College students who sign up for the recently launched program will get up to one year of college credit, which can go toward their bachelor’s or associate’s degree. It will also enable them to start practicing their vocation and earn a teacher’s salary.

The National School Chaplain Association’s (NSCA) recently launched program coincides with an article published in Christianity Today that discusses the need to bring prayer back into the school system. According to the report, the lack of spiritual care and moral guidance has resulted in more psychological and emotional problems in children and teenagers. Further, the report explains that the lack of support leads to poor performance in school, difficulty coping with stress, destructive habits, and even suicide.

Chaplains give these children and teenagers a safe space and are trusted confidantes with whom they can share their problems. Most schools do not hire therapists or counselors for their students, leaving them to take care of themselves emotionally. The goal is to help students navigate their emotions and to guide their decisions through prayer and scripture. Learn more at https://nationalschoolchaplainassociation.org/schools

The NSCA has three levels of chaplaincy training. The first level is for those who already have a chaplaincy certificate from another country or organization and only need placement assistance. There will be very little training involved, and they will only be briefed on the style of chaplaincy the association believes in.

Level Two is a 48-hour course in collaboration with Oklahoma State University. The program runs for eight weeks, with an average of six hours of classes per week. College students who take this course will get one college credit or three CEU credits upon completion of the program. This course is open to those with a teaching background or those who have worked with youth programs in the past.

Students who have not served in youth programs or don’t have a teaching background are encouraged to take Level 3. This is a one-year course that counts toward their degree. Upon completion of the course, they get their chaplaincy accreditation and will be ready for placement. This allows them to earn a teacher’s salary and get work experience while studying at the same time.

Bigly’s platform allows users to send multimedia and text-based messages en masse to its customer base. The company provides small businesses with a new model of CRM which eschews the standard usage fees charged by platforms such as HubSpot and Salesforce. The app requires no contract and subscribers only pay for communication costs.

More details can be found at https://biglysales.com

Bigly’s bulk messaging features allow companies to reach their followers and mailing lists in a matter of seconds with a variety of HD-quality videos, GIFs, and pictures. The software can be used on PCs, laptops, and tablets, and is compatible with both iOS and Android operating systems.

According to data from the Pew Research Center, texting is a highly effective way of reaching both new and established customers. Studies suggest that click-through rates can be as much as 36% for SMS marketing campaigns. This is aided by the ubiquity of smartphones in the modern world. The average American spends anywhere between three and six hours using their mobile device with at least 15% of the population accessing the internet primarily through their phone.

The Bigly app gathers all SMS, email, and voice calls into one unified inbox rather than managing a disparate array of apps for different media. This is augmented by powerful data tracking and analytics features that allow users to see their traffic, sales, and delivery statistics at a glance.

Task management features enable team leaders and business owners to assign jobs and roles to staff members while an advanced calendar tab with a reminder function keeps managers on track with their to-do lists and improves organizational efficiency.

The SMS ‘Blast’ feature allows mass texting to multiple contacts simultaneously while circumventing issues with inconsistent cell coverage. There is no charge for the CRM system while text, voice call, and email charges start from just $0.01.

A spokesperson says, “Bigly can be set up by anyone in seconds. It was designed for salespeople and business owners not for engineers. With no data entry, everything automatically loads, saving you time.”

The newly updated training introduces realtors to today’s most effective and time-efficient engagement strategies that target and convert prospect clients in high-end markets. Alexa Rosario draws on her experience as a Top 20 agent to teach fellow realtors how to implement systems that source leads from multiple online and in-person marketing activities and convert qualified prospects into exclusive clients.

More information is available at https://alexarosario.com/systems1

The luxury real estate market requires a specialized touch that many realtors might aspire to achieve but only a few can pinpoint. Newly updated training provided by real estate marketing professional Alexa Rosario teaches agents targeting the high-end niche how to put a systemized process in place to leverage technology and sign target clients.

Rosario says the trouble with traditional top-of-funnel IDX leads is that they require endless nurturing. The training she provides puts the 80/20 rule into action by showing agents how to onboard warm leads with efficient solutions-based strategies that deliver the partnerships they’re after.

By enhancing a lead conversion system that not only attracts in-market buyers and sellers, but instantly answers questions and establishes credibility, realtors can move beyond repetitive exploratory conversations to close in-person meetings with serious prospects instead of fairweather looky-loos. In this way, the system drives immediate action and streamlines purposeful onboarding.

Rosario teaches realtors how to drive traffic from their advertising efforts, social media presence, workshop seminars and chatbox exchanges to a branded and custom-configured website built from a template designed for the real estate industry.

Training includes landing and consult page design strategies that show realtors how to establish trust and encourage in-market traffic to book an appointment. Customized intake forms allow buyers and sellers to identify and communicate goals and priorities. Clients are then directed to a customized presentation that demonstrates the agent’s unique value proposition. Rosario says that if agents are familiar with Canva, they’ll have no trouble creating a branded and compelling web-based client acquisition system that delivers results.

With the introduction of a modernized time-saving onboarding system, Alexa Rosario provides fellow real estate agents with the digital marketing strategies they’ll need to attract the high-value luxury market clients they’re targeting and entrench valuable client relationships.

Health and wellness company, Hilke Enterprises LLC, announces a new health and wellness initiative at the VeryHealthyBody.com domain.

https://VeryHealthyBody.com

The VeryHealthyBody.com website was launched recently to provide education and resources on health topics impacting millions of Americans. Key focus of the initiative will be to share helpful information provided by health scientists, medical doctors and other health professionals on topics relevant to individuals seeking to improve their diet and fitness.

With the recent launch, topics addressed so far include intermittent fasting, improving insulin resistance, managing cholesterol with diet, safe weight loss, diabetic diet strategies, nutritional strategies to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes, drinking water quality issues, drinking water purification technologies, liver health, and ketogenic diet. Additional topics and content will be added ongoing.

Hilke Enterprises company founder Bob Hilke shares that he “studied Nutritional Sciences because of a firm conviction that what a person eats can have a significant impact on longevity and wellness”. He continues, “there is a tremendous and evolving knowledge base of helpful scientific and practical information in health sciences that people ought to know about, and this project is a means to put the right information in the hands of individuals searching for solutions to improve their health trajectory.”

There is always a need to better understand health issues, and to identify solutions that can improve outcomes. And there is a lot of effort under way in the scientific fields to study and report on issues that are important to many people. Getting the science to the people where it can help in a timely manner is the challenge. Hilke Enterprises will be striving to help bridge that gap.

With many of today’s scientists, professors, doctors and other health professionals having greater exposure to the general public via social media, much of today’s innovative information in the health and wellness space is readily available, if one knows where to look. With VeryHealthyBody.com, Hilke Enterprises will leverage social media resources to provide an insightful compilation of perspectives on important health topics.

Hilke Enterprises LLC is headquartered in Highland, Utah. The company’s focus includes providing information and products for nutrition, wellness, and drinking water purification.

The firm’s latest services include an owners’/tenants’ portal for real-time communication, along with a range of electronic and automated rent payment mechanisms. The existing preferred vendor network has also been expanded, allowing for a 24/7 rapid response to urgent repair needs.

More details can be found at: https://www.tcsmgt.com

The recent updates were driven by a buoyant rental property market in Delaware, which has attracted both local and interstate property investors. TCS Property Management’s approach is to combine traditional customer service principles with modern technology, which it believes are bringing new levels of efficiency to the sector.

According to the US Census Bureau, Delaware ranks among the top 10 states for growth, with recent estimates suggesting that its population has now surpassed the 1 million resident mark. Factors making the state an attractive prospect include low tax rates, reasonable housing prices, and its proximity to east coast financial hubs.

The expanded services from TCS Property Management come in response to an increasingly popular residential property market, with technologies designed to support both local and interstate landlords. The firm’s landlord/tenant portal allows property owners to monitor their properties in real time and from any location. Tenants can also use the application to communicate with the company, as well as reporting any issues.

The new training program is available for college students with no experience teaching or working for youth programs. After completing the course, students get their chaplaincy accreditation and can start working as a chaplain, even if they are still in college.

For more information, visit https://nationalschoolchaplainassociation.org

The National School Chaplain Association’s (NSCA) recently launched training program helps college students interested in becoming chaplains or youth leaders get a head start in their careers. It allows them to get work experience, earn a teacher’s salary, and develop crucial, real-life skills that they can only get with hands-on training. They also cultivate relationships and networks with students, schools, and organizations that will forward their careers in the future.

According to the NSCA, the year-long course counts toward the student’s bachelor’s or associate’s degree, so there is no need to take a gap year and fall behind on their studies if they take this course. Conducted in association with Oklahoma Christian University, it centers around the duties and responsibilities of a school chaplain and the style and beliefs that the NSCA practices.

The chaplaincy program has a deep, religious foundation, as the NSCA’s primary goal is to bring prayer back into schools and teach the youth about God and the Bible. Chaplains, however, serve all the students in the school, regardless of religion, and do not force Christian ideologies upon any child or teenager who comes to them for guidance.

After completing the program, the trainee will get their accreditation and soon be ready for placement. However, they first need to be listed in the National School Chaplain Association Register and pass background checks, including police, FBI, Interpol, and social media, to ensure that they fit the standard of the association before they get their badge and are placed with a local school. They can start working and earning as a chaplain even if they are still in the process of completing their degree, but they must be able to adjust their schedules accordingly to accommodate both.

“NSCA-trained Chaplains receive a certificate, badge, and ID card. Your chaplain membership in NSCA enrolls you into a national fellowship of like-minded ministers and servants, which includes exclusive education opportunities, programs, and seminars to continue learning and growing in your ability to impact your community,” a representative of the association said.

Now part of Project 10K, Adrienne Lloyd’s OptimizeFlow is a healthcare staff optimization software that helps hospitals or clinics visualize their team’s workload and performance to avoid staff burnout and poor patient management.

For more information, visit https://project10k.com/co-founders

The announcement coincides with an article published by Deloitte about the growing number of healthcare apps available for patients and service providers. According to the report, healthcare is becoming more and more digital, owing to the development of artificial intelligence, which makes transactions safer, more secure, and in some cases, completely anonymous.

OptimizeFlow is paving the way for better, more efficient workforce management for healthcare service providers. A study done by the Office of the Surgeon General found that healthcare workers are often overworked and burnt out from the number of patients they have to take care of on a daily basis. However, many hospitals and healthcare facilities are hesitant to hire more workers because of the seasonality of the heavy workload.

For example, during the flu season or long weekends, emergency cases and patients increase significantly. This demand, however, dies down after a few days or weeks, so the demand for healthcare professionals goes back to normal.

With OptimizeFlow, service providers are able to maximize their workers’ productivity levels. The software uses a three-pronged approach – measuring individual and team performance, providing accurate and actionable data that increases ROI, and projecting future staffing needs across different departments and locations.

The company believes that measuring individual and team performance is important because it increases accountability and transparency within the organization. With a more stable attendance and performance record, healthcare providers are able to project future staffing needs and ensure smooth patient workflows.

OptimizeFlow’s accurate and actionable time-based sets of information are gathered from all locations and departments. This information can help with financial planning and deciding when and how many more employees need to be hired for certain departments or the entire hospital or healthcare center.

Project 10K sees the potential of OptimizeFlow’s growth and widespread use because understaffing in healthcare is an issue in many countries, including the US. Artificial intelligence can help improve the quality of service without it taking a toll on the mental and physical health of their workers.

Excel Roofing is celebrating their 30th Anniversary, which commemorates 30 successful and rewarding years in business. This is a huge milestone for the Denver-based Roofing Contractor business, which has provided Roofing Contractor to Home Owners in Denver, Colorado Springs and Wyoming since 1993.

Excel Roofing got its start in 1993 when founder J Bretz set out to build a company that was committed to provide nothing but the best roofing services possible. One of the earliest challenges Excel Roofing faced was expanding the business to be able to provide service up and down the Colorado and Wyoming front range.

While every business, of course, faces challenges, some, like Excel Roofing, are fortunate enough to enjoy real successes, wins and victories too. Once such victory came when they expanded their services outside of Denver. Based in Englewood, CO, Excel was able to provide roofing services to every major suburb of Denver to include Englewood, Littleton, Aurora, Lone Tree, Centennial, and more.

J Bretz, Owner at Excel Roofing, shared “One of the founding principles of Excel Roofing that has contributed to our success over the last 30 years is our payment policy of “You don’t pay a cent until you’re content”. Because there are so many rip offs in the roofing industry this has built a level of trust for Excel Roofing that few companies have attained.” He was also quoted when discussing another important win. “Another high point of Excel Roofing’s history so far was maintaining an A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau. With expansion comes the challenge to maintain high quality service. We’ve been able to do that by creating the right work and training environment for every employee in the company.”

J Bretz went on to also say, “We’re delighted to be celebrating our 30-Year Anniversary. I believe the secret to getting this far in business today is honesty, integrity, and unwavering commitment to excellence. At Excel Roofing, every person up and down the company is key to internalizing and completing the mission. Every person on the team contributes and every one on the team wins.”

Excel Roofing currently consists of 50+ employees and continues to grow. One of their core objectives is to be the number one choice for residential roofing in Denver, Colorado Springs, and Wyoming.

Excel Roofing would also like to thank friends, customers and all its partners for their well wishes on this happy occasion.
