    Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy climate change organization focused on national policies to address climate change.

    Our consistently respectful, nonpartisan approach to climate education is designed to create a broad, sustainable foundation for climate action across all geographic regions and political inclinations. By building upon shared values rather than partisan divides, and empowering our supporters to work in keeping with the concerns of their local communities, we work towards the adoption of fair, effective, and sustainable climate change solutions.

    In order to generate the political will necessary for passage of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act we train and support volunteers to build relationships with elected officials, the media and their local community.

    ★Team Rubicon is an American non-government organization (NGO) founded by U.S. Marines William McNulty and Jacob Wood. Team Rubicon's mission is to unite the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams.

    ★Team Rubicon formed in January 2010 following the Haiti earthquake, when McNulty and Wood led a medical team into Port-au-Prince three days after the quake. They gathered funds and medical supplies from friends and family and flew into the Dominican Republic. They rented a truck, loaded their gear, and headed west to Haiti. The team treated thousands of patients, traveling to camps deemed “too dangerous” by other aid organizations. They ventured outside the traditional scale of disaster response, focusing on those who would be overlooked, untreated.

    ★Since the Haiti earthquake, Team Rubicon has deployed on over 175 operations including international operations in Pakistan, Chile, Burma, Sudan, Ecuador, Nepal, Greece, and Turkey. Domestically, Team Rubicon has responded to disasters such as Hurricane Matthew, Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Debby, Hurricane Isaac, Hurricane Sandy, and the tornado destruction of Moore, Oklahoma. In June 2015 Team Rubicon completed its 100th disaster mission, Operation Five Points in Aston, PA.The team's role in domestic disasters is both to provide humanitarian assistance and as an outlet to let veterans continue to serve.

    ★General (Ret.) David Petraeus joined Team Rubicon's Board of Advisors in 2013. Civil rights expert Ehsan Zaffar joined the Board of Advisors three years later in 2016

    POW quickly brought on other concerned pro athletes, individuals, resorts, brand partners and passionate outdoor enthusiasts. Since then, POW has grown from a kernel of an idea into a worldwide network of more than 130,000 supporters.

    POW quickly brought on other concerned pro athletes, individuals, resorts, brand partners and passionate outdoor enthusiasts. Since then, POW has grown from a kernel of an idea into a worldwide network of more than 130,000 supporters.

    This was the perfect group to give a national voice to the outdoor sports community, an industry that supports 7.6 million jobs and creates $887 billion in economic revenue. While the fossil fuel lobby may outspend environmentalists 20-1 in D.C., we share a passion that crosses party lines––a unique perspective that de-politicizes climate discussion––and an industry with an economic impact that can’t be ignored.

    Our key formula for engaging upwards of 57 million outdoor sports enthusiasts globally? Relevance and authenticity. Though we dress up for meetings, in the end we are pro athletes, dirtbags and diehards; for us, the outdoors aren’t just a passion, but a way of life. That dirt on our shoes is authentic.

    Right now, we have the luxury of worrying about how climate change might impact the outdoor industry. Right now, we get to help dictate the outcome rather than react to a foregone conclusion. But if we sit on our hands for the next two decades, we won’t be worried about powder days, tourism or having fun. We’ll be worried about the stability of our environment, our jobs and our economy.

    The Mission Continues is a national, nonpartisan nonprofit that empowers veterans to continue their service, and empowers communities with veteran talent, skills, and preparedness to generate visible impact.

    Veterans possess the drive and desire to serve others, but without access to the tools needed, their potential to make a meaningful impact at the local level remains untapped. On the other end of the spectrum, growing numbers of communities in this country are under-resourced and being left behind.

    At The Mission Continues, we’re on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities.

    Our programs in cities across the country deploy veteran volunteers alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, increase access to parks and green spaces, foster neighborhood identity, and more.

    Our vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a movement to transform communities.

    Tales from the road from roving startup advisor Stephen G. Barr published on on Medium platform. My blog on the Medium platform. Medium, the new self-publishing platform from two of Twitter's co-founders, Evan Williams and Biz Stone, promises to eliminate the need for bloggers to also be marketers. "We want to help the best ideas and stories have the biggest possible impact," Williams said in an email. "For the vast majority of people, Medium will have a higher return-on-investment for writing than publishing one's own blog." The core idea is that regular people want to consume content published by other regular people. Medium automagically curates a stream of the posts that are most relevant to you — which means the authors of those posts are also reaching their ideal audience.

    Are interested in facilitating individual growth

    Believe training should improve teaming success

    See knowledge as enhancing personal insights

    Encourage authenticity in people. Use discussions, group work, and feedback about feelings.

    Are supportive of others and seek to engage people in cooperative efforts

    Are aware of social forces that affect human development

    Focus on significant issues in your training

    The purpose of the Quadrant One Construct is to establish relationships between the learner, his or her past and present experiences, and the conceptual connections made from those experiences.

    Goals include encouraging learners to focus on perceptions, generate ideas to clarify meanings, observe others, and articulate their ways of seeing the world.

    Learners should also imagine and infer from dialogue, listen carefully with an open mind and heart, attend to and interact with peers, and honor each other's subjectivity.

    Activities include personal reflections, stories about autobiographic episodes, thinking relationally, hunching connections, journals, stream of consciousness writing, mindmaps, brainstorming together or alone, collaborative learning activities with partners or in teams, simulations, and studying together with different tasks for each member.

    Exit slips that note feelings, new ideas, things to try as a result of the training, and new questions can be jotted down quickly at the end of each training session and are powerful for both the trainer and the learner in terms of monitoring progress.

    Assessments might include observing how interested the learners are, how engaged, how excited, learner ability to be honest, to own their own thoughts and ideas, and attention and willingness to listen to the ideas of others.

    Congratulations. You are digitally distinct!

    This is the nirvana of online identity. A search of your name yields lots of results about you, and most, if not all, reinforce your unique personal brand. Keep up the good work, and remember that your Google results can change as fast as the weather in New England. So, regularly monitor your online identity. That way, if something negative, such as an anonymous ad hominem attack on your character on a blog, crops up, you can address it quickly, before it gets out of hand. Read Chapter 11 of Career Distinction: Stand Out by Building Your Brand for more ideas on how to continue to build your brand online.

    In addition to Volume and Relevance there are three additional measures: Purity, Diversity and Validation. Purity speaks to how many of the results are about you (not about someone else who has the same name). Diversity speaks to the multi-media aspect of the results (how much content displayed was in images or video, etc). Validation is about having others speak for you.

    Purity

    Your Purity Score is: Stellar
    This means you either have a unique name or you have done an outstanding job building relevant, high ranking content on the World Wide Web (or both). Bravo! Keep up the great work!

    Diversity

    Your Diversity Score is: Stellar
    Bravo! Your results include video, images and real-time content - perfection! Keep up the great work by continuing to post relevant images and videos at sites like Flickr (flickr.com) and YouTube (youtube.com) and continue to use Twitter (twitter.com) to connect with your brand community.

    Validation

    Your Validation Score is: High

    Bravo! You understand that building your brand involves both visibility and credibility. Your online profile contains feedback from others. That supports credibility and enables those who are researching you online to learn about you from the experience of others. Keep up the good work!

    Custom Keirsey Temperament Report for: Stephen G. Barr

    Your Keirsey Temperament Sorter Results indicates that your personality type is that of the

    Idealists (NF), as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible self -- always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling, in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potentials. Idealists are sure that friendly cooperation is the best way for people to achieve their goals. Conflict and confrontation upset them because they seem to put up angry barriers between people. Idealists dream of creating harmonious, even caring personal relations, and they have a unique talent for helping people get along with each other and work together for the good of all. Such interpersonal harmony might be a romantic ideal, but then Idealists are incurable romantics who prefer to focus on what might be, rather than what is. The real, practical world is only a starting place for Idealists; they believe that life is filled with possibilities waiting to be realized, rich with meanings calling out to be understood. This idea of a mystical or spiritual dimension to life, the "not visible" or the "not yet" that can only be known through intuition or by a leap of faith, is far more important to Idealists than the world of material things. Highly ethical in their actions, Idealists hold themselves to a strict standard of personal integrity. They must be true to themselves and to others, and they can be quite hard on themselves when they are dishonest, or when they are false or insincere.

    About IB* entrepreneurs:

    Builder is the part of your entrepreneurial DNA that can create scalable systems around the business so it can grow faster and larger than your typical competitor. This strength offsets a key weakness in your primary DNA. The weakness of Builder DNA comes in the form of a “Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde” management style.

    Common Traits for those who share your DNA
    Bounce back and forth between chief executive and chief innovator.
    Have "Steve Jobs" like product innovation.
    Build companies with fanatically loyal fans.
    Red Lights
    If you've allowed this in your business, you're asking for trouble

    You are spending most of your time in the role of CEO rather hiring someone to deal with operational management.
    You've built your go-to-market strategy in house without objective 3rd party insight.

    Innovator Recommendations
    Your greatest asset is your ability to be creative and design things others cannot. Don't waste most of your day trying to manage people, sit in long staff meetings or deal with operational oversight. If you are doing those things, you are limiting your core strength - and doing a dis-service to your company.

    ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. ENFPs are charming, ingenious, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individuals with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. They have many gifts which they will use to fulfill themselves and those near them, if they are able to remain centered and master the ability of following through.
    Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships.

    Lewis Terman, developer of the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales, based his English-language Stanford–Binet IQ test on the French-language Binet–Simon test developed by Alfred Binet. Terman believed his test measured the "general intelligence" construct advocated by Charles Spearman (1904).[48][49] Terman differed from Binet in reporting scores on his test in the form of intelligence quotient ("mental age" divided by chronological age) scores after the 1912 suggestion of German psychologist William Stern. Terman chose the category names for score levels on the Stanford–Binet test. When he first chose classification for score levels, he relied partly on the usage of earlier authors who wrote, before the existence of IQ tests, on topics such as individuals unable to care for themselves in independent adult life. Terman's first version of the Stanford–Binet was based on norming samples that included only white, American-born subjects, mostly from California, Nevada, and Oregon.

Through inventive programs, original research, strategic alliances and the power of people’s own life stories, Encore.org demonstrates the value of experience in solving critical social problems, from education to the environment, health care to homelessness. Encore.org initiatives include The Purpose Prize, for social innovators in their encore careers; The Encore Fellowships Network, for experienced private-sector employees transitioning to encore careers; the Encore College Initiative, for higher education institutions preparing people for encore careers; and the Encore Network, a growing group of local organizations building the movement one community at a time. Encore.org (formerly known as Civic Ventures) was founded in 1997 by social entrepreneur Marc Freedman, author of "The Big Shift: Navigating the New Stage Beyond Midlife," and "Encore: Finding Work That Matters in the Second Half of Life."
