If you run a team, a company or another organization, Culture above all else Drives your Success.  And you have to Truly KNOW your people to build and sustain a winning culture.   Highlights Empower your subordinates (employees; teammates) so they take the action you'd take, not ask ‘what should I do?' Breed Readiness and Competency; the process I used and share here is: Study – Discuss – Role Play – Simulate – Perform – Learn from it Checking the organization's Temperature often; have TWO independent ways to know what your people are thinking and what's going on. Build a Clear, Unbreakable Culture so your team clearly knows what the company and you stand for and every action supports this culture especially when you're not around.   Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/  gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/  https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360    Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here   Make sure you're subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.

In this exclusive episode of The Voice of Retail podcast, host Michael LeBlanc interviews Karl Haller, Partner at IBM Consulting and leader of their retail and consumer products center of competency, ahead of his highly anticipated keynote presentation at Retail Council of Canada's STORE2025 conference on June 3rd.With nearly 30 years of retail experience at brands including Brooks Brothers, Tommy Hilfiger, and Karl Lagerfeld, Haller brings unique insights at the intersection of retail business and technology to one of Canada's premier retail events.Haller, who will take the main stage following fellow keynote speaker Ira Kalish, positions AI as "the biggest transformation that any of us have seen in our careers," comparing its significance to the advent of computing in the 1970s. While acknowledging the hype surrounding AI, he maintains that we're in the early stages of a fundamental shift in how retail operates—a message he'll expand upon at the STORE2025 conference.When discussing strategy during uncertain times, Haller advises retailers to focus on action rather than extensive planning: "If you've got a million dollars to spend, spend a million dollars on 100 MVPs. Don't spend a million dollars on an AI strategy project because it's going to be out of date by the time you've done it." He recommends scenario planning with clear indicators that can guide decision-making in unpredictable environments.Looking at retail formats, Haller notes that success isn't determined by format alone but by how retailers innovate within their sector. He highlights Walmart's nimble approach to technology implementation, PepsiCo's management of their extensive logistics network, and innovative approaches from companies like Unilever and Kroger.The conversation culminates with Haller identifying four under-appreciated retail technology trends:Expanding AI beyond words, pictures, and code to work with numerical data like SKU forecasting, potentially reducing forecast error rates to low single digitsIntegrating AI with other technologies like computer vision, IoT devices, robotics, biometrics, electronic shelf labels, and retail mediaDeveloping an "operating system for AI" to manage the projected billion new applications by 2028Most critically, bringing people along on the technology journey through comprehensive training and continuous learningAttendees of STORE2025 can expect Haller to dive deeper into these insights during his keynote presentation, providing retail leaders with actionable strategies for navigating technological transformation while balancing innovation with practical implementatio Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels, most recently on the main stage in Toronto at Retail Council of Canada's Retail Marketing conference with leaders from Walmart & Google. He brings 25+ years of brand/retail/marketing & eCommerce leadership experience with Levi's, Black & Decker, Hudson's Bay, CanWest Media, Pandora Jewellery, The Shopping Channel and Retail Council of Canada to his advisory, speaking and media practice.Michael produces and hosts a network of leading retail trade podcasts, including the award-winning No.1 independent retail industry podcast in America, Remarkable Retail with his partner, Dallas-based best-selling author Steve Dennis; Canada's top retail industry podcast The Voice of Retail and Canada's top food industry and one of the top Canadian-produced management independent podcasts in the country, The Food Professor with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois from Dalhousie University in Halifax.Rethink Retail has recognized Michael as one of the top global retail experts for the fifth year in a row, the National Retail Federation has designated Michael as on their Top Retail Voices for 2025, Thinkers 360 has named him on of the Top 50 global thought leaders in retail, RTIH has named him a top 100 global though leader in retail technology and Coresight Research has named Michael a Retail AI Influencer.

Rick Lewis talks about the process that led him from being a performer and corporate events speaker to hosting an online writing program. Most everyone fashions a life that is obedient to our deepest fears. We carry stories about who we are and what is possible throughout life, having made unconscious decisions in childhood that we will not engage in activities that could put us in touch with feelings such as shame or rejection. The highest expression of spirituality on some paths is to serve what is wanted and needed in the moment, but we cannot do this if constrained by stories we hold as part of our identity. Our stories remain hidden before we challenge them with action. Until then, we can only serve in the small ways that show up within our comfort zones. At a hinayana (solo path) level, telling stories about times when we have been reactive or unconscious is a way to study patterns so we can map out the territory and have an edge to act differently in the future. At a mahayana (path of service) level, sharing stories is a way to learn and develop connection and compassion. Human beings are wired to think in stories. We are designed to learn from problems and the biggest and most worthwhile problem we can take on is the spiritual path, which is about how to counter the story of separation. Telling our stories can nurture relationship and connection with ourselves and others. We can self-observe when various I's take over during storytelling. In a spiritual community, the degree of vulnerability and authenticity is set by the teacher. Most of humanity has a capacity and hunger for authenticity. The lack of acceptance of parts of ourselves that we project onto others can hold us back from being authentic. Rick Lewis is a national speaker and author of 7 Rules You Were Born to Break, The Perfection of Nothing, You Have the Right to Remain Silent, and other books.

In this no-fluff, straight-talk video, I break down what I consider the dumbest way to grow a wholesaling business—and what to do instead.After 12+ years in real estate and marketing, I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to. From cold calling to direct mail, RVMs to SMS blasts—I've tried it all. The truth? It's not about the strategy, it's about your execution, focus, and consistency.❌ Spreading yourself too thin across multiple markets and lists?❌ Chasing trendy marketing tactics instead of mastering one channel?❌ Getting leads but struggling to close them?It's time to simplify, focus, and dominate ONE marketing strategy. Whether it's cold calling, foreclosures, or absentee owners—simplicity scales, complexity fails.

In this second episode of our five-part series on the EVA Podcast, we dive deeper into the world of competency, clarity, and leadership with Andy Clemson from Calibrate Learning & Calibrate Technology. Building on our first conversation, we shift gears to explore how organizations—especially in aviation—can redefine role expectations beyond a standard job description. Andy shares how technology-driven assessments help companies move from outdated, assumption-based evaluations to data-driven competency models that support growth at all levels. We tackle the challenge of self-assessment skepticism, the importance of genuine leadership, and how organizations can create a culture where employees feel safe to identify and improve their skill gaps. If you've ever questioned whether experience equals expertise or wondered how to break the cycle of overworked high performers and underutilized talent, this episode is for you! Learn how clear expectations, continuous feedback, and competency-based appraisals can transform workplace culture and drive long-term success.

In this shorter episode, Dr. O and Matt continue their discussion on the essentials of biblical counseling. Believers should take the mindset of a student and continue to learn more about God and His creation with the understanding that methods can make or break a counseling situation.

We talk a lot about differentiating instruction, measuring growth, and preparing students for the real world, but how do you actually do that in a system still driven by grades? Maybe you need a new model altogether. In this episode, we're exploring an approach to school called competency-based learning. I'm joined by three educators — Susie Bell, Heather Messer, and Beth Blankenship — who show us what this model actually looks like in classrooms. They share real teaching examples, how they assess growth over time, and how the Mastery Transcript Consortium supports this work. Thanks to Zearn and EVERFI for sponsoring this episode.

In this first episode of the Calibrate series on the EVA Podcast, host Chris sits down with Andy Clemson, co-founder of Calibrate Learning and Calibrate Technology, to explore how the aviation industry needs to rethink training and competency development. From the challenges brought on by COVID-19 to the outdated "tick-box" training models, Andy shares how Calibrate is shaking up traditional learning methods with a technology-driven approach that ensures real, lasting impact. They discuss why organizations must move beyond generic training programs, focus on critical competencies, and create an environment where employees feel valued and supported. With insights from military, logistics, and pharmaceutical training, this episode is packed with thought-provoking discussions on how the aviation industry can build a smarter, safer, and more effective workforce.

Our guests for Chapter One explain their struggle with understanding the standards of other people when implementing new practices for competency-based education. The faculty have tried to explain a continuous growth and development model, but students are still hearing, “You didn't perform well enough to pass.” What are the barriers to understanding how the students perceive the program, and how can we set them up for success when it's time to shift to a new mindset?

As Mary progresses through the four stages—from Unconscious Incompetence to Unconscious Competence—you'll see how this framework applies to any change you're working on, including drinking less, improving your mindset, or adding healthier habits to your routine.You'll walk away understanding:The 4 stages of the Hierarchy of Competency and why each one mattersWhat neuroscience tells us about habit formation and identity changeHow to identify which stage you're in—and how to move forwardWhy struggle is not failure—it's a necessary step on the path to peaceIf you're trying to change your relationship with alcohol, shift your mindset, or add a positive habit to your life, this episode will help you stop shaming yourself and start supporting yourself like a learner—not a perfectionist.What You'll Learn:Why “I know better, but I'm not doing better” is not a personal flawHow the Hierarchy of Competency explains the emotional rollercoaster of changeWhat behavior change research and neuroscience (including BJ Fogg and Lally et al., 2010) reveal about how long it really takes to form habits5 clear action steps you can take this week to keep moving forwardResources + Mentions:The Hierarchy of Competency model (originally attributed to Noel Burch, Gordon Training International)Research on habit formation by Dr. Phillippa Lally, University College LondonConcepts inspired by BJ Fogg's behavior model and the Stages of Change frameworkJoin the free Facebook group: Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking HabitsConnect with Molly:Email: molly@mollywatts.comWebsite: www.mollywatts.comReady to Go Deeper?Explore the Making Peace with Alcohol coaching program—designed to help you move from Conscious Incompetence to lasting transformation. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn, is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work, unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don't just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that's been overlooked for far too long. It's not just about getting a seat at the table—it's about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Send us a textRacial socialization competency refers to a parent's or caregiver's ability to communicate with their kids about race and to impart strategies for coping with racial discrimination, and the research shows that higher levels of competency are associated with better outcomes for Black children and youth. For this third Black History Month episode of Talking About Kids, I asked Dr. Riana Elyse Anderson to explain racial socialization competency, its components, and how it can be developed. Riana is an Associate Professor at Columbia University's School of Social Work and the developer of the EMBRace (Engaging, Managing, and Bonding through Race) program, racial socialization skills training for parent and caregivers. More information about Riana and the EMBRace program is at talkingaboutkids.com.
