Podcasts about work together

Have you ever left a conversation feeling confused, guilty, or unsure of what actually happened? In this episode, we break down the psychology behind narrative control and how manipulators subtly rewrite events to avoid accountability and maintain power. We explore minimization, reversal, selective memory, emotional hijacking, and how confusion becomes a compliance tactic.

Everywhere we look, people are blaming the "trust recession" for why their holistic nutrition or health coaching business isn't growing. But what if this market shift is actually working in your favor? In this episode, we're breaking down what people ACTUALLY want in 2026 (hint: it's not more information) and how to maximize this changing market instead of complaining about it so you can experience huge growth without burning yourself out.NEXT STEPS:

Naomi Hattaway is the founder of Leaving Well, a practice devoted to helping organizations treat leadership transitions not as crises or cleanups—but as acts of cultural maturity. She works with mission-driven teams to address board development, succession planning gaps, and workplace transition support. Through interim executive leadership and advisory services, Naomi's work lives at the intersection of trust-building, systems change, and the radical belief that how we end things matters just as much as how we begin.   Key Takeaways: Leadership changes are often treated as crises even though they are normal and predictable. Naomi reframes exits as acts of cultural maturity rather than simple HR events. Thoughtful offboarding helps organizations create healthy closure and continuity. Transitions affect not only leaders but also the team that remains. Founder departures can trigger identity questions when organizations are built around one personality. Acknowledging grief and uncertainty helps teams move forward with clarity. Succession planning should involve the whole team, not just top leadership. Documentation, relationship handoffs, and knowledge transfer strengthen organizational resilience. Sabbaticals and temporary leaves can help organizations practice navigating absence and return. People respond to change in different ways, and each style brings value. Understanding these differences helps teams balance stability with forward movement. Healthy organizations accept that transition is messy but handle it with intention and care.   “We need to normalize the reality that people leave.”   “We put so much effort and beautiful intention into the onboarding, and then the offboarding is not the same level of energy.”   “We have to start somewhere by being a little bit better to each other when it comes to goodbye.” - Naomi Hattaway   Reach out to Naomi Hattaway at: Website: https://naomihattaway.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/naomihattaway LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/naomihattaway       Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Dwight Eisenhower: Lessons on Character and Getting Great Egos to Work TogetherSelflessness. Duty. Integrity. Honesty. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the allied forces in World War II, leaned into all those character traits — and more — enroute to defeating Nazi Germany.He also listened well and cared more about his mission than his image, as we discuss this week in the third episode of our series within the show, MORE STORIES FROM THE BOOK CRUCIBLE LEADERSHIP. And he did it all while having to manage relationships with military men and political leaders who possessed big egos to match their prodigious professional skills.To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

Do you feel responsible for other people's emergencies — their emotional spirals, financial messes, relationship chaos, or even their mental health crises? In this episode, we break down the psychology behind over-responsibility, nervous system conditioning, and why "being the strong one" becomes a role you can't turn off. We explore how crisis-responsibility develops through conditioning and attachment patterns, why urgency hits your body like a mandate, and what it actually looks like to care without carrying.

Romans 8:28 3/1/26 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.churchofchristbakersfield.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠info@churchofchristbakersfield.com(661)978-9093

Key Takeaways: Fundraising rooted in pressure and extraction erodes trust over time. Sustainable support grows from community, shared values, and genuine connection. When relationships lead, generosity follows naturally. Over-following up and manufactured urgency often reveal anxiety, not strategy. Constant pressure weakens credibility and exhausts donors. Abundance thinking creates calmer, more effective leadership. Caring about a mission is not enough to spark giving. Donors contribute when they feel seen, heard, and connected to something meaningful. Relationship transforms passive belief into active generosity. A “no” rarely means disinterest or lack of care. Staying curious and honoring dignity preserves long-term trust. Valuing the person over the transaction builds lasting loyalty.   “Manufactured emergency undermines your credibility. If our relationships are rooted in trust... manufactured urgency breaks that trust, and it is a tool of manipulation.”   “Curiosity keeps relationships alive. Assumptions shut them down.”   “When we stop treating generosity like it's running out, fundraising gets quieter and more effective.”  - Maryanne Dersch     Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Pastor Sam Rainer preaches a series about the most popular verses in the Bible and why they are often misinterpreted. This sermon covers Romans 8:28. This verse is not a shortcut around pain. It is a long-view promise rooted in eternity.

If you struggle to relax even when life feels calm, this episode will help you understand why. In this episode, we explore the psychology and nervous system conditioning behind chronic tension, hypervigilance, and the inability to rest. We break down why relaxation can feel unsafe, how early environments shape the stress response, and why thinking your way into calm rarely works.

To learn more, visit www.manufacturinggreatness.com and click here to subscribe to Trevor's monthly newsletter. Now, let's jump in! In manufacturing, most leaders don't struggle because they lack technical knowledge. They struggle because they're not connecting with their teams. When skill gaps widen, labor shortages grow, and hiring challenges persist, it's rarely an operations problem. It's a leadership and communication problem. That's exactly why I wrote Manufacturing Greatness, releasing May 11, 2027 with Page Two. This book is for Operations Managers, Production Managers, Manufacturing Managers, and Shift Supervisors who want high performing teams that stick around and consistently deliver results. Leaders who are ready to move beyond telling people what to do and start leading through curiosity, communication skills, and deeper conversations. Inside, you'll find practical tools to strengthen safety culture, improve employee engagement, support workforce retention, and build a workplace where teams work together, get results, and stay. Now I need your help. We've narrowed the subtitle down to five options, and I want the manufacturing community to weigh in. 1) How to Be More Productive with the People You Already Have 2) How Curious Leaders Strengthen Relationships to Improve Safety, Quality, and Productivity 3) How to Show Up, Clarify Expectations, and Instill Accountability to Streamline Your Operation 4) Three Conversations to Build High-Performing Teams that Work Together, Get Results, and Stick Around 5) Three Conversations to Build High-Performing Teams that Connect, Deliver, and Stick Around Email me at trevor@manufacturinggreatness.com and let you know about favorite subtitle option! 

Heidi is a nonprofit communicator passionate about helping civic tech, human services, and food access organizations tell clear, human-centered stories. She believes marketing carries great responsibility and shapes how communities understand and access support. As the founder of Heidi Kerr Strategies, she loves building thoughtful campaigns and social videos that earn trust and inspire action.   Key Takeaways: Marketing in nonprofits is not just about fundraising but about shaping how communities understand and access support. When treated as strategy and education, it becomes core to the mission, not an afterthought. Short-form, phone-shot videos often outperform highly produced content. Imperfect, human storytelling builds more trust than scripted perfection ever could. Pair real stories with data while protecting dignity and consent. The person sharing their experience should be the hero, not a prop for fundraising. Strong marketing equips teams with reusable tools, aligned messaging, and clear goals. Capacity-building creates momentum that lasts beyond a single campaign.   “When you ask them to create a short form video… ‘who is the star?' And my answer to that is the people you serve - the humans in your organization.”   “The data is out there that those little videos - informal, authentic - they outperform anything fully branded or anything fully produced.”   “One thing I just can't talk about is ethical storytelling and trauma-informed storytelling, and the importance of ensuring that you're not having people perform for their poverty.”- Heidi Kerr   Reach out to Heidi Kerr at: Website: heidikerr.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidikerr/ Substack: https://substack.com/@heidikerr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidikerr/     Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Victim mindset isn't just about how you think — it's about who you allow access to you. In this episode, we explore how victim mentality is reinforced through relationships, environments, and emotional access. Drawing from psychology, attachment theory, and nervous system science, this conversation breaks down why mindset work often fails when access doesn't change — and how growth requires more than just insight.

Series 8 of the Make it British podcast is here!After many of you asked, “Where's the podcast gone?”, it's coming back with a brand-new themed series: Women in Wool.Over the past few months, I've been recording interviews behind the scenes.

As a fundraising consultant and coach, Perry helps nonprofits develop strategies, systems, and relationships to improve their fundraising yield. She believes in creating environments that nurture all gifts - time, talent, treasure, testimony, and ties - honoring how each person is uniquely suited to make a difference within their community. Key Takeaways:Donors are partners who bring time, talent, treasure, testimony, and ties. When relationships are rooted in shared values and trust, financial support follows naturally. Sustainable fundraising honors the whole person rather than treating giving as a transaction.Scarcity culture fuels burnout, fear, and reactive decision-making. An abundance mindset focuses on transformation, sustainability, and long-term impact. Organizations that move beyond survival thinking create healthier outcomes for both staff and communities.Burnout drains capacity, while moral injury erodes trust and integrity. Misalignment between stated values and lived behavior is a common source of harm. Naming these dynamics is the first step toward healing individuals and institutions.True alignment requires that daily actions reflect the organization's declared values. Healthy conflict and psychological safety strengthen culture more than surface-level niceness. Leadership grounded in empathy and the Platinum Rule fosters belonging and lasting engagement. “People who show up to give, they often don't just want to write a check. They want to do whatever they can to help a cause that means something to them.” “Let's stop flattening people. Let's treat volunteers and donors with the same level of respect. Let's not just keep putting money on this pedestal.” “We want to treat people the way they want to be treated. We want to honor them. We want to acknowledge them. We don't want to just dismiss them and act like our way is the only way.”- Perry Radford Reach out to Perry Radford at:Website: radphilanthropy.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/perryradford/    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

You Need to Know Why You Become the Emotional Dumping Ground If people constantly unload their emotions, problems, and frustrations onto you, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it. In this episode, we explore the psychology behind becoming the emotional dumping ground, including how early conditioning, emotional over-functioning, and ego identity quietly reinforce this pattern. We break down the difference between healthy vulnerability and emotional dumping, why boundaries alone don't always stop it, and what you may be unconsciously signaling that keeps this dynamic in place.

U.S. tariffs have upended decades of trade policy, but new U.N. data shows that the economies suffering most are those that can least afford a setback. At the Munich Security Conference (MSC), FP's Ravi Agrawal hosted a panel on the trade wars, with policymakers on the front lines of these economic changes: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the director-general of the World Trade Organization; Finnish President Alexander Stubb; German Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil; and U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis.  Follow FP's MSC coverage here.

Key Takeaways:Chasing a yes often comes from anxiety, not intention, and people can feel that pressure immediately. When you stop needing a specific outcome, your tone relaxes and trust increases naturally. Your role is to help others decide freely, not to manage your own fear through follow-ups.Momentum shows up as shared energy, mutual curiosity, and agreed-upon next steps. Chasing looks like one-sided check-ins, escalating urgency, and tension after sending messages. Learning to tell the difference protects your time and preserves relational integrity.People avoid giving honest answers when saying no feels costly or awkward. Explicit permission to decline reduces avoidance and leads to faster, cleaner decisions. Trust grows when people feel respected, regardless of what they choose.Fantasy relationships rely on polite delays that sound like yes but function as no. Booking the next meeting during the current one turns vague interest into real movement. When someone will not schedule a follow-up, it is often wiser to release than to pursue. “Pressure is when a donor feels managed. Relationship is when they feel respected.” “A fantasy relationship just means that you're not able to be honest. So you're both pretending… because nobody knows what to say to actually get you out of it.” “The more permission you give people to say no, the more likely they are to say yes.” - Maryanne Dersch    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Funnels don't fail because of pages or copy. They fail because trust is missing before the click.

How to tap the full power of your voice.Being present in communication isn't just mental. It's about the physical energy you bring into a space — particularly, says Patsy Rodenburg, the presence of your voice.“The physical presence of the human being is the most important thing we have,” says Rodenburg. As a world-renowned expert in voice, speech, and presentation, she has helped everyone from stage actors to prime ministers hone their speaking and awaken the power and presence of their voice. “The vast majority of people are born with amazing voices, and somewhere along the line, they lose them. My job is to return people to their full power in their body, in their breath, in their voice, in their ability to speak in an exciting way.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Rodenburg joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss embodied communication. From breathing techniques and managing tension to intentionally inhabiting space, Rodenburg's insights reveal how to communicate with greater power, presence, and the potency of your voice.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Patsy RodenburgPatsy's Books: Presence / Power PresentationEp.137 When Words Aren't Enough: How to Excel at Nonverbal Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:56) - Foundational Voice Principles (05:58) - Activating Breath Through The Body (08:19) - Why Most Voices Just Need Use (11:49) - Defining Presence (16:02) - Using Space To Communicate (19:24) - The Final Three Questions (23:50) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Strawberry.me.

FULL EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/cNKkwAR0AZYIt's almost Valentines Day and we're talking about what it's really like to work with each other. Do we have disagreements? Of course! But at the end of the day, our marriage will always come first. And who doesn't want someone who has your back in a room full of people you don't know very well?!

The Four Agreements are simple — but they're not easy. And the reason most people don't practice them isn't because they don't understand them. It's because practicing them requires giving up ego-driven habits like blame, vagueness, mind-reading, people-pleasing, and self-bullying. In this episode, we break down what The Four Agreements actually are, where they originated, where people get them wrong, and why so many people cherry-pick the parts that feel comforting while avoiding the parts that would actually change their relationships and self-respect.

How do you course-correct your life in the direction of Jesus? Jesus is our true north, full of grace and truth. Scripture reminds us that we don't have to do this alone.

Send us a message!Destination marketing is in a pressure test.Short-term rentals have become a major part of how people travel, yet many DMOs still struggle with how (or whether) to include them. At the same time, AI is speeding up the research-to-booking journey and forcing destinations to rethink what “relevance” even means.In this episode, Alex and Annie sit down with Stuart Butler (President of Visit Myrtle Beach) and Adam Stoker (President of Brand Revolt) to unpack what's getting in the way, what alignment can look like, and why the next version of destination marketing is going to require better coordination across the whole destination economy.You'll hear practical takes on funding dynamics, stakeholder value, the “illusion of relevance” in reporting, and why the future may turn DMO websites into something closer to infrastructure than a traditional marketing channel.Episode Chapters:00:54 – Stuart's background and how he landed in destination work02:27 – Adam's background and how he sees the DMO landscape05:37 – The “illusion of relevance,” metrics, and why DMOs feel behind07:44 – The Indianapolis example, why some DMOs leave STRs out09:28 – Can DMOs stay relevant without vacation rentals11:53 – Why STRs need a seat at the table and what it takes to get one14:34 – What STR operators can do in markets without big PM groups19:16 – Funding reality, stakeholder influence, and how STRs earn attention22:27 – Why getting involved with a DMO teaches you more than you expect23:51 – The bigger DMO question, purpose, scope, and identity30:31 – How performance reporting shaped destination websites30:54 – Why the booking engine path can be a strategic dead end36:49 – Stewardship, community trust, and what destinations are accountable for50:06 – AI as a watershed moment for travel discovery and decision-making57:59 – What destination content needs to look like in an AI-first world1:02:21 – Closing thoughts on websites, infrastructure, and the road aheadConnect with Stuart:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuart-butler-50aaa45/ Website: http://www.visitmyrtlebeach.com/ Connect with Adam:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamstoker/ Website: https://thebrandrevolt.com/ ✨ Exclusive Offer to Alex & Annie Listeners:Streamline your short-term rental operations with Hostfully.Mention the Alex & Annie Podcast when you sign up and get free onboarding ($1000 value).

Pastors are carrying more emotional and spiritual weight than most congregations realize—and many churches still treat counseling and discipleship as if they’re separate worlds. In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer is joined by Dr. Steve Stuhlreyer (Professor of Counselor Education at Columbia International University, former lead pastor) to talk about what it looks like when the church becomes a place of healing, relational care, and wise referral. Steve explains why the line between discipleship and counseling is often a false dichotomy. While some cases require trained clinical care (and sometimes medical collaboration), most people seeking help are what Steve calls the “worried well”—believers navigating grief, stress, anxiety, loneliness, transitions, and everyday burdens that can’t be carried alone. In those cases, what’s often missing isn’t a diagnosis—it’s relationship: a trusted person who can listen, walk with them, and help them grow in Christ. James and Steve also discuss the unique pressures pastors face: living in a fishbowl, constant availability, criticism, and the real loneliness that comes with leadership. Steve shares why many pastors won’t disclose struggles to denominational systems or even church members, and how chronic pressure can contribute to burnout, depression, anxiety, and in some situations, even trauma-like symptoms. The result is not just personal pain—it can limit a pastor’s ability to lead with spiritual health and long-term resilience. Finally, the conversation turns practical: What can churches do? Steve offers concrete advice for building a healthier ecosystem where lay care, discipleship, and counseling support work together—freeing trained counselors to focus on complex cases while the church becomes a genuine “hospital” for everyday burdens. They also touch on men’s ministry and why Christian manhood must be formed by Christlike strength, humility, and grace, not cultural machismo. Topics include: The overlap between counseling and discipleship Who truly needs clinical counseling—and who needs relational support Why pastors are often lonely (and afraid to be honest) How trauma and burnout can develop in ministry Practical ways elders and church leaders can care for pastors Men’s discipleship that builds strength without bravado Subscribe to our YouTube channel

Key Takeaways:Lasting fundraising growth does not come from better tactics alone but from changing the internal narratives that drive behavior. Coaching addresses fear, money stories, and self-doubt that silently undermine even the best strategies.Fundraising leaders often carry invisible baggage that affects how they show up with donors and teams. Coaching builds awareness, emotional neutrality, and sovereignty by separating facts from stories and reducing reactive behavior.Effective fundraising leaders coach boards and staff through fear, avoidance, and shame rather than simply training them. Through questions, accountability, and normalized discomfort, coaching creates ownership without blame.Over-functioning leaders burn out when they carry all the emotional and relational weight alone. Coaching redistributes responsibility, strengthens collaboration, and removes leaders as the bottleneck in fundraising efforts. “Strategy is great. Training is great. You need both those things, but mostly they do not shift your mindset. They do not shift your thinking.” “Sovereignty means you own your own thoughts, choices, and actions. You do not outsource your confidence to outcomes, and you do not let no define your worth or competence.” “At its heart, fundraising is a team sport. When you coach instead of carry, you stop being the bottleneck.” - Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Intensity often feels like depth — but it isn't the same thing as connection. In this episode, we explore why so many people confuse emotional intensity with closeness, chemistry, or intimacy, and how nervous system dysregulation and ego reinforcement keep this pattern alive. If calm feels boring, unsettling, or emotionally empty to you, there's a psychological reason — and it has nothing to do with your capacity for love or connection. We break down how attachment patterns, early emotional conditioning, and ego identity can make urgency, emotional highs, and volatility feel meaningful, while steady, grounded connection feels unfamiliar or wrong. This episode challenges the belief that depth requires chaos and explains what real connection actually feels like when safety replaces stimulation.
