With over 15 years at HSBC and a rich background that spans economics, marketing, and international roles, Donata brings a unique perspective on navigating brand leadership through organizational transformation.They talk about her journey from a PhD in economics to building global brand campaigns, why airport ads first drew her to HSBC, and how brand work thrives in times of change. Donata also reflects on the mentors and thought leaders who shaped her path and shares how a "squiggly career" became a source of strength rather than doubt.Furthermore they dive into real-world examples of how humor, authenticity, and empathy drive connection.Donata also reflects on brand envy and admiration—from the consistent values-driven work of Dove to the multi-sensory genius of MasterCard. The conversation ends up with a powerful look into the future of marketing: creator culture, digital fatigue, and the rising need for brands to offer not just innovation, but reassurance and optimism in an overstimulated world.Tune in for insights on challenger mindsets, brand storytelling in uncertain times, and the value of embracing nonlinear growth.

Giornalista specializzata nel divulgare la narrazione che ogni numero o statistica nasconde, Donata Columbro applica la sua passione per il dato anche alla gestione finanziaria della sua vita.È cresciuta a Torino, in una famiglia che le ha trasmesso sia la disciplina nella gestione delle finanze sia la libertà di poter scegliere il percorso che le assomigliasse di più. Fin da ragazza sapeva che scrivere, la sua passione, difficilmente le avrebbe garantito un reddito stabile. Così ha diversificato le sue attività.Dopo un'esperienza imprenditoriale, Donata sceglie la strada della libera professione, affiancando al giornalismo attività di insegnamento e divulgazione. «Ho una tabella Excel: “Previsioni fatturato Donata”, dove segno le entrate sicure e le proiezioni future, proprio come se fossi un'azienda». Per lei, i fogli Excel non sono solo strumenti di calcolo, ma di consapevolezza: analizzando i numeri, può verificare la sostenibilità del suo lavoro e riorientare le sue scelte in base ai desideri, come dare più spazio alla scrittura rispetto all'insegnamento. Uno sguardo razionale che però non esclude la parte emotiva: «Si può sempre lavorare di più, ma a che prezzo?».L'analisi dei dati guida anche le sue decisioni familiari: dalla scelta della casa alle vacanze, ogni spesa viene valutata in base a parametri oggettivi. «Essendo due partite Iva, io e mio marito dobbiamo sempre tenere in considerazione i numeri nella nostra gestione finanziaria. A volte sono io a dirgli: “Guarda che questa cosa ce la possiamo permettere”. Essere un'analista dei dati è un superpotere», dice. E nel gioco di equilibri tra lavoro e famiglia, emerge anche una verità che Donata racconta senza esitazioni. «Chi guadagna di più tra me e mio marito? Io». Ma aggiunge subito un'osservazione più ampia: «Anche quando le donne guadagnano di più o ricoprono ruoli manageriali, sono spesso quelle che portano il carico mentale maggiore». Le dinamiche quotidiane lo confermano. «Le insegnanti, le tate… scrivono a me, anche se sono lontana. È un fatto culturale: la coppia può anche funzionare, ma è la cultura intorno che deve cambiare per sostenerla davvero».

AI and the process of thinking with Donata Schoeller. The Living Process with Greg Madison. Episode 32. This, 5th conversation with Donata, tackles the huge topic of AI - artificial intelligence, something that has now exploded into almost every area of human life. In our conversation, Donata stresses the importance of the process of thinking not just the outcome of thinking. Below are some points that feel most important and a link at the bottom to a document Donata offers as a summary. We both used chatGPT to help generate the points and the document and then refined what was produced so that it resonated with what we wanted to say, an instance of the use of AI that Donata is advocating! * AI discussions often compare it to human intelligence, but we need to improve our understanding of human thinking to use AI for our benefit.* Education should focus on understanding the process of thinking, not just output.* Teachers need to create assignments that imply real engagement and can't be easily done by AI, encouraging students to think. But how?* Thinking is often seen as vague and hard, making AI a handy tool to avoid it.* Eugene Gendlin's methods show a grounded, embodied way of thinking that connects with real experiences.* Hannah Arendt's political thinking stresses the need to use real experiences for clarity, encouraging engagement with life's complexities, including emotions.* Developing inclusive thinking needs courage and openness, with Gendlin's methods helping with this.* Joint attention and embodied resonance are key for cognitive growth, making thinking more inclusive, joyful, and trustworthy.* Embodied thinkers are connected to the earth and other living processes, a concept educators should promote.Episode 32.

Wüllenkemper, Cornelius www.deutschlandfunk.de, Büchermarkt

Le tout premier Festival des chants s'est déroulé il y a 100 ans en Lituanie et depuis cette tradition de réunir des milliers de choristes sur une scène ne s'est pas perdue. Ces célébrations des chants et danses baltes sont même inscrites depuis 2008 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Depuis samedi 29 juin 2024 et durant une semaine, de nombreux concerts et représentations auront lieu dans toute la ville, jusqu'au concert final, où 12 000 choristes seront sur scène. De notre correspondante à Vilnius, Dans un jardin à l'extérieur de Vilnius, les choristes de l'ensemble Virvyte se sont réunis pour la toute dernière répétition avant le début des festivités. Donata attend avec impatience son concert mardi 2 juillet : « Je me souviens des fêtes précédentes, et les répétitions étaient longues, épuisantes, il pleuvait, il faisait très chaud, et nous étions avec des grands costumes, raconte-t-elle en français. Mais tout le monde était satisfait parce que les milliers de participants chantent et dansent à l'unisson, c'est un bon sentiment. »Le nombre de participants peut donner le tournis. En face des 12 000 choristes et 9 000 danseurs, les spectateurs seront encore plus nombreux. La tradition de ces festivals de chant est arrivée de Suisse et d'Allemagne à la fin du XIXème siècle, au moment du renouveau national.Un sentiment d'union nationale né après la guerre La Lituanie est la dernière des trois pays baltes à organiser son tout premier festival en 2024. Comme le remarque Rasa Gelgotiene, chef de chœur renommée, le plaisir de chanter est aussi lié à l'affirmation de son identité : « Les Lituaniens étaient très heureux d'obtenir leur indépendance après la Première Guerre mondiale. Ce mouvement national de chanter nos chansons est né. Pendant la période soviétique, chanter était une forme de résistance. Nous chantions des chants de notre patrimoine en lituanien, réunis tous ensemble et avec le sentiment d'être lituaniens. »À lire aussiSimonas Kairys, ministre lituanien de la Culture: «Il ne faut pas avoir peur des Russes»Plus de 30 ans après le retour à l'indépendance de la Lituanie, le contexte géopolitique s'invite à nouveau dans les célébrations. C'est ce que remarque le directeur du festival, Saulius Liausa : « La guerre qui se déroule en ce moment à côté de nous est aussi une guerre culturelle. On résiste pour défendre la langue, les coutumes, l'identité et cela renforce encore plus ici notre sentiment d'unité. »Plusieurs milliers de personnes attendues Durant ce festival, les participants sont surtout là pour se faire plaisir. Egle chantera lors de la journée dédiée au folklore : « J'aime beaucoup ce moment, car tout le monde est sur son 31, tout le monde sort son costume traditionnel pour l'occasion ! »Le 6 juillet prochain, ils seront plusieurs milliers à défiler dans les rues de Vilnius pour rejoindre le parc Vingis et entonner un programme long de plusieurs heures.À lire aussiPourquoi la Lituanie soutient indéfectiblement l'Ukraine?

EPISODE 20 - "THE WORLD WE ARE", WITH DONATA SCHOELLER, PHD. THE LIVING PROCESS WITH GREG MADISON, PHD.  I'm happy to announce The Living Process, Episode 20 with Donata Schoeller. This is the 4th, theme-based, conversation with Donata. This time we are picking up where we left our last conversation and talking about whether a person has an ‘inside'. Topics we cover include “what words do”, what is visible and invisible and how even the invisible can still be perceived. We touch on the interaction of symbols and body, the different spaces we live in, Gene's Process Model, the meaning of gestures, how this all works in the act of felt sensing. Later in the conversation we discuss how felt sensing is a dance and a primary process of making meaning. The general question we are exploring is whether people are separate? Donata expresses this in the beautiful statement:  “we are immersed in a common world net”. Near the end, Donata asks, “What makes this practice so beautiful?”  Where does the sincerity and integrity come from? We conclude the episode by agreeing on our topic for the next conversation.  Episode 20: ‘The World We Are' with Donata Schoeller, PhD. https://youtu.be/n1k3LrwnUck Dr Donata Schoeller is a philosopher who teaches internationally at various universities and is the academic director of the program "Training in Embodied Critical Thinking.  In addition to her extensive work on Gendlin's philosophy, Donata has also published on Gendlin's philosophy and was involved in translating Gendlin's text A Process Model into German.

This is Part 1 of Episode 13. Donata Schoeller and I are doing a series of these shorter episodes on specific topics in embodied thinking and experiential practice. Part one explores the kinds of thinking usually associated with philosophy and especially how we can welcome more embodied critical thinking into philosophy. Part two, which follows, is entitled 'What do we find when we Focus?' and explores questions of subjectivity and 'inside/outside'. In this episode Donata introduces Embodied critical thinking, and how to include more of our experiences into all that we are thinking. We learn positions, arguments, and texts, but it is harder to integrate into thinking what we are experiencing from our own living. We discuss how Focusing and TAE are revolutionary methods to enter into the experiential ground from which our thinking grows. But that move is considered to be private, subjective, or therapeutic. The philosophical culture does not readily allow this feeling of thinking. How can philosophy open up to the felt experience without being accused of becoming therapy? How do we soften the boundaries between the disciplines of philosophy and psychotherapy? Donata names three competencies for this embodied critical thinking. We need a kind of reflective care and experiential listening rather than critical thinking to process our deep thinking. Dr Donata Schoeller is a philosopher who teaches internationally at various universities and is the academic director of the program "Training in Embodied Critical Thinking. In addition to her work on Gendlin's philosophy, Donata has also worked in depth on Meister Eckhart. She has published extensively on Gendlin's philosophy and was involved in translating Gendlin's text A Process Model into German.

This is Part 2 of Episode 13. Donata Schoeller and I are doing a series of these shorter episodes on specific topics in embodied thinking and experiential practice. Part two explores questions of subjectivity and 'inside/outside' in our understanding of Focusing. In this episode, we address the misunderstanding of Focusing as merely a private and subjective practice. Donata offers an understanding of Focusing that is radically different from the old model of subjective/objective. This takes us towards our next topic of 'inside/outside' and whether the body can be thought of as having its own subjective 'inside' that is separate from the world. The episode is about 30 minutes and will, I think, be of relevance to anyone who focuses and how they understand their experience in fresh ways. Many thanks to Donata who proceeded with the episode despite struggling with the flu!

In this episode of the BSuite podcast, host Anne Richardson digs into the complex topic of data privacy with experts Donata Stroink-Skillrud and Hans Skillrud, founders of Termageddon, a service that generates and updates website privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms & conditions for small businesses.  Termageddon exists to help businesses remain in compliance with the rapidly evolving landscape of privacy regulations. Hans and Donata break down the basics of privacy law compliance, explain why a lack of standardized privacy law in the United States (and around the globe) causes so much trouble for business and consumers, and ultimately imagine the positive impact that better privacy practices could have on the advertising industry as a whole.    LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED: American Bar Foundation: https://www.americanbarfoundation.org/ ePrivacy Committee of the American Bar Association: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/science_technology/committees/e-privacy/ Richardson Media Group's Privacy Policy (Generated by Termageddon): https://richardsonmediagroup.com/privacy-policy/ GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/ NOYB: https://noyb.eu/en Federal Trade Commission: https://www.ftc.gov/ Termageddon: https://termageddon.com/ Privacy Lawls: https:/termageddon.com/podcasts/  

Ho terminato pochi giorni fa le live di fine corso con i genitori della mia Dolce Guida, ed è emersa in molte famiglia la stessa fatica: mamma o papà rifiutati dal figlio o dalla figlia. Antonella racconta che il suo bambino di 3 anni da un giorno all'altro non ha più voluto il papà nella fase dell'addormentamento; Donata ha condiviso con noi il fatto che suo figlio di 6 anni è passato dal rifiuto del papà a quello della mamma; Sara e sua figlia sono così in simbiosi da non poter inserire il papà in nessuna routine quotidiana. Dato che queste condivisioni sono state utilissime anche per gli altri genitori della Dolce Guida, vi lascio qui una sintesi di quello che si può fare in questi casi.

She has published extensively on Gendlin's philosophy and was involved in translating Gendlin's text A Process Model into German.

This is a shorter episode of The Living Process where Donata and I outline some of our mutual interests and especially some of her philosophical insights into Gendlin's work. She describes her experience of working with Gendlin on the translation of A Process Model and a little bit about the recent Gendlin Symposium which we both attended. Donata and I have laid out a series of topics that we think would be valuable to delve into more deeply and so we plan to offer a series of follow-up videos on these topics. Our hope is that offering a series of shorter videos rather than trying to pack too much into one episode, will help us to offer conversations that can act as outreach to people who are new to Focusing, Focusing Therapy, and Gendlin's philosophy. Keep an eye out for these upcoming offerings... For more on Donata's work see: https://www.donataschoeller.com

Director, producer and writer Donato Rotunno's third feature film, IO STO BENE (I Am Fine) focuses on the life of Antonio, a man who has spent his whole life away from his home country ofItaly. Antonio is facing down his own mortality when he crosses paths with Leo, a young Italian artist who is trying to make it abroad. The old man and the young woman's destinies mirror each other. Memories from the past are awoken and end up offering a more peaceful future to the both of them. This multi-layered film follows Antonio Spinelli growing up with Vito, his cousin of the same age, and their friend Giuseppe. At the end of the 1960s, pushed out of South Italy by a catastrophic economic situation, they decide to leave the country to work abroad. What's initially supposed to be a short stay to make ends meet will end up determining their individual paths. While Vito works in Belgium and Giuseppe in Germany, Antonio is the only one who goes to a little country called Luxembourg. There, he meets Mady, who becomes his continued support and gives him the strength to be who he really is. Leopoldina prefers to be called Leo. She has finished her graphic design studies and dreams of an artistic career where she could mix graphic design creations and music. She wants to take her future in her own hands and make a living out of her passion. That's why she decides to leave Italy with her boyfriend and dreams of going on tour all over Europe to perform in clubs as a visual jockey. But they break up and Leo's boyfriend goes back to Italy, leaving Leo on her own in Luxembourg. She hasn't told him that she is pregnant. Director and writer Donato Rotunno joins us for a conversation on his affinity for complex stories that illuminate many of the basic truths about love, family, friends and the capricious outcome of the paths we choose to follow.

"Il primo sole dell'estate" di Daniela Raimondi (Nord) è una saga familiare legata al romanzo precedente dell'autrice "La casa sull'argine". In questo caso si va dal '47 ai giorni nostri, quindi in realtà per alcuni decenni i due romanzi scorrono parallelamente, ma in questo secondo volume vengono messi a fuoco personaggi che nell'altro erano in secondo piano. "Il primo sole dell'estate" si concentra sulle vicende di Elsa e Guido che nel '47 hanno una bimba, Norma. E' lei la vera protagonista del romanzo: il al rapporto difficile con una madre anaffettiva, il legame fortissimo con la cugina Donata che scompare tragicamente, la fuga a Londra e il matrimonio, ma soprattutto il legame con Stellata, piccolo paesino emiliano al quale molti personaggi della saga sono affezionati.

"Sorelle - Una storia di Sara" (Rizzoli) è il sesto romanzo con protagonista Sara Morozzi, personaggio creato dalla penna di Maurizio de Giovanni, comparso per la prima volta nel 2018. Sara era stata un'agente dei servizi e ha una grande capacità: interpretare il linguaggio del corpo. Ha un passato pieno di sofferenze, ma anche di sensi di colpa e ora le rimangono pochi affetti. Questo romanzo si concentra sul rapporto tra Sara e Teresa, la mora e la bionda, amiche e colleghe nei Servizi con un legame piuttosto turbolento. Ora Teresa, a capo di quell'unità di cui aveva fatto parte anche Sara, è scomparsa e l'amica deve fare di tutto per ritrovarla. Un romanzo della serie di Sara che si concentra sul rapporto fra le due amiche-nemiche: "Siamo due sorelle che si sono scelte -dice Teresa- che non si sono trovate per caso nello stesso posto e nella stessa famiglia". Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Il primo sole dell'estate" di Daniela Raimondi (Nord), una saga familiare legata al romanzo precedente dell'autrice "La casa sull'argine". In questo caso si va dal '47 ai giorni nostri, quindi in realtà per alcuni decenni i due romanzi scorrono parallelamente, ma in questo secondo volume vengono messi a fuoco personaggi che nell'altro erano in secondo piano.

Tune in as we discuss running a successful agency, stepping into your CEO role, building a business that doesn't rely solely on you, and why we should all stop being so “anti-corporate.” We talk about how to effectively pitch corporations, why it's easier than you think, and our experiences with hustle culture and burning out.For the full show notes and access to resources mentioned in this episode visit https://www.easyscaling.com/blog/episode6In today's episode, we're talking about running a successful agency, stepping into your CEO role, and why we should stop being “anti-corporate.” My guest is Donata White, the CEO of Coffee Date Media, a social media marketing and content production agency. Once a burnt-out attorney in New York City, she started her blog and YouTube channel in 2012 as a creative outlet -- never dreaming it would become so much more. Now she leads a multi-six-figure business and team of 10, working with billion-dollar corporations and solo entrepreneurs alike. Her life did a full 180, and she left her draining job in the big city 4 years ago to run CDM full time from her 40-acre farm. Donata believes in combining solid strategy with a think-big mindset to create the life of your dreams.  Donata regularly works with billion-dollar corporations so we talk a lot about pitching and specifically pitching corporate clients (and why it's easier than you think).  Topics Discussed:Why you should always “stay pitching” and a step by step pitch template to useFinding the right person and leveraging connections to pitch corporationsWhy running an agency is so much fun (and a little woo woo detour)How we've both made the shift from agency to “coaching” and why it feels legitOur experiences with hustle culture and burning outBuilding a business that doesn't rely solely on you as the CEOWhy pitching corporate is a lot easier than you thinkHow agency owners and service providers can leverage job alertsA mindblowing statistic about how small businesses are defined

A lack of a unifying federal privacy law in the U.S. like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and a growing patchwork of state regulations to keep track of, can make it tricky for your business to maintain compliance. This is exactly why we have today's guest here to help us navigate the difficult eco-system of state privacy laws. Donata Stroink-Skillrud is the President of Termageddon and the engineer behind Termageddon's policy questions and text. She is a licensed attorney and a certified information privacy professional. She often volunteers at the Illinois State Bar Association holding courses on the General Data Protection Regulation where she teaches other attorneys on the importance of privacy and what Privacy Policies should contain. Trusting Companies With Your Data Privacy and protecting your personal data has probably shown up on your radar a lot lately because of the number of merchants that have reported data breaches. Target had a huge data breach of 40 million customers back in 2013. When an event of this scale happens, you realize we can't depend on others to protect our data. It was her experience with having her own data compromised in that breach that led Donata to pursue a career in privacy law and policy. Consumers Pay the Price When there is a data breach, consumers are the ones who pay the price. Between monitoring your credit report to make sure no unauthorized lines of credit have been opened, to closing credit accounts or getting new credit cards reissued, there is a great deal of time and effort needed to mitigate the impact of the data breach. This all comes at the expense of the consumer, who has to invest their time in making all the right moves to protect themselves. The High Price on Non-Compliance for Businesses It can be costly for companies when they don't comply with privacy laws. Depending on the state, there can be huge penalties and fines at stake.  However, there is also an enormous cost involved in compliance. Having a privacy policy on your website is just the first step in compliance. Each state has their own privacy laws, so understanding those laws and making sure you comply, for many businesses, requires a full time Compliance Officer. Automating Privacy Policies At one point in her career, Donata ended up being the person that fielded all of the business privacy compliance questions, and she found that meeting the compliance standards for each state was rather repetitive.  This led to the quest for automating this repetitive process of asking the same questions and gathering the same data, and with that automation process, Termageddon was born. Business After GDPR Businesses were thrown another “privacy curveball” in 2014 when the EU passed GDPR. Today, companies don't just have to worry about privacy laws in the U.S., they now have to worry about international privacy laws. GDPR standardized the privacy laws for all the EU countries. The US has not taken that step yet, so business owners and the public must grapple with a bevy of very complex privacy laws in each state. Consenting to Privacy Policies From the consumer standpoint, it's very difficult because these state privacy laws require all these disclosures, making privacy policies really long, really difficult to read. There's a lot of information there. It's very hard for consumers to understand which privacy rights apply to whom. The privacy laws also don't explain the gray areas like how they define a resident, and when a person officially becomes a resident of a state. Pitfalls of the Patchwork Different state laws have different definitions of what it means to sell data. But some companies are saying, we don't really sell your data, but according to California's law, we do.  This makes it confusing for both businesses and consumers to understand what their privacy rights and obligations are.
