In our personal and professional lives, some conversations are harder than others. To navigate the difficulties of discussing what matters most, Professor Irv Grousbeck says we need the right balance of conviction and compassion.At both Stanford Graduate School of Business and Stanford School of Medicine, Grousbeck teaches courses on managing difficult conversations. He equips students with skills to be direct while being respectful, to be strong while being warm, and to resist any urge to beat around the bush. "Directness, with respect, is essential,” he says. "So many of our students feel that if you're direct with someone, somehow that's harsh. The art of good conversation management, I think, does involve directness and respect at the same time."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Grousbeck and host Matt Abrahams explore practical tips and strategies for navigating difficult conversations, from the importance of listening and pausing, to the value of rehearsing your words in advance.Episode Reference Links:Stanford Profile: H.

Winston Peters is the Program Director of the Entrepreneurs@MC program and the new Entrepreneur Center at Manhattan College in New York. He is a co-founder of WÜLF University and a Principal at MyÜberLife Consulting Group. Winston explains how he purposefully connects and builds trust with his Gen Z students starting with the first homework assignment. He teaches students the skills they want and need for entering the labor market including those not on the syllabus. Winston shares what drives and concerns Gen Z's leaving college. He suggests how we can build bridges across generations and help each other find fulfillment at work.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [03:15] Winston quickly bores of building high-rises using his civil engineering degree and delves into the New York cultural scene.   [03:54] Winston applies his skills differently to analyze and solve problems, wanting to make an impact.   [05:00] Winston found many creatives don't fully understand the mechanics of their business.   [07:00] An engineer's approach separates the fluff and breaks things down.   [08:08] WULF university was launched to provide critical learning that students don't typically get in the classroom to help them in their careers.   [08:58] Empathy skills are needed to complement students' competitive academic orientation so they can collaborate well in the workplace.   [10:45] How does Winston shift students' mindsets?   [11:22] Looking through different lenses to develop understanding and build trust.   [12:51] How Winston shows up to develop trust, engage on a personal level, and make education collaborative.   [15:24] The importance of checking in and understanding how each student is (really) doing.   [17:02] Setting the tone at the beginning by understanding where people's energy is.   [17:54] Human beings are judging machines based on pattern matching, and authenticity can be modeled to build a safe space.   [19:15] Winston leads by example.   [20:13] Winston's compelling first homework assignment.   [20:56] Asking people how they learn develops understanding and context.   [23:12] The four +1 types of entrepreneurship students Winston teaches at Manhattan College.   [25:08] The importance of being anti-fragile and having multiple revenue streams.   [26:44] Some want corporate jobs to learn about corporate structure (for their own future venture).   [27:27] Two areas Gen Z's believe are going to be key to their future success: understanding financials and creating contacts.   [29:25] Leaving college in debt, many students only explore the highest-paying jobs, not what will be fulfilling or give them security.   [31:05] Many Gen Z's are entering the workforce taking jobs to survive.   [32:00] Why Winston doesn't give extra credits in his class.   [33:54] The fundamental teaching orientation for Winston is human-centric—how to solve humans' problems and sell to them.   [35:37] Winston is excited to work with students on a competition for a Blue Economy project—to convert water into reusable electricity.   [36:44] How Winston effectively enforces his “no phones in class” policy!   [38:24] Winston asks what students want to learn beyond the syllabus for their preferred career.   [40:02] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: If you are older, have more empathy for Gen Z: the world they are growing up in is very different; they are under a lot of pressure. Ask Gen Zers deeper questions about fulfillment. There's no job security, so how can you help each other find fulfillment and what does that look like?     RESOURCES   Winston Peters on LinkedIn Twitter @WinceP_ofMUL Instagram @Professor.p_ofMUL Entrepreneurs@MC at Manhattan College News about the Entrepreneur Center at Manhattan College MyÜberLife Consulting Group's website     QUOTES (edited)   “The basic premise of being an engineer is being a problem solver and able to break things down into empirical forms.”   “There's no difference between hard and soft skills. Soft skills are just more human skills that aren't taught in the classroom that everyone needs.”   “In your professional career, you will most likely be collaborating with people. And so the sooner you learn the skills of collaboration the better off you'll be, “How can we win together? Instead of how can I beat you?''”   “Trust is the most important thing. I don't care how smart you are, but if you don't have the trust of a young person, good luck trying to convince them that what you're saying is true.”   “Gen Zers want to be more entrepreneurial. They're looking for financial freedom and financial stability, as well as fulfillment.”   “I have a three-strike no-phone policy in my classroom. If by the third strike, I see someone with their phone, I don't take away that person's phone, I take away everyone else's phone….Now everyone's working as a team. Everyone is accountable.”  

She's only been on the job for a few short weeks, but Belinda Ortiz Kirkegard is already drafting an aggressive game plan to assist entrepreneurs and small business owners. In this episode, former OBJ Editor Cindy Barth connects with Kirkegard, who shares her past experience and passion for this role.

We will donate to a United Way approved association of their choice for $25. There's an opportunity for a greater donation. Then we also are currently offering between one and three hours of a free assessment, depending on which pillar of opportunity you're looking for, whether it's applications, infrastructure security. We are offering our time and services just to kind of give people a frame of mind whether it's about an insecure incident response plan. Whether it's about an application that they need help with, we're willing to offer that time. James' Advice I had a nice biblical quote that I can't recite from from scratch at this point in time. But it basically alluded to never be complacent when it comes to your personal professional work. There is what you do every day at work and then there's everything you do outside of work. Just don't be complacent. Always be pushing yourself, always drive yourself. But be patient because being impatient can also hinder your drive

They don’t teach you how to start a company, they teach you to probably work for someone else.” - Haley Zapolski Resources Mentioned:  https://www.ec.co/# (Nashville Entrepreneur Center) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Connect with Haley on https://www.linkedin.com/in/haley-zapolski-zap%E2%9A%A1-a3a146119/ (Linkedin), send her an email at hailey.zapolski@ec.co  Connect with Excelsior GP: https://www.excelsiorgp.com/ (Excelsior GP Website) https://www.linkedin.com/company/excelsior-capital-gp/ (LinkedIn) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmreyaEmNbgq-6t86UtERSw (YouTube) Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-c-adams/ (LinkedIn) LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND LEAVE US  A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or whatever platform you listen on.

She has become successful by implementing spiritual principles into her ventures, and it is her passion to pass her knowledge on to others.  May is the author of the best-selling books The Path to Wealth and The Gratitude Formula She is also the host of the Abundance Inc Radio Show. In today’s conversation with us, May reveals the daily practice that she has used to create extraordinary success in her businesses, health and relationships. We explore the 7 simple, powerful steps to her daily practice, why it works, how it works, and how to use it to achieve your life and business goals. In the process, you will be introduced to May’s Chief Spiritual Officer and will learn how to take your intuition off mute, overcome the fraud factor, and raise your beliefs to match your goals, so that nothing you can conceive and believe is impossible for you to accomplish.    Key Takeaways Success is not a secret, it’s a system. If you follow the system you can be successful. Success is being whole and complete with everything you desire and require in every area of your life. There is wisdom in the universe that’s all around us and when we figure out how to prepare ourselves to enable it to be more obvious and show up more often, it will direct our path and guide us to success. What if you celebrated your successes before they happened? It is very important to surround yourself with at least one person who is a champion for you. Whatever you think and speak is a declaration to this power in the Universe to manifest for you. Our choice of words is extremely important. Choosing words to describe what you want outcomes to be is probably the most important part of this practice. When you’re choosing to be grateful, you’re choosing to be magnetic. Gratitude is a choice, it’s not a feeling.
