In today's conversation, Mark, Christine, and Jon dive into a surprising—and deeply honest—topic that emerged from last summer's Ag Leaders Summit: the desire for peace. Not more success. Not more productivity. Just peace. But what does that actually mean? And how do you truly access it when your life feels like a nonstop pressure cooker?This episode is a raw, real exploration of what it looks like to break free from the chaos-driven operating system and step into a life where peace becomes the standard—not the exception.Key Takeaways:Peace is Not the Absence of Activity—It's a State of BeingMany high performers are unknowingly addicted to chaos. True peace isn't found in stillness alone, but in learning to operate from a grounded place, even when life is full.Most People Don't Know How to RestLeaders often equate peace with laziness or loss of control. But peace isn't passive—it's powerful. And it begins with re-training your nervous system to slow down and be present.False Peace vs. True FreedomWe often pacify our anxiety with temporary fixes—alcohol, work, scrolling. But real peace can only be accessed through presence, surrender, and intentional choices—not sedation.The PRAY FrameworkChristine shares a simple but powerful tool for cultivating peace:Pause (pattern interrupt)Reflect (what actually matters?)Ask (yourself, God, others)Yield (submit to the peaceful way forward)Notable Quotes:“Peace is quiet joy. And joy is peace expressed out loud.” – Christine Jewell“You can't operate from chaos and expect to produce clarity.” – Mark Jewell“Peace doesn't mean no movement. It means presence in the process.” – Christine Jewell“You're not a machine. And even machines need rest.” – Jon Anderson“We've made pressure our home base. It's time to make peace our new normal.” – Christine JewellAction Steps:Start recognizing your current operating system—are you driven by peace or by pressure?Practice the PRAY Framework daily: Pause, Reflect, Ask, YieldDefine what peace actually looks like for you—emotionally, mentally, and spirituallyRevisit Colossians 3:15—Let peace be the deciding factor in your choices this weekListen If You Are:A high-achieving leader who feels exhausted, scattered, or constantly “on”Longing for rest but unsure how to access it without guiltReady to trade anxiety and striving for clarity, peace, and presenceCurious about spiritual tools and frameworks that go deeper than quick fixesIf this episode resonated with you, join us at the next Thriving Leader Event — where intentional leadership goes from theory to practice.

If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know that I do an annual list of five unusual things to be thankful for each year during Thanksgiving week. In some cases they are my personal things – and in other cases, they are more observations of the world. In either case, I always bring the five things back around to what you can learn from them. Last year, I borrowed from what I was seeing my clients go through. This year, let's get personal. In no particular order, here we go: #1 – A lull in the action. Of course, we all need time to rest and recuperate – to rejuvenate ourselves. (I'll talk about this later.) What I found this year during a bit of a lull in my client load was the time to THINK.  I thought about the big stuff – the direction I wanted to take my business in, long-term goals, KPI's. I also thought about the small stuff – changes I wanted to make to programs, processes.  I came away from that time feeling more focused and determined. So much so, in fact, that I started building in 2 full days each quarter to work on items on my Action Plan. (aka Get Stuff Done days).  My message for you? Make sure you are allowing time in your schedule for what Stephen Covey calls Quadrant 2 activities – Important, But Not Urgent. Planning, organizing, creating the vision for your future. Whatever that looks like in your world.   #2 – Travel by myself. I did a pretty big thing this year – I took a full week of vacation, out of the country, by myself.  I had people who wanted to go with me…and people who were willing to go on their own terms. I said no to both.  As a single woman, I knew I needed to get over this fear of solo travel. What would people think? Would I be safe? Could I manage the literal heavy lifting by myself? I spent six days in a beautiful resort in the Dominican Republic. I did exactly what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. Ate when and where I wanted.  There were no other solo acts in sight. And guess what? I was perfectly okay with that. My message for you? What's your version of Solo Travel? Maybe it actually IS solo travel – or maybe it's saying yes to an activity that scares you, or saying no to something or someone that no longer serves you. Maybe it's seeking out a new position with a new company. Or starting your own business.  Calculate the risk, and if the math says to do it – jump.   #3 – Taking care of myself. I became a card-carrying member of Medicare this year, so I embarked on a massive journey to take care of some things I had put off when I had Obamacare.  Suffice it to say, there were tears of frustration throughout. I remember thinking “how do other people who perhaps aren't as intelligent as me, or have the mental faculties I have, navigate this? I spent hours upon hours following up with various medical specialists who had let my care slip through the cracks.  My message to you: Be your own best advocate. You can play the blame game – I admit to quite a bit of that this year – but you can also keep putting one foot in front of the other and get it done. Whatever it is for you – take care of yourself.   #4 – Doing the emotional dance. I'm not comfortable giving much detail here, other than to say that I learned some valuable lessons this year about how to process other people's opinions of me. How to sift through harsh feedback to determine what was valuable information for me to make changes in my life – and what was someone else's opinion of me and truly none of my business.  My message to you: Growth is rarely comfortable. It requires dissonance and discomfort – otherwise, we wouldn't see the need to grow. The real skill, as I see it, is the sifting part. Not making everything someone says to you mean something in you needs to change – and also not making everything they say mean NOTHING about you.   #5 – Saying it out loud. This one isn't really an unusual thing to be thankful for, but I wanted to include it anyway.  Somewhere along the way this year, I started telling my clients how much I appreciated them. Not in the generic sense, but in the very specific way in which they showed up in the world, in working with me, and in terms of their willingness to grow.  I've told a few clients about my three client tiers: Those I'm glad to see the back of (I'm thrilled to say I've had very, very few of these over the years), the meaty middle of clients I'm happy to work with, and the ones who make me light up when I get to interact with them (these are the only ones I tell about my tiers).  I tell them how proud I am of their willingness to change, how brave they were to reach out to someone like me in the first place, and how intentional they have been about making the changes they wanted to make.  And guess what? They open up and tell me how important I have been to them and how much they appreciate me. That they could not have done it without me.  My message to you: Tell the people in your personal and professional life how they have impacted you. Tell them about the growth you've seen in them. Let them know how you feel about them. Say it out loud. I bet you'll hear it right back. Everybody wins.   I hope you have some type of year-end review and planning for next year coming up. An opportunity for you to review what went well and not so well in 2024 – and the changes you want to make for 2025. Then map out the specific steps you'll take to get there, because a goal without a plan is just a wish.  Then go make 2025 full of unusual things to be thankful for!   Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day?

Jessie thanks a teacher who encouraged her writing, despite a tricky problem. And Holly asks if their life MO extended to following the instructions when playing with LEGO® -- or did they go full rogue and make their own creations?

The Greens pulled off an all-time best performance in the 2024 General Election, doubling their vote share to a historic high of 6.4% and winning four MPs. But can they handle the transition from outsiders to effective Parliamentary party? How do they square the need to remake Britain as a low-carbon economy and the traditional Green suspicion of development? And can they peel away disillusioned left voters from Labour?

“Get stuff done.” How many times has this been your mindset to start the day, only to be derailed by the multitude of tasks faced at a nonprofit. Greg shares three tips to become incredibly more efficient in your work.

This is the third of a 3 part series on overcoming overwhelm at home. Last week I reviewed how prioritizing the way we're taught actually makes us feel more overwhelmed and how you can prioritize instead so that you get stuff done. Today's microscopic home organizing topic is creating a dependable system that will capture all the thoughts, ideas and to-do's that cross your mind. The whole concept of a capture system is what I had been looking for seemingly forever, but until I found it I didn't know it's what I needed or that I was even looking for it. Are you like… what was that?! With a capture system I don't stress or get overwhelmed as often.  As someone who is or feels like they're just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right?  In order to make that happen you'll have to do something different than you've done before or what society tells us. Instead of allowing overwhelm to rule your life and make you feel anxious and frustrated, you can create a capture system so that you have something you can depend on to capture all your thoughts, ideas and to-do's. In this episode I'll share the components of a capture system, the only tool I use within my capture system and how you can implement the same thing or something similar. If you want to bounce ideas off of someone to help you develop your own capture system, one that YOU can depend on. I'm happy to help.

Sometimes without realising it, we lapse back into old behaviours.Sometimes we're hot and we're cold.Getting dressed to do a workout and returning emails instead.Arriving late to an event with no clear reason as to why.Behaviours we've worked hard to change, sometimes rear their ugly heads.This is what happens when choices we make in a hot state (In the heat of the moment) differ from intentions we have in a cold state (when we are able to reflect on the alignment of our actions and our values).It's when we're in a hot state that we make poor decisions that often lead to shame spirals, frustration or negative outcomes.Osher reflects on making choices when we're in cold states in the hope that we can stay on track and choose things more in alignment with our original intention.

I am often asked, “How do you accelerate your career?” According to a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management, 72% of employees ranked opportunities for career advancement as one of the top factors influencing their job satisfaction. While job security and stability are important, the true measure of success lies in continuously expanding your skill set, seizing opportunities for advancement, and positioning yourself as a sought-after asset in the marketplace. By prioritizing personal development, strategic networking, and impactful contributions, you can pave the way for a fulfilling and rewarding career journey that transcends traditional notions of indispensability in the workplace. With this understanding in mind, here are five essential strategies to help you accelerate your career: 1. Get Stuff Done and Be Easy to Work With: The first step to becoming indispensable is mastering two key traits: being highly productive and fostering positive working relationships. Strive to consistently deliver high-quality work on time while maintaining a collaborative and supportive demeanor. By being known as someone who gets things done efficiently and collaborates effectively with others, you'll quickly become indispensable to your team and organization. 2. Avoid Gossip and Complaints: Gossip and complaints can poison the workplace environment, erode trust, and damage relationships. Focus on maintaining a positive and professional demeanor. Be someone who uplifts others, fosters a culture of respect, and addresses concerns directly and constructively. You demonstrate professionalism and integrity by steering clear of gossip and complaints, making yourself indispensable as a trusted and reliable colleague. 3. Focus on Continuous Growth and Learning: Indispensable employees seek growth and improvement opportunities. Invest in expanding the skills, knowledge, and expertise relevant to your role and industry. Stay abreast of industry trends and developments and be proactive in seeking new challenges and learning opportunities. Try new things, take on projects that stretch you, or put in for a role that allows you to learn something new or a different area of the business. By continuously growing and evolving, you position yourself as a valuable asset capable of adapting to the organization's changing needs 4. Excel in Your Role: whether you're a specialist with deep expertise in a particular area or a generalist with a broad range of skills, the key to indispensability lies in excelling in your role. 5. Build a Strong Professional Network: Cultivate relationships with colleagues, mentors, and industry professionals who can support and advocate for you throughout your career. Actively seek out opportunities to collaborate with others, share knowledge, and contribute to the success of your network. B Accelerating your career trajectory requires standing out and consistently adding unique value. By honing essential skills, maintaining a positive attitude, committing to continuous growth, cultivating specialized expertise, and fostering a robust professional network, you not only solidify your position within the organization but also propel your personal and professional advancement. Becoming indispensable isn't just about job security; it's about becoming a driving force of innovation and success, both for yourself and your organization.

Rachel Stanley came to Banzai in 2019 with over 10 years of SaaS onboarding, training, implementation, consulting, e-Learning, customer success, adoption and support experience. When Rachel joined Banzai, Customer Success was the only customer-facing job function.  Since then, Rachel has added Onboarding, Support and Customer Marketing successfully creating a Customer Experience organization that has driven best-in-industry customer satisfaction and grown Banzai's Net Retention Rate (NRR) significantly. Rachel is passionate about building high functioning teams that consistently hit their objectives. Previously, Rachel has held roles at Amazon and ACS Technologies. Rachel lives in the Seattle area.   Questions · Now, we always like to give our guests an opportunity to share a little bit about their journey. So, could you share with our listeners, how it is that you got from where you were to where you are today? · Now, could you tell our listeners a little bit about Banzai and what you guys do? · Banzai focus is really on events and your target is really your marketers are your customers. What would you say are some of your customers main pain points? How is it that you're able to overcome some of those and successfully have a high retention rate because ideally, that's what all organizations aim for, to keep the customers that they have for a lifetime. · Now, seeing that you've been in the Customer Success space for quite some time now, what are some of the emerging trends that you are seeing in the Customer Success space that you believe if that trend continues in a positive way will help to enhance customer experience? · Now, Rachel, can you also share with us what's the one online tool, resource, website or application that you absolutely cannot live without in your business? · Could you also share with us maybe one or two books that you've read, it could be a book that you read recently, or even one that you read a very long time ago, but it has had a great impact on you, and maybe even your development and just your continued growth? · Could you also share with our listeners, what's the one thing that is going on in your life right now that you are really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. · Now, our listeners would have tapped into this episode, and they're quite intrigued with you, Rachel and they'd like to know how they can reach out to you online where can they find you online? · Now, before we wrap our episodes up, we always like to ask our guests if you have a quote or a saying maybe something that you revert to or use if during times of adversity or challenge, this quote kind of helps to just get you back on track or get you back refocused. Do you have one of those? Highlights  Rachel's Journey Me: Now, we always like to give our guests an opportunity to share a little bit about their journey. So, could you share with our listeners, how it is that you got from where you were to where you are today?   Rachel shared that beginning of her career, she was actually an office manager for many years and an Executive Assistant. So, her customer base was very internal. And then she took the opportunity at ACS Technologies to apply for, she was an Executive Assistant office manager and applied for a onboarding, like specialist or an onboarding role. And so, that was her introduction into customer facing. And from there, it just kind of took off. She went from onboarding to an actual, like implementation consultants, than she ended up leading that team. And so, they mainly focus on training and implementation professional services.  And then coming into Banzai, was really when she wanted to break into customer success, it was still kind of new back then, it's really developed over the years. But at Banzai in the last five years, she's just grown so much, thankfully, there's so many resources like this podcast out there that really explore all the areas of customer experience. So, at Banzai, like Yanique just said, it basically grew from customer success, and then added onboarding and adoption and support and customer marketing has been the latest addition.   About Rachel's Company – Banzai Me: Now, could you tell our listeners a little bit about Banzai and what you guys do?   Rachel shared that Banzai is a Mar Tech company. So, they're all about providing tools that give marketers data. And so, right now, their products are mostly event focused, they have a webinar platform, and then a platform/service that drives registrations to field marketing events. But they are this year is really exciting and they're looking at a bunch of different acquisitions that they're mainly focused on how to provide data to marketers. So, they have visions of becoming a platform that has a tonne of tools for marketers to become a Banzai customer. So, for her this year, cross sell is a big focus.    Strategies for Enhancing Customer Retention in Event Marketing Me: So, Banzai focus is really on events, as you said, and your target is really your marketers are your customers. What would you say are some of your customers main pain points? How is it that you're able to overcome some of those and as I mentioned when I was reading your bio, successfully have a high retention rate because ideally, that's what all organizations aim for, to keep the customers that they have for a lifetime.   Rachel shared that she'll specifically talk about their webinar platform customers, because that's the bulk of their business at the moment. So, the problem they often come to them, she would say most have already at least started a webinar programme, some customers are just starting but their main segment or ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) is mid-market, so most of them have done a webinar programme before but it's been clunky, they feel like their other platform wasn't engaging, and they didn't know how to prove the ROI of their webinar platform.  And so, what they really focus on is, thankfully, their platform is super easy, super clean, and all of that. So, they obviously want to make sure they use all of the features, all of the engaging features to help their audience engage more, but then they also point out all the data they have on the back end that helps them prove the ROI. And so, since their customers are marketers, they're obviously, most of their objectives are providing MQLs (Marketing Qualified Lead) and things like that.  And so, things like their focus rate, like being able to see who was the most engaged in a webinar really can provide like a lead score for them, and then push people over to sales and provide MQLs. And so, that's really where she thinks instead of just kind of letting them just get on the webinar platform and just run a webinar, they're really focused on how to improve the webinar, how to make it more engaging, and how to deliver the data that helps them move those prospects to the next stage of the opportunity.   Emerging Trends to Enhance Customer Success Now, seeing that you've been in the Customer Success space for quite some time now, what are some of the emerging trends that you are seeing in the Customer Success space that you believe if that trend continues in a positive way will help to enhance customer's experience…..generally speaking?   Rachel shared that that's a great question. She thinks internally, like the trend that we're all kind of looked at and focusing on is AI. And so, how can we utilize AI? And she thinks all of us, especially people that work in customer experience, we tend to all really care about people, like we have a lot of empathy, there's definitely like a persona.  And so, she thinks there's some concern in the AI space that like we don't want to be replaced by robots, or probably any function is worried about that. And so, she's trying to learn as much as she can about AI and explore different tools and how it's being implemented. And what she thinks is, we really need to lean into how AI can help us be more efficient, but not replace us, like how can AI free up more of our time to focus on our customers and make sure they're getting the most value out of our product or service?  And so, what she's seeing right now, like with support is, AI can help find an answer quicker, or kind of write a draft of a response to a customer, instead of just like, automatically sending a response to a customer like we've all had the experience of calling in, and they're like asking you to say and it's a robot, like asking you to say what your problem is, and you end up kind of screaming at the phone asking to talk to a representative. That's not the experience she wants for their customers.  And so, what they're leaning into is more like internal efficiencies and she thinks what that allows, it's good for morale, too, because freeing up time allows people to lean into their sweet spots and what they're passionate about, and what she's seeing with CSM (Customer Service Management) specifically is allowing them to spend more time on things like a QBR or just checking in on a customer or joining one of their webinars, things like that. And so, she thinks that's a positive that if we can keep freeing up more time, then that's a trend she wants to continue to lean into.   App, Website or Tool that Rachel Absolutely Can't Live Without in Her Business When asked about an online resource that she cannot live without, Rachel shared that Intercom for them, that's the tool they use for their Support Chat. It also allows them to do like in app pop ups, it could be anything from like a banner announcement to a survey, or announcing a feature release, things like that. It's what allows them to provide fast 24/7 support. For us a webinar, they have customers around the world, and they believe 24/7 support is essential because if something's wrong, it's super stressful in the moment, like, imagine if this podcast was live and there's a technical difficulty. So, Intercom is what allows them to do that and what allows their customer marketing to advertise things, but it's also like how they do like in app onboarding like a product tour when new customers initially joined. So, it's an essential tool for them.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Rachel  When asked about books that have had a great impact, Rachel shared that over like the Christmas and New Year's break, she read two books that have really kind of framed a theme for her this year. And it's Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown and The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done by Kendra Adachi. And both of them aren't necessarily like business books. So, she likes books like that, that you can apply to your personal life and to work. And they kind of have a similar theme and actually though, she read The Lazy Genius Way first, and in that book, or maybe it's her podcast, but she recommended Essentialism.  She said, she reads it reads it once a year and basically Essentialism talks all about doing less but better. And The Lazy Genius Way, her tagline is “being a genius about the things that matter, and lazy about the things that don't.” And so, going into this year with her team, she's just really been talking about like an essentialist mindset. And it goes back to even her original customer facing days of training where she talked a lot about first you focus on what's essential, then what's important, then what's helpful, like when training the customer, and she thinks they can apply that with their own workload, like her team's job is never done, there's always something they could be doing more and better and they get a lot thrown at them. And so, to help with overwhelm and burnout, then focus on okay, but what's essential, like what's essential today, what's essential this quarter for them to hit their objectives and their goals? And it's really been helpful for her personally, and for every member of her team.    What Rachel is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something that she's really excited about, Rachel shared that at the risk of repeating herself, it really is essentialism, even in her personal life, she's trying to just shed doubt, like even parenting, it's kind of like a minimalist in a way but a little bit different. So, she's trying to simplify her life and really focus on the things that are going to make the biggest difference like personally, she's trying to exercise more and eat less sugar like things like that that are essential. And then at work, she's really been focused on like picking the three things that she has to do, like the most essential things in a day and trying to let go of creating a to do list that's 20 things long and feeling like she failed when she didn't do it at the end of the day.   Me: That's a good one. She shared that which is definitely her old way of operating and so ending the day feeling successful is way better.   Me: I agree, especially if psychologically you've conditioned your mind that if the list is smaller and definitely you've done in chunks and more manageable, then it makes it more realistic and provides you with a better transition from day to day, because as you said, you don't feel like you have failed and you feel successful going into the next day.    Where Can We Find Rachel Online  LinkedIn – Rachel Stanley Website – www.banzai.io   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Rachel Uses When asked about a quote or saying that she tends to revert to, Rachel shared that she's going to stick to kind of the theme of the last few questions and because she really does go back to the two quotes of the books she mentioned. Because her biggest weakness is more being a perfectionist and an overachiever. So, “Do less but better.” and basically, “Be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.” It's okay to be lazy.   Me: I love it. Well, Rachel, thank you so much for taking time and coming on our podcast and sharing all of these great insights, sharing about your company, Banzai and also about customer success, and some of the trends as it relates to AI that you believe should continue definitely to free up people's time.

How much time have you spent thinking about the things you need to do instead of actually doing the thing? Perhaps you find yourself endlessly scrolling social media and suddenly find hours have gone by, when there's far more pressing things to get done… We've all been there!The word ‘procrastination' carries negative connotations, but often it isn't anything to do with laziness or a lack of motivation.

In today's episode, I'll be discussing research-backed information around procrastination, uncovering what is actually at the root of this habit, sharing with you how to identify your triggers, and exploring how to finally break free from procrastination and get things done - even on days when you don't feel like it! I'll also be sharing with you some mindset shifts and actionable steps on how you take action before you have the motivation. If you want to uncover the secrets to breaking through that procrastination barrier, this is the episode for you. And I'd love to hear from you and encourage you on this journey.

Where are my fellow control freaks? Such an interesting and way more helpful perspective to rethink and redefine perfectionism. You know when you read a book and it's so groundbreaking and helpful, you can't help but tell all your friends, post about it? Well, I was the recipient of essentially being attacked on all sides that I needed to read this award-winning book, The Perfectionists' Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler. Katherine is a seasoned psychotherapist and former in-house therapist for Google, with a BA in psychology from Berkeley and 2 masters from Columbia University and I've got her incredibly refreshing and game-changing approach broken down today.
