Le geste qu'on associe aujourd'hui au terme “OK” a quant à lui une histoire longue et complexe; de l'Inde du 5e siècle avant notre ère aux monastères de la France médiévale en passant par la Grèce antique, ce geste a eu et continue d'avoir toutes sortes de sens différents. Et malheureusement, certains de ces sens sont plutôt regrettables… Texte: Catherine Tourangeau. https://www.facebook.com/LaPetiteHistorienne/ Montage: Benoît Mauffette de la chaîne @toujours_vivants Adhérez à cette chaîne pour obtenir des avantages : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN4TCCaX-gqBNkrUqXdgGRA/join Pour soutenir la chaîne, au choix: 1.

The club helps Ellen process a recent pivot her company had to make.

In this episode of the BackTable OBGYN Podcast, hosts Dr. Mark Hoffman and Dr. Amy Park discuss how cultivating an effective team culture in surgery can mitigate complications. The physicians emphasize that how surgical teams treat each other can significantly affect patient outcomes. They suggest under-promising and over-delivering to patients, their family, and members of the surgical team. The doctors recommend having a care culture, allowing everyone to voice their concerns without fear of reprisals. They also discuss the importance of self-management, leadership, and taking responsibility inside and outside the OR for complications and places where the surgery could have gone smoother. They agree that those who nurture a positive OR culture have higher success rates, noting that complications demand more than technical skills to handle - it takes emotional intelligence, humility, and a good support network. --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Introduction 02:07 - Dealing with Surgical Complications 04:24 - The Emotional Impact of Complications on Surgeons 07:24 - The Importance of Patient Communication and Care Post-Complication 08:35 - The Role of Consent and Preoperative Counseling in Managing Complications 11:18 - The Importance of a Supportive and Open Culture in Medicine 15:32 - The Importance of Learning from Mistakes in Medicine 24:28 - The Role of Leadership and Teamwork in the Operating Room 29:56 - The Value of Familiarity in a Medical Team 30:38 - The Importance of Recognizing and Appreciating All Roles in a Medical Team 34:31 - The Role of Care and Empathy in Medical Practice 37:28 - The Role of Preparation in Avoiding Complications 40:53 - The Importance of Scheduling and Time Management in Medical Practice 50:31 - The Impact of Culture on Reporting and Addressing Adverse Events 51:19 - The Importance of Feedback and Self-Reflection in Medical Practice
Episode Title: Building Your Dream Team In this week's podcast episode, Shane Kidwell, Sean Zalmanoff, Landon Hale, and Kyle Draper discuss how hiring the right people can really change the game for your business. They talked about finding hidden gems in the job market, asking quirky questions to see if someone fits your team vibe, and always being on the lookout for awesome people to join your crew. It's all about making smart moves to build a team that rocks! 01:04 – Diving into hiring strategies within the mortgage industry 02:15 – Exploring preferences in hiring experienced vs. inexperienced staff 05:05 – When and who to hire 8:00 – Open Culture in the workplace 16:00 – Importance of cultural fit in hiring 22:05 - Anticipating future hiring trendsTakeaways:It's really important that the people you bring on board care about the same things you do. Asking about what they read, what they would do with a chunk of money, or what they like to do for fun helps you see what they're all about.Sometimes, the best person for the job might not be right around the corner or have the exact background you thought you needed. Being open to different kinds of experiences and locations can lead you to some great hires.Right now, in the mortgage game, there's a chance to snap up some amazing people who know their stuff but are looking for work because of how the market's going. This is a golden chance to bring in some top talent.Getting the timing right when you add new people to your team is super important. You gotta make sure you're not jumping the gun or waiting too long. And when you're looking at who to hire, really dig into what they can do and if they'll fit well with your team.Quotes:"But it is the one topic that can absolutely make or break everything we do in our companies. And it is hiring.” "Trim. Transfer. Trash.""Impact is far more important than the amount of money you spend on people." "How far do you think they could drag a dead body?" “There's so much value in creating a common language inside of your company."Show Links:Community Platform: www.BecomeNL.com Podcast Partner: https://leadpops.com/mortgage/partners/nextlevel/ Social Media:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NextLevelLoanOfficers/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwSyHzkvBri1YWJSH7df1CQ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/next-level-loan-officers/about/

This time, Sally and Sam discuss the impact of AI on copywriting and the need for marketers to upskill themselves beyond their specialism. They also stress the importance of communication, collaboration, and a generalist understanding of all aspects of marketing. They explore the need for balance and experimentation in marketing, while also being mindful of the resources and time available. So, perhaps marketers need to take a deep breath, evaluate their strategies, and make adjustments as needed to achieve success.AI in Copywriting [00:00:24] Marketing Generalist [00:02:06] Alignment between Sales and Marketing [00:05:36] The Importance of Open Culture [00:09:37] Managing Feedback [00:08:12] Tips on how to manage feedback from different departments and how to filter and prioritize them.Balancing Specialism and Generalist Understanding [00:07:06] Over-egging the pudding [00:14:11]Importance of analytics [00:17:20]Trying something new [00:19:34]Take stock of your marketing [00:23:35]Exploring old marketing techniques [00:22:00]Challenges of digital communication [00:20:14]We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences, so please share!

Heute haben wir für Euch eine ganz besondere Folge vorbereitet, randvoll mit frischen Eindrücken und Gesprächen von der Jahreskonferenz der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften im deutschsprachigen Raum – DHd2023. Einige der Konfernzteilnehmer*Innen haben sich netterweise die Zeit genommen, sich für ein Gespräch mit uns zusammenzusetzen, obwohl die zwischen Panels, Workshops und Kaffee-Gesprächen wirklich rar war. Mit dabei sind Agnes Thomas (mainzed), Noah Baumann (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Julia Tolksdorf (Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur Mainz), Martin Sievers (Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur Mainz), Mareike König (Deutsches Historisches Institut Paris), Martin de la Iglesia (Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel) und Sarah Lang (Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz / Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung). Sie sprechen mit uns über ihre Eindrücke, persönliche Highlights und ihr Verhältnis zum Tagunsthema der Konferenz, “Open Humanities, Open Culture”. Vielen lieben Dank noch einmal an Euch für Eure Zeit und die spannenden Gespräche! Wir haben außerdem versucht, die wunderbare Atmosphäre der 5 Konferenztage in Belval und Trier für Euch einzufangen, sei es bei angeregten Gesprächen beim Sektempfang, bei den Knallerbeiträgen des Posterslams – Credits an Dana Eichhorst, Henny Sluyter-Gäthje und Gang, Nicolas Ruth & sein Team of Directors, “Flugbegleiter” Luca Giovannini & Daniil Skorinkin sowie TimTaj für den Track ScienceCorporate und an Julian Häußler –, in der malerisch-verwirrenden Umgebung des Moseltals oder beim schon jetzt legendären Social Event. Grüße gehen an dieser Stelle raus an Klaus Sonnabend und Christian Breddermann vom Akkustik-Duo Ich und Du, die gemeinsam mit der DHd-Community das Social Event gerockt haben.

In dieser Folge spricht Mareike mit Anja Gerber und Tessa Gengnagel von der DHd-AG Empowerment. Das Tagungsthema der DHd2023 “Open Humanities, Open Culture” ist der AG sehr wichtig, denn es ist noch viel zu tun, was die Offenlegung und Sichtbarmachung der Digital Humanities-Forschung in anderen Ländern und auch von nicht-weißen, nicht-männlichen, nicht-westlichen Forschenden betrifft. Außerdem hat die AG das Tagungsthema zum Anlass genommen, ein Panel auszurichten, in dem die Offenheit der Forschung in den Digital Humanities hinterfragt und diskutiert wird. Die AG bündelt in ihrer Arbeit Bestrebungen der Dekolonialisierung und des Abbaus von Diskriminierungen sowohl im Bereich der Forschungsgegenstände (z. B. bei Archivbeständen und Repositorien) als auch im Bereich der Forschung und ihrer sozialen Strukturen der Digital Humanities. Anlass zur Gründung der AG war ein Blogartikel mit dem Titel The Computational Humanities and Toxic Masculinity aus dem Jahr 2020 von Sarah Lang auf ihrem Blog LaTeX Ninja, in dem sie die Digital Humanities aus feministischer Perspektive hinterfragt. Es folgte ein Workshop auf der vDHd2021 und schließlich die Gründung der AG. Die AG beteiligt sich an der DHd2023 mit zwei Veranstaltungen: Zum einen mit einem Workshop “Data Feminism in DH: Hackathon und Netzwerktreffen”, zum anderen mit dem bereits erwähnten Panel “Open DH? Mapping Blind Spots”. “Data Feminism” bedeutet hierbei, die kritische Be- und Durchleuchtung von männlich dominierten wissenschaftlichen Narrativen in den DH. Die AG freut sich sehr über neue Mitglieder und lädt alle Interessierten zum Mitmachen ein!
In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Melanie Seltmann und Mareike Schumacher über die DHd-AG digitale Wissenschaftskommunikation und Public Humanities und ihr Verhältnis zum Motto der DHd2023 Jahreskonferenz “Open Humanities, Open Culture”. Die Themen Wissenschaftskommunikation und auch Citizen Science gibt es schon länger, auch in den Geisteswissenschaften, allerdings gab es lange noch Vorbehalte und Umsetzungsschwierigkeiten. Erst in den letzten Jahren hat das Thema einen massiven Aufschwung erfahren (insbesondere an Relevanz und Anerkennung), sodass die Arbeitsgruppe eine Plattform des Austausches schaffen will. Wie kann man gute Wissenschaftskommunikation betreiben? Was sind Mehrwerte, die Öffentlichkeit an der eigenen Forschung zu beteiligen? Was sind hilfreiche Tools und bewährte Vorgehensweisen? Diesen und ähnlichen Fragen widmet sich die AG und das Motto der diesjährigen Jahreskonferenz passt perfekt für ihren Auftakt. Auch aktuelle Herausforderungen bei der Wissenschaftskommunikation und Citizen Science Methoden sollen in der AG diskutiert werden, beispielsweise das Thema der wissenschaftlichen Reputierung und auch, inwiefern Forschungseinrichtungen Unterstützung leisten (können).
In dieser Folge spricht Jonathan mit Daniel Jettka, einem der Convenor*innen der DHd-AG Research Software Engineering in den Digital Humanities. Auch für diese Arbeitsgruppe spielt das Tagungsthema der DHd2023 “Open Humanities, Open Culture” eine zentrale Rolle: In Bezug auf die Entwicklung von Forschungssoftware lässt sich Offenheit einmal in Bezug auf den Gegenstand, nämlich Software und Code, denken und zum anderen in Bezug auf die Prozesse der Entwicklung. Hieran schließen sich auch Versuche der Offenlegung der Karrierewege von Research Software Engineers in den DH an, die sowohl in Forschungsprojekten, als auch was die Ausbildung und Karrierewege betrifft, einen besonderen Status bei der AG haben. Hierfür will die Arbeitsgruppe vernetzen und zum Wissenstransfer einladen. Eine Maßnahme vor dem Hintergrund dieser Zielsetzung ist der Workshop der AG auf der DHd2023 mit dem Titel “Offen für Professionalisierung”, in dem es um die Rolle und aber auch externe Rollenvorstellungen von Softwareentwicklerinnen in den DH geht. Diese Professionalität bzw. Professionalisierung lässt sich auch in Beziehung setzen mit dem sich abzeichnenden Wandel im Bewusstsein von fördermittelgebenden Institutionen wie z. B. der DFG, was die Förderung von Forschungssoftware betrifft, aber auch mit der Kultur, die Softwareentwicklerinnen haben und die sich beispielsweise in der Offenlegung von noch unfertigem Code widerspiegelt. Mit ihrem Workshop auf der DHd2023 will die AG ein breites Publikum adressieren und insbesonderen jüngeren Softwareentwickler*innen eine Orientierung in Bezug auf ihre eigenen Karrierestufen und -wege eröffnen. Es sind alle Interessierten herzlich eingeladen!
In dieser Folge unserer Reihe von Kurzinterviews, die wir in Vorbereitung und Vorfreude zur Jahreskonferenz der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften im deutschsprachigen Raum (DHd2023) aufgenommen haben, spricht Jonathan mit zwei der Convener*Innen der DHd-AG Multilingual DH, Till Grallert und Cosima Wagner. Das diesjährige Konferenzthema “Open Humanities, Open Culture” ist der AG ein zentrales Anliegen. Seit ihrer Gründung im letzten Jahr will sie sowohl im deutschsprachigen DH-Raum als auch in Vernetzung mit den stark anglophon geprägten internationalen Digital Humanities eine stärkere Öffnung zur Multilingualität erreichen. Wir sprechen dabei mit Cosima und Till über die vielfältigen Forschungspraktischen, aber vor allem auch ethischen Beweggründe hierfür, beispielsweise was eine Unterstützung der Humanities unter anderem des globalen Südens in einer international sehr westeuropäisch-amerikanisch geprägten Forschungslandschaft und -infrastruktur betrifft. In diesem Zug kommen wir auch immer wieder auf die ganz praktischen sowie technischen Herausforderungen dieser Diskrepanzen zu sprechen und auf mögliche Lösungsansätze, die die AG gemeinsam mit anderen Akteur*Innen der internationalen Digital Humanities zu erarbeiten versucht. Auf der DHd2023 werden die multilingual DH unter anderem am zweiten Konferenztag Thema bei der Eröffnungskeynote von Quinn Dombrowski sein, und die AG wird auf der Konferenz außerdem ein Mitgliedertreffen am Donnerstag, den 16.03.2023, sowie ein digitales Post-Conference Barcamp am Mittwoch, den 22.3.2023 (Anmeldung über Zoom erbeten), abhalten. Falls ihr Interesse bekommen habt, an der AG mitzuwirken, könnt ihr – wie in der Folge besprochen – über folgende Links Kontakt aufnehmen: Discord (bitte die AG Convenor per Mail anschreiben), Website, Mailingliste, Communityhour (Termine siehe auch unten auf der Website) und Twitter (@AGMLDH) bzw. Mastodon (@mldh@fedihum.org).
In der dritten Folge unserer 4. Staffel, die wir zur Einstimmung auf die Jahreskonferenz der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften im deutschsprachigen Raum (DHd2023) aufgenommen haben, spricht Jonathan mit Marina Lemaire und Sibylle Söring, den Convenerinnen der DHd AG Datenzentren. Zunächst erzählen uns beide etwas über die Geschichte und die Ziele der AG und verweisen für einen tieferen Einblick noch einmal auf eine unserer vergangenen Folgen, in der die ehemaligen Convenorinnen der AG, Katrin Moeller und Ulrike Wuttke, bereits zu Gast waren. Schon seit ihrem Entstehen 2014 ist das diesjährige Konferenzthema “Open Humanities, Open Culture” auch in der AG Datenzentren präsent und wird auf technischer Ebene und in eigenen Publikationen bewusst praktiziert. Sie sprechen außerdem über den Stellenwert von Openness in den DH und welche organisatorischen, technischen und strukturellen Herausforderungen auch im Rahmen der AG Datenzentren – grundsätzlich im engen Gespräch mit Forschenden und ihren konkreten Problemen – diskutiert und vorangebracht werden. Ganz in diesem Sinne bietet die AG auf der DHd2023 einen “Hands-on-Workshop Datendokumentation” an, bei dem die Erarbeitung von gemeinsamen Dokumentationspraktiken für eine bessere Nachnutzbarkeit von Daten im Fokus steht.
In der ersten Kurzfolge, die wir zum Eingrooven auf die DHd2023 vorbereitet haben, spricht Jonathan mit Gernot Howanitz von der DHd AG Film und Video. Es geht vor allem darum, zu erfahren, inwiefern das Konferenzthema der DHd2023 “Open Humanities und Open Culture” für die Arbeit der AG von Bedeutung ist. Es geht aber auch darum, inwiefern die Öffnung gerade bei der Arbeit mit Filmdaten auch problematisch sein kann und inwiefern man manchmal an Grenzen stößt. Die gibt es allerdings nicht, wenn es um Mitarbeit in der AG geht. Forschende aller Fachbereiche sind willkommen, einzige Voraussetzung ist das Interesse an der Arbeit mit audiovisuellen Daten. So sind beispielsweise auch Forschende, die sich auf Filmmusik spezialisiert haben, sehr willkommen. Die Möglichkeit, die AG Film und Video persönlich zu treffen, gibt es im Rahmen des AG-Meetings auf der Jahreskonferenz der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften im deutschsprachigen Raum (DHd2023) in Luxemburg und Trier und auch bei ihrem Panel zum Thema “Open Humanities in der Filmwissenschaft – zwischen Wunsch und Wirklichkeit”.

Will God answer your prayer if you don't end with, "In Jesus' name, Amen?" Learn what praying in the name of Jesus really means. I taught this week on the call of Abraham and the development of God's missionary call through the nation of Israel as they were responsible to communicate the truth of God to the cultures around them. They were given that great commission. The great commission didn't start in Matthew 28. It started with Abraham in Genesis 12—the first three verses there—Abraham, chosen by God to raise up a nation who would then be God's priests to the world so that they would be a blessing to all of the nations. They had a unique role in the great monotheistic religion. The Jews were supposed to reflect morality to the world. Israel was to witness to the name of God. When they talked about the name of God and witnessing to God's name, that does not mean that they were to let everybody know what they called God, "Yahweh." Their goal wasn't to cover the countryside with evangelists who just let everybody know what the right word for God was. It meant something different. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon---------------------------------------------------#face #instagram #amour #take #couple #garden #tiktok #psychology #beyou #near #love #foryou #money #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing

With concerts cancelled, bands make due. No NYC band is making a greater effort than King Crash, probably the first to play out in the city in lockdown. I sit down with Ryan Shivdasani, Jack Redford and Rubio to get an inside look about what it looks like to forge ahead as a performer in lockdown. We talk about the joy of public performances, what the upcoming Open Culture initiative could mean for performers, why the most colorful characters tend to approach Jack, how Ryan doesn't really want to hear Jimi Hendrix everyday, and Rubio gives some insight as to why other bands might be more reluctant to do all that King Crash does. Also in this episode are mentions of a few other NYC bands that play out (info below). Got any tips on where to see bands, or would like to see a band featured? Send a DM!

We’ve lurked in the wings of the Café De Paris, Piccadilly to catch the hugely successful entrepreneur and former burlesque dancer Paulina Tenner this week. Paulina is the founder of Grant Tree, an open culture company that pioneered an open salary scheme to help tech start-ups navigate the complex world of government funding. She talks to us on her ‘vomit edit’ writing process for her new book; ‘What the Business Leader Learnt From the Stripper’, Open Culture and Holacracy, how she got into burlesque and what it brought to her business chops, why today’s leaders need to be more of a C.U.N.T., blagging a position as a company director when barely out of UCL and tonnes more. Put your fishnets on, boys and girls, and have a listen. ///// Follow Paulina on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulinasygulska/) On Twitter (https://twitter.com/paulinatenner) And she’s also on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/paulinatenner/) Here is her website & book (https://www.paulinatenner.com/) And her ISOLATED Talk (https://www.isolatedtalks.com/talks/what-the-business-leader-learnt-from-the-stripper/) Watch Freddie Mercury and Queen perform The Show Must Go On (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99KH0TR-J4) Paulina’s book recommendations are: Reinventing Organisations (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reinventing-Organizations-Illustrated-Invitation-Conversation/dp/2960133552) by Frederic Laloux In Over Our Heads (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Over-Our-Heads-Mental-Demands/dp/0674445880) by Robert Kegan /////

THANK YOU XXXNOW! What we have here is a collection of a few voice memos and recordings sent in by some listeners and friends - mine and yours, or if not yours already, NOW yours - which go into how things have changed, what some people are doing out there, or ways to cope and stay afloat with it all. I’m so happy that there were a few responses and I asked everyone at a weird time, JUST on the cusp of the lockdown so at that point it was very much up in the air as to what we were all doing or supposed to be doing. Now we’re like 2 weeks in so I think I speak for us all when I say WE GOT THIS.So please enjoy some lovely dispatches from some lovely people who you can catch up with here:Keith Clarke!Morgan Gleave!Jo Miller!

GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!Greetings to you wherever you are right now, at this current moment in time and, well, history.I trust you’re doing as good as can be expected - salutes to you, and huge love in abundance. I know this sounds like a vague catch-all thing to say but I mean it. I hope you’re doing alright.This episode is a bit different. It’s a solo episode, but in many ways, I’m merely setting the stage for YOU to be the guest. Here’s the plan… So in Margate (and Thanet on the whole), there has been a real sense of amazing community spirit in this unprecedented time. I feel like we haven’t been through something like this and we don’t know the parameters, but within that chaos, there are some incredible examples of kindness and community assistance, fuelled by thoughtful and considerate acts which have really made me smile.What I want to do with THIS episode then, is hear from YOU. If you are a business in Thanet, record a voice memo and email it to me at:buddysbuddies@protonmail.comLet me know who you are, what you might be doing and how it all works, and if you’re feeling up for it, how YOU’RE doing / coping / any recommendations, whatever you like.BUT - this is also open to anyone who wants to chime in. Please do. I really want you to. Let’s treat this like an audio diary. Maybe even therapy? I don’t know. But I do know that in a time of isolation and distancing, we gotta connect and let each other know where we’re at.If possible, if you can keep it to like 3-5 minutes or so that’d be mad helpful. I’ll be editing so don’t worry if you don’t get it spot on - just get it done and sent! Leave the rest to me.We’ll see what happens. But please do it. I’m so excited to see and hear the results. I’ll assemble them soon as I can and soon as I have a good amount, as I know that in terms of businesses and shops, the situation might change so I’ll do my best.Alright. Stay safe as you can. Drink water. Take time to think about other stuff. Thank you so much folks, I really hope we can get this voice memo thing to work out!

(18:31-27:38): What makes you cry? Brian and Ian talk about things in life, anything, that start the water works for them. Military parents or family members coming home, movies, you name it. (27:48-36:48): President Donald Trump made a speech during the Fourth of July in DC. In the speech he mentioned that the military ‘took over the airports’ in the Revolutionary War. Brian and Ian discuss how Trump responded to it and how we react to mistakes and how to own them. (36:48-47:25): In the wake of Disney Channel Star Cameron Boyce’s death, Brian and Ian discuss the delicacy and fragility of life.

“Sometimes a sales conversation can feel like we're speaking different languages. If you've ever had that experience, you may benefit from this week's podcast on the importance of business knowledge to every sale.” Episode Overview In this episode, Bruce Scheer talks to Darrell Amy about the importance of learning to manage and focus your time to become a more productive and valuable seller. Darrell is the founder and chief innovation officer of Convergo Marketing and a co-host on the Selling From the Heart Podcast. With his extensive experience, he provides business-to-business (B2B) companies with sales and marketing solutions with particular attention to increasing long-term value for his clients. Creating Productive Sales Conversations with the Language of Business Losing a potential sale is a difficult thing to experience, especially if you don't understand why it happened. Every salesperson worries about improving their productivity and earning a customer's emphatic “yes.” While lost sales are an unavoidable part of the sales life, there are situations in which knowledge and experience can make a difference. For Darrell Amy, one major limitation in sales productivity is a lack of business knowledge. In other words, you need to recognize the importance of business value – immediate and long-term – in all sales conversations. According to Darrell Amy, developing your business acumen by learning the language of business is essential for maximizing the success of your sales conversations. While good intentions have value to you, they generally lack sales value to the customer. To motivate customers to say “yes,” you need to present a clear understanding of the return on investment (ROI). Businesses, after all, have a limited amount of their most prized resources: time and money. More importantly, businesses typically focus their time and money on their strategic priorities, which extend beyond the return on investment (ROI). It doesn't matter if you're solving a problem or have great ideas. The priorities of a business require that they are careful with the attention they give and the resources they expend. Unfortunately, business acumen is often missing from the sales equation. For this reason, Darrell Amy suggests that we view sales skills and business acumen as the two pillars of sales. Why does business acumen matter in sales conversations? Most salespeople have a robust sales toolbox full of the right questions and actions to drive sales conversations. However, one of the biggest challenges for even seasoned salespeople is learning how to drive business conversations. Some of us jump too quickly into sales conversation mode and skip the business side of the equation. We are also likely to miss two critical factors: Understanding the key drivers for a business, including their business goals and challenges Failing to bring these key drivers into a conversation to show a prospective buyer that we understand where they are coming from Understanding what motivates a business allows the seller to elucidate how a solution or product fits into the world of the buyer and connects to the top-level goals and challenges of the company. Making these connections maximizes the potential for closing a sale. One way to understand the priorities of a business is to consider the different levels of value. These include: Return on Investment (ROI)What are the immediate, hard costs to the buyer? What are the immediate, expected returns for the buyer? Business ImprovementHow will your product or service improve the business in the long-term (i.e., enhancing workflow or customer retention)? How might these improvements help the business save on the hard costs? Risk ReductionWhat are the risks the business faces as a consequence of its products or services (i.e., lawsuits, data breaches, etc.)? What can you do to minimize or remove those risks? These values are dependent upon the business and its goals. While many of these values are not quantifiable, addressing them can turn a traditional sale into a deeper sale. Businesses are always thinking about business improvement or risk reduction, and the return on investment (ROI) can sometimes become a secondary interest. As such, demonstrating the value of your service or product to the long-term goals of the business offers the buyer more than just the return on investment (ROI). Instead, it offers exponential benefits. Bringing the language of business into your sales conversations, thus, builds upon the two important dynamics of successful sales: trust and value. How can you use the language of business in your sales conversations? According to Darrell Amy, there are several immediate steps you can take to generate business-savvy sales conversations: Come to a prospective sale having done your homework on the business. Show genuine interest in learning about their business and prepare relevant questions to facilitate that learning. Begin sales conversations by establishing the company's top strategic goals. Connect the flow of the conversation to those goals so the buyer does not lose sight of the impact your service or product will have on their bottom line. Close a sale the same way you started it: by bringing the conversation back to the business goals you identified at the start. Doing so reinforces the value of what you are offering. Using these methods will create stronger connections between your sales goals and the business goals of the prospective buyer. As a result, you reinforce the value of what you are offering, mainly because you have looked beyond the immediate return to the long-term benefits for the company. How can you develop your business knowledge? While you don't need to earn a business degree to become versed in business language and practices, there are a few things you can do to expand your knowledge base: Read business books and magazines Take a look at the top business on Amazon and give some of them a read. Do the same with current business magazines. Both will keep you up-to-date with the field of business and the various perspectives involved. Listen to online lectures Many universities offer lectures from various business courses in podcast form. Open Culture has a partial list of some of these courses. Take an online course Websites such as EdX and Coursera offer online courses in a variety of business topics. Many of these courses are taught by top faculty at major universities and are either free or relatively affordable. In other words, consume a steady diet of business education in addition to your sales education. After all, good sales professionals realize that learning is fundamental to sales success. Remember that becoming a better seller is a progressive process. It takes time, effort, and perseverance. Adding business knowledge to your repertoire is just a part of the necessary process of adaptation. Take advantage of it. Key Takeaways: Language of Business - Educate yourself on the language of business by reading, taking classes, and listening to business owners. Rather than relying on well-versed sales strategies, learn to develop your business knowledge so you can clearly and directly invest your goals in the priorities of the client's business. Genuine Curiosity - Begin a sales conversation by investing in the client's business by showing genuine curiosity in what they do and in their top strategic goals. By doing so, you create a stronger connection to the company and its goals, which builds trust and solidifies the value you bring to the table. Beyond Immediate ROI - Think beyond the immediate return on investment (ROI) to the other factors that may improve the client's business. This might include emphasizing the ways your solutions will help the business grow or reduce risk. In other words, think about long-term value in addition to guaranteed returns.

At Atlassian, openness is core to everything the company does: employees can access most information on Confluence; "open company, no bullshit" is one of the company’s five values. But it can be risky. Atlassians knew the company was going public four months before it filed. The entire company was told about Atlassian selling its chat products Stride and Hipchat to its largest competitor in the space, Slack, four days before the news went out. Some would say that that level of openness is unnecessary, but Atlassian believes that trust and honesty are essential to maintaining the culture its worked so hard to build. Missed the session?

Can a high-ranking corporate leader make the switch to purpose-driven leadership? Michael Spinosa, CEO of Unleashed Technologies, hit the reset button on his career to pursue building his own business as a way to escape his unfulfilling career in the corporate world. Today on the Growing with Purpose podcast, host Paul Spiegelman talks with Michael Spinosa, CEO of Unleashed Technologies, an award-winning design and development firm in Columbia, Maryland. Though Michael started out in the corporate world and found great success, he felt a pull to build a business with purpose. As he attempted to transition out of his career, he found himself running into major national crises, like the dot-com bubble burst after college and the housing crisis in 2007. How does a leader pave his own path amidst national unrest — and what does it take to reinvent yourself as a leader mid-career? In this episode, hear how Michael built a culture of trust, fun, and accountability at Unleashed Technologies, and the greatest challenges he's faced on his journey to purpose-driven leadership.

Listen to the interview by clicking the arrow on the audio player below. For many of us, the past few weeks have been especially hard and depressing. As a nation, and as individuals, we are grappling with a host of painful issues. And grapple we must; bending that long arc towards justice is arguably the one job we all share. That said, it's a tough job, making moments of comic relief not only acceptable, in my view, but necessary. Yesterday, my moment of comic relief came via the work of artist Jonathan Crow. My response to his Veeptopus series, which I glimpsed by chance in my Facebook feed, was to laugh out loud. I was grateful for the guffaw, and curious, too. Personally, I didn't need a why, but I still wanted to know if there was one. So I called Crow and asked: why put an octopus on the head of every U.S. vice president? About Jonathan Crow: Jonathan Crow was born in Toledo, Ohio. He grew up in Bowling Green and currently lives in Los Angeles, with stops in Austria, Boston, and rural Japan along the way. He spent much of his misspent youth getting largely useless graduate degrees, including an MFA in Film from CalArts. When not drawing pictures, he is a screenwriter and a writer whose work has appeared in Yahoo! Movies, The Hollywood Reporter, The History Channel, Open Culture and other publications. His Etsy shop is completely delightful. Photo notes: both images are used with permission from Jonathan Crow.
Food is an adventure. If you agree with that statement and want to explore a culture through its food but are worried about getting sick, listen to Jodi Ettenberg's advice on how to safely navigate the delicious back alleys of street food, anywhere in the world. As Jodi points out, "I've not found any other thing in travel that compels locals to want to interact with you as much as enthusiasm for their food... Street food, especially, affords this wonderful scene you get to watch. It's like slicing open a culture and then sitting and watching it unfold in front of you. It's really compelling." After saving up as a lawyer in New York City, Jodi Ettenberg took a career break to see the world for a year. Five years later, she has yet to return while manifesting what many would consider to be a dream career as a travel writer, eater, speaker, soup expert, and authority in street food at her website, Legal Nomads. Last year, she received just over one million views. I'm thrilled to welcome her on the show to talk about travel and its relationship to career transitions and, of course, street food. There are very few things that excite me more than street food. Listen to today's episode and hear Jodi's best advice about approaching street food safely and through a lens of culture, as well as her best travel advice in today's lightning round. Words from an Explorer: "I've not found any other thing in travel that compels locals to want to interact with you than enthusiasm for their food... Street food, especially." What You'll Learn: How street food can be the most authentic experience, food as a platform to soak up so much culture. Why street food is arguably safer than restaurant food, and how to identify signals that any food might not be safe. Jodi's Best Travel Advice: Taking the First Step: Do sufficient research for your destination, and address the concerns of your family, then book a tour. "There's nothing shameful about needing structure from someone else before you head off on your own." Money Saving Tip: Street food goes a long way, and can be as cheap as $1/meal. Check out travel hacking resources, or consider one-way open jaw trips and book budget options, local flights or buses to save on travel. Finding the Best Airfare: Skyscanner, Google Flights to search for flights. Then book directly with airlines. If you book with an aggregator, call up the airline, give them a confirmation number (and try to get your seat). Packing Tips: Jodi hates packing. Hates it!

This week: Duncan, Brian, and Abigail Satinsky in conversation with James Voorhies at the Open Engagement conference, which took place from May 13 to 15, 2011 at Portland State University. Open Engagement is an initiative of PSU’s Art and Social Practice MFA program that encourages discussion on various perspectives in social practice. In this conversation, Voorhies, who was a featured presenter at this year’s conference, talks about the origin, evolution, and activities of the Bureau for Open Culture, which he founded. The Bureau for Open Culture is a curatorial and pedagogic institution for the contemporary arts. It works intentionally to re-imagine the art exhibition as a discursive form of education that creates a kind of new public sphere or new institution. Exhibitions take shape as installations, screenings, informal talks, and performances; they occur in parking lots, storefronts, libraries, industrial sites, country roads, gardens, and galleries. In doing so, the Bureau generates platforms for learning and knowledge production that make ideas accessible, relevant, and inviting for diverse audiences. This model encourages overlaps of art, science, ecology, the built environment, philosophy, and design. Form, content and site are underlining points of critical inquiry for Bureau for Open Culture. This interview is part of the ongoing collaboration between Bad at Sports and Art Practical.
