What do Bigfoot and credit reports have in common? They're each the subject of many myths.We don't know much about 8-foot furry creatures, but we can dispel some of the folklore about credit and credit reports. Neile Simon is here to help us do that today.Neile Simon is a Certified Credit Counselor with Christian Credit Counselors (CCC), an underwriter of Faith & Finance.If you've ever wondered whether closing a credit card boosts your score or if credit counseling hurts your credit, you're not alone. Let's dive into these common misconceptions and separate fact from fiction.Myth #1: Paying Off Debt Instantly Improves Your Credit ScoreIt's a common belief that paying down debt will immediately result in a perfect credit score. However, credit improvement takes time because credit scores are based on your payment history.Reality: Your credit report gives lenders a snapshot of how responsibly you've managed debt over time. Consistently paying bills on time is the best way to build and maintain a strong score—but it won't happen overnight.Tip: Be cautious of anyone claiming they can “fix” your credit instantly. No legitimate company can erase negative (but accurate) information from your credit history overnight.Myth #2: Credit Counseling Destroys Your Credit ScoreMany people worry that seeking credit counseling will harm their credit score.Reality: Enrolling in a credit counseling program is a neutral mark on your credit report and does not directly affect your score. Closing accounts impacts your score, so working with an accredited nonprofit organization is essential to develop a plan that keeps your credit intact. That's why Christian Credit Counselors is the only organization we recommend for credit counseling and debt management. Tip: Avoid paying for expensive credit monitoring or identity protection services. You can monitor your credit for free through reputable sources.Myth #3: Canceling Credit Cards Boosts Your ScoreMany people believe that closing old or unused credit cards is a responsible move, but it can actually hurt their credit scores.Reality: Lenders want to see two or three active credit lines. Closing credit cards reduces your available credit, which can negatively impact your score by increasing your credit utilization ratio (the percentage of available credit you're using).Tip: Keep zero-balance accounts open unless they charge an annual fee. If you must close an account, do so gradually—perhaps one every six months—to minimize the temporary impact on your score.Myth #4: Too Many Inquiries Hurt Your ScoreWhile excessive hard inquiries (when lenders check your credit for a loan or credit card application) can lower your score, not all inquiries count against you.Reality: Credit bureaus recognize rate shopping—for example, when you're comparing mortgage or auto loan rates. If you make multiple inquiries within a 45-day window, they count as one single inquiry, not multiple.Tip: Always shop around for the best loan terms without worrying about multiple hits to your credit score.Myth #5: Checking Your Own Credit Report Hurts Your ScoreMany consumers avoid checking their credit reports because they fear it will negatively impact their scores.Reality: Checking your own credit is a "soft inquiry" and does not affect your score. Only "hard inquiries" (such as applying for a loan or credit card) can impact your score.Tip: Review your credit report every 6–12 months to catch errors or fraud early. Get a free report from AnnualCreditReport.com, the only official site for free credit reports.Myth #6: Credit Scores Are Locked In for Six MonthsSome believe their credit score is only updated periodically, leading to confusion when making financial decisions.Reality: Your credit score is dynamic, meaning it updates as new information is reported—not every six months. Changes in balances, payments, and account activity can impact your score as soon as they are reported by creditors.Tip: If you're working on improving your score, be patient and consistent—your efforts will show over time.Myth #7: If I Pay My Bills on Time, I Don't Need to Check My Credit ReportIt seems logical that paying your bills on time means your credit report is in good shape. But that's not always the case.Reality: 80% of credit reports contain errors. Mistakes like incorrect account information or fraudulent activity can damage your score even if you've never missed a payment.Tip: Check your credit report at least once a year to identify errors and dispute inaccuracies before they hurt your financial standing.Myth #8: All Credit Reports Are the SameMany people assume that if they check one credit report, they've seen them all.Reality: There are three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—and they all calculate scores differently. Some lenders may pull from only one bureau, while others check all three.Tip: Review reports from all three bureaus to get a complete picture of your credit history and spot discrepancies.Myth #9: A Divorce Decree Automatically Removes You from Joint AccountsDivorce proceedings often divide assets and debts, but that does not automatically separate joint accounts.Reality: If you and your former spouse share a loan or credit account, both of you remain responsible for the debt—even if a court assigns the balance to one person.Tip: To protect yourself, close joint accounts or refinance loans to remove your ex-spouse's name. Simply relying on a court order won't protect your credit.Myth #10: Bad Marks Automatically Disappear After Seven YearsMany assume that negative information automatically falls off their report after seven years, but it's more complicated than that.Reality: Some items, like Chapter 7 bankruptcies, remain on your report for 10 years, while Chapter 13 bankruptcies stay for seven years. Paid-off accounts in good standing can remain for 10 years, which benefits your credit history.Tip: If you have negative marks on your report, focus on building positive credit habits to minimize their impact over time.Myth #11: I Can Pay Someone to “Fix” My CreditCredit repair companies often promise quick fixes, but many of their claims are misleading.Reality: No company can legally remove accurate negative information from your credit report. If a debt is legitimately yours, it will stay on your report until its expiration date.Tip: You can dispute errors yourself for free. Christian Credit Counselors provides free resources and sample dispute letters to help you correct inaccuracies.The Truth About Credit ReportsUnderstanding your credit report and score is essential for financial success. By debunking these myths, you can take control of your credit and make informed financial decisions.Check your credit report regularly for errorsKeep credit card accounts open to maintain a strong scoreShop around for loans without worrying about multiple inquiriesWork with trusted advisors, not credit repair scamsIf you're struggling with credit card debt, Christian Credit Counselors can help.

Being part of large groups can be positive — offering social connections, shared experiences, and support — but it also comes with potential risks. Here are some key points to be aware of and strategies to stay safe:Groupthink:People in groups may adopt the majority's opinion without critical thinking. This can lead to poor decision-making or ignoring individual instincts.Tip: Trust your gut and speak up if something feels wrong.Peer Pressure:Larger groups can create pressure to conform, sometimes pushing individuals into risky behavior.Tip: Set personal boundaries and don't be afraid to step back.Loss of Individual Identity:In big groups, people may feel anonymous, leading to impulsive or irresponsible actions.Tip: Stay aware of your values and avoid situations that compromise them.Emotional Contagion:Emotions (especially anxiety, excitement, or aggression) can spread rapidly in crowds.Tip: Practice mindfulness — take a moment to pause and assess your feelings.Crowd Crush:In densely packed spaces (like concerts, football matches, or protests), people can get trapped or crushed.Tip: Identify exit points early, stay on the edges of dense crowds, and avoid pushing if movement becomes restricted.Pickpocketing & Theft:Crowded areas are prime targets for opportunistic crime.Tip: Keep valuables secure, use zippered pockets, and avoid displaying expensive items.Scams & Manipulation:Large groups can create confusion, making it easier for scammers to operate.Tip: Be cautious of strangers asking for money or offering deals that seem too good to be true.Exclusion & Cliques:In social groups, smaller cliques can form, sometimes leading to feelings of isolation.Tip: Engage with different people rather than sticking to one small circle.Exploitation & Control:Certain groups, especially in social movements or fandoms, can manipulate emotions or exploit members.Tip: Question motives if you feel pressured to contribute money, time, or loyalty beyond what's reasonable.✅ Identify exit routes or safe spaces upon arrival.✅ Stick with trusted friends if you're in an unfamiliar crowd.✅ Trust your instincts — if a situation feels unsafe, leave.✅ Stay calm during emergencies; panicking can worsen crowd dynamics.✅ Maintain personal boundaries — it's okay to say no.Psychological RisksPhysical RisksEmotional & Social RisksSafety Tips for Navigating Big Groups

Fear and Forks: Navigating Unhealthy Pressures on Your Weight Loss Journey So you've embarked on a brave and admirable quest: to improve your health through weight loss. But amidst the excitement, a shadow looms – the fear of social pressures and lack of support. You're not alone. Let's delve into these common anxieties and explore tools to combat them: Fear #1: "The Guilt Trip": Imagine declining cake at a friend's gathering, only to be met with accusatory "Are you on a diet?" or concerned "You look too thin!" These comments, though often unintentional, can trigger guilt and derail your resolve. Tip: Prepare your response! Practice a polite, firm statement like, "I'm making some healthy choices, but thanks for the offer!" Emphasize your personal journey, not a restrictive diet. Fear #2: "The Peer Pressure Party": Social gatherings often revolve around food, and opting for healthier choices can feel isolating. The pressure to indulge with the group can be immense. Tip: Be proactive! Offer to bring a healthy dish to share, suggest alternative activities like walks or games, or gracefully excuse yourself for healthier pursuits. Remember, true friends will respect your choices. Fear #3: "The Familial Friction": Home, unfortunately, isn't always a haven for support. Family meals might not cater to your new choices, leading to tension and discouragement. Tip: Open communication is key. Explain your goals and needs calmly, suggest healthier modifications for family meals, and involve them in your journey. Seek understanding, not perfection. Fear #4: "The Sabotage Syndrome": You might encounter individuals who offer "help" in the form of unhealthy treats or dismissive comments. This can be incredibly disheartening. Tip: Set boundaries politely but firmly. Explain how their actions impact you and suggest alternative ways to offer support. Remember, you can't control others, but you can control your reaction. Beyond the Fears: Building Your Support System: Remember, your weight loss journey is yours. Don't let fear or negativity dictate your path. By acknowledging these anxieties, developing coping mechanisms, and building a supportive network, you can navigate social pressures and turn them into fuel for your success. Take a deep breath, believe in yourself, and remember, every healthy choice is a step towards a happier, healthier you!

As a lawyer, the pressure to succeed and maintain a certain level of professionalism can be overwhelming. The recent suicide of a fellow attorney who was publicly called out in a Facebook group for being disbarred is a stark reminder of the need for mental health awareness and self-care in the legal profession.In addition to the stress of practicing law, running a law firm, and paying off student debt, it's important to recognize the need to charge a fair price for legal services to avoid undervaluing one's services. But what about the adversarial nature of the profession? Why do attorneys feel the need to be so aggressive towards each other? It's important to resist the urge to pass on negative information about other attorneys and instead reach out with kindness and support.At the end of the day, mental health and fairness should be at the forefront of every legal practice. Let's strive for growth and success while also taking care of ourselves and each other.04:30 How suicide can be prevented by reaching out to those in need.08:58 The differences in how each state handles bar complaints and the surprising automatic bar complaint for malpractice10:19 Undervaluing one's worth, and the importance of making a viable living19:50 Being kind and supportive to fellow attorneys, even if they have been disbarred or suspendedJim's Hack: Book by Dr. Ben Hardy and Dan Sullivan 10x Is Easier than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing LessTyson's Tip: Be kind to each other. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals in the United States.

 PLANT DOCTOR     Germinating Native Seed Australian plants have evolved over thousands of years to respond to a variety of climatic extremes, from fires, to droughts to floods as well as being grazed by native animals.   Wattle seeds need boiling water treatment Such a long, long time  for plants to evolve as well as being isolated from the rest of the world has meant that a high diversity of flora abounds, so that it would be unusual to think that everything grows the same way. Australian plants have developed various  adaptations so that the seeds of which can grow in the most suitable environment for that species of plant to survive.  A suitable environment often means seeds don't germinate until a bushfire removes competing plants giving the seeds more access to sunlight and nutrients. Then they only have a short window to germinate.  The hard seed coat is therefore a protective layer that allows the seed to stay dormant for great lengths of time, even years before germination.   So how do plants keep germinating and what tricks have native seeds to keep them alive until conditions are right?   There are specific requirements for some seeds and in fact a wide range of native seeds require you, the gardener to break their dormancy before they germinate. Some are more difficult than others. So what are some of the treatments to break native seed dormancy? Boiling water or hot water treatment is recommended for hard-coated seeds such as Acacia (wattle)and Hardenbergia  species . This involves boiling some water and waiting for a minute so it's just off the boil,  then soaking the seeds for a few to eight hours. The time varies depending on the seed.   Smoke chemical treatment or smoke treatment to break the dormancy of native seeds. Wildflower seed starter granules or similar, are vermiculite or another bio material that contains the smoke chemicals from the burning of bush materials. The way you use it is to sprinkle some on top of the potting mix after sowing the seeds, and on the first watering, the smoke chemicals are released over the seeds.   You can also put some of these seed starter granules in the soaking water of the seeds in the hot water treatment method. Not all seeds need smoke chemical treatment, but there's a few that benefit from using it, in fact are difficult to germinate without it. Sturt Desert peas comes to mind, also Dianella, Philotheca, Xanthorrhoea, Actinotus, Callistemon and Banksia.   As a general rule, sowing and smoking should be done when you would expect the seeds to germinate in nature. Flannel flowers   Both these methods basically speeds up what often takes months or even years in nature to get seeds to germinate.   TIP: Be aware of the germination temperature that seeds need to germinate. But what other tricks are there? Steve talks about germinating Davidson plum seeds using the hot water treatment in the podcast.   So let's find out more. I'm talking with Steve McGrane, horticulturist and agriculturist. I hope that's given you some idea about perhaps why some of the native seeds are more difficult to germinate than regular seeds. In fact not everything germinates the same way, and here lies the problem. That's why a bit of research into the seed type you're trying to germinate goes a long way. If you have any questions you can email us Realworldgardener@gmail.com or write in to 2rrr, PO Box 644 Gladesville NSW 1675.

Estate sale shopping is an exercise in creativity. It's about connecting the dots of the stories behind the treasures you find. Welcome to The JOY Series on the Dear Daughters Podcast! I want you to have the joy in your life that you are seeking. So we're going to talk about the secrets to getting more joy in your everyday life by creating a home you love. This week, Tori Dear is with me to talk about the joy of antiques, thrifting, and estate sale shopping. Listen in as we talk about everything from my favorite estate sale finds and stories to my estate sale routine (including a McDonald's coffee run of course) and tips that may help you in your estate sale endeavors. I hope this inspires you to explore new places and I hope that you find little treasures that bring a bit more joy to your home. But, here are just a few of my top secrets to shopping an estate sale well. 1. Find a website that works for you with tracking down estate sales in your area! I use EstateSales.Net, plug in my zip code, and see what's coming up in my area. Typically estate sales are posted in the middle or towards the end of the week for upcoming weekends. (Tip: Be sure to check through the photos they post too and see if anything catches your eye! You can normally tell pretty quickly if they have treasures that look like something you'd love.) 2. If you do see something that you absolutely have to have be sure to get there a minute or two early! Some estate sales have folks lining up at the door before they open at 9am- or something even 8am! 3. Be willing to get creative! Sometimes treasures come in the form of the $1.00 section in the garage. I especially love for vintage aluminum loaf pans. I snag these and then find an alternative way to use them— like storage for ziplock bags. You can use the link below to hear even more tips to estate sales!

Conscious marketers are invested in making an impact. The transformation space is about helping people discover their purpose and passions. Today's guest is Eiji Morishita, Chief Movement Maker who is great at both. He shares strategies and best practices to start, grow and lead a movement. He considers it the absolute best marketing strategy for businesses looking to make an impact. How can you create a movement? A movement must come from an inspired place. It starts with a vision and needs to be greater than what you can do on your own. Others will want to help when they see how they can fit into the bigger plan. Tip: Follow the feeling. Fear will show up. Eiji shares that's when you know you have something to learn. Keep moving forward. Take action until you get a sign to stop. Inspired action is the beginning. Obstacles will arise. It's important to continue to move forward. When you take the next step solutions show up with a dose of support from the Universe. Eiji explains how this has worked for him in a project that went from giving out free hugs to building schools with recycled materials. The incredible impact that followed wasn't part of the original inspired plan. He shares how it was exactly the path required, in an unpredictable and unexpected way. Tip: Be fast, be fluid, be flexible. “It's in the adjustments that gets results.” Why is a movement such a great strategy? Morishita defines movement as: an active community that takes action. When a person in the community takes the values and vison as their own. 3 Trends that support a movement. The rise of activism. Get people motivated to take action. Conscious consumerism. People are voting with their dollars. The reputation economy matters. We trust each other more than advertisers. The three phases of growth: Ideation and monetization. Lead ourselves. This is where you find out what works. What will people pay for? Can you find investors or begin to build a community? Lead others. Once you know what works, build teams, and put systems in place. Lead leaders. Receive a return on your investment financially and/or create a ripple of impact. Movement makers without martyrdom is sustainable. In the past people with a mission often felt that it couldn't be profitable, or it had to come at the expense of family life. When you use the 3 phases, it's sustainable because it's profitable as well as making an impact. Find your first follower. It starts with a few people. Empower them to take the idea and spread it with you and beyond you. When you have a shared vision, collaboration allows ideas to spread. Who am I to start and/or lead a movement? If you have a vision the best way to start is taking step one. Connect with like-minded people (subscribe to this podcast for continued support) and find an environment where you can thrive. The best time to begin? Today. If you aren't ready to start your own, join a movement! Find out how you can help while you learn how to create your own.

Episode Title: “Chaotic Holiday Eating” Intro: In this episode, Tracy interviews Stacy Schilter-Pisano, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Eating Disorders Specialist / Supervisor, and Site Manager at The Emily Program in Lacey, WA. Stacy and Tracy help listeners understand why some people struggle with food, eating and body image, especially during the Holidays.     Why do people experience chaos around food, especially during the Holidays? Internal Stressors = Thoughts that are distressing. 60% of the time, people are thinking: What did I eat? What will I eat? What do I look like? What do I weigh? External Stressors = Situations or events that happen in the world that are distressing Family togetherness when family members make negative comments Isolation from family or friends during the time of expected togetherness Financial concerns Busy Schedules, School and Work Returning home from college during the holidays and facing possible judgment Family comments about how your body has changed (appearance-related comments) COVID-19 and the impact of isolation on our body shape and size TIP: Be aware of / avoid any appearance-related comments (i.e. “You’ve got that COVID-19” or “You look great…you’ve lost weight”) TIP: Focus your comments on the person, and who they are (vs. what they look like) Food-Related Stressors: Family Comments about Food “I shouldn’t be eating this” or “Today is my cheat day” TIP: Enjoy the food and the company without excessive comments or pressure on yourself or others “What you’re eating doesn’t look very good” or “You can really put it away” TIP: Be mindful of your comments on someone else’s eating experiences “You need to eat more (or less)” TIP: Be supportive! Keep your loved ones out of the spotlight “I’ll need to work this meal off later” TIP: Keep the focus off the effects of the food – appreciate food and family “I’ll starve myself for the big meal, then go to town eating.” TIP: This effects blood sugar, and sets us up for overeating later. It’s best to regulate your eating all the time to keep blood sugar regulated.   Fear Foods: Look at the Pie! Pie Thought #1: “I’m afraid of the pie.” Pie Thought #2: “I never get pie. I want pie!” Pie Thought #3: “This pie will make me gain weight” Pie Thought #4: “This pie will make me behave in ways I don’t want!” Pie Thought #5: “Am I expected to eat this pie?” Pie Thought #6: “Who made the pie? What’s in it?” Pie Thought #7: “What will people think if they see me eating the pie?” Pie Thought #8: “Someone expects me to eat this pie now!” Pie Thought #9: “Maybe this pie isn’t so bad…it has fruit in it.” Pie Thought #10: “What are the ingredients? Is the pie safe?” Pie Thought #11: “I’ll avoid the unhealthy crust” TIPS to handle internal, external and food-related chaos TIP: Attend to your body’s actual experience of hunger and fullness TIP: Speak the truth about your hunger and fullness TIP: Think about and enforce your own food boundaries TIP: Honor and respect your own food choices, and the choices of others TIP: Empower each other to make our own wise choices with food TIP: Stay on your own plate! TIP: Know who is at your table and cope ahead (try not to “catastrophize”) TIP: Have a safety plan and / or a support person to contact TIP: Take a breath and consider leaving the area for a bit TIP: Talk yourself through it like a best friend would TIP: View yourself through a compassionate, non-judgmental lens – be kind to yourself! Bonus Tips Stay out of the WEB Avoid comments about Weight Avoid comments about Eating Behaviors Avoid comments about body weight, size and shape Approach your loved ones for support Practice body attunement, noticing hunger and fullness and responding appropriately Set and keep food boundaries Be non-judgmental, compassionate and flexible Practice mindfulness for flexibility (our pets can teach us!)

Video marketing is a powerful tool to connect with new leads and convert clients. In 2019, users spent a weekly average of six hours and 48 minutes watching online videos. And this number can only be expected to increase in 2020. Social media videos have steadily gained popularity, evidenced by the rise of Tik Tok and the launch of Instagram Reels.   YouTube and Facebook are the social media kings of video content and video marketing, but Chris Weiher prefers LinkedIn. Chris is the owner of Cleaver Creative, a video production firm that helps brands turn viewers into buyers. Chris’s video edit company was being driven by word of mouth, but he knew he needed to start marketing to attract new business. He was familiar with the power of video and realized it’s true strength when he used video marketing for LinkedIn.     “There are so many professionals who are there with a purpose to build their business, find a new job or network with other professionals,” says Chris. In addition, LinkedIn still delivers strong organic engagement. LinkedIn videos are a great way to market your business to a targeted audience.   In this episode with Chris, we discuss the importance of video marketing, leveraging video for social media, how to create the content your audience really wants, and how to avoid the 5 biggest mistakes people make using video marketing.   Partner: 1 Question Marketing Survey for New Event Key Takeaways  Helping business owners with videos for LinkedIn Why LinkedIn marketing works better than other social media platforms.

Instead of just hoping they're ok with their headphones in their room change the environment to keep them safe: e.g Homework in kitchen, phones out of rooms.   “It’s not just can you fix my kid, it’s can you fix the family model.”   To support the podcast go and treat yourself to something special at my Neals Yard Shop:   uk.nyrorganic.com/shop/debijohn Free 200ml shower gel for orders over £50 this week.

When I sat down with professional counselor and coach Chelsey Brooke, I was impressed at her eloquence and expertise. She shared insights into the introverted mindsets and motivations that I believe can be the foundation for so many of us to become better, more mindful leaders. As Maya Angelou stated, “When you know better, you do better,” much of what Chelsey shared can be a call to action for leaders to really get to know their team members so that they can help dramatically increase their ability to cultivate mutually meaningful work engagements. In a business world where extraverts can often seize the spotlight – helping introverts learn to come from a place of power, work with their strengths, and find an authentic path they can be passionate about is exactly why I wanted to have her on the show. Misunderstanding and misinterpretation can be two big obstacles for introverts. From an extravert's point of view, not speaking up, sitting in silence, or not being gregarious in a meeting or office situation can be mislabeled as a poor team player or lackluster contributor. When in fact, more often than not, the exact opposite is true. Introverts tend to be extremely organized and take the time to process information with incredible thoroughness. Those are positives, not negatives. As leaders, know that there are three empowering ways we can help introverts let go of those labels (internally and externally), feel more confident in the workplace, and use their strengths to best serve the team as a whole. Chelsey calls them the three P's: Prepare: As deep-thinkers and planners, introverts tend to be uncomfortable with spontaneity. That's where preparation can be a powerful ally – especially for important meetings and projects. Tip: Make room in your timelines for the introvert's high level of preparedness and you'll most likely be rewarded with results that are well defined by critical thinking and thorough analysis. Participate: What's important to remember is how critical non-verbal communication is in the workplace. Introverts tend to participate most through eye-contact, attention, nods, smiles, and observation. Leaders who are more aware of the personality types of their employees recognize and reward this contribution as much so as the more verbal extravert's. Tip: Be aware that introverts often feel awkward about interrupting. Ask one-on-one ahead of a meeting if there is something they'd like to share up front, or something you can acknowledge for them. That kind of consideration will glean you the feedback you need at a comfort level that doesn't feel awkward or intimidating. Plan: For most introverts, constant engagement with other people is draining and distracting. Tip: Allow them to schedule energy-boosting breaks where they can recoup and recover. Another strategy is to suggest they have a posted schedule of their availability on their door or cubicle. That helps minimize work stress and helps team members stay on task for projects without distractions that can derail productivity. (Side note: I personally find this super-helpful regardless of personality type!) One of the things I really admire about Chelsey and a top reason I invited her to be a guest was her work and advocacy for introverted women. Her systems and solutions empower introverted women to not only excel in the workplace, but to truly create a life and career that is founded in their passion, fuels their confidence, and become their own best advocates. Ultimately, as leaders, regardless of industry – our job is to be an excellent steward of the people under our care and supervision. The more aware we are of not just their motivators, but their challenges as well, the more cohesive and effective team we can both build and sustain. Step one is to get rid of those pre-conceived notions, labels, and language. Some introverts go through life feeling like something is wrong with them, which is only exacerbated by what can feel like an endless barrage of, “you should speak up more”, “get out of your shell”, “you're too quiet” advice from (hopefully) well-meaning extraverts around them. Create a culture and environment in your organization that encourages empathy and advocacy over judgement and stereotypes. That kind of culture shift comes from the top. Lead by example. Step two is to encourage education. Perhaps surprisingly, many people have never even taken an assessment. They don't label themselves introvert or extravert. They just know what works for them – and what REALLY DOESN'T work for them. Encourage open discussion with your team members to share that kind of information with you and with fellow team members. Take some time, or even provide some training, so that people can ascertain their personal best ways to contribute successfully to the team so there's a win-win for everyone. Step three is to help people recognize their strengths. Truly, some of the traits that introverts tend to judge themselves the most about are really strengths in disguise. Scientifically, introverts don't make those snap decisions or reactions because they are hard-wired to use longer and more complex pathways in the brain to process information. Through encouragement and skilled communication, you can show them how much their organization, thoughtfulness, and attention are highly beneficial to your organization's success and applaud them for those strengths. Often, the traits most associated with leadership are extraverted in nature: gift of gab, super-connector, direct, assertive, big and bold personalities. Think about what introverts bring to the table however: kindness, quiet, understanding, and empathetic. In the world we live in, don't we really need BOTH? The answer is, of course we do. When leaders take the time to more fully understand who is on their team and what makes them tick, they can help amplify the strengths of the individuals, help them to be better heard, and cultivate the kind of team dynamics which allows everyone to thrive. A standout lesson from our conversation was really a simple one… ASK. Ask your team members (rather than assume) what conditions allow them to feel most productive. Ask them how they feel most comfortable communicating. Ask them about their passions so that you can help fuel them. Astonishing growth and collaboration can happen when you lead from a place of listening to your people. Both leaders and individuals can benefit greatly from actively learning more about what makes us say what we say and do what we do. Did you know that the brain is wired to keep us safe, keep to the status quo, and conserve energy? That's why growth is so uncomfortable for some! That's why setting and working towards new goals can feel painful. That's why we often quit before we even get started. That knowledge and perspective is a powerful tool in breaking through barriers and achieving great things. The top three take-aways for leaders from our time together: Help people find a career or a path they can be passionate about. Passion fuels energy, builds confidence, inspires action, and elevates lives personally and professionally. Help team members develop self-belief systems that serve them. The time to shatter those limited belief systems, habits, and “shoulda, coulda, wouldas” is now. Help people see that what once might have been considered weaknesses can truly be turned into strengths. Thinking differently, processing information more carefully, measuring your words – these are attributes, not faults. Help others develop a success mindset. Remind people that their self-talk, the skills they build upon, and the habits they make and break – these are all part of their personal success puzzle and also part of how they effectively fit into your team. I am so grateful to Chelsey for sharing her insights about the introvert mind, how we can empower them, and lead them with more effectiveness and compassion. I would encourage everyone to learn more about this powerful topic by taking advantage of Chelsey's free training program which includes: 1. How to find a career in your passion. 2. How to develop self-belief in who you are. 3. How to create a successful and resilient mindset. You can get all three at www.ThePathfinderforyou.com/free. All labels aside, gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and the people we work with, lead, and even live with is an incredible win-win. What do you think? Let's have that conversation! Set aside belief systems that put negative habits and self-talk on loop. They are a disservice to you and those around you. #RetrainYourBrain Introverts don't need to “suck it up”, “speak up more”, or “get thicker-skinned”. Like everyone else, they should be recognized for their skills, contribution, and strengths. #LeaderWithUnderstanding Leaders who take the time to really get what makes their team tick will go further, faster, and with more momentum than those who do not. #LeadershipLessons

In today’s episode of the Leader Manager Coach Podcast, Rob interviews professional coach, former player and current assistant manager at Luton Town, Steve Rutter. Steve talks about the 4 competencies in coaching and the two football coaches that he looks up to Brian Hall and Dick Bates. He recalls his time and experience with them and the learning he has taken from them as mentors. Key Takeaways: Genetic predisposition for certain things. Some people are just born with it. And some people, no matter how much they try, they won’t be an elite football player. For Steve, he was never going to be an elite football player, no matter how hard he tried. But he got some of the elements like the game understanding part. He had a good football brain, but he missed an early football technique. He was born with some of that genetic potential and having really good mentors like Brian and Dick help smooth my progression through.   4 Competencies:   Emotional Intelligence. Look at great coaches. A lot of people would say that is one of their number one qualities. They can relate to people. They can engage with people, and they can inspire people. Organization. Logistical Skill. Managing Human and Physical Resources. Subject-specific Knowledge. Knowledge of football. Pedagogical skills. These skills to teach and communicate information to people so they can learn. The four competencies are pre-requisites. Whether you are coaching players or coaching coaches. If you haven’t got one of them, you are dead. We're all based on pattern and recognition. The human brain is designed to recognize patterns quickly and efficiently and to ignore irrelevant cues. The art of being really good at something is you can take something that's complicated and present it in very simple terms. The key factors in people's achievement are qualities of resilience and a growth mindset. Tip: Be ambitious but don't delude yourself. You got to do the groundwork. If you really want to be really good at something, chances are you probably have a little bit of natural talent, but you got to invest an awful amount of time and effort to make yourself as good as you can be. Best moments: “There's always been lots of people that I've known much more about football than me. And it's not necessarily their football knowledge that attracts me to them, it's what they're like as people.” “If you have a genetic predisposition for it, you might see 500 pictures and recognize it quickly. Somebody else can see 10,000 pictures and never see it ever. It will never make sense to them.” “I think what my brain learnt to do within football context is to see the important triggers quickly, forget all the fluff and that helps you come to a really quick decision about things rather than people who can't really see the triggers, and so they have to count with 6 or 7 solutions before they get anywhere near the one that's actually gonna work.” “Dick (Bate) had this brilliant way of doing things. His attention to detail... The man was an encyclopedia of football. And his passion was undimmed by the years. He was still the same as when I first met him.” Valuable Resources: Brian Hall Dick Bate About the host: Rob Ryles is a UEFA qualified coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background. He has worked in the football industry in Europe, USA and Africa; at International, Premiership, League, Non-league and grassroots levels with both World Cup and European Championship experience. Contact Method:    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/rob.ryles.14 LinkedIn - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/robertryles Music by Dewolf - www.dwolfmusic.com ABOUT THE GUEST Steve is an eminently respected coach in the professional game. As he freely admits his coaching expertise was born out of a playing career where he had to think about the game to compete.

Whether you're a band or a solo artist, a musical performance is always a collaboration. There are sound engineers, bandmates, audience members, and venue staff that are all involved in making your performance a success. Today Paul and Dave talk through the realities of this, both objectively as outsiders and also what it's like to deal with it all in the moment. "Intentional collaboration" becomes the theme of this episode, though "being a good musical citizen" or, if successful, "the mutual admiration society" would also fit. Going with their new trend, your two favorite weekend warriors include a couple of tips in this episode, too. Press play, listen, and enjoy.

Running your Small Business is not always glamorous and full of inspiration. There's going to be days (weeks, months) that you have to resign yourself to slogging through the muck, solving what may seem like insurmountable problems, all the while keeping yourself and your team motivated to make it through the day. On this episode of the Small Business Show, Dave Hamilton and Shannon Jean discuss adversity, sharing their own stories and offering some tips on how to endeavor to persevere. On a recent episode, we focused on the Charmed Life that can be created by owning one or more Small Businesses. We got called out a bit in the Small Business Support Group from a business owner that was frustrated that we were forgetting about the struggle that many Small Business owners face each day, that living a "Charmed Life" just wasn't an option for these folks. Based on that feedback, this episode focuses on the struggle, grinding it out each day when you need to and how to power through tough times. All the while, we remind the commenter that they were already creating their own Charmed Life by being able to make their own decisions, to control their own destiny by solving those problems, by battling through the struggle. Join us today for a special episode of the Small Business Show, then visit the Support Group to take part in the conversation!

How to audition at a strip club, and what to expect. Step 1. Call the club you want to work at. Ask them 3 questions. “What is the best time and day to audition? “Are T-Backs allowed? Are their any dress code laws I should be aware of?” “What type of outfits to the girls there wear?" Step 2. Get your bag together… ID and Social Security card, make up, hair stuff, deodorant, hair stuff, tampon if you need one…. Leave your money and anything else that you don’t need at home. Step 3. Have your make up done before you get there. You don’t need to over do it. You can if you want, but to start, I’d say wear your make up like you would if you were going to a regular upscale-ish night club Step 4. Walk straight up to the bouncer, or door girl, and say “Hi, I’d like to audition” After they tell you which way to go, or call for a manager to come to the door….. ask them their name, and tell them yours. Be friendly. You could end up knowing them for a while, and it’s best to leave a good impression. Tip: Be friendly with everyone. It makes life easier when your co-workers want to see you… especially the ones like the door girl, manager, or bouncers… who can all hook you up in one way or another. So be friendly, ask them questions about themselves “So how long have you worked here for? Do you like it? What’s your name?” - Ask all the people that help you what their name is… and say it over and over in your head so that you remember it. Write it down when you get the chance. Step 5. They’ll point you in the right direction, and that will probably be to meet the manager, or to head to the dressing room. Step 6. Go to the dressing room, and get dressed. If the house mom is back there, also be friendly with her. Exchange names… Ask her if she has any advice. Step 7. It’s show time! Move slow and sexy. Unless the music is really fast. Try to move with the music. Tip: Make eye contact and smile with customers while on stage. Not shy break away eye contact… but 5 second or so hold eye contact. Step 8. Congratulations, you’re hired! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Stephanie McDilda is a heart-based leadership expert who helps leaders reduce turnover and absenteeism while increasing engagement and employee satisfaction. She knows that the key to leading successfully is to come from your heart, communicating authentically, building rapport, providing real developmental experiences, enforcing tough decisions and expecting the best from your employees. Learning from Mistakes She says this learning came to mind as soon as she saw the topic: investigate to understand the needs of the group you're speaking with before showing up to speak. Stephanie McDilda shares from her experiences one instance where what she was told to address wasn't what the group felt they needed. Great, real-life, on-the-ground learning! Preparation Precision Find out who is in the room, and know their expectations. And because "Heart-Based Leadership" is a relatively new term, Stephanie will connect with some of the attendees to ask them what questions come to their minds when they hear the term "heart-based leadership" so she can include answers to those questions in her presentation. She does some customization preparation to her core presentation to make it relevant and then she'll speak her presentation out loud. Many times. Stephanie says that her two cats are great practice partners! Promotion Stephanie McDilda is active on social media, but her greatest success has come from referrals. One unique thing she does is to go onto Thumbtack.com to see if there is anything suitable. The other way Stephanie reaches out is to SHRM - in the podcast, she clues listeners into the details on how to do that. Tip Be aware of time restraints. You may need to adjust your talk to the time available but reflect your professionalism by being time aware and end on time.

Few things cause more confusion or frustration in digital marketing than search engine optimization (SEO). In the latest episode of the Legal Marketing 2.0 podcast, we clear up some of the confusion by identifying four techniques: Technical, On Page, Of Page, and Local, with some actionable takeaways. Show notes: Technical SEO – This is how the search engines crawl and index your website and blog. You have to think about SEO when you’re building your website. It’s not enough to make your site look pretty and functional, you need a good back-end or coding structure that the robots crawling your site can recognize and register. Other elements to consider are site speed and responsive design (mobile) to improve your ranking. Tip: Submit your site to Google Search Console, including your sitemap. This allows the search engines to index your website. You will get feedback on errors on your site. On-Page SEO – Are the pages on your website properly optimized for the keywords you’re trying to rank for? This can be a page or blog post. Tip 1: Do your keyword research. Keywords should be client-focused and have enough search volume. Tip 2: Make sure the keyword is in your title, the meta description (which appear in the search results below your title), and repeated a few times on the page. Tip 3: Make sure each page or blog post has at least 300 words and then write for as long as it takes to tell your story. Off Page SEO – This is the authority of your domain which can rank from 1-100. The higher the domain authority, the easier it is to rank for your keywords. Anywhere for 40 and up is good for a law firm website. How do you build your domain authority? By the number of sites that link to your website. Note that not every link is created equally. Tip: Be careful of black hat SEO tactics. Some agencies or vendors will promise to link from dubious sites, trying to trick the system. Even if it works for a short time, Google will catch on to you and your site could incur a severe penalty making it very difficult to be found in search. In other words, don’t try to game the system. Local SEO – This is important for finding firms or businesses within a specific geographic location. Where you’re located impacts Google search results. This is especially important if your practice is local rather than national. Though even for national firms, local SEO is important when people are searching for an office location nearby. Local SEO is all about citations: your firm’s name, address, and phone numbers. The more citations or listings you have, the stronger the signal to Google that you are located in the address you specify. Tip: Make sure your name, address, and phone number (NAP) is consistent across all online directories, of which there are around 70 Google looks at to confirm you NAP. Use yext.com to lock down your NAP so that they’re consistent across all directories.

I’m in Episode #63 sharing Twitter tips, community building, my life as the leader of GoGirlsMusic and so much more.Click here to listen. Listen in as Ross shares with us his best Twitter tips and talks about the power of personalizing and organizing your Twitter lists. He also shares how a little bit of creativity can build your Twitter presence and increase interaction. Episode Highlights: Ross used to have a business-oriented approach in using Twitter and then realized the importance of being personal. Showing more of yourself gives a more rewarding experience. Use your own photo on your profile instead of a logo to show people that you’re real and to show a bit more of your personality. This equates to more interaction, more retweets, and more favorites. Really good conversations. Keep your feed organized by using Twitter lists. It’s simply a curated group of accounts. Viewing a list will show you a stream of tweets only from the accounts on a list. You can set them up to be either public or private. They can help you monitor your competitors, connect with industry leaders, engage with employees, stay on top of trends and so much more.Click here to learn how to use lists. Tip: Be creative in naming your lists to make it more interesting and to grab people’s attention. Example: I have a list called “Social Media Smarties” rather than “Social Media.” Tip: List names cannot exceed 25 characters and they cannot begin with a number. Tip: To remove yourself from a list, you will need to block the creator of the list. Ross recommends using the Buffer Chrome extension. You’ll love it because it’s so easy to share links, pictures and video from anywhere on the web. Tweetables: “Do not be afraid to be personal and social on Twitter because it is called social media.” “People buy from people.” “It’s not a one-way street.

Do software developers have stereotypes? Yes. Everyone has stereotypes. It is how we humans categorize things. We can’t PREVENT stereotypes, so use them to your advantage. We ALL stereotype, but can you let go of it when you see who people really are. John’s Tip: Be “smart” about your appearance for a job interview. You don’t want to be stereotyped negatively. Find the commonality and then break the stereotype. You can reinvent yourself whenever you want. Stop thinking you HAVE to be a certain way.
