What separates high-performing senior living sales teams from everyone else? According to Cole Boysen, Director of Sales at Senior Services of America, it's not luck, it's process. In this episode of The Grow Your Occupancy Podcast, Julie Podewitz, CEO & Founder of Grow Your Occupancy, sits down with Cole to discuss how implementing consistent, measurable sales processes creates better coaching, stronger accountability, and more predictable occupancy results. Rather than focusing solely on move-ins, Cole explains why successful sales leaders coach to the behaviors and leading indicators that produce them. Learn how to identify gaps in the sales funnel, improve tour conversion rates, create a culture of lateral accountability across departments, and use data to coach more effectively without creating unnecessary pressure. Whether you're a community Sales Director, Executive Director, or corporate sales leader, this conversation is packed with practical strategies for building a repeatable sales system that delivers long-term success. If you're ready to stop reacting and start leading with intention, this episode offers a roadmap for transforming your sales culture and your occupancy results.

Roy L Hales / Cortes Currents - The SRD Board unanimously passed a resolution that Cortes residents will vote on whether to fund the island's youth and senior organizations at the upcoming October 17, 2026 election. Regional Director Mark Vonesh explained, “There was a little bit of a rush because I realized that, in order to get this onto the referendum—which I think is the fairest way to consult with the community—it needs to go through a process. It goes to the board, a draft bylaw is created, the draft bylaw is reviewed, and then it goes to the Inspector of Municipalities for approval. That comes back to the referendum at the election. The time period for this one was tight. It basically had to happen in the month that I introduced it, but the beauty of it is that we've got four months to talk about it.” “I'm going to be holding a public meeting in the Fall, before the election, so we can come together and talk about it, and so I can share information that I have about the services. We'll also make it available online, so it's really accessible for people.” “The two new services that passed the board today, unanimously, are about providing funding for programming on Cortes.” “We know that youth and older people on Cortes are important to the future—and the past—of our community. By supporting them, it's going to make Cortes a better place to be. As a youth worker and someone who's worked with seniors all over Canada doing nonprofit work, I know the impact that the organizations on Cortes are already having.” “We're looking at $35,000 for each of the services, which really isn't a lot of money, but I think it could go a long way toward filling some gaps and strengthening what we're already doing on Cortes for younger people and older people.”

By 2030, the number of senior citizens in Missouri is expected to be higher than the number of children and teens. By 2060, the Department of Human and Senior Services says that gap will be "significant." KMOX's Jade Aubrey talks with Mindy Ulstad, the Chief of the Bureau of Senior Program with the Department about the impact of those numbers.

In this episode host Iain Ballantyne talks to guest Steve Kershaw, a former Royal Navy submarine officer, about his amazing career under the sea and his work today helping to bring about the UK'S ‘Hybrid Navy' transformation.Iain kicks off by asking Steve to explain what led him to choose a naval career in the mid-1980s and why it was the engineering side of the Senior Service that appealed most.After talking about his time undergoing Initial Sea Training and being ‘streamed' to the Submarine Service as an engineer, Steve relates how for a short period he returned to the Surface Fleet. He spent time in HMS London, including a foray to Berlin as the infamous Wall dividing East and West came down in late 1989.Steve served in several Royal Navy nuclear-powered hunter killer submarines (SSNs) of the Trafalgar Class, including during the 1991 Gulf War. That boat spent 13 weeks dived in the Mediterranean watching Libya to ensure it did not come into the conflict on the side of Saddam Hussein.Steve also went to sea in the Upholder Class diesel-electric submarine HMS Unicorn for a marathon voyage from the UK to the Indian Ocean and Gulf and back. He reveals to Iain how he found the ‘dirty boat' world aboard Unicorn to be somewhat different to the nukes.While away the UK Government decided to take the four (fairly new) Upholders out of commission, which was a blow. Steve reveals the impact that had on Unicorn's crew. A deployment involving Steve, which hit the headlines for the wrong reasons was that of HMS Tireless as part of Naval Task Group 2000, and which saw a circumnavigation of the world cancelled. The SSN was ‘trapped' in Gibraltar for a year due to serious technical problems and Steve returned home rather than going around the world.Among other things Iain and Steve discuss is his time with Naval Sea Trials Party 30 (NSTP 30) and its work to ensure RN submarine sensors remained on the cutting edge during a continuing contest under the sea.Steve and Iain also discuss how the ‘Hybrid Navy' aims to provide a solution to giving the British fleet of today and tomorrow more mass and presence at sea as part of the new Atlantic Bastion concept.*For more on navies and their activities worldwide, get the magazine!

Her work also directly benefits Fulton County's senior population, with initiatives that improve access to care and promote social engagement to combat isolation. Roshell believes in a holistic approach to community well-being, recognizing that public safety and the arts are interconnected with health.

He has a deep understanding and passion for our senior population.

She is currently responsible for admissions and outreach and is the Licensed Assisted Living Director. Deb does the dementia training for all new employees, as well as doing dementia training in the community, and most recently for employees of the Minneapolis / St. Paul airport with a team of volunteers from the Dementia Friendly Airports Working Group. Ron Bowen, Executive Director at The Pines at Hilton Head a WindRiver: Ron Bowen started his career in Healthcare in the late 1980's after graduating from college with a BA in Mass Communication/Business. He found his passion working with the Older Adult population specifically those afflicted with Alzheimer's/Dementia. Ron has a Master's in Human Development and Gerontology specializing in dementia. Ron's philosophy and success have been incorporating Aging Theories into our knowledge of Alzheimer's and other related dementias. Even though some diseases can change personality, the older adults he has dealt with have had a life time of being themselves. Knowing a persons' past personality, passions, triggers, and fears will better equip our caregivers to deal with behaviors and to gain trust with the individual we are serving. Conscious Caregiving with L & L is Co-Hosted by Lance A. Slatton and Lori La Bey.
