Yahoo Small Busines- 4 Steps to Starting a Conversation about Changing Your Culture

By Adrienne Burke | Small Business

---

Wondering how to fix your business’s culture? If you’re like most business leaders, you probably are. VitalSmarts founders and researchers Joseph Grenny and David Maxfield found recently that a large majority of executives, managers, and employees have an unfavorable view of their culture, and that views of what an organization values differ drastically between management and employees. How to align views and improve the environment? These experts say start by talking about it.“There is no way to close this gap without honest, open dialogue,” says Grenny. “Basically, people say their leaders hype one set of behaviors but reward another—that gap in perception is the starting point for conversation.“
Grenny says leaders need to make employees feel that it’s safe to ask for clarity about company values. "If leaders are seen as sending mixed messages about what they truly believe will drive performance, they should invite employees to point out this perceived hypocrisy,” he says. “Leaders tend to think employees won’t open up—but we’ve seen the opposite. When an executive sits down and truly listens, employees will be surprisingly honest.”

VitalSmarts, a leadership training company, has found that culture change can occur when leadership is trained in the skills to speak up and hold people accountable. According to Maxfield, cultures improve when leaders participate in interpersonal skills training. Trained leaders, he says, aren’t just better at communicating with and managing their teams, but they can also teach those skills to employees. The outcome, he says, is “a new, healthy cultural norm.”
Grenny and Maxfield, whose books Crucial Conversations and Crucial Accountability were New York Times business bestsellers, recommend four leadership strategies for starting a candid discussion about a culture chasm:

1. Understand the business case. Before you set off to change your culture, be clear about the business reasons for doing so. Leaders who do it as a feel-good strategy turn it into a hobby and tend to create little beyond cynicism. There are hard, measurable reasons for changing culture—articulate those before you begin.
2. Focus on vital behaviors. You can’t change 10 to 15 behaviors in a company—you can really only focus on a vital two or three. Pick the behaviors that will make the biggest difference in performance.
3. Listen deeply. Before you can change culture, you need to know where you stand. The best way to do this isn’t with a safe, antiseptic survey administered by outsiders. The best way is for executives to vulnerably engage with the employees who know best. Pair up, meet with groups of 8 to 10 employees. Spend 60 to 90 minutes asking open-ended questions like, “What advice would you give a friend if they came to work here?” “What does it take to succeed here?” or “If you had a magic wand, what’s one thing you would change?”
4. Take action. Listening creates expectations. Once employees take a risk to share their perceptions, they begin watching to see if you’ve really listened. They’ll want to see evidence. Pick a couple of valued and visible concerns and address them quickly. This builds trust in your sincerity to make longer-term changes that may involve the employees themselves changing their behavior.

Strength Training Develops Solid Softball Players

By: Lynn Vandyke

Softball is a popular sport these days. Corporations, adult leagues and inner-city competitions are fueling the demand for skilled and competitive players. While softball may be experiencing a surge of interest, the basic techniques to improve your game and gain a competitive edge have remained the same.

Many do not realize that basic softball movements such as batting and throwing are not a directly related to arm strength. The movement begins in the legs. The power is then transferred into the hips, the torso, the upper back, the chest, the shoulders and then the arms.

A proper softball strength training routine will include an exercise for each muscle group. During the off-season, athletes will be able to strength train 2-3 times per week. Training should be reduced to 1-2 times per week during the season. Each exercise should be performed 8-12 times for 1-3 sets.

Quickness, speed, agility, balance, explosiveness, and power will be enhanced as the strength training program progresses. Below is a list of sample exercises for the commonly used muscles in softball. There are many other exercises you could perform, but this will provide a starting point.

Quadriceps- Squats, One-Legged Squats, Jump Squats

Hams & Glutes- Lunges, Explosive Lunges, Bridge on Ball

Hip Adductors/Abductors- Lying Side Leg Raises, Ball Squeeze

Obliques- Oblique Crunch on Ball

Rectus Abdominis- Ball Crunch, 180 Ball Crunch

Erector Spinae- Plank Pose

Deltoids- Shoulder Press, Military Press

Pectoralis Major- Chest Fly, Chest Press, Push ups

Latissimus Dorsi- Bent Over Row, Reverse Fly

Triceps- Overhead Extensions, Skull crushers

Biceps- Bicep Curl, Hammer Curl

A powerful softball strength training program will produce powerful players. Use a full ROM (range of motion) for each exercise. Generally free weights provide a better ROM than machines, but use which ever feels best to you. The ultimate goal is to create a solid program that will deliver a well-rounded athlete.

BPI Sports Presents: OLYMPIA 2017 Highlights with Courtney King - TEAM BPI and Keto Bomb Vs. Bulletproof Coffee

Keto Bomb Vs. Bulletproof Coffee

Coffee is not just coffee anymore.  You can choose beans, grounds, K-cups, creamer flavors, sizes, hot, iced, brands… you name it, it’s probably available. But when it comes to a coffee that offers benefits other than a caffeine boost, two options rise to the top. The sweet, creamy and nutritiously dense Keto Bomb™ creamer and the trendy, fat-rich, Bulletproof coffee. Here is a breakdown of the benefits of each and how to make them. Take a look and see how these two distinct cups of coffee stack up.

What is Keto Bomb™?

Designed to be the perfect addition to a ketogenic or low-carb diet, Keto Bomb™ is a delicious and nourishing ketogenic creamer. It utilizes a blend of electrolytes, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and essential fats to help fuel your body and brain. Simply add a scoop of Keto Bomb™ to your coffee for an easy, delicious way to boost your daily fat intake. For a ketogenic diet, these fat calories are essential to help your body burn fat and support your weight loss goals.

What’s in Keto Bomb™?

• Electrolytes: Help the body to maintain proper hydration levels.
• MCTs: These fatty acids are good fats that may support cognitive function and weight management.
• Essential fats: On a ketogenic diet, fats are 75% of your recommended daily caloric intake. This helps transition your body from using glucose (carbs) as energy to using ketones (fat) as energy, which supports weight loss.

How to Make a Keto Bomb™ 

Add a scoop of Keto Bomb™ to your favorite coffee. Stir and enjoy!

What is Bulletproof Coffee?

Bulletproof coffee is more nutritious than your average cup of joe. It is loaded with calories and healthy fats to match. Often used when fasting, Bulletproof coffee provides energy and can help you feel satiated.

What is in Bulletproof Coffee?

• Brain Octane – A proprietary, pure MCT oil that should be introduced into the body slowly to avoid what they call “disaster pants.”
• Bulletproof Coffee – These dark roast blends start at $14.99 for 12-ounce bags.
• Bulletproof Grass-fed Ghee – Clarified butter from grass-fed cows

How to Make a Bulletproof Coffee

Start by adding 2 ½ tablespoons of Bulletproof ground coffee to 8 ounces of boiling water and set it to brew. Then, add 1-2 tablespoons of Bulletproof Ghee and 1 serving of Brain Octane oil. Put it in an immersion blender until frothy and serve.

Conclusion

Keto Bomb™ and Bulletproof coffee both have their advantages. If you have plenty of time to play Barista, a Bulletproof coffee may be worth checking out. However, for all the benefits of Bulletproof with the addition of electrolytes and stir-and-go convenience, Keto Bomb™ reigns supreme. In our fast-paced world, the one scoop solution can turn a hectic morning into a delicious, nutritious and enjoyable daily routine.

Motorcycle Riding Tips For A Safe Riding (Experience)

By: Mark Share

Many people have chosen motorcycles instead of automobiles for transportation. Although these vehicles can be fun to ride and economical to maintain, there are important factors to consider when driving them. Explore tips and strategies for staying safe if you choose to ride one.

Injury and Fatality Data

Only about two percent of the total number of registered vehicles in the United States are motorcycles. However, these vehicles represent about five percent of all highway fatalities that occur each year in this country. The disparity between these two percentages illustrates the high number of people killed when they choose this type of transportation. In a motorcycle accident, about 80 percent of the time, the rider is either injured or killed. With an automobile accident, occupants of the car are only injured or killed about 20 percent of the time.

Comparison of Vehicles

The reason for the high number of incidences resulting in both injury and death with motorcycles is mainly due to the lack of protection. With a car, people have the heavy structure of the vehicle around them. The roof and door beams protect in the event of a rollover or impact. Automobile restraints and airbags also offer important protection from injury and death in accidents. Cars are also much heavier and bulkier. The stability of four wheels is a vast improvement over two wheels. It's also more difficult to see motorcycles on the road due to their smaller size. This difficulty means that sometimes other drivers simply don't see a motorcycle, which can contribute to serious accidents.

Agility Factor

While these vehicles do have some serious safety issues, there are some positive factors. A person riding a motorcycle has better maneuverability and agility on the road. This driver can often stop faster and swerve to avoid obstacles. While these are important benefits, they do not completely offset the negative safety issues.

Staying Safe

- Before choosing this two-wheeled form of transportation, a rider should take and complete a training course that teaches skills and safety. At the end of the course, the student should pass a test to certify the skills.

- When riding, it is best to remain constantly vigilant for dangers. Defensive driving is an important tactic. Try to anticipate what other drivers may do. Along with staying alert, assume that other drivers will not see you.

- Use extreme caution at intersections. Intersections present serious dangers, and they are the location where most accidents occur for motorcycles.

- Remaining visible is one of the most important goals. Never ride in another vehicle's blind spot.

- Avoid riding in inclement weather due to obstacles and slippery surfaces. A lack of windshield wipers can reduce your ability to see.

- Ride with a helmet, eye protection, and appropriate clothing. Long pants, a jacket, and gloves can help reduce the severity of injuries.

- Never ride when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

An awareness of potential issues can help increase overall safety. Follow recommendations for riding to avoid accidents and injuries.

Be Blessed Financially

by Creflo Dollar | 21 Feb 2018

If you’ve ever wondered how to scrape together the money to pay the next round of bills, you’re not alone. Many of us have been at the point where we feel like we’re living paycheck to paycheck, and we wonder if there’s more to life than just barely scraping by. There is, and if we study our Bibles, we learn that struggling isn’t God’s will for us. God wants us to live abundant, prosperous lives, including in our finances.
Most people have become resigned to living in lack and insufficiency, but this is completely unnecessary. The world may tell us we’ll always struggle financially, but the Word of God tells us something completely different: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Our minds are powerful tools and, when we believe in God’s ability and willingness to prosper us, things begin to change.
God loves us, and He doesn’t want to see us toiling and working hard with no results. He wants us to be happy and have more than enough. This is true not just in our finances, but also in life. “For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee” (Psalm 128:2). When we decide to agree with what God says about us, we open ourselves up to receive the blessings He has for us.
God made us free moral agents. He won’t force anything on us, including financial prosperity. Choosing to believe what He says opens the door for His good things to come our way. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV ). God brings financial peace and bright futures for those who trust Him.
Jesus came to earth to break the stranglehold the devil had on people; poverty was one of the curses that Jesus destroyed. “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). In heaven, He had everything He could ever possibly need, but He willingly exchanged it so that we could live in abundance.
When we combine wise money management with the Word of God in this area, we succeed. In the natural, this includes strategies like living within our means, paying off debt, and saving regularly. In the supernatural, this means avoiding greed and maintaining the proper attitude toward wealth. “And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). The world may say otherwise, but money is simply a tool to use to help others.
God is aware that we all need money, but we spend far too much time worrying about it. We can trust in His provision when our priorities are correct. “…For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:32, 33). Trusting God’s Word and putting Him first results in abundance on all levels.
