Podcasts about Delegation

Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! As mentioned on last week's episode, host Karan Takhar recently had the pleasure of attending DC Climate Week where he sat down with several climate leaders. One of these leaders was Francesco Maria Graziani, Climate and Energy Counsellor and Delegation of the European Union to the United States. In this episode, they discuss Europe's clean energy goals, its take on critical materials and healthier supply chains, and its transatlantic partnership with the U.S. Francesco provides insight into the drafting of the European Commission's new renewable energy directive. They discuss how the energy approach in Europe has shifted since the Russia/Ukraine conflict and how Europe is filling in the gap in energy Russia used to supply. They also talk about how the geopolitical shift between the U.S. and the EU has impacted the approach to critical materials as well as how Europe is building and refining its own critical minerals processes. In fact, if you'd like to learn more about the European Commission's recent selection of 47 projects to support domestic raw critical materials, you can click on the link above or visit ec.europa.edu and search for the March 24, 2025 press release. Finally, we end with an optimistic outlook on where Europe is headed in its climate journey. Thanks so much for listening.

Employees spend 42% of their time collaborating with others. That's almost half of their time. But are they any good at it? Or are there challenges around collaboration? And if there are challenges, what can we do about them?Most people would say collaboration is important for their work, but we're less likely to do it when it feels challenging. And when there's conflict, we're less likely to do it then, too. Can training help? That's what we're exploring in this episode.▶️ How Training Can Improve Collaboration in Your Nonprofit ▶️ Key Points:00:58 Collaboration in the workplace02:02 Building a good foundation for collaboration through training04:43 Building collaboration skills through internal training05:31 Nonprofit collaboration training exampleResources from this episode:2023 Global Workplace Survey from the Gensler Research Institute: https://f.tlcollect.com/fr2/723/96308/global-workplace-survey-comparison-2023.pdf Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveWas this episode helpful?

Today Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony continue their conversation on ecclesiology, riffing on Tim Eldred's article; “The Lie of Just One More Sunday” at The Authentic Pastor (https://www.theauthenticpastor.com/blog/pastor-burnout-just-one-more-sermon) and how so many in parish leadership (to include priests) fall into and justify sinful and unsustainable patterns of ministry. They make the point that poor leadership has serious detrimental downstream effects on the spiritual health of the parish and that doing things Biblically (e.g. Exodus 18) is sustainable, graceful, and beneficial for everyone involved.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Jose Berlanga believes the hardest part of growing a small business is persistence — staying mentally tough through uncertainty, setbacks, and the less enjoyable tasks. Passion can fade when challenges mount, but endurance keeps you going. He explains that growth brings constant change and pressure to adapt. True success, he says, comes from resilience, not just enthusiasm. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jose Berlanga's favorite business book that has helped him the most is The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. He values it for its step-by-step approach to identifying and eliminating obstacles, improving processes, and turning challenges into assets for business success. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Jose Berlanga didn't mention any specific podcasts or online learning resources he uses. Instead, he emphasized his habit of writing everything down — capturing ideas, reminders, and tasks immediately to stay organized and avoid forgetting important actions in his business journey. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Jose Berlanga recommends focusing on self-awareness and skill alignment as the most important tool to grow a small business. He advises choosing a business that not only interests you but also matches your strengths — because success comes from doing what you enjoy and what you're genuinely good at. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Jose Berlanga would advise himself on day one to relax and trust the process — to do his best without stressing over outcomes. He emphasizes not forcing results and believes that if you stay committed and focused, things will work out as they're meant to.

Ankara – Antalya – Istanbul. In der Türkei verläuft in diesen Tagen die diplomatische Front des russischen Angriffskriegs gegen die Ukraine. Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin hat direkte Gespräche in der Türkei vorgeschlagen bleibt aber in Moskau und schickt stattdessen eine Delegation aus Präsidentenberater und Vizeministern.

Denn aus Kyjiw reiste Präsident Selenskyj an samt Ministerriege dem Chef des Sicherheitsdienstes, sowie dem einflussreichen Leiter des Präsidentenbüros. Heute laufen in Istanbul dennoch direkte Gespräche unter türkischer Regie. Es sind die ersten seit Frühjahr 2022 kurz nach Beginn der völkerrechtswidrigen Großinvasion. Was bringen die Gespräche in der Türkei? Wie geht es weiter im Krieg gegen die Ukraine? Was bedeutet das für die globale Sicherheitsarchitektur? Andrea Beer diskutiert mit Prof. Dr. Gerlinde Groitl – Politologin an der Uni Regensburg; Wolfgang Richter – Associate Fellow am Genfer Zentrum für Sicherheitspolitik und Oberst a.D.; Alexey Yusupov – Leiter des Russlandbüros der SPD nahen Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Berlin

On Friday, May 9, senior White House official Stephen Miller said: "The Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended at a time of invasion.

CNN later reported that President Donald Trump has been personally involved in discussions in the administration over potentially suspending habeas.In this episode of the podcast, Ryan Goodman discusses the constitutional law on suspension of habeas, the context of Rümeysa Öztürk's release on a habeas petition on Friday shortly before Miller's remarks, and how the courts may respond.Show notes:1.

This conference is a 12-month experience that includes 3-days of the conference, 6+ months of coaching with yours truly in the Brave Circle, a 12-month membership in HerCsuite, a powerful women's networking platform, and a 12-month membership to Innovation Women, a female led speakers bureau. I don't know about you, but I have never been to a conference that pours that much into each attendee. Typically, it's a 2–3-day conference and you're thrown back into your life. Not Thrive in '25. We want to walk alongside you to incorporate your learnings from the conference personally and professionally.
