In this episode Dr Natalie Lancer, with Professor Jonathan Passmore, Xenia Angevin and Kaveh Mir, discuss the realities of running your own coaching practice or working for a large, digital coaching platform. We cover the fundamental questions to help you consider how to find your clients, decide on a niche and philosophy and tap into different coaching markets. We explore: •    What counts more: coach expertise or experience? •    How can coaches be tactical and strategic when navigating the gig economy of coaching? •    How do you develop your own unique coaching identity in a business context? •    What do you want your day-to-day coaching life to look like? •    How has coaching evolved to where we are in the current coaching marketplace? •    What can a coach earn, as a novice or an expert, working for a large digital platform? •    How do you choose whether you want to work for a digital provider and which one? •    What are the selection criteria for coaches that digital platforms use?  •    What are the benefits and constraints when working with a digital coaching provider? •    What are the different roles a coaching psychologist can adopt as part of their portfolio? •    How can coaching become more inclusive as a profession? •    Why is coaching psychology a good second career? The digital coaching landscape is evolving and has arguably transformed coaching from a ‘cottage industry' to a global, scalable enterprise. We query whether coaching education needs to be updated and how coaching standards can be maintained and measured to reflect this new context.

With In and Out of This World: Material and Extraterrestrial Bodies in the Nation of Islam (Duke University Press, 2022), Stephen C. Finley, Inaugural Chair, Department of African and African American Studies at Louisiana State University, examines the religious practices and discourses that have shaped the Nation of Islam (NOI) in America. Drawing on the speeches and writing of figures such as Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Warith Deen Mohammad, and Louis Farrakhan, Finley shows that the Nation of Islam and its leaders used multiple religious symbols, rituals, and mythologies meant to recast the meaning of the cosmos and create new transcendent and immanent black bodies whose meaning cannot be reduced to products of racism. Whether examining how the myth of Yakub helped Elijah Muhammad explain the violence directed at black bodies, how Malcolm X made black bodies in the Nation of Islam publicly visible, or the ways Farrakhan's discourses on his experiences with the Mother Wheel UFO organize his interpretation of black bodies, Finley demonstrates that the Nation of Islam intended to retrieve, reclaim, and reform black bodies in a context of antiblack violence. In our conversation we discussed the theoretical framework of In- or Out-of-place, the body as both as social and symbolic, Nation of Islam mythological and cosmological narratives , Elijah Muhammad's theological vision for African Americans, Malcolm X' focus on civil and human rights movements, Warith Deen Mohammed's notions of race, the identity of “Bilalians,” Louis Farrakhan's mystical extraterrestrial experiences, and women's embodiment in the Nation of Islam.

In our conversation we discussed the theoretical framework of In- or Out-of-place, the body as both as social and symbolic, Nation of Islam mythological and cosmological narratives , Elijah Muhammad's theological vision for African Americans, Malcolm X' focus on civil and human rights movements, Warith Deen Mohammed's notions of race, the identity of “Bilalians,” Louis Farrakhan's mystical extraterrestrial experiences, and women's embodiment in the Nation of Islam.

That is the mark of the epidemiologist."   Tune in to this episode to hear more about Catherine's: Approach to her career, with a renewed value placed upon work-life balance, and her commitment to modelling this for her team; Insightful reflections on her experience of the pandemic as a frontline epidemiologist – from preparation to the manifestation of a COVID reality; Expert analysis on Australia's COVID response; and  Perspective on how personal setbacks have equipped her with a rare professional skillset needed in today's world.     Investing for Life is hosted by Douglas Isles, Platinum Asset Management.Disclaimer: Issued by Platinum Investment Management Limited ABN 25 063 565 006, AFSL 221935.

In our new season Democracy in Peril–launching Wednesday April 20, 2022 – we will examine the efforts playing out at the state, local, and federal levels of our government to thwart the will of the people and chip away at the democratic foundations of the country. This campaign has created a test of moral conscience and faith. You will hear conversations with people who are working tirelessly to support the voting rights of all people; to counter the despotic efforts of aspiring autocrats and the minority of Americans who support them; andto expose and challenge the ideology and false religion of white Christian nationalism that is at the root of this crisis. Faith and Justice are the twin pillars that support and sustain advocacy for marginalized communities and for the moral dimensions of civic spirituality. Through honest debate and careful discernment, we hope to provide you with the tools needed to join us in our efforts to raise our nation to its lofty – but yet unrealized – ideals of Justice, freedom, and liberty for all. We are seeking your support to help spread the message of The Soul of the Nation and invite your communities to subscribe, rate, and review this podcast…..Blessings to you for The Soul of the Nation.

We are at a time of unprecedented upheaval and none is more affected, around the world, than women and women of color.  On the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Platform of Action, in the very year that we were meant to honor and redouble our commitment to gender equity, even the limited gains of the last two decades hazard being swiftly and summarily rolled back.  Here to discuss why these inequalities are so critical to redress is (my and) a #shero of global proportions: the Honorable Julia Gillard, Australia’s 27th Prime Minister and Leader of the Labor Party, from 2010 to 2013. To this day, Julia is the first and only woman to have served as Australia’s Prime Minister. She is the Inaugural Chair of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College, London; Chair of Australia’s leading mental health awareness organization, Beyond Blue; Chair of the Global Partnership for Education; Patron of Camfed, the Campaign for Female Education; and, just announced, Chair-elect of the Wellcome Trust.

William McDonough is a globally recognised leader in sustainable development. His books Cradle to Cradle: Rethinking the Way we Make Things, co-authored with chemist Michael Braungart and followed up in 2013 by The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability – Designing for Abundance, are seminal texts in the circular economy movement. Originally trained as an architect, McDonough firmly believes that design signals human intentions and is thus crucial to shaping a sustainable and inclusive future. Through biomimicry, McDonough believes we can design products as services and emulate closed loop material cycles, so that materials, buildings, companies and communities continuously improve over time. McDonough brings his vision of a sustainable future characterised by abundance to commercial and government leaders worldwide through his consultancy McDonough Innovation. He remains active with his architectural practice William McDonough + Partners, as well as MBDC, the Cradle to Cradle consulting firm. He also co-founded two not-for-profit organizations to allow public accessibility to Cradle to Cradle thinking: GreenBlue and the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. He has previously served as the Inaugural Chair of the World Economic Forum's MetaCouncil on the Circular Economy and currently serves on the Forum's Global Future Council on the Future of Environment and Natural Resource Security. In this inspiring interview, McDonough discusses the concept of Cradle-to-Cradle, notably how reusable and durable cycles benefit the biosphere and future generations. Successful examples of circular economies already exist and McDonough outlines how Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer, generates 85 percent of their revenue from by cradle-to-cradle products. The benefits in savings coupled with new forms of customer engagement demonstrate that such circular economies are financially viable and of interest to companies around the world. McDonough also outlines the certification schemes that underpin Cradle-to-Cradle and the importance of expanding consumer awareness. We see flashes of his creative brilliance, such as his views on the ocean plastic crisis and vision of restorative solar farms. He also touches on the path ahead by discussing how finance is limited by its dependence on destructive industries, such as fossil fuels, and the role of government in driving change by benchmarking best practice. He finishes by sharing his optimism for the future, stating he primarily designs for eight year olds, as children have a natural grasp of the wonder of nature and desirability of sustainable design. The post Episode 41: Interview with William McDonough on the Cradle to Cradle economy appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.
