Podcast appearances and mentions of Allison Green

Over the summer, The Imprint Weekly Podcast will feature episodes with subject matter experts to talk about several new rules and regulations issued by the Biden administration in the past year. On this week's episode, Allison Green of the National Association of Counsel for Children joins us to break down the new rule on federal funding to support legal counsel for parents and children involved with the child welfare system. We talk about how this new rule goes beyond some changes made during the Trump administration on this issue, and what Green sees as the potential impact on child welfare outcomes. Reading RoomFoster Care Legal Representationhttps://bit.ly/45XoosFWhite House Announces Slate of Actions on Child Welfarehttps://bit.ly/3ZFa7hlMost States Now Access Federal Funds for Family Court Lawyershttps://bit.ly/3VV2rWLTrump Administration Rule Change Could Unleash Hundreds of Millions in Federal Funds to Defend Rights of Parents, Children in Child Protection Caseshttps://bit.ly/3LGHMRTNACC Explainer on "Foster Care Legal Representation"https://bit.ly/3XWwJLo

Travelers on Alabama's roadways can expect higher traffic volumes as the holiday season begins. For the safety of the traveling public, construction industry workers and maintenance crews, the Alabama Department of Transportation will have no temporary lane closures on interstates after noon Wednesday, Nov. 23 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 27. Throughout the year, ALDOT limits road construction during major holidays. Emergency lane closures may be possible, depending on specific circumstances on interstates and other state roadways. “Thanksgiving is typically the most traveled holiday of the year,” said Allison Green, Drive Safe Alabama coordinator for ALDOT. “Halting road work...Article Link

Lancer une entreprise vient souvent d'un problème qu'on vit ou qu'un de nos proches vit dans sa réalité quotidienne. On encercle l'enjeu et par la suite on tente d'y amener des solutions et si la solution est assez bonne on risque d'en faire une entreprise viable. Mon invité du jour, Allison Green, présidente et fondatrice de l'organisation Bien Chez soi ne fait pas exception à la règle. Alors qu'à l'époque son grand père devait se rendre en CHSLD, Allison a refusé en croyant clairement qu'il pouvait y avoir une meilleure option pour ses grands parents, et pour tout autre personne âgée d'ailleurs. C'est ainsi qu'en 2008, son organisation est née. 14 ans plus tard, elle possède 40 franchises à travers la province et a même lancée une nouvelle organisation, "Les maison adaptées", un concept qui provient aussi d'un problème qu'elle a vu sans son marché. J'espère que comme moi, vous prendrez du plaisir à écouter l'histoire fascinante provenant du 160e épisode du podcast. Sans plus attendre, ma discussion avec Allison Green.

Since 2016, Allison Green has hitchhiked through the Balkans, rode camels through the Sahara, boarded down an active volcano, slept atop other volcanoes, gone scuba diving on 3 continents, climbed the highest mountain in Montenegro, gone dogsledding in the Arctic, seen the Northern lights in Sweden, rode a train through Switzerland and gawked at the Matterhorn, swam with sharks in Belize, caved in Guatemala, canyoned in Nicaragua, helicoptered over the Grand Canyon, and hot air ballooned in Cappadocia.

If not for the coronavirus pandemic, St. Cloud State women's hockey coach Steve Macdonald would likely be preparing his team for its third regular season series of the season. Alas, the season has not started yet for women's hockey, but as Macdonald notes, we are getting closer to the season-opener. Macdonald also talks about the recruiting challenges that the pandemic has created, what it's like to coach a team that has players from five countries (Finland, Czech Republic, Canada, Germany, USA) and six states (Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Alaska, North Dakota and Indiana), talks about his top two returning scorers (Klara Hymladrova and Oliva Cvar), eight newcomers (goalie Sanni Ahola, forwards Addi Scribner, Mackenzie Bourgerie, Linnea Melotindos, Emma Gentry, Allison Green and Nicole Ness and defensemen Adela Skrdlova) and more with The Rink Live's Mick Hatten.

Han and Matt tackle questions from some of their favorite advice sources from the week of October 14th, 2018, and beyond, including: Dear Abby: "Make Life Easy" (AKA The One In Which Abby Advocates White-Washing Your Future Offspring's Names) The Twitter thread that kicked off this conversation Vogue: "Actually, 'Dear Abby,' I Like My 'Foreign Name' Just Fine, Thanks" NY Times: "No 'Foreign' Names for Children, Dear Abby Advised. Furious Parents Replied." Huffington Post: "Dear Abby, Here's What It's Really Like To Have A 'Foreign' Name In America" Ask Amy: "Moms say teen girls are 'asking for it'" Ask a Manager: "how do I tell an interviewer about my hobbies when my hobbies are kind of boring?" Carolyn Hax: "Hanging the No Boys Allowed sign at a public playground" Dear Wendy: "I Got Drunk and Made Vulgar Remarks About a Coworker and Now I'm Afraid to Go Back to Work" Dear Mariella: "My boyfriend lost his virginity to a sex worker then lied about it" BONUS KNOWLEDGE: Numerous studies and analyses, though lacking in reliable population-level data due to the necessary underground nature of the work in the US, actually do put the rates of STIs anywhere between "5 to 60 times higher among sex workers [in the US] than in general populations." Meanwhile, where sex work is legal and sex workers are required to be screened for STIs quarterly, the rate of STIs is overall lower for Australian sex workers than the general population.

When you think of an isolated, walled-off country, your mind might immediately go to North Korea. But during the Communist era, Albania may have actually been even more secluded, despite the fact it shared a border with Greece. On today's episode, my guest is Allison Green, author of the Eternal Arrival blog, part of the Condé Nast Traveler blog network. We talk about what life was like in Albania after its independence from the Ottoman Empire, how the country became a pawn between Hitler and Mussolini, and how its tyrannical dictator walled it off from the outside world. Sound familiar? A modern history of occupation As Allison tells me in this episode, toward the end of the 20th century, Albanians began to develop a sense of nationalism, writers and artists began to foster an Albanian consciousness while the Ottoman Empire began to decline. And in 1912, rebels stage a series of revolts, leading to a declaration of independence from the empire in September of that year. But as soon as they create an independent state, Albania isn't sure what form of government they want. The government goes back and forth from a monarchy to a republic, until the start of World War I when Mussolini marches his troops into Albania and occupies it, setting up the Fascist Party of Albania. And then Germany came in as well, and in 1943, pushed Italy out. Who are Albanians? The most Googled question about Albania, according to Allison, is “Where is Albania?” And hand-in-hand with that, is the question “Who are Albanians?” And while many Eastern European countries hung onto their religious institutions throughout various occupations, Albanians assumed the Islam of the Ottoman Empire. But it's lived much differently than what many Westerners may think of when they picture Muslim countries. Interfaith marriages are common, pork is plentiful, and there is very little religious conflict within the country (until Communism took over). And what's interesting is that the Albanian language is not related to other tongues in the area. It's idiosyncratic and difficult to learn, and as Allison says, when she ordered two beers at a restaurant in Albanian, the waiter nearly fell over he was so surprised. The rise of communism Once the Soviets free Albania and the Communist Party takes over, Enver Halil Hoxha takes over as head of state in 1944, a position he would hold until his death in 195. Indebted to Stalinism, Hoxha begins purging the country of elites and intellectuals, and liquidates personal wealth and transferring it to the state. Thousands of people were expelled or thrown into gulags. But as soon as Stalin dies and Kruschev takes over, Albania's relationship with the Soviet Union begins to fray. And surprisingly, Albania forges a partnership with another Communist giant, China. Unfortunately, as Albania bunkered down in its Communism, it became walled off and had very little access to the outside world. And then, when Mao dies in China, Hoxha severed that relationship, and the country's last link to the outside world. Post-communism, why you should visit and leave Liam Neeson at home The reign of Hoxha was brutal for Albania, and also not without its quirks. He was so paranoid, he built hundreds of thousands of concrete bunkers, in preparation for what he thought was the country's imminent invasion. But by 1990, revolution had come to Albania, and the Communist regime was toppled. That meant Albanians could once again travel abroad, and its borders were open to the world. There may not be too many diamonds in the rough in world travel these days, but Albania is a country full of mystery and beauty that you should try to see. And there's no better guide to provide travel tips in Albania than Allison. (One pro tip: Don't mention Liam Neeson or Taken).

John Sellars is our special guest, describing something crazy from our city's past that he lived through--the great cobra scare of Springfield, MO, which happened during the blistering summer of 1953. The back story actually took 40 years to come to light, and there is nobody better than Sellars, the head of the Springfield History Museum, to shed some light on this memorable tale. The story is reported by Allison Green.

The traditional hiring process is broken and everyone knows it--both job seekers and hiring managers. The over-automated, keyword-driven, impersonal way most organizations hire is a relic of software systems built 40+ years ago. As such, playing by the rules is more likely to land you a stress headache than a job offer. This week's guest, Liz Ryan, offers a ray of hope, with strategies and techniques that will help you rise above the rest when reaching out to employers. She encourages job seekers to break the rules of the system. Instead, she urges people to proactively reach out to the organizations where they most want to work--and where they can create the most value. In practice, this means: Ignore the formal hiring process. Decide where you want to work, and have an idea of how they can help the company. Use LinkedIn’s advanced search to find the person who would be your boss if they were to get the job they wanted. Send a pain letter to that person at their place of employment. A pain letter is a letter that focuses on your contact's specific challenges and highlights how you can help with these problems. The first sentence should be the hook to pique the person’s interest. Include a story which highlights the pain or problem the manager may be experiencing, and end the letter with a soft and respectful, “I’d be happy to start a phone or email conversation with you.” This Week's Guest: Liz Ryan Liz Ryan is the founder and CEO of Human Workplace, a think tank and publishing firm whose mission is to reinvent work for people. Liz is the author of Reinvention Roadmap: Break the Rules to Get the Job You Want and the Career You Want. She writes for Forbes.com, LinkedIn, and other publications. Liz is a highly sought-after keynote speaker who has hired over 10,000 people. Liz’s work in 2017 includes empowering workers and reinventing corporate work environments in an effort to move them away from a mechanical mode and back into a human mode. Resource of the Week Ben’s resource this week is a blog post from Allison Green titled, Gimmicks Won’t Get You a Job. Allison has an entire page of zany and outlandish things people have done to try and land a job. Favorites include a spouse who advertised her job-hunting spouse on a billboard and a person who sent a framed picture of themselves to a hiring manager. Listener Question of the Week Jessica, Ben, and Mac offer advice to Nicole Wilson, who wants to know guidelines for using unlimited paid-time-off (PTO) offered by some employers. If you would like the team to answer a job-related question or if you’ve found a job resource you think everyone should know about email it to ben@macslist.org or call at 716-JOB-TALK.

We all want to be social justice warriors, but most of us can’t punch a tank. Allison Green can, but she’s retired. And actually, she’s not sure if tank-punching is even all that useful. This week we’re talking STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST, an ongoing webcomic by Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag. In the first two chapters, we see Allison struggle with the idea of normalcy in a post-cape existence. Like most twentysomethings, she wonders about her place in the world, her purpose, and how to make the world better (without so much tank-punching).

Employers may use phone interviews to save time, get a sense of an applicant’s personality and test their skill level. This phone screening saves an employer time allowing them to weed out those who may not have essential skills needed for the open position. Job applicants do not always know when a hiring manager or recruiter will be calling to conduct an interview. If you are caught unprepared or your situation is not ideal to respond to their questions,  it is perfectly acceptable to ask the interviewer to reschedule the call. But, be sure to ask for their number, so the follow-up task belongs to you — not the interviewer. Guest expert, Hannah Morgan says it is a good idea to do your homework and research the company and job posting thoroughly before the phone interview. She says it is best to prepare yourself with stories and examples of times you succeeded in completing similar tasks required for the job and focus on the positive outcomes. Use the company’s website to find out about its mission statement and who its customers are. The more you know the more relaxed you will be during the interview. Background research also helps you to prepare a list of questions to help you gain insights about your possible future employer. Pro Tip: Your questions should be different if you are speaking with a manager in the division you wish to work in than if you are speaking with a person in Human Resources. Non-verbal body language is important during a phone interview. Try these tried and true techniques: Stand up or walk around during the interview. This opens up your diaphragm and projects your voice. Smile while speaking. It enhances your voice. Don’t talk over the interviewer. Take a moment before answering questions to ensure you don’t interrupt. Dress in business attire. Studies show people feel more confident when they are dressed up. Always end the conversation with questions about possible timeframes for filling the opening, when you should expect to hear back from the employer and  anything else you don’t want to be left wondering about. Hannah says some job seekers will even end with a trial close. The question “Can you think of any reason why you wouldn’t move me forward in the process?” allows applicants to clarify any possible misunderstandings and to overcome objections. Show courtesy and always send a thank you note!
