Pastor Marc Henshaw talks about how we are Sons and Daughters of the King.

In today's episode, I got to sit down with Dr. Jodi Mullen and talk about CCPT supervision. Dr. Mullen is an RPT-S and CCPT-Master and brings decades of experience to this conversation. I know you hear this from me often, but I wanted you to hear the message from someone else, who is an actual RPT-S, of why and how important it is to have a supervisor who is also wholly child-centered play therapy orientated.    During our conversation, Dr. Mullen and I hit on some topical gems of wisdom about CCPT supervision. I hope you enjoy this special episode as much as I enjoyed making it.  It was a pleasure to "talk shop" with Dr. Mullen and share stories and inspiration with her.

In this podcast, EW&L Partner Ryan Loehr speaks with Matthew O'Mara from Apollo Global. Matt is a Partner of Apollo's Insurance Solutions Group and has responsibility for leading its democratised private market capability globally. For those unfamiliar with Apollo, it is regarded as one of the most reputable private equity and private credit managers in the world. A key differentiator for Apollo is its alignment with investors, with approximately half of its $600B in AUM invested from its own balance sheet, alongside investors. Private Markets are an area that has traditionally been restricted to the largest professional and institutional investors, but managers (including Apollo) are increasingly innovating via new structures to provide private investors with new access points. ‘Alternatives' or private market opportunities are increasingly playing a more important role in investor portfolios and for anyone looking to understand more about this asset class, this episode provides valuable insights.Disclaimer: The information in this podcast series is for general financial educational purposes only, should not be considered financial advice and is only intended for wholesale clients.

Team alignment matters. Why? The only way to create the meaningful change you were built for is to journey together with collective beliefs, actions, and behaviours towards your team's purpose. But what does an aligned team actually look like? In Saralyn's experience, an aligned team: actively defines and consciously works in a brave space that prioritizes psychological safety in order to hold difficult yet required conversations, deeply understands their shared priorities to ensure everyone and everything is pointed in the same direction, and operationalizes the behaviours of trust in a way that works for everyone on the team.For exclusive prompts, tools, and resources to help you along your leadership journey, subscribe to our newsletter at https://www.holonleadership.org/contact/newsletter/. Follow Saralyn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holon_leadership/?hl=en.Connect with Saralyn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saralynhodgkin/.Need help navigating your leadership journey?

Get outside, it does amazing things for your health.It is absolutely beautiful this time of year in Southwest Florida so take advantage of it.  It also can help you live a healthier life when you take that workout outdoors.1.  Vitamin D-the fat soluble vitamin that is essential to strong bones and healthy immune systems can safely be attained by the morning sun.2.   Gives your eyes a rest-our eyes look at so much close up which requires the muscles in your eye to work more.  By looking at things outside and far in the distance it allows the muscles in your eyes to relax which is important for overall eye health. (Katy Bowman-Movement Matters, Alignment Matters)3. Less anxiety and stress-green spaces have shown to decrease stress and increase mood of those who spend time outdoors and provide for mental well-being.4. Boosts white blood cells: interacting with phytoncides (airborne chemicals emitted from plants that protect them from rotting and insects) help to boost white blood cells and reduce stress in our bodies (Katy Bowman: Movement Matters, pg 79)Join us over in our FB community Form Fit Mom

In this As One podcast series, we talk about why organizational alignment matters. If the organization or team that you lead is out of alignment around certain critical issues, your experience is going to be a rough ride. In this episode, we look at the value of creating agreement and alignment around four key concepts. Know Your Why In order to engage your team at an optimal level, the team needs to agree around why you are doing what you are doing. Your ‘why' creates a compelling vision that attracts the engagement of your employees. What are your values? For a team to function with minimum drama it is necessary to align around expected behaviors. When everyone agrees to abide by clear stated values there opportunity for dysfunction and drama is significantly reduced. What are we doing? This should be the easiest question to answer, but you might be surprised. In the absence of clarity team members often take on tasks and responsibilities that do not contribute to the vision or mission of the team in a profitable way. Reducing Siloes An organization needs to be clear on, and aligned around, the greatest challenge facing the team at this moment. Without agreement on this you run the risk of every team member focusing effort on the issue most critical to their area of responsibility. You need the cohesion that occurs when you face challenges as one. Creativity and Innovation Suffer Creativity and innovation are two of the first liabilities when a team is not functioning in union with one another. Alignment provides boundaries and clarity that free team members to know what they need to pursue and how much permission and flexibility they have in their process. ---  If your organization is suffering from a lack of alignment, connect with me for a free, complimentary conversation about our organizational-health process. It won't cost you more than 30 minutes of your time to find out if some feedback would be valuable for you and your team.   Connect with me on social media! Direct message me on Instagram or Twitter. I'd love to know how these podcasts are encouraging your team's results. Until next time, lead well! Bill

In this episode, I interview Katy Bowman, Biomechanist, Author, Blogger, Podcaster and Founder of the Restorative Exercise Institute in Ventura, CA. Katy and I talk about the effects of "living in a human zoo", how to stop using exercise like vitamins, why sleeping surfaces matter, and how to determine an appropriate "movement diet" for your body. We also delve into the intricacies of cellular loading and how the loading of each cellular cytoskeleton impacts cellular health and epigenetic expression of your DNA.

Health and athletic performance have been a passion of mine since early adulthood. For the first 17 years or so, all my ideas were all dead wrong. Low-fat, high-carb, vegetarianism, polyphasic sleep. All terrible ideas. Then came the Paleo diet and lifestyle and with it success. Now I think I'm less likely to be dead wrong, and more likely to be incomplete. Katy Bowman is a witty writer I've been following for several years. I wrote to Katy her telling her about Nourish Balance Thrive and how her ideas might help me to do a better job as a coach. Katy is unique in her analysis of movement and how it affects genetic expression and cellular life. Quite possibly a missing piece! With radical, science-based health directives, Katy is taking the health-and-wellness world by storm with her bold “exercise is not movement” platform. A biomechanist by training and a problem-solver at heart, she has helped thousands reduce chronic pain, increase bone density, and improve metabolic health through movement and proper alignment. In addition to writing for her award-winning, and science-y blog KatySays.com, she is a regular source for national health publications and is regularly featured on radio, television talk shows and news segments. Creator of the Aligned and Well™ DVD series, Katy’s groundbreaking work in pelvic floor restoration has made her particularly popular with midwives, OBGYNs, and others concerned with pelvic mobility, strength, and health. Her books, Every Woman’s Guide to Foot Pain Relief: The New Science of Healthy Feet (2011) and Alignment Matters (2013), have been critically acclaimed and translated worldwide. Her most anticipated book, Move Your DNA: Restore Your Health Through Natural Movement, was released in the autumn of 2014.

On today's show it's the return of my hero and biomechanist Katy Bowman. Then it's another moderately funny edition of the Humans Being Human story and some stories about birds.

We talk to Katy about mind explosions, flaccid fin syndrome, Mark stop saying flaccid, Blackfish, Michael Jackson & Free Willy, adapting to a tank, how have our fins “folded”?, movement nutrition, and what can you do to move better? Before we talk to Katy, Rick and I talk about an inappropriate and unintentional Facebook faux pas, Rick apologizes for making weird and gross noises last week, and we announce the winner of the November T-shirt Giveaway -- PersonSomeoneFacebookPuppies, the weirdest and most hilarious username of all-time.
