If, then, it does not remain by itself inwardly, it is quiet and asleep. But it is openly busy on the circumference, it is endlessly divided, as Augustine beautifully discusses it. But if it remains within, all things move in on it and converge on it, just as, if the center remains, the circumference depends totally on it. But if you move the center, you have moved the whole circumference and you have changed the circle. Thus all these words show how precious the faithful souls are in the presence of God.

Navigators know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. In charting a course through communication, Susan Rice says the best route is often the most direct.Throughout her career at the forefront of American diplomacy and foreign policy, Rice has been no stranger to high-stakes situations that hinge on clear and candid communication. As she says, “I'm very direct. I don't believe in playing games, going around people, and being passive-aggressive. I shoot straight.” Rice graduated from Stanford University in 1986 and served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013 and the National Security Advisor from 2013 to 2017. She is currently the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Visiting Fellow. Rice is the author of Tough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For.But beyond being direct herself, Rice knows the value of allowing others to be direct with her. “If you give it, you got to be able to take it,” she says. “I've benefited at various stages of my career from colleagues who've been kind enough to give me the hard truths or the tough love to enable me to be better and help me to recognize where I'm falling short.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Rice and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to foster personal and professional relationships where candidness can thrive — even when communicating with those we don't agree with.Episode Reference Links:Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute Profile: Susan E.

Does My Ex Want Me Back? Deciphering the Signs and Strategies Get my Emergency Breakup Kit at MyExBackCoach.com/ebk In coaching sessions and emails, a common question people ask is, "Does my ex want me back?" This question often stems from the confusion and anxiety that follows a breakup, especially during the no-contact period. Understanding whether your ex wants to rekindle the relationship can be challenging, but there are some signs and behaviors to look out for that might indicate their intentions. In this article, we'll explore these signs and provide you with insights to help you navigate this difficult time. The Dilemma of No Contact Many individuals find themselves in a state of uncertainty during the no-contact period. They are trying to figure out if maintaining no contact is worth it and if it might lead to their ex wanting them back. This period can be incredibly tough because you're left waiting without knowing what's going on with your ex. Here, we'll discuss some indicators that can help you determine if your ex might still be interested in you. Key Signs Your Ex Might Want You Back 1. Communication and Interaction: One of the most telling signs is if your ex makes an effort to check up on you or interact with you. This could be through liking your social media posts, watching your stories, or reaching out casually through text or email. Even small gestures, like asking how you're doing or wanting to exchange belongings, can be significant. The more consistent and engaged they are with your social media, the stronger the indication that they might be interested in rekindling the relationship. 2. Social Media Engagement: Pay close attention to how your ex interacts with your social media. If they are consistently watching your stories, liking your posts, or commenting, it suggests they are keeping tabs on you. This level of engagement often indicates that they are still interested in your life and possibly in reconnecting. 3. Physical Presence: If your ex goes out of their way to be around you or to attend events where they know you'll be, this could be a deliberate attempt to stay connected. Creating opportunities to see you, like suggesting to exchange personal items or casually meeting up, can also be strong indicators. 4. Emotional Reactions: Another sign is how your ex reacts emotionally to your life changes, especially your dating life. If they show signs of jealousy or concern about you being with someone else, it can indicate lingering feelings. Emotional reactions, whether subtle or overt, can provide valuable insights into their true desires. 5. Direct Communication: Sometimes, your ex might directly express their interest in getting back together. This could be through straightforward communication where they tell you they miss you or want to see if there's a chance to work things out. Directness removes any guesswork, making it clear they are interested in rekindling the relationship. Understanding the Dynamics While observing these signs can provide clues, it's important to remember that everyone's situation is unique. The presence of these signs doesn't guarantee that your ex wants to get back together, but they can be strong indicators. It's also crucial to consider the context of your relationship and breakup, as well as any underlying issues that may need to be addressed. Practical Advice for Moving Forward If you notice these signs and believe your ex wants to get back together, here are some practical steps to consider: 1. Take It Slow: Don't rush into reconciliation. Start with casual conversations and gradually rebuild your connection. Taking it slow allows both of you to assess your feelings and avoid repeating past mistakes. 2. Maintain Positive Communication: Focus on positive interactions and avoid bringing up past conflicts unnecessarily. Emphasize the changes both of you have made and how they can contribute to a healthier relationship. 3. Rebuild Trust: Trust is often damaged during a breakup. Rebuilding it takes time and effort. Be honest and transparent with each other about your feelings and intentions. Show through actions that you are committed to making the relationship work. 4. Seek Professional Help if Needed: If navigating the reconciliation process on your own proves challenging, consider seeking help from a relationship coach or therapist. They can provide valuable insights and strategies to help you rebuild your relationship effectively. 5. Keep Your Standards: Maintain your standards and don't compromise on what's important to you. A healthy relationship should be based on mutual respect and understanding. Don't settle for less just to get back together. Common Excuses and Their Real Meanings During this process, you might encounter various excuses from your ex. Here's how to interpret some common ones: 1. "They're Going Through a Lot Right Now": While it's true that life can be stressful, if your ex genuinely wants to be with you, they will see you as a source of support rather than an additional burden. This excuse often masks their uncertainty. 2. "They Need to Find Themselves": Personal growth is important, but if your ex wants to get back together, they should be willing to grow with you. This excuse might indicate they're unsure about their feelings. 3. "They're Under a Lot of Pressure": Life pressures are constant, but how your ex handles them can reveal their priorities. If they want to be with you, they will make it work despite these pressures. Taking Control of Your Situation Remember, you shouldn't feel the need to chase after your ex or decipher cryptic signals. If your ex wants to get back together, they will take clear and decisive actions to show it. Here's how to empower yourself during this time: 1. Focus on Yourself: Use this time to work on your personal growth and well-being. Engage in activities that make you happy and fulfilled. Building a strong sense of self-worth will make you more attractive and prepared for whatever the future holds. 2. Set Clear Boundaries: Make it clear what you will and won't tolerate. If your ex tries to enjoy the benefits of being in a relationship without committing, stand your ground. This will show them that you value yourself and won't settle for anything less than you deserve. 3. Avoid Playing Detective: Trying to figure out what your ex wants through subtle hints and mixed signals can be exhausting and unproductive. Instead, focus on direct communication and clear actions. If your ex wants to be with you, they will make it known without the need for guesswork. 4. Don't Compromise Your Standards: Maintain your standards and don't allow mistreatment or disrespect. If your ex tries to come back into your life, ensure they do so with respect and genuine intent. A healthy relationship should be built on mutual respect and effort. Conclusion: Moving Forward with Confidence Understanding whether your ex wants you back involves paying close attention to their actions and behaviors. By recognizing the signs and maintaining your standards, you can navigate this challenging time with confidence. Remember, reconciliation should be based on mutual respect, clear communication, and genuine desire to rebuild the relationship. Whether you're hoping to get back together or seeking closure, focusing on your well-being and personal growth is essential. Use this time to reflect on what you want and deserve in a relationship. If your ex truly wants you back, they will make the effort to show it. Until then, prioritize yourself and your happiness.

We all need to have difficult discussions. Host Margaret Meloni shares a personal anecdote about a situation where she avoided giving feedback to an underperforming employee, leading to negative consequences for both parties involved. This serves as a prime example of how avoiding difficult conversations can ultimately do more harm than good. The concept of "compassionate directness" is introduced as a way to approach challenging discussions with empathy and understanding. By empowering individuals to provide feedback, voice concerns, and disagree in a constructive manner, communication can be more effective and relationships can thrive. It's emphasized that being direct doesn't mean lacking compassion, but rather finding a balance between honesty and empathy. This understanding can help create a more compassionate and supportive atmosphere where difficult discussions are approached with care and respect. By practicing fierce self-compassion, individuals can address situations where they could have handled things better without harboring negative emotions. The message of the podcast is clear: by embracing compassionate directness, we can reduce suffering, improve communication, and cultivate more meaningful relationships.

In our personal and professional lives, some conversations are harder than others. To navigate the difficulties of discussing what matters most, Professor Irv Grousbeck says we need the right balance of conviction and compassion.At both Stanford Graduate School of Business and Stanford School of Medicine, Grousbeck teaches courses on managing difficult conversations. He equips students with skills to be direct while being respectful, to be strong while being warm, and to resist any urge to beat around the bush. "Directness, with respect, is essential,” he says. "So many of our students feel that if you're direct with someone, somehow that's harsh.

"Fail fast" is used so often, it has become a cliché! In this episode, we tackle rebranding the term "fail fast" to "learn fast" within organizational cultures.

Hello, wonderful listeners! Dimple Thakrar here, and I'm thrilled to have you join me for another episode of Beyond the Words. Today, we're delving into a profound topic that has been resonating with many women around me - the question of when is enough, enough in a relationship.In this episode, I share my personal journey of a 33-year relationship, the highs, the lows, and the constant quest for deeper connection and romance. The burning question that keeps surfacing is, "When do you know it's time to throw in the towel and leave?"Key Takeaways:1. Understanding the Dynamics: I reflect on the collective urge among women to reassess their relationships, questioning whether they are truly living their best lives with their companions.2. The Journey of Self-Discovery: Sharing my own experiences, I highlight the importance of self-reflection and the realisation that personal growth and happiness play a significant role in a relationship.3. Masculine and Feminine Energies: A crucial aspect is recognizing the differences between masculine and feminine energies, understanding that men and women operate with distinct frameworks.4. Communication and Directness: Emphasising the need for clear communication, I discuss the pitfalls of assuming that our partners understand our needs without direct articulation.5. Romancing Yourself: A powerful concept emerges - romancing oneself. I recount a personal retreat and how showing our partners what we need often starts with being that for ourselves.6. Deal Breakers and Setting Boundaries: The episode explores the importance of setting clear boundaries, recognizing deal-breakers, and being honest about the consequences if those needs are not met.7. Taking Action: Whether staying or leaving, the key lies in taking action aligned with one's standards and principles. It's about standing firm in what you deserve.In conclusion, I invite you to trust your intuition, observe repeated red flags, and ask yourself if you're showing up as the best version of yourself. Relationships evolve, and so do our needs. Appreciate the effort your partner puts in and voice your happiness to create a positive cycle.

In this riveting episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we delve into the fascinating world of communication. Specifically, we explore the chasm between two distinct communication styles: those who insinuate and the straight-shooters who don't.   Decoding Insinuations: Let's start by decoding the often cryptic world of insinuations. Why do some prefer to drop hints rather than state their minds outright?   Case in Point: Consider the generic Facebook post - "Mental health should be everyone's priority. Remember, it's okay not to be okay." Such a post, meant to promote mental wellness, often gets buried under a flurry of private messages asking, "Is everything okay with you?" or "You seemed down in your post."   The Value of Directness: Whether in personal conversations or professional interactions, being forthright saves time, reduces misunderstandings, and enhances the quality of our relationships. Isn't it time we say what we mean and mean what we say?   Keyboard Warriors: While the digital age has many perks, it's also given rise to an army of keyboard warriors, lurking behind screens, insinuating rather than stating, hinting instead of telling. But isn't true bravery about being direct? About having those tough, straightforward conversations?   Building Authentic Relationships: We stress the significance of cutting through the clutter and fostering genuine connections by being direct. After all, authenticity is built on transparency and straightforwardness.   For our listeners, this episode is a call to action: to recognize the power of direct communication, to appreciate the clarity it brings, and to implement it in our daily interactions. Let's shift from a culture of insinuation to one of forthrightness, setting an example for others to follow.   Stay updated with episodes that challenge the status quo and redefine norms.

Where do you stand?

Episode in a Tweet: True leadership isn't about putting up a facade of perfection. It's about being genuine and relatable. Authentic leaders, those who aren't afraid to showcase their strengths and acknowledge their weaknesses, foster a culture of trust and collaboration. In today's rapidly changing business landscape, a fresh perspective on leadership has emerged—one where authenticity and vulnerability take center stage. Brené Brown, a renowned researcher, captured it best: "Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage." In this week's episode of Reflect Forward, we'll uncover why vulnerability is paramount for contemporary leaders and offer practical steps to integrate it into your leadership style. The Power of Authenticity in Leadership True leadership isn't about putting up a facade of perfection. It's about being genuine and relatable. Authentic leaders, those who aren't afraid to showcase their strengths and acknowledge their weaknesses, foster a culture of trust and collaboration. Think about it: People relate more to the human side of leaders—their aspirations, challenges, and setbacks. It's the shared human experience that says, "I understand, and I'm here with you." Why Hesitate? Navigating the Vulnerability Dilemma If the thought "This isn't me, I can't be vulnerable" crosses your mind, you're not alone. The journey to becoming a vulnerable leader can seem daunting, but it's more achievable than you think. Here's a roadmap to guide you: • Start Small: Begin with minor revelations. Discuss a challenge from early in your career or a lesson from a recent project. • Ask for Feedback and Act: Asking for feedback shows that you are willing to hear what other people have to say to and about you. It takes vulnerability to say, “I am struggling here, and I need your help. Can you please give me your feedback?” • Listen Better: When you understand where others are coming from, you can respond with more openness and transparency. • Embrace the Unease: It's natural for vulnerability to feel unfamiliar initially. However, over time, it becomes an invaluable leadership asset. • Remember, It's a Two-way Street." "The more you're open with your team, the more they'll be open with you." Showing your vulnerability is never a weakness but always a strength. Authenticity, transparency, and vulnerability are not just buzzwords; they are essential leadership traits that drive impact. The future beckons a shift from invulnerability to genuine authenticity. As you pave the way forward, remember that vulnerability could very well be the secret ingredient to transformative leadership. Question of the Week How do I communicate directly without being perceived as rude or aggressive?” This question came from a friend of mine, and I love it because let's face it – communicating well is hard. Throughout my professional journey, I've come to realize that the art of communication is like walking a tightrope, especially when you're in a managerial role. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you wanted to convey something clearly, yet feared the undertone might sound too... sharp? Directness in communication is undoubtedly an asset, but where do we draw the line so that it doesn't spill into insensitivity? Tune in to hear my tips!

In this episode of The Shift Show, I have a phenomenal chat with Michelle Lake, a master in both triathlon training and the world of sales. You know, the parallels between these two worlds are absolutely intriguing. Let's dive in and see how athletic training can teach us about scalable income and authentic business growth! Understanding Scalable Income Through Athletic Training What Exactly is Scalable Income? Picture this: You train for a marathon. Every mile you run adds to your stamina, doesn't it? Similarly, scalable income is like increasing your business stamina without exhausting yourself. It's about earning more without burning out—just like how athletes train smarter, not harder.

I manage it. So instead of beating myself up... I've screwed up and I learned how to screw up when I was a waiter. His waiter screws up all night and you learn the trick of... walking right out and kneeling down below the guests. Now you've humbled yourself. You're going to do this with a client. You better. Later, I kneel down below them and say, I want to let you know that, um, here's the mistake I made. The correction is being made right now and we'll be out shortly. But in the meantime, party, see, I told him the problem. I fessed up, then I let them know the solution that's already in action. Then what do I do next? In the meantime, is there anything I can get you from the bar? That'll make you more comfortable while we're waiting... So use it to your advantage. And every time I've done it, it's worked out really well. So I humble myself, I fall on the sword, I solve the problem and I move forward and I concentrate on it not happening again for that person.”The Power of Reframing Our Internal Narrative - Jordan Benjamin: “I love that thought about what's the story that I'm telling myself because I feel like... So many times people are like, Oh, like someone's talking to themselves or there's a story going on in their head... It is such a cool way to think about how you reframe and retell that story to yourself. And realize we actually have some control over that.”You can connect with Todd and check out his work in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/videotodd/WireBuzz: https://www.wirebuzz.com/If you're listening to the Peak Performance Selling Podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.Jordan Benjamin | MyCoreOs.com | Podcast | Email | Twitter
