In this episode of the Soul Inspiring Business Podcast, host Kara welcomes Carol Shen, founder of Start Culture Shift. Carol shares her expertise on how businesses of any size can create and improve their workplace culture through practical, actionable steps. With a background in industrial organizational psychology, Carol reveals her Culture Roadmap framework and explains why culture isn't just a set of beliefs—it's what people actually do in an organization.Episode Topics:Defining workplace culture and why it mattersThe three-step Culture Roadmap for embedding culture into strategyHow small businesses can implement culture initiatives without massive resourcesCreating feedback loops that build trust and improve performancePractical tools for setting clear cultural expectationsCarol's journey from corporate life to entrepreneurshipInsights:"Culture is not just a set of beliefs. It's what you do." This realization helps demystify culture and make it actionable.Small organizations can see cultural shifts in 3-6 months, while larger organizations may need more time and multi-level buy-in.Feedback is simply data that helps inform whether behaviors need to shift, removing the negative connotation.Quality trumps quantity when it comes to manager-employee check-ins; even 15 minutes can be effective with established trust.Cultural competencies can be developed using simple tools like AI prompts to generate starting points.The minimum cadence for one-on-one meetings should be every other week, with weekly being ideal.Highlights:00:00 Welcome and Intro 02:47 Understanding Work Culture 05:49 Defining Organizational Culture 08:17 Embedding Culture into Strategy 11:21 Performance Clarity and Competencies 12:44 Cultural Accountability and Leadership 14:29 Organizational Culture and Change Management 18:00 Feedback Mechanisms in Communication 21:03 Utilizing AI for Leadership Competencies 24:01 Translating Strategy into Operations 26:42 Building Trust in Remote Work Environments 29:38 Transitioning from Corporate to Entrepreneurship 30:10 Transition to Entrepreneurship 32:58 Entrepreneurship and Client Profiles 35:31 Improving Work Culture in Alternative Markets 38:12 Website Promotion and Cultural Improvement 39:19 Podcast episode ended Resources:FAST goal-setting framework: Frequently discussed, Ambitious, Specific, TransparentSMART goal-setting framework: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-boundAI tools like ChatGPT/Perplexity for generating competency frameworksSample culture statements and competency frameworks onlineCarol Shen, founder of Start Culture Shift, helps leaders build people-centered, high-performing cultures.

Send us a textWhy are so many girls with ADHD still being overlooked?In this episode of The Fully Mindful, I sit down with licensed psychologist Dr. Hila Pazner to explore the hidden side of ADHD—particularly in girls and young women. Drawing on her years of experience as a school psychologist and her current private practice where she specializes in assessing and working with children and adolescents with learning disabilities (such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia), Intellectual Disabilities, giftedness, ADHD, autism, and behavioral and social-emotional difficulties, Dr. Pazner shares how outdated systems, subtle masking behaviors, and gender bias contribute to underdiagnosis and missed opportunities for support.Together, we dive into:How ADHD presents differently in girls vs. boys—and why that mattersThe long-term consequences of undiagnosed ADHD in girlsWhy a diagnosis isn't just a label—it's a launchpad for understanding, support, and growthHow psychoeducational testing can uncover hidden learning differences, executive function challenges, and emotional strugglesThe hopeful evolution of school psychology toward strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming modelsReal talk on masking, stigma, and what parents can do when something “just feels off” with their childWhether you're a parent, educator, or someone with lived experience, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode of Meet the Farmers, host Ben Eagle sits down with Alex and Emily Crawley, co-directors of Grazing Management Limited, to explore the concept of conservation grazing and their journey starting their business. Based in the Forest of Dean, the Crawleys are using native breed cattle, sheep, and goats to deliver environmental benefits on land managed by charities, government agencies, and private owners.Neither Emily nor Alex began their careers in agriculture. Emily comes from a background in the charitable sector (and also as a pilates instructor!), while Alex transitioned from a military and diplomatic career into land management, later earning a Graduate Diploma in Agriculture and becoming a Nuffield Scholar.Together, they've built a contract grazing business that earned them the British Farming Awards' New Entrant accolade within just two years. This conversation dives into three core themes: the power of farming to support environmental goals, the realities of starting a land-based business without owning land, and the bold personal journeys that led them to agriculture.

Every entrepreneur dreams of the freedom that comes with success, yet Lloyd Reeb discovered a surprising paradox - the very prosperity he worked so hard to achieve was quietly eroding his freedom and purpose. Instead of letting money become his master, he made the counter-cultural choice to design a life where wealth serves his deeper values rather than dictating his choices. His journey reveals that true entrepreneurial freedom might look radically different than what we've been conditioned to pursue.  Lloyd shares the meaningful artifacts in his office that guide his decisions and keep him grounded in his purpose - from a crystal light bulb gift that reminds him of his unique contribution to a 300-year-old French Bible that represents God's unchanging wisdom to a wooden "Amazing Grace" plaque honoring William Wilberforce's 30-year commitment to ending the slave trade.Key Highlights:How carrying "long-term metrics" in his wallet for decades has helped Lloyd maintain focus on what truly mattersThe intentional decision to decouple wealth from lifestyle to break cycles of entitlementWhy complexity, comfort, and complacency are the three deadliest enemies to living a purpose-driven lifeApplying Charlie Munger's "inversion" approach to identify what would cause you to squander your lifeThe transformative practice of keeping a "Book of Days" to document God's work in and through your lifeWhy financial success creates freedom for mission rather than just lifestyle expansionPractical ways to declutter your life, reduce complexity, and create space for what matters mostQuotable Moments:"Build a successful business in the context of focusing on building a successful life.""It's an interesting question to ask: What level of lifestyle is in your family's best interest? That's different from how much can we afford.""What would I do if I wanted to squander the rest of my life?

TETZAVEHWhat You Wear, MattersThe entire world watched in astonishment at the confrontation between Trump and Zelensky over the weekend. Media reports indicated that one of the reasons for Trump's anger was the attire Zelensky wore to the White House. Instead of a suit and tie, as befitting a high-level diplomatic meeting, Zelensky arrived in the black shirt he has worn since the beginning of the war—a symbol of his ongoing battle rather than a step toward the peace agreement the American president sought.The question is: how important is clothing in world-changing disputes? More broadly, why do we invest so much energy in the garments we wear?Even in the Torah, in this week's Parsha we might find a similar curiosity. Why does Parshas Tetzaveh dedicate a lengthy chapter—43 pesukim, to instructions on designing the priestly garments? What is so important about clothing that it warrants such extensive detail?Moreover, the sages teach that throughout history, people have sought to lay their hands on the priestly garments. From Adam, to Yaakov and Esav, to Achasverosh—each adorned himself with these sacred garments. This naturally raises the question: what is the significance of donning these garments? Does wearing the priestly clothing turn Ahasuerus into a priest?

Philippians: Loving Much and Well

There are many kinds of prayer and many reasons for prayer, but most of the time, it seems that we pray when there is a need or crisis. Such prayers are appropriate and powerful! But is that all God had in mind when He gave us the gift of prayer? Was its sole purpose to serve as a spiritual fire extinguisher with the sign stating, “Break glass in case of emergency”?I decided to do some research by studying how the Apostle Paul prayed. Multiple times in the letters he wrote to the churches he planted, we find these wonderful prayers. These prayers are more than just for the obvious needs. They go much deeper. We have one of those prayers recorded in Philippians 1:9-11. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.This is more than simply asking God to “be with” them! Paul is praying that they would grow in their capacity to love. Let's look at four keywords in this prayer that we can bring into our own prayers – for ourselves and others.1.     Abound: “perissos” – meaning no limit, exceedingly, out of measure. It's in the present progressive tense, which means it is ongoing. Literally, Paul is saying, “may your love expand more and more and more. May you be more loving today than you were last year and may you be more loving a year from now than you are today.” For Paul, living a life characterized by love mattered more than anything. (1 Cor. 13) 2.     Knowledge: “epignosis” - full knowledge; not merely knowledge about something but knowledge born of personal encounter and involvementIf we want to love a person well, we must know them well. So many of our relationships are superficial. Even in families and among friends. We don't really know each other. Is it any wonder our love is so shallow?3.     Insight: aesthesis - moral discernment, especially in ethical mattersThe word has to do with making wise decisions in the heat of the moment. Have you ever felt pressured by someone who said, “If you love me, you'll do this”? Yet the reality is the most loving thing to do is to say no. "No, I'm not going to lie for you.” “I'm not going to cover for you.” “I'm not going to enable you or join in that behavior.” 4.     Discern: “dokimazo” – test, prove, scrutinizePaul is challenging these folks to be careful and not be fooled. It may not be an issue of right and wrong but good, better, and best. “Is this what's best?”I want to love well and love much, don't you? Let's start praying that very thing.  Text: Philippians 1:7-11 Originally recorded on June 22, 2008, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN
