On the wisdom of open awareness and the benefit of the simplest practices in our daily life.  0:00 - Introduction and Guest Welcome 1:57 - Machik Labdron and the Source Code of Life 7:47 - Mahayana and Vajrayana: Differences and Similarities 13:36 - Ground, Path, and Fruition: The Buddhist Path of Liberation 21:41 - Engaging with the Practices of Sky Mind 27:37 - The Paradox of Meditation and External Impact 36:31 - Sky Mind Meditation Practice Partners in life, practice, and parenting, Charlotte Rotterdam and Pieter Oosthuizen draw on decades of dedicated study and practice to share the rich teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and their application to modern life. They've served as faculty at Naropa University, are senior teachers at Tara Mandala Retreat Center founded by Lama Tsultrim Allione, and teach globally. Their recent book, Skymind: The Radical Path of Open Awareness (Shambhala, 2026), highlights the nature of mind teachings of the 11th century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdron and their relevance in our everyday lives. Amid life's relentless challenges, uncertainties, and endless striving, how do we find a sense of ease, clarity, and connection? Skymind offers a way to step back from life's constant push and pull and discover the spaciousness and wholeness that has always been within you. Inspired by the revolutionary teachings of Machig Labdrön, an 11th-century Tibetan yogini who pioneered a radical approach to inner freedom, this book introduces Skymind meditation—a practice that helps you cultivate clarity, compassion, and resilience by resting in the sky-like nature of your mind. Through simple exercises, contemplations, and Machig's powerful verses, you'll be guided to meet life's challenges with courage and radical acceptance. These teachings invite you to embrace every part of your experience—even the emotions and thoughts you'd rather avoid—and discover the freedom that comes from including everything in your awareness. Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, Skymind offers profound insights and practical tools to help you live with authenticity, ease, and a heart as vast as the sky.

Imagine doubling your close rate and cutting your sales cycle in half. That's not a hypothetical. It's exactly what Pieter Leenhouts and his team did at Tax Guard, a Cogency Global company that sells to banks and financial institutions. Pieter walked me through exactly how they pulled it off, and it wasn't magic. It was math, structure, and a relentless focus on the front end of the pipeline.Why Their Sales Cycle Was So Long To Begin WithTax Guard's solution was new to the financial institutions they sold to, so reps had to spend real time educating buyers before those buyers even understood why they needed it.That education requirement, combined with deals that stalled out with the wrong contacts, created a long sales cycle and a lower close rate.Fixing it started with the pipeline itself, not with pushing reps to work harder.Give Every Rep the Right Size Pipeline, Not Just More DealsPieter's team found that around 120 opportunities was the right pipeline size for most of their account executives, though the number flexes based on how efficient a rep is.Instead of leaving reps to self source every opportunity, the team loads a portion of that pipeline for them, so reps spend more time working real opportunities and less time hunting for net new business.Their market of five to ten thousand financial institutions is well defined, which makes it possible to plan pipeline size with real precision instead of guessing.Split the Pipeline: 70 Percent Pre-Handraiser, 30 Percent Post-HandraiserOf those 120 opportunities, about 70 percent sit in the pre-handraiser stage, where reps are still working to connect with people.The remaining 30 percent sit in the post-handraiser stage, where there's already an active, ongoing conversation with the customer.That split keeps reps focused on outreach without starving the deals that are already moving.Marketing and Sales Load the Pipeline TogetherPieter is careful to point out that loading the pipeline isn't a sales-only effort. It's a collaboration between sales leadership and marketing leadership.Marketing helps identify and prioritize which accounts and departments actually fit where Tax Guard's solution applies.That partnership is part of why the team can hand reps a healthier mix of fast cycle and slow cycle opportunities instead of leaving it to chance.Why They Kept AEs on the Full Buyer Journey Instead of Handing Off to BDRsBecause their solution requires ongoing education, Pieter's team decided against using BDRs or SDRs to book appointments and hand off to AEs.The same person a buyer starts talking to needs to stay with them as a trusted advisor through the entire education process.Pieter is clear that this only makes sense because of how complex and unfamiliar their solution is. A more transactional sale can absolutely work with a BDR handoff.The Cadence: 17 Touches Over 70 DaysEach opportunity in the pipeline follows a defined cadence, roughly 17 touches over 70 days, with three to five contacts tied to each account.That structure turns follow-up into a math exercise. Once you know the number of opportunities, steps, and contacts, you know almost exactly how many activities a rep needs to complete each day.The cadence isn't automated. Reps still show up and do the work themselves, which keeps the process personal instead of robotic.Personalization Is What Makes the Math WorkPieter gets five to six hundred pitches a day himself, so he knows exactly what gets ignored: generic, unpersonalized outreach.His team uses AI to gather background information quickly, but the personal touch, referencing where someone went to school or what they care about, still has to come from the rep.That combination of structure and personalization is what actually breaks through the noise instead of just adding to it.How They Catch Reps Who Are Gaming Activity NumbersTo catch reps who rack up huge activity numbers without real substance, like hanging up before voicemail or blasting the same email to everyone, Pieter's team looks past raw activity totals.They review call recordings and email engagement to see whether real conversations are actually happening, not just whether the activity got logged.The goal isn't to catch people doing something wrong. It's to find the reps who are getting real engagement and figure out what they're doing differently so the whole team can replicate it.Weekly and Monthly Rhythms Keep the Team AccountableEvery rep gets a weekly one on one that covers both big strategic issues, like what's happening in the market or with competitors, and specific opportunities that need a plan to close.Once a month, Pieter's team reviews the front end metrics as a group: how many people are in cadence, how many emails are opening, how many real conversations are happening.They also track Net Promoter Score to measure how the sales experience actually felt to the buyer, not just whether a deal closed.Their Tech Stack: Salesforce, Gong, Gong Flows, and DelightedSalesforce is their core CRM, and Pieter says most of what makes it powerful is what gets plugged into it.Gong records and analyzes sales conversations, which lets the team track things like how often pricing objections come up and coach reps faster than they could otherwise.Gong Flows adds structured outreach sequences with AI built in, and Delighted measures NPS so the team can see how the buying experience felt from the customer's side.The Numbers Pieter's Team Watches Every WeekClose rate and pipeline velocity are the two headline numbers Pieter checks first, since they show whether the whole system is working.Underneath those, his team tracks how long deals sit in each of their seven pipeline stages, with alerts when something sits too long.They also watch the quality of the opportunities reps are given and how well each rep prospects into the right people, since strong activity numbers mean nothing if they aren't pointed at the right accounts."Activities create opportunities, opportunities create sales. The only thing we control is our activity level." — Pieter LeenhoutsResourcesConnect with Pieter Leenhouts on LinkedIn.Learn more about Tax Guard, a Cogency Global company.Keep track of your sales activity and boost your results with the Prospect Pro sales tool.Step up your sales game with Sales Mastermind.

Een testament aanpassen, een huis kopen of een erfenis afhandelen, het kan verrassend lang duren, nu de wachttijden bij notarissen flink oplopen. Dat blijkt uit een rondgang van het FD.

Home Coming - Part 4 - More Precious Than Gold - Pieter Weenink (Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast

In deze aflevering van De Interieur Club Zomergasten spreekt Carlein Kieboom, hoofdredacteur van Residence Magazine, met Michelle Jager. Michelle runt samen met haar man Pieter de interieurdesignstudio Even Eleven, die met een team van zes mensen vooral residentiële projecten doet. Ze bestaan ruim zes jaar.Michelle begon haar carrière in de PR. Het keerpunt was de aankoop van een klushuis in 2017: bouwkundig in slechte staat, maar met glas in lood, een erker en een wijk waar ze haar kinderen wilde laten opgroeien. Tijdens die verbouwing tekende ze elke muur met de hand uit. Een avondopleiding, een periode bij RA Studio en een verblijf van een paar maanden in Zuid-Afrika volgden. Daar viel het besluit om voor zichzelf te beginnen.In het gesprek komt aan bod:Waarom Zuid-Afrika niet zichtbaar is in haar projecten, maar wel het denken veranderdeSamen ondernemen met je partner: rolverdeling, directheid en waarom ideeën juist 's avonds ontstaanHoe inspiratie bij haar landt: eerst overprikkeld terug van een beurs, daarna in het bos met de honden de verbanden leggenWaarom ze grotendeels afstapte van moodboards met referentiebeelden en snel naar 3D gaatRitme creëren door vormen te herhalen in tegels, karpet en glas in lood, en weten wanneer je moet stoppenDe rol van vintage en oude bouwmaterialen om een showroomgevoel te voorkomenKopiëren, onbewuste beïnvloeding en waarom modehuizen vaak een stap voorlopen op interieurSelecteren aan de voorkant: vragenlijst, kennismaking en nee zeggen als de klik ontbreektHoe Even Eleven aan de naam kwam en hoe een bestickerde Fiat 500 hun eerste opdrachten opleverdeVoor interieurontwerpers en creatieve ondernemers is dit een gesprek over het bouwen van een studio, het bewaken van eigenheid en het praktisch organiseren van creativiteit.

In his comment, Clement Manyathela argues that News24's admission, via editor-in-chief Adriaan Basson's opinion piece, that it wasn't hard enough on Andrea Johnson and IDAC doesn't go far enough. He says the real problem wasn't insufficient scrutiny but a deliberate, premeditated decision by News24's senior editors to ignore overwhelming evidence against Johnson, pointing to opinion pieces like Pieter du Toit's "The Crucifixion of Andrea Johnson," which he says unfairly likened the commissioners' conduct to a witch hunt despite their professionalism. Clement Manyathela starts his show each weekday on 702 at 9 am taking your calls and voice notes on his Open Line.

gratitude.Nl: Ze was niet alleen.En: She was not alone.Nl: Langzaam maar zeker voelde Sanne haar schaamte wegebben.En: Slowly but surely, Sanne's shame began to ebb away.Nl: Ze begreep dat het belangrijker was om voor haar gezondheid te zorgen dan zich zorgen te maken over wat anderen zouden denken.En: She understood it was more important to take care of her health than to worry about what others might think.Nl: Ze stond oprecht stil bij de woorden van Anne die op een muur waren geschreven: "Hoe heerlijk is het dat niemand ook maar een moment hoeft te wachten voordat hij begint de wereld beetje bij beetje te verbeteren."En: She earnestly reflected on Anne's words written on a wall: "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world little by little."Nl: Sanne voelde zich sterker.En: Sanne felt stronger.Nl: Ze was klaar om verder te gaan.En: She was ready to move on.Nl: Zonder angst voor wat mensen van haar asthma zouden denken, gaf ze Pieter een knikje en vervolgden ze hun weg.En: Without fear of what people would think of her asthma, she gave Pieter a nod and they continued on their way.Nl: De zon scheen nog steeds helder terwijl ze naar buiten liepen.En: The sun was still shining brightly as they walked outside.Nl: En hoewel de wereld soms benauwend voelde, wist Sanne dat ze de kracht had om te ademen, om te leven, precies zoals ze was.En: And although the world sometimes felt suffocating, Sanne knew she had the strength to breathe, to live, just as she was.

carefully opened the door to the koffiebranderij (coffee roastery).Nl: Een golf van rijke, aardse aroma's begroette hem.En: A wave of rich, earthy aromas greeted him.Nl: De ruimte was klein maar gezellig, gevuld met de geur van vers geroosterde koffiebonen die als een warme omhelzing aanvoelde.En: The space was small but cozy, filled with the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans that felt like a warm embrace.Nl: Aan de ene kant stonden rijen elegante koffiemachines en accessoires, terwijl aan de andere kant grote juten zakken koffiebonen lagen.En: On one side were rows of elegant coffee machines and accessories, while on the other lay large burlap sacks of coffee beans.Nl: Bram stond voor de uitdaging om een uniek cadeau te vinden voor Sanne, zijn praktische en ondanks alles zeer dierbare vriendin.En: Bram faced the challenge of finding a unique gift for Sanne, his practical and nevertheless very dear friend.Nl: Vandaag was geen speciale feestdag, maar toch wilde Bram

make the right choice."Nl: Pieter knikte begrijpend.En: Pieter nodded understandingly.Nl: "Je wilt iets dat haar echt laat zien hoe veel haar vriendschap voor je betekent.En: "You want something that really shows how much her friendship means to you.Nl: Heb je weleens gedacht aan een zeldzame koffieblend gecombineerd met iets handgemaakt?"En: Have you ever thought about a rare coffee blend combined with something handmade?"Nl: Bram dacht even na, zijn ogen afdwalen naar de handgemaakte mokken die prachtig op een plank boven een rek met koffiezakken stonden.En: Bram thought for a moment, his eyes wandering to the handmade mugs that were beautifully displayed on a shelf above a rack of coffee bags.Nl: "Misschien heb je gelijk," zei hij langzaam, nog steeds twijfelend.En: "Maybe you're right," he said slowly, still doubtful.Nl: Pieter kwam dichterbij en wees op een blend die speciaal uit Ethiopië kwam.En: Pieter came closer and pointed to a blend that was specially from Ethiopië (Ethiopia).Nl: "Deze is zeer uniek, met notige aroma's en een vleugje fruit.En: "This one is very unique, with nutty aromas and a hint of fruit.Nl: En deze mokken worden lokaal gemaakt en zijn allemaal verschillend."En: And these mugs are locally made and all different."Nl: Ondanks zijn twijfels besloot Bram Pieter te vertrouwen.En: Despite his doubts, Bram decided to trust Pieter.Nl: Hij

its irregular but charming pattern.Nl: De zon was inmiddels laag aan de hemel toen Bram het kadopapier om de mok en koffie wikkelde.En: The sun was now low in the sky as Bram wrapped the mug and coffee in gift paper.Nl: Met een knoop in zijn maag bood hij Sanne het cadeau aan.En: With a knot in his stomach, he offered Sanne the gift.Nl: "Ik hoop dat je het leuk vindt," zei hij, zijn onzekerheid camouflerend met een zwakke glimlach.En: "I hope you like it," he said, camouflaging his uncertainty with a weak smile.Nl: Sanne opende het pakket met nieuwsgierigheid.En: Sanne opened the package with curiosity.Nl: Haar ogen lichtten op bij het zien van de mok en ze inhaleerde diep de geur van de koffiebonen.En: Her eyes lit up at the sight of the mug, and she inhaled deeply the scent

De Verenigde Staten voeren urenlange luchtaanvallen uit op doelen in Iran om de Iraanse controle over de Straat van Hormuz te verzwakken. Iran reageert met drone-aanvallen op Amerikaanse bases in de regio en zegt de belangrijke zeestraat te hebben gesloten, terwijl de VS dat ontkent maar rederijen en verzekeraars de route feitelijk al mijden. Midden-Oosten-correspondent Tara Kenkhuis schetst hoe beide partijen blijven bombarderen en de kans op de-escalatie verder afneemt. Ondertussen houdt de Nederlandse MKB-ondernemer de hand op de knip, blijkt uit het rapport Branche Inzicht 2026 van brancheorganisatie SRA. De omzet stijgt met ruim 6%, maar de winst blijft achter met 3,4% doordat inkoop- en personeelskosten oplopen, waardoor er minder ruimte is om te investeren. Bestuurslid en accountant Pieter van der Kwaak wijst op onzekerheden rond stikstof, netcongestie en regeldruk, en benadrukt dat voorspelbaar beleid nodig is om ondernemers weer tot investeren te bewegen. Het WK Voetbal is de laatste week ingegaan. Inmiddels zitten er nog maar vier ploegen in het toernooi. Volgende week wordt duidelijk of Frankrijk, Spanje, Argentinië of Engeland wereldkampioen wordt. Aan kop van de topscorers-lijst staan spelers Mbappé en Messi. BNR's sportverslaggever Jaap de Groot vertelt wat dit doet met hun transferwaarde.

Pieter kisses a framed picture of his elderly parents every night. It’s been many years since he was last with them. As a young adult, when he became a follower of Jesus, his family and community pressured him to give up his newfound belief. When he didn’t, his parents disowned him. “In the Bible, God promised He’d help His children in difficult times, and I believed Him,” Pieter said. “Choosing to follow Him brought suffering, but He has helped me endure.” Pieter has the assurance from God that He keeps His word, so Pieter is able to trustingly act on God’s promises. We read in Genesis that Joseph, at the end of his life, was also confident in the promises of God. He told his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” (Genesis 50:24). Joseph was sure that God would keep His promise to take His people to Canaan. So he instructed the Israelites, “You must carry my bones up from [Egypt]” (v. 25). Four hundred years later, during the exodus from Egypt, “Moses took the bones of Joseph with him” (Exodus 13:19). Eventually, “Joseph’s bones, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem [in Canaan]” (Joshua 24:32). Let’s follow Joseph’s example of faith (Hebrews 11:22), showing our faith in God’s promises by acting on them.

freedom.Nl: In de supermarkt van Amersfoort, tussen de vele rekken, begon de zoektocht naar het perfecte picknicketen.En: In the Amersfoort supermarket, among the many shelves, the search for the

Er draait iets rondom de oorlog in Oekraïne: een 'vibe shift' die tot ongemak leidt in Rusland. Hoe reageren gewone Russen en president Poetin op het onmiskenbare succes van Oekraïne op het slagveld en ver daarbuiten? Journalist Eva Hartog peilt het psychologische effect van het binnendringen van de oorlog tot ver in Rusland. In Historische Woorden kondigt de beoogde Britse premier Andy Burnham een koerswijziging aan in de manier waarop zijn land wordt bestuurd. Casper Thomas en Rutger van der Hoeven wegen zijn kansen op succes af. En journalist Pieter van Os legt uit waarom politiek en voetbal altijd met elkaar verbonden zijn. Van de Voetbaloorlog tussen El Salvador en Honduras tot de VS, dat een land ontvangt (Iran) waarmee het in oorlog is: de grootste sport ter wereld dringt altijd de geopolitiek binnen – of in elk geval onze verbeelding daarvan. Een gesprek over landen uit het mondiale Zuiden die Europeanen uit het toernooi knikkeren, de voetbalhaat van de MAGA-Amerikaan en de dreigende amerikanisering van het voetbal.

What's the big deal about celibate partnerships?!Pieter Valk wrote an article in 2023 with a significant critique on celibate partnerships, but in 2026 he made significant revisions with an expanded imagination for the possibility and goodness that these kinds of relationships can play for Christians who are looking to live chaste lives within relationships of belonging and mutual care.If you are new to the conversation, here is a brief description: celibate partnerships are long-term committed relationships between two people (typically of the same sex) who regard each other as their primary life partner, yet, unlike marriage, their relationship is not open to sexual activity.The validity and shape of these relationships have been a prominent conversation and debate within the Side B community, so we're grateful for the opportunity to read Pieter Valk's thoughts and offer some of our own. We'd love to hear what you think after you give a listen! Here's a few questions to stir your thinking:Do you think conservative churches can embrace the possibility of celibate partnerships based on Pieter's accommodation argument? or would they be better suited to develop an expanded imagination for friendship and spiritual siblinghood?How do you think different forms of partnerships compete or complement investments into serving community or other facets of pursuing God?What are the practical needs that people have, regardless of whether they are celibate or not, that need to be seriously considered?References:A thoughtful article by our friend Pieter Valk: https://equipyourcommunity.org/celibate-partnerships/Time Stamps:00:00 Kinship Lab #4 - Celibate Partnerships01:19 Revoice Buzz02:38 Why This Episode07:08 Defining Celibate Partnership10:29 Valk's Argument Overview15:43 Tapestry of Kinship19:32 Strengths of the Article24:17 Core Critiques33:18 Romance and Vocation Boundaries36:49 Biblical Examples and Categories42:33 (Mis)Using Love Bible Verses and Inspiration for Partnership46:35 Not Marriage Lite55:00 Hot Take on Growth01:00:28 Why Marriage Is Unique01:05:23 Explaining Celibate Partnerships Publicly01:10:36 Distinctions, Research, and Pastoral Anxiety01:16:16 Constructive Feedback Wishlist Get full access to New Kinship at newkinship.substack.com/subscribe

When farmers think about improving performance, they typically focus on genetics, nutrition, reproduction, or ventilation. Lighting rarely makes the list.But what if one of the most overlooked management tools on a farm is also one of the most influential?In this episode of the AgCulture Podcast, Paul sits down with Pieter Hanssen, Global Head of Dairy & Business Development at HATO Lighting, to explore how lighting affects animal behavior, welfare, and performance across livestock systems. Drawing from decades of experience in poultry and livestock facilities around the world, Pieter explains why light should be viewed as a critical part of the animal's environment—not simply a tool that helps people see.The conversation explores circadian rhythms, animal behavior, environmental management, and lessons learned from over 50,000 livestock lighting installations globally. Pieter shares how HATO built its reputation in the poultry industry and why those lessons are now being applied to dairy, swine, and other livestock sectors.If you've never thought of lighting as a management tool, this episode may completely change how you look at your barns.MEET THE GUESTPieter HanssenPieter Hanssen serves as Global Head of Dairy & Business Development for Europe, the United States, and Canada at HATO Lighting, one of the world's leading livestock lighting companies.Originally from the Netherlands, Pieter began his career as an electrician before entering the livestock industry in 2018.

Caragh Thuring talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Thuring, who was born in Brussels in 1972 and has lived in the UK since 1973 makes paintings that present fragments of images, patterns and abstraction in compositions that often upend the conventions of her medium, while reaffirming its unique descriptive and poetic powers. With motifs that appear and often reappear in morphing forms and combinations, alluding to specific moments in her life, to film or art history, her paintings are in flux, both in their structure and spatial arrangements and in their meaning. They are propositions that cannot easily be resolved or reduced to simple or convenient narrative yet are far from unfocused or bloodless; rather, they arrest us and pull us deep into their mysteries, rewarding us as we spend more time with them, and return to them. She reflects on her interest in forms of slippage across various art forms, the role of drawing in her work, and her admiration of different forms of making, especially when there is a twist in how they are realised. She discusses her early engagement with the paintings of Otto Dix, the delicacy in the handling of Vija Celmins, the awkwardness in the works of Pieter de Hooch and the wildness of René Daniëls. She reflects on her journeys into volcanoes, metaphorically and literally, and on listening to Bach in her studio. Plus, she gives insight into life in the studio, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Caragh Thuring, Thomas Dane Gallery, London, until 19 September Hosted on Acast.
