"You don't ever need to get up there and feel like, I got this." That's DOE Jones on leading worship, and she means it as a good thing. She grew up a pastor's kid, earned Grammy nominations with her family group Forever Jones, spent 12 years in youth ministry, and just made a record called Shiloh with three generations of her family on it. In this conversation she unpacks what she calls posturing yourself like a landing strip: the space between having prepared hard and still asking God mid-set if he wants to change direction, while the click is in your ear and your MD is cracking jokes. She also names the thing most of us won't say out loud, that quiet pull to build a worship culture where everyone looks and thinks like you. And she asks who picked up the baton Israel Houghton left, plus how to tell real cultural bridge-building from borrowing a sound because it's popular right now. Preparation is what buys you the freedom to actually listen mid-song.

Welcome back to Good Morning BSS World podcast!What does it take to lead large, international and multicultural organizations effectively? In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I talk with Peter Ochman, Executive Advisor to Boards and Executive Leadership Teams, about global leadership, transformation, cultural diversity and the human side of running international businesses.Born in Poland and raised in Australia, Peter has built a global career working with large organizations across technology, banking, insurance, consulting and other industries. His experience includes leading complex transformations and international teams across Europe, Asia and other regions.The conversation explores the real challenges of managing multicultural and multinational teams. How should leaders deal with different communication styles, cultural expectations and approaches to hierarchy? How can organizations build trust, respect and integrity across borders? And what can leaders do when cultural differences create misunderstandings or conflict?Peter also shares practical examples from his global leadership experience, including working with teams in countries such as South Korea, Kenya, Japan, Germany and Poland. One of the key messages is that diversity should not simply be tolerated, it can make organizations stronger, more adaptable and better prepared for change.We also discuss leadership development, talent, AI and the future of work. Peter explains why leaders should focus less on the technology itself and more on the business impact technology can create. His advice for emerging leaders is equally practical: surround yourself with great people, embrace opportunities before you feel completely ready, hire for potential and stay curious.A conversation about global business leadership, transformation, multicultural teams, diversity, trust and the human impact of technology.Links:Peter Ochman on Linkedin – https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-ochman/ **************************** My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

You don't have one type of parent in your school. You have three, four, maybe five. And if your marketing, your website, and your enrollment tours are all speaking to the same imaginary "average" parent, that's exactly why some of your best families are scrolling right past you.In this episode, Chanie breaks down the Parent Archetype framework, a structured way to figure out who is actually enrolling in your center, what they care about, and how to stop guessing at your marketing and start speaking directly to the families in front of you.This is the enrollment conversation most schools skip. Everyone wants to talk about Facebook ads, website redesigns, and getting more Google reviews. Chanie makes the case that none of that works until you understand the data underneath it: who your parents actually are, what they actually value, and why they actually choose you. Whether you're short on enrollment, sitting on a full waitlist, or just want a marketing strategy that finally makes sense, this episode gives you the foundation everything else is built on.What You'll LearnWhy enrollment is "the lifeblood of your business" no matter what season you're inThe five data collection methods to understand your actual parent population (not who you assume they are)The exact demographic categories to track, from family structure to decision-making styleWhy online reviews mean almost nothing to certain parent avatars, and everything to othersFive real parent archetypes Chanie uses with clients: Career-Focused, Highly Involved, First-Time, Multicultural, and Grandparent GuardianHow to validate your avatars once you've built themWhy throwing money at Facebook ads won't fix an enrollment problem rooted in bad messagingConnect With Us:Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/

Belonging is a word we hear a lot in HR, but usually among people who share a language, a culture, a hometown. Now picture a workforce where almost everyone has come from somewhere else, often far from home. There, belonging isn't a survey metric, it's what decides whether someone just works for you, or truly stays and gives you their best. And nowhere is that more real than in the Gulf. So, let's explore what it takes to build belonging across a multicultural workforce with Manjeet Sahota, Human Resources Director at Gulf Catering and Support Services.

Today, my guest is Mais Fatayer, a learning designer, educator and researcher whose professional journey has taken her from computer science and software engineering to teaching, higher education, open education and learning design. In this episode, Mais reflects on how a love of mathematics, problem solving and art shaped her early career decisions. Mais shares how studying computer science led to teaching, and how her experiences as both a student and educator revealed the profound difference that thoughtful teaching and learning design can make. We explore Mais' transition from programming computers to designing meaningful learning experiences. Our conversation centres on the world of open education. Mais explains what open educational resources are, how Creative Commons licensing works, and why making high-quality educational materials openly available has the potential to transform learning for students, teachers and institutions. Mais also shares insights from her doctoral research, demonstrating how student assessment can be redesigned to create valuable resources that continue to benefit future learners long after a course has finished. We also chat about the evolving role of learning designers in higher education. Mais emphasises the importance of collaboration between academics, librarians and learning design teams, and how emerging technologies such as generative AI present new opportunities to make education more accessible, sustainable and equitable.

In this podcast, SBS Serbian contributor Nina Markovic speaks with Carlo Krikowa, Director of Policy and Programs at the Multicultural Health Collaborative, about the challenges and opportunities in multicultural health advocacy in Australia. The conversation explores why culturally and linguistically diverse communities remain underrepresented in health research and policy, despite making up nearly one-third of Australia's population. Carlo discusses the importance of culturally appropriate health communication, community engagement, and stronger collaboration across the multicultural sector. He also reflects on barriers such as language, trust, and cultural stigma, the role of lived experience in shaping health policy, and the opportunities—and limitations—of artificial intelligence in supporting community health. The interview concludes with an invitation for individuals and organisations to engage with the Collaborative and help strengthen multicultural health advocacy across Australia. - У овом интервјуу на енглском језику са Карлом Криковим (Carlo Krikowa), директором за политику и програме у организацији Multicultural Health Collaborative", Нина Марковић разговара о изазовима са којима се суочавају културно и језички разнолике заједнице — од недостатка финансирања и заступљености, до језичких баријера, културних разлика и питања поверења. Карло објашњава зашто су разговор са заједницом, подаци и лично искуство људи кључни за креирање бољих здравствених политика, као и зашто непрофитне организације представљају важан „глас заједнице“ у разговору са владом.For more stories, interviews, and news from SBS SERBIAN, explore our podcast collection here. - For more stories, interviews, and news from SBS SERBIAN, explore our podcast collection here.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus and co-organizer of AI roundtables with EcoCivilization. The conversation covers a wide range of AI-related topics, from the cultural implications of AI development across different countries to the evolution of Ekaterina's perspective on artificial intelligence—moving from initial anger and fear in 2023 to active participation in AI model design by 2025. They discuss the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives in AI training, the cross-country differences in AI regulation (comparing Argentina's human-out-of-the-loop approach to Europe's cautious stance), and the critical question of which sectors need humans in the decision-making loop. The discussion ventures into brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink, examining what happens when technology is removed and questioning whether healthy humans should pursue such enhancements, before touching on the future of personal AI models and the preservation of indigenous wisdom in AI training. You can connect with Ekaterina on LinkedIn to follow her work on AI, education, and cross-cultural technology development.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus, discussing her work organizing AI roundtables with EcoCivilization05:00 Ekaterina shares her evolution from anger toward AI in 2023 to realizing collaboration potential, emphasizing importance of multicultural perspectives in AI development and training10:00 Discussion of Argentina's new AI liability bill creating human-out-of-loop systems, contrasting with Europe's human-in-loop requirements and different global regulatory approaches15:00 Safety considerations in robotics and AI development, comparing industrial automation standards across regions and discussing Pentagon's use of Anthropic with Palantir systems20:00 Exploring brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink developments, questioning enhancement versus necessity and examining motivations behind cognitive augmentation technologies25:00 Debating human capabilities beyond cognitive function, discussing nervous system, emotions, psychosomatics, and whether brain generates or receives thoughts30:00 Examining societal divisions from enhancement technologies, referencing Avatar and Years and Years series, questioning benefits for healthy individuals versus disability applications35:00 Discussing technological gaps between enhanced and standard populations, concerns about corporate seduction into cybernetic modifications, and lack of long-term safety studies40:00 Questioning who frames AI conversations and trains models, exploring dominant worldviews embedded in AI systems and Vatican-Anthropic collaboration implications45:00 Stewart shares mistakes with Facebook biometric data and building personal AI infrastructure, emphasizing importance of controlling your own models and data50:00 Analyzing whether massive data collection actually improves AI training, questioning if user conversations become buried garbage rather than meaningful model improvements55:00 Ekaterina discusses plans for organizing more roundtables, integrating indigenous wisdom into AI training, and connecting on LinkedIn for future collaborationsKey Insights1. Ekaterina Matveeva's perspective on AI has evolved significantly since 2023, moving from initial anger and fear about AI's impact on education and translation work to becoming actively involved in AI development and training. She realized that instead of resisting AI advancement, she could participate in shaping it by contributing her expertise in education, language, and cross-cultural communication. This shift represents a broader realization that diverse participation in AI development is crucial for creating more versatile and culturally sensitive models rather than allowing a monopoly of values from any single country or culture.2. The conversation highlights fundamental differences in AI regulation across regions, with Europe implementing human-in-the-loop requirements and comprehensive safety measures, while Argentina is reportedly creating frameworks for human-out-of-the-loop AI systems with limited liability. The United States falls somewhere between these approaches, pursuing rapid advancement with fewer regulatory constraints. These divergent approaches reflect different cultural values and priorities, raising important questions about whether AI development should prioritize efficiency and profit or human oversight and control in critical infrastructure sectors.3. Both speakers express concern about brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, questioning the motivation behind enhancing cognitive abilities when humans already possess multiple forms of intelligence including emotional, cultural, and bodily intelligence. The primary applications demonstrated so far appear limited to video games and potentially military applications, raising questions about whether the technology serves genuine human needs or merely represents an attempt to compete with robots. The speakers emphasize that humans are already complete beings with sophisticated nervous systems, senses, and capabilities that extend far beyond cognitive processing.4. A critical insight emerges around the question of what happens when advanced technologies are removed or turned off. This applies both to brain-computer interfaces and to broader civilization infrastructure dependencies. The speaker shares experiences from 2020 of attempting to live independently in rural California, discovering the challenges of isolation and self-sufficiency. This relates directly to concerns about creating dependencies on technologies where the software ownership and control remain unclear, particularly when those technologies become integrated into human bodies or essential services.5. The discussion reveals concerns about increasing societal division based on access to enhancement technologies. Beyond existing financial inequalities, the speakers worry about a future where people who can afford biological and technological enhancements will advance rapidly while others are left behind. This isn't about disadvantaging certain groups but rather about creating an unbridgeable gap between enhanced early adopters and what they call standard populations who may be intelligent people maintaining traditional ways of life but lacking access to expensive enhancement technologies.6. Matveeva emphasizes the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives, particularly indigenous wisdom and Buddhist traditions, in AI training data. She argues that current AI models reflect the worldviews, values, and hierarchies of their predominantly Western designers, which influences the guidance these models provide to users worldwide. By incorporating wisdom traditions from various cultures, AI models could potentially become wiser and more culturally adaptive, serving diverse populations more effectively rather than imposing a single cultural framework globally.7. The speakers discuss the problematic nature of data collection and ownership in AI training, noting that massive amounts of user data may not actually be improving AI models as expected. There are indications that some AI companies are now specifically requesting users to help train models on their prompts, suggesting that simply collecting billions of conversations hasn't been as useful as anticipated. This raises questions about whether the data users have given away over the past several years has actually made significant impact or is simply buried in chunks of information that aren't effectively connected to meaningful improvements in AI performance.

Another day and the migrants are back out on the street proving that diversity is and always will be our greatest strength.Wait, you mean pleasuring yourself on a public beach isn't acceptable behavior? They just can't help but be awful. Congress has gotten together and passed a bill that might actually benefit American citizens. The catch: Trump is holding off on signing it in order to get the SAVE Act passed. Bold strategy. We'll see if it pays off.

In her first address to the National Press Club during her 30-year political career, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson criticised multiculturalism and argued that Australia should be viewed as a monocultural but multiracial society. Her remarks drew criticism from those who said they undermine decades of migrant contributions to Australian society, while others questioned what a single national culture would look like in a diverse country like Australia. What is a monocultural society, and how do members of the Punjabi community across Australia view the debate?

"One of the first things that jumped out at me about this recording was the sheer joy it conveyed, slight warts & all. I love the off note in the initial section of the piece, and started off with the notion of taking that discordance & slowly bringing it into harmony. That was stymied however, by initial processing of the discordant note resulting in something beautiful."The other striking aspect of the recording is that although the brass band is the main focus here, at points extraneous sounds - conversation, handling noise, wind - end up louder than it. I wanted to extend that experience, and deliberately hide the delightful main point of focus behind other sounds which might or might not match or harmonise."To this end, I extracted and processed lots of sound from the recording, added some synthesiser lines & extra percussion, and arranged to taste."Multicultural celebration parade in Oslo reimagined by Andrew Tulloch.

Weddings are about bringing together two people. And those people often bring with them their own families, cultures, languages, customs, religions, traditions and more! So how do you fuse those things together into one cohesive wedding? How do you honour your Japanese culture and your partner's Spanish culture? Do you do your ceremony in Italian or Swahili? Do you serve paella or fried rice? Do you wear a sari or a kilt? In today's episode, I'm giving my thoughts on how you can plan a bilingual, multi-cultural wedding that feels cohesive and inclusive. It's not about making sure all of your cultures/traditions are represented 100% of the time, rather it's about choosing meaningful moments to honour your new family and your family of origin. Listen in as I share ideas for how to incorporate multiple cultures at your ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, before and after your wedding! Have a wedding planning question or episode idea?

Modern marketing is changing faster than many brands are prepared for. Multicultural, multigenerational, and other underrepresented communities are increasingly driving category growth — yet many brands are still using outdated marketing playbooks that weren't built to serve those customers well. In this episode, Sonia Thompson introduces the Growth Readiness Map — a modern marketing framework designed to help brands identify where they are today, why some brands see growth compound while others fall behind, and what foundational work needs to happen before identity-relevant growth can scale successfully. You'll learn: The difference between general-market and identity-relevant marketing Why many brands are activating before they're organizationally ready The four stages of the Growth Readiness Map: Default, Build, Gamble, and Compounding Why some brands build trust with growth communities — while others create friction without realizing it How customer friction quietly limits growth, loyalty, and marketing ROI Why the most important growth work often happens behind the scenes before campaigns ever launch How modern brands can build the trust and customer intimacy required for sustained, compounding growth This episode is for CMOs, brand leaders, growth marketers, agency leaders, and business strategists trying to understand what modern marketing actually requires in a market increasingly shaped by growth communities. Because the brands that win aren't just doing more marketing. They're doing the right work in the right order. Get in touch with Sonia: sonia@soniaethompson.com
