Her recent book: Dominate Your Sport – The 90-Day Comprehensive Performance Journal for Female Athletes has exploded onto the charts in multiple categories including: Sports Training, Health Fitness & Dieting, and Women's Health. Stacey teaches athletes, coaches, trainers, and parents The F.I.X. CODE technique for staying in the present and removing emotional attachments from their past performances, allowing them to gain a significant edge over their competitors. Stacey's first exposure to excellence took place at a young age. Her family's Montreal home was the scene of frequent national and international meetings of the most amazing influencers in gymnastics and wrestling as they prepared for the 1976 Olympic Games. Those scenes are indelibly etched in her mind and became the foundation for her values and goals in life. A former Canadian National 1 competitive gymnast herself, Stacey knows what it takes to rise through the ranks to excel in sports. Her brilliant, logistical mind led her to event planning on a massive scale–4 Olympic Games, Pan Am and Commonwealth Games then on to the G-20, G-8, G-7 conferences, working for some of the most powerful people in the political arena at the time.In order to bring this to the next generation of athletes and youth, Stacey had to personally experience its every facet and nuance. It has taken her years and lots of learning's though her commitment and belief in the F.I.X. CODE technique never wavers. With her undeniable passion and determination to inspire and support athletes and high achievers with their fears, anxiety, and those horrible feelings of mental self-sabotage. As she once suffered from a fear of heights, as a gymnast, she knows the challenges and pain that athletes go through each and every day…during tryouts, practices, and competitions. Experiencing the F.I.X. CODE is a gift… To learn it, and it becomes a gift that just keeps on giving. Connect with Stacey NyeWebsite: https://thefixcode.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefixcodeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theFixCodeTechnique Connect with Barb!Chat with Barb https://calendly.com/barbvFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKidFactor/ | https://www.facebook.com/groups/thekidfactorfamilyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekidfactorofficial/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barb-v-81497547/Thank you so much for joining us today!If you enjoyed this episode, please submit a rating and review and share it with a friend.

Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist and podcaster, and Ina Park is a sex positive STI researcher, physician, and author. The two come together in this episode to discuss desire, pleasure, and how to communicate about what feels good with partners and providers. Dan delves into discovering kinks, pleasure as we age, and trying new things alone and with partners. Ina reflects on her experiences as a provider, having conversations with patients around sex and pleasure as bodies, needs, and abilities change.   Dan says that gay people might be better at sex, “not because we're magic...we use the 4 magic words ‘what are you into?'” Ina explains that honest communication with a partner, a physician, a sex columnist, or a therapist knocks down barriers to explore sex and discover pleasure. The two emphasize the importance of both having providers and friends (with a good sense of judgment) with whom you can discuss sex freely.   This is our first episode of the 3-episode mini-series on pleasure.  Resources:   Connect with Dan: https://savage.love/, @dansavage on Instagram, and @fakedansavage on Twitter/X  Connect with Ina: https://www.inapark.net/ and @InaParkMD on Twitter/X  Learn how to include pleasure in sexual health history-taking from the National Coalition for Sexual Health: https://nationalcoalitionforsexualhealth.org/tools/for-healthcare-providers/video-series    Bios:   Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist, podcaster and author whose graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about monogamy, gay rights, religion, and politics. “Savage Love,” Dan's sex-advice column, was first published in 1991 and is now syndicated across the United States and Canada.

Dr. Zoe Chance emphasizes the importance of examining problems from different perspectives and setting long-term goals for success. Approaching problem-solving differently can result in innovative solutions that others might overlook. By aligning these objectives with Zoe's "magic question," individuals can foster a sense of collaboration and create opportunities for progress. Throughout the podcast, Dr. Chance shares stories of how people have successfully applied the magic question in various situations. For instance, she recounts the story of Gloria Steinem, who addressed the issue of sex trafficking in a Zambian village by asking the magic question, leading to a revelation that an electric fence was required to protect crops from elephants. Such examples reinforce the importance of aligning long-term goals with the magic question in order to effectively influence and create meaningful change. This episode, which features many insights from Zoe's book, Influence is Your Superpower, also highlights the importance of saying "No" (with a challenge to do so to every request for 24 hours) and the interesting way she set up her book chapters (along with some tips for aspiring authors). In this episode, you will be able to: Enhance your connections and communication through the strength of influence. Achieve better work-life balance by saying 'no' and outlining clear-cut boundaries. Embrace an innovative way of addressing problems and designing future targets. Comprehend the workings of decision-making and how to convince others with competence. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, Melina introduces Zoe Chance and her book Influence Is Your Superpower. She highlights the relevance of the topic to the upcoming guest, Vanessa Patrick's book, The Power of Saying No. 00:03:24 - From Theater to Sales, Zoe talks about her experience in theater and how it helped her develop the skills to communicate, move, and connect with people. She also narrates her experience in sales, door-to-door sales, telemarketing, and marketing, where she learned about rejection and the importance of being comfortable with saying (and hearing) no. 00:06:44 - The Power of No, Zoe introduces her 24-hour no challenge, which she did for a whole month one November, and the 24-hour no challenge she gives her students. She explains how saying no can help build healthy relationships and create space in one's life. She also emphasizes the importance of not justifying one's no and the need to disentangle the request from the relationship. 00:10:23 - Handling Objections, Zoe talks about handling objections in sales training, addressing all the different kinds of objections that someone might have. She reveals that most sales training is about handling objections. She adds that it is often a good idea not to justify one's no because it can create a way for them to convince you to change your mind. 00:13:00 - The Worst Thing They Can Say is No, Zoe explains the mindset that "the worst thing they can say is no," -- how this is both helpful and harmful. 00:15:33 - Framing and Half Chapters, Zoe discusses her use of framing in her book, Influence Is Your Superpower, and how she structured the chapters to include shorter chapters between longer ones to create more momentum and ease of reading. She also shares her love for Harry Potter and how she used references to create a little magic for readers. 00:19:16 - The Magic of Harry Potter, Melina and Zoe bond over their love for Harry Potter and share their experiences visiting the Harry Potter Studios outside London. They discuss the level of thoughtfulness and detail that went into creating the world of Harry Potter and how it inspires them in their own work. 00:23:49 - The Power of Framing, Zoe explains the concept of framing and shares an example from her idol, Derren Brown, a mind reader and illusionist who is a master at directing attention. She discusses how framing works to focus our attention on one thing and make us ignore everything else, and how this is a metaphor for how our brain makes decisions. 00:29:22 - The Influence of Derren Brown, Melina and Zoe discuss the work of Derren Brown and how he is an expert in influence, even though he is not an academic. They share examples of how he uses questioning techniques to get people to believe certain things and how he can get them to choose something different from what they originally wanted. 00:31:38 - The Importance of Experimentation, Zoe emphasizes the importance of experimentation in behavioral science and how it is critical to test and iterate on things. 00:31:31 - Setting Goals and The Magic Question, Dr. Zoe Chance shares tips on setting long-term goals and using the magic question to collaborate and problem-solve with others. The magic question involves asking "What it would take...?" to achieve a specific goal or overcome an obstacle. By doing this, it shifts the mindset from resistance to collaboration, and the other person becomes committed to supporting the outcome. 00:35:20 - Personal Journey of Transformation, The book Influence Is Your Superpower is a personal journey of transformation to becoming someone that people want to say yes to. It provides readers with the tools needed to gain influence through personal and professional relationships. The book is focused on collaboration and problem-solving to achieve goals. 00:37:06 - Connecting with Zoe Chance, The best way to get the book Influence Is Your Superpower is through Zoe Chance's website, Zoechance.com. You can connect with her on Twitter, where she shares tips and engages with readers. She encourages readers to share how they use the tips from the book. 00:38:39 - Using the Magic Question, The magic question "What would it take?" is a simple yet powerful tool that can be used to achieve goals and overcome obstacles. It involves asking the other person what it would take to achieve a specific goal or overcome an obstacle. This approach shifts the mindset from resistance to collaboration and helps to identify the roadmap needed to achieve the desired outcome. 00:39:14 - Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation.

On today's episode, we have an incredible power duo joining us: Leo and Shima Henderson from Georgia. They recently closed an impressive POWER deal as a couple and made over $10,000 on their very first deal. In this episode, we will dive into the details of their success and break down the key factors that contributed to their achievement. Despite already having stable jobs, financial security, and a growing family, they took a leap of faith to venture into real estate and start a new business.    Their mindset was a driving force behind their success, and they will share the strategies and game plans they used so you can replicate their success in your journey.

Establish rapport by fostering mutual understanding and connection. Actively seek out potential opportunities by proactively engaging with others. When aiming for maximum value, prioritize building meaningful relationships. Avoid pushing your price; instead, focus on understanding and aligning with the buyer's perspective.

The other day I found myself having all of the “should” thoughts… “I should call my parents, actually read the stack of books on my night stand, clean the dishwasher filter, etc.” Sometimes “shoulds” can be helpful nudges, and other times, they can load us up with unnecessary guilt. Recently I've been asking myself a question when I think I “should” do something that is helping me gain greater clarity on my next step, and release guilt if in fact I don't have the capacity to do the thing my brain thinks I should do. My hope is this question might prove helpful for you too! SHOWNOTES: https://www.theconnectedmomlife.com/87 WANT MORE EPISODES? Subscribe to the Connected Mom Life #RealTalk PRIVATE Podcast!

Being influential sounds great, even desirable. But doing influence? That's when alarm bells go off in our brains—because we tend to imagine the act of influencing as manipulative, coercive, and 100% transactional. And sure, we've all had icky experiences with influence. But when we flatten its inherent complexity, we risk missing out on influence's ability to instigate positive impact. Yale School of Management professor and author Zoe Chance believes influence is an untapped superpower; that's why she recently published the book, Influence Is Your Superpower: The Science of Winning Hearts, Sparking Change, and Making Good Things Happen. And it's why we asked her onto the show to help us break down some common misconceptions about influence, better harness its power to catalyze systemic change, and learn how to ask what she calls the “Magic Question.” Our book is available now at bravenewwork.com We want to hear from you.

Welcome back to our conversation on theme days! And if you're just joining us, here's a quick recap... Theme days are batching like things together and giving these tasks a home in our calendars. In short, using theme days helps us be more intentional with our time. Our first step in implementing theme days is discovering what matters most to you! Not what you should do, but what you truly want to do! So my encouragement to you is to think of the major priorities in your week that need to be done. What are things you do every single week in this season of your life that you could fit into a theme day? Grocery shopping? Meal planning? Scheduling appointments? Connecting with your kids, etc.? Instead of every single week looking at your calendar to figure out when to schedule these things, let's give them a home on our calendars to make these things FLOW! Reminder: the goal isn't perfection, it's creating more peace for yourself. And if you like hearing how other people are applying the concept of theme days…in this episode I'm also sharing what my theme days look like for the season I'm in. I hope this encourages you!

Do you desire peace, ease and being present for your life? Since you're here, my guess is that the answer is 100% YES. Did you know that it all starts with your thoughts? Because we have the power to change our own minds. This past week, as I was looking ahead at our very FULL week, with so many things on my to-do list, I caught myself in a negative head space. Stressed and asking myself—how will I get it all done? So I decided to stop, take those thoughts captive and work on renewing my mind. I asked myself how I WANTED to feel. Then from that place, I contemplated what thoughts I needed to think in order to generate that feeling. And then from there, I just did the next right thing. I asked myself the magic question: What can I do now to make it easier later? The goal is NOT perfection—the goal is peace, flow and order. We get there step by step, hour by hour, by working on our mindsets and rhythms. So here's to progress and asking ourselves the magic question. I hope you enjoy this episode! Don't forget to tune in next week for what you need to set yourself up for an amazing holiday season!

How do you turn prospective clients into paying clients?Let's talk about the magic question you should always ask a prospective client on an initial discovery call. This question will tell you everything you need to know about whether they will become a paying client or not. In this episode you'll learn how to structure your discovery call, what to charge for it, what to include, and so much more. You'll be bringing in new paying clients in no time. I know it can be disheartening when you hop on a call and the first question your prospective client asks is “what's your hourly rate?” but don't be discouraged! I'm also teaching you how to redirect the conversation to get them talking about their project and learning about you before you start talking money. Tune in to find out what the magic question is and why it's so effective. I would love to connect on Facebook: facebook.com/InteriorDesignBusinessAcademy or Instagram: instagram.com/interiordesignbusinessacademy!Show notes are available at https://interiordesignbusinessacademy.com.

Dr. Zoe Chance is a professor at the Yale School of Management, and is the author of Influence Is Your Superpower: The Science of Winning Hearts, Sparking Change, and Making Good Things Happen. Her framework for behavior change is the foundation for Google's global food policy. In this conversation, Zoe describes forms of influence and discusses how good relationships lead to good work. She challenges the people to use influence for the greater good, not just for individual purposes.   https://bit.ly/TLP-322   Key Takeaways [2:11] Zoe, a sci-fi fan, named her daughter Ripley after Ellen Ripley from Aliens. [5:16] Almost all of us, even the most successful, have negative feelings about influence strategies or tactics, but almost all of us would also like to be more influential. Influence has a bad rap. We think of it as distasteful. With new science, Zoe is bringing back the idea of influence as a leadership trait. [7:06] People have different definitions of influence and manipulation. Zoe considers influence to be anything that shifts someone's thinking or behavior, including manipulation, persuasion, behavioral economics, coercion, military might, and incentives. Manipulation is someone trying to influence a person in an underhanded way with a motive that does not align with the well-being of the person. [8:13] Behavioral economics nudges are mostly imperceptible, but would not be upsetting to people being influenced for their best interest, such as attempts to get people to save more for retirement. [9:48] Over the past year, up to the rise of bad inflation, employees have had a lot of power, and companies were desperate to hire. There's been a crisis in the service industry. Now the power is shifting to employers. They want people to be there but, for the most part, they don't have good reasons for wanting people to be there. Humu's Laszlo Bock asks, “Why, to look over their shoulder?” [11:51] Jan, Zoe, and Jim discuss whether most companies need to have their employees in the office, and how the return to the office is being handled. [13:51] Jim finds that in-person meetings are much more effective than online meetings that are filled with side-text meetings within the meeting. Jim also observes the need to train new college graduates in the culture of the organization. A culture needs to be maintained and groomed like a garden and that happens better in person. [15:31] Zoe would like to see leaders be better able to create the culture that they want. Bringing people back to the office to experience a negative culture is a horrible plan. [17:19] Jim contrasts the freedom of travel and the restrictions of the cube farm he experienced early in his career. He didn't like working in a cube and it affected his career. Now, since the pandemic, everyone has enjoyed freedom, and once freedom has been enjoyed it's hard for it to be taken away. Zoe says taking freedoms and privileges away will cause a rebellion; she shares an example from a bank. [20:26] Zoe shares a story featuring the Magic Question “What would it take for that to never happen again?”, and how to use it. It acknowledges that the people you are trying to influence know much more about their life than you do. It's not perceived as pressure to follow your advice and it can lead to a commitment to the positive outcome you want. [26:05] Zoe gives a shoutout to the veterans who come through the Yale School of Management. The professors love to have veterans in their classes because they are good listeners, and pay attention to the professors, their colleagues, and their classmates. They amplify other people's ideas and ask follow-up questions; they only speak when they feel they have something important to share. [28:16] Zoe tells about her TEDx talk, “How to Make a Behavior Addictive.” She tells how a pedometer injured her body, her marriage, and her relationships. She is vulnerable to technology. Social media is addictive because it's designed carefully to keep your attention. There is evidence that social media does much more harm than good. Zoe has studied the psychology that makes people want to come back. [31:28] Zoe explains the manipulative and negative power of variable intermittent rewards. If someone is using variable intermittent rewards to manipulate you, it's an unhealthy relationship. Social media does that to us constantly. [35:38] Zoe shares advice for leaders on having difficult conversations involving challenging feedback. Have these conversations as soon as you realize that there's something amiss, ideally, that day. If you are giving criticism, the longer you wait, the more betrayed the person feels because you've been harboring resentment against them. Having the practice of bringing it up as soon as you can is life-changing. [39:35] How can you have more power within your organization? Internalize the idea that good work comes from good relationships. Reach out to get to know challenging people in other departments and ask questions. “How is this going for you? It's kind of been a struggle for me and I'd like to understand your perspective.” It's hard for people not to like you when you reach out and connect with them. [41:42] Research shows men's social and professional networks overlap a lot while women's social and professional networks do not. If you are a woman, Zoe advises you to reach out to women and men at work, especially if you're not already friends with lots of people at work. You will find a friendly rapport and reciprocity that leads to things happening more easily. Men usually have better networks. [43:41] As Zoe was writing Influence Is Your Superpower, she asked a group of people about negotiations. Only 40% of men and 17% of women said they like or love negotiating. When she asked another group to describe their most recent negotiation, their adjectives were overwhelmingly positive. About 80% of them had had a good result and felt empowered! [47:54] Zoe discusses power in an organization. Influence works the same in leadership and relationships. The idea that a leader should never apologize because apologizing gives up power is wrong to Zoe. You build a lot of social capital by apologizing at the right time, in the right way, and by taking responsibility. That's powerful! [49:44] Zoe provides an anecdote that listeners can copy about a leader raising his status by sharing the spotlight. Jess Cain VP of Customer Service at Eversource has a 96% employee engagement rating by sharing a short weekly voicemail including a spotlight on two different team members. She has 1,500 members on her team. Jan notes also that people support what they help create. [53:27] Zoe's challenge to listeners: Challenge the frame of consumerism. Thinking of ourselves as consumers has caused the climate crisis. Think about using your influence in the grand scheme and not just for your benefit. Be a role model. Zoe is donating half the profits from her book to 350.org. [56:00] Closing quote: “Think twice before you speak because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.” — Napoleon Hill.   Quotable Quotes “Almost all of us, … have mixed feelings about influence. … If I ask people …  what are three adjectives that come to mind when you think of influence tactics, [it's] yucky, greedy, manipulative. … When I ask … ‘Would you like to be more influential?”, all of them say, yes.” “Employees have been more productive at home than they have been at work, … but it hasn't changed the fact that employers want employees to come back.” “Employers that offer more flexibility are going to do much better in the long run, because they'll be able to recruit the best talent.” “As most academics do, we collaborate with people that we never see and that's partly because we're introverted and so we're kind of happy to be in our little cave. But there's no problem with collaborating with people that you don't see.” “If you want to onboard new people and help them make friends; to have informal conversations and collaborations, OK, that's great. We just don't need to all be at the office every single day, or even every single week, right?” “Plenty of surveys have shown that leaders are actually out of touch about the real culture of their company. … the actual reality is kind of a crappy culture. It's horrible to bring people back to the office to experience the crappy culture.” “Bringing people back to the office or allowing people to work remotely has a differential impact on women and people of color and various groups. So there's more equality when we have more flexibility. That's another reason I'm generally in favor of giving people flexibility.” “Every freedom, every privilege, should be so carefully and thoughtfully doled out with the expectation that what you're giving an employee is going to be in perpetuity, or there's going to be a rebellion.” “When she's asking this {Magic Question], she's respectfully acknowledging ‘Listen, you know all kinds of things that I don't know,” which is always the case with the people we're trying to influence. They know all kinds of things about their life that we don't.” “The most addictive piece [of social media] … is called ‘variable intermittent rewards.'” “We also often don't really realize what our expectations are until they get violated.” “Just internalize the idea that good work comes from good relationships.” “There is a ‘liking' gap of 12%, where people like you 12% more than you think that they do. And this very much includes people who you have some bit of conflict or strife with.” “The majority … have this idea of negotiations that … comes from the movies. … We don't directly observe many negotiations and we're just not realizing that in our lives, most of the time when we're negotiating, it goes pretty well. … Negotiation is not as bad as we think."   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.

What makes a great question? Well, it depends on what you're trying to figure out. Are you interviewing someone for a job, or on TV? Are you asking someone on a date? Are you trying to learn something? Whatever it is, you probably have an answer, a solution or a direction in mind when you ask a question. That's great, but it's not always the path to the best outcome. Zoe Chance, author of Influence is Your Superpower and a professor at the Yale School of Management, prefers to ask a question that allows for answers she never could've imagined…Zoe tells the story of the women from a small village near Zambia who eradicated sexual slavery in their community by… building an electric fence around their corn crop?

I use a question as my guiding light throughout the day. Let me tell you what it is. 

The Magic Question is what can I do now to make something easier later? The smaller the something, the easier the solution. When you ask the magic question, you usually get a pretty quick win. When you get in the habit of asking that question and then noticing how even the simplest answers can positively impact your day and your time and your energy and your attitude, you want to keep asking!

What if you could become someone who makes people want to say "yes"? What if you could walk into a room and say "I've got an idea", and people would be wanting to say "yes" to your proposal before they even heard it? This is what influence can do. It can win hearts and can spark change and can get you what you want in your work life, at home and in your creative endeavors. And it 's what the guest of today's episode teaches. Yale behavioral scientist Dr. Zoe Chance is a writer, teacher, researcher and climate philanthropist obsessed with the topic of interpersonal influence. She earned her doctorate in behavioral science from Harvard and now teaches “Mastering Influence and Persuasion,” the most popular course at Yale School of Management. Her research has been published in top academic journals and covered in global media. Zoe speaks internationally for Fortune 500 firms and leading NGOs, and gave a popular TEDx talk, How to Make a Behavior Addictive. Her framework for behavior change is the foundation for Google's global food policy that helps over 100,000 people make healthier choices every day. In her bestselling book https://www.amazon.com/Influence-Your-Superpower-Science-Sparking-ebook/dp/B093YQP9ND/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?crid=3D7CKRMFK7ZQZ&keywords=Influence+Is+Your+Superpower%3A+The+Science+Of+Winning+Hearts%2C+Sparking+Change+And+Making+Good+Thigs+Happen&qid=1650988907&sprefix=influence+is+your+superpower+the+science+of+winning+hearts%2C+sparking+change+and+making+good+thigs+happen%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-1-fkmr0 (Influence Is Your Superpower: The Science Of Winning Hearts, Sparking Change And Making Good Thigs Happen), Zoe explains that influence does not actually work the way many of us expect and she shows us how to move past popular misconceptions, such as the idea that asking for more will make people dislike you. Today Zoe will share her strategies with us and here is why what she has to say matters profoundly: Zoe teaches smart, kind people to raise money for charity, get elected to political office, fund startups, start movements, save lives, find love, negotiate great deals and job offers, and even get along better with their kids. In other words, she helps people to use their superpower of influence as a force for good.

Who should swipe right on me?If your to-do list is longer than your last relationship and you suffer from decision fatigue, I'm the breath of fresh air you need. After one night with me you'll be able to figure out what matters to you, do those things with ease and then say “screw it” to the rest.What are my most attractive traits?Well, I am a genius for starters. I'm also easy. Seriously. I've figured out 13 principles to help you nail the things you care about and drop the rest. “Decide once” is one of them. Imagine deciding once on what you give at every wedding. No more scrolling registries. I'm the guest who always buys the bath towels, but you can be the one who always shows up with two silk pillowcases. Decision made! Now you can get on with your life. There's a little dorkiness in each of us. Here's what makes me dorky.I'm obsessed with size but not in the way you'd expect. I'm into small. Starting small is the key to being a Lazy Genius. As I like to say: “Small steps are easy. Easy steps are sustainable. Sustainable steps keep moving. Movement, not necessarily the finish line, is the new goal.”I like to be inspirational. Here is one of my favorite quotes to inspire you. “You have permission to let go, wonder, and go slow or to desire, hustle, and power through. Whatever you choose, make sure you're focused on what matters to you, not what matters to Instagram, your mother-in-law or the voice in your head saying you're not enough.”I'm a sucker for a great one-liner. Here's one of my favorites.“If a tidy house matters, tidy away. If a clean house makes you happy, spray your eucalyptus cleaner with gusto. But don't get tricked. Clean doesn't make you better, and messy doesn't make you more real.”What do I spend a lot of time thinking about?The Magic Question! I live by 13 principles, and this is one of them. I'm constantly asking, “What can I do now to make life easier later?” Do you want me to teach you to have an easier life? You don't need a dozen choices to prepare for later. Just one gets the ball rolling.What will we eat/drink on our first date?We are staying home, so we can really get to know each other. I'd have to make you my book mama's famous recipe, Change Your Life Chicken. It embodies what it means to be a Lazy Genius. It's a simple recipe with minimal clean up that gives me time to enjoy you rather than spend the day in the kitchen. Oh, and it's so dang tasty.If that first date goes well, I'll want to take you home to introduce you to you know who. Let me tell you about them.Kendra Adachi is my best friend as well as my book mama, and she's going to be your new best friend. She's the host of "The Lazy Genius Podcast" and has a kickass Instagram account (@thelazygenius) where you can find more tips for being a genius about what matters to you and lazy about what doesn't. She's a mom and wife and is totally rooting for you. What celebrity would sound best if you dated my audio version?Jenna Fischer (you know “Pam” from "The Office") is a huge fan of "The Lazy Genius Podcast" so definitely her. Plus, I think “Pam” would benefit from lazy-genius'ing Dunder-Mifflin's party planning committee. The DetailsPublisher - WaterBrookPages: 240Publication Date: August 11, 2020Genre: NF - Self-Help / NF - Religion

3 Magical Questions Asking ourselves questions is one of the best ways to unstick our minds. Mary Gaul, our productivity expert, shares a bit on a recent blog she wrote titled The Three Magical Questions. Using the book The Magic Question by Bart Baggett as her source and inspiration, Mary poses that the first magical question is; what's good and what's new? "[This question is] Presupposing that something is good and something new is always happening for us, right?. As entrepreneurs sometimes we get stuck in a rut and we think the same thing over and over and over again, and I'm not getting anywhere, you know I'm not feeling productive, or just feel stuck." In her musings, Mary chats on an experiment that Bart Baggett did for his book where participants had to answer this magical question each day for two weeks. Mary observed that the participants "had to really start looking and observing things that they wouldn't necessarily have looked at in their business so it really does help you just shift if you're feeling a little stuck what's good and what's new." Try it out, ask yourself "What's good and what's new? and see the possibilities come to light. Want help with your planning? Click to Connect To Mary

Welcome to A Counselors Journey To Private Practice. I'm your host, Juan.I will break down the key differences in understanding why people go in one direction versus why people went the other direction as it pertains to insurance vs. cash. I want you to walk away with some key nuggets, and I want you to feel comfortable taking whatever model feels best for you. Amount of PaperworkOne of the critical things that we want to talk about when it comes down to taking insurance vs. private pay is the amount of paperwork and time that goes into it. If you want to learn how to use and create your superbill so that you can work with more clients while providing support when it comes to managing insurance and mental health, then check out my YouTube video: Understanding Superbill For Counselors In Private Practice. Plus, there's a free superbill template that you can use – get it HERE.Private Pay ProcessThe private pay process is pretty straightforward. You have your typical intake documents just like you would do with the insurance base. The most significant difference is that you have a direct exchange. You have the exchange of $100. Then, there's the service. Again, there may be that secondary document, a superbill; it's a receipt with a couple of more details.  Paying With InsuranceSomeone with insurance is working with a patient, and they are doing all those same documents, but the big curveball comes in on that transaction of monies. Number one is identifying if that client coming in has some mental health coverage. You will know precisely what their copayment is. You're going to be taking a lot more information; of course, you're going to be making a diagnosis because we know that there has to be a diagnosis when we're billing insurance. With insurance, they're coming in, they're paying maybe a small fee, such as a copayment, and then from there, you are sending the claim off to their insurance company. That claim goes to the insurance company. There will be many details on that form, all the way from their demographics, to the diagnosis, to the date of service, to the place of service. Tune in as I dive even deeper into the private pay vs. insurance debate. Are you interested in receiving help with your counseling business?CLICK HEREThank you for listening.Please leave a wonderful review and subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode in your journey of private practice.I'm always looking for awesome counselors that are ready to share their story.
