This episode is part of a 12 days of Christmas read-along of the Selling Like We're Human book, recorded in 2021. The book follows a similar concept to what you're already used to here on the Humane Marketing show with the 7Ps of Humane Marketing and the Marketing Like We're Human book: we start with the being and then go into the doing. The 3 parts of the Selling Like We're Human book are : Being, Knowing and Doing (compared to Rumble, Rise and Resonate of the Marketing Like We're Human book) Today I'm reading a small section of Part 1 on BEING, Chapter 2 called 'Clear your Own Objections:'     Excerpt from Selling Like We're Human, Part 1: BEING, Chapter 2: Clear Your Own Sales Objections   Ground Yourself in Your Own Worth Often, the two terms ‘self-worth' and ‘self-esteem', are used interchangeably. But they are actually not the same and there's a reason we start with selfworth. Self-worth is the foundation. Remember the big tree in the middle of our secret garden? The reason that tree stands so beautiful and proud is because it's grounded, thanks to its roots and its strong trunk. That's what self-worth does: it grounds you and makes you believe that you're fundamentally worthy. The Cambridge Dictionary defines self-worth as “the value you give to your life and achievements.” Whereas self-esteem comes after self-worth, and it is about feeling confident and feeling good about yourself. Without going into too much detail, since that's beyond the scope of this book, low self-worth is caused by two main reasons: 1. Wounds caused by childhood trauma; and 2. Self-protection to shield us from our fears. Core wounds often lead to underlying beliefs that we carry about ourselves, things like “I'm bad,” “I'm stupid,” “I'm fat,” and “I don't deserve to be happy.” To work on core wounds, you need more than a few pages in a book. If that's something you're dealing with, please see a licensed therapist to help you work through that. The second reason is the one that we want to take a closer look at here. What's that fear we're protecting ourselves from in the context of selling? The fear of rejection and abandonment from others. When we have low self-worth, we're constantly trying to please others. I wrote about my underselling and overgiving burnout in Marketing Like We're Human. Below is the abbreviated version: #vulnerabilityalert She has come from a world where she was constantly underselling herself, keeping herself small because of different reasons. First it was her upbringing that told her she was part of the working class and so the working class has to be small. She was also feeling inferior because she didn't have a university degree and so she always compared herself to people with higher education. She said the only way to be loved, accepted, and successful was to give and give and give. Until she had an overgiving burnout. She felt angry and decided that she was done with giving. She would be tough from now on. Until she realized that being tough wasn't in her nature. She didn't want to be tough. She wanted to be gentle and kind. And that's when she received the call to adventure. She crossed the threshold and looked at her money story. She met the enemy. There were a lot of stuck emotions in her sacral chakra. She didn't want to betray the values of her dad, who fought all his life for the rights of the working class. Not being part of the working class anymore meant betraying her dad. But then she realized that there was another way. That she didn't have to betray the core values that her family raised her with. Fairness, equality, freedom, justice, kindness, sustainability, making a difference—these values were still the same. So she realized that what her dad was fighting for on a political level, she could now make her mission in the business world. And that's how the Gentle Business Revolution was born. She now creates a community, a movement, a revolution for people who want to make the world a better place through their business. She is no longer so much focused on the monetary outcome; she cares deeply to create this community, and money will come to her as a consequence of the energy she puts into the creation. She feels safe, and she knows she will bloom. The overgiving becomes our protection, as we have never really dealt with those childhood fears of being rejected. In my case it was the fear of being rejected by my dad and the community I grew up in. So by overgiving and underselling myself, I gained the temporary love of others, which made me feel safe. But had I not done the deep inner work, the cycle would have gone on and on, and to this day I would still be lacking the fundamental sense of self-worth. Are you ready to clear your own objections and really own your worth? Your Worth Does Not Depend on the Sale #vulnerabilityalert “I no longer want the amount of money I make to impact how I feel. My worth is not dependent on the level of my success.” That's what I wrote in my journal at the end of 2016 in answer to the prompt “How do you want to change next year?” I think that's such a key concept to understand when you are new to selling. Your worth is not dependent on the number of zeros in your revenue! Your worth is not dependent on whether you fill your next course or not! Your worth does not decrease if you don't make your goal this month! And your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth. In plain English: you're not a failure if people don't buy your stuff! Your worth is innate. You're good enough. In her famous 2010 TEDx talk in Houston on “the power of vulnerability,” Brené Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, shared about her many years of research around the topic of shame. Why the shame? Because in this culture driven by a mainstream idea of success, most of us believe we're “not good enough . . . not thin enough, rich enough, beautiful enough, smart enough.” That fundamental fear of rejection, this open wound, leads us to protect ourselves with masks (or other armor) and not really let others see us as who we really are. Better to avoid being vulnerable than risk letting our guard down. However, Brown also talks about a smaller group of people who seemed to have found a better way of living the “wholehearted” way. She describes them as human beings for whom being good enough is “good enough.” They show up with courage and vulnerability, accepting that they are imperfect and are not afraid to be transparent about their flaws. Grounded in this deep sense of their fundamental acceptance, they open themselves to whatever life brings. When you start selling from this new perspective—knowing that you're good enough, whether you make that sale or not—that's when things will change for you. #vulnerabilityalert “I need some time to think about it.” Whenever I heard that sentence after a sales call, my energy dropped and my mood changed. This heavy feeling invaded me, and a loud voice inside my head started screaming, “You see! You're just not good at this; nobody wants what you're selling!” It wasn't until I started to focus on my “enough” that things started to change! In December 2016, I wrote in my diary: “I no longer want the amount of money I make to impact how I feel. My worth is not dependent on the level of my success.” I had to go deep, do the work (with a therapist), let go, and remind myself with a daily mantra: “I am enough.” Today I am no longer attached to the sale. If it feels right, I'm delighted. If it's not meant to be, I don't take it personally, and I move on. #serenegardenmoment Picture yourself in your Serene Garden. You have no clients right now, but yet you feel calm, at peace, and know deep inside that you are good enough because your worth does not depend on the sale. You are still you. Just like a tree is still a tree even when it loses his leaves. #anchor This idea of grounding yourself in your own worth is really important to understand and the reason we start with BEING before we get to the KNOWING part, where we'll talk about the value and worth you provide to your clients. They are separate concepts and not to be confused. Your Unique Value Proposition, which we will talk about in Part Two, has nothing to do with your innate worth. Your innate worth is not dependent on sales or sign-ups. No one can take it from you, or give you more of it. Whenever you doubt yourself, come back to this anchor.

During 2020, the racial disparities and inequities rampant across the Unites States were magnified. The year also amplified the call to review many of the nation's social systems, including those involved with health care, criminal justice, economics, and education. The child welfare system as it stands is also in need of serious introspection. "What Did Child Welfare Learn From 2020 – upENDing Systemic Racism" continues the conversation around the roots of systemic racism within child welfare, how agencies can objectively review their policies and approaches, and the rise of a movement to abolish the current system in favor of one that provides greater support to families. This episode is part of a series that examines what the child welfare field learned during 2020. It features members of the Center for the Study of Social Policy who are working with the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work to lead the upEND movement. upEND seeks to end the practice of State-sanctioned separation of children from their families as a response to social problems like food insecurity, poverty, lack of affordable and safe housing, and lack of meaningful prevention services. upEND also seeks to reimagine how we support and serve families and eliminate the root causes that create conditions for harm to occur.

When it comes to family caregiving, the latest studies show that members of the Asian community face different challenges compared to other Americans. In fact, Asian Americans are almost twice as likely to care for elders than the general population of the same age. These caregivers face a lot of challenges, but those challenges are complicated when the person being cared for has dementia. But there is an effort to help educate some members of this community. Currently, there is a study underway that is shedding light on trials and tribulations of Chinese and Korea Caregivers. Dr. Christina Miyawaki, Assistant Professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and Dr. Kathy Lee, Assistant Professor at the School of Social Work At the University of Texas at Arlington joined Prepare to Care Podcast host, Eddie Orum to talk about the study.

Money may indeed be the root of all evil, but it’s also a precondition for quite a bit of good. From non-profits, to educational institutions, to politicians, they all need money to be able to do good. So join us this week as we discuss fundraising for Houston’s progressive community with Januari Fox, Director of Advancement for the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work.

We are talking about sharing….sharing of your time, your experiences, and your encouragement. We are all on a journey with different itineraries taking different routes at different times but all heading to the same destination. We can learn from each other, we can comfort one another, we can grow in our personal development by sharing. It’s just that easy - #ShareLearnGrow. Making a serious impact will be groups of people getting together to share ideas, learn from each other and grow as individuals. The power of groups is going to save our society as we get farther and farther apart emotionally, personally, and spiritually. We are going to talk about why it’s important, how it can benefit you, and how you can get involved. Now before we go any further let me say there are all types of groups and we aren’t addressing any one group. The ideas we are looking to bring people together to connect and share. So if you are attending a group...fantastic, maybe these ideas will help you open up more and understand why it’s important. If you are scoffing thinking ...why there’s nothing wrong with me, why do I need a group, don’t turn the dial because we are just about to get to that. Groups connect people...plain and simple. That’s it at its rawest form. Groups connect people. The fact is ….we need each other to emotional thrive. But the days of someone knocking on your door and bringing you the Welcome wagon basket of goodies are over so YOU have to be the one that steps outside and works to make it happen. Do you want more authentic and meaningful connections? Then you have to put yourself in the right place and in the right environment to make it happen. Groups are safe and welcoming environments which are filled with understanding, reassurance, positive reinforcement, hope, and compassion. Members tend to develop special bonds by sharing their honest feelings, humor, accomplishments, and losses. causing them to develop emotional connections with one another. Brene Brown, a professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, specializes in social connection, said in an interview that “A deep sense of love and belonging is an irresistible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to.” We may think we want money, power, fame, beauty, eternal youth or a new car, but at the root of most of these desires is a need to belong, to be accepted, to connect with others and to be loved. Take a moment and think about the people you come into contact with every day. Are you in a rush, in a routine and not really noticing the areas of need around you? You have the power to make a difference and to give of yourself but first, it takes awareness. Getting outside of your own head, your own needs, and looking around. Then being willing to make the first move. There are plenty of people struggling or having a bad day that never vocalize their needs. It’s up to us to tap into our empathetic brains and reach out. CHALLENGE: Reach out and connect. Even if you think you love your silence and your solitude. Reach out...SHARE you experiences and your encouragement with another person. Forge strong bonds, nurture those relationships, and lean into them to find joy. I know YOU can do it!

Self-sabotage is any kind of conscious or unconscious behavior that undermines our successful functioning in the world. Self-sabotage may range from buying a "lemon" of a used car, to losing one's checkbook, to becoming involved with an alcoholic partner, to engaging in life-threatening activities. We may allow ourselves to be exploited by a boss or engage in physically harmful or potentially dangerous activities such as cutting or unsafe sex. Typically, one's pattern of self-sabotage is closely related to one's personal issues and family history. If we grew up in an addictive family, our self-sabotage may be driving under the influence. If we grew up in a violent family we may tend to get ourselves beaten or injured, physically or emotionally. We might find ourselves losing money, getting swindled or having poor money management skills. Self-sabotage is often linked to our instinct to become re-victimized in a way that continues or replicates the past abuse. Sometimes the self-sabotage is not directed against ourselves, but rather against someone we love. Reversing self-sabotage begins with building awareness of everything we do in our daily existence that sacrifices our happiness, satisfaction and productivity

In this episode of Public Health Perspectives, we speak with Marcus Stanley, who works for the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work (GCSW) in the SUSTAIN Wellbeing COMPASS Coordinating Center. Here he discusses aspects relevant to engaging communities and necessity of building from the ground up. As he strives to bring the most benefit to those effected and impacted by his work, Mr. Stanley brings insight into building intersectional partnerships, learning to work with vulnerable community members and allowing them to be the experts, and learning to be an ally to his full potential by ensuring meaningful involvement.

Today the “All the Stuff” trio, led by Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach and Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, have a thought provoking  discussion on fear, and how our fears are deeply grounded in our emotions. More specifically, how fear can either paralyse us in self-doubt and unworthiness or empower us to grow when we face it head on.   Listeners will discover how a community can offer a safe venue for becoming more conscious, and for sharing the feelings of shame that come up in all aspects of life - be they related to their financials, family, clutter, or body image.  They will hear how such a community can help dissipate their shame as they see others going through similar emotions and situations, and find empathy towards others and ultimately, towards themselves in the process.      Brené Brown, Research Professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work  is a highly respected authority on shame, worthiness, courage and vulnerability, and can be found here:  http://brenebrown.com/.  You will also find a link to a short video on breaking the cycle of shame, from “Oprah’s Lifeclass” entitled “Brené Brown’s 3 Steps to Breaking the Cycle of Shame”:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/08/brene-brown-shame-oprah_n_4059675.html   Join the ladies in their Facebook group at   https://www.facebook.com/groups/allthestuffpodcast/  to continue the discussion!  You will also find links to their respective websites below.      Websites: http://www.lisacarpenter.ca/ http://jenturrell.com/ http://clearcalmspace.com/   Podcasts: Jen Turrell’s podcast Financial Fluency  http://jenturrell.podbean.com/

Det finns ett människovärde. Ett begrepp som säger att alla människor är lika värda. Men vad betyder det i praktiken? Är det inte så att vi oftast värderar människor helt olika, och utifrån andra faktorer än att vi alla skulle vara lika värda? Gäst är kulturjournalisten och författaren Per Wirtén. Principen alla människor är lika mycket värda, är något som säkert många ställer sig bakom. Men i många fall följer vi inte alls den princpipen. Vad är egentligen en människa värd i vårt samhälle? Det handlar Oförnuft och känsla om i säsongens första program. Gäst är journalisten och författaren Per Wirtén som har varit chefredaktör för Arena och skriver nu för bland andra kultursidorna på Expressen och Sydsvenskan.
