    Mastering the Shift from Micromanagement to Empowerment with Stefan FeuersteinIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Stefan Feuerstein, the founder of ABC Delegation and author of the framework by the same name. Their conversation dives deep into the psychological and structural barriers that prevent leaders from effectively letting go of control. Stefan shares how his methodology helps managers move beyond the "abdication vs. micromanagement" trap, offering a clear system to foster genuine employee engagement and organizational scalability. This episode is an essential guide for any leader feeling overwhelmed by their to-do list and looking to build a high-performing, autonomous team.Implementing the ABC Framework for Scalable LeadershipEffective delegation is not about offloading tasks; it is about the strategic transfer of authority and ownership within a defined structure. Stefan explains that most leaders fail because they lack a "Mission Frame"—the clear boundaries that define a team member's area of impact—and a "Mandate Frame," which outlines their specific level of authority. By co-creating these frames, leaders provide the psychological safety necessary for employees to take risks and innovate. Without this clarity, employees often default to "learned helplessness," waiting for permission for every minor decision, which eventually leads to founder burnout and team stagnation.To solve this, Stefan's framework categorizes every responsibility into three distinct levels of autonomy: A, B, and C. Level A tasks are those the team member can execute entirely on their own; Level B requires the team member to act but keep the manager informed; and Level C requires explicit consent before any action is taken. This system allows for a dynamic growth path where tasks can migrate from C to A as trust and competence increase. By making these levels explicit, leaders eliminate the ambiguity that causes friction and delays, allowing the manager to focus on high-level strategy while the team manages the day-to-day operations with confidence.Building a culture of empowerment also requires a shift in how leaders approach follow-up and support. Stefan emphasizes that delegation is a mutual commitment: while the team member commits to ownership, the manager must commit to supportive check-ins and conflict resolution. Instead of checking up on people to catch mistakes, the "ABC Check-In" focuses on reviewing Level B and C tasks while consistently recognizing successes. This structured approach ensures that the manager stays connected to the pulse of the business without suffocating the team's creative process. Ultimately, mastering this skill transforms a group of individual contributors into a cohesive, self-leading organization.About Stefan Feuerstein:Stefan Feuerstein is the founder of ABC Delegation and an expert in organizational change and leadership development. He is the author of ABC Delegation, a book dedicated to helping managers overcome the hurdles of micromanagement to build more engaged and productive teams.About ABC DelegationABC Delegation is a consultancy and training organization that provides frameworks for effective team management.

    In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, John Highley breaks down a major shift happening in social media marketing — and why most technicians are focused on the wrong metric. After recently crossing 8 million total views in just over 130 days of consistent posting, John explains: Why followers matter less than ever How algorithms now serve content based on behavior, not who someone follows Why views are the new currency How friction in platform design reduced follow growth The psychology behind engagement and swipe behavior Why local tagging and geo-positioning matter more than you think This episode dives into the evolution of social media: Platforms now track: Watch time Scroll speed Hover time Click behavior Location tagging Engagement patterns And that means the playing field is leveling. You no longer need a million followers to dominate your market. You need: Strong positioning Relevant content Clear local targeting Consistency John also shares real-world results, including how a single reel brought back a previously hesitant customer for a $1,500 job — simply because the content resonated. If you're serious about using social media to attract pre-qualified clients instead of chasing vanity metrics, this episode is required listening. The mission isn't followers. The mission is positioning. And positioning wins.

    Episode #370 – Why "Just Be Consistent" Isn't an Email Strategy Anymore "Just be consistent" is one of the most common pieces of email marketing advice - and in 2026, it can quietly become a trap when it's misunderstood. For years, consistency meant momentum, visibility, and growth. But today, many founders are stuck sending emails out of obligation instead of intention - and that pressure often leads to weaker engagement, burnout, and unpredictable results. In this episode, I break down the difference between mechanical consistency (sending just to maintain a schedule) and strategic consistency (building predictable trust without adding noise to the inbox). Instead of chasing weekly streaks, I'll walk you through the real shift happening in modern email marketing - where success is driven by signals, not schedules. You'll learn: Why "send every week" can backfire when applied without strategy The difference between mechanical consistency and strategic consistency How forced frequency creates repetitive messaging and weaker engagement signals The four key signals that should determine your email cadence today: Audience readiness Message strength Lifecycle infrastructure Engagement stability How mature brands maintain presence without burning out their list — or themselves Strategic consistency isn't about never skipping a send. It's about showing up in ways that build trust, maintain deliverability, and support long-term revenue growth. Work with Joy Joya: https://joyjoya.com

Nun erscheint ihre Biografie – verfasst von Silvia Süess – und mit ihr wird die Forderung nach einer historischen Aufarbeitung bekräftigt. Vor 100 Jahren begann die «Aktion Kinder der Landstrasse» der Pro Juventute. Vor einem Jahr hat der Bundesrat diese Verfolgung als «Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit» anerkannt. Uschi Waser ist eine der Vertreterinnen und Vertreter jenischer Organisationen in einer Arbeitsgruppe des Bundesamtes für Kultur und der Fachstelle für Rassismusbekämpfung. Diese fordert nun eine systematische Aufarbeitung nach dem sogenannten Joinet-Prinzip. Dieses wendet die Schweiz in konfliktbetroffenen Ländern für die Vergangenheitsarbeit an. Das Prinzip basiert auf vier Schlüsselbereichen: dem Recht auf Wahrheit, dem Recht auf Gerechtigkeit, dem Recht auf Wiedergutmachung und der Garantie der Nicht-Wiederholung. Die Redaktorin der «Wochenzeitung», Silvia Süess, hat für die Biografie «Reden, um nicht zu ersticken» Uschi Wasers jahrzehntelanges Engagement für die Aufarbeitung der Geschichte und die Situation der Jenischen sowie ihre Kindheit in unzähligen Heimen und ihre Akten recherchiert.

    Aujourd'hui, je vous emmène dans un lieu qui a fait naître nos premières émotions en sciences : le Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. Un endroit où l'on vient enfant pour s'émerveiller, et où l'on revient adulte pour comprendre.Mon invité, Marc-André Selosse, y est professeur. Il travaille sur les sols, les symbioses, les microbes, les champignons -bref, sur tout ce monde invisible que nous connaissons si mal et dont dépend pourtant l'essentiel : notre nourriture, notre eau, notre santé, et une partie de notre climat.Dans cet échange, il y a une joie très rare : celle d'un scientifique qui n'a pas cessé de s'enthousiasmer. Il raconte comment, à 12 ans, il est devenu mycologue, “par boulimie de beauté et de diversité”.Marc-André nous explique ce que fait réellement un sol vivant : fabriquer la fertilité d'aujourd'hui et de demain, retenir l'eau, stocker du carbone. On parle aussi de ce qui l'abîme (labour, intrants, artificialisation) et des coûts cachés de l'agriculture conventionnelle que nous payons, parfois ailleurs, parfois plus tard, dans nos coûts de santé ou dépollution.Mais dans cet épisode, Marc-André pousse également un cri d'alarme. Il nous alerte :sur les risques majeurs que fait peser l'agriculture conventionnelle pour notre santé et pour la santé des sols. sur les risques pour l'Homme de l'effondrement de la biodiversité dont nous sommes entièrement dépendant. sur les législations passées recemment, notamment la loi Omnibus et Duplomb, qui viendront largement et brutalement aggraver la situation.Alors, agissons à notre tour :En soutenant l'agriculture respectueuse du vivant, l'agroécologie, basée sur une réduction drastique des intrants chimiques, des rotations de cultures, des plantations de haies, des sols couverts,... En maintenant une saine pression sur les législateurs,En écoutant les sciencifiques et en nous formant aux lois de la nature. Je vous laisse avec Marc-André et vous souhaite une très belle écoute.

    SUMMARY: In this episode, Aaron and Terryn unpack why operations only feels "boring" when teams get stuck in loops or over-systemize without fresh challenges. They share how staying engaged in ops requires intentionally creating space for new problems to solve—delegating repeatable work, developing people underneath you, and continuously taking on new projects that re-engage your brain. The conversation emphasizes leadership responsibility: keep your team energized by aligning roles with what excites them while still accepting that some grind is part of building strong operators. They then deep-dive into recruiting—especially overseas hiring and VAs—breaking down a practical, human-first hiring process: real screening (not just keyword filters), staged interviews, trials, and personality fit. Aaron and Terryn outline where VAs work best (task-based ops, customer support, data work, marketing ops) and where they don't (high-risk or ultra-niche expert roles like ad buying or financial control). The episode closes with a framework for smart global hiring: match role complexity to talent level, design clear SOPs, be intentional about time zones and customer-facing communication, and structure your org so overseas support amplifies—not replaces—high-touch leadership roles.   Minute by Minute: 00:00 The Excitement of Operations 06:11 Engagement and Delegation in Leadership 11:36 Effective Recruiting Strategies 17:30 Navigating Virtual Assistance 23:05 Final Thoughts and Reflections

    ​​Two common issues in churches tend to show up together, even though at first glance they don't feel related at all: first engagement steps and physical capacity. On the surface, they sound like two completely different problems. But, in reality, they're way more connected than most leaders realize. You can't grow sustainably if you're not engaging people well, and you can't engage people well if you don't have the space to serve them. These are two of the most common barriers we see; however, the good news is that these have proven solutions.  We're wrapping up our series on Five Common Core Issues in Churches by talking about revitalizing your playbook for first engagement steps, getting ahead of your capacity limits and thinking strategically to support health and growth in these areas.    This Episode is Sponsored by Planning Center Planning Center is software designed to help churches help people.

    In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Dr. Hemma R. Lomax speaks with Sam Flynn, co-founder of Josef, about the transformation of legal and compliance functions through technology. They discuss the importance of human-centered design, the role of AI in legal architecture, and the need for trust in AI tools. Sam shares his journey from creating Myki Fines to building self-service legal solutions that bridge the access-to-justice gap. The conversation emphasizes the importance of user experience, governance practices, and the need to rethink traditional professional roles in the legal field.

    SaaS Talkâ„¢ with the Metrics Brothers - Strategies, Insights, & Metrics for B2B SaaS Executive Leaders

    In this extended episode, the Metrics Brothers tackle the "elephant in the room" - the SaaSpocalypse. With nearly $1 trillion in market value wiped out recently, Ray and Dave go beyond the stock market headlines to analyze the structural shifts hitting the industry.The duo breaks down the three primary drivers of the current market "carnage", including the AI Fear of Being Obsolete (FOBO), Regression to the Mean for SaaS stocks and Changing Valuation Methodologies, before diving into the newly released Aviner report, The Future of SaaS: A Fork in the Road. Using Aviner's "Red Pill vs. Blue Pill" metaphor, they debate whether SaaS companies must fundamentally pivot to "agentic" systems or accept maturity and financialize by focusing on profitability.Covered in This Episode:The SaaSpocalypse Explained: Why the stock market is currently a "rugby scrum of information" and why stock price is a measure of future expectations rather than current healthServiceNow as a Bellwether: An analysis of how a "Rule of 56" company can beat expectations and still see a 30% stock drop in a single month.FOBO (Fear of Being Obsolete): How the "revenge of build vs. buy" and the collapsing cost of coding are demoting traditional SaaS apps to mere systems of record.The Aviner Report Breakdown:Part 1: The hard data on slowing revenue growth (cut from 40% to 20%) and the "aberration" of 2019–2021 multiples.Part 2: The binary choice between embracing AI "Systems of Context" or financializing for net income.The "Architect Strategy": Ray's argument for a third path where SaaS companies coexist with AI by providing the governance and orchestration layerBuyer Sentiment vs. Market Narrative: Why 63% of software buyers believe existing vendors will be the beneficiaries of AI, contradicting the current "SaaS is dead" stock market trend.Key Metrics & Concepts MentionedRule of 40 vs. Rule of 60: How the standard for SaaS health is shiftingStock-Based Compensation (SBC): Why excluding this from profitability metrics is no longer passing the "financialization" testThe Three-Layer Taxonomy: Systems of Record, Systems of Engagement, and Systems of ContextMultiple Compression: The shift from 15x revenue multiples back to the historical 5x meanResources MentionedReport: The Future of SaaS: A Fork in the Road by Aviner Growth (Jan 2026).Book: The Reckoning by David Halberstam.Book: Profit Pools by Orit Gadiesh and James L.

    Ever felt the panic when the bell rings and there's still an ocean of class time ahead? Bell-to-bell engagement without burning out isn't just a catchy phrase — it's the lifeline for secondary teachers juggling multiple preps. This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast tackles a problem every teacher eventually faces: you planned what you thought was an airtight lesson… and your students finish early. Now you're staring down the clock, wondering what to do when students finish early (especially when phones aren't allowed).Here's the hard truth: no one trains you for the chaos that hits when pacing goes sideways. Host Khristen Massic names that sinking feeling and shares a real first-year moment — pouring hours into a careers unit, only to watch students wrap it up with half the period still sitting there. Cue the classroom spiral.Most teachers think the solution is “plan tighter.” But the real fix isn't perfect pacing — it's early finisher routines you can repeat every time. Not a hundred activities. Not a brand-new mini-lesson. Five simple, reliable options you can teach once and reuse forever.In this episode, you'll hear strategies like the quality check loop, structured peer checks, and micro-extension challenges — finish-early routines that work in a secondary classroom without extra prep or extra explaining. Bell-to-bell engagement becomes easier when students already know the next step.This is for the multi-prep teacher who's tired of feeling like they “failed” when a lesson ends early. If you want stronger classroom routines, calmer transitions, and less decision fatigue — this episode will help you build a system that protects your energy and supports real work-life balance.If you're ready to stop scrambling and start teaching with a plan for the “leftover minutes,” press play.Go teach bold, not burned out.Too many preps and not enough time?

    Scott Kaufman is a psychologist, coach, professor, keynote speaker, and best-selling author. He is a professor of psychology at Columbia University and director of the Center for Human Potential. He also hosts The Psychology Podcast which has received over 30 million downloads and is widely considered among the top  psychology podcasts in the world. Scott's writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Scientific American, Psychology Today, and Harvard Business Review, and he is the author and editor of 11 books. In his most recent book Rise Above: Overcome a Victim Mindset, Empower Yourself, and Realize Your Full Potential, he explores the limiting beliefs and widespread anxiety that puts people in boxes, lowers expectations, and holds them back. In addition to teaching at Columbia, Scott has also been a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and NYU. Scott received a B.S. in psychology and human computer interaction from Carnegie Mellon, an M. Phil in experimental psychology from the University of Cambridge under a Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Yale University. In this episode we discuss the following: Scott's definition of intelligence: the dynamic interplay of engagement and abilities in the pursuit of goals. When we give people a chance to go deep into an area that they love, over a long period of time, they can develop expertise and brain structures that can override some of our IQ limitations. The thing that surprised Scott most as he researched intelligence was just how predictive IQ is. Scott thought he was going to be on a vendetta against IQ but ended up falling in love with the science of IQ, intelligence, and the brain. Differences in ability are both natural and valuable, and recognizing them—rather than denying them—creates better paths for growth and contribution. Unlocking our potential requires intellectual honesty, patience, and environments that allow passion and skill to reinforce one another over time.

Whether you're wondering if you're "doing it right" with literacy or looking for fresh ideas to bring into your sessions, this conversation is full of insight, real talk, and reminders that connection always comes before data collection.Bullet Points to Discuss: The SLP's unique role in literacyAssessment tools and DIY informal probes you can create today Making literacy fun for students who hate books Multicultural considerations and ethical assessment practices Building holistic services that see the whole childHere's what we learned: SLPs use a therapeutic language lens—targeting morphology, semantics, and syntax, not curriculum standards. Create your own informal probes for vocabulary, directions, inferences, and verbal reasoning. Engagement is everything—use themed books, games, and enthusiasm to hook reluctant readers. Ethical assessment requires case histories and bilingual resources for multilingual learners. Connection over data collection—know your students as whole people, not just IEP goals.Learn more about Tamara Anderson: Website: http://buildingsuccessfullives.com Website: http://andersonmulticulturalbooks.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildingsuccessfullives/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BSLSpeechLanguage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKUwYkbSnH987kX5qxmBkrQ Speech Therapy PD: https://www.speechtherapypd.com/presenters/tamara-andersonTeachers Pay Teachers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/tamara-andersonFreebie: WH Questions: The Three Snow BearsLearn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: What is really happening inside local councils, and why are so few people aware of it?I sit down again with Madeleine to explore how governance is being reshaped through secondary legislation, unelected influence, and large scale local government reorganisation happening with little public awareness.We discuss media distraction, growing centralisation of power, election postponements, and why local democracy matters more than most people realise.This is ultimately a call to action.

    „Hessen wird vor Ort gemacht“, hat kürzlich ein Abgeordneter des hessischen Landtags gesagt. Vor Ort, das heißt: In den hessischen Städten, Gemeinden und Landkreisen. Dort werden am 15. März neue Parlamente gewählt, in einigen Kommunen auch neue Bürgermeister. Entgegen aller Politikverdrossenheit müssen sich die Menschen aufraffen, wählen zu gehen. Und es braucht Menschen, die bereit sind, sich allen Anfeindungen und einer enormen Arbeitsbelastung zum Trotz, zur Wahl zu stellen. Mit einem Plan für die Gestaltung ihrer Kommune, und zugleich mit einem offenen Ohr für die Bedürfnisse der Menschen dort. Was also sollten wir als Wähler wissen über die hessischen Kommunalwahlen 2026? Wie steht es um kommunalpolitisches Engagement in Hessen und wie handlungsfähig sind die finanziell schwer gebeutelten Kommunen überhaupt noch? Darüber spricht Oliver Glaap u.a. mit Prof. Björn Egner, Politikwissenschaftler an der TU Darmstadt, mit Nora Zado vom Demokratiezentrum Hessen an der Uni Marburg und mit Dr. Julia Reiter, Psychologin an der Uni Wien. Podcast-Tipp: SWR Das Wissen Kommunalpolitiker - Demokratie gestalten, Frust und Hass aushalten Die Kommunalpolitik steckt in der Krise: leere Kassen, Gewalt gegen Amtsträger, zeitintensive Tätigkeit. Immer weniger wollen diese Aufgaben übernehmen. Gesetzesänderungen und spezielle Trainings sollen wieder mehr Menschen für die Politik gewinnen. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:43ec4a2de5a8d5b3/

    Sweeping winds of vaporized metals have been found in a massive cloud that dimmed the light of a star for nearly nine months. This discovery, made with the Gemini South telescope in Chile offers a rare glimpse into the chaotic and dynamic processes still shaping planetary systems long after their formation. In this podcast, Dr. Nadia Zakamska describes the discovery of this object, stemming from a mysterious dimming of a star, to the analysis of the gas cloud.   Bios: - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Dr. Nadia Zakamska was born and raised in Russia and received a Masters degree from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. She came to the United States in 2001 to pursue graduate education in Astrophysics in Princeton University. After her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at Stanford University before moving to the Johns Hopkins University for a faculty position in 2011. She is now a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, with a wide range of research interests across many areas of astrophysics.

    There is far more communication happening between us than words alone. In this deeply reflective livestream, I explore how we communicate subconsciously and soul to soul through our eyes, facial features, body language, and energetic presence. We already understand body language on a psychological level, but what if communication runs much deeper than that? I share powerful personal stories from my early spiritual journey, including experiences within spiritual communities that revealed profound truths through eye contact alone. I also discuss how subtle signals in the body, iris, face, and even wrinkles may reflect both physical health and soul-level imprinting. We explore: • Subconscious communication beyond words • Soul radiance through the eyes • Hypnosis and hidden perception • The visible light spectrum and consciousness • Iridology, reflexology, and face reading • Traditional Chinese medicine and energetic mapping • The spiritual meaning of wrinkles • Botox, aging, and authenticity • Reclaiming natural beauty as sacred expression In a world where cosmetic alteration is increasingly normalized, I gently invite you to consider what we may be silencing when we erase the natural signals of the body. What if your lines tell a sacred story? What if your eyes reveal more truth than your words ever could? You are a soul in a body. Your face, your eyes, your presence are not flaws to be corrected. They are communication. They are sacred. If this resonates, please like, comment, and share. Engagement truly helps this channel reach more people as spiritually empowering content is increasingly difficult to find.
