"Stop Trying to Win the War in Your Mind Just Do Your Job!" In his wildest dreams, Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Bradley P. Jones never thought he would make a career out of the military. Through the setbacks, the disappointments, and the trials, there were many life-changing moments, including the death of his first wife when he was 37 years old and had 3 young children. Bradley P. Jones (Command Sergeant Major) enlisted in the United States Army in 1984 and served until 1988 as a ground control approach radar repairman. Upon completion of his initial enlistment and a break in service, he joined the Utah Army National Guard in 1993. His military awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal (3 Oak Leaf Clusters), Army Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal (2nd Award), Armed Forces Reserve Medal (with “M” Device), Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal (3 Oak Leaf Clusters), and the Master Aviation Crewmember badge.

What is canine physical therapy and how is it different from traditional veterinary care? What are some of the challenges of practicing canine physical therapy? On this episode of Healthcare Hacks and Connections, our host Nate introduces a one-of-a-kind guest, Francisco Maia, who is a canine physical therapist. Despite being a lesser-known profession, Francisco explains what it means to be a canine physical therapist and discusses his own experience in the field. He also mentions that he has been doing this for almost eight years and has had his own business for over five years. Nate expresses his interest in Francisco's niche and mentions that it is not a field that many people would consider being interested in. Francisco shares his experience of working with dogs and the training required to become a canine PT. He also talks about his clinic, how his work is crucial for dogs who need rehabilitation after surgery, injury, or neurological conditions, and how he customizes treatment plans for each individual dog. The episode ends with a discussion on the benefits of canine PT and how it can improve a dog's quality of life. They will touch on such topics as:How did Francisco get into physical therapy, about finding out about physical therapy 10 years ago, and how CSM, networking, and exposure through social media have helped grow his business.Finding a community of canine physical therapists and the importance of having a marketing coach: “We all are just constantly learning.”The difference between pet health insurance and human health insurance.Showing value to your customers: “It's about understanding the customer journey, where it all starts, which is going to be with marketing and where it leads to completing their plan of care.”Creating an out-of-the-box experience and comprehending the customer journey from marketing to in-person interaction.Finding a niche within the canine population: “Find your own niche within the dog community. You can help geriatric patients, or dogs recovering from orthopedic injury or neurological injuries, or going to focus on helping dogs that do sports.” Hack: The most important thing in Canine Physical Therapy is to raise awareness about the field of animal physical therapy as a whole, and the ultimate goal is to contribute to its growth.

When organizations set out to adopt Agile, they always have a business reason. It's never just because they really love Scrum, or SAFe, or LeSS. But when the teams start doing all the Agile things, and they're met with resistance from the organization around them, it's hard to point to success because not much changed. So, we start defining success as “do the roles and ceremonies exist and are we following all the Agile dogma.” That's a poor definition of success, and we have to get better at changing the organization around the teams. But that's a different problem altogether. To do that, we'll have to deconstruct what people, especially leaders inside organizations, believe about Agile and get them to see it through an all-new lens. Mike and Dave sit down to begin deconstructing some of the current beliefs about Agile, and talk about what success actually looks like in this week's episode of SoundNotes.

Today's guest is Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Gretchen Evans, a retired army veteran, author, athlete, speaker, and mentor. CSM Evans is a highly decorated female veteran who began her journey when she entered the United States Army at just 19 years old. She worked her way up to CSM, the highest rank an enlisted soldier can achieve. In 2006, CSM Evans' world changed when she was severely wounded by incoming fire while serving in Afghanistan. The rocket blast caused a traumatic brain injury, internal injuries, and complete hearing loss. After retiring from service, her transition into civilian life was difficult. But with grit, gumption, resilience, and determination, CSM Evans navigated her changed life and found a new passion and purpose advocating for veterans of all services. Today, she pays it forward by improving the lives of her fellow veterans by actively serving as a mentor, coach, and community activist. In 2019, CSM Evans assembled a mixed-ability team of disabled combat veterans and civilians to compete in the World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji. Her team was the first totally disabled team to ever compete. Team Unbroken inspired millions with their resolve to not let their injuries define who or what they could achieve in life.

Agile practices don't automatically lead to Business Agility. In the presence of dependencies and organizational impediments that the teams have no ability to change, going through the motions of Scrum or SAFe isn't going to lead to greater Business Agility either. So, you can train the teams all you want, but if it doesn't lead to greater Agility, who cares? Listen as Mike Cottmeyer and Dave Prior discuss some common misconceptions about Agile Transformation, how training often leaves businesses wanting more, and some things to consider if you're thinking about starting an Agile Journey of your own. Also, stick around for the end, where Mike reveals who his favorite fictional Project Manager is.

In this episode of the Agile Mentors podcast, Brian and Richard Cheng discuss the challenges of working in a virtual environment, sharing insights and strategies for maintaining team collaboration and communication. Listen in for practical tips and expert advice on navigating the changing landscape of remote work. Overview In this episode of the "Agile Mentors" podcast, Brian and Richard Cheng discuss the challenges and opportunities of the ever-evolving world of remote work in Agile teams and the role of technology in supporting Agile practices. Listen in as they share their insights on the tools to use, how to maintain team cohesion and collaboration, and the importance of culture and personal connections. You'll find practical tips and inspiring ideas to help you navigate the virtual landscape and thrive in the new normal of work. Listen Now to Discover: [01:14] - Brian introduces Richard Cheng, founder of Agility Prime Solutions, trainer, teaching CSM, product owner, and combat classes. He is also working on a graphic novel about the adventures of a scrum master. He's here today to discuss the challenges of working. [04:16] - Richard highlights the significant shift towards virtual work that was already happening before the pandemic and the adoption of virtual work tools such as Zoom, Miro, and Slack, which made the transition easier during the pandemic. [06:22] - Richard emphasizes the importance of using tools that foster better communication and collaboration rather than replacing them. The tools and policies around them should enable people to work better together rather than create more distance. [07:08] - Richard is relatively agnostic regarding specific tools, but he mentions that he is a huge fan of Zoom for instruction and prefers Miro or Mural for collaboration. [08:03] - Brian tends to use Mural but also acknowledges the benefits of Miro (and shares a fun fact about Miro). [09:42] - Brian advises against letting the tool drive the collaboration process and instead focusing on conversations and collaboration first, then finding tools that enhance that process. [11:00] - Richard agrees with the idea that tools should not drive the team's workflow, but rather the team should drive the tools using the example of Jira™. He advises teams to tailor their tools to support their evolving needs. [12:46] - Brian acknowledges the importance of standardization in big enterprises and advises teams to refer to items in their terms to better align with their workflow. [14:20] - Brian shares why tools that allow deep customization are enormously useful because you can implement a wealth of plugins. [15:01] - The key to keeping it simple—strip it down to the bare bones and then grow it. Richard shares an example from the best Agile shop he ever worked at, The Motley Fool, and their tools, including Bugzilla. [16:00] - Brian shares the sponsor for the podcast, Mountain Goat Software, and the team home software they use for their Agile and Scrum Training. [18:39] - Richard discusses the virtual challenges of creating culture and teamwork, including communication, collaboration, and cross-functionality. [19:15] - The new frontier for companies: experimenting with different methods is essential while adapting methods to make them more effective. [20:46] - Richard discusses the issue with the Scrum guide's statement that Scrum is immutable, stating that once you're an expert, you should take what works and tweak what doesn't, drawing on an analogy about CrossFit, where workouts can be scaled up or down, and suggest that Scrum should be approached similarly. [23:48] - Promoting conversation and collaboration between teams, which is a big issue for many teams in the virtual world. Brian points out that time zone differences can be a problem. People on the other side of the globe must experiment more with asynchronous tools to communicate and collaborate effectively. [24:49] - Collaboration is less about geography and more about times. He promotes time zone friendliness to enable teams to collaborate more effectively and independently. Richard recommends setting up time zone-aligned value streams to improve product and service delivery speed, particularly for organizations with teams in multiple time zones. [26:25] - Brian emphasizes the importance of maintaining company culture in a virtual environment. He recommends virtual show-and-tell sessions to build a deeper connection among team members. [27:51] - Richard suggests that events such as game nights and virtual chocolate tastings can help bring teams and organizations closer together, even in a virtual environment. At the same time, optional in-person events for geographically connected teams can also be a good way to foster a sense of togetherness and culture. [29:15] - To help improve communication and strengthen the team's dynamics, create user manuals for team members: that includes their background, contributions to the team, and [30:37] - As a Scrum Master and Coach, being there and having osmotic communication was a big part of the job. Without it, we have to engineer everything, which can be challenging. [31:30] - Brian acknowledges that technology is rapidly changing but emphasizes the importance of not letting the tool drive the conversation. Instead, he suggests promoting collaboration and enabling teams to work better through policies and practices that bring the team together and rethink those that separate them.

Samantha did volunteer work at an orphanage in Ghana for a few months in 2013 which led her to her first sales related job at a non-profit at UJA-Federation of New York, a 150M fundraising campaign that serves the New York community. She attributes her experience in fundraising (cold calling non stop to get donations, and putting on fundraising events) to giving her a leg up when moving to the for-profit world in the capacity of a quota-driven CSM role (aggressive upsell targets + renewal targets). She still gives back to the orphanage she lived at, UJA, and she volunteers locally in Denver, CO with other Airbnb hosts (Food Bank of the Rockies). She made my first real estate investment last year on a home in Denver, CO, and became an Airbnb host to give herself and her husband more financial freedom and flexibility to earn income while they travel for work and pleasure, and while they are on the road to have an additional revenue stream. They hope this is the first of many real estate investments they make.

"I'm sure there were times Constance was afraid, but she kept on putting one foot in front of the other, and we have to know that the spirit that was with her is with us, too.-Sister Hannah, Prioress of the Community of St. Mary, SewaneeThis week on Faithfully Memphis, join the Reverend Lisa McIndoo, Rector of Holy Apostles Episcopal Church (Collierville) for a conversation with Sister Hannah, CSM, the Prioress of the Community of St. Mary in Sewanee, Tennessee. An Episcopal Benedictine monastic community for women, the community was founded in 1865 in New York – the first Episcopal monastic community in the United States. In 1873 the Community sent Sisters to Memphis to begin a school for girls and establish a Church home for the poor and needy, but their work was interrupted by the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878. All but one of the Sisters died in their attempts and are remembered today as the “Martyrs of Memphis” for their heroic service. The one surviving Sister moved to Sewanee, TN and in 1888 started what is now the Southern Province of the Sisters of St. Mary. Today the Sisters' ministries include providing spiritual direction, leading retreats and workshops, preaching and teaching at churches across the country, and working with Oblates, Associates, volunteers, and Organic Prayer Program interns. You can learn more about the Community of St. Mary here: https://www.communityofstmarysouth.org/

On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with former Australian Army Special Forces, 2nd Commando Regiment, Warrant Officer Nick Hill. Nick served in Malaysia, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as being deployed to other countries including Egypt, Israel and the United States of America. Nick spent his twenty-five-year career (1989-2014) predominately in the 2nd Commando Regiment. Nick was selected to be part of the stand-up of Tactical Assault Group – East (TAG-E). In late January of 2002 Nick was sent to SASR in Perth to begin the 1st Advanced Close Quarter Battle (ACQB) course with 30 other members of 4 Cdo and 10 RAN CD's. Nick successfully completed the ACQB Cse with 15 others, 9 Cdo's and 6 Cd's, and became the Plank holders of TAG-E. Nick deployed to Afghanistan as the CSM of Bravo Commando Company (BCCG) from July 2011 – February 2012 Special Operations Task Group, Rotation XVI . During that deployment BCCG conducted over 80 Combat Operations in Urazghan, Zabul, Kandahar and Helmand Provinces. Over 90% of the Operations were conducted by Helicopter with support from CH47-D Chinooks from B Coy, 1-52 Avn Regt, Apache & Blackhawks 3-101 Avn Regt, CH53-Es from HMH 464, 2nd US Marine Air Wingand the Afghan Arial Interdiction Unit, (Mi-17s). Conducting mostly Counter Narcotic mission known as Nexus Operations or as they called it Operation Markha Niwel or simply “Counter Narc Ops” – The Targeting of The Intersection Of Criminal And Taliban Networks with the DEA's FAST (Foreign Advisory Support Teams). THe company spent much of these missions in the bad lands of Helmand Province, specifically the Kajaki Sofala and Northern Helmand area. By the end of the Rotation, Commandos had destroyed an estimated $1billion worth of Heroin (US Street Value). We became known as Billion Dollar Bravo.Cam's Cause is a registered charity created in the name of CPL Cameron Baird VC MG. It is run by a mix of civilians and members of the 2nd Commando Regiment and exists to support current and ex-serving Commandos and their families. Cam's Cause works closely with the Commando Welfare Trust; the distinction being that the CWT supports the wider SOCOMD community, where Cam's Cause only supports ECN 079 Commandos.

In this episode of [Un]churned, host Josh Schachter speaks with Kelly Leonard, the VP, Creative Strategy, Innovation & Business Development at Second City in Chicago.They discuss how improvisation can improve creativity and collaboration in business and the importance of human behavior and relationships in customer success.They also touch on the concept of "Yes, and" and how it can be used to navigate disagreements or situations where agreement may not be possible. Overall, the podcast highlights the value of practicing human skills and using science to understand better and connect with customers. They also discuss - the importance of building relationships in business- how improvisational theatre exercises can help improve communication skills.- dealing with demanding customers who complain frequently.- the power of comedy in diffusing difficult situations, - the importance of avoiding toxic people and bosses, - the value of improvisation in business.
In this episode, I'm talking to Laura Kightlinger, a VP of International Customer Success at Seismic. She leads the team responsible for partnering with customers across Europe and Asia to ensure their long-term value realisation on the platform. Prior to Seismic, Laura built the Customer Success team at Qubit from inception to 15 team members globally and supported significant growth at DocuSign and Google. She also shares her passion for Customer Success with others in the industry as a coach at Sales Impact Academy and Scalewise. Fun facts about Laura: lived and worked in a number of places across America and Europe Her dream location is in Southern Europe, near the seaside At the age of 16, she couldn't imagine her current career in tech, but definitely the aspect of problem-solving and her love of change! Career Journey: After studying accounting and finance, Laura started her career as a financial analyst role. She ended up working at Google and realised that sitting behind spreadsheets wasn't for her! She liked the entrepreneurial culture and the chance to grow something. After completing her MBA, she moved to London to work at Qubit, as a professional services consultant and eventually grew a global team in customer success. From here, Laura went on to join Seismic as a Customer Success Leader and has built teams in Europe and the APAC regions. Current Role: Laura always wanted to move abroad. She loves being in different places and learning about new traditions, foods and cultures, and having to learn to work with people that think differently and communicate differently. For Laura, living abroad was a really positive and enriching challenge, that helped her in building relationships and gaining local knowledge of how each market works to best support her clients. Laura's Customer Success Approach: With her background, Laura is able to bring credibility to her conversations with C-suite leaders from a finance and operations aspect. Customer Success is a huge part of revenue generation for businesses and Laura bridges that gap between overall business metrics and their own impact on the business. Laura notes the importance of not just focusing on the numbers but looking into where teams can focus on adoption and value. The aim is to try to show a data-driven picture to her leaders about what it is they do and how that ultimately contributes to the overall kind of financial and business goals that they have. Laura talks about how the value piece for her customers is always evolving. They focus a lot on tying the work they're doing with customers to their broader business goals, using storytelling around the value they drive. “I see so much the role of the CSM is to keep that conversation ongoing and make sure we have the finger on the pulse with the customer.” Her knowledge of dealing with different cultures in different ways - not a one size fits all approach – has helped her in the same way when she interacts with other leaders as a woman in a predominantly male environment. Main takeaway: When you want to deliver a message, either for C-suite or someone else, know your audience! There's a huge difference in the way you deliver the same message to different people based on your relationship with them.

I just finished up 3 days at APTA's CSM conference. I know more than a few of you thought it was a joke that I was here when I sent out an email last week about meeting up.Well I've been teaching our Platinum Mastermind group the importance of doing in-person workshops, events and getting in front of their customers, and guess what? 14,000 of my potential customers are here.Unfortunately, most of them don't know that cash practice is an option and many of them think it's fringe, no possible or even unethical. There were still sessions where people were talking about marketing to “doctors" and the session on "innovation" was empty.Here's my rundown of what I learned and how CSM Compares to PT Biz Con especially for physical therapy business owners…Be sure to join us at PT Biz Con 2023 – the premier event for physical therapists looking to grow their businesses and reach their full potential.

At CSM in San Diego, we held an innovative way of transforming society. This inaugural event “PArTy with a Purpose” was generously hosted by the APTA Geriatrics, APTA Academy of Leadership and Innovation and the ATI Foundation. We had taken over The New Museum (a premier children's museum) directly across the street from CSM. This event raised $30,000 which helped support three deserving organizationsOne More Wave - Empowering veterans to find healing through surfing. Providing wounded and disabled veterans with customized surfing equipment and a community to surf with. APTA Geriatrics Fund - The APTA Geriatrics Fund supports scholarships for future geriatric researchers and aging-specific research grants to help improve PT for older adults through the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research. ATI Foundation - The ATI Foundation was created as a way for API employees and patients to give back to the communities in which they live, work and serve. From 2003 to 2020, the ATI Foundation raised more than $4 million to make a meaningful impact in the lives of nearly 4,500 children with physical impairments.

Do you have what it takes to pass the NPTE? In this episode, I go through a bunch of common questions that I've been receiving at CSM 2023. If you attend the APTA CSM, be sure to stop by our booth and find us! Find it all out in this podcast! Be prepared for the NPTE so that you can pass with flying colors! Check out www.ptfinalexam.com/podcast for more information and to stay up-to-date with our latest courses and projects.
We need our CSM's to become more "strategic". (What that really means, no one will ever know) BUT, here's an easy way to *start*... Coaching your CSMs to get better at asking open-ended questions AND listening. Open-ended questions often begin with words such as "Why" and "How." Or they can use phrases such as "Tell me about..."
This week's episode is all about maximization. As a CSM, how do you maximize your seat at the table? Because it wasn't that long ago that customer success rarely – if ever – had a seat at the table. We're still fighting in many cases, but today, CSMs find themselves more-and-more at the center of major organizational decisions.And when we get there, it's important to know what to do. Fortunately, Monica Trivedi, JLL Technology's senior director of global customer success, is our guest this week on Unchurned, and she has plenty of wisdom to share.In particular, you'll want to listen for Monica's 3 Essential Tips on how CSMs can leverage their seats at the table. But there was much more covered in this episode, including:Gaining your seat at the table to begin with How CS takes shape within a major commercial real estate company The importance of being “crisp” when making budget requestsWhy you need to know your audience and what motivates themThe benefit of sharing your wins – and losses So be sure to check out the latest Unchurned episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
This week is all about how we interact with customers – and we have a great guest who knows a whole lot about it.In fact, he literally wrote the book on it. Author Rob Fitzpatrick has been helping small businesses and entrepreneurs reach their goals for years. He's written several books, including “The Mom Test: How to Talk to Customers & Learn If Your Business Is a Good Idea When Everyone Is Lying to You.” This is something he knows and cares about – and he was kind enough to spend nearly an hour breaking it all down with UpdateAI's Josh Schachter! Topics covered in their Unchurned conversation include:Creating the “perfect customers” for software productsWhy how you frame a conversation is criticalWhy talking to customers should be like “surgery”How to find “overlap” between CS and learning about the customer The value in being “sneaky” in meetings Living the remote life in EuropeThere's plenty more they discussed, too, so be sure to listen to the full episode!
It's a tough time in the business world right now – but that doesn't mean progress goes right out the window.In fact, Judd Borkaove, the chief growth and community officer at GTM Partners, looks at it completely differently; Judd, on the latest episode of “[Un]churned,” hosted by UpdateAI CEO Josh Schachter, said he believes it's a “good time” for businesses right now, whether it's setting the right foundation for a new company or reimagining how an older firm does business. That optimism serves him well at his day job at GTM Partners, a data-driven analyst firm focused on making GTM easy for companies via research, workshops, analyst work sessions, and studies. (Judd is also a partner at Red Monkey Consulting.) Judd went in-depth with Josh in this episode on go-to-market strategies and how businesses can thrive in the current environment.Topics covered in this episode include: – Why retention and expansion are essential, especially in a down economy – Why it's “good time” to build solid businesses – Determining the best go-to-market strategy– The “8 Pillars” of Judd's GTM framework – The importance of getting value to the customer ASAP – How to “incentivize” more sales while in a CS role – Using data to remove bias and make sound decisions – Ranking the best JuddsThis episode covers plenty of ground, so be sure to have your “Notes” app ready, because you'll probably want to jot down a point or two from Judd. You can find “[Un]churned,” as always, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
