  • Alan Schomaker: Leading Digital Transformation Without Losing the Human Touch

    Alan Schomaker: Leading Digital Transformation Without Losing the Human Touch
    2026/07/23

    In a world where AI, cloud systems, and constant disruption redefine how we work, how do leaders stay human, calm, and effective? In this episode, a CIO shares hard-won lessons on digital transformation, culture change, and the everyday habits that keep leaders grounded under pressure.


    In this episode, Kevin and Alan Schomaker discuss:

    • Bridging technology expertise and people-centered leadership
    • Cultural change in digital transformation and ERP migration
    • Communication skills in an AI-driven world
    • Balancing technology with human connection and focus
    • Personal leadership philosophy, crisis leadership, and continuous growth

    Key Takeaways:

    • Technical change is the easy part; the real challenge is leading the cultural shift that new systems demand.
    • Clear, simple communication, especially around processes and expectations, is now a core leadership skill, not a “nice to have.”
    • Leaders must intentionally create boundaries with technology to protect focus, presence, and genuine human connection.
    • Small daily practices like deep breathing, walking, and quiet thinking time can reset the brain and prevent overwhelm.
    • Continuous reading, reflection, and refining a personal ethos are essential for anyone who wants to grow into a resilient, effective leader.

  • Dr. Archana Dubey: Leading Responsible AI and Human-Centered Healthcare Innovation

    Dr. Archana Dubey: Leading Responsible AI and Human-Centered Healthcare Innovation
    2026/07/16

    Discover how one physician-turned-entrepreneur scaled her impact from individual patients to millions of lives—without losing the human heart of medicine.


    In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Archana Dubey discuss:

    • Connection and empathy as a leadership superpower
    • Journey from physician to global healthcare and AI innovator
    • Building and funding responsible AI startups in healthcare
    • Imagination, creativity, and freeing time for deep thinking
    • Future skills, communication, and leadership in global health teams

    Key Takeaways:

    • Deep, authentic connection grounded in empathy is a powerful asset in leadership, medicine, and innovation, enabling stronger teams and more human-centered solutions.
    • Scaling impact in healthcare often requires moving beyond one-on-one clinical care into roles that shape systems, benefits, technologies, and entire populations.
    • The success of early-stage ventures hinges less on the idea and more on the team’s humility, customer obsession, and willingness to pivot based on real-world feedback.
    • AI is a double-edged sword; used thoughtfully, it can free humans from repetitive work, create time for imagination and creativity, and ultimately make us more fully human.
    • Future healthcare leaders must combine a hunger for growth, continuous learning, soft skills like empathy and communication, and the discipline to use technology as a tool—not a substitute—for human presence.

  • Dr. Benjamin Rifkin: Leading with Listening in a Changing Higher Ed Landscape

    Dr. Benjamin Rifkin: Leading with Listening in a Changing Higher Ed Landscape
    2026/07/09
    In a time when colleges are closing and careers are constantly evolving, this conversation dives into what leadership in higher education must become: deeply human, radically student-centered, and courageously adaptive. Discover how aligning passion, purpose, and curriculum can transform both institutions and individual lives.In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Benjamin Rifkin discuss:Leadership as listening and human connectionNonlinear career paths and finding your true vocationHelping students choose majors and careers they loveRedesigning higher education for future relevanceBuilding trust, dignity, and respect across all rolesKey Takeaways:Leadership begins with deep listening and helping people align their strengths and passions with organizational goals, so they see themselves as meaningful contributors.Career paths are rarely linear; experimenting, changing direction, and abandoning ill-fitting plans can lead to more authentic and fulfilling work.Outside a few regulated professions, the choice of major matters less than developing transferable skills, experiences, and the ability to learn and act professionally.Higher education must pivot from legacy structures built for a growing student population to curricula that explicitly prepare students for meaningful, adaptable careers.Treating every person, from faculty to custodians, with dignity, trust, and recognition not only builds loyalty and performance, but it also models the very leadership we claim to teach."Lead from where you are and recognize that everyone, everyone around you, is a human being worthy of respect, dignity, who makes a contribution to your organization." - Dr. Benjamin RifkinAbout Dr. Benjamin Rifkin:Benjamin Rifkin earned his bachelor’s and first master’s degrees in Russian and East European Studies from Yale University before working in Moscow as a translator and interpreter. He later earned a second master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Slavic Languages and Literature from the University of Michigan and received an honorary doctorate from Middlebury College for his contributions to language education and intercultural understanding.A professor of Russian, Rifkin has held faculty and leadership positions at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Temple University, The College of New Jersey, Ithaca College, Hofstra University, and now serves as University Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Fairleigh Dickinson University. His research focuses on language proficiency, compassion in education, and student success. He has authored textbooks, published numerous scholarly works, and is a recognized leader in world language education, earning multiple awards for his teaching, research, service, and leadership, including the 2020 Wilga Rivers Award from ACTFL.Connect with Dr. Benjamin Rifkin:Website: https://www.fdu.edu/profiles/benjamin-rifkin/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-rifkin-phd/ Connect with Kevin Neal:Website: https://drkdneal.com Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C47RZDSS https://www.amazon.com/Guided-Greatness-Mentorship-Developing-professionals-ebook/dp/B0FGBH1VNSEmail: coachkd63@gmail.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachkd63
