Aujourd'hui, j'accueille Florence Servan-Schreiber, pour un épisode qui je l'espère, va vous faire kiffer !Avec ses livres “3 kifs par jour” ou “Power patate” et plein d'autres activités dont on va parler ensemble dans cet épisode, Florence a fait du bonheur son terrain d'expérimentation.A l'occasion de la Semaine de la Santé Mentale, nous allons voir de ce qui se cache derrière ces moments de bonheur. Parce que parfois, avant d'en arriver aux kiffs, il y a aussi des tempêtes à traverser. Nous allons découvrir son parcours entre son exil forcé en Californie à 19 ans, sa découverte de la psychologie transpersonnelle et son parcours en entreprise. Un parcours atypique qui n'a qu'un seul moteur : l'envie de défricher, de découvrir le nouveau - même en psychologie - et de le transmettre.Bienvenue dans un épisode à la fois lumineux, inspirant et intimiste.Aujourd'hui, avec Florence, nous allons parler de l'art de se faire un prénom, de ridologie (et ce n'est peut-être pas ce que vous pensez!) et de cultiver la fantaisie au quotidien.Quelques notes sur l'épisode :Le site de Florence : www.florenceservanschreiber.comLivre : “Mange Prie Aime” de Elizabeth GilbertRituel : méditer dès le réveil au litRETRANSCRIPTION DE L'EPISODE AVEC FLORENCE SERVAN-SCHREIBER00:02:14 Bonjour Florence, merci de me recevoir chez vous à Paris. Bonjour tout le monde. Merci d'être là dans La Petite Voix. J'ai souhaité vous rencontrer pour une occasion particulière, puisque c'est la semaine de la santé mentale, et il me sembla que vous étiez la parfaite interlocutrice pour en parler. Je vous explique un peu ma démarche. En fait, pour moi, vous avez deux casquettes qui sont intéressantes par rapport à ce sujet-là. C'est que d'un côté, vous avez une formation en psychologie transpersonnelle, en PNL, en psychologie positive, donc quelque chose pour moi. D'académique, mais en même temps, et c'est ce que j'aime chez vous, et c'est pour ça que je vous suis, c'est que vous avez une approche très décomplexante par rapport à ça. Plutôt fun, puisque vous êtes la mère des trois kiffes par jour, du power patate.00:02:56 Et donc, vous savez, nous amener ces sujets-là de santé mentale de manière assez fun. Donc voilà, voilà pourquoi je suis contente de vous recevoir aujourd'hui. Du coup, je suis obligée de commencer par cette question-là. Florence, c'était quoi votre dernier kiff ? Mon dernier kiff, quelque chose pour lequel je me souviens, j'ai ressenti beaucoup de choses, c'est la sortie d'une série qui s'appelle La Maison sur Apple TV+, qui a été produite par mon mari. Il y a des kiffes transitifs, c'est-à-dire que quelqu'un peut vivre quelque chose, et ça nous fait de l'effet, ça m'a fait beaucoup d'effet pour lui, pour tous ces gens qui ont travaillé là-dessus. J'aime la création, j'aime cet homme aussi, je vois la difficulté qu'il a traversée. J'éprouve beaucoup de gratitude parce que la série, le produit est magnifique, donc ça m'épathe.00:03:42 Ah, c'est beau. On va parler de vous, Florence, et de votre parcours. J'ai lu qu'à seulement 19 ans, vous avez eu envie de partir. Il y a deux choses intéressantes. Non seulement vous êtes partie en Californie, mais pour y faire des études de psychologie. Pourquoi ces deux choix-là ? Vous voulez la vérité ? S'il vous plaît, on est là entre nous. J'ai été exilée par mes parents. J'étais une adolescente bien trop turbulente et tourmentée, il n'en pouvait plus. Donc ils ont décidé de m'expédier en Californie. Je suis partie pour faire des études de cinéma, parce que ça, ça m'intéressait, ça avait l'air vivant, c'était un métier debout, c'était de l'image de la création. Et arrivée en Californie, je suis tombée sur et dans tout le mouvement du développement personnel, de la connaissance de soi, de ce vocabulaire qu'ont les Californiens pour décrire ce qui se passe à l'intérieur d'eux, décrire ce qui se passe autour d'eux.00:04:38 Et c'était en fait l'univers qui m'attendait. C'est-à-dire que c'est ça dont j'avais besoin probablement à titre personnel. J'ai trouvé ça fantastique, et étant une adolescente tourmentée, parce que c'est ce que j'étais, de me dire : 'Ah, mais en fait, ça peut s'arranger.' Et si seulement j'avais su ça plus tôt. Voilà, et c'est comme ça que j'ai changé complètement la direction de mes études, et que depuis, je me consacre à ça. Donc le départ était un peu forcé, mais finalement, c'était un cadeau que vos parents vous ont fait. Le départ était accidentel. Si on regarde, beaucoup de nos départs sont accidentels. Enfin, on tombe sur des gens, on croise des choses. Je suis persuadée que nous avons toutes et tous un radar, qui est notre radar, et qui va fonctionner où que l'on nous mette.00:05:26 Je suis obligée de revenir sur ce moment où vous me dites que vous étiez une adolescente tourmentée. Qu'est-ce qui tourmentait l'adolescente que vous étiez ? Absolument tout. La définition de moi-même, la séparation de mes parents, les exigences familiales, la difficulté à savoir ce que je voulais faire dans la vie, comment on se fait des petits copains, tout, je ne sais pas. L'adolescence ? La vie, les études, mon Dieu, les études. Vraiment, je n'aimais pas l'école. Passer son bac, ce n'est pas facile. C'est un moment vraiment de mue qui est plein de problèmes. Et vous soulignez aussi un point, vous le survolez, mais j'imagine que ça faisait partie des sujets. Vous venez d'une illustre famille. Et avec un nom très beau, mais peut-être parfois difficile à porter quand on est cette adolescente et qu'il faut prendre la relève de votre père, de vos oncles, de vos tantes.00:06:18 Vous savez, c'est comme si vous dites à un poisson « Mais comment tu fais pour nager dans l'eau ? » Le poisson, il vit dans l'eau. Mais si vous voulez savoir, en effet, dans une famille comme la mienne, l'enjeu est plutôt de maintenir son prénom. Donc, ça a des avantages et ça a des inconvénients. Bien sûr. Au collège, c'est horrible. C'est horrible quand tout le monde connaît votre nom parce qu'il y a tout le monde se moque de vous pour des raisons complètement extérieures à vous-même. Et puis ensuite, si je prends, comme j'ai depuis écrit des livres, c'est vrai que dans ma famille, c'est pas tant « Est-ce que tu vas écrire un livre ? » mais c'est « Sur quoi vas-tu écrire un livre ? ». C'est ça.00:06:57 Mais chez les cordonniers, ce sera les réparations de chaussures. Donc, il y a des avantages et des inconvénients, mais absolument comme dans toutes les familles, sauf que ça se voit un petit peu de l'extérieur. Il faut se faire un prénom, en fait, puisque le nom est déjà bien installé. Il ne faut rien, mais c'est le job possible. Donc, c'est ce que vous avez commencé à faire à 19 ans en Californie. Soudain, le fonctionnement de l'être humain, j'ai trouvé ça incroyable. J'ai trouvé passionnant de voir comment un enfant devient un adolescent, devient un adulte, comment on meurt. Parce que j'ai fait des études de psychologie transpersonnelle. Donc, on alliait de la spiritualité, avec la psychologie clinique. Donc, on traitait absolument de tous les sujets, de deuil, de la mort.00:07:45 Ce n'était vraiment pas très classique. Je ne me destinais pas non plus à être thérapeute, mais je suis intéressée, je reste profondément, profondément intéressée par nos mécanismes. Combien de temps ont duré ces études en Californie ? Ça dure quatre ans ? Non, vraiment, la chance a voulu que, en effet, je rencontre tout ça. Et puis, c'est un moment, c'est un endroit du monde qui m'inspire profondément. Nous y avons vécu en famille lorsque j'avais sept ans. Et je crois qu'il y a quelque chose. Donc, j'éprouve là-bas une liberté que je ne ressens pas ici. Et donc, quand je l'ai retrouvé en partant faire ces études, par ailleurs, il y avait aussi cet univers totalement contemporain de la psychologie. Et c'est ça qui m'a plu.00:08:30 J'ai une bêtise si je dis que c'est tout le mouvement Palo Alto qui vient de Californie ? Alors, Palo Alto, c'était plutôt dans les années 60. Mais en effet, vous parliez de Palo Alto, de PNL tout à l'heure. Je me suis formée à la PNL à Palo Alto en étant l'esclave d'une femme qui s'appelait Ginny Laborde et qui était formatrice en PNL, qui elle-même avait été formée par Grinder, John Grinder, qui était le fondateur, l'inventeur et Bandler, qui étaient les deux fondateurs de la PNL. Donc, oui, c'est géographiquement à Palo Alto. Mais l'école de Palo Alto, c'est quelque chose de très précis que j'ai plutôt appris à l'université. C'est vraiment comme un creuset là-bas. Et il y a encore, j'en reviens, j'y étais cet été, il y a encore cet esprit très particulier.00:09:19 C'est comme si on s'occupait de son âme, en fait. Donc, il y a quand même effectivement cette dimension très spirituelle à laquelle on est peu habitué en psychologie classique, j'ai envie de dire. Spirituelle et pragmatique. Joli mariage. Les Américains sont très pragmatiques. C'est pour ça qu'ils parlent beaucoup plus facilement de leurs mécaniques intérieures et de leurs émotions que nous ne savons le faire dans notre culture qui est très tenue, et j'appartiens à cette culture très tenue. Donc, quand je vais là-bas, ça me permet d'ouvrir des petits portillons qui font que l'air est plus chaud et que ça passe mieux. Il y a comme une partie de vous qui vit là-bas. C'est ce que j'entends, la manière dont vous l'abordez. Il y a absolument une partie de moi qui se définit là-bas.00:10:02 Tout à fait. De toute façon, je suis plein de gens à l'intérieur de moi. Mais la flow californienne, clairement, est très, très présente chez moi. Et là, malgré tout, je reviens à vos études. Au terme des quatre années d'études, vous avez votre diplôme en psychologie transpersonnelle. La PNL, c'est à la même époque, je crois ? Oui, parce que pendant mes études, je travaille pour Ginny Laborde. Donc, si on résume l'affaire, quand même, peu de ce dont je me sers dans ma vie professionnelle a été appris à l'école. C'est sur le terrain, c'est dans cette expérience avec Ginny Laborde que j'ai vraiment fait l'expérience de la PNL. Que j'ai fait l'expérience de la formation, que j'ai découvert ce plaisir énorme que j'ai à transmettre les choses et à manier des pédagogies.00:10:46 Personne ne m'a appris ça à l'école ou à l'université. Première question, pourquoi vous faites le choix de rentrer en France au bout des quatre années ? Parce que j'avais un petit copain à Paris. Ah, c'est une excellente raison. Donc, vous rentrez et là, vous ne faites pas le choix de vous lancer comme thérapeute. Pas du tout. Quand je rentre à Paris, la PNL n'existe quasiment pas et donc je commence par créer des premiers séminaires de PNL pour un institut de formation et puis, en fait, être thérapeute, pour moi, n'est pas du tout une valeur ajoutée que je peux apporter. Pour plein de raisons, je mémorise très, très mal les choses. Donc, l'idée de ne pas me souvenir du nom du chat ou de la sœur ou de la mère d'un patient, ça me terrifie avant même d'avoir commencé.00:11:34 Et l'autre chose, c'est que je sais maintenant que j'ai un trouble de l'attention assez manifeste et ça demande beaucoup d'attention et ça demande beaucoup de présence physique. C'est-à-dire que pour moi, il y a deux métiers qui sont vraiment géographiques. C'est tenir une boutique et être thérapeute. On est dans le même endroit et ça ne m'est pas accessible parce que j'ai trop la bougeotte. D'ailleurs, je trouve que ça vous définit bien cette notion de bougeotte parce que quand j'ai voulu préparer notre entretien, j'ai l'impression qu'il n'y a pas d'étiquette. On ne peut pas vous mettre d'étiquette. Donc, on le voit dans votre parcours. Vous faites ces études-là en psychologie, mais finalement, assez vite, vous allez être très présente dans le monde de l'entreprise. Alors, comme vous l'expliquez à travers de la transmission, de la PNL, etc.00:12:19 Mais vous êtes aussi beaucoup dans ce monde-là de l'entreprise. Je fais vraiment mes premières armes professionnelles en travaillant avec les auteurs d'un livre. Tout ça, c'était dans les années 80. Les années 80, c'était La Gagne, c'était Bernard Tapie, etc. Donc, c'est à ce moment-là que je suis rentrée en France. Je travaillais sur, je faisais de la formation à la qualité de service, c'est-à-dire que c'est vraiment le moment où Darty a développé son service après-vente. Enfin, toutes les marques commençaient à parler de ça. Et donc, nous faisions pareil, mes associés rentraient également des États-Unis. Donc, nous étions empreints de cette culture du client dont on s'occupe. Et c'était assez nouveau dans la fin des années 80. Et donc, j'ai fait ça et j'ai fait ça pendant une petite dizaine d'années.00:13:00 Donc, je connais très, très, très bien le monde de l'entreprise. Vous étiez heureuse dans ce monde de l'entreprise, justement. Oui, parce que j'enseignais un sujet qui était nouveau. Ce que je retrouve, cette image de la Californie, en fait, me va très bien parce que c'est le Far West. Et je n'aime que le Far West, c'est-à-dire que je n'aime que les idées qui ne sont pas encore complètement intégrées, parce que je les débusque, parce qu'elles m'intéressent, parce qu'elles me plaisent. Et comme je suis assez joyeux, les bons tuyaux, si j'ai découvert quelque chose, je vais vous dire. Mais est-ce que tu sais que et toute mon histoire, franchement, si je regarde maintenant, parce que maintenant, je peux regarder derrière, j'ai passé suffisamment de temps à vivre pour voir que c'est vraiment le moteur de tout ce que je fais.00:13:48 C'est... Et trois petits points... À ce moment-là, je vais vous raconter la dernière chose que j'ai apprise. Donc, je passe mon temps à aller apprendre des choses pour pouvoir vous dire, est-ce que tu sais que ? Et puis, et c'est comme ça que je partage ça. C'est ça, parce que du coup, il y a la notion d'innovation. Effectivement, que je m'étais noté à essayer de défricher, en fait, des nouveaux terrains. Mais derrière ça, vous avez ce besoin de transmettre, en fait. Une fois que j'ai découvert quelque chose, c'est en effet le premier réflexe qui me vient. Je ne sais pas si vous avez vu que dans un moment, dans ma vie professionnelle, j'ai été ridologue. Alors, ridologue, c'est non pas spécialiste des rides, mais spécialiste des rideaux.00:14:28 J'ai dû apprendre à faire des rideaux parce que je m'installais et que j'avais des fenêtres sans rideaux et qu'on n'arrivait pas à dormir. Donc, je suis allée apprendre à faire des rideaux. C'était dans un moment professionnel de burn-out total. C'est juste après cette période de qualité de service. Vous l'avez terminé sur un burn-out ? Je l'ai terminé sur un burn-out, un baby blues et un deuxième enfant. Ça commence à faire beaucoup, pour la même personne. C'était concomitant. C'était l'enfant de ma fille, qui est mon deuxième enfant. Je me suis rendu compte qu'elle était une fille, je ne savais pas quelle valeur féminine j'allais pouvoir lui transmettre. Donc, votre aîné était un garçon. Oui, c'était OK. La question, la question ne s'est pas posée. J'étais alors là, la naissance d'Arthur a rebattu énormément de cartes.00:15:18 J'en ai même fait un livre qui s'appelle Avant, je n'étais que moi parce qu'il n'y a pas plus grand séisme dans la définition de qui on est, de comment on fait. Il n'y a rien de plus grand que ça. Donc ça, c'est Arthur. Arthur a ouvert la voie. C'est comme le pisteur avec ses explosifs. Il fait exploser le truc. L'aventure se déclenche, mais je continue comme ça à travailler. Et puis, quand enceinte de Pénélope, quand même, mine de rien, la maternité d'Arthur a ébréché énormément de choses chez moi. Et c'est au moment où je suis enceinte de Pénélope que je commence à paniquer. Jusqu'à là, j'ai essayé de tenir le truc à peu près. Et surtout, vraiment avec cette histoire, il y a vraiment cette sorte de féminité, d'identité féminine qui était importante à ce moment-là.00:16:03 Pour moi, je travaillais avec des mecs dans cet univers de l'entreprise extrêmement masculin. Mes parents m'ont élevée de façon féministe. En me disant les garçons et les filles, c'est pareil. Et puis, quand même, avec mon Arthur et puis bientôt ma Pénélope. Non, les garçons et les filles, c'est pas pareil. Et je ne savais pas dire en quoi ce n'était pas pareil, mais je voyais bien que ce n'était pas pareil. Et j'avais besoin de comprendre. Enfin, je ne savais pas. Bref, de toute façon, je ne comprenais rien. J'étais au plus mal et j'étais au fond du seau. On appelle ça des burn-out, mais à cette époque-là, ça s'appelait encore une dépression. C'est ça. D'accord, une gentille dépression et que je soigne et donc que je soigne par des médicaments, par des thérapies, enfin par tout ce type de thérapie.00:16:42 Vous avez une psychothérapie très classique. Et à partir de là, c'est là qu'arrivent les rideaux. Puisque j'ai besoin de rideaux, j'apprends à faire des rideaux et je suis totalement emballée par ce que je viens d'apprendre, mais totalement. Et en fait, j'ai plein d'idées que je ne vois pas dans le commerce. En fait, des têtes de rideaux, des formes de rideaux, des compositions de rideaux. Assez rapidement, je deviens rideologue, c'est-à-dire que j'organise des ateliers chez moi où les gens viennent fabriquer leur paire de rideaux. Donc, on arrive le samedi matin, j'ai des rouleaux de tissu et j'avais une batterie comme ça de machine à coudre et on repartait le dimanche soir avec sa paire de rideaux. Et en fait, ce qu'on venait faire là, c'était ce truc, cette phrase que j'adore, que j'adore, que j'adore, qui est c'est moi qui l'ai fait.00:17:32 Et donc, sous couvert de faire un rideau, il y avait quelque chose, c'était un travail manuel, collectif, sympathique. On faisait ça ensemble. Et surtout, ça provoque de la fierté, ça provoque de la surprise. Ça, c'était en fait un atelier de développement personnel. Oui, voilà, j'allais y venir. Qui passait par un loisir créatif. C'est ça, la réideologie. Vous êtes sorti de cette dépression et de ce burn-out à l'époque. OK. Sauf que vous n'avez pas cru. Plus que ça, puisque vous êtes reparti en entreprise. Ah non, ça a duré. C'est quand même une affaire qui a duré six ans. Ah pardon, OK. Non, non, c'était une vraie, une vraie phase dans ma vie. Mais ce qui s'est passé pendant ce temps-là, c'est que tout ça m'a amené à 1999 où est arrivé Internet.00:18:21 Et pour quelqu'un comme moi, c'est irrésistible, évidemment. Et d'abord avoir d'ailleurs travaillé avec ces rideaux, de réfléchir en deux dimensions, etc., j'avais quand même besoin au bout de toutes ces années de retrouver un métier un peu plus intellectuel parce que j'avais complètement basculé dans un travail manuel. Et quand aujourd'hui je me dis j'avais une quête de ma féminité, ce n'était pas ma féminité que je cherchais tant que ma frivolité. Et j'avais besoin d'exprimer ma fantaisie dans mes histoires de qualité de service. Alors, c'est quand même moi qui arrivais, mais je me déguisais encore. J'avais des tailleurs. J'étais habillée comme on était habillé dans les années 80 pour aller dans les entreprises. J'avais besoin de libérer tout ça. Je vis dans un monde intérieur qui est extrêmement coloré et j'ai appris à le libérer.00:19:16 Chaque décennie m'a permis de libérer un peu plus encore ce monde intérieur. C'est beau, mais par contre, vous le dites, l'appel irrésistible de ce phénomène qui était génial à vivre à la fin des années 90, c'est Internet. C'était surtout ce qu'on peut faire avec Internet. Je suis néophile. Les nouveautés me plaisent. Je suis née dans les années 60. C'était une décennie de nouveautés absolues. La décennie où on a marché sur la Lune, on a été réveillé enfant. J'ai vu ce moment-là, donc je pense que c'est un fusée aussi. Donc, quand Internet est arrivé, je n'ai pas pu résister. Et puis, surtout, c'était un moment où on pouvait se déclarer absolument n'importe quoi. Et ça, c'est ma spécialité. Donc, quand on m'a demandé, parce que tout le monde voulait créer des sites Internet et personne n'a été formé puisque personne n'y avait travaillé.00:20:07 Donc, on m'a dit, on m'a demandé : est-ce que tu peux être rédactrice en chef d'un site Internet ? J'ai dit absolument. Je n'avais pas la moindre idée de ce que j'était en train de faire, mais les gens avec lesquels je travaillais non plus. Alors, c'est un site qui est né et puis qui est mort assez rapidement parce que c'était pas du tout au niveau. Mais c'était ce moment-là, c'était ce moment d'effervescence. C'était cette espèce de ruée vers l'aube. On prenait son seau et puis on partait, on faisait son trou. Et vraiment, voilà, il n'y avait pas de loi. Il n'y avait pas encore de spécialistes. Il y avait du culot, il y avait de la créativité. Il y avait des rencontres, il y avait de l'argent qui coulait à flot parce que tout le monde voulait prendre un bout de ça.00:20:47 Donc, si on croisait quelqu'un qui disait oui, moi, je veux bien essayer. Et vous étiez quoi ? Consultante ? Oui, on venait pour le contenu parce que ce que je sais faire, c'est raconter des histoires ou concevoir des expériences. Comme je n'étais pas technique, je ne savais pas développer. Ça, ce n'est pas la partie qui m'intéressait, donc c'est évidemment la partie visible, les maquettes. Quel aspect ça a ? Donc, j'ai totalement inventé de nouveau un peu de ça. Il y a quand même chez moi quelque chose de l'ordre de l'autodidacte. Comme je vous ai dit, je n'ai pas appris grand chose à l'école. Donc, ce que j'apprends, je suis en immersion permanente. J'ai trouvé le terme cet été en Californie. C'est du full body experience.00:21:30 C'est-à-dire que tout ce que je fais, tout ce que je cuisine, tout ce que je découvre, ce n'est pas tant ce que je lis, c'est ce que je fais, ce que je vis, là où je vais, etc. va me donner une information dont je vais me servir. Il y a vraiment cette notion d'action qui vous habite complètement. Et on l'entend dans votre parcours. Mais cette aventure du digital, elle va durer un petit moment, si je ne dis pas de bêtises. Mais oui, ça dure une bonne dizaine d'années. Puis, il se passe ce qui se passe à peu près toujours dans mes expériences professionnelles. C'est que un jour, les spécialistes arrivent. Et quand les spécialistes arrivent, il se passe deux choses. Mon système devient totalement obsolète parce que ça ne m'intéresse pas de me mettre à niveau.00:22:13 Je ne me mets pas à niveau d'un jeune diplômé d'HEC qui sort avec une spécialité en digital. Jamais de la vie. Mais non, oui, vous n'êtes pas du tout sur le même terrain. Oui, ils arrivent comme un troupeau galopant. Et Internet aussi a beaucoup évolué. Donc, il y a maintenant des codes et dans ces cas-là, ce n'est plus ma place. Je flaire quelque chose. Je n'ai pas flairé Internet. Tout le monde s'en est rendu compte. C'est comme si je flairais l'odeur du pain qui cuit avant qu'il soit complètement cuit. C'est ça. Et c'est ça qui me réveille. Et ça vous a porté pendant dix ans. Vous avez notamment été rédactrice en chef pour Psychologie Magazine. Alors, j'étais chargée des innovations, très exactement. Des innovations du digital de Psychologie Magazine.00:22:56 Il y avait une rédactrice en chef, il y avait une équipe en place. Mais moi, j'étais chargée de créer d'autres sites Internet et de réfléchir à comment utiliser l'interactivité, même à l'intérieur de ces sites, pour la connaissance de soi. Donc, dix années. On entend ce qui va faire que vous allez tourner cette page-là. Je l'ai tournée. Il faut savoir que les pages se tournent violemment. J'ai pris vraiment en pleine face le fait que je n'étais plus du tout au niveau, que les organisations étaient différentes, que ça ne m'intéressait pas, que je ne les intéressais pas. Enfin, c'était. Tout un mélange. La psychologie a été vendue à un grand groupe. Et j'ai dit à ce grand groupe : ce n'est pas la peine de me licencier immédiatement, parce que je ne veux pas faire d'Internet chez vous.00:23:36 Et là, je me suis posé la question du développement durable en me disant : peut-être je peux maintenant réfléchir à des choses plus collectives. Me voilà repartie en Californie pour apprendre le développement durable, puisqu'il y a des universités à San Francisco qui sont entièrement consacrées à ça. Pardon, je me permets de vous interrompre pour remettre dans le contexte. On est au début des années 2010, si je n'ai pas de bêtises. Non, c'est en 2005. Ah oui, donc on parlait très peu de ces sujets-là. Là encore, vous aviez senti le pain chaud. On commençait à parler du RSE, du RSE. On parlait un peu de l'obligation qu'auraient les entreprises à l'avenir. C'est ça, mais à l'époque, ça nous paraissait encore très lointain.00:24:15 Ah oui, non seulement c'était lointain, mais en tout cas, l'entreprise pour laquelle je travaillais n'en avait absolument rien à faire. C'est ça qui était génial. Donc, bref, je pars, je vais apprendre ça et je leur dis : Laissez-moi réfléchir à la responsabilité sociale et environnementale d'un groupe de presse, parce que c'est intéressant quand même. Et puis, alors là, ça a été le fiasco total pour plein de raisons. D'abord, aller travailler dans une très grosse boîte, c'était la première fois de ma vie et la seule. Ça, ça n'est pas mon équation ni mon biotope du tout. Ce n'était pas un endroit pour moi. Et puis surtout, ça ne les intéressait pas. Et en plus de ça, ça nous a mené jusqu'en 2008, où il y a eu une crise économique très importante.00:24:54 Et les premiers budgets, les premiers budgets qui sautent dans ces cas-là sont des budgets de publicité. Les groupes de presse vivent de la publicité. Donc, ils ont perdu 75% de leurs recettes en un trimestre. Donc, le développement durable, c'est peu de dire que ce n'était pas du tout leur délire. Au fond du tiroir, oui, bien sûr. Et donc, mon emploi me quitte. Donc, de nouveau, recrise, parce que me voilà au chômage. Et puis, à chaque fois, l'inconvénient de mon système de fonctionnement, c'est que pour m'emballer pour quelque chose, il faut d'abord que je rencontre quelque chose. Et oui, c'est ça. Et donc, il n'y a rien à se mettre sur le plan. Qu'est-ce qu'il y a là-dedans ? Il y a des plages de recherche et de désespoir. De dépression encore ?00:25:32 On se dit, je ne sais pas si c'est de la dépression, mais c'est énormément d'angoisse. C'est comme quand on attend de tomber amoureux. On ne sait pas, on ne peut pas savoir. Donc, on se dit, mais c'est quand ? C'est dans 35 ans ou c'est dans deux semaines ? Ou est-ce que c'est au coin de la rue ? On ne sait pas. Donc, ça me met comme ça dans des moments de recherche. Mais alors que je m'ennuyais ferme dans ce job précédent, où franchement, je faisais très peu de choses utiles, je m'étais inscrite au cours de psychologie positive. Donc, le premier cours qui était proposé en ligne par Tom Benchard, par l'intermédiaire de l'Université de Pennsylvanie. Donc, je faisais ça entre deux. Je faisais ça à mon bureau, ça ne se voyait pas.00:26:11 Et puis, tout à coup, n'étant plus tenue d'aller au bureau, j'ai eu plus de temps pour pouvoir m'y consacrer. Et je m'y suis engouffrée. C'était passionnant. C'était vivant. J'étais le sujet. C'était le sujet d'études, puisque les devoirs que nous avons à faire en psychologie positive, comme il ne s'agit pas d'une pathologie, de traiter quoi que ce soit comme pathologie, c'est simplement la vie à laquelle on s'adresse. Donc, nous étions nos propres cobayes. Et c'était les devoirs qui étaient exigés de nous. Je ne sais plus combien on était, 500, je crois, dans ce cours, dans le monde entier. Et c'est comme ça que j'ai rencontré tout ça. Et c'est à la suite de ça, toujours au chômage d'ailleurs, que j'ai eu envie de raconter.00:26:52 J'ai trouvé ça tellement chouette que j'ai eu envie de raconter ce que j'avais appris et ce que ça m'avait permis d'appliquer ou de comprendre. Et c'est comme ça que j'ai écrit 'Trois kiffes par jour'. Donc, là, en fait, quand vous l'écrivez, évidemment, vous n'imaginez pas la résonance que ça va avoir et la bascule que vous allez faire. D'autant que pendant ce temps-là, Hachette m'avait offert un bilan de compétences. Alors, j'ai passé des heures et des heures et des heures avec une dame. Et à la fin de tous les jours, de tous les bilans, d'avoir fait des listes, d'interroger des gens, etc. Elle me dit « Écoutez, Flan, ça va être un peu plus long avec vous. Il va falloir revenir ». Et donc, j'ai dit « Non, mais ça suffit maintenant ».00:27:35 Mais elle m'avait quand même dit, je l'ai retrouvé il n'y a pas très longtemps, ce bilan de compétences. Et elle avait dit quelque chose d'extraordinairement juste. Elle avait dit qu'il fallait que je trouve un sujet différent de ce que j'avais vécu jusqu'à présent pour le présenter à l'extérieur, et inventer les outils qui permettaient de le transmettre. Et quand j'ai lu cette phrase, je me suis dit « Ça ne veut rien dire. » J'avais l'impression de lire l'horoscope. C'était tellement abstrait. C'est quand même exactement ce que j'ai fait. Mais sauf que la réalité, rétrospectivement, c'est ça que je devais faire, et c'est ça que j'avais à faire, et c'est ça, en fait, que j'ai fait. Et que vous faites encore aujourd'hui.00:28:11 Donc, c'est là que vous avez écrit ce livre, 'Les trois kiffs par jour', qui a tout de suite été hyper intéressant. Alors, 'Trois kiffs par jour' paraît. J'arrive à la fin de mes deux ans de chômage. Et pendant ce temps-là, quand même, j'avais fait un peu de télévision. J'ai animé une première chronique dans une émission de cuisine. Parce que c'est un autre sujet qui m'intéresse. Aussi, très initié à tout ça par mon cousin David, serveur Schreiber, qui était psychiatre et donc atteint d'une tumeur au cerveau. Il a dû complètement réformer son mode de vie et son alimentation. Donc, nous avons tous modifié notre alimentation pour que David, tout simplement, puisse venir à la maison. David, pardon, je fais une parole.00:28:50 (En parenthèse, c'est lui qui a écrit « Guérir », donc, livre hyper connu, où justement, il nous a initiés aussi, à travers ce livre, à la méditation, etc. Je crois, le MDR aussi, si je ne dis pas de bêtises. Le MDR, la cohérence cardiaque. C'est ça. Et la psychologie positive. C'est là que j'ai lu, pour la première fois de ma vie, le terme « psychologie positive ». Je voulais faire juste cette parenthèse pour le resituer. Et donc, vous, évidemment, là, vous avez dit. Alors, comme j'étais vraiment, voilà, il fallait, comme je vous dis, je suis quelqu'un qui cherche, enfin, qui cherche.) Donc, il y a ce sujet-là de l'alimentation, à la fois santé et sexy, parce que c'est toujours pareil.00:29:27 Si on vous dit « il ne faut pas manger, il ne faut pas manger, il ne faut pas manger », c'est différent de dire « voilà, des recettes géniales ». J'avais, comme ça, tenu une chronique à la télévision, sur Cuisine TV. Par la suite, j'ai eu ma propre émission, qui s'appelait « Des recettes qui font du bien ». Et on a fait quatre saisons. Ça, c'était comme d'aller à la récré, quoi. J'avais un décor. On m'avait demandé ce que je voulais, comme cuisine. J'avais vraiment décrit mon décor idéal. Ils avaient créé le décor idéal. Du coup, l'intérieur de ma tête était devant moi. C'était génial. Et donc, en effet, on cuisinait. Alors, on me maquillait, on me coiffait. Enfin, j'ai adoré.00:30:03 Et donc, vraiment, j'arrive à la fin de cette période de chômage et de temps en temps, comme ça, des tournages d'émissions. Mais ce n'est pas de ça dont je vais vivre. Donc, je m'apprête à retourner à Pôle emploi. Sauf que « Trois kiffes par jour » commence à se vendre. Et « Trois kiffes par jour » commence à se vendre très vite. Et surtout, il y a eu comme ça, parce que ça s'appelait « Trois kiffes par jour », je crois, il y a eu une traction dans les médias. Et donc, je me suis retrouvée au Grand Journal de Canal+. Oui, c'était le grand rendez-vous de début de soirée. J'ai jamais eu aussi peur de ma vie. J'étais tellement stressée. J'étais très intimidée parce que c'est une émission que moi, je regardais avec ferveur.00:30:43 Donc, j'avais l'impression d'être dans la cour des grands. J'ai eu exactement 3 minutes 30 à l'antenne. Mais ça a été 3 minutes 30 formidables parce que d'abord, le sujet est passé. On a commencé, c'était Mouloud Achour qui était en face de moi et qui commence à faire des gestes comme s'il était en train de fumer un joint en disant » Moi aussi, je fume trois cigarettes par jour. Et il y avait à côté de moi Leïla Bekhti, qui est une actrice formidable. Et c'est elle qui l'a repris en lui disant « Mais non, c'est pas du tout ça. Je vais te dire un truc. J'ai eu mon frère au téléphone tout à l'heure et j'adore mon frère. Eh bien, c'est un cliché. Et quand je parle à mon frère, je ressens des choses formidables.00:31:20 » Elle l'a illustré parfaitement, c'est ça. Elle l'a expliqué avec ses mots. Et à partir de là, parce que c'est un peu organisé comme ça en France, les médias se suivent les uns les autres, le fait d'être passée à cette émission m'a ouvert les portes de tout un tas d'autres choses. Eh bien oui. Il y a eu comme ça du buzz autour du livre. Mais il faut reconnaître, c'était il y a presque 15 ans maintenant, le livre se vend toujours. Et le livre se vend toujours toutes les semaines. Donc, ce n'est pas que le buzz d'il y a 15 ans. C'était vraiment, c'est vraiment quelque chose. Je crois que le contenu du livre fait aussi partie de ces contenus qui sont accessibles, identifiables. On s'y reconnaît.00:31:56 Ces transitions de vie, parce que c'est quand même un livre qui raconte plein de transitions de vie, se présentent à n'importe quel moment dans la vie des uns, des autres, se représentent dans ma mienne. Une fois que « Trois kiffs par jour » est sorti, je commence à me demander de donner des conférences. Et ça, c'est un métier que j'avais complètement mis sous le tapis pendant 20 ans puisque c'était mon premier métier. En formation de PNL ? Oui, formation de PNL et à la qualité de service surtout. C'est ce que je faisais. Et j'ai retrouvé ce métier qui est ma vocation. C'est quand même celui-là. En résumant tout, c'est de venir raconter, de venir raconter, de venir raconter sous toutes les formes.00:32:37 Donc, depuis « Trois kiffs par jour », ça a été sous la forme, évidemment, de conférences. Ça, c'est vraiment ma vie professionnelle dans la journée. Je vais dans des entreprises et je donne des conférences. J'organise des choses dans des théâtres pour le grand public. Donc, quand j'ai une nouvelle conférence, j'en fais presque un spectacle. J'ai également créé un vrai spectacle qui s'est appelé « La fabrique à kiff ». Alors ça, vous étiez en scène. En scène, absolument. Ce n'était pas ça votre rêve d'enfant, d'ailleurs. Je n'ai pas lu ça. C'était l'un de mes rêves d'enfant. C'est Julie Androuz ? Oui, Julie Androuz, tout à fait. Pour la resituer, c'est Marie Poppins ou comment elle s'appelle ? C'est Maria dans « La mélodie du bonheur ». Maria dans « La mélodie du bonheur ».00:33:16 Donc là, quand vous faites « La fabrique à kiff », vous êtes sur scène auprès de deux amis, c'est ça ? Alors, deux femmes que j'ai rencontrées à cette occasion qui sont devenues des amies, qui étaient thérapeutes. Et on incarnait nos propres rôles. C'est-à-dire que j'étais Florence Servan-Schreiber, prof de bonheur, et elle était thérapeute. Et donc, on a écrit un spectacle hilarant. Évidemment, on s'est fait aider par des gens qui nous ont mis en scène, qui nous ont aidés dans l'écriture. C'était aussi de pénétrer un autre univers qui est celui du théâtre. On a tourné pendant trois ans avec ce spectacle incroyable où, le lundi soir, on allait jouer comme ça dans toute la France. Et puis, le reste de la semaine, on faisait notre métier comme d'habitude.00:33:56 Dites-moi si je me trompe, mais j'ai l'impression que depuis « Les trois kiffes par jour », vous avez tiré ce fil-là de vulgariser le bonheur, de le rendre accessible simplement. Il n'y a pas ce côté un peu prise de tête qu'on peut parfois ressentir dans le développement perso. Ce que vous nous offrez, c'est la psychologie positive que vous nous rendez accessible à travers des outils simples. Là, on a pas mal parlé de cet exercice des « trois kiffes par jour », mais vous parlez aussi d'écriture, de cohérence cardiaque, etc. Est-ce que c'est ça, aujourd'hui, votre activité ? Mon activité, c'est de faire des choses, de ne parler que de sujets sérieux sans me prendre au sérieux. Oui, c'est ça. Donc, tout ce dont je vous parle est fondé, vient de quelque part.00:34:40 Ce dont je me rends compte aujourd'hui, c'est que les trois kiffes par jour est un autre fondement qui me permet d'appuyer des choses que je viens raconter. C'est mon expérience. C'est-à-dire qu'à mon âge, on ne peut plus faire l'économie de son expérience. Je ne peux pas raconter mon parcours comme une étudiante qui travaille depuis 10 ans ou depuis 20 ans. J'ai la totalité d'une vie derrière moi. Donc, c'est aussi la base de tous ces apprentissages. Donc, il y a vraiment cette notion de transmission qui va prendre plein de formes, que ce soit à travers vos livres, à travers les conférences que vous donnez, ce que vous faites sur scène. Je crois que vous avez aussi sur Internet des programmes. Il y a une académie en ligne.00:35:18 Donc, ça va être par l'écriture, par la parole, par du digital. Je viens vous raconter ce que je sais. Et en effet, l'écriture, par exemple, est un des sujets sur lesquels j'ai également travaillé. J'ai publié un livre qui s'appelle Écrire pour s'épanouir et kiffer. Après avoir été chercher toutes les recherches qui ont été faites sur le pouvoir de l'économie et de l'écriture sur notre psychisme et vie psychologique. Donc, à la fois les traumatismes en thérapie, mais aussi l'épanouissement, la créativité, la façon dont on peut vraiment se développer grâce à ça. Là, je vous écoute et je me dis vraiment, c'est super de parler avec vous pour cette semaine de la santé mentale parce que souvent, on résume la santé mentale au trauma. Et puis là, en fait, vous, vous reliez ça beaucoup à une clé d'épanouissement.00:36:08 En fait, on n'est pas obligé de parler du noir tout le temps et des choses négatives. On est obligé de parler du noir au contraire, on va cultiver avec vous, on cultive le positif. Le trauma sera là, quoi qu'il arrive. Alors il, il prend toute la place, il fait tout ce qu'il veut, c'est lui qui règne. Donc, si on veut le contrebalancer, en fait, il faut en prendre la décision, c'est-à-dire qu'on apprend énormément de choses sur le trauma. Ce que je sais, c'est qu'on peut aussi apprendre énormément de choses sur l'épanouissement. Et mon job à moi, c'est ça, puisque le trauma. Alors je ne sais pas si vous savez ça, mais je suis par ailleurs présidente de l'école qu'avait créée David qui s'appelle l'Institut français de l'EMDR.00:36:49 Et donc, nous formons chaque année des centaines de thérapeutes à l'EMDR. Et l'EMDR, c'est vraiment pour le traumatisme. Donc, je suis dans mon fort intérieur, dans la partie de moi qui aime aider, celle qui est au service. J'ai les deux extrémités de l'éventail, c'est-à-dire que le traumatisme est couvert par des gens. Moi, je ne pourrais pas vous enseigner ça parce que vraiment, ce sont des gens qui sont complètement confinés, qui font ça. Et de l'autre côté, je viens nous rappeler que malgré et en plus de notre main, il y a des choses que nous pouvons faire avec légèreté. Pour moi, une journée est une composition de moments. Ce n'est pas une journée. Il y a différents instants, il peut y avoir différentes couleurs, différents goûts, différentes saveurs dans la journée.00:37:32 Avant de passer aux questions rituelles, j'aimerais savoir ce que vous aimeriez dire à cette Florence qui a 19 ans, qui n'est pas hyper bien dans sa peau, si je comprends bien, qui est sur le point de s'envoler pour la Californie. La femme que vous êtes aujourd'hui. La seule chose que j'ai à lui dire, c'est ça va aller. Et quoi qu'il arrive, ça va aller. Et c'est vrai. Et c'est aller dans énormément de directions, vers le haut, vers le bas, vers la droite, vers la gauche. Mais ça va aller. Nos ressources sont incroyables et nous avons chacune et chacun notre façon de faire. Et ce dont on se rend compte vraiment, décennie après décennie, parce que là, maintenant, j'en ai plein dans les pattes des décennies, c'est qu'en tout cas, chez moi, chacune va être traitée d'une certaine façon et permet à l'autre de se consolider et de construire dessus et qu'on n'arrête jamais cette construction.00:38:27 Heureusement. C'est fatigant, mais c'est fantastique. C'est tout ça à la fois, c'est vrai. Allez, mais quelques questions rituelles pour terminer. J'aimerais savoir, vous, Florence, si vous êtes à l'écoute de votre petite voix au quotidien. Nous sommes sept. Ça fait du monde. À l'intérieur. À l'intérieur de moi. Donc, je suis sans arrêt en dialogue avec quelque chose qui est à l'intérieur de moi. Si vous faites référence à l'intuition, au fait d'avoir pris de mauvaises décisions, bien sûr, je prends de mauvaises décisions, malgré le fait que je n'écoute pas toujours. Il y a des choses que je me dis et puis il y a des choses que je ne me dis pas, très franchement, que je découvre en marchant. Mais oui, j'ai beaucoup, beaucoup de dialogue intérieur et je suis très, très sensible à cette partie-là.00:39:09 Et j'ai, j'ai, j'aimerais qu'elle prenne encore plus de place. J'aimerais qu'elle mène la danse, en fait. Ça me ferait des vacances. Je pense qu'on en est tous là, mais que le mental prend de la place. C'est ça. Est-ce qu'il y a un livre qui a particulièrement éclairé votre chemin de vie ? Quand j'ai lu Manche Première d'Elisabeth Gilbert, ça a ouvert quelque chose de très important pour la suite, qui était, elle écrivait ce livre à la première personne et c'est au moment où je m'attaquais à Trois Kifs par Jour, c'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit « Ah, mais tu as lu Manche Première et non ? » Donc, je l'ai acheté et j'ai découvert qu'en parlant à la première personne, je m'identifiais complètement à elle et ça m'a autorisée à écrire Trois Kifs par Jour comme ça.00:39:49 Et ça a complètement libéré quelque chose dans mon écriture depuis parce que c'est là que mon écriture, ce n'était pas le premier livre, mais c'est vraiment à partir de là que j'écris quasiment tous les jours. Je ne parle même plus au singulier, je parle au pluriel, c'est-à-dire c'est nous. Je considère que tout ce qui m'arrive, tout ce qui vous arrive, m'arrive aussi. Donc, ça nous arrive. Donc, ce livre-là a ouvert ça pour moi. Est-ce que vous avez un rituel bien-être quotidien ? Le matin au réveil, la première chose que nous faisons, Alex, Marie et moi, c'est que nous méditons. OK. Au lit, alors couché, pas du tout dans les positions zen, etc. Oui. Mais nous méditons au lit. OK, d'accord. Bon, et Florence, est-ce que vous êtes heureuse ?00:40:32 À cet instant précis, oui, mais je ne sais répondre que dans l'instant. Je suis vraiment comme les dorades, c'est-à-dire que je suis vraiment que je vois là où je suis. Je peux vous le dire là maintenant. Rien ne me dit que dans un quart d'heure, je ne serais pas effondrée par un blocage. Je ne sais pas, quelque chose qui se présente là. Je suis incapable de vous dire oui, je suis heureuse. Mais là, tout de suite, maintenant ? Là, tout de suite, oui. Chouette. Vous savez quoi, Florence ? Ça a été un vrai kiff pour moi, cet entretien. Donc, je vous remercie beaucoup. Je repars avec un grand sourire. Et moi aussi. Merci beaucoup.______________________________________Semaine de la Santé Mentale • Psychologie positive • 3 kifs par jour • PNL (Programmation Neuro-Linguistique) • épanouissement personnel • psychologie transpersonnelle______________________________________Vous aimerez cet épisode si vous aimez : Métamorphose, éveille ta conscience !

In this episode, I share my coaching journey including the experiences, books, trainings, and key moments that have helped learn to serve my clients powerfully one on one and in group settings. Reach out: www.brianrussellphd.com and brian@brianrussellphd.com Here are the many resources mentioned: Books that Shaped Me: Every book has the potential to teach you something about coaching. Refuse to read simply as a means for gathering mere information. The key is to apply insights and lessons from your reading into actual tactics/action steps and questions. Learn to read books as a means to helping yourself and others experience transformation. I've read hundreds of books over the last 13 years that have helped me to develop into the person and coach that I am today. The following books are the curated few that I personally recommend because they authentically helped me to grow personally and taught me ideas and practices that I've integrated into my own style of coaching and into the programs that I presently offer.

When we talk about managing MS on this podcast, we're usually talking about treatments based upon traditional Western medicine. But there are also complementary therapies that have been shown to improve MS symptoms. And acupuncture is one of those complementary therapies that's been shown to be effective in treating pain, spasticity, numbness or tingling, bladder problems, and depression.  Joining me to talk about the therapeutic effects of acupuncture in treating MS symptoms are Jennifer Mohr-Boscaino and Ken Bandler. Jennifer is a licensed acupuncturist and the founder of Precious Health Acupuncture in New York, and Ken is a public relations executive who lives with MS and receives acupuncture treatment for his MS symptoms. We're also talking about how a large MS clinical trial has been able to increase minority participation, and how other MS research studies may be able to learn from this example. We'll tell you about a study that showed the benefit of COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations and boosters for people living with MS who are on b-cell depleting therapies, like Ocrevus. And if you're an MS caregiver, or you know one, I'm asking for a favor that will cost you just 5 minutes of your time. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

En los últimos años hemos oído hablar de storytelling hasta la saciedad. Que si la importancia de las historias al hablar en público.Que si el poder de las historias para introducir contenidos.Que si las ventajas de las historias para generar estados.Todo eso está muy bien. Pero existe un componente de las historias que, realmente, marca la diferencia y que muy pocas personas saben manejar con la suficiente maestría.Me estoy refiriendo a las metáforas.Y para hablar de ellas, de su uso, de su utilidad, de sus beneficios cuando queremos persuadir, cuento con uno de los mejores expertos en el mundo, Gabriel Guerrero,Esto es «Créeme lo que te digo», episodio 107.

Value of all digital art estimated at $2.8 billionAll art (mostly physical art) volume last year: $65 billion CryptoArt.io , All Art Sales  Over 4 million on waitlist for the “coming soon” coinbase marketplace Early-adopter stage Affordable project: Illuvium https://medium.com/illuvium/illuvium-dev-blog-march-2022-c782348b031  NFT NewsUS government connects North Korean hacking group with last month's $600 million Ronin exploit  Coinbase Is Creating A Three-Part Bored Ape Yacht Club Film Series Lego x Epic Games Partner To Make The Metaverse Child Friendly NFT News: Under Armour Files Trademarks to Enter the Metaverse - DraftKings Nation    Past project updates:  The Red Village is running tournaments, Pegaxy just introduced a fascinating burn mechanic      Project:   Transcript [00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs. How big is the NFT market? The answer 47. No, [00:00:09] that's not exactly. I think the spot on. Yeah. Good to talk to again, George. [00:00:16] Yeah. So we're going to cover some news. We're going to cover some projects. We'll probably remember to do all of those things inside of here, but just to start, we've got little oh, here, the us government connects North Korea hacking group with last month, 600 million Ronan exploit. [00:00:34] As you remember, Ronin is the the currency under lying, the Axiom infinity game along with SLP, which is the earned revenue. There was a problem in there where frankly, they got us for all of their ethos that people were holding. They're going to be made whole because there's a lot of money floating around. [00:00:54] So I don't know if there's anything else on this interesting North Korea. Yeah. [00:00:57] There had been some rumors that it was probably a state actor around the time, just because there was so little information coming out about it. And 600 million is kind of a large number to not, to have a lot more discussion around. [00:01:11] So not too surprising if if you had kind of read some of that, the Lazarus group they'd been known crypto hackers in the past. So. You know, interesting. There's about 450 million tied to one address specifically unclear where the other, I don't know, 150 million or so is all right. Well, anyway, let's see, we've got the next bit of news here. [00:01:35] We've got news of Coinbase NFTs. Cool. It sounds like Coinbase in a P is coming out. Right, George, [00:01:41] stop it. You're you keep teasing me with this and I'm done. I'm done with it. It's never going to happen. Not going to. Never gonna make it. [00:01:49] So they've got a three-part. Film series coming out with the board API club. [00:01:54] They did, they announced this didn't seem to be huge news in the board. Ape world is bigger news in the Coinbase world. Interestingly in quick days, it did slip in there that their NFT marketplace is coming very, very soon. So, you know, they have a different scale than some of us. But you know, maybe that who knows what that means, but they are, they're at least finding a way to put themselves in the conversation with board apes at this point. [00:02:23] Yeah. I mean, they've got the wallet app, which I think is actually much bigger than folks realize because it's tied to the mobile. And it's tied to your ability, frankly, one of the best and easiest on-ramps for turn and Fiat into crypto at, at low costs and low friction. And you know, even knowing what I know, I still use the Coinbase to my private wallet, you know, conveyor belt. [00:02:51] What do you use actually to get your, to get Fiat's or are you just no longer. Moving stuff that way [00:02:58] yet. I haven't done that in awhile. Move Fiat to crypto. Got a, got a good, a good amount of crypto at this point and move around and crypto much more often. But that is a good point though, that, that they do have that wallet. [00:03:13] And they do have a very long pave and see that you've just made a note. They have a very long waiting list for their NFT marketplace and heard it's as big as 4 million people at this point. So you know, they, and the Coinbase NFT marketplace, I believe it will. Some point, you know, it is becoming a running joke around you know, around the NFG world of, because it has been such a long time and especially as fast as things move in in crypto world. [00:03:45] Yeah. Well, I I'm not holding my breath and I'm moving, I'm moving on from, from hopes to sort of make making other other plans. When it comes, hopefully it'll move the market because that's a lot of people that enter into it. Once you get an idea of how big the NFT market is and isn't we'll get into that a little bit more later on in the episode. [00:04:07] Next step, next story we've got here. We've got Lego coming into the metaverse. They've partnered with epic games and they are looking to make a child friendly. Metaverse you know, so I think this will be more in line with I'm not sure if it, it roadblocks or The other one craft Minecraft. [00:04:29] That's actually the one that I'm more familiar with, they know, but there, and I think from what I know, a Minecraft is much more actually kid safe than roadblocks is as a platform. So I'm sure they see that and see an opportunity. They're so interesting that they are getting into this Lego. [00:04:46] Does, you know, it seems like it would work with a lot of the the Minecraft style of building with blocks. They could use. You know, use a Lego like block to, to build in the world and partnering with epic certainly gives them a, a big leg up again, getting started here. [00:05:05] Yeah. Well, we'll see you know, talking about this next generation of just fully normalized to ownership and creation in on online ecosystems. [00:05:16] I actually liked that partnership. I like that. Groups like that, getting together as opposed to saying like, yeah, let's trust mark Zuckerberg with our, with our kids in the metaverse, which is not the first line I'd maybe go for and in, in my bed. [00:05:30] Yeah, absolutely. You know, I do think that like has has a good reputation and we'll work to uphold that you know, with a metaverse that is actually safe for kids. [00:05:43] Yeah. I mean, in epic games, obviously that's the creator behind 14. Which, you know, say what you will like it's guns and whatnot, but they have really brought the multiplayer battle Royales to the foreground. And also I respect the heck out of that massive donation in aid to Ukraine the other month, like totally, I think it was over 80 million. [00:06:02] So hats off and respect. They know how to manage youth in an ecosystem on. [00:06:08] Absolutely. All right. One more news item here. We've got another company entering the metaverse and other, a fashion apparel company under armor. This time I, a gear I'd say, but a Nike Adidas. And now under armor, all very active or sorry, Nike. [00:06:28] Adidas are already very active in NFTs and the metaverse and now we're seeing under armor also getting into the space. So, you know, as we've been saying, you know, I think this is just going to become, every company has some sort of metaverse play at some point and it won't be such news, but you know, at this point we're still, you know, I think it is still somewhat headline grabbing when when these companies do make plans [00:06:51] yeah. [00:06:52] In this Tweet. And here the Nike recently now 6.7 million Robox roadblocks players had visited the virtual Nike land store talking about attention. And you're talking about attention in these digital ecosystems. So brands are definitely waking up cause they realize where the next generation of consumers are spending time and might be making. [00:07:15] All right. Well, let's move on to our affordable project. George, you've got another one for us today. And what do you have? [00:07:23] So for change, it's not soccer. How about that? [00:07:28] Well, wait, so it's gotta be a stable, stable base game, right? [00:07:33] Kind of, but no, not even as the Lindsay's. I've been watching and you've probably heard this before. [00:07:39] Alluvium for, for awhile. It's kinda like then in, you know, I got a lot of stuff on the site in the side view Ramir but essentially, you know, I can dedicate like many, many hours to the lore of what's being built around Eluvia, but they have technically not launched as a full game. They are going to be a think of it as what the next. [00:08:00] Brand of Pokemon will be in the metaverse and that's most exciting implementation. And they've got a tremendous discord. Right now they don't have anything in the NFTE land that frankly I would be getting into, but they do have a token and it's that sort of dangerous game of token defense. The the game, but you know, right now, just looking at the overall just size internally, they've got I believe something like, you know, 42,000 folks on YouTube, 290,000 on Twitter, and then what they called survivors 190, 4,000 in there. [00:08:42] So they've been under development for a while now, the sort of reason I'm bringing it up now they've got Eluvia island, V I L V. Total. And, you know, you, you can look at the price and move around, but I think the play right now is to potentially look at getting in at whatever your size is for some of that Eluvia token. [00:09:02] Cause they have just launched they're staking V2. And so they're staking V2. Earn yield on that, but also sort of, kind of be ready once. Once the play starts watching and they've got a, a game launcher that's going to come, it's gonna be a desktop downloader, and they've got some amazing graphics and art here. [00:09:22] They have a fully doxed team. And they've just, they've been building for a very long time. Look the risks of this, as I've said before, like, you know, when game and you're sort of play this game of like waiting and. But I'll tell you a good time to get in. It's like a team that can execute and finally does launch will, and they do sort of hit part of this, like be able to capitalize on a community, ready to go and look, there's going to be the next Pokemon, the next branded, catch them, breed them, interact in this multi game world. [00:09:55] They've got all of the game dynamics really planned out and it's. There's going to be a winner. I don't know if it's this one or not, but it's something that I'm kind of watching the side. What do you see about alluvium from, from where? See. [00:10:07] So I've heard this one talked about a lot and you know, I think he gets, I don't know if it's getting a lot of attention, but it's certainly getting mentioned in a lot of NFT circles looking they're looking ahead to what's coming. [00:10:21] I, like you said, there's not a ton there for NFTs at this point. So it is kind of playing on the future. That being said, I think it is somewhat overlooked at this point. And you know, if they are able to. You know, to, to make this work, even if it's, you know, I think you have to be, you have to be wary that any of these games are going to run into the same problems as, as we've seen over and over that, they're going to go through a, a good cycle and then maybe run into problems. [00:10:50] But I think. If you're aware of that cycle, there is an opportunity here. You know, it would be, I would, if the price does increase by a lot, I would definitely look to maybe at least a move you know, move the original investment out and, you know, then if you are looking to hold long-term you know, that would be the way that. [00:11:13] Would look to play this kind of one. [00:11:16] Yeah. And they've got some tremendous marketing goals, such as like Guinness book record for largest pot for a game played, but they've got the sign up for the auto Bandler private beta right now. But there's sort of testing and getting an idea of what's going on. [00:11:31] So it may be a period of time where the price is low interest is kind of at a, at a point that might make sense to test it out and take a look to see if this might. Something that that takes hold, but obviously, yeah, like there's nothing better than playing with the house's money kind of building on that. [00:11:48] I had some other updates that I wanted to throw out there of past projects. One, the red village, they are running active tournaments and I have been playing in them. I've been winning with some of them. I've got a nice guy. He's got like a 50% win rate. He's a little drunk. It was an R for my R one is not performing very well. [00:12:07] Mary wind Claus, just saying interesting. I don't know. She's she's just not achieving like, like prior, so I got a Druid doing it and it's actually, you know, it's, I'm, I'm, I'm really excited for them because I feel like I've watched their sort of story unfold for a number of months. But it's, it's That's actually working. [00:12:24] It's actually fun. The other one is Pegasi back to stables. He knew I was going to, I didn't talk about soccer stables. So here we go. I guess they have a super fascinating burn mechanics. So this has been the wildest ride. I think I've ever been on for. Peak value and then peak crash. Like it was so aggressive because of the, [00:12:49] and you own dose. [00:12:51] So I think that's really saying something [00:12:53] I've written some waves I've written. Yeah. And I owned a fish. So that's thanks for disclosing. That's great. Sorry, [00:13:02] is that a, was that not? [00:13:03] I at least I at least took my initial. I follow my own rule. Take the initial investment outside. I did something smart there, but there's a different universe where I made a lot more money, but I still believe in dovish. [00:13:14] I'm a. Anyway what happened with Pegasi is they sort of ran up in the price for the, the base currency and then which is called biz. If you want to track it and you can kind of look at a story and it was like crash. So it was up at like 25 cents. And then I was like down at like 0.04 cents. [00:13:34] So pretty, pretty epic bottom falling out, which is just the nature of play to earn games that expand and breeding. Right? If the breeding is increased, you can see it every single time that effectively there's no other side of the market and re reason to keep it. What they have done is reasonably rollout and they did this on April 14th. [00:13:53] So it's been a little while. So it'd be interesting to take a look at where the market is, have created a burn mechanic for general Pega. So the base peg is. The Pacers that you have to burn to and admins to get a epic and to get a rare, to get a legendary. So they have this sort of, you have to burn more, to get more into a higher tier. [00:14:12] That'll let you earn more. So they've actually sort of rearchitected the whole way that the token will be earned and it sort of is going to neutralize this like massive breeding problem that happened where the proliferation of. Very low tier horse. Peggy's got introduced into the market, so I'm optimistic and it might be interesting if you kind of heard me talking about it and take a look at like this inflection point where things are at the Flory, Flory, McPherson, and seeing what's going on there. [00:14:43] And one of the tactics might be I'm looking at. Looking at undervalued founding. So, you know, remember the don't buy what you can breed founding and, or potentially the the legendary, which are now are of higher value because they can earn a heck of a lot more than the other ones. So I'm very curious, it's a team that develops and does stuff, but you know, nothing, nothing like seeing dynamics play out right in your backyard and saying hope that works. [00:15:11] All right, Andrew, how big is the NFT market go? [00:15:17] All right. Well, not very, I would say overall, there we go. Seven. Okay. Oh good. Todd. You know, this was something that I've, I dunno, it came up. It came up recently when I was looking at I guess it was on Twitter and someone was talking about how they're at an NFT event and asking others if they knew how many active users were on, on open sea. [00:15:40] And, you know, at this point, you know, everybody seemed to be way off and, you know, there's about 500,000 active monthly users on an open seat. And to put that in some perspective, Instagram has 400 and 545 million monthly active users discord as 121 million. So when you think about the fact that, you know, every NFT project seems to have a discourse. [00:16:06] Yeah at most you know, maybe there could even be double if people aren't actively trading, but even if there's a million NFT holder using discord, there, it means there's another 120 million using discord that aren't NFT that they're, aren't using open C on a monthly basis. So this is, you know, it really puts it in perspective how few people. [00:16:25] Actively trading NFTs on a monthly basis. And I think that's, it's really important to consider here. You know, there's a lot of talk like, is it over? Is it I shouldn't say a lot of times there's always discussion of, you know, with new, with new technologies of whether, you know, the bubble has been burst, whether, you know, it's, it's all over, whether it was just a fad. [00:16:44] And I think, you know, when you looked at this, we're seeing that the numbers are growing, but it's still. It's still quite small. You know, at 500,000 users we're talking about, you know, more like a, you know, a relatively successful iPhone app or mobile app of some sort you know, that's, that's what the numbers are at this point. [00:17:05] And granted, you know, Things that have, you know, you have to actually be spending to be an active user, but that's, you know, that's, that's not that hard. Once people get into the crypto the crypto crypto world and have their wallet ready to, to move some crypto around and into NFTs. [00:17:25] Yeah. Something like the total active. [00:17:28] So you're, I think you're, you're right to look at like monthly active, cause there's like people that maybe got dropped one thing and then like left it alone and like ran away. But it's like anywhere from a million to 1.4 million, but in terms of active wallets, it is so, so small that, yeah, like when we were talking about how like, yeah, the liquidity could be pulled out by one project, because by the way, there's, there's only half a million of us running around with E doing this sort of thing, which you know, is a good reminder that this is still very, very new in terms of an adopted technical. [00:18:04] But yeah, there's definitely hype. There's definitely gonna be pullbacks, but I get to say, like, when I hear from, you know, different people in various podcasts and interviews of like how, when they first realized that this is the ownership layer of the web and how excited they got and how they found these communities, it is a type of excitement that I just don't see, like going away. [00:18:28] So it's very sticky for the people that get into it and enjoy it. And it kind of like pulls people in, in the same way. I'd say that like it's apt to compare it to a social media platform where it is it's an experience is improved by the, the you know, end of number of nodes in it, right. Extra people in it create extra value. [00:18:53] And it accrues in that way. In the same way, I think is true for a lot of these discords and NFT. So there is a, a virality, a K factor here that is positive and seems to be trending up. Though they're going to certainly be dips along the way, but you know, it's hard to argue like the run-up that you saw in 2021, continuing, but I think it can easily be done when you look at again, 3.7 now 4 million, like people on a waiting list. [00:19:22] On, you know, [00:19:25] the thing I said, the waiting list, the waiting list is now about eight times the size of the number of monthly active users on open. See, that's, that's, that's a lot of people that are waiting to that. And if half of [00:19:37] them fall into a coma and say, I don't feel like it, that's still four times the amount of monthly active you four times the amount. [00:19:47] Not necessarily maybe liquidity, but certainly individual purchasing, which gives me more hope for some of those longer tail projects. Right? If the folks that were interested in buying the, like the top tens, like, oh, I've got to get my Zuki. I have to get my board ape. Like they would have already done it. [00:20:05] I think this is much more about the retail interest of getting into entities in a safe, vetted way. That is not the wild west of openings. [00:20:13] Yeah. I mean, I think there is, I mean, I think there are a lot of people that will actually end up on open C after trying out maybe Coinbase and empty, you know, we've seen this happen in the past that you know, it can lead people to to other platforms. [00:20:28] But certainly having a I don't know, a safer platform to try it out on initially. We'll make it a little. Easier for people to at least take that first step and understand what it means to own an NFT. And like you said, once you do own it and understand the, the ownership and the, how that plays in. [00:20:47] And I think it's so much easier to understand by actually interacting with these. So, you know, I, I do think that Coinbase we'll have we'll have. They big marketplace and a big effect, but I think it will also bring people into the space or into open sea and into some of these other more decentralized, not that open seat is, but these other marketplaces that are maybe not custody such as nifty gateway or Coinbase and make people more willing to try these out after they've had the experience of actually owning one of these in a safe environment. [00:21:20] Yeah. I mean, obviously. Super cost-prohibitive. So on the contrary to this, like the MCOMP to saying like, look at Instagram, it's viral. Look at like candy crush is 119 million people. Like frankly, the starting point for NFTs is, can be embarrassingly high for certain projects. However, you know, Solano got listed. [00:21:42] I am the first one to say I'm not a huge fan of the salon ecosystem, but as. Projects of higher quality jump onto that platform, you know, like, yeah, you're going to be able to get in quite easily for like under a hundred bucks and play a different type of game and interact there. And so it'll be really you know, it'll be exciting when it happens and we'll do an emergency podcast and say, oh my gosh, it's happening. [00:22:06] We have another note in here though, around the total value. So it's like a different way of measuring the NFE market. We're talking about. But how do you look at the sort of value quote, unquote of, [00:22:19] yeah, you're right. This is, so this is another way of looking at it and this is. Specific to crypto art, digital art, and not necessarily NMT collections, but crypto art.io is a site that tracks NFT art and they value. [00:22:34] They have an estimate of about 2.8 billion for all of. All of digital crypto art. I'm not that sold last year. Just the total value. So the, just to put that one in perspective, the volume for traditional R for all art last year, including digital was 65 billion. So. We would have seen, let's see, almost 22 weeks or so. [00:23:03] The, we would had to seek a 22 X the turnover of all of the digital art for it to equate to that much. So there's just a very small amount. That's whoa, a small amount of art, but also a very small amount of value that's currently on on the blockchain and in NFT art. So I think that we're going to start seeing that change. [00:23:22] I think there's going to be a lot of traditional. Art collectors and art institutions that are moving into crypto in the future. You know, especially as more as more users come in, you know, it becomes a I don't know, any more meaningful piece to hold. And, you know, as you said, that's when the. [00:23:41] Inflection point in the metaverse will be when these digital goods become more meaningful and more, and therefore more valuable to us than a physical goods. And I think that's what we will see with some of these physical arts are these digital arts over time. [00:23:55] I just don't see how that isn't the future of this. [00:24:00] And it's weird. Cause I, I sometimes have to like look for alternative narratives to be like, oh, all of this is going to blow away. Like the wind. It's not going to say. No, I'm not going to save that thing. That by the way, has to sit in a warehouse or behind a screen that you can't ever see, but it sits over there as opposed to like my ability to use this in the metaverse use this in the real, like, I can put it up on a screen here and be like, Hey, here's my art. [00:24:24] I mean, I went over to the other day. I saw your art rotating the wall, and I'm like, I'm very jealous. I'm going to get one of those things, but I'm gonna get the next version that gives me a little more. [00:24:31] Oh, no, [00:24:33] I'm going to get the V2 can get the V2, but I just, I think just to come back to it this is the early adopter stage. [00:24:41] If you look at adoption cycles, we're in a micro height moment, let's just be very clear, like we're in a hype moment, 90, 95% of, if you look at the top 100 projects gone, go away. If you, if you look for the next five years, will they still be around? And that however, I think in the overall market and then in playing into it saying like, this is something you have to pay attention to. [00:25:05] And that's what gets me excited about this. And, you know, it's why I got fired up to do this podcast because I think this forces me to do the research and pay attention to it and also stay with it because there's, I will, I will say weeks where I'm kind of frustrated at decisions I've made quite a bit. [00:25:22] And like, that's the other thing it's like, it really stings. Like when you, you know, you buy a dud horse and you're like, why did I do that? [00:25:28] Great. I mean, if you think about the fact that anyone can. Yeah, can basically try to sell at any point. And, you know, even in these companies that are, you know, these, these projects that are trying to build something early, you know, it would be akin to someone saying, yes, I'm ready to invest in a, you know, at a seed round. [00:25:45] And then maybe two weeks later saying, you know what, as it moved fast enough, I'm ready to sell. And that would be, you know, that'd be kind of crazy. Kind of what we're working with in NFTs. So we haven't really had this sort of liquidity to a marketplace you know, and all of these different projects trying to do so many different things at the same time. [00:26:06] You know, I don't know that there's an apt comparison to look at for for what we're seeing in NFTs. Right. [00:26:12] I, I struggle, you know, you have to kind of cobble together a bunch to get there, but you know, also saying like, okay, if you're an early adopter, early adopter phase or about to go through a bit of a trough and a pullback fine. [00:26:24] But long-term like, where are we now versus where is it going to be? You know, you hear me talking about games non-stop and like trying to, you know, guess on soccer, but the smartest thing. Recently is kind of picking up on your lead of, of looking at capital a art versus PFPs things that are created by artists that are really defining the art movement of this time. [00:26:47] Like I'm still very much long on that. And I think they're, they're getting overlooked. They truly are. I'm really excited. I picked up a Sarah Zucker piece from that Ash chapter two and I also picked up And so, you know, I'm, I'm pretty pretty happy about both and holding on to both for a little while. [00:27:09] And it's because I know they're going to continue to create. And I think that there's like a moment in time where certainly, maybe it goes up and down, but longterm it sort of epitomizes like a type of artists at that at a moment right now that I hope that like one I'd want to display it. It's. And, and to sort of survive. [00:27:29] They're like, oh, it's not part of this PFP project that the community went away. Like the community is people that identify this as art created by an artist in this moment, that is a typical of a style and format that was Sarah this time. [00:27:43] Yeah, I think that's, yeah, that's great. I mean, those are two artists that have definitely shown dedication to their work and. [00:27:50] I think he can be pretty comfortable knowing that they will be around here, be around in the space. Interesting. Interesting to note the dead fellows artist is also a female seat. So we invested in two of the more well-known females in the in this face. So [00:28:08] you're [00:28:09] given a little hint on our next our next step. [00:28:12] I want to give way too much alpha. Don't want to get. [00:28:14] All right. So how big is the NFTE market? Keep in mind, very early 500,000. They'll you'll see like numbers, like a million, but monthly active users. What we care about, people throwing things around and a lot more to come. Obviously when, when Coinbase is the elephant in the room, but it continues. [00:28:31] Yeah. If you were, [00:28:32] if you were in and if these at all right now, you were early in the space and well ahead of many others, and there's a lot left to come, I would say. So feel free to hop in our discord. We encourage you to up in our discourse yet [00:28:44] it have some projects. Stop me from continuing to find horse, horse related. [00:28:48] If you have, honestly, if you can find something that relates to horses and playing soccer or something, please bring it to versus playing [00:28:56] soccer. You immediately get in our discord at three NFT and you bring that to me right now.

La programación neurolingüística (PNL) es un enfoque pseudocientífico de comunicación, desarrollo personal y psicoterapia, creado por Richard Bandler, John Grinder y Frank Pucelik en California, Estados Unidos, en la década de 1970. Sostiene que existe una conexión entre los procesos neurológicos («neuro»), el lenguaje («lingüística»), y los patrones de comportamiento aprendidos a través de la experiencia («programación»), afirmando que estos se pueden cambiar para lograr objetivos específicos en la vida.1​2​ Bandler, Grinder y Pucelik afirman que la metodología de la PNL puede «modelar» las habilidades de personas excepcionales y luego esas habilidades pueden ser adquiridas por cualquier persona.

La PNL se inició cuando, a mediados de los 70, John Grinder y Richard Bandler se propusieron averiguar, qué es lo que hacía que, dos psicoterapeutas famosos en USA en aquellos años (Fritz Perls y Virginia Satir), fueran tan efectivos en la obtención de resultados. En su primer libro (La estructura de la magia I), Grindler y Bandler identificaron algunas reglas o patrones verbales que Perls y Satir utilizaban sistemática y espontáneamente en su comunicación, y que estaban en la base de la eficacia de su trabajo. El título de este primer libro (La estructura de la magia) expresa una de las convicciones básicas de la PNL: que toda tarea humana aparentemente mágica e inexplicable, tiene una estructura que puede ser identificada y transmitida. De esta convicción se deriva el objetivo que ha inspirado la creación y el desarrollo posterior de la PNL: identificar y describir el modelo de funcionamiento de cualquier habilidad especial y/o excepcional del ser humano, para que así pueda ser comunicada, comprendida y utilizada por cualquier persona que lo desee. Después de Grinder y Bandler, otros autores (Dilts, Andreas, McDonald, Hall) han modelado también a expertos en diferentes áreas de la actividad humana (educación, deporte, ventas, liderazgo organizacional) y han creado sus propias técnicas. La PNL es, pues, un conjunto de métodos y técnicas destinadas a ser aplicadas en la vida cotidiana, para que la persona consiga los objetivos que desea en diferentes campos de la actividad humana, y mejore su calidad de vida.

 There is a deep misunderstanding between Positive Thinking, Behavior Psychology, NLP all created in the USA and the Psychology found in Europe… The USA Psychology did’nt/don’t want to understand the impact of Traumas and suppressed negative emotions on our body, soul and mind… So, Freud, Jung, Adler, Wilhelm Reich were all wrong?The NLP designed by Richard Bandler, who was never a psychologist and has not studied psychology, thinks that negative emotions are bad and should be replaced by positive emotions… So, you learn to replace your negative life stories with positive stories that you have fabricated by yourself. This means you cheat yourself and R. Bandler is correct at this point we cheat ourselves always in any way… But every cheating will have over a long time period negative consequence…For instance, you got raped and then you imagine your dream partner have slept with you and you could enjoy that. So, you suppress your negative emotions to create positive emotions… and you love your rapist! Do you really think that this can work? The concept of the European Psychologists is to confront the patient with his trauma so that the patient has to relive his trauma. The patient is healed when he can tell without get emotionally the things that happened in that trauma… a painful process… That must be wrong after the opinion of R. Bandler (who had a PhD in chemistry)? The founder of EFT (the most successful therapy in the world) Gary Craig, was a previous NLP practitioner and has discovered that every Trauma will cause a severe disease over a long time period… With NLP we learn to suppress negative emotions. With EFT we can release our Traumas and change, so our life!The Chinese traditional healing and the Ayurvedic are based on the knowledge that negative emotions or energy blocks caused by negative suppressed feelings are the cause of our diseases… There are all wrong?Freud and his students have used hypnosis to release the traumas… The patient is in hypnosis, he sleeps when his trauma happened and so he doesn’t have to feel the trauma, still the trauma with the energy blockages is released…  I am also a certified Hypnotist, (beside that I am a therapist for Bioenergetic, Encounter, EFT, Eye-movement therapy)…  I have released the traumas with hypnosis and it works. Yes, you sleep and your psycho-problems get solved with hypnosis! Perfect solution… Freud was correct! I have read the book: “Get the life you want” by Richard Bandler… and written a negative review on Amazon. My Video: Why is NLP unhealthy? https://youtu.be/xbfDqBCUnQgMy Audio: https://rudizimmerer.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Why+is+NLP+unhealthy.mp3Enable GingerCannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection or reload the browserDisable in this text fieldEditEdit in GingerEdit in Ginger×

Qu'est-ce que la PNL? "La PNL est un concept que l’on pourrait qualifier de new-age dont l’objet principal est de mettre en relation les représentations mentales, le langage, la mémoire, les idées et les comportements. La PNL a ainsi créé des passerelles entre toutes ces facettes pour les combiner et assister des objectifs de performance, qu’ils soient personnels, sportifs, thérapeutiques." Inventé par John Grinder et Richard Bandler, dans les années 70 Bandler: master en psychologie, jamais fait de recherche Grinder: docteur en linguistique, chercheur (c'est lui le génie) Mais c'est une marque déposée… par l'un des fondateurs (Bandler) qui revendique que son système soit un art et pas une science - mais l'ensemble du système utilise un vocabulaire pseudo-scientifique! Les outils de la PNL - Linguistiques - Thérapeutiques - Mouvements oculaires - VAKOG (canaux sensoriels) Pourquoi la PNL est une pseudoscience La PNL est une pseudoscience: elle utilise un vocabulaire scientifique mais ignore les canons scientifiques habituels (études comparées, études longitudinales, études quantitatives, publications revues par les pairs, etc.) La PNL utilise des concepts scientifiques, elle les amalgame par des combinaisons qui ne sont ni logiques ni justifiées par la théorie ou l’expérience La PNL propose des solutions à des problèmes dont la psychologie académique a depuis longtemps, et de manière fiable et démontrée, apporté des réponses (la PNL date des années 70, époque à laquelle la psychologie n'avait pas fait les avancées actuelles) Les preuves de l’efficacité de la PNL dans le coaching sont quasi-inexistantes Après environ 50 ans d’existence, toujours aucune trace de l'efficacité de la PNL Autant parler de coaching quantique ou de marabout. Pourquoi est-ce important? Parce qu'utiliser des théories non prouvées scientifiquement est dangereux: - Les concepts ne sont pas validés - Les outils ne sont pas validés Validé = lien causal démontré (théorie, pratique) entre l'utilisation de l'outil et son effet Oui, mais... - Echec de la science à expliquer ses méthodes et ses résultats? - Milieu académique pas vraiment intéressé? Conclusion "Si la question de l’utilité de la PNL reste au mieux en suspens, le minimum serait de s’abstenir de recommander ces techniques ou de les présenter comme une solution objective et fiable aux problèmes qu’elle prétend résoudre."

In this episode, Leah Silber, CEO of Tilde, Inc. and Ember.js core team member talks about what she's learned building communities, organizing events, and running a business. We talk about how people can move from "observer" to "participant" and grow their own healthy communities and companies. Links: Leah Silber: EmberConf 2016: The Morning-After Post-Mortem Event Driven: How to Run Memorable Tech Conferences Transcript: CHARLES: Hello everybody and welcome to the Frontside Podcast, Episode 43. I am Charles Lowell. I'm here with Brandon Hays, and a very, very special guest. Brandon, do you want to introduce her? BRANDON: Yeah, we're here with Leah Silber. She runs Tilde? 'Tild'? I always say this incorrectly. LEAH: You can't be saying it incorrectly. When we named the company, we knew we were choosing one of those names where people are going to say it and you just have to accept it. That's fate and that's how it goes. We usually say 'til-de' here. BRANDON: Okay, I'll say Tilde, and you can say 'Frontsi-de'. CHARLES: The way you say Tilde says more about you, than it does about us. BRANDON: Yeah, it's a verbal Rorschach test. We were really, really glad to have your time. We know that people actually work with you as a consultant for these kinds of things to help with communities, conferences, build their businesses. So, you have a lot of gathered expertise around these things. Would you tell us a little bit about yourself, about your background, what you do and kind of how you got involved in tech and running businesses? LEAH: Sure, not unlike an elevator pitch but I have been working in open source startups and companies, I want to say it's probably been like 10 years now or crazy something like that. But my first open source project that I was seriously involved in was jQuery, and that was a long time ago and it was pretty magical in retrospect because jQuery was, at the time, it was like coming out of nowhere. Nobody thought it was going to really make a dent in technology. John Resig was this clearly brilliant but still this nobody, sort of working on this project in his spare time, and Yehuda Katz jumped in and a bunch of other people earlier at the beginning. It was a time in the ecosystem where they were a little bit laughed at the room. In retrospect, there was a time when the ecosystem was a little more rude, like some of the competitive behaviors that happened back then. Thankfully, it just wouldn't fly right now. But it's been super cool to be involved with something and be able to witness something at the ground floor where this little idea and project that nobody takes seriously because there are these seemingly massive projects and landscape, and then just sort of watch it take over the world. It was a process obviously that took a little while. But again, in retrospect, it didn't take all that long, so that was really an amazing experience to watch. It was also my first really intense open source community learning experience. Everything from witnessing what kind of personalities got involved and how they did it, to watching John who sort of -- I want to say he's a consummate politician, but he's not a political person. I guess what I mean, he's just really good at people. CHARLES: He's like a diplomat? LEAH: He is. But like the sort of diplomat where you're in a battle and then suddenly a treaty happens and you just don't even know what happened but everybody's happy and you vaguely remember that you all hated each other a few minutes ago. He's really talented. Obviously, also having the technical chops to build something impressive helps with that. But watching how different personalities in open source interacted with each other, and even just for myself, like learning how to be a good open source citizen and learning how to contribute to a project and finding a way as a non-coder at the time to be useful in an open source project was really amazing. That was something I was involved with for a number of years. Then, slowly as time went on, I got involved in other projects and other events. And along the way, I was like, "This is really fun. Why am I working not in technology but doing this at night." Well pretty early on, I moved out from New York to California which is, I guess, the rite of passage or at least was. Got a job at my first startup, spent a couple years there, sort of again learning everything in fast forward because that's how startups work. I've done that a couple of different times over the years, thankfully not that many. I've managed to have what I consider impressive stability in a startup land where people can end up needing to change jobs, projects and positions very rapidly. Nowadays, I mostly focus on Ember work. There was a big chunk of time in the middle where I was focused on Ruby on Rails work. I do events, conferences, meet up groups, community management. A lot of the less glamorous stuff involved in once a project does become more successful, like figuring out a governance strategy, and figuring out how you protect your brand and what happens when lawyers and PR people and all these other different industry people start coming at you with all these questions that you hadn't thought about. How much infrastructure is too much infrastructure? What happens when the project starts having money? All these sorts of things. I feel like I've lived through a bunch of projects and their growing pains, and have a really solid understanding of the different routes. I'm still learning every day, and that's kind of why I love it. I started with my co-founders, I started my own company about five years ago which I'm always pleased and astonished to still be existing. Obviously, I watched companies spin up and die down overnight in the fast-paced technology sector. So, I'm a fan of stability and continuing to exist, is basically the top of my list. But that was about five years ago now, and it's been really great. I would never previously have identified myself as an entrepreneur. I had this, I want to say now, misconception that I was a support person, that I was the perfect second-in-command that I needed somebody at the top of the food chain who had these brilliant ideas and then I would be the person who would come in and say, "Great idea. Let me make it happen for you," and like operations and execution. At some point, I realized that that's not real. There's no reason that the person who has ideas has to be more in-charge than the person who makes ideas happened, like these two skill sets, if they're not in the same person are equally necessary. I think that was probably a little bit of standard sort of impostor syndrome kind of stuff. And also, there's a lot of pressure involved in thinking about yourself as in-charge of something important with high stakes. But I don't know. At some point, I think I watched enough people do the job and I served as that second-in-command or upper management kind of role for a lot of people. I realized that primarily, the difference between the people who were running the show as figureheads and the people who were actually running the show day to day, the difference primarily was just boldness. Like one of them had the audacity to say, "I can be in charge. I'm going to start a company. I'm going to do this." And that's not actually that big of delta so 'fake it until you make it'. BRANDON: I kind of want to lock in on that concept a little bit. I don't want to let that just float by on the river. That is something that has been such a profound lesson in my life over the last six months or a year that I think, a lot of us that wind up running companies kind of fall into that by accident or happenstance or something. You always have this weird left over hope from times where you work for other people, that somebody will step in and be in charge. It's a deal where everybody stands on the line and like, "Okay, whoever wants to step forward, step forward, and everybody steps back but you." And that feeling of being the last person standing when everybody else has backed, just by nature of not stepping back, you realized, "Oh, you know what --” Like there is such a thing as an operationally oriented CEO. So it really is the idea that you just said, it really is a matter of boldness and being willing to be the person, where the buck stops, is really the only difference between a person that feels like a really great second-in-command versus the person that feels like they could be running things. LEAH: There's just this magical myth of the big important idea person. Anything that's going to be successful or most things are going to be successful I guess, they're rarely just one person sitting on a mountain. One person starts with a shred of an idea, and then everybody around them sort of helps turn it into something real. So it could really be anybody who has that first instinct that it doesn't mean that that person has to be in-charge. CHARLES: I'm wondering, if there's any parallels there between, "Have you borrowed any of that boldness through community?" Or has there been any bouncing back and forth about lesson in terms of somebody has to take the lead on something. LEAH: Actually, it's harder a little bit in community stuff because taking a lead typically means or we think it typically means making a decision. I think that's where in open source, a lot of people go wrong, and a lot of open source projects end up with a top down management strategy where somebody is in-charge and that person tells them what's going to happen and then everybody, for example, freaks out about backwards compatibility. Then they're like, "Oh, yeah. I got a plan for this." But part of that is like you see a power vacuum and you think like, "Okay, I can step up and take this." But in open source, that's not really the ideal way or at least not in the philosophy of most of the projects that I've been in which is you only need to ask people what they think along the way, differently than in a professional environment. Like in Ember, we have the RFP process where we source a feedback before we make massive changes. That just makes everything, like you can even really say, "This is the exact thing I want to do," and you can lay out a really great plan and take that leadership role. But in a framework where it's not an edict, in a framework where it's like, "Okay, now everybody else, what do you think about it? How can you improve my idea?" And there's a whole bunch of things that happen. The first and most obvious is your idea gets better because people point out things that you didn't think of or don't necessarily personally have the experience or have noticed. But also, people just feel consulted in a way that is more critical. I like to think people want to feel consulted in work environments also. But I guess when you're the boss, you can get away with just saying, "This is the policy. I made the policy." In open source, people won't really let that fly. You can't just say, "This is a feature set. I've made this. That's the rule." Certainly not if you want them to use your project and contribute to your project and help you be successful. There are some similar things to think about when running a company versus running an open source project. But essentially, the project has to be a significantly more collaborative environment that makes people feel invested in the project and want to stick around and want to become other contributors so that the project can grow, succeed, and have a lot of people involved rather than just one-idea person. BRANDON: I was listening to a podcast recently that I can't remember which one it was but the people were talking about a different tech community and their definition of community really surprised me and it made me realize that people have different definitions for what a community is. LEAH: Wildly. BRANDON: Yeah, and so I'm curious about what your definition, in terms of an open source community, what it is and what it's job is for that open source project? LEAH: I don't have a dictionary definition and in a lot of cases, it's kind of a feel. Like I like to talk about sometimes how the different communities I've been involved with had a different feel. In an indirect fashion, a lot of what your community is comes from the people who are theoretically in charge, be that your core team, or your benevolent dictator, or whoever sort of the thought leader. That person or people really influence the kind of community that you create with their behavior. For example, the kind of community where the person in charge just tells you what the project is going to do next and does it, has a very different feel where the person in charge says, "Here are my thoughts. What do you guys think about it? How do you want us to do this? Do you have suggestions? Did I miss anything?" I think if there's enough premeditation and consideration that goes into the decisions that that person makes, that he or she can really shape a positive community, a collaborative community, and a supportive community. In Ember, we have managed to collect a group of amazing people who want to help each other, want to support each other, and who are enthusiastic about what's happening, and on most good days who don't freak out when they get a little worried that something isn't happening the way they want it to because they can trust that they're going to have a period of input and their needs are going to at least be considered. You don't always get the exact thing that you want. But it's a lot better if you know that your concerns were heard, evaluated, and maybe there's some other plan or way to sort of not completely screw you, basically. Ember's been really good at taking care of people and their needs even as the user base is more needy in different changing ways. I guess a community is a living breathing thing. For sure, it changes. I'm oftentimes sort of paying attention to the undercurrent of what happened, what's going to be the outcome of this? Having chats with people, especially people in theoretical leadership roles, about different ways to handle different situations that will keep as many people as possible, happy and supported. BRANDON: As you were describing that, to me, it feels like you've highlighted something interesting about communities, which is, you can use a theme and not be a part of its community. Somebody could use Ember and not choose to be a part of the Ember community. But participating in a community is kind of the desire to influence that thing in some way. Like, when you say they want to have their needs represented and they want to be a part of the RFC process, there is some part of it where I guess a lot of it has to do with just any kind of connection with other people who do the same thing or probably do the textbook one. But I also feel for a lot of people, there's a desire to be able to have their needs represented and met and feel like they are somehow a part of the direction of this thing, as well. LEAH: Yeah. It totally varies based on your personality. Some people just want to feel like they are a part of it. Even if they feel like their interests are well represented, you see people all the time looking for small ways to contribute because it's fun. It's exciting. There's progress happening, there's success, it's something that isn't like a lot of other opportunities that you have especially if you've been in some other industry, or some other kind of job. You don't always have this thing where you can sort of be part of an organism and a community and watch something evolve and maybe even have input in it, or just have 40 friends around the world who want to chat with you about it at any given time. It's fun. BRANDON: A question that I have in terms of following up on that is your role on the Ember side of things, I'm assuming and I want you to clarify if I'm not hitting it properly. My understanding of your role in the Ember ecosystem, in addition to handling a lot of the unglamorous logistical components is to help kind of grow and foster that style of community and Ember's become pretty well-known for having a unique focus on quality of community. I'm wondering if that's intentional or if there are things that you do or if it's sort of been luck. I don't know how much intentionality has gone into that or how much the community design has gone into that. LEAH: For sure, it's mixed. There's a lot of things where select events are really good example of setting the tone. And there's like an evolution of events that I like to follow in some of my newer growing communities that I'm focusing on where you start out with a little more of a campy feel, it's a little scrappy. And slowly, you iterate to get into a much more professional feel. But all along the way at those stages, having that event, the logistically top quality really sort of changes the tone of everything. If you show up to an event and it sort of haphazard and no one knows what's happening, you might all love each other and you probably will have a good time. But it's a different experience than one where it's sort of run like a well-oiled machine where you get a sense of people take this seriously. This is real. This is impressive. We're building big, amazing things together. We can accomplish together. So some of it is just on all the little things. Event is just one sort of example. But all the little things that go into the well-rounded ecosystem, I try and focus on quality so that obviously, there's a whole bunch of people focusing on the quality of the code. But I also want to focus on the quality of the events and the website and helping meet ups run quality events around the world and helping people show off that they use Ember and are proud. Any sort of these peripheral things -- the better you execute them, the more of an overall, "Wow! This is real. This is serious. I can stake my professional future on this." The more of that kind of a feeling that you're going to get. Community growth is organic in a lot of ways, obviously. But there are certainly things that you can do along the way to help foster the community growth. There's like personality things like making sure everyone's actually welcoming, and that people want to come and get to know you and work with you and get involved in your technology. There's things like the tactical processes of our RFC. Making sure there are ways for people technically to get involved. There's things like a focus on documentation, which again just makes it easy. So, it's really an overall quality thing every step along the way, and a lot of community overlook the parts of building community that aren't code. You can do that but you end up on a different trajectory than a project where you pay attention to all the peripheral things. CHARLES: So, I'm actually curious because I've witnessed the things that you've done like on a grand scale which definitely have had that air of quality that you're talking about. But I'm curious about these kind of nascent communities that you're talking about and kind of just, one, just curious about what they are because I'm curious. Then the second is, for people who might be speaking of doing something similarly, like starting something small that they want to grow into something huge, but actually that concrete, small scope. What are the things you can do with limited resources, if you have limited resources and you've got a small scope, what can you do to imbue it with that sense of quality that will carry you to higher places? LEAH: I guess the first thing to think about, and I hope this does not sound bad, but is whether or not your project actually needs a community. By that I mean I certainly think open source projects should all be actual open source projects. So you should accept pull requests, you should let people file issues, you should have collaborators, etcetera. But there have been a lot of projects along the way that I've been involved with helping with where we looked at it and said this doesn't need to be a community. This doesn't need to have a conference every year, or it'll have some sort of community right just amongst people who contribute but it doesn't need to be like Ember, like Rails. We're a whole giant ecosystem that spins up. For example, over the years, there have been projects like Handlebars, Bandler, and Thor. These are projects that tremendous numbers of people use. You don't run into anyone who says like, "I'm a member of the Thor community." And that's perfectly fine, right? There's sort of a version of a project where you have an MVP, you have a good website, you have good docs, you have a bunch of contributors, and that's all you really need. Then there's the version where you want it to be a much bigger, more involved setup. So one community that, I would say, in a nascent stage right now is the Rust community, which I've been peripherally involved with. I'm not on the team. I'm not doing significant community masterminding but I have been working with some people in the project to do agree with me on the value of this quality. And so, I've helped them. We just ran Rust Conf this last weekend which was their first conference. It was 250 people in Portland. It was really, really fantastic. I've worked with them on, for example, making quality swag over the years and trying to figure out what level of control over their brand. It's not too much but still protects the brand enough, things like that. They've also modeled some of their governance kind of stuff after the Ember community which makes sense. Yehuda is involved in both projects and he's a big proponent of a lot of that stuff. But it's been really cool to watch. Like first Rust was saying, "Oh, this how Ember does it. Let's crib some of that stuff." Now, in a lot of cases, Ember is saying, "Oh, wow! Look how Rust is doing that. Let's take that back." It's been a very good symbiotic back and forth relationship. But it really just does take the people who are leading intellectually to decide that they care about quality, to decide that they care about a collaborative community environment, to decide that they care about diversity, to decide that they care about all of these little things along the way. The earlier people recognize that these are things you need to care about, the better job that you can do. You can always sort of ride the ship most of the time. But if you start out on the right path to begin with, you're going to be able to accomplish so much more because you don't have that much course correcting to do. There is obviously, also always course correcting in Ember, in Rust, in Rails, everywhere, where somebody not speaking about code but somebody takes a misstep and the whole community sort of has to figure out like, "Okay, this is not the way we want. This is the kind of interaction to go. How are we going to fix this?" Or, "This is not the way we want. There's kind of major technical decisions to be made. How are we going to fix this?" It's an evolution. It's a collaboration. I'm absolutely a fan of the core team entity and of that core team being a medium sized group. Not tiny but a medium sized group of people who bring really, really different things to the table in terms of who they are, their backgrounds and their skills. For example, this serves me well but I am a fan of core teams that have non-coders on the core team. There's a lot of stuff that can get done for a project that doesn't involve writing a line of code. Now, obviously you want to have somebody around who understands open source and the strategy. It is in fact challenging to find people who don't have to be coders but also appreciate all this other stuff and want to be involved in it. But when you can find people like that, that's the really magical key to this more well-rounded community. I like to say, engineers are basically superheroes. They can sort of think of something and then create it and that is the power that most other kinds of people don't have. I mean, maybe contractors and welders, but if you are working at a desk job somewhere, there's not really much that you can conceive of where you have an idea, you write it down, you spend a couple months then it exists, it works, it actively changes your life. One of the downsides of that amazing superpower is that engineers can oftentimes get into a position where they think anything is possible and they don't recognize that just because they can figure out how to do something doesn't necessarily mean that they are the best people to do that thing. That comes into play a lot with these other qualitative things in an ecosystem. So, you can go to a lot of technical conferences and wonder, sort of, why is the quality not quite there? In a lot of cases, the answer is because the person in charge is not particularly skilled in this area. They are coder. They can write brilliant code but do they know how to think about where the lunch line is going to queue up and make sure that it's going to go through the phase, and that there's enough bathrooms and stuff like that. These are very vastly different skill sets. One of the past successes there is to sort of realize, "Yes, I can probably pull this off." But if I can find somebody for whom this is a natural area of expertise and I can focus on my area of expertise. Like, wow. We'll be able to accomplish so much more and everything will be better all around. BRANDON: I think you've hit on something there again that I've seen since moving into technology from -- I come from a non-technology background and there is a sense outside of this industry that people kind of have different areas of expertise. When you are an engineer, your job -- I actually think a lot of it stems from the fact that your job is to become an expert in the field of other people's jobs. So, your job is to automate something so you have to know enough about marketing to do marketing software. Then you have to know about enough about this other thing to do this other thing. So you think that you can learn anything and it's true that you can learn anything but there's a skill tree associated with each of those things. You don't realize, you're a junior level conference organizer, and maybe it might be worth talking to a senior level conference organizer. We've definitely fallen victim to that many times where we thought, "Oh, you know what? I'm pretty good at the technology side. I can give a conference talk. I must be probably pretty good at education." And it turns out that education is a multi-thousand year old skill tree that is pretty well-defined. LEAH: One of the hard parts in thinking about this for me is, I really like the MVP concept that I have taken from technology, which is you don't have to get it right. Get something out there. Figure out what the bare minimum version of whatever it is you're trying to accomplish is. Ship it, iterate. I like that and I talk about a lot of things in my life in that frame which is kind of weird when I talk to my parents about iterating on things and what not. For example, in a decision about child rearing. "Oh, my God. The first one is this way." It's a very useful way of thinking about things and I am a fan in many things of actually applying it to areas all over your life. But for something like how to run a small conference, you oftentimes don't need an MVP. You don't need to go through the stage of that level of quality because you can just work with somebody who's already learned all those lessons and already done those things. It's not like a greenfield code project where somebody has to actually start from the baseline every time it's a new project and build up all the infrastructure. You can just skip right to the front of the line. Find someone who's good at this and start out initially at a much higher level of quality. BRANDON: I want to kind of dig into that a little bit and ask about you wrote a really great blog post earlier this year about your experiences running Ember Conf. It's so obvious the amount of effort and kind of thought, not just effort, but like directed effort and thought that goes into building a really great experience for people. I'm wondering if you have like certain areas that you look for and noticing whether somebody has really put a lot of thought into designing a good conference experience for somebody. If somebody were hoping to do something like that, what are some of the areas that tell you that you're dealing with like a really good, thoughtfully designed conference? Or where does that effort go basically when you run through the process? You only have so much time and effort you can put into this thing to create that experience, not the minimum viable conference, but the conference when you look at the division of your time and doing conference stuff. I think people wind up being surprised how much goes toward one thing or another. LEAH: I'm not entirely sure how to answer that question because you don't usually get insights into what people are doing along the way. I go to fewer conferences these days because I find myself irritated. I don't even like the way it sounds but it's kind of true, where I go to a conference and I'm really trying to focus on the content and I'm really trying to focus on the goodwill of the people who are organizing it. Oftentimes, it's just so many moments where I'm like, "That should be better quality." Like it is very easy to get that right. You just need to have thought about that. You just need to plan for that. I don't think there's many opportunities to sort of figure out those things ahead of time from somebody else to make an assessment of how a show is going to go. I can say that there are sometimes things that I see on just the websites where I'm like, "Oh, that is not a good sign." There are tools around for most of the things that you would want to do like selling your tickets and collecting information, and the online pre- event functionality. It's rarely a good sign when you see someone build their own. It's sort of another engineer foible kind of thing. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. It takes substantial energy to reinvent the wheel. If you go with something that already exists, you can focus for example, on all this other quality stuff. But there's also sort of the way in which people build the content of their conference, like that's super telling. Maybe not even so much about logistics but it is pretty telling about the community or at least the people running a show as a representation of the community. For example, I think it's pretty much conventional wisdom these days that you want to have blind call for papers. It's not reasonable to me when I see someone not do it that way. I understand that small events maybe just go invitation in the first year or two. I think that's actually a pretty justifiable thing. We don't have the critical mass yet to get enough submissions in for a program, or we're not really sure how to execute on that, and our community has these specific people who we know are really talented and will do a good job. I think you end up with usually a subpar roster that way because you don't have the variety of experience that you'd be able to attract in a call for papers. But what's super weird to me is, yes, we're going to do a call for papers but we're not going to go the classic extras steps that open source and technology as a whole has learned that will really help this task go better and help eliminate latent biases and things like that. That's kind of weird. I still see it sometimes. I find myself confused by it. I suspect more than anything that people just haven't thought of it or don't know how to execute on the strategy that a lot of other conferences has figured out a successful. I don't know, part of the reason I don't like to go to conferences so much is I remember when I was making all these mistakes, and I don't want to be that person who's really critical of someone who's trying to do something good but it's hard. Once you have that experience and once you sort of know better, it's hard to watch somebody else stumble over the same things you stumbled over. You feel like, "You should know that. I know that." CHARLES: So, is there a community of conference organizers? It seems like they need to be some sort of meta conference or some sort of meta community of community organizers. BRANDON: There is Conf Conf. CHARLES: Are you serious? LEAH: I might not be impressive enough to go to something called Conf Conf. I don't know. A lot of those things actually when you get to, "Oh, it's industry, upper-tier collaborator events." They're often times invitation kind of things and I'm not very cool. I don't know. I see things like that sometimes. There's this conference about speakers. It's like speakers conf – CHARLES: Oh, speakers conf, yeah, and it's like in Aruba. LEAH: It seems cool but I'm always like, "How do you get invited to that?" CHARLES: Yeah, that's the part -- BRANDON: How do you get into that club? LEAH: I know people who should be there and don't know it exists, or people who should be there but just - I don't know, no one has invited them, and it's invitational. It's hard to say. But I guess what I was going to say is over the years, I have at times belonged to different online forums that were trying to scratch that itch. The most successful one was probably for a good five, six years. There was a very active community of conference organizers in the Ruby space. But I think most of those people have either stopped doing conferences or gotten to a place where they just don't need that much help anymore, and there hasn't been like an influx of new people doing it. So there isn't really any strong community like that that I belong to today. That's a challenge in anything you face, where once you don't need the help anymore, people don't stick around to help the other people and it's hard to sort of organize that way. BRANDON: That sounds like a big opportunity to me. But it sounds like an opening or a hole for providing something like that. Do you do any consulting for people on this? Do people hire you to help design a conference experience? Because I know that the ones you've put together -- you're pretty well-known for being one of the best in the business for this. LEAH: Thank you, I think. No pressure at all. I do consulting, though obviously, that's mostly for companies and not communities because communities don't typically have money for that sort of thing. In communities, you need to create your own experts, and in an ideal world, there are people who recognize that when they're at the beginning of the learning curve, they should reach out to people who are further along and benefit from their experience and do things like read blog post and books and what not. The blog post that you mentioned earlier, it was absurdly long. I was surprised that anybody read it and then a lot of people read it. I was surprised because of the length but I was also surprised in the way that it's difficult to come up with a conference talk where you're sort of like, "I know all this stuff," but I don't know what amongst this knowledge base is interesting to other people, and I don't know what other people don't know and I know the stuff so obviously, it's not impressive. But I sort of forced myself to write it anyway because it was just such a big endeavor and there were thoughts even for myself that I wanted to preserve for later. Then I was pleasantly surprised by how many people read it and had comments and had useful things to say, or even just like, "I appreciate how much thought went into XYZ. I wouldn't have thought that. It was value that came out of that blog post that I didn't think of at the beginning. The value of other people getting a chance to recognize what kind of thought and planning needs to go into having something like that execute flawlessly, or dealing with things when they don't execute flawlessly. BRANDON: One thing that that was an obvious expenditure of effort, because you started so early in the process, many months before the conference was the Women Helping Women Initiative. I saw that really early on. I actually don't think that was precedented in conference organizing. Can you tell us a little bit about that? I don't remember how far in advance it was, I just remember thinking it was absurdly far in advance and very well thought out and very well designed. LEAH: Well, it was early. For example, I actually have to email the Women Helping Women group today with a long list of thoughts and activities for next year. I feel like I'm super behind because it's September 15th and the conference is at the end of March. Last year, I think we were already talking basically like 2, 3 weeks after the previous year's conference had ended. So basically, I looked at the conference in 2015 and it was great. I was really happy with most areas of it but I was not happy with the representation of women. There's so many groups that in fact, the conference would benefit from that representation of, but women was obviously a target that I thought I could potentially bring something to the table on being a woman in technology and in Ember. I spent some time thinking about all the various women in tech efforts. I have been involved over the years in a lot of things that felt good and said good things but at the end of the day didn't seem to accomplish very much. Right from the beginning, I wanted it to be a tactical effort. I wanted it to be like a short term pipeline of, "We put this in one end and we get this out the other end, and we have accomplished XYZ." Because it's important to have lots of organizations that make people who are under-represented in any community feel good and feel welcome. But it's also just as important and a little bit less prominent, in most cases, to have those same people then become leaders in that community. That' sreally sort of a signal to everybody else that they're welcome and that they can accomplish things. I looked at our community and I thought there are already, actually, really awesome women here. Not as many as I'd like. But I know a lot of women who are impressive and who are like, "Why aren't they on stage?" So, I sort of approached the effort last year from the perspective of there's a lot of organizations out there working on the women in technology pipeline problem, and it's a very real problem. Hopefully, they're going to do a solid job. There's a lot of insights and I'm watching and it's cool. But I want to focus on the problem of -- let's not call it a problem -- but I want to focus on the situation of the people who are already here and helping them take those leadership roles and step up and really join the community at every level. Not just at the entry level. We've come in through the fix the pipeline problem setup. CHARLES: And then hope everything kind of magically works itself out from there. LEAH: Yeah, which shockingly, it doesn't. I don't know... We spent many, many months basically supporting people at every step along the way from, "I want to go to this conference," to, "I'm a speaker at this conference." And we did things like brainstorming about what kind of proposals people could submit. We helped each other once we had a critical mass of a bunch of talented women. We helped each other with our proposals. We helped each other with our ideas. I organized podcasts where the program committee did question and answer sessions with the women. We did some hangouts where women who had more experience than the rest of us came and talked about their first time speaking or their experience getting to know a community or their experience learning to code and we encourage each other in a lot of ways. It's just a really positively pushy support group. We encourage each other. It's funny because it was hard along the way sometimes because you don't want to be too pushy. I was always worried and sort of dancing on that line of, "I want to repeat to you, you can clearly do this. You have said things. You have accomplished things, look at your education, look at your career. You are obviously, obviously good enough and impressive enough to be on the stage and I want to keep reminding you of that so you do it. But I also don't want you to feel like you are being bullied into it." Not everybody wants to be a leader. Not everybody wants to be in a role of getting up on stage and giving a talk. I had a couple of the participants come talk to me or email me after the program saying, "That was really helpful. That was the nudge that I needed." So that made me feel good about the various interactions along the way and it's always just going to be something that you have to do in a very sensitive manner. But there are women that I knew that were here that were talented and then so many women that just came out of the woodwork where I was sort of like, "I know your name or I didn't know you at all," and like, "Why don't I know your name? You're incredible. You're better than half the people I see on stage at a conference." And so we worked on this for months and months and months. I got a bunch of women in the community who were in sort of transitional leadership roles which is I thought, "Hey, you're a community leader," but they weren't sure they were a community leader yet. I got a lot of people like that involved to help nudge along all the other people who could potentially be our next batch of community leaders. I don't know... It was really amazing and you have to pad the numbers every step along the way and at the end of the day, you actually want a conference with impressive representation of anyone. So you have to get significantly more than you need into the pipeline thinking about it, and then significantly more than you need actually submitting and then hopefully at the end of the tunnel when everything shakes out, you'll get a reasonable number of people right. Because obviously things get filtered out and at every step of the way. There's a lot of other people that you're competing with. Overall, the quality of the proposals from the women was astonishing. It was a blind call for papers process in terms of the program committee. But as the administrator, who doesn't get a vote in these things, I was managing the app that handle the voting during the process of picking our speaker and all that kind of stuff. I was just astonished by watching quietly in the background how all these ratings came in and nobody knew they were doing this but the proposals from the women were on average, like dramatically better than everybody else. I'm not like saying, "Oh, yay! We're better." I'm sure a lot of that had to do with the amount of thought that went into it because even a seasoned conference submitter who spoke in a lot of conferences might get to a point where they're sort of cranking out a proposal in a week or even a month, and a lot of these women spent six months thinking about it. But all that hard work showed in the proposals, all that hard work showed in the roster, and I really want that hard work to show around the community. Part of what I'm trying to focus on this year is how do we take that from being the EmberConf Women Helping Women program to being the general Ember Women Helping Women program. Because after EmberConf, I felt like I could really help other conferences change their way that their rosters grew. Specifically before that EmberConf, you did have a lot of well-meaning organizer saying, "I want more women represented at my conference but I can't find them." Now, I think there's certainly ways to do it and there's a lot of clever ways to meet people and encourage people. But when push comes to shove, and it's in that moment, you would just run into a lot of organizer saying, "Well, I don't know what to do. It's an open process. Anyone can submit." And now, they could look at our conference and see there's a dozen women who are clearly talented and capable. I'm going to go to all 12 of those people and ask them to submit to my conference. Maybe some of them will and maybe that will help. It's a small step but I started seeing the women who spoke at EmberConf who a lot of them hadn't spoken anywhere beforehand, pop up at conferences all over the place. So, I sort of felt like the effect was magnified and we were able to really... I don't want to say like we, all of us women together, were able to help each other not just at Ember Conf but in a larger way. We're focusing a lot on that this year or I should say, we're going to start on how can we expand the program to be a resource that helps women take leadership roles and speaking opportunities across the JavaScript ecosystem so that Ember is really truly well represented by the people who actually make up the community. BRANDON: I think it's super clear that the thought process that you put into this was well designed enough and the work that went into it was consistent enough that you both got a huge uptick in the number of women represented at the conference. But also actually overall, the quality of conference talks went up year every year as a result of all of that additional preparation. And the encouraging people from backgrounds that had something to say that maybe felt like they didn't have something to say, instead of seeing the same faces over and over again, they went all the way across the board and it ended up showing and being a better quality conference experience for attendees for that. LEAH: It turns out the diversity is actually awesome. It's not just the thing that you should talk about and put on a list because it's politically correct. But in fact, things will be better if there are more people represented from different backgrounds with different experiences, different skills, different everything. You felt it everywhere you went and felt like you were hearing new things, interesting things, and perspectives that maybe weren't always as well represented. My biggest sad point about things is I'm trying to tackle the community of women but there are so many other communities that could also be better represented in Ember and in technology at large. And I would really love for more people to step up and sort of focus. It's hard to get involved in an effort like this because it's hard to get any traction and also because honestly, there's a lot of concern about, "Am I going to do it right? Am I going to make the problem worse?" All those sorts of self-doubt issues that are legit and based on having seen other people out in the world make a good faith effort trying to fix a problem but like say something wrong and get in huge trouble. It's just challenging and it requires a lot of thought. Even me, as I talk about this right now, I'm stressed out and I'm like, "Am I using the right words? Am I going to say the wrong thing?" But it's still worth doing. And if you're persistent and you work hard, you can really, really change things and have a positive impact. BRANDON: Well, I think it sets forward a lot of good patterns for other people trying to do this thing and I think when you talk about this being scary, the point is that it's not going to be scary. It's very scary so it makes it super brave that you're attempting that stuff. I think the impact is certainly on me. I found that pretty inspiring. Certainly at the Frontside, we found it inspiring. I hope it inspires other people in other communities to follow the same patterns. LEAH: Yeah, I hope so. I mean if there are women or anybody else that feels like they have something to contribute to really improving the landscape of who our leadership is and making sure each they are represented, I guess I would encourage those people to step up. It's the same thing as being a CEO or being the second-in-command. You just need to have the boldness to decide that you're going to try and make a difference. In the Women Helping Women program specifically, I've been talking to a lot of the women that I met last year about how can you take more of a leadership role in the program? For example, I was talking a week ago to somebody who's a student in the Women Helping Women program and I was like, "I can't represent your concerns as well as you can." I was in college at some point but that was a very long time ago, and there are just perspectives that you're going to have that I'm not going to have. Even within the women's group, there's like different perspectives and I've been working with people and encouraging them to try and work with me on taking leadership roles within the program itself. So many well-meaning programs like this, by the way, like spin up, have some success and then go away because the person-in-charge got busy and that's the end of that. It's similar to a community in that if it's going to be a long term successful effort, or at least as long term as it's necessary, I'm really going to need other people in the community to step up and find ways to be involved so that I'm not actually important to the success of this anymore. Instead, it's a whole group of people and there's no one single point of failure. BRANDON: When that happens, I can't wait to read that particular blog post. When you're able to kind of demonstrate the process for other people to be able to follow and, "Hey, look at this thing. It kind of runs itself now." That sounds really awesome and you're definitely -- LEAH: Fingers crossed. BRANDON: Yeah, you're kind of off road because you're helping to find some of the things that may influence other communities, as well. So, I think that's super cool. LEAH: I hope so. BRANDON: All right. We need to get let you get back to CEO-ing. You have a company to run and you have a whole life and everything. LEAH: I'm going to put on my business jacket as soon as I hang up on you and get back to work. BRANDON: You're in Portland. It would be a like a business hoodie probably, right? LEAH: Sort of. I have this really nice blazer. It literally changes my mind some days. I'm like, "Oh, I'm not getting enough done." I'm going to put out my business blazer. Then, they shift into over drive. BRANDON: All right. We'll get your business blazer and get to business-ing. That actually sounds like a cool little business life hack. LEAH: Yeah. BRANDON: Well, thank you so much for your time on this stuff. We got about halfway through the questions I want to talk to you about so I hope we get a shot at doing this again. I really love learning from you on this stuff. I've learned a ton from your writing. I've learned a ton from watching you work and I really appreciate all you do for the Ember community, the JavaScript community, all the stuff you've done for the Ruby community. You've had a really big impact, and so it's really great to talk to somebody that kind of sets a pattern of how these things are possible. I hope that good fortune continues to follow you as you're bold in doing these things. So, thank you for all the stuff that you do. LEAH: Thank you. I hope so, as well. It's been fun. CHARLES: Thank you. All right, goodbye everybody. BRANDON: So, bye everybody. If you have any questions or anybody else that you'd like us to talk to, let us know. If you have any additional questions for Leah, hit us up on Twitter at the Frontside. CHARLES: We usually ask for people's contact information. Where can youl be found on Twitter? LEAH: I do have a Twitter account. I'm not super active because I'm busy wearing my business blazer. But my handle is @Wifelette and I try to be as responsive as I can certainly to people who reach out to me, even if I'm not broadcasting all that much. BRANDON: Awesome. Okay, well thank you again Leah, and thanks Charles. I hope everybody listening has an awesome week.
