Words matter, and how words or phrases are used may present completely different meanings to diverse cultural demographics depending on topics like history and associated symbolic language. That's why having a leading bilingual female strategist such as Evelyn Pérez-Verdia on the side of truth in messaging is vital to organizations seeking to break down barriers with Latino communities. She is the Founder and Chief of Strategy for We Are Más, an organization focused on advising about diversity and translating culture, focusing on research, strategy, and creative communications. As a Hispanic small business owner, Evelyn has two decades of experience as an advisor to elections offices, grassroots groups, advocacy campaigns, and governmental agencies on messaging, communications, image, digital content, and micro-engagement. Recognizing her advocacy in protecting democratic organizations, Pérez-Verdia received the Woman of Impact Award in 2022 in Civics from the non-profit organization Mujeres Latinas Impulsando a Mujeres Latinas. She is also part of the University of South Florida's Dean's Advisory Council and the Department of State's U.S. Speaker's Program, giving workshops to journalists and civil society leaders in Latin America. When speaking to culturally diverse communities, the selection of words used in messaging means a lot. We talked about words often used by large national organizations in Washington, D.C., such as “Latinx” or “Progressive”, and how they can have the unintentional side effect of alienating different sections of the Latino community. She explained, “Yes, we have the Latinx, which the younger generations use, right? Where only 1.8% of Hispanics and Latinos, no matter the age affiliation, are like, I don't feel identified with that.” Similarly, she noted the word “progressive” may represent “progressista” as a term young Hispanics might find objectionable. “They manifested peacefully on the streets against the dictatorship of Hugo Chávez, of Nicolas Maduro, and they see this youth using exactly the symbolism, exactly the terms that the dictator in the country uses,” she said. This is hugely important for all activists to listen to this interview! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Are we Rome yet? It's become all too easy to compare contemporary America's woes with those of late republican Rome. And even easier to argue that the democracy destroying Donald Trump is the second coming of Julius Caesar. But according to the distinguished American classicist David Potter, author of Master of Rome, we've got Julius Caesar all wrong. Don't trust Cicero's version of Caesar, Potter warns. Julius Caesar was actually a friend rather than a foe of democracy—he wasn't even 'Caesarian' in the dictatorial sense we've come to associate with his name. Actually Caesar - with his veneration for the Roman state and his attention to detail - has much more in common with FDR than with Donald Trump. Rather than a warning, then, Julius Caesar offers a model for American politicians trying to rebuild democratic institutions and values in our populist age. 1. Caesar was more FDR than TrumpPotter argues Caesar was a competent, detail-oriented administrator who passed major social reforms (land redistribution, veteran benefits) to help ordinary Romans—much like Roosevelt's New Deal. Unlike Trump, Caesar valued facts, logistics, and effective governance.2. Roman "democracy" failed because elites stopped sharing powerThe Roman Republic collapsed not because of Caesar, but because the aristocracy concentrated wealth and excluded most Italians from citizenship despite promises of reform. Caesar emerged because the system had already broken down.3. Caesar was inclusive, not exclusionaryUnlike typical autocrats, Caesar integrated former enemies and conquered peoples (like the Gauls) into his system. He pardoned rivals like Cicero and promoted social mobility—even freed slaves could become citizens and rise to high positions.4. The "Caesarian" reputation comes from biased sourcesMuch of Caesar's tyrannical image comes from Cicero, who defended corrupt politicians and arbitrary executions when it suited him. Reading Caesar's own writings reveals a thoughtful strategist, not a bloodthirsty dictator.5. Competent authoritarianism beats incompetent democracyPotter's key warning: when democratic institutions fail to serve citizens, they'll accept strong leadership that delivers results. Caesar succeeded because he could actually govern—a lesson about the importance of making democracy work for everyone.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Episode 208A recent Ligonier survey of evangelicalism finds nearly 50% of processing Christians do not deem it important to share their faith with the lost. Nearly 50%! That is a topic for another day, but for the slight majority that do see the need to witness to others, many thousands feel they are hindered. The reasons may include a lack of equipping, a fear of not knowing what to say, or maybe even the fear of man. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we sit down with recurring guest Edward Thal, whose fascinating life is a testament to God's love and mercy, to discuss how we as believers can become effective soulwinners. Brother Thal reminds us, among other things, that a well-rehearsed script is not the effective way to win souls, but a wholehearted surrender to God is. Join us on this episode as he discusses these and more. May the Lord ignite in our hearts the same desire for the salvation of lost souls that the Bible clearly declares He has (1 Tim 2:4-6).Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI Apple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdEdifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsvYouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersChristian Books . com: https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574See all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates

About Philippe Johnson:Philippe Johnson is a retired United States Air Force officer and advocate for principled and ethical leadership in public service. The son of a language teacher and career United States Army officer, he was raised in the United States, France, and Germany. During his 24 years on active duty, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson served as a fixed- and rotary-wing pilot, intelligence officer, and diplomat (military attaché), and was honored with the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, and the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster. He also served on the staffs of two Air Force major commands as his final two assignments. Philippe received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Florida and earned his master's degree in public policy from the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Philippe Johnson discuss:Defining ethical leadership across diverse perspectivesNavigating unprincipled loyalty in power dynamicsRebuilding trust in a post-COVID, virtual workplaceCombating disinformation and the collapse of shared factsAligning values and ethics within polarized environments Key Takeaways:Ethical leadership must be embedded in leadership training from the start of one's career, or organizations risk producing senior leaders who cause significant harm.Self-interest and personality disorders (e.g., narcissism) are major contributors to non-compliance with ethical standards, both in military and corporate settings.Philippe's book uses recent political leadership as a case study to highlight the consequences of unethical, incompetent, and self-serving leadership behaviors.The normalization of disinformation undermines democracy, as without agreed-upon facts, there's no foundation for holding power accountable. "If you're lacking that ethical foundation from the very beginning… you're going to end up with senior leaders who, unfortunately, are not setting the example.” — Philippe Johnson Connect with Philippe Johnson: Website: http://www.philippejohnson.com/Book: What Hangs in the Balance: The Case for Principled, Ethical, Competent, and Courageously Selfless Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/What-Hangs-Balance-Principled-Courageously/dp/1637633491LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/formulaphil/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philippe.johnson.52 See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The Daily Pep! | Rebel-Rousing, Encouragement, & Inspiration for Creative & Multi-Passionate Women
Every once in a while we think someone left the floodlight on in the backyard, so I look outside the window to discover the floodlight isn't on - the moonlight is! It's one of those really impressive full-moon nights. The most beautiful one that my wife and I had, was when we were on vacation in the mountains. Our cabin was nestled in this quiet valley next to a gentle little stream. Not long after dark, I noticed that the valley was ablaze with light! The full moon was rising in the eastern sky and it was casting this celestial glow over everything. It was perfectly positioned in the sky to just totally illuminate the valley we were in. But then, something made me realize what I was really looking at, and I said as we stood on the porch in admiration, "You know, that moon really isn't producing any light at all. It's just reflecting the light of the sun." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Surprisingly Competent." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 2 Corinthians 3:18. Paul says, "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." Now as followers of Jesus Christ we're supposed to light our world. Right? God has positioned you where you work, or live, or go to school, or where you shop, to make a difference, a Jesus-difference by your love, joy, your Jesus-treatment of people. See, you're supposed to light up what would otherwise be a much darker environment. But we are like the moon; we have no glory of our own. This verse says we reflect Jesus' glory! He says it in another way in chapter 4, verse 7. "We have this treasure in jars of clay so that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." See, anything we do for the Lord, it's all God. Now we should be a lot brighter, I think, than we are. There are a lot of important things He wants to do through you, but maybe you're not making nearly the difference you should be making. It's probably because of one basic spiritual misunderstanding about who is the "sun" and who is the "moon." Maybe these are things you've been asked to do for the Lord, but you're afraid to say "yes" because you feel inadequate. You want people you're around to hear about Jesus, but you haven't said anything because you're afraid you'll mess it up. God is putting before you some ways He wants you to make a difference, but you keep shrinking back. But see, you're missing something. You're not the "sun." You don't have to produce the power, or the words, or the strength, or the light to pull it off. It's Jesus who does the work. He's only asking for you to be available. He knows you and I can't produce the light - that's His job! He just wants you to be in a position to reflect His light onto the people around you. Doesn't that take a lot of pressure off? That means you can help somebody be in heaven with you someday. In chapter 3, verse 5 in 2 Corinthians He says, "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent." See, you can dare to step up to responsibility that would be impossible if it depended on you. It doesn't. It depends on the Son of God! This "reflected" glory neutralizes our feelings of inadequacy and pride. Maybe you've begun to feel a little prouder of the kind of Christian you've been, or some of the things you've done for the Lord. News flash! You haven't done them! You are just - I am just - a glowing piece of rock. It's all Jesus, reflecting His glory through you. Why are you taking any credit for it? If the sun were to go out some full-moon night, we would immediately know where the light's been coming from all along and how little the moon has to do with it. The light of the Son of God never goes out, and He chooses to reflect in your valley, through your life, your personality, your abilities, and even your weaknesses. Isn't that amazing? You can light up your world with light that doesn't come from you, but from the very Son of God himself!
THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Smirks emerge quite quickly when you mention “role model” and “leaders” in the same breath. Most peoples' experiences with leaders as role models have been that they encompass the “what not do as a leader” variety. Hanmen Kyoshi (反面教師) or teacher by negative example, as we have noted in Japanese. What are some of the things we should be focused on in our quest to become a real role model for our teams? We can break the role model aspect into four major areas: Self-Aware; Accountability; Others-Focused and Strategic. Within these four categories, there are eleven sub-categories on which we are going to focus today. Do a mental audit on yourself and see how many boxes you can check, acknowledging that you are doing a good job. 1. Self-Aware covers a number of sub-categories: “Self-Directed”. Leaders have to give others direction, so they must be independent types who don't have to rely on others to know what to do. They have to be “Self-Regulated” which is a fancy pants way of saying they need strong personal discipline. The leader has to decide what needs to be done and then marshals everything needed to get the job done. This effort has to be sustained over time and that is where the self-discipline aspect kicks in. “Develop Self” talks about taking 100% responsibility for one's own career. Depending on others, or the company in general, to take care of your career is folly. We need to represent value to an employer, because if we don't, then we will be replaced by someone who does. The tricky thing about business is they keep moving the goalposts. What was required when you started and what is required today may be quite different. Scarily different. I see so many senior leaders and friends sacked by the organisation, despite many years of loyal and successful service. A new CEO arrives, a merger takes place or a new direction for the firm is set and the next thing you know, you are out. If you have been pursuing your own personal growth, then there is a safety factor involved there to enable you to weather the storms. If you have just been working hard, which is admirable, you are left tired and then on the street. “Confident” is a vague term, really. What actually defines being “confident”. We can recognise it more easily than we can articulate it. A leader who has confidence speaks in a certain way, with gravitas, with a certain finality. Hesitation never arises and the body language backs up the confident words. 2. Accountability is another area with sub-categories: “Competent” describes our capability to understand the business and do the work. Most people rise through the ranks, so they have done the jobs their staff are doing, so they know the content well. Changing jobs and entering as a mid-career hire can sometimes make the competence piece a challenge, though. We have to be a fast learner to build credibility. “Honesty and Integrity” are both problem sub-categories. Honesty is easier to gauge than integrity. We can see if you are honest and can measure it. However, while everyone says how important integrity is, defining it is a challenging task. Saying and doing what you say is a fundamental basis of demonstrating integrity, as is standing for higher ideals. How do you actually behave when no one is watching? 3. Others-Focused is a big sub-category and so not all aspects can be covered here, but we will focus on some key areas: “Inspiring” is in the eyes of the beholder, so as the boss, you have to create the environment where everyone can be inspired. We need to uncover what the range of views on the subject are amongst the troops, to get an idea of how we need to appeal to everyone's individual needs. This means making time to talk to people, rather than just barking out leader commands all day long. “Develops Others” means going beyond the managerial functions of everything done on time, to spec and to budget. We have looked at this earlier. It means putting time into coaching staff and giving them stretch tasks through delegation. Most people stay functionally at the manager level and never quite level up sufficiently to become a true leader. Whose fault is that? I would argue it is their boss who has failed them. The leader's job is to create other leaders, and every organisation is crying out for good leaders. “Positively Influences Others” is an all weather skill for leaders. Our grumpy mood, short temper, irritability can bring down the motivation of the team. Also, speaking ill of other divisions or sections to knit our own team together, a weak leader favourite, makes the team doubt the robustness of the organisation. “Effectively Communicates” sounds reasonable, except most leaders are not very good at speaking in public. They do not generate confidence in what they are saying by the unprofessional way in which they are saying it. The solution is simplicity itself: we need to get the training to master this attribute. 4. The last category we will cover here is Strategic. We will deal with just one sub-category “Uses Authority Appropriately”. We are talking about using our position power for good, rather than self-aggrandisement. Bossing people around to boost our own fragile ego and having the need for power over others is totally sad. We are given power to help our people do better - that is the only reason. So how was your self-audit? We now have a framework to place around the term “role model” and we know where we have more work to do. Always a good thing for a leader.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Talking to a young man lately who plays guitar and he plays on a worship team. I told him I was going to be teaching a short 2 hour class to the guitar players at our church… he interrupted me and said “I am a good guitar player… And they he said it again as if I did not believe him. I kindly nodded. Now he can play guitar and he can play some rock songs… but who knows if someone is good or not right? But when he asked me what exactly I was going to be teaching my guitar players on my worship team - the first thing I said was “Diatonic harmony”… which believe it or not if you are in fact a good guitar player you would know what that is. He stared at me blankly and asked what it was. I kindly assured him he was not in fact a good guitar player. Now I have told this young man as I tell many people - You may not like what I say to you, but I will never lie to you! EVER. I will try to say it nice… most of the time - but who else will be honest with you. And today what if you can't be honest with yourself because… well you just can't. Have you ever heard of the The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Blindness of the Incompetent Wheeler's lemon juice story inspired researchers David Dunning and Justin Kruger to study this phenomenon in greater detait. The research-ers were intrigued by the obvious difference in people's actual abilities and how they perceive these abilities. Dunning and Kruger hypothesized that incompetent people suffer from two types of problems · Due to their incompetence, they make flawed decisions (such as robbing a bank while covered in lemon juice). · They are unable to realize the fact that they make Flawed decisions. (Not even the video footage convinced wheeler of hjs inability to be invisible he claimed that it was faked ) The researchers tested the validity of these hypotheses on a sample of participants. First they laid out a test measuring their abilities in a certain domain (logical reasoning, grammar, and humor). Then, the par- ticipants were asked to assess how good their abilities were. The research- ers discovered two interesting findings The least competent people (labeled incompetent in the research) had a tendency to significantly overestimate their abilities. In fact, the less competent they were, the more they overestimated themselves. For example, the more painfully unfunny an individual was, the funnier they thought they were. this eftect was elegantly described by Charles Darwin years ago ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge' The second interesting finding was that the most competent participants had a tendency to underestimate their abilities. Their under- rated results can be explained by the fact that if a task seems easy to them, they will have the feeling that the task is easy even for other people. In another part of the experiment, participants had the possibility to review the test results of other people. They were subsequently asked to conduct a self assessment again. Competent participants realized that they were better off than they had thought. Thus, they modified their self assessments and began to evaluate themselves more objectively. So where am I going with this… David says something profound in Psalm 139:23-24 KJV. Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. David is not saying this as a type of challenge to God… ok, God see if you can find anything wrong in me. NO NO NO he is saying it as one who realizes he can't see everything in his life clearly. He knows that he is blind to many of the sins, flaws, inconsistencies and choices he makes that are not Godly. WHAT A POWERFUL INSIGHT TO KNOW YOU DONT HAVE INSIGHT. RIGHT? Meaning, how powerful it is to know that you don't know everything -especially about you.
