Jaivet  Ealom is a student at the University of Toronto, an advocate and  writer: his book, Escape from Manus, is now out through Penguin Books  Australia. Born in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), Jaivet gained a  first-hand experience of the persecution of the Rohingya minority to  which he belongs. Making his escape by air and sea, he was detained en  route to Australia and spent four and a half years in an offshore  detention centre on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea. There he witnessed  how a democratically elected government could detain large groups of  refugees indefinitely and without due process. He left the island prison in unusual circumstances, becoming known as  “the only person to escape from the Manus Island Immigration Detention  Centre.” After a period of time in the South Pacific, Jaivet made his  way to the Toronto airport on Christmas Eve of 2017. He joined the  leadership team of the Canadian Rohingya Development Initiative, a  not-for-profit that advocates for the cause of the Rohingya people. He  also enrolled at the University of Toronto, where he is a full-time  student of Economics and Political Science. Motivated by his lived experience of political oppression, Jaivet has  become a staunch advocate of improving the refugee system, particularly  through the use of innovative and scalable solutions. As Manager of  NeedsList, a global crisis coordination relief enterprise, he promotes  the use of technology to bypass institutionally-placed barriers and  shape policy that better meets the needs of refugees. He is also a  member of the Refugee Advisory Network, where he builds upon his  understanding of refugee issues to help develop decision-making  processes that give voice to and address the needs of refugees  worldwide. This is a conversation that you don't want to miss.

Fred Paul is bringing a new perspective to leadership. As Manager and unofficial Dean of Wacker Neuson University, he is in charge of educating the North American sector when it comes to how to fix or sell Wacker Neuson products and services. His leadership skills were put to the test last year when we had to figure out how to connect with his team remotely. For those of you who don't know, Wacker Neuson is an organization that creates concrete and worksite technology and equipment. It's a niche market with unique products that require specialized knowledge and training. Paul does all this training and more by teaching soft skills, like leadership and management, to the thousands of employees who interact with Wacker Neuson products every day. Wacker Neuson makes a huge investment in their training, and Fred is a salesman. Training is his opportunity to be more competitive. He can penetrate the market with awareness programs that pique interest and help people understand the products while still being interactive and informative. We have both worked with Paul over the years and seen him at work, and he's breaking down how his processes had to evolve with the pandemic year. The key to his success? Besides being able to think on his toes, Paul knows how to connect with people. The success of his team is due to the fact that he listens to their needs and builds the programs and materials that fix their challenges. He calls it a “hand-shake business,” which requires people to get back to the basics of interpersonal interaction. For him, that means trusting your team, listening to their insight, and making decisions that benefit the organization as a whole. Listen now to learn how Paul put all these pieces together and translated in-person training for remote learning without sacrificing that interpersonal element we all need as successful leaders.

Today’s guest is a mover and shaker in the community of Alzheimer’s Research and Programming, particularly within communities of color. She has even examined programs in China to determine if and how this country’s program models may serve people of color in the United States. Born and raised in Chicago, Karen grew up with a voracious thirst for knowledge, and she particularly loved the sciences. She grew up with the desire to become a physician, but transitioned into Psychology. She has achieved some very interesting and groundbreaking things throughout her career. As Manager of Community Relations at The Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center, Karen developed and implemented recruitment strategies and educational programs aimed at communities of color. This was significant since many of the studies at that point were aimed at Caucasian and other majority cultures and non-black ethnic groups. She has been instrumental in developing key relationships with the business community, elected officials, a variety interdisciplinary health practitioners, along with other stakeholders to provide the best services possible to people of color around Memory Care. Karen was also instrumental in the administration of a Religious Order Study that looked at the cognitive and memory abilities of Nuns, Priests and most recently church Deacons. Her additional gifts include the translation of Alzheimer research findings from the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center to communities of color for practical application and programming. She is most proud of the fact that she played a key role in establishing institutional trust with potential study participants. This was a very ambitious endeavor given the distrust that many African American seniors have as a result of historical memories of The Tuskegee Study. Karen has made a huge leap in deciding to return to school to pursue a Doctorate in Nursing Research. She states that when she applied and interviewed for this demanding program, she did not expect to be admitted. She was pleasantly surprised by her acceptance and immediately tapped into the expertise of many of the physicians and faculty members to serve as advisors and mentors. She openly shares the challenges that she has encountered, as well as her triumphs as a student in this program. Karen received her B.A. in Psychology from The University of Illinois – Champaign, her Masters in Psychology from Roosevelt University and is a Doctoral candidate at Rush’s College of Nursing.
