In this episode Justin continues a discussion on the distinction between being a peacemaker and a peacekeeper, emphasizing the Biblical call to actively pursue peace within one's sphere of responsibility, as highlighted in Romans 12:18 and Ephesians 4:3. He explains that peacemakers intentionally establish and enforce peace, even if it requires engaging in conflict to address chaos or disruptive elements, without compromising with evil or chaos. In contrast, peacekeepers may passively compromise, settling for a superficial peace that avoids necessary confrontation, which can lead to burnout and a lack of true shalom (wholeness). Justin stresses the importance of clarity, courage, and Biblical principles in maintaining peace, advocating for withdrawing from situations where chaos persists after reasonable efforts, and underscores that true peace comes from Jesus, not worldly compromises, encouraging listeners to build shalom actively with the tools God provides.

Judy Bornstein, Boomer, joins me to discuss conflict – whoa! Judy is the Founder of C Suite Resolutions, where she provides mediation, ombuds services, conflict and negotiation coaching, and corporate trainings to organizations and executives. She has worked extensively as a CFO and Chief Compliance Officer, and brings her business experience to her work in addressing conflict. Topics Covered: Conflict definition Disagreement vs conflict Gossip Consequences of pushing down conflict Costs involved in unresolved conflicts How organizations set themselves up to handle conflicts Ombuds (trained independent designated neutral to build trust) Working in conflict and understanding our reactions Mediations Three Episode Takeaways   1.   If we only think of conflict as a fight we can lose that it can be a really powerful engine for creativity, change, and self-reflection. 2.   Responses to conflict can fall along gender lines. Many women are raised to “be nice” and “be good”, and told “don't make a scene”. Women may be uncomfortable acknowledging a conflict so will be quiet or not address it directly, and there is less latitude for women to express conflict than is often afforded to men 3.   Humans are naturally (evolutionarily) wired to not like conflict, so that means our managers, bosses, and leaders probably don't like conflict. As a result conflict may pushed down or silenced, which can lead to unintentional consequences like blaming the people involved rather than learning from the situation. Conflict is an inherent part of growth and innovation in organizations.   Great Quotes: Hope is not a strategy. We may have conflict because we are wise enough to see the complexity in our world. If you have conflict in your life it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.  Conflict can be perplexing.   Episode Resources:   Baruch Bush: https://www.beyondintractability.org/bksum/bush-promise   More About Judy:   Judy is a doctoral candidate at Penn State University where her research interests center around organizational conflict. She holds a Masters in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University's Caruso School of Law, and an MBA from Simmons University in Boston, where she graduated first in her class. Judy is a Mediation trainer and serves on the San Francisco Bar Association Mediation Panel and on the Arbitration Panel for FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). She is a regular mediator for the Congress of Neutrals where she mediates court cases in Contra Costa County, CA.

In this compelling episode of the podcast, we delve into the intricate relationship between addiction and mental health, uncovering insights into recovery and the power that comes from vulnerable leadership. Titled "Navigating Addiction and Mental Health: Insights into Recovery and the Power of Vulnerable Leadership," the episode brings forth a multi-dimensional discussion that not only educates but also inspires. The conversation kicks off with an apology for technical issues with a webcam, quickly moving to introduce the work of Sofros Recovery, a treatment center in Northeast Florida that specializes in Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). The episode casts a light on the complexities of addiction, not just as a physical dependency, but as a symptom of deeper underlying issues such as trauma, mental, emotional, or relational struggles. It delves into the biological aspects of addiction, how it disrupts homeostasis, and the body's natural chemical balances, emphasizing the importance of coping mechanisms, healthy communication, and boundary-setting to improve one's overall quality of life and relationships. As the episode progresses, it explores the troubling trend of marijuana misuse among youth and its potential to cause psychosis, as well as the indiscriminate reach of addiction across various demographics. The discussion moves to the societal shift towards openness regarding mental health struggles and the importance of vulnerability and support systems in combating addiction. The narrative reinforces the therapeutic might of sharing personal battles with transparency, promoting the healing that comes from discussing challenges openly. A particularly insightful section of the episode focuses on leadership. It argues that effective leadership requires embracing one's own vulnerabilities, which in turn fosters trust and safety within teams. This segues into a broader discussion on the normalization of alcohol in society and how it has evolved from a social lubricant to a means of escapism, linking it to the rise in vulnerability issues. The episode concludes by thanking the guest for the powerful insights shared and reminding leaders of their influential role in nurturing an environment where honesty is met with compassion. It serves as a reminder of the supportive role leaders can play in the well-being of their community. The episode is rich with transcript samples from key chapters, offering a taste of the deep, authentic conversations that occur throughout. From discussing the most common types of addiction to challenging the ingredients of addiction like secrecy, isolation, avoidance, and shame, the episode provides listeners with a wealth of knowledge and strategies to foster recovery. Listeners will come away from this episode with a deeper understanding of addiction and mental health, the role of leadership in recovery, and the importance of creating a supportive community that encourages openness and vulnerability. It is an invitation to reflect on the strength found in communal openness, the pathways to wellness, and the indispensable role of authentic leadership in the fight against addiction.

Embarking on a transformative journey, the THRIVE IMPACT team dives into the concept of "10X" – a bold approach to organizational and personal growth. The 10X concept challenges conventional norms, advocating for a radical shift from incremental progress to exponential growth. But exponential growth doesn't mean hyper action—it's actually about radically doing less in order to focus on quality over quantity. It's about letting the future inform the present, rather than being constrained by the past. This episode provides a unique opportunity to witness the learning process, the friction of aligning actions with a visionary future, and the implementation of practical insights on the journey toward identifying and creating an organization's most important impact.Key Moments:01:31 The Journey to Discover the 10X Future10:41 Understanding the Concept of 10X20:41 The Impact of 10X on the Organization29:15 The Role of Working Genius in the 10X Journey34:47 The Importance of Language and Culture in 10X43:09 Embracing Conflict and Tension49:46 Letting Go of Control58:25 Starting the 10X JourneyThroughout the conversation, the team uncovers the profound impact of embracing a 10X mindset. They discuss the delicate interplay of present actions with future aspirations, the power of relinquishing control, and the synergy of aligning each team member with the organization's overarching vision.This episode is an essential listen for anyone eager to explore the potential of a 10X future. It offers a candid look at the realities of implementing a visionary strategy and serves as an inspiring guide for those ready to embark on a similar path.Listener Links/Resources:10x Is Easier Than 2x: https://10xeasierbook.com/#OrderWorking Genius: https://www.workinggenius.com/EasyRetro: https://easyretro.io/ Need to create a strategic plan (or breathe life into your existing one)?

We are encouraged to go outside of our comfort zone in many areas of our life. In this episode, I'm encouraging you to go outside your comfort zone when it comes to your relationships. The truth is most people avoid conflict and confrontation, often out of fear or a desire to maintain peace. I share reasons behind this avoidance and hesitation that so many have. Living an authentic life requires stepping beyond comfort, as it is often through challenging moments that true growth and understanding are found. By initiating honest and open conversations, I encourage you to explore the beauty that can emerge on the other side, fostering deeper connections with others and yourself, and ultimately freeing your minds from the burdens of negative clutter that often accompany unresolved conflicts.

In this episode, I talk about conflict and how it can rock our lives. However, the older I get, the more I have learned to embrace conflict as a way to grow. Of course, not every situation deserves your attention, and you will have to let things go in some disputes. But sometimes conflict can be healthy and be an excellent teacher to who you are, what you are dealing with, and how you can overcome situations. Hopefully, this episode helps some of you think of another way that you can embrace and accept the conflict that comes your way.

There's a lot of jargon when it comes to relationships in the professional world. Networking, collaboration, client development, team-building events – all of these are simply another way of saying you're attempting to build a lasting, meaningful, and trust-filled connections. But as important as getting along with others is to…well, everything… this week's conversation was a good reminder of why working on our relationships often starts by working on ourselves first. My guest this week is corporate relationship expert, Paula Quinsee. Long before Covid threw a wrench into the concept of work-place culture, Paula was stressing the need for companies to invest in their employees on the personal level so that they could better contribute on the professional level. Paula has been a TEDX speaker who is sought out by companies big and small to facilitate and implement new strategies for finding balance in all areas both inside and outside the office. In 2009 she founded Engaged Humans which aims to bring employees and leaders together so they can achieve a growth-mindset in all areas of business - and this all starts with building lasting, trusting, relationships.She is also the author of two books, “Embracing Conflict” and her most recent book, “Embracing No,” which aims help eliminate the guilt too often associated with self-care. We discuss how to make the word “No” into a full sentence, why understanding someone's past is key to working with them in the present, and how leaders can protect their most important asset – their Team.  Enjoy the show!

Just email me at terces@tercesengelhart.com and I will reply on an upcoming podcast. This week I am responding to an email I received asking this, My experience is there are some people when I choose to walk away or set a boundary, I get a toxic, fire-breathing dragon who is committed to their upset and as I extend the olive branch to leave them in good shape they try to bite my arm off or pull me back into their cave of drama.   My inner "keep the peace" and being a "nice guy" is having a hard time accessing my fierce, direct, and loving voice because I find myself feeling their pain and wanting to be tender rather than tougher. Ok, listen in if you ever have an experience like this one.   Notes Please send your real life situations to Terces terces@tercesengelhart.com IG terces and unreasonablygrateful
