This is part 1 of a conversation with Chirag Patel. Chirag is based in London where consults on the ethical and science-based practice of behavior management and training for animals housed in domestic, zoo, and laboratory environments. Chirag earned his BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Sciences from the Royal Veterinary College in London and a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Animal Behavior from the University of Lincoln, UK. He is also a certified parrot behavior consultant (CPBC) with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). Currently, Chirag is studying for a MSc in Applied Behavior Analysis. Chirag is a member of the Clicker Expo faculty which is where I first met him. The Clicker Expo is the reason behind this conversation. For several years now Chirag and several other faculty members have done a presentation that they call The Backstage Pass. Basically each trainer picks a dog/handler team from the audience and works with that team on stage towards a stated goal behavior. Each team works with the trainer for a few minutes at a time, then there's a discussion of the why's and wherefores of the methods used. It's an interesting presentation. You get to see different styles of training as each trainer gets to know the dog and the handler they are working with. This year they decided to do something a little different. Instead of inviting dog specialists to participate as the trainers, they decided to ask faculty members who don't typically work with dogs. When they asked me, for some very bizarre reason, I said yes. Chirag will be the ring master for the backstage pass. When I've watched him in previous years I've seen that he is a very creative trainer who comes up with some inventive solutions for helping dogs and handlers to be at ease. His training style is very different from mine which for me is of interest.

Head & Heart: The Formula for Audience Connection Motivation vs. Information: What Makes a Great Speaker? Episode 294 (Martin is based in Toronto) In this conversation with Martin Peremuter we explore: how evergreen topics like leadership and trust continue to anchor conferences why AI dominates current conference agendas what an audience can realistically apply from a one-hour keynote the balance between information and motivation why sleeping audiences don't learn how cultural differences affect speaking styles and expectations the strategic value of the pre-event call why the gig starts before stepping on stage how integrity off stage affects booking success how to connect with both analytical and emotional audience members why audience interaction must be earned how conference organizers should define purpose and desired behavior change ----- About our guest, Martin Permuter: Martin is the president and co-founder of Speaker's Spotlight, a speaker booking agency.  He has personally booked over 9,000 speaking engagements in the past 30 years.

According to the World Bank, some 3.5 billion people live on less than $7 a day. That's more than 40% of the global population. Almost 700 million of those individuals live in extreme poverty, getting by on less than $2.15 a day. In the US in 2024, almost 40 million Americans were living in poverty, according to the U.S. Census. But what do all these numbers mean? How do the people researching income inequality measure poverty, and how reliable are those measurements? That's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest David Johnson. David Johnson is the executive director of the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth. Prior to that, he served as a study director for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and medicine, for a report called, "Creating an integrated system of data and statistics on household income, consumption and wealth.".

At the Census, he led the implementation of the supplemental poverty measure and the reengineering of the Survey of Income and Program Participation.

High-conflict divorce isn't just a legal process—it can feel like daily psychological pressure. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Avik (with Sana filling in), we talk about what it really takes to stay grounded when conflict keeps coming and your emotional bandwidth is already stretched thin. This conversation is for parents navigating custody stress, courtroom anxiety, and the fear of “messing up” their kids emotionally. Guest Alex Dane shares lived, practical strategies for staying steady, protecting credibility, and separating parenting from legal warfare—so survival can become a path back to clarity and self-trust.

Confidence is not about loving how you look. It is about resilience, safety, and agency in eating disorder recovery. In this thoughtful and grounded conversation, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with therapist, educator, and podcast host Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC @raquelleheinemann, to explore the deeper emotional and relational layers beneath body image distress and disordered eating. Rather than focusing only on surface-level body image strategies, this episode examines how confidence develops through resilience, meaningful connection, personal agency, and small intentional steps taken over time. Together, they discuss why traditional approaches to body image may feel incomplete, how unsafe environments can intensify negative body thoughts, and what it truly means to cultivate confidence in the context of eating disorder recovery. This conversation offers compassionate, clinically informed insight for anyone navigating body image struggles, low self-esteem, chronic disordered eating patterns, or the long path of healing. What We Explore in This Episode The relationship between body image, confidence, and disordered eating. Why confidence is better understood as resilience rather than appearance or personality. How safety, stress, and environmental context influence body image distress. The role of agency, assertiveness, and small achievable steps in recovery. Why meaningful, supportive relationships are foundational to confidence building. How deeper emotional needs often drive body image pain more than physical appearance. Practical ways to begin cultivating resilience in eating disorder recovery. A Different Way to Understand Confidence Many conversations about confidence center on visibility, charisma, or loving one's body at all times. In this episode, Raquelle offers a more compassionate and realistic framework: confidence as an internal, flexible resilience that can grow even when fear, uncertainty, or body image distress are still present. Through clinical stories and lived therapeutic insight, this discussion reframes confidence as something that develops through curiosity, connection, and repeated small acts of courage, rather than perfection or performance. About Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC Rachelle Heinemann is a licensed mental health counselor in New York and a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey. She specializes in working with individuals experiencing disordered eating, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She teaches courses on eating disorders and body image, provides continuing education for clinicians, and hosts the podcast Understanding Disordered Eating. Raquelle also contributes leadership within the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals New York.

Most of us were never actually taught how to communicate with other adults.We were conditioned to talk as kids, then we grew up and started leading teams, negotiating agreements, parenting, coaching, and managing high-stakes conversations.In this solo episode, I'm introducing the Disciplined Listening Method and walking through what it is, why I created it, and how you can start applying it right away.This method is built from behavioral science, interview and interrogation research, and real-world business communication. But at its core, it is simple.Create the communication experience the other person needs.When you do that consistently, you reduce resistance. You build trust. You create commitment instead of compliance.In this episode, I break down what makes a conversation high impact and the seven core behaviors that help you prepare, engage, and follow up with discipline.If you lead people, influence decisions, negotiate agreements, or want stronger relationships at home and at work, this is the foundation.Chapters(00:00) - Why This Series Matters(03:45) - What Is the Disciplined Listening Method(07:50) - Defining High Impact Conversations(12:15) - The Psychology of Commitment(16:30) - Three Core Communication Guidelines(22:45) - The Seven Behaviors(27:35) - Building Trust EquityConnect with MichaelWebsite: https://michaelreddington.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelreddington/Grab the Book!

During this episode you will learn from Rev. Dr. Stephanie Holmes and Rev. Dan Holmes who are not only ordained ministers but a happily married neurodiverse couple of 30 years! Stephanie & Dan coach couples  primarily who are faith-based  and will share how the role of faith can help build connection and intimacy in the neurodiverse couple or how the rules, roles and rigidity of religion can bring disconnection in the neurodiverse relationship. Stephanie and Dan Holmes write from lived experience as a NeuroDiverse Christian Couple (NDCC) as well as professional experience working with NDCCs. Their first book, written with their adult children, Embracing the Autism Spectrum: Finding Hope & Joy Navigating the NeuroDiverse Family Journey focuses on their parenting journey of neurodivergent children and discovering their own neurodiversity in marriage. Dr. Stephanie C. Holmes received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Campbell University, her Master's in counseling from Liberty University, and her doctorate in education from Abilene Christian University. She is an ordained minister, author, autism researcher, speaker, and certified autism specialist. When her daughter Sydney was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, her world and focus changed from a thriving marriage and family therapy practice to a world of Individualized Education Programs, 504 educational plans, and understanding how to help students and individuals with challenges and needs in the classroom and the church setting. She is the owner and founder of Autism Spectrum Resources for Marriage & Family, LLC, and she and Dan are co-founders of The International Association of NeuroDiverse Christian Marriage, LLC, and the podcast NeuroDiverse Christian Couples. Dan Holmes is a seasoned leader with a rich background in systems architecture, design, and consulting. He received his bachelor's degree in management information systems from The University of Charlotte and his Masters in computer science through The Georgia Institute of Technology. He is also a professional coach who guides Neurodivergent men, helping them harness their unique potential in personal and professional spheres. These dual roles allow him to integrate innovative thinking with empathy, fostering a culture of understanding and driving holistic growth. Dan is an ordained minister, Master Life Coach, and has served in church ministry through band ministry, small group leadership and board leadership. He received his own identification on the spectrum in 2019. Their book, Uniquely Us is based on published research from Dan's later-in-life adult autism diagnosis and focuses on faith, marriage and autism. It then examines how neurodiversity and faith create a complex relationship dynamic for NeuroDiverse Christian Couples.

Meghan Markle is facing online ridicule after posting a promotional clip for her As Ever tea that critics claim looked “unhygienic.” The Instagram Story showed hot water being poured into a pink heart-shaped mug, but viewers fixated on what appeared to be stained white tile beneath it.

In Episode 359 of The Canine Paradigm, Pat drops a classic ethics grenade on Glenn: the trolley problem of five versus one. An out of control trolley is racing down the track and you are standing next to the lever. On one track, five people are tied down. On the other, one person is tied down. You can pull the lever or you can do nothing, and either way someone pays the price.We unpack what that dilemma reveals about values, responsibility, and how people justify hard decisions. Then, as we always do, we drag it back to dogs. Training and behaviour work often forces choices between competing outcomes, safety versus freedom, fairness versus convenience, short term compliance versus long term understanding. Sometimes the decision is not comfortable, but it is still required.This episode is part philosophy, part dog training reality check, and it will make you think about why you do what you do when the pressure is on.

How Christ and His Word shaped my convictions and led me to IABC Jeff Christianson's Story with IABC — Why Christ and His Word Are Enough Many people know the International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC), but fewer know the personal story behind how I came to love and serve this ministry. As the current Board President and Executive Director, I wanted to take a moment to share a bit of my journey — not to spotlight myself, but to invite a conversation with those who care deeply about Christ-centered, Scripture-sufficient soul care. My introduction to biblical counseling began in the mid-1990s during Bible college. I took an elective course called Counseling God's Way taught by Bob Hoekstra. That class immediately resonated with me because it wasn't counseling as the world defines it — it was discipleship. It was the Word of God applied to the heart, anchored in the sufficiency of Christ. From there, I was shaped by ministries like the Biblical Counseling Foundation and resources such as the Self-Confrontation Manual, which challenged me to examine my life in light of Scripture (2 Corinthians 13:5). Over time, I became familiar with the broader biblical counseling movement, including organizations like NANC (now ACBC), and I began to see distinct streams developing. What drew me toward IABC was its pastoral warmth, its local-church rootedness, and its unwavering commitment to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6) and that His Word is enough to equip God's people for life and godliness. This special podcast episode shares that story — how the Lord grew my convictions, clarified my calling, and led me into this lane of ministry. If you've ever wondered where IABC fits historically, or if you share a desire to "return to the Word," I invite you to listen and join the conversation. "Preach the word… fulfill your ministry." (2 Timothy 4:2–5)

In Episode 358 of The Canine Paradigm, we talk about tool bans and the wider pattern behind them. Across Australia and elsewhere, governments appear willing to trade away rights and privileges without proper consent, expert input, or ethical process. We unpack why this worries dog owners, trainers, and working-dog handlers, and why many feel angry and disappointed with leadership that seems to act first and consult later.We discuss what “consultation” should mean, how evidence should be weighed, and how tool removal can harm outcomes for dogs when nuance is ignored. Then we outline practical, professional actions for anyone who wants to contribute constructively: read drafts, ask for the data set, submit calm feedback, contact your local member, support credible peak bodies, and challenge bad arguments without personal attacks. The goal is workable standards that protect dogs and the public, not headline wins. Further Details Are you in search of top-tier dog trainers and steadfast supporters of the Canine Paradigm?

In Episode 357 of The Canine Paradigm, we unpack a simple truth. When a dog does not know what earns success, confusion grows, and confusion creates conflict. We look at how to define success clearly, how to show the dog what “good” looks like, and how to design training futures so today's choices support tomorrow's behaviour. Then we discuss clean criteria, plain language markers, and reinforcement that truly matches the behaviour you want. We talk about splitting steps, rehearsing short wins, and avoiding mixed messages that push the dog into conflict. Then we map training futures. If you plan to trial, travel, live in a busy family, or manage reactivity, what must the dog learn now so the future is easier, not harder? You will leave with a tidy framework. Set the goal, write the criteria, pick the markers, choose the reinforcers, and test the picture in new places. When success is obvious and repeatable, conflict drops and progress speeds up.

How professional development and resources from AMEC can strengthen measurement skills and PR strategy Quotables“When we looked at the Barcelona Principles, because they were rooted in best practice, a lot of them are just making them clearer statements.” — Johna Burke"Supporting the Barcelona Principles, being compliant, helps communicators make a greater value to their organization and gives credibility and reliability to their data." — Johna Burke“It gives you the planning elements, and it is a fill in the text box for what you are doing, starting with your objective and going through to put your activities, your outputs, the outcome, so that when you use this with your team and you put everything in the framework, it also helps you understand which efforts are paid, earned, shared, and owned.” — Johna Burke“Use it as the planning tool as much as you use it as a measurement tool, which arguably, if you're doing measurement effectively, you need to have good concrete planning in place to have those well-defined objectives to know and understand what's working and what's not working.” — Johna BurkeIf you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it with a colleague or friend.

Happy New Year and welcome back to The Canine Paradigm. We start 2026 with a clear message. Too many rules and laws are being introduced at speed, without fair consultation, and often without evidence that they will achieve what is claimed. In Episode 356, I don't approve so I want it banned is the belief we are pushing back against. We talk about how sudden bans and policy shifts affect dogs, owners, trainers and the wider community. We look at the real cost of rushed regulation, the way lobby groups and loud voices can drown out good data, and why professional, respectful pushback matters. Most of all, we call on our community to act like adults. Ask for the evidence. Read the draft. Submit feedback. Write to your MP or councillor. Support peak bodies and experts who show their work. Name poor process without insulting people. Hold a line without losing your head. If you care about workable standards, fair consultation and policies that actually help dogs and families, this is your episode. Clarity beats outrage. Process beats posturing. Let's lift the level.

Not just empathy flowing downward from leaders to teams, but empathy for your leaders: understanding their pressures, challenges, and decision-making context so you can build trust, influence outcomes, and create mutual success.Given multiple generations in the workforce, we need empathy flowing up for leaders dealing with added pressures and mental health issues right now. Today's guest, Catherine Ducharme—Founder of Fluency Leadership, award-winning communicator, certified coach, and TEDx speaker—has spent over 30 years helping leaders and teams lead with heart, curiosity, and inspiration. She shares her own story of learning to manage up, the mindset shifts that change everything, and practical ways to anticipate needs, respond more effectively, and position yourself as a strategic leader.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…How to shift your own perspective, rather than trying to change others.Ways to hold your boundaries, while still meeting people where they are.The team building skills you cultivate when you engage in everyday activities with coworkers.Why is there nothing small about small talk or soft about soft skills?

In Episode 355 of The Canine Paradigm, we ask a simple question with a messy answer. Is a tired dog a good dog, or just a flat one? We look at why clients and trainers sometimes try to tire the dog out before a lesson, and when that helps or hurts. Then, we weigh arousal, clarity, and quality of reps, and we talk about warm ups, decompression, and sensible resets.We also touch on session design, neutral exposures, and how to set criteria that the dog can actually meet. Sometimes you need a little exercise to take the edge off. Sometimes you need freshness, focus, and fuel in the tank. Choosing well is the craft.To keep spirits high, we finish with a few side notes and celebrate Step Brothers as one of the greatest films ever made. Boats and Hoes does not make it into the training plan, but it does make us laugh. Further Details Are you in search of top-tier dog trainers and steadfast supporters of the Canine Paradigm?

This episode explores one of the most compelling areas of near-death research: documented spiritual near-death experiences reported by children. While adult accounts of NDEs are widely discussed, children's experiences offer a distinct and often unsettling clarity. With minimal exposure to religious doctrine or cultural narratives about death, children tend to describe what they experienced without symbolic overlay, interpretation, or fear.Drawing on named, traceable cases documented by pediatrician and researcher Melvin Morse, as well as long-term analyses by P.M.H. Atwater, this episode focuses on what children themselves reported after surviving life-threatening events such as drowning, cardiac arrest, and severe illness.In case after case, children described leaving their physical bodies with little distress and observing medical resuscitation efforts from an external vantage point. Several accounts included accurate descriptions of hospital rooms, procedures, or family members' actions during periods when the child was clinically unresponsive. These observations were later corroborated by medical staff or parents.Beyond out-of-body perception, many children reported entering environments characterized by intense light, vivid landscapes, or a sense of peace and safety. Unlike adult accounts, children rarely described judgment, life reviews, or moral evaluation. Instead, their experiences emphasized belonging, familiarity, and unconditional acceptance. Morse noted that children often struggled to describe the light they encountered, insisting it was not merely visual but relational, something that “knew” them.Some of the most striking cases involved children encountering deceased relatives they had never consciously known. In multiple documented instances, children identified grandparents or siblings who had died before they were born, later recognizing them in photographs. These encounters were described casually, without surprise, as if meeting someone expected.The episode also examines what happened after children returned. Long-term follow-up interviews revealed consistent aftereffects: reduced fear of death, heightened empathy, and an increased sensitivity to others' emotions. Many children spoke calmly about dying and, in some cases, reassured adults during later illnesses or family crises. These statements were framed not as beliefs, but as memories.Importantly, the children themselves did not question the reality of their experiences. Years later, many maintained that what happened was not a dream or hallucination. This certainty was typically quiet and private, shaping their outlook without becoming performative or doctrinal.By focusing on named cases preserved in published research and presentations associated with the International Association for Near-Death Studies, this episode avoids speculation and instead centers on testimony. Children do not offer explanations for what they experienced. They simply describe where they went, and insist that it was real. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
