At ACDIS 2026 I delivered an unofficial episode of Off the Record with my guest today: Tracy Ferro, Executive Director, System CDI for Medical University of South Carolina Health (MUSC). The “podcast” was delivered on stage, at the outpatient symposium. MUSC's OP CDI program is new and being built in flight, and Tracy and I presented on it together, running the session a bit like an episode of #OTR. Full disclosure: Norwood partnered with MUSC, large academic health system, to implement OP CDI. That was a challenge! As was the Chicago presentation. On today's episode we talk not only about MUSC's OP CDI efforts but the presentation itself, including the prep and leadup and “game day.” And much more on Tracy's unique leadership style and the importance of storytelling to drive home lessons (she's wonderful at this). Listen in as we discuss: Tracy's healthcare background, a memorable nursing experience, and path into CDI. The art of leadership: Style and lessons learned from childhood and beyond MUSC's outpatient CDI origins: The why behind the program What a pre-visit review looks like, including the use of Epic's Enhanced Risk Adjustment Framework. Governance, workflows, reporting, and early outcomes. Outpatient CDI impact and next steps for the new program Presenting at ACDIS 2026, including tips on prep and combatting stage nerves An unexpected Sharpie arm signature and a song for the OTR Spotify playlist...
Lyndale Ave is up for reconstruction, and a group of activists have been working for the last few years to make sure it has the best design it can. Let's listen in on their interview on the Wedge LIVE! podcast. Wedge LIVE! Shownotes After years of engagement and political wrangling, Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis are ready to approve a new design for Lyndale Avenue South between Franklin and Lake. Because the street was last reconstructed in 1934, the road surface and infrastructure underground are long overdue for a replacement. But reconstruction also gives us an opportunity for pedestrian, bike, and transit improvements on a corridor that includes the most dangerous intersection in the state of Minnesota. Julie Johnson, a senior community organizer with Move Minnesota, and Jeremy Winter, a Wedge-based volunteer agitator for "Livable Lyndale," join me for a conversation about what's at stake.

There is a statement that states "A man with an experience is never at a loss to a man with an idea." Anyone can present to you an intellectual idea or argument. Thoughts are presented to our minds. Scripture tells us to walk by faith and not by sight. It also tells us to walk by our spirit man and put our spirit man first before our minds. Our soul is composed of our mind, will and emotions. The enemy of our soul speaks to our soul, not our spirit. God our Father speaks to our spirit. Anyone who experiences a miracle is being given an invitation to have an encounter with God. . Come listen to Dr. Michael Yeager who has had many miraculous experiences in his life with the supernatural. More importantly these experiences were connected with his relationship with the risen Christ . Michael has written over 700 books, many of which describe encounters men and women of God have had.Have you had an encounter with the risen Christ? Do you want to have an encounter? God is a perfect gentleman and He will always respect your free will.No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day". The power of God is revealed in miracles. Miracles are real experiences that give evidence that God exists. Presenting an opportunity to anyone to have an encounter with God. Scripture clearly tells us the only way to God the Father is through the Son: He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.Come listen and whet your appetite to desire an encounter with God. Let the words spoken herein be seeds planted in the soil of your heart to bring forth a bountiful harvest. Blessings:Papa Tom
What does it mean to follow Jesus when governments demand your allegiance, your silence, or your fear? In this episode of The Bad Roman Project, Craig sits down with Ara Torosian, an Iranian-born Armenian pastor who grew up under the Islamic Republic of Iran, served in the underground church, and now pastors Iranian Christians in Los Angeles. Ara shares his journey from reading the Bible in Farsi as a teenager to smuggling Bibles, enduring house arrest, and witnessing the explosive growth of Christianity in Iran. He explains why many Western Christians misunderstand both Iran and the Iranian people, and why the underground church continues to thrive despite decades of persecution. The conversation also turns to the present. Ara discusses Iranian Christian asylum seekers detained by ICE, the challenges facing refugees fleeing persecution, and the responsibility Christians have to speak for those who have no voice. Along the way, Craig and Ara wrestle with difficult questions about war, government power, national loyalty, and what it means to follow Jesus when political solutions seem inadequate. At the heart of the discussion is a reminder that the Christian's ultimate citizenship is not found in America, Iran, or any earthly nation, but in the Kingdom of God. “I'm proud US citizen, but most important, I'm a heaven citizen.” — Ara Torosian Whether discussing persecution abroad or immigration policy at home, this episode calls listeners back to a simple but challenging truth: Jesus is King. Highlights & Takeaways The underground church in Iran continues to grow despite severe persecution. Iranian people should not be confused with the Iranian regime. Following Jesus often comes with a cost that Western Christians rarely consider. Christians are called to show mercy before choosing political sides. The church must resist the temptation to place political leaders above Christ. Refugees and asylum seekers are people, not political talking points. The Kingdom of God transcends every earthly nation and political movement. No King but Christ.

At American Express' annual meeting of shareholders, the company faced a shareholder proposal from Inspire Investing over its perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, one of the primary corporate activist rating systems for LGBTQ+ issues. Presenting at that meeting, along with Inspire's director of corporate engagement Tim Schwarzenberger, was Soren Aldaco, a detransitioner (someone who undergoes gender transition surgery and later regrets it). Aldaco talked to the company about the risks and ramifications of covering gender transition surgery in its healthcare, particularly for children as it appears that Amex does. This was a powerful example of the real human consequences of corporate policies that aid or adopt radical, activist social agendas - and why the corporate move away from such policies and back to sanity cannot come quickly enough.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
In a sales call, the person who controls the agenda usually controls the outcome. Buyers are busy, cautious and often defensive because they worry about wasted time, poor fit, cash flow pressure and being sold something they do not need. Professional salespeople do not bully the buyer, but they also do not drift along sweetly while the buyer runs the meeting. They build trust early, set a clear structure, ask intelligent questions and guide the conversation toward whether real value can be created. Why should salespeople control the sales meeting agenda? Salespeople should control the sales meeting agenda because buyers need structure, confidence and relevance before they will trust the conversation. Without a clear agenda, the meeting can wander into price, product features or objections before the salesperson understands the buyer's real business situation. In Japan, the United States, Europe and across Asia-Pacific, executives are under pressure to protect time, cash flow and decision quality. A buyer may be thinking, "Don't waste my time," "Don't erode my budget," or "Don't sell me something irrelevant." That is why the salesperson must professionally map the meeting from the start. This is not about domination. It is about leadership, clarity and respect. Do now: Open the meeting by explaining the value of the conversation, then propose a simple agenda before asking permission to proceed. How do salespeople build trust at the start of a sales call? Salespeople build trust by looking professional, sounding confident and explaining quickly who they are, what they do and who they have helped. Trust forms before the buyer has seen the proposal, the pricing or the solution. The stereotype of the salesperson is still damaging: pushy, smooth-talking, self-interested and focused on closing. Professionals must separate themselves from that image immediately. Appearance matters because buyers initially judge what they can see. Voice matters because hesitation, mumbling and unclear language signal uncertainty. A strong opening covers four points: who you are, what your company does, who else you have created success for and why the same may be possible for this buyer. Do now: Prepare a concise credibility opening that can be delivered clearly in under one minute. What should a salesperson say before asking discovery questions? Before asking discovery questions, the salesperson should explain the meeting flow and gain the buyer's agreement to that structure. This creates permission, reduces resistance and stops the buyer from hijacking the conversation. A useful sales call agenda starts with the benefit of the meeting for the buyer. Then the salesperson checks how familiar the buyer is with the company and asks about existing perceptions. After that, the conversation can move into the buyer's current situation, future goals, obstacles and the implications of not solving those challenges quickly enough. Only then should the salesperson ask detailed questions. Do now: Use a simple transition: "How does that agenda sound, and are there any items you would like to add?" Why should salespeople ask about buyer perceptions early? Salespeople should ask about buyer perceptions early because hidden resistance blocks trust and later slows or kills the sale. If a buyer has a negative view of the company, the salesperson needs to know before presenting solutions. Competitors may have spread rumours. A previous salesperson may have disappointed the client. The buyer may have experienced poor service, weak follow-up or unreliable communication. In Japanese B2B sales, where reputation, consistency and long-term trust carry heavy weight, unresolved perceptions can become silent deal-breakers. Asking early feels risky, but it is professional. If the issue is severe, it would block the sale anyway. Better to surface it, address it and show accountability. Do now: Ask calmly, "What perceptions do you currently have of our company?" Then listen without becoming defensive. How can salespeople respond to past negative experiences? Salespeople should respond to past negative experiences by acknowledging the issue, showing accountability and demonstrating that the company has changed. Defensive excuses weaken credibility; professional ownership strengthens it. If a buyer says a previous representative was unreliable, the salesperson can ask, "If a member of your sales team created complaints from customers, what would you do?" Most executives would say they would remove, retrain or replace that person. The salesperson can then say, "That is exactly what we did, and I am here now to make sure we provide real value." This approach reframes the issue from denial to responsibility. Do now: Prepare a calm, respectful response for common legacy objections before the meeting begins. Why should salespeople discuss speed to business goals? Salespeople should discuss speed because buyers may be able to reach their goals eventually, but the seller's value often lies in helping them get there faster. Time-to-result is a powerful business lever. A company may want higher revenue, stronger leadership, better sales performance or improved client retention over the next three to five years. Given unlimited time, many organisations could improve on their own. The sales opportunity appears when the salesperson explores what is slowing progress now: weak skills, unclear processes, poor execution, limited resources or market pressure. This is especially relevant for SMEs, multinationals and B2B firms competing in post-pandemic markets where speed, productivity and cash efficiency matter. Do now: Ask, "What is slowing your progress toward those goals, and what would faster achievement mean for the business?" Conclusion: Who should really run the sales call? The professional salesperson should guide the sales call, but the buyer's priorities must shape the conversation. That is the balance. The seller controls the structure; the buyer provides the truth. When salespeople open with credibility, map the agenda, surface perceptions, explore current and future states, identify obstacles and connect value to speed, they stop being pushed around and start acting like trusted advisers. The best salespeople are not aggressive closers. They are disciplined meeting leaders who create clarity for busy buyers and value for their own company. FAQs Should the salesperson or buyer set the sales agenda? The salesperson should propose the agenda, while giving the buyer room to add or adjust items. This keeps the meeting professional while respecting the buyer's priorities. Is asking about negative perceptions risky? Yes, but avoiding the question is riskier. Hidden objections often become silent deal-breakers, so strong salespeople surface them early. When should salespeople present their solution? Salespeople should present only after understanding the buyer's situation, goals, challenges and urgency.Presenting too early usually sounds generic and self-serving.

Veteran reporter Joe Nocera, of The Free Press, investigates a 94-year-old murder case that deserves a second look: the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh, Jr. Little Lindy was the infant son of the most famous man in the world at the time: an aviator who had achieved impossible feats. Unsurprisingly, the case was a media sensation in 1932: especially when German immigrant Bruno Hauptmann was tried and executed for the crime. Hauptmann professed his innocence to the end: but could he have been telling the truth? This is a series that asks: was this case America's first great conspiracy? The Free Press, like CBS News, is owned by Paramount Skydance.

The Problem with Too Much Choice Decision Paralysis: More choice makes it harder for people to make a decision, even though they may feel helped by having options. The Jam Study: An experiment showed that while 24 flavours of jam drew more viewers, only 3% bought. When only six flavours were offered, 30% bought jam (10 times the sales). Simplicity outweighs options when the goal is to influence a decision. The Mortgage Experiment Results The experiment compared a website with a mortgage rates table (offering many choices) against a simple web form (offering one choice: get mortgage advice). The rates table cut lead volume by 100%, meaning no calls or callback requests were generated. Presenting a selection of mortgages causes confusion for clients who are actually seeking expert advice. What Mortgage Brokers Should Do Instead The website should function as a tool to persuade people to book an appointment with an adviser, not to sell the mortgage itself. Offer a Single Choice: The only option presented on the website should be to get advice. Make the Form Prominent: Do not hide the form behind a button. The form should be at the top of every page, as many visitors are returning, and a prominent form leads to more conversions. Build a Strong Foundation: Removing the rates table is a major part of the solution, but it is not a "silver bullet" on its own. Successful pages in the test included a variety of elements alongside the form: Recent Five-Star Reviews: Google and Trustpilot reviews are crucial assets, as they are sources people know and trust. Persuasive Copywriting. Niche Content: Tailoring content to a specific mortgage scenario (e.g., first-time buyers with a self-employed partner) helps address the client's exact problem and increases their likelihood of reaching out.

THE Presentations Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Imposter syndrome does not disappear just because someone becomes a business owner, Ph.D., author, trainer, executive, or recognised expert. The voice in the head still asks, "Who do you think you are?" The answer is not perfection. The answer is humility, preparation, integrity, and the courage to share what we do know. Why do presenters feel imposter syndrome? Presenters feel imposter syndrome because public speaking exposes them to judgement, comparison, and the fear of being found short. The more visible the platform, the louder the inner critic can become. Some people grow up with confidence-building advantages: elite schools, international travel, family connections, debate practice, and early exposure to public speaking. Good for them. For many others in Japan, Australia, the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, the path is more ordinary or rocky. They build careers through effort, discipline, and persistence. Then one day the company asks them to present to the team, speak at an industry event, join a webinar, or represent the firm publicly. Suddenly the mind asks, "Am I really qualified?" Do now: Recognise imposter syndrome as a normal reaction to visibility, not proof that you should stay silent. Can successful leaders still suffer from imposter syndrome? Yes, successful leaders can suffer from imposter syndrome even after gaining degrees, titles, ownership, awards, and expertise. Achievement does not automatically erase old self-doubt. A person can own a company, hold a doctorate, publish books, lead teams, and speak frequently, yet still feel like the kid from the old neighbourhood. Identity has long roots. In executive communication, leadership training, sales presentations, and keynote speaking, external credentials help, but internal confidence may lag behind. This is especially common when leaders move across cultures, industries, or languages. A foreign executive in Japan, a founder pitching investors, or a manager addressing a multinational team may all wonder whether they truly belong at the front of the room. Do now: Stop assuming confidence comes automatically with credentials. Build it through repeated, honest practice. How does perfectionism make presenting harder? Perfectionism makes presenting harder because it convinces speakers they need complete knowledge before they have the right to speak. That standard is impossible and paralysing. No presenter has absolute knowledge. Not the CEO, not the professor, not the consultant, not the trainer, not the bestselling author. The healthier mindset is relativity: you may know more than many people in the room about a particular topic, while still being a student of the craft. That is enough. In business presentations, the goal is not to claim omniscience. The goal is to offer useful experience, examples, frameworks, and judgement. The old line about the one-eyed person being king in the kingdom of the blind captures the point, even if it stings a little. Do now: Replace "I must know everything" with "I can share what I know while continuing to learn." What should presenters do when an expert is in the audience? Presenters should welcome experts in the audience and invite their contribution where appropriate. Their presence does not diminish the speaker; it can enrich the session. When a bona fide expert appears in the room, the imposter voice may panic. Don't. Acknowledge their expertise, ask for their view on a specific point, and let the audience benefit. This is not surrender. It is confidence. Audiences in boardrooms, conferences, universities, and professional associations appreciate a speaker who can create dialogue rather than pretend to dominate every subject. The expert is unlikely to leap up and denounce you as a fraud. More often, they add colour, nuance, or a useful example. Do now: Treat expertise in the room as an asset. Share the stage intellectually without giving away your authority. How should speakers handle criticism or hostile questions? Speakers should never argue with the audience; they should acknowledge different views, stay calm, and let the wider audience judge. Fighting from the stage usually weakens the speaker. In karate, taisabaki means moving to the side so the attacker strikes empty air. Presenters can use the same idea. Do not stand rigidly in front of criticism, trying to prove perfect knowledge. Move aside by saying, "That is a useful perspective," or "There are different views on this." If someone cherry-picks your words, removes context, or misrepresents your point, stay composed. Public opposition can create mental fog, especially in live forums e, webinars, panels, or Q&A sessions. The perfect answer may arrive an hour too late. That is still learning. Do now: Prepare calm response phrases before the event. Do not let one hostile question drag you into a public wrestling match. How can presenters build trust despite self-doubt? Presenters build trust by admitting limits, showing integrity, and offering genuine value without pretending to be perfect. Humility makes the speaker harder to attack. When speakers openly accept that they are still learning, there is no hard target. The audience already knows nobody has perfect knowledge. What they want is sincerity, preparation, and something useful. This matters in Japan's consensus-driven business culture, in US-style debate environments, and in European or Asia-Pacific professional settings. The speaker who allows diverse views, avoids defensiveness, and keeps the brand intact looks more trustworthy, not less. Nervous? Keep it to yourself. Most audiences want the presenter to succeed and will not notice the nerves nearly as much as the speaker imagines. Do now: Be honest about limitations, generous with other viewpoints, and disciplined about not broadcasting your nerves. Conclusion: How can leaders overcome imposter syndrome when presenting? Imposter syndrome loses power when we stop pretending we need to be flawless. The real standard is not perfection. The real standard is integrity. Do we know something useful? Have we prepared? Can we help the audience think, act, or improve? Can we stay humble when challenged? If the answer is yes, then we have the right to speak. We can stand up, share what we know, invite other views, and keep learning. The doubts may still mutter in the background, but they do not get to run the meeting, the presentation, the webinar, or the keynote. FAQs Is imposter syndrome common in public speaking? Yes, imposter syndrome is common because presenting makes people visible and open to judgement. Even experienced leaders can feel exposed when they speak publicly. Do I need to be a complete expert before presenting? No, you do not need perfect knowledge before presenting. You need useful experience, preparation, integrity, and the humility to keep learning. What should I do if an audience member knows more than me? Acknowledge their expertise and invite their input where useful. This shows confidence and gives the audience more value. How should I respond to hostile questions? Stay calm, avoid arguing, and acknowledge that different views may exist. Let the audience judge the exchange rather than turning it into a fight. Should I tell the audience I am nervous? Usually, no. Keep your nerves to yourself because most audiences want you to succeed and may not notice. Focus on helping them rather than announcing your anxiety.

GSP Homes is closing over 50 off-market deals a year plus 15 to 20 flips, and they're doing it with a system that converts in-person appointments at a 50% rate. Cannon Wilson is their acquisitions manager, and he walks through how they give every seller three options: a cash offer, a private listing to their network of 3,500 buyers, or a full MLS listing. He also covers how they use DealMachine to pull leads, how their cold caller is booking 15 to 16 appointments a week, and how their new 90-day sprint program gets investors to pay upfront for first look at deals.

Presenting an episode of Family Lore, a new show on the Audacy network. The granddaughter of a prolific Jewish art collector who fled Europe during World War II embarks on a quest to recover the looted art.
Hello Detectives! Today we are delighted to introduce you to The Lion and the Adder, who are wrapping up their crowdfund soon and need our help to produce this season of top-tier historical detective-based audio fiction! (Check out their crowdfund HERE RIGHT HERE.) The Lion and the Adder is the first season of a new audio drama series from Monstrous Productions inspired by the Golden Age of detective fiction. When a young man disappears in a suspected demonic possession, Robin Sylvester - a physicist specializing in the science of demon summoning - is called in to help solve the case. He's joined by Detective Inspector Nicholas Hawthorn and consulting psychic Evelyn “Bash” Sebastian in a 1920s supernatural detective story that blurs the lines between science, magic and religion. If you love the work of Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, and Dorothy Sayers and wondered what that style of prose sounded like mixed with plenty of supernatural elements and heart, fully produced with a full voice cast and immersive sound design then head on over to Monstrous Production's Kickstarter to check out more about the show!

"Something old, something new, something red white and blue." The American Book of Fables is Dr. Matthew Mehan and artist John Folley's latest children's book—or, rather, family book—presented for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It offers a delightful education in civics, geography, history, and love of country by combining the American founding documents, short poetry, new and ancient fables, and whimsical oil paintings all mapped to the American landscape. This week on HeightsCast, Dr. Mehan shares the ideas behind the book's creation and what he hopes "littles, middles, and bigs" can all come to appreciate through a layered work like this.
