Kyle Vowinkel is a decorated former FBI senior executive, West Point graduate, keynote speaker, and author of the forthcoming book Shaping Chaos. During more than 24 years with the FBI, Kyle served on both the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and Crisis Negotiation Unit, making him one of only five agents to serve on both. He has negotiated with kidnappers, pirates, and terrorists and deployed alongside U.S. Special Operations Forces. Today, he helps leaders assess risk, make better decisions under uncertainty, influence others, and act decisively when the stakes are high. On this episode we talk about: Why Kyle decided to serve his country and ultimately pursue a career with the FBI How earning money from a paper route at 11 taught him the value of saving and investing early The financial lessons Kyle learned from his father and through government service How Kyle built nearly 32 years of government service and incorporated his military time into his federal retirement Launching his business, Inner Perimeter, after retiring from the FBI How professional connections helped create opportunities for Kyle after leaving the FBI Why nurturing relationships over the long term is one of the most valuable things you can do for your career The radically different approaches Kyle learned from serving on both the Hostage Rescue Team and Crisis Negotiation Unit How lessons from high-stakes FBI operations translate directly into sales, leadership, and entrepreneurship The four-step “path to influence”: framing, empathy, rapport, and giving people choices How Kyle used genuine connection and empathy during the Boston Marathon bombing manhunt Why “control can extract compliance, but choice creates commitment” How giving people agency can make them more committed to a decision Why empathy doesn't require agreeing with someone The importance of seeing a situation from another person's perspective before trying to influence them What entrepreneurs and leaders can learn from crisis-response decision-making Why leaders should establish decision-making triggers before a crisis happens How businesses can prepare for uncertainty by planning for best-case, most likely, and worst-case scenarios Kyle's forthcoming book, Shaping Chaos, and the lessons he drew from his FBI career Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Make the hard decisions before the pressure hits.Kyle explains that emotions tend to rise while rational thinking declines as a crisis intensifies. One way to counter that is to establish decision-making triggers in advance. Whether you're responding to a kidnapping or preparing a business for a major market event, knowing ahead of time what circumstances will trigger specific actions can help teams respond decisively rather than emotionally. 2. Influence starts with understanding, not coercion.Kyle's experience as a crisis negotiator taught him that people are more receptive when they feel seen, valued, and heard. Framing the conversation from the other person's perspective, demonstrating empathy, building genuine rapport, and giving people choices can create a much stronger path to influence than simply trying to force compliance. 3. Relationships remain a competitive advantage.Kyle emphasizes that professional relationships need to be nurtured over time rather than activated only when you need something. Checking in, helping others, and building genuine connections creates a network that can support you throughout different seasons of your career. As Kyle puts it, AI may change how we work, but it can't replace the one-on-one relationships that help people succeed. Notable Quotes: “I've been working since I'm eleven.” “You can let chaos shape you, or you can try to shape the chaos.” “Control can extract compliance, but choice creates commitment.” “When people feel that they are seen, valued, and heard, that's the kind of three trifecta.” “Empathy is not judgment.” “You don't just want them to go along because they have to go along. You want them choosing to.” “You make the hard decisions in advance.” Connect with Kyle Vowinkel: Website: https://www.kylevowinkel.com/ Book: Shaping Chaos, available for pre-order ahead of its November release A Word from Our Sponsors:- The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

In this episode we answer an email from Cameron.  First, we consider the long history of consumer marketing and how the retail financial services industry fits into it, including reviewing developments in financial services business models over the past century.  In that context, we then break down why the current most popular business models are fear-based, which leads to retirement planning firms pushing “paycheck replacement,” annuities and other inefficient solutions involving buckets, ladders and flower pots.   We also discuss how AUM combined with fear-based business models leads to the biggest current problem in retirement planning -- chronic underspending, and why that is unlikely to change in the near future.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Links:Empire of Things:  Empire of Things: How We Became a World of Consumers, from the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-First – An Epic History of Goods and the Modern Material Life: Trentmann, Frank: 9780062456328: Amazon.com: BooksPropaganda:  Bernays, Edward L.

We respond to a listener who sat through a pitch from an Atlanta-area retirement planning firm and walked away hearing the same two levers again and again: income and annuities, followed by taxes and crash fears when challenged. That's the hook for a much bigger conversation about why so much retirement advice is designed to manage anxiety instead of maximizing outcomes.We trace the roots of modern financial marketing through consumer culture and the persuasion playbook, from early propaganda techniques to the behavioral finance insights that explain how fear and incentives shape decisions. Then we map that history onto the financial services industry itself: the commission era, the loaded mutual fund era, the rise of assets under management (AUM), and today's shift toward selling “sleep well at night” reassurance. Along the way, we talk about why “income-first” retirement planning can be tax-inefficient, why liquidity and total return matter, and why bucket, ladder, and flower pot strategies often solve for feelings before they solve for math.After the big-picture rant, we bring it back to practical portfolio work. We run through the weekly market snapshot and performance across the show's diversified sample portfolios, spanning stocks, Treasury bonds, gold, commodities, managed futures, and more. We also detail an OPTRA portfolio rebalance after a long stretch without rebalancing, including exactly what we sold and bought and what the rule-based experiment is meant to reveal.Support the show

What if the most valuable currency in business isn't money, influence, or technology — but relationships? In this episode of the Agents of Innovation podcast, host Francisco Gonzalez sits down with entrepreneur, author, community builder, and longtime technology executive Joshua Evarts to explore a career that has taken him from building and selling tech companies to working alongside U.S. forces in Iraq, revitalizing historic downtown Meridian, Idaho, and creating The Vault, an experiential cigar lounge built around authentic relationships. Joshua shares how curiosity and a willingness to walk into unexpected rooms helped shape his entrepreneurial career, what his time in Iraq taught him about leadership, and why he believes leaders should be slow to hire, quick to fire, transparent about failure, and committed to serving the people around them. The conversation also explores the philosophy behind Joshua's new book, “If Jesus Smoked Cigars: Eight Lessons in Relational Leadership.” Despite the provocative title, the book isn't really about cigars — it's about what happens when relationships become the foundation of how we lead, build organizations, and live our lives. Francisco and Joshua also discuss why cigar lounges can create unusually meaningful conversations, the difference between online influence and authentic relationships, and why technology, social media, and AI make real human connection more important than ever.

Good morning Church at Four Hills! Thank you for joining us as Stacy Stafford is bringing us a sermon entitled "Under The Influence" from Ephesians 5:15-21. To find out more visit us at www.churchatfourhills.org New Recording 31

We tend to measure influence by followers, platforms, and applause. But Jesus measures influence differently. He looked at ordinary people on a hillside and said, "You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world." In Matthew 5:13–16, Jesus reminds us that the way we live should point to the God we love. We're called to be salt that preserves, purifies, flavors, and creates thirst—and light that reveals, guides, and shines.

Did you know there's a whole scientific field that just studies friction?? It's true! And we can apply a lot of those findings to help us stick better to the pole.In this episode we'll dig into why you might be too slippery or too sticky by focusing on friction and research from tribology (much of it drawn from prosthetics studies). We'll talk about how skin, fat and muscle all contribute to grip and how to navigate each. I also break down all the different types of grips and when/why you might want to use each one.Want to train with me?

In today's episode, I sit down with skateboarding legend and entrepreneur Tony Hawk. We discuss how skateboarding taught him to overcome fear, embrace failure, and develop the perseverance required to master something new. Tony shares why determination must be balanced with knowing when to walk away, how he stayed true to himself while facing criticism, and what transformed his name into a global business. He also reflects on the unexpected success of his video games, learning from other philanthropic leaders, and using his influence to build skateparks in underserved communities. Tony explains why expanding access to skateboarding remains the legacy that matters most to him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Picture the sound of a bone snapping - the kind of sound that makes you wince - and ask yourself how often you've thought about your bone health. Most of us only think about bone density when something breaks. Until then, your bones stay almost invisible, carrying you through every day. In today's episode, Professor Elaine Dennison, a world-leading expert in bone health, explains why that needs to change, why stronger bones are key to living more healthy years, and why declining bone health isn't inevitable. Elaine explains why it's not just about avoiding broken bones, but about learning to understand one of the most important living tissues in your body. By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly how to protect your bones so they can look after you now and for many years to come. Could your bones be the missing anti-aging link you've been missing?

Today is Fed rate day. This afternoon Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh announced a unanimous decision to increase the Fed funds rate by 0.25%. Today we're going look deeper into the bond market functioning and not focus on the Fed. But the real question is whether the Fed leads the market, or whether the market has in fact determined interest rates independently of any committee decision. Was the Fed announcement merely a reflection of what the market has already been saying for weeks?You see bond yields are determined by the laws of supply and demand, combined with a risk premium layered on top of the coupon rate.The simplest explanation for bond yield and discounting the bond price is to ask each of you listening to this podcast for your own personal decision when presented with a bond offer. Let's imaging for a moment that the coupon rate on a 10 year bond is 5%. That is the rate to maturity. But now let's say that inflation is running at zero percent per year. That 5% face value on the bond is real income that is coming to you each and every year for that 10 year period. At the end of 10 years you get the final year of interest along with the full face value of the bond. That's the ideal scenario that every investor would want. But now let's imaging a different scenario. Let's imagine that inflation is running at 4% and the bond has a face value of 5%. The simple math says that your yield is only 1% above the face value of the bond. So while the bond says 5%, the currency is being devalued by 4% leaving a difference of 1%. That might not be so attractive. So instead, you decide you're going to offer to buy the bond at a discount in order to compensate for the fact that the bond is only giving you a yield that is 1% above inflation. You will notice that the Fed's opinion of interest rates didn't come into the conversation for your personal investment. You are merely making a decision about what rate you want the bond to yield in order to meet your investment criteria. ------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Most sellers think influence starts when they make their case.It doesn't.In this episode of Sales with ASLAN, Tom Stanfill and Tab Norris unpack Truth #17 from ASLAN's 30 Truths for 30 Years series: Influence Begins With Validation. When a buyer strongly disagrees with your recommendation, the instinct is often to explain harder, present more evidence, or make a stronger argument. But that usually makes the buyer defend their point of view even more.Tom and Tab explain why the better path to influence is to first understand and validate the buyer's perspective. That does not mean agreeing with them. It means making sure they feel heard before you try to lead them somewhere new.In this episode, you'll learn how to:Create buyer receptivity before presenting your point of viewValidate without becoming passive or simply agreeingUse ASLAN's Take the Trip concept to understand the buyer's perspectiveRecognize when you are listening just to prepare your rebuttalUse curiosity to uncover what you may be missingReflect a buyer's point of view back so they genuinely feel understoodAsk permission before introducing an alternative perspectiveKnow when to slow down instead of forcing your pitch into the meetingBalance validation with the responsibility to lead and influenceTom also explains why one of the most useful mindsets in a difficult sales conversation is simply: “I may be wrong.” That mindset creates the curiosity needed to understand what is actually driving the buyer's position. And as Tab points out, validation does not mean abandoning the sale. Once the buyer feels understood, sellers still have a responsibility to bring insight, challenge assumptions when appropriate, and help the customer evaluate another point of view. If you work in B2B sales, sales leadership, sales enablement, consultative selling, or account management, this episode offers a practical framework for handling difficult conversations without creating more resistance.Want to learn more about all ASLAN has to offer?

New episode out now! We take a semi-detour to a galaxy far, far away with the season three episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, “Sphere of Influence”. We debate the role of the Jedi within the Republic and talk about how they serve as diplomats, law enforcement, security, advisors, monks, or investigators whenever the need arises. We discuss how this show is for children and therefore the “mystery” is highly simplified, think the tone can swing wildly between Saturday Morning Cartoon and complicated political intrigue, pick apart the sequel trilogy at length, and are mildly amused by the George Lucas self-insert character. We also talk about bonkers Star Wars nomenclature, think it is interesting that this episode dealt with the blocking of trade routes and frustration with a slow democratic process, and lament the oversaturation and corporatization of Star Wars media as a whole. Katy forgot about LEGOs, Carrie is haunted by images of dismemberment, Maddy has a skeleton friend, and Mack does a lot of explaining (and justifying). We also are very confused by the abundance of mismatched accents, touch on the topic of gender in a galaxy full of different alien species, discuss how sci-fi / fantasy mysteries are harder to judge as they have different rules, and Mack runs a mini-game where we try to differentiate between real and fake character names. Listen to hear more about familiar props, weird animation, The Fast and the Furious, cool stunt doubles, Arthurian knights, beach towels, and the mouths of Rodians. We also want to give a shout out to voice actors – within this episode you will hear our attempted impressions of various Star Wars characters as well as John Wayne, the Green Goblin, stun lasers, goats, and more! Enjoy!“Star Wars: The Clone Wars – it's good sometimes.” - MackTW: Current global politics, John Wayne Gacy, Catholic priest scandals, racism, slavery.

What happens when you care deeply about helping someone learn, but they simply aren't engaging?In this episode of Life = Choices, Choices = Life, Kim Olver explores one of the most frustrating truths in education, parenting, coaching, supervision, and relationships:You can teach someone, but you can't make them learn.Kim explains the difference between teaching and learning, why trying harder to control another person can actually move us away from influence, and how Choice Theory® offers a more effective way to think about motivation and responsibility.Rather than asking, “How do I make them learn?” Kim encourages us to ask a different question: What conditions can I help create that will make learning more likely?That shift opens the door to looking at the relationship, relevance, respect, meaningful choice, fear of failure, competing needs, and the many factors that affect whether someone is ready to engage.Kim also explores why compliance is not the same as learning. A person may complete an assignment, follow instructions, or produce the behavior we want because of pressure, rewards, or consequences, but that doesn't necessarily mean real learning has taken place. Real learning requires participation.It happens when the learner thinks about the information, questions it, connects it to something they already know, tests it, applies it, and makes it their own.The same principle applies outside the classroom. You may know exactly what would help your adult child. You may have advice that could save a friend months of heartache. You may explain something to your partner and wonder why they don't see what seems obvious to you.But caring doesn't give us control.Sometimes the most respectful thing we can do is offer what we know, create the best conditions we can, and allow the other person the agency to decide what to do with it.In this episode, Kim discusses:The difference between teaching and learningWhy you cannot control another person's behaviorHow influence differs from coercionWhat conditions can support learningThe role of relationship, relevance, respect, and meaningful choiceWhy compliance is not the same as learningLearner agency and personal responsibilityHow Choice Theory helps clarify what belongs to the teacher and what belongs to the learnerWhy this same principle applies to parenting, coaching, supervision, and relationshipsHow Mental Freedom approaches information as invitational rather than prescriptiveQuestions to ConsiderAm I doing what I reasonably can to create conditions in which learning can occur?Am I taking responsibility for something that ultimately belongs to the learner?Am I trying to influence, or am I trying to control?Does the person I'm trying to teach understand why the information matters?Am I allowing enough room for the learner to make the information their own?Key TakeawayYou can teach. You can encourage. You can influence. You can invite. But learning? That belongs to them.

Chaos always prompts us to search for something solid. Confronted by the upheaval of economic reckoning, ecological exhaustion, and existential uncertainty, our souls are reaching for anything tangible and true. We want what's real. That's the core message of Ryan Levesque, a seven-time Inc. 5000 CEO who walked away from his former life to move with his family to a farm in Vermont. He joins Michael and Megan to talk about his book Return to Real and how we can respond wisely to the hunger felt in our souls and in the marketplace within an artificial, digital age. He unpacks how we can craft moments—at work and at home—that reward what makes us uniquely human. Because that's what we're all longing and looking for.Memorable Quotes“The double craving—what your body, your heart, what your spirit is starving for right now—is also what much of the market is starving for. And when you can find the intersection… there's economic opportunity. What's good for your biology can also be good for your bottom line.”“The last decade, in many ways, in business was a story about dopamine… ‘Create an app that's addictive so people keep coming back to it.' But if we look at most of the maladies of modern life—loneliness, disconnection—they are symptoms of a lack of the neurotransmitter oxytocin. Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter of trust, of love.”“We're swimming in this sea of artificial everything, and we're seeking truth. We live in an era of a default state of distrust… We no longer trust our eyes and ears, our sensory experience, when we are experiencing the world through a screen.”“The truth is in the tension. It's not ‘Throw AI in a bin.' It's not ‘Go 100% analog.' It's about picking the right moments and the right places to insert it.”“People will pay for work that's been attached to a real human life… When people see the work and the effort that's gone into something, they value it. That's the provenance premium.”“Just because the technology is capable of doing something doesn't necessarily mean that that's how we should be using that technology.”“I tell my kids all the time: ‘Choose your hard, otherwise your hard will choose you.' What we've done and what we're doing is not easy… but all things in life worth doing are hard.”“If you are not analog by design, you will become digital by default… There are trillion-dollar technology companies that will not stop until every moment of human attention has been consumed and monetized… So if you're not fighting against those forces actively… then you will be consumed by the digital vortex.”Key TakeawaysYour Craving and Your Market's Are the Same. What your body and spirit want right now also reflect what much of your market wants. That double longing reveals economic opportunity.Optimize for Oxytocin. Dopamine has long been stealing the headlines, but the neurotransmitter of the next decade is oxytocin, which signals trust and love. How can you make your business more human?Don't Advertise Your AI. Deploy AI away from customer-facing environments. The technology we use helps power what's possible, but the work people value is attached to human effort and human lives.Defying Digital Requires Intention. In a world built on and by technology where trillions are spent on directing our attention, we must seek out ways to reintegrate what's real—to choose analog by design.A Rhythm You Can Try Today.  Slowing for a few moments can shift an entire day. Ryan Levesque suggests a simple resolution from Ali Jafarian: Touch earth before touching a screen.ResourcesReturn to Real: The Last Human Advantage in an Age of Artificial Everything by Ryan LevesqueThe Digital Contrarian (Ryan's Weekly Newsletter)The Full Focus Insider (Megan Hyatt Miller's Newsletter)Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall KimmererThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Nintendo just gave us our best look yet at the Ocarina of Time remake, and while nearly everything about it appears remarkably faithful to the original, its new visual direction left us with a lot to talk about! In this episode, Casen goes into the latest Nintendo Directs completely blind as we react to the Ocarina of Time remake, debate Link's redesigned appearance and the game's new art style, and ask how much a remake should preserve the original's visual identity. Then we jump into the rest of Nintendo's announcements, including Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, Resident Evil, Metroid, Persona, Romancing SaGa, and several surprises we weren't expecting. What did you think of the new look for Ocarina of Time? Is this exactly what you wanted from a remake, or has something been lost in translation?

Let us face it: if you walk into a presentation, sales meeting, or team huddle expecting people to be resistant, skeptical, or disinterested, you have already sabotaged your results. Too many professionals radiate low expectations, and then wonder why their team slacks off or why prospects refuse to buy. Persuasion is a transfer of the expectations you project.  Those expectations directly shape how others perform and respond to you.     The Pygmalion Effect is a proven psychological phenomenon where higher expectations placed upon individuals lead to an increase in their performance. It's also known as a self-fulfilling prophecy: people subconsciously pick up on your subtle cues, vocal inflections, and body language. When you expect someone to succeed, or make a buying decision, your belief creates a psychological climate that makes it significantly easier for them to say YES.   Is there a downside to expectations? Absolutely, and it is known as the Golem Effect, where low or negative expectations cause a person's performance to plummet. On the flip side, unrealistic expectations can backfire just as fast, creating stress, demotivation, and buyer's remorse.     When you apply the Pygmalion Effect in sales or leadership, you gain the advantage because you control the psychological altitude of the interaction. By treating your prospects as smart and buyers, you bypass their primitive lizard brain defenses. They will naturally rise to meet the high standards you set, convincing themselves that doing business with you is the most logical and rewarding decision.     Persuade With Power Kurt Mortensen Advanced Influence Trainings Maximize Your Influence Take Your Persuasion IQ

Most of what passes for leadership advice today is polish. You say the right things, avoid conflict, perform confidence until you believe it yourself. This episode is about the opposite. We're talking about what happens when you stop performing and start operating: how to build relationships that are actually real instead of transactional, how to handle conflict without flinching or blowing it up, and why the most effective leaders aren't the cleanest; they're the ones willing to own their flaws and use them. We get into the idea of the "antihero." He's not a villain, not a saint, but someone pragmatic enough to do what the moment requires instead of what looks good on camera. We talk about credibility versus performative influence, why so much content today is loud but hollow, and how the stories we tell ourselves (culturally and individually), shape whether we actually grow or just look like we are. If you're tired of leadership advice that sounds good and does nothing, this one's for you.

If you've been following health and medical headlines over the past few weeks, you've likely seen a renewed and urgent conversation around postpartum depression—a condition that affects millions of new mothers worldwide, often with devastating consequences. While we've long understood that postpartum depression is deeply multifactorial—shaped by a complex web of hormonal shifts, psychological stressors, and socio-economic factors—a compelling wave of new data points to a key physical variable that might be playing a far bigger role than we previously realized: how we manage pain during cesarean deliveries. Specifically, emerging studies are highlighting a striking potential association between the use of general anesthesia during C-sections and a higher risk of subsequent postpartum depression compared to neuraxial options like epidurals or spinal blocks. Why would the choice of anesthetic in the operating room ripple into neurochemical changes weeks or months later? In today's episode, we're going to dive deep into this latest data. We'll break down what the numbers actually tell us, examine the clinical nuances, and explore the potential biological and neuroendocrine mechanisms of action—from acute inflammatory cascades to neurotransmitter disruption—that could explain this link.1.

Jeffrey Pfeffer has spent decades showing that people-first companies outperform, and just as long watching that evidence lose to habit. His answer is blunt: whether you're cautious about power or thirsty for it, there's no denying its role in the workplace, and ideas without power are just ideas. In this revisited episode, Dart and Jeff explore the purpose of power, the knowing-doing gap, and how to build profits by putting people first.Jeffrey Pfeffer is the Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he has taught since 1979. He is the author of several books, including The Human Equation, Dying for a Paycheck, and 7 Rules of Power.In this episode, Dart and Jeff discuss:- Why most of us are ambivalent about power- Why a big title doesn't make you powerful- Why ideas alone don't change anything- The seven rules, and which one matters most- Why we never pick the leaders we say we want- Why evidence keeps losing to habit- Getting ideas past people who can ignore you- Why HR keeps losing the power game- Can you have power and put people first?- And other topics…Jeffrey Pfeffer is the Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he has taught since 1979.

In B2B sales, hitting a wall with leadership turnover, rigid procurement negotiations, or declining email response rates can derail even the most promising deals, and navigating these complex hurdles requires a shift from transactional tactics to a robust strategy of strategic selling. In this episode, co-hosts Dave Hanley and Mark Cox of In The Funnel dive into the mailbag to answer real-world questions from high-performing sellers, exploring how to manage account transitions when key decision-makers move on while sharing insights on leveraging tools like a key account plan to check in on client value. They also break down how to loop procurement into the deal-making process early on to minimize disruption and how to stand out on social media with value-driven outreach, referencing classic sales resources like The New Strategic Selling by Miller Hyman and Social Selling and Influence by Timothy Hughes and Adam Gray to help you humanize your sales approach and protect your pipeline.

Does the Greek diaspora really have influence — or simply access?Endy Zemenides, Executive Director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC), joins Global Greek Influence for a wide-ranging conversation about power, advocacy and the changing geopolitical environment facing Greece, Cyprus and the global Hellenic community.Zemenides challenges the diaspora to think beyond visibility and ask a harder question: are Greeks actually at the tables where decisions are made?We discuss why traditional Greek advocacy has too often amounted to “talking to ourselves”; why the next generation of the diaspora must exercise influence outside the Greek community; and how Greece and Cyprus can build real strategic leverage in an increasingly uncertain international order.The conversation also turns to Turkey and Erdoğan, NATO, the future of the rules-based order, European defence, and the Cyprus question — including a provocative challenge: 50 years after 1974, what should Cyprus aspire to become by 2074?“If you're not at the table, you're not going to have influence.”A conversation about the difference between having connections and having power — and what Greeks around the world can do with both.Global Greek Influence explores how Greeks and the diaspora shape business, politics, culture and global affairs.Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code: EGYR37IF1FMOXV0M

In episode 491 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne talks with guest Meredith Fontana, a Denver-based landscape photographer and former paleontologist, about the journey toward discovering a unique photographic voice. Drawing on her scientific background, Meredith Fontana highlights how observation skills honed in paleontology have profoundly shaped her approach to photography, allowing her to notice and capture details that many overlook. The conversation explores why deeply personal connections to subject matter are vital for moving beyond technical mastery and instead creating work rooted in authentic experience rather than chasing trends or iconic locations. Meredith Fontana shares strategies for photographers struggling to find their own vision, including the importance of solitude, immersion in nature, and mindful inward reflection—citing practices such as journaling, meditation, and extended wilderness trips as powerful catalysts for creative growth. The episode also touches on challenges women face in outdoor photography, the benefits of community and mentorship, and the goals of her Nature Photography Academy, which helps photographers transition from technical proficiency to artistic expression. Throughout, both speakers stress the value of pursuing what excites you and allowing your authentic interests to guide your creative process, ultimately encouraging listeners to identify and lean into the unique elements that set their photography apart.

Women Leaders Psychological Safety: How Kerry Siggins Turned "You're Erratic" Into Her Best Leadership Lesson Last updated: September 3, 2026 Trusted by leaders at Stanford University, Ernst & Young, Autodesk, MGM Grand Resorts, and Farmers Insurance Executive Summary: The word that stung most in StoneAge CEO Kerry Siggins' toughest feedback moment was the word that was true. Here's her litmus test for real feedback, how she builds psychological safety without losing accountability, and how women leaders navigate the double bind. Quick Takeaways: If feedback "stings," there's probably truth in it worth examining Psychological safety and accountability aren't opposites — done right, they build each other The double bind is real: women who are direct risk being called aggressive Influence matters more than being right — and it changes how feedback lands U.S. employee engagement hit a decade-low of 31% in early 2026 Jump to:The Feedback Story · Spotting Valid Feedback ·Safety vs. Accountability · The Double Bind ·Action Plan · FAQ As an executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) working with Fortune 50–1000 companies, I've watched brilliant women leaders freeze in two different ways: some can't tell which feedback to take seriously and which to release, and others have been burned so badly by being called "too direct" that they've gone quiet. Both patterns erode psychological safety — theirs, and their team's. This is Part Two of my conversation with Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge and author of Talk With Trust: How to Own Feedback, Spark Growth, and Build Stronger Teams. In Part One, we walked through her SHARES framework for difficult conversations. Here, we go deeper into the moment that started it all — the day a trusted colleague told her she was "erratic" — and what she's learned since about telling real feedback from noise, building psychological safety without losing accountability, and the double bind that so many women leaders still navigate every day. The Feedback That Almost Cost Kerry Siggins Her COO — And Changed Her Leadership Kerry had spent a year having what she thought were deep, honest conversations with her COO. Then, in a discussion about his role and growth path, it came out all at once: "You think you're this inspiring CEO who disrupts the industry, but really what you are is erratic, and you're really hard to work for. You're the problem." Kerry's first instinct was to fire him. She paused instead — because, as she told me, "I don't want to react in the moment." That pause is the whole story. Kerry went home, sat with the feedback, and asked herself a simple question: what's true about this? She landed on one word — erratic — and traced it back to something real: her fast pace and love of new ideas could look, from the outside, like constant direction-changing. She decided, in that moment, to become a "cool, calm, and collected, unflappable leader." It changed how she led. It also cost her the relationship — the way the feedback was delivered damaged the trust between them beyond repair, and her COO eventually left the company. Both things were true at once: the feedback was a gift, and the delivery broke something. That tension is exactly why psychological safety matters — not as comfort, but as the structure that lets hard truths get said before they explode. How to Tell Valid Feedback From Noise Kerry's litmus test is disarmingly simple: if it stings, there's probably some truth to it. She described being called "disingenuous" by someone recently and letting it go completely — because it didn't sting. She knows who she is on that dimension. But "erratic" stung, because some part of her recognized it. That sting is data. The follow-up question matters just as much: is this feedback about who I am, or about someone else's perception and unmet need? "Just because something hits your identity," Kerry said, "doesn't mean that person is right or wrong — it just means they're seeing things differently." Her advice for women leaders receiving feedback that challenges their identity: get curious, ask for examples, and then decide. "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be accurate?" Accuracy requires asking questions. Being right just requires defending your position. She also named something every leader has lived: most of what reaches you has already been filtered. The brain can only process a tiny fraction of available information, and the person giving you feedback is filtering it further through their own fear of your reaction. The fix is direct: ask "what are you not saying right now?" and genuinely invite the rest. Psychological Safety vs. Accountability: Why They're Not Opposites Most leaders treat psychological safety and accountability as a tradeoff — soft versus firm, safe versus serious. Kerry rejects that framing entirely. "There can be accountability in how you're addressing any kind of challenge through dialogue," she said. Her practice: after a hard conversation, put recurring check-ins on the calendar — not as a punishment, but as a standing space to talk about progress, struggles, and wins. "My manager really cares about me" and "I'm being held accountable" become the same sentence, not opposite ones. Accountability only becomes destructive to psychological safety when it's used as a weapon instead of a rhythm. This is the same territory I mapped out recently in a LinkedIn post on the three pillars of trust — and two of them apply directly here. Trust isn't built in one big moment. It's built in the small moments people learn they can count on you. — Sabrina Braham, MA, MFT, PCC Authenticity breaks when a leader hides a mistake to protect their image instead of admitting when they're wrong — exactly what Kerry avoided by sitting with "erratic" instead of dismissing it. And reliability breaks when accountability only shows up when something goes wrong instead of on a consistent rhythm — which is precisely why Kerry's recurring check-ins work: the consistency itself is what makes accountability feel like care instead of a threat. The Double Bind: When Direct Reads as Aggressive I asked Kerry directly: women leaders often face a double bind — direct enough to be respected reads as aggressive; warm enough to be liked reads as weak. How do you navigate it? Her answer came from experience: a fellow board member once told her, in front of a long-time customer, that she was "aggressive" and an "overachiever" — framed as a flaw. "There's no way he would have ever said that to a man," she said. This isn't just anecdote. New 2026 research out of INSEAD confirms the bind is still fully intact: promotion-focused language — bold, action-oriented, opportunity-framed — tends to clash with gendered expectations for women leaders, while prevention-focused, risk-aware language can reinforce perceptions of low competence, a tension that gets sharper under crisis or high pressure. Separate research on women serving as corporate board directors found something even more troubling: the constant work of switching between "warmth" tactics and "competence" tactics to avoid backlash is itself a driver of the disproportionate burnout many women in leadership report — the double bind isn't just unfair, it's exhausting in a measurable way. Kerry's shift wasn't to soften herself — it was to change what she was optimizing for. "I changed my perspective: do I want to be right, or do I want to influence?" When someone in a meeting takes her idea and repeats it as their own, she no longer takes it personally. "That's a great idea, let's build on that" gets her further than proving the idea was hers first. Influence, not being right, became her north star — and it's a reframe available to any woman leader caught in the double bind. You don't have to shrink to be trusted.

Write down exactly why it stung — what did it touch that you believe about yourself? (15 minutes) Separate what's accurate from what's someone else's unmet expectation. Ask: is this something I need to work on, or a relationship I need to manage? (5 minutes) Identify one relationship where you suspect you're only getting filtered information. Plan to ask directly: "What are you not telling me?" (20 minutes) Put one recurring check-in on the calendar with a direct report — framed around progress and support, not correction. (This week) Bring one piece of feedback to your own team: "I'm working on X, and I'd love one honest thing I could do better." Modeling receptivity is the fastest way to build a feedback culture. (Ongoing) The next time you're told you're "too direct," ask for a specific example before deciding whether to change anything. Success metric: you leave with clarity, not just a feeling. Common Mistakes Leaders Make With Feedback and Safety Treating every sting as truth. Not all feedback that hurts is accurate — some reflects the other person's ego or fear, not your reality. Examine it before you internalize it. Defending instead of asking. Over-explaining your intentions in the moment shuts down the other person's willingness to keep talking, even if it doesn't feel defensive to you. Using accountability as punishment. If check-ins only happen when something goes wrong, people stop seeing them as safe — and stop bringing you the truth early. Softening yourself to avoid the double bind. Shrinking your directness doesn't resolve the bind — it just trades one cost for another, and the research suggests the constant self-regulation itself carries a burnout cost. Shift toward influence instead of retreat. Reading body language as neutral....
