In this heartfelt conversation, Heidi Rome opens up about her powerful journey with her son Ethan, who was diagnosed with severe autism at age 5 and told he had the mental capacity of a 5-month-old infant. For years, she sought to fix Ethan—turning to experts and therapies—only to find herself drained, powerless, and without answers.Everything shifted when Ethan, at 9 years old, was given assistive technology at a school that presumed competence. Suddenly, his brilliance and deep wisdom shone through. From that moment, Heidi realized her role was not to fix, but to love. Ethan's words—“You just have to love me”—freed her to embrace unconditional acceptance.

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Sumit and Viraj Dhanda, a father-son duo who are working to update and rethink norms around communication, intelligence, and inclusion. Viraj is a nonspeaking autistic student who was diagnosed with autism and apraxia as a young child. Viraj and his father, Sumit, talk about their journey navigating the challenges and misconceptions surrounding non-verbal communication, the impact of apraxia, and the importance of presuming competence. Viraj shares his personal experiences through a communication tool, and tells the story of when he and his father discovered his unique condition. TAKEAWAYS Many non-speakers have apraxia of speech. Potential can be missed when you fail to presume competence in non-speaking people. Typing can be a transformative communication tool for non-speakers. Misconceptions about non-verbal communication can be damaging. Advocacy and persistence can lead to breakthroughs in education. Parents should explore all communication options for their children. Non-speaking people can and do have rich, complex thoughts. Education systems should rethink expectations for non-speakers. Emerging technologies offer hope for non-speaking people. Viraj and Sumit Dhanda are a father-son duo reshaping the conversation around communication, intelligence, and inclusion. Viraj, a nonspeaking autistic student admitted to MIT's Class of 2029, was diagnosed with autism and apraxia in early childhood. Through typing, he broke through profound communication barriers and revealed extraordinary strengths in mathematics, writing, and critical thinking. His poetry and essays offer rare insight into the inner world of nonspeaking autistics and have been featured by The Boston Globe, CBS Evening News, and NPR's Here & Now. Sumit, a finance professional and former executive at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citadel Securities, and Evercore ISI, now dedicates much of his time to advocacy and storytelling alongside his son. With a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and graduate degrees from Dartmouth and BITS Pilani, Sumit brings a unique lens to the conversation. Together, they are co-authoring a memoir that weaves their two perspectives into one powerful narrative—challenging assumptions and expanding what we understand about neurodiversity and human potential.

Greetings everyone, and welcome to another episode of Conversations Spoken in the Dark. I'm your host, Hermence Matsotsa, Transformational Leadership and Career Transition Coach and Founder of uBuntuSpeaks.I created this podcast because too often, the most meaningful conversations the ones about identity, healing, belonging, and how we live, learn, and lead are whispered in the dark. They go unspoken, overlooked, or carried as silent burdens. Conversations Spoken in the Dark is a space to bring those stories into the light so we can name them, understand them, and begin to heal both individually and collectively.In today's episode, titled Learning Without Limits, I'm joined by Jeremy Grandstaff, leadership and talent development strategist, facilitator, and champion for creating inclusive, courageous systems together. Jeremy is passionate about helping organizations spark the change they want to see, and his approach to learning and development challenges us to think differently about how growth really happens.Together, we'll explore what it means to learn without limits to move beyond routine learning and toward a culture where people can grow, experiment, and show up as their full selves.So settle in and join me for this insightful conversation.Let's learn, lead, and grow — together in the light.

Summary In this episode, the hosts discuss the stages of competence and their relevance to motor skill learning. They explore various motor learning models, the distinction between competence and capability, and the critical role of coaching in skill development. The conversation also delves into the importance of teaching individuals how to learn effectively, especially in high-pressure environments like military and sports. Additionally, they address tendon pain management strategies, emphasizing the need for proper loading and rehabilitation techniques. The episode concludes with insights on finding the right coach and fostering a learning mindset. Takeaways The stages of competence include unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence. Motor learning models help in understanding the learning process and can be applied across various fields. Competence and capability are different; one can be capable but not competent in a skill. Effective coaching involves understanding the learner's stage and adapting the approach accordingly. Teaching how to learn is often more valuable than focusing solely on specific skills. Tendon pain management requires a focus on loading and remodeling rather than rest. Isometric holds can be effective for managing tendon pain and improving capacity. Communication in coaching is crucial; it's about what is understood, not just what is said. Peer learning and training groups can enhance skill development and motivation. Finding the right coach is essential for effective learning and performance improvement.

Send us a textTrust isn't a vibe we hope for; it's a set of behaviors we can name, practice, and renew. We sit down with leadership and career development coach Flo LaBrado to turn trust from a fuzzy concept into a shared language that makes coaching safer, braver, and more effective.We break down the four distinctions of trust popularized by Charles Feltman—care, sincerity, reliability, and competence—and translate them into everyday coaching moves. Care means centering the client's agenda, not the coach's preferences. Sincerity is saying the hard thing with honesty and respect. Reliability lives in punctuality and follow-through. Competence is knowing your scope, telling the truth about your limits, and referring when needed. Flo shares how she bakes these into client agreements so expectations are explicit from day one.We also tackle technology transparency and AI. Whether you keep analog notes or lean on digital tools, clients deserve clarity about recordings, storage, deletion, and who or what is responding. Some will want searchable transcripts; others will want no data kept at all. By offering options and inviting pushback—“Is this okay?” rather than just “Do you understand?”—we build agency and deepen the container. We explore cultural nuance, where trust signals vary across identities and contexts, and show how a shared vocabulary helps coach and client align without erasing difference. Finally, we touch on trauma-informed coaching: recognizing overwhelm, slowing down, and honoring the boundary between coaching and therapy.If you're ready to make trust a teachable skill rather than a hopeful assumption, this conversation is a practical roadmap. You'll walk away with language to use in your contracting, ways to model reliability, and questions that help clients grow their own self-trust beyond the session. If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review to help more coaches find it.Watch the full interview by clicking here. Find the full article here.Learn more about Flo LaBrado here. Grab your free issue of choice Magazine here - https://choice-online.com/

3. Learning Tradecraft on the Job: Heidi August's Rise from Clerk to Operative Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Heidi August proved her competence in Africa, learning tradecraft such as making dead drops. While working in Europe for David Whipple—an eccentric and anti-feminist mentor—she continued to develop her logistical skills, often running operations and handling people being exfiltrated from Soviet-occupied countries. Although Whipple preached against "women's lib," he recognized Heidi's capabilities. Unlike male case officers (the "fighter pilots of the CIA") who received prestigious training at "the farm," Heidi, hired as a clerk, learned her skills on the job. She eventually demonstrated the skills of a recruiter when she initiated a recruitment against Whipple's initial rejection, targeting a woman clerk from another country. She used elicitation skills to identify the target's vulnerability—a desire for revenge against her bosses—and successfully obtained critical communications technology, cementing her reputation as a capable officer.

"Just because I am a hundred percent willing to hand it off and a hundred percent confident in their ability to make it, doesn't mean that it's something they're willing to do."Karen & Paul share the complexities of delegating decisions in collaborative environments. They explore the dual aspect of the question 'Can you decide?'—considering both the capacity and willingness of the person being asked. Key topics include the importance of setting clear parameters, anticipating possible outcomes, and managing the impact of potentially suboptimal decisions on relationships. They emphasize the need for trust, competence, and effective repair strategies when things go wrong.Resources & Links:Emily Webber's essay on “Hat, Haircut, or Tattoo”: https://emilywebber.co.uk/decision-making-at-the-right-level-with-hats-haircuts-and-tattoos/

In this episode of Business Lunch, Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss explain how the classic four-stage buying journey has collapsed into one moment—and why trust is the lid that keeps prospects “popping” in your pot. They unpack three forms of trust—Identity, Competence, and Proximity—with sharp wins and public flops (Nike, Sephora, Peloton, DSW, Starbucks, Apple, United). You'll get simple creative frameworks to turn short-form content into instant, in-channel conversions and a 14-day sprint to prove it on a small budget.Highlights“It's not a funnel anymore—it's a popcorn popper. Your audience are kernels heating at different speeds. Trust is the lid that keeps them popping for you.”“Competence trust means the brand ‘gets me'—often better than I can describe myself.”“Employees outperform celebrities for reach and credibility—because most buyers are employees.”“Frictionless is forgettable. Add desirable friction that helps buyers name their pain and act.”“If you can't pivot your model, bolt trust into your media: mirror-micro-media, why-what-where, people-place-proof.”Mentioned in This EpisodeThree Trust Types (MAP mnemonic):M – Identity trust: Mirror → Micro → MediaA – Competence trust: “Answer” with Why → What → WhereP – Proximity trust: People → Place → ProofCompetence wins & misses: Nike's “Why do it?” repositioning; Sephora tutorials lifting AOV; Peloton's 2019 holiday ad backlash.Proximity plays: DSW AR try-ons; Starbucks barista TikToks; Apple retail specialists; cautionary tale—United Airlines viral incidents.Localization tactics: regional currency/sites, geo-specific visuals (city skylines), and micro-influencers by market.KPI effects: higher AOV/retention/loyalty from competence; higher LTV from proximity; employee posts driving outsized reach.Timestamps00:00 – The collapsed customer journey: from funnel to popcorn popper (trust as the lid)04:00 – Recap: Identity trust (mirror, micro, media)—and why episodes stand alone but compound07:30 – Competence trust: the brand that “gets me” (Nike shift, Sephora demos) + Peloton misread14:20 – Framework for competence: Why → What → Where (myth-bust, demo, direct CTA)17:30 – Example: 30-sec tax advisory myth-buster → LinkedIn/Reels → consult link → track AOV20:10 – Proximity trust: employees, in-place context, show real proof (DSW AR, Starbucks, Apple)24:10 – Employee content > celebrity polish; make it authentic, even shot on phone26:00 – 14-day Trust Sprint and MAP recap; why proximity is overlooked yet most scalableTakeaways for OperatorsStop chasing linear funnels; engineer trust in-channel so action can happen immediately.Use Why → What → Where to collapse steps: name the pain, show the fix, drop the link.Turn staff into a media network: People → Place → Proof with incentives and simple tracking.Localize by currency, domains, visuals, accents, micro-influencers—it quietly multiplies conversion.Run a 14-day sprint: baseline CAC/AOV → recruit 3 customers + 3 insiders → record shorts →...

When the battle comes to your doorstep, are you the man in the arena or just another voice from the couch? In week three of Toy Stories, Scott Nickell sat down on The Cutting Room Floor to unpack what didn't make it into his sermon. From David's courage to Saul's passivity, from critics to shepherds, Scott walks through four pictures of masculinity we all live out and only one of them reflects Jesus.  This week's challenge: Ask yourself, “Who in my life is hurting because I'm not protecting them?” Then do something about it.  Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell What We Discuss: Four pictures of masculinity: the bully, the critic, the soft king, and the good shepherd  Why Saul's passivity was more dangerous than Goliath's strength  The overlooked influence of David's older brother What it means to be the “man in between” like Jesus  Warrior-poets and the power of tenderness + toughness  Why initiative is central to biblical manhood  Competence vs. calling: why courage matters more than skill  The power of stepping up, even when you've failed before  About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky.

We dive into using data that drives action (not dashboards for show), ditching punitive KPIs in favor of trust and dialogue, and ending the race to the bottom in procurement by focusing on real value. It's a masterclass in building a proud, high-performing airport community.

Have you ever felt pressured to prove your worth? This devotional from Sylvia Gunter's You Are Blessed in the Names of God reminds us that the treasure isn't our achievements but God's power within us. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:7, we are like fragile clay jars chosen to display His strength. Our identity is received, not earned, and our talents are gifts to steward, not proof of value. As Ephesians 2:10 affirms, we're created for good works only we can fulfill—free to be exactly who God designed us to be. When we embrace this purpose, we find freedom, fulfillment, and the joy of being exactly who we were created to be.

When you board a plane, you trust the pilot to get you safely to your destination. Shouldn't you be just as careful about who advises you on your financial future? Financial guidance isn't just about numbers—it's about trust, worldview, and values. The right advisor can help you make decisions that align with your faith and priorities.Every advisor brings a worldview to the table. Too often, cultural definitions of success revolve around accumulation alone. But biblical stewardship points higher—toward faithfulness, contentment, and generosity. That's why this choice is not only financial—it's spiritual. You're entrusting someone with influence over how you manage God's money, and that requires discernment.Clarify What You NeedBefore beginning your search, determine what type of help you're looking for. Do you need comprehensive planning—covering retirement, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and generosity—or just investment management? Do you want a one-time plan or an ongoing relationship? The clearer your goals, the easier it will be to evaluate fit.One of the most important questions to ask is whether your advisor is a fiduciary, legally obligated to put your interests first. Compensation models vary:Commission-based advisors earn by selling products, which may create conflicts of interest.Fee-based advisors charge fees but may also receive commissions.Fee-only advisors are paid solely by clients, helping ensure objectivity.No matter the model, insist on full transparency about fees and expenses.Credentials and CharacterCredentials demonstrate an advisor's training and licensing, but character matters just as much. Evaluate potential advisors in three areas:Values – Do they share your biblical worldview?Competence – Do they have the training and experience to serve families like yours?Process – Can they explain how they build a financial plan and how they are compensated?A Practical Process for Finding the Right AdvisorBuild a shortlist – Ask trusted friends, family, or church leaders for recommendations. Explore advisors who share biblical values, like Certified Kingdom Advisors® at FindaCKA.com.Do a background check – Verify licenses, review disclosure documents, and check for disciplinary history.Interview at least three advisors – Treat this like a job interview. You're hiring for a critical role.Request a written scope and fee schedule – Get clarity in writing.Pray and take your time – Don't let anyone pressure you into quick decisions.When meeting with potential advisors, ask:“How are you compensated? Please outline every fee and expense.”“What role does faith play in your financial advice, and how do you define success?”“What's your process for creating a financial plan or investment strategy?”Proverbs 11:14 reminds us: “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”Red Flags and Green LightsBe alert for warning signs such as:Promises of unrealistic performanceVague answers about feesPressure to move assets quicklyLook instead for encouraging signs:Transparent communicationA listening-first approachAdvice that integrates faith and family prioritiesThe right advisor depends on your season of life. Young families may need guidance on budgeting, insurance, and college savings, while retirees often seek tax-efficient withdrawals, income strategies, and estate planning. Ask potential advisors about their typical clients to see if their expertise aligns with your needs.Keeping Faith at the CenterA trusted advisor can help you avoid mistakes, manage taxes, stay disciplined during market swings, and design a generosity plan that reflects your calling. Most importantly, the right advisor will keep your focus on faithfulness, not just finances—helping you honor God with every decision.If you're ready to seek biblically wise financial advice, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor®.

How can a person who's clearly lucid still be deemed incapable of making their own medical decisions? The answer lies in the misunderstood yet critical distinction between competence and decision-making capacity. While these terms are often used interchangeably in clinical settings, they carry vastly different meanings in law and medicine—differences that can determine whether a patient is treated, restrained, or left alone. In this episode, we explore how doctors can (and should) assess capacity, the legal boundaries of competence, and how not to get destroyed on the witness stand. Finally, we unpack a story involving a dog, a scrotum, and a tour of Colorado's emergency departments.Guest Bio: Rich Orman began his legal career as a public defender before moving into private practice. He soon joined the district attorney's office, where he spent most of his career and ultimately rose to the position of deputy district attorney. Over three decades in the courtroom, he tried some of the most complex and high-profile cases in the state. After retiring from law, Rich turned to filmmaking. He is the writer and director of the critically acclaimed Boundary Layer.

Welcome back to Belk on Business! I'm Josh Belk, and today we're stepping away from our usual tax law breakdowns to talk about something just as essential—ethics and professionalism. Inspired by a deep dive into IRS Circular 230, I unpack three foundational principles that every business owner and professional should embody: competence, diligence as to accuracy, and handling conflicts of interest.This episode isn't just for accountants—it's for anyone who wants to lead their business with integrity, build trust, and make sharper decisions. If you're serious about being the kind of leader people respect and rely on, this one's for you.3 Key TakeawaysCompetence Builds Trust: It's not just about passing tests—real competence means staying current, asking for help, doing the research, and being thorough in every process.Accuracy Demands Diligence: Whether you're working with numbers or clients, accuracy starts with asking the right questions and ends with meticulous documentation and reasonable care.Conflicts of Interest Can Derail Trust: Recognizing, disclosing, and properly managing conflicts is essential to maintain fairness, trust, and professional integrity.Episode Timeline & Highlights[0:00] – Why this episode is different: stepping into ethical principles from IRS Circular 230[1:20] – What Circular 230 means for tax professionals—and business owners[2:05] – The importance of competence and continuous learning[3:07] – Knowing when to ask for help and delegate[4:34] – Legal and procedural knowledge is essential in every business[5:26] – Incompetence undermines trust—don't fake what you don't know[7:17] – Diligence as to accuracy: asking the right questions and verifying info[8:17] – Real-world examples of documentation, thoroughness, and AI pitfalls[10:27] – Understanding the nuance of each client's unique situation[11:07] – Recognizing and resolving conflicts of interest in professional settings[12:34] – Ethical behavior promotes fairness, trust, and decision-making clarity[13:23] – Final thoughts on making decisions based on merit, data, and systemsLinks & ResourcesIRS Circular 230 Guidance: https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/circular-230If this episode resonated with you, be sure to rate, follow, and review Belk on Business.

Would you rather be liked—or be true to yourself? It sounds simple, but what happens when staying true to your values could cost you your job, your marriage, your faith community, or your friendships? In today's episode of The Virtual Couch Presents, Tony Overbay, LMFT, dives into the real difference between character (the traits others see in us) and integrity (the alignment of our actions with our deepest values). Through stories pulled from the legal world, faith communities, workplaces, friendships, and even the messy reality of parenting, Tony explores how external validation can pull us away from who we are—and how emotional maturity, self-determination, and values-based living bring us back home to ourselves. You'll hear about billion-dollar law firms making impossible choices, parents navigating the tension between community expectations and their child's authenticity, and why even a heated debate over pizza sauce in a Hot Pocket can reveal where integrity really lives. At the end of the episode, stay tuned for a short guided meditation to help you connect with your own values and discover how to live them out with integrity. And don't miss the chance to grab a cheat sheet of this episode and Tony's Values Exercise, a simple but powerful tool to help you start discovering who you truly are.

AI can do a lot, but it's ineffective when it comes to building relationships with prospects. Even though creating connections is important, most sellers tend to struggle with this. I invited my guest, Ravi Rajani, a sales coach and author of Relationship Currency, to join me in this episode to discuss his newest book. He shares what inspired him to write this book and why sellers need to focus more on building relationships to create strong pipelines.The Origins of "Relationship Currency"· To start, Ravi discusses what inspired him to write his first book. He shares a funny story about talking to his mentor about the idea of writing a book while having a second baby on the way. · Looking back on his career and life, he noticed how much his relationships influenced his success. He learned that by building trust and communication skills, other sellers can achieve the same success.The Central Role of Trust· Would you be friends with your bestie if you didn't trust them? Your prospects feel the same way when it comes to doing business with you. · Trust is the glue that holds relationships together. In his book, Ravi talks about the "Three Cs" of trust:o Connection (the emotional bond)o Character (your invisible values)o Competence (showing expertise without being overbearing)· You need all three to establish lasting trust, whether with clients, colleagues, or partners.The Art of Listening and Empathetic Questions· Ravi explains how surface-level questions yield surface-level relationships, but conscious questions develops deep relationships. · A “conscious question” is rooted in positive intent and service. For example, instead of “How are you?” ask something you know the other person is emotionally invested in.Five Habits to Build Relationship Currency· Here are the five habits that help build the Three Cs:o Transform Your Internal Story: The relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for all others.o Ask Conscious Questions: Rooted in service and positive intent; paired with deep listening.o Unearth Your Charisma: True charisma makes others feel significant.o Tell Stories That Inspire Change: Especially social proof stories—show, don't tell.o Become the Trusted Guide: Help others achieve their goals without self-interest, bringing all habits together.Ravi's Advice for Leaders: Model the Change· If you want your team to be more passionate or authentic, you need to model that energy and intention yourself.· Reinforce these behaviors by acknowledging team members who practice them.· Genuine compliments go a long way—they activate the same brain areas as financial rewards!“I believe that the only currency that has mattered is relationships. And the only currency that will matter moving forward is relationships, especially in a world increasingly being shaped by AI.” - Ravi Rajani.ResourcesRavi RajaniBook | Speaker, Coach & Consultant | Ravi RajaniRavi Rajani's mission is to help B2B tech sales teams ditch feature dumping for storytelling so they can get their prospect's attention, become trusted advisors and win more relationships.Sponsorship Offers1.

I was recently reading an article about The Great British Baking Show - or Bake Off, as we fans of this fun TV competition call it. It was written by someone who had been on the show, one of the competitors, and they were talking about how looking at the show from the inside made them realize something profound: there are no real amateurs anymore.Not only is that changing the media landscape, it also affects what businesses are needed to serve what has replaced them.

In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, Natalie Born sits down with Dr. Scott Hutcheson, biosocial scientist, senior lecturer at Purdue University, and author of Biohacking Leadership. Scott blends his academic expertise with real-world experience advising organizations—from startups to the White House—to uncover how biology shapes leadership and team performance. Drawing from both personal health insights and decades of research, Scott introduces “leadership biodynamics,” a model that reframes executive presence into measurable signals of warmth, competence, and gravitas. With 18 behavioral biomarkers and a practical diagnostic framework, leaders can finally translate the vague idea of presence into actionable skills that inspire trust, connection, and results.
