In Sara and Katie’s last episode of the season, they discuss vacation vibes during the pandemic and Katie’s latest obsession with tennis. As a tennis newbie, once Katie realizes Sara was the captain of her high school tennis team, her hopes for playing with her are dashed. Then they have an illuminating conversation with Rebecca Brown and Vanessa Potkin from The Innocence Project about the plight of innocent people who are incarcerated and the systemic factors that cause this to happen more than you would think. Rebecca and Vanessa’s intelligent and empathetic approach to their work is not only enlightening but inspiriting as well.

In Sara’s words: “I said, if I'm going to spend any time doing anything, I want to write a book because that's something I'd always wanted to do. I thought, if I'm going to take time away from being a mom and running the household and all that, 'cause I had two kids under 3, I would try and write. So that's what I did. I wrote during nap time and it took me forever, but I finally got a book finished." [32:04] You can follow Sara at: Her website Amazon  Goodreads  And Facebook   Thank you so much for listening.

In a powerful sermon she preached recently, Rev. Sara Yoos spoke to the prevalance of racism in America, particularly through her experience as an Asian American. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, racism has reared its ugly head again and again and again, partially due to fear. In Sara's prophetic message, she tells us that when we feel fear, "We can choose to channel that fear into racism, we can choose to hide; or we can choose to be compassionate with ourselves, and with others.” She encourages us to lean into curiousity and courage, and to look for Jesus not in "normalcy" but in the wounds of others, and even ourselves. If we can do that, we can experience the peace and healing that only Christ can bring.Grab a cup of your favorite tea or coffee, and settle in for a powerful conversation that covers everything from racism to #blessed, and where we can find Jesus amidst it all.Rev. Sara Yoos is a pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Menomonee Falls, WI. She is a brilliant theologian, a mother, and a prophetic preacher. You can find and listen to her sermons online.

Sara Canaday is the author of You — According to Them, and Leadership Unchained: Defy Conventional Wisdom for Breakthrough Performance. Sara shares how leaders can better adapt to the changing landscape, because conventional or traditional success strategies can now limit our recovery and growth. Sara contends we need to shift from being a doer to being a driver.   Key Takeaways [3:00] Conventional or traditional success strategies that we’ve learned can now limit our future success as the landscape today is so different. [6:15] When Sara says take a strategic pause, she doesn’t mean to take a mental time out. She means to really absorb all the knowledge you’ve learned lately and see what stands out. [8:45] The idea of doing nothing scares a lot of people, even when they consciously know it could benefit them greatly. [16:30] In Sara’s book, You — According to Them, the biggest thing that leaders took away from that book was shifting the focus from being a doer to a driver.[24:35] It’s up to all of us to find our own purpose in the bigger scheme of things. A company tells you what your function is - not necessarily purpose. [31:35] As a young woman, Sara learned that if she wanted to be taken seriously, she had to be serious, and that thinking backfired on her. [33:40] There is a balance between standing out and fitting in. Be a renegade in your ideas, but not in your behavior.  [37:15] People like listening to the loudest person in the room because it feels like action-taking, but those people can create massive casualties in an organization. The only way to prevent this is to really slow down and think things through, but that’s not deemed ‘efficient.’ [39:55] You have a lot of control over who gets your time and attention more than you realize, even if you feel like you don’t have the ‘authority’ or a high-demanding boss in front of you. [43:10] In order to get people engaged, we have to show them that we’re just as engaged in what they want for themselves. [47:00] Leaders need to be willing to shake up the way they think.   Quotable Quotes “Take a strategic pause, make unbreakable appointments with yourself to sit, and let everything you’ve read/seen/heard in a week or a day marinate so you can see connections you may not have seen.” “How many of us were rewarded for being doers? We’ve been conditioned, so it takes a real mind shift to sit still.” “You can have all the smarts in the world, but that alone is not going to get you where you need to be.” “The experiences we give ourselves are important.” “If you enter the game of business, you enter the game to play. So play to win!”   Resources Mentioned Saracanaday.com Leadership Unchained: Defy Conventional Wisdom for Breakthrough Performance, by Sara Canaday You — According to Them: Uncovering the blind spots that impact your reputation and your career, by Sara Canaday What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful, by Marshall Goldsmith   The Leadership Podcast is Sponsored by:     Cultivate Grit.

In this episode, Brad Wolfe is joining me to talk about our most feared topic: Death. This was a super special conversation that came at an extremely timely moment in my life as death was consuming my life. This is a good one, folks. Listen up. In this episode, we discuss: Brad’s work with Reimagine End of Life, how Brad’s experiences with death have influenced his work and the way he relates to the world, how to remember our mortality and also seize the day, why breakups are their own form of death, how to create more beauty and creativity in life by confronting death, how our medical system is unprepared to handle death, how to have conversations about the end of life before it’s too late, and my own wishes for my death. Brad Wolfe is the founder and executive director of Reimagine, a new nonprofit that brings diverse communities together to explore death and celebrate life through creativity and conversation. With over 30,000 attendees to date--and with a belief that by facing death we begin to live more fully--Reimagine End of LIfe citywide festivals have quickly become the largest end-of-life events in the United States. Reimagine was recently named a "World Changing Idea" by Fast Company Magazine.Before becoming a nonprofit, Reimagine was initially inspired by OpenIDEO’s End of Life Challenge, and was led by Brad as part of an OpenIDEO project exploring art and end of life. Brad's personal interest in end-of-life began as he performed bedside concerts for his friend Sara L., who died of a rare pediatric cancer. In Sara's honor, Brad co-founded the Sunbeam Foundation for pediatric cancer research and formed Brad Wolfe & the Moon, a band which has performed concerts for other young people facing terminal cancer and been featured on MTV.  Brad has an MA in Sociology from Stanford and an MBA from UC Berkeley, where he has served as a lecturer on the topics of innovation and design.  www.letsreimagine.orgwww.bradwolfe.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleywolfe/Mentions:You’re Going To Die - open mic in San FranciscoBeginner’s Guide To The End by Shoshana Berger and AJ MillerThe Conversation ProjectThe 5 WishesBeing Mortal by Atul GawandeWhen Breath Becomes Air by Paul KalanithiBrad Wolfe and The Moon on Spotify

There are many lessons to be learned by watching what the big brands are doing with video and other marketing tools. Bernie asked Sara what she’s seeing as brands use video and she shared a wide variety of approaches. Marketers are using video to find the right people at the right time Entertainment production companies are using video to get more subscribers to their programs Publishers are working with video to create a stickier website experience and connect better with their audience In these and many other use cases, Sara says the consistent theme is that these brands need a great way to connect with their audience. Video is their medium of choice because it’s the only content format that uses eyes and ears to make an emotional connection with people. Listen to learn from these great examples! Challenges To Building A Video-Based Connection With An Audience Naturally, no brand or marketer can jump right into video creation and effective distribution. There is a very real learning curve and technological hurdle to overcome. But Sara points out that the tech challenges are less formidable as the tools now available are smarter and easier to use. That means there is more time to focus on telling great stories, which is what is at the heart of using video well. The real challenge is to stay focused on that objective. In Sara’s mind, we are still in the early days of using video among corporate marketers. There is a lot that has been learned but much more that is still to be discovered about how to use the medium effectively. But it’s a medium brand marketers are starting to understand better. During this conversation, Sara highlights many of the approaches Brightcove customers are taking that are getting great results. How The Brightcove PLAY Event Can Help You Breakthrough With Video Many brands already know that video is one of the most powerful mediums to use in order to make human connections with customers and prospects. Sara believes that now is the ideal time for content marketers and brands to embrace video more than ever before. Brightcove is hosting it’s 9th Brightcove PLAY event in May of 2019 and it is a “must attend” event for those looking to get into video marketing or to take their video marketing to the next level. The event will highlight Brightcove customers who are getting great results from their use of video, and many themes will be laced throughout the event sessions. Some of them are… How are we better able to make true human connections with video? Where are we seeing new approaches and who are the trailblazers we can learn from? How can attendees become the Mavericks and evangelists of the video space? Bernie will be presenting at the event on May 15th on the topic of how salespeople can use video to engage the modern buyer to stand out from the competition.

One way to deepen your practice is to go to a retreat or get a teacher. In Sara’s Voice “Practice can look so different from person to person.”“Writing is very real. When I put something down on paper, a strong intention has been set.”“I find that when I don’t have practices in my day that help me check in amongst all the chatter and distractions then I’m not successful.”“My practices are meant to put me in a state so that I’m available to check in with myself.”“For an overachiever like me who can get caught up in trying to meditate ‘right’, I have found it really freeing to think, ‘I just have to sit down.’”“When you are doing any spiritual practice that requires your attention, there’s no escape. You’re going to feel your feelings. You’re going to see what’s beneath the surface.”“Yoga and meditation give me a sense of quiet. Journalling gives me a great space to access visions, goals, and what I need to release.”“Any practice is better than none!”“Life is too short to spend a long time being stuck.” Connect with Sara Website Instagram Facebook Sara’s Upcoming Yoga Retreat

Repurpose Your Career has 25 ratings and 17 customer reviews. Marc would be most appreciative if you chose to write a review.[2:02] We are rapidly approaching Episode 100 of Repurpose Your Career. Marc is thinking of interviewing his wife, Lotus Miller, about her experiences around their move to Mexico! Mrs. Miller is a former Registered Nurse and massage therapist. [2:26] Next week, Marc will have a special episode — the audio from the webinar that Jeanne Yocum presented to the Career Pivot membership community, called “Pricing Your Services — How to Get it Right.” Setting the right prices is difficult for freelancers and consultants. Jeanne was on Episode 89 of the podcast talking about her book. [3:03] Last week in Episode 97, Marc covered Part 3 of the “Can Sara Repurpose Her Career?” series. This week, Marc will play Part 4 of the series. If you have not listened to Episodes 93, 94 and 97, Marc suggests you stop here and go listen to all episodes, first. You will find the reports for these episodes at Careerpivot.com/sara. [3:48] Marc welcomes Sara back to the podcast. Sara has done her homework. She tells how she makes decisions using her intellect and her intuition. She has her head and her heart involved. [4:50] Marc looks at the homework. Sara was once told by a manager that she is a results-oriented decision maker. She wondered how an employee could not be results-oriented. She has learned that not everyone sees things the same way. [5:56] When Sara has a problem to solve, she asks as many questions as she needs to get all the facts and then she takes the ball and runs with it to get those results. She likes being able to point to the results of her problem-solving. [6:36] Marc reminds Sara that everyone does not think the same and he hopes that she will take time to explain to others how she thinks and decides, so there are no misunderstandings. Marc talks about teaching in mainland China and how differently the Chinese think. [7:49] Sara looks at her Stress Report. There are three sections. They are Interpersonal Relationships, Schedules and Details, and Decision Making. Each section has two pages. The first covers what happens when you go into stress. The second covers what you can do to get out of stress. Sara will explore the second pages on her own. [8:24] Activities to stay out of stress include things you are already doing, things you used to do but stopped doing, and eight choices of things you should try. [9:16] Sara looks at Self-consciousness and Social Energy in dealing one-on-one and dealing in groups. Sara’s social needs are low, meaning she doesn’t want to be around people all day; her self-consciousness is also low, meaning she wants people to deal with her very directly. That is an unusual combination. [9:59] Sara reads her results. It is likely that Sara needs straightforward instruction, praise that is free of sentiment, associates who speak up easily, people who get to the point, direct questions or corrections, freedom from group pressures, special time to be alone, time to be quiet and think, individualized benefits, and a few one-on-one friends. [10:31] Sara says that what resonates with her are straightforward instructions, praise that is free of sentiment, associates who speak up easily, and the rest, except that she is not sure what is meant by individualized benefits. [10:53] Marc explains individualized benefits as meaning, ‘You want to get stroked the way that you want to get stroked.’ [10:58] Sara reflects on what makes her feel valued (from the Career Reflection worksheet). She feels valued when she fills a need. She likes to be needed, personally and professionally. She likes to be depended on. It feels great when someone thanks her for a significant accomplishment, not just for the day-to-day minutia. [12:01] Marc summarizes that Sara wants a level of importance and she wants people to recognize her importance. Sara agrees. She doesn’t want to be relied on for the smaller tasks. [12:46] Marc wants Sara to have ingrained within her the knowledge of what makes her feel valued at work, and to be able to communicate that to others. Marc always loved getting recognition from his clients. Developing software that he never saw anyone use was meaningless to him and didn’t give him ‘strokes.’ [13:46] In Sara’s three pages of needs, there are 30 needs. There will be overlap. Marc will ask Sara to synthesize her 30 needs down to 10 needs and to write an open-ended question for each and what she is listening for. [14:11] Marc cites Jim Camp’s Start with NO, a negotiation book. The art and science of questioning is to get the other side to ‘spill the beans.’ Marc asks Sara to do the same thing, based on her own needs. [14:34] Sara’s things she can do to build resistance: Identify a person or group that interacts with her in an objective manner and spend more time with that person or group. Build a hit list of things she knows have gone well and use it to help gauge her success. [15:00] Sara can find opportunities to assess real signs of success and identify areas that she needs to improve upon. Build a relationship with a coach who, without being shy about it, can help her evaluate how well she has done in a situation. Set aside quiet time for herself every day. She needs solitude to recharge [15:22] Sara can take active steps to protect herself from interruptions when she is working on an important or stressful task. Allocate at least one weekend a month just to be alone with that one person who is most important to her. The more difficult this is to do, the more important it is. [15:39] Sara can prepare herself for big holidays or hectic social periods by spending more time being quiet and alone. [15:47] Sara is already setting aside quiet time for herself every day to recharge and taking active steps to protect herself from interruptions during important or stressful tasks. She has also learned to manage the interruptions. She prepares herself for holidays by spending more time by herself. Marc also avoids holiday parties. [16:56] Sara knows when it’s time to find her happy place in a corner of a room away from other people. Marc talks about the difficulty introverts have in being social. [17:42] On page 5, Sara reads about managing her needs for insistence and restlessness. Sara is low insistence, which means she does not like rules imposed on her. Sara’s restlessness rating shows she does not like to be interrupted. [18:15] Sara may need freedom from close controls, a minimum of structured routine, direct access to everyone, unusual and stimulating tasks, flexible rules and policies, a minimum of abrupt changes in routine, consistently applied policies or rules, only one or two tasks at a time, protection from interruptions, and predictable schedules and tasks. [18:45] Sara disagrees with the minimum of structured routine. She seeks it out and makes it for herself. Marc reminds her that she is a structured anarchist. She would very much prefer the structure to be her own. Sara agrees. She does not want others to impose it. Direct access means she does not do well with a bunch of gatekeepers. [19:51] Unusual and stimulating tasks and flexible rules and policies, and consistently applied policies or rules also resonate with Sara. Sara likes consistency, in general. [20:17] Marc also considers it to be a need for fairness and Sara agrees. Regarding working on one or two tasks at a time, Sara is not a believer in multi-tasking. Marc also has a low restlessness score and he does his best work when he is not interrupted. [20:56] Marc keeps his phone away from himself when he needs to concentrate. He turns the automatic download in Outlook off. People with low restlessness scores tend to have ‘bright, shiny object syndrome’ and their productivity goes way down. [21:27] It can be very stress-reducing for Sara to protect herself from interruptions, and she can boost her productivity be avoiding interruptions. Sara also is happiest when her tasks are not tightly controlled by others. She would much rather be asked than told to do a task. [22:34] Sara reads some things she can do to stay out of stress. Sara can set aside time each week to follow some new interest or satisfy new curiosity, indulge her sense of adventure whenever possible, and use vacations or hobbies to try new activities. [22:54] Sara can create frequent opportunities to discuss future goals, plans and activities with her family and/or coworkers; make schedules that allow her flexibility in executing tasks and plans; and develop work schedules that allow her to spend significant periods of time on one project, without interruption. [23:14] Sara can use time management skills, gatekeepers, and any other means to protect herself from distractions and obstructions from working on tedious tasks and arrange major work schedules in such a manner that she can fit in a few interruptions without getting behind. [23:37] Sara can establish routines for the beginning or end of the day to provide background structure when life gets busy. [23:50] Sara is already doing the last activity. She has established alone thinking time for every morning getting ready for the day and in the evening getting ready for bed. She follows them even if she goes traveling. Marc wants Sara to be very aware of keeping those patterns as habits. [25:35] Sara has not yet regularly set aside weekly time to follow new interests or satisfy curiosity but she has tried it from time to time. She indulges her sense of adventure whenever possible and tries new activities on vacations or as hobbies. She sees that finding the time to do more of that would bring her greater satisfaction. [26:15] Marc reminds Sara to take time out during the day to do something creative. So far, she is not taking enough time to do that. She is very task-oriented which keeps her from taking breaks. That frustrates her. Having a creative streak and being so orderly is an unusual combination. [27:02] Sara looks at managing needs for physical energy and thought. Sara is rated moderately on physical energy — she’s not inactive and not extremely active. Sara is rated moderately low on thought. Sara reads her 10 likely needs. [27:26] Sara may need a minimum of prolonged activity, stimulation of new ideas, friendly low-key surroundings, time for reflective thought, unhurried work conditions, quick decisions from others, forceful and definite bosses or peers, and a minimum of ambiguity in situations. [27:59] Sara may also need thoughtful suggestions from others and opportunities to take action quickly. [28:03] Being moderately low in thought means Sara likes to make big decisions in a fairly matter-of-fact basis but if there is no right answer, or there is a lot of ambiguity, it is likely to cause Sara stress. Marc relates a client example. [30:24] Sara lists the needs that resonate with her: stimulation of new ideas, friendly, low-key surroundings, time for reflective thought, unhurried work conditions, quick decisions from others, thoughtful suggestions from others, and opportunities to take actions quickly. [30:50] The ‘thoughtful suggestions from others’ need is in the same vein as the preference to be asked and not told. Fairness plays into this. The cohesiveness of the team is really important. [31:25] To avoid stress, Sara can plan schedules and projects so she can stop and think about where she has been and where she is going, give more time to abstract or philosophical thought and activities, and avoid taking on too many projects or social obligations when things are getting hectic at work. [31:50] Sara can develop a relaxing, low-key hobby or recreation and make use of the curative powers of this activity often, and build family plans and goals, carefully using a thorough planning procedure so that she looks at all the factors and options for important decisions. [32:11] Sara can develop contacts with aggressive but careful thinkers who can help her think things through carefully without holding her back unnecessarily, work out rules with those close to her that allow her to move quickly on little issues but help her to be cautious on important ones. [32:33] Sara can remind family and co-workers that she needs fast-paced action when decisions are required and ask them to push options aggressively while helping her avoid black-and-white thinking. [32:46] Sara tells which activities resonate with her: getting fast-paced action when decisions are required and help to avoid black-and-white thinking is important to Sara. Marc encourages Sara to develop a relaxing, low-key hobby or recreation and make use of the curative powers of this activity. [33:22] Marc asks Sara to use her creative streak to figure out the activity and to give herself permission to take the time to go off and do it, understanding that she will be a better person for it. Sara just finished an assignment of making a personal video that related to work, to be used at work. She was very excited to have that creative outlet. [34:57] Marc asks Sara to give herself permission to sit with that feeling — the combination of knowing her project was wanted and being able to be creative with it. Marc asks her to bookmark it mentally so that when something else comes up, she can bring this feeling back. Sometimes she may need to go ask for similar projects. [36:25] Sara compares her work role to being typecast as an actress. Marc explains as we hit our 50s and 60s, staying in our role becomes exhausting to us. The stamina of our 30s and 40s is no longer there. [37:17] Marc gives Sara homework. Synthesize the 30 needs down into about 10. Then write an open-ended question about each need, and know what to listen for  when she asks these questions — if the answer feels right to her, or if she should run away as fast as she can go. She needs to know her red flags and pay attention to them in interviews. [38:08] Sara also needs to take her assignment of usual behavior, strength phrases that she translated into her own words and turn them into a narrative. This will be her story to share about herself. The key piece is to write it the way she talks, not the way she writes. Marc suggests saying it into her phone then transcribing it. [38:47] Sara’s third assignment for this session will be to talk to three people at work she knows and trusts and three people from her personal life and ask them each for three to five phrases that describe her. [39:10] We behave a certain way at work and another way in our personal life. Marc wants Sara to note the words both sets of three people use, and look for overlap. [39:37] Marc will do one feedback session more with Sara that will not be recorded for the podcast, so this podcast series is completed. [39:49] Sara says she has learned from the experience so far that she is a lot more comfortable with what she is seeking. She has been aware of a lot of what was discussed for a while but she is now more comfortable in articulating it and leveraging it for a future job search. [40:28] Sara synopsizes what she learned about herself, that now she feels like she has the understanding to rebuild her LinkedIn profile and the words and phrases to tell her interesting story in a professional setting.

Today on the Heinemann Podcast we’re talking about tough conversations in the classroom.Do you find yourself struggling with how to respond to students when topics like race, gender, politics, region and sexuality are brought up at school? These subjects are part of our students’ lives.So then how do we create learning conditions where kids can ask the questions they want to ask and have tough conversations? Author Sara Ahmed says it begins with discomfort and not trying to save the moment.In Sara’s new book, Being the Change: Lessons and Strategies to Teach Social Comprehension, she explores what happens when we step back as teachers, and allow students to take the lead. She says, when we welcome discomfort in the classroom, we promote student growth and deeper conversation.We started our conversation learning about the inspiration behind Sara’s book.

Ever get so discouraged when you feel like God allows things to happen TO you? In Sara's home they have been learning about perspective...shifting our mindset. Maybe what is happening around you is not TO but FOR you or FOR someone else. As we enter the new year, let us be encouraged that there is purpose when things don't go our way!

This month novelist Sara Taylor joins us for a show all about literary families that span multiple generations. From the Forsytes of The Forsyte Saga to the Buendías of One Hundred Years of Solitude, we continue to be fascinated by stories that follow bloodlines across decades. In Sara’s beautifully-written debut novel The Shore, multiple descendants of one family live and survive on a group of islands in the Chesapeake Bay off the coast of Virginia.
