Nate Rees, Director of Training and Talent Development at Salary.com, joins us this episode to discuss a critical issue facing organizations today: the manager training crisis. Nate shares alarming data on the percentage of managers promoted without receiving any training and the costly impact this has on turnover and productivity. We explore why organizations fail to invest in new managers, how a raise is not a substitute for training, and low-budget/high-impact strategies HR leaders can implement immediately to better support their new managers. [0:00] Introduction Welcome, Nate! Today's Topic: The Manager Training Crisis [6:25] What is the manager training crisis? 60% of new managers report receiving zero training for their role. New managers are split between their own quota and team development. [16:31] Why aren't more organizations investing in manager training? Untrained managers' teams have a 260% higher turnover rate. Organizations will pay a premium for external experienced managers but won't invest in developing their internal talent. [22:29] How can HR leaders start to fix this? Create a zero-budget manager mentor program by leveraging your existing top managers. User simple conversation models like COIN (Context, Observation, Impact, Next). [33:43] Closing Thanks for listening! Quick Quote “60% [of managers] say they never received any training when they transitioned into their first leadership role... we're throwing them at the deep end of the pool and not giving them any swimming lessons.”

You weren't made to just survive the grind. Psalm 1 paints a vision of a rooted, flourishing life — one that stays steady even when everything else feels uncertain. In this opening message from our new series Community of Practice, Pastor David invites us to slow down and rediscover the beauty of Scripture as a lived experience, not just something to study. Through a simple and practical rhythm called SOAP — Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer — we'll learn to meet God in His Word and let His truth shape the way we work, rest, and live.
Various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) from their personal devotions.

2026 TOK Essay Title 1: In the production of knowledge, does it matter that observation is an essential but flawed tool? Discuss with reference to the natural sciences and one other area of knowledge. The premise of the 2026 TOK Essay Title 1—that observation, the bedrock of science, is also inherently flawed—demanded a rigorous inquiry. To understand the stakes, I sat down with a science expert to challenge the maxim, 'seeing 'is believing.' Our discussion was a deep dive into the mechanisms of scientific knowledge: how the very act of observation is shaped by the techniques and tools we use; what the true nature of these perceptual flaws is; and the intricate methods developed to 'correct' for human and technical bias. This conversation reveals why this foundational vulnerability is not a weakness to be hidden, but a critical, defining characteristic of the natural sciences.

In this intimate 90 minute conversation, Mo and Nourine traverse a wide spectrum from the evolving art world and the boundaries of creative freedom, to motherhood, postpartum depression, and the quiet strength it takes to support loved ones through life's most testing moments. 0:00 Intro1:20 What Is Hyperrealism?5:02 From IBM Engineer to Full-Time Artist9:53 Instability, London Survival12:41 Independence, Failure Mindset Resilience19:18 Gulf Art on the Rise25:27 What Makes “Art”?28:00 Inspiration, Process Research Ethics38:52 Burnout vs. Patience45:00 Politics, Palestine Artistic Freedom47:12 Creative Blocks50:00 Postpartum Depression59:02 Family Balance, Presence Digital Detox1:09:11 Digital Addiction, Parenting Screens1:13:23 Preparing Kids For Life1:15:43 The IWC Minute1:18:04 Life Without Art:20:30 Mantras Influences1:24:06 Childhood, Vision, and the Gift of Observation1:26:53 Closing Thoughts and Farewell
In the trades, most techs learn to fix things...only a few learn to notice things. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and Brandon Cockrell reveal the hidden skill that separates average technicians from elite ones: curiosity. Curious technicians ask better questions, read environments faster, and earn trust without forcing it. Observation helps you see what others miss — and that's where real connection starts. They'll show you how to: -Use observation to anticipate customer needs and objections -Ask natural, curiosity-driven questions that open conversation -Spot key decision-makers and emotional triggers without guessing -Turn small talk into meaningful connection -Build confidence that customers can feel — before you ever present a price As Brandon says: “When you notice what others don't, you connect before you even start talking.” If you're ready to elevate from being a communicator to being a connector, this episode will teach you how to turn curiosity into confidence — and confidence into results.
In this week's session of How to Read and Study the Bible, Pastor Byron Cogdell walks us through the practice of Observation — learning to slow down and really see what's in the text before asking what it means.We'll discover how careful observation deepens our understanding of God's Word, how to recognize what's repeated, emphasized, and true to life, and how to move from casual reading to spiritual attentiveness.By the end, you'll know how to approach Scripture with fresh eyes — not just reading the Bible, but letting the Bible read you.

Welcome to Day 14 of our October mindfulness journey. Today's practice is a gentle thought observation exercise that invites you to imagine your mind as an aquarium—full of colorful thoughts, emotions, and distractions swimming by. Rather than getting caught up in each thought, this practice helps you take a step back and simply observe. Like watching fish through glass, you'll learn to notice your thoughts without judgment, allowing them to come and go while staying grounded in your breath and body. This is a powerful way to cultivate presence, especially as we head into the final stretch of our challenge.

Show Notes:In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the intricate world of somatic integration and its profound impact on our emotional and cognitive well-being. Our guest, Christoffel Snaders, brings over 30 years of experience in coaching, psychotherapy, and leadership training to our discussion, offering deep insights into the dynamic interplay between our head, heart, and gut.Christoffel Snaders highlights that human behavior is not fixed but is a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of neural, emotional, and bodily systems. When these systems align through somatic coherence, individuals can achieve a state of attunement where body, mind, and emotions communicate fluidly. This alignment fosters clarity, resilience, and adaptive connections, which are essential for effective emotional regulation.Timestamps:[00:03:06] Somatic coherence and emotional clarity.[00:05:08] Somatic processes and decision-making.[00:09:12] Somatic integration and trauma.[00:11:06] Body's response to trauma.[00:14:37] The complexity of body cells.[00:18:03] Questioning Quantum biology and energy fields.[00:22:58] Placebo effect in therapy settings.[00:26:15] Logic in the head.[00:29:58] Heart and memory connection.[00:31:48] Heart and gut dominance.[00:37:08] Misinterpretation of bodily sensations.[00:42:00] Importance of observation in therapy.[00:45:29] Observation and somatic awareness.[00:48:05] Psychological safety in therapy.[00:50:55] Tailoring sessions to client needs.[00:54:49] Tailoring sessions for clients.[00:59:04] Three brains intelligence resources.[01:00:31] Human connection and collaboration.—CreditsFeatured Guest: Christoffel SneijdersHost: Jeffrey BeseckerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.Music by Aloft Meade and Jeffrey Besecker“Integration” by Aloft Media“Miss Undrestanding” written by Jeffrey Besecker“Meaningful Connections” by Aloft Media

In this episode of Truth From The Stand, I sit down with my buddy Tyler Jones to talk about life, hunting, and the lessons that tie them together. We get into the joys and struggles of parenting — from youth sports to that bittersweet moment when kids start stepping into adulthood — and how those same lessons apply in the deer woods. Tyler and I swap stories about hunting around cornfields, building a calculated approach for early season sits, and staying mentally sharp when the hunt doesn't go your way. We dig into travel hunts, reading new terrain, and setting realistic expectations so you can enjoy the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. More than anything, this one is about humility, perspective, and letting hunting shape who we are — in the timber and at home. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 460 Be present and engaged with your kids as they grow. Adapt hunting strategies and life plans as circumstances change. Observation and patience are key to both parenting and hunting. Early season success requires a calculated, disciplined approach. Serving others and staying humble builds lasting fulfillment. Perspective and gratitude turn challenges into growth. Gritty experiences make success more meaningful.

When we think about the way that Southeast Asian rulers governed their kingdoms, we usually think of the relationship between the rulers and the people. But as Katheryn Dyt shows in her new book, The Nature of Kingship: The Weather-World in Nineteenth-Century Vietnam (University of Hawaii Press, 2025), royal governance in the Kingdom of Vietnam depended on a highly detailed knowledge of the weather and the natural environment. Kings took a deep, personal interest in the weather, even writing poetry in an attempt to influence it. The Vietnamese royal bureaucracy had a ‘Bureau for the Observation of the Sky' to advise the king on portentous signs and omens which might help him interpret the will of Heaven. This premodern understanding of the natural world was influenced both by classical Chinese learning, as well as by an empirical understanding of Vietnam's distinct climate and landscape. This highly original book connects Vietnam's precolonial political history with an understanding of the natural environment seen through the eyes of Vietnamese kings and royal officials.Kathryn Dyt is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in the History department at SOAS, University of London.
