CE Broker by Propelus Joins Forces With Georgia Secretary of State's Office to Transform Continuing Education Management
'It's extremely important to my office that we keep Georgia's licensed professionals up-to-date on their licensing needs while ensuring that licensure compliance never gets in the way of letting them do their jobs,' said Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. 'The CE Broker solution from Propelus will keep Georgia's hardworking professionals in compliance with their specific industry requirements and let them know that my office means business.'
CE Broker and the Georgia Secretary of State's Office have formed a partnership to modernize the continuing education experience for Georgia's professionals. With CE Broker's innovative solution, professionals will be able to effortlessly track their continuing education requirements for licensure renewal, quickly identifying any gaps and streamlining the entire renewal process. This collaboration is set to simplify the management of renewal requirements, equipping professionals with the tools they need to efficiently and effortlessly manage their licensing obligations.
This partnership aligns with and complements Senate Bill 125, recently passed during the 2025 Georgia legislative session and signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp on May 9, 2025. Under this new law, all licensed professionals will be required to submit proof of continuing education completion prior to license renewal. This change is designed to improve government efficiency, strengthen public protection, and promote safer services across communities in Georgia.
'We commend the Georgia Secretary of State's Office for its ongoing commitment to innovation and the modernization of key processes,' said Julie Walker, CEO of Propelus. 'This collaboration reflects our mutual dedication to enhancing public safety, empowering licensed professionals, and promoting access to high-quality services for the citizens of Georgia through effective licensure, regulation, and education.'
The integration of the CE Broker solution into the GOALS licensing system, a Salesforce solution, is set to begin in June 2025. The Georgia Secretary of State's Office will notify professionals via email when access to CE Broker becomes available. At that time, professionals can create their accounts at www.cebroker.com using their Georgia license credentials. Those who already have a CE Broker account in another state will be able to easily add Georgia to their profile once it's available, allowing them to report continuing education across multiple jurisdictions.

The ‘Corporate Social Responsibility' Mask
Supporters 'corporate social responsibility' say businesses should pursue environmental and social goals, not merely profits. Prominent among them is Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum. According to an independent investigation this year, Mr. Schwab engaged in unauthorized spending and inappropriate behavior toward colleagues. Mr. Schwab, who stepped down as WEF executive chairman in April, rejected the findings. If the oversight on his actions fell short, one might ask, how can corporate social responsibility provide the oversight to prevent business fraud? Corporate social responsibility usually carries a connotation of goodwill, with companies striving to improve the world by supporting initiatives to protect the environment, foster diversity, or invest in struggling communities. Yet some companies use CSR scores to avoid detection of financial fraud.

You know what you need to do, but you keep not doing it. Here's why and what to do about it
The secret? Make peace with failure. [Photo: snowing12/Adobe Stock] BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 5:52 Most people have goals to get ahead and even know, in principle, what steps to take to achieve them, but just keep not taking those steps. For instance, a successful designer does beautiful art on the side and wants to put it 'out there' to see if he has something people will buy. Or a corporate leader has left her role to be an independent consultant and needs to communicate with more people about the value she brings. Both the artist-entrepreneur and the budding consultant know about the steps involved in marketing and sales, but they just keep not taking those steps, at least not enough of them. Something is holding them back. In my experience coaching entrepreneurs and training leaders I find that very often they know what steps they should be taking. One more hack or pep talk isn't going to do much for them. There is, however, a counterintuitive process— teach me how to fail —that can make a huge difference regardless of their specific skill set, goal, or context. Failure is an option Typically, people tend to avoid thinking about failure. Failure is something many people fear. And research does support what most people would probably suspect—that fear of failure really can hold us back, even the entrepreneurial-minded. To avoid thinking about failure can be a way to try to avoid fear of failure. You know— Stay positive. However, research has long shown that it's exposure to our fears, rather than avoiding them, that can help us move past them. And the more fully we can manage to safely revisit the contexts and emotions involved, the better. Findings reveal that when people expose themselves to the fear of failure, and let themselves explore that fear of failure mindfully, it can lead to breakthroughs in how they approach their task. Failure as a strategy Teach me how to fail is a powerful way to flip the script on failure and expose yourself in a safe and thoughtful way to the context and emotions connected with that failure. The process also reveals a wealth of actionable information quickly, that can precisely address what holds someone back. It points them toward what to do differently in their unique context. With this process we view failure as a strategy, and moreover as a successful one. It is not successful at getting to the goal, but successful at meeting some other important need. That shift alone is often an eye-opener for people. Consider a situation of your own where you are not taking action that you think you should. Now reflect on this question: 'How is it serving you to not act?' This is a way of reframing the meaning of failing-to-act in a more positive, often accurate, and adaptive light. Neuroscience shows that reframing the meaning of something in this way can change your emotional state and how strongly the brain may be triggering fight-or-flight mode. In this process, moreover, we try to learn how to fail in the specific ways a person fails to act. Case study Let's consider Tim, the successful designer now looking to expand as an artist-entrepreneur, who took part in a group coaching series I co-facilitate. Trying to move himself to act, Tim said 'I just need to put my art out there and see what happens.' When asked, 'how is it serving you to not put your art out there?' Tim owned up to the fact that it allowed him to avoid finding out whether people would say 'no.' That helped him keep hope alive that his art could find customers. With this we learned what his strategy was helping him succeed with—to keep hope alive. Then we explored further what someone would need to do if they wanted to fail to put their art out there exactly as Tim does. We knew one piece already, which was to value keeping hope alive. His strategy included certain behaviors, beliefs, emotional states, imagining particular reactions from other people, focusing attention on the wrong things, and so on. For instance: 1) we should justify waiting by telling ourselves the product was not ready. 2) We should imagine the letdown we would feel if there was no interest. 3) We should believe it would be bad to learn the answer was 'No,' and that if no one purchased any pieces that means the art is not good enough to be commercial. Difference makers After we had learned how to fail-to-act in precisely the way Tim did, it was much easier to see what might make the difference for him. Here were some of the shifts he made: His focus: Instead of putting energy into justifying waiting, he would put it into justifying not waiting His feelings: Instead of imagining the letdown feeling, he would imagine the exhilaration of the process His beliefs: Instead of worrying about hearing 'no,' he would try to hear 'no.' He would design every outreach so that people have to say yes or no to some step in his sales funnel. Then he would aim to find out why so he could make adjustments. His good intentions: He then reflected on the question: 'How can I keep hope alive better by putting my art out there?' Psychology and neuroscience research highlights how each of these kinds of shifts—focus, feelings, beliefs, serving your good intentions—can make a big difference in whether and how you act. In short, what is happening is that this paradoxical focus on failure as an adaptive strategy interrupts the pattern. It snaps you out of your stuck state of mind and puts you in a more resourceful state of mind. It also shines a light on the hidden assumptions, needs, and habits that have been getting in the way. For Tim, these shifts did make the difference. He put his art out there and is excited about the response. Teach me how to fail is a process I learned from NLP (neurolinguistic programming). It is one of many tools from NLP for quickly identifying the difference that will make the difference for someone to be able to make a desired change in a lasting way.

A top Republican in the Georgia governor's race is suing his rival over campaign financing
Election 2026 Georgia Governor ATLANTA (AP) — One of the top Republicans running for Georgia governor on Thursday sued the other leading GOP candidate, challenging the legality of the rival's campaign funding. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr sued Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in federal court in Atlanta, asking a judge to permanently cut off Jones' ability to spend money from Jones' leadership committee, a special fundraising vehicle that allows Georgia's governor, lieutenant governor and legislative leaders to raise unlimited funds. Jones and Carr are among the candidates competing for the Republican nomination to succeed term-limited Gov. Brian Kemp. The GOP primary is next May, followed by the November 2026 general election, which is expected to be one of the most expensive gubernatorial races in the country. Carr argues that the leadership committee violates Carr's First Amendment right to free speech as well as his 14th Amendment right to equal protection by setting up a campaign finance structure that favors Jones and limits how much Carr can spend on his campaign. The 2021 state law that created leadership committees doesn't grant Carr or other candidates access to the fundraising vehicle. Instead, Carr only has a regular campaign committee which is limited to raising $8,400 from each donor for his primary campaign, as well as $4,200 for any primary runoff. Carr spokesperson Julia Mazzone said Jones 'is using his position to sidestep contribution limits, raise six-figure checks during legislative sessions and funnel unlimited money into a competitive primary through a structure only he can access.' Jones' campaign spokesperson Kendyl Parker called Carr a hypocrite because his office in 2022 defended the same law he is now challenging. Carr's position has been that the attorney general is obligated to defend challenged laws even if he personally disagrees with them. Parker did not address the substance of Carr's lawsuit. Carr announced his run for governor last year, saying he needed longer to raise money because he isn't personally wealthy. Carr's campaign has been voicing concerns for months that Jones will use his leadership committee and family wealth to win the primary. The Carr campaign tried to get the state Ethics Commission to investigate the source of a $10 million loan that Jones made to his leadership committee, but the commission declined, saying Carr failed to allege a legal violation. Carr's campaign cited a 2022 federal judge's ruling that a leadership committee for Kemp could not spend money to get Kemp reelected during the Republican primary that year. U.S. District Judge Mark Cohen found that the 'unequal campaign finance scheme' violated challenger David Perdue's First Amendment right to free speech. But Carr wants much more extensive restrictions on Jones' leadership committee than Cohen ordered. Cohen let Kemp keep raising money for the leadership committee, just saying Kemp couldn't spend it against Perdue. But Carr wants a judge to cut off both fundraising and spending until the primary is over. He also asks that a federal magistrate judge be appointed to oversee all spending by the committee and that Jones' regular campaign committee repay any money already spent by the leadership committee to support Jones. Carr asks the court to block Jones from giving any cash to dark money groups and making any loans to his regular campaign committee during the primary, and wants the magistrate judge to investigate where Jones' $10 million loan came from. Carr has pointed to a 2022 financial disclosure that showed Jones didn't have enough liquid assets to loan his campaign that much. Carr's campaign continues to voice concern that Jones could raise unlimited sums to repay his loan and then give the repaid money to his candidate committee to spend in the primary, warning that such laundering would destroy campaign contribution limits. Carr's campaign has also asked the Ethics Commission for an advisory legal opinion on whether Jones' activity is legal.
