Send us a textRandy Marshall and Hal Habecker discuss the importance of friendship, particularly in the aging years. They emphasize humility, adversity, and empathy as key traits of true friendship. Randy shares an analogy about finding one's life's purpose through the support of five close friends and the realization that life is brief, with an average of 30,000 days. They highlight the role of encouragement and the need for older people to stay active and engaged. Randy's ministry at Watermark Church, focused on intergenerational mentoring, has seen 20 people sign up to mentor younger generations.

Loretta Walker gives some parenting advice!

At a certain point a manager or owner will need to have a difficult conversation with a staff member that ultimately is about accountability. This conversation is often done with a lot of pent up emotion and the stard being applied may or may not have been very well communicated or trained. On top of this we rarely see a structure put in place AND followed that helps guide the process. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about why you need an accountability process, how it should be approached and thought of vs how it is usually conceived, and why it is a useful tool to help both parties succeed in the cafe.   Related episodes:   Why You Need to Back up Your Policies 528 : Growing Yourself and Your Cafe Through Delegation SHIFT BREAK : Setting and meeting Standards in the Coffee Shop 355: Baristas! 6 Essential Qualities to Get Yourself Hired 291 : What to do if Your Baristas Wont Listen to You Reasonable Expectations SHIFT BREAK: Evil Owners and Lazy Baristas     ATTENTION CAFE OWNERS w/ 2+ Years of running your brick and mortar.... - LOOKING FOR A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT, ACCOUNTABILITY, INSIGHT, AND ENCOURAGEMENT?  - The Key Holder Coaching Group master-mind are now taking new applicants for our 4th cohort launching in march!  Click below to fill out your application now!

We all work hard and face challenges in the cafe.

Much of what gets written regarding the reasons behind declining standards in the coffee shop focuses on the leadership and what they can do to facilitate success. Here at KTTS there are dozens of interviews and solo episodes dedicated to this very thing. But what does not get so much air time is the reality that if we are to see a rise in standards of leadership, we must also call for a rise in personal professional work standards from staff. Culpability for the miserable state of coffee service goes both ways and often it is the leaders avoidance of dealing with toxic employees that keeps them employed thus allowing their negative influence to sabotage the success of the business, the team, and, in fact, the whole industry whose reputation is built from the interactions consumers have with "professionals". Today on this solo episode we will be exploring the reasons why so many owners refuse to deal with toxic employees in the cafe in favor of a misguided notion of giving perpetual grace that is more enablement than kind gesture.  We will also talk about what is needed if we are to make progress in the business of coffee shops. High standards are not just for owners and managers, they are for all and it is time we started creating environments that reward and recognize great work, while also not tolerating corrosive behavior and attitudes, be ti from leaders or employees.  Related episodes: 331 : The 7 Deadly Sins of my Career 031 : Essential Advice for New Baristas : Tips to help you successfully navigate and thrive in your new coffee career 194 : Encore Episode!

Every gardener has a garden. Common sense? If you plan to take up gardening, you must have a garden. Another necessary assumption is that it's vital to know something about gardening if your goal is to have one. It is not common sense to engage in the respected work of gardening with no clue about what it takes to be successful at it. When I think about gardening, I always think of my grandfather. He was a master gardener. Though I did not enjoy working in his garden during the hot summer days of my childhood, I never questioned his expertise. The proof was always before my eyes.

The discussion delved into the evolving role of CS leaders, highlighting the shift from reactive to proactive strategies, the increasing importance of data and technology, and the essential qualities needed for effective leadership in this field. Garg shared her insights on how companies can navigate current market challenges and the critical role of AI in enhancing customer interactions and business efficiency.The Evolving Role of Customer SuccessSwati Garg emphasized that the role of customer success leaders has significantly evolved over the past few years. Previously, CS was primarily focused on customer satisfaction and retention. Today, it is increasingly recognized as a revenue driver. This shift necessitates a more proactive approach to customer engagement and the strategic use of data to enhance customer value. Garg noted that modern CS leaders must be adept at tying customer success metrics to revenue, thereby demonstrating the value of CS initiatives to internal stakeholders.Essential Qualities of CS LeadersGarg identified five critical qualities that companies look for in CS leaders:Revenue Focus: Leaders need to understand how to connect CS activities with revenue generation.Business Acumen: A deep understanding of the business, including product features and market needs, is essential.Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with customer personas and industry-specific challenges helps in tailoring customer interactions.Communication Skills: Effective internal and external communication is crucial for aligning team efforts and understanding customer feedback.Data-Driven Decision Making: The ability to leverage data and AI tools to inform strategy and improve customer outcomes.The Role of Technology and AISwati Garg discussed the critical role of technology, particularly AI, in customer success. She highlighted that while there are numerous CS platforms available, the key is to select tools that align with the company's specific needs. AI can enhance personalization, provide predictive analytics, and streamline operations. However, Garg cautioned that not all companies may need to adopt AI immediately; the focus should be on finding tools that truly add value to their operations.Current Market Trends and ChallengesThe discussion also covered current trends in the CS job market. Garg noted a high demand for CS leaders who can manage complex customer relationships and possess strong industry knowledge. Despite an abundance of candidates, companies are becoming more selective, seeking individuals with specific skill sets and cultural fit.

In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I dive into the essential personality characteristics of effective play therapists. Drawing from Garry Landreth's book "Innovations in Play Therapy," I discuss the first of Virginia Axline's eight basic principles that guide interactions with children in play therapy. The first principle: the therapist's genuine interest in the child and the development of a warm, caring relationship. We discuss the importance of emotional maturity, stability, and skill in play therapists, as well as the ongoing process of self-discovery and acceptance. Finally, I highlight the challenging nature of child-centered play therapy and the significance of "being there" for the child - not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically. This episode serves as a reminder that to effectively help children, we must first understand and work on ourselves. Episode Reference: Landreth, G. L. (Ed.). (2001).

“Say yes! Don't let the fears get in the way.” —Terry Yoffe   For many, reaching a certain age can bring a sense of complacency - a desire to settle into familiar routines rather than push outside one's comfort zone.

Episode Type: Listen to Learn Welcome to a listen-to-learn episode of the Share Life podcast. I'm speaking with a former university professor and Canadian Christian, David Koyzis. David has been on the Share Life podcast to discuss his book Political Visions & Illusions and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In this episode, we're talking about the values required for someone to hold political leadership. David articulated 7 guidelines he shared after the Jan 6 hearings, and has resurfaced in a recent blog post about America's current societal crisis, in light of Trump's 34 felony convictions and adamant Republican support. In this conversation, we discuss the 7 guidelines and the history that brought us here. According to David Koyzis, a would be office-holder... must respect the rule of law above his or her own ambitions must be loyal to the country's constitution and abide by its provisions, even to his or her own disadvantage; must not abuse the office to advance personal financial or other interests; must honourably concede to his or her successor when defeated in an election; must refrain from divisive rhetoric and undertake, where possible, to unite the nation around a common task of doing public justice; must unwaveringly adhere to the truth and refrain from self-justification to cover missteps; must be generous and charitable to opponents and supporters alike.

By Robin Webber in Las Vegas, NV, Redlands, CA, San Diego, CA - November 18, 2023 - As we approach Thanksgiving Day in America what lessons may we glean from the pilgrims of New England, the biblical patriarchs of old, and the Ultimate Pilgrim-Jesus Christ? As we approach each day of life it is vital to "think" before we are able to "thank" as we come to learn that "seeking the Kingdom" is not only a destination, but a way of traveling every day.

Unfortunately that cannot happen in all circumstances and shop that needs to delegate management is forced to seek outside help.  On today's Shift Break i wanted to cover a couple tips for cafes to consider when seeking to hire a manager form outside the shop.

It is easy to assume that if you have found the right person for the manager role then they will not need very much investment or guidance from you to get the hang of things. After all, they are amazing and you trust their "can do" attitude will be enough to help them succeed.  Obviously this is not the case, but that doesn't stop this misconception from being repeated over and over again in cafes around the world.  Truth is that no matter who you hire you will need to have a structured plan for how they will be onboarded, trained, and invested into over a significant period of time so they are not only capable, but confident and trustworthy in their work as a true leader, not just a barista with a few extra admin tasks.  On today's show we will be going over some needed mindsets, approaches and methods for training up a manager that may challenge the way you have been doing things to this point, but will definitely set everyone up for success.  We cover: Who is a good manager and what do they do? The misconception of time Your role in the relationship Real investment and specificity  Developing beyond knowledge transfer Committing to long term development Co-creation and staying touch with the real needs of the shop   Related episodes: 314 : The 6 Essential Qualities of Coffee Shop Leaders 109 : Leadership Abandonment Syndrome : Lack of development in senior staff and what to do about it 179 : What you MUST Know About Employee Culture w/ Stan Slap 261 : The Basics of Managing Managers 378: 5 Areas to Develop in Managers   Interested in leveling up your coffee shop or setting up 1:1 coaching?

Many leaders think that leadership flows in one direct: from top to bottom. But if leadership is influence––nothing more, nothing less––then leadership can flow from bottom to top and from side to side. That's called leading across. Leading across means leading your colleagues, your peers––people you don't have positional leadership over. In today's lesson, John Maxwell is going to teach the 7 phases of the leadership loop, which every leader who wishes to lead across must embrace. After John's lesson, Mark Cole will be joined by Chris Goede to discuss what they've learned as they've embraced these principles to lead across within the Maxwell Leadership organization. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Leadership Loop Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.
