In this episode, I dive into Doctrine and Covenants 88, an amazing revelation about light, glory, and the peace Christ offers us, even when life feels hard. I share how this section came in the middle of challenges for the early Saints and how it teaches us to seek God's will, not just our own. We'll talk about what it means to be sanctified, why consolation is just as much a gift as joy, and how the story of the brother of Jared shows the importance of doing our part before asking for miracles. Along the way, I share personal experiences, tender mercies, and lessons the Lord has been teaching me about trust, preparation, and finding light in dark places.

He presents a clear and structured framework that includes strategic planning, streamlined sales processes, targeted training, coaching, measurable performance metrics, and consistent team behaviours — all designed to boost sales team performance. Key Takeaways: Embracing simplicity in sales strategies and processes helps avoid overwhelm and enhances overall team productivity.

Heavenly Father wants me to learn. Our home can be holy like the temple. As you read Doctrine and Covenants 88:119 to your children, they could make a temple spire with their arms every time they hear the word “house.” Explain that Heavenly Father wanted Joseph Smith and the Saints to build a temple, or a “house of God.” You could ask your children to choose seven words that describe their home. Then help them find, in Doctrine and Covenants 88:119⁠, the seven words the Lord uses to describe His house. How can we make our home a “house of God”?

Many healthcare organizations nationwide have piloted various artificial intelligence tools to streamline workflows, reduce administrative burden among clinicians, and more. However, there isn't a set of guidelines or principles for healthcare organizations to use when deploying these tools. This is something that the Coalition for Health AI and the Joint Commission have partnered to create. This week, we hear the conclusion of host J. Carlisle Larsen's conversation with CHAI CEO Brian Anderson, M.D., about his organization's work with the Joint Commission to establish best practices for the use of AI tools within healthcare. You can listen to the first half of the conversation here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textEvery so often, the Lord gives us a small glimpse of His boundless “majesty and power” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:47) through sweeping revelations to His prophets. Doctrine and Covenants 88 is such a revelation—one about light and glory and kingdoms that can make our earthly cares seem insignificant by comparison. Even if we can't grasp all of what the Lord is teaching us, we can at least sense that there's far more to eternity than what we now comprehend. Of course, the Lord didn't speak of these grand mysteries to intimidate us or make us feel small. In fact, He promised, “The day shall come when you shall comprehend even God” (verse 49; italics added). Perhaps it was to that lofty end that the Lord urged His Saints in Kirtland to form the School of the Prophets. “Organize yourselves,” He said. “Prepare every needful thing; and establish … a house of God” (verse 119). For it is within God's holy house—and in our homes—that He can, more than anywhere else, lift our vision beyond the mortal world, “unveil his face unto [us],” and prepare us to “abide a celestial glory” (verses 68, 22).Support the show!Become a "Patron Saint"!www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)Support the show

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 88]“Establish … a House of God”August 11 – August 17, 2025WEEK 33 SUMMARY=================Doctrine and Covenants 88, often referred to as the "Olive Leaf," was given to Joseph Smith in December 1832 and January 1833. It came during a time when the early Church was facing challenges and needed guidance on how to establish Zion and prepare for the Second Coming of Christ. The revelation provides profound insights into the nature of light and truth, the importance of education, and the establishment of the School of the Prophets. It emphasizes the need for spiritual and temporal preparation, encouraging members to seek learning by study and faith, and to live in harmony with the laws of God to receive His blessings.SPARK 1: A HOUSE OF CREATIVE ORDER================OBJECT LESSON: “He Hath Given a Law Unto All Things”: Creeping CaterpillarsSPARK 2: FIELD OF DREAMS===================================OBJECT LESSON: “Draw Near Unto Me”: Floating Hand SketchbookSPARK 3: THAT GOOD PART=============================OBJECT LESSON: “Entangle Not Yourselves in Sin”: Removable Ribbon TrickCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:02:45 QUICK GLANCE00:06:15 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:15:57 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:19:54 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:21:40 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:33:23 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:37:36 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:40:01 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:48:04 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:52:48 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:54:48 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

August 11-17I used to look forward to the tail end of our Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts in Missouri because my Dad, a brilliant and world-renowned geologist and geological engineer, and Darrell Ownby, part of our family and a world-class ceramic engineer, and Nord Gale, a celebrated, favorite professor and brilliant microbiologist and Harold Romero, also a brilliant physicist, would stay at the table and discuss deep gospel questions. Many times, the conversations would go way over my head, as they talked about creation, celestial worlds, spirit elements, atomic elements and the qualities of light—but I tried to follow along as best I could. Hey, I was only 12 years old! But this was the beginning of my yearning, thirst and hunger for knowledge. I could not get enough of it. These discussions around the table were amazing. And then I was introduced to Section 88 of the Doctrine and Covenants. I was blown away. This deep water is the subject of our podcast.

The transition from closer to coach is where most new sales leaders struggle. You've put in the work, made the calls, and closed the deals. Your numbers speak for themselves. You were the rainmaker. The top dog. The one everyone pointed to as the example of what a salesperson should be. Finally, you've earned the promotion you've been chasing: Sales Manager. The very habits that made you successful as a top-performing rep (moving fast, working independently, and ignoring administrative tasks) can work against you in a leadership role. Your win column is no longer personal; it's team-wide. As Kyle Jager, founder of Vendi Consulting, states in this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, “If you're transitioning from a sales or individual contributor into a leadership role, you probably are great at sales. But now you have to become a great leader. And that takes time. It takes practice, but it also takes some learning.” Why Most New Sales Leaders Fail Most new sales leaders crash and burn within their first 18 months. Not because they can't sell, but because no one ever taught them how to lead. They walk into the role thinking it's just sales, but with a nicer title and better commission overrides. So they default to what they know: chasing deals, staying in the weeds, and trying to be the hero. But leadership isn't about closing deals. It's about developing people. And if you don't make that shift fast, your team won't follow—and your results will suffer. Stop Being the Hero: Your New Job Description As an individual contributor, you were the hero of your own story. Pipeline looking thin? Hit the phones harder. Deal stalling? Jump in and save it. Commission check light? Work more hours. As a sales leader, your job is to make others the heroes of their stories.  That means: Your success is now measured by your team's results, not yours. You're only as good as the people you lead. You have to develop people, not just manage numbers. Your weakest performer deserves as much attention as your top gun. You become a multiplier. One great salesperson affects one quota. One great sales leader affects ten quotas, twenty quotas, or more. The Five Non-Negotiable Disciplines of Being a New Sales Leader 1. Master the Art of Sales Coaching Coaching is not cheerleading. It's not motivational speeches or rah-rah meetings. Real sales coaching is the systematic development of specific skills through observation, feedback, and practice. You cannot coach what you cannot see. Get in the field with your people. Listen to their calls. Watch their presentations. Most new sales leaders avoid this because it's time-intensive and uncomfortable.  Establish a consistent coaching cadence. Hold weekly one-on-ones to dig into deals, metrics, and skills.  Remember: your goal is not to create mini-versions of yourself. As a new sales leader, your goal is to help each salesperson become the best version of themselves. 2. Build and Maintain Pipeline Discipline As an individual contributor, you managed one pipeline. Now you're responsible for multiple pipelines, and pipeline discipline becomes exponentially more critical. Implement non-negotiable pipeline reviews. Weekly pipeline meetings should be sacred time where every opportunity gets analyzed. Teach your team to be ruthless about pipeline hygiene. Dead deals must be purged. Stalled opportunities need action plans or elimination. Every deal in the pipeline should have a clear next step, decision-maker involvement, and a realistic close timeline. Most importantly, never let your team's pipeline run thin. When pipeline gets weak, panic sets in, and desperate salespeople make desperate decisions.  3. Become a Hiring Machine Your success depends entirely on having the right people on your team. This means you must become obsessed with recruiting and hiring A-players. Stop hiring people you like and start hiring people who can sell.

“… the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.” G. K. Chesterton   This week we feature a rebroadcast of a 2021 talk from our lower school head, Colin Gleason. Mr. Gleason addressed the topic of discipline using decades of experience in the Valley, converting the lessons he shares with his homeroom teachers into ideas for parents at home. Ultimately, his guidance is all about bringing a long-term vision and great love into our attitudes of discipline, willing the good for our boys with all earnest humility. Whether you're thinking the kitchen or the classroom, Mr. Gleason encourages us to foster a culture of respectful dominion.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Seven Old-School Rules That Beat Modern BS August 4, 2025 | Episode 5151 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott's fired up and ready to shake up your Monday with seven old-school rules that'll shift your perspective on happiness and success. No tactical nonsense today – just pure mindset gold that'll get you moving forward instead of staying stuck in preparation mode. From ditching the "getting ready" excuses to learning when to give monkeys the boot, Scott delivers his signature blend of wisdom and wit. Plus, he shares why patting yourself on the butt might be the motivation hack you never knew you needed. Featured Story Scott kicks off with a weekend motorcycle mishap that turned into a 99-degree disaster in Florida heat. What started as a wild hair idea to ride 40 miles in 112-degree heat index became a lesson in environmental awareness and listening to your wife's wisdom. The story perfectly sets up his main message: sometimes we need to slow down when things get bumpy, but never stop moving forward. It's classic Scott – turning a sweaty mistake into motivation gold. Important Points Stop "fixing to get ready" and take action on what matters to you right now, because if it was truly important, you'd find a way to do it anyway. Ask for help from real people who've walked your path before, not just AI that gives you affirmation bias disguised as brilliant advice. Practice daily PYOTB (Pat Yourself On The Back) because you're your own best cheerleader, and nobody can pump you up better than you can. Memorable Quotes "Stop fixing to get ready. If you want something, there is no reason to put it off." "Don't give monkeys piggyback rides. Monkeys can walk. Monkeys can fly." "You're your own best cheerleader. There is nobody on this planet who can pump you up more than you can." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify one thing you've been "fixing to get ready" for and take the first action step today, no matter how small. Find someone who's already accomplished what you want and ask them for specific advice instead of relying on AI or guessing. Establish your own daily PYOTB routine by literally patting yourself on the back or butt and saying "I done good" to anchor positive momentum.

This isn't a story about shortcuts. Brian's big break didn't come from an investor pitch; it was earned through years of hard work in a coffee shop. When his boss and future partner faced a crisis, Brian's loyalty and commitment proved more valuable than any business plan. He was offered a co-founder position not because of what he had or because of his entrepreneurship experience, but because of who he is - someone with high integrity and capable of bringing out the best in others when it matters most.That same principle is now the backbone of his restaurant, Bird Bird Biscuits, and its incredible company culture. In this episode, Ryan Atkinson and Brian dive deep into what it takes to build a team that genuinely cares. Brian shares his business leadership philosophy of "tending the garden"—nurturing his people while actively pruning bad habits—and gives a masterclass on creating a positive work environment that reduces turnover and drives success. Tune in for an honest conversation about servant leadership and how to build a business where your team is proud to show up.Takeaways:- Enter markets that are not saturated. Finding an underserved niche, like biscuit sandwiches in a taco-dominated city, provides a significant competitive advantage.- Live or die by focus and simplicity." Instead of offering a wide range of products, concentrate on perfecting one thing to build a strong reputation.- The most powerful marketing is a product and experience so good that customers become your biggest advocates through word-of-mouth.- Company culture starts at the top. Leaders must personally live the values they preach, as their actions set the true standard for the entire team.- View your culture as a garden that needs constant attention. You must actively nurture the good elements and "prune" the negative influences to keep it healthy.- Establish core values that are action-oriented (e.g., "Blow people's minds") rather than passive, single words, as this makes them more practical to implement daily.- The first and most important step in becoming a better leader is to work on yourself. Tend to your own "garden" of personal faults and opportunities for growth.- Trust is forged in adversity. Proving your loyalty and reliability during a crisis can build the foundation for a strong and lasting business partnership.- Don't rely on your own opinions. Create a system to test everything—from products to processes—and let customer feedback and data guide your decisions.- Be prepared to pivot. The forced change to a service-window model during COVID unexpectedly maximized their kitchen's potential and boosted revenue.- Integrity can be more valuable than capital. You can earn opportunities, like a business partnership with no buy-in, through demonstrated hard work and character.- Approach leadership with the philosophy that "we're all just walking each other home." Seeing your team and customers as fellow travelers on a shared journey fosters empathy and unity.Tags:  Business Growth, Entrepreneurship, Business Leadership, Company Culture, Data Driven Resources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/46F5nxJ Connect with Brian: https://www.instagram.com/birdbirdbiscuit/?hl=en

Revelation Dates: December 27, 1832 – January 3, 1833 Revelation Place: Kirtland, Ohio Section 88 - Historical Background: Just 2 days after receiving section 87, containing the prophecies of war and terrible destruction, the Lord sends this new revelation (or series of revelations) containing words of peace. Joseph refers this revelation as an olive leaf. About a year earlier, in section 71, Joseph and Sidney were told to expound the mysteries of the scriptures. Now, in this revelation, Joseph and 10 other elders gathered in the Whitney store in Kirtland, and were instructed to organize a school of the prophets and also a house of God. Recap, verses 1-126 received December 27-28, 1832: The Lord is pleased with these brethren and promises them the Second Comforter. All things are governed by the light of Christ. Men's obedience to Christ will determine which kingdom of glory they will inherit. Death is part of the merciful plan of God, so each spirit can be glorified to its proper and appropriate level, and then quicken the body accordingly in a resurrected state, to abide in their particular kingdom of glory. The heavens themselves reflect the majesty of God. Stay close to God and draw near to Him, praying for direction on a continuous basis. Sanctify yourselves. The Lord will hasten His work in His own time. The Lord commands the saints to assemble, sanctify themselves and teach one another. Various teaching subjects are given to prepare them for the mission He has for them. Signs of the last days are given, along with a commandment to preach and warn others. When Christ returns, the valiant saints will be caught up to meet him, along with the righteous who have died previously. Subsequent angels will then sound their trumps as various events occur until the Judgement day. Each thousand years of mortality will be viewed correspondently, revealing all the acts of mankind. Ultimately, Satan will be bound and expelled. The saints are to seek learning, organize themselves and establish a school of the prophets and establish a house of God. Needful qualities of member's righteousness are listed. Recap, verses 127-141 received January 3, 1833: The organization of the school of the prophets is given. Not all should talk at once, but a teacher should be appointed and order kept. All who attend must be worthy saints. They are to commence in prayer for the Spirit so the school may become a sanctuary and then the sacrament is to be administered.

After years of helping professionals optimize their workflows, I've discovered that most people approach digital organization completely wrong. Many think the solution is to delete everything and start over—but that's like throwing away years of valuable knowledge. Here's the strategic approach that works:→ Create a staging system before reorganizing→ Build sustainable architecture, not perfect folders→ Process gradually while maintaining functionality→ Establish daily maintenance habitsThe result? You don't just find what you're looking for—you discover related insights that drive innovation and efficiency.When your digital notes are properly organized, you experience what I call "digital serendipity"—finding valuable information you'd forgotten you even had.What's your biggest digital organization challenge?

In this edition of The Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata revisits a powerful conversation from the archives with Rebecca Robins, Global Chief Learning and Culture Officer at global branding agency Interbrand. This episode explores how to nurture and empower the next generation of leaders. The central focus is Interbrand's innovative "Horizon Board"—a shadow board of aspiring talent under 30 who work alongside the executive team. Rebecca explains how this initiative provides invaluable experience and mentorship for rising stars while injecting fresh perspectives into top-level decision-making. The discussion examines the critical shift from dismissing "soft skills" to championing empathy, curiosity, and collaboration as essential leadership competencies. Andy and Rebecca also cover the practical mechanics of creating a successful two-way mentoring program, fostering vulnerability between senior and junior talent, and embedding a culture where bold ideas can thrive without causing disruptive conflict. This episode is a masterclass in building a truly connected, cross-generational leadership pipeline that future-proofs the entire organisation. Key Takeaways Soft Skills Are the Hard Skills: Skills like empathy, generosity, and curiosity are not optional extras; they are the fundamental drivers of high-performing, collaborative teams and are more critical than ever in a hybrid world. Establish a Next-Generation Board: Creating a formal platform like a "Horizon Board" gives young talent direct access to leadership, providing them with experience while ensuring senior executives stay connected to new, vital perspectives. Mentoring Must Be a Two-Way Street: Effective mentoring is a value exchange. Senior leaders have as much to learn from the insights of junior talent as the other way around, creating a richer, more dynamic relationship.  SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Connect with Andy Lopata: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | X/Twitter | YouTube Connect with Rebecca Robins: LinkedIn The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring Episode 132 Featuring Rebecca Robins  

Andrew Overmiller – Psalm 90:1-7

Send us fan responses! The baptismal certificate might be the most overlooked yet powerful document when establishing your legal identity and navigating commercial systems. Don Kilam breaks down how this spiritual record serves a crucial legal purpose that few understand.Right from his penthouse, Kilam explains that baptismal certificates allow you to enter the system as a foreigner when attached to a W8BEN form. Without this ecclesiastical recognition, you're considered a "rogue vessel" lacking jurisdiction – essentially a pirate ship adrift in legal waters. The certificate formally recognizes your vessel (legal identity) within ecclesiastical courts, granting authority that can override state jurisdictions.Understanding the distinction between maritime and admiralty law reveals how consent is gained through contracts. Your Christian name on the birth certificate differs from your spiritual name on the baptismal certificate – a critical separation that establishes different identities for different jurisdictions. Kilam shares how wealthy families like the Kardashians leverage these concepts through private ministry trusts (508C1A) that appear as nonprofits but operate with significant advantages.For those with foreign nationality, this framework provides strategic options. As Kalam advises during the Q&A session with a Haitian woman, maintaining foreign status while in America offers unique benefits. "Every church is a tribe, every church is a government," he explains, highlighting how ecclesiastical structures create alternative jurisdictions outside conventional state control.

You're stuck in endless meetings, chasing people for updates, and feeling like a babysitter instead of a leader. This reactive approach burns you out while your team underperforms.We've worked with hundreds of agribusiness leaders who've transformed their teams using proven accountability frameworks. Today, we're sharing the exact system that creates a culture where people hold themselves accountable. This frees you to focus on strategy while your team delivers consistent results.Stop These Accountability Mistakes: ● Trying to hold people accountable without clear written expectations ● Having accountability conversations without documented agreements ● Waiting until problems occur to address performance issues ● Making accountability conversations feel like personal attacks ● Relying on reactive management instead of systematic processesStart These High-Performance Behaviors: ● Document clear expectations and get written agreements before starting work ● Establish regular accountability cadences with consistent frameworks ● Create systems where team members hold each other accountable ● Use "we" language that invites people back to agreements vs calling them out ● Build accountability into your core values and company cultureFOR: ✓ Agribusiness leaders tired of chasing their team for basic deliverables ✓ CEOs wanting to scale without becoming the bottleneck for every decision ✓ Managers struggling with team members who make excuses instead of delivering results ✓ Directors building high-performance teams that operate with minimal oversight ✓ Business owners ready to create systematic accountability instead of reactive firefightingEither build accountability systems now or stay trapped in the exhausting cycle of micromanaging underperforming teams forever.This Week's Challenge: Document one clear expectation with your team, get their written agreement, and establish a weekly check-in cadence to review progress together.If you're ready to stop micromanaging and want to build a self-accountable team, email mark@themomentumcompany.com to learn about the Thriving Leader Program.

  ROTG137 Politically Motivated Attacks Revisited   Nonprofit advocates face a complex environment in 2025 where political disagreements routinely escalate into targeted attacks—ranging from carefully crafted misinformation to more extreme tactics like organizational funding cuts, subpoenas, and personal targeting. This episode explores the emerging challenges advocates encounter, offering insights into recognizing, preparing for, and navigating these increasingly sophisticated forms of political pushback.   Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Hacker Tim Mooney Quyen Tu     Evolution of Political Attacks This isn't the first time we've covered this topic—we discussed it back in earlier episodes when attacks primarily came from private organizations and non-governmental entities like Project Veritas. What's changed is the increasing use of official government investigative authority against tax-exempt organizations, including:   Current Landscape: Government Investigations & Bad Faith Actors Executive Orders from the Trump administration Universities under attack and scrutiny Government agencies: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) State Attorneys General investigations (particularly from those seeking higher office) New techniques utilizing official power with minimal basis for investigation The key challenge: These officials have great investigative power and can exercise it with the slimmest basis, using bad faith political attacks against organizations doing good community work they simply disagree with.   Examples of Great Advocacy in Response Despite these attacks, many nonprofits have stepped up their advocacy:   Challenging the administration in court Almost every executive order has faced legal challenges Many nonprofits have teamed up for court cases Some challenges have been successful, others ongoing   Calling out attacks for what they are Naming attacks as politically motivated and in bad faith Pointing out reliance on dubious information This approach has met with significant success   Solidarity in numbers Some law firms and universities initially settled with the administration Others joined together and refused to settle or capitulate Finding strength in solidarity and continuing their missions   Funder support stepped up Funders creating new short-term grants Establishing legal defense funds Providing pro bono services for nonprofits Some funders publicly increased funding; others acted quietly but effectively   Being Prepared: Your Best Defense   Legal and Administrative Compliance The best defense is ensuring full compliance with all applicable laws so you can advocate with confidence.   Advocacy Check-Up Tool: Our nonprofit self-assessment (13-page document available free on our website) Identifies opportunities to enhance compliance with tax, lobbying, election, and other laws Provides starting place to assess existing systems Helps prepare for attorney meetings with specific checklist items   Key compliance areas to review: How your 501(c)(3) remains nonpartisan Staying within lobbying limits for C3 public charities Ensuring all reporting is current (IRS, FEC, local ethics commissions) Checking insurance coverage (directors & officers, liability) Board setup and bylaw compliance Document management: Store foundational documents electronically in the cloud   Maintain excellent records: Clear, accurate documentation to easily prove legal compliance when needed   Organizational Readiness and Communications Planning Beyond legal compliance, you need comprehensive preparation: Identify vulnerabilities: What might attackers say about your work? Communications strategy: Have a plan for public response Election season policy: Clear guidelines for staff activities Document retention policy: Know what to keep and for how long Staff training: Especially public-facing staff and volunteers Train them to recognize unusual questions outside normal scope Establish "odd question point person" to defer to Response protocols: Know what to do if attacked Legal counsel: Have a lawyer you can call or know who to contact   Most Important: Don't Self-Censor Remember these are bad faith attacks. You aren't doing anything wrong. They're trying to: Separate you from your funders Separate you from your supporters Make you stop your advocacy work Avoid engaging on the substance of your work   Don't fall for the trap of stopping your advocacy just because they claim you're doing something wrong. If your compliance is solid and you have a communications plan, you've likely done nothing wrong—keep doing your important work.     If You Are Attacked: Response Strategy   Initial Response: Don't Overreact Reassure everyone: Staff, board, key supporters that you have a plan and are executing it Share with allies: Touch base with coalitions and peer organizations Attacks often target multiple similar organizations Share what you're experiencing and your response plans Ask for help: Learn from others who've been through this; consult funders and foundations   Fact-Finding and Gap Analysis Get clear on accusations: What specifically are they claiming? Assess the facts: What do you know vs. don't know? Close any gaps: You don't have to be perfect Retrain staff if needed Amend reports if necessary Address any legitimate compliance issues   Response Protocol for Official Investigations   When facing government actors: Request identification and documentation: Ensure it's a legitimate governmental agency with authority (warrant/subpoena) Preserve all evidence: Don't destroy documents, emails, or other records Don't obstruct government action but monitor their work (like supervising a contractor in your house) Protect privileged information: Seek legal advice on confidential/privileged materials Designate spokesperson: One staff member communicates with government actors and public to avoid conflicting messages   Legal Support and Defense Seek counsel for preparation: Some aspects you can handle alone, others need legal guidance Retain counsel for formal responses: Essential for official investigations Investigate legal defense funds: If budget is tight, these are increasingly available   Staying on Offense: Reframe the Narrative With a good plan in place, you can be on offense instead of defense: Call political attacks what they are Feel confident in your legal compliance Ensure staff feel safe and confident by sharing/reviewing your plan Continue your great advocacy work because you're in compliance with laws   Special Thanks to Funders Shout out to funders who have stepped up during these attacks: Some have been very public about increasing funding Many have acted quietly without spotlight Both approaches are important and appreciated Creating new funding mechanisms and legal defense funds   Resources Advocacy Check-Up: Nonprofit Self-Assessment Essential Strategies for Navigating Government Inquiries (Perkins Coie) Search Warrants: Dos and Don'ts (Perkins Coie) Sample 501(c)(3) Policy for Election Season  Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s  Practical Guidance Series: Lobbying  Practical Guidance Series: Nonprofit Voter Assistance On-Demand Training: Preparing for Politically Motivated Attacks

Chronic stress can lead to a range of health issues, from anxiety and depression to heart disease and weakened immunity. By mastering stress, we can enhance our quality of life, improve our physical and mental health, and foster a more positive outlook. Here are some effective strategies and tips to help you manage stress and lead a healthier life.   1. Identify Your Stressors The first step in managing stress is to identify what triggers it. Keep a stress journal to track situations, events, or people that cause you stress. Note your reactions and any patterns that emerge. Understanding your stressors helps you develop strategies to avoid or mitigate them.   2. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools for reducing stress. These practices help you stay present, focus on your breath, and cultivate a sense of calm. Even just a few minutes of daily meditation can significantly lower stress levels and improve emotional regulation.   3. Exercise Regularly Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to combat stress. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a workout at the gym, regular exercise can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost overall health.   4. Maintain a Healthy Diet What you eat can affect your stress levels. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains provides the nutrients your body needs to function optimally. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugar, which can exacerbate stress and anxiety.   5. Get Enough Sleep Adequate sleep is crucial for stress management. Lack of sleep can increase stress levels and make it harder to cope with everyday challenges. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Establish a bedtime routine, create a comfortable sleep environment, and avoid screens before bed to improve sleep quality.   6. Learn to Say No Overcommitting yourself can lead to increased stress. Recognize your limits and learn to say no when necessary. Prioritize your tasks and delegate when possible. Setting boundaries helps you manage your time and energy more effectively.   7. Connect with Others Social support is vital for stress management. Spend time with family and friends, join a support group, or engage in community activities. Talking about your stressors with someone you trust can provide relief and new perspectives.   8. Practice Relaxation Techniques Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to manage stress. Deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization can help you relax and reduce stress. Find what works best for you and make it a regular practice.   9. Manage Your Time Effectively Time management is key to reducing stress. Plan your day, set realistic goals, and prioritize tasks. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps and avoid procrastination. Effective time management helps you feel more in control and reduces stress.   10. Seek Professional Help If stress becomes overwhelming, don't hesitate to seek professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide support and teach coping strategies. Sometimes, just talking to a professional can provide relief and help you develop a plan to manage stress.   Mastering stress is essential for leading a healthier, happier life. By identifying your stressors, practicing mindfulness, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, learning to say no, connecting with others, practicing relaxation techniques, managing your time effectively, and seeking professional help when needed, you can reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. Remember, managing stress is a continuous process, and finding what works best for you is key to achieving lasting peace and balance.
