We're heading into planning season—and if you're anything like the nonprofit leaders I work with, your to-do list is already growing. But here's a question we don't ask enough: “How will this plan help us say no?” In this episode, I dig into why most strategic plans are more like overwhelming wish lists, and how to flip the script by building a plan that's not just visionary, but protective. I'll walk you through the cost of “yes-by-default” planning, and share the three filters I use with clients to create focused, capacity-aware strategies that actually get implemented. If you're feeling stretched thin or unsure what not to do next year, this one's for you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “yes” is costing you more than you think—and how to identify itThe real reason most strategic plans collapse by Q2Three powerful filters to build a plan that guards your team, time, and missionKey takeaways:Every yes costs something—time, energy, and focus. If your plan doesn't help you say no, it's not protecting your mission.Strategic plans fail not because of lack of ambition, but because of lack of filtration. You need sharper priorities, not longer lists.Using filters like alignment, capacity, and opportunity cost helps transform bloated planning into strategic clarity.The 3-Step Filter for a Focused, “No-Powered” PlanUse these three questions to evaluate every new initiative before it enters your 2026 plan:Strategic Alignment -- Ask: Does this move us measurably closer to our 1–2 core goals?Team Capacity -- Ask: Do we realistically have the time, energy, and talent to do this well?Opportunity Cost -- Ask: If we say yes to this, what are we delaying or derailing?Want to work together?

What can honeybees teach us about leadership, focus, and living with intention? In this episode of The Legendary Leaders Podcast, host Cathleen O'Sullivan welcomes back Jones Loflin—speaker, coach, educator, and co-author of Focused as a Bee.  Drawing from his beekeeping journey with his daughter Sydney, Jones reveals how small shifts in focus can create big changes in how we lead and live. Their book is both a practical guide and a heartfelt tribute to Sydney's late best friend Alicia, reminding us that life is too short to glorify busyness.  Jones opens up about co-authoring with his daughter, navigating generational differences, and why giving ourselves “permission” may be the secret to better leadership. From consistency to the courage to be unavailable, this conversation offers golden insights—and plenty of laughs—to help you move from busy to truly focused.   Episode Timeline: 00:00 Introduction and welcome back to Jones Loflin  01:11 From busyness to focus: why activity isn't enough  03:34 Beekeeping beginnings and inspiration for Focused as a Bee  05:32 Honoring Sydney's best friend Alicia through storytelling  08:11 Three core goals of the book: focus, friendship, and tribute  11:07 Co-authoring with Sydney: lessons from generational differences  18:13 What bees teach us about teamwork, service, and focus  23:39 Progress moments: first honey harvests and surviving winter  25:30 Striking out “busy” and choosing focus with intention  28:39 What a focused day feels like: peace, accomplishment, and energy  31:09 Young professionals, multitasking, and the search for meaning  35:32 Permission to recharge and why leaders need downtime  39:35 Permission to be unavailable: setting boundaries and managing distractions  48:06 Practical first steps to build focus and giving yourself permission  54:39 Why it's hard to prioritize ourselves—and how to reframe it  01:00:30 The power of consistency: small actions with lasting impact     Key Takeaway: Focus Over Busyness: Jones explains why activity alone isn't enough, and how shifting from “busy” to “focused” leads to more meaningful progress.  Permission to Lead Differently: From recharging to being unavailable, Jones shares how giving yourself permission creates space for better leadership and wellbeing.  Consistency Counts: Drawing inspiration from honeybees, Jones shows how small, steady actions can build lasting results in work and life.  Generational Lessons: Co-authoring with his daughter Sydney revealed the power of bridging perspectives—and how younger leaders approach focus, priorities, and purpose differently.  Lessons from the Hive: Honeybees model clarity, teamwork, and service to the greater good—principles leaders can adopt in their own organizations.   About Jones Laflin: Jones Loflin is a dynamic speaker, coach, and educator with over three decades of experience helping people cut through the chaos and focus on what truly matters. His career has spanned keynote stages, corporate training, and leadership coaching, where he equips individuals and organizations with practical tools to thrive.

You know it PROBABLY would be good to slow down, but you haven't.

The insights God has revealed to her are SOOoo helpful for all of us, providing VERY practical and specific ways we can partner with God to minimize stress and maximize our rest and trust in God.   I will give a trigger warning. There is infant loss in the story shared today. It is not shared without hope and the testimony of how God moved amidst this woman's life.

Welcome to a new season of Fine is a 4-Letter Word. I'm excited for today's guest because there is no better time for you to meet someone who embodies what it means to live boldly, build with purpose, and refuse to accept “fine” as a final answer. Dr. Kimberly McGlonn spent 18 years as a high school teacher, a job she loved thoroughly. She could have stayed there and finished up an amazing career. But she realized she was only reaching about 100 people a year. And she wanted to reach thousands.So Kimberly took a sabbatical and traveled to East Africa where she dove deep into creativity. She came back with a mission of starting a new breed of fashion design company she called Grant Boulevard.The first Black woman-owned B Corp in the U.S. fashion industry, her design firm aligned with a value she learned in childhood of combating disenfranchisement. Going way beyond creating eye-grabbing blouses and fashion tastemaking, this brand was interested in sustainable materiality. Focused on supply chain and procurement and climate action, but also very interested in not separating climate action from the need to take care of workers. They recruited women in the Philadelphia area whose lives had been impacted by the criminal justice system to sew the clothing, creating empowerment and opportunity.We're connecting with Kimberly just at the point where she sunsetted Grant Boulevard and is bringing to life another design company – Black Ivory Thrift. And she has taken the powerful step of writing a book to exponentially share her message of sustainability, service, and advancing the common good.So far, we've only scratched the surface. Over the next 30 minutes, you're about to discover Kimberly's fascinating story which goes into so many more areas as well!Kimberly's hype song is “New Day” by Alicia KeysResources:Dr. Kimberly McGlonn's website: https://www.drkimberlymcglonn.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkimberlymcglonn/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimberlymcglonn/ Claim your copy of “Build It Boldly” in audiobook, paperback, and e-book format by visiting the links at https://linktr.ee/builditboldlyInvitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.That's where I come in. Forward thinking companies are hiring me to produce internal podcasts. To bring leadership and employees together through authentic stories, real conversations, and meaningful connections. Think of it as your old-school printed company newsletter - reinvented for the modern workforce. I KNOW, what a cool idea, right?! If you run, work...

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the mindset and strategies business coaches need to thrive in a rapidly changing world, including the impact of AI, the critical distinction between speed of execution and idea quality, and the power of creating extraordinary client experiences. Karl brings his signature energetic wisdom—covering everything from AI use cases in daily business, the real secret to longevity both in business and life, and how subjective value trumps objective improvements in client attraction and retention. Key Topics Covered The Power of Decisiveness and Speed in Business Karl reminds listeners that coaches and their clients aren't making the money they want because they're “not making the decisions they need.” He underscores that “money loves speed” and rapid implementation with confidence is essential. Crafting a Killer Business Coaching Elevator Pitch Karl shares proven, high-energy elevator pitches—emphasizing confidence, conviction, and a “need nothing, attract everything” mindset. He provides both AI-integrated and straightforward value-proposition samples. How AI Is Supercharging (Not Replacing) Business Coaches Instead of being threatened by AI, Karl describes it as “gasoline for your coaching business.” He gives concrete use cases for AI in service businesses—such as hair salons, cafes, gyms, and florists—showing listeners how to solve real client headaches and free up time. He shares a glimpse into Focused.com's new software with 21 AI agents and warns that security must be taken seriously as AI evolves. Zen and Longevity—Personal and Professional Karl draws parallels between business and personal well-being, advocating for movement, heavy lifting, sleep tracking, and social connection. He shares insights from his own health routines and study of longevity. Using Contrast and Subjective Value to Boost Perceived Worth The discussion explores how coaches can help clients use contrast to increase perceived value—emphasizing experience, packaging, and unique delivery as less expensive and more effective than purely “objective” improvements. Real-world examples: Apple product unboxing, LOL doll packaging, and actionable ways local shops can add wow factor. Progress, Happiness, and the Journey The importance of tracking small wins and making clear, actionable targets (the “tip of the arrow” approach) is highlighted, reinforcing the idea that progress, not perfection, leads to happiness. Notable Quotes “You're not making the money you need because you're not making the decisions you need.” “Money loves speed. You gotta be fast to execute, fast to implement.” “Needing nothing attracts everything. Commission breath stinks.” “Losers play not to lose. Winners play to win. You got to play this game to win.” “Don't fear AI. It's gasoline for your coaching business—on steroids.” “The problem isn't in your situation—it's in how you relate to your situation.” “The goal is not to just live a long time, it's to have a great life.” “Packaging is subjective value—all day long, twice on Sunday.” Actionable Takeaways Decide Fast, Execute Faster: Stop waiting for the perfect idea. Make decisions, act with conviction, and course-correct as you go. Pitch From Strength and Positivity: Use a confident elevator pitch, backed by guarantees and focused on the transformative value you deliver. Run Toward AI, Not Away: View AI as your superpower—use it for automating administrative tasks, customer engagement, and value-creation for clients in specialized niches. Integrate Subjective Value: Help clients maximize perceived worth through experience, packaging, and delivery—not just making operational improvements. Track Progress and Movement: Apply the same discipline to personal well-being (movement, sleep, social connection) that you do to your business metrics. Create Unforgettable Client Experiences: Get creative with onboarding, packaging, and follow-up—making every interaction with your business memorable. Focus on Progress Over Perfection: Don't get stuck in endless preparation. Track and celebrate small wins for yourself and with clients—progress equals happiness. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software™ (by Karl Bryan/Focused.com): Find more ways to deliver ROI for clients and instantly demonstrate value. Oura Ring: For sleep and activity tracking—used by Karl for personal longevity insights. AI Applications—Focused.com's New AI Agents: Business coaching dojo with 21 integrated AI agents. Books and Thought Leaders: References to longevity experts (like Peter Attia). Packaging Inspiration: Apple product experience, LOL dolls (children's toy with remarkable packaging strategy).

What happens when a sales-focused CEO challenges everything we think we know about growing a business? Kyle Wilson doesn't just question conventional wisdom, he turns it upside down.Kyle built Yellow Diamond Logistics to $50 million in just four years by focusing on what many founders try to avoid: doing the sales himself. His secret? Identifying his highest-value activity (sales calls) and systematically delegating everything else. This laser focus created extraordinary results that most companies only dream of achieving.In our conversation, Kyle delivers a provocative message for today's business leaders: personal relationships are making a comeback while digital marketing effectiveness continues to decline. "I truly think personal relationships are back," Kyle asserts, explaining how in-person connections create trust that simply can't be replicated through digital channels. He challenges listeners to examine where their top customers actually come from; a simple exercise that often reveals surprising insights about what truly drives business growth.Now leading his second successful venture, Thrive Modal, Kyle shares why he believes hiring global talent isn't just about cost savings: it's about creating mutually beneficial relationships that transform both companies and lives. His passionate commitment to connecting Filipino professionals with US companies stems from personal experience: "I really do wake up every day and know I could not have done it with an American staff," he explains, crediting much of his success to the dedication of his global team members.Perhaps most surprising is Kyle's candid revelation about how sobriety accelerated his business growth. Being "100% present" from early morning until late evening has allowed him to maximize networking opportunities while maintaining the focus needed for effective leadership.Ready to rethink your approach to scaling? Visit thrivemodal.com to discover how Kyle's team can help you tap into global talent that might just transform your business trajectory. In this podcast you will learn how:• Defining elite success as creating value for everyone in the organization, not just personal achievement• Identifying your highest-value activity and delegating everything else• Why in-person relationships outperform digital marketing strategies for most businesses• Looking at where your top five customers came from to guide future growth efforts• Taking calculated financial risks as an essential part of entrepreneurship• Building a company with global talent that creates opportunity for everyone involved• Finding your North Star and helping employees connect with their deeper motivations• How sobriety and 100% presence accelerated business growth• The importance of CEO coaching for sustainable business successHighlights:0:00Welcome to Think Like a CEO1:48Kyle Wilson: Sales-Focused CEO5:35Personal Relationships as Competitive Advantage11:00Taking Financial Risk as an Entrepreneur16:35Building a Business That Makes More27:15The Power of Global Talent31:10Episode Closing and Call to ActionInterested in 1:1 Coaching?Kristin partners with high-performing financial advisors, leaders, and business owners who are ready to lead with more clarity, focus, and intention.Clients often come to her with a strong vision, but they aren't sure how to close the gap between where they are now and where they want to go.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 25th Publish Date: September 25th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, September 25th and Happy birthday to Michael Douglas I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lilburn, Gwinnett leaders say road realignment project will improve safety Gwinnett Library accepting applications for new Incubator Program Gwinnett County communications department earns national awards Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 4 STORY 1: Lilburn, Gwinnett leaders say road realignment project will improve safety For years, Lilburn Mayor Johnny Crist worried about that chaotic stretch of Lawrenceville Highway near Bryson Park. Three misaligned intersections—Hood Road, Lilburn School Road, and the park entrance—crammed into a quarter-mile, with no traffic lights. Drivers dodging school buses, cars turning every which way. “It was an accident waiting to happen,” Crist said. “I prayed we’d avoid fatalities.” This week, his prayers were answered. Officials cut the ribbon on a $4.3 million project: a sleek new roundabout that finally aligns the roads. Crist? Just relieved it’s done. STORY 2: Gwinnett Library accepting applications for new Incubator Program The Gwinnett County Public Library is now taking applications for its New Start Entrepreneurship Incubator (NSEI)—a program that’s changing lives, one business idea at a time. Focused on helping formerly incarcerated individuals, NSEI offers in-person classes, online coursework, and mentorship to guide participants through the tricky world of starting a business. Since launching in 2021 with Google’s support, the program has graduated 42 entrepreneurs. It all ends with Launchpad, where participants pitch their dreams—and some even win funding. STORY 3: Gwinnett County communications department earns national awards  Gwinnett County’s communications team just snagged some serious national recognition, taking home multiple Savvy Awards from 3CMA (City-County Communications and Marketing Association). These awards celebrate the best in local government storytelling, education, and community engagement—and Gwinnett’s work clearly stood out. Top honors? First place for their “Go Green” glass recycling campaign and Upfront Gwinnett: The Hidden Homeless program. They also earned nods for their transit referendum social media campaign and videos on the county budget and parks. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: Gwinnett County Public Schools Announces Local Teachers of the Year Gwinnett County Public Schools just announced its local Teachers of the Year, kicking off the journey to crown the 2027 district-wide winner. Interim Superintendent Dr. Al Taylor praised the honorees, saying, “These educators don’t just teach—they inspire, care, and transform lives. Their impact ripples far beyond the classroom.” The process? It’s no small feat. Teachers are nominated by peers, applications are reviewed, and semifinalists are chosen. By January, one will rise as the district’s top teacher. From kindergarten classrooms to high school labs, these teachers represent the heart of education. Their passion? It’s what keeps Gwinnett’s schools thriving. STORY 5: Peachtree Corners starting over on policing survey Peachtree Corners is hitting reset on its survey about creating a city police department, but let’s just say—it’s not going to be an easy sell. City Manager Brian Johnson admitted the first survey, which ran briefly this summer, was flawed. “I didn’t have a professional review it,” he said. “The questions were too simple.” And the results? Not great. About 70% of respondents opposed the idea. The proposed department would cost $12.8 million annually—more than the $9.4 million currently paid to Gwinnett County for police services. That means higher taxes for residents, which has many people saying, “No thanks.” The debate? Far from over. Break 3: And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas Break 4: We’ll have closing comments after this Break 5: CITY OF SUGAR HILL Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.
