At Rutgers she's observed major differences in today's students vs. those of years past (for instance: they're far more focused and specific on what they want, and very intentional about gaining the competencies and resources needed to achieve it).Céu shares her recent idea for drawing undecided students into the Healthcare Administration major by building an exploratory course based on Quint Studer's book The Calling: Why Healthcare is So Special. (“I feel healthcare is more than a job,” she says. “I'm trying to make it enticing for them to see the difference they can make through healthcare administration.”) Filled with practical takeaways, this episode will appeal to anyone seeking more understanding on what drives the next generation of Health Administration students, how to help them connect to their calling early, and how to develop and mentor them.About Céu Cirne-Neves, MPA, FACHECéu Cirne-Neves, MPA, FACHE, is a healthcare executive with more than 25 years of experience in senior level positions and has made a successful leadership transition as full-time faculty at the Rutgers University EJ Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

Learn actionable strategies for boosting your confidence as a consultant and coach with the power of self-acceptance I've been there: Big dreams for consulting and then coaching business thwarted by my fear and self-doubt. And I also have been in a space where I've felt in the flow, completely confident. What made the difference? That's what I'm going to share with you in this episode. I invited organizational psychologist, speaker, and executive coach Dr. Laura Gallaher on the show to chat about the power of self-acceptance and how this is THE path to confidence and better results. She isn't going to share that generic and unhelpful advice about “dressing the part” or just do things that are scary to you. She offers a science-based hack to confidence which is about cultivating self-acceptance of who you are and where you're actually at in your business development. In this episode, Laura shares: How being okay with who you are, flaws and all, rather than tying your worth to achievements is the antidote to self-doubt Reasons why self-acceptance accelerates growth and makes decision-making easier (vs. the hurdle that judging yourself creates) How taking credit for small progress builds self-acceptance The connection between sharing your “big dreams publicly can accelerate their achievement What you can learn from toddlers when learning new skills What happens to everyone around you when you lead with vulnerability and courage Let's be real here. When it comes to growing a consulting or coaching business, confidence is essential.

Here's a glance at this episode… [0:00:21]: Laura's unique journey from organizational psychologist to digital nomad to expert in self-acceptance and how she realized focusing on her achievements and tying her worth to it wasn't an adequate definition or approach to success.

Why finding your voice is the key that unlocks your consulting or coaching potential Finding your voice isn't just about getting on the stage as a speaker; it's the main thing you need to launch your business, create compelling content, write that book you've dreamed about, and yes, take the stage with confidence.

You know that this works because this is the advice you give others, especially if you are an organizational consultant or coach.

Our guest is David J. Friedman - Founder/CEO of CultureWise and the author of two books “Culture by Design” and “Fundamentally Different” His leadership story began in the 1980's where he cut his teeth as President of RSI, an award-winning employee benefits firm in the Philadelphia area. In 2006, RSI were the only company to win New Jersey's highest award for quality – the Governor's Award for Performance Excellence. It was their unique culture that was the foundation for their success. In 2011, David published my first book, Fundamentally Different, which is based on the insights he learned and taught throughout his leadership career. Since that time, he has led more than 600 workshops and taught more than 7,500 CEOs. In 2018, he published his second book, Culture by Design, which quickly became the “go to” manual for companies looking to truly operationalize their culture, and in 2021, he published its 2nd edition, updating his original work to address the challenges of the new remote workforce. With his team at High Performing Culture, he created the CultureWise® operating system which is now used by nearly one thousand companies across North America. In this episode of Scaling Culture, Ron and David discuss: How people are your most significant and sustainable competitive advantage Why defining fundamental behaviours is more important than defining core values The power of practicing blameless problem-solving Building impactful company rituals that will last How to select a good culture fit and how to properly integrate them into your business.

Today, Jody and I are recording live in my home office. We just finished recording our newest course for the Cockerell Academy and want to share some thoughts about the topic: Performance Excellence.  Simply put, performance excellence is implementing an environment and system that ensures the guest experience is amazing; which begins long before a guest arrives. It isn't complicated. It is intentional. It starts with hiring the right people and equipping them. When you have the right people, you can focus on training beyond the necessary hard skills. Train and equip to understand how to be a team and support one another. Cultivate an environment where they know they are valued and cared for. You can simplify the plan for achieving performance excellence to the following action points: Get the right people Get the right expectations Get the right plan Hire the right people, train them, and treat them right. This is how you develop a different culture and get different results. Don't get bored with the basics. Treat people right, train them, give them a future, and value them. The natural response is a team that values its role in providing an excellent experience for your customers. If you are planning a trip and want to work with an excellent company, reach out to Magical Vacation Planners and let them plan it for you. You can reach them at 407-442-2694.

Expert coach, sound healer, vocalist, author of Coaching for Performance Excellence, and host of The Soulfull Sound podcast, Simone Niles joins Alexa on Singing Teachers Talk. Simone's work includes empowering soul-driven creatives and entrepreneurs to generate meaning in their work and life. KEY TAKEAWAYS From the age of seven, Simone knew she wanted to be a singer and she did everything she could to pursue this dream. At 21, she moved to the UK to study. When she told her university that she wanted to teach there, they told her to go away for two years and get some experience. Two years later Simone returned with a list of all the experience she'd gained in that time. Failure is feedback. No matter what you do in life, you will fail at something. You need to take on board what that experience is showing you about yourself. What feels true to you? Getting a ‘no' builds your character more than a ‘yes'; it allows you to move and refine your character for the next time. You can be disappointed but don't let rejection stop you. You grow when you get knocked down and have the ability to get back up and go again. ABOUT THE PODCAST BAST Training is here to help singers gain the knowledge, skills and understanding required to be a great singing teacher. We can help you whether you are getting started or just have some knowledge gaps to fill through our courses and educational events.

In any field or endeavor, one of the traits of the top performers is their champion mentality. To be a champion, however, is not about some innate quality you were born with. It is rather about developing a championship mindset, one characterized by the relentless pursuit of excellence and the unwavering belief that anything is possible.  In today's episode, Tommy talks with Amber Selking, Founder and Performance Consultant at Selking Performance Group. She works to emphasize the power of mindset and leadership to drive lasting change in businesses, athletic teams, and individual lives. Her dynamic and individualized approach to enhancing performance helps clarify vision, create championship team cultures, and achieve sustainable results.  Amber talks with Tommy about what inspired her to learn about human high performance, how thoughts affect emotional and physiological states, and how culture and leadership are key to a powerful mindset transformation. Key Takeaways [03:50] - How Amber got her foot into the business and athletic worlds. [07:03] - What inspired Amber to learn about human high performance.

[37:04] - Amber's advice for business owners on developing a championship mindset. Quotes [13:07] - "Positivity does not mean acting like things are wonderful and that everything is okay right now. Positive thinking is really about anchoring your hope in a future that you truly believe will come to fruition." - Amber Selking [14:44] - "Whatever we're doing, we need to work at it with all of our hearts, with intention and purpose, because it's not about the outcomes we're achieving at the moment. It's about who we're becoming in that process." - Amber Selking [22:02] - "We have to be cognizant about what we're thinking about and how we are thinking about things knowing that those thoughts are generating new emotional states for us." - Amber Selking Links  Amber Selking on LinkedIn Selking Performance Group Building Championship Mindset Podcast Winning the Mental Game: The Playbook for Building Championship Mindsets Lou Holtz University of Notre Dame DaMarcus Beasley Dr. Rick Mcguire The Purpose Summit Connect with our hosts Mammoth Tommy on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Learn more about Mammoth Scientific's Health & Tech Fund 1 When you move beyond the point of making sure your retirement goals are on track, your investment opportunities are wider than just publicly traded funds.

Please trust me when I say that Nigel brown is well qualified to be on the show, but a story that I would love to share is actually connected to the last time that I ran into Nigel. It was about 3 months ago in San Antonio Texas at the recent SHS conference. Now as it turns out, my grandmother lives in San Antonio, and she dropped by the conference to sit in on my presentation. And following the presentation as I walked her back to her car, we came across Nigel and his team from UAB…and I kid you not, they chatted my 83 year old grandmother up for every bit of 30 minutes just making her feel like the most important person in the world! After that, we went to lunch and all she did was talk about Nigel. Every so often when I call her, she'll ask about Nigel. And when I shared this episode with her, she was so excited because it was Nigel! Now Nigel, your contributions to our show and quality people are exceptional, but the impact that you and your team had on my grandmother in such a short period of time has been priceless and for that I salute you! Here in episode #17 Nigel and I talk about his career transitions from manufacturing into the healthcare industry, the power of listening, taking the humble approach to team development, Nigel shares a perspective on how best to lead healthcare teams in their improvement efforts, he geeks out around the future innovations coming in healthcare, our shared vision for increasing the diversity of skillsets among healthcare quality people, and his thoughts on embracing change. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healthcarequalitycast/message

On this episode of the FourBlock Podcast, we are honored to be joined by former Under Secretary for Benefits in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Army Veteran Dr. Paul R. Lawrence. In conversation with FourBlock Founder Mike Abrams, Lawrence generously shares details of his background and upbringing, his military career and transition, and his post-military career in the private sector before giving us a behind the scenes look at his time as the Under Secretary for Benefits at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Lawrence talks about the priorities that he focused on as Under Secretary, including getting veterans the benefits they earned in a manner that honors their service, fiscal stewardship, and collaboration -- working more with veterans' stakeholders like VSOs, nonprofits, and others who wanted to help. A businessman, author, and passionate veteran advocate with 35 years of experience solving management problems in large, complex organizations, Lawrence also shares what he continues to do to advocate for veterans today.

General Charles Krulak coined the term "Three Block War" to describe the nature of 21st-century military service defined by peace-keeping, humanitarian aid, and full combat. But what happens next? Veterans are often unprepared to return home and begin new careers. We call this the Fourth Block.  FourBlock is a national non-profit that has supported thousands of transitioning service members across the nation in beginning new and meaningful careers.  Mike Abrams (@fourblock) is an Afghanistan veteran, founder of FourBlock, and author of two military transition books.
