With a rich background in real estate and a knack for turning complex financial strategies into practical solutions, Lucy shares her journey from struggling with inconsistent sales processes to mastering a standardised approach that has led to sustainable revenue growth. In this episode, we'll uncover why platforms like LinkedIn are more suited for corporate engagement compared to Instagram, the importance of joining supportive professional communities, and how personalising training can make a significant difference. Lucy also provides valuable insights into setting boundaries, improving client communication, and the key to successful negotiation—even when it means facing rejection. Whether you're looking to refine your sales pipeline, develop better proposals, or simply gain more confidence in your business dealings, Lucy's experiences and strategies offer a wealth of knowledge. So, join us as we explore the transformative power of standardising your sales approach and unlocking new opportunities in the corporate world.    In this episode I'm sharing; How Lucy standardised her sales approach to generate consistent revenue and her sales methods explained. How to balance your workload and boundaries to maintain prospects. Learn to identify red flags early and improve the sales pipeline. How standardising reduces errors and the impact of over-personalising proposals on efficiency and evaluation. Being part of a qualified community such as The C Suite ® provides consistent, reliable guidance. Detaching personal feelings from rejections by focusing on fit and why rejection in sales isn't catastrophic.   Key Quotes;   Lucy Gordon -  My issue was that I was not very good at the sales process, I can talk about myself and how amazing I am at financial modelling. But I just wasn't very good at getting consistent sales and setting up procedures properly.   Jess - I think everyone who's an entrepreneur has heard the stat around, like, 90% of businesses fail within the 1st 5 years and most people think it's because their product wasn't good enough or their website didn't look great or something like that. But actually, it comes down to you didn't sell enough, and you didn't plan to have the right cash flow at the right points.   Lucy Gordon - As a solopreneur you're waiting for someone to pay your invoice before you can actually pay yourself. But it's the same with companies, everyone has cash flow issues, and that's the reason so many companies fail. So you need to be able to try and predict when that money is coming in before you start being able to spend other money.    Jess -  I think it's really interesting when entrepreneurs realise that businesses look at cash flow too and prioritise that. And I think it's interesting because most people assume that businesses are just big corporations, they make money all the time so it's really easy for them.   Lucy Gordon - I had quite bad boundaries with everything that I was doing and that was the other reason for joining The C Suite ®. I needed to make sure that I was being more consistent with my business development and then also putting in those boundaries to say, no. You're not getting all of this time of mine for free. I can't have endless workshops and handover days and stuff because they all take up my time when I should be prioritising other clients and prioritising my BD.   Jess - When we're newer to sales, I think standardising sales processes feel scary because people think, well, I have to make it as personal as possible so that they like me because people buy from people they know, like, and trust. And that just isn't the same in the corporate space, or they feel that personalising everything to within an inch of its life gives more credibility. When it doesn't, it just gives you a sales process ultimately that has a lot of potential leaky gaps that you don't know how to fix because you can't identify what's gone wrong.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) accounting has become increasingly important in recent years due to the demand for more environmental accountability. Whether by choice or due to legislation or mandatory Government led schemes, organisations need to able to effectively calculate their current impact before they can the right steps to reduce and offset the remaining emissions. There are a lot of different routes to take, and some may look so similar that you have to squint to see a difference. In this episode, Mel Blackmore breaks down the similarities and differences between the leading GHG emission reporting frameworks, ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.

[02:30] Episode summary: Mel will look at the similarities and differences between the 2 leading GHG emissions reporting frameworks, the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1:2018. [02:20] What are the 2 leading GHG accounting frameworks? – Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting has become increasingly important for organisations seeking to manage their environmental impact and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. Two prominent frameworks guide this process: ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Climate change concerns necessitate robust methodologies for quantifying and reporting organisational GHG emissions. Standardised frameworks offer a transparent and reliable approach for organisations to measure their impact and contribute to environmental sustainability goals. This article examines two leading frameworks: ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. [06:10] What are the similarities between the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064? – GHG Scope Definition: Both frameworks categorise emissions into three scopes: Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam), and Scope 3 (other indirect emissions throughout the value chain). In general, the GHG Emissions covered in the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard conform to ISO 14064-1 if significant Sope 3 GHG emissions and GHG removals are both considered. Quantification Principles: Both emphasize the importance of accuracy, completeness, consistency, transparency, and relevance when quantifying emissions. GHG Reporting Boundaries: Both require clear definition of the organisational boundaries for which emissions are quantified. GHG Inventory: Both frameworks guide the development of a GHG inventory, a comprehensive record of all organisational emissions. [09:15] What are the differences between the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064? – Focus: ISO 14064-1 is a more procedural framework, outlining the steps for quantifying, reporting, and verifying GHG emissions. The GHG Protocol, on the other hand, offers detailed guidance on calculating emissions for various activities and sectors but lacks formal verification requirements. Level of Detail: The GHG Protocol provides a more comprehensive and detailed approach, including calculation methods, guidance on emission factors, and best practices. ISO 14064-1 offers a less prescriptive approach, allowing organisations to choose calculation methodologies based on their specific needs. Avoided GHG Emissions: The concept of avoided GHG emissions is not addressed in ISO 14064-1.  However, the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard addresses the quantification of avoided emissions, which are required to be reported separately. Verification: Verification by a third-party verifier is optional under the GHG Protocol but mandatory for organisations seeking public disclosure or certification under ISO 14064-1. Verification enhances the credibility and reliability of reported emissions data, this could be to schemes like EcoVadis. Value Chain Emissions: While both frameworks acknowledge Scope 3 emissions, the GHG Protocol offers a dedicated standard - the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard - providing specific guidance on quantifying these emissions. Addressing GHG Emissions and Removals: ISO 14064-1 clearly address GHG emissions and removals for each  category and removals are therefore an inherent part of the GHG quantification. The guidance in the GHG protocol is not as clear but allows for the reporting of removals separately from GHG Emissions.

Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [17:05] Reporting on indirect emissions:  The main challenge for organisations is the reporting of indirect emissions (Scope 3), often leading to confusion based on a lack of clarity and understanding of how granular the data needs to be, combined with challenges extracting data from third-parties.  ISO 14064-1 is very clear regarding which Scope 3 emissions are to be included, whereas the GHG Protocol standard maybe viewed as more open to interpretation. In contrast, GHG Protocol standards require the inclusion of Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy); the inclusion of other indirect GHG Emissions under scope 3 is optional. The GHG Protocol standard is referred to in various GHG reporting and disclosure initiatives whose requirements for the reporting of the Scope 3 emissions vary.  Whereas ISO 14064-1 has been created and approved by representatives from 61 nations to determine a specification for Scope 3 emissions reporting. [20:30] Choosing the right Framework: The choice between ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol depends on an organisation's specific needs and goals. Here are some considerations: ·      Is there a need for Verification? i.e. is it a mandatory requirement ·      What level of detail is required? If a detailed approach with extensive calculation guidance is preferred, the GHG Protocol might be more suitable. ·      Resource availability – Do you have the resource to do this yourself or will you need a helping hand? ·      Disclosure reporting requirements – check what you need to comply with as this could determine which framework you use. [23:30] How can the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 complement each other? -  This podcast may have you thinking that it has to be one or the other, but in actuality the two frameworks can be used together effectively. Organisations can utilise the GHG Protocol's detailed guidance to develop their GHG inventory and then follow ISO 14064-1's process for verification and reporting.

From 2026 the government will introduce standardised testing for reading, writing and maths across all primary schools. Year one students will be required to sit phonics tests at 20 and 40 weeks of schooling and years 3-6 will be required to take PAT and e-asTTle. Around 60% of schools already use this type of testing. The reason for the introduction of testing is to improve education levels which are not up to standard, according to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. Education minister Erica Standford stated testing is important to keep parents informed about their child's progress. Stanford continued that the tests will allow teachers and principals with the data to track in aggregate their school's performance. Producer Elle spoke to Faculty of Education and Social Work PhD student Tom Pearce about the policy.

Producer Elle spoke to Faculty of Education and Social Work PhD student Tom Pearce about the policy.

An education expert says frequent, standardised testing makes children anxious and affects their mental wellbeing. From next year, the government will require primary schools to test children twice a year to measure their progress. That means phonics checks for new entrants; and for those in year three or higher -- reading, writing and maths assessments. Ruth Boyask, from Auckland University of Technology's school of education, spoke to Corin Dann.

A school principal says schools need more resources to support students, not mandatory tests. The Government's introducing phonics checks for primary pupils after 20 weeks of schooling and repeated at 40 weeks.   Twice yearly progression monitoring on reading, writing, and maths will also be introduced for children in Years 3 through 8.   Auckland's May Road School principal Lynda Stuart told Mike Hosking there are some children that those tests don't work for.   She says some have English as a second language and need more support in that area, and some have high anxiety with assessments.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government is set to introduce standardised tests to ensure primary schoolers meet the right standards academically.  Phonics checks will start for new students as young as five next year, and become compulsory from 2026. Progress on reading, writing and maths progress for years 3 to 8 will also be monitored twice a year. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper voices his approval for these new measures.

The Education Minister says many schools across the country welcome the idea of standardised testing in primary schools. Erica Stanford's announced next year, all children in their first year of schooling will do a phonics check to help teachers understand how well they read, by sounding out letters. Stanford says it's far from being controversial, despite criticism from Labour. "Look, I absolutely think there's a level of acceptance. Most schools are doing assessments, using tools - and they're doing it in a really good way." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The primary teachers union says the Government's new school tests won't make a difference.   The Government's introducing phonics checks done after 20 weeks of schooling and repeated at 40 weeks.   Progression monitoring on reading, writing, and maths will also be introduced for children in Years 3 through 8, and done twice a year.   NZEI president Mark Potter told Mike Hosking teachers already assess, analyse, and use that to inform their teaching.  He says there's not that many that don't use these tests, but if they don't, they'll have other assessments that give similar information.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emmanuelle PorcherCollège de FranceBiodiversité et écosystèmesAnnée 2023-2024Colloque - Nouvelles approches pour le suivi des plantes, des pollinisateurs et de leurs interactions dans un monde en changement : Structured Monitoring of Wild Flora in France Demonstrates 15 Years of Plant Community Changes Related to Climate Change and Pollinator LossGabrielle MartinEnseignante-chercheuse à l'université de Toulouse III Paul Sabatier et au Centre de Recherche sur la Biodiversité et l'Environnement (CRBE)RésuméStandardised long-term biodiversity monitoring schemes, based on repeated visits to fixed sites, offer the possibility of comparing biodiversity in space and time, while avoiding most of the biases associated with opportunistic data, particularly when the monitored sites are a representative (random) sample of ecosystems. When information on abundance is collected, standardised monitoring enables the detection of subtle temporal changes in populations, species and communities.In France, Vigie-flore is such a standardised monitoring scheme targeting wild flora launched in 2009, involving amateur and professional botanists to survey plant communities across all habitat types. The monitoring data have revealed an ongoing, nationwide reshuffling of plant communities in response to climate change, but also a decline of common insect-pollinated species over the last decade, with consequences for community composition. These studies contribute to highlighting rapid changes in wild flora on a national scale and identifying plausible mechanisms. We will discuss the direct implications for conservation and the perspectives of this plant monitoring scheme.Gabrielle MartinI am an associate professor in botany and plant community ecology at Toulouse University and at the Centre de Recherche sur la Biodiversité et l'Environnement since 2021. Previously a post-doctoral researcher in plant community ecology at the Centre des Sciences de la Conservation (CESCO) at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle and at the Institut Méditerranéen de Biodiversité et d'Ecologie after a PhD in ecology (MNHN). I study how, and with what intensity, the various components of global change affect the composition of plant communities and changes in species abundance, using trait-based approaches and spatio-temporal analyses. My current research focuses on the impacts of global change on wild flora, the links between temporal trends in species and plant life history traits, the detection of syndromes in the response of species and groups of species, and the identification of the spatial heterogeneity of threats to flora. I am teaching botany, plant biology and plant ecology at university at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

A-level results will be released this Saturday, so it's a big day for students waiting in bated breath as they find out where they're going next. Standardised testing is a practice that has sparked many debates globally: while educators say it can provide a level playing field, critics have pointed towards the need for more rounded assessments to account for 'fluid intelligence'.  Audrey, Ryan and Emaad have all taken their fair share of exams back in the day: they reflect on the process, and the pros and cons of these tests.

Recycling will become more efficient across the country, as new rules come into place today. Standardised recycling requires almost everyone to place paper, glass and plastic types 1, 2 and 5 in their bins. Lids and aerosol cans are no longer accepted, while items like empty pizza boxes are. Packaging Forum CEO Rob Langford says these changes have been in development for over a year now. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From today, recycling rules will be the same for most New Zealanders.  Standardised recycling has been introduced in a bid to make the process more efficient.  Items like plastic lids, coffee cups, and aerosol cans are no longer able to be recycled.  Waste Management NZ's David Howie told Mike Hosking that much of the country already has standardised recycling.  He says many councils have adopted the standard prior to today, and it works well.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As it stands, an adult commuters pays a price of €3.60 to travel 40km from Maynooth Train Station to Dublin Pearse, however the price rises to €5.15 for the equidistant journey from Ennis to Limerick Colbert. Currently just 280 people in this county are using the train on a daily basis, which is the third lowest proportion nationwide. Speaking in the Seanad Ennistymon Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway says all tax-payer routes should be standardised.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news financial markets are now turning their eyes to the US Fed meeting results tomorrow after it became clear today that while still easing, wringing the last bit of inflation's impulse from their economy could be tougher than first thought.The US Fed targets 2%.The American November inflation rate came in exactly as expected, at 3.1% and down marginally from 3.2% in October. Their core rate (without food or energy) was unchanged at 4%. This unchanged result has markets reassessing those 2024 rate-cut bets. Inflation in the world's largest economy is sticky at the end of its cycle and getting it back to 2% isn't going to be as straight forward as anticipated by financial markets. The Fed's caution is being justified.Food prices rose +2.9% and fuel prices fell -5.4% so they are not weighing on the overall level. But rent is, up +6.5%. And airfares are up more than +10% in the year.The Redbook index of bricks & mortar retail store sales on a same-store basis rose +3.4% last week, so the engine of American retail sales is still expanding on a volume basis.American small business owners are still feeling the pressure however, but more from a tight labour market than from demand. 40% of all owners reported job openings they could not fill in the current period, keeping them glum even if business is expanding faster.In Canada, they have a housing crisis - and perhaps a back-to-the-future solution. Home prices and rents have soared in part because housing starts have not kept pace with record immigration, and the official estimate is that 3.5 million more dwellings will be needed by 2030 to restore affordability. A 'new' policy has been announced, one with echoes of the housing-building boom after WWII. Standardised units will get blanket building consent approval with the idea that this will speed construction. This time however, the focus will be on density.In India, the monsoon has been weak this year and that is affecting food prices. Overall, consumer prices rose 5.6% in November, the first increase in four months, up from 4.9% in October. Food inflation however went up to 8.7%, the highest in three months, up from 6.6% in October so the pressure is on, on that front.India also reported October industrial production which was up +11.7% from a year ago, a much stronger rise than in the prior month and more than expected.In China, a couple of random points to note: it seems banks are reluctant to ease loan conditions for home buyers in distress. Only a handful of Beijing controlled banks have shown any sympathy.Also, the child walking pneumonia crisis apparently became a national issue due to very widespread antibiotic resistance, making a mild condition very much worse.In Germany, sentiment as measured by the widely-watched ZEW survey rose in December. It is now at a new high since March. Despite their current budget crisis, the assessment of the situation and economic expectations have improved again, as more respondents expect interest rate cuts by the ECB in the medium term, and inflation to stay down.In Australia there were two sentiment surveys out yesterday. The Westpac MI consumer survey found low but improving sentiment in December as the holiday season approaches. The icon NAB business survey recorded a sharp dip in sentiment in November to its lowest level since the pandemic in early 2020.The UST 10yr yield is softer on secondary markets at 4.21% and down -6 bps from yesterday at this time. The price of gold will start today just on US$1980/oz and down -US$2/oz from this time yesterday.Oil prices are down -US$2.50/bbl from yesterday at just over US$68.50/bbl in the US. The international Brent price is now down at just over US$73/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today at 61.3 USc and little-changed from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 93.4 AUc. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 56.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just under 70.4, +10 bps higher than yesterday at this time.The bitcoin price starts today at US$41,298 and down -1.1% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at +/- 2.3%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

In this episode of the New PossibilOTs podcast, Mahek and Larissa explore the world of assessments in paediatric occupational therapy, specifically focusing on standardised assessments and their best practices. They categorise the assessments into three main types: self-reported assessments, observational assessments, and skill-based assessments with standardised scores. Mahek and Larissa also discuss the evolving use of assessments in paediatric OT, moving from a traditional approach of setting goals based on standardised assessments to a more function-based model, highlighting the importance of using assessments to guide clinical reasoning and intervention. Tune in to this episode of the New PossibilOTs podcast to gain valuable insights into the world of assessments in paediatric occupational therapy. Mahek and Larissa's exploration of standardised assessments and their best practices, along with their discussion on the shift towards a function-based model, offers a comprehensive view of how assessments can inform and enhance paediatric OT practice.

Hofteleddsbøyeren er en svært vanlig skade hos mange med smerter på fremsiden av hoften. Denne muskelen består av to muskler som går fra ryggen og ned i låret. Kraften fra disse to bøyer låret oppover ved bevegelse. I denne episoden forteller vi litt om hvordan du skiller ulike skader i hoften fra hverandre og hva som er forskjellen på ett ledd- og et muskelproblem i dette området.   Kilder:  1.

Personalised or Standardised?   What is the base philosophy for Candidate Experience - do you attempt to give everyone the same branded experience, or do you vary it according to the individual and the individual circumstance? And if we do 'both' (I know you will say this!), then what are the circumstances when one approach makes sense and not the other?   We will discuss   - Types of Candidate - are all candidates the same? - Costs of CX, how do we measure the effort and the effect? - What are the benefits of improving CX? - Do we have any evidence of this, other than 'right thing to do'? - Why are recruiters reporting bad CX when they are looking for jobs - how much of a factor is how in-demand certain candidates are? - Do we need specialists in TA to run this? - How do we incentivise recruiters and managers to improve CX? - Do we know what candidates want?   We're with Heidi Wassini, InHouse Consultant (CopenHagen Airports), Christine Ng, Head of Talent & Media (Quantum Motion), Sian Sidaway, Global Talent Experience Manager (GoCardless) & Gem Parker, Candidate Engagement Lead (EY)     Ep191 is sponsored by our buddies Starred Starred is a Candidate Experience analytics platform that helps recruitment teams collect, analyze, benchmark, and act on candidate feedback at every stage of the recruitment process.

Title: Episode 40 Ready. Set. Go! How implementing standardised metadata will increase the value of our data, interview with Michael Marus, FSC and Patrick Mallet, ISEAL Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard

Through sequestration, soil plays a pivotal role in mitigating climate change. Improved agricultural practices that promote soil sequestration can help reverse climate change while improving the livelihoods of farmers. However, there is currently no commonly used business standard or approach for measuring carbon in soil. There are many emerging approaches, and more are on the way. So which current approaches can be used by companies today? In this webinar, we discussed current practices, the opportunities for standardised approaches, and the potential positive outcomes in the race to net zero. Webinar panel: Sophie Throup, head of agriculture, fisheries and sustainable sourcing, Morrisons Ian McConnel, director of sustainability – international business unit, Tyson Foods Prof Peer Ederer, program and science director, Global Food and Agribusiness Network David Fatscher, head of ESG, BSI The discussion was moderated by Toby Webb, founder, Innovation Forum This webinar was hosted in partnership with BSI
