Podcasts about Diversity

The concept of the city is a crucial one for human civilization: people living in proximity, bringing in resources from outside, separated from the labors of subsistence so they can engage in the trade of goods and ideas. But we are still learning how cities grow and adapt to new conditions, as well as how we can best guide them to be livable as well as functional. I talk with urban scientist Catherine Brinkley about the structure of cities, including the fractal nature of their shapes, as well as what we can do to make cities thrive as much as possible.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Catherine Brinkley received a Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning as well as a degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania. She is currently Associate Professor of Human Ecology and Faculty Director at the Center for Regional Change at the University of California, Davis. She has been awarded fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation, the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity, and the Santa Fe Institute.Web siteUC Davis web pageGoogle Scholar publicationsBrinkley and Raj (2022), “Perfusion and Urban Thickness: The Shape of Cities”TwitterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

ABK releases its Diversity Space Tool and then quickly has to set the record straight; there are more questions than answers in the latest 9.2.5 build; and, finally, Liv and Manny have parted ways?!

Acts 15:1–2 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. (NIV) 4 Reasons We Celebrate Diversity 1. We celebrate diversity because God celebrates diversity in His Church Acts 15:7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. (NIV) Acts 11:17–18 So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?” 18  When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.” (NIV) 2. We celebrate diversity because God’s heart is for us to be one Acts 15:8–9 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9  He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. (NIV) John 17:21–23 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (NIV) Romans 12:5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. (NIV) Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. (NIV) Ephesians 4:4   There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; (NIV) 1. We celebrate the different generations 2. We celebrate the different races and cultures Galatians 3:26–28 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (NIV) 3. We celebrate the different gifts 1 Corinthians 12:4–5 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5  There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. (NIV) 3. We celebrate diversity because it shows we have the love of God in our hearts 1 John 2:9–10 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister  is still in the darkness. 10  Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. (NIV) 1 John 4:20   Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. (NIV) John 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (NIV) 4. We celebrate diversity because it builds bridges and tears down walls Acts 15:19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. (NIV)

On May 6 and 7, over 100 NAFLD stakeholders convened in Barcelona and on-line for the inaugural Innovations in NAFLD Care 2022 conference (#INCBCN.) Surfing the NASH Tsunami was there, with Jörn Schattenberg serving as event co-founder and Louise Campbell and Roger Green moderating sessions. This week's episode is less a formal recap of the meeting than recollections of key moments and messages from the co-founders and Surfers. Serious comments about meeting design and the importance of stakeholder diversity are interspersed with the conference's lighter moments, in this case referring to Louise being pressed into co-chair services at the last moment.This conversation starts with the three regular hosts describing the one memory from the weekend that will last the longest for them. Jörn discusses the intensity of the dialogues between stakeholders. Louise focuses on Cyrielle Caussy's presentation on the "fatal triple" of metabolic diseases. Roger identifies two: the passion of the patient advocates and the differences in perspective between traditional top-down, command-and-control specialist medicine as compared to data-driven patient empowerment as depicted by Marcus Ranney's Mito app in development. Given the focus on diverse stakeholders throughout the meeting, the conversation shifts to focus on stakeholders who were NOT well represented: nurses for one, payers and regulators for another. As a final comment, Louise mentions the consistency of a meeting where every presentation, every session was enlightening and satisfying.

It feels like we are in crisis mode as we approach decision season in the Supreme Court. Reproductive rights, public school funding, students' religious freedom rights, and more hang in the balance, and we're waiting with bated breath to see whether the Court will rule on the side of the people or the privileged few.

Sharon Ehrlich (pronounced ERR-LICK) is a Bronx raised Afro-Latina and proud native New Yorker.  Her business career started in the health care industry where she spent nearly a decade as a hospital administrator in both public and private hospitals in New York City.   A love story led to her permanently relocating Austria where she quickly came to the realization that her MBA and previous professional experience was nearly useless in her search for employment owing to her not being able to speak German. After a brief stint as an English teacher, she pursued a temporary position at IBM Austria which evolved into a 13-year career where she advanced through the ranks in a variety of roles, leading both physical and virtual teams throughout Europe, Turkey, and Russia.   Sharon is a passionate advocate of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in the workplace. She completed a certificate in Diversity and Inclusion from Cornell University to gain a research based understanding of the impact of DEI&B on performance and organizational culture.   She shared; - Harnessing all of your transferable skills  - The importance of being clear of your career values and non-   negotiables - The power of utilizing a coach when you need support navigating your    career change - Being clear on your rationale for career change - Career success as part of the sandwich generation.  CONNECT WITH SHARON:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonehrlich1/ ---------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for my weekly newsletter to receive information and advice for the Woman of Color who wants more from their career    https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx3J9vmdKueDI0Mbks4qftg Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #midcareer, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #midcareer #careerpivot

Surrounded by Idiots shares a groundbreaking new method of understanding the people around you. Ranging from your coworkers to your spouse, this book will change how you interact with everyoneIn this book, Thomas Erikson explains four key behaviour types that define how we interact with and perceive the people around us. Reds who are dominant and commanding, Yellows who are social and optimistic, Greens who are laid back and friendly, and Blues who are analytical and detail-oriented. The purpose of Surrounded by Idiots is to highlight that no group should be composed solely of individuals of the same type. Diversity is the best way to put a group of people together and achieve decent dynamics. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What happens to the top data scientist at Reuters when he crunches the numbers and points out that BLM is built on lies? He gets fed into the machinery of “diversity and inclusion” for some struggle sessions, and is then summarily fired. The Left doesn't care if something is a fact, all they care about is whether it supports the narrative in a way that enhances their power. Bari Weiss has a great substack on this issue, with a guest writer Zac Kriegman who tells the harrowing tale of the HR department ejecting him because he spoke the truth about BLM.

Conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion seem to be a more frequent and familiar part of both our business and general culture. But how are actual changes and improvements in individual and group behavior going to be made? My special guest, Christina Blacken has made a career for herself of looking at this very important question and chose a tool to do her work that is called Narrative Intelligence. In the episode, Christina teaches us all about Narrative Intelligence, her own childhood and childhood surroundings which sharpened her knowledge for story, and how stories influence people's thoughts and behavior. You will gain insight on how Christina expertly trains other people to be more aware of the stories that have influenced them, the cultures and policies they operate in, and to be more conscious about how they use their own personal influence.Christina Blacken is a public speaker, performer, and founder of The New Quo. The New Quo is a leadership development and equity consultancy, helping leaders create equitable practices, habits, and goals through their narrative intelligence. She helps leaders identify the psychological impact of historical, cultural, and personal narratives on beliefs, bias, and behaviors to improve their bias recognition, as well as providing them with leadership tools to create more inclusive and equitable communication, goal setting, decision making, and relationship building skills. Timestamps:• [6:50] “So many of the things I've created in my life have always started from a pain point or a block or a barrier…”• [8:32] Christina shares how and why she discovered that story was a big part of how people were ingesting different cultures and identities that they maybe never interacted with before.• [11:12] Christina shares an example of “wholesale buying” of stories that influence and impact… “When there's discussions around beauty and professionalism, that straight hair is the norm. And if you don't have straight hair, you're not professional, you're not as attractive. • [16:03] Christina explains narrative intelligence as “the ability to recognize the patterns, and the narrative tropes that are internalized within you when it comes to societal or cultural stories, and how those then affect your behavior, your thinking, your biases, and shifting them appropriately if they're in the way of your full potential because there are stories we can ingest…”For more information on the Make Time for Success podcast, visit: https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.comConnect with Us!Dr. Christine Li -Website: https://www.procrastinationcoach.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/procrastinationcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationcoach/To work with Dr. Li on a weekly basis in her coaching and accountability program, please register for The Success Lab here: https://www.procrastinationcoach.com/labChristina Blacken -Website: https://www.thenewquo.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinablacken/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinablackenthe white paper! https://bitly.com/newquopaper

In this episode, Miriam (@Miriam Walker-Khan) talks to Markus Fjortoft (@MarkusFjortoft) and Ciaran McKenna (@CiaranMcKenna8) about the legacy of the film “Bend it Like Beckham”, and what inspired her to make a short documentary about the film 20 years on from its release date. We discussed that despite the skepticism at the time about hiring an Indian female as the lead character & targeting the British Asian community as an audience; the film became the highest grossing football film ever, and not only resonated with the British Asian community, but became highly popular among all demographics of people. Furthermore, we spoke about both the progress made within football for British Asian females, and what more can still be done, the growth of England's Women's Super League, as well as about Miriam's own journey through sports journalism and what the future holds for her.

People are now starting to complain that U.S. Orchestras are not diverse enough. That it is full of mostly White people. A common problem with this mentality is that it seems to think that diversity is equivalent to talent or job qualification. However, hiring someone just based on the color of the skin as opposed to talent is, oh I don't know, RACIST! As long as someone is good at what they do, then the color of their skin shouldn't matter!   Support the show: http://www.wbap.com/chris-krok/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Brandon Laws sits down with Réland Logan and Katy Byrtus of Cinder, a staffing agency headquartered in Hillsboro, OR. The group discusses the growing emphasis on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives in today's business world. Instead of just checking the EDI box, learn some best practices for creating an authentic and equitable culture at your business.   TAKEAWAYS By beginning with a goal of equality across all people, companies will inevitably become more diverse and more inclusive. Allowing employees to air out their grievances allows Cinder to get a deeper understanding of what it is that they need.  Leaders must create a common language and understanding because we all come to work with different lived experiences and perceptions. One common challenge in cultivating effective EDI initiatives can be leaders who aren't willing to accept that there are issues that need to be resolved.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 

So much hatred, Paints our world today. So much judgment, So much violence. But at its core, This red hot hatred is fear, Roaring its terrified screams into a world it doesn't understand, And can't control. What calms the beast that shakes our lives? What dissolves the force that threatens our freedoms? What is more powerful than all of the chaos? Love. Love is togetherness, Diversity, And truth. Love is support, Empathy, And understanding. Love is patience, Openness, And depth. More empathy, less judgment. More acceptance, less othering. More love, less hate. JOURNAL PROMPTS: How can you be more love and less hate today? How can you infuse others around you with more love today?
