Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundWatch Full Video EpisodeTodays Show Post - Our notes today will be in a different format, written by our host.Welcome to another episode of Speak Up - Effective communication.Your place for focusing on elevating our communication skills in the auto repair industry - I'm your host Craig O'Neill…. I want you to ask yourself a question today - each time you receive a notification on one of your devices:Do I need this?Do I need to do something about this RIGHT NOW?This has been my question for any number of the alerts that pop onto my screens on a daily basis. - - As I've been at war with distractions in my life. Loyal listeners have become familiar with my growing concern on the topic and I feel that I've begun to find some more balance slowly as of late and will share whats working for me.Of note - I've been reading a book titled, “Stolen Focus - Why you can't pay attention and how to think deeply again” by Johann Hari.This read was a referral from Carm Capriotto - and it's worth your attention.In our episode today, I have some thoughts on the topic of notifications - and hope to get you thinking differently on what YOU are allowing devices to compromise YOUR focus!Our Word of the Day:Frenetic: fre·net·icadjectivefast and energetic in a rather wild and uncontrolled way.Listen to this excerpt from the book, Stolen Focus - the author, Johann Hari, writes about a conversation with a friend who was getting notifications for things he didn't want… and I'll quote: “... All this frenetic digital interruption is “pulling our attention away from our thoughts,” and I think we're almost in this constant stimulus-driven, stimulus bound environment, moving from one distraction to the next.” If you don't remove yourself from that, it will "suppress whatever train of thought you had.” That is a quote from Stolen Focus - Why you can't pay attention and how to think deeply again.”The consequences of distractions are real - not just from tasks - but from our creative thoughts and even healthy mindwandering. Hari mentions in his book that “a distraction such as looking at an image from a friend pulls the average person away for up to 20 mins! Not just one! And if you look around, you'll recognize that the distractions are EVERYwhere - and we now have this habitual tendency to scan for them, in our own pockets, and on our own wrists! Look around you now - how many people do you see distracted by devices?Before you blame yourself or feel bad about this - let me state - our technological world has been engineered this way in a deliberate attempt to get more engagement from us. I will say - while I, like all modern humans, struggle with distractions, I have come to develop a few VERY simple and reasonable disciplines regarding notifications.I feel sometimes a little old-fashioned on this… but as I discussed recently in

It's been over 100 years, but there's something about the sinking of the Titanic that still fascinates us. The latest evidence, newly unearthed photographs and stories, the incredible success of the blockbuster movie, "Titanic." I mean, they've kind of refocused us on it. I've always found the story of the last hours of this supposedly unsinkable ship to be a haunting story. The people on the Titanic represented just about all the kinds of people that there are. Then I start thinking about how most of them died. At best, only a few hundred of them got into lifeboats. Many more of them went down with the ship only wearing life jackets. And, you know, there were different ways people handled those terrifying hours on that sinking ship, and it tells us a lot about what we're all really like. Only about 700 of the Titanic's 2,200 passengers survived. But what's even more tragic is that many of the 1,500 who died didn't have to die because many of the lifeboats were only half full. And those who made it aboard could hear hundreds of people in the water, crying for help. But almost all those people died - not from drowning - they were in their lifejackets. They died from hypothermia. Here's the awful truth: there were 20 lifeboats, from the Titanic, most partially empty. Only one of those 20 went back - too late for most of the people in the water. Only six of those people were saved. Most of them could have been saved if only those who had already been rescued had gone back for those who had no other chance but them. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Your Personal Titanic." Our Word for today from the Word of God comes from Ezekiel 33:6. It's about the watchman on the walls of an ancient city who sees the hostile army approaching. It says, "If the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood." God says, "If you know someone is going to die and you're in a position to do something about it, and you don't, that person's blood is on your hands." We're appalled to think that those who had been saved from the Titanic would just row off into the night, save themselves, but doing nothing about those who were dying around them. But I have to ask, "Dear God, is that us?" We've been rescued from sin's sinking ship - from an eternity without God and without hope. But are we just rowing on, enjoying our cozy lifeboat with others who are already saved, singing our lifeboat songs, going to our lifeboat committee meetings, and building a more comfortable lifeboat for those who are already saved? And oblivious sometimes to our co-workers, our neighbors, our loved ones, our friends who will die if we don't turn the lifeboat around and reach out for them and tell them about our Jesus. Maybe we're not oblivious - maybe we're just afraid to go after them, to reach out to them. Whatever the reason, the result is the same - we're saved, they're not and they're going to die and their blood will be on our hands. God's clear word in Proverbs 24:11-12 says, "Rescue those who are being led away to death. If you say, 'We knew nothing about this,' does not He who weighs the heart perceive it? Will He not repay each person according to what he has done?" God is accepting no excuses on this. He's wonderfully pulled you into His lifeboat. He's rescued you from an awful eternity. And now He has put you in the middle of some people who need to know that Jesus died for them; that He's the relationship they've been looking for their whole life. People who are destined to die eternally without Jesus if they don't find out what He did for them on the cross. You're in a position to rescue them. They're within your reach. There's still room in the lifeboat for the people around you. Please, don't leave them where they are.

Our Word of the Week is 'Motivation' so as the new week kicks off, why not hear from James and Jonny about what motivates us at the FFF, as well as how we work motivation into our sessions for the children that we coach.

As 2023 gets underway, the chatter about resolutions will persist. People want to exercise more, read more books, unplug from devices, and drink their requisite amount of water every day. For several years, we fell into the trap of making resolutions but quickly realized that that lost traction. So, we decided several years ago to switch it up from resolutions to a word or phrase of the year. Our WORD implementation has helped us both tremendously focus on that word or phrase all year, but it especially helps as a reminder when things get confusing or hazy.

Promises are gifts we can give and receive. How well are you keeping your promises to others and to God?

Integrity. We sometimes call it, “Honor,” or “Our Word.”If we say, “You have my word,” we wish for that person to believe us and trust us. Not just now, but in the future as well.Yet, Integrity is a difficult thing for young men to build in today's society. They are surrounded by peers, cultural icons, and even relatives who lie to “save their backsides.”The Bible says, “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.” Proverbs 28:6God said we could believe His Word unto salvation and everlasting life. And if our young men are to follow in the Master's footsteps, then having integrity that mirrors their Master should be a priority. Not only for themselves, but for their posterity too.For information about raising your son into a godly man, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Our Word to a thing when We desire it is just to say to it 'Be!' and it is. (Qur'an, 16:40) 'Zakariyya! We give you the good news of a boy named Yahya, a name we have given to no one else before.' He said, 'My Lord! How can I have a boy when my wife is barren and I have reached advanced old age?' He said, 'It will be so! Your Lord says, "That is easy for me to do. I created you before, when you were not anything.' (Qur'an, 19:7-9) It is He Who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The day He says 'Be!' it is. His speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the Day the Trumpet is blown, the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (Qur'an, 6:73) The Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is. (Qur'an, 2:117)

A few weeks back, and with much fanfare, Amazon launched their attempt at cracking the "social audio" nut with AMP. AMP is a new Amazon App-based product that allows users to combine speech, listener interaction and Amazon's music library to create radio-like programmes available via the Amazon AMP platform. It has been billed by some to be not only a competitor to but also a successor to traditional radio and that is the topic of this episode of Sound Business. On this show, Jim Salveson speaks to two guests on either side of the Atlantic and both with contrasting views as to what the potential could be for this new product. First Jeremy Goldman from Insider Intelligence gives his views on what the future may hold for the App, its chances of success and Amazon's future intentions. Then we'll hear from director of Folder Media (and Radio/Audio/Digital exper) Matt Deegan on why, whilst interesting, AMP is not a genuine threat to the way we consume radio.

A quick hit of Voiceworks: Sound Business today with an unusually topical focus as Jim Salveson turns his attention to Ukraine and the invasion of the country by Russian forces in the spring of 2022. In March, as part of an effort to support Ukraine's defence of its borders, the BBC announced it would be using short wave radio transmissions to deliver trustworthy news to the population of the country (and neighbouring Russia). In this episode of Voiceworks: Sound Business we delve into exactly what the BBC is doing, why it's doing it and where, throughout history, this kind of battle against propaganda has yielded positive results. To cover all that the guest on this show is Dr Kate Vigurs, A historian and author who has studied the history of Short WAve radio and its role in major conflicts.

This episode of Voiceworks: Sound Business is looking at what could be a new trend in the world of radio and podcasting: Hyper-Local Audio. For years now radio has been moving in the opposite direction, shedding locally produced content for specific locations in favour of big brands delivering high-quality network content across local licences. Could we be seeing a growth in demand for highly focused, highly targeted audio provision for communities in the UK? On this show, we speak to two people who are delivering hyper-local content to their audiences whilst also demonstrating a real hunger for that content and the value it delivers. First, we hear from Keri Jones, founder of Alfred, a new FM licence 'Alfred' broadcasting to a potential audience of just 8000 people in Shaftsbury, The Vale and Chase. More on them here: https://thisisalfred.com/ We'll also hear from Alex Whitely who is the creator and host of the Shrewsbury Biscuit Podcast delivering similar local content to a proud army of listeners in the Shrewsbury area (and beyond) more on that here: https://www.theshrewsburybiscuitpodcast.co.uk/ If you want to find out more about the world Voiceworks, working with brands, councils and communities to deliver this type of super-targeted audio content then please check out the "Our Word" section of the Voiceworks website: https://voiceworks.ai/our-work/ You can follow Voiceworks on Twitter @Voiceworksai, find Jim via @Mr_Jimbob and if you want to learn more about sound or find out how Voiceworks can help you unlock the power of audio at www.voiceworks.ai Learn more about your ad choices.
