Welcome Questions – Treat them as a sign of engagement, not challenge. Smile, thank the person, and show openness. Pause Before Responding – Take a beat to think. It signals confidence and helps you avoid rambling. Clarify if Needed – If a question is unclear, repeat or reframe it: “So you're asking about…” Be Concise and Focused – Give clear, to-the-point answers—don't drift into a second presentation. Bridge Back to Your Key Message – Even if the question is off-track, connect your response to your main theme. Handle Tough Questions Calmly – If you don't know, be honest: “That's a great question—I'll follow up.” Engage the Whole Room – Repeat the question (briefly) so everyone hears, then answer to the audience, not just the asker. Set Boundaries – If time is short, let people know you'll follow up offline for longer discussions.End with a Strong Close after Q&A is over so you wrap it all up in a bow instead of it trailing off, plus you want to remind people what you talked about so it ends with YOUR strong point, not the energy from the last question asked. Some resources for you:Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.com/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

In this episode, Christine coaches Jessica, a multi-passionate entrepreneur who struggles to follow through on her vision. Jessica shares how she often throws herself into new ideas with enthusiasm, only to lose momentum when life shifts or self-doubt creeps in. Although she feels deeply called to help mothers raising children in challenging family systems, she wrestles with limiting beliefs about whether people actually want what she offers. Christine helps Jessica reframe her so-called “career ADHD” as a strength—multi-passionate creativity—and uncovers the deeper fears that keep her from committing fully to her dream. They discuss the power of belief, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how to align her entrepreneurial mindset with truth, love, and service. If you've ever second-guessed your calling, started projects you didn't finish, or doubted whether your work really matters, this coaching session will inspire you to release self-sabotage and step forward with clarity and confidence.   Consider/Ask Yourself Do you start projects with excitement but struggle to finish them? Have you labeled yourself as “scattered” or “inconsistent” instead of seeing your creativity as a gift? Are you holding back from your dream because you fear people won't want what you have to offer? How might changing your beliefs about yourself and your audience shift the results you see?   Key Insights and A-HAs Being multi-passionate isn't a problem—it's part of the entrepreneurial spirit. Our beliefs shape our outcomes: if we believe there's no audience, our energy reflects that. Consistency in creating and sharing builds trust, especially with sensitive topics like parenting and family. Fear of failure often shows up as “not finishing,” but true growth comes from committing fully. Relief, not resistance, signals alignment with truth.   How to Deepen the Work Identify one limiting belief that's draining your momentum. Write down evidence that challenges it. Clarify who your “ideal client” is and create content as if you're speaking directly to them. Reframe social media or marketing as opportunities to build trust rather than chores. Normalize the ups and downs of entrepreneurship—it's part of the journey, not proof you're failing.   Upcoming Event Christine's Women's Retreat A transformational retreat designed to help you release old patterns, reclaim your truth, and radiate love into your life and the world.

In this Pulse of the Practice conversation, Paul Miller unpacks why the best “tax planning season” is all year long—not just Q4. With many firm initiatives already targeting 2026, Paul shares how leading firms translate today's client conversations into concrete capacity, revenue, and staffing plans for the next 12–24 months.Key takeaways:Listen for life‑event signals. Clients rarely say “I need an exit plan.” They hint at transitions—succession, burnout, relocation, health, or market shifts. Train your team to hear those cues and start planning early.Valuation isn't a finish line; it's a starting point. Regularly benchmark the business so owners can align pricing, client mix, and structure with their eventual exit timeline.Make planning continuous. Replace last‑minute Q4 models with a cadence of mini‑check‑ins that combine numbers with narrative: goals for the next 1–5 years, risk tolerance, and capacity constraints—both client and firm‑side.Charge for strategy with confidence. Longstanding relationships don't make advisory “free.” Clarify scope, package outcomes (e.g., exit readiness, tax savings roadmap, sale prep), and communicate the value long before a transaction looms.Redesign roles for impact. Shift staff from “cranking numbers” to managing relationships and discovery. The result: better insights, earlier interventions, and more profitable engagements.Think 2026 now. If 75% of your big projects already point to 2026, formalize forecasts, staffing plans, and pricing updates today.Whether your clients are five years from a sale or just exploring growth options, this episode shows how to move from reactive calculations to proactive advisory—without awkward money talks.Timestamps00:00 Intro and why planning sneaks up on firms03:55 Why 2026 planning starts today06:45 Spotting exit triggers in normal conversations11:15 Numbers vs. life events: bringing both into planning16:15 Pricing advisory in long‑term relationships20:25 When to discuss valuation (and how often)24:20 Turning staff into relationship managersKeywords (primary/secondary/long‑tail) Primary: year‑round tax planning, advisory services for accounting firms, business valuation, exit planning, 2026 firm planning Secondary: CPA firm capacity planning, client discovery, pricing advisory, scope management, relationship management, revenue projections Long‑tail: how to price advisory for long‑term clients, signs a business is ready to sell, continuous tax planning vs Q4, training staff for client advisory, building a 2026 capacity plan

Influencing others at work can often feel like one of the most challenging parts of leadership. Whether it's navigating difficult relationships, persuading colleagues to collaborate, or aligning a team around a new direction, influence is at the heart of how leaders get things done. In this episode, Jean explores what it really means to influence others with respect and integrity.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy influencing is a core leadership skill that extends beyond formal authority.The shift from command-and-control leadership to today's matrixed, collaborative workplaces.A three-step framework for influencing effectively:Clarify your goal – create a vision that inspires, not just a process-focused objective.Understand the current state – stand in the shoes of the person or group you're seeking to influence.Choose the right action – select an influencing strategy that fits the context and respects others.Seven practical strategies for influence, from using logic and data to building relationships, creating impact, bargaining, and even knowing when to (carefully) lean on authority.How to approach influencing as a human skill rooted in empathy, respect, and adaptability.Why This Matters Too often, leaders approach influence by pushing their own agenda. This episode reframes influence as a relational process, one that can reduce sleepless nights, improve collaboration, and help you achieve outcomes while strengthening trust.Takeaway Influence is not about forcing or persuading, it's about listening, connecting, and shaping outcomes in ways that benefit everyone involved. With practice, you can become a more confident and effective influencer, no matter your role. Sign up to my weekly newsletter.

The Three Phases of Sobriety: From Foundation to Lasting Change Sobriety isn't just about putting down the drink—it's about building a life that supports staying sober. In this episode of Sobriety Reset, I broke down the three phases of getting sober: building a foundation, uncovering and discarding old patterns, and creating lasting change. Phase 1: Building a Foundation The first step in sobriety is setting yourself up for success. This begins with looking at your family history and early survival strategies, which often don't serve us well in adulthood. From there, it's about learning new skills: Setting boundaries: Learning what you can and can't tolerate, and teaching others how to treat you. Clarifying your values and goals: Aligning your daily actions with what you truly care about. Preparing your environment: Removing alcohol, stocking healthy snacks (especially protein for willpower), and setting up positive supports like books, podcasts, and tools. Building a sober toolkit: This can include journaling, meditation (even just 12 breaths), supportive community, and strategies for managing emotions. Identifying triggers: Noticing what sparks the urge to drink and creating plans for how to respond. Phase 2: Uncover, Discover, Discard This phase is about doing deeper inner work to clean house. Using journaling, inventories, or therapeutic methods, you uncover resentments, discover the root causes, and discard what's no longer serving you. Make a list of resentments and the specific causes. Notice the patterns—especially how coping strategies like people-pleasing or anxious attachment may actually recreate the very situations you fear. Clarify what's truly your responsibility and what isn't. Get support from a sponsor, coach, or therapist for deeper trauma-related work. Phase 3: Creating Lasting Change Long-term sobriety rests on consistent self-care and connection. It's about turning healthy practices into lifestyle habits. Morning practice: Gratitude lists, journaling, meditation, and movement. Physical self-care: Hydration, regular exercise (start small if needed), nourishing foods. Spiritual practice: Whether it's prayer, meditation, or simply connecting with energy and love, find what sustains your spirit. Community: Surround yourself with sober people. Science shows we adopt the behaviors and beliefs of those closest to us. Sobriety lasts when you layer tools, heal root causes, and stay connected. These three phases give you a roadmap not just to get sober—but to make sobriety stick. Action Items Journal about your family history and early survival strategies. Write down your top 5 values and compare them to how you actually spend your time. Prepare your environment: remove alcohol, stock healthy snacks, and add sober resources. Start a sober toolkit: include journaling, meditation (try 12 breaths), supportive podcasts, and people you can call. Identify your triggers by looking back at your last few drinking episodes. Make a plan for how to respond. Make a resentment list: name the person, the cause, and how it affected you. Get clarity on what's your responsibility and what isn't. Seek professional support for trauma-related issues. Begin a daily gratitude list (5–12 items). Commit to consistent self-care: exercise, hydration, meditation, and journaling. Join or re-engage with a sober community, online or in person.

James D. White, former CEO of Jamba Juice, current board chair, and coauthor of Culture Design, shares how culture becomes a management discipline rather than a slogan. Drawing on his eight-year turnaround of Jamba, service on more than 15 boards, and leadership toolkit, he explains how listening, rituals, and disciplined systems embed values into sustained performance.   Key takeaways: Start with stakeholder listening. White began his turnaround with nearly 200 “start, stop, continue” inputs across employees, suppliers, and board members. “I always start by listening,” he says, because the people inside the company “actually know what's required to make the company run better.” Make culture intentional. “Companies have culture by design or default.” Define what matters, create rituals that reinforce it, and remove practices that contradict stated values. Reduce the say–do gap. “The really important things from a leadership perspective is what we say versus what we do, and minimizing the say–do gap.” Simple rituals—forums, recognition, measurement—align words with actions. Invest in people individually. “People don't care how much you know until they understand how much you care about them personally.” One-on-ones and role design that lean into strengths unlock discretionary effort. Demand transparency. White is direct: “I want bad news first.” Candor allows leaders to respond before problems multiply. Design mechanics, not just rhetoric. From anonymous feedback channels to departmental listening sessions, operating processes must “make it easier for our stores to deliver great products in the most efficient fashion.” Balance preservation and change. Protect what works—“fantastic products” and passionate employees—while reallocating resources. One example was adding steel-cut oatmeal for colder markets, paired with smoothies. Measure what matters. “Anything that matters, you always measure it.” White combines Gallup Q12 surveys, pulse checks, and qualitative indicators like recognition letters to monitor engagement. Clarify board vs. CEO roles. “The CEO is responsible for running the company… the board chair is a facilitator of the collective board.” A strong chair–CEO relationship unburdens management while channeling board expertise. Exit with care. Not every role fits every person: “You often… get to a place where you free up people's future to go do something else. You do it with kindness and grace and thoughtfulness.” For executives facing turnaround, scaling challenges, or governance decisions, this episode offers a tested blueprint: start with listening, design culture deliberately, align actions with words, and lead with humanity.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Texas luxury real estate leader Kirstine Openshaw about what actually moves deals in an oversaturated market. Kirstine strips away the hype—pretty brochures and ad spend don't close; trust, community touchpoints, and pain-point clarity do. She unpacks how living through her sons' congenital heart defect (CHD) journeys reshaped her mindset, why detachment from outcomes accelerates growth, and how to read buyer/seller psychology without manipulation. This is a grounded playbook for agents and founders who want referral-driven businesses, sharper messaging, and resilience when markets turn.   About the Guest  : Kirstine Openshaw is consistently ranked among the top performers in Texas real estate and is an ICON Agent with eXp Realty. A UK-to-Texas transplant, she built a largely referral-based business from zero local sphere. She's also a committed CHD advocate and a self-described “heart-warrior mom.”   Key Takeaways: Relationships beat tactics: Tech, AI, and glossy marketing matter after you earn trust through real community contact. Lead with proximity: Host neighborhood events—garage sales, ice-cream trucks, open houses—to create face-to-face touchpoints that warm any future ads. Pain points drive action: Most buyers/sellers move from discomfort, not dreams; craft offers and messages that solve the present problem first. Mindset is operational, not fluffy: Detach from rigid outcomes; it frees options and surfaces better-fit opportunities. Read the room: Share personal stories after rapport; oversharing too early can trigger doubts about your availability. Market cycles require different skills: In frenzy (low rates), coach clients past zero-sum thinking; in slowdowns, uncover true motivations and affordability limits. Build from belief: Clarify why clients should choose you, then map their top concerns and your specific solutions before buying ads. Process for message-market fit: Whiteboard ICP pain points → your interventions → delivery channel (events, video, door-knocking, social). Focus on flexibility: Goals can and should evolve as your vantage point changes. Play the long game: Earn repeat and referral business to reduce ad spend and stabilize revenue.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.openshawrealtygroup.com/kirstine-openshaw--28dac Social: Find Kirstine Openshaw on major platforms by name (links also on her website).   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this solo episode, Dr. Kevin Christie explores the concept of “priming the pump” and how it applies to building a thriving chiropractic practice. Drawing inspiration from Zig Ziglar's classic metaphor, Dr. Christie explains why consistent effort, strategic planning, and patience are essential for sustainable success. Too often, chiropractors get discouraged when results don't come immediately, but as he reminds us, growth requires steady input before the rewards start to flow.Dr. Christie also introduces his upcoming Free Student Business Workshop in Boca Raton, Florida, on November 22nd. Designed exclusively for chiropractic students, this half-day event will cover practice analytics, content marketing, community outreach, and other essential business skills rarely taught in school.

This super-Piscean Eclipse Season challenges you to listen deeply to your inner knowing and discern reality vs. illusion - in the midst of heightened sensitivity, emotional overwhelm, collective chaos and a mega-dose of MYSTERY.Eclipses are massive turning points, portals into new realities, a shedding of outgrown forms and versions of self… and times when you can feel very much in the dark. The first Eclipse was September 7, and the second - likely more intense - is coming up next Sunday, September 21, just before the Equinox.The Sun and South Node in Virgo can stir up worry, anxiety, an urge to control, and a buttload of mental energy trying to analyze the details and figure out what's going on. This approach will take you nowhere - except into greater confusion and frustration. Instead, the most productive way forward is to embrace the Pisces North Node - tune into your feelings and intuition, trust what you're sensing on a subtle level, and stay focused on the higher vision and bigger picture of your soul's journey. Release what no longer holds energy for you and surrender to the flow of Life.Sounds simple, but not necessarily easy. We've been so conditioned (or traumatized) to stay focused on the external, to look outside ourselves for guidance, to over-rely on our minds, to defer to what seems logical and practical and discount the “little voice” of our soul, the dreams and divine whispers trying to get our attention.If you could use support for tuning into your deeper self, for clarifying what you're ready to release and the big new dream that's getting ready to emerge next year, join Soul Guide Anné (“Anna”) Klint and me for a half-day retreat in Santa Fe on September 27.We'll meet in the aftermath of the Eclipses and Equinox, when we'll likely have A LOT to digest and integrate. Take a conscious time-out, gather with other amazing women in supportive community, and deepen into your inner wisdom and guidance.Join us live on Saturday, September 27, 10am to 3pm for The Saturn-Neptune Conjunction: Dissolve the Past to Define A New Dream. This will be the second retreat in our series - Cosmic Navigation to Inner Guidance. (We'll convene again on November 15 - save the date! Astro-theme TBA.)In this retreat, you will:* Receive expert astro-guidance to see how Saturn and Neptune are activating your personal birth chart;* Clarify your future vision AND the unfinished business that's asking to be resolved;* Through a plant meditation, invite an herbal ally to help you connect with Source and trust in the Mystery;* Practice embodiment through mindful movement and spark your creative expression;* Be deeply seen, heard and held in your sacred humanness.All women are welcome, regardless of prior astro-experience (including beginners).

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit their earlier discussion on “Estimation Essentials” and explore how AI helps sharpen project pricing. The theme is clear: estimation is less about numbers and more about setting expectations. Developers who learn to price with confidence gain credibility, avoid stress, and build long-term client relationships. Why You Must Price With Confidence Estimation impacts far more than budgets. A clear, honest number builds trust and predictability. Vague requirements like “integrate with multiple systems” can't be priced accurately—so instead of guessing, developers must clarify scope. Saying “not enough detail to price this yet” protects both sides from disappointment. Honest estimates strengthen trust. Don't guess—clarify. Common Pitfalls When You Don't Price With Confidence The hosts highlight mistakes that derail projects: Underestimating to win a contract, then burning out. Ignoring hidden costs such as meetings, testing, and documentation. Forgetting risk buffers, leaving no room for the unexpected. Leaning on gut instinct rather than repeatable methods. By failing to price with confidence, developers risk missed deadlines, blown budgets, and damaged reputations. Frameworks to Help You Price With Confidence Rob and Michael recommend proven approaches: Bottom-up estimation – Break work into small tasks. Top-down estimation – Use data from past projects. Three-point estimation – Balance optimistic, pessimistic, and likely outcomes. Risk-first sequencing – Attack uncertain features first. These frameworks bring structure, reduce surprises, and give clients realistic options. Choosing Models That Let You Price With Confidence Pricing isn't just about numbers—it's about risk allocation. Time & Materials (T&M) – Risk stays with the client, who pays for actual work. Fixed Price – Risk shifts to the developer; scope must be crystal clear. Beware hybrid models like “T&M with caps,” which push risk onto developers without fair compensation. The key is aligning incentives so both sides win. MVP Thinking: Another Way to Price With Confidence Defining a minimum viable product (MVP) early protects the project when scope changes or budgets tighten. By locking in must-have features at the start, you can deliver value even if time or resources run short. This approach ensures clients get results and developers maintain credibility. Practical Steps to Price With Confidence Callout: Break tasks down, add a 20–30% buffer, and communicate assumptions. Follow these steps on your next project: Clarify requirements first – No assumptions left unspoken. Break into small tasks – Accurate estimates come from detail. Add buffers – Protect against risk and scope creep. Track actuals vs. estimates – Learn and refine over time. Explain assumptions – Clients trust numbers when they know the “why.” Challenge: Practice Pricing With Confidence Review your last three estimates. Where did you miss hidden costs like testing or meetings? On your next project, add a 25% buffer to that category and track whether accuracy improves. Small tweaks create more reliable pricing habits. Closing Thoughts The path to better client relationships isn't perfect numbers—it's predictable delivery. Developers who price with confidence clarify scope, tackle risks early, and communicate openly. The result? Trust, repeat business, and less stress.

14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.[a] 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: 17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,     and your young men shall see visions,     and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 even on my male servants and female servants     in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. 19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above     and signs on the earth below,     blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; 20 the sun shall be turned to darkness     and the moon to blood,     before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. 21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' 22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus,[b] delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.25 For David says concerning him, “‘I saw the Lord always before me,     for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken; 26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;     my flesh also will dwell in hope. 27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,     or let your Holy One see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the paths of life;     you will make me full of gladness with your presence.' 29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30  Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, 35     until I make your enemies your footstool.”' 36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” 37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

SummaryIn the latest episode of Service Evolution, host Jim Robinson sits down with Josh Foliart, founder of Multiply Global, to discuss the real foundation of leadership and what it takes to be a truly influential leader. From humble beginnings and a desire to be a football coach, Josh shares how mentorship, faith, and pivotal life experiences shaped his journey to launching a global initiative that now supports leaders across eight countries.Josh emphasizes that leadership isn't just about titles or positions, it's about developing trust, having the courage to say yes, and being open to coaching. He notes that many leaders around the world have the drive but lack essential resources and relationships. Multiply Global aims to bridge this gap, journeying long-term with individuals defined by their willingness to be coached and their courage to lead.A key takeaway from the episode is Josh's deep dive into the importance of trust in leadership. He highlights the four Cs—character, chemistry, competency, and credibility—as core ingredients to build meaningful influence.

OA1180 - We begin with some much-needed reminders that good things are still happening and the rule of law is still (mostly) holding on before turning to a recent Trump executive order on homelessness which reads like something out of a (not very good) Batman movie. Jenessa explains how this development fits into the history of long-term institutionalization of vulnerable and unhoused people in the US as we work through what this thing is actually trying to do. In an unfortunately not-at-all-unrelated story, Matt then breaks down the situation with Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” (aka “Gator Gitmo”), the pending challenges to this completely new (and totally illegal) approach to state-based immigration detention, and where this is all going. Finally, in today's footnote: has ChatGPT finally made its first hallucinatory appearance in a judicial opinion? We investigate not just one but two recent instances of federal judges who have now joined the many lawyers caught using AI to do their homework. “Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,” The White House (7/25/25) Complaint in Friends of the Everglades v. Noem, filed 6/27/25 Complaint in C-M. v Noem, filed 7/16/25 Defendants' Unopposed Motion to Clarify in Mississippi Association of Educators et al v.
