Jasmin Thien is a fully blind, Bruneian born Chinese actor, writer, spoken word artist and stand up comedian who's fully accessible one-woman show ‘I Dream In Colour' is being presented by Extant at The Bloomsbury Festival On Sunday 15 October 2023 at 4pm at the John Lyon's Theatre, City Lit, London. ‘I Dream in Colour' is a sort of autobiographical show which combines the power of storytelling, poetry and comedy to explore memory, loss, and the intersection between disability and immigrant culture. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey recently caught up with Jasmin to find out more about ‘I Dream In Colour' and how the show has developed since a 20 minute work in progress section of the show was presented as part of an Extant double bill at the Sprint Festival in Camden earlier this spring and how Jasmin's recent eye operation has also given her a new perspective and view point on the show. More details about ‘I Dream In Colour' by Jasmin Thien at the Bloomsbury Festival can be found on the following pages of the Extant website - https://extant.org.uk/productions/i-dream-in-colour/ Image shows the promo picture for 'I Dream In Colour', a close up of half a face illuminated by small filtered lights

The Human Experience: How To Make Life Better For Your Customers And Create A More Successful Organization by John Sills About the Book: The essential guide to creating a successful organization by making things easier, better, and more straightforward for your customers. Across all sectors, organizations' fixation with functionality has meant that the 'human' elements of the customer's experience have become neglected.  Strict processes and automated procedures have created organizations full of people who aren't allowed to act in a 'human' way. As a result, and despite these new technologies, customers are no more satisfied than they were a decade ago (according to the Institute of Customer Service) and, according to Edelman, they now trust big organizations even less than they did in the past. In The Human Experience, John Sills draws upon extensive research and illustrative case studies to explain that the emotional experience is just as important as the functional one, and, if done right, will create a more efficient business.  He also demonstrates that the customer experience is not just the responsibility of front-line employees, but shared across the company, from the CEO operating as the spokesperson of the business to the programmers developing a seamless and welcoming user interface. Whether you're a well-established incumbent or an early-stage start-up, on either end of your product or service is a human.  Packed full of practical advice and engaging case studies, The Human Experience is the ultimate guide to creating a culture and an experience with humanity at its heart, helping to develop a customer base that will stay with an organization, and a company that will grow in an increasingly efficient way. About the Author: After starting his career at a market stall in Essex, John Sills has spent the last twenty-five years working in and with companies around the world to make things better for customers.  He's advised organizations such as Sky, The Body Shop, Ovo Energy, Invesco, Morrisons, eBay, and UNICEF.  Now Managing Partner at customer-led growth company The Foundation, John also spent twelve years at HSBC, starting on the frontline and finishing as Head of Customer Innovation. John works closely with Young Enterprise, a charity that helps young adults become the next generation of entrepreneurs, and is a mentor for The School of Marketing. His writing has been featured in The Guardian, Management Today, and WARC, as well as having work exhibited at the Imperial War Museum, The Foundling Museum, and as part of the Bloomsbury Festival.  And, interesting fact – he was an award-winning model!

This week, I'm speaking with Jason Geen and James Ewen of Apt. Jason started his career at Ellis Williams where he worked on The Stirling Prize-nominated Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts, then working at Stanton Williams and YRM, before joining Apt in 2011. At Apt, Jason is a Director, Studio Leader, and member of the Board. He has been instrumental in the development and growth of the company to an Employee ownership Trust in 2018 and provides strategic direction and design overview across the practice's portfolio of projects, encompassing several sectors, typologies, and scales. Jason is an active member of the London Arts scene, having recently completed tenures as a trustee of several arts-based institutions. He has also been a board member of the Bloomsbury Festival and was recently invited to join the esteemed jury for the Architecture MasterPrize in 2021. James joined Apt in 2013. He is a Trustee Board member, Project Leader and contributes to the strategic development of Apt and its culture. He has overseen some of the practice's largest projects including the 17.5-acre Fulham Gasworks Masterplan which creates a new residential community delivering almost 2000 new homes. His extensive experience spans overseeing projects within several different sectors, typologies, and scales. He recently completed 400 & 450 Longwater Avenue, a 297,500 sq.ft, twin office building in Reading which was designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent' rating and Well Building Standard® ‘Platinum Certification'. In this episode, Jason Geen and James give us an insight into their company structure, what is an employee-owned trust and how the shift from traditional to EOT re-energised the studio and provided an environment that attracts, retains, and incentivizes employees. They share their commitment to facilitating change in the industry, and how their own change/rebrand reflects the values of the firm that is now Apt. They also discuss a very important apprenticeship scheme and how Apt has been encouraging the growth of new architects and how they are cultivating talent.
