Podcasts about language services

Today I'm sharing an interview I did with Amy Baugh, a member of Language Therapy Advance Foundations. Amy Baugh is an experienced SLP, a life-long learner and truly enjoys listening to podcasts, joining SLP groups on social media and collaborating with her besties about all things' speech, language and being a business owner. She is the proud mother of two college aged daughters and enjoys learning and practicing functional health, working out, reading, and cooking. She is the owner of Elation Speech and Language Services. Link here: https://www.elationspeech.com/When Amy took a position at a high school with a large caseload, she knew she needed a solid strategy for keeping intervention intensive, but also ensuring teachers and paraprofessionals had the information they needed to support students in class, which is what inspired her to join Language Therapy Advance Foundations. When many clinicians come to me for support, they're often focused on the “micro”, such as planning sessions. That's why one of the first things I give clinicians I support is a framework clinicians can use for language therapy in direct intervention. However, once clinicians have their heads above water and they have the mental bandwidth to focus on the “macro”, they realize what else is possible when it comes to the impact they can make, as well as career opportunities.In Amy's case, it meant being able to focus on training teachers and paraprofessionals to implement language intervention in the classroom, as well as having an intervention framework to use when she started a private practice. In this conversation, we discuss:✅The power of consultation and coaching when you have a large caseload.✅The “house” strategy for initiating collaborations with teachers and adjacent disciplines.✅Why focusing on your “systems”, like your schedule, habits, and frameworks can help you get buy-in from teachers and administration. ✅The importance of syntax, vocabulary, and word study at the secondary level. You can connect with Amy at the Elation Speech and Language website here: https://www.elationspeech.com/You can also connect with her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-baugh-m-a-ccc-slp-20bb974b/Amy is a member of Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives SLPs and other service providers create a system for language therapy.

Have you ever dreamed of starting a private practice that brought in six figures? When many people think of starting their own private practice, they think of it as a side income, but it doesn't have to be. You can grow it as much or as little as you want. In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with one of my Start Your Private Practice students, Samantha Asher, to talk about how she grew her private practice to six figures while only working 3 days a week. She is able to support her family financially with her private practice and also be there for her kids every day. Samantha Asher, MA, CCC-SLP is a speech-language pathologist and the CEO of Green Light Speech and Language Services, LLC.

She has two young children and a large rescue pup.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:The tremendous need for private practicesWhy it's completely normal to be nervousThe benefits of having a community of people on the same journeyHow Samantha managed her private practice while moving to a new stateHow to know it's time to take your private practice full-timeWhy it's okay to ask for reviewsHiring team membersSamantha's plans for her private practice moving forwardWe all want the time to spend with our families while still providing for them. Starting your private practice is the first step to creating the life you want. It is totally possible to make a full-time income while only working part-time hours, and Samantha is proof of that. She was able to build a six-figure private practice while only working three days a week and taking her daughter to ballet class. The possibilities really are endless.

ICON plc's Senior Vice President of Commercialisations & Outcomes, Brian Mallon, joins SlatorPod to shed light on the crucial role of language services within clinical research organizations (CROs). Brian recounts ICON's growth journey, from a team of five in Dublin back in 1990 to its present-day workforce of over 41,000 across 50 countries. Brian outlines the clinical cycle for drugs or medical treatments, which consists of several phases aimed at evaluating safety, efficacy, dosage, and potential side effects before making them available to the public.Brian reveals how language services play a vital role in improving clinical trials by enhancing the quality of data, reaching a more diverse patient population, and increasing retention and access to trials. He shares how medical translation and linguistic validation in clinical research require expertise in medical terminology and cultural nuances of the target language.Brian talks about how ICON led an industry-wide shift towards insourcing language services instead of relying on external language service providers. Key motivators include cost savings, increased efficiency, faster turnaround times, and the importance of data security and confidentiality.Brian explains how the cost of failure in translations is high, as errors can impact patient safety, regulatory compliance, and the overall success of the research. To manage these risks, ICON's Language Services team implements stringent quality assurance processes, audits, and ongoing training.When it comes to the EU Clinical Trial Regulation and Clinical Trial Information System, Brian believes it has not had a major impact on language services in terms of volumes. However, the expectation is that over time, these regulations will improve the efficiency of conducting trials in Europe and make the EU more attractive for large-scale clinical trials.The pod rounds off with Brian's view on the role of AI in the life sciences market and ICON's  "string of pearls" approach when it comes to broadening its capability in line with industry trends in the life sciences sector.

Have you ever dreamed of starting a private practice that brought in six figures? When many people think of starting their own private practice, they think of it as a side income, but it doesn't have to be. You can grow it as much or as little as you want. In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with one of my Start Your Private Practice students, Samantha Asher, to talk about how she grew her private practice to six figures while only working 3 days a week. She is able to support her family financially with her private practice and also be there for her kids every day. Samantha Asher, MA, CCC-SLP is a speech-language pathologist and the CEO of Green Light Speech and Language Services, LLC. Green Light specializes in providing effective feeding, language, and speech therapy that children genuinely enjoy. Samantha built Green Light on the principles of responsive feeding and parent-child-therapist collaboration. Samantha also develops and shares content about responsive feeding and therapy strategies through her Instagram page @greenlightspeechtherapy. Outside of the speech world, Samantha is a loving, happy wife and mother. She has two young children and a large rescue pup. In Today's Episode, We Discuss: The tremendous need for private practices Why it's completely normal to be nervous The benefits of having a community of people on the same journey How Samantha managed her private practice while moving to a new state How to know it's time to take your private practice full-time Why it's okay to ask for reviews Hiring team members Samantha's plans for her private practice moving forward We all want the time to spend with our families while still providing for them. Starting your private practice is the first step to creating the life you want. It is totally possible to make a full-time income while only working part-time hours, and Samantha is proof of that. She was able to build a six-figure private practice while only working three days a week and taking her daughter to ballet class. The possibilities really are endless. If you are inspired by Samantha's story, the programs she did were the Start Your Private Practice program and the Grow Your Private Practice program.

Today, Derek Harp, the host of (CS)²AI Podcast, shares an episode of the Author Spotlight that features practitioners and contributors who do great work and write books about new modalities, new systems of organization, and new thought processes.  In this episode, Andy Bochman and Sarah Freeman, authors of Countering Cyber Sabotage- Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering, join Derek to talk about their book.  Sarah has been an Industrial Control Systems Cyber Security Analyst at The Idaho National Laboratory (The Lab) for the past eight years. She did not get there through the traditional computer or cyber security background, however. Sarah studied Intelligence and Security Studies, focusing on terrorism in Graduate School, and came into cyber security through Language Services by assisting with certain investigations and operations on the language side. That eventually transitioned into industrial control systems when she joined The Lab.  Sarah has a unique understanding of different kinds of threat actors from some of the work she has done in the past. The Lab focuses on bringing in people with different backgrounds, like cyber security researchers, malware reverse engineers, and engineers. That is invaluable when talking about attacks specifically leveled against industrial control systems because some things translate well between traditional IT attacks while others are completely different. Bringing in different groups helps with much of their work.  One of the first companies Andy ever worked for was an applications security company that eventually got bought by IBM. He was also involved in some startups and some consulting. At IBM, Andy matched his cyber security day job with his night job, moonlighting as a blogger on the DOD Energy Blog and the Smart Grid Security Blog. While at IBM, he asked if he could cover energy from a cyber point of view, and they agreed. From that point, it became clear that he would eventually end up at the Idaho National Laboratory, where he has been for the last seven years.  Show highlights: Sarah is valuable to the community because of her knowledge of the spoken and written languages used in certain parts of the world. (4:28)  The genesis of their book and the philosophy behind it. (7:51) From about 2003-2004, Idaho National Laboratory has focused on electric grid security. (16:16) Whatever first hits the people on the street and then ripples up to the people on The Hill brings about a new level of awareness. (19:37) Critical infrastructure is sure to be targeted, and once something has been targeted it will be compromised. (20:40) Putting security into the design stage is a different approach that is now evolving out of The Lab. (24:23) Many opportunities exist for adversaries to get in and turn things to their advantage after a new software product has been deployed and begins to interact with other networks. (29:49) What initially prompted Andy to write the book before Sarah came on board. (30:35) How Andy came up with the title of the book. (36:43) When espionage turns into sabotage. (39:04) How you can use the book. (40:25) A partner program and another version of the book, known as “Bootcamp” or “Partner Training” are also available. (41:13) People are tired of the status quo and would be willing to explore a new way. (44:43) Mentioned in this episode: Join CS2AI Join the largest organization for cybersecurity professionals.

It's not uncommon to see regression after process changes have been implemented. It is important to understand why this is occurring and mitigate those issues. Catalysis Healthcare Value Network member organization, Children's Mercy Kansas City has shared their improvement work in many ways, including at the Lean Healthcare Transformation Summit and Network Sharing Sessions. This episode features Shelly Hammer, PI Consultant, and Rio Zammeron, Manager of Language Services to dive deeper into how they got new processes back on track after they noticed them regressing.

In today's episode we are sharing one of our sessions from Global Ready Conference. This session is called ‘The 411 – What We Need from a Language Services Provider'. Gavin Grimes moderates the panel which also features Nancy Ferreira da Rocha, Senior Localization Program Manager at FedEx and Emil Atanesov, Vice President of Internationalization for ServiceNow.In this panel, Gavin and our guests discuss the evolution of language programs to align themselves with different growth stages from their respective companies, whether it's organic or acquisition-based growth. Often, we discuss the origins of programs and where they end up but ignore the journey. To evolve and grow, you have to take into account your markets and know what data points to focus on. There is also a delicate balance to maintain company needs and budgetary allowances. Nancy and Emil discuss how programs at their respective companies have evolved since they began their own journey, and how they strategized and implemented changes.[02:39] How the localization program at FedEx has evolved since Nancy started her career there.[04:30] The evolution of localization at Service Now since Emile began working there.[07:04] Developing and strategizing evolution at FedEx.[10:16] How strategies and change were created at ServiceNow.[13:56] How did the LSP needs at FedEx change with their program evolution?[18:17] The evolving LSP needs at ServiceNow.[22:07] The 3 main things Nancy has learned implementing changes at FedEx.[24:46] The 3 main things Emile has learned implementing changes at ServiceNow.[27:39] What is the 1 thing Nancy would have done differently in the process?[29:44] What is the 1 thing Emil would have done differently in the process?Resources and links: Watch Global Ready Conference on demand Meet Nancy Get to know Emil
