In Part 1 of Mike Lejeune's interview with Stephen Gaffney on Strategies for Tomorrow's Leaders, they delve into what it takes to build a consistently high-achieving team. Stephen emphasizes that trust and honest communication are essential for great teamwork.  He and Mike discuss how leaders can create an environment where team members feel comfortable sharing concerns and real feedback—without fear. Stephen explains that when people feel emotionally safe, they're more likely to speak up about problems and contribute ideas, which ultimately drives better results. In fact, he shares a story of a struggling team that turned their performance around once they made open, honest conversations a daily habit. Another key theme of this episode is the importance of focusing on outcomes instead of just effort. Stephen challenges leaders to rethink how they define success: it's not about how hard people try, but what they actually accomplish. He offers practical tips for shifting a team's mindset toward results, like setting clear goals and rewarding achievements. Throughout the conversation, you'll hear real-world examples and simple strategies that any leader can use to boost trust, encourage open dialogue, and keep their team focused on what really matters. Highlights Why people don't tell the truth at work: Stephen shares the top reason and how to fix it A team transformed: How a struggling team turned around once honest feedback became the norm Results vs. effort: The culture shift that happens when you reward outcomes instead of hours worked Inviting tough feedback: Stephen's tips for making it safe for your team to speak up (even with bad news) No more “shooting the messenger”: What to do as a leader when you hear uncomfortable truths Consistency in performance: Why high-achieving teams focus on repeated wins, not one-off successes Key Takeaways Create psychological safety for honesty. Teams perform best when people feel safe to speak up with the truth. Measure success by results, not effort. Emphasize outcomes achieved instead of hours spent or “trying hard.” Invite candid feedback often. Regularly ask your team for honest input and listen without getting defensive. Lead by example. Admit your own mistakes and share your honest thoughts respectfully – it sets the tone for everyone else. Make accountability a team effort. Encourage team members to hold each other responsible for results, not just rely on the boss. Focus on solutions, not blame. When things go wrong, discuss how to improve and reach the goal next time rather than pointing fingers.

Ok, question for the day. What's the difference between a melting pot and a stew? Oh, yeah, there is a difference! You see, a melting pot is where all the ingredients blend together and pretty soon you can't tell what is what. In other words, the ingredients lose their separate identity. And how about a stew? Well, you've got the beef, the potatoes, the carrots, the onions, and whatever else might be in the refrigerator. They all pretty much stay what they are. The beef still is beef, the carrots stay carrots, the onions stay onions, the potatoes stay potatoes, and they'll make a pretty nice mixture. Now, did you know that your church - your family - is probably more of a stew than a melting pot, and if you're not careful, the pot will boil over. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Walls Where There Should Be Bridges." Our word for today from the Word of God is written to the saint's stew at the Church of Rome. Now, you've got to understand, this letter to the people of Rome - the Christians that we call the Romans in the book - are an interesting group of people. They're not all alike. In fact, in that church you have slaves and slave masters. You have probably the very rich of Rome and some of the very poor. You have very religious Jews from a scrupulous Jewish religious background. And then you've got people who've come from a totally pagan Gentile background who have come to Christ. It's really a saint's stew. And guess what they're doing? They're arguing. The carrots are arguing with the beef, and the beef's arguing with the potatoes, and they are arguing over everything from what food it's Christian to eat, to what days it's Christian to take off and honor. And into the middle of this saint's stew Paul comes with his admonition in our word for today from the Word of God, Romans 14:19. And since you live in a group of Christians who are very different, even in your family, you need this word too today. "Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification." Edification - that's a big old $100 theological word for making other people more important; for building them up, not tearing them down. Paul says you've got to work at it. He says you don't fall into this "make every effort." This is strain, this is really, you know, a lot of sweat and effort into this. Make every effort to do what leads to peace. Don't waste any energy on trying to get all of God's kids to be alike. He didn't make them to be alike; don't try to make them alike. You know, God loves variety. That's why He created different fingerprints, different snowflakes, and that's why He makes His church a stew. The beef shouldn't become potatoes. The potatoes shouldn't become carrots. The carrots shouldn't become onions. Some of us pray loud, and some of us pray softly, and some of us are black, and brown, or white. We have different views on the 10% area of Christianity that Christians disagree on. But we're pretty much the same in the 90%. Why don't we emphasize the 90% we agree on? We worship at the same cross; we celebrate the same empty tomb. We're all family; we're going to be in heaven together forever. Why do we let there be walls where there should be bridges? Now, you can be what God delights in - a bring-us-together person. Are you one of those? Emphasize what unites us as followers of Christ, not what divides us. They'll know we are Christians by what? By our love. I'll tell you, there are enough people stirring up God's saint's stew. Why don't you keep it cool?

We are opening the waxing moon cycle of the Taurus New Moon that occurs April 27 at 3:31 PM ET. I was struck as last week panned out, that we approach the Taurus New Moon on the day of Pope Francis' funeral. His funeral was on a day when the moon approaches resonance with Earth Goddess energy. Pope Francis valued women. From the onset of his papacy, he marked Mary Magdalene's feast day July 22 as official (always acknowledged by those who admired her as a saint). He brought her into more visibility as the first apostle: the “apostle of the apostles” because she was the one who first saw Christ risen from the tomb. I don't speak a lot about my faith of origin, but I have a very strong education in religion, not just Catholicism. At this point of my life, my interest and curiosity about rituals lead me to speculate on how such an old faith may continue and thrive. I would love to see Catholicism open to an even more progressive pope, which the New Moon suggests is possible. I would also love to see President Trump soften his stance with Zelensky and Europe; may the resonance of loving energy that brought world leaders together on that day of the funeral provide that shift. But however the power dynamic changes, the Taurus New Moon gave us a womb to spring from — your thoughts and wishes of positive growth are powerful.We're still in the energy of that juicy New Moon to think in terms of what:* you want to bring into your life* who you want to attract * what you deserve Amplify that… it helps to find a spot in Nature and feel a part of the Source.I can't encourage all of us enough to amplify the resonance of peace and love at this point in time. Emphasize fairness, peace, and the inherent value and worth of every living being on the planet. Right now there is a lot of noise that does not value human life, or the health of the earth and all animals and its environments.Put optimism, energy and hope of this new moon into your personal life.

It's not an either/ or proposition, it's both! There are areas where you definitely have to pull you own weight but often, much more often than you may think, we are supposed to help each other through life. Today, we are thinking about self-reliance and interdependence for disciples of Jesus. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 B. Overview Scripture calls believers to cultivate personal accountability (self-reliance) while actively engaging in a community of faith (interdependence). Key Themes: Biblical foundations for self-reliance in areas like personal spiritual growth, work, and stewardship. Scriptural mandates for living in community, bearing one another's burdens, and using spiritual gifts for the common good. C. Context Emphasize believer's individual responsibility before God. Highlight the importance of local church fellowship as a way of fulfilling our mission together. D. Today I want you to consider: What does “self-reliance” mean in your personal walk with Christ? How do you see interdependence playing a role in your local church or community? II. Self-Reliance in the Christian Life A. Definition and Biblical Context Self-reliance: Cultivating personal responsibility in one's faith, work, finances, and spiritual growth, recognizing that while God provides strength, He also calls us to be diligent stewards of our lives. B. Passages on Self-Reliance Proverbs 6:6-8 (NKJV): “Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.” Encourage proactive effort and preparedness in everyday life. In what areas of your life can you emulate the ant's industriousness? Galatians 6:4-5 (NKJV): “But let each one examine his own work, and then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.” Highlight the importance of personal evaluation and responsibility. How can you take ownership of your spiritual growth while avoiding pride? Philippians 4:13 (NKJV): “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Emphasize that personal achievement is rooted in Christ's strength working through us. How does relying on Christ's strength change your approach to personal challenges? C. Practical Steps Self-Examination: Encourage daily devotional practices and self-reflection. How are you taking responsibility for your life now? What practical actions show that you are serious about your spiritual life and responsibilities before God? Personal Responsibility: Discuss setting goals in prayer, work, and study. Where do you need to be more proactive? Are the basics covered? Are you seeking out ways to intentionally pursue godliness in your life? How, Where, When? Is it on your calendar and in your budget? Stewardship: Explore biblical principles of managing finances, time, and talents responsibly. Do you recognize the accountability that you have before God in the decisions you make? What does that look like? **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** III. Interdependence in the Body of Christ A. Definition and Biblical Context Interdependence: Recognizing that while believers are called to personal responsibility, they are also part of a larger, unified body where mutual support, accountability, and service are essential. B. Passages on Interdependence 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 (NKJV): “For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ...” Illustrate how each believer has a unique role that contributes to the health of the whole body. Which “spiritual gifts” do you see in your life that benefit the community, and how can you serve more effectively? Where and how are you living out this ‘Body Life' of the church? Sunday morning worship service is NOT enough. Are you intentionally seeking fellowship and investing in the life of your church family. Are you inviting them into your life? Small groups, one on one meetings, microchurch gatherings in public and homes. Galatians 6:2 (NKJV): “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Stress the call to support one another in times of difficulty. How have you experienced God's provision through the help of others? How can you extend that help? Ephesians 4:15-16 (NKJV): “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. From whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is equipped, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.” Emphasize mutual edification and the organic growth of the church as a family of believers. In what ways can you contribute to the spiritual growth of your church family? Intentionality is Key. C. Application and Practical Steps Fellowship and Community: Discuss the importance of small groups, church ministries, and accountability partnerships. Doesn't happen accidently. Serving Others: Outline practical opportunities for service in the local community and the global church. Local church, neighbor church, etc. IV. Integrating Self-Reliance and Interdependence Recognizing the Balance Christians are called to be proactive and responsible stewards of their own lives (self-reliance) while also fully engaging in the support system provided by the Church (interdependence). James 2:14-17 (NKJV): “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? … Thus faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Faith must be expressed both individually and collectively. How does your personal faith inspire you to serve the community, and in turn, how does community service strengthen your personal walk with Christ? How do you maintain personal discipline while remaining open to community guidance? “In what specific ways will you take responsibility for your personal growth this week, and how will you actively engage with your faith community?” **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making 1. Lack of Intentionality Unclear Vision: Often, churches and individual believers may not have a clear, intentional vision or plan for disciple making. Without concrete goals, training, and accountability measures, disciple making can become an incidental outcome rather than a strategic priority. Scriptural Neglect: Some ministries may focus heavily on evangelism while underemphasizing the lifelong process of nurturing, teaching, and mentoring new believers. This disconnect from the biblical mandate (e.g., Matthew 28:19-20) can lead to a superficial understanding of discipleship. 2. Cultural Individualism Self-Reliance Over Community: Modern Western culture often emphasizes personal autonomy and self-reliance, which can contrast sharply with the biblical call to community (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). This individualism makes it more challenging to create environments where believers willingly submit to accountability, mentoring, and mutual growth. Reluctance to Invest in Others: The desire for personal achievement and success may lead some to undervalue the long-term commitment required to disciple others, rather than focusing on immediate personal benefits or social status. 3. Time Constraints and Busyness Competing Priorities: In today's fast-paced society, individuals often struggle to balance work, family, and ministry responsibilities. This busyness can leave little room for the deep, personal interactions required for disciple making. Over-Scheduled Lives: Constant digital engagement and overloaded schedules can lead to shallow relationships that lack the depth needed for transformative discipleship. 4. Lack of Effective Leadership and Training Insufficient Leadership Development: Effective discipleship requires mentors who are themselves mature in their faith and skilled in relational dynamics. A shortage of trained leaders who can intentionally mentor others is a significant barrier. Inadequate Resources: Churches may not invest adequately in training programs or create robust systems for leadership development, resulting in missed opportunities to equip believers for disciple making. 5. Digital Distractions and Superficial Engagement Impact of Technology: While digital media offers innovative outreach tools, the overreliance on online interactions can lead to more shallow, transactional relationships that lack the depth and accountability found in face-to-face mentoring. Social Media Culture: Constant engagement with social media may foster a culture of immediacy and quick approval, which can detract from the slow, formative process of true disciple making. 6. Fear of Judgment and Vulnerability Relational Barriers: Discipleship involves vulnerability and accountability. Many believers may be reluctant to share their struggles or admit weaknesses due to the fear of judgment or rejection by peers. Cultural Stigma: In both church settings and the broader society, there can be stigma associated with showing vulnerability, leading individuals to hide their need for growth rather than seeking relational support. 7. Theological Misunderstandings Misconceptions About Grace and Works: Some may mistakenly view discipleship as a checklist of rules or a set of actions rather than a transformative process fueled by the Holy Spirit. This can lead to legalism on one end or laxity on the other. Lack of Depth: Without a robust, well-balanced teaching on both grace and discipline, believers can misunderstand the essence of discipleship, which involves both receiving God's unmerited favor and engaging in the process of sanctification. 8. Resource Limitations and Institutional Challenges Financial and Infrastructural Constraints: Smaller churches or those in economically challenged areas might lack the resources to create comprehensive discipleship programs. Budget constraints, limited venues for small groups, or lack of access to quality teaching materials can impact effectiveness. Institutional Resistance: Sometimes, long-standing institutional practices can resist change, making it difficult to adapt or innovate new methods for effective disciple making. **(1:00)**   As we follow Jesus there is a need to do our part and help others along the way. Engaging in the life of the church family often benefits you more than you expect, in ways that you don't expect. The Body of Christ, when operating as it should helps you to grow and gives you opportunities to invest in helping others to grow. Your gifts are needed just as you need the gifts of others.   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Episode Overview: In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with operations expert Joel Perso to unpack the one thing that separates thriving agents from the ones stuck spinning their wheels: execution. They reveal why most real estate entrepreneurs are great at starting but fail at finishing—and how to break that cycle with a proven system that scales. If you're serious about winning in 2025 without burning out or sacrificing profitability, this is the episode you need. Key Topics Covered: The Real Reason Agents Struggle to Execute Why most entrepreneurs are starters, not finishers—and how that stalls growth. The "solopreneur trap" and the dangers of doing everything yourself. How lack of clarity and shiny object syndrome kill momentum. The 4 Disciplines of Execution What it means to focus on the “wildly important goals” (WIGs) in your business. The power of lead measures over lag measures—and how to take control of your results. How to keep a compelling scorecard and implement real accountability that sticks. Mindset Shifts for High-Level Performance Developing a true "can-do" attitude inside your business. Why progress > perfection and how to keep momentum rolling. Operational Systems That Scale How execution is different from daily operations—and why both matter. The secret to building once and managing forever (with the right team and scorecard). Why investing in people who manage is a game-changer. Inside “Boardroom”: A Hybrid Coaching Model That Actually Delivers How John and Joel designed a system that combines clarity, strategy, accountability, and implementation. The difference between coaching and actual execution support—and why you need both. What makes their two-week cycle model so powerful for real estate entrepreneurs. Actionable Takeaways: Narrow your focus: 1–2 critical goals per quarter is the sweet spot. Track the right metrics: Emphasize what you can control, not just results. Install a cadence of accountability. Surround yourself with people who complement your genius zone—and manage what you start. Don't just invest in leads. Invest in the systems and people who help you finish what matters.

 How to NOT Raise a Narcissist: 3 Key Strategies for ParentsAttune to Your Child in an Appropriate WayAvoid giving fake or exaggerated compliments, such as "You're the best," "You're so special," or "You're perfect." Instead, spend quality time with your child.Only offer compliments when they come from the heart and are genuine.Engage with your child by asking questions like, "What are you doing?" and truly listen to their response.Be fully present during interactions. Put away your phone and avoid distractions. If your child calls for your attention, pause what you're doing and give them your full focus.Listen to Their Needs Without JudgmentWhen your child expresses a desire—even if it's something you don't personally like, such as a video game—avoid reacting with frustration or disapproval. Instead, ask why they want it and show understanding.Offer alternatives if necessary, but never shame or dismiss their needs. For example, if they want to play a video game and you'd prefer to read a book together, suggest both activities. This helps them feel secure and valued.Fulfilling their desires (within reason) and offering alternatives ensures they feel loved and supported.Show Affection and Be AvailableMake time for your child. If you're busy, postpone other tasks or delegate them to someone else.If you can't be present, ensure your child is cared for by a trusted babysitter or caregiver. A good babysitter can provide the attention and care your child needs when you're unavailable.Avoid using your child for social media content, such as posting selfies or oversharing about them. If you do share online, be authentic—express your true feelings or share something meaningful and inspiring.Teach Values Like Gratitude and HumilityEducate your child about the dangers of self-praise, bragging, and arrogance. Explain that these behaviors are harmful and can lead to narcissistic tendencies.Encourage gratitude by teaching them to say "thank you" for both positive and negative experiences.Emphasize the importance of humility and kindness over self-centeredness.Final ThoughtsA narcissist struggles to love themselves and others genuinely. By fostering empathy, gratitude, and humility, you can help your child develop healthy self-esteem and strong relationships.Avoid promoting narcissistic behaviors, and instead, focus on raising a child who values others and practices gratitude.My Video:  How to NOT Raise a Narcissist? https://youtu.be/NTmWTd53DGkMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/How-to-NOT-Raise-a-Narcissist.mp3

In this episode of Change Leader Insights, Jessica Crow speaks with Rich Steele, a technology leader with 25+ years of experience driving project delivery and transformational change, about leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and change. As the Enterprise AI Practice Leader at Execution Specialists Group (ESG), Rich guides clients through strategic planning, implementation, and optimization, harnessing the full potential and promise of AI and other technologies to accelerate growth, transform operations, and empower employee and customer experiences. Previously, Rich was the Director of the Central Portfolio Management Office at Charles Schwab and has held senior leadership roles at DaVita Healthcare Partners and JPMorgan Chase. He is also on the AI Advisory Board for Denver University, has presented at the Gartner PMO Symposium, and has been a guest speaker at Syracuse University and the Colorado School of Mines. During the conversation, Jessica asked Rich what questions organizations should ask when implementing AI. Says Rich, “The first question to ask is fundamentally, ‘Where are you trying to go? What problems do you have? What do you want to be when you grow up?' There's this tendency to want to jump on the bandwagon. AI's implications on your company, culture, and business processes can be huge. It's important to be intentional about where you're trying to go.” Highlights from the conversation include: ☑️ A brief history of AI and the expected impacts on the global economy ☑️ An overview of what organizations should consider when implementing AI to make it a lasting success for their teams ☑️ Advice for preparing for a future state in which humans collaborate with AI to do their jobs If you want to learn more about AI and change, be sure to tune in and hear what Rich has to say!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/26/2025): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump held his first White House meeting with all appointed cabinet officials. During the meeting, Elon Musk—the head of the Department of Government Efficiency—stated “this is an incredible group of people. I don't think such a talented team has ever been assembled,” calling it “the best cabinet ever.” 3:15pm- While appearing on Fox News, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she would remove intelligence officials who engaged in vulgar, sexually explicit conversations in government chatrooms. Gabbard explained: “I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated, and their security clearances will be revoked.” 3:20pm- CNN anchor Jake Tapper announced the release of his latest book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” But Rich notes Tapper is a hypocrite. During an interview with Lara Trump, Tapper vociferously denied Joe Biden was experiencing any sort of cognitive decline and suggested that people were merely picking on the then-president for suffering from a life-long stutter. 3:40pm- Is the blooming onion at Outback Steakhouse the best appetizer? Rich argues it's thanks to the restaurant chain's use of beef tallow instead of seed oils. Interestingly, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has argued seed oils are less healthy than beef tallow. So, are more restaurants going to start using beef tallow again? 4:05pm- Jeffrey Tucker—Founder, Author, and President at Brownstone Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, “America's Future Depends on DOGE: If Trump and Musk don't succeed in showing the bureaucracy who's boss, it's likely no one ever will.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/americas-future-depends-on-doge-efficiency-overhaul-system-b2875bcd. 4:30pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump held his first White House meeting with all appointed cabinet officials. During the meeting, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth notably pledged to hold people accountable for the U.S. military's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed a measles outbreak which has resulted in two deaths—but insisted there is no need for a nationwide panic. 4:40pm- Jeff Bezos announced that The Washington Post opinion page will emphasize “personal liberties” and “free markets” in all of its stories moving forward. Bezos offered the paper's opinion editor David Shipley the opportunity to retain his position—however, Shipley declined. Rich wonders, what is so controversial about promoting individual liberty? 4:45pm- Hollywood executive Kathleen Kennedy will be retiring from her position as president of Lucasfilm. Kennedy is, of course, largely responsible for destroying the Star Wars franchise. But is it too late to be saved? 4:55pm- In a post to social media, progressive California Governor Gavin Newsom announced he's starting a new podcast! 5:05pm According to a new study, President Donald Trump has taken 1,009 questions from the press since being sworn in on January 25th. In Barack Obama's first month in office, he took 161 questions—while Joe Biden took 141 in his first month as president. 5:10pm- President Donald Trump announced the creation of a “Gold Card” which will replace the EB-5 immigration program. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the card will cost $5 million dollars and will encourage non-citizens to bring their successful businesses to the United States. Lutnick noted that if the U.S. sells 200,000 cards, it will amount to $1 trillion which the administration can then use to pay down the national debt. 5:25pm- Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)—the Congressman who has fought for “helium equity,” expressed concern about Guam “capsizing,” and called the Tooth Fairy anti-Christian—is back! P ...

Key Discussion PointsC.S. Lewis's The Four Loves: A Brief OverviewC.S. Lewis's classic book The Four Loves breaks down the four distinct forms of love that humans experience. Each love, while good, requires God's divine love (Agape) to be fully redeemed and effective.Affection (Storge) – The love that naturally develops in families and close communities.Friendship (Philia) – The deep bond of trust and companionship between people with shared interests.Romantic Love (Eros) – The passionate love that moves individuals toward deep commitment.Charity (Agape) – The selfless, sacrificial love that reflects Christ's love for humanity.In this episode, we apply these loves to leadership and examine how Christian leaders can integrate them into their ministries, teams, and organizations.The Four Loves in Christian Leadership1. Affection (Storge) – Cultivating a Caring CommunityWhat It Means:Storge is the love of familiarity, warmth, and deep-rooted connection. It is seen in family relationships and close-knit communities.Leadership Application:Foster a culture of care and belonging in leadership teams and congregations.Ensure people feel valued beyond their roles or contributions.Beware of pitfalls like favoritism or complacency.Practical Takeaway:Develop mentorship and pastoral care strategies.Make time for personal connections and genuine encouragement.Lead with empathy and presence, ensuring your team feels seen and supported.2. Friendship (Philia) – The Power of Brotherhood and Sisterhood in LeadershipWhat It Means:Philia is the love of deep friendship and shared purpose. It is not based on obligation but on mutual respect and commitment to a common mission.Leadership Application:Cultivate strong, trusting relationships with fellow leaders.Emphasize team-based leadership over top-down authority.Guard against exclusivity or favoritism that could hinder inclusivity.Practical Takeaway:Build a healthy leadership community that encourages accountability.Develop peer mentorship and co-leadership models.Foster an atmosphere of encouragement and collaboration.3. Romantic Love (Eros) – Passion and Devotion to a CallingWhat It Means:Eros, in leadership, is not merely romantic love but also represents a deep passion for one's calling. Passionate leaders inspire, but they must guard against self-centered ambition.Leadership Application:Lead with passion and conviction while staying humble.Avoid letting ambition override the needs of people.Ensure passion is fueled by Agape (selfless love) rather than personal success.Practical Takeaway:Regularly evaluate motivations to ensure they align with God's calling.Maintain accountability with fellow leaders.Stay rooted in service over self-promotion.4. Charity (Agape) – The Ultimate Model of Servant LeadershipWhat It Means:Agape is the selfless, sacrificial love that mirrors Christ's love for humanity. It is the highest form of love and the foundation for true servant leadership.Leadership Application:Make decisions that prioritize people over power.Lead with humility, grace, and a heart for service.Recognize that Agape often requires sacrifice but yields eternal impact.Practical Takeaway:Adopt a servant leadership mindset, following Jesus's example.Make leadership about equipping and empowering others.Seek to love without expectation, embodying the heart of Christ.Closing Thoughts: Leading with LoveA Christ-centered leader embodies all four loves in leadership:1. Storge (Affection) → Cultivating a family-like community.2. Philia (Friendship) → Building deep, trusting relationships.3. Eros (Passion) → Leading with inspiration and conviction.4. Agape (Charity) → Serving with unconditional love.By applying these principles, Christian leaders reflect the love of Christ and create thriving, impactful ministries.Reflective Questions for ListenersWhich of the four loves is most challenging for you as a leader? Why?How can leaders balance passion (Eros) for their mission without becoming consumed by personal ambition?What are practical ways Christian leaders can cultivate Agape in their leadership today?Join the Conversation!We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Guest: Mitch Lewandowski   Guest Bio: I was recently asked, "What's your passion?" That made me think about who I am as a person, husband, father and contributor. As I considered my 35-plus years of leadership, it wasn't about the deals I'd done or the places I'd gone. What made me tick and come alive was something so much more meaningful. It came down to the sense of purpose and fulfillment I've gotten through making a difference in the lives of the people and companies I've impacted. Helping an individual come alive and gain freedom to be a better person. Assisting a company to break free from costly and/or ineffective habits. Working with a customer that has given me passport into their lives and business and trusting me along the way of change that forever improves them. You can't put a price on that. It's priceless and it has no number. That's my passion. Key Points: Genesis of Cymbionic: Founded a consulting firm to help businesses achieve health and wholeness. Focusing on investing knowledge gained from past experiences to support others. Concept of Healthy Organizations: Healthy organizations foster collaboration and shared beliefs among leadership teams. Emphasizing the importance of collective growth rather than individual gain. Engaging Teams in Vision Creation: Encourages inclusive brainstorming to develop a shared vision and destination. "If there's no way in, there's no buy-in": team involvement leads to greater commitment. Overcoming Resistance to Change: Leaders must inspire and equip teams rather than dictate actions. Leaders should be open to team input to find a mutually agreeable direction. Addressing Self-Limiting Beliefs: Look for candidates willing to take risks and learn from failures. Use motivational examples (like the “death crawl” from Facing the Giants) to challenge and inspire. Fostering Coachability and Teachability: Use the FAITH acronym (Faithful, Available, Interdependent, Teachable, Hungry) to screen candidates. Emphasize teamwork and the importance of interdependence for success.  Behavioral Change Approach: Focus on capturing team members' hearts to inspire behavioral change. Promote an environment where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities. Continuous Improvement: Encourage ongoing dialogue and teamwork to refine strategies and maintain engagement. Highlight the importance of shared goals to drive collective success. Team-Oriented Mindset: Emphasis on collaboration and recognizing team contributions over individual achievements. The speaker values “we” over “me.” Look for individuals who are driven to help the team succeed rather than those focused solely on personal gain or material rewards. Learning from Others: Importance of understanding how candidates have successfully worked with various teams (like pre-sales and onboarding) to achieve goals.  Community Engagement: Suggesting that salespeople participate in volunteer activities to cultivate a mindset of service and generosity, which can translate to better performance in the workplace.  Client-Centered Approach: Emphasizing the need for salespeople to be genuinely interested in their clients, as building relationships leads to better outcomes. Awareness and Attunement: Encouraging salespeople to "raise their antenna" to be more receptive to client needs and signals, enhancing communication and relationship-building.   Guest Links: cymbionic.com mitch@cymbionic.com       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.  Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.

Pop quiz: Which would you prefer? (a) That your husband focus his thoughts on your loveliest, most noble and praiseworthy characteristics? (b) That he ignore your good points completely and concentrate instead on your most annoying and bothersome flaws? That's an easy answer, as far as I'm concerned. So shouldn't you make every effort to treat your spouse the way you'd want to be treated yourself by emphasizing your husband's good points?

In today's episode, supported by Revolution Medicines, we had the pleasure of speaking with Heinz-Josef Lenz, MD, about RAS mutations in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Dr Lenz is a professor of medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC), as well as the J. Terrence Lanni Chair in Gastrointestinal Cancer Research, co-director of the USC Center for Molecular Pathway and Drug Discovery, and co-director of the USC Norris Center for Cancer Drug Development in Los Angeles. In our exclusive interview, Dr Lenz discussed the prevalence of RAS mutations in PDAC, the importance of biomarker testing, current treatment strategies for patients with RAS-mutant PDAC, and potential future treatment advances for patients with this disease.

In this episode, dive deep into the transformative concept that beliefs shape reality. Explore how everything in life exists simultaneously—abundance, lack, love, and fear—and it's perception, driven by beliefs, that determines what is experienced. Learn how shifting the belief system can open doors to new realities. If there is belief something will fail, it likely will. But if there is belief in success, that belief becomes the foundation for experiencing it. It's not about external circumstances but the lens through which they are viewed. Emphasize the power of "I am" statements as tools to shift frequency and align with the desired reality. When declaring, "I am the luckiest person in the world," start to see proof of that luck everywhere.Life isn't happening to people; it's happening for them. This mindset shift empowers finding growth and opportunities even in challenges. Every event is a stepping stone towards the desired life when viewed through a positive lens. Life is filled with noise—distractions, challenges, and external pressures. But clarity comes from within. The inner guidance system, connected to the universal source, holds the answers. By tuning into this internal compass, gain the strength to overcome fears, embrace opportunities, and live authentically. Become the rising tide that lifts all ships, influencing not just personal life but those around. - Henry ---- Social Media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say hi on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say Hi on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---- Email Me ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠henry@vibeabundant.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Episode Summary:In this episode of The Floral Hustle Podcast, Jen takes a deep dive into the wedding consultation process—a critical step in converting leads and booking ideal clients. She walks through her step-by-step consultation framework, from initial inquiry to closing the sale. Learn how to structure your consultations, build rapport, and position yourself as an expert to attract dream clients who trust your expertise (and are willing to pay for it!).Whether you're new to floristry or refining your sales strategy, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you book more weddings with ease and avoid time-wasting inquiries.Key Takeaways:1. The Role of Consultations in Booking High-Value ClientsConsultations aren't just about selling—they're about ensuring a great fit between you and the couple.Use this time to build trust, establish expertise, and set expectations—so you book weddings you actually want to work on.The right consultation eliminates price shoppers and attracts clients who value your work.2. Should You Require a Consultation?Some florists rely on forms and email communication only, skipping consultations entirely.Jen believes in a more personalized approach—especially for high-end, custom floral designs.Consultations allow you to connect with couples, understand their vision, and ensure they align with your pricing and style.3. The Pre-Consultation Process: Qualifying the LeadJen doesn't meet with everyone—she first screens inquiries to determine if they are a good fit.Her inquiry form only asks 7 key questions, including wedding date, venue, budget, and design inspiration.She sends a brochure with pricing guidance before scheduling a consultation to ensure transparency.4. Setting Up & Structuring the ConsultationUse a scheduling tool like Calendly to avoid back-and-forth emails.Jen hosts 95% of consultations on Zoom for a face-to-face experience without the travel time.She starts by building rapport—asking about the venue, couple's story, and unique details.5. Breaking Down the Consultation Process✅ Personal Flowers: Start with the bride's bouquet and work through the wedding party.✅ Ceremony Flowers: Ask about arches, aisle decor, and any additional floral needs.✅ Reception: Determine table count, centerpiece styles, and head table florals (long table garlands, installations, etc.).✅ Color & Flower Selection: Save this for the end to avoid clients getting hyper-focused on specifics too early.✅ Venue Expertise: If you've worked at their venue before, position yourself as an expert—this builds trust!✅ Closing the Consultation: Recap the discussion, set expectations, and explain next steps for booking.6. Positioning Yourself as the ExpertThroughout the conversation, drop cues that reinforce your experience (e.g., “I've done dozens of weddings at this venue.”).If the couple has a Pinterest board full of conflicting styles, help them refine their vision rather than executing exactly what they've pinned.Emphasize flexibility with floral selections—avoid promising specific blooms to reduce risk and increase creative freedom.7. Closing the Sale: The Proposal & Booking ProcessJen does provide proposals (some educators discourage this, but she believes in transparency).She does NOT send a contract until the client confirms they are moving forward.She places a 7-day soft hold on the date to encourage quick decision-making.Uses follow-up emails strategically to nudge couples toward booking.Jen's Golden Rule:
