 Sonya Chung is the author of the novels The Loved Ones (Relegation Books, 2016) and Long for This World (Scribner, 2010). She is a staff writer for the The Millions and founding editor of Bloom, and is a recipient of a Pushcart Prize nomination, the Charles Johnson Fiction Award, the Bronx Council on the Arts Writers' Residency, a MacDowell Colony Fellowship, a Key West Literary Seminars residency, a Studios of Key West residency, and an Escape to Create residency.  Sonya's stories, reviews, & essays have appeared in The Threepenny Review, Tin House, The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, The Late American Novel: Writers on the Future of Books, Short: An International Anthology, and This is The Place: Women Writing About Home, among others. Sonya has taught fiction writing at Columbia University, NYU, and Gotham Writers' Workshop. She is the Director of Film Forum. Film ForumFilm Forum began in 1970 as an alternative screening space for independent films, with 50 folding chairs, one projector and a $19,000 annual budget. Karen Cooper became director in 1972 and under her leadership, Film Forum moved downtown to the Vandam Theater in 1975. In 1980, Cooper led the construction of a twin cinema on Watts Street. In 1990, Film Forum's current Houston Street cinema was built at a cost of $3.2 million. In 2018, Film Forum raised $5 million to renovate and expand its Houston Street cinema, upgrading the seating, legroom, and sightlines in all theaters and adding a new, 4th screen. In 2023, Cooper stepped down as Director and was succeeded by Deputy Director Sonya Chung.We present two distinct, complementary film programs – NYC theatrical premieres of American independents and foreign art films, programmed by Cooper (Advisor to the Director as of 2023), Mike Maggiore, and Sonya Chung; and, since 1987, repertory selections including foreign and American classics, genre works, festivals and directors' retrospectives, programmed by Bruce Goldstein. Our third and fourth screens are dedicated to extended runs of popular selections from both programs, as well as new films for longer engagements. Film Forum is open 365 days a year, with as many as 250,000 annual admissions, nearly 500 seats, approximately 60 employees (of which half are full time), 6,500+ members and a $7 million operating budget. Approximately 80% of our budget is spent directly on programs. As a non-profit, we raise approximately 50% of our operating income. Public funders include: The National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council for the Arts, and various NYC agencies including the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. Private donors include individuals, foundations, and corporate entities. Additionally, our members contribute more than $500,000 annually. This allows us to take risks on emerging filmmakers and challenging films. Film Forum has a $6 million endowment, begun in 2000 with a $1.25 million gift from the Ford Foundation.Film Forum is the only autonomous nonprofit cinema in New York City and one of the few in the U.S. The success of our distinctive position is evidenced by our over 50-year tenure, during which our programs and fiscal resources have grown steadily. Sadly, since the 1970s, dozens of NYC art-house theaters (and a great number throughout the U.S.) have closed their doors.As a cinema of ideas, Film Forum is committed to presenting an international array of films that treat diverse social, political, historical and cultural realities. Unlike commercial cinemas that primarily “book” high-grossing, Hollywood films, Film Forum's programs are thoughtfully selected, with attention to unique cinematic qualities, historical importance individually or within a genre and – particularly for documentaries – relevance to today's world.Elizabeth HowardElizabeth Howard is the Host of the Short Fuse Podcast.Arts Fuse The Arts Fuse was established in June, 2007 as a curated, independent online arts magazine dedicated to publishing in-depth criticism, along with high quality previews, interviews, and commentaries. The publication's over 70 freelance critics (many of them with decades of experience) cover dance, film, food, literature, music, television, theater, video games, and visual arts. There is a robust readership for arts coverage that believes that culture matters.

Karen Cooper is the Senior Manager of Product Marketing at Spectralink, specializing in helping companies create human connections. In business, Karen is known for her ability to boil complex ideas into simple narratives that touch on human emotions—and compel connection. As a technology enthusiast, she started her career as a biochemist and chemical engineer before developing into a seasoned B2B product marketer. Karen has worked in Fortune 500 companies as well as high-growth startups like Medtronic, Conga, and now Spectralink. In this episode… How do you lower your churn-rate? The answer lies in content marketing.  From crafting a generalized story to a fine-tuned narrative, what you share with your customers can help them understand how your product benefits their way of life. Or, at least, that's the notion that has led Karen Cooper to thrive in her career as an expert product marketer. All stories are connected, from the delivery driver to the CEO of your organization. The gift of crafting a narrative that drives the market is what product marketing is all about.  In this episode of The Hook, host Brendan Dell sits down to talk with Karen Cooper, Senior Manager of Global Product Marketing at Spectralink and Problem-Solver Extraordinaire!

Karen also shares some of her favorite speakers in the marketing space and the secret to a successful campaign. Stay tuned.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Karen Cooper, a team leader and coach whose real estate career spans 18 years. She has navigated the real estate rollercoaster, from working as a managing broker, to running a real estate operation that is intentionally not a rainmaker team. After observing the high turnover that these teams have, she decided to create a team with decentralized lead generation, and an environment where agents could grow and build their own personal brands.    Her passion for empowering agents drove her to create a Facebook group and coaching program that helps fellow agents gain a sense of direction and not feel the loneliness and isolation that’s so common in this industry.  She has always put client care at the center of her own real estate business and she took the client care program she developed and adopted the same methods to her coaching.    She has effectively leveraged the freedom this business gives us to create a career and business model that works for us. “There’s many ways to be successful in our business and we wanted to create our own thing.”   Karen Wenner Cooper is a wife, mom to 3 sons, lifelong Lovettsville resident, real estate coach and owner of the Platinum Group Real Estate team at Pearson Smith Realty, a team of 35 phenomenal women and moms, based in Leesburg. Licensed since 2002, she has personally helped over 700 families during her career, and exemplifies what it means to be a real estate professional. A recognized expert, she has been featured on several local, regional and global Podcasts, and been a featured speaker at the Virginia Women’s Business Conference. Passionate about helping women in the real estate industry, she is the founder of Empowering Women in Real Estate, with over 8000 members nationwide.    Real estate is a vehicle for freedom because it offers many paths to success. We don’t have to subscribe to one way of running a business, and we can build and run something we want. When people build a different model and culture, it’s not by accident, there’s intention behind it. Often it’s because we see a better, more valuable and beneficial way to hire, work and earn.   Guest Info   Karen Wenner Cooper is a wife, mom to 3 sons, lifelong Lovettsville resident, real estate coach and owner of the Platinum Group Real Estate team at Pearson Smith Realty, a team of 35 phenomenal women and moms, based in Leesburg.

The level of success that you're going to have in the listing appointment depends on how prepared you are, your ability to connect quickly and inspire confidence. Thanks for tuning into Episode 36 of Empowering Women in Real Estate, The Podcast today where Karen Cooper is sharing her *entire* playbook on listing appointments! When you are on that first phone call to schedule the listing appointment you need to ask a few key questions. Here's what they are: 1. How did you find me? 2. Tell me about your situation? (This allows you to assess their motivation.) 3. What is your expectation of value? 4. Confirm what you see on the tax record regarding bedrooms, bathrooms, fencing, etc. 5. (Don't directly ask if they are interviewing other agents.) Instead ask, "After our appointment on ... Wednesday, are you going to be ready to make a decision?" or "What does your decision timeline look like?" If they tell you that they are going to be interviewing other agents, then respond positively and boldly. (Karen's got a great way of using this potentially awkward conversation to confirm your expertise!)   When you arrive for the listing appointment bring a small gift. A pie or a plant is fantastic, just never show up empty handed.   Listen in for exactly what Karen says during each stage of the listing appointment. She recommends leading the appointment and following this sequence: tour, presentation, comps, and paperwork. It's the best way to build connections with the homeowners and demonstrate how professionally you work.   Lastly, make sure you know your worth. Know the commission rate you want and ask for it!   This episode is chock-full of wisdom. Psst! Especially listen for tips about what to do right after the listing appointment and how to be professional when you know you're being compared to other agents.   Thank you for listening!

Former co-worker and friend, Karen Cooper, joins us this week as we dissect the “Karen” slur. Our Karen is pretty far from the common memed Karens of the world but we discuss how all of us have a Karen within us, even men.

From the times its screens were first illuminated in 1970 as an alternative space for independent films, with 50 folding chairs, one projector and a $19,000 annual budget, the iconic Manhattan movie theater Film Forum has continued to be one of the country’s premiere venues for independent film. After becoming director in 1972, Karen Cooper oversaw the theater’s several moves before the current Houston Street location opened in 1990. In 2018, Film Forum renovated and expanded the Houston Street cinema, upgrading the seating, legroom and sightlines in all theaters and adding a new, 4th screen. In this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI, Film Forum director Karen Cooper and programmer Mike Maggiore discuss five decades of presenting cinema from around the world.

In Episode 104 of the HyperFast Agent Podcast, host Keri Shull moderates a panel of successful local agents at the HyperFast Sales Summit. These agents share actionable tips about how to build your business while living your best life. This conversation touches on how to start on your own path to building wealth, how to convert more listing presentations, how you can become a local celebrity when leveraging video, how to build a team that feels like a family, and more.  Episode Highlights:  Rob Chevez has been buying and flipping homes in D.C. for almost fifteen years. He sold $118 million in real estate last year. Barak Sky is an award-winning D.C. realtor and recipient of Realtor magazine's 30 Under 30 Award.  Noah Ostroff has led the #1 Keller Williams team in Philadelphia since 2014. Karen Cooper is a lifelong Virginian and the creator of Empowered Women in Real Estate. Noah Ostroff shares his method for prioritizing. Noah figures out what kinds of experiences he wants to have and then figures out how to sell real estate and do business. All of his business decisions are set up around his lifestyle goals. He knew early on in his career that if he wanted to control his time, he needed to become a listing agent. Most of the time people are willing to accommodate his boundaries around time. What was important to him long-term was freedom. The first step is just making the decision that this is what you want to do. It doesn't happen overnight. Noah encourages us to be honest with ourselves. Stop coming up with excuses about why you can't do something. Stop pretending that you're doing everything it takes but you're not getting the results. It's really a matter of getting in front of as many people as you can on a daily basis. Karen Cooper achieves 93% conversion as a listing agent. Karen trained as a listing specialist. She asks questions about whether she will be competing. If she is competing she asks who they are also interviewing because she will then come prepared to that interview with stats for herself and the other agent. When Karen arrives at the listing appointment she always brings something with  her. She brings a pie or a plant. It's a show of hospitality and respect.  Based on how they receive that gift from her she can tell how the appointment is going to go. Barak Sky shares that his team has invested in video for a year now and they are seeing results. Barak's team has a videographer and a producer on retainer. The videos are all about their culture and content that will stop someone from scrolling. Videos are the new version of the full-page magazine ad. Rob Chevez started his career flipping homes and now runs a large team. Rob switched his model from renovating 20-25 homes a year to selling 20+ homes per year as a realtor while still continuing to buy properties. Rob created Grid, a model for how people can attract investors. Over time people joined his team because he openly shared how he approached business. Elevate yourself by helping others. Barak Sky uses videos as a recruiting tool. The videos attract agents. They have initial meetings and then a ninety-day trial period. Karen Cooper shares how she balances her career and motherhood. Karen has figured out what her non-negotiables are. She never misses family dinner two nights in a row. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Getting help, and asking for it, is critical. There are two things every agent struggles with: direction and loneliness. Karen wanted to build a community for women in the business. She runs a group of 10,000 people called Empowering Women in Real Estate. 3 Key Points:   You can experience huge success while still focusing on balance.   Call before listing appointments to learn if you'll be competing. Come prepared with stats and a small gift.   Create content that will stop people from scrolling.

Welcome to The Real Estate Deep Dive Podcast with Kara Macdonald. Today Kara welcomes our special guest Karen Cooper founder of the Platinum Group Real Estate Team in Northern Virginia and she’s here with us today to teach us some new time management tricks. With time management, what works for you is always going to be an evolving thing depending on the season of your life. Kara and Karen discuss how to build a schedule that fits your life right now. If you feel like you have too many interruptions keeping you from being productive in your work, that can be very draining. Let’s talk about how to set limitations to protect your time. Often what keeps us from having these boundary conversations is the fear that our value comes from our being constantly available. Here’s the thing: It doesn’t. One of the great tricks that Karen discusses applies really well to work-life balance. Here it is: call every time commitment that you have an appointment, whether it’s a business meeting or a family event. Not only is this practice more professional, but it’ll help you guard your family time. Other great tips you’ll hear about in our conversation today include inbox management, mental resilience in the face of overwhelming pings, dings and alerts and handy hacks for laundry, cooking and cleaning. Lastly, remember that saying “yes” to one thing means saying “no" to something else. Thanks so much for tuning in! Links from today’s show: Karen is on Facebook and Instagram. Look for her as Karen W. Cooper. She’s the founder of the Facebook group Empowering Women in Real Estate which has 9,000 members! Karen has a YouTube channel called Empowering Women in Real Estate where you can check out her Time Mastery presentation at the Virginia Women's Business Conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC5UZfO685U&t=12s Dinner Belles Kitchen Cupboard: http://lovettsvilledinnerbelles.com/ Free Un-subscription Service:  unroll.me

There's a tendency to believe that achieving success is complicated, but as most successful people will attest, simplicity is the best way forward. How can simple approaches help you reach tremendous heights in your business? Can you apply simple ideas to practical manifestation? On this episode, I talk with industry veteran Karen Cooper to hear how she’s put surprisingly simple tactics into practice to great effect.     Takeaways + Tactics Be consistent. If you want to grow your business you need to have a consistent approach, whether in communication with clients or systems used in-office. Confidence is key. You can boost your confidence levels by making sure you’re constantly dealing with potential clients- even the non-serious clients. Take every interaction as a learning opportunity. Commit to a new morning ritual over a 30-day period. This is how you’ll build new habits and instill self-confidence.   At the start of the episode, Karen explained the importance of investing in your business. That investment should come not only in the form of finance, but your time and energy. With that said, Karen also shared that the time you spend should allow you to build systems that mean you do less work as your business levels up. We also discussed: That the position you’re good at now will be easily replaced by someone else when you scale your business How your time in-between transactions should be spent on creating systems Why systems are the only way forward   For the most part, our inability to reach our goals lies in our mindsets. Whether that be because of a lack of self-confidence, or insufficient motivation, we have the power to prove ourselves correct. The great news is, we also have the power to prove ourselves correct when we tell ourselves we can do something. Stop telling yourself you can’t reach new heights or complicate the process. Take the journey to success back to basics and make good on new rituals.   Guest Bio- Karen Cooper exemplifies what it means to be a real estate professional, and is one of the owners of the Platinum Group Real Estate team at Pearson Smith Realty.  Karen is an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) and has her Virginia Real Estate Broker's License, which afforded her the opportunity to spend more than 2 years managing two offices and over 100 agents for a busy Loudoun brokerage.

Karen explains to gail the difference in Upcycling and Repurposing. Gail realizes that maybe she “plans” DIY differently than many other DIY experts including Karen.  Karen likes to have a plan. Do YOU plan and sketch? Listen to the podcast to get the behind the scenes details of Karen’s favorite repurposed project using old doors from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.  Her project was even featured in This Old House!! Karen wants to encourage anyone and everyone to be brave enough to DIY and use power tools. Gail also made a project from and old door. When given the chance to ask gail a question, Karen asked what was the first BIG DIY around MY Repurposed Life—which was The Ugly Fireplace Makeover. Gail briefly mentioned blue footprints on the painted vinyl floor.   Thanks to today’s Sponsor:     Follow DIY with MRL on Facebook and listen to any episode anytime.
