She highlighted the importance of understanding and adapting to new regulations, like the EU's Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and the shift towards decentralizing clinical trials post-pandemic. Karen also shared her insights on the critical role of diversity and inclusion in clinical trials, emphasizing how varying responses to treatments across different demographics necessitate a more inclusive research approach. Furthermore, she touched upon the significance of real-world evidence and data in complementing clinical trials, offering a more comprehensive view of a treatment's effectiveness across diverse populations. Beyond her professional achievements, Karen is also gearing up to host a series of podcasts and discussions for Vistatec's Life Sciences Division, focusing on the life sciences and healthcare sector. This initiative aims to share knowledge and insights from experts within the field, further solidifying her commitment to fostering understanding and innovation in the localization of life sciences.

Join Franciscan Associate Rick Dietz as he traces his spiritual journey of cobbling together his own path with God until his discovery of Franciscan Spirituality. This encounter brought him into a community of brothers and sisters, a deepened relationship with God who is good and loving, and a greater freedom to serve those in need.   Currently Director of the Franciscan Life Center which is based out of Little Falls, Minnesota, Rick notes “that at the core of the Trinity is a good and loving relationship between the Trinity which over spills into all of creation....We are really brothers and sisters to all that is in creation, and should be respectful of and defenders of all that is in creation.”   “I started looking into Franciscan spirituality and the understanding of the Trinity and how this divine relationship spills over into creation. ...Franciscans have this understanding that relationships are not just prized, but are somehow reflective of the divine. There's a primacy to relationship more so than of knowledge. Relationship and spirituality go together much more than knowledge and spirituality.”   References:   Masculine Spirituality: Rick recommends this classic: Wildmen, Warriors, and Kings: Masculine Spirituality and the Bible by Patrick Arnold (https://www.amazon.com/Wildmen-Warriors-Kings-Masculine-Spirituality/dp/0824512529).   Hesychia School of Spiritual Direction: http://desertrenewal.org/hesychia-sd-school/.   Saint Francis of Assisi's Praises to be said at all Hours, verse 11 “All powerful, most holy, most high, supreme God: all good, supreme good, totally good, You Who alone are good, may we give you all praise, all glory, all thanks, all honor, all blessing, and all good.  So be it!  So be it!  Amen.” See: https://franciscantradition.org/francis-of-assisi-early-documents/the-saint/writings-of- francis/the-undated-writings/the-praises-to-be-said-at-all-the-hours/178-fa-ed-1-page-162.   God as Good and Loving: Rick submitted this passage for your reflection: Saint “Bonaventure was apparently impressed by the notion of ultimate divine goodness.  In the New Testament, he writes, God reveals his name as Good (Lk 18:19 ‘No one is good but God alone'); whereas in the Old Testament, God revealed his name as Being (Exod 3:14 ‘I am who Am').  Since God reveals Godself as Good in the New Testament, the Trinity must be essentially grounded in the good…Charity (love) is the supreme content of the good, the highest form of the good.  Thus, if God is good then God is also charity or love.  Where there is fullness of divinity there is fullness of goodness, and where there is fullness of goodness there is fullness of charity (love).” -Ilia Delio OSF, Simply Bonaventure, pp. 41-42, Hyde Park NY, New City Press, 2001. (https://www.newcitypress.com/simply-bonaventure-2nd-edition.html)   All of creation are sisters and brothers, sharing the same source: “From a reflection on the primary source of all things, filled with even more abundant piety, he would call creatures, no matter how small, by the name of "brother" or "sister," because he knew they shared with him the same beginning.” -St. Bonaventure, Major Legend 8:5; see: https://www.franciscantradition.org/francis-of-assisi-early-documents/the-founder/the-legends-and-sermons-about-saint-francis-by-bonaventure-of-bagnoregio/the-major-legend-of-saint-francis/the-life-of-blessed-francis/1679-fa-ed-2-page-590.   God as Triune Communion; call to deep relationships of love: “For Franciscans, the moral order transcends the individual self and points toward communion and relationship with others, but ultimately with God. Understanding God as Triune Communion, participation in divine life is the true human goal. This goal is ultimately a deep relationship of love based upon the nature of God as source of reality. Relationship is the moral goal because the divine is essentially relational, because we are created in the image of God, and because we are invited to enter freely into that relationship.”      -Mary Beth Ingham, CSJ, “Moral Goodness and Beauty,” in The Franciscan Moral Vision:         Responding to Gods Love, ed. Thomas A. Nairn. (Franciscan Institute Publications, 2013), p. 118.   Styles of Leadership transformed; Pat Smith reflects: “Franciscans lead from a position of littleness. The Incarnation was central to Francis' theology; it formed and shaped his leadership style. He led from the stance of humility, like the Word of God who bent low to assume our humanity. Franciscan leadership is not something to be sought but rather is to be humbly lived wherever we happen to find ourselves. Francis found God and led others to God in the context of simply being a little human creature.” -Pat Smith OSF, “Franciscan Leadership: Mutual Love Generating a Future,” Keynote    Presentation of the Franciscan Federation Annual Conference, July 10-13, 2009.   Being examples and mirrors in community: “For the Lord himself has placed us as a model, as an example and mirror not only for others, but also for our sisters which the Lord has called to our way of life as well, that they in turn might be a mirror and example to those living in the world. Since the Lord has called us to such great things that those who are a mirror and example to others may be reflected in us, we are greatly bound to bless and praise God and to be strengthened more and more to do good in the Lord.”             -Saint Clare of Assisi, Testament 19-22 See: https://www.franciscantradition.org/clare-of-assisi-early-documents/the-testament-clare-of-assisi/237-ca-ed-1-page-61.   Saint Clare's method of contemplative prayer and how bring it into the world: In her Second Letter to Agnes of Prague, Clare includes four steps, inviting us to embrace the poor Christ, following him as we Gaze, Consider, Contemplate, and Imitate. -2LAg 18-20; see the fuller text: https://www.franciscantradition.org/clare-of-assisi-early-documents/the-second-letter-to-agnes-of-prague/225-ca-ed-1-page-49.   Saint Francis saw all as gift, Rick calls him a “re-gifter;” he often gave away cloaks or tunics that had been given to him. -See: Saint Bonaventure, Major Legend 8:5: See text: https://www.franciscantradition.org/francis-of-assisi-early-documents/the-founder/the-legends-and-sermons-about-saint-francis-by-bonaventure-of-bagnoregio/the-major-legend-of-saint-francis/the-life-of-blessed-francis/1679-fa-ed-2-page-590.   Pope Francis, encyclicals and documents draw from Saint Francis' experience of others and all of creation being our brothers and sisters. --Laudato Si: you can purchase a print copy, or here is an electronic version: http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html. --The Franciscan Character of ‘Laudato Si', by Dan Horan: https://www.americamagazine.org/issue/franciscan-character-laudato-si. --Fratelli Tutti: you can purchase a print copy, or here is an electronic version: http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.html. --Franciscan Study Guide for Fratelli Tutti: https://www.franciscanmedia.org/fratelli-tutti-study-guide. --Document on Human Fraternity for world peace and living together is a brief consideration of some of these values; signed 2-4-19 by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Yayeb: http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/travels/2019/outside/documents/papa-francesco_20190204_documento-fratellanza-umana.html.

I'm your host, Kelly Molson. Each episode, I speak with industry experts from the attractions world. In today's episode, I speak with Michelle Emerson, Marketing and Development Director of Eureka! The National Children's Museum. We discussed their really exciting plans for Eureka! Mersey, and how they're co-creating a brand new science and discovery centre that's going to be based in Wirral. If you like what you hear, you can subscribe on all the usual channels by searching Skip the Queue.Kelly Molson: Michelle, it's so lovely to finally get you on the podcast. I think I've been trying for about a year. So thank you for coming on. I really appreciate it. As ever, I'm going to start off with my icebreaker question. What would your dream house be like? And where would it be located?Michelle Emerson: I know this because I've already got the field in mind. It's about 200 meters down the road from where I currently live. And lockdown has enabled me to play on a lovely free app called Floorplanner. So I actually designed it. I know exactly where it's going to be located in the field just down the road. I just need to persuade the farmer to sell me the field.Kelly Molson: Oh, I love this.Michelle Emerson: And then I need to raise the money to build the house. But it's a very rural, very low-key single-story, cedar roof, off-grid sustainable house in the countryside with a separate garage and art studio for my husband, and a gym room and games room for my son. And then I get the rest of the house.Kelly Molson: Oh, that sounds absolutely idyllic. And raising the funds and getting the field, that's just minor technicalities. Right? You already know what it's going to look like. That's the most important thing.Michelle Emerson: And every time I take the dog on a walk through that field, it's already there in my mind. I can see it. It's already there. I just need to seem to put it into action.Kelly Molson: How perfect. We love Grand Designs here. We do watch that quite frequently. Are you going to be comfortable living in a caravan while this will happens?Michelle Emerson: Absolutely. We have a camper van called Woody that we've had for a number of years. All three of us. My son is 11 now. So he's getting a little bit big, but all three of us, plus a Labrador dog, can quite happily co-exist in that space for probably up to about nine months, nine or 10 months.Kelly Molson: Michelle, I feel like you're living my dream. I feel like we're quite aligned there. I would be all right in a caravan.Michelle Emerson: What's the worst that can happen?Kelly Molson: I've got two dogs. To be honest, there's a lot of bad stuff that could go down in a caravan with those two. So who knows. Right. Would you rather be covered in fur or covered in scales?Michelle Emerson: Oh, my word. I think I'm going to say scales.Kelly Molson: Ooh. Oh, I wasn't expecting that.Michelle Emerson: Well, I don't really know why. I think because that means I could be a swimmer. So I would be an animal that could swim, but also be on land. Don't like being too hot.Kelly Molson: Yeah. It'd be really hot with a big old fur on you, would you?Michelle Emerson: Yeah. Yes. I think I'm a scaling person.Kelly Molson: Okay.Michelle Emerson: Sounds good.Kelly Molson: All right. Yeah, it does, doesn't it when you think about it? But then the benefits of the scales, like swimming, would be good. I'm a swimmer. Yeah, but I was thinking furry because I'm a little bit furry already. So I was like, well, it wouldn't be that much difference.Kelly Molson: Okay. Next one. If you can have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?Michelle Emerson: Friends-Kelly Molson: Oh, that's nice.Michelle Emerson: ... an unlimited supply of good friends.Kelly Molson: That is lovely. Oh, that's made me go a bit warm and fuzzy. Because I was thinking, sushi.Michelle Emerson: Yeah.Kelly Molson: Friends is a good one. Okay. All right. Now, this is the bit that we do with all of our guests. So I hope you have prepared this one. What's your unpopular opinion, Michelle?Michelle Emerson: Oh, you know this one, Kelly.Kelly Molson: I do. And I've seen photographic evidence as well.Michelle Emerson: Crocs and socks. Crocs and socks. And I've worked at home 12 months now, and my feet have not been in anything other than Crocs, walking boots, and Wellie boots, or bare feet. So the idea of putting office shoes back on is terrifying. I just don't think it's going to happen. And if my boss was to allow me to wear socks and Crocs to work, I would be very happy.Kelly Molson: See, this is my question. Is socks and Crocs in public or just in your house? Because I think if it's in your house or your back garden, that's okay.Michelle Emerson: It's already in my house and back garden. And it should be in public. It should be an acceptable thing. And I know that's a very unpopular opinion because I've been told by many people that should not be allowed to happen. But if we've learned anything from lockdown, can it be that we can just be a little bit more comfortable?Kelly Molson: Okay. I'll accept comfort, but I can't accept the socks and Crocs in public. I just can't, Michelle. And, listeners, tell me how you feel about this because I've seen this. Michelle has sent me a picture of her wearing these socks and Crocs, and I'm not going to lie. They need to stay in your house, Michelle.Michelle Emerson: Well, even though the socks have cat pictures on them?Kelly Molson: The socks were glorious. It was just the combo of them and the Crocs. That's all I'm saying.Kelly Molson: All right. Thank you for answering those questions. So just as a caveat, Michelle and I know each other. We've worked together for a number of years. But for our listeners, I'd love to know a little bit about your background, Michelle. So how did you get to where you are now?Michelle Emerson: So this is quite a long and convoluted journey to Eureka! I never anticipated being in a visitor attraction sector or tourism or anything like that. I did my degree in political geography, and I had a desire at that stage in my life to be working in one of the large international humanitarian organisations. I wanted to be in Africa, in Asia, somewhere on the ground, digging wells, doing humanitarian work, working with people somewhere where it was needed.Michelle Emerson: And straight after graduating from university in 1991, I went and lived in Ukraine for 12 months. And at that time, Ukraine was newly independent from the Soviet Union. It didn't have a currency. It was rations. And it was a fantastic experience. And in hindsight, one which I wish I'd done when I was slightly older and more able to appreciate, probably, but I lived with a local family, slept on their sofa for 12 months. And I taught English in the local school, secondary school, with no teaching experience whatsoever. But it was a brilliant experience.Michelle Emerson: And in fact, two years ago, my family and I went back to stay with the same family 25 years later.Kelly Molson: Oh, how lovely.Michelle Emerson: Yeah. And we did a lot of the same things. We went to look around the school. Absolutely brilliant timing in that Grandma and Granddad who lived in the house, it was a three-generational house, we're both still alive when we went back, and have both since passed away. So we did get to see both of them as well. So 25 years on.Michelle Emerson: So I did that. And then I came back to Sheffield where I did my high schooling works for the University of Sheffield in an environmental consultancy role. And then only a few years later decided that I would be moving to Australia.Michelle Emerson: So then I lived in Australia for eight years, and I worked for a small charity that was looking after deaf children. It was called the Shepherd Centre. And it was the charity that enabled children who were born profoundly deaf to develop language rather than using sign language. It's quite experimental, quite new at the time. It's very commonplace now. But I worked for them in a business development capacity. And one of the sponsors that we got on board at that organisation was Microsoft. And eventually, I moved over, and I went to work for Microsoft in Australia, reporting into a regional head office in Singapore, managing what was called Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher Program at the time, which was about getting old computers, PCs, and hardware back from the big corporations, refurbishing them, re-licensing them, and sending them to schools and charities and so on.Michelle Emerson: So I did that for a number of years, and then long story short decided I wasn't going to end up living in Australia forever. So I'd been there for about eight years at this point, packed up my stuff, put my backpack on, went and travelled around Southeast Asia for a year. During which time I decided I would make the decision as to whether I was going back to Australia or [inaudible 00:09:11]. And made that decision and arrived back in the UK back to Sheffield. And then started working for the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action, a membership organisation called NAVCA. Did that for five years. And again, a business development role. And then the opportunity came up at Eureka! The marketing director role there. And I went for it, and the rest, as they say, is history. I've been there 10 years now.Kelly Molson: Ten years. So Eureka!, for me, is it's such a magic place. I know. Whenever I talk about Eureka!, I have a really huge smile on my face because there is just something magic about it. When you get there, the air just feels like it's filled with excitement. It's such a special place. What I always find is, when I say we work with Eureka! The National Children's Museum, it's amazing. It's hard to describe what Eureka! is because you've got a museum in the title. There's that assumption that it's, "Oh, well, is it like the Bethnal Green Children's Museum?"Kelly Molson: And it's like, "Well, no. Actually, it's all about play. You can touch everything, and it's incredible. They've got this massive nose, and you can shove your head up there. And there's bogeys up there." And it's great, but it's a hard concept to describe. How do you do that? Share with our listeners how you describe what Eureka! is.Michelle Emerson: So the concept of a children's museum is a North American concept. And if you go to North America, you will find a children's museum in pretty much every town and city there. They are a very established part of community life. And that's where the term museum comes from. That's the term that they use. Our model is based on that. And therefore, that historically is the term that we have used as well. But a children's museum is not a collections-based museum. There is nothing historical in the museum, as people might traditionally expect. It is a visitor attraction for children aged naught to 11, and their parents.Michelle Emerson: We are all about family learning, family engagement, having fun together as a family with your siblings or your parents or grandparents, and developing a lifelong love of learning and visiting cultural attractions. And developing that pathway to further opportunities in more traditional cultural attractions, perhaps as they get older. Or developing a confidence in being in spaces and learning about things that they enjoy. And that is done through the medium of play.Michelle Emerson: At Eureka! there are galleries, but each gallery is very much based around something that's very familiar to children. So our biggest gallery is called All About Me. And as most parents out there will know, children in any age up to 11 are absolutely fascinated by themselves. It's the thing that is most familiar to them. They want to understand. And they're fascinated by sick and poo and bogeys, and all of those things.Kelly Molson: As am I still, clearly.Michelle Emerson: As are a lot of adults. I can tell you, we get a lot of fun there in Eureka!. And so putting them in a space where they can play with exhibits and with interactives that explain some of these things in a very playful, engaging way, just gives them a little bit of an insight into themselves, how they interact with the world around them, how the world impacts on them and their decision-making and so on. So it's all very playful. It's all fun. You won't find any curriculum-based learning. It's all learning by self.Michelle Emerson: And a lot of people will come to Eureka! two or three times a year as the kids get older, and find something new each time as their understanding of the world changes with their age and what they're engaging with at school. So there's something for everyone, pretty much, from babies through to 11 years old.Kelly Molson: Through to 43-year-old adults. I'm not going to lie. It was a while ago that I first visited. It's probably about four or five years ago. But I can remember Paul and I coming up and being a little bit let loose. Have a look around, and see what you feel about it. And I just thought this is great. Because we were trying out all of the things. We were doing what was the longest jump. And I can remember putting my shoes into the world's biggest shoes, and just doing all of those things. Like I say, it's just such an engaging and a magic place. And it just feels like a really special place to be. So I can imagine working there every day is a really great feeling, with the people that you're surrounded with as well.Michelle Emerson: Yeah. Yeah. It's a very fun place to work, even behind the scenes. You don't create experiences like that for other people without having fun with it yourself.Kelly Molson: No. Not at all. And I know you all are a very fun bunch. I want to ask. So there's loads of stuff that I want to talk about for feature. So you've got some really exciting plans coming up, and I want to focus on that. But we can't really talk about that without just taking a bit of a snapshot of where we're at at the moment. So how has it been for you? It's been a really challenging time. You've been closed down. You've been open again. You've been shut again. It's really tough. How has it been for you through those lockdown periods?Michelle Emerson: It's been challenging. I think there wouldn't be a single organisation in the sector that wouldn't say that, you can't use the word unprecedented because it's overused now, but this has been something that is off the scale. And nobody could have predicted or planned for, perhaps, more so than putting something away for a rainy day kind of thing.Michelle Emerson: And in fact, Eureka! has been in an unusual position through this in that we are known as a museum. We have museum in the title, like we've just discussed, but we are not, for funding purposes, able to apply for any of the support for museums. Because we are not a collections-based organisation. We're not a heritage-based organisation, although we do have heritage assets to look after on our sites. That's just an accident of geography, really.Michelle Emerson: But we have found ourselves ineligible to apply for a lot of supports. But saying that, the furlough and the business support has been absolutely crucial to supporting us over the last 12 months. And it has made a massive difference to how we see the future. We are now looking at not being able to open until the end of May, which misses some key dates in the diary for us, as it does for everybody else. But we're confident that when we do reopen we'll have a successful summer. And that we'll be able to re-engage, and depend on our loyal visitors, really, and the people in the North of England that know and love us, to come back. And it was incredible. As soon as the announcements were made about potential reopening dates a week or so ago, the number of people contacting us asking, "When can we come? When are you open bookings? When will tickets be available?" It was just phenomenal.Michelle Emerson: And it's so reassuring. It's lovely to have a whole bunch of people out there, families out there that are desperate. Their kids are asking when can we go back to Eureka!? And that is a lovely position to be in. And we're very grateful for that. And we will do our very best to get open as soon as possible, and to provide those lovely experiences. People, families are going to need it more than ever.Kelly Molson: Oh, for sure. People are desperate for experiences. We've been shut away in these four walls for such a long time. I do think that there's going to be a huge resurgence in experiences and people wanting to visit attractions. But I think you noticed that last summer. You said about your loyal visitors. You have an annual pass scheme at Eureka!, which is incredibly good value. And I think when you opened again last summer, you were practically sold out every single day, weren't you? The time slots were booked. And the people that were wanting to come back, it was pretty overwhelming, wasn't it? But fabulous.Michelle Emerson: Yeah, it was. It was unknown. Eureka! have never operated a pre-booking system. It is an annual pass model. So people have their free tickets that they can come back as many times as they want within the year. They don't need to pre-book that. There's no exclusions. They can come by holidays, half-term holidays, whatever. And we've been operating Eureka! for 28 years. So we know average to patterns very well. We know what difference the weather makes, and all those things, that we can predict at the beginning of the day what the day's going to be like. We've never done a pre-booking or pre-ticketing system. And so that was an unknown. And obviously, the caps on the number of people able to visit every day are lower than they would have been previously.Michelle Emerson: So to sell out felt great, although we were still a long way below the numbers that would have come pre-COVID on that particular day, and with those particular conditions and so on. But it's hugely reassuring. The difficulty being, really, that we have to ensure that financially repeat visitors on free tickets aren't outweighing the new visitors who are buying their annual pass for the first time. And cultivating that new audience that we need to come through the doors every year to ensure that, financially, ticket sales and admissions are still our key source of income.Michelle Emerson: So yes, it's a balancing act. But we were absolutely thrilled. And so reassured that all the work that we put in before opening last summer to making sure things were safe for visitors and to making sure the ticketing system works and all the admin behind that worked and that people were going to have a stress-free experience, rather than imagining it's all very restricted and not everything's open. And it was all one-way systems and all the rest of it. We got the balance right, we feel. And visitors reported back that we got the balance right on that.Kelly Molson: Yeah.Michelle Emerson: It'll be interesting to see how we need to tweak that and change that going forward. And it's too early to make plans, really, it feels at the moment. Because we just don't know what it's going to look like, even at the end of May. Even though it's nice to have a date to it, too, but-Kelly Molson: Yeah. That must feel really good that there is something to be working towards. It's been so long that you've just been in the, "Well, we just don't know, we can't plan for anything. It might be a couple of weeks. It might be another three months." But yeah, it must be really good to have that.Michelle Emerson: Getting your front-of-house-staff team back on board after such a long time away, get retraining, re-engaging, re-motivating and all that stuff. You don't want to do that in two weeks prior to an opening date, and then that date be shifted. And then have to do it again six weeks later. It's very difficult to make sure that everything that you're doing is in the best timeline possible when you don't know what the end result is, what the end date is going to be. So yeah. But well pleased to have a date.Kelly Molson: Good. Lots of positives to work towards. My observations from what you did brilliantly is that as an organisation, you reacted really quickly to what the situation was happening last year. So what was lovely to see is how much effort you were putting into actually engaging with your audience whilst the audience couldn't actually visit the attraction. So there were some really brilliant things that you did. You already had an online shop. So you could already encourage people to buy gift certificates or make donations when they couldn't visit the centre. So that was a real positive.Kelly Molson: But what I loved was the Eureka! At Home section. We threw that up really quickly, but there's loads of parents and kids. And they're stuck at home. We do all of these fun things. Let's make it a recorded video series, and they can still engage with those fun things. And I think there was videos where people could make their own lava lamp and their own slime, and God knows what else. But it was brilliant. And I just thought, yeah. It's so great that you've done that so quickly, and been able to almost keep your audience engaged with what the ethos of what Eureka! is all about if they, even if they couldn't come.Michelle Emerson: Yeah. I think there were a couple of really nice outcomes from that. Obviously, the audience engaged and really got something out of those activities. They're all still there. So they're accessible to anybody who wants them at any time. But it gave our front-of-house team something to do in that initial few months where we were all very, very unsure of what was happening and what was going on, how long was it going to last for? And we just basically sent a call out to our enablers saying, "Here's the challenge guys. What can you do from your living room or your kitchen table?"Michelle Emerson: And they came back with a wonderful variety of things from storytelling to little chemistry experiments to drama activities and so on. And that was what we curated into our Eureka! At Home thing.Michelle Emerson: And the other nice thing to come out of that was that we work with a number of freelancers, freelance entertainers and children's activity providers, for our main holiday periods where we layer on lots of additional events. And a handful of those are very local to us here. And obviously, their workstreams have dried up completely. And we were able to employ them to create content for us, which we shared on our platforms, obviously, which enabled them to have a little bit of an income stream as well back at the beginning. And I know they were very, very pleased to be involved with that as well. And it felt like the right partnership to forge ahead with at the time. And we got some lovely results out of it, as well as some fabulous, crazy science.Kelly Molson: They stepped up, didn't they, the enablers? [crosstalk 00:24:22]Michelle Emerson: And some amazing music and stories from Gakko, from Ian Douglas. And it was just wonderful stuff that they created in their living rooms and garages and whatever. And it was really lovely that they were able to do that for us. And we were able to support them in giving them little bits of freelance work to do.Kelly Molson: Yeah. We'll pop the link to Eureka! At Home in the show notes. Because, like Michelle said, that the content that is up there is really phenomenal, though kids are back at school. But look, there is so much good stuff in there. You will keep them amused for hours during the holidays. Trust me. So we'll put that in the show notes. This brings me to something really exciting for Eureka! So Eureka at the moment is based in Halifax, a beautiful town. And there's going to be a second Eureka!, isn't there? And this is super, super exciting. So there's going to be Eureka! Mersey. It's going to be a cutting-edge, 21st-century science and discovery centre.Kelly Molson: I'm really excited. Tell us about it. Tell us where should we start talking about it?Michelle Emerson: Well, just make that noise again. That was great.Kelly Molson: Urgh!Michelle Emerson: So yeah. So Eureka! Mersey, the second Eureka in the UK. We are aiming and on schedule to be opening in summer 2022. So this is a project that has been in development for a long time. 2014 is when we started discussing it in earnest, really. And there has been, since then, a program of, as you would imagine, the feasibility work and all those sorts of research aspects that you need to do right back in the beginning. And moving forward into fundraising capital campaigns and very in-depth process of co-creation with local children and stakeholders. So that's been ongoing for a number of years now, and has resulted to the shape of the experience as it is now, where we're at the point of contracting fabricators and exhibition designers and developers to actually deliver what the children have come up with to be the content of Eureka! Mersey. So yeah.Kelly Molson: This is what I love about the development is that this co-creation process has been so incredibly engaging. I've been watching it unfold on your Twitter account and seeing all of the projects that you've been getting the children involved with that. That must have been so much fun to be able to say, "What do you want? What do you need? And how do we make this happen?"Michelle Emerson: Yes. You don't start with a blank piece of paper necessarily. Because one of the reasons why opening Eureka in Merseyside, in Wirral, is an exciting project for Eureka!, is that everything else falls into line. So the combined authority and the [inaudible 00:27:41] city region have been incredibly supportive right from the beginning. And their regional development plans and their focus and that energy and their drive and their money is being put behind a key set of themes. All of which we are able to demonstrate that we can deliver outcomes against with opening the new science and discovery center for young people. So we know the themes and the industry in the area and the pathways to work that will be created through engagement with children at that young age that will be beneficial for the region as a whole.Michelle Emerson: And so working within those sorts of parameters, we're able to then go out to schools and youth centres and young people in the area and say, "This is going to be your space. This is going to be about you. It's going to be about your futures and what you want to achieve, and what you want to see. And the industry that's around you, and the opportunities that are around you," which for many of them were unknown, "how do we engage you? How do we get you to take your first steps?" Or maybe kids who were more engaged to take the further steps into developing that their knowledge and their experience and their passion for these things that can open up lots and lots of doors for them in the future. So the co-creation has been incredible in delivering some of those things.Michelle Emerson: It's all done with the very Eureka! expertise and hat on. Obviously, the experience will be delivered in a very Eureka! way. It's all fun and humour and surprise and excitement. But it is more so topics that children in the age range of six to 14, so older than we engage within Halifax, we'll be thinking about, will be exploring. Climate change being one of the big ones that all kids of that age are really engaged with at the moment. And rightly so. And what do they see their place in the future in that sphere being? And what can they do? And what should they be doing? And what can they encourage other people to do? And so on. So there's those sorts of things that you're trying to unravel with children who maybe have very little engagement at school. They have families with multi-generational unemployment. What can we do with and for them to improve some of their life chances?Michelle Emerson: And that's another one of the reasons why Eureka! is being located in Wirral, an area with a number of multiple deprivations in the local communities. Which is one of our strategic aims, is to reach those families. We are very lucky in Halifax in that 20% of our audience comes from very disadvantaged postcodes, and yet they still want to engage with us. We might be the only visitor attraction or museum or cultural engagement that they have in their lives, especially in their young lives. And that is something that we really want to continue to provide with the new Eureka! in Wirral, is to make sure we're reaching the people that can really benefit.Kelly Molson: Yeah. I'm assuming it will have the same ethos as Eureka! Halifax in that it will be learning through play and experiments and that thing. So it will be very hands-on centred.Michelle Emerson: It's all hands-on, I would say. The older age range in Eureka! Mersey, so the target audience, is slightly older. And therefore, the play will be slightly different. But it is that same ethos in that you won't walk into Eureka! and be confronted with a panel of text that tells you something about A, B, or C. It won't be like that. You will get a chance to explore, discover, experiment, push buttons, pull things, do some digital gameplay or coding. There's a whole variety of things that are appropriate for that age range that will be akin to how they want to learn and how they want to engage and how they want to spend a fun afternoon with their family or their friends or whoever.Kelly Molson: I guess the exact specifics are under lock and key at the moment, aren't they, Michelle? You can't give us any snippets into what's going to be?Michelle Emerson: It's not exactly under lock and key, but we will be starting to reveal some of the content from April this year onwards. And we'll be building our new websites and so on over the course of this year. Obviously, there is a website there at the moment that talks a lot about the [inaudible 00:32:36] process and a lot of our partners and funders and so on, and the involvement of local companies and organisations in getting us to the point that we're at now, which has been incredibly valuable in supporting the work that we've done. So all of that stuff sits on the website, the Eureka! Mersey website at the moment. And we'll be doing a lot of work in starting to reveal some of the exciting content.Kelly Molson: We'll put all of the links to that website in the show notes because you are definitely going to want to go and have a little look and see how the site is developed so far. And I am definitely going to be checking in after April to find out what's coming next. Because I can't wait to come and visit.Kelly Molson: Michelle, thank you. I think this is such a positive, not only for Eureka!, not only for all of you that work there but for the industry itself. To know that there are these wonderful new attractions coming and that they can do such amazing things for the local communities that they're involved with as well. So thank you for sharing all of that today. I really appreciate it.Kelly Molson: We always end the podcast by asking for a book recommendation from our guests. So I used to say something that's helped develop your career in some way. But now, I think it's just a book that you really love that you'd like to share with the visitors, with our listeners, even. So it doesn't need to be career-focused. Can be whatever you like.Michelle Emerson: Okay. So I do read a lot. I am an avid reader. And I guess I read more for pleasure than I do for work. But I would say that the book I go back to more often than others is a book called Blueback, which is written by an Australian author called Tim Winton. It's a short book. It's a good Sunday afternoon book, if you've got nothing else to do. It's less than a hundred pages. And it's probably described as a modern fable. But it's about a young boy, and it sounds a bit strange, but his relationship with a fish. And what that slightly magical relationship results in him developing a passion for the sea, and his future passion for conservation and looking after the ocean nearby where he lives in Australia. So Tim Winton has written a lot of lovely, lovely books. And that one is probably my favourite.Kelly Molson: That feels like a really fitting book for what we've just talked about. A perfect fit for engaging with something, and it becoming your passion in later life. I love that.Kelly Molson: So as ever, if you would like to win a copy of that book, if you head over to our Twitter account and you retweet this show announcement with the words, "I want Michelle's book," then you will be in with a chance of winning it.Kelly Molson: Michelle, thank you so much for coming on and sharing today. I honestly can't get the picture of Michelle's Crocs and socks out of my head. So I might ask her permission to see if we can... Oh, she's giving us a little flash. Oh, look!Michelle Emerson: No socks today.Kelly Molson: Oh, listeners. You have to head over to our YouTube channel so that you can see that, and not just hear me cackling about it. I was going to ask Michelle if she'd give me permission to share the photo that she sent me a few weeks ago. But she's done it for me. So-Michelle Emerson: That's the real deal, though. You see, that photo had socks.Kelly Molson: I might share that on our Twitter account. Michelle, thank you so much for joining us today. I really appreciate. It's been lovely to have you on.Michelle Emerson: It's been a pleasure, Kelly. Sorry, it's taken me so long to agree.Kelly Molson: Thanks for listening to Skip the Queue.

I met Jessica last month at a workshop and we just clicked! As someone who hopes to publish a book herself I am in awe of her ambitious attitude and empathy. Jessica believes that we as creators do our best work when we use our whole selves to create. This requires us to balance our scales while honoring our unique mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual gifts. This is not a journey of fixing ourselves, but a journey of identifying our greatest potentialities and sharing them through the act of creation. This is not a journey of becoming more or less, but a journey of coming back to our most essential selves. I offer a body of work that empowers creators to develop their capacity for Creative Self-Discovery. Through the process of self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-care, we can become whole creators who know how to handle our spectacularly complex operating systems.

Please join us for a timely conversation exploring insights, tools and practices to support ourselves, our families, our work and our communities during this season of confinement and constant, confusing, uncertain change. For most of us, our worlds came to a screeching pause in March and many of us remain under constraints on our movement and interactions -- turning our homes into seeming prisons at times.  In addition to this once-in-a-century pandemic, many parts of the globe are currently plagued with fires, hurricanes and other outstanding circumstances that force people into even greater lockdown in homes that may no longer feel safe. In conversation with an expert in prison rehabilitation and a Buddhist lama, we’ll explore questions such as:  How do we remain sane through all of this?  How can we remain positive and lifted up when everything around us seems to push us down?  How does this season actually serve us?  How do we regain our freedom and liberation? Jacques Verduin is the Founding Director and Minister of Transformation of Insight-Out as well as the Founder of its GRIP (Guiding Rage into Power) Program, a best-practices, comprehensive offender accountability program.  He has a 22-year history as a subject matter expert on prison rehabilitation programming, a record of successful pioneering and sustaining programs, and has cultivated a sizable network in the field. Currently Director of Insight-Out, Mr. Verduin founded the Insight Prison Project, which under his leadership produced the Victim Offender Education program. His efforts helped birth the Prison Mindfulness Initiative, the Prison Yoga Project, the Insight Garden Project, Veterans Healing Veterans, among others. All of these organizations are actively replicating. In addition to California, he is a consultant to the US State Department, and he and his staff has traveled abroad to train professionals in Guatemala, El Salvador, Bosnia and the Netherlands. Lama Tsomo is an American lama, author, and co-founder of the Namchak Foundation and Namchak Retreat Ranch.  Born Linda Pritzker, Lama Tsomo followed a path of spiritual inquiry and study that ultimately led to her ordination as one of the few American lamas in Tibetan Buddhism. Under the tutelage of Tulku Sangak Rinpoche, international holder of the Namchak lineage, Lama Tsomo has done extensive spiritual retreats in the U.S. and abroad, and is fluent in Tibetan. Today, she is dedicated to sharing the teachings of the Namchak lineage with Western students, bringing greater happiness and meaning to life through meditation practice, community and retreat. She is especially passionate about reaching young people and supporting those working for positive social change. Her teaching has inspired American and international students, who appreciate her informal, and often humorous, style. Lama Tsomo holds an M.A. in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Jungian studies. She is the author of three books: Why Is The Dalai Lama Always Smiling? A Westerner’s Introduction and Guide to Tibetan Buddhist Practice, The Lotus & The Rose, and The Dharma of Dogs. This conversation will be moderated by Mariette Fourmeaux, Founder and Executive Director of Brilliance Inside, a nonprofit with the mission of healing society’s cycle of violence by transforming prison from being strictly a container of violence to a creator of peace. 

Having introduced Agile into River Island, Nebel is in the process of doing the same at her current organisation, Roche. Not just into the HR team, where she is Director of HR & Communications, but across the entire employee population. Learn from Nebel's rich experience of succeeding with Agile in HR and L&D - with real examples - and how you can do the same. KEY TAKEAWAYS Working in an agile space is about breaking things down incrementally, delivering at a pace that suits the business, iterating, and creating effective channels of communication so as to better encourage co-creation. Checking in with your team is a founding principle of agile working, and one of the practices that encourages accountability, creativity in solutions, and the close-knit bonding of teams, no matter how remote they may be. The pace of agile can sometime be daunting for those who have not experienced it. But businesses should always be evolving, and we must never limit progress based upon unfounded preconceptions. Initial development is often so focused towards ensuring that someone can perform the breadth and depth of their new responsibilities, but making sure that we engender a feeling of excitement, creativity and comfort, is far more important in the initial phase. Agile can be introduced to a cautious environment by introducing small elements at first, and then building upon these slowly. Focus on impactful solutions that will demonstrate effectiveness. BEST MOMENTS 'There's an element of discipline in the way you work with agile' 'The biggest impact that I've observed is how it brings people together' ‘Find the advocates and build your army' ‘Unless you listen to feedback, how can you ever know what the solution needs to be?' ‘Agile brings a level of curiosity' VALUABLE RESOURC ES The Learning And Development Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-learning-development-podcast/id1466927523 Natal Dank: @nataldank Agil8 Scrum Master Training: https://www.agil8.com/training/certified-scrum-training/certified-scrummaster/ ABOUT THE GUEST Nebel is an award-winning HR leader with a track record of building Agile HR and L&D teams that deliver real business value.
