Podcasts about outdoor clues

Couldn't find your way out of a cardigan? Get into natural navigation with Tristan Gooley, award winning and bestselling author, expedition leader, and nicknamed “The Sherlock Holmes of Nature” by the BBC.What I love about Tristan is that he is first and foremost a practitioner of fun, about how great it feels to notice nature's signs and clues, about the fizzy thrill of uncorking our ancestral problem solving skills. If you, like me, long to read the landscape and find your way through nature, Tristan's books and courses will be your faithful guides.I particularly loved his podcast The Pursuit of Outdoor Clues, which, in just six episodes, soothed my jangled nerves and taught me so much about nature's whispers.

Here's a question that makes every service designer cringe... Can you show (prove) the impact of your work? So what makes this such a tough question? Well the value created through design is emergent and appears in shapes and forms that you didn't expect upfront. It's often hard to capture the benefits and outcomes using traditional ways of measuring successes (excel sheets). Nevertheless it's not smart to ignore this question. When you can't show the impact of your work, you will eventually become irrelevant. It's as simple as that. Next to that I believe we should hold ourselves much more accountable for the results of our work as a community. But how!? In this week's episode of the Show you're going to learn about a framework for evaluating social impact. The great thing is that this framework is also very applicable to service design. If you've been struggling to communicate the value of your work in ways that non-designers understand then this is an episode you really don't want to miss. --- [ GUIDE ] -— 00:00 Welcome to episode 125 01:30 Who is Joyce 03:00 60 second rapid fire 07:00 Finding a way to measure social impact 11:45 Evaluating versus measuring 14:00 The current limitations 19:00 What's standing the way 28:30 Smarter reflection 33:30 Celebrating succes 35:30 The burden of evaluation 40:00 How do you know it works 44:00 The excel sheet person 47:00 Create your own tune 52:30 Stay true to design 55:30 The limits of data 57:30 Final thoughts --- [ LINKS ] --- * Designing Social Innovation in Asia-Pacific Network (DESIAP) - https://desiap.org/ * A practical guide to Developmental Evaluation - https://go.servicedesignshow.com/agwpz * A developmental evaluation primer - https://go.servicedesignshow.com/81m6h * Better Evaluation Resource Website - https://go.servicedesignshow.com/w196r * Different approaches to evaluation - https://go.servicedesignshow.com/116om Books * Design Transitions - https://amzn.to/3eEpShm * Transformations: 7 Roles to Drive Change by Design - https://amzn.to/3aMzGVf * The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs - https://amzn.to/3dYE7hH --- [ HOW TO EXPLAIN SERVICE DESIGN ] --- Learn what it takes to get your clients, colleagues, managers, CEOs and even grandmas as excited about service design as you are. https://servicedesignshow.com/free-course

‘We are never entirely lost, but we can always know where we are better’.  Tristan Gooley, a.k.a. 'The Natural Navigator' joins WEM Education Lead Will Duffin in this latest WEMCast episode.  Natural navigation is the process of finding your way using the clues and signs in the world around you, including the sun, stars, water, plants and even satellite dishes on the side of your house!  Tristan explains that key to moving from a compass to creating a mental map is to completely tune into the world around you. Absolutely anything can be used as a clue if you view it as part of a jigsaw - perhaps no single thing can tell you the answer but a series of observations can lead you to your destination.  Tristan and Will also explore the joy of getting lost - from mini-challenges in your back-yard to enriching journeys. Tristan advocates natural navigation as a brilliant mindfulness technique, as it encourages you to focus on finding your way and enjoy the outdoors!    **  The Natural Navigator Website  The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs by Tristan Gooley, is available online and in book stores such as WHSmith.  Tristan also has a podcast! You can find it here! Tristan's TEDXTalk

Why do we need to know about natural navigation and how do we go about it? Natural navigator Tristan Gooley shares his knowledge and expertise about natural navigation to help us shape our journeys in new, beautiful ways. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: What exactly is natural navigation? What makes natural navigation interesting and enjoyable? What type of people are attracted to natural navigation? How is natural navigation relevant for the busy professionals? Key Takeaways: The scale of a journey doesn’t actually have a huge influence on the satisfaction we get from it physically or philosophically. But natural navigation can make a journey more exhilarating, more exciting, more challenging, and more rewarding. Natural navigation is the beautiful art of understanding where we are and how to get to where we want to be, and it starts with very, very practical, effective techniques. Certain aspects of nature attract certain types of people. Natural navigation is about understanding a bit of everything and how they fit together to make a map and how we make sense of our surroundings using these clues and signs. Through that aspect, it attracts everybody. There’s an opportunity cost to technology. We should be aware when we’re choosing to use it because whenever we’re choosing to use it, we are, inevitably, choosing not to do something else. Action Steps: Learn more about natural navigation and use it in your journeys. Tristan said: “I think we are victims of our own success in tool making. We’ve created technologies which are not just very effective but quite alluring and possibly addictive.” “Almost all of what we would consider the interesting aspects of life could be considered unnecessary. So necessity and interest are not the same at all… It’s more about what we find philosophically and physically rewarding.” Thanks for listening!

Libby Purves meets Ingrid von Oelhafen who was taken from her family in Yugoslavia as a baby and brought up as an Aryan child in the Nazi Party's notorious Lebensborn programme; photographer turned top hat seller Colin Rosie; musician Chi-chi Nwanoku and Tristan Gooley, writer and expedition leader. Colin Rosie is a photographer turned top hat seller. In 2013 he found himself homeless after the collapse of his business. He spent months sleeping rough until financial help from a charity enabled him to start a new business selling top hats. He buys and restores vintage and modern hats from top hats to fedoras and trilbies which he sells on the Last Stop for the Curious stall at London's Spitalfields Market. At nine-months-old Ingrid von Oelhafen was removed from her parents in Yugoslavia by the Nazis and adopted into a German family as part of the Lebensborn programme. Founded by Heinrich Himmler, the Lebensborn programme was established to increase Germany's Aryan population and create a master race. In her book, Hitler's Forgotten Children, Ingrid tells how she finally discovered the truth about her background. Hitler's Forgotten Children by Ingrid Von Oelhafen and Tim Tate is published by Elliott And Thompson. Chi-chi Nwanoku MBE is principal double bass and a founder member of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. She presents a two-part documentary for Radio 4 - In Search of the Black Mozart - in which she tracks down some of the great black composers and performers of the 18th century. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's 30th birthday season begins at the Southbank Centre this autumn. Tristan Gooley is a writer and expedition leader.
