Podcasts about Excellence

In today's episode I sit down with with Dr. Tom Hildebrandt, clinical psychologist and director at Mount Sinai's Center for Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders, to unpack the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders—and why that distinction matters. We dive into how to foster healthy food environments at home, when (and how) to talk to your kids about food and body image, and why regular family meals might be your best defense against future struggles. Plus: the impact of food delivery culture, what to do when kids self-soothe with snacks, and how to respond if you suspect something deeper is going on.Link to Mount Sinai's Center for Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders, HEREI WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." ― Alice Walker Check Out These Highlights:  I love this quote. Way too often, I hear people say things like, “I have no choice” or What are you going to do? It's not worth saying anything because you can't change the town hall.”  Now that my boys are working in the corporate world, I often share that they always have a choice and that they are in control of their future. I get it sometimes; it may not feel like you have any choice, but no one has power over you except you.

While in school, he worked part-time in the accounting department of a multi-state organization, eventually transitioning into a role in Human Resources—a better fit for his background and passion for helping people thrive at work.With broad experience across industries like retail, healthcare, distribution, oil & gas, and engineering, Justin focuses on improving the candidate and employee experience throughout the employment lifecycle.

He holds both Senior Professional and Global Professional certifications in Human Resources.Outside of work, Justin actively volunteers at his church and in the community, including with Junior Achievement and F3. He previously served as President of Fort Worth HR and was named a Top 40 Under 40 honoree by the Fort Worth Business Press, reflecting his commitment to impactful service and HR excellence.In this episode, Eric and Justin Dorsey discuss:The evolution of HR from a compliance function to a strategic driverWhy execution excellence is foundational to HR credibilityHow fractional HR can support growing businessesThe critical role of company culture in employee retentionAdvice for young HR professionals navigating their careersKey Takeaways:Strategic HR starts with operational excellence. You can't earn a strategic seat at the table without first delivering on the basics—payroll, benefits, compliance, and employee support must run smoothly. That's how credibility is built.Fractional HR is a flexible, cost-effective solution for small to mid-sized businesses. Whether it's interim leadership, project-based work, or an ongoing partnership, a fractional HR model provides expert guidance without the cost of a full-time hire.Culture must be intentional, not assumed. Leaders should be willing to assess and challenge their assumptions about what makes their workplace great. Employee feedback—like Best Place to Work surveys—can expose blind spots and create a path for real improvement.Execution trumps planning without follow-through. Even the best strategy won't matter without proper implementation. Break big initiatives into manageable, sequenced steps and ensure ownership is clear at every level.Build your career through curiosity and relationships. Young HR professionals should stay curious, take calculated risks, invest in their network, and never forget—it's not just about what you know, it's about the people you help and grow with along the way."Don't be afraid to take risks, be contagiously, consistently curious, and then also build your network." - Justin DorseyConnect with Justin Dorsey:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-dorsey-sphr Email: justin@texasHRteam.com Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

Episode 4414: Trade War With China; Preventing The Boxing Out Of American Excellence

The 3 Big Questions We're Answering: 1. What constitutes a "worthy challenge" in our lives, and how can pursuing these challenges contribute to our personal growth and development? 2. How can we transform everyday struggles into meaningful opportunities for character development and fulfillment? 3. How do ambition and the desire for achievement intersect with the pursuit of internal peace and self-actualization? 

The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com  Garth Heckman Five Ways the Bible Talks About Being a High Performer 1. Introduction: Defining "High Performance" Biblically The concept of "high performance" in contemporary society often centers on exceptional achievements, maximizing productivity, and gaining recognition within one's field. To understand how the Bible addresses this concept, it is necessary to consider its unique perspective, which frequently prioritizes underlying motivations, foundational principles, and a measure of success rooted in a divine worldview. The biblical perspective on high performance is likely more comprehensive than a purely outcome-driven secular viewpoint. It appears to integrate aspects of moral character and spiritual development alongside tangible achievements. The user's query and the related research areas touch upon ethical and spiritual dimensions such as integrity, worship, and service, in addition to practical considerations like diligence and skill. This suggests that the Bible presents a multifaceted understanding of what it means to perform at a high level. Furthermore, grasping the biblical concept of high performance necessitates an examination of not only the nature of the work itself but also the underlying reasons for undertaking it and the manner in which it is executed. The inclusion of "worship or service to God" and "stewardship" in the research areas directly indicates the significance of motivation and the quality of performance within the Bible's framework of achievement. 2. Diligence and Wholehearted Effort: The Foundation of Biblical Achievement A recurring theme throughout the Bible is the significance of diligence, hard work, and the avoidance of laziness in all endeavors. This emphasis is particularly evident in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, such as the book of Proverbs, and is consistently reinforced in the teachings and exhortations found in the New Testament epistles. Proverbs offers practical insights into various facets of life, including the intrinsic value of hard work in attaining prosperity and preventing destitution. Verses like, "A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich" (Proverbs 10:4) and "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied" (Proverbs 13:4) provide a stark contrast between the outcomes of a diligent and a slothful approach to life. The well-known analogy of the ant in Proverbs 6:6-11 serves as a compelling illustration of the wisdom inherent in proactive and persistent labor, highlighting the importance of preparing for the future without needing constant supervision. Even James says faith without works is dead… works is a central theme. And works as in hard work or diligent work is a solid theme in scripture. A central passage in this regard is Colossians 3:23-24 , which urges believers to "work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men," thereby transforming even the most ordinary tasks into acts of worship. Similarly, 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 encourages followers of Christ to lead quiet lives, attend to their responsibilities, and engage in manual labor to achieve self-sufficiency and earn the respect of those outside the faith. The principle articulated in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 , stating that "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat," underscores the fundamental necessity of work for one's provision. Furthermore, Ephesians 4:28 advocates for honest labor as a means not only of self-support but also of enabling generosity towards those in need. Ecclesiastes 9:10 advises individuals to pursue their tasks with utmost vigor, recognizing the cessation of earthly activities in the afterlife. The very example of God, who worked in creation (Genesis 2:15 ) and continues to work (John 5:17 ), sets a divine precedent for the importance of labor.    Diligence honors God.    3. Wisdom, Skill, and Continuous Learning: Cultivating God-Given Talents The Bible underscores the significance of wisdom, skill, and the ongoing acquisition of knowledge as they relate to one's vocation or calling. The book of Proverbs, in particular, frequently extols the virtues of wisdom and understanding.Proverbs 2:6 explicitly states that "the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding," establishing God as the ultimate source of these invaluable qualities. Furthermore, Proverbs 4:7 advises, "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding," highlighting the necessity of actively pursuing these attributes. Proverbs 22:29 recognizes the inherent value of skill ("skillful in his work") and its potential to elevate individuals to positions of influence.      Skills and talents, as demonstrated in the Bible, are frequently presented as divine gifts, intended to be acknowledged and utilized for God's purposes.  4. Integrity and Excellence as Worship: Reflecting God's Character in Work The Bible places immense importance on integrity, honesty, and ethical behavior in all facets of life, including one's professional endeavors. Proverbs 11:3 affirms that "The integrity of the upright guides them," underscoring the directive nature of moral uprightness. Proverbs 28:6 further emphasizes this by stating, "Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse," thus valuing integrity above material wealth.  When work is performed with unwavering integrity and to the absolute best of one's abilities, it transcends mere task completion and can be rightly viewed as an act of worship and dedicated service to God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 provides the overarching directive: "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." This principle inherently extends to all forms of labor and professional conduct.    5. Service and Contribution: Measuring Performance Through Love for Others A central tenet of biblical teaching is the profound importance of serving others as a tangible demonstration of love and a fundamental aspect of following the example set by Jesus himself. Matthew 23:11 clearly states, "The greatest among you will be your servant," directly inverting the world's typical understanding of power and hierarchical status. Mark 10:45 articulates Jesus' core mission: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."  6. Faithfulness and Perseverance: The Enduring Qualities of a High Performer The Apostle Paul, in 2 Timothy 4:7 , reflects on his own life, stating that he had "fought the good fight," "finished the race," and "kept the faith," thereby emphasizing the paramount importance of enduring to the very end of one's calling. Hebrews 12:1-2 further exhorts believers to run the metaphorical race of faith with unwavering endurance, maintaining a steadfast focus on Jesus Christ. The Bible itself presents God's own faithfulness as the ultimate and unwavering example for believers to emulate, and as the very source of strength that enables them to persevere.    7. Conclusion: Integrating Biblical Principles for a Life of High Performance In synthesizing the various ways the Bible addresses the concept of high performance, five key interconnected principles emerge: diligence and wholehearted effort, the cultivation of wisdom and skill, the pursuit of integrity and excellence as acts of worship, a commitment to serving others, and the enduring qualities of faithfulness and perseverance. Ultimately, biblical high performance is not about accumulating wealth or gaining worldly recognition but about living a life that is deeply pleasing to God, pleasing to his church and has a lasting, positive impact on His kingdom for eternity. Are you a high performer? Simply ask yourself daily: am I living a life that is pleasing God, pleasing his church and has an eternal impact. If yes… then you are in fact a high performer!

What does it mean to live a good life? And can your running practice help you get there? In this episode of The Trailhead, Zoë Rom and Brendan Leonard sit down with Sabrina Little: ultrarunner, philosopher, ethics professor, mom of (soon to be) three, and author of The Examined Run: Why Good People Make Better Runners. Sabrina's work sits at the fascinating intersection of character development, everyday ethics, and endurance sports. She teaches philosophy at Christopher Newport University and writes a beloved ethics column for iRunFar—and she's here to explore how running can be a "laboratory for virtue," where our daily choices shape who we become both on and off the trail. Together, we unpack: How running teaches us about moral character (whether we know it or not) Everyday ethical choices in sport and life—beyond the big scandals Why we hedge the truth (even when no one's watching) What it means to celebrate others' success while still chasing your own The role of humor and humility in building resilience How parenting and philosophy collide  And why runners aren't just chasing finish lines—they're practicing becoming better people.

Would you consider yourself a person of excellence? How clean is your microwave?In this message, Pastor Tim Martin shares how We can pursue excellence. Being a person of excellence doesn't mean being perfect. The original motto for Victory Fellowship Church was "the perfect church for imperfect people".We should reflect God's character, reflecting him wholeheartedly Characteristics of a person of excellence:- FaithHebrew 11:6Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.- IntegrityProverbs 20:7    The righteous who walks in his integrity—        blessed are his children after him!Matthew 5:37 Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil.- CompassionEphesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.Matthew 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.Are you tired and struggling, Jesus has compassion on you. A person of excellence will ask God to see people the way God sees them. - Humility1 Peter 5:5-7[5] Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."[6] Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, [7] casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.- Persistence Galatians 6:9-10And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.You become a person of excellence by spending time with God. You learn to trust God the more you spend time with him. Like the way a horse learns to trust his master, we should learn to trust our Master. A well-trained horse will obey quickly. The horse has spent a lot of time with his master and has learned to trust his master's commands. As children of God, we can learn to trust God as we spend time with Him. Time had a horse named Lucky, wherever he pointed Lucky's head, he would go. We need to be like that with God.

Hello to you listening in Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Recently, I was told to stop using a script for my podcast.

It's not a crutch—it's a tool for excellence. 10 ways your script serves you:✓ Precision: Scripts ensure every word counts, especially in time-constrained formats.✓ Clarity: Writing helps organize thoughts, resulting in a more coherent message.✓ Concision: Scripting allows for editing, cutting fluff, and honing key points.✓ Consistency: Regular scripting develops a recognizable style and voice.✓ Preparation: Scripts reduce anxiety and boost confidence before recording or speaking.✓ Professionalism: Well-crafted words reflect dedication to your craft and audience.✓ Time Management: Scripts help maintain pacing and hit crucial points within time limits.✓ Flexibility: A good script serves as a guide, not a cage, allowing for natural delivery.✓ Quality Control: Writing enables review and refinement before going live.✓ Respect: Preparing thoroughly shows you value your listeners' time and attention.Story Prompt: A script isn't about reading robotically—it's about crafting your message with intention. The best speakers make their carefully prepared words sound spontaneous. How do you embrace your script, not as training wheels, but a launchpad for powerful communication?

What happens when your calling—the thing that once felt like holy ground—starts draining you? In this compelling conversation, Alan sits down with Dr. Arianna Anderson, author of the new book Healthy Calling: From Toxic Burnout to Sustainable Work. Arianna combines academic research, personal story, and spiritual wisdom to expose the surprising dark side of calling. Together, they unpack why some of the most driven and passionate people—those who feel most called to their work—are also the most vulnerable to burnout. From relational shame to boundary shaming, calling-driven burnout has unique roots—and this episode offers practical ways forward. About Dr. Arianna Molloy Arianna is a Communication professor at Biola University, where she designs and teaches Organizational Communication courses. She has also partnered with Biola's Office of Faculty Advancement, leading the Pedagogy Development Consulting program. Her research focuses on meaningful work, work as a calling, and the link between humility and burnout, with publications in premier journals such as the International Journal of Business Communication and Communication Studies. One of her collaborations won “Article of the Year” in the Journal of Management, Spirituality, and Religion. She views her role as a professor through the lens of being a mentor who loves to learn. While she's been honored with awards like Biola's Provost Award for “Excellence in Teaching” and the “Faculty Excellence” award, her deepest joy comes from witnessing the transformation in her students' lives. What You'll Learn: Why calling can lead to deeper burnout than a regular job or career The difference between general burnout and "calling burnout" The role of humility in avoiding burnout and leading sustainably How boundaries (and boundary-shaming) impact your emotional health Reflection Questions: Am I pursuing my calling—or idolizing it? How close am I on the spectrum from healthy to burnout? Have I been shamed for setting boundaries… or doing that to others? Am I confusing hustle with faithfulness? What would Sabbath look like if I truly stopped for one day each week?
