TODAY'S VIDEO: A free prayer providing context about the work of the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the refiner's fire of God. THE FIRE OF REFINEMENT IS NOT EASY NOR IS IT MEANT TO BE EASY. Warfare by definition is not easy, but what makes it harder is presumption of a higher office & station than we're able to stand at. What are the rules of engagement, are you familiar with them? YOU CANNOT GET ANY MORE TERRITORY THAN YOU ARE ABLE OR WILLING TO MAINTAIN. YOU CANNOT HOLD ANY HIGHER OFFICE THAN YOU ARE WORTHY OF. YOU CANNOT BE PROMOTED WITHOUT COMPLETING THE LAST STAGE YOU WERE TESTED AT. IF YOU BUILD POORLY YOU WILL BE SENT BACK TO THE BEGINNING TO BUILD BETTER. IF YOU BUILD WELL HOLD YOUR POSITION AND YOU WILL BE PROMOTED. PROMOTION, HIGHER OFFICE, AND ALL "BETTER THINGS" COME AT A COST. PAY IT. GOD IS THE ONE SETTING THE COURSE, THE PACE, AND THE TESTS IN JESUS NAME. REFINEMENT IS WHAT MAKES YOU FIT TO COMMAND MORE TERRITORY AND HAVE MORE. PROCESSING IS WHAT MAKES YOU STRONG ENOUGH TO DO MORE, FOR YOU & FOR OTHERS.

professional."Nl: Femke sprong op van enthousiasme.En: Femke jumped up with enthusiasm.Nl: "Laat me het thema bepalen.En: "Let me decide the theme.Nl: We maken er een lenteviering van!"En: We'll make

mind.Nl: De dag van het feest kwam snel.En: The day of the party arrived quickly.Nl: In plaats van een formele bijeenkomst zag het kantoor er totaal anders uit.En: Instead of a formal meeting, the office looked completely different.Nl: Langs de gangen hingen pastelgekleurde slingers, en her en der in de open ruimte lagen Paaseieren verstopt.En: Pastel-colored streamers hung along the hallways,

as he saw the colored eggs lying in the corners.Nl: "Het komt goed," stelde Femke hem gerust en lachte.En: "It'll be alright," reassured Femke with a laugh.Nl: "Kijk, iedereen lijkt het leuk te vinden!"En: "Look, everyone seems to be enjoying it!"Nl: En inderdaad, de collega's liepen lachend rond en zochten naar verstopte eieren.En: And indeed, the colleagues were walking around laughing and searching for hidden eggs.Nl: Het kantoor was veranderd in een plek van vreugde en creativiteit.En: The office had transformed into a place of joy and creativity.Nl: Toen meneer Vos arriveerde, moest

success.Nl: Het bracht iets onverwachts naar voren, iets dat de saaie werkdag opvrolijkte.En: It brought something unexpected to light, something that brightened the dull workday.Nl: Bram leerde de waarde van spontane momenten en ontdekte dat creativiteit ook professioneel kon zijn.En: Bram learned the value of spontaneous moments and discovered that creativity could also be professional.Nl: Femke begreep nu dat zelfs bij plezier een beetje planning belangrijk kon zijn.En: Femke now understood that even fun could benefit from a bit of planning.Nl: Toen iedereen vertrok, bleef het gevoel van vrolijkheid in de lucht hangen.En: As everyone left, the feeling of cheer lingered in the air.Nl: Hun baas was blij, en Bram had misschien eindelijk die promotie binnen handbereik.En: Their boss was happy, and Bram might finally have that promotion within reach.Nl: En terwijl de zon langzaam achter de horizon zakte, wisten Bram en Femke dat ze samen iets bijzonders hadden bereikt.En: And as

den milda brisen förde med sig doften av blommande träd.En: Spring made its presence known through the open windows, and the mild breeze carried the scent of blooming trees.Sv: Inne i byggnaden var energin påtaglig, och man kände spänningen inför en viktig resa.En: Inside the building, the energy was palpable, and there was a sense of excitement in anticipation of an important trip.Sv: Elina, en

be perfect for the conference in Barcelona.Sv: Sven satt lugnt vid sitt skrivbord, hans avslappnade stil stod i skarp kontrast till Elinas spända hållning.En: Sven sat calmly at his desk, his relaxed style in stark contrast to Elina's tense demeanor.Sv: Han skulle också med på resan och såg fram emot sol och strand.En: He was also going on the trip and was looking forward to the sun and the beach.Sv: "Ingen anledning att stressa," skrattade han, när Elina för fjärde gången justerade sina papper.En: "No reason to stress," he laughed, as Elina rearranged her papers for the fourth time.Sv:

quick decision.Sv: Hon kunde antingen hålla fast vid sina detaljerade planer eller anpassa sig till den nya situationen.En: She could either stick to her detailed plans or adapt to the new situation.Sv: Med ett djupt andetag vände sig Elina mot sin team.En: With a deep breath, Elina turned to her team.Sv: "Sven," började hon, "kan du se över möjligheterna för ett sista minuten-flyg?En: "Sven," she began, "can you check the options for a last-minute flight?Sv: Och Astrid, jag behöver att du tar hand om kunden i mitt ställe."En: And Astrid, I need you to take care of the customer in my place."Sv: Det var ett djärvt beslut, ett hopp i det okända för Elina, som vanligtvis kontrollerade varje detalj.En: It was a bold decision, a leap into the unknown for Elina, who usually controlled every detail.Sv: Trots en gnagande oro, insåg hon att hennes team hade vad som krävdes.En: Despite a gnawing anxiety, she realized that her team had what it took.Sv: Det behövdes inte

känsla av trygghet i laget och en lättare syn på framtida utmaningar, log Elina.En: With a new sense of confidence in her team and a lighter outlook on future challenges, Elina smiled.Sv: Våren utanför fönstret var nu en påminnelse om förändring och tillväxt, både för naturen och för henne själv.En: The spring outside the window was now a reminder of change and growth, both for nature and for herself.Sv: Hon, som alltid varit så stel i sina planer, hade lärt sig en värdefull läxa om flexibilitet och tillit.En: She, who had always been so rigid in her plans, had learned a valuable

The Louisiana Department of Health “will no longer promote mass vaccination” according to a memo written by the state's top health official and obtained by The Associated Press. A department spokesperson confirmed Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham had ordered his staff to stop engaging in media campaigns and community health fairs to encourage vaccinations, even as the state has experienced a surge in influenza. In a separate letter posted on the department's website, Louisiana's surgeon general decried “blanket government mandates” for vaccines and criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID-19 vaccination push. Individuals should make their own decisions about vaccinations, Abraham said. “Government should admit the limitations of its role in people's lives and pull back its tentacles from the practice of medicine,” said Abraham, a Republican. The department will still “stock and provide vaccines," according to Abraham's memo. Jennifer Herricks, founder of the advocacy group Louisiana Families for Vaccines, said she feared that the new directive would lead to an increase in preventable illnesses and deaths. “We are very concerned for people in Louisiana who have historically depended on vaccination drives to get easily accessible vaccines that are no longer going to be available,” Herricks said. In liberal New Orleans, the city council passed a resolution vowing to continue supporting vaccination efforts. The city's Health Department Director Jennifer Avegno said state-supported efforts have led thousands of people to receive vaccines in the past. However, she anticipates vaccination rates for preventable diseases will drop due to the state's new policy and misinformation promoted by the surgeon general's letter. She pointed out that vaccines are most effective when they are widespread. “Public health is really united on this issue: For more than a century, vaccines of all kinds have been a cornerstone of improving public health in America,” Avegno told the city council. “There's not scientific debate on this, this is as close as you can get to established fact that vaccinations, particularly mass vaccinations, and community immunity, saves millions and millions of lives.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

India's beauty market is expected to grow from $7.43 billion in 2025 to $9.69 billion by 2034. “This is a first-of-its-kind initiative,” said Sanjiv, Joint Secretary, DPIIT. With India boasting the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, this partnership could drive innovation and scaling opportunities for beauty entrepreneurs. 3. India's IT Stocks Plunge Amid Growth Concerns India's top IT firms—TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra—saw their stocks fall up to 4.28%, erasing ₹75,414 crore in market value. Brokerages Morgan Stanley, Kotak Institutional Equities, and Motilal Oswal flagged concerns over sluggish IT spending recovery in FY26-27. High interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and vendor consolidation are slowing discretionary tech spending. “We see a transition phase where IT spending is reprioritized, moderating growth,” noted Morgan Stanley analysts. Despite these headwinds, Nasscom projects the IT industry to cross $300 billion by March 2026, implying 6.2% annual growth, though analysts remain skeptical. 4. Gold's Surge Raises India's Sovereign Gold Bond Liabilities As gold prices soar and equities struggle, the Indian government faces rising liabilities on its Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme, which ties payouts to gold's market price. Gold has outperformed equities since 2015, rising 3.46 times its value, while Nifty 50 has declined. ₹2.39 trillion has already been paid under gold-related schemes since 2017, with another ₹1.4 trillion budgeted for 2024-26. With 132,000 kg of gold equivalent set for payout between 2025 and 2032, a prolonged gold rally could strain government finances, making this a key issue for policymakers and investors. 5. Wendy's, Rebel Foods to Open 500 Locations in India by 2028 Rebel Foods will invest ₹100-150 crore to expand Wendy's footprint in India, targeting 500 locations by 2028. The expansion leans heavily on cloud kitchens, which will account for 70% of new openings. Currently, Wendy's operates in 200 locations, with 185 cloud kitchens and 15 offline stores. India's quick-service restaurant (QSR) market is growing at a 23% CAGR, but profitability remains challenging due to inflation and competition. Rebel Foods CEO Ankush Grover expects the IPL season to boost sales. Rebel Foods, which runs over 450 cloud kitchens across India, the Middle East, and the UK, recently raised $210 million from Temasek to fuel expansion.

Visibility can make or break your career. If no one sees your impact, do you really have any influence? In this episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, we dive into why strategic visibility is essential for career growth and leadership success. If you've ever thought, “But I'm doing my job well—shouldn't that be enough?”, this episode is for you. Learn how to position yourself for opportunities, build influence, and own your narrative—without feeling like you're self-promoting.Key Takeaways:✅ Visibility drives career growth. Promotions, key projects, and leadership roles don't happen just because you work hard—they happen because the right people know what you bring to the table.✅ Influence comes from being seen and heard. When you show up in meetings, discussions, and industry events, you establish credibility and authority.✅ Control your narrative before someone else does. If you don't shape how people see you, assumptions will be made—and they may not work in your favor.✅ Visibility doesn't mean bragging—it means impact. Find natural ways to share your successes.✅ Your network amplifies your visibility. Surround yourself with mentors, allies, and sponsors who will help raise your profile."If no one sees those contributions, you're going to struggle to get recognized, to get promoted, to negotiate your salary or your bonus, or even to get invited to the table where key decisions are being made." - Karen GombaultVisibility isn't about being the loudest—it's about being seen by the right people at the right time. Are you making it easy for decision-makers to recognize your value? If not, it's time to change that. Want a clear strategy to build your visibility? Join my live workshop on March 28th, where I'll walk you through my Visibility Pyramid and Networking Strategy to create a 30-day personalized visibility plan you can implement right away.

Send us a textThe insidious nature of the glass cliff phenomenon stands as a stark reality for Black women in professional spaces, creating a precarious balancing act between opportunity and setup. While many understand the concept of the glass ceiling, fewer recognize how Black women are strategically positioned at the edge of organizational precipices, handed leadership roles specifically during times of crisis when the probability of failure looms large.This episode dissects how organizations conveniently embrace diversity when facing turbulence—appointing Black women to firefight situations they didn't create, with inadequate resources and impossible timelines. Through compelling examples like Kemi Badenoch's leadership of the struggling Conservative Party and Kamala Harris's eleventh-hour presidential candidacy, we examine the calculated pattern that reinforces harmful stereotypes when inevitable challenges arise.Beyond career implications, we explore the geopolitical landscape of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, examining how NATO expansion, natural gas pipelines, and global politics affect everyday taxpayers. This connects to our central theme by highlighting how power structures function on both micro and macro levels. The conversation extends to corporate developments at Deloitte and Goldman Sachs, alongside Pat McGrath's groundbreaking appointment at Louis Vuitton—demonstrating both challenges and breakthroughs for Black representation.Remember that true progress isn't measured by token appointments during crises but by equitable opportunities across all conditions. As you navigate your professional journey, recognise these patterns and position yourself strategically. True representation means Black Women being promoted in all circumstances, not just when an organisation needs saving. Be the architect of your own career and recognise when you're being set up to fail.Your career deserves architecture that builds toward sustainable success rather than precarious positioning at the edge of someone else's crisis. Take time to rest, as we acknowledge the National Day of Rest for Black Women, because the path to authentic leadership begins with caring for yourself.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star
Discover how self-leadership and healthy habits can transform HR issues into opportunities for growth, featuring insights from health and leadership coach Suzanne Rath. In this insightful episode of Talking with the Experts, host Rose Davidson engages in a compelling conversation with Suzanne Rath, a renowned health and leadership coach, about the profound connection between self-leadership, healthy habits, and the resolution of common HR challenges. Suzanne begins by sharing her personal journey, highlighting how a life-altering cycling accident in 2013 became the catalyst for her mission to integrate physical and mental health solutions. This experience led her to establish Wellness Embodied, a multidisciplinary clinic in Cairns, designed to treat the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms. Drawing from over two decades of experience, Suzanne emphasizes that many prevalent HR issues—such as employee disengagement and burnout—are often manifestations of underlying health problems. She advocates for a proactive approach, where fostering self-leadership and cultivating healthy habits among employees can lead to enhanced engagement and productivity. By empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being, organizations can create a more vibrant and resilient workforce. Suzanne outlines practical strategies for leaders to implement within their teams. These include promoting regular physical activity, encouraging mindfulness practices, and facilitating open dialogues about health and well-being. She underscores the importance of leaders modelling these behaviours, as their actions set the tone for organizational culture. By prioritizing their own health, leaders not only improve their performance but also inspire their teams to follow suit. ⚙️ THREE KEY POINT FROM THE INTERVIEW: 1. Self-Leadership as a Solution to HR Challenges: Encouraging employees to take ownership of their health can mitigate issues like disengagement and burnout. 2. The Role of Leaders in Modelling Healthy Behaviours: Leaders who prioritize their well-being set a positive example, fostering a culture of health within their organizations. 3. Economic Benefits of Health-Focused Workplace Initiatives: Investing in employee health leads to reduced absenteeism and increased productivity, positively impacting the organization's financial health. This episode offers valuable insights for leaders and organizations aiming to transform HR challenges into opportunities by prioritizing health and self-leadership. ✨ CONNECT WITH SUZANNE: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563055677289 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzanne-rath-29545783 Website: https://www.suzannerath.com.au

In episode 663, Megan chats with Jess Smith to uncover the untold truths of traditional cookbook publishing—from crafting a winning proposal to landing a deal, and whether a large social media following really matters. Jess is a mom to three girls based in Kansas City, Missouri. While living in Thailand and working at the U.S. Embassy in 2010 she took Thai cooking classes on the weekends and shared everything she learned on her food blog InquiringChef.com. In the years that followed she pursued her dream of making a career in food and became the chief recipe developer for the award-winning meal planning app Cook Smarts. Inquiring Chef has grown to over 6 million page views a year and has been featured in publications like Parade, Hallmark, and HuffPost. In 2024 Jess opened a cooking school for kids in Kansas City called Inquiring Chef Academy where she spends school breaks guiding elementary-aged kids through lessons on everything from baking sourdough to chopping vegetables to setting the table. Her first cookbook, Start with a Vegetable, will be released in January 2025. In this episode, you'll learn how to write a compelling proposal, find an agent, work with a publisher and balance the whole process with running a blog and looking after your family. Key points discussed include: - A strong proposal is essential: Jess spent 6–8 months crafting a compelling proposal, which played a crucial role in landing her book deal. - An agent can be a game-changer: Having an agent helped Jess find a publisher and negotiate a significantly better advance. - A huge social following isn't required: Jess landed a traditional publishing deal without massive social media numbers—her strong concept and blog traffic helped. - Cookbook writing requires balance: Writing a book took time away from blogging, requiring a shift in priorities. - The editing process is intense: Working with professional editors improved her writing and recipe development skills. - Promotion is an ongoing effort: The marketing push doesn't end at launch—Jess continues to promote her book through various channels. - Photography can be a major challenge: Jess took all the photos for her book, which was rewarding but also a significant time commitment. - Investing in support is worth it: Hiring help for styling, editing, and even dishwashing made the process smoother and more manageable.

Automating mobile promotions facilitates customization through geo-location and temporal targeting; however, this can lead the geographic and temporal patterns of promotions to become predictable. We argue that this predictability enables customer habit formation as the promotion, the context in which it is received, and the purchase behavior become associated in the customer's memory through repeated co-occurrence. This results in the customer purchasing only when promotions are expected to occur, decreasing their overall purchase likelihood. Across four studies, including empirical data from two different industries in different global regions and two controlled laboratory experiments focused on different purchase scenarios, we find that customers exposed to predictable promotion patterns shift their purchases to when promotions are expected, decreasing overall purchase probability. These effects are stronger for customers with consistent past purchase patterns or low involvement with the product, and predictability of promotion patterns does not impact customer attitudes, providing evidence that they are driven by customer habit formation.

Episode 509 - Stacey Sanderson - Heart Wide Open, A Holistic Guide to Self Recovery from Narcissistic Wounding - No Not Enought Button, No Wake SignStacey Sanderson and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Holistic Life Coach.It's my mission to help people heal and release relationship patterns and step into their power. As part of my own healing and recovery process I dove into understanding personality pathology and focused on this and the biopsychosocial roots of this issue.For the last twenty years I have sought to better understand narcissism from the point of view of trauma, attachment and energy. With many years experience as a therapist, I wanted to create a more heart-centered and holistic approach in my work with clients, integrating trauma and somatic modalities with meditation, mindfulness, expressive arts.My work is collaborative and intuitively guided. A lot of the time, this work is about empowering empaths! I believe that there is healing in connection and community. My own personal healing from narcissistic family and work systems came full circle when I stepped into my power and full potential - and I know you can do the same!I live in rural Ontario, Canada where I enjoy being in nature either running, skiing, kayaking or gardening! I have been married for 27 years and have two adult children, our beautiful rescue dog Zoe and two cats. I have a small private psychotherapy practice, and my passion is in leading the Inquire Within relationship recovery community.Book: Heart Wide OpenA Holistic Guide to Self Recovery from Narcissistic Woundingby Stacey SandersonAs a practising psychotherapist, Stacey Sanderson takes a holistic and trauma-based approach to healing in her work with clients who are—or have been—involved in narcissistic relationships. In Heart Wide Open: A Holistic Guide to Narcissistic Recovery, she delves into the roots and consequences of such relationships through a comprehensive examination of a number of factors, including attachment theory, family dynamics, and early childhood trauma. At times, Stacey draws upon her own personal experience of recovery to bring her point poignantly home. The book includes a series of self-directed exercises, or “Journal Prompts,” to help readers develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics of toxic relationships in their own lives. With Stacey's guidance, this self-delving leads readers toward self-compassion and healing through what she refers to as “Compassionate Detachment.”Heart Wide Open: A Holistic Guide to Narcissistic Recovery, written in down-to-earth accessible language, is a must-read for those who want to learn more about narcissism and narcissists, their own personal relationship patterns, and how they can create powerful interpersonal boundaries to facilitate healing. The emphasis is on recovering the vital aspects of the self that had to be hidden in order to survive the relationship. Now, it's time to break free of unhealthy cycles to make room for the love you deserve.https://www.staceysanderson.ca/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
