Join Hoda and her guests as they bring Career Literacy to life. Tricia Berry shared, “Change is good but change is hard… Even good change is still a challenge”. What are your thoughts on change? How have you handled the changes in your life? Peter Pitts said, “There is this unspoken magic that occurs. It all boils down to people. It's just people meeting people meeting people”. If careers are shaped as much by relationships and conversations as by skills and credentials, how might career literacy help you recognize, navigate, and intentionally build human connections that influence your academic and career paths? Reflect. Share. Start the conversation.   Guest 1 Bio Tricia Berry, a Learning Specialist for Career Education K-12 with the New Brunswick Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

What does it really take to succeed in China's rapidly evolving spa, wellness, beauty, and fitness market? Recorded at the Spa China Summit, this episode of the StarrCast Podcast takes Lisa Starr directly into the market for conversations with four industry professionals who bring distinctly different perspectives on China's wellness economy. Together, they explore changing consumer expectations, localization, technology, equipment innovation, fitness growth, and the importance of understanding China as a complex collection of regional markets rather than one uniform consumer landscape.  What You'll Learn Why Chinese beauty and wellness consumers are increasingly balancing efficacy, quality, and value for money, and where premium opportunities remain.  Why international wellness brands need to localize their strategies rather than simply bring a successful Western business model into China. How relationships, trust, local partners, after-sales support, and cultural understanding can influence success in the Chinese market.  How Chinese spa consumers and operators are embracing new technology, AI, robotics, wellness concepts, and equipment innovation.  Why commercial fitness is gaining momentum and why more Chinese hotel brands are incorporating fitness facilities into their guest experience.  Episode Highlights 00:00 – Yuwan Hu on China's changing beauty, lifestyle, and wellness consumer 07:08 – How efficacy, price, and perceived value are influencing purchasing decisions 11:58 – How wellness opportunities differ across China's tier-one, tier-two, and tier-three cities 18:41 – Why international brands need localization and cultural understanding to succeed in China 25:18 – Luca Gualdrini on bringing icoone® into the Chinese market and learning to operate differently 36:15 – Benjamin Jiang on China's evolving spa equipment market, technology, innovation, and wellness experiences 52:14 – David Chioe on the resurgence of commercial fitness and growing hotel fitness demand in China Meet the Guests Yuwan Hu, principal of HY Nexus, brings a market research and brand strategy perspective to the conversation, with a focus on consumer insights, beauty, lifestyle, and wellness. Luca Gualdrini, co-founder and general manager of i-Tech Industries, shares lessons from bringing icoone® technology into China and building the local relationships and infrastructure needed to support the market. Benjamin Jiang, Sales Director for Asia Pacific and China for Intentional Wellness Brands, offers a perspective shaped by 16 years working at the intersection of global wellness equipment, manufacturing, hospitality, and the Chinese market. David Chioe, Regional Director of Sales for the hospitality channel in Asia Pacific for Matrix Fitness, discusses the growing Chinese commercial fitness market and increasing demand for fitness facilities within local hotel brands.  Closing Insight One theme runs through all four conversations: China rewards businesses that are willing to understand the market on its own terms. Consumer expectations are changing quickly, technology is reshaping the wellness experience, and opportunities extend well beyond China's best-known cities. But succeeding in this enormous market requires more than scale. It requires cultural awareness, strong local relationships, meaningful differentiation, and a willingness to keep learning. Join Lisa Starr for this on-the-ground look at the opportunities, challenges, and changing face of spa, wellness, beauty, and fitness in China.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Mansons Hall was going through a difficult time in 2022. All of the experienced staff had left and the board was new. That's when Jade Jordan was the manager. As she relates in a post to the Tideline, she found herself asking, 'What exactly does the Hall Manager do?' So she talked to community members and went through the files 'trying to understand how everything worked and why. It turned out to be an incredible experience.' If elected as Regional Director, she plans to bring a similar approach to the position. She has deep roots on Cortes Island. Her grandfather, the late Joe Jordan, was the first to move here. Jade was six when her father, John Jordan followed. In this morning's interview, she talks about her connection to Cortes and why she wishes to be the Director.

Few people have heard of Samuel Crowther, but he was one of the most important missionaries to Nigeria. That's because he was born there, so he knew the language and culture. And he had a special talent for learning languages, so he learned other languages from his region and oversaw the first translation of the Bible in Yoruba. His calling as a minister of the gospel was recognized by the Anglican church, which ordained him as their first African bishop. But he could never have known any of this when he was kidnapped and sold as a slave at just twelve years of age! Join Grace, Isaac, and Sean as they learn more about this important missionary from our guest, Dr. Kelly Kumbu, Regional Director for Francophone Africa and Haiti for Development Associates International and author of a work about Samuel Crowther.   Show Notes Dr. Kumbu's favorite dish is Ceebu Jën (or Jollof), the National dish of Senegal.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Rainbow Ridge Affordable Housing Project will soon be connected to the electrical grid. Traffic on Beasley Road was reduced to a single lane last week while underground electrical service was installed beneath the road. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was also held recently, so Cortes Currents spoke with Sadhu Johnston, executive director of the Cortes Housing Society, for an update. Sadhu Johnston: "We're sitting here at Rainbow Ridge in the community building, which is now complete. That really feels like a great accomplishment for this community." "We held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the building just a couple of weeks ago. It was a really fun event, with about 150 or 200 people attending. One of the children who will be living in that building over there cut the ribbon, along with our founder, Sandra Wood, Chief Kevin Peacey from the Klahoose Nation and Mark Vonesch, our Regional Director." "It was a really nice opportunity to stop and say, “Wow, we've got a community building here. We now have laundry facilities, offices, water and a guest bedroom. That feels like a real step forward." "We also have three residential buildings that are now out of the ground. One has been occupied since July 1, with two families living in it. It's really great to have people living on the property after so many years of the community talking about using this land for housing." "Our second duplex is nearing completion, and the residents will be moving in on October 1. It will be our second occupied building and will also house two families. Each of these families has children, so in about three weeks, we'll have five kids living on the property." "We're across the street from the school, and the skate park, new multi-use courts and trail are all right here. It's a great location for families and children." "The next building will open on January 1, 2027. There is a two-bedroom unit where a mother and her child will be living. We also have a one-bedroom unit that we are currently in the process of leasing." "There has been a lot of progress in getting these buildings up and occupied. For the most part, we've been operating on solar power and batteries because we haven't had a BC Hydro connection." "We're very enthusiastic about getting BC Hydro connected to the property before winter because the solar panels produce less power when it's rainy and cloudy. We really want to go into the winter with BC Hydro connections to each of the homes." "As you can see from all the trenches around here, we're very much in the middle of getting everything ready. We've just cut through Beasley Road and installed all the connections beneath it." "In the next few days, all the metering and connections should be completed. We'll then be ready for BC Hydro to run the wires through the conduits and connect us to the grid."

Welcome to episode #282! When Both Spouses Have a Story: Finding Hope After Sexual Brokenness With RJ and Melissa WhaleyWhat happens when both spouses bring sexual brokenness into a marriage? RJ and Melissa Whaley join us to share their incredibly honest story of pornography, betrayal, recovery, rebuilding trust, and discovering that God can use even the hardest parts of our story for His glory.Their journey is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't simply about stopping a behavior. It's about learning to become healthier people, rebuilding connection, taking responsibility for our own choices, and creating a new path for our marriages and families.Most importantly, your story doesn't have to end where your struggle began.Key TakeawaysMarriage doesn't automatically fix sexual brokenness—healing requires intentional work.Your pain matters, but you are also responsible for how you respond to it.Recovery isn't just about sobriety; it's about rebuilding the relationship.Trust is rebuilt through honesty, consistency, and actions that match our words.Look for the small wins—or "glimmers"—that show you are moving in a healthier direction.You can't change your spouse, but you can change how you show up.You don't have to walk this journey alone. Authentic community can make all the difference.Scripture Highlight“Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.” — Joshua 24:15We have a choice in how we respond, how we show up, and what direction we take. We may not be able to control everything around us, but we can choose the next right step.Action StepsTake responsibility for your yard. Ask: What is mine to own in this situation?Look for a glimmer. Identify one area where you or your relationship is doing better than before.Choose one small change. Don't try to fix everything at once. What is one healthy step you can consistently take this week?Find community. Don't keep sexual struggles, pain, or recovery isolated. Find someone safe who can walk with you.Remember: You don't have to change perfectly. You just have to keep choosing differently—and keep moving toward Jesus.Connect to the Whaley's:Instagram: The Trail Blazing LifeRJ and Melissa's Website

What does great sales coaching really look like, and why is it so different from simply telling someone what to do? In this episode of The Grow Your Occupancy Podcast, Julie Podewitz, CEO & Founder of Grow Your Occupancy, talks with Jeff Gronemeyer, a Regional Director of Sales & Marketing with Charter Senior Living, for a candid conversation about coaching, continuous learning, discovery, and the human side of senior living sales. Jeff shares insights from nearly two decades in senior living, including why coaching should never feel punitive, how leaders can create a culture where learning and improvement are expected, and why the best coaches guide people toward finding answers rather than simply giving them instructions. Julie and Jeff also explore one of the most important—and often misunderstood—sales skills: discovery. Great discovery isn't an interrogation or a checklist of questions to complete. It's an ongoing conversation built on curiosity, listening, connection, and a genuine desire to understand the person behind the prospect. And if Jeff could wave a magic wand and eliminate one common senior living sales misstep? It would be ending an interaction without establishing a legitimate, meaningful next step. From building trust to navigating difficult conversations, this episode is a reminder that becoming great at senior living sales isn't about reaching a finish line. It's about continuing to learn, practice, improve, and show up for the people we serve.

The election year emptied out Washington DC, so Meredith Goldberg ran the hotel's beagle for president. In this episode of Content Amplified, Meredith, Regional Director of Marketing for the East Coast at Lore Group, explains how guest experience became her marketing discipline and how she finds cultural moments that actually land. She walks through building guest personas out of booking data (midweek one to two night stays from out of state versus longer weekend stays with double rooms that read as family travel), and why a hotel marketer wears a different hat every day across digital, CRM, social, experiences, and PR. Then she tells the Monti story: a rescue beagle at The Jefferson in DC who got a campaign video, a platform, a poster from a local artist, business cards, a cabinet of dogs from other hotels, a convention in August that infuriated housekeeping, and a spot in People magazine. Meredith also shares how she scouts milestone anniversaries, like The West Wing turning twenty, and what she did the morning after a preview event where only two creators showed up.About MeredithMeredith Goldberg is New York born and raised and has been based in Washington DC for about twenty five years, after coming for college and staying. Her first job out of school was as a matchmaker for a dating service, where she learned she was a very bad matchmaker but a very good storyteller. A stint in clothing sales, and a shirt that appeared on an episode of The O.C. for about two seconds, pulled her into marketing, and she went on to earn a marketing master's at Johns Hopkins before landing in PR at a historic DC hotel. She has worked in small luxury properties, a convention center hotel, and a resort, and she is a dog person who now makes sure every property she works with is dog friendly.Show NotesConnect with Meredith on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/goldbergmeredith/Follow Meredith on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mjg0614/Text us what you think about this episode!

Humanitarian crises are often understood through the lens of immediate need: more aid, more access and more funding.But ODI Global's new report Oppression, Liberation and Humanitarianism in Palestine, Myanmar and Sudan argues that we must also understand the systems of power that produce and sustain suffering.In this episode of Think Change, guests Dustin Barter, Hala Al Karib and Athena Rayburn explore what humanitarian action can learn from movements of solidarity and resistance and what it would mean to build a system that supports not only survival, but dignity, justice and liberation.GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalDustin Barter, Senior Research Fellow ODI GlobalHala Al Karib, Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA).Athena Rayburn, Executive Director, Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA)Related resourcesOppression, liberation and humanitarianism in Palestine, Myanmar and SudanA humanitarian trap?

The U.S. Department of Labor wants to add more than 300,000 registered apprenticeship positions nationwide, part of a bigger push to expand this kind of on-the-job learning. So how should employers, and the schools that support them, actually get started?Today's guest is Jessica Desmond, the Regional Director of Career Services and Apprenticeships at ECPI University. Desmond tells host Jason Altmire how ECPI partners with employers to design registered apprenticeship programs across more than 1,000 approved occupations, beyond just the skilled trades that have been traditionally associated with apprenticeships. Fields like advanced manufacturing, IT, cybersecurity and software development are all in the mix. She explains how strategic apprenticeships can help students get placed in the field, while employers have the opportunity to train a pipeline of loyal, skilled workers.To learn more about Career Education Colleges & Universities, visit our website.

Welcome to episode #280! When Your Body Is Trying to Tell You Something with Dr.Dave JanvierWhat if the urge to look at porn isn't always about sex?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Dave Janvier, a clinical counselor and certified sex therapist, to explore embodiment—learning to recognize what's happening inside our bodies, emotions, and nervous systems.Dave explains why simply trying to “think” our way out of addiction often isn't enough. Sometimes the craving we experience is pointing to something deeper: loneliness, stress, grief, disconnection, or an unmet need for relationship and connection.Rather than running from uncomfortable feelings, we can learn to slow down, notice what's happening in our bodies, and respond with wisdom instead of automatically reaching for an escape.And perhaps most importantly, we discover how this connects with our relationship with God. God doesn't just want us to know about Him—He wants us to experience His presence, love, grace, and acceptance.Key TakeawaysAwareness creates space for choice. Learning to recognize physical sensations and emotions earlier can help us respond before we're overwhelmed.Porn can be a symptom, not the root. Sexual urges may sometimes mask deeper needs such as loneliness, grief, stress, or a desire for connection.You can't heal what you continually avoid. Instead of immediately numbing uncomfortable emotions, learn to notice them and sit with them in a grounded way.Our bodies matter. God created us as whole people—body, mind, emotions, relationships, and spirit.God is present in the struggle. Sexual brokenness doesn't mean we have to hide from God. His presence meets us with compassion, grace, and truth.Scriptural Highlight“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses...” — Hebrews 4:15Jesus understands what it means to live in a human body, experience emotion, face temptation, and experience suffering. We don't have to hide the difficult parts of ourselves from Him.This Week's Action StepsPause and check in. A few times throughout the day, stop and ask: What am I noticing in my body right now? What am I feeling?Don't immediately escape the feeling. When a craving or difficult emotion shows up, slow down and breathe before deciding what to do.Ask what's underneath. When you experience an urge to act out, ask: What am I really longing for right now? Connection? Comfort? Rest? Acceptance?Bring it to God. Instead of hiding when you're struggling, practice noticing God's presence with you right in the middle of it.Practice before the battle. Build these awareness and grounding skills when you're calm—not just when you're already triggered.Freedom isn't simply learning how to stop a behavior. Sometimes it's learning to understand what that behavior has been trying to tell you.
