From evidence to practice: factors influencing the implementation of cord blood treatment for cerebral palsy in the United StatesMadison C B Paton, Joanne Kurtzberg, Jessica Sun, Sarah Reedman, Remy Blatch-Williams, Michael Fahey, Iona Novak, Megan Finch-EdmondsonAbstractBackground and aims: Cord blood infusion is an emerging treatment for cerebral palsy (CP) currently offered in the United States through clinical trials and an expanded access pathway. This study aimed to understand the barriers and facilitators influencing implementation of cord blood treatment for CP, to help inform future implementation efforts.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with US professionals involved in the cord blood treatment program for CP at Duke University and a collaborator site. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.Results: From 16 interviews, 5 themes were identified capturing patterned barriers and enablers. Key facilitators included boundary-spanning clinical leadership, interprofessional coordination, dedicated resourcing, responsiveness to community demand, an established safety profile, and a strong research culture. Barriers included the need for cross-disciplinary expertise, uncertainty regarding efficacy evidence, funding and regulatory constraints, and system-level challenges. Participants described that many barriers were overcome to establish the program, while acknowledging that others may persist and are context dependent.Conclusions: Findings highlight that implementation of cord blood treatment for CP is feasible within specialized settings but contingent on local infrastructure, governance, and workforce capacity. Identified facilitators align with established implementation strategies and offer transferable insights, while underscoring the need for regulatory approval, ethical oversight, and system-level supports to enable equitable and sustainable access to emerging regenerative therapies for CP.Keywords: barriers; cerebral palsy; cord blood; facilitators; implementation.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42571975/

A Man Born Blind: John 9 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

The Frontier spoke with pollster Pat McFerron about Mike Mazzei's slim win over Gentner Drummond to secure the Republican nomination for governor. McFerron is president of the Oklahoma-based polling firm Cole Hargrave Snodgrass & Associates. For the full interview, listen to our podcast.Dylan Goforth: Let's talk about what we saw last night. It's funny: There were a lot of eyes on the election, but not so many votes. Once again, turnout in an Oklahoma runoff wasn't great, but everyone was paying attention to what happened. When you look at the runoff results, what do you think Oklahoma voters told us?Pat McFerron: I think the key takeaway is a little bit of a repudiation of the Freedom Caucus. Obviously, everyone wants to talk about the governor's race, which was very, very close. I believe it's the closest Republican runoff election we've had in the state for governor.But I think the continuation last night of support for Senate Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton — and voters increasingly siding with him over the Freedom Caucus — is probably the biggest takeaway.That, and I think you hit on it a little bit, is how few people are participating. I do think the Republican runoff election exceeded some people's expectations, but you're still talking about less than 10% of Oklahoma residents participating. It's a larger percentage of voters, but we're talking about a state of 4 million people. Less than 10% decided who is likely to be the next governor of the state.Dylan: Looking at the governor's election, Mazzei won by essentially half a percentage point. Does that look like basically a coin flip, or did you see something in the results that explains why Mazzei was able to hold off Drummond, even by the slim margin that he did?Pat: If you compare the margins — if you took out the other candidates in June and looked at the margins Drummond and Mazzei had vis-à-vis each other, then looked at what happened last night — the southeastern part of the state turned out pretty solidly and really moved toward Mazzei.In McCurtain County alone, Mazzei won by a little over 2,000 votes. He picked up 779 net votes there. So he picked up more than a third of his statewide margin in McCurtain County alone.Dylan: Do you think that's the Trump endorsement? I know southeastern Oklahoma, and I don't think of Mazzei as your typical southeastern Oklahoma candidate.Pat: It is the most Trumpian. I think the Brecheen endorsement there mattered. You also had the late Markwayne Mullin endorsement. Those are the last two congressmen there.Especially in McCurtain County, which is in the Shreveport media market, they're not seeing quite as much television advertising as some of the others are. I think they rely a little more on endorsements. So, yes, I do think that's a key part of it there.Dylan: Let's talk about the money, because I think that's an interesting part of the results. There was a lot of spending. I think Mazzei took out almost $12 million in loans. The Associated Press reported more than $14 million in television and digital advertising during the runoff, with many more millions spent before that.What did Mazzei actually buy with that money?Pat: When a race is this close, any decision on financing probably makes a difference. So, yes, I would argue that he needed it all to get there.That being said, you may recall I released numbers three weeks out that had it at 44-44. I did two other surveys that I did not release that had it at 45-45, and the last survey I did, which I finished last Thursday, had it at 45-45.That makes you wonder whether the money was wasted. But if it hadn't been there, you don't know what would have happened on the other side. It looks to me like he needed all of it—or almost all of it—to be successful.Dylan: Taking out $12 million in loans is enough to give you stress. But I guess when you win by 2,000 votes, you don't look back and regret taking out those loans.Pat: The worst feeling — and I've been on campaigns that have done this before—is to say, “I should have done something else. I should have put in another $100,000, or I should have done X, Y or Z. If I'd bought broadcast television in Shreveport, maybe I would have done better in McCurtain County.” Those are the things that drive you crazy.Very seldom do I have someone say, “We paid for a landslide, and I'm upset about it.”Dylan: I love a close race because it gives you so much to think about and dwell on. When you're talking about 2,000 votes, anywhere you're picking up votes is relevant, important and probably meaningful.One thing I was thinking about last night was the polling you released before the runoff. These guys had essentially been tied for a long time. I remember seeing numbers in June, and the June election results were close.What do last night's results — and the way the last six months played out — tell you about where the supporters of the other candidates went?Pat: Obviously, it means they split rather evenly.I haven't gone down to this level yet, but looking at the maps, it appeared Drummond ended up winning out west, where (Jake) Merrick and (Chip) Keating had done well. Mazzei did well on the eastern side of the state, where McCall had more support.For example, in Atoka County, it wasn't a huge difference, but compared with June, Mazzei picked up a net 294 votes. In a county where only about 1,600 people voted, that's a pretty big margin.Dylan: For people looking through the numbers today and trying to sort this out, are there any obvious mistakes you would caution them against making when interpreting the numbers?Pat: One thing that's interesting in a race this close is looking at local elections. That's something I always advise people to do.Look at the turnout in Ottawa County, for example. We actually had 58% more people vote in the August Republican runoff than voted in the June primary. They had a much larger turnout because there was a local sales-tax issue on the ballot that got 94% of the vote, I think.Their sheriff had been sued, and everybody was going to pay this big settlement through property taxes. They decided to pay it off with a sales tax instead. That meant a lot more people voted in Ottawa County.We saw the same thing in Adair County and Tahlequah, where there were some very important school bond issues on the ballot. Those were also places where more people voted in August than in June. Looking at some of those things matters when you get into a race that's this close.That's all short-term. Long term, I think one of the keys will be the involvement of the metro areas in nominating Republicans in the future.We'll see what happens with Cyndi Munson, and all due respect there, but if you look at the residents of Oklahoma, Tulsa, Cleveland and Canadian counties, they account for about 48% or 49% of all the residents in the state. They accounted for only 42% of the Republican primary voters. If you change that—and given that Drummond won those counties—he might be the nominee.Oklahoma County did turn out quite a bit more in the runoff than it did in the primary. Tulsa County did a little more, percentage-wise. But to me, that's a big question: Are we going to continue to be a state with rural dominance even though the metro areas are becoming more populated?Dylan: I want to look ahead to November. If you're advising Cyndi Munson, what does such a close split in the Republican runoff tell you about Mazzei's strengths and possible vulnerabilities? Is there anything in the results that gives a Democrat an opening or hope?Last night, I went back to look at the split between Drew Edmondson and Kevin Stitt in the 2018 governor's election. Obviously, the Munson campaign isn't going to say, “Our goal is to lose by less than Edmondson lost by.” But is that a good starting point for them to look at those results? What would you tell her to do over the next few months?Pat: I will tell you, 2018 is a lot different from 2026. With the teacher walkout and everything else, our generic-ballot test in 2018 had only about an eight-point Republican advantage. I'm at a 20-point Republican advantage in 2026.I think you have to create your own hope. But I don't think the opportunity for the Munson folks is necessarily the Gentner Drummond voters. I think it's the Republicans who stayed home, and they're a tougher group to reach as well.They're a little less engaged. They will vote Republican, but I think it'll take a little while to happen. I think we'll see the Republicans come back together.

WEEK 446 | PASTOR DAVID EDMONDSON

In this episode of The UK Flooring Podcast, Tom is joined by David Edmondson from JMG Insurance Brokers for a practical conversation about insurance for flooring contractors, retailers and business owners.Many businesses arrange insurance because they know they need it, then assume everything is covered without checking the exclusions, conditions or limits hidden within the policy. David explains why choosing insurance solely on price, allowing policies to renew without a proper review and failing to tell your broker when the business changes can leave you exposed when you need to make a claim.Tom and David discuss the cover flooring businesses should consider for tools, vans, stock in transit, ongoing contracts, employees and subcontractors. They also look at the growing risk of cybercrime, why even small flooring businesses can be targeted and what insurers expect businesses to have in place.The conversation includes real examples of rejected claims, stolen tools, major fires and workplace incidents. They even tackle the question every business owner has probably asked at some point: can you insure against stupidity?What You'll Learn in This Episode• Why having an insurance policy does not necessarily mean you are properly covered.• The exclusions, clauses and conditions business owners often overlook.• Why the cheapest insurance policy can become the most expensive when a claim is refused.• The difference between labour-only and bona fide subcontractors.• Why changes to your staff, vehicles, tools and turnover should be discussed with your broker.• What to check when insuring expensive flooring tools and machinery.• How single-item limits can reduce the amount paid following a theft.• Why overnight storage conditions can cause claims for tools stolen from vans to be rejected.• How goods and stock in transit insurance can protect flooring materials while they are being transported.• Why flooring retailers and contractors should take cyber insurance seriously.• The security measures insurers may expect, including multifactor authentication, updated software and secure internet connections.• How management liability and directors' and officers' insurance can protect business owners.• What contract works insurance covers when materials or completed work are damaged before a project is handed over.• The essential cover a one-person flooring business should consider.• Why having an experienced broker can make a major difference when managing a claim.Memorable Quote“Would you rather pay for a piece of paper that covers you in the event of a claim, or pay a little bit less for something that doesn't respond when you need it?”Speaker InformationDavid Edmondson has worked in the insurance industry for around 20 years and works with JMG Insurance Brokers in Lancashire. He helps businesses understand their risks, review their existing policies and arrange appropriate commercial insurance cover.Where to Find David and JMG Insurance BrokersDavid Edmondson:https://www.jmginsurance.co.uk/our-people/david-edmondson/JMG Insurance Brokers Lancashire:https://www.jmginsurance.co.uk/businesses/lancashire/Telephone: 01254 460160Email: lancashire@jmginsurance.co.ukJMG Insurance Brokers:https://www.jmginsurance.co.uk/This episode is intended for general information only.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to nurse and grief counselor Kelly Edmondson for joining me on Episode #170 of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner. Kelly founded “Timely Presence” after the tragic loss of her oldest son, Darius, to SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). Darius had epilepsy that he treated with medication, but Kelly never suspected that he could die suddenly. His death was a shock unlike any other.“Timely Presence” is designed to help people after the immediate social support surrounding the funeral disappears. The first 12 months following the loss of a loved one, especially on key days like anniversaries, birthdays, and Mother's and Father's Day, are particularly stressful. While friends and colleagues may wish to help, they may not know how. “Timely Presence” helps reframe the rituals that accompany these special days. As a bereaved mother and grief counselor, Kelly also offers advice for those suffering from grief.For more information, contact Kelly at https://thetimelypresence.com.#grief #death #bereavement @kellyedmondson @timelypresence             Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Jane Edmondson, head of index product strategy at TMX VettaFi, tells Proactive Investors that Ukraine's GDP - after collapsing 30% in 2022 - is forecast to grow 4.5% this year, and that 90% of companies in the country are now fully operational. She argues that reconstruction is already under way and that investors do not need to wait for a peace deal to begin gaining exposure. Edmondson cites the Ukraine Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment, published jointly by the Ukrainian government, the World Bank, the EU Commission and the United Nations, which put the cost of reconstruction and recovery at approximately $589 billion (around €510 billion) - roughly three times Ukraine's nominal GDP. The largest individual needs are in transportation, energy and housing, each requiring around $90 billion, while Citi estimates foreign direct investment could contribute $87 billion to $145 billion, covering 15 to 25% of total funding needs. She explains how the underlying index for the Defiance Ukraine Reconstruction UAWAR ETF is constructed: companies must either be Ukrainian by domicile or headquarters, or must belong to business segments directly identified in the damage and needs assessment as recovery priorities - including construction and infrastructure, defense, building materials, and energy transition. European companies are favoured over global names for defense and infrastructure given geographic proximity, and global industrial names are included only if tied to recovery areas, with capped weightings. Edmondson names several holdings across categories: Ukrainian drone-software firm Swarmer, telecom operator Kyivstar, and iron ore pellet producer Ferrexpo on the Ukrainian side; and Caterpillar, Vinci, CRH, ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Eaton, Emerson, BAE Systems and Rheinmetall among the international names. She notes that Ukraine's reconstruction plans follow a 'Build Back Better' framework aligned with EU sustainability goals, covering clean energy, sustainable agriculture and green transportation. #TMXVettaFi #UAWAR #UkraineReconstruction #DefianceETF #Ukraine #ReconstructionInvesting #ETF #Infrastructure #EmergingMarkets #ThematicInvesting

Next Gen Sunday: John 13:1-15 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

Water to Wine: John 2:1-11 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

Ellen Edmondson joins Marc and Greg for a reflective conversation about intuition, grief, parenting, compassionate living, and the courage to stop hiding who we are. From leaving a successful federal career to sharing the words that became A Place of Love and Light, Ellen considers what becomes possible when we quiet the noise and begin trusting the voice within.

In Oklahoma, the Edmondson family was royalty. For decades, the Edmondson name had been synonymous with public service, integrity, and leadership. Some people even called them "the Kennedys of Oklahoma." It was because, generation after generation, they answered the call to serve. Sarah's grandfather served in the United States Congress. Her great-uncle was both the governor of Oklahoma and, later, a U.S. senator. Her uncle served as the state's attorney general. And her father, Jim Edmondson, would become a justice on the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Their reputation had been built on a deep commitment to the people of Oklahoma. The Edmondsons weren't known for scandal. And then came Sarah. Join Jen and Cam as we discuss ‘From Fiction to Fatal: William Savage & Patsy Byers.' Shout out to Jason P, who suggested the episode!

The Armor of God: Ephesians 6:14-20 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

Send us Fan Mail The most seductive lie in personal growth is that you have to become someone else to finally be okay. Yusuf sits down with intuition mentor and author Ellen Edmondson to slow the whole thing down and ask a better question: what if the “new you” you're chasing is just noise, and what you really need is a clearer connection to the self you've been overriding for years? We dig into self-discovery, inner guidance, and what it actually looks like to live from within without disappearing into performance and pressure.  Ellen shares her 2013 spiritual awakening and why awakening can feel messy, disorienting, and even lonely before it becomes meaningful. We talk about the kind of life moments that shake loose the old identity such as loss, birth, career transitions and how those cracks can reveal purpose instead of breaking you. If you've ever wondered whether your intuition is real or you're just overthinking, you'll feel seen in this conversation.  We also get practical: journaling as a daily intuition practice, questions to write at the top of the page, and how to build self-trust like a muscle through small, aligned steps. We explore fear vs inner knowing, the difference between discomfort that protects what you've outgrown and guidance that quietly points you forward, plus how synchronicities can show up when you're back in alignment. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who's stuck in “shoulds,” and leave a review with the quiet choice you're making this week.

Spiritual Warfare: Ephesians 6:10-13 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

Most of us don't realize how complex and unique grief really is. What shapes your pain may differ wildly from someone else's, even if you've experienced similar loss. Kelly Edmondson, founder of Timely Presence and a grief counselor, shares the powerful truth that grief is as individual as a fingerprint—and how understanding this can radically change how we support ourselves and others through heartbreak. In this heartfelt episode, Kelly takes us deep into the emotional landscape of mourning, explaining why grief doesn't follow a straight line and how life's busy moments often mask its intensity. She reveals concrete strategies for coping with loss, including building meaningful rituals, planning around difficult dates, and prioritizing silent presence over empty words. Did you know that unprocessed grief can manifest as heart disease, depression, or anxiety? Kelly shows us why ignoring pain isn't just harmful—it's a public health issue that demands communal attention. Kelly shares her framework of the “three Rs”: regulate your response, respond with intention, and remain present—guidelines that help keep the love alive long after the funeral. This episode is perfect for anyone navigating grief or supporting someone who is, especially in cultures where death and mourning are often underaddressed. Kelly's insights—born from her personal experience after losing her son—offer comfort, clarity, and actionable steps that help turn pain into legacy. Whether you're holding onto unresolved loss or seeking ways to show up better for someone in pain, this conversation will change how you view grief—and how you walk through it. Remember: grief is not the enemy; it's the evidence of love. Kelly's mission is simple—reframe how we care for human responses to loss, ensuring no one suffers in silence. Kelly Edmondson is a registered nurse, certified grief counselor, and the founder of Timely Presence, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals through their most vulnerable moments after loss.

This episode offers a practitioner's view of what sustainable transformation actually moves through: from the moment of honest awareness, through the friction of resistance, into the kind of cultural shift that outlasts any single initiative or leader.

WEEK 439 | PASTOR DAVID EDMONDSON 

What does it look like to stay present for someone in grief? Not just in the immediate aftermath, but in the months that follow. My guest, Kelly Edmondson, is a nurse, a bereaved mother, and a grief counselor who is redefining what compassionate support looks like after loss. As the Founder of Timely Presence, Kelly helps grieving families feel remembered through meaningful heirloom-quality gifts intentionally delivered on emotionally significant days. Drawing from her clinical background in trauma nursing and her personal journey through loss, Kelly brings a rare blend of emotional intelligence, professional experience, and lived understanding to the grief space.  Her work centers on presence, remembrance, and the belief that no one should navigate the first year after loss alone.   CONNECT WITH KELLY Website - https://thetimelypresence.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-edmondson/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thetimelypresence/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TimelyPresence   CONNECT WITH DEBI Website – https://www.debironca.com Instagram - @debironca Email – info@debironca.com Free Group Coaching - https://debi.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/group-coaching YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DebiRoncaOfficial Amy Throw | Stylist & Image CoachI style women in clothes they love & build opportunities they believe in https://www.cabionline.com/?pws=styledwithsoul   Check out my online course!

Every organization is in a race to adopt artificial intelligence. Few are asking the more important question: are our people ready to work alongside it? The organizations that will win the next decade are not the ones with the most advanced technology — they are the ones with the culture strong enough to absorb, adapt to, and leverage it.   AI does not fail because of the algorithm. It fails because of the humans around it — the ones who resist it, misuse it, or never trusted the organization enough to embrace it in the first place. Culture is what determines whether AI becomes a force multiplier or an expensive distraction. In this session, we will examine the relationship between organizational culture and AI adoption, and make the case that investing in culture is not the soft alternative to investing in technology — it is the prerequisite.   In this episode: Meagan Bond, Tom Bradshaw, Nic Kruegar, Rich Cruz, Dr. Emi Barresi, Imani Nakyanza   I/O Career Accelerator Course: https://www.seboc.com/job Visit us https://www.seboc.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/sebocLI Join an open-mic event: https://www.seboc.com/events   References:   Boston Consulting Group.

Most organizations are extraordinarily good at activity and extraordinarily bad at progress. Meetings that produce more meetings. Initiatives launched before the last ones landed. Leaders who are permanently busy and chronically stuck. This is not a strategy problem. It is a pattern problem, and patterns live in culture, not in org charts. This episode examines the invisible cycles that keep organizations in motion without forward momentum: the norms, assumptions, and unspoken rules that make dysfunction feel like diligence.  In this episode: Meagan Bond, Tom Bradshaw, LindaAnn Rogers, Nic Kruegar, Stacy Lee, Rich Cruz I/O Career Accelerator Course: https://www.seboc.com/job Visit us https://www.seboc.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/sebocLI Join an open-mic event: https://www.seboc.com/events References: Dweck, C.

Work: Ephesians 6:5-9 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

Organizations spend billions on strategy, technology, and process redesign, and then wonder why results do not follow. The answer is almost always the same: culture was treated as an afterthought rather than the operating system beneath everything else. When culture is decorative, change is cosmetic.  I/O Career Accelerator Course: https://www.seboc.com/job Visit us https://www.seboc.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/sebocLI Join an open-mic event: https://www.seboc.com/events References: Gallup (2025). State of the Global Workplace.

Children & Parents: Ephesians 6:1-4 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

The casseroles arrive. The flowers fill the house. For a few weeks, people show up.And then they don't.For most grieving people, the silence that follows the funeral is one of the loneliest parts of loss — and one of the least talked about. In this episode, Brian sits down with Kelly Edmondson, a trauma nurse, grief counselor, and Shining Light mother who lost her son Darius on January 3rd, 2023. Kelly spent years delivering devastating news to families in the ER. She thought she understood grief. Then it happened to her.What she discovered — in the gap between clinical knowledge and lived experience — became the foundation for Timely Presence, a year-long grief support service that sends meaningful, curated gifts on the days that hit the hardest: the first birthday, the first Mother's Day, the first wedding anniversary without your person.This conversation is for anyone who has ever wanted to show up for someone grieving but didn't know how — and for anyone who has felt the world move on while they were still standing in the wreckage.In this episode:How Kelly's son Darius lived — and what his life continues to meanWhat a career in trauma nursing teaches you about grief that lived experience still catches you off guardHow to deliver heartbreaking news with compassion and clarityWhy people go silent around grievers — and why silence does more damage than an imperfect wordWhat not to say (and what actually helps)How Timely Presence fills the gap in grief support after the funeralThe first gift Kelly ever sent — and the prisms it left dancing on a wallAbout Kelly EdmondsonKelly Edmondson is a nurse, grief counselor, and the founder of Timely Presence — a year-long grief gift service designed to show up for the bereaved on the dates that matter most throughout the first year of loss. Drawing from her background in trauma care and her own journey through child loss, Kelly created a service that didn't exist before: one that remembers, so the people around you don't have to carry it alone.

Marriage: Ephesians 5:22-33 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

Last week: Timothy Clark's four stages of psychological safety. This week: what they're missing.Most teams that believe they have psychological safety are stuck in a place where everything looks safe but nothing moves.TWO DIMENSIONS, NOT ONEPsychological safety has two distinct dimensions. Most frameworks address only one.Relational safety: How safe do team members feel with each other? Can they be candid, vulnerable, direct?Environmental safety: How safe does the environment feel? Familiar room, known routines, predictable structures.These two axes create four zones.ZONE 1 — THE DANGER ZONE (low / low)Toxic environment, hostile colleagues, chaotic, no trust. Individual: leave. Leader: act now.ZONE 2 — THE PSEUDO SAFETY ZONE (high environmental / low relational)The trap most "psychologically safe" teams are actually in.Everything looks fine. Names on doors. Clear meeting structures. Everyone knows the systems. But nobody addresses conflict, nobody has the hard conversations, nobody pushes."It's an area where we feel okay, but nothing gets done in a way that moves the needle. Most people have already signed out—within themselves."ZONE 3 — THE CRUISING ZONE (high / high)Clear structure, trusted colleagues, hard conversations possible, listening genuine. Aim to be here 60–70% of the time.But the big steps don't happen here.ZONE 4 — THE GROWTH ZONE: THE FIFTH STAGE (low environmental / high relational)Breakthroughs only happen when you deliberately remove environmental safety—and the relational safety is strong enough to hold the team together without it.Warren Bennis, in Organizing Genius, showed this with case after case. Breakthrough innovation happens when small teams of people who trust each other are taken outside the big company and thrown into a garage. They no longer care about environmental safety. They are too deep in the work.When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he took his most trusted engineers to a different building and raised a pirate flag. Inside the original Macintosh, the engineers' signatures are moulded into the metal—where nobody could see them. They didn't need anyone to.HIGH-PERFORMING TEAMS DON'T LASTJon Katzenbach (The Wisdom of Teams): high-performing teams exist for days, weeks, sometimes months. Never years."I ask leadership teams: what kind of team are you? They say: a high-performing team. I say: for how long? And what for?"The Fifth Stage is the same. You go there for the breakthrough, then return to the Cruising Zone to recover. Then, if needed, go again.THE TRAINING INTERVENTIONA five-day leadership course for consultants. The first two days deliberately build both kinds of safety—familiar room, breakout structures, personal stories, shared meals.Wednesday morning: participants arrive to find the room destroyed. Everything overturned. Death metal at full volume."Most teams aren't ready. They run around like headless chickens. Some set up a desk and start working alone. Some go for another coffee. Rarely does the whole team come together, clean up, and start the morning themselves."The exercise tests one thing: when environmental safety is gone, is relational safety strong enough to hold?THE TAKEAWAYNo breakthrough happens in the same environment a team has always worked in. To unlock innovation, transformation, or change, environmental safety has to come down—but only after relational safety has been deliberately built.Build the Cruising Zone first. Visit the Fifth Stage when the breakthrough is required. Return.REFERENCES:Clark, T. R. The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety.Edmondson, A. The Fearless Organization.Bennis, W.

“Before we learn to preach, prophesy, or lead… we better learn how to stoop down.”In this powerful Week 432 message from the North Georgia Revival, Pastor David Edmondson preaches a bold and deeply convicting word from John chapter 8 about the woman caught in adultery and the mercy of Jesus.Pastor David reminds the Church that before Jesus ever condemned people, He first stooped down into the dirt beside them. This message is a call for believers to stop picking up stones and start carrying the heart of Jesus toward broken people.Throughout the sermon, Pastor David confronts pride, religious hypocrisy, judgment, offense, church hurt, social media outrage culture, and the danger of exposing others while ignoring our own need for grace.Using the story of the adulterous woman, he shows how Jesus handled sinners with mercy while challenging the hearts of the religious leaders who wanted punishment instead of restoration.This message is not only about grace — it's about humility, repentance, purity, and remembering that every one of us has needed Jesus to stoop down into our mess at some point in life.Powerful, honest, and deeply challenging, this sermon will speak to anyone who has ever struggled with offense, judgment, failure, shame, or feeling disqualified.Jesus still stoops down

Children of Light: Ephesians 5:5-14 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

The New Self: Ephesians 4:17-5:4 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: Grieving parents, anyone navigating child loss, and those supporting someone through deep grief and trauma.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: Honest insight into grief processing, how to show up for someone in loss, and how to break the silence around death and healing.DESCRIPTION:In this powerful episode, Nick Gaylord sits down with Kelly Edmondson to explore the unimaginable grief of losing her son, Darius, to sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Kelly shares the raw reality of child loss, the shock of sudden death, and the emotional aftermath that reshapes identity and life itself. Together, they unpack why silence around grief is more damaging than grief itself and how honest conversation creates space for healing. Kelly opens up about the importance of speaking directly about death, the role of support systems, and what grieving people truly need. The conversation also dives into societal discomfort around loss, the failure of traditional bereavement norms, and the long-term impact of unprocessed grief. Nick guides the discussion with empathy and clarity, reinforcing the mission of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word. This episode is both a tribute to Darius and a roadmap for navigating grief with honesty, connection, and courage.This episode answers: How do you cope with the sudden loss of a child?  What should you say to someone who is grieving a major loss?  Why is silence harmful in the grieving process?  How can you support someone dealing with child loss and trauma?  What does healthy grief processing actually look like over time? Key Takeaways: Grief is not the problem—silence is what isolates and damages healing.  Saying the words “dead” and “died” helps process reality, not avoid it.  Support matters more than perfection—showing up is everything.  Unprocessed grief can manifest as physical, emotional, and mental health issues.  There is no timeline for grief, and traditional expectations often fail grieving people.Website / Businesshttps://thetimelypresence.com https://www.thememorybox.coLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-edmondsonInstagram (Personal): https://www.instagram.com/the.kellyedmondsonInstagram (Business): https://www.instagram.com/thetimelypresenceFacebook (Business): https://www.facebook.com/TimelyPresenceSupport the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS! FOLLOW US ON APPLE OR YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST PLATFORM! BOOKMARK OUR WEBSITE: www.griefisnotadirtyword.com FOLLOW OUR DEAD DADS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/griefisnotadirtyword Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griefisnotadirtyword TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@griefisnotadirtywordYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmv6sdmMIys3GDBjiui3kw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-gaylord/
