A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   When I first interviewed Elena in 2013, she had just won the Entrepreneur Challenge and Competition. She was launching her Taiwanese tea business Té online.  Since then, I’ve wondered how she was doing and a couple of years later, I learned that Elena had opened a tearoom in the West Village.   I’ve visited the tearoom and it is a place of pure zen where tea drinking becomes a ritual. A true ambassador of tea, Elena sees the tearoom as a way to connect with others, to experience tea, and to demonstrate how it is brewed. Many of her customers are dedicated tea drinkers who first cultivate their tea drinking habits there. In this space, tea drinking is an activity of tranquil introspection.   In October of 2017 I invited Elena back on to Talking Taiwan for an update.   Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in the podcast:   What’s happened since the last time Elena was interviewed on Talking Taiwan in 2013 What it was like opening and running the tea shop The tea education and tea tastings that Té offers How Elena was able to get press for Té Advice for people who want to open a brick and mortar store like Té What’s next, her future plans for Té       Related Links:   Té Company: https://www.te-nyc.com/   Té Company on Instagram: www.instagram.com/tecompany/   Té Company on Facebook page: www.facebook.com/tecompany   Té Company on Twitter: www.twitter.com/tecompany   Elena’s 2013 interview on Talking Taiwan: https://www.talkingtaiwan.com/tt027-elena-liao/

(Photograph ©2019, Josh New, and used with permission.) Virtual reality, plus humanitarian goals, may equal a better world.  And that's the vision with which International Reacue Committee Emergency Accountability Coordinator Elena Chopyak is working.  She's creating a new pilot program which uses VR to accomplish IRC's training goals. Nonprofit International Rescue Committee has been responding to the world's worst crises since the 1930s.  The organization began with an idea from Albert Einstein.  His goal: to provide humanitarian aid to refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. Almost ninety years later, IRC continues to provide resources, empowerment, health services and education to people whose lives have been upended by war, unrest and natural disasters. Elena says that she first had the idea of worldwide mixed-reality training a year ago.   The pandemic, with its restrictions on travel, made the use of VR seem much more viable. Elena talked about her background, gave an update on her pilot program and projected the directions in which she'd like to see it grow. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear: How Elena first became inspired to use her talents in humanitarian work; How she began working for the International Rescue Committee; The story of Elena's implementation of the pilot program; Which applications proved most workable for IRC's workshops and remote conversations; The obstacles to overcome, since IRC serves more than 40 countries worldwide; Some of the ways IRC might collaborate with others to make this program a reality; An update and timeline on the pilot program's progress; What a trainee will experience, in one of the simulations in this particular program; Where Elena would like to see the pilot program grow, in the next five years; How you can get involved, if you'd like to help!; One favorite experience Elena has had, involving VR; Elena's advice to anyone who'd like to make a difference with virtual reality in their area; AND, several resources she recommends!

Elena Bensonoff is the founder of Wholistic Inc., Published Author, World Renowned Wholistic Teacher, Clinical Pharmacist, Diplomate in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine, Award Winning Natural Perfumer, and Creator of the Wholistic Wisdom Program and Masterclass, which have helped thousands of people all over the world harness their inner healing power to end their struggles with Chronic Illness once and for all. Elena started her career as a clinical pharmacist but quickly found that she was not fulfilled with this career path. During a health crisis in her life, doctors told Elena that she would need to stay on multiple different medications. Elena was determined to find a different solution. She discovered that diet, stress and environment were playing a large role in her health, so she became determined to change it. She also started exploring healing modalities. She was invited to attend an American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine conference. This conference was her first real introduction to traditional holistic practices. Elena became captivated by the research and case studies supporting natural healing techniques and it confirmed her beliefs about how toxic many of the ingredients in Western medicine are. The most powerful realization Elena had on her path was that true healing doesn’t come in a pill bottle. It comes from within. Every person holds the key to their own healing. All they need is a guiding light to empower them with love, wisdom, and support. Thus, Wholistic, Inc. was born, and this is what Elena has herself to for over 20 years. Now, her only career goal is to expand the network of empowered self-healers and lightworkers all over the world through infusing light, love, and wisdom into her books, meditations, and internationally renowned Wholistic courses.

Let’s Fix Work Episode 92: On today's show, I'm speaking to Elena Valentine, the Co-Founder, CEO, and Servant Leader of Skill Scout, a Chicago-based filmmaking company. Elena and her colleagues are workplace documentarians—they tell workplace stories. What's a workplace story? Well, it could be a video on a careers page. It could be a film attached to a job description. Or, it could be a welcome video on your first day of work.  Listen in as Elena and I talk about the many different work environments and how every job has a purpose and a story behind it. If you're interested in a far-ranging discussion about workplace identity, tune into this episode of Let’s Fix Work.    In this episode you’ll hear: BTS (behind the scenes) of a workplace filmmaker, what they do and how they do it. How social justice and equality intersect in workplace storytelling. Bridging the gap between HR departments and people in power with those doing the work. How Elena became a workplace filmmaker and why this is important to her. Elena answers the question, “Are there work environments that lend themselves to better stories compared to others?” The ethical dilemma of being asked to work with a company or organization whose values, mission, or viewpoints don’t necessarily match your values or those of your company.   Resources from this episode: Skill Scout Skill Scout on YouTube Elena on Twitter Elena on LinkedIn Laurie on Instagram Laurie on LinkedIn Read more from Laurie Work with Laurie   *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.
