How often do we come to the conclusion that it's just easier to do things on our own? While that might lead to the most immediate satisfaction, there's something about the way that God works to build His Kingdom that requires us to work together. Paul, throughout his letters, addresses the people that he partners with across the various cities he visits. and we, too, can join together for an even greater impact.

There were a number of projects exploring social dynamics within immersive pieces, including the special jury prize winner for the XR competition PROOF AS IF PROOF WERE NEEDED. This was a projection-based video project that featured video feeds from four different rooms in a home where a couple is searching for different objects. There are five audience members who are walking between rooms represented by a top-down blueprint of the home, and there's a computer vision system that's detecting where the most people are located and then showing the feed from that room. There are six speakers providing an ongoing Foley-based spatial audio narrative of sounds coming from different locations giving the audience a clue as to where they should investigate to puzzle together the cryptic narrative. The core mechanics felt SLEEP NO MORE-inspired where you move between different rooms to see different threads of a multi-threaded story, and you use your body to edit the experience. But instead of a single POV, it's abstracted into a collective social experiment where you have to collaborate with four other people in order to vote on what room video feed to watch. In the end, there's a lot of the story that remained a complete mystery to me until I had the symbolic dream logic decoded in my interview with co-director Ting Tong Chang and Blast Theory representative Anne Rupert. Here's the jury statement about this piece, "Spoiler Alert! The Special Jury Award Winner made us feel lost, frustrated and disconnected from each other. What started as a slow burn, turned into an unexpected connection and dance between space, story, technology and human behavior."

Kim Mishkin is here to shed light on Project-Based Learning, an education model that encourages kids to explore, problem-solve, and collaborate in ways that tap into their natural curiosity and interests.   In this episode we explore:   - What Project-Based Learning (PBL) is and how it differs from the standard American education model.   - The origins of the PBL model and what current research reveals about its efficacy for educating kids?    - Why allowing children to help shape the direction of their curriculum reinforces their motivation to learn and fosters curiosity.   - How core academic subjects like reading, writing, and math are covered with a PBL approach.   - Will kids who have been educated in a PBL elementary and middle-school be able to successfully transition to a standard American academic high-school or college environment?   - Ways parents can integrate elements of the PBL approach into everyday life, helping to build critical thinking and curiosity in their children, even outside a PBL school.   If you're curious about alternative education models or looking for ways to inspire a love of learning in your child, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss!       LEARN MORE ABOUT HUDSON LAB SCHOOL: https://www.hudsonlabschool.com/   ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND RESOURCES:

Teacher Evaluation is Broken Show Description:Assuming you were a teacher, and assuming you were evaluated from time to time:·      Did your evaluations ever result in termination?·      Did the ever result in you getting a big raise or promotion?·      Were they part of a process that helped you grow into a better teacher?For me, the answers are no, no, and no. If your experience is similar, then we need to ask ourselves, “what's the point of the teacher evaluation process?”   The Big Idea·      My experience·      Teacher evaluation is a broken waste of time·      Two options:o   Go through the motions, wasting as little time as possible and doing as little as possible to frustrate teacherso   Leverage an irrelevant proves by creating some relevancy:§  Let teachers set a teaching goal before the observation§  Collaboratively identify the elements of the observation that provide important data related to the goal§  Focus you observation on the agreed upon elements to the greatest extent possible§  In a post conference, collaboratively debrief the relevant data and help the teacher develop some strategies and a path for meeting their goal·      Caveats:o   If you don't trust your teachers' professionalism, there is nothing you can do to help them grow. Except to begin believing your teachers want to enjoy teaching and treating them as if they did.o   You don't know as much about your teachers' teaching as they know about their own teaching.o   Critical feedback, unasked for, and with a lack of consistent support, is counterproductive. (o   Acknowledge that past observations may (probably?) have ben traumatic for teachers.·      Closing thought: Would you leave a job where your principal trusted you, where they helped you continually grow as a leader, and where you increasingly experienced making a positive impact on the people around you? Summarizing (The big takeaway) Sponsorship:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast… Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction.

Community safety is an issue that affects all Chicagoans, but especially Black and Latine communities. According to a 2023 report, more than half of Black and Latine residents have witnessed a shooting by age 40. Further, violence not only impacts the health and safety of residents, but it also has a detrimental effect on the city's economic vitality.  While there is no one-size-fits-all method to addressing this issue, a grassroots approach that centers the voices of the people most affected by violence is necessary to make our neighborhoods safer. Launched in 2016, the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful (PSPC) is a coalition of more than 50 funders working together to support community-level programming that reduces gun violence. In tandem with those efforts, a new PSPC initiative, Scaling Community Violence Intervention for a Safer Chicago (SC2), brings together partners from across sectors to reduce shootings and homicides in neighborhoods with the highest rates of gun violence through focused services and interventions.  In this episode of Trust Talks, we will discuss PSPC's priorities and accomplishments, its new Scaling Community Violence Intervention for a Safer Chicago fund, and the importance of multi-sector collaboration to make our neighborhoods safer and more vibrant.    This episode is hosted by Jai Jones, program specialist for the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities (PSPC), and includes Esther Franco-Payne, PSPC executive director; Robert Boik, Civic Committee of the Commercial Club's senior vice president for public safety; Teny Gross, CEO of the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago; and America Campos, executive director of U.N.I.O.N. Impact Center.This episode is produced by Juneteenth Productions and was recorded at the Sound Foundation, LLC.

Chicago is a city with extreme concentrations of racialized poverty and inequity, one that relies on an extensive network of repressive agencies to police the poor and suppress struggles for social justice. Imperial Policing: Weaponized Data in Carceral Chicago (University of Minnesota Press, 2024) examines the role of local law enforcement, federal immigration authorities, and national security agencies in upholding the city's highly unequal social order. Collaboratively authored by the Policing in Chicago Research Group (PCRG), Imperial Policing was developed in dialogue with movements on the front lines of struggles against racist policing in Black, Latinx, and Arab/Muslim communities. The members of PCRG are Andy Clarno, Enrique Alvear Moreno, Janaé Bonsu-Love, Lydia Dana, Michael De Anda Muñiz, Ilā Ravichandran, and Haley Volpintesta. Imperial Policing analyzes the connections between three police “wars”—on crime, terror, and immigrants—focusing on the weaponization of data and the coordination between local and national agencies to suppress communities of color and undermine social movements. Topics include high-tech, data-based tools of policing; the racialized archetypes that ground the police wars; the manufacturing of criminals and terrorists; the subversion of sanctuary city protections; and abolitionist responses to policing, such as the Erase the Database campaign. Andy Clarno is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Black Studies and coordinator of the Policing in Chicago Research Group at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research examines racism, capitalism, colonialism, and empire in the early 21st century, with a focus on racialized policing and struggles for social justice in contexts of extreme inequality.

The members of PCRG are Andy Clarno, Enrique Alvear Moreno, Janaé Bonsu-Love, Lydia Dana, Michael De Anda Muñiz, Ilā Ravichandran, and Haley Volpintesta. Imperial Policing analyzes the connections between three police “wars”—on crime, terror, and immigrants—focusing on the weaponization of data and the coordination between local and national agencies to suppress communities of color and undermine social movements. Topics include high-tech, data-based tools of policing; the racialized archetypes that ground the police wars; the manufacturing of criminals and terrorists; the subversion of sanctuary city protections; and abolitionist responses to policing, such as the Erase the Database campaign. Andy Clarno is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Black Studies and coordinator of the Policing in Chicago Research Group at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research examines racism, capitalism, colonialism, and empire in the early 21st century, with a focus on racialized policing and struggles for social justice in contexts of extreme inequality.

In this episode, we dive into the world of planning and goal setting within a relationship. A well-known dilemma for many is how to get their partner to actively participate in the family's planning and goal setting. It can be a challenge, ensuring that the processes do not feel pressurized or critical, but rather collaborative. It's apparent that such shared planning is a key element in fostering connection in a shared life, thus making this discussion an important one. In this journey to establishing stronger partnerships, there will be a focus on effective strategies for joint planning. The objective here is to not only realize individual goals but collective aspirations as well. The episode poses a solution for those who may feel overwhelmed with the complexity of goal setting. We further delve into the need for the implementation of effective communication and mutual respect in ensuring that the planning process strengthen partnerships. An emphasis is given on how shared goals can help align individual wants, thus paving the way for a more fulfilling future. A commonly overlooked aspect of love and logistics is the effect of resentment on the well-being of both the individual and the relationship. We address the trepidation that women often have regarding the unequal distribution of household responsibilities, which often goes unnoticed leading to feelings of resentment. The episode stresses the need for clear communication, setting shared goals, and engaging in regular planning sessions as a team to overcome such issues. We wrap up with a look at how these strategies don't just help with life's logistics but also serve as tools for improving and strengthening relationships, creating opportunities for effective communication and ensuring a united approach towards a common future. This episode leaves you with strategies to seamlessly incorporate goal setting in your life, fostering an environment that encourages growth, learning, and joint achievement.

Let's talk about leaders leaning in. I was recently talking to a couple of leaders who were not getting the results they wanted.  Admittedly, they had not tapped into relationships that could help them and they were removed what was going on.  By the time we finished our conversation they had committed to doing some important things: Be intentional about communicating and partnering – This will look like timely responses, sharing beneficial information ensuring understanding of roles and responsibilities   Intentionally engage with key stakeholders – maintain a good understanding of who is a part of the process and ensure they have an opportunity to be heard Collaboratively contribute  - work together with others to make forward momentum an be an active part of the process In short, they committed to leaning in.  When things are going well or when we are busy with our own list of priorities, it can be natural to pull away from some things and get out of touch. Awareness is a starting point to make change.  Acknowledging our responsibilities and priorities, is important to be able to lean in with a a high degree of commitment. So, if you are working with or leading others, take some time to evaluate if you have leaned in or if this is an opportunity for improvement.  When we lean in we can contribute at a higher level and we can ensure we remain engaged with the process and the outcomes. When we lean in, we demonstrate that we are all in *****Happy Birthday, Sharon!***** Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled ⁠www.petrinagooch.com⁠ Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible ⁠https://www.amazon.com/author/petrinagooch⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminate #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #decisionmaking #relevance #approachable #collaboration #understanding #progress #BeNice #BeRespectful #BuildOthersUp #confidence #Courage #help #change #vision #Choice #Reponsibility #ThePause #Clarity #Confidence #Committment #LeanIn

In Episode 210, Mark & Steve address an issue that comes up often in porn/sex addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing—the challenges of ADHD that seem to often correlate with, and/or accompany addiction. This episode is in response to a situation submitted by a PBSE listener—"I have heard there is a correlation between ADHD and addiction. Have you noticed this in your practice, and what is your advice to both addict and partner on how to cope and battle through both issues collaboratively? I looked into the symptoms of ADHD and some of my long term frustrations with my partner could fit that. But others don't. It's hard to know what could be attributed to the addiction (emotional immaturity and selfishness) versus what could be ADHD related."-  Mark talks about his own life-long struggle with ADHD symptoms and addiction.-  How ADHD and porn/sex addiction symptoms can correlate and cross over in a variety of ways. -  How porn use, as well as other online practices can "fuel" already existing ADHD symptoms and vice-versa.-  What can an addict in recovery do to also manage his ADHD symptoms/challenges?-  What can the partner of an addict do to support him in his "dual" struggles—without crossing the line into rescuing, over-owning, playing policewoman, etc?-  How can a couple come together to collaborate as a team in facing these issues?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program—"Dare to Connect!"

Join Maurice Harker in this profound discussion on self-discovery and psychological tactics for goal achievement within the Eternal Warriors community. Maurice delves into the discovery phase, highlighting the intricacies of identifying glitches in one's personal development journey. He emphasizes the health sector's wealth of research and resources, aiding in uncovering obstacles hindering progress. Exploring the psychological realm, Maurice challenges the notion of effortless transformation, advocating for a deeper dive into satanic attacks obstructing personal growth. He underscores the significance of personal revelation, steering away from self-critique and Freudian analyses. Instead, he advocates for a proactive approach to identifying and conquering intrusive thoughts and weaknesses. Addressing the importance of recognizing oneself in a spiritual war, Maurice encourages participants to acknowledge shared struggles, enabling them to combat feelings of isolation. Collaboratively, Maurice engages attendees in a team-based discovery session, encouraging them to pinpoint reasons for follow-through challenges, often stemming from hidden satanic attacks. He navigates through setting tangible goals, emphasizing the necessity of defining precise destinations in the health journey. Maurice introduces layered success criteria for short-term and long-term goals, aiming to counteract vague aspirations. Highlighting the need for specificity, he discusses the importance of setting measurable benchmarks, akin to teaching concepts to children. Maurice then leads attendees through the circular elements of the battle plan, emphasizing the cyclical nature of self-improvement. He rejects the notion of rigid timelines, advocating for reflective adjustments and flexibility in the pursuit of personal development goals. This insightful workshop illuminates the intricate psychology behind self-improvement, guiding participants towards a more holistic and adaptable approach to personal growth within the Eternal Warriors framework.

Dr. Ron Kaiser was intrigued by climate coaching due to the increasing anxiety and concerns people have about climate change, something he hadn't encountered in his work until recently. Alex shared her journey into climate coaching, explaining that it combines her passion for the environment with her coaching skills rooted in positive psychology.Alex's interest in climate coaching was sparked when she realized that she didn't have to conform to traditional climate activism but could leverage her strengths and values to make a different type of meaningful contribution. She discovered the Climate Coaching Alliance, became a member, and enrolled in a climate change coach training program.Dr. Ron asked about the specific role of a climate change coach. Alex explained that climate coaches support individuals and organizations in various ways, such as:Helping activists deal with burnout and emotional responses to climate change.Assisting people in processing complex emotions related to climate change, including anxiety, despair, and grief.Collaboratively exploring clients' strengths, values, and areas of interest for taking climate action.Shifting mindsets to promote resilience and adaptability in the face of climate-related uncertainty.Alex noted that climate anxiety is a complex issue with no easy answers. People can be jolted into awareness by climate-related events like floods or storms. However, the emotional responses to climate change are diverse and multifaceted, making it challenging to generalize. People may experience sadness, despair, hopelessness, shame, guilt, fear and grief in regard to climate change, in addition to anxiety - and each new event can have an additive emotional effect.The discussion concluded with an exploration of how some individuals respond to climate anxiety by becoming advocates or participating in climate-focused organizations. Alex emphasized that these individuals may experience post-traumatic growth, using their concerns as motivation for proactive engagement in climate action. Climate coaching helps individuals navigate their unique emotional responses and find ways to contribute positively to the cause. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to an Encore of Episode 7 of Professional Christian Coaching Today in which we sit down with our show's host, Christopher McCluskey, PCC, for part two of his inspiring story. In the previous podcast, Chris talked about the challenges and obstacles he faced after shutting down his successful counseling practice to move his wife and children cross-country to the family farm and launch a private coaching practice. Shortly after relocating, Chris was struck by a debilitating illness that took years to diagnose. He entered a “dark night of the soul” that took a toll on both he and his family. But instead of allowing difficult circumstances to harden their hearts, they served to strengthen their faith and resolve. During these difficult years, God inscribed valuable life lessons on Chris' heart, which he shares with us today. Chris identifies five critical beliefs that shaped his life and decisions during these years: Discern your life's call and listen to the song of your heart. Count the cost and do your due diligence when launching your coaching business and in honoring your values. Commit for the long haul. After putting your hand to the plow, resist the temptation to look back (Luke 9:62). Persevere through the dark times and allow nothing to deter you from God's plan and purpose for you, both personally and professionally. Work creatively and collaboratively. Say, “Lord, show me something fresh here.” Ask, “Collaboratively, who else can help me?” How might these key takeaways mold your life and coaching practice?

There are many challenges for Scrum teams during a Sprint: Scope Creep: The introduction of new requirements or changes during the sprint can disrupt the team's focus and lead to scope creep. To address this challenge, effective communication and collaboration between the product owner and the development team are crucial. Clearly define the sprint goal and ensure any changes are properly evaluated and prioritized. Lack of Clarity in User Stories: Unclear or poorly defined user stories can create confusion and delays. The product owner should collaborate with the team to ensure user stories are well-defined, properly elaborated, and include clear acceptance criteria. Regular refinements and ongoing communication between the product owner and the team can help address any ambiguity. Unrealistic Timeframes: Setting unrealistic timeframes for backlog items can put undue pressure on the team and compromise the quality of work. It is essential to establish realistic expectations and ensure the team has a sustainable pace. Collaboratively estimate effort, consider team capacity, and prioritize backlog items based on their complexity and business value. Dependencies and Bottlenecks: Dependencies on external teams or resources can create bottlenecks and hinder progress. Identify and communicate dependencies early on, and establish effective coordination with other teams. Regularly track and manage dependencies to minimize their impact on the team's work. Technical Debt: Accruing technical debt can hinder the team's progress and reduce flexibility. Balancing the delivery of new functionality with addressing technical debt is essential. Prioritize and plan for technical debt refinements in the backlog. Allocate time during sprints to address technical debt and ensure a sustainable development pace. These challenges can be addressed by adhering to Agile principles, Scrum rules and a clear in-sprint workflow including the following development and test activities: Development WorkBacklog Item Selection: Collaboratively select backlog items based on the sprint goal, complexity, and priority. Consider dependencies and team capacity while making the selection.

Join me on the Fast Track to Grant Writer: www.teresahuff.com/vip The Link Between Competition and a Scarcity Mindset Competition is at the heart of every grant application, and a scarcity mindset can come from a position of competition. Many nonprofits work on a very limited budget, so the struggle with a scarcity mindset is common. After all, you wouldn't be applying for grants if you already had the money, right? Nonprofits applying for the same grant are likely providing parallel services to a similar demographic, so the unfortunate reality is that organizations fighting for the same cause are competing with one another for funds and therefore, feeding the sector-wide scarcity mindset.  In today's podcast, retired Army Colonel Dr. Vincent Lindenmeyer helps us think creatively to work collaboratively with otherwise competing organizations so both teams can overcome the scarcity mindset and get more done. What Collaboration and Grant Funding Look Like Together During his 26 years in the US Army, Vince specialized in engineering, logistics management, and strategic studies, so he knows what creative collaboration looks like. He now applies his knowledge and experience to the nonprofit sector. As principal of Beacon 4sight Group, Vince helps women, veterans, minorities, persons with disabilities, and the formerly incarcerated start nonprofits and businesses to create economic growth for equality and justice. Many of Vince's clients begin with little more than a dream, but he helps them get their nonprofit started in 90 days. He knows the power of creative collaboration to overcome scarcity. Like-minded organizations need to share resources, time, and talent to create in-kind partnerships based on trading complimentary skills and backgrounds. 7 Empowering Benefits of Working Collaboratively Wonderful things can happen when organizations work together: Extra personnel Everyone gets more done when you have more hands on deck working toward the same goals. Share tips and tricks Share knowledge to solve problems and work more efficiently. Stronger bottom line Struggling nonprofits become stronger by giving and receiving resources and expertise. Larger network Collaboration breeds collaboration, so when you partner with an organization, you will also get to work with their connections. Stay in your lane Collaboration means sharing complementary skills to boost each other's weaknesses so you can focus on your strengths. Increased visibility and community awareness When you get more done together, both organizations get a piece of the spotlight to bring awareness to both your cause and your brand. Celebrate your wins together Collaboration means having more to celebrate and more people to celebrate with! If we truly want to make things better and improve our mission, then we have to cooperate. It's not about us. It's not about the scarcity. It's so much more. We have to work together. We have to ask ourselves how we can give back to the community and improve each other's mission, whether or not it comes back directly to us.

Do you use proposals in your sales process? There are 3 HUGE mistakes I see most often.  How do you know if you're making them? You:  Are getting ghosted  Have to do a TON of back and forth on email to close the deal  Have a long sales cycle because there's such a delay from when you present the proposal and when they close  Hear “that's too expensive” or “more than we thought” often  The result is countless hours on discovery calls, creating proposals and the never ending follow up asking “LeT mE kNoW iF yOu hAvE aNy QuEsTiOns”

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Derek Marsh, the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University. The two discuss the importance of shedding light on labor trafficking as well as understanding labor trafficking cases collaboratively. Key Points The same approach and attention given to sex trafficking should be used when approaching labor trafficking as both are crimes. While labor trafficking cases have decreased, collaboration when pursuing cases gives victims to opportunity to be liberated and ensures those who have committed the crime are held accountable. Investigating and identifying labor trafficking is difficult without collaboration because of its tendency to involve foreign nationals. It's important to have knowledge of the signs of labor trafficking to keep individuals who could possible be in a labor trafficking situation from being exploited.
