In March 2026, Laurent was invited by Jan Rosenow at Oriel College, Oxford, for a public debate on the energy transition. Held in the College's historic library, the discussion brought together contrasting perspectives on one of today's defining challenges. Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy, is renowned for his work on energy efficiency, electrification, and the transition to net-zero energy systems.Laurent opened by introducing the "Aristotelian Triangle" of the energy debate—Ethos, Logos, and Pathos—arguing that values, evidence, and emotion all shape how people interpret energy issues. Responding to Jan's distinction between energy addition and energy transition, Laurent made two key points.First, history shows that energy forecasts have repeatedly underestimated transformative innovations, from shale gas and LEDs to solar, electric vehicles, batteries, and AI-driven data centres. His conclusion: humility is essential when predicting structural change.Second, Laurent presented his "Diocletian Tetrarchy of Energy," pairing Vaclav Smil with Clayton Christensen to represent continuity versus disruption, alongside Daniel Yergin and Michael Liebreich to illustrate the roles of markets, geopolitics, and industrial transformation. He described himself as roughly 70/30 in favour of technological disruption while acknowledging the inertia of existing energy systems.The discussion also examined the cost of ideology, arguing that opposition to technologies such as offshore wind or nuclear power can shape investment, electricity prices, and energy affordability. It concluded by exploring industrial policy, energy security, and how nations should balance resilience, competitiveness, and comparative advantage in a changing geopolitical landscape.Although the formal debate lasted just over an hour, the conversation continued long afterwards. This episode captures part of those fascinating exchanges.

Wie fühlt sich eine Depression wirklich an? Im Podcast „Feel Hamburg“ spricht Journalist und Autor Benjamin Maack außergewöhnlich offen über sein Leben mit einer wiederkehrenden Depression – ehrlich, selbstkritisch und immer wieder mit überraschendem Humor.Maack erklärt, warum Depression weit mehr ist als Traurigkeit. Sie koste ihn oft „20 bis 40 Prozent“ seiner täglichen Kraft und begleite ihn seit vielen Jahren. Lange habe er geglaubt, sein Zustand sei normal, obwohl sein Leben von außen erfolgreich wirkte. Erst nach einem Zusammenbruch erhielt er die Diagnose und begann zu verstehen, was mit ihm geschieht.Besonders eindrucksvoll beschreibt der SPIEGEL-Redakteur, wie sich Depression auf das eigene Denken auswirkt. Anerkennung von außen komme bei ihm häufig nicht an, stattdessen dominierten Selbstzweifel. Trotzdem hat er gelernt, Warnzeichen früh zu erkennen und Strategien zu entwickeln, die ihm helfen: Eisbaden, Fahrradfahren, Gespräche mit anderen Menschen oder einfach die Erkenntnis, dass „Reden immer gut“ ist.Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt des Gesprächs ist der Umgang der Gesellschaft mit psychischen Erkrankungen. Maack freut sich darüber, dass heute offener über Depression gesprochen wird. Gleichzeitig weist er darauf hin, dass viele Betroffene aus Angst vor beruflichen Nachteilen weiterhin schweigen müssen. Seine eigene Offenheit sei deshalb auch ein Privileg.Natürlich geht es auch um Hamburg. Benjamin Maack erzählt von seinem Weg aus dem niedersächsischen Bardowick in die Hansestadt, von seiner Heimat Harburg, wo er sich den Menschen besonders verbunden fühlt, und davon, warum er lieber mit Fremden ins Gespräch kommt, als sich hinter Vorurteilen zu verstecken. Seine Erfahrungen zeigen: Freundlichkeit schafft oft Nähe – auch dort, wo andere Distanz erwarten.Das Gespräch ist weit mehr als ein Interview über Depression. Es ist ein Gespräch über Menschlichkeit, Hoffnung und den Mut, offen über psychische Gesundheit zu sprechen – ohne Pathos, aber mit viel Wärme, Humor und einer großen Portion Lebensklugheit.Hier geht es zur Podcastempfehlung bei ARD Sounds: https://www.ardsounds.de/sendung/zeitkapsel/urn:ard:show:7bfa3eb2144cdb14/

Pathos Communications Plc (LSE:NEWS) founder and CEO Omar Hamdi joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss a strong first half following the company's public listing, with double-digit growth in both revenue and EBITDA, rising cash receipts and continued AI investment. Hamdi attributed the performance to a large addressable market, expanding customer relationships and a growing range of services driving repeat business and larger engagements. He described it as "a very, very solid start to the year and start to life as a public company." The AI strategy centres on Pressella, the company's virtual publicist, which Hamdi sees delivering value in two ways: improving internal productivity and enabling generative engine optimisation, helping clients improve how they're represented by large language models like ChatGPT. Hamdi said the company is taking a measured approach, leveraging seven years of proprietary data to train the platform. "We're not in a rush. We've got to get this right," he said. Entering the second half with nearly $1 million in deferred income and around $6 million available, Pathos is actively evaluating both organic growth and acquisition opportunities.

Trash, Pathos und Wundenschau in Bayreuth: Das Musiktheaterkollektiv "Hauen und Stechen" zerlegt den Wagner-Mythos zwischen Gralsgemeinschaft, Inklusion und Endzeitstimmung. Ein Besuch beim Projekt "Realitot".

Janácek hatte mit seiner Kleinbürger-Satire "Ausflüge des Herrn Broucek" wenig Glück beim tschechischen Publikum. Und so lief bei den Bregenzer Festspielen der Spagat zwischen Pathos und Satire.

Dass Daniel eine süße Nachspeise serviert, bei der Katharina zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt fluchtartig das Studio verlassen muss, bleibt die einzige Panne in dieser Folge. Ansonsten gibt es: „Fun with Flags““ (Helgoland oder Italien?), große Bestsellerharmonie und einen Gast, der seine Karriere als Gagschreiber bei Jan Böhmermann begonnen hat (Traumjob oder schlaflos in Köln?). Und als Christian Huber dann auch noch beichtet, dass er Pathos liebt und Daniel unentdeckte Metaphern verrät, sind die beiden Best Buddies und kurz davor, ein Busunternehmen in Bayern zu gründen. Wobei: Diese eine unfreiwillige Landstraßenbegegnung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern – die sitzt den Hosts noch ziemlich in den Knochen. Eine Podcastfolge wie eine Mecklenburger Allee: dicht, prall und mit Überraschungen in der Kurve.

Diese Woche bei Oscars & Himbeeren:“Jack Ryan: Ghost War” zeigt exemplarisch, wie sich eine einst starke Marke in austauschbare Agentenkost verwandeln kann. Vorhersehbare Wendungen, blasse Figuren und eine Handlung, die mehr auf Geballer als auf echte Spannung setzt, machen den Film zu einer herben Enttäuschung; die Miniserie “I Will Find You” ist solide Unterhaltung mit einigen spannenden Momenten, erreicht aber weder die emotionale Wucht noch die erzählerische Raffinesse, die der Stoff eigentlich hergeben würde. Sehenswert, aber letztlich zu konventionell, um einen bleibenden Eindruck zu hinterlassen; “22 Bahnen” erzählt seine Geschichte mit großer emotionaler Ehrlichkeit und verzichtet auf billiges Pathos. Das Drama überzeugt durch starke Charaktere und eine Hauptfigur, deren Kampf um Verantwortung und Selbstbestimmung lange im Gedächtnis bleibt; und “Southland” gehört bis heute zu den besten Polizeiserien überhaupt: rau, kompromisslos und außergewöhnlich authentisch, mit einer dokumentarischen Nähe, die den Alltag der Cops in Los Angeles intensiver und glaubwürdiger zeigt als die meisten Genrevertreter.Oscars & Himbeeren - wie immer: schonungslos auf den Punkt gebracht.Hört rein!Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt und ihr tiefer einsteigen wollt, findet ihr auf Substack weitere Texte, Porträts und Filmkritiken vonRonny Rüsch – Filmkritiker.

Törööö!

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! Die globalen Spannungen reißen nicht ab. Im Nahen Osten hat der Iran die erneute Schließung der strategisch bedeutsamen Straße von Hormus angeordnet. Teheran wertet die anhaltenden Angriffe Israels im Libanon als Bruch des Rahmenabkommens mit den USA. Das US-Militär dementiert eine Blockade. Unter pakistanischer Vermittlung sind Gespräche in der Schweiz geplant. In Europa sorgt derweil ein historischer Disput für einen handfesten Eklat: Polens Präsident Karol Nawrocki hat dem ukrainischen Staatschef Wolodymyr Selenskyj den Weißen-Adler-Orden aberkannt. Der Streit um ukrainische Nationalisten im Zweiten Weltkrieg veranlasst nun auch andere Kiewer Politiker, aus Protest polnische Orden zurückzugeben. Zusätzlich empfehlen wir heute zwei zeitlose Themen: Erfahren Sie, wie Aristoteles‘ rhetorisches Dreieck aus Ethos, Pathos und Logos unsere Kommunikation bis heute prägt, und begeben Sie sich auf eine Reise durch die 2.500-jährige, faszinierende Entwicklungsgeschichte des Speiseeises.

Falls ihr unsere Rubrik 'Housekeeping' vermisst habt, in der wir Buße für unsere Versäumnisse und Missverständnisse aus früheren Podcastfolgen tun, könnt ihr euch freuen. Denn nicht nur rekapitulieren wir den risikoreichen Rettungsplan der Galactica für die auf New Caprica gestrandeten Zivilisten, wir widmen uns auch ein weiteres Mal Jamie Bambers (Lee/Apollo) Fatsuit. Außerdem stürzen wir uns in zwei Feuergefechte, in die Traumwelt der Zylonen, Baltars Verzweiflung, Karas Muttergefühle und fragen uns, ob die Alkis Ellen und Saul Tigh wirklich so schlechte Zieheltern wären. Und zum Ende geht's nach viel militärischem Pathos dann auch noch auf die Alm!

Diese Live-Aufzeichnung bringt ein Podium zusammen, das unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnte – und gerade deshalb so gut funktioniert: Dr. Till Steffen (MdB, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), Dr. Martin Plum (MdB, CDU/CSU) und Leonora Holling (Präsidentin der RAK Düsseldorf und BRAK-Schatzmeisterin) diskutieren über nichts Geringeres als den Zustand unseres Rechtsstaats – und das Vertrauen in ihn. Ausgangspunkt ist ein Vorschlag mit Sprengkraft: ein neuer Art. 19 Abs. 5 GG, der den Anspruch auf anwaltlichen Beistand ausdrücklich im Grundgesetz verankern soll. Symbolpolitik oder notwendige Absicherung? Schnell wird klar: Hinter der Idee steckt kein Pathos, sondern der Versuch, ein zentrales Fundament des Rechtsstaats in angespannten Zeiten resilienter zu machen. Die Diskussion widmet sich aber auch einer Frage, die weit über diesen BRAK-Vorschlag hinausgeht: Warum bröckelt das Vertrauen in den Rechtsstaat? Welche Rolle spielen politische Rhetorik, Social Media und mediale Verkürzung? Und wie viel „Wumms“, Framing und Zuspitzung verträgt eine sachliche rechtspolitische Debatte überhaupt? Wir suchen nach Ursachen für die Vertrauenskrise – von algorithmisch verstärkter Empörung bis hin zu politischen Narrativen, die Justiz und Anwaltschaft diskreditieren. Wie viel Zuspitzung vertragen demokratische Auseinandersetzungen und wo beginnen sie, dem System zu schaden? Wo könnte an ansetzen, um das Vertrauen wieder zu stärken? Schnellere Verfahren, bessere Kommunikation, mehr Transparenz? Eine wichtige, pointierte und stellenweise überraschend einvernehmliche Debatte über Sachlichkeit, Kompromissbereitschaft und Haltung – und darüber, warum weniger Pathos manchmal die stärkste Botschaft ist.

Was hätten wir gerne gewusst, als wir Christen geworden sind – oder vielleicht besser: als uns der christliche Glaube bewusst wichtig wurde? In dieser Folge blicken Manu und Stephan zurück auf ihre eigenen Glaubenswege und fragen, welche Einsichten ihnen früher geholfen hätten. Beide bringen je drei Punkte mit: Dinge, die sie entlastet, gewarnt, ermutigt oder vor mancher Verengung bewahrt hätten. Dabei geht es unter anderem um den hohen Stellenwert von Freundschaft: darum, dass Glaube nicht nur in Überzeugungen, Haltungen oder geistlichen Übungen lebt, sondern auch in Beziehungen, in denen man getragen, korrigiert und frei gelassen wird. Und es geht um die gebotene Vorsicht vor dem Adjektiv «christlich» – weil nicht alles, was sich so nennt, automatisch freier, wahrer, liebevoller oder geistlicher ist. Eine Folge über Reifung im Glauben, über nachträgliche Klärungen, über Prägungen, die tragen, und solche, von denen man sich lösen muss. Und über die Frage, was man jüngeren Versionen seiner selbst heute sagen würde, wenn man könnte. Im Stossgebet und Halleluja der Woche kommen Manu und Stephan natürlich nicht am ESC-Wochenende vorbei – mit allem, was dazugehört: Glanz, Pathos, Irritation, Freude und ein bisschen europäischer Überforderung.

Matthias Konetzny ist Experte für Selbstverantwortung. Er beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, was Menschen tun, wenn der Applaus ausbleibt, der Chef abtaucht und das Unternehmen so tut, als ließe sich Orientierung durch ein neues Organigramm ersetzen.Seit über 40 Jahren erlebt er, wie Menschen sich in ihrer Arbeit verbiegen, Leistung bringen, Probleme lösen und trotzdem auf Anerkennung warten wie auf einen verspäteten Zug. Genau da setzt Matthias Konetzny an. Er zeigt, warum es gefährlich ist, das eigene berufliche Leben ständig in fremde Hände zu legen. Wer darauf hofft, dass Vorgesetzte, Strukturen oder der Markt es schon irgendwann richten werden, gibt zu viel ab, worauf es am Ende ankommt: die eigene Handlungsfähigkeit.Matthias Konetzny macht Selbstverantwortung greifbar, ohne großes Pathos und ohne diesen ganzen Wohlfühlnebel, der sonst gern um das Thema gelegt wird. Bei ihm geht es nicht darum, sich schöner zu finden als gestern. Es geht darum, klarer zu werden. Ehrlicher. Wirksamer. Es geht darum, zu erkennen, wofür man steht, was man kann und warum es keine gute Idee ist, den eigenen Wert vom nächsten Organigramm abhängig zu machen.Als Unternehmerberater, Speaker und Impulsgeber spricht er aus Erfahrung, nicht aus der Distanz. Er kennt Umbrüche, den Druck, die Unsicherheit und die Momente, in denen einem plötzlich sehr nüchtern klar wird, dass jetzt niemand kommt, um das eigene Leben aufzuräumen. Matthias Konetzny hat eine klare Botschaft: Hör auf zu warten und übernimm Verantwortung für deine Richtung, deine Entscheidungen und deine Sichtbarkeit. Selbstverantwortung ist kein nettes Extra. Sie ist oft genau DER Unterschied zwischen weiter nur funktionieren und endlich wirksam werden.Für Menschen im mittleren Management, in Umbruchphasen und für alle, die spüren, da steckt noch deutlich mehr in ihnen, ist Matthias Konetzny kein Mutmacher mit Spruchkarten. Er ist ein klarer Begleiter mit Haltung. Einer, der sagt, was Sache ist. Und genau das macht seine Arbeit so wertvoll. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you're a good speaker who isn't getting booked at the rate or fee you think you deserve, this episode is going to be uncomfortable in the right way.The problem, in most cases, isn't your speaking. It's your positioning. And more specifically, it's the fact that most speakers build their positioning around what they want to say rather than what the market actually needs to hear.In this episode, John works through six positioning mistakes that keep credible, capable speakers invisible -- with real client stories and examples that make each one land where it needs to.Join us for the live speaker positioning event: https://present-influence.kit.com/products/a-position-of-authority-why-most-speakWhat's covered:The topic trap—why building your talk around your own expertise and interests, rather than your buyer's specific problem, is the fastest route to an empty pipeline. Including a story about a speaker whose health and productivity topic created a liability rather than a solution.Information vs transformation -- why packing your keynote with everything you know is the reason you're not getting rebookings or workshop enquiries. The talk that impresses is not always the talk that converts.The speak-on-anything problem -- both the unfocused speaker who hasn't chosen a lane, and the ego-driven speaker who believes intelligence alone equals credibility. With a real example from John's time at The Speaker Lab, and a look at what happened when Courtney Harding (episode 254) chased a hot topic without a clear problem to solve.The corporate bottom-line test—particularly for speakers building a career in the UK and Europe, where the association circuit doesn't exist in the same way it does in the US. If you want to be well-paid, corporate is where you need to be -- and your topic must connect directly to making or saving money. Cross-references the episode with Jackson Ogunyemi on education speaking, and a forthcoming episode with Claire Young on the UK education speaker market.Nice-to-have vs must-book -- why some topics will always sit in the soft column no matter how well you frame them, and what creates genuine urgency in a booking decision.The person is positioning—ethos, logos, and pathos applied to the speaker's positioning. Why two speakers can deliver identical content and create entirely different results, why your ethos cannot be copied even when your content is, and what Maria Franzoni revealed about content theft on episode 256 of this show.Referenced episodes:Episode 254 -- Hot Market, Cold Inbox: Why Your Speaking Calendar Isn't Matching Your Credibility (Courtny Harding)Episode 256 -- How Professional Speakers Get Hired: The Bookability Formula (Maria Franzoni)Jackson Ogunyemi episode -- education speaking and why it rarely pays enough to build a career onComing soon -- Claire Young on the UK education speaker booking market==============FAQs============== What is speaker positioning, and why does it matter for getting booked?Speaker positioning is how you define and communicate the specific value you deliver to a specific buyer with a specific problem. It goes beyond having a topic—it determines whether a buyer sees you as a must-book speaker or a nice-to-have. Most speakers who struggle to get booked consistently, or who aren't commanding the fees they want, have a positioning problem rather than a speaking problem. In this episode, speaking coach John Ball explains why positioning built around what a speaker wants to say, rather than what the market needs to hear, is the most common reason credible speakers stay invisible.What is the difference between a topic and a positioning for a speaker?A topic is a subject area —such as leadership, communication, resilience, or AI. A positioning is a specific claim about who you serve, what problem you solve, and why you are the credible choice to solve it. John Ball describes the topic as raw material and positioning as what you build from it that makes a buyer say yes. Speakers who position themselves around a topic category rather than a specific buyer problem are easy to overlook and difficult to justify to stakeholders.What mistakes do speakers make when trying to break into the corporate market? The most common mistakes speakers make when breaking into corporate include: building their talk around their own interests rather than a problem the business already knows it has, delivering information-heavy keynotes rather than creating genuine transformation, speaking on too many topics without a clear specialisation, and failing to connect their subject to the company's bottom line. Corporate buyers need to justify every fee to stakeholders, which means a speaker's topic must connect directly to making money, saving money, or reducing risk. John Ball covers all of these mistakes with real client examples in this episode.Why do some speakers get lots of enquiries while others with equal talent don't?Speakers who attract consistent enquiries are typically positioned at the intersection of a specific, urgent problem, a credible, differentiated solution, and demonstrable evidence that their work delivers results. John Ball describes this as the difference between a nice-to-have speaker and a must-book speaker. Topics that address immediate, high-stakes business pain points -- such as AI adoption, organisational communication failures, or leadership under pressure -- create urgency in the buyer that drives action. Softer topics, however well framed, tend to be deferred or cut when budgets tighten.What are ethos, logos and pathos, and how do they apply to speaker positioning?Ethos, logos, and pathos are the three modes of persuasion identified by Aristotle. In the context of speaker positioning, logos refers to the intellectual substance of a speaker's content—their frameworks, research, and arguments. Pathos refers to the emotional resonance they create—their delivery, humour, and ability to move an audience. Ethos refers to their credibility and earned authority to speak on a subject—their track record, lived experience, and body of work. John Ball argues that ethos is the most powerful and least copyable element of a speaker's positioning, and that speakers who rely solely on logos—listing credentials and frameworks—leave the most important part of their positioning invisible.Can other speakers copy your talk and damage your positioning?Content theft is more common in the speaking industry than most people acknowledge. Talks get transcribed, frameworks get lifted, and stories get repurposed by other speakers. However, John Ball argues that what makes a talk genuinely powerful -- the speaker's ethos, their lived experience, and their earned authority -- cannot be copied. Two speakers can deliver identical content and create entirely different results because audiences respond to the person carrying the ideas, not just the ideas themselves. Speaker agent Maria Franzoni addressed this directly on episode 256 of Professional Speaking: Known. Booked. Paid.Is corporate speaking the only viable route for well-paid speakers in the UK and Europe?For speakers building a career in the UK and Europe, corporate speaking is the most reliable route to sustainable, well-paid work. The association speaking circuit that sustains many American speakers does not exist in the same form in the UK and Europe, and associations that do exist largely do not pay competitive fees. Education speaking can be rewarding but rarely pays enough to build a primary income on -- explored in depth in the episode with Jackson Ogunyemi. Faith speaking does not pay at meaningful levels except for established public figures. After-dinner speaking, conference speaking, and stand-up comedy can be lucrative but require distinct skill sets. A forthcoming episode with Claire Young, who runs a UK education speaker booking agency, will explore the education market in more detail.Ready to do the actual work on your positioning?

What if the way you speak is actually telling people whether or not you deserve to lead?In this episode, Michael Reddington sits down with Lauren Sergy, a communication expert and author with a background spanning radio, corporate communications, classical rhetoric, and the performing arts. Lauren has built a career helping leaders and organizations master the science, art, and alchemy of speaking so that their message lands with the right people in the right way.This conversation covers the full landscape of strategic communication for leaders, from building authentic executive presence to applying ancient rhetorical principles in modern high-stakes conversations. Lauren brings a rare combination of academic rigor and practical playfulness to topics that most people either overlook entirely or get completely backwards.Lauren unpacks what it really means to speak the language of leadership, why the most dangerous thing a leader can do is be unpredictable, and how the three pillars of classical rhetoric can help anyone diagnose communication breakdowns in real time. She also makes a compelling case for why leaning too heavily on AI to write your communication isn't just a style problem — it's a trust problem.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat executive presence actually is and why it has nothing to do with being the smartest or toughest person in the roomWhy the person speaking up to a leader carries all the risk and what leaders must do to change that dynamicHow to use ethos, logos, and pathos to diagnose and fix communication breakdowns before they derail a conversationWhy trying to imitate another leader's style almost always backfires and what to do insteadHow to listen for the words your audience uses and mirror them back to move people from anxiety to confidenceWhy unpredictability is one of the most damaging things a leader can bring to a teamThe real problem with using AI to write speeches and internal communicationsWhy the ability to speak extemporaneously will become one of the most valuable leadership differentiators as AI becomes more commonChapters:(00:00) Welcome and Introduction to Lauren Sergy(03:28) What the Language of Leadership Actually Is(06:29) How to Develop Your Own Executive Presence Without Imitating Anyone Else(12:31) Adapting Your Communication to Different Industries and Audiences(17:14) Why Whoever Speaks Up the Ladder Carries All the Risk(24:35) Ethos, Logos, and Pathos as a Real-Time Communication Diagnostic(33:05) How to Move Someone's Thinking While Keeping Their Trust(39:04) How Well Does AI Actually Handle Communication?(45:32) Why Extemporaneous Speaking Will Become a Leadership DifferentiatorLinks and ResourcesLauren Sergy | LinkedInUp Front Communication with Lauren Sergy: Speaker, Author, TrainerAbout the GuestLauren Sergy is a communication expert, speaker, and author with a passion for the art, science, and alchemy of interpersonal communication.

In dieser Folge von Die Abschweifung geht es um etwas, das wir oft für selbstverständlich halten – und doch viel zu selten bewusst leben: Rücksichtnahme. Nicht als großes moralisches Konzept, sondern als alltägliche Haltung. Sascha erzählt von persönlichen Erfahrungen mit Inklusion, Behinderung und Neurodivergenz – von Rollstuhl, Rollator und Legasthenie, aber auch von kleinen Gesten, die den Alltag für andere spürbar leichter machen. Türen aufhalten. Zeit geben. Mitdenken. Dinge normalisieren, die eigentlich normal sein sollten. Es geht um Menstruation im Alltag, um unausgesprochene Erwartungen, um Scham, Unverständnis und darum, wie verletzend mangelnde Rücksicht sein kann – gerade dann, wenn sie als „Kritik“ oder vermeintliche Überlegenheit daherkommt. Gleichzeitig geht es um die Frage, warum viele dieser Dinge für manche Menschen ganz selbstverständlich sind und für andere offenbar nicht. Eine persönliche, nachdenkliche Folge über Empathie ohne Pathos, über Respekt statt Mitleid und über die leisen Entscheidungen, mit denen wir jeden Tag bestimmen, wie menschlich unsere Gesellschaft ist.

On this episode I share a principle that shows up again and again in great communication but is often overlooked by professionals: you have to earn attention before you earn understanding. Too many presentations, meetings, and messages begin with dense context, background, or data. But audiences don't start in "information-processing mode." They start in attention mode — scanning for relevance. If the opening doesn't grab them, the content that follows doesn't land. The core idea of this episode is simple but transformative: Engage first. Then inform. Attention Is the Gatekeeper We live in a world of constant distraction. Phones buzz, inboxes refill, and meetings stack back-to-back. You can't assume your audience is ready to absorb information the moment you begin. That's why starting with engagement is essential. As the episode puts it, if the first thing your audience hears is a spreadsheet, a data table, or a wall of bullets, "their brains will tune out before the thinking begins." Engagement isn't entertainment — it's a form of cognitive kindness. It tells your audience: Stay with me. This matters. What Engagement Really Means Engagement doesn't require charisma or theatrics. Instead, it's about delivering an emotional or intellectual spark that primes the brain for meaning. In the episode, you highlight several practical ways to create that spark: Start with a story — even a single sentence can establish stakes or human connection. Lead with a recommendation — clarity itself is engaging. Share a surprising fact — novelty triggers curiosity. Pose a thought-provoking question — questions pull the audience mentally into the conversation. Create simple tension — the gap between "where things are" and "where things could be." These techniques aren't gimmicks. They are proven attention triggers that open the door for the logic and evidence that come next. Why Engagement Works The episode lays out the psychology clearly: engagement activates emotion, and emotion primes the brain for comprehension. This echoes Aristotle's frameworks — Pathos sets the stage for Logos. When your audience feels something — interest, tension, surprise — they become more open to understanding and retaining information. Engagement isn't a bonus. It's the bridge between attention and insight. Then Inform: Delivering the Content Once you've earned attention, now you can deliver the substance. The episode reinforces a familiar structure for this phase: Lead with the key recommendation Share the top supporting reasons Present only the evidence necessary to make the case Clarify implications, risks, or next steps Make a clear request or action This sequence works because the mind prefers clarity before detail, destination before map. Engagement at the start makes this structure even more powerful: the brain is now on board and ready to follow. Avoiding Gimmicks Importantly, the episode emphasizes what not to do. Engaging first is not about jokes, theatrics, or forced "TED-ification." The goal isn't to "perform." The goal is to help your audience stay with you long enough to understand you. Engagement is the runway. Information is the flight. Both matter, but one must come first. A Leadership Habit Professionals who learn to engage first don't just communicate more effectively — they lead more effectively. Audiences trust them faster, stay with them longer, and remember their message more clearly. Before your next email, meeting, or presentation, try asking: What's my hook? Why will this matter to my audience right now? What moment will pull them in before I deliver the data? If you start there, the rest of your communication will feel smoother, clearer, and more compelling. Because if you want people to listen, you have to earn their attention. Only then can you earn their understanding.

Logos, Ethos, Pathos: The Ancient Keys to Modern Persuasion In this episode of Conversations on Communication, I explore three timeless principles that sit at the heart of all persuasive communication: Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. They come from Aristotle, but their power is as relevant today in an MBA classroom, a boardroom, or a client meeting as it was in ancient Athens. When you learn to apply these three deliberately, your messages become sharper, more credible, and more emotionally resonant. Logos: The Logic of Your Argument Logos is the appeal to logic — the structure and reasoning that makes your audience think, "Yes, that makes sense." It's not only about data; it's about connection. Logos ensures that every statement you make clearly links to the conclusion you want your audience to draw. Facts, analysis, and evidence give your message weight, but they need to form a coherent chain of reasoning. In business, Logos often appears through charts, models, and financial analysis. But data alone doesn't persuade — logic does. The strongest communicators make the relationship between evidence and recommendation unmistakable. "We recommend expanding into Austin because customer adoption is 25% higher and logistics costs are 30% lower than comparable markets." That single "because" captures the essence of Logos. A final note: too much data can obscure your message. Your job isn't to share everything you know; it's to make the most important facts impossible to ignore. Ethos: The Credibility of the Speaker Ethos is the appeal to credibility and character. It answers the question, "Why should I trust you?" Your Ethos comes from more than your credentials. It's built through tone, preparation, and consistency. It's how you show that you've done your homework, that you understand the audience's world, and that your insights come from care as well as competence. You build Ethos when you say, "We didn't have complete customer data for the past two quarters, so we supplemented it with qualitative interviews to strengthen our understanding." That blend of honesty and diligence communicates credibility. Ethos is also shaped by how you sound and carry yourself. A steady pace, deliberate pauses, and confident posture project competence. Silence, used well, communicates confidence. People decide whether to trust you long before they evaluate your argument — so make sure your delivery earns that trust. Pathos: The Emotion of Connection Pathos is the emotional appeal — the part of communication that makes people care. Logic makes people think, but emotion makes them act. Pathos doesn't mean manipulation; it means connecting your message to human values, hopes, or fears. It's about showing why your recommendation matters beyond the numbers. "This expansion could help 10,000 small businesses reach new customers and create jobs in underserved communities." The data might stay the same, but the emotional frame transforms how people receive it. Stories, metaphors, and anecdotes are natural vehicles for Pathos. Humans are wired for narrative — it's how we remember and share meaning. A story can make your data come alive, and it helps your audience see themselves in your message. People may forget your exact words, but they'll remember how you made them feel. Bringing It All Together The most persuasive communicators blend all three: Logos gives your message clarity and structure. Ethos builds credibility and trust. Pathos creates connection and motivation. Together, they form the foundation of influence. You can think of persuasion as an equation: Influence = (Evidence + Economics + Emotion) ÷ Context Your evidence is Logos. Economics speaks to both logic and motivation — the bridge between head and heart. Emotion is Pathos. And Context — the audience, timing, and tone — determines whether your message lands. Lead with logic. Reinforce with credibility. Connect with emotion. Key Takeaway Before your next big meeting or presentation, ask yourself: Is my argument logical? (Logos) Am I credible and authentic? (Ethos) Have I made my audience care? (Pathos) If you can answer yes to all three, you're not just informing — you're persuading. And that's the difference between being heard and being remembered.

Le récit se concentre sur Toby, dont les fonctions cognitives et motrices ont été affectées par un accident. Un livre qui n'a pas vraiment séduit les critiques du Masque par son caractère sirupeux.

We are a storied species: Everything we do arises from the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves and each other and our relationship with the web of life.  Our current polycrisis: the accelerating annihilation of our cultures and our biosphere arises out of a particular set of stories that tell us we're isolated individuals caught in a system of separation, scarcity and powerlessness; that we can't trust anyone else and we have to do whatever it takes to get to the top of a steep-sided pyramid - that anyone who falls or fails is not worth our empathy or compassion; that the living web is a 'resource' to be exploited; that the ends of madmen always justify the means by which they steal control. This is how we end up with narratives of the 'humane genocide of non-productives' being peddled in the backwaters of the alt-right, and a world of increasing violence.So how do we change this? How do we create visions of a world that functions differently, one where every single human thrives as an integral part of a flourishing ecosphere?  One obvious route is to begin to seed stories in the various screen-based media where people engage with empathy and compassion, where our goals and values have a compassionate base, where people respond with genuine emotional literacy, as adults, instead of endlessly as adolescents. Our guest this week is Romain Vakilitabar, founder of Pathos Labs, a non-profit laboratory focused on exploring ways in which entertainment and media can rewrite harmful narratives, and change culture. One such project is PopShift, an initiative which convenes Hollywood's leading TV writers with the country's leading experts to determine how television can help catalyze new prosocial behaviors and attitudes.Romain was awarded the "Erase the Hate" fellowship from NBCUniversal in 2018 for his efforts to eradicate hatred in America. He spoke at one of the world's biggest TEDx events, has been featured in the books "2 Billion Under 20" and "Compassionate Careers", and in journals such as UC Berkeley's "Othering and Belonging".  Whether traveling between Palestine and Israel to better understand emotional relationships to the long-lasting conflict, spending weeks voluntarily homeless to empathize with the idea of "absolute need", hitchhiking thousands of miles to test the generosity of strangers, or living with conservative rural farmers in Oklahoma to better understand cultural conservatism, Romain has found that people, no matter the differences, are more alike than they imagine. Pathos Labs was born to prove it, by using the arts to dismantle systemic "othering".Romain on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/romainvak/Pathos Labs https://pathoslabs.org/Pop Shift https://popshift.org/Video from Futures Basecamp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnxKP4wecis/The Day After Movie on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085404/reviews/What we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join our next Open Gathering offered by our Accidental Gods Programme it's  'Dreaming Your Death Awake' (you don't have to be a member) it's on 2nd November - details are here.If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.

The 18th-century philosopher David Hume famously predicted that, as the world grew more rational and scientific, people would stop having supernatural encounters.But that's not what has played out.We might live in a secular age, but we continue to have seemingly divine experiences.Lots of people now describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious”, but taking that next step - that leap of faith - into a formal belief system might actually be more rational than not.(00:00) - - Intro (00:51) - - Modern miracles (05:56) - - Ross Douthat: Columnist and podcaster (07:10) - - The Decadent Society (12:11) - - Secular regrets (19:33) - - The Logos of creation (38:42) - - The Pathos of near-death experiences (45:08) - - Buff Dickson's near-death experience (50:35) - - More miracles (58:50) - - Join a religion - any religion!
