Dr. Charmain Jackman (she/her), founder and CEO of InnoPsych, delivered the closing keynote at the Black Religion and Mental Health Symposium. Professor Ahmad Greene-Hayes (Harvard Divinity School) and Professor George Aumoithe (FAS, History and African and African American Studies) proposed this two-day interdisciplinary symposium, integrating mind, brain, and behavior insights into the exploration of Black religious practices and their impact on mental health. They questioned how Black religious spaces can enhance mental health outcomes, considering their dual role as sanctuaries and potential impediments to open discourse. The symposium brought together experts from history, public health, psychiatry, African American studies, religious studies, and civic society, focusing on understanding the neurobiological and socio-behavioral dynamics contributing to mental health stigmatization within Black communities. The symposium aimed to illuminate how societal stressors, such as racism, influence brain function and behavior, thereby affecting mental health, while also exploring resilience mechanisms among Black religious communities. This project aligns with the Harvard Mind Brain Behavior Interfaculty Initiative's mission of facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration to address complex issues, contributing to a broader understanding of the interplay between mind, brain, and behavior in the context of Black mental health. This event took place on March 1, 2024.

[2:39] The RIMS Risk Manager of the Year program aims to raise the profile of the risk management profession and the outstanding programs the honorees have implemented within their organizations. The program was initiated in 1977 and the Risk Management Honor Roll was added in 1981. [2:56] The 2024 RIMS Risk Manager of the Year is Steven Robles. Steve was recognized for his work as the Assistant CEO for the County of Los Angeles. He's featured in the special Awards Edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine. On Wednesday, May 8th, at 2:10 p.m., Steve and I will be at the Global Studio to extend this dialog. [3:21] Right now, we're going to have a lot of fun! We're going to talk about highlights of the past year and his career and what it means to be Assistant CEO for a major county in the United States of America. RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024, Steven Robles, welcome to RIMSCast! [3:56] Steve is excited to be a guest on RIMScast! Steve says it's extremely humbling to be RIMS 2024 Risk Manager of the Year. He has spent his entire career in risk management and to be honored like this is just an amazing feeling. It's wonderful to know all the people who have helped him in his career; Steve shares his award with them. We cannot do our jobs by ourselves. [4:56] The Awards edition of Risk Management magazine has a wonderful article by Justin that details Steve's career, especially the last couple of years and his work at LA County. The article's link is in this episode's show notes. [5:30] Steve was with San Bernardino County for almost 23 years; it was a lot of fun. He started his risk management career as a safety officer there. He worked with the Sheriff's department to ensure they were safe when they raided drug labs. He worked with all kinds of wonderful professionals. That's what got him hooked. [6:41] The department Steve worked in at San Bernardino County was the Risk Management Department. From Safety, Steve progressed to Workers' Comp, Liability, Insurance, Indemnification, Contracts, and Finance. As he built his skill set and supervisory experience, he realized he could run the department. After 10 years, his goal was to head the department. [8:58] Justin points out a great takeaway for the audience: Build your skill set, build your network, and when the time is right, present yourself for promotion. [9:33] Steve's friends told him not to take the job at LA County. Steve likes to organize and he saw there was disorder to organize. In his home, he likes to do tile work. He saw the opportunity to do some good for a place that was a good fit for him. Steve loves LA County. It was a major seven-day-a-week commitment. He got his family to buy into it. Fortunately, his kids were grown. [12:40] RIMS plug time! For RIMS Virtual Workshops, visit RIMS.org/virtualworkshops to see the full calendar.

This is a great way to stay on schedule. [13:58] Back to the interview! Steve describes the extremely extensive interview process for the position at LA County. The panel and questions were pretty standard about Steve's experience and philosophy on building a risk management program. Once he made the first cut, he had to interview with each elected official on the Board of Supervisors and their Chief of Staff. [14:52] There were five Supervisors. He spent about two hours with each of them, over a week. After they approved him, he sat with the CEO. He wanted to have a direct report to the CEO. They met for about two hours. By the time he started his first day, it felt like he had worked a week. [16:06] Steve says the CEO was great. Steve learned from the CEO during the interview that he had worked with Steve's mom in a previous job and she had trained him on a lot of things in personnel! Steve said getting to know the board members and the CEO on a human level helped him a lot. Steve told his mom and she said, “Oh I know him, tell him, Hi!” [17:34] Justin recalls when he got an internship at a major television network because his grandmother knew the mother of the marketing director. Leverage every family connection you can! Steve's wife also has a family connection with one of the Board Supervisors and he name-dropped her as well. [18:13] Steve is easy to get along with. He tells how that helped him to bring people along to where he wanted to go on a program or initiative. He knew he needed other people on board. He started by building a story. Risk managers need to be good storytellers. Use humor to put people at ease and allow them to share their true thoughts. A better idea may come up in discussion. [19:40] Steve calls this conversation controlled chaos. [20:17] Steve made privacy and cyber a top concern. These concerns went hand-in-hand. One of the issues at Los Angeles County was that their technology was extremely disjointed. Seven computer systems housed seven different data sets to administer risk management and the county council program. [20:49] None of the systems communicated with each other but all systems had the same type of personal data and connected through the internet. That made seven different exposures. Steven developed a comprehensive system to consolidate the seven systems. Steven paid attention to the cyber aspects and privacy aspects of managing how the data got out. [21:34] This was in 2013. Offices involved were the CEO, Health System, Jail System, Social Services System, and other county systems, which had the same challenges. Their first milestone was when they had a breach! It helped to have something occur so Steven could build from the chaos. It was a wake-up call. [22:48] The breach springboarded the county departments to collaborate in their efforts to control cyber. Steven tells why the breach didn't threaten his job. He always says, “I don't know what's going to happen but I know we need to be prepared for something happening. And this is how we prepare for these types of things.” [24:13] That means we need to have an emergency communication policy with collaboration on handling disasters. We need to prepare for what we don't know yet. As emerging risks came up, Steve brought them up. He brought up cyber and privacy long before there was a data breach. There was an emphasis on how they would respond to it. Steve also brought up AI years ago. [24:49] Steve doesn't know yet how AI is going to be a risk to us, but it's going to be a risk and we need to prepare for it. [24:58] One more RIMS Plug break! Webinars! Our friends from TÜV SÜD GRC will return on May 23rd with Respond to Emerging Risks with a Winning Property Loss Control Formula. On June 6th, Evident ID makes its RIMS Webinar debut with Uncovering Hidden Risks in Your Third-Party Risk Management Program.

Remember, product sales pitches are not acceptable nor appropriate as part of the RIMS ERM Conference Education Program. [26:50] Back to the interview with RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024, Steve Robles! Cyber and privacy kind of define the challenges of Los Angeles County because it's so big. The size of the organization is the challenge. There are 100K employees and a county budget of $46 billion. All that money is being spent somewhere. When money is being spent, a risk is associated with it. [27:36] The risk could be where to invest the money without losing it, to the costs of deploying staff. When you see analytics pointing to some future risks, how do you get the channel open to communicate it to the right people and get their buy-in to deploy risk prevention tactics? [28:38] Steve connected to his risk professional counterparts in other counties. He would call his counterparts in Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernadino, San Francisco, and other counties around. “Have you seen this trend?” or “I think we've got fraud here, what do you guys think and what have you done about it?” They would share information on many topics.  [29:17] If it was in LA County, either other counties saw it first or they were trying to find out how LA County dealt with it. Steve would tap into his network of public sector risk professionals that went back to San Bernadino and the subject matter experts the county employed. He has known them for decades. They learned at the same time with different views of the same experience. [30:19] It broadens you to meet with other risk managers who came up through different paths and have different viewpoints that enrich you if you take in that information so you can make good executive decisions. [31:05] Steve had the greatest of all worlds at LA County because he had a great direct reporting relationship with the CEO and Board of Supervisors. He sees that other public sector entities do not have the same relationship between the risk managers and the CEOs. They report to a lower-level manager or human resources. [31:38] Risk management should be a strategic partnership for the direction of the organization and the person you report to should have a direct influence on how that strategy moves forward. [32:21] Steve's former coworkers were his succession. Every year in LA County, Steve brought his staff together to help put together the strategic initiative. It brought them together as a team and they enriched each others' knowledge base. As time progressed, many of them became qualified in all aspects of risk management. Steve was planning his succession from Day 1. [33:26] Now, LA County has an interim risk manager, Destiny Castro, who was Steve's operations manager. What Steve told Destiny is “You can do this job. What you'll be surprised by is how fast things come at you. They come at you fast and there's not really a day off! You're the decision-maker.” On May 8th, at 2:10 p.m., please go over to the Global Studio and check out RIMScast Live for a special session with RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024, Steve Robles. Steve received the award for his fantastic work with LA County. We will discuss his career and we will give all of you a chance to ask him anything that's on your mind. [34:40] Steve has participated in a lot of the events of the RIMS LA Chapter. It's not just public entities there; it's rewarding to see so many perspectives represented by private entities. Steve feels relaxed there with his clan who share his experiences. There are good side discussions that go on with the vendors as well as the members. [35:50] Steve has spoken at some universities that have either established or up-and-coming risk and safety programs they are trying to expand. The students are fantastic and have great questions. Steve explains that risk management is not insurance; it's exciting. Anything bad you see in the news, you're a part of it! [37:28] Steve's advice for the next generation of risk managers: “Have a clear career path. Find your passion; what you're passionate about is where you should go. There are so many different directions you can go in risk management. My passion was organizing the mess; I wanted a position where I could put those pieces together. But there's so much more you can do.” [38:02] “If you like contracts or if you like dealing with the human aspect of it you can go into claims. You take your personality and understand yourself and then find something that fosters that in your risk management career.” [38:41] Steve says to enjoy yourself. Look at challenges as a game, as a chess match. Something is happening on the right side of the board and you need to position yourself to corner that risk, person, or whatever. It calms you down so you can think clearly about the steps that are going to be needed to win that game. [39:28] Steve, I want to congratulate you again on being named RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024. Do you have your speech prepared? (Steve is ready!) We're going to see you onstage on the morning of May 6th and spread the love! [39:58] Special thanks again to RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024 Steve Robles for joining us.

"What Do We Owe One Another In Cybersecurity?" As the cybersecurity ecosystem evolves, we understand more about how interconnected we are: the ripple effects from breaches, the fact that supply chains aren't discrete lines but rather a web, and that mapping our vulnerabilities is harder than we thought. In this session, Wendy Nather will talk about the concept of civic duty on the Internet — not just sporadic charity efforts or "nice to have" information sharing, but the social norms and obligations we should face together if we want a sustainable world of technology. Shared risk requires shared defense. About the speaker: Wendy Nather leads the Advisory CISO team at Cisco. She was previously the Research Director at the Retail ISAC, and Research Director of the Information Security Practice at 451 Research. Wendy led IT security for the EMEA region of the investment banking division of Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS), and served as CISO of the Texas Education Agency. She was inducted into the Infosecurity Europe Hall of Fame in 2021. Wendy serves on the advisory board for Sightline Security. She is a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative, as well as a Senior Cybersecurity Fellow at the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law at the University of Texas at Austin.

S4, E2: In September 2021, Duolingo, the world's most popular language-learning platform, had 50,000 TikTok followers. As of late January of this year, it had 5.7 million. That increase is due in large part to Zaria Parvez, Duolingo's global social media manager and one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 in social media last year. Zaria is this year's closing keynote at NCMPR Under the Sun. She shares how she achieved that monumental goal. Hint: You can't achieve it if you don't trust your audience. And it doesn't hurt if the face of your brand is an unhinged owl. -- A New Job Comes to the College Cabinet: Chief Experience Officer (The Chronicle of Higher Education)

Closing Keynote Powered by MotorCity Casino Hotel: “If You Want It, Come and Get It, For Crying Out Loud!” (Taking Ownership for Advancing Your Career in This New Remote Work Environment) The pandemic has turned our world upside down and disrupted and transformed the way we live and work. Most people are still working remotely today. Some of you haven't seen your direct manager or team in person for over a year. One thing is for certain, we will not be returning to a traditional work environment any time soon, or maybe never again. Today's remote work environment has its benefits. However, when you swing the pendulum too far, it can also result in setbacks and unintended consequences. One of those areas being challenged today is the effectiveness of developing new hires and next generational leaders remotely. The biggest concern and questions John hears today from Detroit Economic Club Young Leaders and others is, “How do I advance my career in this new remote work environment.” John plans to address this question head on, from your perspective and your leaders!!! Key Takeaways: Recalibrate your mindset during these opportunistic times Demystify what your executives are looking for in future leaders and how they make these decisions Learn specific proven strategies for differentiating yourself in a remote work environment that will payback greatly during your reviews How to expand your network and proactively build meaningful relationships that will enthusiastically participate in your development and support you when you're not in the room Promote yourself from the passenger seat to the driver's seat, and hopefully never relinquish your career path steering wheel again The simple secret of success, for young ambitious leaders (Must be present to receive) Get ready to promote yourself. For those who are not afraid of getting out of their comfort zones and taking ownership for your destiny, there has never been a better time to differentiate your value and advance your career. If you want it, come and get it, for crying out loud!!!

Beyond the Visual, a symposium reflecting on what blindness brings to the experience of art within cultural organisations and beyond was held at Wellcome Collection on Friday and Saturday 21 and 22 October 2022.   Visually impaired and sighted Speakers at the symposium included artists, creative practitioners, disability activists, historians, researchers and scientists together to not only to talk about inclusion and access to the arts for blind and partially sighted people but also to talk about what blind and partially sighted people can bring to cultural experiences for all. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was there for both days of the symposium catching up with some of the key people behind Beyond the Visual and some of the key speakers too. In the sixth of Toby's interviews from the symposium he chats with Georgina Kleege, an American Author and Academic who gave the closing keynote speech of the symposium reflecting on the past 20 years of experiencing art as a blind person. Georgina has written extensively on experiencing art as a blind person and closed the Beyond the Visual symposium with her keynote presentation titled, Repeating Myself: Reflections, Regrets and Resolutions. Georgina's  latest book, More than Meets the Eye: What Blindness Brings to Art (2018) is concerned with blindness and visual art: how blindness is represented in art, how blindness affects the lives of visual artists, how museums can make visual art accessible to people who are blind and visually impaired. Georgina told Toby what she will be covering in her keynote presentation, reflecting on many of her experiences of going to museums and galleries as a blind person and how inclusive and accessible  they were for her, what can be done to improve and build on some of the great work which has been done to make art more inclusive and accessible plus what she will take away from the symposium.

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Don Robins, a technical educator with a long history of training people on Salesforce. Don specifically explains the difference between just presenting to people versus teaching. He believes that what helps make great instructors is empathy since you're watching for the light to come on over someone's head and it's a joyous feeling.  Don also talks about how specialization is becoming more and more important in the industry, a natural trend when something begins to grow exponentially the way Salesforce has. Ultimately, at the core of Salesforce is a knowledge-sharing community and the technology that they have built to support it.  Show Highlights:   The difference between presenting and teaching The importance of specialization in the industry The motivation behind his PluralSight courses The impact of a knowledge-sharing community built around Salesforce Why it's not just translation, but localization when speaking to an audience with a different language  Don's formula for success The nature and dimensions of engagement Don's favorite non-technical hobbies   Links: Connect with Don Robins on these platforms: Twitter: https://twitter.com/donrobins LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/donaldrobins Github: https://github.com/forcementor Pluralsight course on "Salesforce Platform for Developers, the Big Picture": https://pluralsight.pxf.io/C0150 LinkedIn course on "The Serious Stack behind Salesforce": https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/serious-stack-behind-salesforce-developers-don-robins/ Punta Dreamin' 2018 Closing Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2kZmlAfTRY&t=1611s Play by Play catalog: http://www.sfplaybyplay.com Forcementor Training Partnership: www.forcementor.com

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, The Nature Conservancy's Chief Scientist and Atmospheric Scientist and Professor, Texas Tech University, shares her takeaways from COP26 and reviews her latest book, "Saving Us." In SAVING US: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World Dr. Hayhoe draws upon interdisciplinary research and personal stories to demonstrate that whether you're a parent or a person of faith, a beachgoer or a sports fan, a foodie or a travel junkie, climate change affects someone or something you care about, which means you already have power to act for change. While other books in this space offer doomsday scenarios, Hayhoe ‘s approach is optimistic and inclusive. She argues that climate action isn't about being a certain type of person or voting a certain way. It's about connecting with our communities based on the values we already have, to inspire collective action.

CLOSING KEYNOTE ADDRESS The Honorable Mark Wesley MenezesUnder Secretary of EnergyUnited States Department of Energy Global Energy Markets & US Energy Policy

CLOSING KEYNOTE – Empowerment for Change – Community: Leading in the New – In Pursuit of a Better World for All Key Takeaways: Leading organizational cultures that drive innovation prioritize the quest for empowerment at the core of their efforts. The role of the virtuous leader, with increased demand for compassion, vulnerability and courage to lead particularly in times of crisis. Corporate social responsibility has heightened focus on the moral and ethical obligations of a company with regards to their employees, the environment, their competitors, the economy and back to the communities in which they serve. Empowerment relies on a high degree of interconnectedness between individuals, businesses and communities. Partnerships between the public, private and non-profit sectors are no longer an option, they are essential. At the intersection of the for profit and nonprofit sectors, we are better positioned to challenge the assumptions about the way things are and more importantly can and should be. As business leaders, we have the added responsibility to model the behaviors and influence others to drive meaningful change. Speaker: Sumreen Ahmad Global Change Management Lead Accenture
