Discover the power of trust in this podcast episode featuring a deep dive into Dr. Henry Cloud's book "Trust."As Christian leaders, we understand the significance of trust in various aspects of life, from personal relationships to business interactions. Drawing from Dr. Cloud's extensive knowledge and experience, we discuss the importance of distinguishing between good and evil, seeking wisdom, and moving beyond anger and revenge towards forgiveness. Join us as we delve into the profound concepts of trust and learn practical strategies to regain trust in our own lives and inspire trust in others. About Dr. Henry Cloud (from the publisher): Dr. Henry Cloud is an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author. His 45 books, including the iconic Boundaries, have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. He has an extensive executive coaching background and experience as a leadership consultant, devoting the majority of his time working with CEOs, leadership teams, and executives to improve performance, leadership skills and culture. About “Trust: Knowing When to Give It, When to Withhold It, How to Earn It, and How to Fix It When It” (from the publisher): New York Times bestselling author, psychologist, and leadership expert Henry Cloud equips us to understand and manage trust for successful relationships through five foundational aspects. Trust is the fuel for all of life. We are wired biologically, neurologically, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically to trust. Trust is the currency that drives every relationship, beginning with the foundational bond between infants and their mothers, extending to the trust networks that undergird every human endeavor – art, science, commerce – and binding together every relationship we have ever had or ever will have. Nothing in our world works without trust. It is tempting to think that trust is simple, that we should be able to spot a lack of trustworthiness relatively easily. But we all have our stories about misplaced trust. We either missed clear or subtle warning signs or there just were not any warning signs to see. Everything looked good on the surface, and maybe it was. But we got burned anyway. And sometimes we struggle to earn and keep the trust of those around us when trust bonds fail to form or are broken. When trust breaks down, so does our ability to move forward. Dr. Cloud explores the five foundational aspects of trust that must be present for any relationship to function successfully and helps us to understand how to implement them. He also guides us through the difficult process of repairing trust when it has been violated and broken, even when restoring trust feels impossible. Rich with wisdom drawn from decades of experience in clinical practice, business consulting and research, Trust is the ultimate resource for managing this most complex and fundamental of human bonds, allowing us to experience more fruitful and rewarding relationships in every area of our lives.

Discover the power of community and self-reflection with us in our latest podcast episode. As a business coach and consultant, we use the framework of Adam Alter's book “Anatomy of a Breakthrough” to explore the heart, head, and help aspects of personal and professional growth. Through real-life examples and biblical teachings, we emphasize the importance of embracing challenges and staying persistent during times of adversity. From the concept of 'taleo anticipation' to breaking down tasks into smaller components, we provide practical strategies for staying present in the moment and overcoming obstacles. Whether you're navigating a business slump or facing personal hardships, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom and encouragement to help you achieve breakthroughs and reach your full potential. About Adam Alter (from the publisher): Adam Alter is a professor of marketing, and the Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow at New York University’s Stern School of Business. He also holds an affiliated professorship in social psychology at NYU’s psychology department. In 2020 he was voted professor of the year by the faculty and student body at NYU’s Stern School of Business, and was among the Poets and Quants 40 Best Professors Under 40 in 2017. Alter is the New York Times bestselling author of two books: Drunk Tank Pink and Irresistible. About “Anatomy of a Breakthrough” (from the publisher): A groundbreaking guide to breaking free from the thoughts, habits, jobs, relationships, and even business models that prevent us from achieving our full potential. Almost everyone feels stuck in some way. Whether you’re muddling through a midlife crisis, wrestling writer’s block, trapped in a thankless job, or trying to remedy a fraying friendship, the resulting emotion is usually a mix of anxiety, uncertainty, fear, anger, and numbness. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the roadmap we all need to escape our inertia and flourish in the face of friction. Adam Alter has spent the past two decades studying how people become stuck and how they free themselves to thrive. Here he reveals the formula he and other researchers have uncovered. The solution rests on a process that he calls a friction audit—a systematic procedure that uncovers why a person or organization is stuck, and then suggests a path to progress. The friction audit states that people and organizations get unstuck when they overcome three sources of friction: HEART (unhelpful emotions); HEAD (unhelpful patterns of thought); and HABIT (unhelpful behaviors). Despite the ubiquity of friction, there are many great “unstickers” hidden in plain sight among us and Alter shines a light on some exceptional stories to share their valuable lessons with us. He tells us about the sub-elite swimmer who unstuck himself twice to win two Olympic gold medals, the actor who faced countless rejections before gaining worldwide fame, the renowned painter who became paralyzed and had to relearn to paint with a brush strapped to his wrist, and Alter’s own story of getting unstuck from a college degree that made him deeply unhappy. Artfully weaving together scientific studies, anecdotes, and interviews, Alter teaches us that getting stuck is a feature rather than a glitch on the road to thriving, but with the right tweaks and corrections we can reach even our loftiest targets.

In this episode of "The Consultant and the Coach," experienced Christian consultants and coaches Josh Shoemaker and Erik Mickelson discuss how the principles outlined in "Profit with Presence" by Dr. Eric J. Holsapple can be applied to one’s personal life. This podcast aims to equip Christian business leaders with practical advice on how to succeed in their careers while staying true to their faith. Join Josh and Erik as they share their expertise and discuss the importance of being mindful in our life seasons, the "Be, Do, Have" pillar, the State of Mind chapter, and the importance of community. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and apply them to your life and business. About the book (from the publisher): It’s time for leaders to join the mindful business revolution and find true success. Although the world is currently abuzz with the term “mindfulness,” some believe mindfulness is a fringe activity to be practiced before or after the workday, if at all. Too few business professionals take the time needed to be present and aware throughout the workday, which is counterproductive. Dr. Eric Holsapple, successful developer and entrepreneur, has realized the value of mindfulness as not only a path to personal success, but as a sound business strategy. Mindfulness and Presence can transform business culture, improving focus and communication while reducing distractions and stress. Holsapple learned this lesson years ago, after achieving “success” as defined by society but still feeling unhappy and stressed. In Profit with Presence, he shares the lessons he learned and his twelve pillars for personal and business success, which are easy to understand and implement through practice exercises. Holsapple shows that bringing mindfulness to the workplace is an investment that pays out real dividends. Readers will learn from his journey―along with support from other mindful leaders and research―to help them bring mindfulness to themselves as well as their families, businesses, and communities. Now is the time for leaders to invest in the mindful business movement and become part of the solution. About the author (from the publisher): Eric Holsapple is a successful developer and entrepreneur with LC Real Estate Group, in Loveland, Colorado, who has used mindfulness to transform his life and business, and helps others to do the same. Eric has a PhD in economics, has been a real estate CEO and developer for nearly 40 years, has lectured in real estate at Colorado State University for 20 years, and has practiced Yoga and meditation for 30 years. Holsapple has a unique perspective on how merging business and mindfulness can be a catalyst in changing lives. Eric is the founder of Living in the Gap. His popular workshops teach CEOs and professionals a different way to operate mindfully while improving the bottom line.

In this podcast, Josh and Erik delve into the practical application of the book "Say the Right Thing" to one's personal life. Drawing on their own experiences and insights, they explore how Christians can navigate the book's advice and determine what to accept and what to reject when it conflicts with the teachings of the Bible. They emphasize the importance of discernment and prayerful consideration when evaluating the book's principles, and provide practical tips and examples for applying its insights in a way that aligns with Christian values. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how to apply "Say the Right Thing" to their personal relationships and interactions, and how to do so in a way that honors their faith. About the book (from the publisher): "A practical, shame-free guide for navigating conversations across our differences at a time of rapid social change. In the current period of social and political unrest, conversations about identity are becoming more frequent and more difficult. On subjects like critical race theory, gender equity in the workplace, and LGBTQ-inclusive classrooms, many of us are understandably fearful of saying the wrong thing. That fear can sometimes prevent us from speaking up at all, depriving people from marginalized groups of support and stalling progress toward a more just and inclusive society. Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow, founders of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law, are here to show potential allies that these conversations don’t have to be so overwhelming. Through stories drawn from contexts as varied as social media posts, dinner party conversations, and workplace disputes, they offer seven user-friendly principles that teach skills such as how to avoid common conversational pitfalls, engage in respectful disagreement, offer authentic apologies, and better support people in our lives who experience bias. Research-backed, accessible, and uplifting, Say the Right Thing charts a pathway out of cancel culture toward more meaningful and empathetic dialogue on issues of identity. It also gives us the practical tools to do good in our spheres of influence. Whether managing diverse teams at work, navigating issues of inclusion at college, or challenging biased comments at a family barbecue, Yoshino and Glasgow help us move from unconsciously hurting people to consciously helping them."
