    Convene Interview [CL26 SPECIAL] Building Sustainable Success Without Burning Out with Erin Stafford

    In this episode of the Convene Podcast, keynote speaker and self‑described “recovering type‑A overachiever” Erin Stafford talks about what sustainable success really looks like.

    Convene Interview [CL26 SPECIAL] How to Lead Through Disruption: Jay Kiew on Change Fluency and Resilient Teams

    In this episode of the Convene Podcast, keynote speaker and innovation strategist Jay Kiew introduces the concept of change fluency—the ability to view change as an opportunity rather than a threat—and shares why mindset, not management, is the key to navigating complexity. Drawing on behavioral science, personal experiences with resilience, and insights from conversations with event strategists, he explores how to combat change fatigue, leverage micro‑moments, design for serendipity, and adopt a mindset that shifts from “what’s present” to “what’s possible.” Jay Kiew’s Book: Change Fluency: https://www.changefluency.com/book Follow Convene: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/pcma-convene/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pcmaconvene/  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@pcmaconvene  Medium: https://medium.com/@convenemagazine  X: https://x.com/pcmaconvene   Contact Information: For any questions, reach out to Magdalina Atanassova, matanassova(at)pcma(dot)org.
