This episode dives into one of the most overlooked yet influential leadership skills: emotional pacing—the speed, tone, and intensity of your emotional responses in meetings, conversations, decisions, and crises. As the transcript reveals, your team's nervous system mirrors yours, and your emotional tempo has measurable effects on engagement, cognitive capacity, stress levels, and trust. Leaders who master emotional pacing don't just communicate better—they transform culture quietly and powerfully.Through research-backed insight, real-world examples, and actionable strategies, this episode breaks down how emotional pacing works, how it impacts high-performing teams, and how you can intentionally shift your tempo to lead with clarity, stability, and credibility.──────────────────────── Key Talking Points• Why every leader carries an “invisible metronome” that shapes team performance. • How your emotional tempo—fast, reactive, calm, or flat—affects trust, engagement, and stress. • Research from Yale, Stanford, and Gallup on how leaders' emotional tone influences team outcomes. • Why your team shouldn't have to adapt to your emotional pace—and what great leaders do instead. • How to pre-decide your emotional pace before tough meetings, decisions, or conflict. • Practical techniques: pausing, breath work, voice pacing, body language calibration, and post-interaction emotional audits. • How intentional pacing creates psychological safety, resilience, and high performance.──────────────────────── Key Time Stamps00:00 – The Leader's Invisible Metronome01:00 – Emotional Pacing Defined02:00 – When Leadership Pace Becomes “Too Much”03:00 – What the Research Says06:00 – Overreacting vs. Underreacting10:00 – Real-World Example: The Underreactive VP15:00 – How to Deliver Difficult News Stabilizingly17:00 – Celebrations & Positive Energy18:00 – High-Pressure Decisions: The Power of Pausing20:00 – Conflict & Difficult Conversations22:00 – Techniques for Managing Your Pace31:00 – Final Leadership Reminder──────────────────────── Call to ActionIf this episode helped you rethink your leadership presence, follow the show so you never miss an episode.

*Podcast correction-Trent is Amber's husbands name and Anna was adopted from an orphanage in Russia. *** Holidays are finally back to feeling, "normal." Creating new traditions with a few old ones. Like... Remembering what family dinners used to be like... look like during Thanksgiving. First of many years gone by so quickly. Finally being able to cook ALL of the holiday traditions and happy for the compliments too! I always enjoyed cooking. Something I greatly missed due to all of the petty family dysfunction. 2 days of cooking and enjoying dinner with new faces from in town. And those who came in from out of town.

Please Follow us on: Instagram or Facebook ! In this special 200th episode, Kimberly and Tommaso celebrate a milestone while discussing their upcoming move to Italy. They share insights into Italian holiday traditions and meals, offering a look at how these differ from American celebrations. Key Points: The Podcast's Journey: Kimberly and Tommaso il Favoloso reflect on 200 episodes of their podcast which they started during COVID.. Their podcast's goal has always been to share their love of Italy and offer travel insights. Future plans include returning to a weekly episode schedule after their move to Italy. Thanksgiving in America vs. Holidays in Italy: Kimberly describes the traditional American Thanksgiving meal, which has remained largely unchanged for 400 years. Tommaso shares his enjoyment of the Thanksgiving meal. The conversation shifts to Italian holiday meals, highlighting their variety and cultural significance. Visiting Italy during a holiday offers a chance to experience unique traditions and less crowded destinations. Italian Christmas Eve (La Vigilia): Most Europeans celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve with their main meal. The traditional Christmas Eve meal in Italy is seafood, a “lean day” without meat. Italian Christmas Eve dinner begins early with aperitivo, followed by antipasti (no meat), pasta or risotto and fish as the main course. Desserts include panettone, pandoro and torrone. Kimberly recounts loud, lively Christmas Eve dinners in Milan with extended family. Italian Easter (Pasqua): For Easter, Italians eat lamb, not ham. The day starts with Colomba, a dove-shaped, sweeter version of panettone, symbolizing peace and rebirth. Eggs are important, appearing in dishes like torta pasqualina and brodetto pasquale. Artichokes, asparagus, or chicory accompany the lamb. A popular dessert is pastiera napolitana, a creamy, sweet cake from Naples. Other Italian Holidays: Italy celebrates several non-religious holidays, such as Liberation Day and Festa della Repubblica. Religious holidays like Ognissanti on November 1st involves eating Pane de Morti (bread of the dead). New Year's Eve (Capodanno) is a religious holiday focused on symbolic foods for luck and prosperity. Old school Italians eat 12 grapes at midnight for luck in each month of the year. Epifania (Epiphany) on January 6th, marks the end of the Christmas season and includes a fun tradition with La Befana, a kind witch who brings treats. Celebrations for La Befana include a regatta in Venice and a national festival in Urbania Planning Your Trip: Experiencing Italian holidays offers a chance to enjoy different cultural traditions and foods. Agriturismos or small family-run hotels are ideal for experiencing traditional holiday meals. Join us in this episode as we uncover the true essence of Italian holiday traditions, providing a realistic and enriching perspective on what to expect and enjoy.

Celebrations are underway at TMG headquarters, and we gather round to recognize the milestone of reaching 1 million social media ad spend across all of our hotel partners! This achievement would not have been possible without the continued support and trust of our partners, and their unwavering commitment to creating compelling stories and digital content for travelers, as well as fostering genuine connections with hotel guests. In this special celebratory Suite Spot episode, Travel Media Group's Chief Technology Officer, Jason Lee, and Product Manager - Social Media, Brian Ross, both join the podcast to discuss the incredible accomplishment and what it means for TMG and our wonderful hotel partners. nbsp; Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree. We are here back, we've been on the road, we've been visiting and hosting people on the Suite Spot virtually, but we are back here at the Suite Spot Podcast studio with a very familiar guest, Jason Lee, Chief Technology Officer, who we're gonna have on in a second. Then we're gonna be visiting with Brian Ross, our product manager, social media, to celebrate this incredible milestone. Jason, welcome back to the Suite Spot. Thanks. Yeah, glad to finally be back. Yeah, we're excited to have you, celebrating a milestone today. A million dollars in ad spend for our hotel partners. Again, you know, with Travel Media Group, we work exclusively with hotels. Let's first, you know, off the bat, huge accomplishment milestone. What does this mean to hear you kind of hearing this being there since the very beginning of this solution all those years back? Jason Lee: Yeah. It's exciting. Obviously it is when you think about it in the increments that we boost posts at, it's a lot of posts. Yeah. It's a lot of posts for a lot of hotels. A lot of weeks of content. So just extremely proud of what it has produced for our hotels. But also for our amazing social media team that creates such engaging content and makes boost able and ad worthy content. Ryan Embree: Well, and that's the important part because, you know, obviously a million dollars is a big number. But you don't need necessarily a million dollars to run an effective ad campaign, and that's what you were kind of talking about. With the small increments. Talk to us a little bit about that, because I do feel like sometimes hoteliers, rightly so, are intimidated with something like social media ad spend. They don't really know where, you know, 'cause you can boost a post for as low as $5 all the way up to, thousands of dollars. And they're still going to spend your money in one way or another. So kind of talk through that process because effectiveness is really the key to the game there. Jason Lee: No, absolutely. And I think it gets into how you create content. What is the cadence of that content? How often do I do it? But then it also gets into what am I trying to do? So you can create content and not boost it or put ads any kinda ad spend behind it at all. And you're going to have that content on your page. You're gonna reach out, your community is gonna see it if if they have that, you know, alerts or whatever set up for you. But what boosting does is it allows you to reach this audience that is not inside of your sphere. So it allows them to be able to see these posts, but even more importantly, it allows them to engage with these posts. So if they engage with them, now you kind of have them in the algorithm. Now, now you've got 'em a little bit. Right. There's future state with these, uh, guests. But, but we're talking about $5 increments. So for this very small amount of money, you're talking about 10 to 30 x on reach and engagement. And, and that is incredible. Uh, and especially because it's sort of like builds on its...

Earlier this week, a video purportedly showing a group of people offering namaz at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru ignited a political controversy in Karnataka, with the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party taking exception to the incident and demanding accountability from the State government. Around the same time, in Uttar Pradesh, the police began removing unauthorised sound systems from mosques and temples in some areas. In India, it is common to see Navratri celebrations at the airport, namaz on railway platforms, commemoration of Sikh Gurus' Jayanti on the roads of Delhi, hear azaan on a loudspeaker five times a day, and jagrans all night long. India is undeniably demonstrative about religion in public space. Should public celebrations or expression of devotion be avoided? Here we discuss the question. Guests: Tanika Sarkar, Professor of History at JNU and Sanjay Hegde, Senior Advocate designated by the Supreme Court of India. Host: Ziya Us Salam Learn more about your ad choices.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo dominated headlines again over the past few days as he led Al Nassr to a 3-1 victory over Neom in the Saudi Pro League on November 8. The Portuguese star scored in that match, pushing his official career tally to a breathtaking 953 goals. WorldSoccerTalk reports that after hitting the net, Ronaldo took to social media to inspire fans with a simple four-word message: ‘Work hard, stay humble,' emphasizing his enduring drive and humility despite his legendary status.Celebrations ran deep on and off the pitch. Ronaldo was seen taking a special photo with a young fan in the stands, a gesture that quickly became a viral moment on YouTube. Social media erupted with praise for his performance, and Sportskeeda highlighted his own message of gratitude posted to fans, showing that, despite the years and all the attention, he remains keenly connected with his global audience.In a revealing interview aired this week, Ronaldo spoke to Piers Morgan on the 'UR.Cristiano' YouTube channel—and it drew plenty of buzz. He opened up about life in Saudi Arabia, describing the country as a “lovely” place for his family and confirming just how comfortable and settled he is in the Gulf. He did admit, however, that the “traffic is terrible,” revealing to Morgan with a laugh the one thing about Saudi living he truly dislikes, but quickly clarified that outside busy hours, things are just fine. More notably, Ronaldo also casually confirmed what few athletes in world history can claim: he became a billionaire “many years ago,” brushing off financial questions and emphasizing that money is “no longer important.”There was yet another round of speculation and typical controversy as fan posts and football blogs picked up on footage of Ronaldo passionately arguing with referees during matches—a now-routine sight that keeps fans and critics talking, according to Tribuna.No new major business ventures or partnerships have been confirmed in the past few days, and Ronaldo's long-term deal with Al Nassr, inked earlier this summer through 2027, remains one of the sport's most lucrative. Rumors swirl, as always, about his future ambitions, but the player himself made it clear in conversation that his sights are set on one final legendary achievement: lifting the 2026 World Cup with Portugal.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In June 2022, Prince Andrew was conspicuously absent from the public procession of the Order of the Garter Day ceremony at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, despite being a member of the order. It was revealed that this omission was due to a so-called “family decision” — reportedly influenced by Prince Charles and Prince William — aimed at avoiding potential public backlash given Andrew's reputation at the time. His name still appeared in one version of the printed Order of Service but was omitted from the version distributed to the public.This exclusion drew criticism as a clear sign of his fall from favour within the royal family and the institution. While he did attend the private lunch and investiture portions of the ceremony, his absence from the public procession suggested a deliberate effort to sideline him in high-profile royal events, symbolising both the damage to his standing and the monarchy's need to preserve its public image amidst territorial scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
