Leaders today are stuck in a constant three-way tug-of-war: time, quality, and cost. In the post-pandemic, hybrid-work era (2020–2025), the pressure doesn't ease—tech just lets us do more, faster, and the clock keeps yelling. This is a practical, leader-grade guide to getting control of your calendar without killing your standards or your people. Why does leadership time management feel harder now, even with better technology? It feels harder because technology increases speed and volume, so your workload expands to fill the space. Email, chat, dashboards, CRMs, and "quick calls" create the illusion of efficiency while quietly multiplying decisions and interruptions. In startups, that looks like context-switching between selling, hiring, and shipping. In large organisations—think Japan-based multinationals versus US tech firms—it becomes meetings, approvals, and stakeholder alignment. Either way, the result is the same: you're busy all day, but the important work stays parked. Answer card / Do now: Audit your week for "speed traps" (messages, meetings, micro-requests). Eliminate or cap the top two. What is the "Tyranny of the Urgent," and how does it wreck leader performance? The Tyranny of the Urgent is when urgent tasks bully important tasks off your schedule—until you're permanently firefighting. You end up reacting all day: chasing escalations, answering pings, and rescuing problems that should have been prevented. This is where burnout risk climbs and productivity drops—especially in people-heavy roles like sales leadership, operations, and client service. Leaders often say, "I don't have time to plan," but that's exactly how the urgent wins. The urgent will always show up; your job is to stop it running the company. Answer card / Do now: Name today's "urgent bully." Decide: delete, delegate, defer, or do—then move one important task back onto the calendar. How do I prioritise like a serious leader (not just make a chaotic to-do list)? Prioritising means ranking tasks by impact, not emotion—then doing them in that order. A scribbled list isn't a system. Leaders need a repeatable method for capture, ranking, and execution. Use simple impact questions: Will this protect revenue? Reduce risk? Improve customer outcomes? Build capability? In Japan, where consensus and quality are prized, leaders can over-invest in perfection; in the US, speed can dominate. The sweet spot is clarity: define "done," define the deadline, and define the owner. Answer card / Do now: Write your top 5 for tomorrow, rank them 1–5, and commit to finishing 1–2 before opening email/chat. What is the 4-box matrix and which quadrant should leaders live in? The best quadrant for leaders is "important but not urgent"—because that's where planning, thinking, and prevention happen. This is the Eisenhower/Covey style matrix in plain clothes: Important + Urgent: crises, deadlines, major issues (live here too long = stress + burnout) Important + Not urgent: strategy, coaching, planning, process improvement (your success engine) Not important + Urgent: interruptions, low-value requests (minimise and delegate) Not important + Not urgent: digital junk time (limit ruthlessly) Big firms (Toyota-style operational excellence) and fast movers (Rakuten-style pace) both win when leaders protect Quadrant 2 time. Answer card / Do now: Block 60–90 minutes this week for "Important/Not Urgent" work—and guard it like a client meeting. How do I stop low-priority work and social media from stealing my day? You stop it by making "wasted time" visible and socially awkward—then replacing it with intentional breaks.Leaders often underestimate the drag of "just checking" feeds, news, or random videos. It's not the minutes; it's the mental fragmentation. If you need a break, take a break that restores you: a 30-minute walk, a short workout, a proper lunch, or a reset chat with someone who energises you. In high-output cultures across Asia-Pacific and Europe, the smartest leaders build recovery into the week because it protects decision quality. Answer card / Do now: Put friction on distractions (log out, remove apps, notifications off). Replace with one "recovery break" you actually schedule. What tactical system works: daily task lists, time blocking, delegation, or batching? It's all four—stacked into one simple operating rhythm: list, block, protect, batch, delegate. Start the day with a written, prioritised list, then time-block the top items by making an appointment with yourself. Protect that time as aggressively as you would protect a client meeting. Next: delegate "not important but urgent" tasks where possible, and batch similar work to stay in flow—calls together, approvals together, email twice a day, admin in one chunk. This reduces ramp-up time and context switching, which is a silent killer in leadership roles. Answer card / Do now: Choose one batching rule for next week (e.g., email at 11:30 and 16:30 only). Tell your team so expectations reset. Conclusion: the leader's real edge is intentional time investment Time management for leaders isn't about being "busy." It's about choosing where your time goes so you get better outcomes with less chaos. The urgent will always knock. Your job is to build a system that keeps the important work moving—planning, coaching, prevention, and decisions—so your team isn't living in crisis mode. Quick next steps for leaders (this week) Block one Quadrant 2 session (strategy/planning) and defend it. Create a daily top-5 list and finish 1–2 items before messages. Delegate one "urgent but not important" task permanently. Implement one batching rule for communications. Track your time for 3 days and delete your biggest "time thief". Optional FAQs Yes—time tracking is worth it, because it shows you the truth, not your intentions. Even three days of tracking can reveal where meetings, messages, and busywork are leaking value. Yes—delegation can reduce quality short term, but it increases capability long term. Use clear "definition of done," checklists, and feedback loops to lift standards while distributing load. No—planning doesn't slow you down; it prevents rework and constant firefighting. A small investment in planning typically saves hours of avoidable churn.

Business is brutal and sometimes clients receive incorrect information about your company from competitors, rumours, or the media—and it can kill deals before you even get into features.  Why do misperceptions about a company derail sales so fast? Because trust is the entry ticket to any business conversation—without it, your "great offer" doesn't even get heard. If a buyer suspects your firm is unstable, unethical, or incompetent, they'll filter everything you say as "sales spin" and you'll feel resistance no matter how good the solution is. This is especially sharp in relationship-heavy markets like Japan, where reputation risk is taken seriously, but it happens everywhere—Australia, the US, Europe—because buyers fear being blamed for a bad vendor choice. The worst part is misperceptions are often hidden: in strong relationships a client might tell you what they've heard, but in new relationships they may never mention it while silently disengaging. Do now: Treat "reputation risk" as a normal obstacle, not a rare exception—assume misperceptions may exist and plan to surface them early.  What's a real example of reputation damage caused by misinformation? A single error can wipe out trust at scale, and recovery can take years. A famous case involved a Japanese TV news report in 1985 that linked a wine adulteration scandal to "Australia," when the scandal actually involved "Austria"—a mix-up made easier because the country names sound similar in Japanese. The result was devastating: Australian wine sales in Japan collapsed and took a long time to recover. That story is a reminder that "fake news" doesn't need to be malicious to be damaging; sometimes it's a linguistic slip, a competitor's whisper campaign, or a lazy assumption repeated as "fact." In modern terms (as of 2025), misinformation spreads faster via social media and industry chat groups, so the impact can be immediate. Do now: Collect 2–3 "reassurance proof points" (stability, client results, certifications) you can deploy if a rumour appears.  How do you uncover negative perceptions the buyer isn't saying out loud? Ask directly, gently—and then shut up. The simplest line is: "So what are your perceptions about our organisation?" Then don't add a single extra word. Silence is the tool. If you soften it with excuses or explanations, you reduce the chance they'll tell you the truth. This matters because you can't fix what you can't see. Many salespeople are far too optimistic and assume the buyer starts neutral-to-positive. In reality, the buyer may have heard something ugly from a rival, read something outdated online, or had a bad past experience with someone "like you." Your job is to draw it out early, before you waste time presenting to a sceptic. Do now: Add the "perceptions question" to your first-meeting checklist and practise staying silent for 5–10 seconds after asking it.  What should you say when the buyer shares a negative belief (without getting defensive)? Don't argue—use a neutral "cushion" to buy thinking time. When a buyer says something negative, your instinct is to correct them fast. That's dangerous: defensive reactions make your mouth outrun your brain and you can say the wrong thing. A cushion is a neutral statement that neither agrees nor disagrees, and it lets you stay calm and professional. Think: "I see," "That's helpful to know," or "Thanks for sharing that." Then you choose your pathway based on what they said. This works across cultures: in Japan it protects harmony and face; in Australia and the US it signals maturity and confidence. Do now: Write 3 cushion phrases you can say naturally, and ban yourself from instant "No, that's wrong…" reactions.  What are the three best ways to respond: agree, dissociate, or correct? Pick the response that matches the type of misperception—partial truth, social proof gap, or factual error. Agree (with clarification): If it was true in the past, acknowledge it and update the reality (e.g., systems upgraded, issue eliminated). Dissociate (social proof): Show that other credible clients worked with you and got results—implying the fear didn't stop them. Correct (evidence): If it's factually wrong, provide hard proof to remove the concern. The skill is not choosing "the nicest" option—it's choosing the right option. If you try to "correct" something that's emotional or reputation-based without rapport, you can make them dig in harder. Do now: Build a mini playbook: one Agree line, one Dissociate line, and one Correct-with-evidence pattern you can reuse.  After you neutralise the misperception, how do you rebuild credibility and move forward? Shift into positive territory by highlighting your most relevant USP and expanding their view of your strengths—without turning it into a pitch. Once the concern is handled, you reinforce why you're the best partner by selecting the USP that fits their situation (not your favourite USP). This forces you to do your research: you may have many differentiators, but you have limited "face time," so bring the big guns. Then widen their understanding of what you can do—buyers often pigeonhole you into a narrow category based on outdated impressions. Expand the scope carefully: more capability, more depth, more proof—still conversational, not a monologue. Do now: Choose one "best-fit USP" for the buyer and prepare a 30-second credibility expansion that feels informative, not salesy.  Quick checklist: Dealing with misperceptions (copy/paste) Ask: "What are your perceptions about our organisation?" (and stay silent)  Use a cushion (neutral pause phrase)  Choose the right route: Agree / Dissociate / Correct  Present proof (not opinions) when correcting  Reinforce: best-fit USP + expand strengths (no hard sell)  Conclusion: what salespeople should do now Misperceptions are part of the rough-and-tumble of business. The naïve approach is hoping the buyer "probably thinks well of us." The professional approach is drawing it out early, handling it calmly, and then rebuilding trust with relevant proof. When you do this well, you don't just save deals—you protect your reputation and stop competitors (or random misinformation) from writing your story for you.  FAQs How do I stop getting defensive when buyers criticise my company? Use a neutral cushion first, then choose agree, dissociate, or correct. It buys time and prevents reactive arguments.  What if the buyer won't tell me what they've heard? Ask gently and then stay silent. The silence is what often prompts honesty.  When should I correct misinformation with evidence? When it's factually wrong and you can provide hard proof.Otherwise, clarify or use social proof first.  Author Bio Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Zeit ist das Wertvollste, was wir besitzen – und doch verliert sie sich so leicht im Alltag. In diesem letzten Winterimpuls möchte ich dich daran erinnern, wie viel Kraft darin liegt, bewusst zu leben, präsent zu sein und die Momente mit deinen Kindern und dir selbst wirklich zu spüren. Mit dieser Episode öffnet sich das siebte und letzte Tor deines Winterweges – der Abschluss der Winter Special Edition, die dich sieben Wochen lang mit leisen Impulsen durch diese Zeit der Innenschau begleitet hat. Ein Moment aus Verbunden Sein, der dich einlädt, achtsam mit dem umzugehen, was nie zurückkommt: deiner Zeit.

Der Vollmond am 3. Januar 2026 im Zeichen Krebs fühlt sich nicht wie ein sanfter Start ins Jahr an, sondern eher wie ein Moment, in dem ein längst überfälliges Gespräch nicht mehr warten will. Die Energie wirkt wie ein Pulverfass, das schon lange bereitsteht und jetzt nur noch auf den berühmten kleinen Funken wartet. In diesem Video schauen wir uns genau diese Zeitqualität an und was sie für dich persönlich bedeuten kann. Ich spreche darüber, warum sich diese Tage so geladen anfühlen können, was Provokation im Sinne von Tor 39 wirklich meint und wieso das Thema Kampf und Sinnhaftigkeit rund um Tor 38 so präsent ist. Geht es bei dir um Streit im häuslichen Umfeld. Um aufgestaute Emotionen, die sich nicht mehr wegdrücken lassen. Um Beziehungen, in denen du zu lange geschwiegen hast. Oder um berufliche Situationen, in denen du merkst, dass das alte System nicht mehr zu dir passt.

Am Ende des Jahres ist ein Mensch des Jahres in Ö3-"Frühstück bei mir": Nationalteamheld Michael Gregoritsch, der beim Qualifikations-Match gegen Bosnien das entscheidende Tor für die WM Teilnahme geschossen hat. Bei einem Frühstück in seinem Elternhaus in Thal bei Graz sitzt der 31jährige Stürmer gemeinsam mit seinem Vater Werner, der Trainerlegende- der auch seine Karriere stark geprägt hat- am Ö3-Frühstückstisch. Das Vater-Sohn Duo spricht über turbulente Jahre, was es bedeutet vom Vater trainiert zu werden und wie der Sohn seinen Teamkollegen trotzdem sympathisch war. Michael Gregoritsch erzählt über seine Liebesbeziehung mit LAra Stock, Zahnärztin und Schachweltmeisterin und beide Fussball-Profis analysieren Österreichs Chancen bei der WM. (Dieser Beitrag begleitet das Ö3-Frühstück bei mir vom 28.12.2025)

2026 steht vor der Tür. Das Jahr des Feuerpferdes. Eine Zeit, in der vieles in Bewegung kommt, Systeme sich wandeln und unsere Beziehung zu Arbeit, Sicherheit und Gemeinschaft neu definiert wird. Dieses Video beleuchtet die energetischen Hintergründe des kommenden Jahres.Was passiert, wenn alte Strukturen zu bröckeln beginnen und das Neue noch nicht ganz sichtbar ist? Welche Rolle spielt der Übergang von Tor 40 zu Tor 37. Vom Prinzip der Leistung hin zu mehr Menschlichkeit und Mitgefühl?

¿La ansiedad no te deja vivir? Descubre el secreto del Rebe de Modzitz para "cerrar la maleta" de las preocupaciones y cómo su ingenio burló a los soviéticos para salvar a miles de judíos.

Januar 2026: Etwas geht zu Ende, etwas Neues will beginnen, auch wenn der Kopf sich noch nicht ganz erklären kann, was da aufbricht. In diesem Video nehme ich dich mit in die Human Design Transite für den Januar 2026. Wir schauen uns an, was der Wechsel von Jupiter aus Tor 62 in Tor 53 energetisch mit uns macht, warum sich so viele nach Entwicklung, Neubeginn und Abenteuern sehnen und weshalb deine Seele jetzt Erfahrungen sammeln möchte, während dein Verstand vielleicht noch zweifelt. Es geht darum, Entscheidungen nicht länger aus Angst, Mangel oder Kontrolle zu treffen, sondern aus deiner inneren Autorität und aus dem Körper heraus.Ein wichtiger Teil des Videos ist auch die Zeit rund um den Jahreswechsel. Wir sprechen darüber, wie sich die Aktivierung von Tor 38 zeigen kann, warum Spannung, Aggression und Eskalation in dieser Phase wahrscheinlicher sind und was du konkret tun kannst, um bei dir zu bleiben, statt dich in den Strudel von Drama, Streit oder Gewalt hineinziehen zu lassen.

When you've got a dozen priorities, meetings, emails, and "urgent" requests hitting you at once, the real problem usually isn't effort—it's focus. This is a simple, fast method to get your thinking organised, coordinate your work, and choose actions that actually improve results: build a focus map, then run each sub-topic through a six-step action template.  How do I get focused when I'm overwhelmed with too much work? You get better results by shrinking the chaos into one clear "area of focus," then organising everything else around it. In practice, overwhelm comes from competing directions—sales targets, KPIs, internal politics, client deadlines, hiring, and admin—all demanding attention at the same time. In Japan, this can be amplified by stakeholder-heavy coordination; in the US and Europe, it can be amplified by speed and constant context switching. Either way, your effort becomes scattered and poorly coordinated.  The fix is to pause briefly and decide: "What is the one thing (or two things) I need to improve most right now?" That becomes your anchor. Once you can name the focus, the brain stops thrashing and starts sorting. Do now: Write down the one or two words that define your key focus for this week.  What is a "focus map" and how do you make one quickly? A focus map is a one-page visual map: one central focus, surrounded by the sub-topics you need to improve. Put a small circle in the middle of the page and write your main focus inside (for example: "Better Time Management"). Then add related words that come to mind as surrounding circles—like planets around the sun—creating sub-categories you can work on.  This works because you already have the answers in your head; you just haven't "released" them into a structure. The visual element matters: arranging the circles stimulates thinking differently than typing a list in a notes app. It's fast, low-tech, and effective—especially for leaders toggling between deep work and constant interruption in a post-pandemic, hybrid world. Do now: Draw one central circle and add 6–10 surrounding circles of related sub-topics.  What should I put on my focus map (examples leaders actually use)? Use practical "better" themes—time, follow-up, planning, communication—then generate sub-categories that are behaviour-based. Common centre-circle themes include: Better Time Management, Better Follow-up, Better Planning, Better Communicator.  Example: if your centre circle is "Better Time Management," your surrounding circles might include: prioritisation, block time, procrastination, Quadrant Two focus (Eisenhower Matrix), to-do list, weekly goals, daily goals. This is where the method beats generic productivity advice. Instead of "be more organised," you can see the real levers: calendar blocking, priority choice, and the habit of starting the day with a ranked list. In an SME, this might be about protecting selling time; in a multinational, it may be about reducing meeting bloat and stakeholder drag. Do now: Choose one sub-category you can improve in 7 days (e.g., prioritisation).  What are the six steps to turn a focus map into action? The six steps force clarity: attitude → importance → new behaviour → desired result → vision alignment. After your focus map is complete, pick one sub-category (say, prioritisation) and run it through this template:  What has been my attitude in this area? Why is this important to me and my organisation? Specifically, what am I going to do about this differently? What results do I desire? How is this going to impact my Vision? This is essentially strategy on a page. It connects behaviour change to outcomes and makes it harder to stay vague. It also works across cultures: whether you're operating in Japan's consensus environments or in faster-moving US/Europe contexts, you still need a clear "why" and a specific "what next." Do now: Write answers for steps 1–3 today; do steps 4–5 tomorrow.  Can you show a completed example (so I can copy the format)? Yes—use the example below as a plug-and-play model for any topic you choose. For "Time Management" with the sub-category "Prioritisation," a completed version looks like this (edited only for formatting):  Area of focus: Time Management → Prioritisation Attitude: "I know I should be better organised…but I never get around to taking any action…because I don't choose activities based on priorities." Why important: "If I am better organised I can get more work done…focus on the prioritised areas of highest value…contribute more value to the organisation." What I'll do differently: buy an organiser; use to-do lists + a calendar; block time for highest value items; start each day by nominating tasks, then prioritising and working in that order. Desired result: spend best time on highest value tasks with greatest impact. Impact on vision: efficiency and effectiveness rise dramatically. Do now: Copy this structure and fill it in for your sub-category (block time, procrastination, weekly goals, etc.).  How do I use this system every week to get better results (not just once)? Repeat the map-and-template cycle weekly, focusing on one sub-category at a time until the habit "sticks." The magic is consistency: you can repeat the same process for block time, procrastination, Quadrant Two focus, to-do lists, weekly goals, daily goals—each becomes its own mini-improvement project.  Think of it like leadership development: you don't "fix productivity" once; you build a personal operating system. Some weeks will be chaotic (product launches, quarterly reporting, client crises), so you pick a small, controllable lever. Other weeks you can go deeper. This method is described as a go-to tool because it's fast, it goes deep, and it produces practical ideas you can apply immediately.  Do now: Schedule 15 minutes every Monday to create one focus map and choose one sub-category to improve.  Quick checklist (copy/paste) Choose 1 key focus (1–2 words).  Build a focus map (6–10 sub-circles).  Pick 1 sub-category for this week.  Run the six steps and define 1–2 new behaviours.  Review weekly; repeat with the next sub-category.  Conclusion Better results come from better-directed effort. The focus map gives you clarity fast, and the six steps turn that clarity into behaviour change tied to results and vision. If you try it once, you'll get insight. If you run it weekly, you'll build momentum.  FAQs A focus map is basically a mind map for execution. It moves you from "busy" to "clear" in minutes by visualising priorities.  Start with one sub-category, not the whole map. Results come from focusing on one lever (like prioritisation or block time) per week.  The six steps work because they force specifics. You can't hide behind vague intentions when you must name attitude, actions, results, and vision.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

C'est une affaire qui secoue tout l'écosystème des cryptomonnaies et relance un débat explosif : où s'arrête la protection de la vie privée, et où commence la complicité criminelle ? Aux États-Unis, Keonne Rodriguez, développeur du portefeuille Bitcoin Samourai Wallet, vient d'être condamné à cinq ans de prison. Son crime ? Avoir conçu et exploité un outil jugé trop efficace pour garantir l'anonymat des transactions.Lancé en 2015, Samourai Wallet se présentait comme un portefeuille Bitcoin open source destiné à préserver la confidentialité financière de ses utilisateurs. En pratique, il reposait notamment sur une technique de « coin mixing », qui consiste à mélanger les transactions de plusieurs utilisateurs afin de rendre leur traçage extrêmement difficile. Un principe défendu par de nombreux militants de la vie privée… mais perçu par les autorités comme un facilitateur de criminalité. En avril 2024, les agents du FBI interpellent Rodriguez à son domicile. Le United States Department of Justice l'accuse d'exploitation d'un service de transfert monétaire non autorisé et de blanchiment d'argent. Selon l'enquête, plus de 237 millions de dollars de fonds criminels — issus de trafics de drogue, de fraudes, de marchés du darknet ou encore de contenus pédocriminels — auraient transité par l'infrastructure Samourai.La défense, elle, plaide la neutralité technologique. Rodriguez affirme n'avoir fait qu'écrire du code, sans contrôler l'usage qui en était fait. Mais les juges ont retenu plusieurs éléments aggravants : Samourai n'était pas un simple logiciel décentralisé. L'équipe opérait des serveurs indispensables au fonctionnement du service, prélevait des commissions sur chaque opération — environ 4,5 millions de dollars au total — et certains messages publics ou documents marketing visaient explicitement des acteurs des marchés « gris » ou illégaux. C'est là que la frontière se brouille. Contrairement à des outils comme Tor ou Signal, Samourai combinait centralisation, modèle économique et communication provocatrice. Pour le tribunal, l'intention ne faisait plus de doute. Le cofondateur et directeur technique William Hill a écopé de quatre ans de prison. L'affaire pourrait toutefois rebondir : Donald Trump a récemment évoqué la possibilité d'un réexamen du dossier en vue d'une grâce présidentielle. Quoi qu'il en soit, l'affaire Samourai Wallet fera date. Elle rappelle une leçon brutale : défendre la vie privée financière est une chose. Exploiter une infrastructure centralisée, rémunérée, et assumant d'attirer des usages criminels en est une autre. Dans l'Amérique actuelle, la ligne rouge est désormais très claire.

What does it take to return to the top of the ultra running world after major life changes and a "career-ending" surgery? Kaytlyn Gerbin knows. In this episode, Kaytlyn shares her journey from a scientist with a love for the outdoors to a world-class trail and ultra runner. Growing up active but without formal running experience, she discovered her talent in her mid-twenties and quickly fell in love with the 100-mile distance. Since then, she's set course records, tackled some of the most technical alpine trails in the Pacific Northwest, and stood on podiums at legendary races like UTMB, Western States 100, and Transgrancanaria. But Kaytlyn's story isn't just about running. It's about resilience, reinvention, and balance. After the birth of her daughter Era in 2024 and undergoing surgery to correct hip dysplasia—a procedure many thought would end her running career—Kaytlyn came back stronger than ever, winning the Cascade Crest 100 and taking on the epic 330km Tor des Geants race in Italy. In this episode, you'll hear about: How she discovered her running talent and found her passion for ultra distances Overcoming setbacks, starting over, and learning to meet herself where she is The mental strategies that help her tackle 100-mile races and multi-day alpine challenges Balancing motherhood with elite-level running Her plans and goals for 2026, including Hardrock 100 and UTMB Whether you're an aspiring ultra runner, a parent chasing big goals, or someone who loves stories of grit, perseverance, and adventure, Kaytlyn's story will inspire you to push your limits—on the trails and in life. Tune in to hear how Kaytlyn combines mountains, motherhood, and science-backed training to redefine what's possible, one long run at a time. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges?

Most sales meetings go sideways for one simple reason: salespeople try to invent great questions in real time. You'll always do better with a flexible structure you can adapt, rather than relying on brilliance "on the fly," especially online where attention is fragile.  Why should you design qualifying questions before meeting the client? Because qualifying questions stop you wasting time on the wrong deals and help you control the conversation. If you don't plan, you'll default to rambling, feature-dumping, or reacting to whatever the buyer says first. A light structure keeps you adaptable without sounding scripted: you set the parameters, then fill in the details as the conversation unfolds.  Answer card / Do now: Build a reusable "question bank" and adjust it per client instead of improvising everything live.  What is the "permission question" and why does it matter? The permission question earns consent to ask sensitive questions from someone who doesn't trust you yet. You're effectively asking a stranger to reveal weaknesses in their business—something people naturally resist—so you must frame it as: you've helped similar organisations, you may be able to help here too, but you need to ask a few questions to find out.  This is especially important in relationship-driven markets like Japan, and still crucial in Australia and the US where buyers are wary of pushy sellers. Permission lowers defensiveness and increases honesty. Answer card / Do now: Memorise one permission line you can say naturally on Zoom, phone, and in-person.  What "need questions" actually uncover the real problem? Start broad, then narrow—because the first issue they mention is often not the biggest one. A clean opener is: "What are some key issues for your business at the moment?" If they struggle to answer, prompt with a realistic scenario from similar clients (for example, sales performance in a virtual environment) and ask whether that's true for them or if they're satisfied. Then ask what other issues are priorities, so you don't anchor on the first answer and miss the real driver.  Answer card / Do now: Prepare 3 "prompt examples" (common issues) to help buyers respond when your question is too broad.  Which qualifying questions reveal the scale (quantity) and constraints (budget)? Use quantity questions to size the problem, and budget questions to test seriousness without triggering defensiveness. A quantity question gives you the scale, like: "How many salespeople do you have who could benefit…?" That helps you calibrate your recommendation. Budget can be asked directly ("How much have you allocated?"), but many buyers won't share it—especially early—so you can work indirectly from team size and solution scope to estimate what's realistic.  Answer card / Do now: Write one direct budget question and one indirect "scope-based" alternative you can use when they clam up.  How do you ask the authority question without making it awkward? Ask who else has the strongest input, framed as necessary to help them properly. Buying decisions usually involve multiple stakeholders now, so you need to identify who matters early. Use wording like: "In order for me to help you, may I ask, apart from you, who would have the most interest and input into the buying decision?" It's respectful, it doesn't challenge their status, and it surfaces the buying committee.  Answer card / Do now: Add the authority question to every first meeting agenda—no exceptions.  What is an agenda statement, and how does it help control the meeting? An agenda statement is a simple way to guide the meeting flow while still staying flexible. You remind them why the meeting matters, outline what you'd like to cover, and then ask if they want to add anything—so the agenda becomes shared, not imposed. A practical sequence is: check their familiarity with your company (to correct misconceptions), learn what they're doing now and what systems they use, clarify future goals, uncover challenges blocking those goals, and—if there's a match—discuss how you could work together. Then invite their additions.  The conversation won't go in perfect order, and that's fine—your job is to ensure the key questions get answered while you still have the chance.  Answer card / Do now: Use a 6-point agenda statement, get agreement, then work through your question bank calmly—even if the order changes.  Simple meeting structure you can copy Permission question (earn consent)  Need questions (broad → narrow)  Quantity (size the issue)  Budget (direct or indirect)  Authority (map stakeholders)  Agenda statement (control flow + invite additions)  Conclusion: what salespeople should do now Qualifying isn't "being clever"—it's being prepared. Build a structure, customise it to the client, and then stay adaptable in the moment. The sellers who win in 2025 are the ones who can guide the conversation without sounding scripted, earn permission before probing, and leave meetings with real decision clarity instead of vague friendliness.  FAQs What's the biggest mistake in sales discovery? Improvising questions under pressure instead of using a simple structure you can adapt.  Why add an agenda statement at the start? It sets shared expectations and reduces random detours, while still allowing flexibility.  What if the buyer won't discuss budget? Use indirect sizing questions (headcount, scope, rollout timing) to estimate what's realistic.  Author Bio Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

In die hoedanigheid was hij jarenlang de vaste leverancier van de playlist voor de kerst-uitzending van “All That Jazzz”, het wekelijkse radioprogramma over jazz en omstreken op radio 1Twente.  All That Jazzz is, door wijzigingen in het beleid van 1Twente, niet meer via de radio te beluisteren.

RELATO N°667

Die Bundesliga macht Winterpause und wir nutzen den Rückblick auf den 15. Spieltag für eine kleine Bilanz: Wer waren Spieler, Trainer und Fans des Halbjahres? Jens und Alex bauen sich den „perfekten“ Club der vergangenen Monate. Dabei schauen wir natürlich auch auf die Highlights des 15. Spieltags zurück. Ist Harry Kane aktuell sogar der beste Stürmer Europas? Mit seinem Tor beim Sieg des FC Bayern München in Heidenheim erreichte er die unglaubliche Marke von 100 Torbeteiligungen in der Bundesliga – im gerade mal 78. Spiel. Borussia Dortmund bleibt sich auch zum Ende des Jahres 2025 treu: das Spiel gegen Borussia Mönchengladbach ist nicht spektakulär aber erfolgreich. Statistisch sticht dabei Nico Schlotterbeck erneut heraus. Ist er aktuell der beste Dortmunder? Und wer sticht bei RB Leipzig und Bayer Leverkusen heraus? Bayer gewinnt das Topspiel ohne seine Africa-Cup-Stars auf überzeugende Art und Weise. Deutlich weniger Spektakel gab es auf diversen anderen Plätzen – drei Mal 0:0 bei Stuttgart gegen Hoffenheim, Augsburg gegen Werder und Mainz gegen St. Pauli. Es schaffen trotzdem Spieler der Teams in den „perfekten“ Club des Halbjahres von Alex und Jens. Und wer ist von Eintracht Frankfurt, die sich auf der letzten Rille gegen den HSV zum Remis gemüht hat, dabei? Von den Hamburgern hat sich zum Beispiel mal wieder Luka Vuskovic in den Vordergrund gespielt. Wird er in einem „perfekten“ Team stehen? Die Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt es in der aktuellen Folge des Bundesliga Updates. Viel Spaß beim Hören – und vielen Dank fürs Dabei sein! Habt alle schöne und erholsame Weihnachtstage und startet gut ins Jahr 2026!

"I think curiosity is very important. When you're curious about something, you listen." "You have to be at the forefront, not the back. You can't, hide behind and say, 'hey, you know, guys solve it', right?" "When they trust you, beautiful things happen."              "Ideas are welcome. You know, ideas are free. But it's got be data driven."  Tomo Kamiya is President Japan at PTC, a company known for parametric design and CAD-driven simulation that helps engineers model, test, and refine complex products digitally before manufacturing. He began his career in sales at Bosch, covering Kanagawa and Yamanashi with a highly autonomous, remote-work style that was ahead of its time, learning early that trust and relationship continuity—not brand alone—move outcomes in Japan. He later joined Dell during its disruptive growth era, moving from enterprise sales into marketing and broader regional responsibility, including supporting Korea marketing and later leading the server business, where his team hit number one market share in Japan. After a short consulting stint connected to Japan Telecom, he joined AMD to grow the business in Japan, then relocated to Singapore to run a broader South Asia remit and strategic customers. He subsequently led a wide Asia Pacific portfolio at D&M Holdings across multiple markets, navigating shifting consumer behaviour as subscription and streaming changed the fundamentals of product value. That experience led naturally into Adobe during its historic shift from perpetual software to subscription, where he led the Digital Media business in Japan (including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat) for almost a decade. Across this cross-industry arc, he has repeatedly adapted to business model change, regional cultural differences, and the practical realities of leading people in Japan—especially the need to listen deeply, build trust patiently, and step forward decisively when problems hit. Tomo Kamiya's leadership story is, at its core, a story about compressing complexity—first in products, then in organisations. At PTC, he sits at the intersection of engineering reality and digital abstraction: the ability to take something massive—a ship, an engine, an entire manufacturing system—and "frame" it into a screen so it can be simulated, stress-tested, and improved before any physical cost is incurred. That same instinct shows up in the way he talks about people and performance. In his earliest Bosch years, he learned that Japan's reliability culture does not eliminate the need for continuous trust-building; even a global brand can stall if the relationship energy disappears. His answer was to create value where the buyer's uncertainty lives—showing up, demonstrating, educating, and, as he put it, "sell myself," because credibility travels faster than product brochures. That bias for action stayed with him through Dell's high-velocity era, where "latest and the greatest" rewarded leaders who could anticipate market timing and organise teams around speed without losing discipline. Later, running regional remits outside Japan, he saw the contrast between Japan's "no defect" mindset and emerging markets that prioritised pace. Rather than treat one as right and the other as wrong, he learned to search for the productive middle ground: the discipline that prevents future failure, paired with the pragmatism that prevents paralysis. It is a useful lens for Japan, where uncertainty avoidance and consensus expectations can slow decisions unless the leader builds momentum through listening and clear intent. In his most practical leadership shift, an executive coach forced a hard look at his calendar: too much time on objectives, not enough time on people. The result was a deliberate reallocation toward one-on-ones, deeper listening, and clearer delegation—creating what amounts to a management operating system that improves decision speed because the leader knows what is really happening. He sees ideas as abundant but insists that investment requires decision intelligence: data points, ROI thinking, and a shared logic that gives teams confidence to commit. In Japan's consensus environment—where nemawashi and ringi-sho-style alignment often determine whether execution truly happens—his approach is to build trust through presence, make it safe for the "silent minority" to contribute, and then move decisively when critical moments arrive. Technology, including AI as a "co-pilot," can help leaders think through scenarios and prepare responses, but he remains clear that empathy and execution in the worst moments cannot be outsourced. The leadership standard, as he defines it, is simple and demanding: when things go south, step to the front. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is shaped by trust-building, restraint, and the practical demands of consensus. Even when products are high quality and risk reduction is strong, outcomes often hinge on relationships and continuity. Japan's consensus culture—often expressed through nemawashi and ringi-sho-style alignment—means leaders must invest time in listening, building internal confidence, and demonstrating respect for the context that teams and customers protect. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often arrive with a headquarters lens and try to "fix" what looks inefficient before understanding why it exists. When they change processes or people without learning the customer rationale, they trigger resistance and lose credibility. The gap is not intelligence; it is context. Japan requires deliberate time in the market and inside the organisation to decode what is really being optimised—often customer trust, stability, and long-term reliability. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Japan can appear risk-averse, but much of the behaviour is better described as uncertainty avoidance. The goal is to reduce surprises and protect relationships, not to avoid progress. Kamiya's early sales experience shows that buyers will pay for reliability when the cost of failure is high. The leadership challenge is to move forward while lowering uncertainty—through data, clear rationale, and predictable communication—rather than forcing speed without alignment. What leadership style actually works? The style that works is visible, empathetic, and action-oriented. Trust grows when leaders walk the floor, create everyday touchpoints, and listen in detail—especially because many Japanese employees will not speak up easily. At the same time, Kamiya argues that in critical moments—big decisions, business model shifts, major complaints—the leader must be "at the forefront," not hiding behind delegation. Delegation matters, but stepping forward in the hardest moments is what earns trust. How can technology help? Technology helps leaders compress complexity and make better decisions. In product terms, simulation and digital-twin style approaches reduce risk by testing before manufacturing. In leadership terms, data-driven thinking improves idea selection, investment confidence, and ROI clarity. AI can function as a co-pilot for scenario planning—offering options and framing responses—but it does not replace human judgement, empathy, or the social work of building consensus. Does language proficiency matter? Language matters because it shrinks distance. Full fluency may take years, but even small efforts signal respect and closeness, making it easier to build rapport and trust. Language is not just vocabulary; it is an everyday bridge that reduces friction with teams and increases the leader's ability to read nuance—critical in a culture where people may be reserved. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? The ultimate lesson is that trust is built through time, listening, and decisive presence. Leadership is revealed when trouble hits: the leader who listens, takes action, and stands in front earns durable commitment. Once trust is established, the organisation can move faster—because consensus forms more naturally, delegation improves, and decisions carry less uncertainty.

Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc is chattin' with Alyssa Lisiewski, Managing Director at Ankura and one of the best known and respected cybersecurity experts in the country. The conversation begins with Alyssa sharing her early introduction to technology, influenced by her father who taught her to take apart and reassemble computers from a young age. Initially interested in forensic crime scene investigations, Alyssa shifted her focus to cybersecurity due to her father's encouragement and foresight about the field's growth. She started her career as an intern in diplomatic security's computer investigations and forensics unit, then pursued a master's degree while working as a government contractor, honing her skills in cybersecurity and high-tech crime investigations. Alyssa's career progressed into the intelligence community, where she specialized in digital forensics from an intelligence perspective, which differed from traditional digital forensics. She later worked at the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center in Maryland, conducting forensic examinations and testifying in court cases. Transitioning to the private sector, Alyssa led a digital forensics team at a major financial company focusing on insider threats before joining Anchor, where she combines her cyber threat and forensic expertise. The discussion then shifts to clarifying common internet terminology: the surface web, deep web, and dark web. Alyssa explains that the surface web is the small portion of the internet most people use daily, such as Google and social media. The deep web contains more anonymous and legal content like academic and medical documents, while the dark web is accessed via Tor and is often associated with illicit activities but also hosts legitimate anonymous communications. Alyssa emphasizes the importance of proactive dark web monitoring for businesses. Beyond just detecting if stolen data is posted, monitoring can reveal chatter among threat actors about industries or competitors, enabling companies to anticipate and mitigate attacks. She shares a real-life example where her team identified a threat actor group's tactics early, allowing a client to detect an intrusion that had gone unnoticed for a month, demonstrating the value of threat intelligence in incident response. Finally, Marc and Alyssa chat about the benefits and challenges of incorporating dark web analysis into post-incident investigations. While it can clarify the true impact of a breach and assist in legal mediation, there are limitations due to the trustworthiness of data posted by criminals. Her team validates findings through metadata analysis and breach research. The episode closes with Alyssa inviting listeners to connect with her via email or LinkedIn for further discussion, highlighting her openness to sharing knowledge and engaging with the cybersecurity community. Key Points Alyssa's Journey: Alyssa's early exposure to technology and career path from forensic interests to cybersecurity and digital forensics. Web Infrastructure: Explanation of the surface web, deep web, and dark web, including their differences and common misconceptions. Threat Detection: The strategic value of proactive dark web monitoring for businesses to detect threats and industry chatter before breaches occur. A real-world example of how threat intelligence helped identify a threat actor's tactics and detect a breach earlier than usual. The role of dark web analysis in post-incident investigations, including its benefits, limitations, and methods to validate data. Key Quotes “When I was four, my dad taught me how to take apart a computer and put it back together… he made sure I was learning about it from a very young age.” “The surface web is really only 4 or 5% of the web. The majority of the web is the deep web and the dark web.” “If you’re not monitoring proactively the dark web, chances are the first time you’re looking at the dark web is after that breach.” “We knew … the threat actor group… and because of that, we were able to identify the actual true start of the incident, about a month prior to the update we were working on.” “There are going to be situations where we may not be able to identify if data is out there, or we may identify it but not give any context… that’s why we do other things to try to validate it.” About Our Guest Alyssa Lisiewski is a Managing Director at Ankura in Washington, DC, bringing over 14 years of specialized experience in digital forensics, cybersecurity, and insider threat investigations. She has a proven track record of leading and conducting complex cyber investigations that protect critical digital assets across diverse industries including government, financial services, and legal sectors. Alyssa is highly skilled in operating within digital forensic lab environments, adhering to industry standards for evidence handling, and analyzing electronically stored information. She has been qualified as an expert witness in federal and military courts and has played key roles in program leadership, strategic service development, and partner engagement, driving innovation and excellence in cyber risk management.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes back Special Guest Eira Wulfnothsson Date: December 16th, 2025 EP: 654 TOPIC: We will be chatting about Animals, Consciousness & Heaven which is based on her book “ “Dominicanus; You, Your Dog and Heaven“ The Book: From the author of The Devil's Mistake; From Occultist to Christian comes Dominicanus; You, Your Dog And Heaven. This book speaks to the little-known scriptural fact that dogs have souls, go to heaven and are loved by God. It also speaks to the fact that we are divinely ordered by God to care for all animals and never allow them to suffer. It was also written to bring comfort to all who have ever endured the loss of a beloved four-legged family member and should also assure those who are about to, that they will surely meet again. Dominicanus; You, Your Dog And Heaven, speaks from a unique and rarely discussed perspective. A perspective perhaps, that will give you the words during a time when the words are extremely hard to find.

There she learned of the laws and forces at work in the cosmos both Holy and Unholy. Five years ago, she had an extraordinary experience with Mary, Our Blessed Mother. She was called to become a traditional Roman Catholic and is now a consecrated Marian who has taken a life long vow of celibacy. She regularly prays “The Office of The Dead” for the Holy Souls in purgatory. Today Eira works on the team of a Mandated Roman Catholic Exorcist and consults on classical angelology/demonology based on her unique upbringing, studies and experiences. In service to Christ she currently hosts a youtube channel where she speaks of her unusual journey, spiritual warfare, and her understanding of God's cosmos. Eira's YouTube channel is: Pitbulls of The Lord Spiritual Warfare Channel.

Jetzt hat's Sylvester erwischt und er ist erkältet - was ihn aber nicht davon abhält, in der neuen Folge von "Passwort" ausgiebig mit Christopher zu allerlei Security-Themen zu sprechen. Zunächst thematisieren die beiden mit etwas Humor ein Kuriosum, nämlich eine nicht hinlänglich verschlüsselnde Toilettenschüsselkamera zur Darmkrebs-Früherkennung. Dann erläutert Sylvester, was es mit der Sicherheitslücke "React2Shell" auf sich hat, die in den vergangenen Tagen für reichlich Furore sorgte und Hunderttausende Domains weltweit betrifft. Christopher hat dieses Mal gleich fünf PKI-Themen im Gepäck, zu denen Sylvester kurzerhand noch ein sechstes beisteuert und auch den Umbau von Tor mittels "Counter-Galois Onion" hat der c't-Redakteur sich angeschaut. Der Podcast verabschiedet sich mit dieser Folge in eine dreiwöchige Weihnachtspause - wer will, kann die Aufzeichnung der nächsten Folge live auf dem 39C3 miterleben. - React2Shell PoC: https://gist.github.com/maple3142/48bc9393f45e068cf8c90ab865c0f5f3 - XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1172/ - Cloudflare: https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage/ - Logarchivierung für CT-Logs: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/ct-policy/c/Y25hCTrCjDo - Wo überall Trust-Stores sitzen: https://heise.de/-9568002 - Tor vs Iran und Russland: https://blog.torproject.org/staying-ahead-of-censors-2025/ - Counter Galois Onion: https://blog.torproject.org/introducing-cgo/ - Folgt uns im Fediverse: * @christopherkunz@chaos.social * @syt@social.heise.de

In der 320. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» sind wir zu Gast auf der Schützenwiese. Und wir sprechen nicht nur über die sportliche Situation des FC Winterthur, sondern auch darüber, wie man den Geist eines Stadions trotz Modernisierungsplänen erhält. Was ein schönes Stadion auszeichnet. Und warum die Schützenwiese wichtig ist für die Super League.Beim FC Zürich verdichten sich die Anzeichen, dass die Zeit von Milos Malenovic sich dem Ende neigt. Der FC Basel weiss immer noch nicht, wie man Tore schiesst – und für Trainer Ludovic Magnin werden die letzten beiden Spiele des Jahren entscheidend. YB gewinnt zwar gegen Lille und Luzern, ist aber trotzdem nicht so richtig zufrieden.

Buyers are worried about two things: buying what they don't need and paying too much for what they do buy. Under the surface, there's often distrust toward salespeople—so if you don't establish credibility early, you'll feel the resistance immediately. A strong Credibility Statement solves this. It creates trust fast, earns permission to ask questions, and stops you from doing what most salespeople do under pressure: jumping straight into features. This is sometimes called an Elevator Pitch, because it must be concise, clear, and attractive—worth continuing the conversation. What is a Credibility Statement (and when do you use it)? A Credibility Statement is what you use at first contact—in person, email, phone, or Zoom—to establish who you are, what you do, and why it's worth talking with you. It's not a pitch of features. It's a trust-builder that sets up the next stage: questioning. Why credibility must come before questions Even if you love your solution and know your company is excellent, the buyer doesn't know that. They may be sceptical, cautious, and worried about getting "conned." So you have to put that anxiety to rest early—before you start probing into their problems. The simple Credibility Statement formula (use this every time) Here's a practical structure you can reuse so you're not winging it on every call: 1) Identity + Company + one-line "what we do" Example: "Hi, my name is ____. I'm ____. We help ____." 2) A hook that hits a real, current problem Use something buyers immediately recognise and haven't fully solved on their own. 3) Relevant proof (preferably numbers) Reference a similar client and an outcome. If you quote numbers, they must be real and provable—because if you're challenged and it doesn't hold up, trust collapses. 4) The permission bridge "Maybe we can help. I'm not sure yet—but if you'll allow me to ask a few questions, I'll know whether we can help or not." This earns consent before you dig into their situation. 5) If they don't have time: ask for the appointment (with alternatives) Offer a simple choice structure (this week or next week → day options → time). Credibility Statement example you can model "Hi my name is Greg Story. I am the President of Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo. We are global soft skills training experts and masters of delivery and sustainment. Do you have a moment to talk?" Then the hook (problem): "We have heard from our clients that salespeople are really struggling with virtual selling and getting through to their buyers. Have you found the same thing?" Then proof (numbers + similar client): "Recently, we worked with a large service provider like yourself… They reported that their appointment rate went up by 25% after the training and their closing rate tripled." Then permission bridge: "Maybe, we can do the same for you. I am not sure, but if you will allow me to ask a few questions, I will know if we are in a position to help you or not?" How to ask for the meeting (without sounding pushy) If they're busy, transition cleanly into scheduling using the "alternative of choice" approach: "Shall we get together? Is this week fine or how about next week? … Wednesday or Friday? … 10.00am?" This keeps it easy, natural, and structured—without pressure. Common mistake: skipping credibility and diving into features When salespeople miss this step, they make life harder than it needs to be. If you aren't asking questions and you're jumping into features, you're fighting distrust with information—and that rarely works. Build trust first, then earn the right to diagnose. Quick next steps (use today) Write your one-sentence "what we do" statement (a buyer should understand it instantly). Create 3 hook lines tied to common buyer problems (by industry/role). Prepare 2–3 proof stories with real metrics (and make sure you can back them up). Memorise your permission bridge (so questioning feels natural, not intrusive). Practise the "this week or next week" appointment close. FAQs Is a Credibility Statement the same as an elevator pitch? Often yes—the point is to be concise, clear, and compelling at first contact. Do I need numbers in my proof? Numbers are powerful, but only if they're real and provable. If you get caught using shaky data, trust dies. Why ask permission before questions? Because buyers don't normally share problems with strangers. Permission creates safety and cooperation.

Der Platzwart trifft den Tiete, und die Runde freut sich zunächst über ein neues Unentschieden bei Hannover 96. Ein 0:0 hatten wir in dieser Saison noch nicht, normalerweise spielt 96 bei Remis ein 2:2. Wir fragen uns, ob die Roten der spielstärkste Fünftplazierte einer 2. Liga europa- oder sogar weltweit ist. Auf jeden Fall war die torlose Partie gegen den VfL Bochum ein schön herausgespieltes 0:0, da sind wir uns ausnahmsweise einig. Aber warum steht die Mannschaft bei einer solchen Überlegenheit am Ende wieder mit fast leeren Händen da? Nach xGoals hätte Hannover 96 3:1 oder sogar 4:1 gewinnen müssen. Tiete fand den Unterhaltungswert des Spiels trotzdem gut. Warum? Podwart hören! Es fehlt eben Wumms in der Box. Besonders von zwei sehr talentierten Spielern ist vor dem Tor leider wenig zu erwarten. Um wen es sich handelt? Podwart hören!

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES 16 DE DICIEMBRELÍMITES DEFINIDOS Utilizando las mismas palabras que se le dirigieron al principio del libro (Jos. 1:7, 8), Josué afirmó que la tarea que aguardaba a Israel no era principalmente de naturaleza militar, sino espiritual. Tenía que ver con la obediencia a la voluntad de Dios revelada en la Torá. ¿Por qué adoptó Josué una postura tan firme acerca de las relaciones de Israel con las naciones circundantes? (Jos. 23:6-8, 12, 13). El peligro al que Israel se enfrentaba no era la enemistad de las naciones restantes, sino su amistad. Las armas de ellas no representaban tal vez un desafío para Israel, pero su ideología y sus valores (o su falta de ellos) podrían resultar más dañinos que cualquier fuerza militar. Josué llamó la atención de los líderes al hecho crucial de que el conflicto en el que se habían visto envueltos era primordialmente, y en última instancia, espiritual. Por lo tanto, Israel debía preservar su singular identidad.La prohibición de invocar el nombre de un dios, jurar por él y servirlo o inclinarse ante él tenía que ver con la idolatría. En el antiguo Cercano Oriente, el nombre de una deidad representaba su presencia y su poder. Invocar o mencionar los nombres de los dioses en los saludos cotidianos o en las transacciones comerciales significaba reconocer su autoridad y contribuía a que los israelitas buscaran su poder en tiempos de necesidad (comparar con Jue. 2:1-3, 11-13). El peligro de casarse con los cananeos que quedaban en la tierra consistía en que Israel perdiera su pureza espiritual. La intención de la amonestación de Josué no era promover la pureza racial o étnica, sino evitar la idolatría, que podía conducir al colapso espiritual de Israel. El caso de Salomón es un ejemplo dramático de las tristes consecuencias espirituales de los matrimonios mixtos (1 Rey. 3:1; 11:1-8). En el Nuevo Testamento, se exhorta firmemente a los cristianos a no unirse en matrimonio con no creyentes (2 Cor. 6:14), aunque, en el caso de los matrimonios existentes, Pablo no aconseja al cónyuge creyente que se divorcie del incrédulo, sino que lleve una vida cristiana ejemplar con la esperanza de ganar al no creyente para el Señor (1 Cor. 7:12-16). La advertencia de Josué contra las asociaciones perjudiciales conduce inevitablemente a la cuestión de la relación del cristiano con el “mundo”. ¿Cómo podemos mantener una relación equilibrada con la sociedad que nos rodea? 

¿A quién obedecer cuando dos gigantes espirituales se contradicen?

Feeling isolated with her experience, and a sudden very strong feeling of needing to understand what happened, this 'download' marked the beginning of Poly's connection with the E.T phenomenon. Venturing into adulthood, Poly pursued a B.A in Journalism and Social Communication after graduating from school. Her life journey took her to Israel in 1999, where she resides to this day. Her Experiences Intensified after moving, with astral travelings and sightings.

I sat down with Tusar Barik, the SVP of Marketing at the New York Times, who's just past his first year in this newly created role. We explored how the Times has transformed from a traditional newspaper into a multifaceted media company spanning news, games, podcasts, cooking, sports, and more. Tusar leads a comprehensive team managing everything from measurement and data insights to product marketing, editorial advertising opportunities, and traditional communications. What struck me most was learning that the Times now reaches over 150 million registered users with 50 to 100 million weekly engagers, seeing the highest growth among Gen Z adults and audiences in the Midwest and South. The digital advertising business delivered over 20% year-over-year growth, proving that quality journalism and a direct relationship with readers creates a powerhouse advertising platform.We dove deep into how the Times is meeting consumers where they are through video-forward strategies, producing over 75 hours of professional video monthly and transforming podcasts into multimodal shows available as both audio and video. Tusar shared insights on their Brand Match generative AI product that delivers 30% improvements in both click-through rates and brand lift by intelligently matching advertiser briefs with the right content. We explored how games like Wordle have been part of the Times' DNA since the 1940s crossword, how The Daily creates deeply personal connections with millions, and why the Times sees itself as a solar system with news at the center. The conversation revealed a company that's successfully balanced subscription-first strategy with a thriving advertising business by staying true to its mission while innovating how it reaches and serves audiences._______________________________________________Key Highlights

Visit aembit.io/idac to learn more.Jeff and Jim welcome David Goldschlag, CEO and Co-founder of Aembit, to discuss the rapidly evolving world of non-human access and workload identity. With the rise of AI agents in the enterprise, organizations face a critical challenge: how to secure software-to-software connections without relying on static, shared credentials.David shares his unique background, ranging from working on The Onion Router (Tor) at the Naval Research Lab to the DIVX rental system, and explains how those experiences inform his approach to identity today. The conversation covers the distinction between human and non-human access, the risks of using user credentials for AI agents, and why we must shift from managing secrets to managing access policies.This episode explores real-world use cases for AI agents in financial services and retail, the concept of hybrid versus autonomous agents, and practical advice for identity practitioners looking to get ahead of the agentic AI wave.Visit Aembit: https://aembit.io/idacConnect with David: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgoldschlagConnect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at idacpodcast.comTimestamps00:00 - Intro00:51 - Pronunciation of Aembit and the extra 'E'01:56 - David's background: From NSA to Enterprise Security04:58 - The meaning behind the name Aembit06:00 - David's history with The Onion Router (Tor)10:00 - Differentiating Non-Human Access from Workforce IAM11:39 - The security risks of AI Agents using human credentials14:15 - Manage Access, Not Secrets16:00 - Use Cases: Financial Analysts and Retail24:00 - Hybrid Agents vs. Autonomous Agents30:38 - Will we have agentic versions of ourselves?36:45 - How Identity Practitioners can handle the AI wave38:33 - Measuring success and ROI for workload identity43:20 - A blast from the past: DIVX and Circuit City52:15 - ClosingKeywordsIDAC, Identity at the Center, Jeff Steadman, Jim McDonald, Aembit, David Goldschlag, Non-human access, Workload Identity, AI Agents, Machine Identity, Cybersecurity, IAM, InfoSec, Tor, DIVX, Zero Trust, Secrets Management, Authentication, Authorization
