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.

Thanks for the invite. Who's coming?When we receive an invite to an all gay event, what's the first thing we do?Sure, we look at the theme of the party, the location, the date, but those are usually secondary considerations to the big question, “who's going?”This is really a multiprong question: Will I feel comfortable with these guys? Is there anyone there I'd like to to date or fuck? Will anyone there want to date or fuck me? Will these guys bore me to death?Basically, am I physically and intellectually attracted to the guys who are going, and will they have a hankering for what I have to offer?The current political consensus of our people demands inclusiveness. As I understand the edict, nothing should prevent us from inviting every type of human expression (body shape/size, sex, gender identity, ability, color, or socioeconomic background) to our event.That's “inclusive,” and it's the right thing to do. Right?Is that what you're thinking as you scroll the invite list? I'm guessing it's not your highest priority.Are we already breaking the rules by just inviting gay men? Of course we are. And, of course, we'll keep doing it.Because that's how diversity works, we can't have cultural diversity if we don't have a diversity of cultures.Gay male culture is defined by our same sex attraction for one another. Yes, we share many other common interests, like show tunes, but no attribute is as universal as our same sex attraction. That aspect is intrinsic to our gay get-togethers. It's often the centerpiece, whether overtly recognized or not.This causes a conundrum for those who want to create an affinity group (exclusive space) and your friend group is a mixed crowd, many of whom will not qualify, when one of the aims of the gathering is to provide space for erotic connections.This creates an awkward challenge as I continue my experiment of finding heart-centered connection instead of churning through meaningless sexual encounters.Meaningless sex is a simple endeavor: We both decide if we want what the other guy has. We both give and take. Done. Goodbye forever.Heart-centered connections that include an erotic overlay are vastly more complicated, mainly because we genuinely want the best for guys we care about and don't want to add any negative baggage to the often heavy psychic load many of us are already carrying.“You're not invited,” or “Thank you, but I don't want to dance with you,” creates tension.Before I move on, let me be clear that there are all kinds of other “gay” events (that are usually not all gay men) where this is completely a non-issue. Events like banquette fundraisers, which are a whole culture themselves, where your donation is your most attractive feature; gay sports teams, where your athletic ability is the premium feature; and political clubs, where your connections, ability to mesmerize a room, and access to cash make you politically attractive.When a gay event also includes the possibility of erotic connection, the politically correct mantra of everyone, everywhere, all the time, or else you're a scumbag bigot, wears thin.A problem with the “everyone is equally beautiful” mantra is that it is simply not true. Physical beauty is determined by millions of years of evolution, and a fat dollop of conditioning received via social media. You may want Ryan Gosling to want you back (I know I do), but giving him all your attention deprives you of the opportunities available to you with other guys–the guys who are aesthetically similar to you.Another hard reality is to be realistic about whom you have access to on a physical level. “LA is a city of 10s looking for an 11,” was a line in an old gay movie called Latter Days that still rings true. All those 10s are wasting time.Anyway, for those of you planning or attending sexually social events, here are a couple of ideas you can try out to make the gatherings more fulfilling.* Admit that private affinity groups exist and honor people's decision to have them. This means finding it in your heart to cheer them on for taking the risk and making an effort to create such a group, even when you are not invited. There is a sex party in LA that only allows men under 40. I don't qualify, but I remember when I was under 40, I would have LOVED such a party. So good on them. * Learn how to say “no” and hear “no” with grace. These boundary-setting techniques are something most of us were never taught. I know I had to learn them the hard way after years of having sex with guys just to be nice. Now, as my beauty recedes like the tide, I'm getting more opportunities to see and hear “no,” which I gotta say is very often done with grace. And it's still not easy to receive. Processing rejection gracefully is work. But it's worth it, so we can keep being friends.More about “No.”Both receiving and communicating “no” have their own challenges.Receiving “No.”Receiving “no” gracefully starts as a passive action (just don't cause a scene), but then requires the active internal work of processing rejection. That's big.Metabolizing that moment is essential to not ruining the rest of your night.Unless you've reached a permanent state of Enlightenment (Samadi), you will most likely need to process a pretty heavy feeling.For me, that feeling usually manifests in the gut, just below my rib cage. Interestingly, that is the home of our third chakra, the home of personal power, confidence, self-esteem, and willpower. Having your desirability and viability challenged is particularly challenging for men. No matter how gay you think you are, as a man, you have been conditioned from birth to confront assaults on your power, confidence, and self-esteem. So it's likely to elicit an aggressive reaction from your ego.Love is the only way out of this. It allows you to respond from your higher self as opposed to reacting from your ego.First, love yourself: remember you are a Spark of the Divine. You deserve care and attention. If you're not receiving it from pretty boy X, no matter what your ego tells you, let it go. Get out your love radar instead. Where is the love, gurl? Follow the ping leading you to where the love is. That is most likely a friend who, trust me, will love commiserating with you about being shot down.Second, and this is much harder, try to recognize and love the Spark of the Divine in the person who rejected you. I know it's hard with pretty people, but try. He has his own path, and he's exercising his agency, which, I hope, is what you would like to do as well.Communicating “No.”Communicating “no” requires you to love yourself enough to honor and implement your boundaries, while, at the same time, using as much empathy as possible to let your fellow gay down easy.Keep your distance. When you want to fuck a guy, one way to show your interest is to stand unnecessarily close. It works. And, doing the opposite —keeping your distance —works just as well.If you are in a group with him, like a naked game night or a group at the club, focus your attention on someone else. Make space between you and him. No touching. Turn your back. Go to the bathroom, the bar, or simply walk away.Have things gotten a little handsy? Nonchalantly move his hand. Like you're moving something out of the way for him. Oh, here, let me put that where it belongs. Do it with your eyes on his and he'll get the message.Phrases I've heard which allowed us both to keep our dignity are, “I'm good.” (after touching a guy on the dance floor), “I don't like being touched.” (probably a lie, but made it his problem), and “I'm not here for that.”Is he pushy? Is he an ass? Moving his hand with a slight crushing squeeze conveys the message. And, looking him directly in the eyes and saying, “I'm not into this; please move on.”Exercise your agency, your ability to make a choice. Don't expect him to read your mind. He may already be picking out cake toppers for your wedding cake. He may be too drunk or high. Or, he may be misreading your good nature as an invitation. When you get the vibe it's time to move on, do it. Do not feel obligated to stay with anyone you're not feeling it with.And. Do NOT give him your phone number or social media account. Unless, of course, you'd like to string out the long good-bye for days, weeks, or months.Going Deep: A Gay Guide to Reality is a reader-supported publication.

What is life really like behind the scenes at your vet's office? Collin sits down with Gigi Tsontos, Executive Director of Not One More Vet, Inc. (NOMV), to discuss the hidden mental health crisis facing veterinary professionals. Gigi shares the mission of NOMV, the complex stressors vets face, and the resources NOMV provides—from peer support to emergency grants. They also explore how pet sitters and pet parents can shift the culture through empathy, gratitude, and everyday check-ins. It's a call to action to recognize, respect, and support the emotional toll behind every diagnosis. Main topics: Veterinary mental health crisis Suicide prevention in vet medicine NOMV programs and peer support Communicating with empathy and care Role of pet sitters in advocacy Main takeaway: “When we as a community value mental health, it creates a wave—it hits everyone, and it keeps going.” Mental health isn't just an individual issue—it's a community responsibility. In the veterinary and pet care industries, small acts of compassion and understanding can ripple outward, changing lives and reshaping culture. Whether it's checking in on a colleague, expressing gratitude to your vet, or simply listening without judgment, your empathy makes a difference. Let's be the start of that wave—because when we value each other's wellbeing, we all rise together.. About our guest: Gigi Tsontos, LCSW, MPA, aka, Angelique, joined NOMV in January 2024. After studying Social Welfare Policy at the University of Kansas, Gigi spent two years in Mali West Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer, returning to complete a Master of Science in Social Work at Columbia University and a second Masters in Public Administration from San Diego State University. Her career led her to work in social services, homeless services, mental health, victims' rights, and nutrition supporting administrative roles and becoming a clinical social worker licensed in California and Kansas. Gigi lives in Kansas with her husband and 4 furry children. She sees the world as her home and has traveled extensively.
