They’ve jettisoned old paradigms of success that center on endless overtime and constant employee sacrifice. They’ve tied success to purpose and workforce morale and helped people balance personal and professional needs as their priorities change. They’ve made shifts that are both necessary and positive. But now\, those striving to be empathetic leaders and colleagues are experiencing the dark side: Taking on extra work\, avoiding conflict\, spending too much time on personal issues\, or simply burning out from trying to balance concern for colleagues with the needs of the business. How can we remain human-focused and still maintain high performance\, set personal boundaries\, and avoid burning out\, without being treated like villains? \nIn this timely talk by empathy advocate\, TEDx speaker\, podcaster\, and strategist\, Maria Ross\, author of The Empathy Edge and now The Empathy Dilemma\, you’ll discover how empathy benefits your organization’s performance and why your perception of empathy might be false and leading you astray. You’ll also learn about 5 valuable pillars you can shore up to be both an effective AND empathetic leader and find more success. \nTakeaways: \n· DEFINE what empathy at work actually is – and more importantly\, what it is NOT \n· DISCOVER 3 bottom-line organizational benefits of empathetic leadership and culture – through presenting relevant data and research and discussing case studies that disrupt traditional thinking. Empathy is not just good for the world\, but it can be a competitive advantage. We’ll walk through the financial & organizational benefits of leading with empathy. \n· RECOGNIZE why empathy at work is so challenging in a post-pandemic world\, especially for leaders \n· DISCOVER and PRACTICE the Five Pillars of Effective Empathy to avoid burnout and better balance people\, performance\, and personal boundaries.

This doctrine now promotes and encourages the use of dredged materials to restore marshes and wetlands\, support coastal resiliency efforts\, or create new habitats. Dredged materials are seen as a resource\, not a waste. \nThe USACE has led the effort to reuse dredge materials through research and development at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). ERDC and its initiative\, Engineering With Nature (EWN)\, have developed a number of tools to assist the engineering and regulatory community in the development of beneficial use projects. \nEBC’s 17th Annual Dredging Conference focuses on USACE’s initiative to beneficially use dredge material\, with speakers addressing wetland engineering\, nature-based solutions\, and modeling best practices. The conference will provide attendees with the tools and knowledge to better plan\, develop\, and execute projects that use dredged material. \nA robust panel discussion with the audience will conclude the webinar. \nGeneral Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (2.5 training contact hours).

What is the difference between polymer PFAS and non-polymer PFAS? How do perfluoroalkyl substances differ from polyfluoroalkyl substances? What does it mean when we say short chain PFAS and long chain PFAS or linear PFAS and branched PFAS? What are some of the chemical and physical properties that are unique to PFAS? How are PFAS manufactured and why does that matter? Can PFAS undergo transformation in the environment? Which PFAS have been used as replacement for compounds like PFOA?
