How to achieve your Dreams and Goals Want real results — not hype? In this episode of Personal Development Unplugged Paul Clough shows you how to move from wishful thinking to action that works. We dig into practical goal-setting, the feeling of the wish fulfilled, how to use your mind (RAS + visualization), and small, actionable steps that create momentum. Expect NLP-informed tips, a short guided hypnosis process to embed success in your unconscious, and direct coaching you can use today. Key takeaways Define success specifically: the clearer the goal, the faster the result. Use feeling of the wish fulfilled + physiology + inner dialogue to “act as if.” Employ the Reticular Activating System—focus your mind and notice opportunities. Build micro-steps (tiny wins) and schedule regular reviews to stay on track. Align goals with your values — ensure they're ecological (good for you, others, planet). Quick practical guided hypnosis included — make this a daily habit. Share with one person who needs permission to step up today. Have more fun than you can stand. https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/463-how-to-achieve-your-dreams-and-goals Shine Brightly

In tijden van grote onzekerheid zou je verwachten dat financiële markten nerveus reageren. Maar niets is minder waar. Beetje bij beetje komt de Federal Reserve onder Donald Trumps invloed te staan, toch halen de markten hun schouders op. Begin april reageerden markten nog geschokt op Trumps ongekende acties, maar beleggers lijken eraan gewend te raken. Niet alle marktsegmenten tonen overigens diezelfde onverschilligheid. In de goud- en valutamarkten beginnen beleggers wel een los monetair beleid in te prijzen. Dat is een van de redenen waarom de dollar daalt en de goudprijs stijgt. Maar verder hobbelen aandelen en obligaties gewoon door. Het roept de metafoor op van de kikker in een hete pan. Kikkers die in een pan zitten waarvan het water langzaam wordt verhit, zouden blijven zitten en sterven, terwijl een kikker die in een pan met kokend water wordt gegooid er gelijk uitspringt. Die metafoor is erg sprekend en wordt vaak gebruikt, maar de wetenschappelijke realiteit is dat kikkers in beide gevallen gewoon uit de pan springen. Ze hebben namelijk uitermate gevoelige temperatuursensoren. Alleen bij wrede 19-eeuwse experimenten waar die sensoren waren verwijderd, lieten de dieren een dergelijk gedrag zien. Maar dat terzijde. Markten zijn ook erg relaxed over de AI-ontwikkelingen. Er wordt nog altijd weinig geld mee verdiend, maar als het maar een beetje naar AI ruikt zijn beleggers al superenthousiast. Zo waren beleggers erg tevreden over de Nvidia-investering van $100 mrd in OpenAI. Die dat geld weer investeert in geavanceerde chips van Nvidia. Zo wordt het geld maar rondgepompt.Ook bij de Oracle-cijfers zagen we dit patroon. Beleggers juichten de omzetcijfers toe, maar ik begrijp die euforie niet. Ja, de omzetstijging was indrukwekkend. Maar de winst stagneerde. Dit suggereert dat Oracle de orders met flinke kortingen heeft binnengehaald. Maar als het zo’n groeimarkt is, hoef je toch geen korting te geven? Het geeft aan dat de markt misschien wel niet zo hard groeit als iedereen nu denkt. Of is Oracle gewoon een ordinaire prijsdiscounter? Dat laatste is het meest waarschijnlijk, maar waarom moet de koers dan zo hard stijgen? Diverse analisten hebben dan ook hun winstverwachtingen naar beneden bijgesteld. En nu de orderboeken voor de komende vijf jaar vol zitten, betekent dat alleen maar dat Oracle die magere winstmarges voor de komende vijf jaar heeft vastgeklikt. Fijn dat meneer Markt zo relaxed is. Beleggers dompelen zich onder in de relatieve rust, terwijl deze maanden juist bekendstaan om hun grote koersfluctuaties. Mijn advies: blijf goed nadenken over wat er werkelijk gebeurt. Want markten die te lang rustig blijven en de economische realiteit ontkennen, hebben de neiging op een kwade dag opeens heftig te ontwaken.

Introduction We're often told that presentations should feel like chatting with a friend—relaxed, natural, and conversational. That sounds appealing, but does it really convince a CEO in a Tokyo boardroom? Will a casual tone carry weight with industry experts or win over a cautious client? The truth is, a one-size-fits-all “chatty” approach is risky. In Japan, where formality and credibility remain essential in business, presenters must strike a balance: relaxed enough to engage, but professional enough to earn authority. Why can a conversational style backfire in business presentations? A conversational style can work in casual contexts, but in high-stakes business settings it often undermines credibility. Imagine presenting to the executive committee of a multinational like Toyota or Rakuten. Go too casual, and leaders may conclude you aren't serious. Japanese clients in particular interpret excessive informality as disrespect. While warmth and natural delivery are important, professionalism must remain the anchor. In business, you're not simply sharing ideas—you're signalling competence, respect, and authority. Mini-summary: Relaxed delivery alone risks damaging credibility; Japanese business audiences expect professionalism at the core. How should presenters tailor their style to different audiences? The key is tailoring. Use too much jargon, and non-experts will be lost. Simplify too much, and specialists will feel patronised. Executives often want clarity and actionable insights without drowning in detail, while technical experts demand precision and depth. In Japan, tailoring is also cultural—hierarchical audiences require more formality than peer-level discussions. The bridge between conversational and professional delivery is knowing what level of detail and tone will make each audience feel respected and included. Mini-summary: Success comes from matching tone and depth to the audience's expectations, knowledge, and culture. What techniques help combine professionalism with engagement? Professional doesn't mean boring. Presenters can bring energy through vocal variety—powering in and powering out to highlight key points. Natural gestures reinforce words, and steady eye contact builds trust. Storytelling, especially when drawing on personal successes and failures, creates authenticity. Japanese audiences, like those elsewhere, appreciate vulnerability blended with authority. These techniques give structure and credibility without stiffness. The audience doesn't just hear information—they feel it, remember it, and are more likely to act. Mini-summary: Energy, stories, gestures, and eye contact create engagement without sacrificing professionalism. How can evidence be presented persuasively without losing the audience? Persuasion requires evidence, but raw numbers rarely stick. The solution is layering data with vivid comparisons. For example, instead of saying “1,000 metres,” frame it as “ten football fields.” A massive volume becomes “an Olympic swimming pool.” This technique transforms abstract data into something instantly visual. Global companies like Microsoft and Hitachi use these methods in Japan to make presentations resonate across diverse audiences. When evidence is paired with imagery, logic with testimonials, facts with examples, the argument becomes both credible and memorable. Mini-summary: Pair data with vivid comparisons to make evidence persuasive, memorable, and audience-friendly. What role does inspiration and energy play in presentations? When the goal is to inspire action, energy is non-negotiable. If the presenter isn't passionate, why should the audience be? Word pictures—describing a future where adopting your idea leads to market share growth or operational efficiency—make abstract gains concrete. In Japan, where business leaders are cautious decision-makers, showing both vision and bottom-line impact is critical. Energised delivery motivates executives, while clear business benefits convince them to move forward. Mini-summary: Energy and vivid imagery inspire Japanese audiences to see both vision and bottom-line benefits. How does clarity of purpose determine the right balance? The first decision in any presentation isn't about slides—it's about purpose. Are you aiming to inform, persuade, inspire, or entertain? Each requires a different style. Information-heavy sessions can lean conversational but must be precise. Persuasion requires structured evidence. Inspiration demands energy and vision. Entertainment allows more humour and informality. Without clarity of purpose, style and delivery will be mismatched to audience needs. In Japan's formal business culture, aligning purpose with delivery is what makes presentations credible, memorable, and impactful. Mini-summary: Decide whether to inform, persuade, inspire, or entertain—this choice drives every delivery decision. Conclusion Presentation success in Japan doesn't come from blindly following the “chatty and relaxed” rule. It comes from clarity of purpose, cultural awareness, and skilful balance. Relaxed style can humanise a presenter, but professional authority earns trust. By tailoring to the audience, energising delivery with stories and vocal variety, layering evidence with vivid comparisons, and aligning tone with purpose, speakers win both attention and respect. In 2025's business world, where leaders demand substance but audiences also crave connection, mastering this balance is the hallmark of a truly effective presenter.

Paul had a sense of urgency when it came to sharing the gospel. In 2 Corinthians 5 and 6, he tells us that we will all appear before God one day and give an account of how we lived as witnesses. He also says that our job is to persuade people to believe in the gospel because “today is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2). But today, few of us live with this sense of urgency. Rather than fearing God and His judgement, we fear other people and their opinions. We also write people off as being unlikely to accept the gospel if we were to share, and most of the time, we simply forget to live our lives as witnesses. But witnessing is not an optional practice. Both Paul and Jesus teach us that to be a disciple is to be a witness. When we learn to examine our fears, our flesh, and our forgetfulness, and then bring them to God, we can become effective witnesses who lead others into the Kingdom through the practice of Invitation.

So, was our government too relaxed about the tariffs then? Cause this is a shock today – isn't it? To find out that we've just been bumped up to 15% while Australia and dozens of other countries have stayed on 10%. Now, it seems to be related, most likely, to our balance of trade and that the US has a trade deficit with us. So we get 15%, but then a trade surplus with Australia, so they get 10%. So perhaps it was inevitable and unavoidable, as long as the balance of trade sat like that. But then, on the other hand, Australia did kind of lock that in as well. They lifted their ban on US beef imports while we did nothing. Should we have done something similar Because if there's one thing that we know about Donald Trump, it's that he's a trader. South Korea had their tariff dropped from 25% to 15% by promising to buy $100 million worth of LNG. Sir Keir Starmer sucked up to Trump with a letter from King Charles. Now we don't actually know what our diplomats were doing, because they were fairly guarded about it. But the vibe that we kept getting from ministers and officials every time we asked about it was, ‘not a lot going on, we'll see how this goes, we're on 10%, we're no worse than anyone else' That's the trouble, though. We are now worse than other people. We export beef to the US, Australia exports beef to the US. Their beef now gets 10%, ours gets 15%. Now, we can argue about whether US consumers are really going to switch up their $11.50 New Zealand steak if the Aussie steak is only 50 cents cheaper. I mean, what's really the difference between $11.50 and $11? But I chose a butter last night because it was $1 cheaper than the other butter, so maybe they will, which brings me to the question that I asked at the start of this. Were we too relaxed? Because we definitely and quite deliberately opted for Winston's head below the parapet approach. But maybe what we should have done was opted for the same approach that Albanese and Starmer took, which is to suck up instead.

Lauren welcomes Gulrukh Mehboob for a discussion about the impacts of relaxed staff training and licensing requirements on nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gul is a Fulbright PhD scholar at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, studying health workforce policy, particularly in long-term care settings. • Between March 2020 and September 2021, 19 states reduced CNA training and licensing requirements in an effort to address staffing shortages in nursing homes. • Gulrukh's study found that these policy changes did not improve CNA staffing levels in nursing homes, even though some scholars had argued that strict training and licensing requirements were a barrier to entering the field. • Gulrukh suggests that improving wages, benefits, and working conditions for CNAs may be more effective than reducing training and licensing requirements for addressing staffing shortages in nursing homes. • Her future research will explore the impact of other workforce policies, such as incentive-based programs and wage increases, on staffing and quality of care in nursing homes.

This meditation begins with a period of relaxing and collecting our attention with intentional long deep breathing. We then deepen embodied presence, and widen to the awareness that includes sounds, sensations, feelings, breath, and all experience. When the mind drifts from this open, awake awareness, we gently return, re-relaxing and resting in an easeful, alert presence. Recorded at Tara's Wednesday night class, the meditation includes chanting of OM's and ends with a sense of melting into community.
