How We Can Advocate on Behalf of All of Society’s Members on International Day of Persons with Disabilities I am 19 and sitting in my neurologist’s office when he informs me that I have an incurable, chronic illness called multiple sclerosis. I know what MS is; my sister-in-law has it, and decades into the future, she dies from it. My heart clenches. This is not what any young person wants to hear.

Clubhouse: What’s the Appeal of Social Audio Apps?

2021-04-30T18:38:41-07:00

After a year of Zoom, people are flocking to audio-only conversations. SUMMARY Clubhouse is a throwback audio-only app for drop-in discussions, serendipitous meetings, and eavesdropping without shame. Invitation- and IOS-only, exclusivity, celebrity, and FOMO fuel its appeal; voice transmits emotion without the distraction of video, creating a sense of intimacy. Popular with marketers and self-promoters, there is an emphasis on audience building, getting followers, and monetization. Topics range from useful and insightful to inspirational; however, there have been reports of abuse, misogyny, anti-Semitism, and racism, in spite of community standards. In the wake of [...]

EBC Blog: Elevate Your Coaching Practice with Intercultural Competence Guest Bloggers:  Magda Kaspary, ACC, IDI Qualified Administrator (QA) and Akasha (aka Pete Saunders), PhD, PCC Magda Kaspary, ACC The coaching profession is growing. This is largely due to the efforts of coaches and coaching organizations across the globe that are focused on building awareness about the benefits of coaching.
