You've seen them. The person who always has the flashiest update in the meeting, but what does all that jargon mean if nothing ever actually moves?

Turns out, social media didn't just change how we share our lives but also how we work. And not always for the better.

In this episode, Kenis Folk is joined by Chanelle Logan, Senior Manager in BSC's transformation leadership practice, to unpack one of the most uncomfortable truth that most of us already know but won't say out loud, a lot of what passes for "great work" in organizations is just really well-packaged activity.

They talk about why the quietest person in the room is often the one actually moving things forward, what it really took for Chanelle to build credibility with clients (hint: it wasn't her resume), when she was new to consultancy, and why being obsessed with how your work looks might be what’s holding you back.

Whether you're new and trying to prove yourself, mid-career and feeling the pressure to stay visible, or just exhausted from performing, pull up a chair.

A highlight reel is great, but only when it’s paired with the unglamorous stuff you do on a Tuesday when nobody's keeping score.

Remember, behind every transformation, there’s a story worth telling.

What do the Real Housewives and a corporate ERP rollout have in common? More than you think.

In this episode, Kenis Folk sits down with Melissa Parinello, Director in BSC's Change & Adoption practice, to break down what 20+ seasons of reality TV drama actually reveal about human behavior at work. We're talking table-flipping resistance, Sonja Morgan's townhouse as a masterclass in fear of change, and why "let them" might be the most powerful two words in change management.

If you've ever watched a stakeholder spiral in a design session and thought "this feels like a Bravo reunion", this one's for you.

What you'll take away:

• Why resistance is rarely about the change itself (and what it's really about)
• How to read behavior the way a seasoned consultant does
• The "Let Them" theory and how it plays out on real projects
• Why trust is the foundation and what happens when it cracks

Guilty pleasures, big lessons, zero table-flipping. Let's go!

Remember, behind every transformation, there’s a story worth telling.

Gen Z is actively avoiding middle management roles, because they view it as a high stress, and low reward position. For many, traditional hierarchical power just doesn’t feel worth the tradeoff.

In this episode of Frontline Insights, host Kenis Folk sits down with Jason Vicks, a change leader in Blue Skies’ Change Management and Adoption team, to unpack what this trend really signals and why it’s less about generational rebellion and more about why control-based leadership isn’t working anymore.

Drawing on Jason’s experience of mentoring leaders through complex organizational change, the conversation explores how Gen Z’s language, in essence, mirrors long-standing leadership principles but are just expressed differently. When your new joiner says autonomy, what they mean is empowerment. When they use the term psychological safety, what they actually mean is empathy. What senior leaders sometimes hear as resistance, Jason reframes as a demand for better systems, clearer ownership, and leadership that earns trust rather than assumes it.

If you’re navigating generational shifts, struggling to attract future leaders, or questioning why traditional management roles feel increasingly brittle, this conversation offers a sharper way to look at what leadership must become next.

Listen now to explore why Gen Z is forcing a leadership reckoning, and what conscious unbossing really demands.
