  • Spiritual without religion

    I have really enjoyed the daily proverbs. It is of great interest to me the different perceptions and understandings people have. Kelly doesn’t use the same translation as I do, but that just adds to the nuance. It wasn’t written in English so there is room for a variety of wording. And as English has changed over the years things have different flavor. Thank you Kelly for sharing this

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#852 Dr Gene Coughlin
Q: How do you manufacture those environments in a small business?
Coughlin recommends setting challenging goals, taking calculated risks and treating failures as part of a learning cycle: examine what went wrong, make a change and try again with the team.
#852 Dr Gene Coughlin
Q: How do you build leaders without them going through the shared suffering?
Coughlin says leaders develop by helping teams face difficult work, setbacks and failure together, learn from those experiences, and improve both individually and collectively.
#849 The people business - Proverbs 25 Claudia Wells & Mathew Bowyer.
Q: Claudia, how would you explain what The Vibe Room feels like to someone who has never been?
It's an authentic, high-level experience where you feel like you're among family; the room is supportive, and people from all walks of life come together to share, laugh, and learn from each other.
#835 Craig Gottlieb
Q: What do you wish that people knew about law enforcement from your perspective as a volunteer?
People often have a two-dimensional view of cops; through open houses and riding along, you gain a three-dimensional understanding of the challenges, decision-making under pressure, and the importance of treating everyone with respect, which can transform how communities perceive police.
#833 Joaquim Harris
Q: What was the turning point when you learned the value of mentorship and friendship?
The long-standing bonds with friends who became like family, and mentors who treated me with tough love, showed me that support and accountability from others can elevate you beyond what you thought possible.
