Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast Today I'm joined by Alice Sheldon, a leading expert in needs-based communication and author of ‘Why Weren't We Taught This at School?', to uncover the missing piece in most of our interactions: understanding human needs. Have you ever felt misunderstood? Struggled to connect with clients, colleagues, or even family? Or wondered why communication sometimes feels like a battle? In this episode, Alice helps business owners, leaders, and professionals enhance their communication, sell with confidence, and build stronger relationships. Join me in this episode as Alice explores how recognising your own needs—and those of others—can completely transform how you communicate, build relationships, and market your business. "Most of us are doing the best we can, but we're also carrying unmet needs we don't even realise we have. When we understand those, everything changes—our confidence, communication, and success." – Alice Sheldon In this Week's Episode... In this episode, you will learn: Create genuine connections in business & life Understand why you get triggered—and how to overcome it Communicate in a way that feels effortless & authentic Develop marketing messages that resonate deeply with your audience Lead conversations with confidence & empathy
Alice Sheldon is the author of ‘Why Weren't We Taught This at School?' and the founder of Needs Understanding, an approach for finding creative solutions and building relationships at home and at work. I love how Alice shares practical tools and stories to bring to life some of the principles of Nonviolent Communication. She also coaches me through an example of an organisation where there is a tension between two groups: those who are enthusiastic about self-management and those sceptical about it. A great episode if you want to upgrade your self-awareness and communication skills.

James Tiptree Jr. (spoiler alert!) is actually the pseudonym for Alice Sheldon, who in her cyberpunk short stories like “The Girl Who Was Plugged In”, addresses gender issues head on. The short story is snarky, crazy, fast-paced, and explicit in its criticism of rigid gender roles and clearly outlines the inevitable tragedies that result from it. In this episode, we talk about what it means to be a woman as a political entity, how beauty and ugliness are defined, and how technology mediates these processes.Read The Girl Who Was Plugged In (free): here Follow the show on:TwitterFacebookEmail Website InstagramYoutube Become a monthly contributor on Patreon: www.patreon.com/leftshelf.Support the show (https://patreon.com/leftshelf)
Claire Pedrick MCC and Alice Sheldon in conversation about conversations and Alice's book: Why weren't we taught THIS at school - the surprisingly simple secret to transforming life's challenges. Drawing on the work of Marshall Rosenburg's Non Violent Communication, Alice's work is all about having better conversations! Takeaways Alice's book addresses the gap in education about human needs. The writing process can be collaborative and not solitary. Understanding needs can lead to better empathy and solutions. Values conflicts in organizations can be deeply personal. Parenting triggers can reveal our own unmet needs. Family of origin influences our emotional responses. Coaching can benefit from understanding needs frameworks. Compassionate leadership can change organizational culture. Mediating conflict requires understanding underlying needs. Practical tools can empower individuals to create change.

This week we interview Alice Sheldon, Founder of Needs Understanding. Who has recently launched her first book "Why weren't we taught this at school?" Alice's passion is sharing the interpersonal skills which make up Needs Understanding. Alice has been a secondary school teacher, a barrister and the Chief Exec of a national charity. She has an MA in Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of Oxford and she is a Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication. She developed a model of partnership parenting, and for a decade worked with hundreds of fellow parents to create thriving relationships with their children. This became the springboard for her creation of Needs Understanding, which brings a partnership approach into all spheres of life. During our conversation Alice also shared a podcast which helped with teenage relationships, Conversations with Annalisa Barbieri, here's a link to the relevant episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-wonder-of-the-teenage-brain/id1567190358?i=1000523246143 We hope you enjoy our conversation!

One of the most extraordinary pen name tales. Sci-fi savant James Tiptree Jr. had accolades, admirers and many, many pen pals. Problem was, he didn't exist.

'I would encourage every author to have their own-book-shaped plan and their own-marketing-shape plan that is theirs, because that is what creates the books that really reflect our own message and that are really full of integrity.' If you're tired of formulaic approaches or cynical marketing tactics, this will be a breath of fresh air. Alice Sheldon had a powerful message to share but found the obvious writing route and standard marketing tactics didn't sit well with her. So she created an Alice-shaped way of authoring and promoting her book, a way that drew on her strengths and drew in help and support from a whole team of 'book friends'. In this conversation we talk not only about the transformational Needs Understanding framework, the 'surprisingly simple secret' of the title, but also the way that by understanding your own needs as an author you can create a way of writing and marketing your book that is not only effective but also joyful and authentic.

VINTAGE SCIENCE FICTION BY VISIONARY WOMEN Written between 1931 and 1979, these 13 stories show how different women have, in different eras, envisioned the future of their sex. Selecting its contents from lesser known writers, Future Eves presents Leslie F. Stone's novelette "The Conquest of Gola" (1931), an encounter with Earth males told from the point-of-view of an alien matriarch. So far ahead of its time, nothing like it would be attempted again in science-fiction until the work of Alice Sheldon (aka, James Tiptree, Jr.) in the 1970s. Hazel Heald's novelette "The Man of Stone," is searingly feminist, all the more so since her heroine, like so many women of the time, takes her brutalized situation so much for granted. In "Miss Millie's Rose" (1959), Joy Leache manages what so few male science-fiction writers of the era seemed able to do: portray a character whose psychology arises out of her future world and not our own. Betsy Curtis' "The Goddess of Planet Delight" is a short novel in the classic mode that mixes a sociological puzzle with pointed satire, high-adventure, and romance. Brace yourself for Djinn Faine's "Daughter of Eve", a story you will never forget, no matter how hard you try. Plus stories by Florence Engel Randall, Evelyn Goldstein, Beth Elliot, Evelyn E. Smith, Marcia Kaimien, and others. Future Eves is fascinating to listen to, both as science-fiction and as an eye-opening view into futures past. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
It's time for another thematic episode, and this time we brought along the requestor himself, Matt, as a guest! How does anonymity impact our dealings with each other? Is our world more like DC or Marvel? And how will the COVID-19 pandemic affect all of it? These topics and more in this episode - listen now! SHOW NOTES: Intro First episode where the Patron is a guest! Welcome to Matt! Shoutout to Nooks & Crannies - Matty & Evan talk about the politics of everyday life, and all the little things that go along with it (NSFW) - https://nooksandcrannies.podbean.com/ New t-shirt design coming soon! We promise! MH Avengers recording sesh next week, so new episode coming there Background (07:00) Secret identities in fiction existed before comic books - the Scarlet Pimpernel and Zorro both predate comics First comic book character with secret identity was the Phantom, who was before Superman, the most famous alter ego in comics Most superheroes had secret identities for decades - Fantastic Four were the first mainstream heroes to be “out and proud” Since then, much has been discussed about whether secret identities are needed or worthy - big stories about heroes “coming out” include Peter Parker in Civil War, and Superman: The Truth by BMB Secret identities are defended as a way to allow the hero to have a private life, as well as protect their loved ones - but it also creates the scenario where they are living a “double life” that they have to hide, creating strain on the hero Issues Are alter egos, or anonymity in general, a psychologically healthy thing? Real life corollary - downside to anonymity allows for things like doxxing, harassment, swatting, etc. (24:20) People in dangerous positions can’t always be public with their social media posts (39:00) Break (51:19) Plugs for Parent Quest, Inner Demons, and Chris Claremont Treatment (53:02) In-universe/out of universe - Technology has accelerated this, but the scenario has existed for quite some time Ending Next episodes: Shredder, MH Avengers: Age of Access (Pt. 2), Dick Grayson, Laura Kinney References: Blazing Saddles - "My mind is a raging torrent..." - Anthony (06:50) Swatting - Anthony (26:30) Fake pizza orders for first responders - Anthony (28:04) Federalist Papers/Publius - Anthony (39:45) Alice Sheldon and Mary Ann Evans - Matt (41:53) TV Tropes - Clark Kenting - Doc (48:20) Crank Yankers - Karl Malone Beanie Babies - Anthony (54:50) Seismic noise reduced because of lockdown - Anthony (68:55) Apple Podcasts: here Google Play: here Stitcher: here TuneIn: here iHeartRadio: here Spotify: here Twitter FacebookE-mailPatreonTeePublicDiscord

Es este capítulo comentamos un cuento de sci-fi, llamado The Screwfly Solution, o La solución de la mosca de la fruta; una historia corta pero elegante y llena de capas; donde misteriosamente los hombres tienen la urgencia de matar mujeres. Escrito por Alice Sheldon, una escritora que decidió usar el seudónimo James Tiptree Jr. para publicar sus cuentos de ciencia ficción e hizo de este personaje uno de los escritores del género más connotados de su época. Más tarde ocuparía el nombre de Raccoona Sheldon para seguir publicando bajo un disfraz que nunca se sacó.
James Tiptree Jr., pseudonym for Alice Sheldon, was one of the genre’s best short story writers. She died 30 years ago this year, but her stories live one. Today, Tiptree is counted among the big feminist writers of the 60s and 70s, but is probably mostly remembered for passing as a male writer and fan … Fortsätt läsa Sweconpoddar 54 – We remember James Tiptree Jr. →
Eavesdrop on host Scott Edelman and writer/musician Sarah Pinsker over lunch at Baltimore's Family Meal on the premiere episode of Eating the Fantastic as they discuss her award-winning fiction, how story titles come to be, the differences (and similarities) between writing and performing, the continuing influence of Alice Sheldon (aka James Tiptree, Jr.) and much, much more.
Science fiction writer James Tiptree Jr. wouldn't talk on the phone or appear in person. He developed friendships with contemporaries like Ursula le Guin and Philip K. Dick purely through letters. And he became a mentor to Chelsea Quinn Yarbro when she was an up-in-coming writer. But James Tiptree Jr. didn't really exist. He was the pen name of a 60-year old suburban housewife named Alice Sheldon. Biogrpaher Julie Philips says Sheldon's real life story was even more surreal than her alter ego.

This last episode of The Writer and the Critic for 2012 sees your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, sink their teeth into non-fiction. But first they give a friendly shout-out to the brand spanking new podcast from Sean Wright, Adventures of a Bookonaut -- to which you should all go and listen right now -- as well as the entertainingly erudite Ambling Along the Acqueduct blog. (Kirstyn's brand spanking new novel, Perfections, might also garner a wee mention.) The duo then become embroiled in a debate about critics and authors and whether one person can or even should wear both hats, as well as whether or not critics need to take the feelings of authors into consideration -- regardless of what kind of spiffy headwear either of them might be donning at the time. The books up for discussion this month are Evaporating Genres, a collection of essays by Gary K. Wolfe (beginning 35:20), and James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon, a biography by Julie Phillips (1:03:50). This thoughtful essay by Jonathan McCalmont is mentioned and, in the spirit of Alice Sheldon, Ian promises to begin writing Letters of Appreciation to authors whose work he has enjoyed. We will follow him up on this next year! There are no real spoilers here but if you have skipped ahead, then please tune back in at 1:39:50 for some closing remarks and (belated) holiday well-wishes. And now for the sad news ... The Writer and the Critic is on hiatus for a couple of months and won't be back until March 2013. The good news is that will give you plenty of time to read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace and House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Hopefully it will give Kirstyn and Ian plenty of time as well! Thanks to everyone who listened to The Writer and the Critic during 2012. Ian and Kirstyn love you all to bits and look forward to talking at you a whole lot more in 2013!
