A passion for supporting families during birth is the foundation for a career as a doula. But once that foundation has been laid, it takes business skills, boundaries, and collaboration to be sustainable.   In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with Katie Nyberg, founder of The Iowa Baby Ladies, about her journey from fifth-grade teacher to doula, trainer, and owner of one of Iowa's largest doula agencies. Katie shares the early lessons she learned about setting fees, communicating with clients, and navigating the unpredictable realities of on-call work. Katie also opens up about the exhaustion that once made her consider leaving birth work altogether, and the changes that helped her build a more sustainable career. She discusses how recognizing the root causes of burnout, diversifying income, creating intentional seasons of work and rest, and building supportive relationships with other doulas keep her going.   (02:05) Katie's journey from teacher to birth doula (04:55) Early lessons in business, fees, and communication (07:21) Setting healthy boundaries with clients (11:40) Navigating childcare and the on-call doula lifestyle (14:02) Preparing for long births and using backup support (19:53) Recognizing and addressing doula burnout (25:45) Saying no and making space for rest (27:05) Growing The Iowa Baby Ladies (33:41) Advice for new doulas getting started (37:02) Overcoming imposter syndrome through education and experience (43:13) Advice for building a lasting doula career Resources Learn more about the EBB Instructor Program: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/become-an-evidence-based-birth-instructor/ Find an EBB Instructor: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/find-an-instructor-parents/ Follow Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theiowababylady/ Learn more about the Iowa Baby Ladies: https://theiowababylady.com/ Evidence on: Doulas EBB 364 – How to Prevent and Heal Birthworker Burnout with Doctoral Student Ihotu Ali and Grace Flannery, Certified Professional Midwife

Episode 517: How a Bloody Trauma Case Cured My Lifelong Blood Phobia Hosts: Kevin Cornelius, LMFT Dr. David Burns Episode Summary Can your greatest fear become one of your greatest strengths? In this deeply personal episode, Dr. David Burns shares the remarkable true story of how a severe lifelong blood phobia nearly ended his medical career—and how one unforgettable day in the emergency room transformed that fear forever. David recounts his unconventional path to becoming a psychiatrist, including almost dropping out of medical school, taking years away from medicine, living without money while trying to create a life centered around helping others, and eventually finding his way back to psychiatry through a residency at Highland Hospital in Oakland. On his very first day in the emergency department, David was confronted with what seemed like his worst nightmare: a critically injured bombing victim covered in blood. Unable to avoid the situation, he was asked to help clean gunpowder from the patient's wounds. What began as overwhelming terror became an unexpected turning point that permanently erased his blood phobia—and ultimately shaped his career treating anxiety disorders. Along the way, David and Kevin explore why exposure is one of the most powerful treatments for anxiety, why motivation is essential for lasting change, and why courage doesn't require the absence of fear. This inspiring conversation is a reminder that the experiences we most want to avoid can sometimes become the doorway to profound growth. In This Episode Why David never intended to become a physician—and almost quit medical school. The childhood experiences that contributed to his lifelong blood phobia. How avoiding feared situations keeps anxiety alive. The extraordinary trauma case that unexpectedly became David's own exposure therapy. The surprising moment his fear disappeared completely. David's concept of the "200% cure"—when something you once feared becomes something you genuinely enjoy. Why therapists sometimes avoid using exposure therapy, even though it is one of the most effective anxiety treatments. Why motivation often determines whether people are able to face their fears. The role of acceptance and willingness during exposure. A moving reunion with Highland Hospital decades later through the surgeon who recently performed David's successful colon surgery. Key Takeaways Exposure works because avoidance keeps fear alive. The natural impulse is to escape what frightens us. Unfortunately, every act of avoidance teaches the brain that the feared situation is dangerous. When we stay in the feared situation long enough, anxiety eventually peaks and then naturally declines. The feared catastrophe rarely occurs, and our confidence grows. Courage means acting while you're afraid. Kevin highlights an important distinction: You don't have to eliminate fear before taking action. Real courage is moving forward even while your anxiety feels overwhelming. David's anxiety remained at a 100 out of 100 for nearly fifteen minutes before it suddenly dissolved. Anxiety cannot remain at its peak forever. One of the biggest misconceptions about anxiety is the belief that once it starts, it will continue indefinitely. In reality, anxiety naturally rises and falls. If we stop escaping and allow ourselves to experience it, it eventually loses its power. Motivation makes exposure possible. For years David simply avoided blood. Everything changed because he had something more important than avoiding fear: he wanted to become a psychiatrist. Having a compelling reason to face anxiety often makes difficult exposure exercises possible. Sometimes fear transforms into enthusiasm. David describes what he calls the "200% cure." A 100% cure means you're no longer afraid. A 200% cure means you actually enjoy doing the very thing you once feared. Many people who overcome fears discover new passions that once seemed impossible. Therapists can become afraid of their patients' anxiety. Kevin and David discuss an important obstacle in treatment: therapists themselves sometimes avoid exposure because they're afraid it will overwhelm the client. Ironically, protecting people from anxiety often prolongs suffering. Learning that anxiety is uncomfortable—but not dangerous—is one of the most healing discoveries patients can make. Exposure requires willingness, not comfort. The goal is never to feel relaxed before confronting a fear. The goal is to become willing to experience anxiety while pursuing what matters. Memorable Quotes "When you confront the thing you're afraid of, you discover that the monster has no teeth." "You don't have to be a hero. You just have to make the decision to do it." "The 100% cure is you're no longer afraid. The 200% cure is that you love doing the thing you were once afraid of." "The real harm is believing that anxiety itself is dangerous."

For years, organizations could define a role and expect its responsibilities to remain relatively stable. Today, that assumption no longer holds.  AI is reshaping work. New skills emerge constantly. Responsibilities evolve faster than organizations can update job descriptions, job architectures, or compensation frameworks.  The result? Employees are doing work that doesn't match their job descriptions. Recruiters are hiring for skills that don't fit existing roles. Compensation teams are trying to benchmark jobs that seem to change every quarter.  So what happens when the work changes faster than the systems designed to define it?  In this episode, we explore why organizations need to rethink job architecture for a world of continuous change, how AI is accelerating skills evolution, and what HR leaders can do to build job frameworks that are flexible enough for the future.  Host:   Ruth Thomas – Chief Compensation Strategist, Payscale    Guest:   Katrina Kibben – Founder, Three Ears Media | Recruiting Trainer, Author, and Keynote Speaker  Episode resources: Watch recording: How to prevent offer and pay alignment issues that create hiring delays​ Watch recording: The right and wrong way to use AI in job descriptions

In this episode, I dive into what truly separates exceptional health and wellness practitioners from the crowd and why a certification or degree alone won't make you irreplaceable.

In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane, Bob, and Dorell Wright turn the spotlight on co-host Chris Johnson for part one of his full story. Chris opens up about growing up in Waco, Texas with two supportive fathers, a mother who never said a negative word about his biological dad, and a grandfather named Shot Shot who ran a barbecue business and whistled from blocks away when the streetlights came on. He refused to change his last name at 10 because Magic Johnson was the coldest player he’d ever seen, and his mother used his child support checks to teach him banking and let him buy Jordans and Starter jackets. He talks about getting subbed out at the park as a kid, training alone on his imagination, a coach who slid plays to him on index cards during history class, and deciding at 13 that if the pros didn’t work out he was going to be one of the best coaches in the game. He also covers rupturing his Achilles, watching 9/11 unfold helpless in his mother’s bed, earning a master’s in counseling at 22 with a 4.2 GPA, and coaching a 16-0 national championship football team before getting his real shot in basketball.

What to listen for:"The future of leak detection isn't one technology replacing another. It's collaborating with this whole process and working together to save our water."In this second half of their conversation, our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, talk with Lolita Shaffer to move past the why of water leak detection dogs and into the how.A Cherokee Nation–funded study sent two golden retrievers across 30 miles of pipe in five days, flagging areas where acoustic crews later confirmed a leak 100% of the time, totaling roughly 4 million gallons lost. A dog "hitting" an odor pool isn't a pin on a map. Rather, it's a dome of scent that has to be read, triangulated, and cross-checked. This is the same skill Robin brings from human-remains work, where handlers report behavior, not conclusions.That craft of analyzing that dome of scent, Lolita insists, has to be built and licensed like any trade.Handlers calibrate dogs to a district's specific chemical signature, as chlorine and fluorine sit close enough on the periodic table to complicate a reading. They drill leash discipline, since losing a leash near traffic means losing a thousand-pound risk. And they finish an Operational Readiness Training Evaluation, which is a week embedded with water operators, capped by a double-blind test over a live leak field.There are some pretty big stakes to justify this rigor. Digging up a suspected leak can run $3,000 an hour, so a utility needs confidence and not just “educated guesses”.With up to half the water workforce retiring within five years, and dogs now being asked about lead-pipe detection, it's clearly a crucial, credentialed profession. It's one that turns a good nose and a good handler into a real, benefits-earning career.  Key Topics:Dogs and Acoustics in Tandem (01:14)Reading the "Odor Dome" (09:53)A Retiring Workforce and a New Career Pipeline (21:30)Calibrating the Nose to Chlorine (and Fluorine) (24:48)Leash Handling as a Safety Requirement (26:49)The ORTE: A Week-Long, Double-Blind Field Test (29:08)The $3,000-an-Hour Dig (32:01)Not Every Job Needs a Ferrari: Matching Dog to Deployment (32:54)Key Takeaways (39:43)  Resources:K9 Pipeline Detection Association (K9PDA) https://www.k9pda.org/K9 Water Leak Detection University (K9WLDU) https://www.k9waterleakdetectionuniversity.com/Water Leak Detection Dogs on FB https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551098070706Water Professionals International https://gowpi.org/American Water Works Association (AWWA) https://www.awwa.orgWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

The Man Who Was Fired Five Times How Letting Go of Blame Can Transform Your Life Hosts: Kevin Cornelius, LMFT Dr. David Burns What if the biggest obstacle to your happiness isn't your depression, your anxiety, or even the difficult people around you? What if it's the belief that everyone else needs to change first? In this powerful episode of the Feeling Good Podcast, Dr. David Burns and host Kevin Cornelius, LMFT, discuss one of David's favorite therapy stories from his recent Psychology Today article, "The Man Who Was Fired Five Times." What begins as the story of a brilliant computer programmer who can't keep a job becomes an unforgettable lesson in overcoming resistance, building meaningful relationships, and discovering the extraordinary power of humility. This episode is packed with practical TEAM-CBT techniques, fascinating therapy demonstrations, and one of the most inspiring recovery stories you'll ever hear. In This Episode A Brilliant Man Who Couldn't Keep a Job David introduces us to "Bhagwant" (a pseudonym), an exceptionally gifted computer programmer who sought treatment after being fired five times in just two years. Although he initially came to therapy complaining of low self-esteem, David quickly noticed something much deeper. Bhagwant believed: His coworkers were conspiring against him. His bosses failed to appreciate his intelligence. Other people were the source of nearly all his suffering. Despite his obvious brilliance, his habit of blaming others had become the greatest obstacle to both his career and his happiness. Why David Didn't Try to Help Him...At First Instead of immediately offering therapy techniques, David did something surprising. He told Bhagwant that perhaps they shouldn't work together. Why? Because therapy would require Bhagwant—not his coworkers—to do all of the changing. Rather than arguing with Bhagwant or trying to convince him he was wrong, David used one of the most powerful TEAM-CBT methods: Dangling the Carrot By joining Bhagwant's resistance instead of fighting it, David completely changed the emotional dynamic. Instead of saying: "You're the problem." He essentially said: "You're right—it seems terribly unfair that you'd have to do all the work when everyone else is causing the problem." That paradoxical response immediately dissolved Bhagwant's resistance. Moments later, he admitted something he had hidden from David: He hadn't merely been placed on probation. He had already been fired—for the fifth time. Why Specificity Matters One of the central themes of the episode is David's insistence on working with specific moments instead of vague labels. Rather than treating "low self-esteem" as the problem, David asks: What happened? Where were you? What time was it? What exactly were you thinking? This "fractal" approach allows therapy to target the real thoughts creating emotional suffering instead of treating abstract diagnostic labels. As David explains, problems can only be solved when they're connected to a real moment in time. Recovery Begins with Practice Once Bhagwant committed fully to treatment, he became an extraordinarily dedicated student of TEAM-CBT. He learned to: Identify cognitive distortions Challenge negative thoughts using Externalization of Voices Master the Five Secrets of Effective Communication Replace defensiveness with curiosity and empathy At one point, David actually had to limit Bhagwant's therapy homework because he was spending six to eight hours a day practicing. The Job Interview That Changed Everything Eventually Bhagwant received a job offer from a company in Florida. David gave him one final piece of surprising advice: Ask your new employer to agree to criticize you every single week. Specifically, David suggested requesting regular meetings where supervisors would openly point out mistakes so Bhagwant could practice using the Five Secrets and the Disarming Technique. The company agreed. The results were astonishing. Within weeks: He had developed excellent relationships with coworkers. He won Employee of the Month. He received multiple promotions. His salary doubled. Years later, David received a Christmas card that brought tears to his eyes. Bhagwant had become CEO of the very company that hired him. The Disarming Technique Much of the second half of the episode explores one of the most challenging—and most transformative—TEAM-CBT skills. What Is Disarming? Disarming means sincerely finding the truth in criticism, even when the criticism seems exaggerated or unfair. David explains what he calls the Law of Opposites: Defending yourself often convinces others the criticism is true. Agreeing sincerely with whatever truth exists often causes the criticism to lose its power. This simple paradox can dramatically transform difficult conversations. Live Role-Playing Kevin and David demonstrate the Disarming Technique through several live role plays. David criticizes Kevin as being: Fake Inexperienced Pretending to know more than he really does Kevin practices agreeing with the truth in the criticism instead of defending himself. David then coaches Kevin to go even deeper—not by problem-solving or trying to improve himself immediately, but by becoming genuinely curious about the other person's experience. Later, the roles reverse, and Kevin criticizes David for being: Cranky Impatient Insensitive David demonstrates how quickly criticism melts away when someone responds with humility, openness, and genuine curiosity. These demonstrations beautifully illustrate why the Disarming Technique is often one of the hardest TEAM-CBT skills to master—and one of the most powerful. Why Resistance Matters Throughout the episode, David explains that resistance is not an obstacle to therapy. It's the doorway into effective therapy. Rather than pushing people toward change, TEAM-CBT first helps people understand why changing feels difficult. Once resistance melts away, motivation naturally appears. Enlightenment and the "Death of the Self" The conversation concludes with a reflection on one of David's favorite philosophical themes. Drawing from Buddhist psychology, David discusses how learning to accept criticism requires what he calls "the death of the self"—letting go of pride, defensiveness, and the constant need to protect one's ego. Rather than seeing criticism as an attack, we can learn to experience it as an opportunity for connection, growth, and deeper understanding. Resource Mentioned Dr. David Burns' Psychology Today article: "The Man Who Was Fired Five Times" Memorable Takeaways The biggest obstacle to change is often our resistance—not our symptoms. Therapy becomes far more effective when it focuses on one specific moment instead of broad labels. Defending yourself usually strengthens criticism; finding the truth in it often dissolves conflict. Humility builds stronger relationships than winning arguments. Learning to respond differently to criticism can transform not only your mood, but your career, your relationships, and your entire life. Whether you're a therapist, a parent, a leader, or simply someone who wants healthier relationships, this episode offers practical tools and inspiring hope that lasting change is possible—even after years of frustration and failure.

Beim FC Basel kehrt auch nach dem 2:1 im Klassiker gegen den FC Zürich keine Ruhe ein. Im Zentrum der Diskussionen steht Trainer Stephan Lichtsteiner: Hat er tatsächlich die Kabine verloren? Warum wird er von Valentin Stocker, Andreas Herrmann und David Degen so alleine gelassen? Oder verfolgt der FCB mit Lichtsteiner sogar einen grösseren Plan – und soll der Trainer die Loslösung von Captain Xherdan Shaqiri umsetzen? In der 363. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» analysieren wir gemeinsam mit Uli Forte die aktuelle Situation beim FC Basel, dem FC Zürich und den weiteren Clubs der Super League. Der derzeit vereinslose Trainer erklärt, warum der FCZ einen Zentrumsspieler braucht, der die Liga bereits kennt. Weshalb der Torhüter-Wechsel beim FC Luzern von Simon Simoni zu Karlo Letica die richtige Entscheidung war. Und warum sich die Lage beim FC Thun in den kommenden Wochen noch weiter verschlimmern könnte. Ausserdem spricht Forte über seine Erfahrungen als vereinsloser Trainer und erklärt, was man in dieser Phase zwischen Bewerbungen, Beobachtungen und Vorbereitung auf die nächste Aufgabe tatsächlich macht. Das und mehr in der 364. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit».Die Themen: 00:00 Intro 03:55 Unruhe um Stephan Lichtsteiner und den FC Basel 31:55 Ist der FC Zürich 30 Millionen wert? 42:15 Karlo Letica statt Simon Simoni beim FC Luzern 52:58 Was Vaduz von Thun unterscheidet 01:05:07 Sanches muss in den Kraftraum 01:10:00 Was macht ein vereinsloser Trainer?

Episode 53 of Along for the Ride features KOLE PRICE: 2026 RUN FOR A MILLION CHAMPION, with special guest Taylor Sheridan. There are runs you win, and then there are runs that change the standard. I sat down with Kole to talk about his incredible 237.5 on GOLDEN COINS, what went into that run, and the road that took him from leaving home at 16 to becoming one of the top trainers in our industry. Kole has built his career the hard way...working for great horsemen, putting in the years, building Price Performance Horses with Kelsey, and proving himself at the highest level. Today, he has more than $2.6 million in NRHA earnings and is a two-time Run For A Million Champion. And this one was pretty personal for me. That 237.5 broke the record I had held for 19 years. Records are made to be broken, and watching Kole put together that kind of run on that stage was something special. Taylor Sheridan also joins us to talk about the 2026 Run For A Million, what this event has become, and where he sees our sport going from here. Great horses. Great competition. And a conversation between people who understand exactly what it takes to keep raising the bar. Sponsors Bimeda - Gastrobim.  bimeda.com National Horse Blankets.  nationalhorseblankets.com

Lured Up Podcast 405: Live Streamed on - 8/18/2026 Publish Date - 8/20/2026 We got back to basics last week, so we get back to gameplay this week. We start with a recap of the last week including having a week off of events, Nickit Community Day, and the kickoff of the Water Festival. Adam worked a card show but was able to squeeze in the final hour, and Ken was able to play in Red Bank with a solid group of Trainers. The Water Festival is a pretty awesome event, with new Pokémon, boosted Shinies, and some solid Tier 1 and 3 Raids. This week is also a great one to put in some grinding as we earn more and more XP and Stardust bonuses as we progress through the event. That week off was a nice break but Lunala and Mega Starmie mean that it is time to get back to Raids.Lunala's Shiny debut will be a popular one for sure, and a Super Mega Raid Day for Starmie will be 6 hours of Mega Raid goodness. We take a look at both Pokebattler and GO Hub to put a little Raid Guide and Battle Party together for them both. We will likely see plenty of Mega Mewtwo Y in the lobbies as it is a top counter for both bosses. We have some time before the end of month push with XP, Worlds, Mega Ascension, and the Mega Finale take over our lives for a bit. This week is the perfect opportunity to perform your Pokémon storage and item maintenance. It has been a struggle for many to recover from GO Fest, so you should have awareness now if you want to make sure your GO Plus can run non stop during the events. Is buying box storage the answer? It is really only a short term solution because if you don't have an inventory plan, you will end up out of space very quickly. We wrap up with our Professor's Principle of the week, which takes a look at how important it is to position yourself in a way to achieve small victories. From setting fun and unique personal challenges in the game, to letting Party play guide you, there are ways to keep momentum pushing forward to make a gameplay session more fun and engaging, without needing a big reward at the end. It parallels well with life too. Pride is an awesome feeling that is helped along when you feel accomplished. Finding a process that includes small and achievable goals is an awesome way to keep yourself feeling driven and motivated to press on.

Half Time Is Over: Finish 2026 Strong Time is ticking away on 2026 and it might feel like you have just over 4 months left in the year, you really only have 3. The whistle blew on June 30th, and now is the time to take action if you want to impact what remains of 2026. Most leaders spend August telling themselves there's plenty of time, but November and December already belong to holidays, budget season, and year-end close. That leaves August, September, and October as the window where the work actually happens. This is the halftime audit for anyone responsible for a team, a customer experience, or a budget. Special shout out to all the campuses opening this week in higher education - thanks for welcoming the student back and creating a place where they can feel like they belong. Let's talk about the halftime audit - customers, teams, strategy, and you. This is how you will crush the rest of the year. In this episode: • Why role clarity rather than motivation is the quiet drag on your team's performance right now • Prioritize quality recognition and coaching around your most important priorities • Focus on what matters most going into year end - you can't tackle everything, so focus on key priorities with impact • Decide what you'll focus on, what needs to be removed from your list, and what gets pushed to 2027   Perfect for: hospitality leaders, business owners, CEOS, COOs, CX/EX professionals, operational managers, retail and service teams, training and development leaders, and anyone responsible for people and performance (and sales growth).

Training is not successful because we covered the material.It is successful when people remember what they learned, make sense of it, and actually do something differently afterward.Katrina Kennedy returns to Lessons from Learning Leaders for a conversation about what trainers can do inside the learning experience to make that more likely.Katrina describes herself as an accidental trainer. She entered learning and development because a manager noticed she could communicate, then built a career spanning nearly three decades helping subject matter experts, facilitators, and trainers design and deliver better learning.A major focus of our conversation is reflection, but Katrina makes an important distinction between reflection, retrieval, and the traditional review that trainers often use.A review usually means the trainer repeats the important points.Retrieval makes the learner do the work of pulling the information back out of memory.Reflection then asks the learner to move forward with it.What does this mean for me?What am I going to do?How will I apply this when I return to work?That distinction led us into a conversation about one of my favorite Bob Pike activities, Give One, Get One. Participants retrieve the most important ideas from the session, get up and share them with other people, add useful ideas they hear, and then return to their seats.After talking with Katrina, I realized the activity needed one more step: ask participants to choose one of those ideas and identify exactly how they are going to use it.Now the activity combines retrieval, reflection, movement, social learning, and application.Katrina also shares some of the thinking behind her upcoming ATD Core 4 session, “Your Training Is Missing This and You Don't Even Know It.”She has created a 16-card diagnostic that helps trainers examine whether important elements of effective learning are missing from their sessions. Some of the questions are deceptively simple:Do participants move?Do they have opportunities to reflect?Are they given breaks from cognitive load?Are they connecting with one another?The point is not to add activities simply to make training more entertaining. Each element serves a learning purpose.Movement can help reset attention. Reflection gives people time to process what they have learned. Retrieval strengthens memory. Connection allows participants to learn from the experience already present in the room.That last point led us somewhere I think trainers sometimes overlook.When participants interact with each other during training, we may be creating value that extends beyond the course itself.Someone discovers that a colleague has expertise they did not know about. A relationship develops. Months later, when a problem appears on the job, that participant now knows someone they can call.Training can strengthen the informal network inside an organization while it develops individual capability.We also talk about doing this virtually. Connection does not disappear simply because the training happens through a screen. Chat, breakout rooms, questions, introductions, and opportunities for participants to contribute can all make a webinar feel more like a learning experience and less like watching someone talk through slides.Underlying the entire conversation is a larger challenge for our profession.Too much training is still judged by whether people attended, completed the course, or enjoyed the experience. Those measures may be useful, but they do not tell us whether people changed their behavior or whether organizational performance improved.If learning and development wants to be viewed as an investment rather than an expense, trainers have to think beyond delivery.We need to create the conditions that help learning survive after participants leave the room.That means giving people time to retrieve, reflect, connect, practice, and decide what they are going to do next.Katrina's Book: Learning That LastsKatrina is also the author of Learning That Lasts: Reflection Activities for Trainers and Designers, a practical collection of more than 45 reflection activities designed to help trainers intentionally build reflection into learning before, during, and after the session. Katrina organizes the activities around eight outcomes, including stronger motivation, connection, memory, critical thinking, and improved performance.Get Learning That Lasts on AmazonConnect with Katrina KennedyYou can learn more about Katrina's work, workshops, resources, and newsletter at her website.Visit KatrinaKennedy.comYou can also connect with Katrina on LinkedIn.Connect with Katrina Kennedy on LinkedInBring This Conversation to Your OrganizationIf this episode has you thinking about what happens between delivering information and actually changing performance, that is a conversation worth having with your training team.Better learning does not necessarily require more content. Sometimes it means creating more opportunities for people to retrieve what they know, reflect on what it means, learn from one another, and leave with a clear idea of what they will do differently.If you would like help creating learning experiences that produce more participation, stronger transfer, and better performance, I'd be glad to talk.Learn more at DuaneLester.com.Share this episode with a trainer, facilitator, or learning leader who wants to create learning that lasts, and subscribe to Lessons from Learning Leaders so you don't miss the next conversation.

Episode 515: Ask David Parenting Meltdowns, Real-Time TEAM-CBT, and When Negative Thoughts Won't Stop What do you do when your child has a public meltdown—and you feel your own frustration rising just as quickly? And what if your mind feels so overwhelmed with anxious or depressive thoughts that completing a Daily Mood Log seems impossible? In this Ask David episode, Dr. David Burns is joined by host Kevin Cornelius, LMFT, and Psychiatrist/TEAM-CBT therapist Dr. Matt May to answer two thoughtful listener questions that many parents and therapy enthusiasts will recognize. Together, they demonstrate TEAM-CBT techniques live, showing not only what to do, but how to think differently in the moment. Along the way, they explore why changing your relationship with your own thoughts is often more important than trying to control other people's behavior. In This Episode Question 1: How Do I Use TEAM-CBT in Real Time When My Child Has a Meltdown? A listener describes taking his two young sons to the driving range when one child suddenly wants to leave while the other wants to stay. As frustration mounts, so do the automatic thoughts: "He's being a brat." "He's too immature for this." "He's ungrateful and whines all the time." Although the listener can challenge these thoughts later using a Daily Mood Log, he wonders: How can I use TEAM-CBT in the middle of an emotionally charged parenting moment? David, Kevin, and Matt explore this question through several live demonstrations. Topics Include: Why self-compassion comes before effective parenting The danger of "should" statements directed at yourself How beating yourself up actually makes it harder to respond compassionately Why practice outside emotional moments prepares you for success inside emotional moments Accepting your own imperfections as a parent Matt demonstrates how to respond to his own inner critic using Externalization of Voices, replacing self-criticism with realistic self-acceptance instead of perfectionism. Challenging "Shoulds" About Other People The conversation then shifts to another common trap: Trying to make other people different than they are. Together they examine several automatic thoughts parents commonly experience: "He's being a brat." "He's too immature." "He's ungrateful." David helps Matt and Kevin identify the cognitive distortions hiding inside these thoughts, including: Labeling Hidden should statements Unrealistic expectations Blaming Rather than arguing intellectually, they demonstrate TEAM-CBT methods such as: Acceptance Paradox Self-Defense Counterattack Externalization of Voices The discussion highlights an important insight: Much of our emotional suffering comes not from other people's behavior—but from insisting they should be different than they are. Kevin shares a personal story about using the Feeling Great app's Paradoxical Magnification exercise to dissolve his own "should" statements about parenting through humor and acceptance. Question 2: What If My Mind Never Stops Producing Negative Thoughts? The second listener has struggled with depression and anxiety since adolescence. Although he believes in TEAM-CBT, he finds the Daily Mood Log overwhelming because his mind produces what feels like hundreds of negative thoughts every minute. His questions include: How long should I spend on a Daily Mood Log? Do I need to answer every negative thought? Why can't I create positive thoughts that actually feel believable? David's Advice Dr. Burns explains that: 10–20 minutes of Daily Mood Log work is usually enough. You do not need to answer every negative thought. Most automatic thoughts are simply variations of a handful of core beliefs. Consistent practice matters much more than perfection. Using his own recovery after recent surgery as an example, David reminds listeners that small, steady efforts often produce remarkable long-term change. Helpful TEAM-CBT Strategies Discussed Kevin describes how simply sitting down with the Daily Mood Log often quiets his racing mind and helps him focus on what truly matters. David recommends another powerful exercise: Negative Practice Instead of fighting racing thoughts: Schedule a few minutes. Record every negative thought without challenging them. Then listen back to the recording. Many people discover that simply hearing their thoughts aloud changes their relationship to them. Matt also emphasizes several uncovering techniques that help identify the deeper beliefs generating so many automatic thoughts, including: The What-If Technique Individual Downward Arrow Cost-Benefit Analysis Positive Reframing Rather than trying to "think positively," TEAM-CBT first helps eliminate the hidden resistance that makes positive thoughts difficult to believe. A Quick Speed Round Near the end of the episode, David introduces a new experiment: Rapid-fire Ask David answers. In just thirty seconds, he explains one of the central concepts from Feeling Great: The Four Deaths of the Self The death of the Special Self (depression) The death of the Fearful Self (anxiety) The death of the Angry, Blaming Self (relationship conflict) The death of the Entitled Pleasure-Seeking Self (habits and addictions) David explains that each "death" ultimately reveals something surprising: There was never anything essential to lose—only freedom to gain. Listener Feedback The team asks for your input: Would you rather hear: Longer, in-depth discussions of just a few questions? Faster "speed round" answers covering many listener questions?

In the second half of the conversation, Jessica goes deeper into the philosophy behind teaching horses and riders. She explains why good horsemanship starts with the human, why rapport matters more than speed, and how patience, structure, and clear communication create better outcomes for both horse and rider.Connect with Sandy and Cara on Facebook!Key Topics Covered:The importance of understanding horse behaviorWhy “the process does not look like the product”Breaking training into small, achievable stepsChoosing credentialed instructors and sticking with one methodWhy video and feedback matter in trainingHow horses respond to human impatience and pressureThe 15-minute learning window for horses and humansWhy rapport is the foundation of every good partnershipJessica's future goals in teaching and continued growthHow building a strong foundation supports every disciplineClosing Thought:Part 2 centers on Jessica's teaching philosophy: that true horsemanship is built on relationship, patience, and the willingness to keep learning.

Who gets a front row seat in your life? Not who you post about. Not who you have known the longest. The people who actually sit closest to you, who shape the way you think, the way you love, the way you show up in the world, whether you have chosen them consciously or not. Most of us are living with an audience we never actually auditioned. And that audience is writing the story of our confidence, our health, our relationships, our business, before we even realise the pen is in their hand.Growth is not just an inner shift. It is a social one. The moment you start becoming someone new, some relationships will stretch to meet you and some will not, and both of those things can be true without either person being wrong. This conversation is about learning to tell the difference between a season ending and a person leaving. It is about the radical, unselfish act of loving yourself first, so the home you build and the people you hold can feel it too.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/707 for the show notes.Get on my email list: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterGet my FREE ZenTone Meditation: www.melissaambrosini.com/zentoneFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

Can't lift heavy loads but still want the benefits of heavy lifting? Blood flow restriction (BFR) training—using cuffs to partially restrict venous blood flow so you can get heavy‑lifting‑like gains with much lighter loads—could be just what you need, says this week's guest, veteran strength coach Ashley Selman, CSCS. In this episode, we dig into what BFR training is, how it's done in real‑world workouts, who it's for, and why it can be a powerful option for midlife athletes who can't tolerate traditional heavy lifting but still want to build and maintain muscle, strength, bone health, and even VO₂ max.Ashley Selman, MA, CSCS, is a veteran strength coach with 30+ years' experience working with elite athletes, collegiate programs at Stanford and the University of Oregon, and clients at every level. She was named one of the Top 100 Trainers in the U.S. by Men's Journal and founded Evolution Trainers in Mountain View, California, voted the number one health club in Silicon Valley. After a difficult hip replacement and early menopause at 43 left her losing muscle despite “doing everything right,” discovering blood flow restriction (BFR) training allowed her to rapidly regain strength she hadn't felt in over 15 years, which inspired her to create Seli Strength, a virtual BFR program now serving hundreds of midlife women. She recently developed "Coaching Blood Flow Restriction Training: The Future of Fitness" with the American Council on Exercise (ACE), for fitness professionals who want to bring BFR training to their clients.

She's the #1 AI trainer in the world. She's also, in my opinion, one of the best people leaders I've ever watched work.Nobody asks Callan about the second thing. This is that conversation — the call that had nothing to do with AI, the launch that broke live in front of 7,500 people, and what she did with her team in the 24 hours after.

What if the loneliest place on earth isn't an empty room — it's a crowded one?Michael Trainer has spent 30 years studying human connection, from indigenous healers in Sri Lanka to Harvard neuroscientists, and what he found will change the way you think about loneliness. Over 61% of Americans — including many who are married — identify as lonely. The surgeon general declared it a public health pandemic. And yet the cure might be simpler than you think.In this episode, Michael shares how getting violently beaten by a gang at age 12 left him terrified of other people — and how that same wound eventually led him to co-found Global Citizen, raising over $40 billion to fight extreme poverty. He also opens up about watching his father slowly lose his mind to dementia, and the unexpected healing that came from filling his car with flowers and listening to strangers.This is a conversation about what it actually means to feel seen, heard, and chosen — and how to build a life full of people who charge you up rather than drain you.Send us a text message.
