Podcasts about become irreplaceable

In real estate, you can get away with being a transactional salesperson - going from one deal to the next - for a limited amount of time. At some point, you'll have to shift to being relational if you want long-term success.  Anybody can get one deal…but it takes a completely different skillset to keep a relationship and get business for the rest of someone's life.  There are many ways we can nurture a long-term relationship with clients. Sending out valuable content, giving gifts and hosting client events, but a humble handwritten “thank you” card can actually be more effective than anything else.  Gratitude isn't just a great behavior to train ourselves on, it can give us the competitive advantage in business. How can we use gratitude and handwritten notes to build stronger relationships? How do you consistently show up for the people in your sphere? How do we practice gratitude when we don't feel like it? In this episode, I'm joined by Mr. Thank You, John Israel. The keynote speaker, author and gratitude coach talks about his journey, sending 1800 cards in a year, and how to shift out of transactional selling.  Anybody can get a deal, but to keep a relationship and get their business for the rest of their life takes work. -John Israel Things You'll Learn In This Episode  What you appreciate wants to duplicate In order to get more out of our relationships, we have to take responsibility for them. How do we reinforce our connection with people? How to be grateful when you don't feel like it Gratitude doesn't come naturally for human beings, so how do we make it a habit?  Go beyond handwritten cards  Handwritten cards are a strategic tool to make more connections, but it's not just about sending out a handwritten card and disappearing. How do we make sure we're consistent in our care and communication?   Guest Bio John Israel is a keynote speaker, author, and founder and Chief Gratitude officer of Mr. Thank You, a consulting firm focused on client and employee retention.

Back in the day, the University of Miami Hurricanes were a dynasty and dominated college football for many years. But the last decade has brought many dark days. A year ago, they hired Manny Diaz to run the once-storied program and be the head coach. However, the man behind Manny Diaz that’s turning these young men into national championship-caliber players is a strength coach named Dave Feeley. Interestingly enough, Dave Feeley and I have a lot in common. We are both from Brick, NJ. We both played football for Coach Wolf. We both are in strength & conditioning. And we both LOVE turning people into champions.  As someone who has mentored Dave now since his high school days, it’s incredible to see the IMPACT Coach Feeley is having on the university, the football program, and these athletes. Let’s go down to Coral Gables, FL, now after Coach Feeley just got done training his athletes. Buckle-up your boot-straps and get ready to get better. You’re going to get an inside look at what commitment, effort, drive, and sacrifice is needed to not only turn-around a program, but to turn it back into national prominence again.   Enjoy the episode and I look forward to hearing your feedback.  Tag me: @ToddDurkin   TIMESTAMPS: 1:08- Meet Coach Dave Feeley 7:35- The Catapulting Moment of His Strength & Conditioning Career 8:12- Follow Your Calling 10:45- The Beauty of “Sink or Swim” Moments 11:53- Dave’s Journey Through College Programs 16:32- How Dave Has Impacted The Culture of Miami Football Strength 20:04- The University of Miami’s Unique Game Day Routines  32:08- The Art of Working of All Kinds of People 33:33- Biggest Lesson From Coaching At Many Different Universities 36:26- Meet With Your Athletes More 41:41- “Become Irreplaceable.” 43:02- How To Continue To Learn When You’ve Reached A High Level 45:33- Dave Feeley’s Legacy-- What Drives Him   Thank You, Coach Dave Feeley, for being a guest on the IMPACT Show Podcast!Twitter: @coach_davefeeley -- If you enjoy the Todd Durkin IMPACT Show, can you please do a few things: Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes.

Are you replaceable? 

In this episode I talk about how you can make yourself more irreplaceable and more valuable as a golf professional By doing the things nobody else thinks are important.

The subject came up again. Bi-weekly, I facilitate an entrepreneurs’ online mastermind group, and during last night’s session, I took them through an exercise I call a Celebration and Checkpoint Review. I asked them to think about and write down their answers to these four questions: What are 3 things you've learned since we started? 3 things you’ve implemented? 3 things you still need to improve on? 3 groups you would like to influence or target to help? From the answers shared, I noticed a pattern I’ve heard from many people I’ve spoken to or done trainings for. It either comes as a complaint or a confession. What is this commonality?  The lack of execution for creative concepts, opportunities, or commitments. As I often remind those I interact with, “You can know a lot, have the greatest amount of knowledge, or become privy to important information, but if you do nothing with what you know, it means nothing. The difference between knowledge and wisdom is execution.”  Let me give you a positive and inspiring example of a great executor. Her name is Gina. Everyone who meets her says they want a Gina. I want a Gina!  What I know of Gina’s story is that she has worked her way up from volunteer, to part-time helper, to administrative assistant, to titles like Director of Operations and now in her current role as Executive Pastor at her church, CLC Rolla. But there is no secret to her success.   Gina excels at execution. She follows through on every task, and she does so with the best of attitudes. She may not always feel happy (especially when she has to clean up after those who don’t execute—again), but you will not know it by her tone of voice, facial expressions, body language, or verbiage.   She presents herself calmly, respectfully, professionally, and maturely, but this does not mean she shies away from dealing with hard truths or difficult issues. You never want to misinterpret Gina’s kindness as weakness—she’s one of the strongest young women I know.   Does she get frustrated, disappointed, and maybe even angry sometimes? Of course, she’s human. But she handles herself with the utmost dignity, committed to not letting her emotions rule her choices, she gets the job done despite challenges. Gina decides daily to exercise execution to the best of her ability. When I think of excellent executors, Gina always comes to mind.   Gina is the epitome of the kind of person I described in my book, First Hired, Last Fired: How to Become Irreplaceable in Any Job Market. She’s the person that though someone else might step in to do her job, things would never quite be the same. She is truly irreplaceable. I cannot imagine anyone else fulfilling Gina’s role or making her impact, as well as she does.   So let’s talk about the traits that have led to Gina’s success, and how her example can help you become a solid executor for tending your dreams.    Defining Excellent Execution: Acting with integrity—doing the same things whether you believe anyone else can see or hear you or not. An excellent executor holds themselves accountable and makes good use of their time when no one else is around.  Being a promise-keeper versus a promise-breaker. (We’ve talked about this on previous shows.) An excellent executor is someone others can trust and count on to follow through.  Focus on what you can—not on what you cannot. An excellent executor does not wallow in self-pity or negative self-talk, instead, they work out of their strengths and are teachable and willing to learn in areas of weakness.  Choosing to do any job with the heart of a servant leader. An excellent executor has a motive to care for others, and to do so with compassion along with a drive to give more than receive.  Treating your clients, customers, or audiences as if their needs are truly important. Saying is not the same as doing. An excellent executor makes statements they mean and means the statements they make.  Working their way up. An excellent executor doesn’t waste energy grumbling or complaining, they simply dig in and get what needs to be done finished, gaining credibility and opportunities for growth along the way.  Filling Needs:  Honestly assess yourself right now—would the people who know you, work with you, and need your help say you are an excellent executor?   Where could you improve in order to become an excellent executor for the benefit of others and the tending of your dreams? Are you willing to commit to a life of excellent execution? If so, write it down, sign and date your resolution, and then, keep your word.  What have you allowed to get in the way of your execution efforts up to this point?   This episode’s Dream Tending Tips: Pick three things this week that you will commit to executing on when it comes to tending your dreams. Remember, dreams don’t just happen by themselves—you have to partner your efforts with God and tend until you make them happen.  If someone owes you money, don’t procrastinate—execute. Create an invoice and send it to them. Many dream tenders struggle with this in the early days of making their dreams come true. Track your time—in black and white. Don’t kid yourself about time management or productivity, measure for accuracy, and then work to improve when you identify areas of weakness. Tending your dreams successfully means having solid information to work with. Consider the Zaccheaus Zeal challenge from my book, First Hired, Last Fired. Resolve to give back four times what you take: in time, energy, resources, and value. Try it dream tender, and I promise, you will receive more than you pour out.   Don’t take on more than you are capable of executing. Delegate, teamwork, collaborate—these are terms wise executors and dream tenders know. Excellent execution is not about doing it all yourself.  In order to become irreplaceable, a difference must be evident. And becoming an excellent executor is a difference others are looking to work with and support.  Execute support and celebration for other dream tenders. As I shared in my new book, Exceedingly: Spiritual Strategies for Living on Purpose, with Purpose, and for an Abundant Purpose, when we authentically and selflessly lift others up, our dreams get a boost, too.  I also have some special eBook pricing for you. Type in the code TYDeb50 to get your copy of 4x4 Habit Overhaul, or One Minute Intervals™: Sixty Seconds to a Healthier, Foodier You, or Depression Busters, at over half off the normal price.

With setbacks, difficulties, accusations and troubles; it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking things aren't fair when we are not treated properly. But what if we thought as Joseph did? Things would be very different. Author Anita Agers-Brooks says that it's not what happened to him that is relevant, it's what he did with his circumstances that made the difference. Doors will open and success will come when we just follow Josephs example. He didn't give up, he just kept on keeping on with integrity, ethics and no complaints. What if we took the complaints out of our language? It would transform our lives! As Christian Entrepreneurs, we are to work as unto the Lord. Just like Joseph, our daily habits need to be consistent with humbling ourselves and honoring God in everything we do. Even when no one else is looking, God will honor our efforts when there is no sign of rescue or success. When Joseph persisted he was raised to a higher stature, responsibility and honor. Listen in to what Anita has to share and be encouraged to live like Joseph! Watch full interview >>> http://bit.ly/MimikaTV33 #kingdombusiness #christianentrepreneur

A few years ago, the third Monday in January was labeled Blue Monday by many experts in the mental health field. But no matter what day of the week it occurs on, Anita Agers-Brooks, common trauma expert, and author of Getting Through What You Can’t Get Over, believes January 21st is a good barometer to predict the most depressing day of the year. But why January 21st? If it takes twenty-one days for a mindset to change, earmarking January 21st as the most depressing day of the year may just make sense. According to Brooks, based on several pieces of research she’s studied, as well as based on extensive interviews she’s conducted with everyday people, there are several contributors that solely, or linked with others, can throw even the hardiest soul into the pit of depression on or around this date. Coming off the high of the holidays. Family member/friend goodbyes, after holiday reunions. Fewer activities to look forward to. Holiday bills coming in. Cabin fever. Less exposure to fresh air, and nature's other healing properties. Cold and windy weather. Less sunshine. Cold and flu season peak. Reduced amounts of exercise. Less exposure to the blues, greens, yellows, reds, pinks, and oranges, that are known energizers according to the spectrum of the psychology of color. Fewer face-to-face social interactions with other human beings. New Year's resolutions have now failed. So how do you personally off-set some of these melancholy contributors? When it comes to post-holiday blues, there are a few simple tips that can help. Intentionally focus your thoughts on something challenging, fresh and positive — a different kind of activity from anything you currently do. Take up a new hobby. It can be something you’ve always wanted to try, but choose something that requires concentrated effort. The human mind cannot think two distinctly different thoughts simultaneously, so for those used to the analytical world of left-brain work, try a creative right-brain project, like taking up drawing, painting, writing, or learning a musical instrument. If none of those sound appealing, take up a new kind of physical activity, different from anything you’ve tried in the past. Pick a change of pace in the martial arts, kick-boxing, training for a 5K or half-marathon, or if your spouse is willing, really think outside the box and rev up your marriage at the same time by taking up dancing lessons. Swing, ballroom, waltz, latino, whatever pushes you out of your comfort area, and requires your full attention. When sadness lingers long after your loved ones’ holiday visit is over, begin planning your next get-together. It’s been proven that anticipation is as good or better than an actual event. If you aren’t necessarily sad over missing a person, but boredom and the blahs are your nemeses, plan once-a-month mini-vacations or weekend getaways. Your destinations don’t have to be extravagant or costly, you can even transform your home into a tropical fantasy island for a couple of days. Just choose something you can outline to give you a positive event to work toward, and allow your mind to look forward to the big date. If holiday bills are stressing you out, take thirty minutes to an hour, and create a budget that you write on paper or a computer. By putting things in black and white, you’ll give yourself a true perspective. Often, a situation feels more overwhelming when we aren’t clear on the details. What we fear is often much worse than the facts. Cabin fever is a real malady. If you are beginning to feel cooped up, even though you’re getting out to do your job, take a mental break and get away for a day. Go someplace out of the ordinary, like a museum, science center, indoor sporting event, or even a long walk in a wooded area — especially if you can do it after a fresh, white snow. Nature has proven herself a powerful healing agent, increasing the benefits of physical exercise tremendously when we do it in a peaceful outside climate. Breathe in fresh air, and breathe in a fresh spirit. When it’s cold outside, heat yourself up by giving special treatment to your toes. Soak your feet in a warm Epsom salt bath. The magnesium and other minerals in Epsom salt have many healing properties, including natural anti-depressant chemicals, and when you warm your feet in water, you get an inside and outside boost of healing heat. Have your doctor check your Vitamin D levels to see if you need supplements to get you up to par. One of the reasons many people suffer from higher degrees of depression in the winter is due to less sun exposure, which offers natural infusions of Vitamin D, a known depression-buffering vitamin. One of the best preventative medicines for colds and flu also happen to be powerful anti-depressants. Citrus fruits and vegetables. Oranges, lemon, lime, grapefruit, kiwi, pomegranate, tomato, green peppers, green chile, or any other natural fruit or veggie that’s high in Vitamin C can help you kick a cold to the curb, as well as lift your mood. If you can’t exercise outside, don’t have a treadmill or other home equipment, can’t get to the gym, or can’t devote 20-60 minutes to an exercise regimen then do one-minute intervals when and where you can. Sixty seconds of jumping jacks, running in place, skipping an invisible rope, dancing, kicking, air boxing, or anything else that gets your limbs moving will work. If you do 20 intervals in a day, you’ve gotten twenty minutes of exercise in. Surround yourself with some color, the ones known to soothe and energize. Green, blue, yellow, will calm and lower blood pressure, while red, pink, and orange will elevate your energy. Change your computer screensaver, your telephone background, carry a photo or drawing, anything that lends to an uplifted spirit will work. Try to view at least once an hour to reframe your brain through the psychology of color. When you feel like avoiding everyone is precisely when you might need to be around people the most. Withdrawal from human interaction is a symptom of depression. If the black clouds of overwhelming emotions are causing you to pull back from other people, do what feels uncomfortable, make yourself do something social with others. Studies have shown that anxious or depressed people, those battling PTSD or other trauma-induced issues, assume that having conversations with others will make them feel worse when in actuality, the opposite is true. Those surveyed said they were surprised to discover that their fear of having a face-to-face interaction was unfounded, they actually felt better once it occurred. Anita stopped making New Year resolutions several years ago. Instead, she began to incorporate a One Word focus into her annual commitment to making a fresh start. This year, her One Word is Rise. This gives her a lens with which to look at her life through. She knows this word will help her rise above circumstances, but it is also a great word for application to the list of things that can lead to the most depressing day of the year. Anita said, “I can rise above my emotions, and act on what I can while accepting what I cannot change. Think the Serenity Prayer. There's something about a One Word focus that brushes the clouds of confusion back and adds clarity to chaotic situations. Much of depression is based on a sense of helplessness, but often, this is our emotions lying to us, versus absolute truth.” For those in the field working death investigations, what One Word could keep you motivated throughout the year? What word could inspire and energize you? Is there a One Word focus you can add this year, infusing you with a compass to move you away from depression and toward a happier outcome? Is there a word that will keep you focused on purpose, gratitude, productivity, or meeting your goals. When you review the list of areas that can lead to depression, ask yourself, what decisions can I make that will enable me to rise above my circumstances? Can I tweak something in my life to make me proactive versus reactive? We may not be able to change the factors that lead to depression, but we can certainly move our minds up. Investigating what’s going on in our own brains and bodies can give us the boost we need — and help us get through, no matter what challenges we face. Intentionality in the areas of our bodies, minds, and spirits can help us smile, even on the most depressing day of the year.   Anita Agers-Brooks Inspirational Business/Life Coach, International Speaker, Host of Fresh Faith Inspy on Periscope and YouTube, (as Anita Fresh Faith), and Author of...   Amazon Best Seller, Golden Scroll Finalist, and Readers' Favorite Award winner: Getting Through What You Can't Get Over -- Barbour Publishing   First Hired, Last Fired -- How to Become Irreplaceable in Any Job Market -- Leafwood Publishers    "In business, as in life and love -- It's Never Too Late For a Fresh Start with Fresh Faith." www.anitabrooks.com   www.zenithzone.com       Death Investigator Magazine A digital magazine focused on the death investigation community.

Police work and in particular, death investigation,   is one of the most stressful jobs in this country. Day after day, investigators see the worst of humanity; absorb the world’s negativity, and come home to families who love them. How can you not expect this to have an effect on your mind, body, and soul? Not to mention the effect it has on your family, so ask yourself the question; is your job destroying your family? We need to recognize the warning signs of stress and how it can affect our lives and the lives of our family.  The biggest danger in law enforcement related stress is ignoring it!  Children According to a 2002 study led by Rudy Arredondo, law enforcement children “can develop traumatic stress vicariously” through watching and listening to their parents experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This exposure can cause symptoms such as hyperarousal, intrusive thoughts, eating disorders and aggressive agitated behaviors. Children can even share the same memories or re-enact the LEO’s trauma by knowing that a traumatic event was experienced by the parent. Spouses The research conducted on law enforcement marriage rates has mixed conclusions. Matthews (2011) indicates that some studies have law enforcement divorce rates as high as 75% while other studies indicate law enforcement divorce rates to be lower than the national average. Tips for Strengthening a Law Enforcement Marriage:   Leave the stress of the job, at the job. Learn to switch gears and pay attention to your spouse when you walk in the front door at home. Become an active listener to your spouse’s needs. Avoid the law enforcement culture and do not accept that the workaholic lifestyle is acceptable to your spouse. It is not healthy for a marriage to spend limited time together. Emotional detachment is needed for the job, but learn to turn it off at home. Make a Planned Date Night around your work schedule… and do it often! Do not allow “Partner Envy” or a feeling of competition for your time to enter your home. Be spontaneous, let your spouse know you care and think about him/her often. Keep your civilian friends (not everything needs to be cop, cop, and cop). Share the workload around the house and partner with your partner (hint-hint) Seek the help of a marriage counselor or help with PTSD if needed. Tips from an article written by Mark Bond- for full article click here:   Married to the Badge Protecting Yourself Police officers have one of the highest suicide rates in the nation, possibly the highest. They have a high divorce rate, about second in the nation. They are problem drinkers about twice as often as the general population. These facts are warning signals for unseen problems that are not being handled. Researchers use suicide, divorce and alcoholism rates as three key indexes of stress in a group of people. Clearly, police work is stressful. Hans Selye, the foremost researcher in stress in the world, said that police work is “the most stressful occupation in America even surpassing the formidable stresses of air traffic control.” We need to recognize the warning signs of stress and how it can affect our lives and the lives of our families.  The biggest danger in law enforcement related stress is ignoring it. Police stress is not always unique nor obvious. Almost any single stressor in police work can be found in another occupation. What is unique is all the different stressors in one job. Many people see the dangers of acute stressors such as post-shooting trauma and have programs dealing with them. These stressors are easy to see because of the intense emotional strain a person suffers. But what about the not so obvious, chronic stressors; are they important? Chronic Stress Chronic stress has at least two effects on people. First, prolonged stress causes people to regress. Their psychological growth reverses, and they become more immature. They rapidly become more childish and primitive. A common example is a sick person who is miserable and in pain for several days. Any wife will agree that her husband becomes self-centered, whiny and irritable; he expects constant attention and care. He behaves like a young, selfish child. People naturally regress during chronic discomfort. Second, chronic stress numbs people’s sensitivity. They can’t stand to continually see human misery. They must stop feeling or they won’t survive. The mind has this defense mechanism so people can continue working in horrible situations. If they kept their normal sensitivity, they would fall apart. As they become insensitive to their own suffering, they become insensitive to the suffering of others. When treated with indignity they lose not only a sense of their own dignity but also the dignity of others. The pain of others stops bothering them, and they are no longer bothered when they hurt others. Police officers and death investigators encounter stressors in call after call which saps their strength. Debilitation from this daily stress accumulates making officers more vulnerable to traumatic incidents and normal pressures of life. The weakening process is often too slow to see; neither a person nor his friends are aware of the damage being done.
