If you haven't, I bet one of your co-leaders has.What does that mean, though? And why does it happen? In this episode we talk about how leaders should respond when they feel the monkeys are running the zoo and discuss another type of 'zoo' that should be avoided at all costs!Links and resources mentioned in the showThe Authentimeter (free culture survey with option for detailed analysis of results)Plenty in 20: Holding People Accountable when you Can't Afford to Lose Them (free, on-demand webinar with actionable strategies and tips)The Culture Nerds Newsletter, a free monthly summary of subscriber resoucesOrganisational Culture Surveys for those who want to explore our servicesWhat's next?Talk to one of our culture and leadership experts - a free 30 minute consultation to problem solve any issue you are facing.Detailed show descriptionThe culture of your workplace doesn't just happens—it's shaped by leadership choices and team behaviours. In this episode, Simon Thiessen use the 'monkeys running the zoo' metaphor to discuss 'three zoos' that perfectly capture different workplace cultures and the leadership approaches that create them.What happens when the monkeys are running the zoo? This environment emerges when leaders fail to set clear standards or hold people accountable. Mediocrity becomes normalised, high performers grow frustrated, and when leaders try to raise standards, resistance is fierce. Simon unpacks the affiliative or absent leadership styles that create these situations.The second zoo represents workplaces ruled by fear, where people avoid taking risks, hide problems, and dread coming to work. These environments stem from directive, demanding, and critical leadership that breaks trust and stifles initiative. Simon shares real-world examples of this fear becoming embedded, requiring consistent positive experiences to rebuild confidence.But there's a third option. The ideal workplace where people operate with freedom within clear, agreed-upon standards. Here, people understand their purpose, collaborate naturally, and hold each other accountable. Research consistently shows these environments produce happier employees, better customer experiences, and superior results across all metrics.Creating this culture requires conscious leadership rather than defaulting to comfortable habits, clarity of vision about what excellence looks like, willingness to change (starting with leaders), and a tolerance for the uncomfortable. The journey isn't easy, but the rewards are transformative.Workplace culture is shaped by leadership choice.

DescriptionThe airport bestsellers that captured our hearts and ruined our mindsWebsite: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2040953What I Liked About This EpisodeI loved that they took two seconds to introduce each other. They jump right into the book, and Peter has great audio. It also shows this isn't just two people talking about a book, so instantly, this show is doing something different. They both did a good of referring to each other by their name. I loved the sarcasm.What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingMichael's audio needs work. Peter sounding great makes Michael's audio sound worse. My guess is he is using a Blue Yeti on his desk too far away from him. Check out my podcast equipment guide.

DescriptionThe principal agent of evangelization is the Holy Spirit. Today I want to share two convictions that I hold about how to actually follow the Holy Spirit in talks; two ways to think about how we can best be led by the Holy Spirit before, and during the talks that we give. Because after all the Holy Spirit is the principal, primary agent of evangelization. If anyone is evangelized it is because the Holy Spirit has intervened, and helped to make it so! As I mentioned in the first episode of season two, we're going to vary it up with our episodes. First, interviews with prominent Catholic speakers and priests. Second, solo episodes with just me and the microphone And third guided conversations about particular topics related to speaking to Catholic audiences with my good friend Connor Flanagan. This episode is that third kind. Connor Flanagan is taking the lead and hosting this conversation: How to Follow the Holy Spirit in Talks. Looking for St Dominic's Prayer Postures?

In today's episode, McKay explores the power of knowing and learning through experience. Recounting a variety of stories and examples, McKay emphasizes the importance of this way of learning and living, and highlights the negative impact of shifting from knowing by experience to knowing by description. Throughout the episode, he encourages listeners to engage with the world around them and put in the effort to truly come to know and learn.Our host also touches upon the idea of being a prisoner in our own lives and the walls that can keep us from learning and growing. Through the story of Ingrid Olsen, a recently divorced mother who takes a long bike ride in search of spiritual solace, the host illustrates the power of faith and determination in overcoming life's challenges. His words of wisdom today serve as a reminder for listeners to step out of their comfort zones and actively seek out new experiences and knowledge, regardless of the challenges that may arise. By learning through experience and engaging with the world around us, McKay assures us all that we can break down those walls that may be holding us back and live a more fulfilling life. Episode Highlights:Trivia and knowledgeThe importance of experiential knowledgeThe impact of the shift from knowing by experience to knowing by descriptionThe effort necessary to really know and understand a person or a principleParents becoming ‘personal assistants' to their childrenExpanding knowledge in all areas of our livesAvoiding falling back into negative patternsEmbracing opportunities to learn and growQuotes:"But is knowing trivia really knowledge? Is it useful?""Well, it might be a good sign that you can remember things, but does it make you a better decision maker? Does it give you direction in your life?""Those with whom you are interacting are either buying into you or not buying in at all.""It's not really about the product or message. It is about you.""We have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things, but we've lost the power, the personal power of knowing by experience.""The mentally poor life is a life that lacks feeling, depth, or emotion.""What you come to know can bless your life for years to come.""There's more in life than what we know today.""We have choices that can help us step out and come to know new and amazing things in our lives.""Success comes from taking risks and learning from experience."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Take a minute to get the scoop!Listen to: Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 45, The "Farewell" Symphony ℅ YouTubeFun FactThe symphony could not be performed without the purchase of some special equipment. Haydn signed an order for two special half-step slides for use by the horn players. These slightly lengthened the horn's tubing, permitting the instrument to be used to play in keys a semitone lower than usual. The horn of the time was the valveless natural horn, which needed to be adjusted with inserted crooks to play in different keys. About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer living in Toronto.

DescriptionThe world of trailer music evolved composer Kati Falk-Flores' skills beyond her classical training into writing the larger-than-life, cinematic music needed for the promotion of Hollywood's biggest films.From the heartwarming piece used for advertising Disney's Mary Poppins Returns to the dark exploration of humanity used for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Kati's music resonates with audiences for its “powerful role in storytelling” and has won both CLIO and Golden Trailer Awards.While trailer music has given Kati well-earned skill in writing orchestral-hybrid music, emotive storytelling takes the front seat for both her concert works and music for media, just as it did in the violin-feature orchestral work Awakening, commissioned in 2015.Currently, Kati balances composing trailer music with writing music for indie film projects.

This episode tackles the topical sermon.Show Notes:The Topical Sermon I. A DescriptionThe name defines it. It is a sermon built around a topic.In a topical sermon, the divisions of the sermon must be invented by the preacher, based upon his knowledge of the subject throughout the whole Bible. This does not mean the sermon will not be biblical, but it does limit the divisions of the sermon to what the preacher knows about the subject. The divisions of the topical sermon will derive from the subject.The preacher must gather what the Bible teaches about the subject and then he must organize that data into a logical presentation. II. The AdvantagesThe topical sermon allows for the full treatment of a subject as it is dealt with by the entirety of Scripture. (I.E. Doctrine, biographical sketches, particular subjects such as fear, love, peace, etc.)The topical sermon allows the preacher unlimited use of his skills of inventiveness and oratory.Topical sermons are generally easier to prepare than any other variety of sermons.III. The DisadvantagesThe topical sermon is too easily colored by the preacher's personal views and prejudices.Topical sermons are usually too general in their scope.The topical sermon presents too narrow a field of truth.The preacher's interests, knowledge, and experience hold the scope of the subjects, which are treated, captive.Often, the divisions of the sermon become mere links in a chain. The number and order of the divisions are dictated in a purely arbitrary fashion. The number of points in most topical sermons could be reduced or enlarged without any violence being done to the sermon.Often, the preacher will approach the Bible with a subject already in mind. Walter C. Kaiser says the following about topical sermons, “The preacher should preach a topical sermon only once every five years, and then immediately repent and ask God's forgiveness!”IV. The BalanceAll of these weaknesses aside, the topical sermon does have its place.When the subject of the sermon is not adequately treated by any single passage of Scripture.When the preacher must preach on a subject in a general way. Such as, delivering a sermon on some doctrine with which the audience is unfamiliar.When preaching the plan of salvation to a group of unsaved people.When dealing with social or ethical problems that did not exist in Bible times. Although, it should be stated, that while the Bible is silent about many modern issues, there are principles in the Scripture that speak to every area of life.The preacher should beware of following into the trap of making any type of sermon his God.V. Types Of Topical SermonsThere are those that point out the various aspects of a subject. (I.E. prayer, praise, salvation, etc.)There are those that exist to state proof to support the subject. This would be a sermon built around argumentation. (I.E. Proofs of the Resurrection)There are those that illustrate the subject by using Bible incidents or biographical sketches. (I.E. Faith in Difficult Times.)There are those that order the sermon divisions to cover the subject from explanation to application.1. The subject is stated2. The subject is argued3. The subject is illustrated4. The subject is appliedThere are topical sermons that are built upon an analogy. (Analogy – pointing out the resemblance between two things.) This type of topical sermon might use a physical object to point out some truth about the subject. (I.E. The rainbow.)
DescriptionThe description of Jesus Smart podcast is "The show that goes beyond waiting for heaven. Beyond religion. Jesus is brilliant ... he knows how life works best." My First ImpressionI liked the audio and the flow of this show. It keeps moving and feels well organized. I liked that you were telling stories. I might've moved point 1 in between your story 1 and story 2 to kind of get going on that list a little sooner, but again, the show kept moving. Because the show was moving at a decent pace, I would keep listening to hear the other points Some minor things to consider For me (A Christian) when someone uses LOTS of Jesus Jargon I worry that non-believers may get turned off as they may not quite understand what "Kingdom Training" is and feel left out.

DescriptionThe "My Randumbness" podcast is about what I have learned and what I am still learning about this journey that we call life. This week I will talk about how not to waste your time proving who you are. I discussed in podcast that it was a behavioral scientist who was doing a study between dogs and a cheetah, which happens to be incorrect. The correct information was a race against greyhounds and cheetahs. The race took place in December 1937 at London's Romford Stadium. But the write up I saw was an advertisement for Audi S4 Quattro which slogan was “nothing to prove”.

A discussion on existentialism and terrorism DescriptionThe robotic revolution is here and there s no going back. From the way we raise our children, to our work settings, to our governments, and even our wars, the quick fix-instant result society is roiling our world. Yet what is lost in this delirium is depth, the awesomeness, not just of our machines, but of our flesh, our capacity to feel, and our capacity to dwell in the miracle of the unknown. This book dwells in the miracle of the unknown. It is an intimate trek into the evolving spirituality of awe--the humility and wonder; sense of adventure toward life. Can we preserve awe--the arguable "heart" of humanity--in spite of and even in light of our technologies? Or will we devolve into mechanically driven puppets, numb to our possibilities, blind to our servitude? There is no more critical problem for our age."ReviewThe dehumanization of life in the new computer driven society...leads to a gradual death of feeling. When people are cut off from feeling they are more likely to act out in destructive and potentially violent behavior. In The Spirituality of Awe, Kirk Schneider elaborates the negative consequences of what he calls the Robotic Revolution. In this important book, the author offers an alternative in his conception of an awe-based psychology that emphasizes both the mystery and magnificence of existence. I am personally inspired by Schneider s concern and ethical approach to coping with the problem of maintaining one s human heritage in the new society. --Robert Firestone, Ph.D., author of Overcoming the Destructive Inner Voice: True Stories of Therapy and Transformation, and (with Joyce Catlett) Beyond Death Anxiety: Achieving Life-affirming Death AwarenessIn a world where many feel dehumanized and devalued, we need courage and clarity to widen our perspective and find new purpose. In this book Kirk Schneider offers a sensitive and incisive new narrative to help us reconsider what our lives are about today. He gathers wisdom from his long experience, and freely combines this with the insights of psychology, psychotherapy, philosophy, sociology, religion, literature and cinema to create a new vision of where we are heading and how we may change direction before it is too late. Fascinating and essential reading for therapists and lay readers alike. --Prof Emmy van Deurzen, PhD, Principal of the New School for Psychotherapy and Counseling, UK; author of Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling in Practice and Psychotherapy and the Quest for Happiness"...a beautiful and important work." --Pninit Russo-Netzer, PhD, Lecturer, University of Haifa; co-editor of Meaning in Positive and Existential PsychologyAbout the AuthorKirk Schneider, Ph.D., is an internationally renowned psychologist and author.
