If year-end fundraising feels like an all-gas-no-brakes sprint, this Working Session is your moment to regroup, refocus, and rally your strongest allies. We brought in fundraising expert and author Rhea Wong for a rapid-fire strategy session on two mission-critical moves: activating your board before December 31 and turning year-end gifts, signals, and conversations into a predictable 2026 pipeline — in under 30 minutes.Rhea walks us through her signature approach to board engagement and donor outreach: one rooted in clarity, specificity, and creating micro-yes moments that move relationships forward. You'll learn how to give board members turnkey actions they'll actually complete, how to structure two-call closes for warm prospects, and how to use January to set up a smarter, stronger pipeline for the entire year.Top 3 Takeaways:Your Board Is Your Force Multiplier: Stop sending blanket emails. Start giving individuals clear, specific, low-friction tasks — from making their own gift to nudging warm contacts to posting on LinkedIn. Activated intentionally, your board becomes your most powerful surface-area expander.December Is for Decisions: Rhea breaks down her two-step outreach process — the R for R.O. (Reason for Reaching Out), the alignment call, the opportunity call, and the art of making a clear ask and then staying quiet. January Is Your Pipeline Launchpad: Retention workflows, short donor surveys, micro-engagement signals, and a simple “schedule time with me” link in your email signature can dramatically increase donor conversations. Plus her favorite January homework: donor interviews that build your 2026 avatar and deepen relationships with zero solicitation pressure.This episode is packed with low-lift, high-impact tactics to help you close strong this year — and build a donor pipeline that carries you confidently into the next.Welcome back to Working Sessions: hands-on, clarity-filled conversations designed to help you move real work forward inside your organization.Let's get to work.Episode Highlights: Four Quick Board Actions for Year-End Fundraising (00:58)Getting Your Nonprofit and Board Members on LinkedIn (03:39)Making Board Engagement Fun & Effective (04:01)Removing Friction: Scripts, Emails & Turnkey Tasks (05:08)How to Move Unengaged Board Members to Action (05:39)December is for Decisions: Triage Your Donor List (08:08) The Two-Call Strategy for Major Gift Closes (09:10)0:12:06 – Handling Objections & Building Consent at Every StepWhat to Do in January: Retention & Stewardship (14:25)Using Surveys & Engagement Data to Build Your Pipeline (15:16) Hot Prospect Lists & Calendar Link Pro Tips (17:43)Donor Interviews: Building Avatars & Deepening Relationships (18:15)Final Reflections, Resources, and Closing (19:27) Episode Shownotes: www.weareforgood.com/episode/665//Join the We Are For Good Community—completely free.Join fellow changemakers, share takeaways from this working session, and keep collaborating in a space built for connection, inspiration, and real impact: www.weareforgoodcommunity.com Say hi

Lee breaks down the psychology of a first meeting, why “discovery” is killing your deals, and how high-performing sales reps differentiate themselves without dropping price.

You'll learn: ● Why closing isn't your problem: opening is ● How to transform discovery into a consultation ● The questions that pull emotion (and real urgency) out of prospects ● Why personalisation drives 82% of executive meetings ● How to create memorable stories that differentiate your solution ● The simple test that tells you whether a deal is real ● The exact line to revive stalled deals (“I'm confused…”) Lee also shares insights from his bestselling book The First Meeting Differentiator and gives away tactical frameworks you can implement on your NEXT call.

Plant conservation comes in many forms. Today we explore a plant conservation pipeline that starts with propagation and continues through to reintroducing rare plants back into the wild. Conservation Collections Manager for the Desert Botanical Gardens Steve Blackwell takes us behind the scenes of the Garden's living collection, where rare, threatened, and endangered species are collected, propagated, and carefully curated for both research and recovery efforts.

Coming Down the Pipe... [0:00] - The intro for Season 21 of The Pipeline Show [1:15] - Guy begins the week with News and Notes from around the CHL, USHL and NCAA plus the guest list. [18:29] - Jimmy Connelly from USCHO is back to talk NCAA hockey. We'll begin by discussing Hockey East and if there is a team that is considered THE team to beat as no one seems able to stake that claim. Canada will have lots of NCAA content at the U20 WJC. How are some of the former CHL players doing as college freshmen? And more! [50:00] - Derek Neumeier is a scout with McKeen's Hockey and he checks in today with his reports on a 6-pack of players eligible for the 2026 NHL Draft. Alberts Smits, Ilia Morozov, Jaxon Cover, Elton Hermansson, Maddox Dagenais and Giorgos Pantelas with an extra curve ball thrown in at the end of the segment too.
Successful games not only have a strong creative vision but are also highly acclaimed by players; this integration of player insights occurs throughout the entire development cycle and takes different forms.In this talk, we map out lightweight, well-timed user experience research (UXR) activities into a production pipeline that doesn't slow things down, and in fact de-risks development and improves outcomes.
Send us a textIn this special format-breaking episode of the Being An Engineer podcast, Aaron and Brad sit down together—no guest, no script—to talk through an issue almost every engineer has bumped into at some point: the slow erosion of professional communication.The conversation starts with a LinkedIn post Brad wrote after experiencing repeated ghosting during his job search—even after multi-hour onsite interviews and commitments from hiring managers. That sparks a broader discussion about the shifting expectations around communication in today's workforce, how different generations approach feedback and follow-through, and what's driving the breakdown of mutual respect between candidates, companies, vendors, and customers.Aaron shares stories from his 16 years running Pipeline Design & Engineering, including how silence from prospective clients affects small engineering firms and why reciprocity is essential for trust in any business relationship. The two also talk openly about dealing with ambiguity, stress, and the pressure for instant answers in a world where patience is becoming rare.This episode explores:· Why ghosting is becoming normalized—and why it shouldn't be· How feedback and clarity can drastically change hiring experiences· The role of generational differences in communication styles· How ambiguity affects engineers and leaders at every level· Practical frameworks for reducing stress and strengthening trust· Why “say what you're going to do, then do it” still matters· A challenge to listeners to help rebuild professional respect, one small action at a timeAaron and Brad wrap up with a call to action: if you're ever in a position to choose—whether selecting candidates, vendors, or partners—take the minute to close the loop. Be the change you want to see in the industry.Let us know what you think of this new conversational format, what topics you'd like us to tackle next, or whether we should stick to the classic interview style.

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is launching a new call under the EIT Higher Education Initiative to boost STEM education and shape Europe's future workforce. For the first time, the call will also strengthen cooperation between its Knowledge and Innovation Communities and the European Universities alliances. The 2025 EIT Higher Education Initiative's call for proposals will strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurship capacity of Europe's STEM talent pipeline, contributing to the EU Union of Skills, in particular to the STEM Education Strategic Plan. It will train 200 000 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students, academics, and non-academic staff in innovation, entrepreneurship, and intellectual property management by 2028. With a total budget of up to €70 million and up to €2 million per selected project over 24 months (2026-2028), it is the largest call under this initiative so far. It will strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship in STEM fields, while also inviting the European Universities Alliances to deepen their collaboration with Europe's largest innovation ecosystem. The EIT Higher Education Initiative strengthens Europe's innovation capacity by helping universities work with industry, develop talent, and support startups - already empowering over 500 HEIs, 118,000 learners, and 2,000 ventures. €70 million to strengthen capacity of Europe's STEM talent pipeline Roxana Mînzatu, Executive Vice-President for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and Preparedness, said 'Europe's future depends on people - on the skills, creativity, and resilience of our students, academic staff, and researchers. With this new call, we are investing directly in them, empowering universities to equip the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs with the future-ready skills Europe needs. By advancing our Union of Skills and the EU's STEM Education Strategic Plan, we are turning Europe's talent into our greatest strategic advantage.' Ekaterina Zaharieva, Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, said 'Europe's universities have the potential to be powerful engines of innovation, helping students and researchers turn ideas into ventures that shape our future. Focused on the early stages of the innovation journey, this programme supports them in translating knowledge into real impact. With its strong emphasis on STEM, it contributes to the Startup and Scaleup Strategy and strengthens Europe's ability to scale breakthrough ideas.' Martin Kern, EIT Director, said 'Europe's future competitiveness depends on our ability to turn knowledge into impact. We want to strengthen the bridge between universities, business, and research empowering STEM talent and institutions to translate ideas into new solutions, which lead to new companies and jobs. By investing in skills and partnerships, the EIT is ensuring that Europe remains at the forefront of innovation and entrepreneurship.' Consortia of higher education institutions, businesses, research institutes, public bodies and other non-academic organisations are encouraged to prepare their applications by consulting the full call text and connecting with potential partners through a matchmaking platform. A new interactive guide will help applicants check their eligibility and readiness to apply. Info sessions in December 2025 and January 2026 will provide practical guidance on the process, project focus areas, and collaboration opportunities (information will be available here). Consortia can submit their applications until 4 March 2026, 17:00 CET, with the selected projects to be announced later in 2026.

Ottawa and Alberta have a new energy MOU—but will a pipeline actually get built? BC's premier is suddenly shifting his stance, yet he still wants an oil-tanker ban. So what's the point of a pipeline? Meanwhile, BC First Nations have already voted no. Will PM Mark Carney let them veto the entire project? What policies will get Canada's economy moving again? No one seems to have a plan. Join me and my guests Catherine Swift from the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada, and Chris Bloomer from the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association.
In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview the legendary sales expert and bestselling author Jeb Blount. Jeb shares stories from his upbringing in small-town Georgia, where being the smallest kid in school taught him grit, hustle, and the relentless work ethic that would later define his career. He talks about finding confidence through public speaking, his early ambition to become a lawyer, and the surprising moment—thanks to “Rudy” himself—that pushed him to write his first book and eventually build Sales Gravy into a powerhouse sales training company.Jeb also breaks down how elite performance in sales mirrors elite athletics, why founders must embrace selling before they can scale, and how persistence—not perfection—is the real engine behind long-term success. From cold calling alongside his clients to the evolution of Sales Gravy's earliest customers, he offers a candid look at the mindset and habits that sustain high-impact sales careers.

The UN children's agency is calling for urgent action to protect kids in Sudan. Warning in a new report, millions of children are in dire need of life-saving aid.And: A position-defining vote, or a political stunt? Conservatives put forward a non-binding motion on Ottawa's pipeline agreement with Alberta. In an interview with CBC News on Sunday, Poilievre said it was designed to force Prime Minister Mark Carney to prove to Canadians he's serious about building a pipeline. Liberals say it's a waste of time, and they are rejecting it as a cynical ploy to divide them.Also: The Department of National Defence is looking to recruit hundreds of thousands of reservists. It's the most ambitious revamping of the Canadian forces since the Cold War. The question is — how will they pull it off when they're struggling to recruit, feed, clothe and equip the members they already have?Plus: Canada's ambassador to US steps down, dozens of Indigenous cultural items back on Canadian soil, Israel debates conscription for ultra orthodox, and more.
As hundreds of First Nations leaders gathered last week in Ottawa for their annual December meeting, the federal-provincial memorandum of understanding for a new pipeline to Asian markets was high on the agenda. The Assembly of First Nations chiefs voted unanimously on Tuesday to demand the withdrawal of the deal and expressed full support for First Nations on the British Columbia coast strongly opposing the initiative. Anna Johnston is a lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law and author of a brief on the legal and historical risk of a Northwest coast pipeline. management. We speak with her about the MOU and the risks of pursuing a new pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast.

Christopher Ragan, economics professor at McGill's Max Bell School of Public Policy, examines how well the Alberta-Ottawa memorandum of understanding balances pipeline development with environmental protection. He analyzes whether the deal—featuring carbon capture investment, enhanced industrial carbon pricing, and a new pipeline to Asian markets—will help or hinder Canada's emission targets.

“I don't trust the government of Canada,” warns engineer and energy expert Gwyn Morgan. With the new Alberta-Ottawa Memorandum of Understanding, which includes a new pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast, Canadians are being promised a brighter energy future—but is it real, or just hype? Morgan breaks down how skyrocketing carbon costs, political uncertainty, First Nations opposition, and shifting U.S. energy policies are putting Canada's growth at risk. Who's really standing in the way of our energy sector and what can we do to protect Canada's future?

Andrew Scheer, Conservative House Leader; The Front Bench with: Brian Gallant, Kory Teneycke, Tom Mulcair and Robert Benzie; Mike Le Couteur, CTV News.
The Conservatives are looking to magnify a potential rift in Liberal caucus on Tuesday, with a motion that would force MPs to show their support for a new oil pipeline to B.C. and changes to the North Coast tanker ban. Andrew Scheer tells Power & Politics his party is putting forward the motion because 'Canadians deserve clarity,' and accuses Prime Minister Mark Carney of delivering a different message to Alberta than other parts of the country. Plus, Catherine Abreu explains why she was one of two members who resigned from Canada's Net-Zero Advisory Body last week, saying the Carney government 'at no point' sought its advice on the oil and gas projects it's supporting.
Listen to the premier of B.C., or the CBC, or the Association of First Nations and you'd think that Indigenous groups on the West Coast are determined to stop a new oil pipeline from Alberta. As MP Ellis Ross, former chief councillor of the Haisla Nation near Kitimat, tells Brian, a lot of First Nations are open to the opportunity for resource development to help them break dependency on Ottawa and find prosperity for their people. He also talks about how U.S. anti-oil groups are exploiting First Nations by offering them much-needed funding in exchange for backing their activist campaigns — like the widely quoted “Coastal First Nations” group that doesn't even represent the area's First Nations.

We disagree on if the Pipeline from Alberta to coast will get done or just more performative jugglery Oil does seems to be booming from boots on the ground reports, but how will it get where it's going in the future is the question. Now with land claims in BC and UNDRIP on fire, ONEBC is taking the heat with the new doc 'Making A Killing'. The Beast won't let this one go. The two tier system in Canada and the West is becoming more visible. Gates buys land and makes Paradise City - we will see. Meanwhile the UK buys homes off seniors for the immigrants. EU is after Musk, the free speech battle is far from over and civil war may happen before that ends. Who is really going to benefit from the Algoma layoffs? Are YouTube and Substack just honeypots now. Is YT just going to ramp it up with Gemini now running algos and censorship? Today on World AIDS day...... you won't believe. The New Republican Movement in Ireland is pulling no punches. Maybe this is what it will take? to jolt people out of slumber....
