Podcasts about disrupted world

Are we slipping in our intellectual abilities? Have we lost the ability to read, reason, analyze, and more importantly pay attention?  Over the past decade we have seen a deluge of challenges – from Covid and its disruptive effect on education, to the rising use of screens and smart phones to the more recent threat from LLMs and an increasingly proficient set of AI tools that threaten to compete with and ultimately replace humans in almost every dimension. Each of these threats is nuanced and subjective, but we are starting to see patterns emerge in terms of the impact  on our attention span, and ability to think critically and absorb new information. I'm delighted to welcome Carolina Pacheco-Punceles to the podcast. She is a Behavioral Economist, AI Survival Kit Creator, Executive Function Strategist and her Linked In bio states that she is Equipping Humans with the Skills to Think Clearly, Lead Wisely & Thrive in a Disrupted World. We connected over linked In when responding to a post by Jonathan Haidt about the erosion of attention spans and the ability to pay attention, and shared experiences about how we could address this slide.  In this special two-part series we first look at some of the data and recent findings around the erosion of our attention spans and ability to reason and process complex data.Part 2 then will set out various techniques that we have found to try to address this slide. Here in part one we talk about the problem – and discuss this article from the Financial Times that triggered our discussion Have humans passed peak brain power? https://www.ft.com/content/a8016c64-63b7-458b-a371-e0e1c54a13fc  We ask if intelligence is a capacity to understand and question why performance in reasoning and problem solving tests is declining. We look at another article which reveals that the percentage of fourth graders who score below basic in reading skills on the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests is the highest it has been in 20 years. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/opinion/education-smart-thinking-reading-tariffs.html?smid=li-share Our discussion continues into the general slide in literacy in cognitive function and set up for Part 2, when we discuss some of the potential ways to address this.

For a long time, corporate performance has been managed by looking at worker time and presence.

Now she is focused on workplace transformation full-time, as the Founder and CEO of CultureRX.

Perseverance resonates profoundly in an era where technological advancements and unforeseen challenges sway education and work. The disarray instigated by these massive disruptions has magnified the necessity of adaptability and a relentless spirit, especially in navigating the unpredictable currents of the modern-day professional landscape. As per a study by McKinsey, about 87% of executives said they were experiencing skill gaps in the workforce or expected them within a few years, yet less than half had a clear sense of how to address the problem. Thus, encouraging individuals to venture beyond their comfort zones and tackle ‘Unfinished Business' has become a timely discourse.At the heart of this narrative lies a pressing question: How can one harness the essence of perseverance to navigate the tumultuous waters of today's disrupted world and turn unfinished business into a tale of triumph?Enter DisruptED, a beacon of insight hosted by Ron J. Stefanski. In the first of two episodes, Stefanski engages in a stimulating conversation with Nicola Morgan, an esteemed Author, Speaker, and TEDx Champion. The duo talks about Nicola's awe-inspiring journey of attempting to swim across the English Channel, her reflections on ‘unfinished business', and the broader implications of her learnings on education and personal development.In this first of two conversations, Stefanski and Morgan discuss:• Stepping outside one's comfort zone to embrace challenges and learn from them, as demonstrated through Nicola's audacious attempt to swim the English Channel not once but twice• Viewing setbacks not as failures but as opportunities for reflection, learning, and, eventually, triumph• The impactful narrative of delaying the urge to give up and the broader resonance of this concept in empowering individuals amidst modern-day disruptionsNicola Morgan, hailing from Northern Wales, is a revered author and speaker and a testament to the boundless potential of human perseverance. With a background in education consulting, she has dedicated her professional life to empowering students, staff, and parents. Her audacious attempt to swim the English Channel, which she shared on a TEDx stage, isn't just a personal narrative but a remarkable allegory inspiring many to face their ‘unfinished business,' learn from it, and grow, a message she now passionately shares across various platforms.

Continue the journey through perseverance and unfinished business with TEDx Champion Nicola Morgan.In a world still grappling with the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the educational sphere finds itself at a juncture of re-evaluation and innovation. The pandemic laid bare the necessity for resilience and adaptability in navigating the health crisis and ensuring the continuity and efficacy of learning amidst unprecedented disruptions. A notable pivot in educational strategies aims to foster a culture of perseverance and resilience among educators and students alike. According to a report by McKinsey, the pandemic-induced “learning loss” has affected an estimated 1.6 billion students globally, underlining the urgency of addressing this issue.How can the principles of perseverance and resilience, often hailed in individual triumphs, be integrated into the broader educational framework to mitigate the impacts of such disruptions? In this second DisruptED conversation with Writer and TEDx Champion Nicola Morgan, host Ron J. Stefanski continues to explore the intersections of personal perseverance and the collective endeavor of fostering resilience in educational environments.Stefanski and Morgan discuss the following:• The importance of creating a sense of belonging and structured routines to counter the adverse effects of pandemic-induced disruptions in the educational landscape• The translation of personal resilience and perseverance into actionable strategies in educational training and consulting, aiding in the holistic development of students and educators• The potential of integrating lived experiences of overcoming challenges into educational methodologies, offering a real-world perspective, and inspiring a culture of resilienceNicola Morgan brings a rich blend of practical experience and theoretical knowledge to the table. A seasoned educator, she transitioned into training and consulting, establishing NSM Training and Consultancy to share her insights on nurturing resilience among educators, parents, and students. Her journey from a dedicated teacher to a global trainer and her notable accomplishment of swimming the English Channel adds a unique dimension to her approach towards education and resilience. Nicola's commitment to providing practical, effective, and simplistic solutions to educators, as echoed in her company's social media testimonials, exemplifies her mission to equip the educational community with the tools necessary to navigate the multifaceted challenges of today's world.Be sure to catch the first installment of Stefanski and Morgan's conversation.

Wildfire season is starting earlier and lasting longer due to global warming across the world. What will we do to save the world on fire? How can we cure our addiction to fossil fuels which is verging on pyromania?Simon Dalby is author of Pyromania: Fire and Geopolitics in a Climate-Disrupted World and Professor Emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University. His other books are Rethinking Environmental Security, Anthropocene Geopolitics: Globalization, Security, Sustainability, and Security and Environmental Change. He's co-editor of Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and Reframing Climate Change: Constructing Ecological Geopolitics."It's crucial because of how we design cities so we can live better together. If we are going to be sustainable: less personal car ownership, a lot more public transport, a lot more bicycles or scooters - they dramatically reduce pollution and they allow everybody to breathe easier because there's much less pollution from internal combustion engines actually in cities. All of this suggests that we need to reimagine cities as public spaces that are not dependent on the individual use of cars."https://experts.wlu.ca/simon-dalby-1www.agendapub.com/page/detail/pyromania/?k=9781788216500www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

And then we can extract ourselves hopefully from those little silos that we do our studying and thinking and learning in, and begin to think about our role as ecological beings. If we're going to think about well-being linked to planetary health, we need to get out of the silos that we traditionally thought about and think across the disciplines.

This week on What's at Stake, Penta's Bryan DeAngelis sits down with president Matt McDonald and partners Alberto Lopez Valenzuela and Christina Pearson to unpack the group's experience at last week's Fortune CEO Initiative conference in Palm Beach, FL. The group starts by discussing their favorite moments from the conference. They note how businesses have grown comfortable operating in uncertainty, and how ESG remains top-of-mind across sectors. The group also touches on the need to integrate ESG measurement into core corporate strategy as companies look for a more holistic way to measure their impact. Matt also recaps the roundtable discussion at the conference, which explored how businesses should understand their stakeholder landscape on a deeper level  to more effectively respond to demands, both during crises and on an ongoing basis. Bryan, Christina, and Alberto expand on how understanding the needs of investors, policymakers, employees, and consumers allows businesses to maintain a values-based, nuanced approach to communications across their company.Learn more about the Fortune CEO Initiative here.
