    Why Your Best Ideas Die in Meetings — And How to Save Them with Storyteller Corey Rosen. Plus: Your Data Isn’t Convincing Anyone

    In today’s fast-paced workplace, the best ideas aren’t killed by bad intent — they’re suffocated by poor communication. So how do you breathe life back into your pitch, your program, your vision? On this episode of Great Mondays Radio, host Josh Levine welcomes Corey Rosen—author, storyteller, and founder of Your Story, Well Told—to unpack the power of storytelling as a tool for influence and internal change. Corey’s new book, A Story for Everything, offers a clear framework for using stories to move people to action at work, at school, and at home. This conversation explores why data alone doesn’t persuade, how to structure a compelling story (hint: it takes more than just “what happened”), and what to do when your idea hasn’t happened yet. Corey shares real-world case studies—from saving a beloved classroom pet program to writing better fundraising emails—that show how story builds connection, trust, and buy-in. Whether you’re trying to sell a new initiative to your boss, secure funding for a project, or just get your team to work better together—this episode will teach you how to lead with story, not slides. About Our Guest: Corey Rosen is a writer, improviser, and the author of A Story for Everything and Your Story, Well Told. He’s the founder of Your Story, Well Told, a consultancy that helps people develop and deliver their personal and professional stories with impact.

    Surveys Won’t Save You: How to Measure Culture Like a Business Metric

    In a workplace landscape full of buzzwords and broken surveys, how do you actually measure culture in a way that drives change? On this episode of Great Mondays Radio, host Josh Levine sits down with Leanne Elliott—occupational psychologist, co-host of the UK’s #1 management podcast Truth, Lies, and Work, and founder of Oblong—to dismantle the myths around culture and redefine it as a business-critical system rooted in behavior. This conversation dives into why the most popular culture surveys often miss the mark, how psychosocial risk factors offer a better measurement model, and what it really takes to turn people data into business results. We talk about why defining “culture” is still a struggle, how to connect team behavior to strategy, and what kind of leadership infrastructure companies will need to compete in the next decade. If you’re tired of fluffy culture talk, confused by what data to collect, or ready to build a culture function with the same rigor as finance—this is your episode. About Our Guest: Leanne Elliott is an occupational psychologist and co-founder of Oblong, a UK-based consultancy that helps business leaders build measurable, meaningful workplace cultures. She’s also co-host of Truth, Lies, and Work, the UK’s #1 management podcast. Learn more at oblonghq.com or connect with Leanne on LinkedIn.

    Ghost Jobs, Bad Onboarding, and the Hidden Dangers of Today’s Hiring Trends

    As layoffs mount and hiring freezes spread, we’re seeing a disturbing trend: job posts that never lead to real offers, onboarding that feels like an afterthought, and AI tools quietly narrowing who even gets seen. On this episode of Great Mondays Radio, host Josh Levine sits down with executive and career coach Rikki Goldenberg to unpack the hidden dangers reshaping how companies hire—and what it means for culture in the long run. This is a conversation about ghost roles, bias in hiring algorithms, and why a broken onboarding process doesn’t just slow you down—it signals who you value. Rikki shares stories from the front lines: candidates ghosted after eight rounds, roles that never existed, and what happens when companies try to cut costs without understanding the real price. If you’re a leader who’s asked, “Why can’t we find the right people?” or if you’ve been on the receiving end of a hiring process that left you questioning your worth—this episode is for you.

This is a conversation about wellbeing beyond wellness perks, the power of naming your inner parts, and what happens when teams stop pretending to be perfect and start showing up with emotional honesty. Tracy shares insights from years of coaching leaders and teams to identify what’s really driving behavior—whether it’s the procrastinator, the perfectionist, or your inner champion.
