JULIE BAUKE OF THE BAUKE GROUP JOINS DAWN LIVE - WHAT ARE THE REMOTE OPPORTUNITIES LOOKING LIKE IN 2024? CAN YOU ONLY ADVANCE ONLY IN PERSON? HOW CAN COMPANIES RETAIN WORKERS? JULIE EXPANDS ON THE SECOND PROMPT REGARDING EMPLOYEE RETENTION.. HOW CAN AMERICANS CHASE CAREER GOALS IN THIS ECONOMY? HOW TO IMPLEMENT SHORT TERM GOALS TO FIND LONG TERM SOLUTIONS... JULIE COMMENTS ON ALL THIS... (Business Insider)Employees do pay a professional price for being able to work from home, a recent survey found.Remote employees were the least likely to get promotions and raises in 2023, according to a survey from Resume Builder that surveyed 1,190 full-time employees in December. The survey... found just 42% of remote workers surveyed got a promotion in 2023, as compared to 55% of those in the office all the time. As for raises, just 41% of remote workers got a 10% raise or more while about 50% of fully in-office and hybrid staff got the same raise. However, remote employees also appear to be happier. Employees who were in the office fully reported more stress and unhappiness at work, with 11% of full in-office employees rating their mental health as "poor or terrible" as compared to 8% of remote workers. Another 43% of fully in-office employees said they were "very stressed" against 30% of remote workers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, half of the fully in-office employees said they will be seeking a new job next year, while just over a third of remote workers said they would do the same. Read more. (HR Brew)Retention bonuses aren't anything new. But one that relies on what your coworkers are doing? That's not something you see every day—unless you work at Stella & Chewy's.The pet food company's Wisconsin manufacturing site, which employs over 600 of its nearly 800 global employees, has struggled with retention in recent years, said Bruce Larson, chief people officer at Stella & Chewy's, with its voluntary turnover rate hitting 62% in 2022... He hopes his company's new retention plan will help dramatically decrease their voluntary turnover rate. What's the plan? Earlier this year, Stella & Chewy's announced the Stay Plan to boost retention. It incentivizes manufacturing workers, dubbed “production pack members,” to stay with the company by offering $15,000 bonuses if the site's overall voluntary turnover rate drops below 23% in three years. All manufacturing employees at the Wisconsin site, at the end of three years, are eligible for the bonus. Read more. Will this help keep workers from quitting? What's the takeaway for workers? Must we choose between career advancement and being happy? Julie Bauke (rhymes with NOW-kee) is Founder and Chief Career Strategist with The Bauke Group. Julie also worked for 16 years in HR.

Day 202 Today's Reading: Titus 2 Do you have the happiest or the unhappiest job? Recently Bloomberg Work Wise put out a list of the happiest jobs in America, based on fulfillment, coworkers, supervisors, and balance of home and life. Here are the top five: firefighters topped the list, followed by machine operators, pediatricians, communication professors, and guidance counselors. Bloomberg also listed the top jobs in which people are asking, “Is it 5 p.m. yet?” These are the jobs where lunch hour rescues them. They are: mail clerks and sorters are the first on the list, followed in order by court and municipal clerks, house cleaners, insurance claims and policy clerks, telemarketers. When talking about work, A. W. Tozer said: “We must do worldly jobs, but if we do them with sanctified minds, they no longer are worldly but are as much a part of our offering to God as anything else we give to Him.” In today's chapter Paul wants to teach us a lesson on work, regardless of which list we are on. And we find no better place to know how to sanctify our minds and make our job an offering to God than in Titus 2:9-10: "Servants are to be supportive of their masters and do what is pleasing in every way. They are not to be argumentative nor steal but prove themselves to be completely loyal and trustworthy. By doing this they will advertise through all that they do the beautiful teachings of God our Savior." (TPT) In Titus 2, Paul begins to give advice to a number of different groups. He speaks to the men and women who are part of AARP; he calls them older men and older women. Then he has advice for young men and young women. And then Paul speaks to laborers who encompass all these groups. Author Dorothy Sayers, one of C. S. Lewis's literary friends said: “The only Christian work is good work well done.” That's our goal: good work well done. In their book, The Edge of Adventure, Keith Miller and Bruce Larson wrote, “If you are miserable or bored in your work, or dread going to it, then God is speaking to you. He either wants you to change the job you are in or—more likely—he wants to change you.” I think Paul helps us here, regardless of what job we have, and I think Titus 2 is a good place to start with wanting us to change. Paul says when we work the right way in our jobs, we advertise God the Savior through what we do, not what we say. A lot of people like to talk, but it is those who do rather than talk who make the greatest impact. Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz said: “When all is said and done, more is usually said than done.” Let's be a people who do more than say more. Here is Paul's challenge for us, our on-the-job training: • be supportive • do what is pleasing in every way • do not be argumentative • don't steal • prove to be completely loyal and trustworthy Paul tells us to make those things our priority and we will be a walking advertisement for God. The Living Bible paraphrases that last part like this: “In this way they will make people want to believe in our Savior and God.” We make God attractive by being a great employee. We witness for Jesus without even saying the name of Jesus. Jesus alluded to this principle in the Sermon on the Mount: “Your lives light up the world. Let others see your light from a distance. . . . Let it shine brightly before others, so that the commendable things you do will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16, TPT). Here it is in its simplicity. People see your good actions and attribute them to God in your life. It goes like this: your Christian faith should translate into good employee habits—showing up on time, not stealing, not being argumentative, being loyal, being trustworthy. When you are a good worker, you make God look good. Then eventually that opens the way for you to have a good God conversation with others about it. Talking to people about your faith is last, not first. Usually those who talk first have a lifestyle that messes up their conversation. Charles Swindoll shares an old story of Saint Francis of Assisi. One day Saint Francis said to one of his students, “Come with me. Let's go down to the village and preach to the people who need our Savior.” Off they went. Once at the gate they stopped, bent down to speak kind words to a crippled old man, and gave him a cool drink of water and a few coins. Then they saw some children playing with a ball out in the field, so they joined their game and had fun with the children. While they played, a lonely widow watching at her doorstep drew their attention. When they finished the game, they visited with her, bringing her a few words of cheer and encouragement. A fearful young man lurked in the shadows, ashamed of what he had done the night before. They prayed with him, spoke with him openly and freely about forgiveness, grace, and mercy, and they encouraged him to pursue a more productive future. On the way out of town, they stopped at a small store and greeted the merchant, asked about his family, and thanked him for his faithful work through the years. Finally Saint Francis said, “Let's go back.” The novice stopped and said, “But wait, when do we preach?” The older friar answered, “Every step we took, every word we spoke, every action we did has been a sermon.” Imagine how well we could represent God if we approached our lives and work that same way?

Pentecost Sunday Text: Ezekiel 37:1-14 One of the great joys every pastor gets to know is the joy that comes from officiating a ceremony of marriage. At least that's how I've always felt about my role. That's because I have seen it not so much as a responsibility I must discharge as a participant in a civil event, but more as privilege I have to participate in a sacred one. If you've done as many weddings as I have, you come to know the traditional ceremony by heart; and in particular, the pronouncement of marriage, where at the end of the ceremony the minister proclaims: “What God hath joined together, let no one put asunder.” Those words are a reminder not only to the couple being married but also to everyone in attendance how the purpose of every marriage is to celebrate the work of God's Holy Spirit, as the Spirit comes down upon the couple to make the two to become one in and for Christ. But sadly, as we all know from the divorce statistics, not every marriage lives in to such a purpose. Not every marriage stays together. Some marriages are “put asunder” to use the language of the traditional marriage ceremony. And more times than not, it's because not every couple is willing to do the hard work that comes from making their marriage all God intends for it to be. They forget to put Christ first in their marriage. They forget to keep themselves open to the Spirit's presence and power. And as a result, they drift apart. But when God truly joins something together, there is nothing that can tear it apart, simply because of how God draws near to become a part of it, be it a marriage or a ministry initiative or even a church. People who have a place for the Spirit of God make it through each day on the conviction that life is not random, but that God is in control. And whatever God brings to pass is something that will last forever and forever, Amen. That's what the prophet Ezekiel came to discover at a time in his life when he found himself in a most disconcerting place – a valley of dry bones. Ezekiel was a prophet who ministered during the time of the Babylonian Exile, about 600 years before Christ. The city of Jerusalem had fallen to the Babylonians, and after having deposed the king and destroyed the Jerusalem Temple, the Babylonians took with them the best and the brightest back to Babylon. And among those exiles was the prophet, Ezekiel. What was groundbreaking about Ezekiel's ministry to the exiles was his insistence that God's Presence abided with them even in a faraway place like Babylon. Up to that time, there was a generally held belief among ancient people that a nation's god was confined to the boundaries of that nation, sort of like those “Police Jurisdiction” signs you see in small towns today, which mark the boundaries wherein local law enforcement agencies conduct their work. Therefore, the question that was on the minds of the exiles in Babylon was, “Is God with us way over here in Babylon?” “Can God's power be known in this distant place?” “Can God keep us together and see us through this calamitous time?” Those are questions many of us know all too well, because they mirror so plainly the questions that are on our hearts also. “Is God with me in this time of loss?” “Can I count on God in this place of stress?” “Does God see me in this place of pain?” You don't have to be too far away from familiar turf to identify with the anguish of exile. Any place that seems bereft of hope can be that place of deportation – that place to which you feel you have been banished to a life of meaninglessness and insignificance. All of us at some point fall prey to those feelings, even those of us who consider ourselves to be strong in our faith. It was even that way for Ezekiel. You look at how the book of Ezekiel begins, and there is God's prophet, summoning his people to courage and hope. But as time goes by in Babylon, even Ezekiel begins to wonder if maybe God has given up on His people. Like many of us who have this uncanny knack of holding out hope in the face of the most discouraging circumstances, there is always a point when you ask yourself the question, “What's the use?” Ezekiel had reached precisely that point in the text I read for you today. As he explains it, the “hand of the LORD” had led him to the middle of a valley, full of dry bones. Most likely, this valley was a battlefield, and the bones were of those who had fallen in battle. All around Ezekiel were signs and indicators of death. Which leads us to ask the question, “Why would the hand of the LORD put Ezekiel in such a place?” Might it have been because the exiles had given up hope of ever returning to Jerusalem and were “making no bones about it,” pun intended? Might it have been because they had been hounding Ezekiel about how God had forgotten them in the land of exile? Might it have been because God wanted Ezekiel to see that he was capable of bringing them, dead as they were, back to life so that Ezekiel might be renewed in his ministry to the exiles? I trust that you know that the situation described in this text applies even to our day. All around us are people who have given up hope of their lot in life ever improving. For them everything just seems so dry. So, where are the dry areas in your life? Do you believe God is capable of bringing new life to those places of hopelessness? Are you willing to allow Him to do what only He can do in that area of your life? Do you trust Him for a miracle? I love how Ezekiel answers when that question is posed to him. “Son of man, can these bones live? And how does Ezekiel respond? “O Sovereign LORD, you alone know.” “You alone know.” Please understand; Ezekiel is not being weak or doubtful in his response. He's not playing his cards close to the vest with God, as if he's afraid to go out on a limb as to God's ability to do the impossible. No, on the contrary, Ezekiel confesses that God is the Sovereign LORD, and as such, God would be the only one able to do such a thing. To Ezekiel, it was not a matter of God's ability to bring life out of death and hope out of despair; it was God's willingness. Would God want to do such a thing? And the manner in which Ezekiel answered the Spirit's question was a faithful way of opening himself and his people to what he hoped with every fiber of his being that God might be gracious to do. “O Sovereign LORD, you alone know.” In other words, if you don't do it, no one else will. And with that confession of faith on Ezekiel's part, something truly amazing begins to take place. Bones come together. Muscle, flesh, and skin become formed upon them. The wind of God's Spirit sweeps through them. They come to life. They stand to their feet. They become a vast army. “And one day,” God says to Ezekiel, “this is what I will do for my people.” Sometimes God has to bring us to a place, a valley, where we find ourselves at the end of our own resources and where the only hope we have is to rely on a God who alone can bring life out of death. In fact, the only reason that we don't experience more of God's restoration in our lives is because we maintain the delusion that restoration somehow is within our control. But it is not; restoration is not in our control, and the sooner we learn that lesson of faith, the more we will experience the transforming power of God in each and every area of our lives. In his book, Believe and Belong, Bruce Larson tells about a gigantic statue of Atlas that stands in the entrance of the RCA building on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The statue portrays Atlas as an amazingly proportioned man who, with all his muscles straining, is holding the world upon his shoulders. And yet, even though he is the most powerfully built man on earth, Atlas can barely stand under his burden. As Larson observes, “That's one way to live; trying to carry the world on your shoulders.” But Larson also points out how on the other side of Fifth Avenue is Saint Patrick's Cathedral. And there, behind the altar, is a little shrine of the boy Jesus. He is perhaps eight or nine years old, and with no effort he is holding the world in one hand. “We have a choice,” Larson says. “We can choose to try to carry the world on our shoulders, or we can say, ‘I give up, Lord; here is my life. I give you my world.'” If this morning you are “bone weary” from your efforts at making your life hold together, why not turn that responsibility over to God, as He has drawn near to you in His Son Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit? Why not come to the realization that only God knows how the future will play out, because God is in control of the future, and that by yielding your life to Him, you can connect with God's purpose and God's power in a life-giving way? Why not recognize that whereas you and I tend to focus on the pitfalls that are all around us, God always considers only the possibilities? “Can these bones live?” “Can your spirit be restored?” “Can your soul be saved?” It can, if you allow God in Christ to do that which only He can do, because what God joins together, even a bunch of bones in a dry valley, nothing will truly ever put asunder.

DW Rutledge and Dennis Parker, two of his coaching influences. 9. “What you see is what you coach.” 10. “If you don't like it, change it.” The coach is the person in charge. 11. Using Army values in his program. “Everything we do is built around that.” 12. “What it comes down to more than anything is attitude.” 13. “The world is full of educated derelicts.” 14. The Friday morning routines with the team. 15. The army transforming a person “into a machine” in 14 weeks. 16. 2002 state semi-finals vs Auburndale: kids falling back on what they know best. 17. Making changes to the weight training program. 18. The coaching advice to his sons – it starts with relationships. 19. When “what you believe in got beat” it hurts. 20. What makes Wisconsin football unique: tough, hard-nosed kids. Ass-kickers.

Bruce Larson is the head football coach at Somerset High School. He's recognized as one of the best in state of Wisconsin and, actually, in the whole country, having won the Don Shula National High School Coach of the Year award in 2015. Coach is renowned for winning championships on the field and, more importantly, instilling life-long values and habits in those who play for him. In this episode of the SGG podcast, we discussed: 1. Somerset as a working class community. 2. Growing up on a dairy farm in Spring Valley, Wisconsin…where he learned to get things done. 3. The impact of his high school coach, Bob Thomas – how he made his players feel and the time he invested in them. 4. UW-River Falls coach Mike Farley. 5. “Don't worry about winning – just do it the right way and things will be ok.” 6. Arriving at Somerset in 1987 as an assistant coach to Brad Nemec. 7. When everything “fell apart” during his third year as head coach, writing down everything he didn't like in the program. 8. DW Rutledge and Dennis Parker, two of his coaching influences. 9. “What you see is what you coach.” 10. “If you don't like it, change it.” The coach is the person in charge. 11. Using Army values in his program. “Everything we do is built around that.” 12. “What it comes down to more than anything is attitude.” 13. “The world is full of educated derelicts.” 14. The Friday morning routines with the team. 15. The army transforming a person “into a machine” in 14 weeks. 16. 2002 state semi-finals vs Auburndale: kids falling back on what they know best. 17. Making changes to the weight training program. 18. The coaching advice to his sons – it starts with relationships. 19. When “what you believe in got beat” it hurts. 20. What makes Wisconsin football unique: tough, hard-nosed kids. Ass-kickers.
