Implementing a national patient safety plan sounds straightforward on paper. In practice, it requires something far more challenging: shifting an entire organization's culture.  In this episode, Patricia McGaffigan, RN, VP, IHI; President, Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety, talks with the Vice President for Patient Safety and Compliance within Ascension, Kelly Randall, Ph.D. about how one of the nation's largest health systems is implementing the Safer Together National Action Plan across nearly 100 hospitals.   Their path forward involves creating tiered safety huddles that connect frontline nurses to executive leadership daily. They've launched programs like "We've Got Your Back" to protect those who speak up, and celebrate near misses alongside wins through their "Everyday Hero of Safety" recognition. They discuss how increased safety event reporting signals growing trust, not growing problems, and understanding that when nurses create workarounds, they're often highlighting things that do not work or broken systems.  This is a success story, but one that continues to unfold. It's about the ongoing work of opening communication channels, actively listening across all levels, breaking down hierarchical barriers, and continuous learning. As Kelly reminds us, sometimes you must walk, not run, to go faster when transforming culture. 

In this profoundly emotional episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Andrew Pollack, father of Meadow Pollack — one of the victims of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, FloridaAndrew shares his journey from unimaginable loss to relentless advocacy, turning grief into a nationwide movement for school safety, accountability, and change. He speaks candidly about the failures that led to the tragedy, the reforms Florida has implemented since, and his ongoing mission to make sure no parent endures what he has.Through moments of heartbreak and hard truth, Andy's voice cuts through the politics and noise to remind listeners that parental involvement, training, and accountability save lives. From holding local officials responsible to designing cutting-edge safety technology, Andy's message is clear: complacency kills — action protects.The conversation expands beyond headlines into personal conviction, faith, and leadership.

It's a father's mission to protect every child in America.Key Takeaways-Parents have the power to demand change and protect their children.-Florida leads the nation in school-safety reforms — accountability matters.-Complacency kills: “You gotta know better now.”-Accountability for law enforcement and policy leaders saves lives.-Technology and training together create real-world safety solutions.-Victims deserve action, not excuses.Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGAAndrew Pollackhttps://www.instagram.com/andrewpollackfl/

Dr. Craig Kaplan is the Founder and CEO of iQ Company, a leading consulting firm specializing in the ethical and safe development of advanced AI and Superintelligent systems. With over 20 years at the helm, Dr. Kaplan has published a book, numerous patents, and ten whitepapers on Safe Superintelligence. His former company, PredictWallStreet, earned top recognition for outperforming major financial institutions like NASDAQ and TD Ameritrade. In this episode… As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at lightning speed, the world is grappling with a pivotal question: can we build systems powerful enough to change the world without losing control of them? What would it take to design smarter, safer, and more transparent AI that humanity can truly trust? According to Dr. Craig Kaplan, a pioneering figure in AI and collective intelligence systems, the key lies in prevention and design. He emphasizes that most of today's AI models function as "black boxes," where even their creators can't fully explain how decisions are made — a recipe for unpredictable behavior. Dr. Kaplan argues that the industry must focus on embedding safety at the design phase, not patching it afterward. Drawing from decades in AI and software quality, he highlights how systems designed with human oversight, transparency, and collective intelligence can be both safer and more profitable, ensuring accountability while maintaining innovation's momentum. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Dr. Craig Kaplan, Founder and CEO of iQ Company, about designing safer and more transparent AI systems. They explore the flaws in current AI training, the promise of collective intelligence, and the urgent need for ethical frameworks. Dr. Kaplan also shares why smarter design (not slower development) is the path to both safety and progress.

For years, working on AI safety usually meant theorising about the ‘alignment problem' or trying to convince other people to give a damn. If you could find any way to help, the work was frustrating and low feedback.According to Anthropic's Holden Karnofsky, this situation has now reversed completely.There are now large amounts of useful, concrete, shovel-ready projects with clear goals and deliverables. Holden thinks people haven't appreciated the scale of the shift, and wants everyone to see the large range of ‘well-scoped object-level work' they could personally help with, in both technical and non-technical areas.Video, full transcript, and links to learn more: https://80k.info/hk25In today's interview, Holden — previously cofounder and CEO of Open Philanthropy — lists 39 projects he's excited to see happening, including:Training deceptive AI models to study deception and how to detect itDeveloping classifiers to block jailbreakingImplementing security measures to stop ‘backdoors' or ‘secret loyalties' from being added to models in trainingDeveloping policies on model welfare, AI-human relationships, and what instructions to give modelsTraining AIs to work as alignment researchersAnd that's all just stuff he's happened to observe directly, which is probably only a small fraction of the options available.Holden makes a case that, for many people, working at an AI company like Anthropic will be the best way to steer AGI in a positive direction. He notes there are “ways that you can reduce AI risk that you can only do if you're a competitive frontier AI company.” At the same time, he believes external groups have their own advantages and can be equally impactful.Critics worry that Anthropic's efforts to stay at that frontier encourage competitive racing towards AGI — significantly or entirely offsetting any useful research they do. Holden thinks this seriously misunderstands the strategic situation we're in — and explains his case in detail with host Rob Wiblin.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Holden is back!

Darryl Wright: The Retrospective Formats That Actually Generate Change Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "My success is, how much have I helped the team achieve what they want? If what they want is to uplift quality, or to reduce their time to market, well then, my success is helping them achieve that." - Darryl Wright When Darryl enters a new organization, he's often told his success will be measured by percentage of Agile adoption or team maturity assessment scores. His response is direct: those are vanity metrics that show something for its own sake, not real success. True success requires multiple measures, carefully balanced to prevent gaming and to capture both the human and business dimensions of work. Darryl advocates balancing quantitative metrics like lead time and flow efficiency with qualitative measures like employee happiness and team self-assessment of productivity. He balances business outcomes like customer satisfaction and revenue with humanity metrics that track the team's journey toward high performance. Most importantly, Darryl believes his success metrics should be co-created with the team. If he's there to help the team, then success must be defined by how much he's helped them achieve what they want—not what he wants. When stakeholders fixate on output metrics like "more story points," Darryl uses a coaching approach to shift the conversation toward outcomes and value. "Would you be happy if your team checked off more boxes, but your customers were less happy?" he asks. This opens space for exploring what they really want to achieve and why it matters. The key is translating outputs into impacts, helping people articulate the business value or customer experience improvement they're actually seeking. As detailed in Better Value, Sooner, Safer, Happier by Jonathan Smart, comprehensive dashboards can track value across multiple domains simultaneously—balancing speed with quality, business success with humanity, quantitative data with qualitative experience. When done well, Agile teams can be highly productive, highly successful, and have high morale at the same time. We don't have to sacrifice one for the other—we can have both. Self-reflection Question: If your team could only track two metrics for the next sprint, what would they choose? What would you choose? And more importantly, whose choice should drive the selection? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: The 4 L's and Three Little Pigs Darryl offers two favorites, tailored to different contexts. For learning environments, he loves the 4 L's retrospective: Liked, Learned, Lacked, and Longed For. This format creates space for teams to reflect on their learning journey, surfacing insights about what worked, what was missing, and what they aspire to moving forward. For operational environments, he recommends the Three Little Pigs retrospective, which brilliantly surfaces team strengths and weaknesses through a playful metaphor. The House of Straw represents things the team is weak at—nothing stands up, everything falls over. The House of Sticks is things they've put structure around, but it doesn't really work. The House of Bricks represents what they're solid on, what they can count on every time. Then comes the most important part: identifying the Big Bad Wolf—the scary thing, the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about but everyone knows is there. This format creates psychological safety to discuss the undiscussable. Darryl emphasizes two critical success factors for retrospectives: First, vary your formats. Teams that hear the same questions sprint after sprint will disengage, asking "why are you asking me again?" Different questions provide different lenses, generating fresh insights. Second, ensure actions come out of every retro. Nothing kills engagement faster than suggestions disappearing into the void. When people see their ideas lead to real changes, they'll eagerly return to the next retrospective. And don't forget to know your team—if they're sports fans, use sports retros; if they're scientists, use space exploration themes. Just don't make the mistake of running a "sailboat retro" with retiring mainframe engineers who'll ask if you think they're kindergarten children. For more retrospective formats, check out Retromat.

In-utero procedures can yield better long-term outcomes for the baby. However, fetal surgery relies on instruments developed for other disciplines. An early-stage startup in Maryland is developing in-utero instruments to improve outcomes for both fetus and mother.Fetal Therapy Technologies CEO Selena Shirkin joins Key Tech's Andy Rogers for Episode 42 of the MedTech Speed to Data podcast to discuss startup innovation in fetal surgery.Need to knowFetal surgeries carry risks — In addition to uterine damage complicating future pregnancies, 40% of surgeries have a risk of preterm birth.Few specialized tools are used — In the field's forty-year history, the FDA has only approved the Karl Storz Fetoscope for use in fetal surgeries.Off-label device use is widespread — Equipment borrowed from adjacent fields like laparoscopy and neurosurgery weren't indicated for use in the uterus.The nitty-grittyShirkin and Chief Technology Officer Eric McAlexander founded Fetal Therapy Technologies as students in Johns Hopkins University's biomedical engineering graduate program. While shadowing surgeons, they saw how off-label instruments complicated procedures.“I watched a surgeon using a grasper and suture,” Shirkin recalled. “The suture was falling out of the grasper because they didn't fit. It took time in the surgery to make sure that didn't occur.”Observations like these led the team to wonder why the field lacked optimized tools. “As biomedical engineers,” Shirkin says, “we asked ourselves what if we created those purpose-built instruments that actually make these procedures safer?”They quickly ran into the commercial limits of a market as small as fetal surgery. With only one device FDA-approved for in-uterine procedures, surgeons have no choice but to use devices off-label. So Fetal Therapy Technologies is flipping the script by leveraging the broader applications of an instrument designed for fetal surgeries.“In a way, our company solves two problems at once,” Shirkin says. “A company that creates a fetal innovation [that] also raises a much broader market of general microsurgery.”Their first product is a uterine port. “Similar to laparoscopic surgeries,” Shirkin explains, “that involves inserting a port through the abdomen into the uterus. [The new] port is designed to leverage the elastic properties of the uterine environment to make entry safer than the current clinical standard.”For broader commercialization, they aim to demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices and qualify as a 510(k) Class II device following benchtop and animal studies. Approval for fetal surgeries is a longer journey, but the company can build on its data before entering human trials.Data that made the difference:Shirkin offered insights for other students considering an entrepreneurial future in MedTech.Leverage university resources. “We work incredibly closely with the Johns Hopkins Center for Fetal Therapy,” Shirkin says. We've also gotten opportunities from Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures.”Build a network of advisors. “We are supported by a very broad variety of clinical, technical, and business mentors across the Johns Hopkins ecosystem and beyond.”Tap into local funding sources. “There's a lot of collegiate business plan competitions that we've been very successful [raising] non-dilutive funds that way. There are also state-level grants. We just received a Baltimore Innovation Initiative grant.”

Darryl Wright: The Agile Team That Committed to Failure for 18 Sprints Straight Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "As Deming said, a bad system will beat a good person every time." - Darryl Wright Darryl was called in to help a struggling team at a large energy retailer. The symptoms seemed straightforward—low morale, poor relationships, and chronic underdelivery. But as he asked questions, a heartbreaking pattern emerged. The team had been "committing" to 110 story points per sprint while consistently delivering only 30. For 18 sprints. When Darryl asked why the team would commit to numbers they couldn't possibly achieve, the answer was devastating: "The business needs that much." This wasn't a problem of skill or capability—it was learned helplessness in action. Sprint after sprint, the team experienced failure, which made them more despondent and less effective, creating a vicious downward spiral. The business lost trust, the team lost confidence, and everyone was trapped in a system that guaranteed continued failure. When Darryl proposed the solution—committing to a realistic 30 points—he was told it was impossible because "the business needs 110 points." But the business wasn't getting 110 points anyway. They were getting broken promises, a demoralized team, stress leave, high churn, and a relationship built on distrust. Darryl couldn't change the system in that case, but the lesson was clear: adult people who manage their lives perfectly well outside work can become completely helpless inside work when the system repeatedly tells them their judgment doesn't matter. As Ricardo Semler observes in Maverick!, people leave their initiative at the door when organizations create systems that punish honest assessment and reward false promises. Self-reflection Question: Is your team committing to what they believe they can achieve, or to what they think someone else wants to hear? What would happen if they told the truth? Featured Book of the Week: Better Value, Sooner, Safer, Happier by Jonathan Smart Darryl describes Better Value, Sooner, Safer, Happier by Jonathan Smart as a treasure trove of real-life experience from people who have "had their sleeves rolled up in the trenches" for decades. What he loves most is the authenticity—the authors openly share not just their successes, but all the things that didn't work and why. One story that crystallizes the book's brilliance involves Barclays Bank and their ingenious approach to change adoption. Facing resistance from laggards who refused to adopt Agile improvements despite overwhelming social proof, they started publishing lists of "most improved teams." When resisters saw themselves at the bottom of these public lists, they called to complain—and were asked, "Did you have improvements we didn't know about?" The awkward pause would follow, then the inevitable question: "How do I get these improvements?" Demand creation at its finest. Darryl particularly appreciates that the authors present at conferences saying, "Let me tell you about all the things we've stuffed up in major agile transformations all around the world," bringing genuine humility and practical wisdom to every page.

The guessing game ends here. We're laying out a clear, fair system that protects your training time, improves safety, and frees our coaches to coach. From unpredictable 6 a.m. swings to over‑capacity evenings, we've seen how chaos hurts the class experience—so we're moving to an industry‑standard model that works.We break down exactly how it all fits together: class caps at 25 to keep sessions safe and efficient; peak vs non‑peak hours so you know when to plan ahead; and firm cancellation windows with simple, transparent fees that encourage accountability without punishing honest mistakes. You'll hear how 5 a.m. locked a year of spots due to consistent attendance, why 6 a.m. needs proactive booking, and how waitlists and caps prevent sardine‑style workouts and rushed coaching. We also walk through the December soft‑launch (reduced fees) and the January 2 switch to full standards, plus what happens if you arrive as number 26 when the room is already full.You'll get a tour of the updated tech flow. Our rebuilt Double Edge app for iOS and Android lets you see capacity, reserve classes, and auto check‑in when you enter the gym; MindBody fills the gap until launch. Coaches will no longer manage the sign‑in line—every minute they're not staring at a screen is a minute back to cue movement, watch warm‑ups, and tailor the workout to the room. We also clarify memberships: Unlimited means classes only; All Access includes open gym and gets priority booking, followed by Unlimited, then class packs. Consistent at one hour three or more days a week? We can pre‑book you for the year—with the responsibility to cancel when you're out.If you value a safer, smoother, more predictable hour, this is your playbook. Reserve your spot, respect the windows, and help us build a training environment where the floor is clear, the coaching is sharp, and every session feels worth your time.

In today's episode, I'm getting really honest about something that came up big at our recent retreat - how control can feel so much safer than surrender, and how that need to control everything is actually wrecking our health and stealing our peace. I know this might sting a little because none of us want to admit we're controlling, right? We call it being responsible or having standards. But underneath all of that is usually fear - fear that if we don't hold it all together, everything will fall apart. We're talking about how this shows up in our marriages when we try to manage instead of partner, in motherhood when we can't rest unless everyone's okay, and in our health when our bodies are literally screaming for us to let go. The truth is, control might have kept you safe when you were younger, but now it's keeping you in bondage. And God's inviting you into something so much better.

If your summer containers still look surprisingly lush, don't toss them out just yet. This week on the podcast, Joanne discusses how, with a little care, you can enjoy them again next year. Tune in to learn how to overwinter your annuals. Topics discussed: Many annuals are still looking great in mid-October — don't toss them yet! You can successfully overwinter several annuals to save money and enjoy them again next year. There's no single foolproof method; success depends on the type of plant, growing conditions, and care. Joanne shares three main methods: bringing the whole plant indoors, taking cuttings, and storing tubers. Method 1: Bring the Whole Plant Indoors (Treat as a Houseplant) Works well for mixed containers where some plants still look healthy. Steps: Scoop out healthy plants, repot in fresh soil. Use a tray or boot tray with gravel to create humidity. Lightly water (avoid soggy soil). Treat with Safer's insecticidal soap, diatomaceous earth, or Bios Nutrients herbal plant soap to remove insects. Keep in a cool location with indirect light (e.g., basement or bright garage that doesn't freeze). Reduce watering through winter; keep soil barely moist. Trim plants back slightly. Begin fertilizing lightly again as days lengthen (Feb–March). Examples: Coleus Geraniums (Pelargoniums) Million Bells (Calibrachoa) — heavy feeders; need more light Method 2: Take Cuttings Ideal for plants like Coleus, Cigar Plant (Cuphea ignea), Geraniums, and others with soft stems. Process: Take small cuttings (3–4 inches). Remove lower leaves. Root in water until roots form. Pot rooted cuttings in small pots (3-inch) with fresh soil. Use Ziploc bags or plastic covers to maintain humidity if needed. Grow under indirect light or with grow lights. Benefits: Saves space compared to bringing in full plants. Allows propagation of multiple new plants. Method 3: Save Tubers (Overwinter Dormant) Best for plants like Tuberous Begonias, Canna Lilies, and Dahlias. Steps: Let the plant naturally die back (reduce watering). After foliage dries up, gently remove tubers from soil. Do not wash — just brush off soil and roots. Allow to dry completely. Store in paper bags, cardboard boxes, or vermiculite/newspaper. Keep in a cool, dark, dry location all winter. In late February/March, inspect tubers for rot or mildew. Pot them up with fresh soil and water lightly until new growth appears. General Tips & Insights This process helps extend your garden budget and reduce spring costs. Overwintering annuals is an experiment — expect variable results. Minimal maintenance: check occasionally for dryness or rot. Grow lights can improve success, especially for tropical plants. Try both full-plant and cutting methods to compare results. Share propagated plants with friends and neighbours! Think ahead when choosing annuals next spring — pick varieties worth saving. Final Thoughts Overwintering annuals is low-cost and low-risk — a great winter experiment. Use it as a way to stay connected to your garden through the cold months. Even if you missed the window this year, plan to try it next fall. The reward: saving money, learning new skills, and keeping your garden thriving year after year.

Welcome back to our 2025 Stoelting Conference Podcast Series. Fever isn't the fail-safe it's made out to be—especially in pregnancy. We walk through the subtle ways maternal sepsis hides in plain sight, why a quarter of those who died never had a fever, and how early warning tools, rapid antibiotics, and source control change the odds. From there, we pivot to maternal hemorrhage and show how quantifying blood loss with calibrated drapes plus a treatment bundle outperforms the old habit of visual estimation. We dig into TXA timing for high‑risk cesarean patients, the evidence gaps on transfusion strategies, and how placenta accreta spectrum demands regionalized teams and rehearsed playbooks.The conversation then turns to venous thromboembolism, still a leading cause of maternal mortality. Risk climbs five- to six-fold and peaks postpartum, so we stress reassessment at prenatal intake, during any antepartum admission, at delivery, and before discharge. We compare heparin and low molecular weight heparin in real-world settings, highlight extremely low neuraxial hematoma risk when following ASRA guidance, and share concrete workflow tactics: pre-delivery anesthesia consults, unit-wide alerting, anticoagulant hold triggers, and pre-procedure huddles that keep patients safe while preserving neuraxial options.Threaded through each segment is a practical theme: faster recognition, standardized bundles, and tight communication save mothers' lives. If you're building a safer unit, start with tools that measure what matters, empower nurses to escalate, and remove delays between suspicion and action.

Steve Bannon joins me on today's show to discuss everything happening on the world stage. As Scott Bessent's list of Fed Chair candidates dwindles away, he is only prolonging the inevitable, him being dual hatted as Fed Chair and Secretary of Treasury. China's recent stronghold of rare earth minerals has created more tension as Bessent rebuked the top Chinese trade negotiator calling him "very disrespectful." Bannon wants people to wake up as the economic war China is waging on the U.S. is the precursor to kinetic war between the two superpowers. At the sametime, President Zelensky is seeking U.S. tomahawk missiles to infiltrate Russia's mainland and end the assault on Ukraine. President Putin has already stated that this is the same as U.S. involvement in the ongoing conflict and he is ready to send two million more troops. Bannon says the rising tensions between these two countries have reached the most dangerous point in history. As the deepstate bides its time with President Trump's presidency, heavy prosecution must come down or else they will reclaim power as soon as he leaves office. The FBI is shutting down conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk's assassination but Bannon does not believe the official narrative at all. While having trust and faith in Kash Patel as FBI Director, he must bring the receipts that make the story and the timeline make sense.

In This Episode Many bank leaders are currently grappling with the same paradox: despite having access to more data than ever, it's increasingly difficult to discern what truly matters. Budgets are tight, initiatives are piling up, and the market sends conflicting signals, all while the imperative to remain relevant to customers persists. Breaking Banks did a show on VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) three weeks ago (if you missed it, take a listen when you get a chance!). When there's VUCA, the natural inclination is to add more—more dashboards, more projects, more committees—yet this rarely leads to clarity. This episode of Breaking Banks features Catherine Lynch from Citizens Bank and Greg Palmer, host of sister podcast Finovate. They discuss the importance of human-centered innovation. Catherine Lynch leads digital experience and human-centered design at Citizens, a super-regional bank with approximately 1,000 branches primarily in the Northeast and $220 billion in assets. With over 20 years in banking and prior experience at Accenture and various tech startups, Catherine has dedicated her career to leveraging technology to solve customer problems. At Citizens, she focuses on digital channel strategy and experience design for a diverse customer base, including consumers, commercial clients, and wealth management customers. Catherine explains that all banking clients share three fundamental needs: seeing their money, moving their money, and protecting their money. However, these needs have evolved as people navigate cognitive overload, economic stress, and reduced community connections, leading to a demand for simpler and easier banking experiences. To meet these changing expectations, Citizens employs a human-centered design approach, placing customer needs at the core of their problem-solving process through empathy, collaboration, iteration, and testing. Their innovation lab, part of Green Pixel Studios, enables them to observe customer interactions and rapidly develop solutions for pain points. With its human centered focus and work building the right kind of innovative community, the future looks bright for Citizens Bank as it continues to deliver exceptional customer experiences and help customers navigate today's information overload.

The White House press pool can't keep up with President Trump's grueling schedule. Politico's playbook shared how President Trump worked the entire time during 2 overnight flights to the middle east and back. The trip in which he visited Israel to speak in front of the Knesset as hostages were returned safely. Then, President Trump went to Egypt for the Middle East peace summit with world leaders from Europe and Arab countries. The president flew home to meet with Argentinian President Javier Milei, then awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously. The reporters were both stunned and baffled on how the president worked so hard with days of no sleep. The Schumer shutdown continues and Democrats are losing the messaging war, badly. As they take to the streets this weekend for the "no kings" protests, republicans have been eager to open up the government. Maybe democrats will figure out what they want this weekend so they can stop keeping the American people hostage. As NYC gets ready to watch the Mayoral debate tonight, is the race already over and in the bag for Zohran Mamdani? Our superstar panels cover all this and more... PLUS this week's winners and losers!

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Rebecca Payne to examine how unresolved trauma shows up at work—from micromanagement and perfectionism to dissociation, people-pleasing, and chronic burnout. We break down red flags leaders should not ignore, why psychological safety drives performance and retention, and practical boundary resets employees can start today. This is a direct, no-fluff guide to trauma-informed culture, sustainable productivity, and healthier team dynamics   About the guest  : Dr. Rebecca Payne is a California-based licensed psychologist who translates clinical psychology into clear, useful conversations about anxiety, relationships, money, identity, and behavior patterns. She helps individuals and organizations recognize trauma echoes and build safer, more effective ways of working.   Key takeaways  : Trauma travels to work: micromanagement, shutdown during feedback, dissociation in meetings, and perfectionism can be trauma echoes impacting team performance. Two common trauma responses: hyperarousal (defensiveness, quick anger) vs. dissociation (zoning out, forgetting), each with distinct risks at work. Boundary pitfalls: chronic yes-saying and overwork are boundary issues that accelerate burnout and harm results. Leader red flags: excessive people-pleasing, distrust of authority, poor sleep/visible stress, tearfulness, or freeze responses signal deeper issues. Psychological safety pays: trauma-informed environments innovate more, perform better, and retain longer—it's operationally smart, not just “nice.” Start small with “no”: assess your workload realistically and practice low-stakes no's; protect workouts and personal time to rebuild capacity. Name your pattern: invite feedback—e.g., “If I start to control details, call it out”—to open safer, non-therapeutic workplace dialogue. Body as data: notice heart rate, sweating, or memory blanks after meetings; those signals can map what needs healing.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://itsdoctorpayne.com/ Instagram: @itsdoctorpayne TikTok: @itsdoctorpayne   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

President Trump returned to the United States after and monumental trip to the Middle East. After speaking to the Knesset in Israel as hostages were returned to their loved ones, the president flew to Egypt to meet with Arab leaders to sign the peace deal and end the war in Gaza. President Trump came home just in time to honor Charlie Kirk posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom award. Jim McLaughlin is here to discuss President Trump's approval and where we stand in the upcoming Governor's races. In New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli is booming with tons of momentum, having been endorsed by President Trump he is out there everyday doing events and meeting people. Mikie Sherrill on the other hand is hiding much like Kamala Harris. With a scandal at the Navy and her shady stock trading practices, Sherril is getting bombarded with bad press. In Virginia, Republicans are set to sweep the race as Abigail Spanberger is sticking by jay Jones and his homicidal fantasies. In New York, radical Socialist Zohran Mamdani is set to be the new Mayor of New York as Republicans have failed to put a good candidate forward. Interesting how all the Democrats in these races are riddled with scandal and radicalism. All the while, Chuck Schumer makes average Americans suffer so he can play politics in Congress.
