Podcasts about always growing

Do you wear "busy" as a badge of honor while still feeling behind? You're not alone. In this powerful conversation with productivity expert Jones Loflin, author of Focused as a Bee, we explore how busyness may be the very thing blocking your goals. Drawing from the focused nature of honeybees, Jones shows that true productivity comes not from doing more, but from doing what truly matters.Through his TAD framework (Transfer, Automate, Drop), Jones shares practical ways to reclaim your time. He explains how identifying the "micro purpose" behind tasks, breaking projects into small “one jobs,” and even embracing rest—like bees taking 40 naps a day—can boost your effectiveness and reduce burnout.Jones also uncovers the three main distractions hurting your focus: internal thoughts, external noise, and unclear expectations. His simple strategies help you minimize interference and maximize impact. The key takeaway: performance improves when we remove what's getting in the way. So—what will you eliminate today?

Join me as I walk with Shaheer Mustafa, President and CEO of Hopewell.   His vulnerability and authenticity are what make him such an exceptional leader. He leads with a genuine desire to keep learning and growing.

Focused As A Bee: Six Buzzworthy Strategies To Thrive In A Distracting World by Jones Loflin, Sydney Loflin Jonesloflin.com/podcast Amazon.com What could you accomplish if you improved your ability to focus? Imagine what your life would be like if: You had the satisfaction of completing your goals You had perfect clarity on your priorities and your daily decisions were aligned with them You had a system to manage the countless distractions coming at you each day Focused as a Bee tells the story of Sydney, an ambitious young woman who is feeling overwhelmed with work and life. Constant distractions, a lack of clear priorities, and the failure to make progress on her goals are wreaking havoc on her self-confidence and work satisfaction. The future she envisions seems out of reach. She carries guilt for not improving her career success, but figuring out what needs to change remains a challenge she hasn't yet overcome. And now she has a new distraction… A swarm of honeybees in her backyard! Reaching out to her beekeeping best friend Alicia, Sydney hopes she will get rid of them ASAP. Instead, Alicia invites Sydney to explore how the work of the bees might offer insights on improving her current work life dilemma. As Sydney becomes comfortable with the bees, she realizes that the secret to their incredible productivity and success lies in their ability to focus. With Alicia's guidance, Sydney learns six permissions that enable her to: Complete her “one jobs” and stay focused on outcomes Reduce the temptation to shift her attention to less important activities Make changes to stay present in any moment Be patient with herself as she applies these new skills Focused as a Bee is a fun and essential guide for those tired of the status quo.

Join Melissa for Lesson 4 as we discuss the need for continual growth so that we can continue to have success as we step out boldly into each new season & opportunity from God.

Are you focused or merely busy? Jones Loflin sits down with Kevin to reveal the secret of focus, inspired by honeybees. Jones introduces six essential "permissions" that individuals must grant themselves and emphasizes their particular importance for leaders, who not only need to practice these permissions personally but also guide their team members to recognize and adopt them. These permissions include: The Permission to Prioritize – Bees prioritize maintaining the hive before making honey. How can we identify our most critical goals? The Permission to Plan – Similar to how bees prepare for changing conditions, how can we proactively set ourselves up for success? The Permission to Be Unavailable – Constant accessibility can hinder productivity. How can leaders create an environment conducive to deep work? The Permission to Recharge – Bees rest more than they work. What lessons can we draw from this behavior? The Permission to Change – Often, we stick to habits that are no longer beneficial. How can we embrace necessary changes? The Permission to Be Consistent – Although change is crucial, success frequently arises from disciplined, repeated actions.

SHARE THE WORK -- RSVP to join us March 10th-14th Making Art Work opens for enrollment March 13th! Hi sweeties. I've moved into my new studio and settled into my work (getting ready for Share The Work, writing, and teaching), but painting? That's a different story. Let's talk about what it means to find success in your creative practice year after year. As I continue focusing on creating meaningful art, I find myself thinking so much about Picasso's career and why it's important to honor our personal version of growth, no matter how it unfolds. In this episode, we'll explore: Realizing You're Always Growing and Changing: The success of your work is not linear. Picasso's career is a perfect example—he created less refined work year after year, embracing abstraction more fully as he went. Creative growth doesn't look the same for everyone, and it's okay if your journey is different. We'll also talk about the powerful story from Threads about an old artist who never sold a single painting but continued to create because he valued leaving behind his soul in his work. Anchoring Yourself in Past Successes: Reflecting on past accomplishments can be a source of reassurance. When we look back at the work we're proud of, it reminds us that we're capable of creating great things today and in the future. I mentioned my friend Ekaterina Popova and you must check out her work and Create! Magazine  Looking to Guides for Inspiration: Has someone else walked this path before you? Seeking out mentors and guides who've navigated their own creative journeys can offer invaluable lessons. Sometimes, seeing that others have walked this road without falling off a cliff can give us the confidence to keep moving forward. RSVP for the upcoming Share The Work series starting March 10th!

In this episode I discuss what I am doing to ensure I consistently grow myself.

Colossians 2:6-7

  And he said, In me, my Lord, send I pray by the hand Thou wilt send. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and He said, Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that speaking he will speak. And also behold he goeth forth to meet thee; and he will see thee, and he will be glad in his heart. And thou shalt speak unto him, and shalt put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall be that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God. And thou shalt take in thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs. And Moses went, and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray, and return unto my brethren who are in Egypt, and I shall see whether they yet live. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. And Jehovah said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; because all the men seeking thy soul are dead. And Moses took his wife and his sons, and made them ride upon the ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt; and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. Exodus 4:13-20 Divine Truth is immediate and truth Divine is meditate Arcana Coelestia 6998...for by Moses is represented the Lord as to the Divine truth which proceeds immediately from the Lord; consequently by Aaron, the Divine truth which proceeds mediately from the Lord, and which is the doctrine of good and truth. That truth which Moses here represents is truth which cannot be heard or perceived by man (n. 6982); but the truth which Aaron represents is truth which can be both heard and perceived by man; hence Aaron is called the “mouth,” and Moses his “God;” and hence Aaron is called a “Levite,” for by a “Levite” is signified the doctrine of good and truth of the church, which ministers to and serves the priesthood. AC 7009...  It is said the truth of doctrine which also proceeds mediately from the Lord, because the truth of doctrine, which is represented by Aaron, is such as is heard and perceived by angels and men. This truth is what proceeds mediately from the Lord; but the truth which is represented by Moses, is that which proceeds from the Lord immediately, and is not heard or perceived by men, nor even by angels (n. 6982, 6985, 6996, 7004). 6996[3] That the Divine truth proceeding immediately from the Lord cannot be heard or perceived, is also evident from the correspondences and derivative representatives; namely, that the things a man speaks are presented quite differently with spirits; and the things spirits speak, quite differently with the angels. This can be seen from the spiritual sense of the Word and its literal sense, in that the literal sense, which is adapted to man, is significative and representative of the things which are in the spiritual sense; while this latter sense is not perceptible to man except insofar as it can be presented and expressed by such things as are of the world and of nature; and still less the angelic sense. What then must be the case with the Divine truth proceeding immediately from the Divine of the Lord, which is infinitely above the angelic understanding, and which is not perceptible in heaven except insofar as it passes through heaven, and so puts on a form adapted and suited to the perception of those who are there, which is effected by means of a wonderful influx, not at all comprehensible to anyone! These things have been said in order that it may be known that the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord cannot be heard or perceived by anyone, except through mediations. Fear of Jehovah's anger arises from the response of the proprium to truth AC 6997. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses. That this signifies clemency, is evident from the signification of “the anger of Jehovah,” as not being anger, but the opposite of anger, thus mercy, and here clemency.

On today's episode we are talking about how not adopting the latest trends in workforce flexibility might be killing your company.  Jones Loflin, an educator turned internationally recognized speaker and author, is known for his impactful books like "Always Growing" and "Juggling Elephants," available in the US and 14+ countries. His work, including "Getting The Blue Ribbon" and "Getting to It," offers practical strategies for personal and professional growth. Founder of Jones U, he provides online courses and coaching for self-paced learning. Previously the "Trainer of Trainers" for "Who Moved My Cheese?" Jones holds degrees from North Carolina State University and is a member of the National Speaker's Association.  Episode Highlights: ·       Shift from Work-Life Balance to Work-Life Success: There has been a shift from the concept of work-life balance to work-life success. That balance implies a static state, whereas success entails being present in the moment and investing time where it is needed most. ·       Accountability and Communication: Accountability is crucial in ensuring that work gets done efficiently, especially in environments with flexible policies like unlimited leave. Regular check-ins and effective listening by leaders foster a supportive and productive work culture. ·       Adapting Leadership Styles: Leaders must adapt their management approach based on whether team members are working in-person or remotely. Effective leaders prioritize consistent communication, active listening, and understanding the needs of their team members. ·       Flexibility in Work Arrangements: The trend towards flexible work arrangements, including remote work options, continues to grow. Successful organizations prioritize autonomy for their teams while also establishing clear guidelines and expectations for productivity and collaboration. ·       Business Case for In-Office Time: Organizations should establish a clear business case for requiring employees to be in the office certain days of the week. By identifying specific times when in-person collaboration is necessary, companies can justify their policies and gain employee buy-in. ·       Data-Driven Approach to Change: When considering changes to work policies, such as remote work options or leave policies, it's essential to gather data through employee engagement surveys or assessments. Knee-jerk reactions can lead to unintended consequences, so it's crucial to make informed decisions based on feedback from employees. ·       Leadership Role in Addressing Burnout: By creating psychologically safe environments where employees feel comfortable discussing their challenges, leaders can help prevent burnout. Additionally, leading by example, demonstrating vulnerability, and acknowledging personal work preferences can foster understanding and support within the team.Jones' Top 3 Takeaways for the Audience:People go about getting work done differently. As much as possible, we need to respect that individual cadence instead of trying to put everyone into a box.Organizations must make the business case for whatever flexible work policies they are going to put in place. People should be consistently intentional about what they need from work so when they are done with work, we are doing the things we really want to be doing.  How to Connect with Jones:Website: https://jonesloflin.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonesloflin/

Morning Mantra: “Don't just go through life, grow through life.”Some things will change you. Some things will challenge you. Some things will test you. Some things will break you. Never stand still and do nothing with the time you're given. Let it push you, mold you, and force you to become the best version of yourself.If you feel broken, pick yourself up and choose to repair yourself. If you feel challenged, step up and don't quit until you succeed.The point is growth. Proving to yourself that you're capable of owning your story, readjusting the ending, and moving forward despite it all.#BeAlwaysGrowing #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

CDI Director for Tufts Medicine. Recently went back to school to earn her MBA. Contributor to, and co-author of, the latest ACDIS-AHIMA physician query practice brief. Speaker at the upcoming ACDIS conference. And all-around cool person. Keisha Downes, BSN, RN, CCDS, CCS, joined me recently to talk about her impressive career in healthcare, a path that started from humble beginnings at Wal-Mart, then to nursing, travel nursing, and finally CDI, which took her from her home state of Virginia to my home state of Massachusetts. Today Downes serves as CDI director over a 3-hospital system and a staff of 21. She constantly challenges herself to learn and do new things, and is constantly learning and growing as a result. We get a bit into her ACDIS session, CDI Mortality Reviews: Going Beyond SOI/ROM, as well as Tufts' metrics for success and mortality review process. And a little bit about a session I plan to deliver at ACDIS about my former colleague, the late Melissa Varnavas. We happen to share a similar love of 80s hard rock, which was an unexpected surprise. Downes' CDI oversight includes Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, the place where I was born—another surprise. Which often occurs when speaking with my guests. Come to think of it, I wonder if my mom's admission and my delivery was given a proper CDI review—probably not, this was 1973. Pre-DRGs, pre-EHR, almost pre-electricity.

We believe with God, every day should be better than the day before.

Many of us buy into the cultural idea that there is only one way to parent, and if we do it correctly, things will turn out okay, and everyone will approve of us. But when grown children leave home, parents don’t get to keep the identity they held for so long, and that can feel scary. On this episode of Bewildered, Martha and Ro discuss the challenges of launching grown-up children and finding a new identity. If you're a parent—or someone who has had parents—this thought-provoking episode is for you!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Topic: Leveraging Impact   Guest: Na'ama Ore   Bio:    Na'ama Ore, is the CEO of SparkIL.    SparkIL is a new first-of-its-kind peer-to-peer lending platform where individuals can give interest-free loans to small businesses in Israel (see press release attached).

Welcome Jones. Jones   Oh, pleasure to be here with you, Marlana. Thanks for the opportunity to talk about a subject near and dear to my heart, which is making the best choices with your time. Marlana   And honestly, sometimes a subject that I can be a hot mess with. So why do you think we struggle with time management? Jones   Well, first of all, let me say this, I don't have it all figured out. If I tell a lot of people that when I do have it all figured out, I'll be dead, and it won't matter. You know because it is such a difficult topic. I think one of the things that happens for many people is it's just this whole term time management. You know, we really don't manage time, as Charlie Gilkey says, you know, we manage schedules, we manage energy, we manage choices, time can only be accounted for. It's only in the rearview mirror can we look back and go, Oh, yeah, that was not a good choice, which led to taking too much time with this and those kinds of things? And answer to your question, the reason I think we struggle is because we have so many competing demands on our time and competing expectations, you know, what we expect of ourselves, what our boss expects of us, what our family expects of us. And so sometimes it's hard to cut through the clutter, and figure out what is the best choice for me to make in this moment, and then you add in, you know, poor energy levels, so we don't have the mental energy to make the best decisions or to hold on to those healthy boundaries, that I think it's just a cadre of reasons that bring us to the point of we as not making the best choices with your time. Marlana   You know, it's interesting because I believe that people don't seem to understand that everything comes at a cost. The cost does not necessarily have to be monetary, but if we say yes to something, then we're saying no to something else, because we only have a limited amount of time. So even if we say yes to something that we want to do or saying no to maybe another choice that we could have made or relaxing or anything, there's always a give and take here. That being the case, how do we make better choices? Jones   I think it starts with stopping. And I know that sounds strange, but I make the comment sometimes that I think we're so busy checking boxes, we haven't stopped to ask ourselves, are these the right boxes to check? And so, I think it starts with stopping and giving yourself some space to say, what is important to me and to even step back? What are my values? What do I value? What's my purpose? I mean, I think it really starts with getting to that deeper level, and saying, what is it I want from my life, from my work, from the choices that I'm...
