Reaching the UN Sustainable Development goal #5 on Gender Equality there are two things we need urgently to look at: #1 - Create a clear future vision for the world where people are valued for their uniqueness, less conditioned. #2 - Create a safe space to free ourselves from the unconscious biases we are all holding on to.

Eric Ressler is the Founder and Creative Director at Cosmic, a Social Impact Creative Agency. Cosmic empowers social impact organizations to catalyze real world change by helping them nail their impact story, build brand awareness, and inspire action. By and large, the traditional strategies and approaches in the social impact space are still based on what worked well in the pre-digital era. This leaves many organizations under-resourced, siloed, and struggling to reach their full impact potential— because they are not leveraging the power of our current global digital culture. Cosmic helps future thinking social impact organizations understand this paradigm shift and rethink their model and approach to multiply their impact. Eric got his start in design from a very young age, and after leaving a design program in San Diego early to pursue freelance work, cut his teeth running a freelance business in the digital design space. After organically building a strong roster of clients, he discovered a passion for the social impact and philanthropic space. Through working with numerous organizations across this sector, he found that often their missions and visions are strong, but their efforts are stymied by ineffective communications philosophies and practices. Now, Eric and Cosmic are on a mission to help social impact organizations across the globe navigate a rapidly changing world.

From 4P's in Marketing to the 4'E's in Personal BrandingOne of the first things I learned about marketing was around the 4P's in marketing.ProductPlacePricePromotionThis wisdom is still very much relevant in today's environment. However, there is one significant component missing when it comes to the new paradigm of marketing, including Personal Branding. From 2007 I've been helping people to discover and brand their brand. My mission has been to give people space to find out who they are, beyond their labels or boxes as I call it. Jumping out of the boxes that might not be serving you anymore, is a process; it is a journey.In the new paradigm of personal branding, there are 4 E's that are even more important to think about than the 4 Ps.In this solo-episode, I go a little deeper in the process of implementing the 4 E's in your Personal Branding Strategy with the hope that this little wisdom will help you on your way, making a difference in your world. To go even deeper into the topic, check out the 5-Day Out-Of-The-Box Challenge, The Brand Called You and / Or The Eight Master Classes from The Change Makers. I would love to hear from you, if and how this resonates with you and your journey in life. Please feel free to comment below, or send me a private message via our contact form.

A follow-up from my last episode (#136 Jumping Out-Of-Your-Box to Brand Yourself) branding yourself is a lifelong journey.Being in touch with who you are, what you stand for and how you want to serve is a lifelong journey. Think about this:Who would you be if you've had the courage to stand out from the crowd, be more of who you are in the core, and less of who you think you are supposed to be? The difference between knowing something in your head - or being in the human space, the space that belongs to your heart. It's so often a completely different thing - at least I've been noticing that in my own life.I look at myself as a creative being. When I'm in my very best element and flow, I'm in a space of creation, tranquility and endless joy.Being in that space is just such a bliss for me. This is where I can serve as the highest version of myself. This is the space where I'm in my element. This is the space where I see I'm giving people joy, freedom and insights into who they could become when they let go of their own box.However, I've recently realised that I'm actually holding back much more than I thought (my head) I was doing - and ouch… that hurt.Summer 2020 - Time and space to reflectThis summer has been a great adventure for me, as I've been getting out of my boxes, rolling around Iceland with my two middle-aged girlfriends on electric scooters and bikes and then hiking in the pure wilderness of Iceland.These trips have given me such a unique opportunity to explore to a much deeper level. I've been asking myself two deep questions; 1) What is preventing me from letting go of all the ‘should's and ‘have to do's? 2) Who am I when I completely surrender?In this special solo episode, I'm sharing with you my personal thoughts around the fear of letting go, leaving a box that's not serving you. I would love to hear from you, if and how this resonates with you and your journey in life.

Interview with Nicholas Haines the author of the book: The Art of Kind and Flowing Relationships and co-author of the book The Story of Boxes, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - not to mention the co-creator of the #NoMoreBoxes Movement, Methodology and Lifestyle.Give you little insights around this magical and a very dear friend of mine.Nicholas Haines, or Nick as I call him, is the creator of The Vitality Test and Co-founder of the Five Institute.Nick is an entrepreneur, international speaker, strategist, author and teacher in Chinese Energetics. He has spent all his adult life practically applying the wisdom of Chinese philosophy within health, personal development, business, leadership, relationships and international change.Nicholas has always considered physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing as a cornerstone of personal and international change.As such he has spent 35 years on the frontline as a Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and running a busy Complementary Health Centre in Nottingham (UK) before retiring in 2015. Over that time Nick conducted over 50,000 one on one consultations. And as a testimony to his commitment and expertise, for the majority of that time, he had a waiting list of at least six months to see him as a new client, stretching at some points to a ridiculous 2-year wait.Nick and I have had countless conversations around the consequences of putting ourselves and others into endless boxes. How that stops our energy to flow effortlessly. It creates stuckness and stagnation and prevents us from being the highest version of who we were born to be.In one of our first conversations around this topic, I was a bit devastated. I had noticed people kept telling me to step-into-my feminine energy, and quite frankly although I didn't feel they meant anything harmful by saying this to me, I could not stop noticing how their suggestions made my skin crawl.Talking with Nick on this subject, he calmed me down when he said: “There isn't any energy that is feminine, nor is there an energy that is masculine - it's just energy.” Nick just published his brand new book: The Art of Kind and Flowing Relationships, and I had to get him to share his wisdom around relationships, masculine and feminine energies and what is really stopping us from being our best - or our highest version. Some great takeaways from Nick:Be in bliss and exude peace Look into the other side of things Expand and dive into the abyss We are being conditioned, your gender, education, religion isn't who you truly are.The desire to feel good is universal______________________________________The Change Makers are doing a fundraiser for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center.

Megan Taylor Morrison is a professional life and business coach who supports her clients in building their confidence, community, visibility, leadership skills, and resilience, as well as creating a values-based lifestyle.

Steven has promoted Britain's biggest raves, written hit songs and owned a record label that sold millions of albums. He's also fallen on his arse and had to clean toilets and sweep floors to keep his dream alive. It feels like a real-life game of Snakes and Ladders – He pushed his way into shows like The X Factor and managed hit artists. He travelled on Concorde, run marathons and cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats. He's been in business with Duncan Bannatyne, and stopped being in business with Duncan Bannatyne! And now he's in the digital business. But for all the many high points he also experienced more temporary failure than is good for one person. There have been many, many periods in which he made a complete hash of things when he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and flopped on the final furlong. He tripped on the finish line so often he questioned his own sanity. If there was a lesson to be learned he lived it, studied it, absorbed it, taken it on board and then ignored it many times over – even when he thinks he understood it he had to go through it again a few times to really know what it means. If there's one thing he realised over the years it is that with every challenging life situation there is always the seed of opportunity and the hope of brilliance within it. Some great takeaways from Steven:Everyone is going through challenges in their lives Life whispers to you, are you listening?Everybody and everything can teach you something The answer is always no unless you ask the question Let it go Be in the moment ______________________________________The Change Makers are doing a fundraiser for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center.

Meet our guest Ísak Hilmarsson from Kópavogur, Iceland.In 2019 he started such a brilliant project called; ,,Birth stories from fathers" together with his girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, Gréta María a midwife, working at the National University Hospital of Iceland. The main purpose of the project is to get people (not only fathers) to think about and discuss the experience and participation of fathers in the birth of their children.They want to open up the discussion to fathers and encourage them to talk about their experience. Men also have stories to tell when it comes to births and they want to point that out. Their goal is to collect birth stories from fathers and publish them in a book. The purpose of the book is to make the stories available for people to read and also to keep the project ongoing hopefully for many years.Such a brilliant story that showcases how the world is changing as we speak. The #GenderBox of the stereotype of what is a dad or what is a mum. This box is being smashed right in front of us as fathers are saying: “I want to be noticed as a dad! I want to be taking care of my child equally to my partner!”Check out Isak and Greta Maria on these social media platforms; Facebook and Instagram pages or send them an email. Some great takeaways from Isak:Both parents play an important roles during a child birth Men are often put in boxes as just a side kick or supporting role but that is indeed an important key word - “supporting”We all have our stories to tell during all these big moments in our lives - also fathers! ______________________________________The Change Makers are doing a fundraiser for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center.

Meet our guest: Professor Gina Rippon. She is Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuroimaging at the Aston Brain Centre, Aston University, Birmingham. She is a past-President of the British Association of Cognitive Neuroscience and, in 2015, was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the British Science Association. Her research involves state-of-the-art brain imaging techniques to investigate developmental disorders such as dyslexia and autism. She has received funding from The Medical Research Council, The Wellcome Foundation, The Nuffield Foundation, Economic and Social Sciences Research Council, Biological and Behavioural Sciences Research Council, She also investigates the use of neuroscience techniques to explore social processes including gender stereotyping and stereotype threat. She is an outspoken critic of 'neurotrash', the populist (mis)use of neuroscience research to (mis)represent our understanding of the brain and, most particularly, to prop up outdated gender stereotypes. Her book on this topic ‘The Gendered Brain', published by Bodley Head and Penguin Random House, came out in February 2019. She is currently serving on the Fawcett Society Commission which will be reporting on the effect of gender stereotyping in the early years in 2020. She works with organisations such as WISE and Speakers4Schools and the European Union to address the issue of the under-representation of women in science. Some great takeaways from Gina:Knowing one's gender is not informative in terms of understanding what the size of that part of the brain it's going to be Destinations, where people are being led to, is not positive for everybody It isn't about gender differences, it's about how we are conditioned to beWhatever you will put your focus on, will grow. ______________________________________Grab the book THE GENDERED BRAIN Gina talks about here!

THE FATAL ATTRACTION OF BOXES: Why Humans Have Stacked The Odds Against Equality and How We Can Take Back ControlThe purpose of this SOLO-Podcast is to share with you the story behind how and why the #NoMoreBoxes Movement. A movement that's mission is to move people out of their boxes and into the human space. According to psychology studies, the first 7 seconds, you meet another person you automatically make 11 different judgements.Yes, in only 7 seconds you place this person into 11 different boxes! And all of these boxes are made-up in your head, they are all based on how you sense their energy, how you read that person. And the same thing is done to you! - You are being boxed just the same.The purpose of this old habit was initially to help us to create order in our heads. Be aware of possible danger or threat in our lives - the problem with that ancient role is that it's preventing people from having the freedom to be who they were born to be. It's holding people back, it's holding people back from being the highest version of themselves. so…Is this fatal attraction to boxes unchangeable?Is it impossible to change this human behaviour? I'm asked and I ask myself these questions all the time.However, I've made a conscious choice to do something about this and follow Audrey Hepburn quote which said:Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'! Some great takeaways from Runa:Putting people in boxes creates division, isolation and even hateYour boxes can be good, bad and even ugly Boxes limit us all. You, me and the rest of the world Boxes are all your own doing - therefore you have a choice to do differently next timeYou too can become a part of a movement that is raising consciousness on our planetSpotting your box, opening them up, unpacking them and even unfold and recycle is an ongoing process.______________________________________The Change Makers are doing a fundraiser for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center.

Thorsteinn V. Einarsson is masculinity activist and a speaker which is finishing his master degree in Gender studies at the University of Iceland and runs the social media called Karlmennskan (e. Masculinitie) where he aims to put a feminist light on how masculine ideas affects men and the society in a bad way.Thorsteinn calls himself former misogynist that became feminist, so to say, over one weekend in 2014. That event is connected to nail polish and peoples reaction that opens his window to a new sight of life and on himself. Thorsteinn started a social movement on Twitter under the hashtag karlmennskan in Iceland when around 400 men shared their personal stories on how masculine ideas had affected their lives.Since 2018 Thorsteinn has met close to ten thousand people in Iceland to talk about his experience, masculine ideas and how we can and should change what it means to be a real man. Thorsteinn has also produced four webTV episodes on men and masculinities in collaboration with Stundin local news media.Social media:Instagram.com/karlmennskanFacebook.com/karlmennskan Some great takeaways from Thorsteinn :See the bigger vision is essential for changing your perception. Be a human being, 100%Men's boxes can be just as limiting as to the ‘Women's boxEmotions are not gendered, both men and women have emotions - that's human!______________________________________The Change Makers are doing a fundraiser for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center.

I love deep conversations. Conversations that leave you thinking differently about your world and the situation one is in.The other day, in a conversation with a girl-friend of mine we started to talk about the women leaders in this world. What got them there? What was different about having a woman leading a team, business, community or even a country.Then my friend started to reflect on her own journey in life. She shared with me, that she had always dreamt about having her own company. She told me about her old dream business and I noticed as she was sharing her old dream how her face lit up. She looked like a little girl again, full of excitement and love for life.Then she got real quiet and looked at me and said: "Rúna, have I ever shared with you what effect your talk about being in boxes had on me?" I was quite surprised to hear her mention this, as she normally didn't pay any attention to what I'm doing in my world (or so I thought) -"No", I said "I don't have a clue what effect my passion for opening up and unpacking peoples boxes have had on you - please share""Rúna, I just recently realised that I never went ahead with my business idea was because I thought to be a successful business owner I would be seen as a bitch""WHAT!!!" I said: "Why?""Well, in order to be successful business owner, you've got to be ambitious, and I just realised that word was a big NO-NO word for me, I was deeply afraid that if I would pursue my passion I would be judged, seen and talk about like a bitch"I looked at my friend and asked:"What would you have done if you had known, you would not be judged?"She smiled and nodded "I would have gone ahead with my dream"What box have you been putting your dream in?-------------------------------------In this podcast episode, I wanted to share with you, my thoughts around the gender box.What happens when you spot your gender box isn't serving you?Who would you be without your hardwired gender box?I do this with my hope, that you'll start to think about your own box and how it's working for you. Which part of your gender box is good - which is bad and which is even ugly? Some great takeaways from Runa:Step up and step out of your box. It's all in your head anyway. Getting your joyful space in lifeChoose freedom for yourself, for others and for the planet. Be aware of the voice in your head, it's just a voice - not you!Unpack your box and take a look at it. Is it really serving you? ______________________________________The Change Makers are doing a fundraiser for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center.

Have you noticed how many people are telling other people to either:Step-into their femininity?orHeal their masculinity?orThe Rise of Feminine Leadership?I've been hearing this for decades.For a long time, I did talk about these things myself. Did so, because a) I thought everyone had the same thing in mind when they talked about Femininity or Masculinity - or a ‘Feminine and Masculine Box' as I see it today and #2) just thought this was an accepted way. That all changed when Nicholas Haines and I were creating the very first #NoMoreBoxes Breakfast Clubs, and I did for myself, one of the exercises we ask people to do in our events.The process? Well, in short - I spotted that there were things in my gender box that wasn't working for me, so I opened up my gender-box - had an in-depth look at some of the stuff what I had unconsciously placed into my gender box.It was not a pretty sight; in fact, I noticed I had some pretty stinky things hiding inside of my box as a woman. These were my biases, towards people of my gender"! Oh, My God!Noticing my own biases made me also realize to a deeper level how my unconscious program is always running 24/7.I had NO idea that this was my program. However, opening up and unpacking these boxes gave me space to delete the old stinky things in there and mindfully place more empowering things, words and feelings into my box.Getting this deep understanding and then later working with hundreds of people in our #NoMoreBoxes Breakthrough Events, people from all over the world, witnessing them opening up and unpacking their gender boxes, something deep clicked inside of me, that I just can't keep my silence anymore.That's what I'm sharing in this particular podcast episode and video below.While you listen to my story for WHY I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE RISE OF THE FEMININE OR THAT WE NEED TO HEAL THE MASCULINITY, I urge you to take a look at your gender box, open it up and unpack what is inside. It most likely will come as a surprise what you've been hiding in that box, and once you've have spotted the ingredients inside your box, you can make your own choice what you are going to do with it-Meaning, are you going to…Live it - Love it or - Leave it? BOOK RUNA Some great takeaways:Everyone one of us is different, we also have a massively different view/program for what is a man or a womanWe have different boxes, some of them are good, some are bad and some are plain ugly!Be mindful Think before you tell people your view for what they need to do Use the right words.

It took Elke a few years to figure out what she wanted to do professionally in her life. Once she knew, she always pursued her dream jobs until she got them. She thought that's what everybody did.Later she learned that this was not true for everybody.Elke's dream was to work in international environments such as the UN and the EU. And that's what she did: She worked at the UN offices in Geneva and then for 23 years at the European Parliament in Brussels.As fascinating as this was, it was also stressful. What does a stressed out person do to find relief? She puts an additional activity on her plate! This one was a life-changer, though!Alongside her job, Elke followed a training and became a health coach. Learning about the power of the mind was fascinating for her and she became a learning junkie.At the European Parliament, she passed her passion and learning on to MEPs and staff to help them create their happier and more efficient careers as well and to create better informed politics. (Her book: Towards sustainable decision-making in politics: Coaching for Politicians.)Now Elke lives in Munich from where she supports individuals and teams to thrive on their ideal professional journeys.She is also consulting and facilitating what she calls the new politics, modern methods of governance based upon the cooperation between politicians, citizens and experts.Her new website illustrates this work: www.politicsreinvented.eu.Elke works with social innovators at local, regional, national and international levels who trust and enjoy using new ways of decision-making in social governance, leading to new and sustainable solutions.

They see themselves as caretakers and midwifes of the technology that is only in the beginning of it´s life and needs research and documentation. Jesper Bendsen worked 20 years as a freelance IT Consultant, creating his own independent projects on the side, like programming trading robots and designing a flying car which received a grant that he used to verify it´s feasibility. In 2014 he started working with Vacuum/Zero point Energy and build a machine with the aim of harvesting electricity out of the background energy. It was this experiment that later resulted in the APOGI technology.Vision & Mission: They both wish to help people connect to source energy, live from their hearts and use their higher potential. They want to integrate the Apogi technology into mainstream products so that more people are touched and uplifted by the energy that help bring them in alignment with their hearts and souls.

Transformation Coach. Bodybuilder. Yogi. Ex-Investment Banker. Natural Chef. Meditation Teacher. Smiler. Traveller. Lover Of Challenges. Networker. Organisation Guru. Podcast Host.Gareth Martin, knows all too well about trying many things in life. He believes that there is a certain importance around experiencing new things, to help grow you as a person and find out who you are and what you want in life.Gareth was born and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. He was never one to shy away from getting involved in team-sports and thrived in the competition and camaraderie, but he also found a lot of peace and solitude in individual sports, namely swimming. His folks got divorced when he was nine years old, and like with many break-ups, it was pretty messy. It ended up creating a lot of confusion and sadness in his life when he was a teenager. He couldn't quite understand the anger he saw between his parents, because Gareth was always a bit of a soft, compassionate kid at heart.When he was sixteen, his life would take a shocking turn when he was involved in a life-threatening head-on collision while riding his motorbike. Gareth looks back on this event with good fortune because he believes that it gave him a different perspective on life which he would not have otherwise had. He knows it's important to make the most of every opportunity because you do never know when your time might be up. After deciding to overstay his first gap year in London, it was time to get serious and find a real job. So he went to a job fair and managed to get himself a role doing the filing at an Investment Bank. Little did he know, that it would be a career which would span almost 20 years. These days, Gareth works as a Transformational Coach, he is also the co-host of The Ridiculously Human Podcast. It took him a couple of years of transformation and upskilling to get him here though. After banking, he spent 3 months in India learning to become a Yoga and Meditation Teacher. He then spent a year studying to be a chef. He also completed a few other life-changing courses, one of which included getting certified as an Executive Coach. Gareth believes in not letting anyone else's thoughts stop you from doing what you want in life. Embrace each opportunity which comes it's way and make the most of every interaction you have. Make the most of your relationships and friendships and treat every moment as a learning opportunity. Doctor of Chiropractic. Science Enthusiast. Networking Machine. Smiler. Deep Thinker. Rock Solid Buddy. Truth Seeker. Pragmatist. Host of The Ridiculously Human Podcast Craig was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, known as the friendly and windy city! He struggled a bit as a youngster with self-esteem issues. At times, he sometimes felt disconnected with his parents, he blamed himself for their fighting and would use food as a coping mechanism, and he ate a lot!!His Grandad, played a big influence in his life and ‘their thing' was to go fishing together. Besides being a great storyteller, his Grandad would also teach all the grandkids how to drive from a very young age, as well as, how to do the Waltz!When Craig was 17 years old, something would happen that would take him on a new life trajectory. Their little family sausage dog, Jackie, was in extreme pain and had lost the use of her back legs. The vet could not help Jackie, so he sent them to see a Chiropractor. The Chiropractor, adjusted her spine and the lame legs she went in on, she managed to walk out on….!! A year later, he was living in his sister's garage in Johannesburg, to begin his studies to become a Chiropractor.Craig suffered a severe setback when he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an autoimmune condition. It started with inflammation in his eye, and his pupils would not dilate. He then experienced inflammation in his knees and hips, which really impacted his mobility, and being a Chiropractor, that was a rather scary prospect. Through hours of learning and searching and implementing changes in his diet and mindset, he has never been healthier and has no signs of ever having anything.Once qualified, a rather serendipitous scenario led him to accept a job in the Netherlands. It was a bit of a shock moving to somewhere he had never been, had no friends, didn't understand the culture and never spoke the language either!! Talk about throwing yourself in the deep end. Craig is a master of many things, two which stand out are, excelling in his profession as a Chiropractor and his likeability factor. He makes a huge effort to network and make others feel comfortable. He likes adventure and to take calculated risks, and now resides with his wife, Chantelle, in Australia. He gets to see his brother often, lives near the beach, enjoys the great weather, has a thriving practise and Chantelle has a highly successful business too! Some great takeaways from Craig and Gareth:Be Authentic. Be HumanShow empathy - it mattersIt's normal to have tough times but look at it in different and positive mindset to make it easier Humans are problem solversIt should be your choice on how you see yourselfLearn to listen each otherUnderstand yourself to understand others______________________________________The Change Makers are doing a fundraise for their #NoMoreBoxes Online Training and Collaboratory Center.
