Health systems across the U.S. are staring down a stubborn talent gap—one that COVID-era lessons, hybrid training models, and employer partnerships are beginning to reshape. In Detroit, Houston and beyond, multi-billion-dollar expansions are colliding with persistent shortages, forcing new pathways into care careers. Meanwhile, loan-repayment and incumbent-worker funds are emerging as powerful levers to retain and advance talent.So here's the question practitioners and policymakers are asking: How do we build employer-aligned, hybrid training pipelines that produce day-one-ready healthcare talent—without saddling workers with unsustainable debt?In this episode of DisruptED, hosted by Ron J. Stefanski, guests Laurie Larrea, a workforce executive based in Texas, and Jason Aubrey, the CEO of Skilltrade, map the next chapter of healthcare workforce development. The conversation spans what worked (and didn't) with online learning during the pandemic, how to unlock clinical capacity for hands-on training, and why employer sponsorships and city-level coalitions are the accelerants the sector needs now.Key takeaways from the episode:From online to hybrid: Pure e-learning boosted access during COVID but fell short on clinical readiness; the winning model pairs flexible online coursework with hands-on labs in simulation centers, leased clinic space, or on-site employer “micro-campuses.”Employer-aligned pipelines: Skilltrade co-designs curricula with health systems (down to EHR workflows), taps underutilized facilities after hours, and uses incumbent-worker funds and tuition support to turn entry-level roles into debt-light, degree-bearing career ladders.Coalitions over silos: Workforce boards, higher-ed, employers, chambers, and mayors must meet regularly to align apprenticeships, pathways, and funding—especially as AI and automation reshape both clinical and non-clinical roles.A veteran workforce executive based in Texas, Laurie Larrea has led regional strategies from Greater Dallas to national initiatives. Through decades of leadership with the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Workforce Development Council, she's brokered city-employer-education partnerships, advanced hybrid upskilling models, and championed “aspirational hiring” to widen access to high-demand healthcare roles.Jason Aubrey is the founder and CEO of Skilltrade, building employer-aligned training for healthcare roles. Recruited at 27 to lead Med Search, he scaled the company before its sale to Stride. At Skilltrade, Aubrey's team leases clinical space after hours, partners with universities (e.g., simulation centers and transfer credit pathways), and deploys on-site labs to upskill incumbent workers—linking credentials to immediate roles and degree attainment.

Anna Shavit is one of Czechia's top experts on political marketing and has herself worked on campaigns for the likes of Karel Schwarzenberg and Andrej Babiš's ANO. So how does electioneering for October's general elections compare to previous years? And – going by her personal experience of the billionaire politician – would Mr. Babiš have any qualms about forming a government with anti-system parties? I discussed those questions and more with the Charles University academic.

It's a Paul Revere moment, “RFK Junior is coming!” Ben is joined by author and journalist Emily Bass and UCSF Professor Eric Goosby, co-host of the Global Health Diplomats podcast to diagnose and propose solutions to the Trump Administration's assault on US public health. From the hollowing out of the CDC, to vaccine skepticism at the heart of the federal leadership, and savage, unconstitutional cuts to public health home and abroad, they delve into the broader ramifications of these attacks on scientific integrity, US democracy and security. They round upon what could be profoundly damaging political consequences, particularly for Republicans, if the health of their voters' children and elderly relatives is put directly at risk by this willful dismantling of US public health services. And in conclusion, Ben, Eric and Emily explore how to support the emerging regional health coalitions of states, cities and professional bodies to fill the gap. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:50 Recent Developments in Global Health 02:08 Legal Challenges and Public Health Implications 03:18 Impact on Democracy and Public Health 12:04 Interview with Eric Goosby 14:27 Concerns About CDC and Public Health Surveillance 19:36 Future of Public Health and Science 34:46 Potential Solutions and Local Efforts 39:09 Coalitions and Surveillance Systems 44:23 Challenges in Public Health Funding 48:24 The Role of Philanthropy in Public Health 50:37 Political Ramifications and Public Health 56:22 Vaccine Misinformation and Public Trust 58:27 Accountability in Public Health Leadership 01:04:33 COVID Variants and Vaccination Strategies 01:10:27 Final Thoughts and Reflections Emily's Substack: https://substack.com/@emilysbass Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

Ira Chaleff Author 17 Quail Roost Lane Huntly, VA 22640 www.irachaleffauthor.com phone: 540 631 9026 cell: 240 994 0363 For anyone, anywhere on the political spectrum Ira Chaleff, an expert in political followership and one of the 100 “Best Minds in Leadership” (Leadership Excellence magazine) reveals how political followers can make or “brake” toxic leaders and what we can do —no matter our level of political influence or where we sit on the political spectrum— to support beneficial leaders and stop the rise of would-be tyrants. Political tyrants are one of the most destructive forces in the world, perpetrating mass oppression, suffering, war, and genocide. Unfortunately, we are no closer to eliminating this scourge of human political organization than we have ever been. Wherever you are on the political spectrum, you may have growing —even alarming— concerns about the potential impact of destructive political leaders on your country and those you love. You see increasing attempts by these leaders to use the power of the media and government to control the citizenry, enrich their cronies, turn ordinary people against each other, and weaken the checks and balances on which democracies depend. At the same time, you may feel despair about your ability to make a difference on the course of events or feel unsure of how to take a stand. Ira Chaleff, with his long and deep exposure to leadership and followership at high levels of government service and his extensive research into abuses of power, shows us that we, too, have power —and maybe more than we think. But it must be used in timely and politically savvy ways. Chaleff unpacks the choices for action available to us depending on our circle of influence in relation to the political leaders we support or oppose. He explores the pressures found in each of these circles and identifies windows of opportunity for interrupting a progression from governance to tyrannical rule. Chaleff reveals the follower's ability to make a tangible difference in preventing the rise and consolidation of toxic political leaders' power. He offers his readers a sense of real personal agency in place of feelings of helplessness and anxiety. Building on the success of his award-winning books, The Courageous Follower and Intelligent Disobedience, Chaleff's timely new book provides a mirror, a map, and guideposts for looking at ourselves and our ability to create better political leadership that we crave for our communities and our nation.

A vital examination of how social and economic justice organizations overcome resource disadvantages and build political power. Why do some coalitions triumph while others fall short? In Power to the Partners: Organizational Coalitions in Social Justice Advocacy, Maraam A. Dwidar documents the vital role of social and economic justice organizations in American politics and explores the process by which they strategically build partnerships to advance more effective and equitable advocacy. Using original data tracking the collaboration patterns of more than twenty thousand nationally active advocacy organizations, Dwidar evaluates the micro- and macro-level conditions surrounding these groups' successful efforts to collectively shape public policy. Power to the Partners reveals that while organizational advocates for social and economic justice are at a disadvantage in the American lobbying landscape--financially, tactically, and politically--coalition tactics can help ameliorate these disparities. By building and sustaining coalitions with structures and memberships that facilitate clarity, learning, and diverse perspectives, these advocates can successfully--and uniquely--make their mark on American public policy. Dwidar's work offers critical insights for scholars and practitioners alike--from groundbreaking academic findings to evidence-based lessons for political organizers. Maraam A.

Sienna Jackson, the CEO of Nortera.io, walks us through her unexpected shift from entertainment executive to impact strategist. Rather than chasing a title, she followed a thread—registering an LLC, collecting ideas, and finally stepping into work that aligned with her values. Now, she's helping professionalize the field of social impact by focusing on measurable outcomes, not slogans. From impact modeling to cross-sector coalitions, Sienna shows how complex change starts behind the scenes—with better systems, shared language, and a refusal to settle for surface-level good.Key Highlights of Our Interview:When Pivoting Isn't a Plan—but a Pattern“I just said, ‘I'm doing social impact now.' But it was a pattern—an arc I had been on for a while.”She slowly started buying domains, registering an LLC, and collecting ideas. By 2020, she sent one email—“I'm doing social impact now”—and launched into a new chapter that was already quietly in motion. Why ‘Impact' Needs More Than Good Intentions“Impact is the net positive change rendered as a direct and material result of your actions.”She calls out the performative fluff in corporate social messaging—empty slogans with no metrics behind them. Building the Back-End of Good“I learned about logic models, stakeholder analysis, systems mapping… It's data modeling, it's survey design.”Armed with two master's degrees, Sienna dove deep into IMM—impact management and measurement. She joined Social Value US to help professionalize the field with standards, surveys, and frameworks. Coalitions, Not Silos“The left hand often doesn't know what the right hand is doing. I see my role as making connections.”Sienna flags a recurring problem: siloed thinking. Her strength lies in speaking both, creating coalitions where collaboration and systems alignment make real change possible.Everyone Has a Piece of the Puzzle  “Go find the people who are already doing the work—and support them. That's where the results come from.”You don't have to start the movement; just roll up your sleeves and help those already in it. ___________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Sienna Jackson  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Welcome to CURE AMERICA - THIS WEEK, hosted by Donald T. Eason, Pastor and President of CURE (Center for Urban Renewal and Education). The episode delves into Eason's Israel trip, where President Isaac Herzog declared, “This is our land, blessed by God,” emphasizing Israel's divine claim and the need for accessibility to all. The panel—Kristen A. Ullman, JD (President of Eagle Forum), Jonathan Alexandre (Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Liberty Counsel), and Marty Dannenfelser (Vice President of Government Relations and Coalitions, CURE)—explores President Trump's trade negotiations with over 70 countries, efforts to lower interest rates, and a 2025 budget resolution funding national security, border security, and tax cuts. Discussions cover misinformation surrounding federal spending cuts, the benefits of reduced illegal immigration, and block grants to states for fiscal control, clarifying that “cuts” mean slowing spending growth.   In a one-on-one interview, Dr. OJ Oleka, CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, shares his family's journey from Nigerian immigrants arriving in 1980 to achieving the American Dream through faith, education, and hard work. The conversation highlights financial literacy, school choice, and tithing as tools to combat poverty, with Oleka noting the biblical call in Malachi to “test” God through tithing for abundant blessings. He directs viewers to sfof.com for resources on state financial officers' literacy initiatives. The episode concludes with a panel discussion on a Supreme Court case challenging Maryland's LGBTQ curriculum for elementary students, which denies parental opt-outs. Topics include the ideological nature of materials like Pride Puppy, the elitist dismissal of parental authority, the curriculum's impact on young children, and the diverse plaintiffs (Christian, Muslim, Ethiopian Orthodox) opposing it. The panel advocates for school choice and parental opt-out rights, urging viewers to contact Congress in this faith-driven call to action.

Most people don't know that there is a Congressional Arts Congress. There are arts folks that on a bi-partisan level advocate for The Arts, and so, artists, if you live somewhere remote, and ask how can I advocate, you might be reaching out to your Congress person, and say, "hey, do you want to join a Congressional Arts Caucus?" and [use their language and join. ~Erica Lauren OrtizErica Lauren Ortiz (she/her) is a seasoned non-profit leader, arts advocate, and creative producer with deep roots in theatre, media, and cultural strategy. She currently serves as the Lead of Advocacy & Governance Programs at Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization at the forefront of building a just and thriving theatre ecology.

Crossing Lines: Cross-Ethnic Coalitions in India and Prospects for Minority Representation (Routledge, 2024) explains why, how, and where ethnic political parties unexpectedly seek votes from non-coethnics and when voters support non-coethnic parties. It draws on case studies of three Indian states (Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan) and of Indian national elections to demonstrate how differences in party systems impact political party strategies and voter choices. It shows that multipolar party systems encourage political parties to provide physical security, representation, and economic benefits for minorities, especially Muslims, in India and as a result, foster cross-ethnic links between parties and voters. However, as political arenas become dominated by two or even one party, advocacy for the interests of marginalized groups declines, weakening cross-ethnic linkages. The book thus explains why representation and advocacy for Muslims in Uttar Pradesh and at the national level has alternated dramatically in the 21st century. Yash is a PhD candidate in Political Science at the School of Public and International Affairs, University of Cincinnati. His research is focused on the interactions of political mobilization and anti-minority violence within Hindu nationalist organizations in India.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Andrew Bayly: 3/10 It's a sad business. Was it a sackable offence? No. Does it put people off entering politics? I would have thought so. But when you call someone a loser and grab an arm, can you survive? It was the re-offence that was sackable. Law and order: 8/10 The violent crime stats and new detainment powers are tangible evidence of progress in the right direction. Marsden and the rebuild: 2/10 That's what is wrong with coalitions. They indulge folly. Temu: 3/10 We are spending more there and less domestically. Never underestimate the power of cheap crap. Tory Whanau: 1/10 Cancelling her Newstalk ZB slot is the beginning of the end. Cancelling Newstalk ZB slots doesn't tend to go well for voting patterns – I speak from experience. The Warriors: 7/10 Unbeaten in the offseason and some fairly ordinary, blow-up bat-wielding Raiders to tackle first up.

Tuesday, February 18, 2025Sliced: The Importance of Carbon Credit Purchasing CoalitionsIn this edition of Sliced, we dive into the power of Carbon Credit Purchasing Coalitions in driving climate action. We look at how coalitions like Symbiosis, LEAF, and Frontier are creating much-needed demand for high-quality carbon credits. By joining forces, these companies are sending clear market signals, supporting innovative carbon removal projects, and providing critical financing for communities around the world. Demand is the engine of the voluntary carbon market, and these coalitions are stepping up to keep it running.--Sliced is a weekly short-form dispatch released every Tuesday that features original thought pieces from our team members with the goal of slicing apart the various complex aspects of climate finance. If you want to check out the written version of Sliced, click here.

New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman's life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative.  In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America (U Chicago Press, 2024), Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who themselves had survived substantial postpartum distress fought to legitimize and normalize women's experiences. They argued that postpartum depression is an objective and real illness and fought to avoid it being politicized alongside other fraught medical and political battles over women's health. Based on insightful oral histories and in-depth archival research, Blue reveals a secret history of American motherhood, women's political activism, and the rise of postpartum depression advocacy amid an often-censorious conservative culture. By breaking new ground with the first book-length history of postpartum mental illness in the twentieth century, Moran brings mothers' battles with postpartum depression out of the shadows and into the light.
