A World of Difference is a leadership podcast for senior executives who know that culture, trust, and human systems are now decisive competitive advantages,and that blind spots at the top carry real risk. Hosted by Lori Adams-Brown, Strategic Transformation Executive and global leadership advisor, this podcast goes beneath surface-level leadership trends to examine what actually drives performance, engagement, and resilience in today’s complex, high-pressure organizations. These conversations reveal the patterns many leaders sense, but rarely have time or space to fully examine. Each episode helps CEOs, CHROs, and global teams: Identify hidden cultural dynamics and leadership blind spots Understand why well-intentioned change efforts stall or fail Navigate burnout, silence, and disengagement without sacrificing performance Build psychological safety, trust, and accountability at scale Develop future-of-work leadership skills that translate across industries and cultures Drawing on decades of experience working across global systems, Lori brings a rare blend of research-based insight, cross-cultural fluency, and executive-level clarity. This is not theory for theory’s sake. It’s practical, human-centered leadership intelligence for those responsible for people, strategy, and outcomes. A World of Difference is especially relevant for leaders operating in: Global and matrixed organizations Periods of transformation, growth, or uncertainty Talent retention and workforce trust challenges Post-burnout and post-crisis environments These are the conversations many leadership teams wish they were having about power, voice, boundaries, and the real human cost of “business as usual.” Listening isn’t just informative; it sharpens decision-making and challenges assumptions that no longer serve today’s workforce. If you are responsible for leading people through complexity, and want to avoid costly cultural blind spots, this podcast is for you.
