This coming Sunday, December 3, is the first Sunday of Advent and the start of a whole new Church Year. These days leading up to Christmas and beyond can feel overwhelming: spiritually, emotionally, all of it. So, it's tempting to say, Haven't we already done this? What more do I have to learn from these stories? I'm going to sit this one out. Today's guest, Joe Durepos, is a story expert. He's worked in publishing for more the four decades: as a bookseller, a sales rep, a literary agent and an acquisitions editor. He helped launch Fr. Jim Martin's bestselling book, My Life with the Saints, and Mother Teresa's No Greater Love. He's worked with countless other incredible authors, including Becky Eldredge, Fr. Richard Rohr, Chris Lowney, Joy Loverde and many more. He retired from Loyola Press in 2018 and was inducted into the Association of Catholic Publishers Hall of Fame in 2019. Now, he spends his time coaching writers through his own agency, Durepos Literary. But Joe doesn't just read and edit authors; he's an author himself. And his new work, 2024: A Book of Grace-Filled Days, is the antidote we need to the complacency we might find ourselves in during this season of Advent. Joe shares with us what it was like to prayerfully write a whole year's worth of reflections, what he learned for his own spiritual life and what we might learn, too, as a result. Today, as you listen to Joe share about his own prayer journey, I invite you to consider your own. What might you add during these Advent days? How might the Spirit be inviting you to prepare anew for the coming of Christ? One suggestion: Sign up for our daily Advent reflections. Just head over to Jesuits.org/advent. And while you're cruising around the internet, pick up a copy of Joe's book—I've linked to it in the episode description, as well as info on Durepos Literary. Just a note on today's episode: We recorded last week, November 21, so when Joe mentions the readings of the day, that's the day in question.

What is heroic leadership, and why is it important in this pandemic? Martin speaks with Chris Lowney, best selling author and board vice chairman for one of the largest healthcare systems, CommonSpirit Health.
Mission centered leadership is the topic of conversation in the second half of Martin's interview with Chris Lowney, best selling author and board vice chairman for one of the largest healthcare systems, CommonSpirit Health.
Tom Robertson, Executive Director of the Vizient Research Institute and Mark Keroack, MD, CEO of Baystate Health, pick up on a theme introduced in episode one and consider the frequency with which traditional financing is misaligned with the best interests of the patient. They then discuss the interpersonal dynamics involved in leading a complex health care organization. Mark describes the importance of respect, particularly when viewpoints differ. The session closes with an inspiring bit of history that you won't want to miss. Guest speaker: Mark A. Keroack, MD, MPH President and CEO Baystate Health Moderator: Tom Robertson Executive Director Vizient Research Institute Show Notes: [02:24] Guaranteeing some kind of basic set of health care delivery, I think, would have a lot of promise. [04:37] Baystate Health is the tertiary care provider for a million people. [06:53] We ran the S-curve analysis at Baystate in the third month I was here, and people's jaws dropped [07:22] If 90% of your margin comes from 15% of your patients, you want to accept transfers of referral-based surgeries and very sick people in ICUs. [08:15] For the Medicaid patients, you want to take risks on them to keep them out of the hospital because you're going to lose money on every case. They need to be healthy and at home. [11:00] Health care is an irrational system where your instincts about doing the best for patients will often cause you to lose money, and your instincts of containing care in order to make a margin, may actually cause you to do things that might not be in the best interests of the patients. [11:30] Baystate Health has a physician leadership academy to teach physician leaders the business of health care: budgets, working in teams, strategy and how to do a business plan. They are really committed leaders who care about the institution. [12:32] To work in a large, complex academic medical center, you need to be willing to try to understand where other people are coming from and put yourselves in their shoes. [12:32] Book recommendation: “Heroic Leadership” by Chris Lowney. It is a history of the Jesuit order and a biography of St. Ignatius of Loyola. [13:40] St. Ignatius of Loyola had four key cornerstones to his culture: 1. A sense of self-awareness; 2. He highly prized ingenious, ingenuity and creativity; 3. Heroic ambitions and 4. “You need to see “God's love in every living thing” [14:45] When someone is diametrically opposed to your point of view, rather than write them off as clueless, try to understand why this smart person might think differently. Even if you end up disagreeing with them, they will end up feeling respected. Links | Resources: Mark A. Keroack biographical information Click here Subscribe Today!

But if you are expecting 3 guests, I have to tell you, there’s only one. His name: Chris Lowney.Chris has a unique story: He entered a Jesuit seminary after highschool and spent 7 years studying to become a priest, but then left the seminary and went on to an incredibly successful career as an investment banker at JP Morgan, and now is a best-selling author of Heroic Leadership and other books and a world-renowned speaker.While Chris’ journey may be out of the ordinary, it does embody a key trait of all innovators: the ability to take lessons from different industries and experiences and apply them in new ways to your current pursuit.We cover a wide range of topics and Chris shares his tremendous insight on both life and some of his keys to success. Including this advice:“People are better than we give them credit for and they are better than they think they are. If you give them a chance and some belief, they will outperform. Create an environment where people feel like they have a chance and know that you believe they can do it.”You can follow the podcast and host Chuck Swoboda on Twitter for further exploration and discussion on innovation.The episode is also available wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Deze aflevering van Tegenspraak gaat over de woorden van Jorge Mario Bergoglio, oftewel paus Franciscus. Sinds hij in 2013 werd gekozen tot paus, is Franciscus populair vanwege zijn persoonlijke, eenvoudige en directe woorden. De bronnen van die houding vinden we in 3 sleutelmomenten in zijn leven: tijdens de 'vuile oorlog' in Argentinië in de jaren '70, tijdens zijn 'ballingschap' na een periode van controversieel leiderschap en in zijn houding op de drempel van het Vaticaan. Wil je weten over het leiderschap en van Franciscus? Chris Lowney schreef het boek 'Pope Francis: why he leads the way he leads' en Paul Vallely dook in het leven van Jorge Mario Bergoglio in de biografie 'Pope Francis: untying the knots'. En natuurlijk geeft de film The Two Popes (overal te zien op Netflix) een mooi inkijkje in de dilemma's uit het leven van Bergoglio. Tegenspraak is een podcast over de kracht van woorden. Met verhalen over leiders en sprekers die de moed hadden om tegen de stroom in te gaan. Gemaakt door Jan Sonneveld (https://byspeech.nl). Met dank aan Nikolaas Sintobin SJ en Rick Timmermans. Muziek: Unicorn Head - Beach Walk (Youtube Audio Library) en Het Goede Doel - Alles draait om de eenvoud (citaat via Youtube)
