Coaching The BibleNaso: On BirthdaysHi all!
This is episode 90! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G that we have reached this moment. Admittedly, it's a bit hard to believe, though I'm guessing episode 100, will be harder to believe!
Thank you everyone for listening each week. I appreciate it and I appreciate you.
This week is a special episode (S2:E36) because we are celebrating my birthday (today) and our topic this week is: BIRTHDAYS!
What is the connection between the Nazir and your/my birthday?
If you guessed holding back from wine, you'd be wrong! Not doing that!

Coaching The BibleBamidbar: On BelongingHi All!
This is episode 89 (S2:E35)!
This week we begin the 4th Book of the Bible, known as Bamidbar in Hebrew and Numbers in English.
Our topic this week: On Belonging
This week, the Bible tells us about tribes, leaders, numbers of people, and flags (of all things!).
I got super interested in the issue of the flags and wondered about the origin of that idea and what flags actually mean.
Why do we have them, why do we need them, and what does it say...2022-05-2722 min

We are closing in on the end of the book of Leviticus. Our portion (here in Israel) is Behar.
Our topic this week: On Sabbath
We are going to a deep dive into building a form of Sabbath into our lives, based on the concept of the land lying fallow for a year, and of course, the weekly commandment to observe Sabbath on the seventh day.
Amazingly, we will quote both Rabbi Elijah of Vilna and Ferris Bueller. Don't miss that!

This is episode 86 (S2:E32)
When I say the word 'respect' what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
For me, it was 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T' by Aretha Franklin. So, we're not going to go in that direction this week, but we are going to talk about the value and importance of respect.

This week we once again complete the Book of Exodus with the building and establishment of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) in the desert. A story that has occupied much of the bible text for the last 5 weeks.
Our topic this week: On Measuring Success
The question: How do we measure our successes in life? Is it purely a calculation of numbers, overall impact? Is it emotional or is it something else? If we look at the bible story would we measure the people's success by virtue...2022-03-0418 min
Coaching The BibleVayakhel: On TalentHi All!
Welcome back to Coaching With The Bible! This is Season 2, Episode 22, and overall #76!
Our topic this week: Talent
We talk about talented people all the time. Some we see as 'prodigies' and others as 'naturals.' They have 'God-given ability' the likes of which we could never approach.
Is that actually true? Is there truly a thing as 'innate ability?'
When you think about it, ask this: What is 'talent'? What do we mean when we use that word to describe someone's ability?

Coaching The BibleKi Tisa: On AnxietyHi all!

This week: Ki Tisa, Episode 75!
Our Topic: Anxiety
We will look at one approach to understanding what the people of Israel were thinking when they determined it was time to make the Golden Calf. We will not excuse the act, but rather explain what is going on in that moment and perhaps appreciate how that could be us, though not in building idols but in many other moments and situations in life.

We take a look at George Washington at his first inauguration and the High Priest as he enters the Tabernacle. Yes! A comparison between the two exists! But that's not our focus...

Season 2 Episode 19 is here!
Our topic this week: On Volunteering
The bible spends a lot of time over the next few weeks discussing the many intricate details of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) and the clothing of the Priests, but we should not lose sight of the many contributions that the people made to the success of that massive project.
We go deep (and long! sorry) on what it means to volunteer and why it is so important.

Coaching The BibleMishpatim: On ResponsibilityHi all!
Welcome back to Coaching With The Bible! Season 2: Episode 18 (#72)
This week's topic: Responsibility
So my question for this week is: Is there ever a point where our responsibility for actions ends? Is there a line we can draw after which we are no longer responsible for what happens? Does it differ between a legal and perhaps our own moral/ethical standard?
Ok, that was more than one question.
Oh, and what is the difference, assuming there is one, between responsible and accountable?
BIG Topic!

Coaching The BibleYitro: On BoundariesHi all!
Episode 71 has arrived!
This week we are discussing 'Boundaries'
Some will call them borders, others will call them fences, and still others, walls. They are the things that separate us and divide us, or so we might think!
What if boundaries are actually good for us, help us, allow us to grow? Then maybe they're not so bad and maybe we should consider the boundaries we have and perhaps more importantly the ones we don't yet have...

We have reached another milestone! Episode #70!!! Feeling quite grateful and thankful!!!
This week's discussion, for Season 2 Episode 16, is Beshalach: On Obstacles
The people of Israel hit the ground running this week and run into obstacle after obstacle, adversity after adversity, problem after problem and the question is 'why?'
Why does God have to constantly make it so difficult for them? Can't they rest? They've been slaves forever! How about a week off, then bring on another challenge?!? It seems endless... What is going on?

Coaching The BibleBo: On PatienceHi all!
Season 2 Episode 15 is here!
Our topic this week: Patience
When you hear the word 'patience' what comes to mind? Passive? Laziness? I think a lot of people do 'hear' those words. To me, patience is one of those 'soft skills' that are so hard to develop.
We take a moment this week to consider the long history of the Exile in Egypt and the patience of the generations before the Redemption takes place.
Patience is more than a virtue! How much do we value it?

Who doesn't feel a bit overwhelmed by what is happening around us right now? I know I do. It's hard and it's complex and it's a feeling that few if any of us at all want to feel: Overwhelmed.
So, let's talk about it because the people of Israel seemed to feel the same way in this week's reading.

Ask yourself:
What is the reason that I am occasionally not able to communicate with someone else? Is it me (no way! for sure it's them!)?

A slight departure from our usual dissection of a subject that is based on the weekly reading of the Torah and instead, a topic that is timely to the holiday of Yom Kippur: Forgiveness.
So, my question of the week: How forgiving are you? When someone (friend, relative, co-worker) wrongs you, how quick are you to not only NOT just blame, yell, argue, fight, etc, but rather to forgive?

Episode #51 is here. This week we discuss a timely topic: Repentance.
With the Jewish New Year upon us in just a few days, our minds are a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. One of the many things we are thinking about and perhaps actively working on is repenting for all that we may have done wrong during the past year. Repentance as a commandment is beautiful, if somewhat difficult to fulfill.

How comfortable are you at saying the following words: 'I don't know?'
It is so hard for so many of us to utter those words. For some, it's a matter of feeling tarnished by not knowing something. For others, it's a sense of diminished intellectual capacity. It can sometimes be brutal to say it out loud. I imagine we've all been there.

For who?
Do you know someone who lives that way? Meaning, their entire mindset and approach to EVERYTHING in life is 'going above & beyond?'
(If that's not you, totally ok, though I am so curious to ask you how THAT person makes you feel! I won't ask, but I think I know!)
It is a legitimate approach to life and one that highly successful people often ascribe to.

Coaching The BibleDevarim: On TeachingHi all!
Episode 43 opens up the 5th and last book of the Five Books Of Moses, known as Deuteronomy (or Devarim).
We pick up our conversation with a discussion of the key role that teaching plays in being a great leader.
Quick question to consider as we begin: Think of the great leaders in your life, were they also great teachers? If so, how? If not, how did they lead if they did not teach?
We'll learn from Pres Washington, Rabbi Sacks, Harvard Business Review, and from our own experience of...2021-07-1615 min

Coaching The BiblePinchas: On SuccessionHi all!
We have reached episode 40! AMAZING!
This week's topic: On Succession
We delve a bit into Moses' concern for the person that would be chosen to follow in his footsteps as the leader of the People of Israel and the person to be tasked with taking them into the Land and settling it with them. An ENORMOUS task!
The question though is: what if any succession planning, development, and execution have you set in motion in your life, whether that is business or personal? what does it...2021-07-0216 min
Coaching The BibleBalak: On FocusHi all!
Episode 39 is here (a little later in the day than even I'm comfortable with)!
This week we are focused on 'Focus', and our person of the week is not Bilaam, but rather Balak.
What does the King of Moab have to teach us (and the People of Israel then)?
How can we do better implement 'focus' in our lives? We briefly explore a two-step process that can begin to help us improve our focus day to day.
Happy Learning!2021-06-2518 min
Coaching The BibleChukat: On DisciplineHi all!
Welcome back for episode 38!
Chukat: On Discipline
This week we take a look at Moses at the moment when he hits the rock rather than speak to it as God had commanded and we will learn a deep lesson about discipline, the 3rd of our key principles for Great Leadership (courage and humility being the other two).
Enjoy and Happy Learning!

Coaching The BibleKorach: On Crisis Leadership IIYes, we have discussed this topic before, but...
...different time, different crisis, different approach!
Moses vs Korach: The Ultimate Rumble in Desert...
A bit long this week (sorry!), but really valuable discussion on the way Moses handles the disaster that is the story of Korach.
Enjoy and Happy Learning!

Coaching The BibleShelach: On CourageWe ALL know of the cowardly lion from 'The Wizard of Oz' seeking only a bit of courage.
I imagine we can name others who we deem as 'courageous' or 'brave' and certainly have many we believe to be cowardly.
The question is: what does it actually mean to be a person of courage, where does it come from, and maybe most importantly, how do we get some?
This week on Coaching With The Bible (episode 36) we go deep on the 2nd of the Three Traits of Great Leadership: Courage
Our...2021-06-0418 min
Coaching The BibleBehaalotecha: On HumilityIf I asked you what does it mean to be arrogant, you could tell me without issue. You might even want to point out a person or two (please don't!)
If I asked you what does it mean to be conceited or cocky, you could tell me that, too.
If I asked you what does it mean to be humble, what does it look like, I think you are more likely to tell me what it isn't than what it is. Sometimes that is easier because humility is hard to define and explain.

Coaching The BibleNaso: On UnityHow do we create unity on our teams?
To me, this question opens up a long conversation about the concepts of unity and diversity and goal setting and success, etc. It's a BIG one and it is also one that we will only begin to delve into this week. More to come...
So...
How do we create unity on our teams?
Does unity relate to or stand distinct from last week's discussion on harmony?
What lesson(s) do the biblical tribal leaders teach us about building unity?
How do we see that in the l...2021-05-2116 min
Coaching The BibleBamidbar: On HarmonyHi all!!!
Quick shout out to my oldest daughter who is proudly and bravely defending our people as a member of our armed forces! I don't think anything I ever personally do, will come close to that! So proud of you!!!
Please have her and all of her fellow soldiers in your prayers today and every day.
This week's episode is entitled 'Bamidbar: On Harmony'
Harmony is not usually a word we associate with coaching. I get that. We would more often speak of congruence and alignment whether around an idea...2021-05-1414 min
Coaching The BibleLeviticus: Upon Reflection IIIHi all.
A tough couple of weeks here in Israel. I hope you and yours are safe, healthy, and happy.
As we head into the holiday of Shavuot and the acceptance, once again, of the Torah from God, that we do so with great reverence, humility, respect, joy, and excitement. There is so much to learn and so many ways to grow.
As we did at the end of both Genesis and Exodus, I thought I'd share a short BONUS summary episode for Leviticus entitled:

Coaching The BibleBehar-Bechukotai: On ConsequencesEpisode 31 coincides with the conclusion of the Book of Leviticus! (That happened way too quickly!!)
How much of what happens to us in life is a direct result of our actions? It's a heavy question, I know, and not one that is answerable in a single podcast.
Allow me though to continue with the following:
When the Bible describes incredible blessings and horrific curses in this week's reading do we see them as blessing and punishment, and up to God to determine whether we receive one or the other? What happens if we...2021-05-0713 min
Coaching The BibleEmor: On VulnerabilityWe have reached episode 30!! Definitely worth a moment or two (or three) of gratitude and appreciation! Thanks for being with me each week along this journey. I know that it's not a given, so I appreciate it. Thank you!
This week's topic is one I think many of try to avoid: being vulnerable and our capacity for vulnerability. We avoid it, I avoid it. I can admit that, which made preparing and presenting this a bit more difficult. What can I say, I am (still) a work in progress and my willingness and ability to be more...2021-04-3017 min
Coaching The BibleAchrei Mot-Kedoshim: On Sanctity & HolinessSo this week we went on location! Our episode was recorded live from the local baseball field, and incredibly that fit right into our topic for the week.
This week: On Sanctity & Holiness
How do you mesh work life and spiritual life?
Where does sanctity and holiness fit into the work environment? Or perhaps it doesn't at all?
If you are the leader, is there a way to balance those different aspects of your life and somehow bring that into the office space and into your teams?
Initially, I...2021-04-2309 min
Coaching The BibleTazria Metzora: On Office GossipHave you ever heard the quote: 'The only thing to be doing behind someone's back is patting it'? Well, that idea was shared with me years ago in one of the office environments in which I had worked. Unfortunately, the person who shared it, didn't live by it, but the idea stuck with me and very much rings true to me.
What is it that we are or are not doing behind the backs of our teammates? Are we talking about them? gossiping? sharing personal details either true or worse, false?
What is the impact...2021-04-1617 min
Coaching The BibleShmini: On Owning MistakesWe ALL make mistakes. We do and it's ok.
The question is what do we do when that happens? What's our approach post-error?
Do we own it? admit it? blame others?
How can we learn to lead through our mistakes?
Well, Moses teaches us a powerful lesson in owning our mistakes and we will build on that idea with the help of some business leaders and well-known commentaries.
This week's episode: 'On Owning Mistakes'

Coaching The BibleSacrifices: On IntentionalityWelcome to Episode 25 of Coaching With The Bible!
Looking forward to Leviticus?
OF COURSE YOU ARE! WHO WOULDN'T BE?!?
We begin our journey with this book discussing a bit about animal sacrifices, but don't worry, we don't get into the nitty-gritty of the offerings themselves as we focus on the person making the 'sacrifice.'
So, let me ask a question to start us off: What are 'Intentional' about in your life?
Are there things you do, practices you have that you are truly 'zoomed in' on and others n...2021-03-1915 min
Coaching The BibleExodus: Upon ReflectionAs we did at the end of Genesis, I thought I'd share a short BONUS summary episode for Exodus as well entitled:
'Exodus: Upon Reflection II'
Exodus included 10 episodes, and twice we strayed beyond the weekly reading to be mindful of upcoming holidays.
As I mentioned in our prior 'Upon Reflection' episode, reflecting gives us an opportunity to take a moment to appreciate, give gratitude, grow, and learn again both from what we did and did not do well the first time through this b...2021-03-1706 min
Coaching The BibleThe New Moon: On Time ManagementWhat do we mean when we say 'I don't have time'?
What do we mean when we say 'Time is money'?
What exactly are we 'managing' when we speak of 'time management'? Is that even possible?
How often do we think about the time we have, the time we use and the time we waste?
On this week's episode, we begin to explore the depths and reach of time, through a basic understanding of the 1st commandment handed to the People of Israel: The New Moon.
Why is that...2021-03-1218 min
Coaching The BibleMoses: On Crisis LeadershipHow well do you handle a crisis?
Are you calm, cool, and collected, or are you a mess?
Are you a manager at that moment or a leader?
How are we to deal with crises in our world?
What do the actions and reactions of Moses, Aaron, and the people teach us about crisis moments and what can we incorporate from the experts on the subject?
How can we (too!) not let a good crisis go to waste?
This week's episode (slightly long!) takes on the story o...2021-03-0524 min
Coaching The BibleEsther: On Finding Your WhyThe Book of Esther teaches us many things and perhaps none as great as the lesson of finding your why and purpose in life. We'll take a look at a key moment in the story when Esther and Mordechai 'discuss' her going to the King to save her people and what that meant for her in the moment and in history.
How did that clarify Esther's 'why' and 'purpose' and how did Mordechai explain that to her in a way that clearly hit its mark?
That will take us to an important discussion on the c...2021-02-2816 min
Coaching The BibleTerumah: On Creating Sacred SpacesIn this week's episode of Coaching Through the Bible, we discuss the idea of creating 'sacred space' in our lives to maximize and optimize our productivity. Our discussion uses the biblical Tabernacle designed by God, constructed by Moses, and contributed to by the People of Israel.
We will bring in ideas from 'Deep Work' by Cal Newport, in particular the design of the Eudaimonia Machine, as well as some super interesting ideas from James Clear in his work 'Atomic Habits' on environmental design contributing to our inability to bring about remarkable results.
So, how do y...2021-02-1917 min
Coaching The BibleOn EmpathyEmpathy is one of the characteristics that we ALL need to work on. While some of us are more naturally empathic, others (including me) are not.
So, what is empathy? How does it differ from sympathy? What are the limits of it and how do we grow it?
Lastly, of course, how do we learn it from and see it in the bible?

Coaching The BibleJethro: On Giving AdviceIn this week's episode, we dive into the super-interesting interaction between Jethro and Moses and we ask ourselves: have we ever been either of these two in a situation of giving or receiving advice?
Jethro arrives, he watches, he listens and then he dispenses incredible insight as to running a better, more efficient and effective judicial system and...Moses listens!!! and completely!!!
Amazing! Jump in and join me and as a bonus get an update on how I did with the 'no-complaining challenge'...

Coaching The BibleThe People: On ComplainingThe Nation Doth Complaineth Too Much!
As the people of Israel leave Egypt and cross the sea, they become habitual complainers, or at least so it seems.
Why is that?
And why do we complain so much? Is it ever constructive or valuable or even helpful?
Can we change our habits? I hope so!2021-01-2915 min

Coaching The BibleMoses: On Expectations & Excuses
Why do we set the bar so low on our expectations of ourselves?
Why do we constantly make excuses for ourselves? Is that ever ok to do?
What does Moses have to teach us about these two issues and why does he mention again the idea that he cannot speak?
This week we go deep on expectations, excuses, impostors, and self-handicapping as we continue to Coach Through The Bible!

Coaching The BibleGenesis: Upon ReflectionSummarizing all that we learned during our 12 weeks inside the Book of Genesis.
Reflecting gives us a moment to appreciate, give gratitude, grow, and learn again both from what did and did not do well the first time through the book.
We covered key personalities and went 'deep' on the following topics:
Accountability
Growth vs Comfort
Passion
Leading Up
Loyalty
Grit
Gratitude
Self Confidence
Team Building
Listening
Perspective
Failure

Coaching The Bible12 Tribes: On Blessed FailureWhen Jacob comes to bless his children at the end of his life, he is quite tough on sons 1 through 3. In fact, it might be hard to even view what he tells them as blessings!
In truth, we learn deep lessons about honesty, integrity and perhaps most importantly, growing from failure from what it is Jacob says to Levi and then how the descendants of Levi play that out over time.

Coaching The Bible12 Tribes: On Team BuildingWe don't typically think of the 12 Tribes in terms of being a 'team', yet so much of the literature and research on team-building and its opposite (dysfunction) can be extracted from their story, and in particular the beginnings of the story of selling Joseph down to Egypt. 2020-12-1114 min

Learning about how God opens the space for Abraham to argue and learning about how Abraham steps into that space and leads up.
Generally, we think of leadership only as it funnels down the chain of command and that is understandable. However, it is vital for teams, companies, countries, and even for families that there is also leading up the chain. This is crucial for overall success and accomplishment but m...2020-11-0623 min

1942. With the Nazi Party at the height of its power, the occupying army empties Poland's towns and cities of their Jewish populations.
