Wie viele Verkaufstrainings kennst du, bei denen jemand anfängt zu weinen, weil er seiner Oma nie geschrieben hat? Eben. In dieser Folge geht's um volle Kalender, echte Emotionen – und darum, warum Verkaufen viel mehr ist als Technik. Stefan erzählt vom Community-Event in der Toskana, von Schuldgefühlen, Mut und Safe Spaces. Und Alex fragt sich, ob man eigentlich auch mit Pickel am Arsch kündigen darf. Business trifft Menschlichkeit – und genau das macht die Magie dieser Folge aus.

On this episode of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Adam and Drew unpack the myth of the European Union as a modern utopia, pointing out how little most people actually understand about how it functions. Dr. Drew stresses the value of learning from history, while Adam explores the extremes of human behavior—from remarkable achievements to shocking cruelty. They dig into the dangers of a victimhood mindset and offer a nuanced take on the legacy of colonialism. The conversation then shifts to President Trump's idea of hosting a UFC fight at the White House, leading Adam to reveal the one thing he dislikes about Trump. Finally, they revisit a decade-old clip of themselves discussing the future of political discourse, where Adam's prediction about the rise of political correctness proves eerily accurate.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Intentional Dad, hosts J. Fotsch and Jason Hynson welcome guest Brian Mattson from The Downtown Church for a heartfelt discussion on fostering trust and openness in family conversations. The dads explore how honesty, humility and consistency are crucial for building emotional safety at home—especially when discussing hard topics or addressing mistakes both theirs and their children's. The conversation emphasizes the power of modeling honesty and vulnerability, especially when parents admit they're wrong. The trio shares personal stories about navigating difficult questions from their kids, handling lies with grace and keeping communication age-appropriate while still truthful. They stress that maintaining an open-door policy—no matter the topic or time of day—lays the foundation for long-term trust. Their message is clear: being an intentional dad means creating space for honest conversations even when it's uncomfortable. Episode Highlights [02:02] "Being able to say I was wrong… I went up and I apologized for the 10% I missed. Did he say, 'You're right, I was wrong'? No. But I wanted to keep that door open." [03:21] "The more times that door gets shut incrementally, that's going to be a big deal a decade later." [08:06] "If my daughter comes to me with real questions, that lets me know she's old enough for a real answer." [18:00] "You don't necessarily get in trouble for the act… but if we find out that you're not truthful with Mom and Dad, that's when we're upset." [21:11] "When he's been told he's done wrong… that just shatters him. So you have to be tender, especially when you do catch him in a lie." [24:17] "I don't believe in trickle-down economics but I believe in trickle-down emotions." Resources

In this episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski sits down with Stephen Parker, architect and mental health planner at Stantec, to explore the power—and responsibility—of trauma-informed design. Stephen shares how his personal and professional experiences have fueled his mission to create spaces that foster safety, dignity, and belonging for people in crisis. From veterans living with PTSD to individuals overcoming addiction, Stephen explains why the built environment is never neutral—and how even simple details like door placement, daylight, and acoustic privacy can make or break a healing experience.

Hussain Manawer and Paris Chong discuss how Hussain's grief over his mother's passing has influenced his work as a poet. Hussain feels privileged to receive people's emotions as a form of currency during his performances, noting how many people cry. He views these emotional responses as a positive release for the audience and feels a responsibility to provide a safe space for them to express their feelings. Hussain sees his poetry, which often speaks about his mother, as part of his healing process. He also shares how traveling has allowed him to find "pockets of home" in different places and reflects on meeting people who have led to special opportunities, such as performing at the English Consulate General's home.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Hussain Manawerhttps://youtu.be/rg_oqbuwgxEhttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Episode #1001 Most guys have good intentions. You want to be supportive. You want to lift her up. But what if the way you respond is actually doing the opposite of what you think? In this episode, Doug sits down with Brad Holt to talk about something subtle but powerful: invalidation. It's one of the biggest blind spots men have in relationships—especially when it comes to trying to help, fix, or reassure. From phrases like “You look great” to trying to talk her out of what she's feeling, you might be accidentally sending the message that you don't really hear her. And when that happens often enough, she stops opening up. They break down how this plays out, how to spot it in real time, and what to do when you realize you've already said the wrong thing. This one's a wake-up call—and it's all about showing up with more awareness, not perfection. If you want a stronger connection with your wife, this is where to start. Not sure how you're showing up in your relationship? If you want to know where things really stand—and where you're unintentionally missing the mark—take the free Married Businessman Assessment. It only takes a few minutes, and it'll give you clear insight on how your actions are landing with your wife… and what to do next.

This episode is a story highlighting the misuse of power by an all white executive team that led to using black experiences and vulnerability to appear as though the organization wasn't relying on the culture of white supremacy to move its political agenda forward. Their actions tokenized a young woman, their hiring process demonstrates highly unethical practices and ended a standing trust within the community as a safe haven.

Many people push others away while desperately craving connection. Others battle chronic pain, digestive issues, or autoimmune conditions that seem to have no clear cause. But why is this? The answer often lies in unresolved childhood attachment trauma, specifically the experiences we had before we had words to make sense of them. This is why someone can have what looks like a good childhood but still struggle with anxiety, digestive problems, chronic pain, or autoimmune issues as an adult. The body remembers what the mind has forgotten. In this episode, Dr. Aimie breaks down the biology of early emotional pain and how it becomes stored in the body as chronic symptoms later in life. You'll discover the six core attachment wounds, why the body learns to stay in survival mode, how unresolved early trauma shapes your nervous system, immune system, and relationships in adulthood,  and most importantly, how to become your own safe person. You'll learn: [2:08] Why babies need to be held to survive and what happens when they're not [8:45] How to recognize if "it's not safe to relax" is your core attachment pattern [11:35] The health impacts of early attachment trauma [15:20]How fear becomes stored in the body as inflammation and chronic illness [20:49] The six core attachment wounds that shape our nervous system and relationships [25:30] How childhood wounds create the belief "I'm not capable" and lead to chronic overwhelm [30:08] The surprising link between people-pleasing and chronic pain [32:45] How brain fog, histamine intolerance, and depression can stem from attachment wounds [37:50] The three-phase roadmap to safely heal stored trauma in the body Whether you're someone living with unexplained chronic health issues or a practitioner supporting clients who seem stuck, this episode will help you understand the deep connection between childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and adult symptoms and what it really takes to heal.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche take a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable—but—essential parts of being a developer: developer feedback. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, they revisit their past topics and uncover new insights on how feedback, communication, and mindset shape stronger, more collaborative developers. AI's Perspective: Developer Feedback as a Growth Tool Rob kicks off the episode by sharing how they asked ChatGPT to structure a show around developer feedback. The AI delivered a simple but powerful reminder: Feedback isn't criticism. It's a tool for growth. Key Takeaway: “Professionals seek feedback. Amateurs avoid it.” By reframing feedback as data rather than a personal critique, developers can use it to refine their skills, just as they would when debugging their code. Rob emphasizes that real-time, in-person code reviews often reveal more than written comments. They provide opportunities for knowledge sharing, cross-training, and discovering undocumented project details. Creating a Safe Space for Developer Feedback Michael reminds listeners that developer feedback works best in a safe and collaborative environment. Taking a breath before reacting allows you to absorb feedback objectively. Pro Tip: Treat feedback as input to improve — not a personal attack. However, Michael cautions against over-relying on constant feedback. While it's essential for growth, too much can erode confidence. Effective developers seek feedback purposefully and filter out noise. Code Reviews: The Most Overlooked Feedback Tool Both hosts stress the value of regular code reviews as an essential form of developer feedback: They catch errors early Enforce coding standards Reduce duplication and dead code Provide cross-training for the team Michael's Advice: “If your code changes are too big to review efficiently, your process needs adjusting.” Regular, focused code reviews keep teams aligned, enhance code quality, and enable developers to learn from one another. Beyond Code: Communicating with Non-Developers Rob reminds us that actual growth comes not just from technical feedback but from communicating effectively with non-developers. Whether it's labeling input fields clearly or translating technical issues for business stakeholders, every interaction shapes project success. Developer Feedback in Action: Understanding your users' language makes your product better — and prevents avoidable frustration. How to Process Developer Feedback Without Ego The hardest part of handling developer feedback? Managing your emotions. Rob and Michael outline how to stay grounded: Don't react — review, digest, reflect Ask clarifying questions without defensiveness Look for patterns across multiple feedback sources By approaching feedback with curiosity rather than ego, developers grow faster and foster stronger teams. Final Thoughts: Winning Through Listening Rob closes with timeless advice: “The person who talks the least in a meeting often wins.” Listening more — to peers, customers, and users — leads to better feedback, fewer misunderstandings, and stronger products. Developer Feedback may be uncomfortable, but it remains one of the fastest, most effective ways to grow as a developer. Combined with AI tools, code reviews, and intentional communication, feedback turns everyday frustrations into long-term success.

Send us a textTo succeed, to be happy and healthy, kids need safety and support. Unfortunately, too many kids do not feel safe or supported at school or in out-of-school-time programs (OST) because they do not share the dominant culture's abilities, race, religion, orientation, identity or identity expression. For the third year in a row, Talking About Kids was granted media access to all of NYC Pride's events, and took the opportunity to ask two of the parade Grand Marshalls about the importance of safe spaces for kids. The first voice you will hear is Elisa Crespo, the Executive Director of the Stonewall Community Foundation. After her, you will hear Alaina Daniels, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Transformative Schools. More information about these activists, including links to their organizations, is at talkingaboutkids.com.

In this episode of the Kankakee Podcast, host Katherine Henson invites us inside the vibrant and inclusive Electric Lady Lounge to celebrate Pride Month with artist, activist, and community leader Bri Haug. Joined by guest Hannah Kurtz, Katherine and Bri dive into the story behind Electric Lady Lounge, a tattoo and piercing studio intentionally built as a safe, affirming space for everyone, regardless of body type, skin tone, or identity.Bri shares the origins of her career, her journey through cancer, and how she's used both art and activism to make Electric Lady Lounge a hub for healing, connection, and confidence.

Dr. Karalynn Royster, a child psychologist from Colorado, joins us to unravel the complexities of co-parenting with a challenging ex-partner. She shares her expertise on creating a home environment where children can thrive despite the turmoil of separation. By focusing on the well-being of the children and allowing them time to adapt, Dr. Royster highlights key indicators of children struggling with these changes, like behavioral shifts and separation anxiety, and reminds us that trusting our parental intuition is crucial during these transitions.Navigating tough conversations with children is no small feat, especially when it involves sensitive subjects like family conflicts or parental separations. We explore the nuances of validating children's feelings, fostering open communication, and addressing misconceptions without overwhelming them with adult complexities. By reinforcing parental love and commitment, we aim to create a secure space for children to voice their concerns, ensuring they feel heard and supported even when complete transparency isn't possible.The emotional terrain of co-parenting becomes even more intricate with new partners entering the picture. Expert Dr. Josh Coleman provides insights into managing children's emotions and preparing them for the layered grief that can accompany these changes. We emphasize the significance of patience and understanding in high-conflict co-parenting scenarios, offering strategies to maintain stability. Additionally, we explore the value of supportive communities and resources like online groups and specialized programs, underscoring the importance of having a reliable network during these challenging times.

In today's episode, I sit down with my incredible friend Adriana Martinez—an entrepreneur and a wife who has built and run successful businesses. What makes Adriana's story so powerful is not just her business acumen, but the deep, personal transformation she's gone through in her journey as a leader. She's someone who leads with both heart and mind, and in this episode, we dive deep into the real struggles, the lessons learned, and the challenges of leadership that don't often get talked about.About Adriana Adriana is the owner of Revel Workshop, a luxury salon focused on elevating stylists careers through top tier education and mentorship. As a personal and professional budgeting coach, she helps individuals and small business owners take control of their finances and build sustainable success. Passionate about connecting people and fostering growth, Adriana thrives on empowering others to achieve financial freedom and business excellence.The Constant Battle of LeadershipAdriana and I discussed how, in her journey as a business owner, she's learned the hard way that success is not just about achieving a goal—it's about navigating relationships. She runs two salons now, but no longer takes clients herself. Instead, she depends on the team she's built. And as any entrepreneur knows, that reliance on others can be terrifying.Adriana explained that her success is directly tied to the success of those around her. If an employee leaves, it sends a ripple effect through her business, and it's hard not to take it personally. She wants the best for her team, but at the same time, she can't help but feel disappointed and question her role as a leader when someone walks away.The Struggle with Loyalty and AbandonmentOne of the most real and raw moments came when Adriana admitted her fear of abandonment—something that I think many business owners can relate to. She's fiercely loyal, and she wants to offer the same loyalty in return. But when someone leaves, it can feel like a personal betrayal.This led us into a powerful conversation about capacity—both the capacity of those who work with you and the capacity of yourself as a leader. I asked her the tough question: Do you really expect everyone to match your capacity?Her answer was insightful: Not necessarily, but it's hard to see them leave because it feels like failure.I reminded her that no one else will ever be able to match her level of commitment and capacity, especially if they are not in the same business-owner role. And the difference between what she expects and what others can deliver is where the disappointment lies.The Hard Truth of Leadership: Not Everyone StaysAdriana shared that she knows logically that employees leave because it's time for them to grow, and that they are not abandoning her. But the emotional side of her—fueled by that deep sense of loyalty—makes it feel like a personal loss.We both agreed that this is an inherent part of business ownership. You pour so much into people, and when they leave, it can feel like everything you've built is crumbling. But the reality is, it's just part of the process. People come, people go. As leaders, we must embrace this as part of the natural flow of growth.The Importance of Words of AffirmationOne of the key moments in our conversation was when Adriana admitted something that she had long avoided—she is, in fact, a words of affirmation person. As much as she resisted it, I could tell that hearing those words of appreciation made a difference for her. She shared how she does everything for people, often with no expectation of recognition, but deep down, she craves acknowledgment.I pointed out that we often mistake confirmation for affirmation. Confirmation simply states that something is true—like a ticket for a flight. It's factual, impersonal. Affirmation, on the other hand, acknowledges the goodness of what we do and who we are. It's not about fluff—it's about recognizing effort, commitment, and value. Adriana hadn't fully embraced that she needs affirmation too, but the more we unpacked this, the clearer it became.Creating a Safe Space for VulnerabilityOne of the things I admire most about Adriana is her ability to create safety for others. She may not always want or seek affirmation, but she unknowingly creates a space where her team and clients feel safe to share, grow, and even leave when the time is right. That safety comes from trust, and I encouraged her to allow herself to experience the same kind of trust in return.Leaders often think they have to protect themselves from getting hurt, but what if we created spaces where we could allow ourselves to be seen and affirmed too?Letting Go of ControlAdriana also shared her internal battle with letting go of control. For a long time, she thought that to keep things running smoothly, she needed to handle it all herself. She resisted relying on others. But through the years, she's realized that leadership doesn't mean doing everything yourself. It means trusting others, and embracing the idea that not everyone will stay forever, and that's okay.I encouraged her to celebrate the contributions of her team, and to reframe the way she looks at people leaving. Rather than feeling abandoned, what if she saw it as the natural progression of their growth? They are moving on to the next phase of their life, and her role was to help them get there.The Takeaway: Safe Spaces and GrowthThe most powerful lesson in this episode? We need to start seeing ourselves for who we are and what we're doing. We need to recognize that, as leaders, we are not just responsible for the success of our business—we're also responsible for creating environments that allow people to thrive, grow, and sometimes move on.Adriana's story is a testament to the power of vulnerability, clarity, and affirmation. As leaders, we must be open to receiving those things just as much as we offer them.Resources MentionedJoin my free leadership workshop: https://rockygarza.com/confidence Follow Adriana on Instagram: @adrianaymartinezAdriana's website: https://revelworkshop.com Key Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Unfinished Leadership00:39 Adriana Martinez's Journey and Challenges01:27 The Struggles of Relying on Others02:47 Balancing Personal and Professional Relationships04:34 The Emotional Impact of Employee Turnover09:02 Seeking Affirmation and Appreciation17:24 Creating a Safe and Loyal Work Environment19:01 Navigating Business Challenges20:25 Reframing Employee Departures21:26 Creating a Supportive Culture22:36 Balancing Vulnerability and Strength24:38 The Importance of Affirmation25:36 Building Trust and Safety27:14 Embracing Words of Affirmation34:36 Final Reflections and EncouragementTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Jeff Strong worked nearly 30 years in the consumer products industry as a senior executive at Procter & Gamble and global president and chief customer officer at Johnson & Johnson. He then taught in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University and worked as an advisor to the Church before serving as a mission leader in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. Jeff has since spent several years doing research on why people are leaving the Church. While not a professional researcher, his career involved a large amount of research and the research he shares in this podcast was done with the help of some of the top Latter-day Saint researchers in the world. Today, Jeff lives in Midway, Utah, and stays busy with a little lavender farm, some business consulting, and enjoying family.

He discusses the findings from a comprehensive survey that aimed to understand disaffiliation and the tensions members experience in their church lives. A key takeaway is the importance of understanding what members love about the Church, revealing the core values that bind members together, despite the tensions they may feel. Jeff talks about the tensions present in church culture, emphasizing the dual facets of this conflict: the tension between tradition and change, and the tension arising from our differences. He explores how members often feel a significant conflict in their church experience, with many expressing discomfort with the culture. Jeff presents data indicating that nearly half of the respondents felt a significant conflict, and more than half did not feel a strong sense of belonging in their congregations. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing this tension rather than attempting to eliminate it. 00:02:40 - Purpose of the Survey on Disaffiliation 00:05:12 - Survey Response Insights 00:07:38 - What People Love About the Church 00:10:30 - Core Values of Church Members 00:12:33 - Strengths of the Church 00:13:10 - Tension Between Tradition and Change 00:16:00 - Navigating Cultural Differences 00:19:15 - Understanding Tension in Church Experience 00:22:10 - Data on Comfort and Belonging 00:23:38 - Recognizing Conflict in the Congregation 00:30:02 - Tension Between Personal and Cultural Values 00:35:44 - Embracing Tension in Leadership 00:40:08 - Creating a Safe Space for Tension The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Becca Kearl had just moved to a new town when she decided to organize a public conversation about one of the most controversial topics: sex education. No formal training. No guarantees.

Amidst constant change, clear communication is the key to navigating uncertainty.How do you communicate with others when you're confused yourself? For Rob Siegel, leadership isn't about avoiding uncertainty, it's about embracing the clarity that ambiguity can bring."What if ambiguity is the new normal?" asks Siegel, a venture investor and lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business. From rapidly evolving AI to ratcheting geopolitical tensions, every day brings a “crisis du jour,” he says. “I may like it, I may not like it. That doesn't really matter, but I've gotta get my team through it."In his latest book, The Systems Leader: Mastering the Cross Pressures That Make or Break Today's Companies, Siegel explores how leaders today are “living in dualities,” caught between managing existing processes and adapting to emerging disruptions. “The sooner we get comfortable with [change] in the sense of ‘I don't have to like it, but I can deal with it,' then [we can] lead our teams and give them the calm to know they can get through this.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Siegel and host Matt Abrahams explore how to communicate effectively amidst constant change. From preparation strategies for spontaneous speaking to building trust through candid conversations, Siegel offers practical tips for communicating with clarity when nothing is certain but change.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Robert SiegelRob's Book: The Systems LeaderEp.35 Leading From The Hot Seat: How To Communicate Under PressureEp.37 Be Better: How Communication Catalyzes Business Transformation  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:49) - Adapting Leadership for Uncertainty (03:18) - Systems Leadership and Cross Pressures (04:40) - Communication and Context (05:26) - Framing Complex Ideas (06:21) - Innovation vs. Execution (08:11) - Leading Through Ambiguity (09:33) - Short-Term vs. Long-Term Focus (12:44) - Balancing Strength and Empathy (15:26) - Leadership with Humanity (16:42) - Engaging Students Effectively (20:00) - The Final Three Questions (23:41) - Conclusion    *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.
