I first met Glenn when he decided to get his whole leadership team up and active on LinkedIn earlier this year. And since then, we've had many conversations around the role of LinkedIn for leaders, how it can help reach and reinforce corporate goals, and why it's so important to have more than one voice from within an organisation active online.In this conversation, we dive under the hood of the work Glenn and his leadership team have been doing, explore why he felt LinkedIn was a logical choice, and hear more about what the team's experiences have been since taking that more proactive approach online.TIMESTAMPS:00:06:29 Leverage LinkedIn for professional growth.00:11:47 LinkedIn can significantly influence perception.00:13:39 LinkedIn is a positive platform.00:18:37 Authenticity drives engagement on LinkedIn.00:24:02 Overcoming challenges in LinkedIn engagement.00:28:32 Embrace LinkedIn for personal and business value.00:31:00 Importance of commitment and example.Follow Glenn Patterson: linkedin.com/in/pattersonglennFollow Roger Christie: linkedin.com/in/rogerchristieFor more on this episode and the full show notes head to: propelgroup.com.au/podcast/glenn-pattersonYOUR DIGITAL REPUTATION PROGRAM:Whether you're an emerging leader looking to take your next step up, an established leader keen to protect and harness your hard-earned reputation, or a leadership team keen to get aligned and active online, the Your Digital Reputation Program is perfect for you.For more information or to get started, get in touch with Roger Christie: linkedin.com/in/rogerchristieYOUR DIGITAL REPUTATION NEWSLETTER:And last but not least, sign up to the Your Digital Reputation newsletter by your host, Roger Christie.

Dans ce dernier épisode, nous évoquons la situation en Irlande du Nord depuis l'accord du Vendredi Saint de 1998. Celui-ci avait permis l'instauration d'une administration autonome et le partage du pouvoir. Aujourd'hui, le Royaume-Uni, auquel appartient toujours l'Irlande du Nord, a quitté l'Europe et la frontière avec la République d'Irlande, qui avait pratiquement disparu à la suite des accords de paix, est devenue une ligne de démarcation avec l'Union européenne. Etienne Duval revient en compagnie de plusieurs des intervenants sur ce quart de siècle de paix fragile. Nous retrouvons Laurent Colantonio, professeur d'histoire irlandaise à l'Université du Québec à Montréal, Agnès Maillot, professeure à la Dublin City University, Aaron Edwards, de l'Université de Leicester et Glenn Patterson, romancier, journaliste, professeur au Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry de la Queens University de Belfast. Dimanche 27 mars à 23h05 sur RTS Deux, vous pourrez voir "Le jeu de la vérité", un documentaire réalisé par Fabienne Lips-Dumas (Belgique, 2021). A voir aussi dès aujourd'hui en cliquant sur le lien ci-contre. Résumé du film: Durant les trente ans du conflit nord-irlandais, face à la violence des factions paramilitaires unionistes et indépendantistes, la réponse des Britanniques s'est appuyée sur la propagande et une armée d'agents secrets infiltrés. Aujourd'hui, acteurs et victimes dénoncent un contre-terrorisme qui a dérogé au cadre légal de l'Etat de droit. Sur cette photo tirée du film "Le jeu de la vérité", on peut voir un graffiti signifiant "Attention! La délation peut nuire gravement à votre santé."

Après avoir évoqué l'histoire de l'Irlande, nous nous rendons sur place, à Belfast, capitale de l'Irlande du Nord. Etienne Duval est allé à la rencontre de Glenn Patterson. Romancier, journaliste, professeur au Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry de la Queens University, à Belfast. Avant ce rendez-vous, il a visité un musée méconnu, celui des colons écossais protestants d'Irlande du Nord, les "Ulster Scots", une communauté dont descend l'auteur. David Gilliland, directeur du musée, relate l'histoire de cette communauté dont les membres se retrouvent régulièrement pour écouter des airs de cornemuse. Illustration: drapeau des Ulster Scots. Il existe plusieurs drapeaux assez différents représentant les Ulster Scots, les colons protestants écossais d'Irlande du Nord. Une constante cependant: la main rouge de l'Ulster. Sur celui-ci, on trouve également une feuille de chardon, plante dont la fleur est l'emblème de l'Ecosse. Enfin le fond bleu à croix blanche est celui du drapeau écossais. (© Citizen69/wikimedia )

Contributor: Professor Glenn Patterson Talk Title: Writing and the Border Talk Synopsis: This talk looks at how ideas of borders and boundaries have been reflected in Irish literature. It ranges widely across time and genres and includes reflections on works by Spike Milligan, Anna Burns, Patrick Kavanagh and Seamus Heaney. It suggests that ‘fractal-like, the border recurs and recurs' in much of the writing from/about Northern Ireland down the decades and that this divide is ‘repeated and magnified in the divisions between neighbourhoods, or .. internalised as a set of no-goes and sometimes no thinks'. It picks up on Seamus Heaney's observation (from a 1998 documentary for the BBC) that ‘with so much division around, people are forever encountering boundaries that bring them up short' but also the ways in which borders are sometimes bridged, or transgressed. None of this, Glenn Patterson says, is intended as ‘a survey', rather it ‘is a thought taken for a walk… as wayward and eccentric as its subject.'

It was the biggest bank robbery in British and Irish history. Days before Christmas 2004, gangs of armed men take over the homes of two Northern Bank officials in Belfast and County Down. With family members held hostage, the officials are instructed to remove cash from the vaults of Northern Bank headquarters in Belfast city-centre and load it into the back of a van - not once, but twice - before the van disappears into the night, along with more than £26.5 million in new and used notes. With the finger of blame pointed at the IRA, the raid makes headlines around the world and sends shock-waves through an already faltering Northern Ireland peace process. Through dramatized court testimonies, new interviews and archive, Glenn Patterson takes us into the unfolding story of a meticulously planned heist and its chaotic aftermath. Military precision giving way to soap powder boxes stuffed with cash. The bickering of politicians against the silence of the man said to be the robbery's mastermind. There are even rumours that proceeds from the robbery are to be used as a pension fund for IRA members as it prepares to disarm and disband.

It was the biggest bank robbery in British and Irish history. Days before Christmas 2004, gangs of armed men take over the homes of two Northern Bank officials in Belfast and County Down. With family members held hostage, the officials are instructed to remove cash from the vaults of Northern Bank headquarters in Belfast city-centre and load it into the back of a van - not once, but twice - before the van disappears into the night, along with more than £26.5 million in new and used notes. With the finger of blame pointed at the IRA, the raid makes headlines around the world and sends shock-waves through an already faltering Northern Ireland peace process.

Novelist Glenn Patterson is proudly Belfast, and admits to being baffled by Derry in his childhood - it seemed far off in the distant West, and not quite in Northern Ireland, and not quite in Donegal, on whose border the city lies. Belfast has had a tendency to feel superior culturally, so why then has Derry's unique cultural tale had such a lasting impact and influence on Glenn? The city's Punk rockers The Undertones changed his view of music and 'shook' him awake, so why does he now think of them as Canadians?

Glenn Patterson was born in Belfast in 1961 and studied Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia under Malcolm Bradbury. He is the author of seven novels. The first, Burning Your Own (1988), set in Northern Ireland in 1969, won a Betty Trask Award and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. We met at the Blue Met International Literary Festival in Montreal to talk about reassessing the past, the development and urban topography of his home town Belfast, cities versus nations, Disney, Tolstoy's theory of history, human complexity, his latest novel The Third Party, apathy, public houses, the minor impact of books, and how happy he is with his oeuvre.
