In this powerful episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares an unexpected lesson from his newly vocal Australian Shepherd—and how it applies to our own lives. Too often, we suffer in silence, hoping people will see our struggles or guess what we need. But as Baylor explains, pride and fear keep us from getting the help, support, and opportunities that are already within reach. Through his own journey of vulnerability, asking for help, and building community, Baylor shows why your ability to speak up is not weakness—it's strength. Key Takeaways: Silence Holds You Back: People can't help you if they don't know you need it. Stop fighting invisible battles alone. Asking for Help Is Strength: Vulnerability opens the door for support, resources, and the relationships that can change everything. One “Yes” Can Change Your Life: You don't need everyone to believe in you—just one person willing to help. Pride Will Cost You Time: Refusing to ask for help only delays the progress you could be making now. Give Back Once You Rise: When someone helps you, pay it forward. Be the person who helps the next person win. Notable Quotes: “Closed mouths don't get fed.” “You'd be surprised how much help there is—if you'd just ask.” “I don't care who gets the credit; I care about the result.” “The people you help will root for you because they feel part of your success story.” “Speak up. You deserve help. Your dreams deserve help.”

Effective Communication with Craig O'Neill https://craigoneill.captivate.fm/

In a world where silence often feels safer than truth, God's Word calls His people to boldly speak up for what is right. Proverbs 31:8-9 commands, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves… defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Speaking up is not merely about opinion—it's about aligning our voices with God's justice. From Moses standing before Pharaoh, to Esther risking her life before the king, the Bible is full of faithful examples of those who stood for righteousness in critical moments.Jesus Himself never remained silent in the face of injustice. He spoke truth with love, corrected the proud, and lifted the broken. As His followers, we are called to do the same. Ephesians 4:15 urges us to “speak the truth in love,” not for the sake of argument, but for the sake of righteousness. When we choose courage over comfort, our words can become instruments of healing, hope, and transformation.To speak up for what is right is to reflect the heart of God. Silence may be easy, but righteousness demands a voice.Referenced Verses: Leviticus 5:1James 4:17Proverbs 19:18Jonah 3:5-10Matthew 18:15Proverbs 11:13Galatians 6:12 Timothy 3:16-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

In her first media interview since stepping down early as Canada's Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, Deborah Lyons spoke to The CJN frankly about why she left. There were no medical or mental health issues that prompted her decision, she says. It was, in part, exhaustion after spending nearly two years “waking up every day to a fight”. It was hard to get people to speak up for the community. Some wouldn't even agree to speak with her personally. Over time, she grew “despondent and despairing” over how few Canadians have stood up against the anti-Jewish hatred that has flared up in this country since she took the job, soon after Oct. 7, 2023. Despite serving a term as Canada's ambassador to Israel from 2016 to 2020, her appointment raised eyebrows in some quarters—including in the Jewish community—because she herself is not Jewish. Nonetheless, she maintained to The CJN how important it was for her to accept the job to show what allyship can look like and to fight for a better Canada. Now, however, she is leaving the post highly critical of various Canadian sectors. Canadian business leaders, religious leaders and politicians have failed to support the Jewish community. Governments, she believes, found it easier to hold summits to fight carjackings and tariffs—yet could not cooperate when it came to combatting hate. On today's episode of The CJN's flagship news podcast North Star, Deborah Lyons sits down with host Ellin Bessner for an in-depth interview to explain her resignation and why Canadians need to stop being bystanders in what she calls a fight for the future of our country's children.

Hear Deborah Lyons' first interview after being appointed Special Envoy to replace Irwin Cotler, in The CJN, and her later one after releasing the new IHRA handbook in the fall of 2024. Her last initiative before resigning was a study of antisemitism in Ontario public schools, in The CJN.

How do some leaders show up, almost effortlessly, with a proactive point of view and clear messaging? I'd bet you money that for most, it's a matter of intention and skill-building, not just natural talent! The ability to balance warmth, confidence, and competence is not just within reach for extroverts, either, according to today's guest.Today, Laura Camacho and I talk about what executive presence means (it's not just how nice your suit fits!), how empathy relates to executive presence, specific challenges for more introverted leaders to increase their empathy, and what the C-suite is looking for to promote someone internally. Laura shares that the true purpose of executive presence is to help others have confidence in YOU as a leader, and she shares some tools on how to be clearer and empathetic in your messaging, as well as tips to mentor others, especially introverts. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:You have to be both a storyteller and a data driver. It is not a hard binary. Even the most analytical people are driven by emotion.If you are stressing about saying something badly, say it anyway - it likely won't be bad, and you can always course correct on the off-chance that it is.Prepare in advance to speak out in meetings about your domain. Be prepared to speak up early and with structure. "Connection, competence, and confidence - you need all of those. You cannot have executive presence without empathy." — Laura CamachoFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

Let's get one thing straight: Women aren't quiet because they lack confidence. They're quiet because the culture taught them it's safer that way.In this episode of Say It Out Loud, I'm breaking down why “just speak up” is some of the laziest, most surface-level advice given to women in corporate spaces — and why it completely misses the point.Visibility isn't a confidence issue. It's a culture issue. And culture is shaped by leadership, not by how loud someone speaks in a meeting.I'm diving into: 

Persistence wins. Silence doesn't. In this episode, we're joined by designer and creative hustler Myles Mendoza to talk about what it really takes to move your career forward—especially when things aren't going your way. From getting laid off to chasing dream projects, Myles shares how persistence (and a well-timed DM) can open doors that talent alone won't.We dive into: • Why “a closed mouth doesn't get fed” • Reaching out with confidence after setbacks • Turning pop-culture passion into paid work • Networking that actually feels humanIf you've been waiting for permission to ask, pitch, or push through—this is it.Myles' website: https://www.mylesmendoza.com/Myles on IG:    / mendozacreative

If you can reflect on one thing, it's this:What unspoken rules shaped your voice growing up—and what do you want your children to hear instead?This letter is for anyone raised to stay quiet “out of respect” to one's elders, even if that silence costs them their emotional well-being.Through tender storytelling and raw vulnerability, the writer reflects on what it means to parent with intention after growing up in a household of unspoken feelings and quiet suffering. From honoring her Lola's love to rewriting generational patterns with her children, this letter is a soft but powerful reclamation of voice.If you've ever wished you had permission to speak up, to feel fully, or to say “I'm hurt” without fear, you're not alone.

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.

A technician catches a medication error and speaks up, only to be told later, “You talk too much.” In this powerful episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, confront one of the most damaging cultural issues in veterinary medicine: punishing staff for doing the right thing. The conversation goes beyond this single story to tackle the widespread discomfort around giving and receiving feedback in veterinary clinics. What happens when your workplace isn't psychologically safe? How do we unintentionally silence the very voices that protect patients and improve care? Ward and Mossor dive into what it means to foster a culture of safety, where feedback is seen as a strength, not a threat. They offer practical communication tips, discuss system-based error prevention strategies, and challenge clinic leaders to create environments where speaking up is not only allowed but also expected. This isn't just about error prevention; it's about protecting your team, your patients, and your practice culture from avoidable harm. If you're a veterinary professional who's ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or afraid to speak up, this episode is your validation and your call to action.

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...

You know a friend is cheating on their significant other, or they're cheating on them, do you speak up?

When is it time to speak up and when is it wiser to stay silent? In this episode of Ordinary Discipleship, Chris, Jacob, and Jessie dive into the tension we all feel in relationships, ministry, and daily life: knowing when and how to bring something up. Jessie shares a powerful framework rooted in four key questions - Do I have God's eyes, heart, tone, and timing? - and how it radically reshaped her leadership and interactions. Together, they explore how to align with the Holy Spirit, navigate conflict with grace, and avoid becoming the self-appointed “fixer” in someone else's story.ORDER Jessie's newest book, Ordinary Discipleship: How God Wires Us for the Adventure of Transformation → https://a.co/d/51j86DGFor more great stuff, check out: Ordinary Discipleship by Whoology: https://whoology.coFollow us on social media:https://instagram.com/ordinarydiscipleshiphttps://facebook.com/ordinarydiscipleshipFollow Jessie on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/yourbrainbyjessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.s.cruickshank/Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourbrainbyjessJessie Cruickshank is a disciple-maker, wilderness guide, and ordained minister.

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.

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.  

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. You'll also hear why community is essential, why your voice matters, and why now is the time to move—even if it's messy. Let's rise, roar, and walk boldly into what He's calling us to do.   If you are done waiting, then join us here: Resistandroar.com

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
