Debriefing can have a powerful impact on business when done correctly.In this powerful conversation Robert "Cujo" Teschner breaks down the idea behind a debrief and to execute them to achieve significant results.  His definition of a debrief is simple and elegant - Debrief is the constructive evaluation of the quality of our decisions and associated actions measured against the objectives we set out to achieve.The key words of that definition are what Cujo unpacks in detail.  He starts by differentiating between a debrief and feedback.  Current business culture puts a heavy emphasis on feedback and while that has its benefits it often is met with a negative connotation.  A debrief has an entirely different objective and when the culture is created to execute them efficiently, consistently and with a high level of vulnerability magical things begin happening. Cujo gets tactical into how you can begin executing debriefs that make a true impact.  He covers the importance of perspective and ensuring that every seat at the table has an opportunity to be heard.  He breaks down the importance of debriefing wins and not solely focusing on areas of improvement.  This is a monumental shift in thinking as most organizations never take the time to research why and initiative, process, sale was such a big win and spend too much time discussing what went wrong.This conversation you want to have a notepad ready as the wisdom Cujo shared will move the needle.  By the way Cujo is a former fighter pilot and his stories are absolutely incredible!  We thank him for his service and how he continues to make those around him better everyday.

Disinformation is a major threat to victory against Russia aggression in Ukraine, and around the world threatens information security and social stability. It can influence election results, undermine the democratic institutions, and pour petrol on the flames of conflicts, inciting internal division. I discussed the mechanics and narratives of Russian information hybrid warfare with Oleksandra Tsekhanovska.

I meet many people who are unconscious competents. They intuitively know what to do, and largely are successful at doing it. And then there are the conscious competents. They took the time to understand what they do including the why of it, and the value of it. They document, teach, and, most importantly for any leader competing for funds, sell their program to their stakeholders. I met Bill Marcisz when he was the Executive Director of Security, Safety, and Emergency Management at AdventHealth in Central Florida. AdventHealth is known as a trailblazer in their research and their use of emerging technology. Bill not only ran this critically acclaimed program, but he also was called upon as a nationally recognized and Board-Certified Security Expert.

Are our scientific assumptions justified? In this episode we're going to be examining the assumptions of Western Science. All science is based on assumptions. In order to isolate systems in experiments and standardise measurements of the target data, other variables need to be pinned down so scientists can form precise mathematical models, that can then be repeated accurately in the peer review process. Today we're going to look at these assumptions, and establish if they indeed have become standard, fixed and unquestioned as some critics claim. One of those critics is Cambridge educated biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who gave a TED talk in 2013 about the assumptions of western science, which was banned by TED's anonymous board of scientific advisors for not being a ‘fair description of scientific assumptions'. Far from quieting the controversy, the ban caused outcries of censorship, and the ripped video was seen many millions of times on You Tube, probably many times more than had it been left to stand as one scientists opinion. Today I want to examine just how fair his description was. To help us examine his claims is one of Rupert's old friends and supporters, a specialist in the history and philosophy of science, an author and the program director of the Scientific and Medical Network, David Lorimer. He is also President of Wrekin Trust and Chief Consultant of Character Education Scotland. He is also a former President of the Swedenborg Society, and Vice-President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies. Originally a merchant banker then a teacher of philosophy and modern languages at Winchester College, he is the author and editor of over a dozen books, most recently ‘The Protein Crunch' (with Jason Drew) and ‘A New Renaissance', and out this year his new book ‘a quest for wisdom'. He is the originator of the Inspire-Aspire Values Poster Programmes, which this year involved over 25,000 young people. What we discuss in this episode: 00:00 Compulsory philosophy and death 07:32 Examining Rupert Sheldrake's 10 claimed assumptions of western science 09:10 The ‘Life and nature are mechanistic' assumption 19:30 The ‘Matter is unconscious' assumption 29:40 ‘The laws of nature are constant' assumption 38:26 The Galileo Commission - get everyone to look though the telescope 43:00 Reality is relational not relative - Apilla Colorado and Leroy Little bear 44:45 The ‘Nature is Purposeless' assumption - teleology 52:30 ‘Biological heredity is only physical' and ‘memory is in your Brain' assumptions 55:00 Morphogenetic fields and memories of previous lives and birthmarks 1:01:45 ‘Your mind is in your head, your consciousness is correlated to your brain activity' assumption 1:05:30 ‘Psychic phenomena and telepathy are impossible' assumption FOR PART 2 TIME CODES AND THE MANY MORE REFERENCES FROM THIS EPISODE PLEASE VISIT: https://www.chasingconsciousness.net/episode-13-assumptions-of-science-david-lorimer References: Rupert Sheldrake ‘Science set free' David Lorimer ‘A Quest for Wisdom' David Lorimer ‘Thinking Beyond the Brain' The Galileo Commission - get everyone to look though the telescope The Scientific and Medical Network

In this episode of Masters of Community, we speak with Venessa Paech, Australia's leading online communities specialist and Founder and Chief Consultant at PeerSense. Venessa is a seasoned online community strategist, manager, researcher, and educator with over twenty years of experience building community online. She's also the Co-founder and Director of Australian Community Managers (ACM), a network organization for community building professionals in Australia. In this episode, Venessa and I dive deep into what community governance looks like and what your MVP governance program should look like. We also talk about AI and how these tools are helping us build, understand, and moderate our communities more efficiently. You're going to really enjoy some of the more advanced-level community focused topics that we have in this discussion. We ask a really interesting question of “Is there going to be a day soon where a community can be entirely built by robots with no human facilitation?” You'll find out what her answer is in this episode. Who is this episode for? Community managers and moderators who are also curious about the role of AI in community building and management. Three key takeaways: 1. Are tools enough to build a high-engagement community?: Without a solid social infrastructure, tools cannot engage the people in a community. Why are you better together as a community than apart? Asking such strategic questions will help discover the true value that your community brings. 2. Community governance isn't as boring as it sounds: Laws to prevent online harassment help hold community managers and creators accountable to protecting basic public decency online - just the way they would in person. Proactive governance includes rules, rewards, and recognition around behavior that demonstrates the character of your community. It also includes any reprimands against behavior that goes against your community's goals and values. Risk planning for community values will find its way into Community Operations over time. Planning for governance starts conversations that help examine the creator's vision for the community's culture and character. 3. AI-driven moderation: Governance automation should be more nuanced and include specific actions and behaviors, rather than being binary. Personalization can create “hand-rails” to help guide a member's journey, but looks very different from one community to another. Community strategists can use AI to find new patterns and discover new ways members discover relationships, but these tools need large data sets for accurate predictions. There's always a risk of bias coming from existing data sets into AI-driven moderation. AI-moderated communities can be used to advance both good and bad causes. Notable Quotes: 1. “Governance...It's really about how we make decisions that define who we are and where we assign value: Is that a valuable activity? Is that not a valuable activity? Where do we draw our lines? What is crossing the line?” 2. “..potentially using that data as a predictive tool to say, look, these are the trends, this is what's been happening in the last few years around content, around behavior, around topics that are discussed.. and therefore extrapolating, this is what might be happening in the future. It's not a hundred percent reliable of course, but when you've got big data sets, which machine learning loves, then you can do some really interesting things in terms of uncovering hidden gems.” 3. “If you label something as toxic, well, it's toxic perhaps to wider society. You know, our norms, our ethics might say, that's not cool. We don't like that. That's not acting. But within that community, it's not at all toxic, it's who we are, what we value, what we believe.” Answers to rapid-fire questions: 1. If you could only eat one kind of food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Noodles in any form, particularly Laksa - a Malaysian coconut curry noodle soup. 2. What's your favorite book to give as a gift to others? “Sand Talk” by Tyson Yunkaporta. 3. Wildest Community Story? X-Files Anonymous, her first true online community where she met and dated her now-husband. 4. A go-to community engagement tactic, or conversation starter? Sharing pictures of pets. 5. Have you ever worn socks with sandals? No, but she won't stop others from wearing them. 6. Who in the world of the community would you most like to take for lunch? Jane Jacobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and John Cote. 7. The weirdest community you've ever been a part of? All the FITA communities. 8. What's a community product or technology that you wish existed? To be able to have a conversation with your community as an avatar would be incredibly interesting. 9. What's a question I didn't ask you that I should have? Similarities between working in theater and working in community. 10. Twitter-sized piece of advice from her deathbed? Truly accepting yourself for who you are and having a relationship with an animal.
