In this solo episode of Modern Chiropractic Mastery, Dr. Kevin Christie discusses an essential assessment tool for hiring associate chiropractors. Dr. Christie delves into the Talent Impact Profile (TIP), provided by VisionSpark, and explains its significance in identifying the best fit for associate roles. He outlines the challenges in finding compatible owner-associate dynamics and categorizes chiropractors into three types: clinicians, builders, and entrepreneurs. Dr. Christie emphasizes the importance of a meticulous hiring process, which should include evaluations like the TIP and the Kolbe assessment to measure cognitive, affective, and conative traits. Additionally, he stresses a four-phase approach to building a great team: talent acquisition, a comprehensive hiring process, thorough onboarding, and continuous training using the 'constant gentle pressure' method. This episode is a guide for practice owners to hire effectively and develop a productive, well-integrated team.
With the effects of climate change becoming ever so eminent, and the voice for action to tackle climate change growing stronger, Asian banks have made notable strides in embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance principles - or ESG for short - into their operations.According to WWF’s latest report, more banks across Asia are now recognising ESG risks and incorporating them into comprehensive risk management frameworks.However, there are still key gaps in areas such as the lack of inclusion of marine and water-related risks into client requirements, as well as the lack of requirement for clients to develop climate-related mitigation plans and align their activities with the Paris Agreement.On this episode of Eco Money, Prashanth Warrier, Vice President for Asia Sustainable Finance at WWF-Singapore shares his insights.Presented by: Audrey SiekProduced & Edited by: Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg)Assistant Producer: Muhammad Nazirul AsrarPhoto credits: pixabay & its talented community of contributorsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transforming Chronic Pain Treatment with a Lean, Data-focused Development StrategyBased in Washington, DC, AlgometRx has developed a technology platform that will let clinicians perform objective pain assessments to improve treatments for chronic pain.In Episode 37 of the MedTech Speed to Data Podcast, Key Tech's Andy Rogers and AlgometRx Chief Operating Officer Kevin Jackson discuss how collecting the right data sped the Nociometer platform's development.Need to knowPain diagnosis is challenging — Patients self-report their experience, which is inherently subjective and variable.Pain treatment involves trial and error — Finding the right treatment plan often requires a months-long iterative process.Risks of inappropriate drug treatments increase — Poor understanding of pain's causes leads to the over-prescription of the wrong drugs, a contributing factor to the opiate crisis.The nitty-grittyAlgometRx's technology platform emerged from research by the company's founder, Dr. Julia Finkel at Children's National Hospital. A pediatric anesthesiologist, Dr. Finkel must assess pain in children who lack the words to describe their experiences.“She wanted something that she could use in clinic to help better understand patients' pain,” Jackson explains. “Something that's simple enough that anyone could use in a variety of settings.”The Nociometer platform selectively activates nerve fibers and evaluates the patient's physical response — without causing additional pain.“We're able to identify the physiologic underpinnings of that pain experience, and that allows clinicians to better understand what's happening.”An objective assessment of the patient's pain lets the clinician make faster, better-informed decisions, but the real value will come from monitoring treatments. Rather than waiting three months to see if a treatment works, patients can return to the clinic a week later for a follow-up measurement. “That gives the clinician different information they wouldn't have had, Jackson says. “We can get right to the root of it, and you avoid six, seven, eight visits.”Data that made the difference:AlgometRx discussed this first-of-its-kind technology with the FDA before developing its proof-of-concept prototype. “We had this novel concept of a pain biomarker and device, so we wanted to know how we would even bring a device like this [to market].” FDA feedback informed a development strategy focused on gathering data from specific populations.AlgometRx leveraged partnerships to support this focused strategy. Working with Johns Hopkins researchers under an NIH Sprint for Women's Health grant, AlgometRx is developing pain response data sets for patients with systemic lupus and carpal tunnel syndrome. The startup is also a member of JLABS, Johnson & Johnson Innovation's life sciences incubator, where they get valuable insight into the Nociometer platform's potential role in pharmaceutical research.Running a lean operation lets AlgometRx prioritize data. Jackson is the startup's only full-time paid employee. Dr. Finkel, AlgometRx's board, and a network of consultants and contractors bring their expertise as needed. “We don't have a robust employee base, but we have a robust team,” Jackson says. “We've run this lean approach where we only bring in people as needed. Obviously, our investors love that idea because it's spending money on device development and data generation.”

In this podcast episode, Sharon continues to dive into an innovative protocol designed by Dr. Nell Duke and her team, aimed at enhancing literacy instruction for teachers and students alike. Sharon explores how this assessment tool serves as a guide to help teachers track and support students' growth in reading and writing with a focus on clarity, purpose, and alignment with curriculum standards.The protocol's foundation lies in purpose-driven literacy tasks, helping students understand the "why" behind their work. By prompting questions like, “Why am I writing this?” or “Who is this for?”, teachers encourage students to connect personally with reading and writing, fostering a deeper, more meaningful engagement. Sharon discusses how this tool spans all year levels, adapting to age-appropriate curriculum expectations and offering insights into language complexity. For instance, Year 3 students are supported to move beyond phonics, learning varied letter patterns and decoding strategies essential for understanding complex words.This protocol doesn't just benefit students; it's invaluable for teachers at any career stage. Early-career educators gain structured guidance in assessment, while experienced teachers find new insights that validate and enrich their practice. The tool encourages teachers to make intentional observations, providing data to shape class-wide and individualised instructional plans. As Sharon explains, the protocol's collaborative approach helps schools unify their literacy strategies, fostering reflective practice and shared growth among teaching staff.Teachers interested in this tool will find resources like printable forms, prompts, and instructional videos on Dr. Nell Duke's website. Join Sharon as she illustrates how this protocol empowers teachers to teach with purpose, offering a pathway to unlock every student's full literacy potential.READ THE BLOG HERERESOURCESListening to Reading, Watching While Writing protocolTEACHIFICPersonal Word Walls JOIN TEACHIFIC NOW AND SAVE!Join Teachific today.

In part two of this enlightening series, Sharon Callen dives into a practical conversation about a revolutionary assessment tool designed to aid teachers in observing, understanding, and enhancing student literacy. From initial implementation to on-the-spot teaching moments, Sharon shares the real-world impact this tool has had as she's modelled its use alongside teachers in classrooms across Australia. Sharon highlights how the tool's flexible structure—covering reading, spelling, and comprehension—offers teachers immediate insights into students' literacy strengths and areas for growth.Listeners gain a front-row seat as Sharon explains how teachers can narrow their focus to specific elements, such as fluency. She delves into the details of using Tim Rasinski's multidimensional fluency scale and how it allows teachers to set targeted goals and track progress in real time. Sharon also brings in examples from her own experiences, illustrating the ‘aha' moments when students begin to comprehend nuanced aspects of reading, like the power of italics for emphasis in storytelling.The conversation then expands into the tool's prompting framework for comprehension and composition. Rather than relying on rote recall, Sharon reveals how thoughtfully designed prompts can deepen students' meta-cognitive skills and comprehension. Teachers are encouraged to use prompts that invite students to reflect on what they learned, their responses to texts, and how reading aligns with their personal goals.With her warmth and depth of expertise, Sharon provides teachers with a clear path for embedding these practices into daily teaching, enabling richer student engagement and empowering educators with actionable data. This episode is packed with practical advice for any educator eager to make a lasting impact in literacy education.READ THE BLOG HERERESOURCESListening to Reading, Watching While Writing protocolTEACHIFICPersonal Word WallsJOIN TEACHIFIC NOW AND SAVE!Join Teachific today.

In this episode, Sharon Callen dives into a groundbreaking tool for educators—the "Listening to Reading, Watching While Writing" protocol, developed by literacy experts Nell Duke, Ward, and Klingelhofer. Sharon explores how this informal, formative assessment tool, launched between 2020 and 2023, is reshaping the way teachers assess and support their students' literacy skills in real-time.Unlike traditional formal assessments, this tool places teachers in the role of a researcher, empowering them to observe, reflect, and teach on the spot. Sharon highlights that the protocol bridges reading and writing in a way that reflects their natural reciprocity, emphasising that what students learn as readers, they apply as writers—and vice versa.Sharon discusses how this tool doesn't replace formal assessments, but complements them by guiding educators in their observations during daily instruction. It provides nuanced insights into areas like word identification, comprehension, and vocabulary strategies. By capturing these moments, teachers can make informed, immediate decisions about how to scaffold students' learning.The episode underscores the protocol's flexible and evolving nature, inviting teachers to adapt it to their needs. Sharon shares her experiences working with educators to trial the tool, noting its potential to humanise assessment—focusing not just on data collection, but on real-time learning and growth. With this tool, the goal is clear: empowering teachers to make a difference right there, right then, for every student's reading and writing journey.Listeners are encouraged to explore the protocol and its resources, readily available for free online, and to see how this innovative approach can transform their teaching practice.RESOURCESListening to Reading, Watching While Writing protocolTimothy Rasinski - Fluency RubricTEACHIFICPersonal Word Walls JOIN TEACHIFIC NOW AND SAVE!Join Teachific today.

When it comes to inclusion, it is all about education. Surrounding yourself around others that are not like yourself is going to push you to learn more about others. This education then leads to the ability to be more inclusive and helping to be more accessible to other groups. On this show, we had the chance to talk with two amazing gentlemen, both who started their lives out with vision and are now legally blind. The things that these gentlemen are doing to “change the perception of blindness” for others is instrumental! In this discussion, they talk about the fears that set in when it comes to inclusion and accessibility. There is fear from one side when it comes to asking. Asking if a blind individual needs help. Asking how you can support them. There is fear from the blind community when it comes to applying for jobs, getting support, etc. We all have fears when it comes to taking steps to change AND change is necessary. Asking the questions is something the simplest place to start. This episode is a vital episode to listen to if you are wanting to support different communities in being more inclusive and accessible and you don't know where to start. This podcast gives encouragement to just start. It can start with simply asking questions. Ask how to help, how to change, how to improve… and then let's do it! Did you know? 7 out of 10 working age people in Arizona who are blind or visually impaired are not working Estimated to be about 20K 45% of hiring managers believe there are no jobs within their organization that a person who is blind could do Changing the perception of blindness is the biggest barrier to employment and inclusion So, ask the questions to start to make the change. We are in this together and can make the changes to help others in the blind community. We can help this community and others to feel included and have the tools to allow them the access to resources and jobs.

It is not something you throw in job descriptions to draw people to applying for jobs within a company. According to Marcus Buckingham and Ashely Goodall in their book Nine Lies About Work, “Culture is the tenants of how we behave. It's like a family creed. This is how we operate and treat each other in the family.” As a growing company: There are many resources out there for company culture but they are scattered and difficult to find. Culture is not a one size fits all, so it is important for companies to find the resources that are the right fit for growing their own company culture. We have worked to build a hub that brings all of the resources together in one place and one community. The Culture Crush Business is the one stop shop for everything related to growing company culture. On this podcast: We focus on everything surrounding businesses with good company culture. We will talk with company leaders to learn about real-life experiences, tips, and best practices for creating a healthy work environment where employees are finding joy and satisfaction in their work while also striving and growing within the company. We also find the companies that offer resources to help improve company culture and showcase them on the show to share their tips and tricks for growing culture. About the Host Kindra Maples is spartan racer, past animal trainer, previous magician's assistant, and has a weakness for Oreo cookie shakes. Her journey working with people actually started working with animals as a teenager (don't worry we won't go that far back for her bio). She worked for over 15 years in the zoo industry working with animals and the public. Her passion of working with animals shifted into working with people in education, operations and leadership roles. From there her passion of leadership and helping people develop has continued to grow. Then came the opportunity for leading the Culture Crush Business Podcast and she jumped on it. Leadership, growth, and strong company cultures are all areas that Kindra is interested in diving into further.
James McCullough, CEO of Renalytix, is focused on preventive care for those most likely to get chronic kidney disease. Diagnostics and risk assessment of patients earlier in the disease cycle emphasize maintaining kidney health rather than managing complications from late-stage kidney disease and kidney failure. Using a machine-learning algorithm to look at blood-based biomarkers and EMR data, the KidneyIntelX system provides the clinician with a risk score and guidelines for treatment. James elaborates, "There are five stages of kidney disease. We're focused on the early stages, so stages 1 through 3, before the majority of damage is done to the kidney. When you have therapeutic intervention, lifestyle intervention, you get specialist involvement, you have a pretty good shot at slowing or stopping the progression of the disease into the later stages, stages 4 and 5, where your options start to become limited." "With KidneyIntelX now, for the first time, we can start to see risk assessment taking place at the front end of the chronic disease with the primary care doctor. If you score high by KidneyIntelX, you are roughly 20 times more likely to experience significant kidney function decline over the next five years versus if you score low by KidneyIntelX. The stratification, for the first time, becomes a very powerful tool that we can implement very simply at the primary care level, where most people with early-stage kidney disease and diabetes are being seen." "This is an advanced prognosis. Prognosis is the key to controlling chronic disease, especially widespread chronic disease because you can't treat everybody. We know that probably close to half the people with kidney disease and diabetes aren't progressing over the next few years. The real question becomes because there are so many people with diabetes and kidney disease. and healthcare resources are limited, who do you treat? Who should you be concerned about now to be able to give drug treatments, specialist referrals, and significant lifestyle modifications?" @Renalytix #KidneyDisease #KidneyHealth #DIgitalHealth #AI #MachineLearning #Diagnostics renalytix.com Listen to the podcast here

SingleStore recently launched the ‘Data Intensity Index' tool to help companies understand how data-intensive their applications are. Using five variables, the Data Intensity Index gives you an assessment of what kind of data infrastructure an application will need to deliver the best user experience. This 3-minute assessment, spread over 10 questions, aims to understand how data is used by the application and calculate the intensity score. Shireesh Thota joins me on Tech Talks Daily to share the story behind the tool and the problems they set out to solve. I also learn more about the data intensity assessment and what it means if you have a high or a low score. We discuss why data-intensive applications need a modern data infrastructure and the five critical components that impact application performance
A new tool can tell you if that meeting, event or family gathering will put you at risk for contracting COVID-19. The interactive tool, available now as a PDF, analyzes data such as size of the meeting space, ventilation, mask use, community spread, vaccination rates and more. Once the variables are filled in, users receive a low to very high risk assessment for a particular gathering. Our first guests from SwRI's wholly owned subsidiary Signature Science LLC in Austin tell us how scientists are making the tool more user friendly and how it's already working in real world scenarios. Listen now as Signature Science President and CEO Brian Schimmoller and Data Scientist Dr. Molly Isbell discuss the COVID-19 Exposure Assessment Tool (CEAT).
What is the Enneagram?Truity.com explains:According to the Enneagram, each of the nine personality types is defined by a particular core belief about how the world works. This core belief drives your deepest motivations and fears — and fundamentally shapes a person's worldview and the perspective through which they see the world and the people around them.Our core beliefs are not necessarily incorrect, but they can be limiting and operate as “blinders” for people. Understanding our Enneagram type and how it colors our perceptions can help us to broaden our perspective and approach situations more effectively.Understanding a person's Enneagram type helps us to see why they behave the way they do. Each Enneagram type has a set of core beliefs that will consistently motivate them to take particular actions and guide them to make certain decisions. Behavior that may seem confusing or contradictory can often be explained when we understand a person's Enneagram type.The Enneagram also helps us understand how people react to stress. By describing how each Enneatype adapts and responds to both stressful and supportive situations, the Enneagram shows opportunities for personal development and provides a foundation for the understanding of othersWhat is the enneagram?According to Truity.com: The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes nine personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another.Check out Truity.com for a free personality assessment and let us know what you think!Get out of your own way and start demanding joy and happiness in your life.
