She is the author of Dignity: It's Essential Role in Resolving Conflict and Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People*. Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity. In this episode, Donna and I explore how appreciating dignity can help us bring out the best in people. Key Points Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. Dignity is different than respect. Everyone has dignity, but not everyone deserves respect. A major misconception of dignity is that we receive our worth from external sources. We're at our best when connected to our own dignity, connected to the dignity of others, and connected the dignity of something bigger. Start with vulnerability and empathy. These open the doors to connecting with your own dignity and the dignity of others. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity.

Sandra Matz: Mindmasters Sandra Matz is a Columbia Business School professor, computational social scientist, and pioneering expert in psychological targeting. Her research uncovers the hidden relationships between our digital lives and our psychology with the goal of helping businesses and individuals make better decisions. She is the author of Mindmasters: The Data-Driven Science of Predicting and Changing Human Behavior*. Algorithms are becoming more influential with each passing day. That's why leaders must understand their power and then decide how their organizations engage. In this conversation, Sandra and I discuss where psychological targeting is at, where it's going, and the opportunity you have to make the world a bit better. Key Points Everyone knows everything in a small town (for better or worse). In the same way, psychological targeting can used for both evil and good. Psychological targeting already is successful at identifying wealth, personality, income level, and sexual orientation – and keeps improving. None of this is going away. Understanding how the game of targeting is played can help you make it work to your advantage. Leaders and organization who use targeting responsibly can do tremendous good, including helping people save money and flag early interventions for health crises. Be transparent with what data you're collecting how you're using it. Consider newer practices like federated learning that protect privacy and provide permission-based access. Design systems and practices that anticipate the reality of future leaders with different values.

In this episode of The Hyperfast Agent Podcast, Christina Daves from PR For Anyone, presents at the Hyperfast Sales Summit. With over 1,000 appearances in the media, Christina and her clients have amassed over 1B views and $100M in revenue. Listen to hear how to captivate your audience to cash in on business success. Episode Highlights: Since February, the entire world has changed because of the ongoing global pandemic. Everyone was forced to move online when the world shut down, making it harder to be more visible. Captivating the audience will help agents stand out in the loud world of online marketing. Christina does not have any traditional PR experience, yet has had an incredible amount of success. It all started when Christina won Steve Harvey's Top Inventor competition. SEO from appearing on local and national television has been tremendous for Christina. Find a way to make people stop their scrolling and really examine your content. Most agents make the mistake of having a generic website, stopping them from standing out in the crowd. You only have 1.7 seconds to grab someone's attention, according to a recent lululemon study. If you are too generic, you will not attract the ideal people that you want to work with. Finding your niche will help you as an agent connect to like-minded people. While you can sell to everybody, honing in your message on a certain niche will help you get media attention. Let people know what you can do for them instantly so you can grab their attention in that short window. Once you have figured out your message, you can hire someone to promote it for you. Becoming famous or being featured in an article will help you stand out from all of your competition. There are 3 steps to the process of getting featured in the media. Logos need to be on your website and all of your marketing material so the media exposure will shoot you to the top of the search page. Newsjacking is when you take something from the news and plug it into your real estate content. Become the expert in your industry through the content and value that you provide. Christina shares a plethora of success stories from her own experience and the real estate agents that she works with. Grab the journalist's attention with the hook in your subject line; no one does this better than magazines. Google can be your secret weapon when it comes to finding the right journalist. It only takes 10 minutes per day to make all of this happen. It's going to take a long time for the world to get back to normal, so you better adapt right now. Cindy Ashton and Christina combined forces to create a visibility bundle, the Platinum PR Package, for entrepreneurs to get media exposure. Sharing your story will help you connect to people; it's the most effective form of marketing in today's world. 3 Key Points: Everyone in the country is in a constant state of scrolling when they are on their phone. You have to be able to make them stop. Being newsworthy, creating great hooks, and finding the right journalist will help agents get their spot in the media. What starts with a media connection can see exponential growth when put out on social media.

On this episode of the Toe-2-Toe Podcast, hosts Jenn Murtland and Monica Weakley duke it out over whether or not, as an agent, you should use scripts in your business. While both Jenn and Monica believe scripts can and should be used, they differ on how to use those scripts. This one gets heated!Episode Highlights: There are so many types of scripts that can be used depending on what stage of the process the agent is in.Jenn thinks everyone already uses scripts in life anyway so agents should memorize the stuff that works.Using scripts can help agents avoid saying detrimental responses.People worry more about what they are going to say rather than paying attention to what the other person says.Scripts inadvertently cause agents to be much better listeners.Monica believes in scripts as well but thinks that the scripts should be the words of the agent.You can make one up and use trial-and-error with your own words, or you can take an already-effective script and make it your own.Scripts give agents the comfort of knowing which questions they need to ask.Inevitably, you are going to mess up a bunch of times, but that is the best way to learn.Focusing too much on the script can trip agents up because it distracts them from the actual purpose of helping the client.Agents don’t call for-sale-by-owners because they become attached to the outcome.Jenn believes scripts provide comfort while Monica believes scripts give anxiety.Jenn believes you can memorize the script, use it over and over, and then come back and make it your own.Monica believes you should focus on what your purpose is and ask great questions to see if you can help them.Buyers don’t know what usually comes out of their agent’s mouth, so it will all be new language to them anyway.Both Monica and Jenn believe you should use scripts but they differ on the details of those scripts.Greg McDaniel has been the co-host of the Real Estate Uncensored podcast for over 5 years and 500 episodes.21 years into the real estate game, Greg uses a skeleton script which utilizes the backbone of a conversation to learn as much as possible.Use a script to set up the client to continue talking and give you the information that you need to accomplish your goal.Build a relationship on the personal questions that have nothing to do with real estate.Know how to bring them back from the personal stuff to the main point of the conversation.Everything does not have to be exact when using a script.Greg’s new course, Listen Sell Like Crazy, involves 10 hours of video training from a top real estate trainer.3 Key Points:Everyone uses scripts throughout their lives, that being, we all say the same things to our family and friends.Scripts are necessary, but how you arrive at those scripts is where Jenn and Monica differ.Agents should use scripts as a tool to listen to what their client is saying, let them speak, and find out their motivations.Resources Mentioned:Jenn Murtland (website, LinkedIn, Facebook)Call Jenn at (513) 400-1691 to discuss transitioning to eXp RealtyMonica Weakley (website, LinkedIn, Facebook)Toe 2 Toe Podcast Facebook PageGreg McDaniel LinkedIn Podcast Course (Promo Code: McDaniel)

SUMMARY Harvard-trained geriatrician and award-winning author Louis Aronson introduces a revolutionary perspective on growing old in her book, “ELDERHOOD: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life.” Sharing stories from her personal and professional life, and drawing from history, Aronson offers clarity and understanding about “elderhood,” the third and final stage of life after childhood and adulthood and a period that can span up to 40 years or more. With new insights into aging, medicine, and humanity itself, Aronson teaches us how to reframe these later decades so we can better prepare for and thrive during our final years. KEY POINTS Everyone approaches the topic of aging with some degree of negativity, illustrated by Berkeley professor Guy Micco. “Old” and “elder” have identical denotations but very different connotations. Elderhood has multiple stages, so we need to adopt clearer nomenclature, such as “senior,” “old,” “elderly,” and “aged.” Health and function and how we engage with life can best define our age. Good caregivers connect with older people the way those in a good marriage would: they let the older person speak for him/herself; the two look at each other; they laugh with each other. Just as we learn to take care of children, we need to become comfortable taking care of people in the last stage of life. Choosing to not dye gray hair is one way to let go of internalized ageism. Data shows that becoming socially isolated is like smoking 15 cigarettes a day your whole life. A Harvard longitudinal study on happiness shows that happy adults accept changes and adapt as they go, resulting in optimism and good health. Making friends and creating new relationships makes for happier adults. The number one fear adults have is getting cancer; the second is getting dementia. Exercise is the best way to prevent or delay dementia. QUOTES FROM ARONSON “In medicine, we spend most of most days really dealing with some pretty intense things that fill us with emotions and feelings and thoughts and experiences that are the stuff of literature.” “Elderhood, or the specter of being seen old by others...pretty much starts somewhere between 60 and 70 for most people…but if you’re in Silicon Valley, and if you’re over age 30 or 35, you’re already old.” “People start getting happy in their late 50s, and their happiest time of life…is, hands down, the 60s and 70s.” “When asked the recipe for a good old age, I often give a list: good genes, good luck, enough money, and one good kid, usually a daughter.” “A majority of the most powerful people in politics and many other industries are people in their 60s and early 70s.” “We have created a society where we do everything possible to stay alive yet dread being old.” BUY Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life RECOMMENDATION Listen to this TEDTalk of a mother and son’s tender photographic journey through dementia.

This episode is brought to you by baseballcloud and OnBaseU. iTunes Stitcher Google Spotify Summary: In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I welcome Nunzio Signore, athletic trainer, Owner of Rockland Peak Performance in Sloatsburg NY, author of the book Pitchers Arm Care, Director of the Pitching Lab and a contributing writer for such publications as Inside Pitch Magazine, Elite Baseball Performance and Stack Sports. Nunzio Signore shares his wealth of knowledge about how to properly access the needs of players during training, how to assist players with strength and velocity, and strategies to help them recover in a healthy manner. Show Notes: What made Nunzio transition from soccer to baseball What is the first step that Nunzio would take to train a 16-year player How does Nunzio undergo his player assessments What are some of the things that most kids have problems with How does the core velocity belt help players What is the strength-speed continuum program What will players get out of the pitching lab training Which three things are the top issues that Nunzio is looking for in players How does Nunzio feel about when is it right to give players time off What makes up a great bullpen setting Which factors bring about an unstable pitch Breathing, a good night sleep, and water are fantastic for player recovery What tools and strategies does Nunzio use for his assessments Until velocity of a player increases, he doesn’t add more weight to a player’s weight training What are the biggest new training elements that Nunzio is excited about Why do Nunzio’s players love jump profiling How can you make nutrition a proper part of their training Which resources does Nunzio recommend 3 Key Points: Everyone should sequence their pelvis, thorax, elbow extension, and shoulder internal rotation. The pitch lab aims to produce the complete pitcher by merging pitching inside the nets and strength training. Instead of paying for showcases, pay to develop yourself as a player. Tweetable Quotes: - “People are hungry out there to make sure the kids stay safe and we can increase velocity and command and control safely.” – Nunzio Signore (1:49) - “The assessment in our facility, that’s the cornerstone of what we do at RPP.

Decisions are simply a part of life. There are small daily ones with small consequences. And, there are the life-altering, enormous ones that can cause us a great amount of stress, anxiety and indecision. Since making decisions are inevitable, we need to know how to approach this process—especially if we find ourselves becoming STUCK in our own indecision. In this episode, Giovanna walks us through the process of decision making. She discusses how we can make a decision from a place of clarity and peace instead of one that is influenced by our own ego and rational thinking. She discusses the NEED to tap into our Source, Guide, or Higher Self to seek true direction and encourages listeners in how they can make time in their busy lives to do so. Today’s episode is about decisions Giovanna has been a notorious, neurotic decision-maker A lot of people suffer from the agony of making decisions Please leave a comment or feedback on the She Rises website At the center of all your stresses is YOU Call in your higher self or source Ask yourself a question—a decision that is pending, or something that poses a challenge for you Ask the spirit or higher guidance to come and help us in this process of tapping in How did the process of tapping go for you? How did it affect you? The very place we need to go is usually the place which is the most difficult for us to connect Making quick decisions is something that eludes Giovanna Tapping into yourself is an exercise to know yourself within Cultivate and develop your ability to go into your quiet space People are so entrenched in the external world that they forget to listen to their internal world Your relationship to yourself and your relationship with your source is MOST important Trust in yourself is important for making decisions Giovanna shares a quote from Deepak Chopra, The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life Look at the Universe or Source from a different perspective other than suffering the consequences of making a wrong decision Indecision gets you stuck Where is your indecision keeping you stuck? How is does your indecision manifest in your life? A Course in Miracles’ has a lesson that says, “If I make no decisions by myself, this is the day that will be given to me” In your willingness to find the answer, you need to acknowledge that your ego and logical thinking is actually the one making the decision The decision that is made from logic and intellect is NOT from a place of peace and clarity Learning principles and then, applying principles are TWO different things Take a moment and connect with yourself Write down whatever question comes to you Make 2 columns – write your fears on the left side, and on the right, write the possibilities or outcomes What is influencing your decision-making? Willingness to ask and seek the answer to your questions is very powerful Acknowledge that you do NOT know the answer The sense of “knowing” is in the foreground and the small voice within you is usually placed in the background Indecision is a byproduct of not trusting yourself Intuitive Action and Massive Action should come together in every decision Exercise your decision-making muscle by spending at least 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night tapping into your Higher Self Your mind’s job is to constantly be working Notice your thoughts happening, but don’t shut them down Invite your guide Let go of your decision BEFORE proceeding to try and answer it again Surrendering your decision and asking your guide for the answer is KEY in this exercise When you get distracted, catch that you’ve gone astray and bring yourself back Trust that you can connect with your intuition and Higher Self Simona, today’s caller, is having trouble keeping herself accountable in tapping in and for not being committed in meditation At first, Giovanna had to schedule her tapping so she wouldn't forget She uses an iTunes album called, I Am Wishes Fulfilled Meditation Recording to help her set in Make tapping part of your personal routine Say and vocalize your invitation to your guide Simona realizes her mistake is not inviting the spirit to come and help her Waiting for the answer means you’re not in total surrender The outcomes are not always the things we expect to happen Remember that decision-making is a topic MOST people struggle with Check out the resources mentioned at She Rises website 3 Key Points: Everyone struggles making decisions—so don’t be discouraged in thinking it is only you. Decision making requires you to tap into your inner self and call upon your Guide, so that you can make a decision that comes from a place of peace and clarity. Be willing to surrender your own thoughts and your own ability to rationalize an answer to your question.
