Michael agreed and transformed my song into an extraordinary big band Samba. My band mates and I were the rhythm section on the recording. Spotify link.I then got the idea to take another of my jazz ballads and have it arranged into a classical string quartet piece. I was introduced to David Shenton, a genius arranger, who took my song, “Ma Petite Fleur” - my little flower - and arranged it as a classical string quartet piece inspired by my song.

60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: Fishhooks McCarthy Was a Corrupt Politician & Praying Man

Hello to you listening in McHenry, Illinois!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe it's true and maybe it isn't but once there was a corrupt politician in the 1920's named John A. McCarthy; but he was known as Fishhooks McCarthy. He lived and worked on the Lower East Side of New York City. Being a devout man every morning he stopped at a little Catholic Church, St. James Church on Olive Street, to pray. Same prayer every day: “O Lord, give me health and strength. We'll steal the rest.” Fishhooks sounds like one of those politicians you shouldn't trust; but people remembered him as a Robin Hood who used graft and corruption to redistribute money to his unemployed and working class poor constituents.Let me be very clear! I am not advocating for theft, bribery, corruption, immorality, stepping outside the law, and all the rest. We have more than enough of that with the Trump/MAGA Regime. What I am saying is that in these historic times we have once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to examine our core values, our moral code, and ask ourselves: what do I stand for and what won't I stand for?Question: While you have health and strength what can you do to be of good use? You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Hans Lagerweij is the author of The Why Whisperer: How to Motivate and Align Teams That Get Your Strategy Done. In this episode, Hans shares that he wrote the book after watching great strategies fail during execution. He saw a gap between understanding the importance of purpose and actually implementing it. Hans explains that you can't shout your way to purpose. Whispering requires getting close to your team and having two-way conversations. He emphasizes that leaders need to listen to personal motivations and ideas from team members. Hans presents three options when there's misalignment between personal and organizational purpose: change your personal why, take leadership to influence the organizational why, or leave. Listen to this episode to learn how to move your organization's purpose from theory into practice. You can find episode 487 on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Hans Lagerweij on Three Ways to Motivate Teams and Align Strategy https://bit.ly/TLP-487 Key Takeaways [03:06] Hans reveals his first job at 15 was in a DIY store managing screws and tools, sparking his commercial curiosity. [05:04] Hans explains the "Why Whisperer" addresses the gap between Simon Sinek's purpose theory and practical implementation. [06:25] Hans attributes strategy failure to lack of discipline in communicating and aligning teams, not discipline itself. [07:06] Hans explains whispering means close two-way conversations with teams rather than top-down broadcasting. [10:37] Hans outlines three options for misaligned purposes: change your why, influence the organization's why, or leave. [15:35] Hans talks about clarifying the why and how that helps simplify decision making for leaders. [19:18] Hans recommends asking team members what makes them most proud to understand what drives them. [20:53] Hans introduces the "reverse elevator pitch" where leaders articulate direction, importance, and excitement in three minutes. [22:30] Hans explains "purpose" is universal across cultures but requires different communication approaches depending on cultural norms. [27:47] Hans challenges leaders to move "purpose" from wall posters into the organization's heartbeat. [28:50] And remember…"The louder the world becomes, the more radical it is to whisper truths. Not to be heard by all — but to be remembered by someone" - Lawrence Nault Quotable Quotes "You can't shout your way to purpose." " Whispering means you need to be so close with your team to have actually a conversation, a two way conversation and you know, to listen to ideas and personal motivations from your team. So yeah, it's really whispering to me is, you know, about getting people to own the why, not just follow it. So it is seriously going from a beautiful slogan on the wall to something that is, you know, in the hearts and minds. " "A clear purpose really helps, you know, to reduce options. Choices from a million to just a few right ones." "A clear purpose absolutely will save your time, will, you know, set your directions. As I said, it's your North Star." "Purpose is absolutely universal language, but, you know, you have to speak it in different accents." "In the end, the most powerful strategy is the one that your team believes in and that they're willing to fight for." "If there is a conflict between the two, if there's disconnect, it will always feel like misalignment. It will always feel like, you know, you're not at the place in that organization." "If you can synchronize individual and organizational purposes, you know, or wise, you know, then you create an authentic connection that really drives results." "In every culture, in every country, you know, people want to feel a sense of purpose. I think it's simply a fundamental human need."

He shares which fasting approach works best for him and how moderation and self-control have become the foundation for his health and happiness — and the perfect title for this episode. Boyd also opens up about living with neuropathy, his two Halifax Marathons (both incredibly tough races), and the sheer determination it took to complete them. Since a serious car accident, he's run eight of his eighteen marathons, proving once again that his drive and faith know no limits. Of course, there's a little fun mixed in too — from Disney runs and unforgettable post-race cookies (yes, the chocolate chip and shortbread kind!) to his hopeful plans for another Fredericton full or half marathon this spring, if his health allows.

Hello to you listening in Suffolk, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for an important story) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Each one of us - if we're determined - finds a way to compost the regrets, poor decisions, failures, shames and blames that are part and parcel of living life into something almost beyond description: personal transformation. My long time friend, podcasting colleague, disabled military vet, and avid hiker, Keith McNally, is a man finding his path to transformation.His goal? Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail beginning on March 29, 2026, crossing 14 states on the East Coast and finishing 2,197 miles 5 months later. Some of the challenges include constant rough terrain with difficult footing, a series of steep grades, climbs and descents, as well as river crossings balanced on logs, extreme weather, insects, and rock scrambles using hands for climbing. The elevation profile of the AT over its length is akin to summiting Mount Everest from sea level and back approximately 16 times. So yes, physical fitness is a must to take on the AT; but it is mental fortitude and the ability to adapt to unforseen challenges that is key to finishing the hike.Keith's journey will be a test of perseverance, a tribute to the beauty of the natural world, and an opportunity for personal growth. Even more importantly, Keith is setting the groundwork for a non-profit foundation to help military veterans find their own Trails to Transformation. This first hike is just the beginning. But here's something else. Keith is not walking alone. He has also been steadfastly training an indefatigable Aussie cattle dog he named Ashley after rescuing her from a shelter.

Matt Granados, founder of LifePulse Incorporated and author of "Motivate the Unmotivated," reveals how to replace hustle culture with sustainable workplace success. He shares actionable strategies for employee engagement, optimal performance, workplace culture, and leveraging AI for productivity—without risking burnout. Gain leadership tips for integrating work-life harmony and building high-performing teams that thrive in today's changing business environment. "There's a difference between high performers and optimal performers, right? So a high performer is where everyone used to try to get to, especially in sales.

Hello to you listening in Sayville, New York!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The other day I was talking with my longtime friends, colleagues and brainstormers, Tania and Leanne, about times when we set out to achieve X but an unintended, better-than-expected Y happened. You know what I mean: the mystery of unintended consequences that turns out to be amazing!Here's one: The Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming was working on a project on Staphylococcus bacteria at St. Mary's Hospital in London. He took off on vacation leaving behind an uncovered petri dish of bacteria. When he returned he saw a blue-green mold (like what you might find growing on bread exposed to moisture) growing on the dish and that the Staph bacteria were being killed in the area of the mold. Fleming - knowing a good thing when he saw one - identified the mold as the fungus penicillin notatum, and Shazaam! developed penicillin as an antibiotic. Fleming's unintended discovery of penicillin revolutionized the treatment of infections.Click HERE to learn more about the Discovery and Development of Penicillin 1928-1945Now, as to the moldy bread in your kitchen. Yes, penicillin is an antibiotic produced by a fungus called Penicillium notatum. Yes, this fungus is commonly found on moldy bread. Yes, when the fungus grows on bread, it releases penicillin into the surrounding environment.Let me caution you! Not all moldy bread contains penicillin. Moreover, eating moldy bread is a very big “No! No!” as it can contain harmful substances. Having said that think twice before you toss out what might be an unintended answer to a problem. Question: When did you set out to achieve X but an unintended Y turned out to be what you were looking for? What happened next?You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

How to Motivate your Employees

The podcast, hosted by Dan, marks the relaunch of the show after a break, announcing that future episodes will feature solo content, interviews with business leaders, and segments with "Becky," focusing on business growth, professional development, and leadership. The core belief driving the show is that everyone is a leader with a purpose, even if they don't realize it. The show is also expanding from audio to full video production.The main topic of this episode is addressing a common concern among business owners: employee retention and motivation. Dan argues that businesses should strive for employees who "buy in" to the company's vision, as this leads to above-and-beyond work, citing Walt Disney's ability to cast a big vision as an example.The host then presents a list of seven key strategies for motivating employees and encouraging greater participation:7 Ways to Motivate Your EmployeesRecognize Employee Achievements: Go beyond simple gestures like a pizza party. Praise and encourage good work specifically and personally. Consistently pointing out flaws (as one of Dan's past managers did) leads to discouragement; acknowledging success is vital to making employees feel noticed and valuable.Provide Opportunities for Growth: Business owners, especially small business owners, cannot afford not to invest in their people's growth. Citing the "Law of the Lid" (from John Maxwell), the leader must grow first to be able to elevate those beneath them. Offering growth opportunities shows care, acknowledges talent, and enables the business to grow through its people.Create a Positive Work Environment: A positive environment is achieved through both emotional and physical means. Emotionally, it means being supportive even when times are tough. Physically, it requires a clean, tidy, and well-maintained workspace (no broken equipment or clutter), as a messy environment automatically spikes stress.Promote a Healthy Work-Life Balance: While employers don't have to "babysit," providing adequate time off, vacation, and sick leave is a powerful motivator and shows the business cares for the individual. Burning out employees with excessive hours and minimal time off will destroy morale and lead to high turnover.Provide Autonomy: Avoid micromanaging, which increases mistakes and frustration. Once an employee is properly trained, a leader should let them do their job. Granting autonomy is an acknowledgment of their competence.Foster a Culture of Collaboration: Move away from a top-down structure and involve employees in the process. The key is to teach them to be problem-solvers, not complainers. Leaders should initially present a small problem with a pre-prepared solution, opening it up for discussion and buy-in. By repeating this process, teams learn to offer solutions instead of merely complaining, which builds a collaborative and motivating culture.Be Respectful and Honest: Leaders must be honest about their own mistakes (i.e., admitting when a business decision didn't work). When coaching employees, be honest about facts ("You were late 5 out of the last 10 days") rather than using generalizations ("You're always late"). Treat employees, who are the helpers and the backbone of the business, with respect.The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to use these strategies to lift up their people, who will, in turn, lift up the business.Have a question?

The CopDoc Podcast - Season 9 - Episode 163What happens when a former DEA executive takes the helm of a major city police department with a promise to be the most proactive force in America? We invited Dallas Police Chief Danny Comeaux to walk us through his playbook—why leadership starts with empower, inspire, motivate, how quick wins build trust, and why showing up unannounced at stations can change a culture faster than any memo. From the first 90 days of look, listen, and learn to a clear target of 4,000 sworn officers, his approach blends federal-scale thinking with deep local roots.We talk strategy that bites: a relentless felony-warrants push with the U.S. Marshals, stronger ties with DEA and FBI, and a precision focus on repeat violent offenders. Then we zoom out to the backbone—evidence-based policing—through partnerships with UTSA for the city's crime plan, Prairie View A&M for juvenile pathways, and SMU's VR training to sharpen cultural competency and decision-making. Crime is down five years running, recruitment is surging, and a 10-month academy turns cadets into street-ready officers prepared to act with confidence and restraint.Technology isn't window dressing here. Drones as first responders become a triage engine for low-priority calls, freeing officers to move to real emergencies and cutting response times. Inside the department, accountability is strict yet fair: discipline with context, truth over politics, and promotions tied to peer respect and proven experience. Wellness sits near the top of the operational stack because the job demands it—support that keeps good officers healthy and effective. And across Dallas, collaboration with city services turns quality-of-life complaints into quick fixes, reinforcing that public safety is a team sport.If you're curious about modern policing that blends community engagement, transparency, data, and decisive enforcement, this conversation lays out a blueprint you can put into practice, listen to Chief Danny Comeaux on The CopdDoc Podcast.

60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: Poland's 1000 Robes March Can Fortify Our Judiciary's Fight for Our Democracy

Hello to you listening in Warsaw, Poland!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I am deeply proud of my Polish heritage and being a lawyer. These times are unprecedented; but especially for judges, the last line of freedom's defense. Attacks on the independence of the judiciary are sweeping our country taking various forms ranging from court capture to direct attacks on judges. The cowards behind the attacks know that the independence of judges - the judicial branch of government - is foundational to democracy.“Judicial independence is fundamental to the rule of law. The rule of law is fundamental to freedom. Freedom is fundamental to the protection of every citizen.” [John Macmenamin - Judge at the Supreme Court of Ireland]Those are not my words. Those are the words of John Macmenamin, a judge at the Supreme Court of Ireland who joined with Polish judges at the “1000 Robes March”, an unprecedented event held in the name of judicial independence.1000 Robes March was the greatest demonstration of judges in contemporary Europe, with more than 30,000 people, including hundreds of judges from 22 European countries marching in solidarity with their Polish colleagues in the fight for judicial independence. The silent march in January 2020 was a reaction to proposed laws that threatened to undermine the judiciary's independence in Poland. "A Thousand Robes" is a short (12 minute) documentary film directed by Kacper Lisowski. The story is about mutual gratitude, focusing on the positive interactions between judges, lawyers, and the public. It highlights citizens who are moved by the judges' defense of their rights and lawyers who have experienced solidarity from ordinary people and European judges. The film serves as a warning against what dismantling the democratic mechanisms of the state leads to.Documenting this touching episode of the dramatic struggle for the rule of law that still lacks a happy ending in Poland, Kacper Lisowski also talks to the European judges participating in the march of a thousand robes. Particularly poignant is the voice of a Turkish judge who knows from experience what happens when such a struggle is lost.Click HERE to watch A Thousand Robes the film on YouTube.CTA: Maybe like me you will be moved to tears at what We the People can accomplish when we heed a call to action. This is what democracy looks like! Take Hope! Take Heart! Take Courage from all the good work being done by our federal judges who are in solidarity with our Democracy, our Constitution, our rule of law without fear or favor!
