Podcasts about powerfully

Dr. Kate Mason, executive communications coach and author of "Powerfully Likeable," dismantles the myth that you have to choose between being powerful or being liked as a leader. Kate reveals why the traditional "leadership persona" is exhausting and challenges the Miranda Priestley vs. people-pleaser binary that traps high-achieving women. She shares her simple exercise to map your power-up and power-down moments, explains why thinking about confidence is the worst way to build it, and offers strategies for handling feedback without triggering threat responses. Why you should listen: If you're tired of performing a leadership role that doesn't feel authentic, or struggling with vague feedback about needing more "executive presence," this conversation provides concrete tools to lead powerfully while staying true to who you are. -----------------------   Inside My CEO Calendar: How I Led A Team of 5k+ Without Getting Pulled Back Into the Weeds A behind-the-scenes private podcast for senior female leaders and CEOs who don't need fluff—just sharper thinking, smarter moves, and more time for what matters.

7/8. Professor Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad powerfully conveys the vivid and often gory reality of Bronze Age combat. The poem meticulously details how men died, showing the brutality of warfare. A crucial aspect of Homeric battle culture, as highlighted by Wilson, is the understanding that once a warrior is dead, their body and armor must be protected and treated honorably. The desecration of corpses, like Achilles dragging Hector's body, is a profound act of humiliation, intended to further punish the enemy beyond death. 1599 ARMS FOR ACHILLES

"You Can't Judge Me!" - What Jesus Said That Made Religious Leaders Want to Kill Him | John 5 Have you ever wondered why religious leaders wanted to kill Jesus for healing someone? In this powerful sermon from John chapter 5, discover the shocking claim Jesus made that changed everything - He declared Himself equal with God the Father. This isn't just another Bible study; it's an eye-opening exploration of Christ's deity that will transform how you understand the Trinity. Pastor dives deep into verses 19-24, revealing how Jesus didn't ask permission from the Father but operated in perfect unity with Him. Learn why Jesus had to specifically address individuals like Lazarus and Jairus's daughter when raising them from the dead - and what would have happened if He hadn't! This fascinating teaching explains the "seeth" and "doeth" relationship between Father and Son, showing their eternal, unbroken union. Discover why honoring Jesus as just a "good teacher" or "prophet" actually dishonors God the Father. This message tackles the challenging questions non-Trinitarians face and resolves the seeming contradiction between Isaiah 42:8 and John 5:23. You'll understand why Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams missed the mark despite admiring Jesus's teachings. Most importantly, hear Christ's authoritative promise in verse 24: those who hear His word and believe HAVE everlasting life - not will have, but possess it right now! Learn what it truly means to be "quickened" - made alive so as to never die again spiritually. This isn't about religious rituals or living right to earn salvation; it's about the instant transfer from death to life through faith in Christ.

Anna Vasquez on Everyday Injustice On the latest episode of the Everyday Injustice podcast, host David Greenwald speaks with Anna Vasquez, a survivor of wrongful conviction and now Director of Outreach and Education for the Innocence Project of Texas. Vasquez was one of four women—collectively known as the San Antonio Four—who were falsely accused and convicted in the 1990s amid a wave of homophobia and “Satanic panic.” Now exonerated, she dedicates her life to helping others avoid the same fate. Vasquez recounts the harrowing experience of being accused of sexually assaulting two young girls, an accusation rooted not in evidence but in hysteria. The case was fueled by homophobic stereotypes, flawed forensic testimony, and a social climate gripped by fear of devil worship and child abuse. A pediatrician's now-discredited interpretation of supposed trauma and vague allusions to Satanic influence helped seal their fate. “It didn't matter that we weren't even there when they said it happened,” Vasquez explained. “It was all part of the panic at the time.” The podcast delves into the broader implications of junk science in wrongful convictions. Vasquez highlights how unproven medical theories—like the belief that hymenal “scarring” indicated abuse—were accepted as fact in courtrooms, despite no scientific foundation. “That wasn't science. It was a belief,” she says. Her case mirrors countless others where lives were destroyed by outdated or erroneous forensic assumptions. Despite spending more than a decade behind bars, Vasquez emerged not only free but determined to make change. She shares the emotional journey of rebuilding trust—first with a filmmaker whose documentary Southwest of Salem helped raise awareness, then with legal advocates who fought for her release. Her story is a powerful reminder of the human cost of wrongful convictions—and the extraordinary courage it takes to keep fighting for justice.

In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin dive deep into how the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, and how we can shift them to align with who we truly are becoming. From long-held beliefs that no longer serve us to surprising insights that challenge our identity, the Laurels explore the powerful relationship between self-talk, personal growth, and transformation. They share personal examples, including the “I'm not a plant person” myth and the courageous redefinition of divorce, to illuminate how rewriting your internal narrative can lead to freedom, joy, and fulfillment. You'll walk away with practical steps to begin shifting your own story, questions to spark reflection, and encouragement to receive the help you need along the way. If you've ever felt stuck in a role or identity that no longer fits, this conversation will inspire you to author a new chapter that reflects your deepest desires and dreams. Your story matters. Your life matters. And you have the power to change both. 00:00 Welcome and Reflections on Season 4 03:37 The inspiration behind today's episode 04:46 Contradictions, fact checking, and myth-busters 06:32 The story that is your life 08:44 Powerfully crafting your story 10:03 Laurel Holland's big story 13:02 Being the hero and casting director of your story 17:01 How staying in a story benefits us 17:38 A mother's wisdom 19:29 How to change your story 21:26 The importance of the words we choose 24:29 Questions to help you change your story 27:09 Being open to receiving help 28:14 Roles and resistance 30:37 An invitation to listeners Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration: What is a story I tell myself about who I am — and is it really true? What part of my life feels repetitive, stuck, or uninspiring? If I could rewrite that chapter, what would I want it to look like instead? How do the words I use about myself shape my daily experience? What's one word I could replace that would feel more empowering? What story have I been holding onto because it feels safer than facing the unknown? If I'm the casting director of my life, what new role do I want to step into next? Where am I resisting help and how could receiving support move me closer to my new story? Who am I without the roles I've clung to (like “the helper,” “the caretaker,” “the peacekeeper”, “the responsible one”)? What is something in my life right now that contradicts a story I've been telling myself? What proof exists that a new story is possible? What do I truly want that I've been afraid to claim? If I could dream beyond my wildest dreams, what new story would I be bold enough to write for my life now?

Former Ohio Governor John Kasich believes the power of faith is not just a tool for personal happiness and fulfillment, but a great resource to help build communities and solve some of our most pressing concerns like poverty, health care, and building strong neighborhoods. Not content to leave civic involvement to government agencies, Kasich, who's also a former Fox News Channel contributor and GOP presidential candidate, sees religious institutions as the best hope for trench warfare against the evils of our time. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Kasich discusses his book, "Heaven Help Us," and how faith groups don't need government to strengthen communities; only a person with a great idea whose willing to work, like the man who was inspired by his meeting with Mother Theresa and went home and delivered groceries to a couple of homes, and now is feeding over a half a million daily. Good works are infectious. And it's the kind of virus that brings positive changes all around. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Allyship in Action Podcast, Julie Kratz is joined by Sona Khosla, Chief Impact Officer at Benevity. Inclusion is about having courage to keep doing good when it feels like the world's spinning the other way. And that's exactly what Sona and Julie dove into this week – this idea that even when the news is full of noise and doubt, there's a powerful current of good still flowing, quietly and persistently. It's about finding that inner strength, that "baked-in cake" resilience, and reminding ourselves that this work, this striving for inclusion and impact, it's not a trend, it's our DNA.  Key takeaways from this conversation: The Quiet Persistence of Impact: Despite the noise and pushback, many companies are quietly increasing their investments in CSR and DEI initiatives, recognizing the long-term value and employee expectations.   Data-Driven Advocacy: The importance of leveraging data and metrics to demonstrate the ROI of inclusion and impact initiatives, moving beyond emotional appeals to tangible business benefits. The Long Game of Legacy: Focusing on the enduring impact and legacy of leadership, rather than short-term reactions to current pressures, emphasizing that this work is about long-term human connection and value. The Power of Small, Consistent Actions: Emphasizing that even small, consistent actions, like internal communication and employee listening sessions, can make a significant difference in maintaining a sense of belonging and commitment. Generational Values Driving Change: Highlighting the influence of millennials and Gen Z in shaping workplace values and consumer expectations, reinforcing that inclusion is not a passing trend but a fundamental shift. Insightful Quotes: "It's just how it is, the nature of progress, we will progress, we'll take steps back, but we will progress. I fundamentally believe that resistance is a part of progress." "What's the risk of inaction and what do I know for sure that will be enduring?" "When you design your systems for all like you benefit all." "Employees want to hear the commitment right now."  Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Start a conversation. Even if your company seems quiet on DEI, initiate a lunch-and-learn or team discussion about the data and trends shared in Sona's research. Talking about it, even in a small group, reinforces that these values matter and builds a sense of community.

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today, we've got a powerhouse episode for you with the amazing Danielle Schaaf. If you've ever found yourself battling anxiety or feeling stuck in scarcity, this one's for you. Danielle shares her journey from scarcity to abundance and how she now coaches women to embrace a mindset of possibility and power. Danielle opens up about her story—growing up in an environment where she was told she wasn't enough, which led to years of feeling small and limited in what she could achieve. But everything changed when she started shifting her mindset. Through deep reflection, spiritual insight, and a lot of self-coaching, she realized that abundance isn't just about money—it's about embracing the belief that there is always more than enough in every area of life. We dive into the scarcity vs. abundance mindset, breaking down what each looks like in real life. Danielle's perspective on shifting from a “lack” mentality to one of abundance is so empowering, especially when she talks about how beliefs shape our reality. For anyone stuck in the “I don't have enough time, money, or energy” trap, Danielle gives actionable advice on how to start shifting your mindset. Chelsey and Stephen also reflect on how important it is to embrace this mindset, especially as entrepreneurs and busy parents. We discuss how these shifts don't just impact your business, but your family, relationships, and overall well-being. Get ready to be inspired, empowered, and equipped to think bigger and live more freely!

Are you a rambler? Fast talker? Slow talker? Nervous when asked a question in an interview and curious just how long that ideal answer should be? Or, how to deliver it concisely? Powerfully? Today, it's all about staying on track when you respond to interviewers. Whether your response is one minute, three minutes, or five minutes, it needs to be packaged with the right information, powerful words that paint a picture, and phrases that elicit the feelings you want the interviewer to have about you. That's right. They hire you based on feelings. Why? Because they have to hire you (or not) based on something. And, they don't exactly have enough time to get all the information they'd actually need to know whether you'd be a star. (Even though you and your beloved Coach are already certain that'd be the case.) What's more, they think four times faster than you can talk, so that gives them ample time to imagine. Let's get them imagining how awesome their lives will be once they hire you!

Have you ever felt frozen by all the “what ifs” that swirl around in your mind as a coach? What if I mess up? What if the client doesn't get results? What if I don't know what to say? In this episode, we're diving into a rarely talked about struggle—coaching paralysis. These are the thoughts that creep in before, during, or after a session... or even before you fully step into coaching. And here's the kicker: these aren't your clients' thoughts. These are yours.We'll explore how these doubts often stem from a lack of self-trust and a desire to control the unpredictable. While it's normal to want to be prepared, constantly playing out worst-case scenarios in your mind can drain your energy and block your growth. The good news? You don't have to banish these thoughts—you can reframe them. I'll walk you through how to shift your mindset so your “what ifs” start working for you instead of against you. What if you trusted that silence could be powerful? What if you believed that your presence alone could spark transformation?This episode will help you recognize that true confidence doesn't come from having all the answers—it comes from trusting yourself to meet any moment with curiosity and care.Whether you're a brand new coach or someone building your business, you'll learn how to get unstuck, step back into your power, and coach with more ease and clarity. Because when you stop letting fear run the show, you make space for real impact.To start a successful coaching business, visit ⁠www.thrivingcoachacademy.com⁠.

But I'm here to tell you there's a revolutionary approach to aging that turns these scary numbers on their head.
