Podcasts about initiating

Initiating sex is something that a lot of people struggle with. So why is it hard, and how can we make it easier? That’s what we’re talking about in today’s show. In this episode, we're revisiting a wonderful conversation I had with Vanessa and Xander Marin, the co-hosts of the “Pillow Talks” podcast and co-authors of the book, Sex Talks: Five Conversations That Will Transform Your Love Life. Some of the questions we answer include: Why is initiating sex so hard for so many people? What are the dos and don’ts of sexual initiation? How do you figure out your initiation style? How do you say “no” to a partner's initiation attempt without hurting their feelings? Are there ways to encourage your partner to initiate sex more often? Make sure to check out Vanessa and Xander's website, and visit their Youtube, Instagram, and TikTok to learn more. And be sure to get a copy of Sex Talks! Got a sex question?

The Department of State is continuing to expand its artificial intelligence chatbot known as StateChat, including working toward a mobile version and the ability to query internal messages called cables. That's what John Silson, director of analytics in the State Department's Center for Analytics, recently told FedScoop reporter Madison Alder during an SNG Live event on AI and Automation. During the conversation, they touched on how State is continuing to iterate on StateChat, how the department is working to maxmize adoption, the importance of context in prompting and what comes next. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reopening the deferred resignation program and also offering early retirement to eligible civilian workers as he seeks to “maximize participation.” Hegseth signed a memo on Friday, “Initiating the Workforce Acceleration and Recapitalization Initiative,” that was directed to senior Pentagon leadership, combatant commands, and defense agency and field activity directors. The move comes as department leaders are looking to shed civilian employees and reinvest the savings elsewhere as part of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency efforts. Hegseth said DOD is offering the deferred resignation opportunity, as well as Voluntary Early Retirement Authority, to all eligible civilian employees, noting that exemptions wil be rare. He wrote in a March 28 memo: “My intent is to maximize participation so that we can minimize the number of involuntary actions that may be required to achieve the strategic objectives.” Karen Evans, a longtime government IT official who previously held the role that preceded the creation of the federal chief information officer, was nominated last week to serve as undersecretary for management at the Department of Homeland Security. Evans, whose nomination has been referred to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, joined the Trump administration earlier this year as executive assistant director for cybersecurity at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Evans' role at CISA was one of the most prominent cyber jobs in the federal government, leading the agency's “mission to protect and strengthen federal civilian agencies and the nation's critical infrastructure against cyber threats,” per an official description of the position. Before joining CISA, Evans spent the previous three-plus years working as the managing director of the Cyber Readiness Institute, a nonprofit geared toward educating and creating free cyber tools for small- and medium-sized businesses. For much of George W. Bush's administration, Evans served as administrator of the Office of Electronic Government and Information Technology.

This week, Nonviolence Radio hears from John Paul Lederach, an international peace-builder, mediator and scholar. Stephanie, Michael and John Paul have a rich and wide-ranging conversation, one prominent theme is the power of pockets. This plays on the title of John Paul's latest book: The Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War. In it, he encourages us to remember that we all exist within various communities – pockets of the world – and that each pocket represents a unique perspective which is valuable to every other one: "…there is simultaneously this deep acknowledgment of the specificity of a context and this deep curiosity about what people have done or need to do.…people at a given location, at a given time, have a need to do something in response to what's happening. And in that innovation, their particular pocket, their particular place where they live, brings forward this kind of combination of resilience and resistance to the patterns that lead us toward violence"Only by engaging honestly and kindly with these different views can we create – like a work of art – a better, more peaceful world. One wonderful aspect of this pocket metaphor is that it empowers each and every one of us to make a difference. Even the smallest act of love (in the broadest sense of the word) – wherever one is – is an act of creation. Such simple, accessible actions when woven together re-humanize those we might be inclined to dismiss or degrade. Right from within our pockets, we can build alternatives to the toxic polarization we see so much of today."It's about assuring the protection of the dignity of the people that I am most proximate with and live with, even if we are different. Then my responsibility is to help make sure that this neighborhood, this town, this area, is brought to a level of dignifying the humanity of the people who live here. And I think that's really a key driver to a lot of this. There's an element to this that I refer to as the principle of accessibility. I think one of the reasons that paralysis works, is a very powerful tool, is that people think they don't have access to the lever that will make a difference. But what if the principle of accessibility is that you have access to it?"Initiating change from within our pockets directly and immediately reveals the power inherent in treating each other as worthy. When we listen closely thereby recognizing the dignity of everyone, we can construct together a world that has space for all.

Housing affordability continues to cause concern among a large portion of our population, but today's guest shares how his state agency is working to alleviate that situation.

What I'm trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Don't be afraid of missing out. You're my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself. Luke 12:19-32 MSGFriends,Our initiation into wholehearted maturity and deeper union with Christ unfolds over decades of learning to practice without pressure.Perhaps nowhere is this invitation more hopeful than in parenting.Of all the questions I receive, none are more common than questions about fathering—and none consistently carry within them more weight of pressure and fear or confusion.Pause and consider for a moment: What would it be like to shift from a posture of performance into a posture of practicing without pressure? What would it be like not only to understand but also to accept the reality that our children's lives are held in the hands of a present, caring, and beautifully winsome Father? In the ordinary rhythms of daily life as a dad, what would it be like to encounter God, recognize His presence, feast on His goodness, and, from that nourished place, carry His very essence into the sacred journey of fathering our children?It would change the world.Dare I say, it is changing the world.We are men choosing to become the kind of fathers to whom God is glad to entrust His Kingdom—His rule, His presence—that we might generously reveal His unrelenting affection to our children.Moms and dads, join us for Part 2 as we explore together the hope and promise of participating in the story of our becoming—the story God is authoring in and through our journey of fatherhood.For the Kingdom,MorganP.S.

Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Matthew 7:12 MSGFriends,Few questions come my way as consistently and sincerely as questions about the desire and dilemma of initiating children—particularly sons—into wholehearted maturity. And few aspects of my own initiation have received more of my attention.On behalf of the boys in our world—and the boy within every man (myself included)—I want to invite both men and women to join this roundtable on Initiating Sons.Often beneath our questions about parenting lay fear, shame, or a nagging sense of lack, fueling a persistent apprehension that we are blowing it royally both in what we do and what we leave undone as parents.But if we pause long enough—choosing curiosity over fear and consent over control—we may discover that below our fear lies one of the Gospel's most profound invitations: the invitation to become what we did not have. And as we become, we will naturally offer and initiate from our transformation.Our role as fathers will eventually evolve into an unbreakable bond of siblinghood with our children in the Kingdom of God—where each of us is deeply loved and securely rooted in the heart of our Common Father.Join us for Part 1 of a conversation exploring both the pain and possibility of being initiated—and of offering initiation to our sons.For the Kingdom,MorganP.S.

E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss various approaches to sharing the gospel. They highlight Ray Comfort's creative methods and his intentionality in evangelism. For introverts hesitant to share the gospel, the key is being authentic to who God made them to be. Psalm 139 emphasizes that each person is intentionally designed by God, and every personality type is equipped to evangelize. Believers should explore their unique ways of fulfilling the call to share the gospel, remembering the same Holy Spirit that empowered the disciples resides in them.Declaration evangelism involves intentionally proclaiming the gospel through open-air preaching, one-on-one conversations, or passing out tracts. Bringing someone along for accountability can help, as intentionality is vital. God delights even in small efforts. Begin by incorporating evangelism into everyday activities, such as handing out tracts before a movie. Family is an excellent evangelism team; children can watch and learn as parents hand out tracts. Initiating small steps can build confidence and consistency. For those interested in open-air preaching, starting small is key. One-on-one conversations are another great method, starting with questions about life and purpose. Creativity is essential: go door-to-door, give out tracts, or visit places where people are open to discussions. Confrontational evangelism focuses on engaging others with the intent of confronting, often involving apologetics. This approach might include visiting specific groups, like Mormons or Muslims, to witness. Preparation is crucial—knowing why you believe what you believe and being ready to answer common questions. Admitting when you don't know something is okay, as humility resonates. Online evangelism is another significant avenue. Social media offers a vast mission field, but it's vital to remember there's a person behind every screen. Oscar suggests transitioning online connections into real-life conversations, such as inviting someone for coffee. Lastly, relational evangelism focuses on building relationships with coworkers, friends, and neighbors. Acts of service, like sharing baked goods or helping neighbors, can open doors to share the gospel. Living out the gospel authentically in daily life allows others to see its transformative power. Holidays provide natural opportunities to evangelize, whether by hosting gatherings or sharing the gospel during celebrations. The key is taking intentional steps to share the gospel in ways that align with one's personality and circumstances.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this Bouncing Love Bubble Meditation we include* Initiating a state change* Attempting to collaborate with our chemistry for a lift* Increase heart brain coherence* Feelings of Gratitude* The awareness of your body field* Amplify biophotons of love light in the body* Release your current version of reality (for the moment)* Travel to imaginal utopian lands - what will you imagine?* Erupt in LOVE because you can - proclaim to the universe - I AM LOVE!!!* Choose one small thing to change in your lifeBeautiful Beings - I can ALMOST guarantee that if you do this meditation you will feel a bit better. We are capable of moderating our mood to the best of our abillity and sometimes we need a burst of JOY to make that possible. A state change, a lift. You will hear me laughing, almost crying and even my stomach gurgle (LOL) as I guide you on this spontaneous adventure into the imaginal world to experience gratitude, love, a utopian landscape of your subconsious and choose to make one small change in your life. Basically, feel better.Today's meditation is inspired by Holly, Lavender and Michelle, three women in my community with teenagers or youth. When I first came up with this meditation I imagined them being able to listen to it and get a lift, but then it went too long and it might not work for the attention span. BUT you could try it. Soft blankets on a big couch and a cuppa tea and this…you could try. I will attempt some other ones for youth soon, I am sparked to do something I can to help with our nervous systems by choice. We can't explain the bizarre time we are in to them, deep inside they know we have failed them in this society. So now it seems like it is time to offer them as many tools as possible - and for me this begins with claiming their imagination. Really it is more like rescuuing it from the reality they have been sold and told. Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe

Unity in purpose and resources can lead to significant outcomes. Celebrating milestones helps to motivate and inspire further action. The church must support those who are struggling to recover.

Daniel Cho has over 29 years of experience in the healthcare industry, currently serving as the Senior Director of Global Pricing at Philips Healthcare. With a background in sales, product management, and pricing strategy, Daniel has a unique perspective on how to effectively communicate value to customers and drive profitability. In this episode, Daniel shares his journey into pricing and the critical importance of understanding the value your product delivers to customers. He emphasizes that pricing should not just be about features but about the economic, operational, emotional, clinical, and societal value that resonates with different stakeholders. Through real-world examples, Daniel illustrates how a well-structured pricing strategy can lead to stronger, more profitable relationships.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover the five key value drivers that can transform your pricing strategy and enhance customer relationships. Learn how to effectively communicate value to different stakeholders within a healthcare organization, from CFOs to clinical staff. Gain insights into structuring contracts and pricing metrics that align with customer needs and perceptions of value.   “Resist on the discount as much as possible. Look for every other ways to solve it rather than the discount. The discount should always be a last resort and not the first thing you want to deliver or give.” – Daniel Cho   Topics Covered: 02:33 - Daniel's journey into pricing 03:23 - The power of pricing strategy, using segmentation and perceived value to differentiate identical products for distinct markets 06:58 -  How two identical products can be integrated differently with existing pricing ecosystems 07:57 - Leveraging his expertise in data analysis to establish Philips' first pricing department 12:11 - Initiating a value-based approach at Philips to create, price, and articulate value 14:22 - Defining value and discussing the 5 key value drivers in a health organization 18:03 - Tailoring value propositions and demonstrating how those four other value streams ultimately lead to financial and strategic benefits 25:22 - An effective sales training Daniel created that teaches salespeople to tailor value-based pitches to different stakeholders' priorities 31:27 - Daniel's best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: “We cannot continue to sell features and benefits, we have to go and sell value.” - Daniel Cho “If the product is not value-based, you can't ask the salespeople to sell value because you have to start from the product that actually deliver and generate value. So, we started from the product managers.” - Daniel Cho “The first one is economic value. Very simple. Help me to make more revenue or help me to save costs so I have an economic benefit.” - Daniel Cho “The next value is the emotional value. How can we create a better experience for the patients and also their own staff so the staff don't get burnout.” - Daniel Cho “Financial value, although as strong as it is, doesn't resonate with everyone.” - Daniel Cho “Stop giving discounts for free. Always get something back from the customer.” - Daniel Cho   People/Resources Mentioned: Philips Healthcare: https://www.philips.com/ Apple Watch Launch: https://www.apple.com/ Bausch and Lomb Contact Lens Case: https://www.bausch.com/   Connect with Daniel Cho: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielkkcho/   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com
