Trigger warning:Today's episode includes discussion of suicide and crisis intervention.I'm now at Day 3 of my Master of Counselling intensive, and today's focus was crisis management, specifically, how to support clients who may be at risk of harm to themselves or others.It was an intense, emotionally heavy day with a lot to process, but it's already added depth to my practice and revealed some blind spots I'm committed to addressing.Todays main insight:Don't shy away from the hard questions.Ask directly: “Are you having suicidal thoughts?”Be specific, clear, and explicit — it avoids ambiguity and best serves the client.Another powerful takeaway:Know the boundaries of your role and come to peace with them.We can't save everyone, and that can be hard to sit with. But we can be ethical, prepared, and grounded in our professionalism.Curious to go deeper?Click here to find out more about my 1:1 coaching & counselling sessions.

In this episode of "The Free Lawyer," host Gary Miles interviews Dan Schneiderman, a personal injury trial attorney who recently opened his own practice. Dan, from a family of medical professionals, shares his journey from a deputy district attorney to entrepreneurship. He emphasizes the importance of mentorship, strategic career planning, and work-life balance. The discussion highlights Dan's transition challenges, his calculated approach to starting his firm, and the value of coaching in overcoming imposter syndrome. The episode offers insights into managing stress, maintaining productivity, and achieving fulfillment in the legal profession.As the owner and founder of Schneiderman Trial Attorneys, Mr. Schneiderman's primary practice involves representing plaintiffs involved in personal injury disputes through mediation, arbitration, or trial in both state and federal court. Mr. Schneiderman's clients are typically individuals that have been injured or wronged due to the fault of another, and are in or anticipate litigation for personal injury-related matters. Mr. Schneiderman's specialty areas include matters involving traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, catastrophic injury and wrongful death. As a trial attorney, Mr. Schneiderman has handled numerous complex, high-stakes civil and injury cases, achieving millions in results for my clients through trial, arbitration, and settlement in state and federal court. For his work, Mr. Schneiderman has been rated by Super Lawyers magazine as being in the top 2.5% of attorneys under 40 years old, receiving the Rising Stars Award for his performance in civil litigation each year since 2016. Mr. Schneiderman has and continues to work towards providing his clients with an open and transparent attorney-client relationship, an effort that has earned him a “5 out of 5” star average client review and rating of “10/10” on the attorney review website. When he's not trying to get into a courtroom, you can usually find Dan trying to get to the beach for a surf, hanging out with his wife Vicki, two kids, and their two pets (a crazy cat and an English Bulldog), trying to invent or 3D print something in his garage, golfing, trying to write, fishing with his pops, or laying in the hammock in the backyard.Importance of Mentorship (00:10:52)Reflections on Wins and Losses (00:13:07)Control Over Professional Life (00:14:06)Seeking Coaching (00:17:01)Value of Support in Legal Profession (00:19:50)Lessons from Past Experiences (00:21:36)Calculated Launch of a New Firm (00:22:00)Defining Success and Personal Goals (00:22:37)Work-Life Balance Challenges (00:24:42)Email Management and Productivity (00:25:45)Crisis Management in Law (00:27:44)Imposter Syndrome Among Lawyers (00:29:05)Comparing Personal Growth (00:30:36)Finding Purpose in Legal Work (00:31:16)Creating Client Relationships (00:35:12)Vision for the New Firm (00:36:46)Value of Coaching and Mentorship (00:38:37)Would you like to learn more about Breaking Free or order your copy? https://www.garymiles.net/break-free Would you like to schedule a complimentary discovery call?

Transforming Hiring Practices in Healthcare with Dr. Mike NealIn this episode of The Pediatric Lounge, hosts George and Herb interview Dr. Mike Neal, co-founder of Lakeside Vision and creator of Build My Team, a system to improve employee hiring processes in healthcare. Dr. Neal shares his experiences and challenges with staff turnover and explains how he transitioned to hiring individuals based on traits, mindsets, learning speed, and strengths rather than experience alone. The discussion covers the importance of aligning hires with the practice's values and culture, the inefficacy of traditional resumes, and the utility of a systematic and detailed approach to identifying the right candidates.

Last week, my daughter graduated from Loyola University Chicago. After years of watching her build a life—on the field, on the sidelines, in the center of the action—she's stepping into the real world. And like so many graduates right now, she's walking in with drive, uncertainty, and a digital footprint that started long before her first job offer.This episode is a message to her—and to every graduate who needs a little direction that's not sugarcoated. It's a life list. The same one I've given my own kids (sometimes more than once). The same one I use with clients in crisis.In this episode:The top three questions students (and parents) ask me after every keynoteWhy your degree matters less than how well you can read a roomThe habits and mindsets that actually keep reputations intactWhat to say in your first “I don't know what to do” moment at workAnd the one thing every Gen Z grad needs to hear—especially those shaped by the pandemic yearsThis is not motivational filler.

Anesthesiologist and psychotherapist Maire Daugharty discusses her article, "Why real therapy isn't just about crisis." She challenges the common misconception that therapy is only necessary or effective during acute crises ("crisis-hopping"), explaining that this view can lead to premature termination—a "flight to health"—when underlying work remains. Maire emphasizes that periods of calm in therapy are essential for integrating positive changes, processing accomplishments, and solidifying shifts in perspective and self-structure. The conversation also explores the critical importance of respecting patient autonomy and boundaries in both therapeutic and medical settings, acknowledging that clinicians cannot fully know a patient's inner world. Furthermore, Maire clearly distinguishes the deep, exploratory work of psychotherapy, which often involves confronting difficult truths ("approaching the shattered mirror") and altering implicit assumptions, from the explicit skill-building and goal-oriented approach of coaching, which works with the existing self-structure.

Have you ever thought bravery was something some people were just born with? That it only shows up during a crisis - or that it's not really relevant to your everyday life or work? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is here to challenge all of that!Jim Moorhead is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from his background as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and law firm partner, he's developed a powerful framework for building and modeling bravery - both personally and organizationally. His book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong, is a go-to guide for responding to adversity with grounded, intentional action.In this episode, Jim breaks down the biggest myths around bravery, how leaders and teams can cultivate it (yes, it's learnable!), and why consistent small brave actions matter far more than one-off heroics. Whether you're leading a business, working in a team, or simply trying to show up more fully for yourself, you'll take something away from this conversation.Tune in to hear:Bravery isn't innate - it's a skill you can build over timeMisconceptions about bravery that are holding people and companies backHow companies that talk about, model, and reward bravery create space for innovationWhy naming and celebrating bravery helps reinforce it across teams and culturesWays to be brave every single day - no crisis required!If you've ever told yourself you're "just not brave", this episode is your invitation to rethink that entirely.LINKS AND RESOURCES:

As China's military capabilities expand, US-China frictions intensify, and regional tensions increase, concern is on the rise that a potential crisis, either accidental or deliberate, could take place that could spiral out of control. If a crisis arises with China, leaders may want to de-escalate and prevent a wider conflict. To do so, they will need to understand how China thinks about crisis management and escalation.The guest for this episode has dug into the writings of PLA strategists and authoritative PRC sources as well as Western scholarship to assess how China views military escalation and how the US and other countries can accurately predict and interpret PRC signal in crisis scenarios.Lyle Morris is a Senior Fellow on Foreign Policy and National Security at the Center for China Analysis at the Asia Society Policy Institute.

What happens when the software platform running your entire business suddenly crashes and stays down for weeks? For cleaning business owners using Booking Koala, this nightmare scenario became reality in what can only be described as a customer service catastrophe.We pull back the curtain on this ongoing crisis that has left service-based businesses unable to book clients, process payments, or maintain their websites for over two weeks. The true failure, however, isn't just technical – it's the stunning lack of communication, empathy, and accountability from the company during a critical moment.The conversation goes beyond just critiquing one platform's mistakes. We explore essential business survival skills including having contingency plans, knowing how to "pivot" when systems fail, and maintaining old-school backup methods that don't rely on technology. Many businesses found themselves completely paralyzed because they had no alternative systems in place – a dangerous vulnerability in our technology-dependent world.Customer service emerges as the real differentiator between businesses that thrive and those that collapse under pressure. We discuss practical approaches to handling customer complaints, the importance of taking ownership even when problems aren't directly your fault, and why accessibility (yes, having an actual phone number people can call!) still matters tremendously.This episode serves as both a cautionary tale and a masterclass in crisis management. Whether you're running a cleaning business, a software company, or any service-oriented enterprise, these lessons in transparent communication and customer-first problem solving can mean the difference between weathering a storm or becoming another business failure statistic.Listen now to ensure your business never falls into these devastating customer service traps!Join my email list and get a free mini course: https://klean-freaks-university.newzenler.com/f/welcome-to-klean-freaks-university-1Send us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

When Everything's Going to Hell: Mastering Leadership in Chaos In this thought-provoking episode, the No More Leadership BS team explores how effective leaders maintain control when organizational chaos threatens to derail everything. Through real-world examples and practical insights, the hosts unpack strategies for not just surviving turbulent times, but using them as catalysts for growth. The Eye of the Storm: Finding Clarity in Confusion When facing organizational disorder, identifying clear priorities provides a strategic advantage. The discussion highlights how focusing on what you can control and addressing root causes rather than symptoms creates a path forward through the confusion. From Chaos to Clarity: The Leadership Roadmap Chaos presents unique opportunities for growth and building organizational resilience. The hosts share practical approaches: staying calm amid panic, communicating clearly and frequently, prioritizing immediate solutions, and supporting teams through turbulence. True leadership isn't just tested in chaos—it's revealed. The Second Law of Leadership: Why Order Dissolves The concept of "leadership entropy" explains how without deliberate intervention, organizational systems naturally progress from order to disorder. Fixing immediate problems isn't enough; implementing sustainable systems prevents the recurrence of underlying issues. The Bottom Line Effective leadership in chaos isn't about perpetual firefighting but creating foundations and systems that allow teams to function even when things get messy. Like a kindergarten classroom that appears chaotic to outsiders yet operates on clear expectations, organizations can handle disruption when built on solid principles. Tune in for: -> Real-world transformation stories from chaos to success -> Communication strategies that maintain clarity during crisis -> Why transparency becomes your greatest asset when facing challenges -> How to identify emerging leaders during chaotic periods -> Balancing control with team empowerment Remember: In chaos, you don't just need a leader—you need a foundation-builder who turns disorder into opportunity!

In their conversation, Angel and Ethan discuss: How does Angel define leadership? Why is detachment so important (and how do we do it)? What's the number one thing Angel believes will lead leaders to success in the future? What is deep work and why do we love it so much? Lots more.

SummaryIn this episode of Service Evolution, host Jim Robinson explores the intricacies of crisis leadership across sectors like retail, hospitality, and facility management. The discussion pivots on the necessity of guiding teams through crises while promoting independence to reduce reliance on leadership during emergencies. Communication and repetition are underscored as vital tools in skill development and effective crisis management, echoing Tony Robbins' sentiment: "Repetition is the mother of skill."The conversation highlights the significance of morale maintenance, suggesting spontaneity as a means to alleviate stress and invigorate office atmospheres. Simple acts, such as buying lunch or coffee, are presented as ways to reset team dynamics and improve morale. Jim shares a poignant story of inadequate crisis handling—a property fire where the manager's failure to communicate escalated tenant stress—contrasting it with more successful management stories where calm conduct and organized communication were pivotal.Emphasizing the importance of mental health, Jim advocates for open conversations and support frameworks, promoting the idea of "adding certainty" to stabilize chaotic scenarios. He stresses that effective crisis management is a cornerstone of his business, and encourages ongoing dialogues about these experiences within the audience. In sum, the episode provides practical insights into leading teams through crises with an emphasis on preparation, effective communication, and morale-boosting to improve outcomes and foster resilience.Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(03:14) Crisis Management and Team Training(06:49) Fostering Office Spontaneity(11:35) Calm Crisis Management and Processing(13:41) Closing ThoughtsLinksJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and Construction Services
