Podcasts about Solid Foundation

In the final episode of Manager Minute, host Carol Pankow closes out the series with a powerful conversation featuring Chanda Hermanson, Director of Montana Combined Vocational Rehabilitation (VR). Chanda's lifelong passion for the field—shaped by family connections and early volunteering—has guided Montana's innovative approach to serving people with disabilities across a vast and rural state. Together, they reflect on Montana's recent breakthroughs, including legislative support for counselors, expanded telecommunications access, and the funding of a Blind Adjustment program. They also discuss the tough but necessary decision to enter Order of Selection, and how aligning with state priorities in behavioral health and foster care strengthens VR's impact. This inspiring finale reminds VR leaders nationwide to stay mission-focused, innovative, and unwavering in their commitment to meaningful employment opportunities for all.   Listen Here   Full Transcript:   {Music}   Chanda: What are their priorities? The people that are making these decisions. Who's the chair of the committee? What do they want? Right. And really figuring out what the governor's office priorities are. These types of things. And then figuring out how to get ourselves into those conversations. Listen, listen, listen and then infiltrate.   Carol: I know you don't have a crystal ball, but if you did, what do you have for some thoughts on what VR leaders need to pay attention to and what's on the horizon for VR?   Chanda: That's tough. I wish I had a crystal ball. I think all of our crystal balls are broken right now.   Intro Voice: Manager Minute brought to you by the VRTAC for Quality Management, Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time, one minute at a time. Here is your host Carol Pankow.   Carol: Welcome to the manager minute. Joining me in the studio today is Chanda Hermanson, director of Montana Combined. So, Chanda, how are things going in Montana.   Chanda: It's good, busy, busy work and lots going on, but going good overall.   Carol: Well, it's so great to have you back on the podcast. I looked back through the archives. Saw you were last with me November of 2021 and we were talking about, "Is Your Fiscal Management Managed Building a Solid Foundation for Fiscal Fitness". And you've done and you continue to do so, an outstanding job assembling a stellar team to support the fiscal side of the House. And of course, Anna Montana is one of our very favorite people. So for our listeners, I had the opportunity to reconnect with Chanda during the region eight meeting in South Dakota, and 45 incredible staff from the region came together for training, connection and sharing and it was a really fun two days. Eric, director of South Dakota General, was leading a portion of the meeting and folks were going around sharing about challenges and opportunities when it got to Chanda. She shared some truly inspiring things happening in Montana. And I thought right then and there. That is what I want to talk about on my last podcast. Over the last five years, we've covered so many meaningful topics, and we need to go out on a high note. This is our 54th and final episode of The Manager Minute. So together we started conversations, started a movement of rapid and meaningful engagement, tackled tough topics like order selection and finance work to bridge the gap between the DSA and the DSU highlighted so many innovative Diff grants and exciting initiatives from across the country. I truly believe we've helped plant seeds of change nationwide, so let's dig in. So, Chanda, for those who may not know you, can you remind our listeners about your background and how you got into VR?   Chanda: Sure. I have been in the field about 20 years formerly, but I was in the field volunteering and doing other things previous to the formal employment with Voc rehab. My parents both worked in the field, so I was lucky enough to grow up in a household where this was our daily dinner conversations, and my parents and my siblings are recipients of Voc Rehab services, so the program's near and dear to me. When I was 19, the Montana started the Youth Leadership Forum. That was my mom's program at the time, and I was able and told that I she needed volunteers to work this summer program for youth with disabilities. And I came home and helped through that and fell in love with the work more directly than I did growing up. So since then, I tried other things along the way. But this is definitely where I'm meant to be and I'm so lucky to be here. I love it.   Carol: That is super cool. I didn't remember that about you, I love it. My mom, she had been volunteer coordinator at our state hospital back in Faribault, Minnesota when I was growing up, so I remember very well going with her and helping, and I would volunteer for things and ended up working there before it closed and kind of just gotten into the whole field of disabilities. So our parents definitely can help us, like lead the way. That is just cool.   Chanda: I didn't realize you had also.   Carol: Tell us about Montana Combined, how many staff and consumers do you serve? And kind of what's your budget?   Chanda: Like our budget's about $19 million a year annually, give or take, where things are going on. We have about 100 staff supporting the rehab program in our blind and low vision service programs, too. So that's the number of staff we have on board. We also have separate things out differently. So we have Pre-ETS in there. They're their own bureau. We have blind and low vision. They're their own bureau. And then we function together as a combined voc rehab program. Though we are serving about 5000 people under voc rehab and 3000 students in Pre-ETS.   Carol: Wow. So you're not small. Sometimes people are thinking, oh, maybe you're from a small state. You're not a smallish program, you're more a mid-size.   Chanda: And people are very far apart here. The numbers maybe don't look that much, but when you need to get to everybody in every corner of Montana, it's a trek.   Carol: Yeah, and travel is rough. Like, it's not an easy haul.   Chanda: No.   Carol: So let's talk about your good news. What exciting developments do you have to share?   Chanda: Yeah. So we just ended our 2025 legislative session in May. Our legislative body meets every other year for 90 days. So it is a fast and furious process. But we survived. That's always the first thing we did get through it. But we did get out pretty successfully compared to a lot of our peers in public health and human services and a lot of other programs just statewide. We went into the session asking, well, just start this off to we are lucky enough to traditionally get our state match without a problem. It's always just part of what they, it's our start of our base budget so that we are fortunate for that. Where we struggle is our staffing levels and getting the appropriation to get the FTE, we need to really provide a quality service to people more than managing those cases. We don't have autonomy over the number of employees we can hire, so that's always our struggle. So we went in asking for four FTE to support the individualized placement and supported employment model, and serving the serious, disabling mental illness population for counselors for that project and then one FTE to work in the state hospital. We are in and out of the state hospital, constantly taking applications and helping people prepare for work before discharge. We just thought that it would behoove us to actually just have a staff member in the hospital setting, rather than being disruptive going in and out. We also, outside of Oak Ridge, have asked for some more appropriation to support our telecommunication access work and two more FTE there, just given the high increase in need and work. And then we also requested funding and an FTE to create a Blind Adjustment program to meet the gap in services that we created when the homemaker was no longer allowed as an employment goal. So those were our asks. We didn't get everything we asked for, but we did come out with two new counselors for the STMI-IPS work and our telecommunication money into FTE. So while that's not directly related to VR, it does help our voc rehab program and help those participants in gaining access to equipment and services to make sure their communication needs are met. And then we also did get the funding for the Blind Adjustment program. So that was really exciting. It's been hard for us to turn away people that are going through the onset of vision loss, and if they're not really wanting to talk about work, it's under the age of 55. That's definitely been an area of opportunity. So we're excited to get to serve those folks now in a different way.   Carol: That is super amazing, because it's almost like unheard of lately where people have kind of good news where you went in, you asked for these things and you got stuff.   Chanda: That some of it not all, but some of it. And I also we didn't ask for it. It wasn't part of our decision package request. But our providers did a great job lobbying this year and they got themselves a couple of provider rate increases, so it amounts to about a 17% provider rate increase. And so that comes along with more state general funds. So that's going to give us more ability to draw down some realignment that maybe we wouldn't have been able to if those guys didn't lobby for those provider rate increases.   Carol: So good on you. That is pretty incredible. I know IPS is a really popular program across the country and successful. It's wanted and very foundational. It's got good statistics about what has happened with that. Your telecommunications project. You talk a little more about that, what it all does.   Chanda: Yeah. Our telecommunication access program provides phone equipment and maybe cell phones or some of your old big button phones and different speaker system type of things that we also cover the relay system in Montana, and we provide for transcription on zoom and public meetings and various groups around the state. So with the increased need for people to access broadband and internet. Type of activities we are seeing. Not only is the need increasing, but the cost of all of it's increasing too. So we're really happy to get to support that.   Carol: Yeah, that is very cool. I know broadband was a big issue in Minnesota for a long time. When I was working at the Department of Employment and Economic Development, we had a broadband initiative because I wondered if yours had a little to do with that, because we have super rural areas. I mean, you definitely we have the Twin Cities, you know, metro area, but you get out state. It's tough. And people are talking about, you know, if you wanted to be self-employed or different things you can do via internet. Well, yeah, only if you can access that. If there's no connectivity, you're done. Like you don't even have that option out there. So I really get to pay attention firsthand at how important access to communication is for everybody.   Chanda: So important. And we already are experiencing, you know, in the disability community, isolation issues just in general. So this is really a great solution to get to people if they're out in a very frontier part of Montana. This can help really get them a sense of community in other ways.   Carol: Yeah, that's just direct boots on the ground. Wonderful access for folks, I love that. So I'm sure you had to do some background stuff. You didn't just waltz in and go, hey, I want this stuff. Give it to me. They're not likely. They're like, yeah, we like you, Shannon, but not that much. We need something. What kind of things did you pull together, like, data wise, to support your request?   Chanda: Sure. Well, first, it's just paying attention to what elected officials priorities are. That's the first kind of anecdotal data to be gathering. So really listening to the governor's initiatives and what his priorities are, along with, again, these elected officials that are on our committee subcommittee making the decisions about are the first decisions about our budget, which is the most important decision as it works our way through the entire session. So through that, we really observed that there's strong emphasis on behavioral health systems change in Montana in foster care, too, and we realize we are part of that system, not in the way that everybody was talking about it or thinking about it. I'm a lot more of what they're having to talk about, right? As case management and housing and all the other things. And employment doesn't even rise to the surface when you're hearing those things, because it's just different mindset. And so we took that and leveraged it to start joining those conversations and talk about how employment is a social determinants of health for the population, and all the benefits of employment that augments and assists all the things that they are talking about. It helps with treatment and recovery and provide stability can help with the housing issues. It gives people a sense of purpose. All of this prevents relapse and homelessness. And so just really getting to take the opportunity to join the conversation and talk about it in a different way to just educate folks on how employment can support all of this other work they're doing. A lot of people tend to lean into safety, safety, safety, when they're making these decisions, not realizing that employment is part of that safety. And I think a lot of times people really get linear thinking like, okay, you need x, y, and Z, and then you're going to be ready for employment, not realizing that employment can come in any step of the way and really change the trajectory of all those other things you're providing them. So through that, we dug into the data. What are our caseloads look like? What is the general population for people needing behavioral health services in Montana? And we found that 34% of Montana's caseload are individuals with behavioral health disabilities. So that equates to about 1500 people on our caseload right now. And when you look at the general census in Montana, there's about 163,000 people with health disability. So we are only serving a sliver. And we know that typically through our research that two thirds of people with behavior, health disabilities typically want to go to work. So through combining all of that data and telling a story and telling stories of people successfully navigating this in their communities. I do believe that that's what helped us get across the finish line, to make sure that we can really do more work, and we're excited. It is important to us.   Carol: Yeah, you were really smart. I mean, you were listening. I can hear you. You were listening to what people were talking about. And how could you leverage and be part of that conversation, which takes time. I'm sure you didn't do this in a day. I mean, this takes years. Like building relationships and getting invited to those meetings and being able to discuss those ideas. I think that is brilliant. What would you say to your fellow colleagues across the country who might be wanting to consider something similar in their state? Like, what would you suggest to them on how to start or how to get kind of involved or part of those conversations?   Chanda: I'm just going to reiterate again. Listen, listen, listen. It's the beat of our drum. The last 2 or 3 years of the leadership team here in Montana has been listen. Listen, listen and then infiltrate. So what are people talking about? What are their priorities? The people that are making these decisions. Who's the chair of the committee? What do they want? Right. And really figuring out what the governor's office priorities are, these types of things, and then figuring out how to get ourselves into those conversations. And we're really lucky in rehab because we touch everything, whether it's manufacturing coming into the state or behavioral health issues, or what can we do to improve foster care systems in Montana, you name it. Many of the things that the legislators are worried about and are making decisions about, we touch so we can get ourselves at the table and talk about how we can influence what they're talking about and how we're already making an impact. It's so cool what we do.   Carol: It is cool because we have such variety. It makes the job super creative, like you can really do a variety of things that are amazing and wonderful and impact people's lives in such a big way. Like you say, with employment, you know that trajectory. Sometimes people think you need all these things first? But boy, you get that job, which also helps in with your housing and all the other things that are going on. You can intersect at any point. I love that, I think that's really good. I know you don't have a crystal ball, but if you did, what do you have for some thoughts on what VR leaders need to pay attention to and what's on the horizon for VR?   Chanda: That's tough. I wish I had a crystal ball. I think all of our crystal balls are broken right now. I don't have a thought of what is on the horizon, but I do know that we just need to stay focused on our mission and values and the vision of what we have and don't falter. We have and work for one of the coolest programs out there and get to be innovative and creative and like we were just referring to, we can pivot and message around so many things that make what we do compelling to different decision makers. I think that's pretty unique, and I think there's ways to take advantage of that to make sure that we survive and thrive regardless of what happens, because we do have so much impact across the board. So but if we don't, we need to stay focused on our mission and values to make sure we're successful and don't get lose sight of that along the way.   Carol: I agree with that 100%. I think living into our mission and doing it well and not drifting kind of all over the place. If we get people disabilities into employment and good employment, not just food, filth and flowers, but real employment, that's what it's all about. And when we get distracted by other stuff, or maybe our performance doesn't look as good and all of that, we got to stay focused early, head down. Here's what we're trying to do, because that's the whole reason this wonderful program has existed for over 100 years. So head down, do the thing.   Chanda: Yes.   Carol: 100%. That is awesome. Well, this actually wraps up our final episode of The Manager Minute. Now, I know you have some other news. Probably. Do you want to talk about it today? Because you are going an Order of Selection, and I know states are facing that as well. We've talked to a couple states lately about that, talked with Indiana, talked with Cora in Kentucky. And while we have all this wonderful work going forward, we still have this lever that Congress lets us pull when we don't have all the resources to serve every single person coming at the door. And for you, this is a really live situation that's happening as we speak.   Chanda: Correct. We actually went into Order Selection today. We closed categories two and three. So it's been a long process working with RSA since February. But we're happy. It's bittersweet. I mean, we're not happy to get order of selection, but for the health of the program and to make sure that we can continue to provide high quality services and to not dilute client services, it's what needed to happen. Our caseloads are unmanageable. We're looking at caseloads that are about 170, on top of just the general cost of services continuing to increase. Our fiscal forecasting was clear we needed to get into order sooner than later so we could manage the best we can.   Carol: It's a good way to look at it, because you don't want the services to dilute, because it ends up where staff are kind of applying an order without the order being in play. You get a lot of people getting a little bits of stuff instead of people really getting what they need. And so it does provide a more organized way in which to structure and to handle all of this. And I like that about it. I think Congress wouldn't put it into place. If we weren't allowed to pull the lever and make that happen, it does make it organize it. It helps your staff to be able to do the work that they want to do and to help people to get into employment. So I think that is very good. Do you have any thoughts for your colleagues on that too? Because I've had several calls, even in the last week. Again, people are like, I think we're looking at this. Any tips for people out there?   Chanda: The one thing I would say is relook at your CSNA, get familiar with your data that's out there. That's going to be important as you look at amending your state plan and contact RSA sooner than later. I had received that advice from a colleague and that was I wouldn't, I don't think have naturally contacted RSA that soon in the process and I'm glad I did.   Carol: Yeah, that's 100% smart advice. Definitely talking to your team sooner than later. They can help you along the way, for sure, with that. Well, I wish you good luck with all that implementing. I know it's tough. I mean, it is tough in the messaging, but I know also you have built back from even when we talked in 21 that financial solid group. And so your fiscal forecasting is on Anna is on it. You have really good people and they are doing really good stuff with making sure you have the data for making good decisions. I just think your team has been very amazing and that has been an a lot credit to you in helping to build that foundation.   Chanda: Well thank you. We have an awesome team and I truly can't believe that that podcast was four years ago. That was definitely a different time. And we have improved and built infrastructure now, sound methods and internal controls. So it's good to know that the decisions that we're making are dead driven, inaccurate, and that is what we need to do to stay healthy.   Carol: It's a whole different world. It really is. And it is funny. It's been four years, but I sure appreciate you being on today. And so this does wrap up my final episode of The Manager Minute, and I want to say thanks to every listener, guest, and colleague who's been part of this journey. Keep leading with purpose and passion because what you do changes lives every single day. And Jeff, you get the honor of hitting the lights. We're `out.   {Music}   Outro Voice: Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time, one minute at a time, brought to you by the VR TAC for Quality Management.

This is coming from a post that I saw by Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) and it all centers around Character. The fact that he is sharing some thoughts about the importance of character. If there is ever a time where the world needs to re-focus on character - it's now! We all need to look in the mirror and help ourselves out with living with & improving our character. The so-called “leaders” of our world - certainly need to do the same, probably more so because they do call themselves “leaders”. They need to lead… help to make things better for all of us… it's time!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with the Executive Director of the Montana State Parks Foundation, Megan Buecking. No doubt many of you may be asking, "is that the formal name for the branch of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks that runs all Montana's State Parks?". We thought the same thing but when you listen to this Podcast you will learn that is a completely different organization. The Montana State Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization that in essence raises funds for the things that the State Parks need or would like to provide but can't afford. So, does Montana's State Parks just not get enough tax dollars? Well, State parks don't receive any of your tax dollars. So, how do they get by? Listen to this week's Podcast to find out!  Megan and all the folks involved with the Foundation not only help raise money for many of the special projects and services that our State Parks provide but also helps come up with some of the great ideas that you come across when you visit Montana's State Parks. For example, the Montana State Parks Foundation provides those amazing all terrain Track Chairs that allow disabled park goers to go just about anywhere anyone else can go around the parks. Going for a hike was basically impossible for our disabled veterans and other disabled park goers before those came along. And best of all those wonderful pieces of technology are available at no cost to use! There is whole lot of other incredible things that Megan's organization provides that will blow you away, plus you will also get to hear about Montana's newest State Park that will be bringing some incredible history to life soon.

On first reading, it seems fair to ask why Lamentations 4? It's a fair question to ask because, for the most part, the poet simply rehashes chapters 1-3. But upon further meditation on the poem, one comes to appreciate its value for God's people in helping them process and respond rightly to his judgement in repentance and faith. In his judgment against Judah, God is not only reversing their fortunes but also restoring their hope in Him alone.

In this episode, I'm responding to a voice memo from a friend and fellow soccer parent who's been using the 30-day programs inside Anytime Soccer Training. She loves how simple and organized it is — and I totally get it. That's why I built those plans.But I also wanted to share something deeper — how I stumbled on what I now call a cheat code for building a rock-solid technical foundation at home. I talk about how the program evolved, why structure and variation matter so much, and how even something as simple as pinning a few videos to a training session folder can make a massive difference.This isn't about doing it my way — it's about giving you the tools and showing you what's possible when you mix the right system with the human connection only a parent can provide.If you're using Anytime Soccer Training — or thinking about it — this one will help you see how to unlock its full power. Let's get better together.

If there's one thing I've learned about risk-taking, it's to establish a solid foundation before you leap. My advice: focus on securing your bread-and-butter income stream first. Get your base fully established so you can leap from a place of stability, not scarcity. When you're unsure, it's not the time to leap; it's the time to build. Spend around 80% of your energy on solidifying your foundation, whether it's marketing or moneymaking efforts, and 20% on exploring the thing that excites you. This way, when you're ready to leap, you'll have that solid foundation in place to support you. Trust me, I've had plenty of leaps—some with solid ground beneath me and some without. When the foundation is strong, the leaps work out. So, take the time to build your foundation and nurture your nervous system along the way. It's a game-changer.

What truly satisfies us? We can try all we want to make the world our happiness, but it will never fulfill us. Only God can.

In this lecture, Christian shares insights drawn from personal experiences and biblical teachings, drawing a parallel between life lessons and the foundation upon which we build our spiritual lives. He begins with a heartfelt reflection on the teachings of his grandfather, whom he lovingly referred to as Poppy. Poppy's commitment to God's shalom, a term embodying peace and right relationship between God, humanity, and nature, served as a framework for many important life lessons. Christian emphasizes the significance of understanding one's relationship with land and creation, recounting how Poppy instilled a sense of reverence for the earth by sharing knowledge about agriculture and the natural world, which serves as a metaphor for deeper spiritual truths. Transitioning into his main topic, Christian references the parable Jesus tells about two men who build houses — one on a solid foundation and the other without any. This parable is situated within the larger context of Jesus's Sermon on the Plain, where He outlines a new way of living for those who follow Him, urging listeners to embrace radical love, forgiveness, and selflessness. Christian emphasizes that the commands from Jesus, such as loving one's enemies and forgiving others, are revolutionary yet challenging, highlighting the necessity of divine assistance through the Holy Spirit to live out these teachings. He explains that simply hearing Jesus's words is inadequate; true wisdom lies in acting upon them, suggesting that obedience acts as the bedrock of a life built on faith.Drawing further from scripture, Christian deepens the exploration of the concept of the "Word of God" as foundational truth. He cites various biblical passages to reinforce the idea that Jesus, the Word made flesh, reveals God's intentions and wisdom. The importance of engaging with scripture is highlighted, noting that many in the contemporary church fall short of regularly reading the Bible, leading to a weakened foundation of faith. He points out that the statistics from recent studies reveal a concerning trend of biblical illiteracy among churchgoers, thereby questioning how individuals can build their lives firmly without a clear understanding of God's directives.In a poignant moment, Christian shares personal testimony about facing the serious illness of a loved one, reflecting on the emotional turmoil and uncertainty that accompanies such events. In these challenging moments, he underscores the comfort and strength derived from his spiritual foundation. He reiterates that though life may subject us to storms and trials, a house grounded on the teachings of Christ will withstand the floods that may come. Christian encourages the audience to remain rooted in prayer and scripture, offering practical steps to deepen their faith, such as dedicating time to read and understand God's Word.Ultimately, Christian conveys a message of hope and resilience, asserting that while the journey of faith is fraught with challenges, embracing the foundational teachings of Jesus allows individuals to endure life's trials. He calls on the listeners to reassess their foundations, offering them opportunities for prayer and guidance to build their lives on a rock-solid spiritual foundation, anchored in the transformative power of Christ's teachings. The lecture concludes with a prayer, asking for strength and commitment to remain steadfast in faith, echoing the call to rely on the foundational truths of God during both good times and adversity.

In this engaging episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee reflects on the importance of building a solid foundation in life, drawing from a personal narrative of his high school football days in Texas—a state where high school football is celebrated with the grandeur akin to that of college sports. Baylor recounts vividly a moment when he learned the crucial difference between perception and reality through an injury that he initially misunderstood due to relying on limited advice. This narrative becomes a powerful metaphor for understanding how foundational truths in our life can impact growth and success. Baylor dives deep into the necessity of having a robust foundation across all life aspects—physical, mental, and emotional. He emphasizes the significance of trusting oneself and recognizing the instincts that alert us to cracks in our foundations, whether in personal health or in relationships. Throughout the episode, he encourages listeners not to rely solely on external opinions but to seek solid ground from within. Aimed at listeners focused on personal development, Baylor's insights create a roadmap for strengthening one's foundation as a precursor to achieving long-term goals. Key Takeaways: Trust Your Instincts: When something feels off, trust that feeling and take action. Your instinct can often detect faults that aren't readily apparent. Solid Foundations are Crucial: Building a healthy, strong foundation in all life areas is essential for achieving long-term success. Question Your Sources: When receiving advice, consider the credibility and knowledge of the source to avoid misguided actions. Be Mindful of Your Circle: Surround yourself with supportive relationships that align with your personal development goals. Adapt and Rebuild: Accept mistakes and setbacks as part of the growth process, and focus on rebuilding stronger foundations to move forward. Notable Quotes: "I appreciate you for making my dream a reality." "It's important that you're building solid foundations." "If it doesn't feel right, it's not right." "The foundation matters. Without a solid foundation, nothing works." "Trust yourself when you know something isn't right."
