to create his dream of becoming a Disney animator. Testing out the process, Saul decided to apply to Disney. When he got the rejection letter, he was just so happy that they knew his name and knew he was alive. After both him and his best friend Andy applied, Saul's second time, Andy got the call back and got the internship. Saul didn’t make it, so he called up the head of Disney and asked the million dollar question, "Why didn't I get in?". He then got the next steps of the recipe that he needed. He exceeded expectations. Then, the day arrived, Saul got the call. He got into Disney!

Saul Blinkoff is a Hollywood filmmaker who has worked for many high profile clients including; THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS, NETFLIX and AMAZON.
