Podcast Notes Episode 464 The Five Step Ethical Sales Framework for Coaches w/ Wes Bryant Host: Brian Miller, Executive Director of CAM Guests: Wes Bryant In this episode, Wes Bryant—an expert in ethical influence and persuasion—shares his journey from struggling coach to founder of The Commissioned Coach. He breaks down his five-step sales process for coaches who dislike selling, showing how to shift from a fear of being “salesy” to seeing sales as a service. Through mindset shifts, ethical communication, and relationship-focused methods, Wes empowers coaches to grow their practices with confidence and integrity. Key Highlights: Sales and coaching often conflict due to differing communication styles—one pushes, the other explores. Wes's breakthrough came with a mindset shift: sales is a service, not a manipulation. His five-step process begins with abundance and progresses through reliability, influence, objection-handling, and more (covered in future episodes). Coaches often struggle not because of a lack of effort, but because they fear “being salesy” and avoid direct asks. Ethical persuasion focuses on helping people make the best decision for themselves—even if that decision isn't you. Takeaways: Shift from a scarcity mindset (“I need clients”) to an abundance mindset (“How can I help?”). View yourself as a reliable guide, not a nuisance—you're there to serve. Tailor communication to each person in your funnel based on their trust and readiness. Influence ethically by aligning motives with the client's best interest. Prepare for objections ahead of time so pricing or hesitation doesn't derail your confidence.

"Having the insight and being able to stitch together your technical resources and business decisions together, is the prime place where observability can add value to you,” stated Manesh Tailor, EMEA Field CTO at New Relic.In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Kevin Petrie, Vice President of Research at BARC, speaks with Manesh Tailor about the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and observability, and how this is positively changing business operations.Tailor emphasises how intelligent observability has changed beyond simple monitoring to provide real-time insights into customer experience and the entire technology stack. This enables informed decisions across engineering, operations, and business domains, directly linking technical performance to strategic business outcomes.He also discusses the different stages observability has been through and where it's leading to now. The current wave, Observability 3.0, takes advantage of AI to predict issues and even enable self-healing systems. New Relic has embraced this two-way street, using AI within its platform. This was in an ambition to help users and "AI monitoring" to track the performance of language models alongside traditional metrics. Such a platform provides a holistic view of system health and the cost implications of AI deployments.Alluding to the management of AI-powered applications, Tailor says collaboration is key between application and data science teams. Not only does it provide real time data but as a result leads to efficient decision making.Futuristically, the speedy proliferation of AI agents has both pros and cons for observability. This is where New Relic comes in. It addresses the challenges by constructing a platform-centric "AI orchestrator" with a growing library of AI-native agents. In essence, as AI-powered applications become increasingly integral to business operations, intelligent observability is no longer optional.

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) – Reviewing Client Progress In Episode 336 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at building your counselling CV – including key features to include, ways to stand out, and how to present yourself professionally. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Nicola Durrant about working with clients who have Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) – a profile on the autism spectrum that requires a unique and flexible therapeutic approach. And lastly in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken look at how to review a client's progress in therapy – and why it's an important part of ethical and effective practice. Building your Counselling CV [starts at 03:31 mins] A counselling CV is your first professional impression – and it should reflect not only your qualifications but also your values and personal qualities. In this section, Rory and Ken explore what makes an effective and authentic CV: Start by making sure it's well-structured and no more than 2–4 pages. Tailor it to each job, making sure you reflect the ethos of the organisation you're applying to. Be honest about your experience, but also include transferable skills such as active listening, communication, and resilience. Include professional memberships, ethical awareness, and a commitment to personal development. A personal statement can be a great way to communicate your motivation, values, and readiness for the role. If you've done any research or CPD, mention this too – especially if it aligns with the organisation's client group or focus. Ask a peer or supervisor to read your CV and give feedback – having a second pair of eyes helps spot anything you may have missed. Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) [starts at 29:46 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Nicola Durrant about Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) – a profile on the autism spectrum characterised by a high level of anxiety around everyday demands. The key points of this conversation include: PDA is a survival response to perceived demands – it is not about control or defiance. People with PDA often mask their anxiety, especially in school or social environments, and release it later in safe spaces like home. Therapy must be collaborative and low-pressure – avoid direct demands and use invitational language like “I wonder if…” Strategies such as co-regulation, emotional literacy, and flexible structure help support clients with PDA. Trauma-informed practice is essential – the behaviours often resemble trauma responses such as fight, flight, or freeze. Adults with PDA don't outgrow it – they learn how to manage demands and environments that help them feel safe and in control. Reviewing Client Progress [starts at 54:29 mins] Reviewing client progress is a core part of ethical practice, particularly in short-term therapy or student placements. In this section, Rory and Ken look at why reviews are important and how to approach them: Reviews allow the client to reflect on progress, clarify goals, and express what has been helpful or challenging. This also supports therapist development and helps guide future sessions. You can carry out a review through conversation or using tools like the CORE-10 assessment. Let clients know at the start that a review will happen mid-way through the work – this makes it feel natural and expected. Adapt the review timing to the client's progress and needs – it doesn't have to be exactly session six. Ask questions like “How do you feel things are going so far?” or “Is there anything you'd like to change or focus on more?” Use supervision to reflect on what comes up in client reviews – this can strengthen your awareness and planning for the second half of therapy.
In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Etienne Nichols speaks with renowned regulatory and reimbursement expert Karandeep Singh Badwal to uncover the complexities of medical device reimbursement across the US, EU, and Asian markets. From the influence of governmental systems to the nuances of coding, coverage, and payments, Karandeep shares real-world insights for MedTech companies developing their global market strategies. Learn why early planning for reimbursement is just as crucial as regulatory approval, and how future-proofing your strategy against political and economic changes can safeguard your device's success.Key Timestamps:00:00 – Intro and Sponsor Message (Greenlight Guru Quality)02:30 – Why Reimbursement Must Be Considered Early07:15 – US Reimbursement System: Medicare, Medicaid, and Private Insurers13:10 – EU Reimbursement: Challenges with Fragmented National Systems17:45 – Asian Market Differences: Japan, China, and South Korea23:20 – The Importance of a Reimbursement Expert28:05 – Navigating Political Changes in Global MedTech Markets33:30 – Special Challenges for AI and Software as a Medical Device40:00 – Direct-to-Consumer vs. Prescription Strategies46:20 – Integrating Real-World Evidence and Post-Market Surveillance52:00 – How Management Reviews Can Align Business and Quality Goals01:03:10 – Pros and Cons: US vs. EU Reimbursement Models01:18:20 – Final Takeaways and Closing ThoughtsStandout Quotes:"Reimbursement isn't just the final step after regulatory approval — it is a core business strategy."Why it matters: Many companies fail by not building reimbursement into their earliest development and design decisions."You can have the most innovative medical device in the world, but without a reimbursement pathway, you won't have a viable business."Why it matters: Innovation alone isn't enough; financial strategy is crucial to survival and growth.Top Takeaways:Start with reimbursement in mind: Align your product claims, indications, and market strategies with potential reimbursement pathways early.Tailor by region: US, EU, and Asian markets all have distinct reimbursement landscapes — success in one doesn't guarantee success in another.Hire jurisdiction-specific experts: Use consultants experienced in your target markets to avoid costly mistakes.Leverage post-market surveillance: Integrate real-world evidence gathering into your QMS and management reviews to support reimbursement claims.Build strategic flexibility: Political and regulatory landscapes shift — maintain backup jurisdictions and alternative market strategies.References:Etienne Nichols on LinkedInGreenlight Guru Quality Management SystemMedtech Podcast hosted by Karandeep Singh BadwalMedTech 101 Section:What is "Reimbursement" in MedTech?Reimbursement refers to how a company gets paid for a medical device after it's cleared for use. This usually involves navigating government programs (like Medicare) or private insurance, and it determines how easily hospitals, clinics, or individuals can buy and use a product.Simple Analogy: Think of it like getting a movie produced: regulatory clearance is getting your movie rated, but reimbursement is making sure theaters agree to pay you to...

In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche dive deep into a critical—but often misunderstood—element of project management: setting deadlines. This episode goes beyond the basics of timelines and introduces the psychology, strategy, and communication needed to make deadlines effective, not stressful. Why Setting Deadlines Matters for Business Projects Deadlines define a project's rhythm. As Rob puts it, “the deadline is the finish line.” It's not just about when code is complete—it's about when the product is ready for delivery, after testing, packaging, training, and documentation. Deadlines force prioritization. Without them, projects risk becoming endless cycles of scope creep and perfectionism. But setting arbitrary or unrealistic deadlines can just as easily derail progress.

These are confusing times, and hard times to work in a small business. As Bart Watson of the Brewers Association recently said, beer makers really dislike uncertainty. So, how can anyone plan when the global supply chain is changing minute by minute? On this epidode we talk about how to budget for the unknown. The last few months have seen a fire hose of news coming out of Washington D.C., a lot centered around tariffs and global trade. Admittedly, it's difficult to do a show on the topic because of the chaotic nature of the rollout from the White House and how seemingly concrete plans crumble minutes after they are announced. This obviously creates uncertainty in the markets and on main street. This episode features two conversations that center around what might be coming and how to best prepare. Bart Watson the president and CEO of the Brewers Association talks about the bigger picture and then Audra Gaiziunas of Brewed for Her Ledger tells us how you can best budget for uncertainty.

How powerful is exercise in the fight against advanced prostate cancer? Dr. Geo speaks with world-renowned exercise oncology expert Dr. Rob Newton from Australia, whose groundbreaking research has shaped how clinicians approach fitness and cancer care. From bone metastasis to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), Dr. Newton explains how the right exercise, at the right dose, can not only improve quality of life but potentially extend it.Together, they explore the science, practical guidelines, and inspiring stories behind using movement as medicine—even for men with metastatic, castration-resistant disease.Key TakeawaysExercise is medicine for men with prostate cancer—including advanced and metastatic cases.Resistance training helps preserve or build muscle during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), reducing side effects like fatigue, bone loss, and metabolic issues.Even with bone metastases, exercise can be done safely with modified strength programs—no increase in fractures observed in studies.Muscle strength and fitness are strongly linked to lower cancer-related and all-cause mortality.Myokines released from working muscles have direct anti-cancer effects and support immune function.Focus on large muscle groups (legs, back, chest) using moderate to heavy weights—6 to 15 reps per set.Tailor workouts to the individual: more strength training for muscle loss, more cardio for heart/metabolic risk.Periodized, varied routines improve outcomes and help patients tolerate treatments like chemo better._________________________ Introducing The Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast Exclusive MembershipWe'll continue bringing you powerful weekly episodes to support your prostate health journey.

Hello to you listening in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Recently, I was talking with my friend and fellow podcaster, Jeff Ikler of Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity podcast. We were comparing notes about growing up in a time when we made do with what was available to us. What we had was enough even if we wished for just a little more. I promised Jeff a story.Diane's story version: Once upon a time long ago and far away there lived in a small town a Jewish tailor. He had been making clothes for the people in that town for as long as anyone could remember. He was a skilled craftsman creating lovely dresses as well as fine suits, trousers, and shirts.And even though the clothes he made lasted a good long while the tailor was always busy. You see what set him apart was being thrifty. While other tailors would use a whole bolt of cloth and charge their customers for the extra fabric, this tailor knew how to carefully and skillfully cut the fabric so that there was little waste. But here's something else the people in that town knew. Never once had the tailor sewn something brand new to wear himself. Until one day he decided that it was time. He selected a bolt of fine fabric and made himself a coat. He wore his coat with pride until one day he realized that his coat had seen better days. So he took it apart and made himself a jacket. He wore that jacket with pride until one day he realized that it had seen better days. So, he took it apart and made himself a vest which, yes, you're right he wore with pride until it really had seen better days. That vest became a jaunty cap and in time that cap became a covered button for his trousers. When that button was gone he had nothing left but this story. And he told his story to everyone with pride in his voice.Story Prompt: Think about a time when you finally did something wonderful for yourself. What was it? How did it feel?

What does it say about your favorite podcast host that he considers the 1979 BBC adaptation of John le Carre's seminal espionage novel 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' to be COMFORT VIEWING?? Nonetheless, as Smiley would say, there we are. In this episode, curiously one in which I am still totally unresolved as to how best to approach this series in episodic fashion, I explore the myriad genius aspects of the production.
In this episode, we dive into the science of eating disorders and their genetic origins with Dr. Michael Lutter MD, PhD, psychiatrist, a physician-scientist, and author of GIFTED: Genetic Information for Treating Eating Disorders. Join us as we uncover the fascinating world of genetic research and its implications for eating disorder care. Dr. Lutter breaks down how mutations in our DNA can impact everything from metabolism to appetite regulation, potentially complicating both treatment and recovery. Using "exome sequencing", Dr. Lutter tailors treatment plans based on a patient's unique genetic makeup, offering hope for those who've struggled to find effective care. If you've ever wondered about the role genetics play in eating disorders—or you're looking for new insights into your own treatment journey—this episode is a must.
