Kindness is often treated like a weakness. But what if it is actually a survival skill that can help us manage stress, interrupt negative thoughts, and reclaim our power?Nicole Phillips, founder of Kindness Is Contagious and host of The Kindness Podcast, which Oprah Magazine recognized as one of the top happiness podcasts, joins Women Road Warriors hosts Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro to reveal how intentional kindness transformed her habits, marriage, family, and outlook on life.A breast cancer survivor, recovering alcoholic, former hospital chaplain and television journalist, Nicole brings extraordinary warmth and lived wisdom to this conversation. She has spoken at more than 200 events, reaching over 30,000 people, and has been featured by NBC Nightly News, the Hallmark Channel, People Online, Reader's Digest and Woman's World. She is the author of five books, including The Negativity Remedy.Nicole's journey began with an unexpected encounter with a young mother at a public swimming pool. One simple act of generosity sparked a powerful personal transformation—and a kindness movement. Within a year of intentionally looking for and practicing kindness, Nicole had quit drinking and smoking, lost 30 pounds, renewed her relationship with her husband, and changed the atmosphere in her home.Nicole explains why negativity may seem more prevalent when “the worse is simply louder.” She also reveals how confirmation bias, judgment and social media algorithms can reinforce negative thinking—and how we can train ourselves to see more of the goodness that is still all around us.In this empowering conversation, discover:• How kindness can reshape automatic thoughts and negative beliefs • Nicole's “worry, hurry and jury” pattern—and how to interrupt it • Why the first thought may be automatic, but the next thought is where your power lives • A simple 24-hour exercise for developing a kindness mindset • How to practice self-kindness and stop destructive inner criticism • Why the Platinum Rule can be more compassionate than the Golden Rule • How asking “What else could be true?” can prevent fear from becoming panic • The difference between healthy perspective and toxic positivity • How to feel the pain of life without feeding the panic • Why paying attention may be more powerful than simply paying kindness forwardListen now and discover why kindness is not passive or powerless.

In this episode, Eric Thompson interviews Larry Kendall about the fourth principle of Ninja Selling: Connect and Communicate. Larry explains that great communication begins with connection. The best communicators create a sense of trust through what he calls a "non-anxious presence," making the conversation about the other person rather than themselves. By asking thoughtful questions, listening deeply, and adapting to clients' communication styles, Ninjas help clients gain clarity and make confident decisions. The conversation explores the Platinum Rule, the importance of asking rather than telling, and the sequence of connection, foundational, diagnostic, and closing questions. Larry also shares one of his favorite coaching tools, the "magic wand" question, and the personal story of how asking that question helped him and his wife discover and ultimately purchase their dream home. Key Takeaways Great communication starts by creating connection before trying to communicate information. Asking questions is more powerful than telling because it builds trust, uncovers needs, and creates clarity. Match the other person's communication style, personality, and learning modality to build rapport. Follow the sequence of connection, foundational, diagnostic, and closing questions. The "magic wand" question helps people think freely and uncover what they truly want. Focus on helping clients make great decisions rather than trying to sell them. Memorable Quotes "Connect first, then communicate." "Treat others the way they want to be treated." "Asking is better than telling." "It matters who says it." "If you could wave your magic wand…" "The market is the bad guy. We're on the seller's team."

Loving others the way Jesus loves us is not simply a matter of trying harder. It begins with understanding where that kind of love actually comes from. Jesus describes His own heart as gentle and humble, and He invites the weary and burdened to come to Him before they have it all together. Taking His yoke means walking alongside Him in a lifelong process of discipleship, not just modifying outward behavior. Going through the motions without inward transformation can quietly produce cynicism, resentment, and spiritual numbness over time. The example of Paul shows what is possible when someone truly encounters Jesus and allows that relationship to reshape them from the inside out. Real love for others flows from a heart that has been changed by closeness to Christ, not from willpower or performance.

Being a member of a church is far more than attending on Sundays. It means actively practicing love within a local body of believers, following the command Jesus gave on the night before His crucifixion: love one another as I have loved you. Jesus modeled this love through humble service, washing His disciples' feet and loving them faithfully to the very end. The standard He set is not the Golden Rule but something greater, loving others the way He has loved us. When a congregation lives this out consistently, the world takes notice. Our love for one another is one of the most powerful testimonies we have that Jesus is Lord.

Episode Description Episode Title: What a Daughter's Breast Cancer Taught Her Dad About Life What does a father learn when his daughter is diagnosed with breast cancer? In this deeply moving episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling welcomes back award-winning customer service consultant and author, Bob Furniss, for a conversation that is as heartfelt as it is transformational. Bob's life changed forever when his daughter, Keesha, was diagnosed with breast cancer. What began as a family's private battle became a public mission. Alongside his wife Susan, Bob co-founded Warrior Princess (www.warriorprincess.org), a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating young women—ages 25 to 45—about early detection and breast health awareness. Through his memoir and advocacy work, Bob shares a perspective rarely heard: the emotional journey of a father supporting his daughter through cancer. In this conversation, he opens up about the unexpected emotional challenges men and fathers face, the gaps in healthcare communication, and how this experience reshaped his understanding of love, strength, and purpose. Bob introduces what he calls “The Platinum Rule” — loving others as they wish to be loved — and explains how this philosophy transformed not only his family life but also his work in customer service and leadership. This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership begins at home, courage is often quiet, and awareness can save lives. In this episode, we discuss: • The turning point that transformed Bob's life and mission • The emotional reality fathers experience during a child's cancer journey • The Platinum Rule and how it elevates leadership and service • How healthcare providers can better support families • Why Warrior Princess focuses on women ages 25–45 • The challenges of writing a memoir through a father's lens This conversation will move you, challenge you, and remind you that love—when expressed intentionally—can become legacy.

“Communication is the number one way to remove friction.”If communication is the key to connection, then removing friction is what makes every interaction work. According to Vanessa Van Edwards, the most effective communicators aren't just skilled with words—they know how to align their gestures, body language, and presence to make others feel at ease. A behavioral researcher and bestselling author of Captivate and Cues, Van Edwards studies the subtle signals that shape how we are perceived. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, she joins Matt Abrahams to explore the hidden factors that influence communication, from purposeful gestures and expressive body language to the words, images, and visual cues that build trust and credibility.Takeaways:Great communication goes beyond words. Gestures, facial expressions, visual cues, and even the language we use in emails and meetings can either create friction or build trust, clarity, and connection.Focus on the other person, not yourself. By applying the Platinum Rule—treating others as they want to be treated—and intentionally putting people at ease, communicators can foster stronger relationships, deeper conversations, and greater influence.Activity:Practice the Platinum Rule. Before your next important conversation, meeting, or email, take one minute to answer: “What does this person need from me right now?” Then tailor your communication to their priorities, concerns, and preferred style—not your own. Afterward, reflect on how that shift changed the quality of the interaction.Printable PDF of Takeaways & ActivityEpisode Reference Links:Vanessa Van EdwardsVanessa's Books: Cues / CaptivateEp.137 When Words Aren't Enough: How to Excel at Nonverbal Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:01) - The Importance of Strategic Communication (01:45) - The Power of Gestures (04:10) - A Readiness Check for Speakers (05:56) - Over-Signaling vs. Under-Signaling (08:18) - Dangerous Words in Communication (12:27) - Imagery Cues & First Impressions (15:03) - Virtual Backgrounds Matter (17:33) - The Platinum Rule (19:01) - The Final Three Questions (23:59) - Conclusion

What if the person you're frustrated with at work isn't lazy, careless, or “not leadership material,” but simply stuck in an environment that works against how their brain operates? That question sits at the center of my conversation with Wainwright Yu, a senior technology executive and leadership coach who specializes in neurodiversity and cognitive diversity. We get personal quickly, starting with the moment an employee disclosed ADHD during a performance conversation, and the gut-punch of hearing the same possibility raised about his own child soon after.From there, we move into practical, strengths-based leadership. We talk about why the Golden Rule breaks down at work, especially when attention, executive function, and processing styles differ, and how the Platinum Rule helps us lead people as they are. Wainwright shares a powerful example of role fit: a struggling employee becomes highly successful when his work shifts from process compliance to complex problem solving. The lesson is bigger than ADHD at work. Every human is “uneven,” and the best managers learn how to align tasks to strengths, values, and energy rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all standard.We also unpack how to find hidden strengths, how to reframe traits like impulsivity, mind-wandering, and anxiety into courage, creativity, and foresight, and how to build team norms that support differences without turning them into a spotlight or a stigma. You'll leave with concrete ideas for psychological safety, better conversations outside performance reviews, and small adjustments that remove friction while keeping standards high.If this sparks an insight, subscribe, share the episode with one leader who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

FRD member Mike Green with a quick one for dads before Mother's Day. If you've ever scrambled at the last minute, grabbed flowers from Trader Joe's, and hoped for the best, this is for you. Mike breaks down the Platinum Rule, which is not treat her the way you want to be treated, but treat her the way she wants to be treated. Sounds simple. But how do you actually know what she wants? Mike shares three curiosity tools that replace guessing with intention: → Ask — but ask thoughtfully and early, not the night before → Observe — watch for the patterns, what drains her, what lights her up, take notes months ahead → Empathy — step into her world and feel what this season of life actually feels like for her Then he gives you a simple past, present, future filter to design a day that's actually about her experience, not just your effort. Short, practical, and worth 6 minutes of your time before Sunday.

How can leaders create more clarity in uncertain times? In this episode, Kevin and Karl Hebenstreit discuss why clarity has become such a critical leadership need, especially in uncertain times, and why so many performance problems can be traced back to assumptions instead of explicit conversations. They talk about the danger of relying on the Golden Rule in leadership, the importance of moving toward the Platinum Rule by understanding how others want to be treated, and the reality that expectations must flow in every direction, not just from leader to team member. Karl shares practical insights on making one-on-ones more effective, keeping goals current as priorities change, and creating the consistency, communication, coaching, and compassion that build confidence and engagement.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) You've heard the Golden Rule your whole life. Jennifer Furlong says it's a great start — but it's not enough.In this episode, Wilk welcomes back communications strategist and coach Jennifer Furlong (Communication TwentyFourSeven) for a conversation that's equal parts practical and eye-opening. They dig into the Platinum Rule — the idea that truly effective communication means treating people the way they want to be treated, not the way you do. That shift sounds simple. It isn't.Jen and Wilk explore the four core communication styles, why acknowledgment and agreement are two very different things, and what it actually takes — courage, intention, and a willingness to put your ego in the back seat — to have a real conversation with someone who sees the world completely differently than you do.If you've ever walked away from a hard conversation feeling like nothing got through, this one's for you.Topics Covered:•        The Platinum Rule vs. the Golden Rule•        The four communication styles and your default setting•        Why listening IS the skill (not just a nice-to-have)•        Acknowledgment ≠ agreement•        Communicating across ideological differences•        Creating shared meaning — even when you can't find common ground•        The Three Gates: Is it true? Is it kind?

How does someone juggle running a business, teaching at two universities, and working full-time as a Director of Enterprise Applications? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Dr. Tresia Eaves—Air Force veteran, author, adjunct professor, and founder of Variant Enterprises—to explore her remarkable journey from military service to becoming a recognized leader in technology consulting and project management."You are only limited by yourself and the limitations you put on yourself," Dr. Eaves explains, sharing how she's managed to build a successful consulting business while teaching the next generation of business leaders and leading IT initiatives at Texas A&M University, Kingsville.

Several million dollars can feel surprisingly small when you're measuring it against someone else's yardstick. Whether you have three, five, or ten million, if you're chasing a lifestyle defined by the "Joneses," you're not pursuing satisfaction, you're chasing someone else's version of happy. In this video, we dig into the "Country Club Syndrome" and the dangerous spiral of losing contentment by comparison. From $100,000 trucks, retirees don't need mountain homes they don't enjoy, we share real stories of clients who found freedom by asking one question: "Do I actually want this?" We'll show you how to build a Purpose Plan that aligns your money with your values, so your retirement is defined by your mission, not your neighbor's new golf cart. Timestamps: [01:04] – The Country Club Syndrome: Why the "next best thing" is a dangerous spiral that robs you of joy.

As a fundraising consultant and coach, Perry helps nonprofits develop strategies, systems, and relationships to improve their fundraising yield. She believes in creating environments that nurture all gifts - time, talent, treasure, testimony, and ties - honoring how each person is uniquely suited to make a difference within their community. Key Takeaways:Donors are partners who bring time, talent, treasure, testimony, and ties. When relationships are rooted in shared values and trust, financial support follows naturally. Sustainable fundraising honors the whole person rather than treating giving as a transaction.Scarcity culture fuels burnout, fear, and reactive decision-making. An abundance mindset focuses on transformation, sustainability, and long-term impact. Organizations that move beyond survival thinking create healthier outcomes for both staff and communities.Burnout drains capacity, while moral injury erodes trust and integrity. Misalignment between stated values and lived behavior is a common source of harm. Naming these dynamics is the first step toward healing individuals and institutions.True alignment requires that daily actions reflect the organization's declared values. Healthy conflict and psychological safety strengthen culture more than surface-level niceness. Leadership grounded in empathy and the Platinum Rule fosters belonging and lasting engagement. “People who show up to give, they often don't just want to write a check. They want to do whatever they can to help a cause that means something to them.” “Let's stop flattening people. Let's treat volunteers and donors with the same level of respect. Let's not just keep putting money on this pedestal.” “We want to treat people the way they want to be treated. We want to honor them. We want to acknowledge them. We don't want to just dismiss them and act like our way is the only way.”- Perry Radford Reach out to Perry Radford at:Website: radphilanthropy.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/perryradford/    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

This IDD Perspectives webinar episode centers on person-centered thinking and practices in supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), especially those with co-occurring mental health and behavioral challenges. Hosted by Dr. Craig Escudé and featuring Bob Sattler, the discussion emphasizes the importance of autonomy, informed decision-making, and balancing personal happiness with health and safety. It critiques traditional service models that often prioritize safety over individual fulfillment and advocates for systemic changes aligned with the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) regulations. Key themes include trauma-informed care, organizational culture, staff empowerment, and the "Platinum Rule" — treating people the way they want to be treated. The conversation highlights nine critical elements for building a person-centered system, including mission alignment, advocacy, outcomes over goals, and quality management, while stressing that meaningful change requires leadership commitment and innovative resource connections.

A Note from the Host: Please accept my sincere apology for the audio quality on my end of this recording. Despite buying new equipment to improve the audio quality, I made a rookie mistake. I didn't look at my own audio levels before recording and didn't notice my four-year-old maxed out the volume on my mixer. Despite my best efforts to fix it in post-production, my audio is unfortunately quite distorted. Justin Hunsaker's audio is perfect, and that is where the real value lies. I ask you to forgive my technical error and embrace the fantastic communication insights Justin shares. The lesson he delivers on clarity and audience focus is one I clearly need to re-learn!The Expert Trap: How Your Knowledge Can Sabotage Your TrainingHow do you go from being a software engineer to an executive communication coach? For Justin Hunsaker, it was realizing that the through-line of all success is communication.Justin, the author of Presentation Pitfalls, joins us to discuss his upcoming presentation at the Training Conference and Expo: “The expert trap: how knowing too much can sabotage your training and presentations”.The “expert trap” is defined as when presenters focus on their expertise rather than what their audience needs to learn, resulting in a message that never completely gets conveyed. Justin emphasizes that in communication, your audience comes first.Spock vs. Kirk: The Emotional vs. Logical VoiceJustin suggests everyone has two voices in their head: the Mr. Spock (logical, sequential, data-oriented) and the Captain Kirk (emotional, storytelling). The expert trap is relying solely on Mr. Spock.To avoid this, Justin recommends:* Start with a story to get emotional engagement (Captain Kirk).* Introduce facts and logic (Mr. Spock) to provide credibility and confidence that you've done the expertise work.* End with the story.This approach works because people buy with emotion and justify with logic. Storytelling is much more primal to the human experience than a sequence of facts, making information stickier.The Signal to Noise Ratio: Cutting the FatExperts often feel everything they know is important and needs to be included, but this creates noise that distracts the audience from the three most important facts they should remember.Justin and his partner's four-part presentation framework includes Reduce Noise. If an expert can't explain when a piece of information will be valuable to the learner, it becomes noise that should be put in a handout or an appendix. He advises using the military's BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) framework to flip a history-lesson approach upside down and lead with the most important answer.Tools for the Modern CommunicatorJustin is excited about how AI (Large Language Models) can help experts communicate better. He suggests asking a large language model to generate 10 analogies for a complex topic, allowing the expert to quickly select the most resonant one for their audience.The Platinum Rule of PresentationsJustin teaches that presentation design is a function of your audience, your purpose, and your setting—the presenter is not included. This reinforces the number one rule of training: It's not about you.The 3F Framework for Instant PresenceAs a final tip, Justin shares the 3F Framework for leveling up your communication in just three minutes before any important conversation:* Facts: Write down the three facts you want your audience to remember.* Feelings: Write down the feelings you and your audience have going into the conversation.* Follow-ups: Write down what you promise to do after the conversation, and what you want your audience to promise to do.Key Takeaways* Audience First: The expert trap is focusing on what you know instead of what the audience needs to learn. The design of your training should focus on the audience, purpose, and setting—not the presenter.* Embrace Emotion: People make decisions based on emotion and justify them with logic. Start with a story (emotion/Captain Kirk) before providing data (logic/Mr. Spock).* Reduce Noise: Cut extraneous information that is only a “history lesson” of your journey. Use the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) approach to prioritize the most important answer.* The 3F Level Up: Spend three minutes before any meeting writing down the three desired Facts, the related Feelings, and the planned Follow-ups to increase your leadership presence.Justin Hunsaker's Book and Contact:* Book: Presentation Pitfalls* Contact: Find Justin on LinkedIn (he's the one with the book in the background!).

What if the Golden Rule is holding your leadership back? In this episode, we challenge the age-old idea of "treat others the way you want to be treated" and introduce its more inclusive upgrade—the Platinum Rule: treat others the way they want to be treated. We unpack the difference between fairness and sameness, and explore why personalized leadership—though complex—is the key to building trust, belonging, and high-performing teams. We dive into the personalization paradox: how to treat people differently while staying grounded in your team's shared values. You'll hear the story of a well-meaning manager who thought they were being fair but was unintentionally alienating half their team. We also introduce a simple but powerful tool—the Personal Employee Handbook—that helps uncover unconscious assumptions and build stronger relationships. You'll learn how to ask people what they need without making it weird or awkward, and why building trust requires a cycle of connection, failure, apology, and growth. This episode connects to our book, The Bridging Leader, and is part of our adaptability framework that's been shown to increase trust by 81%.

The Sales Evangelist Founder Donald Kelly shares why it is time to forget the Golden Rule and embrace the Platinum Rule: treat others the way THEY would like to be treated." Sales success is all about the power of credibility that comes from referrals, but only 11% of sellers actually ask for them when 90% of customers are inclined to give them. To stand out in hypercompetitive markets, establishing personal branding isn't optional, it is a must. "No longer is it important to be the best in your industry. Now it's more important to be the best known." The bottom line is there are more people who need what you offer more than you think. They just don't know you exist yet.

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I'm thrilled to welcome back Dr. Karl Hebenstreit—organizational psychologist, executive coach, speaker, and now the author of a powerful new book: Explicit Expectations: The Essential Guide and Toolkit of Management Fundamentals. Karl's insights will be eye-opening if you're a leader, manager, or anyone asked to take charge without much training or clarity. His central message? Everything is a conversation—and when expectations aren't explicit, confusion and conflict inevitably follow. From Enneagram to Explicit Expectations You may remember Karl from a previous episode where he shared his passion for the Enneagram. That framework, which focuses on motivation rather than just behavior, changed how he saw people and how they relate to one another. In today's conversation, we explored how that same thinking inspired his latest work—helping new managers step into their roles with clarity, confidence, and connection. Karl's journey into HR and organizational psychology wasn't always linear. Early in his career, he realized that promoting high-performing individuals into management often left them unprepared for what came next. "We promote people and assume they'll figure it out," Karl says. "But without guidance, they're left adrift." That recognition became the seed for his new book. Why We Get Expectations Wrong Karl shared a striking observation: most people operate from their internal "golden rule," assuming that others want to be treated like they are. But what if that isn't true? This insight draws from both the Enneagram and Karl's own coaching experience. Managers often expect others to intuit their expectations, only to be disappointed when those assumptions don't lead to desired outcomes. The solution? Make expectations explicit—hence the book's title. Explicit Expectations is more than just a how-to guide. It's a toolkit grounded in real organizational challenges, especially for newly promoted managers without formal training. It offers a structured way to define goals, conduct one-on-ones, manage performance, lead team meetings, and even handle terminations—all through the lens of clear communication and alignment. From Confusion to Clarity: Building a Living Agreement At the heart of Karl's approach is the Explicit Expectations Engagement and Alignment Guide—a tool that allows managers and employees to co-create clarity. It's not a static checklist but a living document that evolves as business conditions and roles change. It helps each party articulate their motivations, communication styles, and priorities. This idea resonated deeply with me. As a corporate anthropologist, I've seen firsthand how ambiguity breeds misalignment and disengagement. Karl's guide gives teams a shared language and mutual understanding, vital to navigating change—something we know is constant in today's fast-moving workplaces. A Simple but Powerful Question One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation is Karl's approach to team dynamics: "Just ask." Ask how someone prefers to receive feedback, what motivates them, and how they want to resolve conflict. These conversations don't require a PhD in psychology—just curiosity, empathy, and a willingness to listen. Karl emphasized that even without formal Enneagram training, managers can learn to tailor their approach by simply being explicit in conversations. The platinum rule—treating others as they want to be treated—starts with understanding what that looks like for each person. Embracing Differences to Build Stronger Teams Karl and I also explored how embracing cognitive and motivational diversity leads to stronger, more customer-centered organizations. He shared how teams begin to see the value of different Enneagram types and break free from the idea that there's one "right" way to lead or be led. This is especially relevant today as businesses navigate generational differences, hybrid work, and rapid digital transformation. As Karl puts it, "Your team is a microcosm of your customers." Understanding internal diversity helps you connect more authentically with external markets. You may prefer to watch our podcast video on YouTube here: Practical Tools for Real Change Karl's work is deeply relevant whether you're leading a startup or a legacy institution. His book offers practical tools—strategic planning, onboarding, feedback, coaching, accountability, DEI practices—all through the lens of clarity and alignment. These tools are not just about being a better manager; they're about empowering you to be a better communicator and collaborator, capable of driving real change in your organization. And yes, Karl now has an AI-powered training twin! His methods are available in person, virtually, or through AI-enabled programs. As I often say, the future is here—and Karl is helping us manage it better. His methods have the potential to inspire and motivate change, transforming the way we manage and communicate. Key Takeaways from the Episode: Unspoken expectations are a recipe for misalignment. Managers must articulate their needs and ask about others' preferences—don't assume. The Golden Rule is outdated—aim for the Platinum Rule. Understand others' motivations and communication styles to treat them the way you want to be treated. Build a living agreement. Use Karl's Engagement and Alignment Guide to create and revisit shared expectations as goals and roles evolve.
