Welcome back to the Ultimate Guide to Partnering® Podcast. AI agents are your next customers. Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX:https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this exclusive interview, Vince Menzione sits down with Darryl Peek, Vice President for Partner Sales (Public Sector) at Elastic, to decode how Elastic achieved the rare “triple crown”—winning Partner of the Year across Microsoft, Amazon, and Google Cloud simultaneously. Darryl breaks down the engineering-first approach that makes Elastic sticky with hyperscalers, reveals the rigorous metrics behind their partner health scorecard, and shares his personal “one-page strategy” for aligning mission, vision, and execution. From leveraging generative AI for cleaner sales hygiene to the timeless lesson of the “Acre of Diamonds,” this conversation offers a masterclass in building high-performance partner ecosystems in the public sector and beyond. https://youtu.be/__GE0r2fPuk Key Takeaways Elastic achieved “Pinnacle” status by aligning engineering roadmaps directly with hyperscaler innovations to become essential infrastructure. Successful public sector sales require a dual approach: leveraging resellers for contract access while driving domain-specific co-sell motions. Partner relationships outperform contracts; consistency in communication is more valuable than only showing up for renewals. Effective partner organizations track “influence” revenue just as rigorously as direct bookings to capture the full value of SI relationships. Generative AI can automate sales hygiene, turning scattered meeting notes into actionable CRM data and reducing friction for sales teams. The “Acre of Diamonds” philosophy reminds leaders that the greatest opportunities often lie within their current ecosystem, not in distant new markets. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

Transcript: Darryl Peek Audio Episode [00:00:00] Darryl Peek: I say, I tell my team from time to time, the difference between contacts and contracts is the R and that’s the relationship. So if you’re not building the relationship, then how do you expect that partner to want to lean in? Don’t just show up when you have a contract. Don’t just show up when you have a renewal. [00:00:13] Darryl Peek: Make sure that you are reaching out and letting them know what is happening. Don’t just talk to me when you need a renewal, right? When you’re at end of quarter and you want me to bring a deal forward, [00:00:23] Vince Menzione: welcome to the Ultimate Guide to Partnering. I’m Vince Menzi. Own your host, and my mission is to help leaders like you achieve your greatest results through successful partnering. [00:00:34] Vince Menzione: We just came off Ultimate Partner live at Caresoft Training Center in Reston, Virginia. Over two days, we gathered top leaders to tackle the real shifts shaping our industry. If you weren’t in the room, this episode brings you right to the edge of what’s next. Let’s dive in. So we have another privilege, an incredible partner, another like we call these, if you’ve heard our term, pinnacle. [00:01:00] Vince Menzione: I think it’s a term that’s not widely used, but we refer to Pinnacle as the partners that have achieved the top rung. They’ve become partners of the year. And our next presenter, our next interview is going to be with an organization. And a person that represents an organization that has been a pinnacle partner actually for all three Hyperscalers, which is really unusual. [00:01:24] Vince Menzione: Elastic has been partner of the Year award winner across Microsoft, Amazon, and Google Cloud, so very interesting. And Darrell Peak, who is the leader for the public sector organization, he’s here in the Washington DC area, was kind enough. Elastic is a sponsor event, and Darryl’s been kind enough to join me for a discussion about what it takes to be a Pinnacle partner. [00:01:47] Vince Menzione: So incredibly well. Excited to welcome you, Darryl. Thank you, sir. Good to have you. I love you. I love your smile, man. You got an incredible smile. Thank you. Thank you, Vince. Thank you. So Darryl, I probably didn’t do it any justice, but I was hoping you could take us through your role and responsibilities at Elastic, which is an incredible organization. [00:02:08] Vince Menzione: Alright. Yeah, [00:02:09] Darryl Peek: absolutely. So Darrell Peak vice President for partner sales for the US public sector at Elastic. I’ve been there about two and a half years. Responsible for our partner relationships across all partner types, whether that’s the system integrators, resellers, MSPs, OEMs, distribution Hyperscalers, and our Technology Alliance partners. [00:02:26] Darryl Peek: And those are partners that aren’t built on the Elastic platform. In regards to how my partner team interacts with our team. Our ecosystem. We are essentially looking to further and lean in with our partners in order for them to, one, understand what Elastic does since we’re such a diverse tool, but also work with our field to understand what are their priorities and how do they identify the right partners for the right requirements. [00:02:50] Darryl Peek: In regards to what Elastic is and what it does elastic is a solution that is actually founded on search and we’re an open source company. And one of the things that I actually did when I left the government, so I worked for the government for a number of years. I left, went and worked for Salesforce, then worked for Google ran their federal partner team and then came over to Elastic because I wanted to. [00:03:11] Darryl Peek: Understand what it meant to be at an open source company. Being at an open source company is quite interesting ’cause you’re competing against yourself. [00:03:17] Vince Menzione: Yeah, that’s true. [00:03:18] Darryl Peek: So it’s pretty interesting. But elastic was founded in 2012 as a search company. So when you talk about search, we are the second most used platform behind Google. [00:03:28] Darryl Peek: So many of you have already used Elastic. Maybe on your way here, if you use Uber and Lyft, that is elastic. That is helping you get here. Oh, that is interesting. If you use Netflix, if you use wikipedia.com, booking.com, eBay, home Depot, all of those are search capabilities. That Elastic is happening to power in regards to what else we do. [00:03:47] Darryl Peek: We also do observability, which is really around application monitoring, logging, tracing, and metrics. So we are helping your operations team. Pepsi is a customer as well as Cisco. Wow. And then the last thing that we do is security when we’re a SIM solution. So when we talk about sim, we are really looking to protect networks. [00:04:03] Darryl Peek: So we all, we think that it’s a data problem. So with that data problem, what we’re trying to do is not only understand what is happening in the network, but also we are helping with threat intelligence, endpoint and cloud security. So all those elements together is what Elastic does. And we only do it two ways. [00:04:18] Darryl Peek: We’re one platform and we can be deployed OnPrem and in the cloud. So that’s a little bit about me and the company. Hopefully it was clear, [00:04:24] Vince Menzione: I’ve had elastic people on stage. You’ve done, that’s the best answer I’ve had. What does Elastic do? I used to hear all this hyperbole and what? [00:04:32] Vince Menzione: What? Now I really understand what you do is an organiz. And the name of the company was Elasticsearch. [00:04:36] Darryl Peek: It was [00:04:37] Vince Menzione: elastic at one time when I first. Worked with you. It was Elasticsearch. [00:04:40] Darryl Peek: Absolutely. Yeah. So many moons ago used to be called the Elk Stack and it stood for three things. E was the Elasticsearch which is a search capability. [00:04:48] Darryl Peek: L is Logstash, which is our logging capability. And Cabana is essentially our visualization capability. So it was called Elk. But since we’ve acquired so many companies and built so much capability into the platform, we can now call it the elastic. Platform. [00:05:00] Vince Menzione: So talk to me about your engagement with the hyperscalers. [00:05:02] Vince Menzione: You’ve been partner of the Year award winner with all three, right? I mentioned that, and you were, you worked for Google for a period of time. Yes. So tell us about, like, how does that work? What does that engagement look like? And why do you get chosen as partner of the year? What are the things that stand out when you’re working with these hyperscalers [00:05:19] Darryl Peek: and with that we are very fortunate to be recognized. [00:05:23] Darryl Peek: So many of the organizations that are out there are doing some of the same capabilities that we do, but they can’t claim that they won a part of the year for all three hyperscalers in the same year. We are able to do that because we believe in the power of partnership, not only from a technology perspective, but also from a sales perspective. [00:05:39] Darryl Peek: So we definitely lean in with our partnerships, so having our engineers talk, having our product teams talk, and making sure that we’re building capabilities that actually integrate within the cloud service providers. And also consistently building a roadmap that aligns with the innovation that the cloud service providers are also building towards. [00:05:56] Darryl Peek: And then making sure that we’re a topic of discussion. So elastic. From a search capability, we do semantic search, vector search, but also retrieval augmented generation, which actually is LLM Agnostic. So when you say LLM Agnostic, whether you want to use Gemini, Claude or even Chad, GBT, those things are something that Elastic can integrate in, but it actually helps reduce the likelihood of hallucination. [00:06:18] Darryl Peek: So when we’re building that kind of solution, the cloud service provider’s you’re making it easy for us, and when you make it easy, you become very attractive and therefore you’re. Likely gonna come. So it becomes [00:06:28] Vince Menzione: sticky in that regard. Very sticky. So it sounds like very much an engineer, a lot of emphasis on the engineering aspects of the business. [00:06:35] Vince Menzione: I know you’re an engineer by background too, right? So the engineering aspects of the business means that you’re having alignment with the engineering organizations of those companies at a very deep level. [00:06:44] Darryl Peek: Absolutely. So I’m [00:06:45] Vince Menzione: here. [00:06:45] Darryl Peek: Yeah. And being at Elastic has been pretty amazing. So coming from Google, we had so many different solutions, so many different SKUs, but Elastic releases every eight weeks. [00:06:54] Darryl Peek: So right before you start to understand the last release, the next release is coming out and we’re already at 9.2 and we just released 9.0 in May. So it’s really blazing fast on the capability that we’re really pushing the market, but it’s really hard to make sure that we get it in front of our partners. [00:07:10] Darryl Peek: So when we talk about our partner enablement strategy, we’re just trying to make sure that we get the right information in front of the right partners at the right time, so this way they can best service their customers. [00:07:19] Vince Menzione: So let’s talk about partner strategy. Alyssa Fitzpatrick was on stage with me at our last event, and she Alyssa’s fantastic. [00:07:25] Vince Menzione: She is incredible. Yes, she is. She was a former colleague at Microsoft Days. Yes. And then she, we had a really interesting conversation. About what it takes, like being in, in a company and then working with the partners in general. And you have, I’m sure you have a lot of the similarities in how you have to engage with these organizations. [00:07:42] Vince Menzione: You’re working across the hyperscalers, you’re also working with the ecosystem too. Yes. ’cause the delivery, you have delivery partners as well. Absolutely. So tell us more about that. [00:07:50] Darryl Peek: So we kinda look at it from a two, two ways from the pre-sales motion and then the post-sales. From the pre-sales side. [00:07:56] Darryl Peek: What we’re trying to do is really maximize our, not only working with partners, because within public sector, you need to get access to customers through contract vehicles. So if you want to get access to some, for instance, the VA or through GSA or others, you have to make sure you’re aligned with the right partners who have access to. [00:08:12] Darryl Peek: That particular agency, but also you want domain expertise. So as you’re working with those system integrators, you wanna make sure that they have capability that aligns. So whether it is a security requirement, you wanna work with someone who specializes in security, observability and search. So that’s the way that we really look at our partner ecosystem, but those who are interested in working with us. [00:08:30] Darryl Peek: Because everybody doesn’t necessarily have a emphasis on working with a new technology partner, [00:08:36] Vince Menzione: right? [00:08:36] Darryl Peek: So what we’re trying to do is saying how do we build programs, incentives and sales plays that really does align and strike the interest of that particular partner? So when we talk about it I tell my team, you have to, my grandfather to say, plan your work and work your plan. And if you fail a plan, you plan to fail. So being able to not only have a strong plan in place, but then execute against that plan, check against that plan as you go through the fiscal year, and then see how you come out at the end of the fiscal year to see are we making that progress? [00:09:01] Darryl Peek: But on the other side of it, and what I get stressed about with my sales team and saying what does partners bring to us? So where are those partner deal registrations? What is the partner source numbers? How are we creating more pipeline? And that is where we’re now saying, okay, how can we navigate and how can we make it easier? [00:09:17] Darryl Peek: And how can we reduce friction in order for the partner to say, okay, elastic’s easy to work with. I can see value in, oh, by the way, I can make some money with. [00:09:25] Vince Menzione: So take us through, have there been examples of areas where you’ve had to like, break through to this other side in terms of growing the partner ecosystem? [00:09:33] Vince Menzione: What’s worked, what hasn’t worked? Yes, I’d love to learn more about that. [00:09:36] Darryl Peek: I’ll say that and I tell my team one, you partner program is essential, right? If you don’t have an attractive partner program in regards to how they come on board, how they’re incentivized the right amount of margin, they won’t even look at you. [00:09:49] Darryl Peek: The second thing is really how do you engage? So a lot of things start with relationships. I think partnerships are really about relationships. I say I tell my team from time to time, the difference between contacts and contracts is the R and that’s the relationship. So if you’re not building the relationship, then how do you expect that partner to want to lean in? [00:10:07] Darryl Peek: Don’t just show up when you have a contract. Don’t just show up when you have a renewal. Make sure that you are reaching out and letting them know what is happening. I like the what Matt brought up in saying, okay, talk to me when you have a win. Talk to me when you have something to talk about. [00:10:22] Darryl Peek: Don’t just talk to me when you need a renewal. When you’re at end the quarter and you want me to bring a deal forward, that doesn’t help ab absolutely. [00:10:28] Vince Menzione: So engineering organizations, sales organizations, what are, what does a healthy partnership look like for you? [00:10:35] Darryl Peek: So I look at metrics a lot and we use a number of tools and I know folks are using tools out there. [00:10:41] Darryl Peek: I won’t name any tools for branding purposes, but in regards to how we look at tools. So some things that we measure closely. Of course it’s our partner source numbers, so partner source, bookings, and pipeline. We look at our partner attached numbers and pipeline as well as the amount or percentage of partner attached business that we have in regards to our overall a CV number. [00:11:00] Darryl Peek: We also look at co-sell numbers, so therefore we are looking at not only how. A partner is coming to us, but how is a partner helping us in closing the deal even though they didn’t bring us the deal? We’re also looking at our cloud numbers and saying what amount of deals and how much business are we doing with our cloud service providers? [00:11:15] Darryl Peek: Because of course we wanna see that number go up year over year. We wanna actually help with that consumption number because not only are we looking at it from a SaaS perspective, but also if the customer has to commit we can help burn that down as well. We also look at influence numbers. [00:11:27] Darryl Peek: Now, one of the harder things to do within a technology business is. Capturing all that si goodness. And saying how do I reflect the SI if they’re not bringing me the deal? And I can’t attribute that amount of deal to that particular partner, right? And the way that we do that is we just tag them to the influence. [00:11:44] Darryl Peek: So we’re able to now track influence. And also the M-S-P-O-E-M work that we are also tracking and also we’re tracking the royalties. And lastly is the professional service work that we do with those partners. So we’re looking to go up into the right where we start them out at our select level, we go to our premier level and then our elite level. [00:12:00] Darryl Peek: But left and to the right, I say you gotta go from zero to one, one to five, five to 10, and then 10 to 25. So if we can actually see that progression. That is where we’re really starting to see health in the partnership, but also the executive alignment is really important. So when our CEO is able to meet with the fellow CEO of the co partner company that is really showing how we are progressing, but also our VPs and others that are engaged. [00:12:20] Darryl Peek: So those are things that we really do measure. We do have a health score card and also, we track accreditations, we track certifications as well as training outcomes based on our sales place. [00:12:30] Vince Menzione: Wow. There’s a lot of metrics there. Yeah. So you didn’t bring, you didn’t bring any slides with that out? [00:12:35] Darryl Peek: Oh, no. I’m not looking at slides, by the way. [00:12:40] Vince Menzione: Let’s talk about marketplace. [00:12:42] Darryl Peek: All right? [00:12:42] Vince Menzione: Because we’ve had a lot of conversations about marketplace. We’ve got both vendors up here talking about marketplace and the importance of marketplace, right? You’ve been a Marketplace Award winner. We haven’t really talked about that, like that motion per se. [00:12:55] Vince Menzione: I’d love to s I’d love to hear from you like how you, a, what you had to overcome to get to marketplace, what the marketplace motion looks like for your organization, what a marketplace first motion looks like. ’cause a lot of your cut a. Are all your customers requiring a lot of direct selling effort or is it some of it through Marketplace? [00:13:14] Vince Menzione: Like how does it, how does that work for you? [00:13:15] Darryl Peek: So Elastic is a global organization. Yeah. So we’re, 40 different countries. So it depends on where we’re talking. So if we talk about our international business, which is our A PJ and EMEA business we are seeing a lot more marketplace and we’re seeing that those direct deals with customers. [00:13:28] Darryl Peek: Okay. And we’re talking about our mirror business. A significant amount goes through marketplace and where our customers are transacting with the marketplace and are listing. On the marketplace within public sector, it’s more of a resell motion. Okay. So we are working with our resellers. [00:13:39] Darryl Peek: So we work our primary distribution partner is Carahsoft. So you heard from Craig earlier. Yes. We have a strong relationship with Carahsoft and definitely a big fan of this organization. But in regards to how we do that and how we track it we are looking at better ways to, track that orchestration and consumption numbers in order to see not only what customers we’re working with, but how can we really accelerate that motion and really get those leads and transactions going. [00:14:03] Vince Menzione: Very cool. Very cool. And I think part of the reason why in, in the government or public sector space it has a lot to do with the commitments are different. Absolutely. So it’s not government agencies aren’t able to make the same level of commitments that, private sector organizations were able to make, so they were able to the Mac or Microsoft parlance and also a AWS’s parlance. [00:14:23] Vince Menzione: Yeah, [00:14:24] Darryl Peek: definitely a different dynamic. Yeah. And especially within the public sector. ’cause we have Gov Cloud to work with, right? That’s right. So we’re working with Microsoft or we’re working with AWS, they have their Gov cloud and then we Google, they don’t have a Gov cloud, but we still have to work with them differently. [00:14:35] Darryl Peek: Yeah. Within that space. That’s [00:14:36] Vince Menzione: right. That’s right. So it makes the motion a little bit differently there. So I think we talked through some of this. I just wanna make sure we cover our points [00:14:43] Darryl Peek: here. One thing I’ll do an aside, you talked about the acre of diamonds. I’m a big fan of that story. [00:14:47] Vince Menzione: Yeah, let’s talk about Russ Con. Yeah, [00:14:49] Darryl Peek: let’s talk about it. Do you all know about the Acre Diamonds? Have you all heard that story before? No. You have some those in the audience. [00:14:55] Vince Menzione: I, you know what, let’s talk about it. All [00:14:56] Darryl Peek: See, I’m from Philadelphia. [00:14:57] Vince Menzione: I didn’t know you were a family. My daughter went to Temple University. [00:14:59] Vince Menzione: Ah, [00:15:00] Darryl Peek: okay. That’s all I know. So Russell Conwell. So he was, a gentleman out of the Philadelphia area and he went around town to raise money and he wanted to raise money because he believed that there was a promise within a specific area. And as he continued to raise this money, he would tell a story. [00:15:14] Darryl Peek: And basically it was a story about a farmer in Africa. And the farmer in Africa, to make it really short was essentially looking to be become very wealthy. And because he wanted to become very wealthy, he believed that selling his farm and going off to a long distant land was the primary way for him to find diamonds. [00:15:28] Darryl Peek: And this farmer didn’t sold us. Sold his place, then went off to to this foreign land, and he ended up dying. And people thought that was the end of the story, but there was another farmer who bought that land and one time this big, and they called him the ot, came to the door and said you mind if I have some tea with you? [00:15:43] Darryl Peek: He said, all right, come on in. Have a drink. And as he had the drink, he looked upon the mantle and his mouth dropped. And then the farmer said what’s wrong? What do you say? He says, do you know what that is? No. He said no. Do you know what that is? He says, no. He said, that’s the biggest diamond I’ve ever seen, and the farmer goes. [00:16:01] Darryl Peek: That’s weird because there’s a bunch right in the back where I go grab my fruits and crops every day. So the idea of the acre diamonds and sometimes that you don’t need to go off to a far off land. It is actually sometimes right under your feet, and that is a story that helped fund the starting of Temple University. [00:16:16] Vince Menzione: I’m gonna need to take you at every single event so you can tell this story again. That’s an awesome job. Oh, I love it. And yeah, they founded a Temple University. Yeah. Which has become an incredible university. My daughter, like I said, my daughter’s a graduate, so we’re Temple fan. That’s great story. [00:16:31] Vince Menzione: That is a very cool, I didn’t realize you were a Philadelphia guy too, so that is awesome. Go birds. Go birds. All right, good. So let’s talk, I think we talked a little bit about your ecosystem approach, but maybe just a little bit more on this, like you said, like a lot of data, a lot of metrics but also a lot of these organizations also have to under understand the engineering side of things. [00:16:53] Vince Menzione: Oh, yeah. There’s a tremendous amount to become. Not everybody could just show up one day and become an elastic partner [00:16:58] Darryl Peek: absolutely. Absolutely. So take us [00:16:59] Vince Menzione: through that process. [00:17:00] Darryl Peek: Yeah. So one of the things that we are trying to mature and we have matured is our partner go to market. [00:17:06] Darryl Peek: So in order to join our partner ecosystem, you have to sign ’em through our partner portal. You have to sign our indirect reseller agreement. ’cause we do sell primarily within the public sector through distribution. And we only go direct if it is by exception. So you have to get justification through myself as well as our VP for public sector. [00:17:21] Darryl Peek: But we really do try to make sure that we can aggregate this because one thing that we have to monitor is terms and conditions. ’cause of course, working with the government, there’s a lot of terms and conditions. So we try to alleviate that by having it go through caresoft, they’re able to absorb some, so this way we can actually transact with the government. [00:17:36] Darryl Peek: In regards to the team though we try to really work closely with our solution architecture team. So this way we can develop clear enablement strategies with our partners so this way they know what it is we do, but also how to properly bring us up in a conversation. Also handle objections and also what are we doing to implement our solutions within other markets. [00:17:55] Darryl Peek: So those are things that we are doing as well as partner marketing. Top of funnel activity is really important, so we’re trying to differentiate what we’re doing with the field and field marketing. So you’re doing the leads and m qls and things of that nature also with partner marketing. So our partner marketing actually is driven by leads, but also we’re trying to transact. [00:18:10] Darryl Peek: And get Ps of which our partner deal registration. So that is how we align our partner go to market. And that is actually translating into our partner source outcomes. [00:18:18] Vince Menzione: And I think we have a slide that talks a little bit about your public sector partner strategy. [00:18:23] Darryl Peek: Oh yeah. Oh, I share that. So I thought maybe we could spin it. [00:18:25] Darryl Peek: Absolutely. [00:18:25] Vince Menzione: I know you we can’t see it, but they can. Oh, they can. Okay. Great. [00:18:29] Darryl Peek: There it’s there. [00:18:30] Vince Menzione: It’s career. [00:18:31] Darryl Peek: One thing, I think this was Einstein has said, if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. So that was the one thing. So I always was a big fan of creating a one page strategy. [00:18:39] Darryl Peek: And based on this one page strategy one of the things when I worked at Salesforce it was really about a couple things and the saying, okay, what are your bookings? And if you don’t have bookings, what does your pipeline look like? If you don’t have pipeline, what does your prospecting look like? [00:18:51] Darryl Peek: Yeah. If you don’t have prospecting what does your account plan look like? And if you don’t have an account plan, why are you here? Why are you here? Exactly. So those are the things that I really talk to my team about is just really a, it’s about bookings. It’s about pipeline. It’s about planning, enablement and execution. [00:19:05] Darryl Peek: It’s about marketing, branding and evangelism, and also about operational excellence and how to execute. Very cool. So being able to do that and also I, since I came from Salesforce, I talk to my team a lot about Salesforce hygiene. So we really talk about that a lot. So make, making sure we’re making proper use of chatter, but also as we talk about utilizing ai, we just try to. [00:19:21] Darryl Peek: How do we simplify that, right? So if we’re using Zoom or we’re using Google, how do we make sure that we’re capturing those meeting minutes, translating that, putting that into the system, so therefore we have a record of that engagement with that partner. So this is a continuous threat. So this way I don’t have to call my partner manager the entire time. [00:19:36] Darryl Peek: I can look back, see what actions, see what was discussed, and say, okay, how can we keep this conversation going? Because we shouldn’t have to have those conversations every time. I shouldn’t have to text you to say, give me the download on every partner. Every time. How do we automate that? And that’s really where you’re creating this context window with your Genive ai. [00:19:53] Darryl Peek: I think they said what 75% of organizations are using one AI tool. And I think 1% are mature in that. But also a number of organizations, it’s 90% of organizations are using generative AI tools to some degree. So we are using gen to bi. We do use a number of them. We have elastic GPT. Nice little brand there. [00:20:11] Darryl Peek: But yeah, we use that for not only understanding what’s in our our repositories and data lakes and data warehouses, but also what are some answers that we can have in regards to proposal responses, RP responses, RFI, responses and the like. [00:20:23] Vince Menzione: And you’re reaching out to the other LLMs through your tool? [00:20:26] Darryl Peek: We can actually interact with any LLM. So we are a LLM Agnostic. [00:20:29] Vince Menzione: Got it. Yep. That’s fantastic. And this slide is we’ll make this available if you don’t have a, yeah, have a chance. We’ll share it. I [00:20:36] Darryl Peek: am happy to share, yeah. And obviously happy to talk, reach out about it. Of, of course. I simplified it in order to account for you, but one of the things that I talk about is mission, vision of values. [00:20:45] Darryl Peek: And as we start with that is what is your mission now? How is anybody from Pittsburgh, anybody steal a fan? Oh wow. No, there’s a steel fan over [00:20:54] Vince Menzione: here. There’s one here. There’s a couple of ’em are out here. So I feel bad. [00:20:57] Darryl Peek: The reason why I put immaculate in there is for the immaculate reception, actually. [00:21:00] Darryl Peek: Yes. And basically saying that if you ever seen that play, it was not pretty at all. It was a very discombobulated play. Yeah. And I usually say that’s the way that you work with partners too, because when that deal doesn’t come in, when you gotta make a call, when you’re texting somebody at 11 o’clock at night, when you’re trying to get that at, right before quarter end. [00:21:17] Darryl Peek: Yeah. Before the end of it. It really is difficult, but it’s really creating that immaculate experience. You want that partner to come back. I know it’s challenging, but I appreciate how you leaned in with us. Yes, absolutely. I appreciate how you work with us. I appreciate how you held our hand through the process, and that’s what I tell my team, that we have to create that partner experience. [00:21:32] Darryl Peek: And maybe that’s a carryover from Salesforce, Dave. I don’t know. But also when we talk about enhancing or accelerating our partner. Our public sector outcomes that is really working with the customer, right? So customer experience has to be part of it. Like all of us have to be focused on that North star, and that is really how do we service the customer, and that’s what we choose to do. [00:21:48] Darryl Peek: But also the internal part. So I used to survey my team many moves ago, and I said, if we don’t get 80% satisfaction rate from our employees how do we get 60% satisfaction rate from our customers? Yeah. So really focus on that employee success and employee satisfaction. It’s so important, is very important. [00:22:03] Darryl Peek: So being able to understand what are the needs of your employees? Are you really addressing their concerns and are you really driving them forward? Are you challenging them? Are you creating pathways for progression? So those are things that I definitely try to do with my team. As well as just really encouraging, inspiring, yeah. [00:22:19] Darryl Peek: And just making sure that they’re having fun at the same time. [00:22:21] Vince Menzione: It shows up in such, I, there’s an airline I don’t fly any longer, and it was a million mile member of and I know it’s because of the way they treat their employees. [00:22:29] Vince Menzione: Because it cascades Right? [00:22:30] Darryl Peek: It does. Culture is important. [00:22:32] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Absolutely. [00:22:32] Darryl Peek: What is it? What Anderson Howard they say what col. Mark Andresen culture eat strategy for [00:22:37] Vince Menzione: breakfast. He strategy for breakfast? Yes. Very much this has been insightful.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 2 Januari 2026Bacaan: "Sebab itu kami tidak lagi menilai seorang juga pun menurut ukuran manusia. Dan jika kami pernah menilai Kristus menurut ukuran manusia, sekarang kami tidak lagi menilai-Nya demikian." (2 Korintus 5:16)Renungan: Suatu ketika ada seorang anak kecil yang berjualan bolpoin di sebuah bus kota. Anak ini terlihat sangat sederhana dan berasal dari keluarga yang kurang mampu. Dengan gigih anak ini menjajakan bolpoinnya kepada setiap penumpang yang sangat padat di dalam bus kota itu. Seorang pengusaha membeli bolpoin anak kecil itu dengan membayar uang Rp. 10.000,-. Si anak kecil itu belum sempat memberikan bolpoinnya karena situasi yang sangat berdesak-desakan di dalam bus, tapi si pengusaha sudah melompat keluar bus kota. Si anak kecil segera berusaha melompat juga keluar bus dan segera menghampiri si pengusaha, "Maaf Pak, ini bolpoin Bapak, dan ini kembaliannya. Saya mohon maaf Pak, tadi padat sekali di dalam bus. Saya tidak bisa segera memberikan bolpoin kepada Bapak." Pengusaha itu menjawab, "Tidak apa-apa Nak, kamu adalah seorang pengusaha seperti juga aku, kadang kala hal-hal yang seperti ini juga terjadi padaku. Dan kamu adalah seorang pengusaha yang bertanggung jawab." Bertahun-tahun telah lewat. Pada suatu acara sosial malam itu, seorang pemuda mendatangi seorang pengusaha dan berkata, "Pak, saya ingin mengingatkan kembali peristiwa beberapa tahun yang lalu. Saya adalah anak kecil yang pernah menjual bolpoin di bus kepada Bapak. Sekarang ini saya telah menjadi seorang pengusaha yang sukses. Saya berterima kasih kepada Bapak karena kata-kata Bapak yang mengatakan bahwa saya adalah seorang pengusaha yang bertanggung jawab. Kata-kata itu telah membuat saya menjadi percaya diri dan itu adalah modal terbesar saya. Kata-kata Bapak itu telah mendorong saya untuk berlaku sebagai seorang pengusaha yang jujur dan bertanggung jawab, dan inilah yang membawa saya terus naik di dalam menjalankan bisnis saya." Setiap kita bisa salah menilai orang, dan penilaian kita yang salah atau yang negatif, bisa memberikan dampak yang buruk kepada orang lain. Jika orang tersebut belum dewasa pemikirannya, maka penilaian atas dirinya yang negatif, bisa saja membentuk karakternya menjadi orang yang negatif juga. Dia bisa menjadi orang yang minder, tertutup, patah semangat, atau menjadi orang yang membenci semua orang dan pendendam. Rasul Paulus pun tidak luput dari masalah ini, ia pernah salah di dalam menilai Yesus. la menilai Yesus menurut ukuran manusia, bukan melihat dengan kacamata Tuhan. "Sebab itu, kami tidak lagi menilai seorang pun juga menurut ukuran manusia. Jika kami pernah menilai Kristus menurut ukuran manusia, sekarang kami tidak lagi menilai-Nya demikian." Mari kita belajar menilai orang lain sebagaimana Tuhan menilai kita, yaitu sebagai ciptaan-Nya yang berharga, yang layak dikasihi, sehingga Yesus mau mati bagi kita. Biarlah perkataan-perkataan kita selalu positif dan membangun orang lain, menumbuhkan semangat untuk melakukan hal-hal yang baik dan berguna. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, awasilah mulutku, berjagalah pada pintu bibirku. Biarlah perkataan-perkataanku senantiasa membangun dan menguatkan sesamaku. Amin. (Dod).

Comment faire pour vous faire remarquer en 2026 ?Oui, les relations publiques arrivent à percer le bruit médiatique et reviennent en force, sous les projecteurs, en 2026.J'ai eu envie d'explorer cet aspect que plusieurs ont sous-estimé ces dernières années.Pourtant, c'est exactement ce que les RP font depuis leur création : capter l'attention et couper à travers le bruit.Mais comme les humains cherchent sans cesse la nouvelle technologie qui réglera tous leurs problèmes, nous nous retrouvons aujourd'hui noyés sous le bruit et les contenus partagés en continu.Voici 5 aspects des relations publiques que je vous invite à explorer en 2026 pour vous démarquer.• Nous sommes saturés d'information, mais affamés de contenu crédibleEn 2026, tout est éphémère : stories, posts, vidéos courtes qui disparaissent en quelques heures.À l'inverse, un article rédigé par un journaliste, un reportage ou une entrevue ont une durée de vie beaucoup plus longue. Ils sont mieux référencés, partagés et cités.Les RP offrent de la profondeur dans un monde de surface.À tel point que même les tiktokeuses recrutent aujourd'hui des agences de relations publiques pour faire parler d'elles dans les grands médias. Un article dans ELLE ou le New York Times aura évidemment une durée de vie bien plus longue que n'importe quel contenu publié sur les médias sociaux.2. Les RP savent capter l'attention des bons relaisJournalistes et influenceurs sont plus sollicités que jamais.Les agences et les professionnels RP reconnus, comme nous à l'agence NATA PR, bénéficient d'un capital de confiance : on ouvre nos courriels, on nous lit, on nous répond.En 2026, la notoriété relationnelle vaut plus que le volume de messages envoyés.3. L'IA amplifie le bruit, mais renforce la valeur humaine des RPL'IA génère du contenu à l'infini.Résultat : plus de messages, moins d'impact.Ce que l'IA ne remplace pas :• la compréhension fine de l'actualité• le jugement éditorial• la relation humaine avec les médiasLes RP deviennent un filtre stratégique, pas un mégaphone comme les plateformes de médias sociaux.4. Les marques ont besoin de légitimité, pas seulement de visibilitéLa visibilité se paie. La crédibilité se construit.En 2026, les marques cherchent à être crues, pas seulement vues.Les relations publiques apportent :• une validation externe• de l'autorité• un storytelling ancré dans le réel5. Les RP créent des actifs durables, pas des coups d'éclatUn bon article rédigé par un journaliste, ce n'est pas juste une parution.Sa valeur est énorme, parce qu'il devient aussi :• un contenu réutilisable• une trace numérique durable• un levier pour la marque, les ventes et la réputationLes RP construisent sur le long terme, là où les tendances passent.En 2026, les relations publiques sont une réponse moderne et puissante à un monde trop bruyant.Et vous, qu'en pensez-vous ?Envie d'en savoir plus sur les relations publiques ?Inscrivez-vous à notre prochaine cohorte, qui débutera le 26 janvier 2026.Faire parler de vous dans la presse ➤ https://prschool.natapr.com/evergreen_frJe vous y enseigne des RP simplifiées, concrètes et faciles à mettre en œuvre.Pas certain que les RP soient pour vous ?

Wołodymyr Zełenski w Warszawie, po spotkaniu z Karolem Nawrockim mówił o bezpieczeństwie Europy, współpracy z Polską, historii i konieczności wspólnej obrony przed Rosją.Prezydent Ukrainy Wołodymyr Zełenski po spotkaniu z prezydentem RP Karolem Nawrockim w Pałacu Prezydenckim w Warszawie podkreślił strategiczne znaczenie relacji polsko-ukraińskich dla bezpieczeństwa całej Europy. Dziękował za zaproszenie, organizację wizyty oraz — jak mówił — długą i otwartą rozmowę, którą ocenił bardzo pozytywnie.Zełenski wyraził nadzieję, że wizyta otwiera „nową, jeszcze bardziej ważną stronę” w stosunkach Ukrainy i Polski. Zaznaczył, że oba państwa są nie tylko sąsiadami, ale „dwoma elementami Europy”, bez których w tej części kontynentu nie będzie wolności ani bezpieczeństwa. W jego ocenie niezależność Polski i Ukrainy jest fundamentem życia bez dominacji Moskwy.Prezydent Ukrainy mówił, że rozmowy z prezydentem Nawrockim dotyczyły zarówno wojny, jak i dyplomacji. Dziękował Polsce za „czujne wsparcie” udzielane Ukrainie od początku rosyjskiej inwazji. Wyraził wdzięczność byłemu prezydentowi RP Andrzejowi Dudzie oraz całemu narodowi polskiemu, przypominając, że Polska konsekwentnie wspiera Ukrainę od momentu odzyskania przez nią niepodległości w 1991 roku.Obrona Europy i współpraca wojskowaZełenski zachęcał Polskę do udziału w tzw. koalicji chętnych, podkreślając, że wspólne działania zadecydują o kształcie regionu po wojnie. Zaznaczył, że Ukraina nie tylko korzysta z pomocy, ale również dzieli się doświadczeniem zdobytym w czasie wojny. Mówił o ukraińskich technologiach ochrony ludności, produkcji nowoczesnej broni oraz gotowości do współpracy z Polską w zakresie obrony przed dronami, bezpieczeństwa morskiego i zagrożeń płynących z Białorusi. Zaprosił także prezydenta RP do złożenia wizyty w Ukrainie.Prezydent Ukrainy odniósł się również do wsparcia finansowego ze strony Unii Europejskiej, podkreślając, że zapewnia ono stabilność państwa. Zaznaczył, że jeśli Rosja będzie kontynuować wojnę, środki te zostaną przeznaczone na obronność, a jeśli dojdzie do jej zakończenia — na odbudowę. Podkreślił, że rosyjskie aktywa pozostają zamrożone i że Rosja powinna zapłacić za wojnę, którą sama rozpoczęła.Historia, pamięć i odbudowa relacjiW wystąpieniu pojawił się także wątek trudnej historii relacji polsko-ukraińskich. Zełenski zapewnił o szacunku Ukrainy dla polskiej pamięci historycznej i oczekiwaniu wzajemnego szacunku. Podkreślił, że każda ofiara tragicznych wydarzeń zasługuje na godne, „chrześcijańskie” upamiętnienie. Wskazał, że rozmowy dotyczyły również trwających prac ekshumacyjnych, które przynoszą pierwsze rezultaty, oraz współpracy instytutów pamięci obu krajów.Prezydent Ukrainy dziękował Polsce za przyjęcie ukraińskich uchodźców po rozpoczęciu pełnoskalowej inwazji. Zaznaczył, że mimo bolesnych doświadczeń historycznych polityka obu państw powinna opierać się na wzajemnym wsparciu. Ostrzegał, że bez niezależnej Ukrainy Rosja będzie dążyć do dalszej ekspansji w Europie, także kosztem Polski.Apel o jedność i odpowiedzialnośćNa zakończenie Zełenski podkreślił znaczenie odpowiedzialnej retoryki i opinii publicznej w obu krajach. Zaznaczył, że relacje między Polską a Ukrainą muszą pozostać silne, ponieważ Rosja — jak mówił — dąży do zniszczenia dobrych stosunków między oboma narodami, budowanych przez pokolenia. Wystąpienie zakończył apelem o jedność i słowami: „Sława Ukrainie!”

„To akt antysuwerennościowy”. Prawnik ostro o wyroku TSUE ws. polskiego TK

Radio Wnet

 Trybunał Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej orzekł, że polski Trybunał Konstytucyjny naruszył prawo UE, nie respektując wcześniejszych wyroków TSUE. Zdaniem trybunału w Luksemburgu, TK nie spełnia również standardów niezawisłego i bezstronnego sądu, ustanowionego zgodnie z prawem, ze względu na nieprawidłowości w powołaniu trzech sędziów oraz prezesa.Wyrok TSUE w pełni uwzględnia skargę Komisji Europejskiej, złożoną po orzeczeniach polskiego TK kwestionujących pierwszeństwo prawa unijnego nad prawem krajowym. Trybunał podkreślił, że państwo członkowskie nie może powoływać się na tożsamość konstytucyjną, aby uchylać się od zobowiązań wynikających z traktatów, w tym zasad państwa prawa, skutecznej ochrony sądowej i niezależności wymiaru sprawiedliwości.Do decyzji TSUE odniósł się na antenie Radia Wnet mecenas Bartosz Lewandowski, analizując jej skutki prawne i konstytucyjne dla Polski. Gość audycji od początku podkreślał, że rozstrzygnięcie TSUE nie było zaskoczeniem, a jego znaczenie należy rozpatrywać nie tyle w kategoriach prawnych, co politycznych.Tego orzeczenia należało się spodziewać po opinii rzecznika generalnego i zapowiedziach ministra Żurka. Trybunał Sprawiedliwości de facto kreuje sobie dodatkowe kompetencje, których nie otrzymał w traktatach– zaznacza doktor nauk prawnych.Lewandowski zwraca uwagę, że organy Unii Europejskiej – w tym TSUE – dysponują wyłącznie kompetencjami powierzonymi im przez państwa członkowskie w traktatach. Tymczasem, jak podkreśla, ocena sądu konstytucyjnego państwa członkowskiego nie została Unii nigdy przekazana.Kwestia sądownictwa konstytucyjnego nie była przedmiotem przekazania kompetencji. To klasyczne orzeczenie ultra vires, czyli wydane ponad kompetencje przyznane Trybunałowi w Luksemburgu– wskazuje prawnik.W ocenie mecenasa wyrok TSUE nie zmienia wprost polskiego porządku prawnego – ani konstytucji, ani ustaw – ale może wywołać skutki pośrednie, zwłaszcza w praktyce orzeczniczej.Ten wyrok nie zmienia nic w polskim ustawodawstwie ani w konstytucji. Natomiast może być wykorzystywany w ten sposób, że niektórzy sędziowie uznają, iż nie będą stosować orzeczeń Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, powołując się na orzecznictwo unijne– ocenia.Znacznie poważniejsze, zdaniem Lewandowskiego, są jednak konsekwencje polityczne. Jak zaznacza, decyzja TSUE może stać się pretekstem do podważania pozycji Trybunału Konstytucyjnego jako takiego.Czeka nas narracja polityczna, że należy rozwiązać Trybunał Konstytucyjny, wybrać wszystkich sędziów od nowa i w istocie ten Trybunał ubezwłasnowolnić. Już wcześniej mieliśmy precedens w postaci pozbawienia sędziów TK wynagrodzeń– przypomina.Lewandowski dodaje, że podobny spór o granice kompetencji Unii miał miejsce w Niemczech. W 2020 roku Federalny Trybunał Konstytucyjny zakwestionował jedno z orzeczeń TSUE jako wykraczające poza traktaty – i wówczas Komisja Europejska nie skierowała skargi przeciwko Berlinowi.Niemiecki Trybunał Konstytucyjny zrobił dokładnie to samo, co polski TK w 2021 roku. Uznał, że organy Unii nie mogą wykraczać poza kompetencje traktatowe. Wobec Niemiec nie było jednak takiej reakcji, jak wobec Polski– komentuje.W rozmowie pojawił się także wątek tzw. dublerów i powołania sędziów Trybunału Konstytucyjnego. Mecenas Lewandowski ocenia, że TSUE zastosował tu mechanizm „kaskadowy”, uznając, iż wyroki TK zostały wydane przez organ, który – w rozumieniu prawa unijnego – nie jest sądem.Zastosowano konstrukcję, według której orzeczenia nie zostały wydane przez sąd w rozumieniu prawa europejskiego. To bardzo daleko idąca teza, zwłaszcza jeśli zestawić ją z faktem, że TSUE uznaje notariuszy za sądy w rozumieniu prawa europejskiego– mówi.Zdaniem Lewandowskiego istota sporu nie dotyczy personaliów ani składu Trybunału, lecz fundamentalnej zasady pierwszeństwa konstytucji.Od 2005 roku orzecznictwo polskiego Trybunału Konstytucyjnego jest jednoznaczne: w przypadku kolizji prawa unijnego i konstytucji RP prymat ma konstytucja. TSUE mówi dziś coś dokładnie przeciwnego– zaznacza ekspert.Prawnik nie ukrywa, że w jego ocenie wyrok TSUE ma charakter antysuwerennościowy.To akt godzący w niepodległość państwa. Gra toczy się o coś znacznie więcej niż skład Trybunału Konstytucyjnego – chodzi o to, kto ma ostatnie słowo w sprawach ustrojowych– podkreśla.Na zakończenie rozmowy Lewandowski odniósł się do pytania o przyszłość i możliwe działania władz w Polsce. Jak podkreślił, państwo ma prawo – wzorem innych krajów UE – zakomunikować, że nie może zastosować się do orzeczenia wykraczającego poza traktaty.Tak robiły już Francja, Niemcy czy Dania. To nie jest nic nadzwyczajnego. Pytanie brzmi, czy Polska zdecyduje się z tej możliwości skorzystać– dodaje./fa

Même si le web, les médias sociaux, l'IA et toutes les technologies qui transforment notre métier à une vitesse folle modifient nos outils, nos méthodes et nos plateformes, il reste une chose qui, elle, ne change pas.Nous essayons toujours, fondamentalement, de toucher des humains.De leur faire découvrir une histoire, une idée, un produit, un service… et peut-être, éventuellement, de leur donner envie d'y adhérer.Ce qui nous distingue en relations publiques, ce n'est pas seulement notre capacité à rédiger un communiqué ou à trouver un bon angle.C'est notre capacité intrinsèque à tisser des liens véritables.Alors aujourd'hui, je vous propose trois raisons très simples pour lesquelles le mot « relation » est véritablement le socle de notre profession.• La relation avant la conversionOn compare souvent les RP à la vente, et pour une bonne raison : les deux disciplines reposent sur un pilier commun, la relation.Les meilleurs vendeurs ne pensent pas en termes de transactions. Ils pensent en termes de liens.En relations publiques, c'est exactement la même dynamique.Un journaliste revient vers vous parce qu'il sait qu'il peut compter sur vous. Il sait que :• vous fournissez de l'information précise,• vous répondez rapidement,• vous êtes professionnel dans vos suivis,• vous respectez les délais,• et vous comprenez ses besoins éditoriaux.Autrement dit : vous ne lui faites pas perdre de temps.Cette qualité relationnelle transforme un premier « oui » en une série d'opportunités.Et c'est là que les RP se distinguent des autres disciplines : la relation est le moteur de la visibilité durable.2. La relation comme antidote au bruitAujourd'hui, les journalistes, producteurs, influenceurs sont noyés dans une mer de messages.Ils reçoivent des dizaines, parfois des centaines de sollicitations par jour.• Alors pourquoi ouvrent-ils votre courriel plutôt qu'un autre? • Pourquoi lisent-ils votre angle? • Pourquoi vous rappellent-ils?Parce qu'un lien existe.Une relation, agit comme un filtre naturel dans un paysage saturé.Elle ajoute de la crédibilité à votre message. Elle fait en sorte que votre courriel n'est pas juste… un courriel de plus.Avec relation, on traverse le bruit.C'est pour cela que les RP demeurent aussi pertinentes à l'ère des algorithmes : elles s'appuient sur quelque chose qu'aucune technologie ne peut remplacer : le lien humain.3. La relation comme valeur durableLa publicité achète des résultats immédiats. Les RP construisent un actif.Une relation solide ne s'éteint pas lorsque la campagne se termine.Un journaliste peut penser à vous six mois plus tard pour un dossier.Un influenceur peut parler de votre marque sans que vous lui ayez demandé, simplement parce qu'il apprécie votre approche.C'est ça, la valeur durable des relations publiques.Ce capital relationnel, discret, invisible, mais extrêmement puissant, crée de la récurrence, de la confiance et de la mémorisation.Et ce capital-là n'a pas de prix.La relation, notre super-pouvoirAu fond, si les RP restent essentielles malgré tous les bouleversements technologiques, c'est parce qu'elles reposent sur ce que les humains ont de plus précieux : les liens de confiance.La technologie évolue, les plateformes changent, mais la relation, elle, demeure.Et tant qu'il y aura des humains pour écouter, questionner, raconter, les relations publiques auront une place, une place stratégique, solide et profondément humaine.Et si vous souhaitez apprendre à créer un bon communiqué vendeur ou concevoir un pitch qui ouvre des portes, je vous invite à participer à mon prochain atelier sur le communiqué le 17 décembre 2025 – ce sera le dernier cette année.ATELIER SUR LE COMMUNIQUÉ ➤ https://event.webinarjam.com/nv6or/register/45q4zsxwINFOLETTRE ➤ www.natapr.comN'hésitez pas à me contacter nata@natapr.comNataLE MODÈLE NATA PR GRATUIT ➤ https://prschool.natapr.com/Le-Modele-NATA-PRINSTAGRAM ➤ https://www.instagram.com/nata_pr_school/

 Biuro Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego poinformowało w sobotę o przywróceniu do obiegu publicznego Raportu Państwowej Komisji do spraw badania wpływów rosyjskich na bezpieczeństwo wewnętrzne RP w latach 2007–2022. Dokument, opublikowany pierwotnie 29 listopada 2023 roku, został następnie usunięty ze strony Kancelarii Prezesa Rady Ministrów w styczniu 2024 roku, po objęciu władzy przez Donalda Tuska.Raport dotyczy kontaktów Służby Kontrwywiadu Wojskowego z Federalną Służbą Bezpieczeństwa Federacji Rosyjskiej w latach 2010–2014 i opisuje je jako studium przypadku rosyjskiej operacji wpływu.W Poranku Radia Wnet do treści raportu odniósł się Arkadiusz Puławski, zastępca dyrektora gabinetu szefa BBN, który zasiadał w Państwowej Komisji do spraw badania wpływów rosyjskich, kierowanej przez prof. Sławomira Cenckiewicza.To jest raport, który został przywrócony do obiegu publicznego. To był raport, który zbadał wpływy rosyjskie w Polsce, objawiające się pewną operacją dezinformacyjną, operacją wpływu przeprowadzoną przez rosyjskie służby specjalne, a konkretnie przez Federalną Służbę Bezpieczeństwa– wskazał.Puławski wskazywał, że komisja oceniła działania rosyjskich służb jako możliwe właśnie dlatego, że polski kontrwywiad nie zachował elementarnej czujności.Oceniliśmy, że w okresie 2010–2014 Rosjanie mogli przeprowadzić taką operację dezinformacyjną na polskim kontrwywiadzie, dlatego że ówczesne kierownictwo kontrwywiadu wojskowego na to pozwoliło i weszło otwarcie we współpracę– powiedział.Jak podkreślał, problemem nie był jeden błąd ani jedna osoba, lecz systemowy brak nadzoru.Jeżeli mnie pani pyta, czy był jeden winny, to jednego winnego tego bałaganu nie było. Panował po prostu bałagan– podsumował.W jego ocenie odpowiedzialność spoczywała również na ówczesnym kierownictwie politycznym państwa.Nadzór polityczny – premier, minister obrony narodowej i koordynator służb specjalnych – nie bardzo interesowali się tą sprawą i nie uznali, że ma ona jakąś wagę– wskazał.Puławski zwrócił uwagę na finał tej współpracy, który uznał za szczególnie niebezpieczny.Kilka lat współpracy zostało zwieńczone porozumieniem o współpracy i współdziałaniu w zakresie kontrwywiadu wojskowego, które było haniebne i nigdy nie powinno być przyjęte przez oficera polskich służb– zaznaczył.Jak dodał, dokument ten godził w podstawowe interesy państwa.Nakładało ono na polską służbę obowiązek informowania Rosjan o działaniach wywiadowczych prowadzonych na terytorium RP przez służby państw NATO. To było absolutnie sprzeczne z naszymi interesami strategicznymi– podsumował.Raport Państwowej Komisji ds. badania wpływów rosyjskich na bezpieczeństwo wewnętrzne RP w latach 2007-2022 można znaleźć pod tym LINKIEM./fa

In Part 1 of his annual Holiday Gift Guide, Dennis talks to creative entrepreneurs Jackie Beat and Brian Gryphon. First up, is drop dead gorgeous, larger than life, world famous drag superstar Jackie Beat who, earlier this year, happened upon an artistic side-hustle in the most unlikely of places: Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. The discount store was selling 12" by 12" art prints featuring an oddly-hued rainbow over the word "Together." Jackie found the image both tacky and earnest so she bought a bunch of them and turned them into subversive, one-of-kind art pieces that say things like Let's spitroast a twink together, Let's have anonymous sex together, Let's be super gay together, Let's like dogs more than people together and many more. She also takes commissions where she'll put whatever you want on there. E-mail her directly to buy and inquire at MissJackieBeat@gmail.com And to learn about where you can catch her Christmas show, visit: www.missjackiebeat.com Dennis's second guest, Brian Gryphon, is a graphic designer who, among his many creations, has designed a fabulous deck of oracle cards inspired by the pioneering queer musical duo Romanovsky and Phillips. Each hexagon-shaped card features a different R&P lyric, chosen to help you along your way. Brian talks about how he first became a fan of the duo, getting to know them in real life and why their music speaks to him. He also talks about his need to express himself and does so in a way that resonates with Dennis and so many past Dennis Anyone guests. Brian's need to create is something he can't deny, so he often asks himself the question: "I have to create it. Can I be happy with not sharing it?"  To learn more about Brian and order his oracle decks and other offerings, visit www.DigitalGryphon.com

Now 27, she's experienced the full progression of RP—from night blindness in childhood to using a cane in high school, to a rapid transition in 2018 that left her almost completely without vision within months. Her introduction to Nordic skiing came in 2019 while attending the Carroll Center for the Blind in Boston. After taking a semester off college to learn how to navigate life without sight, she got involved with New England Ski for Light. The following year, she reached out to BethAnn Chamberlain, the US Para Nordic development coach and is pursuing that sport, She is also attending her third The Hartford Ski Spectacular in Breckenridge, Colorado this month.

Guided by the Ubuntu idea that “I am because you are,” he values community and collective work. Harry notes that ELT is becoming more context-sensitive and globally connected, and he advocates for deeper engagement with multilingualism and how languages enrich one another. Seeing language as a tool rather than a product, he argues for assessment that recognises meaningful, culturally situated communication instead of standard RP norms. Though he never sought leadership, relationships led him there, and he views education as a calling rooted in care, mentorship, and human connection.Harry at the University of Birmingham: https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/education/staff/profile?Name=dr-harry-kuchah-kuchah&ReferenceId=206555Harry's Plenary Session on 'Teaching English in Difficult Circumstances at 2015 IATEFL Conference in Manchester: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/news-and-events/iatefl-online/2015/plenary-harry-kuchah  Harry's contribution to the British Council Podcast series ‘Our World Connected'  on the theme: What role does English play in our multilingual world? https://www.britishcouncil.org/research-insight/our-world-connected-podcast/english-multilingual-worldHarry's autobiographical chapter in Alan Maley's open access edited book is available here: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/publications/case-studies-insights-and-research/developing-expertise-through-experienceThe Publication from the Africa ELTA Teacher Research mentoring programme can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UIKoFKdwynMvNs4Mj5FyaZZioMgwwBPE/viewTo find the complete archive of Developod episodes, go to tdsig.org/developod-tdsigs-podcast

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart podcast, host Dr. Karen Litzy is joined by Liane Wood, RP, a seasoned entrepreneur and registered psychotherapist. They discuss the transition from clinician to CEO, focusing on the mindset and identity shifts required. Liane shares her journey from running insurance brokerages to becoming a psychotherapist and eventually helping others build thriving private practices. The conversation covers the importance of systems, niching, and value-based pricing, as well as overcoming perfectionism and burnout.   Takeaways   Transitioning from clinician to CEO requires significant mindset shifts. Building systems in practice saves time, energy, money, and stress. Niching helps therapists attract the right clients. Value-based pricing focuses on transformation rather than time.

BT & Sal are joined by former New York Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist and Dr. Jonathan Salik to raise urgent awareness about Recurrent Pericarditis (RP), a chronic and often misdiagnosed heart disease. Lundqvist details how RP forced his retirement following open-heart surgery, calling the condition a major "life disrupted." The King also weighs in on the current Rangers squad, addressing their embarrassing zero-goal start at home and reflecting on the frustration of his own career, where he often carried deficient offensive teams. The hosts conclude by placing Lundqvist on New York's "Mount Rushmore of Heartbreak," alongside greats like Patrick Ewing and Don Mattingly—legends revered for their greatness but lacking a championship ring.

Fantasy Baseball Live – September 14, 2025Microsoft Teams:PodcastSunday, September 14, 20253:00 PM - 4:30 PM1.The Angels fire Phil Nevin after deciding to not pick up his option for next season. The Angels are in a spiral and are just not getting better. Do you see that changing anytime soon?2.Connelly Early got the call this week for the Red Sox and shoved it against the Athletics. He pitched five shutout innings, striking out 11.a.Thoughts on him for the next few weeks to end the season.b.Payton Tolle has not been very good since he burst onto the scene two weeks ago. Could the same thing happen to Early?c.Jonah Tong also fell back to earth on his second outing against the Reds, giving up four runs in six innings with 6 strikeouts and four walks. And then, got annihilated over the weekend with six earned runs in 2/3 of an inning.d.Order these three young pitchers for the rest of the season and next season?3.Speaking of young pitchers, Cade Horton has been very good this season. He won his 10th game this week, posting a 2.70 ERA but is only striking out just over seven per nine – he has 89 strikeouts in 110 innings. How do you view him for next season? He's a Top ___________ pitcher.4.First, it was Jasson Dominguez losing playing time for the Yankees, and now Anthony Volpe. Who do you feel more confident rostering for next season – Dominguez or Volpe?5.Kyle Tucker hits the IL at the worse time. Moises Ballesteros gets the call. Any interest?6.Rhys Hoskins is finally back but has only gotten one at-bat over his first two games. Is he going to play full-time or just be a guy off the bench with the recent play of Andrew Vaughn?7.Arizona Fall League Previewa.I wrote a large post on Thursday of all the ranked players attending. We will discuss some of the players and who you are looking forward to seeing how they do?8.Listener Questions:a.Mac - Hey Rich, I'd be interested in yalls thoughts on Elly De La Cruz second half of the season? While he has been known to be streaky player the lack of home runs and even his normal stealing pace (past week he has started to get some again) during the second half has been bit confusing. Thanks!b.Collins - Should the Dodgers let Ohtani just come in as a RP in the playoffs and be a shutdown backend bullpen arm? c.Collins - FYPD: Roki was the consensus top pick last year. Of course, I took him. The next two top picks a year ago were Condon and Bazzana. How's that working out? Not great so far. With so many more top picks performing in the top round last year, how did a lot of us miss this, just bad luck or what? (Thinking of Kurtz, Burns, Cam, Cags, etc)d.David - Is O'Neil Cruz a bust at this point?e.Hoppy - Who's your favourite (and least favourite) fantasy baseball player of all time?f.Hoppy - find my interest levels go through natural ups and downs during the season, but no matter what happens in season I always seem come back with renewed vigour preseason, when prospect lists are published and drafts start again. Do you have the same experience and have you ever had thoughts about (gasp!) giving up fantasy baseball?g.Nick - When working a Dynasty League where you can keep anyone you want for any amount of time, what is the cut off of your rankings that you are willing to throw them back into the draft to see what else you can get? Top 300? Top 15 at position? And does that differ slightly on age, like willing to keep someone who is a lot younger or not so much older?i.Context: I am in a 12 team Dynasty league with normal roster positions, with a 15 person minor league roster in CBS. I find myself sometimes keeping too many players so I really only change over 1 or 2 on the active roster, then struggle to figure out who to cut when a prospect gets called up and wonder if I should cut more people out the gate to take some risks, to be willing to cut them for prospects.h.Tim - What are you doing with these last couple of faab periods to prepare your team for next year? 9.What one or two hitters are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?10.What one or two pitchers are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
