By Adam Turteltaub One of the more well-attended sessions at the SCCE 22nd Annual Compliance & Ethics Institute, promises to be “ESG and DEI: How to Position for Stakeholder Success”. The session will be lead by Adrian Taylor, Director of Diversity, Premier Health; Ahmed Salim, Chief Compliance Officer, iRhythym; and Nakis Urfi, Product Compliance Officer, Babylon Health. ESG and DEI are two of the hottest issues in compliance, and in this podcast preview of their session they start by taking on a controversial topic: Should DEI and ESG be combined? Traditionally, DEI has been its own discipline. Many now argue it should considered a part of the S (Social) in ESG, while others feel that doing so would diminish the emphasis on DEI. Ideally, DEI should not be affected by being included in ESG, they say. If handled correctly, it can maintain its focus and management commitment and even strengthen ESG efforts. When the two are aligned they create a more sustainable business model that balances people, profit and planet. Together they can also help foster engagement with stakeholders, improve culture, encourage greater accountability, and help the company's reputation. To be successful, Nakis, Ahmed and Adrian argue, organizations need to manage four key challenges of ESG ratings: A limited focus on DEI Having accurate, valid data A lack of standardization Subjectivity All of these can lead to ratings that are more judgement scores than a true measure of an organization's commitment to DEI and ESG. Listen in to learn more, including how to identify data that is truly useful for measuring your organization's DEI and ESG success. Then, don't miss their session at the SCCE 22nd Annual Compliance & Ethics Institute.

By Adam Turteltaub ESG, or Environmental Social and Governance efforts, may not be a mandate quite yet for healthcare providers, but already there are heavy demands for ESG-related information from regulators, the public and bondholders. As organizations pull together the data they need to report, says Rebekuh Eley and Rick Kes of RSM, it's important to make sure that you have a thoughtful process behind it so that the data is accurate, consistent and complete. The last thing an organization wants is to have faulty data. At the same time, many organizations only scratch the surface of what they can take credit for in terms of increasing health equity for the communities they serve or improving their environmental footprint. That information can be helpful in meeting federal tax compliance requirements. While some may see ESG as something new and different, they note that community health is squarely under the S (Social) aspect of ESG. Keeping a good score on your ESG efforts can help demonstrate that your organization is meeting its obligations to the community and 501(r) requirements. It can also earn you credit for your environmental and governance efforts, including the number of community members who are on your board.

Are you keeping your children home from early childhood learning or education programs because of the pandemic? Are you concerned that they may not be developing the skills they need while at home? If so, tune in this week to learn what you can do to support your young children’s social and emotional learning and development while at home.   Many of us are working from home or keeping our children home to protect our families from the coronavirus. While children are at home, they likely do not have the same social interactions and learning experiences that they would have at their early childhood education program. Fortunately, Sheila Williams Ridge, Director of the Shirley G. Moore Laboratory School at the University of Minnesota, has tips to help our children stay on track developmentally.   On behalf of Help Me Grow MN, Ridge shares wise insights based on her many years of experience in early childhood. Tune in to learn what you can do to support your young children’s social and emotional learning and development, including opportunities for safe socialization with peers, online resources, and simple things you can do at home to keep your children's development on track. Rest assured that being home will not limit your children's learning and development. You and your family play an important role in this critical time in your children's development.   WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO SUPPORT YOUR YOUNG CHILDREN'S SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL LEARNING AT HOME? What are you doing to make the most of this time at home? How have you helped your children stay connected to and continue to learn from their peers? What new activity will you try this week to support your young children's development?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT? ❉ 1000 Hours Outside. Kids spend more than a 1000 hours per year on screens. Let's change that into time outdoors with helpful suggestions from 1000 Hour Outside.   ❉ Very Well Family. Check out this helpful resources for tips from pregnancy to parenting.   ❉ HighScope at Home. This is an excellent source for tips on helping your family continue early childhood education at home.   ❉ The Three C's: Competence, Contribution, and Connection. Research and community wisdom converge to point the way to essential experiences that allow children and youth to grow up to be caring, responsible adults. Even in the face of high-risk conditions, these "three Cs" can serve as important protective factors that enable children to rise above risk. So where are the opportunities for children to experience these three Cs at each stage of their development? And what can each of us do in our own families, communities, and workplaces to ensure that all children have enough of the three Cs to see them through?   ❉ The Ultimate List of Age-Appropriate Chores. Are you wondering what chores your children can do at different ages? Well, here is the list. Doing chores helps children build competence and a sense of contribution (two of the Three C's mentioned above).

In summary, the US dollar's value is determined by S - Social assessment (class and race divisions) which is primarily determined by its G - Government assessment (capability and leadership). Investment and Trading Plan If a surprise event comes up - like a bad ending to the war in Afghanistan - that leads to protests in the US and a decline in the Social assessment, then the US dollar is a solid short. If other bad Government actions/decisions drives Social lower, then the USD is a very solid short. Conversely, if Joe Biden maintains strong social cohesion and pulls the country together after Mr. Trump leaves office with a solid plan that the country buys into, then the dollar is all set to be steady to up. In MacroESG speak, if strong G leads to steady to strong S - then the USD is a buy. www.macroesg.com #macroesg @gregbeier --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/macro-esg/message

We welcome back Mr. Rick Verkerk as guest to Wilderness Wanderings. He continues his five-part series on praying for others. So, we've learned about the importance of intercessory prayer – praying for others, why we should and who and what we can pray for. Today I have some thoughts on HOW we can intercede for others. Ready to stand in the gap for others? When you start thinking about who you can pray for, the list is probably long and then and what prayer needs you know for each person just lengthens the list to the point of possibly overwhelming you. Keep in mind that God already knows all the people on your list and all their needs. Ask God to reveal to you who and what to intercede for. “Listen” carefully to the Holy Spirit and open to hearing his voice continually while you are connecting with someone. In the meantime, pray for family, friends, neighbours and coworkers and follow this template if you need help to get started. Use the five letters of the word BLESS to help you remember ways to intercede for them. B Body – pray for health, protection, strength, fitness (Matthew 6:33) L Labour – pray for jobs, income, financial security (Colossians 3:23-24) E Emotional – pray for joy, peace, patience, self-control (Isaiah 26:3) S Social – pray for marriage, family, friends, love, forgiveness (Ephesians 4:32) S Spiritual – pray for salvation, spiritual growth, grace, hope (Psalm 34:8) This is known as the BLESSing Prayer and it is simply a guideline for intercession to start building the walls as you stand in the gap. The Bible also requires us to intercede for people who are not saved. Reading 1 Timothy 2:1-4,  “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” How can we pray for those who are unsaved? Pray that: the unsaved will be drawn by the Father. (John 6:44) those who hear the gospel will understand it. (Matthew 13:19) unbelievers' eyes will be opened so that they can see the light. (2 Corinthians 4:4) Would you care more if the unsaved are your own children or family members? All unsaved persons are wayward sons and daughters of God's family. God does not want “anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) Let's get praying!

Creative destruction occurs when a disruptive industry supplants a legacy industry, causing the loss of some jobs and the creation of others. Marc explains the need to get ahead of the disruptions in your industry, using examples from industrial giants who quickly became insignificant or who vanished as a result of unexpected market or social movements. Marc shares current technological changes and views of more drastic changes soon to come.   Listen in for a sample of the helpful advice in the new edition of Repurpose Your Career.   Key Takeaways: [1:14] Marc welcomes you to Episode 123 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Career Pivot brings you this podcast. CareerPivot.com is one of the very few websites dedicated to those of us in the second half of life and our careers. Take a moment to check out the blog and the other resources delivered to you, free of charge. [1:44] If you are enjoying this podcast, please share it with other like-minded souls. Subscribe on CareerPivot.com, iTunes, or any of the other apps that supply podcasts. Share it on social media or just tell your neighbors, and colleagues. The more people they reach, the more people they can help.[2:06] Next week, Marc will be interviewing Patti Temple Rocks, author of I’m Not Done: It's Time to Talk About Ageism in the Workplace, a great book on ageism. Marc thinks you will like this great interview. [2:20] If you are a regular listener to this show, you probably noticed that Marc has stopped talking about the next edition of his book, Repurpose Your Career. Susan Lahey and Marc are back on track and a draft of the third edition just got sent to the copy editor. [2:35] Marc’s plan is to release the third edition of the book in September of this year. [2:41] This week, Marc will read the pre-release chapter, “Learn to Embrace Creative Destruction.” He plans to release this chapter in PDF form to the review team within a week. [2:54] If you are interested in being on the release team and get early access to chapters in the new edition, go to careerpivot.com/rycteam. Marc hopes you enjoy this episode.[3:12] The pre-release chapter of “Learn to Embrace Creative Destruction.” In his book, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder, writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb explains the problem of turkeys. A butcher feeds a turkey for 1,000 days. Every day that that turkey’s life remains constant confirms the surety of his current existence. [3:40] “This is the way it goes. This is the way it has always gone. This is the way it always will go.” All of the data confirms that butchers love turkeys. The turkey can rest confident in this idea because he has 999 days of benevolent treatment to back it up. [4:01] Then, a few days before Thanksgiving, everything in his worldview is upturned. This is what Taleb calls a ‘black swan event.’ All of the evidence proves it can’t happen, until it does. [4:16] The truth is that this is the normal course of things in human existence. A sudden rain shower hits the picnic. A car accident ruins travel plans. A financial windfall or unexpected romance changes your trajectory. Death comes unexpectedly. This is how life is. [4:36] In the world of work, the force behind these changes is often the power of creative destruction. One thing is destroyed and another is created. The turkey’s life is over. Dinner is served. [4:52] If the change is in our favor, we think it’s a good change. If the change is not in our favor, we think it’s a bad change. Regardless of how we feel about it, though, it’s going to happen. We need not be taken by surprise, like the turkey. [5:10] I was listening to a rebroadcast of a Freakonomics Radio podcast called “How Safe Is Your Job?” The hosts were talking about pianos. In 1905, they said, 400,000 pianos were made in America. If you wanted music in your house, you learned to play the piano. [5:31] The phonograph had been created 30 years before, in 1877 but phonograph sales didn’t take off until 1915. A decade later, the radio became popular. Then, eventually, the tape player, the eight-track, the CD player, and streaming and… [5:49] Today only about 30,000 pianos are made each year, about eight percent of the number made in 1905. [5:58] Each new iteration of musical enjoyment was a form of creative destruction. Each caused people in the previous industry to lose jobs or pivot. [6:09] In 1975, an employee of the Kodak company created a digital camera. But instead of developing it, Kodak concluded it was a non-starter because they didn’t think people wanted to look at their pictures on their TVs. So the company continued on focusing on chemical film until it became clear that they had bet on the wrong horse. [6:31] In 2001, Kodak had the second-most-popular digital camera on the market but lost $60 on every sale. A decade later, Kodak declared bankruptcy. [6:47] In these cases, creative destruction took 20, 30, or 40 years to bring down one giant and birth another. Now, that pace is accelerating. [6:58] Amazon.com was founded in 1994 and, initially, just sold books. They were credited with the demise of several brick-and-mortar bookselling chains. Over the next 11 years, Amazon moved into retailing pretty much everything and by 2015, it passed Walmart to be the most valuable retailer in the world, by market capitalization. [7:24] It took them and their online retail competitors only a few years to bring down what had been a staple of the world economy, the brick-and-mortar store. [7:36] In 2018, Amazon started buying surviving brick-and-mortar retailers, including Whole Foods, presumably to collect data on people who still shop there and further strengthen their market presence. [7:50] Now, Amazon is opening brick-and-mortar stores around the country, including convenience and book stores. They’re remaking retail, Amazon-style. [8:00] The iPhone was created only 11 years ago, in 2007, but at that time, I used my phone for talking to people. [8:10] Today, this is what I use my phone for: the weather report from the Weather Channel app; manage my social media with LinkedIn and Twitter. I removed the Facebook app after the last presidential elections. [8:23] I take and view pictures, edit files in Google Drive or Dropbox, communicate with clients over Skype, check scores on the ESPN app, find my keys, using the Tile app, listen to podcasts and audiobooks (as I no longer listen to the radio), find the new coffee shop via Google Maps or Apple Maps, … [8:45] … enter the YMCA by swiping the barcode in the YMCA app, manage multiple credit cards and bank accounts, show the police officer my proof of insurance via the State Farm app, check airline schedules to see if my son’s flight home is on time, … [9:04] … search Google to answer the question my wife just asked me, and watch House Hunters International on HGTV via the Sling TV app. Oh, and a lot of people use them to listen to music. [9:17] Because of the technology we have now, everything is being reimagined, reconfigured, reinvented, at a pace our parents never could have conceived of. One way to say it is the world is being ‘SMACed.’ [9:38] S = Social media: LinkedIn Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Snapchat. Today, people go to social media for everything. It’s the U.S. Mail, the telephone, the photo album, the gossip chain, the opinion column, the news, the entertainment, education, and job board, all rolled in one. [10:02] It’s also one place employers go to find you and find out whether you are the kind of candidate they want. [10:10] M = Mobile. Roughly 60% of adults get their news on a mobile device. According to the research by the Pew Research Foundation, mobile apps track our behavior and our preferences as well as give us a means to pay for things. People use mobile devices to shop, to bank, and to date. [10:32] If your career isn’t mobile-friendly, you will be left in the dust. [10:39] A = Analytics. More data has been collected in the last few years than was collected in the previous century. A lot of it is coming voluntarily from our activities via social media and mobile. [10:55] How we shop, where we shop, what we pay with, where we go online, and even how long it takes to get somewhere are some of the things that inform this data. Do you remember the movie, Minority Report, where Tom Cruise walks through the mall and hyper-customized ads display everywhere? [11:15] Analytics will affect how you are hired. [11:19] C = Cloud. Cloud is changing everything in the technology world. Most of the major technology hardware vendors are seeing portions of their business collapse because data isn’t being stored on their hardware. It’s being stored in the Cloud. [11:39] A classic example is IBM, who missed the shift and is seeing massive changes in their business. Their hardware business is collapsing. Cloud computing is sometimes referred to as SaaS or Software as a Service. [11:55] With SaaS, you don’t have to buy a disc. You don’t have to save data on your computer. You don’t have to have a photo album or a filing cabinet. You can keep everything in the Cloud. [12:10] Also, you can get services in the Cloud, rather than hiring someone to do them, like bookkeeping, record keeping, customer relationship management, and marketing. [12:19] You can book travel on the Cloud, make appointments in the Cloud, even hold conversations in the Cloud. SMAC is a representation of what we’ve long called the Robot Invasion. Articles have said for decades that robots are going to take our jobs. And SMAC is robots doing just that. [12:40] Some people assume the jobs robots can do are severely limited. I’m here to say, “Nope.” [12:48] Surprising jobs a robot can do: journalism. [12:52] An article in Wired called, “What News-Writing Bots Mean to the Future of Journalism,” leads with “When Republican Steve King beat back Democratic challenger Kim Weaver in the race for Iowa’s 4th District seat in November, the Washington Post snapped into action, covering both the win and the wider electoral trend.” [13:15] “‘Republicans retain the control of the House and lost only a handful of seats from their commanding majority,’ the article read, ‘a stunning reversal of fortune after many GOP leaders feared double-digit losses.’” [13:30] “The dispatch came with the clarity and verve for which Post reporters are known, with one key difference: It was generated by Heliograf, a bot that made its debut on the Post’s website last year and marked the most sophisticated use of artificial intelligence in journalism to date.” [13:52] Any type of writing that is based on data can be replaced with automation and robots. In fact, artificial intelligence is working to take over creative writing, too. Another piece, in the Observer, is called “Will Robots That Can Write Steal Your Creative Job?” [14:12] The author writes, “So, could the machines eventually begin to analyze popular fiction and start to come up with all new narratives that fit our tastes? Indeed, to ever more narrow tastes? We have already seen greater individuation in fiction as the e-book market has made shelf space infinite.” [14:36] “Before e-books took off, novels about werewolves were already a healthy little Fantasy and Science Fiction sub-genre. Since e-books, though, billionaire werewolf romance novels are now a thing.” [14:52] Automation robots will have an incredible impact on medical professions. If a doctor wants an EKG, he can record it on your smartphone app. All of your medical data will be digitized, including X-ray images, CT Scans, and MRIs. [15:12] The Economist produced a special report called “Automation and Anxiety,” which discussed the impact on medicine of deep learning. A product from Enlitic can outperform doctors in reading diagnostic images. [15:27] It’s not just the images are sent to places like India or China to be evaluated by doctors who are paid less but automation and robots are actually doing the work that doctors have always done. [15:40] Jobs are being eliminated in retail at an alarming rate. Retail giants like Sears have shed legacy brands such as Craftsman and Lands End in an effort to survive. Many specialty chains are failing, like Tailored Brands (TLRD), owner of stores like Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank. [16:05] Amazon is opening up stores like Amazon Go, where people can do their whole shopping trip without interacting with a single person. As the “Fight for Fifteen” movement works to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, one of the unintended consequences will be the deployment of automation and robots. [16:25] I’m already seeing fast food chains rolling out mobile apps and kiosks where you can order your food and never have to speak to a person. [16:35] I’m seeing lots of requests for career middle managers in the retail segment looking for assistance in getting out of the industry. A 2018 study by PWC predicts that nearly 40% of jobs in the U.S. may be vulnerable to replacement by robots in the next 15 years. [16:54] Hopefully, I’ve demonstrated to you that professions that one would have thought would be immune to automation and robots are at risk. Similarly, if the industry where you are working is at risk, you must be on the lookout. [17:10] If you think you are safe from automation and robots sabotaging your career, you must be smoking something! And yes, you are inhaling. [17:22] It is devastating to realize that the career you built — the skills you’ve honed, the seniority you’ve acquired — have all been wiped out because someone built a robot that can do what you do faster and cheaper if not better. [17:38] For many people, these changes have hit like an earthquake or hurricane. They are living in a career disaster area. They will recover but they’re not moving back into the old house. [17:52] Sally was 65 and was a consummate marketing professional. She had worked in a variety of different industries over the span of her career. At different times in her career, she worked freelance and she worked for some major agencies. [18:06] Like many of her peers, she took a hit in the great recession. Then her spouse passed away suddenly and Sally decided to move across the country to be closer to her children. [18:16] Now, she’s trying to re-establish herself in a new city where the culture and job market are very young and vibrant. Sally is taking courses in social media and digital marketing but the skills required to be productive marketing professional have made tectonic shifts in the direction of technology. [18:37] In the 1990s, when I was working in a marketing and sales support function in IBM marketing or in the executive briefing center, we produced presentations and marketing collateral; web content that supported the sale of IBM hardware and software. That world no longer exists. [18:56] The world that does exist today, as I launch the Career Pivot Online Community, requires a completely new set of skills. I’m learning about Facebook marketing, Google Adwords, re-marketing, re-targeting, pixeling strategies, ad networks, and other digital marketing approaches. [19:14] When I made the decision to leave the world of technology marketing, more than 15 years ago, I left a place that looks nothing like it does today. Can Sally shift into this new technological marketing world that’s populated with a very young workforce, at the age of 65? It’s possible but not probable. [19:37] Larry is also 65. He is an engineer who has worked for some of the top companies that designed and manufactured leading computer hardware through his career. He was a program and project manager for huge multinational, multi-company development projects with huge scope and complexity. That world is disappearing, fast. [19:59] Companies like HP, IBM and others have seen their hardware business almost completely disappear. Companies like Sun and DEC have been wiped off the map in a very short period of time. [20:14] There are many like Larry, who built their careers around designing large and ever-growing complex hardware systems. But in the last 10 years, the hardware market has been commoditized. The iPhone sitting next to me has more computing power and function than huge computers of just a few years ago. [20:35] Larry interviewed for a program management job with one of the leading Cloud infrastructure companies. And the first thing they asked him to do was to take a coding test. What?! A coding test? For a program management job? [20:51] Like Larry, I haven’t written a line of code in over 15 years. Could I pass a coding test? Probably not. Does it make sense that they want to see if he can code? Probably not. But that’s not the world we live in, now. [21:06] They moved my cheese. The complex world that Larry excelled and thrived in moved from hardware to software, at Warp speed. They moved Larry’s cheese —  referencing the book Who Moved My Cheese, an amazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life by Dr. Spencer Johnson — and he didn’t even realize it. [21:31] The career space that Larry and his peers lived in for so many years now looks like a career disaster area. Like Sally, he could retool but can he do it fast enough and be accepted in a very young, fast-moving market? It’s possible but not probable. [21:52] It’s now time to shift expectations and direction. People can and do rebuild after a disaster. Sometimes people have to walk away from the disaster scene because it’s just too risky to stay. This is the destruction part. But after a period of grieving all that, it’s time to move away from destruction and get on with creation. [22:15] From here out, there is no safe haven where you can just tuck yourself in and work as long as you want to work. Creative destruction is happening every day and you have to be constantly learning, evolving, and pivoting. How you do that is the subject of the next chapter. [22:35] Action steps: Is your industry in the process of being SMACed? Evaluate where you’re keeping up with changes. Research what skills you need to keep up with your current industry and how much of a challenge will that be? Does it mean going back to school or merely taking online classes? [22:55] Write down how your current skills might be useful in other emerging business types or industries. [23:04] Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. It is imperative that you learn to embrace creative destruction, as it’s not going away. If anything, it’s going to accelerate. [23:15] The Career Pivot Community website has become a valuable resource for about 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project. Marc is currently recruiting new members for the next cohort. [23:27] If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. When you sign up you’ll receive information about the community as it evolves. [23:43] Those who are in these initial cohorts set the direction of this endeavor. This is a paid membership community with group coaching and special content. More importantly, it’s a community where you can seek help. Go to CareerPivot.com/Community to learn more. [24:07] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller. Just include in the connection request that you heard Marc on this podcast. You can look for Career Pivot on Facebook, LinkedIn, or @CareerPivot on Twitter. [24:28] Please come back next week, when Marc will interview Patti Temple Rocks, author of I’m Not Done: It's Time to Talk About Ageism in the Workplace, a great book on ageism.

Professor Ken McPhail discusses why rights - human, political, social, labour or environmental - have historically been so difficult to define, and why the S (Social) in ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) analysis provides an opportunity to better develop accounting practices for assessing the costs of rights to society, investors and corporates. How do we begin to quantify what human rights risks pose for society and investors? Can there ever be a path towards an international-recognised ethical accounting standard? How is technology changing our conception of human rights to now include the loss of privacy?

I knew SETC’s (Southeastern Theatre Conference) as a great audition opportunity for college students, but I learned they have opportunities for actors at all stages of their career. Check out my conversation with Marci Duncan, the audition committee chair, as I get some insider info on how to prepare for and what to expect at the big spring auditions. www.setc.org Marci Duncan -Actor -Audition committee chair for SETC -Florida Theatre Conference Screening Coordinator -Professor at University of West Florida -One-on-one actor coach SETC is one of the largest theatre conferences around - and there are so many different opportunities there. SETC is for: -Professional actors (AEA, SAG/AFTRA) -Just starting out/recent college graduates -Current college students, looking for summer stock/graduation opportunities -Transfer auditions -Grad School prospective students -High School - looking for programs/getting experience/networking/workshops SETC also provides scholarships. -Go to the website and put “scholarships” in the search engine, and you’ll get the info. Workshops -Over 300 workshops during the conference. These are workshops for the actor, professor, musician, technical theatre, etc. QUESTION: I’m in college and looking for summer stock work or just about to graduate, how do I get to audition? -Go to SETC WEBSITE, click on the screening auditions. (If you’re in college, you’ll have to be screened before being sent on to the main conference in the spring). -Each state has a coordinating conference at which they do these screenings. BUT make sure you register on the SETC website and not that state’s website. -The screening auditions are in early fall, starting in October and ending in early December. You don’t have to wait long - notified immediately. QUESTION: What do I need to prepare? What should I expect? -Musical Theatre candidates: You can sing and you can do a monologue, and you have 90 seconds total. You can do just a song, or a song and a monologue. They encourage you to do both as most companies want to hear both. -SETC does NOT encourage a “sandwich audition” - sing, monologue, then sing. Accompanist provided. -Actor only: 60 seconds, choose one monologue. -The time starts with your name and audition number. If you choose to sing, the 90 second limit does not include the time you speak with your accompanist. For the screening auditions: -It’s basically a qualifier. There is no dance call; it’s just your audition. -In the spring at the official conference, it’s set up in the same way to the screening, but you will be called back by whoever wants to see you and if you are called for the dance call. For the main auditions: -You audition in a group, you leave with the same group and go to the holding room. Then you’ll be free to look in the callback room pending instructions. What opportunities/types of companies will be there and what material should I put forward? -Cruise Ships -Shakespeare Companies -Children’s Theatre -Professional Theatre -Repertory Companies -Regional Theatre Companies -All of the attending companies will be posted on SETC website TIP: Shape your audition for what you want to book – check out the attending company websites in advance. QUESTION: Should I change my package between qualifiers? -Wouldn’t recommend - it’s why you qualified. Look up the theatre companies attending. TIPS: -You need to be clear if you want to do musical theatre, straight plays, Shakespeare, or cruise line work. Be specific and tailor to it -List your true availability, especially if you’re in college. Only say you can work year-round if you can. - Make sure you look up who is attending - know who you’re auditioning for and what to prepare. Prepare for the callback. Bring your book - have backup pieces. You never know what a particular company will see you as. Be prepared - they may have you do cold readings. Practice that with your friends. Don’t change your outfit before callbacks - they’ll remember the first outfit. But do bring tennis shoes for running around during the day. Dance Call: At the dance call, they teach you a dance and you perform it in groups. There are three levels: -Actors who move -Intermediate (Contemporary etc.) -Tap Bring Dance attire, not sweats. SECRET! All the companies get together at the bar and they talk, so… Be nice to everyone. Don’t gripe or vent - you never know who’s listening. If I don’t make it and get passed on, what do I do? -Treat it like a learning experience. -Go to the workshops. -Network. -You can go to the conference without being signed up for the auditions. There are also Professional Fall auditions. -These are for people just starting out or have some professional credits and don’t need to be screened. This is in Atlanta - no conference around these. Just audition, callback, dance call. TIP: Another way to get involved and on the radar: Reach out to SETC Audition committee to see if there’s someone close to come to do a workshop. Remember it’s for the networking – make connections so you can reach out and get involved. Get internships, work for them. Also: You can still go and participate without auditioning. You can attend workshops and networking events as much as you like!

I forgot to mention you should bring (already put together) pictures and resumes to the auditions. The employers might ask for them at the callbacks. P.P.S. Here are some recommendations for a packing list: -Book (of music if you're a singer) -Copy of your monologue (just for practice) -Audition outfit & shoes -Hair &/or make-up items to freshen up (and pull back hair, if needed for dance audition) -Comfy shoes (to walk around in for the rest of the day) -Dance Clothes & shoes -Water & Healthy Snacks -Pictures & Resumes -Notebook and pen (for notes on seminars, networking, feedback & callbacks) -Phone & wallet P.P.P.S – Social links for SETC      https://www.facebook.com/setc.org/      https://twitter.com/setctweet      https://www.linkedin.com/company/southeastern-theatre-conference      https://www.instagram.com/setc/ A HUGE thank you to Marci for sharing her time with my audience!!!

Pokémon Go har krossat alla andra lanseringar, slängt ut Candy Crush från tronen och gör att människor spenderar tid på gatorna för att jaga små japanska populärkulturmonster. Så Social by default bryter vår sommarvila med podcasten för ett avsnitt där vi diskuterar fenomenet. Varför blir folk så uppslukade? Vad är det som triggar så starkt. Vi noterar att Pokémon Go inte är ett socialt media men att det är ett media som blir socialt. Frågan är bara hur länge febern kommer hålla i sig? Kommer det komma en backlash? Sen pratar vi lite om hur man som företag och marknadsförare kan förhålla sig till spelet. Lyssna gärna och dela gärna vidare! Shownotes, länkar och alla avsnitt hittar ni på podcast.socialbydefault.se. Prenumerera på podcasten via Itunes. Ge oss gärna ett betyg och en recension!
