Stop Talking to the RiderJulie Dirksen over gedragsverandering, de olifant in de kamer en waarom weten nooit genoeg isVan Jeanne Als je ooit voor een groep hebt gestaan, een sessie hebt gegeven waar je echt trots op was, en twee weken later niets veranderd zag — dan is deze aflevering voor jou. Precies dat overkwam mij vroeg in mijn loopbaan. Ik gaf een training van twee uur die mensen bijna de zaal uitjoeg om een nieuw product te gaan verkopen. Twee weken later: nul. Achteraf bleek dat niemand er een bonus voor kreeg. Ik had die vraag nooit gesteld.Julie Dirksen heeft meer dan vele jaren lang precies die vraag gesteld. Ze is de auteur van Design for How People Learn, een klassieker in het vak, en van Talk to the Elephant: wat doe je als mensen weten wat ze moeten doen, maar het toch niet doen? Ik verspreid dat boek overal. Het is zo goed.We namen dit gesprek op in het Engels, en ik ben blij dat we dat deden. Julie is scherp, warm en heeft de gave om gedragswetenschap meteen bruikbaar te laten voelen. Ik hoop dat je er net zoveel aan hebt als ik.Over Julie Dirksen Julie Dirksen heeft een master in Instructional Systems Technology van Indiana University. Ze heeft tientallen jaren organisaties geholpen met het ontwerpen van leren dat gedrag echt verandert, en werd erkend als Guild Master door de e-Learning Guild. Haar boeken gelden als verplichte kost voor iedereen in learning and development.Wat je in deze aflevering hoort  De vraag die Julie niet los kon laten na haar eerste boek: wat doe je als mensen weten wat ze moeten doen, maar het nog steeds niet doen?De Olifant-en-Ruiter-metafoor, oorspronkelijk van Jonathan Haidt, en waarom de meeste leerinterventies alleen met de Ruiter praten terwijl de Olifant verveeld zijn Instagram checkt.De twee factoren die Julie nog nooit heeft gemist bij een moeilijk gedragsveranderingsprobleem: concurrerende prioriteiten en vertraagde of afwezige feedback.De change ladder: een praktisch kader om te diagnosticeren waar mensen werkelijk staan, van niet weten tot weten maar niet overtuigd, tot overtuigd maar vastgelopen, tot praktische ondersteuning nodig hebben, tot gewoonte opbouwen en onderhouden.Waarom meer informatie geven, luider en nadrukkelijker, bijna nooit het antwoord is.Hoe je het gesprek ombuigt als collega's of opdrachtgevers beginnen met het de schuld geven aan deelnemers.Actieplanning versus positieve visualisatie: waarom jezelf succesvol inbeelden veel minder werkt dan nadenken over alles wat je zou kunnen tegenhouden.AI en defaults: waarom mensen veel beter zijn in het genereren van content dan in het kritisch controleren ervan, en wat dat betekent voor hoe we deze tools gebruiken.Een vooruitblik op Julie's nieuwe boek: Designed for How People Build Skills, verwacht in het najaar.Julie's twee dingen voor morgenVraag je af wat alles in het systeem nu doet om het gewenste gedrag te bevorderen of te belemmeren. Hoeveel van die dingen kun jij aanpakken met een leeroplossing?Kijk naar de feedbackmechanismen. Welke feedback krijgen mensen nu op hun gedrag?

Last week your solo host, Stephen, shared a hot take: that some authors’ sudden hot takes on political topics add more heat than light. These cringe political posts distract from the author's job and confuse fans, and some go further into sinful slanders. Now that Zack is back, let's re-engage this topic as fans and explore hope for biblical unity. Without telling anyone to “stop with politics!” or missing real concerns, how can authors post better about those topics, if they post at all? Episode sponsors The Restitching of Camille DuLaine by Lindsay A. Franklin Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo Interregnum by J. A. Webb Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: The Restitching of Camille DuLaine review. Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Authors: sign up for the Authorship as a Creator or Pro Novelist 1. Top recent celebrity political wins and fails Last week, Stephen should have predicted Grammy Awards cringe. He feels sympathy for Billy Eilish and others who just say stuff. Some celebrities can get away with this because they're Big. Example 1: J.K. Rowling, who lives in a castle and everything. Example 2: George Clooney, legacy, leftist, but moderate in tone. Example 3: Conservative actors who find other (often niche) work. Authors who feel tempted to this openness: are you Big like them? It's like going out to buy a $10,000 suit before you can afford this. If not, the cringe political post isn't an upgrade, but a downgrade. Personally, Stephen doesn't mind politically outspoken celebrities. Those who do this out of seeming grace/surplus tend to win. Those who do this out of seeming vengeance/poverty tend to lose. Big tip here for aspiring authors: you must give more than you take. Otherwise they look kinda desperate for attention, or else insincere. 2. Engaging your responses to episode 298 Our own Guildmaster, Ticia Messing, wants a refuge: I have several indie authors I read or recently subscribed to their newsletters who all took part in a join political statement over the weekend with the same general idea. It was clearly to win political points for their side, and it was clearly a “If you do not agree with me, you are wrong,” and reading it I felt dirty and used. Even the author who tried to be more circumspect in how she talked about it because it was still clear what she was talking about. My problem is I come to their newsletters not to read about politics; it is my refuge from politics. I read them to find out about how their writing is going, a quick glimpse into their life, some book recommendations, and maybe a snippet of their upcoming book. Instead, all of these newsletters had paragraphs about Political Issue. Jason Huff seeks to challenge cringepost motives: What is difficult about social media in general is that most posts about politics aren’t about determining a side or discussing a moral issue but virtue signaling. It doesn’t matter if the viewpoint is left, center, right, or even a pox on all the houses. Most of the time, political posts are subtly saying, “I am a good and moral person for speaking out on X issue.” This is not usually the direct and overt intention, but it’s still there on another level. When I say virtue signaling, I’m not saying that they aren’t actually morally correct in their address, but that there usually isn’t a lot at stake in doing so. Most people live, work, and play with people much like them, and they post things their friend pool is going to agree with. And so, when posting anything political, the question has to be, “What is the reason to be posting this?” It’s usually not to inform, because I’d say anyone aware of news right now has heard about Minneapolis. It’s to give a viewpoint. But unless you live in that area, does it affect your daily life right now? Not so much. The stakes are small. So when I see authors and other creatives I follow giving political opinions, I generally tune out. I’m not there for that. I’m more interested in how you’re living out that belief, whether helping a local legal refugee family or befriending your local police force or however that issue plays out in your everyday life. Peter Schott wants to re-hinge certain friends: Personally, I have a couple of acquaintances who I disagree with politically. On some things, we can just discuss and let it go. In others – the posts are just unhinged. I just mute/snooze the guy for 30 days. There was someone else who just went off the deep end – almost everything posted was hateful, cussing, and such. That earned a permanent block. It was sad to see someone go that far off the beaten path. I did have one friend who started calling his own friends Nazis and such because they disagreed with him on politics – maybe 10 years ago. I called him out on that as a Christian brother and he was able to realize that he’d gotten a little too far down the path and took a break (and backed off). Janie Brooks feels betrayed by political cringeposts: “When your favorite authors suddenly post hot takes about the latest controversial headlines or violent acts, how do you feel?” Startled. Annoyed. Betrayed. Hurt. Saddened. Startled because the author doesn't usually throw their hat into the political fray. Annoyed because there are so many more topics to discuss. Annoyed because Instagram or Facebook is my escape from the constant barrage of never-ending political opinions and current events. Betrayed because I thought I knew who they were. Betrayed because they've shown me a side of themselves that goes against how they've always acted. Hurt because they've broken my trust. Hurt because my loyalty is hard to gain and I've been blindsided by their vitriol. Saddened because there are so many other topics in which I agree with them, but now I am anathema because of my politics. 3. Your hosts’ own political-posting rules E. Stephen Burnett's top ten guidelines: Basically, don't. Don't post about politics. But if you do, don't suppose you're “above politics.” And discern what that term “politics” actually means. Carefully curate post subjects based on deeper reasons. Be timely, yet beware the PETs, or Political Emotion Traps. Stick with big themes that support your mission and novels. Avoid the great sins of slander and casting false judgments. Always rejoice with the truth and do not spread false reports. For lesser-known topics, do not meddle in quarrels not your own. “Never be cruel, never be cowardly. Remember hate is always foolish, love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.” (Steven Moffat via the Twelfth Doctor, Doctor Who) Zackary Russell's social post standards: I don't want to wait until I “make it big” to say the truth. I don't talk about or reply to the posts of politicians. Certain cultural, moral, and spiritual topics will inevitably overlap with a certain politician. That's ok. I won't avoid those topics. I do not have to comment on everything nor defend everything a politician says or does. That way lies madness. I try to find people to agree with, but comment in a way that adds something new to the conversation. I am much more focused on the world of ideas, because ultimately that's what we are battling. Not the flesh and blood conveyors of those ideas. There is significant overlap between the battle of ideas and shaping moral imagination through stories. Although the former is reactive whereas the latter is proactive. I don't believe in cultural pacifism, but I do pick my battles carefully. I also recognize that God calls people to directly take part in the political sphere. Same as he gives other callings. I simply have a different calling as someone working in full-time ministry. But I also reject the practice of some Christians who put their heads in the sand when it comes to certain hot-button topics. Com station Top question for listeners How do authors gain and keep your trust with their social posts? Next on Fantastical Truth For most of our lives, Stephen and Zack have kept their eyes to the stars and wondering if NASA or anybody else will ever again get serious about launching ships up there. Now it seems that moment is upon us. Lord willing, next month's launch of Artemis II will drive new great leaps back to the Moon, not only to orbit or put down boots, but to put down roots. Meanwhile, private firms build reusable rockets and plan satellite networks while setting their sights on Mars. So what other science fictions will come true in reality? Join us to discern and celebrate the God-exalting glories of human spaceflight to faraway lands for this landmark 300th episode of Lorehaven's Fantastical Truth.

Vesper's new efficiency as Guildmaster is interrupted when his deputy Odo completes an investigation into Karch's letter and what it could mean. What begins as a routine accounting review explodes into a shocking revelation: the Craft Guild isn't poor at all. Guildmaster Orion kept them impoverished through deception, hoarding wealth through paper transactions while claiming poverty. As Odo trembles with excitement over ledgers within ledgers, Vesper realizes the true scope of his predecessor's secret empire. An empire now under his control.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

Vesper receives his new Guildmaster's seal from Fran, a master artist whose work reveals the philosophy he wants for the entire guild. What appears as plain gold transforms into an impossibly detailed mark of authority—the Craft Tower rendered in microscopic perfection, surrounded by the symbols of every trade. But as Vesper admires the forgery-proof craftsmanship, he begins to question the structure Orion left behind. How many captains serve the guild? And more importantly, how many should there be under his new leadership?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

While Ralan fears revealing Pietro's magical secrets, Rebecca insists her adoptive father only cares about resources, not power.

Vesper dons the yellow cloak of Guildmaster and ventures into the streets of Ness to consolidate his power. In the Warehouse District, Thief Captain Kalos demands to know where Vesper's true allegiance lies—with the Thieves Guild or the Craft Guild. The answer could determine whether Vesper gains an ally or creates a dangerous enemy. Later, in the Flats, Vesper faces a different challenge: a tavern full of guild members who fall silent at his arrival, unwilling to voice their complaints to the former guild blade who now commands them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

With Orion and Bertram dead, the Craft Guild teeters on the edge of chaos. Vesper takes his first steps as Guildmaster, walking the Craft Tower complex to assess its defenses and finding them dangerously inadequate. When he observes Sergeant Lann drilling recruits with uncommon skill and authority, Vesper sees an opportunity to secure the tower's defenses. But promoting a young sergeant to Captain is only the first piece of rebuilding the guild's fractured leadership. With the tower's military command established, Vesper must now find someone to help him manage the sprawling guild—a task he knows he's wholly unqualified to handle alone.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

Without a guild seal means the former assassin must personally deliver every order, settle every dispute, and walk every mile across the city himself.

Rogers approaches Coode, the Captain of the Old Quarter, with a calculated pitch to undermine Ralan's leadership. In the Old Quarter's warehouse district, he watches Coode efficiently rebuild the fire-ravaged city—housing refugees, organizing supplies, doing the real work while Ralan basks in glory far away.

Vesper settles into the surprisingly comfortable Guildmaster's chair and begins issuing his first orders—starting with fulfilling his promise to Havor by increasing rations for the craftsmen. But when he reaches for the wax to seal his decree, Vesper realizes a critical piece is missing. The Guild Seal—the ring that legitimizes every Guildmaster's authority—is nowhere to be found.

As morning light filters through Zavier's humble hut, Rogers transforms righteous anger into calculated action. The plan: bypass the Guildmaster entirely and call a council of Captains instead.

Rogers ventures beyond the city walls to meet Zavier, the Captain of the Fields—an isolated, aging guild officer starved for information from the Tower. Over sour cider and half-truths, Rogers carefully manipulates the old captain's frustrations, painting Ralan as a chaotic, incompetent leader while casting himself as the guild's true savior during the crisis. He omits crucial details about why communication ceased, weaponizing Zavier's isolation against the absent Guildmaster.

Member removal of accounts that haven't logged in for a year or more also was completed and we have plenty of room for growth, so we kept the two recruiting co-guilds, Libertas and Fortuna, open for another month. The consolidation on the alliance side and culling of accounts also left us with plenty of room for growth. It feels so much better to login and see so many others in guild playing. We encourage those who haven't made the migration to please do so, and don't be shy. If you need help, officers are here for you. We get it, it can be scary to hit the /gquit, but I think you will like rejoining an active co-guild. Alliance side MFN raid team HFO is 7/8 on normal and working on the dance with Demensius. Noob Raid ran Firelands for the Timewalking quest, with thanks to Ashayo for getting a skip on the (again) bugged Lord Rhyolith. Ragnaros was troublesome but we took him down eventually, then hopped over to the new Raid, Manaforge Omega to defeat first boss, Plexis Sentinel on Normal. Kiddie Aggro has feasted upon Nexus King Saladbar and are now 7/8 Heroic in Manaforge Omega. Next stop: Dimensius. Surely our bestie Xal-Atath will reward us well for his demise this time? Raid Team Dungeoneering INC has advanced to 4/8 Heroic with successful kills of Loomithar, Soulbinder and Forgeweaver. Raid team So Let's Go Skating got 3/8 heroic last week with a sub 1% best pull on Araz, they're going back in this evening for revenge! SWTOR AIE in swtor has a new Guild Master! Corley has passed the reigns on to Stask. Show them both some love! ‘Where's the Cantina' Operations Team is hosting a 16 man run of Terror From Beyond on Monday, September 8.
