Jigar Shah (Loan Program Office at DOE) by Commissioner Tim Echols

Department of Energy's Loan Program Office is administering billions to advance some of the nation's most ambitious problem-solving technologies. FedHeads, including guest cohost and ACT-IAC CEO Dave Wennergren, heard how the Loan Program Office is navigating risk and complexity to achieve its ambitious goals. Listen in!

Join us for an amazing episode with Jigar Shah who gained prominence as an American clean energy entrepreneur and is now the Director, Loan Programs Office at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

It's a consistent pattern at most companies: High-value data and corporate memory are stored in isolated channels on disparate systems. Old processes are protected by those who have been their the longest. The problem is, the DNA of the company becomes lost as long-time employees depart, making it difficult for new hires to find what is available, why decisions were made, and who they can look to for answers.  Michael Lewis talks about this in his podcast, “https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-1-six-levels-down/id1455379351?i=1000555532510 (Against the Rules)” in the series “Six Levels Down”. When he was looking for someone who actually understood how the insurance industry processes claims and what all the obfuscated code numbers meant, and how doctors actually get claims paid, he had to go six levels deep, to an overworked expert, toiling away down in the hospital basement. She actually knew what all that gobble-di-goop meant.  Ashley Wolf, Open Source Program Office Lead at GitHub, has confronted this dilemma throughout her career. Not only can there be missing documentation for existing processes, there is pushback when it came to phasing out outdated processes and tooling.

Training and learning opportunities are an important part of the design of any job. Frontline workers recently rated job growth and learning opportunities in the top three things they want in a job. Many workers, however, receive little, if any, training from their employers. This lack of investment in workers' skills impedes workers' opportunities for advancement, trapping many in a cycle of dead-end, low-quality jobs where women and people of color make up a disproportionate number of workers. For businesses and employers, failing to invest in workers is also costly. In addition to a disengaged workforce, many employers face high turnover when they do not invest in their workers. In the past year, the top reason workers globally left their jobs was due to a lack of career development and advancement opportunities. Businesses that invest in workers' skills development and design jobs with work-based learning (WBL) opportunities, however, offer a more promising path. When designed well, work-based learning provides a number of benefits to workers and businesses. WBL approaches such as apprenticeship, on-the-job training, and other forms of employer-sponsored training can offer workers the opportunity for upward mobility and the chance to earn and learn at the same time while employers gain a more engaged and skilled workforce. Too often though the frontline workers who could benefit the most from work-based learning do not receive the opportunity. How can businesses design jobs that include quality work-based learning that improves opportunity for workers and business outcomes? What barriers and opportunities do employers face in creating apprenticeship and other work-based learning models, particularly for front-line workers? What can we do to equitably expand work-based learning to workers who need it the most? This event features a panel discussion with Daniel Bustillo (Executive Director, Healthcare Career Advancement Program), Jocelyn Caldwell (VP, Workforce Strategy and Organizational Growth, Walmart), Kim Gregorie (Head of the Business and Program Office for Talent Development and the Global Career Experience, JPMorgan Chase & Co.), Paul Osterman (Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Professor of Human Resources and Management, MIT Sloan School of Management), and moderator Abha Bhattarai (Economics Correspondent, The Washington Post).

H@H: Ep 68 – Avni Kansara joins host, Adam Ward on this week's episode of Here@Haas. As the Director of Student Experience for the EWMBA program, Avni is in charge of running key events in the program's calendar, including WE Launch, Haas' introductory weekend for new admits. Having worked at Berkeley Haas for seven years, Avni knows what goes into making a successful event for students. During this interview, she provides a behind-the-scenes look of WE Launch and the learnings she had from having to take the whole event virtual last year. As a murder mystery writer in her spare time, Avni drops a few clues about some of the surprises that will be happening in this year's WE Launch event. Episode Quotes:How the Program Office has changed during her seven-year tenure: “When I first started, the advising structure was quite different - it was very transactional… there was not really any continuity in terms of the advising. And so we changed that structure to how it is now in the sense that we advise students by last name. So, you know, a student comes into the program and they know who their advisor is and who they can go to for any kind of questions or anything. And so that helps create the trust that is needed for a student when they're coming in.”What Avni loves about WE Launch: “What I absolutely love about the weekend is that when you arrive on Friday morning, you have check-in and there's about 275-285 new students that come in, and nobody knows each other. And then by Sunday they're super close, like family basically. It's so wonderful to see that.”How her learnings from taking WeLaunch virtual will be infused into this year's event:“Something that I had thought of after last year's event was that actually we could go with this hybrid model going forward, where students have the ability to participate in these [informational] Zoom sessions prior to the weekend. And that way, the weekend can be focused on cohort bonding.”Speaking about the murder mystery books she wrote:“The first book is called Redemption and it is a murder mystery that takes place in a made up city close to Monterey… The police force doesn't really deal with homicides very often because it's a relatively crime free area. And so when there is a homicide, these detectives have to bumble their way through and deal with the public perception issues because everyone thinks they can't do it.”Show Links:WE Launch 2021Redemption - Avni KansaraSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/here-at-haas/donations

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Josh Gryniewicz, a storyteller, storytelling consultant and writer. He is founder of Odd Duck LLC., a boutique storytelling for social change communication firm, that works with nonprofits, NGOs, social impact start-ups, and issue-based documentaries to help them shape their narrative.Josh Gryniewicz is co-host of the beautiful Story Matters podcast. This podcast is about why story actually does matter. It focuses on the use of story for social change and the power of narrative to shape culture, especially during times of crisis. We are going through climate change and social challenges that are threatening our democracy and safety. We are also in the middle of a global pandemic. But Josh and Story Matters give hope. This podcast uses the power of imagination conveyed by narrative to overcome all the adversity and sad things that we are facing in this world. “We need to think more broadly and that means a call for radical imagination and changing the narrative of everything that brought us to this point”“Narrative gives us the structure to reimagine what's possible and see solutions”Story Matters brings the storytelling campfire experience right to you! If you would like to listen to it, please go to: https://www.storymatters.site/Josh and Amrit dive deep into the heart of “story”. They share an entertaining and fascinating conversation about the depths and history of “story”, and what it means to be living your story. Josh is a storyteller above all and covers more than 45000 years of evolutionary storytelling history. Amrit is wisdom hungry and completely fascinated about storytelling ever since he can talk. They both turn this episode into a moment of bliss.Amrit makes reference to experts in psychology, mythology, unified physics, religion, literature, philosophy, neuroscience and human cultural evolution amongst others to explore his point. He believes that wisdom, especially in his country, was passed on to later generations through the ability of storytelling, and we have lost some of that art because of the need of writing and not being able to transmit stories verbally. He sees clearly how much story informs us as human beings and our story and narrative. We are connected to our story and our story informs our presence; the way we live is through our character and the character is in our story. Josh believes a lot of storytelling is a learning tool but going back to the aboriginal origins, he remarks that it was used for a cooperative purpose. In regards to written word as opposed to the oral traditions, he affirms that when you start recording a series of events in a factual and detailed way all it does is reinforce the protagonist models making us follow somebody through a narrative from beginning to end.This isolates us and takes us away from the collective model where we are all together getting bits of that story and sharing that space.When Josh is training, he talks a lot about Joseph Campbell’s “Hero Myth”, a common template of stories that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home changed or transformed. And also refers to his favourite and beautiful concept of “Sonder”, the realization that each random passer-by is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Josh embodies and strongly believes that every single one of us has an informed rich inner life, we all have our own experiences, and we are all protagonists in our own stories. Everybody is in a story with their own story and collectively trying to bring all those stories together.Sharing story can heal you. Josh has witnessed it at first hand and states that healing is about looking at your trauma through your lense and taking ownership and action over it. And each time you heal, your story shifts including more of what is relevant in your life and reducing the trauma.Finally, Josh talks about why we identify with some characters in movies and books. When you identify with a character, you identify with their narrative and this activates the same parts of your brain, so what you are sensing is because you are very in tuned with your own mind. He also shares a short hilarious story about Hemingway you can't miss, as well as another couple of arguments to demonstrate there is something about how the viewer, listener, experiencer, audiencer, of the story interprets what they see and how they incorporate it into their own experiences.Gryniewicz shares ways in which people can connect to their own story. He himself is focussed on sharing stories publicly and connects by journaling and picking up things of his day, looking at them in different ways and trying to understand how important they are to him. Personally he suggests you pay attention to the stories you tell yourself and why you tell them in a certain way. If you see it needs to be changed, then change it. In this chapter you will learn how to live your story in the most empowered way you have ever imagined.“Each random passer-by is living a life as vivid and complex as your own” About Josh Gryniewicz:Josh Gryniewicz is the founder of Odd Duck, a boutique storytelling for social change communication firm.

Schultz walks us through how his team of 14 small business professionals is working to support the warfighter by encouraging program offices to seek and consider small businesses when they are developing their acquisition strategies. Schultz brings a deep level of experience to the job from his years of work in contracting and cost analysis and is uniquely qualified to provide advice and counsel on both sides of the negotiating table, helping to secure opportunities for small business owners throughout the country. Schultz explains that his team runs a wide spectrum of engagement activities so all parties are aware of what the others can offer, such as mentoring small businesses on how to interpret contracting requirements, advising program offices when small businesses are available options, and learning from the Small Business Administration when companies are interested in Air Force partnerships.

Episode 15 - Interview with Nikki Brown-Booker, Program Officer, Disability Inclusion Fund, Borealis Philanthropy, shares insights and wisdom from the funder's side of the table. Nonprofits focused on social justice and civil rights should listen closely!Nikki Brown-Booker is a Filipino/Black woman with a disability who works in philanthropy. "When I enter a room no one looks like me. This is my life experience. It doesn't change except for the rare occurrence when I attend an advocacy meeting or training that people with disabilities would attend."Nikki's story is, in her words, ". . . exclusively American. My mother immigrated from the Philippines after WWII at the age of 18 along with her 6 siblings and her parents. She worked as a domestic worker, nanny, and housekeeper. Her father fought in the Philippine army defending America against the Japanese. My father grew up outside of Jackson, Mississippi and moved to California in the sixties because he could no longer tolerate being a black man in the South. He went to trade school in Mississippi to become a chef. When he moved to California, he worked his way through kitchens before eventually owning his own successful restaurant. That was good food. My parents both had previous marriages with children before the met. They blended their families and they had me."Both of Nikki's parents actively participated in workers' rights and never crossed a picket line.  Her mother's father organized with Cesar Chavez and her grandmother was the first director of the Filipino community center in Vallejo, home to one of the largest Filipino populations in the United States. Nikki writes, "To put this in perspective, 44% of all U.S. Filipinos live in California. My family taught me the importance of social justice and organizing others who felt the same. Through example, I was taught never to leave others behind."Nikki was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis as a child. She was extremely strong-willed despite poor health and chronic pain. "My parents never put limits on me. They raised me to be generous, strong, kind and to be proud of who I am. I was taught that we are all equal and that my actions need to reflect that belief. This is what brought me to philanthropic work."Nikki writes, "As an advocate who promotes racial and disability justice I can tell you that organizations engaged in philanthropy have a lot to learn before they can effectively serve intersectional communities. I come from marginalized identities. My presence as the the Program as the Program Office for the Disability Inclusion Fund is one  example of inclusive but so much more is needed. I am uniquely qualified through education and personal history to make decisions that can affect the community I was born into. I am stakeholder. In order for the field of philanthropy to successfully help marginalized people they must be working at the foundation level and in the boardroom. We need to see those faces in the room. We need to hear their voices. We must advocate from a place of experienced insight and true empathy. I am working to witness this in my lifetime. I hope you will join me."GivingHeartBeat@gmail.com     

Welcome back for another episode of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Leadership Log podcast. This week we celebrate one of our own. James Tipton is the lead engineer for three B-1 ACAT III programs, and the software sustainment program at AFLCMC's B-1 program office located at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. He was recently honored as a recipient of the 2020 Gears of Government President's Award for his innovative approach to the Air Force's B-1 Bomber modernization and sustainment activities. The Gears of Government Awards are designed to drive a culture of excellence and continuous improvement, which ultimately provides the federal workforce with tools and ideas to better serve the American people. The individuals and teams recognized exemplify the hard work and innovation essential to achieving the President's vision for a modern, effective government. Award recipients embody the values of mission, service, and stewardship, and their stories display the impact public servants are making across the government. Lt. Col. Timothy Jackson is the B-1 System Program Office deputy director. He remarked about the importance of Tipton's work. He said, "The B-1 is one of the backbones that Air Force Global Strike Command relies on every single day to continue meeting the National Defense Strategy. Individual contributors like Mr. Tipton who consistently go the extra mile and demonstrate daily dedication supporting the warfighter, are the keystones that keep the weapon system doing what the Air Force needs it to do to protect every American's civil liberty." "I'm honored to be recognized for this prestigious award," said Tipton. "This achievement I believe is really a reflection of the dedication and hard work across the B-1 division."

Due to the current global health crisis and concerns around the spread of COVID-19, events, both large and small have been canceled across the United States. Where does the industry go from here? How has event planning changed and adapted? In this podcast, Deidre West, director of special events and celebrity relations at the Children’s Health Fund, will discuss her experience navigating this new reality. Deidre West DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EVENTS AND CELEBRITY RELATIONS FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTH FUND M.A. (New York University) Deidre West's experience in event planning includes a wide range from luncheons, dinner and conferences to high-profile events for celebrities and professional athletes, product launches, consumer brands in fashion, food and beverages industries, galas, retail stores, and a hotel grand reopening. West is a native Ohioan and has always had an interest in conceptualizing an idea and bringing it to life. At Ohio University she created a multidisciplinary Bachelor of Specialized Studies degree in Advertising that included courses from Public Relations, Marketing, Business, Journalism, Telecommunications, and Interpersonal Communications. West's love of music and understanding the business aspect of identifying talent and marketing artists piqued her interest. After graduating from OU, she went on to study Music Business and Entertainment Professions at New York University, where she received a master’s degree. During graduate school, West had the opportunity to plan events for the NYU community as the Special Events Graduate Assistant in NYU’s Program Office. Her team was responsible for planning “Big Fun Days” around campus for students, faculty and staff. These events included All Hallow’s Eve, Chill Out Day (during finals) and Strawberry Fest. Working for Sony Music enabled West to gain event experience during her first full-time job out of grad school. As the label representative for The Source magazine’s “Fashion Nation Tour,” she was involved in on-site execution of the tour at college campuses. This lead to her next role at a men’s magazine where she served as marketing/promotion and event manager, conceptualizing, planning and implementing various integrated marketing programs and events. In addition to the events in NYC, West planned events across the country (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, Chicago, Miami, and Boston) as well as in Puerto Rico. At Metropolitan Home and ELLE Decor magazines, West wrote integrated marketing proposals for advertisers and planned events in NYC, Los Angeles and Miami. The largest project that she managed was two months of private parties and public walking tours, as well as third-party rentals for the Metropolitan Home and Showtime Networks' Showhouse . The launch event won the Silver Award for "Best First Time Event" at the FOLIO: FAME Awards. After leaving the publishing industry, West spent more than five years at NYU planning large scale events that included Open House, Junior Day, and CSAW Cybersecurity Conference and Competition - the largest cybersecurity competition and conference in the world – and many other events. West is currently the Director of Special Events and Celebrity Relations for Children’s Health Fund, a New York City based nonprofit that provides medical, dental and mental health services across the country via state-of-the-art mobile medical clinics. She is responsible for planning fundraising, donor and other special events, and finding ways to engage celebrities for events as well as awareness campaigns.   WVU Marketing Communications Today is hosted by Michael Lynch from West Virginia University which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.     

Even though the U-S has not yet reached its peak number of COVID-19 cases – experts are already wondering if this virus will return each year, like the flu. Because COVID-19 is an entirely NEW virus – no one has ever had it and therefore 100-percent of the world’s population is at risk of catching it. That makes the search for a vaccine even more pressing.

Scientists and companies are racing to find a vaccine to fight back COVID-19. Unfortunately, scrambling for the right tools to fight a dangerous disease is not a NEW problem – it surfaces with each global outbreak. In 2-thousand-and-nine, the world was hit with H-one-N-one – better known as the swine flu. In one year, that virus killed more than 12-thousand people in the U-S.
