Send us a textA poll shock, a policy gamble, a courtroom reckoning, and a boundary that saves a life this episode traces how power, data, culture, and healing collide. We open with a blunt read on fresh numbers putting Nigel Farage within striking distance and ask the tougher question: when the main parties feel unmoored, how do we vote with integrity rather than despair? That thread pulls straight into Keir Starmer's renewed digital ID push. We unpack the Tony Blair Institute's influence, the risks of centralising identity, and why “digital by default” without ironclad security and strict limits is a civil liberties problem, not a modernisation plan.The data story gets painfully real. Cyber attacks have moved from headlines to homes, taking down retailers and even a nursery targeted with stolen images and records. We talk practical defence password managers, multi‑factor authentication, data minimisation and call for sharper laws that fit the crime, especially when perpetrators operate within the UK. Accountability shows up in culture too. Noel Clarke's failed libel suit against The Guardian leaves a £3m cost order and a clearer message: credible reporting and survivor testimony can stand in court, and industry gatekeepers must stop waiting for the courts to do the safeguarding they should have led.Not everything is bleak. The Skims x Nike collaboration is a live case study in strategic branding: knowing your value, choosing partners that amplify it, and letting consistent delivery turn into reputation that travels without you. And then there's the personal work. We share the reality of going no contact with a narcissistic parent after a traumatic birth a choice framed not by bitterness but by the pursuit of peace, therapy, and a safe, joyful home for a child. Boundaries, like encryption, are protective by design.If you're here for smart political analysis, digital privacy insight, culture with a backbone, and honest talk about healing, you're in the right place. Listen, reflect, and tell us where you draw your own lines on data, on votes, on family. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more listeners find the conversation.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/ Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star Stationary Company: Sistah Scribble Instagram: @sistahscribble Website: www.sistahscribble.com

Dedication: This episode is dedicated to the students, families, and educators of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We honor their immense courage and resilience in the face of the tragic school shooting that occurred in August 2025, and their profound choice to walk in their theme: "A future filled with hope."If you wish to support the victims and their families, please consider donating to the official fund here: https://secure.myvanco.com/L-ZM37/campaign/C-1619X.Key TakeawaysHope as an Action: We discuss how hope is not a passive wish, but a defiant and active choice—a powerful act of resistance in the face of tragedy.Bravery is Vulnerability: We redefine bravery, moving away from the idea of being unafraid to embracing vulnerability, honesty, and community as core components of courageous leadership.Rest is Resistance: We explore how intentional rest and self-care are essential forms of resistance against systemic fatigue.Modeling Humanity: We discuss the importance of educators modeling humanity and resilience for their students, showing them that it's okay to not be okay, as long as we continue to show up.Reflection QuestionsFor Teachers: What is one small, tangible act of rest you can commit to this week that will help you sustain your energy for the work? How can you become a gentle observer of yourself this week?For Instructional Coaches & School Leaders: How are you modeling care and sustainability for your team? What is one thing you can take off their plate this week to ease the burden?For Everyone: What is one thing that brings you a quiet, reflective joy?

In this episode of the Crisis Lab Podcast, host Kyle King breaks down the professional development paradox in emergency management. As challenges grow more complex and interdependent, senior leaders are often stuck between outdated training models and increasing demands. Many find that after 15 years, professional growth slows, leaving them intellectually stranded. Kyle highlights the false choice between tactical training and generic leadership courses, and argues for a third path: intellectual infrastructure that connects seasoned professionals across fields. Drawing from research and real-world conversations, he challenges listeners to rethink how expertise evolves and why staying curious is essential. Show Highlights [00:53] Training cycles vs fast-moving demands [01:40] Fundamentals and cross-sector challenges [02:05] After-action reviews and slow adaptation [03:14] Climate, cyber, and supply chain risks [03:40] Generalist or tactical: a false choice [04:09] Two categories of development, and the gap [05:11] Burnout, low pay, and lack of strategy [06:20] The silo trap of deep expertise [07:33] Routine vs adaptive expertise [09:42] Why leadership programs fall short [11:06] The convergence of complexity and missing support [12:02] What intellectual infrastructure should provide [14:23] The Forum as a new model [16:00] When were you last curious about your field? If that question made you pause, you are not alone. Many experienced professionals are facing complex challenges with training models that no longer fit the realities they work in. The Forum at Crisis Lab was created to give senior leaders a space to learn with peers, test new ideas, and stay sharp in a changing environment.

Building athletes who are strong, healthy, and resilient requires more than sets and reps, starting with a shift in mindset. Christi Edson, Head of Performance for the Orlando Pride in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), shares how she integrates strength and conditioning with sport science to sustain athlete health and performance. She reflects on the field’s evolution from the well-known “Bigger, Faster, Stronger” program to a training culture emphasizing resilience, active recovery, and durability. Drawing from her experience coaching high school athletes to NWSL professionals, Edson highlights the adaptability and creativity coaches need. Those qualities help her to develop athletes who can thrive through a demanding 11-month season. She details how tools like GPS, force plates, and velocity-based training sharpen communication and reshape expectations in the gym. Her story points coaches toward the future of athlete development: collaboration, precise load management, and long-term health as the foundation of strength.

The Certified Performance and Sport Scientist (CPSS) credential can help you expand your qualifications, open new career paths, and strengthen cross-department collaboration.Show Notes“I think that would be a good example of how I fell into the sport science side, is I was trained up as a S&C coach and then was given technology to figure out after the fact. One of those technologies being force plates, which I have come to love. They're so diverse in what I can do with them in the gym.” 9:15 “I tell my athletes that all the time. You're not here for me. You're not here for me. You are here to play soccer. And my job is to help you stay healthy, to play soccer. We have some words up in the gym, which I finally got. It was strong, healthy, resilient. […] I want you to be healthy mentally and physically, because I don't need you to just slog through a season. I want you to feel good going into the weekend. But then resilient, you're going to take some knocks. But can we bounce back from that? And that strong foundation, I think, is a big piece of that.” 17:25 “Keep your ear to the ground for internships. […] Get those NSCA certifications in early because they are becoming more required. And the organizations that you work for have their ear to the ground. They understand what the minimum standard should be.” 24:10

The harsh truth is that many mentoring relationships fail to deliver actual career advancement especially for Black women. In this candid episode, we unpack why traditional mentorship often falls short and what true strategic mentoring should look like. It's not about inspirational coffee chats or vague encouragement; it's about someone with genuine influence opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to you. As I share from personal experience, "A mentor without contacts or influence is just a friend with opinions."We also tackle the growing trend of companies mandating three-day office returns and how to negotiate terms that work for your life. Through my own negotiation story, I demonstrate how standing firm on your non-negotiables can actually work in your favour, even in a tough job market. Remember if employers want your talents badly enough, they'll meet your terms.The episode also explores how neurodivergent individuals are protected under the Equality Act as a disability class, offering important legal insights for workplace accommodations. Plus, I share a personal story about setting boundaries with new friendships and the importance of protecting your kindness from those who would take advantage.Between renovation chaos and career revelations, this episode delivers practical wisdom for navigating work politics, boundary-setting, and strategic relationship building. Whether you're seeking advancement or simply trying to maintain your sanity in today's workplace, these insights will help you recognize your worth and advocate for yourself effectively.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/ Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star Stationary Company - Sistah Scribble Instagram @sistahscribble Website: www.sistahscribble.com

Presented by Stacy Ogbeide, PsyD, ABPP; UT Health San AntonioSTFM Conference on Practice & Quality Improvement 2025 Middle Session | Tuesday, September 9, 2025There has been exponential growth of behavioral health integration (BHI) in primary care within the United States over the past decade. While there has been growth and the development of recommendations for BHI in primary care, this approach to patient care is not yet the standard of care within primary care delivery models, as many practices either do not have behavioral health clinicians within their practice or have sub-optimal behavioral health clinician staffing ratios. The purpose of this presentation is to review the current research related to BHI in primary care and its impact on patient care, the primary care team, and primary care behavioral health workforce development. Additionally, participants will be presented with interventions to improve BHI in primary care within their clinics, teams, and training programs, as well as current and future interventions to address workforce shortages. Lastly, guidance will be provided for health care organizations and academic intuitions on how to provide ongoing support for community-based clinical training initiatives.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Report on current research trends related to behavioral health integration in primary care.Describe the current state of primary care and behavioral health workforce shortages in the United States impacting ongoing behavioral health integration efforts.Explain at least one (1) evidence-informed approach to improve clinical training and workforce shortages.Identify at least one (1), macrosystem approach to support clinical training in primary care within the community.Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2025Stacy Ogbeide, PsyD, ABPPBy training, Dr Ogbeide is a board-certified clinical health psychologist.

Too many designers wait for their companies to approve conferences or courses before investing in themselves.

Yao has built a career across Fortune 500s, startups, and government, while also teaching at Johns Hopkins and MICA. At the heart of his story is one simple belief: don't wait for permission to grow.In our conversation, Yao shares why investing in your own education is less about buying a certificate and more about building confidence, networks, and opportunities that pay dividends for years. We talk about the “entrepreneurial mindset” of learning—how approaching your growth like a founder changes the way you show up in your job.We also dig into the hidden ROI of conferences, courses, and communities. Beyond the talks, it's the connections, the ideas, and the confidence you bring back to your team that make the investment worth it. Whether you're a junior designer or a seasoned leader, this episode will challenge how you think about your growth.If you've ever hesitated to spend your own money or time on learning, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale sits down with Ginger Ausloos, Vice President of Technology Solutions and Data Strategy at AACSB International, and Gretchen Steenstra, Director, Project Strategy and Leadership at DelCor, to explore the evolution from digital transformation to digital strategy. Ginger shares how her organization has embraced cloud-based systems, built a transparent IT culture, and developed a governance model that empowers business units. The conversation also dives into leadership styles, AI adoption, and the importance of aligning IT with organizational goals. Themes and Topics:Digital Strategy vs. Digital TransformationGinger emphasizes that it's time to move from digital transformation to governing and optimizing digital strategy.AACSB's digital strategy sits just below organizational strategy and guides tools, communication, and member engagement.Many associations still focus on transformation, but the real challenge is managing change in a cloud-based world.Leadership Through Transparency and PartnershipGinger uses a public-facing Monday board to share IT priorities and progress with the entire organization.Business units are involved in strategic planning, fostering collaboration and shared ownership.Her leadership style is described as “gentle maneuvers” rather than command and control.Best-of-Breed Technology and Integration StrategyAACSB avoids long-term vendor lock-in, preferring 3-year contracts and best-of-breed solutions.A centralized data warehouse enables flexible integrations and easier system replacements.The organization has decoupled its AMS from other systems to reduce disruption and increase agility.Governance and Change ManagementGinger highlights the importance of protocols for change to avoid chaos in a cloud environment.The IT Steering Committee, though currently paused, played a key role in prioritizing initiatives across departments.Change management is reframed as adoption and strategic communication, using digital strategy as the glue.AI Adoption and Organizational ReadinessGinger is pursuing a doctorate focused on AI and machine learning, but sees slow adoption at the organizational level.She warns that AI is being explored individually, not strategically, and leaders need to drive top-down initiatives.-ChatGPT-enhanced emails are not enough. Real transformation requires leadership engagement.Professional Development and Personal GrowthGinger is a Six Sigma Black Belt, beekeeper, and self-described professional development junkie.Her journey from receptionist to VP over 20 years reflects a deep commitment to learning and leadership.She encourages her team to keep moving forward: “If you're not moving forward, you're being left behind.”

Send us a text Casey is a passionate, well-meaning therapist who believes in weight-inclusive care but freezes when clients bring up medical concerns. They've learned about anti-diet principles through Instagram and podcasts, but lack the medical knowledge to counter doctors' weight-focused advice. When a client receives a devastating diabetes diagnosis with the usual "lose weight" lecture, Casey wants to help but secretly wonders if the doctor might be right. Add in family pressure about their own weight, hostile colleagues questioning their approach, and the constant fear of professional consequences - and you have a dedicated professional caught between their values and their limitations. In this episode, I explore why therapists like Casey deserve support, not judgment, and how we can bridge the gap between good intentions and confident, evidence-based practice in the fight for weight-inclusive healthcare. For anti-diet and healthcare professionals, it's time to stop second-guessing your weight-inclusive approach, and get the research, tools, and professional certification to confidently counter medical weight bias:✓ Complete 12-module professional certification program✓ Lifetime access to expanding evidence library✓ Professional Directory listing for client referralsGot a question for the next podcast?
