If you want to elevate your learning and development role from an order taker to a strategic partner, it starts with something many leaders overlook: mindset. In this episode, I explore how the way you think about your role in learning and development directly impacts your influence, credibility, and results inside your organization.Too often, nonprofit learning professionals feel stuck reacting to requests instead of shaping strategy. But shifting from an order taker to a strategic partner isn't about changing your job title. It's about changing how you show up. I break down how your internal beliefs shape your external behaviors, and ultimately determine whether you're invited to the decision-making table.▶️ The Mindset that Separates Strategic L&D Leaders from Order Takers▶️ Key Points:00:00:00 How Mindset Shapes Your Daily Experiences00:03:50 Strategic L&D Partner vs Order Taker00:08:58 Reinforcing Cycles: Beliefs and OutcomesResources from this episode:The Psychology of Winning by Denis Waitley: https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Winning-Qualities-Nightingale-Publication/dp/1640956441 The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Your-Subconscious-Mind/dp/160459201X Self-Coaching 101 by Brooke Castillo: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Coaching-101-Brooke-Castillo/dp/0977853993 Join us at our next networking event for the Nonprofit L&D Collective on  May 20: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/join-the-nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveConnect with HeatherLinkedIn: Heather BurrightWebsite: skillmastersmarket.comBook an interest call with Heather here.⭐Was this episode helpful?

"Anxiety and excitement are chemically the same reaction — context changes how we interpret it." What actually separates top GMAT performers from everyone else? In this episode of Inside the GMAT, GMAC Zach sits down with Hailey Cusimano, Director of Tutoring at Menlo Coaching, to unpack the five traits she's observed that that drive GMAT success. Through the lens of curiosity, balance, consistency, resilience, and flexibility, Hailey explains why the GMAT is less about memorization and more about critical thinking, self-awareness, and intentional preparation. Whether you're just starting your prep journey or feeling stuck after months of studying, this episode offers actionable insights to help you study smarter — not just harder. About Hailey: Hailey Cusimano is a 99th-percentile performer and a self-proclaimed standardized test nerd. Drawing from her years of experience as an instructor, she knows how to assess students' main obstacles and strategize accordingly, maximizing efficiency in short study windows. Plus, her enthusiasm is infectious, and most students find studying with Hailey actually becomes—dare we say—fun. Helpful Resources: Menlo Coaching: https://menlocoaching.com/ Register for the GMAT: https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/register Purchase GMAT Official Prep: https://www.mba.com/exams/executive-assessment/prepare Key Takeaways: The GMAT is fundamentally a critical thinking test — not a memorization test. Curiosity is one of the strongest predictors of long-term GMAT success. Reflective studying is far more valuable than simply completing large volumes of questions. Consistency matters more than cramming or weekend-only "study marathons." Burnout can quietly undermine progress, even for highly motivated students. Flexibility and adaptability are essential because the GMAT intentionally challenges rigid thinking. Top scorers are not confident all the time — they are resourceful when facing uncertainty. Students improve faster when they analyze why they got stuck, not just what they got wrong. Strong GMAT preparation requires balance between studying, work, rest, and personal life. Resilience allows students to turn setbacks, bad practice tests, and plateau periods into opportunities for growth. The best GMAT students treat mistakes as useful data rather than evidence of failure. Small, intentional daily study sessions are often more effective than infrequent marathon sessions. "Timeline creep" can happen when students study without structure, benchmarks, or accountability. Many students plateau because they over-focus on weaknesses and stop practicing holistically. The GMAT rewards thoughtful decision-making, resource management, and strategic thinking under pressure.

Anyone who's ever had to go to court or deal with the police should know and appreciate the idea of "attorney-client privilege." But now -- thanks to artificial intelligence -- there's concern of that privilege going away. Or in some cases, lawyers say it could result in jokes and offhand comments being included in official documents, creating even more problems later on. 

Forty Colombian farmers sat looking at her, completely unimpressed, when the cartel boss in the back of the room opened a case and a drone flew up out of it. In this episode, I sit down with Attia Qureshi, the negotiation teacher who learned her craft running State Department conflict-resolution work in cartel-controlled coca regions of Colombia, and who now teaches at the University of Michigan after a stint at MIT Sloan. Her new book Never Settle, with a foreword by Sheila Heen and endorsements from Daniel Pink, Robert Cialdini, and Chris Voss, hits shelves next week. The thing I love about her work is that she does not treat negotiation as a boardroom sport. She treats it as a daily relationship skill, the kind you practice with your barista so it is already in your hands when something hard comes up at home. In This Episode The four-step sequence Attia used to reset a room of 40 unimpressed farmers and a cartel boss with a drone, and how the same four steps work in your kitchen tonight Why "take out the trash" is the position and not the actual ask, and the one-sentence reframe that changes how you fight about household chores The fifth-grade bullying story that produced the hard shell most of us are still wearing into adulthood The seven-word test that tells you whether you are influencing someone or manipulating them Why the freeze you feel when you try to speak up is physiology, not personality, and what to do about it in real time How to know when you are giving too much to a taker, and the experiment Attia recommends before you decide to cut losses The literal glass of lemonade that turned a hostile next-door neighbor into a friendly one, and the Cialdini-backed science underneath it Why This Matters This episode is for anyone who knows what they want and goes quiet when it is time to ask. For anyone stuck in a loop with a difficult coworker or in-law that has been the same loop for three years. For anyone who has tried the assertive thing once and the people-pleasing thing once and is exhausted by both, and who wants a path that does not require a personality transplant.

How much choice do we have over toxic behaviour? What makes us more authentic, or inauthentic?

“Do you want to be right or do you want to win? I want to win.” -Will Packer When Will Packer pulls up to The Pivot Podcast, the conversation goes far beyond Hollywood headlines, combining sports and business to one of the most entertaining yet educational episodes we've had. Will unpacks the real story behind his rise—from grinding it out as a young mind at at HBCU to becoming one of the most powerful producers in the game. He shares how he built a billion-dollar film resume from the ground up, turning bold ideas into box office hits while navigating an industry that rarely hands out opportunities. But this isn't just about success. Packer gets candid about the missteps, the pressure of managing money and expectations, and the moments where everything could have fallen apart. From producing cultural staples to learning hard lessons about risk, partnerships, and perseverance, his journey is a masterclass in betting on yourself—even when the odds say otherwise. From navigating Hollywood's gatekeepers to creating opportunities where none existed, his path is paved with resilience, ownership, and vision as we unpack the wins, losses, and the pivots in between—and what it really takes to turn ambition into a lasting legacy. He reflects on hits like Girls Trip, Ride Along, Think Like a Man, and Stomp the Yard to life—films that didn't just perform well, but became cultural movements. Along the way, he's collaborated with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Kevin Hart, Ice Cube, Queen Latifah, Tiffany Haddish, and the late Paul Walker. On day one of filming Takers, Will had to step in and defuse a tense moment when Paul nearly walked off set—quickly navigating the pressure to keep the production on track. It became a test of leadership, showing how staying composed and solutions-focused can turn a potential setback into a moment of trust and respect. Filled with inside stories, lessons and advice on staying at the top, this episode is about building confidence as a muscle, taking big leaps, and overcoming rejection in order to get doors to finally open, Will is unguarded and uses humor to share some of his most impactful moments to allow us to see a side of him we haven't before, hoping his story inspires and ignites a fire in others.

In this episode Drew Stevens argues that many financial advisors are merely order-takers focused on portfolio maintenance and accumulation, not comprehensive retirement planning. He highlights common gaps—tax strategy, IRMA/S, Medicare, Social Security timing, and income distribution—that can leave retirees exposed. Stevens explains what a true retirement advisor does: build an income-first strategy, coordinate tax-efficient distributions, and plan for market drops and healthcare costs, urging listeners to ask better questions or seek a second opinion.

Gary continues his interview with economist Jerry Bowyer. Many details given in the Gospels are extremely important for a proper interpretation of what Jesus said and did and why. These historical and cultural clues are often overlooked, but they add depth and context to the New Testament that modern readers can and should apply to their reading and preaching of the Gospel.

https://teachhoops.com/ In every locker room, on every bus ride, and during every grueling defensive drill, your players fall into one of two categories: they are either Energy Givers or Energy Takers. This isn't about who scores the most points or who has the highest vertical; it's about the emotional and psychological "climate" a player creates around them. An Energy Giver is a "Force Multiplier"—someone who lifts the intensity of the gym just by stepping onto the floor. An Energy Taker is a "Vacuum"—someone who sucks the life out of a practice with a single eye-roll, a slumped shoulder, or a "me-first" attitude. As a coach, your most important cultural task is to identify these types early and ensure your Givers are the ones driving the bus. An Energy Giver is defined by "Active Enthusiasm." They are the players who "sprint to the huddle," who are the first to high-five a teammate after a missed free throw, and who "talk" on defense even when they are exhausted. They possess "Relational Awareness"—they know when a teammate is down and they instinctively move to pull them up. In the mid-season January grind, these are the players who keep your program from stagnating. They don't just follow the standard; they are the standard. They understand that energy is a choice, not a feeling, and they choose to invest it in the collective good. Energy Takers are often your most talented players, which makes them dangerous. Because they have "status," their negativity is contagious. They are defined by "Passive Resistance"—doing just enough to get by without ever fully "buying in." You'll see it in their "body language" after a turnover or hear it in the "quiet complaints" on the bench. An Energy Taker focuses on the "I" (their minutes, their shots, their fatigue) while the team is focused on the "We." If you allow an Energy Taker to dictate the mood of your practice, you are essentially letting a "leak" remain in your championship boat. You must be the "Chief Energy Officer" of your program. Use your next practice to perform an "Energy Audit." Don't look at the ball; look at the bench and the players transitioning between drills. Who is "filling the buckets" of their teammates? Who is "draining" them? Once you identify your Givers, publicly reward them. Make "Energy" a stat that you track as religiously as rebounds or assists. When your players realize that "Giving Energy" is a non-negotiable requirement for playing time, your culture will transform from a group of individuals into a high-voltage championship unit.

In this first part of an interview with author Jerry Bowyer, Gary discusses the economic and cultural arena of the first century. The Bible cannot be interpreted properly without a clear understanding of the times and customs of the people and places described in the text. As an example, Jerry helps add clarity to Jesus' words to the rich young ruler.

When most of us think about 911, we picture flashing lights and first responders arriving on the scene. But that fast emergency response starts somewhere else — with a person answering the phone. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a 911 call taker, a dispatcher, and the director of Minneapolis's 911 call center about what happens after the phone rings — how they gather critical details, move information through the system and send help where it's needed. Guests:Joni Hodne is the director of the 911 Emergency Dispatch Center in Minneapolis. She oversees the city's 911 operations, including staffing and training.Lori Patrick is a dispatcher who has been working at the 911 Emergency Dispatch Center in Minneapolis for over 30 years. She dispatches first responders in the field, relaying crucial information in real time. Ben Jacobs is a call taker for the 911 Emergency Dispatch Center in Minneapolis. He takes emergency calls, gathers critical information and often helps callers stay calm in emergencies.

God offers us a free gift of salvation to anyone who will believe, and we all have just as much opportunity to take Him up on the offer and be saved. The other part of that is His offer to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus, and that is a road far less traveled but even more rewarding.

Send a textThe world is in chaos. You don't have to be. Focusing on the controllables. And let him go of what you can't control. How top performers choose to block the noise. Also touch on that there's a little bit of negativity but good real estate agents are winning in all markets whether it's facing headwinds or having winds behind you good Real Estate agents adjust. And many grow their business businesses and times of chaos

Many businesses hire agencies to execute tasks: build a campaign, design an ad, launch a website. But the strongest agency relationships go beyond simple execution. A truly strategic agency sees itself as a partner in growth, focused on outcomes like revenue, customer acquisition, and brand positioning rather than just delivering assets.For Littlefield Agency, that partnership means asking “why” before saying “yes.” By understanding the real business objective, we can recommend the right solution and push back when we don't feel like something will move the needle. Strategic partners also think beyond individual campaigns, looking at the customer journey, competitive landscape, and the metrics that actually drive business growth. For us, these are also the best, most collaborative and rewarding relationships we have.So give this week's episode a listen and ask yourself, "does my agency act like an order taker or strategic partner?" If your answer is the latter, you got yourself a good one!See you next week for more Little Talks.— Sam, Roop, Claudia, and ChelseaTell us what you think!

The dance of wood rising (masculine) and ether (feminine) begings to emerge as the exchange between northern and southern hemisphere flips once more. The wood is offering new beginnings, ether clearing the lines of communication. Balancing the preamble for the dynamic reunion of the masculine and feminine coupled with the Feminine being welcomed to STAND UP. The wood energy is encouraging the TAKERS to STEP BACK. HUMBLE DOWN. All of which is welcoming humanity to remember their vibrational and human roles as it was designed to interface with this organic world system.

Kliq This is back with another 11Soft hangout that starts with Big Kev vs. the concept of "checkout time" and immediately spirals into hotel paranoia, road life rules, and the eternal question of whether your toothbrush has ever been through some things. From there, Kev and Sean pivot to the halftime show discourse, why certain "talking points" become white noise, and Kev's oddly wholesome reasoning for loving physics (because if he's leaving Earth, he's driving the spaceship himself). Then it gets heavier. Kev and Sean get into the Bondi hearing, "gaslighting" vs. lying, and the frustration of watching important information stay buried forever. After that, the show swings back into pure Kliq This chaos, including smoked old fashioneds, Vince McMahon as a scotch guy, travel stories that feel like a movie, WWE allegedly blocking WrestleMania watch parties in Vegas, and a Mount Ashmore draft for the best action movie stars.

7 Lies the Church Taught You About How Jesus Handled NarcissistsIf you've ever felt guilty for setting boundaries, saying no, or protecting your peace, it may not be conviction - it may be mis-teaching. In this episode, we expose seven common lies many Christians were taught about how Jesus handled narcissistic, controlling, or deceitful people - and why those teachings quietly keep believers stuck in guilt, exhaustion, and self-abandonment.Using Scripture and cultural context, we unpack what Jesus actually modeled: truth without appeasement, love with boundaries, forgiveness without forced reconciliation, and discernment over religious pressure. From “turn the other cheek” to “submit no matter what,” you'll learn how these verses are often misused - and how Jesus Himself confronted manipulation, walked away from danger, and protected His mission without sinning.This episode will help you release false guilt, reclaim biblical clarity, and follow Christ without sacrificing your God-given boundaries.

5 Signs God Is About to Judge the Narcissist Who Hurt YouHave you ever watched a manipulator twist reality so convincingly that you wondered when God would finally expose the truth? They may look untouchable for a season - but Scripture shows us that God's justice is never absent, only unfolding.In this episode, we unpack the biblical pattern behind manipulation through the story of Jezebel - not as a gendered label, but as a spiritual pattern still active today in relationships, families, workplaces, and even churches. You'll learn the four movements of God's justice, why His timing feels delayed, and what it actually means when God says, “Enough.”More importantly, we address where many believers go wrong - stepping into battles God never assigned—and how stepping back with wisdom, boundaries, and discernment allows God's justice to move with precision.This episode isn't about revenge. It's about restoration - God repairing what was damaged, uprooting confusion, healing your identity, and giving you peace the manipulator can no longer touch.

Will AI replace financial advisors—or make the best ones better? In this episode of Money Matters, Christopher Hensley sits down with Matt Halloran, author of Shut the F Up and Listen and Chief Evangelist at Zocks, to continue a conversation that began with one core idea: great advice starts with great listening. Now, that philosophy is colliding with a new reality—AI assistants. Matt explains why AI assistants won't replace financial advisors, but will raise the standard for what clients expect. From AI note-taking to tools that capture emotional cues, automate follow-ups, and turn conversations into actionable client intelligence, this episode breaks down what's actually changing—and what still belongs squarely in the human domain. You'll hear why AI assistants are helping advisors reclaim 10+ hours per week, how better recall builds deeper trust and referrals, and why the real risk isn't AI itself—but ignoring it while other advisors move ahead. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why AI note-takers are just the beginning How AI assistants capture details advisors miss during meetings The difference between generic AI tools and purpose-built advisor platforms Why better listening leads to stronger trust and referrals How advisors should reinvest the time AI gives back Why AI can actually help advisors become more human, not less Key Takeaway: AI won't replace financial advisors. Advisors who use AI well will replace those who don't. About the Guest Matt Halloran is the Chief Evangelist at Zocks and the author of Shut the F Up and Listen. With over two decades in financial services, Matt is known for helping advisors improve communication, client experience, and practice growth by blending behavioral insights with modern technology.

After a toxic or narcissistic relationship, it's easy to believe the dysfunction stayed with them. But sometimes, the relationship ends… and the patterns don't.In this episode, we unpack six toxic habits people unknowingly pick up from prolonged exposure to narcissistic behavior—and how to identify and dismantle them before they take root. Healing isn't just about recognizing what they did to you; it's about asking the harder question: Did any of it get on me too?If you're ready for deeper freedom, this conversation may be uncomfortable - but it's where real transformation begins.Grab your FREE Narcissist Survival Guide

2:03 Recapping the night honoring the 1999-2000 team.19:00 Dunk updateThen, We had a talk about YOUR takes. What's on your mind, Takers? 28:25 Dave's not here man‬ ‪@pacnwce.bsky.social‬ Take:  finding out Deni can produce like a star is the most important thing to happen to the Trail Blazers future since Cronin took over.  It's Deni's world, we're just living in it32:35 Octdesertlover‬ ‪@octdesertlover.bsky.social‬ You've probably seen this one from me before but......they should sell peppermint bark year round.  I know there are other peppermint chocolate stuff the rest of the year but peppermint bark > York peppermint patties.35:30 Jason‬ ‪@hecubus01.bsky.social‬ Ok, I've thought of one. Robert Williams won't be traded & will be signed to a team friendly deal in the off season.38:00  Jason ‪@hecubus01.bsky.social‬ Also the Golden Globes need to figure out some of their categories like what constitutes a comedy/musical nominee. Cinematic & Box office Achievement?! C'mon! You have the new Avatar nominated in that category & it hasn't even come out yet!41:30  ‪Pedro‬ ‪@linssenp.bsky.social‬ I wish the Blazers (and other sports teams) would be more forthcoming with information on players injuries and their progress/rehab. What's your take?Catherine‬ ‪@catrenzer.bsky.social‬ Sneak-attack cheering is not cool. What is that? When GS & Lakers fans flood Moda and don't cheer for their team until they gain a good lead in the 3rd or 4th Q, and come to life only when they are winning. If you are going to cheer for your team, do it (respectfully), winning or losing.‪53:29 Keanu_reevebooks‬ ‪@jamesgameboy.bsky.social‬ Here's a crazy one: I don't care if the Blazers ever win another championship. We currently have a roster full of guys that I like watching/hearing about. As long as they're competitive/progressing, that's what I want. (Obviously I don't want the players or front office to feel that way haha)58:00 ‪Mr. 503 Gavi HaCohen‬ ‪@gavihacohen.bsky.social‬ My take is that whatever Meredith Marks did on the airplane can't be that bad because the air marshals didn't get involved and im tired of hearing Heather talk about it like she's Jen Shah1:06 Rose's friend Chelsea: I feel like many people have this take, but it's honestly just refreshing to watch these guys play. Win or lose. The entire team seems to have a fight in them and I don't think that's something we've really seen in a long time. Even when Dame was on the team way back when it often felt like he was the only one holding us up. It feels like we have a team who plays together and not just a whole bunch of guys supporting one or two others.1:10:00 Die Mad (@playest.bsky.social ) Deni is our best player but the secret MVP is actually Sidy!Our best lineup for the season was when Sidy started.Deni is 6.1 points per 100 possessions better with Sidy on the floor than withoutSharpe is 7.1 points betterToumani is 6.3 points betterJerami is 14.6 points betterGood things happen when he is on the floor.1:13: 30 Rose's daughter:  Ollie is going to win MVP season 1:16 Rose's husband: my year-end take in honor of the late Rob Reiner: The Princess Bride is the greatest movie of all time and 2nd place isn't close1:20 Tara and Rose's takes

 6 Clues to Spot an Unsafe “Christian” — Before You Get HurtHave you ever trusted someone just because they seemed safe… only to realize later they were quietly draining your peace, joy, or confidence? Many people who wound us don't look toxic at first glance—some even wear a Christian label. But behind the smiles and Scripture quotes can hide patterns that God never intended for your life.In today's episode, we're breaking down the 6 subtle but undeniable clues that reveal when someone is not a safe Christian to let close to your heart. We'll talk about: • The friend who only shows up for one side of your life • The quiet scorekeeper who makes you feel indebted • The validation-seeker who drains your emotional energy • Hidden jealousy disguised as support • The person who can't admit their mistakes • And the guilt-tripping behaviors that twist your boundariesThese patterns are easy to miss—especially when the person appears kind, spiritual, or “means well.” But once you learn how to recognize these clues, you'll never have to say “I didn't see it coming” again.This episode will help you protect your peace, your spiritual growth, and the garden God is cultivating in your life.And when you're ready, don't miss the next episode where I show you the hidden habit that keeps attracting unsafe relationships into your life—and how to break it for good.Watch next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIpu5qUQ-NE&t=2sGrab my new book:
