I hear the word "vibes" used as a stand in for a lot of different things. Most often it is used to describe a somewhat ambiguous sense of good feelings or peace of mind around a culture or a person. The idea is great, but the issue is that without having specific and meaningful definitions of what brings those vibes to fruition, we end up with more problems than good times.  Today on Shift Break we will be talking about how you can avoid making critical decisions around hiring, work, and the operation of your cafe based solely on "vibes", and start to make wise decisions based on standards that are based on more than a feeling.    KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS APPLY TO THE 2026 KHCG COHORT! For cafe owners, the way you and your coffee shop grow is determined by how you are supported and nourished by community. The trouble is most owners are isolated, stressed, and are in desperate need of a type of community that is not just generally related to business but is made up entirely of other coffee shop owners who know exactly where you are coming from.  That is what Key Holder Coaching Groups are all about.  A small group of invested coffee shop owners who are dedicated to encouragement, accountability, insights, and helping each other grow.  Our groups are limited 6-7 experienced cafe owners and we meet 12 times over 6 months in our Zoom sessions where we focus on member led topics that are actually relevant to the real life of a cafe owner.  Each member received 2 hours of one-on-one coaching through this time and has access to our Circle community where they can keep the connection and conversation going between our calls.  I would love to talk with you about how this unique group can make a difference in your life.  Look below for a few testimonials of past members and click this link to apply for the Fall 2026 cohort!  APPLY TO THE 2026 KHCG COHORT!   Testimonials: My name is Susanna Winters and I am the owner and co -founder of Hilton Head Island Coffee Roasters. We're based out of Hilton Head, South Carolina. I've been part of Chris's key holder coaching group for I guess about five months now. And prior to that, I have participated in a few different business groups and business mentorship programs. And this coaching group has by far been the best and provided some of most value that we've received honestly in the two and a half years that we've been in business. And I think it's a combination of being paired with other business owners who are all at different places in their business. It really helps us take this big picture approach as well as get that really nitty gritty feedback, not only of what we need right now, but also what we might need a year from now. And the group that I was part of, it was honestly just so much fun and so much fun getting to know this group. Everyone provided so much value and they were honest and they were vulnerable and they were so transparent with their businesses and everyone really took that extra step to support each other, which is one of the reasons why I'm signing up to do it for another six months. But I absolutely recommend this coaching group. I think it's one the best things out there for new coffee shops, old coffee shops, anyone looking to elevate their business to the next level. -Susannah Winters/ Hilton Head Coffee Roasters      For us looking back, I think we were at a point of growth that we needed to take the steps to grow, but we were wearing ourselves out and burnout was starting to set it.  I feel if we didn't reach out for help with Chris we would have greatly struggled. Both during the coaching and as a result of the coaching.  Working with KTTS consulting has been monumental for us as individuals and as a business.  We were able to get insight and confidence in areas that we felt like we were really struggling in. We took huge steps with hiring a manager and equipping them to help lead.  Chris' structure behind servant leadership really matched well with how we wanted to lead so it allowed a very cohesive development of our foundation for goals, foundations, requirements and leadership. I would HIGHLY recommend KTTS to anyone regardless if you are struggling for feeling as though you are on top of the world with your business. I feel that no matter where you are in your journey, there's always room for growth. I even believe a few years down the road and we are continuing to grow that we would do it again and learn to continue to keep growing in a healthy was as a business and staying healthy as entrepreneurs -Jessica Nguyễn Queen City and Co.     I made the decision to become a part of the Key Holder Coaching Group (KHCG) primarily to establish connections with other professionals who are actively engaged in the coffee business. I have found that through coaching I have been able to improve my productivity, streamlining my operations and have a healthier life/work balance. The most beneficial aspect of the KHCG has been getting the opportunity to explore topics from multiple perspectives. I have found that even If I am not in the "Hot Seat" I am gaining valuable information that is relative to my business in some way. KHCG has proven to be a safe space for me to be vulnerable, increase my self-worth and positively adjust my mindset to get the most out of the experience. As business owners, we are, without a doubt, our most valuable asset. Investing in ourselves, stepping outside of our patterns and opening up to fellow business professionals within our field will absolutely bring fresh perspectives to solve problems and reminders to celebrate wins. You do not have to do it all or do it all alone, KHCG will be a valuable ally on your journey to success. -Sunny Cover / Peekskill Coffee Roasting Company / The Peekskill Coffeehouse

From 'Take The North' (subscribe here): The focus up at Halas Hall has shifted to the Vikings, the Bears opponent in Week 2. Of course, Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote are still marveling at that 59-point explosion by the Bears offense against the Panthers. What more can we expect against the Vikings? It will be a different test, as Vikings defense coordinator Brian Flores has a tough scheme to diagnose. How is Bears head coach Ben Johnson preparing for that test? Also in this episode, Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner had interesting perspective about grading quarterbacks after Pro Football Focus didn't have the best grade for quarterback Caleb Williams' performance against Carolina.

I went from broke, addicted to drugs, and completely lost at 21 to becoming a husband, father, and eight-figure business owner. In this episode, I share the story of how I changed my life through fitness, took the risk of becoming an entrepreneur, built my business from the ground up, and learned to stop living based on other people's expectations. Most importantly, I break down why becoming authentically yourself can change the direction of your entire life.

Are traditional dating timelines officially broken? In this episode of The Romantic Truth, we dive deep into the fascinating world of "December-May" and reverse age-gap relationships—partnerships where an older woman is romantically involved with a younger man.While society is quick to slap outdated labels or double standards on couples who defy conventional scripts, psychological research tells a completely different story. Data shows that women in these partnerships actually report some of the highest levels of relationship satisfaction, commitment, and sexual self-efficacy.Why are more modern women embracing autonomy over social approval? What draws younger men to the emotional maturity, stability, and confidence of an older partner? And how do these couples successfully navigate everything from differing life stages to external judgment?Join us as we unpack the self-expansion model, dismantle the cultural stigma of the "cougar" myth, and explore how true relationship success comes down to genuine emotional alignment, mutual respect, and shared core values—not a number on a birthday cake.Tune in to discover why rewriting the rules of romance might just lead to the most fulfilling connection of your life.

Salesforce's cofounder essential questioned: why should you login to Salesforce anymore?

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers the late-summer transition along the Alabama Gulf Coast, from improving surf conditions and flounder on the beach to light-tackle billfishing, snook, tuna, amberjack, and bluewater live-bait tactics. Butch Thierry opens the show with Tony Emmons of South Alabama Surf Fishing, who reports cleaner water, more manageable mornings, improving beach action, and a growing mix of surf species as fall gets closer. Tony breaks down how he's targeting flounder from the beach with quarter-ounce jig heads, tandem rigs, new penny plastics, and long casts around the second sandbar, troughs, and points. He also talks through the return of pompano, whiting, black drum, redfish, bluefish, and other surf species, including when to fish close, when to fish behind the bar, how to read troughs and sandbar edges, and why fresh shrimp, Fishbites, small pyramid weights, and moving water can all matter. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle follows with an Orange Beach report covering light-tackle billfishing, gag grouper interest, blackfin tuna, mahi, wahoo, trout, redfish, snook, and inshore topwater fishing. Chris explains how he's using teasers, squid chains, dredges, pitch baits, and a light-hook spread for sailfish and other billfish, then shifts inshore to talk about snook tagging, larger snook sightings, high-current trout lights, topwaters, wake baits, grass lines, LY schools, and why bait movement is one of the biggest keys right now. Capt. King Marchand of Capt. Mike's Fishing closes the fishing reports with a deep offshore update from the Lady Ann, including a 209-pound yellowfin tuna, more quality tuna, live chumming, crazy fish, circle hooks, fluorocarbon leader, braid, FG knots, drag management, amberjack, snapper, and whale shark fishing. King explains how he finds catchable tuna in the water column, why bigger yellowfin may need more live chum to fire up, how leader size and bait behavior change the bite, and why live bait remains so important for both tuna and amberjack. The episode also includes a sponsor spotlight with Ultra Wash Mobile, covering drone washing, soft washing, Gulf Coast salt and mildew, commercial property cleaning, and how waterfront homes, condos, marinas, and businesses can better protect their exterior surfaces.

Nick Holzherr is originally from the Switzerland, but moved to UK when he was 7 years old, to the countryside. He had no real touch to computers until he was 18, when he attended university and everything picked up for him, tech wise. Eventually, he got into building businesses, and of those, he founded a coffee company, HR software company, and whisk.com, which was sold to Samsung in 2019. Outside of tech, he is the father to two young children. He enjoys skiing and snowboarding, and jokingly, he admits that running around ensuring his agents are prompted gets in the way of his family and hobby life. Through his entrepreneurial adventures, Nick spent large sums of money on legal contracts, ensuring that the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed. While he still feels that lawyers are very important and needed for certain scenarios, Nick wanted to create a way to level the playing field for small businesses, in the legal arena. This is the creation story of GitLaw. Linkshttps://git.law/https://nickholzherr.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickholzherr/ Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

Newbies host Kaile Garcia talks with certified health coach and author Britt Olson about how family dynamics change after having a baby, especially with two children 18 months apart. Britt shares moving from Florida to Georgia at eight months pregnant, laboring 33 hours, and experiencing postpartum isolation and later severe postpartum anxiety and depression with intrusive thoughts and panic attacks; she felt significant improvement after weaning. She describes the stress on her marriage when far from family, dividing nighttime duties by child, and the challenges of planned grandparent visits, unmet expectations, and boundary-setting when boundaries weren't respected, including examples around gifts and family trips. Britt emphasizes that hard phases and relationships can improve over time and offers nervous system calming techniques: grounding outdoors using the five senses and somatic shaking to discharge stress.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start with my this training: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Jenny Dietsch was the kid with papers flying out of her backpack, missing shoes, forgotten assignments, and parents asking, why can't you just get it together?Today, she runs a seven-figure professional organizing company. And weirdly enough, that makes perfect sense.Jenny is a certified professional organizer and the founder of Getting It Done Organizing, a seven-figure home organizing and move management company in Dallas.She was diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s after two of her three kids were diagnosed first. Suddenly, a lot of her own life made sense too. Her doctor saw the irony right away: Jenny had spent years building the systems she needed to function, then built an entire business around helping other people do the same.Then the business scaled, and some of the chaos she thought she had left behind came right back with it.In this episode, Jenny and Tracy talk about why structure can create more freedom for an ADHD brain, what happened when Jenny's growing business became too chaotic even for her, and how she rebuilt it using repeatable systems, workflows, and routines.If your life looks like chaos from the inside, this one is about what can change when you stop fighting your brain and start building around the way it actually works.Resources:  Website: https://gettingitdoneorganizing.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gettingitdoneorganizing LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/getting-it-done-organizing Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gettingitdoneorganizing Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:

What does it really mean to “keep your feet” when life tries to sweep you away? In this short Good Shift, Dr. JC Doornick explores the difference between experiencing adversity and letting it take control of your identity, direction, and response. Inspired by Bilbo Baggins' timeless warning about stepping onto the road and not knowing where you might be swept off to, Dr. JC asks a deeper question: What if keeping your feet has less to do with controlling what happens and more to do with changing how you perceive it? Through the lens of the Interface Response System—Perceive, Pause, Process, Proceed—this episode challenges you to recognize that fear, adversity, and uncertainty don't automatically get to decide what something means. You may not control what shows up at your door, but you can learn to remain grounded long enough to decide what gets invited in. Because sometimes the greatest skill in navigating a difficult road isn't knowing exactly where you're going. It's learning how to keep your feet.

Data center demand is booming, but the buildings are going obsolete faster than they can fill up. Michael Bull, CCIM digs into the numbers with Ermengarde Jabir, PhD, Director of Economic Research at Moody's Analytics. The US data center market is now 31 to 32 gigawatts of power, and power, not square footage, is the right way to size it. Ermengarde explains why a 50,000 square foot data center built 10 or 15 years ago might now need only 25,000 square feet to house the newer racks and servers, leaving half the building empty. She walks through the sector's cap rates, a competitive 4% to mid-5% range, the shrinking risk premium as the 10-year Treasury pushes past 4.6%, and who is actually building these now, from traditional developers to the big tech owner-operators alongside long-time REITs Digital Realty and Equinix. The conversation covers the data center types from co-location to hyperscale, why the shell is simple like an industrial warehouse but the interior build-out and cooling are where the cost lives, office-to-data-center conversions and the load-bearing floor test that makes or breaks them, the moratoriums and lost-tax-base math driving local approvals, and what the AI build-out really means for jobs. Ermengarde's bottom line on employment: not more or fewer jobs, but different jobs.

Fear of Being Seen: How to Stop Self-Consciousness from Holding Back Your God-Given Calling with Rachel EarpAre you letting the fear of being judged, looking awkward, or not having everything perfectly together keep you from stepping into your God-given calling?In this honest and empowering episode of She Will Flourish, Rachel Earp uncovers the hidden battle of self-consciousness that keeps so many women from showing up fully. Discover four practical strategies to shift your focus from yourself to service, release perfectionism, overcome the fear of man, and boldly walk in the purpose God has placed inside you.We rarely talk about self-consciousness as adult women because admitting it can make us feel weak, insecure, or unprepared. Instead, we disguise it as "waiting for the right time," "getting more prepared," or "making sure everything is perfect first."But self-consciousness can quietly become one of the biggest barriers between where you are and where God is calling you to go. When you step into a new season of leadership, ministry, business, or influence, the fear of being seen can show up as perfectionism—convincing you that you need to look polished, sound confident, and have everything figured out before you are qualified to show up.In this grounded and deeply encouraging conversation, host Rachel Earp pulls up a chair to unpack what happens when we become overly focused on how we look, sound, perform, or are perceived by others. Anchored in Proverbs 29:25 and 2 Corinthians 12:9, Rachel shares practical ways to dismantle the fear of man, stop obsessing over your perceived flaws, and redirect your attention toward the people you are called to serve.If you are ready to stop waiting until you feel confident enough, trade self-focus for faithful obedience, and stop allowing other people's opinions to determine whether you step into your calling, pull up a chair to the front porch. Your calling doesn't require perfection—it requires your willingness to say yes.Visit the Front Porch: Ready to stop letting self-consciousness, perfectionism, and the fear of judgment keep you hidden?

Shift your eyes from yourself to the people you're called to serve, trust God's grace to meet you in your weakness, and take the next faithful step.This episode is powered by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EARPware⁠⁠.⁠.

Neph 2 America is back with another round of cultural commentary, conspiracy discussion, viral internet chaos, and Biblical worldview analysis. In this episode, David Lee Corbo, aka The Raven, is joined by Nancy while Top Lobsta is away, and the conversation moves from the Gypsy Crusader fight to Candace Owens, MKUltra speculation, Milo Yiannopoulos, viral social media meltdowns, megachurch culture, and the coming polar shift.The show opens with a breakdown of the Gypsy Crusader fight, including his performance, post-fight speech, the reaction from the crowd, and the violence that broke out afterward.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson breaks down how the market is transitioning to a mid-cycle environment, with leadership shifting toward higher-quality, asset-light companies with durable earnings.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Mike Wilson: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing why inflation should not be a concern for equity investors.It's Tuesday, September 15th at 9 am in New York. So, let's get after it.The markets have spent the past few months doing far more work than what most casual observers might think. Since early June, the S&P 500 has chopped sideways, but underneath the surface leadership has changed materially. The early-cycle, capital-intensive winners are giving way to higher-quality companies with stronger free cash flow, better margins with more asset-light businesses. Software, Financial Services, Insurance, and Healthcare Services are beginning to show the earnings revision strength that Semiconductors and other cyclicals enjoyed earlier this year. To me, that is the market confirming an economy moving from early to mid-cycle.While many investors are debating yesterday's news, the market is already moving to new leadership. A good example of this is the inflation data that was released last week. The results were a bit higher than expected and elicited quite a reaction from the media and Fed watchers. However, the probability of a September interest rate hike has been rising for months and was close to 70% before the data were released. Now it's 95%. Equities have de-rated alongside that repricing in the bond market. In short, the inflation data may have been news to some, but it wasn't to Mr. Market.While some may view this as the Fed being behind the curve, the bond market has been expecting it for months and essentially doing the tightening for the Fed. Equity markets are well aware of this dynamic which is why valuations have fallen and the index has gone nowhere for the past few months. This is also classic mid cycle transition behavior—strong earnings growth is offset by falling valuations as the Fed starts to focus on its inflation mandate. In other words, the first hike does not mean “risk off.” However, it does reinforce the quality rotation and overall narrative we have been highlighting since June. And earnings are the reason. To remind regular listeners, the median Russell 3000 company is growing earnings in the mid-teens, the fastest since 2021; and revisions remain strong. That is the mid-cycle playbook to a T—earnings are doing the heavy lifting and the market is becoming more selective, not necessarily less constructive. More specifically, the market is demanding better cash conversion, stronger margins, and more durable growth.This is why the momentum unwind earlier this summer has been misunderstood. Some investors see it as nothing more than leverage coming out of crowded positions, but that really misses the bigger message. Semiconductors are a classic early cycle sector and it reached an extreme in earnings revisions breadth back in June. That was the fundamental trigger for the unwind, and the leverage just magnified it. The price momentum factor can recover, but the stocks and sectors that lead may look very different. That is usually how a healthy market adjusts: the baton gets passed before everyone realizes the race has changed.With regard to interest rates, I also think the mainstream explanation is incomplete. Many investors assume higher yields are simply a referendum on debt and deficits. I see stronger nominal growth as the more important driver. Nominal GDP is running close to 7% on a five-year average basis and has reaccelerated on capex incentives, compute demand, and higher velocity real economy. Equities are an inflation hedge when inflation reflects stronger revenue and earnings growth. Deflation—not inflation—is the real kryptonite for stocks.This does not mean we are completely out of the woods on the mid cycle transition that began in June. If oil continues to rise sharply from here, it will likely push interest rates higher and put pressure on growth, an unhealthy combination for stocks. This would likely lead to a 5-10% drawdown in the S&P 500 before the bull market can resume in earnest. The other risk is the midterm elections which historically have been a headwind for equities in the September and October time frame. Bottom line, the inflation data is old news. The rotation is not. We are transitioning to a mid-cycle market where earnings durability, free cash flow, operational efficiency, and quality matter more. Investors waiting for complete clarity from the Fed may miss the message already coming from the market: leadership has moved to higher quality, asset light companies. Don't fight it; embrace it. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review.

If you're doing six figures a year — maybe $100K, maybe $300K — and you feel like you've hit a wall... I need you to hear this: working harder is not going to get you to a million dollars. In fact, it's probably the exact thing keeping you stuck. I've coached hundreds of entrepreneurs through this exact ceiling, and every single time, it comes down to the same three things. Today I'm giving you all three — the exact shifts that take someone from grinding at $200K to running a part-time million-dollar business. Let's get into it.

Revenue climbs. So do the hours, the stress, and the number of decisions only you can make. Allison Maslan has built 10 companies and mentored over 150,000 founders, and she says the growth ceiling almost everyone hits isn't a revenue problem. It's them.Key Takeaways:Recognize the bottleneck pattern early. Founders keep trying to have their eyes on everything long after the business has grown past what one person can hold, and it quietly chokes growth instead of protecting it.Watch for delegation guilt, especially as a woman founder. The instinct to "get in the trenches" to prove you're working as hard as your team can actually block your team's own creativity and ownership.Shift from giving answers to asking questions. Replace "here's what to do" with "what would you do in this situation" to train your team to think for themselves instead of training them to think like you.Pick one scalable model and build the foundation first. Chasing every new scalable idea (shiny object syndrome) before the foundation is strong is what causes growth to collapse, not a lack of ambition.Name what AI could make irrelevant in your business within a year. Allison tells her own clients to identify the parts of their business AI could take over, and reinvent proactively instead of waiting to be disrupted.Allison has personally experienced the cost of not fixing this: she says she "nearly imploded personally, emotionally, and financially" from staying the bottleneck in an earlier business, before building the team-managed, scalable model that became her signature SCALEit Method and the foundation of Pinnacle Global Network.

She patched them up each time. And she felt powerless and unfulfilled. COVID accelerated the decision she had already been building toward. She left the ER, completed additional training in integrative medicine, obesity medicine, and health coaching. Then she built a fully virtual practice focused on prevention, weight management, and hormone therapy for menopausal women. In this episode, she walks through how she structured the transition, LLC formation, 1099 contracting, malpractice insurance, working with a healthcare attorney on Medicare opt-out, and building income from multiple sources, including medical writing and a med spa medical director role. Her practice, Living Well MD, is licensed in five states. Show notes and links can be found at nonclinicalphysicians.com/promoting-health/.

The episode reveals a structural transfer of forecasting and adoption risk from AI vendors to managed service providers (MSPs) and IT service organizations. Five companies—CyberFOX, Intezer, Sophos, Flamingo, and Charles IT—have taken distinct strategies to expand AI capabilities within the channel, underscoring a coordinated attempt to shift the uncertainty of AI demand, usage, and revenue forecasting off vendors' balance sheets and onto service providers.A central data point comes from Gartner's survey of over 1,300 technology leaders at companies above $50 million in revenue: fewer than one in four have successfully scaled an AI project across business units, even as 85% plan to increase AI investment and many cannot quantify current spending. Analysts note a move away from flat-rate subscriptions toward usage-based AI pricing, significantly increasing projected IT costs through 2035 for customers. The episode highlights that vendors are pre-building AI channel programs with the expectation that third-party providers will absorb both commitment risk and customer deployment burdens.Supporting evidence includes announcement details: CyberFOX's new North American deal with Ingram Micro, Intezer's launch of a comprehensive partner portal, Sophos's OpenAI integration targeting MSPs, Flamingo's open-source AI agent platform, and Charles IT's acquisition of Descent, an AI-native MSP. Spending data from Ramp and adoption surveys from the Census Bureau and Futurum Group further illustrate the gap between stated AI success and actual operational adoption, elucidating systemic uncertainty and reporting bias in AI project returns.For MSPs and IT leaders, the implications are clear: the structural shift means channel programs increasingly pass fixed commitments and usage volatility to service firms while providing little guaranteed demand. Practical safeguards include independently counting and verifying clients with active, process-integrated AI adoption before entering distribution contracts. Defining specific, outcome-focused criteria for adoption can protect against being tied to overambitious vendor forecasts, allowing providers to negotiate terms on verifiable demand rather than projections that vendors themselves could not convert.00:00 Everyone Is Selling To You 03:41 The Forecast That Didn't Convert06:29 Nobody Can Prove The Demand09:38 Why Do We Care?Supported by: GoTo(LogMeIn) Pax8

You’ve chosen the school you believe is best for your child. There’s just one problem. They absolutely refuse to go. When an 11-year-old is threatening to cut up his uniform and stay home rather than attend the high school his parents have chosen, pushing harder is unlikely to help. Justin and Kylie explain why force creates resistance, what might really be underneath a child’s refusal, and how to have the conversation that could change everything. KEY POINTS Why trying to convince your child you’re right can make them dig in harder The three needs driving your child’s response: connection, competence and autonomy Why feeling heard needs to come before problem-solving How to listen without adding your own interpretation Why writing your child’s concerns down can take the heat out of the conversation How to explain your reasons once your child knows you understand theirs Using trial days and agreed expectations to move forward Why the school that looks best on paper may not be the school where your child thrives QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Force creates resistance. The harder you push, the harder your kids push back.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Self-Determination Theory Basic Psychological Need Theory Autonomy-supportive parenting ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stop trying to win the argument. Shift the goal from convincing your child to understanding them. Ask what you’re missing. Give them space to explain every concern without correcting or defending. Write it down. Take their concerns seriously enough to make notes, then repeat them back without adding your interpretation. Wait for the “yes, you get it”. If they’re still correcting you, keep listening. Explain your why. Once they feel understood, share the two or three reasons behind your preferred school. Look for a workable next step. Consider an experience day, trial period or clear agreement about what giving the school a genuine chance will look like. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Women Leaders Psychological Safety: How Kerry Siggins Turned "You're Erratic" Into Her Best Leadership Lesson Last updated: September 3, 2026 Trusted by leaders at Stanford University, Ernst & Young, Autodesk, MGM Grand Resorts, and Farmers Insurance Executive Summary: The word that stung most in StoneAge CEO Kerry Siggins' toughest feedback moment was the word that was true. Here's her litmus test for real feedback, how she builds psychological safety without losing accountability, and how women leaders navigate the double bind. Quick Takeaways: If feedback "stings," there's probably truth in it worth examining Psychological safety and accountability aren't opposites — done right, they build each other The double bind is real: women who are direct risk being called aggressive Influence matters more than being right — and it changes how feedback lands U.S. employee engagement hit a decade-low of 31% in early 2026 Jump to:The Feedback Story · Spotting Valid Feedback ·Safety vs. Accountability · The Double Bind ·Action Plan · FAQ As an executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) working with Fortune 50–1000 companies, I've watched brilliant women leaders freeze in two different ways: some can't tell which feedback to take seriously and which to release, and others have been burned so badly by being called "too direct" that they've gone quiet. Both patterns erode psychological safety — theirs, and their team's. This is Part Two of my conversation with Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge and author of Talk With Trust: How to Own Feedback, Spark Growth, and Build Stronger Teams. In Part One, we walked through her SHARES framework for difficult conversations. Here, we go deeper into the moment that started it all — the day a trusted colleague told her she was "erratic" — and what she's learned since about telling real feedback from noise, building psychological safety without losing accountability, and the double bind that so many women leaders still navigate every day. The Feedback That Almost Cost Kerry Siggins Her COO — And Changed Her Leadership Kerry had spent a year having what she thought were deep, honest conversations with her COO. Then, in a discussion about his role and growth path, it came out all at once: "You think you're this inspiring CEO who disrupts the industry, but really what you are is erratic, and you're really hard to work for. You're the problem." Kerry's first instinct was to fire him. She paused instead — because, as she told me, "I don't want to react in the moment." That pause is the whole story. Kerry went home, sat with the feedback, and asked herself a simple question: what's true about this? She landed on one word — erratic — and traced it back to something real: her fast pace and love of new ideas could look, from the outside, like constant direction-changing. She decided, in that moment, to become a "cool, calm, and collected, unflappable leader." It changed how she led. It also cost her the relationship — the way the feedback was delivered damaged the trust between them beyond repair, and her COO eventually left the company. Both things were true at once: the feedback was a gift, and the delivery broke something. That tension is exactly why psychological safety matters — not as comfort, but as the structure that lets hard truths get said before they explode. How to Tell Valid Feedback From Noise Kerry's litmus test is disarmingly simple: if it stings, there's probably some truth to it. She described being called "disingenuous" by someone recently and letting it go completely — because it didn't sting. She knows who she is on that dimension. But "erratic" stung, because some part of her recognized it. That sting is data. The follow-up question matters just as much: is this feedback about who I am, or about someone else's perception and unmet need? "Just because something hits your identity," Kerry said, "doesn't mean that person is right or wrong — it just means they're seeing things differently." Her advice for women leaders receiving feedback that challenges their identity: get curious, ask for examples, and then decide. "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be accurate?" Accuracy requires asking questions. Being right just requires defending your position. She also named something every leader has lived: most of what reaches you has already been filtered. The brain can only process a tiny fraction of available information, and the person giving you feedback is filtering it further through their own fear of your reaction. The fix is direct: ask "what are you not saying right now?" and genuinely invite the rest. Psychological Safety vs. Accountability: Why They're Not Opposites Most leaders treat psychological safety and accountability as a tradeoff — soft versus firm, safe versus serious. Kerry rejects that framing entirely. "There can be accountability in how you're addressing any kind of challenge through dialogue," she said. Her practice: after a hard conversation, put recurring check-ins on the calendar — not as a punishment, but as a standing space to talk about progress, struggles, and wins. "My manager really cares about me" and "I'm being held accountable" become the same sentence, not opposite ones. Accountability only becomes destructive to psychological safety when it's used as a weapon instead of a rhythm. This is the same territory I mapped out recently in a LinkedIn post on the three pillars of trust — and two of them apply directly here. Trust isn't built in one big moment. It's built in the small moments people learn they can count on you. — Sabrina Braham, MA, MFT, PCC Authenticity breaks when a leader hides a mistake to protect their image instead of admitting when they're wrong — exactly what Kerry avoided by sitting with "erratic" instead of dismissing it. And reliability breaks when accountability only shows up when something goes wrong instead of on a consistent rhythm — which is precisely why Kerry's recurring check-ins work: the consistency itself is what makes accountability feel like care instead of a threat. The Double Bind: When Direct Reads as Aggressive I asked Kerry directly: women leaders often face a double bind — direct enough to be respected reads as aggressive; warm enough to be liked reads as weak. How do you navigate it? Her answer came from experience: a fellow board member once told her, in front of a long-time customer, that she was "aggressive" and an "overachiever" — framed as a flaw. "There's no way he would have ever said that to a man," she said. This isn't just anecdote. New 2026 research out of INSEAD confirms the bind is still fully intact: promotion-focused language — bold, action-oriented, opportunity-framed — tends to clash with gendered expectations for women leaders, while prevention-focused, risk-aware language can reinforce perceptions of low competence, a tension that gets sharper under crisis or high pressure. Separate research on women serving as corporate board directors found something even more troubling: the constant work of switching between "warmth" tactics and "competence" tactics to avoid backlash is itself a driver of the disproportionate burnout many women in leadership report — the double bind isn't just unfair, it's exhausting in a measurable way. Kerry's shift wasn't to soften herself — it was to change what she was optimizing for. "I changed my perspective: do I want to be right, or do I want to influence?" When someone in a meeting takes her idea and repeats it as their own, she no longer takes it personally. "That's a great idea, let's build on that" gets her further than proving the idea was hers first. Influence, not being right, became her north star — and it's a reframe available to any woman leader caught in the double bind. You don't have to shrink to be trusted.

Ask: is this something I need to work on, or a relationship I need to manage? (5 minutes) Identify one relationship where you suspect you're only getting filtered information. Plan to ask directly: "What are you not telling me?" (20 minutes) Put one recurring check-in on the calendar with a direct report — framed around progress and support, not correction. (This week) Bring one piece of feedback to your own team: "I'm working on X, and I'd love one honest thing I could do better." Modeling receptivity is the fastest way to build a feedback culture. (Ongoing) The next time you're told you're "too direct," ask for a specific example before deciding whether to change anything. Success metric: you leave with clarity, not just a feeling. Common Mistakes Leaders Make With Feedback and Safety Treating every sting as truth. Not all feedback that hurts is accurate — some reflects the other person's ego or fear, not your reality. Examine it before you internalize it. Defending instead of asking. Over-explaining your intentions in the moment shuts down the other person's willingness to keep talking, even if it doesn't feel defensive to you. Using accountability as punishment. If check-ins only happen when something goes wrong, people stop seeing them as safe — and stop bringing you the truth early. Softening yourself to avoid the double bind. Shrinking your directness doesn't resolve the bind — it just trades one cost for another, and the research suggests the constant self-regulation itself carries a burnout cost. Shift toward influence instead of retreat. Reading body language as neutral....

If you want to build an interior design business that is profitable, scalable, and capable of supporting the life you actually want, your pricing strategy has to do more than cover your time. In this episode of Design Business Freedom, I'm breaking down how interior designers can move beyond hourly pricing, intentionally design profit into their business, and confidently charge for the transformation they create. Knowing your value and charging for it are two very different skills, which is why pricing is the second pillar of the Profitable Studio Framework. You'll learn why hourly billing penalizes expertise, how flat-fee pricing supports scalable profit, which numbers matter most inside your design firm, and how the language you use around money can dramatically influence what clients are willing to invest. In This Episode You Will Learn: Understand why hourly pricing can penalize experienced interior designers for becoming faster and more efficient. Shift from charging for time to pricing for the transformation, long-term value, and client outcome you deliver. Calculate the annual revenue, owner compensation, overhead, and profit your interior design business needs to produce. Track profit per project and average project value so your Design Business Freedom strategy is based on profitability instead of project volume. Use more confident money language with prospects so interior designers can protect their fees, position their expertise, and attract better-fit clients. While one word can truly grow your profits, mastering more will lead to a full business and personal transformation. Get them all in my book "The Language of Success: 35 Words to Boost Your Worth and Wealth". You'll be pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of these word swaps and the increased confidence you'll feel in business and life.

Hourly billing has a ceiling, while the value and transformation an experienced designer delivers can continue to increase. Profitable interior design businesses track profit per project and average project value, not simply revenue or how many projects are on the books. The language interior designers use around investment, value, and discovery can strengthen positioning and protect profitability before the contract is ever signed.
