On this weeks Ozark Traditions Tv podcast, the guys talk about their recent trip to to the NWTF Convention & Sport Show in Nashville TN. The guys got loaded up and headed south of Lebanon, they ran into a couple of guys having a fireside chat in a church parking lot, they turned around and an awesome talk with the two gentlemen. After about 30 minutes of talking, they had prayer and the guys were back on the road. Once they reached Southeast Missouri, Matt Miller, Matt Smith, Tj Schlipp and Michael Ballard, had to make a stop at Strawberry's BBQ for lunch, it is a tradition for Matt Miller, TJ and Michael to eat there as they have been doing that for years on their annual snow goose hunt and wanted Matt Smith to be part of it. They made it to Nashville Friday evening, got settled in and got rested up, because they were gonna need plenty of energy walking around the NWTF show the following day. Everyone had a great time and looking forward to next year and doing it all over again.

Have you had "righteous" anger used against you as an excuse for poor behavior? Maybe you've had this thrown out as justification after some form of horrific attack that seemed to scream "ungodly"? As if losing control and treating you in an abusive manner is somehow righteous, and therefore, warranted, deserved, not needing repentance and forgiveness? Maybe you've been taught that if anger is righteous then everything Jesus said goes null and void...you know, to love your neighbor as yourself. Listen in to hear what a Christian expert on anger has to say, then join NWM for our November Livestream on YouTube, November 11th at 2pm ET, to ask Dr. Ballard your follow up questions live!

Resiliency Essentials: Resiliency is our ability to deal with BIG Stuff. We create more successful outcomes the more resilient we are, despite the obstacles and heartaches we all face in life. Originally recorded in June 2016 As survivors of abuse, we sometimes feel we have to beat a lot of odds... I know that sometimes we feel so overwhelmed by life's circumstances that to the rational mind seem marginal, that we want to just give up. Because the prospect of even those small hurdles makes us remember the huge task of healing that lies in front of us. It makes us feel that we will never be able to deal with life's big stuff, the complications that every life knows and every person has to face. Develop resilience and be brave. There are days when it is very discouraging. You have to develop personal resilience to environmental things that come along. If you let every single environmental challenge knock you off your game, it's going to be very, very hard. Renee James In today's podcast, I speak with Michael Ballard about resilience. How we can train ourselves to become more resilient, and how those skills will help take the edges of the big and small issues we face on our path.

From Pain To Gain: Ten 21st Century Leadership Lessons Learned© Irene Becker, Just Coach It-The 3Q Edge™  | (IQ-EQ-SQ) Reach-Resonance-Results3Q Leadership™ Blog- 27,000+ Social Media Followers & Growing!   Leadership is a 3Q equation supported by courage. Courage grows each time we align intelligence: (IQ) + humanity (EQ) + integrity (SQ)9-17-2016 - Interviewer's Note: Though this interview was done several years ago, the insight and wisdom for leadership does not expire.

The global village that Marshall McCluhan spoke of in the 1970′s is now a reality, the social, digital and virtual landscape of our lives, our business and organizations is based on the relationships be develop.  Success is a me to we equation. Lesson Four:  The best business idea is impotent without the business strategy, financial capital, human capital to transform what is into what can be. Building a business, an organization, a professional practice requires not only courage and tenacity but the knowledge, collaboration and focus that are the building blocks of success.Lesson Five:  If you want to be a change-maker expect to be tested and challenged at every corner.  Every step of the journey will be challenged by those who see you as a threat to the status quo.  You will be unable to lead forward, to move forward without building a community of purpose, a constituency of those who share your values and objectives and will support your journey against the flow of what is.Lesson Six: Bad things, terrible things, totally unfair things happen to good people; (great interview with a survivor and thriver, Resiliency Expert, Michael Ballard). It is our spiritual quotient, our belief in a greater power, a bigger picture and purpose we cannot see or understand that can take us through the most difficult of times.  If you are a survivor, you must become a thriver.  Those who thrive in the face of terrible adversity, illness, life/career challenges are those whose are purpose and values centered.  Their values and purpose are a pilot light that keeps their hope, faith and courage shining brightly in the darkest night.Lesson Seven:  Hope must spring eternal, because without it we are lost.  When we lose hope we lose our power to make a difference, be a difference and to contribute to a better life, better organization and a better world. Keeping hope alive does not mean wearing rosy colored glasses, it means cleaving to the values, the spiritual quotient, the heartbeat of human innovation and potential that glows and grows from within.Lesson Eight:  Purpose makes profit; what does not create value for ALL constituents will ultimately crash and burn.  The secret to success is simple and timeless; create value for others; the imperative to do so has never been greater.  Organizations who survive and thrive will be communities of purpose who align vision, values, purpose with the engagement of human potential. Our ability to communicate, collaborate and build solutions that take us forward is a group activity.  The members of your group, your team, your community of purpose must be shareholders in the values and objectives that transform me into we!Lesson Nine: Adaptability-Resiliency-Creativity-Ingenuity rooted in courage, integrity, humanity are the strengths and values that will take us forward individually and collectively.  We must embrace change while guarding the values that are the anchor for a better present and future. The words we use, the thoughts we think impact our potential, optimizing our ability means embracing change and using it to build the adaptability, resiliency, creativity and ingenuity that turns problems into solutions.Lesson Ten:  Perspective is everything.  What you focus on grows; your perspective is your reality.  Developing a perspective and honing the skills that can help us optimize strengths AND use changes, challenges, stressors, even failures to build IQ (intelligence, strategic thought, ability to learn-relearn faster)  EQ (self awareness, awareness of others, resiliency, social/communication skills)  SQ (values, integrity, purpose, leadership strengths-spiritual quotient) is CRITICAL.More?  You Betcha!  The need to get re-inspired by what we CAN do is critical!  AND….a new course From Pain To Gain-Ten 21st Leadership Lessons is on its way.  Contact us to learn more.  Enrollment is limited!  irene@justcoachit.com Source link: http://justcoachit.com/blog/2013/09/07/from-pain-to-gain-ten-leadership-lessons-learned/ Subscribe and Access via iTunes - Subscribe to Podchats on iTunes Subscribe via Email - Subscribe to Podchats via email Web Toolbar by Wibiya
