Podcasts about Bungay

On Sunday the 3rd of August I had the chance to attend the Black Shuck Festival in Bungay, a lovely town in East Suffolk. We briefly talked about the legendary Black Dog, Black Shuck, in Episode 5 of Season 6, but I wanted to dig deeper. I wanted to know more about its story, its impact on Bungay, and its cultural significance today. Plus, what goes into organizing such a fantastic event? Who's involved, and how do they pull it all together?To get the scoop, I was lucky enough to chat with Chris Reeve and James Mayhew. These individuals not only know the legend of Black Shuck inside out but also understand the intricacies of putting together this fantastic festival.We met at Bungay's Museum, and I had the pleasure of interviewing them both. Their insights were fascinating, and I'm excited to share these interviews with you as we gear up for Season 7 of the Haunted UK Podcast.Before we start, stay tuned for a special prize giveaway!

As autumn descends, I wanted to face a classic symbol in British and European folklore - the black dogWe start in East Anglia, England, with perhaps the most famous of all shadow hounds: Black Shuck, who makes an appearance in St Mary's church of Bungay in 1577, storms to raise havoc. And a reading drawn from Ghosts and Witches by Wentworth + Ayrton, 1991, on the Galleytrot and Shuck.Before facing:The Barghest of Yorkshire, accompanied by rattling chains, may have inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula's transformation into an enormous black dog in Whitby.Yeth Hounds (Devon)Whisht Hounds (Devon/Dartmoor)Richard Cabell's Hounds (Dartmoor) widely considered a major inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles.The Devil's Dandy Dogs (Cornwall): A terrifying hunt led by Satan himself.The Wish Hounds or Witch Hounds of SussexThe Church Grim, a guardian spirit that appears as a large black dogAnd The Moddey Dhoo of the Isle of Man: Meaning "black dog" in Manx, this giant shaggy-haired dog that haunted Peel Castle And we finish with readings of The Moddey Doo or the Black Dog of Peel Castle from Manx Fairy Tales by Sophia Morrison, 1911 and The Book of Were-Wolves by Sabine Baring-Gould, 1865. And accounts of witch wolves from Estonia.These are just a few of the countless legends of black dogs, wolves and hounds. Do drop me a message if you would like to share your own favourites!

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.

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.

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

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.
