Podcasts about practical ways

Here's a simple, powerful way to stay connected with God all throughout your day — not just in your quiet time.   In today's episode, I share a key practice that has helped me (and many coaching clients) walk closely with Jesus in real-life situations.   Let's learn to reconnect and abide in Him… even when life gets messy.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Jeffrey Hull and Margaret Moore, co-authors of The Science of Leadership: Nine Ways to Expand Your Impact. Drawing from over 50 years of leadership research and tens of thousands of studies, Jeff and Meg offer an accessible roadmap for leaders who want to grow in meaningful, evidence-based ways. As coaches and leaders at the Institute of Coaching, they distill complex research into nine practical leadership capacities that help you expand your impact while staying grounded. In this conversation, they unpack what it means to be a conscious leader and why self-awareness is essential. You'll hear how cultural context affects leadership perceptions, what it takes to be ready to grow, and how to quiet the "ego noise" that can derail your effectiveness. Whether you're managing a team across time zones or parenting in today's high-pressure environment, the insights from this episode are deeply practical and immediately usable. If you're looking for insights on how to lead with more clarity, authenticity, and impact, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Leadership isn't about you as much as it is about your impact on others." "Motivation and confidence are twin engines that power real growth." "Quieting your ego doesn't make you less effective. It gives you clarity." "Cultural norms can shape how leadership is perceived, but respect always translates." "Transformational leadership isn't about having a vision. It's about co-creating one." "Parenting is leadership. And it's one of the best places to practice these capacities." "The book is a self-coaching tool for everyday leaders who want to grow with intention."

Studying the Bible in a way that makes it practical for daily living is a powerful and transformative process. To do this effectively, you'll need a combination of intentionality, reflection, and application. Here's a step-by-step approach that can help:1. Start with PrayerBefore you begin reading, take a moment to pray, asking God to open your heart and mind to His Word. Ask for understanding, wisdom, and guidance to apply the lessons to your life.2. Choose a Plan or FocusRather than aimlessly reading, choose a Bible reading plan or a specific book or passage to focus on. Here are some options:Books of the Bible: Start with a book like the Psalms, Proverbs, or one of the Gospels (e.g., Mark or John) that speaks directly to practical living.Themes: Focus on specific themes such as forgiveness, patience, love, or trust.Character Studies: Study the lives of biblical figures like David, Paul, Esther, or Jesus to learn from their experiences.3. Read with PurposeDon't rush through the text. Take time to understand each verse. Ask yourself questions as you read, such as:What does this passage teach about God?What does this passage teach about human nature?How does this relate to my life?What is God asking me to do or change?

Have you ever spent ages crafting the perfect LinkedIn post, only to delete it in a moment of self-doubt? In this episode, Anna Lundberg dives into the so-called 'LinkedIn spiral' - the cycle of comparison, perfectionism, and performative posting that can leave even seasoned experts feeling deflated. Tune in as Anna shares practical strategies for building your authority, setting healthy boundaries online, and creating a content rhythm that feels authentic (and gets results). Key Takeaways LinkedIn's Unique Power for Experts: LinkedIn remains the best platform for independent experts to position themselves as authorities and connect with ideal clients—when used with intention. Understanding the LinkedIn Spiral: Anna unpacks three common traps: comparison, perfectionism, and performative posting, explaining how each can drain your energy, sap confidence, and distract from your real business goals. Metric Misalignment: Chasing 'likes' and comments isn't the same as building real value or winning clients. Anna highlights the importance of focusing on the metrics that actually matter for your business. Practical Ways to Regain Control: Tips include batching content, separating creation from scrolling, setting boundaries, unfollowing/muting comparison triggers, being strategic with engagement, and sticking to a sustainable, authentic cadence.

Have you ever hesitated when you knew God was calling you to act? Maybe it was speaking up in a meeting, addressing a team issue, or saying “yes” to an opportunity you didn't feel ready for. I've been there. And I know this: delayed obedience is often disobedience. Today, we're going to talk about that—about obedience in leadership, and how to take three practical, biblical steps that will help you stop hesitating and start leading boldly in obedience to God. For many of us as female Christian leaders, being disobedient isn't about defiance, it's about fear. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of what others will think. Fear of stepping out without knowing the full plan. But friend, God is not looking for perfection. He's looking for a yes. Obedience is less about having all the answers and more about having the willingness to follow. Have a listener question? Submit it at https://www.womenoffaithinleadership.com   Next steps:  1.

UX consultants Dan Szuc and Jo Wong observe peer-to-peer connection sorely missing in workplace culture and discuss how a lack of empathy and poor conduct in business settings contribute to high disengagement rates. From a UX consultancy perspective, they point out the importance of collective responsibility, empathy, and human soft skills that are harder to master. Drawing parallels between workplace dynamics and their experiences in theater and education, their view offers a different way of seeing workplace culture and the need for a cultural shift toward intentional, meaningful interactions. Their books, 'Make Meaningful Work' and 'Make Meaningful Culture,' offer practical insights for fostering a healthier work environment.The summary below was AI-generated using Descript.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:21 Discussing Workplace Culture and Disengagement01:18 Dan and Joe's Journey in UX02:42 The Importance of Empathy in the Workplace05:15 Dan's Story: From Drama to Business Culture06:54 Fundamentals of Successful Culture12:13 Challenges in Modern Workplaces19:39 The Role of Education in Shaping Culture22:25 AI and the Future of Work27:05 The Problem with Short-Termism and Attention Spans28:01 Practical Approaches to Education28:35 The Importance of Curiosity in Learning30:08 Engagement and Responsibility in Schools32:57 Avoidance and Responsibility in Workplaces33:49 The Role of Process in Work Culture35:16 Introducing the SPARKLE Framework44:17 The Impact of Early Life Experiences49:10 Promoting Meaningful Work and Culture50:21 Final Thoughts and ResourcesFind them here:Subscribe to their newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/make-meaningful-work-7327884648296972288Find them here: https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/https://www.apogeehk.com/https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/bookshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/173792823X?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/aboutHost Dawna Jones has been podcasting since 2008.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   Do you know what's quietly stealing your joy, keeping you small, and making sure everyone else's needs come first, while yours barely make the list? Being low maintenance. Yep, I said it.   Somewhere along the way, we got the message: don't ask for much, don't rock the boat, and definitely don't be “difficult.” But let's get real—that's not a virtue. That's a survival strategy we learned to keep the peace, and it's keeping us stuck.   Today, I'm calling it out. If you've ever said, “No worries, whatever works!” when it absolutely did not work, or if you've ever ignored that little voice in your head telling you what you actually want, it's time to break free. You're not “too much.” You're not “demanding.” You're a human with real wants and needs, and you deserve to own them, without apology.

A New Way to Summer: 10 Ways to Slow Down This Year Episode Description What if this summer doesn't have to be another season of cramming in as much activity and productivity as possible? In this vulnerable and transformative episode, host Cherisse shares her heart about choosing a different way to summer - one that prioritizes rest, restoration, and the health of our souls. With shaky hands and an open heart, Cherisse announces she's taking her first sabbatical in 26 years of business, and invites you to join her in discovering what it looks like to summer slowly, restfully, and with intention. Drawing wisdom from Abraham Joshua Heschel's "The Sabbath" and insights from recent guest conversations, this episode offers both inspiration and practical guidance for creating sacred rhythms this summer. What You'll Discover in This Episode: 10 Practical Ways to Slow Down This Summer: Release the Summer Performance Pressure - Stop trying to make your life Instagram-worthy and start living fully in each moment Embrace Morning Sacred Solitude - Create a daily rhythm of meeting with the Lord before the chaos begins Practice Holy Leisure in Nature - Discover "thin places" where heaven feels close to earth Create Rhythms of Preparation and Rest - Learn how preparation makes true rest possible Redefine Summer Success - Measure success by the state of your soul, not activities completed Practice the Discipline of Saying No - Guard your "palace in time" from invasions of busyness Embrace Contemplative Practices in Ordinary Moments - Transform daily tasks into opportunities for prayer Create Space for Holy Boredom - Let creativity and wonder emerge naturally Honor Your Body's Summer Rhythm - Treat your body as a temple to be honored, not a machine to be optimized Practice Sabbatical Thinking - Ask "What do you have for me today, Lord?" instead of demanding your agenda be blessed Key Scripture & Quotes Featured: Isaiah 30:15: "In quietness and trust shall be your strength. In returning and rest you shall be saved." Ruth Haley Barton: "We cannot give what we do not have." Abraham Joshua Heschel: "Sabbath is not for the sake of weekdays, but weekdays are for the sake of the Sabbath." John Ortberg: "Hurry is not of the devil. Hurry IS the devil." Special Announcement: Summer Soul Care Series While Cherisse steps into her sabbatical this summer, she's prepared a special gift for listeners - a Summer Soul Care series based on John Ortberg's book "Soul Keeping" that will release every Thursday in June. This series requires no prep work - simply press play and receive the soul care you need. How to Go Deeper: Order "Soul Keeping" by John Ortberg on Amazon or grab it on Audible/Spotify Invite friends to join you for intentional summer soul care Gather virtually or in person to discuss what God is stirring in your hearts Create your own summer soul care community right where you are A Personal Prayer for Your Summer The episode closes with a beautiful prayer for opening clenched fists, embracing rest as a gift rather than a challenge to conquer, and finding courage to keep our souls intact even if it means disappointing others. This prayer reminds us that our worth isn't measured by productivity, but by whose we are. Connect with Cherisse & Join the Journey

Are Second Chances for Everyone? How do you know when you're ready for a second chance? Tina Yeager is joined by bestselling author of over 40 books, Kimberly Woodhouse, for a heartfelt conversation about “Second Chances.” Together, they explore how grace, forgiveness, and God's unwavering love make second (and twentieth!) chances possible—whether in our careers, relationships, or faith journeys. Kimberly shares insights from her latest novel, An Unexpected Grace, reflecting on characters who need renewal and the real-life experiences that shaped her storytelling. Hear stories of perseverance through crisis, the importance of supportive relationships, and honest struggles with grief and wounded hearts. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly eligible for a new beginning or how to hold on when life gets tough, this episode will encourage you to embrace hope, healing, and the abundance of grace waiting for you. Tune in for wisdom, practical encouragement, and stories that prove it's never too late for a second chance—with God, with yourself, and with others. Are second chances available to us all, even if we feel like we've run out of “do-overs”? Kim's response was powerful—she believes there is NO limit on second chances. God's grace is infinite, no matter how many times we fall or feel unworthy. In her words, “He's still there to pick me up out of the mud puddle and say, I love you, my daughter.” Hanging On When Life Gets Tough Kimberley shared heartfelt stories from her own life, including her family's struggles and how thousands have reached out to ask, “How did you get through it?” Her advice? “Tie a knot in the bottom of that rope and just hang on.” Whether it's singing, worshiping, or relying on supportive friends, Kimberley reminds us that clinging to hope and faith—especially in our lowest moments—is essential. Practical Ways to Persevere When navigating trials, Kimberley emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with prayerful friends, spending extra time in God's word, and holding yourself accountable with a supportive faith community. Even when we're trying our best, we may still fail—but God's forgiveness stretches further than we can imagine. Stories that Heal Kimberley's recent novel, An Unexpected Grace, explores the complexities of second chances in relationships. Through characters who face grief, shattered dreams, and wounded hearts, she demonstrates that healing and reconciliation are possible, even after years of pain. Through fiction, Kimberley believes we're able to experience truth and healing in fresh, relatable ways. Encouragement for the Wounded Whether you're grieving, struggling with broken relationships, or feeling distant from your God-given purpose, Kimberley urges us to remember: “God is not going to fail us the same way other people have.” Taking that step of faith, even when trust feels impossible, can lead to unexpected wholeness. Kimberley's Word of Hope Kimberley closed with her life verse: James 1:2-4—“Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.” She reminds us to look for joy even in tough seasons, trusting that God is shaping us along the way.

#566 In this episode of the podcast, I explore how photography can be a powerful tool for self-discovery—not just a way to create beautiful images or chase technical perfection. I share my belief that the most meaningful photos aren't always the ones that earn the most likes or comments. Instead, our true value as photographers comes from how honestly we depict our lives and the world around us. KEY TOPICS COVEREDPhotography as Self-Discovery - Raymond explains that photography is more than just technical skill or visual appeal—it's a tool for self-exploration. The choices you make behind the camera act as a "mirror," revealing your interests, values, and the way you see the world.The Mirror and the Megaphone Metaphor - The “mirror” captures your authentic, unfiltered truth, while the “megaphone” amplifies what you choose to share with the world—curated, staged, or idealized moments. The real magic happens when your megaphone projects your mirror's truth.Practical Ways to Shoot Authentically - Raymond recommends concrete strategies, like setting reminders to document ordinary scenes (e.g., your fridge, messy rooms) to foster honesty in your work. He challenges listeners to photograph something honest, unpolished, and meaningful—if only for themselves.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSMirror: The aspect of photography that reflects your true self—your interests, emotions, and what you naturally notice. It's about authenticity.Megaphone: The way you present or share your images, shaping how your story is told to others. This can be more curated or staged but is most powerful when aligned with your mirror.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat do your everyday photo choices reveal about you?Have you ever felt pressure to shoot for an audience instead of for yourself?How can you begin to capture more authentic and honest moments in your daily life?Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/Connect with Raymond!

Let's get honest about a lie holding too many of us back. Somewhere along the way, we picked up this false idea that humility means shrinking, that dreaming big somehow makes us prideful. But here's the truth—thinking bigger isn't prideful, it's faithful. Playing small doesn't honor God. Stewarding your gifts—that's what glorifies Him. So today, we're tearing down the lie that safe and small equals holy. We're stepping into the dreams deep in your heart—the ones so bold and beautiful, you almost feel guilty for wanting them. The ones that whisper, “Who do you think you are?”   Here's the answer: You are His. And it's time to trust Him enough to dream bigger.
