In this week's episode, we discuss how to elevate your business transformation abilities and the obstacles to women's career progression in professional services.Ever heard of a ‘wicked problem'? Identified by two social scientists, Horst Rittel and Melvin Webber, in the 1970s, these are problems that are difficult or impossible to solve because of the numerous interlinked challenges they present, which are often in flux, may be contradictory, and involve multiple decision-makers. In a recent piece, MT columnist Chris Dalton argues that ‘wicked problems' are one reason why business transformation is seldom straightforward. With the failure rate for such projects notoriously high, we bring you Dalton's advice to support leaders in their organisational change endeavours. It may be 2025, but the number of women in M&A and professional services who feel their path to the C-suite has been hindered by sexist bias and discrimination is startlingly high (as many as one in three in the US). That's the sobering picture revealed by a survey by CIL Management Consultants, which also cited imposter syndrome as a hindrance to career progression for women working in professional services. Éilis Cronin discusses her interview with CIL partner Tabitha Elwes, who offered her thoughts on how companies within the industry can support women as they climb the corporate ladder.Credits:Presenters: Antonia Garrett Peel and Éilis CroninProducer: Inga MarsdenArtwork: David RobinsonLinks:https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/five-personal-practices-art-business-transformation/mt-columnist/article/1927141https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/imposter-syndrome-lack-role-models-shape-womens-careers-professional-services/interviews/article/1926495 Hosted on Acast.

He likens worship to giving God the biggest hug possible as we thank Him for making a way when we see no way.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kijuan Amey, Chief Motivation Officer of Amey Motivation LLC. He highlights his extraordinary journey living his dream of working in the Air Force to an accident that changed him forever. He shares how redefining his life through resilience, faith, and the power of vulnerability, gave him what he needed to thrive again.   In today's episode, we discuss: Reframe vulnerability as a source of strength. Embrace open self-expression and honesty about your struggles. This can foster healing, help you confront past pain, and empower both yourself and others. Acknowledge and address mental health openly. Recognize the reality of emotional struggles, such as depression after trauma. Seeking support and being transparent about difficulties can reduce stigma and provide relief. Remind yourself that setbacks do not define you. Internalize the mantra, “my situation does not define who I am.” Use this belief to separate your identity from your circumstances and maintain hope for your future. Appreciate the hidden lessons in adversity. Understand that challenges during childhood or unexpected setbacks build resilience and self-reliance. Apply this mindset to reframe today's difficulties as opportunities for growth. RESOURCES: Guest Bio From serving in the US Air Force to becoming a CEO, mentor, and bestselling author, Kijuan's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Durham, NC, he's a true testament to the power of determination and perseverance.  - Serving 10 years in the Air Force, advancing to the rank of Staff Sergeant.  - Former Vice President for the Carolina regional group of the Blinded Veterans Association.  - Mentor and ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program.  - A talented drummer with 25+ years of experience.  -On-stage actor. - Author of the bestseller, "Don't Focus on Why Me."  In a life-altering moment on May 5th, 2017, he lost his eyesight in a motorcycle accident. But as Kijuan says, "I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision."  Now, Kijuan is a motivating force, empowering others to overcome odds and achieve success. No matter the audience or location, he's ready for the task, from captivating crowds of 1,500 to one-on-one sessions, he is now the chief motivational officer of Amey Motivation LLC.   Website/Social Links: ♦      LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kijuan-amey-783889121?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app   ♦      Instagram:     https://www.instagram.com/kijuanamey?igsh=NmZtNHRqbW1meWNy&utm_source=qr   ♦      Facebook:     https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bq7zzDeV5/?mibextid=wwXIfr   Belinda's Bio: Belinda Pruyne is a renowned Leadership Advisor, Executive Coach, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker recognized for her ability to transform executives, professionals, and small business owners into highly respected, influential leaders.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Dave Schuknecht from Waverly, IA. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping grow faith that's deep, rooted, and bold. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:20-24: As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. — Mark 11:20-24 The fig tree is dead. Withered from the roots up. The very tree Jesus had cursed the day before is now nothing but dry branches and lifeless bark. Peter is stunned. But Jesus isn't. And Jesus doesn't say, “Look what I did.” He simply turns to his disciples and teaches them about faith in God. The kind of faith that moves what human strength never could. He speaks of mountains. Obstacles. Impossibilities. And he says, if you believe and do not doubt, it will be done for you. This isn't name-it-claim-it theology. It's an authentic, mountain-moving prayer, rooted not in wishful thinking but in confident trust in God's character and power. Jesus invites us to a faith that doesn't just believe God exists, but believes God is able. Not a faith that measures the size of the problem by our ability, but one that sees every problem in light of God's power. Some things in your life feel too big to move: That relationship. That addiction. That bitterness. That long-unanswered prayer. But Jesus says the issue isn't the size of your obstacle—it's the object of your faith. The point isn't to fixate on the mountain. It's to seek the One who made the mountain. And to trust him, whether the mountain moves or not. Because faith isn't confidence in your prayer or in getting what you want. It's trust in God's power, presence, and purpose—no matter what. #MountainMovingFaith, #PrayBold, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus use the fig tree to teach about faith? What “mountain” are you facing right now? Is your faith focused on results—or on the God who hears? What changes when you trust God's power more than your own? DO THIS: Pray boldly today for something that feels too big. Name the mountain—and ask God to move it, then trust Him either way. PRAY THIS: Father, I trust your power even when I can't see progress. Grow my faith—not just to pray boldly, but to believe you fully. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Do It Again.”

This wiring, known as the Motivational Triad, is great for survival but terrible for achieving greatness. In this episode, I'm breaking down the obstacles that stand between you and the badass version of yourself and the key to overcoming them. What You Will Discover: Why your brain's motivational triad (conserving energy, avoiding pain, seeking pleasure) directly sabotages extraordinary achievement. How fragility and constant excuse-making weaken your ability to create results. The hidden cost of approval-seeking and why you're wasting energy trying to please people you don't even respect. What drama and negativity bonding really do to your mental fortitude and creative capacity. The difference between self-love and self-coddling, and why one strengthens while the other weakens. How to use negative emotions as opportunities to build strength instead of reasons to retreat. Why accepting you're both good and bad, right and wrong, frees up massive energy for creation.

Part 1 The Miracle of Forgiveness by Spencer W. Kimball Summary"The Miracle of Forgiveness" by Spencer W. Kimball is a seminal work that focuses on the principles of repentance and forgiveness from a Latter-day Saint perspective. Below is a summary of the key themes and concepts presented in the book:Understanding Sin: Kimball emphasizes the reality of sin and the importance of recognizing it in our lives. He explains that sin is not just a personal failing but also a separation from God, which creates a need for reconciliation.The Atonement of Jesus Christ: Central to the book is the doctrine of the Atonement, where Kimball discusses how Jesus Christ's sacrifice enables individuals to overcome sin. The transformative power of the Atonement is pivotal in achieving true forgiveness, both from God and oneself.Repentance Process: Kimball outlines the steps of true repentance, which include recognizing the sin, feeling genuine remorse, forsaking the sin, confessing to God (and in some cases, to others), and making amends. He highlights that repentance is not merely an act but a change of heart.Forgiveness: The book delves into the nature of forgiveness, stating that it is both a divine gift and a personal choice. Kimball discusses the necessity of forgiving others as a reflection of God's forgiveness toward us. He asserts that holding onto grudges obstructs personal peace and spiritual progress.The Importance of Humility: Humility, according to Kimball, is crucial in seeking forgiveness and repenting. Being humble allows individuals to acknowledge their shortcomings and seek help from God and others.Obstacles to Forgiveness: Kimball addresses common barriers to forgiveness, such as pride, anger, and a desire for revenge. He encourages readers to overcome these emotions to experience true healing and peace.The Joy of Forgiveness: Throughout the text, Kimball illustrates that forgiveness is ultimately a liberating experience that leads to joy and spiritual growth. Through sincere efforts to forgive and repent, individuals can find happiness and a deeper connection with God.Practical Applications: In addition to theoretical discussions, the book provides practical guidance on how to implement these principles in everyday life, encouraging readers to develop a personal relationship with God through prayer, scripture study, and service.In conclusion, "The Miracle of Forgiveness" serves as both a theological treatise and a self-help guide, urging readers to embrace the principles of forgiveness and repentance to obtain peace, joy, and a deeper relationship with the divine.Part 2 The Miracle of Forgiveness AuthorSpencer W. Kimball was the twelfth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and a prominent leader within the church. He was born on March 28, 1895, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and served as a church leader for many decades, including as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1943 until he became president in 1973. He passed away on November 5, 1985.The Miracle of Forgiveness Spencer W. Kimball released The Miracle of Forgiveness in 1969. The book focuses on the principles of forgiveness, repentance, and redemption, emphasizing both the spiritual aspects and the practical applications of these concepts within the context of LDS teachings. It has been influential within the church and is often recommended for those seeking to understand the importance of forgiveness and the process of repentance.Other Notable Works In addition to The Miracle of Forgiveness, Spencer W. Kimball authored several other works, including: The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball (published in 1982) – A compilation of Kimball's talks and lessons, considered essential for understanding his leadership and doctrine.

“Let the children come to me and hinder them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God” Matthew 19:14    "A creature can be led astray by something that is in itself quite small. It is something that creeps in unnoticed under the guise of love and assistance but which is actually due to blindness of an adult whose unconscious egoism can have a truly diabolical influence upon a child. And yet children are constantly being born anew, bearing within themselves unspoiled the plan according to which they should normally develop."

Jen Psaki looks at how we arrived at today's Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions, from Donald Trump's unpopular policies, frequently unlawful executive orders, and Republican lemming Congress, to the state attorneys general defending rights and the rule of law, and the millions of Americans who have been organizing against Trump. That organizing is going to be useful as the Supreme Court has left the door open on using class action lawsuits to oppose Trump's orders.
