Carrie Bateman-Buckley, a determined entrepreneur and seasoned strategist, brings her wealth of experience in organizational design and strategic planning to the table as the CEO of Windsor Bateman Solutions (WBS). With a strong background in public health and education, Carrie focuses on helping businesses, both large and small, build successful teams and staffing structures. She spent 15 years in leadership positions in large organizations, including as a senior Cabinet member of the New York City Department of Education. Overcoming adversities, like being robbed at gunpoint, has only made her more resilient and persistent. Carrie's journey as a Division One athlete and her time spent working on international projects has given her unique insights into the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and perseverance.In this episode, Carrie talks about how her life flashed before her eyes during a traumatic event that happened to her in New York City in broad daylight when a gun was pulled on her and the subsequent three years kind of trauma being reminded of this incident. Unpacking the trauma and going through the process of moving on from a life-threatening situation. “And the one thing I will say that I had planned for in advance was financially I've given myself a cushion there so that I wouldn't be stressed on that front. been saving up over time. Again, not even sure what this was the LEAP I was going to make. But I did have that there in order to support myself as it gives you more options, more sense of security and, and just the backstop.” “I think that what I love about what we do is we have these one-on-one meetings with people. And we really get to the heart of the matter in the meetings with them. And it's all from listening. So, I just think empathy goes a long way in any industry that you're in.” Carrie also shares her experience on how she played an important role in supporting special education in New York, overseeing 1800 public schools and being responsible for any child in New York City with a disability, over three years of age and 21 and how she has set her eyes in paving a way for women to be part of a leadership position on larger organizations or even putting up her own business. Adversities Carrie had to overcome: · Being robbed and held at gunpoint in broad daylight· Aftermath trauma during the court process· Feeling “undecided” on what path would she really want to focus on· Started very broad scope on business Abundance Carrie created: · Was able to save up enough to start her own business· Took on a big responsibility with New York Education· Helping out larger institutions with organizational structure and strategic planning Lessons from Carrie adversities · It's okay to be learning a lot but eventually, you would want to focus on a thing or two· You cannot say “yes” to everyone, you have to identify which really are the ones whom you share the same goals· Importance of working together Lessons Learned in Launching a BusinessStarting a business can be both an exciting and challenging experience, as it involves navigating new territories, managing uncertainties, and learning from mistakes.

Honestly with Bari Weiss ✓ Claim Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Suffering does not prove you are a good parent – in pregnancy or parenthoodDon't make decisions for your family based on what you think you should be doing or what others are doing – make decisions that make sense for your familyDistinguish between changing guidelines in response to large-scale evidence (e.g., sleeping on back vs stomach) versus changing guidelines based on sensationalized information Similar to what we see with other public health issues, there is minimal nuance in the information disseminated about how to navigate pregnancy, breastfeeding, child development, and parentingRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen my wife Nellie was pregnant last year, we became obsessed with Economist Emily Oster's book, Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong–and What You Really Need to Know. Amidst a barrage of conflicting and confusing pregnancy advice, Oster laid out the data on everything we needed to know. Despite what doctors said, sushi, cheese, and the occasional glass of wine were all okay during those nine long months. It gave us the much needed calm we needed during a time of so much uncertainty.  With her two subsequent books Cribsheet and The Family Firm, Oster popularized a new phenomenon that has defined our generation of parents: data-driven parenting. It ditches the long lists of paternalistic rules, and instead examines peer-reviewed evidence and lets parents make their own informed decisions about their kids based on risks and tradeoffs. Nowhere was the Oster mentality more front and center, and more divisive, than during Covid. She argued very early on in the pandemic for less draconian and more nuanced policies. She wrote pieces in the Atlantic like, Schools Aren't Superspreaders and Your Unvaccinated Kids Is Like A Vaccinated Grandma, when those words were considered heresy. And while she made quite a few enemies on the left over the last few years, recently she wrote Let's Declare A Pandemic Amnesty, and earned herself some enemies on the right as well. Today, my wife Nellie Bowles joins me to talk to Oster about why a Harvard-educated economist at Brown University decided to become a parenting guru, how she used her parenting framework to become a leading expert on pandemic policies, and the unwinnable position of… actually following the science.

How should we approach decisions about children, especially our own? That's the question that motivates my guest today, Emily Oster. She is a Professor of Economics at Brown University and currently a visiting Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Through her books and newsletter, Emily has become something of a data guru to many parents confused by the torrent of conflicting advice and "studies show" headlines; she describes her work as "part memoir, part meta-analysis"  We talk about Emily's new book, “The Family Firm: A Data-Driven Guide to Better Decision Making in the Early School Years”; how to go about decisions such as bedtimes, extracurricular activities, and of course, when to buy your child a phone. We spend some time on how to evaluate risks, opportunity costs and counterfactuals in the parenting enterprise, and in particular the trade-offs between risk and independence. We also discuss her recent work on the impact of COVID on children and education; Emily has assembled a unique dataset on this question, and became a strong advocate on the need to return quickly to in-person learning, not just for or even mainly for education reasons, but for mental health ones.  I found this a thoroughly stimulating and enjoyable conversation - my only regret is that I wasn't able to read Oster's work when my own kids were younger! One of the things I like is the way she explodes lots of myths about the impact of various decisions on your children; which has the effect of lowering the stakes, and hopefully giving parents the chance to relax just a bit.  Emily Oster Emily Oster is a Professor of Economics at Brown University and currently a visiting Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Previously, she held a position at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. Her expertise is wide ranging, but is best known for her work on the economics of family and parenting. Oster's newest book, along with her book Cribsheet, are New York Times bestsellers, not least because of her expert ability to translate economic data to the public.  More Oster:  Her new book, “The Family Firm: A Data-Driven Guide to Better Decision Making in the Early School Years”, is out now!  Previously she wrote, “Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool” and “Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong-and What You Really Need to Know”  For more of her writing, Oster is often featured in the New York Times, the Atlantic, and Slate. Additionally, she has a weekly newsletter, ParentData, which offers really interesting and informative discussions of parenting.  You can also follow Emily on twitter, @ProfEmilyOster, or on her website.  Also mentioned I referred to the book “How Not to be a Hypocrite: School Choice for the Morally Perplexed Parent,” authored by Adam Swift.  Although I don't suggest watching it, I referred to this video which captured the angry response of parents in Franklin Tennessee, following a decision to require masks in schools.  We also discussed Oster's dashboard which started collecting data on schools and childcare early on in the pandemic.  The Dialogues Team Creator & host: Richard Reeves Research: Ashleigh Maciolek Artwork: George Vaughan Thomas Tech Support: Cameron Hauver-Reeves Music: "Remember" by Bencoolen (thanks for the permission, guys!)

As passionate leaders in the education evolution, is our either-or perspective on education reform holding us back? Or even worse, is our commitment to our own vision creating a divisive reality instead of the inclusive and equitable future we hope for? Today on the podcast, we are exploring how to shift from either-or thinking to a both-and perspective to find a greater purpose and educational future for everyone involved. My guest is Lindsay Burr, CEO of Yarbrough Group and expert on polarity thinking, multi-generational workplaces, and creating inclusive environments through conflict resolution.
