    How to Vote for Character, Not Charisma: Courage and Integrity in a Narcissistic Age with Dr. Chuck DeGroat
    2026/10/21
    Have you ever followed a leader who shared their struggles on stage, said all the right things about brokenness, and still left everyone around them feeling smaller? Therapist and professor Dr. Chuck DeGroat has a name for that: fauxnerability. Chuck returns to A World of Difference the day after launching his new book, Who You're Becoming, for an honest conversation about narcissism in leadership across tech, politics, faith communities and nonprofits, and the slow work of building real character. Content note: this episode discusses narcissistic and spiritual abuse. Please listen with care. In this episode: Fauxnerability: how performed vulnerability draws people in, and why real vulnerability connects us instead of shrinking us Why Chuck sees narcissism as a defensive structure built over decades, and why he holds empathy and accountability together Return to office and narcissistic supply: why some leaders need people back in the room, and the "mirror-hungry leader" who needs an audience Virtue signaling, performative allyship, and the difference between groupthink and a wholehearted yes Disintegration at work: when mission statements say one thing and the patterns beneath the waterline say another About Dr. Chuck DeGroat: Chuck is a professor of pastoral care and Christian spirituality at Western Theological Seminary, where he is founding executive director of the clinical mental health counseling program, and a licensed therapist and spiritual director who specializes in abuse, trauma and leadership health. He is the author of When Narcissism Comes to Church, Healing What's Within, and Who You're Becoming: The Slow and Courageous Work of Cultivating Character in a Narcissistic Age (Tyndale), which earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly.

    Stop Doing Change to People: Human-Centered Leadership in the AI Era with CEO Karen Zeigler
    2026/10/07
    What if people do not resist change at all, and what they resist is change that is done to them? Karen Zeigler, CEO of Human Score, joins Lori to explain why so many change and AI efforts stall, and what leaders can do differently this week. This conversation was recorded live on LinkedIn, with comments and questions from the community along the way. In this conversation, Lori and Karen explore: Why leaders misread their own workforce, and how fear shows up as projection What Karen means by "AI is us," and why using AI in a human-centered way takes conscious intent The business case for designing work so that people and AI each contribute what they do best Why people resist change that is thrust upon them, and how transparency, agency, and removing even one obstacle build trust How a Nutri-Score label on a frozen pizza in the Netherlands inspired a score for how healthy an organization is for its people About Karen: Karen Zeigler is the CEO of Human Score, a diagnostic that shows leaders the conditions inside their organization across work design, organizational structure, culture, decision making, and fairness. She spent more than a decade in financial services leading teams through mergers, and she brings a human-centered design lens to change and AI adoption.
