What my faith needed to be about was figuring out what Jesus would do and doing it.Devin: What's your superpower, Leroy?Leroy: I've been a person who can look out and do something and bring people together to do something scary.Rosa Lee Harden and her husband and business partner, Kevin Doyle Jones, founded Neighborhood Economics as a community-focused version of the highly successful SoCap event series they created.“Back in 2008, my husband, Kevin Jones, and a bunch of us started this organization called SoCap,” Rosa Lee said. “We decided after about a decade that we wanted to go more downstream, if you will, and start working with economics in a way that could change neighborhoods for good.”The next Neighborhood Economics event is in San Antonio, Texas, on February 26 - 28, 2024. The event will feature about 70 speakers in 42 sessions over the three days.Leroy Barber, the executive director of Neighborhood Economics, joined us for this conversation. He says the enterprise brings together the world of impact investing and social entrepreneurship with his traditional focus on community development and church work. The connection to faith is more overt than implied, as it was at SoCap, recognizing faith leaders' and organizations' roles in repairing local economies. “We are mostly Christians in our organization, but we believe that faith writ large, not just Christianity, is the glue that holds the moral compass of the economy together,” Rosa Lee said. “It's important for people of faith to be in conversation with the economy.”A vital element of the event is bringing about a dozen foundations together to talk about patient capital's role in local community investing.Rosa Lee and Leroy both bring their superpowers to work. Rosa Lee's early conviction to do what Jesus would and Leroy's ability to get people together to complete scary community projects enable them to impact communities through their events.AI Episode Summary1. Devin Thorpe introduces Rosa Lee Harden, founder of Neighborhood Economics, and her colleague Leroy Barber as his guests on the "Superpowers for Good" show.2. Rosa Lee talks about starting SoCap in 2008, focusing on global impact investing, and later creating Neighborhood Economics with a more local approach to building economic justice in neighborhoods through ideas and community collaboration.3. Neighborhood Economics hosts events that bring together around 300 people to discuss actionable ways of making positive changes in local communities with input from national experts.4. Leroy Barber joined the initiative after being invited to SoCap, realizing the potential connections between social entrepreneurship, impact investing, and local community development.5. Rosa Lee highlights the purpose of Neighborhood Economics as a platform for facilitating discussions that SoCap couldn't cater to, such as impact investing for specific local contexts, and emphasizes the role of faith as a moral compass in economy-related conversations.6. Leroy explains the importance of the faith community as a mobilizer for local economic efforts, fostering a merge between the financial world and faith-directed community action.7. Rosa Lee shares details about an upcoming event in San Antonio, Texas, providing a platform for discussing various topics like reversing redlining, equitable homeownership, and employee-owned business models, alongside sessions about the role of faith in economic justice.8. Rosa Lee considers one of her superpowers to be her ability to see through superficial religious motivations and focus on living out her faith through actions that reflect a divine dream for the world, as well as her exceptional capability to organize large events without stress.9. Leroy identifies his superpower as the ability to bring people together to undertake challenging and transformative community work, fostering relationships and building unlikely alliances.10. Rosa Lee invites viewers to the Neighborhood Economics event and provides contact information for both her and Leroy—Rosa Lee at rosalee@neighborhoodeconomics.org and Leroy at leroy@neighborhoodeconomics.org—for anyone interested in connecting or learning more about their work.To help others learn about Neighborhood Economics, share this post.How to Develop Doing As Jesus Would As a SuperpowerSoCap is the living manifestation of the power of Rosa Lee's influence. Her faith led her to keep the balance at the events on impact, so the focus didn't shift entirely to making money.“The idea that was emerging in the early 2000s, that you could invest for profit in mission-based businesses, that businesses should have a mission and that they should be doing good, and that you could follow your money through that path has proved to be true,” she says. In those early days of SoCap, her influence helped to maintain the balance.By following Rosa Lee's example, you can increase your ability to apply principles of your faith in contexts outside of worship services. With practice, this could become a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.How to Develop Completing Scary Community Projects As a SuperpowerLeroy explains his superpower:My superpower is to convince people on the margins in local neighborhoods who've been underneath it for so long and are not resourced that this is possible. [Impact investors and social entrepreneurs] exist, and you can come meet them. We're going to pull all of y'all together, right? And something powerful can and will keep happening. I love the idea of that because people don't believe that that's there. My superpower is convincing people it's there.By following Leroy's example, you can make bringing people together to tackle scary problems something that you can do, too. With practice, you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileAbout Neighborhood Economics: Neighborhood Economics convenes, recruits, and connects people repairing local economies.

On today's episode of The Internship Show, we speak with Tim Agnew from Oracle. Tim is the Senior Director of Global Campus & Internship Programs who gives us insight into how their program provides early-career candidates an opportunity to control their own careers.
This week’s episode discusses one element of the mental health experience, standardized psychological testing in the clinical assessment. When an individual begins mental health treatment, any competent clinician regardless of discipline will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the client at the outset. This assessment generally includes a detailed interview of the client, and perhaps other interested parties such as parents and teachers. It will include what is said in the interviews, as well as data that the clinician observes. Observational data can include, for example, whether the client makes eye-contact, their affect, or emotional expression, if they seem agitated or depressed, or whether they are cleanly and appropriately dressed. There might be informal questionnaires, school or medical records and perhaps a referral for a medical examination. These assessments are essential to understand what is troubling a client, what might be an appropriate mental health diagnosis and how treatment should be structured to be most useful. According to the American Psychological Association, or APA, standardized psychological testing is related to but separate from the clinical assessment. It may be administered as part of clinical assessment, particularly when there is some question about appropriate diagnosis. Psychological testing may also be used to test the suitability for a job, or to predict future academic abilities. Today Tricia speaks with Dr. Dawn Vo-Jutabha, Chief Clinical Officer of The Guidance Center. Dawn earned her doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis in children and families from Clark University in 2005. Since then, she has dedicated herself to working with underserved children and families in community mental health. In addition to her role at The Guidance Center, Dawn has also held multiple leadership positions in her field. These include the Co-Chair of the Southern California Association of Psychology Training Programs, committee member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Programs and a membership on the American Psychological Association Commission on Accreditation.

On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, we interacted with Pratik Raj, the Senior HR Business Partner at Flipkart. Pratik talks about finding his way to being a Human Resources professional, structuring a successful internship programme at Flipkart, and managing teams.In addition to some actionable tips for best on-boarding experience, he talks about building a successful recognition framework and establishing a culture of employee engagement.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Significance of internships for better exposure:An internship is a pedagogy of the practical exposure every individual requires. Pratik feels that the major problem lies in the fact that our education system relies on theory. To solve the complex issues of the industry, one needs to have holistic experiences. Theoretical learnings do not offer this exposure.There are multiple opportunities for organizations and academies to collaborate and offer students to work in the corporate world. These are the same set of individuals who are going to join these organizations in a few years. Thus the organizations are investing in them a little prior to enhancing the larger talent ecosystem.Factors to be considered in the onboarding process:The virtual world has brought in many challenges in the workspace. Pratik talks about the onboarding process in his company. In the first three to six months of a new employee, whatever they bring to the table irrespective of their skillset is considered very important. They should feel psychological safety within themselves. It brings in the belongingness and their interest in the organization's growth. He further mentions that the onboarding starts as soon as the paper is signed. Pratik talks about the mix of centralized and decentralized measures in the process. One cannot have a specific checklist regarding the things to be done. From a central onboarding perspective, there are things that companies can help the employees assimilate, for example, some systems, structures, etc. These are some of the processes his organization focuses on that will help ensure that everything is pleasing for the employee. All these things should be completed before joining or within the first week of joining.One of the problems which Pratik personally picked up was the feedback they received from the employees after attempting everything. The employees do not feel that they know their peers even after months of working. That is where the role of a people manager comes into the picture. They need to ensure that the employees receive a platform where everyone is connected.How can employee engagement increase productivity?Pratik shares his personal learnings for this topic. Employee engagement is extremely important for the performance of a business. It is a function of the overall culture of the company. Pratik feels it is totally based on the way the company treats its employees. Several initiatives are being run in different organizations, and they are working out well. Concepts of employee wellness and no meeting hours can be included here.Thus the leaders in the organization must have empathy for these employees. Pratik feels that these factors have been considered effectively in the organization. One of the most important things is making work meaningful and not just an input-output matrix.Follow Pratik Raj on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Yashwanth JembigeBONUS: Here is A Comprehensive Guide to Employee Recognition for understanding the detailed benefits of employee recognition and ways to practice it.

Today, I will review five things to consider regarding visitors to your farm or homestead s that you can navigate this slippery slope with grace and humor. Thursday at 7pm - Live with the Holler Neighbors on Youtube: https://youtu.be/nhm-S4xbDuA Email feedback to nicole@livingfreeintennessee.com Stump the Sauce From Hunter: When to Work With an Established Vendor on Website Redos What’s Up in the Garden Green beans and beets are up All tomatoes and peppers are out - tomatoes have their first tiny green tomatoes which means hopefully four more weeks until harvest Rapidly seeding things all over the garden spaces in hopes of more production - we have fallen behind due to a fencing issue Lettuce is about to bolt and I have not organized my lettuce growing rotation very well to keep us in greens (luckily the chard will save my butt) Main topic of the Show: Managing Visitors to Your Farmstead Learn to say NO Set Up Touring Hours That Work For You Agrotourism Rental cabins “fun “ projects Petting zoo Seasonal fin like pumpkins or baby chicks Classes Consider Visits as a Profit Center Clear Objective Many Inexperienced Hands Make Longer Work List what you will provide vs what they need to bring Treat it like a workshop How to Set Up Farm Work Days Ongoing weekly schedule Usual versus New tasks Clarity of expectations on both sides (what they provide vs what you provide) Hands-on training Reality of the farm vs romanticized idea Internship Programs vs Farm Day In the end, wether you decide to allow visitors or helpers to your homestead or farm or not is your decision and people who become pushy about visiting are probably not the kind of people you want. On the other hand, inviting people in to see what the lifestyle is like, or to learn a bit about what you do can be great for business - both from a tourism profit standpoint and to sell what you produce. But be mindful of the roi on your time for tours, visits and helpers - many time the help that comes is more work than doing the task for yourself would be and at that point you are providing a training service - which can be great because then folks learn how much work all this growing food stuff is and are more understanding of the farm to table price point.

Do you pay them, or do you not pay them? What you need to do to get the most out of your interns. A properly structured internship program that incorporates clear expectations, accountability and purpose can create a rewarding educational opportunity for the student and the company providing the experience. Karen and Cadie's Rules for Internship Programs: 1. Intern need to be aware that they are not entitled to wage. 2. Interns must receive training. 3. Interns must get a hands-on experience with equipment or processes used in your particular industry. 4. The skills learned on the job must be considered transferable. 5. Make sure your internship program is structured and has a written process and structure. 6. Communicate expectations to interns and incorporate accountability and a formal review process of performance. 7. Work with Universities, Deans and teachers to help formulate your intern program and find your best candidates. 8. Upon internship program completion encourage the exceptional interns in helping to find their replacement. 9. Make sure you're in compliance with your internship program with the Department of Labor and the student's school and University. 10. Make sure that you and your company also learn from working with interns.

Payroll Vault - Mobile & Baldwin Counties ///////// Sharables & Tweetables One of the important things when bringing in interns is knowing what is expected of them. - Cadie Gaut Look at your interns hire dates and then write down what tasks they're currently doing, and that'll at least give you some initial data. - Cadie Gaut If you have no intern plan and you currently have interns, just look at where they're at and what they're currently doing. - Cadie Gaut I love when interns become part of the team as a full time because interns cannot expect longterm when they go into that position. An intern is a short term agreement. - Karen Simmons Internships are a learning opportunity for both parties. Cadie Gaut It's wrong not to pay somebody to do work for you. - Karen Simmons There are two types of internships: there's the unpaid college credit and paid internships. - Cadie Gaut If you are hiring someone from a university or college, you'll want to get with that school to make sure that you as the employer are meeting all of those requirements. - Karen Simmons If you are hiring an intern from a university or college, you'll want to get with that school to make sure that you as the employer are meeting all of those requirements. - Cadie Gaut There's six criteria for determining an intern status and some legal issues to look into the regulations and compensation requirements with the Department of Labor. - Cadie Gaut Interns cannot replace regular employees and they're not guaranteed a job with your organization. - Cadie Gaut Some schools are now requiring that students at least participate in one internship in order to graduate. - Cadie Gaut Document expectations and structure have a written internship program policy of process, and expectations. - Karen Simmons Get to know the professors at the colleges. Get to know the Dean. They know the students. They're working with them day in and day out, and then they can help select the best fit for what you need. - Karen Simmons Ask your intern to find their replacement, And then have them train the new intern replacement to have that seamless transition. - Karen Simmons

Ahmad Atif Ahmad’s Pitfalls of Scholarship: Lessons from Islamic Studies (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) is a unique reflection on the field of Islamic studies. It is not quite a memoir, although it is reflective of Islamic studies, academia, and higher education in general. It is also not quite a book of theory, although it offers several deep readings of various figures in the Muslim intellectual canon. Rather, it is a collection of essays. Chapter 1, for example is a rumination the humanities and its place in the modern academy. Ahmad then goes on to concept of academic frustration. He builds on this in the third chapter by examining the iconic Muslim intellectual al-Ghazali. The final chapter ties the wider world into the academy and considers themes of nationalism and democracy. In this interview, we talk to Ahmad about what it is to be a scholar in 21st-century America (and specifically a scholar of Islam in 21st-century America), the politics of the field, what it is to be bold in academia, and the value of curiosity, all with Ahmad’s jocular cheer and sage advice. Ahmad Atif Ahmad is professor of religious studies at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB). He also serves on UCSB’s 'Council on Faculty Issues and Awards' and the UC-System wide Academic Advisory Committee for Internship Programs in the University Center in Washington, DC. He previously served as associate director of the University of California Center in Washington, Sultan Qaboos Chair of Mideast Studies at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and as visiting associate professor at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The author of ‘Islamic Law: Cases, Authorities, and Worldview (London: Bloomsbury, 2017), ‘The Fatigue of the Sharia’ (NYC: Palgrave, 2012), and ‘Structural Interrelations of Theory and Practice in Islamic Law' (Leiden: Brill, 2006), Ahmad teaches courses on Islamic legal reasoning in medieval Islam and early modern Egypt.

What are the best ways to lead an intern? What would you tell your 20 year old self as an intern? BEST QUOTES “We want to help expose interns to what work is really like.” “Internships allow you to experience as much as possible without being a full time employee.” “If you have a to-do list for an intern, that is not a reason to have an internship program.” “Are you developing interns or using interns?” “As an intern, you should ask what are the goals you have for me.” “Try to find the right person for the right spot and give them a real experience.” “Tranformation is the intersection point of knowledge, experience, and coaching.” “If there is one thing that you can do is be intentional with your time and get to know as many people as possible.” “As an intern, take the posture of a learner and be open to criticism.” “You need to invite people to speak into your mistakes and then learn and grow from that.” “As an intern, go to get. Don’t just go to look around.” “Be intentional and lead an intern how you would lead your 20 year old self.” “Keep the room clean where you are and God will open the next door.” - John Piper “We need to tell our 30 year old self to have the heart of an intern and keep that mindset.” “Sometimes in an internship you are so ready for what’s next, that you miss the people who are in front of you. Just slow down and enjoy it.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Strengthfinders Myers Brigg Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Chambers New Churches resources on residency programs
