Ashamnu, bagadnu, gazalnu… These words don't just confess our failings — they shake the Heavens and open the gates of return. Viduy is not only an admission; it is a bridge back to Hashem, a Divine gift that enables us to reconnect with our Creator. In this moving conversation, Rabbi Shlomo Landau speaks with renowned author and master storyteller Rabbi Yechiel Spero about his newest book, A Most Meaningful Viduy. With profound Torah sources, insights from Gedolim, and the unforgettable true stories for which he is known, Rabbi Spero reveals the depth, beauty, and power of Viduy — one of the highlights of Aseres Yimei Teshivah and Yom Kippur. Let your Viduy become a moment of truth — a moment of closeness, of connection, and of return.

Lee Salz is the founder and CEO of Sales Architects®, a globally recognized sales management strategist, bestselling author, and keynote speaker. Widely respected for challenging outdated sales methods, Lee equips organizations with powerful sales strategies, playbooks, and processes that drive explosive, profitable growth.His insights have helped hundreds of companies differentiate themselves and develop world-class salesforces. As the author of several bestsellers—including Sales Differentiation and his latest, The First Meeting Differentiator—Lee is on a mission to transform how companies approach sales conversations, starting with the very first meeting.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome back Lee Salz for an insightful conversation about the critical role of the first meeting in the sales journey.They explore what it means to sell from the heart—leading with authenticity, human connection, and emotional awareness. Lee explains why most sales professionals fail to differentiate themselves early on and how to fix it.From practical strategies to ask emotive questions, to why you should always end meetings with clear next steps, this episode is a goldmine of advice for sales professionals who want to build deeper trust, deliver meaningful value, and win more deals. KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthenticity wins — make people feel seen, heard, and valued.Meaningful value comes from understanding the client's emotional and strategic needs.Emotions drive decisions, but most sellers only use logic—learn how to tap into both.Differentiate in the first meeting by asking better questions and leading with empathy.Clarity matters — end every meeting with clear next steps and a follow-up.Language is powerful — say “investing time,” not “spending time.”HIGHLIGHT QUOTESPerson before prospect. Until you understand them as a person, you can't possibly have them as a prospect.Don't forget to say: ‘Thank you for investing time with me today.' Not spending time, nvesting it.People buy based on emotion and justify their decisions with logic—but nobody's doing it.The problem with your case is it's all facts, no heart—and the jury isn't buying it.

Jordan Peterson dropped something on Instagram that stopped me cold. "If you're not having to think about something big and stressful, then all you'll think about is something small and delusional." Hit me like a truck. Made me realize something about the difference between people who grow and people who stay stuck. Right now I'm thinking about building companies. Taking the company public. Speaking gigs. My kids turning eighteen soon. Real things. Big things. Stressful things. But they're actually happening. They matter. They push me forward. But when you don't have bigger challenges your brain fixates on this meaningless stuff. It treats minor inconveniences like major crises. That's the trap of comfort. When you remove real challenges from your life you don't get peace. You get obsessed with trivial problems. Here's what I learned about stress and pressure. They're not something to avoid. They're something to seek out. The only way to grow is through pressure. The only way to gain experience is through stress. Whatever you're dreaming about amplify it by two. Make it harder. Make it scarier. Put real pressure on yourself. That's how diamonds are made. Coal compressed under enormous pressure. You need that pressure to become who you're meant to be. Stop avoiding stress. Start seeking the right kind of stress. Big challenges. Real problems. Meaningful pressure that pulls you toward your potential.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN
A Canadian direct response strategist, designer, and author with over 25 years of experience. He champions donor-centered approaches that prioritize authenticity and emotional connection. His 2022 book, Creative Deviations, has inspired fundraisers worldwide to embrace creativity in storytelling and communication. John brings warmth, insight, and a human-first philosophy to every stage. Empowering fundraisers to build more meaningful donor relationships. Key Takeaways:Donor relationships thrive when leaders allow open, honest dialogue rooted in empathy. Vulnerability invites trust, making it easier for supporters to share openly and feel truly heard.Engagement comes not from polished presentations but from being human. Dropping the “professional bubble wrap” allows values-driven conversations that foster deeper bonds.Direct mail and appeals work best when they feel one-to-one, conversational, and emotionally compelling. Donors respond when a message feels like it was written just for them.Great fundraising relies on trusting experienced people and never losing vulnerability. Staying passionate and authentic ensures both donors and leaders stay connected to the deeper “why.” “We're being emotional. We're connecting with each other as humans. That's how we create engagement with donors. … Not by me showing up a suit and tie and in a big desk with gold stuff around me.” “The more mail looks personal and looks like I sent it to you, the better it performs all the time…” “We want donors feeling something. It's the emotions that make us take action. And it can be joy, it can be anger, it can be sadness, whatever it is.” - John Lepp Reach out to John Lepp at:LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/johnleppInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnlepp_aog/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgentsofGood/Twitter: https://twitter.com/agentsofgood Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In this episode of New Teacher Talk, we invite Keon Ruiter, a dedicated second-grade teacher with 18 years of experience at Maria Sanchez Elementary School, to share his time-tested approach to classroom management through relationship building. Keon reveals how positive connections with students and families create the foundation for everything else that happens in the classroom. From the moment students arrive, he demonstrates how simple door greetings can set the tone for the entire day while providing valuable insights into each child's emotional state. Discover the power of morning meetings as Keon walks us through his straightforward structure that builds classroom community and supports social-emotional learning. Learn how to create collaborative "respect agreements" with your students that cover student-to-student, student-to-teacher, teacher-to-student, and environment interactions, plus how to adapt these agreements for today's technology-rich classrooms. Keon shares practical family engagement strategies, including the beloved "all about me bag" activity that serves as a perfect first homework assignment while helping teachers learn about their students' interests and backgrounds. He also discusses effective communication techniques for building positive relationships with families, from dismissal-time interactions to using apps for sharing good news. The episode concludes with Keon's innovative "chance slip" system for positive reinforcement, showing how non-material rewards can motivate students while reinforcing classroom expectations. Whether you're a new teacher looking to establish strong classroom management from day one or a veteran educator seeking fresh relationship-building strategies, this episode offers practical, proven techniques that will transform your classroom community. Keon's approach proves that when students feel safe, supported, and valued, both learning and positive behavior naturally flourish. #ClassroomCommunity #RelationshipDrivenTeaching #PositiveClassroomManagemetn #EducationTips #Newteachertips #newteachers #newteachertalk #podcast
Keith Pepper has a handy reminder of his goal with Rough Draft Atlanta: a Post-It note on his computer that reads simply “meaningful, not massive.”That's the approach Keith has taken with Rough Draft Atlanta, a local news business focused on well-heeled areas of the Atlanta area that Keith has built after buying a clutch of community newspapers in 2020. Keith has mostly worked on the tech side of media his entire career, but he felt the pull to local news for the next phase of his career. We discuss how Rough Draft relies on direct mail of all things as a critical and reliable distribution channel, why print still far outpaces digital in monetization of local, and making tough choices in the balance of hard news and service journalism that often gets a bad wrap but is critical utility for local news.

Whilst we're seeing tons of innovation in some of the key employee processes, reward and recognition can often be put in the ‘too difficult' box. Recognition efforts often lack differentiation and are just vanilla or one-size-fits-all, and flexible benefits packages, meant to deliver choice, can too often feel overwhelming or unclear to employees. This week's guest Rachel Richards, Reward and People Operations Director at Virgin Group, joins Lucy to share how they have broken away from the usual script. She shares their new benefits arrangements and how they've made them feel more meaningful, clear, and truly relevant. In this episode you'll hear how to engage your employees in shaping reward and recognition, how to create benefits from a position of trust and provide an offering that feels inclusive, brand-aligned and genuinely compelling - without increasing spend. It's a conversation about trust, transparency, and the courage to break away from vanilla rewards to build something that reflects modern lives and makes employees proud.

Being present in a group of people can feel uncomfortable, and it can be intimidating–scary, even–to open up and be vulnerable with others. But as humans, we need meaningful connection. It is truly one of the most powerful tools we have for growth.In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague, tapping coach Melanie Fay. Together, we are hosting The Deep Reset Retreat this October, and today we're inviting you into a conversation about the power of being present and having meaningful connection with others–two things that make an in-person women's retreat such an incredible opportunity for change.We have all felt the effects of isolation over the last several years. While virtual tools expanded our world in many ways, the pandemic also caused us to lose touch with the benefits of in-person connection and the fabric of a community. Many of us continue to feel the impact of this disconnection today.Increasing connection in your daily life is important, but there is nothing quite like stepping into a dedicated space for growth and belonging. When you step away from your familiar roles and responsibilities, you create space to reset and refresh. You experience the safety that allows you to be fully present and find clarity.At The Deep Reset Retreat, a group of women will gather with intention—with the desire to heal, grow, and expand. In such a genuine space, you can feel the energy of support and connection. You can feel the permission to simply be yourself. And from that place, what you most need for your next chapter naturally comes forward. I can't wait for you to hear all about it in this episode.What you'll learn:How isolation brings opportunities to see where we're unfulfilled and make a changeThe power of newness and how a fresh space allows you to see yourself differentlyWhy a sense of belonging is essential for the empowerment that comes from being fully yourselfHow meaningful connection provides the safety and permission we need for growthHow your capacity for being present expands when you travel to a space dedicated to slowing downYou can read the full show notes here.About Melanie FayMelanie is a gifted EFT (Tapping) practitioner and healer who specializes in helping women release emotional wounds from the past to step boldly into their present.

Pursuing perfect “balance” in our work and personal lives may not actually be a reasonable goal. There will inevitably be times when either work or home needs more of your attention, and that's okay. Instead of striving for an elusive sense of balance, focusing on setting meaningful boundaries and prioritizing well-being can help lawyers move toward a healthier mindset. Molly Ranns talks with Robinjit Eagleson about her many years in legal practice and how she has navigated seasons of burnout, vicarious trauma, and other professional challenges to reconnect with her personal values and sense of purpose as an attorney. Robinjit Eagleson is Lawyer Services Program Director at State Bar of Michigan.

Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1816"You don't need more motivation, you need more meaning. Motivation is for those who want success. Discipline is for those who want meaning." - Lewis HowesLewis gets brutally honest about the years he spent chasing all the wrong things - money, relationships, success - all driven by fear rather than purpose. He had everything he thought he wanted, yet felt completely empty inside. The breakthrough came when he realized he was addicted to motivation instead of rooted in meaning. There's something deeply personal about the way he shares this journey, admitting how hollow those achievements felt when they weren't connected to something bigger than his ego.This isn't just another pep talk about finding your purpose. Lewis breaks down exactly how meaning transforms everything - from the boundaries you set to the energy you protect, from the work you create to the relationships you nurture. He walks you through the exact question that changed his life: "Who suffers if I stay small?" It's the kind of question that stops you in your tracks and forces you to see your potential through the lens of service rather than self-interest. When you shift from asking what you want from the world to what the world needs from you, everything changes.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Can small, meaningful interactions transform leadership and organizational success? Join us as we explore this fascinating question with Zach Mercurio, an authority in purposeful leadership and positive organizational psychology. Through Zach's compelling research, we uncover the concept of "mattering" in the workplace, a crucial element often overlooked amidst traditional rewards like pay raises and promotions. As employees grapple with feelings of invisibility, Zach introduces the idea of a "mattering deficit" and shares his insights on how leaders can create cultures where every team member feels valued and significant, elevating both well-being and performance.Our conversation with Zach also explores the profound impact of genuine care and connection in leadership. We address the distinction between caring about and caring for team members, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in leaders' actions. Unconscious signals can undermine employees' sense of mattering, and Zach provides practical strategies to ensure leaders' good intentions translate into meaningful daily practices. From understanding the role of "soft skills" to recognizing the subtle biases that can lead to complacency, we explore ways to build a supportive environment that fosters true belonging.Finally, we touch upon the critical role of noticing and affirming those we rely on at work. By moving beyond transactional interactions to transformational ones, leaders can create a more inclusive atmosphere. We share techniques like the green, yellow, red check-in to gauge emotional states and Carl Rogers' active listening principles, vital for building meaningful relationships. As we consider the intersection of AI and human connection, this episode promises a thought-provoking discussion on how recognizing and valuing each other can empower teams and, ultimately, transform organizations.What You'll Learn- The critical nuances between caring about and caring for your team- Shifting from transactional to transformational interactions- The significance of emotional connections in communication and decision-making- The paradox of leadership: empowering teams by letting go- The vital role of soft skills and the intersection of AI and human connectionPodcast Timestamps(00:03) – The Power of Mattering (in Leadership)(12:14) - The Importance of Caring for Others(18:36) – What It Truly Means to Notice Someone(27:03) –Small Gestures Can Build Deep Emotional Connections(38:03) – How to Create Psychological Safety(48:02) - Empowering Leadership Through Relinquishing Control(54:29) - Mattering in an AI WorldKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, The Power of Mattering, Maximizing Engagement, Enhancing Well-being, A Culture of Caring, Practicing Empathy, Soft Skills Drive Hard Results, Deep Emotional Connections, Effective Communication, Building Trust, The Perils of Command and Control, Increasing Human Connection, Relational Economy, Creativity, CEO Success
