Podcasts about Speak up

I'm exploring the connection between self-advocacy and self-silencing as I head into a break because I'm experiencing burnout myself, which feels perfectly timed for this topic. I challenge you to think about how we constantly tell our kids to advocate for themselves while we struggle to do the same, often because we've been conditioned to believe that self-advocacy is selfish when we're supposed to be sensitive to others' needs. I want you to examine where you've been self-silencing - avoiding conflict, neglecting your intuition, or not sharing your desires - and ask yourself what you'd tell a friend in your same situation, because awareness is the catalyst for change and nothing will shift if we keep putting everyone else's needs before our own.

Youth from across the province put agriculture front and centre at the Youth Agriculture Speaking Championships, put on by the Calgary Stampede in partnership with the Alberta Young Speakers for Agriculture. The youth were competing for $15,000 in prizes as well as money to travel to Toronto to compete in the Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture Finals at the Royal Winter Fair in November. The competitors delivered speeches on one of five agri-tech and agri-food related topics that were five to seven minutes in length. The preliminary competition was held at Olds College and Stampede Park on July 11. The top five from the Junior and Senior divisions were selected to participate in the final on July 12th at the Calgary Stampede.  

Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundWelcome to another episode of Speak Up - Effective communication.The show on the Aftermarket Radio Network focusing our attention on our communication and leadership skills - In our episode today…How we talk about money.If I think back to the earliest time of my career as a service advisor - my closing interactions with clients on occasion, felt somewhat awkward when taking payment. It wasn't awkward because the business component of the job is wrong or weird - it wasn't awkward because I felt sorry for them due to the cost of transmission work (I did feel sorry for folks) - It was awkward because when you're having a great conversation shifting into talk about money is sometimes, really stupidly awkward! That's OK.But sometimes - we make it even MORE awkward by not communicating well around the way payments for services can occurs. That is why in today's episode - we're talking about how we talk about money.ParsimoniousWOTDWe're back - and the WOTD is ParsimoniousIt not only an adjective.It's a euphemism for someone who is cheap!It means!unwilling to spend money or use resources; stingy or frugal.It's a good word for my topic today.Because some of you are really parsimonious… particularly when it comes to credit card processing fees! OK - processing fees are a thing I feel like every business owner agrees on universally.They suck. There are a few extreme reactions I see to this that are a little alarming. I'll list three - and then you'll see why I feel this topic was worth bringing to Speak Up as communication is once again the solution. Though now I am thinking I should have also called in my friend Hunt Demerest from “Business by the Numbers! Next time! Totally in his turf here.One Extreme - a number of shops will argue its just a cost of doing business - so they just eat the cost and go about business. (some will just build it into their pricing and be done with it.)But since processing fees can amount to tens of thousands of dollars in lost profits each year. Those numbers should end the argument that “it's just a cost of doing business.”Plus - if you're in a market that is more… parsimonious… you may find competition makes this more challenging- no matter how great you are.I think it's a cost you can do something about - and we'll explain how in a moment.Another extreme: “No we don't...

Here The Beckie's chat together about what children really need from the adults in their lives, we explore what it means to be an advocate for children and why this really matters. Why do children need advocates?  What is the role of all educators for children of all ages?  What does this look like in everyday practice, how are children seen and heard ?We discover how to really observe and understand what the children are communicating. Open communications are based on how we feel and what we see,  use your power for good to ensure all children and adults are supported, can thrive and feel safe to learn. The child should always be at the centre of their curriculum and their ideas should lead it. We look at challenging the status quo, advocating for yourself and for the children. It is important to speak up and speak out professionally.  If you are in a family with children you also have the ability to advocate. After all, it's not every career that is key to developing brains for now and for the future, so we must take our role seriously and keep researching and advocating every day. Want to chat, connect, work with us or run something by us, then head to Rebecca@thrivinglanguage.co.uk and email us. Thank you for listening and being part of this amazing community.Love The Beckies  Head to www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk to discover more with The Beckies.Training for educators, key note speakers and workshops, one to one sessions for speech language and communication play sessions for children and families.Publications Routledge:Speech Language and Communication in the Early YearsSpeech Language and Communication for Healthy Little MindsEmail Rebecca@thrivinglanguage.co.ukThank you for listening and being part of this awesome Thriving community who empower all children to be understood.

Send us a textWelcome back to Is It Me or Is It Them? After a short break, I'm so glad to be back with you—and today, we're diving into something that comes up all the time in relationships: the fear of speaking up.You might think the problem is that you don't know how to say it. But what if the real issue is that you don't think you're allowed to?In this episode, we'll explore:Why many people struggle to voice their needs, even when the words are right thereThe cultural and relational conditioning that makes speaking up feel unsafeHow guilt, shame, and people-pleasing silence us—and what that silence costsA mindset shift that can help you speak with more clarity, confidence, and careWhat to ask yourself when you're stuck between honesty and harmonyWhether you're dealing with in-laws, a disconnected partner, or a moment where your heart is screaming to say something but your mouth won't move—this conversation will help you start untangling the inner blocks to speaking your truth.Mentioned in this episode:My break from the podcast and why honouring your own season mattersThe importance of knowing your intentions before having a hard conversationWhat it looks like to be direct and kind (at the same time)If this episode resonates, I'd be so grateful if you'd leave a review or share it with a friend.

You've been feeling it too, haven't you? That sense that something is deeply wrong with our mental health system.Maybe you've drafted posts about impossible caseloads or regulations that harm more than they help.But every time you go to hit publish, you stop. What if this gets back to my employer? What if speaking up puts everything at risk?Two weeks ago, I stopped asking "what if" and found out exactly what happens when a therapist refuses to stay quiet. I got banned from LinkedIn. Twice. Not for being unprofessional—but for telling the truth about a system that's failing us.This episode isn't about my LinkedIn drama. It's about the choice every therapist faces: stay safe and silent, or speak up and face the consequences.In this episode, I share:The exact post that got me banned (and why 200,000 people resonated with it)What happened when I tried to appeal—and why creating a new account got me banned again within hoursThe real reason this isn't about platform policies or community guidelinesHow David Dinca's NDIS post made national news and what it reveals about systematic silencingDr. Nat Green's courageous stand on medical gaslighting and complaint systems that retraumatizeWhy my neurodivergent brain responded to being told "you can't" by getting louder, not quieterThe 45 minutes I considered making myself smaller—and what pulled me backWhat resistance with integrity looks like when the system punishes reformWhy this moment clarified rather than crushed my missionBottom Line: The mental health system will not reform itself. Permission to speak up isn't coming. The cost of waiting for someone else to fix what's broken is too high—for us and for those who need our help.

Consider following the family's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KaylahHunterandKristianJustice/ Also, please consider sharing the childrens' flyers: https://www.missingkids.org/poster/NCMC/1233401/2 On May 24, 2014, 27-year-old Alicia Fox attended a family gathering in Detroit with her two children, six-year-old Kaylah Hunter and eight-month-old Kristian Justice. It was the last time anyone saw Alicia alive. Around two weeks later, her body was found wrapped in blankets in the basement of an abandoned house. She'd been shot multiple times. Alicia's husband, Erin Justice, was quickly identified as the killer. But when police went to arrest him, he didn't have the children and he claimed he had no idea what happened to them. It's been more than 11 years since Erin was arrested, and Kaylah and Kristian still haven't been found. But Alicia's family believes they're out there somewhere—and they won't stop searching until they're home. Alicia Fox was last seen on May 24, 2014 in Detroit. She was later found shot multiple times in the basement of an abandoned home. Alicia's children—six-year-old Kaylah Hunter and eight-month-old Kristian Justice—were last seen alive on May 26 by Erin's friend, Timothy Jones, at the family home on Ardmore Street. At the time, Erin had been seen driving a U-Haul and a 2004 burgundy Chevrolet Impala. Today, if they are still out there, Kaylah would be 17 years old and Kristian would be 11. When Kaylah went missing, she was six years old, 4 feet 5 inches tall, and 65 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Kristian was eight months old, between 22 and 26 inches tall, weighing between 17 and 20 pounds. He had black curly hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about Kaylah and Kristian is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP or visit 1800speakup.org. A reward is available.

How do I talk to others about Jesus?

This episode is about music — but also about something deeper: identity, belonging, and being seen. I sat down with Danny Hajjar, a brilliant music journalist and the Editor-in-Chief of Rolling Stone MENA, who's been amplifying the voices of Arab artists across the Middle East, North Africa, and the global diaspora. He's written for The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and GQ Middle East, and is the co-host the Shik Shak Shook Ones podcast on the Afikra network. We talk about the rise of Arabic music, what it really means to represent a culture, and why sometimes, telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.00:00 Intro 01:43 Danny Hajjar's Hot Takes: Speed Round 07:55 How to Get a Music Journalist's Attention 10:18 Why Now Is the Moment for Arabic Music 22:03 Arabic Music: What's Working vs What's Not 25:40 Mohamed Ramadan, Coachella, and Using Your Platform to Speak Up 33:30 When Identity Becomes the Story: Is That Enough? 35:45 Star Academy, Arabic Dialects, and Remembering Massari 45:43 Underrated Arabic Artists You Need to Hear

Send us a textWarning Very Explicit Biblical Content.  Listener discretion required. Not suitable for Children or vulnerable adults.It's Time to Speak UpLet me end with one final observation — and I believe it comes straight from the last verse of this dark, sobering chapter. It says: “Consider it, confer on it, then speak up.” That's the call.So when is it time to speak?Let me give you some biblical guidance — a few situations where God's people must raise their voices.1. Speak Up When There's InjusticeThat's the heart of this passage. A woman was brutally abused and killed, and the question is raised: What will Israel do about it?What will you do?If you see injustice — in your community, in your workplace, in your neighbourhood — you don't sit back. You say something.God's people are called to stand for justice — not just pray about it, but speak into it.2. Speak Up When People Are in DangerThe men of Gibeah weren't just wicked. They were dangerous. Do you think what happened that night would be the last time they acted like that?And so it's time to speak up — to prevent further harm.If you have a friend drinking themselves into despair… If someone you know is spiraling in addiction… If someone is caught in a destructive relationship or lifestyle… Love says something. Silence is not kindness. Sometimes silence is complicity.So yes — for their good, for their soul — say something.3. Speak Up About JesusMost importantly: speak up about the only true hope — Jesus Christ.The solution to the mess we're in isn't better laws. It's not moral behavior. It's spiritual transformation.That's why we need to speak.People need the Lord. That's not cliché — it's reality. He's the only one who can rescue this culture, this country, and any human soul from the cliff it's racing toward.So yes, speak up. And don't worry about the labels.Today, if you say anything unpopular, you're called a bigot. A phobe. A hater.This isn't on it andut hate. It's about holiness. It's about a God in heaven who wrote this Book — and who still speaks through it.If this Book is true, then we must speak. If it's not, then anything goes.But I believe it's true. And I believe it's time to speak.Closing WordsYou've heard it before. But it bears repeating. Edmund Burke once said:“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”So, brothers and sisters in Christ — Consider it. Confer on tie and speak up.That's what this passage is calling us to do.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful story about stepping into your God-given purpose—even when fear screams louder than faith. Join me as I unpack the story of Esther and how her obedience, even in discomfort, positioned her to fulfill a divine assignment. If you've been sitting on a book, an offer, or a message because it feels too big or too risky, this conversation is for you. I'll challenge you to stop hiding behind busyness, confront the fears that are silencing your voice, and recognize the wilderness season for what it truly is: preparation for your promised platform.

For years, many have blamed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the state's housing crisis. Will rolling it back lead to more housing A bestselling book argues blue states are undermining their agenda with red tape. Gov. Newsom answered the demand for a “politics of abundance” with new housing reforms.  Women don't often discuss some of their biggest issues, such as miscarriage, loneliness, lack of intimacy with their partner. The new book “Normalize It” aims to change that. “The Roundup” is a new newspaper celebrating queer cowboy culture, featuring line dance tips, boot picks, poems, and stories from the LGBTQ+ country scene.

Thank You To Our Partners, The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundWatch Full Video EpisodeI want to discuss the benefits of the recent camping trip my wife I and enjoyed in Northern Michigan.As our listeners well understand - we talk a lot about getting outside our comfort zones on this podcast - and while that is usually in the context of practicing our communication skills -Today - the topic is more about stepping AWAY… Part Deux:Immerse:In my reading I learned about a term called the “Three Day Effect” when reading Michael Easter's - The Comfort Crisis. The idea refers to the benefits of spending at minimum - three days immersed in nature to reboot.Goal 1 is important to achieve and goal 2 Immerse ourselves in nature were rooted in this quest to experience the “Three Day Effect' ourselves.In short - we've done our research and learned that South Manitou Island is a really great spot to do all those things - but still have some access to basic needs if we require it. With the exception of food - there is potable water and a bathroom available on the island near the ranger station. Betsy and I hiked about a mile to the Bay area campgrounds, selected an amazing site where the forest meets the beach - and adjacent to one of the usable firepits.The temps were cool. Low 60's High. the low 50's overnight.Our tent setup was great - our food container tight (to prevent chipmunks a.k.a. micro-bears) and our first day explorations were inspiring- well over 10 miles of hiking - views were a bit limited from haze produced by the Canadian wildfires - but the air quality was good - so we were pleased and just marveled at the views we were treated to. The island is visible from the mainland, but the views of the dunes are uniquely awesome when you are standing on them looking in on the island. I could mention the waist high poison Ivy - the mosquitoes - and the Rather funny, but what I loved the most - was the challenge it was to find good down-and-dead wood for a fire. I had only a Leatherman with a small saw.We didn't need a fire - as we carried a small stove and fuel - but we had resolved to go swimming in the lake… and that water, my friends… is cold. We wanted some ‘heat' insurance.Day one - we decided against swimming - as we just didn't anticipate how difficult it was to make a decent fire.Day two - it was cloudy and cool - but not as much haze. We put less pressure on ourselves for exploration but easily hiked over 8 miles - and this time found some really great branches for a fire that would last. The last part of our hike consisted of carrying armfulls of branches and logs.I mention this because this is when I really felt my mind stop tracking on ‘other' things. A simple - old as time task - like finding firewood on a remote island was … rewarding.The reward was mostly manifest in the return of our resolve to plunge into the lake water.The water temp is cold-plunge ready at this time of the year - low to mid 50's (F)That's pretty cold on a breezy, cloudy day with the air temps in the low 60s…But in we went!I'll be clear - we did NOT stay in the water long. Nonetheless - as we walked back to the campsite a few hundred feet away, we did not feel cold. Just… really refreshed. The air we had thought cold before - was no longer.To keep a long story short - I'll say that we enjoyed a great fire that night… but noted our food would run out if the weather became too rough overnight.We had been told by the ranger on our arrival to return to the ferry dock early on our last day

Ethan Burris is a senior associate dean in the business school at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is also a professor of management.   Ethan has helped improve operations and employee engagement for several top companies, including Fortune 500 companies in technology, financial services, casual dining, grocery, and retail sectors, along with hospitals, defense contractors, commercial real estate companies, and governmental agencies. He has also acted as a visiting scholar for Microsoft and Google.   Ethan earned a PhD and MS from Cornell University where he worked as a lecturer before joining Texas.   In this episode we discuss the following: In order for leaders to consistently make the best decisions, they need access to the best information. But all too often, employees who have that information don't speak up. To get employees to speak up, maybe the most important thing managers can do is proactively reach out and solicit voice. No good manager has ever said they have a closed-door policy. But if we don't have systems in place that encourage employee voice, our door will feel much more closed to employees than we perceive.  Simple techniques can help employees speak up. For example, managers can use the two-question, two-word response check in at the beginning of meetings: How are you feeling? What's going on? This gives people a chance to speak, while also creating an expectation that everyone has something to say. Eye contact can also be important. When we give deference to people it signals we trust them and helps them feel like speaking up. It's also important for leaders to be consistent, otherwise it feels risky to speak up. Proactively seeking voice comes at a cost. Many of the Type A+ people Ethan consults with feel like some of these things are too touchy feel. Some of the activities also take time that could be spent on other things. By proactively seeking out voice, we signal that we value it and increase the odds that we get access to the best information from our employees.   Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@nate.meikle

Thank You To Our Partners, The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundWatch Full Video EpisodeIn our episode today…I want to discuss the benefits of the recent camping trip my wife and I enjoyed in Northern Michigan.As our listeners well understand - we talk a lot about getting outside our comfort zones on this podcast - and while that is usually in the context of practicing our communication skills, today, the topic is more about stepping AWAY… Specifically from people, electronics, and modern comforts or modes of transportation, and instead highlight the benefits of immersing yourself in nature and rebooting your mind.My wife, Betsy, and I did our stepping away together by stepping onto a ferryboat and taking a nearly 2-hour trip West into Lake Michigan. We traveled from Fishtown in Leland (tip of the pinky on the Michigan map) and docked at South Manitou Island, where we would hike and camp with only the things we carried.South Manitou is a 10-mile circumference, barely inhabited island in the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Its pristine fresh water is as blue as the Caribbean, just not as warm!If our adventure intrigues you, you'll enjoy this episode, as I hope to challenge and encourage you to seek out a similar type of adventure, as well as learn why I think this topic merits greater emphasis in our modern lives, now more than ever.Today's WOTD is: GarrulousGAIR-uh-lusadjectiveContaining many and often too many words.Talkative. Verbosity.“He delivered a rather garrulous speech.”Some Context:This camping trip has been on the calendar for me and my wife most of the year.Our anniversary gift(s) to ourselves has involved a mix of ordering camping gear online -to frequent trips to REI.What's important to note is that I have virtually no real experience ‘camping' or ‘backpacking.'Sure, I am into rucking as a fitness regime, and that builds strength to carry heavy loads long distances - hiking and backpacking involve practical gear, and as light a load as you can possibly make to bring what you need to survive.Our goals were threefold. 1.) Unplug and disconnect from devices, noise, and distraction2.) Immerse ourselves in nature3.) Reboot and return refreshed - with the “Three Day Effect” (which we'll explain)My hope was that this will improve for my wife and I both, our creative minds, our ability to focus and solve problems, and in general become more adept with backpacking and camping to take longer adventures together!UNPLUG:On the goal of disconnecting:Listen. I've felt like stepping away from constant connection for a while now.I've done something of an Irish Goodbye with Facebook. That is, I never said anything, I just sort of left it. There are so many reasons, many of which our Speak Up listeners are familiar with. Despite benefiting from a social media presence in my career, I am no fan of social media.I could tell you more about alarming statistics of wasted human time (i.e. that the equivalent of 200,000 entire human lifetimes are spent endlessly scrolling social media)I could talk about how companies like Meta are harvesting every piece of data they can about you to manipulate you to a.) spend more time on their ecosystem and b.) spend money with their advertisers.I could tell you I'm sick of being distracted…But the real catalyst for me was regarding some exchanges I observed among even respected friends. Public disputes were becoming more common - toxic groupthink was becoming more normalized - and antithetical points...
