And if not, address that—that's what you need to address to be able to develop your organization."   “When you are able to instill a feeling of mastery in people that has a huge effect on their motivation.”   "A lot of people think that one [training] system or one approach will fit with all the different employees... and I think it needs to be a lot more nuanced than that."

Welcome to this episode dedicated to style clarity for the new season! Today we're exploring why knowing your style is the foundation for dressing with confidence, how to decode your style personality, and practical ways to prep your wardrobe for Autumn/Winter 2025. Why Finding Your Style Matters Building a wardrobe centered on your authentic style saves time, money, and stress—making daily dressing easier and more creative. When you know your style personality, you'll shop more intentionally and avoid chasing trends that don't feel like “you”. Style empowers you to express your identity, wants, and vibe—whether that means embracing bold colours, tailored pieces, or something unexpected. Key Steps to Defining Your Personal Style Audit your wardrobe and call out what you love: keep only pieces that make you feel great. Create a moodboard or lookbook of outfit inspiration—notice patterns in colours, shapes, and brands you're drawn to. Ignore “rules”: Style is personal, so experiment until you discover what feels authentic. Shop with intention; invest in versatile basics but layer in statement finds that feel uniquely right for your lifestyle. Autumn/Winter 2025 Trends Breakdown Chaotic layering is a top trend: Think mixed prints, clashing textures, and a playful “undone” vibe. Tailoring & sleek shapes: Structured vests, wide-leg trousers, and midi skirts define this season's everyday elegance. Animal prints go beyond leopard—expect cowhide, Dalmatian, and faux fur details for statement coats and accessories. Earthy tones take the lead—mocha, burgundy, suede, and even touches of red hot for striking accents. Quiet luxury evolves into ‘maximalism': bold colours, expressive patterns, and statement accessories help you make a style impact. Key essentials: Wide leg trousers, knitwear, classic boots, tailored coats, versatile layering pieces.

How do you cut through the noise? So one of our tactics is making sure that we're personalizing the message to the right audience. One of my pet peeves is saying the right message at the right time at the right channel. That's so cliché to say, but it's at the heart of what we want to do—making sure that the message is personalized to the industry, to the persona, and to the topic.”Key Takeaways:Personalization cuts through noise. Tailoring messages by industry, persona, and timing is key to standing out in a crowded digital landscape.CMOs are responsible for creating alignment.

This week on Investing Simplified, Bo Caldwell and Matt Sudol tackled some of the most persistent myths and rules of thumb that can trip up even savvy investors and small business owners. They emphasized the importance of proactive planning—whether for taxes, retirement rollovers, or choosing the right business retirement plan—and highlighted that relying on generic rules like the 4% withdrawal rate, eliminating all debt, or blindly following Social Security timing can lead to costly mistakes. Instead, they recommend tailoring strategies to each individual's specific situation, noting that successful investing is less about outsmarting market movements and more about maintaining a well-constructed, diversified plan that fits personal goals and comfort levels. The show also featured a segment on estate planning to explain the differences between community property and separate property states, and how these distinctions can affect taxes and inheritance.Navigating the world of finance can be overwhelming, especially when biased advice and outdated strategies cloud the path to financial success.

How can construction companies thrive in an era where uncertainty is the new normal? In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Dustin Stephens shares his journey from the jobsite to technology leadership, offering practical insights for navigating today's industry challenges. From labor shortages and supply chain disruptions to tariff fluctuations, Dustin explains how technology and AI can drive efficiency, reduce errors, and improve communication across teams. He explores change management, stakeholder alignment, and strategies for smart technology adoption. The conversation also highlights how leaders can evaluate investments, embrace innovation, and minimize downtime to boost profitability and stay competitive.   MEET OUR GUEST Dustin Stephens is Vice President of Construction and Real Estate at Sage. He is a dynamic construction software executive with more than 25 years of experience serving the industry. Dustin is responsible for go-to-market strategies and building partner and customer programs for Sage's construction business globally. He is keen about driving healthy change in construction through technology.   TODD TAKES Balance Priorities with Peer Insights Technology adoption works best when you strike a balance—focus first on your company's top priorities and real-world issues in the field, but also keep an eye on what your peers are investing in. That outside perspective helps validate your roadmap without getting lost in “keeping up with the Joneses.” Show the Value to Every Stakeholder Successful adoption isn't about rolling out new tech—it's about communicating why it matters to each stakeholder. What's in it for the estimator? For the project manager? For the CFO? Tailoring the message and sharing real-world wins helps build buy-in and momentum. Break Down the Silos Data silos are the enemy of agility. Integrating systems between the back office and the field ensures the right people get the right insights at the right time. When information flows, teams can spot issues early, collaborate better, and ultimately improve profitability.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Dustin's Journey into Construction 02:33 Navigating Uncertainty in Construction 05:34 Long-Term Planning Amidst Challenges 08:19 The Rise of AI in Construction 11:19 Technology Adoption Strategies 14:03 Change Management in Construction 16:53 Aligning Teams for Success 19:40 Decision-Making in Technology Investments 22:27 Modeling the Future of Construction 25:11Defining Innovation in Construction 27:47 Innovating for Efficiency   More Resources Thanks for listening!

In this episode, host Etienne Nichols sits down with MedTech quality expert Beth Waring to explore the often-overlooked but crucial relationship between project managers and quality professionals. They tackle the common friction points and misunderstandings that arise when these two roles intersect, and discuss why this relationship is so vital for building a successful and compliant quality management system (QMS).Beth highlights that the key to a strong partnership is open communication and mutual respect, moving away from the "quality as a police force" mentality. She emphasizes that quality is not just a department but a company-wide mindset—a concept she calls "small Q quality." The discussion provides practical insights on how project managers and quality professionals can work together effectively, ensuring that processes are flexible yet compliant.They also explore how language and tools can either help or hinder this collaboration. By reframing conversations to focus on shared goals like risk mitigation and efficiency, and by adopting user-friendly QMS solutions like Greenlight Guru's, teams can achieve better engagement and compliance. Beth shares a personal anecdote about turning a skeptic into a quality champion by simply explaining the "why" behind a procedure, underscoring the power of education and trust in fostering a culture of quality.Key Timestamps00:02:54 - Defining a culture of quality and the friction points in implementation.00:03:21 - The problem with "big Q" and "small Q" quality and why language matters.00:07:05 - The ideal relationship between a project manager and a quality professional.00:10:34 - The analogy of quality as a safety guardrail for the company.00:11:14 - Expanding the scope of risk management beyond patient harm.00:14:53 - Strategies for overcoming resistance and low adoption of new quality tools.00:17:43 - The importance of involving quality professionals early in the proof-of-concept phase.00:19:30 - Tailoring communication to different departments to enhance engagement.00:21:21 - Beth's story about converting a skeptic into a quality champion by explaining the "why."00:24:42 - The critical role of digital solutions in streamlining change orders and design controls.Quotes"Quality is doing the right thing when nobody's watching." "Quality can be a police force or they can be a partner. We want to make sure they're a partner." - Etienne NicholsTakeawaysFoster a Culture of Collaboration: Shift the mindset from quality as a policing function to a collaborative partnership. Open communication and trust between project managers and quality professionals are essential for success and compliance.Explain the "Why": Rather than dictating procedures, take the time to explain the purpose and regulatory justification behind quality processes. When people understand the "why," they are more likely to adopt and champion the system.Flexibility is Key: A rigid QMS can lead to frustration and workarounds. Build flexibility and risk-based decision-making into your processes from the start, allowing for deviations when justified without compromising safety or compliance.Involve Quality Early: Bringing quality professionals into the R&D and proof-of-concept phases ensures that early-stage documentation is robust and controlled. This streamlined approach prevents issues and rework later in the development cycle.Leverage Modern Tools: Modern Electronic Quality Management Systems (EQMS) like...

Sleep struggles can feel like a nightly battle when parenting a child with ADHD. But what if the solution isn't another sticker chart or stricter routine—but understanding the unique way your child's brain processes sensory information?Dr. Amy and Teri talk about how during a recent webinar on focus and attention for homeschooling families, one question dominated our Q&A session: "How do I help my ADHD child sleep?" This reflects a universal challenge as sleep disruption affects nearly every aspect of family life. The science explains why: children with ADHD typically experience altered sleep patterns, struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or sleeping for shorter durations. What many parents don't realize is that their own exhaustion and frustration at bedtime can actually make the problem worse through mirror neurons—special brain cells that make emotions contagious between people who care about each other.The game-changer for many families starts with identifying whether your child is a sensory seeker or a sensory avoider. Sensory seekers—those kids who run laps around the house and dive into couch cushions—need additional stimulation to calm down. They benefit from weighted blankets, textured bedding, rhythmic sounds, or rocking motions. Meanwhile, sensory avoiders become overwhelmed by too much input and need darker rooms, minimal noise, and softer textures. Understanding this fundamental difference allows you to create a bedroom environment that serves as your child's sensory sanctuary.Beyond environmental adjustments, be mindful that blue light from screens biologically blocks melatonin release, signaling to the brain that it's still daytime. This makes the no-screens-before-bed rule not arbitrary, but physiologically necessary. Quality sleep literally cleanses your child's brain, washing away toxins that accumulate during the day's neural activity. Without this cleansing process, cognitive function, emotional regulation, and learning capacity—areas where neurodivergent children already struggle—become even more challenging. By tailoring sleep routines to your child's unique sensory profile, you're not just improving nights, you're setting them up for better days and creating positive ripple effects throughout your family life.CONNECT WITH US: Website: www.TheBrainyMoms.com Email: info@TheBrainyMoms.com Social Media: @TheBrainyMoms Our sponsor's website: www.LearningRx.comSandy's TikTok: @TheBrainTrainerLadyDr. Amy's brand new IG: @DrAmySaysGraceDr. Amy's website: www.AmyMoorePhD.com

What if the hardest transaction you face becomes the one that teaches you the most? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with top-producing agent Delaney Henderson to uncover the mindset, grit, and strategies that catapulted her from a burned-out paralegal in DC to one of Northeast Florida's most respected and relatable real estate mentors. Delaney doesn't sugarcoat the truth—she opens up about industry misconceptions, failed transactions, emotional burnouts, and the quiet resilience required to succeed in a chaotic market. Delaney shares the deeply personal reasons she journals every transaction, how mentoring new agents forces her to stay sharp, and why authenticity, handwritten notes, and a picture of her dog on a business card transformed her lead generation game.

We are very excited to welcome Jodi Gold, MD of The Gold Center to the show this week. Dr. Jodi Gold is a board-certified pediatric and adult psychiatrist with expertise in child and adolescent pharmacology, reproductive psychiatry, psychotherapy for mood and anxiety disorders, and the impact of digital technology. She has earned multiple awards from esteemed organizations, including NIMH and AACAP. From 2006 to 2012, she led the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient department at Weill Cornell and has since taught and mentored at both Cornell and Columbia. Dr. Gold is also the author of the acclaimed book Screen-Smart Parenting, which offers guidance on balancing children's digital media use. While raising kids in a world full of tech can feel like a constant balancing act (especially when every headline warns of the harmful effects of digital overload), Dr. Gold offers a refreshing perspective on parenting in the digital age. Rather than prescribing rigid rules or causing/worsening parental anxiety, she advocates for a very thoughtful, flexible approach that stems from empathy, honesty, and consistency. Dr. Gold recontextualizes the conversation around screen time, encouraging parents to focus less on hours and more on habits. She stresses that the same principles that guide good parenting offline, such as structure and communication, apply online as well. What is most important, she argues, isn't perfect control but rather presence. Parents don't need to be tech experts to be effective; they just need to stay curious, open, and willing to engage with their kids' digital lives. Hear strategies for building trust and setting healthy boundaries that match each child's developmental stage and personality. Dr. Gold highlights the importance of understanding your own digital behaviors too, since kids are always watching and also often imitating what they see. From gaming and social media to group texts and YouTube spirals, this episode encourages parents to stay connected and involved without becoming overbearing or checked out. Show Notes: [2:25] - Dr. Jodi Gold argues that fear and shame get in the way of effective parenting, but staying engaged online and offline builds trust. [4:06] - Parents need to align tech rules with their own habits and use an authoritative but balanced parenting style. [7:10] - Dr. Gold encourages parents to follow their child's digital interests with curiosity and focus on resilience, not just restriction. [9:12] - Many parents understand school schedules but overlook how their kids use devices day-to-day. [11:18] - Knowing your child's social context can help you determine whether tech isolates or supports them. [14:09] - Dr. Gold points out how parents of younger kids tend to engage more with tech use. [16:16] - Tailoring tech rules to each child's needs is important, especially for children with ADHD and/or anxiety. [18:45] - Dr. Gold observes that kids today are fearless digital natives, so parents must stay present and observant even when not experts. [20:20] - How kids use tech is more important than how long; they need focus rather than just limits [21:58] - It's important to combine empathy with structure and to use tech as a reward. [24:53] - Parents should set honest limits around screen time without guilt, using structure and self-awareness. [26:49] - Dr. Gold believes that occasional screen use is okay; just be honest about your own usage, and stay involved in your child's life. [28:14] - Strong parent-child communication and self-awareness can help kids manage digital life and mental health. [31:21] - Parent the digital world the same way you parent offline - based on your values, not on fear.

I'm challenging you to reconsider the approach to solving problems in your audience's life or business through your courses. In this episode of the New Generation Entrepreneur Podcast, we'll explore why offering a solution to a single, specific problem might be more effective than creating comprehensive, 'monster' programs aimed at solving multiple issues. Tailoring a course to address a precise problem can make marketing simpler and more impactful. Learn why smaller, focused courses can often be created faster and marketed more effectively, and discover strategies to optimize your existing courses to better meet the needs of your audience. Tune in for insights on thriving in business by aligning your offers closely with your audience's most pressing problems. Did you enjoy this episode?
