304 Women's Relationships Whether it be in the workplace, in daily life, or anywhere we go in the world, we meet exceptional individuals that make life both enjoyable and enlightening. It is vital to not only appreciate these people, but to seek out more kindred spirits to lift up and to be lifted up by. In this episode Sarah Elkins and her friends Kimberly Davis and Heather Younger discuss the importance of support and relationships in both our careers and in our down time. Highlights Surprise someone with support. Be a champion for another. Don't judge or treat another poorly because of your own preconceived notions. Being intentional when lifting others up. Do not contribute to the hatefulness and meanness in the world, look for the good and the hope that is inspired by those you hold dear. Make the work worth it, but don't let yourself get overworked and overwhelmed. Everything you do, begins with you, so try to be at your best. Quotes “The folks I hire, I'm not hiring them because they're women. There's a strength about them, there's an independence about them, I can tell they're just going to get stuff done.” “I think the reason I like it is because I know they're intelligent, I can trust them, they know things I don't know.” “Sometimes I do feel so sad, and so fatigued. Like Sisyphus pushing the boulder uphill all the time, that I have to stop and refuel because I am unable to keep an even level of fight or flight because the fight or flight just feels fruitless.” “If there's one person, who changes one behavior, in an audience of hundreds of people, in my mind the impact there is worth it.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When was the last time you lifted someone up, or stood beside them during a trying time? How often do you actively turn to another person on your team and as their help because they have more knowledge on a subject? If you could say one thing to the people in your life that make the work worth it what would you say? Remember Dear Listener everything you do starts with you, so make it come from a place of kindness and understanding. And, as always, thank you for listening. About Heather from her LinkedIn "A DYNAMIC APPROACH THAT EASILY ENGAGES THE AUDIENCE." *Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more content: https://www.youtube.com/@heatherryounger* Heather R. Younger, J.D., CDP, is an experienced keynote speaker, two-time author, and the CEO and Founder of Employee Fanatix, a leading employee engagement, leadership development, and DEI consulting firm, where she is on a mission to help leaders understand the power they possess to ensure people feel valued at work. Known as The Employee Whisperer, Heather harnesses humor, warmth, and an instant relatability to engage and uplift audiences and inspire them into action. Rooted in her belief that employees aren't just numbers on the payroll but human beings with ideas that matter, Heather's talks and workshops are dedicated to helping teams, leaders, and organizations shine by improving how they listen to, communicate with, and empower employees. "My why is to give a voice to the voiceless at work; those employees who feel powerless or hopeless or helpless." Heather's personal Why emerged as she sought to find meaning from her difficult experience growing up in the 1970s. As the only child of an interfaith and interracial marriage, both Heather and her Black father were shunned and excluded by extended family because of the color of their skin. While the sting of exclusion left Heather with a lot of questions growing up, it also led her to develop a high level of resilience and a deeply inspired commitment to advocate for anyone who has ever felt devalued. Today, she credits her capacity to navigate complex social dynamics and discuss identity in the workplace to those early experiences, and is dedicated to creating opportunities for organizational leaders, teams, and individuals to learn strategies for reframing adversity while empowering leaders to change their workplaces for the better. As a champion for positive change in workplaces, communities, and our world at large, Heather delivers clear and purposeful strategies that drive real business results – such as increased employee engagement, loyalty, collaboration, and connectivity. The results? - Team members feel heard, seen, and valued - Companies create safe environments and a culture of trust - Diversity and creativity are celebrated - Resilience rises - Stress falls - Productivity goes through the roof - Customer retention and referrals soar - Everyone wins – sometimes in ways they didn't even realize were possible.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with our very own Jeff Strese, a human capital expert and executive coach focused on family-owned business leaders and senior wealth advisors. He works as consultant at FOX to develop transformational leadership programs and support our councils with thought leadership on human capital, generational transitions, and family dynamics. Jeff also teaches in the Executive Education program at SMU's COX School of Business based in Dallas, TX. In this podcast, Jeff shares his definition and scope of human capital and offers insights into why so many organizations struggle to understand and manage the unique challenges of finding, retaining, and growing talented professionals. He talks about the role and importance of culture in retaining and developing human capital and offers his views into how organizations can take a “diagnostic” approach to culture and human capital. Jeff's background is truly unique, combining several fields of people management expertise, including HR, organizational development, and family systems. He talks about how he integrates these distinct disciplines when working with leaders and advisors from SFOs and MFOs. The role of culture and the scope of people management in the family office space is uniquely expanded, compared to the regular corporate world, since traditional human resource topics and skillsets are often intermingled with family psychology and interpersonal dynamics that arise only when working with or supporting multigenerational families of wealth and their complex enterprises. Finally, Jeff talks about some of the most important – and maybe neglected – skills and abilities that families and their advisors need to develop to best cultivate their human capital, both within the family and its family office and across its broader ecosystem of advisor firms. Jeff provides a practical overview of the tools and resources that exist today for families, family offices, and family wealth advisors to grow, enhance, and retain their human capital, while equipping the family and the family enterprise with the right mindset, education, and capabilities to succeed and flourish across generations. Please enjoy this enlightening conversation with one of the experienced, connected, and well-liked human capital professionals the family learning and family wealth management space.

I'm excited to have Kimberlynn Hunter on the SYCK Podcast today! With leadership skills developed and tested during her 20+ years' experience in the U.S. Army, she recently pivoted into the corporate world and is working at Cognizant, one of the top consulting firms in the world. We talk about the challenges she faced in her job search after retiring from the army and she addresses some of the common misconceptions that veterans face when re-entering the civilian workforce. Kim shares helpful advice for fellow veterans on how to use storytelling to leverage their military skills and experience and she addresses the importance of networking and building civilian relationships. IN THIS EPISODE: [03:34] Kimberlynn's army career experience, pivoting to a non-leadership role and common roadblocks that veterans face [24:00] Navigating the job search after the military and MBA program [34:30] How to leverage relationships and the military as an alumni group [39:57] What does networking mean and how to build relationships [41:29] How to build influence and transition from military to corporate world [45:01] How to accelerate your career KEY TAKEAWAYS: Corporate networking is opposite from networking in the military. Veterans should try to get acquainted with corporate and civilian professionals before retiring by attending professional events or growing their LinkedIn network. Storytelling is really important for veterans. Not only just for interviews, but it makes you more relatable and while skills are important, stories are what endear you to people. Believe in yourself and what it is you think you wanna do. Don't limit yourself because you never know what opportunities might come about or who you might meet that could help you find your next dream opportunity.

Kristina and Ben have known each other a few years and met in LA when him and his wife visited Los Angeles to record his own podcast episodes.

On this week's podcast, Paul interviews Dean Stansel. Dean is a Research Associate Professor at the Bridwell Institute for Economic Freedom in the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University, but the main topic of the discussion is the 2020 version of the Fraser Institute's Index of Economic Freedom of North America. New Mexico lags its region dramatically in the Index (coming in at 42nd overall) even though the data in this particular Index are from 2018, the final year of Gov. Susana Martinez's term in office. Dean and Paul discuss the components of economic freedom and why it matters in alleviating the poverty that is all-too-common in New Mexico. In addition to the document above you can explore the data over time (and international rankings of economic freedom) using this interactive website.

This week’s Talking Michigan Transportation podcast includes conversations about whether the federal government will provide any relief for transportation agencies in the wake of declining fuel tax revenues because of the pandemic. First, Lloyd Brown, director of communications at the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, offers his analysis of the ongoing Congressional discussions. Later, MDOT Finance Director Patrick McCarthy talks about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Rebuilding Michigan program and plans to sell some of the bonds this year. Will there be help from Washington? Many scholars and analysts have argued that this is an opportune time to raise the federal gas tax, last increased in 1993, not indexed to inflation, which has increased 77 percent since then. Writing in The Hill, Bernard L. Weinstein, associate director of the Maguire Energy Institute and adjunct professor of business economics in the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University, makes the case for doing something now. https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/492748-this-is-prime-time-to-increase-the-federal-gasoline-tax The inflation-adjusted cost of gasoline today is about where it was 50 years ago. Weinstein questions whether Congress will squander a unique opportunity to hike the federal gasoline tax, replenish the Highway Trust Fund, and rebuild America’s critical road and bridge infrastructure. His thinking is in line with that of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has advocated for a 25-cent increase in the federal gas tax. “Our nation’s infrastructure is deteriorating and only getting worse. By 2025, our crumbling infrastructure will cost American businesses $7 trillion,” said Chamber CEO Tom Donohue. “Today’s announcement … is an important step forward on the path to rebuilding America’s infrastructure.” Says House Transportation Chairman Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon: “And just like the New Deal of the 1930s, the best way to re-start our economy and put workers first is with a massive investment in the kind of infrastructure that will help future generations succeed - from better bridges and roads to robust transit and passenger rail service, to fully functioning ports and harbors, to modernized waste and drinking water systems, and widely available broadband internet.” U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, after initially balking at aid to states in another round of stimulus and suggesting they could default, amended his stance and suggested there could be some relief. But his and administration proposals come with what Democrats consider some poison pills, calling for a pandemic liability shield and payroll tax cuts. https://www.usnews.com/news/economy/articles/2020-05-05/liability-protection-looms-over-next-coronavirus-stimulus-package Rebuilding Michigan MDOT’s McCarthy explains the bond sale process and how it will support the Rebuilding Michigan plan. Earlier this year, Gov. Whitmer asked the State Transportation Commission (STC) to authorize bonds to rebuild some of the state’s busiest freeways. The STC voted to authorize up to $3.5 billion in bonds. https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,4616,7-151-9621_14807_14810_59639---,00.html The first project in the plan, the rebuild of I-496 west of Lansing, began April 1. McCarthy explains that the project is being funded with existing revenue that will be reimbursed when the bonds are sold. https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,4616,7-151-9620_11057-523878--rss,00.html Meanwhile, other states are eyeing bond sales to shore up funding. The Texas Transportation Commission is preparing to issue $880 million of general obligation refunding bonds. https://www.bondbuyer.com/news/texas-plans-taxable-transportation-go-bond-refunding

About This Episode In this episode, I interview Dr. Dale Thompson about the concept of Worthy Leadership. Dr. Thompson talks about the fact that even leaders who appear to be at the top of their game can experience catastrophic failure without one very important personal quality. About Our Guest Dale Thompson is a seasoned business executive and consultant, a licensed psychologist, and Founder and CEO of Leadership Worth Following, LLC (LWF). Established in January 2004, LWF helps organizations identify and develop talent with the capacity, commitment, and character to become top-performing leaders worthy of followership. Dale’s more than thirty years of business, consulting, and leadership experience have focused heavily on helping individual leaders, groups, teams, and organizations address critical talent-related issues including top leadership selection, development, and succession; Board and CEO-team effectiveness; and creating sustainable leadership systems and processes. His most recognizable clients have included prominent global firms such as 7-Eleven, AIG, BNSF, Boeing, Federal-Mogul, Freescale, Rackspace, Texas Instruments, and Walmart, as well as dynamic domestic companies such as Advance Auto Parts, H-E-B, Neiman-Marcus, NuStar Energy, PetSmart, SCAN Healthplan, USAA, and Valero Energy, to name a few. His varied business experiences include co-founding a truckload transportation company in 1986 that served as a test bed for then cutting edge Global Positioning technology and operations-research driven business models; directly leading and supporting a leadership consulting-firm’s aggressive global expansion to more than 30 markets in 14 countries and ultimately leading all of its North American operations throughout the 1990’s; and in 2001 co-founding a significant competitor to IBM’s Global Services consulting business. He founded LWF in 2004. Beyond consulting, Dale has made a number of recognized contributions to the fields of business and psychology. In 1986, he published what has been acknowledged as the first formal study of executive coaching. His pioneering research focused on evaluating the emerging practice of executive coaching and its effectiveness, and identifying “who changes, how much, and why” among coaching participants. In 2008, he was first author of the landmark article, “The Search for Worthy Leadership;” one of the most downloaded articles in the leadership literature since it was published. And in 2010, he was co-author of “The Character to Lead: A Closer Look at Character in Leadership;” a critically acclaimed study showing that character in leadership can be reliably defined and measured – and that character in leadership is directly related to important leadership and business outcomes. Dale’s professional contributions were acknowledged in 2004 when The Society of Consulting Psychology presented him with the prestigious RHR International Award for Excellence in Consultation. His contributions to leadership theory and practice were acknowledged by the Society of Psychologists in Management when he was named The 2011 Distinguished Psychologist in Management; and by The Goolsby Leadership Academy at The University of Texas at Arlington when he was named its 2011 Distinguished Visiting Leader. Dale received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He is a Member and Past-President of The Society of Psychologists in Management, and was a founding member of the Advisory Board of the Goolsby Leadership Academy at the University of Texas-Arlington. He has been affiliated with the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University, and the Industrial/Organizational Psychology Programs at the University of North Texas and at The University of Texas at Arlington. He is a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Texas, and a member of the American Psychological Association, The Society of Consulting Psychology, The Society of Psychologists in Management, and Dallas Executive Connection.(Taken from Dale's bio on the Leadership Worth Following Site)

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I and Dean’s beard welcome William Leach to the show. If you want to know some Jedi mind tricks to get into the subconscious of your ideal customers or clients, Will is the guy you want on your side. Will is the founder of TriggerPoint, a leading Behavioral Research and Design consultancy specializing in System 1 marketing. TriggerPoint helps today’s largest brands understand and change consumer behavior through Behavioral Research and Design. Will has over 20 years of behavioral insights experience and is a behavioral design instructor at the Cox School of Business BLC at Southern Methodist University. How Will discovered the subconscious side of marketing Anyone who is interested in marketing and upping their sales game is going to have an interest in studying psychology and what gets people to buy things, but Will takes it to a different level. He took a look at the latest in neuroscience and behavioral psychology and learned how to apply those principles to marketing. As he says on this week’s Just the Tips, people make 35,000 decisions a day, and obviously not all of those are conscious decisions, a lot of them are operating below the surface. So rather than trying to change someone’s mind and convince them to buy something, Will looks at how those subconscious decisions impact sales decisions. The four factors that contribute to decision-making Will told us about behaviorally designed marketing on this week’s episode. He said there are four factors that get someone into the mode of “hot state decision-making,” which means they are emotionally and psychologically ready and wanting to make a decision (think about what Vegas does to you). The four factors that get someone into that hot state are goals, motivation toward those goals, what’s called regulatory fit (think approach vs. avoidance), and then finally triggers. Will clearly explains what each of those factors mean, but you’ll have to listen to this week’s Just the Tips to get the truly deep dive. How behavioral psychology works in action Will told a really fascinating story on this week’s Just the Tips about how he’s applied his four factors in the real world. When he was working for PepsiCo, his team had to figure out how to make a discount “bundle” of products (soda and chips, etc.), appealing to customers. So at first they discounted the whole bundle together, but that didn’t really work. And then they thought through what those customers in convenience stores are there for, what their goals are (to get through the next part of their day), and what their motivation is (to have a bit of a respite and get the fuel to get through their day). Mark walked us through all four factors, and how he came to a decision on how to re-market the products that boosted their sales by 20%. It’s fascinating stuff. Focus on the trigger So while you should consider how to apply all four factors to your full marketing approach, a quick tip Will told us about to quickly boost sales is to just focus on the last one: the trigger. Tell people what you want them to do and when to do it. “Buy now,” “sign up today,” etc. It may look ugly, but it will drive short-term sales. He also provides another quick-hit tip. One is to focus on promotion or prevention (i.e. talking about the benefits of a product or what the product removes negative impacts). It may be a simple technique, but it can really help change things for your marketing. All of this is in Will’s book Marketing to Mindstates, but you can hear it first in this week’s Just the Tips.

“The science is just sitting out there in academia.” That’s why consultant, educator, and author Will Leach decided to package it up in a revolutionary new book. Marketing to Mindstates is about looking beyond traditional market research by understanding and appealing to your audience when they’re in the optimal mindstate. We unpacked this concept and more this week on the On Brand podcast. About Will Leach Will Leach is the founder of TriggerPoint, a leading Behavioral Research and Design consultancy specializing in System 1 marketing. Simply put, TriggerPoint helps today’s largest brands understand and change consumer and employee behavior through Behavioral Research and Design. Will has over 20 years of behavioral insights experience and is a behavioral design instructor at the Cox School of Business BLC at Southern Methodist University. Will is the author of Marketing to MindStates: a Practical Field Guide to Applying Behavioral Design to Marketing and is also the only 2-time winner of the EXPLOR Award for behavioral science research innovation. Episode Highlights Why behavioral research? Why now? “Technology makes connecting with customers easier than ever before. But what does this mean from a psychological perspective?” Especially when our brains are trained to filter out messages? How can your brand stand out? “By creating saliency. That’s when something is fluid and easy to understand.” Will shared how we make 35,000 decisions every day. A vast majority of these are unconscious. “The number-one decision you make every day is not to decide.” Will shared four scientific steps for creating saliency with your brand. What is a mindstate? “They’re moments of high emotional arousal. You’re in a hot state. This is what’s called System 1 processing.” What about the interplay between academia and real-world consulting? As an educator and strategist myself, I was eager to ask Will this burning question. “What business is good at is doing (or performing) ‘whats.’ Academia is good at understanding the ‘why’ behind something.” Together it’s a potent combination. What brand has made Will smile recently? As a parent, Will has been noticing kids’ brands more and more. That’s why he loves Lego and Marvel. “They allow me as a parent to connect and relate with my son in a way I wouldn’t be able to otherwise.” To learn more, go to marketingtomindstates.com.

Considering a transition from the military? Do you feel a little anxious about your decision? This anxiety is natural. In this podcast, I interview Cameron-Brooks Recruiter and Principal, Rob Davis, about his decision to make the transition 19 years ago. What makes Rob's decision unique? His dad and father-in-law both retired from the military. Rob attended West Point with the goal to follow in their footsteps. He stayed in the Army beyond his original commitment to command a Tank Company on his way to making the Army his career. Yet, he decided to transition and did so successfully to Cisco Systems. Rob explains how he made his decision and offers advice to others considering their future as well. He recommends: Map out your next 5 years in the military. Does it excite you? What is going to be important to you in 5 years? Does the military help you align with those priorities? Research business by reading business books like PCS to Corporate America, 4th Ed. and business periodicals like FORTUNE Magazine. Talk to people working in business. Does this excite you? Does it align with your priorities? Additionally, Rob explains why he accepted a position with Cisco in his least desired geographic area (Northern California) and how he navigated his career back to his ideal location, Dallas, Texas. Rob also earned his MBA at the Cox School of Business, SMU, while working for Cisco. He has great perspective on the value of earning the MBA while working. This is our 55th podcast episode and, so far, this episode is my favorite. While I have worked with Rob for 8 years now, interviewing him for the podcast allowed me the opportunity to really listen and learn from him. Rob has excellent advice for any JMO considering a transition. You can learn more about Rob's experience by viewing his LinkedIn profile. Also feel free to email him directly with any questions. He is passionate about helping military officers reach their potential and goals. Enjoy. Joel Junker

Do cherry pickers – those consumers who are extremely sensitive to price and go from store to store to pick the best-priced items and leave the rest – really save a lot of money? A recent paper by Wharton marketing professor Stephen J. Hoch and Edward J. Fox a marketing professor at the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University found that consumers not only save money but that the savings are enough to offset the time it takes to do the extra shopping. In addition the researchers found a substantial number of shoppers are savvy and diligent enough to make cherry picking pay off. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Joseph Cahoon ( https://www.smu.edu/cox/Our-People-and-Community/Faculty/Joseph-Cahoon ) , Director of Folsom Institute for Real Estate at SMU’s Cox School of Business ( https://www.smu.edu/cox/Centers-and-Institutes/Folsom-Institute-For-Real-Estate ) , joined us on the most recent episode of Dirt Work ( https://marketscale.com/industries/podcast-network/dirt-work/ ) to discuss the cross-section of education and real estate in light of invocation and changes brought forth by the coronavirus pandemic. SMU successfully transitioned over 10,000 students to remote learning in rapid fashion. “We had been thinking about on-line education for a long time but most of the faculty was skeptical about on-line learning and while it wasn’t exactly a smooth transition, it brought about change that might have taken years in a matter of month”. A main benefit that the online education offers is the concept of “asynchronous learning”, which is the idea that students learn the same material at different times and locations, which is different than the lecture-based model. Cahoon beliefs that online learning will continue to be relevant in the education space as universities transition to a hybrid (i.e. half in-person, half-online) model. Universities were not the only groups that saw an increase in on-line learning, as LinkedIn, Coursera ( https://www.coursera.org/ ) and Udemy ( http://udemy/ ) saw tremendous increases in learning content consumed and enrollment since the start of COVID-19. Cahoon believes that the next opportunity in online learning lies within the ability to increase student engagement in the sessions. In regard to changes in the real estate landscape, Cahoon thinks that similar to the education space, that COVID-19 sped up trends that were already on-going (e.g. migration from higher to lower cost areas, certain struggling sectors of retail) and eventually thinks consumer behavior will resume to levels similar to those seen pre-COVID, especially in Class A & B locations varying, of course, across product-types. Cahoon highlighted that an often-overlooked aspect of the COVID real estate value correction is decreased property tax revenue for cities in the immediate term. However, “This may an opportunity for cities to be adaptive and creative…which maybe has a positive long-term benefit…if we create better cities, more equitable cities, cities that are healthier economically, it will only positively benefit everyone’s real estate”. For those interested in learning more on the latest real estate trends, Cahoon recommends Howard Marks’ Memos ( https://www.oaktreecapital.com/insights/howard-marks-memos ) and subscribing to the Folsom Institute’s ( https://www.smu.edu/cox/Centers-and-Institutes/Folsom-Institute-For-Real-Estate ) weekly newsletter by emailing real@smu.edu.
