Hybrid work. It's not going away. So the best thing we can do is learn how to make it most effective, whether you use it daily or just a couple of times a month. You need to consider a few things: How to prepare before the meeting even beginsThe best practices that can help you be clear, confident, and prepared Whether cameras need to be on or offUnderstand how to end effectivelyA lot of people start virtual meetings on a whim. This can work at times, but if you want your meetings to be purposeful, engaging, and you want people to come back in the future, there's a lot more that goes into making this happen. Don't skip the prep work simply because all you need to do is hit "start meeting".

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What does it actually take to build a culture that scales - one that doesn't collapse the moment you add a new layer of management or hire your 25th employee? In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Chris Dyer, bestselling author and CEO culture expert, to unpack the seven pillars of high-performance culture that work for startups and Fortune 100 companies alike. Chris shares why most founders accidentally destroy their culture by day 50, why your meetings are a direct mirror of your company's values, how to use a "cockroach meeting" to solve problems in 15 minutes or less, and the counterintuitive hiring rule he used to drive real innovation inside a 4,500-person organization. They also dig into the critical difference between mistakes and errors, why public recognition can backfire on introverts, and how the Gallup StrengthsFinder data revealed that his company was hiring the same person over and over - killing innovation from the inside out. Whether you're building your first team or scaling a franchise, this conversation gives you the frameworks, language, and tools to build a culture that attracts the right people, retains them, and makes them extraordinary. Topics covered: company culture, startup culture, employee recognition, meeting frameworks, hiring strategy, innovation, psychological safety, franchise ownership, leadership development, StrengthsFinder, remote teams, cultural uniqueness, tribal language, mistakes vs errors.  Guest: Chris Dyer  Guest YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChrisDyer  Guest Website: https://chrisdyer.com/  Guest Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisdyer7/    #CompanyCulture #LeadershipDevelopment #StartupGrowth #EmployeeEngagement #FranchiseBusiness #TeamBuilding #HiringStrategy #CultureCode #RemoteWork #BusinessLeadership #ChrisDyer #JeffDudan #WorkplaceCulture Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

https://heysammi.com/coaches Is the Best Sports Management App No App at All? Coaches don't lose parents because they “don't care.” They lose them because families are drowning in platforms, notifications, and logins. This episode breaks down the real reason team apps stop working by mid-season—and why Sammi was built around the one thing parents always read: text messages. Sammi is designed to handle roster, schedules, payments, and parent communication entirely through SMS, with no downloads and no logins. You post the schedule… and still get “What time is practice?” You update the app… and end up texting anyway You request RSVPs… and they show up late or not at all Parents say “I didn't see it” and they're not lying—your message got buried This isn't a “parent problem.” It's an attention problem. Most sports families are managing multiple sports, multiple teams, plus league and tournament info across different platforms. Notifications get muted, apps get buried, and parents default to whatever is already open on their phone: text. Sammi's entire “no app” idea is built around this reality: “parents do not want another app” and coaches end up texting anyway. Sammi isn't a “better app.” It's a team assistant by text. For coaches: Text Sammi what you need (schedule changes, reminders, RSVPs, payments) and she does the admin work. For parents: They receive a text, reply to a text, and their calendars stay synced (Google, Outlook, iCal). Key promise: “Coach more. Manage less. Download nothing.” Already required to use TeamSnap, SportsEngine, or something else? Sammi can work alongside your current platform and handle communication, calendars, and reminders automatically—so you get the upgrade without migrating everything. Fewer “Where do I find the schedule?” messages Less chasing payments and RSVPs manually Fewer late arrivals and fewer missed updates (because texts get read) More coaching energy—less admin exhaustion Sammi is launching Summer 2026, and coaches can join early to lock in founding coach pricing and get free during beta access. If you want better parent communication immediately: Time-sensitive info should be texted, not “posted” Send one clean weekly “Sunday night” message: schedule + changes + reminders When something changes, message it in one sentence: what / when / where If you want to see how it works for coaches and get early access:https://heysammi.com/coaches Show NotesEpisode SummaryThe Problem Coaches Recognize ImmediatelyWhy It HappensWhat Makes Sammi DifferentKeep Your Current Tools… or Use SammiWhat Changes for Your ProgramLaunch + Early AccessCoach Takeaways You Can Use Even Without SammiCall to Action Learn more about your ad choices.

We're talking about what true collaboration looks like across ABA teams and interdisciplinary professionals, including speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, and families.We explore why communication often breaks down when everyone is focused on separate goals, and how shared values can help create stronger partnerships that ultimately improve learner outcomes. From scheduling regular team meetings to reducing jargon and building trust over time, we share practical ways to create more connected and supportive teams.We also discuss common barriers like time constraints, differing communication styles, and misunderstandings between disciplines.

The most surprising leadership insights may not be found where you'd expect… In this episode, Céline sits down with Philip Atkinson, an organizational coach and beekeeper who has spent his career helping leaders around the world become better humans with better skills. Philip is also the author of Bee Wise: 12 Leadership Lessons from a Busy Beehive, a beautifully written book structured across the four seasons, blending the science of bees with the very human challenges of leading an organization. Philip and Céline explore why leadership is still so often rooted in command-and-control thinking – a model built for industrial-era machines, not the living, breathing organizations of today. They dig into what it really means to lead without having all the answers, why "busy" has become a dangerous badge of honor, and how slowing down to sense your environment (the way a beekeeper reads a hive before lifting the lid) can change the quality of every conversation and decision you make. They also get into the often-broken world of feedback: why so many leaders give it wrong, why the simple question "is now a good time?" is a game-changer, and how the bees' famous waggle dance is actually a masterclass in clear, consistent, repeated communication inside a noisy system.  If you're navigating constant change, holding your team together, and trying to lead well without pretending you have all the answers, this conversation is for you. Philip's message is simple and grounding: everyone deserves to be led well, and being a good leader starts with being a good human. Bee Wise is available wherever you purchase books, with all proceeds going to Bees for Development, a charity supporting families in developing countries through sustainable beekeeping businesses.

Trent and Matt continue their multi-part "skill and craft" hunting series, reflecting on woodsmanship, learning through failure, and the hard work of elk hunting. They discuss how confidence affects shooting, including experiences with target panic and a dangerous bow failure that created lasting doubt, emphasizing practice and equipment checks before season and after travel due to elevation changes. They outline a practical glassing method: quickly check close cover and perimeters, scan distant areas, then systematically work back through a unit, and stress the importance of quickly landmarking and communicating an animal's location to partners. They frame elk hunting as a team sport where shared "comms" and defined roles (like shooter/spotter) improve success, and they describe stalking and calling strategy: pin locations, consider wind/time, wait for bedding, avoid obstacles that cause hang-ups, and reposition rather than forcing a stalled bull. They close with plans for future guests and broader topics beyond hunting.

What if the most powerful clinical tool in healthcare wasn't a drug, a device, or a data platform — but a word? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt have a conversation that starts with Disney World germs and ends with something that will change the way you lead your team tomorrow. They unpack the idea of Intentional Positive Reinforcement — not the hollow "great job" you throw over your shoulder in the hallway, but the kind of deliberate, meaningful recognition that creates a ripple effect all the way to the patient's bedside. Matt shares what a dental hygienist taught him about doing things right, why a pair of clicking heels in a nursing home hallway was actually a leadership strategy, and what happens to a healthcare team that only ever hears what they're doing wrong. This is a conversation for the bedside nurse and the C-suite executive. For the credentialing specialist who never sees a patient and the clinical coordinator who sees dozens. Because in healthcare, everyone plays a role in the patient experience — and the way we lead people determines the care those people deliver. If you've ever wondered whether your words are adding to your team or subtracting from them, this episode is your answer.

In this episode, Michelle Affanato and Lauren Zano discuss the critical role of office managers in dental practices, the challenges they face, and the importance of effective communication and mentorship. They explore how office managers can help implement systems, facilitate teamwork, and navigate the complexities of patient care while also addressing the emotional labor involved in their roles. The conversation emphasizes the need for clear communication, intentional meetings, and the value of mentorship in fostering growth and development within dental practices.

What if silence in your team meetings isn't just about shyness or lack of ideas, but something everyone's been taught—often unconsciously—to protect themselves or others? In this episode, I sit down with Elaine Lin Hering, a top facilitator, global educator, and author of “Unlearning Silence,” to dig into the roots of silence and how leaders can transform it into true engagement.As the conversation kicks off, we tackle a fundamental leadership dilemma: despite constant encouragement to “speak up,” people often hold back. Why? Elaine reveals it's not just about courage or confidence. Silence is a learned survival strategy, which is often shaped by culture, hierarchy, and even unconscious organizational habits. Her own story, growing up as the youngest daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, shows how silence sneaks in early and sticks.Throughout the episode, we explore questions relating to real-world challenges such as how can you create a safe space for candor when your “resting face” or demeanour sets the wrong tone? Or, why do team members only give feedback after a decision is finalized. Elaine offers evidence-informed and practical answers to these situations.The takeaway is clear: Strong leadership means recognizing that silence is not always golden—and that by unlearning it, we unlock deeper connection, better decisions, and a future not bound by the past. What You'll Learn- Silence is learned… and it's often unintentional.- Unlearning silence is an ongoing process.- Explicit clarity is critical for leaders.- How to reframe your view of your voice.- The mode and medium of communication matter.- What is obvious to you may be the insight someone else is looking for.Podcast Timestamps(00:03) - The Origins of Unlearning Silence(05:46) - The Process of Unlearning Silence(09:10) - Agency and the Value of Voice(15:59) - The RACI Framework(19:16) - How Communication Mode and Process Influence Voice(24:10) - Surfacing Feedback and Pre-Empting Silence(32:08) - Imposter Syndrome or Imposter Treatment?(41:47) - When Is Silence Golden?(46:52) - Explicitly Creating Psychological SafetyKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Self-Awareness, Feedback, Personal Growth, Leading with Intention, Unlearning silence, Employee Voice, Power Dynamics, Decision-Making Frameworks, RACI Model, Team Communication, Self-Silencing, Imposter Syndrome, Psychological Safety, Personal Growth, CEO Success

In this Your Health University episode, Jamie sits down with Colin Stevens, Director of Engagement at Your Health, for a practical and honest conversation about communication—what it is, why it breaks down, and how leaders can immediately improve it. Colin reframes communication as understanding, not just delivery, explains why tone is the packaging that determines whether a message gets opened, and explores how ego blocks empathy in moments of conflict. The episode ends with a simple, powerful challenge: if you want to elevate your career and relationships, start by becoming a better listener. www.YourHealth.Org

By naming impact, taking responsibility, and restoring clarity and predictability, leaders can rebuild trust without losing authority and create steadier, healthier teams even under pressure.Sign up for the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseLearn about the Staff Sustainability System a proven system to reduce burnout at the rootResources: Rising Strong by Brene BrownOther related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:Episode 2: Authority Without FearEpisode 1: What Stress Does to Decision MakingThe Pause Between Now and NextLeading From a Regulated CoreDesigning Rhythms that RegulateWhen Culture DysregulatesGrowth & Feedback Without FearOnboarding as Co-RegulationPolicy as a Nervous SystemWhy Women in Leadership MicromanageThe Regulated Organization: What it Means to be a Regulated OrganizationRetain: Sustaining Staff, Culture, and CapacityReset: Moving from Relief to Real TransformationOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingUniversity of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

In this raw and powerful conversation, Rhett reveals why self-talk is the most ignored driver of leadership performance and shares practical strategies for managing the mental noise that kills focus, concentration, and culture.

Episode Highlights: [2:10] The Seven-Year Journey to Head of Metals - Rhett shares the intensive process of writing Head of Metals with co-authors Ryan Gottfredson and Dr. Susie Burkin, including seven rewrites over seven years.

[14:57] The Three C's: Catch, Challenge, Change - Rhett breaks down the simple but powerful framework for managing self-talk: Catch it (notice harmful narratives), Challenge it (question if it's true, useful, or even yours), and Change it (replace destructive narratives with grounded thinking). He provides a practical exercise: write down your negative narratives and track them with check marks to identify patterns. [16:38] The Plutonium Problem: When Leader Self-Talk Infects Teams - Discover why negative self-talk is like plutonium—toxic, powerful, and invisible.

In this episode, Ray explores one of the most overlooked leadership disciplines in advisory firms: off-boarding with intention, respect, and alignment. While most teams invest heavily in creating world-class onboarding experiences, few bring the same rigor to the moment when a team member exits. Ray shares why offboarding is not about correcting failure—it's about stewardship. When leaders navigate departures with clarity, dignity, and structure, they strengthen the culture, protect client relationships, and create space for the team to evolve.Through a candid example from his own team, Ray demonstrates how mutual clarity, co-creation, and a disciplined framework can turn a transition into an empowering moment for both the departing individual and the organization. He also walks through a seven-part offboarding framework inspired by SHRM best practices and years of coaching elite advisory firms, offering a practical blueprint firms can use to elevate their own internal processes.Ray closes with coaching questions leaders can use to refine hiring, strengthen feedback loops, and ensure that offboarding reinforces, not erodes, the culture they've worked hard to build.Key TakeawaysOffboarding is about stewardship, respect, and protecting your culture.Fit and alignment matter as much as skills.Clear, honest communication prevents surprises during transitions.Use a structured offboarding framework to stay consistent and professional.How you handle goodbyes shapes your culture just as much as onboarding.For more information click here to visit the Best in the Business Blog.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

I've experienced my fair share of turmoil in life, both business and personal. What that has taught me is that chaos and friction are the biggest indicators that change is necessary. In this episode, I'll share what you can do to mitigate friction and achieve the transformation that will take you one step further on your journey.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:Embrace the Chaos: Depending on what experiences you've had, you may not take kindly to chaos. My encounters, however, have led me to understand that I must first embrace the disorder and identify the root of the chaos. Instead of desperately fighting or rejecting the chaos, acknowledging it as a symbol of change is the way to go.Team Communication is Key: When I'm facing chaos, I prefer to communicate with my team and discuss how we can collaborate to reduce the friction. I've found that this leads not only to effective solutions but also builds a stronger knit and more optimal network which prevents problems from reoccurring. Master Your Methodology: I focus on seamless integration of sales and marketing to streamline my business operations. A well-executed marketing strategy ensures your audience knows, likes, and trusts you, simplifying the sales process and driving revenue. I always say excellent marketing without ample work in sales is like walking away from a gold mine.Ready to Master Your Mindset, Mission, and Message?If today's episode spoke to you, don't just listen—step behind the curtain and join the Journey Feed.

When you think August, you think busy. For most churches, the ministry season ramps up as people return to church after the summer. It's back-to-school for families, and people are getting overloaded by communication—from the schools, teachers, doctors, teams and YOU. In this series, we're tackling three areas where we believe churches could take it up a notch and be the best-in-class organization when it comes to how you communicate with both insiders and outsiders. We're kicking off this series by talking about internal communication. If staff/team communication is a mess, it's nearly impossible to become excellent at communicating with the congregation, volunteers or people in the community. In this episode, Amy and Sean share areas where churches could improve communication with their staff.    This Episode is Sponsored by Planning Center Do the visitors at your church know exactly where to go and what to do when they visit for the first time?

https://teachhoops.com/ Winning in basketball often comes down to mastering the end of game management. This critical phase requires a blend of strategic thinking, calm execution, and unwavering focus from both coaches and players. Every possession in the final minutes (or even seconds) carries immense weight, and a single mistake can easily turn a victory into a defeat. Effective end-game management isn't just about drawing up a final play; it encompasses everything from timeout usage and foul strategy to shot selection and defensive assignments, all under immense pressure. For coaches, end-of-game management means meticulously planning for various scenarios. This includes knowing when to call a timeout to advance the ball, stop the clock, or draw up a specific play. It also involves understanding the foul situation: who has fouls to give, when to intentionally foul, and how to avoid unnecessary fouls. On the player side, it's about disciplined execution: taking smart shots, securing rebounds, valuing every possession, and playing fundamentally sound defense without gambling. Communication, especially under duress, becomes paramount, ensuring everyone is on the same page and understands their role in those high-stakes moments.

Deniz Ari: Stakeholder Management Rhythms for Successful Scrum Masters Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. For Deniz, successful Scrum Masters create environments with positive team dynamics, easy communication, and a focus on continuous improvement that leads to valuable deliverables. The key indicators include whether team members can speak freely, whether there's trust between team members, and if the team feels like "a safe place to fail." Deniz recommends admitting your own mistakes in front of the team to model vulnerability, continuously observing team interactions, and noticing whether teams openly discuss obstacles. For stakeholder management, Deniz suggests establishing regular catch-up calls with leaders to keep team messages in the conversation and setting up routine discussions with stakeholders to maintain alignment. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: The Worst Retro Deniz shares a playful yet effective retrospective format called "The Worst Retro," conducted using a MURAL board. The session begins with an energy/mood check to establish the team's current state. Then it moves into three key sections: what team members remember from the sprint, how they could make the next sprint worse, and finally deciding what actions to take next. Deniz explains that the power of this approach lies in using humor to discuss serious problems—by asking how to make things worse, team members can indirectly highlight what's already not working. This format creates an informal, relaxed environment where people feel comfortable addressing challenging topics that might otherwise remain unspoken. Self-reflection Question: How might introducing an element of humor or "reverse thinking" help your team discuss problems they've been avoiding in traditional retrospective formats?
