Discover how embracing AI can free up your team to focus on what matters most – making a meaningful impact in your community. Want to Skip Ahead? Here are Some Key Takeaways: 03:31 AI as a Tool for Personal and Business Growth It is important to identify what brings joy and generates income, then using AI and automation to handle necessary tasks that don't fall into those categories. This approach allows for better time management and increased productivity. 11:05 Balancing Automation and Personalization There are concerns about AI and automation leading to depersonalization. Start with what works manually, then automate 80% of it. This approach saves time and increases productivity while still maintaining quality through human supervision. Pay attention to the iterative nature of implementing AI solutions in business. 18:20 Understanding AI Agents and Their Applications There are different types of automations, including linear, AI-powered, and AI agents. AI agents can be used in businesses, such as replacing receptionists for appointment booking. It's important to have proper training and data input for effective AI implementation. 24:26 Transparency and Practical Implementation of AI Transparency is so important when using AI in organizations. Communicate the use of AI to stakeholders, emphasizing its benefits. Attach AI implementation to specific outcomes that solve pain points for users. 28:10 Getting Started with AI in Business Start by describing the problem and desired outcome to ChatGPT, then consulting with multiple vendors. The importance of asking the right questions and starting with a proof of concept is important. Don't miss this opportunity to gain practical knowledge on harnessing AI to enhance your nonprofit's efficiency and donor engagement. Tune in for a conversation that could transform your approach to digital strategy and fundraising. Resources Follow Aarti on Insta and DM her FC-Pod to receive her playbook to adopt AI.

Today on the podcast, I'm honored to welcome a true water whisperer — Rebecca Goff, founder of Aqua Cranial®, a healing modality that merges craniosacral therapy with the intelligence of the ocean. For over two decades, Rebecca has worked with dolphins, whales, babies, mothers, and healers — guiding them back to regulation, softness, and connection through the gentle rhythms of the sea. Her work is rooted in presence, energy, and the sacred remembrance that water holds memory — and that healing doesn't have to be forceful to be profound. Rebecca is also a children's book author, translating her love of marine life and energetic healing into stories like “Kissing Whales: Healing Dolphins” — a heartwarming dive into nature's wisdom, available now on Amazon. In this episode, we explore the origin of Aqua Cranial, how she began working with dolphins in Hawaii, and what happens when we allow the body to be held — truly held — by water, rhythm, and nature.

Send us a textTruth can be both illuminating and devastating. When I recorded my very first podcast episode on "content communicating" with my then-husband, I believed we were strengthening our marriage by teaching others to "say what you mean and mean what you say." Little did I know he was actively betraying me throughout our entire year of podcasting together.Looking back at that initial episode brings a mixture of embarrassment, pain, and unexpected wisdom. What began as a simple communication concept has evolved into something far more powerful in my life: telling the whole truth. Not just the polite truth or the partial truth, but the complete, nuanced reality of our experiences. This isn't just about clearly expressing whether you need a bathroom break on a road trip—it's about acknowledging the complex, sometimes contradictory truths that define our lives.My truth included desperately wanting to save my marriage while ultimately choosing divorce. It included building a life coaching career focused on helping couples rebuild after betrayal, then transforming that practice when I realized I couldn't be the poster child for staying together through infidelity. The whole truth is messy, painful, and ultimately freeing. Through my own healing journey, I've learned that speaking our complete truth—first to ourselves, then to others—forms the foundation for authentic living after betrayal. Whether deciding to skip an event where seeing my ex would trigger dysregulation or setting boundaries that honor my wellbeing, this practice of whole-truth telling has become my compass.

173. What Happens if You Choose Invisibility? This episode discusses the critical issue of visibility in the workplace. I explore the challenges faced by high achievers in communicating effectively with senior leaders and the detrimental effects of remaining invisible. I emphasize the importance of self-advocacy, effective communication, and empowering teams to ensure that their contributions are recognized. I encourage listeners to take actionable steps towards visibility and to reflect on their own roles in fostering a culture of openness and recognition within their organizations. In this episode: Communicating effectively with senior leaders is a challenge for many high achievers. Many professionals feel they lack the 'secret language' to communicate with senior leaders. Stories can hold people back from being visible and sharing their ideas. If nothing changes, you risk remaining in the same role without recognition. Sitting in silence can hurt your career and the organization. You need to demonstrate your value to avoid being replaced. Empowering your team to share their successes is crucial. Visibility can lead to better results for the entire organization. Every individual has the opportunity to make a shift towards visibility. Taking action today can create a ripple effect in your organization.

Chapter Introduction to Prolonged Stress Cycle Dr. AmyVertrees introduces the episode's focus on the prolonged stress cycle, a topic of significant relevance, particularly for female surgeons, given the multitude of stressors present in both medicine and the broader world. She highlights that this subject emerged from discussions within the female boss surgeons group, underscoring its importance and widespread applicability. The Female Boss Surgeons Group Dr. V describes the group of female surgeons who meet weekly, Wednesdays at 6 p.m. Central, and twice a month on Sundays, to discuss topics often overlooked in residency but essential for career advancement and mental well-being. Dr. Vertings' Background and the Boss Business and Surgery Series Dr. V shares her background as a general surgeon and certified coach, emphasizing her experiences in military and civilian settings, as well as in private practice, which inspired her to create the Boss Business and Surgery series. She notes that the business was reinvigorated in 2020 to address new challenges faced by surgeons. Program Structure: Difficult Colleagues and Complications Dr. V details the program's structure, which includes three-month modules dedicated to addressing difficult colleagues and managing the impact of complications. She emphasizes that the program teaches strategies to improve relationships and positively influence workplace dynamics. Pervasive Nature of Stress The discussion emphasizes the pervasive nature of stress, which is exacerbated by global events and the inherent demands of being a surgeon. Dr. V mentions theories suggesting that the high level of stress in the world may be intentional, designed to keep people off balance and disengaged. Stress Cycle in Training and Early Career The prolonged stress cycle often begins during training, with experiences that may have been hostile or malignant, significantly impacting future stress responses. Dr. V reflects on her own training, initially downplaying its hostility but later recognizing its challenging aspects. "What Happened to You?" and Dysregulated Nervous System Dr. V references the book "What Happened to You?" by Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey, explaining how prolonged stress can dysregulate the nervous system, hindering rational thinking. She explains that stress can overwhelm the primitive brain, preventing signals from reaching the smart part of the brain. Regulated vs. Dysregulated Stress Dr. V differentiates between regulated stress, which builds tolerance and resilience, and dysregulated stress, which results from extreme, prolonged, and unpredictable situations. She notes that predictable, moderate, and controllable stress can lead to productive stress responses. The Stress Cycle: Trigger, Response, and Physiological Reaction Dr. V explains the stress cycle, which involves a trigger, a stress response (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn), and a physiological reaction. She emphasizes that recognizing these responses is crucial for managing stress effectively. Recognizing Physiological Stress Response Recognizing one's physiological stress response is crucial, as it serves as a red flag indicating excessive stress. Dr. V provides examples such as increased heart rate, muscle tension, and poor sleep. Surgical Scenario and Stress Response Dr. V provides an example of a stressful surgical scenario, emphasizing that recognizing a stress response is a sign of awareness, not a personal failing. She notes that in high-stress situations, the primitive brain can take over, hindering clear thinking. Finding a Colleague for Stability Finding a colleague in stressful situations can provide stability and prevent potentially harmful actions. Dr. V likens this to grabbing onto a stable object during a tornado. Emotional Regulation and Decision Fatigue The discussion covers the importance of emotional regulation, especially for new attendings, and the impact of decision fatigue. Dr. Vertings notes that making numerous decisions can impair one's ability to make further decisions effectively. Impaired Coping Mechanisms Impaired coping mechanisms, such as doom scrolling or overeating, can worsen the stress cycle. Dr. V explains that these behaviors are often attempts to avoid negative feelings but ultimately lead to increased vulnerability. Confidence as Emotional Regulation Confidence is defined as the ability to manage any emotion, including fear and uncertainty, while still acting effectively. Dr. V emphasizes that courage is acting despite feeling fear. Techniques to Interrupt the Stress Cycle Practical techniques to interrupt the stress cycle include deep breathing exercises, focusing on the next best step, and box breathing. Dr. V mentions Dr. Robin Tiger's advice on using deep breathing for both surgeons and patients. Importance of Emotional and Physiological Regulation Dr. V stresses that emotional and physiological regulation is crucial for surgeons, who are leaders of their teams and responsible for their patients. She notes that a calm leader can help the team remain calm and effective. Communicating with Families During Stressful Events Dr. V advises on communicating with families during stressful events, emphasizing the importance of reassuring them that their loved one is okay. She suggests leading with the assurance that the patient is fine before explaining the details. Value of a Second Set of Skilled Eyes The value of having a second set of skilled eyes, such as residents, is highlighted, as they can prevent potentially devastating mistakes. Dr. Vertings shares a personal experience where a resident prevented her from making a significant error. Strategies to Manage the Stress Cycle Strategies to manage the stress cycle include awareness and tracking, physiological regulation, emotional processing, cognitive reframing, and setting boundaries. Dr. V emphasizes the importance of naming and owning feelings. Purpose, Value Alignment, and Gratitude Purpose and value alignment, along with gratitude, are also important. Dr. V suggests reflecting on past experiences to identify one's values and aligning actions with those values. Finding a Challenge Network Dr. V recommends finding a challenge network, a group of supportive individuals who can be relied upon during difficult times. She credits Dr. Jill Clark for this concept. Promotion of Boss Female Surgeons Group Coaching Program Dr. V concludes by promoting the Boss Female Surgeons Group Coaching Program and other resources available at bosssurgery.com. She mentions upcoming topics such as power and negotiating, as well as strategies for managing clinic and developing a CEO self-concept.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Shireen Hilal discuss:Navigating modern law firm strategy in a rapidly evolving legal marketImproving internal operations and team culture to boost law firm performanceEnhancing client engagement and retention amid budget constraintsLeveraging cross-selling and business development tactics within law firms Key Takeaways:Law firms that prioritize understanding and responding to their clients' future needs instead of mirroring competitors can unlock unique opportunities for differentiation and growth.Clear and value-based billing practices—paired with proactive scope, time, and budget alignment—are essential to reinforcing client trust and maintaining healthy payment cycles.Structured programs like internal expert briefings and strategic client lunches can make cross-selling more natural and effective by focusing on solving client problems rather than pitching services.Communicating pricing changes with context and care rather than through generic finance memos helps strengthen client relationships and reinforces long-term loyalty. "The problem with obsessing about your competition instead of your clients is that, if you do, you are almost, by definition, falling in the middle. So the better way to get ahead, I think, is to be client-obsessed." — Shireen Hilal Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

In this episode of the Coaching Youth Hoops Podcast, hosts Bill Flitter and Steve Collins emphasize the critical role of effective communication among youth basketball players. They share anecdotes and strategies for teaching young athletes how to interact constructively on the court. Collins recounts a situation with a talented but overly aggressive player who needed guidance on holding teammates accountable without alienating them. This led to a team meeting focused on fostering a supportive environment where players understand they are all working towards the same goals of improvement and success. Flitter introduces the concept of pre-emptive correction, advising coaches to teach players to communicate reminders before mistakes happen, rather than yelling or criticizing after the fact. He uses the analogy of setting a curfew and reminding someone beforehand, as opposed to chastising them for missing it later. Both hosts highlight the diminishing communication skills among youth due to increased screen time and less face-to-face interaction. They suggest practical exercises, like role-playing scenarios with note cards, to help players practice giving and receiving feedback. The goal is to cultivate a "loud gym", which they equate to a "winning gym," by encouraging constant, positive communication, even if it means guiding players to refine their approach rather than discouraging them from speaking up entirely.
