In this interactive session, Jeff and Jim host a game of "Majority Rules," where the audience competes not to answer correctly, but to guess the most popular answer in the room.The game covers a wide range of topics, from the trivial (worst conference swag and the official uniform of an IAM architect) to the technical (securing API keys, the biggest bottlenecks in IGA, and the primary causes of role explosion).Things get intense halfway through with the introduction of the Battle Royale rules, where picking the minority answer sends a player's score back to zero.

Hello, to you listening in Neenah, Wisconsin!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.A few years ago I had to make the decision to send my kitty over the Rainbow Bridge. He had been living pretty well with kidney disease but I noticed changes. What to do? Is it time? We're coming into the holidays. Will the home visit vet  be available?The day before they were to leave for a week with their son and daughter-in-law my sister and her husband were faced with the Rainbow Bridge decision for their good and faithful dog who had been ailing with cancer and old age. What to do? Cancel the trip? Find a dog sitter?Recently, my friend was placed in a position of having to leave a relationship because it had become very difficult and dangerous. What to do? How to do it? When to do it?Maybe you see yourself in these situations. I have a solution. The choice we're called on to make isn't between what is right and what is wrong. The decision is between what is right and what is best.My sister and I knew we had done right by our animal companions over the many years of time together and care. Now it was time to do what was best for them. Likewise, my friend knew that she had done what was right for the relationship; now it was time to do what was best for herself.  Practical Tip: When faced with a situation that places you at a crossroads of what to do and how to do it, consider asking yourself: How might I choose between what is right and what is best?

As project managers, we spend a lot of time talking about tools, processes, and delivery frameworks—but far less time talking about the invisible structure that holds projects together: trust. In this Top Shelf Replay episode of Project Management Happy Hour, Kim Essendrup and Kate Anderson revisit one of the show's earliest and most enduring concepts: Trust Bricks. Originally recorded in 2018, this short but powerful episode explores how trust is built—not through grand gestures or heroic saves—but through consistent, everyday actions that compound over time. The core idea is simple: trust is predictability. When you repeatedly do what you say you'll do—whether that's sending meeting notes on time, honoring estimates, or showing up prepared—you lay one small Trust Brick at a time. Over weeks, months, and years, those bricks form a structure strong enough to withstand missed deadlines, bad news, or the occasional broken promise. Kim and Kate break down why Trust Bricks matter so much in project environments: Teams are more honest with you when they trust you Estimates improve when people believe they won't be punished for telling the truth Difficult conversations become easier when everyone believes you're on the same side Sponsors give you more latitude when your track record is consistent The conversation also explores what happens when trust breaks—and how the same Trust Brick approach can be used to rebuild credibility. Rather than trying to restore trust with a single "big win," the hosts argue that rebuilding starts small: partial deliverables, frequent check-ins, and deliberately meeting micro-commitments until confidence is restored. In the replay commentary, Kim and Kate reflect on how their thinking has evolved since the original recording. They discuss: The role of showing up consistently, even when no explicit promise was made How trust operates differently in virtual and remote teams Why strong performers can accidentally set expectations that lead to burnout How leaders vary widely in how much "trust damage" they tolerate before overreacting The episode also revisits the journey of Trust Bricks beyond the podcast, including Kim's experience delivering a TEDx talk on the topic and refining the framework into three enduring lessons: You are always building or breaking Trust Bricks—whether you realize it or not Missed expectations don't pause trust building; they actively tear it down Unspoken expectations are the fastest way to accidentally destroy trust This episode is a reminder that trust isn't soft, vague, or optional—it's a core delivery skill. If you want stakeholders who back you, teams who tell you the truth, and projects that don't require constant firefighting, it starts with sweating the small commitments. The next time you make a commitment—big or small—ask yourself: Am I laying a brick… or cracking one?

Every relationship hits moments of tension, confusion, and pain. The real question is—do you walk away, or do you fight for restoration? In Matthew 1:18–24, Joseph faces an unexpected relational crisis with Mary.

Joseph's response teaches us how to handle relational conflict with wisdom, grace, and spiritual discernment.

Even though it made perfect sense that 2 year old Waylynn McCullough was experiencing the same cold like symptoms that her dad Kevin and her mom Logan had already been through, Waylynn was not as fortunate to say the least, as what she was experiencing was her lead up to her High Risk B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia diagnosis which was given to her in January of 2024. Waylynn is now 4 1/2 years old and has been through a very difficult initial treatment plan which was followed by a very difficult Delayed Intensification Treatment plan. Waylynn is now feeling well and thankfully is leading the life for the most part as a very healthy 4 1/2 year old girl. 

Episode DescriptionMost women are taught there are only two ways to move through conflict and relationships:Be nice → swallow your feelings, smooth things over, keep the peace at your own expenseBe strong → armor up, go sharp, cut people off, or handle everything yourselfNeither one feels good. Neither feels like you.In this episode of Is It Me or Is It Them?, I share the lightning-bolt insight that helped me name the heart of what so much of my work is really about: a third way for women, a middle ground where you don't have to choose between being a doormat or a battle axe, where you can hold soft power: clear, kind, and steady.You'll hear how over-tolerating and over-hitting both come from the same place (fear), what it means to live from simply zeroing in on what's actually true, and how the Bold as Love Collective helps women practice this “soft AND strong” way of being in real life.In This Episode, We Explore:The two default “templates” many women are handed:be nice (self-abandonment) or be strong (hard, defended, distant)Why both options come from the same place: fear of conflict, rejection, and being “too much” or “not enough”How swinging between silence and explosion keeps you out of alignment with what you actually wantWhy we need to get honest with ourselves faster and act and speak from here (What is really happening here? What is actually true for me? What do I want to see happen here?)The idea of soft power:soft without being a doormatstrong without being a battle axeclear without being cruelhonest without burning everything downHow to set “rules of engagement” for yourself (your own internal policies for how you do relationship)Why “win–win relationships” can become a powerful compass when you're deciding how to respondThe difference between tidying your side of the street vs. trying to control how other people reactHow practicing this third way changes not just big conflicts, but the tiny everyday interactions with partners, family, coworkers, and strangersKey TakeawaysFeeling powerful because you snapped or withdrew is not the same as feeling grounded, confident and steady in your truth.Numbing out and blowing up are both protection strategies, not self-respect.Soft power sounds like: “I'm neither collapsing nor exploding. I'm steady. I'll have my own back, no matter what.”You can be honest and boundaried and still be loving, considerate, and kind.The real shift happens when your words and actions line up with who you actually want to be — even in the messy moments.Mentioned in This Episode: The Bold as Love CollectiveIf you're tired of choosing between being a doormat or being “the difficult one,” you'll love Bold as Love Collective— A 3-month coaching circle for women who want:clearer, cleaner boundaries (without guilt or explosion)fewer spirals before (and after) hard conversationsa steadier, more self-assured presence in their relationshipssoftness without disappearing; strength without the hard shellIt's part self-paced course, part live virtual circle, and fully focused on practicing this third way in the real world, with ourselves, the people we love and the ones who push our buttons.

How can gratitude pave the way to our difficult seasons?

"Do not let me eat the sweet morsels that the enemy sets before me to trap me in anger and gossip..." Pastor CheriPastor Cheri is coming with an amazing word this week, taken from Psalm 141. This season has been difficult for her, and for so many of us. Difficult seasons often signal immense growth. This week we will be diving into this subject of how the Lord matures us through those seasons, using others to teach and reprove us, and how we should not be drawn into the traps the enemy lays for us to draw us into division.Show Notes: Psalm 141Exodus 29:391 Kings 18:36Support the showEmail: sheispodcast@refugecity.churchInstagram: she_is_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheispodcastrccYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sheispodcast4645

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIf you've ever walked out of a meeting thinking, “That was a lost opportunity… I could've been more prepared,” please know you are not alone. It happens to even the most capable, high-performing leaders. And yet, those small windows of time (whether it's a 15-minute 1:1 or a brief hallway conversation with a senior leader) are often the moments that matter most.They're the moments that shape your influence, your visibility, and the confidence others have in your leadership.I've been there myself. It's frustrating, and it can sting. But I want to make sure it doesn't continue happening to you. There is a proven way to walk into these interactions feeling grounded, clear, and ready. Both you and the person you're meeting with can walk away feeling energized, aligned, and confident.And it starts before you ever say a word.Start by Putting on Their GogglesWhen we prepare for an important meeting (especially one with an executive) we often feel pressure to talk fast, showcase our wins, and prove our value. That's normal. But it's not the most effective way to lead the conversation.Before you jump into your updates, accomplishments, or ideas, you need to create what I call the runway.That runway begins with the other person's world, not yours.Ask yourself:What pressure are they under right now?Who is putting expectations on them?What's keeping them up at night?What might they be worried about as we head into this next quarter?This is not about being perfect or reading their mind. The beautiful thing is, it's okay if your assumption isn't exactly right. What matters is that you are showing genuine awareness and care.This immediately lowers defensiveness, increases trust, and sets the tone for a productive interaction.How to Start the Conversation StrongAfter the basic pleasantries, you might say something like:“It seems like there's a lot of pressure right now to accelerate growth in Q1, and I can imagine that's creating a lot of urgency.”That simple sentence does three powerful things:It acknowledges their reality.It validates the pressure they're carrying.It signals that you're thinking beyond your own priorities.From there, one of two things will happen:1. You're spot-on.They'll say, “Yes, exactly,” and then give you more context.2. You're slightly off.They'll say, “That's important, but what's really stressing me right now is…”Either way you win, because you gain insight you didn't have before. And insight is influence.More importantly, you've already built trust in the very first moments of the conversation. And trust is the foundation of impact, visibility, and upward momentum in any organization.This Is Just Step OneIf you struggle to feel fully prepared for short but important meetings, this is your starting point: Lead with empathy. Lead with awareness. Lead with their world first.Next time, we'll talk about how to structure your message in a concise, clear, and influence-building way, so you get the biggest return on even the shortest interactions.If I can support you or your team in any way, I'm here for you.And if you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation. Cheering you on always!– Sheryl.

If you've ever felt like you're the one holding everything together at work — following up, reminding, double-checking, fixing last-minute mistakes, and caring more about the outcome than everyone else — this episode is for you. Because you shouldn't have to sacrifice your time, your sanity, or your career reputation just to compensate for other people's lack of follow-through. And you also shouldn't have to choose between: staying silent and doing it all yourself or speaking up and being labeled "difficult," "demanding," or "not a team player." There's a better way, and it starts with assertive accountability. You'll learn: why holding others accountable feels so uncomfortable how to stop chasing and reminding without sounding controlling how to protect your boundaries without damaging relationships how to speak up early (before resentment builds) how to get colleagues and partners to follow through, without nagging or apologizing We'll walk through 10 accountability conversations you can use with anyone you work with  peers, project partners, cross-functional teams, even leaders  to get results while maintaining respect and likability. If you want to be known as someone who is reliable, respected, and not walked over, this episode will give you the exact language and confidence to make it happen.  

Joseph . . . had in mind to divorce her quietly. — Matthew 1:19 Having looked at Luke 1 already this month, we know about the angel's announcement to Mary and the miraculous conception of her son, who would be named Jesus.But Joseph did not know all of this at first. To him, Mary's story must have sounded ridiculous: Really? A virgin birth?Joseph knew that the law was on his side and that he had every right to end his pledged relationship with Mary. But he was also righteous enough to understand grace.Righteous people understand the need to protect others despite the apparent circumstances. Joseph intended to do the best he could with a bad situation. He felt he had to confront what he saw as Mary's sin while also living with as much integrity as one could muster when his world had turned upside down.Have you been there? We all face difficult decisions at times. Even seeking to live righteously does not guarantee a life free from hard choices.But God, in his grace, revealed to Joseph that Mary's child was part of a bigger plan. In fact, God invited Joseph to be part of that plan: to let the world know of forgiveness through Jesus' birth. Grace invited him into that story. It can do the same for you. God of truth, in a sinful world our vision of righteousness is sometimes cloudy, and our obedience is imperfect. Give us the courage to follow you even when faithfulness is difficult. Amen.

Forgiving those who have hurt or disappointed us and asking forgiveness of those we have hurt or disappointed.

God has set His children free for a purpose. God did not save anyone to sit. He saved and empowered His people to do what He has called them to do. Everything we have is a gift from God, and He will provide everything needed for what He asks us to accomplish. The children of Israel lost sight of this. Difficult circumstances led them to become self absorbed, and they failed to steward their time, their abilities, and their resources. They used what God had given for themselves rather than for the purpose God intended. Their paneled houses became a picture of taking the wealth and luxury God provided for His house and using it only for their own. However, peace and security are never found in what we hold onto but in what we let go of. Everything belongs to Him. The call is to be open handed with what God has given, expecting nothing in return, trusting that little is much when God is in it. When we walk in obedience, He will bless. Ask God what He would have you give to, and watch what God will do with your obedience as you experience the peace, security, and joy that come from living open handed with all He has entrusted.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/757mwXWyDLMSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and let us know what you think.

Only thirty per cent of the American public identifies with the MAGA movement, according to a recent NBC poll, but that coalition remains intensely loyal to Donald Trump in the face of scandals and authoritarian measures. Defections seem rare and come with the risk of reprisal, even from the President himself. Rich Logis is trying to make them less rare with his advocacy organization, Leaving MAGA. The nonprofit's  website features testimonials from former adherents, and offers advice for how friends and family can reconnect after ruptures over politics. Logis himself had been a true believer: he worked on Trump's campaign, wrote articles, released a podcast, and called Democrats “the most dangerous group in the history of our Republic, foreign or domestic—more than Islamic supremacists, more than the Nazis.” He didn't view MAGA as reactionary, but “very progressive and forward facing.” But somewhere along the way, Logis hung up his red hat. “Even today, talking about my past, the feelings are conjured—those feelings of being welcomed and feeling like you're part of something, and the exhilaration that comes from that,” he tells the New Yorker Radio Hour's Adam Howard. Logis emphasizes that leaving MAGA is difficult because, as much as it's a political ideology, it's also an identity that meets emotional needs. “I think that there's a lot of trauma within the MAGA base, whether it's political or economic. . . . I'm not qualified to make any kind of diagnosis. I'm not a therapist or a clinician, but there's a lot of pain within MAGA. And I think that a better question [instead] of asking ‘What's wrong with you?' is ‘What happened to you?'”  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
