Podcasts about metaskills

Minter Dialogue with Marty Neumeier To start off this new year, and just before I get back into the swing of brand new episodes for 2024, I wanted to re-release this wonderful conversation with Marty Neumeier (MDE314). Where so many people are needing to have a sense of belonging and find meaningfulness, working for a meaningful brand is one way to find fulfilment. Marty is a world recognised expert on branding, best-selling author of books such as The Brand Gap, The Brand Flip and MetaSkills. At the time of recording this interview, he had recently published a ‘business thriller' called, "Scramble, How agile strategy can build epic brands in record time." He's also director and CEO of the Liquid branding agency. In this conversation with Marty, we talked about the importance of having a designer mindset in business and the challenge of building a superior brand in today's tech-infused world.

My guest today is Efu Nyaki, a healer born and raised in Tanzania who works internationally facilitating trainings and workshops on trauma healing. I first heard about Efu through my friends, Patricia Petersen and Thérèse Cator who were each members of the inaugural BIPOC-only cohort of Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioner trainings. They recently graduated from that multiyear program and I couldn't be more delighted to congratulate them on this tremendously wonderful achievement!

Wow, this is a juicy one. My dear friend, Thérèse Cator, is back on the show in this special replay of a session we co-led as a warm-up event for my Witches New Year Gathering happening on October 28, 2023. Thérèse Cator is a trauma-informed embodiment practitioner who specializes in helping people develop a connection to their bodies that promotes wellness and healing. Cator's work provides an intersectional and decolonial lens that is rare in an overwhelmingly white and ableist somatics field. Thérèse is also the founder of Embodied Black Girl, a global community that stands for the embodied liberation of Black women and femmes and women of color everywhere. Embodied Black Girl is devoted to creating a safe space for to heal from intergenerational trauma, racialized stress and colonial conditioning in service of our individual and collective liberation and healing. Thérèse has been featured in Forbes and MindBodyGreen, and she has delivered workshops to major tech companies while maintaining her focus on Black women's and femmes' health. We've been friends since 2017 and over the years have been in trainings together as students, as well as co-facilitated and collaborated on projects. We often independently come up with new directions we want to take with our work, only to find the other was planning the exact same thing. And that's what happened here! We are each offering facilitator trainings in 2024 and we're here to give some insight into our shared philosophical approach.

A metaSkill is the attitude, stance, philosophy, or “come from” place that both the leader and team members stand in when doing this work. The intentional use of MetaSkills provides an invaluable skillset that can improve overall performance and connectivity. MetaSkills are like rooms that can be stepped into, which then ‘perfume' the work.  Kerry Woodcock leads change for a world of change, by both holding and challenging leaders, organizations and social systems to amplify the power of relationship—for it is powerful relationship that creates meaningful change.

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang's expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 77, Molly's first caller, Kathy, is keen to understand “metaskills”—your intentional energy or vibe—that impact how people perceive you, and how work gets done. Next, Kevin calls in about how to respond when asked for his thoughts on working from home and “how would you like to work going forward?” He also asks about a personal dilemma around preserving friendships when politically polarized and neither side appears to value diversity (11:40). Then Ed, who's in charge of security and safety for a retail-based organization, asks about how best to have sensitive conversations with store staff to alert him if they sense any risk of workplace violence (32:25). Lastly, Cathy raises an observation of unconscious bias and asks for ways to approach a professor when they unintentionally may have offended a bunch of folks (41:40). Molly closes by encouraging parents that it's never too early to help our youths find their voices – using an example of how a teenager making a food delivery might respond to an irate customer (50:55). Molly's thought for the week, from tennis pro Jorge Capestany: There's no failure… there's only feedback. Tune in and learn how to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.

Marty Neumeier is a best-selling author and speaker who writes on topics of brand and design. Today Marty spends most of his time lecturing all over the globe about the role of creativity and innovation in the creation of relevant and meaningful brand experiences.  Marty has written several best-selling books including The Brand Gap which outlines how to bridge the distance between business strategy and design; ZAG which introduces “onliness” as the true test of a brand strategy; and The Designful Company which offers leaders a blueprint for building a culture of innovation through design thinking. ZAG was named one the “100 Best Business Books of All Time.” In 2013, Marty published Metaskills: Five Talents for the Robotic Age, a deep dive into the future of workplace creativity. He then wrote The 46 Rules of Genius as a “quickstart guide” to “Metaskills.” His latest book The Brand Flip is the long-awaited sequel to The Brand Gap. It offers a simple formula for addressing the changes brought by social media and the rising power of customers. Marty was also commissioned by Google Brand Lab to write the Dictionary of Brand, a relational glossary containing 500 interconnected terms in brand strategy, advertising, design, innovation and management. The Dictionary of Brand is the first step in creating a “linguistic foundation” -- a set of terms that allow specialists from different disciplines to work together in a larger community of practice. When Marty is not lecturing or writing, he is facilitating inspirational workshops or providing consulting services to companies the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Skype, Twitter and Patagonia. In this Podcast, Allan and Marty talk about the difference between brand and personality, which skills make up the best leader, the importance of empathy and the power of a well-written email. For more show notes, visit www.allanmckay.com/292/.

Neumeier believes that the metaskills we need in a post-industrial economy are feeling (intuition and empathy), seeing (systems thinking), dreaming (applied imagination), making (design), and learning (autodidactics). These are not the skills we were taught in school. Yet they're the skills we'll need to harness the curve. In explaining each of the metaskills, he offers encouragement and concrete advice for mastering their intricacies. At the end of the book, he lays out seven changes that education can make to foster these important talents.

In this episode, Marita Fridjhon and Katie Churchman are talking about reading and working with the emotional field, which is a key element of systems coaching. By closely tracking shifts in the emotional field we can start to reflect back and possibly shape the emotional climate in a given situation.You can think of it like an immediate weather report of what is happening emotionally in this moment. And just like a weather report, it’s not exact. There might be a 69% chance of rain, just in the same way you sense some awkwardness in the field. It’s subjective, ever-changing and can provide us with a lot of information. Alongside the emotional field, they discuss Metaskills, conscious intentionality, self-awareness and the intelligence of the body.

A educação adulta precisa ser reinventada. Enquanto a tecnologia avança e transforma todos os mercados e indústrias, surgem novas profissões e outras começam a deixar de existir. Quando a educação não acompanha este movimento, o resultado é um fenômeno conhecido mundialmente como skill gap, que é a diferença entre habilidades mais importantes para o mercado e aquelas que as pessoas possuem. Quem veio tomar um #CaféComigo hoje e falar sobre educação em tempos digitais, é o Leandro Herrera, Founder & CEO do TERA - uma nova escola para a economia digital. O episódio de hoje vai ser um convite à reflexão sobre como profissões estão mudando e a forma como a gente se relaciona com a educação e se capacita para alavancar a carreira precisa mudar também. *Dica de livro: MetaSkills - five talents for the robotic age ( autor: Marty Neumier) / Editora Kobo Editions * Sobre o Tera: www.somostera.com.br / @somostera --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dany-carvalho/message

Today I am speaking once again with Marty Neumeier. The last time we spoke it was on the topic of branding, a topic on which Marty is an internationally renown authority. He has written many books including Zag which was named one of the "top hundred business books of all time" for its insights into radical differentiation; and The Brand Gap, considered by many the foundational text for modern brand building. It fascinates me how often musicians are told to find a real job and that they will never be successful in terms of a career at their art. However, it seems that "real jobs" are less and less of a "real option" in today's economy as technology is taking over in what Marty is calling "the robotic age." We are certainly in the midst of of a shift into a new paradigm,and to find success in this new age we need to apply a different set of skills, Metaskills. And these skills are exactly what Marty's book is all about! Today's wide spread unemployment is not a jobs crisis, it's a talent crisis. Technology is taking every job that doesn't require a high level of creativity, humanity or leadership. These traits should be familiar to any successful artist as they are a big part of building a career in the new music industry. In today's interview we are going to talk about how these skills described in Marty's book can be applied to the careers of musicians and artists and we will be discussing the metaskills feeling, seeing, dreaming, making and learning. I love Marty's books and getting to talk to him once again is fascinating as well as enlightening. I know you will appreciate the insights that Marty shares! Aaron Bethune. Music Consultant. Creative Collaborator. For more information on Marty and his new book please visit: http://www.metaskillsbook.com
