Curious if a group program is the right next step for your business? In this new episode on the Humane Marketing podcast, Sarah Santacroce talks with group program expert Kerry Dobson about the power of small, interactive groups. Together, they explore what truly defines a group program, the unique benefits of intimate settings, the facilitator's role, and the importance of understanding your “why” before getting started. If you're an entrepreneur seeking clarity and a more humane approach to group offerings, this conversation is for you. In this episode we talked about: The definition of a group program and how it compares to other offerings, such as online courses or memberships. The distinction between large-scale “guru” group programs (one-to-thousands) and smaller, more intimate groups, and the impact on transformation and participant connection. The unique value and magic that happens in smaller, intimate groups, especially regarding participant-to-participant connection and transformation. The facilitator's role in group programs and why it can be more powerful to host smaller groups rather than large ones. The business and impact considerations of running small versus large group programs, including the challenges and benefits of each model. The pitfalls of trying to emulate large-scale group models when starting out, and the importance of building impactful small groups first. The significance of understanding your “why” before creating a group program, and the questions to consider before deciding if a group program is right for you. A sneak preview of what we'll work on during the Collab Workshop with Kerry on July 2nd. If you'd like to join us go to humane.marketing/workshop Watch this episode on YouTube

What if your greatest impact as a leader begins after your "official" career ends? Joe Davis, former Managing Director and Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and author of "The Generous Leader: 7 Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone's Gain", joins Peter Winick to share insights from his extraordinary shift from consulting titan to impactful thought leader. Joe reveals how the disruptions of COVID-19 inspired him to write his book—not just as a professional calling card, but to encourage executives to lead with heartfelt generosity and empathy. He emphasizes that legacy leadership isn't measured by revenue alone but by meaningful connections, personal growth, and empowering others. This episode is for CEOs and senior leaders contemplating their own "Act Three." Joe discusses the challenges and opportunities when transitioning from a structured corporate role into thought leadership and advisory work. He highlights the importance of being selective and intentional about the roles you choose post-retirement, avoiding burnout, and keeping control over your time. Joe also candidly discusses how success is redefined after a corporate career. He measures impact differently now, valuing deep personal connections, mentoring opportunities, and moments spent with family—especially his grandchildren. If you're an executive thinking about your next meaningful chapter, listen in as Joe Davis shares hard-won wisdom and practical guidance on building your legacy beyond the boardroom. Three Key Takeaways: • Legacy Starts Now: True leadership legacy isn't shaped by quarterly earnings or titles—it's built through empathetic connections, generosity, and empowering others, starting today. • Choose Wisely Post-Retirement: After a high-powered career, saying "yes" to everything can quickly lead to burnout. Be selective; prioritize roles that align deeply with your purpose. • Redefine Success on Your Terms: Success beyond the C-suite isn't measured by traditional metrics. Meaningful impact emerges from mentoring, family time, and genuinely fulfilling activities. If Joe Davis's insights on moving from executive roles to impactful thought leadership resonated with you, check out our episode featuring Vaughn Sigmon. Vaughn shares how he successfully transitioned from corporate leadership at CarMax to launching his own thriving leadership development firm. Both episodes explore how intentionality, authenticity, and clear personal branding drive meaningful post-corporate careers.

In this episode of The Internal Comms Podcast, host Katie Macaulay sits down with alignment strategist and leadership coach Zora Artis to explore a crucial question: how can internal comms teams unite people around what matters most? It's no easy task, but Zora brings three decades of in-the-trenches experience. As CEO of Artis Advisory, co-founder of the Alignment People and a partner at Mirror Mirror Alignment, her work focuses on getting leaders and teams unstuck and helping organisations untangle competing priorities, find common ground and move forward with confidence. As Zora's research shows, only 13% of organisations achieve real alignment and she explains why diagnosing the real problem matters more than simply turning up the volume on messaging. Misalignment often hides in plain sight, masked by polite nods, surface-level agreement and subtle misunderstandings, she says. Meaningful, facilitated dialogue – not broadcast communication – is often the missing piece. She also introduces her ‘3C+' model and cohesion cycle: practical frameworks to help teams stay agile, find purpose and work as one. Along the way, Zora shares lessons from elite sport, psychology and her own leadership journey, where curiosity, courage and a little discomfort all play a role. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Use the hashtag #TheICPodcast to join the conversation, and thank you for listening.

Balanced with give and take, equal influence between partners, and a vibrant dance of loving responsiveness and caring attention.Marriage and Family Therapist and professor Dr. Jessica ChenFeng is calling us toward a more justice-oriented approach to relationships and to mental health and well-being, She invites us to open-hearted and empathic perspective taking, and seeking an integrated wholeness that incorporates all of who we are—highlighting the gift of mutuality in our most intimate relationships in marriage and family life.In this conversation with Jessica ChenFeng, we discuss:The importance of integrated and whole experience of ourselves—allowing racial, gender, and cultural identities to weave together in our sense of vocation and contribution to the worldThe importance of mutuality in relationships—but particularly in marriage and family systems.The ways emotional power flows in a relationship and impacts marriage and family dynamicsThe difference between partners focusing on meeting their individual needs and caring for the health of an intimate relationshipAnd she offers a guided practical exercise to help us lovingly notice and accept our inner experience with a heart open to justice, vulnerability, and the reminder that we are beloved in the eyes of God.Episode Highlights"Systems of power harm everyone—and to live life to the full, we have to see each other fully.""I believe our move toward life to the full requires us to see the world through a third-order lens: not just family systems, but the racial, gender, and societal systems they exist within.""Mutuality means not just expressing our needs but being willing to be changed by the needs of others.""If we're not attuned to the pleasant sensations in our bodies, we miss the invitations to thrive.""Cultural norms are not God-given realities; they are social constructs we are invited to discern and transform.""Knowledge without authentic relationship keeps us from truly seeing the embodied experiences of others."Helpful Links and ResourcesCheck out the programs in Marriage & Family Therapy at Fuller School of Psychology www.fuller.edu/school-of-psychology/Fuller Asian American Center aac.fuller.edu/Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy (SERT) OverviewCircle of Care Model ExplainedPositive Psychology and EmotionsJeanne Tsai's Research on Culture and EmotionAsian American Values Scale ReferenceRace and Trauma ResourcesJeanne Tsai's research on culture and emotion – Stanford SPARQJohn and Julie Gottman Relationship ResearchAsian American Values Scale – Paniagua & Yamada (Academic resource)Show NotesJessica ChenFeng shares her "yes and" identity as a second-generation Taiwanese American grounded in both math and creativity.How earthy aesthetics and connection to nature shape Jessica's professional and personal flourishing.The integration of Christian faith with clinical work at Fuller Seminary."Seeing systems of systems" — why thriving requires understanding how race, gender, and cultural forces shape individuals and families.Introduction to socio-emotional relationship therapy (SERT) and the value of mutuality in relationships.Defining mutuality: mutual attunement, mutual influence, mutual vulnerability, and mutual relational responsibility."Mutuality asks: Are both people tending to the relationship itself?"Practical signs of mutual and non-mutual relationships, including emotional attunement and willingness to be influenced.The importance of humility and relational awareness in building mutual relationships.The Circle of Care model: cultivating healthy relational dynamics through attunement and responsiveness.Discerning relational power dynamics in marriages, friendships, and work relationships."Thriving is an open heart, even on a stressful day."How emotional self-control in Asian American cultures is often rooted in relational ethics, not personal repression.The risk and gift of navigating cross-generational emotional communication in immigrant families.Differentiated selfhood: balancing authenticity with cultural respect in relational dynamics.Race, culture, and relational healing: why systems of privilege harm everyone."Love your neighbor as yourself" as an ethic for mutual flourishing across racial and cultural difference.Building trust by leaning into discomfort and courageous conversations.The need for embodied encounters with real people beyond theories of race and difference.Mindfulness practice: Jessica leads a guided exercise in attuning to pleasant sensations in the body.The transformational power of positive emotions and embodiment for creativity and resilience.The relational impact of systemic racialization and why "colorblindness" fails to honor real lived experience.Final reflections: How knowing who we are through systemic and relational lenses allows deeper thriving.Pam King's Key TakeawaysEach of us in the human family is a beloved child of God—and we need to continue to shape society to reflect this foundational truth.The path to meaning and fulfillment in a relationship starts with noticing and acknowledging the flow of emotional power, and its destination is mutuality and humilityThriving means incorporating all of who we are—our heritage and histories especially—into our love of ourselves, our love of others, and love of God.Our intimate relationships need care and attention as a third reality beyond our selves and our partners.And finally, thriving means opening our hearts each day, connecting our inner and relational realities, and learning to love patiently the multitudes we all contain.About Jessica ChenFengDr. Jessica ChenFeng is Associate Professor at the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary, and is also Director of the Asian American Well-being Collaboratory at Fuller's Asian American Center.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes“How can anyone remain interested in a religion which seems to have no concern with nine-tenths of his life?” — Dorothy Sayers1. God Is a Worker – And We Are Made in His ImageThe Bible opens with God working—creating the world (Genesis 1:1–2:2).As God's image bearers, we too are designed for creative, fruitful work.Work is not an afterthought or consequence of sin—it's part of our identity.2. God Made a World That Needs WorkGod created a good, but unfinished world—full of potential.Humans are commissioned to “fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28).We are called to develop culture, build communities, and steward creation.3. Work Has Inherent DignityWork existed before the fall—it is not a curse but a gift.All kinds of work (paid, unpaid, creative, routine) matter to God.Meaningful work is vital to human flourishing and reflects God's character.Sermon ApplicationDiscussion Questions:Describe your attitude towards your work (whether paid or unpaid, inside or outside the home). Are you positive? Negative? Motivated? Bored? Delighted? Frustrated?Can a hobby be considered work according to Genesis 1-2? Why or why not?Is it easy for you to connect your faith to your work? In what ways might knowing God's original design for work from Gen 1-2 help strengthen that connection?Why is work important for human dignity?Additional Resources by Timothy Keller by Vern PoythressQuestions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Doug Lesmerises joined Baskin and Phelps to explain comments made by Ryan Day about expanding automatic bids to the College Football Playoffs, why he made those comments, and how realistic it is to give the SEC and Big 10 more auto bids. He also talked about how NIL is changing the landscape of college football and if it's impacting prospects' draft stock.
Spies use psychology to recruit traitors and build deep connections. Here, former spy Julian Fisher reveals the authentic art of strategic influence.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1164What We Discuss with Julian Fisher:Authenticity is paradoxical in espionage. Spies must be genuine people to build real trust, yet they also lie about their identity. This contradiction requires exceptional self-awareness and emotional intelligence.Quality relationships beat quantity networking. Meaningful connections with targeted individuals who can help achieve specific goals are far more valuable than collecting hundreds of superficial contacts.Personality profiling reveals deeper insights. Understanding someone's background, struggles, and journey tells you more about who they really are than just their job title or surface-level information.Preparation and homework create connection. Researching someone's interests and referencing them naturally (like Julian's football gambit in Zimbabwe) can instantly shift dangerous situations into opportunities.Walk to important meetings for mental clarity. A 20-minute walk before crucial conversations clears mental baggage, stimulates creativity, and helps you arrive fully present and focused.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

What makes work meaningful, and how can leaders create that experience for their teams? Kevin is joined by Wes Adams and Tamara Myles, who state that their research shows nearly 50% of an employee's experience of meaning at work is tied to what their leaders do or fail to do. Meaningful work is the upstream factor that drives engagement, productivity, innovation, and the bottom-line results that organizations want. The conversation centers around the Three C's of Meaningful Work: Community – Creating authentic connections and a sense of belonging among team members, even in remote or hybrid work environments. Contribution – Helping employees see the impact of their work and making clear connections between daily tasks and larger organizational goals. Challenge – Supporting team members as they grow, learn, and take on meaningful tasks, balancing stretch assignments with strong support.

Title: The Supremacy of JesusSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 7:1-28Episode Overview:In this sermon based on Hebrews 7:1–28, we dive into one of the most theologically rich and complex passages in the Bible—and come out with one crystal-clear truth: Jesus is enough. Through ancient characters like Melchizedek and the Levitical priesthood, we see that even the most honored religious systems were only prototypes pointing to the real deal—Jesus Christ, our perfect and eternal High Priest.Key Highlights:• Opening Illustration – Sports Legends Fade, Jesus Doesn't:Just like legendary players for the Seattle Sounders eventually leave the field, every priest before Jesus was temporary. But where others retire or are replaced, Jesus remains—forever.• Melchizedek: Mysterious but Meaningful (vv. 1–10):Melchizedek, though a shadowy figure, is presented as greater even than Abraham. Why? Because his priesthood resembles Jesus'—timeless and superior.• The Old Priesthood Was Good, But Not Enough (vv. 11–24):The Levitical priesthood, deeply meaningful to Jewish believers, couldn't perfect anyone. Hebrews insists: what was once essential is now obsolete because Jesus is better.• Jesus: The True and Better Priest (vv. 11–24):Not from the tribe of Levi, but from Judah. Not a priest by human lineage, but by the power of an indestructible life. The law shows our sin, but Jesus offers salvation.• The Gospel in One Verse (v. 25):“He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him.” This isn't halfway help. This is forever salvation. Jesus doesn't drop you halfway across the canyon—He carries you the whole way.• Forever Interceding (vv. 25–28):Jesus isn't just our Savior in the past—He lives now, always making intercession for us. Your salvation is secure because your Priest never dies, never takes a break, never fails.Conclusion:Like Martin Luther, when the devil unrolls your scroll of sins, you can say: “Write over them all—The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all sin.”Hebrews 7 isn't just about ancient priests—it's about eternal hope. Jesus is the final and forever High Priest. No need to look back. No need to find someone else. Jesus is enough. Always has been. Always will be.Call to Action:This week, take time to reflect on where your spiritual confidence really lies. Is it in your performance, your past, or your routine? Or is it rooted in the once-for-all work of Jesus? Let Hebrews 7 lead you to rest in the better hope through which you can draw near to God. Don't just admire Jesus—trust Him. Trust Him completely. He's the one priest you'll never outgrow.Listen, reflect, and rest in the truth: Jesus, the perfect permanent priest, offers perfect and permanent salvation.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org
Most people start building an online presence with one goal in mind: to be seen. To grow an audience, promote their work, and build credibility.But over time, that purpose often shifts. For those who stick with it, who keep showing up with intention, an online presence can become something far more meaningful. It becomes a platform to advocate for the things that truly matter. In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Van Alstyne to talk about what it means to create content that goes beyond visibility. Jennifer is the owner of The Academic Designer LLC, and she empowers professors to feel confident showing up online through website design, social media, and bio writing. Because ultimately, your platform isn't just about you. It can be a powerful tool for change, if you choose to use it that way. This is a conversation about advocacy, community, and the courage it takes to keep showing up, with your values at the center. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Introduction (01:40) Showing up after hate comments and going viral (06:11) Reviewing Jennifer's past content (09:24) Developing your character as an entrepreneur (12:56) Separating personal challenges from business (16:34) Finding community online (20:58) Realizing you are making an impact via your content (24:38) Low engagement and small audience size (28:44) Changes amidst AI (31:39) Safety vs AI (36:24) The meaning behind your work (40:30) Actionable Takeaways Connect with Jennifer van Alstyne Website: https://theacademicdesigner.com/ Website: https://jennifervanalstyne.com/ Work with Jennifer: https://higheredpr.as.me/meet-with-jennifer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifervanalstyne/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jenvanalstyne.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@higheredpr Instagram: http://instagram.com/higheredpr YouTube: http://youtube.com/@higheredpr Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BCuleBpXeRcpko3t3AYC4?si=a2e570d559354141 Facebook: https://facebook.com/higheredpr X: http://x.com/higheredpr Connect with Cheryl Lau Website: https://cheryllau.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheryltheory Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheryltheory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryllau ANNOTATIONS - The Newsletter The edits that got cut from the podcast.

Isaiah 53 - The Sin-Bearing Messiah 53 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

There are moments when sitting down to do something meaningful feels physically uncomfortable, like your brain is actively protesting.
