Podcasts about Expectation

Do you believe God loves you but struggle to feel it? Or do you wrestle with the need to control everything while believing God is in charge? If you're stuck in the gap between what you believe and what you experience, this episode is for you! We are excited to share this interview because we know it will speak to the common dynamics that show up in our relationships and spiritual journey. Host Austin Conner invites pastor and author Steve Cuss to share about his book The Expectation Gap, offering strategies to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.   Most of us experience a disconnect between our faith and daily life, which is what inspired Steve to address relational patterns that fuel addiction and spiritual stagnation. Using the Systems Theory, Steve identifies the relational dynamics of: Reactivity, Assumptions, Stuck Patterns and Attempted Solutions as a map for understanding how and why we get discouraged in our faith and disconnect from others.  This conversation also highlights the false needs of Control, Perfection, Knowing the Answer, Being There for Others and Seeking Approval, and how they drive anxiety and block God's comforting presence. You will learn how to cultivate micro-habits that replace chaos and striving with awareness and stillness.  If you want to learn more or find Steve's Life-Giving List, visit stevecusswords.com or read Steve's book The Expectation Gap.  Connect with us & Subscribe to our weekly newsletter!

Dr. Sebastian Voigt spricht mit Christian Saxenhammer, Gründer und CEO der M&A-Beratung Saxenhammer, über Unternehmensbewertung und Exit-Strategien im deutschen Mittelstand. „Das ist eigentlich der Hauptgrund, warum man nicht zustande kommt, dass man im Prinzip ein Mismatch hat zwischen der Expectation des Verkäufers und der Kaufbereitschaft des Käufers", erklärt Christian, warum 20 % aller Deals scheitern. Dabei können sich Multiplikatoren extrem unterscheiden: „Im Bereich KI ist man halt bei zehnmal Umsatz oder vielleicht, wenn es ein ganz heißes Thema ist, auch 20-mal Umsatz" – während traditionelle Branchen nur 0,25x erzielen. Im Zentrum stehen DCF vs. Multiple-Bewertung, Private Equity vs. strategische Käufer und die Frage, wann Wachstum oder Stabilität den Unternehmenswert treiben. Christian zeigt auf, wie erfolgreiche M&A-Prozesse funktionieren: von der Käuferrecherche über vertrauliche Ansprache bis zur finalen Bieterschlacht – und warum deutsche Mittelständler oft qualitative Faktoren über den Höchstpreis stellen. Eine Folge über Unternehmensverkauf, Due Diligence und variable Honorarmodelle im M&A-Geschäft. Über den Gast: Christian Saxenhammer ist Gründer und CEO der M&A-Beratung Saxenhammer. Seit 2006 hat er mit seinem Team über 400 Transaktionen mit einem Volumen von mehr als 20 Milliarden Euro begleitet. Mit Fokus auf Mittelstand und Tech-Firmen an den Standorten Berlin, Frankfurt, München und Zürich.

In the second installment of the "Communication Lies Leaders Believe" series, Tammy J. Bond tackles a myth that keeps countless leaders "stuck": the lie that giving direct feedback makes you mean. Tammy powerfully argues that direct feedback doesn't make you mean—it makes you a manager. This episode is a call to courage for every leader who has let their discomfort drive silence. Tammy shares how this avoidance leads to resentment and underperformance and provides a practical framework, the SBIE model (Situation, Behavior, Impact, Expectation), for delivering feedback that is both direct and human. You are not mean for saying what needs to be said; you're managing with intention. Key Takeaways for Leaders Mean vs. Managing: Giving direct feedback is a core function of leadership, not an act of meanness. The Cost of Silence: Your discomfort with conflict is more costly than the conflict itself. Silence leads to confusion, resentment, and underperformance. Courage is Clarity's Best Friend: It takes courage to bring clarity into the workplace. You must be willing to be uncomfortable for the sake of your team's success. Separate the Do from the Who: Use a framework like the SBIE model to focus feedback on the specific behavior ("the do") rather than the person's identity or personality ("the who"). Feedback as a Gift: Embrace the perspective that direct, clear feedback is a valuable opportunity for growth, not something to be feared. The Problem with Over-Parenting: Leaders who avoid difficult conversations often fall into the trap of being a "friend" or "accidental therapist," which undermines their ability to lead effectively. Managing with Intention: Recognize that your words have purpose. You're not just speaking—you're managing, mentoring, and empowering your team to be their best. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why the lie that direct feedback is mean keeps leaders from being effective. How to use the SBIE (Situation, Behavior, Impact, Expectation) model to deliver clear, actionable feedback. The psychological reasons behind our avoidance of tough conversations. The negative consequences of a leader's silence on team morale and performance. How to build a culture where direct, kind feedback is a normal and valued part of your team's success. Call to Action Great leaders don't wait for permission to lead, learn, and leverage. If this episode spoke to you, you're ready to get intentional.

In this Harvest Series episode, Rose Claverie sits down with journalist-filmmaker Rokhaya Diallo and author Thomas Chatterton Williams to explore courage, race, and identity across two continents. Recorded in Kaplankaya, this conversation examines what it means to challenge dominant narratives in societies with very different approaches to discussing race.Rokhaya shares her path to becoming a leading public voice in France, shaped by personal experience and the absence of representation in French media. Thomas reflects on his transatlantic perspective, contrasting the reception of his work in the U.S. and France, and discussing race as both a fiction and a lived reality.From intellectual courage to personal passions — including anime, sport, and literature — this episode offers a layered conversation about identity, visibility, and the price of speaking out.Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to Harvest & introduction00:29 – Raising your voice in a quiet world01:19 – First impressions & arrival in Kaplankaya02:01 – Rokhaya's background and roots02:50 – Thomas's background and roots03:33 – Becoming public voices on race & identity04:20 – Gender awareness from a young age05:04 – Discovering racial perception in adulthood07:01 – Representation in media: France vs. U.S.08:51 – Impossibility of seeing oneself in French media10:23 – Visibility changes & ongoing gaps11:12 – Representation in French cinema and culture12:08 – Thomas on becoming a public writer13:22 – Race as a prism in writing15:01 – France vs. U.S. discourse on race17:10 – Contrasting receptions of their work18:16 – Race as fiction with real-world impact19:10 – Misuse of each other's work in debates20:20 – Expectation of “gratitude” from minorities22:10 – Complexity of national identity and history23:20 – Audience reactions and defensiveness24:25 – The impossibility of a racism-free society25:01 – Left-wing critique vs. accusations toward minorities25:27 – Balancing debate fatigue with mission26:07 – Intellectual courage and respectful discourse27:04 – Handling online criticism & resilience28:06 – Superpower: not needing strangers to like you28:59 – Fatigue from being misunderstood29:17 – Desire to speak beyond confrontational topics30:04 – Media reception and debate framing31:15 – Topics beyond race & politics: anime, sport, literature34:09 – Current projects and upcoming books36:07 – Graphic novel biography of Angela Davis37:27 – Magic wand changes: better dialogue & equal storytelling39:19 – Closing thanks and reflectionsIf you had the courage to change one thing in your society, what would it be?You can follow us on Instagram at @HarvestSeries or @rose.claverie for updates.Watch our podcast episodes and speaker sessions on YouTube: Harvest Series.Credits:Sound editing by: @lesbellesfrequencesTechnician in Kaplankaya: Joel MoriasiMusic by: ChambordArtwork by: Davide d'AntonioHarvest Series is produced in partnership with Athena Advisers and

Send us a textHow many times has a deal gone sour because of a simple miscommunication about expectations? This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott welcome Pete Howland to break down the critical skill of setting and managing client expectations. This isn't just about good manners; it's about building trust, avoiding disappointment, and ensuring a fantastic customer experience.Pete reveals a simple yet powerful tactic: instead of giving a vague timeframe like "it'll be ready in a few hours," give a concrete time of day. "I'll have that to you by 3 PM" is a game-changer that eliminates ambiguity and shows you're in control.But the real secret, Pete argues, is asking the right questions to uncover the expectations your client already has—and you just don't know about yet. We dive into how to have these crucial conversations upfront to align on goals and build a collaborative, transparent relationship from the very start.This episode is your blueprint for moving beyond vague promises and into a world of clear, confident communication. Tune in as Pete breaks down how mastering this skill will not only save you from headaches but also consistently help you deliver an exceptional experience that keeps clients coming back.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 11th of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We go straight to Psalms 62:5: ”My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.” Then out of the Message translation, it says: God, the one and only—I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him, so why not?” Then the last one is from the Passion translation. It says: ”I am standing in absolute stillness, silent before the one I love. Waiting as long as it takes for Him to rescue me. Only God is my saviour and He will not fail me.” Who do you have your expectation in today? Is it the Government? No, you say you're very disappointed. Is it maybe your favourite sports team that has let you down again and you're feeling so despondent today? Is it maybe more personal? Is it at work? Has your employer disappointed you? What about at home? How is it with your wife? How is it with your husband? Have they disappointed you? What about your children? Are they just not performing at school or university? It's costing you an arm and a leg and they just don't seem to be trying their best?You see, the problem is not with all of those things. The problem is with us, with you and me. Our expectation is in the wrong place. Our expectation needs to be in God alone!One of my favourite scriptures is found in Hebrews 13:6: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” If Jesus Christ is Lord of your life this morning, you have nothing to be afraid of. You will not be disappointed and He will not fail you.Do you know that beautiful chorus, He is Lord? Maybe you and I today need to sing it. Maybe we haven't sung it for a long time. Please join me:For He is Lord, He is Lord,He has risen from the dead, and He is Lord.Every knee shall bow, every tongue confessthat Jesus Christ is Lord!Go out today and let your expectation be in Christ alone, and you will have a beautiful day!God bless you and goodbye.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.”~John R. Stott (1921-2011), English minister and author “…in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.”~David Foster Wallace (1962-2008), celebrated American writer “I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman… who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.”~A.W. Tozer (1897-1963), American pastor and author “Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen.”~Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) “Dump a year's supply of manna into cold storage and, guaranteed, you will forget God until the supply disappears… Do you see how this is exactly what we need? Fears and worries live in the future, trying to assure a good outcome in a potentially hard situation. The last thing they want to do is trust anyone, God included. To thwart this tendency toward independence, God only gives us what we need when we need it. The emerging idea is that he wants us to trust him in the future rather than our self-protective plan.”~Ed Welch, Professor of Practical Theology and author of Running Scared: Fear, Worry and the God of RestSERMON PASSAGEHebrews 12:18-29 (ESV) 18 For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest 19 and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. 20 For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.” 22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. 25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.

This makes four straight years of an underwhelming trade deadline for the Red Sox, but because Craig Breslow talked a big game, this deadline arguably feels the worst.

What are you expecting from God? We often think from a place of low expectancy from God, but this should be the exact opposite. With all that the Lord has shown He will do for us, why not expect more? Why not believe in Him for the impossible? Why doubt Him? It's time for the people of God to increase our expectation!  Focus: Ephesians 3:20  All Verses Covered: Ephesians 3:20, Acts 10:44-46, 12:1-9,11-15  Original Air Date: July 31, 2025  We have bible studies via Zoom every Monday at 7 pm Central Standard Time.
