Fascinating podcast interview and conversation with Damian Costello about his views on Society 3.0 and his conversion to the importance of environmental issues. See more in his article for this year’s CongRegation here and join him at the event also which is on this Saturday. Damian explained, since last year’s Congregation I have become an environmentalist. For years I’ve been working towards a more empathetic and sustainable society, but recently I’ve come to realise that environmental disasters might destroy civilisation before Society 3.0 can ever emerge.

Summary of his CongRegation article below, read it all here For decades, scientists have been preaching to the public while demonizing those who ignore their warnings, but this approach is clearly not working. We have allowed the debate on the future of civilisation to become polarised, leaving the public confused, angry, and easily manipulated by those willing to deliver comforting lies. Humanity’s response to COVID-19 proves that ordinary people are fair and decent and given half a chance, are willing to make personal sacrifices for the greater good. So, let’s stop preaching to them from our ivory towers. Let’s show them that we stand with them in the THEIR fight for a better future.

One day virtual mind mesh festival of thinking, sharing and connecting. Celebrating its 8th year, CongRegation™ #cong20 (Nov 21st), will be a virtual event due to Covid-19 restrictions. With the theme of ‘Society 3.0' we are looking for curious minds from a range of diverse backgrounds/sectors who will share their unique perspective of our society – where we have come from, what we have become and what we want in our future. We are treating the theme in its broadest form from psychology, technology, personal experiences to methodologies and ideas. We want to hear how people see, experience or what they think of “Society”, be it a personal one, business or career transition. One of the key components of CongRegation™ is the diverse background and thinking of attendees and this includes technologists, psychologists, business people, start up community, academics, visionaries, disruptors and sector specific from farming to manufacturing. Tickets are earned via a submission on the theme which will be debated in virtual huddles on November 21st 2020.
Art does more than question our surroundings. It can also serve as a community forum, as Cliona Maher explains in this congversation. Show notes at http://www.insideview.ie/2018/12/congversation-11.html with music by Andre Louis.00:33 If someone used five words to find you on Google—and one of those words was Cliona—what would the other four words be? It depends _why_ people were looking for Cliona.00:58 What sorts of imagery, video clips, audio snippets, or other forms of media text are associated with Cliona Maher? You would probably find pictures of Cliona with others.03:10 The 2019 theme of Congregation is “community”. How important is the role of art in the development of a vibrant community?

Welcome back to Ireland's award-winning Finance Blog where we are on a mission to share ideas that will have a lasting and positive impact for you. This week were are sharing something a little different, and hope that it hits the mark, that it perhaps gets you thinking and perhaps even encourages you to do something you want to do! It is bigger than personal finance or financial planning, this is about you and your life! In November each year, for the past 6 years anyway, there has been an 'unconference' called Congregation happening in the small and lovely village of Cong in Mayo. It was created by and organised each year by one man, a guy by the name of Eoin Kennedy, who is a digital communicator, entrepreneur, trainer and all round good guy it seems! Not sure where he got the idea but he gets 80-100 people to Cong every year, from a hugely diverse range of backgrounds to present their thoughts, ideas and debate on various different topics. Unlike a typical conference where you sit and listen to a speaker Congregation revolved around the principal that everyone in attendance presents a piece during the day, and then the groups have an opportunity to discuss what was just said, share their views and get lots of different input from lots of different people. I always find it hard to explain it, indeed I was total at a loss when it was first explained to me by Alan O'Rourke from Bettystown who is a speaker, lecturer, marketer & writer. Anyway, unlike a typical conference you can't buy a ticket, you can only gain entry by submitting your thoughts on the given topic each year. This year it was 'ideas' so in order to get a spot you had to write, record, create a short piece about 'ideas', and then prepare to pitch that to the group on the day. Sounds daunting to some but this is the most familial, non-threatening and open gathering of interesting and smart people I have had the pleasure of attending in my 38 years! It is an eclectic mix of all-sorts; writers, CEO's, farmers, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, educators, inventors, makers, doers and dreamers, and all in it to share ideas and hear from other interested folks, where would you get it!

Tribes. Communities. Congregations. Business forums where like minded people come together to share ideas, stories and insights are plentiful online and offline. And recognising that you can't be all things to all people and your limited resources (including time)... ...How do you decide which groups you'll choose to embrace and prioritise? Then, what steps can you take to set the groups you support up for greater success? Listen in to an interview with entrepreneur and PR veteran Eoin Kennedy about: Why sharing your knowledge, insights and idea in mutually beneficial forums really pays, and Why so many Irish social media practitioners, agencies, academics and businesses plan to participate at the new Congregation.ie un-conference in Cong, County Mayo, later this month. How Congregations Can Boost Visibility for Your Messages In today's podcast, Eamonn O'Brien and Eoin discuss: What's happening in Cong on the 30th November Who it's for and how you can earn the right to be there Why businesses should pay more attention to collaboration when promoting their ideas Why some business communities seem to thrive while others fall by the wayside Key considerations when choosing which groups you'll support What it takes for communities to grow and achieve sustainability And more
