Angie, a comedian and comedy educator, shares her experience using stand-up as a therapeutic tool for diverse groups, including men at risk of suicide and army veterans. Harriet, a corporate coach, key-note speaker and stand-up comedian, discusses humour's role in offering new perspectives and building rapport. Stuart, a corporate speaker on the Climate Crisis and Resilience gives us insights on using humour to facilitate personal growth and cultural change. We discuss: How can you use humour in coaching?

How can we use comedy to help people take a different perspective?  What can we learn from comedians about vulnerability, resilience and authenticity? There are many transferable skills we can take from comedy to enhance our coaching practice such as relationship building and creating psychological safety. Furthermore, working with comedy can help clients reframe risk and failure and cultivate their ability to get into a peak performance state.

Reach PLC is one of the largest commercial publishers in the UK, which owns household brands like the Mirror and the Daily Star as well as the majority of local titles including Bristol Live, and pulls in millions in revenue. But 1,000 journalists employed by Reach PLC started striking yesterday (Wednesday) after rejecting a 3% pay rise.As reported by the Cable earlier this week, junior staff at Bristol Live are paid under £20,000 while senior staff are on just £25,000. These low salaries are forcing some journalists to resort to using food banks to feed their families, and all the while the chief exec of Reach PLC Jim Mullen took home £4m last year – 104 times more the median salary of a Reach PLC employee.Listen in to this week's episode of Bristol Unpacked with Neil and local NUJ member Paul Breeden on what's at stake for the Bristol Live strikers, and whether the economically and reputationally battered news industry can ever improve its service to the public.

  Winner: The people of Bristol, England Our first winners today are the people of Bristol, England, because of their generosity. Jeffrey Knight is a homeless man who lives in the area, and is known to locals because he sells magazines on sidewalks in the city. He's well-loved in the area because of his overwhelming happy demeanour - and he regularly fist-bumps and gives compliments to people as they pass by. And so recently, hundreds of locals pooled togther to buy Jeff his own camper van, so he'd have somewhere nice and warm to sleep at night. Together they raised 12,000 Canadian dollars - and the local van dealer gave them a discounted rate so they could have some money left over for tax and insurance for the next few years. Jeff got the keys to the van this past weekend - and he told Bristol Live how grateful he is.   Double winner: Anonymous man in Texas It started off as a terrible accident in a Texas home: a dog called Maggie accidentally laid on one of her puppies while they were nursing, and accidentally suffocated her. The newborn pup was lifeless. That was when the anonymous man intervened - and revived the puppy by performing lifesaving CPR on its tiny body. Footage of the rescue shows the man massaging the puppy's body and performing mouth-to-mouth breaths, as the mother dog watches patiently. After some time, the little one recovers her breath and she can be seen nursing along with its siblings later in the video.

In the latest installment of Bristol Live's podcast, three of our most senior journalists discuss what the future has in store for them as they leave our newsroom and fly off to pastures new.Education editor Michael Yong is not only leaving Bristol Live, he is leaving the UK and heading back to Singapore, the country where he grew up to take over as __ in the Asian news website ___. This challenge will involve him overseeing dozens of journalists across the world reporting some of the most important international stories.Michael has been recognised across the country as an award-winning and nominated journalist particularly for his campaigning on a number of issues including homelessness. Most recently Bristol MP Thangam Debbonaire name-checked him in parliament for his important work in documenting the number of rough sleepers who have died in the city over the last year.We will also, unfortunately, be saying farewell to our senior content editor Bethan Evans who has been offered the exciting opportunity to head up the BBC Bristol newsroom as a content editor. She has led Bristol Live over the last year and will hope to use that experience to inspire those she edits in future.Senior reporter Alex Wood will also be taking up a new role, exiting newspaper journalism he now plans to bring Bristol its news through the medium of broadcast.From the new year, Alex will be working as a production journalist for ITV and is looking forward to the challenge ahead of him learning the ropes behind the camera.For stories written by Alex or Michael please visit the Bristol Live website and look for their author pages.If you have ever wished you could take a look inside your local newsroom and meet the team behind the headlines, Bristol Live have launched the perfect podcast for you.Every Friday, Bristol Live will give you an insight into the things happening in your area and give you exclusive access to the team.To listen to the podcast you can click here or alternatively download from wherever you get your podcasts.
