Phylis Tickle “Emergence Christianity” The main thesis of the book is very centered on the shifts in Christianity, but her words ring true of what society as a whole is experiencing: society is being “ characterized by a shift from institutionalized life to a more fluid, decentralized, and experiential form of life.” It’s driven by several factors: the “ decline of institutional authority, the rise of individualism, and the growing diversity of our society”.
It doesn’t have to be a fearful transition…it can be an exciting and invigorating time.

Dr. C and Tony straight crushed it! Both as speakers and comment crusaders in this budding podcast. Grateful to you both for blessing the Skillmatic stage with your brilliance!
That was fun, you ladies are so amazing. That in itself should give us hope…love the wisdom and passion you bring to what you do.
Christyna, you are doing such important work…I love that there are educators like you influencing those who will eventually be the ones leading these organizations.
I really appreciate this tip, i.e., ask for what you need — even upon an exit!
Yes, it’s hard in those moments to believe there’s latitude for requests. But there is.
I wonder if some of it is that if I show you that I’m upset that I have to let you go, opens a door to some ‘legal retaliation’. If I give any hint that I’m not sure this is right…than they may come back with some legal action.
Agree. Fear is such a blocker in these interactions. There’s no lion or apex predator attending these calls. But everyone seems to be operating in maximum fear mode and it shortchanges us. We, esp people teams, can totally evolve beyond this primitive fear to unlock a different tone in these conversations.
The vulnerability in this conversation is so inspiring and refreshing.
Disruption to connections! Dang…so true.
That was such a helpful insight to gain, T. Layoffs are extremely detrimental to human connection, relationships, and ties. And we need to be more cognizant of that! And as you said, Tony, we need to be kinder!
Love to hear from others…I kinda know what these folks think. 😏
Agree, comments section is quiet today. Such good the dialog in this episode and so much to unpack <3
Speaking of Gen AI and how we might leverage it for enhancing humanity. Check out this thread I put together using Perplexity AI: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/What-are-some-lpSt3xlNR2OVPvDFmt9vqw
Yes to this! Thanks, Tony!
OMG yes. Where’s THAT startup? The one that optimizes layoffs as a wellness perk, and disrupts this trend of layoffs as a destabilizing, demoralizing separation
Such an important statement here! How might we treat layoffs as an opportunity for growth on all sides!
As long as we are a Capitalistic society, we will never get away from layoffs. Warren Buffet speaks of the 2 sides of capitalism. “The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services.”
Wow. That’s a sobering quote. Feels unsustainable. Which also explains these disruptive boom/bust cycles to correct the damage
The place of agency we have…it’s in HOW we approach layoffs.
Apologies that the audio was so echo-ey on my end!
This was my first three way recording using OBS software to record, so no worries. You and Tony served as both speakers and test subjects lol
I’m using the captions and that helps too
Yes, deep learning happens in that metacognition! Love this!
I love that comment…highlighting it as ‘social learning’. Learning is always happening.
That Cloudflare clip with Britney gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
This will be a fun conversation…looking forward to the questions!
