Send us a textHave you ever been in a wilderness season for an extended period of time? I'm in one now, and Jamie MacDonald's song Desperate resonated deeply with me. When we explore the stories of desperate people in Scripture, we find that God consistently shows up in powerful ways. This week, we follow the example of one such person—the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings—and discover how faith-fueled contentment can coexist with crisis.Scripture References2 Kings 4:8-37Key PointsDesperation comes in many forms. Scripture reveals both positive and negative responses to desperation—such as the woman with the issue of blood versus Esau trading his birthright for a bowl of stew.Faith-fueled contentment is not denial. The Shunammite woman's “all is well” was not a pep talk—it was a declaration rooted in deep faith.Desperation doesn't have to drive you from God—it can drive you to Him. In her moment of crisis, the Shunammite woman didn't send word—she went to the prophet herself and clung to his feet.Unmet desires don't negate contentment. Even though she didn't ask for a son, the longing was still there—and God met it. But when the promise seemed lost, she chose action rooted in belief.Observing biblical narrative carefully leads to powerful insight. Repetition, character details, and implied time gaps all deepen our understanding of the text and help us engage more fully.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) UsedRead in context – Engage with the full narrative in 2 Kings 4:8-37.Repetition – Read and re-read the passage to become familiar with the details.Make observations – Write down what you notice in the text.Use your imagination – Picture the setting and feel the emotions in the scene.Define words – Look up and explore both meanings and antonyms.Consider the opposite – What does it mean not to be desperate? What does contentment look like?Use the SPECK method: S – Is there a sin to avoid?P – Is there a promise revealed?E – Is there an example to follow?C – Is there a command to obey?K – What should I know about God?Additional ResourcesLyrics and chords - New Release TodayMy friend Denise Pass's book Make Up Your Mind and her speaking live on the Shunammite woman has informed this episode - link to Make Up Your MindFree Episode Guide Logos Bible Software Affiliate Link resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead this narrative for yourself in 2 Kings 4:8-37.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. I recently polled my audience, and the response blew me away. Almost everyone said the same thing: “I feel disorganized and scattered.” In this episode, I break down why that's happening and exactly what to do about it. You'll learn how to map out your 5 and 10-year vision without needing a crystal ball, how to break those visions into tactical 12-week plans, and how to actually stick to them, even if you've struggled with structure in the past. If you're tired of spinning your wheels, chasing goals without clarity, and ending each day exhausted but unsatisfied, this episode will feel like an exhale. Plus, I share the real reason most planning fails… and what to do instead.  

What if the missing link to scaling your business isn't strategy or hustle—but buy-in?In today's episode, I sat down with Dave Garrison—Harvard MBA, former CEO, leadership strategist, and author of The Buy-In Advantage. Together, we unpack the real reason so many businesses struggle to scale: a lack of authentic team engagement and aligned leadership. From culture-building to communication, this episode is a masterclass in how to create a team that moves fast, works well, and stays committed—because they believe in the mission as much as you do.Whether you're a team of one or one hundred, these insights will reframe how you lead.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why buy-in is more than just agreement—it's heart, gut, and brain alignmentThe hidden costs of poor team culture (and how it's secretly draining your business)Why most delegation fails—and how to fix itHow to ask better questions to unlock your team's geniusThe 7 ingredients of a sustainable, values-driven cultureHow to build trust, accountability, and performance—without micromanaging Key Takeaways:✔️Buy-in starts with you: Authentic leadership means modeling the culture you want to see.✔️Three is greater than seven: Too many priorities means no priorities. Focus is freedom.✔️Meetings should energize, not drain: Start with expectations, end with feedback, make space for participation.✔️Delegation requires clarity: Define the desired outcome, success criteria, and escalation agreements up front.✔️Culture already exists—you're either shaping it or letting it shape you.✔️Curiosity beats control: Great leaders ask questions. Let your team show you how they think. Timestamps:[00:00] – Introduction to Dave & the concept of buy-in[03:00] – What buy-in really means (and where it gets lost)[07:00] – How leadership is evolving post-pandemic[12:00] – Signs your company lacks buy-in[17:00] – Why entrepreneurs sabotage their own teams[23:00] – Questions that build buy-in and culture[30:00] – Delegation that actually works[37:00] – Prioritization: why less is more[44:00] – The secret to powerful employee reviews[48:00] – Defining and living your company values[55:00] – Seven key ingredients to building a buy-in culture[01:02:00] – Practical advice to start creating buy-in today[01:07:00] – Final wisdom: humility, curiosity, and co-creation Connect with DaveGet Dave's book: The Buy-In AdvantageBonus resources when you buy: 45 powerful questions to drive buy-inJoin The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs scaling through connectionApply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to build your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?Attend Live Events – Get in the room where long-term success is built: https://mindofgeorge.com/event/

A strong project kickoff strategy can make or break your software project. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit and expand upon their earlier episode, Mastering the Project Kickoff – Setting the Stage for Success. This time, they use AI not to redefine strategy, but to reflect on what worked, what's changed, and what new insights can improve how teams approach kickoffs today. The result is a deeper, more refined look at launching software projects with intention and clarity—before writing a single line of code. Why Your Project Kickoff Strategy Still Matters “Two weeks in, and no one agrees on the goal.” It's a story most developers know too well. The reason? A weak or nonexistent project kickoff strategy. Rob and Michael break down how early misalignment on goals, responsibilities, or MVPs can derail projects quickly. To avoid this, teams need a consistent, structured approach that starts before the first line of code is written. How AI Improves Your Project Kickoff Strategy AI can't replace a good team conversation, but it can support a better project kickoff strategy by helping structure discussions, define deliverables, and highlight gaps in planning. Some examples AI tools can generate: Stakeholder role outlines Risk assessment prompts Project objective statements Kickoff meeting checklists With good prompting, AI becomes a partner in better planning. Core Elements of a Strong Project Kickoff Strategy A repeatable project kickoff strategy should include the following: 1. Purpose and Objectives What are we building, and why? Define the business problem and expected outcome clearly. 2. Team Roles and Ownership List all stakeholders, assign responsibilities, and clarify decision-makers. Misunderstood roles create avoidable blockers. 3. Process and Delivery Plan Establish your delivery method (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) and how progress will be tracked, tested, and shared. 4. MVP and Scope Control Rob and Michael emphasize: everything must map to the MVP. If it doesn't, reconsider the feature. 5. Documentation and Visibility Centralize everything. Use Notion, Confluence, or shared drives, and record meetings for searchability and auditability. Warning Signs of a Poor Kickoff Strategy Michael and Rob call out red flags that reveal when your project kickoff strategy is weak or broken: No written MVP or goals Absent stakeholders during planning Overlapping roles with unclear boundaries “We'll figure it out later” mindset No documentation or decision logs Ignoring these signs leads to confusion, rework, and a breakdown in team trust. Anchor Your Kickoff Strategy with an MVP “If your feature doesn't pass a test, it's not part of your MVP.” Michael shares a practical tip: create user stories first, then turn them into pass/fail tests. This ensures that your project kickoff strategy stays laser-focused on outcomes—not distractions like UI polish or edge-case bells and whistles. Challenge: Audit Your Project Kickoff Strategy Before your next launch, hold a quick strategy review. Ask: Do we have a clearly defined MVP? Are team roles written and confirmed? Are meeting notes and decisions documented? Does every feature connect to project goals? If not, revise your strategy now—before you waste time.

In this episode of Notable Leaders' Radio, I sit down with Andy Crocker, author of The Unconditionals, to explore how five core values, unconditional love, gratitude, integrity, accountability, and endeavor, can transform how we face challenges and build resilience. Andy shares powerful insights and real-life stories that reveal how grounding yourself in these values can help you recover from failure faster, pivot with purpose, and live a life defined by meaning, not perfection.

When you stop viewing setbacks as defeat, you recover faster and grow wiser, equipped to seize new opportunities with greater clarity and courage. Define success on your own terms. Ditch the societal checklist. Pursuing fulfillment, not perfection, leads to greater joy, authenticity, and personal achievement. Pivot with purpose when life shifts. Unexpected turns are inevitable. A values-based mindset empowers you to adjust course with intention and rediscover meaning, even in the midst of change. Embrace imperfection as a path to progress. Mastery isn't about getting it right the first time—it's about learning, evolving, and moving forward without fear of failure.

Brian Skrobonja talks about the essentials of building a multi-generational legacy that lasts. He breaks down a blueprint rooted in time-tested principles and inspired by the same structural thinking used by families like the Rockefellers. Tune in to hear the assumptions that leave heirs rudderless, the mistakes that breed entitlement, and why conventional financial tools often fail under the weight of multi-century ambitions. Whether you're building wealth or preparing to pass it on, this episode will challenge your thinking and equip you with a legacy framework designed to stand the test of time. Brian starts by reframing real financial success. It's not just what you accumulate—but what you pass on. Without intentional legacy planning, families risk watching their values and vision fade after just one generation. Mindset 1—The absence of active legacy planning. Too many families assume wealth will transfer naturally from bank account to mindset. But without a clear plan, the next generation never learns—and that's how legacies crumble. According to Brian, active legacy planning is not built on ticking a checkbox. You need a blueprint that makes everything else—governance, communication, liquidity—actually work.  Brian says, “In every family I've worked with, eventually the time comes and one question rises: What happens when we're no longer here to steer the ship?” Most families don't answer that until it's too late. For Brian, legal paperwork alone won't cut it. True generational planning requires a living, breathing roadmap that captures your values, evolves with your family, and keeps everyone aligned for decades. Brian highlights a dangerous myth: “Signing a will means we're done and everything will be taken care of.” In reality, active planning means constant alignment, revisiting, revising, and re-engaging the whole family. Use Brian's four-part legacy framework to build clarity and momentum. 1. Define your why—write down what your wealth is for. 2. Create a manifesto, explain it plain English, and make it accessible to all. 3. Invite the next generation—have low-pressure and honest conversations with the next generation. 4. Always revisit your plan—keep it alive, current, and reflective of your evolving world. Mindset 2—Scarcity thinking sabotages legacy. Fear of spending or deploying capital kills bold moves, breeds conservatism, and shrinks your family's vision for impact. How to overcome a scarcity mindset. Audit your past decisions for fear-based choices. Then reframe with an abundance vision and build purpose-driven allocation buckets that multiply impact. Mindset 3—Secrecy and poor communication. Brian explains that when wealth conversations stay behind closed doors, heirs grow entitled, misinformed, or resentful.  Mindset 4—The next generation cannot learn wealth management through osmosis. Watching you isn't enough. They need education.  Mindset 5—Lacking a unified multi-generational strategy. For Brian, a will or a trust isn't enough. Without a cohesive blueprint, every generation is forced to reinvent the wheel, wasting time, money, and vision. Mindset 6—Weak governance weakens families. Brian highlights that good intentions and informal chats aren't enough. You need clear roles, rules, and decision frameworks to keep wealth and relationships intact. Mindset 7—The over reliance on conventional tools. If your portfolio is all accounts and products, you're missing the chance to create a private banking system that cushions volatility and funds opportunity. Brian highlights the need for flexibility. Have an inventory of tools, understand their limits, then build liquidity through mechanisms like build banking. This ensures your strategy stays stable, resilient, and future-ready. Mindset 8—Poor cash flow management crushes vision. Ambition means nothing if spending is unchecked. When families can't see real-time cash flow, legacies stall—fast. Mindset 9—No legacy mindset. Often, the first generation builds wealth. Generation two spends it. Generation three starts over. That's the cycle—unless you teach them the how and the why of wealth preservation early. Brian shares a way to stop entitlement. When you educate heirs about purpose—not just access to wealth—you shift the mindset from consumption to contribution. Mindset 10—No capital allocation plan. A legacy without funding is just a dream. Real impact requires dollars earmarked for growth, trust, and education initiatives from the start. Brian explains—It's not about protecting wealth. It's about activating it. Legacy is about empowering future generations to dream big, move boldly, and live true to your mission. Intentionality is the multiplier. The more proactive and clear your planning, the higher your family's odds of sustained success—across decades, not just years. When your family is aligned, everything changes. Confusion gives way to confidence. Inherited wealth becomes a platform for innovation, service, and lasting impact.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

What if your family dysfunction isn't the end of your story, but the beginning of a new legacy?This is a raw and real story about grace, brokenness, and the power of keeping a promise. Teaching from 2 Samuel 9, this message zooms in on the story of Mephibosheth, a forgotten, crippled man hiding in shame, who's fetched by a king and given a seat at the royal table. It's not just about a guy in the Bible, it's about you. It's about the lies we believe and the truth that sets us free. If you think your past disqualifies you, this one's for you.Mephibosheth was dropped, forgotten, and hiding in Lo-Debar, literally meaning “no pasture.” But King David doesn't send punishment. He sends grace. He remembers a covenant and pulls Mephibosheth into a new life, a new identity, and a new seat at the table. That's what Jesus does for us. We come in thinking we're too broken, bracing for judgment, and we're met with lovingkindness instead. You're not a project. You're not a lost cause. You're family now.

What Japanese Presenters Get Wrong Clients have some common problems with their Japanese leaders.  I know this because the same requests keep coming up.  This is across industries and companies and it is consistent.  Usually Japanese presenters are excellent at assembling lots of data and information.  They can really pack a lot into a few slides.  When they present it is like a waterfall of wonderous content, just flowing forth, without much structure or clarity.  Somehow the bosses have to work out the key points for themselves, because the staff's job focuses on accumulating hoards of data and then putting it all up on screen.  The presenter is almost invisible, has low energy, speaks in a quiet voice you can struggle to hear and blends well into the wall paper. This doesn't work so well in international meetings and Japan looks weak and ineffectual to the rest of the far flung company world. We are battling two giants here.  One is the educational system and the other is Japanese culture.  I earned my Masters Degree here in Tokyo, so I have seen up close and personal what a high school education prepares you for and what universities do with that raw clay.  An argument could have been made, prior to the advent of the internet, that the ability to memorise vast quantities of information and regurgitate it on command was a serious capability.  We can find any thing very quickly today thanks to search engines, so having to memorise gobs of stuff isn't as important as it once may have been. I see it in my son's education when he was at international High School here.  They were required to have laptops and everything was done online.  His generations' issue is there is too much information. How do you find the best and correct data, how do you sort the wheat from the chaff?  Young people are digital natives, but they are all drinking from the firehose of all data every recorded, sitting just a few clicks away. We teach our students to start at the end.  Define in as short a sentence as possible, the most important key message you want to impart.  This is not as easy as it sounds. You have to be brutal with yourself.  You have to eliminate all the nice to have, all the interesting to have and refine it down to the must have.  Just throwing up a lot of data on screen doesn't require as much thinking, as refining the data into the gold nuggets for the audience.  Discerning the key message then allows us to build the structure for the argument and to align the necessary evidence in order to be convincing to our audience. The first words coming out of our mouth have a powerful role.  Everyone seems easily distracted today, have miniscule concentration spans and are quickly bored.  So we need to say something that really breaks through that wall of indifference and grab their attention.  There is no point launching that blockbuster opening in a squeaky, unsure, timid little voice.  People will be flying for their phones to escape you.  No, we need a strong voice, standing or sitting tall if online, when we kick things off.  We have to be oozing confidence. “But Story san, my English is so poor, I have no confidence”.  This is another trope we often hear.  Here we have Japanese perfectionism, no defect, no errors and no mistake culture colliding with the Education Department's failed efforts to teach the population English.  Don't accept that excuse.  No one cares about linguistic perfection in business meetings, except the Japanese staff when they have to speak in English.  Give them the “no grammar needed” escape jail card for the meetings, to give them permission to speak without fear and let the rest of us work out what it is they want to say.  We are used to this and are all pretty good at it. Just being able to isolate the key take away and deliver that in a confident manner will be a revolution to business meetings where Japanese have to present.  Not having to wade through all the dross to understand the key point will be a relief.  Having one idea per slide will be a life saver for everyone – make this the iron rule for Japanese presenters.  This forces the selection of only the most important information to be shown.  The result will be a much clearer messaging effort and greater clarity around what exactly is that message.  Confidence sells the message, so the delivery has to be sold in that manner.  Rehearsal is critical for Japanese speakers and so is coaching.  This applies to whatever language they are presenting in, because you can guarantee the issues will be present in both languages to a great extent.  When giving feedback to anyone, only look at two elements and tell them what they are doing well and then tell them how they can do it even better.  This will build confidence and create a momentum that will maximise capability.  What does all of this cost?  Nothing, so let's get to it.

Al momento de la entrevista la autora argentina estaba en Brasil leyendo al chileno Andrés Montero, comentó su estrecha relación con ese país (ya que pasó su infancia ahí), y la confianza que tiene al confirmar que no sabe cuál es su tierra y que se siente a veces desarraigada; A los 13 años devoraba los libros de Mario Vargas Llosa y Gabriel García Márquez y tuvo un paso intenso por la psicología forense que abandonó para dedicarse a la literatura; Define la escritura como una deriva y como un "habitar la pregunta", ahondó sobre qué le da sentido para salir de la cama día a día.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Your Actions Are the Real Clarity Test  July 9, 2025 | Episode 5133 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Tired of overthinking your next move? Scott reveals why your actions, not your thoughts, are the true test of clarity. Through a real coaching conversation with longtime client Paula, you'll discover how to break free from the "yes trap" and create space for what actually matters to you. Whether you're stuck in business decisions or personal crossroads, this episode cuts through the confusion with practical steps that work. Stop chat-GPT'ing your life and start taking action that reveals what you really want. Featured Story Paula, a retired kayaking instructor and 20-year coaching client, faced a common dilemma: loving what she does but wanting to transition from teaching to mentoring. The organization kept asking her to teach, and she couldn't say no, even though she craved more personal time on the water. Scott walked her through a four-step process to redefine her role, identify her ideal students, and finally set boundaries that honor both her wisdom and her desires. Important Points Actions reveal clarity better than endless planning or thinking – if you want to know what you truly want, start doing something and let the path unfold. Define exactly who you want to help and what they really need, not what you think they should learn – Paula's students wanted confidence, safety, and fun, not just kayaking techniques. Set new rules and communicate them clearly to everyone involved – people expect and respect when you honor your life stage and priorities. Memorable Quotes "Your actions reveal clarity. If you're sitting around thinking it through, that's not action." "As soon as you know who you're going to help, you get that instant motivation and clarity." "You're retired, you're older, they all know that. You're not surprising anybody to tell them you want to slow down and enjoy your life." Scott's Three-Step Approach Put your priorities on your calendar first, then remove what doesn't serve your goals – create space for what matters most before adding new commitments. Identify your ideal person to help and discover what they truly want, then promise to deliver exactly that – focus your energy on people who light you up. Decide your new role in current situations and communicate the new rules clearly – let everyone know what you will and won't do moving forward.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you invest in training high-potential employees to grow into leadership roles—or do you prefer to hire seasoned pros from the start? There's no one-size-fits-all approach to building a great team, but today's featured guest has a clear philosophy: when it comes to agency growth, he prefers to develop A-players from within. For him, building the bench is just as important as building the business. Hamlet Azarian is the founder and CEO of Azarian Growth Agency, an agency that works with mid-market venture-backed startups helping them build their go-to-market strategies. He discusses his agency's "build them up" strategy, focusing on continual learning and curiosity through an academy, webinars, and internships, rather than solely hiring seasoned professionals. He'll address the common agency challenge of talent retention, noting that positive experiences can still lead to future referrals and positive word-of-mouth, even if employees eventually move on. It's an interesting episode where we dive into the importance of human capital and fostering a supportive, value-driven environment for agency success. In this episode, we'll discuss: Growing talent from scratch. Promote those who are ready to shine. The secret to employee retention.  Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

From Go-to Fixer to Full Agency Before he was running his own growth agency, Hamlet was the go-to fixer for venture-backed startups in the trenches of pre-product chaos. VCs brought him in as a high-paid consultant to help fragile startups figure out product validation and go-to-market traction — a risky sandbox where there's barely a product and hardly any money. As the companies he touched turned into multi-million-dollar powerhouses, word got around, more VCs lined up, and the Azarian Growth Agency was born. So as he recalls, it wasn't exactly an accidental start, but considering he was helping startups that could barely write a check, he could not see it turning into a full agency in the beginning. A Culture of Relentless Learning One thing Hamlet doesn't compromise on is curiosity. If you run an agency, you know yesterday's marketing tactic is today's LinkedIn meme. So instead of hiring only ‘seasoned experts,' He invests in creating lifelong learners. How? He built Azarian Growth Academy, which trains up-and-coming marketers on the exact growth strategies his agency deploys for high-stakes startups. Add to that a monthly Growth Lab webinar, Udemy courses (4,000+ students and counting), and a robust internship pipeline — and you get a team that knows not just what to do, but why it works. Education is really central for Hamlet so his people don't just follow checklists — they evolve with the market because they understand the principles behind the tactics. Growing Talent from Scratch (and Letting Them Fly) Does it work? Hamlet shares a story that answers that better than any hiring manifesto. One intern joined as a college senior, left, and rejoined when Hamlet officially hung out his agency shingle. When he saw her application, Hamlet immediately hired her, as she knew her aptitude, passion, and even her weaknesses. Within 6 months, she was running paid ads. By year one, she was pitching clients solo. By year two, she was leading teams and today she's a senior department head. The lesson here is drive and curiosity should be backed with training, opportunity, and real trust. The payoff is massive loyalty and in-house expertise that's molded to your agency's playbook — not someone else's. Promotion by Performance, Not the Calendar Forget annual reviews and rigid promotion ladders. Hamlet's approach is simple: Learn fast, deliver results, get rewarded. To him, some people shine faster than others and, as the agency owners, you don't to limit that potential. Of course, you want to prepare them for the new role, so he tests emerging talent on internal agency projects before putting them on client accounts. If they mess up, the agency learns — not the client's bank account. It's a safe sandbox for risk-taking and skill-building, with performance as the only true gatekeeper to moving up. Flexibility: The Secret Sauce to Keeping Good People How can you keep that talent from jumping ship the second they hit senior level? You don't always. And Hamlet says that's perfectly fine. Even with AI evolving daily, Hamlet's clear that an agency's real moat is people — smart, motivated, curious people who feel trusted and supported to do their best work. Tools change. Channels come and go. But the humans who run them? That's your agency's real asset. In his view, the agency's success is predicated on the owner's ability to bring in talented people on to the team and provide a great environment that encourages them to stay. And the definition of “great” in this case may vary from individual to individual, but Hamlet finds that more than  perks or a foosball table or free LaCroix, it's about freedom. People need room to live their lives — whether that's hopping on a plane to Italy with the kids, or working flexible hours so family time doesn't clash with client deadlines. When people feel understood and trusted, they stay longer. And if they do leave? They become allies, not competitors. Many send referrals back. Some boomerang and return. And nearly all say, “That's where I learned how to do great work.” That reputation becomes your best recruiting tool — a self-feeding loop of great people wanting in. Experience vs. Fresh Eyes: A Never-Ending Balancing Act There's a million ways to grow an agency and there are no easy answers when it comes to hiring. Even if you hire the “experienced pro,” they can become rigid and slow to adapt — a death knell for early-stage growth marketing where experimentation rules. Hamlet's advice is don't bet the farm on resumes alone. Bet on mindset. Surround yourself with good people who share the same values. Look for curiosity, a love of learning, and the ability to fail, recover, and share lessons. Skills can be taught. Hunger can't. Define what you believe. Hire for it relentlessly. Train for skill, reward growth, and build an environment people don't want to leave — and if they do, they still sing your praises. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Your first month as a leader matters—don't let the momentum fade.In this week's episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault breaks down what really needs to happen in the critical first 30 days of a new leadership role. The initial excitement has worn off, the hallway hellos have faded, and now all eyes are on you to lead.This episode delivers five strategic moves to help you transition from being the “new hire” to a respected, trusted leader who gets things done—without falling into the trap of overthinking, overworking, or burning out.Whether you've just stepped into a new role or want to reset your leadership presence, this episode will help you lead with confidence and intention in the moments that matter most.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Clarify your mandate—don't assume alignment. Ask your boss directly: “What does success look like in 90 days?” Get it in writing and compare it with what your team expects. Misalignment erodes trust fast.2. Define your leadership style early. Let your team know how you operate—your preferences, boundaries, and expectations. Consistency builds psychological safety and makes you easier to follow.3. Deliver a visible, meaningful win. Find a low-risk, high-impact problem to solve. Don't wait for people to notice—communicate what you did and why it matters.4. Deepen relationships with key players. Schedule check-ins with your boss, your team, and key peers. Use “reverse feedback” meetings to invite trust and collaboration.5. Anchor yourself emotionally. Imposter syndrome often kicks in by week four. Keep a list of what's working and give yourself credit—your brain needs proof that you're making progress.“People this month might not be giving you polite in the hallway anymore. And they're looking and starting to judge—which by the way is completely normal.” - Karen GombaultBy the end of your first month, you're no longer the new person. You're the leader. This episode gives you the practical steps to solidify trust, define your leadership brand, and stay grounded while pressure builds.

In C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan tells Lucy, “Things never happen the same way twice.” It's a good reminder that life brings changes. They're unavoidable, but how we choose to meet them is up to us. Sharon Epps joins us today with sage advice about preparing for life's transitions.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Lessons from NarniaC.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia holds a surprising amount of wisdom for real life. In one poignant scene, Aslan comforts Lucy Pevensie about the changes she and her siblings are facing. “Things never happen the same way twice,” Aslan tells her. Change is constant, and each new season requires fresh wisdom. Even when we're no longer in school, the rhythms of August to May still shape our lives and planning.When Life Goes Into Transition, Money Goes Into MotionFinancial author Mitch Anthony says it best: “Money goes into motion when life goes into transition.” Whether you're sending a child off to college, caring for aging parents, or planning a move, each change brings financial decisions with it. Here are five strategies to help us steward these moments well:1. Pray for WisdomEvery new season needs fresh wisdom. You can learn the hard way through pain or the better way through prayer. Proverbs 3:6 reminds us: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”2. Seek Godly CounselLearn from those who've been there. If you're sending your first child to college, ask parents of graduates what they'd do differently. Their experience can save you time, money, and stress.3. Plan the Financial Details of the TransitionWith college, for example, have you clarified who will cover living expenses? Will your child work part-time? Will you offer a monthly stipend? Define expectations now to avoid confusion later.4. Prepare for the UnexpectedThings rarely go according to plan. What if your child runs out of money mid-semester? Do you have an emergency fund? Thinking through these “what ifs” now builds resilience.5. Communicate Ahead of TimeGood communication brings clarity and accountability. Whether you're dealing with a child, a spouse, or a realtor, the earlier you clarify financial expectations, the smoother the transition will be.These five practices are simple but powerful. They'll help you stay grounded through every kind of life change. And remember, God doesn't just care about what we go through—He cares about how we go through it. Let's walk into our next season with prayerful wisdom, godly counsel, and faithful stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm new to investing and want to understand the basics of the stock market, as well as how to avoid scams.I'm considering buying precious metals to pass on to my children and grandchildren.

Source:  worldtribune.com Trump Announces Tariffs For South Africa, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Kazakstan The letters closely follow those sent out earlier in the day to Japan and South Korea, whose products will be hit by a 25 percent tariff rate beginning August 1. Trump told Myanmar and Laos that they will face 40 percent tariffs on their exports, slightly lower than the rates announced at the Trump administration's April 2nd Liberation Day event. In April, Trump said Myanmar would face a 44 percent tariff and Laos a 48 percent tariff. South Africa will face 30 percent tariffs, the same rate announced on Liberation Day. Kazakhstan and Malaysia will both face 25 percent rates, Trump said. Kazakhstan was looking at a 27 percent tariff on Liberation Day and Malaysia was set to be hit with a 24 percent tariff. The administration appears to be fixing tariff rates in five percentage point steps, rounding up or down from the Liberation Day tariffs.   (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); Political/Rights Schumer demands investigation of Trump Weather Service vacancies in wake of Texas flooding
