It feels like only yesterday that workforce challenges were the biggest problem facing the healthcare industry. While COVID-19-related staffing shortages may have declined, an inefficient workforce can still threaten health system operations and finances. Often, systems turn to staffing ratios or benchmarks to determine whether they need more cuts or more hires. However, systems need more than staffing ratios to make sure they have the right headcount and the right expertise in place to safely and effectively care for patients. The question is: if workforce benchmarks aren't enough, then what is? To answer that question, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board nursing expert Ali Knight to unpack the state of the workforce five years after the peak of COVID-19. Later, Rae brings on Optum Advisory workforce management experts Sherilynn Quist and Anne Schmidt to break down their work in the field, addressing what they call the “blocking and tackling” of workforce efficiency within a hospital.

Tomer Devorah #14 - "Broaden Your Perspective" by Rabbi Avi Harari

We recently wrapped up the story of Arkeene Broaden a young man who says he is innocent of the crime he's been convicted of but what does an expert think?As always it's time to catch up with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason' Mr Michael Leonard of Leonard trial lawyers in Chicargo Ilanois.________________________________________________________At 18 years old, Wayne County charged Arkeene and his 16-year-old friend, Cody Clark, with felony murder, robbery, conspiracy, and felony firearm in connection with the June 2015 shooting death of their close friend, Martez Johnson, at a house on Heyden Street around 10:00 PM.Authorities alleged that Arkeene drove Cody and Martez to meet Andre Thomas with the intent to rob Martez. They claimed that once they arrived, Cody and Martez went inside while Arkeene stayed in the car. Inside the house, Cody allegedly shot Martez in the head when Martez tried to escape.Arkeene demanded a trial, but after the jury was selected, his attorney passed away. The next attorney pushed him to accept a plea deal. Initially, the offer was for 18 years, then reduced to 14 years. Despite Arkeene repeatedly insisting on going to trial because of his innocence, the attorney continued pressuring him. Eventually, the plea offer was reduced to 8 years, plus an additional 2 years for the gun charge. The attorney warned that if Arkeene did not take the deal, he would face life in prison.Young, afraid, and unfamiliar with the legal system, Arkeene ultimately accepted the plea deal to avoid the possibility of a life sentence. He now believes that if he had been aware of all the evidence, he would have rejected the plea and insisted on going to trial.Later, Arkeene's family hired Professional Investigator Steve Crane from ACS Professional Investigations to conduct a proper investigation into the case. This is what they found. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

REPLAY: This episode is from the vault and premiered on November 23, 2022. Sabs Katz, a dynamic creator and co-founder of Intersectional Environmentalists, joins us for a conversation that sheds light on the entwined paths of identity, activism, and environmentalism. Sabs courageously shares their experiences confronting anti-Semitism while navigating the world of social justice and environmental advocacy through a Jewish and vegan lens. We explore the vital role of setting boundaries with media and the importance of acknowledging diverse perspectives to create a more inclusive movement that tackles pressing social issues like the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Our discussion takes an intriguing turn as Sabs reveals how adopting a vegan and zero-waste lifestyle transformed their approach to sustainability. Initially skeptical of aligning with advertising, they discovered its potential to deliver powerful sustainability messages. Together, we examine the dual nature of social media in activism, recognizing its power to amplify voices and create inclusive spaces for change. We touch on eco-anxiety and the hurdles posed by systemic barriers, yet find hope in effective communication and acknowledging solutions that inspire climate action. We celebrate the mission of Intersectional Environmentalists, where Sabs and their co-founders aim to blend social justice with environmentalism through community engagement and digital initiatives like Earth Sessions. Sabs shares personal stories of sustainable fashion, finding inspiration in vintage family pieces, and the broader implications of mindful shopping. Through these narratives, we embrace the power of creative wardrobe choices and the joy they bring, highlighting how these acts resonate deeply in the quest for a sustainable future. Guest Bio: Sabs Katz (she/her) is a Brooklyn-based advocate of conscious, intentional, and holistic living. She aims to inspire and empower others through low-waste living, ethical + secondhand fashion, plant-based eating, conscious consumerism, and personal health + wellness.

Sometimes, you have to travel far to learn about things close to home—like your finances.They say that “travel is broadening”—that it expands your horizons and increases your understanding of how things really work. Sharon Epps experienced that recently on the tram in the Netherlands, and today, she'll share some financial lessons she learned along the way. Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Faith, Finance, and the TramDuring a recent Christmas visit to The Hague, Sharon enjoyed time with her family and learned valuable lessons riding the Dutch tram system. These lessons beautifully parallel financial wisdom rooted in faith. Let's explore these five lessons and how they can guide us in making faith-filled financial decisions.1. Plan in AdvanceBefore boarding the tram, you need to purchase a card or use an app like Apple Pay—cash isn't accepted. If you're unprepared, you'll find yourself stuck.Financial Takeaway: Life transitions and financial goals require preparation. Proverbs 21:5 reminds us, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” Look ahead and make thoughtful plans for the future.2. Make Decisions Based on PrinciplesInterestingly, there are no instructions on using the card readers. Observing others reveals the steps: scan in when boarding and scan out when exiting. It's a system based on principles rather than explicit instructions.Financial Takeaway: Life doesn't come with a step-by-step manual for every situation. However, God's Word is full of enduring principles. Base your financial decisions on these, rather than rigid rules, to stay aligned with His will.3. Avoid Decision-Making TrapsSharon missed her tram stop because she was looking in the wrong direction. She realized too late that the doors she needed were behind her.Financial Takeaway: Evaluate multiple alternatives before making decisions. Avoid getting stuck with the first option that comes to mind, as it might not be the best one. Broaden your perspective to avoid costly mistakes.4. Seek Godly CounselAfter missing her stop, Sharon was unsure what to do next. A kind pair of Dutch women guided her to the next stop and helped her find her way back.Financial Takeaway: Life is full of unexpected turns. Seeking wisdom from God and godly counselors can help you navigate challenges and make wise choices. Proverbs 15:22 teaches, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”5. Know What You HaveAfter several rides, Sharon realized she needed to check the balance on her tram card and top it up.Financial Takeaway: Just as you must track the balance on your card, you need to know the condition of your financial resources. Proverbs 27:23–24 reminds us, “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever.” Awareness of your financial position is crucial for wise stewardship.Life Moves Fast—Stay PreparedRiding a tram requires quick decision-making—boarding, exiting, and navigating—all while staying prepared for the next leg of the journey. Financial decisions can feel the same way. By applying these five lessons—planning ahead, basing decisions on principles, avoiding traps, seeking counsel, and staying informed—you'll be better equipped to navigate life's financial challenges.If we adopt these principles in our financial decision-making, we won't find ourselves getting off at the wrong stop and scrambling to figure out our way back.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a seven-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter, and I'd like to know how to begin investing in her college education.Can I roll my TSP over to an IRA? I'm getting ready to retire within the next five years, and I was told that if I did, the amount would be fixed and could only go up. However, I could still keep my TSP open and contribute to it. Would that be a wise move?I had a CD for $10,000 that matured, and I told the bank to reinvest it. It ended up being $10,210. Do I have to pay taxes on the $210 profit when I file my income taxes?I have been steadily losing money in the TCW MetWest Total Return Fund, and I would like to switch to a Timothy Fund. I'm 80 years old, so I want to change it to something that would make me a little money and keep the fees low.

If you want to be successful and rich, but something always seems to be standing in your way, you might be making one of the most common mistakes that prevent us from getting more money. Financial experts and world-famous business magnates and Facebook COO share some simple rules how to make more money and save it. In her book Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Barbara Stanny explains that women who don't earn much have a lot in common. Too many of them are ready to settle for a lower salary because they underestimate themselves as professionals and even see their achievements as a mere coincidence or just good luck. On the other hand, men tend to overestimate their professional skills, and that's what helps them climb to the top. All work must be paid for and working on your own time is only acceptable in rare emergency situations. If your responsibilities have increased but your salary hasn't, don't be afraid to ask for a promotion. There are lots of reasons why people spend more time at work than they are scheduled: poor time management, an urge to show that you're a super responsible employee and having confidence in your own indispensability. But constantly working overtime won't help you earn more money at all. If you love your job, you'll do it with pleasure and excitement, helping you increase productivity. And your boss will notice your sincere devotion and enthusiasm and become interested in your professional growth. If you're scared to make a complete change right away, take small steps towards your dream job. Money can open a lot of doors for you, but it shouldn't be the primary reason for having a certain job.

Today's episode, titled "Rethinking Weapon Play in Classrooms: Balancing Safety, Learning, and Playful Exploration," takes us on a journey through personal experiences, societal implications, and educational strategies around the often controversial topic of weapon play in early childhood settings. Host Roberto Germán is joined by two distinguished guests: Kisa Marx, an author and anti-racist curriculum developer, and Samuel Broaden, an early education expert and speaker. Together, they bring a wealth of insight from their personal backgrounds and professional experiences.

Their discussion brings to light the complex layers of safety, racial dynamics, and the developmental importance of imaginative play. Through this episode, we uncover how children use weapon play to explore power, consent, and kindness, and why it's essential for educators to approach this subject with empathy and an open mind. We also delve into broader themes of boundaries versus rules in classrooms, the importance of continuous dialogue, and the unique challenges faced by educators today. Stay tuned as we navigate these intricacies, providing practical insights and strategies for creating a balanced and inclusive learning environment. And don't miss out on their collaborative work, "Rethinking Weapon Play in Early Childhood: How to Encourage Imagination, Kindness, and Consent in Your Classroom," available widely for those looking to dive deeper into this transformative approach.
