Podcasts about not my circus

This Sunday Pastor Jen will be preaching on Bless This Mess: "Not My Circus"

Being called resilient can be strange compliment to accept. On one hand the ability to “bounce back” from difficult experiences or to adapt to adversity and move forward is most certainly something to be proud of. But often in order to be considered resilient, you have to walk through the fire, which is not exactly what anyone dreams of.Resiliency is a muscle and it has to be moved. Most of the movement comes through negative or traumatic experiences.In this episode we speak to author of the trilogy memoir series ResilientAF. The 2nd installment: Not My Circus is available for pre-sale, Kissing Asphalt -The Courageous True Story of One Child's Unbreakable Spirit—From Kidnapping & Abuse to Self-Love is available now!

In the episode, "An Interview with Delicia Niami, Author of Kissing Asphalt: On Trauma, Healing, and Resilience (S6 E1)," Delicia joins the show sharing her 3 part memoir series, Resilient AF. The first book in the series, Kissing Asphalt: The Courageous True Story of One Child's Unbreakable Spirit—From Kidnapping & Abuse to Self-Love, tells the story of her early years within a traumatic set of experiences many might not have bounced back from. At the early age of 7, Delicia experienced being kidnapped by her own dad and brought to Bagdad Iraq. Through all the trauma, Delicia shines light on the energy of growing up as a member of Generation X-- the culture of no phones and limited check up by parents--highlighting her deep interest in the GoGos and her adventures in weed culture. Her courage in sharing her ongoing dealings with molestation and how that colored her relationship with intimacy and relationships provides hope for anyone who experiences such violation.Delicia's second book, Not My Circus, chronicles the goings-on inside the courtroom dealing with her mother's murder, while Book 3, The Queen of Silver Linings, shares Delicia's healing journey using a variety of alternative modalities. Delicia uncovers a resilience within and offers a restorative view of how to keep moving forward in the face of such obstacles. For anyone who has struggled with childhood trauma, Delicia's unflinching journey through darkness and back to light will resonate. She has decided to share her story publicly in hopes that it will serve as a guide to the many who have suffered in silence and continue to struggle against the daunting weight imposed by childhood trauma.Buy Delicia's book on Amazon or choose her Audiobook Learn more about Delicia on her website: https://kissingasphalt.com/ #mentalhealth #trauma #recovery #resilientAF #livedexperience #kidnapping  #plantmedicine #kissingasphalt #notmycircus #generationx #molestationPlease visit my website at: www.jengaitasiciliano.comDon't forget to subscribe to the Not As Crazy As You Think YouTube channel @SicilianoJenConnect:Instagram: @ jengaita LinkedIn: @ jensicilianoTwitter: @ jsiciliano

American conceptual artist Kathryn Andrews was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1973. The only child of Judy, an entrepreneur, and Lamar, a salesman and erstwhile poet, Kathryn's early days were transient because her family's business determined where they lived. Kathryn's childhood influences in terms of culture, politics and religion would form the backdrop to her emergence as an artist. Her formal art education began with a BFA from Duke University and an MFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. She also studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology, NY prior to becoming interested in sculpture. She says that initially she did not consider being an artist—working in mixed media came later. Kathryn spent time traveling through Europe and working a range of jobs, including with Bosnian refugees in Slovenia. She then spent five years in Manhattan as a researcher and working for the fine art photographer, Rosalind Solomon. Kathryn then moved to LA in 2000 and began exhibiting her work in 2002. She has exhibited in numerous shows both shared and solo as well as holding performances at institutions including the Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI (2017), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, (2015), The High Line, New York, (2016), and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany (2013). Kathryn is the founder of The Judith Center, which seeks to engage women artists, activists and thought leaders in conversation around the topic of gender equality. It will launch in the spring of 2024 with 50 artists featured in 30 museums over the next five years. Meanwhile, Kathryn's work will be featured in a new exhibition at Kunstmuseum Thun in September 2023, called Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys. Kathryn lives in Los Angeles with her two Bedlington terriers, Coco and Cooper.Kathryn's favorite female artists:Agnes Denes MarisolAlison KnowlesBarbara T SmithBarbara Jones-Hogu (d)Lutz Bacher (d)Gae Aulenti (d)Cini Boeri (d)Kathryn's Playlist (but not when she's working)Bill FrissellPauline OliverosLeo KottkeDizzy GillespieKathryn's website: https://kathrynandrews.net/Instagram: @crib_zHost: Chris StaffordInstagram: @theaartpodcastEmail:hollowellstudios@gmail.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4769409/advertisement

Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys (S2E18 - Hollywood Babylon) The boys had no plan here. There's an AU where Sam is Dean from Gilmore Girls. Remember Animal Planet's The Most Extreme? All these jokes about the TV/Film industry being a terrible place to work are so funny, guys. We learned how to make the best powerpoints in middle school (and we learned capitalism from the Lemonade Stand game). We haven't heard about Ava in a while. Give Dean the slightest chance at normalcy and he thrives.

“Not my Monkeys, Not My Circus”. This Polish proverb made me smile.  A handy phrase for whenever the needle on the “ridiculous meter” is hitting red and overloading.  While it serves as a great smarty-pants one-liner, it actually invites some reflection on the difficulty of getting people and teams to work together.  Another great zinger is the “not invented here” attitude of disinterest, when you are trying to introduce change into organisations.  Japan throws up a number of challenges around getting cooperation or innovation when it is not that person's “circus”, not their direct responsibility.  The social ramifications of failing or making a mistake in Japan are such that people have become geniuses at micro-defining their roles and responsibilities.    A hoary old tradition of “tough love” Japanese bosses lambasting subordinates for errors and shortcomings, has had a salutary effect on subsequent generations, driving them deep into their Comfort Zones.  Keeping a low profile (teishisei), never volunteering, favouring group responsibility over individual accountability, carefully drawing and defending boundaries around the scope of one's job, are some of the outcomes.  Here are some proven principles to improve cooperation and up the “care factor”. By the way, we know all this stuff, we just forget to do it!   “Arouse in the other person an eager want”.  We become so preoccupied with what we want, we are blind to the perspective of the person whose cooperation we seek.  A handy related principle is “talk in terms of the other person's interests”.  If we do that, then the understanding improves and the likelihood of getting their cooperation and ownership for a task goes up dramatically.    Aligning our mutual interests is a winner and the way to do that is to “Be a good listener.  Encourage others to talk about themselves”.  Whoah…check yourself – when you want cooperation are you babbling on about what you want and why it is important to you? When we really listen to others, we can find more points in common and construct a better base on which to build a joint effort.   Two principles that work well in tandem are “Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view” and “Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers”.  The latter idea is not about manipulating people.  Rather, when we have a sense of their situation, values, aspirations, fears and concerns we are better able to find the most convincing argument to support a line of action.  We can frame the context of the decision in a way that they can more easily identify with.  If we give people a big enough WHY, the WHAT and the HOW flow naturally.  The power of that context, that WHY, is often so strong they recognise it themselves and come to their own conclusion, which agrees with ours.    Action Steps Use these principles: Arouse in the other person an eager want Talk in terms of the other person's interests Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view Let the other person feel that the idea is his or her

Cooperation is a key request within organisations.  Within small teams it tends to work well but it gets more challenging when you are trying to get other sections or divisions to cooperate with you. This is where our people skills come into it.  We need to know what are the communication approaches which will have the highest propensity for success in getting cooperation from others? Often these types of soft skills are the things not taught in schools, colleges or in-house company training. Hard skills always get the glory but the real work of moving organisations forward comes down to getting the people to move and that is where these soft skills really start to apply.   Welcome back to this weekly edition every Tuesday of "THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show" I am your host Dr. Greg Story, President of Dale Carnegie Training Japan and best selling author of Japan Sales Mastery. We are bringing the show to you from our High Performance Center in Akasaka in Minato-ku, the business center of Tokyo. Why the Cutting Edge?  In this show, we are looking at the critical areas for success in business in Japan.  We want to help advance everyone's thinking so that we be at the forefront, the Cutting Edge, of how to flourish here in this market. This week's show is rather special as it marks the first anniversary of the show.  Thank you for viewing the show and I hope the show is providing value. Before we get into this week's topic, here is what caught my attention lately. In the late nineties Japanese computer game developers dominated the industry.  Western games caught up and when Forbes listed the best selling games in 2017 only three Japanese games were listed.  What happened?  The trigger was when the Xbox introduced a Windows based development environment.  Japanese developers started to lose ground because they were not used to working in a Windows environment.  The Japanese developers were used to working with propriety formats like PlayStation 3, the PS2 and the Sega Saturn.  Japanese developers not being adept at working with PCs the shift to Western game maker domination started.  In other news, the Japanese Government is promoting their “flying car” project. Electric drones booked through smart phones pick people up from office rooftops, shortening travel time and reducing the need for parking and reducing smog.  All Nippon Airways and NEC corporation and more than a dozen companies and academic experts hope to have  a road map for the plan ready by year's end. Google, drone company Ehang and car maker Geely in China, Volkswagon of Germany have all invested in flying car technology.  Toyota group companies have invested in a Japanese startup called Cartivator that is working on a flying car. One idea is to fly a car up and light the torch at the 2020 Olympics.  Can't wait to see if they can pull that one off. Fumiaki Ebihara the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is the flying car chief for the government.   He was quoted as saying, “this is such a totally new sector Japan has a good chance for not falling behind”.  I wonder how many other Governments have a flying car chief working on this sector? This is episode number  52 and we are talking about  Upping The Team's Care FactorSoredewa ikimasho, so let's get going. “Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys”.  This Polish proverb made me smile.  A handy phrase for whenever the needle on the “ridiculous meter” is hitting red and overloading.  While it serves as a great smarty-pants one-liner, it actually invites some reflection on the difficulty of getting people and teams to work together. Another great zinger is the “not invented here” attitude of disinterest, when you are trying to introduce change into organisations.  Reflecting on working in small project teams, big divisions, across divisions, and ultimately across industry sectors, this “not my circus” disclaimer pops up all the time.  It is funny, but painful.

In any organization, anywhere, we get issues between sales and marketing, sales and production, the back office and production, IT versus everyone, etc.  Japan just manages to take it to another level of sophistication, hence my smile when reading about circuses and monkeys.  So what can we do about it?  Here are some proven principles to improve cooperation and up the “care factor”.
