It's great to have goals, but what's the point of having them if we never actually achieve them?Or maybe you do eventually get there, but wouldn't it be nice if we could get there faster and more efficiently?In this episode, I talk about SMART goals and give examples of how you can make your goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. I give examples from my own goals in life, and also relate it to the example of learning English as a goal.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast344Asian UncleWelcome to Asian Uncle, the unfiltered dive into Asia - from the back-alley brothels...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify➡️ Join the Free Mini Course - https://www.levelupenglish.school/mini⭐️ Join Level Up English - https://www.levelupenglish.school Become a member and get: Podcast Transcripts Private Podcast Group Classes Private Coaching And over 500 online lessons!

Episode 337 Picture us sitting down with our favorite beverage and notebooks, and I ask you: What do you want to focus on and not focus on before the clock strikes midnight on 1/1/2026? It's a question I asked myself before I recorded this episode, and this is what we're talking about today! I share a letter I wrote to myself on 12/31/24 with my goals and dreams for 2025. I talk about what is working in my life that I want to continue to focus on in 2025, a few things I want to start, and something I want to let go of and not focus on.  Throughout the episode, I check in with you to help you get clear on the progress you've made, the things you are doing that are working in your life, and what you want to spend your time focusing on and not focus on for the remainder of the year.  I have a correction:  I mentioned SMART goals and incorrectly used the acronym. The correct meaning is: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Thank you for allowing me to be human and make mistakes

In this episode of the Safety by Design, Nick sits down with Pam Tompkins, CUSP to discuss her recent article, "Safety by Design, Safety Management System Planning." This is the third installment of a six-part series where Pam delves into the critical role of planning in creating an effective safety management system (SMS). Pam explains why a proactive, systemic approach is essential for identifying and mitigating workplace hazards, moving beyond a reactive safety model. She emphasizes the importance of conducting a gap analysis to understand the current state of safety, using a systems-thinking approach to risk management, and setting clear, measurable objectives. The discussion also covers the use of leading indicators and key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress and ensure continuous improvement, all within the framework of the ANSI/ASSP Z10-2019 standard.   Key Takeaways:   A proactive "safety by design" approach is crucial to move beyond a reactive safety culture that waits for accidents to happen. Conducting a gap analysis is an essential first step to identify weaknesses in your current safety practices and align improvements with fieldwork. Leading indicators, such as safety observations and near-miss reporting, provide a more accurate picture of safety performance than lagging indicators like incident rates. A systems-thinking approach helps to understand how people, processes, and equipment interact, leading to more effective risk management. Setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) objectives is key to making safety goals actionable and accountable. The ANSI/ASSP Z10-2019 standard provides a comprehensive framework for building and maintaining a robust safety management system. Engaging employees at all levels in the safety planning process is vital for building a strong safety culture and ensuring that procedures are practical and effective.   Q&A:   Q: What is the main problem with a reactive approach to safety? A: A reactive approach to safety is insufficient because it waits for accidents to happen before taking action. In high-risk industries like electric power, the consequences of an incident can be catastrophic, making it too late to react after a fatality or serious injury has occurred. Q: Can you provide an example of an effective leading indicator? A: One effective leading indicator is near-miss reporting. A high level of participation in near-miss reporting is a positive sign that employees are engaged in the safety process and feel comfortable speaking up about potential hazards. This allows organizations to address issues before they lead to an incident. Q: What is "systems thinking" in the context of safety? A: Systems thinking is about looking at the bigger picture and recognizing that safety is influenced by the interaction of people, processes, and equipment. Instead of blaming an individual for a mistake, a systems-thinking approach looks for flaws in the system that may have contributed to the error, such as impractical procedures or a lack of resources.   #SafetyByDesign #UtilitySafety #SafetyManagementSystem #ProactiveSafety #LeadingIndicators #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyCulture   OSHA Power Electric Standards Course -  https://ip-institute.com/osha-electric-power-standards/ Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

Send us a textStruggling with setting effective therapy goals? Look no further than the SMART framework, a powerful approach that transforms vague client aspirations into concrete, achievable outcomes. Drawing a clever parallel between the 1960s TV show "Get Smart" and today's clinical practice, this episode unpacks everything therapists need to know about creating goals that actually work.The SMART method—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—provides the perfect structure for therapeutic progress. We explore how specificity eliminates confusion by answering the five W questions and breaking complex problems into manageable components. Rather than settling for "feel better," you'll learn to craft precise goals like "reduce panic attacks from daily to weekly" or "have one 30-minute conversation with my teenage daughter each week without raising my voice."Measurement proves crucial for tracking progress, whether through frequency counts, duration tracking, intensity ratings, standardized assessments, or behavioral observations. We discuss how achievable goals must challenge clients while remaining realistic given their current circumstances and resources. The relevance component ensures goals align with clients' values and address what brought them to therapy initially. Finally, time boundaries create urgency and natural evaluation points, from short-term goals that build momentum to long-term objectives representing major life changes.Whether you're a seasoned therapist or just starting your clinical journey, mastering the SMART framework will revolutionize how you approach goal-setting with clients.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Eleanor Stanley, a coach and communication specialist, about her inspiring work with Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS and the British Association of Retinal Screeners. Eleanor shared a powerful case study on using co-production and storytelling to increase attendance for diabetic eye screenings, especially among groups that are often harder to reach. We discussed the importance of authentic communication, the value of patient voices, and how even small-scale projects can drive real behavior change. Top 3 Takeaways: Co-production with clear roles is key: Involving patients directly in the creation of communication materials leads to more authentic and effective messaging, but it's crucial to define everyone's role and manage expectations, especially with limited resources. Storytelling drives behaviour change: Crafting a compelling narrative, rather than just sharing facts creates emotional engagement and helps audiences connect with the message on a deeper level. Measurable impact matters: Adding a patient story video to appointment reminders led to a 25% higher rebooking rate for diabetic eye screenings, demonstrating the real-world value of thoughtful communication interventions. Eleanor's Quote “You need to be very clear on your outcomes. You need to be measuring for results and all of that, but it's so much nicer for you if you are doing it from a place of authenticity and also it's so much more effective in what you can produce. It's just people, and it can sound scary…but actually just one really good conversation with someone can just completely change everything.” Book Recommendation Eleanor recommends “The Advice Trap” by Michael Bungay Stanier. She highlights its focus on humility, curiosity, and changing the way you lead through better listening. Resonance Programme Resonance Programme is a bespoke journey for leaders and communicators ready to rethink how they show up at work and beyond. It is professional development - led by Eleanor - for mid-career senior leaders and communicators working in health social impact. Click here for more info.

Tune in for actionable insights that will empower you to align your life's purpose with your professional ambitions.

Most banks, including potentially yours, are falling into a dangerous trap. They're announcing AI initiatives, holding innovation showcases, and talking about digital transformation, but when it comes to measurable business results, 70% have nothing to show for their investment. The winners, like JPMorgan Chase, Capital One, and a few others, aren't just lucky. They've decoded a specific approach to talent, execution, and measurement that lets them turn AI investments into strategic advantages. Meanwhile, most are wasting budgets with little to show for it beyond PowerPoint slides. Today on the Banking Transformed podcast, we're joined by Alexandra Mousavizadeh, CEO of Evident, who has just released the most comprehensive analysis of AI outcomes in banking. Her team tracked 173 AI use cases across 50 major banks, and the data reveals a stark divide emerging in our industry. Alexandra will reveal which banks are already using AI to steal retail customers, how they're measuring real ROI, and most importantly, what retail banking leaders need to do differently in the next 12 months to avoid being left behind. If you're responsible for retail banking strategy, customer acquisition, or digital transformation, the next 30 minutes could determine whether your bank thrives or merely survives the AI revolution.

Episode 277 is about the one thing standing between you and achieving your goals. Your Mind Set!   The only thing standing between you and your goal is you. I is the story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it. What I will share is how you can begin to change the narrative of the conversation going on in your mind—Your vision, along with action.  You can change where you are and who you want to be.   The standard you set, keeping in mind that you're competing against yourself, not others. You're on a journey, and it's a process of pursuing.   The question to think about today is, Is Your Mind Set? And what is it set on? Your mind set is one of the most crucial elements of success in any field: creating a winning mindset. It's not about luck. It's about how you think, how you approach challenges, and the internal narrative you're having every single day. So, what does it truly take to build a mindset that wins?    So, what exactly is a "winning mindset"? It's the mental foundation that allows you to see opportunity where others see obstacles. It's the engine that drives you forward, even when the path is difficult.   Let's break it down into four key elements.   Self-belief. The absolute foundation of a winning mindset. It's you against you, not others. You have to believe in your ability to succeed. Think about any great athlete or innovator. Before anyone else believed in them, they believed in themselves. It's about a quiet, steady confidence in your capabilities.   A practical way to build this is to celebrate your small wins. Did you finish a challenging task at work? A knowledge of it. Did you stick to your workout plan? Give yourself credit. Each small victory builds evidence that you are capable, strengthening your belief over time.   Resilience. Life will knock you down. You will face setbacks, failures, and criticism. That's a guarantee. A winning mindset isn't about avoiding failure; it's about bouncing back from it, stronger and wiser. Think of it like a muscle. Every time you face a challenge and push through, your resilience grows. Something I learned from Warren Buffett is that the more you learn, the more you earn.  Be open to learning along the way.    Clear goal-setting. A winner knows where they are going. Vague hopes, such as "I want to be successful," are not enough. A winning mindset requires vision with specific and actionable goals. You need a destination to aim for.   What is something you want to pursue? Better health, better relationships,  a better life.   Try the SMART goal framework: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Instead of "I want to get in shape," a winning goal is "I will run a 5k in three months by training three times a week." This clarity gives you a roadmap and turns a distant dream into a series of manageable steps.   Positive habits. Your daily actions shape your mindset. Winners build routines that support their goals. They don't rely on motivation alone, because motivation can fade. They rely on discipline and habits. Have the courage to take action.   Consider the habit of a positive morning routine. Instead of grabbing your phone and scrolling through social media, what if you spent the first 15 minutes meditating, journaling, or planning your day? This slight shift can set a positive and productive tone for everything that follows. S art small. Pick one habit you want to build—like reading for 10 minutes a day or writing down three things you're grateful for—and stick with it. Consistency is what solidifies a winning mindset.   Let's recap the four pillars: build unshakable self-belief by celebrating your wins. Develop resilience by learning from your setbacks. Set clear, specific goals to give yourself direction. A d cultivate positive habits that support your journey.   The power to change your life resides in your mind. The story you tell yourself becomes your reality.   So, here is your call to action. I encourage you to take one step today—just one. Pick one of the elements we talked about. Write down one clear, specific goal for this week. Maybe it's taking five minutes to list three past accomplishments you're proud of to build that self-belief. Don't wait for the "perfect" moment. The moment is now. Start building your winning mindset today, and watch how your world begins to change.     Until next time.

“If you're as good as you say you are, you should be able to keep your cost structure down, deliver the mission and the outcome, and still make a margin.” - Josh Gruenbaum, Commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service at the GSA The General Services Administration (GSA), responsible for Federal contracting, has been making DOGE-style headlines of their own this year. In late June, they sent a letter to a number of large consulting firms under contract, looking for opportunities to reduce spending and better understand the work that is underway. Josh Gruenbaum, who is overseeing the review, specifically requested “No consultant gobbledygook” in the responses. The GSA has signaled a mindset shift from time-and-materials to outcome based contracts, a dynamic that is likely to impact private sector consulting contracts and spending as well. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks into this shift and what it will require from all involved parties: How the government defines consulting services The multi-round outreach process being led by the Federal government and how firms are responding How to shift to outcome based agreements and the pressure of AI is likely to change the future of consulting Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Art of Supply on YouTube Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

n this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Mohib Yousufani, a senior partner at PwC who leads growth, turnaround, and digital transformation initiatives for Fortune 500 companies. Mohib brings a sharp focus on value creation, helping business leaders move beyond technology hype to deliver measurable outcomes through thoughtful digital strategies. Our conversation begins with a hard truth: many companies are confusing technology adoption with business outcomes. Mohib shares how organizations often rush to embrace the latest AI trends or automation tools without first identifying the core problems they need to solve. That misalignment, he explains, is why many digital transformation efforts stall or fail to scale beyond pilot mode. Mohib breaks down PwC's approach to digital transformation, which begins by translating enterprise ambition into actionable plans. We explore how aligning business unit goals, operating models, and leadership behavior is critical to successful implementation. He also offers a candid view of why so many projects suffer from process debt and legacy friction, often ignoring the people and culture dynamics that are central to lasting change. One of the most powerful parts of our discussion centers on how to evaluate ROI. Instead of focusing solely on cost savings, Mohib suggests expanding the lens to include revenue growth, time to market, risk mitigation, and strategic agility. He shares a compelling success story involving a CPG company that used AI and data science to optimize trade promotions and pricing, resulting in a three percent revenue lift and two percent margin expansion. We also talk about leadership's role in setting the tone. Culture, Mohib emphasizes, acts as a multiplier. Without executive alignment and clear behavioral modeling, even the most sophisticated tools won't deliver the promised value. If your organization is rethinking digital strategy, this episode is packed with insights to help you move from experimentation to real business impact. Are you building digital solutions that scale beyond buzzwords?

This episode delves into the crucial role of well-positioned goals in a developer's career. It asserts that goals provide clarity, perspective, and purpose, particularly focusing on clarity as a primary benefit. The discussion challenges common struggles with goal setting, including the often-overlooked importance of relevance (the 'R' in SMART goals), suggesting that an irrelevant goal, no matter how specific or measurable, is ultimately ineffective. The core message highlights that the purpose of a goal is to serve as a clarifying and prioritising tool, enabling you to make decisions about what to do and focus your efforts, rather than simply doing work that is handed to you. You will learn to start small and focus on desired outcomes or what you want to be true, accepting that a goal only needs to be "directionally correct" rather than perfect. The episode also provides a practical heuristic: to set goals by considering how your boss will evaluate your performance in the future. It emphasises the importance of setting goals that are challenging but sustainable, avoiding common pitfalls like overly abstract, too easy, or demoralisingly difficult goals, to prevent disengagement and burnout. Ultimately, consistent goal setting and reflection are presented as key drivers for long-term career success.Understand the fundamental importance of goals in providing clarity, perspective, and purpose in your career, especially for driven developers.Recognise that relevance is the most critical factor in goal setting; a goal's specificity or measurability is meaningless if it is not the right goal for you.Grasp that the primary function of a goal is to help you make decisions about what to do, acting as a clarifying, prioritising, and focusing tool for your efforts.Challenge the mindset that your goal as a software engineer is merely to complete assigned work; without personal goals, your career changes and skill development will be difficult.Learn to start small when setting goals and focus on desired outcomes or what you genuinely want to be true in your career.Embrace the concept of a "directionally correct" goal, understanding that a goal does not need to be perfect to guide you effectively towards a larger, long-term outcome.Utilise reflection after meeting a goal to assess whether it moved you closer to your long-term objectives, providing valuable steering for future goals.Employ a practical heuristic for goal setting: imagine how your boss would evaluate your performance in six months or a year, and set goals around those anticipated factors.Be proactive in discussing career growth and goal setting with your manager, framing it as an opportunity for them to direct your efforts towards organisational wins.Identify and avoid common pitfalls in goal setting, such as goals that are too abstract (not tractable), too easy (causing disengagement), or too difficult (leading to demoralisation).Strive for goals that offer a challenging but sustainable chance of success (e.g., around a 60% probability), requiring focus and the ability to say no, without leading to burnout.Understand that consistency in setting and pursuing goals is what ultimately defines long-term success, rather than the perfection of any single goal.

Send us a textWhat if your most valuable asset isn't listed anywhere on your balance sheet? As businesses struggle with burnout, retention, and ever-increasing demands, well-being strategist Anita Barbero offers a compelling vision for transforming workplace cultures through mindful, strategic wellness integration.Drawing from her extensive experience with iconic brands including ESPN, Disney, and Chewy, Barbero dismantles the misconception that well-being is merely a nice-to-have perk. "It needs to be embedded into the very fabric of the organization," she explains, presenting a business case that's impossible to ignore: companies investing in mental health initiatives see up to four times return through reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and lower healthcare costs.The magic happens when wellness isn't treated as a disconnected event but woven seamlessly into the corporate rhythm. Rather than disruptive hour-long sessions, Barbero advocates for "mindful minutes" before meetings, short guided breaks, and accessible resources that employees can engage with on their own terms. These micro-interventions, when practiced consistently, create measurable momentum.The pandemic marked a turning point, revealing what's possible when leaders show up with vulnerability and humanity. "Record numbers attended virtual well-being sessions," Barbero shares, "and executives appeared from their living rooms—not polished, but real." This crisis taught us that resilience isn't about pushing through; it's about pausing, connecting, and creating space for what's authentic.By blending science (evidence-based tools), spirit (purpose and connection), and strategy (sustainable practices), Barbero offers a holistic approach to workplace wellness that transcends trendy programs. In a workforce that's "tired, burned out, and craving something real," these practices aren't luxuries—they're necessities for organizations that want to thrive.Looking for practical strategies to transform your workplace culture?

Paul Stansik sits down with Shiv Narayanan—founder of How to SaaS and author of Exit-Ready Marketing—to break down what most private equity firms and portfolio companies get wrong about marketing. They explore how to make marketing a measurable, scalable lever for value creation, from diligence to exit. Shiv shares the frameworks he's used across countless engagements to tie marketing strategy, budget, and team structure to real business outcomes. If you're tired of vague brand goals and unaccountable spend—or you're just trying to figure out what “good marketing” looks like in a PE context—this episode gives you the language, metrics, and mindset to make marketing work like a growth function.

Looking to turn your big dreams into reality? You're not alone — and it might not be your willpower that's holding you back, but the way you set your goals. In this episode, host Gabe Howard welcomes Dr. Ross G. White, clinical psychologist, author of “The Tree That Bends,” and founder of Strive to Thrive, to demystify the SMART framework and help you build goals that stick. Together, Gabe and Dr. White unpack each letter of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-limited) to show you how to transform vague aspirations (“I want to get fit”) into crystal clear, trackable targets (“I will complete three 30-minute strength workouts each week for the next month”). You'll hear concrete examples, common pitfalls, and Dr. White's insider tips for aligning your goals with what truly matters in your life. Plus, stick around for a candid discussion on why the “stay hard,” grit-and-grind mentality might be selling you short — and how a flexible mind can be your secret weapon for thriving, not just surviving. Tune in and start setting goals you'll actually achieve! “The mere ordinary seems to be resistant to going viral. It's only the incredible and the extraordinary that goes viral. So we are skewed in terms of some of the reference points that we have around what we should be capable of, what we should be doing, what we should be achieving. And that leads us to be highly motivated to try to make an impact, to establish ourselves. But it also then can tip over into threat if we feel that we're falling short, or that people are judging us for not being enough, for not doing enough, for not contributing enough.” ~Dr. Ross White Our guest, Dr. Ross White, is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Queen's University Belfast and the founder of Strive2Thrive, a clinical psychology consultancy firm that provides interventions and training to help individuals and organizations thrive. He is an expert in supporting the mental well-being of adults working in high-performance settings. Ross is the author of several books, including “The Tree That Bends: How a flexible mind can help you thrive.” Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.

In today's episode, I sit down with John Adam, Chief Revenue Officer at Aimprosoft, for a direct conversation on what it really takes to implement AI inside a business. With AI hype dominating headlines, many companies are either rushing in without a clear plan or standing still out of fear of making the wrong move. John brings a grounded perspective, shaped by years of helping mid-sized firms and enterprise teams move beyond buzzwords and into real, measurable outcomes. We explore how Aimprosoft guides clients to focus on AI projects that are low in complexity but high in impact. These early wins are often the key to building internal buy-in and unlocking wider adoption across departments. John shares why modular implementation strategies are becoming more popular, especially for companies that want to avoid getting locked into any one vendor or platform. Our conversation goes beyond the technical. We discuss where AI tools actually deliver value and where they fall short. John highlights that AI performs well in rules-based, repetitive environments but still struggles with nuance, edge cases, and anything that requires emotional intelligence. He also outlines the importance of ethics, especially in regulated industries, and offers a pragmatic approach to mitigating bias, protecting data, and maintaining brand voice. With examples drawn from Aimprosoft's client work, including success stories involving scalable platform rebuilds and cost-saving test automation, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of how AI is being used today. John emphasizes that the right starting point is a good data strategy, supported by simple pilot projects that prove value early. If you're a leader trying to separate substance from noise in AI conversations, this episode offers an honest look at what works, what doesn't, and how to move forward without overcommitting. What's the smartest first step your team can take with AI right now? Let's find out.

In his message, Pastor Mark Butler continues the Word Faith series by teaching how faith can grow, strengthen, and be developed over time. Drawing from Romans 12 and Mark 11, he explains that God gives every believer a measure of faith, but it's our responsibility to feed it, use it, and increase it through the Word. Pastor Mark outlines the difference between head faith and heart faith, encouraging believers to locate where they are in their faith walk and build from there. He challenges the church to examine whether they are acting on their faith, standing in it consistently, and allowing it to produce results—especially in areas like healing, provision, and spiritual breakthrough.

Why Follow-Up Is a Leadership Practice with Doug C. Brown Let's face it—“follow-up” doesn't always have the best reputation. It can feel pushy, annoying, or just like one more thing on your to-do list. But what if follow-up wasn't about pestering people… and instead became one of the most powerful tools you have to show care, build trust, and lead with integrity? In this episode, Dr. Mike Patterson sits down with renowned sales expert Doug C. Brown to reframe everything you think you know about follow-up. Doug shares why this essential practice is about more than just closing a deal—it's about strengthening relationships, delivering value, and showing others that they matter. About the Episode: Doug C. Brown, CEO of CEO Sales Strategies, brings over 40 years of sales leadership to the table. He's worked with brands like Tony Robbins, CBS, and Procter & Gamble, built 35 businesses, and helped generate over $900 million in sales. But at the heart of his success is a simple principle: effective, personalized follow-up builds relationships—and relationships drive results. In this conversation, Doug explains why follow-up should be part of every leader's toolkit. Whether you're managing a team, building a business, or simply aiming to serve others better, consistent and thoughtful follow-up creates connection, increases retention, and unlocks new opportunities. You'll hear real-world stories about how follow-up has led to massive referrals, strengthened loyalty, and even closed six-figure deals. Doug also shares how poor follow-up costs companies thousands (if not millions) and reveals how you can avoid those losses with just a few intentional habits. Key Takeaways: Follow-Up = Leadership: It's not about pestering—it's about showing respect, accountability, and care. ABR: Always Be Building Relationships: Forget the old ABCs of sales—lasting relationships are what lead to lasting results. Why People Don't Buy Immediately: Emotional, logistical, and trust-related factors often delay purchases—follow-up bridges the gap. Multimodal Matters: Effective follow-up isn't just about phone calls—it's texts, emails, handwritten notes, and more. Three-a-Day Rule: Want to change your business? Follow up with just three people a day. That's 1,000+ meaningful connections a year. Whether you're a business leader, a coach, or a team builder—this episode will challenge you to rethink how you engage the people around you. If you want to build stronger relationships, increase trust, and lead with more integrity, it starts with simple, consistent follow-up.
