“We don't need to work on decoding because students have access to assistive technology and accommodations.”“We don't work on word-decoding in high school.”“Working on reading in high school is too little too late.”If you've ever heard any of these arguments, you're not alone. Unfortunately, beliefs like these do students a huge disservice. That's why in this conversation, I share a clip from my interview with Tom Parton, an SLP with a long-career of experience in secondary education, as well as literacy advocacy work. Tom Parton is a private Speech Language Pathologist in Normal, Illinois. He retired after 35 years of public-school practice. Tom is President of Everyone Reading Illinois and is a member of ERI's Legislative Committee. Tom has presented on autism and language/literacy topics at local, state, and national conferences. Tom participated in the ISBE Reading Instruction Advisory Group and Teachers of Reading Certification task forces. He is currently a member of the ISBE Dyslexia Handbook revision team. He is past-president of the Illinois Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is ISHA Honors Committee co-chair and a member of ISHA's Leadership Development Committee. Tom is the 2024 chair of the American Speech Language Hearing Association Committee of Ambassadors.In my commentary and the clip from the interview, you'll hear discussion on:✅ Why providing access to technology alone won't solve access issues if kids lack adequate reading and spelling skills. ✅ Why accommodations and modifications aren't a substitute for reading instruction, even in secondary school. ✅ The impact of word-decoding on activities of daily living. If you're serving students in secondary school, you won't want to miss this episode.

Episode OverviewSometimes the most remarkable leaders don't arrive at the top by climbing a neatly planned ladder, they stumble, pivot, and rebuild along winding roads. In this deeply personal and unexpectedly funny episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra welcomes Julie Peck, a transformative CEO whose story proves that a “curvy path” is not a flaw, it's a strength.Julie's life didn't begin with obvious momentum. She grew up in a household that didn't talk about feelings, in the shadow of a brilliant but stoic father and amid early self-doubt that left her with little sense of self-worth. By her twenties, she found herself adrift, unhappy, financially unstable, stuck in unfulfilling relationships, and ultimately failing out of college. She ended up living in a crumbling apartment above a record store, sleeping on a mattress she salvaged from a frat house dumpster. From the outside, it looked like failure; from the inside, it felt like rock bottom.But Julie didn't stay there. In this conversation, she shares the turning points that changed her trajectory: discovering the courage to face old wounds through therapy and 12-step recovery, deciding to rebuild her education while working full-time, and learning to measure her worth by more than just professional success. Along the way, she tapped into something profound, the ability to take one small action forward even when the long-term plan is unclear.That perseverance reshaped her career. Julie went from customer service to HR innovator to creative director, learning to package her “pile of skills and behaviors” into new opportunities. She took smart risks, like organizing a union drive not to win but to force leadership to listen — and watched those risks lead to promotions and purpose. Ultimately, she rose into C-suite leadership and CEO roles, scaling tech companies, driving triple-digit growth, and building cultures where people thrive. But she never forgot the messy middle or the tools that helped her climb out.Together, Chris and Julie go far beyond résumés and revenue. They unpack what resilience really looks like: the gritty inner work of building self-worth when no one hands it to you, the power of visualizing a future even if you don't know how to get there, and the discipline of balancing the things you must do, should do, and want to do. They talk about how gratitude rewires imposter syndrome, how thanking those who invest in you is a way of saying, “I believe your belief in me.” They explore why everyone — even highly accomplished leaders — is “winging it” every day, and why that's not weakness but reality.For anyone navigating uncertainty, Julie's journey is a masterclass in turning pain into purpose and mistakes into momentum. It's a reminder that your story doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful, in fact, the curve is where character is forged.This episode is a warm invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters: your own worth, the people who've lifted you along the way, and the belief that no setback is final. Whether you're rebuilding after a career stumble, leading through change, or simply searching for hope in a hard season, Julie's voice will feel like a steady hand on your shoulder.Stay tuned for part two, where Chris and Julie will dive deeper into leadership in the age of AI, the behaviors that outlast fast-changing technical skills, and how curiosity and gratitude shape the future of work.10 Standout Quotes“I had to organically discover my own self-worth. That's been a 35-year journey, and I'm not done.” — Julie Peck “Everybody is unqualified for whatever is going to come on this day because they've never had this day before. We're all winging it.” — Julie Peck “Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, even in the hardest seasons, you're good at something. Start there.” — Julie Peck “Imposter syndrome is basically telling the people who invested in you: ‘I don't trust your judgment.' Gratitude flips that script.” — Chris Schembra “The impediment to action advances action; what stands in the way becomes the way.” — Marcus Aurelius (quoted by Chris) “Progress comes from movement, not perfection. Just take one small step forward.” — Chris Schembra “The curvy path is a gift, because every detour teaches you something you'll need later.” — Julie Peck “Skills expire faster than ever; behaviors like curiosity, resilience, and asking better questions endure.” — Chris Schembra “Boundaries are self-worth in action. Saying no is a complete sentence.” — Julie Peck “Connection is the opposite of feeling alone in the world, and it's built one honest conversation at a time.” — Julie Peck 10 Key TakeawaysThe “Curvy Path” Is Normal: Career and life rarely follow a straight line; detours and setbacks are often where resilience is forged. Self-Worth Can Be Built: Therapy, reflection, and courageous action help rewire old narratives of “not enough.” Everyone Feels Like an Imposter: High achievers quietly doubt themselves — knowing this is freeing and normalizing. Gratitude Combats Self-Doubt: Thanking those who invest in you reframes fear and reinforces your value. Skills Fade — Behaviors Last: Curiosity, learning agility, and empathy outlast technical know-how in an AI-driven workplace. Visualize the Long Game: Thinking 15–20 years ahead helps shape better short-term decisions and career pivots. Boundaries Are Essential: Healthy limits protect time, energy, and self-worth, enabling sustainable success. Use Work as a Launchpad, Not an Escape: Achievements can build confidence but shouldn't mask personal growth gaps. Take Brave Micro-Steps: Big change starts with one small action; movement matters more than perfection. Connection Breaks Isolation: Vulnerable storytelling, mentorship, and shared humanity turn loneliness into belonging.

Send us a text by clicking this link!The cavalry isn't coming—and that's not a doomsday slogan, it's the lived reality in towns cutting police hours and cities where 911 stalls. We take that uncomfortable truth and turn it into a plan: how to build a small, Catholic mutual assistance group that actually holds under stress. No cosplay, no fantasy—just clear roles, shared skills, and a prayer life that anchors everything.We start by puncturing the lone-wolf myth and mapping the real constraints: unpredictable platform rules around firearms, DAs who change the stakes by zip code, and emergency services that prioritize institutions over families. From there we get practical. Family buy-in comes first and it's won with everyday examples—water when mains break, heat when the grid falters, first aid when minutes matter. Then we go find people where seriousness congregates: USPSA and IDPA matches, ham radio clubs, CERT and volunteer rescue, 4-H, homestead circles, and Knights of Columbus councils ready for renewal. Skills beat swagger—medics, electricians, welders, growers, and comms nerds are the backbone; rifles are the tip of a much larger spear.Leadership gets one chair. We outline a lean structure, redundancy across roles, simple comms plans, on-paper inventories, and an intel habit that shrinks the fog of war. We keep it legal and layered—cookouts before carbine days, no shortcuts, no stunts. Spiritual life isn't a bolt-on; we pray the Rosary, read, and keep Sundays, because order in the soul builds order in the street. On gear and training, we favor standardization, sustainable ammo budgets, and drills that sharpen judgment over ego. Fitness becomes logistics you wear: walking, rucking, lifting—the quiet work that lets fathers carry children upstairs when it counts.If you've wondered how to move from anxiety to action, this conversation is your blueprint.

Have you ever walked into a room of women and—no matter how confident you are in your life—felt that old whisper of Will I belong here? Will they like me? In today's episode, I'm diving into something deeply personal and universal: the Sister Wound. From middle school cliques, to moments even now as a business owner, I've seen how this wound still lingers—shaping how we connect, how we show up, and sometimes even holding us back from the deep sisterhood we long for. Whether it shows up as comparison, jealousy, fear of rejection, or distrust, the Sister Wound has roots in how women have been pitted against each other for generations. And if you're a coach, healer, or facilitator, it's vital to recognize how this dynamic might be playing out in the groups you lead. Because when you learn how to create safety, belonging, and true sisterhood, your circles become profoundly transformational spaces. In this episode, you'll hear about: My own journey from longing to be part of the “clique” to finding belonging in authentic, soulful friendships—and how the wound still whispers sometimes. The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways the Sister Wound can show up inside of groups and communities. Why being aware of this dynamic is essential for facilitators who want to hold spaces of deep trust, openness, and vulnerability. Skills and energetic shifts that help you build true sisterhood in your circles, so participants feel safe, welcomed, and fully engaged. How doing your own healing around sisterhood is the key to leading powerful, connected groups. This conversation is about reclaiming sisterhood as a source of strength, belonging, and transformation. If you lead groups of women (or want to), you'll come away with both insight and inspiration for creating communities where everyone feels they truly belong.

We have been discussing skills for so long that there is a temptation to dismiss anything skills-based as just another set of buzzwords. However, if anything, we aren't talking about skills enough and certainly not in the holistic way we need to be. Forward-thinking companies are already using skills-based approaches to solve critical business problems. These aren't abstract HR initiatives but data-driven transformations directly tied to revenue and operational outcomes. AI is helping to deconstruct jobs into tasks, map skills with precision, and deploy talent with unprecedented flexibility. So how are organizations making this transformation, and what does this mean for talent acquisition's role in driving business strategy? My guest this week is Craig Friedman, Talent Skills Transformation Leader at St. Charles Consulting Group and author of the book "Enterprise Skills Unlocked,". In our conversation, he shares how skills-based organizations are solving real business challenges and fundamentally changing how HR and talent acquisition deliver value. In the interview, we discuss: Definitions and drivers Moving from skills curious to skills ready A data-driven HR Transformation Building more effective talent processes by linking skills to people The workforce planning revolution Moving from headcount planning to capability planning True talent intelligence The role of AI Driving mobility and opening up talent markets Aligning HR and TA to business outcomes and strategy Getting started What the future will look like Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Two of my favorite things in the world—De La Soul and God's Word—came together today with the same exact message: check your ego.The song Ego Trippin by De La Soul might not make perfect lyrical sense, but it hits in the soul. Why? Because their music always carried this deeper truth: stop trying to be something you're not, and just own your style. That same theme runs straight through Proverbs 27, which shows us step by step how to keep our ego in check and live with humility, gratitude, and wisdom.In this episode, we unpack how:Insecurity fuels ego, ego invites pride, and pride leads to the fallThird-party validation is far more powerful than self-praiseGood friends sharpen you and bring great returnsWisdom creates wealth, but wealth can't create wisdomHard work brings reward, but chasing reward only leaves you emptyA calm heart is the key to weathering adversityInvesting in relationships always pays the best dividendsHere's the VIBE: God never uses His Word to indict us, but to equip us with tools to avoid the inevitable pain that comes with pride. Both hip hop and scripture delivered the same reminder today—stop ego trippin.Because the VIBE is not just what you bring into the room… it's how people feel when you leave.So here's the question: Where has your ego been tripping you up, and how can Proverbs 27 guide you back to humility and wisdom this week?––––––This Episode Is Brought To You By…

Want to get better at photography faster? Stop waiting for inspiration and start training like an athlete. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I sit down with street photographer Ryan Faer, who uses his background in professional baseball as an athletic trainer to show how discipline, repetition, and practice can transform the way you shoot. We explore how applying an athlete's mindset to photography can help you sharpen your skills, stay consistent, and see improvement over time. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why “reps” matter – putting in the shots makes you quicker to recognize and capture moments. How to schedule practice time – building a routine instead of waiting for free time. Designing photo “drills” – focusing on specific skills like light, framing, or using one lens. Reviewing your own footage – analyzing your images to identify strengths and weaknesses. The power of consistency – why steady effort beats perfection every time. If you've ever felt stuck in your photography or wondered how to push yourself forward, this episode will give you a practical framework to grow - one rep at a time. Listen now and discover how a training system designed for athletes can help you become a stronger photographer.

Over three years after her first appearance (Episode 18), Kim Bryan returns to the Talent Intelligence Collective podcast to discuss her evolution from leading a global TI team of 120 at its peak to launching AMS's Research Lab. In this wide-ranging conversation, Kim shares insights from analysing around 400,000 hiring records spanning just under 100 countries from 2020 to 2025 and reveals what's really driving offer declines (spoiler: it's not always about money).What We CoverAI & Employment - Examining Stanford's "Canaries in the Coal Mine" study and why the "AI is replacing entry-level workers" narrative might be correlation, not causation. The real impact on software development and customer support roles, and why businesses still don't understand where to apply AI effectively.ONS Labour Force Survey Crisis - UK response rates dropped from under 50% in 2016 to around 20% now, whilst the US maintains 68%. Critical national decisions are being made on inadequate data due to funding and skills mismatches.Evolution of TI at AMS - How talent intelligence moved from "add-on service" to embedded across all client work. The shift to self-service models, introduction of Insights and Intelligence Partners, and the ongoing data literacy challenge.Offer Declines Research - Key findings: 15% increase in time-to-hire when offers are declined. Compensation wasn't the dominant reason—personal factors, hiring process issues, and flexibility matter more than expected. Sales roles showed highest volatility; project management roles surprisingly volatile due to change management demand. The critical finding: recruiter-candidate relationships matter more than process automation.Education Revolution - Oxford research showing AI sector prioritises skills over formal education. Why universities haven't fundamentally changed since post-Industrial Revolution, and the return of apprenticeships and practical training.Key Quote"Despite all of the tech advances and all of the different strategies you can apply, the biggest difference that you can make to your process is still through your people. Post-offer engagement can be the difference between an offer being accepted and being declined."Practical Tips for TA LeadersGive Yourself Creative Space - Stop firefighting long enough to actually plan aheadInvest in Your People - Find time to develop your team, not just extract from themFind Something Outside Work - Your professional performance depends on your personal wellbeingComing from AMS Research LabThe Great Flattening (declining management layers)Skills mismatch: Are universities preparing students for tomorrow's jobs?

She's been with AMS for nearly 10 years in this stint (and worked there previously too, making it nearly two decades total). She previously looked after talent intelligence for AMS and managed a global team of 120 at its peak.

Ever feel like everything is spiraling out of control? Maybe you're running late, snapping at others, or watching a small setback feel like a catastrophe. These intense moments don't just come from what's happening on the surface; they're amplified by short-term stress that hijacks your perspective and makes you lose sight of what actually matters. In this episode, I share a simple technique built around the phrase "at the end of the day" to help you pause and recalibrate when life feels overwhelming. You'll learn how to interrupt the stress spiral, notice when you're caught up in tension, and ask targeted questions that allow you to make decisions from a place of clarity rather than crisis.
