In today's episode, the Wadsworth's Krieble Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture Erin Monroe returns to talk about material culture in the exhibition and why the inclusion of Dan Friday's glass piece, Aunt Fran's Basket, was so special. Then Friday joins host Drew Baron for an interview discussing his work, heritage, and the world of glass art. Friday has worked with some of the biggest names in the medium — Paul Marioni, Preston Singletary, and since 2000, he has worked at Dale Chihuly's renowned studio, The Boathouse.

What is Alignment?Alignment is a relationship to decisions. It's an approach to decisions that leads you to own decisions as if they were yours. Alignment is the most powerful relationship you can have to a decision. Alignment is a choice. It's also a commitment to have a decision work. If you're aligned, then you both own the decision like it's yours and you're committed to making the decision work. Also, alignment is not a one-time thing. It must be sustained over time. It's an ongoing commitment, an attitude, a state of mind. Why is Alignment, especially, Executive Team Alignment important?Rational reason – when a group or team is aligned, it can get more done, with less effort than similar teams that are not aligned. Emotional reason – when a group is aligned, drama and dysfunction are reduced, people are happier and more fulfilled, and dedication and engagement go way up.Tangible reason – organizations that are aligned are 300-400% more profitable than those that are not.How does an organization ensure Alignment?Teach everyone what alignment is and the benefit of alignment.Implement tools that support alignment, an effective and formal decision-making tools are a must, but there are others – see key tools below.Practice getting and staying aligned as you decide and implement at work.Reflect upon recent decisions and implementations with respect to alignment. Did we align? Did we stay aligned? How can we do it better next time?Keep this process evergreen. Talk about it all the time. Retrain. Reflect a lot.

You may not be surprised, with the level of gun violence in this country, that the US has one of the highest rates of school violence in the world. But violence against children is perpetrated in homes and in schools, in many forms, and in families and countries rich and poor. As the future of our society, either we prevent violence against children while they are young, or we will have to take care of the consequences as they get older. Whether they are your children or someone else's, children are the future of our society, making them everyone's responsibility to keep safe. This includes preventing them from witnessing violence, which also has very serious long-lasting effects. Violence against children is one of the biggest public health problems of our time, and there are dedicated people working to end it on a global scale. But what can we do to help? In this episode of the Making Public Health Personal podcast, we discuss evidence based strategies to prevent and end violence against children. Host Laura Meoli-Ferrigon speaks with today's guest Dr. Kathleen Cravero, Distinguished Lecturer in the Health Policy and Management Department here at CUNY SPH. Dr. Cravero is also the Co-Director of the Center for Immigrant, Refugee and Global Health. She spent 25 years working for the United Nations, including a key role at UNICEF, and dedicates her career to ending violence against women and children. Dr. Cravero will share findings from the CDC's Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys that were collected over 10 years in 24 countries. This includes who is most affected, where they live and how government officials can decide which of the seven evidence based implementations to reduce violence against children should be implemented. No matter what your sphere of influence is, this episode will provide resources to become part of the solution.

Who is the Little Guy?The Little Guy is a version of yourself that lives in your head.It's an inner voice that sows doubt, fear, and self-hatred. The little guy is a dark part of you that tears you down and pushes you to be petty and negative. It's an inner voice that we must all overcome if we seek to live happy, healthy lives.Why is overcoming the Little Guy important?Because the Little Guy robs leaders of valuable thinking time, resulting in less effective solutions, less inspirational interaction, and even less time leading.To lead well, leaders need the full capacity of their minds. They must have time to think, and those thoughts have to be very clear.Our brains are kind of like computers. We only have so much space available to process things. If we clog our brains up with the unproductive, maybe even counterproductive, thoughts of the Little Guy, we're reducing our capacity to TPL (Think, Plan, and Lead). To be the best leaders we can be, we must learn how to overcome the Little Guy, because it's destructive, distracting, and takes you off task.How do we contain the Little Guy?One - Acknowledge that the Little Guy occupies space in your head and commit to containing it.Two - Keep the Little Guy contained. At the time of big decisions and important interactions ask yourself, "am I containing the Little Guy?" Develop an internal leadership kata[1] tocontain the Little Guy. Optimize your Inner-Coach – the adversary of the Little Guy. Perform Hansei (self-reflection). Use the 3 Questions of the After-Action Review to do this. What was supposed to happen? What actually happened? What will I commit to do next time to improve the outcome? Approach everything with Shoshin – the Beginner's Mind.Three - Read the book, “The Wise Advocate the Inner Voice of strategic leadership”, by Art Kleiner, Jeffrey Schwartz, and Josie Thompson.Four - Develop a Life Purpose that is noble, a Life Vision, and a personal Code of Ethics.Five - Gain input, advice, and feedback from a mentor, or personal board of advisors.Six - Practice, practice, practice.Key ToolsWrite us at info@tplshow.org for a free guide on how to contain the Little Guy.“The Wise Advocate the Inner Voice of strategic leadership”, by Art Kleiner, Jeffrey Schwartz, and Josie Thompson.Full Show Notes & Transcript - https://www.dropbox.com/s/n7i7dldups0983l/Show%20Notes%20%26%20Transcript%20for%20Episode%2010%20-%20The%20Little%20Guy.pdf?dl=0 Episode Transcript[00:00] Luke: Everybody.

April is disability awareness month at CUNY and there are some great events planned that all CUNY students can participate in. Year-round, students with disabilities face added obstacles that make pursuing an education challenging. Disabilities can range from physical to mental, and often come with stigma that can be a barrier to seeking help. All college students, even graduate and doctoral students, are eligible for accommodations if they have medical documentation of their disability. They just have to know who at their school to reach out to for support. CUNY SPH students have the Office of Accessibility Services in their corner to help them succeed. In this episode of the Making Public Health Personal podcast, we speak with the Disability Coordinator for students here at SPH. Jeanette Rodriguez is a resident of the South Bronx and has worked in various roles at CUNY SPH since 2014. In addition to advocating for students with disabilities, she is also currently the Executive Assistant to the CUNY SPH Dean. Her passion is for helping others and encouraging her community to give back to those in need. Host Laura Meoli-Ferrigon speaks with Jeanette about the accommodations available to students with disabilities, and how they can obtain that support. We explore what exactly is considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and future plans for the office to increase participation, eliminate stigma, and bring more awareness to the topic of student accessibility.

Adapting to a new life across the country while pursuing a PhD, in the midst of a pandemic is not simple. In this episode of Making Public Health Personal, doctoral student at CUNY SPH, Ivonne Quiroz, MPH shares the story of her journey as a nontraditional student pursuing a public health education. Ivonne speaks with podcast host Laura Meoli-Ferrigon about her passion for food justice, race, culture, and health. She also opens up about how she personally navigates challenges with ADHD, a story that gives hope for other neurodivergent students, and/or students with disabilities to succeed. Ivonne Quiroz is from California and graduated with a Master's degree in Public Health from the University of California, Irvine. She also has a Bachelor's degree in Biology from San Francisco State University. Despite its physical distance from her former career as an Organizational Director for social organizations on the West Coast, New York City was the perfect place for her to pursue a doctoral degree in Community Health and Health Policy. Not only is NYC diverse, but the programs available at CUNY SPH were a perfect fit for Ivonne. While the pandemic's shift to fully online learning allowed her to balance her educational and career opportunities, the flexible classes regularly available at CUNY SPH allow Ivonne to thrive. While pursuing her PhD, she has gained experience as an adjunct teaching a course on Health Equity, Communication and Advocacy - a great resume builder for someone who wants to be a researcher in higher education. Ivonne also has found career opportunities through her connections with CUNY SPH professors, as a research assistant at the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute. Her personal mission as a latina and public health advocate is being realized now, and surely will continue post-graduation. For students interested in a similar path but not sure where to begin, we discuss the application process for a public health degree, the flexibility of CUNY SPH's programs, and the career-building opportunities available to current students. Ivonne's story gives hope for anyone who doesn't fit the mold of a traditional college student, but hopes to make a difference in the world.

After thirteen years of political persecution and wrongful imprisonment, four U.S. veterans reunited last Christmas with their loyal families after receiving Presidential pardons that some described as “an affront to justice.”In their first joint interview on The Shawn Ryan Show, the four men of Blackwater USA's Raven 23 Tactical Support Team sit down with Shawn Ryan to discuss the most controversial gunfight of the entire Iraq War, the complete system failure of the U.S. government, a corrupt court system, and incompetent journalists that demonized them as war criminals and convicted them before standing trial, despite their innocence. In an extensive interview, Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty, Nick Slatten and Paul Slough discuss their ordeal as well as their experience in battle, their time in prison, their faith, and reuniting with their families.Special appearances from Gina Keating and Eddie Gallagher Donate to these men HERE:https://pipehitterfoundation.orgProof of Evidence/Documents/Emails/Cableshttps://static.bashcrash.io/2013.03.12%20Letter%20from%20McCool%20to%20AUSAs.pdfhttps://static.bashcrash.io/2019.08.14%20-%20Transcript%20of%20Sentencing.pdfhttps://static.bashcrash.io/Ex%20H.pdfhttps://static.bashcrash.io/Haithem%20email.jpeghttps://static.bashcrash.io/IMG_0473003.jpeghttps://static.bashcrash.io/IMG_0474.jpeghttps://static.bashcrash.io/IMG_0475.jpeghttps://static.bashcrash.io/IMG_0477.jpeghttps://static.bashcrash.io/JessicaNewspaper.jpeghttps://static.bashcrash.io/Raven%2023%20cables-Clinton%20email.pdfhttps://static.bashcrash.io/123_1.jpeghttps://www.supportraven23.comRaven 23 Presumption of Guilt Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raven-23-presumption-of-guilt/id1468783839#VIGILANCEELITE #SHAWNRYANSHOWVigilance Elite/Shawn Ryan Links:Website     - https://www.vigilanceelite.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/shawnryan762                         - https://www.instagram.com/vigilanceelite                         - https://www.instagram.com/shawnryanshowSupport the show (http://www.venmo.com/VigilanceElite)
