In this episode of The Inquisitor Podcast, host Marcus Cauchi speaks with Michael Davis-Marks, a veteran of the Royal Navy who commanded a nuclear-powered submarine and now focuses on leadership development and advocating for the veteran community. They discuss decision-making under pressure, the unique transferable skills veterans bring to civilian life, and the critical differences between traditional and effective leadership models like servant leadership. The conversation highlights the importance of training, teamwork, delegation, building trust, and fostering a culture where people feel valued and empowered to do their best work. Michael Davis-Marks: Spent 36 years in the Royal Navy, primarily as a submariner, including commanding a nuclear-powered submarine. Served in the British Embassy during 9-11. Since leaving the Navy 13 years ago, he has focused on leadership development and culture. He is also the managing editor of TheVeteran.uk, a publication that gives voice to the veteran community. His mission is to amplify the lived experience of veterans, challenge outdated stereotypes, and advocate for what armed forces veterans can offer to organisations, employers, and society. Key Discussion Points: Veterans as a Valuable Asset: Veterans possess extraordinary transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork, discipline, and commitment, which can be enormously helpful to organisations and society as a whole. There are approximately 2.2 million veterans in the UK, about a million of whom are of working age, representing a significant pool of talent. Challenging Stereotypes: The common stereotype of military people as "Colonel Blimp" or a "shouty sergeant" is inaccurate for the vast majority of veterans. Veteran Mindset: Many veterans, including Michael, don't initially realise how much they have to offer civilian life due to a self-effacing mindset developed through military training that prioritises the team over the individual. Decision Making Under Stress: The military trains individuals to remain calm and think clearly in high-pressure situations. The ability to make good decisions under stress is crucial and can be developed through training and building resilience. Leadership Defined: Leadership is not about telling people what to do. It's about motivating and inspiring people, helping them become better versions of themselves. Servant Leadership: This model posits that the leader is there to serve the people subordinate to them, helping them realise their full potential. It's about looking after the people in your charge, not just being in charge. Delegation vs. Abdication: Leaders who spend their time "doing" are stealing learning opportunities and growth from their people. Empowering people to work things out for themselves, rather than always providing the answer, is crucial for development. Michael's rule was "don't bring me problems, bring me solutions". Allowing people to "have a go," even if they make mistakes in a safe environment, fosters learning. Creating Conditions for Trust: Trust begins with the leader's self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and empathy. It is developed by assigning low-risk tasks initially, being a mentor and coach, gently nudging rather than directing, and providing encouragement and positive feedback. Leadership is Trainable: While some may be "born leaders," leadership skills can be taught and developed through training and practical experience. Openness to feedback and the realisation that one is not perfect are key to improvement. The Staircase of Learning: This concept describes the progression from unconscious incompetence (not knowing what you don't know) through conscious incompetence and conscious competence to unconscious competence (second nature). Training and repetition are critical to moving through these stages and building resilience. Continuous Improvement: In the military, standard operating procedures were changed "all the time" because you can't stand still; "every day is a school day". Agility of thought is essential because plans often don't survive first contact. The Leader's Role: The leader's job is to create the conditions for their people to do their best work. Delegating tasks to competent people allows the leader to step back, maintain a strategic view, and avoid becoming a bottleneck or single point of failure. The Importance of People: People are the most important asset in any organisation, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Treat them as people. A high staff retention rate is often a sign of a happy and well-led company. People frequently leave jobs because of their boss, particularly if the boss prevents them from doing their best work. Beating people does not improve morale. Advice for New Managers: "Get Off Your Arse" (GOYA) is crucial advice. New managers should spend their initial time listening, walking around, asking curious questions about what people do, what they like/dislike, and what can be improved. Taking notes shows you are listening and helps you remember. Getting out and talking to people makes them feel important and that they belong. This approach should be routine, not just for the first few days. Lesson for a Younger Self: Michael would tell his 23-year-old self that he knows much less than he thinks and is surrounded by people who can help. He would advise working on relationships with others to learn and grow together as a team, emphasising that people are the most important aspect in everything.

In this episode we are diving deep into a topic that so many of us can relate to: breaking free from unavailable people, letting go of people pleasing, and embracing the joy of saying no.And who better to explore this with than the incredible Natalie Lue. If you've ever found yourself stuck in toxic relationship patterns, bending over backward to please others, or struggling to set boundaries, this episode is for you. Natalie is the author of Mr. Unavailable and the Fallback Girl, a book that completely changed the way I see relationships and emotional availability. It was actually one of the first books that got me investigating why we're drawn to emotionally unavailable people and why we stay, even when we know it's not serving us.In this episode, we unpack why we get caught in these cycles, how to recognise when someone is emotionally unavailable, and most importantly, how to break free. So, if you've ever felt like you're always the one giving, waiting, or hoping for change, this is your sign to step into your power.

In a crazy and failing attempt to divert attention away from his own guilt, Keir Starmer wants to blame Amazon for selling knives for the slaughter of the innocents in Southport! It's disgusting to spin the story like this but the Mainstream media are complicit in this foul act as they make it the talking point of the day! The establishment often proposes superficial solutions like banning knife sales, but is this truly the answer? I explore the recent tragic events in Southport and why these measures fail to address the underlying issues. Is this just another diversion tactic to avoid holding key institutions accountable? I scrutinize Keir Starmer's role, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), and whether the public is being told the full story. Why aren't we addressing systemic problems, social failures, immigration and gaps in law enforcement? This debate raises questions about personal responsibility, societal influences, and the erosion of trust in our leaders and justice system.

Welcome to part 2 of the powerful series, "Emotional Whiplash: The Betrayal of the Black Woman." In this episode, Brig's diving into the emotional rollercoaster that many of us face when expectations clash with reality. So often we keep getting surprised when people show us who they truly are. It's time to stop acting brand new and start understanding the formula fallacy that keeps us tied to false expectations. Join Brig as she unpacks the broken formula we've inherited, one that convinces us that if we just do things right, others will reciprocate. But this formula is designed to fail us, keeping us in a cycle of self-betrayal and emotional whiplash. From relationships to work environments, we explore how this fallacy manifests and the toll it takes on our health and well-being. Don't miss this empowering discussion that not only identifies the problem but also sets the stage for transformative solutions.

Are you talking with the wrong people? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. King Saul is freaked out right now. He glared down at an inevitable war with his two great enemies, Achish and David. And in his despair, he will do exactly what he shouldn't. Let's read verses 6-7: And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets. Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a medium at En-dor.” — 1 Samuel 28:6-7 Are you talking with the wrong people? In Desperation, We Make Devastating Choices Saul's fear drove him to desperation, and in that desperation, he made a devastating choice. This decision not only disobeyed God's orders (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) but also disobeyed his own order and reflected his unwillingness to listen to God in his anxiety and impatience. We often do the same, don't we? When life presses in and we feel anxious, we can seek answers in all the wrong places. We might turn to: People: People who have opinions that are opposed to God. Friends: Friends who only tell us what we want to hear. Feelings: Your own feelings that lead you astray. Time To Evaluate So today, I want you to evaluate: Have you deafened your ears to God and turned to consulting the wrong people? Instead, try this: Talk with God in prayer about your issues. Dig into God's Word by reading Scripture. Seek counsel from God-fearing people. Just so you know, consulting mediums are not the right medium. #SeekGodFirst, #GodlyWisdom, #RightVoices Ask This: Who are you turning to for advice when you're anxious—God, His Word, or people who may lead you astray? How can you ensure you listen to God's voice rather than letting fear guide your decisions? Do This: Consult with God and his people. Pray This: Lord, help me to seek Your wisdom above all else and trust Your timing, even when I feel anxious or afraid. Guard my heart from turning to the wrong voices and guide me to listen to You alone. Amen. Play This: God Who Listens.

It is Monday on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast. In this episode, the RSMS crew talk about Donald Trump winning the primary election in South Carolina. During his speech, Trump said that black people relate to him because he is being discriminated against as much as black people. Trump also referred to President Obama, not by name but as the “black president.” Also, people are sad about the Wendy Williams documentary that premiered this weekend. It is said that Williams does not look like herself and it is sad to see her the way she is right now. Over the weekend, the 2024 Urban One Honors aired.

Architect Andrew Schachman and multidisciplinary artist and educator Faheem Majeed are two of the four artists who, along with poet avery r. young and sculptor Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford, co-lead Chicago's Floating Museum. As its name suggests, the Floating Museum does not have a brick-and-mortar fixed space; rather it creates inventive projects through which to explore and strengthen the relationship between art, community, architecture and public institutions in sites throughout Chicago. One example of past Floating Museum projects is “Cultural Transit Assembly,” which activated not only the Chicago Transit Authority's green line but also parks and spaces along its track. Some green line CTA cars served as pop-up performance spaces and galleries, and giant movable sculptures as well as community-art events could be spied from the train throughout its route, inviting riders to visit neighborhoods that perhaps were new to them. Another example is “River Assembly,” which over a month saw an industrial barge dock at different sites along the Chicago River, bringing a host of performances and interactive exhibits to several neighborhoods, celebrating the entire city as one giant museum campus, all corners of which have always been hubs of culture and art.In a sign of the Floating Museum's cultural influence not only citywide but also nationally and abroad, its four leaders were tapped to be the co-directors of the fifth Chicago Architecture Biennial, one of only two architecture biennials in the world, the other being the century-old Biennial in Venice, Italy. Here Faheem and Andrew describe the municipal savvy and community trust they had to cultivate for the Floating Museum and its many projects to move throughout Chicago. They also discuss how as a quartet they manage a growing institution that must remain nimble and responsive enough to continually engage with its home city. https://floatingmuseum.org/

Scott Christopher's career spans iconic Latter-day Saint movies such as 'The Best Two Years' and 'Mobsters & Mormons', to appearing on iconic mainstream shows like 'NCIS' and 'Modern Family'. He is also the author of several books including 'The Levity Effect' and 'People People'.I wanted to speak to Scott about his experiences working on films that I grew up with that were unique to my Latter-day Saint community, but also hear his thoughts on where Hollywood is at currently. I also wanted to delve into his important work on levity and how it can improve our discipleship and our secular pursuits. Some highlights from this episode include where Latter-day Saint cinema disappeared to, what it's like to work on recognisable sets like Modern Family, how Scott helped a failing company become top in its field by having them tell jokes, and much more!Follow For All The Saints on social media and sign up to the newsletter for updates and inspiring weekly messages:For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more.

That's the sum total of much of today's show. In all seriousness, the GOP social media scene (which is not reality) was on fire all weekend long on stories of infidelity, inappropriate public behavior, and interview answers from Trump on gender and abortion that Stigall tries to handle in a nuanced way. Of course, in 2023 - political nuance is mostly dead. But he soldiers on nevertheless. Plus, a vicious and cold blooded killing in Vegas, John Fetterman further erodes any shred of dignity left in Congress, and Russell Brand is accused of rape all of the sudden. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To learn more about job search strategy for F-1 international students, visit https://www.icaway.com/ In this episode, we will be discussing how to effectively use work experience gained outside of the US to secure job opportunities in America. Contrary to popular belief, US employers are interested in more than just work experience gained within the US. I know this firsthand because when I first arrived in the US back in 2014, many people told me that my ten years of work experience in Thailand wouldn't be valuable here. Despite that, I was able to secure a six-figure salary job using that same experience. I'm here to share with you how you can do the same. First, it's important to be your own advocate. Have confidence in your skills and abilities, and believe that you can be a valuable asset to a potential employer. Next, focus on effectively highlighting your international work experience on your resume. Use the A-P-R method: Action, People, and Result. The first element is Action - Action refers to what you did, for example, managing a project that impacted 3,000 employees nationally. Be as specific as possible, and consider mentioning the purpose of the project and your contribution to it. The second element is People - People refers to who you worked with, such as your supervisors, coworkers, or your clients. Showcasing your ability to work well with others is a common skill employers look for, so make sure to include that if it's relevant. The last and most important element is the result. Result refers to the outcome of your actions, and it's ideal to provide data or statistics to support it. For example, you could mention that the project resulted in 100% user acceptance. Be sure to highlight any major achievements you accomplished in your previous roles. It's important to focus on skills and experience that are relevant to the industry you're targeting, regardless of where the experience was gained. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/icaway/support
Crystal Rose in her own words: “I am Crystal Hudelson (she/her) a cishet (both cisgender and heterosexual) gender Black woman I am a foster youth who was brought up by the state. This gives me incredible empathy for marginalized people which is what led me to my work with Climbers of Color (CoC). I am in love with sport climbing (specifically outdoor leading). Certifications: The American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) apprentice rock guide, Single Pitch Instructor All of my climb training focuses on being a solid leader outside on rock. I used to co-host Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC - Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) climb nights for Climbers of Color at Stone Gardens Bellevue since it started there. Climbers of Color opened up a platform for people like me to connect and teach with the climbing community in the closest way to my heart: Black people, people of color, and marginalized communities. As my involvement grew, I became part of a new branch of CoC: outdoor rock climbing instruction. My partner and I developed all the instructional programs for rock at CoC and strive to make each course a welcoming, equitable, and informational experience for each participant. CoC is the entity who has mentored me through the AMGA certification process and trusts I will do a good job. They have placed a confidence in me I have known few other places and I am grateful for it. Within the BIPOC climbing community, I have seen a wide array of abilities and experience. I want you to know that we see you because we are looking. We see you and want to honor you by creating a strong climbing community who shares joy with one another. Bringing one's culture and ancestral essence into climbing is what will allow us to enter the climbing community as our whole selves. Fun facts about me: My ancestry is Haitian and Irish. By day I work as an aircraft mechanic in the avionics department on heavy jets and my partner and I are building our first climbing wall in our backyard.

People, People, People (ft. Howard Behar, Former President, Starbucks)When defining a life, it's all about how you treat the people you serveOPENING QUOTE:“From the very beginning, I figured out almost from day one that it wasn't about coffee. It was about people, because of the people that I met, and how they talked about the coffee, and how they talked about each other.”- Howard BeharGUEST BIO:Howard Behar is hailed as a hero of conscious capitalism, a passionate advocate for leading with purpose, and a devoted student and teacher of the servant leadership model. Howard served for over 21 years as president of Starbucks North America, then as founding president of Starbucks International. During his tenure, he grew Starbucks from only 28 stores to over 15,000, spanning five continents.Post-retirement, Howard has since been serving as a speaker, advisor, mentor, and bestselling author of multiple books, including "It's Not About the Coffee: A Guide to Leading by Putting People First." Show Links:WebsiteTwitterLinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[0:00] - “Caught It, Not Taught It”The power of being led by exampleHoward recalls seeing his parents treat each other and all the people they served with empathy, compassion, and respect. Simply by watching them, he formed his own values about putting people first. In life and business, we should never underestimate the power we have just by living our values and letting others witness.[21:08] - Howard's Best and Worst Decisions at StarbucksGetting real about smart choices and bad mistakesHoward says the best decision he ever made at Starbucks was the decision to join. If he hadn't been prepared for that opportunity when it came, his life would have turned out very differently. His biggest mistakes? “Keeping somebody too long.” He says that the most damaging decisions at companies are almost always people decisions, not product decisions— proving once again that it really is all about people.[28:56] - Howard Defines Servant LeadershipPutting words to the values Howard's lived by“As leaders, our primary job is to help people achieve what they want out of their lives, help them grow as human beings, to grow as professionals. When we do that, then they want to serve us. When we serve our people first, they innately want to serve us. They want to serve the organization because they feel respected, they feel like they've been treated with dignity, they feel like they're valued, they feel like you care about them, they feel like you love them, they feel like you trust them. All the things that go on in a family.”[52:56] - Marriage, Parenting & BusinessThe shared secret to making them all workHoward speaks of Microsoft, and how their new leader has made them a company centered on technology to a company centered on people. Empathy and listening, just as they do in a marriage, have given Microsoft new life. The things that work in business also often work in life.[54:57] - Live a Life of IntentionHoward's parting advice“If you don't know where you're going, any path will get you there.” Howard leaves us with the counsel to spend time figuring out what we want out of this life, writing it down, and setting goals for yourself to achieve it. That doesn't just apply to work. What do you want out of your family? What do you want out of your marriage? What do you want out of your values? Live with intention, knowing that you can erase and rewrite any time as those values change.RESOURCES:[1:18] It's Not About the Coffee, by Howard Behar[4:24] Ed Mylett's Website[43:04] Jim Collins' BHAG Concept[45:00] The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen CoveyFollow Howard:WebsiteTwitterLinkedInFollow Paul:Keynote Speaking WebsitePlaymakers PodcastThe Power of Playing OffenseLinkedInFacebookTwitterInstagramYoutubeSHOW PARTNER:The WHY InstituteAre you ready to find your ‘why'?
