Calories, the scale, BMI. The way you (and your doctor) measure your health and your choices are not just not serving you, they're leading you astray. What if we started to measure choices regarding our health based on listening to our bodies or communicating with our bodies, rather than adhering to outdated rules? Tune in to this episode to redefine your yardstick. This week, Jenn is talking about creating your own yardstick when it comes to your health journey. There is so much information available to people about which workouts are the right ones to do, and how you should eat, how much you should or shouldn't eat, that we often lose sense of what our individual bodies need to be in our best health. Jenn walks through a variety of topics ranging from exercise, diets, portion sizes, creating your own metrics of success and more throughout this episode. Tune in to hear Jenn share some great tangible ideas on how to ensure your goals and the metrics you use to measure your progress are right for you, and what choices to make when creating your own benchmarks. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: ● [5:54] What are things that we measure when it comes to our health?● [8:12] How can you better measure your workouts? ● [14:40] How do you measure your food? ● [26:23] How do you know appropriate portion sizes?● [31:48] How can you make the best choices for your individual self?● [35:15] How do we avoid using social media and societal norms and get stuck in a cycle of comparison?● [38:47] How do you know if what you are doing is actually working?● [41:09] Why do doctors use BMI, where did it come from and what is a better metric to use instead?● [43:38] Are the scales out there accurate to account for your body fat %?● [47:05] Jenn shares alternative benchmarks to measure success and progress. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ● [17:38] Calories should not be on your yardstick of measuring how much food you should intake. Instead, the measurement on your yardstick can be that you are going to eat the colors of the rainbow throughout the week.● [35:20] Don't let social media create your benchmark for your health. Instead, tune in to your body and see if you have energy, if you are feeling good, if you are improving how you choose foods, if you are eating the rainbow, if you are getting nutrition every day, and if you are making progress over your behaviors. ● [39:39] The number on the scale includes your bones and your organs and water and your brain and muscle and fat and all of these other things. Measuring only the number on the scale going down, does not indicate health. QUOTES: [12:37] “We're then looking at other people and making whatever they're doing or not doing, whatever is happening for them or not happening for them, something about us and our progress. Which is frankly apples and oranges.” - Jenn Trepeck[12:52] “I think a lot of the devices create the metrics that we then all think we ‘should be using.' Maybe it's worth either adjusting some of those things in your device or maybe opting out of some of them if they're not serving you in a way that's helping you feel positive and energized, or maybe there's a different way to use the tool.” - Jenn Trepeck[15:12] “When it comes to food, calories is a terrible yardstick.” - Jenn Trepeck[19:00] “Percent daily value was based on number one, a 2,000 calorie diet, and number two, based on a person not deteriorating into rickets and scurvy. So it was originally designed in the time of war based on how our military was being fed.” - Jenn Trepeck[22:08] “It's a choice, Everything is a choice. There are choices that will move us in the direction of our goal faster than other choices.” - Jenn Trepeck[34:14] “What if we started to measure our choices based on listening to our bodies or communicating with our bodies, rather than on some set of rules and adhering to those rules?” - Jenn Trepeck[37:37] “When we think about the choices that we're making, oftentimes people will say well this is easier, the metric of ease. Maybe we start to look or redefine ease to distinguish between ease in the moment or ease in the long run. In the moment it might be easier to buy the Reese's cups in the grocery store checkout, but if that choice brings with it guilt and shame and thinking about those Reese's cups for a week, was it really easier? To me, I find it easier to not give myself reasons to beat myself up” - Jenn Trepeck [47:05] “Things you might want to consider as other benchmarks for success and progress - quality sleep, how we manage or handle stress, or energy and our self confidence. What if you check in on those things every day, on eating the rainbow, where might that leave you? How would you feel? That's health.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Perception vs. Reality Episode Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries Instagram
About Chet Lovegren: Chet Lovegren is the Founder & Head Sales RX'er of The Sales Doctor, a company that helps clients prevent their revenue bleed from archaic training, coaching, and implementation practices. After working for 7+ years as an individual contributor, Chet started The Sales Doctor in 2020 as a way for salespeople and sales leaders to take a 'prescriptive' approach to diagnose and solve problems in their go-to-market strategy. Since then, he's helped companies raise over $100M in VC Funds and seen over 125 professionals perform at their best, get promoted, and achieve their true earning potential. His foundations and teachings are a combination of his 11+ years in the go-to-market space, both as a seller and leader. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Chet.In this episode, Nancy and Chet discuss the following:Importance of prescriptive approach in salesComparison of sales strategies to medical diagnosisSignificance of onboarding for new sales reps and managersUse of technology in improving hiring processesImportance of measuring performance and engagementStrategies for identifying and nurturing future leadersAdvice on managing and leading sales teamsKey Takeaways: 90% of what I do is an aggregate of all the information I've taken in, eaten the fish, and spit out the bones.Try a lot of things and see what works best for you.The forgetting curve: within 30 days, we forget 87% of what we learned.Empathy does not mean a lack of accountability. "I like to use the idea of prescriptive because if you're a doctor and you are doing it right, it's not a one-size-fits-all all. And the best doctors who have done the most critical work in saving lives have dug deep into the core problems, not solving for symptoms. But why are these symptoms happening? Because you think about if you have a fever, you're gonna have similar symptoms as if you have a cold, their shared symptoms across certain problems or diagnoses, right? And my favorite saying is a doctor who provides a diagnosis without examination is guilty of malpractice. I think many LinkedIn gurus do this, but many sales teams do it for their opportunities and customers. And if we want to be transparent, honest, value-driven salespeople, let's walk the walk and not just talk the talk. And so, you have to dig deep into what's the problem that my customer thinks they have, what's the problem I know they have because I'm the subject matter expert, what's the gap in that way of thinking, and how can I get them to think, not understand my point of view critically? You know, we're in politics season, and I'm sure everybody's watching all these debates going on." – CHET"Yeah, I think one of the best ways to do this is with software. I'm not one to typically plug software, but there's a tool called Yardstick. Founder Lucas Price has built this incredible tool that helps increase the collaboration between hiring managers, department heads, and maybe individual contributors who are also interviewing people for the role and helps them collaborate in real time so that they have a foundation once that new hire starts to be able to go back and measure, do we have who we thought we had? This way, you can essentially know who you have faster, know if they're the person you hired, and if they're not, work with your HR team to get them out of the seat and get somebody in who will be. Because that's the unfortunate thing." – CHET"I'm okay accepting no when making 50 cold calls a day. You want to make 20 cause that's what's comfortable for you, and you can do that because you're sending more video messages and doing much more personalized email outreach, and it works for you; that's great. Cause I have another rep who can't convert anything via email, but they're fantastic on the phone. And so, I say, if it's working for you, prioritize that. Do we want to try to upscale you on cold email writing? Sure, but if you're booking 20 appointments monthly to make a hundred cold calls a day, I'm not opposed to that. You're hitting your number, which might be what you're good at. And so, I do want to make you better at cold email writing if there are gaps that I recognize, but there's a whole bunch behind that with email deliverability that might've also happened with that gentleman. So, I think it'd be okay with no, but expect why. And remember that empathy does not mean a lack of accountability; you're not a bad person if you want to instill some accountability in your process. Still, you must pull back the books, use a data-driven leadership model, and show people why accountability is in place. And don't manage to the bottom 20% of people who don't want to be at your org anyway. Stop making rules and things that they must follow. Make rules and processes and accountability for the 80% because all you do when you're reactive, and you manage to the bottom 20% is the other 80% of people that want to be there feel like they're getting squeezed out and they quit, and they go take $5,000 a year to work somewhere else." – CHET Connect with Chet Lovegren:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chetlovegren/The Sales Doctor: https://www.thesalesdocrx.com/Linktree:https://linktr.ee/thesalesdoctor_rxTry Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/ Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter:https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website:https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

A conversation with Chris Tolles, founder of Yard Stick, about soil carbon and the connection to changing agriculture practises, insetting vs offsetting, where in the hype cycle the soil carbon market is and why more companies should get really good at doing one thing instead of saying yes to every opportunity.How difficult is it really to measure in field, instant, accurate and cheaply? Yardstick just raised $12 million, mostly VC climate money, to commercialise their technology. Warning!

Traditional onboarding programs often involve overwhelming reps with content in a short period of time. This approach does not lead to long-term retention or habit formation. 00:13:54 - Improving Onboarding Programs, Companies can improve their onboarding programs by adopting a focused and structured approach. Instead of overwhelming reps with information, they should dedicate each week to a specific topic, such as people, problems, process, and practices. This allows for better retention and application of knowledge. 00:16:35 - Building the Right Onboarding Program, To build an effective onboarding program, companies need to focus on specific areas of the business and create a narrative that leads to hands-off training. It's important to cover topics like company mission, vision, values, and history. Onboarding programs should be developed in collaboration with sales leaders and enablement professionals with recent sales experience. 00:18:49 - The Flaws of Traditional Sales Training, Traditional sales training programs that cram a large amount of content into a few days are ineffective. The spacing effect, which involves spreading out training over time, is a more successful approach. Using the chunking technique, sales training should be broken down into smaller topics that can be addressed over a period of 60-90 days. 00:21:26 - Importance of Ongoing Coaching, Ongoing coaching and reinforcement are crucial 00:25:24 - Effective Measurement of New Hires, The discussion focuses on how companies can effectively measure the performance of new hires early on to determine if they are the right fit. The guest suggests using software tools like Yardstick to collaborate with sales leaders, HR, and team members. By integrating colleague interviews and surveying feedback, companies can identify if a new hire is not meeting expectations and make decisions sooner rather than later. 00:29:36 - Challenges in Building a Culture of Accountability, Sales leaders often struggle to build a culture of accountability and performance. The guest believes this is because there are numerous ways to measure performance but limited ways to measure engagement. He suggests creating a culture of participation and integration, where everyone is involved in meetings and performance reviews. By highlighting performance and comparing results, accountability can be increased and underperforming individuals can be identified and addressed more effectively. 00:30:57 - Importance of Engaging Sales Teams, The guest emphasizes the importance of engaging sales teams and setting expectations for their participation. By involving them in meetings, presentations, and performance reviews, accountability can be increased. He argues that being politically correct and avoiding highlighting underperforming individuals can hinder performance and motivation. Sales is a performance-based job, and individuals need to be able to handle the pressure and scrutiny that comes with it. 00:34:31 - The Role of Stack Ranking and Accountability, The guest discusses the role of stack ranking in highlighting underperforming individuals. He believes that avoiding stack ranking due to concerns about hurting individuals' feelings can be counterproductive 00:37:53 - The Importance of Leadership in Sales, Chet discusses the impact of leadership in sales and how great leaders focus on accountability, coaching, and motivation. He believes that leaders should lead by example and inspire their team to rise to their level. 00:38:26 - Promoting Salespeople with Leadership Skills, Chet shares his perspective on promoting salespeople to leadership positions. He values individuals who have leadership qualities, even if they are not top performers. He mentions that high-performing lone wolves can create toxic work environments, and success may be the result of unethical practices. 00:39:13 - Beware of Wildly Successful Salespeople, Chet warns against blindly promoting wildly successful salespeople. He highlights the importance of looking beyond quota attainment and evaluating how individuals contribute to the overall team and company culture. He shares an example of a sales rep who achieved exceptional results due to a rigged system. 00:40:05 - Connecting with Chet Lovgren, Chet provides various ways to connect with him, including his website, LinkedIn, and TikTok. He offers resources, podcasts, and educational content on sales. 00:41:00 - Chet's All-Time Favorite Movie, Chet reveals that his all-time favorite movie is "Rain Man." He describes it as a perfect story about male relationships, brotherhood, and friendship, with a pure and lovely portrayal of the bonds people can create. Confronting Barriers in Sales Training Chet Lovgren highlights the significant challenge B2B sales reps face when digesting traditional training methods: forgetting nearly all the new information within a month. This issue stems from an outdated approach of condensing too much data into a brief training period, which proves ineffective for long-term retention. Adopting new strategies, such as week-by-week topic-specific training, can make these programs more impactful by integrating the information slowly and thoroughly.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Psychological safety as the yardstick of good EA movement building, published by Severin on May 10, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I recently learned about the distinction between "movement building" and "community building": Community building is for the people involved in a community, and movement building is in service of the cause itself. A story I've heard from a bunch of EA groups is that they start out with community building. They attract a couple people, develop a wonderful vibe, and those people notoriously slack on their reading group preparations. Then, the group organizers get dissatisfied with the lack of visible progress on the EA path, doubt their own impact, and pivot all the way from community building to movement building. No funny pub meetups anymore. Career fellowships and 1-on-1s all the way. I think this throws the baby out with the bathwater, and that more often than not, community building is indeed tremendously valuable movement building, even if it doesn't look like that at first glance. The piece of evidence I can cite on this (and indeed cite over and over again) is Google's "Project Aristotle"-study. In Project Aristotle, Google studied what makes their highest-performing teams highest-performing. And alas: It is not the fanciness of degrees or individual intelligence or agentyness or any other property of the individual team members, but five factors: "The researchers found that what really mattered was less about who is on the team, and more about how the team worked together. In order of importance: Psychological safety: Psychological safety refers to an individual's perception of the consequences of taking an interpersonal risk or a belief that a team is safe for risk taking in the face of being seen as ignorant, incompetent, negative, or disruptive. In a team with high psychological safety, teammates feel safe to take risks around their team members. They feel confident that no one on the team will embarrass or punish anyone else for admitting a mistake, asking a question, or offering a new idea. Dependability: On dependable teams, members reliably complete quality work on time (vs the opposite - shirking responsibilities). Structure and clarity: An individual's understanding of job expectations, the process for fulfilling these expectations, and the consequences of one's performance are important for team effectiveness. Goals can be set at the individual or group level, and must be specific, challenging, and attainable. Google often uses Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to help set and communicate short and long term goals. Meaning: Finding a sense of purpose in either the work itself or the output is important for team effectiveness. The meaning of work is personal and can vary: financial security, supporting family, helping the team succeed, or self-expression for each individual, for example. Impact: The results of one's work, the subjective judgement that your work is making a difference, is important for teams. Seeing that one's work is contributing to the organization's goals can help reveal impact." What I find remarkable is that "psychological safety" leads the list. While some factors in EA actively work against the psychological safety of its members. To name just a few: EA tends to attract pretty smart people. If you throw a bunch of people together who have been used all their lives to being the smart kid in the room, they suddenly lose the default role they had in just about any context. Because now, surrounded by even smarter kids, they are merely the kid. I think this is where a bunch of EAs' impostor syndrome comes from. EAs like to work at EA-aligned organizations. That means that some of us feel like any little chat at a conference (or any little comment on the EA Forum or our social media accounts) also i...
The fundamental difference between Paul and the false apostles he was combating is that he surrendered to a standard from outside the world, and they submitted to a standard that arose from within. And when I use a word like standard, we are referring to both law and gospel. What is the standard for evaluating appropriate behavior? And what is the standard to telling men how they might be saved?
