In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about menopause. For some women, the phases of menopause follow a reasonably predictable course. For others, however, it might start earlier than expected or lead to unexplained symptoms that can have you asking, “What's wrong with me?” My guest this week, Susan Miele, a menopause educator and former chief people officer, shares how early perimenopause interrupted her once-thriving career. Without an understanding of what was happening to her, she began self-medicating and eventually left her job to focus on her health. Here we discuss the importance of menopause awareness in the workplace so that women can get the support and care they need to stay in their roles and continue to grow their careers. We also talk about ways in which organizations can have these conversations and normalize this experience.About My GuestDr. Susan Miele is a transformational leader and workplace well-being advocate dedicated to redefining the narrative around menopause.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in the well-being of our community.   Food Insecure Households For many families in the U.S., the past several years have been difficult. Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ • • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Imagine this scene. You are sitting in your office when a call comes in. A man and his wife are on the line. The wife says she was given your name from someone who thought you could help. Their adult children have not spoken to them for 10 months. They have pleaded, cajoled, and apologized for all past transgressions hoping they can make amends and, yet no amount of remorse can stop the pain of being disconnected. The husband says, “We miss our children. We miss our grandchildren. What can we do?” This scenario is an example of an emotional cut-off. Family disengagement and emotional splinters are trending upward for a variety of reasons. Our special guest, Margaret Otto, LSCSW and co-founder and director of KC Center for Families and Organizational Systems, offers insight regarding understanding the dynamics associated with emotional cut-offs and how they precipitate transgenerational impact.

Have you ever started a system and then gotten off track? (My hand is up!) We all need a restart every now and again, don't we? Some are easy, like the ones that tend to come naturally at the beginning of a new term. But others? They can feel like a disruption, a hassle, or even a disappointment. But here are three facts about organizational systems: It's OK if you put a system in place and it doesn't work out like you'd hoped. When you discover that a particular system or a part of a system doesn't work, that can be a really good thing. When you get off track, it doesn't mean that you're an unorganized person or that you can't handle follow-through. It means that your system needs attention. Not so sure about all of this? Then you'll want to check out this episode where I share four steps for getting your organizational systems back on track.    Show Notes: For full show notes of this episode, visit https://www.eltresourceroom.com/podcast/69-four-steps-to-get-your-organizational-systems-back-on-track Stay up to date with the podcast and more: Sign up for my newsletter to get more organizational tips like in today's episode that will help you live a calmer, more sustainable ELT life >> https://eltresourceroom.ck.page/a29bcd1017   Connect with Heather: Website LinkedIn Facebook

To learn more, visit lexipol.com.  In a recent blog post, Dave Williams, PhD, noted that half to two-thirds of Dallas city general funds are dedicated to police, fire and EMS. With significant tax dollar investments, elected officials, community leaders, and the media want to be good stewards. Still, they are frequently not equipped with the knowledge or data to determine if their services are built to get results and where there are opportunities for improvement. In this week's podcast, host Rob Lawrence sat down with EMS thought leader, Dr. Dave Williams, to discuss and identify the 12 questions local leaders can use to learn about their communities. Each point discussed should generate ideas for more learning and improvement both inside an organization and for those citizens and elected officials that surround it. Top quotes from this episode “I have been to dozens of ambulance systems around the world and met with leaderships teams and I can count on one hand the number of times they started by talking to me about their clinical outcomes.” “Almost all of your staff are not your generation … which means they have a totally different value system and a totally different prioritization of things.” “One of your real powers is to be able to help your community and its leaders understand what's happening in it. The data that you have is a huge enabler for others to be able to change policy.” Additional resources on this topic Williams' Blog To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System The EMS workforce: Critical condition!

Getting the buy-in for change in organizations is often the part with the biggest friction - How do we get around to nudge people?

How can we integrate the psychological factor to be more effective in an organizational transformation You have developed a model for change called ChangeSmart - What was missing in other models and how relevant is it in today's world? Most leadership development programs prepare people to manage business and less to drive and inspire people during times of change - what does a good leadership program should include?

Amid persistently inadequate numbers of direct care workers for resident care, long-term care administrators and staff members continue in their attempts to provide care for residents. The staffing crisis has led to regulatory issues, new sanctions from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and benchmarks for quality of care while facilities care for frail and dependent residents in the best ways possible given the circumstances. Moreover, the staffing crisis has resulted in the experience of moral distress for many direct health care workers. Moral distress occurs when health care professionals cannot act on their own moral judgment or what they believe to be right in a particular situation because of institutional or internal constraints. This podcast will feature the work and insights of GSA members Ozcan Tunalilar, PhD, and Beth Galik, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP. Dr. Tunalilar's research examines the role of organizational, contextual, and socioeconomic factors that contribute to the reproduction of inequalities in access to high-quality long-term care and in residents' experiences in the long-term care system. Dr. Galik's research has focused on care for residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, functional and cognitive assessment, and enhancement of the geriatric workforce.  Guests:  Ozcan Tunalilar, PhD, Assistant Professor, Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning, Institute on Aging, Portland State University; and Elizabeth Galik, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP, Professor and Chair, Organizational Systems and Adult Health, University of Maryland School of Nursing.

Listen to our mind-blowing conversation with Dr. Lalich and we describe in detail the process of going through Baptiste training and her explanation of how it's deliberately designed to make us into "perfect little followers" and pretty soon taking on the doctrine of the group as our own. We have learned to commit and not speak out so any red flags we see are put on a "shelf" until one day the shelf breaks and we start to untangle and question everything. Classic techniques used since the 60's and 70's birth of the Large Group Awareness Trainings (LGAT) era have been re-purposed by Baron and Baptiste Yoga which are touted as "self-help" are actually designed to cause self abuse and train the participant to abuse and gaslight themselves using the "tools" learned in the trainings. Learn how to not "cult-hop" from one high control group to another by recognizing the sign and techniques used by many different types of cult-like groups. Janja Lalich, Ph.D. is a researcher, author, and educator specializing in cults and extremist groups, with a particular focus on charismatic relationships, political and other social movements, ideology and social control, and issues of gender and sexuality. She has been a consultant to educational, mental health, business, media, and legal professionals, as well as having worked with current members, former members, and families of members of controversial groups. A former Fulbright scholar, Dr. Lalich is Professor Emerita of Sociology at California State University, Chico, where in 2007 she was awarded the Professional Achievement Honor. Also, Dr. Lalich is the founder and director of the Center for Research on Influence and Control. She received a B.A. with Honors from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She has a Master's in Human Development and a Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Systems from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California. Dr. Lalich has written and lectured extensively and is author, coauthor, or editor of numerous books, articles, and chapters. Her most recent book is Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships (Bay Tree Publishing, 2006), a fully-revised and expanded edition of her first book, Captive Hearts, Captive Minds, which has been the number-one book used by former cult members and their friends and families to better understand cult experiences and their consequences. Another of her recent publications is the critically acclaimed Bounded Choice: True Believers and Charismatic Cults (University of California Press, 2004), based on her research on the Heaven's Gate cult, the group that committed collective suicide in 1997, and her own 10+ years' experience in a political cult, the San Francisco-based Democratic Workers Party. Most importantly, this book puts forth Dr. Lalich's “bounded choice” theory, which offers a new approach for understanding the dynamics of “self-sealed” groups and the true-believer phenomenon.

#004- Dr. Patricia Dawson is a pioneer black, women surgeon who completed medical school in 1977 and surgical residency in 1982.  She was the second women to finish her surgical training at the oldest surgical residency west of the Rockies, and she was the only black resident to ever graduate from this program.  She discusses how this was an incredibly isolating experience for her, but she was not going to let that deter her from her goals.  She went on to obtain a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems.   She did her dissertation on the personal experience of black women during surgical residency where she interviewed six black women who were 5-15 years out of training.  She extrapolated 4 phases of experiences that the composite of these women experienced and discusses them each with us during this interview.  Shortly after we recorded this episode, Dr. Dawson passed away after loosing her battle with cancer.  She is truly a pioneer in many regards and is dearly missed.  The University of Washington has created the Patricia L. Dawson Endowed Faculty Fellowship, a fund established to continue in perpetuity the work of making UM Medicine a model for healthcare equity.  To contribute, visit:http://acceleratemed.org/dawsonTo get additional links for this episode or find out more, head to:http://www.voicesinmedicine.comIf you enjoyed listening, please join our family and hit subscribe today!
