Kelly Fink, general manager of Milesbrand, and Courtney Stewart, VP of client relations at Denim Marketing, join host Carol Morgan to discuss the 2025 International Builders' Show (IBS) on this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Fink and Stewart discuss what most excites them about IBS and what topics they hope are discussed during sessions at the event. Connections – Old and New IBS is not only the largest annual light construction show in the world, but also a chance for home builders, suppliers, agents, marketers and other real estate leaders to get together and foster connections. Fink is most excited to see some of Milesbrand's clients in person at The Nationals awards and meet with her fellow trustees on the National Sales and Marketing Council. Topics to Look for at IBS 2025 There are many highly anticipated topics for IBS 2025, from use of AI and data for marketing to housing affordability and how builders are constructing homes in response to recent natural disasters. Stewart said, “I think one of the conversations that we have a lot, that I am expecting people to talk about on the education side, is how to reach the right audience for your communities, your homes, and then how to convince them to buy despite the market conditions.” Fink, along with Lisa Welter of JTB Homes and Carol Morgan of Denim Marketing, will be discussing strategies for brand growth during the “Building an Impactful Brand: Beyond Colors and Logos” session. Fink's portion of the session focuses on branding strategies for master-planned communities. From the Great Recession to COVID-19 pandemic, master-planned communities must be able switch branding focus to adapt to economic challenges. Welter will discuss how her company differentiates its two brands and Morgan discusses how to make social media branding stand out. “So, the topic, is ‘Beyond Logos and Colors.'” said Fink. “You know, really understanding more about why it's so important to build an effective brand and invest in that for long term success.” Morgan will also be presenting in the Jam (b) session: “Do This, Not That: What Homebuilder Marketing Experts Really Want Builders to Do.” This fast paced session also features Greg Bray with Blue Tangerine, Barbara Wray with Wick Marketing and Dennis O'Neil with ONeil Interactive Inc., this session will highlight best practices for digital marketing in the housing industry. Brand Identity and Common Mistakes Builders Make Stewart and Fink also share some of their best tips for establishing a brand identity and how to avoid making common mistakes that drive away customers. Cohesive messaging: It's important to create a personality for your brand and stick to it! Whether that's with a new brand kit or editing photos for social media, there are many ways to take your branding to the next level with consistency. Unique brand DNA: If you were to remove the name and logo off two builder websites, would you know the difference? Identity begins with individuality, which is what Fink is trying to communicate to clients. Fink said, “If you're not aligned, you're not going to create the same experience for each buyer.” Use a CRM: Data is everything when it comes to digital marketing. It is important for builders to understand their buyers and follow the buyer's journeys through the site, social media and email campaigns. “It helps us to be able to track what's happening and get better data that ties in, you know, with your website data, with the online data that we can see on social,” said Stewart. “All of those different things, and being able to follow that, your buyer journey, through to the CRM and what happens is so important.” They also mention the importance of visual strategy with quality photography and decorated models at communities, as well as regularly updating your website and social media. “That's the first thing people usually come to gather information about you,
Hey friend! Have you ever wondered how to make oversized sectionals an intentional part of a room's design or are they always destined to ruin the aesthetic of the room? In today's episode I'm chatting with Kristen, the owner of a large black (very cozy looking) sectional. The sectional, however, takes up considerable space within her room and although black makes sense, she also has a white armchair in the same room.

He emphasizes that autonomy, competition, and the desire to impact the business are key motivators. Understanding these can help CROs better tailor their leadership and incentive structures.Curiosity as a Differentiator: Top-performing salespeople often exhibit a strong sense of curiosity and a willingness to learn. CROs should foster an environment that encourages intellectual engagement and peer learning to enhance team performance.Recognition and Accountability: Building a cohesive sales team involves recognizing contributions from all team members, not just those who close deals. CROs should focus on fostering a culture of inclusivity and accountability, which aligns with company values and encourages collective success.Sales Enablement and Data-Driven Coaching: Effective sales enablement requires moving beyond content overload to live training sessions and leveraging tools like Gong for data-driven coaching. CROs should ensure their teams have access to insights that can improve performance and identify areas for development.Building a Winning Mindset: In challenging market conditions, CROs should inspire their teams by sharing stories of underdogs who have succeeded against the odds. This helps instill confidence and drive, encouraging teams to execute the basics with excellence.Cultural Awareness in Global Leadership: For CROs overseeing international teams, understanding cultural nuances is crucial. Jim's experiences in Japan highlight the importance of cultural sensitivity and the concept of a "leadership shadow" in global contexts.Leveraging Competitive Spirit: Salespeople who thrive often enjoy the challenge of competing against larger, better-branded competitors. CROs can harness this competitive spirit by encouraging strategies that focus on differentiation and value delivery.Balancing Inspirational Leadership with Accountability: Jim emphasizes the need for CROs to balance inspirational leadership with creating a culture of accountability. This involves setting high standards while motivating teams to achieve them through clear, consistent expectations and support.Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NvYWNoMnNjYWxlLWhvdy1tb2Rlcm4tbGVhZGVycy1idWlsZC1hLWNvYWNoaW5nLWN1bHR1cmU Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.

Hey Friend! Welcome to 2025 and a brand new series on the fig & farm (at home) podcast. Every Tuesday I'll be answering listener questions in my new Dear Dani series. Have a question that you want answered? Leave it here: hello@figandfarmathome.com Today's question comes from Amanda who wants to know how to make her home look less disjointed. The 'fancy' word we use in the design world is 'cohesive' and the goal is to do just that, but it takes a bit of work. In this episode I'm sharing 5 quick tips so you can make your home look and feel cohesive when you aren't entirely sure where to start. 5 Easy ways to make your home look cohesive 1. Learn your design style (aka your aesthetic): pay attention to the all the details of the things you gravitate to time and time again. 2. Write those details down. 3. Leave your card at home and go on a field trip to your favorite home decor store. Act as-if you are making selections and see if the things you would choose match with the design elements you noticed in tip 1. If they do...you're on to your aesthetic. If they don't...go back to tip 1 and dive in a bit more. 4. Using your list, go through the items in your home and start decluttering items that don't match that aesthetic or design style, keeping the items that do. 5. Shop your home. Once the extra items are removed, now you have the foundation for shopping your home instead of shopping the store whenever inspiration to re-decorate a room strikes Happy styling!! xo, dani // Links mentioned in show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group

Collaboration is the most significant driver of cohesion in the workplace. It encourages everyone within the organization to give their best efforts and become engaged and attentive to the overall health of the organization. According to a study by Stanford University, teams that work well together are 50% more productive. This statistic underscores the strong connection between effective teamwork and increased productivity. When team members collaborate efficiently, they can complete more tasks and projects in less time. However, the degree of improvement varies based on team dynamics and the nature of the tasks. **Improved Decision-Making** The Harvard Business Review found that teams make better decisions 87% of the time compared to individuals. Collaboration brings diverse perspectives and ideas to the table, leading to more informed decision-making. This statistic suggests that group decision-making is often more accurate and well-rounded.

#174How cohesive are your lessons? Do you feel that activities flow and connect to each other in meaningful ways, or do they sometimes seem disconnected? Today's episode is a Leveling Up episode, where I coach Cyndi, a German teacher in Idaho. Planning more cohesive lessons that flow more naturally and are connected to each other is the area where she wants to level up her teaching practice.Suggestions:Use a Consistent Daily Lesson Framework Across All Levels. A consistent framework gives you a structure to plug in content without feeling like you're reinventing the wheel every day. It also provides students with a predictable routine, which enhances engagement and learning.Focus on Key Learning Targets and Prioritize. By narrowing your focus, you avoid overloading yourself and the students. Lessons will feel more cohesive because everything revolves around a central goal, which helps bring that “flow” you're looking for. Go deep on compelling topics.Chunk Your Time for Efficient Planning. By batching similar tasks, you minimize switching costs and make the process more efficient. This also helps ensure consistency across all your classes and lessens the cognitive load.Leverage Spiral Review. Students will see the connections between lessons, and it reduces the pressure on you to cover everything perfectly in one class. By spiraling content, lessons will feel more connected and purposeful, and you'll also create natural review opportunities for students. Perhaps use that additional block each week during the extended period. Action Plan:This Week:Create a flexible lesson template for your 50-minute and 90-minute classes; figure out how the time will be chunked and determine 2-3 activities for this period of time.Focus on one learning target per lesson to maintain clarity and coherence.The Coming Weeks:Incorporate spiral review activities into extended lesson blocks to maintain flow and reinforce learning over time.You can also be a part of Leveling Up coaching episode if there is an area of your teaching that you like to improve or enhance.

I don't think I can possibly rank these cups in any sort of universal way though. No, no I think based on the garment that makes sense the garmento then we're if it's like a really high quality one But it has a little hole but I'm gonna fix it with I'm gonna sew it and then better make it double It's what do they call it distressed this is a distressed garment hand-stitched hand-stitched Let's see, what's it called when it's from like a did you ever make a Build-A-Bear? Yeah, you know how you like get to put a little heart in them. Oh, yeah, that's kind of like, um if you were to If you were to stitch one of them you put like a little something in there Imagine if you had your hand in your pocket and you could feel like a little heart Hands down the worst one of these pants that actually made oh my god. I love those. I'm just kidding. Yeah, these are mid Yeah, let's not look like someone had a little period mistake Poppin they turned out sick. Yeah, that's turned out great. Did you is this the same one that you were wearing the Pop one or we oh, no, we're getting to a nevermind. Nevermind. Look at this. I answered my own question Like so these those are cool. These three pants. These two pants are all those. Those are all really good So like two out of three. Yeah, really. I mean and Someone will love the third look at that for like like I kind of crushed most let me see that one I Ain't nothing special Yeah, but like it's cute. It's fun. It's funny. I was actually wearing I'm like I feel like if it had like the spongebob flowers on it, it'd really bring it all together. Yeah, and yeah, it's I'm kind of using Just whatever whatever called stamps stamps. No, but uh Shroom prints the other one iron on patches. Oh as a way of Just covering that and also being like special. Yeah special like you Just you know, it's average but someone put a bow on it It's never fun when people like we're both we're both special. Yeah So it was Kenzie and are breaking our boundaries I'm just developing a method of like okay. How are you talking to show with your partner where it's like We need to develop the fully built characters of like, okay Yeah, we have a few ideas ideas cooking. Yeah, you take you take the lead because I'm like physically. I'm I'm popping it I'm giving it. Yeah, you are popping it. I'm I'm eating candy. Um Well, there's there's talks of maybe a documentary there's talks of maybe some Sketches skits. I don't know which comedy comedy. This comedy both the shorts turned out horribly Like not even really worth showing. I mean show Pop it and this third pair of shorts off it for me BAM BAM BAM I call it that side that side that side. Yeah, the funny if this is okay. I just didn't really have any blue shorts Me up. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and then I just blew you I don't really mind those Yeah, they're just mid they just need like I mean they're they're like basic bitch. Yeah, but like then they can let the top shine, you know That's a good point. I know like having the bomb. Oh, look at the back though. I like that that corner Yeah, this kind of matches a lot of the ones I was making later, which guys does either reinforce that like the temperature has a roll Or oh, so yeah, this beauty's nice this beauty is a beauty Yeah, so this is the vision pants No sneak peeks at what's next That's cool. Mm-hmm. That's cool over there. These pants rock. Yeah, we did a great job Whispers yeah bulbs and whispers. I know like a Framing or like a Like a way of talking like that almost looks 3d in a way. Mm-hmm coming over the way of like describing different places Kind of like clouds. Yeah, they have like six straddle cumulus. No, yeah Because like this one has a whole system has similar bulbs. Mm-hmm Is this just kind of the same as this just bulbs and splashes? No Yes, this has so much more personality. This looks so good on Though like that's where these pants like they look really cool as is. Yeah, but they look exquisite on Exquisite I can't wear cheap pants through the whole show. Mm-hmm Tiger doesn't like to be like, oh I'm getting a show from here Everyone can totally see him now. Oh, I like it with this shirt. Yes. Yeah Yeah, what can I say? Slay? I'm an intense. What else could you say gang gang? I mean gang gang Those ones looks really cool on as well. Yes, these ones will let the the tops pop top pop I mean, yeah, cuz a lot of I mean this top pops top pop Definitely. Yeah. No, it does and like that's what you want from your top. Yeah, it's to pop. Yeah, really anything you want it to pop But you don't want top and top and bottom can pop like this is a top that pops. It is a top that pops That's a cool top. The whole thing is like this is just a statement piece of this anyone looks so good They look so good on the bleach. Yeah, I like sometimes that they can't really see him. Mm-hmm There's a subtle like see ya. I can't even see ya Yeah, but then it's like if you got retroflectively splash Did you catch that you catch that leak leak leak reference? So, yeah The inside this has like some right here Mm-hmm. And so if I press right there, this doesn't have like it's like it seems like this would have been thin enough that My guess would be that the front and back would have been like much closer match. It's like that's really cool The specific thing that you just showed me Because it looked like something Nope, it's not what I thought. I thought it looked like maybe like a skeleton dancing, but it did not Oh nice back Cohesive, yeah, very cool. Very nebulous. The whole thing is I'm gonna register like when I was making this because you're filming We're talking. I have no idea how I tie this together Yeah, I'm just actually kind of standing In memoriam to story. Oh, I guess that means he's dead. That's not what I meant Thank you very much. I made the punch of myself didn't God, I mean, it's sick. I know it's really hard because I did I did get a lot of these easy gap ones to sell But now I'm like, whoa now that I got official easy Easy gap ones because I'm like a lot of minor just samples Scamples, so it's fun to have a couple there. I like the way they do this if you feel it It doesn't feel you felt it. No, but I can see oh, yeah. Yeah, it's like that's what it's that's what it should be That's what you need. I Need a easy a easy quality tag. Yeah. Yeah I believe in you. I think you can do it. I think a screen printing is the way. Yeah, I do too My black velour. I did put double X on triple X off God like that is just really divine divine. Yeah, I like that. I've got some really good phrasing for D Vine So if there's one This one's okay. I think it's kind of neat and special Yeah, nothing really special, but they're pretty cool here, but that's pretty cool. Like it looks almost like a solar flare Yes Interesting one right here. That one's kind of neat Yeah, and say I'm like if I didn't have any of these beaches and I just saw this I'd be that'd be I'd be so Stoked isn't it if this is like how one of my places turned out. I'd be like, holy shit. I'm doing this full-time I'm gonna be a millionaire. Oh my god. I'm gonna be a thousand or Yeah No, um, I mean this is this is kind of like the they play bagpipes like this is like The end of a bleach session for me. Oh like a funeral. Yeah. Yeah kind of it's more of like A celebration. It's like more of a new chapter really. Yeah selling Okay, got a little cocky and thought you could see how you could scale. Can you sell I don't want to sell I don't want to scale either though. You got to go out and work. I'm curious. So this is a really I Like this a lot more than the ones that were like I removed all of the red and is all pink. Really? Yeah, but this is just you know, it's a little underwhelming But like one or two screen prints. Oh, yeah, I know divine But I kind of like it kind of being simple. Mm-hmm. Jimple. I think I think one or two screen prints It's hard to beat that I mean like but like how much so how much more would it could it probably go for with a screen print? I don't know. This is about money for you. Yeah, it's what it's ever been about man I'm just trying to find the quickest way to make a buck. Totally.

I love it. Yeah actual George This is a Russia. This one's Russia White Russia. Oh It's okay. It would pass. It's okay. The back is not so bad that it ruins the front, correct I look like someone spilled a little drink on it or something And this interesting part is like sometimes if the bleach just barely hits a place It still doesn't it has the undercut like the color under it and it just looks like dirty Hmm, but it's not and that's what that's why I used to think that if I'd set the bleachers on opposite colors That it would stain through. Hmm when really it was just happened to be Because it was so odd. I'm like, why does this happen randomly? No Where do that term come from making headway Yeah, right This one's cool Yeah, this one's great. Yeah, this one's really cool and it kind of different way than any of my other ones have been.

It covers my butt. Okay, now it looks pretty cool. Like that arm looks cool. To quote you. Right above your left hip looks great. Yeah. Stage left. Stage left. I feel like the shoulders are really like Like, yeah, they have very pointy shoulders. Yeah. This is one of the green Ones. This is black. It's funny. It has more of a green hue than the other green shirt did. Within that triangle? No. Oh, you mean other than the army green. Yeah. Yeah, the army greens are pretty much brown. You can see them right The bottom, the bottoms Of that messy, of that big star. Down, yep, those. Yeah. So those, those all turn into those. This one's great, but I don't It's not perfect for me because of the feel. It's a little, I kind of like some rougher. I feel like that would really soften up. Probably would. Honestly, so I liked it When it was flat. But this has really Surprised me. It's interesting this. It kind of looks like I like No, it's funny. It kind of looks like it's like going up that way though. I just want to see if like Does this look the same on me as it does on you? It's going to look way better on you. It really does look different on different people. Yeah. This one's great. Grip. Personal. Jersonal. That's my Jersonal file. I don't think I, I think Bang. Um, I think It looks pretty cool on you actually. Oh yeah, well it's crazy. Like, that's weird. Yeah. Not many of them do that. Yeah. So yeah, it doesn't mean to be like Like the shoulder's weird. I think it's meant for a really wide guy. Wide guy. Wide guy. Well that's you. You're a big guy. I'm a big man. This one, this one turned out great Just because of right here. This saved it. That's pretty cool. Yeah, put the vultures on. Put it on. She puts on. I just, I don't love the neck holes of them. My neck hole. My neck hole. I kinda like it. I like the feel of the sleeves. This is a nice shirt. It's a good shirt. I like the feel. Yeah. The real feel. The real feel. She's a balancing goddess. I'm trying to be wide. You are wide. I'm like a fucking line batter. You're not too wide though. That's this one. This one. Boom. Nice. And like boom. Just with that, we're pretty much done. I like when you put them away like a forklift. Me too, but these ones each gotta go to a very specific spot. This one's going up behind you. Oh. Beep beep. That's the rest of the show for like the next 20 minutes. Tiger and Kenzie pretending to be forklifts. Completely sober. Just forklifting. Forklifting. Just forking. Trying to make a living. Forklifting. This is gonna go in the cell pile. This guy. Is this the cell pile? Yeah, I saw it. If you know. If it all falls down. And it all falls down. She's looking a little wob. That's what it does. Wobbed? You have to beat the wob. Wob. Wob. Wob. It's the wob. Wob. Wob. That's a easy shirt, but I think I'll sell it. Bye. This is a easy shirt, but I think I'll sell it. Bye. This is the double layer Kenzie. I think I'll sell it. To the pile. Sergeant Pile. Is this the cell? Yeah, every single thing over there. Oh, really now? You can even put it on that really cool ass red shirt. Or hoodie. Getting a little tired here? Yeah, I'm sorry. Oh, this is the shirt that has the double. It's just a lumper. It's not a lover. It's a lumper. And then that you can park right back up there. I'm not sleepy, you're sleepy. I've always wanted to be a boss, you're sleepy. Looks like an eyeball. On the desk. I've never noticed it. You see how there's three holes? The majority of the time it's been covered up. I know how to do damage control. Wow, the back of this one looks great. That's who I talked to? He looks perfect. I do it with the back out, but it's okay. Again. Kenzie does it perfectly. Kenzie forgets the back and the front thing though. I'm so used to doing the front forward. I like hiding it. Because the back usually looks about the same. This is crazy looking. I think I do the front because I had graphic tees for a long time. And that's how I would distinguish. What shirt is this? Oh shit. Who is this, I say. I do have relationships with men. Is it my golden boy? No. Who is your golden boy? That's a good question. See, doesn't that look blue? Something could have been staining it. Who stained it? Not one of us. Who is the damager? The damager. Who? I'm folding here. You cut the clear right away. Look at that. God, you're good at what you do. That looks really nice. I don't know why that's so fucking funny. Yeah, so that one and this one are my favorites. And the one I'm wearing is okay. How is it? Okay. I'm going to take this tangy shirt off. Do the rest of the shawl. In the braless. Oh my god, I'm so sleepy. I'm so sleepy! So sleepy that I ate like two bites of that cotton candy. I'm like, okay. Donezo. Bye. But I'm really happy I documented these because I've done so many. I mean, god damn it. The amount of fucking footage that I didn't want to just be like, okay, that last one, yeah, I just skimped out on it. Because I'm going to be like, prove that you made them, man. Because you probably didn't. Where's the street cred in that? Where's the street cred? You probably just bought them. Boney. Okay, so we're living out my nightmare right now. Everyone's like, you didn't. You just, I bet you took it from someone else. From a smaller, if you loved it. Smaller, if someone was tiny. I stole it from a bitchy. Nice shirt. Thanks. It's a cool sweater, sweater, sweater, sweater, sweater. I like the green. Green boy. Alright, thanks everyone for tuning in. I don't know what I'm going to do with three different camera angles of all this. Please, god help me. Bye. Bye. Bye. Last word, bye. Can't keep doing this to me. I'm gonna freak. I'm gonna go bananas. Hidden. Didn't know the show was kept going. He freaked out. Not very well. He doesn't really do it that much. He doesn't have a lot of practice. Doesn't really know how to. He kind of just goes. I'm not happy. Fixed it. And then he goes. I'm not bleaching another god damn shirt until I'm happy. But I'm not happy until I bleach another shirt. That is the problem with life. Yup, yup. Alright, let's go watch some tv and pass out. Alright, cool. You'll stop the camera. Don't bang that thing. Don't clap that thing. Oh, wait. I'll clap it. I'll clap it, baby.

“If there's a plot line for this video, I wish someone would let me know,” laughs infamous New Wave icon JOSIE COTTON about her new video “TRICK OR TREAT” that co-stars Kevin Preston of Prima Donna and currently playing guitar in Green Day. Cohesive narrative or not, when Josie's around, a storyline isn't necessary. Concurs Kevin, “Playing dress up with Josie Cotton is always a blast…I got to be Frankenstein. Enough said!”The Halloween-themed video for the ‘50s-style cover of Chuck Berry's holiday classic stars the pair in different costumes (be sure to check out the extra pair of legs on Josie's hot pink get up!) while they duet to the spooky tune. “Making the video was more like an insanely fun trainwreck, moving between worlds," she smirks. "And let's face it, monsters are just better at parties.” Filmed at Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles, CA and directed by Kent Holmes, the video is the latest in a string of new music from the New Wave glitzy glamor queen.

Welcome to today's episode, where we are diving into building and maintaining cohesive teams in a busy veterinary practice, especially one with multiple teams and shifts. In some practices, it's common for staff members to barely see each other, which can make it challenging to stay aligned with practice goals. How can we ensure everyone is on the same page, even when they work at different times? Our guest, Steph Ferkovich a CVT from a 24-hour clinic in Minnesota, joins us to share her experience. With a background in criminal justice and psychology, Steph has a unique approach to team dynamics. Her favorite part of the job is watching staff members thrive in their roles, which is why she's so passionate about fostering strong communication within her practice. Throughout this episode, Steph will discuss the challenges of managing a clinic where teams work different shifts. She explains how they overcame an “us vs. them” mentality and built a culture of open communication. From handling team conflicts to recognizing when training alone won't resolve every issue, Steph offers practical strategies for maintaining harmony in the workplace. We'll also hear about the evolving role of managers in veterinary practices. Steph shares how she's shifted from being seen as an authority figure to more of a coach for her team and how loosening control can sometimes be the key to success. If you're ready to learn how to build a more cohesive and communicative team, listen to this conversation with Steph Ferkovich. Show Notes: [2:51] - Working at a 24-hour clinic is unique with an unusual schedule. The different shifts overlap, but otherwise, the teams don't see much of each other. [5:07] - One thing that needed to change was the “Us Vs. Them” vocabulary. [7:27] - Team attitudes can be negative, but it's important for them to realize that there are reasons, sometimes personal ones, that a team member works a certain shift. [9:42] - Working with people means that sometimes there will be animosity. Steph explains how to bring two people together for conversations even with resistance. [12:37] - A mediator is highly recommended in conversations that address animosity and conflict. [14:49] - Fortunately, Steph's team is pretty open with communication after the culture had been developed that it was important. [18:18] - In some cases, training will not change or fix communication between some team members. [20:10] - As a manager, Steph has learned that if something isn't working, there are other ways to help teams communicate. [21:53] - How do teams see their manager? Steph explains how this has changed over time and how most of the time it is as a coach. [24:38] - Loosening up control can be a challenge for some managers. [26:55] - Change is okay. What was working three years ago might not work anymore. Thank you for listening. Remember you are not in this alone. Visit our website for more resources.

This week, we welcome designers Ellie Cullman and Lee Cavanaugh from the eponymous design firm Cullman & Kravis, who discuss their latest book, 'Cullman and Kravis Interiors.' Although "Cullman & Kravis Interiors" is technically the fourth book from designer Ellie Cullman, it is the first book that showcases her own firm's approach to blending traditional and contemporary styles. Ellie and Lee emphasize their passion for reflecting client interests, location, and functionality in their designs, and they also share insights about the importance of cohesive coloring and the ‘alchemy of old and new' in creating vibrant living spaces. Watch this week's conversation as recorded on Ballard Designs YouTube. What You'll Hear On This Episode: 00:00 Introduction 00:33 Meet Our Guests: Ellie Cullman and Lee Cavanaugh 01:58 The Unique Cullman and Kravis Aesthetic 03:58 Designing for Function and Comfort 05:15 Interactive Design Process 13:43 Collaborative Design and Client Interaction 20:48 Adapting Designs for Future Needs 23:14 Creating Play Spaces for All Ages 23:58 Exploring Traditional Design 25:31 Balancing Old and New in Interiors 31:48 The Importance of Color Cohesion 35:35 Personal Stories and Design Tips 39:16 Decorating Dilemmas and Solutions 45:21 Conclusion + Where to Find More from Cullman & Kravis Decorating Dilemma: Cullman & Kravis suggest embracing the bold fuchsia color from her chairs by incorporating it elsewhere in the room to achieve cohesion. They recommended painting the walls in the fuchsia shade or using a textured wall covering to tie the space together. If the bold choice felt overwhelming, they suggested adding fuchsia accessories, such as vases or a large bowl, on the dining table. To address the issue with her dining chairs on the carpet, they recommended using plastic sliders or sabots on the chair feet for ease of movement. Overall, they encouraged Donna to continue her bold direction and reminded her that sometimes stepping out of her comfort zone can result in a well-designed room.

Hey friend! Does the idea of a home with an open concept sound nice until it comes time to decorating? Open concepts sound nice, but how do you create a home that looks curated, nuanced and cohesive when it's all essentially one big room? And how do you do that without just getting matching everything? In this podcast I'm sharing three ways you can unify your space intentionally without being matchy-matchy. 1. Focus on the foundation: The foundation of your home is the floor and walls. Walls include window treatments. Keeping base colors the same (i.e. in area rugs and curtains), choosing a color palette and using it throughout the open concept and using the same curtain rods, shades, etc. all help create cohesiveness. 2. Repeat MACRO and MICRO design elements: Large design elements like wood tones, metals, colors, textures are easy to repeat. When you master that, take it a step further by focusing on the micro design elements - the more subtle = the more nuanced. The more nuanced = the more elevated. 3. Look for the outliers: Try finding the things that no longer belong and remediate them by removing them or intentionally adding additional items to make the outlier fit in.

Struggling to get influencer marketing working for your business? Businesses today face the complex challenge of effectively aligning their brands with influencers to truly connect with their audiences. Despite rising investments in influencer marketing, many companies struggle to ensure their collaborations are strategically sound and resonate authentically with their target demographics. Misalignment can lead to inauthentic content, wasted resources, and failed campaigns. Imagine launching a campaign that falls flat because the influencer's message doesn't resonate, or worse, is perceived as disingenuous. This not only damages the campaign but can also tarnish the brand's reputation. How do we find and select influencers, and get them aligned with our marketing strategies? That's what Ashley Zeckman is here to help us with. Ashley is a dynamic marketing leader and Co-CEO at Onalytica, a company renowned for its expertise in influencer marketing and audience intelligence.

Ryan & Becca tackle a listener question today about the importance of having a cohesive style in pottery. Two Sisters Pottery includes a sibling duo creating work in varying styles today. We discuss the balance between creative freedom and branding, offering insights on how diverse styles can coexist within a single pottery business. Thanks for listening!Listener QuestionsOn this episode:- I've been doing pottery for several years now, but just got into doing it full time and making larger scale works (8lb+). I noticed when I have days I'm throwing all day that my lower back is just completely spent. Even just bending over the sink is really difficult to maintain balance at the end of a throwing day. I have very, very, very minor scoliosis which might also be contributing to this. I don't really notice this on days I'm throwing small pots, but only when I'm centering larger amounts. Do you have any tips, tricks, or even certain exercises to minimize physical issues like this? I know Becca has mentioned she has carpel tunnel. I do wrist stretches but am not sure how to position myself so I don't have that much back pain (other than configuring a standing wheel). I'm only in my mid twenties and want to continue doing this for a long time @Hannahsceramicstudio- I'm wanting to know your opinion on having a cohesive look throughout your work. I've been doing pottery for over 3 years now and still in love with all the techniques that are possible. Maybe there is more cohesiveness than I think but how important is that for a business do you think? This is my sister and my page as she also does pottery. Her style is much more whimsical and there's also not many of her works as she doesn't do this nearly as much as I do. Thanks for answering!

How easy is it for a layperson to understand your systems? Jared Norman is a software consultant, speaker, and host of the Dead Code Podcast who specializes in building e-commerce applications in Ruby on Rails. This episode follows two recent talks at RailsConf and covers a theme that emerged from both of them: coupling and cohesion. Tuning in, you'll gain insights on how to create more cohesive components to allow for change and improve your understanding of value objects, systems, and more. You'll also hear about navigating the complexity of domain-driven design and learn how to gauge if your code is easy to understand through a simple rule of thumb. We discuss what it might look like to improve the cohesion of individual objects, identify your systems' seams to create simplicity, and the liminal space between inheritance and composition and the role of decorators in moving through it. Join us today to hear all this and more! Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Jared Norman recent speaker at RailsConf and Ruby on Rails specialist. Jared's interests outside of coding: cycling. Themes that emerged from Jared and Stephanie's talks: coupling and cohesion. A rule of thumb for achieving high cohesion. How value objects tie into the idea of cohesion. Creating more cohesive components in order to have code and systems that are easier to change. The relationships between objects in increasing cohesion and how complex nestings of objects can hinder this. Rearranging systems in order to find seams and create cohesion. Simplifying code in order to facilitate it working independently to support functionality. Improving systems by identifying opportunities for decoupling and other relationships. Inheritance, composition, and decorators and the liminal space between. The complexity of domain-driven design. A rule that indicates when a system is easy to understand.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 1, 2024 is: cohesive • koh-HEE-siv • adjective Something described as cohesive sticks together and forms something closely united. The word is usually used with abstract terms in phrases like "a cohesive social unit" or "a cohesive look/aesthetic." Cohesive can also be used to describe something, such as the design of a room or the plot of a movie, that is coherent—in other words, logically or consistently ordered. // The couple chose their wedding colors and designs carefully to make sure everything had a cohesive look. // The customer service department is a small but cohesive team. See the entry > Examples: "The collection showcases a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and classic craftsmanship, allowing customers to create cohesive outdoor environments that enhance the beauty of their surroundings." — Business Insider, 16 Mar. 2024 Did you know? The Latin verb haerēre has shown remarkable stick-to-itiveness in influencing the English lexicon, which is fitting for a word that means "to be closely attached; to stick." Among its descendants are adhere (literally meaning "to stick"), adhere's relative adhesive (a word for sticky substances), inhere (meaning "to belong by nature or habit"), and even hesitate (which implies remaining stuck in place before taking action). In Latin, haerēre teamed up with the prefix co- to form cohaerēre, which means "to stick together." Cohaerēre is the ancestor of cohesive, a word borrowed into English in the early 18th century to describe something that sticks together literally (such as dough or mud) or figuratively (such as a society or sports team).
