Podcasts about right words

You can say all the right words and still leave your partner feeling completely unsafe.If you're the partner who caused harm, that may be the most frustrating thing you've encountered in recovery — you apologized, you said "I understand," you told her you're here, and somehow it still landed wrong. In this episode, Hali explains why your partner isn't responding to your words. She's responding to your body — to whether your presence feels safe or braced, whether you're actually with her or just managing her. That's embodied empathy.Hali walks through what embodied empathy actually is and why a traumatized nervous system is exquisitely tuned to detect the mismatch between what you say and the state you're actually in. Then she lays out two concrete lists: the behaviors that model embodied empathy and build safety (staying regulated and present when she's activated, accountability without minimizing, letting her be angry without firing back, transparency over time), and the behaviors that get in the way (defensiveness, minimizing, blame-shifting, gaslighting, withdrawal, empty promises).Drawing on the response patterns in the book Courageous Love alongside a somatic, nervous-system lens, this episode gives both partners a clear, behavior-level map of what genuine presence after betrayal actually looks like.Enjoyed This Episode?If this conversation resonated with you, here are three ways you can support the show:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a Review

We're on summer break, so this week is a Revisit: a favorite conversation pulled back out of the archive. In this one, Pete and Nikki dig into the words we use and how much they shape the way we see ourselves.Working from Alicia Dunams' book I Get To, Nikki walks through a few simple language shifts that hit differently when you have ADHD, from "I have to" versus "I get to" to catching the negative "what ifs." They also get into the power of the pause and staying curious instead of judgmental. It's an encouraging, practical listen, whether it's your first time or a return trip.Links & NotesI Get To: How using the Right Words Can Radically Transform Your life, Relationships & Business by Alicia DunamsThe Resilience Factor: 7 Keys to Finding Your Inner Strength and Overcoming Life's Hurdles by Karen Reivich“Six Surprising Benefits of Curiosity” by Emily Campbell (00:00) - Welcome to The ADHD Podcast (04:14) - Change Your Language: "I Get To: How Using the Right Words can Radically Transform Your Life" (10:50) - How Rewards Impact Language (12:39) - A Brief Aside on The QUIT Center...

In Episode 375 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, most salespeople are optimizing the wrong game. They're perfecting the mechanics — the right words, the process, the timing — but the real game is being decided long before they ever open their mouth. Bill Caskey spent 35 years watching this pattern play out, and he says it's the costliest mistake a sales team can make. Bill Caskey is a sales development leader and strategist who has been training B2B sales teams and executives since 1990. He is the author of Same Game New Rules, Rewire The Sales Mind, and The Sales Playbook, and co-hosts both the Advanced Selling Podcast — the longest-running sales podcast Jason has ever recommended — and the Bill Caskey Podcast. He has spent four decades inside the sales training world watching teams win and lose, and he finally figured out why most of them never break through. Today, Bill returns to the show for the first time since Episode 77 to expose the lie that runs through almost every sales training program ever built: that mechanics are the game. Master the pitch. Perfect the close. Handle the objection. And success will follow. It won't. Not even close. Because the game starts somewhere else entirely — and most salespeople never find out where. In this episode, Jason and Bill cover: Why Bill spent years near the bottom of the sales stack rank even after getting mechanically good — and what finally changed The concept of detachment — where it came from, what it actually means, and why it produced a 50% revenue increase for one of Bill's clients Why detachment is not ambivalence — and what healthy detachment looks like versus the guy who just doesn't care How fear filters everything through scarcity — and why you can't detach if you're scared The role shift that changes everything — from salesperson to guide — and why prospects stop resisting the moment you make it Why mechanics can't be taught until the mind is right — and what Bill does when someone in the room refuses to engage with mindset work The breakup email — why it works as a mechanic but falls apart the moment you get needy at the bottom The three mindset shifts that matter most: detachment, being the guide, and abundance over scarcity The two sub-lies hiding underneath the main lie — there's not enough, and you're not enough Why 90% of people know success has a spiritual dimension but are scared to deploy it What Bill now knows that he wishes someone had told him 20 years ago — and why nobody did The one thing Bill wants every salesperson still inside this lie to hear before the episode ends You can't mechanic your way to 5X income. The game starts way before you open your mouth. This episode will show you where it actually starts.

“It will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” — Matthew 10:20 What if God never promised comfort or success… but promised His presence instead? In this episode, Ash and Jacqui unpack the powerful words of Jesus to His disciples before sending them into difficult situations. He didn’t tell them it would be easy. In fact, He warned them there would be opposition, pressure, and fear. But He also gave them a promise:You won’t walk through it alone. This conversation is a reminder that when God calls you to something, He also gives you the strength, wisdom, and words to carry it through. You don’t have to be eloquent, confident, or perfectly prepared — the Holy Spirit works through willing people. We also talk about: Why difficulty doesn’t mean you’re outside of God’s will Learning to rely on the Holy Spirit instead of your own strength The pressure of feeling “qualified” Trusting God even when the outcome feels uncertain If you’ve been intimidated by what’s ahead, feeling unequipped, or questioning whether you can do what God has asked of you — this episode will remind you that His presence is enough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, you'll discover: 1.  Why your voice is your most undervalued business asset. 2.  How generic "thought leadership" is costing you money. 3.  The specific process my guest uses to extract a salesperson or business owner's real voice and turn it into content that generates inbound leads. To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Harvey Mackay: "You don't need a big close as many sales reps believe. You risk losing your customer when you save all the good stuff for the end. Keep the customer actively involved throughout your presentation, and watch your results improve."   About Sarra Richmond: Sarra Richmond, aka The Ghost, is a LinkedIn ghostwriter and founder positioning expert based in the UK. She extracts the voice, stories, and expertise founders already have and turns them into authority-building content that fills their pipelines. Known for her anti-corporate, voice-first approach, Sarra works with 7-figure founders and consultants who are tired of being their industry's best-kept secret.

Most of us want to live well. We want good relationships, peace in our decisions, and fewer regrets—but nobody really teaches us how to do that. That's where the book of Proverbs comes in. Proverbs isn't a story and it's not a list of religious rules. It's God's wisdom for real life. It talks about how we use our words, how we choose friends, how we handle money, anger, work, and temptation. Written mainly by King Solomon—one of the wisest people who ever lived—Proverbs was designed to train people, especially the young, in how life actually works. Proverbs shows us there are two paths we can walk: the way of wisdom or the way of foolishness. And the choices we make on those paths shape the lives we end up living. For the next 31 weeks we are going to study every chapter, every word and every truth that flows from the Book of Proverbs. There will be a few breaks through the next 31 weeks for stand alone messages, but by the end of 2026 our hope is that you walk in the ways of the wise and live well.

Share a commentYour plans for the future probably include savings, insurance, and retirement. None of that answers the hardest question: what is your way out when life ends? We follow Paul's logic in Titus and land on a bold claim that changes everything, Jesus Christ is not merely a teacher or helper, he is our great God and Savior, the visible manifestation of the invisible God, and the One Scripture points to when it talks about God “appearing.” From there, we get uncomfortably practical. Grace is not passive permission; we talk about grace as training, a daily curriculum that teaches us to say no to ungodliness while saying yes to a new life at the same time. That means you never outgrow the need for repentance, self-control, and clear choices, and you also never outgrow the need for fresh obedience. We dig into what it means to live sensibly, live righteously by a real external standard, and live godly in the present age without being shaped by the present age. We also take on the modern obsession with “values” and ask what happens when values are subjective and virtue disappears. A vivid story from the Titanic exposes how quickly “priceless” can become worthless under pressure, and it sets up the deeper question: what will stand when we face God's standard of rightness? Finally, we lift our eyes to the blessed hope, the promised appearing of Christ, and the gospel heart of it all: Jesus gave himself to redeem us from every lawless deed, purify us, and make us zealous for good works, right now, while we wait. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.What does it look like to live a holy life?

Share a commentA wilderness story can wake you up. The image of a man who planned every mile of his journey but forgot to plan his way home sets the tone for a conversation about grace as both a guide for life and an exit strategy for death. We open Titus 2 and discover that grace is not only a doctrine to affirm—it is a teacher who meets us where we are, repeats the lesson as often as needed, and forms our habits day by day.We unpack how grace trains us to say no to the patterns that once owned us and yes to practices that make us whole. Saying no is not dour moralism; it's the freedom to disown what corrodes our joy. At the same time, grace calls us into sensible living marked by self-control and sound judgment, righteousness anchored to God's standard rather than shifting personal values, and godliness that turns routine into worship. You don't graduate from temptation, and you don't age out of formation; grace keeps teaching while you keep walking.Along the way, we challenge the cultural script that replaces every no with now and swaps virtues for marketable values. The text points us to a steadier path—habit, devotion, and a mind renewed by truth. Whether you're new to faith or long on the road, this is a clear map: refuse what dims the soul, practice what reflects Christ, and remember that salvation appears for all kinds of people. Grace prepares you to live well today and to leave well when the time comes.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review with the one habit you're choosing to practice this week.What does it look like to live a holy life?

If your marketing feels like it requires too much explaining, convincing, or creating, the issue may not be your effort, it may be your messaging. In this episode, I break down why messaging isn't about persuasion, volume, or being louder. It's about recognition. When your words clearly signal who you help and at what buying moment, everything gets easier: sales conversations shorten, client quality improves, and you spend less time over-explaining. The result - more profit.   This Episode Is Part of a Series: In this high-leverage growth series, I'm guiding you through the most powerful ways to simplify your business and increase revenue with more ease. If you missed Lever #1 (The Buyer Moment), Lever #2 (Your Offer as a Profit Lever), Lever #3 (Existing Proximity), or Lever #4 (Strategic Partnerships), go back and listen.

When most of us first learned tapping we were taught to be "as specific as possible" when coming up with tapping phrases. This is sound advice, which is backed up by scientific research. But your success with tapping relies on more than just the words you say and what you focus on when you are tapping. How you feel in the moment has just as much impact on your tapping success. And when I say "how you feel" I don't mean the emotions you are feeling in the moment that you are tapping on. Rather, I am referring to every part of your resource state. Your resource state includes whether you are tired or rested, if you are sick, if you are in a quiet place where you can focus, if you are well hydrated, and when you last ate, to name just a few. It is something that most tappers miss and failing to take your resource state into account when you are tapping could be setting you up for disappointment and frustration. This week in the podcast we explore: How to assess your resource before you start to tap How to create realistic expectations for your tapping How to improve your resource state in the moment so you can get more out of your tapping Once you understand how your resource state impacts your tapping, it will be easy for you to transform both your expectations and your resource state.

LePage talks with award-winning copywriter Larry Lindner, opening the door to a conversation many architects overlook: why the right words matter just as much as great design.

He also breaks down what editors look for when publishing architect-written articles and why authentic narratives easily outperform generic marketing language. Furthermore, Mark and Larry discuss how AI can support, not replace, a strong human-driven voice.Listeners will walk away with practical steps they can apply today. From tightening up website copy to pitching a story to a magazine, Larry outlines clear actions to strengthen any firm's brand.

What if you could help someone completely transform their career in just 45 minutes, not by training them to be someone they're not, but by revealing who they've always been? In this episode, Steve Woodruff, author of "Clarity Wins" and "The Point," shares his unexpected journey from Vanderbilt astronomy student dreaming of becoming an astronaut to becoming the "King of Clarity" who's spent 20 years helping professionals discover and communicate their true identity. Through a pivotal relationship with a manager-friend who made one simple observation ("Let Steve run with sales and Rob run with service because that's what you're good at"), Steve discovered that fitting people into their strengths, not training them to overcome weaknesses, is the ultimate key to success.  From consulting with pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer, Novartis, and GSK to leading 100 emerging leaders globally during the pandemic to transforming his own pastor's preaching, Steve has developed the Clarity Fuel Formula, a brain science-backed framework that helps anyone cut through noise and connect powerfully. His philosophy is simple but revolutionary: "You can't read the label of the jar you're in." We need someone on the outside to reveal who we really are. Steve reveals how he helps people experience that jaw-dropping moment when someone finally sees them (and they see themselves), why the first 15 seconds of any interaction matter most, how "memory darts" beat elevator pitches every time, and why his biggest professional thrill is attaching the right words to someone's identity and watching their entire career trajectory transform.   [00:03:59] The Journey: From Aspiring Astronaut to King of Clarity Childhood dream: becoming an astronaut Started at Vanderbilt University studying astronomy Hit a wall with calculus and physics, realized he loved words more than numbers Shifted to psychology, fascinated by how the human mind and communication work Moved into business sales and marketing [00:07:39] What Steve Does: Revealing Who People Really Are Works with corporations (pharma/biotech primarily) on communication training Developed the Clarity Fuel Formula: framework for clear communication in every format Real passion: entrepreneurs, solos, small businesses, and individuals Specializes in helping people discover their identity, purpose, and how to articulate it [00:09:23] Most Impactful Result: The Infrastructure Builder Met Jason, a sales training manager at pharma company, for networking lunch Through conversation, Steve identified Jason's core strength: infrastructure building Gave Jason the exact words to describe his superpower Jason found perfect role at training organization in disarray [00:12:00] Pandemic Pivot: Training 100 Leaders Globally via Zoom Companies forced to move training online during COVID Steve led personal branding workshop for 100 emerging leaders globally All done from his desk via Zoom, no travel for days required [00:14:38] What Inspires Steve: The Jaw-Drop Moment Most people (including himself for years) are only half-aware of who they really are People are guessing, trying different things without true north Has unique ability to ask questions and see themes emerge quickly The magic moment: 45-60 minutes in, holds up "figurative mirror" [00:17:04] The Relationship That Changed Everything During first 10-year career job, Steve and colleague split country for sales/service One person better at sales, other better at service, but both trying to do both This insight plus reading StrengthsFinder completely revolutionized Steve's view of work [00:21:41] Recent Impact: Transforming His Pastor's Preaching Steve's work applies 100% to church settings, not just business Pastor came to dinner, Steve discussed "memory darts" concept Memory darts: short, vivid ideas using analogies, illustrations, or stories instead of elevator pitches Pastor wanted to improve preaching and asked Steve for help [00:23:58] Where to Find Steve & His Resources Company: Clarity Fuel (clarityfuel.com redirects to stevewoodruff.com) Most active on LinkedIn with newsletter and regular posts about clarity Two books: "Clarity Wins" (branding, niches, pigeonholes) and "The Point" (universal framework for clear communication) The challenge: "The Point" is for 8 billion people, anyone, any role, any place, anytime [00:26:40] The First 15 Seconds: Why They Matter Most Success boils down to the first 15 seconds of any interaction Must earn attention with something interesting, relevant, and compelling Get rid of the elevator pitch (telling and selling) Learn to answer "What do you do?" in 15 seconds that makes people say "Huh? Tell me more" Biggest problem: TMI (Too Much Information)   KEY QUOTES  "You can't read the label of the jar you're in. We are not able to be objective about ourselves. We need someone on the outside who can look at us and say, this is really who you are." - Steve Woodruff "I'm not here to train people to become what they're not. I'm here to reveal to them who they are. When you try to train people to be what they're not, you're setting yourself and them up for a world of hurt." - Steve Woodruff "We have stewardship over our lives. We have one life. If we're wasting it, even with good intentions doing the wrong thing, that's a terrible shame." - Steve Woodruff "People don't need information. They need to know why they should care." - Steve Woodruff "Nobody wants to hear your monologue. They want to hear something that makes them say, 'What in the world are you talking about? Tell me about it.' And we're off and running." - Steve Woodruff CONNECT WITH STEVE WOODRUFF

Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Daphna Barbeau speaks with Dr. Paige Terrien Church and Dr. Ashwini Lakshmanan about one of the most delicate yet essential aspects of neonatal care: communication. Drawing on their recent articles, the discussion highlights how the words we choose in the NICU profoundly shape families' experiences, hopes, and perceptions of their child's future.Dr. Church addresses the discomfort many clinicians feel when discussing disability, emphasizing how entrenched medical training and ableism can unintentionally bias conversations. She introduces the concepts of microethics—the subtle, everyday interactions between families and providers—and how language choices like “risk” versus “possibility” can dramatically shift tone and meaning. The group explores how framing outcomes around abilities and opportunities, rather than limitations, helps families make sense of uncertainty with dignity and clarity.Dr. Lakshmanan's qualitative work brings in the voices of parents, revealing how uncertainty permeates the NICU journey and affects bonding, mental health, and confidence. Together, the guests highlight strategies for building trust, addressing parental guilt, and creating systems of support during the transition from hospital to home.This episode challenges clinicians to pause, examine their own biases, and recognize language as a tool as powerful as any intervention delivered in the NICU.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

The clock is ticking for 17-year-old Nonhlanhla Mashabana. For months, she's buried herself in her textbooks. Now, instead of enjoying her matric dance like any teenager should, she can't shake her anxiety about the make-or-break final exams. They're just weeks away. In South Africa, the odds are against her: just 12 out of every 100 students who start Grade 1 will ever reach university. As Nonhlanhla prepares for her greatest challenge yet, the question is: Can she overcome a broken education system, or will it bring her down with it?  Show Notes This is episode two of a series from Radio Workshop that explores the transition to higher education in South Africa.

Well if that was the last Grand Prix at Imola for the forseeable future, it didn't leave us with a sour taste in the mouth and while it wasn't a classic race it was still better than some of the parades we've had round the circuit for the last 5 years since F1 made a return there in the patched together 2020 season.This week we take a look back at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the first of 2 Italian races this season and the start of the European races to boot. Could McLaren and in particular Oscar Piastri keep up their dominant form from the first quarter of the season, now we're not flying away as much, or with the appearance of a few upgrades (as is traditional at this time of year), would we see more than the papaya cars in the mix?The answer was both sort of yes and sort of no as Max Verstappen spoiled the papaya party this week by completely turning around a RedBull that he wasn't overly keen on up to Saturday afternoon to pull out his most Max-like performances of the season so far. After "that move" on turn 2, there was seemingly no stopping him from running away with it. Especially when McLaren decided to let their drivers race rather than try to strategise a win!Obviously we're as tangent heavy as always (for some reason that you'll hear) and we've ended up with Franz Ferdinand as our featured band of the week (when did this become a music pod?) And as a bonus, while he's not here this week, Dan has promised to be on more shows this year!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

"I would rather find what makes us similar than what makes us different." "What would it take for you to feel confident in the work that you're doing?" In this long overdue episode of the Better Call Daddy podcast, host Reena Friedman Watts reunites with her old friend Jaime Cohen for a candid discussion that transcends the ordinary. Jaime, a passionate communicator and advocate, opens up about her journey through the complexities of identity, trauma, and the search for connection in an increasingly polarized world. As they dive into the nuances of being neurodivergent, Jaime shares her experiences with bullying and the impact of anti-Semitism throughout her life. She reflects on the transformative power of community, recounting how her time at a summer camp in Wisconsin helped her embrace her true self in a world that often felt hostile. The conversation takes a poignant turn as they explore the recent events surrounding October 7th, a day that shook Jaime to her core, leading her to reassess her relationships and the importance of empathy in times of crisis. Reena and Jaime also discuss the significance of open dialogue, highlighting the need for curiosity and understanding in conversations about differing perspectives. Jaime emphasizes the value of vulnerability and the strength that comes from sharing one's story, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own journeys and the legacies they wish to create. With a sprinkle of humor and heartfelt insights, this episode is a beautiful reminder that true connection lies in our shared humanity, regardless of the labels we carry.
