Podcasts about achieving excellence

In this episode of The First Day podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Dr. Patrick Rooney, Emeritus Professor at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, to discuss the ongoing debate over the Universal Charitable Deduction (UCD). With decades of expertise in philanthropy and economics, Dr. Rooney explains how tax incentives impact charitable giving, particularly in light of past tax reforms that significantly reduced the number of itemizing households. While many donors give based on personal values, research shows that financial incentives, like tax deductions, can encourage even greater generosity. Dr. Rooney and Bill dive into the latest UCD proposal currently moving through Congress, which suggests a deduction of up to $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for couples—substantially higher than previous temporary versions, which were limited to just a few hundred dollars. Rooney highlights research indicating that well-structured tax incentives can increase both the number of donors and the total amount given. While the proposal is still in flux, and there's no guarantee it will become law, he emphasizes that higher deduction limits could provide a strong incentive for charitable giving. The discussion also touches on donor psychology and the role of tax policy in philanthropic behavior. While tax breaks often rank low in surveys about giving motivations, donors tend to notice when those benefits disappear. Rooney suggests that many donors are motivated by a mix of altruism and financial awareness—wanting to do good while also considering the impact on their taxable income. He shares research showing that even a 25% tax credit could significantly boost giving, reinforcing the importance of tax policy in shaping philanthropic trends. For fundraisers, the key takeaway is to stay informed and prepared to discuss these potential changes with donors. While the legislative process is uncertain, fundraisers should be ready to explain how tax incentives can help donors maximize their giving impact. Bill closes the episode by emphasizing the broader importance of economic and policy literacy in nonprofit fundraising. He also highlights The Fundraising School's resources, including public courses, webinars, and the Achieving Excellence in Fundraising textbook, to help fundraisers stay ahead of policy changes and effectively engage donors.

In this episode of the First Day Podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Betsy Erickson, Head of Family and Individual Services at Arabella Advisors, to dissect the top obstacles donors face when it comes to charitable giving. Backed by a collaborative study from the Gates Foundation, Arabella Advisors, and others, the conversation dives into the psychological and logistical hurdles that deter even the most well-intentioned philanthropists. These include the paradox of too many choices, lack of urgency, and fear of public scrutiny—factors that reveal the complexity of modern giving. As Betsy puts it, "Donors are more connected to societal problems than ever, yet often feel paralyzed by the enormity of these issues." The study identified ten key barriers to charitable giving, ranging from practical challenges—like an overwhelming number of nonprofit options and tedious administrative tasks—to deeper psychological concerns, such as perfectionism, fear of failure, and societal polarization. Notably, a lack of trust in nonprofit organizations also emerged as a significant hurdle, with donors often fixating on horror stories of misuse rather than success stories. Betsy highlights the behavioral science behind these challenges, explaining how biases like the "availability heuristic" influence donor behavior, making it harder for them to navigate the philanthropic landscape with confidence. For fundraisers, the episode serves up a buffet of actionable insights. Betsy emphasizes the importance of building long-term, authentic relationships with donors, scaffolding their journey through education, and simplifying their decision-making process. Practical strategies include providing clear, concise communications, engaging peer donors to build trust, and pacing interactions to reduce the overwhelm many donors feel. By addressing donors' barriers empathetically, fundraisers can transform daunting decisions into meaningful opportunities for impact. Closing the episode, Bill underscores the moral imperative of treating donors as human beings rather than transactional sources of funding. Betsy echoes this sentiment, urging fundraisers to foster motivation and provide context for donors, particularly in unfamiliar issue areas. The conversation is a rallying call for fundraisers to act as trusted advisors, equipping donors to navigate their philanthropic goals with purpose and confidence. For more resources, listeners are directed to the study, housed on the National Center for Family Philanthropy's website, and to Achieving Excellence in Fundraising, now in its fifth edition.

In this episode of the First Day Podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. is joined by Dr. Dwight Burlingame, Professor Emeritus of Philanthropic Studies and Glenn Family Chair in Philanthropy at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. Dr. Burlingame, recognized as a pioneer in this field, co-authored Chapter 39 of "Achieving Excellence in Fundraising," which covers the nuances and strategies of business sector fundraising. This episode provided a comprehensive overview, illuminating the historical context, theoretical frameworks, and practical applications of corporate giving to nonprofit organizations. Historically, corporate giving has evolved significantly, influenced by various models that Dr. Burlingame and his peers have identified through extensive research since 1996. Four primary models were highlighted: corporate responsibility, ethical and altruistic, political, and stakeholder. The corporate responsibility model underscores a company's societal obligations, linking its community contributions to its core mission of profitability. The ethical and altruistic model debates the true nature of altruism in corporate giving, focusing on community well-being. The political model explores corporate giving as a means to gain political advantage, either internally within the company or externally. Lastly, the stakeholder model, which has gained popularity over the last three decades, emphasizes the importance of considering all stakeholders of a company, including customers, vendors, and employees, and how these relationships intertwine with the company's overall business strategy. The discussion also ventured into the practical realm, addressing how nonprofits can effectively approach and engage with the business sector for fundraising. Emphasizing the alignment of nonprofit missions with corporate philanthropic values, the podcast underlined the importance of developing a strategic fundraising plan that caters specifically to the business sector. This involves understanding the historical and current philanthropic activities of companies and identifying common points of contact, such as shared vendors or board members. The episode concluded with the notion that understanding and aligning with the various philanthropic motivations of businesses can greatly enhance the effectiveness of fundraising efforts in the nonprofit sector.

If you don't know where you're going, you're probably not going to get there. - Lee Cockerell Vision comes from a leader that sees the desired future for an organization. It's crucial for leaders to transfer this vision to employees, so they can visualize it and get excited about it. One of the challenges leaders face is translating their enthusiasm and clear image of the future to their team members. During our conversation, Jody and I talk about the importance of effectively communicating vision and mission to our teams. Many employees often don't understand or connect with their organization's vision and mission statements. There is a need for leaders to clarify and explain these concepts in relatable ways. That clarity helps employees more clearly visualize the vision and get excited about it. One great example is the military. Everyone has different roles but shares the same purpose. This purpose keeps them motivated during challenging times and helps them push through. This is an example of why I emphasize the importance of communicating the vision with every employee, including new hires, vendors, and even customers. It's about creating a sense of shared purpose and understanding. Vision and mission should not be solely focused on financial goals. Instead, they should provide something meaningful and valuable to both the team and the company. It's about creating a sense of purpose and a shared understanding of what the organization is working towards. Make sure you reach out to Magical Vacation Planners. Let them plan your next vacation.

Skill Set Mastery: Unveiling Your Talents and Achieving Excellence     Welcome to "Weekly Motivation Power Talk with Mr. Smiles," hosted by the inspirational speaker Vinney Chopra and Alicia Dibrell. In this podcast we embark on a journey of self-discovery to help you uncover your natural skill set. If you've ever found yourself wondering what your true talents are and how to harness them, you've come to the right place. In each episode, we explore different approaches to discovering your skills and unlocking your full potential.     If you're looking to discover your natural skill set, there are a few approaches you can take: Self-reflection: Take some time to reflect on your own strengths and weaknesses. Consider the tasks or activities that come naturally to you, and those that you enjoy doing. What are the things you find yourself excelling in or receiving compliments for? Make a list of these observations to help identify your skills. Seek feedback from others: Reach out to close family members, friends, or colleagues whom you trust and ask them for their perspective on your strengths. They may provide valuable insights and highlight skills that you may not have considered. Try new things: Sometimes, you may discover your skills by trying out different activities or pursuing new interests. Be open to exploring various hobbies, volunteer work, or professional opportunities. Through these experiences, you may uncover hidden talents or develop new skills. Take assessments or personality tests: There are numerous online assessments and personality tests available that can help you identify your strengths and preferences. These tests often provide insights into your personality traits, learning style, and areas where you may excel.     Remember that skills can be developed and refined over time, so don't limit yourself to existing abilities. Be open to learning and growth, as you may discover new skills and talents along the way.     Don't forget to head over to iTunes to subscribe, rate, and leave a review.

Developing Female Talent into Leaders with Elizabeth Batalla #86In the episode, Nick Day is joined on The HR L&D Podcast by Elizabeth Batalla, who has been in corporate for over 30 years, has lectured at various academic institutions and is the founder of The Institute for Achievement and Excellence.Elizabeth helps women level up in nine life areas to achieve their professional and personal transformation goals to secure leadership roles and business opportunities.She also helps companies better educate and promote their female talent. Elizabeth accomplishes this through self-paced masterclasses, tailored programs, and coaching. Her experience also drove her fantastic book, “Level Up to Move Up: The Three Forces in Achieving Excellence”.At the moment, Liz is reaching out Diversity, Equity and Inclusion people in all sectors, especially male-dominated sectors like STEM industries, to explore how her experience can support their female talent programmes to improve performance, engagement, contribution and progression into leadership roles. Although Elizabeth's focus is on women, her message is for everyone. That's because Liz believes in being the change she wishes to see in the world and lives this by example.In the Fortune 500, only 53 CEOs are female. Meanwhile, nearly half of all FTSE 250 companies lack a woman in the boardroom, and only nine female CEOs are still in the FTSE 100. We believe businesses can and should be doing more to promote and develop female leaders in the workplace.Today Elizabeth shares what she has learned and implemented from her own journey.In this “Developing Female Talent into Leaders” episode with Elizabeth Batalla on The HR L&D Podcast, we also explore:What do the words Human Resources mean to you?Why is female leadership important?How can we create a positive impact on our women leaders of tomorrow?What can individual women do to be better prepared for leadership roles?What can companies do to support their female talent better?What are you doing to contribute to creating female leaders of tomorrow?What are your “nine life areas for success”?Judy Garland once said, “Be a first-rate version of yourself, not a second-rate version of someone else.” – tell me why this quote resonates with you?Tell us more about the inspiration behind your book "Level Up to Move Up: The Three Forces in Achieving Excellence"?Links highlighted in this “Developing Female Talent into Leaders” episode are included below:The Book: Level Up to Move Up: The Three Forces in Achieving Excellence”.Website: https://achievementandexcellence.comTake this free assessment to

After graduating from West Point (where I'm pretty sure Doug was the #1 ranked cadet in our class in physical fitness, which is incredible, but I couldn't get a straight answer from Doug on that fact), Doug commissioned as an infantry officer, graduated from Ranger School, and then went on to leave at several different levels at home and in combat.  Doug was awarded multiple Bronze Star medals, including one for Valor that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld presented in 2011. In addition to being the Managing Principal for Cushman and Wakefield in Dallas, Doug also leads their Military and Veteran Programs. As you will see, it's no surprise that Doug has been trusted with significant leadership responsibilities at such a young age.  His mindset is something we can all learn from.  We dive into how we has dealt with moments of failure and setbacks, key habits he focuses on for self-leadership, his top leadership principles, and much more.  As a book recommendation, Doug also mentioned Patrick Lencioni's book The Motive.    

Whether we like to admit it or not sometimes the number one thing holding us back from the success, business, and life that we dream of, is ourselves. And we don't even realize we're doing it sometimes, but self sabotage, comparison, and overthinking can really hinder our journey forward. That's why I wanted to bring Lindsey Mango on! To really unpack what helped her reach her potential and how she helps her clients do the same.   Lindsey is a mindset guru and coach who helps women change the way they think, act, show up, and take action so they can become the woman that they're meant to be. She's passionate about this work because six years ago, she found herself with a life that looked picture perfect on paper, but felt like something was missing. She knew she was capable of having so much more in every aspect of her life but even after taking tons of action, she found herself stuck in the same spot.   It wasn't until she met a life coach that she understood that her mind was her biggest roadblock. Within six months, she completely changed her life. She left a relationship. She started a coaching business. She replaced her corporate salary and created the life she used to daydream about. Today, she's built a coaching business that's generated over $2 million in revenue, serves hundreds of clients to create lives and businesses they're obsessed with. The way that she carries herself and the thoughtfulness and intention of this conversation is something that you're going to love to dive into.   What you'll hear in this episode: [2:40] Lindsey's story and how she became a life coach. [9:50] Overcoming the struggle's she faced. [13:40] Learning how to honor your identity. [17:15] How to battle the comparison trap. [22:15] Take inspiration, but not too much influence, from the people you follow and look up to. [26:15] Advice for those who are just getting started in personal development or any industry.

As a business owner, we're always chasing growth, we're always chasing that next thing, it feels like no matter what we do, we're always hungry for that next level. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes we can feel like we're starting to plateau when it comes to our income; like we can't break free from a certain level and we're not sure how to unlock that next step.   It can make you feel uncomfortable, stressed out, and worried about the future of your business. A lot of it is self-imposed but it's not your fault! We can be so focused on moving our business forward, that we're not looking around to our surroundings to realize what else is happening. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective to really see what's going on in your business.   If you can't quite figure out how to unlock that next level of revenue, I'm going to walk you through a few simple questions that can help give you a fresh perspective so you can unlock that for yourself.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:15] The questions you can ask yourself if you're experiencing limitations. [3:00] Are you limiting your own capacity by limiting your time? [5:20] Hiring someone to cover your blind spots. [7:30] Don't discount yourself when it comes to a high-touch high-value service where your time is insanely valuable. [9:45] Is your offer profitable? Considering all of the costs included in your offer [12:30] Spending with intention and awareness. [14:30] What can happen when you don't have set offers in place. [16:30] Don't confuse your customer base.

We're all absorbing so much information and advice every single day, from social media, our friends and family, our business colleagues, mentors, and so much more. We're being told constantly what we should be doing. Sometimes as business owners, that's really helpful, because it's in the name of service and the name of helping us. But sometimes it can be really overwhelming and really exhausting. It can cause us to lose or sense of direction and intuition.   When it comes to scaling a business, there is nothing more important than following your intuition and understanding your core values, your brand, and your mission. That's what I've brought Hannah Wells on the show to share with us!   Hannah is partner and COO of Powerhouse Women. She is a personal development junkie who's deeply passionate about showing women what's possible for their lives. She brings her obsession with mindset and her love for business strategy and operations to powerhouse women and the community of women that she serves.   We're talking about how you can scale your business while drowning out the noise to get really clear on what your intuition is telling you! If you're an early stage entrepreneur, you're feeling a little burnt out, or just feeling like you need to relate to someone who's going through what you're going through, this episode is for you!   What you'll hear in this episode: [2:50] Hannah's background in real estate. [7:15] The intention this year for Powerhouse. [12:30] What is scaling? How does it work? [18:00] How to get into the right mindset to scale your business. [22:30] Lowering the cost of acquisition with organic marketing. [25:45] How do you know what to delegate and what to keep? [30:30] Why you have to do things your way and tune out the noise.

What's the next level of freedom that you're hoping to unlock? Our individual definitions of freedom are subjective and constantly evolving. I'm thrilled for this conversation because we have the privilege of hearing from Mike Ayala about his journey, how he dared to challenge conventions, and unapologetically forged his path towards financial freedom.   Mike's life experiences have led him to discover what he truly values: the freedom to prioritize his family, nurturing relationships, and the financial means to support that lifestyle. While many entrepreneurs might believe that this kind of freedom is unattainable, Mike and his wife Cara are living proof that with the right mindset and support, anyone can experience true freedom on their own terms.   As a self-described serial entrepreneur, Mike has been involved in over 2000 projects worth over a billion dollars. Nowadays, he helps busy professionals and business owners to attain authentic freedom and live their best lives. Mike is a real estate investor, founder, venture capitalist, and, above all, a devoted father and husband. There's so much to be gained from his wealth of experience!   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:00] Mike's background in life and in business [5:00] Why he started a business at age 24 [7:00] What led Mike to exit his business and move into his next season of business and investing [11:15] The importance of mentors in life and business [13:30] How he got into real estate investing [16:45] How you can cultivate mentorship relationships in your life [19:00] Mike's best advice for investing for freedom [23:00] What's next for Mike and Cara as they plan to exit their real estate investing era [28:30] How you can work with them [29:45] How you can unlock your next level of freedom   * To get more information about Mike & Cara's offerings for couples, text the word COUPLE to (480) 531-7519 * Follow Mike on IG @themikeayala * Learn more about Velocity Venture Partners on their website: www.velocityventurepartners.com/ * Listen to Mike's podcast, Investing For Freedom: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/investing-for-freedom-with-mike-ayala/id1498786451   * Related episodes: 218.

We must always challenge ourselves to move forward, even when faced with adversity. As leaders, we should use the struggles of life as an opportunity to grow and develop our skills. Hard times can be especially difficult, but by picking ourselves up and learning from our mistakes, we will become stronger and more resilient for future challenges. It is important to remember that although it may seem impossible at times, we are capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes our way - because we are fireproof. Life is a journey, and each experience we have is vital to our overall story. Everything that happens to us shapes whom we become and what we want out of life. Knowing our goals and purpose can be a source of great motivation even when challenges come up. If we don't know the why in life, it can be harder to keep on going.

This year, flameworking pioneer Paul Stankard will celebrate his 80th birthday. To commemorate more than six decades at the torch, the artist joined Talking Out Your Glass podcast for a return visit featuring a discussion about his contributions to glass and art, including his new book, Inspiration from the Art of Paul J. Stankard: A Window into My Studio and Soul. Jack Wax, artist and head of the glass department at The Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, wrote the following about Stankard's latest and fourth book: “Paul Joseph Stankard is the living master of the art of the botanical paperweight. There ought not to be any argument as to where he stands in the history of this endeavor, an undertaking that dates back to the mid-19th century and the famed Venetian glassmaker Pietro Bigaglia. He has, as a noted autodidact, aimed at elevating the production of these objects to stratospheric heights. His patient and long-term focus on capturing the subtle beauty of blossoms before they fade, and of bouquets that never wilt, has brought to the world marvels of observation, obsession, fixation, and, importantly, of invention. There is a tendency for people to gaze in wonder and become infatuated when encountering “impossible objects” for the first time. This has been his purview.  That said, becoming a master in the world of 21st-century decorative art production might not ensure that your corollary endeavors—writing poetry and laying out the inexorably tied-up nature of beauty's role in the success of an artwork—needs to be shared with posterity. Stankard's voice is sincere and heartfelt. His choice of words is deeply weighed, his phrasing and pacing seriously considered. He is, after all, attempting to distill, out of the quickly dispersing mists of creativity, an essence, a tincture that will contain some drops of truth. That can, at times, become a dangerous area to interpret and translate for a broad swath of the population. Being great at one thing in no way guarantees that one is good at another…  If you pick this book up, you will assuredly spend time considering the beauty of Paul Stankard's botanical images in glass. He is a genuinely passionate, sincerely earnest maker who cares deeply for the natural world and has devoted a lifetime to the true intricacies of what is visible—and what is not—for those who persevere and cultivate what may be revealed in the application of an extraordinarily sustained and amplified focus.” Considered a living master in the art of the paperweight, Stankard's work is represented in more than 75 museums around the world. Over his 40-year artistic journey, he has received two honorary doctorate degrees, an honorary associate's degree, and many awards within the glass community, most recently the Masters of the Medium Award from Smithsonian's The James Renwick Alliance and the Glass Art Society's Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a Fellow of the American Craft Council and a recipient of the UrbanGlass Award—Innovation in a Glassworking Technique. In 1961, Stankard enrolled in Salem County Vocational Technical Institute's Scientific Glassblowing program (now Salem Community College). During his subsequent 10-year scientific glassblowing career, fabricating complex instruments was his focus. As head of the glass department at Rohn & Haas in Philadelphia, the artist began experimenting with floral paperweights as a hobby. The work was eventually noticed by art dealer Reese Palley at a craft expo in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and in 1972, Stankard abandoned industry for art. Stankard's role as educator includes establishing the flameworking studio at Penland School of Craft, Spruce Pine, North Carolina, and serving as a founding board member and President of The Creative Glass Center of America, Millville, New Jersey. The artist taught students in the US at Penland; the Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York; Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington; and abroad at Kanaz Forest of Creation Japan with Hiroshi Yamano as well as at North Lands Creative, in the Scottish Highlands. He remains an Artist-in-Residence and Honorary Professor at Salem Community College, where he founded the International Flameworking Conference. Now dividing his time between flameworking and writing, Stankard is the author of Inspiration from the Art of Paul J. Stankard: A Window into My Studio and Soul; an autobiography No Green Berries or Leaves: The Creative Journey of an Artist in Glass; an educational resource Spark the Creative Flame: Making the Journey from Craft to Art; and Studio Craft as Career: A Guide to Achieving Excellence in Art-making.  In March 2023, Stankard will once again attend the International Flameworking Conference (IFC). He will also be instructing a workshop with Lucio Bubacco in May. IFC details are at www.salemcc.edu/ifc and workshop info is at https://salemcc.edu/glass/intensive-glass-workshop In celebration of his 80th birthday, WheatonArts will host a Celebration of the Life & Work of Paul J. Stankard, Saturday, May 20, 2023. Click link below for the latest information. Campus-wide activities will be highlighted by collaborative Glass Studio demonstrations with Stankard and friends, curator tours of the Museum of American Glass featuring Amber Cowan's solo exhibit Alchemy of Adornment, and special fare catered by Feast Your Eyes Catering. Proceeds benefit the WheatonArts Glass Studio programs. Dan Collins – documentary filmmaker with strong roots in the glass art community, producing work that focuses on both the American Studio Glass Movement and the often-misunderstood borosilicate pipe movement – filmed Stankard for a documentary that will be shown in May at the WheatonArts event. The film includes the artist creating a piece from his Celestial Bouquet series. Stankard's work will be exhibited at the Morris Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate, in Morristown, New Jersey, in early 2023.
