Радини вълнения by Thrift SheepEp. 28 - Да обичаш Антарктика - с Деница АпостоловаДеница работи в Геолого-географския факултет на СУ, а това, което страшно я вълнува, е научната работа на Ледения континент. В епизода ви отвеждаме на далечно пътешествие на другия край на света - българската база на о-в Ливингстън в Антарктика. Деница е част от APECS Bulgaria - Асоциацията на младите полярни изследователи, чиято мисия е да разказват и образоват за света на изследователите, пингвините и т.н. Разказваме ви за разликите между Антарктида, Антарктика и Арктика, за това как се стига до българската база, как се пренася техниката, и как въобще минава един работен ден на Южния полюс (почти там, де). Деница ни споделя за животинските видове, които се срещат около базата "Св. Климент Охридски" и за климатичните промени, които можеш да наблюдаваш с очите си там.

The IcePodThe Live Episode – Paid to Look at the Clouds and Play with BalloonsThe IcePod goes live and Antarctic! For our first live episode that we broadcasted during the APECS workshop "Antarctic Science: Global connections", we met with the Australian weather observer and Ph.D. candidate Vicki Heinrich. Well, actually, it wasn't only Vicki but we had another special guest: Vickie's pet cat sneaking around. For more than ten years, Vicki has been a regular in the Antarctic to look at the clouds and play with balloons, all courtesy of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM). To be trained on the ten types of clouds, she found this opportunity once i...2020-10-071h 07

The Operational Excellence ShowHow Executive Coaching Helped Me to Drive and Grow in my Contact Center RolesI am so excited for today’s episode with business executive and team leadership coach, Gregor Findlay the owner of Courageous Development! Gregor was the very first business coach I ever had. I was just promoted to Site Director in Accrington, near Manchester, to set up and open a brand new contact center. I was clearly talented, but out of my depth. My team was non existent, everyone I hired I felt I had to “control” because I could do it better myself. In no time I was overworked, stressed and frustrated. Thankfully my employer offere...2020-04-1037 min
