Krista Smith, Director, Project Management Center of Excellence at Sandia National Laboratories, joins Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to share insights on leadership development and organizational management. As an executive at the nation's largest national security engineering laboratory, Krista leads Sandia's project management capability while drawing from her extensive experience in facilities, infrastructure, supply chain, and business operations. Krista discusses what she calls "the inner game of leadership" - a concept focusing on self-care, positive self-talk, and personal preparation that allows leaders to show up authentically for their teams. She explains that early in her leadership journey, she recognized the need for tools to manage multiple challenges while caring for herself. This awareness led her to explore how leaders can authentically engage with their teams without sacrificing their own wellbeing. One of Krista's hardest leadership lessons has been learning to be gentle with herself when making mistakes. She references the Buddhist concept of "the second arrow" - how we often compound our suffering by criticizing ourselves for our initial errors. Krista shares how she's learned to recognize and interrupt her negative self-talk patterns, particularly when her natural tendency to move quickly conflicts with her organization's collaborative culture. When addressing leadership improvement, Krista explains her methodical approach to organizational development. She maintains a "someday maybe" list of potential improvements and assesses organizations against a baseline system that includes prioritization, service delivery, quality assurance, and people management. This balanced approach allows her to address immediate concerns while maintaining focus on long-term development. Krista offers valuable insights on management operating systems, emphasizing the importance of predictability and stability. She focuses on managing energy versus time and creating predictable meeting cadences that allow team members to rely on consistent anchor points throughout their week. When facilitating problem-solving sessions, she carefully observes engagement levels and adapts her approach based on team dynamics. Working with highly analytical colleagues at Sandia National Laboratories has taught Krista to accommodate different thinking styles. She visualizes these styles in a multi-dimensional grid, considering factors like learning preferences (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and strategic orientation (tactical vs. big picture). This awareness allows her to design problem-solving approaches that engage diverse thinkers. As advice for early-career professionals, Krista emphasizes the importance of understanding your personal "why." She reflects that outward signs of success haven't provided the satisfaction she once expected and encourages focusing on finding meaning in the work itself rather than always chasing the next achievement.

In this heartfelt and practical episode, I sit down with Krista Smith, a seasoned digital marketer and family member navigating the Seniors' Care journey with her parents. We dive deep into the importance of embracing a Relational Approach in seniors' care—from the move-in experience to daily interactions.  Key Takeaways: 1. Embrace Authenticity: Show families the real moments of connection, joy, and compassion happening in your care home. Ditch the stock photos and lean into storytelling through user-generated content.  2. Understand the Seasons:  Whether you're focused on staff recruitment, family outreach, or resident engagement, tailor your messaging to meet your audience where they are.  3. Shift from Transactional to Relational: The admission process can set the tone for the entire experience. Simple changes, like starting conversations with “Tell me about your loved one,” can build trust and reduce stress.  4. Support Family Connections: Partner with families to share their stories or offer peer-to-peer support opportunities to help others feel less alone in their caregiving journeys.  5. Bring Joy to Dementia Care: By inviting families to lean into the world their loved one creates, they can discover moments of wonder and connection rather than focusing on loss.  You can learn more about Krista Smith at her website, Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thekristasmith/ or Instagram More information about this episode here

The Mass Casualty Commission continued its focus on the various contextual elements of domestic, intimate partner, and family violence today with two further panel discussions. These represented the seventh and eighth sessions of the MCC which have focused on these topics, each of which provided ‘context' rather than specific analysis of the April 18-19, 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting. In her introduction to the first panel discussion, Krista Smith from the MCC noted that these discussions were designed to set up the discussions which are anticipated to take place in Phase 3 of the MCC proceedings, where potential recommendations will be formulated. This would seem to be hopeful sign that the many experts who have been retained by the MCC will actually discuss the events which have lead to the establishment of this inquiry, but that remains to be seen, and given what we have seen to date it would be unsafe to assume that will actually happen. Anyone who has been watching the MCC proceedings over the past two weeks may have noted that each of the experts who have been asked to contribute their thoughts have been female. The ten experts today were all women. I mentioned this last week as an observation, rather than a critique, but as we get further into these topics, it may be time to ask whether it may have been better to have a wider variety of expertise in terms of gender. I have stated elsewhere that I think there has been too much total expertise focused on these topics, but if we are going to have up to ten independent discussions on family or intimate partner violence, it might be good to hear from both genders.

Krista Smith, the Director for Facilities Program Integration, Strategic and Capital Acquisition Investment Planning at Sandia National Laboratories, joined NPI in the third May 2022 episode of the "Path of Most Persistence" Podcast."

Journalist, author, and influencer's influencer Derek Blasberg joins the show to chat with Krista about life, fashion, and the Shondaland series, Inventing Anna. Blasberg (who made his way into the NYC fashion and celebrity worlds around the time that the real-life Anna Delvey was busy conning the city's elite), shares his close encounters with the savvy swindler, talks about the show's iconic locations, and discusses its presentation of elite culture.

As we delve further into the Mass Casualty Commission proceedings, we are seeing a variety of formats for the conveying of information. Today, the MCC proceedings featured six individuals in what was called a ‘round table' discussion, answering questions about police paraphernalia and those who impersonate police officers. (Information was conveyed, and questions were answered, but I am purposefully avoiding using the word ‘testimony', as the witnesses were not sworn in, nor was there any suggestion that these individuals would potentially be subjected to cross examination.) Krista Smith from the MCC was the moderator, and the speakers were former Kentville Police Chief Julia Cecchetto, retired RCMP officer Brian Carter, retired Edmonton Police Inspector (and memorabilia collector) Phil Baily, self-described “settler lawyer” Meaghan Daniel from Montreal, and Oxford University Professor Ian Loader (speaking from Melbourne, Australia). Carter spoke about earning your uniform as an officer, and that the ceremonial uniform was an important possession for retired officers. Baily spoke about the community of collectors, and how collecting and exchanging memorabilia can be a social connector with other police officers. Cecchetto was less sentimentally attached to the police uniform or paraphernalia ,and suggested that if citizens are unsure of whether someone is an officer, they should call dispatch for confirmation or drive to the police station to have the status confirmed. The key points from the day came from Prof. Loader and Ms. Daniel. Prof. Loader noted how venerated and revered the RCMP brand has become, like the British police, and that it is difficult to have a sober conversation about reforming police structures and practices because of that status. Ms. Daniel added that for marginalized individuals, the brand is not a symbol of safety, but rather terror. She also made an important point when asked about the risk/benefit analysis of allowing police memorabilia to be possessed outside of actively serving officers. She said we should look at who bears the risk, and who gains the benefit when we ask that question. After the discussion concluded, Commissioner MacDonald spoke about a decision the Commissioners have made with respect to Cst. Vicki Colford. They are going to allow Cst. Colford, who was stationed at the head of Portapique Beach Road during the early hours of the killing spree, to answer questions in writing by sworn affidavit. This is certainly not the most effective way to get answers, but Cst. Colford must have presented compelling evidence of her mental health condition or concerns. The other note was from Commissioner Fitch, who confirmed that the MCC's interim report would be released on May 1st, as scheduled, and that it would be posted to the MCC website. Expectations are quite low for this report, given that we have not completed the examination of witnesses for any portion of the killing spree. Commissioner Fitch said that there would be no recommendations contained in this initial report. The MCC is back then next Monday, May 2nd, when there will be presentations on firearms access and the laws surrounding the possession of certain guns. I am going to be reviewing the seven published reports that are now on the MCC website to see what, if any, wisdom may be gleaned from them.

Sienna Miller joins the show to talk about her performance as Sophie Whitehouse in the six-part series, Anatomy Of A Scandal.

Olivia Colman joins the show to talk about her performance in Maggie Gyllenhaal's feature directorial debut, The Lost Daughter. Adapted from Elena Ferrante's novel by the same name,The Lost Daughter follows Leda (Olivia Colman), a college professor vacationing in Greece who becomes obsessed with a young mother and daughter who she encounters at the beach. Over the course of Leda's trip, her proximity to the duo prompts memories from her own early days of motherhood, forcing Leda to confront her past.  In this interview, Colman explains why she was immediately drawn to the script, what it was like to be directed by Gyllenhaal, and how she collaborated with co-stars Dakota Johnson, Ed Harris, and Jessie Buckley.  Colman also reflects on her humble journey from British theatre and TV comedy to international stardom, offers advice to young actors on how to stay grounded and grateful, and opens up about the anxiety caused by her dwindling anonymity.

Set in 1920's Montana, the film follows rancher Phil Burbank (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his brother George (Jesse Plemons).

The film follows Jackie Justice (Halle Berry), a disgraced MMA fighter who returns to the cage to seek redemption after the son she had given up as a baby suddenly re-enters her life.In this interview, Berry describes her immediate fascination with the script, her journey to the director's chair, and how she re-worked the story (which originally followed a  20-something Irish Catholic white woman) to center on a middle-aged Black mother.Berry also describes the intense physical training she went through to prepare for the role, touches on the challenges of straddling her many responsibilities on set, and reflects on how she has learned to manage fear in both her personal life and over the course of her career. 

Andrew Garfield sits down to discuss his latest film tick, tick…BOOM!, in which he plays Jonathan Larson, the American playwright and composer who gave the world the musical phenomenon Rent. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Lin-Manuel Miranda, and it's also the first time audiences will see Garfield singing and dancing as he steps into the world of musical theater.The Academy Award nominee and Tony winner shares his intense preparation for the role, the urgency that lies at the heart of the story, and the importance of activist artists. He also reflects on the unique pressures faced by young actors today, the lessons he's learned from directors like Mike Nichols and Martin Scorsese, and the gift in embracing challenges that at first feel impossible.

Have you ever spent hours trying to figure out the technical aspects of your business and wondered if it would be smarter to outsource? That can be a hard line to draw sometimes, so we're going to try to simplify it in this episode.  Today we are joined by tech guru Krista Smith who is sharing 7 tips to help you decide whether you should figure it out on your own or leave it to the pros!  Krista Smith loves helping women over 40 get confident with the tech that will allow their businesses to thrive online. She gets it. She is a part of the generation of women who didn't grow up with a smartphone in their pockets. They didn't have a computer (or possibly even internet) in their homes until their 20's. That means they didn't have their childhoods or teenage years to learn how to adapt to changing technology. Coming from a background in education, she's been teaching tech for over ten years. Between coaching (she's a CTI Trained Co-Active Coach), building websites for her clients, and teaching women how to code, she's learned plenty about helping women launch profitable businesses. Most recently she's become a Certified StoryBrand Guide, helping her clients master their messaging too. Keep in mind while listening that these tips can really be applied to anything that you're thinking about outsourcing!  Get access to all my free downloads and productivity tips HERE I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram Show notes available at www.andrealiebross.com/podcast25The Get a Grip Masterclass starting September 12th will teach you how to get a clear picture of each and every facet of your business, in just 5 20 minutes increments, so that you'll easily know what needs work or needs to change in order to get to that next level.
