Ruth Rochelle's life and career changed when, in 1979, she met Ariana Huffington and took part in the first Insight Seminar ever to happen in the United Kingdom.Ruth describes this moment as her invitation into self-reflection, the start of her career, and the time when she started to become the leader in her own life. In Café Royal on London's Regent Street, with 100 people – including some famous names – she had an experience she calls mindblowing and heart-opening, revealing deep truths that had previously been hidden from view.In this episode of the Coach's Journey Podcast, Ruth sheds light on the vast worlds of discovery that opened up to her following that first Insight Seminar, which propelled her into a career as a global facilitator and as a renowned expert on conscious leadership in teams and organisations.Ruth tells host Joey Owen how her remarkable appetite for learning and exploration also led her to study Internal Family Systems, which now underpins her work as an accredited master executive coach, IFS practitioner, systemic team coach and coaching constellations practitioner.In this episode, Ruth and Joey also talk about:Psychosynthesis and other therapeutic models that are harnessed by coachesHow to shift from protective behaviours in order to stand up in your authenticityThe ripple effect and how it can amplify both our limiting patterns and our effective onesThe way systems theory can help us stay in balance and adapt to our current truthRuth ends the podcast with a truly vital message about the parts of ourselves that we bring to interactions with others and the roles we all have to play in taking humanity forward.For more information about Ruth, visit https://www.ruthrochelle.com/For more information about host Joey Owen, visit http://www.joeyowencoaching.com/Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Ariana Huffington https://www.instagram.com/ariannahuff/?hl=en - Insight Seminars https://insightseminars.org/ - John Roger https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-08-14-vw-882-story.html - Russell Bishop https://russellbishop.com/about - Internal Family Systems https://ifs-institute.com/ - Psychosynthesis Coaching, Auburn Howard https://www.psychosynthesiscoaching.co.uk/ - NLP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming - Results Unlimited https://www.upwork.com/agencies/1140793201640026112/ - Internal Family Systems Therapy by Richard Schwartz https://www.amazon.co.uk/Internal-Family-Systems-Therapy-Guilford/dp/1572302720 - The Leadership Circle https://leadershipcircle.com/leadership-assessment-tools/leadership-circle-profile/- Robert Kegan and the Immunity to Change model https://www.gse.harvard.edu/hgse100/story/changing-better#:~:text=Based%20on%2030%20years%20of,distortions%20that%20keep%20you%20from - AOAC master systems coach https://www.aoac.org/aoac-training-courses/ - Third Space https://www.thirdspace.london/ BIOGRAPHY FROM RUTHFor more than 25 years Ruth has been a coach – an executive and team coach, workshop facilitator, transformational coach and coach supervisor – with private clients and with organisations.Ruth is an Accredited Master Executive Coach with APECS, an IFS (Internal Family Systems) Practitioner with the IFS Institute and a Coaching Constellations Practitioner, and her clients have included creative professionals, start-up founders, senior managers, young emerging leaders, celebrities, coaches, and many more.Ruth supports her clients to create and achieve their visions, enrich their relationships, navigate changing circumstances, embark on new life directions, start and grow businesses, address specific challenges, experience greater wellbeing and connect to a meaningful purpose.

Claire saw a post about on Linked In from Kay Young about how Kay disliked the word mastery.  Sharing her dislike of the word, Claire invited Kay to The Coaching Inn to find out more.    Kay shares her experience of dialogue and relationship building in her recent accreditation with APECS. We talk about  the liberation that comes for coaches when they discover a sense of 'enoughness' rather than being  'not good enough yet'. We explore the potential of coaching to affect systemic change or social justice on a person-by-person basis. Instead of mastery, perhaps there is a more humble approach to personal development? In a recent coach training hosted by coach Naomi Ward at The International School Bremen, one of the delegates described the journey to coaching as going from hero to zero.   Here is a poem which Kay wrote at the retreat   More words…   Breathing more deeply as I head up the drive towards The Farm. Immersing myself in the landscape. The sense of space, silence, stillness. Hearing the wind chimes chanting their sacred sound. Whispering: it's time to surrender, to let go, to call off the search. I knew, deep in my bones, I'd never been more ready. It happened without effort. Effortless, really. This capacity to see and feel another Beautiful human soul. I cried quiet tears Of joy. What a gift. This seeing. Really seeing. Being seen followed. On a BIG screen. With no place to hide; And no interest in hiding. The words that were spoken, Emerged from my heart and soul Birthed by the mystery of life itself. Some weeks on, I notice A sense of space, silence and stillness lingers on. Despite life intervening. I say less. Ask less. Plan less. And I feel more; and notice more. I have a sense that surrendering is finding its place; Deep within my heart, blood and bones. It's taken an entire lifetime.   Contact Kay Young through Linked In   We also talked about Nick Askew's Soul Biography course and a recent podcast with Mark Goulston.   Let's leave the final word with Parker Palmer: "The human soul doesn't want to be fixed, it simply wants to be seen and heard. The soul is like a wild animal - tough, resilient and shy. When we go crashing through the woods shouting for it to come out so we can help it, the soul will stay in hiding. But if we are willing to sit quietly and wait for a while, the soul may show itself".

For me, all my work is about “not business as usual”, because I think I'm conscious of the challenges of supporting a system that I think is broken.  Join coach, supervisor and author, Eve Turner, in conversation with Yannick Jacob as they explore the role of coaching supervision. In this wide-ranging discussion, Eve and Yannick explore: The role of coaching supervisionUsing recorded sessionsClarifying supervisionThe three functions of supervisionTechniques for generating supervisory awarenessReflective practice skillsThe importance of the contract in coachingTime To Think supervisionBringing the system into the roomMaking supervision funClimate and ecological-crisis coachingWhat is transformation in coaching  About Eve Turner Eve has had three careers, in music, broadcasting and now coaching and supervision.  She sees their links through her interest in communication, collaboration and interrelationships.   As a classical guitarist and then a willing, if not very able, orchestral conductor, Eve learned how the whole can be so much more than the sum of the parts and how the quality of the communication and relationships affected the outcome.     She was a journalist, senior leader and internal coach in the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) before setting up her own practice.  Eve has won many awards for her research, writing, coaching and supervision.   She does extensive volunteering alongside a busy practice: this includes co-founding and being part of the coordinating group for the Climate Coaching Alliance, founding and co-leading the Global Supervisors' Network, and as immediate past chair of the coaching and supervision professional body APECS, and volunteering for the AC and EMCC.     Eve's books include ‘Ecological and Climate-conscious Coaching: A Companion Guide to Evolving Coaching Practice' (2023) co-edited with the late Alison Whybrow, Josie McLean and Peter Hawkins, ‘The Ethical Coaches' Handbook' (2023) co-edited with Wendy-Ann Smith, Jonathan Passmore, Yi-Ling Lai and David Clutterbuck, ‘Systemic Coaching'(2020) with Peter Hawkins, and ‘The Heart of Coaching Supervision – Working with Reflection and Self-care' (2019) co-edited with Stephen Palmer.

When Lucy Ball found herself throwing golf balls into buckets at Deloitte in the mid-90s, she became caught up in the first sparks of the corporate coaching boom that would sweep through countless industries in the decades that followed.In our conversation, she describes how the people she met during that time – such as GROW-model creator Sir John Whitmore – offered a new leadership pathway, which involved a departure from dictative models and allowed coachees to lead their own development.While Lucy was director of the international leadership consultancy, Ideas Unlimited, she began to transition into high-performance coaching. She describes how, by facing fears of going it alone without backup and facilitating teams of “heavy hitting people”, she found a sense of power and influence while shaking off her inner critic and her need to be rescued.A self-described “magpie" in her twenties, Lucy now focuses her attention on Lucy Ball Consulting, where she applies her skills as an accredited Master Coach and Gestalt practitioner while working with clients such as NatWest, PepsiCo, HSBC, UK Sport, M&C Saatchi Group, BUPA and the NHS.Lucy is training to be a psychotherapist and finding ways to channel her work more altruistically, with people who might not have access to sizeable training budgets. She is also finding agency and empowerment through her passionate climate activism. In this episode, we talk about:How to get comfortable talking about being a coachThe benefits and pitfalls of coaching accreditation programmesKnowing when to partner up and the power of taking people with youWhat happens when you choose a modality and "go deep"Going "back to the source" of counselling and psychotherapyPairs coaching and the new lens it can offer leadersWe also talk about finding community and the joy that can be unlocked when people work together on big problems.To learn more about Lucy, visit https://www.lucyballconsulting.comFor information about my wider work, my writing or to buy my books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

In this special episode, we chose to reflect on endings in coaching. Gregor was one of four coaches who contributed to an article on this topic for Coaching At Work, and we wanted to take the opportunity to think this through together on our podcast.   We talk about the emphasis that is placed on the start of coaching engagements, and the importance that is placed on the results that are achieved. Yet, ending a coaching engagement well is a topic that appears to have received less attention, but is crucially important. Listen in if you'd like to learn more about how we can best end coaching engagements. About the article: Further to a webinar on ‘Ending Well', organised by APECS (The Association for Professional Executive Coaches and Supervisors) in November 2021, there was a general recognition that very little had been written on practices related to ending with coaching clients. Wanting to address this topic further, four coaches who had attended the webinar penned an article for Coaching At Work. This has now been published in the May 2022 edition. The intent of the article was to start an inquiry, which may lead to further research that could define and propose best practices within the profession.  Resources: Coaching at work - https://www.coaching-at-work.com/ APECS - https://www.apecs.org/

In this episode Dr Natalie Lancer explores and discusses with Stephanie Wheeler, David Love and Anna Sheather how a creative-based approach to coaching can support others. We consider how coaching can help people be more creative and what that means by asking: What does it mean for the coach to take a creative approach to their coaching? What are the benefits for the coachee of exploring and expanding their own creativity? Which creative techniques can we use to facilitate the generation of insights for coachees? How does a sense of playfulness enhance the coaching relationship? What does it mean to empower clients without censoring their creative explorations? How do we create a safe space in which clients can experiment? How can we own our creative voice as a coach and support others to do the same? What are the ways in which we can apply outcomes from creative coaching sessions to specific real-world situations? How might organisations benefit from a more creative coaching approach? How do we encourage clients to sustain and leverage their creative insights? Bringing a sense of playfulness and creativity to the coaching relationship and environment has attracted recent interest and research. Our panel of experts discuss how taking a creative approach benefits both individuals and organisations. Our guests today are: Stephanie Wheeler is an ICF accredited coach, working with executives, leaders and emerging leaders. She holds an MSc in Coaching & Behavioural Change and is also a research supervisor on the Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology (MAPPCP) at the University of East London.

Stephanie co-delivers team workshops and coaching sessions on playfulness, creativity and imagination in work.   David Love is a leadership coach, coach supervisor, cartoonist and author, working with senior and middle managers in the public services. He believes in the power of creativity for finding innovative solutions to leadership challenges – from day-to-day dilemmas to the major issues needing urgent attention such as inequality and the climate emergency. David spent four years as a Visiting Tutor at Henley Business School, teaching on the Master's-level Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching Programme. David co-authored Advanced Coaching Practice – Inspiring Change in Others, which included a chapter on creative methods.   Anna Sheather is an accredited APECS Master Executive Coach and coach supervisor. She has been increasingly drawn to combining her passion for art with her passion for coaching.

In this episode we are joined by two incredibly experienced supervisors, Eve Turner and Carole Davidson, to explore why supervision is so important in coaching. The ICF defines coaching supervision as a collaborative learning practice that continually builds the capacity of the coach through reflective dialogue for the benefit of both coaches and clients. Supervision provides coaches with a safe place in which they can reflect on their practice and receive coaching about their coaching approach and support with any challenges, difficulties or ethical considerations. We explore how critical supervision is for coaches working in organisations (it is starting to be used as part of the coach selection criteria), both for external coaches and those internal coaches who often face a challenge regarding boundaries as a result of working inside the organisation. About our guests: Eve Turner is an Accredited Master Executive Coach and Coach Supervisor, and co-founder of the Climate Coaching Alliance. She is also chair of APECS, founder of the Global Supervision Network and author of two books; 'The Heart of Coaching Supervision: Working with Reflection and Self-Care' with Stephen Palmer, and more recently; 'Systemic Coaching: Delivering Value Beyond the Individual‘ with Peter Hawkins. Carole Davidson is an Accredited Supervisor and Senior Coach-Mentor Practitioner and Assessor with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and has extensive experience as a supervisor, especially of internal coaches. She is the author of the book Flying Solo Under 30'.

The IcePod goes live and Antarctic! For our first live episode that we broadcasted during the APECS workshop "Antarctic Science: Global connections", we met with the Australian weather observer and Ph.D. candidate Vicki Heinrich. Well, actually, it wasn't only Vicki but we had another special guest: Vickie's pet cat sneaking around.  For more than ten years, Vicki has been a regular in the Antarctic to look at the clouds and play with balloons, all courtesy of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM). To be trained on the ten types of clouds, she found this opportunity once in a newspaper, and it saved her from the mining industry. To get paid to stay twelve months at a weather station in Antarctica still feels extraordinary to her – as are the beauty of the Antarctic icescape and the many friendships she has built along the way, both with colleagues and penguin colonies. So why did Vicki then move into psychology? In 2019, she started her Ph.D. thesis with the project "Use of Weather and Climate Information: Risk perception and decision-making in the Antarctic" in order to learn more about how people use weather information to make their daily decisions. To get to know the other side – the user's perspective – is clearly an add-on to her career, and to us as her project got YOPP-endorsed. It turns out – as a preliminary result – everybody wants to know about the wind.For updates and other materials, check also our website: https://theicepodcast.home.blog/If you want to know more about the Association for Polar Early Career Scientist check the APECS website at https://apecs.is/More about the APECS workshop "Antarctic Science: Global connections" can be found at https://www.apecs.is/events-archive/390-scar-2020-workshop.html?layout=*Read about Vicki's project at https://www.facebook.com/UWCIAntarctica or at the YOPP-endorsement projects overview https://apps3.awi.de/YPP/The IcePod is the podcast about polar science and the people.

I am so excited for today's episode with business executive and team leadership coach, Gregor Findlay the owner of Courageous Development! Gregor was the very first business coach I ever had. I was just promoted to Site Director in Accrington, near Manchester, to set up and open a brand new contact center. I was clearly talented, but out of my depth. My team was non existent, everyone I hired I felt I had to “control” because I could do it better myself. In no time I was overworked, stressed and frustrated. Thankfully my employer offered me help - in the person of Gregor Findlay! Gregor is an APECS Accredited Executive Coach with 18 years of experience and has helped hundreds of senior managers, directors and C-suite executives undergo transformative change, both personal and organisational. Gregor's mission is to help leaders and leadership teams develop and grow so they can make a bigger difference for themselves, their people and society. Gregor worked with big blue chip companies - such as Dell, Novartis, Munich RE and Sitel, where I got my coaching with him. He holds a BSc in psychology from the University of Edinburgh; his coaching is grounded in psychology  and neuroscience. Let's roll! Our Facebook group

Just a reminder that we're subscribable on iTunes and on Google Play or wherever you get your podcast. And just do the search for SUU APEX. All right so let's get talk in here to my guests. I've got two of my favorite ladies and what we're doing today is we're kind of doing a behind the scenes with APEX for the spring semester. Those of you who know me well know I love me some TV and I love watching series where there's this after show or the behind the scenes or the looking behind the curtain of sort of the inner workings of things and that's what we're doing with the show. I'd like to kind of do it every semester and kind of talk with some of my great great great awesome staff and friends about how we make this thing work and some memorable moments from the season. So what I'd like to do is for you guys to introduce yourselves and maybe talk a little bit about what you do for APEX Who'd like to go first. [00:02:28] I can start my name is Roxane Cailleux and I graduated last year from SUU with a communication degree and now I work for Lynn and I am the event planning assistant and I just work alongside Lynn and we organize everything. So for me what I do is from social media to managing the class because we have a convocation class so grading the students and making sure they are fine. I also take care of the food orders, catering facilities, all of that. [00:03:14] She does everything. Let me tell you this whole thing would not run without her. We like to say that she's like my right and left hand. I mean assistant is not even the word to describe it. You're definitely our producer and really you have a hand in every single aspect of what we do. Yeah a lot of e-mails every day that is true. What is your favorite aspect of your job. [00:03:39] I like the day of. Everything from in the morning when we get there to the end when we wrap up. It's my favorite thing to do because there's adrenaline I like seeing people in the audience react. And I like meeting the speaker who we've been working to get here for so long. And yeah just like that day. But I like everything that I do. [00:04:03] But yeah yeah we definitely like our office time together. [00:04:08] Mondays Greek Fries [00:04:10] Yeah. Greek fries in the office while we get everything done. Yep yep. Thanks Roxie. [00:04:17] All right. Katie tell us about yourself. [00:04:19] Hello my name is Katie Englert and I teach in the ESL program here at the American Language and Culture Center. And for APEX I take pictures so I do all the photography during the event. Some of you out there might have seen me trying to be nonchalant as I walk around and take pictures. [00:04:42] But I love having you with APEX because you have a really artistic eye. You know and I'd like to know like everybody to know a little bit about your background because you have an anthropology background so when you're looking at a subject you're looking with a very specific kind of lens. [00:05:00] Yeah my background is in both anthropology and photojournalism so I kind of started my career as a photojournalist and then moved into visual anthropology and culture anthropology and my master's studies. But yes so I'm I'm definitely looking observing. I try to keep that camera up to my eye 24/7 when I'm sure an event like apex. And I'm just trying to find that moment that will tell the story. So it's always a challenge because sometimes people who are speaking can be kind of hard to shoot because it's often just someone speaking at a podium. So I'm just trying to catch that moment that's in between to kind of give some humanity to the person that's speaking and tell the story. That's so cool [00:05:50] If I can add something. You've really elevated it from my point of view since I do social media. You've really elevated the social media aspect of APEX. Oh wow thank you. But it's become really nice looking. Every week we have really good pictures to post so I think people enjoy that. [00:06:08] Yeah I think one of the things that's so cool is that in addition to kind of the standard shots you know you're really going for some interesting and different shots and I really love that. I mean can you talk about some of those. [00:06:20] Yeah that's that's especially what I'm trying to find those those moments before the event happens. One of my favorite moments I think was with her when Jeff Bradybaugh was here and it was a moment while you were speaking introducing him and he was kind of to the left of you in the frame and he's like looking up at the PowerPoint. But it's just this nice light coming on his face and and the moment the composition just worked. And for me that was my favorite shot of the whole event even though it wasn't focused on him it was just the sense of him talking about him. But I'm just always looking for that kind of behind the scenes moment and because that adds to what he is talking about or the speaker is talking about in what everybody sees. And so thanks for the Yeah that's really nice. [00:07:14] You're really able to get kind of the feel of the event that way and that's one of the things that I've really enjoyed about your work. You know I had no idea that that photo was your favorite. And for those listening I mean we're talking about photographs but you can definitely check out all of our photographs by going to our Facebook page which is SUU APEX Events or just search for SUU APEX or they're all on the website which is suu.edu/apex and all of Katie's photos from the event. [00:07:45] So there and I had no idea that was one of your favorites [00:07:49] One of my favorites from like like before the actual event. And just because I felt like it came together in just a nice little moment that you know only maybe I saw. And yeah but hopefully it tells a bit about the scene. [00:08:03] Oh my gosh. So do you have any other favorite photos? That one of Susan Casey... [00:08:08] Yeah that was good. I like that. That was a nice moment too. She was interacting with someone that was buying her book. And again just trying to be in the right place at the right time. That's my goal. That's my job. And when I can do it successfully I'm happy. So got that one stands out. Some of lemon. ANDERSON Yeah and just performing. Those were always fun to shoot because again you're trying to get that emotion and that intensity from what the person is doing. [00:08:45] Was there anyone that was particularly was there any particular event that was more challenging to shoot from a from a fit of graphics and we'll talk about content later but from a photographic standpoint was there one that was more challenging the business. [00:08:59] One was a little bit of a challenge but I liked the challenge. Those are my favorite because I'm try again trying to get the best shot. But that was a challenge because it was a panel. So I was trying to move around and trying to get everybody in the same shot without it being boring or you know like a missed moment. So just waiting waiting and waiting for that moment to happen with five or six people in the same shot. So that can be tricky. And also just the lighting can be sometimes pretty dark in our room a lot of time. [00:09:31] What do you use. What kind of equipment. I mean I don't know much about this kind of thing. [00:09:37] My cameras rather old. I was just telling someone earlier today it's about 12 years old. Why did I use a Nikon 80. So for those of you photographers out there it's pretty old but I have an idea. 200 that is the lens I usually use especially when I'm far back and then 50 or 35 I think. So yeah I could definitely use some better gear but it'll you know it'll happen and you can do a lot. I've had those two lenses for 20 years and then they work pretty well. [00:10:10] Definitely working for us. How about you Roxy what's maybe more challenge. Is there a particularly challenging part of the day or of the event or something that you always know you have to kind of manage. [00:10:24] Probably the lunch Yeah I was going to say the lunch invites and I really try throughout the week because we get our RSVPs and everything so I try to make sure that we have everyone and then it's just a little it's a little scary for me to actually get to a lunch and then I'm just scared that someone is going to show up and be like. I RSVPd But I don't have them on my list and I have to make room for them. I have to tell them you have to go home. That's a little stressful for me. And then I try to anticipate as much as I can but I'm always nervous about just last minute problems like Chartwells is great but you know I'm always like is the team going to be there you know and stuff like that. Yeah. [00:11:12] Chartwells is our catering man. We've really had such great experiences with them this semester. We've tried some new different kinds of foods for the lunches and things like that and that's just been really fun. So yeah but you always want to make sure you know you do such a great job of anticipating my every need and sometimes I'm about to say and how about. And she's heard did it which is great. [00:11:37] So yeah it's easier if you just anticipate everything that could happen. That's what I learned from what I from I've been planning since I've started. And you just have to anticipate what could happen what's the worst that can happen that day. And then you always already have a backup plan. So if it actually happens then you know what to do and you don't have to freak out about it. And we don't need backup plans. So really really great. There's not a lot of times where something happens. [00:12:08] Yeah. I've been really thrilled with everything that way. OK. Going to a more sort of global thought Why do you think. You know we really believe in this series and I know you guys really believe in this series. But you know maybe talk a little bit about why do you think this series in particular or any speaker series like this is important to have on campus or why is it important to why do you think it's important to this community. [00:12:40] I think it's important for the students because we're in a university and it's all about learning and discovering new things and not staying in your comfort zone. So I think we're very lucky to have so many great people come to campus. And we're a rather small school and the fact that we can bring this type of people is is really impressive and it's really we're really lucky so the fact that the students can just show up for free every week and have a chance not only to hear what they have to say but also interact with them make connections. I mean I've seen students talk to the speakers and you know get their information. And so it's a really great thing to have on campus. I think it's very important to keep doing it. [00:13:30] That actually happened quite a bit just a couple of days ago with Dr. Bert Tisbury. You know she was giving out her phone number and you know all kinds of connections were happening and that's that really makes me happy. Katie what do you think. [00:13:44] I agree with everything you just said and just the diversity of this past year of the speakers that have come for Apex has just been truly remarkable and I feel really lucky. I mean I feel like to be a part of it as a shooter but I really feel lucky just to be a part of the audience and hear all of the different experiences that the speakers bring to the event and especially the diversity like like you said. And I like that we have people who are former alumni. We have people in the community. We have people from all walks of life all ethnicities diversity jobs. And I think it's just one of the best things about you that I just love. So it's very exciting to be a part of it. [00:14:30] Yeah that's definitely the diversity component has been something that we've been really from the design process really focusing on. And you know it it's not just bringing in a diverse environment from around that's certainly a key aspect of it. But like you said you know once a year we're featuring and then alumni and then we're bringing people from our community and our environment like off the cuff or the superintendent for design National Park and I think that you know continuing to showcase the just everything that's around us. [00:15:03] And then couple that with bringing people in is definitely a passion of mine and a goal for the series so I'm glad that that's been a meaningful part of it for you. Yeah that's great. Well I think what we'll do is we'll play a song now so I've got in my typical style Yeah. All kinds of things. I've been digging deep into this playlist. That's a bunch of kind of I guess emerging artists or perhaps new mostly new artists from the South by Southwest 2018 festival so I've got a few more from that. This first song is going to be called thanks 4 nothing. And it's by Nilufer Yanya and it's the title track from the album. Thanks for nothing. And again it was one of South by Southwest features and you can find it on Spotify or wherever you listen to music. You're listening to KSUU thunder ninety one point [00:19:03] Ok well welcome back. And this is Lynn Vartan and you're listening to KSUU ninety one point one and this is the apex hour and this is our kind of behind the scenes for this season's show. And I've got Katie and Roxie joining me and we're just kind of talking about how the season went down and some standout moments and just you know a little bit more about the inner workings of Apex the band. So welcome back Roxie and Katie Hello. [00:19:33] So what I'd like to do is kind of just talk about we had 11 events 11 or 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 11 events this spring and just kind of I'd like to just sort of remember them and maybe get a couple sentences from you about like your reflection or something you remember about it. We began the season the way our season works for anybody who doesn't know it's a weekly event series. During the course of the academic school year in the fall we start about the second week of September and run all the way up until Thanksgiving. Then we take a little break for the holidays retool. We begin in about the second week of January 2nd or third week and then go all the way through till the first week of April which is when we finish which is this week. So we began the season with our distinguished faculty lecture. What this event is is that there is opportunity for faculty members on campus to submit a written a paper presentation. That is original and that is adjudicated by a faculty committee that has nothing to do with APACS I'm not on the committee or none of our team is on the committee it's an internal university committee who goes over all of these proposals and then chooses one to be our faculty distinguished lecture and then we host that event where the faculty member reads their lecture. You may remember last year was Dr. Marbeck an art history and then this year our event was Dr. Ravi Roye and his talk was titled rebuilding public trust and democratic governance. The great political paradox you guys have any memories from that or thoughts about that one. [00:21:26] I know for me that the key that he brought up that I was really interested in was his opinion of the state and of democracy and where we move forward with democracy and that he's a little nervous about kind of the process of where we're going with democracy. Did you guys have any memories from that one. Yeah I remember I remember that although January seems like a long time ago now. But I remember thinking at the time when I was shooting it how great to hear what he's researching and what I remember as who is working on and just being really excited about that and not realizing at the time which again is why I think APECs is so amazing and that it brings speakers like Ravi to discuss the research and for the public to understand what they're working on. Yeah I think that's cool because I mean I you know you you see people's names and maybe you're on a committee with them. That's actually then really see what or hear what they're discussing is amazing anybody wants to know more about Dr. Roy's presentation. He was also our very first radio guest on the show. So you can definitely check out his talk with me on the podcast and we go over a lot of the things that he mentioned and and his thoughts. So yeah I'll move on to the next one. [00:22:57] Did you have anything to say about [00:22:59] Just for me. It was kind of a special one from an event standpoint as you said. You know we had our first radio show with him and I think that's when we changed the seating to theater. And I just I really liked that and yeah just the first one of the season is always kind of special. So. [00:23:19] That's right. That was when we did the seating change and other behind the scenes tidbit wearing a very large conference hall and it's a really cool room but we always had just one aisle down the center. And actually we changed it so that we had multiple aisles so there's actually four different entry points kind of four aisles the two on the outer edges and then two in the middle which makes it really easy for people to kind of get in and get seated especially late comers. You don't have to feel like you're climbing over everybody in the movie theater that type of thing so cool. All right our next one was the SUUSA roundtable was a state of the Union and I called it where we had several of our Southern Utah University centers and just discussing different topics on campus and just kind of seeing what our young leaders are doing. This one. You know I'm not sure if we're going to make it an annual event or not. You know but it was really important I think to have the senators there and to kind of hear what their what the topics of interest to them are and kind of how they're looking at leadership. Did you guys have any memories from that one. [00:24:28] I can't believe this was the second event that we did. It feels like yesterday. It's so weird that it was the second. Yeah. But I thought it was a different event than what we usually do. And I liked having them there. And for me when I was a student I never really knew what SUUSA was doing. So I think it's really good for everyone to have been able to listen to them and see what they're actually working on. And yeah and I was really happy about the turnout attendance wise because I was a little worried about it. Some people just don't show up but it was really I think we got about 100 people a little bit less but that was really that's a surprise too I think to everybody and it turned out really well so yeah. [00:25:18] And that one within our smaller room we sometimes do events in the waiting room which is a smaller room and it's about a 100 120 capacity and yeah we had quite a few people at that one. [00:25:29] Just to add to what Roxie said. I think it was just great to have them their presence in a forum like APEX and how articulate everyone on that panel was really impressed with the panel and again it just made me really appreciate you and the students that are here and representing Southern Utah. And yeah I just was really impressed with without having gone. [00:25:58] Well that was January and then we move on to February and we began our event with our meet the business building which is you know a real special event for this year. It's kind of one of these once in a lifetime once because I mean new buildings don't go up every day on campus and we have this amazing brand new business building that's that's coming up. And this event was all dedicated to the making of that building. We had facilities we had the architects coming here the the contractors the business Dean spoke and that was kind of a roundtable discussion and one of the things that really stood out to me and maybe you guys feel the same way as the artist was I didn't [00:26:41] There was going to be some really cool art in that building that really reflect our natural landscape. Glasswork that's going to reflect off of the light and all these things and there's going to be a lot of social areas in that building and outdoor areas. I was really excited learn about that. [00:27:00] Yeah it was really amazing to see all those parts come together in that one for. And they had slides to kind of show what the business building is going to look like both inside and I think outside. Yeah and Yeah. Again another kind of local event that's very much a part of who you and the future of us which is just exciting. I was really excited to be a part of it. Roxie do anything about that. You don't have I mean you guys don't have to talk on every single one. Just say no if you don't that's fine [00:27:32] just the fact that I mean our office is right next to it. We see the construction every day and we just want to see it it's going to be in there and I was never a business like student. But I our current one can have some improvements. I'm really happy that students will have that opportunity to study somewhere like that. And it's it looks great. I mean I'm excited. [00:27:55] Yeah yeah. Well moving along on February 8th we had Emily Graslie and wow what a treat she was. I mean Emily Graslie has a youtube channel called The Brain scoop and it's just the absolute YouTube sensation and she she works the brains Scroope out of the Field Museum in Chicago. One of the big natural history museums in the nation and her story from from art painter in Montana to YouTube sensation scientist who goes all over the world you know inspecting fossils and dissecting animals and everything was just amazing and her talk was titled The value of curiosity. Memories from that one. [00:28:43] Yeah for me I really liked her because when we prepared the events we only have like a couple of pictures of the speaker and I can't help just making my own opinion and just expecting some kind of personality or like the way they're going to be. And she really surprised me because she always looks so sweet in her picture. And she is really sweet but I was pleasantly so surprised, she was very confident and she's very kind of feisty and I we she was really fun and I really enjoyed her talk. And the fact that she came from a completely different background than what she's doing now I thought that was crazy and also the fact that she's on YouTube is a really cool thing because it's become a really big platform especially for my generation and students here at SUU So it was really nice to have someone who comes from there. [00:29:35] Yeah I agree. I think what really stood out to me about her aside from what she actually does for her living is that she was a painter and then just was interested in going to the museum on her campus that the museum was like a very small room like things just packed up. And she made that into a career and it was really like inspiring and I thought like I thought if I was a student I mean as a as a grown adult professional I was really inspired and it just shows how you might start out somewhere in your career or in your major. And then how it can lead into other things and how exciting and successful she was and again very articulate strong passionate woman.And we had a lot of those was exciting to be around [00:30:28] Until March really started. but let's get a guy in there. February 15th we had our day in the life series where we bring someone in to talk about what their life is like. And this was Jeff Bradybaugh who is currently the Zion National Park Superintendent. And I just thought he was a delight one really just delightful delightful person and packed event in our smaller room and we were overflow we had like project we had to have the audio in the lobby so that the overflow could hear. That was just amazing. Yeah anything to add. [00:31:05] I think so. I know a lot of teachers in the ALCC we try to bring our students over to the apex events and that was a big one for students I think because they know where Zion is they can go there and to to hear someone from Taiwan it's involved with what goes on in Zion speak and talk was really great for them as well as myself like being relatively new to southern Utah. It was just great to hear his perspective and kind of how his journey came to be at Zion and some of the things that they're looking forward in the future. So it was really really great. And I love that picture I took. [00:31:45] It was well and then moving on we'll get one more before we take our next break. We could talk all day now and this was a very special event and it may maybe some people's favorite of the season. This was our Claudia Bradshaw event. Claudia Bradshaw is just a wonderful mother figure to us all is kind of how we came out of that and her talk was titled My journey into a new world and it was really about. She is the St George P. flag founder and a real ally to our LGBTQ plus family and it was just her story and special treat that her son was able to travel here from Chicago. So I'm sure you have something to say. Yeah I loved this one too. I loved that both her son and daughter were there and got to comment on when her son came out to her and kind of that family journey that they went through. And hell being in southern Utah that was hard and some of the pushback they got. But the thing that really stood out to me about Claudia is she is all about love and and that's it. Like I think of her and I remember leaving that event and just thinking she didn't have a negative thing to say about anything or anyone. And that is remarkable. Like you I haven't come across a lot of people in my life that doesn't have something negative to say everyone's right. So yeah right. [00:33:22] So it was just amazing to be in her presence and hear her talk talk about her family's story and her son and her daughter being there and being a part of that. So that was a real treat. And I loved shooting them. They were for tugger photo photographing them I should watch my verbiage when I say shooting out the way through and then before we go to break I asked our journalist Billy Clouse our journalist and blogger and those of you who follow us on online and and look at our archive. You see his reflections every week of the event. I asked him did one event stand out to you. And if so why. And here's what he had to say. [00:34:08] A lot of really cool things that APEX had. And I remember Emily Graslie especially fun for me because she started out as a Fine Arts major and they kind of transitioned into science fulling her passions. And I think it's really cool to be involved in so many different things. But I think my favorite of all the events really had to be the keynote address given by Dr. Perry. She's such a driven person. She was so happy and fun and they couldn't stop smiling throughout the event and to her story is just so inspirational. [00:34:43] Yes so that was Billy's opinion and you heard him mention Emily and we'll definitely talk about Dr. Berry I think a little bit more but time for some more music. And I have to apologize because the last song that you heard was not thanks 4 nothing. It was actually causing trouble by Saint sister. Now you're going to hear. Thanks 4 nothing. And again just our station I.D. This is KSUU Thunder ninety one point one and you are listening to the APEX hour. [00:37:57] All right we'll I'm going to bring you back here to the apex hour because we were just talking in the studio about how much more we all have to say. So this is KSUU thunder ninety one point one. My name is Lynn Vartan and I am joined in the studio with Roxie and Katie and we're talking about APEX. We left off at the beginning of March. And from you know these last five events that we had were just amazing. March 1st was Elizabeth Churchill who is one of the directors of user experience at Google. And she talked about human interactions human computer interaction over the ages. And it's hard to say a favorite but I don't know. She was like my she's like my hero sister yes soul sister. That's totally. I wasn't expecting to connect with her on the level. I mean I'm a musician and she works at Google but man that's and that's one of my favorite of the radio shows and the podcast too. Would you guys think I was excited about her because she's one of the biggest ones. Like she's I think one of the first marginality that we got. [00:39:07] I just was a little I don't know I didn't know what to expect but she was so sweet and so I just loved how generous she was with everyone that she interacted with and for people who only go to the lecture listen to the radio may not know but we also do class visits with the speakers usually. And she came. She went to so many and she was so she just shared a lot with people and she was just willing to help and I just really liked her. I like how she interacted with students. Especially Yeah yeah. [00:39:43] Yeah I agree I got to sit in one of her classes and she just seemed really at ease and able to communicate with anybody and got students talking and it was good. It's good to hear that. [00:39:56] So true she got she. I felt like I could put her in a group of anyone and come out with some amazing thing that just happened. So that was really cool. On March 8th we had Jen Marlowe another you know somebody who I did not know at all. Both Dr. Churchill and Jen Marlowe were were ones that were brought by other faculty members to me to have as guests. And so I didn't know what to expect with Jen and she's a film maker playwright her reflections on resistance from Palestine to Darfur to death row and man was there. There was not a dry eye. There was an intensity her event needed to be to. Like she showed three different projects that she had worked on and yeah she was amazing. I think again just so great that our students have access to people like Jen and Elizabeth and all of these speakers. Yeah yeah. [00:40:58] Powerful Yeah we had are in a different venue than usual and I think we were all a little nervous about the turnout but I think it just worked perfectly for her because it was so intimate. And she was able to really connect with the audience. And yeah I talked to her afterwards and I was like I don't know how you talk about this on a daily basis and like just do this for a living. And she was just like you have to focus on the positive that comes out of it. And I think that was a really nice thing and I just really like her and I I did cry a lot. [00:41:32] Her presentation is in the archive and up and unavailable so if you want to check it out and see what we're talking about it's definitely there. Then we had kind of our final push we had spring break in there so we had a week off and then and then we moved to the end of our like power to the end and we had Susan Casey come in and wow. [00:41:54] I was so impressed with her and I love those. I have probably three images of the brains because I just was so fascinated by the brains of there were whales and dolphins dolphins and what she was talking about just the science behind that was just amazing and how passionate she was about the topic it just really was inspiring like ice and passion and you know her books are so good so good. Yes [00:42:24] She was kind of like Emily in a sense that she didn't come from you know a science background. She's a writer. But I really like the fact that she just followed what she wanted to do and just decided to live from her passion and that was really inspiring. Also my favorite shot from you is the one you took when she was book signing. [00:42:45] Her expression it's just such a perfect blend of her and how she. I mean the passion and then the innocence then let [00:42:53] It just captured exactly who she is and how I saw her love it. [00:42:58] I really appreciated to like because we were able to talk to her at the lunch and she talked a lot about her next projects and how much research goes into that and just gave you a little bit more information. Also a great podcast everybody can listen to. She was great on the radio. And then our last two which which is just barely happened we had our art students roundtable and that was just a really fun probably going to be an annual event for us. We always have a big senior art show in our museum in town. [00:43:32] And to have a few of those seniors and talking about their art and what inspires them and how they do what they do and what they want to do in the future as artists I think that was really fun. So very very much so. It's always good to hear from students when they're working on and their ideas behind their art projects and finals. So yeah. [00:43:54] And last but not least was our keynote speaker. Very very. And Mandy you know where everybody had their emotions on their sleeve. This one was just laughing and smiling the whole time. I mean and another big message of love yeah yeah yeah go ahead. [00:44:14] I just I mean the thing that really stood out amongst many things with parties was that she talked about her life in a way that was funny. And she was able to talk a laugh and get people to laugh. And I always think that presenters or comedians are really if they can look at their own life experiences and laugh and get the audience to laugh about them but not in a negative way. It's just a positive thing and she just did that the whole time and again so inspirational a great way to end a packed series. Yeah. Yeah I just yeah. [00:44:54] I thought she was great for the festival of excellence. There's one thing she said that I wrote down when you walk with purpose you collide with destiny. And I thought I was like whoa. And I just think she impersonates that and she's like the living example that you can actually do that because everywhere everyone she would talk to even after she was like working with them.. purposeful. Yeah. [00:45:17] When you walk with purpose you collide with destiny. That's definitely an amazing part. That is her mission and that's her vision statement and it absolutely works. Well speaking of quotes I asked Billy one of the questions I asked Billy was that is there something that someone said that was particularly memorable to you that you still remember now. And here's how he answered that question. [00:45:42] Anderson was talking about success. He said that you have to love the process of what you're doing because you don't always get results you necessarily want. So you really have to love what you're doing. If you like as a student especially someone studying graphic design that can happen where there's a particular project that you love but nobody else really gets that they think you should take out. And even though the end result may not be exactly what you envisioned the press is going from nothing and creating a project is really fun. And that's kind of helped me just whenever there's criticism or things don't quite go as planned. Remember the process that I love what I'm doing and that makes it better in the end. [00:46:25] That was Billy Clouse our journalist and blogger talking about something that someone said this year that really had a powerful impact on him and he was speaking about. Lemon Anderson who was our first guest in the fall talking about the process. [00:46:41] Other memories do you guys have or maybe we should say. Do you have a favorite. Could you identify or is that just too hard to do. [00:46:49] I think it's really hard to point to one specific event that stands out. I thought they all were amazing. I'm really glad that we had the 1491s I had followed them. I've been following them for years so to see them in person was amazing. And off the cuff comedy was really great. The performance ones really seem to stick out to me. Lemon there indefinitely. And then all these the spring all these spring women in particular that. And that just happened by accident. You know somebody asked me you know did you really intend to have a very female centric spraying. And I mean with everything that's going on right now you know in terms of women's rights and me too and pay equity and all of these things it actually was not intentional you know I look at as a good thing. It was just this was this this connection of this collection of topics that we wanted at this time and it just so happened that it happened to be that way with which I was happy about you know but it wasn't an intentional thing but it ended up being powerful nonetheless. [00:48:00] Do you have a favorite Roxy. [00:48:01] It's really hard. But I think my favorite still is Glen and Loire from last fall. They were just so amazing and just loved their duo and their vibe and how warm they were with everyone and all their class visits were very special and they loved sharing with student I think it was their favorite part of their trip and I just loved every single part of of their visit here. [00:48:30] I'm so glad you mentioned them because they were one of my favorites too. They were my favorite one of my faves to shoot. Yeah I listen to. Oh yeah. And you can definitely check them out in the archive. There are videos posted so feel free to have a look. I love their music. [00:48:46] I don't think I can even say a favorite because I just fell in love with everybody I think so. On that note let's play my last little song that I have for you today. This song is called Dia D and the group is Gato Preto and the album is called Tempo. This is KSUU ninety one point one [00:51:15] All right so I could totally listen to that song all day. But we've got things to say here. This is Lynn Vartan. Welcome back to the apex hour. That song that you were just listening to is called Dia D Gato Preto on the album tempo we're talking about our apx season and I want to come back with a question for Roxie and Katie. Is there just another memory or another moment that you would like to share with us. [00:51:44] I think for me and I think we touched on this a little bit already but I think my favorite part of all of APEX was just laughing and crying during the last one during her tierces just it was a very emotional experience. And I just I love laughing and I'm just I think the more laughter in my life. I think a lot of people need a lot more laughter in their life these days. And it was just great to end with with her and to just very personable. [00:52:19] Roxy [00:52:19] It's not as deep as you but this one time. So Jordan who's on tour in Southern Cal yeah he's amazing. I just loved working with him. Yeah like in general but this one time Maria Hinojosa was doing her soundcheck and she was just like very comfortable and he was putting the mic on her and she was just like oh yeah just clip it to my bra [00:52:48] And we should say Jordan is a music major does graphic design for us. And then pitches in on sound so you know putting my guess is not exactly his day to day. He's very uncomfortable and that is just really cute. His cheeks got very red. Well I also asked Billy this question and here is what he had to say throughout this season. [00:53:11] I was kind of shocked by how much fun everything was. I'm not a very outdoorsy person but I still enjoyed those events that talked about that. And I really enjoyed the arts events because that's something I'm interested in. But I feel like no matter what was going on it still was interesting because it never really went to the extreme details of whatever section that topic was on it was enough to kind of you know cover something that everyone was interested in. So even when there was detailed stuff they always made an effort to make it accessible to the entire audience which I thought was really cool. [00:53:54] All right that was Billy Clouse our journalist and blogger talking about what was a memory of the season for him. It's time for us to do our favorite part of the show and everybody loves it. What is turning you on this week so Roxy what is turning you on this week [00:54:13] For me. I love Netflix it's a little addiction of mine but [00:54:17] I think all of us have it. [00:54:19] I've been obsessed with narcos the show on Netflix. Yeah it's amazing. And I just I started it because I wanted to practice my Spanish. Yeah I'm very just interested in like the whole narco trafficking it's kind of weird but I really like that and it's just I was taken aback by how good it is and it's very high quality. The actors are really good and it's just a lot of action and passion [00:54:52] And are you all caught up to date. [00:54:54] Finished last night actually last night I. [00:54:58] Oh well we'll definitely check that out. I'm only in the first season on that one Katie. How about you. What's turning you on. [00:55:05] Well anybody who has touched me in the last two months knows I'm really into chickens right now. So we got seven chickens about a month and a half ago. And so my favorite thing in the world is at the end of the day or in the afternoon when I go home and just sitting out in the yard watching the lives of these seven little chickens and what they're doing and chasing worms and grapes and so that's so that's where my head is when I'm not here. What a beautiful way to spend the afternoon. It is nice weather. [00:55:39] That's great. Well I want to say thank you. We're out of time I want to say thank you so much to both of you to Katie who takes amazing photos for us and it's just such a great supportive part of our team. So thank you so much for being here today and for everything you've done for us. My pleasure and I love I love working with Apex. Can't wait till next season. Me too I can't wait. We'll probably have to do a teaser in the summer and then Roxy. Both of my hands not just my right hand but my right hand and my left hand and most of my brain most of the time. Thank you for being here today and for everything that you do for me. [00:56:16] It's a pleasure always to work with you I love it all. Thank you. [00:56:22] This has been the APEX hour.

Inizia Febbraio ma i giorni della merla non ci spaventano, tant'è che parliamo di ghiacciai e analisi degli stessi.Ospite della puntata Francois "Frank" Burgay che ci parla del progetto internazionale "Protecting Ice Memory" e dell'importanza che ha l'analisi delle carote di ghiaccio estratte ai poli o sui ghiacciai, per conservare una storia che rischia di andare perduta con le conseguenze dei cambiamenti climatici, come il ritiro dei ghiacciai stessi.E' molto interessante da consultare anche il sito della APECS, sia in lingua italiana sia in lingua inglese.Simone spende qualche minuto per parlare dell'ennesima polemica che lo ha investito in merito al tema delle scie chimiche: facciamo un importante distinzione tra la geoingegneria e le panzane.Infine, Andrea Villa riprende il tema della puntata precedente che lo ha visto protagonista e con alcune precisazioni parla nuovamente di tracce fossili da un punto di vista paleontologico.
