[9:37] Thank you, Aaron! We look forward to seeing you at the RIMS Canada Conference 2024 in Vancouver, from October 6th through the 9th. [9:45] Our next guest is an explorer, architect, and author. He is Kevin Vallely, who is renowned for his adventurous spirit and compelling storytelling. He holds a Guinness World Record for the fastest unsupported trek to the South Pole and has led numerous expeditions around the globe. [10:06] He's the author of Rowing the Northwest Passage, about an unprecedented journey through one of the world's most challenging environments. In 2025, he will trek to the Arctic in a way that no one has ever done. We're going to hear about it and his risk philosophies for strategic risk management, with a preview of his RIMS Canada Conference 2024 keynote. [10:40] Kevin Vallely, welcome to RIMScast! [10:50] Kevin is in Vancouver today, and it is hot there this July! It's 35 Celsius or around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. He enjoys the heat. [11:53] Kevin has been undertaking major expeditions for almost three decades. It started when he was a child, one freezing February night in Montreal. He was nine years old and his brother was five. They were separated from their parents in a department store, and a security guard put them out on the street instead of finding their parents. Kevin's brother cried to go home. [13:31] At that point, Kevin, being the big brother, started the journey home with his little brother. Finding landmarks, he got to a familiar street and followed it for several hours, stepping into apartment buildings on the way to warm up, and made it home to their relieved parents and police searching for them. [14:22] That had been the riskiest and most uncertain moment in Kevin's life and he effectively overcame it. It was an empowering moment. It wasn't long after that, Kevin had this dream to ski to the South Pole, which he did, thirty-five years later. [14:47] Having been thrown into an unsettled and risky situation he didn't want to be in, and overcoming it, Kevin realized he was good at pushing through and coming out the other end, having successfully taken care of his brother and himself. It was an aha moment and the beginning of his adventuring career. [15:22] There is no adventuring degree. You just put yourself out there. The degree is that you survive and succeed. People who don't succeed in that world either deal with very bad consequences or their expeditions fail. Having broken the Guinness World Record to the South Pole is indicative that Kevin is doing something right. He has many expeditions under his belt. [15:50] A successful adventurer understands how to deal with risk, effectively manage it, and move forward. Kevin is a member of The Explorer's Club, based in New York. It's an elite club. [16:39] An adventurer always has to adjust. On September 10, 2001, Kevin and a teammate were summitting 10,000-foot-plus volcanoes in Java and Indonesia, two Muslim countries with very friendly people. Then September 11th happened and in a short time, Kevin and his teammate were not wanted. [17:39] They were warned by the Canadian Embassy to get out of the country but they kept going. They began to see this change. Then someone tried to drive them off the road, cursing at the “Americans.” Police officers told them to be very careful and recommended they leave. So they made an adjustment and left. [18:09] Kevin has been back to Indonesia a number of times since, and he says it's the most wonderful country with the most wonderful people. But there was that moment in history when they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and they knew to get out. Their appearance as Westerners was held against them with hostility. It was vital to adjust and leave. [19:25] Resilience is a fundamental facet of every occupation. Studies indicate that resilience is as important as whatever it is in your job that you are doing, in terms of career success. Resilience is a skill you can build, develop, and train. Push yourself and build that strength with small things so when something big happens, you can deal with it. [20:11] The three Ps of resilience are a strong sense of Purpose, Partnership with a team, and Perspective on the situation. Be conscious of these three things all the time to build your resilience. [21:32] It's RIMS plug time! Webinars! Servpro will make its RIMS Webinars debut on August 8th with Hurricane Preparedness in 2024: Innovations and Strategies to Protect Your Organization. On August 27th, Riskonnect returns to discuss How To Successfully Deploy AI in Risk Management. [21:57] On September 12th, Hub International returns to deliver the third part of their Ready for Tomorrow series. It's titled Pivot and Swerve Staying Agile During Shifting Market Dynamics.  More webinars will be announced soon and added to the Webinars page. Register at RIMS.org/Webinars. Webinar registration is complimentary for RIMS members! [22:23] The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 will be held on November 18th and 19th in Boston, Massachusetts. The agenda is live and soon we will have a call for nominations for the ERM Award of Distinction. I'll have that link up soon in an upcoming episode. [22:43] Review your organization's ERM program, and if you feel it was successful and you have the numbers and the data to back it up, compile that information and get ready to submit your ERM program for the ERM Award of Distinction. [22:57] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals; that is achieved in part by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the United States and Canada. The call for General Grant applications is open now through July 30th. [23:18] General Grant Awardees are typically notified at the end of October. The link to the application criteria is in this episode's show notes. [23:28] On September 12th, 2024, we look forward to seeing you at the Spencer Funding Their Future Gala at the Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Our recent guest from Episode 293, Lilian Vanvieldt-Gray will be our Honoree. Lilian is the Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Alliant Insurance Services. [23:54] Lilian will be honored for her valuable contributions to supporting the future of risk management and insurance. That was a great episode, so after you finish this one, go back and listen to Episode 293! [24:08] Let's conclude our interview with RIMS Canada Conference 2024 Keynote Kevin Vallely! [24:50] Kevin explains that team alignment and managing risk effectively together is all around communication. If you're not communicating, you don't know if you're aligned. [25:09] Before you head into a difficult situation, come up with some key principles to display when you're out there: your decision-making model, your guiding principles for this journey, your goals, and your definition of success, with all team members being on the same page with these principles throughout the journey. [25:38] Kevin explains how the key principles work in practice on the journey. [27:01] The decision-making process is to be determined and agreed upon by the members of the expedition before the journey begins. When things are happening quickly, you don't debate how to make a decision. You make the right decision when you need to. [27:57] Kevin compares architecture to adventuring. It's an uncertain landscape in many ways. Liability, creativity, and innovation relate to the wild as well as to architecture. The wild wisdom he learns on adventures helps his architecture and what he learns in architecture helps his expeditions. [29:56] Kevin went into architecture as a wonderful opportunity to express himself. He is doing contemporary modern homes. He has worked in every aspect of the business but has worked for himself for 13 years. His architecture is a passion project and he likes to do things that are a little bit different, with the risks that involves. [30:34] Kevin discusses some of the homes he has designed for clients. His clients become his friends as they work together for years from start to finish. The Bridge House is one he loves. His job is to create the client's dream space with his vocabulary. [32:01] Kevin's upcoming expedition for March 2025 is called The Coldest Journey in the World. They first tried it in 2022. It lasted two weeks, due to conditions that were colder than anticipated. It was too cold for the machines. After two weeks they recognized they were putting themselves in danger so they paused to rethink it and came back. [33:30] Their process now is innovative thinking, rethinking, and dynamically changing, based on the risk profile. The plan now is to go by ski and dog team. Dogs survive wonderfully in that environment. They love it, in coid worse than snowmobiles can take. They have a team of four traveling with two sets of dog teams. It's an Inuit and non-Inuit team coming together. [34:08] It will be a seamless, cross-cultural collaboration. They will be learning from one another in this environment. There will be a camera team, independent of them, for a period of time, as the camera team endures. Kevin is trying to push the boundaries of what is possible in that environment. No one has been there in that time of year. [35:00] Kevin is not looking for world records. This is a much more meaningful process for him. They are going to the Northern terrestrial edge of the planet, as far North as you can go before stepping onto the sea ice heading for the North Pole. They are going there and back on a 1,200-mile (2,000-Km) journey through the coldest, most hostile environment on the planet. [35:31] They will see things few people get to see, including lots of polar bears, wolves, and musk oxen. It will be fascinating to see how those creatures survive in that environment. They estimate the trip will take 45 to 60 days. Last year, on Baffin Island, they did a quick, two-week test journey. At one point it was minus 47 degrees Celsius with 110 Kph winds. [36:11] The temperature felt like minus 87 Celcius or about minus 125 Fahrenheit. Kevin bit into a Fig Newton, and his front tooth snapped off at the gum. He's getting an implant put in. It's cold and things get really brittle. It's a different world. The team understands the environment and has been in it. Someone who's never been in the environment could die quickly in it. [36:53] Kevin's team is able to push that boundary with their experience. For them, the risk is manageable and they know what to do when things don't turn out right. They adjust to that. [37:15] When you're out there, the first couple of weeks are nasty but then your body starts to adapt to using food to generate heat. When they skied to the South Pole, they ate 8,500 calories a day, taking a special lipase to digest the extra fat. Normally, the human body maxes out at metabolizing 5,500 calories. Kevin still lost weight. Extreme cold is the ultimat diet. [38:27] At the RIMS Canada Conference 2024 in Vancouver, Kevin will talk about a planned rowing journey, attempting to traverse the Canadian High Arctic in a small boat solely under human power, with all the risks associated with that and how to manage them, including things happening that you couldn't anticipate, and how you deal with that, [38:51] There's a lot of learning around risk management and also courage in that environment. There's risk in life. It's about having the right mindset, being courageous, and moving forward through whatever you are thrown. Kevin will use multimedia visuals with videos to illustrate his address. There will be opportunities for audience involvement. [39:54] That sounds like it's going to be great. We look forward to seeing you there. I really appreciate you making the time for us here today. We will see you at the RIMS Canada Conference 2024 in Vancouver. Kevin Vallely, thank you so much!

Ein verbaler Angriff im Workshop, ein schwieriges Personalgespräch oder Verweigerung, wenn es um einen wichtigen Change-Prozess geht. Bei einigen Themen kann es schnell emotional werden. Wenn schwierige Gespräch eskalieren, liegt das oft an der eigenen Haltung. Wir haben in den Kampfmodus geschaltet. Dadurch wird das Miteinander zu einem Nullsummenspiel mit einem Gewinner und einem Verlierer. Vielleicht. Die Wahrheit ist, wenn Gespräche so verlaufen dann sieht jeder schlecht aus, insbesondere im Büro. Der wahre Gegner ist häufig nicht dein Gesprächspartner, sondern du selbst bzw deine eigene Haltung. Diese Kannst du verändern und mit Strategie und Fertigkeit sowohl im Business als auch privat zufriedener und erfolgreicher werden. Wie das genau geht, das sagt uns jetzt Jürgen Schulze-Seeger. Er ist einer der Gründe von Bridge House und arbeitet seit über 30 Jahren als Leadership-Trainer, Autor und Coach. Er ist spezialisiert auf schwierigste Gesprächssituationen. Du erfährst unter anderem:• Wie du in schwierigen Situationen souverän bleiben kannst.• Wie entscheidend dein Mindset für Deeskalation ist.• Wie du aus der Kampfrethorik aussteigst.• Was Körpersprache und Stimme mit deiner Haltung zu tun hat.• Wie du mit reiner Provokation umgehst.Mehr zu Jürgen: • Webseite: www.bridgehouse.de• Folge Jürgen auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/j%C3%BCrgen-schulze-seeger-ba7b8b71/• Jürgen ist auch bei Xing: https://www.xing.com/profile/Juergen_SchulzeSeeger/cvMehr zu mir:• Website: https://ina-boettcher.de• Newsletter: https://ina-boettcher.de/newsletter/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inaboettcher_medientraining/

Skating is the ultimate DIY sport: All you need is a board or a pair of skates and a creative eye for the urban environment. Portland has a history of skaters making their own skate parks, without city funding or even permission. Now a coalition of skaters and supporters are trying to convince the city to create a new skate park under the west end of the Steel Bridge. Today on City Cast Portland, we're talking with Sara Campos of Queer Skate PDX about why Portland needs more inclusive skating spaces.  Who would you like to hear on City Cast Portland?

...in which we take a tour of honeypot Ambleside in the company of Blue Badge guide, and lover of all things Ambleside, Alison Pickering. Setting out from Rothay Park, we visit the riverside Roman Fort, once a thriving settlement with strategic links throughout Cumbria, before making our way via the centuries-spanning milling powerhouse of Stock Ghyll into the centre of town to talk about its industrial transition from wool town to tourist mecca. As we wander, under pristine spring skies, we learn about the Roman gifts of damsons and apples; the battle to save Stock Ghyll Park; and the real purpose of diminutive Bridge House, before asking why the town's chapel was only in use for 43 years; and what a Victorian tourist would pack into their busy Lakeland tour.

Kasey meets another denizen of the Bridge House, not quite a ghost but not human either. An artificial being, who seems to know more about what's really going on than anyone really should.. This episode features guest vocals by Michele Ong, as Arial. She'll be back in later episodes.

Kasey James investigates the first two rooms of the haunted Bridge House, and encounters a ghost (or memory?) of its owner, one Keziah Gilman.

Kasey James arrives at The Bridge House, driven by dreams she cannot explain - and also by a rainstorm.

Fleeing the tower library and its strange inhabitant, Kasey James explores a little of the first floor of the Bridge House, including gallery - wherein are a number of curious artworks and a rather disturbing statue. Or is it only a statue?

Our intrepid heroine ventures further into the Bridge House, through the music room and its memories and into the kitchen. We experience creepy visions, chanting, and sleep paralysis - or is that an actual haunt?

In today's episode, we are joined by fellow recovering shitshow and therapist Kevin Petersen (LMFT). Kevin began his journey of recovery in May 1991 and has been sober ever since. He shares about his experience growing up with an addicted mother and workaholic mother, his journey to heal from the impact of his dysfunctional upbringing, and his experience in helping families navigate the addiction & recovery process.After a successful career in sales and marketing, Kevin pivoted in the addiction treatment field and obtained a Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from Regis University. He spent three and a half years working at Arapahoe Douglas Mental Health Network as an in-home therapist, case manager, crisis evaluator and outpatient therapist for Child and Family Services, he also worked part time for The Bridge House, ADMHN's Acute Treatment Unit, as a Mental Health Technician and Counselor.

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with one of Boulder’s Philanthropic warriors, Isabel McDevitt. Isabel currently is the CEO for Bridge House, which is a non-profit that supports the homeless population of Boulder and Beyond. She is impactful and passionate about creating new and unique opportunities in the workforce for this population. Get ready to get goosebumps for the incredible work BridgeHouse and Isabel are doing for our community. Everyone is currently feeling the effects of Covid19 and the homeless community is no different. Bridgehouse had to make immediate changes to their model to create more physical space between people at their shelters, in order to comply with the CDC’s social distancing and hygiene requirements. They’ve partnered with the city to open the CRC (Covid Recovery Center) at East Boulder Rec Center, to help identify and isolate those of the homeless population showing symptoms. Bridge house expects to see a reduction in financial support from their social enterprises and donations with an increase in need across this population. Supporting their social enterprises including the Community Table Kitchen is one way to get involved and show your support. You can order nutritious family sized meals for pick up or delivery at: boulderbridgehouse.org. Volunteering is more important now than ever, not only for BridgeHouse and your other favorite non-profits, but also for your own community connection. Special Guest: Isabel McDevitt.

10.6.19 - This morning we welcome Jim and Rachelle Boone to give their amazing testimonies and to tell about the exciting things God is doing with the Bridge House. Listen in!

This is Convo By Design with a special conversation with Dan Burnn, a fascinating architect. This interview was recorded live from the WestEdge Design Fair in the Programming Lounge presented by Convo By Design. This conversation was really fun for me. Dan is a very interesting guy with a unique perspective on architecture and how he bends and blends ideas to fit the lives of his clients. Dan and I spoke about modern ideas in architecture and studied two of his California projects, the Flip-Flop House in Venice and the Bridge House in Hancock Park. Dan was raised in Tel Aviv and his love of and passion for the Bauhaus architecture in which he grew up is evident in his work. His designs are expressive and unique but the first goal is to be of use to those living within. The Flip-Flop project, as you’ll hear is about privacy in a public setting and display of Art, while using the light and views without the ability to close the space off from public view. The Bridge House is a master work of ingenuity and spatial craftwork. Both show ho Brunn approaches his craft. Before we get into this conversation with Dan, I want to thank you for listening and invite you to join in the conversation, you can find us @ConvoByDesign on twitter and @ConvoXDesign with an ‘X” on Facebook and Instagram. You can also find videos from these conversations on our YouTube channel, again search Convo By Design and you will find over 120 videos from some of your favorite guests.

For most of human civilization we have lived with pain. Some of it is healthy in as much as it teaches us a lesson and keeps us away from danger in future but a lot of pain is debilitating. That s the reason some of the most popular medications we use are pain medications. From the ubiquitous Tylenol and Advil which you can buy at the convenience store, to the more sophisticated, prescription only pills, which we have come to know as "opioids." The reason we know the word "opioid" is that we hear it on the news, increasingly from politicians. They talk about "the opioid epidemic" that is reportedly sweeping some parts of the country. Here in New Orleans, most of us rate crime and murder as our number one problem. So it might surprise you to know that in 2016, for the first time in the history of the city, there were more accidental drug related deaths in New Orleans than murders. In other words, the opioid epidemic is here in New Orleans too. Peter s guests on Out to Lunch today are on the front line of treating it. Dan Forman is Founder, President and CEO of the Dependency Pain Treatment Center. The Dependency Pain Treatment Center is a company that provides out patient treatment to treat opioid use disorder and other symptoms of dependency pain at medical clinics around the greater New Orleans area. Else Pederson is CEO of Bridge House Grace House. Bridge House is for men and Grace House is for women. They are both long term residential treatment centers for people who have become dependent on drugs or alcohol. Else and Dan are coming at the same problem from different perspectives and with different techniques. Dan is running a for profit business, Else is running a non profit that is funded by donations and two businesses a second hand car yard and recycled clothing stores. Dan comes from a business background, Else comes rom a clinical background. This is an illuminating and fascinating conversation. Photos at Commander s Palace by Alison Moon.

  Imagine, read by the author, Libby O'Loghlin. Everyone remembers what they were doing when the news broke: when Kennedy was shot, when Princess Diana died, when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Centre. Yet everyday lives continued with their own ups and downs. The Bridge House anthology On This Day brings us a collection of short stories about those everyday lives and how they are gently connected with a world-shattering event.  Imagine is one of these stories. It follows young Cleopatra Smith as she navigates school friendships, the demise of a terminally ill aunt and the death of John Lennon. Libby O'Loghlin is an Australian who lives in Switzerland. A writer and editor by trade, she has taught scriptwriting at university level and writes regular reviews for UK gaming site, GamePeople. She is co-founder of the Nuance Words collective and co-curator of The Woolf literary e-zine.
