Kids are constantly learning lessons, and most of the time it's not even in the classroom. As they grow, they learn through relationships, discovering new abilities, and quite often they learn through failure! As parents, we get to come alongside them and help them understand that taking risks, and failing is OK! It's hard to watch our kids take risks when our instincts are telling us to protect and to rescue.

Carpool Conversations is a podcast dedicated to encouraging and equipping parents just like you to have meaningful conversations with their kids. Hosted by two moms, Amy Lowe and Sara Jones have down-to-earth discussions where they share stories, practical examples, and questions to help you better understand and connect with your kids. So listen in the next time you're going to pick up your kids from school and you might end up with the perfect conversation starter!

Sara Jones joins Clint on this episode of the Silicon Slopes Podcast for an eye-opening conversation about diversity in the workplace and how her company, InclusionPro, is working to change the stigma surrounding these ideas. She speaks on approaching this subject with a learning mindset and she challenges leaders to look at the company culture they've created, and discover how they can further integrate diverse ideas into their routines, creating opportunities for creativity and inclusion. DEI has recently become a hot topic in politics and Sara shares that DEI was never meant to be a political talking point because it was initially created to help companies discover new pathways to success. Sara teaches leaders that equity isn't about giving good opportunities to employees who don't deserve them, but it's really about giving employees the opportunities to advance and succeed in the job they were hired to do, like training for a promotion or role. DEI is deeply personal and it affects everyone differently and Sara is on a mission to help leaders understand the value in diverse thinking and creative learning. "It's complex, it's nuanced, and I think it's really testing us as a society on whether or not we can really work towards the interest of everyone."

Today marks the anniversary of the Armistice Agreement which basically ended the Korean War. The war created thousands of orphans, many of whom were adopted by families in Utah. But many who came here as children didn't become citizens until they became adults, including Staci Robison and Sara Jones. Staci and Sara join to discuss how we can close the adoption to citizenship gap.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sara Jones isn't sure whether she's 48 or 49. That's because the circumstances surrounding her relinquishment are still a bit unclear. What she does know for certain, is that her father never wanted her to be separated from her family or be adopted overseas. But his worst fears happened anyway, and against most all odds she was able to find her way back. Now, she's using her voice to help other Korean adoptees whom the system disenfranchised and left vulnerable.

We had the pleasure of meeting Sara Jones on a sunny Saturday morning in her cozy home in Little Rock. Her big, warm personality filled the room as soon as we walked in, and it was easy to see why her parents have stayed happily married all these years. Sara is the youngest of her siblings and was a bit of a surprise baby to her big Mississippi family. Growing up, her family was deeply spiritual and Christian, but they always encouraged Sara to follow her own path and discover her own beliefs. These days, Sara is enjoying playing the role of auntie to her sister's kids, and she recently moved to Little Rock for work.Sara found herself working as an executive assistant, which seems to be the perfect fit for her bubbly personality and organizational skills. We were excited to learn that she's also exploring her creative side, as she recently wrote a book and enjoys painting in her spare time. During our conversation, Sara opened up about her recent sobriety journey and how she got there. She shared that she's always been a hopeless romantic, but her relationships always seemed to end in disappointment and heartbreak. It wasn't until she hit rock bottom that she realized she needed to make a change in her life.Sara also spoke about the profound insights that her brother, who has special needs, has given her. She shared how he has taught her to appreciate the little things in life and to be grateful for every moment. As we delved deeper into Sara's story, we laughed and cried with her as she shared her experiences and struggles. The Jar provided a safe space for Sara to open up and share her journey, and we were honored to be a part of it.Check our Sara's Links:Instagram: https://instagram.com/esseejones?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==Vital Apparel discount link: https://vtlapparel.com/discount/EsseentiallyWorkout clothing brand that donates to mental health research My book, Daily Dose of Melancholy: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/daily-dose-of-melancholy-essee-jones/1142099558?ean=9798886802979&fbclid=PAAaYzrYs9qNWkVd9Me9w3yeYovqq_myEYBwAb53EIq_NuPzvXRYJVBRD_jxsTherapy and medication management scheduling for the state of Arkansas through Chenal Family Therapy: 501-781-2230 For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

Focusing on the memory of the German Democratic Republic, Towards a Collaborative Memory: German Memory Work in a Transnational Context (Berghahn Books, 2022) explores the cross-border collaborations of three German institutions. Using an innovative theoretical and methodological framework, drawing on relational sociology, network analysis and narrative, the study breaks out of the epistemic coloniality that has underpinned global partnerships across European actors and institutions. Sara Jones reconceptualizes transnational memory towards an approach that is collaborative not only in its practices, but also in its ethics, and shows how these institutions position themselves within dominant relationship cultures reflected between East and West, and North and South.

Where do you find most of your candidates?  If LinkedIn is your primary platform for sourcing and engaging with candidates, this episode is for you. We are not telling you to stop using LinkedIn. But we believe that it's a mistake to be over-reliant on LinkedIn as your main source of candidates. In this episode, you will hear the downsides of being dependent upon LinkedIn. You'll also learn what specific steps you can take now to enhance your candidate engagement and increase response rates to your outreach.  Episode Outline and Highlights [00:57] The six pillars of a successful seven-figure recruitment business. [2:22] Clients versus candidates - which do you need more of? [3:31] Why it is essential to track the source of the candidates you place. [5:14] The downsides of being over-reliant on LinkedIn as your primary source of candidates. [6:47] Why using InMails may not be the most effective method of outreach. [8:05] Going further - how to leverage multi-channel communication strategies. [10:04] Isn't a 12-step candidate recruitment campaign going overboard? [12:36] Benefits of developing a multi-step, multi-channel approach. [13:38] Two more reasons why it's risky to rely too much on LinkedIn. [15:14] Strategies to increase candidate response. [17:02] Simple steps you can take to put this into action. The Downsides of Being Over-Reliant on LinkedIn LinkedIn is actually the number one source of candidates for the majority of recruiters out there. But there are downsides to being over-reliant on LinkedIn as your primary source of candidates. Some of them are: Your competitors and clients are searching on LinkedIn too.  Candidates are inundated with messages on LinkedIn.  Not every candidate is active on LinkedIn. Also, you have to remember that you do not own the data on LinkedIn. The data belongs to LinkedIn and they could at any time just cut you off. They can restrict your account and remove the facility. All the time you have invested in curating that network can be taken away. So we always recommend that you extract data from LinkedIn and build your own database. Then your ATS will become your number one source of candidates in the future. Going Further and Leveraging Multi-Channel Strategies We are not saying to stop using LinkedIn. We just want you to go much further when it comes to your candidate outreach and activities. Your goal should be to have a sophisticated, multi-touch, multi-channel recruiting campaign in place - one that leverages automation technology. In this episode, we will be giving examples of strategies you can use to increase candidate response and engagement. The Benefits of Implementing a Multi-Touch, Multi-Channel Recruitment Campaign Do not leave money on the table. You owe it to yourself and your candidates to make them aware of the opportunity on offer.  As a recruiter, increasing your response rates translates to more placements and profits. Plus it enables you to have a positive impact on more lives.  Here are some of the benefits of utilizing multi-channel strategies: Increase in response to your candidate outreach. Increase the number of quality candidates that you can present. It will shorten the time to fill positions. Save time in leveraging tools and automation. Have a sense of control over your candidate pipeline.

If you're like many recruiters we speak to, you're extremely busy right now with more job orders than you can handle. However, are you working with the right clients? Many recruiters delude themselves by thinking they're “too busy” to do business development when in reality they're working on low-probability searches. So they end up doing a lot of work you don't get paid for.  Another common scenario is recruiters who rely on repeat business from the same legacy clients. Sure you've got a good relationship, but have you gotten into a comfort zone with them? When was the last time you reviewed your terms of business with your existing clients?  Or asked them for a retainer? Perhaps you're reluctant to rock the boat because you get a lot of business from them. If you can identify with either of these scenarios, pay close attention. In this episode, Leanne and I will share tips on how to increase your billings by working with your ideal clients - the ones who are willing to work with you exclusively at higher fees, and who treat you as a trusted advisor and true partners.  This is the second of a series of episodes where Leanne and I will share insights that we have gained from working with hundreds of successful recruitment business owners.   Episode Outline and Highlights [3:00] Increase your billings by auditing your existing clients. [4:12] Indicators that you are working with the right clients. [5:27] The benefits of grading your jobs using a Job Order Scorecard. [8:11] Common limiting beliefs that stop recruiters from reviewing their terms of business with existing clients.  [10:52] Actual examples and success stories of recruiters who raised their standards in terms of how they work with new and existing clients. [12:07] Won't you lose clients if you increase your rates?  [13:07] Three simple actions you can take to re-evaluate your client relationship. Audit Your Existing Client with the Job Order Scorecard   When was the last time you audited your clients and measured the quality of jobs you are working on to make sure you are investing your time wisely? One of the first exercises we do with our new clients is to get them to do an audit on their existing clients and actually grade their jobs. Failing to do so can mean that you end up working with the wrong clients in ways that are not effective or efficient.  A useful exercise is to look at your job-to-placement ratio. In this call, you will hear a scientific approach to using a diagnostic tool we call the Job Order Scorecard. This tool was designed to audit your existing live job - looking at measurable factors and criteria to work from when starting new partnerships or when analyzing your current clients.  Some of the factors being looked at are: How fillable is the job? How accessible is the hiring manager? Is the role actually within your niche? How good is the rate? How solid are the agreement and the terms? If you want to steal our Job Order Scorecard you can download it here: http://www.recruitmentcoach.com/scorecard  Challenge Your Self-Limiting Beliefs  The idea of grading your jobs can lead to better outcomes for both you and your client. However, the fear of change and some limiting beliefs may stop us from taking the leap of faith to switching from contingent to the retained model, for example. Another thing we hear a lot is  “In my market, it is very price sensitive, there is no way our clients will pay a higher fee.” If you hear yourself saying this, it may be a sign that there are underlying limiting beliefs that we may need to challenge. We want you to go out of your comfort zone and look at it from a different perspective. The success stories of our coaching group members should nudge you to overcome the fear of asking for higher fees and more commitment.   Three Simple Actions You Can Take Now If there are key takeaways from this episode, it is taking action now and doing the simple steps below: Go to http://www.recruitmentcoach.com/scorecard and download the scorecard. Do the exercise and audit - give a score to each of the roles you are working on so you can measure them up against one another. Re-prioritize your time and energy based on that score.
