Podcast appearances and mentions of matt townsend

I received this email from a friend: “I recently watched the podcast Follow Him with Hank Smith and John Bytheway…. Their guest presenter…was Dr. Matt Townsend, who is a therapist. Many of the things he was saying reminded me of you and what you have shared about being present and communicating.” I wasn't familiar with Dr. Townsend or the podcast, but I took the time to listen because I love Susan and know she cares about me. I'm no scholar so it was heartwarming and edifying to see how close I have come to what scholars have learned. I learned from hard experience and the tutoring of God, rather than in school. I was also privileged to work with a few hundred families and saw firsthand what I had learned as a mother. It's amazing what I have gotten right based on what Dr. Townsend shared. He used a word I was unfamiliar with but found worth sharing – attunement. Join me today as we explore what the word Attunement means and how it can be helpful in connecting with our children.

'Towner' and I have played a lot of rugby over the years across many different teams - Cheltenham Civil Service, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire Colts, Combined London Old Boys and of course Old Colfeians.

The response of individual banks and the wider banking industry to climate change is coming under increasingly intense scrutiny from policymakers, regulators, shareholders and other stakeholders, including non-governmental organisations and the general public.   Banks are facing a rapidly expanding body of laws, regulations and guidelines that require them to disclose detailed information about their efforts to decarbonise their operations and business models. In parallel, they are being challenged to verify and validate the sustainability of ‘green' financial products that they are developing to meet the needs of their customers around the world. As banks navigate this fast-evolving landscape, understanding and mitigating the risks of regulatory sanction and litigation relating to greenwashing and making potentially misleading claims has become a pressing priority for boards and senior management.   In the first in a series of podcasts exploring current and emerging developments shaping the future of banking, A&O partners Andrew Denny, head of the firm's Global Business and Human Rights Practice, and Matt Townsend, co-head of the International Environment, Climate and Regulatory Law Group, join Roger Lui, partner and co-head of the Global Bank Sector team, to discuss the most significant issues and trends that directors and senior executives should consider.

Fixing a starved marriage requires commitment, effort, and a willingness to change. The signs of a starved marriage can be easy to miss, but the impact of an unhappy relationship can be profound. By understanding the common causes of a starved marriage, such as a lack of communication, emotional disconnection, different expectations, and unmet needs, you can begin to take steps to improve your relationship. Matt Townsend's insights and strategies provide a roadmap for repairing a starved marriage. Emotional intelligence, communication skills, vulnerability, and empathy are all key factors in building a healthy and satisfying relationship. Practical tips and exercises, such as date nights, love languages, active listening, and gratitude, can help you put these principles into practice. It's important to remember that fixing a starved marriage is not easy, and it may require outside help such as therapy or counseling. Overcoming obstacles such as resistance to change, fear of vulnerability, and past hurts can be challenging, but with the right mindset and support, it is possible to create a happy and healthy relationship.   If you're interested in learning more about Matt Townsend and his work as a relationship coach and speaker, you can visit his website at https://matttownsend.com.

She had been in a terrible car accident that had left her physically and emotionally deformed. “She looked at me and said, ‘Now what am I going to be? I'm not an athlete. I don't think I'll ever get married. I don't look as pretty as I used to.'” Hear how Matt responded to her in this Hope Works presentation that explores how labels change the way we see ourselves and who each of us really is.

I want to encourage you to take more frequent phone breaks, and not just for the obvious reasons. What are the obvious reasons? The obvious reasons are that it blocks out opportunities to interact and deepen your connection. It takes the place of exchanges you might naturally fall into together. As Dr. Matt Townsend recently mentioned on Instagram, (& no the irony there is not lost on me) “Stop distracting yourself to death. You are sitting on the couch next to the most important person in your life and you're distracted by the phone or the game.” A slightly less obvious reason is that it distracts you from feelings you need to dive into, process, learn from and express. If you go for the immediate dopamine hit and numb your feelings on TikTok instead of sitting down with your journal and free writing: “Why did I get so triggered and suddenly get sarcastic when he said he didn't want to go to my parents' for dinner?” You are denying yourself the vital messages for growth and self support that your feelings are straining and sweating to transmit to you, and the next time the trigger is applied, the sarcasm will shoot out again, possibly resulting in a relationship battering knock down drag out. And an even less obvious and more pervasive reason is... Message me here for questions and occasional advice. Join us in the free Facebook group for weekly trainings and resources.

Welcome to another episode of 'Stories From...' where I share anecdotes, stories and interesting tidbits from my journey across the country on The Great Rugger Run.   This week there are stories from Old Colfeians where I speak with Matt Townsend about the club's most famous day, Steve Hughes about the responsibilities of being fines master, Luke Walden about the Music Nights we used to enjoy and new Chairman Bill Blythe about his hopes for the season.   https://amateurrugbypodcast.com #rugbypodcast #amateurrugby   PODCAST KIT Everything I use to create, edit and produce this podcast can be found on my Creating a Podcast (https://www.amateurrugbypodcast.com/creating-a-podcast/) page.   SUPPORT If you would like to support the podcast in some way then there are plenty of options for you on my Support the Podcast (https://www.amateurrugbypodcast.com/support/) page.

Join us for this week's episode of the Coach Code Podcast with Matt Townsend as we talk about life, business, and whatever else we dive into.  Over the last few decades, Matt has dedicated his life to the study of communication and interpersonal relationships.  Matt worked as a lead presenter for the industry leader, Franklin Covey, for many years. About 20 years ago he founded the Townsend Relationship Center where he has been able to share his expertise on relationships, communication, anxiety, and conflict resolution with thousands of clients ranging from individuals, married couples, and parents, to large corporations such as CNN, Cox Communications, and Lockheed Martin.    Dr. Matt earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in Communication, a second master's degree in Human Development, and a doctoral degree (PhD) in Human Development. He is a weekly contributor to KSL TV's show “Studio 5 with Brooke Walker”. Matt's book, Starved Stuff: The 7 Basic Needs of Healthy Relationships, is a popular pick among those searching for better relationship skills. He also has many online programs available on marriage, dealing with anxiety, and parenting.   Matt is active in his church and community and enjoys swimming, playing tennis, and spending time with his wife, Mardi of 31 years, and his 6 children, 4 in-law children, and 3 grandchildren.  Show Notes: [1:24] Matt's story Let us have a sneak peek of Matt's story and how he got into his passion of using channeling proper communication to resolve conflicts in relationships. [7:30] Lessons learned while working with Stephen Covey Matt shares his unforgettable encounter with Stephen and how he emulated real, caring, loving, and get-real conversations he had with it. [11:34] How to resolve arguments There is a cool trick that Matt uses in order to resolve any discussion or argument. But the first thing is always the same - don't judge. [13:22] Where do most people struggle with their communication The root of all struggles in communication is when people just talk and do not listen. They do not know how to sit in the space and suspend. [15:44] The U-Shape Model in communication Matt discusses the evolution of conversation from politeness into conflict if we are unable to recognize the regression that's taking place and just simply react to it. [18:19] The 3 vital signs in communication There are 3 signs that a conversation is going sideways and Matt discusses how can we be conscious when these signs occur. [24:28] Where trust can be built People can't maintain negative emotions while they're venting out and they see that we are making a conscious effort to understand them. If we can hold the space for them, that's where trust is built. [26:23] Getting our emotions into neutral The first step is to recognize your emotion and detect what your intent is. Emotions are designed to move you. [30:25] Figuring out your emotional script Matt discussed an example of where we can hijack our old emotional script and what can you do at the present to figure out what our new emotional script could be. [37:14] The 4 roles in a conversation There are 4 roles in a conversation: the mover, the follower, the opposer, and the bystander. Conflicts arise because of disputes between the mover and the opposer but the powerful thing is that a bystander can resolve the conflict by offering new information. [45:30] Becoming effective leaders Matt shows that for any leader to be able to handle the crazy flow of life, you've got to know your strengths. No one can compete with you when you master your top 6 strengths because you've put your fingerprint on them.

Not too long ago I had a listener reach out and ask if I'd do an episode about navigating divorce. Her parents had just announced theirs, and this listener found herself lost in this new space. I promised her I would. I promised because there were so many times early in my parents' divorce, and even now, 18 years later, when I wished I would have been able to hear someone else's story, when I wanted to feel less alone, when I needed help better understanding and better navigating what was going on. Rather than just share my personal experience and what I've learned over the last nearly two decades, I've invited my friend Dr. Matt Townsend to help guide this discussion and offer his expert advice for not just navigating divorce as the child or parent when it happens, but also for navigating our relationships before it even becomes a possibility. So today, this episode is for that listener, and hopefully it helps many others.For more than two decades, Dr. Matt Townsend has been energizing and educating audiences with his unique lessons on life, love and leadership.

Emotional safety is the security that I can share what is in my heart with my partner. Every relationship needs that, but perhaps none more than in the relationship of special needs parents. So much is asked of us, and there is often grief to work through. Being able to feel safe in sharing the deepest, darkest places of our hearts is critical. In our conversation, Dr. Matt Townsend teaches us about emotional safety, and how to improve it if your partner is prone to shutting down and detaching when emotions are high. He explains the why of detachment and how we can respectfully help our spouse feel emotionally safe with us, and in return give us the emotional safety we long for.

You may have heard of Matt Townsend, but in case you haven’t, he is the author of “Starved Stuff: Feeding the 7 Basic Needs of Healthy Relationships,” as well as the person who helps train Keller Williams agents. He has even worked with fellow author Steven Covey, who penned “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” As a Realtor, I sell houses while also acting as a psychologist, therapist, or counselor. We have to be trained and equipped with how to work with people, and the model I’m about to share with you helps with this. No matter who you are, you interact with people; we all have some type of relationship, whether it be a spouse, partner, child, or co-worker. This model, although powerful, is also very simple. When somebody gives off a vital sign with heightened emotions of anger, sadness, or embarrassment, you can detect it. After you detect these emotions, there are two things you can do: run from it or attack it and smother it. Matt says that the first thing you should do is mention that they seem embarrassed, or angry, and then let them speak. You acknowledge it and then unpack and explore it—seek to understand what’s going on. Let them tell you their story and during that time don’t object or get argumentative. Also, don’t deny it. Instead, find out why that emotion exists and then paraphrase it back to them. All things lead to what Townsend calls “Starved Stuff,” which are the issues that are the real issues. He says that it usually comes down to an issue of safety, trust, respect, validation, encouragement, or dedication. This is where we want to focus because this is where the issue is. “In real estate, one of the most important lessons that I’ve learned is that people want to be understood.” As you’re talking through this, if the emotions do get heightened again, you start back over. Once you get past the “Starved Stuff,” you can move on to lifting the conversation. This is where you apologize, accept, affirm, acknowledge, act, or adapt and retell the story. You will then get to change the problem and the relationship gets pulled back together and people begin to feel understood again. In real estate, one of the most important lessons that I’ve learned is that people want to be understood. Whether a person is upset or argumentative, they want someone to dig down and genuinely listen. I think what I love about this model is that it gives you a good template for all of your relationships, whether they’re personal or professional. You will be able to feel those heightened emotions, get the vital signs that someone is angry, embarrassed, hurt, etc., and then explore them so that the person is able to open up and you can understand why they feel this way. Then, you can lift the conversation and lift them up. If you want to learn more about this and the “Starved Stuff,” you should definitely read Townsend’s book “Starved Stuff: Feeding the 7 Basic Needs of Healthy Relationships.” If you have any questions for me, please feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

When in your life were you trained how to communicate with the people who matter most to you?   Many of us have never received this kind of training or received it far too late in life – yet, almost all of us have experienced some kind of conflict in our long-term relationships (whether that be with a significant other, business partner, boss, or employee).   That's why we're sharing this conversation with Dr. Matt Townsend, author, radio host, and relationship expert, who will teach you how to transform the relationships that matter most to you by cutting through the smoke to solve the real problems at hand.     The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: What's one relationship that really matters to you – and, if you're honest with yourself, is hurting?   Are you showing up in those interactions genuinely caring about the other person first, before considering your agenda?   Based on that answer, what is the ONE thing you can do that will allow you to show that person that you care, and make them feel cared for?   In this episode you will learn... [5:30] How you can start training in communication skills for relationships.

[16:30] Why it's important to show up in your relationships with no agenda, prepared to be there and nowhere else (especially on a S.T.A.R.V.E.D. issue).

Jermane Bond (@JermaneBond) is a Senior Fellow at the National Collaborative for Health Equity where he leads efforts to address the determinants of health for boys and men of color. His research interests include men's preconception health and reproductive life planning, paternal involvement in pregnancy outcomes and racial and ethnic disparities in infant mortality. With funding from the Office of Minority Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Bond formed the Commission on Paternal Involvement in Pregnancy Outcomes, (a transdisciplinary working group of social scientist and public health professionals) to raise awareness for the importance of paternal involvement in pregnancy and family health by reframing debates, informing research, policy and practice to support greater involvement of expectant fathers in pregnancy. Dr. Bond is a member of the American Public Health Association, the American College of Epidemiology and serves on several editorial boards, including the Maternal and Child Health Journal and the American Journal of Public Health. He received a B.A. from Morehouse College, and a Ph.D. from Howard University. In this episode, we discussed: Health disparities within the black community. Specific health disparities affecting black men. How health technology can play a vital role in creating better outcomes for black men. Resources: National Collaborative for Health Equity Lagging Life Expectancy for Black Men: A Public Health Imperative by Jermane Bond  and Allen A. Herman (American Journal of Public Health, 2016) The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson ---- This Week's News The Federal Trade Commission plans to crack down on celebrity product endorsements on social media. The agency thinks the endorsements aren't transparent enough because they often don't contain an explicit statement that the endorsement is actually a paid advertisement. So this will affect celebrities like DJ Khaled who promotes Ciroc vodka on Snapchat and other celebrities who earn revenue from sponsorships in exchange for giving products their stamp of approval.   The FTC has brought lawsuits against several companies that secure product endorsements from celebrities.   But marketing executives think this is an overreach, saying the these celebrity influencers recognize the trust their audiences place in them and would never violate that rapport by endorsing products they don't actually believe in.   Experts are advising celebrity endorsers to know include hashtags in their sponsored posts, with #ad being the preferred indicator, although these hashtags often get jumbled up with a bunch of other hashtags.   Sarah Frier and Matt Townsend at Bloomberg have more.   ----   The U.S. is concerned that voting machines will be hacked on election day. Remember that crazy 2000 election that was ultimately decided by the Supreme Court? Well, picture that scenario—except no one even knows where to start counting—since the entire system was hacked.   The problem is that with more than 9,000 voting districts in the U.S., it's quite a task to monitor all those. So the Obama administration is considering whether to designate voting machines as “critical infrastructure”.   Check out Julie Hirschfeld Davis' Coverage in The New York Times.   ----   So if you're in or around a court house, you may want to watch what you say—even if you're talking to your own lawyer. Apparently, the FBI placed bugs in and around the San Mateo County courthouse while they were investigating an alleged foreclosed homes bid-rigging scheme. The FBI started out sending under-cover agents with wires, but apparently the agents fell out of favor with the suspects who began sharing less information with the undercover agents. So the FBI decided to try and capture the suspects' conversations at the courthouse. But they went ahead and captured EVERYONE'S conversations—including people discussing their sex lives.   In any case, US District Judge Charles Breyer issued an order last week suppressing over 200 hours of audio recordings because he found the suspects had a legit expectation of privacy and so the surveillance tactic violated the Fourth Amendment. But technically, the FBI can keep placing bugs outside courthouses, since another federal judge in San Mateo issued the exact opposite ruling in another case—saying the suspects didn't adequately protect their own privacy.   Joe Mullen covers this story over at Ars Technica.   ----   Privacy Shield went into effect last week. That's the privacy deal worked out between the U.S. and European Union after lawyer and PhD student Max Schrems — who is Austrian — successfully challenged Facebook's privacy protection practices. Schrems filed 22 complaints against Facebook in Ireland, which ultimately led the EU to strike down the so called Safe Harbor—which for 16 years had governed transatlantic data exchanges between European citizens and servers in the United States. After the Safe Harbor was struck down, tech companies had to make individual agreements, which proved cumbersome, while the U.S. and E.U negotiated an alternative arrangement that would protect Europeans' private data from the prying eyes of the National Security Agency.   The result is the Privacy Shield. But 28-year-old Schrems thinks Privacy Shield still isn't good enough.   Adam Satariano and Stephanie Bodoni covered this for Bloomberg.   ----   In a letter to Congress, the U.S. Copyright Office weighed in on the Federal Communications Commission's proposed rules to open up set-top boxes to competition. The goal is to allow consumers to choose which set-top box they access content from, instead of being stuck with the box that they lease from their cable provider for an average of $231 per year. The U.S. Copyright Office wrote that the FCC's proposed rules would give rise to widespread copyright infringement.   The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Mitch Stolz argues that the Copyright Office's legal analysis is full of holes, mainly because it fails to account for the fact that copyright law doesn't confer any rights with respect to how the technology that consumers use to access the actual, copyrighted material, is designed.   Check out Mitch Stolz' analysis at EFF and John Bergmayer analysis at Public Knowledge.   ----   The Justice Department has decided it will not update the consent decrees performing rights organizations ASCAP and BMI entered into back in 1941. Those agreements set the standard for how media outlets would pay royalties. But, of course, the Internet wasn't around then, and ASCAP and BMI had sought to have the consent decrees updated for the digital age. The Department of Justice declined and actually are adding a rule requiring ASCAP and BMI to get clearance from all of the artists who contributed to a song, and pay each of them their share of royalties. This is known as 100% licensing.   ASCAP and BMI, of course, were not happy with the decision, arguing that it would lead to musicians being paid less for their works.   Ben Sisario has the full story and analysis in the New York Times.   ---   Finally, a former technician a the FBI has pled guilty to charges that he spied for the Chinese government, providing sensitive intelligence to Chinese officials, in exchange for travel reimbursements, cash and even prostitutes. Kun Shan Chun, a Chinese-born naturalized U.S. citizen faces 10 years in prison.   Camila Domonoske covered this story for NPR.

The first time you see Matt Townsend live you are impressed with his good looks and charming, well bred manner. He, and his band when they are backing him, appear organized and also good looking as they efficiently go about the business of setting up and prepping for the show. It's a feeling of assurance that these are pros who will deliver an enjoyable show. Then they're into the first song and you're totally unprepared to be mesmerized by the music - every beat, tone and word delivered straight into you. It's hard to grasp how this cat who looks so young can tell stories of your own longings, pains, and desires. There is a soulful depth and a modern verve. Townsend's Folk-Rock-Americana music is a gift for the ears and soul. The Vermont native moved to Asheville, North Carolina, a few years ago and formed his band The Wonder Of The World. In the last two years his career has been on an upward trajectory and he is indeed poised to break out into the larger arenas. Join me on this show and meet Matt Townsend. We'll be playing his music, but take Madame Perry's advide and get it now.
