Bernie Maloney: From Permission-Seeking to Forgiveness-Begging—Agile Team Evolution in Self-Management Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Bernie defines success for Scrum Masters as creating teams that can thrive and do their best work independently. His ultimate goal is to make himself unnecessary - developing self-directing teams that step out of waiting for direction and instead seek permission or even beg forgiveness when needed. Using the "Circles and Soup" framework, Bernie helps teams stretch their circles of influence and control. He recognizes that every manager wants teams to succeed but may lack the necessary tools, making it crucial for Scrum Masters to coach managers as well. Bernie recommends building a backlog of organizational impediments and focusing on the top priority that will move the ball forward most effectively. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Bernie champions the Sailboat retrospective format for its simplicity and adaptability. While the basic format is straightforward, he appreciates that you can add layers of complexity as needed. Bernie tends to keep retrospectives simple and also mentions the "What the Duck?" technique as another valuable retrospective tool. He suggests incorporating creative elements like having people build LEGO representations of what they're discussing, which helps teams visualize and engage with concepts more effectively. To know more about LEGO Serious Play, check out the Serious Play book. In this segment, we also refer to Dissociation in Psychology, which helps with "third position" coaching/thinking, and Bernie's video on creative retrospective formats. Self-reflection Question: How are you measuring whether your teams are becoming more self-directing, and what specific behaviors indicate they're ready to operate with less guidance?

In this final episode of the mindful leadership series, Tracy Cherpeski explores how internal work creates expanding ripples of success. Following up with Dr. Sarah and Dr. Marcus years after their initial work, we see how their practices have become magnetic centers that naturally attract resources, talent, and opportunities. This episode reveals the five ripple zones that create sustainable competitive advantage and shows how mindful leadership becomes a powerful business strategy. Key Highlights How Dr. Sarah now takes three-week unplugged vacations while her team runs seamlessly Marcus's referral systems that are "crushing it" while he focuses on strategic growth The five ripple zones that create magnetic pull in healthcare practices Why pushing for success creates resistance while magnetic leadership creates flow How internal work compounds into external competitive advantages over time Memorable Quotes "The most profitable practices aren't just well-run businesses – they're energy centers that attract everything they need to thrive." "When you're pushing, you're working against resistance. When you're magnetic, resources flow toward you effortlessly." "Your mindful leadership isn't just personal development; it's business strategy." "The question isn't whether you're capable of this level of success – the question is whether you're ready to begin." This episode demonstrates that sustainable practice success flows from the inside out, showing how two different practitioners used the same framework to create practices that continue thriving and expanding their influence years later.

In this conversation, Marcus Du Sautoy explores the intricate relationship between mathematics and various forms of art, including music, literature, and visual arts. He discusses how mathematical concepts such as prime numbers, symmetry, and randomness influence creative processes and artistic expressions. Through examples from renowned artists like Shakespeare and Dali, Du Sautoy illustrates how mathematics serves as a blueprint for understanding and creating art, while also emphasizing the emotional and aesthetic dimensions of both fields.Takeaways Mathematics and art are deeply interconnected. The circle is fundamental to both mathematics and nature. Prime numbers are essential building blocks in mathematics. Music often employs mathematical structures for creativity. Shakespeare used prime numbers to disrupt rhythm. Symmetry plays a crucial role in both art and mathematics. Dali's work reflects his fascination with scientific ideas. Theatre allows for abstract exploration of mathematical concepts. Ambiguity is embraced in art but avoided in mathematics. Randomness can lead to unexpected creative outcomes.Chapters 00:00 Blueprints of Mathematics and Art 02:35 Defining Creativity and Its Interplay 04:24 Mathematicians as Collaborators with Artists 07:17 The Fractal Nature of Jackson Pollock's Art 12:54 The Significance of Circles in Mathematics 16:31 Exploring the Mystery of Prime Numbers 19:52 The Role of Primes in Music Composition 28:01 Mathematics and the Structure of Music 29:00 The Mathematical Foundations of Music 31:50 Art and Mathematics: Dali's Exploration 38:56 Theatrical Structures and Mathematical Concepts 43:46 The Distinct Narratives of Numbers and Art 48:07 Symmetry and Randomness: Blueprints of Creativity 58:49 Exploring Creativity Through MathematicsFollow Professor du Sautoy on Twitter, BlueSky, and find his new book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

[Joshua 5:13-14] When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, "Are you friend or foe?" [14] "Neither one," he replied. "I am the commander of the LORD's army." At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. "I am at your command," Joshua said. "What do you want your servant to do?"Sometimes we need to be ___________________ before we can be ___________________.[Isaiah 55:8-9] "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. [9] For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.God doesn't join our ___________________, He invites us to join ___________________.[Joshua 6:3-5] You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days. [4] Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram's horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns. [5] When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams' horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse, and the people can charge straight into the town."The path to the ___________________ always begins with ___________________.[Hebrews 10:36] Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.Faith means marching even when ___________________ is moving.[Joshua 6:20] When the people heard the sound of the rams' horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it.The God who calls you to ___________________ is the God who brings the walls ___________________.[Joshua 1:9] This is my command--be strong and courageous!

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Bonnie Garmus, spoke to me about the evolution of her craft, how her protagonist changed her life, getting blurbed by Stephen King, and the never-ending book tour for her lauded debut LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY. Bonnie Garmus is a copywriter, creative director, and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel, Lessons in Chemistry, named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, and Newsweek. The book introduced the main character, “Elizabeth Zott, a headstrong, gifted chemist in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show.” BuzzFeed wrote of the book, “A kicky debut, this book tackles feminism, resilience, and rationalism in a fun and refreshing way.” And Stephen King called it, “witty, sometimes hilarious…the Catch-22 of early feminism.” [Discover The Writer Files Extra: Get 'The Writer Files' Podcast Delivered Straight to Your Inbox at writerfiles.fm] [If you're a fan of The Writer Files, please click FOLLOW to automatically see new interviews.

In honor of the recent passing of the eco-philosopher, Buddhist scholar, and dear friend Joanna Macy, we return to our interview with her from 2018. In this conversation, she traces the ways a life-long heart connection with the living world cultivated a resounding ecological awareness within her work and spirituality; and explores how we might return to an “ecological self” as a way to be of service amid the climate catastrophe. Joanna was also a seminal translator of Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, finding his contemplations on the entwinement of grief, beauty, and spiritual life deeply resonant. You can hear Joanna recite, alongside Anita Burrows, a selection of their translations in our audio story Be Earth Now. Read the interview transcript. Photo by Adam Loften.

Welcome to The Circle of Hope Podcast! I'm Valerie Hope, and in this episode, I sit down with the creative dynamo Jeanne Lambin—facilitator, coach, storyteller, and connector. Together, we explore the art (and the heart) of building real community, showing up for each other without judgment, and crafting spaces where creativity, kindness, and meaningful connection can thrive.We talk about everything from tackling inner criticism, to “The Something” (a unique community writing group!), to what it means to truly repair relationships and nurture your inner and outer circle. Whether your “circle” is one trusted friend or a roomful of collaborators, this episode will inspire you to approach connection with more intention, gentleness, and maybe even a little improv.Watch This If:You're over surface-level small talk, and crave spaces where you can truly show upYou want practical tips for facilitating genuine group experiencesYou're battling inner judgment and need new models for self-kindness and supportYou dream of leading creative circles, workshops, or storytelling groupsYou want to UPLEVEL your “circle of hope” for more satisfying, reciprocal relationshipsKey Moments:00:00 – Jeanne and Valerie's origin story & why names matter! 02:30 – Building safe, creative spaces: What is “The Something?” 04:54 – Bypassing inner judgment: How groups normalize our challenges 09:46 – Coaching that's kind vs. coaching that's firm—finding the balance 13:33 – Friendships, feedback, and learning to be a “collaborative challenger” 21:16 – What does it mean to “repair” a conversation or relationship? 29:30 – Presence over agenda: The power of pausing, improv, and reading the room 37:38 – Curating your circle: Who feeds your spirit vs. who drains you? 49:06 – What's working and not working in connecting with others today 54:55 – Permission, time, and the challenge of asking for what you really need 59:25 – Understanding status — supporting each other without “lording” over 1:12:26 – Why the REAL work of connection always starts with self-awarenessQuotes to Remember:“One of the first rules of engagement is showing up.”“The idea is just to create a safe, supported space. There's no sharing of the work. There's no critique. It's just: Write whatever you're going to write.”“To meet your process without judgment, and be there for others to do the same.”“Listening trumps schedule or agenda.”“When you know what you need, you're more apt to find the person who can fulfill that need.”“How do you want me to listen?”“If we can sit with our thoughts, you can't change or transform what you don't notice.”“Self-absorbed isn't the same as self-aware. Circles of connection also exist inside ourselves.”What You'll Learn:How to build creative, judgment-free spaces that foster real connection (and productivity!)Strategies to manage your inner critic—through facilitation, coaching, and peer supportThe art of balancing kindness and directness when guiding othersTechniques from improv and storytelling for better group engagementWhy pausing and adapting are the facilitator's secret strengthsHow to nurture (and prune) your circle with reciprocity, honesty, and careFresh ways to ask for what you need and support others in your communityThe role of “status” in group dynamics—and how to build truly collaborative teamsContact Info:Guest: Jeanne LambinWebsite: https://www.thehumanimaginationproject.com/Website: http://jeannelambin.medium.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeannelambin/LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanne-m-lambin/Host: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #MeaningfulConnections #Community

Jesus ran in circles, taught in circles, led circles, and deployed circles—small groups that is. Specifically a group of 12 men. He valued connecting in circles and we should too. And if we are going to do the things he calls us to do like love one another, encourage one another, and forgive one another, it is going to happen in circles. So, join a circle (small group) today at Redemption.

Send us a textIn this episode, I dive into several explosive stories starting with Ghislaine Maxwell's recent DOJ interview about Jeffrey Epstein's death in prison and why I think her response keeps everyone safe while deflecting from the real client list - which leads me to break down every single person circled in Epstein's black book and what their connections might mean. Then I shift to a massive tea dump on RHOA Real Housewives of Atlanta season 17 (filming now), covering NeNe Leakes setting the record straight about comeback rumors, Kim Zolciak-Biermann's custody battle with Kroy and how she's affording her new rental, the cast shakeups including new addition K. Michelle and her scandalous backstory, plus Drew Sidora's upcoming sci-fi thriller premiere being filmed for the show. I also expose the messy financial reality behind Porsha Williams' divorce settlement with Simon Guobadia and that strategic attorney's lien, then break down Kelli Ferrell's ex-husband Chuvalo Mark Ferrell's explosive interview with Tasha K where he tells his side of their business dispute that paints a very different picture of who really built and lost Nana's Chicken and Waffles. I take you through the receipts. Finally, I investigate the bombshell $50 million lawsuit filed in 2025 against Priscilla Presley with horrific allegations about Lisa Marie Presley's death, but after digging deep into the accusers' Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko's backgrounds, I uncover why this might be the ultimate elder abuse shakedown scheme.Link to Black book with circles: https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/1508273-jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book-redacted/TIME CODES:0:00 - Intro/Opening0:32 - Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Interview About Epstein's Death6:38 - Epstein Black Book Deep Dive - Every Circled Name Revealed13:18 - RHOA Season 17 Tea Dump Begins14:45 - Drew Sidora vs Shamea Morton Purse Drama Aftermath16:13 - NeNe Leakes Sets Record Straight on Comeback Rumors17:44 - Kim Zolciak-Biermann Custody Battle with Kroy22:07 - Drew Sidora's Sci-Fi Movie Premiere Filming23:44 - K.

What happens when we get closer to Jesus? What happens when we go from the “Crowd” to the “Core”? The closer we get to Jesus, the more we experience his power, revel in his glory, and participate in his plan for our lives! Jesus didn't use the crowd to change the world, but those who were CLOSEST to him. And he's not just calling a few to be close to him, but all of us. Ultimately, only a few will say yes. How can we take that bold step of faith to follow his call?

In this special episode of The Motherwhelm, I am joined by two deeply compassionate and knowledgeable guests, Ali Heppell and Bronte Taylor.Ali is a mother of two, a postpartum doula, matrescence educator, motherhood studies practitioner, and women's circle facilitator. Her work centres around helping mothers reconnect with their stories, their needs, and their sense of self in the postpartum space.Bronte is a mother of one, an accredited mental health social worker, a motherhood studies practitioner, and a skilled EMDR and Schema therapist. She also facilitates group work supporting mothers in their healing journeys.Together, Ali and Bronte bring a unique, trauma-informed approach that weaves together the mind, body, and heart. They support mothers in making sense of their birth experiences, understanding how those moments shape identity and relationships, and navigating the emotional and physical imprints of trauma.In this conversation, we explore what birth trauma really is and how it can show up in ways that are often missed or misunderstood. We also talk about the cultural silence around maternal pain, what true healing can look like, and how we can better support mothers - not just in crisis, but in their everyday lives.Whether you're a mother, a birth worker, or someone who simply wants to understand these conversations more deeply, this episode offers insight, compassion, and, above all, a sense of permission to honour what's real.You can find Ali and Bronte on Instagram:@aliheppell_mothercare @bronte_heartfelttherapy
A one year course for students of the occult in their quest for wisdom, revelation and enlightenment.In the third volume of his popular series of textbooks for students of the Western mystery tradition, John Michael Greer conducts training for a self-taught course for students to advance to the third degree of the Golden Section Fellowship.Building on the lessons and meditations of The Way of the Golden Section and The Way of the Four Elements, Greer presents an accessible guide for students to comprehend and access more of their own inner capabilities, bringing them closer to – and allowing them to experience for themselves – the transcendent spiritual realities at the heart of things.Drawing on teachings from the Universal Gnostic Church, American occult teachings, and temple tradition, The Way of the Secret Temple is divided into seven circles of studies and practices, each taking at least a month to complete. Students embarking on this course will become proficient in working with sacred geometry in temple design, using palm centres to heal and bless, fulfilling the duties of each of the five minor orders of the Universal Gnostic Church, and will develop their skills of communing with the spirits of the elements – as well as much more!The Way of the Secret Temple is the third step for students of the occult to continue developing and honing the skills essential for a magical education.John Michael Greer is the award-winning author of more than fifty books, including The New Encyclopedia of the Occult, The Druidry Handbook, The Celtic Golden Dawn and Circles of Power: An Introduction to Hermetic Magic. An initiate in Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Martinist Order, and three Druid traditions, Greer served as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) for twelve years. He is also the author of seventeen fantasy and science fiction novels and ten nonfiction books on peak oil and the future of industrial society. He lives in Rhode Island and blogs weekly on politics, magic, and the future at www.ecosophia.net.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Close your eyes and breathe. Parashat Re'eh dreams: “There shall be no needy among you.” The Talmud (Shabbat 54b) teaches: we are responsible for wrongs in our household, our town, our nation, our world. Begin with your heart: feel compassion arising within you. Extend it to your household—family, loved ones—asking, how might I help create a home without lack? Widen to your community—neighbors, coworkers, strangers—how can I help relieve need? Broaden to the nation, holding the Torah's vision of a society without poverty. Finally, imagine the whole world, billions of lives, precious and beloved. Each circle calls for your care. Each breath strengthens your responsibility. May your compassion ripple outward, helping to bring the Torah's promise closer to reality.

This is an interesting AI led discussion of my post, "Running In Circles." It's one of the more intriguing discussions I've listened to---and I wonder about their introduction of the "dark funnel." Sound a little like the sales version of the dark web. Enjoy! Here is the link to the original post: https://partnersinexcellenceblog.com/running-in-circles-2-3-4/

Connected people are fruitful people. We're called into a life of CONNECTION! Community is where you GATHER, Commitment is when you GO, Connection is HOW you GROW What type of commitment does Jesus truly call us to as followers? Why does it sometimes feel like we are not growing, even if we say we are believers? Our connection is meant to be twofold: First and foremost to Christ, but also to other believers!

It's about time Jade Miles takes the mic so we can pick her brain and her heart about ‘huddling' for the future of all! We chat about what is our ecological work to do, our soul work to do as we come together in all kinds of communities.We decolonise our minds by moving into our hearts: away from extraction and spectacle, toward opulence of the ordinary- soil under nails, soup shared warm, shared conversations around a fire, singing songs as ritual. We name the practices that bind us: huddle, muddle, cuddle- messy, tender, and profoundly effective.Jade's new book, Huddle, is a field guide for this future: small circles doing big things. Gather often. Trade skills. Move through initiation. Tell truer stories. Let the elders speak. Listen deeply. Make a ritual. Define your enoughness. In a time that worships scale, choose closeness. In a culture that fears the muddle, trust in the huddles!.Because the way we will change the planet is not by shouting across the void but by huddling in, shoulder-to-shoulder, until courage becomes contagious and care becomes the norm.Links You'll LoveIf Women Rose Rooted - Sharon Blackie -- DuckworthPod Partners Rock: Australian Medicinal Herbs Code: Future5Support the ShowCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Book - Futuresteading - live like tomorrow matters, Huddle - creating a tomorrow of togethernessWe talked aboutHuddling is about coming together in community.Human interactions can be complex due to trauma and ego.Rituals help fill the gaps in our lives.Understanding our phases of life can guide our growth.Eldership and wisdom sharing.Ancestral connections can deepen our sense of belonging.Enoughness is crucial in a consumer-driven world.We must be mindful of our impact on future generations.Being heart-led creates a different world.Loved this?

In this episode I explore how Stoic principles apply to the controversial and often emotionally charged topic of immigration. Using the Circles of Concern as a framework, I examine why Stoics must care for all members of the Cosmopolis, even when cultural differences challenge us. I also break down why preserving culture “at all costs” is un-Stoic, and how moral reasoning—not fear, nationalism, or rigid legality—should guide immigration policy and enforcement. Real-world examples, from COVID-era mask debates to refugee scenarios, help illustrate how Stoic justice differs from legal justice and why discernment is essential. Key takeaways from this episode include: Stoicism calls us to care for everyone in the Cosmopolis, even when differences exist, but requires reasoned discernment about how to act in distant circles of concern Preserving culture “at all costs” is not Stoic; the only pursuit worth that cost is perfect moral knowledge Stoic justice is based on moral reasoning and context, not on strict adherence to law or partisan ideology For an ad-free version of this podcast please visit https://stoicismpod.com/members For links to other valuable Stoic things, please visit https://links.stoicismpod.com If you'd like to provide feedback on this episode, or have question, you may do so as a member.

Community has a seat in the row; The committed have a role in the MISSION! Jesus loves the crowd, but he changes us in the community. And once you're part of the community, you're called to step into your role in the mission. What is the mission? It's always seeking after those who are lost and don't have a relationship with Jesus. Going from the community to the committed is uncomfortable, but the more we step into obedience, the more discomfort we experience…the more your life will change — for the better. And those around you! Community GATHERS, but commitment GOES!
