The patient-doctor relationship is complicated and fraught. Patients often feel confused and talked down to, in part because doctors feel like they need to project authority. As a physician and a poet, Laura Kolbe is trying to make room for uncertainty and humility from both sides in the exam room. Kolbe's new collection of poetry, Little Pharma, explores the messy and human side of doctoring. And: The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed so many vulnerabilities in our healthcare system, from racial inequities to provider burnout. Irène Mathieu is a writer, pediatrician, and medical teacher. She argues that poetry can be a small part of fixing those vulnerabilities. Later in the show: What if the difference between the right diagnosis and the wrong diagnosis is whether or not a doctor thinks you're believable? Cathryn Molloy shares why education, socio-economic status, and especially gender influence how doctors listen to and treat their patients. Plus: What happens when we empower on-the-ground healthcare workers like nurses with the ability to solve problems and make real changes in their workplace? Nursing and design thinking expert Erica Lewis says the lives of both healthcare workers and patients are transformed.

In this episode of Profit with a Plan, Marcia Riner welcomes Vikki Kempker, Workplace Strengths Strategist and creator of the TeamAlign Method™, to discuss how hidden misalignments can quietly derail your team's success.

Less burnout, fewer bottlenecks, and more consistent execution.

When I first heard the term conative, I was surprised I hadn't come across it before. After all, I live in the productivity space. But after my conversation with David Kolbe, it became clear just how crucial it is to understand this third part of the mind—especially if we want to work more naturally and avoid burnout.David is the CEO of Kolbe Corp and co-author of the book Do More, More Naturally: Empowering Effortless Success and the Freedom to Be Yourself. In this episode, we dive into how understanding your instinctive strengths—the way you naturally take action—can dramatically shift your productivity, your teamwork, and your overall approach to work and time.Six Discussion PointsWhat “conative” means and why it's a vital (and often overlooked) aspect of how we get things doneThe three parts of the mind—cognitive, affective, and conative—and how each plays a role in productivityHow to stop following one-size-fits-all productivity advice and instead lean into your natural strengthsWhat organizations can do to allow employees to operate more naturally without sacrificing excellenceWhy balance isn't about 50/50—it's about harmony and nuancePractical steps for realigning with your natural way of working when feeling stuck or exhaustedThree Connection PointsDavid's WebsiteDo More More Naturally: Empowering Effortless Success and the Freedom to Be YourselfReason plays a role in this. Give this a read if you want reason on your side.David's insights are a refreshing reminder that productivity isn't just about what we do—it's about how we instinctively do it. I walked away from this conversation with a new appreciation for nuance, individuality, and the value of building systems that work with our natural tendencies rather than against them. If you've ever felt like you're working hard but still not in flow, this episode might be just what you need.I'm trying something new with A Productive Conversation...Starting in May 2025, you'll be able to support the podcast directly—and help keep it focused, ad-free, and sustainable.

Drake and Kolbe talk about raccoon squalling and their terrible duck season

AMDG. Alumni and CVS health general management program developer Charlie Mihaliak steps onto stage to share an inspiring message about the importance of education in the current cultural moment. "What we're facing right now," Charlie declares, "is an idolatry of this farce of limitless freedom as the key to happiness." Charlie reminisces on his own journey to happiness, from his own Kolbe graduation to becoming a business major-- a major he quickly switched, choosing theater as his focus instead. Charlie reflects on the lessons he learned during this chapter of his life; why he considers theatre as "three-dimensional metaphysics"; the challenges facing students today; and why more choices equates to less happiness.   Kolbe Chief Operations Officer and grandson of the founders Chris Rowles takes the spotlight next to share an inspiring reflection on the development and growth of Kolbe Academy from its earliest days in the 1980s. "They didn't have the internet to find each other, but somehow they still did," Chris remarks. Chris advocates for Kolbe families and discusses Kolbe's fundraising initiatives aimed at providing accessible education to all. "With your help," Chris adds, "we can ensure that our students are prepared not just academically, but spiritually and morally for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”   To learn more about or contribute to Kolbe Academy's financial assistance program, click here.     Related Kolbecast episodes:  213 This Is a Beginning, speeches from 2024 Commencement in Atlanta  224 Forming Apostolic Hearts, a speech given by Msgr.

She shares how structured communication and systematic approaches can transform your team into a high-performance powerhouse.

Develop a consistent weekly meeting agenda to streamline communication and enhance productivity. Utilize the Kolbe assessment to understand team dynamics and improve collaboration. Implement structured methods like "Follow the DAMN system" to enforce consistency and accountability.

If you're a leader looking to build your dream team, this episode is for you. You can't do it all, so you need to bring in support. But instead of hiring for your team, what if you used the revolutionary approach of casting your team instead? This mindset shift can change the way you lead. I know it did for me. Traditional hiring has its pitfalls. You may hire the right skills, but miss out on the core values fit that you need. You may hire people you like, such as friends or acquaintances, without thinking about how they'll suit your business. This is even more likely to happen when you're desperate. When you're building your team, remember this: clarity is key and clarity is kindness. Part of the process I've missed in the past was assessing cognitive skills. You should also understand what motivates someone, as this can reveal their personality and emotional makeup. The Kolbe A Index can help you identify someone's modus operandi, which is crucial to see if they're right for your business. You need to align people's strengths with what's expected for success in the role. If you've gotten it wrong before, take away the lessons from that experience with you moving forward. Remember that even when you do everything right, you can still miss a critical piece. The insights I've gained from the Kolbe A Index have helped me improve my process of casting my team. It has also helped me onboard team members when I do find the right fit. Weekly check-ins in the beginning stages of onboarding can also support your casting success.   www.beautyculturespa.com @beautyculture.medspa

In this conversation, Will Wright interviews Joshua Mazarin, author of 'Led by the Immaculata', exploring the profound themes of Marian consecration, the role of Mary in the life of the Church, and her unique relationship with the Holy Spirit. Joshua shares his inspiration for writing the book, the theological foundations of Marian devotion, and how it serves as a practical guide for living out one's faith. The discussion emphasizes the importance of entrusting oneself to Mary and understanding her as a mediator of grace, ultimately leading to a deeper relationship with Christ.St. Maximilian Kolbe is one of the most well-known and well-loved saints of all time. Many are familiar with the story of his selfless act at Auschwitz, where he sacrificed his own life to save a man who was a husband and father. But do you know about Kolbe's deep love for Mary, whom he called the Immaculata? How he surrendered everything to Our Lady to grow in holiness and align his will to the will of God? How he consecrated his life to Mary?In Led by the Immaculata, Joshua Mazrin, a Kolbe devotee and Mariology expert, will* introduce you to St. Maximilian Kolbe,* explain the meaning of consecration and the objectives of the Knights of the Immaculata,* walk you through the fourteen doable and practical steps of the consecration, and* provide a step-by-step plan for completing the consecration.Kolbe taught that by giving our lives completely to Mary, the Immaculata, she would direct our will to the will of the Holy Spirit—that is, the will of God. Kolbe wanted this message shared far and wide and so founded the Knights of the Immaculata with the goal of consecrating as many people as possible to Mary and her son.Each step of the consecration journey is explained in practical and theological terms, making it accessible to all, regardless of vocation or age. While Kolbe initially targeted men, the principles of holiness are equally relevant to women. The book concludes by empowering you—men and women alike—to be evangelists for the Immaculata and the Gospel and to be spiritual leaders in your family, workplace, and community.Led by the Immaculata invites you to embrace a deeper devotion to Mary and emulate Kolbe's path to holiness through the practical application of the fourteen steps in your daily life.Buy it today! - https://www.avemariapress.com/products/led-by-the-immaculataThanks for listening to Good Distinctions!

In this episode of The Best Boss Podcast, Danny Ceballos and members of The Hive of expert coaches explore the delicate balance between decisive action and thoughtful deliberation, sharing research, real-world insights, and actionable strategies. Through practical examples and thought-provoking discussions, the coaches examine the importance of understanding personal and team tendencies, leveraging tools like Positive Intelligence, and embracing the nuances of decision-making in a fast-paced world. Whether you're a quick starter or a deliberate planner, this episode offers invaluable lessons for leaders looking to enhance their effectiveness. Key Takeaways The Speed Paradox: Effective leadership requires balancing speed and deliberation. Quick decisions can drive innovation but must be tempered with thoughtful strategy. Positive Intelligence (PQ): Practices like PQ reps help leaders transition from reactive to reflective states, enhancing clarity and decision-making. Go Slow to Go Fast: Slowing down can lead to better long-term outcomes, reducing burnout and improving decision-making for both individuals and teams. Strategic vs. Tactical Action: Quick actions are ideal for tactical tasks, while strategic initiatives often benefit from deliberate planning and reflection. The Cost of Rushing: Rushing decisions can lead to mistakes, misalignment with core values, and suboptimal results, especially in complex environments. Know Your Leadership Style: Tools like Kolbe, DISC, and StrengthsFinder can help leaders and teams understand their natural tendencies and work more cohesively. Adapt to Context: Decision-making should align with the nature of the task, whether it's hiring, crisis management, or long-term planning. Build Awareness: Understanding personal and organizational tendencies can help teams balance speed with deliberation, fostering collaboration rather than conflict. Seasons of Leadership: Leadership requires acknowledging natural cycles—times for planning, action, and reflection—to maximize effectiveness. The Power of the Hive: Leveraging diverse perspectives and strengths within a team leads to more balanced and effective decision-making.

Do you take the time to acknowledge your team's contributions, or do you overlook their strengths? In this episode, Shannon Waller explores the transformative power of genuine praise in the workplace. Discover how effective recognition can improve team morale, fuel innovation, and drive overall success in your business. Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: Is guilt a necessary emotion, or is it just a societal construct that holds us back? Entrepreneurs can get overwhelmed because they hold on to tasks they feel guilty about delegating. Take notice of people who are isolating themselves: are they feeling remorse, regret, or shame? Excessive or misplaced guilt leads to negative self-perception and stress without resulting in constructive change. Is misplaced guilt preventing you from taking positive action and making progress? To avoid situations that will lead to guilty feelings, stay away from commitments where you cannot easily deliver on what's needed—in other words, stay within areas of your Unique Ability® and strengths. Learning about herself through her Kolbe, PRINT®, and CliftonStrengths® profiles has directed Shannon toward areas that result in more productivity, more profitability, and creating more value. Common triggers include failing to meet personal or professional expectations and neglecting personal well-being in favor of work commitments. Cultural and societal factors contribute significantly to feelings of guilt, often rooted in childhood experiences. Strategies To Overcome Or Avoid Guilt: Reframe Your Mindset Question your beliefs about guilt: Is it really true that you're failing if you don't respond immediately? Does what you're feeling match the urgency of the situation? Set Clear Boundaries Establishing boundaries between work and personal life is crucial for maintaining mental health. Free Days™ are essential for rejuvenation; without them, we risk burnout by constantly checking that nothing slips by at work. Communicate Expectations Clearly communicate your expectations with team members regarding response times to avoid causing unnecessary guilt. Also be clear with your clients about not being available 24/7. Have Confidence To Say No When opportunities don't align with your priorities, it's okay to say no graciously. Be Compassionate With Yourself If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks and, therefore, not growing. If you own a mistake, forgive yourself and ask forgiveness of others, then take steps to ensure you don't make the same mistake again. You're not failing; you're learning. Build A Supportive Network Shame isolates people. A support network helps people grow. Instead of criticizing the person, look to what the behavior was that didn't work and solutions for improvement. Let Go Of Control You can be in charge, providing energy and electricity, but you don't need to be in control of everything. Great leaders aren't perfect; they're honest, provide direction, and don't make people feel guilty when they're not perfect. Encourage the team to play offense, not defense so they won't be made to feel shame, regret, and remorse. Shannon's recipe for no guilt: center yourself doing your best work with your best audience.
