Podcasts about Orientation

Expert clinicians who enter academia are often unprepared to function in the role of nursing faculty due to a lack of academic preparation for teaching roles. This gap in readiness can lead to challenges in delivering effective instruction, mentoring students, and meeting academic expectations. Drs. Abby Suarez and Rebecca Lane describe their orientation program for novice nurse educators and how they are using it in their own nursing programs.

When the world feels overwhelmingly complex, outrage becomes an easy shortcut. It offers an instant—if temporary—feeling of certainty, control, and moral superiority. But what if our explosive reactions to political and social differences aren't just about the issues themselves, but about how we orient ourselves amid uncertainty?In this episode, David sits down with philosopher and educator Dr. Douglas Giles to explore the philosophy of orientation—a practical diagnostic lens for understanding how we make sense of our environment, construct identity, and navigate interpersonal conflict.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

Ep 319 Peacewarts: Morphological Peace 101 – Orientation & The Architecture of Cruelty (Class 1) We enter the builder's studio to launch the Department of Morphological Peace, establishing how structural shape determines civic flow. Using London anti-homeless stud removals, the Camden bench, Seneca Village, Grants Pass v. Johnson, and local shelter litigation in Chico as historical anchors, we explore how to audit defensive urban design and convert hostile architecture into spaces of rest and contact. Homework: Look up the design of the 2012 Camden bench and identify two specific physical features built into its concrete shape to deter specific human behaviors. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write 'no question.' Optional: Walk through your local town or neighborhood. Take note of one spot where hostile architecture is present and journal about how that space could be redesigned to offer contact and rest instead of dispersal. Books: If you would like to read more on this subject, some book suggestions are Callous Objects: Designs Against the Homeless by Robert Rosenberger, an essential examination of how public space is engineered to exclude vulnerable populations, and The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces by William H. Whyte, a classic observational study detailing how specific physical design choices either draw human beings together or drive them apart.   Learning Topics: Hostile Architecture; Defensive Urban Design; Camden Bench; Seneca Village; Grants Pass v. Johnson; Warren v. City of Chico; Re-Commoning.

Guests: Jennifer Bold, D.N.P., APRN, C.N.P.; Michelle Booth-Kowalczyk, APRN, C.N.P.; John Weimer, PA-C; Alec Williams, APRN, C.N.P., D.N.P.;   As healthcare grows increasingly complex, the success of newly hired nurse practitioners and physician assistants depends not only on their preparation, but also on the systems that support their integration, development, and long-term success. While orientation may last weeks or months, the journey to confidence, competence, and professional identity often extends through the first two years of practice. Organizations increasingly recognize that onboarding, mentorship, structured development, and transition-to-practice programs play a critical role in clinician retention, engagement, productivity, and patient care. In this episode, Mayo Clinic NP and PA leaders discuss what distinguishes onboarding from orientation, explore evidence-informed approaches to supporting new clinicians, and share lessons learned from developing successful transition-to-practice programs. The topic for this podcast is Onboarding, Orientation, and the First 24 Months: What Retains High-Performing NPs and PAs.

An historic tape was found. This week features a remarkable 1970 recording of Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, and other members of the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), made by 20-year-old WBAI reporter Liza Cowan. Rediscovered nearly 50 years later by Making Gay History in the Lesbian Herstory Archives, the tape captures Rivera and Johnson speaking candidly about their lives, gender expression, discrimination, sexuality, and activism, as well as their efforts to create community and support for street youth through STAR House. This is what is believed to be the earliest known recording of Rivera and Johnson and offering an extraordinary first-person glimpse of two pioneering trans activists at the beginning of their political lives. In the news this week, a new report finds LGBTQ+ people make up more than 12 percent of the U.S. population, while a federal judge again strikes down Texas's drag ban. LGBTQ+ asylum seekers face heightened danger amid a migration crisis in Spain's Ceuta, and South African activists mobilize against an anti-LGBTQ+ “family values” conference. And in Ireland, Cork opens the country's first permanent LGBTQ+ museum exhibition, featuring a historic Rainbow Flag from San Francisco. Featured speakers: Brigitte Bandit, LGBT choir Choral Con Fusion, Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, Victor.

When any Muslim worships, from anywhere in the world, they orientate themselves towards Mecca. Whether in a mosque, at home, or outdoors, this act of orientation is a prerequisite of prayer. So much so, in fact, that it is easy to take this for granted, without wondering how this came about, and what Muslim—and non-Muslim—scholars thought about it over the centuries. In this episode, we explore the origins, implications and debates about qibla, or sacred orientation, from the verses of the Quran through the inter-religious dialogues of the medieval period and the evidence of early mosque architecture. Nile Green talks to Ari M. Gordon, author of Sacred Orientation in Late Antiquity and Early Islam (Routledge, 2026).

Over the course of the next several months, there will be events that will shine the light on the fact that extraterrestrial life does indeed exist, according to a recent spiritual communication. It will be "a series of events to open the consciousness of those that are ready". While it will be validating for the believers, there will be varying degrees of those who are convinced due to biases or conspiracy theory. New information will be brought forward with a warning to decipher it carefully, creating an abrupt change in our understanding and a "crude awakening". "Orientation is necessary" at this time.

In this episode, Jason explains why onboarding and orientation can shape the entire relationship between the workforce and the project. A poor first experience creates confusion and frustration before the work even begins. Jason walks through what happens when workers arrive without clear parking, signage, restrooms, directions, communication, or a meaningful orientation. He explains how a respectful onboarding system can establish safety expectations, build trust, create connection, and help workers feel like valued members of the project instead of outsiders simply being told where to go. What you'll learn in this episode: Why a worker's first experience on the project can influence their attitude and performance. How clear signage, parking, restrooms, directions, and communication improve onboarding. Why orientation must clearly communicate safety expectations in a way workers can understand. How respectful onboarding helps build trust, participation, quality, safety, and stronger project culture. What kind of first impression is your onboarding process creating for every worker who arrives on your project?   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 20, 2026 is: divulge • dih-VULJ • verb To divulge something, especially secret or private information, is to make it known. // Rather than divulge the baby name we've chosen, we're waiting till the little one arrives to make introductions. See the entry > Examples: “Sun Ra's agent had called, he said. ... The Arkestra was heading out on tour soon, to Europe, and Sonny wanted the three of us to join him. ... After we'd calmed down, Don divulged the hitch: the tour would take us away for the school year's last weeks, meaning we would miss exams and also all the end-of-college parties.” — Michael Lowenthal, Place Envy: Essays in Search of Orientation, 2026 Did you know? Information divulged is typically secret, or known only to insiders, and it isn't usually shouted from the rooftops. But when divulge first entered English in the 15th century, it did so as a synonym of proclaim: divulging involved declaring or announcing something to the public, a duty of town criers from Lizard Point to Dunnet Head. The word's source is the Latin verb vulgare, “to make known,” which traces ultimately back to the Latin noun vulgus, meaning “common people” or “mob.” While nowadays divulge can presumably involve blabbing to the rabble, the word usually implies a more careful and considered approach to sharing sensitive information.

She describes how the program's inquiry-based learning model asks students to work through patient cases from the beginning of PA school, building clinical reasoning, self-directed learning, and collaborative problem-solving skills before they enter rotations.The conversation also explores Wake Forest's leadership focus, including its Emerging Leaders Program pathways in business and law, and the service-oriented experiences that begin during orientation. Sobia connects those experiences to the PA profession's responsibility to understand the social drivers of health and serve patients in context.The episode closes with practical advice for applicants.

The problem with high-performance coaching for high-achieving women? They're already high performers. That's exactly the problem.This episode kicks off something new: a multi-week series Laurie's calling Back to School (of Midlife) — not the pencils-and-Trapper-Keeper kind of back to school, the adult kind. Every week for the next several weeks, she's walking through the frameworks she's built over the years, where they came from, and how she actually uses them with clients.Today's episode is the origin story. Before there was a BEST LIFE™ framework, before Learn/Earn/Yearn, before Curiosity → Clarity → Courage → Confidence, there was a certification — an elite one, one of only 1,100 in the world — and a realization that cracked everything else open.Laurie walks through exactly what that certification taught her (and still uses in every session), and exactly how "she's already a high performer" turns out to be the whole problem, not a strength to lean on harder. She also gets into two decades of living this pattern herself — first in law, then in commercial real estate — before she ever became a coach.What we cover:Why Laurie is kicking off a new podcast series, and why she's leaning all the way into the back-to-school metaphorThe "adulting playbook" — school, job, marriage, kids, promotion, retirement — and the homework she gives you about itWhy she chose Certified High Performance Coaching, and the Brendon Burchard connection that led her thereWhat the CHPC curriculum actually taught her — and why she still uses those skills in every session todayWhy "busyness" is often an avoidance technique, including her own real example of over-boarding on volunteer work and marathon training to avoid being homeThe most important piece her clients kept missing: checking in with themselvesWhy it wasn't a gap in the curriculum — it was just more of the sameThe two decades she spent living this exact pattern herself, in law and then commercial real estateWhat Personal Leadership Development actually means, and why it's not life coaching or executive coaching — it's the umbrella above bothA preview of the entire Back to School series: BEST LIFE™, Learn/Earn/Yearn, Curiosity/Clarity/Courage/Confidence, and an honest look at what's happening with the MastermindThe adult "back to school supply list" — a new notebook, a hall pass, an elective, and office hoursWhy "I just need to work harder" is almost never actually about working harderQuotable moments"You have one life. You need to bring all of those pieces of your life instead of compartmentalizing them.""That feeling of having to become someone different depending on which room you walked into — that's not just a career problem. That's the whole thing I coach on now.""The problem with high performance coaching for high-achieving women is they're already high performers... they're missing the most important piece, which is checking in with themselves.""It wasn't so much a gap in the coaching curriculum. It was just more of the same.""Probably 95% of the time, the statement 'I just need to work harder' usually means I haven't asked myself what I actually want.""We use a busy schedule as an avoidance technique.""It's not the work that's leaving you burned out. It's the requirement to show up as a different person in every different role you're asked to fill."Resources + links mentionedEpisode 183 — "Did You Actually Choose This Life?

Et si une reconversion professionnelle ne commençait pas forcément par une grande décision, mais par une succession de petites étapes ?Dans cet épisode, je vous emmène dans les coulisses du Club des Profs en Reconversion pour faire le bilan de l'année 2025-2026. Cette année, 31 professeures ont rejoint le Club, avec des situations, des envies et des projets très différents : certaines voulaient quitter l'Éducation nationale au plus vite, d'autres avaient besoin de temps pour réfléchir, certaines étaient en arrêt maladie, d'autres avaient déjà un projet professionnel bien avancé.En 3, 6 ou 9 mois, leurs parcours ont pris des directions très différentes : concours de la fonction publique, candidatures et nouveaux emplois, demandes de rupture conventionnelle, création d'entreprise, formations, VAE, enquêtes métiers, rendez-vous avec des professionnels de l'accompagnement… et, pour certaines, des démarches liées à leur santé ou à leur situation administrative.Je vous partage les chiffres et les grandes tendances de cette année, mais surtout les témoignages de plusieurs membres du Club qui racontent ce qui a changé pour elles et où elles en sont aujourd'hui.Parce qu'une reconversion ne ressemble pas toujours à ce qu'on imagine. Parfois, elle consiste à trouver un nouveau métier. Parfois, à préparer son départ. Parfois, à comprendre qu'on a encore besoin de temps. Et parfois, à réaliser que l'on souhaite finalement rester enseignante. Toutes ces étapes peuvent faire partie du chemin.Je vous explique également concrètement comment fonctionne le Club des Profs en Reconversion, mon accompagnement collectif destiné aux enseignant·es qui souhaitent réfléchir à leur avenir professionnel, avancer dans leur projet et surtout ne plus être seul·es face à toutes leurs questions.Les pré-inscriptions pour la prochaine rentrée sont ouvertes : https://forms.gle/m4MJkhLeYjSmioRLASi vous envisagez une reconversion professionnelle en tant que prof, cet épisode vous donnera peut-être une autre vision de ce que l'on peut accomplir… une petite étape après l'autre._____

This week's submitted question is about the Visitor Orientation part of the meeting!

My friend Chris Bissett (lives in Raymond, Alberta Canada, married father of 5, serving in Bishopric) joins us to share his story including: Realizing he is gay before his mission—learning how to balance his faith and his sexuality alone and dealing with the shame. Navigating things in the church that were helpful and some other things that were hurtful “Rage praying” and getting an answer “God was OK with me being gay” Coming out to his wife Becky in the first year of their marriage—wanted to be honest and have a relationship on trust While his wife is very supportive, he recognized he didn't give her a choice, learning that a marriage of love needs to be built on truth (authenticity) and choice. Helpful meeting and getting great advice with Elder Holland early in their marriage Eventually couldn't keep being gay on the “back burner”—needed to come out more openly Taking away the shame—living with confidence How he moved from seeing being gay as a “sacrifice” to moving toward “consecration” and using being himself as a gay member to build Zion His powerful Wayfare Article called “Light in a Watery Darkness, Finding a Way with Consecrated Identity” (see show notes). Chris shares a super insightful story with unique insights and perspectives—all coming from a place of no-shame, integrity, and confidence. I learned so much from Chris. If you are an LGBTQ Latter-day Saint, Chris's story will help you. And Chris's story will help you if you are looking to better understand and support our LGBTQ friends. You are a good man, Chris.

Orientation towards Enlightenment is a keynote talk by Kusaladevi marking both the Buddha's enlightenment over 2,500 years ago and the 30th anniversary of the Nottingham Buddhist Centre. Exploring themes of lineage, connection, and the symbolism of the Vajrasana as a point of orientation in a suffering world. Kusaladevi reflects on how Dharma practice and the life of a Buddhist Centre offer a bridge from disorientation towards the transcendental through the light of the Dharma. Excerpted from the talk entitled Orienting Towards Enlightenment given at the Nottingham Buddhist Centre, 2026. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

Preaching: Mike RothWe live in a world in which things are always changing—certainty, health, relationships, even the version of faith we grew up with. And yet Paul, writing to a community tearing itself apart, lands on three things he insists will outlast everything else: faith, hope, and love. To be clear, these aren't achievements to master or doctrines to defend, but the very shape of a life oriented toward God. In this series, we'll sit with these three ancient, yet lasting gifts and seek to rest deeply into them, even when everything else is stripped away.This week, Mike closes out the series with love—not as a feeling to chase, but as the direction a life keeps turning toward. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 13 and 1 John's claim that God is love, we find that what's actually left standing once the old scaffolding of certainty and dogma comes down is not wreckage, but ground.Pearl Church exists to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love. A primary expression of our sacred story is the weekly sermon. If our sermons inspire you to ponder the sacred, to consider the mystery and love of God, and to live bountifully, would you consider supporting our work?

Send us Fan MailA spouse looks you in the eye and says, “You're not on vacation.” That line can sting, but it can also save you. Mark Boutin joins us to talk about what happens when a high-achieving dad realizes work has quietly taken over the moments that matter most, and what it actually looks like to change course without blowing up your values or your family.Mark shares his path from a long career in accounting and finance to entrepreneurship, including the pressure of building multiple businesses at once and the chaos that followed. We get into the real-life fatherhood side too: raising four kids with a big age gap, keeping family dinner as a daily anchor, and learning patience when the “machine gun of requests” starts the second the little ones wake up. Along the way, we talk sports, resilience, and why kids copy what we do more than what we say.Then we break down Mark's practical coaching tool, the BOOM Morning framework: Body, Others First, Orientation, Meaningful Work. It's a simple morning routine for busy dads and entrepreneurs who want better focus, better health, and better leadership at home, plus realistic baby steps if you feel overwhelmed. If you're chasing “work-life balance,” fighting comparison, or trying to start over at 40 with confidence, this conversation will give you a clearer next move.Subscribe for more honest dad-to-dad conversations, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review to help more parents find the Quarterback Dadcast.@markboutin@The_Legacy_LabSupport the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!  Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes! 

How can a honey bee with a brain smaller than a sesame seed communicate the exact location of food to thousands of nestmates? In this episode of Bee Science with Dewey, Dr. Dewey Caron explores one of the most remarkable discoveries in honey bee biology—the dance language. Beginning with the evolutionary pressures that shaped honey bee communication, Dewey explains why efficient foraging became essential for colonies surviving long northern winters. He describes how scout bees locate profitable nectar, pollen, water, and even potential nest sites before returning to the colony to recruit other foragers through highly structured dances. Listeners will learn the differences between the round dance, sickle dance, and waggle dance, and how each communicates information about distance, direction, and resource quality. Dewey also examines the groundbreaking research of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Karl von Frisch, whose meticulous experiments first decoded the language of bee dancing and forever changed our understanding of insect behavior. Along the way, the discussion explores how honey bees use the sun's position, gravity, sound, odors, and even subtle physiological changes to coordinate colony-level decision making. Dewey also highlights how scientific understanding continues to evolve as new discoveries refine earlier interpretations of bee communication. Whether you're a beginning beekeeper or a lifelong student of honey bee biology, this episode provides an engaging look into one of nature's most sophisticated communication systems and reminds us just how extraordinary a honey bee colony truly is.
