I wanted to have Yasmina on the show to learn more about Acumen's inspiring work, unpack her experiences working at the forefront of this incredible movement and see what lessons we can find to improve our own mission-driven efforts. As you'll see in the episode, Yasmina is quite a passionate and inspiring leader and has a wealth of knowledge about what works and what doesn't when it comes to trying to solve big issues. Our conversation left me wanting to drop everything and join the team at Acumen.

"I would encourage philanthropists to ask the question, ‘How is your philanthropy unlocking capital?'” Over the last 10 years, 1billion people have gained access to energy for the first time from solar lighting and home systems. 30% of those people were provided energy by companies that Acumen invested in. Working across climate resilient agriculture, off grid energy access, workforce development, education, minority founded companies, healthcare access, financial inclusion and entrepreneurial solutions for forcibly displaced people, all while applying a gender lens across each investment strategy, Acumen are impact market leaders in solving problems of poverty at scale across the globe.

Her commitment to nurturing social contexts that facilitate the engagement and growth of children with disabilities shines through as she retells experiences that reshaped her professional trajectory. Leveraging her background as an occupational therapist, Savitha passionately argues for a system-wide approach, where therapists go beyond addressing motor skills to facilitate comprehensive participation and inclusion within educational settings—making her a vital voice in the call for an educational paradigm shift. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/WDLWvC8bUiQyl5cXpSDydSh9ag4Key Takeaways:Occupational therapy can play a significant role in inclusive education, especially when focusing on social contexts.True social inclusion cannot be separated from academic inclusion, as interpersonal relationships entail community participation within an educational environment.Participation specialists, a role occupational therapists can embody, actively work against exclusion and for authentic inclusion in education.Utilizing occupational therapists as supplementary services in schools can open pathways for more effective universal design learning and inclusive practices.Hands-on examples demonstrate the potential impact of occupational therapy beyond traditional applications, enhancing engagement for students with extensive support needs in general education.Resources:Inclusive Occupations: https://pod.link/15400741358 Ways Your School Might Be Doing Inclusion Wrong: https://mcie.org/think-inclusive/8-ways-your-school-might-be-doing-inclusion-wrong/Thank you to our sponsor for this episode, the Autism Society: https://autismsociety.org/MCIE: https://www.mcie.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Insp. Paul Rinkoff was known to Jewish leaders in Toronto before Oct. 7, 2023 for his diplomatic, low-key approach to establishing good relationships between the Toronto police and the Jewish community. But since the Hamas attack on Israel last Thanksgiving, Rinkoff has been thrust into the very public spotlight–as the highest profile Jewish officer in charge of the police force's community partnerships and engagement unit. While Rinkoff also oversees police outreach to Toronto's other ethnic and racialized groups, including Palestinians and Muslims, what's happened since Oct. 7 is obviously deeply personal- he's also co-chair of the Jewish consultative committee for the police. The veteran officer was born to a Jewish family from England, raised in St. Catharines, Ont. where his parents are still active in the Niagara Jewish community, he reads Hebrew, he went on Birthright, he's visited Auschwitz, and is a proud alumnus of the Chidon Hatanach, the National Bible Contest for Jewish students. Rinkoff, 44, says the Toronto police have had to manage over 340 protest rallies since Oct. 7, including last week's targeting of the Mount Sinai Hospital, plus investigate an unprecedented number of hate crimes and graffiti, resulting in over 54 arrests and 117 charges to date. Rinkoff recently took The CJN Daily host Ellin Bessner on a tour of one of the two Toronto police command posts erected in Jewish areas and then shared what it has been like for him to be the Jewish point person during this fraught, historic time. What we talked about: Watch more about Inspector Paul Rinkoff and his advice for the Jewish community on safety in this webinar by UJA Federation Toronto's Real Estate Division from Dec. 2023. He appears at 29:00 Watch an upcoming live seminar from Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw speaking to B'nai Brith on Feb. 29, 2024.

Through their worldwide programs, Fortune 500 partnerships and their annual Workplace Summit conference, they help LGBTQ people thrive and support organizations creating a culture of belonging for all. In celebration of Pride Month, the Lead With Your Brand!™ Podcast has partnered with Out & Equal. Each week in June, we've featured an out leader each with an amazing career story to share. In addition, we've assembled an entire collection of shows with LGBTQ+ guests from the past three seasons, including two special roundtable episodes where we explore issues around the trans experience and intersectionality of race and LGBTQ+ in the workplace. The team at Out & Equal has created free downloadable discussion guides, so we encourage you to use the podcast as a virtual “book club” with your ERG or group of friends. Listen to the episodes, download the discussion guides and schedule your group discussion! Check out www.leadwithyourbrand.com/pride for more information. Happy Pride!

It goes without saying that government and public services have changed substantially in the past decade. So too have the demands on public sector leaders, who are navigating their organisations through a period of unprecedented change required to meet rising demand and increased complexity of demand – all against a challenging backdrop of austerity, the COVID-19 crisis, demographic changes and what is arguably the big one – climate change. Then, of course, there's the impact of technology on the way we work, how organisations deliver services and how citizens expect to interact with those services. This changing and challenging landscape raises questions around the skills leaders of public sector organisations need – and how these skills are shifting, which is what we talk about in this podcast. Discussing this in more detail are a trio of individuals who combine an understanding of executive leadership excellence and the skills required to successfully lead organisations – from both academic and public sector delivery viewpoints. Ioanna Rossi is Strategy and Partnerships Officer at the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and Lecturer on sustainable and ethical environmental management at Ravensbourne University London. Andy Cook is Ravensbourne's Vice Chancellor, and Paul Sternberg is Director of Postgraduate Studies and Principal Research Fellow at Ravensbourne. Key talking points from this podcast include: The evolution of leadership skills across the public sector – and any gaps that exist The impact major events such as COVID-19 and the climate emergency have had on leadership Why public sector leadership skills need to be aligned with sectors including the third sector The ‘power skills' needed by today's leaders The measures leaders can take to ensure they have the necessary skills As discussed in the podcast, Ravensbourne University London and Agilisys have launched a strategic partnership to design and deliver a high-level executive programme for senior leaders across the public sector. We are seeking your views on this programme and would welcome your views on how new approaches to public sector leadership and development can be supported. The questionnaire takes no longer than 5 minutes to complete and can be found here.
