Public schools with no air conditioning or whose cooling systems are inoperable due to power outages blamed on a hurricane-battered electric grid are seeking relief, but it’s unlikely they’ll find it soon. Pedro Pierluisi quietly vetoed a bill that called for air conditioning systems for public schools. But air conditioning remains rare at public schools, which depend on fans and trade winds that blow through windows with metal shutters. It's unknown how many public schools lack air conditioning or have air conditioners that don't work because of electrical problems. More than 50% of public schools also have reported a heat-related emergency.

Khosrowshahi explained: "There are all kinds of courses on executive leadership, and I still haven't seen a course on listening. "Listening is such an underappreciated skill," the 54-year-old executive said Wednesday during an event for industry leaders hosted by GE in New York City. If you ask Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, the C-Suite skill that matters most isn't decisiveness or the ability to command a room — it's being a good listener. This isn't the first time Khosrowshahi has underscored listening as a critical leadership skill. "Few people know how to be fully present in a conversation and respond thoughtfully to what another person is saying," Sarkis added.

Millionaires and CEOs alike tout the importance of being productive, organized and grinding 24/7 to build a successful career. While this might be true, there's a different skill that gives successful people a competitive edge in the workplace — being a good listener, says Sarah Sarkis, a psychologist and Exos' senior director of performance psychology. "Few people know how to be fully present in a conversation and respond thoughtfully to what another person is saying," Sarkis adds. But sometimes this very style of listening is why your conversations, your negotiations and your conflicts go sideways." Here, the performance psychologist offers three strategies for becoming a better listener at work:

☆ Psychologist shares the No. 1 exercise highly successful people use to be happier
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-26 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Just like you wouldn't burn through your whole paycheck on payday, you shouldn't use all of your energy every day. Sarkis helps train NFL players, executives at Fortune 100 companies like Intel and Humana, and other professionals how to thrive in high-pressure environments. To her, the most common cause of burnout, even among the highly successful people she works with, is poor energy management. Run your account into the negatives, and you'll quickly deplete your energy supply or shut down completely, she adds. According to Sarkis, the best strategy to stave off burnout and become a happier, more focused person is creating an "energy budget."

☆ The No. 1 habit that sets successful people apart from everyone else, says psychologist: It's a 'nonnegotiable'
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-12 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The path to success is often paved with grit and exertion — at least, that's what we're told. While this might be true, exertion isn't what sets high achievers apart from everyone else — recovery is, says Sarah Sarkis, a psychologist and Exos' senior director of performance psychology. "We mistakenly associate success with constantly having our foot on the gas, and we have complicated feelings when it's not on the gas," Sarkis explains. "We think we're lazy, unfocused or undisciplined when none of that is true." But, the people who prioritize rest are the ones who are "at the top of their game" and "the happiest."

▼ + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Rusal, the world's largest aluminium producer outside China, has not been hit directly by the sanctions imposed on Moscow since it sent thousands of troops to Ukraine on Feb. 24. However, some consumers said last month they would not buy Rusal's aluminium for 2023, and the London Metal Exchange launched a discussion paper on the possibility of banning Russian aluminium from being traded in its system. Steve Hodgson, who previously held the sales director post, will remain with Zug-based Rusal Marketing GmbH to support sales to international consumers. Andryushin "has vast experience in sales development and diversification in difficult market conditions," Evgenii Nikitin, Rusal chief executive, said in the statement. Elias Sarkis will be in charge of Rusal's export sales and Bob Katsiouleris - in charge of market development and quality, Rusal added.
