    Sponsorship as a Leadership Strategy | Taletha Best, YMCA
    Apr 2 2026
    Ep. 18 Event sponsorship can be transactional or transformational. At the Women Empowering Women Conference, the presenting sponsor the YMCA did more than put their name on the event. They brought their team, created space for growth, and treated this experience as an extension of their leadership development strategy. In this live conversation, Chief People & Culture Officer Taletha Best breaks down how the Y builds culture from the inside out—through employee engagement, leadership development, and real community connection. Because strong organizations don’t just invest in marketing, they invest in their people. 🎯 Key Takeaways: The difference between sponsorship and active investment The evolution of the YMCA—from the Young Men’s Christian Association to an inclusive organization serving the unique needs of each community.

    5-Step Cycle for Organizational Change Management | Jacqueline Phichith
    Mar 30 2026
    You bought the system. You held the meeting with your team. So why isn’t anything changing? Ep. 17 Jazzy T sits down with Jacqueline Phichith to break down the real reason change fails inside organizations, and it has nothing to do with the technology. It’s about where people get stuck. Jacqueline introduces the ADKAR framework, a simple but powerful way to understand how people actually move through change. Awareness – You know the change is happening Desire – You actually want to engage with it Knowledge – You understand how to use it Ability – You can apply it in real life Reinforcement – It becomes part of how you work This conversation will help you identify exactly where the breakdown is—and how to move people forward with clarity, not frustration. 🌐 Resources: Jacqueline Phichith, Communications & Change Leadership | CCMP, 📍 CooperCompanies, Rochester, NY 🔗 LinkedIn: Jacqueline Phichith | LinkedIn Hear more from our Women's Empowerment Series Why 45% More Women Work in Construction | Jenna Tatar, Riedman | Podcasts 9th Annual Women Empowering Women Conference March 18, 2027 Learn more here Learn more about your ad choices.
