Send us a textWhat happens when a wife goes too far, thinking her “small mistake” wouldn't cost her the marriage? In this episode, you'll hear the powerful (and heartbreaking) moment a woman shares what led to her husband walking out—and why she never saw it coming.Whether or not you've made a mistake like this, there's a crucial lesson here about how even small cracks in a relationship can cause massive breaks if left unchecked.This episode features the audio from a recent YouTube video, where Kingsley Grant—licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Christian Relationship Coach—breaks down a viral clip and uncovers deeper truths about emotional safety, unintentional disrespect, and rebuilding trust.

In this episode, Jeff and Rich review the guest feedback survey from a boutique hotel operated by one of the world's largest hospitality brands. While the guest experience was exceptional, the survey left much to be desired—long, inconsistent, and surprisingly unpolished for such a well-run property and major hospitality brand. They explore why this happens more often than it should, and why the final touchpoint of the guest journey—the post-stay survey—should never feel like an afterthought. Key Takeaways Even top-tier hospitality brands can send poorly constructed surveys. The guest survey is part of the guest experience—and it should feel that way. Overly long, poorly constructed and edited surveys frustrate respondents. A great guest experience deserves a strong finish. The final impression you leave can shape how guests remember their stay. Hotels of all sizes should treat feedback design with the same care as service delivery. A better survey design leads to better data—and better guest satisfaction. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Want to know what we think about your feedback loop? Book a free discovery call to find out!

Peter  | John 18:12-27 | Peter Denies Jesus "I am not." — With these words, Peter denies his Lord, not once but three times. In today's reading from John 18:12–27, we witness the painful fulfillment of Jesus' prediction: Peter, the bold disciple, falters under pressure and denies even knowing Christ. In the dark courtyard, fear, weakness, and sin are exposed—not just in Peter's heart, but in ours. Yet even here, God's grace is not far. As Jesus stands bound and innocent, He bears the guilt of Peter's denial and ours, moving ever closer to the cross. This moment of failure becomes part of the greater story of forgiveness and redemption.

In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of numbing, avoiding, and distracting—how to recognize when you're doing it, whether it's healthy or unhealthy, and what steps you can take to move forward. Inspired by a recent Coffee Chat session inside the PBT® (Post Betrayal Transformation®) Community, we explore the different ways people cope with painful emotions and why certain methods, even seemingly positive ones, might be keeping you stuck.  What You'll Learn in This Episode:  ✅ The three categories of numbing, avoiding, and distracting:  Unhealthy ways (e.g., drinking, smoking, emotional eating, reckless behaviors)  Neutral ways (e.g., binge-watching TV, scrolling social media, procrastination)  Sneaky ‘healthy' ways (e.g., overworking, excessive cleaning, obsessive fitness)  ✅ How to identify if you're using these behaviors to avoid healing ✅ Four powerful questions to ask yourself:  Am I numbing, avoiding, or distracting? If so, how?  What am I trying not to see?  What will my life look like in 5-10 years if I keep this up?  What could my life look like in 5-10 years if I change now? ✅ Why numbing makes it easier to get through the day but prevents real healing ✅ How suppressed emotions surface once you stop numbing—and what to do when they do ✅ How to handle overwhelming emotions at work and in daily life ✅ The importance of self-love in healing and why you deserve to overcome your betrayal for yourself—not just for others  Key Takeaways:  Even positive habits (like working, fitness, or organizing) can be a distraction from true healing.  Suppressed emotions don't go away—they wait for you until you're ready to deal with them.  Healing requires facing, feeling, and processing emotions rather than numbing them.  If you've overcome challenges in other areas of life, you already have proof that you can heal from betrayal too.  You don't have to do this alone—the right support and resources can make all the difference.  Resources & Next Steps:

What if every business problem—whether it’s a lack of cash flow, resources, or room to grow—could be solved by buying another business? And what if the price or your current finances didn’t have to hold you back? On this episode of the Buying Online Business podcast, host Jaryd Krause talks with Tom Shipley, a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and expert in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Tom has built brands that generated over $2 billion in sales and raised more than $100 million for business acquisitions. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Ava, a company that specializes in helping businesses grow through acquisitions. In their conversation, Tom shares how he got started in acquisitions, including his first deal, which helped him triple his business in a short time. He explains when acquisitions make sense, when they don’t, and how to avoid deals that might drain a business’s resources. Listeners will also hear about: Simple strategies for financing and structuring deals, even with limited cash. How to avoid overpaying or putting too much strain on a business. Key steps in due diligence to ensure a deal is a good fit. This episode is full of practical tips for anyone who wants to use programmatic M&A to solve problems and grow their business. Episode Highlights 02:00 Tom’s journey before diving into Tech M&A 10:45 Knowing seller’s intention is the key 19:00 Be careful of deals that are too good to be true 28:00 Communication is crucial in deals 40: Where to find Tom? Key Takeaways ➥ Even businesses with limited cash flow can acquire larger companies through financing strategies like seller financing, debt structuring, and rolling over equity. The key is to underwrite the acquired business's cash flow and growth potential, not just the buyer's current financial state. ➥ Understanding why a seller is exiting allows for deal structures that benefit both parties, such as monthly payouts instead of lump sums, offering tax advantages and a smoother transition. ➥ Leaders should seek "force multipliers" like acquisitions and AI to achieve disproportionate results with fewer resources. These tools can give businesses an edge in competitive markets. About The Guest Tom Shipley is a serial entrepreneur, ecommerce investor, strategic advisor, speaker and M&A expert. His brands have generated over $2B in sales, are household names and he's raised more than $100M for acquisitions. Right now Tom is the co-founder & CEO of AVA—Agency Ventures Aggregator—and focuses on programmatic M&A.

In this episode, Yvonne is joined by Sabina Brennan a health psychologist, neuroscientist, podcaster and best-selling author. Over the years she has helped thousands of people to make looking after their brain health a part of their daily routine. Enabling them to think more clearly and tap into the true power of their brains, including the ability to manifest. She explains why for some people manifestation is almost second nature, while others struggle to recognise that it is even possible. Sabina and Yvonne also discuss why we all tend to focus on the negative and believe things always go wrong for us and why we have to change that habit. KEY TAKEAWAYS  ·         Even sceptical people can become manifesters. ·         The practice of manifestation is not wishful thinking. It brings clarity about your goals, enables you to actually notice the opportunities, and then take action to achieve them. ·         Without realising it everyone is already manifesting in their day-to-day lives. ·         Protecting us is the primary function of our brains. It is primed to notice the threats, and the negative, and make that our focus. ·         The brain can only process so much information, so its salience filter skims over the positive things and focuses on what could do us harm. ·         When we allow our brain bias to filter out the positive things we enter a cycle of pessimism and cynicism. ·         Setting goals is a highly effective way to train your brain to notice opportunities and notice more positive things. ·         You need to be clear about what you want. If you are not your brain does not know what to pay attention to and how to change. ·         If you want to build a new future, build it on solid foundations, and work on yourself. ·         The more self-aware you are the easier it is to find your passion and set the right goals. ·         Self-acceptance and self-worth play an important role in manifestation. ·         When you stick to the small goals you stick to the big ones. ·         Interrogate your self-beliefs. Most of the limiting ones are not based on reality. ·         Being kind to yourself and others is incredibly empowering. BEST MOMENTS “Manifesting is fundamentally about change. It's about changing your thinking, your behaviour, your reality and your brain.” “Manifesting is gaining clarity around your goals, by visualizing them, and then by developing the discipline to take action, to remain focused on and attain those goals.” “ Opportunities can be straight in front of your face, and you don't see them because you're focusing on something else. You're focusing on the negative.” “Amazing things happen in your brain when you are in flow that allows you to be creative, allow you to freely be yourself without negativity.”  EPISODE RESOURCES  Sabina´s books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Dr-Sabina-Brennan/author/B07D5TX965 http://www.sabinabrennan.ie https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sabina-brennan-83139118 Selective Attention Test (Gorilla) - https://theinvisiblegorilla.com  VALUABLE RESOURCES website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/ HOST BIO  Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms.

Warren Buffett is warning us of potentially the largest financial crash we've ever experienced. He's offloading tens of millions in stock, and in this episode, Rob explains what this means for you, and the market and reveals some shocking truths. Rob also shares the best assets to invest in to shield yourself against a crash and maximise your potential earnings. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even the largest banks are trading insolvently, putting all our savings at risk of vanishing overnight. Only 10% of deposits are kept in reserve, making them vulnerable to bank runs. Warren Buffett's sale of $7 billion in Bank of America stock signals potential trouble in the banking sector. Rob advises keeping minimum amounts in bank accounts and spreading money across multiple banks to mitigate risk. Real estate remains a strong investment due to high demand and relatively low interest rates in the UK. Rob predicts a significant market crash, potentially the biggest in our lifetime, with mid-2025 as a possible timeframe. There are risks associated with exit taxes and unrealised gains taxes, they could stifle investment and economic growth. Diversification across physical and non-physical assets is essential to protect wealth during economic downturns.   BEST MOMENTS  "If Warren Buffett is selling 7 billion of Bank of America, if you've got any shares in banks, sell them." "Mark my words. If you leave money in savings accounts or current accounts, in mainstream banks or even challenger banks, that's a fucking risk."  "More millionaires are made in recessions than any other time in the cycle. Observe the masses, do the opposite." "Your spending power is the lowest it's been since the second world war. It's the lowest it's been in a hundred years." "Basically, this is all socialism and communism. This is where it comes from. Communism. State owns everything. Socialism. We take off the rich. We give to the poor. Capitalism, we're all equal, and we distribute and tax based on merit."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

For this episode, Toni & Lesley are joined by Stephanie Shaw a menopause educator, health & wellness speaker and host of the Hello Hot Flash podcast. She helps women navigate menopause and reduce the impact the symptoms have on their lives.  She, Toni and Lesley share some simple yet powerful tips to help you tap into the power of keeping a health journal, moving regularly, eating right and taking care of your mental and emotional health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even now, most women do not know much about menopause. Yet, with the right advice most of the symptoms can be reduced and sometimes eliminated. Educating our girls and boys about menopause is important. Working out like crazy creates another stressor for your already over-stressed body to deal with. Everybody´s menopause is different. There are 100+ different symptoms. Keep a health journal to help you identify patterns and triggers. Looking after your mental and emotional health is crucial. It takes a lot of stress off your body. Hot flashes can be triggered when we get emotional. Fix your gut. Avoid processed foods. To avoid temptation, don´t walk every supermarket aisle. Go straight to the fresh food.  Always have some pre-prepared healthy food in the fridge. Preparation is key.  Use plus 1, minus 1. Choose one bad thing and stop doing that. At the same time, choose  one thing that is good for you and start doing that. Going through menopause is not easy, but many women find that they emerge from it with healthier habits and feeling far more in tune with who they are. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you are eating about 90% right you´ll be good. ' ‘We call it the fundies, the fundamentals – eat, move, sleep. ' ‘Taking care of yourself mind body and soul is super important.

Rob joins Kev in this episode to talk about his property journey. He talks about how he balances his day job with his property investing and why anyone can work out this balance in their own lives. Rob and Kev also talk about the importance of thinking creatively in property investing and why there are always opportunities out there for investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Even though he has a day job, Rob is always thinking about his next move in property. He believes that anyone can find the time to do property investing is they are focused enough. He started with buy-to-lets and then started to look at more creative ways to invest. An accountant and a tax adviser are different things. If you want to save money on tax, then an adviser is who you want to be hiring. Rob used to not talk about his property investing but after altering his mindset is happy to boast about being a property investor and the success he is having as a landlord. BEST MOMENTS   "I've been interested in property since I was at school and at the end of the day if you focus on it you can find the time” “If you can be open-minded about things and think creatively to do these deals then I think there is a lot more opportunity out there” “One of my mindset changes is now I'm proud to boast I'm a property investor” "All three of us became millionaires through investing in property" VALUABLE RESOURCES Ashley & Lewis Property - https://www.ashleylewisproperty.com/  Rob Walters Facebook - https://progressivegroupweb.slack.com/archives/D038X69QB8S/p1724225985152269 MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

In this episode, Lisa and Matthew discuss:Common misconceptions regarding the cost and accessibility of private colleges. Advantages of private colleges many do not know about. How to understand and evaluate a college's mission and values. Recognizing financial aid opportunities and understanding the true costs and benefits of private colleges. Key Takeaways: Even if a school is faith-based, that does not mean every student is part of that religion. Students grow, and the best conversations are had when hard questions are asked. Look at the About Page of colleges and universities. What they say and don't say will tell you a lot about that institution's priorities, values, and mission. Your student should get their feet on campus before they enroll. While virtual resources are great, visiting should be a priority before enrolling. Very few families will pay the full price of tuition at private schools. Many of the smaller, private institutions operate like a village where there are activities throughout the day that lead to deeper relationships and community involvement that may not be available at larger universities. “Private institutions typically will be more focused on mission and have a values orientation to the work that they do that ties in the curriculum, but also the structures of the institution. It's important for students and families to explore what an institution is about.” – Dr. Matthew WardAbout Dr. Matthew Ward: Matthew Ward, Ph.D., Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success is responsible for strategic enrollment management and student success at California Lutheran University.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Mark Silverman discuss:Building client relationships from the start of your career.Bringing your full, authentic self to your client relationships. Being forward with those you've served when asking for referrals. The art of bringing in new work from current clients.  Key Takeaways:Even when you're crazy busy, it is key to reach out to a client or post on LinkedIn or send a text to connect with those in your network. Everybody wins in referrals when there is a transferral of trust. Be honest about where you can add value and where, perhaps, you aren't the best fit for your clients.Find what works for you and stay consistent with it. You are running a business and want to maintain that forward momentum.  "The worst thing you can do, and what will tank your relationship and career quickly, is to sell something that you have no business doing." —  Mark Silverman Read more from Steve at Above the Law: AboveTheLaw.com/tag/Steve-Fretzin/ Thank you to our Sponsors!Ready to go from good to GOAT?

A commencement speech by Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, had an insane statistic from his career... one that Jordan and Levi apply to their trading. Learn how Federer's win rate can change how you view success. Key Takeaways: Even the best traders/players lose all the time. Become VERY comfortable with that. Even a SLIGHT edge can be turned into massive wins. This applies in tennis and in trading. WHEN you win matters. The difference between the greats and the rest of the pack, is that the great players/traders win when the pressure is highest. The pressure doesn't make them lose or do anything stupid. Conclusion: Change your mindset from trying to get a ton of wins, to understanding that even the best lose a LOT. You only need a VERY slight edge to be wildly profitable. Win when it matters, and develop the cold, killer instinct that will enable you to thrive under pressure.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Robert Plotkin discuss:Giving information away. Writing a lead-generating book while maintaining your law practice.Benefits of writing a book above other kinds of content marketing. What to do before publication, during promotion, and after publication.  Key Takeaways:Even if you gave someone your entire process, nobody will be able to execute like you do because you have value to bring to the situation. Break your book down into small, manageable bites. Also, consider sharing some of the information as you go and get feedback as you go so it feels less monumental of a task. Having a good outline in place is crucial - it gives you opportunities to break your script into smaller tasks that can be tackled in your 15 or 20 free minutes. Have multiple ways of distributing your content - audio, digital, and print. People consume content in different ways, but you can also repackage that content in your content marketing.  "The thing about a book is it sends this separate meta message about your clout, your credibility as an expert. I think most lawyers who are writing a book are trying to use it to establish or cement themselves as an expert, a thought leader, someone who knows how to get certain things done for their clients in the law and a book sends that meta message at just order of magnitude higher level. There's another meta message: by someone seeing that you wrote a book, they know you're someone who took the time and has the discipline to write a book. Even if they never read it, that sends a message to them." —  Robert PlotkinFind out more about the 10 Easy-to-Execute Hacks to Unlock Your Full Potential at: https://fretzin.com/events Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz About Robert Plotkin: Robert Plotkin is a patent attorney who has specialized in obtaining software patents for his clients to maximize company value for over 25 years.

Scripture: Romans 10:13-11:11 Key Takeaways:   Even when it looks like unbelief is winning the day, God is at work saving a people for himself.      1 Peter 3:18   “At the turn of the 20th century, Africa was home to less than 10 million Christians, fewer than any other region except Oceania. By 2000, the Christian population in Africa had exploded to more than 383 million. In 2020, more Christians lived in Africa than any other region of the world. By 2050, with a Christian population of more than 1.28 billion, more Christians will call Africa home than the next two most populous regions—Asia and Latin America—combined.” - Aaron Earls, Lifeway Research.      God has a purpose in every tragedy, even the tragedy of unbelief.   Romans 1:16 Acts 13:46 Acts 18:6 Acts 28:24–28 Matthew 21:42–43 Acts 2:22–24 Romans 8:28 2 Corinthians 1:8–11   The Gospel has the power to give you an enviable life.     1 Peter 3:15

Today I am joined by divorce specialist Janet Price. After being a child of divorce and then going through a divorce of her own, Janet has some excellent tips on navigating a co-parenting relationship. During today's episode, she talks about her experience through her divorce, her difficulties, and the healing that took place, which left her with a huge a-ha moment. Janet provides some excellent advice about what she would have done differently if she faced a divorce with children again. Tune in today to learn how co-parenting is a learned skill and how to support your children so they can become successful adults. In this episode: [1:38] What led Janet to do this work? [6:12] What does Janet wish she would have known during her divorce? [11:35] How to create a co-parenting relationship when the marriage felt like you were a single parent. [13:40] What do you do if you have entirely different values/styles of parenting? [18:15] Janet's tips on what she would do differently. Key Takeaways: Even if parents can't have a civil co-parenting relationship, focusing on the children and their needs should be the highest priority. Your children will be ok as long as they have at least one strong, emotionally healthy, solid value parent to help guide them in their life. Quotes: “I had all the power in the world to not have that conflict, and in fact, it was what I was doing because of my history that was as I was trying to reduce it was the exact thing that was triggering my co-parent. And so that's when I decided I have this awakening, and I would like to help other parents see it so that the children do not have to experience the trauma of divorce.” - Janet Price “Co-parenting as the literal word can be a very broad spectrum, and that's ok because sometimes the parents will be better off if you don't try forcing it.” - Janet Price “It's ok to share your values with your children and help raise them in your values in your household, and you don't have to say anything about the other parent.” - Janet Price Guest Bio: Janet Price is a certified divorce specialist, certified co-parenting specialist, and conscious co-parenting coach who empowers loving parents to rise out of the middle and move from surviving to thriving. Janet is passionate about supporting parents' transition from intimate partners to their business partner relationship for the kids. Janet knows the dynamics of divorcing and co-parenting as a child product of high-conflict divorce and a mother involved in high-conflict parenting. Janet's coaching programs and one on one practice provide parents with tools, skills, strategies, and support to co-parent effectively and transition to their business partner relationship.

In this week's episode of ReInvent Healthcare, we begin a new theme on Thyroid. We as practitioners need to be able to help our clients know what affects their thyroid, know what symptoms to watch out for, and know important factors to consider in order to fully optimize their health by prescribing proper interventions - medication where appropriate, diet, and lifestyle. Thyroid hormone imbalance is one of the most mis-assessed and mis-treated conditions in medicine today, and as functional practitioners we have the tools to help people.    IN THIS EPISODE: [02:30] What is the true underlying cause of thyroid dysfunction? [04:00] Important factors to consider that are overlooked by conventional medicine [06:40] Cell danger responses [11:50] Problems with the allopathic model [15:20] What to recommend to clients with thyroid imbalance   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Even if the thyroid gland is working perfectly, our clients can still show thyroid symptoms because cells aren't getting the proper hormones. Just because Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels are normal, doesn't mean there aren't any underlying issues. Various factors can affect TSH. Tap water is loaded with chlorine, fluoride, medication residues and chemicals that can damage the thyroid and its receptors.    RESOURCES: https://reinventhealthcare.com/thyroid/ Get the Magic Questions www.INEMethod.com www.Thyroidreviveandthrive.com www.drritamarie.com/thyrodiadrenal

“When life takes you down, it changes you. You're not the same after,” says Dr. Susan Biali in her new book, The Resilient Life. “When I look back on my career, my most cherished accomplishments all came with significant stress.” And yet, sometimes, that work-related stress can tip into burnout if we're not careful—something particularly prominent these last few years. Susan is one of my longest-time friendtors (fifteen years and counting!), and in this long-overdue Pivot conversation, we talk about what personality traits make someone most prone to burnout, social overwhelm the power of small doses of relaxation response activities, and more. More About Susan: Dr. Susan Biali Haas is an award-winning medical doctor, internationally recognized for her expertise in mental health, stress management, burnout prevention, and resilience. Today we're talking about her new book, The Resilient Life: Manage stress, prevent burnout, improve your physical and mental health, and live with more resilience. **** In addition to her twenty years of primary care experience, she also coaches a broad range of clients — from senior executives to physicians and other health professionals — to take control of their mental and physical well-being. Dr. Susan's popular Psychology Today blog has over 10 million views, and she has been featured in media such as the Today Show, Forbes, BBC World Service, Oprah.com, and others.

The question is, how can we become the successful entrepreneurs we've always wanted to be in a world where negativity is rife? Taking years to finally understand what Burke Hedges was trying to say in his book, Parable of the Pipeline, changed my life forever. After going broke to becoming a millionaire in the same way Pablo did, I am now starting to reap the rewards of my efforts. This is the story I would like to share with you today, hoping to inspire you also while reminding you that it happens in time.    “All you really need is more time; that's all. Just keep doing what you're doing, and eventually, you'll see it start to happen for you.”  – Keith Kalfas     Why do you have to listen to today's episode. 00:00 – “Robert Kiyosaki was right. In his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, he told the story of a famous book by Burke Hedges called the Parable of the Pipeline.” I'm having an epiphany about success. Today, we'll talk about the Parable of the Pipeline.   00:47 – “Life-changing book… I read the whole book in one evening. I couldn't stop reading it.” Here's a quick summary of the Parable of the Pipeline's story. Discover Pablo's genius in building and investing in a pipeline – his way to get rich.   05:02 – “Even if it's just a little bit after work and on the weekends, instead of doing whatever else you do, become an implementer and get around other people who are building pipelines.” Talking about pipeline building vs. bucket carrying and what Pablo's life would be like if he's existing in real life   07:49 – “If you had the time and money to put into it so you could snowball it faster, the way to do it is by putting more time and more money into these models…” What if you got some really powerful information that could financially change your life, but you're coming into high season, and you're getting all that overtime?   10:11 – “It's a long, hard road, this wedge in here, to get that thing going because you have to do this here, you have to do this for now.” Those who have been in the game for so long can already generate success in a snap, but if you're just starting out, you'll have to travel a very long path.   11:02 – “I'll be on the phone with him, venting about my frustrations about it not happening fast enough, not becoming successful fast enough, and here's what I always hear every time…” As a friend of mine says, the truth is we just need more time. Eventually, you'll see it happen for you.     Key Takeaways  “Even if it's just a little bit after work and on the weekends, instead of doing whatever else you do, become an implementer and get around other people who are building pipelines.”   “And you really don't have a choice because you can't bet on that, you can't bet on all these residual income streams, making you money right away (1) because you've never actually seen it hit your bank account in real life, and (2) you don't know just because it worked for them if it's going to work for you, and even if it's going to, it's probably not going to happen fast enough before you end up going underwater and going bankrupt, or you don't even have the money to fund all this yet.”   “It's a long, hard road, this wedge in here, to get that thing going because you have to do this here, you have to do this for now.”     Connect with Keith   Facebook Instagram  YouTube LinkedIn Website     Resources/People Mentioned: My Website: Official Site Keith Kalfas My Podcast Page: The UNTRAPPED Podcast Robert Kiyosaki's book: Rich Dad Poor Dad Burke Hedges' book: Parable of the Pipeline Thomas J.

You know those moments where someone says or does something, and you immediately feel yourself taken out of a state of ease, flow and grace? Maybe someone cuts you off in traffic or a family member makes a comment that reminds you of past trauma. We call these triggers, and we all experience them. In this episode, we discuss how to know when you're triggered and the best ways to respond when it happens.   Key Takeaways:Even the most enlightened beings get triggered sometimes.  It's nothing to feel bad about and there's nothing wrong with you, it's just part of the human experience!  The trick is in how you respond. When we're unconsciously triggered, we react rather than respond and can create more problems. It's not about not being triggered by anything, but knowing when you're triggered, bringing awareness to it and not reacting from that space. Recognizing when someone else is triggered and having compassion for them doesn't excuse bad behavior, but understanding that we're all human and that they're acting from their trigger helps you take a step back and look at the situation from a higher place of love, joy and alignment. You can become more aware of your triggers by simply setting an intention. Ask your guides to assist in showing you when you're in the light and when you're off, and to help become aware and bring yourself back to center. Watch as your awareness grows!All triggers are a blessing that show us something that needs more love and compassion within us. Triggers help us heal once we consciously become aware and process them!Did you know I offer intuitive readings and coaching sessions to clients all over the world?   You can book your session here:  https://app.paperbell.com/checkout/packages?provider_id=13555Connect and learn with me here:https://victoriashawintuitive.com/www.instagram.com/victoriashawintuitiveIf you would like to connect with other like-minded souls, take a deeper dive into the topics discussed in these episodes, or learn more about how to awaken to your own inner magnificence, please join us in my Facebook group, Intuitive Connection Community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/IntuitiveconnectioncommunityAre you ready to take the next steps in awakening your intuition?  Please enjoy and download a copy of my Free Activate Your Intuition Ebook: https://victoriashawintuitive.com/free-e-book/If you would like to take a deeper dive into leveraging the power of your intuition, please check out my self-paced, online course, Activating Your Intuition at:https://victoriashawintuitive.com/courses/activating-your-intuition/On Clubhouse: @victoriashaw

In this episode, Jeff and Bob discuss: Allowing faith to guide your steps. How Poland is helping the Ukrainian refugees. The crossover between business and building the kingdom. Be generous now for a fantastic life.   Key Takeaways: Even if you don't speak the same language, there are connections between humans when treated with love and respect. Even small acts of kindness, such as a Kinder Egg, bring hope beyond measure. Let faith guide your steps and get real with God. Don't be efficient in the way you love people - be available.   "I would encourage people to just, instead of putting a toe in the water, use all your business acumen but don't over analyze this thing. Because at the end of the day, it ain't a business deal, this is generosity. I don't want you to blow a bunch of sunshine, I want you to make a big difference." —  Bob Goff Connect with Bob Goff: Website: https://www.bobgoff.com/Book: https://www.bobgoff.com/booksShow: https://www.bobgoff.com/listenTwitter: https://twitter.com/bobgoffInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobgoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bobgoffis    Connect with Jeff Thomas: Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-upEmail: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdv Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Amy Mariani discuss:Transitioning to mediation from another role. Getting efficient with networking. Providing value in networking and in connecting. Calendering in your business development tasks, not just your law related tasks.  Key Takeaways:Even if you have a large network, it takes time to grow and cultivate the relationships needed to grow your book of business. Be direct in asking for introductions. It may work, it may not, but there's nothing to lose. Qualify your networking partners. Follow through is important for both you and the person you are trying to refer or introduce. Develop your business acumen. If you learn how to build your business (and treat your firm as if it is a business), you will be more successful and be in a better position to grow your own firm.   "You do need to get that networking going, that is going to be the most critical element of your success.

What exactly is Conscious Capitalism? It's a way of looking at business responsibly, ethically, and mindfully. It's a global movement that redefines how we look at business and asks us to look at not just shareholder value, but STAKEHOLDER value. Here's a bit from the Conscious Capitalism Credo:We believe that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence and it is heroic because it lifts people out of poverty and creates prosperity.Today, I talk with Frank Smith. Frank is the founder of Mosaic Personnel, a recruiting firm in Oklahoma City but he's also a leadership trainer and the leader of Conscious Capitalism's Oklahoma City chapter. Frank shares the definition of Conscious Capitalism and its four core tenets - and you won't be surprised to learn how empathy fits in nicely when it comes to leadership and culture. We discuss the relationship between recruiting and culture development, and some ways that companies big and small are creating intentional business cultures rooted in conscious capitalism.  Key Takeaways:Even if someone has the same credentials, they may not fit at different companies. Conscious Capitalism is about elevating life through work, both internally and externally within an organization. Younger generations want to feel like they are making an impact in the world. Conscious Capitalism resonates with them as it gives them an environment where they can feel seen and heard and know they are making a difference. Curiosity is an underrated skill. It is the number one trait of empathetic people. "If, as leaders, we do this the right way, we actually are a force for good in the world, and not somebody that's creating more and more of the problems in the world." —  Frank Smith About Frank Smith:Founder, Mosaic Personnel and Chapter Leader, Conscious CapitalismFrank has been a business owner for 30 years in various industries. He is the founder of Mosaic Personnel and the leader of the Oklahoma City chapter of Conscious Capitalism. During this time his real passion was creating a workplace people want to come to work at. Whether Manufacturing, Retail, Distribution or Professional Services the same rules apply to accomplish that. Frank spends his time as a trainer and executive coach to help people create Intentional Culture in the workplace. Frank has been married for 33 years and when he isn't working, he enjoys traveling, golf and car racing. Connect with Frank Smith:  Mosaic Personnel: https://mosaicpersonnel.com/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/frank-smith-5b74795Driving Happiness at Work: https://drivinghappinessatwork.com/ Other References Mentioned:Conscious Capitalism - Global Organization: https://www.consciouscapitalism.org/Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business by John MackeyFirms of Endearment by Raj SisodiaThe Motive: Why So Many Leaders Abdicate Their Most Important Responsibilities By Patrick Lencioni  Don't forget to download your free guide!

Mask Mouth- What is it? It became a common phrase used referring to the rise of dental problems due to consistent mask wearing. It is an unofficial diagnosis and has created controversy and habit change. Have you noticed any effects on wearing masks consistently? Wearing masks causes you to breathe through your mouth which could affect your body a lot. As a result, we are drinking less throughout the day and are pinching the mask around our nose which causes open mouth breathing. What is the effect of mouth breathing? In this episode, we will be talking more about the effect of wearing masks and mouth breathing. Key Takeaways: -Even though we can breathe through our mouths... we should Not.-Breathing through your nose keeps air into your lungs longer than breathing through your mouth.-Cold air going into the lungs from mouth breathing can cause your lungs to close.-Mouth breathing can be a habit, or it can be a sign there is a bigger problem. 

This episode, I will be touching the basics of what you need to know when it comes to baby teeth bottles, binkies and breastfeeding.  Even though baby teeth are temporary, they're still important as they are susceptible to cavities and other dental issues. They also influence how the adult teeth will form, how your babies and your child's mouth and jaw will form as well, depending on how you use bottles and biggies and if you decide to nurse.Your baby's oral health is directly related to yours, that's why making sure that you have regular dental checkups to check your mouth and the bacteria is an important step to avoid oral health related issues. In this podcast, we will be talking about very important things related to teething, bottle feeding and binkies.Key Takeaways:-Even before your newborn has teeth, it's important to take care of their mouth and establish good habits and routines.-Teething can be painful for some kids.-Biological factors affect how a baby latches when breastfeeding.-Factors to consider when choosing to bottle feed. Teething Tips:-Keep your child hydrated-Use a plant based product like Thera gel. An all natural,  non toxic, FDA approved, and drug free product to soothe teething issues-Be careful with how much benzocaine you give your kid-Never leave your child with the teething objects-You can use the little finger gum massage to massage their gums-Babies love throwing things in the ground. So just be careful when you give them that stuff where they are and where they're throwing it in the ground. 

The goals we have for our life, health, body, etc, will only mean something to you. The amount of work needed, is up to you. The amount of effort to put in, is all up to you. Giving 100% of your attention & energy, will create success, but what does 100% look like?

Sometimes life seems to come at you all at once, but as Shaa shared in this week's episode, we can learn from the good and the bad. are no such things as failure. What  doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even when times get tough, there are always moments of joy, beauty and opportunities for gratitude. We need to find those diamonds and keep focused on them, not just the challenging times. We should never make assumptions about other people. Lives lived behind closed doors might not be as rosy as you believe. Surrounding ourselves with strong, positive people empowers us when times get tough. When people fall, the quickest way to get up is by taking the hand of another.  BEST MOMENTS ‘Press pause, take a step back and truly show up for them' ‘There are moments. There are people. Who are diamonds, who make everything worthwhile'. 'Sending love, patience, resilience and determination - we've got this' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

This week we're discussing how mirrors may be ruining our lives. Topics Discussed In This Episode:A story about the time Leanne went to an acrobat show and what she noticed.Why we need to change the way we look at fitness.How judging our bodies makes us feel and what the data says.How the messaging we receive from society influences our view of self.The way we use social media to present a false image and why it's harmful.What we should emphasize over aesthetics.Reasons why what we can do with our bodies is much more important than how we look.The tweet that got Leanne thinking about why fitness is more important than weight.Examples of what functional fitness looks like.The different types of strengths we have that we can focus on.Why you should get outside to get your movement in whenever you can.What about our bodies is in our control and what isn't.Key Takeaways:Even professional acrobats with similar strength abilities have diverse bodies.We put far too much focus on the aesthetics of fitness and not enough on functional abilities.The average British woman spends 17 years of her life on a diet.Children as young as three express concerns about their bodies.Keep in mind that almost all magazine photos have been photoshopped. If we focus on children's fitness, the issue of being overweight becomes irrelevant.Functional fitness is about being able to meet the daily tasks and obstacles of life.The emphasis should be placed on our strengths - physically, mentally, and emotionally.Movement helps release dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins.Striving for a particular body shape won't lead to happiness because it's not an aspect we can fully control. Action Steps:Here's how to focus less on your reflection and more on what actually matters:1. Remember it's about fitness, not weight. Focus on fitness in all aspects and strive to see what you can achieve. That is the goal. 2. Don't chase body perfection because it doesn't exist. But, you can reach for a high-performing body that can transport you through life in a healthy, fit way. Leanne said:“Publishing things when we feel good is one thing, but publishing an image because we have polished it into an appearance of ‘perfection', well that's another thing altogether.” “Focusing on what we can achieve with our bodies and not how they look is the main message here. Focusing on strength. Physical strength, mental strength, emotional strength. Focusing on that aspect of our overall fitness.”Links To Things Mentioned In The Podcast: Photoshopped celebrities: https://www.boredpanda.com/photoshopped-celebrities-before-after/ Leanne's TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SLP1BF7KBQ Take our Wellbeing at Work Scorecard and see how your organisations wellbeing strategy scores against 4 key areas of wellbeing.

In this episode, Caitlin Barnes (Codebreak's Operations Manager) joins Joel to chat about the common mishaps they see in marketing and the opportunities they see on the horizon.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Even huge firms make marketing mistakes. Including the common ones. Most companies are not persistent enough and do not maintain momentum. Social media advertising costs have soared, so it is now even more important to get it right. Even though the costs have soared, social media still generates huge opportunities…provided you avoid the common mistakes. Social media has become an exact science and is constantly evolving. In a rapidly changing environment, it's hard to keep up, which is why employing an expert makes sense. Marketing campaigns have to be monitored and constantly tweaked. Most firms don´t do this. Firms need to move with the times. In the episode, Joel talks about how voice, AI and crossovers with the virtual world will change marketing. Look for opportunities to connect with people.   BEST MOMENTS ‘You are so much more powerful after 6 months of marketing than you are after a launch campaign. ´ ‘I really like 90-day sprints.' ‘People are already being marketed to within virtual worlds.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Stay Hungry podcast series Stay Hungry Bestselling Book   If you're fed up with wasting your time and money on marketing that doesn't generate enquiries and sales - hop on a Codebreak discovery call.    After all, getting lots of 'likes' on your Facebook page ain't gonna make your boat go faster.

In this episode, Nikou speaks to Barbara Majeski who is an internationally recognised lifestyle coach and TV personality. She shares her story. How she Fell Forward and found, balance, happiness, and success in all areas of her life. They talk extensively about entrepreneurship, and also discuss cancer, losing a child in pregnancy, and how she coped with the end of her marriage. Barbara talks about how our thoughts and the words we use control who we become. She explains the benefits of recognising this and self-correcting. As well as sharing ways to learn and gain something positive from every experience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even when you get something wrong, you are learning. Skills you can use for life. See negatives as opportunities. Often you learn big lessons while turning around bad situations. There is nothing you can´t ask, which means you can learn anything. What is right for others may not be right for you. Don´t be afraid to do things differently. If you want to take a career break to raise your kids, take a sabbatical or to study, do it. When you take pauses in your life, you make space for new opportunities. Remember what you say about others reflects more on you than it does on them. Don´t just judge people. Instead, evaluate with compassion. The polarity we live with today in society is toxic. We can´t call people names because they do not agree with us. When we can self-correct and redirect, we make this world a better place and we can be part of the change. Don´t let other people´s opinions be what decides what you do in your life. A relationship doesn´t have to be permanent to be successful. When your partner leaves you, it is up to you to decide whether you become distrustful or fall in love again. Every day, make micro-movements that benefit you e.g., decide to drink something healthy rather than unhealthy more often. When you have negative thoughts, recalibrate quickly. What you think greatly impacts how you act. BEST MOMENTS ‘Maintain a positive attitude. ´ ‘Actions speak louder than words.’ ‘I will no longer let the weight of other people´s opinions affect the decisions that I make.’ ‘Your thoughts and your words dictate your actions.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Barbara Majeski is a nationally recognized TV personality and lifestyle expert with regular features on the TODAY Show, Inside Edition, Good Day New York, etc. Renowned as the “Curator of the Good Life”, Barbara explores and shares ways to live life with purpose, style, and adventure.

Welcome to the Tony Talks Wealth Podcast! Tony interviews real people about their money journey, their challenges, and how they overcame them. You will learn personal finance and practical money management tips to help you get your finances in order as well as your money mind set. He also discusses how to invest and plan for an early retirement and financial freedom in simple, easy to understand language. It’s time to plan your finances and create your own ‘GAME Plan’. ‘If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail’ – Benjamin Franklin In this episode, Tony tells you all about the mission behind the podcast, why now might be a better time than ever before to think about your place in the financial world, and how to recognise and examine the key areas in your financial life that need work. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even with a solid financial plan in place, we must revisit often in order to reflect any changes in the world around us. Consolidate your debt by examining in detail, your outgoings and levels of interest. Once you have your monthly outgoing figure, work out if a debt consolidation loan may be a cheaper way to pay things off early. Effective budgeting allows you to track progress and identify spending errors before they become disastrous. This practice will make you far more mindful of your spending choices each day. Focus on your goals. Failing to plan is planning to fail! Goals are not finite. We need to set goals, and then re-examine them as we move through life. Do they need altering now that our position is different? Set short, medium and long-term goals and revisit often. BEST MOMENTS ‘A tighter grip on finances is key’ ‘Your budget will make sure that you are telling your money what to do, and not the other way around’ ‘You’re no longer just along for the ride on a financial rollercoaster’ ‘Failing to plan is planning to fail' ABOUT THE HOST Tony Thomas is a published author, one of the top financial advisers in the UK voted for by his clients, the first Chartered Financial Planner in the UK, Independent Financial Adviser, Mentor, Trainer.

Key Takeaways Even when dealing with a chronic illness, focusing on what you still can do, rather than what you can’t, is essential. It is the bedrock of positivity that opens up all your possibilities. In fact, when you realize what you’re still capable of, despite the pain, you’ll realize that you are stronger than ever.     It sounds hard to believe, but chronic pain and illness can actually become your superpower. With a certain mindset, it can lead to more enjoyment and resilience in life than you might otherwise have. Today’s guest learned this lesson herself and is on a mission to share it with others.   About Allyn Amerongen Allyn Amerongen is an Oregon native whose history of chronic pain and illness has shaped her beliefs, actions, and most importantly, her mindset. As an active member in the personal development community, Allyn utilizes her unique toolkit to work with clients and help them achieve the life they envision for themselves.   Having the Attitude to Overcome Pain Aside from the illness itself, dealing with its emotional toll is demanding. Having done it herself, Allyn helps others focus on joy when all else seems bleak. When you prioritize thinking about what you can do, instead of what you can’t, you’ll realize the true heights of your capabilities.   Fear and Faith in a Journey of Healing Even if you’re not dealing with a chronic illness, Allyn has lessons that apply to everyone. She understands fear. She also understands how it limits potential like nothing else. Being afraid to look bad, or to fail, or to disappoint, prevents many from even starting. Allyn has come to know that just trying can be counted as a success. The fact of the matter is that you are not defined by your illness. Taking the time to do what you need spiritually and emotionally will reinforce that idea. It’s a reminder that you can still live on your own terms.

Please Note: This episode deals with themes of suicide. The recent world events have led to a dramatic rise in mental health issues. Across all professions, and all classes, people are wondering how we’re going to make our way back to normality after such a disruption to our lives. Brad’s special guest this week is Paul, a man with a message of hope, and who knows what it’s like to come back from the darkest of places. Paul talks to Brad about the ways in which he has turned his life around, and the reasons we should all hold on to when hope seems lost. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even those who may appear to be fine on the surface, can be hiding heartache and pain. It’s vitally important that we vocalise our issues to those around us. Honesty is the most important step in beating suicidal impulses. Seeking help, and being completely transparent at all times will allow those who can help to reach you effectively. Alcohol is never the answer to depression. It can accelerate the effects of depression, and strip away the inhibitions that may be preventing us from self-harming. The coronavirus has caused us all to re-evaluate the important things in our lives. Money, wealth and assets are suddenly becoming less important than more intangible positives, such as love and connection. Conversations around suicide are stimulating others to vocalise their own challenges. Those who have lived through it seem to be the most supportive, but official channels need to do much more. BEST MOMENTS ‘No matter where you end up, you will always find a way back’ ‘Alcohol causes depression. Depression causes alcoholism. It’s a vicious circle’ ‘Everything happens for you, not to you’ ’Reframing a situation can make it seem very positive or devastatingly negative' ABOUT THE HOST Brad believes that everyone at any level should be focused on achieving multiple sources of income to create diversity and balance in life. He feels passionate about helping dentists work towards freedom by building wealth in different areas and helping to develop a mindset to improve one’s ability to handle the stresses of clinical life. Still a practising dentist, Brad has implemented strategies to create a practice to allow him to carry out the dentistry he wants whilst continually expanding with loyal staff and patients. These strategies can be adapted to any dentist, whether you are an associate or the practice owner, to help bring back your passion for dentistry. In addition to running a successful private dental practice, he has grown several other dental businesses and as an investor is growing wealth outside of dentistry to help protect his legacy for his growing family. He is chair of the Horsforth Town Team, dedicated to the promotion and development of business in his local area in North Leeds, UK. Due to his track record and down to earth advice, he has become sought after as a mentor and spends part of his time dedicated to mentoring dental professionals about business, mindset and personal development.

We're hitting pause on the usual interviews to bring some good news and positivity right from the Matta household during this crazy quarantine time. I brought the whole crew on Ashley, Jack, and Maggie to talk about what we've actually enjoyed about this forced slowdown. We get into the challenges (homeschooling, anyone?), but focus on the unexpected good stuff: tons more family time outside, bike rides, wrestling on the trampoline, and Ashley sharing the surprising relief of a less frantic schedule. It's a candid look at finding the silver linings and focusing on connection when the world feels upside down. Plus, Jack gives a shoutout to his previous episode appearance! This one's family friendly, so grab your kids and have a listen.

The Right Talent – Recruiting, Training, and Retaining with Ryan Schreiber Ryan Schreiber and Joe Lynch discuss what it takes to recruit the right talent in the transportation and logistics industry. While Ryan is very much a techie, he believes that people are the ultimate competitive advantage. In the interview, Ryan shares his perspective on recruiting, training and retaining the right talent. About Ryan Schreiber Ryan is the Director of Engagement at CarrierDirect in Chicago. Ryan was born and raised in Tampa Florida. Ryan earned a degree in History from the University of South Florida and then a Law degree from Michigan State University.  Prior to joining CarrierDirect, Ryan worked at a variety of logistics companies and even started and exited a few tech-enabled freight brokerage start-ups. Ryan is a skilled technologist and strategist who has helped transform many leading transportation and logistics companies. In Ryan's experience great technology is important but finding and keeping the right people is the key to success in the 3PL business. About CarrierDirect Since 2011 carriers, 3PLs, shippers, and logistics technology vendors have looked to CarrierDirect to deliver the efficiency, strategy, go-to-market plans, and technology that will elevate their business above their competition. CarrierDirect builds organizations and relationships, providing strategy and technology designed to maximize efficiency, reduce cost and make your business stand out. CarrierDirect advises clients on the elements of their business most vital to success: strategy, organizational structure, compensation, technology, training, recruiting, workflows, processes, and more. CarrierDirect clients include Werner, J.B. Hunt, Covenant, CRST, and FedEx. The Right Talent The right talent is the talent that will succeed in your organization, not just look good on a resume. To recruit the right talent, recruiters must understand the organization, industry, job responsibilities, and company culture. Turnover is very high in the transportation and logistics industry, which indicates that the people that get recruited to the company are not the people who ultimately succeed at the company. High turnover is demoralizing, upsetting to customers, costly, and negatively impacts company culture. Recruiting the Right Talent Many companies in the logistics and transportation business are “winging it” when it comes to recruiting and it shows. This is particularly true with start-ups where the founders and early hires do most of the work. The informal recruiting process works well when the company is new, and the founders hire their contacts and friends, but the informal process breaks down as the company grows. Just as the company is scaling, they realize that their recruiting process isn't working anymore. Ryan compares the recruiting process to the sales process and believes the right candidate can be hired by following a sales process: Lean generation: Target and attract the right talent. Make sure your recruiters really have their finger on the pulse of the organization and the industry. They should also do their homework so they know exactly the type of person they would like to interview and eventually hire. Qualifying: Standardize the interviewing process and develop interview guidelines so there is consistency. In order to develop the guidelines, you must understand what type of people succeed in the organization. Closing: Recruitment is the precursor to the experience a candidate will have with your organization. Provide the candidate the best experience possible so that when you find the right talent, you get them. Design a recruiting process much as you would design a customer's experience. Consider each step in the process to ensure the candidate is treated properly. Communication throughout the process is crucial. Don't oversell, keep your commitments and treat the candidate like you would treat your best customer. Training the Right Talent Ryan believes that many logistics companies do a poor job of training and development. The nature of the industry makes it difficult to pull employees away from day-to-day operations. While this may be true, the lack of training becomes evident in the business. Untrained and under-trained employees are not performing at their highest levels and they may never completely understand the job they were hired to do. Training is not just for new hires, everyone in the organization should be trained, coached and developed to ensure that everyone is getting better at their job. The right training will have a good return on investment, improve customer satisfaction, and deepen the ties to the employees who get trained. Companies should have the following training: 1. New hire training and development. 2. Ongoing training to reinforce learning while incorporating new software features, new processes, and lessons learned. 3. Developmental training for employees who are promoted into leadership positions and or lateral moves to expand their knowledge. People in leadership positions should be coaching their people on a regular basis. To ensure that the coaching is constructive and positive, leaders should be training in effective coaching techniques. Training should include supply chain topics, so employees learn about the whole supply chain, from end to end and not just their small piece of the process. Key Takeaways Even in the technology-obsessed logistics industry, people matter. The talent war is real. To succeed companies, need to: recruit, train, and retain the right talent. Invest in the right talent and build a culture that attracts the right people to your company.
