We are joined for the hour by two Americans who moved to Canada during two different periods of political change -- Ken Greenberg arrived in Toronto in the late 1960s as a Vietnam War draft resistor and Anne Sullivan, who arrived in late 2024 to teach at York University. We also hear calls from Americans about their choice to leave the United States and any regret they have about that decision.

Send us a text2 Tessalonisense 3:3 Maar die Here is getrou! Hy sal julle sterk maak en van die Bose bewaar. (NLV) Dit is maklik om so baie dinge as vanselfsprekend te aanvaar. Neem byvoorbeeld jou vyf sintuie – reuk, smaak, sig, tas en gehoor. Stel jou voor as jy een daarvan verloor het. Of beter nog: stel jou voor dat jy twee daarvan verloor het - kom ons sê: sig en gehoor. Ewe skielik is jy blind en doof. Hoe sal jou lewe dan wees?Helen Keller is op 27 Junie 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, gebore. Op 19 maande het sy 'n siekte opgedoen wat haar doof en blind gelaat het. Maar met die hulp van haar toegewyde onderwyser, Anne Sullivan, het Helen geleer om met gebaretaal te kommunikeer en later ook om te lees en te skryf.Sy het in 1904 aan die Radcliffe College gegradueer en die eerste gesig- en gehoorgestremde persoon geword wat 'n BA-graad verwerf het. Hierna het Helen 'n bekende skrywer en dosent geword. Sy was ook ‘n aktivis vir mense met gestremdhede, vroue se stemreg en werkersregte.Wonderlik, nè? Maar sonder Anne Sullivan, sonder haar toewyding aan Helen, haar opofferings, haar getrouheid … sou niks daarvan ooit moontlik gewees het nie. Jy sien nie deesdae baie dikwels sulke onbaatsugtige optrede nie, sien jy?2 Tessalonisense 3:3 Maar die Here is getrou! Hy sal julle sterk maak en van die Bose bewaar. (NLV)Nouja, as ons dink dat Anne Sullivan se onselfsugtige diens ongelooflik was, is God se getrouheid baie groter as enigiets wat enige mens ooit vir jou kán, of sál doen. Hy het dit bewys, toe Hy aan die kruis gesterf het; toe Hy sy lewe vir jou gegee het.Hy is lief vir jou. Hy het die pad vir jou voorberei. Hy is elke tree van die pad met jou.Omdat God getrou is, sal Hy julle geloof versterk en julle ook teen die Bose se aanvalle beskerm.Dis Sy Woord. Vars … vir jou … vandag.

In this episode of the Friends for Life Podcast, we dive into the remarkable life of Helen Keller, a woman who defied all odds to become one of the most influential advocates for people with disabilities. Born in 1880, Keller lost her sight and hearing as a toddler, but with the guidance of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she broke through the barriers of communication and became the first deaf-blind person to earn a college degree. Her journey didn't stop there—Keller dedicated her life to fighting for disability rights, women's rights, and social justice on a global scale. Join us as we explore her incredible story of perseverance, advocacy, and the lasting impact she left on the world.
Dive back into 1980s children's biographies as podcasting siblings Bambi and Jamie Chambers explore The Value of Determination: The Story of Helen Keller. Bambi reads us the tale of an adorable baby named Helen who becomes a "nasty" little girl after being stricken blind and deaf by a fever. (Hey, it's their word not ours!) But with the help of a trio of imaginary leprechauns and a small assist from Anne Sullivan our heroine is able to overcome her disabilities and learn to communicate and somehow become a vaudeville performer. It's all about DETERMINATION in this kids' book that completely ignores Keller's political activism as a pacifist, feminist, and open socialist.Support the show and stay tuned with us on social media and discover more on our website: http://www.chainsawhistory.com

In this edition, we learn about the woman who was named one of the most important people of the 20th Century. Helen Keller was an American author, disability rights advocate, feminist, political activist and humanitarian. The Alabama native, lost her sight and her hearing due to illness when she was just 19 months old. However, Keller later learned to speak and write with the help of her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. Keller was the first deaf-blind person in the United States to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She became a global superstar, and a long time supporter of the NAACP and the ACLU. We will hear Helen Keller in her own words on the CBS Radio Show, This I Believe with Edward R. Murrow in the early 1950s. And on the Rudy Vallee variety show on NBC Radio in 1936.

English Language Teachers (ELT): Under The Covers - Interview Series
How to be a teacher everyone remembers? You teach like Anne Sullivan! Anne Sullivan was an American teacher, best known for being the instructor and lifelong companion of Helen Keller, a blind and deaf student. Sullivan was born in 1866 and became blind at an early age due to an eye infection. She attended the Perkins School for the Blind and later graduated from the Cambridge School for Young Ladies. In 1887, she was chosen to be Helen Keller's instructor, and she began working with Keller when the latter was six years old. Anne Sullivan used the "manual alphabet" to teach Helen Keller how to communicate, and she helped her student to learn to read and write using Braille. Sullivan also taught Keller how to speak using the "oral method" which is based on the idea that the child must be taught to associate the sound and the movement of the lips with a particular word. Sullivan's method was based on the principles of the "oral method" and the "manual alphabet" which are used to teach the deaf and the blind. Anne Sullivan's work with Helen Keller was highly successful and it had a significant impact on the field of special education. Keller went on to become a well-known author, speaker, and advocate for people with disabilities. Sullivan remained Keller's companion and teacher throughout her life and passed away in 1936. We award Anne Sullivan with the best teacher prize of being a 'Master Teacher' for the inspiration and motivation she brought to educating. #AnneSullivanTeachings #AnneSullivanTeachingPhilosophy #LifelongLearning In the ELT (Education* Learning*Teaching): Under The Covers - teaching masters series, we take a look at notable educators who have influenced us and education in general.

Acomi enlightens Turk182 on a absurdity that went viral on TikTok. People on TikTok are saying that Helen Keller wasn't a real person. While some doubt the authenticity of her claims, such as flying a plain and writing a book, others cast doubt over whether she existed at all. Helen Keller was a deaf, mute, and blind woman born in 1880, that was taught to read and communicate by teacher Anne Sullivan. Her story was made famous by the movie The Miracle Worker, based on the play, that was based on her autobiography. While some of her accomplishments may cause doubt as to their validity, what's being denied is the easiest thing to prove. If she existed at all. Acomi and Turk, in their own form of disbelief, talk about how disgustingly stupid this denial trend is, while questioning parts of Helen Keller's life. #OMTWF #Acomi #Turk182 #KorovaEntertainment #socialmedia #rumors #HelenKeller #morons #TikTok #AnneSullivan Follow Acomi on Twitter at @AcomiDraws and on Instagram at AcomiDraws.

Závěrečný díl naší série se zaměřuje na definici toho, kdo je dobrý učitel, a přináší příběhy šesti významných pedagogů, kteří svými metodami a přístupem změnili svět vzdělávání. Jaime Escalante, který odmítl snížit nároky na výuku matematiky na nízkoúrovňové střední škole v Los Angeles, ukázal, že i ti nejméně privilegovaní studenti mohou dosáhnout úspěchu, pokud jsou správně vedeni a motivováni. Anne Sullivan, učitelka hluchoslepé Helen Keller, dokázala naučit svou žákyni komunikovat a tím otevřít dveře k vyššímu vzdělání, což bylo tehdy považováno za nemožné. Palestinská učitelka Hanan Al Hroub získala Global Teacher Prize za svou práci s dětmi traumatizovanými násilím a prosazování vzdělání jako cesty k míru. Booker T. Washington, zastánce vzdělání pro černošské obyvatelstvo po emancipaci, byl prvním vedoucím Tuskegee University a podílel se na budování vzdělávací infrastruktury na jihu USA. Kakenya Ntaiya, která podstoupila ženskou obřízku výměnou za možnost vzdělání, nyní vede školu v Keni, která bojuje proti této praxi a podporuje vzdělání dívek. Přestože každý z těchto pedagogů měl unikátní přístup a čelil různým výzvám, spojuje je víra v sílu vzdělání a odhodlání překonat překážky. Dnes je populární Montessori metoda, která vznikla jako nástroj pro integraci sociálně a jinak znevýhodněných dětí, ale její aplikace se změnila v elitní vzdělávací program pro bohaté rodiny. Metoda podporuje individuální potřeby dítěte, samostatnost a nezávislost, senzorické a praktické učení a respekt k přirozenému vývoji dítěte. Přestože Montessori metoda neklade přímý důraz na technické vzdělání, ukazuje, že kvalitní vzdělání může otevřít dveře a dát prostor talentu, což potvrzují úspěchy jejích absolventů, jako jsou zakladatelé Googlu nebo Amazonu. Tímto dílem uzavíráme naši sérii o tom, jak vzdělání a učitelé mohou měnit životy a budoucnost. Poslechněte si ostatní Wolfcasty, historický přehled naleznete na retronation.cz.
The remarkable life of Helen Keller, a figure whose story has inspired generations and sparked debates. Born in 1880, Helen Keller faced a daunting start to life when, at just 19 months old, an illness left her both blind and deaf. Despite these immense challenges, Keller's journey from isolation to becoming an acclaimed author, activist, and lecturer is nothing short of extraordinary. Helen's breakthrough came when her dedicated teacher, Anne Sullivan, entered her life. Through Sullivan's innovative teaching methods, Helen learned to communicate using the manual alphabet, which opened the doors to a world of knowledge. Her story of learning to spell words into her hand, most famously "water" at the age of seven, remains one of the most inspirational moments in educational history. Keller's thirst for knowledge led her to Radcliffe College, where she graduated with honors in 1904, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her achievements in education set a precedent, demonstrating that disability is not a barrier to intellectual pursuits. Helen went on to write 12 published books and numerous articles, addressing issues from disability rights to social justice. As an activist, Keller's influence extended far beyond her literary contributions. She was a prominent advocate for people with disabilities, working with organizations like the American Foundation for the Blind. Her political activism also included support for women's suffrage, labor rights, and socialism. Helen's speeches and writings continue to resonate, emphasizing the importance of equality and human rights. Despite her celebrated accomplishments, Helen Keller's life has not been without controversy. Skeptics have questioned the authenticity of her abilities and achievements, suggesting that her extraordinary accomplishments were exaggerated or even fabricated by those around her. Some claim that Anne Sullivan and later handlers might have orchestrated Helen's successes, casting a shadow of doubt over her story. In this episode, we explore these mysteries and examine the evidence behind such claims. We scrutinize the accounts of her contemporaries, the consistency of her abilities, and the motivations behind any potential embellishments. Our discussion aims to distinguish between the legend of Helen Keller and the factual accounts of her life. Join us as we navigate through the inspiring journey of Helen Keller, from her early struggles and triumphs to her lasting legacy and the debates that challenge her narrative. Whether you view her as an unparalleled icon of perseverance or question the veracity of her story, Helen Keller's life remains a compelling testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

"Love is sweet, have a treat." This was the verse written on the wedding favours, pairs of homemade shortbread cookies by all our plates at a recent wedding we attended in the family and our third host, Barry, he made it into the photos and is back with us, for another mixed bag show, to share about the experience. A wedding day or living with a disability, so many things in life are about learning to roll with it. We three share on Outlook this week about being blind in such a crowded, hectic social situation and how we already have some authority, being unable to see, when an unexpected part of the evening was when the power went out and all the guests were forced to find their way in the toilets in the dark. We also discuss the tiresome infantilization of us by uneducated sighted people, including those running carnival rides, as Barry and Kerry once more discovered at a May 24 traveling amusement park when they were forbidden from going on a ride together on their own as a couple. When do you speak up and advocate and when do you let it slide? And in our second half, we revisit the early years of the life of Helen Keller along with Barry who knew very little about Keller's life. Brian and Kerry rewatched the 1962 film version of the meeting of Helen and her teacher and companion Anne Sullivan, while Barry experienced the story for the first time. We and he give our thoughts on the title "The Miracle Worker" and its problematic connotations, about how films based on true events sometimes embellish and alter their true life timelines, and Barry gives his take as an Irishman on how well Anne Bancroft did with the accent her character would have had. If you're like Barry and never really knew much about Helen Keller or her teacher, or even for a reminder of the lives the two lived beyond that one big, important year on which the movie was made, check out the Outlook episode we once put out on the full life of Helen Keller and stay tuned for a similar show on a fuller picture of Anne Sullivan's life story still to come. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/outlook-2021-12-13-lights-camera-helen-keller/id1527876739?i=1000545091341
La vida de Helen Keller (1880-1968) es una historia de superación. Una enfermedad le hizo perder la visión y el oído con apenas siete años.

Nueva entrega de #Cartagrafías con Laura Piñero que reconstruye la biografía de la joven sordociega norteamericana Helen Keller que se hizo mundialmente famosa por la película “El milagro de Anne Sullivan”. Aquella película solo muestra una parcela de su vida. Helen fue mucho más que un ejemplo de superación, se convirtió en la primera persona sordociega en lograr una licenciatura universitaria, también destacó como escritora, oradora y activista, con todos los riesgos que esto implicaba. Por eso, a pocas semanas de su cumpleaños, Laura reconstruimos su biografía a través de su correspondencia. El punto de partida es una obra de teatro accesible que se estrenó en abril en el teatro Valle-Inclán de Madrid y ahora está de gira por España: “Helen Keller, ¿la mujer maravilla?”, que profundiza en su figura y como no, la correspondencia ha sido fundamental en el proceso de documentación.
One of the most inspiring Americans of the 20th century visited Fargo on this date in 1914. Helen Keller, who was left blind and deaf from sickness as a small child, spoke at First Methodist Church with her teacher and longtime companion, Anne Sullivan. They were lifelong friends.

Tonight, we'll read an excerpt from “The Story of My Life” written by Helen Keller and published in 1903. The book details her early life, and especially her education. Helen Keller was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was still a baby. She had limited communicative capability as a little girl. Her mother became inspired after reading a travelogue from Charles Dickens that described a similar girl being educated. This led the family on a quest to find such education for their daughter. Finally, at the age of seven, Helen met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. Sullivan taught Keller language, including reading and writing. Keller later became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1920, Helen Keller helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union. She traveled to over 40 countries with Sullivan, making several trips to Japan and becoming a favorite of the Japanese people. Keller met every U.S. president of her time, and was friends with many famous figures, including Alexander Graham Bell, Charlie Chaplin and Mark Twain. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

THE TOP SIX EPISODES OF 2023 It has been an amazing year at Podcast Talent Coach. On this episode, I want to share with you the best of 2023. These are the top six most downloaded episodes of 2023. DECREASED DOWNLOADS Have you seen a decrease in your downloads in the fourth quarter of 2023? It is probably due to a change with Apple Podcasts. Apple released iOS 17 in September of 2023. That update came with a change to Apple Podcasts and how episodes are downloaded. According to Apple, automatic downloads are paused when a device is out of available storage or when a listener hasn't played a show they follow. If a listener hasn't played one of the latest five episodes for more than 15 days, downloads are paused. Apple says pausing downloads is to preserve device storage. This change is communicated to listeners with a pause indicator on the follow icon located at the top right of the show page. If a listener resumes playing that show, or changes the download preferences for that show, Apple Podcasts will resume automatically downloading episodes. The big difference for your podcast is how previously unplayed episodes are handled with the listener resumes playing the show. Before iOS 17, when a listener would unpause automatic downloads, the system would automatically download all unplayed episodes. Your podcast would then get credited with those downloads. With iOS 17, Apple Podcasts will not download previous episodes and will only resume automatically downloading new episodes. BRING THEM BACK This change is why is it so critical to keep listeners coming back week after week, episode after episode. It isn't enough to simply get people to subscribe to your show. You need to get them to actually listen consistently. At the end of each episode, creatively tease your next episode. Create some intrigue and anticipation for the next show. Bring them back. When you publish your new episode, tell your tribe about it. Share it on social media. Send an e-mail to your list and invite them to listen. It is important that you tease here as well and not simply promote. Promoting next week is info only. When I say, "Next week we'll talk with Dan Miller", that's promoting. It does very little to create any anticipation for the episode. To creatively tease the episode, I need to create some intrigue. I might say, "Next week, Dan Miller joins us and will show you how to build a business with no money required." A powerful tease opens the loop and gives listeners something to get excited about. However, it shouldn't be something you can Google. I don't want to say, "Dan Miller will share his 48 Low- or No-Cost Business Ideas next week." You can Google "48 Low- or No-Cost Business Ideas" and find Dan's resource. There is no reason to come back to the episode to get the answers. No need to wait. You can go get them now. Tease effectively. SUBSCRIBE My downloads took a dip in fourth quarter like everyone else. It would really help if you would subscribe or follow this podcast right now. Grab your phone. Let's do this right now. On many podcast platforms, simply open the episode. Click that follow or subscribe button on the page. Even if you think you are already subscribed, please grab your phone and check. It would be a tremendous help to me. This week, get out and share your podcast with your tribe. Let's get those downloads coming back. Now, the top six episodes of Podcast Talent Coach in 2023. #6 BEST OF 2023 Number six is Creating a Custom Intro – PTC 433. The introduction of your podcast is probably the most critical part of your show. A custom intro takes it to a whole new level. A typical listener will give you between 90 seconds and a few minutes to entice them to stick around. Don't blow it. You can't catch up to a slow start. When you create your intro, tell your listener how they will be better after listening to an episode. Your listener is asking, "What's in it for me?" A custom intro adds show biz.

So, you want to make money with your podcast. Why? I know that sounds like a crazy question. Who doesn't want more money? Dig a little deeper. What is really driving your desire? What would more money do for your business, your family, your mission and your life? How could a successful strategy that helps you consistently make money with your show change your life? Let's look 5 years down the road. Imagine what you can accomplish in 60 months if you know where you're going and have a plan to follow. Can you see it? Can you see how your life is different? That's why you want to make money. It isn't the money. It's all about the transformation in your life that the money makes possible. One of my clients told me, "If we are able to generate leads, that is awesome. If we are helping change people's lives, and they are reaching out to us, that would be a success. Becoming a resource is the goal." Money makes the mission possible. What would that feel like if that transformation came to life 5 years from now? How great would it be to be clear on your actions and relieving all that stress? You know you have the expertise to change lives. Your success is just a matter of getting in front of your ideal clients. That is the power of an effective podcast strategy. I'm going to show you the four steps to make money with your podcast. If you are struggling, your strategy probably has a hole in one of these areas. BEST OF EPISODE 423 Only 3% of your market is buying today. A fraction of your target market is actively looking to make a purchase right now. Another 7% could possibly be convinced they need it now. For 30% of your audience, the time isn't right. The next 30% don't believe they need it based on the info the currently have. They need more education. Your final 30% may never buy. They may be a user of different brand or have different needs. If you are spending all of your time closing, you are missing 97% of your target market. Even you convince that 7% that could be sold, 90% of your audience isn't looking to buy right now. You are missing a huge opportunity. We talk about an effective approach on this episode. Give it a listen at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/episode423. #2 BEST OF 2023 The second most downloaded episode of 2023 is Why ChatGPT Means You Matter Even More – PTC 430. ChatGPT is all the rage. It's also the reason why you now matter even more than ever. As an oversimplified definition, Chat GPT uses artificial intelligence like Siri on your iPhone or your Alexa smart speaker. It is just much more powerful. GPT is short for Generative Pretrained Transformer. We'll get into a deeper definition in a bit. What I want you to understand is the impact it will have on your podcast. NOT ALL INFO Your podcast cannot simply be information. ChatGPT has nearly all the information anyone could ever need. It is the depth of the internet with the conversation of Alexa. It was an early Monday morning in March of 1995. I had just started my new job as Program Director of an alternative radio station in Lincoln, Nebraska. I was standing in the jock lounge. It was basically an open room with a countertop around the perimeter. All the DJs kept their stuff in there. Sitting on the countertop was a big, bulky, desktop computer. It was primarily used to schedule music logs for the stations. However, this particular computer was connected to the World Wide Web. The mid-90s was when the internet really started taking off. We would pull up a site called Webcrawler. It was the first search engine to be widely used. It was also the first to fully index the content on web pages. One of the primary investors in Webcrawler was Paul Allen of Microsoft. But, we'll get to that connection in a minute. As we played with Webcrawler, we could find anything we wanted. I typed in all sorts of words and phrases to see what would come up. Baseball, bullfrogs, blues music. It was all there. IT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE And that's when I realized the world was about to change. The Encyclopedia Britannica set and the World Books we had in the basement of my mom's house were no longer relevant. Why would I search the encylopedia when I could use Webcrawler? Now, I know you're probably thinking the use of an encyclopedia sounds ludacris. Or I just sound old. Either way, it was the dawn of a new day. This also meant my radio show could no longer be the interesting bits of trivia or music news I typically shared. I would need to serve my listeners something Webcrawler couldn't. That something turned out to be me, my story and my personality. Webcrawler couldn't copy that. Rather than sharing the tidbit that Bob Mould was once a member of Husker Du and then of Sugar, I needed to talk about the strange sounds coming from the apartment next door last night or the time Ozzy Osbourne wouldn't stop talking to my girlfriend. Thanks to Webcrawler and the World Wide Web in 1995, it was indeed a different world and time for a new approach. HERE WE GO AGAIN And that's where we are again today. ChatGPT has the information. If you are only serving information on your podcast, you are the new version of the Encyclopedia Britannica. BEST OF EPISODE 430 In this episode, we talk a lot about sharing your story and personality to separate you from ChatGPT and make you unique. You can continue to deliver information episode after episode and end up fading away like the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Or you can share a little bit of you on every episode and build long-lasting, powerful relationships with your listeners. If you would like help developing stories for your show, grab my Story Development Worksheet at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/story. Developing your personality is a little more involved.

Let's take a look at each of the six steps to build your podcast profits framework. Step one is your Podcast Platform. This is your foundation and your why. TaVona Denise worked with me to build a strong foundation and a powerful “why” for her show. She worked as a nurse, but no longer loved the profession. She transitioned out of nursing into a new career. Soon, she began coaching other nurses to do the same and find the career they loved. This quickly became her purpose in life and she built her show around helping nurses launch their own businesses. AUDIENCE ATTRACTION Step two is your Audience Attraction. This step helps people discover you. You get in front of new potential listeners and show them how you can help. This is all about partnerships, attraction and engagement. You want to find influencers who are already speaking to your ideal clients and partner with them. Greg Payne is the host of the Cool Grandpa podcast. He was around 350 downloads per month. After implementing the Audience Explosion Blueprint, his monthly downloads hit 854. When I put this step into place with my own show, I was able to double my downloads in the span of three months. I basically doubled my audience in 90 days. That was after 275 episodes as well. BEST OF EPISODE 426 On this episode, we talk with Anne Sullivan about using her podcast to grow her harp teaching business. Anne Sullivan began her career as a concert harpist at age twelve when she appeared twice as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra. A native of the Philadelphia area and a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, she is in demand as a recitalist, chamber musician and symphonic soloist. Her orchestral appearances have included engagements with the Baltimore Symphony, the Delaware Symphony where she was principal harpist, the Pennsylvania Chamber Orchestra, and the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. In 2012, Ms. Sullivan founded Harp Mastery®, an online resource which now serves a worldwide community of harpists. Her creative approaches to teaching harp students of all ages focus on helping harpists achieve harp happiness, which she defines as "playing the music you want the way you want." Through her blogs, a podcast, online courses, challenges, live events, and proprietary coaching process, Harp Mastery® continues to empower every harpist to find fulfillment and joy in their harp playing. Learn more at harpmastery.com. Anne now uses her podcast to grow her business and connect with her students. In our conversation today, you will get many nuggets to help you in your business as well. Anne shares with us how she launched her podcast, how she uses the podcast in the business and how her first episode turned out. Give it a listen at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/episode426.

Anne grew up in poverty and pain. Two of her siblings died in infancy. At five, an eye disease left her partially blind and unable to read or write. When Anne was eight, her mother died from tuberculosis. Shortly after, her abusive father abandoned his three surviving children. The youngest was sent to live with relatives, but Anne and her brother, Jimmie, went to Tewksbury Almshouse, a dilapidated, overcrowded poorhouse. A few months later, Jimmie died. At age fourteen, Anne’s circumstances brightened. She was sent to a school for the blind, where she underwent surgery to improve her vision and learned to read and write. Though she struggled to fit in, she excelled academically and graduated valedictorian. Today we know her best as Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller’s teacher and companion. Through effort, patience, and love, Anne taught blind and deaf Helen to speak, to read Braille, and to graduate from college. Joseph too had to overcome extreme trials: at seventeen, he was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and was later wrongly imprisoned (Genesis 37; 39–41). Yet God used him to save Egypt and his family from famine (50:20). We all face trials and troubles. But just as God helped Joseph and Anne to overcome and to deeply impact the lives of others, He can help and use us. Seek Him for help and guidance. He sees and hears.
This is Part Two of a Three part series on public and private events with our guest Dr Joe Layng. Joe is a behavior analyst. He's been our guest before. We've talked about contingency adduction, non linear analysis, the effect of schedules on social behavior, and degrees of freedom among many other topics. Most recently we did a series with Joe on Schedules of Reinforcement. Last week Joe talked about Helen Keller. Most of us know who she was through the movie “The Miracle Worker”. Helen Keller was born in 1880. When she was just 19 months old, an illness left her blind and deaf. Until she was seven years old she lived in a world without language. If you've watched “The Miracle Worker” you know the scene where her teacher Anne Sullivan spelled out water on Helen's hand while holding her hand under a hand pump. The connection was made. These odd hand movements meant water. She could communicate! In the clicker training world we often refer to this event as a Helen Keller moment. That's the excitement you see in some animals when they suddenly understand what the click means. They can communicate! We call the sudden surge in activity, excitement. And we refer to these emotions as private events and we make a distinction between emotions and emotional behavior. One is a private event which we can't see and the other is an observable public event. Just when you think you've got this sorted, Joe throws a monkey wrench into our understanding by arguing that there is no difference between public and private events. In this episode he'll give us another intriguing way of thinking about what we think is our reality.
We're taking a short break from covering Christmas movies by talking about Arthur Penn's The Miracle Worker. Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke are tremendous as the battling teacher and student. Both won Oscars as Bancroft's Anne Sullivan teaches manners and ASL to Duke's deaf and blind Helen Keller. The real Keller was intelligent, stubborn, ferocious and---disabilities or not---also a bit of a jerk. Sullivan pushes back though and DOESN'T have the patience of Job. This is a hard job, especially during their epic 9-minute battle in the dining room. The Miracle Worker is a movie about making connections and they eventually do that...as do we by comparing this difficult girl to our beloved dogs. Forgive us, it's what we know best. So put on some dark glasses and resist the urge to grab food right off people's plates as our 554th water pump of Have You Ever Seen analyzes this biopic about 2 extraordinary women.

This is Part 1 of a three part conversation about public and private events with Dr Joe Layng. We've just finished up a four part series on Feldenkrais work. I think it is perfect that we're following this series with Joe's discussion of public and private events. In episode 259 Anita shared an ATM lesson with all of us. What you experienced from this lesson is what you experienced, but I have no way of knowing if that is anything even remotely related to what I experienced. This is relevant and important especially when it comes to riding lessons where we are trying to translate into words a kinesthetic experience. Joe's discussion of public and private events begins there and then carries us into a discussion of what is consciousness. He then asks: are animals aware? Dr Layng has been our guest before. We've talked about contingency adduction, non linear analysis, the effect of schedules on social behavior, and degrees of freedom among many other topics. Most recently we did a series with Joe on Schedules of Reinforcement. Those are episodes 239 through 242. I suggest that you listen to episode 239 as well as this current series. That episode was a teaser for the conversation we are having on public and private events. In this episode Joe talks about Helen Keller. Most of us know who she was through the movie “The Miracle Worker”. Helen Keller was born in 1880. When she was just 19 months old, an illness left her blind and deaf. Until she was seven years old she lived in a world without language. If you've watched “The Miracle Worker” you know the scene where her teacher Anne Sullivan spelled out water on Helen's hand while holding her hand under a hand pump. The connection was made.

And we refer to these emotions as private events and we make a distinction between emotions and emotional behavior. One is a private event which we can't see and the other is an observable public event. Just when you think you've got this sorted, Joe throws a monkey wrench into our understanding by arguing that there is no difference between public and private events. In this episode he he begins a conversation that offers us an intriguing way of thinking about what we think is our reality.

hear anything, or say anything?Life for young Helen Keller was like that.She had had an illness before she was two years old that had left her deaf, dumb and blind.After that, it was difficult for her to communicate with anyone.She could only learn by feeling with her hands.This was very frustrating for Helen, her mother and her father.Helen Keller grew up in Alabama, U.S.A., during the 1880s and 1890s.At that time, people who had lost the use of their eyes, ears and mouth often ended up in charitable institutions.Such a place would provide them with basic food and shelter until they died.Or they could go out on the streets with a beggar's bowl and ask strangers for money.Since Helen's parents were not poor, she did not have to do either of these things.But her parents knew that they would have to do something to help her.One day, when she was six years old, Helen became frustrated that her mother was spending so much time with the new baby.Unable to express her anger, Helen tipped over the baby's crib, nearly injuring the baby.Her parents were horrified and decided to take the last chance open to them.They would try to find someone to teach Helen to communicate.A new school in Boston claimed to be able to teach children like Helen.The Kellers wrote a letter to the school in Boston asking for help.In March 1887, a teacher, twenty year old Anne Sullivan arrived at the Keller's home in Tuscumbia, Alabama.Anne Sullivan herself had had a very difficult life.Her mother had died when she was eight.Two years later, their father had abandoned Anne and her little brother Jimmy.Anne was nearly blind and her brother had a diseased hip.No one wanted the two handicapped children, so they were sent to a charitable institution.Jimmy died there.At age 14, Anne, who was not quite blind, was sent to the school for the blind in Boston.Since she had not had any schooling before, she had to start in Grade One.Then she had an operation that gave her back some of her eyesight.Since Anne knew what it was like to be blind, she was a sympathetic teacher.Before Anne could teach Helen anything, she had to get her attention.Because Helen was so hard to communicate with, she was often left alone to do as she pleased.A few days after she arrived, Anne insisted that Helen learn to sit down at the table and eat breakfast properly.Anne told the Kellers to leave, and she spent all morning in the breakfast room with Helen.Finally,after a difficult struggle she got the little girl to sit at the table and use a knife and fork.Since the Keller family did not like to be strict with Helen, Anne decided that she needed to be alone with her for a while.There was a little cottage away from the big house.The teacher and pupil moved there for some weeks.It was here that Anne taught Helen the manual alphabet.This was a system of sign language.But since Helen couldn't see, Anne had to make the signs in her hands so that she could feel them.For along time, Helen had no idea what the words she was learning meant.She learned words like "box" and "cat," but hadn't learned that they referred to those objects.One day, Anne dragged Helen to a water pump and made the signs for"water" while she pumped water over Helen's hands.Helen at last made the connection between the signs and the thing."Water"was that cool, wet liquid stuff.Once Helen realized that the manual alphabet could be used to name things, she ran around naming everything.Before too long, she began to make sentences using the manual alphabet.She also learned to read and write using the "Square Hand Alphabet" which was made up of raised square letters.Before long, she was also using Braille and beginning to read books.Helen eventually learned to speak a little, although this was hard for her because she couldn't hear herself.She went on to school and then to Radcliffe College.She wrote articles and books, gave lectures, and worked tirelessly to help the blind.The little girl who couldn't communicate with anyone became, in time, a wonderful communicator.翻译海伦·凯勒什么也看不见,什么也听不见,什么也说不出来会是什么感觉?年轻的海伦·凯勒的生活就是这样。她在两岁之前生过一场病,导致她又聋又哑又盲。从那以后,她很难与任何人沟通。她只能用手摸来学习。这对海伦、她的父母来说都是非常令人沮丧的。海伦·凯勒于19世纪八九十年代在美国阿拉巴马州长大。在那个时候,那些失去了眼睛、耳朵和嘴巴的人最后往往会去慈善机构。这样的地方可以为他们提供基本的食物和住所,直到他们死去。或者他们可以拿着乞丐的碗走到街上向陌生人要钱。由于海伦的父母并不穷,她不必做这两件事。但是她的父母知道他们必须做点什么来帮助她。海伦六岁的时候,有一天,她对妈妈花那么多时间和新生婴儿在一起感到沮丧。海伦无法表达她的愤怒,打翻了婴儿床,差点把婴儿弄伤。她的父母吓坏了,决定抓住最后的机会。他们会设法找人教海伦交流。波士顿的一所新学校声称能够教海伦这样的孩子。凯勒一家给波士顿的学校写了一封信寻求帮助。1887年3月,20岁的教师安妮·沙利文来到凯勒在阿拉巴马州图斯坎比亚的家。安妮·沙利文自己的生活也很艰难。她母亲在她八岁时就去世了。两年后,他们的父亲抛弃了安妮和她的弟弟吉米。安妮几乎失明了,而她的哥哥髋骨有病。没有人要这两个残疾儿童,所以他们被送到了慈善机构。吉米死在那里。14岁时,还没有完全失明的安妮被送到波士顿的一所盲人学校。由于她以前没有受过任何教育,她不得不从一年级开始。后来她做了手术,恢复了部分视力。因为安妮知道盲人的感受,所以她是一位富有同情心的老师。在安妮教海伦任何东西之前,她必须引起她的注意。因为海伦很难与人沟通,所以她经常被独自留下做她想做的事。到了几天后,安妮坚持要海伦学会在餐桌旁坐下,好好吃早餐。安妮叫凯勒一家离开,她整个上午都和海伦待在早餐室里。最后,经过一番艰难的挣扎,她让小女孩坐在桌子旁使用刀叉。由于凯勒一家不喜欢对海伦太严格,安妮决定自己需要和海伦单独待一段时间。在大房子的旁边有一间小屋。老师和学生搬到那里住了几个星期。就是在这里,安妮教会了海伦手工字母。这是一种手语系统。但由于海伦看不见,安妮不得不用手做手势,这样她才能感觉到。很长一段时间,海伦不知道她正在学习的单词是什么意思。她学会了“盒子”和“猫”这样的词,但不知道它们指的是这些物体。一天,安妮把海伦拖到一个水泵旁,一边把水抽到海伦手上,一边做着“水”的手势。海伦终于把这些符号和那个东西联系起来了。“水”是那种又冷又湿的液体。当海伦意识到可以用手工字母来命名事物时,她四处奔波,为所有事物命名。不久之后,她开始用手语字母造句。她还学会了用由凸起的方形字母组成的“方手字母表”来阅读和书写。不久,她也开始使用盲文,并开始阅读书籍。海伦最终学会了说一点话,尽管这对她来说很困难,因为她听不到自己的声音。她继续上学,然后去了拉德克利夫学院。她写文章和书,做演讲,不知疲倦地帮助盲人。那个不能和任何人交流的小女孩,最终变成了一个很棒的沟通者。
The Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act On this episode of the ACB Advocacy Update, Swatha speaks with Mark Richert, International Program Coordinator at Overbrook School for the Blind, about the recently reintroduced Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act (H.R.5748 and S.2945). This bipartisan and bicameral piece of legislation would improve special education opportunities for blind, low vision, deafblind, deaf, and hard of hearing K12 students. Swatha and Mark go over the bill's provisions, changes that have been made this time around from previous Congresses, and how members and friends can get involved and get this bill passed.

Helen Keller changed the world because she was able to do the impossible. She was blind and deaf, and she learned to read, write, do math, and even speak! Sometimes processing emotions seems impossible and improbable. The story of Helen Keller helps us see the importance of naming things in our lives. And, of course, none of it would have been possible without the strength of Anne Sullivan.

This is a reading for contemplation taken from various texts written by Helen Keller on her mystical and spiritual insights. Although Helen's story is widely known, it is usually told with little reference to the deep spirituality that illumined her dark and silent world. She had profound spiritual and mystical insights and openly shared with others her joy for the spiritual reality of life. In Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda describes Helen as one of those “rare beings on this earth” who by “sheer intuitional feeling…see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.” Helen Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old. She then communicated primarily using home signs until the age of seven, when she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. Sullivan taught Keller language, including reading and writing. After an education at both specialist and mainstream schools, Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

To make money with your podcast, you need to create a strategy that you can repeat over and over again. Focus on one strategy step-by-step until you reach success to grow your business. That step-by-step process is my Podcast Profits Framework. It consists of six steps. COACHING Before we jump into it, let me invite you to get some help building your strategy. You know how most podcasters don't make money with their show? They waste a lot of time on their podcast when it doesn't do anything to grow the business? I am a content coach. I help you build powerful, sales relationships with your podcast. If you want to try it, the process is really simple. First, we have a 30-minute conversation where we get clear on your podcast goals, what you hope to accomplish and how the podcast works into that plan. Next, we figure out where you are today, determine what you've tried in the past, and build the strategy to get you to your goals. And if you like what we've built, and you want some help implementing your strategy, I can show you what that would look like. You can only continue to dump so much time and effort into an ineffective podcast that isn't bringing you clients and growing your business. Doing what you're doing isn't getting you to your goals. My clients enjoy the freedom, success and financial gain by attracting clients through their podcast. They free up their time and relax with a real strategy to consistently and easily attract clients with their podcast. Implementation of the strategy helps them quickly and easily grow their revenue without the frustration, hard sales and guess work. I have a few slots on my calendar if you want to meet, find the holes in your strategy, and craft your strategy to make money with your podcast. Visit www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply and we'll talk. PODCAST PLATFORM Let's take a look at each of the six steps to build your podcast profits framework. Step one is your Podcast Platform. This is your foundation and your why. TaVona Denise worked with me to build a strong foundation and a powerful "why" for her show. She worked as a nurse, but no longer loved the profession. She transitioned out of nursing into a new career. Soon, she began coaching other nurses to do the same and find the career they loved. This quickly became her purpose in life and she built her show around helping nurses launch their own businesses. AUDIENCE ATTRACTION Step two is your Audience Attraction. This step helps people discover you. You get in front of new potential listeners and show them how you can help. This is all about partnerships, attraction and engagement. You want to find influencers who are already speaking to your ideal clients and partner with them. Greg Payne is the host of the Cool Grandpa podcast. He was around 350 downloads per month. After implementing the Audience Explosion Blueprint, his monthly downloads hit 854. When I put this step into place with my own show, I was able to double my downloads in the span of three months. I basically doubled my audience in 90 days. That was after 275 episodes as well. CONTENT CREATION Step three is your Content Creation. This is what you podcast. Your content gets people to listen to your show. You content builds your authority and trust. This is how your ideal clients gets to know, like and trust you when you do it right. Sadie and Sausha created the Meathead Test Kitchen podcast. They talk about content they love and interview influencers in their niche. They've interviewed Olympic athletes, MMA fighters, renowned chefs, and various other powerful people in the niche. The two of them do it with a flair and sense of personality only these two tatooed ladies could deliver. In the first episode, you know exactly who they are and what you get. There's no holding back. RELATIONSHIP ROADMAP Step four is your Relationship Roadmap. People may come for your content. They keep coming back for your personality. Build relationships with your listeners. Jedlie is one of my clients. He has the "Reading With Your Kids" podcast. Jedlie is a magician, clown and performer. He brings that personality to his show and builds relationships with his audience. STARTING STRATEGY Step five is your Starting Strategy. Without a roadmap, you can't hope to get where you're going. You need a strategy. Let me show you a case study that will show you how this works. When Oscar Trimboli came to me for coaching, he had the desire to strengthen the connection between his podcast and his consulting business. Season one of his podcast consisted of interviews. He was headed into season two and wanted this season to be more about teaching his five levels of listening. Oscar Trimboli is a mentor, leadership coach, speaker, author and podcaster. His podcast and book are both entitled "Deep Listening – Impact Beyond Words". Oscar Trimboli has 30 years' experience in bringing out the best in senior executives and next generation leaders. As we worked together, our challenge was to bring that power and authority to Oscar's podcast. Our goal was to create engagement with his audience and demonstrate his authority in the space. Over time, this would help him grow his consultancy. He could demonstrate his authority on his show and gain new clients. To build his authority in his space, I suggested that Oscar interject himself more into the episodes, so listeners get to know, like and trust him. Oscar Trimboli is now the author of 3 books. He has coached, mentored and advised people in a wide range of roles from founders, CEOs and CFOs. He has also been asked to speak to leadership teams and their organizations. His podcast is now focused on the same material. Oscar demonstrates his authority in and mastery of the space. This allows potential clients to experience what his coaching, mentoring and consulting is all about. CONVERTING CLIENTS Finally, step six is creating your Converting Clients. This is where get your listeners to your sales conversation and invite them to work with you. HARP TEACHER Anne Sullivan began her career as a concert harpist at age twelve when she appeared twice as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra. A native of the Philadelphia area and a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, she is in demand as a recitalist, chamber musician and symphonic soloist.

We take a look this week at the incredibly inspirational life of Helen Keller. She accomplished SO much despite completely losing her sight and ability to hear at the age of just 19 months. Had the miracle worker Anne Sullivan not entered her life when she did, I don't think we'd know Helen's name today. Anne's life - also so incredible. Their intertwined story got me all fired up. We also take a look back at what went on at Bad Magic in 2022 and what we hope to accomplish going forward. Thank you all for sticking by us while we navigated through a lot of behind-the-scenes drama this past year. Despite the drama, still had SO many great moments, and hope to have even more in 2023.
