Podcasts about Formal

Moving forward after a betrayal is critical, but when the past has not been fully addressed, it becomes difficult to focus on the future. If the betrayer does not disclose the important information to the betrayed partner, the past becomes bigger than the future. In this episode I discuss the following reasons why a formal disclosure is important to betrayal healing: Help both partners enter reality Facing yourself by facing your partner Reduce shame The Power of Community in Pornography Recovery: Download Relay and try it out for free, or learn more at Relay's website.

We tend to think of artistic expression as being very personal, as coming from the artist's experiences, emotions, memories, and responses. But there are also many works of art that are not focused on personal expression. Instead, the artist is motivated to explore a more impersonal realm of ideas, patterns, and more universal concepts. For most artists, there is a balance between sources that are more and less personal, a balance in working between the heart and the mind. That individual balance is basic to the artist's voice and unique expression. Today we're going to talk about these two different approaches to making art and the balance in your own art practice. In looking at art history in these terms it is easy to see the differences, and to recognize the ways that artists have drawn from both personal and formal sources. These divisions, although they tend to overlap in any one artist's work, are useful in understanding your own preferences and tendencies, and what is important to you. Do you prefer a more intellectual, structured approach--one that is removed from pure emotion? Or is expressing your personal experiences in a freer way important to you? These divisions are simplistic, however. Even the most formal work may have emotion behind it, and the most informal relies on formal concerns like composition and the use of the visual elements. Both approaches are equally valid, from pure abstraction to the most expressive ways of working. But in getting started, formal concerns like developing technique, and understanding the visual elements are an excellent starting point for finding your personal voice. Personal expression tends to emerge from this kind of exploration, but without a firm formal grounding it is difficult to develop powerful work. It's important to develop your appreciation for the approach that feels less natural to you, and to recognize that any weakness in your own work may have its roots in that other approach. If your work is strictly formal, could it benefit from letting a little more of your more personal experience and sources come through? If strictly informal, is there enough structure to allow the viewer a way in, or a universality that allows their engagement with the image?

When the body of fourteen-year-old Chris Steiner was discovered floating in the Wisconsin River on July 10, 1994, it brought a heartbreaking end to the search for the boy who had mysteriously disappeared from his Baraboo, Wisconsin home a week earlier. Officially, the cause of death was drowning. His death was a tragic accident, and nothing more.But was it? A year later, a harrowing 911 call from 14 year old Thad Phillips would bring to light a monster in the boys' own neighborhood, one that would change the ruling in Chris Steiner's death and horrify the community forever.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1997.

Formal education is hardly the be-all end-all for intelligence. It's not even the starting place. Of course, there are various ways in which we learn and are educated to pursue what God has called us to pursue. But if we think all of those ways to learn are only housed in the package of a college program, we'd be sadly mistaken. That's because God has made each of us uniquely suited for the purposes He's called us to and that requires an education that matches; often one you can't get on paper.As we finish our conversation with Jenna this week, I'd like for us to reframe how we understand education. God has all wisdom and knowledge. He created design and arithmetic, geography and music, engineering and painting ... He is the foremost educator on everything and doesn't leave one intelligence to pick up another. So sure, we can place a value on learning an industry or craft and get to it, like Jenna did by writing 100 songs in a year. But regardless of where you are in life or business, there are some lies about education to address.

Formal treason charges and denied bail for journalist Evan Gershkovich, a rejected appeal from opposition politician Ilya Yashin (who's serving an eight-and-a-half-year prison sentence for spreading supposed “disinformation” about Russian war atrocities in Ukraine), reportedly new felony charges against jailed anti-corruption icon Alexey Navalny, and 25 years behind bars for Vladimir Kara-Murza, the anti-Kremlin politician who helped lobby into existence the Magnitsky Act, which authorizes the American government to sanction foreign government officials around the world (especially in Russia) that are human rights offenders, freezing their assets and banning them from entering the U.S. These courtroom news headlines are all from just the past few days. And this doesn't even touch on the thousands of cases against less prominent, sometimes nearly invisible activists and even apolitical types who find themselves caught in the teeth of Russia's increasingly brutal prosecution of political disloyalty. As political persecution in Russia escalates to something resembling moments from the Stalinist period, supporting the legal system's victims and simply understanding its intricacies become matters of life and death. And that is at the center of work by the journalists, lawyers, and activists who make up a project called OVD-Info. To explain the organization's operations, The Naked Pravda spoke to journalist and activist Dan Storyev, who serves as the managing editor of OVD-Info's English-language edition and the author of The Dissident Digest, a weekly newsletter summarizing and explaining major events in Russia's domestic political repressions.

This episode of The Pomp and Unpopular Podcast is a formal reintroduction. I will provide a little context on the purpose of this podcast. I realize I may have never explicitly given my “mission statement”. This is in part because I dislike disclaimers and trigger warnings, but I do believe introductions warrant an episode, so here goes! :-)

In this episode, Brandon and I dig into Covey's 4 Disciplines of Execution model, and spend some hang time on Accountability- inspecting what we expect. We also get deep into "controlling what can be controlled", ie. Covey's "leading measures". The model is simple, and easy to teach the leaders on your team- a solid framework, that frankly, all the fancy new(er) management models like EOS and Pinnacle seem to be built around.

Vladimir Kara-Murza, the Russian political activist and Washington Post columnist, has been sentenced by a Russian court to 25 years in prison. Washington Post editorial page editor David Shipley speaks with Kara-Murza's wife, Evgenia Kara-Murza, and defense attorney, Vadim Prokhorov, about the case, his current detention and the future of free speech in Russia. Conversation recorded on Monday, April 17, 2023.

One of my favorite episode types is the myth-buster. We take commonly held ideas and perspectives, and then take a wrecking ball to them so you get a different outlook and new insights you can use. Today, I'm joined by my wife and business partner, and our head copywriter, to talk about five big myths related to websites and copywriting. We discuss: - Formal v. conversational voice for luxury vendors - What comes first: website design or copywriting - What to do with price on your website - And other big myths you might've heard about in the industry   Enjoy the episode!

Formal discussions and sit downs with your players are necessary to run an efficient program, to build trust and to show transparency within your program. This week, Tony and I discuss things that you should do in your exit interviews, things not to do and other ideas to help with your formal sit downs with your players. We also have our weekly trivia, an extended numbers discussion and the usual off-topic chatter. Enjoy!

No matter how well we communicate, there's always going to be a gap between what we felt like we communicated, and what the other person(s) felt like they heard. But we can work to close that gap, and reap the rewards, both in our business and in our personal relationships. In today's show Brandon and I share few stories and some tips on creating more clarity with our team, and within our family. (Or marriage

Today, the Two Mikes were fortunate to again host journalist Ed Yeranian for a discussion about some of the recent events in the Middle East, evenst which he has been covering for more than thirty years. Mr. Yeranian explained that the recent, China-brokered resumption of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia might well turn out to be an important talking point, but little more than window dressing. He said that talks had been occurring in Baghdad between the Chinese and the Iranians and Saudis for the past 2.5 years and five individual bargaining sessions. Formal relations between two are meant to be restored in two months, but whether that occurs or not the deal can be seen as a plus for the Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Muhammed Bin Sultan as he approaches his transition to being king when his very sick father passes away. In regard to Yemen, Mr. Yeranian noted that while the opposing sides in theYemeni war are negotiating a prisoner swap in Geneva, peace in Yemen is still fairly far beyond the horizon as it is very unlikely that the Iranians and the Houthi allies will stop fighting. Peace in Syria also is not likely as the champions of a natural-gas pipeline running from Iraq, through northern Syria, to the Mediterranean Sea have little interest in peace unless a pipeline is guaranteed.He also mentioned that Syria is slowly returning to the Arab fold. The UAE has reopened its embassy in Damascus and Tunisia may soon do likewise. The Arab League, however, is still keeping Damascus at arm's length.

Season 4!  No degree no problem!  Bring good values though!  Where did you go to school?  Where do you work?  What you need to know is how to network, interview, and sell yourself!  No formal degree is needed to be a genius! If people are asking about your degree you are probably doing something wrong.  The beauty of showing up on social media has helped Jonaed Iqbal land jobs! Born in Bangladesh, from a large family, Jonaed splits his time between Twitter, TikTok, and Linkedin! He's done over 400 resumes and he supports many online. Jonaed's dad wasn't around during the first year of his life, but he learned all about him from his cousins.  Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy. “The value of work is something that goes beyond a degree, wealth, or prestige. It is about being independent and achieving financial freedom. Regardless of background, academic achievement, or formal education, everyone has something to offer. Jonaed Iqbal believes everyone should be able to find a meaningful job.” - Kenneth Atkins   Jonaed Iqbal is a career consultant based in New York City. He has set out with a goal to assist people without college degrees find new job opportunities.   He is the founder of NoDegree.com. The website is home to an innovative local job search platform, which aims to connect people with suitable career paths, even without formal degrees.   Education is often costly and not easy to access for some people — especially young men and women. However, the absence of a degree doesn't mean a lack of talent or skills. In fact, there are many passionate, qualified, and hard-working people around us. They're all searching for the perfect opportunities, often bouncing from closed door to closed door. Through NoDegree.com, Jonaed wants to reach out to those people, and he has designed the platform to help them access new possibilities.   NoDegree.com is a very intuitive and easy-to-use platform. It is all about redefining the job search process for employment seekers. Jonaed took an in-depth look at the current state of the job market. He observed the flaws of many job posting platforms and their lackluster results. He came up with a service that would lead to more accurate and clear posts from employers looking for the best candidates. Through NoDegree.com, employers can post better ads. In turn, better job ads attract higher quality job seekers, who might be a better match.   Based in the New York City area, Jonaed has an extensive professional background across various industries. He has served as an actuary at MetLife and worked as a financial analyst and consultant for New York City public schools. Believing in the potential of his idea, he decided to launch NoDegree.com and pursue speaking engagements on a full-time basis. He now focuses on running NoDegree.com. The site serves job seekers and employers in the New York City area at the moment, but Jonaed plans on expanding it in the future.   Jonaed is a friendly and open-minded person, dedicated to his family and friends.

In this show, Brandon and I discuss what it really means to be customer-centric in how we're delivering service, in particular to commercial clients. Do you feel like you're running a customer-centric business? What happens when a client wants you to deviate from your process or standards? Is there room in your process for that? Do you take time to be curious about why the customer is making certain requests or demands? It's easy for us to get so married to our internal process and so religious about our convictions when it comes to IICRC standards, that we fail to honor the relationship with our client. What they need and/or want, may require us to adapt or modify our process. It's possible to do that, while still maintaining our integrity as a team and produce the margins we need to remain healthy as a business.

What challenges do product managers face in highly regulated industries like healthcare and finance? In this episode of the Product Thinking podcast, Melissa Perri speaks with Colin Anawaty about his journey to co-founding First Dollar and the challenges of navigating a highly regulated industry. Colin shares his insights on Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), the benefits of utilizing them, and why he thinks they should be more widely available to all Americans. He also discusses the importance of personal and career growth within startups, and the value of providing clear career paths to employees. He describes how First Dollar evolved into a platform, and how their focus on addressing healthcare inequities and tying together healthcare and finance can lead to incentivizing better outcomes for all.  Colin Anawaty is the Chief Product Officer of First Dollar, a health wallet platform that provides its services to plan administrators to help consumers utilize their health benefits more easily and effectively. Colin has over six years of experience in healthcare and previously worked in the prepaid industry. Before joining First Dollar, Colin worked at athenahealth, where he and Melissa first met. Colin is a product management expert with a strong focus on healthcare and finance and has a passion for helping people make the most of their healthcare benefits. Here are some ideas you'll hear Colin and Melissa discuss: Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a type of account created by the US government to make healthcare more affordable through pre-tax contributions. Unlike other benefits, such as FSAs and HRAs, HSAs can be kept even after leaving employment and can be invested for future use. Colin believes that HSAs should be more widely available to all Americans. The healthcare and finance industries are complex and highly regulated, and it can be challenging for product managers to become subject matter experts in both areas. Colin and his team learned about the industries by using resources such as industry experts and advisory boards, and they also hired people who had a mix of product management experience and expertise in either healthcare or finance. When hiring product managers for a startup, Colin looks for people who have the drive to learn and grow, and who have taken courses in product management. It's important to align product managers with the product lines they oversee and to focus on problem discovery and working with customers. Product managers need to be curious and open to learning about new things, especially when dealing with complexity. Formal training, subject matter experts, and nonprofit organizations can all help product managers get up to speed on regulations and compliance. Embedding security ops and compliance into the culture of a company can make it less scary and more manageable for everyone involved. Creating a consumer advisory board or incorporating customer engagement into terms of service can help companies navigate legal and compliance issues when trying to work directly with end users. Big companies prioritize change management and stability, while startups prioritize velocity and rapid iteration to achieve product-market fit. First Dollar started with a mission to help people shop for care but pivoted to become a platform for HSAs and FSAs. Resources: Colin Anawaty on LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram  First Dollar

Here are some ideas you'll hear Colin and Melissa discuss: Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a type of account created by the US government to make healthcare more affordable through pre-tax contributions. Unlike other benefits, such as FSAs and HRAs, HSAs can be kept even after leaving employment and can be invested for future use. Colin believes that HSAs should be more widely available to all Americans. The healthcare and finance industries are complex and highly regulated, and it can be challenging for product managers to become subject matter experts in both areas. Colin and his team learned about the industries by using resources such as industry experts and advisory boards, and they also hired people who had a mix of product management experience and expertise in either healthcare or finance. When hiring product managers for a startup, Colin looks for people who have the drive to learn and grow, and who have taken courses in product management. It's important to align product managers with the product lines they oversee and to focus on problem discovery and working with customers. Product managers need to be curious and open to learning about new things, especially when dealing with complexity. Formal training, subject matter experts, and nonprofit organizations can all help product managers get up to speed on regulations and compliance. Embedding security ops and compliance into the culture of a company can make it less scary and more manageable for everyone involved. Creating a consumer advisory board or incorporating customer engagement into terms of service can help companies navigate legal and compliance issues when trying to work directly with end users. Big companies prioritize change management and stability, while startups prioritize velocity and rapid iteration to achieve product-market fit. First Dollar started with a mission to help people shop for care but pivoted to become a platform for HSAs and FSAs. Resources: Colin Anawaty on LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram  First Dollar
