Join John's Newsletter FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Executive time crunch: If an exec only has five minutes instead of 30, ask, "What's the one thing you need to hear to earn another meeting with your full attention?" Focus on that. Lead with a hypothesis: Instead of asking generic discovery questions, start with a hypothesis about their priorities based on research, showing you did your homework. Decision criteria: Prospects may focus on the wrong decision factors. Share a list of common criteria and ask them to rank their priorities to guide the discussion. Demo as you go: Don't save all product demos for the end. Show small pieces of the product during the conversation, interspersing discovery throughout.

What do fingers, flow and faith have to do with each other?  Absolutely everything. The three things are totally interdependent. You can think of them as three corners of a triangle, each corner being connected to each of the other corners. And, just like the legs of a three-legged stool, all three support your playing. I'm guessing you haven't thought of these three elements together before, or how together they form the core of your playing, so I'll give you a quick sketch of what we're going to talk about today. Also, I should be clear that we're not talking about religious faith on the podcast; we're talking about trusting yourself. The idea is this: your technique, your fingers, produce flow and give you faith or confidence in your playing. You have to have faith in your fingers doing what you have trained them to do, because they really don't need you to micromanage them. And you have to have faith that the flow of the piece is what you need to communicate the music. And focusing on flow frees your fingers and gives you faith in your expression of the piece.  I know that short explanation probably raises more questions than it answers and that's what the rest of this show is all about, answering those questions. My hope is that by the end of this episode, you'll have a new perspective on how your technique could be serving you better, how focusing on flow can make your music come together faster and how faith in the process will free you to get to the music (and out of the slow practice) a little faster.

Most of us grew up being taught that somewhere out there in the world is one person—we actually call them “the one”—just waiting for me to find them, to “be mine,” love me, kiss me, and be my soul mate. Until I do—until I find “the one”—I will be incomplete. Unfulfilled. I won't be whole. But have we been focusing on the wrong thing?

176 Well Formed Coaching Outcomes As we settle into the new year, we dive into a powerful tool from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that's designed to help you set well-formed coaching outcomes. Whether you're supporting clients or working on your personal goals, this structured approach helps ensure goals are both achievable and meaningful. In this episode, we reflect on the importance of setting goals that are fully within our control. Many of us—and our clients—fall into the trap of creating goals tied to external factors, like a promotion or financial gain, which often leads to stress and frustration. Instead, we focus on crafting goals that are actionable, inspiring, and fully achievable. We guide you step-by-step through a framework of eight essential questions that can help create clarity and motivation. These questions can be used in coaching sessions to transform vague aspirations into tangible, inspiring outcomes. Jo shares how small language shifts—like reframing a client's "I don't want" statement into "I want"—can unlock surprising insights. We also discuss how vividly imagining success can ignite energy and motivation, making the goal feel within reach. As coaches, our job isn't just to help clients dream big but to anchor those dreams into practical steps that fit their values, resources, and reality. Along the way, we share examples from our sessions, like how sensory-based questions—“What will you hear when you succeed?”—can reveal unexpected details that deepen a client's connection to their goal. The conversation ends with a reminder to apply these questions to your own life. As we step into 2025, how might you create well-formed outcomes for yourself?   Steps to Create a Well-Formed Coaching Outcome What do you want? Use positive, future-focused language to articulate the goal. Avoid framing it around what you don't want. Is it achievable? Ensure the goal is realistic and assess whether it's within the client's capabilities or requires additional steps, like research or skill-building. What will you accept as evidence that you've achieved your outcome? Help the client create a sensory-rich picture of success—what they will see, feel, hear, or experience upon achieving the goal. Is achieving this outcome within your control? Reframe goals that rely on external factors to focus on actions the client can directly control. Are the costs and consequences of obtaining this outcome acceptable? Assess the broader impact of the goal—on relationships, finances, time, and values—to ensure alignment. Do you have all the resources you need to achieve your outcome? Explore tangible (tools, finances) and intangible (beliefs, knowledge) resources required for success. Does achieving this outcome fit with your values? Goals misaligned with values are difficult to achieve. Ensure the goal resonates with the client's core beliefs. If you could have it now, would you take it? A final check to confirm the goal is authentic and deeply desired by the client.   Key Lessons Learned Goals framed in positive language create focus and direction. Clear evidence of success helps align the mind with the outcome. Control over the goal eliminates unnecessary anxiety and builds confidence. Exploring costs and values ensures sustainable, meaningful goals. Asking sensory-based questions deepens the client's emotional connection to the goal.   Key Takeaways Use the seven steps as a framework for personal or client goal-setting. Focus on what's within your control to reduce stress and increase motivation. Ensure alignment with values to maintain commitment and energy. Leverage visualisation and sensory cues to amplify connection to the goal. Don't fear revisiting steps; refining a goal is progress, not failure.   Timestamps 00:03 – 00:47: Introduction—why we're focusing on well-formed coaching outcomes 00:47 – 01:41: Setting goals that are fully within your control 02:10 – 03:07: Coaching isn't just about goals—it's about clarity and exploration 04:03 – 04:25: Step 1: What do you want? 06:22 – 06:49: Step 2: Is it achievable? 08:36 – 09:32: Step 3: What will you accept as evidence? 11:30 – 12:26: Step 4: Is achieving this within your control? 14:10 – 14:39: Step 5: Are the costs and consequences acceptable? 16:36 – 17:31: Step 6: Do you have the resources you need? 17:59 – 18:26: Step 7: Does it fit with your values? 18:55 – 19:21: Step 8: If you could have it now, would you take it? 20:20 – 21:17: Wrapping up—applying the framework to yourself Keywords Well-formed coaching outcomes, NLP goal-setting framework, Coaching questions for clarity, Goal-setting techniques for coaches, Achievable coaching goals, Creating aligned goals, Coaching and values alignment, Positive language for goal setting, Reducing anxiety in goal achievement, Coaching framework for success   Links: COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

In this class, I'm talking about "Who over How." This idea came to me while I was trying to figure out some software that could help my business.

Focus on what you're great at and find the right people to handle the rest. Let's break it down.

Investing in Senior Living Real Estate Source: Vinney Chopra's Mentoring Webinar: Benefits of Investing in Senior Living Real Estate (transcript excerpt). Date: December 20, 2023 Main Themes: The Silver Tsunami: A surge in demand for senior housing driven by aging Baby Boomers, with 10,000 turning 65 every day. Opportunities in Senior Living Real Estate: Focus on residential assisted living (RAL) due to its lower barrier to entry and strong potential for profitability compared to larger facilities. Vinney Chopra's Investment Strategy: Leveraging his experience in multifamily real estate to transition into RAL, purchasing and retrofitting single-family homes to create profitable senior living communities. Key Considerations for RAL Investment: Understanding local regulations, conducting thorough market research to identify demand and competition, securing proper licenses, and ensuring high-quality operations. Syndication as a Funding Mechanism: Highlighting the power of syndication to raise capital for real estate investments, allowing individuals with limited capital to participate in larger projects. Most Important Ideas/Facts: Senior Living is Recession-Resistant: Historical data shows senior living occupancy rates remained stable during economic downturns, indicating a resilient market. High Demand, Low Supply: The current supply of senior housing falls short of the projected demand, creating a prime opportunity for investors. RAL offers Attractive ROI: Potential to generate significant monthly profits ($10,000 - $17,500) per home with proper management and occupancy. Remote Investing is Possible: Chopra demonstrates successful remote acquisition and management of RAL properties, utilizing online resources and trusted teams. Focus on Investor Education: Chopra emphasizes the importance of thorough research, due diligence, and continuous learning for successful real estate investing. Key Quotes: "Silver tsunami is the one where from 2011 to 2030 wow! 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every night in this country." "Economic downturns don't have much effect on senior living." "Whenever you want to buy a residential assisted living... you can be in trouble. So that's why I try to give lots of great points in my webinars where to invest..." "Is there a better way that I could take a residence, a home, a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home, or 5 bedroom home and convert that into residential assisted living?" "You multiply by 12. That is very good. Return on money. ROI. Return on investment. We call it right." "Look for some assisted living residential, assisted, living home with a license on sale." "The key thing is, there are few brokers in every city, every place who deal with these kind of assisted living homes. It's called residential, assisted living." Action Items: Research local regulations and market demand for RAL in your target area. Identify and connect with brokers specializing in RAL properties. Explore financing options and develop a comprehensive business plan. Consider attending Vinney Chopra's Academy or mentorship programs for further education and networking opportunities.   Benefits of Investing in Senior Living Real Estate: A Study Guide Short Answer Questions: What are the three "tsunamis" Vinney Chopra discusses and how do they impact the real estate market? Why does Vinney Chopra advocate for senior living real estate over traditional multifamily investments? What are the different segments of the senior housing spectrum? Which segment does Vinney Chopra focus on and why? Describe the typical resident profile for a residential assisted living home. What are their needs and expectations? What are some key factors to consider when selecting a location for a residential assisted living home? Explain the financial model of a residential assisted living home. What are the primary revenue sources and expenses? How does Vinney Chopra approach furnishing and equipping his residential assisted living homes? Why is this aspect important? What is the role of placement agencies in the senior living industry? How do they benefit residential assisted living homes? Describe the licensing and regulatory requirements for operating a residential assisted living home. Why are these aspects crucial? How does Vinney Chopra utilize technology and resources like ChatGPT and Perplexity to research and identify investment opportunities? Answer Key: The three "tsunamis" are the Millennial Tsunami, Immigration Tsunami, and Silver Tsunami. The Millennial Tsunami refers to the increasing number of millennials entering the rental market, driving demand for apartments. The Immigration Tsunami refers to the influx of immigrants who also require rental housing. The Silver Tsunami signifies the aging baby boomer population and their increasing need for senior living options, driving demand in that sector. Vinney Chopra believes senior living real estate offers greater stability and higher returns compared to multifamily. He highlights the consistent demand driven by the aging population and the need-driven nature of senior care, making it less susceptible to economic downturns. The senior housing spectrum ranges from age-restricted apartments (choice-driven) to skilled nursing facilities (need-driven). Vinney focuses on residential assisted living, which falls in the middle, as it offers a balance of independence and care, catering to a growing segment with strong demand. Residents in residential assisted living homes are typically seniors who require assistance with daily living activities like bathing, medication, and meals. They seek a comfortable, home-like environment with social interaction and personalized care. Location selection involves considering proximity to hospitals, the density of existing senior living facilities, local zoning regulations, and the overall demographics of the area, ensuring sufficient demand and compliance with regulations. The financial model relies on resident fees as the primary revenue source. Expenses include staffing, food, utilities, insurance, and property maintenance. Profitability hinges on maintaining high occupancy rates and managing expenses efficiently. Vinney prioritizes creating inviting and comfortable spaces using affordable furniture and decor from sources like Amazon and HomeGoods, understanding the importance of aesthetics and ambiance for resident well-being. Placement agencies act as intermediaries connecting seniors with appropriate living arrangements. They build relationships with hospitals, rehab centers, and doctors, acting as a valuable referral source for residential assisted living homes. Operating a residential assisted living home necessitates obtaining state licenses and adhering to regulations concerning safety, staffing, caregiving, and resident well-being. Compliance is critical for legal operation and maintaining a safe and ethical environment. Vinney leverages AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to quickly gather information on market trends, competitor analysis, and property listings. This efficient approach streamlines research and helps identify promising investment opportunities. Essay Questions: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of investing in residential assisted living homes compared to larger senior living communities. Analyze the impact of the aging population on the real estate market. What are the potential challenges and opportunities for investors? Explain the importance of thorough due diligence when evaluating a potential residential assisted living investment. What are the key aspects to investigate? Develop a comprehensive marketing strategy for attracting residents to a residential assisted living home. Consider target audience, messaging, and promotional channels. Discuss the ethical considerations and responsibilities involved in operating a residential assisted living home. How can investors ensure the well-being and dignity of residents? Glossary of Key Terms: Assisted Living: A type of senior housing providing assistance with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, while promoting independence and social interaction. Baby Boomers: The generation born between 1946 and 1964, representing a significant portion of the aging population. Capture Rate Study: A market analysis determining the potential demand for senior living services within a specific geographic area. Dementia: A general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Placement Agency: A company that assists seniors and their families in finding appropriate senior living options, including assisted living and memory care facilities. Residential Assisted Living (RAL): A type of assisted living provided in a smaller, residential setting, typically a single-family home, offering a more intimate and home-like environment. Retrofitting: Modifying an existing structure to meet the specific needs of a new purpose, such as converting a single-family home into a residential assisted living facility. Senior Housing Spectrum: A range of senior living options, from independent living to skilled nursing, catering to varying levels of care and support needs. Silver Tsunami: A term describing the surge in demand for senior living and healthcare services due to the rapidly aging baby boomer population. Syndication: A method of pooling funds from multiple investors to purchase and manage larger real estate assets, allowing individuals to participate in investments they might not be able to afford independently.

Panet Buzz's panel 2025 Capricorn episode, “NODES PISCES VIRGO: The Details Are in the Gods”. “The Lunar Nodes are points of intersection as the word ‘node' indicates ‘union'. The orbital paths of the moon and sun cross as the moon travels north or south of the ecliptic. The moon weaves back and forth across the ecliptic regularly, but every 18 months these astrological points begin a new cycle. They transit backwards in the horoscope, to the previous signs because they move according to the primary motion of the earth's rotation (rather than the secondary motion which is the earth's orbit around the sun),” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “These points represent our karma we have inherited through many lifetime experiences in the South Node, and the polar opposite in the evolutionary North Node of Destiny. Essentially, January 11 we enter consciousness asking us to heal our fragmented parts, and the world, to embrace its unity.” Talk Cosmos Planet Buzz connects with a myriad of new or returning Special Guests from around the USA and parts of the world contemplating potent subjects concerning us all.

Il Prof. Daniele di Bartolomeo racconta, in questo podcast, la storia di colui che pareva essere un personaggio secondario della storia europea e che, invece, ne è divenuto un protagonista. Luigi Bonaparte, nipote dell'imperatore Napoleone e figlio di Luigi re d'Olanda, nacque a Parigi nel 1808 e crebbe in Svizzera, in un ambiente chiaramente influenzato dalla tradizione bonapartista, dall'importanza del prestigio militare e dell'autoritarismo, con una forte voglia di emulazione verso l'opera dello zio e di riscatto. In gioventù prese parte in Italia ad alcune attività cospirative (ad es. in Romagna), mentre in Francia tentò di porre fine alla monarchia del re Luigi Filippo e partecipò alla rivoluzione del 1848. Questa, conclusasi nel mese di dicembre, vide la nascita della seconda Repubblica francese, della quale Luigi Bonaparte divenne presidente. Tra il 1852 e il 1870 fu imperatore dei Francesi, tentando di far rivivere la tradizione politica dello zio e provando a fare della Francia una potenza nuovamente dominante. Daniele Di Bartolomeo, è Professore Associato (ora Ordinario) di Storia Moderna all'Università di Teramo, dove è anche vice coordinatore del Dottorato di Studi Storici. Autore di due opere sulla Rivoluzione francese, da poco ha pubblicato Le due Repubbliche. Pensare la Rivoluzione nella Francia del 1848. A cura di Francesco De Leo.

BONUS: Building Agile Startups with Nick Hughes of Founders Live   Welcome, Agile friends! In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nick Hughes, the founder of Founders Live, a global startup community now operating in more than 100 cities and 50 countries. Our conversation explored what it really takes to build a business and how the principles of agility can help entrepreneurs adapt, iterate, and thrive.   If you've ever wondered how to sharpen your message, build resilience in the face of setbacks, and foster meaningful connections in the startup world, this episode is for you!   The Birth of Founders Live “Test, learn, iterate, and grow. That's how I built Founders Live.”   Nick's story began over 10 years ago when he noticed something missing in the entrepreneurial world—a supportive community where early-stage founders could connect, learn, and grow together. As a founder himself, he knew firsthand how isolating the startup journey could be.   He decided to experiment with an idea, and it worked. Founders Live has since become a thriving global movement where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas, connect with like-minded people, and celebrate innovation in an engaging, fun atmosphere.   Each Founders Live event follows a simple but powerful format: five founders deliver 99-second pitches, followed by four minutes of audience Q&A. Then, the crowd votes on the winner. Add some networking, food, and drinks, and you've got a recipe for an unforgettable experience!   The takeaway here? Test small, see what works, and refine from there.   The Power of a 99-Second Pitch “It's not easy to create your 99-second pitch. But that time frame forces founders to really think: What is my message?”   Nick's 99-second pitch format is more than a clever gimmick—it's a forcing function for founders to get crystal clear about their message. In a short window of time, founders must distill their big idea into something precise, engaging, and impactful.   Many founders tell Nick that while it's nerve-wracking at first, they walk away feeling more confident and impressed with their own ability to communicate under pressure. It's not just about pitching—it's about building communication agility and clarity of purpose.   Why Networking and Mentorship Matter “If you figure out ways to help people and open doors for them, it comes back to you tenfold.”   One of the most valuable aspects of Founders Live is its emphasis on connection. Nick shared that many of the most successful founders he knows have built networks by being generous—by “opening doors” for others. Whether it's offering advice, making introductions, or helping someone troubleshoot a challenge, those who give tend to receive tenfold in return.   His advice for founders? Show up, participate, and look for ways to add value to your community. Authenticity and generosity go a long way in building strong relationships that will support your growth.   Embracing Agility and Resilience “Agility is looking at things as experiments—identify what works, keep that, and stop what isn't working.”   We also dove into the mindset that helps founders bounce back from setbacks. For Nick, agility means viewing everything as an experiment. When things don't go as planned, the question isn't “Why did this happen to me?” but rather “What can I learn from this, and how can I adjust?”   Successful founders are constantly iterating—testing, learning, and evolving. The entrepreneurial journey isn't a straight line; it's a cycle of experimentation and improvement. Agility doesn't just happen in the product—it starts with how you frame your challenges and your willingness to pivot when needed.   Common Misconceptions About Entrepreneurship “We all want creators in the world, but it's a tough road. You need to build something that adds value before pitching it.”   According to Nick, many first-time founders enter the startup world with unrealistic expectations. Building a business isn't just about pitching your idea to investors—it's about creating something valuable, getting traction, and proving adoption first. If you don't have traction or proof points, you're burning bridges by pitching too early.   His advice? Focus on solving real problems and showing early growth before you seek funding. When you walk into the room with evidence that people love your product, your pitch becomes much stronger—and much harder to ignore.   Intrapreneurship: Innovating Inside Larger Companies   Not every entrepreneur is working outside the corporate world—some are internal innovators looking to make a difference within their organizations. For those intrapreneurs, Nick had some great advice: define your opportunity clearly, understand your company's risk tolerance, and align your goals with measurable outcomes.   If you want to pitch new ideas inside a company, start by identifying what success would look like and communicating that vision effectively. Intrapreneurship thrives when there's clarity around expectations and potential rewards.   Nick's Resource Recommendation   When I asked Nick for a resource recommendation, he shared the book “The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life” by David Brooks. It's an inspiring read about finding purpose and meaning by building something bigger than yourself—a fitting message for entrepreneurs seeking to create meaningful impact.   We closed with Nick's final piece of advice: “Test, learn, iterate, and grow. That's how I built Founders Live.”   This simple but powerful mantra reminds us that agility isn't just a process—it's a mindset. Whether you're launching your own startup or driving innovation within a larger organization, success comes from being open to experimentation and continuous improvement.

You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears.
