In this episode of Being Human, Dr. Chua Sook Ning is joined by Dr. Lou Cooper, Chair of the Australian Institute of Emotion Focused Therapy and host of the Emotion Focused Podcast. Navigating our emotional world is rarely straightforward. Lou shares how the way we respond to feelings – whether by suppressing, managing, or exploring them – is shaped not only by our personal histories, but also by our cultural context. The conversation highlights how easily we can bypass emotional signals, especially in cultures where emotional expression is discouraged or misunderstood.Lou also invites us to consider what happens when we ignore or avoid our emotions: we lose access to vital information about how we're really doing, what matters to us, and what we might need to change. __To learn more about Relate Malaysia and its services visit www.relate.com.my

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, over 2 million Australians are living with osteoarthritis — a condition that results from the degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, particularly in the knees, hips, hands, and feet. But is osteoarthritis simply a result of 'wear and tear'? And more importantly, what can be done about it? On this edition, we'll explore not only what causes knee osteoarthritis, but also hear about a range of treatment and management options available — that can help people maintain their mobility and quality of life. Associate Professor Christina Abdel Shaheed is a National Health and Medical Research Council Principal Research Fellow at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, School of Public Health, University of Sydney.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The question of living well is a big one. What does it actually mean? For Eva-Marie Prineas, home is where the heart is, and the way a home is planned has the most impact in how it feels to inhabit when it’s complete. Prineas founded her eponymous architecture practice in 2004. Perhaps unsurprising considering she would sit in the back yard of her family home in suburban Sydney and sketch the roofline. Her background and passion for heritage conservation and environmentally low-impact design form the basis of her work, and led her practice to win the Australian Institute of Architects ‘Best in Practice Prize in 2024. Listen in as Vince and Eva-Marie discuss drawing Sydney’s heritage Finger Wharf to scale by hand as a graduate, what it means to be a B Corp Certified architecture practice and how everything she designs stems from place.

Un escuchante me preguntó por los suplementos que cuentan con evidencia de tipo A. Más recientemente, otro me preguntó por la beta-alanina en particular. Vamos a emplear este episodio para responder a los dos. Primero repasaremos el listado de suplementos respaldados por evidencia de tipo A según el Australian Institute of Sports. Veremos que la beta-alanina es uno de ellos. Pero, claro, habrá que profundizar más y dilucidar en qué tipo de esfuerzos (10min) funciona, o no, la beta-alanina en cuestión.

In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Lana Tikhomirov about the intersection of AI and human decision-making, exploring its ethical concerns, cognitive challenges, and growing role in high-stakes fields like healthcare. Lana Tikhomirov is an AI safety researcher at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, where she focuses on developing ethical, human-centered artificial intelligence systems for medical decision-making. Her interdisciplinary PhD bridges cognitive science, bioethics, and AI safety, examining a core question: How do humans make decisions using AI algorithms—and where should we draw the ethical line when replacing human judgment with machine logic? Lana’s work addresses the nuanced challenges that emerge when advanced deep learning systems—often opaque and difficult to interpret—are integrated into high-risk, real-world environments. As these technologies become increasingly common in critical domains, understanding their influence on human cognition and decision-making has never been more urgent. She is committed to advancing responsible and safe AI, and her research contributes to national policy and ethical guidelines for AI development and implementation in Australia.

Climate risk is no longer a distant concern—it’s already shaping how banks, insurers, and homeowners approach property. In this episode, we sit down with Philip Tapsell from XDI Systems, part of the Climate Risk Group, to explore how climate-related risks are being measured and factored into financial decisions. How close are banks to pricing in climate risk with mortgages? What happens when certain areas become uninsurable? And what can property owners do to safeguard their investments? Philip breaks down the growing impact of extreme weather on property values and highlights the information gap between financial institutions and everyday buyers. We discuss the challenges of outdated flood maps, the shifting approach to risk assessment, and whether institutions are doing enough to prepare for future disasters. We also touch on how other countries are responding—some taking proactive steps, others simply waiting for someone else to move first. If you’re a property owner or buyer, this conversation is a must-listen to understand what climate risk means for your biggest asset.

In this bonus episode Nick talks to Jeff Chatfield. Jeff serves as the Executive Chairman of Avation PLC and played a pivotal role in its founding and development. Throughout his career, he has held management and directorial positions in various companies across sectors such as the airline industry, data distribution, electronics, investment, broadcasting, and manufacturing. He holds both a Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Engineering Science from the University of Western Australia. Additionally, he is a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Fellow of the Singapore Institute of Directors. Nick and Jeff discus the company's recent half-year results and market position. Jeff highlights Avation's strong financial performance, including increased revenue and reduced net debt. He also discusses the company's aircraft leasing portfolio, noting a recent acquisition of an Etihad-operated Airbus A320. Despite these positive results, Avation's share price remains undervalued at 50% of net asset value (NAV), which Jeff attributes to investor unfamiliarity with the aircraft leasing sector and the company's London Stock Exchange listing. He suggests that moving to a higher-tier market segment could help attract more investors.The conversation also touches on Avation's debt structure and potential refinancing opportunities. Jeff explains that a $330 million bond maturing in 2026 could be refinanced as early as 2025, potentially lowering interest costs and improving cash flow. He emphasizes the importance of dividends to investors and notes strong shareholder support for past dividend payouts. Looking ahead, Avation aims to continue growing its fleet and improving shareholder value, with strategies such as increasing investor engagement and possibly integrating with a larger leasing business for better financing terms.

Coral are tough clients, as Pirjo Haikola knows well. The Finnish designer is renowned for her work on coral reef conservation and ocean biodiversity. Now based at the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Townsville, North Queensland, right by the Great Barrier Reef, Pirjo is also a skilled diver. Spending significant time observing and documenting marine life firsthand has given her a unique perspective on the delicate dynamics of ocean ecosystems, and allows her to ground her designs in the realities of the underwater environment, ensuring they are not only innovative but also ecologically sensitive and impactful.In this episode of Design Emergency, Pirjo discusses with Paola several of her projects, which integrate scientific research with creative methodologies and advanced manufacturing techniques to develop practical, design-driven solutions to the urgent challenges posed by climate change. Whether it's developing tools for coral propagation in Australia or Mexico, studying the sea urchin population off the coast near Melbourne, or exploring sustainable materials inspired by marine ecosystems, her work celebrates design and demostrates what it can do in service of the planet.You can find images related to Pirjo's work on our Instagram grid @design.emergency.

We are coming at you with our very first live episode from Perth, Australia! Here at the 2024 Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists Annual Scientific Conference and Exhibition, occupational hazards and exposures get top billing. And one of the most ubiquitous hazards, experienced by nearly every industry is fatigue, specifically fatigue caused by circadian rhythm disruption. In this very special episode, we explore how our circadian rhythms work and some of the consequences that can emerge when we work against those rhythms, whether that's because we're traveling across many time zones or switching to night shift work. We then dig into the history of circadian rhythm research, from how we first learned about these daily patterns to when their disruption became a routine occurrence. Helping us to navigate some of the alarmist headlines (“your screens are ruining your sleep!”) and biohacker claims (“avoid jet lag with this one simple trick!”) is Ian Dunican, PhD. Dr. Dunican is the Director and Chief Adviser of Melius Consulting, a scientific consultancy undertaking research, consulting, and education, and he also hosts and produces the Sleep4Performance podcast. We also bring on Dr. John Iliff, Emergency Physician and Aeromedical Consultant to share his frightening experience with fatigue after a long shift during his training as a physician.

In this episode of the Technology & Security podcast, host Dr. Miah Hammond-Errey is joined by Dr Thom Dixon, whose work explores biofutures and the bioeconomy. We explore what synthetic biology and bioinformation are and how much of an individual person's information signature is biological. We discuss how AI can learn from biomimicry and adaptive natural biological systems. We explore the future of surveillance plants and how sensing in the environment will operate and what it might mean for national and physical security as well as how a future consumer synthetic biology app will accelerate the fields growth and reach.The conversation covers Australian biodiversity and potential for functionally useful genetic traits to adapt to climate change as well as role of synthetic biology in climate adaptation and accounting, such as carbon cycling and increasing carbon uptake. This episode includes a quick look at some security threats, including the pervasiveness of DNA data collection (and inability to protect DNA instances), role of AI in mediating information and its potential in influence and interference campaigns. Finally, we discuss the need for policy makers to better understand biology. As we see an increase in cyber-physical (and environmental) systems, policy makers need to improve their understanding of biology and how it interacts with technology.  Thom Dixon completed his PhD at Macquarie University. It explores the development of and use of bioinformation and synthetic biology can impact international relations. He was the Vice President for the Australian Institute of International Affairs NSW. He is a member of the ARC Centre for Excellence for Synthetic Biology and the manager, national security and defence for Macquarie University. Resources mentioned in the recording: + Model's of Life: https://defencescienceinstitute.com/funding-opportunity/darpa-biological-technologies-hr001124s0034/+ The Substack: https://biofuturesinstantiated.substack.com/ This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Gadigal people, and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Dr Gareth Sandford has a consulting business that helps Olympic, Pro & College coaches with individualized conditioning. Recent consulting clients include: Manchester City Football Club (EPL), England Football Association (International Football), Australian Institute of Sport (Olympic/Paralympic Sport), Melbourne Football Club (AFL), Kerry GAA (Gaelic Football). Prior to this, Gareth has worked for 14+ years across individual and team sports within three Olympic and Paralympic systems (UK, New Zealand and Canada) and three professional sports leagues (English Football, Cricket and Rugby), supporting over 450 athletes that achieved 23 Olympic, Paralympic and World Championship medals, and one world record. He was also scientific lead for the Canadian Olympic marathon and race-walk athletes at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games. He holds a PhD in sport physiology and running performance from the Sport Performance Research Institute at AUT University in New Zealand and a ‘mini' MBA from Simon Fraser University in science innovation and technology commercialisation. QUOTES “There are a number of things that we should be looking for. The first thing is the athlete profile. So that is where all your sub-disciplines come in, from a medical standpoint, what are we talking about? From a biomechanical, psychological standpoint, which type of personality are we dealing with? From a physiological standpoint, are we talking about a speed profile, hybrid or endurance profile?” “So a common question you hear often is should conditioning be more sport specific or should it be more targeting the physical capacities underpinning the sport? But the reality of the matter is that physiology exists, whichever sport you're playing.” “It is a very rare occasion in a team sport where you are short on the sport-specific exposure of chemistry” “Sprinting speed is scaffolding for team sports. We can't build it and then let it go, because if we let it go, then the percentage we're working at when running goes up” “The three metrics alongside team sport key training metrics I'm looking at are where's the sprinting speed? where's the MAS? where's the critical speed?” “Athletes need to be exposed to all the stimulus, from low intensity to sprinting speed, probably for 18 months, two years at the low end, for us to be confident, this is the type of profile an athlete is.” “The key metric for low and moderate intensity work is the effort, the internal effort, not the external speed and the answer is whatever speed elicits a five or six out of 10 feeling” SHOWNOTES 1) Gareth's exploration of the anaerobic speed reserve which has taken him from the UK to NZ to Canada 2) The framework for conditioning and importance of athlete profiling 3) The relevance of middle-distance track events and their training for field sports 4) Getting a clear characterization of what is happening in technical-tactical training sessions and unlearning “classical” physiology 5) Assessing the anaerobic speed reserve in athletes and the practical application of profiling 6) The interplay between critical speed and maximal aerobic speed or velocity VO2max and Gareth's preferences for measuring both 7) How to use the ASR ratio as a screen of “spread” and benchmarking sprint and endurance physiology 8) Principles versus models and the value of holding principles as loosely as possible until you understand exactly what type of athlete you are dealing with PEOPLE MENTIONED Peter Weyand Phil Bellinger Veronica Billat Phil Scott

Welcome to Episode #172 of The Coaching Podcast! This week, we're thrilled to be joined by Toby Jenkins, a dynamic executive coach, speaker, Olympian, and entrepreneur with a mission: to change the world's relationship with suffering. Toby's journey has taken him from the Olympic pool to the boardroom, where he's helped shape the mental resilience of everyone from military elites to tech founders. In our conversation, we explore the transformative power of psychological flexibility, discuss what it means to shift from 'harder, tougher, stronger' to a mindset of alignment, and dive into the nuances of performance behavior and acceptance commitment therapy. Get ready for an episode packed with deep insights and powerful tools to elevate your coaching approach. 1.45: What position in AFL would you like to play? 2.28: How did you discover water polo and what's your first early memory of a coach? 4.58: What was your experience of mental toughness as it relates to being an Olympian? Inspired by the awesome foursome and specifically Mike McKay (spelling) who had written on the bottom of the boat: Who – If not me, who? Now – If not now, when? Goal – Gold medal 8.21: Stoic Philosophy (Choice of Response) - The only control we have is the choices that we make. “If we can't control our reaction, how do we choose our response.” 9.05: Psychological Flexibility “As an Olympian – I thought I needed to be harder, tougher, stronger.” How can we help people rather than run through brick walls, instead, how do we help them become trampolines? This is the core shift in perspective of the performance mindset. “Buddha said that life is suffering and I tend to agree!” So how do we open up to that, acknowledge that, and still experience the joy? 11.35: What would you say to the coach who has had success with the ‘harder, tougher, stronger' approach? It's one tool in the coaching toolkit. It's not the absence of one, it's the presence of both. 13.26: Defining Psychological Flexibility as your ability to shift your attention. Derived from ACT which stands for: Acceptance Commitment Therapy Open up, be present, and do what matters because performance behavior is contextual. 15.32: Performance Behavior is defined as doing the thing that is less comfortable. ACT talks about moving towards behavior (short-term pain) and not positive and negative behavior. 18.36: Insights on balance (trade-offs) versus alignment (compounding)? 21.07: Key lesson - The most important work is never done (they are a set of practices). 24.01: Time Management - It is a non-renewable resource. 28.19: Sacrifice versus choice. 31.37: What makes a great coach? 1) Questions - "What if this was the last time?" 33.11: Disruptive coaching idea that will change the way we coach in 2030? AI may provide a coach for people in their pocket to accelerate the development of humans. 35.22: Toby's purpose: To change the world's relationship with suffering. 41.08: Crucible moment To learn more about becoming a workplace coach or advancing your coaching skills, visit: www.coachem.cc or email: info@emmadoyle.com.au About Toby Jenkins Toby is a husband, father, Olympian, executive coach, award-winning entrepreneur, and author.

Dental care in Australia is largely privatised and nearly always expensive. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, almost one in five adults delay or don't see a dentist due to cost. For those who can access the public system, staff are often overstretched and the long wait times mean crucial appointments come far too late. Guardian Australia health reporter Natasha May speaks to Reged Ahmed about how the perfect smile is a privilege increasingly available only to the wealthy.

This week, I'm thrilled to have the brilliant Dr. Shona Halson join me. Shona is an expert in athlete recovery and a former Senior Physiologist at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), where she spent over 15 years researching and shaping the field of athlete recovery. She has worked with elite athletes, including the Australian Olympic team, to optimize their performance through evidence-based recovery strategies. In this episode, we dive deep into the science of recovery—what actually works, the myths that still exist, and how the elite get it right (or wrong). Whether you're an athlete, coach, or sports science enthusiast, you'll want to hear Shona's insights on sleep, fatigue management, and recovery technologies that are reshaping the way athletes train and perform. Join us as we explore the crucial role recovery plays in achieving success and what the latest research is telling us about how to help athletes recover smarter, not harder.  Find more on Shona here: Shona Halson | ACU Researcher Read more on her current research here: SPRINT Research Centre (acu.edu.au) Find her on social media here (5) Shona Halson (@ShonaHalson) / X   Use code APPLIED for 50% off all Supporting Champions Courses https://www.supportingchampions.co.uk/onlinecourse/   #recovery #myths #olympics #podcast

I'm delighted to speak with Dr Derek Panchuk this week. Derek is a skill acquisition specialist with over 15 years experience working with coaches across sport, including: the NBA, G-League, a wide-range of National Sporting Organisations, regional and community level organisations, and clubs. Derek helps coaches and leaders build bridges between the science of learning and art of coaching so they can discover new ways to grow talent and build teams. Derek completed his MSc in Motor Control and his PhD in Neuromotor Control at The University of Calgary. After completing his studies, Derek moved to Australia and was the first ever National Lead for skill acquisition at the Australian Institute of Sport. Here he worked closely with coaches to design individualised learning environments that aligned with their coaching philosophies and goals.  Derek now consults, working closely with coaches to transform how they coach and develop players. He uses an individualised approach to coach development grounded in the science of skill learning that helps coaches discover their strengths and uncover new opportunities so they can improve buy-in and have a big impact with their players. 

My motivational quote for today is by – Joshua J. Marine, “Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful” - Joshua J. Marine. I have learned that no one escapes tragedy or challenges in life.  There is no such thing as a perfect life or situation. That's life, filled with ups and downs!    Getting up, dusting off, and moving forward is the only control or approach we need to grow, learn, and, yes, even be happy.  Life can't be avoided unless you live in a cave, so how do we navigate difficult times? We need tools and strategies to help us get back up and move forward stronger, wiser, and more blessed.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/Er9SscxwNr8   About Julianne Mclean: Julianne is passionate about advocating for mental health and mental health research.
