Join the University of Washington Surgical Palliative Care Team for their final episode of this series — a dual journal review and clinical challenges discussion on assessing medical decision-making capacity. Using Dr. Paul Applebaum's foundational framework, the team outlines the four key criteria for evaluating capacity and brings the topic to life through two contrasting standardized patient scenarios. This episode highlights why capacity assessment is not only relevant but essential for surgeons navigating complex, high-stakes decisions.  Hosts:  Dr. Katie O'Connell (@katmo15) is an associate professor of surgery at the University of Washington. She is a trauma surgeon, palliative care physician, director of surgical palliative care, and founder of the Advance Care Planning for Surgery clinic at Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, WA. Dr. Ali Haruta is an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Washington. She is a trauma and emergency general surgeon and palliative care physician. Ali recently completed fellowships in palliative care at the University of Washington and Trauma and Critical Care at Parkland.  Dr. Lindsay Dickerson (@lindsdickerson1) is a PGY6 general surgery resident at the University of Washington with an interest in surgical oncology.   Dr. Virginia Wang is a PGY3 general surgery resident at the University of Washington. Learning Objectives: 1.        Decipher the distinction between the terms “capacity” and “competence”.   2.        Describe the four criteria for assessing medical decision-making capacity presented in Dr. Paul Applebaum's article “Assessment of Patients' Competence to Consent to Treatment.” 3.        Apply the capacity assessment framework to real-world clinical scenarios in surgical practice.  References: 1.        Applebaum, PS. Assessment of Patients' Competence to Consent to Treatment. New England Journal of Medicine 2007; 357(18):1834-1840. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17978292/ 2.        Special thank you to Mr. Mark Fox for his acting contribution to this episode.

Keeping It Real with Cam Marston
Wisdom Is More Important Than Smarts

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.

Julie (SP/SO 1w2 126) says being an Enneagram One is like trying to control the lightning bolt you're riding. We talk about how her pursuit of competence — in painting, music, and even dog training — brought early success but gradually drained the joy from each pursuit. She shares what it's like to live in a body wired for precision and pressure, and how that rigidity eventually led to serious health issues after she threw herself into an activist cause. We explore how she navigates moral complexity not through rules, but through a somatic “yes,” and how her 2-fix allows her to “see people's souls.” Throughout the conversation, she highlights something rarely said about Ones: their sharp, absurd sense of humor that helps her stay connected to lightness and levity.

The electric revolution isn't coming—it's already arrived at your recycling yard. In this eye-opening conversation, Greg Aguilera of International Automotive Consulting shares crucial insights on safely handling high-voltage vehicles that every recycler needs to hear.As one of North America's first certified high-voltage technicians, Greg brings a wealth of experience from his journey that took him from the UK to China and finally to Toronto. He reveals a troubling pattern in the industry: recyclers either leave EVs untouched out of fear or handle them with dangerous complacency. Both approaches cost yards money and create safety risks.Greg challenges common misconceptions, pointing out that the term "EV" encompasses not just Teslas but any high-voltage vehicle—including that Prius sitting in your yard right now. "A Prius is just as dangerous as a Tesla," he emphasizes, predicting that within 2-3 years, recyclers will be purchasing more high-voltage vehicles than traditional ones.What sets his training apart is its focus on the complete recycling process. Unlike generic EV courses, Greg's program addresses recycler-specific challenges: receiving vehicles, yard storage, proper dismantling, component testing, and safe shipping. The hands-on approach ensures workers demonstrate actual competency with the tools they'll use daily.Greg also shares fascinating insights into emerging battery technologies that will transform the industry, including sodium-ion batteries that perform excellently in extreme cold and new energy-dense cells that could extend ranges from 350 to over 2,000 miles with the same size battery.Whether you're already handling EVs or wondering how to prepare your yard, this conversation provides practical guidance for staying safe, reducing component returns, and positioning your business for the electrified future. Connect with Greg through URG or directly at www.intautoconsulting.com to bring specialized EV training to your facility.

What usually holds you back from starting a conversation? Can you remember a time you avoided someone out of fear of saying the wrong thing? Jay sits down with behavioral researcher and bestselling author Vanessa Van Edwards for a powerful conversation that blends science, honesty, and so many surprising moments. Vanessa, who refers to herself as a “recovering awkward person,” shares how her biggest social struggles became the driving force behind her mission to crack the code on human connection. Together, Jay and Vanessa dive into the fascinating world of charisma, exploring the 97 cues, from eye contact to tone of voice, that quietly shape how we’re seen and understood. Vanessa breaks down why so many of us feel overlooked or underestimated—and introduces “signal amplification bias,” a concept that explains why the signals you think you’re sending might not be landing the way you expect. Vanessa shows us how confidence isn’t always something you’re born with but something you can build, with intention and awareness. The conversation goes even deeper as they unpack the tricky balance between warmth and competence, especially for women in the workplace, and how vulnerability isn’t a weakness, but often your greatest strength. They explore how to create those magic “me too” moments that form instant connections, spot the hidden red flags in communication, and let go of the need to be liked by everyone in order to be truly seen by the right people. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Make a Great First Impression Without Saying a Word How to Break the Ice with a Simple “Hey” How to Balance Warmth and Competence in Any Conversation How to Create Connection Using “Me Too” Moments How to Exit a Conversation Gracefully (Without Offending Anyone) How to Spot a Liar Using Body Language and Micro-Expressions How to Ask Better Questions That Spark Real Conversations How to Recognize the Difference Between Charisma and Manipulation Whether you struggle with social anxiety, want to level up your leadership presence, or are just tired of surface-level small talk, this episode is packed with practical tools and uplifting wisdom to help you connect with more authenticity and power.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Ever wonder why 90% of personal trainers quit within their first year? The answer lies not in their fitness knowledge but in their approach to sales. This eye-opening episode dismantles the myth that great trainers don't need to be salespeople and reveals why embracing your role in sales is essential for career longevity.Through engaging stories and practical examples, we explore the Four C's framework that transforms awkward sales conversations into authentic value propositions: Competence in your craft, Confidence in your delivery, Control of the consultation, and consistent Contact with prospects. You'll witness firsthand how these principles apply through real-world scenarios, from signing new clients to handling common objections like "it's too expensive" or "I need to talk to my partner."The most powerful revelation comes in understanding the core emotional motivations behind every fitness goal. Beyond surface-level desires to lose weight or gain strength, clients ultimately want to look better naked, perform better physically, or live without pain. By connecting your services directly to these fundamental needs, you'll create irresistible value that clients can't find elsewhere.Whether you're struggling with sales conversations or simply want to elevate your client acquisition strategy, this episode provides actionable techniques to shift from transactional thinking to relationship building. You'll discover why the most successful trainers focus on long-term client retention rather than quick closes, and how adding value at every interaction builds a sustainable practice.Ready to transform your approach to fitness sales and build a thriving career?

The Hoover Institution Center for Revitalizing American Institutions webinar series features speakers who are developing innovative ideas, conducting groundbreaking research, and taking important actions to improve trust and efficacy in American institutions. Speaker expertise and topics span governmental institutions, civic organizations and practice, and the role of public opinion and culture in shaping our democracy. The webinar series builds awareness about how we can individually and collectively revitalize American institutions to ensure our country's democracy delivers on its promise. The seventh session discussed Building Strategic Competence: An Urgent Priority for Government and the Academy with H.R. McMaster and Stephen Kotkin on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, from 10:00 - 11:00 am PT. We might define strategic competence as the ability to integrate all elements of national power and efforts of like-minded partners to advance US interests. The nation needs leaders who can think in real time and understand what it takes to implement ideas and strategies on the ground. The academy has an important role in educating leaders to compete effectively in war and in competitions short of war. A reinvigoration of history in higher-level education is particularly important, as many courses in diplomatic and military history have been displaced by theory-based courses, which tend to mask the complex causality of events and obscure the cultural, psychological, social, and economic elements that distinguish cases from one another. Some theories risk sapping students of strategic empathy and encourage them to reduce complex problem sets into frameworks that create only the illusion of understanding. A growing interest in applied history in some universities is a promising development.

Dr. Laura welcomes Saijal Patel, Founder and CEO of Saij Wealth Consulting, to a conversation about finance and financial literacy, especially in regards to women. Saijal promotes empowering women's financial independence and security. She has over two decades of experience in the financial industry in both North America and Asia to draw upon. Saijal's drive comes from seeing the unique challenges women face in managing personal finances and understanding how money works. Saijal and Dr. Laura address the stigma that surrounds talking about money and the belief that money causes problems. Saijal firmly believes it's the values people hold that manifest through money and that money itself is neither good nor bad. She notes that financial education and wellness address voter literacy through empowerment and understanding of governments' financial decisions, and also tackle one of the greatest sources of stress for people. Saijal and Dr. Laura examine what Saijal's course offers, the lack of good money mentorship growing up, and how to view and visualize abundance in our lives.“I have found with women that I'm educating, that for some reason society has told them and they have bought into this belief that ‘I need to be confident.

Episode Summary: In this episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos sits down with Mark Katlic, MD, the chair emeritus of surgery for LifeBridge Health System in Baltimore, Maryland. Katlic opens up about his illustrious career, the creation of the Aging Surgeon Program, and the essential topic of maintaining surgical competence as surgeons age. The Aging Surgeon Program: The program addresses the critical issue of age-related competency in the surgical field. It offers a comprehensive and unbiased evaluation that assesses the physical and cognitive functions of surgeons over the age of 70. Aimed to ensure the ongoing safety and proficiency of aging surgeons, it identifies treatable or reversible conditions that, if addressed, could enhance their functional capacity. By fostering a culture of self-regulation within multidisciplinary surgical teams, the program helps maintain public trust in the healthcare system. Key Points: - The necessity of avoiding a mandatory retirement age, as individual capabilities can vary widely. - The role of strict confidentiality protocols in identifying and addressing issues that might affect a surgeon's performance. - Potential solutions that modify work conditions, allowing experienced surgeons to continue contributing without compromising safety or forcing retirement. About Mark Katlic, MD: Katlic pursued education at Washington and Jefferson College, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and Massachusetts General Hospital. His extensive career spans private practice, general and thoracic surgery, and academic positions at Geisinger Health System and LifeBridge Health System. Tune in to this insightful episode to learn how the Aging Surgeon Program is making a difference in the surgical community. Learn more about the American Association for Physician Leadership.

In this week's podcast episode 201. Confidence Reminders, I'm diving deep into the concept of confidence - and spoiler alert, it's probably not what you think! As a mission coach, I've noticed how many missionaries and returned missionaries struggle with feeling confident, especially during big transitions. I'm sharing a powerful realization I had during a coaching session that completely transformed how I understand confidence, and I can't wait to break it down for you. What if confidence isn't about looking or feeling perfect, but about being willing to feel uncomfortable? I'll walk you through my definition of self-confidence, which is all about embracing those nervous, anxious, and uncertain feelings instead of running from them. We'll explore the critical difference between competence and true confidence, and I'll give you five key reminders that will help you tap into your inner strength, no matter what challenge you're facing. Whether you're preparing for a mission, currently serving, or navigating life after your mission, this episode is for you. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review.

Polls are funny things at the best of times, and despite plenty of evidence that they can be as wrong as they can be right, we still seem fascinated, if not obsessed, by them. There are two races at the moment being heavily polled: Australia and Canada. Canada votes this Monday, Australia in a couple of weeks. Canada is more interesting, if for no other reason than the incumbents were losing by so far it wasn't funny, but are now leading. The PM quit and the new bloke, Carney —who once ran the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England— is now chasing the top job. On the surface, that change of leadership might have played a part in voters' minds – Trudeau was past his used-by date in a Jacinda Ardern “loved then hated” kind of way. More likely, south of the border, Trump got elected, tariffs became an issue, and Carney looks like the person who can better stand up to America. Polling out yesterday says the Conservatives are closing as people refocus on local issues like housing and cost of living, but the gap is still 12 points. Which is an amazing swing given the gap was 20 points the other way until tariffs stole the headlines. Meantime, in Australia it's gone from a race where the incumbent would be lucky to survive, far less thrive. Where a hung parliament was probable, requiring any number of accommodations with Greens and Teals and Independents, given a minority was the best Albanese could hope for, to what increasingly looks like an easy romp home with a majority. Marginal seat polling out yesterday shows Labor with a 3.5% swing in the past week. Another poll had 45% of voters saying they didn't like Dutton's personality, therefore wouldn't vote for him. Competence, cost of living, that apparently doesn't count. You look at him, you don't like him, he's toast. It hardly seems a sophisticated way to decide the future of your nation, but then that's democracy, isn't it? One argument says Albo should win —first term governments don't lose— haven't since the 30s. But Canada, if the polls are right, that would be a victory from the ashes. What happens in another country is so profound: the party that was getting thrashed has their fortunes completely reversed. That's one for the history books.

Tarina and Nic spent time with Elle and Cruze over spring break. Nic comments on how expensive it is to feed his son, the carnivore. Not even the beans and rice at Chipotle.

Together they discuss Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers and the 10,000-hour rule—and how you have to put in the time. The important example from the book are the Beatles and how they had performed 1200 live concerts before going big. “What we don't see,” Nic says, “is the hours of time, the headache, the practice that it takes to be great at what you do.” He recalls his conversation with Manley Feinberg and the training work he did for Menards. As Manley said, putting in the reps made him a more successful speaker. Tarina talks about the book Grit Don't Quit—and what to do in the waiting. “Get out. Work out. Clean out.” Paying your dues requires wisdom to reach mastery, but it's not just about being skilled in a trade. Competence also means working on yourself.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Chris Beresford-Hill is the Worldwide Chief Creative Officer at BBDO. Previously he spent 2 years as North America President and CCO of Ogilvy, where he helped bring the agency and its clients a new level of relevance. He brought Workday to the Super Bowl, led the team that brought in the Verizon account, and one of the biggest Super Bowl campaigns ever, “Can't B Broken,” featuring Beyonce, and created the most celebrated Super Bowl campaign of 2024, the social & influencer lead "Michael CeraVe," for CeraVe. Chris and his teams have won every award for creativity and effectiveness many times over. He has been included in ADWEEK Best Creatives, the ADWEEK 100, and Business Insider's Most Creative People in Advertising. Notes: Cold Emails: Be specific in your praise and specific in your ask. The lame "Can I pick your brain" type emails get deleted and ignored because they aren't specific. You never need permission to take responsibility. Chris learned this from Ed Catmull's book Creativity Inc.… And he's embodied this his entire career. The people who build huge careers take ownership of their own and regularly solve problems and improve their clients' and colleagues' lives. Chris has done this since his early days as an intern. At any level taking on responsibility yourself, unasked, makes you stand out. Competence combined with insane follow-through. For some clients, it takes 50 ideas to get to the one that will work. Creating a culture where the team can share all of their bad ideas safely to get to the one great one. The creative process: Brain dump everything. Purge your brain of everything it has. When you think you're done, you're not. There's more. You have to get it all out. "A lot of creative people aren't fully aware of the process or the structure, they just feel it (Rick Rubin). "When you can see it lift off the page, you feel a sense of mastery over it." Chris's first Super Bowl commercial -- Emerald Nuts. He won it because he was both funny and added the fact that the product provided energy. Most people only covered one part, Chris did both. Push your edges - Chris is like Lionel Messi. He's always walking around in the office, asking questions, looking for ideas, being curious. Then he sees an opportunity and goes for it 100%. Chris has a standing reservation every week at the same restaurant where he meets with a mentor, mentee, or peer to deepen the important relationships in his life. That would be a good idea for us all to do. Chris was pen-pals with Dave Matthews for 8 years.  Chris saw that they recorded at Bearsville studios and wrote a letter to Dave there. He also said, "Show up with gifts." He gave Dave a Beatles Bootlegged album. A leader takes what comes and then turns it into an opportunity. The formula is Competence + Insane Follow-Through. How to build relationships: Meet with people in person. Get drunk with them. Do hard work with them. Go through something bad with them. Laugh with them. I got hired from my internship by cold calling Mark Cuban to get him to approve of using his name in an ad. The best ideas are often bad in their first moments, or massively wrong, and then someone flips it or unlocks it. You have to stay on things and play around. I made my first ad by going through a garbage can to learn how to write a script and sending a bunch of Budweiser scripts to my boss. The art of finding an idea on the edge of possible, and the value of going over your skis when on the cusp of greatness - having a stomach for it. I've told a lie to keep things moving on every great campaign I was part of. I learned the best lesson in leadership when we lost our biggest account (Accenture).  I put Danny Meyer's mentality into practice, and we took that moment to put the business and clients second and play for each other. Culture carried us. Culture is built by the stories we tell and the behaviors we highlight.
