Six weeks of my life are missing. I was in a drug-induced coma. And many folks thought I couldn’t hear them. While the doctors continually spoke of my pending death, my wife kept speaking life into me. Eventually I woke up. I was terrified of the doctors. But my trust in my wife was through the roof. We send messages continually. They’re not delivered in words. It’s our body language and tone of voice that sends the message. And only a true sociopath can hide the unspoken language of sales. People don’t want to be sold. So, they immediately raise their guard when they detect that unspoken sales language. And it’s immediately harder to close the deal. So, we quit trying to sell and focus on helping and serving using a tool called a First-Time Offer (FTO). It’s too difficult to describe the nuanced mechanisms in a few words. But the effects are clear. An effective FTO builds trust rapidly. It creates an environment where people want to buy. It moves the heavy lifting from the hands of the salesperson and places it into the power of the offer. One option is to double down on sales. But your prospects will hear that unspoken language of sales. And they will smell like my doctors who reeked of the stench of death. We believe you should speak life and hope into your prospects like my wife spoke into me. And an effective First-Time Offer is that spring of hope that gives comfort in the midst of weighty decisions. https://info.allies4me.com/lp/free-fto-signup/

Briefing reporters in New York on the Council's program of work for the month, Hoxha said, “We want to use the presence of the leaders in town, to have a meaningful discussion in the Council at the level of heads of delegation, not only to analyze the situation and the ongoing war and consequences in Ukraine but also the prospects where we go from now what can be done.” The name of the meeting will be “To Uphold the Goals and Principles of the UN Charter through Effective Multilateralism, with a Special Focus on the Maintenance of Peace and Security in Ukraine” and will take place on 20 September. The Albanian Ambassador said other areas of focus for the Council in September include, “what is happening in Haiti. It's a horrible situation and I hope the Council will be able to really move on this issue.” He said, “We will have one or more meetings on Sudan, we know that there is an ongoing war, a deadly war and with no real prospects for peace. We know that the situation in Darfur is absolutely going back and reminding what happened 20 years ago, going back to two elements of genocide, so that will be also our focus. We will be discussing Syria, and we know the complex situation related to the humanitarian assistance for northwest Syria. So, of course, the Council is never, never at stop.” On Syria, Hoxha continued, “The priority is really to provide basic needs for those for 4.2 million people who could not have them otherwise, then through that most important border crossing, which actually processes 80 to 85 percent of the needs, and crossline will never be able to compete, we'll never be able to meet the needs. That's why we need it open.”

The Little Children and Jesus 13Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on themand pray for them.

I am passionate about empathetic and relational sales. After spending over 25 years in leadership roles, I found that so much of sales is inauthentic and forced. I love entrepreneurs and so many of them think they cannot sell. I empower leaders to gain the confidence to sell, as an extension of who they are and not just to follow a cookie cutter approach. I believe that all of us can master sales and through my podcast guesting appearances. I share practical & tangible tips on how to master the sales process and what most get wrong about the practice. Excited to share and thanks for connecting with me. Darleen has over 25 years experience in Sales and Business Development. She is able to equip business coaches and entrepreneurs with the strategy and confidence to sell their services. She has a unique approach to business development.

Speaking in Jacksonville, Harris said the recently approved curriculum, which suggests some slaves reaped benefits from the skills they acquired during forced labor, was based on a policy intent on misleading children. "They want to replace history with lies," Harris said. "These extremist, so-called leaders should model what we know to be the correct and right approach if we really are invested in the well being of our children. Instead, they dare to push propaganda to our children. This is the United States of America. We're not supposed to do that.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/depictionsmedia/who-on-global-health-july-19-2023 Yesterday, WHO and UNICEF published new data which show promising signs that immunization services are rebounding in some countries after disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, 4 million more children received immunizations than in 2021. This is encouraging news, but large gaps remain, and global and regional averages mask severe and persistent inequities, especially in low-income countries. More than 20 million children missed out on one or more vaccines last year, and almost 15 million missed out entirely. While these numbers are lower than 2021, they’re still higher than pre-pandemic levels. We’re still falling behind with our targets to reach children with measles, HPV, yellow fever and many other vaccines, risking outbreaks and suffering as a result of diseases that can be easily prevented. Of the 75 countries with substantial declines in immunization, only 15 have recovered to pre-pandemic levels, with the rest stagnant or even declining further. Most concerningly, low-income countries are not yet showing signs of recovery. In response, WHO, UNICEF and other partners have launched the Big Catch-up, working with the most-affected countries to catch-up, recover, and strengthen immunization infrastructure. === This week, the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body to draft and negotiate the pandemic accord is holding its sixth meeting. Next week, the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations will hold its fourth meeting. As the negotiations of both processes are entering a critical stage, with less than a year to finalize their work, later this week the two groups will hold their first joint meeting. The meeting will be webcast. The groups will discuss topics including the definition and declaration of a public health emergency of international concern, and a pandemic. However, just as mis- and disinformation undermined the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, so mis- and disinformation is undermining these efforts to keep the world safer from future pandemics. 20 years ago, the tobacco industry tried to undermine negotiations on the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. The same thing is happening now. Groups with vested interests are claiming falsely that the accord is a power grab by WHO, and that it will stymie innovation and research. Both claims are completely false. I need to put this plainly: those who peddle lies about this historic agreement are endangering the health and safety of future generations. If two companies sign a business contract, and use lawyers to help them develop it, that doesn’t give the lawyers control over the contract, nor make them a party to it. It’s the same here. The pandemic accord is an agreement between countries, and WHO is helping them to develop that agreement. But WHO will not be a party to the agreement. As the countries themselves have pointed out repeatedly, this is an agreement between countries, and countries alone. This accord aims to address the lack of solidarity and equity that hampered the global response to COVID-19. It’s a historic opportunity for the world to learn the painful lessons COVID-19 taught us, and make the world safer for generations to come. === Earlier this week, I had the privilege of addressing the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors. I made the point that the global economy and global health are inextricably linked, as the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated. And of course, pandemics are far from the only threat to health and economies. Every day, diseases, conditions and injuries incur huge costs to governments, in terms of health sector spending and lost productivity. Many of these diseases, conditions and injuries could be prevented at a fraction of the cost of dealing with their consequences. Investments in health are therefore an economic no-brainer. If they were bonds, they would be rated triple-A. It’s time to rethink financing for health. It’s time to see health not as a cost, but an investment; Not as a consumptive sector, but a productive sector – as the anchor for more inclusive, more equitable and more prosperous societies and economies. Over the past three years, the G20 has played an important role in bringing together finance and health to respond to COVID-19, and to strengthen the global architecture for pandemic preparedness. I appreciate especially the G20’s leadership in establishing the Joint Finance-Health Task Force, which is supporting countries to identify and mitigate economic vulnerabilities, and finance pandemic response. WHO is proud to host the Task Force secretariat, with the support of our partners at the World Bank. On the other hand, it’s concerning that at this meeting, G20 countries were not able to reach agreement on debt relief for low-income countrie

Speaking to journalists outside the General Assembly, Ukraine’s Minister for Foreign Affairs said, “Yesterday, when I had a meeting with the Secretary-General, ahead of his phone conversation with President Zelenskyy, we literally discussed all possible options with him.” He continued, “And he instructed relevant departments of the Secretariat to consider possible viable options.” Kuleba concluded, “So less than 48 hours since Russia withdrew from The Grain Initiative, we are literally still looking into every possible option. We're doing it in Kyiv, our partners are doing it in Brussels, in Washington, here at the headquarters, in Ankara. Everyone is looking for the way out.” BLACK SEA INITIATIVE This morning, the Secretary-General said that he deeply regrets the decision by the Russian Federation to terminate the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative – including the withdrawal of Russian security guarantees for navigation in the northwest part of the Black Sea. He noted that this Initiative has ensured the safe passage of over 32 million metric tonnes of food commodities from Ukrainian ports. The Initiative, he said, together with the Memorandum of Understanding on facilitating exports of Russian food products and fertilizers, has been a lifeline for global food security and a beacon of hope in a troubled world. He said that participation in these agreements is a choice, but struggling people everywhere, especially in developing countries don’t have a choice. He warned that hundreds of millions of people face hunger and consumers are confronting a global cost-of-living crisis, including food prices. He said he was deeply disappointed that his proposals went unheeded, adding that today’s decision by the Russian Federation will strike a blow to people in need everywhere. But he will not stop and United Nations will not stop our efforts to facilitate unimpeded access to global markets for food products and fertilizers from Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
