Presented by Lauren Stibgen Integrity is a big word in business. It is found in codes of conduct, employee handbooks, and job descriptions as a catch all word. I was curious about how much the word integrity shows up in job descriptions alone. According to ChatGPT, this word appears one to three times in postings for leadership, finance, healthcare, ministry, nonprofit, and executive roles.  But what does it mean? Those who have been around for a while know I love my Merriam-Webster dictionary as a launching point. According to Merriam-Webster, integrity has three definitions1. firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values: incorruptibility.  an unimpaired condition: soundness.  the quality or state of being complete or undivided: completeness.   As always, the problem with any dictionary definition is it is open to a wide lens of interpretation. Whose moral code is the right moral code? Surely, we have a legal standard within business laws that are guardrails, but this doesn't stop people from having a lack of integrity. It just establishes the standard by which we measure a consequence.   As for an unimpaired condition, we have building codes for this to make sure the structural integrity of a building or a bridge is intact. But again, this can be challenged by builders who skirt the codes to save some money!  And, what about the state of being complete or undivided? You may hear someone say the opinion written by someone has integrity—meaning the paper is complete.  The problem with integrity? Sometimes it is high and sometimes it is low. Like the temperature variance here in the Midwest between January and July, integrity can be wildly off! So, how can we distill down?   In an article entitled “Integrity” from the Harvard Business Review, Karen Christensen interviewed Harvard professor, Michael Jensen who says, “Integrity is a matter of a person's word—nothing more and nothing less.”2 Like the third definition of being complete or undivided, keeping one's word is about doing what you say you are going to do. He separates integrity from the concepts of morality and ethics stating morality and ethics are “normative concepts in that they deal with matters of good or bad, right vs. wrong”. For example, as a Christian, I have a normative set of values that are likely held by other Christians. As I noted above, who's good is good?   Jensen argues that integrity is key to what he calls workability within an organization. “Without integrity the workability of any object, system, person, group or organization declines; and as workability declines, the opportunity for performance declines.” He states that integrity leads to trust.  As a follower of Jesus, I am called to a high standard of morals and ethics. How I keep my word following these morals and ethics is where my integrity comes into play. We will all fail to keep our word at various levels. Sometimes, Jensen argues, we even fail to honor our word to ourselves. This could look like failing to go to the gym when we promised to wake up early to work out to something more aggreges like cheating on our spouse when we promised to be faithful. Like I said, various levels. In the Christian vernacular we call this sin—where our word to keep the standards set by our faith isn't kept. Doing this on repeat makes us seem unreliable, inconsistent and unpredictable according to Jensen. It breaks trust.  In business, these actions lead to broken workplaces and a true lack of performance. Someone breaks her word and doesn’t show up to a meeting. Someone accepts a supplier known to treat its employees poorly, failing to keep her word to uphold the company’s supply chain ethics. Someone accepts a kickback from a vendor for a referral, breaking her word to honor the company’s code of ethics.  GE married the concepts of integrity and performance, weaving integrity into every aspect of their culture. They put into place very specific consequences for violating their company's moral and ethical boundaries especially for leaders who were not holding to the standards. In the Harvard Business Review article, “Avoiding Integrity Land Minds”, the article says, “In no area of corporate life is leadership commitment more important that in creating an integrity culture.”3 They knew if leaders were not walking the talk there were huge implications from the top down for the erosion of integrity in the business.  But what happens when your company culture doesn't value integrity or makes you feel like you are unable to keep your integrity as a Christian? What can you do?  First, what does biblical integrity look like as a Christian? If the matter is as simple as someone's word, as Jensen argues, I would say Christian integrity founded on God's Word is anything but simple. It is a difficult standard to meet, especially given our example is Jesus Christ who was perfect in every way. He kept his word. He was consistent even down to the patterns of his life like waking up early to seek God in prayer. He was obedient to God the Father unto death. You see, Jesus kept his word perfectly to God.  Even our other examples of integrity in the Bible hold a very high standard to keeping one's word. Think of Abraham. God called for him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. He kept his word to be obedient to God getting all the way to the altar before God faithfully kept his promise of make Abraham the father of many nations (Genesis 17:5). Or even Daniel. He refused to worship the idol of his king and was sentenced to death in the lions' den. Daniel kept his word to worship no other God, and God ultimately protected Daniel.  As I stated earlier, the standard to which we need to keep our word is high. We are to act like Christ when it comes to integrity—keeping his word to God. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me (John 6:38).  We are to live to the glory of God no matter what we do (1 Corinthians 10:31), take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5), and not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Romans 12:2). We are called to put off our old selves, corrupt and deceitful and to put on our new selves which are created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:22-24).  All of this takes work! Being in God's Word, spending time in prayer, finding community with other believers, guarding our heart, and repenting when we don't live up to our word to God are marks of the Christian life. People should see this in you through integrity and consistency, in keeping your word to God to become more like Jesus every day. We are told to put to death whatever belongs to our earthly nature (Colossians 3:5).  Now, back to our workplace. What happens when we are working in a company which doesn't value integrity or makes us feel like we can't keep our word to Christian integrity? The first thing I want to remind you is your workplace is probably not applying the same moral and ethical standard you are when it comes to your faith. Certainly, normal standards are in place, like codes of conduct, standards, and employee handbooks, but even these will never meet the measure of a perfect Jesus. However, when a company is consistently inconsistent, you may be left feeling like you really don't fit in at all. If a company doesn't do what they say they will do in the case of a violation or even with someone lacking performance, by Jensen's definition, the company culture is lacking integrity.  Keeping in mind that you may be the only light this workplace will ever encounter, I want to suggest some actions you can consider when you feel like your personal integrity and the company's integrity are not aligned.  Of course, you may start very practically by having a conversation with your manager or another trusted party within the organization. It is essential to be careful not to cause further disruptions by talking about your opinion with too many people. If you have a trusted colleague, start by asking some probing questions if you aren't sure if you are alone in your feelings. Something like, “Hey, have you noticed we aren't paying our bills on time?” or “It seems like XYZ department is constantly hiring new people because there is a lot of turn over. I have heard the manager raise their voice a lot. Have you ever witnessed this?”  Remember gossip is something we are called to avoid. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies (Psalm 34:13).  Letting someone know how the company may consider changes to better the culture and improve trust may be welcomed. Always have specific, factual, and constructive feedback to provide. Complaining is not a solution.  Of course, if you are asked to do something which lacks integrity big or small you should speak up and let the person know you are not comfortable performing what you are being asked. Again, report this to a manager or higher up in your organization if it was your manager asking you to perform the action.  If the issues persist or you aren't taken seriously, you may also consider leaving the company, but what if this is not an easy option for you? You need the work, and despite looking for other positions, you are going to be just where you are for now.   Remember, even when we don't feel it, God is working all things for our good and for his glory (Romans 8:28). One of the most difficult things we are called to do, aside from having Christlike integrity, is wait. This can be especially difficult when we find ourselves in a culture that doesn't fit.   When the practical and tactical suggestions I mentioned don't work and we find ourselves in the waiting, we can find strength in abiding closer to the Lord in Christ Jesus. Reading the Bible, memorizing Scripture, praying, and building community are all important and will give you the encouragement you need to hold your integrity.  Psalm 37 has recently brought me a lot of encouragement through a period of difficulty. I found the verses were giving me some great advice. It says:   Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong… Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this… Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes (Psalm 37:1, 3-5, 7).  God doesn't want me to worry. He wants me to delight in him and trust him. He wants me to commit my ways to him and to be still. Easier said than done when you are feeling challenged in your integrity right?  Fretting is worrying heavily or being concerned or unhappy about things you cannot control. It happens when we get so wrapped up in these matters it impacts us physically and emotionally. Has stress ever given you a headache or made you cry? Turn your fret into a prayer. Rather than repeating a matter repeatedly in your head, say it out loud to God! He wants to hear from you. These prayers can be simple.  “God, I don't feel like my workplace has integrity. Help me Lord to be a light to others around me. Help me Lord to be different, to be a light to others that they might come to know you.”  Delighting in God can bring encouragement! Think of all the wonderful ways he is working in your life. Think of Jesus and the sacrifice he made for you on the cross. Think of his steadfast love and assurance. Recommit yourself each day to doing God's work! We are called to make disciples and love others.  And we can just be still. God promises he will act on our behalf. Reminding myself of these things again helps me not only to be encouraged in my own integrity but also to show this to others.  How can you hold your word to God today? How can you hold your word to others today? Showing integrity is doing what you say you are going to do with consistency. Write down a few ways you can grow your Christlike integrity today.  Sources:  Merriam-Webster, s.v. “integrity,” accessed June 8, 2026, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/integrity.

For your Expansion Season.

Guided Question How would you evaluate your spiritual progress today — are you cultivating a deeper desire for God's presence, drawing strength from Him in difficult seasons, and growing in a life marked by trust and obedience? Summary This episode explores Psalm 84 and what Dr. Robert Lewis calls the "Signs of a Pilgrim's Progress." He reminds us that life's highest calling is to know God, yet the distractions and demands of everyday life often cause us to lose sight of that purpose. Using Psalm 84, Dr. Lewis identifies three marks of genuine spiritual growth. First is a yearning heart—a deep desire for God's presence that produces contentment and praise. Second is increasing strength, which comes through continual communion with God and enables believers to pass through life's "Valleys of Baca" without becoming trapped in spiritual dryness. Third is a good life, marked by trust, obedience, and a growing preference for God's presence over the world's rewards. The psalm concludes with a call to spiritual renewal: confess spiritual disorientation, recommit to pursuing God, bring your burdens and dry places to Him, and trust His promise that He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly. The movement is clear: A heart that longs for God. A life strengthened by God. A life satisfied in God. Key Takeaways The Yearning Heart (Psalm 84:1–4) A growing believer desires God's presence above all else. Religious activity cannot replace genuine devotion. Contentment and praise flow naturally from enjoying God. Increasing Strength (Psalm 84:5–7) Strength comes through continual communion with God. "Highways to Zion" are built through prayer, Scripture, repentance, and obedience. God can transform life's dry valleys into places of blessing. Believers go "from strength to strength" as they draw near to Him. The Good Life (Psalm 84:10–12) God's presence is better than worldly success or comfort. Trust and obedience lead to lasting satisfaction. No good thing is withheld from those who walk uprightly. Applications Confess spiritual disorientation. Recommit to pursuing God's presence. Bring your "Valley of Baca" to Him. Rest in God's promises and faithfulness.

COUNT THE COST Big Idea: Following Jesus costs everything — but what you gain is worth more than anything you'll ever give up. Primary Text: LUKE 14:25-33 Luk 14:25  And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, Luk 14:26  If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luk 14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luk 14:28  For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Luk 14:29  Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Luk 14:30  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Luk 14:31  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Luk 14:32  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. Luk 14:33  So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Context: Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem. Great crowds are following Him, caught up in the excitement. But Jesus turns and makes clear that following Him isn't a popularity contest — it demands everything. INTRODUCTION Church, think about the last big decision you made. Maybe it was buying a house, or taking a new job, or getting married. You sat down and counted the cost. You figured out what it would take. You made sure you were ready before you jumped in. But here's what I want y'all to hear this morning — following Jesus is the biggest decision you'll ever make. And Jesus never once tried to make it sound easy. He didn't sugarcoat it. He looked at the crowd and said, "Before you follow Me, count the cost." I ask you today — have you counted the cost of following Jesus? Or are you just riding the wave because it feels good on Sunday morning? MOVEMENT 1: LOVE ME MORE THAN ANYTHING LUKE 14:26 Key Verse: "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." The Point: Jesus demands first place — above every relationship, even your own life. Jesus isn't telling us to literally hate our families — that would contradict the whole of Scripture He's using strong language to make a strong point: your love for Him must be so supreme that every other love looks like hate by comparison Illustration: Think of it like this — when the doctor says, "You can only save one," you don't hate the other. But you've got to choose. Jesus is saying, "Am I your first choice?" "And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple" — bearing the cross means dying to self, picking up the life of sacrifice and surrender Application: Church, I ask you — is there a relationship, a habit, a dream that's sitting in the seat where Jesus belongs? If He's not first, He's not really Lord at all. MOVEMENT 2: COUNT THE COST BEFORE YOU BUILD LUKE 14:28 Key Verse: "For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?" The Point: Real discipleship is deliberate — not impulsive, not half-hearted. Jesus gives two illustrations — a man building a tower and a king going to war The builder who lays a foundation and can't finish becomes a fool in the eyes of everyone who sees it The king with ten thousand troops doesn't march against twenty thousand without thinking it through Illustration: Folks, I've seen it too many times — somebody gets emotional at an altar, makes big promises, and by Wednesday they're right back where they were. Not because God failed them, but because they never sat down and counted the cost Application: Are you building something with your faith, or are you just stacking blocks that keep falling over? Following Jesus means counting the cost and committing for the long haul — not just when it's convenient MOVEMENT 3: GIVE UP EVERYTHING OR YOU CAN'T BE MY DISCIPLE LUKE 14:33 Key Verse: "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." The Point: Jesus isn't asking for a tip — He's asking for the deed to your whole life. "Cannot be my disciple" — that's not a suggestion, that's a condition He's not saying you have to sell everything and live in a cardboard box He's saying you have to hold everything with open hands — your stuff, your plans, your future — and say, "Lord, it's all Yours" Illustration: Think of a wedding — when you stand at that altar, you don't say, "I'll give you most of my heart" or "I'll be faithful most of the time." No. You give it all. That's what Jesus is asking for Application: Church, what are you holding back? What's the one thing you haven't surrendered? I'm telling you, until you lay it down, you'll never know the freedom of walking with Jesus fully THE GOSPEL CONNECTION Church, here's the good news — yes, following Jesus costs everything. But look at what He gave up for you. He left the glory of heaven. He took on flesh. He bore your sin on that cross. He gave His very life so you could have eternal life. You're not giving up your life to get nothing. You're giving up your broken, empty life to receive His abundant, eternal life. Jesus said in another place, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The cost is real. But the reward? It's beyond anything this world could ever offer. APPLICATION — WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? If you've never surrendered your life to Jesus — today is the day. Don't walk away from this moment. Count the cost, and then step out in faith. He's worth it. If you're a believer holding something back — lay it down this morning. Whatever it is — a relationship, a secret sin, a plan you're clinging to — give it to Jesus. He's not trying to take something from you; He's trying to give you something better. If you're coasting in your faith — stop building a half-finished tower. Recommit. Get back in the Word. Get back in prayer. Get back in church. Count the cost and finish what you started. CLOSING I want y'all to hear me today. Jesus never said following Him would be easy. But He did say it would be worth it. Count the cost — and then follow Him with everything you've got. Suggested Next Step: This week, identify one area of your life you've been holding back from Jesus. Write it down. Pray over it. And surrender it to Him before next Sunday. So, let's go to the Lord in prayer.

Reset Your Rhythm June gives us a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and reset before entering the back half of the year. For sales professionals, leaders, parents, and busy achievers, it is easy to feel like the year is moving faster than we are. This episode is a reminder that you are not behind, and you do not have to start over. You simply need to reset your rhythm. In this episode, Lisa shares how success is not built from one big moment, but from the small rhythms we repeat each week: the calls we make, the follow-up we complete, the conversations we create, the energy we protect, and the priorities we honor. This Week's Three Words Reset Your Rhythm What You'll Learn In this episode, you'll learn how to: Review what is working instead of only focusing on what is missing. Remove the habits, distractions, and commitments that are draining your energy. Recommit to a weekly rhythm that supports your sales goals, your mindset, your health, and your family. Create momentum without needing a perfect plan. Use June as a reset point to design how you want to move forward. Key Takeaways 1. You are not starting over. You are resetting. Starting over can feel heavy. Resetting creates space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. 2. Your results are usually a reflection of your rhythm. The rhythm of prospecting, following up, preparing, exercising, resting, and being present all shape your outcomes. 3. Busy is not the same as productive. Sales professionals can move all day and still feel stuck. Resetting your rhythm helps you focus on the right actions. 4. A weekly rhythm beats a perfect plan. Life will get messy. A rhythm gives you something to return to when the week does not go exactly as planned. 5. The second half of the year is still yours to design. One slow month, missed goal, or difficult season does not define the rest of your year. Reflection Questions Ask yourself: What rhythm do I need to restart? What rhythm do I need to release? What rhythm do I need to protect? What weekly actions would help me create momentum in the second half of the year? Where am I making things harder than they need to be? How can I be more present in both my business and my personal life? Lisa's Challenge This Week Take 15 minutes this week to write down three things: Restart: What habit or action creates momentum for you? Release: What distraction, thought pattern, or commitment is draining your energy? Protect: What priority needs more space on your calendar? The goal is not perfection. The goal is intention. Memorable Quote “When you reset your rhythm, you reset your focus. When you reset your focus, you reset your actions. And when you reset your actions, you create new results.” Episode Closing Thought You still have time to create new conversations, rebuild your pipeline, improve your health, be more present, and finish the year stronger than you started.   This week, ask yourself: What rhythm will help me win the second half of the year?   Until Next Time.

At some point in your coaching business, you may find yourself questioning whether you truly want to keep going. In an industry that often treats quitting as failure, many coaches never give themselves permission to honestly evaluate whether their business still aligns with what they want.          In this episode, I talk about the difference between quitting or recommitting to your coaching business, and how honestly considering both options can create clarity, confidence, and a more intentional path forward.                                          For full show notes and transcript, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/288                Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                   Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. We are about to begin our next study and move into the Old Testament. We will begin with the book of Hosea. Hosea reveals what happens when a nation confuses comfort with covenant faithfulness. This means it is time to get your next Scripture Journal from our website for this study. If you are a Project23 partner giving $35/month or more, we have already sent this to you in the mail. Our shout-out today goes to David Luna from Frisco, TX. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 16:5-9. I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. — 1 Corinthians 16:5-9 How do you know when God is opening a door? Paul says something about this that is pretty striking today: "A wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries." We often assume God opens the door to ease. Paul assumes the opposite— opposition. This means a "wide-open door" does not always mean comfort.  Wide-open opportunity in the kingdom often invites resistance. Notice the theology beneath this statement. The door has opened because God did it. But on the otherside the adversaries are real. Open doors, even wide open ones, do not remove enemies. They often reveal them. And Paul does not refuse the door because opposition appears. He walks through it because the opportunity is substantial. This is mature discernment. Providence is not measured by comfort. Faithfulness is not determined by the absence of difficulty. Sometimes the clearest sign you are in the will of God is that resistance increases. The Corinthians were tempted to chase two things: spectacle and status. Paul models two different things: endurance and obedience. He sees the mission clearly. He walks through the open door anyway. Because resurrection hope produces durable courage. If death is defeated, all adversaries are not ultimate. DO THIS: Identify one area where opposition has made you question obedience. Recommit to faithfulness there this week. ASK THIS: Do I interpret resistance as a sign to quit? Have I confused ease with God's will? Where might a "wide door" require stronger resolve? PRAY THIS: Lord, give me discernment to recognize open doors even when adversaries appear. Make me courageous, steady, and faithful in the work you have set before me. Amen. PLAY THIS: "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"

This is not a comfortable question. Especially if your numbers are decent. Especially if you've had success. Especially if no one around you is challenging you. But here's the truth. Stagnation rarely announces itself loudly. It shows up subtly, in habits, in tone, in energy, and in how you approach growth. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, we walk through the real indicators of leadership stagnation, and more importantly, how to break out of it before it costs you momentum. Episode Breakdown [00:00] The Honest Question How do you know if you're plateauing as a leader? Not failing. Not struggling. Just… not growing. 6 Signs You Might Be Becoming Stagnant [01:15] 1. You Rely Too Heavily on the Past Proven systems are valuable. But if your default response is: This is how we've always done it That's a warning sign. Healthy leaders evolve. Stagnant leaders protect familiarity. [01:45] 2. You Feel Defensive When Challenged Growth requires tension. If feedback feels like a threat instead of data, you may be protecting your identity more than pursuing progress. Stagnation often hides behind ego. [02:10] 3. Your Conversations Feel Repetitive Are you still learning? Still refining your message? Still bringing new insight? If your team meetings sound the same as they did two years ago, growth may have slowed. Energy follows growth. When leaders grow, teams feel it. [02:30] 4. You've Stopped Seeking Challenge If you are always the most experienced or smartest person in the room, that is not a strength. It is a ceiling. Strong leaders intentionally put themselves in environments where they are stretched and corrected. [02:50] 5. You're Protecting Instead of Building There is a difference between stewardship and fear. Stewardship protects standards while pursuing growth Fear protects comfort and avoids risk Ask yourself: Am I experimenting or just maintaining? [03:20] 6. Your Team Has Stopped Bringing Ideas This one is subtle but powerful. If your team is no longer suggesting improvements or challenging ideas, they may believe nothing will change. Leadership stagnation creates cultural stagnation. [03:40] What Stagnation Is Not Let's be clear. Being tired is not stagnation A rough quarter is not stagnation A slower season is not stagnation Stagnation is posture. Are you still learning? Still stretching? Still refining? [04:00] How to Break Out of It 1. Audit Yourself Honestly Where have you been coasting? What systems have you not updated in years? 2. Reengage With Vision Revisit your 3 to 5 year picture. Does it still excite you? Does it still stretch you? If not, your vision needs an upgrade. 3. Seek Discomfort Intentionally Growth requires friction. Join a room where you are not the expert Hire a coach Ask for real feedback Test something new 4. Recommit to Learning Study beyond your industry. Leadership Psychology Innovation Systems The market is evolving whether you grow or not. [05:05] The Real Danger The most dangerous leaders are not the ones who fail loudly. They are the ones who plateau quietly. Comfort can disguise itself as stability. Do not let it. Key Takeaways Stagnation Is Subtle – It shows up in habits, not headlines Comfort Can Be Misleading – Stability is not the same as growth Growth Requires Tension – Feedback and discomfort are signals, not threats Your Environment Matters – Surround yourself with people who stretch you Your Team Reflects You – If they stop growing, look at your leadership first Here is the truth. Leadership is either growing or it is drifting. There is no neutral. Want Help Sharpening Your Leadership Again?

Do you feel like you started the year strong... but lately you've begun to drift? Are setbacks, busy seasons, or one "off" weeks pulling you back into old habits? In this episode, we break down The Momentum Framework and show you exactly how to reclaim progress in 24 hours or less. You'll learn why most high-performers lose momentum (hint: it's not lack of discipline), how the "Drift Loop" keeps you stuck, and the simple R.I.S.E. process to reframe, replace, and recommit fast. This episode will teach you how to... ✅ control your emotional state ✅ take decisive action ✅ create small wins that rebuild confidence immediately Tune in to optimize your recovery time and become the kind of leader who bounces back stronger every time. Highlights: The Drift Loop: why high performers start strong, lose momentum, and fall back into old patterns. The three drivers of momentum: perceived progress, emotional state, and recent actions. Why momentum is lost when your state distorts your story (and how to return to reality fast). The R.I.S.E. Framework (Reframe, Replace, Recommit) to regain traction in 24 hours or less. How small, immediate, decisive actions rebuild identity and help you recover faster than ever before.

On this first Monday of the second month of the year, it's time for a gut check. First, we need to check where we are against our new year goals. Next, we need to take stock of our first month's sales performance and make adjustments. We're just a little more than 30 days away from our New Year's intentions, resolutions, and goals. A month ago, we set out into the new year with hope and ambition that this year would be our best ever and that we'd make positive lasting changes in our lives. It's Easy to Slip Off the Track You'll remember that discipline is sacrificing what you want now for what you want most. But as time goes by and sticking with new habits gets more challenging, it's easy to forget what motivated us to make the changes in the first place. It's easy to let down our guard and go back to our comfort zone. The farther away we get from our intentions, the more likely it is that we allow our discipline to slip and get off track. It's just human nature. Small Slips in Discipline Can Add Up Quickly Let's say you kicked off the new year determined to have your best sales year ever, and you knew that meant filling your pipeline daily by getting Fanatical about Prospecting. But upon reflection, you realize that days have passed since you picked up the phone, knocked on a door, or talked with customers. You've been making excuses to avoid the very activities that move you closer to your goals. I'll admit that it happened to me just this past week. This month has been non-stop travel — 12 flights, 10 cities, 8 keynotes, 5 full days delivering training to sales teams. Toward the end of the week, I got tired, made excuses, and let my exercise and nutrition routine slide. This was something I promised myself I wouldn't do when the year started. I know that if I don't stop right now and recommit to my goals, then there is a good chance that I'll continue down this negative path — because it's easy. Revisit Your Goals and Resolutions This is exactly why NOW is a good time for a gut check and a look in the mirror. Pause and carve out time today to revisit your goals, resolutions, and intentions. Sit down and think about what you decided to achieve back in early January. Visualize what it was that motivated you. Picture what you want most and where you want to be at the end of this year. Go back and re-listen to the Money Monday episodes on building a personal business plan, reflection vs. regret, and why personal goals are essential for sales discipline. Then recommit to your goals. Remember the feelings you had when you set them, and make an intentional decision to get back on track. Evaluate Your First Month's Performance Against Your Sales Goals Next, step back and evaluate your first month's sales performance. As you do, you'll likely find one of three scenarios: You Crushed It – You had a killer month and blew your goals out of the water. You Were Average – You hit quota or did “okay,” but you know you're capable of much higher performance. You Bombed – You missed your number and ended the month worse than you hoped. Great Sales Month If You Crushed it, and you're at the top of the ranking report, fantastic, congratulations! But be very careful not to let off the gas. It's likely you worked very hard last month to achieve these results. There will be the temptation to take a breather. Trust me, if you do, this complacency will come back to bite you. Now is the time to recommit to doing the activity that fueled your success last month so you don't end up with a lackluster February and a disastrous March. In other words, you've set the foundation for a huge year, take advantage of what you have accomplished, and keep the pedal to the metal! Average Sales Month If you had an average or just OK month — maybe you hit quota, maybe you came close, but you know you've got more in the tank — then it's time for some honest self-reflection. Ask yourself: What held you back from greatness? What could you have done differently that would have resulted in higher sales productivity? Maybe you needed to prospect harder. Perhaps you could have pushed a little harder to close some of your pipeline opportunities. It could have been that your pipeline wasn't big enough from the start, and you ended up scrambling to make your numbers, but otherwise, you did everything right. It's okay, you haven't hurt yourself. You are still in a good position to have a great year. But you'll need to identify your performance gaps and plan to overcome them in February. This is a good time to sit down with your coach or mentor, break down your performance, and get guidance on where you can make tweaks and get better. If you don't have a coach and you want to talk with someone, go to https://salesgravy.com/coach to get help. Bad Sales Month If you bombed, if your month was downright awful, then you're going to need to move fast to make adjustments. Getting behind the eight ball at the beginning of the year is no fun. You don't want to chase your tail for the rest of the year. The key is taking positive action now. Rather than dwelling on the negatives — which is super easy to do — pull your head up and start breaking down what happened. Empty Pipe Did you have an empty pipeline, so you had nothing to close? That happens to a lot of salespeople in the first month of the year. Go back and listen to the How to Fix an Empty Pipeline Now Money Monday episode from a few weeks ago. Use that lesson to help you fix the problem. Closeable Opportunities that Pushed Were there closeable pipeline opportunities that simply pushed into this month? Make sure you're on top of them so they don't vanish for good. But also make sure you have the pipe to cover this month, so you're not solely depending on last month's leftovers. Shortcutting the Sales Process Is it possible that you might have been skipping steps in the sales process? This will often happen when you are in a desperate and stressed emotional state. This is a big clue that it is time to get back to the basics and fundamentals of selling— and get disciplined about following a proven sales process. This may be a very good time to take some courses on Sales Gravy University and read (or listen) to books like Sales EQ that can help you dial in your sales process. Recommit to Your Sales Goals We all slip. We all make mistakes. Discipline can waver, especially once the initial excitement of a new year fades. But you have the power to step back into your resolutions and do the daily work required to achieve your goals. Whether you crushed it, coasted, or crashed, the key to getting February off to a strong start is to recommit. Make the decision — say it out loud: “I'm going to be better in February than I was in January.” Need help setting winning Sales Goals? Check out our FREE Goal Planning Guide

Did you know that 43% of people who set New Year's Resolutions quit before the end of January? That's crazy. But there are a ton of reasons why that happens—the biggest one being the intensity that we go after our goals in the first two weeks and we burn ourselves out. In this episode I break down how to recommit to your goals and go for progress, not perfection.Ready to recommit to your 2026 goals?

What does it really look like for a man to take responsibility for his healing?In this episode, Laterras R. Whitfield of Dear Future Wifey shares his journey from infidelity to integrity and how owning his past became the turning point that prepared him for a second chance at love.Rather than blaming circumstances or others, Laterras chose a harder path. He took accountability, did the internal work, and became the kind of man a future wife could trust. This conversation explores what real healing requires, why integrity must be built before marriage, and how responsibility shapes the husband a man becomes.Whether you are single, dating, married, or rebuilding after divorce, this episode challenges us all to forgo outsourcing our healing, and rather, to believe and become redeemed and transformed.______________________________________________How can YOU begin preparing for your future marriage too?

Detroit Lions Podcast: Lions fire OC John Morton, identity reset No Playoff Preview, Real Talk Instead The Detroit Lions Podcast returned from the holiday break without a playoff show. The tone matched the season. Missed chances. Hard questions. Changes have already started. Offensive coordinator John Morton is out. The hosts recorded on Wednesday and expect Brad Holmes to speak Thursday. Dan Campbell has talked about getting back to what worked. The message is clear. The Detroit Lions need an identity reset. Identity Drift Shows in the Red Zone The episode drilled into situational errors. A Bears example stood out. Two straight red-zone trips reached the 10. Each series ended with three consecutive pass plays. Then it happened again on the next drive. That is not how this offense was built. It undercut the run game and the line. The NFL punishes predictability. The show connected that stretch to the broader theme Campbell raised about drifting from their roots. The result was stalled drives and frustration. Coordinator Fallout and Staff Questions Morton's dismissal capped a season-long slide. The issues were visible from Week 1. He was replaced as play caller during the season, and he seemed to take shots in the media after that. The episode described how that dynamic felt like a wedge in the locker room. There had been chatter about Morton returning in a support role or coaching a position group. That is not happening. He is gone. Tyler Rolle is leaving for Iowa State to be the OC, which adds another moving piece. The run game needs stewardship. The show questioned whether Hank Fraley will remain the run game coordinator. That role could change or become a lesson learned. Names like Scotty Montgomery and Tashard Choice surfaced as influences on the room, but the point was bigger than any one title. The Detroit Lions must fix process, sequencing, and trust. What's Next in Detroit Campbell's comments about roots and situational football set the offseason agenda. Self-scout every call sheet. Rebuild the red-zone plan. Recommit to the physical identity that carried this team two and three years ago. The hosts expect visible changes as the NFL offseason unfolds. Holmes' remarks should frame the next steps. The episode also teased draft conversation to close, with an eye on keeping the window open. The task is straightforward. Cut the noise. Align staff roles. Call games that fit the personnel. The Detroit Lions do not need a new soul. They need to play like themselves again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HW9g-DEiSU #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #johnmortonfiring #dancampbellpressconference #bradholmestospeak #redzoneplaycalling #bearsgameredzone #rungamecoordinator #hankfraley #scottymontgomery #tashardchoice #tylerrolletoiowastate #playcallerchange #gettingbacktoroots Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is Judges 19:1-3. This isn't just another story—it's a wake-up call. The Levite's failure reminds us how quickly spiritual leaders can drift from conviction to compromise. God is looking for men and women who will not only know His Word but live it, defend it, and pass it on with courage. In those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was sojourning in the remote parts of the hill country of Ephraim, who took to himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. And his concubine was unfaithful to him, and she went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there some four months. Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back. He had with him his servant and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house. And when the girl's father saw him, he came with joy to meet him. — Judges 19:1-3 By the time we reach Judges 19, Israel has plunged to its lowest point. Even the Levites—men once set apart to teach and guard God's law—no longer remember it. The opening line says it all: "There was no king in Israel." In other words, there was no authority, no truth, no standard—only self-rule. Here stands a Levite, a man supposed to model holiness. Instead, he takes a concubine—a live-in girlfriend with marital benefits but no covenant commitment. She betrays him, runs home, and after months apart, he decides he wants her back. The relationship is dysfunctional from every direction. But the greater tragedy is this: a priest who should lead God's people can't even lead himself. That's the climate of moral collapse—when spiritual leaders trade holiness for cultural conventions, then the nation no longer knows what righteousness looks like. We live in the same era of moral relativism—everyone doing what seems right in their own eyes. Churches ordain what God calls sin. Pulpits preach self-esteem instead of repentance. Pastors chase applause over truth. But notice they still wear the robes, carry the titles, build buildings, and quote a few verses—but like this Levite, they've abandoned the covenant. And the result? Confused believers. Compromised faith. A generation that can no longer tell the difference between God's truth and cultural tolerance. We've come a long way from Joshua's bold declaration—"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Now we say, "As for me and the truth, we'll do what feels right." When leaders forget the Word, the people follow their feelings. And when that happens, nations collapse from the inside long before enemies ever invade. The Levite's story isn't just a scandal—it's a warning shot and a challenge. When God's people drift from His Word, it's not enough to simply shake our heads—we must act. Step up where he stepped back. Lead where he lacked courage. Recommit to Scripture in your home, your marriage, your circle of influence. Because when we return to God's Word, broken relationships can be healed, leadership restored, and love redeemed. ASK THIS: Where have you seen "moral relativism" creep into the church? Have you traded biblical truth for cultural comfort in any area of life? What voices in your life hold you accountable to Scripture? How can you encourage your pastor—or yourself—to stand firm on truth this week? DO THIS: Pray daily for pastors and leaders to preach truth with courage and clarity. Recommit to reading Scripture before social media or news; make God's Word your authority again. PRAY THIS: Lord, reignite conviction in Your people. Make us builders of truth and defenders of faith.

When a very public “perfect couple” falls apart, it quietly shakes something in all of us.If they couldn't make it… what does that say about love? About soulmates? About us?And during the Christmas season — when everything feels louder — the love stories, the breakups, the questions we don't usually say out loud — those doubts tend to surface even more.This episode is a gentle but honest conversation about why love doesn't always last — and why that doesn't mean love isn't real.

In this heartfelt conversation, Shelby and Belinda share their reactions to the 2024 Women in the Workplace report by McKinsey & LeanIn.org.  They highlight the deep fatigue and burnout women experience as they rise into senior leadership.They reflect on the emotional and logistical realities that the data doesn't always capture: – women reaching the top of the ladder only to find exhaustion waiting for them – the cultural pressure in the U.S. to “do it all” without asking for help – the double standard where men receive quiet support systems while women feel judged for needing them – the loneliness of leadership, especially for women of color – the guilt that comes with caregiving and boundary-setting – the absence of sponsorship and empathetic leadership in many workplacesGrounded in personal stories—from missing their children's milestones to carving out time for family despite career demands—they illustrate how women are not less ambitious; they're simply navigating systems designed without them in mind.The episode ends with a call for leaders everywhere to build cultures rooted in trust, compassion, humane expectations, and real support—because meaningful leadership is not about suffering in silence; it's about helping others rise with you.Send us a comment!Recommit is a Feb 28 half-day retreat for people who are ready for more clarity, courage, and alignment.

In this episode of the Sustainable Coaching Podcast, Marilyn reflects on the lessons, wins, and wake-up calls that shaped her in 2024 and how those experiences are guiding her into 2026 with deeper purpose and alignment. She opens up about the shifts she's making in her business model, why she's returning to community-based programs, and how she sees the coaching industry evolving as regulations tighten and expectations rise. Marilyn shares openly about simplifying her systems, refining her offers, and recommitting to the habits and platforms that genuinely support sustainable growth. You'll also hear her break down the mindset work behind removing what no longer serves you, navigating digital overwhelm, recommitting to authentic leadership, and focusing on long-term impact over online distractions. Marilyn explains which tools and platforms she's loving right now, what she's preparing for in 2026, and why coaches must use discernment in an industry full of shiny objects and mixed messages. She closes with a powerful reminder not to be attracted to “the pretty things” or fall into trauma-bonding content online, especially when you're called to lead with purpose. What habits, wins, and lessons from 2024 should you keep and which ones should you release before entering 2026? How do community-based programs and authentic connections create more sustainable results than fast-scaling strategies? What mindset shifts and business refinements will help you grow with integrity as the coaching industry evolves? Remember to join our free community, where we discuss these strategies in depth.

If you've been craving structure without the burnout, this episode walks you through how to plan like the future version of you — the calm, organized, Type-A-but-not-spiraling version you keep pinning on Pinterest.In this episode, we cover:1. Planning with Intention (Not Anxiety)How to stop planning from a place of panic, shift into grounded decision-making, and build your days based on how you want to feel, not what you “should” be doing.2. Romanticizing Your RoutineThe mindset shift that turns your planning into something you actually look forward to. Think: iced coffee, matching pens, candles, and “hot girl walk” energy… but for your calendar.3. Systems That Actually Support YouNotion, Google Calendar, time-blocking, Sunday resets, brain dumps, night-before reviews, and the 3 R's: Reflect, Reset, Recommit. Everything you need to stay consistent without micromanaging your life.4. Planning for Your Future SelfHow to build micro-habits that your future self will thank you for — from batching tasks, prepping your week, planning meals, and scheduling rest on purpose.5.

Welcome to Grind Season. This week, we enter the most pivotal period of your entire sales year. From now until mid-December, how you choose to invest your limited time will determine whether you end your year strong, hit your income goals, make it to the winner's circle at President's Club, and start next year with a full pipeline OR wallow in mediocrity, miss your number, and damage your career.  Write Your Sales Comeback Story If you're ahead of your goals, this is your time to build an insurmountable lead and give yourself an unfair advantage as you enter next year. Do not rest on your laurels and coast. Grind it out and build a massive pipeline for next year. If you're on track, this is your time to accelerate, finish strong, and propel yourself into the President's Club.  If you're behind, this is the time to shift from being defense to offense. Most salespeople who are going to miss their annual quota already know it by now. They can feel it. See it in their pipeline. Sense it in their gut. But what separates winners from losers is that winners use this moment as a wake-up call, not a death sentence.  Stop making excuses about market conditions, difficult prospects, or bad luck. Start taking complete ownership of your results and your future. Stop thinking like someone who's behind. Start thinking like someone who's about to write their own sales comeback story.  Your energy and confidence level will directly impact your results during Grind Season. If you show up defeated and desperate, prospects will sense it. If you show up confident and focused, prospects will respond in kind, and you will sell more. But whatever your situation, this is not the time to coast. This is the time to get serious about finishing the year strong. The Grind Season Mindset "Grind Season" is more than just a motivational catchphrase—it's a winning mindset grounded in the unglamorous, but essential, embrace of this crucial period with intense focus, hard work, discipline, and consistent, intentional activity.  It's about ignoring distractions, drowning out the noise, being stingy with your time, and using every moment of your sales day to identify new opportunities and actively advance those deals through the pipeline. This isn't about activity for the sake of activity. It's about deliberately and proactively getting back to the basics and fundamentals of prospecting and sales at a time in the sales year when it matters.  Your Pipeline Reality Check Here's the key gut-check question you must look into the mirror and answer right now: Where do you stand relative to your year-end number, and based on that answer, what will be your next move? To fully answer that question, begin with a pipeline reality check. Your current quota attainment tells you where you've been. Your pipeline tells you where you're going. Far too many sales professionals look at their pipeline and see what they want to see, not what's actually there. This is especially true at this time of year when we allow baggage from the first half of the year to remain in our pipeline, hoping that somehow we might close it. But here's the deal, during Grind Season, hope is not a strategy.  The truth is, those deals have been dead for a long time. The stakeholders are ghosting you; they never commit to next steps, and most haven't returned your calls in months. In the words of Sales Gravy University trainer and author Kristie K. Jones, “stalled” is not a step in the sales process.  So start by getting brutally honest and ruthless with your current pipeline. First, clean house. Go through every opportunity and ask yourself: "If I had to bet my own money on whether this deal will close by the end of the year, would I take that bet?" If the answer is no, move it out of your active pipeline and replace it with something else. Stop lying to yourself and counting on it for this year's numbers. Second, calculate your real pipeline coverage. Take your remaining quota and multiply it by four. That's how much qualified pipeline you need to finish the year strong. And if you don't have it, get fanatical about building it.  Third, assess your pipeline velocity. Get real about how long deals are actually taking to close. This number will tell you exactly when you need to get qualified opportunities into your pipeline to close them before the year ends. You should also use the assessment to find ways to increase velocity and shorten the sales cycle.  Recommit to Fanatical Prospecting Too many salespeople are trapped by hope. They hope that inbound leads will be enough, that a few referrals will carry them through, or that their existing accounts will magically deliver new opportunities. Grind Season is the antidote to this passive approach. It demands a recommitment to consistent, high-impact Fanatical Prospecting. This means establishing non-negotiable, daily prospecting blocks with a focus on creating new opportunities with a vengeance. The No. 1 reason for missing quota is an empty pipeline, and the No. 1 reason you have an empty pipeline is that you are not prospecting consistently, using every possible communication channel, every single day.  Advance Deals With Unwavering Decisiveness  Once an opportunity is in your pipeline, the Grind Season mindset dictates that you move it forward with intention and purpose. This means confidently asking for and securing clear and calendared next-step commitments in every sales conversation. This decisiveness prevents deals from stalling in the pipeline, which you cannot afford at this time of year. Likewise, you cannot afford to waste time with uncommitted buyers or unqualified deals. Do not be afraid to ask tough questions and address objections directly, because this process eliminates tire-kickers and keeps your time and energy focused on truly qualified deals that you can close.  Embrace the Grind Season Suck Grind Season is hard. If you want to end your year strong, then you'll have to embrace the suck and accept the discomfort that comes with hard work and running headlong into the grinder of daily rejection. The essence of Grind Season is an unwavering commitment to outworking the competition. It's about the mindset that no one will out-hustle you.  For me, this means adopting a "blue-collar" approach to a "white-collar" profession—come in early, stay late, face adversity head-on, and always make one more call. Repeat this daily and you'll gain a significant competitive advantage. Time is Short, Act Now The clock is already ticking on Grind Season. It feels like you have time, but you don't. End-of-year judgment day will be here sooner than you think. This short window of opportunity will close soon, so you have a choice to make right now. You can keep going the way you have been and take what you get OR you can decide that this will be the most focused, disciplined, and productive period of your career. The choice is yours. But whatever you choose, choose it now, because time is running out. And remember, when you're tired, worn out, and ready to go home, always make one more call. Because that one more call might be the one that saves your year.

Welcome back to the IMPACT SHOW, and you better believe we've got a BARN BURNER of an episode today. This is Part 2 of our powerful 3-part series: Survival → Stability → Success → Significance… and today, we're going deep into what it really takes to move from stability into SUCCESS — in your business, your mindset, and your LIFE. Let me be real with you — success isn't just about more hustle. It's about systems. It's about structure. It's about scaling your impact. And most importantly, it's about living in alignment with your purpose. And that's exactly what I'm breaking down in this episode. Here's what I'm coaching you on this week: Why stability is the most dangerous place to stay if you want real success. How to overcome fear and step boldly into your growth zone. The “3-S Success Stack”: Systems, Structure, and Scale — and how to implement each one right now. The exact tools I use in my business and life: the “Big 3,” the “Sunday Setup,” and the power of doing your “WLAGs” A personal story that had me asking, “What should I do, Dad?” — and how YOU can tap into divine wisdom today. Friends, I want you to experience TRUE success — the kind that fuels your soul and leaves a legacy. And I pour it all into this episode. Today's IMPACT SHOW is as much for the leader, coach, and entrepreneur, as it is the parent or person who knows there's even more inside of them — and is ready to step into it. You were born for significance. But you've got to move through success to get there.
