Podcasts about Understanding Power

Brian Kemski wants to know how to stop prospects from ghosting him. He asks question that plagues salespeople everywhere: "What can I do about prospects who go through the process, seem interested, and then disappear into the witness protection program after I give them my information?" If you've been in sales for more than a week, you know exactly what Brian is talking about. You have a great discovery call, you build rapport, you send over your proposal or pricing...and suddenly—radio silence. The prospect ghosts you, leaving you frantically checking your email every five minutes and wondering what the hell happened. In this Ask Jeb episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast I'm going to teach you how to prevent it. You Gave Away Your Leverage for Free During our conversation, I asked Brian to consider what he'd do if I offered him $100 to go get me a Big Mac. He wasn't interested. When I upped it to $200, he started considering it. At $500, he was ready to make the trip. Why? Because at $500, the value exchange made sense to him. Your sales information works exactly the same way. Your pricing, specs, and solutions have real value. When you hand them over without getting anything in return—especially before completing your sales process—you're essentially giving away hundred-dollar bills for free. And once you give away all your value, the prospect has no more reason to talk to you. Understanding Power and Leverage in Sales In most sales situations, your prospect has more power than you do because they have more alternatives than you. They can choose your competitors or simply decide to do nothing. The only way to level the playing field is through leverage—something you have that they want because it provides value to them. It's like that hurricane example I gave Brian: If there's a hurricane in Miami, all the power is out, and you're the only person selling ice, you have all the power because there are no other options. But in normal business situations, your prospect has plenty of options, which gives them power. Your information is the leverage that gets prospects to "dance to your tune." Once you give that away without getting anything in return, you've surrendered all your power. Your Sales Process Should Be a Value Exchange Here's what your sales process should look like instead: Use discovery calls to build value: Ask questions that help prospects think differently about their problems. Create insights they can't get elsewhere. Meet multiple stakeholders: Insist on speaking with everyone involved in the decision. This builds relationships across the organization and prevents ghosting. Present your proposal in person: NEVER email a proposal. Your proposal meeting should be a closing meeting where you're getting a yes or no. Look for engagement at every step: If prospects aren't willing to invest time and effort in your process, they're showing you they aren't serious. Each step of your process should involve the prospect giving something (usually time and information) to get something from you. This creates what psychologists call the "investment effect"—the more effort people put into something, the more they value it. The RFP Trap The clearest example of giving away leverage is responding to RFPs without conditions. When you fill out all that information and send it without meeting the decision-makers, you'll rarely hear back. My approach? "I'm not filling out all that information until you meet with me." If they want your solution badly enough, they'll meet. If they don't, you've saved yourself hours of wasted time. I practice what I preach, but I'm not perfect. Just last November, I spent 12 hours on a proposal I knew had little chance of closing because I'd skipped steps in my own process. I gave away my leverage for free, and they ghosted me—exactly as I predicted they would. I have to relearn this lesson once or twice a year. Maybe you do too.=

Effective communication is essential for leaders, but balancing authority with approachability can be challenging. Many leaders inadvertently hinder open communication, leading to disengaged teams and low morale. In this episode, we chat with author, keynote speaker, and speaking coach, Linnita Hosten on how she assists leaders in overcoming these challenges by emphasizing authenticity, self-awareness, and the power of voice, fostering better collaboration and productivity.Key Takeaways on Understanding Power in Leadership:• There are two types of power for leaders: earned authority and established influence.• Earned authority comes from building relationships and trust, making it easier to navigate conflicts.• Established influence relies on a leader's title and can lead to communication issues if empathy and connection are lacking.//WHEN YOU'RE READY, HERE'S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//TAKE THE FREE 5-MINUTE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENThttps://turningthecornerHR.com/quizSCHEDULE A CALL WITH A HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANThttps://turningthecornerHR.comLISTEN TO OUR PODCASTApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-turned-the-corner/id1637875430Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2S4sGuOSeXWXIKY7zMW1p5iHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-how-i-turned-the-corner-100448118/HIRE KENDRA AS A CONSULTANT OR KEYNOTE SPEAKERhttps://kendraprospero.com/________Say hello on social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18USlHyF1MEruK2tO3fdFQFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TurningTheCornerHRInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/turning_the_corner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/turning-the-corner/__________About Turning The Corner HRThe world of work is more complicated than ever, and traditional HR has struggled to keep pace.

Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell, along with returning guest Adam Marshall Rini, as they dive deep into John Carpenter's politically charged sci-fi action film They Live (1988). This cult classic starring WWE legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper delivers a scathing critique of Reaganomics and consumer culture through the lens of an alien invasion thriller.The hosts explore how They Live serves as a perfect gateway for introducing young audiences to anti-capitalist themes through its memorable combination of professional wrestling swagger and science fiction elements. While the film may be both "undercooked and overcooked," its messaging about class warfare and media manipulation remains startlingly relevant today.The episode features a fascinating discussion about John Carpenter's distinctive directing style, particularly his ability to craft compelling outsider characters and blend Western genre elements into urban settings. The hosts also dive into the film's practical effects, including its innovative black-and-white "alien vision" sequences and the infamous six-minute alley fight scene that has become a pop culture touchstone.Key Topics Discussed:The film's commentary on 1980s consumer culture and wealth inequalityRoddy Piper's transition from WWE superstar to action movie leadThe significance of the iconic sunglasses reveal (30 minutes into the film)Keith David's crucial supporting role and chemistry with PiperThe influence of They Live on modern media and pop cultureComparison to video games like Fallout: New VegasThe movie's lasting impact on anti-establishment messaging in filmWhether you're a longtime fan of John Carpenter's work or discovering They Live for the first time, this episode offers fresh insights into a movie that dares to ask who really controls our society – and what we're willing to do about it. The hosts rate the film on a scale of "sunglasses," leading to an interesting split between nostalgic appreciation and modern critical analysis.Wrap up the episode with some excellent recommendations for further exploration, including Fight Club, Noam Chomsky's "Understanding Power," and Green Day's political punk rock as natural next steps for those intrigued by the themes in They Live. --We couldn't do this without your support of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast!

This powerful episode in our Queer Futures series features an enlightening conversation about power structures with Jen and renowned author Roxanne Gay and co-writer Megan Pillow. The women explore not only the concept of individual power, but how we can engage in community empowerment. Together, they delve into how marginalized communities, particularly LGBTQ+ individuals, can claim their power and challenge existing power structures to create a more inclusive and just society. Discussion includes:  Claiming Individual Power: How women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others can assert their power in personal and professional spaces. Challenging Power Structures: The importance of calling out abuses of power and questioning the status quo Empowerment Through Solidarity: The role of community and collective action in amplifying individual voices and driving social progress. Re-examining Power Dynamics: How rethinking traditional notions of gender, race, and power can lead to more equitable outcomes. Focusing on the Margins: The significance of centering marginalized voices and experiences in conversations about power and progress. Roxanne and Megan discuss practical steps that anyone can take to empower others around them. We're encouraged to ask ourselves critical questions about our own relationships to power and to question the power sources that infringe on the rights of others and use our individual power to disrupt them. Every small act of resistance contributes to a larger movement for justice. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “Power doesn't affect all of us equally and some people are able to wield power or are given power, and others have power wielded against them. There are all kinds of factors that contribute to the why of that.” - Dr. Roxane Gay “When you see an abuse of power, call it out and identify it. Oftentimes power works because nobody questions it and nobody challenges it.” - Dr. Roxane Gay "We have to use voting as one tool [to enact change], but we have to figure out other ways to be involved in our communities and to enact other forms of power, not just rely on voting as the singular tool that we use to try to enact change.” - Dr. Roxane Gay “The queer future is complicated. I think the queer future is much better than the queer past, and we are really enjoying a lot of freedom. But it's not enough and until all of us are free, none of us are free.” - Dr. Roxane Gay Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Bad Feminist by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://roxanegay.com/books/bad-feminist/ Difficult Women by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://roxanegay.com/books/difficult-women/ Hunger by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://roxanegay.com/books/hunger/ All of Roxane's Books - https://roxanegay.com/books/ Do The Work: A Guide to Understanding Power and Creating Change by Dr.Roxane Gay and Dr. Megan Pillow - https://bit.ly/45nxhvd The Power Book: What is it, Who Has it, and Why? by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://bit.ly/3VBRYAl Obergefell v.

Send me a messageToday's friend of the pod is Paul Oosting - someone I was thrilled to chat with and learn from based on his career to date as a successful social and environmental change activist and advocator. I want to learn more about how change can be designed and organised and made possible and I know few who have a record like he does.Paul's professional career started out in the volatile world of Tasmanian forestry politics and community dynamics where he worked as a leading figure during the 2000s as part of successful campaign to halt the destruction of huge swathes of ancient Tasmanian forest through the logging activities of Gunns. Anyone who has a memory of nature conservancy and the preservation of wild places likely remembers not just the significance of this campaign individually, but the novel and innovative campaigning strategies and tactics Paul and The Wilderness Society developed by working through the value chain of Gunns' financiers where they succeeded in changing the lending decisions by ANZ in a time before ESG and responsible investment was at all a recognisable way of making decisions. This catalysed a new form of campaign activism here in Australia and beyond which has placed greater focus on the lending and investment decisions of large banks and other financial institutions.The second part of Paul's career that we spend time chatting about is the decade he spent at GetUp, including seven years as its CEO. Again, Paul found himself designing and implementing successful social and environmental change campaigns, growing GetUps membership beyond one million members and in many ways forging the path to the more diverse political system we now see in Australia after a record number of independents won office in 2022. In this chat we talk about not only the powerful and broad church Paul and GetUp built by binding regular Australians who shared similar values and desires for action on climate change, the humane treatment of refugees and the very reasonable ask for the effective scrutiny and accountability of our political system and its actors, but the enormity of fronting GetUp though this period when there were sustained attacks by conservative politicians and captured media interests - or is it the other way around that the politicians are captured by these media interests?Either way, Paul has been on the literal frontlines of significant, successful and society-altering movements in Australia for two decades and I was thrilled to spend some time getting to know him but also how his way of thinking and acting in the world could help me and you understand how to make change possible. I came away invigorated from this conversation and how my own daily practices can be altered using what he shared with me, and I hope you are too by listening.Today's show is delivered with Gilay Estate.

Summary Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson discuss their book, Living Undivided: Loving Courageously for Racial Healing and Justice, and the work they do with Undivided, a nonprofit organization focused on racial justice. They emphasize the importance of relationships, community, and personal transformation in the pursuit of racial healing and justice especially within the church. Takeaways The church has a crucial role to play in countering white Christian nationalism and fostering racial healing and justice. Empowering people and helping them move from feeling powerless to claiming power and community is essential for justice. Understanding power and its potential for manipulation and abuse is crucial in the pursuit of racial justice. Moving past debates and taking action is more important than dissecting words and terms.

In this episode of CISO Tradecraft, the host, G Mark Hardy, delves into the concepts of responsibility, accountability, and authority. These are considered critical domains in any leadership position but are also specifically applicable in the field of cybersecurity. The host emphasizes the need for a perfect balance between these areas to avoid putting one in a scapegoat position, which is often common for CISOs. Drawing on his military and cybersecurity experiences, he provides insights into how responsibility, accountability, and authority can be perfectly aligned for the efficient execution of duties. He also addresses how these concepts intertwine with various forms of power - positional, coercive, expert, informational, reward, referent, and connection. The host further empathizes with CISOs often put in tricky situations where they are held accountable but lack the authority or resources to execute their roles effectively and provides suggestions for culture change within organizations to overcome these challenges.

This is an episode for the ladies. As I've mentioned elsewhere, the one thing you must never do to the man with whom you want to have a relationship is disrespect him. Unfortunately, respect can mean different things to men and women -- so it's important for women to appreciate respect through the masculine lens so that they can stay on the sunny side of the unbreakable rule. The fact of the matter is that women unintentionally sabotage their relationships when they disrespect men without realizing it. As we'll see, most of these unintentional slights have to do with placing themselves above men.   Book a paid consultation: https://oriontarabanpsyd.com/consultations Social Media Facebook: https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks Twitter: https://twitter.com/oriontaraban Website: https://oriontarabanpsyd.com Orion's Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrXBzQ2HDEQ Thinking of going to grad school?

In a world often cloaked in shadows of doubt, where the cacophony of external voices attempts to drown out the whispers of your inner potential, I am here to declare that you are a creator, an architect of dreams, a maestro of your destiny.

The power within you is as limitless as the cosmos itself, and just as the stars light up the night sky, your dreams have the power to illuminate the path ahead.

In every work environment, there is a subtle dynamic at play: power dynamics. Commonly referred to as 'office politics', power dynamics refers to the distribution and exercise of power within any organization. Understanding the nuances of power dynamics and, more importantly, how to use that knowledge is a key part of making any organization run smoothly. On the other hand, the misunderstanding of how power works within a particular organization can lead to a lot of dysfunctional behavior that will place great stress on the organization and may even do great harm to a leader's career. So take some time to learn the basics of power dynamics: who's got it and how to use it to benefit your organization and your career. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-martin935/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-martin935/support

It's just the wrong space in which to try to have a conversation….” “They don't really care what their enemy has said or meant to say. What they want to do is they want to hold them to the worst possible interpretation of what they said and make that stick.” “You should be able to be as wrong as you want to be, but we don't have to algorithmically boost those errors.” We should be very wary of being driven by tribalism.” “There's almost nothing you can say about Trump that is true and awful that his supporters care about.” “We're going to recognize that the Internet is completely broken and we just don't know what's real.”  Follow Sam Harris: Website: https://www.samharris.org/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/MakingSenseHQ  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@samharrisorg  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Check out Vessi styles at https://www.vessi.com/impact.

What image do you think of when you think of Power? What does power mean to you? We have all had situations in our families, school and work in which people carry power over us. But there is a greater power. How do we reconcile this power, how do we use it. It is time to shift our understanding of power. It is time for a power shift  when we consciously surrender to a power greater than ourselves. 

Do you have a power referral source? If so, would you be able to replace them if they suddenly stopped referring your business?

Imagine being able to understand the nuances and power dynamics of your Sales conversations? It sounds like a superpower. Especially now, when we're trying to understand what's going on in our deals through zoom, email and phone calls. Some people are just born with the ability to understand the subtleties of language and activities in a Sales process, and act accordingly to get deals closed. They are the salespeople who go to President's Club and drive 6-figure cars. Most of us are not. Ori Zuckerman and his team at SubStrata have developed software that is “capturing, processing & analysis of implicit social cues discretely conveyed through conversations between salespeople and prospects.” which means they've applied technology to give you the ability to read those subtle cues, use them to make corrections, and ultimately, make more sales.

Taking care of legal matters before a crisis helps ensure that you, not lawyers or courts, remain in control – it may even save countless disagreements further down the line. Make sure these essential legal documents don't cause wrinkles in your plans by tuning into This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards An Age-Friendly World and my guest this week, Cameron Huddleston. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️Estate Planning, Advance Care, and End-of-Life Planning—It's  Not Just Something For The Rich When people hear the term estate planning or end-of-life planning, legal documents, people often think, well, this is something that rich people do. I don't need to worry about an estate plan because I don't have an estate. An estate is really just a fancy word of saying your property, your belongings, and your assets. If you die without a will, state law will determine who gets your assets. That means your things might go to someone you don't want to receive those things, or it also might mean that your property needs to be divided up – and it may not be divided in the way you wanted it to be.  ✔️ Understanding Power of Attorney  You want to get the Power of Attorney (POA) document right because this gives someone permission to manage your finances. You want to make sure you're giving them the right permissions. You want to have an attorney sit down and discuss what powers you want to give that person and make sure it complies with your state law. There are different types of power of attorney—you can have general or limited durable or springing power of attorney.  General or Limited Durable POA General or Limited Durable POA might be, for example, you're going out of the country, and you need someone to sign some real estate papers for you so you can designate someone as your limited power of attorney who can only sign documents related to real estate for you,  Springing POA Springing means that power of attorney will spring into effect when certain conditions are met. Typically people will say this will spring into effect if I am deemed mentally incompetent through a diagnosis of dementia or stroke.  But most estate planning attorneys and other law attorneys will discourage people from getting that springing power of attorney because it makes it much more difficult for that person you named as your agent to step in and help you. ✔️When and How to Access the Documents Copy for Medical Record Medical documents, including your Health Care Power of Attorney, your Living Will, and Advance Directives (including a Do Not Resuscitate document, if you have one) should be shared with all of your medical providers. You want your providers to have copies of those documents in your . medical chartThey're going to put it in your patient portal online so that if you are in the hospital and you don't want to be resuscitated, there is that documentation there that they can refer to and say, this patient doesn't want to be resuscitated, this patient doesn't want to be on life support, this patient has named their child as their health care proxy.  Original Copy for Executor (may need to be notarized) Giving the executor of your estate an original copy of your will is also a good idea.  Financial institutions will accept copies, but typically they want it to be a notarized copy. Or you could take the original to the bank. They will make a copy of it and keep it in the files. But if you're even if you trust your power of attorney 100%, you're still feeling a little anxious about handing over that power. Hang onto the document yourself and put it someplace safe in a home safe.  Remove all documents from the home if an outside caregiver comes into the home A word of caution here to family caregivers—if you're caring for an aging parent and you're putting outside caregivers in that home with that person, you need to be aware that you need to remove all financial paperwork so that fraud or elder financial abuse doesn't happen. ✔️ Authorizations When it comes to government agencies, a POA is not enough. Several of them have their own paperwork that has to be filled out.  Medicare Representative Designee/ POA If you are caring for an aging parent and have to help manage their Medicare benefit, to get on the phone and talk to someone within the Medicare agency, you're going to have to be designated as your parent's Medicare representative. Go online and get the form, and if you have already been named power of attorney, then you can fill out that form and sign it as your parent's power of attorney. Social Security Administration  If you have to manage a parent's Social Security benefits, you must be designated as your parent's Social Security representative payee. This would be best to go to your local Social Security Administration office and sit down with someone there and go through the process of filling out the paperwork, showing that power of attorney document. Other responsibilities come with that, so you have to file an annual report with the Social Security Administration detailing how you manage your parent's benefits and how you spent those benefits for your parent. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to sign tax returns IRS has a form you must fill out to be designated as your parent's agent. You need to read the instructions carefully, and you will also submit that power of attorney document when you send in the tax return and the additional IRS form.  Name a Trusted Contact with financial institutions It's also good to name a trusted contact with your financial institutions. Some will ask for it, and some won't. Still, you can go ahead and say, “Hey, can I name a trusted contact? This is someone your financial institution can reach out to if you can't reach me or if it suspects that financial exploitation is going on.” It's just another way to protect yourself financially.  If you have questions, comments, or need help, please feel free to drop a one-minute audio or video clip and email it to me at melissabphd@gmail.com, and I will get back to you by recording an answer to your question.  About Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN: I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing ('96) and Master of Science in Nursing ('00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON).

People need power to get things done, but even having a LOT of authority doesn't mean you'll have any power. This is a critical thing to understand if we want to understand corporate governance.   SCRIPT A few episodes ago I cross-posted the first episode of the Sound-Up Governance podcast featuring Professor Tiziana Casciaro from the Rotman School of Management, where I worked for 20ish years. It was no accident that Tiziana was the first guest – she's an expert on what power is, how people get it, how people lose it. Even more interestingly, she's got really cool insights into why people with lots of authority – maybe CEOs or corporate directors, for example – sometimes don't really have much power, meaning they can't really get anyone to do the things they want. Tiziana describes power as controlling access to something that other people want. That something could be really tangible, like money or a promotion. It can also be more abstract, like comfort or happiness or just feeling cool. I'm sure you can already see where I'm going. What could possibly be more critical to corporate governance than power? Sure, every board technically has a huge amount of authority in their organization. In a way, they have *all* the authority in their organization. Any authority others have has been delegated to them – on purpose or by accident – by the board. And the board is ultimately accountable for what those others do with their authority. But who cares about authority without power? What difference does it make for corporate governance to happen, for decisions to be made, if nobody actually y'know does anything in response to those decisions? It raises a cool question: “what resources does a board control access to, and why would anyone in an organization care?”

This week we talk about the retirement of Dr. Fauci and the recent student loan news! Question of the Week:In the age of plastic surgery, weight loss surgery, instagram, and social media, how should we navigate issues of body image, especially as people of faith?Special Guest:Deborah Lee, Executive Director, Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity & Minister with the United Church of ChristGuest Question:As Christians, how should we understand “power” and “security”? There is the human understanding of power through might, force, and domination, but aren't we called to something different as people of faith? Additionally, how are we to recognize the power that the church currently holds while reconciling the historic ways that power has been used for good but also for bad?Resource Roundup:Interfaith Movement for Human IntegrityA Feminist Vision of Genuine Security and Creating a Culture of Life (from the International Women's Network Against Militarism)

It's tough to grieve when a loved one passes unexpectedly, but it's next-level stressful if you don't know where your loved one's important documents are.

Power is a difficult concept to define and understand. As we continue our exploration of power & politics in the organizational setting, let's set the foundation for our approach to wrapping our minds around this nebulous concept. Rather than trying to define power by what it is, our process will be based on understanding power by understanding its contexts in application.

10.10 [Sermon] Colossians: Violence, Progress and Peace - Part Three Often we need to remind ourselves that it is normal for the church to operate in the margins of society. So how much power do we need? As a fringe community the answer is of course: none. When we strive to embody Jesus our focus shifts away from power, prestige and position and instead turns towards grace and peace, and a far-reaching harmony that permeates and characterizes all of our relationships.
