AI is revolutionizing the hiring process by enhancing human interaction and focusing on skills rather than traditional resumes. Brett Waikart, co-founder of Skillfully, explains how their platform utilizes AI to create realistic job simulations that allow candidates to demonstrate their skills in a practical setting. This approach addresses the challenges posed by the influx of AI-generated applications, enabling employers to filter through the noise and identify the most qualified candidates efficiently.Skillfully's innovative method shifts the hiring paradigm from merely assessing resumes to evaluating actual performance in job-related tasks. For instance, in sales roles, candidates can engage in simulations that mimic real-life scenarios, such as handling customer objections or conducting discovery conversations. This hands-on experience not only provides employers with a clearer picture of a candidate's capabilities but also significantly reduces the time and cost associated with the hiring process.The platform also plays a crucial role in preparing students for the workforce by offering them access to these simulations through partnerships with educational institutions. This experiential learning allows students to practice and refine their skills before entering the job market, creating a feedback loop between employers and universities. As a result, students gain valuable insights into the skills required in their desired careers, making them more competitive candidates.Looking ahead, Skillfully aims to expand its capabilities by incorporating multimodal simulations that assess not only traditional skills but also the ability to leverage AI tools effectively. This evolution will help employers identify candidates who can excel in their roles by utilizing AI to enhance their productivity. By focusing on both skill validation and the human element of hiring, Skillfully is paving the way for a more efficient and equitable employment landscape.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageTwenty years ago today, we bid farewell to a titan of world history and the Catholic Church - Pope John Paul II. His passing marked the end of an extraordinary 26-year pontificate that redefined the papacy, transformed the Church, and helped reshape the geopolitical landscape of our modern world.Born Karol Wojtyla in Poland, he emerged as the first non-Italian pope since the 16th century at a critical moment when many questioned whether anyone could effectively lead the Church amid the turbulence of modernity. Instead of shrinking from this challenge, he embraced it with unparalleled vigor, traveling to 129 countries, speaking to millions, and addressing contemporary issues from human rights to interfaith dialogue with remarkable insight and courage. Three books we used for todays podcastThe End and the BeginningThe Church and the Modern EraA Pope and A PresidentAs we commemorate this significant anniversary, John Paul II's legacy offers guidance for our complex times. His canonization in 2014 recognized what millions already knew – that in this remarkable man, we witnessed a rare alignment of personal holiness, intellectual brilliance, and moral courage that changed our world. What might his enduring message "Be not afraid" mean for you today?Key Points from the Episode:• First non-Italian pope in 455 years who became the most consequential pontiff in over 400 centuries• Traveled to 129 countries, engaging with millions and addressing contemporary issues from human rights to interfaith dialogue• Skillfully navigated implementation of Vatican II reforms, balancing tradition with modernity• His 1979 visit to Poland sparked the Solidarity movement that helped crack the Iron Curtain• Historic December 1989 meeting with Gorbachev symbolized communism's surrender to religious freedom• Canonized in 2014 after crowds chanted "Santo Subito" (Sainthood Now) following his death• His message "Be not afraid" remains a powerful call to courage, faith and action in uncertain timesContinue reflecting on how St. John Paul II's legacy has shaped your own faith journey, and join us as we pray for his intercession.Other resources: CC#10--Nine Days That Changed the World Want to leave a review?

Almost every single woman in a relationship (dating or married) needs reassurance sometimes. Unfortunately, many men don't know how to provide it in a way that really lands for her, which often causes unnecessary strife and disconnection.In one man's words, "I used to be the classic male 'fixer' and thought I would be the one to save the day by giving out suggestions of how she could overcome her anxiety. Surely one of those would work. The more suggestions or solutions to her issues I could come up, the better job I thought I was doing. After several years of this seemingly not working to soothe her anxiety, and sometimes making it worse, I have learned she is not looking for this."So what is she looking for? Here, we share our personal experiences around anxiety and effective soothing. We break it down into two categories of anxiety: when we're upset or challenged by something in life (work, family, friendships, etc.), and when we're upset about something in the relationship itself.If you've ever had a partner who fears she's too much, who looks to you for reassurance, or to whom you've wanted to provide deep, reliable, calming care and safety, you'll appreciate this one. Bonus? When you learn to soothe her well, you become even sexier to her.---Quotes from this episode:"'Are you looking for solutions or comfort?'""Sometimes not saying anything at all but just being able to listen is all she needs to be soothed.""I also assure her that I'm here for all of it, especially when she seems nervous that her emotions are 'too much.'""Validate my reasoning; even if it's not rational to you, it's logical to ME.""Our relationship has soared to new heights after learning how to properly soothe my woman."

Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge: dharma talks and meditation instruction
(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge) Some helpful and not so helpful attitudes we may bring to our meditation as experienced yogis.
Amari and the Despicable Wonders is the third and final book in his pitch-perfect middle grade fantasy series that puts a black girl at the heart of the action. The series has received tons of critical acclaim and the books have been #1 bestsellers and will soon be a major motion picture from Universal Pictures. Throughout the series, Amari grapples with what it means when entering a new magical world as the “chosen one” doesn't erase the prejudice and discrimination she's faced as a marginalized individual. Skillfully tackling social justice issues, including racism, classism, and prejudice, each book in the series has a thrilling fantasy-adventure plot with substance. My guest is the author B. B.

As I mentioned, our purpose for this class is to help people in their journey from member to mentor, from hero to “hero-maker.”We have a vision to start 30 powerful small groups, touching the lives of at least 300 people. We want to specifically prepare hosts, facilitators, and coaches.Studies show that in general, people are 2.5 times more likely to read the Bible, share their faith, have a regular prayer time alone and with their families if they're in a small group.
The Shred is a weekly roundup of who's raised funds, who's getting acquired and who's on the move in the world of recruitment. The Shred is brought to you today by Jobcase.
Founder of Abella Consulting and Say It Skillfully Inc., Molly Tschang helps senior management and their teams to Win As One. Molly is host of the popular Say It Skillfully® podcast and video series; and has helped executives navigate over 80 mergers and acquisitions and the human after-effects of intense change. In her conversation with Ryan, Molly names her three parallels between navigating leadership on the tennis court and in the boardroom, including the notion that to be a good leader is to be a good coach. Molly also emphasizes the point that good leaders really want to know the truth, and why having a ‘shared reality' between all levels of an organization is paramount in performing at the highest possible level. Molly also gives advice to not let the fear of saying something ‘perfectly' hold us back from communicating openly, and why we need to make peace with the things we really can't change.

Many of us struggle with emotional eating. And that's because food is a reliable way to manage our unwanted emotions. Think: Bored. Stressed. Lonely. Angry. Anxious. When we're experiencing difficult emotions, it's natural to turn to food. But here's something that's also common: some of us label ourselves as emotional eaters, when that's not actually the case. For some of us, something else altogether is going on: We just LOVE food. A lot. The truth is, some of us love food so much that we don't know how to contain ourselves. We overdo it because we love it so much. In the midst of our food love affair, it seems we can lose our ability to manage how much food we eat. So it's not so much that we have a “problem” with food – instead, we love it so much that we can easily go overboard. If this sounds familiar, this episode will really hit home. Marc David coaches 35-year old guest client, Romana, who has long assumed that she's an emotional eater. In an effort to put an end to her ‘emotional eating,' Romana wonders: how can she only eat when she's hungry? What does she need to do to control herself? And why does she go against her own wishes when it comes to how much she eats? But in the course of their session, Marc helps Romana recognize that her challenge is a bit different from what she imagines it to be. What Romana believes is her “food issue” is actually just a deep love and excitement for food. So how does Romana and the rest of us love food, without overdoing it? By owning, honoring, and embracing that love. And also learning that loving food in a good way – in a way that supports our body, mind, and soul – means we must cultivate some real SKILL. The truth is, most of us who struggle with emotional eating and overeating simply haven't learned key skills around eating and pleasure. So in this episode, you'll hear Marc explore:
Today we're continuing the conversation on modular construction w/ Rommel Sulit and Chris Krager. Buckle up for some quotable quotes and impactful ideas in this episode. A recurring theme from part 1 is present here. Could it be the case that because modular delivery must rethink basic assumptions, it may be the first area of the AEC to do what the rest of the AEC is not. At core, the role of architecture is to create the link between design intent and what is actually built. This is not easy, nor simple. It means managing multiple streams of expertise and action so that they are effectively coordinated and integrated into a finished livable space.Modular requires a high resolution understanding of why we build the way we do, what are its strengths and weaknesses, and, particularly, where are the key leverage points to unlock change. Because as they say in this episode, there's no way around the reality that when it comes to AEC practices, We have to Pivot at somewhere. Modular delivery is perhaps, at heart, a recognition of this truth.Rommel SulitFounding Principal and Chief Operations Officer at Forge Craft Architecture + Design. With 25 years of experience, Rommel founded Forge Craft with Scott Grinder to improve lives through the art and science of architecture and design. Rommel developed his architectural philosophy working on projects that span demographics, geographies and types at the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) with Rem Koolhaas, Page Southerland Page, Rhode Partners and BOKA Powell.

Topics:The Importance of Human CapitalBenefits of Difficult ConversationsUnderstanding Founder's Goals ...and so much more.Top TakeawaysHuman capital management and value creation go hand in hand.

Indoctrinating the Youth: Secondary Education in Wartime China and Postwar Taiwan, 1937-1960 (U Hawaii Press, 2024) examines how the Guomindang (GMD or Nationalists) sought to maintain control of middle-school students and cultivate their political loyalty over the trajectory of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Chinese Civil War, and postwar Taiwan. During the Sino-Japanese War the Nationalists managed middle-school refugee students by merging schools, publishing and distributing updated textbooks, and assisting students as they migrated to the interior with their principals and teachers. In Taiwan, the China Youth Corps (CYC) became a symbol of the regime's successful establishment. Tracing Nationalist efforts to indoctrinate ideology and martial spirit, Jennifer Liu investigates how GMD leaders Chiang Kai-shek and his son Chiang Ching-kuo tried to build support among young people in their efforts to stabilize Taiwanese society under their rule. By comparing two key youth organizations—the Three People's Principles Youth Corps in China, and the CYC on Taiwan—Liu uses education as a lens to analyze state-building in modern China. Liu's careful analysis of the inner workings of GMD youth organizations also illuminates the day-to-day operations of military training in gender-segregated upper-middle schools—including how the government selected instructors and the skills taught to students. According to Liu, mandatory military training contributed to preventing major protest against the government but the policy was not without critics. Intellectuals, parents, and students voiced their dissent at what they perceived as excessive control by a repressive government and a waste of resources interfering with academics. The government-mandated civics curriculum, including government-approved textbooks and standards, reveals the characteristics and duties GMD officials believed modern citizens of the next generation should possess. Through provisions for refugee students, youth organizations, military training, and civics classes, GMD secondary education policy played a critical role in the process of state building in both modern China and Taiwan. Skillfully combining archival work in Nanjing and Taipei, along with oral interviews with former students and CYC administrators, instructors, and members, Liu offers a unique perspective toward a balanced assessment of Nationalist Party rule. Jennifer Liu is associate professor of East Asian history at Central Michigan University. She specializes in the political and social history of twentieth-century China, particularly education, youth culture, student protest, and ethnic identity. Li-Ping Chen is a teaching fellow in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in Sinophone, inter-Asian, and transpacific contexts. Learn more about your ad choices.
