This story is a powerful reminder of how mentoring can positively impact someone's life and career journey. By sharing our experiences and wisdom with others, we create opportunities that were once out of reach. Mentoring is a gift that benefits both the mentor, who finds fulfillment in guiding another, and the mentee, who gains invaluable insights to navigate their path successfully. Teri Cannon's story beautifully illustrates how a caring mentor can change a person's trajectory in ways that we may never fully realize. Let this inspire all of us to pay it forward by nurturing the next generation of leaders and changemakers. You never know the ripple effect your investment in someone could create. #people #mentoring #leadership

I'm excited to share that I have conducted an awareness session on Claims Management for my colleagues. Conducting an awareness session for claims management can bring a host of benefits, including: 1. Improved understanding: By educating to project practitioners about claims management processes and best practices, they can gain a better understanding of how claims are handled and resolved within the organization. 2. Increased efficiency: With better knowledge of claims management procedures, project practitioners can be more efficient in handling claims, leading to quicker resolutions and reduced processing times. 3. Reduced errors: Proper training on claims management can help project practitioners avoid common mistakes and errors, leading to improved accuracy in processing claims. 4. Cost savings: Efficient claims management can result in cost savings for the organization by reducing processing times, minimizing errors, and avoiding unnecessary claim payments. Overall, conducting an awareness session for claims management can contribute to a more knowledgeable and effective workforce, leading to improved operations and better outcomes for both the organization and its customers.

I'm excited to share the focus of my dissertation! Over the past several years, policies, advocacy, and social justice efforts have been dedicated to alleviating the collateral consequences of the carceral system and uplifting those involved in the criminal legal system. A critical area of concern is housing outcomes, which are often precarious for system-impacted adults due to their criminal histories. My study investigates the effectiveness of Fair Chance Housing ordinances in promoting housing stability among individuals with criminal records, specifically centering on Black Americans who have disproportionately faced the carceral state's impacts. Using the theories of material deprivation and cumulative disadvantage, I aim to uncover how these policies might reduce racial inequality in housing. Are you or anyone you know involved in the policymaking or advocacy process for Fair Chance Housing policies? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Sports dogs often face similar injury patterns due to repetitive activities and muscle use, with common injury sites including the shoulder, spine, iliopsoas muscle, and feet. Quick, accurate diagnosis is crucial to minimize long-term damage and avoid unnecessary treatment. While evidence is limited, strategies from human athletes can inform dog therapy. Effective training and rehabilitation rely on teamwork between owners, trainers, and clinicians.

In October 2017 at Naturewatch Foundation we began discussions in Kyiv to train Ukrainian police officers around the animal - human abuse link. The training across 13 cities started in March 2018. 12 months later, the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine published Order 369/180 that established a domestic abuse risk assessment process, not dissimilar to the DASH form, that asked the question around animal abuse, thereby effectively establishing an acknowledgment of the ‘link’. This recent study from Kharkiv based Maryana Kachynska explains the journey and what has had to change around violence towards women and girls since the Russian invasion. “It should be understood that since a significant amount of domestic violence is hidden, detecting more cases of animal abuse will provide a connection or starting point to allow the detection of more domestic violence cases.” Now the ‘Protect Animals. Protect People.’ campaign is in England and Wales trying to help establishing #BreakingTheLink as another tool in the toolkit for domestic abuse.

"This personal experience is a great example of the all-important value of farriers and equine veterinarians always keeping their word. Demonstrated so well here with a promise by Pete Cote, a man of his word and the “Nation’s Farrier” that was promised 25 years ago."

In what kind of humane world do schools, universities, corporate workplaces, and governments discourage people from speaking up against the inhuman, greed-driven genocide? Every reason given by the occupying regime, from hidden tunnels to Arabic calendars hosting extremist plans, has been proven false. Bombing mosques, schools, churches, hospitals, and the claims of hidden tunnels have all been exposed as lies, merely excuses to bomb the innocent. In what world do we punish those who stand against a brutal apartheid regime, one that steals homes and lands from people and enforces oppression? We are told to fear speaking out, with the threat of job losses looming over us. So I ask, will be it be acceptable to turn a blind eye when Russia commits genocide in Ukraine? Which to date even the not so nice guy Putin hasn't been that evil to commit such crimes, mass graves of buried people alive, hands tide and tortured including children! This is not a moment for sanctimonious self-righteousness. It is a time to be ethical, unbiased, and to stand firmly against the genocide in Gaza. We must stand against injustice and speak out against all forms of oppression, regardless of the consequences.What if it was you or I facing a dire situation, and no one spoke up for us because a recruiter or employer scanning LinkedIn deemed it unfit? If you have pets, you understand the love and compassion we feel for animals. So why should saving an animal in Gaza be any less important than advocating for animals back home? If you adore children, you recognize the innocence and vulnerability they possess. Then why are children in Gaza, Sudan, or Syria and alike considered any less deserving of our protection and advocacy? If you respect and love your parents and grandparents endlessly, you cherish the wisdom and experiences they impart. Then why should these individuals in Gaza and other places have to endure hardships akin to Nakbas throughout their entire lives? Let us use our voices and platforms to speak out against injustice and stand up for those who need it most, regardless of where they are in the world.
