What to listen for:"Get a dog, take the dog you have, start training, do it yourself. Yes, the client dogs will come, the other pieces will come, but get yourself out there."2/3 of our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, sit down with Katelyn Graham from Katalyst Kennels, who shares her expertise in breeding and training Labrador Retrievers for detection tasks while managing a multifaceted kennel operation!Katelyn's going deep into producing what she calls “green dogs”: canine companions who are behaviorally and health-wise ready for specialized training without formal odor imprinting.She encourages handlers to put considerable focus into young dog development, from day zero to 12-18 months, the period in which environmental exposure and hunting skills are best shaped. Focusing your training around this period ensures that your dog is versatile for tasks like narcotics or explosives detection.Katelyn also acknowledges the emotional and logistical challenges of breeding, such as managing failed litters or health crises (citing one puppy's staggering $15,000 jaw surgery as an example).Her pet boarding business subsidizes these costs, which is a great way for handlers to weigh the ethical pros and cons of these heavy decisions without the financial pressure. For aspiring trainers, she advises hands-on experience over formal education alone, urging them to embrace grunt work and early morning tracking sessions to gain practical skills.Katelyn believes that success demands relentless dedication, from sleepless nights with puppies to mentoring eager learners, all to ensure quality working dogs for critical roles! Key Topics:All About Katelyn Graham (01:28)What is a “Green Dog”?  (07:23)Selection Testing on Puppies (13:41)Tailoring Testing to the Current Realities of Field Trials (22:27)Challenges of Breeding (27:55)Advice for Aspiring Trainers (32:56)Key Takeaways (43:56) Resources:Katalyst Kennels (Website)Katalyst Kennels (Facebook)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Back in November, Kate Graham (who you may remember from episode 40) interviewed me as part of her Oracle Mountain Chats - a series of conversations with the speakers and visionaries of the first ever OracleFest. I really enjoyed our conversation and thought I'd share it with you all here. You'll hear us chat about:  titles and roles like “oracle” or “shaman” in modern times; why I think the practice of animist kinship might have kept our ancestors from experiencing burnout; how our disdain for our pre-industrial ancestors might keep us disconnected from wisdom and possibility; the call of these times to reclaim our humanity and what practices might bring us there; what forces are shaping us and how they leave us feeling broken and flawed; our purpose individually and as humans; the one practice I'd like to suggest or invite people into in these times; some more of my own “healing journey” …and more OracleFest Online will be happening Jan 31-Feb 2, 2025. You can still join us if you want to: https://oraclefest.com/?aff=kate_wildsacredjourney ________________________ Otherwise, you can find me: Website: www.wildsacredjourney.com Email – kate@wildsacredjourney.com Instagram: @wildsacredjourney_kp

We hope you enjoy this interview with Kate Graham. See the notes below by Kate. You can find Kate at Heart's Frontier for healing at www.heartsfrontier.com and on Instagram at @shamanicoraclekate. "You cannot solve your problems with the same thinking you used to create them." Meet Kate Graham, shamanic oracle Highly Claircognizant Clairsentient Oracle | Business Guide | Shamanic Artist | Speaker Hi, my name is Kate and I am a shamanic oracle, which I know sounds really fancy and intimidating but what I do is combine traditional shamanism with my intuitive skills to provide all my clients an opportunity to deeply heal, transform suffering from the root, and support that change being long-lasting. No quick fixes here, but rapid deep everlasting transformation? Yes. Shamanism, if you do not know, is the application of ancient healing practices, pre-colonization and pro-connection to nature. I came into Shamanism through my own spiritual journey having seizures during my preteen years, and have completed a variety of modality training and certifications that have allowed me to feel confident claiming that title. The folk who come to me for assistance tend to be business owners and high performers who feel overwhelmed, disconnected and spiritually curious. Through my work I help them develop their own mental, physical rest and spiritual development practices and rituals to help them manage their emotions, increase their creativity, enhance productivity and relieve stress.

If we held up a laugh-meter (like the one from Monsters, Inc) what would our laugh levels be? and Why do we just feel drawn to certain places? and Do our ancestors matter? and Is it possible to befriend crows while being a nomad? These are the types of questions (serious and silly) you'll hear around today's fire where I'm joined by the ever-optimistic, comedy-loving Kate Graham -  a shamanic oracle and creator of the Empath Energetics intuition development and archetypal healing program. With training in hypnotherapy, yin and restorative yoga, thai yoga massage, aromatherapy, reflexology and shamanism, Kate uses her experiences to teach people how to trust their own bodies and hearts. She has also worked on an alpaca farm, lived nomadically in a van, and moved to manage a retreat in the Scottish Highlands, all in the name of intuition. So for those of you familiar with my story (goatherd turned organic farmer turned yoga teacher turned shamanic practitioner turned nomad… etc) you can imagine that we have a lot of shared conversation topics… and they will wander through territory deep, wise, irreverent, visionary, and most likely sort of meaningless, too. Topics like: tuning into the energy of lands and locations; how we might be selling our long-ago ancestors short; the beauty of it taking all kinds; why did we put structures which hold us in place into place?; moving from hopelessness to optimism; what remembering ancestral ways of meaning-making, healing, celebrating, and integrating have meant for us personally; the balance of light and dark; the role of tricksters, crows, and comedians in society; the difference between healers who put things back together and healers who walk the edges with you; why healing work can feel so hard and exhausting sometimes and some shifts in approach which might make it easier; how love and abolition are teaching us right now… and more. This is a longer conversation because we just kept riffing off each other. But watching it back as I was preparing these notes, I kept finding myself laughing and wondering about things all over again.  Join us around the fire? You're most welcome here. May we each find the gift of our part in things and the places, people, and rituals to nurture those sparks. May we laugh more than we think we should and be free to flow where our medicine is most useful and our hearts feel most alive. May we have the courage and trust to come undone and rediscover something of even greater beauty. May we love our boundaries and therefore be able to love everyone. May we befriend the crows. You can find Kate G: Heartsfrontier.com YouTube @heartsfrontier Instagram @shamanicoraclekate And if you've come for Kate G, I hope you'll stick around for more conversations to access, repair, inspire, and evolve our humanity and serve the wild, tender aliveness of our personal and collective hearts.

Kate Graham takes center stage at Cambridge University giving a soul-stirring talk about the importance of receptive brain states and their power to reduce conflict, empower empaths, and improve overall community well-being. Kate draws from her profound experiences as a Shamanic Oracle and Deep Transformation Guide, guiding us towards a deeper understanding of the power of receptivity. Her message is a call to action, urging us to spend more time in these receptive states for personal growth and contributing to a more harmonious world. Kate emphasizes the transformative potential of receptive brain states, passionately illustrating how these states can help individuals reduce conflict, empower empaths, and pave the way for a more harmonious world. Drawing upon ancient wisdom and personal anecdotes, Kate encourages us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Kate Graham joined us as our special guest co-host on this episode of our NOW Digital Meetup. Kate has an incredible track record providing clear voice and a healthy perspective on the trends, challenges, and innovations relevant to people, work, and technology.  We loved following her work at Fosway Group and UNLEASH. Now it's time to check in on Kate's recent move back to the vendor side (what a win for Cornerstone OnDemand!). She had some really fantastic advice for both HR Tech vendors AND consumers. It has to do with transparency, being realistic, and better storytelling. Kate and I can't wait to bring this fresh conversation to the community.  BTW, where's Jess Von Bank? She checked in from the course during our Meetup to share their progress! If you've been following us for a while, you know Jess loves to race. During this epsidoe, Jess began a 200-mile Ragnar Relay from the Canadian border (Blaine, WA), running along the glacial Cascade and Olympic Mountain ranges, Deception Pass, and Puget Sound before she crossed the finish line with her team on Whidbey Island, sometime in the afternoon. Go, Jess!

One of the best things about 2022 is that face-to-face events are back. It's been a pleasure to connect with people in person again for the first time in a long time, and great to see such enthusiasm for face-to-face conferences and events after everything that has been happening in the last few years. Last week I was at UNLEASH World in Paris, and as well as hosting some fantastic speakers on the Talent and Recruiting stage, I did a lot of podcast recording. Thank you to Kate Graham, Marc Coleman and Jon Kennard at UNLEASH for organising a dedicated podcasting booth, which Recruiting Future shared with The Chad & Cheese Show and the Tech Talks podcast. I recorded long-form interviews with three speakers; Lisa Scales from Nestle, Charu Malhotra from PA Consulting and Samantha Ramsay from Ernst & Young. I'll be publishing these over the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime, I wanted to give you a taste of the event, so here are four short interviews to provide a flavour of the topics that are top of mind in the industry at the moment. First up, you'll hear me sharing my thoughts on the event in a recording made for The Chad and Cheese Show. Next is a conversation with my co-author and collaborator, Mervyn Dinnen, followed by fellow podcaster David Savage from Tech Talks. Finally, as a bit of a bonus, I've got a quick-fire discussion with Bas van de Hatred about the recently published 2022 edition of his annual research into the state of corporate careers sites.

There's nothing like coming home after a long trip. It makes us appreciate wherever home is, but also opens up our eyes to some of the ways it could be, well, better. This week on No Second Chances, host Kate Graham lands back in Canada for the last episode of the season. She talks with Dr. Susan Franceschet, a professor of political science at the University of Calgary, and the incredible Marci Ien, Canada's Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, to take an honest look at what it's going to take for us to build a fairer, and more equitable Canada. Here's a hint: each of us has more power than we think we do.

Looking for dogs that work independently, highly motivated, and handler resilient in terms of performance Then see if the health related issues can be bred with a complimentary pedigree Behavioral issues are not worth the risk Sometimes this won't be successful, but other times it will be Links Mentioned in the Episode: Where to find Kate Graham: Website | Instagram | Facebook You can support the K9 Conservationists Podcast by joining our Patreon at patreon.com/k9conservationists.

To discuss, we welcome Michael Balagus the NDP's chief of staff and campaign director; Kate Graham, co-chair of the Liberals' platform committee and candidate in London North-Centre; and deputy leader Abhijeet Manay, co-chair of the Green Party's platform committee and Beaches-East York candidate.

John talks to Sharon Claffey Kaliouby, VP, North America for Learning Pool, an award-winning professional and co-founder of the #women in learning group with Kate Graham. Sharon has held several high profile executive roles in Learning & Development with the likes of Thomson Reuters and Enterprise Ireland. Prior to Learning Pool, she was a Learning Fellow & Advisor for Elliott Masie Productions and previously Head of Global Learning & Development for State Street Global Advisors in Boston, Massachusetts.   She is also a keen sportsperson – surfing, golf, fencing and basketball are among the sports that get a mention.   But the conversation is mainly about the challenges facing women in their career progression in learning, a profession whose workforce, ironically, is predominantly female at entry level.
