Kristina is the Executive Director for the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE), the sole organization exclusively representing collegiate recovery programs and communities. Kristina explains how collegiate recovery programs came about, their benefits for students in recovery, and how ARHE can provide education, resources, and community connection to those looking to establish a collegiate recovery program in their school. Kristina attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio where she earned both her bachelor's degree in History and a master's degree in College Student Personnel. During her time at Ohio University, Kristina helped to establish the Collegiate Recovery Community in order to assist students in or seeking recovery from substance use disorders on that campus.  After graduation, she worked in an inpatient treatment facility where she continued to gain valuable experience in the continuum of care for substance use disorders.

Kristina is very passionate about the field of collegiate recovery and prior to her current role, she worked closely with ARHE as Conference Manager for the ARHE/ARS/AAPG National Conference, Secretary of the Advisory Council, and Project Lead for two grant projects focused on advancing the field of collegiate recovery. Her vision is that one day, every institution of higher education offers support for students in or seeking recovery so that they feel supported no matter their chosen path of recovery.As we approach Collegiate Recovery Day, ARHE will be celebrating thirteen years of propagating and supporting the vision of collegiate recovery programs.

Today I'm sharing with you a panel discussion on the topic: Leveraging technology: Standing out from your competition and saving money produced by the Accounting & Finance Show Malaysia 2021.    Our expert panellists were Jovani Chinniah founder of Jovani & Co. Chartered Accountants, Jay Shong, a Management Accountant and founder of Red Beak, and YC Eng a Certified Financial Planner and Managing Director of Yes Boss. They were all based in Malaysia, and as we learnt through the discussion, Malaysia has different requirements when it comes to storing digital receipts. I love it when we uncover these nuances because while some locations are ahead in some areas, others excel in other areas, and we can all learn and benefit from them.   During the session some of the aspects we discuss are:    How Border restrictions pushed businesses to the cloud and a borderless environment. The restrictions had opened up opportunities for them. How they attract multi-generational businesses that have traditional parents and innovative children Has branding the business as technology-savvy helped in attract suitable talent? Do you include Accounting Technology badges and certifications in your marketing material? AND we also polled the audience about what factors are stopping them from leveraging technology?   The session initially starts with an introduction from Laura Pickard, Conference Manager at Terrapin. Terrapinn is a global events company promoting innovation and technology. I encourage you to google them and register for any upcoming events that may be of interest to you.

Today I'm sharing with you a panel discussion on the topic: Do Accounting Firms need an office anymore? produced by the Accounting and Finance Show Hong Kong 2021. Our expert panellists were from Australia and the UK. We were all cloud-first, though we had different size teams, and different set-ups, be it in-office, remote or hybrid model. Of course, Covid impacted these models. As always I think it's useful for us to hear different insights and experiences to help us on our own journey. The panellists included: Moderator: Kyelie Baxter, Founder, Managing Partner, IQ Accountants Sarah Lawrance, Founder, Hot Toast Will Farnell, Founder, Farnell Clarke During the session we discuss: How to ensure clients have an amazing experience no matter how we are working. Benefits of a remote workforce vs hybrid model vs in office model. Issues related to where staff work. The impact on culture, recruitment, even office dress codes. Communication and working across different time zones - and I actually forgot to mention something I've leaned into which is ‘Asynchronous communication' where the conversation is intermittent, rather than a live steady stream. The session initially starts with an introduction from Laura Pickard, Conference Manager at Terrapin, and she hands over to the Moderator: Kyelie Baxter, Founder, Managing Partner, IQ Accountants.

Voices From the Expressive Therapies Summit Episode 1 I have been asking Barry to be a guest on the show to talk about the Expressive Therapies Summit before I even had any podcasting equipment in 2019. The idea for TCP had been brewing for several years before I began taking the necessary action steps to bring it to life. I learned that Barry, similarly had the idea for the Summit percolating within him for decades before the opportunity to breathe life into it was ripe. Barry M. Cohen, MA, ATR-BC began his career in the helping professions as a Child Life Specialist at Yale/New Haven Hospital in 1979. In 1982, while Director of Expressive Therapies at Mount Vernon Hospital, Alexandria, VA, he developed the Diagnostic Drawing Series (DDS), a standardized art assessment and award-winning multicenter research project, still in use worldwide. Cohen is the author/co-author of numerous journal article sand chapters, and co-authored/co-edited three books, including Telling Without Talking: Art as a Window into the World of Multiple Personality, and the workbook, Managing Traumatic Stress through Art, both published in 1995. He has taught extensively in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands. A professional conference planner and consumer fair promoter, he produced and chaired the Eastern Regional Conference on Trauma and Dissociation (1989-1996) and was Conference Manager of the American Art Therapy Association's 2006 and 2007 conferences. Barry joined Expressive Media as Executive Director in 2008, and introduced its Institute of the Arts in Healing Spring Institute in 2009, then founded the annual Expressive Therapies Summit in 2010.

Highlights: Training budgets must be established in every professional shop so technicians don’t have to pay for these top events out of their own pocket. Training policies need to be established for every technician educational program. What needs to change is the culture in the shops themselves. Too many shop owners won’t support their technicians in getting the training that, in the end, benefits them too. How to get the most out of training events. Pete Meier, “The best training event is the one you can get to.” Sponsoring vendors at these training events need to be supported. They help keep the costs low. And more!
