Physical therapist John Corsino discusses his article, "Lifelong learning: a game-changer in diagnosing dizziness." He highlights how often the answers to complex cases, like acute dizziness, are present in the exam room but can be missed due to an over-reliance on diagnostic testing and systemic pressures that undervalue thorough physical examination. John champions the importance of lifelong learning for clinicians and the effective use of specific physical exam techniques, such as the HINTS exam, which can differentiate between peripheral vestibular issues and central nervous system insults with high accuracy, sometimes even outperforming imaging. The conversation delves into how misperceptions about dizziness persist and how a commitment to skilled examination can prevent diagnostic delays, reduce health care costs, and significantly improve patient outcomes. The key takeaway is: Investing time in honing physical examination skills and fostering a culture of continuous learning is crucial for clinicians to provide high-value, accurate diagnoses, especially for challenging symptoms like dizziness, ultimately transforming patient care.

Supporting older, novice readers requires more than just phonics or comprehension strategies—it demands a multicomponent intervention approach. Students need structured instruction in vocabulary, syntax, text processing, and writing when working with complex texts. But for this to be effective, intervention must be intentional, well-planned, and fully supported.During this episode, Dr. Mitchell Brookins, a nationally recognized literacy practitioner, shares insights from a middle school in New Orleans, where a multicomponent intervention transformed how students engaged with rigorous texts. He breaks down why successful intervention isn't just about what happens in the classroom—it also requires:✅ A Structured Framework—A clear instructional model that ensures students get explicit, systematic instruction in vocabulary, syntax, text processing, and writing.✅ Intentional Text Selection—Choosing texts that are both rigorous and accessible, ensuring they build students' literacy skills while maintaining engagement.✅ A Strong Coaching System—Teachers need consistent guidance and professional learning to sustain and refine their instructional practices—intervention is too vital for teachers to navigate alone.If you're working with older struggling readers, this episode will challenge conventional approaches to intervention and equip you with the tools to help students succeed with complex texts—no matter their starting point.

Even the tallest skyscrapers in the world started from simple materials. Steel, concrete, and glass are crafted together to create massive structures, but they didn't just show up one day. Skilled workers had to take those materials to form them into something bigger. Pastor Bill reminds you today that just like an expert builder, God can take the tiny things that you offer from your feeble life and turn them into something glorious. Never doubt what the Lord can do with your loaves and your fishes.

It's what you do next that matters most." "Skilled trades don't just build things — they build confidence, community, and real opportunities." "It wasn't until I was about 29 that I realized the trades could be a real career for me — and it all started with saying yes to helping a friend renovate a house." "Representation matters. Growing up, it wasn't that I was discouraged from building or fixing things — it just wasn't shown to me as a real career path." "I realized I wasn't thriving — I was just surviving. And the skilled trades offered me a way to build a life, not just make a living." "Sometimes it's not about having the perfect background — it's about being willing to learn, being resourceful, and saying yes to new opportunities." "Free programs that help women transition into the trades are life-changing. They open doors that many of us didn't even know existed." 

How do we build bipartisan momentum to support the future of CTE?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, a national leader and co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Career and Technical Education Caucus. Drawing from her personal upbringing in a STEM-focused household and her decades of public service, Senator Baldwin shares why CTE is essential to our economic future.Senator Baldwin offers a candid look at how federal policy is influencing the future of technical education. She discusses the uncertain outlook for funding, efforts to align apprenticeship laws with modern tech careers, and why short-term training is becoming a national priority. With clear ties to workforce needs and economic strategy, it's a conversation grounded in both practicality and urgency.Listen to learn:Why short-term training needs to be federally funded like degree programsWhat Congress is doing to modernize U.S. apprenticeship lawsHow Buy America provisions are creating new manufacturing jobsWhy the technical college system is a key asset in attracting new industry3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. CTE is one of the rare policy areas with true bipartisan alignment: From Buy America provisions to workforce training, Baldwin sees common ground among lawmakers focused on economic development. She credits this unity to the shared recognition that technical education is vital to America's industrial strength.2. Short-term training needs to be recognized in federal financial aid policy: Senator Baldwin emphasized the importance of allowing Pell Grants and other aid to support short, job-focused programs—not just two- or four-year degrees. Without this flexibility, learners may be forced to take on unnecessary debt or misrepresent their intentions just to access support.3. Apprenticeship programs must be updated to reflect today's workforce: The National Apprenticeship Act hasn't been reauthorized since 1937, leaving many modern industries and small businesses without a clear path to participate. Baldwin is pushing for a bipartisan update that would make it easier for employers of all sizes to offer earn-and-learn opportunities.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about Senator Tammy Baldwin, visit: www.baldwin.senate.govConnect with the Senator on Social Media:Facebook  |  Instagram  |  X  |  YouTubeWe want to hear from you!

In this episode of The Skillwork Forum, hosts Tim Raglin and Brett Elliott revisit one of their most talked-about topics — the evolving perception of skilled trades in America.They explore whether cultural attitudes toward hard work and blue-collar careers are finally shifting, especially among Gen Z and younger generations. From the rising influence of trade professionals on social media to the increase in trade school enrollment and industry-education partnerships, they break down the key factors fueling this momentum. Tim and Brett also discuss how technology, including AI, is reshaping the skilled trades while reinforcing the critical need for human problem-solving and hands-on expertise. Tune in as they examine why skilled trades may be entering a true golden era — and what that means for the future of the workforce.

How can language help shape your worldbuilding? We're not necessarily talking about conlang here -- that can certainly be part of worldbuilding, but it doesn't have to be, and many works of speculative fiction manage perfectly fine without invented languages. But the words you choose in description and dialogue will also communicate something to your reader. There are so many ways that words can create the vibes for your world: the aural quality of different languages, choosing character and place names, the cadence and flow of sentences, and the conscious emulation of other genres or eras. We also explore what the conceptual availability of certain ideas, technologies, or worldviews may mean for the vocabulary, idioms, and metaphors of a culture. Being very intentional about word choice can help a writer communicate a location's aesthetic, let a reader know what to expect from a book's tone, help reveal character through dialogue, and even drop information about all your other worldbuilding in quick and subtle ways. And since we are huge word nerds, we delight in examining all of it! The episode begins, however, with a 15-minute diversion into how much we love Shakespeare, so -- enjoy that! And happy birthday, Bill! We are also delighted to announce that we are, for the fifth year in a row, a Finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Fancast! Anyone who has a WSFS membership for this year can vote, and we would love your consideration. Membership costs $50 and gets you access to the voters' packet, digital versions of almost everything you'll find on the Finalists lists -- novels, novellas, novelettes, short stories, poetry, and even audio and video.

It is so common for high-achieving women to push through despite feeling drained. We have seen this in our clients and have most likely experienced it ourselves in our careers as coaches. When high achievers feel exhausted, it's easy to think that another cup of coffee is all they need to keep going. But we know that is not the case at all, and they might actually be on the verge of burnout. We hear about burnout a lot--it's become somewhat of a buzzword in our culture. Today, we discuss what this means specifically and how it affects high-achieving women like ourselves and our clients.Burnout can be a significant issue! As someone who is ambitious and high-achieving, I understand what it's like not to see it coming. Women are used to taking on so much that we keep going without realizing the cost: their health, relationships, and long-term career success. When women ignore burnout, they often end up in survival mode–operating on autopilot, disconnected from their passion, and resenting the very work they once loved. This cycle continues because high achievers don't want to feel weak by slowing down. However, we can break this cycle–for us and our clients.Midore Takada is a trauma-informed, master-certified life coach who specializes in helping career-driven women in midlife who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and burned out, including those navigating professional exam prep while balancing demanding careers and personal responsibilities. In this episode, she offers great insights and helpful tools to understand the signs of burnout and how we can use a holistic perspective to support our clients through it.What does burnout in high-achieving women look like?For ambitious, career-driven women, burnout doesn't always look like total collapse–that's why it can be so hard to identify. When high-achieving women burn out, it is often disguised as over-functioning–they still show up, deliver results, and handle it all, but internally, they are running on fumes. As women, we can be really good at over-functioning. It's unhealthy for us, but we often do it without even realizing it. We have thoughts like, I have to do this. I have to take care of everything. I'm supposed to hold things together. We don't realize when we've crossed over into that place, which is when resentment can creep in. Instead of slowing down when this happens, women push harder and dismiss the exhaustion as just needing to manage their time better. But deep down, they start feeling disconnected from their work and become irritable, unmotivated, and emotionally drained–even if they are still achieving on the surface. The subtle signs of burnout in high-achieving womenOften, when high-achieving women experience burnout, it can feel like it came on very suddenly. There are several signs to watch for to identify burnout before you–or your client–have reached total exhaustion. Maybe you're feeling off but can't point out why. Or the work that you were once really excited about now feels draining. You have brain fog, are forgetful, and make mistakes you usually don't make. Resentment creeps in, and even small tasks feel like a burden. You overcommit without thinking–saying yes automatically, even when you're overwhelmed and emotionally numb. You get through the day instead of actually feeling present. For high-achieving women, burnout doesn't scream, I can't do this anymore, but instead, it whispers, why doesn't this feel as fulfilling as it used to? When women can recognize these signs, there are shifts they can make with the help of a coach to stop them from hitting that total burnout. Skilled coaches advocate for a high level of self-care and wellness that will help prevent the crash before it happens. Helping them shift the way they engage in the world and what they expect of themselves...

The technician shortage isn't just about a lack of interest or younger generations turning away from the trades. It's about years of failed leadership, broken promises, and workplaces that left passion out in the cold. This week on Wrench Nation we dig deep into one of the industry's most pressing crises—and we're not pulling punches. We're joined by special guest Josh Parnell of Limitless Leadership , a voice that's challenging the status quo and calling out the cultural rot from the top down. From toxic shop environments to outdated mindsets that value profit over people, Josh helps us unpack how bad leadership has driven good techs out of the bays—and how real, intentional leadership can bring them back. If you've ever wondered why the tools are there but the hands are missing, you won't want to miss this conversation. Reach out to Josh Parnell : Limit Leadership

Today, we're talking about something so many of our clients struggle with: weight loss. Truly, this goes beyond losing weight–it's about guiding our clients towards figuring out how they can feel good in their bodies. How do we do this? By using a holistic approach to weight loss. When our clients focus on counting calories and following trending diets, the journey to better physical health often stays rooted in mindset. Skilled coaches know that thought work can be a great entry point, but if we only focus on the mind, we miss a huge piece of successfully helping our clients. When we can help our clients connect to their bodies and emotions, it reduces stress and overwhelm so they can make choices about what they eat instead of staying dysregulated and feeling out of control. I recently got to talk with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal, the master of Burn Stress, Lose Weight and an OB-GYN physician turned life coach. Her mission to help women feel better from head to toe–with science-based information, not fads and gimmicks–helped inspire this blog, and I can't wait for you to hear her wisdom. This blog and podcast episode center primarily around helping your clients who have a weight loss goal, but it will provide helpful strategies that will allow you to serve any of your clients better. We discuss building awareness, regulating the nervous system, and self-connections–ideas every single coach needs to have tools for in order to help our clients make the transformation they seek.Priyanka is passionate about helping women and supporting moms. Most coaches are, right? Having these roles is an amazing thing, but it can be stressful–that's why our clients come to us. They can have all the information about what would help them feel better, but it's not always easy to know what you truly need to make it happen without the help of a coach. Today, we're diving into the best strategies to help your clients connect their brains to their bodies so they can build awareness and follow through on what they need to feel good.Help your clients transform using a holistic approach to weight lossSo many people hear stories about incredible weight loss transformations, but it's easy to feel disconnected if that is a journey they have not been on yet. As coaches, we know that lasting change is possible for anyone. So how do we remove this block that our clients have and help them finally feel good in their own bodies and minds?Priyanka talked about how, when she first started receiving coaching, the idea that our thoughts create our feelings was so profound for her. Many of us have this same experience–it's a simple concept, but we don't have the awareness of it yet. Why a holistic approach to weight loss is essentialOur thoughts genuinely do influence our feelings, which is one of the many reasons why a holistic approach to weight loss (and coaching in general) is so important. As coaches, we need to look at our clients' mindsets, but it is equally important to understand where we need to address emotions that are rising in the body. This practice will help them separate their internal experience from what is happening on the outside. That separation is powerful as I help my clients attend to the imprints on their nervous systems or emotions. We could talk about this every week with our clients and ourselves, and it would be a lightbulb moment every time. It's our job to help them see that their circumstance does not have power over them so we can attend to what's going on in their mind.How to help your clients

Travellers have been banned from bringing meat from all EU countries into the UK following Foot and Mouth disease in Germany, Hungary and Slovakia. The ban applies to meat from cattle, pigs, and sheep as well as dairy products. We hear from the British Veterinary Association about why cured meats or cheese bought home from holiday could present a very real disease risk. After lambing, shearing is next on sheep farmers' springtime to do lists. Skilled shearers from overseas will now be able to book their flights to the UK, after the Government approved this year's special visa concession at the eleventh hour.

For episode 82 of "Hot Takes", the bois decided to bring another act from the vaporwave zero genre to the broadcast! Skilled breaks-influenced vaporwave producer and 1/2 of VaporVA alongside Roge Corp, V4NGOE is known for being a pioneer of a subset of vaporwave that is more vocal-driven and influenced by breaks and 90's R&B than your typical slowed and reverb fare. He helped drive the growth of that new sound alongside acts like Ahero, Satin Sheets, and Simple Syrup; he and Roge Corp together threw a blockbuster show called i2K in Richmond, Virginia in Summer 2024; and he's just an absolute sweetie pie. Noteworthy moments include Vincent's game plan for how to treat acts that he books and how to network with other artists in addition to his experiences discovering acts that were seminal to him like George Clanton, Nmesh, and Windows 96. Joking around about Christian rock and reminiscing about the George Clanton fanclub and the Big Stream during the pandemic era also happened during our two hours with V4NGOE! How many chances do you give an album before you decide if you like it or dislike it? What beverages does Shiro drink while he's dieting? Is OSCOB truly the laziest vaporwave producer of all time? Only one way to find out and that's by listening to "Hot Takes"!   "Hot Takes" is a safe space for all opinions! Join the conversation at https://linktr.ee/hottakesvapor
