Guest: Graham Allcott: Author, Speaker and Entrepreneur Graham is the author of multiple books, including the global bestseller How to Be a Productivity Ninja. His latest book, KIND: The Quiet Power of Kindness at Work, focuses on why organisations with kinder, more human-centred cultures are ultimately more successful. He is the founder of Think Productive, which since 2009 has been a professional development go-to for a variety of companies, including Amazon, British Airways, Disney, eBay, the British Red Cross and many more – and with offices in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and the Netherlands. It happens gently and quietly but leads to spectacular results. And it's often thought that we have to choose between a kind working environment and a high-performing one. In the range of leadership skills, kindness is inherently quieter, more personal, harder to see – and yes, less interesting or cinematic than controversial tweets and ‘bullying boss' behaviour. But the most successful leaders and organizations recognise that kindness builds empathy, trust and psychological safety, the cornerstones of so many desirable traits and outcomes in many businesses: more creativity; a better quality of decision-making; safer critical thinking; higher levels of staff loyalty, flexibility and retention; a heightened sense of engagement; and higher productivity and profitability. Join us as we discuss how kindness builds empathy, trust and psychological safety. Host: Jo Moffatt

In today's episode of Two Ps on a Pod, Giles and Mark meet up with Paul Amadi MBE, Chief Supporter Officer at the British Red Cross.In a wide-ranging discussion, we consider the rights and (mainly) wrongs of transactional fundraising, we look at where the Red Cross is looking to innovate and what the future of successful fundraising might look like.Paul shares his thoughts on how a charity can encourage people who give at times of emergency to continue their support when the news media moves on to other concerns. And we consider how the Red Cross brand is managed and whether it is important that the promotional focus of the charity should cover all aspects of the charity's operations. If you'd like to speak to Giles, you can email him at giles@gilespegram.com.

Good Morning and welcome to another roasting hot day on the Costa Blanca. If you can understand what I have been writing it's because we've all learned how to use the English language in an agreed way. This morning I have been reviewing the UK newspapers with Neil Colbourne and we discussed how the British Red Cross has issued a document in which they have continued the woke trend of interfering with the English language. What concerns me most is the absence of comments from leaders in the fields of education and other major areas of influence. As a qualified educationalist I wonder why I bothered to dedicate so many years of my life to education. I am not an activist but I do urge people to wake up. Read about Antonio Gramski and maybe you can find some answers. In Gramsci's view, the bourgeoisie needed to develop a hegemonic culture using ideology rather than violence, economic force, or coercion. I believe his ideas are in the mix and are being used in Agenda 2030. I do hope you all have a successful and happy day and maybe the UK Minister for common sense will speak up!

In this 2020 episode, Mabala Nyaluwge, a Research Designer at the British Red Cross, joins her father, host Lars Peter Nissen, for a heart to heart conversation on racism and colonialism in aid. Following global outcry at George Floyd's murder, Mabala and Lars Peter explore whether the humanitarian space is free from colonial legacy. Mabala speaks about how the aid sector, while well-intentioned, often perpetuates colonial dynamics and racism. She discuss cultural communication styles and workplace hierarchies between local staff and expatriates, saying it's almost like experts are viewed as more delicate. Is your presence in crisis affected areas truly meaningful if you simply go there, hang out with expat friends in expat bars, but neglect to learn from and mentor your local colleagues? As they navigate these complex issues, they ask: are Western humanitarianism truly prepared to hand over power and break colonial cycles of dependency?

This resilience and ability to adapt to changing circumstances were crucial to Mando Agency's long-term success.The Value of Strategic Partnerships: A significant turning point for Mando Agency was the decision to partner with best-of-breed technology providers. This shift allowed them to work with larger clients and deliver more comprehensive solutions. The partnerships with technology providers, such as diagnostic engines for e-learning systems, helped Mando scale and attract clients like United Utilities, Vodafone, and Bentley, demonstrating the power of strategic collaborations.Importance of Self-Care and Mindfulness for Leaders: Ian Finch discussed his personal journey towards better self-care and mindfulness. He shared how creating space to think, checking in emotionally and spiritually, and engaging in physical activities like yoga and hiking have been crucial for his well-being.

词汇提示1.landmines 地雷2.preoccupations 忧虑3.chronic 长期4.surgeons 外科医生5.overwhelming 压倒性的6.handicap 残疾7.prostheses 假肢原文Diana, Princess Of Wales: 'A Modern Tragedy And Its Consequences' (1)Ladies and Gentlemen, I must begin by saying how warmly I welcome this conference on landmines convened by the Mines Advisory Group and the Landmines Survivors' Network.It is so welcome because the world is too little aware of the waste of life, limb and land which anti- personnel landmines are causing among some of the poorest people on earth.Indeed,until my journey to Angola early this year - on which I am going to speak this morning I was largely unaware of it too.For the mine is a stealthy killer.Long after conflict is ended, its innocent victims die or are wounded singly, in countries of which we hear little.Their lonely fate is never reported.The world, with its many other preoccupations, remains largely unmoved by a death roll of something like 800 people every month many of them women and children.Those who are not killed outright - and they number another 1,200 a month – suffer terrible injuries and are handicapped for life.I was in Angola in January with the British Red Cross - a country where there are 15 million landmines in a population, Ladies and Gentlemen, of 10 million - with the desire of drawing world attention to this vital, but hitherto largely neglected issue.Some people chose to interpret my visit as a political statement.But it was not.I am not a political figure.As I said at the time, and I'd like to re-iterate now, my interests are humanitarian.That is why I felt drawn to this human tragedy.This is why I wanted to play down my part in working towards a world-wide ban on these weapons.During my days in Angola, I saw at firsthand three aspects of this scourge.In the hospitals of Luanda, the capital, and Huambo, scene of bitter fighting not long ago, I visited some of the mine victims who had survived, and saw their injuries.I am not going to describe them, because in my experience it turns too many people away from the subject.Suffice to say, that when you look at the mangled bodies, some of them children, caught by these mines, you marvel at their survival.What is so cruel about these injuries, is that they are mostly invariably suffered, where medical resources are scarce.I observed for myself some of the obstacles to improving medical care in most of these hospitals.Often there is a chronic shortage of medicine, of pain killers, even of an aesthetics.Surgeons constantly engaged in amputating shattered limbs, never have all the facilities we would expect to see here.So the human pain that has to be borne is often beyond imagining.This emergency medical care, moreover, is only the first step back to a sort of life.For those whose living is the land, loss of an arm or leg, is an overwhelming handicap which lasts for life.I saw the fine work being done by the Red Cross and other agencies to replace lost limbs.But making prostheses is a costly as well as a complicated business.For example; a young child will need several different fittings as it grows older.Sometimes,the severity of the injury makes the fitting of an artificial limb impossible.There are never enough resources to replace all the limbs that are lost.翻译威尔士王妃戴安娜:“一场现代悲剧及其后果”(1)女士们、先生们，首先我必须表示我多么热烈地欢迎地雷咨询小组和地雷幸存者网络召开的这次地雷问题会议。它是如此受欢迎，因为世界对杀伤地雷在地球上一些最贫穷的人中间造成的生命、肢体和土地的浪费认识得太少。事实上，直到我今年早些时候前往安哥拉之前- -我今天上午将就此发言- -我基本上也没有意识到这一点。因为地雷是一个隐秘的杀手。在冲突结束很久之后，在我们很少听到消息的国家中，无辜的受害者仍然单独死亡或受伤。他们孤独的命运从未被报道过。世界及其许多其他关注事项，基本上对每月大约800人死亡无动于衷，其中许多是妇女和儿童。那些没有被直接杀害的人- -每月又有1200人被杀害- -受到严重伤害并终身残疾。我于1月同英国红十字会一起前往安哥拉- -这个国家的1 000万人口中有1 500万枚地雷- -希望提请世界注意这一至关重要但迄今基本上被忽视的问题。有些人把我的访问解读为一种政治声明。但事实并非如此。我不是一个政治人物。正如我当时所说，现在我想重申，我的兴趣是人道主义。这就是为什么我被这场人类悲剧所吸引。这就是为什么我想淡化我在争取在世界范围内禁止这些武器方面所起的作用。在安哥拉期间，我亲眼目睹了这一灾祸的三个方面。在不久前发生激烈战斗的首都罗安达和万博的医院里，我看望了一些幸存的地雷受害者，看到了他们的伤势。我不打算描述它们，因为根据我的经验，它会让太多人偏离这个主题。我只想说，当你看着那些被地雷炸得血肉模糊的尸体，其中一些是儿童，你会对他们的幸存感到惊讶。这些伤害的残酷之处在于，它们大多都是在医疗资源匮乏的地方遭受的。我亲眼目睹了这些医院在改善医疗服务方面存在的一些障碍。药品、止痛药、甚至麻醉剂的长期短缺往往存在。外科医生不断忙于切除破碎的肢体，从来没有我们期望在这里看到的所有设备。所以人类要承受的痛苦往往是无法想象的。此外，这种紧急医疗只是回到某种生活的第一步。对于那些以土地为生的人来说，失去一只胳膊或一条腿是一个终生的巨大障碍。我看到了红十字会和其他机构为替换失去的肢体所做的出色工作。但制造假肢是一项昂贵而复杂的业务。例如;随着年龄的增长，一个年幼的孩子将需要几次不同的试穿。有时，由于伤势严重，无法安装假肢。没有足够的资源来替换所有失去的肢体。

Join our Patreon to get access to exclusive monthly Zoom calls: / thethinkingmuslim Every year, the list of beleaguered Muslim countries and people increases, and with it, the demand for charity. We are used to giving in sadaqa – and our kindness as a community is rarely matched. The Muslim community in the UK alone gives upwards of £1bn in charity – much of which goes abroad. The situation in Gaza has once again led to a determined effort by many to contribute to charitable causes. As Ramadan comes, inevitably, our minds and hearts will turn to those in our umma who live this month with nothing but the clothes on their back; such is the parlous state of Muslims. But does charity work? What is charity? Is building a water well, however satisfying, the way to reconstruct our Muslim world? Are there better ways by which we can use our money without compromising on our commitment to our people? To help us understand this subject, we have invited a charity insider, probably someone who is most qualified to help us untangle this topic, onto The Thinking Muslim. Kashif Shabir has over 15 years' experience in the social impact and charity sector. He was until recently the CEO of Muslim Aid, one of the oldest faith-based NGOs in the UK. He has worked for, and help found several Muslim charities, including The National Zakat Foundation & Charity Right and held leadership positions at some of the largest mainstream charities including as Head of Knowledge and Learning at Oxfam and the British Red Cross, as part of their strategic change management team. Kashif sits on several advisory boards, including BOND, the largest network of organisations working in international development and Muslim Aid USA. He currently leads the Social Impact Advisory at Qadr Financial and is the founder of Ethical Consulting Group where he works with Charities, Family Offices and Government agencies to improve their effectiveness and maximise their social impact.

The future of the UK asylum system could dominate the 2024 general election campaign. The prime minister has made his controversial Rwanda plan a flagship part of the government's agenda, while Labour has committed to reforming the asylum system as part of its plan to tackle Channel crossings. Rishi Sunak pledged to clear the legacy asylum backlog by the end of 2023, but the sizeable backlog of people waiting for a decision remains – with the government struggling to deal with new asylum cases and problems elsewhere in the system. So what are these problems? Does the government have a coherent plan to bring down the backlog? And what can be done to improve the UK's asylum system in the long term? This panel examined what steps the government can take to ensure the asylum system is fit for purpose in the long term. We were joined by an expert panel, including: Alvina Tamara Chibhamu, Ambassador at the VOICES network Sal Copley, Executive Director of Communications and External Affairs at the British Red Cross Lizzie Dearden, Home affairs journalist and author Sir Philip Rutnam, former Permanent Secretary at the Home Office The event was chaired by Joe Owen, Director of Impact at the Institute for Government. We would like to thank the British Red Cross for kindly supporting this event.

Sign up for our mailing list There are mailing list signups on the last few podcast posts on our site, accessible through the podcast link at the top of our menu. Thank you! Introduction: Minutes 0 to 7:30 The Oscars are next weekend so we won't have a podcast unless something huge breaks. Since we last talked Chandra and I both saw American Fiction, that was my favorite. Chandra liked it but wanted it to focus more on Issa Rae's character. She thought The Zone of Interest was very disturbing, but loved Poor Things. She is also watching Capote vs. The Swans and loves the performances. If Emma Stone takes home the Oscar over Lily Gladstone, Chandra is fine with that. Royals: Minutes 7:30 to 29:00 In our last podcast we mentioned Charles' cancer diagnosis and Kate disappearance following abdominal surgery. Kate has not been seen in over 60 days. A Kensington Palace spokesperson gave a snotty statement about it to Page Six that did not reveal much. Their PR is so terrible. On February 15th the Sussexes made a three day trip to Canada to do events ahead of next year's winter Invictus Games. Harry had an interview with Good Morning America. The Sussexes also launched Sussex.com and Meghan got a podcast deal with Lemonada media. They're getting positive coverage apart from silly criticism. Harry was also criticized for answering questions about visiting his father. At first we heard that William, who is BAFTAs president, was not going to attend the BAFTAs on February 18th. That's pretty typical for him. However after Harry and Meghan got so much press for their Canada trip, he announced that he was going. A photo went viral where William was talking backstage to actresses, including Ayo Edebiri and Phoebe Dynevor, who were looking at him skeptically. It turned out that Prince William had made a very inappropriate comment to Mia McKenna-Bruce about her movie. He was very unprepared to meet the actresses and admitted to not having watched any of their films. On Tuesday the 20th, William issued a statement on the Middle East crisis, which no one was asking him about. William was scheduled to visit the British Red Cross and could have just issued a statement about their work instead. On Thursday, February 29th, William went to an event at a synagogue in central London to discuss anti-Semitism. Kate was originally scheduled to go with him to that event. We remember when Kate did an event with Holocaust survivors in 2021 in which she was engaged and charming. After William's statement on the Middle East and after he looked drunk at an investiture ceremony, Piers Morgan published a story about how William has been drinking wine since he was 13. On Tuesday February 27th there was a memorial service in London for King Constantine II of Greece, who passed last January. Neither Charles nor William went to the funeral in Greece in 2023. Charles announced ahead of time that he would not make it to this memorial. William was scheduled to give a reading, but canceled less than an hour before. It became international news. At the service were Camilla, at the head of the procession to the church, and Prince Andrew and Fergie were also upfront. Also there were Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. She's a notorious racist. The Kents' son-in-law, Thomas Kingston, passed away at just 45 in Gloucester on Sunday. His death was not announced for two days and his in laws went to that memorial service before the news got out. The press announced that William's absence at the memorial wasn't due to Thomas's death. Meanwhile there are all these stories about how the monarchy is fragile and the cracks are showing now. The way the Waleses have bungled their own PR is astounding. Here's a link to the story Chandra mentioned from The Daily Beast. Comments of the Week: Minutes 29:00 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Walking the Walk on the post about Harry losing his case over royal protection while in the UK. My comment of the week is from Christine on the post about the Willy Wonka kids experience in Scotland. Thanks for listening bitches!

Prince William issued a statement about Israel and Hamas. It reads:“I remain deeply concerned about the terrible human cost of the conflict in the Middle East since the Hamas terrorist attack on 7 October. Too many have been killed. I, like so many others, want to see an end to the fighting as soon as possible. There is a desperate need for increased humanitarian support to Gaza. It's critical that aid gets in and the hostages are released. Sometimes it is only when faced with the sheer scale of human suffering that the importance of permanent peace is brought home.”“Even in the darkest hour, we must not succumb to the counsel of despair. I continue to cling to the hope that a brighter future can be found and I refuse to give up on that.”As Prince William arrived at the British Red Cross headquarters, he was briefed on the humanitarian efforts being made in the Gaza region. During his visit, he participated in a video call with teams on the ground who are actively involved in the humanitarian response efforts in Gaza.In a forthcoming event, the Prince is scheduled to engage in a dialogue at a synagogue with young individuals from various communities. These young advocates are actively working against hatred and antisemitism. Specific details about this upcoming engagement are currently withheld from the public.Royal expert Ingrid Seward explains it was a "most unusual" statement, telling the Mirror: "William obviously feels passionate about the effects of the Israeli-Hamas conflict. Although this is not the first time he has spoken out with such feeling, it is his strongest declaration yet."Last October Kensington Palace released a carefully worded statement on behalf of both the Prince and Princess of Wales, expressing their distress at the horrific events. Since then, William has been following events on a daily basis and seen the horrors that many innocent young families on both sides of the conflict have had to endure."But by dint of his position as Prince of Wales, William cannot make his political views public. But he can make subtle hints as to exactly how strongly he feels. Releasing such a pointedly worded statement today is most unusual and illustrates just how desperate William feels."It certainly reminds us William is a force to be reckoned with. He refuses to hide behind the mantle of his royalty. There are things he wants to do and needs to say." A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said William's statement ”is consistent with the Government position, and we welcome that intervention. It is important that we speak with one voice as a nation."

In a captivating conversation with Saleh Saeed OBE, the Chief Executive of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), listeners are treated to an in-depth exploration of the DEC's vital role in responding to global disasters and humanitarian crises. With a history spanning 60 years, the DEC stands as a testament to the collective power of the UK's leading charities, coordinating efforts to deliver rapid and effective aid to those in dire need. Saleh delves into the unique operational model of the DEC, emphasising its reliance on a broad partnership network that includes 15 member charities such as Oxfam, Save the Children, and the British Red Cross, alongside a strategic alliance with major UK broadcasters. This synergy enables the DEC to launch impactful appeals that galvanise public support and funding, which are crucial for immediate humanitarian response. The discussion also sheds light on the critical criteria guiding the DEC's activation: the scale of unmet humanitarian needs, the capacity for effective intervention, and the level of public sympathy and awareness. These criteria ensure that the DEC's efforts are both necessary and supported, allowing for swift action in the wake of disasters like the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which alone raised an astonishing £420 million. Saleh offers a behind-the-scenes look at the DEC's operational dynamics when disasters strike, highlighting the pre-established preparedness and the rapid mobilisation of resources and partnerships that enable an immediate response. This efficiency is underscored by a transparent and accountable fund distribution system that ensures donations are swiftly channeled to where they are most needed, supporting life-saving and protective aid efforts. Moreover, the episode touches on the evolution of the DEC over its 60-year history, including the expansion of its member charities and the cap on membership to maintain effective fund distribution. Saleh also addresses the importance of ongoing support from corporates and individuals, even in times of calm, to bolster the DEC's readiness for future crises. Saleh's message resonates with the ethos of collaboration and joint effort. He passionately advocates for greater partnership and less competition within the humanitarian and wider charity sectors, emphasising that united efforts can significantly amplify the impact and reach of aid, making a profound difference in the lives of those affected by disasters and crises.

This week, the Inquiry examined how central government responded to the aftermath of the disaster while continuing to hear about London-wide emergency response arrangements. The Chief Executive of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea took two days to ask for emergency help from other London councils, after being “leant on”. An email written by then Prime Minister Theresa May contained damning criticism of RBKC's response, describing their actions as “utter uselessness”. The British Red Cross said there was confusion over responsibilities between them and the council. Meanwhile this week the government announced that it was rejecting two of the recommendations made by the Inquiry back in 2019.
