Life is full of crossroads. Jobs. Moves. Relationships. Direction. Many Christians stress over decision-making because they fear missing God's will. Pastor Jeff and Tiffany discuss how Scripture shows God guiding His people through everyday decisions with wisdom and steadiness. They discuss the four steps that bring clarity and peace, and the five “landing lights” that help believers discern God's voice with confidence. What We Discussed04:11 Double-Mindedness and Spiritual InstabilityJames 1 describes wavering between decisions as “double-mindedness.” He compares it to staggering like a drunk; anxious, unsure, and unstable.05:08 The Wrong Ways We Try to Find God's WillCommon but misguided approaches people use are waiting for emotional tingles, relying on formulas, or looking for mystical signs written in the sky. These methods don't reflect how God normally guides His people.07:00 Four Steps for Discerning God's WillAdmit you need a guide; God leads the humble, not the self-reliant. Ask in faith for direction and listen for God's response. Trust God when you don't understand14:19 The Five Landing Lights of God's GuidancePastor Jeff walks through the five markers that help confirm God's direction:Landing Light #1: A Multitude of Godly CounselorsLanding Light #2: Personal DesiresLanding Light #3: The Peace of the Holy SpiritLanding Light #4: External CircumstancesLanding Light #5: The Word of God22:14 Step 4: Trust God When You Don't UnderstandGod rarely shows the full plan. He often gives light only for the next step. Trust becomes essential when the future is unclear. 23:41 God's Will Is Not HiddenGod delights in guiding His people. The same Shepherd who leads is the One who laid down His life, so His guidance can be trusted fullyBook: Making Life Decisions: Journey in Discernment by Geoff Pound“The Shepherd who directs your steps is the same Shepherd who laid down His life for you.

Host Kevin and Alan break down why most people never escape the loop that keeps them underperforming, even when they're capable of far more. They reveal the hidden pattern behind stalled confidence, inconsistent action, and the identity traps that quietly shape your results for years. Through real stories, early speaking failures, and thousands of coaching reps, they show how belief, behavior, and self-awareness interact and why the wrong loop will shrink your entire life without you noticing.This isn't motivation. It's the framework that changed their trajectory and continues to guide high performers who want results that match their potential.Digital Asset: Confidence Framework - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e6VZopl8JamCbS4jr9c0Tncrff5MOm1T/view?usp=drive_link Learn more about:Join our private Facebook community, “Next Level Nation,” to grow alongside people who are committed to improvement. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700Think deeper, grow faster.

You've identified the problem. You understand the instinct gap. Now it's time to fix it.In the first two episodes of this series, we talked about why financial content isn't creating change and introduced the conative mind, the missing piece that explains why people don't take action even when they know what to do. We showed you how your natural way of taking action as a financial professional is likely very different from your clients' instincts, and how that mismatch creates friction.Today, we're giving you the solution. A three-step framework you can apply right away to your content, your coaching, and your conversations.This is the Action-Ready Framework, and it's designed to bridge the instinct gap by flipping the starting point. Instead of coaching from your instincts, you match theirs. And when you do, everything shifts.Clients feel seen and understood. They take action confidently. They ask more questions and engage more deeply. They convert and stick around because they're getting real results.In this episode, we walk through each step of the framework with practical examples you can use immediately. We show you what happens when your coaching matches your clients' natural way of taking action. And we bring it all back to what this series has been about from the start: buy-in.Because the best strategy isn't the one that looks best on paper. It's the one your client will stick with because they believe in it. Buy-in is the real metric of success.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupRegister for How to Create Buy-In: Designing Financial Experiences That StickKey Takeaways:Start with "just enough to start" and layer in complexity. Instead of giving clients everything they need to know upfront, give them the most relevant information only and build in detail slowly as they need it.Focus on phases or outcomes, not every step. Clients need to see where they're headed, but they don't need every micro-task spelled out in advance. Leave room for feedback, flexibility, and iteration. Frame your guidance as one possible starting point and openly invite clients to modify it to fit their reality. Something not working isn't a mistake, it's valuable input.Your new motto is "less, simpler, sooner." Where your instinct might be to give more detail, more structure, more preparation, what actually gets most people moving is less, simpler, sooner.When clients feel seen and understood, they take action confidently. Honoring their instincts doesn't diminish your expertise—it amplifies it.Buy-in is the real metric of success. The more bought in someone is, the more creative they are when things get tough, the faster they take action, and the longer they stick with it.The best strategy is the one that creates the most buy-in for the client. Financial calculators don't account for buy-in, but buy-in is what determines whether clients actually execute the plan.

What is consciousness, really - and why have centuries of science and philosophy still not resolved it? In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, Dr Tevin Naidu is joined by Dr Elly Vintiadis, philosopher at the intersection of mind, cognitive science, psychiatry, and metaphysics. Together, we explore the foundations, limits, and future of theories of consciousness - and why our scientific worldview may need a major conceptual upgrade.This episode is part of a special series in collaboration with the Mind-at-Large Project: a three-year international initiative, spanning conferences, films, and media, investigating consciousness and its role in reality. It seeks to challenge the prevailing materialist paradigm and expand our understanding of mind across scales, from neurons to ecosystems, from individuals to the cosmos itself. A collaboration between philosophers, scientists, and scholars rethinking the nature of consciousness, reality, and beyond.

Send us a textThere is a massive difference between being polite and being strategic.Most women leaders are courteous. They say "thank you" and acknowledge hard work. But most miss the specific leadership opportunity that separates middle management from executive leadership: Strategic Appreciation.Real influence isn't just about delivering results; it's about building a network of professional goodwill that becomes currency when you need it most. When you shift from generic gratitude to specific, impact-focused recognition, you stop being just "nice" and start positioning yourself as a leader who understands outcomes and elevates the people around you.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele breaks down exactly how to use strategic appreciation to strengthen relationships and build your leadership brand. With Thanksgiving week approaching, there is no better time to implement this low-stakes, high-impact strategy.In this episode, you will learn:The "Polite vs. Strategic" Trap: Why generic "thanks for all you do" emails are noise, not leadership, and how to shift your approach.The 5 Categories of Influence: The specific people you need to appreciate this week (including the one category most women overlook).The 3-Part Framework: A simple formula for writing recognition messages that land with impact and make you memorable.Career Positioning: How this 10-minute practice signals executive presence and gets you advocated for in rooms you aren't in.Next Steps:This Week's Assignment: Identify 3-5 people from the categories discussed in the episode and send them a message using the 3-Part Framework before the holiday break.About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan welcomes back bestselling author and communication expert Chris Fenning, whose latest book Effective Meetings offers leaders a refreshingly simple framework to cut meeting time by 30% or more. Chris unpacks the hidden cost of poorly-run meetings—billions in wasted dollars, lost morale, and decision fatigue—and explains why the real issue is a lack of training, not bad intentions. Together, Avetis and Chris break down the deceptively powerful TPO method (Topic, Purpose, Output), showing leaders how to transform recurring time drains into high-impact, action-oriented conversations.From the pitfalls of daily stand-ups to the myth of the “must-attend” calendar invite, Chris shares real-world stories, practical examples, and organizational case studies (like Shopify's Chaos Monkey) that show how eliminating unnecessary meetings isn't just possible—it's urgent. Whether you're a startup founder drowning in back-to-back Zooms or a Fortune 30 exec looking to sharpen your team's focus, this episode is packed with actionable advice you can apply today.TakeawaysTPO (Topic, Purpose, Output) is the foundational framework for running effective meetings.A meeting invite with no context is like a court summons—rude and unproductive.The #1 reason meetings fail? Lack of a clear purpose—not missing agendas.“No agenda, no attendance" is a viable policy to filter out low-value invites.Recurring meetings often lose relevance over time—reevaluate them regularly.Many meetings should be emails—ask if the meeting requires real-time, multi-person input.Decision-making meetings must include actual decision-makers or become planning sessions.Multitasking in meetings is usually a sign people shouldn't be there or are disengaged.The “Inverse Time Rule”: if a topic only affects a few people, it should take minimal time.Leaders should experiment: cut one-hour weeklies to bi-weeklies and watch productivity rise.Post-meeting follow-ups are faster and clearer when the output is clearly defined.Clarity is leadership—clear asks beat backstories and long-winded explanations.Chapters00:00 – Intro: The Meeting Problem01:30 – Why Most Meetings Fail03:15 – Topic, Purpose, Output (TPO) Framework06:00 – Writing Better Meeting Invites08:00 – The Power of Saying No to Bad Meetings10:00 – Recurring Meetings: Fix or Kill Them11:45 – When a Meeting Shouldn't Be a Meeting17:00 – How to Restructure Recurring Meetings21:00 – Real Case Study: Cutting Meetings at Scale25:00 – The Truth About Daily Stand-Ups27:00 – TPO in Action: Before, During, and After31:00 – AI's Role in Meeting Efficiency33:00 – Why Clarity is the Cornerstone of Leadership35:00 – Helping Others Get to the Point Faster42:00 – Goal, Problem, Solution: The Efficient Ask45:00 – Why Experts Often Over-Explain48:00 – What's Changed Since Chris's First Book49:30 – Favorite Book Recommendation: The Culture Map51:00 – Final Thoughts & Call to ActionChris Fenning's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-fenning/Chris Fenning's Website Link:https://chrisfenning.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Dr. Kerry Burnight, a gerontologist and author of JoySpan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. They discuss the concept of "JoySpan," which emphasizes the importance of quality of life over mere longevity. Dr. Burnight introduces her four-pronged matrix for thriving in later life: Grow, Connect, Adapt, and Give. The conversation also touches on overcoming internalized ageism and the significance of maintaining a growth mindset as we age.About KerryDr. Kerry Burnight is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author and nationally recognized gerontologist whose life's work celebrates the gift of growing older. For eighteen years, Professor Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology at the University of California, Irvine, and co-founded the nation's first Elder Abuse Forensic Center.Known as America's Gerontologist, she blends science with soul by translating cutting-edge longevity research into practical, heart-centered ways to live with vitality, connection, and purpose. Building upon the lifespan and healthspan literature, she coined the term joyspan - the quality of a long life.  The joysan framework is a proven approach to deepening love, curiosity, vitality, and meaning.Kerry Burnight's work has been featured in The New York Times, CBS Mornings, Oprah Daily, NBC News, Time Magazine, BBC, and CNN. Growing older is not the end of your story, it is the fullest expression of it.Key TakeawaysFocusing too much on longevity can neglect quality of life. Many older adults live long and stay healthy yet still feel unhappy.The American Psychological Association defines joy as “a feeling of extreme gladness, delight, or exaltation of the spirit arising from a sense of well-being or satisfaction”. Joy is not about being happy all the time—it's a deeper sense of contentment. Unlike happiness, which often depends on external circumstances, joy is rooted in well-being and internal satisfaction.The four-pronged matrix for JoySpan is Grow, Connect, Adapt, and Give. Curiosity is the catalyst of growth.Research shows that genetics will predict less than 25 % of how we age. As you get older, you care less about others' opinions and gain stronger emotional regulation, with fewer intense ups and downs. There's more appreciation for beauty, relationships, ordinary pleasures, humility, andspirituality. Aging also boosts integration between brain hemispheres, offering improved problem solving and deeper self-acceptance.The multi-billion dollar anti-aging industry profits from the “aging is bad” narrative telling us to fear getting older and to use their products to stop aging.

Episode Overview In Part 2 of this 6-part Power Hour series, John Kitchens and Joel continue building the Agent to CEO Framework by diving into Milestone 2: Charting the Course — the vision, values, purpose, and long-term direction that every real estate business needs before it can scale. If Part 1 helped you find clarity on where you stand, Part 2 shows you how to define where you're going and build the strategic foundation your future growth will stand on. John and Joel walk through the process of creating your core values, articulating your core purpose, and crafting a 10-year BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) that aligns your team, filters decisions, and keeps you focused when the market — and your emotions — shift. If you've ever struggled with team alignment, inconsistent decision-making, hiring the wrong people, or constantly shifting strategies, this episode gives you the structure to set a direction your entire organization can follow with confidence. Key Topics Covered The Agent to CEO Framework How Milestone 2 builds on the clarity gained in Part 1 Why vision is the strategic anchor of the entire Agent to CEO process The role of values, purpose, and BHAG in building a scalable organization Building Your Core Values Why core values must be discovered, not invented Using frustration, peak performance moments, and "hire/fire tests" to uncover your real values How values become the filters for decision-making, culture, and hiring Why 3–5 values create clarity — and anything more creates confusion Defining Your Core Purpose Understanding the emotional driver behind your business Why teams lose direction without a clearly articulated purpose How purpose helps you attract the right people and repel the wrong ones The difference between a mission statement and a motivating purpose Creating Your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) The four types of BHAG: Target, Competitive, Role Model, and Internal Transformation Why thinking in 10-year timelines creates freedom, not pressure How a BHAG aligns your team and simplifies strategic planning Turning a long-term goal into a vivid, inspiring future your people can see Aligning Your Team Around the Vision Why vision must be communicated, repeated, and embedded into daily operations How to turn your vision into a "decision compass" for every level of the business Why teams fail without clarity on where the business is going How to bring your values and BHAG into hiring, onboarding, and accountability Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO Process – Milestone 2: Charting the Course Start With Why by Simon Sinek Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy Good to Great by Jim Collins Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway Before you build systems, scale teams, or step out of production… you must chart the course. Vision, values, purpose, and a 10-year BHAG give your business direction, alignment, and the foundation to grow without breaking. "As a CEO, your job is to show your team the mountain.

In this episode of the Great Leaders UK series, we welcome Emma Maslen, author, angel investor, and founder of inspir'em. Emma draws on her successful career in large organizations like SAP and BMC to discuss the crucial difference between theoretical playbooks and their real-world, behavioral application. She stresses that the playbook is a framework to drive curiosity and risk mitigation, not a tick-box exercise. Emma also shares why networking is a constant professional necessity, detailing the common mistakes people make and how leaders can intentionally build their networks to gain knowledge and accelerate their careers.  

In this episode of Between Product and Partnerships, Cristina Flaschen speaks with Therese Stowell, VP of Product Launch at Anaplan, about what it takes to design scalable, repeatable product launch systems inside fast-moving SaaS organizations. Therese shares her nonlinear career journey, from Microsoft engineer, to artist, to product leader, and how that diverse background shaped her systems-driven, people-centric approach to orchestrating product launches across a complex enterprise.A Systems Approach to Product LaunchEarlier in her career, Therese was asked to fix a recurring challenge familiar to many SaaS companies - products that didn't generate meaningful revenue, features stuck in beta, and launches that left go-to-market teams scrambling. Working with a technical program manager, she developed an Alpha - Beta - GA framework that introduced clear milestones, stronger decision-making, and alignment across product, marketing, sales, enablement, support, and services.That experience led her to Anaplan, where the sheer volume of innovation required a dedicated function to “tune the revenue engine.” As Therese describes it, product launch isn't just about getting a feature out the door, it's about coordinating every part of the organization so the product lands with clarity and customer value.Cross-Functional Alignment and the Real Work of LaunchingTherese outlines two parallel tracks that determine whether a launch succeeds:Go-to-market readiness. Translating product insights into pitch decks, messaging, and enablementTechnical readiness. Ensuring presales, professional services, and support teams understand how the product works under the hoodBecause these streams mature at different times, communication and cross-functional orchestration become essential. Therese also shares how introducing a new “production release” milestone (separate from GA) helped set better customer expectations and create a more reliable internal rhythm.A Framework for Better LaunchesTherese breaks down her repeatable approach to designing and improving launch processes:Discovery. Understand engineering's release lifecycle and gather cross-functional requirementsDesign. Translate a long list of tasks into a coherent, sequenced plan with defined decision pointsBuild & Iterate. Start small, gather feedback, and refine continuously instead of waiting for a perfect processScaling Launch at AnaplanAnaplan's rapid innovation pace required Therese to expand the product launch function, adopt proper project management tooling, and build reporting that helped each department manage its workload. With 30+ concurrent launches, her team introduced efficiency practices, such as agenda-based meeting participation, to reduce thrash and ensure alignment without unnecessary meetings.Looking AheadTherese's advice? While process and tooling matter, at least half of a successful launch comes down to people. Transparent communication, early involvement, collaboration, and guiding teams through behavioral change are what allow launch processes to take root and scale across an organization.For more insights on partnerships, ecosystems, and integrations, visit www.pandium.com To learn more about Anaplan and their product innovation, visit www.anaplan.com

What if real success came from the relationships you build, not the leads you chase? In this episode, I talk with Michael Whitehouse, whose nontraditional path taught him to think differently and trust his own curiosity. As we explore his journey—from big pivots to building a global network—Michael breaks down why relationship capital matters, how his Nine Pillars framework guides entrepreneurs, and why ethical, human-centered coaching makes all the difference. I walked away feeling renewed, and I think you will too, because Michael reminds us that being unstoppable begins with choosing connection and staying a lifelong learner. Highlights: 00:10Learn how early experiences can shape your ability to think independently. 02:27See why following your own path can create long-term confidence. 05:00Understand how conversations can become meaningful opportunities. 06:34Discover how unexpected changes can open new directions in your work. 09:29Learn how shifting your approach can create new streams of growth. 11:20See how questioning norms can redefine your professional identity. 13:04Understand why relationship capital often matters more than selling. 18:45Learn how asking honest questions can build stronger connections. 25:59Discover why accessibility expands your audience and impact. 32:11Explore how virtual spaces can deepen your global relationships. 39:23Understand how identifying the real issue can simplify your business. 43:30Learn why speaking your client's language improves your results. 47:49See what ethical coaching looks like from a practical perspective. 52:32Understand how integrity protects your reputation and value. 57:24Discover how a service-first mindset makes networking easier and more authentic. About the Guest: Michael had earned his first international vacation through hard work and sales success—seven days in Punta Cana, scheduled for March 31st, 2020. But instead of sandy beaches, he was met with shutdowns. COVID had just taken hold, cancelling both his trip and rapidly dismantling his work as a magazine publisher. Determined not to go down with the ship, Michael tapped into his networking skills and began exploring online business. He started by adapting his sales skills to the digital world, eventually earning his coaching certification and discovering his true calling: helping others find clarity and success. But launching an online business wasn't easy. The resources available were all hyper-niched, and no one was teaching the foundational skills needed to get started. So Michael did the hard work—learning through trial, error, and over 3,000 conversations with entrepreneurs. Four years later, Michael reached his first 6-figure year and created the Nine Foundational Questions of Business, a framework that helps entrepreneurs identify what's missing in their business. Today, he provides the very kind of support he wishes had existed when he started—guiding new entrepreneurs through the chaos toward clarity and growth. Ways to connect with Michael**:** LinkedIn:

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Alejandra Rojas, entrepreneur, Forbes contributor, and founder of Brown Way to Money, a financial mentoring platform that helps women overcome financial trauma and improve their relationship with money. Alejandra's story is such a powerful reminder that financial freedom isn't just about numbers, it's about emotional healing, self-awareness, and redefining success on your own terms. Originally from Colombia, Alejandra left home at 19 on a scholarship and went on to live and study in Spain, the U.S., and New Zealand. She shares how her journey from financial burnout in Washington D.C. to finding balance in New Zealand completely changed how she views money, success, and happiness. We talk about what it means to truly know yourself with money, and how understanding your emotional patterns can help you build wealth that feels aligned and sustainable. Alejandra also breaks down her B.R.O.W.N. Framework, a tool she uses to help women heal from financial trauma and create lasting change. In This Episode I Discuss: How Alejandra's global journey and scholarships shaped her view of money and opportunity The moment she realized her financial burnout was connected to deeper emotional patterns What she learned about consumer culture and self-worth while living in the U.S. How life in New Zealand helped her slow down, reconnect, and build a new definition of success Watch the video to this episode on YouTube below or click here.
