Podcasts about De Waal

Steven de Waal schoof dit keer aan bij Ron Lemmens in Trending. Ondernemen anno nu voelt soms als laveren op een woelige zee. Handelsoorlogen, wisselende regelgeving, importheffingen vanuit de VS, de stikstofcrisis, energienetcongestie in eigen land en de continu veranderende richtlijnen vanuit de EU over maatschappelijk verantwoord en groen ondernemen – de uitdagingen voor ondernemers zijn talrijk. Dan hebben we het nog niet eens gehad over de invloed van het huidige kabinetsbeleid. Hoe houd je als ondernemer koers in deze turbulente tijden, waarin de realiteit morgen weer compleet anders kan zijn? Zowel nationaal als internationaal dienen ondernemers alert te zijn en zich continu aan te passen. In deze aflevering van Trending ontving Ron Lemmens in de studio Steven de Waal, een ervaren ondernemer, onafhankelijk strateeg en publicist met een scherp oog voor de publieke sector. Hij is oprichter en voorzitter van de Public SPACE Foundation, een denktank dat zich richt op het promoten van maatschappelijk ondernemen en actief burgerschap. Met zijn expertise in lezingen, publicaties en het leiden van debatten, is hij een sleutelfiguur in discussies over de moderne rol van het maatschappelijk middenveld. Interessant detail: De Waal staat aan de wieg van het concept 'maatschappelijk ondernemen'. Daarnaast bekleedt hij diverse voorzitterschappen van raden van toezicht. In dit gesprek doken ze dieper in de vraag hoe ondernemers staande kunnen blijven in deze onzekere tijden. Wat zijn de strategieën om flexibel te reageren op snelle veranderingen? Hoe kunnen ondernemers maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen in een context van tegenstrijdige signalen en eisen én welke rol speelt het maatschappelijk middenveld in het ondersteunen van ondernemers in deze uitdagende omgeving? Trending is elke derde donderdag tussen 17:00 en 18:00 uur te horen op New Business Radio. Welke economische ontwikkelingen zijn er? Hoe gaan de politiek en diverse sectoren ermee om? Vanuit meerdere invalshoeken belichten we elke maand een andere ontwikkeling.

Decades of LGBTQ+ organizing in Australia are captured in the memoir of Peter De Waal, and the spirit of his book launching at the site of the early movement's first meetings is captured by Sydney correspondent Barry McKay. And in NewsWrap: the United Kingdom's Supreme Court rejects the Scottish government's argument that transgender women should have full access to women's services, gender dysphoria is no longer covered by U.S. laws banning discrimination against people with disabilities, a transgender Green Party candidate for the Norwegian parliament believes her country should offer asylum to trans people from the U.S., the parliament dominated by Hungary's authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán bans LGBTQ Pride events, the authoritarian-leaning administration of would-be U.S. President Donald Trump defunds the museum devoted to Black queer rights activist Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Marcos Najera and Lucia Chappelle (produced by Brian DeShazor). All this on the April 21, 2025 edition of This Way Out!

Bestselling author Kit de Waal has built a career writing stories that capture the reality of life on the margins, but her own story is just as compelling. Growing up in 1970s Birmingham with an Irish Catholic-turned-Jehovah's Witness mother and a Caribbean father, Kit learned early on that survival meant adaptation. Kit's mother's dire warnings of an impending apocalypse pushed her into rebellion, leading to a breakdown that ultimately brought her home and set her on a new path in social care, advocating for children in the care system before becoming a bestselling author.Here is Kit's Crisis Compass - her points of navigation for when trouble comes.Listen to Kit's full episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/crisis-what-crisis/id1517015748?i=1000701649537Pre-order Kit's new book The Best Of Everything: https://linktr.ee/TheBestofEverythingKitdeWaalLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kit-de-waal-ba953455/X: @KitDeWaalWebsite: https://www.kitdewaal.com/contactHost: Andy Coulson CWC team: Jane Sankey, Hana Walker-Brown, Bill GriffinWith special thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at Global For all PR and guest approaches please contact – podcast@coulsonpartners.com

Cet épisode est tiré de ma newsletter (à laquelle vous pouvez vous abonner ici bien sur et est disponible intégralement en vidéo sur la chaine Youtube :)La semaine dernière, je discutais avec un ami de longue date, père de deux garçons adolescents. La voix incertaine, il m'a confié : "Je ne sais plus quoi leur dire. Comment être un homme aujourd'hui ? Quels conseils leur donner quand moi-même je n'y comprends plus rien ?" Son désarroi m'a profondément touché, car il résonne avec une question que je me pose depuis l'adolescence : qu'est-ce qu'être un homme dans notre société ?Est-il encore possible d'incarner une masculinité qui ne soit ni toxique ni effacée ? Comment naviguer entre les attentes contradictoires qui bombardent les hommes quotidiennement ? Et surtout, pourquoi est-il devenu si difficile de simplement être soi-même ? Est-ce que cela signifie même quelque chose ?La confusion règne partout. La bouleversante série "Adolescence" sur Netflix nous plonge dans la réalité de jeunes garçons perdus, tiraillés entre les modèles masculinistes qui prolifèrent sur les réseaux sociaux et une société qui condamne - à juste titre - les comportements toxiques. Pendant ce temps, l'affaire Gérard Depardieu révèle nos incohérences collectives : comment comprendre qu'un comportement de prédateur puisse encore être défendu au nom du "génie artistique", y compris par des figures féminines respectées ? De manière anecdotique, j'écris cette newsletter alors que simultanément j'observe de jeunes adolescents simuler une bagarre et jouer à la loi du plus fort.Dans ma propre histoire, des femmes m'ont parfois qualifié de "trop sensible" ou "tellement fragile" pour avoir simplement exprimé mes ressentis avec vivacité. Ces expériences m'ont amené à m'interroger profondément : notre société sait-elle ce qu'elle attend des hommes ? Savons-nous, en tant qu'hommes, ce que nous voulons être ?Cette confusion n'est pas seulement théorique - elle se manifeste dans nos comportements quotidiens, dans nos relations, dans notre façon d'élever nos enfants. Elle a des conséquences réelles sur la santé mentale des hommes, sur les dynamiques de couple, sur l'éducation des garçons qui tentent désespérément de trouver des repères dans ce brouillard identitaire. Les modèles masculins manquent cruellement : les pères sont souvent absents, les films & séries sont caricaturaux et les algorithmes des réseaux sociaux avantagent les avis extrêmes.J'observe des hommes qui, comme des caméléons, changent de personnalité selon qu'ils cherchent à séduire, à impressionner leurs pairs masculins, ou à répondre aux attentes contradictoires de la société.La masculinité est devenue un champ de mines - un pas trop appuyé vers la virilité et vous êtes un dinosaure toxique; un pas trop léger et vous êtes invisible, insignifiant. Ce numéro d'équilibriste épuise des générations entières d'hommes qui ne savent plus qui ils sont censés être.Aujourd'hui, je plonge sans retenue dans cette question explosive : qu'est-ce qu'être un homme au XXIe siècle, quand personne – ni les hommes, ni les femmes, ni la société – ne semble capable de formuler une réponse cohérente ?Mon histoire d'homme un peu perduParadoxalement, pour un homme, parler de masculinité reste compliqué. On craint de dire une bêtise, de ne pas être légitime. J'avais d'ailleurs expliqué à Angelo Foley cette « peur d'être un homme » sur son podcast il y a quelques années. Mais aujourd'hui, je me sens plus légitime que jamais pour mettre les deux pieds dans le plat.Mon histoire personnelle offre peut-être quelques clés de compréhension. Enfant, j'avais un père pompier de Paris, musclé et "viril" – une sorte de super-héros. Mais un super-héros chroniquement absent, qui ne prenait pas de temps pour ses enfants. Commercial avec le Maghreb, il était souvent en voyage et par ailleurs, il ne nous a pas beaucoup accompagné, pas appris à faire du vélo, pas joué avec nous. Il était un excellent bricoleur mais chaque fois qu'on essayait de l'aider et d'être curieux, il nous rejetait en nous disant que nous étions des incapables…Ce n'était pas nécessairement méchant mais juste réaliste, on lui faisait perdre du temps, très basique.Si je partage cela, c'est parce que je ne crois pas être le seul homme à avoir eu un père absent et donc un manque d'amour inconscient et surtout un père aimant et gentil mais loin de la paternité idéale.Il nous a quitté il y a 9 ans et je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de parler de cela avec lui malheureusement.Il y a d'autres sujets que j'ai abordé avec lui, j'y reviendrais peut-être.En parallèle, ma mère avait arrêté de travailler pour s'occuper de mon frère et moi. J'ai passé de très nombreuses journées dans le jardin de la cité, à écouter les conversations de ma mère et ses amies pendant des années.C'est peut-être de là que vient mon appétence pour les femmes, les conversations profondes, et ma facilité à m'entendre avec elles.J'ai grandi avec une bande de garçons et adolescent, nous trainions et faisions les 400 coups et beaucoup de skateboard. Mais mon caractère s'est véritablement ancré vers 13-14 ans, quand je me suis lié d'amitié avec Émilie. Ma première meilleure amie.Nous nous écrivions, nous nous appelions jusqu'à rendre fous nos parents respectifs.Quand ils en avaient assez, j'allais dans la cabine téléphonique du quartier (ceux qui savent, savent…) pour poursuivre nos échanges. Cette relation – parfaitement platonique puisqu'elle était la petite amie de mon meilleur ami – avait une profondeur incomparable avec les discussions entre garçons. Elle a nourri en moi une sensibilité qui ne demandait qu'à éclore.Depuis lors, mes amitiés sont très majoritairement féminines. Elles représentent sans doute 90% de mon entourage proche.On qualifie la sensibilité, l'écoute, et la vulnérabilité de valeurs féminines, pourtant, elles ne sont pas des qualités genrées – elles sont simplement humaines. Marque de notre société, et de manière très curieuse, même aujourd'hui, je ressens le besoin de préciser que j'ai toujours été attiré sexuellement par les femmes. Comme si une petite voix m'imposait cette clarification, de peur que vous ne fassiez d'autres suppositions. Preuve que les préjugés ont la peau dure, même à l'intérieur de moi-même.J'ai conscience que c'est idiot mais j'ai choisi de vous partager de manière sincère ce que je ressens.En 2 mots, ma vie s'est construite sur des amitiés homme-femme authentiques. Contrairement à ceux qui doutent de leur possibilité, je trace une ligne claire dans mon esprit entre mes « amies » et mes « intérêts romantiques potentiels ». Cette sensibilité est peut-être la raison pour laquelle vous êtes majoritairement des femmes à suivre cette newsletter et mon podcast par ailleurs. La quête d'une masculinité authentiqueComme je l'ai décrit dans ma dernière newsletter, ces dernières années, j'ai travaillé sur ma «gentillesse » parfois excessive pour renforcer ce que l'on pourrait nommer ma « colonne masculine» : plus décisif, plus ancré, plus fort.Et d'ailleurs, je ne peux que constater que depuis que je vis à Lisbonne, je me suis lié d'amitié avec des hommes avec lesquels j'adore échanger. J'ai même créé un cercle d'hommes dans mon salon pour libérer une parole authentique entre nous – car, en vérité, les hommes se parlent rarement de cœur à cœur.Alors, parlons-nous franchement : c'est extrêmement compliqué d'être un homme aujourd'hui (je ne prétends pas que c'est simple d'être une femme, loin de là). En vérité, nous dansons tous ensemble une chorégraphie complexe de genre et d'identité. Mais cette réflexion se concentre spécifiquement sur la masculinité contemporaine.Je ne l'ai pas dit dans ma dernière newsletter mais ma « gentillesse » et mon côté « débonnaire» viennent partiellement d'un rejet du modèle masculin que j'observais autour de moi : mon grand-père, mes oncles, mon père….Mais ce faisant, comme pour beaucoup d'hommes, ma masculinité s'est construite en creux – par opposition plutôt que par affirmation.Mon ami Jerry Hyde que j'ai reçu sur Vlan avec sa femme Mai Hua, l'a judicieusement noté : une certaine masculinité misogyne a parfaitement compris la frustration des jeunes hommes d'aujourd'hui. L'absence de modèles masculins positifs a créé un vide facilement exploitable. On leur a fait croire que le féminisme les avait privés de leur héritage légitime, que les hommes étaient naturellement destinés à dominer, et qu'il fallait revenir aux anciennes normes.Cette rhétorique toxique, combinée au fait que dans les classes populaires, les jeunes femmes réussissent souvent mieux à l'école et trouvent des emplois mieux rémunérés, a privé de nombreux hommes de leur rôle traditionnel de « pourvoyeurs ». Résultat : de nombreux jeunes hommes adhèrent massivement à cette vision régressive.Plus inquiétant encore : certaines femmes adhèrent aussi à cette vision. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'au fond, elles non plus ne veulent pas d'un homme perçu comme faible, insipide, fade, glissant, trop conciliant ou constamment dans l'excuse.Il faut admettre que ce n'est pas très sexy. La misogynie est culturelle et ne dépend pas du genre – les femmes absorbent ces mêmes messages toxiques. Encore aujourd'hui, beaucoup de femmes se construisent aussi, entre autres, avec l'idée que l'homme doit pouvoir subvenir seul au besoin d'un foyer et doit « protéger », créant par là même une dépendance financière et donc une relation de pouvoir à l'avantage des hommes.Nous sommes loin de cette masculinité en creux.Et en comparaison, l'image de l'homme misogyne paraît claire et séduisante pour certaines : puissant, identifiable, riche, entouré de belles femmes, propriétaire de belles voitures etc…Pour des jeunes désorientés, anxieux, perdus, ou pour des personnes plus âgées élevées dans des visions dépassées, cette masculinité toxique devient malheureusement une option attractive. Nature ou culture : au-delà des clichésPour démêler ces questions complexes, j'ai voulu remonter à la source – au moment où la culture pesait moins lourd sur nos comportements. La préhistoire humaine s'étale sur 2,5 millions d'années et représente 99,8% de notre histoire, elle est donc constituée de multiples phases.Mais pour faire court, quand on interroge les experts, il leur est impossible de définir clairement des rôles genrés à cette époque. Les femmes chassaient vraisemblablement autant que les hommes. Et nos ancêtres n'avaient pas établi le rôle de l'homme dans la reproduction, ce qui empêchait tout système patriarcal structuré puisque l'homme n'avait, pour eux, aucun rôle dans la procréation.La sédentarité des femmes est en réalité apparue avec la fin du nomadisme et l'invention de l'agriculture, il y a seulement 10-15 000 ans. Quant à l'imagerie de la femme préhistorique restant dans la grotte et tirée par les cheveux par un homme des cavernes – elle a été créée au 19ème siècle et ne représente aucunement une réalité historique. Il s'agit simplement d'une projection d'une époque sur une autre.Pour aller plus loin, j'ai eu l'immense plaisir de recevoir l'un des primatologues les plus respectés au monde, Frans de Waal. Car au final, tout autant que nous sommes plus proches des humains préhistoriques qu'on aimerait le croire, nous sommes également tous des primates, très proches des grands singes. Ses conclusions sont éclairantes : la distinction entre sexe biologique et identité de genre est cruciale. Si une identité biologique existe, l'identité de genre est largement formée par l'imitation et l'apprentissage social. Les enfants observent et reproduisent les comportements associés à leur genre, ce qui active les centres de récompense du cerveau.Les différences physiologiques sont indéniables – cycles menstruels, gestation, allaitement sont exclusivement féminins. La conséquence principale est que les mâles ont tendance à considérer leur corps comme moins important. Mais la différence semble s'arrêter là.Contrairement aux idées reçues, « l'instinct maternel » tel qu'il est souvent conçu n'existe pas vraiment. Il y a une attirance des femelles vers les bébés, mais les compétences maternelles s'apprennent par l'observation. Quand une mère meurt, ce n'est pas une autre femelle qui prend le relai avec les bébés mais un mâle, qui développe alors dans son cerveau les même éléments qu'une femelle et qui ont trait au soin.A la naissance, les males sont un peu plus turbulents et plus actifs que les femelles mais encore une fois une partie de ce comportement est aussi généré par du mimétisme social pour répondre aux exigences du centre de récompenses de notre cerveau. De même, l'idée qu'un mâle cherche nécessairement de nombreux partenaires tandis qu'une femelle serait sélective est fausse. De Waal explique que les femelles primates sont également entreprenantes sexuellement et recherchent souvent de multiples partenaires.L'idée de la protection des femelles par les mâles est également une construction sociale. Bien que les mâles soient généralement plus grands chez de nombreuses espèces, cette différence est souvent liée à la compétition entre mâles plutôt qu'à la préférence des femelles. D'ailleurs, De Waal note que le dimorphisme sexuel (différence de taille) est relativement faible chez les humains, les chimpanzés et les bonobos comparativement à d'autres mammifères.Enfin, concernant les émotions, De Waal suggère que si leur intensité peut être similaire entre mâles et femelles, leur expression est fortement influencée par des règles culturelles. Les mâles, dans un contexte de compétition, cachent souvent leur vulnérabilité – non par nature, mais par construction sociale.Nous cherchons donc à opposer une réalité physiologique (les hommes et les femmes sont bien plus semblables qu'on veut nous le faire croire) à une réalité sociale – des millénaires de patriarcat. Mais dans le même temps, il est illusoire de penser que l'on puisse s'abstraire totalement de son contexte social.Les 3 grandes religions ont joué également un rôle dans la structuration du patriarcat évidemment mais je ne vais pas descendre dans l'histoire « récente » ici.Je ne crois pas aux hommes parfaitement déconstruits mais très souvent les femmes ne le sont pas plus.Au mieux, je crois que l'on peut s'éduquer sur le sujet et que nous pouvons observer le patriarcat dans nos pensées et développer suffisamment de conscience de soi pour prendre du recul.Et parfois, ça sort j'avoue, je dis une bêtise, ça m'échappe et je m'excuse.Une preuve simple si les expressions « ne fait pas ta meuf » ou « soit un mec » résonnent ou si quand vous pensez à un « care giver » vous pensez automatiquement à une femme ne serait-ce que 1 seconde dans votre cerveau, vous savez exactement ce à quoi je fais référence. Vers une masculinité réinventéeFace au retour en force d'une masculinité toxique (coucou Trump, Vance, Tate, Zuck, Bezos ou Musk…) et à la dérive de certains espaces (comme les communautés de musculation sur les réseaux sociaux qui glissent vers le masculinisme), il est essentiel de proposer une alternative.Comme me le faisait justement remarquer mon amie Mai Hua, également co-autrice avec Jerry du documentaire « make me a man » , en m'envoyant un réel Instagram, les hommes « gentils » utilisent parfois cette masculinité toxique à leur avantage : « je vais te défendre contre ces hommes ». Mais cette masculinité en creux n'est pas une solution viable, car elle suppose le masculinisme pour exister. Ces hommes restent, d'une certaine manière, passifs et complices.D'ailleurs, ils montent rarement au créneau quand ils en ont l'occasion.Il faut reconnaître qu'une société qui vénère la compétition, la domination et l'accumulation (de biens, de pouvoir, de notoriété) est fondamentalement patriarcale. Ensuite, il est crucial de comprendre qu'il existe des masculinités et des féminités plurielles – il n'y a pas une seule "bonne manière" d'être au monde. Personne n'a besoin de s'enfermer dans un carré minuscule défini par des stéréotypes étroits.La série « Adolescence » sur Netflix montre bien comment les hommes souffrent aussi du patriarcat. Aucune place n'est laissée à la vulnérabilité, considérée comme une faiblesse, ce qui entraîne une atrophie de la capacité à exprimer ses émotions. J'ai même observé que certains hommes n'arrivent pas à décrire ce qu'ils ressentent intérieurement – leur vocabulaire émotionnel se limitant souvent à la joie, la frustration et la colère.Ma conclusion personnelle est qu'on peut développer une masculinité posée et ancrée, qui ne soit ni toxique ni effacée. Cette masculinité équilibrée implique une intelligence émotionnelle développée, l'assurance de ses envies et points de vue, une évolution constante en tant qu'être humain (notamment en matière de sexualité, où l'homme croit devoir « savoir » et « dominer », alors que personne ne sait vraiment puisque seul le porno nous « éduque »), la capacité à reconnaître ses torts et à poser des limites claires.Comme le résume parfaitement Jerry : il s'agit simplement d'être un adulte. Cela implique de dialoguer avec d'autres hommes qui ont développé cette maturité émotionnelle (qui n'est malheureusement pas une question d'âge).Finalement, comme pour tout être humain, la tendresse est au fondement d'une masculinité saine. Être un homme suppose d'intégrer toutes les parties de soi – force et vulnérabilité, courage et sensibilité, indépendance et connexion.Pour revenir à la question initiale, le rôle du père n'est pas de faire de son fils un homme mais un être humain entier.D'ailleurs, la théoricienne féministe bell hooks nous offre ici une boussole précieuse.Dans son œuvre "La volonté de changer: Hommes, Masculinité, et Amour", elle soutient que le patriarcat blesse profondément les hommes en les privant de leur pleine humanité émotionnelle. Selon elle, les hommes souffrent d'une "blessure de l'âme" en étant conditionnés à réprimer leurs émotions et à éviter la vulnérabilité.Si je devais traduire ses théories en conseils pratiques pour mes semblables masculins, voici ce que je retiendrais :1. Reconnaître que notre capacité à aimer a été diminuée par le patriarcat - non pas pour nous victimiser, mais pour comprendre ce qui nous empêche d'être pleinement présents dans nos relations.2. Développer une conscience critique de la manière dont les médias et la culture façonnent nos idées de la masculinité, et oser questionner ces messages.3. Pratiquer activement la vulnérabilité - non comme une faiblesse, mais comme la plus grande force qui soit. Comme l'écrit hooks, "l'amour ne peut pas fleurir dans une culture de domination".4. Créer des espaces entre hommes où l'on peut partager ouvertement ses peurs, ses doutes et ses émotions sans jugement.5. Embrasser ce que hooks appelle une "éthique de l'amour" qui valorise la connexion, le soin des autres et la croissance personnelle au-delà des performances de virilité.Cette masculinité réinventée n'est pas un retour en arrière vers des archétypes dépassés, ni une négation de ce qui fait la spécificité masculine. C'est une proposition d'avenir, un équilibre dynamique qui répond aux besoins profonds des hommes tout en s'inscrivant dans une société qui aspire à l'égalité.Le temps est venu de dessiner ensemble ce que pourrait être cette masculinité du XXIe siècle – ni lavette, ni macho, mais pleinement humaine.

On May 14, the Georgian parliament passed a controversial foreign agent bill titled “Transparency of Foreign Influence,” which has led to mass protests across the country. Although President Salome Zourabichvili's vetoed the bill, Georgia Dream, the majority party, overturned the veto on May 28, ensuring the enactment of this legislation.Lawfare Associate Editor for Communications Anna Hickey sat down with Senior Fellow at Carnegie Europe Thomas de Waal to discuss what exactly was in the bill, why it was so controversial, how the U.S. and European Union have reacted, and why Georgia Dream decided to pass it now.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

It wasn't that long ago that scientists didn't think animals could rival humans in terms of intelligence, emotions, or empathy. But the groundbreaking work of Dr. Frans de Waal helped change all of that. De Waal spent his life studying the lives of animals — especially our closest cousins, chimpanzees and bonobos.The primatologist died last week at the age of 75, and we wanted to remember him by sharing one of our favorite conversations with him on the show. It's from 2019, when he published his book Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us About Ourselves.In it, he tells the story of a female chimp who didn't produce enough milk to feed her young. When de Waal taught her to feed her baby with a bottle instead, she repaid him with what most of us would recognize as gratitude: holding both of his hands, and whimpering sadly if he tried to leave.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Primatologist Frans de Waal inadvertently popularized the term ‘alpha male.' Now, he's debunking common stereotypes to explain what an ‘alpha male' really is – empathetic and protective. All social animals establish hierarchies, but being an “alpha male” is not merely about strength or intimidation, according to primatologist Frans de Waal. An alpha male can often be a figure admired for empathy and protectiveness. De Waal criticizes the misconception of the term as synonymous with a bully. He further explores the concept of gender, arguing its flexibility and highlighting the existence of significant individual variability in behavior among primates. De Waal emphasizes empathy as a key factor in social cohesion, suggesting it might hint at morality among primates. Despite our advancements, he believes humans are fundamentally similar to primates emotionally and socially.

The episode was recorded on 28 November 2023 in cooperation with Ponto Azerbaijan took full control over the Nagorno-Karabakh region this September, choosing to restore its territorial integrity by force and thus ignoring the previous years of negotiations with Armenia. As a result, hardly any ethnic Armenians remain in the region, with the vast majority having fled to Armenia for fear of ethnic cleansing after months of total blockade by Azerbaijan. Armenia fears military incursion by Azerbaijan within its territory – particularly in its Syunik Province – despite Baku's claims that it has no interest in doing so. What are the chances that a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan will be signed? What would its value (and contents) be, considering the persistent lack of trust between the parties? Who could provide security guarantees to Armenia? What will happen to the border demarcation process and the dispute over the transport connection between Azerbaijan and its exclave Nakhichevan? Is the conflict likely to escalate again? In this episode we are talking about the current fast-changing developments around this conflict as well as discuss its roots and decades-long history.

And yet, children and young adults find it hard to be heard in any of the debates on the major issues the world currently faces; these issues we are expecting them to handle in the near future. Too often we all belittle the views of those under 18. Anyone who has forthright opinions is deemed to be parroting a mentor's opinions rather than their own.

And each generation is less encumbered with the traditions of the past and more open to change. It is from such young people that the solutions to the coming crises will emerge, including the impending economic crisis.

In this episode of the Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata is joined by Eksteen De Waal; an international speaker, author and leadership consultant. He is a Fellow of PSA UK and President of PSA Netherlands. Eksteen describes himself as a team architect, explaining that he views teams as structures that require attention and maintenance, much like a building. He illustrates how his work entails assessing existing teams, designing new teams from scratch (such as during mergers and acquisitions), or renovating teams to address conflicts and relationship issues. Eksteen shares insights from his 30 years of experience in analysing team dynamics, fostering inclusivity, and resolving conflicts. Eksteen primarily works with leadership teams, particularly in start-ups and scale-ups, to shape organisational culture. He highlights the significance of the founders' relationship systems, which often shape the culture of the organisation. Eksteen shares that certain behavioural patterns and coping mechanisms may be developed, both positive and negative, which can in turn affect the team dynamic. Andy and Eksteen discuss belief in personality types. Eksteen thinks that reducing individuals to acronyms or colours overlooks the complexity of who they are. Instead, he believes in using assessments as a way to initiate conversations and gain insights into how people engage and interact with each other. His assessments focus on behaviour, relationships, cognitive empathy, and motivation, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of team members. The discussion moves to conflict management, with Eksteen advocating for learning to manage conflicts within the team's paradigm instead of avoiding them. He highlights Cognitive Empathy as a key factor in understanding individual differences. Acknowledging and utilising these differences can enhance team collaboration and cohesion. Andy and Eksteen also look into the importance of understanding ourselves as a way to navigate conflicts and build compassionate relationships. Eksteen shares a personal story from his childhood that shaped his curiosity about why people behave badly. He explains that his work focuses on conflict management within teams and utilising assessments that help uncover the barriers that hinder compassionate relationships. They touch on the inclusivity and discrimination experienced in the workplace. Eksteen shares his own experiences of being made to feel like an outsider due to his sexual orientation and race. He emphasises the impact that external assumptions and labels can have on individuals, particularly those from minority groups. Andy and Eksteen discuss the conflict surrounding the term "woke" and how it has become polarised in different contexts. Eksteen believes that finding alternative ways to describe ideas and perspectives can help foster connection rather than separation. The episode concludes by focusing on leading through others and the role of emotions in building trust and communication. Eksteen emphasises that listening involves not only hearing the words but also understanding the emotions at play. By creating an environment where people feel safe to express their emotions and thoughts, leaders can identify where disconnections and conflicts arise within teams and organisations. Through thought-provoking discussions, Andy and Eksteen emphasise the power of listening, empathy, and understanding in building connections and resolving conflicts. By embracing these qualities, individuals and teams can create inclusive and compassionate environments that foster trust, collaboration, and growth.

Alex de Waal discusses the war inside Sudan and the impact of internal and external forces on the continued bloodshed.

Talking points: gender, gender equality, alpha males, alpha females, violence, culture, psychology I've been following Frans' work for a while, and have admired how dedicated he is to his work and to uncovering the complexity of primates. This was such an enjoyable and fascinating conversation! This episode is a compelling look at just how complex and nuanced something like gender can be, from one of THE world's top primatologists. With more and more pressure to outsource your opinions, your arguments, and your beliefs to the fastest talking pundit, it's more important than ever to take a step back, breathe, and check the science. Dr. Frans B. M. de Waal is a Dutch/American biologist and primatologist known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics (1982) compared the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians. Ever since, de Waal has drawn parallels between primate and human behavior, from peacemaking and morality to culture. His scientific work has been published in hundreds of technical articles in journals such as Science, Nature, Scientific American, and outlets specialized in animal behavior. His popular books — translated into twenty languages — have made him one of the world's most visible primatologists. His latest books are The Age of Empathy (2009), and The Bonobo and the Atheist (2013). Two recent edited volumes are The Primate Mind (2012) and Evolved Morality (2014). De Waal is C. H. Candler Professor in the Psychology Department of Emory University and Director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, in Atlanta, Georgia. Since 2013, he is a Distinguished Professor (Universiteitshoogleraar) at Utrecht University. He has been elected to the (US) National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. In 2007, he was selected by Time as one of The Worlds' 100 Most Influential People Today, and in 2011 by Discover as among 47 (all time) Great Minds of Science. Being editor-in-chief of the journal Behaviour, de Waal has stepped in the footsteps of Niko Tinbergen, one of the founders of ethology. His latest research concerns empathy and cooperation, inequity aversion and social cognition in chimpanzees, bonobos, and other species. He and his students have pioneered studies on how behavior is culturally transmitted in the primates, whether elephants recognize themselves in mirrors, how primates react to unequal reward divisions, how well primates spontaneously cooperate, and whether bonobo orphans are as emotionally affected by their trauma as human orphans.

Sam and Emma host Alex de Waal, Executive Director of The World Peace Foundation and Professor at Tufts University, to discuss the ongoing civil conflict in Ethiopia and how it is affecting the Tigrayan people. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the US funding bill, GOP killing cannabis reform, the final DOJ criminal referrals coming out of the 1/6 committee, the USPS' shift towards electric, and more on George Santos' resume, before diving deeper into the January 6th committee, and the US' long history of refusing to hold powerful white men to account. Alex de Waal then calls in as he gets right into walking through the long history of war in Ethiopia, beginning with tensions between the authoritarian leadership of Ethiopia (supported by the West) and the totalitarian regime of Eritrea, and the decades of war that came from it, culminating with the election of Abiy Ahmed as Prime Minister of Ethiopia, a shift away from the Tigrayan party leadership of the last few decades, who pushed for a security pact with Isaias Afwerki's Eritrea. Parsing through this shift, Alex, Sam, and Emma tackle the progression of regional supremacy from the era of Haile Selassie's Amhara leadership, through the Tigrayan decades, and into the recent turn against Tigray, as Ahmed and Afwerki used their pact to stamp out the Tigrayan political party that had dominated Ethiopian politics for the last few decades. After tackling the nature of this conflict as a battle for greater global/continental supremacy, de Waal walks through the differing perspectives on Tigray between Ahmed (who is largely taking a political opportunity) and Afwerki (who is seen to hold genocidal intentions), and how this resulted – despite strong defense from Tigrayan forces at first – in an attempt to starve out the Tigrayan people. After running through the massive devastation that came out of this genocidal endeavor between Ethiopia and Eritrea, Alex, Sam, and Emma explore how they got the rest of the African Union, and the world writ large, to look the other way, before wrapping up by tackling the recent treaties signed that put a stop to hostilities in Tigray, and why conflict in the country is not coming to a close despite them. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through the various holes in Congressman-Elect George Santos's resume, and expand the conversation on the US' refusal to hold their political leaders accountable. They also tackle the simmering beef between Lauren Boebert and Majorie Taylor Greene, dive into Greg Gutfeld having fun with the concept of child abuse, and discuss the failure of local news outlets to cover George Santos' lies, plus, your calls and IMs!

Earlier this month, officials from the government of Ethiopia and representatives from the Tigray People's Liberation Front agreed to halt the two-year conflict that has been rife with accusations of ethnic cleansing, sexual violence, and famine as a weapon of war. To discuss the current state of the conflict and the prospect of peace, Lawfare managing editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation and a research professor at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. A longtime expert on the Horn of Africa, de Waal co-edited the book, “Accountability for Mass Starvation: Testing the Limits of the Law,” which was published in August. They discussed the terms of the recent truce agreements, the irony of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's Nobel Peace Prize, and the options for accountability for forced starvation and other crimes committed by both sides.

Ben de Waal is the VP of Engineering for Swan Bitcoin. In this interview, we discuss living on bitcoin, what it means to be a libertarian socialist, the issues with capitalism and why Bitcoin should be a home for those on the left and the right. - - - - The last year has been marked by a growing interest in Bitcoin from progressives. A number of high-profile liberal names have emerged from within the community extolling the utility of Bitcoin. But, this is not a new phenomenon: the community has always been a home for the full spectrum of views. Further, there are important reasons why Bitcoin appeals to those on both the left and the right. Bitcoin has garnered a strong libertarian following. This was something Satoshi envisioned: in 2008 he stated in a post “It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly.” This was successful; there are many who have been attracted to the Bitcoin community for its potential to provide an alternative to state-controlled currency, and thereby limit the size of government. This alignment with the right has acted as a barrier to some on the left. But not all. The original cypherpunks philosophy was predicated on anarchist ideals, to work outside of government controls. This attitude is analogous to those on the left who feel disenfranchised by the current global capitalist hegemony. Bitcoin too offers those on the left a chance to opt-out of what they perceive to be a broken system. Increasing numbers are waking up to this opportunity. The issue is obviously that the left and the right have been at loggerheads for centuries. Over this time debate has evolved into grandstanding. Misconceptions have been allowed to fester on both sides. This has been supercharged by social media where the general aim now is to marginalise an opposing opinion rather than seek to analyse and potentially assimilate different ideas. If Bitcoin really is freedom money, then it needs to be a home to people of all opinions. The issue is that our society has become polarised; a winner takes all attitude has metastasized. We need to reaffirm the basis of a strong democratic system: a pluralistic society that tolerates and supports multiple centres of power. Where ideas are debated, solutions are found, and progress is made. We need the same philosophical approach as the United States' founding fathers.

“Left libertarianism, libertarian socialism, is the idea that you want to maximise freedom for people in general so maximising of liberty, that's the libertarian part of it. And the socialist part of it is explaining that the best way to do that is with traditionally socialist structures, rather than more capitalist structures.”— Ben de WaalBen de Waal is the VP of Engineering for Swan Bitcoin.
