Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Brown

Welcome to another exciting episode of Connected Leadership Bytes, where we are exploring the future of work, the role of leadership in navigating these changes, and how to seize future opportunities instead of fearing them. Our guest this week is PwC's Global Workforce Leader, Peter Brown. Pete leads a team of over 10,000 professionals supporting businesses with their workforce challenges. He has over 25 years of global experience advising clients around a number of workforce disciplines. He also sponsors PwC's Global Centre for Transformative Leadership. Andy revisits his podcast episode with Peter, and they consider how the pace of change in our workplace is accelerating, shaped by phenomena such as social media and AI's rapid evolution. Peter shares how platforms like TikTok and Gen AI amassed an unprecedented number of users within months of launching, pointing to a speedier, high-tech future. Andy also explores with Peter the impact of global macro trends like climate change and disruptive technologies as well as the importance of human capacity to adapt and learn. Pete stresses the need for urgency to deal with pressing issues such as the climate crisis. He suggests that technology is not an enemy but a powerful tool that can be harnessed for efficiency and productivity and highlights the necessity to protect people, not jobs, since the workforce must adapt and evolve as technology does. This episode provides foresight into the acceleration of existing work trends and emerging ones to anticipate in the global workplace environment. Key Takeaways: Embrace Technology but Focus on Human Skills : While AI and technology are advancing rapidly, they cannot replace innate human skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, empathy, and collaboration.  Hybrid Work is Here to Stay: Organisations need to find the right balance between in-office and remote work that suits their business needs and employee preferences. Skills Development is Critical: There is a growing emphasis on reskilling and upskilling to meet the demands of an ever-changing work environment. Trust and Flexibility Drive Productivity: Instead of focusing on presenteeism or rigid schedules, leaders should prioritise results-based performance and empower employees to work in ways that suit them best. Alignment of Values Matters: Creating an environment that respects individual needs and fosters meaningful engagement is crucial for retaining talent in today's competitive market.

Crescent Church Sunday Evening Service - 30th March 2025

Edgar Morganroth, Professor of Economics at Dublin City University and Peter Brown, Managing Director, Baggot Investment Partners

Peter Brown's fascinating Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth, the Fall of Rome, and the Making of Christianity in the West, 350-550 AD (Princeton UP, 2014) chronicles the changing conceptions of wealth and treasure in late antiquity and the first centuries of Christianity. For our 2020 series in the rise of money (we also spoke to Thomas Piketty and Christine Desan) Brown related the emergence, in the 3rd and 4th century AD, of striking new ideas about charity and how to include the poor inside a religious community. Brown explains the importance of civic euergetism in the Greek and Roman worldview–i.e. benefaction and charity strictly confined to the good of the city. In early Christianity, this was replaced by compensatory almsgiving by the rich to benefit the lowly poor, or beggars. That notion of the rich being “less likely to enter heaven than a camel going through the eye of a needle”–that, says Brown, “was Jesus at its wildest.” Augustine even preached about almsgiving as “like a traveller's check” that let the rich bank up credit in heaven. But most crucial of all to Brown's argument about changed ideas of wealth is that Christianity initiated the world-transformational notion of corporate identity. Before Oxford, before the East India Company, before IBM, the “managerial Bishop” (Brown's brilliant coinage) is not wealthy in his own right, but is an agent of “impersonal continuity.”.Brown thinks Foucault got this kind of “pastoralism” in Church leaders partially right. But Foucault–“an old fashioned Catholic in many ways” Brown remarks slyly–underestimated the desire of the Christian community to designate a “consumer-driven” church hierarchy in which they can invest. Pressed on the question of resonance to our own day, Brown (as a “good semi-Durkheimian of the Mary Douglas variety”) stresses that “these are almost incommensurable societies.” And he does note an ominous Roman parallel in present-day “personalization of power”–understanding the odious Putin by reading Seneca. Nonetheless, Brown makes clear his enduring admiration for Late Antiquity–compared to classical Greece and perhaps to our own day–because of its “remarkable tolerance for anomaly.” Brown has that too, more power to him! Mentioned in the Episode Peter Brown, Body and Society (1968) Peter Brown,. Augustine of Hippo: A Biography (1968) Peter Brown, The Cult of the Saints (1981) Peter Brown, The Ransom of the Soul (2015) Evelyne Patlagean, Pauvreté économique et pauvreté sociale à Byzance, 4e-7e siè (Economic Poverty and Social Poverty) Augustine, Confessions (c. 400 AD and many other works available here ) Michel Foucault, Security, Territory, Population: Lectures at the Collège de France, 1977–1978 (on priests and the importance of the pastoral or shepherding metaphor) George Lakoff and Michael Johnson, Metaphors We Live By Seneca, Letters from a Stoic Listen and Read Here.

In 2024, just last year, several animated films from all over the world found their way to Oscar nominations.  Tonight we wonder if robots would survive better in the wild than we would. We're talking about the animated adaptation of Peter Brown's beloved novel. Directed and Co-Written by Chris Sanders The writer/Director behind The Croods, How to Train Your Dragon, and everything Lilo & Stitch, and featuring Lupita Nyong'o as Roz the Robot, Kit Conner as Brightbill, Pedro Pascal as Fink, as well as the voices of Catherine O'Hara, Matt Berry, Bill Nighy and Ving Raimes, this film answers the age-old question: What happens when a highly advanced piece of technology is dropped into the wilderness with zero WiFi? We are diving into the breathtaking animation, the emotional storytelling, and whether this truly captures your heart. Did it make us laugh? Cry? Reconsider our relationships with raccoons? Let's discuss! So, power up, recalibrate your circuits, and let's get wild with The Wild Robot!   ITHACON 48 is April 5-6, 2025, at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY!

When the filmmaker and animator Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon) decided to adapt Peter Brown's kids' book “The Wild Robot” for the screen, he threw a lot of modern animation conventions out the window. Chris decided to use hand-painted images instead of CGI and he centred the story on motherhood when mothers are mostly absent in kids' movies. Now, “The Wild Robot” is nominated for an Oscar. Chris joins guest host Gill Deacon to tell us more about the film and how he made it.

"Sometimes, to survive, you must become more than you were programmed to be."Join Stanford Clark and Marc Vibbert as they dive into the most exciting animated films of 2024! From long-awaited sequels to fresh, original stories, we're breaking down everything that made this year in animation unforgettable.

In this episode of DreamMachine, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2024 DreamWorks animated film The Wild Robot based on the 2016 book of the same name by Peter Brown. A robot named ROZZUM Unit 7134 or Roz for short is sent to an uninhabited island to help others in need. But she is surrounded by animals who see her as a threatening monster. One evening, Roz accidentally falls on a nest killing a goose and her eggs. She finds that there is one egg left and the gosling hatches thinking that Roz is his mother. Roz names the gosling Brightbill and together alongside a fox named Fink, they raise him as their own. While Roz is raising Brightbill, she wishes to return back to her homebase so she can fulfill her real purpose. As time passes, she realizes that she has everything she needs in the island: a home and a family. When the film premiered in theaters, it made $323 million dollars out of a $78 million dollar budget receiving critical acclaim from critics and viewers calling it a "masterpiece" and an instant classic with its story, characters, animation, and themes, especially with The Wild Robot being DreamWorks' final in-house film. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/old-school-lane/support
