With a background in theme park management that spans Six Flags, SeaWorld, and Crayola, Richard brought his expertise to Morgan's Wonderland in 2023. Known for being the world's first ultra-accessible theme park, Morgan's Wonderland creates a space where everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy the magic of theme parks. In this interview, Richard talks about solving complex problems beautifully, ultra accessibility, and shifting mindsets. Solving Complex Problems Beautifully "In architecture, you combine the beauty of art with the science of engineering. Here, we solve complex problems beautifully for our guests and team members alike." Richard's background in architecture shaped his ability to approach problems with creativity and practicality. At Morgan's Wonderland, this approach manifests in seamless solutions for accessibility challenges that preserve the guest experience. Whether it's redesigning a ride's layout or addressing operational hurdles, Richard emphasizes the importance of learning directly from frontline team members. By understanding the root causes of issues and collaborating with his staff, Morgan's Wonderland crafts solutions that prioritize inclusivity while maintaining operational excellence. Ultra Accessibility "Ultra accessibility means nobody is separated from their mobility or life-support devices." Richard shared the unique commitment Morgan's Wonderland has made to create a truly inclusive environment. Unlike typical accessibility accommodations, ultra-accessible rides allow guests to remain in their wheelchairs or bring essential devices on attractions, ensuring no one feels separated from their mobility aids. From flat-surface carousels to harnesses designed for torso stability, every detail is considered. This philosophy extends beyond rides, with accessible retail spaces and policies like allowing outside food for guests with special dietary needs. Shifting Mindsets "The mindset here is to say ‘yes' instead of ‘no.' We look for ways to make the impossible possible." Richard highlighted how Morgan's Wonderland challenges industry norms by rethinking what's possible for both guests and employees. For example, the park employs individuals with disabilities in a range of roles, including positions previously considered unsuitable. A visually impaired ride operator exemplifies this shift, leveraging heightened sensory awareness to manage operations with precision. This inclusive mindset not only enriches the guest experience but also serves as a model for other parks to expand opportunities for individuals with diverse abilities.   Richard Pretlow's leadership at Morgan's Wonderland exemplifies how shifting mindsets and solving problems creatively can lead to groundbreaking inclusivity.

We're undergoing a necessary renewable energy transition. And this transition will require an enormous amount of critical metals in order to power an economy without fossil fuels. Today, the processes we use to extract these materials - from copper, nickel, lithium, and more - are causing harm to both humans and our physical environment. So what do we do about it?  In his new book, Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future, Vince Beiser argues that there are huge opportunities to make mining safer, recycle more metals, and use less energy to help lessen the burden. Though the critical metals necessary for the transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles will never come without trade-offs, it's clear we could be doing much better. In this conversation, Beiser discusses the most pressing environmental damage and human rights concerns facing critical metals and how we could start to confront the problem. We also talk about the geopolitical implications of China's dominance in the critical metals supply chain,  the scale of demand for metals, and the need for equitable solutions in the energy transition. Finally, we explore deep sea mining, the challenges and opportunities in recycling metals, the growing right to repair movement, and the importance of reducing energy consumption to help ease demand.  Vince Beiser is an award-winning journalist and author. His first book, The World in a Grain, was a finalist for the PEN / E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award and a California Book Award. His work has appeared in Wired, Harper's Magazine, The Atlantic, and The New York Times, among other publications.

In this episode, Penny Lewis, a clinical psychologist, interviews her husband, Dr George Blair-West, a psychiatrist, on his presentation at RANZCP 2024 Congress about Unconscious Lateral Intelligence (ULI).  Our minds have an amazing capacity to solve the most challenging problems while not consciously thinking about it and being engaged in something totally unrelated. It can even do this while we sleep. Dr Blair-West outlines his research into how some of history's greatest minds have creatively solved problems, that have led to Nobel prizes, blockbuster movies and the most covered song of all time. He will explain how ULI works and how you can improve your access to, and make the most of, the most powerful part of your mind. Dr George Blair-West is an author and psychiatrist. He discusses the subject of his upcoming, sixth book on a subject he started researching and talking on 25 years ago. His books, and two TED talks, reflect his interest in existentialism, couple work and trauma therapy. His most recent book, ‘The Girl in the Green Dress' documents a legal first in Australia where Dissociative Identity Disorder became the basis for the prosecution rather than the defence. Penny Lewis is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Brisbane Topic suggestion:If you have a topic suggestion or would like to participate in a future episode of Psych Matters, we'd love to hear from you.Please contact us by email at: psychmatters.feedback@ranzcp.orgDisclaimer:This podcast is provided to you for information purposes only and to provide a broad public understanding of various mental health topics.

Herein lies an epic piece of advice shared—embracing this mindset alleviates anxiety for those with type-A personalities, encouraging a survival kit of adaptability in ever-changing environments.   Healing Beyond Boundaries: The Magic of FSM In the core of this discussion lies the heart of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy. Kim passionately talks about its magic—the swift relief it brings to complex physical ailments that seem eternal and its ability to change lives one patient at a time. Through real case stories, she illustrates how a simple shift in approach can unearth significant changes. FSM offers a reprieve and hope for those suffering chronic pain, teaching practitioners to respect its rapid outcomes and adapt strategies for lifelong benefits.   Diving Into Case Studies: An FSM Journey The symptoms and stories of various patients, including a gripping account of managing Dupuytren's contracture, highlight the power of FSM. Practitioners who faced curse-like chronic ailments saw light through this revolutionary therapy. Highlighting detailed case reports, Kim explains breakthroughs achieved with FSM, signifying its pivotal role in modern medical practices.   These case studies reflect the intertwining of knowledge, skill, and innovation that FSM supports, uncovering connections unseen in conventional treatments. They reiterate the FSM mantra: "think in three dimensions" to implement successful healing journeys.   Words Hold Power: Changing Narratives for Better Healing Kim emphasizes the importance of changing nomenclature in practice, accentuating how the words we use can impact patient mindsets and outcomes. Renaming 'concussion' to a more neutral term like 'Brain Balance' to alleviate anxiety is one such example. Words can invoke different emotions; the right language prepares the body and mind for healing.   Harnessing Internal Power: Mantras and Epigenetics Mantras like "I am safe," "This feels strong," and "Movement feels good" were highlighted as transformative tools fostering emotional safety during treatments. Delving into the realm of epigenetics, the speakers shared insights into how the environment affects genetic expression, showing promising ways to empower patients with autoimmune diseases to change their narratives.   Honoring the Journey At the essence of FSM lies a powerful message—each patient deserves happiness and healing. Healing isn't just freeing one from pain; it's about elevating the entire life experience and understanding that we are all integral parts of a bigger picture with our stories interlinking in the vast tapestry of life. FSM continues to unlock doors to miraculous recovery, not by magic but through steadfast learning, compassionate patience, and creative problem-solving. Each session is a tribute to selfless purveyance among practitioners and the shared mission of changing lives, one patient at a time.

LEADERS MAINTAIN RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF COMPLEX PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY DO HARD THINGS “Leaders who tackle complex issues in business, relationships and their own personal growth must learn to become and remain resilient. The most important skill one must master as a resilient leader is the willingness and discipline to DO HARD THINGS.

This #coachbetter episode is part of our series featuring coaching conversations with one of Kim's amazing clients, Cary Hart, who is a graduate of all 3 of our Certificate Programs: COETAIL, The Coach, and Women Who Lead. HUGE thank you to Cary for being willing to record one of her coaching sessions to share with all of you! In Kim and Cary's conversation, you're going to hear how having a coach from outside of your school community can take a very complicated situation, with a lot of layers, detail, and complexity, and through targeted questions, paraphrasing and intentional focus, surface a simple and systemic solution. The challenge Cary presents in this call is one that, if you've been a tech coach in particular, will be very familiar to you, so some aspects of the solution here might be immediately applicable to your school setting, too. You'll notice the ways that Cary was able to share the different dynamics of her challenge, and through Kim's paraphrasing, questioning, and identifying the root of the issue, they were able to move onto a deeper discussion of potential solutions that address all of the layers to this challenge that Cary's been struggling with.  Find the show notes for this episode here.

How do you uncover what the real pain points are so that you can address them?In this discussion, we explore the approach of human-centered design and how it can be used to both discover and uplift perspectives to help find community-focused solutions.To learn more about human-centered design, we talk with Michelle Carrillo and Leslie Tergas of ThinkPlace West.  The discussion explores their work using the “four voices of design” approach, and uplifts examples of how to use this approach within collective work.
