Podcasts about Bungay

Mark Norman is an English folklore researcher, author, lecturer and host of The Folklore Podcast in Devon, England. We begin with comparative readings about spectral road dogs in Virginia and in England. Mark tells us a bit about his county, of ship scuttlers & Wistman's Wood. Looking for the oldest written account of ghostly black dogs in the United Kingdom, we hear of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and a wild hunt of demonic hunters. From there we focus in on the lore: the Black Shuck event at Bungay & Blythburgh churches in 1577; black dog sightings as omens of death; and protective spirit dogs. We end on how landscape features become part of folklore, the future of folklore, and the winter tradition of Wassailing around the apple orchard. Check out Mark's folkloric books and his popular podcast, The Folklore Podcast.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/3bpji1 Tono-Bungay By H. G. Wells Narrated by Marty Krz “Tono-Bungay. Like Mountain Air in the Veins.” Tono-Bungay is a patented medicine that promises it all: health, beauty, and strength. George Ponderevo, the narrator of this story, is persuaded by the inventor of the medicine—his Uncle Edward—to help develop the Tono-Bungay business. George devotes seven years of his life to doing so, despite believing that the whole operation is “a damned swindle”. After breaking free in a new direction, however, George's ties with his uncle continue to shape his life, as do various social forces. This coming-of-age novel explores themes including religious skepticism, socialism, ennui, English society, sexual relationships, and metaphysics, as George searches for an ideal to which he can devote his life. Like all Wells's novels, Tono-Bungay abounds with social critique. This novel was published in 1909 and is semi-autobiographical.

Join Murray Robinson and Shane Gibson as they chat with Stephen Bungay about the art of action. What can managers learn about leading in uncertain conditions from military history and modern NATO tactics? Military history shows that predictive plans and standard operating procedures work well when we are doing the same thing a thousand times, but fail badly when there's uncertainty, friction or competition, as there always is in software product development. Stephen explains how the military uses mission command to empower teams to achieve the leader's intent in an uncertain world. He explains the mission briefing process, the back briefing process and the review process. And he tells lots of entertaining stories from military history to explain his point. Join us to learn how to become a much more effective leader in conditions of uncertainty.

BONUS: Reimagining Agile Coaching with Opportunity-based Agile Coaching, Peter Rubarth   In this podcast episode, Peter introduces the concept of "Opportunity-based Agile Coaching." He clarifies that it is not a new method but rather a deliberate approach to leveraging existing momentum in Agile software development. The goal is to understand and harness what is already happening or about to happen, using both the company's energy and the coach's energy efficiently. A key tip is to identify what people are paying attention to, what they care about, and where the energy lies. By doing so, you can effectively facilitate the desired changes in a different and more effective way. Agile Coaching Beyond the Plan: The Magic of Opportunity-Driven Approach This approach distinguishes itself from other coaching methods in two ways. Firstly, it contrasts with a planned transition approach where a desired state is predetermined, which contradicts the Agile nature. Secondly, it differs from the problem-based approach, where coaching focuses on specific stakeholder issues. However, this approach identifies missed opportunities and encourages fostering requests. It involves aligning personal ideas of agility with company strategy and culture, using these as an umbrella for coaching. It suggests searching for coaching openings through conversations, leveraging cultural insights and challenges, which is a unique selling proposition (USP) for internal Agile coaches. From Aversion to Alignment: Unleashing Transformation through Opportunity-Based Coaching During an engagement with autonomous teams working on a shared product, Peter encountered gaps in collaboration due to a prevailing aversion to alignment within the organization. Acknowledging the importance of alignment, Peter initially waited for an opportune moment. Eventually, a strategic shift within the organization created a need for alignment and inter-team collaboration, serving as the catalyst. Emphasizing the goal over "change," Peter partnered with stakeholders, positioning the alignment as a step toward the goal rather than a disruptive change. In a workshop, teams shared their focus in relation to a shared leadership-communicated goal, leading to insights and a surge of energy. This emergent process of opportunity-based agile coaching highlighted that aligning with the goal, not just altering processes, drives positive transformation. The experience showcased the power of harnessing existing momentum, underscoring the value of recognizing and utilizing opportunities within the Agile coaching process. This approach not only facilitated change but also nurtured an environment where coaching opportunities naturally arose, validating the effectiveness of opportunity-based agile coaching. Tackling Challenges of Agile Coaching through Opportunities Agile Coaches navigating opportunity-based coaching face several challenges. Humility is key, acknowledging that one doesn't possess all answers. Embracing the Probe-sense-respond approach, coaches learn, observe, experiment, and adapt without a predefined plan. Observational skills are vital, allowing judgment-free insights to form a holistic understanding. Building hypotheses through observations is essential. Maintaining team interaction, earning trust, and accessing stakeholders at various stages are critical. Productive sponsor conversations are advised, while curiosity and continual learning must be cultivated. Overcoming these challenges empowers Agile Coaches to effectively employ opportunity-based coaching for meaningful change and enhanced collaboration. From Frustration to Fulfillment: The Journey of Agile Coaches with Opportunity-Based Coaching Opportunity-based Agile Coaching contributes significantly to the growth of Agile Coaches. By unveiling the organizational dynamics and facilitating effective change, coaches overcome frustration and gain renewed energy. It offers practical insight into making Agile practices work, nurturing confidence and motivation. The approach's rapid pace demands a well-prepared toolbox and a focus on experimentation, fostering an empirical approach. Notably, the principle of moving on when energy is lacking ensures coaches remain adaptable and attuned to opportunities, cultivating continuous development and an enriched coaching skill set. Recommended Resources To delve deeper into the concept of opportunity-based Agile coaching, I recommend the book "Art of Action" by Bungay, which delves into the notion of "directed opportunism." This resource helps framing managerial intentions to guide execution while allowing room for seizing opportunities. Additionally, Peter's blog post on "opportunity-based agile coaching" offers further insights into this approach, detailing how to transition from recognizing existing momentum to deliberately fostering it for effective Agile coaching.   About Peter Rubarth Peter's fascination with agile began when Scrum helped to transform a seemingly impossible mission into triumph. This motivated his passion for guiding teams towards outcome-focused agility. Embracing these principles in his agile coaching, Peter champions the cause of elevating agile coaching as a profession.

Pablo confesses to committing (and enjoying) a heinous act at the gym and the pair wag chins over pool table etiquette, speculate over a public convenience conversion and online comedy forums get a mention. They raise questions about comedians over-selling themselves, like they once did, the format gets a mash-up and Kai turns some malicious behaviour in the neighbourhood into ticket sales .Co-Produced & Presented by Kai Barron & Paul 'Pablo' DunnPost Production and Artwork by Kai Barron of Shaft Of Wit ComedyLinks THE PROMOTER MOUTHS WEBPAGE www.shaftofwit.com/podcastTHE PROMOTER MOUTHS FACEBOOK PAGE www.facebook.com/promotermouthsSHAFT OF WIT COMEDY (Kai's Website) www.shaftofwit.comWCB COMEDY (Pablo's Website) www.wcbcomedy.comPATREON Link www.patreon.com/promotermouths Support Kai & Pablo for less than the price of a pint.

From ancient origins, to Churchill, who popularised the Victorian phrase “The black dog on your back”, the concept of the spectral black dog as a portent of doom, death and catastrophe is one that has maintained, with a constant slow progression throughout centuries. From musty old tomes maintained in cold damp monasteries, to the pages of Harry Potter, the Black Dog, Old Shuck, the Barghest, the Guytrash and the Skriker have haunted the stories of our rural landscapes and worked their way into the global imagination like almost nothing else in popular folklore.   This weeks episode was sponsored by The Art of Crime Podcast, check them out here: https://www.artofcrimepodcast.com/ Sources Chambers, Robert (1894) The Book of Days: A Miscellany of Popular Antiquities… W & R Chambers, London, UK.   Waldron, David & Reeve, Christopher (2010) Shock!

Walter Woolnough was born in Bungay, Suffolk County, England in 1821. He moved with his parents to America when he was just eleven years old. He would grow up in New York and become an apprentice for a printing company. He would eventually move west to Ohio, and work for the Ashtabula Ohio Sentinel, a Whig newspaper in 1842.

Joining us on this episode of Between the Lines is Dr Dan Harwood to discuss Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald. Dan is a consultant in old age psychiatry at Croydon Memory Service. What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald's own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.

Hey there, my wise friends and welcome to the podcast and a very happy new year to you, I hope you're having a great start to 2022 and that your Christmas plans weren't too disrupted by the dreaded COVID. We're kicking off this year with an amazing guest, Michael Bungay Stainer, who is well renowned in the coaching world, having written his brilliant book, The Coaching Habit, which really leads into how you can bring coaching into all aspects of your life, whether you are a parent, manager or a teacher. And how it really does inspire creative thinking, and self-sufficiency. I reached out to him as he's just launching his latest book, which is called How To Begin, it feels like really perfect timing. As for many of us, the beginning of a new year is a time to reflect back on last year, and perhaps set some goals for the year ahead. Michael's take on it is to invite you to set a goal that is at the same time thrilling, important and daunting. And his book is a practical tool that will help you to outline your goal in the first place. And then really dig into why it matters, which will in turn help you to stay motivated. There's an old Buddhist saying that the best time to start anything was probably 20 years ago. And the second best time is probably today. So, if you have an idea for something that you want to launch or get off the ground, then this book is definitely one you should consider reading. As Michael says himself, progress equals happiness. And often we find meaning and happiness with small wins every day. That's how we make real progress. Sometimes it can be the smallest little thing that makes the biggest difference. So, this is a book that's really about figuring out what to focus on, and then helping you to take those small steps to find the wins that get you across the threshold towards your goal. So, with that, I'll hand you over to Michael and just say how much I am so grateful to him for joining me to share his wisdom     Michael Bungay Stainer's Website   Wisdom:  Have the curiosity and the courage to find the answer to the burning question inside you   Fire Bullets and then fire cannonballs   Songs:   Rubicon by Bob Dylan   Deeper Water by Paul Kelly

Ahja, es wird auch kurz über Zendaya, Bachelor in Paradise und Krieg und Frieden gesprochen. Ziemlich normale Folge also.

Mark Steel performs for the residents of Bungay. He's talking about non-existent castles, haunted pubs and chicken roundabouts. During his visit to the Suffolk town, he investigates the rich tapestry of remarkable events and people. Series in which the comedian visits towns across the UK and creates a stand-up show for the locals. Written by Mark Steel with additional material by Pete Sinclair. Producer: Sam Bryant First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in January 2012.

Mark Steel returns to Radio 4 for a fifth series of the award winning show that travels around the country, researching the history, heritage and culture of six towns that have nothing in common but their uniqueness, and does a bespoke evening of comedy in each one. As every high street slowly morphs into a replica of the next, Mark Steel's in Town celebrates the parochial, the local and the unusual. From Corby's rivalry with Kettering to the word you can't say in Portland, the show has taken in the idiosyncrasies of towns up and down the country, from Kirkwall to Penzance, from Holyhead to Bungay. This first edition of the series comes from Glastonbury, Somerset, which lives up to every expectation of being the most new-agey, hippyish town Mark has ever visited. He talks about the Tor and King Arthur, visits the two chain shops on the High Street, is given an unusual reason for not being able to get into his dressing room, and makes a crucial mistake when it comes to cider.

Mark also looks at the somewhat contentious history of the city, the impact of being the 2013 City of Culture, the local dialect, and the new bridge that's got everyone talking in this jam-packed half-hour show.

The twin landmarks of Heathrow Airport and the Sikh temple dominate the area, with the latter proving more popular as Mark also discusses football, astrology and bank openings. From January 2014.

Orford Ness is a remote spit of marsh and shingle covered land that sticks out into the North Sea. Part of the chilly, windswept Suffolk coast of East England it became the secret location for a place where boffins could work on the latest experiments in aviation and nuclear weapons. It was also the place where one of the very last pilots to die in WW I would meet his end. In ancient times, Orford Ness was home to smugglers!   Orford Ness in modern times, not far from Bungay!   The village of Orford with its medieval castle and Norman church.   The RFC version of interrupter gear.   A Martello tower.   A Heath Robinson cartoon.   The Bristol Fighter.   Beacon tower.   The Blue Plaque.   The Orford Ness Pagodas.   The experimental Over The Horizon radar codenamed Cobra.   The grave of Lieutenant Oliver Byerley Walters Wills, R.F.C. who was killed at Orford Ness a few hours before the end of WW1.         Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to Ananias Appleton, Google Maps, the RAF, Alesey Komarov, Andrew Helme, Peter Norman, George Wolfe and Chris Gunns.

But we’ll also learn about some canid mysteries we haven’t covered before, especially some mysteries associated with wolves. This is a suggestion from Pranav, who wanted to hear about more mystery canids after episode 80. As always before our Halloween episode, let’s take care of some housekeeping. First, I’ve unlocked some Patreon episodes for anyone to listen to. The links are in the show notes and you can click through and listen on your browser, no login required. This time we have episodes about the horse-eel, the Hook Island Sea Monster, and the Minnesota Iceman. Next, you still have a few days left to enter the book giveaway! This is for one paperback copy each of my books Skytown and Skyway. Skytown is a fun fantasy adventure book about two young women who steal an airship and decide to become airship pirates. As you do. Skyway is about the same characters but it’s a collection of short stories, mostly set before the events of the book. The short story collection is probably about a PG rating, for parental guidance needed, while the novel is probably more PG-13, where it’s really not for people under 13 years old. To enter the giveaway, just send me a message saying you’d like to enter. At midnight on Halloween night I will draw one winner randomly and send them the books as well as stickers, bookmarks, and some other stuff, but let’s be honest, I’m probably going to forget and fall asleep, so if any entries come in overnight on Halloween I’ll add them to the list before drawing a winner on the morning of November 1. There’s a page on the website with links to the Goodreads profiles of both books if you want to take a closer look and maybe order copies, because small publishers are really hurting right now and they could use your help. This is also a good time to remind you that there are a few other pages on the website you might want to take ...

Michael is the Senior Partner at Box of Crayons, a company that helps organizations do less Good Work and more Great Work. He’s also the author of several books, including The Coaching Habit and Do More Great Work. Michael has written for or been featured in numerous publications including Business Insider, Fast Company, Forbes, The Globe & Mail and The Huffington Post. Favorite Success Quote “If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start.” ~Charles Bukowski Key Points 1. Forget All About Doing Good Work and Focus on Great Work  There are only three kinds of work. Bad work, good work, and great work. Ironically, the type of work that is most deadly to your dreams and ambitions is not bad work. Because bad work is obvious. It’s the kind of work that creates a visceral reaction each time you are forced to engage in it. You know what I am talking about. That work you try and outsource as soon as you receive it. That work that leaves you anxious and exhausted each time it pops up in your inbox. That work that requires no talent, skill, or ability, simply an ability to switch off your brain and put your nose to the grindstone. And most importantly, that work that does nothing to push you closer to your ultimate vision. You know bad work when you see it, which is why it’s not truly a danger to your dreams. Good work, on the other hand, is an innocuous killer of greatness. Because good work (again, as the name implies) is good.  You enjoy good work, you can profit from good work, and good work leaves you with a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment. But there’s a disconnect. Good work is often what we use to fill our time and distract ourselves from great work we know we should be doing. Good work is that high-paying freelance project that distracts your focus from your new startup. Or that client you keep on retainer who doesn’t push your abilities or stretch you. Good work can even be a relationship, a friendship, or a career that is blowing you off course from your life’s mission. Good work will not steal your soul and crush you underfoot like bad work will. Instead, it will ensnare you and keep you playing the game of life at a small level. So it’s time for you to decide. Do you want to do good work that will make you a living? Or do you want to do great work that will make you a legend? 2. Learn to Understand the True Problem  Men are problem solvers. This isn’t some sort of gender-based stereotype, it’s simply how we are biologically hard-wired. But the unique problem with being a problem solver is that it can often lead to impatience and unnecessary haste. Which, especially when it pertains to leadership and management, can be fatal to your efficiency. After all, how can you effectively solve a problem if you haven’t fully defined the problem you are trying to solve? For example, let’s say that you receive a call from a long-time client who is responsible for more than 25% of your bottom line. As soon as you pick up the phone, the client regretfully informs you that your contract is being terminated and when you inquire as to why he simply responds by saying “We no longer need your services.” At this point, you could make assumptions about the problem, politely hang up, and face the consequences of losing such a big contract. Or, you could ask a simple question, “What’s the real challenge here?” By diving deeper instead of simply assuming that the client is lost, you might find out that they recently underwent significant budget cuts and don’t feel that they can afford your retainer. And while you may or may not be able to renegotiate an agreement, you have stepped further into understanding what the real challenge is. The next time that you are presented with a challenging situation, even an internal one, I challenge you to pause, take a step back, and ask “What’s the real challenge here?” If you are feeling unfulfilled in your work and you’re thinking about quitting your job, stop and ask “What’s the real challenge”? Are you bored and unchallenged? Do you feel stuck? Do you feel underpaid? Talk to your manager and see if you can take on more challenging projects, move into a different division, or negotiate a raise. However, if you feel like your talents and abilities genuinely need to be applied to a different endeavor, then follow through and quit with a full understanding of the challenge you need to surmount. If your marriage is on the verge of collapse, pause and ask yourself, “What’s the real challenge here?”. Are you and your partner simply struggling to connect? Do you feel the need for more time alone and with friends? Do you feel that you have lost touch with what made you fall in love with one another? These issues (although difficult) are all fixable. But maybe the real struggle is that you were married too young and your goals are no longer in alignment. Maybe the solution is to part amicably and move towards your own individual purposes. Whatever problems you are facing in your life, take a step back and figure out what the real challenge is. Sometimes, your assumptions will be correct. But more often than not, you will find that the real challenge is much deeper and much more nuanced than you originally thought. 3. Knowledge is Never the Issue  I want you to imagine that you are walking through a dark alleyway late at night in your hometown. You feel a tingle at the base of your spine, and when you turn around, there is a man with a gun pointed at your head. He doesn’t want your money, he doesn’t want your watch, in fact… He doesn’t give a damn about any of your valuables. All he wants is the answer to four questions. “What can I do to become healthier? What can I do to make and save more money? What can I do to attract more women and love into my life? And what can I do to become a stronger grounded man?” Would you be able to respond? If you have been listening to this show for any appreciable amount of time, then I can guarantee that you could. “Lift heavy weights for 5 hours a week and only eat real food. Start a side hustle, save away every extra penny, and then invest in some sort of asset like a real estate deal. Talk to five new women every day, be genuinely interested, and be authentic with them. Start journaling, meditating, and pushing yourself to embrace adversity.” Boom! He puts the gun down and you are free to go. Now, I know that the above scenario is implausible, to say the least, but my point in sharing this is that you know what you need to do. I doubt that the above responses were new to most of you. You already knew how to become healthier, wealthier, attract better relationships, and become more grounded. And if you don’t, then a short glance through the Knowledge for Men archives will solve that problem once and for all. For 99% of you reading this, however, knowledge is not your problem. You know everything that you need to do. So why aren’t you doing it? Why aren’t you taking action? Why aren’t you moving forward? Before you get upset and start casting blame and recoiling in defense, pause… And ask yourself, “What’s the real challenge here?” What is it in your life that is stopping you from moving forwards? Why aren’t you taking action? Why aren’t you doing what you need to do? Instead of judging yourself and trapping yourself in a vicious cycle of frustration, shame, and inaction, take a step back and analyze your inaction. If lack of knowledge isn’t your problem… What is? 4. What Do You Want? Seriously… What do you want? What do you want? Not “What do mommy and daddy want?” Not “What does society want?” Not “What people tell you that you should want?” What do you want? It’s funny to me how few men will actually take the time to uncover the answer to this question. To our knowledge, we only get one shot at this thing called life. We only have one chance to live the lives that we want. So why the hell do we go about living our lives based on other people’s values and desires? If you only have one chance to live your life and achieve your dreams, then why would you pursue a career that makes you miserable? Why would you marry someone you don’t truly love? Why would you live one second of your life out of alignment with your deeper calling and purpose? Ask yourself every single week, month, and year, “What do I want?” Don’t filter what comes up, don’t judge it, just embrace it. Once you know what you truly want… Go out and get it.

This week on Over The Farm Gate we're talking food.It's now eight weeks since the Coronavirus lockdown, and for some it has brought a completely new way of living and working. For a lot of farming businesses though, the soaring demand for British produce has brought commercial opportunities, with numerous producers up and down the country turning to direct selling. We're finding out how businesses have been adapting and not only staying afloat, but thriving. Writer and regenerative agriculture organiser Cathy St Germans talks about 'Farms to Feed Us', a project to put farms selling direct onto a publicly-available database. Since launching on April 4, the database has had more than 260 farms added and over 8,000 views. Jonny Crickmore, a dairy farmer near Bungay, in Suffolk, sells his Baron Bigod cheese all over the UK from delis to restaurants and even Harrods. Jonny tells the story of an initial plunge in sales where he had to furlough his staff and consider dumping his cheese. Since then though, things have turned a corner and he's been selling more cheese on lockdown than at Christmas time. Patrick Deeley, is a mixed farmer near Godstone in Surrey with multiple enterprises, including a farm shop, butchers, tearoom and Surrey's largest annual summer beer festival. Patrick's shop saw a ten-fold increase in sales from panic-buying customers before he decided to shut it and move online. He talks about the opportunity farming has right now to connect with consumers and how he hopes his festival will go ahead and give everyone some hope and joy.

Often we hesitate around difficult conversations, not because we're scared of the scary conversations; we're just not clear on what we want. – Michael Bungay Stanier Hey everyone! Welcome to the show. The topic we're going to dig into right now is Why Coaching is the #1 Leadership Skill Today. I have a special guest with me, who, in my opinion, is the best person on the planet right now to talk about this particular topic – Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael is the founder of Box of Crayons, a learning and development company focused on coaching. He's the author of The Coaching Habit – my personal favorite business book – and he has another one coming out on February 29th called The Advice Trap. I've already preordered my copy – make sure you preorder yours too (link at the bottom of the show notes). In this episode, we dive into: What it takes to be a good manager, 5 Reasons why people resist being more coach-like, Michael's definition of coaching, How coaching drives impact and engagement, Coaching conversations, and a whole lot more. Click that play button to listen! Don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts! What is coaching? This is my definition. It's a behavior, and the behavior is this: can you stay curious a little bit longer? Can you rush to action and advice-giving a little bit more slowly? It's simple, but it's difficult. Impact, Engagement and Coaching. In essence, the two key drivers in an organization are impact, which is productivity, and meaning, which is engagement. Coaching is one of the key skills – I know it is, because research tells us – to drive both impact and engagement. What do you want? That is a great question to crack open a conversation, just to accelerate it into a “Let's get down to brass tax here”. It's an easy question to ask and hard to answer, because people often don't know what they want, but it's really powerful to hold them in that space. Because once you know what you want, it grounds you. When you're grounded – that's the basis for action and movement. Another thing I really love about that question is to ask it of yourself, particularly when you're feeling annoyed, discombobulated, knocked off balance, when things have been hard for you and you're struggling with a particular relationship. Just go, “What do I want?” Often we hesitate around difficult conversations, not because we're scared of the scary conversations; we're just not clear on what we want. Michael's advice for new leaders Be skeptical about advice, because often, they don't know what they're talking about. They're projecting all sorts of things. It's the same as feedback. Feedback often tells you more about the person giving you the feedback than it is actually useful for you at that moment.

Following on further from Avery Pennarun's intriguing article on "what executives do", we ask how, exactly, executives (and others!) can trigger action, if they are not themselves going to carry it out? It turns out we've covered our favourite technique for this before - Bungay's Briefing and Back Briefing - but this time we have a scoring checklist that can help you use the technique, and two new stories about successful and unsuccessful delegation.

The small market town of Bungay in the UK is today a quite respite from the common bustle of the outside world. And as with any old town, it has its ghosts, whispered about in passing stories. Signs in the towns center put it on display and wind vines display its form. That of a large black dog, with crazed eyes, mangy hair, and a long black tail. It is known locally, as Black Shuck, and one Sunday in August of 1577, it came to call on the church goers of Bungay.

Have you ever had a conversation that really inspired you to live up to your full potential and not let fear hold you back? In this episode of the Fiercely Spiritual Podcast I feature one of the founding members of the Fiercely Spiritual Family, Collette Bungay. Collette shares her story of how she was living with anxiety and panic just a few years ago and how she now is experiencing a new level of peace and happiness in her life. She is truly inspiring! The points that Collette makes are so important, especially now, when we are living in a society where anxiety and panic are commonplace and thought to be part of modern day living. Anxiety is NOT normal. You do not have to live with it. There is most definitely another path you can choose! If you’ve been experiencing panic or fear or anxiety, let this conversation be the catalyst for change. My hope is that this will support you in bringing more peace and happiness into your life.

Fran Bungay is head coach of Goalspecific and a coaching tutor at the British Triathlon coach development programme, as well as a top-ranked age-group athlete with two European titles to her name.

Jabe Bloom and Marc Burgauer - Designing Systems Last week, beginning of December 2018, I happened to be guest of the DevOps Conference in Munich. The nice people from the organising company gave me the chance to actually make it a family meeting with my pals J Paul Reed (a giant in the field of DevOps), Marc Burgauer (from Scotland, doing Agile consulting in Banking) and Jabe Bloom (co-founder and chief scientist of Praxisflow). It was 3 really busy days, the bunch of us were continuously mingling in giving talks, workshops, being active in a panel and all kinds of fun. Finally on the last day, we all gave a huge workshop together, using all kinds of techniques and tools from all of our fields and it felt like really great collaboration - throwing together all our expertise from all the fields we've been busy in and merging the approaches. Collaboration without vanity and really sharing. It rarely feels this good!!! On the evening before the workshop, Marc, Jabe and me sat down in my hotel room and recorded roughly two hours of ramblings on designing systems. When Jabe is with you, it's always on the highest level and really abstract design theory. But Jabe has this tough in which he can really go sky high, risking to be Icarus. But just before his abstract knowledge makes gets him too close to the sun, he defends to us other mortal souls and he connects back to earth and leaves us all with a "ahhhh, I see what you mean!!!" The background is that Jabe is currently working on his PhD in Design at the Carnegie Mellon University and as such he is a monster in reading about all of the most abstract literature in design theory - specialising in change in human systems in extreme time spans (like hundreds of years). Of course, there are huge connections between these theories and what we are doing.  Having Marc in this round is a totally different perspective yet and I love how the three of us managed to blast through all kinds of topics. Honestly, this one is one for the lodert and possibly for a niche. But I guess the niche will love it. I'll make it short this time and leave it with the character of the recording: Raw, uncut and a little meandering but always true to the topic and lots of lots of depth. I love this and it feels authentic to how my life and job is. Thanks guys in being my guests and inspiration in this episode. This is part 1 of 2 parts. The next part will make up the next episode and will follow in a week or so. This just had to be out there. Some notes and hints How different timeframes and different temporality change our thinking and how we have to take care about this. We mention Bungay, User Stories, Epics, Strategy … The focus of Agile is compression of timeframes. It can be a problem once we loose the language for longer timeframes. „Employee goes „I can’t think of a way to come up with a chain of two week events that would add up to your one year story. I can’t do it. It doesn’t make any sense.“ The role of middle management in story telling and expertise. A Peter Principle of temporality, explaining micro management. OKRs and stories Humanist culture is about "What am I doing?“ not „How do I measure what I am doing?“ but "What am I doing?“‚ Determinism vs. "The Quality within", love vs. Process The more efficient you get, the more exploration you can do. Science doe not have time as a component. The scientific method is always in retrospective. It always thinks about the past and it never thinks about the future. The predictions it does on the future are based on a determined future. There is no **Open** in science. The thing about the Jony Yveish people out there is that they are able to imagine things that don't exist and can't be measured. You can't use determinism to get there. You can't use quantification to get there. You can only use story telling and narrative. How can Roger Martin's Knowledge funnel be used in a way that it brings mystery? It needs to be used non-linearly. You throw a thing in the middle, it pops up to the top and a mystery is born. That'd be a different way to innovate rather than simply finding "valuable problems" to solve. Doing Hackathons more right and more wrong. Apollo 13 mission story: Time constraints, a known set of components and *isolation* (so the team has to be put away from everybody) "If we had this, then we could make that!" Three temporalities to making sense: - How do I make sense of what's going on? - Retrospective coherence:How can I later explain why I did this in the future. (constraining) - Prospective coherence. If I put this thing that doesn't exist into the world, how does it change the stories that I'm in? Books John Doerr: Measure What Matters Christina Wodtke: Radical Focus I guess this is really abstract stuff. I just love it and I assure that if you are a regular listener, there is a lot in it for you!      

Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of several books, including The Coaching Habit and Do More Great Work. Michael has written for or been featured in numerous publications including Business Insider, Fast Company, Forbes, The Globe & Mail and The Huffington Post. Michael is giving away two The Coaching Habit to CanInnovate listeners. So be sure to tune in and send me an email or comment down below.   Episode Overview:   A sought-after speaker, Michael regularly speaks to businesses and organizations and has delivered keynotes at Leadership, HR and Learning & Development, conferences around the world, including ATD, SHRM, IPL, HRPA and the Conference Board of Canada. Balancing out these moments of success, Michael was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident,” was sued by one of his Law School lecturers for defamation, and his first published piece of writing was a Mills & Boone short story called “The Male Delivery.” Michael left Australia 25 years ago to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where his only significant achievement was falling in love with a Canadian, which is why he now lives in Toronto, having spent time in London and Boston. He was the first Canadian Coach of the Year.   Michael explains why the manager only needs 7 good questions that transforms your leadership game on his book, The Coaching Habit.   “For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn't give you a fig. But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. For the teachings that Michael does, he tries to strive for that simplicity and he thinks that so often we over complicate things. Michael is all about making things simple, practical and doable. For normal people, coaching is a little but weird because some people are being traumatized by their coaches. For Michael, coaching is a very powerful leadership behavior to get the best out of people, get the best out of yourself and to have more impact in the work that you are doing. Part of the question that he usually ask is what is the least he can teach people and what is the least people need to have the most impact into the work they need.   “Spend less time asking people what to do and more times asking good questions.”   If you interact with other human beings in your life learning to be more coach-like which in the end is, can you beat yourself a little bit longer? Can you rush for action and give advice a little bit more slowly? Being a coach-like can be a little bit different for everybody.   “Most of us are advice giving maniacs”   Michael discovered that people advice is not nearly as good as they think it is because. The advice they have isn't solving the right problem The advice they have isn't that good of a solution People preferred to figure this stuff out themselves and come up with their own ideas and their own advice   Michael also talked about the And what else...   And what else, comes with an insight that a person answer to your first question is never there only answer and it rarely gets the best to answer. And what else is also a great management tool if you're going to slow down the rush to advice, asking and what else is a way of controlling your advice monster who is waiting for a leap of action that is trying to solve the problem and save the day. And you want to return this advice monster.   If you are saying yes to this, what are you saying no to? Michael’s strategy question in the book says: When you think about innovation and you think about the challenges that brings with it so much of what great innovation is about and being clear to what the no's are so you can say yes to the stuff that really matters. Every time you say yes you are rolling out a bunch of things that you can do instead of finding the things that you really want to do. What is ghost coaching (Coaching the Ghost) The difference between bad, good and great work and how to leverage it The benefits about giving less advice and staying curios longer   Should you get a coach when you are stuck in a rut? Michael says that you should not get a coach immediately. If getting a coach works for you financially and how will you can commit, that would be really powerful. But there are also passive voice that you can get unstuck.   Tips on how to get unstuck. An accountability partner Hire a coach Read a book   I have made worksheet to help you get unstuck in a rut. Click here to download worksheet.   Michael's Do Great Work book provides 15 very specific exercises to help you understand what great work is.    "The inspiration in your past suddenly make sense"   Sometimes seeking out other people's advice it is a way of detecting from you going away from understanding what's my real challenge what am i going to do about it and how am i going to take this on.   "Everything that you do in work or in life is forge into one or two different buckets"   And on sudden points you have to move away from collecting advice and you have to move into taking responsibility take your best jazz and move things on.   Resources Mentioned:   Book recommendation: Art is Work by Milton Glaser Bill Bryson books   Hot spot recommendation: Defina wood pizza in Toronto Byblos restaurant   Connect with Michael: The Coaching Habit Box of Crayons MichaelBungayStanier.com LinkedIn: Michael Bungay Stanier Twitter: @boxofcrayons Facebook: Box of Crayons on Facebook   Michael has created: 'The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More and Change the Way You Lead Forever', a new book about practical coaching for busy managers.

When I arrived for our interview at his farm near Bungay in Suffolk, Rowan Gormley, in shorts and a pink golf shirt, was busy watering plants in a small greenhouse. There was no indication from him that a few hours later he’d be hosting 300 people in a marquee set up between his homestead and the ruins of Mettingham Castle, built by one Sir John de Norwich in 1342. This historical structure might be on his grounds, but there’s nothing baronial about this fellow. As you’ll hear in what became an entrepreneurial masterclass. That’s Gormley’s style. Relaxed, informal, engaging. So we sat out in his garden during the height of a hot English summer, mercifully cooled by a breeze from the Atlantic a few miles away. In person his style reminded me a bit of Richard Branson, which is not really surprising considering that for some years Gormley worked closely with the famous founder of Virgin. The story starts in the South African industrial town called Boksburg…….a place better known for producing pugilists – like heavyweight champion Gerrie Coetzee - rather than for disruptors who are changing the world......

Michael Bungay Stanier was the first Canadian Coach of the Year, he is a Rhodes Scholar, and was recently recognized as the #3 Global Guru in coaching. In this episode, we talk about how to be a coach-like manager to increase your team’s productivity, impact and engagement.  Michael is the founder of Box of Crayons, a company best known for teaching 10-minute coaching so that busy managers can build stronger teams and get better results.  While he’s all for promoting coaching in the organisations, he says that we should never try to build a coaching culture. Coaching is a powerful force of change and goodness in organisational life but it’s a means to an end - a process that helps better outcomes happen. And when we talk about building a “coaching culture” too much, the danger is that we make coaching culture the thing rather than what it allows to bring to this world.  "Coaching is a powerful force for change in organisations. But we shouldn't forget that it's merely a means to an end - a process that helps better outcomes happen."   Michael knows that asking managers to do something over and above what they are already juggling as part of their role isn’t be realistic. So instead, he approaches coaching as “a way of being”. "Being a coach-like manager is not about adding something to your already too long to-do list. It's about transforming the way you do things." Being a coach-like manager is basically about being curious for a little bit longer and rushing to action and advice giving just a little bit more slowly. "To be a coach-like manager, all you need to do is to stay curious a little bit longer and rush to action just a little bit more slowly." Michael's no-nonsense, manager-focused approach to cultivating a coaching culture reminded me of the huge importance of empathy in a change effort.  And probably one of the reasons why so many change efforts fail, particualrly culture change efforts is that empathy is not easy. We are not wired to step into someone else’s shoes and to see the world from their perspective. But if you can do the empathy bit well, everything else just flows from there.  Empathy is not easy. We are not wired to step into someone else’s shoes and to see the world from their perspective. But if you can do the empathy bit well, everything else just flows from there.  What struck me in this interview is that Michael has done his empathy homework really well. He has very clear answers to questions like: “Why do managers resist coaching?” or “What are their concerns when it comes to coaching?”. No wonder that his approach to teaching coaching and building a coaching culture is met with such a great enthusiasm from people he works with.  What you will learn in this episode  Why it should never be just about building a coaching culture Key reasons managers don’t coach as much as they’d like to Ways of overcoming obstacles to managerial coaching What to do when you realise that you contribute to your team members’ challenges at work How to convince people in your organisation that coaching is worth their time and effort More about Michael When people talk about his successes, Michael likes to balance it out mentioning that he was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident,” was sued by one of his law school lecturers for defamation, and his first published piece of writing was a Harlequin romance short story called “The Male Delivery.”  On the way to founding Box of Crayons in 2002, Michael lived in Australia, England, the United States and Canada, his current home.  He has written a number of books. His latest, the Wall Street Journal bestseller The Coaching Habit, has sold over 350,000 copies. It has been praised as one of the few business books that actually makes people laugh out loud.  "If I had to pick a person to have dinner with, when I need to be prodded and challenged and inspired to think about the things I really am committed to think about for myself and what I’m doing, I’d pick Michael Bungay Stanier. He has an ability to shake our tree and make us more conscious and responsible about what we know but aren’t willing to admit we know yet.”  —David Allen, author of Getting Things Done  You can find out more about Michael at: boxofcrayons.com coachinghabit.com michaelbungaystanier.com Books and resources mentioned on this episode Michael Bungay Stanier, “Do More Great Work”  Michael Bungay Stanier, “The Coaching Habit” Frederic Laloux, “Reinventing Organisations” Richard Pascal, Jerry Sternin & Monique Sternin, “The Power of Positive Deviance”  The Coaching Habit Podcast The Great Work Podcast

Michael has written for or been featured in numerous publications including Business Insider, Fast Company, Forbes, and The Huffington Post. Michael believes that coaching is an essential skill for leaders. But for most busy, overworked managers, coaching employees is done poorly, or not at all.

At Box of Crayons, Michael and his team of facilitators help time-crunched managers coach in 10 minutes or less.

Today my guest is Stephen Bungay. Stephen is the author of The Art of Action, a book on strategy execution under uncertainty. The book draws from lessons learned in military organizations where they’ve had to deal with complex situations 200 years before businesses needed to. I personally always cringe a little when I hear people talking about military leadership in the context of knowledge work, but Stephen knows where to draw the line of applicability, and that’s actually one of the topics we discuss. We also talk about why our plans don’t always lead to the outcomes we want or why our plans don’t always lead to the actions we want. And what to do about it.
