The Business of Meetings – Episode 187 – How People and Culture Build Value with Aaron Bludworth We are delighted to be speaking with Aaron Bludworth today! He is a true thought leader who has massively impacted our industry! Until recently, Aaron was the CEO of Fern Expo. He joins us today to discuss his process of managing the company and selling it. He also shares his views on the future of the industry. Getting Into the Industry Aaron's initial introduction to the industry was largely accidental. While he was pursuing his education and working elsewhere, his uncle was working as an official contractor in the service sector of the industry. Aaron initially steered clear of the industry, even though his uncle kept mentioning all its potential opportunities. However, he eventually decided to try it out, thinking it would be a brief detour during his time in school. Yet, he is still there thirty-one years later! Joining Fern Aaron had been working for a private equity firm that recruited him when he started working at Fern. He joined Fern in 2008, initially as the Chief Operating Officer and eventually becoming the CEO due to the absence of a formal CEO. A while later, he found an investor, got a group of people together, and bought the firm. Sometime after, he took out the investor, leaving him with just the group of individuals within the firm. The Unique Culture of Fern Fern has a unique culture and history dating back 115 years. The company had a traditional image with a regional focus, and Aaron was committed to preserving the culture and the way the company focused on growth. However, it was challenging for him to find talent, customers, and acquisitions that aligned with the values and culture of the company. Balancing Culture and Corporate Consolidation Aaron feels concerned about the increasing corporatization of the industry and how that could impact personal relationships and innovation. He emphasizes the need for a mix of large and small players to maintain the innovative spirit of the industry and personal connections. Navigating the Pandemic and Prioritizing People Fern managed to weather the myriad of challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company was committed to its people and customers and focused on keeping employees engaged during difficult times. Their proactive approach included developing innovative solutions like Fern Health Check, which did vaccine and COVID testing to support their customers so they could resume their activities safely. The Speedy Recovery and Unexpected Growth The post-pandemic recovery of Fern exceeded all expectations. Aaron attributes their rapid rebound to customer loyalty, winning new business during the pandemic, and introducing innovative products. Despite all their initial challenges with labor and supply chain issues, Fern still managed to achieve record revenue in 2022. Navigating a Sale Process Aaron explains that emotional factors often come into play when selling a business, especially for sole proprietors. He cautions against entering the sale process with a specific monetary goal because that could lead to disappointment. Instead, he suggests that the timing should rely on having a viable, strong business and the right representatives in the market environment. Selling Fern Selling the business was a complex process. Aaron received offers from many potential buyers, including strategic and non-strategic buyers. He considered the long-term outlook in addition to the financial aspects of the business because he was looking for a buyer who would maintain the existing leadership team, treat customers well, and bring value to the table. While acknowledging the uncertainty of selling a business, Aaron aimed to set up a successful transition for his team and customers. Aaron's Thoughts in the Transition Period Between signing the letter of intent and closing the deal, his primary focus was on the impact the transition could have on his team and customers. He was concerned about ensuring a smooth transition for both parties and making the right decisions for the future of the business. The Ever-Changing Events Industry Aaron worries about excessive corporatization as the industry continues to evolve. He mentions the importance of maintaining a mix of players to preserve the unique character of the industry, emphasizing the need to keep innovators, thinkers, and passionate individuals involved to ensure its continued growth and vitality. He hopes that personal connections, community, and innovation will remain integral to the industry as it evolves and faces consolidation, stressing the importance of smaller and more personal businesses in driving success and maintaining the unique character of the industry. Life After Selling a Business During the post-sale period, business owners often struggle with maintaining a sense of purpose and finding direction after exiting their businesses. Maintaining a Work-life Balance Business owners should maintain balance between business and other aspects of their lives rather than allowing their companies to become the sole focus of their existence. Promoting Innovation and Passion Aaron underscores the need for the industry to keep innovators, thinkers, and passionate individuals involved to ensure its continued growth and vitality. Because of the positive impact of the events industry on his life and hopes he will remain connected to it.

Most Americans now believe that Truth is up to the individual, rather than something we can objectively know. People talk about "speaking my truth" rather than "seeking the Truth." Dr. Jeff Myers explores this issue in his book, 'TRUTH Changes Everything; How People of Faith Can Transform the World in Times of Crisis.' Faced with unprecedented levels of social conflict, purposelessness, and hopelessness Dr. Myers addresses the desperate need to know whether Truth exists and how to find it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today, Dr. David will answer the most asked questions about NLP. Dr. David will also dive into the Psychological Tips for Success that will surely pave the way to your desired life. Stay tuned to learn more! Standout Quotes: We need to focus on real relationships and not on virtual ones. If all you can do is virtual interactions, then do what you have to do. But if you have the wherewithal to get out and be amongst people and feel okay with it, you will find it's going to improve everything else about the other aspects of your life. Spiritual knowledge can come to us from anything. It can come to us from anywhere. Some people can read the back of a man in a cereal box and come away with the secrets of the universe. Other people can have the weight of the Quran or the Bible fall in their head and never get it. The value of any belief system should be based on the results it produces in your life. If the belief systems that you embrace are creating the life you want, keep those belief systems. If they're not creating the life that you want, then you need to change those beliefs. And the only one who can do that is you. Key Takeaways: For quite some time, people are in an enforced isolationism. Many have gone overboard to the point where it is unhealthy. So for the sake of our health, we must realize that we are all in this together. We have to get back out there and make real relationships and not just have these virtual firewalls between us were connected by video connections. If you're really conscious, and you're open to things, your filters are set a certain way. Spiritual knowledge can come from anywhere. Just believe nothing and test everything. Be open to the possibility that something is possible. Take the information and tested and if it if it's solid, build it into your platform. Then seek to add something else. But always be testing the information that you receive. Other people can share other belief systems with you. But at the end of the day, you're the one that has to decide to hang up the old beliefs and try on the new ones. All belief systems are just a set of rules that somebody made up to control somebody else. It could be rules you made up to control you more than more often than not But at the end of the day, the spiritual path is an individual one.

In the 21st century, Americans are used to having many easy interactions online, albeit mostly in the private sector. We interact with sites like Amazon and Google often and have come to expect that our interactions will be seamless and effective. Government does not have the same expectations, but many Americans do want to interact with government online and modernization is a key goal of federal officials. Deloitte Consulting recently released a report titled “The Digital Citizen: A Survey of How People in the United States Perceive Digital Government Services,” which examines how Americans interact with digital government and how they feel about it. Michele Causey is a Managing Director at Deloitte Consulting, where she leads digital government transformation practice. She joined the podcast to discuss the report and digital government.

(23:04) “Nothing About Us Without Us” - How this Phrase Has Created A Movement Susan Stone: We deal every day with students with disabilities and we talk a lot to those clients about sex. Obviously, most of the time that's how they find us. They were accused of sexual misconduct and. . What we find when we talk to our clients is that despite their disability, they are, those students are the same in their desire for companionship and sexual experiences. Susan Stone: What we also find when we talk to educators, Especially for K through 12 is that this population is often overlooked when it comes to sex education and there are specific challenges with students with disabilities in getting the education that they need. Kristina Supler: That's right, Susan, and we're so pleased to be joined today because this is such an interesting. issue that comes up in so many of our cases, whether they're campus Title IX cases, special education cases, even some of our criminal cases. We're dealing with people in the this population and this lack of sex education is a recurring theme. So we're really pleased to be joined by today's guest, Katherine McLaughlin, who is the founder, c e o, and lead trainer for Elevatus Training.. Kristina Supler: As a national expert on sexuality and intellectual and developmental disabilities, she trains professionals, parents, and individuals to become sexual self-advocates. She's the author of Sexuality Education for People with Developmental Disabilities Curriculum, and as a person in a wheelchair, Katherine is disabled herself and has her own experiences that I'm sure undoubtedly inform her work. Susan Stone: So welcome Katherine. Katherine McLaughlin: Thank you. Great to be here. Susan Stone: So that was a big intro to talk about elevatus, and now it's time to break it down for our listeners. So let's start really broad. Tell us about Elevatus in your curriculum. Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah, so we are a, basically an education service. So we have many different kinds of training, some in person, some online, as well as curriculum and tools that people can use to teach about sexuality education. Susan Stone: What does that mean? Help us, I'm sorry. I don't understand. Help me when you say tools, can you Yeah. Specific, yeah. Help us understand. Katherine McLaughlin: Absolutely. Yeah. So the, for example, the sexuality education curriculum that I developed years ago with a group of self-advocates, so people with intellectual developmental disabilities. Katherine McLaughlin: And there's 22 lessons in that curriculum, and it really helps people, go through, there's a script, there's handouts, because that's the, that's the hard thing is it, it, it's hard enough to talk about this topic. But then you have to go find pictures and tools. And so how can we make it easier for people by, by creating these tools that they can then use to have these classes or discussions? Susan Stone: You know, I just have to. Remark. I have a really good friend who's starting a curriculum on cooking. Mm-hmm. and is doing pictures and videos and using computer software imaging to even explain things like how to make a peanut butter jelly sandwich. How to make a tuna fish salad sandwich. So I can only imagine how complicated it is to make a curriculum around sex Susan Stone: education. Kristina Supler: Yeah. Katherine, I have to ask cuz I'm, I'm quite curious what brought you to this work. Katherine McLaughlin: Hmm. Yeah. Well, as you mentioned in my intro, I, in my twenties experienced an, an accident and started using a wheelchair. I have a spinal cord injury, so I just having that experience and. . I was really the same person the day before the accident as I was the day after, but yet I was being treated differently. Katherine McLaughlin: And so I started to become more aware about disability and how people treat people with disability. So that was happening and at the same time, I was working for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and special educators and. Developmental disability agencies reached out to me saying, can you help us with this? Katherine McLaughlin: So both of those things happened at the same time. And so I just started working with this population and, and has taken off some from there. Kristina Supler: When, when you say this population, I mean, disability can be a very broad term at ranging from perhaps someone with a spinal cord injury or blindness autism. Kristina Supler: So what disabilities does your curriculum cover or who's your sort of target? Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah. So, um, there's so many different terms. But I would say people who with neurodiversity, uh, so it could be someone with autism but it could also be someone with down syndrome. But it's usually intellectual developmental disability. Katherine McLaughlin: Sometimes there's physical as well. But this is a population that needs very concrete, like you were saying around cooking. Very concrete. Skills and, and descriptions and to really understand. So apps, taking abstract concepts and breaking them down and making them very concrete. Susan Stone: Does it cover students with blindness? Susan Stone: Do you have a curriculum in braille or. Other physical disabilities. Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah, it's not intended for that population. But we do have some people that might need the curriculum in large print. We haven't had anyone requested in braille yet, so we haven't done that. But we have had quite a few people who have attended who are deaf. Katherine McLaughlin: And so we have interpreters on our training, you know, on Zoom with us. . So, I mean, I think what you're bringing up is this idea of access and how do we, you know, people with disabilities, whether they're blind or deaf or they have an intellectual disability, are, are, don't have the same access that other people do. Katherine McLaughlin: And it could be to buildings or it could be to education. And so I'm really trying to eliminate those barriers. And you know, to be honest, I was, I am very interested in physical disability and sexuality, but there was less interest in. I mean, I'm not sure that people with physical disabilities have less interest, but as far as as a culture, we tend to look at things as problems, right? Katherine McLaughlin: So we're not proactive about anything. So, people with intellectual disabilities might be, um, charged with a sex crime or might do something publicly, you know, that you're supposed to do in private. And so it tended to be a population where people were looking for help. Where people with physical, I think people are interested, but there's less of an urgency maybe around that. Susan Stone: Yeah. Urgency or. Yeah, I would like to say that you don't, Kristina and I have worked on a lot of cases where on criminal cases. Mm-hmm. , where there have been intellectual disabilities. But you're right, we have not worked on a case where it was more of a physical disability, like a spinal cord injury. Susan Stone: Right. But let's take the spinal cord injury, let's talk about it. . Mm-hmm. , tell us about your curriculum in terms of what are the sexual needs of that population and what do you communicate with them? Do you go as granular as physicians in sex, how to have sex? Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah, so, so this, the po, the population I'm focused on is not spinal cord injury. Katherine McLaughlin: That's what I have . But the ones I'm talking to are people with intellectual disabilities. So we do talk about what is sex, different kinds of sex, and what does that mean? A big piece that I work on with this population is bodily autonomy as well. Like it's your body and your life and you get to decide what's right for you. Katherine McLaughlin: So not only is it talking about sex and, but it's also like you get to decide what you want in your life or don't want in your life as well. But yeah, it's not like a how to, but it's more of a, these are the different types of sexual acts that people do with, with one. Well, but Susan Stone: I'm gonna challenge you a little bit on this because I think that there are a lot of, um, students in that population, or young people who are confused. Susan Stone: They don't know what it means to masturbate, where to masturbate. How to Katherine McLaughlin: masturbate. Mm-hmm. , when to masturbate, when to masturbate. We've had a case, we've had Kristina Supler: many cases involving masturbation gone wrong, let's put it that way. Katherine McLaughlin: And Susan Stone: we find that sex education will talk a lot about bodily autonomy, but it neglects the big issue. Susan Stone: I'm having these feelings, which every human has. How? How do I satisfy that? Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah, yeah. Well, well, first thing is not everyone has sexual feelings, which. , you know, kind of a new thing for us to think about that there are people that really do feel asexual. And I'm not talking about people with disabilities, just the general population. Katherine McLaughlin: So some people don't. But I do teach. Yeah. But I do teach, um, what are sexual feelings? What are those feelings? Now I. . I do get into detail and I say, okay, so if you have those sexual feelings, what are your choices around those sexual feelings? So first you can try to stuff 'em and ignore 'em, and most people say that doesn't work. Katherine McLaughlin: You can acknowledge that you feel those sexual feelings for someone. Just keep it to yourself, keep it private. or you can masturbate, which is touching your sexual parts, but you have to do it in a private place and really concrete about what private means. Or you could be sexual with another person. Katherine McLaughlin: That also would have to be in private and you'd have to get consent from the other person. am I talking specifically how you touch this or that? Not necessarily. But there we have lots of resources too that people can learn more about. Like for example, masturbation. There's a video that people can watch to learn how to masturbate that have intellectual developmental disabilities. Katherine McLaughlin: It's not something I would show in a class, but it's a resource that I would tell someone about, or I, you know, parents have said to me, can I, do you have access to that so I can show it to my son or my daughter, or so I do think we're getting to some of those deeper issues, like you're talking about beyond bodily autonomy. Katherine McLaughlin: But yeah, so maybe that, I don't know if that, if that satisfies your curiosity. Susan Stone: Well, this is real talk, so we gotta get real with each other. It real, keep it real. Is there a minimum IQ you need to have to access your curriculum? Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah, so I don't really base it on IQ as much as maybe certain skills or if somebody were there to assist the person. Katherine McLaughlin: Prompt them, guide them you know, as a support for learning. Then that's the group. But that we also took the curriculum, the 22 lessons, and we created commu communication boards and cards so that people who are non-speaking. Are also able to participate in the class. I find that people who are non-speaking can do thumbs up and thumbs down, but they're not engaged in the same kind of way. Katherine McLaughlin: So we worked with a special educator and she created these tools now we're taking all the lessons and we're making them for people who might have more significant disabilities and adapting them for that population as well. So I think in the beginning I was starting out, no one with a disability or an intellectual disability is receiving sexuality education. Katherine McLaughlin: So here we go. Let's start with a group that can have discussions and, you know, learn at a. Certain way now we're gonna add these communication boards and cards, and now we're gonna learn for people that might not be able to graph some of those concepts so that everyone has access because people with more profound disabilities are at higher, much higher risk of being taken advantage of as well, because they're dependent on people for care. Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah. Kristina Supler: So that's very interesting. I, I, Theme you've mentioned of access and providing access. Let's face it, talking about sex is often difficult for a lot of people. Susan and I in our law practice, we end up talking about sex inevitably every single day. It's, it's every day. It's part and parcel with our work, and I'm, I'm sure the same is true for you. Kristina Supler: So yeah, it, it's something that we're very comfortable doing. But I know parents in particular, With even neurotypical children struggle with the sex talks, and I say talks plural because I think there should probably be more than one. Let's face it. So my question for you is tell us about how you create the curriculum to, uh, Help train parents to have conversations with their children and other individuals Susan Stone: with disabilities? Susan Stone: Or is it a separate curriculum that Elevatus, can ha you can spy or purchase? Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah, so it is a separate curriculum. So we have a three day training that has three curriculum. One is the sexuality education, one that I've been talking. One is for leading parent workshops and one is for training other staff because it does seem like you have to have all these pieces in place. Katherine McLaughlin: Or you're gonna get these mixed messages from parents, you know, and compared to the class. So how do we train everyone to be able to address this? And in the parent training, it's a lot around, you know, just what's typical human sexual development. How do you answer questions that your child might have? Katherine McLaughlin: How do you bring up the conversation? How do you address sexual behaviors as well? Like some of the, the issues you're talking about, but from the parent perspective. So they're in a restaurant, they go to use the restroom, they come out and their child is. masturbating in public, right? What do you do so that you're not shaming the child, but you also are, are teaching them about public and private at the same time? Katherine McLaughlin: Um, so it helps parents answer questions, respond to behaviors and then the staff training, it's a lot of that as well. But for staff, there's more of a focus on. What are your values around sexuality? And it's okay to have values. It's important to have values, but in your professional role, you have to set them aside because a lot of staff don't have the skills to talk about this. Katherine McLaughlin: And all they have is their values. So they rely on values to teach versus information and skills. And so you mean I just Susan Stone: wanna challenge you Yeah. Values or. . Katherine McLaughlin: It's kind of both. Yeah, so for example so we have a list of s scenarios and staff look at that and it's how are you, you know, is it okay for a 16 year old to have sexual intercourse? Katherine McLaughlin: Is it okay for, uh, Uh, person with a penis to refuse to use condoms. Is it okay for someone to have three abortions? Right? So those kinds of topics, and it's okay to have, um, uncomfortable feelings, gut feelings for yourself personally. You wouldn't do that or that. But when we're in a professional role, we have to learn to set those aside and be there for the individual because it's not our, it's not our role to share our values. Katherine McLaughlin: So that's another piece of it is just getting clear about what yours are, cuz then you're less likely. For them to come up, you know, or you're at least more aware of what your values are. And then if someone says, I'm 16 and I wanna have sex, that we don't say, oh my God, you're too young. Yes or Kristina Supler: no, don't, you know, put a stamp of approval on it or, you know, dismiss it as something that's wrong, inappropriate, whatever it might be. Kristina Supler: But Susan Stone: Katherine, have you changed the curriculum at all with the abortion issue in some states now? Putting. Deep restrictions on access. And I can't imagine, have you dealt with people who tell you or report pregnancies with people who, uh, women who are girls who are severely intellectually disabled? Kristina Supler: I, I, I think it's such a challenging landscape to navigate, to begin with. And then if you are a member of the, you know, if you have a disability and in navigating it can be. So difficult. Susan Stone: Yeah, we don't talk about this. Everybody's talking about abortion as it relates to unpr unplanned pregnancies for typical women, and we talk about how you can always access the next day, plan B or emergency contraception. Susan Stone: Well, what do we do when someone who's severely disabled probably doesn't even know? About, I I, right? My, all of a sudden I'm thinking about this topic and this issue and my mind is going p Katherine McLaughlin: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Because if you're not, if you don't have sexuality education you might have to rely on things like abortion if you're not ready to have a child. Katherine McLaughlin: Right. And so you can't even prevent it, um, when you don't have the information. And then some of the laws are really connected to is it okay for the life of the mother or inces or rape? And if there's a higher rate of sexual abuse for this population? And they're not allowed to in their state access abortion. Katherine McLaughlin: It's back to access, but I haven't heard anything specifically yet cuz I feel like it's just starting to unfold. But to me it just, i i, it makes me wanna do more sexuality education, so at least people have the tools to make decisions before something happens that they can't terminate a pregnancy because of their state. Susan Stone: Have you dealt with situations where young couples come to you or education about they want to be parents and whether they're capable of being parents?a Katherine McLaughlin: Oh, that's a great question. Yeah. So there's a group now. And it's the website is www.achancetoparent.net. And it is for people with intellectual developmental disabilities that are wanting to become parents or our parents and many of the self-advocates work and give advice to other parents that have, they have children themselves. Katherine McLaughlin: And what they've done is some research. They provided support for people with intellectual developmental disabilities in being parents, and they found that they were less likely to lose their children because they had the support. And the, it's the same thing as sexuality, right? If you don't have the education, you're not gonna be as successful. Katherine McLaughlin: And so this is a new group, so I know, I mean, I've been doing this work for a long time. There wasn't anything for people with intellectual developmental disabilities around parent and learning about parent education or very little, and so a lot of them did lose their children. . Kristina Supler: Ah, Katherine, you talk a lot about sexual self-advocacy, so tell us more about what that, what does that really mean? Susan Stone: Yes. Especially in, in, now we're talking about maybe people with disabilities wanna be mommies and daddies. Mm-hmm. . So what. Katherine McLaughlin: Right. So sexual self. So if you think of self-advocacy just on its own, you know, it's speaking up to change your story, um, support others you know, make decisions, problem solve. So if we add sexuality or sex to that or, um, sexual. Katherine McLaughlin: Then we're talking about things within relationships as well as about relationships. So I, it's two parts for people with disabilities because the general population, we assume that most people will be in some kind of sexual romantic relationship at some point, right? Parents and. teenagers might disagree on when, but we sort of assume that, but for people with disabilities, they have to speak up for their right. Katherine McLaughlin: Their right and their desire to be in relationships. I mean, you started it off saying a population Kristina Supler: that's particularly vulnerable to abuse as well, Katherine McLaughlin: correct. . Mm-hmm. . Yes, yes, yes. So, yeah. But, so speaking up that you wanna be in a relationship and then speaking up if someone is saying, asking you to do something that you don't wanna do and you feel uncomfortable being able to speak up. Katherine McLaughlin: So not only, it's sort of two parts, right? It's within relationships. And then it's just about relationships. So how do you, Susan Stone: as a parent, you wanna protect? Could it even be self-advocacy saying, I want a boyfriend or a girlfriend or a partner just like everyone else. You need to let me be like everyone else. Susan Stone: Yes, Katherine McLaughlin: yes, yes. Because what happens is a lot of self-advocates say when people deny or restrict. They work around them and so they sneak right, like, like most of us would do if we were restricted from doing things we wanted to do. We sneak. and then if something bad happens, we can't go to that person. So wouldn't we want to be involved in helping them sort all this out? Katherine McLaughlin: Rather than trying to control or restrict, and many self-advocates say to their parents, let me make mistakes. I know it's hard, but let me make mistakes because it then I'm, I'm alive and I'm growing and I'm changing. Susan Stone: We, um, love certificates. Kristine and I are, have a certificate in restorative justice, positive discipline, crisis communication. Susan Stone: You name it. You Kristina Supler: name it. We've done it. Susan Stone: We've learned about it. We are lifelong learners and we're always looking to add different tools to make. , better people, better parents, better lawyers, just to enrich our knowledge. Mm-hmm. , and I noticed you are a certifi. Sexuality educator by A A S E C T AASECT. If I butchered that, help me tell us about the organization, what it stands for, and about your certification. Susan Stone: Heck, maybe we need to do that too. Katherine McLaughlin: You might, you know, Kristina Supler: I'm hearing next year's Katherine McLaughlin: certificate. . I, I can feel it. Yes. So AASECT is, American Association for Sexuality, educators, counselors, and therapists. And in order to get certified by AASECT, you have to teach a certain number of hours for an educator or, or council, a certain number of hours for a counselor or therapist. Katherine McLaughlin: And you also have to learn some core knowledge as well. So it's both. So are we out, Kristine? Susan Stone: What's that? Are we out? We can't do. Katherine McLaughlin: You'd have to teach a lot more, but I don't know. That's a really interesting question. Could you get certified by them? It takes teaching. I Susan Stone: would say we're teaching on this podcast. Kristina Supler: Well, and we're right there you go. Working with clients in crisis every day with, you know, various. Sexuality issues that are tied into legal issues. But at any rate, I digress. ? Susan Stone: Yeah, it's always about us , Katherine McLaughlin: right? Right. No, but I think, so first you could come to the three day training and what we have is we do an assessment at the end and people get a certificate of completion. Katherine McLaughlin: So it's, it's not being a certified, cuz you haven't necessarily applied to AASECT yet, but you would learn an awful lot about teaching, talking to parents, talking. self-advocates talking to other staff. So that might be the first step. Kristina Supler: And you have a saying on your website, nothing about us without us. Kristina Supler: Tell us, tell our listeners what does that mean and who Susan Stone: coined Katherine McLaughlin: that phrase? Yeah, so it's part of the self-advocacy movement and when I first started doing this work, I thought, Okay. I'm an educator. I'm gonna create these lessons and I'm gonna teach 'em. And I went to work with Green Mountain Self Advocates there in Vermont. Katherine McLaughlin: And they said right out of the gate they said nothing about us without us. Which means, whoever you're gonna teach, we need to be involved in creating the materials. And so they reviewed all the curriculum lessons and made, we made edits based on their, their input. And then they said, oh yeah, and we also wanna be one of the teacher. Katherine McLaughlin: Of the curriculum. So it's actually designed because of Green Mountain self-advocates and them saying nothing about us without us. It's designed to be team taught with a self-advocate, someone with an intellectual developmental disability and a professional team. And they teach classes. So for example, there's a project in Michigan and they have 28 teams at this point. Katherine McLaughlin: So pretty much anywhere in Michigan you can access sexuality education. And one of the teachers is someone with an intellectual developmental disability. So it's Susan Stone: nothing about us. Us without us. Exactly. Oh, light bulb Katherine McLaughlin: moment. Yes, yes, yes. Right. Yeah. Katherine, it's been Kristina Supler: a real pleasure speaking with you today, and I think you've offered so much for our listeners. Kristina Supler: I'm just wondering before we wrap this up, do you have any final tips or thoughts you wanna share with our listeners or Susan Stone: anything we didn't ask you that you wish we would've? Katherine McLaughlin: Ah, yeah. I think, you know, just kind of one, one little bit of advice is, is sort of thinking about the messages that we give in our culture about sexuality. Katherine McLaughlin: And, many of us, when we think about growing up, got like, don't do that. Or, or do you, I don't know if you saw the mean girls movie when the physical education teacher Oh yeah. . Oh yeah. Right. You're gonna, if you have sex, you'll get chlamydia and you'll die. Like these fear-based messages and that, why do we do that? Katherine McLaughlin: And to have people really think like, why do I give negative messages? This is supposed to be a positive part of people's lives, and yet we're so anxious and fearful about it. You know? What would it be like if we just switched that and said, Like people do in Denmark. This is part of people's life. Let's educate early. Katherine McLaughlin: And so I just, I would say think about the messages you're giving around sexuality and are you giving positive messages or not, and why not? Susan Stone: Did you hear that Everyone out there . Kristina Supler: Well, thank you again. It's been a real treat chatting with you today and, uh, we're so pleased you're able to Susan Stone: join us. This has been a eye-opening conversation and I'm gonna forever think about that inclusivity in the concept about nothing, about us without us. Susan Stone: I love that inclusivity. Thank, thank you, Katherine. Thank you. And to everyone out there, really look at that Elevatus website. There's some good stuff out.

Welcome to episode sixty-two of New Creation Conversations. It is an honor in today's conversation to be joined by Dr. D. Michael Lindsay – President of Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. Michael is an alum of Baylor University. He has an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. in Sociology from Princeton University. Michael started his academic career teaching and doing academic research at Rice University. Then he accepted the call to serve as president at Gordon College in Boston for a decade before now taking the leadership role at Taylor.Michael has written several scholarly publications and numerous books, including two award-winning books that emerged out of major research projects – Faith in the Halls of Power: How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite and View from the Top: An Inside Look at How People in Power See and Shape the World. Both books are insightful about not only what motivates and shapes people of faith in key places of cultural influence and formation, but also, as a church leader, both books have helped me understand how to motivate and missionally-connect those in my congregation who have a great deal of giftedness and resource into the mission of the church.The bulk of our conversation centers around his most recent book, Hinge Moments: Making the Most of Life's Transitions (from IVP). In it, Michael takes the great research he has done with great leaders and applies that not only to young people making key life choices, but to all of us as we face important moments of transition in life. I found the book not only valuable as a gift to the many young people in my life, but even at 56, I found several things in the book helpful as I think about the potential and unavoidable changes out ahead of my own life. It's a great book and I think you will find this a very insightful conversation.

Topics covered include:1. Charles's time in Peace Corps: His Peace Corps Experience, Impact, and Learnings2. Writing his three books, especially the Aet of Community and the impact it has made on a global scale3. One of today's biggest challenges, is loneliness. Why this is such a challenge and how we all can work to overcome thisCharles's book, The Art of Community, teachings have been shared with millions of people. Businesses and individuals use the teachings to foster community in their own communities. He shares how "strong cultures help people support one another, share their passions, and achieve big goals. And such cultures of belonging aren't just happy accidents - they can be purposefully cultivated, whether they're in a company, a faith institution, or among friends and enthusiasts. Drawing on 3,000 years of history and his personal experience, Charles Vogl lays out seven time-tested principles for growing enduring, effective, and connected communities. He provides hands-on tools for creatively adapting these principles to any group—formal or informal, mission-driven or social, physical or virtual. This book is a guide for leaders seeking to build a vibrant, living culture that will enrich lives."Use this podcast to learn how you can make an impact on any level to build a better community.

Welcome to Season 3 of the Be Empactful Podcast. Season 1 was about the 4 KYC Framework and how you can build a strong business strategy by knowing intimately about your company, customer, competitor, and community. Season 2 we spoke about #sustainability and #resilience and how any business can become a sustainable business it starts at the top with thought and desire to make a difference. If you haven't heard that yet, it's available here: https://open.spotify.com/show/23gTc97OC9Kn4dhMDrIkKf In between the seasons, things have been crazy good. During the past few months, we are working on our independent assignments and together doing “Marketing Strategy” workshops with our clients, some things that we decided two years ago or pre-pandemic. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, the definition of Culture & Influence as follows: Culture - is the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group; also the characteristic features of everyday existence (such as diversions or a way of life) shared by people in a place or time. Influence - is the power or capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways. Influence has a great impact on culture and vice versa as per the culture, we figure out the formal & informal power dynamics. In this Season we discuss: How People, Institutions & Situations influence Thoughts, Outcomes & Decisions. The culture of an organization is impacted by the Decision Makers that influence the perception among the people it is impacting and a lot of times the community forces organizations to take actions that are good for business as well as society. This is one point of view. And there is many such nitty-gritty to it. Let's dive into this season to unfold a lot of these nuances. We also have a surprise: one of the senior professionals from a well-known MarTech company would be coming and sharing their thoughts from an individual capacity as well as the organization's perspective.

Episode 10 Addiction! How your frappuccino's are disconnecting you from yourself! What is an addiction… vs a habit? (*Sorry folks, this is another episode where my mic decided not to work. My apologies for my echoing voice.*) ENGAGING deep down the rabbit hole of what addiction is… MANY of you are addicted to things in your life which are holding you back, but how do you know it's an addiction. ARE YOU DOING it to feel a certain way and you depend on it… Whether its food, coffee, drugs, exercise, sex, drama, gossip, All these things can lead us to a much bigger problem, disconnection to ourselves and to others. WHY are we so afraid to feel and so we choose to disconnect… How did I quit smoking after 15 years and my experience of finding the root cause of the emotion that drove my addiction. What are the behaviours of trauma response… People pleasing is a trauma response! How People pleasing and other behavioural responses are rooted in co dependency. Learning how to manage our nervous system through co regulation and self regulation. If you were broken in relationship, it is only in relationship you can be healed…” YOUR behaviour, becomes your personality and how that leads into you destiny. The emotions don't kill you. It's the patterns you avoid and refuse to deal with that will cause you more pain. We are more connected now yet more disconnected than ever. How do you relate to life happening around you? Are we just lazy? Are we so traumatized that we can't handle feedback anymore? Why are we so afraid to be responsible for your life…Responsibility is being able to respond. Intention is everything! Why do you do the things you do is more important than doing the things… this creates inauthenticity, driven by the ego rooted in fear, scarcity and lack. Authenticity and community can bring people to a new level of healing while making a small change every day.

As the Covid pandemic grabs headlines, another deadly epidemic is quietly ravaging communities: addiction has led to a record spike in overdoses. Nationally, there was a 29% increase in overdose deaths last year. In Vermont, opioid deaths rose by 38% in 2020, with 157 people who died by overdose.For town librarian Brett Ann Stanciu, these statistics had a name and a face. In 2016, a local man who broke into her library in Woodbury, Vt., died by suicide after encountering a library trustee. This led Stanciu on a quest to understand opioid addiction in her community and in Vermont. It also led her to reckon with her own addiction. This quest is the subject of her new book, Unstitched: My Journey to Understand Opioid Addiction and How People and Communities Can Heal.Stanciu, a graduate of Marlboro College and formerly the librarian in Woodbury, says that her book “looks at our society and how it's frayed apart, what the ways [are] that we can put our society back together.”In our second half, we talk with Maia Szalavitz, a New York Times bestselling author of Undoing Drugs: The Untold Story of Harm Reduction and the Future of Addiction. Szalavitz. When she was in her 20s, Szalavitz struggled with an addiction to heroin and cocaine. She says programs promoting abstinence from drugs have resulted in broken families, mass incarceration and the spread of disease. Szalavitz says a more effective -- but politically controversial -- approach is harm reduction. Examples of this include needle exchange programs and using methadone and buprenorphine to treat addiction.Szalavitz says that harm reduction is now gaining acceptance—but for dubious reasons. “Our drug laws are racist. The only reason the drugs that are legal are legal and the drugs that are illegal are illegal is racism and anti-immigrant panic. …Now when we see the victims of the opioid problem as being white, suddenly being nicer to them is OK, so harm reduction gets massively adopted all over the place.”Szalavitz advocates ending the failed war on drugs and de-stigmatizing substance abuse. “When you take away the elusiveness and the cops and robbers, it doesn't actually make people want to stay addicted forever. It gives them space to make some change…. Overall the picture is extraordinarily positive.”

In this episode of the Plant Medicine Podcast, Ifetayo Harvey & Mary Sanders, LCSW join to discuss people of color and psychedelics. Ifetayo is a writer, advocate and speaker who founded the People of Color Psychedelic Collective. She has also previously worked with both MAPS and the Drug Policy Alliance. Mary Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker whose work focuses on addressing trauma in communities of color and marginalized populations. She is a founding board member at the People of Color Psychedelic Collective and is a trained psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist from both CIIS and MAPS. Mary is also certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and is currently enrolled at the somatic experiencing trauma institute. This conversation with Ifetayo and Mary touches on many of the important topics in the intersection of the unique experiences of people of color and the use of psychedelic medicines. One immediate concern which has begun to be discussed more openly is that of POC representation in psychedelic spaces. Ifetayo and Mary both discuss this issue, mentioning how representation is especially crucial for something as vulnerable as psychedelic experiences, where facilitators are responsible for navigating a wide range of emotions which naturally arise in a ceremony or therapeutic setting. Having someone from one's own community in these spaces can facilitate healing, as there is less anxiety around needing to explain specific experiences or trauma. Despite these shortcomings of representation, psychedelic medicines have a lot of potential to provide healing for people of color in particular. Ifetayo and Mary discuss the experience of intergenerational trauma in communities of color and how psychedelics are able to shed light on this phenomenon. Ifetayo shares powerful experiences from the first People of Color Psychedelic Collective retreat before the pandemic and explains her own coming to consciousness of the brutality of slavery and Jim Crow and how dysfunctional behaviors which perpetrate intergenerational trauma originally developed as survival mechanisms for the black Americans who lived under these racist systems. Mary also emphasizes that psychedelic healing for people of color needs to emphasize building community and creating strong interpersonal bonds. While the individual experiences provided by plant medicines are incredibly beneficial, the healing will be even more profound if it can be processed and integrated collectively, as people of color aren't only healing individual ailments, but collective traumas rooted in shared histories of oppression. In this episode: The unique needs of POC not typically addressed in psychedelic ceremonies or integration circles The disconnect between the Western therapeutic paradigm of healing individuals vs the more communal approaches to healing in traditional black cultures and how to bridge this gap How People of Color Psychedelic Collective creates community and fosters opportunities for people of color involved with psychedelics The intersection of intergenerational trauma and psychedelic healing for people of color Quotes: “Taking a medicine is a vulnerable state, where we have to be cautious: am I going to be minimized, are my visions going to be acknowledged and held with support and love and care?” [8:27] “Healing is relational and it's so important that we not only do the work in the therapy space but that we're out and about with our friends and our family and our community members, especially our community members that have similar life experiences and histories.” [19:24] “There's a very very strong stigma around addiction [and] overdose because our communities have been harmed in so many ways by policing and bad drug policies.” [25:22] “I think it's really about uplifting the people who are already doing the work and then also supporting the folks who want to do the work, like providing them with resources, education, mentorship. Things like that will help usher in a new generation of [POC] healers, practitioners, leaders.” [39:35] Links: People of Color Psychedelic Collective Mary Sanders' EmPATH Center Drug Policy Alliance Dr. Carl Hart's Webpage National Harm Reduction Coalition Darren Springer's Webpage Fruiting Bodies Collective Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

We have some exciting business ideas that we discuss on this episode of business munchies.Join our Spam Free WhatsApp Group.Timestamps:(0:45) - The Indian Dream Fund for Bootstrapped/Profitable Businesses(11:05) - The Economics of the Helicopter Rental Business in India(26:25) - Wealth Management with Social Commerce(37:00) - Opportunities in the Carbon Allowances Market Topics we discussed:The Indian Dream Fund for Bootstrapped/Profitable Businesses: Our primary goal at The Indian Dream is to promote entrepreneurship and as part of this Podcast and the community we're trying to build - we meet many people who're on the verge of starting their own business or have just started one and are looking for new ideas. Our thought is that once our audience is large enough (10x - 100x of the current size), we can raise a fund to help people start their own profit oriented businesses (instead of VC funded hyper growth machines). There is a big gap in the market for people who want to & can build profitable businesses but don't have the capital to do it & can't raise that capital for banks. We are envisioning a fund that would bridge this gap.Blog for Crypto Accounting in India & How People can Invest AbroadThe Economics of the Helicopter Rental Business: Sahil spoke to a friend who works in the helicopter rental space and got all the numbers about the economics of this business. They cost anywhere from 2cr to 25cr to buy, maintenance is ~8,000 rs. per flight hour, fuel ~ 20,000 rs. per hour, take off/landing charges ~rs. 10 - 15,000 & pilot salaries are ~3,00,000 per month. Apparently, 150 hours of flying time per year is the break even point for helicopter rentals. There are some big players operating throughout the country with some having revenues of 10 crores per helicopter. Siddharth is optimistic that this industry will grow as India gets richer.Wealth Management with Social Commerce: Wealth Management advisory is a broken industry with broken incentives. Wealth Advisors only recommend products that give themselves the highest commissions instead of products that would actually be best for the client. Is there a way to make this industry better through social commerce. Perhaps social marketing like meesho combined with content creators to ensure that investors are getting the right information.Opportunities in the Carbon Allowances Market: Carbon Allowances in the EU alone is a €200 billion industry in Europe itself in 2019 and this grew substantially in 2020 - in 2021, the prices peaked at €40 euros - up from just €15 a few years ago. Tesla earned nearly $500 million from carbon allowances in 2020 - this was one of the major contributors to its profits in 2020. Along with this, California and the US as a whole are experimenting with the idea of setting up a carbon allowance system. This system is only going to grow in the near future as climate change becomes a bigger threat with a high possibility of a global carbon allowance system. Entrepreneurs in India have already started buying up forest land and other resources that count as carbon sinks so that they can sell these allowances to companies in Europe and other parts of the world.
Sign up for the MindStyling Newsletter: https://mindstyling.group/sign-up/Polly Crook from The HOW People was straight to the point with her Top Tip:“Find your passion!”In today's new episode, Becky and Amy reflect on what has helped them find and live their passion, and what has held them back.Are you living a life that serves you most powerfully? Or is it one designed by Society and what your ego tells you is, or is not, the right path to follow? Why have you made the choices that you have?We talk about how you might find your passion, and the value of identifying the key ingredients to your best life. Do you find constructing a Wheel of Life – or even a Pizza of Life! - helpful? Or is Ikigai more meaningful for you? Helping you to find your sweet spot for life, where your passions and talents converge with what the world needs from you and is willing to pay you for.What if the pursuit of being paid to do what you love, simply won't fulfil your financial goals? What if you are doing something you love, but in a toxic work environment you hate? What if your clarity of thought is clouded with self-doubt, anxiety, or depression? How can you clear the space for yourself to consciously design a life you love?During our discussion we reference a range of excellent books, and even a video, to help you take practical steps, and give yourself the clarity to: - start to move forwards- say no to the things which aren't working for you, and - believe you can build a passion-filled life.Our recommendations include:- ‘The Code of the Extraordinary Mind', by Vishen Lakhiani - ‘The Passion Test' by Janet Attwood and Chris Attwood- ‘What Colour is your Parachute?' by Richard Bolles- ‘How to get a job you love' by John LeesWe would love to hear what works for you.

It is organized by Funky Marketing. Your host is Nemanja Zivkovic, CEO, and Founder of Funky Marketing. In this episode, our guest was Lorena Morales. It all started as a fascination with TIME—an abstract construct that the whole tangible world depends on. It's the foundation of everything we have done and will do, and above all, I believe in making the most of every minute. Having lived and worked in several cities around the world, she has gotten the chance to appreciate foreign cultures, embrace diverse mindsets, and apply both to her work. For her, having a global mindset has meant having a greater arsenal of ideologies with which to approach complex problems. Likewise, she is able to better understand people despite their differences, which she believes is strength in business and in life. Education has always played a significant role in everything she does. Her last degree in Strategic Design Management is an indirect product of the multicultural foundation she has built her life upon, both personally and professionally. As a marketer, what inspires her is watching her ideas take shape—especially the less conventional ones. To her, creating or reimagining a company's brand means turning potential into something concrete. Currently, she is the head of marketing at Go Nimbly, the first revenue operations consultancy with the goal of driving high-growth companies to increase revenue by 26% through eliminating operational silos. Being new to this industry has again brought her back to her core professional belief, which is that every single business relies first and foremost on its people—the human capital that allows for collaboration, trust, and success. In an ever-changing, technological world, these are the things that can't be automated, and will never stop being valuable and inspiring. She's Currently: - Showing up to every ABM event, conference, and webinar she can find - Plotting her next concert/music festival adventure We tackled a lot of topics: Bullying and the Importance of Family Being Supportive How to Learn to Accept a Great Change Challenges of Being Immigrant in the US If You Don't Try, You Lose the Chance to Win Targeting Wrong People With Wrong Products and Messaging What Is Funky Marketing?

Today we look at what Practical Tips the Bible has for us in Acts 16:16-18 Acts 16: 16-18 (NKJV):16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly [a]annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. In this episode, I talk about: • How People assumed Paul & Silas weren't who they were when the slave girl told the town about them • How your personal influences can affect those around you • how to use boldness to show your true colors.

Episode 25 TITLE Creativity & Feeling Like an Outsider GUEST Grace Chon EPISODE OVERVIEW Grace’s ability to connect with animals, has brought her success. Creativity is about the feelings that are evoked when we look at art, dance, etc. and how this relates to being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Being a child of immigrant parents motivated Grace, and she talks about how she straddled traditional Korean culture and American culture, but felt invisible at school. We talk about how being an HSP (and not knowing it), may have contributed to her sense of feeling like an outsider. Grace talks about the ways creativity shows up, but we may not identify what we’re doing as creativity. HIGHLIGHTS Creativity is your unique human expression, and everyone is creative! Creativity is just a natural innate part of being human; we all have it. It’s just a matter of tapping into it and cultivating it. Creativity is any sort of innovation, and that can come through daily activity Creativity is an expression of feeling Scarcity verse abundance mindset How Grace’s parents came to the U.S. from South Korea with $50 and a suitcase, and made new lives for themselves and their children How Grace straddled 2 cultures How People can tap into their creativity Creativity and parenting BIO GRACE CHON is a commercial and editorial animal photographer, acclaimed for her highly expressive portraits of animals and authentic photos of people and their pets.

Normal. It’s one of those words that we all pretend to understand, but honestly, none of us really do. People living with mental illness are usually striving to be normal, or act normal, or feel normal – but how do we know when we’ve succeeded? What is normal? In this episode of A Bipolar, a Schizophrenic, and a Podcast, Gabe and Michelle discuss the various ways that people living with mental illness typically react to different events in their lives versus the way people living without mental illness may react. In every scenario, our hosts talk about mistakes they’ve made, do-overs they’d like to have, and in some cases question whether the typical reaction is really all that reasonable to begin with. Highlights from ‘Normal’ Episode [1:30] Gabe and Michelle are discussing “Normal” Reactions vs. How People with Mental Illness React. [2:15] What Michelle was first taught about Mental Illness.

Title: Pick Up the Damn Phone Means No Cold Calling! Listen to Joanne-of-the-Nice-Voice Explain. Date: August 25, 2017 Attendee and Guest: Kelly Coughlin, CEO, BankBosun; Joanne Black, Author and Consultant, [Boatswain’s whistle] That’s the Bosun’s whistle calling you bankers to attention. Listen, compete, win. Intro: Kelly Coughlin is a CPA and CEO of BankBosun, a management consulting firm helping bank C Level Officers navigate risk and discover reward. He is the host of the syndicated audio podcast, BankBosun.com. Kelly brings over 25 years of experience with companies like PWC, Lloyds Bank, and Merrill Lynch. On the podcast Kelly interviews key executives in the banking ecosystem to provide bank C suite officers, risk management, technology, and investment ideas and solutions to help them navigate risks and discover rewards. And now your host, Kelly Coughlin. Greetings, this is Kelly Coughlin, CEO of BankBosun, helping bank C- suite execs navigate risks and discover reward in a sea of threats and opportunities. It wasn’t so long ago, that there were really only three ways to communicate with people: the mail, in-person, and on the phone. That was it. That’s the way it was only 40 years ago. Imagine that…no texting, no social media, no cell phones, no internet, no email…just 40 years ago. Today, we have all these new different ways to communicate…and frequently, when something “new” is introduced in the market, it gets overused and misused. Why? Because we lose sight of the purpose of the new concept and focus simply on using the new concept. In communications today, I will say the reliance upon binary digits…technology…is overused and misused today. As most of you know, we at BankBosun are huge fans of using the human voice as a way to more effectively communicate your message…whether it be your company mission and vision, your product features and benefits, or your assessment of the market landscape and environment, the power of the human voice to communicate empathy, energy and emotion is one of the strongest powers as human beings we have. And if we don’t use that power, we miss a huge opportunity to connect and communicate with our tribe. We like to say, while the pen is mightier than the sword, the voice is stronger than both. Use it. The new communication tactics today are terrific and I use them constantly and consistently. But in terms of effectiveness, nothing compares with the sound of the human voice…I fully recognize that it is not efficient, and that is why many companies founded in the digital era have adopted a business model that minimizes or sometimes completely eliminates the human voice…Facebook, Google, Uber…have you ever tried to get an Uber customer service agent on the phone…forget it…it just won’t happen. This audio interview is an example of the power of the human voice. I posit that if you only read the transcript of this interview, you will miss a huge portion of the underlying message. See how I said huge there? You would miss that if you just read it…it would sound huge…If you only read, you will miss the guest’s energy, empathy and emotion. You just don’t get that with the written word. Oh, and did I mention people don’t read anymore…they don’t. If you send a written piece longer than three quarters of a page it most likely won’t ever get read. Over 65% of written documents over one page in length get put down for later reading…and over 50% of those docs never get read…period. But if you listen, you get to hear a whole new dimension of communication. And you technical people that think your products and services are way too complex and need to be communicated with a written doc or flow chart or a Powerpoint. Wrong. You especially need to tell your story with your voice. I am not suggesting you abandon your written material. But frankly the more complex your offering the more you need to be able to tell your story with your voice…if you can’t, you need to learn your story better. My guest today is also a strong advocate of using the human voice. She is a thought leader, author, and consultant. And frankly, she is the genuine article. She has written a number of books, one is called No More Cold Calling: The Breakthrough System That Will Leave Your Competition in the Dust. And then another one, Pick Up the Damn Phone!: How People, Not Technology, Seal the Deal. She is America’s leading authority on referral selling. She is not bragging though, her publisher gave her that moniker and she runs with it, and runs with it hard. And now she is going to run with it at BankBosun to help our community and regional banks compete and win, not through cold calling or the traditional tactics like getting referrals from centers of influence, rather, she is quite the contrary and thinker who believes no sales person should ever have to cold call or send cold emails. Let’s hear about that. But what I like most about our guest, Joanne Black, she has a nice soothing voice, especially, compared to my rough and gruff voice. And so, I am going to welcome Joanne and hope she is on the line so we can all hear her great wisdom and insight and hear her especially nice voice. Kelly: Joanne, are you on the line? Joanne: Oh, I wouldn’t miss this for the world, Kelly. This is fabulous. Kelly: Thank you Joanne for taking the time. I know you are on the west coast of California, is that correct? Joanne: I am in the San Francisco Bay area so it’s a beautiful sunny day here and we haven’t had any earthquakes in a while and I hope that continues. Kelly: Excellent! Well, Joanne, are you ready to get right into it? Joanne: I am always ready. Kelly: Alright. Well, Joanne, I am going to start out with a challenging question here. I am going to start out by asking you to reconcile two seemingly contrary and opposing messages that are the titles of two of your books. One book says, Pick Up the Damn Phone and the other says, No More Cold Calling. Well, what do you want us to do, call or not call? Joanne: Oh, I want you to call but only if you have gotten a referral. The reason I wrote that second book is, I truly was alarmed by how so many people depend on technology and not only depend on it, I think they hide behind it. And instead of actually having conversations they are depending on emails, on e-books, on social media to get people’s attention. But the titles may seem like they are not aligned but they actually are. To only wants you to pick up the damn phone, when you have done your research online, when you have talked to people and then when you have been introduced to the person you want to meet or you are going to pick up the damn phone to talk to some of your colleagues, to talk to your clients and ask them for other people you should be meeting. That’s what the phone is for, not to cold call. Kelly: Well, are people afraid of the phone these days or are people afraid to contact people? Joanne: It depends on who your clients are. So, we need to communicate as our clients communicate, and if they communicate by text then text them and set up a time to talk to them. But you have to have the conversation when you are asking for a referral. You know, you can’t ask for a referral in any digital format. That’s my point of view and I am sticking to it. And the reason is that a referral is very personal and before I can introduce you or I can introduce any banker I need to have a conversation. I need to know the business reason why I am going to make the introduction. Because when I refer someone my reputation is on the line. I need to depend on you to take care of my client just as I would. So, therefore, I need to have that conversation. I also need to equip you with a language to introduce me. And it’s not just because I am a nice person. It’s not just because I have written two books. It’s not just because I have had my company for 21 years. It’s not just because you say I have a nice voice. I mean, that’s not business reasons for the introduction. There has to be something I do that’s going to resonate with the person you are introducing me to that’s going to help them solve a problem. Kelly: Now, you are kind of picky about using the term referral, why don’t you define what you think a referral is and then what a referral is not. Joanne: Well, it is what I know, not what I think. But a referral means that you receive an introduction. Let me contrast that to my definition of a cold call, any cold outreach, whether you are sending an email, whether you are on social media, whether you are just popping in to a client. I mean, I don’t know if anybody does that anymore, but some do. A cold call versus a referral, a cold outreach means that you are contacting someone who doesn’t know you and doesn’t expect to hear from you. That is ice cold, you are definitely interrupting them. They don’t know you. And in many times there are actually circumspect whether that person really said that you should talk or not, a lot that goes on there. So when a referral gets you the introduction you always get the meetings, because you have been introduced by someone your prospect knows and respects. Make sense? Kelly: Yes it does. I’m interested in the term outreach. I’ve been in the sales business one way or another many many years and it’s only been in the last eight years maximum that the term outreach has become popular. It is just selling, correct? Is it just making a contact, whether it be outreach on the phone, outreach on email, outreach in person, it’s selling, correct? Joanne: I don’t agree. So here is the thing, I’m want to go back a whole bunch of years when I did work in the banking industry. I worked for a makeup performance and my clients were all banks, mainly community banks, and at that time if you wanted to get information on a bank you would call their corporate communications department and they mailed you an annual report. That’s how we learnt about a company. We did not have the internet and when the internet first became frequently used, I’m going to say mid 90s, maybe, when people were contacted all over the world and then it went from there. We now have many different ways of reaching people so it’s not just calling someone to get information. It’s not just making a phone call. And, by the way, I think those times were probably a lot simpler, but there are so many ways of contacting people now. And that’s what I mean by outreach, because it could be by phone, in person, social media, email, I can’t think of anything else, but there probably is, but there are just so many avenues we have now to reach people. So that’s why I call it outreach, and I don’t think it’s selling. Kelly: I think probably selling implies doing more talking than listening. But if an outreach is listening and talking then that probably makes more sense to use the term outreach. Joanne: I think it is very much about building relationships and expanding connections, and those lead to sales. Here is what happens. I have been exposed to several people recently who have said to me, I don’t know if I should go to that event because I have been to things like this in the past and I don’t get any leads. Don’t say that to me, I say that’s always a wrong approach. We need to be out there meeting people all the time, whether it’s for breakfast, for lunch, for a beer, whether it’s part of a golf tournament, a tennis tournament, whether we are going to our kid’s...to their baseball or soccer games, we need to be out there all the time meeting people, getting to know people, sharing ideas. That to me is what selling is about, because the number one reason that people do business with us, because they trust us. That doesn’t happen overnight. It does happen when you get a referral introduction. For me, sales is about having a conversation and being clear about what their issues are before ever talking about what we do. Kelly: Let’s talk about account based sales. You seem to spend a lot of time, a lot of energy on account based sales activity. What’s your definition? Why is that important and what’s the alternative to that? Joanne: It’s the old saying that there is nothing really new again. So account based sales is a newer term used for those of us who have named accounts. We have a certain book of business, a certain book of accounts that we are responsible for meeting with and ultimately selling to. It’s a book of business, period, named accounts. And as bankers then we know we need to meet these companies and talk to them and build relationships with them. That’s what it’s about. That’s account based selling. It’s just a new term but there is nothing new about it. The opposite is, so many companies now have people on the phone all the time, inside sales reps, people calling and wanting to open up a conversation. They don’t build relationships. They are the ones making a hundred dollars a week, a day or whatever it is, and maybe talking to a few people. That is not what I’m talking about and that’s not where bankers are playing either. It’s not where I play. Account based sellers build relationships. That’s the differentiation in the term. Kelly: Do you distinguish between retention of business or for cross selling, up-selling purposes? Joanne: One of the downfalls that I see is that in so many organizations, that we do business with a client, we close that business and then we move on. To me, when you talk about cross selling and up-selling, it’s always listening. So, we get in there with one product or service because most of these companies have more than one bank they are doing business with and through developing the relationship and getting to know them better, yes, our goal is to find other opportunities within that client. We may or may not, or it could be that a bank that they were doing business with, maybe they changed bankers and their client doesn’t like this new banker and suddenly reaches out to you because they like you. It’s critical to stay in touch with people. And yes, if the door opens and you see an opportunity to talk about another product or service, you do that, but more importantly, we need to be asking those clients for referrals to other people they know. And that is not happening. It’s happening yes, ad hoc, but it’s not a discipline. It’s not systematic. And it happens but we can’t depend on that. Kelly: Okay, you make a pretty bold statement in some of your work. One of these statements says this, Why closing is never a problem in account based selling. Why is that? Joanne: First thing, it’s never the problem, it doesn’t matter what you do. So, when people say to me, I’ve had a sales leader say to me, Joanne, my team can’t close, can you help me? Well, that’s my time to step back because it is never about closing. It’s always about something earlier in the sales process that was forgotten. That was over looked. If we have done our true discovery and we built relationships with all the people who are going to be involved in the decision, that we found out their timeline, we found out what they need, we’ve made a lot of check ins. I don’t even like to call it that, but we are in touch, then closing should be like one foot in front of the other. Closing is never the problem. I am going to give you an example. I realized that I missed a step, very recently, and I knew the deadline was short so I wasn’t even sure about that. But a client was having a meeting and they were bringing in their account executive and suddenly they wanted to expand it to a bigger group so now we are looking at like 25 people instead of 10. The mistake I made was, I did not have the conversation with the right person about what that would cost them when they expanded that number and I would have made a recommendation to start with a smaller group. The group that really would get the most benefit from referrals, start with them first. Let’s get proof, let’s get results and then we can expand it. So, I missed that step. Now, as a result, first of all, the date didn’t work and second, it was too big. And it will happen because they do these quarterly business reviews and bring the whole team together then. And now I have to do a lot more work on my end which I am willing to do and we have already outlined some next steps to bring a referral program into a quarterly business review with a smaller team. So, I made that mistake. It’s called, sometimes...I have an author friend who calls it "happy ears”. You know, when a prospect or a client just says, oh, this is fabulous, yes we need to do it. This absolutely meets what our challenges are. I never thought about it that way, you have given me so many insights and good advice, on and on and on. We have “happy ears”, and they go sure, they are going to do business with us. That’s not business, that’s “happy ears”, and that was my downfall. Kelly. Yeah. You make another statement here, How digital dependence derails account based selling teams. I want to give some background in this question. At BankBosun, we believe that audiocasting is a very effective way to communicate your message, whether it be a company message, a product message, service message, a human voice communicates with energy, empathy and emotion and you just can’t get that out of the written word unless you are writing like Yeats or Shakespeare, most people really don’t read anymore anyway. So, we like to use digital audio to capture this, like we are doing today. In my interview with you, we get the emotion, we hear your wonderful voice, we hear your energy and then we envision banks would share that message with their referrals or current customers or prospective customers. I am not at all suggesting that banks rely upon this and be dependent upon it, but do you think that tactic challenges your statement, digital dependence derails account based selling teams? Joanne: No, if digital is the only outreach then I would say yes. The point in that post and really the message in my second book, Pick up the Damn Phone, is that if we sit behind technology and we rely only on technology, whether it’s audios, videos, emails, e-books, whatever it is, webinars, podcasts that we are not developing the relationships we need to develop when we have a conversation, and that’s what I mean by digital dependence. Now, audio is one tool, video is another. I just wrote a post, in fact, about why video doesn’t work for me. You see, everybody has a different way of accessing and understanding information. For me, I can read way faster than I can listen, of course then, I have to put in my blue tooth or my earbuds. You know, whatever I’m doing, it’s one other block for me. Now, I agree that there is nothing that replaces hearing a human voice, that’s why we need to talk to people and have conversations but we need to communicate in different modalities. Some people love videos, some love audio, and many people love audio because they put it on their phones and can listen in the car. If it’s the written word, there is Infographics. Some people love those. Infographics gives me hives. I just don’t know where to look first. I get, you know, where is this? It’s like charts and graphs. I want someone to explain it to me. That’s my learning style. We need to use various modalities in digital but then we need to have an actual conversation. And when I talked about digital dependence is there are so many people who are not having conversation. They are relying on digital for everything. Kelly: Got it. I would like to reserve part two, if we could, to talking about strategy and tactics on getting referrals, could we to that in part two, do you think? Joanne: Well, of course we can and I look forward to it. Kelly: Okay, I want to end part one with, I find it interesting, the contrary, and you are, that you use the term, circles of influence and many of us use the term centers of influence, is there a difference between how we use the terms? I actually kind of like your term better. It implies, large, diameter, circumference, wider in scope whereas a center implies something that’s closed. It’s got a door and only few people are allowed in it, closed, narrow. What are your thoughts on that? Joanne: I think they are interchangeable. I mean, truthfully, with everything I say is maybe I meant center and I said circle. You know, it’s really the same thing. We understand these are the people who would most likely to give us referrals over time. And that’s centers of influence, circles of influence, it’s exactly the same. Kelly: Okay. Well, with your permission, unless you have some kind of trade name, ownership and you are going to charge me every quarter every time I use it, I am going to start using it. Joanne: Oh, fantastic Kelly, please do. Kelly: Joanne, I would like to know how bankers can get in touch with you. You could put a plug in for your books again and any other thing. I think we are doing a giveaway on the book, No More Cold Calling: The Break Through System That Will Leave Your Competition in the Dust. Is that correct? Joanne: That’s correct. The way to reach me is, Joanne, J o a n n e, @nomorecoldcalling.com and the first 10 people who send me an email and put in the subject line “listened to your podcast with Kelly” will receive a book.
