When David Wright went to Iraq as an 18-year-old soldier - he had no idea the battlefield would become a place where he'd enter deep states of bliss. For decades, David remained silent about the intense joy he experienced alongside the horrors of war. Matthew Syed ponders the extraordinary possibility of experiencing joy while suffering and hears more about the remarkable potential of the brain to respond to trauma in unexpected ways. He discovers how others too, like actor Renu Arora, experienced something similar when she was hit by a bus - and considers how such stories might help us shift our perspective on pain. With ex-soldier David Wright, actor/singer/writer Renu Arora, neuroscientist Dr Andrew Newberg, Director of Research at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospital in Philadelphia and Dr Steve Taylor, lecturer at Leeds Beckett University in transpersonal psychology and author of the book Extraordinary Awakenings.

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews This week Vidar was reviewing a new version of Hans Christian Andersen's The Red Shoes by Playwright Nancy Harris at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Swan Theatre with description by Professional Audio Describers Ess Grange and Carolyn Smith. About The Red shoes: When an orphaned young woman is taken in by some local do-gooders, she is expected to be seen and not heard. Dazzled by a pair of beautiful shoes, she sees the chance to do and be so much more, but soon her feet betray her, taking her to places she does not wish to go. This Christmas, get up close to the magic as playwright Nancy Harris brings Hans Christian Andersen's dark fairy tale into the 21st century in the intimate surroundings of the Swan Theatre. Directed by Kimberley Rampersad (Associate Artistic Director of the Shaw Festival, Canada) in her RSC debut, The Red Shoes is both wickedly funny and a cautionary tale of pride, vanity and how we all deserve to dance how we wish to dance. There is another audio described performance of the Red Shoes on Saturday 28 December at 1pm and for more details about this and other described performances at the RSC do visit the access pages of their website - https://www.rsc.org.uk/your-visit/access You will also find out more about access at the Royal Shakespeare Company by visiting the following pages of their website - https://www.rsc.org.uk/your-visit/access (Image shows RNIB logo.

When we want to make a greater impact in a new leadership role, we know that initial impressions go a long way. It's why so many books have been written on the subject of what to do in the first 90 days of a leadership role. What do we need to know about the systems, policies, and cultural mechanisms that could either help or hurt us as news leaders? That's what we'll be discussing in this episode. Nancy Harris will share her New Leader change framework to help leaders get up to speed quickly and learn what they should take into account when working with leaders of diverse backgrounds. We'll also learn how women and underrepresented leaders need to know about what systems and policies could help or hurt their leadership or others they supervise. ***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Nancy Harris is an equity-centered Leadership Coach and People & Culture Advisor focused on helping mission-driven organizations advance and develop senior leaders.

Chat with actors Stephen Brennan and his daughter Kate Stanley Brennan about the family acting legacy and performing together on stage for the first time in the upcoming Abbey Theatre production ‘Somewhere Out There You' by Nancy Harris

Dr. Jackie Echols, president of the South River Watershed Alliance, joined me today to clear up any misconceptions given by Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens (on 'Politically Georgia' last week) that the city's answered environmental concerns when it comes to "Cop City." Spoiler alert: he wasn't being honest about that. She and I discuss that and review the many environment issues surrounding construction of the proposed public safety training facility. Nancy Harris, mayor of Duluth, Georgia, also joined me to spotlight her and her city's efforts to embrace social media and YouTube to better inform (and entertain!) residents - including her "Undercover Mayor" series. Lastly, Georgia Bulldog fans who were wrong - all along - about the Jake Fromm/Justin Fields debate need to see what having Fields on the NFL Chicago Bears' roster is doing for that franchise on and off the field.

Joel Ewert is a Prince George resident and Team Canada wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby athlete, who has a passion for education as he pursues his goal of becoming a cardiologist. Joel, who already completed his first degree in biomedical studies at the University of Northern British Columbia, is currently working on his second degree in First Nations studies as he tries to get into medical school. Born with cerebral palsy, Ewert was first introduced to wheelchair basketball by the Harris family in Prince George as a 5-year-old. Ewert met Pat, Avril and Nancy Harris at an event, and the family encouraged him to give wheelchair basketball a try. After nearly two years without meaningful competition due to the pandemic, Ewert had plenty of meaningful competition on the schedule this year. In addition to the U23 Worlds in Thailand, Ewert also represented Canada at the U23 Americas Zone qualifier and was part of Team BC's gold medal victory at the Junior National Championship in Charlottetown, P.E.I.

This Week's Good Vibes:The National Park Service (NPS) is working to incorporate more Black history into its storytelling about America. This includes considering the establishment of a Black Panther Party National Historical Park, and other new parks in locations related to civil rights, such as the 1964 murders of civil rights workers and the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till. The goal is to establish new national parks that facilitate conversations about race. I'm hopeful that all of these come to fruition so these stories continue to be heard and remembered. The North Face is fighting back against backlash from conservatives for partnering with drag queen Pattie Gonia to promote their "Summer of Pride" event. However, unlike other companies that have faced similar backlash, The North Face is standing by its brand partner and expressing support for LGBTQ+ equality. When other brands have backed down, this response is significant as it demonstrates a commitment to inclusion and sends a message to other businesses about the importance of embracing LGBTQ+ consumers and employees.Mexico has introduced a new policy allowing citizens to identify as nonbinary on their passports, with the option to select "X" as their gender marker. The U.S. and Canada already have this policy in place. This is significant as it demonstrates Mexico's progress in advancing LGBTQ+ rights and the acceptance of gender beyond the binary. The indigenous Muxe of Oaxaca live and are widely accepted in their “third gender.”Texas now has the CROWN Act. The CROWN Act (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) aims to protect individuals from discrimination based on their natural hair in workplaces, schools, and housing policies. This affects mostly Black and Brown folks who have dreadlocks, braids, twists, and other natural hair. These folks are often burdened with the white supremacy standard of "professional” hair. There are about 20 states with this protection.In a strange turnabout, another company which faced recent conservative backlash was Chik-Fil-A, when people realized the company had a Vice President of DEI. The irony is that the fast-food restaurant chain has a history of partnerships with anti-LGBTQ organizations and has been boycotted by many people like me, who love that chicken but go to Popeye's instead. The good news here is that (I hope) Chik-Fil-A is showing some commitment towards greater equity and inclusion…my hope is that it's not lip service, but they haven't released any statements.Call to Action:Read this article and photos about the trans joy on display at the Trans Youth Prom outside the U.S. Capitol building last week.To learn more about Nancy, visit: https://www.restartconsult.com/Read the full 5 Things here: https://www.theequalityinstitute.com/equality-insights-blog/pride-amp-joy Join thousands of readers by subscribing to the 5 Things newsletter.

“I always feel like a book is never done until it is in the hands of a reader that I do not know. And then and then we make a community of two.” Children's author Kate DiCamillo talks to playwright Nancy Harris about her inspiration – the “divine spark” that grew into The Magician's Elephant and how gifting a notebook to a friend led her to create the unique cast of characters. The two writers talk about their writing processes, and Kate shares exactly how many rejection letters she received. Each episode brings together current Royal Shakespeare Company actors with artists who have inspired them. The music is ‘Oberon's Theme – King of Shadows', originally composed by Sam Kenyon for A Midsummer Night's Dream (2016).

“I hope that you will join us as we embark on new things and focus on what's possible in the new year,” Nancy shares. “I want to thank everyone for your time, for sharing, for all that you do in terms of making the workplace more equitable, more inclusive and more just.”  In this week's show, host Nancy Harris wraps up the year with a special message to listeners, guests, and all contributors to The Intersection Podcast.

Sanctuary of Hope's Executive Director, Janet Kelly hosts Woke Moments. Conversation on issues and hot topics impacting young generations. April is national child abuse prevention month and our family experts will provide insights on supports needed for young family resiliency.

Some young people have hardly known what a consistent family life could be. They have spent much of their childhood and adolescence being shuffled from one foster family to another in a system allowing them to arrive at 18 years old unprepared for their future as an adult. Today, there is an organization that is taking on this challenge head on based in Los Angeles, California. Listen to the approach of the FAITH FOSTER FAMILY NETWORK (3FN)'s Executive Director, Nancy Harris, describing their program, and their advocacy for more mental health funding and for the ways the child welfare system, with its youth in foster care, needs to change.

In the olden days there were orphanages in the United States. Since the 1980s, in a major metropolis like Los Angeles, California, there has been a foster care system for children who are not growing up with a family member. This system has created its own problems with currently 30,000 youth under the charge of the Los Angeles County government. In 2017, arrived on the scene a new coalition, the Faith Foster Families Network (3FN), made up of six Black Churches and community organizations dedicated to improving the fostering of children and their outcomes for a better future life, addressing the fact that 80% or more of these children are Black and Brown. The Network's quest is to find and support loving foster families who provide a temporary setting or, if possible, may provide foster children with a permanent home which may lead to an adoption..

An imagined verbal battle between the first ladies of America and France is the premise of a play that's about to have its New Zealand premiere. Prize-winning Irish playwright Nancy Harris pits Sophia - an Eastern European model turned America's First Lady versus Hélène in Two Ladies. She says resemblances to Melania Trump and Brigitte Macron are no coincidence. Nancy can't be at the Auckland Theatre Company production, she's in lockdown in Ireland. Two Ladies has its New Zealand premiere at the ASB Waterfront Theatre on the 9th of February. Then it's on the road to Hamilton, Tauranga, New Plymouth and Hastings.

This week I'm speaking with Michele Steele, who is a bureau reporter at ESPN. She is heavily involved in the Special Olympics, even receiving some awards for her work. Seeing her father battle Parkinson's disease for over 20 years, gave Michelle a passion for inclusivity. She joins Nancy Harris to discuss the intersection of inclusivity and sports, media, and management. She shares what it's like being a woman in a male-dominated field of work. “Adaptability is an underrated skill [when in a male-dominated workplace],” she says, “you're always going to have to adapt to changing conditions.” You can find a link to Michele's talk here.  

In the earliest days of the show, Almost Live! was heavily influenced by a male viewpoint. A few actresses were introduced in those first years - Andy Stein and Lynne McManus - among them. But the show's first more regular female member got aboard largely because she happened to be the girlfriend of one the show's regular cast members - Joe Guppy. We'll spend some time with him in a future podcast. But this one is about Nancy - and whether she came in the backdoor, the front window or the skylight, once she arrived at ‘Almost Live!', the show was never the same. She was Nancy Harris when she grew up in Magnolia. She went to the U-Dub majoring in speech and communications. After meeting and marrying Joe Guppy, the two performed and wrote for "Almost Live!" for a couple of years before deciding in 1989 to move on to the bigger stages of Los Angeles. In 1992, they came back home, where Nancy eventually picked up again on "Almost Live" - this time without Joe. And this time, as not the only female on the show. She stayed with 'Almost Live!' for the remaining seven years of its run, riding it to the ground like a drunken rodeo performer. Nancy Guppy official sites Art Zone with Nancy Guppy | Facebook Nancy Guppy | IMDb Art Zone with Nancy Guppy | SeattleChannel.org Nancy Guppy (@nancyguppyART) | Twitter Since then, Nancy has been hanging out at the Seattle Channel, which is a channel in Seattle. She hosts a weekly culture show called 'Art Zone', which is like the old 'Twilight Zone' without the black and white and the twist endings. Today, she and Joe live in a tasteful condo, as quintessential Seattleites. They drive a hybrid - eat organic - work out - and recycle like crazy. The always busy, on-the-go Nancy happened to be at home the other day, when I took the opportunity to chat with her about those increasingly distant days of 'Almost Live!'

How much faith does it take to foster a youth in the city of Los Angeles and the South Bay? We're discussing with Nancy Harris and Grace Weltman faith and fostering during a pandemic for Foster Care Awareness Month.

Torin Ellis is the Principal of the Torin Ellis Brand. He is an author, and the host of Career Mix. Torin has done work with many organizations, helping them in the diversity, equity and inclusion space, in particular around employment recruitment branding. He joins Nancy Harris to discuss talent acquisition and improving D&I initiatives in this week's episode. Here are a few highlights from their conversation: Torin's experience in working with different companies showed him that representation decreased the higher up the chain of responsibilities and compensation you go. In 1919, Ford Motor Company was one of the first organizations to focus on hiring a diverse workforce. Too many individuals are hiding behind mediocrity and complacency wrapped up into a ribbon of excuses. The diversity and inclusion conversation in the workplace does not have to have a punitive tone. Improving diversity and inclusion comes down to will vs skill; if the desire is there, the efficiency can be sourced. Two major setbacks to improving diversity and inclusion are time and budget.  Tax classification, geographic location, and the industry of an organization are not excuses for neglecting to diversify the workforce. If you want to see change in your organization, you need to do things differently. Less excuses, more excitement, Resources Torin Ellis on LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter | SiriusXM

Irish playwright Nancy Harris joins Nadine O'Regan to talk about her life and work, including her plays The Beacon and Our New Girl, and her background, growing up as the child of two well-known journalists, Anne and Eoghan Harris, and her early move to Birmingham and then London to pursue her career. Motherhood, parenting and feminism are also discussed in the podcast -- as well as the question of whether being an artist can be incompatible with being a mother.

Dorri McWhorter, CEO of the YWCA Metropolitan Chicago, is this week's guest on The Intersection Podcast. Dorri describes herself as a socially conscious international business leader dedicated to improving the world. She chats with Nancy Harris about improving your workforce by recognizing the humanity of those around you. Here are a few highlights from their conversation: When she was 11, Dorri wrote a letter to Santa Claus asking him to make her parents allow her to be their accountant for a month. Dorri believes all businesses are social enterprises whether they know it or not.  At the YWCA Metropolitan Chicago, the heads of departments are given alternative names to cement their roles as cultivators of potential. Dorri's philosophy for running an ethical workplace is that all relationships an organization has with people should be consistent. An employee should have the same experience as a customer. Leaders need to find out if their employees feel they have done enough to make them feel included. Leaders should not rely on their perception of their impact. The YWCA Metropolitan Chicago came up with an acronym to represent their values: CARE (creativity, authenticity, respect, and excellence). Dorri views their initiatives to build a better workplace as “putting the human back in Human Resources.” If people are in your workforce then they are needed and should be valued.

Nancy Harris chats with Elena Valentine, CEO and co-founder of Skill Scout, an organization which specializes in talent acquisition and employer branding, about a more inclusive way to build your workforce. Here are a few highlights from their conversation: Elena is dedicated to looking past qualifications and sourcing talent in trendy ways: by media, which she calls the literacy of the 21st century. You cannot be what you cannot see, Elena says.  The idea for Skill Scout stemmed from Elena's and her colleague's realization that many youths and disenfranchised communities lacked access and exposure to job opportunities. “Production light” is a method Skill Scout uses to help companies attract more employees. By encouraging the employees to show their experiences via their own smartphones, they democratize the tools so more narratives can be shared. Elena quotes, “If you want to change the story, you must change the storyteller.” Elena shares some of the backlash she received from putting women of color at the center of her other business, Mezcla Media Collective. She explains that rather than being about diversity and access, the purpose of her decision was about equity. We have to look at our employees holistically, as more than just workers and as people with unique interests and families, Elena says. At the heart of diversity and inclusion is feeling like you belong. Resources SkillScout.com

Nancy Harris speaks with Huma Qazi, global diversity, equity and inclusion expert and founder of Huma Qazi Limited, a consulting firm which focuses on creating a more diverse and inclusive work environment. Nancy and Huma discuss opportunities and actions one can take to effect real transformation in the workplace. Here are a few highlights from their insightful conversation: Huma advises organizations how to implement strategies that build a more inclusive and cohesive work environment. The biggest challenge in creating an inclusive workplace is a lack of strategic alignment, Huma says. Huma defines impact as a lasting change that can be measured and recorded as data. A shift in perspective is not enough to create change. Huma says that altered behaviors are what makes lasting change happen, and they can be measured. Exercises intended to boost employees' awareness, while intellectual, must be practical and applicable. Nancy comments that Huma's consultation is meant to equip leaders with the capacity to engage and lead diverse teams. Diversity needs to be looked at with a wider lens than just gender splits and ethnicity splits. When you start looking at employees as unique individuals, you start to see the talent that the company has. Resources HumaQazi.com

Nancy Harris chats with Sandee Kastrul, President and co-founder of I.C. Stars, an innovative nonprofit leadership and development program that prepares inner-city youth for employment in the IT industry. Nancy and Sandee discuss how the I.C. Stars program challenges clients and the participants themselves to change their perceptions through fun and memorable experiences. Here are a few highlights from their inspiring conversation: The I.C.Stars program is not only a learning environment, but also creates a space for reflection through the daily high tea. A cornerstone of their culture, this daily ritual allows participants to reimagine their future. It's also a chief element of how the program changes perceptions about inner-city youth. Sandee says that the program flips the paradigm of the traditional charity model. It's about making opportunities for others, she says. The I.C.Stars program is at the intersection of social justice, leadership and community involvement. The other side of conflict is change.  When we embrace diversity and inclusion, we become more valuable as someone who can walk between worlds, Sandee says. We now have more ideas and innovations, and new ways to connect to our customers. The more you can create an experience for stakeholders, the greater the connection they feel to your organization, and the more they are willing to support the work you're doing. We should look at people for their potential versus their pedigree.  Adversity builds resilience, inside of which is reciprocity, critical thinking skills, creativity and chutzpah.  Resources ICStars.org

On The Intersection Podcast, host Nancy Harris and guests tackle the important issues of social justice, business and leadership, and how to bring them together to transform the workplace. In this first episode, Nancy's guest is Ivy Walker, CEO of Purpose Workforce Solutions. Ivy's company works with opportunity youth to not only place them in organizations, but also to create career pathways for them. She and Nancy talk about what it means to truly have an inclusive workplace, as well as the work Purpose Workforce Solutions is doing to disrupt the way we think about talent in the workplace. Here are a few highlights from their conversation: Opportunity youth are 18-24 year olds who are typically disconnected from work and school. Ivy's company provides one full year of post-placement coaching and wraparound supportive services for the youth they place. Young people are coming to the workplace to earn a living, but they're also bringing the challenges that they live every day with them. Ivy says her company helps them to reframe those challenges into strengths that could benefit them as well as the companies they work for. Diversity is inviting me to the dance; inclusion is asking me to dance when I'm there. Ivy asks clients to commit to providing real-time feedback “so that we can properly coach the youth that we place.” Nancy says that manager-employee relationships is one of the biggest challenges in HR. Companies need to invest in cultural awareness training. 80% of people go to work disengaged. Ivy shares some tips on how employee engagement can be improved. Funders do not have the risk appetite for investing in social ventures, Ivy explains, because the returns are not usually as tangible as investing in the technology space. Activity is the illusion of progress. Tackle difficult challenges by reframing the problem and working backwards, Ivy advises.

Eddie Bocanegra brings a unique perspective to the conversation about violence prevention and criminal justice reform. He argues that formerly incarcerated persons can and should be given the opportunity to rejoin the workforce, and with the proper support, they have the potential to be great contributors to society. A former offender himself, Eddie now heads one of the largest anti violence programs in the country, READI Chicago (Rapid Employment and Development Initiative). Eddie joins Nancy Harris in this episode of The Intersection Podcast and challenges listeners to create a workplace where we can bring in those who have been previously incarcerated. Here are a few highlights from their riveting conversation. Eddie shares his life story, including why he was sentenced to prison, and how he changed direction afterwards. Eddie wanted to change how society perceives people like him. He wanted to prove that “we're more than capable of exceeding and meeting our deliverables, given the right tools.” READI Chicago's mission is to serve those who are more likely to be a victim or offender of gun violence. Eddie describes the steps READI Chicago takes to support its clients to change negative behaviors and become more employable. Major progress has been made in the last two years. Eddie says that some hospitals and banks are now employing the formerly incarcerated. Companies should train their staff to be trauma informed. When you hire someone who was formerly incarcerated, and pay them well, you get a high return in terms of less turnover, and a longer commitment, Eddie says.  Nancy comments that there is a lot of untapped talent out there, but are we willing to do the work? Eddie wants his legacy to be that he created pathways of opportunities. Resources HeartlandAlliance.org  ebocanegra@heartlandalliance.org

On this week's episode of Kickin' & Streamin' Podcast, Graham & Jocelyn discuss Netflix original series "The Kominsky Method," starring Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin, Sarah Baker, Nancy Harris, & Lisa Edelstein. Graham & Jocelyn began by discussing how despite having heard of the show and seen Douglas & Arkin nominated for their work in the show, neither Jocelyn, nor Graham knew much about it. Graham asks whether Netflix has done enough to promote the show, and Jocelyn & Graham criticized how award shows don't seem to do a good enough job at picking the best or most compelling scenes of nominated shows to exhibit during the award ceremonies. Jocelyn summarizes the show in impeccable and non-spoiling fashion, as the two co-hosts delved into the topics and issues raised and discussed in the show. The conversation spanned into the cast and what each actor seem to bring to their respective characters. Graham & Jocelyn also discuss the enviable friendship between Sandy Kominsky (Douglas) and Norman Newlander (Arkin). Jocelyn talks about Lisa Edelstein's performance as Phoebe Newlander, and Graham expressed how surprisng it was for him to see Edelstein play such a juvenile and seemingly non-serious character. The pair also talked about the parade of celebrity cameos and guest stars seen on the first season such as: Patti Labelle, Jay Leno, Jayne Seymour, Paul Reiser, and many more.
