This episode is brought to you by the Change Makers Certification Program!  In this solo episode of Even Better, host Sinikka Waugh explores the real impact of excellence and why it's essential to organizational success. Excellence isn't just a lofty ideal—it's a practical, strategic advantage. Customers notice when we go above and beyond, and that level of quality is key to building satisfaction and loyalty. Team members notice too; when mediocrity is tolerated, top performers are more likely to disengage or walk away, making excellence vital to retention and morale. And ultimately, the bottom line feels it—because when excellence slips, so does profitability. Join Sinikka as she unpacks why excellence matters and how it shapes the health and success of the entire organization.   Sinikka Waugh - Connect with me on either LinkedIn or send me an email!

In December, Hammond-Henry Hospital in Geneseo expanded its healthcare services by introducing a new chiropractic practice led by Dr. Owen McConnell, DC, ATC, LAT. Dr. McConnell can treat patients from babies to the elderly.

Anyone interested in scheduling an appointment may call the Geneseo Medical Group at 309-944-1275. He will also accept walk-ins. “I chose chiropractic care because I like the hands-on approach to helping people feel better,” said Dr. McConnell, who uses a variety of techniques but also suggests his patients get muscle work to aid in their healing. “I am committed to providing each patient with exceptional care, offering personalized healthcare solutions tailored to each patients' unique needs.” Dr. McConnell is from Erie, where he resides with his wife and three children. He graduated from Erie High School, Central College, and Palmer College of Chiropractic. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training and has a Doctorate in Chiropractic.

Today's discussion on the podcast is one of depth around the hot topic of NCAA roster limits and how they will fundamentally change the nature of the NCAA forever. In my opinion, there's no better person to have this conversation with than Liberty University's Assistant Track Coach and Meet Director, Mark Fairley. Coach Mark recently written a letter to Congress in hopes of standing before a Federal Judge in April as an advocate for the removal of the NCAA's new proposed changes to roster limits. Coach Mark discusses his involvement and how he has educated his own athletes at Liberty on this issue, getting many to participate and get their voices out there. Coach Mark is a native of Dubuque, Iowa, and has worked his way up the ranks since joining as an interim assistant. Coach Mark found success as an athlete in the world of triathlon, earning his professional racing license in 2019. Coach Mark was a standout athlete at Central College, where he captured the men's steeplechase national title at the 2018 NCAA Division 3 Outdoor Championships as a senior. He has the school record in the steeplechase with a time of 8:57.39. His other PRs include a 4:16.42 in the mile; 8:23 in the 3K and 14:42.67 in the 5K. He was the Central Region Men's XC and Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Year. Coach Mark graduated from Central College with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. He has a Master's Degree in sport management and is working toward a second in biblical studies. In today's conversation, we go through Coach Mark's individual accolades and accomplishments, how he rose in his coaching career, and then tackle the hot topic of roster-limits. He takes me through the 2.8 billion dollar NCAA settlement, revenue-sharing, and roster-limits. We discuss all of this at length and what it means for the next era of the NCAA.

Self-care isn't about pampering or indulgence—it's a fundamental aspect of adulting. It's the conscious choice to prioritize our well-being, so we can show up fully in our work, relationships, and lives.   At the core of self-care is emotional intelligence: the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our emotions. When we are emotionally aware, we can better navigate stress, prevent burnout, and make more thoughtful decisions. Self-care begins with self-awareness—taking time to assess where we are emotionally, physically, and mentally. Once we know where we stand, we can move toward self-management: creating strategies that help us maintain balance, set boundaries, and respond to life's demands in a healthy way.   Self-care also requires us to examine our priorities. What really matters to us, and how do we protect and nurture those values? As adults, it's our responsibility to care for what's most important—not just for others, but for ourselves. When we take care of our own needs, we have the energy, focus, and resilience to show up and do the work that matters, whether it's at home, in our careers, or in our communities.   Tune in for more on how self-care is not about escaping responsibilities, but rather how it's about embracing them fully, with the emotional and physical resources we need to succeed. It's adulting at its finest.

Dear Friends, In this season of Igniting Imagination, we are talking with leaders across disciplines who can help us name the realities of this moment and offer ways to claim the leadership needed to lean into God's call for a more loving world. This week's guest is Dr. Aaron Kuecker, President of Trinity Christian College in Chicago, and I can't wait for you to hear what they are doing on their campus to tend the wellbeing of their students. It is intentional and generous and nothing short of life-changing – from their approach to the funding model to how they are protecting the mid-week “Wellbeing Wednesday.” You can't help but think: What if all campuses were trying similar things? How would this generation be shaped for good? Perhaps we might all be a bit more grounded and generous and less despairing.
