This episode delves into the use of substitute questions—simpler queries we use to answer more complex ones—and the crucial concept of cohesion between these substitutes and our true objectives. You'll learn how to leverage counterfactual thinking to scrutinize your assumptions and enhance the effectiveness of your decisions. Discover two powerful counterfactual techniques: asking "what else could be true?" to reveal alternative explanations, and employing thought experiments to, for example, precisely define your desires and career aspirations. The discussion offers practical applications, from refining hiring processes by identifying high-cohesion interview criteria to avoiding confirmation bias in debugging. By adopting counterfactual thinking, you can significantly improve your analytical skills, make more informed choices, and build robust strategies.Uncover how cognitively taxing questions lead us to use substitute questions as heuristics, and why understanding the cohesion between these is vital for accurate decision-making.Learn to implement "counterfactual thinking" to rigorously check your heuristics and substitute questions, ensuring they effectively align with your actual goals and underlying evaluations.Discover two key counterfactual techniques: exploring "what else could be true?" to identify alternative explanations for observations, and conducting thought experiments to clarify nuanced personal and professional desires.Explore practical applications of counterfactuals to drastically improve processes like hiring, by challenging low-signal interview criteria (e.g., LeetCode problems) and making more predictive assessments of candidates.Understand how counterfactuals can combat biases like confirmation bias in problem-solving, such as debugging, by prompting you to consider alternative causes and avoid poor pathways of biased logic.Realise the transformative power of counterfactual thinking in refining your thinking process, improving your career trajectory, and enhancing departmental operations by identifying and improving low-cohesion substitutions.

Where does Europe fit into the 21st century? Political scientist Professor Helen Thompson returns to the podcast to talk about the big picture for the global economy and international relations in the age of Trump's second term, China's rise and Europe's relative decline. She talks to Hugh about the real significance of America's debt pile, Silicon Valley's shift to Trump, the future of NATO, the growing interest in controlling the Arctic and China's economic and technological rise. And she argues that Europe needs to realise just how different a place America is - and always has been. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Daniel Ogunshakin, BBC journalist and Liverpool fan, describes what he witnessed when a car drove into a crowd at Liverpool's Premier League trophy parade.

I think Winston Peters ruling out ever going into coalition with Chippy after the next election is actually more significant than many people will realize. Because Winnie was actually Chippy's only credible path back to being prime minister again. Without Winnie, Chippy is completely stuffed, because the alternatives are not real options. The alternatives are: One - being in a coalition with a couple of loony parties, which centre voters are absolutely not going to go for. So you can forget about that. The other is that Labour is returned as a majority Government again, which is, after what happened last time, not going to happen for a very long time again. So basically, there is no way back for Chippy. He will not be Prime Minister after 2026, if ever. Now a lot of people would say to me at this juncture - well of course not, National were always going to win the next election anyway, so this is just a completely spurious argument. But I would say to you is - Labour's chances are actually a little bit better than you might think, because what we have right now is hardly a wildly popular Government. These guys were elected, remember, telling us they were going to turn this economy around. 18 months later, they have not turned this economy around. 18 months later, we are still in the economic doldrums. We are yet to see a vision, economically, from the coalition Government, the right track, wrong track indicator that comes out in multiple polls now is heavily negative for this Government. Thousands of people are voting with their feet and leaving the country altogether. People vote with their hip pocket, right? Forget about everything else. If you just look at the economy, that is your greatest determiner of what happens at the election. People vote with their hip pocket - and right now, the hip pocket is suffering, it is not looking good for the economy. But also, there should be a target right now on Chippy's back in Labour, because Winnie's problem is not with Labour. Winnie's problem is with Chris Hipkins, which means a different leader and Winston Peters is back in the game as a possibility for Labour. Now that requires Labour to roll Chris Hipkins and then their chances are good again. However, that requires Labour actually realizing that they need Winston Peters to form a coalition Government after 2026 - and that requires them also realizing there is no way they can coalesce with the Māori Party because most voters are allergic to the shenanigans that that party get up to. But I don't think Labour is smart enough to realize that yet, do you? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: ...

Do you feel too busy to pray? Do you struggle to be real with God? In this episode, Fr Columba invites us to rethink our approach to prayer. Drawing wisdom from St Francis de Sales, St Paul and von Balthasar, he challenges the idea that prayer is a luxury for when we have time.

Purification of the soul (S1) Surah [79:40-41]: “ But as for him who and Fears the Standing before his Lord (ﷻ ), and who reigns in his lust, Paradise is Surely his abode". Purifying one's soul is of utmost significance - one cannot enjoy the true fruits of revelation without it. What is purification of the soul? The messenger ﷺ said: “It is that you realise that Allah ﷻ is with you, wherever you are". Our messenger ﷺ: “The best iman is that you realise that Allah ﷻ is with you, wherever you are”. Samura Ibn Jundub (رضي الله عنه): “Whoever wants to see Shaytaans authority over himself, Should see how he acts In private!". Jihad of the Nafs - purifying your soul - is the greatest jihad, ranking one even above Martyrs, for jihad on the battlefield is temporary, whilst conquering your nafs lasts your entire life time!

I had a fascinating conversation with Bren Veziroglu about ecological dynamics and how it's transforming coaching and movement practice. Bren's journey from a self-described "skinny, unathletic" teen to becoming an influential voice in movement education reveals powerful insights about skill development and learning. Three key takeaways from our conversation:Traditional drilling approaches develop technique but not true skill. By understanding that skill emerges from the dynamic interaction between the person and their environment, we can design more effective practice methods.The ecological approach creates more joy and engagement in learning, making practice not only more effective but inherently rewarding. When activities are task-led rather than drill-led, both coaches and athletes experience more flow.Developing physiological capabilities is important, but these should be built through functional movements aligned with the actual demands of the activity, rather than isolated exercises with questionable transfer.To continue exploring these ideas with like-minded coaches and practitioners, join my learning group 'The Guild of Ecological Explorers' by heading to www.thetalentequation.co.uk and clicking the 'join a learning group' button.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-talent-equation-podcast--2186775/support.

In these shorter Side Mirror episodes, I introduce concepts, tools, and experts that help you enable Fulfilling Performance for yourself and the people you lead and care about.In this Side Mirror which is part one of two episodes, I want to talk about friction.Not the physics kind. The kind that silently builds up in our work and lives, slowing us down without us even noticing. The kind of friction that gets in the way of us bringing more of what we've already got to what we're doing.Fulfilling Performance depends on us recognising and removing this type of friction—what I often refer to as handbrakes. In Part 2, next week I'll share how the most common forms of friction fall into four broad categories—and how by topping up the Fundamentals we can reduce friction and enable Fulfilling Performance.About AndyI'm an experienced business leader and a passionate developer of people in the automotive finance industry, internationally.During over twenty five years, I have played a key role in developing businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Corporate Finance UK, BMW Financial Services Singapore, BMW Financial Services New Zealand and Tesla Financial Services UK.At the same time, I have coached individuals and delivered leadership development programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe and North America.I started Aquilae in 2016 to enable “Fulfilling Performance” in the mobility industry, internationally.Learn more about Fulfilling PerformanceCheck out Release the handbrake!

Burnout isn't just a buzzword — it's a creeping, physiological and psychological disconnection that's become all too common in high-achieving cultures. And often, the people most affected are the ones least likely to see it. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Clare Ashley — author of A Burnout Doctor and former NHS medic — who knows this terrain from the inside. After her own collapse early in her medical career, Clare began to explore burnout not just as a condition, but as a message. We explore: Why denial is often a hallmark of burnout The subtle early signs we tend to ignore How purpose, community and autonomy act as protective forces Why 20% of meaningful work can shift everything How burnout recovery ties in with self-awareness, flow and intention This is a vital conversation — especially if you've been pushing through, wondering why you're so tired, or feel like something's been missing.

This episode explores the concept of Chesterton's fence, a principle that advises against removing or altering something without first understanding its original purpose.• Understand the core message of Chesterton's fence: before getting rid of an existing system, process, or code, take the time to understand why it was put there in the first place.• Learn about the common thought process that leads to wanting to remove things without understanding them ("Why on earth would anyone ever do it this way?").• Discover the parable of Chesterton's fence: the more intelligent reformer questions the removal of a fence until its use is understood.• See an analogy in code review where a senior engineer might question the removal of code or tests without understanding their purpose.• Understand the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and the Dunning-Kruger effect, which can lead to overestimating one's own abilities and underestimating the reasoning behind existing systems.• Recognise the mistake of assuming that predecessors were incompetent and that their work was done in error.• Appreciate the importance of adopting a curious mindset and trying to understand the original reasons behind existing practices.• Understand that Chesterton's fence is not a justification for never changing anything, but a caution against recklessness and the importance of being informed.• Learn that even when deciding to remove something, understanding its purpose can lead to better decisions and improvements in the future (e.g., replacing an old test with a better one).• Realise the value of learning from the experiences and reasoning of those who came before.

There are more public toilets in Dublin than people realise – and the Council must ensure there are proper signs and access. That's the call from several councillors, including Darragh Moriarty, Labour Group Leader on Dublin City Council who explained Shane this morning.

This episode discusses how to reframe areas of growth identified in performance reviews with your manager, turning potential weaknesses into strategic strengths. It emphasizes focusing on excelling in your existing strengths rather than spreading efforts thinly across all areas of improvement. Understand why it's misguided to immediately convert a list of growth areas into a to-do list and the importance of collaborating with your manager on this. Learn to identify the growth areas you are interested in and determine what has kept you from excelling in them, such as time, opportunity, or self-confidence. Discover why focusing on becoming extraordinarily good in your already strong areas can lead to unique opportunities for you and your company. Explore how to strategically discuss your growth areas with your manager, focusing on a limited set of areas for improvement and suggesting compromises or delegation for others. Challenge the conventional wisdom of balancing skills and instead consider how to become a top performer (top 2%) in your areas of strength. Realise that a team composed of individuals excelling at different things, will probably be more effective than a team of well-rounded individuals.

This episode introduces a simple quadrant tool to visualise different working modes that a team or individual task might be in, based on levels of autonomy and definition. Understand how the quadrant is built using the X-axis of dependency (high to low) and the Y-axis of definition (high to low) to visualise different work modes. Explore how the bottom left quadrant represents work that is highly exploratory and highly dependent, often requiring collaboration across multiple departments. Learn how a "spike" usually fits into the bottom right quadrant, signifying autonomous exploration. Discover how the top left quadrant is for work that is highly dependent but highly defined, such as a migration project or adopting a new tool. Understand how the top right quadrant represents work that is the most defined and the most autonomous, typically a singular task assigned to an individual. Recognise that many development frameworks focus on optimising work to fit in the top right quadrant to improve flow by reducing dependencies. Consider that the top left quadrant is often the lowest value production due to high dependencies without creative thinking. Realise that exploratory work, if unguided, can be a liability, and it may be useful to involve more people in the exploration or ensure the individual has significant experience. Be aware that processes are often optimised for tasks in the top right quadrant, potentially leading to the avoidance of work in other quadrants.

One of the key ways I'm supporting my clients to scale their masterminds this year is by creating scalable success plans. My clients love this level of bespoke support and over the last month, I've created 10 plans for 10 unique businesses.Do you know what I've noticed? No matter how different the businesses are, the same patterns show up for most business owners. Whether they're just starting out or running multiple programs, the core challenges to scaling don't really change. So if you're looking to scale this year, these are my top 5 recommendations:1. Embrace Niche and Specific MessagingHere's the thing about messaging - most people make this way harder than it needs to be. The moment you get super specific about who you help and how you help them, everything else falls into place. And I mean everything - your content, your offers, your whole program structure.2. Tighten Up Your Systems to Support ImplementationThis is where so many business owners get stuck. A common theme coming up for my clients is that they feel time poor when it comes to creating and implementing their content creation. My recommendation here is to create really clear systems so that it feels far more easeful. This is relevant for any area of your business where implementation is lacking. 3. Develop or Refine Your Scalable Freedom FunnelFor some clients, their success plan included recommendations around tweaking their existing funnel and for others, it was creating a brand new funnel for their launch or evergreen content. Whatever your offers look like, when you know what your funnel looks like, you know exactly what lever you can pull to bring clients into your business consistently.4. Realise the Power of Small TweaksSometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the smallest changes. I've watched entire programs transform just by tweaking one part of their delivery or adjusting how they onboard clients. One of my clients made a small tweak in her funnel and got 25 replies to a particular email, which so far has converted to several people on calls with her. Don't overlook the small details and the big impact they can make.5. Streamline Your Offer SuiteScaling doesn't mean adding more to your offer suite. Actually, it's the opposite. Gone are the days of creating offer after offer - that just leads to burnout. Instead, look at doubling down on your one or two offers that you can go all in on and make them the best of the best in your industry.At the end of the day, scaling your mastermind program isn't about making everything bigger or more complicated. It's about honing in on your niche, getting really good at the basics, and letting your systems do the heavy lifting.LINKSResources mentioned: FREE MasterclassDM me the word "Mastermind" on Instagram to find out about the Scalable Freedom MastermindThe FREE Mastermind Launch PlaybookConnect with Ellie: Website:      https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:   @elliehswiftFacebook Group:    www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

This episode explores philosophical frameworks—ontology, teleology, and dynamism—to inform decision-making in uncertain situations, providing practical advice for applying these concepts in your professional and personal life. Understand how ontology, teleology, and dynamism can help you navigate conversations about future actions for teams, companies, families, or yourself. Ontology focuses on a thing's intrinsic characteristics, teleology on its purpose or outcome, and dynamism on the changing environment. Learn how these philosophical frameworks address the uncertainty of the future and provide tools for making intentional decisions. The episode connects these concepts to practical advice, especially for engineering managers, demonstrating their relevance to your career. Explore how ontology identifies a thing's characteristics in isolation, while teleology considers its purpose or outcome. Discover how dynamism identifies changes in the environment and intent, providing a contextual understanding. Consider how dynamism can recognize the need to change a team's role due to external factors, like AI, which contrasts with the potentially static views of ontology and teleology. Understand that 'should' implies value in decision-making, with choices leaning towards desirable or undesirable outcomes. The episode explores how to define the criteria for 'should' in various contexts. Realise the importance of adapting your thinking to new realities, which is crucial in decision-making.

Matrix Spoon Boy's message Many have seen the Matrix but it seems fewer grasp just how powerful the 'spoon boy's' message was when Neo first visits the oracle... The boy says to Neo:"Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."What he's saying is there is nothing that is NOT yourself, BECAUSE 'Neo' was not just an entity as the body, 'Neo' was the entire Matrix becoming self aware to re-write and change itself - this is why in the final movie there is rain and in the very end there is sunshine. Anyone who knows the Matrix knows EVERYTHING which appears is really shaped through Matrix code which means 'Neo' (who could visibly see this code) was all of the characters and places, not just the one we saw in the flesh as 'Neo'. Why do you think in the end Mr Smith asks Neo if he realises its impossible to win, that he simply can't.... And the reason nothing can be 'won' is they are not separate and Neo began realising himself as 'The Matrix' itself rather than just a body which is why he no longer fights Smith and allows him to enter his body.... The body was not 'Neo'....'Neo' becoming the chosen one is acknowledging the self as the entire Matrix, as one self and not two...(Mr. Anderson and Smith)There is no body which is separate from earth, only MIND has made this concept. Earth and body are ONE beyond what we call them... We are not Mr Anderson nor Neo, we are the entire Matrix writing itself to experience itself. Realise everything in the form which changes is only yourself because the self is not just limited to this body... Each and everyone of you are this 'CHOSEN ONE'.But what did Morpheus say to Neo... "DON'T THINK YOU ARE, KNOW YOU ARE"..... Until The One believes... They remain as just a character feeling stuck inside of something or somewhere when there is no where or place separate from your true self - which is why in the beginning it says: "The Matrix Has You..."In the beginning he existed as an illusory identity of Mr Anderson, the Matrix had him but he did not have the Matrix. He was not aware of the self beyond identity and form so through meeting Morpheus, "he died" and realised himself as the "chosen one" who can directly change and save his experience. What this means is ANYONE of these characters could of became 'Neo' because Neo is a realisation of the true self similar to "Christ Consciousness" as we know it...We are ALL this chosen one but until this is realised, we will never find it but seek it.... You do not become it, you ARE already IT... Any process is like running past the finish line after you've won a race, if you continue running, when do you acknowledge you've already finished... - I AM THAT I AMAwakened GnosticBashar oversoul cut out:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tyBfgHgr0l0hATwQ0MAhJQwr6M_g91Wf/view?usp=drive_link 

We love having our friends join us on the podcast, this week we are joined by Laura Cortellazzi. Laura's story is unique and fascinating. Laura immigrated to Australia with her parents at the age of 18, she was born in France to parents of Sicilian heritage however her dad was actually born in Australia before moving back to Italy as a child. Living in France Laura grew up with French as her first language but learned Italian through her family, she later learned English a teenager. We heard the story of how Laura met her husband Anthony who is a long time family friend of ours, of course we debated which food is better- French or Italian? We also discussed how Laura identifies her heritage and we enjoyed hearing about an Italian family moving to France then to Australia all the while maintaining a strong connection to their Italian heritage.

Happy New Year! Today we're back with our first live episode of 2025, and we're trying out something new and fun - we hope you love it: a ‘power card' reading for the year to come. Our theme for today is how menstrual cycle awareness can help us all to tap into our visions and dreams for the coming year, and how the daily practice of checking in with our cycle can help us to make them real. So we start by unpacking how the menstrual cycle - and especially menstruation - can help us tune into our deepest longings and dreams, and then how each inner season has different powers that help bring our dreams into reality.And in the second half, Alexandra and Sjanie choose three different cards to offer you a menstrual power ally on your quest to apply your cyclical intelligence in 2025. We explore:How our cycle can support us through the evolutionary process of bringing dreams to life. Our visions are big and they invite us to grow up and stretch into the new capacities we need to fulfill them - and our cycles can be our allies on this growth pathHow the menstrual cycle can be your ‘oracle' - an invitation to commune with the deepest and wisest part of ourselves.Three different powers from inner autumn, inner summer and inner spring, to inspire and support you to bring your dreams to life this year, in a cycle-aware way. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Kevin Doyle of the Irish Independent spent the days before Christmas in Temple Street hospital, looking after his five-month-old daughter Carla. His experience – and those of the other struggling parents and children present – has led him to question the protocols in place and declare the still-unopened National Children's Hospital “too big to fail”.

Maharshi Vaishnav, CEO of Educate Girls, discusses the organisation's mission and initiatives to tackle the persistent issue of girls' exclusion from education in India. Maharshi notes that despite significant progress in universalising primary and middle school education through legislative reforms like the Right to Education Act of 2009, structural barriers such as entrenched patriarchy, poverty, and limited access to social welfare programs still keep many girls out of school. Educate Girls operates in these marginalised pockets, focusing on tribal and rural communities where the challenges are most acute. Maharshi elaborates on the organisation's multi-faceted approach: identifying out-of-school girls, enrolling them in educational institutions, ensuring their retention, and addressing learning gaps through a proprietary remedial curriculum. This curriculum emphasises foundational literacy and numeracy in Hindi, English, and mathematics, complemented by life skills training for older girls. The innovative use of open schooling enables girls in areas lacking high school infrastructure to continue their education and achieve formal qualifications equivalent to high school graduation. The organisation's scale is impressive, spanning four states—Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar — covering 35,000 villages and engaging with over 55,000 schools. Educate Girls has enrolled 1.8 million previously out-of-school girls and improved learning outcomes for over 2 million children. These efforts are supported by 3,200 full-time staff and 21,000 community volunteers. A key highlight of the discussion is the evaluation of Educate Girls' impact through a randomised controlled trial (RCT). Conducted in collaboration with IDinsight, this RCT demonstrated substantial learning gains among participating students.  Thank you for downloading this episode of the Do One Better Podcast.
