Episode Notes: -Teacher, H.S. Administrator, worked for the State Department in Kentucky, and a middle and high school expert, and worked nationally with schools on instructional improvement and instructional leadership. -Coaching Redefined Book- instructional leaders can have a guide book of how to set it up effectively and all of the components that go into it: growing yourself to growing your school and thinking of the culture of the school. It came from a desire to make it work and from real experience in a coaching and admin role. -Intentional Instructional Moves Book- it sets up what classroom instruction should look like based on research and the intentional steps to get there. The audience is to teachers because they are the ones who will make these shifts. It is also powerful for admins or coaches, but it starts with the teacher shifts. -Actions speak louder than words, teachers see what we are doing as coaches. We need to be humble in our position, and know we are all learners. We are not the people who know it all. Coaches can show that they are still learning too. -Ask reflective questions. Have a listening tour prior to meeting with a teacher. Constantly ask questions, ask for feedback, and all the nuances in between. See the best in people as coaches. -We need to believe in the teachers' ability to grow constantly!  -Listening Tour - when schools try it, they think it is the best thing. It shapes the coaching within our school. A respectful approach to how we lead. It can change your trajectory in how teachers in your school see coaching.  -Get clarity around your role as a coach. See the website for questions to ask and the admin when entering that role. They understand the parameters and protocols within that role. -Recognize the positive part of the instructional methods. There is a lot of research as to how individuals are recognized for their positive work,  engaged deeper in the work, and is connected to retention. All is important for us in education right now. We need to recognize the positive things teachers do.  -Provide timely, honest, and consistent feedback. -Honest conversations can go a long way. Critical conversations grounded in the third point of data can also be powerful. -When we look back, we can remember which teachers believed in us, respected us, and loved us - and we know the ones who didn't. And for those who did, we would do anything in the world they asked us to improve.  -We need to have collaborative goals set with our teachers.  Research shows  that goals can bump our productivity from 11 to 25 percent. Think about that per classroom. A clear goal set with that teacher could make a huge impact. That has to be a collaborative goal. -We need to differentiate as coaches for educators. If we expect teachers to model differentiation for our students, we also have to model that differentiated learning.  -Research shows that our walk-throughs should take between 3- 10 minutes. If the goal is right you will be able to see it in that amount of time. Sometimes we can spend too much time. Then they miss out on other classrooms. If we can get in more often but for less time we will see greater growth in those educators we are coaching.  -We have to be very intentional with our time and our feedback. We have to think about the small steps.  We have to be mindful of their next step, not necessarily where we want them to be. Those can at times be two very different places, but focus on the small steps. Think about not the end mark, but the next small step in that learning progression.  -Intentional Instructional Moves - it outlines those big concepts of effective instruction, and breaks it down to intentional steps, and a virtual guide to have all the resources for each strategy.  -Human growth and psychology research and podcasts can be helpful. Listen to the podcasts and it can impact your work. -Take accurate notes- so we can see what we are doing so we can get where we are trying to go. -Coaches are collaborators of content and that partner for growth, that understands teachers do not come to school as a blank slate. They have other things going on outside of the school. We all need the support of other humans.  -Embedded coaching has the largest impact on student learning. It is hard because it is so important. It is also equally rich and rewarding.  -Find yourself a community of coaches and latch onto them. It is how people see things they need to see within themselves.    Connect with Sherry: -reflecttolearn.com - newsletter sign up there -Twitter, Instagram & Facebook

Our episode this week looks at an under-appreciated concept for reflecting on, and gaining new insights for your next career step or business idea.We go on a journey with Claire to learn about a ‘World Listening Tour' that Greta did some years back. She had decided to leave her intense role at (RED) and wasn't sure what she wanted to do next, nor even which country she should live in!This dilemma about what next prompted Greta to put together her very own listening tour to learn what had been happening in the world outside the bubble of her all-absorbing (RED) role, as well as discover what other interesting things were happening in the space she was interested in. At the same time, she figured, she'd also get a ‘feel' for whether she'd want to live in particular cities or not. In this unique episode we share:What a Listening Tour isWhat Greta wanted from her ‘World Listening Tour' How she secured her meetings, sometimes with amazing people What you need to consider to have your own successful listening tour, andHow you can have one these days without leaving home. What we love about the concept of a Listening Tour is that there's no limit to the kind of topics or themes you might want to explore. And, as you'll discover, through curious and well prepared conversations with contacts and strangers, a lot of insight can come. Perhaps a Listening Tour is exactly what you need now?

In this episode, the fabulous Rochelle Moulton, business coach, cohost of The Business of Authority podcast, and now(!) creator of her new podcast, Soloist Women, shares her journey from working with small boutiques to focusing primarily on soloists and creating a platform for women to share their stories and expertise. A few takeaways from Rochelle's episode:Redefining Wealth: Wealth is not just about revenue. It is the balance of what is important to you and brings you joy–whether money, free time and/or flexibility. We each get to define our own version of wealth. This redefinition of wealth is especially important for soloist women because we often face distinct challenges due to traditionally shouldering domestic responsibilities. The perfect mix isn't static, and may change during different seasons of business and life.The Importance of Building Assets: Don't underestimate the value of your unique knowledge and methods. Turn your methodologies and processes into valuable assets like books or unique tools, like creating licensable content or training programs. But be careful not to fall into the trap of misfit ideas that don't align with your business model.The Power of Listening: Rochelle embarked on a Listening Tour to understand the challenges soloist women face, their aspirations, and what frustrates them. By truly listening to their stories and experiences, she gained valuable insights that helped shape her offerings and connect with her audience more effectively. I particularly love this lesson Rochelle shares about listening tours that I can't hear often enough: “They gave me the sales copy for the landing page, because they told me stories. They told me experiences. They told me things that had happened to them. They told me what they did not want. Like they were so clear about what they didn't want. And I use that language on my website.”Don't miss out on this empowering episode of Hourly to Exit! Tune in now on your favorite podcast platform, and let Rochelle's story inspire you to embrace your own journey to success.

Episode 4 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show includes 2 segments. In Segment 2, host, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq., presents the following “Poock's Post:” Why Growing Law Firms Need to Invest Money & Time Post-Sale. As Poock explains, Growing Law Firms need to invest time and money post-sale because the benefits of a “Listening Tour,” followed by adapting and adopting, leads to Senior Attorneys and lawyers at a Growing Law Firm (1) Working together; and (2) Benefiting from the “Trust Transfer” of long-time clients and referral sources of a Senior Attorney to attorneys at the Growing Law Firm. As Poock also points out, if Growing Law Firms do not invest that time and money, “both sides will not realize the tremendous opportunity that growth by acquisition presents to Growing Law Firms.”

As an illustrator his work is regularly featured in Joanna Gaines's The Magnolia Journal. He lives in Tennessee with his wife and kids. Becoming Better GrownupsWhen his first book tour ended, Brad Montague missed hearing other people's stories so much that he launched what he dubbed a Listening Tour. First visiting elementary schools and later also nursing homes and retirement communities, he hoped to glean new wisdom as to how he might become a better grownup. Now, in this playful and buoyant book, he shares those insights with rest of us --timeless, often surprising lessons that bypass the head we're always stuck in, and go straight to the heart we sometimes forget.Each of the book's three sections begins with the illustrated story of "The Incredible Floating Girl." Brad weaves this story together with lessons of success, fear, regret, gratitude, love, happiness, and dreams to reveal the true reason we are here: to fly, and to help others fly.Beautifully designed and featuring Montague's own whimsical 4-color illustrations that appeal to the kid in all of us, Becoming Better Grownups shares the purpose and meaning we can all discover merely by listening, and reveals that--in a world that seems increasingly childish--the secret to joy is in fact to become more childlike.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many CPAs work super long hours and go for periods of time where their head is down, getting the work done. But when your head is down and you're busy, how do you take the time to find out what your clients truly want? Here today to talk with me about this is my guest, Rochelle Moulton.  Rochelle turns consultants and big thinkers into authorities. She earned her consulting and big thinker stripes leading introverted brainiacs at some powerhouse global consulting firms like Towers Perrin and Arthur Andersen. But even better, she has built, led (and sometimes sold) more than a few 6, 7 and 8-figure consulting businesses. And earned the equivalent of a second MBA building authority brands and businesses with hundreds of soloists. She has recently launched a mastermind to build wealth in the form of money, time, and flexibility, for soloist women in the expertise space.    Highlights: — ”In a listening tour, you're going to ask your ideal clients or prospects a very specific list of questions to get insight into something that you're trying to figure out, like a new product or a new program.”  — ”One the kinds of questions to ask, I'll open with something about their business, to make sure that I understand where they're coming from.” — ”What we think our audience wants is not necessarily what they actually will buy.” — ”A listening tour gives you a better understanding of what your clients want beyond what you think they want.”   ***Want one piece of business strategy delivered daily to your inbox?*** Subscribe here: https://www.shethinksbigcoaching.com/subscribe-main-list Connect with ROCHELLE: Website: https://rochellemoulton.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConsultingChick LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rochellemoulton/ Episode mentions: 166 How CPAs Can Build and Monetize Authority with Rochelle Moulton https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/166  

The National Mental Health Commission is about to embark on a listening tour of cities and towns across Australia to shape future mental health services and resources. Australians with lived experience of mental health are being urged to share their story and provide feedback on the system.

This episode features a conversation with Clark McKown, President and Founder of xSEL Labs and associate professor of behavioral sciences at Rush University Medical Center. xSEL Labs conducts an array of research in the education and youth field specific to social and emotional learning, or SEL. Notably, xSEL labs also develops assessments for student social and emotional competencies, as well as school climate and SEL for adults. xSEL Labs is currently building a new set of SEL assessments for middle school aged students, which are being designed not only with middle school students in mind but with their direct input.Clark and Jason talk about the history of xSEL Labs, the key differences of social and emotional learning for adolescents versus for younger children, and the evidence-based methods xSEL Labs uses to develop SEL measures as well as when and where and how in school environments the measures are administered. They then address important ways to factor racial and cultural inputs into SEL measures, Clark's views on the current state of the SEL field and where it's going, as well as emerging ways xSEL Labs is looking to provide more support to educators to implement SEL programming most effectively.Additional Readings and ResourcesxSEL LabsResearch and evidence base for xSEL Labs assessmentsRush Neurobehavioral Center“Social and Emotional Learning Programs for Adolescents,” by David Yeager, The Future of Children, Princeton University and Brookings Institution, Vol. 27, No. 1, Spring 2017CASEL Interactive Social and Emotional Learning WheelLessons in Adolescence Episode 3: Lessons with Dr. Robert JagersRemaking Middle School is launching a Middle School Listening Tour!

This episode features a conversation with Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO of FrameWorks Institute. FrameWorks plays a unique role in the social sector. It uses the science behind how human beings learn about and understand the world around them in order to position or frame social causes in ways that compel people to take positive action or change. For a number of years, FrameWorks has been developing strategies and resources to help educators and advocates reframe adolescence in ways that better call out aspects of exploration, discovery and openness, which balance out traditional messages of angst and risky behaviors.Nat and Jason talk about how FrameWorks got its start and the role it plays in the social sector, the research-based process it uses to develop compelling narratives for important issues and topics, and how FrameWorks has used that process to reframe adolescence. They also talk about some of the ways FrameWorks supports organizations and the broader field to use the most effective language and channels of communication to showcase the opportunity of adolescence, how to help parents and families balance their understanding and impressions of their own adolescent children, the power of positive examples and stories of adolescents, the role of framing in bridging polarization and the cultural and political divides in education as well as other domains, and some of the new areas FrameWorks is looking to expand into or go deeper in.Additional Readings and ResourcesFrameWorks InstituteStrategic Frame AnalysisⓇToolkit on reframing adolescence and adolescent developmentReframing Adolescence Blog SeriesNational Scientific Council on the Developing ChildThinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kaheman, Random House, 2011Remaking Middle School is launching a Middle School Listening Tour!

This episode features a conversation with Daquan Oliver, Founder and CEO of WeThrive. Still in the first decade of his career, Daquan has earned prestigious professional fellowships in the social sector, with Ashoka and Echoing Green, and was featured as one of Forbes magazine's thirty under thirty social entrepreneurs. WeThrive is the social enterprise Daquan founded in 2014. WeThrive offers middle and high school youth programming and seed money to develop real, revenue-generating businesses, bolstered by an array of skill-building curriculum and experiences around financial literacy, problem-solving and leadership, as well as opportunities to develop social capital through a network of mentors and advisors. WeThrive seeks to make entrepreneurship education and the opportunities it can bring equitably accessible, and in doing so really reframes how we even talk about and view youth, not as under-resourced, but rather, under-estimated.Daquan and Jason talk about his own experience as a young adolescent and how it inspired him to make entrepreneurism and youth service the core mission of his work. They then discuss how WeThrive was created, the under-estimated youth it is designed to serve, and the core elements of the program from curriculum through the launch of student-developed micro-enterprises. They also address WeThrive's effect on youth, how WeThrive builds not only practical skills but also senses of agency and self-worth, why and how students gravitate toward building businesses that solve social problems in their school, their community, and the world, and how Daquan thinks about scale and where WeThrive goes next within the evolving education and youth-serving landscape.Additional Readings and ResourcesWeThriveWeThrive school-based curriculumWeThrive appStudent-build company: Buffalo Bully-BustersAshoka FellowshipEchoing Green FellowshipForbes 30 Under 30 Social EntrepreneursMENTORFossilRemaking Middle School is launching a Middle School Listening Tour!

This episode features a series of comments and reflections and perspectives on the power of youth voice in helping young adolescents figure out what they care about and who they are, and the worth they see in themselves. First, we hear from Juleny Santa Cruz, Youth Council and Project Manager for Mikva Challenge, a Chicago-based organization that pioneered a type of experiential civics learning programming they call “action civics.” We also hear from researchers and program professionals from the University of Virginia's Youth-Nex Center for Effective Youth Development: Abby Gillespie, Director of Strategy and Engagement, and postdoctoral research associates Faith Zabek and Ashlee Sjogren. Together, they share the core elements of the Mikva program as well as some of the broader research base on youth voice, calling out its importance in early adolescent development, the role of educators in making room for and amplifying youth voice, and setting up learning environments where youth voice can be elevated to authentic youth participation. We then mostly hear from young people. Ten young adolescents - Hailey, Da'una, Amya, Nelly, Liz, Honesty, Michelle, Xitlali, Luis, and Laurice - talk about their experiences participating in the Mikva Challenge program. They share how Mikva offers a venue for them to engage in issues important to them and their community, for fostering positive relationships, and for developing confidence and a positive self concept. Additional Readings and ResourcesMikva ChallengeAction CivicsProject SoapboxYouth CouncilsElections and Campaign Experiences“Youth Voice in the Middle Grades."Ladder of Meaningful Youth Involvement.“Motivation, Engagement and Student Voice.""Measuring and Understanding Authentic Youth Engagement: The Youth-Adult Partnership Rubric."“Youth-adult partnerships: Entering new territory in community work and research.""Strengthening student voice initiatives in high schools: An examination of the supports Needed for school-based youth-adult partnerships.""The adoption of innovation in youth organizations: Creating the conditions for youth-adult Partnerships."“The psychology and practice of youth-adult partnership: Bridging generations for youth development and community change."Remaking Middle School is launching a Middle School Listening Tour!

This episode features a conversation with Daren Graves, Associate Professor of Education and Social Work at Simmons University and Adjunct Lecturer of Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Daren's work centers on racial identity development among youth. His most recent work is Schooling for Critical Consciousness, which shows “how schools can help Black and Latinx youth resist the negative effects of racial injustice and challenge its root causes,” a circumstance that has some particular relevance to Daren's research focus on black boys. Daren and Jason talk about the core features of racial identity development from the research literature, the concept of critical consciousness - plus what it means and does not mean in learning settings - the adultification of black boys and their resulting disproportionate representation in disciplinary incidents, how to best train pre-service teachers for a societal and educational landscape that is changing rapidly with respect to the racial composition of school-aged children, the intersection of racial identity development and social and emotional skill development, and the role of hip hop in the education of youth of color.Additional Readings and ResourcesSimmons University.Harvard Graduate School of Education.Schooling for Critical Consciousness: Engaging Black and Latinx Youth in Analyzing, Navigating, and Challenging Racial Injustice, Scott Seider and Daren Graves, Harvard Education Press, 2020.American Educational Research Association Hip Hop Special Interest Group.Young, Gifted, and Black: Promoting High Achievement among African-American Students, Theresa Perry, Claude Steele and Asa Hilliard III, Beacon Press, 2003.Their Highest Potential: An African American School Community in the Segregated South, Vanessa Sidle Walker, University of North Carolina Press, 1996.Lessons in Adolescence Episode 9: Lessons with Dr. Lisa Harrison.Lessons in Adolescence Episode 2: Lessons with Laura Ross.Paolo Friere's "Banking Concept of Education" from Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Bloomsbury Academic, 1968.CASEL Social and Emotional Learning Framework.Dr. Graves will be giving a Youth-Nex Talk on Friday March 18th at 11 AM ET on "Schooling for Critical Consciousness: Tools to help cultivate Youth Resilience and Agency."

This episode features a conversation with Nadia Selby and Elizabeth Micci from Citizen Schools, a 25-year-old Boston-based nonprofit that offers middle-school aged youth experiential learning opportunities through a blend of out-of-school time programming, in-school professional development, and community partnership. Nadia is a veteran of the organization, having worked there for some 14 years, and is currently Vice President of Programs. Elizabeth is Managing Director of Catalyst, Citizen Schools' teacher development model. The driving force behind all of Citizen Schools' work is embedding experiential learning opportunities into the educational experience, both in school and out of school, which is a powerful way to keep youth in the middle grades engaged and on-track. Nadia, Elizabeth and Jason talk about the history of Citizen Schools and how it has evolved over time - including spanning both the out-of-school and in-school domains - the ways in which the organization establishes partnerships with educators, mentors, schools and companies to deliver real world experiential learning, how they develop high quality talent and mentors to serve as a “second shift” of educators, and how out-of-school time programming, people and resources can be leveraged to expand the capacity of schools.

September 30, 2021 - Sen. Jeremy Cooney, a Rochester-area Democrat, recounts what he learned during September visits to eight mid-sized cities in the state in his capacity as chair of the recently created Senate Cities II Committee.

Today we had Pastor Eric Loh, Senior Pastor and English Congregation Pastor of Community Christian Alliance (CCA) Church, join us at the Listening Tour. Founded forty-five years ago, CCA Church ministers to a multi-generational and multilingual audience through its three congregations speaking English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Fun fact: Pastor Eric shares with us that it was in fact the English congregation that planted the church (the Mandarin and Cantonese congregations were added shortly afterward). Tune in to learn more about CCA Church -how the church was started, how the founders found their vision, the demographic and challenges Granada Hills (the city the church is currently established at) has and how CCA is preparing to address homelessness and other needs of their neighborhood and the local community. In addition, we had the chance to listen to Pastor Eric's unique journey: how his degree and experience in electrical engineering prepared him for full-time ministry, how CCA's pastoral staff leads a multi-congregational, multicultural and multi-generational church and his thoughts on the unique blessings second-generation children of immigrants carry. We know that our listeners will be encouraged to hear Pastor Eric Loh's thoughtful perspective, how CCA Church is partnering with the Lord to bless the greater Los Angeles area, and what the term "ABC" means.

Have you ever stopped and truly thought about and then processed how many communication interactions you have with your individual team members, entire team, on all platforms, on a given day, on a given year and then realized along the way that something probably didn't go the way you intended it. Misunderstood, misinterpreted, failed opportunity to further connect and or clarify something. Yikes - when you add it all up - it's a little scary - is reality sitting in yet? Today on the 358th episode of #YourMorningCommute I further discuss effective communication and the listening tour. Are you ready?

After a year and a half of Zoom speeches held in empty rooms, opposition leader Keir Starmer is heading out on a listening tour to connect with voters. That may be all well and good, but is anyone listening to him? And even if they are, does he have anything worth saying? James Forsyth talks to Isabel Hardman about the struggling Labour leader. 

For this episode we were fortunate enough to have UFF President Andrew Gothard and Vice President Caitlin Gille in the UFF-UCF Podcast Studio for a brief interview. We recorded this in late June before they took office on July 1. They were touring the state for their "Listening Tour" and for our interview we got them talking. If you want to reach out to either of them please email them. You can reach Andrew at jandrewgothard@gmail.com and Caitlin at cmgille@gmail.com. If you email them and tell them the secret password (Swordfish) they will give you the location to the super secret location of the UFF Presidential Inauguration Party. The UFF Presidential Inauguration After Party requires a different password even I don't have access to.

After hearing Jaslyn Dixon -Marriage and Family Therapy Licensed Therapist, Professor, and Gospel Care Director at Reality LA - speak for the Mental Health Conversation, we (like everyone else who attended) left with wanting more -so what did we do? We invited her to be on the Listening Tour. In the words of Jaslyn, her position as Reality LA's "Gospel Care Director" means coming alongside people to help them receive and reflect the heart of Christ and the power of our greatest counselor (the Holy Spirit) through leadership development and training, initiating various care programs and offering care. Altogether, it is a love-driven endeavor to make the church a safe and healing space. We asked her if other churches have similar positions, if the concept of soul care is becoming more commonplace, her story of pursuing psychology (she has two Master's degrees and a license!), how the gospel models soul care, and why soul care is important to the Christian walk. We were blessed to hear Jaslyn's testimonies as well as her encouragement to press into healing for His glory, see soul care as a vessel of incarnational ministry, ask how to practice lament and reconciliation, be a people who remember that God is at work, and in that, be freed to move at a pace of trust and peace. Listening to Jaslyn, we were moved by her reminder that the creator of shalom -which means wholeness, harmony and completeness- is with us, and we know that you will be blessed, too. To follow her work and projects, follow her on Instagram at @jaslynmft or contact her by e-mail on jaslynmft@gmail.com

If you're going through a career change, taking the leap of faith to start your own business, or admiring the Alabaster publication of Proverbs on your coffee table... you are in for a treat. Tune in to our Listening Tour episode with Co-founder of Alabaster Co., Brian Chung! Behind Alabaster's intentionally and beautifully designed books of the Bible was a journey of recognizing and responding to the realization that God's story is beautiful. Growing up, Brian had not been raised in the Christian faith and came to encounter the Lord during his freshman year in college. He shared with us the string of questions and risks that led him to ideate and commit to Alabaster's success full-time. For those of you unfamiliar with Alabaster's books, Brian's company makes "Bibles that look like coffee-table magazines" where each book of the Bible is accompanied by beautiful imagery, thoughtful design, and intentional negative space on every page. Their vision is to experience God as beautiful and so far, they've succeeded in doing so with 16 of the Bible's 66 books. What has been the best-selling book? And where did the name 'Alabaster' come from? Tune in to find out! Another topic we talked about was where he grew up (it wasn't California!) and the LA neighborhood he lived the longest in: South LA! So many great topics were discussed in the short half-hour we shared with Brian and we know you'll be encouraged by this young and faithful entrepreneur. If you want to know more about Alabaster Co: Website: alabasterco.com IG: @alabaster_co If you want to follow Brian Chung's journey: IG: @brianchung TikTok: brian__chung PS- Alabaster has a new book release in collaboration with Intervarsity this coming July that has "everything you love about Alabaster but with added guided meditations." Tune in to know which book of Scripture is being released (Hint: it's one of the gospels)!

Danny Levin returns to the show to share some new insights that are leading him to launch a Listening Tour this spring. We dive deep into the superconscious mind and the role of the breath's support. How do we access the superconscious world of the breath to shift our interactions with this world and our life into more harmony with God or the One Creator? What happens when we choose to surrender ourselves to the support of God and allow the willingness of the Universe to guide us?

Beginning this month, Rabbi Marc Baker, CJP's first new president and CEO in more than three decades, will tour Greater Boston with one goal: to listen. In fact, Marc predicts he'll listen to a thousand people—or more—in the Jewish community as he embarks on a year-long project called “The 360Five.” The CJP-sponsored initiative will focus on five questions and draw from a 360-view of the Jewish community—young adults, “less young” adults, religiously observant, decidedly secular, the Russian-speaking community, Jewish day school alum, the completely unaffiliated with anything Jewish but still “culturally Jewish” Jews, Boston's Israeli community and more. The goal will be to build more connected Jewish community and to strengthen Jewish life. Sounds easy, right? Marc explains how, when and why he's hitting the road and how you can get involved in a Jewish communal conversation unlike any we've had before. Edited by Jesse Ulrich, with music by Ryan J. Sullivan. Learn more: https://www.cjp.org/cjp-event-calendar/360-five-tour

This week, Pritch is motivated by a recent visit to OKC from PRSA CEO Joe Truncale, APR and National Chair Tony D’Angelo, APR on a “Listening Tour” of the US concerning membership in PRSA by young professionals.  Pritch and Kyle discuss the impact on a career from continuing education, networking and challenging yourself by interacting with your professional peers. Not just fresh out of school and low-level employees, but all professionals can benefit from memberships. At the same time CEO’s, Directors, etc. need to be encouraging (if not paying for) employees to participate in professional organizations based on career field.  Bonus advice for our Chief Strategic Idealist: “If you are going to become the best at what you do, the CEO, the #1 superstar in any industry you have to push yourself, compete with other professionals, learn from them and not be afraid you might be out-shined by anyone else.” Shoutout this week to such as OKC Ad Club (AAF), PRSA OKC, IABC Central Oklahoma, AMA OKC plus we announce our upcoming podcast series with the Oklahoma Venture Forum.  Subscribe to the NeoMarketing podcast on iTunes http://bit.ly/TheGoldingGroup and videos on YouTube http://bit.ly/GoldingGroupYouTube.
