Easter Weekend at Emmanuel was amazing! It was so meaningful and so much fun to celebrate our risen Savior together. And Sunday's message was powerful! Pastor Nate preached “A Sunday Revolution.” Friday, the day of death, can represent the despair and the frustration of feeling like things aren't going as planned. Saturday can be that spot where we get stuck between the cross and the resurrection, where disappointment can take over. But Sunday is the day of hope, life and resurrection! Let's all step into Sunday and experience God's life-giving power! We also saw Wayde's story of life change, a reminder that God continues to transform people. If you couldn't join on Sunday morning, check out Pastor Nate's message.

Losing a job or facing an unexpected life shift can feel like the biggest curse—no income, no direction, and no clear path forward. But what if this so-called curse was actually the best thing that ever happened to you? Have you ever considered that hitting rock bottom might be the push you need to rise higher than ever before? The truth is, when everything you thought was certain is taken away, you're forced to look beyond your comfort zone. You start seeing opportunities where before, you only saw routine. The question is—will you embrace the change or stay stuck in fear? What if the loss of something familiar could lead you to something even greater? In this episode, StoreIt founder Wayde Elliott joins me to share his journey from smooth sailing to sudden hardships—and how he turned it all around by striking gold in real estate self-storage. We also talk about the importance of being a life-long learner, being your own bank and why it's so important to grow and give intentionally.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Navigating the learning curve Transitioning careers comes with a learning curve, and mistakes are essential for growth. How do we ensure that these mistakes propel us forward and not hold us back? -Lean on those with experience Learning from experienced people accelerates growth and decision-making. How can mentorship help you avoid common pitfalls and reach your goals faster? -The 5 Finger Gratitude technique The 5 Finger Gratitude technique uses each finger to remind us of things to be grateful for, fostering a positive mindset. How can taking a moment to reflect on five things you're grateful for impact your mindset? Guest Bio Dr. Wayde Elliott founded StorelT, who began working in self-storage development in 2009, after practicing dentistry for over two decades. His first project was in St. Helens, OR, and involved working directly with the highway department, railroad, and Oregon State's land division.

Once he saw the ROI of his initial project, Elliott knew he created something that filled a need, and he wants to help others do the same!

Wayde B. Byard served for more than twenty years as the public information officer for Loudoun County Public Schools. In a previous professional life as an award-winning journalist with the Winchester Star, he reported on crime, government (sometimes government-related crime), and sports.Seemingly overnight, parents across the country joined with activist groups and political figures at all levels to engage in heated—sometimes violent—fights over issues such as COVID mandates, retrofitting bathrooms to accommodate changing gender representation, and the teaching of American history through the lens of race. At the epicenter of this outrage machine was Loudoun County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and the wealthiest county in the nation.Accused, along with the superintendent, by an ambitious, conservative governor and attorney general of covering up the crime, Byard—who most students knew from his popular announcements of snow days—was ultimately acquitted of a perjury charge but left with a troubling awareness that what happened to him could happen to anyone. In The Battle for Loudoun County, Byard sets the record straight and provides a rare window into the dangers of America's “bathroom wars” and the culture of outrage that, if left unchecked, will tear our country apart.  http://waydebyard.com   The Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.

Living the Aloha Life is a podcast I have listened to since 2018. This is where I was introduced to Wayde Fishman.  Wayde loves Hawaii the way I love Hawaii so naturally as Wayde shares his story, we talk at length about Hawaii. We discuss what we love about Hawaii, what first attracted Wayde to Hawaii, and the reality of living in Hawaii today. We also talk about Wayde's life prior to his move to Hawaii in 1998.Something about Wayde that makes him different from many who profess a love of Hawaii is that Wayde has done his best to give back to Hawaii. He started 808 Cleanups back in 2012 with the intention of cleaning up Oahu. To date, they have removed over one million pounds of trash, and they have intentions of opening chapters on the other major Hawaiian Islands.  Because Hawaii is so expensive, Wayde has been working on a tiny home project that one day he hopes to take to Hawaii island, aka the Big Island. We talked about this a bit during our talk story session. We also talk about the other things Wayde has going on like his jeep tour business and brewery tour bus.

In this episode of the Psych in Business podcast, Dr. Ernest Wayde explores the intricacies of team effectiveness models, honing in on Patrick Lincione's widely recognized "Five Dysfunctions of a Team." Dr. Wayde underscores the significance of comprehending the relationship dynamics that lead to team failure.The model identifies five dysfunctions, each building upon the last. First is the Absence of Trust, where Dr. Wayde underscores the foundational role of trust in effective leadership and team dynamics. The lack of trust results in team members hiding mistakes, jumping to negative conclusions, and avoiding vulnerability.This lack of trust leads to the second dysfunction: the Fear of Conflict. Stemming from the absence of trust, this fear results in artificial harmony within a team. Dr. Wayde distinguishes between productive ideological conflict and damaging interpersonal conflict, highlighting the necessity of open, honest discussions.The third dysfunction is the Lack of Commitment, where meaningful discussions and conflict resolution are crucial for team members to fully invest in decisions. Avoiding commitment occurs when consensus-seeking hinders decision-making, leading to ambiguity and indecision within the team.Following this is the fourth dysfunction: Avoidance of Accountability. When there's no clear plan, and conflicts and decisions are not addressed, team members avoid holding each other accountable. This results in low standards, ignored errors, and a lack of progress discussion.The final dysfunction is Inattention to Results. Teams that don't pay attention to results stagnate, get easily distracted, and lose employees. Dr. Wayde emphasizes the importance of focusing on tangible business outcomes to avoid a detrimental "me-first" mentality.Dr. Wayde concludes by highlighting the interconnected nature of these dysfunctions, emphasizing the pivotal role of trust as a starting point for addressing and eliminating these challenges. The episode provides valuable insights for leaders and teams aiming to enhance their effectiveness and build a culture of trust and collaboration.
