Podcasts about Engagement

In this episode of Power Producer Shoptalk, host David Carothers kicks off the new year with a deep dive into the shifting dynamics of the reinsurance market and what producers need to do to prepare for a softening market. He emphasizes that the "bad news" hard market—where price shopping is rampant—is giving way to a "good news" soft market, where incumbents are harder to displace. David also outlines his aggressive goal to write $1 million in new business revenue in 2026, promising to "show, not tell" by documenting every step of the process. The core of this episode focuses on the Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) sales conversation: how to have it, why it works best in the $100k-$250k premium space, and why getting a Letter of Engagement before going to market is non-negotiable for serious producers. Key Highlights: The Shift from Hard to Soft Market David discusses the recent reinsurance renewals and the early signs of a softening market. He warns producers that the strategies used during the hard market (competing on price when incumbents deliver bad news) will no longer work. In a soft market, incumbents deliver rate decreases, making it harder to get appointments. Now is the time to "sew your seeds" and pivot your messaging. The "Show, Don't Tell" 2026 Challenge David announces his personal goal to write $1 million in new business revenue in 2026. He commits to documenting the entire journey—prospecting, meetings, and closing—in real-time, shifting his content focus back to the trenches of Florida Risk Partners to prove that his methods work in today's environment. Mastering the Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) Conversation This episode is a masterclass on the TCOR sales process. David explains why he never goes to market without a signed Letter of Engagement on middle-market accounts. He breaks down the ideal premium sweet spot ($100k-$250k) where this conversation is most effective, noting that accounts in this range are often hearing about TCOR and broker selection for the first time. Qualifying the Decision Maker David shares a critical soft-skill tactic for identifying the true decision maker without offending your point of contact. Instead of bluntly asking "Are you the decision maker?", he suggests asking: "Is there anyone else who is typically part of the decision-making process that we should include in our next meeting?" This question preserves relationships while ensuring you aren't wasting time pitching to someone who can't sign the check. Stop "Quoting and Hoping" The episode challenges the traditional "quote and hope" strategy of waiting 90 days out to shop a renewal. David argues that this method commoditizes the producer. Instead, he advocates for a consultative approach that secures the client's commitment before doing the work, using a Letter of Engagement to validate the relationship and take control of the market.

What if the real reason workplace engagement hasn't budged in 30 years is because we've made leadership too complicated? In this kickoff to a powerful new content partnership, Nikki introduces Dr. Ryan Darby, organizational psychologist, leadership simplifier, and founder of WorkStrong. Ryan's not here for hype. He's here for habits.

You'll hear the backstory of Work Strong's creation, rooted in real gaps spotted inside thriving companies. You'll also get a sneak peek into the upcoming "Work Doesn't Work (Anymore)" series and why Ryan believes the future of leadership lies in emotional regulation, discipline, and better listening, not more content.

In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven Newmark breaks down a surprising moment of bipartisan agreement in Congress: a new Health and Human Services funding bill that includes meaningful wins for patients and public health. From protecting CDC and NIH funding to extending telehealth flexibilities and hospital-at-home programs, the bill also takes historic steps to reform Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), aiming to make drug pricing more transparent and patient-centered. Steven walks through what’s in the legislation, what was left out, and why PBM reform could have a direct impact on out-of-pocket costs and medication access. Plus, what this deal signals about the power of patient advocacy in shaping policy—even in a divided political climate.

Trois fois par jour, nous faisons des choix actifs, parfois même activistes. Sans toujours nous en rendre compte, nous soutenons un type d'agriculture, la souveraineté alimentaire française, le niveau de vie de nos producteurs et notre santé d'aujourd'hui et de demain… en choisissant ce que nous mettons dans nos assiettes !Sacrée responsabilité qui tombe d'un coup sur nos frêles épaules…Pourtant, si nos intentions sont claires, ce n'est pas toujours facile d'être cohérent au quotidien. Plein de choses entre en jeu : le prix d'abord bien sûr, la praticité pour faire nos courses, nos goûts évidemment…  Et aussi, en rayon, notre capacité à comprendre la qualité des produits que nous achetons.Et c'est là où le bât blesse, car en rayon, les labels et les scores ont fleuri. Chaque grande surface a développé les siens, nous avons vu venir Nutri-Score, Planet-Score, Eco-Score, Haute Valeur Environnementale, Bio, AOP, AOC, IGP, Label Rouge… et j'en passe… et en quelques années, on est passé de pas d'info à trop d'info…Alors aujourd'hui, je vous invite à une discussion avec Sabine Bonnot, la cofondatrice et présidente de Planet-score, l'étiquetage environnemental indépendant devenu leader en Europe.Vous voulez quelques chiffres sur Planet-score ? En quelques années seulement, Planet-score s'est déployé dans 12 pays, a embarqué 330 marques,et se retrouve sur 135 000 produits et 330 000 000 d'emballages en rayon… et sur l'appli mobile d'UFC Que choisir, la plus grande asso de consommateurs en France.Au-delà des chiffres, ce qui m'a intéressé dans Planet-score, c'est qu'il s'agit d'un organisme complétement indépendant (indispensable dans cette industrie !), dont la marque est détenu par un fonds de dotation (qui garantit le cap de Planet-score dans la durée), qui a défini ses mécanismes avec des scientifiques reconnus et des experts de terrain (indipensable pour juger de la pertinence des évaluations).Aujourd'hui, c'est un outil dont se saisissent les marques pour améliorer leur recette en faisant de l'éco-conception. Dans cet échange, Sabine raconteson parcours atypique de l'industrie agro-alimentaire à la reprise d'une exploitation agricole en passant par le développement de Planet-score,les enjeux du monde agricole, sans dogmatisme, avec nuance et subtilité. Elle nous explique les disfonctionnements actuels et décrypte notamment comment les modes de calcul officiels de l'impact d'un produit ont été complétement faussés par le travail de lobbying exercé à Bruxelles par les grands groupes agro-alimentaires. Ces calculs conduisent à des aberrations -faisant notamment apparaître les filières les plus intensives comme les plus vertueuses …no comment.comment on peut aider les consommateurs à y voir clair et embarquer les marques dans des démarches de progrès ! Il y a de la lumière au bout du tunnel !Un épisode très éducatif et qui, dans cette période de reculs législatifs majeurs, m'a finalement laissée optimiste sur les changements possibles quand on travaille en coalition entre scientifiques, entreprises et monde agricole... sous la saine pression des consommateurs !

In this episode, Mathew Klickstein , the host of Comic-Con Begins, and Emily Schindler, Senior Director of Learning and Engagement at the Comic-Con Museum, educate us on the history of and learning opportunities at San Diego Comic-Con. Mathew discusses how Comic-Con formed and why he documents that history in his podcast and his book, See You At San Diego: An Oral History of Comic-Con, Fandom, and the Triumph of Geek Culture. Emily informs us about what is displayed at the Comic-Con Museum and the educational programs she runs. She describes the outreach and collaboration that happens between the museum and institutions around San Diego County. At the heart of this conversation is the formation and nurturing of communities that occur because of Comic-Con. Mathew tackles this as a SDCC historian and Emily as an SDCC educator. By the end of the episode, we ask how the culture and construction of SDCC have changed since its inception. We also question what being part of the Comic-Con means and how it's preserved. Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Academic/Educational readings and resources:See You At San Diego: An Oral History of Comic-Con, Fandom, and the Triumph of Geek CultureSlimed!

In dieser Folge von Mikroökonom beschäftigen sich die Moderatoren Marco Herack und Jens mit drei Hauptthemen, beginnend mit der Kontroverse um digitale Trinkgelder. Marco äußert seine Ablehnung gegenüber dem zunehmenden Druck, bei digitalen Transaktionen Trinkgeld zu geben, und argumentiert, dass dies eher einer Forderung als einer Wahl gleichkomme. Er hebt die psychologischen Auswirkungen dieses Trends hervor, insbesondere wie er sich auf das Kundenerlebnis und die Wahrnehmung der Dienstleistung auswirkt. Die Diskussion geht in eine breitere Analyse der Trinkgeldkultur in Deutschland über, wo sie die Auswirkungen steigender Preise und des Mindestlohns auf das Trinkgeldverhalten untersuchen und einen Rückgang dieser Praxis in verschiedenen Dienstleistungsbranchen aufzeigen. Das Gespräch wendet sich dann der politischen Landschaft in den USA zu und konzentriert sich auf Donald Trumps Strategien im Vorfeld der Zwischenwahlen. Jens skizziert Trumps Versuche, die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen zu manipulieren, um sein Image zu stärken, darunter der Druck auf die Federal Reserve, die Zinssätze zu senken, und das Eintreten für niedrigere Kreditkartenzinsen. Die Moderatoren diskutieren die Auswirkungen dieser Maßnahmen auf die Wirtschaft und die möglichen Folgen für die amerikanischen Verbraucher und betonen dabei den transaktionalen Charakter von Trumps Regierungsstil. Insgesamt bietet die Folge eine kritische Betrachtung sowohl der Trinkgeldkultur als auch der politischen Manöver im Kontext wirtschaftlicher Zwänge. In dieser Folge tauchen Marco Herack und Jens in die Komplexität der US-Politik ein und konzentrieren sich dabei insbesondere auf die Auswirkungen von Trumps Außenpolitik und die bevorstehenden Zwischenwahlen. Sie diskutieren die gemischten Gefühle der Wähler gegenüber Trumps Maßnahmen, insbesondere unter evangelikalen Gruppen, und die möglichen Auswirkungen von Taktiken zur Unterdrückung von Wählern auf das Engagement der Demokraten. Das Gespräch wendet sich dann wirtschaftlichen Themen zu, wobei sie die aktuelle Lage der US-Wirtschaft, die Inflation und die Rolle der Federal Reserve unter Trumps Einfluss analysieren. Sie äußern sich skeptisch über die Nachhaltigkeit des Wirtschaftswachstums und die Risiken einer übermäßigen Abhängigkeit von Konjunkturmaßnahmen, die zu einem Vertrauensverlust in Finanzinstitute führen könnten. Die Diskussion geht dann über zur Gig Economy, insbesondere zu den jüngsten Änderungen der Mindestlohngesetze für Lieferfahrer in New York. Marco hebt die unbeabsichtigten Folgen dieser Gesetze hervor, wie z. B. einen Rückgang der Trinkgelder und eine Verringerung der aktiven Fahrer, während Jens die weiterreichenden Auswirkungen auf Gig-Economy-Plattformen betont. Sie schließen mit Überlegungen zur sich wandelnden Natur von Arbeit und Vergütung im digitalen Zeitalter und betonen die Notwendigkeit eines tieferen Verständnisses dafür, wie sich diese Veränderungen sowohl auf Arbeitnehmer als auch auf Verbraucher auswirken.

In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Jen Elworthy, fertility career coach and Director of Engagement at Fertility Matters at Work, to explore how career coaching can support you while going through fertility treatment. Jen joined our team in July 2025, and since then I've had the joy of learning from her insight, empathy and real-world experience. She has lived through the impact of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage while working in high-pressure environments, and she shares how these experiences shaped her approach to coaching. If you've ever felt stuck in your job because of your treatment, uncertain how to talk to work, or unable to see a career path that aligns with what you're going through, this episode is for you. What we discuss in this episode: Jen's personal fertility journey, including multiple losses and the emotional toll on her mental health and career How she moved from ambitious and confident to experiencing panic attacks at work The challenges of opening up to colleagues and managers during early treatment The power of having just one supportive person at work who gets it Her IVF survival kit and practical tips for managing during a workday Why “career coaching” isn't just for high-flyers or executives Examples of how she's helped clients through job changes, promotions, sabbaticals, and re-aligning their work-life balance Her approach to resilience coaching and “bounce back ability” during treatment Why therapy helped her heal, but coaching helped her move forward Misconceptions about who coaching is for, and why it can be more accessible than you think How Jen structured her coaching offers to meet people at different financial entry points Jen's support offerings include: One-to-one coaching (short-term or long-term packages) One-off coaching conversations Employer-sponsored coaching (some clients have had it covered as part of redundancy packages) Low-cost workshops (around £20–£25) Free resources and templates on her website Free newsletter + insights via LinkedIn and Instagram If you're considering career coaching but aren't sure it's “for you”, this is your reminder that it's absolutely okay to ask for help, and there are options at every level.

Generation Z health professions students often struggle to stay engaged with large volumes of assigned readings, especially when the reading involves dense academic texts or unfamiliar vocabulary. Rather than relying solely on independent, out-of-class reading, consider incorporating guided in-class readings as an active learning strategy. Break readings into manageable segments and structure your class to alternate between brief reading periods (5-10 minutes) and guided discussion. This approach helps students process material in real time. Learn more about this classroom strategy from Dr. Kristopher Jackson in this podcast and teaching tip.

In this episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with one of the original social media influencers and SAME founder & CEO Shea Marie, for a candid conversation about evolution, personally, publicly, and professionally. Shea opens up about entering a new season of life, from ringing in the New Year in Aspen and sharing her engagement story to navigating what it really means to keep a relationship both public and protected. Together, they talk about dating in the spotlight, why Shea has intentionally chosen to share less online, and how her relationship with the internet has changed over time. Shea reflects on her early move to LA, her first tough job in PR, and the lessons that ultimately led her to start blogging at a time when influencers weren't taken seriously. She dives into the realities of being an OG in the space, from doing unpaid campaigns and being underestimated, to learning how to separate herself as a creator from the brand she built.

Feeling a dip in student engagement in your ESL classroom? You're not alone—and you're not doing anything wrong. In this episode, we talk about why engagement naturally fades during certain seasons of the school year and how small, intentional shifts can bring energy, joy, and participation back into your lessons without adding more work to your plate. This episode is designed to support ESL educators who are navigating tired students, low energy, and the pressure to keep learning meaningful during busy, high-stress times of the year. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why student engagement naturally rises and falls throughout the school year How seasonal fatigue impacts multilingual learners (and teachers) Why low engagement does not mean low ability or motivation The connection between engagement, confidence, and language growth Engagement Boosters You Can Use Immediately: Strategy #1: Add Purposeful Movement Why movement reactivates the brain and boosts language output Simple movement ideas like Stand-Share-Switch, Gallery Walks, acting out vocabulary, and movement-based sorting How even a few minutes of movement can transform classroom energy Strategy #2: Increase Engagement Through Student Choice How choice builds ownership and motivation Easy ways to offer choice without overwhelming students or planning time Options for response type, learning tools, and task order Why This Matters for ESL Learners: Engaged students take more risks with language Participation leads to stronger retention and faster growth Engagement creates meaningful, empowering language experiences—not just "fun" activities Challenge of the Week: Choose one engagement booster from today's episode and use it in one lesson this week. Notice how student energy, participation, and confidence shift with just that small change.

Listeners are encouraged to choose and communicate a clear theme for the year to lead with consistency, care, and lasting impact.

Kicking off 2026, let's cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters: edtech tools that can genuinely move the needle for educators. Rather than chasing trends or shiny new platforms, this episode is about intentional, practical technology use that supports feedback, collaboration, creativity, engagement, organization, and student voice.#EdTech Thought: Shrinking the Engagement GapThe episode tackles the growing disconnect between students' highly interactive digital lives outside of school and the passive digital experiences they often encounter in classrooms.Chris challenges the idea that more screen time equals more engagement and introduces the 80/20 Producer Strategy:For every 80% of the time students spend consuming informationEnsure at least 20% is spent creating something with value beyond the gradebookThe core message:Engagement in 2026 isn't about flashy tools. It's about student agency. When students create, design, build, and solve real problems, the engagement gap begins to close.Six Tools to Level Up in 2026#1 Mote — Rethinking FeedbackFeedback is essential but time-consuming. Mote allows educators to leave quick voice comments directly inside Google Docs, Slides, and LMS platforms.Why it matters:Faster than typingMore personal and humanAccessible through audio + transcriptionLevel-Up Question:Where in your workflow could your voice be more effective than your keyboard?#2 FigJam — Making Thinking VisibleFigJam is a collaborative digital whiteboard that turns learning into an active, visible process.Use it to:Brainstorm and organize ideasCapture student thinking in real timeSupport collaboration for both synchronous and asynchronous workLevel-Up Question:How often do students visually share their thinking before submitting a final product?#3 Canva — Creativity That CommunicatesCanva has evolved into a full creation and communication platform, allowing students to demonstrate learning visually and professionally.Classroom possibilities include:Infographics and explainer visualsDigital portfoliosEthical media creation and storytellingLevel-Up Question:Are students creating content — or just consuming it?#4 Curipod, Pear Deck & Nearpod — Real-Time EngagementThese tools transform traditional presentations into interactive learning experiences through polls, questions, and formative checks.Why they work:Immediate insight into student understandingNo extra gradingIncreased accountability without pressureLevel-Up Question:How often do you

Transcript:Da: Snefnuggene dalede stille ned over byen, mens Soren og Astrid trådte ind i det store Museum for Naturhistorie.En: The snowflakes drifted quietly down over the city as Soren and Astrid stepped into the large Museum of Natural History.Da: De var rejst hele vejen fra København til denne weekendtur, langt væk for at nyde tid sammen.En: They had traveled all the way from København for this weekend getaway, far away to enjoy time together.Da: Museet, med sine høje lofter og et væld af udstillinger, føltes som en portal til verdens tidligste mysterier.En: The museum, with its high ceilings and a wealth of exhibits, felt like a portal to the world's earliest mysteries.Da: Soren havde en hemmelig plan.En: Soren had a secret plan.Da: Han ville finde det perfekte øjeblik til at fri til Astrid.En: He wanted to find the perfect moment to propose to Astrid.Da: Han elskede at dele sin passion for historie og videnskab med hende, og det her museum føltes som det ideelle sted.En: He loved sharing his passion for history and science with her, and this museum felt like the ideal place.Da: Men i dag var museet fyldt med besøgende, alle ivrige efter at se de enorme dinosaurknogler og glitrende krystaller.En: But today, the museum was filled with visitors, all eager to see the enormous dinosaur bones and glittering crystals.Da: Astrid kastede henrykte blikke rundt i de forskellige udstillinger, men dybt inde mærkede hun en snert af usikkerhed.En: Astrid cast delighted glances around the various exhibits, but deep inside she felt a tinge of uncertainty.Da: Forholdet med Soren var vigtigt for hende, men hun ønskede klarhed over deres fremtid.En: Her relationship with Soren was important to her, but she desired clarity about their future.Da: Hendes sind var fyldt med spørgsmål, som truede med at fjerne hendes tilstedeværelse fra øjeblikket.En: Her mind was filled with questions, threatening to remove her presence from the moment.Da: Soren bemærkede folks summen og den konstante strøm af besøgende.En: Soren noticed the hum of people and the constant stream of visitors.Da: Det udfordrede ham, for det var næsten umuligt at finde et privat øjeblik.En: It challenged him, as it was nearly impossible to find a private moment.Da: Men tanken om at deltage i dinosaurudstillingen gav ham en idé.En: But the thought of joining the dinosaur exhibit gave him an idea.Da: Han førte Astrid hen mod den lidt roligere del af museet, hvor en majestætisk dinosaur stod.En: He led Astrid towards a slightly quieter part of the museum, where a majestic dinosaur stood.Da: De stoppede ved den store Tyrannosaurus Rex.En: They stopped by the large Tyrannosaurus Rex.Da: Astrid blev draget af dens styrke og historie.En: Astrid was drawn to its power and history.Da: Soren tog hendes hånd og trak vejret dybt.En: Soren took her hand and took a deep breath.Da: Han var lige ved at bukke ned på knæ, da en stemme over højtalerne brød den stille luft.En: He was just about to kneel when a voice over the loudspeaker broke the still air.Da: En speciel dinosaurbegivenhed blev annonceret, og mange mennesker skyndte sig hen til dem.En: A special dinosaur event was announced, and many people hurried over to them.Da: Pludselig var det rolige hjørne et mylder af forventningsfulde mennesker.En: Suddenly, the quiet corner became a flurry of expectant people.Da: Soren mødte Astrids øjne, og i det virvar af stemmer og bevægelser, samlede han sit mod.En: Soren met Astrid's eyes, and amidst the chaos of voices and movements, he gathered his courage.Da: "Astrid," begyndte han, hans stemme lys i al tumulten, "jeg elsker dig.En: "Astrid," he began, his voice bright in all the tumult, "I love you.Da: Mere end alt."En: More than anything."Da: Folk omkring dem standsede op et kort øjeblik, nogle smilende, nogle optagede af begivenheden.En: People around them paused for a brief moment, some smiling, some focused on the event.Da: "Vil du gifte dig med mig?"En: "Will you marry me?"Da: Astrids tvivl smuldrede væk, erstattet af en strålende glæde.En: Astrid's doubts crumbled away, replaced by radiant joy.Da: Hun lo, en lys og klar latter, som blandede sig med rummets lyde.En: She laughed, a light and clear laughter, blending with the sounds of the room.Da: "Ja, Soren!En: "Yes, Soren!Da: Selvfølgelig vil jeg det," svarede hun varmt.En: Of course, I will," she replied warmly.Da: Spontaniteten i øjeblikket skabte en uforglemmelig oplevelse for dem begge.En: The spontaneity of the moment created an unforgettable experience for them both.Da: Soren følte en lettelse og en dyb glæde.En: Soren felt a relief and a deep joy.Da: Han lærte at nogle af de bedste øjeblikke sker uplanlagt.En: He learned that some of the best moments happen unplanned.Da: Astrid indså, at når hun lod tvivlen flyve bort, fandt hun en dybere forbindelse og ny glæde i de små magiske øjeblikke med Soren.En: Astrid realized that when she let her doubts fly away, she found a deeper connection and new joy in the small magical moments with Soren.Da: Sammen vandrede de videre gennem museet, nu forlovet og fulde af håb for det, der venter forude.En: Together, they wandered further through the museum, now engaged and full of hope for what lies ahead.Da: Museet summede videre med liv, og deres kærlighed fandt på ny en stærk, fælles vej i dagene fremad.En: The museum buzzed on with life, and their love found anew a strong, shared path in the days to come.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode, Alexandra Beller takes us deep into the role of movement in acting and how it naturally evolves through collaboration between actors, directors, and designers.Alexandra explains that movement isn't something imposed on a performance—it emerges from the relationship between body language, text, and the energetic exchange between characters. She talks about recognizing when something feels “off” in a scene and how that friction can actually be used as a creative tool to strengthen performance rather than something to avoid.Drawing from examples in television, Alexandra discusses how shows like Gilmore Girls and This Is Us use timing, rhythm, and dialogue to generate emotional impact. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity and stakes, noting how a director's guidance around movement can deepen narrative clarity and emotional truth.Throughout the conversation, Alexandra highlights how physical choices can reveal character intention and elevate storytelling. She also introduces her upcoming book, The Anatomy of Art, which explores the artistic process and includes practical exercises designed to help creatives grow through embodied practice.If you're interested in how movement, energy, and intention intersect in performance, this episode offers valuable insight into how physicality can transform acting from the inside out.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:18 - Collaboration in Art00:01:05 - Analyzing and Understanding Actors00:01:37 - Interpreting and Directing Dialogues00:02:51 - Stylization and Context in Film00:04:39 - Reading Characters and Predicting Outcomes00:06:12 - Understanding Body Language in Acting00:09:14 - Interpreting Non-Verbal Communication00:11:21 - Experiencing Film and Theater00:11:50 - Engagement and Authenticity in Performance00:12:54 - Influence of Global Theater on Work00:13:07 - Working with Directors00:13:55 - Constellatory Thinking in Directing00:15:45 - The Role of Embodiment in Directing00:17:30 - The Art of Choreography00:18:58 - Influence of Global Theater Styles00:21:21 - Praxis Space: An Artistic Community00:21:22 - The Anatomy of Art: A New Book00:21:22 - The Anatomy of Art: A Deeper Dive00:25:47 - The Role of Directing in Acting00:30:00 - Inside the Actor's Studio: Quick Answers00:31:29 - Reading Habits and Preferences00:32:04 - Listening Preferences00:32:04 - Watching Preferences00:33:16 - Discussion on Recent Movies00:33:22 - In-depth Analysis of Superman Reboot00:36:24 - Contact Information and Course Offerings00:37:24 - Closing RemarksCheck out her website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alexandrabellerdances.org/

Depuis 8 ans, j'écoute des personnalités remarquables de l'écosystème des métiers d'art avec la conviction que leur parole éclaire. Quel que soit notre métier, du plus proche au plus loin de l'établi, choisir de travailler dans les métiers d'art dans le monde qui nous a vu naître et encore plus dans celui qui nous verra mourir, c'est une forme d'engagement. Je le vis et j'en suis témoin à mon micro et partout dans les ateliers, dans les écoles, dans les institutions, dans les associations : l'engagement se vit au quotidien à travers le choix de la collaboration, du temps long, de la valorisation du Vivant, du respect des territoires, de l'innovation vertueuse, de la transmission respectueuse.. Les valeurs qui ont permis aux métiers d'art de traverser les millénaires peuvent nourrir et éclairer le monde qui advient. J'ai appelé ça l'intelligence artisanale parce que c'est un miroir inversé de l'intelligence artificielle mais au-delà de la formule, je crois de tout mon cœur que nous, professionnels des métiers d'art au sens large, avons beaucoup à partager et à transmettre. Nous avons aussi beaucoup à recevoir de la part d'acteurs remarquables d'autres écosystèmes: politiques, culturels, économiques, associatifs afin de muscler notre pensée et notre capacité à agir pour la société et pour la planète. C'est pourquoi désormais The Craft Project ouvre grand ses portes et ses oreilles pour porter la voix de l'engagement au-delà des métiers d'art. J'ai hâte de partager ici et partout la parole de mes invités: Elsa Da Costa (Janvier) Samuel Valensi (Février) et de rencontrer ceux qui nous accompagneront tout au long de cette année. 

In this solo episode of Waking Up With Melissa, I'm sharing the real reason a client was able to 10x her engagement without posting more, changing her niche, or fixing her strategy.This isn't a hacks episode. It's a perspective episode for soulful entrepreneurs who have been doing everything “right,” yet still feel like their content is heavy, engagement is forced or inconsistent, and connection feels harder than it should. If you're craving deeper resonance instead of more tactics, this conversation will shift how you think about content, trust, and leadershipIn this episode, we explore:Why teaching more doesn't automatically build trustThe difference between a creator, a teacher, and a leaderHow sharing your life (without oversharing) increases engagementWhy perspective converts faster than educationWhat actually changed when my client stopped “performing” and started sharingHow Trial Reels, hook testing, and perspective-based content work togetherStay ConnectedPS: Unleash & Unveil Your Soul Business is officially open for 2026.

Through the lense of Upaya 'the skilful means' of the Bodhisattva, Parami explores the seemingly contradictory themes of withdrawal and engagement on the Bodhisattva path. She demonstrates how they are synthesised by drawing on the last four stages of the spiral / transcendental path and how they culminate in the arising of the bodhicitta.
