At the inaugural ACCC Leadership Summit, C-suite executives and senior-level decision makers in oncology convened for strategic dialogue, panel discussions, and peer-to-peer exchange focused on the most pressing issues in cancer care today. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Misha Kaur, chief operating officer at Cureety, about her key takeaways as a member of the panel: Value-Based Care in Oncology: From Pilots to Scale. Kaur discusses the importance of keeping quality and affordability at the heart of value-based care, and how Cureety's remote monitoring solution effectively captures nuanced patient insights in precision oncology care. "[Value-based care] was never meant to be a contract. The original spirit was [about] aligning incentives [and creating] better outcomes for patients. But in practice, over time...it can sometimes become just a contracting discussion [about] targets, benchmarking, reporting, utilization, [and] cost reduction." – Misha Kaur Guest: Misha Kaur Chief Operating Officer Cureety Resources: 2026 ACCC Leadership Summit Innovation, Policy, and Partnership: Key Takeaways From the Inaugural ACCC Leadership Summit From Hospital to Home: A Solution for Proactive Symptom Monitoring and Precise Care Staying Connected Between Visits: A Sustainable Model for Remote Monitoring  

En octobre 2024, Gursimran Kaur, 19 ans, est retrouvée morte dans le four industriel de la boulangerie du Walmart où elle travaille à Halifax, en Nouvelle‑Écosse, après avoir disparu pendant son quart de nuit, ce qui conduit sa mère, collègue de travail ce soir‑là, à découvrir son corps brûlé à l'intérieur du four. Les autorités concluent à l'absence de geste criminel et l'enquête de sécurité au travail confirme que le four fonctionnait normalement, sans défaillance technique, laissant planer le doute entre acte volontaire, accident ou scénario encore inexpliqué. Sa famille, qui a immigré d'Inde pour lui offrir un meilleur futur, refuse l'hypothèse du suicide et se bat publiquement pour obtenir des réponses sur la façon dont elle a pu se retrouver enfermée là et pourquoi aucun système de sécurité ne l'a sauvée, faisant de ce cas un mystère tragique qui hante autant les proches que l'opinion.Voyez le film Undertone de A24, dans une salle québécoise dès le 13 mars 2026!nordvpn.com/distorsion : Rabais exclusif sur ton abonnement + plus 4 mois gratuits!ÉrosEt Compagnie : 15% de rabais avec le code DistorsionPatreon | Site Web | Boutique Hébergé par Acast.

In Tension: Mental Distress and Embodied Inequality in the Western Himalayas (Duke UP, 2026), Dr. Nikita Kaur Simpson examines the effects of rapid development in the Himalayas on the minds and bodies of the Gaddi people who inhabit them through attention to the multifaceted state of distress they call “tension.” This “tension” takes many forms: Kamzori, or weakness, in the bodies of elderly women; “Future tension” accumulating in the minds of young girls; or Opara, or black magic, afflicting whole families. Through her long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Dr. Simpson follows the ways in which Gaddi people tie this distress to broader structural changes, such as land dispossession and caste, class, tribal and gender inequality, which are growing alongside modernity and prosperity. In doing so, she shows how “tension” acts as an everyday diagnostic of the problems of cultural, economic and environmental change as they shape intimate life. At once a lived historical account, a cartography of care relations, and a multi-sensory exploration of the intimate experiences of atmosphere and body, Tension puts forth a novel theory of distress, that inequality is often determined by who is made to feel, hold, and absorb distress. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In Tension: Mental Distress and Embodied Inequality in the Western Himalayas (Duke UP, 2026), Dr. Nikita Kaur Simpson examines the effects of rapid development in the Himalayas on the minds and bodies of the Gaddi people who inhabit them through attention to the multifaceted state of distress they call “tension.” This “tension” takes many forms: Kamzori, or weakness, in the bodies of elderly women; “Future tension” accumulating in the minds of young girls; or Opara, or black magic, afflicting whole families. Through her long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Dr. Simpson follows the ways in which Gaddi people tie this distress to broader structural changes, such as land dispossession and caste, class, tribal and gender inequality, which are growing alongside modernity and prosperity. In doing so, she shows how “tension” acts as an everyday diagnostic of the problems of cultural, economic and environmental change as they shape intimate life. At once a lived historical account, a cartography of care relations, and a multi-sensory exploration of the intimate experiences of atmosphere and body, Tension puts forth a novel theory of distress, that inequality is often determined by who is made to feel, hold, and absorb distress. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this powerful episode, Jagbir Kaur Kang joins our host Nandini Ray to share a story of extraordinary strength and resilience. Facing domestic violence, uncertainty of the future, and self-doubt, she refused to give up and transformed her pain into a journey of growth and renewal.From surviving to thriving, Jagbir now uses her voice to uplift others. In her book Blooming Through the Cracks, she courageously revisits her trauma to offer hope to those suffering in silence.A moving reminder: domestic violence is never the victim's fault—everyone deserves safety, dignity, and the chance to heal. About Jagbir Kaur Kang: Jagbir Kaur Kang is a survivor–proof that perseverance and persistence may lead to a path of healing and growth. She is an author of the #1 New Release bestseller “Blooming Through the Cracks” on Amazon and holds a master's degree in psychology from Harvard University Extension Studies. She is an international speaker, a yoga and meditation teacher, and regularly delivers webinars on mental health and domestic violence. She is the founder of @ihealandgrow and has embarked on a quest to help other survivors shine through their adversities.

In this episode of Nonviolence Radio, we speak with civil rights leader and Revolutionary Love Project founder Valarie Kaur about love as a force for transformation in our lives and movements. Kaur describes revolutionary love as “the choice to see no stranger… to risk ourselves for each other,” and shares stories from communities across the country where people are practicing courage, care, and solidarity in the face of violence and fear. These acts—whether on the front lines or in everyday life—offer glimpses of a world grounded in belonging and deep connection.At the heart of the conversation is Kaur's powerful framing of social change as a kind of labor. Drawing on the wisdom of the midwife, she invites us into a rhythm of “breathe and push,” tending both to our inner lives and to the work of justice in the world. “This is long labor, courageous labor,” she says, encouraging us to find ways to sustain ourselves while acting with purpose. The episode explores how choosing to see the humanity of others—even those who oppose us—can be a radical act of freedom, and how cultivating that inner strength allows us to remain present, brave, and connected in the midst of uncertainty.

Send a textIn this episode of Marketing Espresso, I'm joined once again by the brilliant Simran Kaur, and we dive straight into one of the biggest misconceptions in the business world: the idea that leads alone will fix everything. It's the belief so many business owners cling to — that more leads mean more revenue, more stability and more growth. But as Sim and I unpack, that thinking completely overlooks how marketing actually works.Sim talks about leads from a full-funnel perspective, and why so many people obsess over the bottom of the funnel while ignoring the work that needs to happen long before someone is ready to buy. If you're only focused on the moment a person enquires, you're missing the bigger picture entirely. Awareness, consideration, education and brand memory are the building blocks that lead to strong conversions, and yet those pieces are often skipped because they take time and don't deliver instant gratification.We also explore the impatience that so many business owners are feeling. Social media has created a culture where people expect immediate ROI, instant sales and fast results — but marketing isn't designed to move at that pace. And when you're changing your message every week, pivoting constantly or rewriting your offer every time you feel bored, you're not speeding things up. You're restarting the clock. Every shift resets your momentum, and the market barely has a chance to understand what you do before you've already changed direction.Sim and I share real-life examples of why brand building and consistent storytelling make such a significant difference to long-term growth. People buy emotionally, even when they think they don't. A smell, a memory, a jingle, a feeling — these are the tiny cues that sit in our subconscious and influence what we pick up off a shelf or who we choose to trust online. AI can support our work, but it will never replace emotional nuance. It can't read body language, interpret subtle meaning or understand why certain phrases make people sit up straighter in their chair. And that's why strategy always needs humans behind it.This conversation is really a reminder that marketing is a long game. It's strategic. It's layered. It's about earning trust over time rather than hunting for a quick win. When you build a strong brand, the right leads show up — and not just in volume, but in quality. Those are the leads that convert with ease because the groundwork has already been done.DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

What if humanity's future was written 500 years ago?Dr. Amarjit Kaur Doowa didn't set out to challenge the modern world—she was searching ancient scripture for clarity in a time of division, conflict, and spiritual confusion. Why does humanity repeat cycles of fear and separation? Why do sacred teachings become distorted over time? And what if the answers we need have been waiting in plain sight for centuries?In this conversation, Dr. Doowa draws from a 500-year-old sacred text to reveal a message of unity, consciousness, and collective awakening that feels startlingly relevant today. As humanity moves through a profound shift in awareness, this discussion reframes ancient wisdom not as outdated doctrine—but as a living blueprint for healing the world from within.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

Prabhleen Kaur: The Art of Coaching Product Owners on What vs. How Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Master of Stakeholder Relationships and the Power of No "The best PO is the person who has the superpower of saying no, and they can deal with the stakeholders with the same prowess." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen describes working with a Product Owner who managed multiple stakeholders—not just a handful, but a significant number with competing priorities. What made him exceptional was his deep understanding of each stakeholder's pulse and motivations. He knew when to push back and how to frame the "no" in a way that stakeholders could accept. This wasn't random resistance—it came from thorough preparation manifested in clear roadmaps that made most incoming work predictable for the team.  His user stories stood out for their richness in context: beyond the business requirements, they included information about who would be impacted, which proved invaluable for a team dealing with multiple interconnected systems.  He leveraged JIRA's priority field effectively, ensuring the moment anyone opened the board, they could immediately understand what mattered most. Prabhleen emphasizes that this PO understood his role as the "what" while respecting the team as the "how." By maintaining strong stakeholder relationships built on mutual understanding, he created space for the team to prepare, plan, and deliver without constant firefighting.   Self-reflection Question: Does your Product Owner have the preparation and stakeholder relationships needed to confidently say "no" when priorities compete, or does every request become an emergency? The Bad Product Owner: Technical Experts Who Manage the Sprint Backlog "The PO is the what, and the team is the how. When POs start directing the team about how to do things, the sprint goal gets compromised." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen addresses a common anti-pattern she's observed repeatedly: Product Owners with technical backgrounds who cross the line from "what" into "how." When POs come from developer or technical roles, their expertise can become a liability if they start prescribing solutions rather than defining problems.  They direct the team on implementation approaches, suggest specific technical solutions in user stories, and effectively manage the sprint backlog instead of focusing on the product backlog. The consequences are predictable: stories keep getting added or removed mid-sprint, the sprint goal becomes meaningless, and the team ends up delivering nothing because focus is constantly shifting.  Prabhleen's solution starts in backlog refinement, where she ensures conversations about technical approaches happen openly with the whole team during estimation. When a PO suggests a specific implementation, she facilitates discussion about alternatives, allowing the team to voice their perspective.  The key insight: everyone comes from a good place—the PO suggests solutions because they believe they're helping. The Scrum Master's role is to create space for the team to own the "how" while helping the PO see the value in stepping back.   Self-reflection Question: When your Product Owner has technical expertise, how do you help them contribute their knowledge without directing the team's implementation choices?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: When Team Members Raise Concerns with Clarity, Not Anger Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "My idea of success as a Scrum Master is when you look around, you see motivated people, and when something goes wrong, they come to you not in anger, but with concern." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen offers a refreshing perspective on measuring success as a Scrum Master that goes beyond velocity charts and feature counts. She shares a pivotal moment when her team was in production, delivering relentlessly with barely any time to breathe. A team member approached her—not with frustration or blame—but with thoughtful concern: "This is not going to work out." He sat down with Prabhleen and the Product Owner, explaining that as the middle layer in an API creation team, delays from upstream were creating a cascading problem.  What struck Prabhleen wasn't just the identification of the issue, but how he approached it: with options to discuss, not demands to make. This moment crystallized her definition of success. When team members feel safe enough to voice concerns early, when they come with ideas rather than accusations, when they see themselves as part of the solution rather than victims of circumstances—that's when a Scrum Master has truly succeeded.  Prabhleen reminds us that while stakeholders may focus on features delivered, Scrum Masters should watch how well the team responds to change. That adaptability, rooted in psychological safety and mutual trust, is the true measure of a team's maturity.   Self-reflection Question: When problems emerge in your team, do people approach you with defensive anger or constructive concern? What does that tell you about the psychological safety you've helped create? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Keep-Stop-Happy-Gratitude Prabhleen shares her favorite retrospective format, born from necessity when she joined an established team with dismal participation in their standard three-column retrospectives. She transformed it into a four-column approach: (1) What should we keep doing, (2) What should we stop doing, (3) One thing that will make you happy, and (4) Gratitude for the team. The third column—asking what would make team members happy—opened unexpected doors. Suggestions ranged from team outings to skipping Friday stand-ups, giving Prabhleen real-time insights into team needs without waiting for formal working agreement sessions. The gratitude column proved even more powerful. "Appreciation brings a space where trust is automatically built. When every 15 days you're sitting with the team making a point to say thank you to each other for all the work you've done, everybody feels mutually respected," Prabhleen explains. This ties directly to the trust-building discussed in Tuesday's episode—using retrospectives not just to improve processes, but to strengthen the human connections that make teams resilient.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: How AI Is Changing the Way Agile Teams Deliver Value Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "AI's output is not the final output—it's always the two eyes we have that will get us the best results." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen brings a timely challenge to the coaching conversation: the impact of AI on teams and how Scrum Masters should navigate this transformation. She frames it as both a challenge and an opportunity—teams are now capable of delivering faster than consumers can absorb, fundamentally changing expectations and dynamics.  Prabhleen has observed her teams evolve from uncertainty about AI to confidently leveraging it for practical benefits. Developers use AI for writing and understanding code, particularly helpful for onboarding new team members who need to comprehend existing codebases quickly. QA professionals find AI invaluable for generating test cases based on story and epic context already captured in JIRA.  The next frontier? Agentic AI, where AI systems communicate with each other to produce better outputs. But Prabhleen offers an important caution: AI is learning from many conversations, not all of which are reliable. The human element—critical thinking and verification—remains essential.  For Scrum Masters, this means facilitating conversations about how teams want to experiment with AI, exploring edge cases in testing that AI can help identify, and helping teams navigate the evolving landscape of possibilities while maintaining quality and judgment.   Self-reflection Question: How are you helping your team explore AI as a tool for improvement while ensuring they maintain critical thinking about the outputs AI produces?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: When Lack of Trust Turns Teams Into Isolated Individuals Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Teams self-destruct despite best efforts when they lack trust." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen observed a troubling pattern while shadowing a team: stand-ups had become a register activity where people reported individual status without any connection to the sprint goal. There was no "we" in the conversation—only "I."  The team had experienced a missed deadline due to a PR conflict that wasn't merged in time, but instead of addressing it openly, everyone focused on fixing the immediate problem while avoiding the deeper conversation. The discomfort was never voiced, and resentment accumulated silently.  Prabhleen explains that team destruction is never about one action—it's about the accumulation of unspoken concerns that eventually explode at the worst possible moment. To rebuild trust, she recommends starting with peer reviews that encourage natural collaboration and conversation.  Scrum Masters must be vocal about challenges in front of the entire team, modeling the openness they want to see. For teams that have completely withdrawn, anonymous feedback and scheduled one-on-ones can create safe spaces for honest communication. The key insight? Trust is rebuilt when people realize they will be heard and understood, not judged.   In this segment, we talk about how trust is the foundation of effective teams and how its absence leads to working in silos.   Self-reflection Question: When your team experiences a failure or missed deadline, do you create space for open conversation about what happened, or does everyone quietly move on while resentment builds? Featured Book of the Week: Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff Sutherland Prabhleen recommends Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff Sutherland as a foundational read for understanding the spirit behind the framework. "When I actually read the book and understood the nuances of rugby and how the team should be, everything started making sense. I grew beyond the Scrum guide, beyond following rules—it's about how the team operates around you as a collective," she explains. Prabhleen also highly recommends Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet, summarizing its core message as "leaders lead leaders." Both books shaped her understanding that frameworks exist to enable collaboration, not to create compliance. Check out the David Marquet episodes on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast for more insights on intent-based leadership.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: Letting Teams Own Their Process Through Working Agreements Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "It's about coaching the team, not teaching them." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen shares a powerful lesson about the dangers of being too directive with a forming team. When she joined a new team, her enthusiasm and experience led her to immediately introduce best practices, believing she was setting the team up for success. Instead, the team felt burdened by rules they didn't understand the purpose of. The process became about following instructions rather than solving problems together.  It wasn't until her one-on-one conversations with team members that Prabhleen realized the disconnect. She discovered that the team viewed the practices as mandates rather than tools for their benefit. The turning point came when she brought this observation to the retrospective, and together they unlearned what had been imposed.  Now, when Prabhleen joins a new team, she takes a different approach. She first seeks to understand how the team has been functioning, then presents situations as problems to be solved collectively. By asking "How do you want to take this up?" instead of prescribing solutions, she invites team ownership. This shift from teaching to coaching means the team creates their own working agreements, their own definitions of ready and done, and their own communication norms. When people voice solutions themselves, they follow through because they own the outcome.   In this episode, we refer to working agreements and their importance in team formation.   Self-reflection Question: When you join a new team, do you first seek to understand their current ways of working, or do you immediately start suggesting improvements based on your past experience?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

What does it actually mean to heal — and can we heal completely?In this episode of The Art of Authenticity, Laura sits down with Sat Dharam Kaur to explore trauma, identity, and the deeper mechanics of healing. Drawing from her personal history, naturopathic medicine, Kundalini Yoga, and Compassionate Inquiry, she offers a clear and grounded perspective on why suffering persists — and how it can unwind. This conversation looks directly at identification, the mind's role in pain, and what happens when awareness replaces narrative. Together, they examine purpose, healing without self-fixation, and why transformation doesn't require perfection — only presence.

Hun Mai Surkharu Aan! - Pavitar Kaur Maati | Welcome to Dr. Ruminder! Listen to the powerful Punjabi short story, 'Hun Main Surakhroo Aan!', written by the acclaimed author Pavitar Kaur Maati. This story beautifully captures the complex and often painful transition that occurs within a traditional joint family structure when a new member arrives—the newly married wife.The narrative focuses on a married couple whose relationship undergoes a significant change. As the couple alters their focus and attention toward each other, the rest of the family—the parents, in-laws, and siblings—begin to feel the emotional shift and the loosening of their former bonds. The title, 'Hun Main Surakhroo Aan!', poses a deep question: Is the feeling of being 'free from duty' a relief for the children, or does it become a quiet burden for the parents? This story is a poignant look at changing relationships, modern marital priorities, and the subtle breakdown of the joint family system in contemporary Punjabi society.The cover art of this audiobook has been made by Artist Gurdish Pannu and Dr. Ruminder has given voice to this Punjabi short story.#newpunjabistory #newpunjabistoryaudio #punjabikahani #listenpunjabikahani #punjabistorynew #punjabshortstories #punjabishortkahani #punjabikahaniyan #punjabimoral stories #NewPunjabiaudiobooks #newpunjabikahani #interestingpunjabistories #punjabiaudiobooks #famouspunjabi stories #punjabikahani #punjabishortkahani #verygoodpunjabikahani # punjabiaudiokahani #punjabistoriesnew #navipunjabikahani #punjabinewstory #audiostorypunjabi #moralstoriespunjabi

In a world that's unraveling from climate disruption and gaping inequality, another climate crisis confronts us: the climate of hate and othering. Award-winning scholar and educator Valarie Kaur says to overcome racism and nationalism, we must not succumb to rage and grief. As someone who has spent much of her life challenging horrific injustices and intolerance, Kaur learned the lesson that historical nonviolent change-makers understood: social movements must be grounded in an ethic of love. She founded the Revolutionary Love Project, and has emerged as one of the most important voices of the American Sikh community, and a highly influential faith leader on the national stage. Featuring Valarie Kaur, born into a family of Sikh farmers who settled in California in 1913, is a seasoned civil rights activist, award-winning filmmaker, lawyer, faith leader, and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project, which seeks to champion love as a public ethic and wellspring for social action.
