Do you ever feel like your lesson plans are just a collection of random activities—fun in the moment but not really building toward anything? You're not alone. Many teachers, especially those working with English language learners, find themselves overwhelmed trying to fit in every domain, standard, and activity into a short block of time. The result? Lessons that feel scattered, students who walk away unclear on the purpose, and a teacher who's left wondering if any of it really stuck.In this episode of Equipping ELLs, Beth Vaucher shares a simple yet powerful framework to bring clarity and direction back into your teaching. She calls it your GPS: Goal, Personalize, Scaffold. By asking three quick questions before you plan, you can transform your lessons from disconnected to intentional, ensuring every activity builds toward language growth and student success.Beth breaks down how to set a clear goal for each lesson, why personalization is the secret ingredient to boosting student engagement, and how to choose scaffolds that support without holding students back. You'll also hear practical examples—from using tortillas to teach main idea to tying ecosystems to students' own neighborhoods—that show just how simple (and powerful) these strategies can be.Whether you're planning tomorrow's lesson or mapping out a unit, this GPS system will keep your teaching aligned, purposeful, and student-centered all year long.LINKS AND RESOURCES:Sign Up for the FREE Webinar⁠⁠⁠Join the Equipping ELLs Membership Shop our TpT Store

We're joined once again by Lisa Earle McLeod, renowned author of "Selling with Noble Purpose" and a global leader in purpose-driven business strategies. This time, Lisa dives deep into the transformative role that artificial intelligence is playing in negotiation strategy and tactics. We discuss how AI is changing the sales game—not just by giving us better tactics, but by helping us see through our customers' eyes to uncover what truly matters to them. Lisa shares fresh insights on crafting more effective negotiation approaches by leveraging AI to understand customer risks, uncover hidden pain points, and create compelling questions that drive value-based conversations. Plus, she unpacks the do's and don'ts of using AI, highlights common pitfalls, and shares a real-world story of closing a challenging deal using these cutting-edge methods. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to harness AI for more genuine, successful negotiations—while keeping the client at the heart of it all.  Outline of This Episode [00:00] AI missteps in sales negotiation. [06:00] Customer-centric discovery emphasizes ROI by highlighting competitive consequences. [08:46] AI improves business strategy by generating unexpected, insightful questions. [11:52] Use AI as a nonjudgmental coach available anytime for negotiation advice. [15:11] AI communication dos and don'ts. [18:28] Lisa's story of using AI to highlight the cost of inaction. Rethinking How We Use AI in Sales Negotiation AI tools have flooded the sales landscape, promising quick wins and smarter decisions. But, as Lisa warns, the way most sellers use AI can actually backfire. Too many reps default to self-serving prompts—focused on expressing their own value or outshining the competition—instead of truly stepping into their client's shoes. Instead, Lisa suggests using AI to uncover the risks, concerns, and goals that matter most to your buyer. For example, rather than asking, “How can I win this deal?” prompt AI with, “What risks does my client face if they don't act on my proposal?” or “What might the CFO of a large manufacturing company be worried about right now?” By doing this, AI becomes a discovery partner—not just a generator of clever closing lines. The Power of “Cost of Inaction” in Persuasion Too often, sellers build polished ROI arguments, only to watch stakeholders do nothing. Why? Highlighting what a company could lose by standing still is often far more compelling than dangling the prospect of what they might gain.  AI can be a powerful ally in quantifying and articulating these hidden risks. By prompting AI to brainstorm implication questions—“What happens if your competitors outpace you next year?”—sellers can stimulate genuine urgency within decision-makers. It's not about scare tactics; it's about helping clients confront realities they may have overlooked, with the help of AI's outside-the-box perspective. Best Practices: Do's and Don'ts for AI-Driven Negotiation Harnessing AI's power in negotiation requires more than clever prompts; it demands ethical considerations and a client-centric mindset. Lisa shares these essential ground rules: Do: Start with the Client: Frame AI prompts around your buyer's role, goals, and pains—not your own pitch. Unearth Strategic Goals: Have AI help uncover what truly matters to your client's business, even if it's unrelated to your product. Ask for Better Questions: Use AI to generate implication and discovery questions that go beyond the obvious, elevating sales conversations. Don't: Don't Overshare: Never input confidential or proprietary information into public AI tools—treat them as you would social media. Don't Be Self-Serving: Avoid focusing AI on “how to win” at the expense of the client's needs—this erodes trust and effectiveness. Don't Sound Like a Robot: Use AI's polished language carefully. While it's great for proposals, it can sound canned in conversation. Personalize and adapt its suggestions. Transparency is also key. If you use AI to prepare, be open about it: “I put your profile into AI to think more deeply about your goals—here's what came up. How does that resonate with you?” Such honesty builds authentic rapport. Flipping the Script and Winning Deals To prove the methodology, Lisa shares her own recent experience: her firm faced a client paralyzed by indecision—the status quo seemed easier than change. By using AI to map out the tangible and long-term risks of doing nothing, and then presenting these “costs of inaction” back to the client, the conversation shifted. The client moved from hesitant to decisive, signing a high-value contract immediately. The lesson? When sales teams use AI to spotlight what's at stake for the buyer, outcomes transform. Sales negotiation isn't just about tactics—it's about deep discovery, empathy, and helping clients make the best decisions. AI, when harnessed thoughtfully, amplifies a seller's consultative skills.  Connect with Lisa Earle McLeod Lisa Earle McLeod on LinkedIn  Lisa Earle McLeod  Connect With Paul Watts  LinkedIn Twitter    Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com

Ready to get on my email list?

We kick off the episode with a heartfelt invitation for you to join my email list, where I share faith-based content that complements our podcast discussions. I have something exciting in the works that I can't wait to share with you, and being on the email list will ensure you're the first to know! The inspiration for today's topic came from a recent brokerage meeting I hosted, where real estate agents shared their goals and the obstacles they face in the industry. A brilliant agent made a profound statement that resonated with me: “Can we really call them obstacles if they're just challenges of being in this industry?” This thought-provoking question led me to reflect on how we often amplify our challenges, viewing them as unique obstacles rather than recognizing them as part of the job. Throughout the episode, I share my personal experiences with the stress of entrepreneurship, particularly my ongoing struggle with naming my new project. I emphasize that while challenges are inherent in entrepreneurship, the benefits of pursuing our passions far outweigh these temporary hurdles. Loved this episode? Share it with a friend!

Leveraging AI to be a more efficient content creator and the role of keywords in today's SEO landscape with Aleka Shunk. ----- Welcome to episode 530 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Aleka Shunk from Aleka's Get Together and Keywords with Aleka. She also happens to be one of our FBP experts!  How to Personalize AI for Better Content with Aleka Shunk In this conversation, Bjork and Aleka discuss the evolving landscape of SEO and content creation, particularly focusing on the role of keywords and the integration of AI tools like ChatGPT. They explore how keywords remain essential in SEO, despite changes in content creation approaches. Aleka will also share insights on how to use AI to streamline content creation processes, enhance brand collaborations, and personalize interactions for better outputs. The discussion emphasizes the importance of adapting to AI advancements and leveraging them to improve efficiency and creativity in content creation. Three episode takeaways: Keywords are still relevant, but AI can be your co-pilot: Don't ditch those keywords! They're still super important for getting your content found. Think of AI as your super-efficient sidekick that can help you with everything from brainstorming ideas and creating outlines to finding new content opportunities. Personalize your AI for pro-level results: Just like you wouldn't give every human the same instructions, don't treat AI tools the same! The more you personalize your interactions and even create custom GPTs for specific tasks, the better and more relevant your AI-generated content will be.  Keeping it real in the age of AI: AI can seriously speed up your workflow and help you refine your content, saving you a ton of time, but remember, the human touch is what makes your content truly unique and engaging!

If you've ever felt like your messaging is falling flat or that your timing is always off, this conversation is your blueprint for modernizing outreach.Meet Jean-Philippe Schepens van ThielJean-Philippe is the founder and CEO of AxonJay AI, a company helping B2B sellers harness the power of predictive signals to find the right opportunities at the right time. With over 15 years in data-driven sales and marketing, including a successful exit to Dun & Bradstreet, JP is now on a mission to help sales teams break through the noise and win deals with precision.Sales Outreach at an Inflection PointBuyers are bombarded by thousands of messages a week, most of which they delete without reading. Jean-Philippe believes we've hit a critical point in the evolution of sales, where volume no longer wins relevance and timing does. Instead of relying on old data and gut instinct, modern sales teams need to know when to reach out, what to say, and why it matters to the buyer right now.Build Your Sales CocktailJean-Philippe compares outreach success to making the perfect cocktail: timing, targeting, and content must all be in balance. One missing or outdated ingredient ruins the mix. Using AI, his company translates billions of daily data points into actionable signals then helps reps validate and fine-tune their approach using real-time context.Let AI Enhance, Not Replace, the Human ElementContrary to fear-mongering about AI replacing jobs, JP argues that AI will actually make sales more human. With technology handling research and signal aggregation, salespeople can focus on high-value conversations, empathy, and relationship-building.“It's not about more data. It's about the right data.”“Outreach isn't dead—but it's evolved.”“You need the right message at the right time.” “I want you to come to me with stuff proving.”Lessons from the FieldStop using last year's data to make today's decisions.Think beyond single signals and build context with a cocktail of signals.Use AI to filter your target list down to the 10% who are ready now.Personalize messaging with current, relevant activity not guesses.Combine automation with human feedback to improve results over time.ResourcesLearn more at Axonjay.aiConnect with Jean-Philippe via email (JP@axonjay.ai) or through the websiteImprove your outreach and sales game join our Sales Mastermind ClassThinking of launching a podcast?

In this episode of the Lupus Science and Medicine Podcast, host Dr. Anna Wolska speaks with Dr. Amerie Grammer about how genetic breakthroughs are paving the way for personalized lupus care. Researchers have identified distinct “genetic endotypes,” patterns of gene activity that explain why lupus affects people differently, including symptoms like kidney disease. These insights could one day enable more precise, targeted treatments. Tune in as we unpack what genetic endotypes are, what they reveal about lupus, and how this research brings us closer to truly individualized care for everyone living with the disease.   Read the paper published in LSM: https://doi.org/10.1136/lupus-2025-001526

Are your compensation strategies sabotaging employee engagement? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, host Peter Winick sits down with Stephan Meier, Chair of the Management Division at Columbia Business School and a leading voice in behavioral economics. Stephan shares insights from his journey—from academia to the Federal Reserve to corporate advisory—exploring how behavioral science can reshape the way organizations understand motivation, incentives, and employee experience. They dive into why traditional, money-centric reward systems fall short—and how many leaders still default to outdated playbooks. Stephan challenges organizations to look beyond perks and pay, and instead design work environments that leverage autonomy, purpose, and learning. The conversation introduces the concept behind his new book, "The Employee Advantage", and draws a powerful parallel: Treat employees like customers. Personalize their experience. Listen deeply. Improve constantly. This episode offers practical, research-backed ideas that any leader can implement to drive performance, engagement, and retention. If you think a ping-pong table is the answer to your culture problems, think again. Three Key Takeaways: • Money isn't enough – Beyond a certain point, financial incentives have limited impact on motivation. Intrinsic drivers like autonomy, purpose, and learning matter more. • One-size-fits-all doesn't work – Just as customer experience is personalized, employee experience should be too. Engagement improves when organizations tailor motivation strategies to individual needs. • Culture is built through systems – Perks like ping-pong tables won't fix disengagement. Real impact comes from designing systems that listen to employees and support continuous improvement. If Stephan Meier's insights on behavioral economics and humanizing the workplace sparked your interest, you'll want to check out this powerful conversation with Ryan McCarty and Mark Goulston. While Stephan focused on the science behind motivation and engagement, Ryan and Mark dive into the heart of it—how purpose, empathy, and service can transform leadership and culture. It's a natural next step in rethinking what truly drives people at work. Discover how servant leadership can elevate your impact and deepen connection across your organization: Listen to the episode.

If you're serious about building a high-trust, high-retention culture, personalization matters. But how do you scale those handwritten notes, thoughtful gifts, and one-on-one moments without burning yourself—or your team—out? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through a step-by-step framework to institutionalize care inside your culture. I'll show you how to move from random acts of kindness to intentional rhythms of significance that don't just look good—they build loyalty and attract better talent. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The leadership challenge: how to personalize value adds without burning out. [01:00] Personalization vs. Automation – Why automated systems can't replace intentional human touchpoints. [01:30] Step 1: Shift the Mindset – From occasional gestures to systemized care moments. [02:00] Step 2: Create a Shared Playbook – Give your team a menu of high-touch actions to draw from: Handwritten notes Milestone cards Book gifts Welcome kits Video shoutouts [03:00] Step 3: Assign Ownership – Build a “care team” and give them freedom, budget, and responsibility to lead the rhythm. [03:30] Step 4: Tie It to Culture – Reinforce your values through the touchpoints. Show people what “living the mission” looks like. [04:30] Step 5: Track It – Use a Google Sheet, Trello board, or CRM tab to log every gesture, who received it, and why. [05:30] Final Shift – You're not scaling volume. You're scaling intentionality—doing the right thing for the right people at the right time. [06:00] Final Challenge – Define your five core touchpoints. Then pick one way to systematize them this week. Key Takeaways Systemize the Heartbeat – Make personalized leadership part of your culture's rhythm, not an afterthought. Give the Team a Menu – Most people want to care—they just need ideas and structure. Build a Culture of Care – Highlight moments that align with your values. Make it part of the identity. Track It to Scale It – Thoughtful doesn't mean chaotic. Structure creates sustainability. Lead with Intentionality – You don't need more volume. You need more moments that actually matter. In a world full of automation and shortcuts, the leaders who lead with care always stand out—and they build teams that last. Want help creating a high-touch leadership rhythm inside your team?

In this deeply moving and insight-rich episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra welcomes Sara Hardwick, the Community Relationship Strategist at the Gift•ology Group and steward of the late John Ruhlin's enduring legacy. What begins as a conversation about gifting quickly unfolds into a masterclass in human connection, spiritual resilience, and the transformative power of long-game generosity.Sara shares her unexpected journey into this world of relational marketing—how a nudge from her college roommate and a single Google search led her to John's work, and how her bold outreach blossomed into a mentorship, a career, and a calling. Chris and Sara reflect on how the principles of Beyond Gift•ology are not just business strategies—they're spiritual frameworks for living well, loving deeply, and leading with purpose.The episode pays tribute to John Ruhlin, a father, husband, and business visionary who turned gifting into an art form and relationship-building into an enterprise. John passed away in 2024, but his wisdom—"Relationships can take you places marketing can't"—lives on in the systems, stories, and spirit that Sara now helps shepherd to the world.Together, Chris and Sara unpack practical strategies from Beyond Gift•ology: how to build a business based on Return on Relationship (ROR), how to gift without branding or ego, and how to become what Adam Grant calls a “strategic giver”—someone who gives generously and wisely without burning out.They explore the nuances between swag and soul, between a gift that gathers dust and a gift that transforms a relationship, and between a one-off act of kindness and a lifestyle of sustained generosity. Sara also speaks vulnerably about her faith journey, how her relationship with God guides her every decision, and how grief, gratitude, and giving are all connected.Chris draws parallels between his own work at the dinner table and John's commitment to elevating relationships through thoughtful gestures. They explore how tiny, consistent acts—handwritten notes, engraved knives, warm introductions—create ripple effects that build not just revenue, but legacy.Whether you're a founder, a sales leader, a service-based professional, or simply someone who wants to live more intentionally in your relationships, this episode offers a generous mix of soul and strategy. It's a reminder that business doesn't have to be cold, marketing doesn't have to be manipulative, and giving—when done well—can be your greatest competitive edge.What You'll Hear in This Episode➤ A Powerful Opening TributeChris opens with a personal story of how a 20-minute call with John Ruhlin in 2017 changed his life. That call turned into a two-and-a-half-hour conversation, a lasting mentorship, and the permission to go “all-in” on human connection.➤ Sara's Origin Story: From College Gifting Club to Gift•ology LeaderYou'll hear how Sara's best friend Chloe encouraged her to Google “gift giving company”—a search that led to John Ruhlin's work and, eventually, to Sara founding the internet's largest gifting community while still in college.➤ The Long Game of Generosity: ROR > ROISara and Chris dive deep into the difference between Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Relationships (ROR). Sara explains why short-term thinking in business keeps us stuck—and how giving first, without expecting anything in return, can actually become your greatest long-term growth engine.➤ Gifting as Strategy, Not SwagSara outlines the key rules of strategic gifting:It's not about you—it's about the recipient. No logos, ever. Personalize for their life, not your brand. Love on the inner circle—spouses, kids, even the family dog. Focus on “practical luxuries” that create 5,475+ moments of thoughtfulness over time.➤ The Rise of the Rich Relationship SocietySara introduces the R.I.C.H. framework:Reciprocal Influential Connected HumbleShe shares how this system is designed to help entrepreneurs and service-based professionals build referral-based businesses rooted in trust, warmth, and mutual growth.➤ Jesus, Dinner Parties, and the Divine Power of a KnifeIn one of the most personal moments, Sara credits her faith—and specifically, her renewed relationship with Jesus—as the compass guiding her work. They connect the dots between Jesus' Last Supper, dinner tables as sacred community spaces, and how something as simple as a personalized kitchen knife can become a legacy of love.➤ Beyond the Business Tactic: Legacy as the Ultimate ROIThe episode closes with a powerful reminder: while gifting is a strategy, true generosity is a posture of the heart. Sara shares that she's not just playing for business success—she's playing for eternity. Key TakeawaysGenerosity isn't a transaction—it's a transformation. Strategic gifting isn't about getting something back immediately. It's about creating meaningful moments that compound over time.Your swag isn't a gift—it's a billboard. The most powerful gifts are useful, personal, and logo-free.Business is human-to-human. In a world overrun with AI, algorithms, and advertising, it's the relationships built at your dinner table—not your Instagram grid—that truly move the needle.Legacy is built in the little things. A handwritten note. A kitchen knife. A prayer. A hug. These are the moments people remember. Links & ResourcesBeyond Gift•ology by John Ruhlin – Buy the bookLearn more about the Rich Relationship Society – giftologygroup.comContact Sara Hardwick – sara@giftologygroup.comConnect with Sara on LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/sarahardwickGiftology (Original Book) – Buy here

When you search online for ways to live a healthy life, you're bombarded by charismatic speakers, some with medical degrees or PhDs, promising miracle cures. From cancer treatments to fat-burning morning rituals and an endless array of supplements claiming to unlock the fountain of youth, the noise is overwhelming. Some of these claims contain a grain of truth; others are pure fiction. But in nearly every case, they distract from what truly matters—focusing on minor details that won't meaningfully impact your health tomorrow, next year, or even a decade from now. The fundamentals of health, fitness, and longevity may not be flashy, but they are essential. In this week's podcast, we hear from a PhD researcher and educator whose work focuses on healthspan and longevity. Listen and learn: Why the science community often lacks the communication and marketing skills for their ideas How quickly simply-sounding health data can be misinterpreted The real risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) and what to do about it Why your health in later life is often the compounding of small behaviors over years or decades Links: www.rachelepojednic.com @rachelepojednic About Our Guest: Dr. Rachele Pojednic is a researcher specializing in human performance and healthy aging, serving as the Director of Scientific Research at Restore Hyperwellness and a faculty member in Stanford's Program in Human Biology.
