Podcasts about Competence

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Emil Bove as a federal appeals court judge, a lifetime appointment to a perch one rung below the U.S. Supreme Court. Bove, who served as President Donald Trump's personal attorney, ascended to the top ranks of the Justice Department when Trump returned to office in January. Ahead of his Senate confirmation, he became the subject of multiple whistleblower complaints, with some alleging Bove told DOJ subordinates they may need to ignore court orders to enact Trump's agenda (Bove denies the allegations). Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe joins us to talk about what Bove's confirmation signals to the rank and file at the DOJ. He also weighs in on what's happening at his former agency right now and — maybe more importantly — what's not happening.And in headlines: President Donald Trump announced a new 25 percent tariff on India ahead of his Aug. 1 deals deadline, former Vice President President Kamala Harris announced she won't run for governor of California next year, and the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged for a fifth time this year.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In dieser besonderen Solo-Episode spreche ich über ein Modell, das mein Business-Mindset verändert hat – die “Four Stages of Competence”. Ich teile mit dir, in welcher Phase die meisten VAs aussteigen und wie du stattdessen mit Klarheit, Struktur und Leichtigkeit dranbleiben kannstKennst du das Gefühl, voller Motivation zu starten – nur um dann in einer Phase der Überforderung wieder auszusteigen?Ich nehme dich heute mit in ein Thema, das mich beim Lesen eines Finanzbuches wie ein Aha-Moment getroffen hat: die vier Lernphasen, die wir durchlaufen, wenn wir neue Fähigkeiten lernen – sei es beim Start in die virtuelle Assistenz, beim Businessaufbau oder beim Thema Finanzen.Ich teile meine ganz persönliche Erfahrung mit der “bewussten Inkompetenz”, einer Phase, in der viele aufgeben – obwohl sie so wichtig ist! Du erfährst:Warum du manchmal das Gefühl hast, du kannst „gar nichts“ – und warum das ganz normal istWie du dich emotional durch Lernblockaden navigierstWas dich wirklich in die Umsetzung bringt (Spoiler: Es ist nicht der nächste Kurs)Wie du deine Fragen sinnvoll strukturierst und Klarheit bekommstWarum du nicht alles allein schaffen musst – und wo du dir Support holen kannst„Kein Erfolg ohne Frust: Die Lernphase, in der du durchhalten musst.“„Nicht jedes Buch verändert dein Denken – dieses schon!“„Die meisten VAs scheitern nicht am Business – sondern an der eigenen Geduld.“„Was dir niemand sagt: Diese Phase ist die wichtigste beim Lernen!“Am Ende stelle ich dir außerdem VAPedia vor – mein Herzensprojekt für alle, die gerade starten und sich nicht durch endlose Webinare klicken wollen, sondern schnelle, klare Antworten suchen.

Live Q&A Calls with Bill Hartman at http://uhp.networkEpisode Overview In this episode, Chris and Bill scrutinize the “Four Stages of Competence” model — a familiar framework in coaching and skill acquisition that assumes learners progress linearly from ignorance to mastery. This discussion reframes learning as a dynamic reorganization of behavior in response to constraint, not a climb up a competence ladder.Key Topics & Chapter Highlights00:00 – Why We're Talking About “Learning”04:00 – The “Four Stages” Origin Story07:00 – Linearity vs. Complexity10:00 – “Incompetence” Isn't Incompetent14:00 – Coaching Without Context Fails18:00 – Behavioral Recognition Over Labels23:00 – You're Not Coaching a Blank Slate28:00 – The Limits of Cueing32:00 – Adaptive Behavior, Not Error36:00 – Evolving the Model (Again)41:00 – Interventions as Design, Not Correction45:00 – Wrapping Up: The System Solves ItselfKey Takeaways Movement — even if awkward or compensatory — reflects the best available solution to the system's current constraints. That's competence, just not your preferred version. Adaptation doesn't follow steps. It unfolds in response to pressure, structure, and context. That process is inherently non-linear. Labels like “incompetent” blind us to what's actually happening. Watch what people do. Understand what it's solving for.Models Should Breathe Even the quadrant model evolved through testing. If your model isn't helping you see clearly, evolve it — or discard it.

But what if kindness and genuine curiosity can break through those walls?Episode Topic Starts @ 15:49Kyle shares personal stories and explores how leading with respect and humility, rather than identity or ideology, can open doors to meaningful conversations.

Ever feel like bedtime (or just family life in general) is chaos? In this warm, honest episode of I’ll Do Better Tomorrow, Justin and Kylie share two powerful but simple parenting insights that can transform your family’s connection and calm. From spontaneous expressions of love to creating structured, soothing routines, you’ll walk away inspired to make small changes that lead to big results. KEY POINTS: Don’t wait for a “special moment” to show love. Tell your kids you love and appreciate them spontaneously, even in the middle of everyday moments. Structure creates calm. A consistent, enjoyable bedtime routine can lower resistance and help kids feel secure and settled. Competence matters. When children know what to do and what to expect, they feel more capable, cooperative, and happy. Even partial consistency is better than none. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it perfect — keep trying. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "Structure builds competence. Competence is a basic psychological need. When kids feel like they know what they're supposed to be doing and how to do it, they just feel better about life." — Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Parental Guidance TV Show, Episode 3 — airing Monday at 7:30 on Nine & 9Now. More parenting resources and articles at: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: 1. Pick a moment today to tell your child you love them and what they mean to you — unprompted.2. Create or refine a simple bedtime routine that includes calming, positive steps your child enjoys.3. Aim for consistency, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good — even small, regular steps make a difference.4. Notice and celebrate how structure and loving words improve the atmosphere in your home.5.

Life today is safer and more comfortable than ever before, so why do so many people feel unhappy, lonely, and anxious? Forrest talks with evolutionary psychologist Dr. William von Hippel about this paradox in light of our two core needs: autonomy and connection. He argues that modern life has pushed us too far in the direction of autonomy, and that we need to reclaim connection in order to find happiness.  They discuss how our evolutionary past shaped our needs for autonomy and connection, the tension between them, and why social connection matters so much for our well-being. They also touch on gender and cultural differences, common misunderstandings about evolutionary psychology, and what people can do to create more balanced and connected lives today. About our Guest: Dr. William von Hippel is an evolutionary psychologist and former professor at the University of Queensland. He has authored over 150 scientific publications including his books The Social Leap and The Social Paradox. Key Topics: 0:00: Why hasn't modern life made us happier? 3:20: The evolution of autonomy and connection 10:15: How modern life favors autonomy over connection 18:10: “Sad success stories,” and the cost of competence 20:00: Competence vs warmth as social signals 26:00: Evolutionary mismatch, and its impact on well-being 29:00: How to understand evolutionary psychology 34:00: Evolved gender differences in autonomy and connection 42:00: Balancing sociocultural and evolutionary differences 49:00: What do those gender differences look like in practice? 55:50: Finding a healthy balance between autonomy and connection 1:08:55: Recap Support the Podcast: We're now on Patreon!

The Truth About Confidence, Competence, and CalmIn this episode, I'm talking about the real truth behind three words that are at the heart of The Social Work Collective Academy: Confidence, Competence, and Calm.These aren't just buzzwords – they're the foundation for thriving in your first year as a social worker. I'm breaking down why confidence is often misunderstood (especially through a gendered lens), why competence is the key that so many new social workers are missing, and why calm is about regulation – not silence.You'll hear reflections, practical insights, and a bit of storytelling (yes, there's a Grease reference), plus how these values are built into every aspect of the Academy.Whether you're newly qualified or still studying, this episode will help you rethink what it means to feel ready for practice.

Cindy is a serial entrepreneur and champion for women's health and wealth. Over her 25+ year career in healthcare, she's built and sold two companies for over $1 billion, including Sprout Pharmaceuticals, where she launched Addyi, the first prescription drug for women's low libido and what many people call the “female Viagra.” She's now the founder of The Pink Ceiling, where she invests in and mentors women-led businesses breaking barriers in health, wellness, and beyond. In this week's episode, Cindy shares the lessons of building billion-dollar companies. She talks about why competence matters more than confidence, and how importance of taking the shot, even when you don't have all the answers.

Trump says he will no longer take advice from the Federalist Society, and Leonard Leo in particular, for judicial nominations.  The criteria he will use instead appear to be cause for great concern, and we discuss this. Meanwhile, the Senate is poised to bypass the filibuster for more than judicial nominations, which calls for an analysis that we provide.  And the publication this week of Charles Sumner: Conscience of a Nation brings its author, Zaakir Tameez, onto our podcast to speak to Sumner's enduring relevance.  CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

You've got the spotlight, Queen—but are you turning heads and closing deals? In this high-voltage episode, Kimberly Spencer uncovers the seductive trap of visibility without conversion—and why it's the business equivalent of ghosting after a first date. Whether you're a newly certified coach, bestselling author, or a podcast-hopping powerhouse, chances are you've been told, “Just get visible!” But babe, visibility alone is a vanity metric unless it's paired with a bold, intentional sales strategy. Kimberly dives into how visibility opportunities—like guesting on podcasts or showing up on social media—only convert when aligned with real relationships and sales confidence. You'll learn how to avoid the one-night-stand approach to podcast guesting and start courting your audience like a Queen on a mission. From the art of follow-up to confidently making paid offers, this episode is a mic-drop masterclass in strategy, storytelling, and stepping into your worth. If you're ready to stop chasing clout and start cashing in, this one's your royal wake-up call.

In this episode, I'm picking up on a topic we've been talking about—credibility, credentials, and who people choose to listen to. I've got a college degree in business from Pennsylvania State University, so I'm not speaking as someone who's against education. But I'm asking a real question today: does a college degree actually mean you're competent? Some folks with degrees might not like what I have to say, but I'm here to tell the truth. Let's not delay the inevitable. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [02:28]#1 Holding a college degree does not make you competent.  [10:47]#2 Having a degree or credential doesn't automatically make your words valid or worth following. [20:06]#3 Your argument should stand on its own merit, not on your credentials or resume.

This week Cam offers some insight to new college graduates on some basic workplace skills that will make them effective in their workplace. He's advised his clients for over twenty years on these things, maybe he should have something worthwhile to say. ----- My daughter graduated from college in May. After 20+ years advising companies and 7+ years interviewing workplace leaders on my What's Working with Cam Marston radio show and podcast, I realized I should have some useful advice for her—and others—stepping into the next chapter. This is lesson number one called Wisdom is more important than Smarts. You can follow the upcoming lesson on my Linkedin page. Last week, after giving a speech in Atlanta, a young man approached me with a familiar question: “How do I deal with my Gen Z employee who's been here a year and now wants a leadership role—or else he's leaving?” I've heard this one for about ten years. First, it was Millennials asking this of Gen X leaders. Now, it's Gen Z asking it of Millennials. So, what's changed? We raised our kids in a culture of constant praise and reward. We applauded nearly everything. They didn't ask for it—we gave it to them, believing it was the right thing to do. But it created expectations: follow the rules, don't mess up, and a reward will come. And while that may work in classrooms and sports, the workplace plays by different rules. Competence may get you in the game, but leadership requires wisdom. Wisdom isn't knowing how to do the job. It's knowing when, where, why, and with whom. It's built over time—by watching people, seeing how decisions ripple through teams, and understanding the bigger picture. Can wisdom be accelerated? Maybe—but only through pain and loss. A job falling apart. A serious illness. Hard-earned experience. And nobody wants that path. Wisdom teaches restraint: What not to say What not to email What not to escalate What attention not to attract Wisdom also teaches self-awareness: What do I do well? What energizes me? Where am I weak? What kind of feedback helps me improve? Even the smartest new hire with the highest GPA won't have those answers yet. Because wisdom requires time. There is no shortcut. No cheat code. In fact, the moment someone says, “I've been here a year; I'm ready to lead,” they reveal the very lack of wisdom that disqualifies them. So, for my daughter—and others in her shoes—here's what I'd say: 1. Focus on what you're learning. Beyond task lists, study people and power dynamics. What makes leaders effective and likable? Who persuades without authority—and how? Who's trusted? Who's not? Why? What subtle behaviors win or lose influence? 2. Build relationships. Meet people inside and outside your org. Listen deeply. Ask “why” a lot. And speak less—questions build more respect than fast answers. And finally: stop counting the days. Keep your head up. Watch closely. Learn quickly. Adjust often. Wisdom sneaks in when you least expect it—and that's what turns a worker into a leader. I'm Cam Marston an I'm just trying to keep it real.
