This is one of our more exciting episodes where we're provided the opportunity to discover more about, not only ourselves but also how we may consider ways to serve and support others through change.  A Dr. Smith quote from the conversation: "Bring it every day".  We have all we need to become the person we want to be.

Dr. Smith Absolutely. Hello. Thank you very much for having me. My name is Justin Smith, and my background is in neuroscience. That's what my Ph.D. is in. And the reason why people I jokingly say I won't make my brothers call me Dr. Bias. 00;02;04;08 - 00;02;35;00   Just you can call me Justin, but my Ph.D. is in neuroscience specifically and stress and decision making. And I get asked or brought in to help work with groups that groups or individuals. Interesting. An interest in enhancing their decision making under extreme stress, but also understanding how the brain works under dynamic circumstances. And I think that's very applicable to what we're talking about today, this idea of change and transition and kind of what's happening specifically to you as individuals, but also to the groups that you're part of. 00;02;35;03 - 00;02;58;09   Well, it's pretty exciting, Dr. Smith, that really having you, because not many people know is that actually about 12 plus years ago, I actually had a brain aneurysm. Right? It ruptured. You know, I had the hemorrhagic stroke and my brain needed to change under a lot of stress and things like that. It's amazing to, you know, to talk to someone and how people can go through these things and how the brain can change and how people can change. 00;02;58;09 - 00;03;19;15   When you're under stress, our life and life changes. Yeah, absolutely. I think that's a an incredible story. I'm happy to see just my brief interaction already that you've done a fantastic recovery. Those are very can be very life altering events. One of the one of the things I'd like to talk about, it's kind of bring it in for us today, kind of jump jump the agenda a little bit. 00;03;19;15 - 00;03;42;29   But the idea of neuroplasticity.

  • Impact: Be a Force Multiplier

    Impact: Be a Force Multiplier
    Dec 15 2023
    Impact is about results. Impact is delivered by having clear and measurable goals that are regularly tracked with milestones. Understanding how to achieve impact or what the desired results should be is sometimes not easy. This is where we want to tie back and leverage some of our previous episodes on connections, communication, and visibility to help others in driving impact. Short and long success personally and professionally is all about driving the best and highest impact.   We have all we need to become the person we want to be…let’s remember how to connect with others with sincerity and genuine intent as we continue the mission to serve.   ---------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript: 00;00;08;00 - 00;00;28;17   You're listening to the Oracle Maven podcast, where we bring people together from the veteran affiliated community to highlight employees, partners, organized actions, and those who are continuing the mission to serve. Welcome to the Maiden podcast. I'm your host, Chris Spencer, and in this episode I'm joined by our co-host David Cross, senior vice president and SAS Chief Information Security Officer within Oracle. 00;00;28;29 - 00;00;51;20   In this episode, we discuss impact. The impact is about results. Impact is delivered by having clear and measurable goals that are regularly tracked with milestones. Understanding how to achieve impact or what the desired results should be is sometimes not easy. This is where we want to tie back and leverage some of our previous episodes on connections, communication and visibility to help others in driving impact short and long term success. 00;00;51;24 - 00;01;08;02   Personally and professionally is all about driving the best and highest impact We have all we need to become the person we want to be. So let's remember how to connect with others with sincerity and genuine intent. As we continue the mission to serve. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy this episode. And please remember to check in on your buddies and family. 00;01;08;07 - 00;01;24;11   And don't forget to send us feedback, suggestions and topics on what you would like us to cover in future episodes. It helps spread the word to the broader community David's contact details are in the podcast description, and you can always find me on LinkedIn Morning, David. 00;01;24;19 - 00;01;33;16   Good morning. I'm excited. Seems like it's been a couple of weeks here, almost taking too long. And this for get to there because we want to have impact, right? You know with our community. 00;01;34;01 - 00;01;36;29   Impact sounds like we're talking about impact. 00;01;37;10 - 00;02;03;27   Well, in the end, you know, Chris, it's kind of everything we're talking about is why are we doing this, right? Why do we, you know, talking about, you know, connecting in relationships and communicating? You know, it's because so we can have more impact impact our lives, impact on our jobs, impacting our careers. And so I kind of start thinking about how can we help people to, you know, have some best practices understanding how to have the largest amount of impact. 00;02;04;09 - 00;02;12;01   That's right. To discover what your purpose is probably has a lot to influence whether or not you feel like you're being impactful. 00;02;12;17 - 00;02;31;26   Well, you know, I think as many companies are certainly high tech companies now is you know, I don't get into the performance reviews and things like that. Maybe that's a whole nother podcast in itself. But it's really people want to say, you know, measure how much impact did you have? You know, what were your results you know, did you have big results? 00;02;31;26 - 00;02;45;18   Do you have major results? Do you have minor results? And I think then we should really talk about how do you measure these things? How do you drive for impact? Right? How do you know when you may not be measuring or looking at the right things? 00;02;46;00 - 00;03;10;16   Yeah, that's right. You touched on a couple of things inside that already as we're just kicking this off. So I think when when you know what you're supposed to be doing, the questions that come in are somewhat of what you introduced as well. How do I do that when you find what's important? And then you say, well, how do I know it's going to actually yield the results that everybody's considering or expecting? 00;03;11;05 - 00;03;34;02   You know? And so you have the OKRs, the KPIs, you know, even in response to a question, could give an indicator as to whether or not you're aligned What I guess the you or the group had discussed is what is needing to be done. But I think there's also some room here to talk about some of those other things that maybe aren't measurable or at least maybe hard to explain. 00;03;34;02 - 00;03;52;04   Maybe there are measurable if you if you're skilled at being able to interpret what's happening so maybe maybe we'll kind of focus on ...

  • EXOS: Reflection and Regulation with Colin Young

    EXOS: Reflection and Regulation with Colin Young
    Dec 7 2023
    Reviewing one’s activity and experiences to assess the effect or value of the outcome is what we often do with intention, sometimes without even realizing we are doing it. Thinking about how we performed, interacted with others, or maybe even didn’t do enough is important. What’s more important is how we manage those thoughts where we regulate what we think, how we feel, and what we need to do. There are specific techniques that help! Focusing on the mental and cognitive aspects of our performance is a key component in the complete package of personal optimization.   We’re talking Reflection and Regulation. Listen in as Colin and I continue our discussion journey of how EXOS delivers value toward helping get you ready for the moments that matter.

And so I started coaching at a young age. 00;02;39;17 - 00;02;58;18   I was involved in sports in high school and college, played college baseball and it was a small school.
