Anh Vu: The Hidden Cost of Skipping Scrum Ceremonies Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Anh shares his experience as a new Project Manager who was confident about understanding Scrum but quickly discovered the complexity of implementing it effectively. His team's daily meetings turned into lengthy debates about solutions, consuming excessive time and energy, leading team members to complain about meeting overload. When the team suggested moving discussions to Slack to avoid meetings, this created new problems with missed insights and additional coordination challenges.  Anh explains how they fell into the "Scrum-but" anti-pattern, where teams claim to use Scrum while avoiding its core practices. The real learning came when he realized that successful framework implementation requires connecting core values with mechanics - for example, linking transparency from Scrum values to actual practices. His key insight: always share the "why" behind everything you do, and remember the Shu-Ha-Ri principle - make it work first before making changes. Self-reflection Question: How might you be unconsciously implementing "framework-but" patterns in your current role, and what core values should you reconnect with your daily practices?

In this episode, we break down the real meaning of branding and why it's the sum of every experience, every touchpoint, and every memory people have with your practice. Danielle shares some fantastic insights on how to go beyond just visuals—like logos and colors—and focus on the details that truly matter, from the way your team answers the phone to the scent in your waiting room. We talk about the three core branding questions every practice owner should ask before even thinking about design: What problem do you solve? How do you solve it differently? And who do you solve it for? Danielle also walks us through how to find your emotional core by channeling your “inner toddler” and asking “why” until you get to the heart of your brand's purpose. We also dive into the importance of backing up your brand promises with real action, the difference between brand promises and core values, and why being authentic and consistent is key to building trust with both clients and your team. Danielle shares some great examples of employer branding, showing how practices can attract the right team members by being clear about who they are—and who they're not. We cover how to maintain brand consistency as you scale, the importance of ongoing brand management, and how to keep your messaging human and specific in the age of AI. If you're wondering when to start thinking about branding, Danielle's advice is clear: the sooner, the better—ideally before you even open your doors. We also talk about why it's okay (and actually necessary) to be picky about the clients you attract, and how serving everyone can actually hurt your brand in the long run. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your practice's brand to the next level, this episode is packed with actionable tips, real-world examples, and expert advice to help you build a veterinary brand that resonates and endures. Tune in to learn how to create a brand that's more than just a logo—it's a lasting promise to your clients, your team, and your community.

Leading with Flexibility in Uncertain Times with Kevin EikenberryIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Kevin Eikenberry, Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group and author of Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence. Kevin shares timely insights on how today's leaders can thrive amid volatility by staying grounded in their values while adapting their strategies. From navigating change to investing in leadership development, this episode offers a practical roadmap for leaders who want to lead with confidence and clarity—even when the future is unclear.How to Lead with Confidence in a Volatile WorldKevin emphasizes that modern leadership isn't about always having the answers—it's about being agile, values-driven, and committed to continuous learning. Drawing on decades of coaching leaders, he shares how embracing flexibility doesn't mean abandoning structure. Instead, it means having deep roots (your values) and being able to bend (your strategy) when the winds of change blow. Leaders must separate their identity from their roles and build adaptive thinking into their teams. He also introduces the metaphor of a tree: stable at the roots, flexible in the branches—a model that resilient leaders should follow.Through candid conversation, Kevin and Josh explore how uncertainty can actually be a catalyst for growth. Leaders who acknowledge unpredictability, model transparency, and focus on what they can control are more likely to build trust and drive results. Kevin also warns against falling into the “leadership trap”—confusing your job title with your personal identity. Real leadership, he explains, comes from consistent values-based action, not positional authority.Finally, Kevin shares actionable strategies for building leadership capacity. He encourages leaders to invest in training, conduct value clarification exercises, and remain open to feedback. With tools like his free masterclass and The Remarkable Leadership Podcast, Kevin equips leaders to become more effective in both mindset and behavior. His ultimate message: Great leadership is less about control and more about creating clarity and consistency in how you show up for your team—even when everything around you is changing.About Kevin EikenberryKevin Eikenberry is the Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group and a globally recognized leadership expert, speaker, and author.

Episode Overview In this inspiring episode, Steve Stein sits down with acclaimed author and mindset expert Karen Salmansohn for an in-depth conversation about her upcoming book, “Year to Die for Life: How to Maximize Joy and Minimize Regret Before Your Time Runs Out.” Karen and Steve explore how mortality awareness can catalyze a life well-lived, waking us up from autopilot to tap into deeper authenticity, gratitude, and actionable joy. Key Topics Discussed Near Life Experiences vs. Truly Living: Karen explains how many of us go through our days on autopilot—scrolling mindlessly, distracted, and missing out on real, vibrant life. She shares strategies for waking up and savoring every moment. The Power of Mortality Awareness: Inspired by her father's passing, Karen reveals how pondering life's finiteness isn't morbid—it's motivating. Knowing our time is limited helps us act with greater urgency and intention. Writing Your Own Eulogy & “To Die” List: Karen introduces practical exercises like writing your own eulogy (with a fun, Mad Libs-inspired template!) and creating a “To Die List”—a collection of what truly matters most. Core Values for a Meaningful Life: Explore Karen's seven core values (Authentic, Brave, Curious, Discerning, Empathic Love, Fun, Gratitude) and learn how aligning your daily habits with these values helps reduce regret and boost fulfillment. Identity-Based Habits: How embracing positive self-identity and values leads to powerful, lasting behavioral change. Daily Practices to Cultivate Mindfulness: Accessible tools such as gratitude rituals in the morning, “speed bumps” (moments of awareness during the day), visual meditations, and journaling for self-reflection. Mortality Marble Jar: Karen introduces a visual monthly ritual—removing a marble for each month left in your projected life—which brings heightened appreciation and increased mindfulness to each day. Building Meaningful Relationships: Why time spent intentionally with those you love, and the ripples you leave, matter above all else. Practical Takeaways Simple morning meditations to start your day with gratitude and intention How to use speed bumps and discernment to pause and make more meaningful daily choices Fun, engaging habits like the “fun jar” and monthly self-reflection with marbles Journaling prompts to deepen self-awareness and discover what matters most Memorable Quotes “A spoonful of humor helps the psychological tools go down.” “Mortality awareness isn't morbid—it's motivating.” “The more you ‘you' you are, the happier you'll be.” Resources & Links Karen's Website: notsalmon.com Preorder the Book: yourtodieforlife.com SurfingTheTsunami.com – Wisdom Feed Plus Membership Connect with the Show Love this episode?

For highly sensitives in business and leadership, personal branding is not just about how you market yourself in your business—it’s about who you are and how you show up in every interaction. Before it became a buzzword, I used to teach personal branding under a concept I refer to as “core value offer”(CVO). This teaching offered a deeper, more aligned way for HSPs in business and leadership to communicate who they are and what they bring to the world. Learning to embody your CVO can mean the difference between burnout and powerfully showing up in V&V energy (visibility and vulnerability). In this powerful episode, I break down the difference between branding as an 80%er (a non-HSP) and branding as a Highly Sensitive Leader. I discuss why the old transactional model of personal branding simply doesn't work for us HSPs and what works instead. You'll learn how to define your personal brand in a way that captures the essence of your energy and serves as the foundation for how you show up in everything you do. I also share how when embodying the energy of your personal brand, you create a deeper connection and engagement with people in all areas of your life—the team you lead, your social media followers, and even your spouse and children. Whether you're an HSP entrepreneur or working in a corporate environment, your personal brand matters—and now, more than ever, is the time to lead with it. “Your business is not something separate from you; it is you.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:17: What is a personal brand 5:28: How to define your personal brand 6:58: What makes branding different for highly sensitive people 9:50: How to create a core value offer “The Core Value Offer (CVO) isn’t just for highly sensitive entrepreneurs, it is for all highly sensitive leaders.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather's book DIFFERENT: http://www.differentthebook.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/215

Jeff Strong worked nearly 30 years in the consumer products industry as a senior executive at Procter & Gamble and global president and chief customer officer at Johnson & Johnson. He then taught in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University and worked as an advisor to the Church before serving as a mission leader in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. Jeff has since spent several years doing research on why people are leaving the Church. While not a professional researcher, his career involved a large amount of research and the research he shares in this podcast was done with the help of some of the top Latter-day Saint researchers in the world. Today, Jeff lives in Midway, Utah, and stays busy with a little lavender farm, some business consulting, and enjoying family. Links Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights In this conversation, Jeff dives deep into the tension between church culture and personal beliefs, and how embracing it can lead to growth and understanding within our church community. He discusses the findings from a comprehensive survey that aimed to understand disaffiliation and the tensions members experience in their church lives. A key takeaway is the importance of understanding what members love about the Church, revealing the core values that bind members together, despite the tensions they may feel. Jeff talks about the tensions present in church culture, emphasizing the dual facets of this conflict: the tension between tradition and change, and the tension arising from our differences. He explores how members often feel a significant conflict in their church experience, with many expressing discomfort with the culture. Jeff presents data indicating that nearly half of the respondents felt a significant conflict, and more than half did not feel a strong sense of belonging in their congregations. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing this tension rather than attempting to eliminate it. 00:02:40 - Purpose of the Survey on Disaffiliation 00:05:12 - Survey Response Insights 00:07:38 - What People Love About the Church 00:10:30 - Core Values of Church Members 00:12:33 - Strengths of the Church 00:13:10 - Tension Between Tradition and Change 00:16:00 - Navigating Cultural Differences 00:19:15 - Understanding Tension in Church Experience 00:22:10 - Data on Comfort and Belonging 00:23:38 - Recognizing Conflict in the Congregation 00:30:02 - Tension Between Personal and Cultural Values 00:35:44 - Embracing Tension in Leadership 00:40:08 - Creating a Safe Space for Tension The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.
