<p>In today's episode I want to talk to you about music. More specifically the REM song "Losing My Religion". Believe it or not, this song isn't literally about religion.</p> <p>Since there is a lot of meaning behind the original term "losing my religion" as well as the ACTUAL meaning of the song to it's writers, there are a lot of great talking points that I will be bringing up with you today!</p> <p>... and if you are wondering, yes I will be playing an acoustic cover of the song.

<p>Many professionals get caught in a CPE mindset when it comes to professional development. A CPE mindset will not get you promotions or new positions. In the knowledge revolution, we have to become lifelong learners - those concerned with learning and growing each day, week, and month - not just completing hours of random CPE each year. Find out how to switch mindsets, increase your likelihood of having your training requests approved, and some questions you can ask yourself to be proactive with your learning opportunities.</p> <p>Listen in at: <a href="http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason8/">http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason8/</a></p>

<p>In today's podcast we have Guido Van Drunen back on the show to discuss with us how what we are measuring may not be what we SHOULD be measuring.&nbsp;</p> <p>While measuring certain data points, it can be easy to create certain situations where we bring about unintended consequences.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Despite the fact that some of these consequences may not be nefarious in nature, it can lead to quite destructive behavior.</p> <p><br></p> <p>One common example would be that if a company tracks safety metrics, it may lead to employees no longer reporting on the job accidents in order to continue receiving certain incentives.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>So listen in to today's episode and see how policy can be changed for the better.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Check out Guido's article "Benchmarking Drives Behavior" at: <a href="https://guidonvandrunen.substack.com/p/benchmark-drives-behavior">https://guidonvandrunen.substack.com/p/benchmark-drives-behavior</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Listen in at: <a href="http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason215/">http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason215/</a></p> <p><br></p>

<p>In this #jammingwithjason #podcast I speak with my friend Mo Issa about his journey of self discovery and finding what is really important in life.</p> <p><br></p> <p>I met Mo many years ago when we were both trained to be coaches by Brian Tracy and we have continued our friendship as our paths keep crossing. Mo is one of the most authentic, reflective and wise people I know, so thought it was perfect to have him on the podcast to discuss how to become more self-aware, intentional, and learn how to slow down and relax... things most of us don't start doing until a mid-life crisis.</p> <p><br></p> <p>And I'm guessing you don't want to have a "crisis" in your life to before you start implementing this wisdom, right?!</p> <p><br></p> <p>And of course, like usual there are lots of quotable lines and lessons for you to develop habits that help you live your best life and get the most out of your career.</p> <p><br></p> <p>How can you reflect more and be intentional in your life?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Learn more about Mo and sign up for his weekly newsletter at: mo-issa.com</p> <p><br></p> <p>Listen in at: <a href="http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason192/">http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason192/</a></p>

<p>In this week's #jammingwithjason I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Many of you are playing the game of your career without much help. The problem is, others in your organization are getting help, which means you are playing at a big disadvantage.</p> <p>I'm not talking about a lack of resources or struggling to get budget and support. It's about getting yourself the training, coaching, and support you need to play varsity-level sport... like your peers. It's about having the right balance (e.g. American football: offense, defense, passing, running) to get you performing at an elite status.</p> <p>Take a listen and see some of the areas where getting a little extra help, will go along way in helping you play the game of your career and life as a champion.</p> <p>If you are a CAE and really serious about elevating the status of internal audit in your organization, improving your executive presence, and getting best practices and thought leadership from like-minded CAEs, the CAE Forum is for you.</p>
