You won't find this KPI on any spreadsheet—but it might be the one thing that transforms your entire property management business.In today's episode of the Multifamily Collective, I'm pulling back the curtain on something crucial. Something that doesn't show up in your NOI calculations, your occupancy charts, or your lead conversion reports.We're talking about the human side of multifamily.When you reduce property management to pure transactions, you lose what really matters—connection. But what happens when you shift from extraction to contribution?Imagine two identical properties. Same amenities. Same rent rolls. Same zip code. The only difference? One is driven by transactional leadership. The other is driven by love, by care, and by purpose.Which one wins? Easy answer.In this video, you'll hear:Why NOI is just a trailing indicatorHow emotional leadership builds gravity for residents and team membersThe three real metrics every property leader should trackWhat it means to lead a mission—not a spreadsheetYour NOI?

Are you enjoying your friendships? Are you able to be present with your people and soak up your time together?So often, people focus on what's missing in their friendships. They have this idea of what “peak” friendship might look like, which gets in the way of being grateful for what is there. I'm here to remind you that there is a stark contrast between HAVING connections and ENJOYING them. And this isn't just regarding our closest friends: how grateful are you for the acquaintance at the coffee shop? For your child's teacher, your hair stylist, or the people you work with?Today I talk about what might be getting in the way of your enjoyment, and I offer tips on how to be more present and happy while with friends.In this episode you'll hear about:Mental chatter and the fear of being “too much” or “not worthy,” and how this limits enjoyment in our friendshipsFriendship baggage, anxiety about the future, and working on receiving connection, even just small gestures from community membersThe present distractions that get in the way of enjoying friendships (mostly, it's the phones)The idea of “storing up connection for later” and multitasking during friend time – and why this doesn't always workResources & LinksLike what you hear?

Most international schools make it part of their mission to nurture global citizens who are in service to their community. Like all big, worthy goals, this needs lots of planning, implementation support, and accountability to determine if the school is on track.The usual questions come into play: who, what, why, etc. -- with the "how" being most prominent in our interview with LeeAnne Lavender, who helps schools with their service learning and global citizenship development efforts.LeeAnne is a consultant, coach and facilitator for international educators. She partners with schools and teachers to create learning experiences that have impact and lead to deep learning and service as action. LeeAnne is also the Service Learning Program Coordinator for the Association of International Schools in Africa. You can learn more on her website. Our Guiding Questions were, “What is service learning? What is global citizenship? What are some ways to integrate both into the culture of a school?”Here are a few of the topics covered in this episode:Digital storytelling: a powerful tool for student agency and creativityUsing the design cycle for integration Leveraging Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and differentiationService learning as experiential learning to support life skill developmentDeep listening: connect with community membersThe intersectionality of service learning, global citizenship, and  other initiativesResources mentioned in the episode:LeeAnne's WebsiteLeeAnne on LinkedInLeeAnnes' Blog Post on students advocating for wildlife conservationThoughtbox EducationThe Disengaged TeenFuture Learning Design Podcast - episode about The Disengaged TeenZoe Weil Book & Webinar entitled “The World Becomes What We Teach”The show was recorded on January 13, 2025.Categories: School Life | Curriculum | School MissionsRemember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

She is best known as Miss J Sews, offering tips for setting trends and relying less on fast fashion. Her mom taught her to sew and they started off on dolly, but when she realized that she could make clothes that actually fit instead of always having to rely on shops, that was amazing. Lisa WoolforkLisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture. Her teaching and research explore Black women writers, Black identity, trauma theory, and American slavery. She is the founder of Black Women Stitch, the sewing group where Black lives matter. She is also the host/producer of Stitch Please, a weekly audio podcast that centers on Black women, girls, and femmes in sewing.

She believes in the power of creative liberation. Insights from this episode:Extending the life of a garment to last beyond the trendsPattern cutting: what it is, and making something fit well from the inside outHow Janet's fashion came to be the talk of her fellow jury membersThe inspiration behind the London Reign pattern, from the design to the nameThe importance of crafting as self-care Quotes from the show:“I'm kind of bootylicious in my figure, and they don't cater for that in the shops. But I can cater to myself if I sew, and that became the key thing. The feeling of making a thing that fits is unmatched.” – Janet Hensell, Stitch Please, Episode #191“It really is this vicious circle of consumption and discarding. Buy it, wear it, throw it away. And this is another thing that sewing can reduce. It is a form of sustainability because the pieces that you end up making, you tend to hold onto them longer.” – Lisa Woolfork, Stitch Please, Episode #191“Crafting is self-care. Whether you're a carpenter, a seamstress, a dancer, whatever you do for your mental health and fun, it is self-care. For me that was sewing.” – Janet Hensell, Stitch Please, Episode #191“Know what fits your lifestyle and fits your body. And when I say fit, know to fit your garments to fit you. Even if the garment is made from a cheaper fabric, once it fits you, people won't even notice.” – Janet Hensell, Stitch Please, Episode #191 Resources Mentioned:Stitch Please Podcast episode: Pattern Cutting Deconstructed with Monisola OmotosoLondon Reign pattern and discount code: STITCHPLEASE35 valid on the London Reign dress pattern for 35% off.

Have you ever thought about the value of your time? How much it can impact others, and how prioritizing it reflects how we prioritize people? Matt Alderton is known for his expertise in building referral relationships and networking strategies. Matt shares his insights on the power of giving time to others, the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people, and the success he has achieved through his unique approach to business networking.  Referral relationships play a pivotal role in business growth, and Matt understands the significance of building these partnerships, especially for startups. He shares his blueprint for creating a 6-figure referral marketing plan and explains how implementing this system with a team can generate a 7-figure return from networking alone. Whether you're an early entrepreneur or an established business owner, Matt's framework provides invaluable guidance in training your sales team and taking your business to new heights.  But networking isn't just about numbers and transactions for Matt. It's about creating a community where individuals can connect personally, forging meaningful relationships beyond business. That is why BX Networking stands out from other traditional networking groups. Matt's vision is to provide a space where members can participate as little or as much as they want, attend different locations, and build referral partnerships outside the room.  Join Vinay Koshy as he dives deep into the mind of Matt Alderton, a leader who understands the true essence of time, the magic of building referral relationships, and the power of surrounding oneself with the right people. Matt Alderton is a passionate entrepreneur and business coach who dedicated his career to helping people develop and achieve their fullest potential. With over 15 years of experience managing teams and running various businesses, Matt has learned the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people for success. After facing his challenges and realizing the impact of having a strong support system, Matt founded BX, a business support network that aims to help small businesses grow and thrive.  What started as an education-focused platform quickly evolved into a community of like-minded individuals across Australia, the US, Canada, and Europe. Matt believes business success comes from building strong relationships and doing business with people rather than just businesses. Through BX, he provides resources, networking opportunities, and referrals to help entrepreneurs achieve their business goals.

In today's auditorial episode, host and NOT REAL ART founder Scott “Sourdough” Power recounts a recent, once-in-a-lifetime experience: attending a taping of SNL at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Scott shares his observations on the big night, reflecting on the collaborative spirit between cast and crew that contributes to the show's lasting impact. “I was so moved by the level of precision, commitment, and practice that was essential and necessary to create the best-in-class cultural, creative institution,” Scott says in the episode.An important part of SNL's unrivaled execution, according to Scott, is the artful leadership of producer Lorne Michaels. “One of the things I observed is [...] Lorne on the floor, quietly making his presence known, showing support, nudging and prodding where needed, but calm, cool, [and] collected,” Scott notes. He also touches on focus, discipline, passion, mutual respect, and gratitude, virtues that have sustained SNL's creative momentum through the decades: “You've got to be passionate in what you're doing because you can't be focused, disciplined, or have integrity without it.”Find out how you can apply the same virtues to your life and craft by tuning in to the episode on the player below. Though Scott praises the cast and crew at SNL, he also offers his listeners some practical tips based on his experience at Studio 8H: “If you want to compete at the highest levels in whatever art form or whatever business or organization you're in, you absolutely need to be disciplined.” Step up your creative game with Scott's thoughts on timing, professionalism, and commitment to excellence.In Today's Podcast EpisodeScott “Sourdough” Power discusses…SNL's lasting legacy as a creative institutionFormer and current SNL cast membersThe overall level of professionalism permeating everything at Studio 8HThe seamless transitions between scenes, despite little preparation timeThe incredible behind-the-scenes teamwork at SNLThe mutually respectful environment and gratitude he observedLorne Michaels' undeniable leadershipWhy great risk is required for great rewardHow to perform at a higher level of excellenceWhy it's important to celebrate accomplishmentsFor more information, please visit http://notrealart.com/saturday-night-live

“Old” is not a bad word. Getting older is not scary. Forget college! 50+ is the real-time of your life! This episode is about to blow up all the preconceived notions you have about getting older. Process guest, Barby White, a member of our wise community, is coming on the podcast to inspire the hell out of every single one of us. When she started unapologetically putting herself first, her life transformed. Barby and Jessica cover topics we've never had the chance to discuss on this podcast. How do you transition from being a stay-at-home mom with 3 kids into being an empty nester who finds fulfillment in the role of being a mom? How do you find expanders who are over 50 (and probably not on social media)? How do you navigate the pervasive guilt of motherhood? They even talk about the ways ego may be secretly driving your manifestation, how being over 50 is actually awesome, and how pings can be delivering what seems to be the most mundane message (like: clean out your storage closet!). Everyone of all ages will get deep expansion from this episode. Huge thank you to Barby for opening her world to us!

It's time to talk about decision-making as a CEO. Should you be making all the decisions for your business, or is it time to start sharing that responsibility?The problem with holding on to all the decision-making is that it doesn't leave enough time for you to make the strategic, high-level decisions that move your business forward. This is something I struggled with early in my business, and I've come to realize that a lot of other business owners struggle with it too. Transitioning from an entrepreneur running the business day-to-day to a CEO who delegates day-to-day tasks is challenging but super important if you want your business to continue to grow. Let's get into it.In this episode, you'll learn:Why it's so hard to hand over decision-making What decisions you should hand off to other team membersThe importance of trust in your team members How to avoid micromanaging The type of decisions that a CEO is in charge ofWhy you need to make time for strategic, high-level decision-making What you should be focusing on as a CEO How to decide what decisions to delegate How to empower your team to take ownership and make decisionsWhy you need to set clear expectations and deadlines Links & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

“Creating Change in Organizations and Empowering People”RSDS is challenging the real estate appraisal industry in how diversity initiatives are supported. According to Dr. Randy Flowers, this is what makes RSDS different from more traditional appraisal firms. By investing in their Appraisal Diversity Initiative, RSDS spends resources in areas that are typically “blocked out” for recruitment in order to encourage greater diversity throughout real estate appraisal.Julie and Dr. Randy go on to discuss the company's vision of what a more well-rounded real estate appraisal company looks like, and how the concept of continuous learning from multiple perspectives helps trainees learn how to become the best versions of themselves.TOPICS WE DISCUSS DURING THIS EPISODE:How RSDS is changing the way diversity plays a factor in the real estate appraisal industryWhy being kind, coachable, and humble are such important traits for staff membersThe concept of being proactive instead of reactive when it comes to keeping clients updated on report statusInterested in partnering with McKissock Learning for high-quality education solutions?

Tristan (they/them) and Lauren (she/her) were so happy to share space with Maygen Nicholson (they/she) in this episode of ALL THE F*CK IN. Maygen is dedicated to helping liberate hearts and minds free of biases and beliefs that inevitably hold us back from our true, authentic selves. They particularly focus on issues related to their 2SLGBTQIA+ family, through facilitating spaces that focus on 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion and validation education with an intersectional lens, all while remaining rooted in wellness. Tune in to hear us talk about…How Maygen's path as a yoga teacher eventually led them to leave teaching behindThe importance of holding space for educating cis-het folks while also offering validation and affirmation support for their 2SLGBTQIA+ community membersThe ways in which their work continues to evolve and how they hope to continue centering 2SLGBTQIA+ folks while also prompting cisgender folks to engage in their own gender journeysHow Maygen's own personal gender journey has unfolded and continues to unfold amidst their struggles with anxiety and OCDThe insidious nature of transphobia and the ways in which instances of misgendering can lead to the feeling of being societally gaslightThe importance of centering their own wellness so they can continue to show up for othersand more.Learn more about Maygen and their work (please note, though May referenced their Patreon in this conversation, they have since discontinued those offerings!):9/22 Workshop: Gender 101 - An Intro to Trans InclusionAll of May's OfferingsSupport Sessions for Queer, Trans, and Nonbinary Folks"Pick My Brain" Sessions for Allies & 2SLGBTQIA+ FolksMaygen's InstagramMaygen's websiteTeachers and resources mentioned in this episode:Eliana ChineaSusanna BarkatakiThe Statement May & Tristan co-authored on the transphobic podcast episode referenced in this ALL THE F*CK IN conversationYou can support this podcast by subscribing on Apple or Spotify, and leaving a 5-star rating and review on Apple.

On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, our guest is Mrinal Kumar, Founder & CEO at Navriti Technologies offering technology solutions for learning and assessments.Having been in the industry for more than six years, Mrinal has worked across varied technology stacks and possesses hands-on knowledge of contemporary web technologies.Before founding Navriti, he was leading a team at Actiance India Pvt Ltd to deliver a product, focused on compliance and auditing of data traffic over various email networks.In this episode, we discuss with Mrinal:About his entrepreneurial journeyWhy employee referrals are the best source of hireThe most underrated leadership skill: Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the team membersThe concept of ‘unlearning' and ‘relearning'Sureshot ways to reduce employee attritionAttritionOne of the biggest challenges that people managers are facing at this hour is Attrition. Mrinal Kumar, Founder & CEO, Navriti Technologies, while sharing his thoughts on what companies and managers can do to reduce Attrition, says, “The only solution is to increase retention.”“Managers play a very crucial role. We need to understand if the individuals' strengths and weaknesses are in sync with the organization's. Not just that, but we need to see if they are doing what they want to do,” he goes on to say and mentions an example of an individual who likes to talk but is working in the operations team.Employee ReferralsHiring the right individual is another big decision that managers are required to make. The trend of employee referrals is one of the most trusted and accepted ways of getting a trusted resource onboard.Sharing his set of reasons for banking on employee referrals, Mrinal says, “With employee referrals, there is a promise that there is someone who can vouch for the new hire. You can't completely rely on the one-day interview process. Because that might not be a very good day for the interviewee.”“However, with employee referral, you are sorted with the background check and most of the other things. All that needs to be done in evaluating the attitude and see if the person can be a good fit within the team or not.” Kumar goes on to say.Showing a contrast between startups and established companies, Kumar says, “For established firms, the process might include various other things, but for startups, employee referral is the best way. For any requirement, spread the word internally, trust your employees and send a value proposition.”Underrated Leadership SkillsWhile leadership is a skill not everyone can learn, Mrinal Kumar believes that “Unlearning” has always been an underrated leader skill.While supporting his remark, he says, “The most harmful thing for leaders is their ‘Know It all' attitude. Leaders should unlearn their past experiences and create room for new ideas. They should not stop trying out new things because of their past experiences.”To narrate further, he says, “Life is all about learning new things every day, from zero. Unlearning comes naturally, and all that needs to be done is give room to new ideas, solutions.”“Many-a-times leaders rule out new ideas based upon their past experiences when they end up with not-so-pleasing outcomes. But the same idea might do wonders if applied in a different scenario and with a fresh approach,” shares Mrinal.Not only the corporate sector and job market, but Mrinal has a strong point of view about the current education system.Follow Mrinal on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Lokesh Gautam

Charisse, The Existential Ginger, joins me on the mic for our Everyday Woman Series. After an existential crisis and a divorce, Charisse left the Mormon church and moved 2,000 miles away from everything she'd ever known. Today, Charisse enjoys all the things she once believed to be evil; tank tops, beer, tattoos, and coffee. Needless to say, Charisse is no longer following the Mormon way by "enduring to the end", she's now THRIVING to the end. #YOLOIf you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend!

Quick-Show Notes:A Little about Allison Williams:Allison Williams is the owner of not one, but two successful companies. She is the Founder of Williams Law Group, a full-service family law firm where she is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, is Certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as Matrimonial Law Attorney, and is certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in Family Law.  After taking Williams Law Group from start-up to a multi-million dollar business in 3.5 years, she created a second business, Law Firm Mentor, where she and her team provide business coaching services for Solo and Small Law Firm attorneys helping them grow their revenues, crush chaos in business and make more money. In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Allison Williams discuss:Allison states to never stop growing, you can hire people to do the work so you can focus on what you desire to do.Allison Williams is the Law Firm MentorWorks with Small and Solo firmsHelps crush chaosGrows revenue; double and triple your revenue with her help and ideologyAdds in a consistent order to everything you doBring people into your business, you do not have to do everything yourselfHave ways that people can function without you, have systems in place so that the office can flow in auto-pilotCrushing ChaosCreate systems that help settle the chaos, make everything flow smoothly and correctly.Systems for:MarketingStaff / vendors / OwnerMoney ManagementBreak those systems down even more, IE:Money Management gets broken down too:Accounts PayableAccounts ReceivableWhen you have more work on your table than you want hire out that work; it makes your life that much easier, you have that much more time, and you can focus on what you really enjoy doing rather than the small stuff that anyone could do.Once you have systems in place you are able to evolve themMost people should have a system for booking in appointments (IE: what for, who for, gather all documentation required, and so on)With COVID, that system evolves into a more virtual way of doing things. Instead of gathering the hard file and all documents and putting it on the Bosses desk for the meeting, you then create all virtual files for the meeting, and add those notes / e-file to the calendar appointment rather than a hard file on the desk.Make sure you have someone double checking the system you or someone else created. It should be dummy-proof, just because something is common sense to you doesn't it will be to a new hire.Allison goes in to tell us about one of the ways she is able to create systems within the workplace, ART.Ask - Ask the person who does the role how they do it. (Ask your admin about the process of receiving mail, step by step. Making sure to include "open the envelopes". As a new Admin comes in they may be unsure if they are actually able to open up their boss's mail As JP's Executive assistant I was nervous too until I was told I could; just because it may be common sense, doesn't mean it is to someone coming in.Record - Have a tape recorder recording what they are saying. They will be stating a step by step order of how that task is completed.Transcribe - Transcribe what that person has stated into a document. Allison mentions that she uses Sonix as her software for this step.The CEO of the business should be telling their team about:Their goals and visions for the business and team membersThe state of the firm - How it is doing this quarter; if they need to focus on an area that may not be doing as well as it couldInstill the values into the teamCelebrating the good and how the good can get better.If you keep celebrating the good that the team is doing they are likely to be motivated to keep up the good work and find ways to improve.Gives them a sense of security and that they are valued. Positive and feedback and bonuses are such a good motivation to keeping your team on track, working, and effective.When is the best time to start organizing your Chaos?You have to have grown enough that you have the economical resources to buy convenience.Chaos is a sign of growth, just try to make sure that you are monetizing it to help allow yourself the economical resources to buy conveniences to eventually get out of that chaos.More work, more people, more systems that need to be in place.Your host, JP, asks how to monetize that chaos like Allison had mentioned, her advice:The owner does not have to do everything. If you have more than 25% of extra work then hire someone to take that one. Take that work off of your table.The best thing you can do in these situations is to hire someone that could replace you. It's the greater investment because they will be making you money, and provides security because you will be needed less for the business to operate.If you've heard this podcast before, you know that there is a GREAT VALUE in being replaceable in your own business.Mindset is essential; the mindset of how to do things, that it doesn't have to be you; and that you can hire someone else. The Mindset is what holds all business owners back, but if you are able to shift that you can see the value!Allison has a "Closed Door" policy within her firms, if you need to talk with you you book a time in the calendar. This allows Allison to give that member her undivided attention; she does not like being interrupted when she is giving her undivided attention to something else as it does take 3 minutes to adjust tasks.Staff members may be experiencing "decision fatigue" and are not dialed in anymore. To combat this, they need to learn how to focus again. If they are unable then the boss needs to coach them into focus and complete the task.Working remotely  opened the door for a lot of opportunities; it forces people to be more intentional with their time. No more water cooler hangouts after bathroom breaks!Allison stated that is important to be available for more internal communication rather than external. If the internal isn't able to communicate and be on the same page, it affects the external in ways that could be easily avoided.Connect with Allison Williams:WebsitePodcast - Crushing Chaos with the Law Firm MentorFacebookTwitterInstagramYouTubeConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:Conduct LawWebsite

We're the students who do the hard work, and if we just plow through, well, decades of plowing through got to me. Stop. Look up. How'd you get here? Check in with yourself.""You have a lot of leaders running around on empty. There's no productivity in that. That's the secret a lot of leaders hide behind.""Self care isn't selfish, it's what you need. If you don't take care of you, it doesn't matter what you can produce.""If you're not someone I'd want in my home, I'm not going to hire you. Create a place where you have people creating the same goal, internally and altruisitcally.""If one person leaves a team, the dynamics shift and everything runs the risk of falling apart, but in a community every person contributes to the legacy of whatever it is collectively you're working on."Connect with Dr. Kim HiresVisit Dr. Kim Hires' website to learn more about her workCheck out Dr. Kim's book, the Leadership ManifestoCheck out Dr. Kim's book, the Plan to Grow workbookFollow Dr. Kim Hires on InstagramHelpful Links and ResourcesFor more information on the Leadership Academy, visit www.joytolead.com/academy!To learn more about the Dream to Team Hiring Course & Template Bundle, click here!Need 1:1 Hiring Support and Strategy?

When I was dating, I made a lot of mistakes related to how I presented in my intimacy disorders. This week, I'm talking about how my love avoidance showed up for me in my relationships. For me, my personal experience and how that connected to my religious education really amplified a lot of my avoidance which is also discussed. This episode will not span all of the ways love avoidance can show up in relationships as that as been discussed in previous episodes. But we hope these real experiences will help validate and give solace to the women who need to hear these stories represented. Resources mentioned in the episode:Join the BGH's Members Club: blackgirlsheal.org/membersThe 4 Step Roadmap to Heal Love Addiction: https://www.blackgirlsheal.org/roadmapReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?
