Podcasts about Closing the Gap

The federal government has released its latest report card on its Closing the Gap targets, which are meant to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians. The data shows just four of the 19 targets are on track. Anthony Albanese has used his annual closing the gap speech on Thursday to announce a $144 million boost to Indigenous health to upgrade more than 100 services in cities and regional areas. But some - like the incarceration rates of First Nations people - continue to worsen. - Федеральное правительство опубликовало новый отчет о достижении целей программы Closing the Gap, направленной на улучшение жизни представителей коренных народов Австралии.

Federal Liberal MP Angus Taylor has outlined his vision for the party, as he prepares to challenge Sussan Ley's leadership.The Liberal party room will meet at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to vote on a leadership spill.Mr Taylor has confirmed he intends to run for the top job.  In a 90-second statement in the House of Representatives to pitch his vision - he's said Australia needs less government, less spending, less taxes, and less regulation.The Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy is urging states and territories to deliver on their commitments to closing the gap in health and social outcomes for First Nations people.The federal government has announced new funding of $144 million to repair Aboriginal health clinics and nearly $300 million to create more jobs in remote communities.But with only four out of 19 Closing the Gap targets on track, the Minister says she's considering penalties on states and territories that fail to meet their targets.Israeli President Isaac Herzog has attended a Jewish community event in Melbourne, in the latest stop on his four day Australian tour.A small group of pro-Palestinian protesters was kept well away from the President by a huge police and security presence as the Israeli leader arrived for the official event in Southbank.The group chanted slogans including "arrest Herzog now" - while a small separate group waved Israeli and Iranian flags from the other side of the police barricade. 

You've made the plan. You've set the goal. You even want it more than anything. So why do you keep falling off? In this final episode of The Vault series on building the skill of consistency, we're exploring one of the most critical (and overlooked) pieces of sustainable change: your willingness. It's not about whether you want it. It's not about whether you know what to do. It's about whether your plans match what you're actually willing to do — consistently. Inside this episode: Why aspiration-based plans fail How to find your current "willingness threshold" Why lowering the bar (temporarily) helps you move forward faster How your willingness shifts — and how to use that to your advantage This episode is a must-listen if you've ever said: "I know what to do. I just don't do it." Let's close out this 10-part series strong — with the mindset shift that makes everything else stick.

When it comes to serious health issues like obesity, heart disease, and cancer, Black Americans have higher rates and worse outcomes than most other groups in the U.S. It's a problem that's gained growing attention over the past few decades, as public health experts have worked to untangle the causes of these disparities, and to find ways of mitigating their effects. Now those efforts face serious headwinds, with federal funding cuts and pressure against DEI measures threatening to roll back progress. But in the face of these challenges, providers are doubling down on offering care that builds trust and delivers better outcomes. On this special production of The Pulse, we find out what that work looks like on the ground. From becoming an ally to patients to mentoring the next generation of Black physicians, we'll hear how providers are expanding access to quality care. We'll also explore how the birth of Medicare led to the desegregation of hospitals. Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford is changing the way we talk about obesity, and how we treat it. She explains why she got into obesity medicine in the first place, why she never gives her patients a goal weight, and how being invited to a patient's 90th birthday party was a great reminder of why her work matters. Pulse producer Nichole Currie gets into the kitchen with her aunt Gladys McLean to learn how to enjoy traditional Southern recipes while eating a healthy and nutritious diet. Physician, surgeon, and now-congressional candidate Ala Stanford gained national recognition during the pandemic, when she stepped up to provide COVID testing, and later vaccines, to underserved communities. She talks about how her own upbringing shaped her as a physician and leader —- and why increasing access and trust are key for better care.

You know what's wrong — so why hasn't anything changed?Why do you keep thinking, “I'm so aware of this… shouldn't that be enough by now?”You've named the pattern a hundred times. Burnout. Overwhelm. Autopilot. You've tried fixing it (therapy, routines, tools, discipline) and somehow you still end up right back here. Knowing isn't the problem anymore. It's the part that comes after.In this episode, we sit in that frustrating gap between awareness and actual change. Not to judge it or rush past it — but to understand what's really keeping you stuck. This is about loosening the anchor underneath the pattern, not adding another thing to your to-do list.You'll be guided to reflect on:Why insight alone hasn't created the shift you expectedThe hidden belief that keeps stress and busyness feeling “safer”How solutions can fail when the root is left untouchedWhat it looks like to go beyond awareness and into real changeBy the end, you won't feel like you need to try harder or do more. You'll feel steadier, clearer, and less at war with yourself — with a new way to approach change that actually sticks.Resources Mentioned:Free Calm Mind Blueprint: http://www.samanthapenkoff.com/calm-mind-podNewsletter: www.samanthapenkoff.com/promptsWork with me:90 min Breakthrough Intensives - You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting.

This episode goes deep into the reality of fire behaviour as it actually shows up on the fireground, not the simplified version many of us were taught early on. Matt and I talk about how modern fuels, building design and ventilation have changed the speed and violence of fire development, why smoke is often the biggest killer in the room, and how firefighters still get caught out by flow paths, rapid fire development and unseen pyrolysis. We get into high rise and complex buildings, wildfire versus structural thinking, decision making under pressure, and the gap that still exists between contemporary fire science and legacy doctrine. This is a practical conversation aimed squarely at improving how firefighters read fire, make decisions, and stay alive when the margins are thin and the consequences are high.Matt Davis is a Station Officer with the Tasmania Fire Service and a twenty one year veteran of the job, with deep experience across structural firefighting, wildfire, fire investigation, and instructor development. He has led strike teams on campaign fires, developed high rise and complex building training at an organisational level, and delivered fire behaviour education to firefighters, volunteers and specialist agencies across Australia and internationally. Alongside his operational career, Matt is the creator of one of the most respected fire behaviour education channels on YouTube, known for breaking down complex fire science into clear, honest and usable lessons. He brings academic rigour, operational credibility and a calm refusal to accept nonsense, making this conversation one every firefighter, instructor and officer should spend time with.Find Matts YOUTUBE HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydraSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

When you Bridge the Gap, you step into the space between who you were and who you are called to be. In the Trap, we learn that wealth is not just about the numbers on a chart. It is about the mindset, the discipline, and the spiritual conviction that you deserve more than survival mode. GOD did not design you to stay stuck on the sidewalk of your story. He built you to cross over, to elevate, to move from confusion to clarity, from fear to faith, from consumer to owner. In the market, just like in life, your breakthrough comes when you stop reacting and start owning. Every share you buy is a declaration that you refuse to be trapped by circumstance. Every investment is a seed you plant in the soil of your future self. Bridge the gap by aligning your spirit, your strategy, and your sacrifices. And once you cross, do not just level up. Bring your people with you. That is how we build wealth. That is how we build legacy. That is how we Trap differently.Closing the GAP | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 171) Trappin TuesdaysJoin our Exclusive Patreon!!!

How do you guide a workforce through the fastest shift in technology most of us have seen in our careers? That question shaped my conversation with David Martin from BCG, who works at the intersection of talent, culture, and AI. He joined me from New York, with Amelia listening in, and quickly painted a clear picture of what is really happening inside global enterprises right now. We started with the widening split between AI fluent teams and those stuck in endless pilots. David explained why the organizations getting results are the ones doing fewer things with far greater ambition. Many others scatter energy across small use cases, save minutes instead of hours, and never reach a scale where value becomes visible. Training surfaced early as one of the biggest gaps. Not surface level workshops, but the deeper hands-on learning that helps people change how they work. David described why frontline teams lag behind, why engineers still miss major capabilities, and how leadership behaviour dramatically affects adoption. Curiosity and communication play a bigger role than most expect. We explored the move from isolated AI experiments to real workflow transformation. David shared examples from engineering, customer service, and operations where companies are finally seeing measurable results. He also explained why agents remain underused, with hesitation, data quality, and unfamiliarity still slowing progress. Shadow AI added another layer, with half of workers already using tools outside corporate systems. The conversation returned often to people. David outlined BCG's 10-20-70 rule, showing why technology is never the main bottleneck. Culture, roles, and process make or break outcomes. Leaders who provide clarity and a sense of direction see faster adoption. Those who remain hesitant create uncertainty that spreads across teams almost instantly. As we looked toward 2026, David shared cautious optimism. He sees huge potential in areas like healthcare and sustainability, along with a wave of workflow redesign that will reshape daily work. His own learning habits are simple, from podcasts to regular reading, and driven by a desire to set a strong example for his children as they grow into a world shaped by AI. If you want a grounded view of where AI is genuinely delivering change, this conversation offers rare clarity. What resonates with you most from David's perspective, and how will you approach your own learning in the year ahead? I would love to hear your thoughts.   Tech Talks Daily is Sponsored By Denodo.

Support this podcasthttps://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddyIn this episode of DRUM with Mike & Eddy, we dive into something every drummer and musician deals with but rarely talks about: the gap between who you are on the kit when you're alone and who you are when it really counts—on stage, in the studio, at a clinic, or even just filming content for social media.We start with life on tour, questionable hotel hygiene, and why the perception of “rockstar life” is hilariously different from the reality of chasing a decent bathtub and clean sheets. From there, we get into the real heart of it: nerves, imposter syndrome, and why playing in front of drummers feels so different than playing for a regular audience.Eddy shares how arenas, drum shows, and that Busted drum feature with Harry can be a mental challenge, and I talk about why recording sessions and drum clinics have historically been the biggest mental battles for me. We break down the idea of closing the gap through reps, preparation, accepting that you'll always feel a little different in high-pressure situations, and understanding your role in every musical setting.If you've ever thought, “Why can't I play like I do at home when it matters most?”, this one's for you.Take a screenshot while you're listening, throw it in your stories, and tag us @mikeslessons and @eddythrower so we know you're out there hanging with us!Support the show

Most IT teams can't meet their recovery time objective—and they don't even know it. In this episode of The Backup Wrap-up, Curtis and Prasanna explain why your RTO is probably fantasy, who should actually be setting it (hint: not you), and what recovery time actual really means. We cover the critical difference between objectives and reality, why testing is non-negotiable, and how to have honest conversations with business leadership about what's achievable. Learn about DR drills, chaos engineering, tabletop exercises, and why measuring your actual recovery times is the only way to close the gap. Stop feeling like a failure and start building realistic, tested recovery plans that actually work when disaster strikes.

But not all patients may be reaching their treatment goals and can continue to face substantial residual risk despite the use of quadruple pharmacologic guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and medical devices. A soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator that targets a previously unaddressed pathway in HFrEF and complements other GDMT may provide an incremental benefit to patients to positively impact outcomes. =

There was a time when a computer science degree almost guaranteed a fast track into a well-paid career. But that promise is slipping. In today's Tech Talks Daily episode, I reconnect with Hans de Visser, Chief Technology Officer at Mendix, to discuss why recent graduates are finding it more challenging than ever to secure their first role in technology, and what they can do about it. Hans brings decades of experience in software engineering and low-code innovation, and his perspective on today's market is both sobering and optimistic. We discuss new research indicating a sharp decline in junior developer openings since 2024 and explore how the rapid rise of AI has altered the hiring equation.  The expectation now is that young developers arrive fluent in automation, generative AI, and multidisciplinary tools —skills that few university programs can thoroughly teach. Yet, as Hans points out, this doesn't mean opportunity has vanished. It just looks different. Our conversation unpacks what this new reality means for aspiring developers. Hans explains how Mendix evaluates candidates by testing their ability to think critically about AI-assisted code rather than generate it.  He explains why graduates must master both traditional software foundations and modern tools, such as low-code platforms and agile applications. And he offers advice on building a mindset of lifelong learning, staying curious, experimenting with new tools, and understanding how AI can amplify rather than replace human creativity. For anyone feeling disheartened by the tightening job market, Hans offers balance and hope. He believes that as the definition of software developer evolves, new hybrid roles will emerge at the intersection of business, creativity, and technology. The graduates who will thrive are those who treat AI as a collaborator, not a competitor. Listen to this episode to hear how Mendix is helping redefine what it means to build software in the age of AI, and why today's tech graduates may need to think less about securing a single job title and more about creating a career that never stops learning.

When life gets tough, faith keeps running.

In this podcast, Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips discuss closing the gap between buyer and seller pricing expectations with the home guarantee scheme, why vendors should focus on what's happening inside their own market, and specific advice agents need to share with buyers.

When you've experienced the love of Christ, you can't keep it to yourself. This message unpacks what it means to live “in Christ” — seeing others through His eyes and helping them find their way back to God. We're not just saved from something; we're saved for something.

Too many organizations treat crisis simulations and tabletop exercises as the finish line, when in reality they're just the starting point. In this episode, Rob Burton explores why the real value lies in what comes after the exercise: prioritizing findings, assigning ownership, keeping leadership engaged, and measuring improvement. Rob shares common challenges resilience leaders face,... The post Closing the Gap: Turning After-Action Findings into Real Resilience appeared first on PreparedEx.

In this message, we dive into Paul's teaching on the armor of God and discover the vital role prayer plays in closing the gap between salvation and sanctification. Prayer isn't just a casual habit—it's the weapon God gives us to stand strong, resist the enemy, and invite His power into every part of our lives. We'll explore what it means to “pray in the Spirit,” persevere in prayer, and live in constant communion with God so our faith grows deeper and stronger every day.

This week, we're diving into what may be one of the most important steps in our spiritual growth, renewing our minds. Most of us can relate to the gap between who we are now and who we know God is calling us to be. But as Romans 12:2 teaches us, transformation doesn't begin with willpower, it begins with our thought patterns. Whether it's the decisions we make, the beliefs we hold, or the purpose we chase, there's a daily battle going on for our minds. We'll explore how the world's broken ways of thinking creep into our lives and how, through God's Word, prayer, and community, we can learn to think like Jesus thinks. Let's close the gap between the life we're living and the life we were created for! Follow us for more weekly messages from Eastside pastors!
