If your value chain breaks it can disrupt your business big time. Value chains are the processes you have in place to deliver your products and services to your clients. This break might be caused by an employee failing to do their job properly because they didn't have the appropriate training. And that’s totally fixable.

The right training process sets employees up for success and helps them become peak performers. Showing them the ropes is more than just telling them not to break the rules; you’re actually showing them what to do. No more guessing.

This episode is the second in Kelly's "Business Trinity" series (Culture, Training, Hiring). Kelly discusses why the right training keeps your business moving down the path to success. It doesn’t matter if there are only two of you in the organization... training is absolutely critical to your success!

In this episode you'll learn the 4 Key Elements to an effective training process (what training IS and IS NOT) . . . When you get your training right, as a business owner you'll gain freedom to operate and work on your business in the most productive and profitable way possible.

Today I’m giving you a unique look into what goes on in the inner workings of our law firm. You get to eavesdrop on senior attorney Kelly Bennett...yours truly... mentoring associate attorney Rachael Bennett a few years ago, on a sticky situation.
What happens when you’re going through a divorce, but still living under the same roof? Well if there are kids involved, it can be problematic, especially when something so simple could mean the difference between calm and stormy waters.

Is a great work culture all about perks and goodies? Free lunches, nap rooms, and onsite chefs? Nope. Studies show that perks don’t result in a better work culture, and they don’t create peak performers.

If you’ve got too much drama and negativity in your workplace...you're not alone.

In this episode, Kelly shows you what works and what doesn’t when it comes to creating a happier and more productive work team. This is part one in the three-part Business Trinity series (Culture, Training, Hiring). If you’re not sure how to build an amazing culture in your business, this episode gives you answers.
Here's the Implementation assignment Kelly gave you in this episode:

"Culture is not values or mission statements; those are ideals, not disciplines. Culture is how we treat each other, how we talk to each other, whether or not we trust each other, and how we handle conflict. Culture is about accountability, measuring, a bias for urgency, a focus on solutions, calling it tight - saying what needs to be said - being kind and generous, acknowledging one another, and expressing appreciation." ~ from The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham

• What does the culture in your business look like today?
• How are you treating each other?
• How is conflict being handled?
• How is accountability being handled?
• What are you tolerating?
• Define where you are on a scale of one to 10 on adding value to your clients and your customers.
• Are you at a 10, giving massive, massive value? Or are you at a two?

What you want your company culture to look like? Answer:

• How will we treat each other?
• How will we handle conflict?
• What do you need to get courageous about not tolerating?

Decide on one to two things that need to go right away so you can develop the quality culture that you deserve in your business.

Divorce can feel overwhelming—even when faith is a big part of your life. Many people turn to their church for guidance, but what if you don’t feel comfortable talking to your pastor? What if the advice you’re given doesn’t match up with what you know is best for you and your family? What is there is abuse?

In this episode, Kelly Bennett, Esq., continues her conversation with Denny Brewer—a longtime family law attorney, Executive Pastor, and General Counsel at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. They explore what faith communities often get wrong—and right—when it comes to divorce (hint: especially if there is abuse involved), how to navigate faith-based guilt, what to do if your place of worship isn’t the right fit for support, and why mediation can be the best choice for handling divorce for privacy and mental (and financial!) well-being reasons.

Kelly and Denny chat about:

Why many people feel uncomfortable discussing divorce with their faith leaders

• Why pastors and religious leaders should ask, “Is there abuse?”
• How abuse can go unmentioned and lead to tragedy
• When to seek professional guidance outside of your faith community
• Why mediation is often a better option than going to court
• Why there is no better time to embrace faith and lean into prayer than during divorce
• Plus, a couple of very surprising stories...

Dennis Brewer is longtime family law attorney, and executive pastor and general counsel at Texas mega Church Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. He is the co-author of the new book, Back to Court: A Complete Guide to Child Custody Litigation.

Note: This episode touches on abuse and real-life incidents with unfortunate endings. If these subjects are difficult for you, please listen with care.

Hey friends, divorce can shake your faith to the core, right? Whether you’re struggling with guilt, a fear of being judged by your faith community, or questioning what your beliefs say about divorce, you’re not alone.

What if the very thing you’re afraid of could actually be a source of healing and strength?
In this episode, Kelly Bennett, Esq., chats with Denny Brewer, Board Certified Family Law Specialist, about the impact of divorce on faith. They break down common struggles—like shame, isolation, and judgment—and give real-life insights on getting through divorce while staying true to your beliefs.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:

• The “Shame Factor” in Divorce – Why people feel judged and isolated during divorce—and how to break free from that mindset.
• Faith’s Role in Divorce – How some churches/places of worship get it wrong by ostracizing divorced members—and how others actually provide support and healing.
• Are You Stuck in Victim Mode? – How to recognize if you’re wallowing in self-pity or using your faith to find strength and purpose.
• The Power of Forgiveness – What true forgiveness really means (and why it’s actually for you, not your ex).
• The Right “They” – Why surrounding yourself with the right people during and after divorce is critical to healing and rebuilding your life.
• Faith-Based Therapy & Divorce Recovery – Why religious counseling alone may not be enough and how faith-based therapy can help you move forward.
• Making Your Misery Your Ministry – How your greatest struggle can become your greatest source of strength in helping others.

Whether you’re the one filing or the one who never wanted the divorce, this chat will help you find strength, clarity, and a way forward.
