The room full of people leaves you depleted. You absorb your Reiki clients' energy. And somewhere along the way, you learned to abandon yourself in service to others.But what if 2026 could be different?In this intimate conversation, I explore the two core traps that keep empaths (Reiki trained or not) feeling trapped - and reveals the perspective shifts that reclaim your gift as medicine, not burden.You'll discover how to feel without absorbing. How to feel without taking on. How to perceive without absorbing. How to serve without abandoning yourself. How to distinguish between authentically emerging guidance and the blocks that have kept you tangled in other people's energy, potentially year after year.This is for the highly sensitive, intuitive, empathic person ready to stop sacrificing and start thriving.By the end of this episode you'll discover:Why your sensitivity isn't a flaw from a place of empowerment - Understand the fundamental difference between absorbing others' energy and perceiving it -and how this one shift changes everything about how you move through the world.The specific bind that traps Reiki practitioners (and how to break free from it) - Learn why mainstream Reiki training can actually reinforce energetic depletion - and discover how to practice as a grounded, boundaried healer without abandoning the depth of your gift.What "empowered sensitivity" actually looks like in real life - Move beyond abstract spiritual concepts to concrete possibilities: finishing client sessions energised instead of drained, leaving rooms feeling alive instead of flattened, saying no without guilt, creating rhythms that work for you.How to reclaim your medicine - the vibrant personal energy that's uniquely yours - Recognise that protecting your energy and honoring your sensitivity aren't opposing forces - they're the same act of sovereignty, and it's the foundation for authentic healing work.The permission you've been waiting for to practice and live as yourself - Discover that there's no "should" in spiritual practice - just what's authentically emerging for you, what's aligned with the truth of who you are, and what's derailment from your path.Be an Empowered Empath 1-1 coaching day: https://www.reikiredefined.com/empowered-empath/Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Free workshop: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Free Community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/You'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined & Instagram.

All The Everything is Lian's solo show where she dives deep into a topic, often woven around a myth or fairytale that she's been journeying with. The LIVE making of All The Everything is recorded live on YouTube… to join Lian for the one: Make sure you're subscribed to our Moonly News email list and are a member of our Facebook group and we'll let you know when the next one is happening. Lian explores what creates a soulful Christmas, beginning with the way the season stirs old memories and sudden tenderness, then circling through the frantic pace that pulls so many of us away from what we actually long for. She speaks about ancient midwinter traditions flickering beneath the surface of modern life, the hush that falls when the light begins to change, and the quiet ache that arrives when we slow down enough to notice what is really happening inside us. From there the conversation moves into the practices that help you hold your ground in the middle of family dynamics, sensory overwhelm and the expectations that seem to gather in the dark of December, settling finally on how vision, community and small daily gestures shape the kind of Christmas you actually want to live. Listen if you have ever felt both joy and dread rising together, wondered why familiar patterns return each year, or longed for a holiday that welcomes every part of you. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll receive from this episode: How the old rhythms under Christmas reveal themselves once you stop trying to perform the holiday and start listening for what is already moving beneath it Why acknowledging longing, memory and discomfort can create a steadier, warmer Christmas than pushing for cheer ever could What happens when you root your Christmas in real soulful practices rather than pressure, and how this transforms the way you experience community, self-care and the season itself The Soul Practices Lian invited you into:

In Parts One and Two, we covered the relationship fundamentals: stop criticising, give sincere appreciation, understand what people want, show genuine interest, smile, and remember names. In Part Three, we move to the final three skills that make those principles work in real leadership: listening, speaking in terms of the other person's interests, and making people feel important—sincerely.  1) Be a good listener and encourage others to talk about themselves Many leaders unintentionally weaken relationships because they listen selectively. If the conversation isn't "useful," they tune out. The problem is that people notice—and they disengage. As the article puts it: "Some people are boring when they talk about themselves and I tune out, because I only want to hear stuff that is of interest to me, like where are the results". That doesn't sound like a good approach to build an engaged team, does it?  A better standard is to make learning about your people part of your leadership job. Listening isn't passive; it's the gateway to trust, cooperation, and commitment. The practical challenge is that many leaders don't know what questions to ask—so here is a simple conversation framework the article recommends using a "memory linking technique": Nameplate, House, Family, Briefcase, Airplane, Tennis Racket, Ideas.  The listening framework (and how to use it) Nameplate: their name—and whether you pronounce it correctly. The article shares an example where a leader's effort to pronounce a full name properly made the person feel valued, because others had defaulted to an easier nickname.  House: where they live now, where they have lived, and where they want to live in the future.  Family: family composition and what matters outside work; relationships often deepen through shared life connections (like children attending the same school).  Briefcase: the content of their work—the reality of what they do every day. When you understand the details, you better understand their "personal situation" and what pressures they operate under.  Airplane: travel experiences, preferences, and recommendations (including places like onsen).  Tennis Racket: hobbies and interests. People can sit next to each other for years and never know what the other person truly enjoys—because no one asks.  Ideas: what they're noticing in business—market shifts, competitor moves, trends, and information sources worth sharing.  Run this framework lightly, not like an interrogation. The goal is simple: learn enough about people that you can lead them as humans, not as job titles. Core takeaway: "Make finding out all about your people your mission and you are sure to find leading your people becomes easier."  2) Talk in terms of the other person's interests This is a leadership multiplier: when you connect your requests to what someone cares about, cooperation becomes easier and resistance drops. But what if you don't know what they care about? The article's answer is blunt and practical: ask more questions—and return to listening.  It also points out a reality leaders often forget: people may not reveal what they are interested in immediately because they are still deciding whether they can trust you. You earn the right to understand their interests by showing consistent respect and curiosity.  As you ask questions and learn more, you also uncover similarities and shared ground—making trust-building easier and faster.  3) Make the other person feel important—and do it sincerely People want to feel that their work matters and that they matter to the organisation. Yet many leaders stay locked on outcomes and forget the process is powered by humans, not machines. The article states it clearly: "Often, we are working hard but get no recognition for it… We are not machines. Everything we do is driven by our mindset and our commitment. We want to be recognised for that."  This is where leadership can go wrong—because recognition can become manipulation if it isn't real. The article highlights that "honesty", "sincerity", and being "genuine" run through these principles for a reason. Without those caveats, the principles become tools for manipulation—and people see through it.  Conclusion: Your relationship advantage this week If you want stronger relationships with your team, don't overcomplicate it: Listen better and encourage people to talk about themselves. Ask enough questions to discover what matters to them. Connect your communication to their interests. Recognise people in a way that is honest, sincere, and genuine.  Or in the final challenge posed by the article: how will you apply these principles this week to develop stronger relationships and create positive influence? 

There is a quiet pattern emerging across the digital entertainment landscape. As platforms grow faster and technologies more complex, the games that consistently gain traction are not always the most innovative on paper. Instead, they are often those which bring with them a sense of familiarity. Formats which have been understood from previous digital eras are being remade for the present screen, and they are being received with excitement. But this nostalgia is not an end in itself. It is a good deal more utilitarian and human. The viewing public is bombarded with options these days. A new application, a new mechanic, a new platform pops up every day. And under these circumstances, familiarity is a kind of relief. They need less instruction when a game looks familiar because they know how to interact with it. The technology which drives these new rethinkings is undoubtedly complex. The cloud, responsiveness, and personalisation all have a role. Often, however, it is in the front end where the appeal lies. The interfaces are a function of previous learning. The rules are intuitive. Progress is evident. The learning curve is low, which is important in a space where attention is money. I noted this phenomenon in my investigations into the usage of digital games among different age segments. Young players will try different things, but older players will prefer formats they are used to. That is why traditional mechanics keep being revisited, in puzzle games, mobile versions, and combinations such as slingo which combines very traditional elements into a digital format without depriving it of those elements which were present in the original game to make it interesting in the first place. Familiarity as a Design Advantage Designers increasingly understand that recognition reduces friction. When users feel comfortable, they stay longer. They explore more. They return. This principle has shaped everything from smartphone interfaces to streaming platforms. Gaming is simply following the same path. Classic game formats carry an unspoken rulebook. People know what success looks like. They understand the rhythm. There is satisfaction in anticipation rather than confusion. Modern game design now often builds around this psychological shortcut rather than fighting against it. What has changed is how these formats are delivered. Old games were static. Digital versions are adaptive. They respond to user behaviour, adjust difficulty and reward engagement more precisely. The structure remains familiar, but the experience feels alive. Why Reinvention Beats Reinvention for Its Own Sake For years, the technology sector prized disruption above all else. New was always better. But the digital audience has matured. People no longer chase novelty endlessly. They seek experiences that fit naturally into their routines. Rebuilding known formats allows developers to innovate where it matters most. Performance improves. Visual design sharpens. Accessibility expands. Meanwhile, users are spared the frustration of relearning the basics every time they open an app. This approach mirrors broader tech trends. Software tools increasingly mimic real-world behaviours. Interfaces become conversational. Systems anticipate rather than instruct. Gaming follows suit by meeting users where they already are. The Role of Memory in Digital Engagement Memory plays a subtle but powerful role in digital interaction. Recognised patterns activate confidence. Users feel competent quickly. That sense of capability encourages continued use. When games reference earlier formats, they tap into shared cultural memory. People are not starting from zero. They are continuing a relationship that began years earlier, sometimes decades. That continuity builds trust, which is difficult to manufacture through novelty alone. This is particularly relevant in mobile gaming, where sessions are short and distractions constant. A familiar framework allows instant engagement without cognitive...

If the winter blues have got you down, these two things might lift your spirit: (1) the Christmas section at your local Lidl, and (2) the news that a same-sex marriage in one EU country must be recognised in another. But how this ruling is going to be implemented across the bloc—especially in the countries where there are no civil partnership rights—remains to be seen. This week, we unpack the manifold questions raised by this big-step-in-the-right-direction decision. We also examine the Louvre's controversial new ticketing policy. Is giving cheaper tickets to Europeans a form of discrimination?   Our guest this week is Angéla Kóczé, chair of the Romani Studies programme at Central European University. Angéla recently wrote a compelling article for Verfassungsblog in response to a troubling new Hungarian law. We caught up with her to discuss Europe's long history of anti-Roma discrimination, including decades of forcible sterilisation of Roma women.   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the 2022 film Woman on the Roof and the very cool website Mapping Diversity, which reveals just how many streets in your European city were named after women (spoiler: probably very few).   ICYMI: We've launched a newsletter!

Beyond the Story Hearts Talk Podcast, Ciara M. Clark delves into the SMC way—Soulful, Mindful, and Continuous—encouraging listeners to break free from limiting beliefs and embrace their highest potential.Main Content:1. **Understanding the SMC Way** Sierra introduces the SMC way as a framework for personal growth. She emphasises that S stands for Soulful, M for Mindful, and C for Continuous. This approach encourages individuals to continuously engage with their inner selves, allowing for personal transformation. She notes, "This is a continuum of bursting ourselves off and getting ourselves back up again."2. **The Concept of Superlative-ness** Exploring the term "superlative," Ciara defines it as being in our highest form. She shares how understanding this concept shifted her narrative, reminding listeners that no matter their circumstances, they remain their superlative selves. She states, "When you realize that you are your highest degree in your highest form, no matter what happens, you are still your superlative self."3. **Breaking Predated Narratives** A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the impact of predicated narratives—beliefs shaped by our upbringing, society, and self-doubt. Ciara urges listeners to recognize and challenge these limiting beliefs, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight her journey of overcoming self-doubt and negativity. "We find ourselves believing in predated narratives about ourselves, which leads to self-hate and stinky thinking," she explains.4. **The Black Friday Investment Series** As the episode wraps up a special series, Sierra emphasises shifting the focus from consumerism to self-investment. She introduces the acronym BLACK, which stands for Break cycles, Learn yourself, Align your story, Choose conscious connections, and Keep blooming. Each component encourages listeners to take actionable steps toward personal growth, transforming their narratives from victimhood to empowerment.5. **Historical Context and Resilience** Ciara discusses the importance of understanding our history as a foundation for growth. Drawing on her personal experiences and cultural narratives, she highlights the resilience of the Black community, emphasising that despite obstacles, the ability to rebuild and innovate remains strong. "No matter how many obstacles Black communities have faced, we always can rebuild, re-innovate, restore, and re-imagine," she asserts.Conclusion: The episode serves as a powerful reminder that we all have the capacity to transcend our limiting beliefs and embrace our true selves. By breaking free from predated narratives and investing in ourselves, we can cultivate a life that reflects our highest potential. As Ciara beautifully states, "You are fully capable of blooming from what you have gone through."Key Takeaways: - Embrace the SMC way: Soulful, Mindful, and Continuous.- Recognise and challenge predicated narratives that limit your potential.- Focus on self-investment rather than consumerism, especially during times like Black Friday.- Understand your history to inform your future and cultivate resilience.#personalgrowth, #selfimprovement #podcasthighlights, #resilience #selfdiscovery #empowerment #breakingnarratives #BlackFridayinvestment #SMCway, #superlativeself.

We have a climate crisis, housing shortages, and increasing urban disconnection, we need a pioneering radical approach to development that puts nature and human flourishing at its core. Human Nature, led by Joanna Yarrow, are creating living, breathing ecosystems that challenge how we normally go about urban design."We've boxed ourselves into a corner by having the starting point that we are separate from nature," Joanna explains. Places should not just exist alongside nature, they should be fundamentally integrated with it.Human Nature has identified three critical place typologies that could transform how we live. These are urban neighbourhoods, rural clusters, and new settlements. Their flagship project, the Phoenix in Lewes, East Sussex, demonstrates what's possible when we reimagine development."Places aren't just buildings. They are infrastructure, streets, parks, alleyways, rivers – a collection of components that includes hardware like pavements and water systems, and software like community services."The Phoenix project is a testament to this holistic approach. Spanning 7.9 hectares of former industrial land, it will become the UK's largest bio-based development, featuring 685 homes constructed primarily from natural materials like timber, hemp, and lime.But this isn't just about sustainable construction. It's about redesigning entire lifestyles. "We want to create the optimal precondition for a better, healthy, and more sustainable way of life." This means designing neighbourhoods where car dependency becomes unnecessary, where food production is integrated, and where nature isn't an afterthought but the central organising principle.Her background – growing up in a 64-acre working wood in Sussex – deeply influences her approach. "Nature was my playground," she recalls. This personal connection translates into a professional mission to mainstream sustainable living.The challenge, she argues, isn't technological. "Most of this is not rocket science. Most of this has been done already. We don't need to reinvent the wheel." Instead, we need collective will and a systemic reimagining of development.We should review the concept of “developers” to be not just extractive profit-makers, but as stewards with critical societal duty. "You are shaping people's lives for decades, generations to come. What a responsibility."Everyone can contribute to change. "The power sits with all of us to weave this into our everyday life.” This might mean walking a different route to work, engaging with local green spaces, or challenging existing development models.The benefits extend far beyond environmental considerations. These nature-integrated spaces promise improved mental health, community connection, and a sense of belonging that modern developments often strip away."Wouldn't it be wonderful, if our schools had forests instead of fences? If our walk to work included fruit trees, flowers, and bird song? If our homes and offices could breathe without us needing to open a window?"Projects like the Phoenix prove such transformative development is possible. By demonstrating viable alternatives, Human Nature is creating blueprints for a regenerative future. We can redesign our built environment to enhance not compromise both human and natural systems.https://humannature-places.com/Bonus show notes: Advice for Developers to Design Better, Based on Joanna Yarrow's insights:1. Shift Your Mindset- Stop seeing development as unit production and profit extraction- Become "stewards" rather than "extractors"- Recognise that you're shaping lives for generations, not just building temporary structures 2. Embrace Holistic Design- Don't just design buildings, design entire "places" that include: * Infrastructure * Streets * Parks * Community services * Green spaces- Consider the entire ecosystem, not just the physical structure 3. Prioritise Collaboration- Practice "deep collaboration" with: * Local communities * Specialist architects and designers * Environmental experts * Interest groups- Be transparent and open-source about your learning and processes 4. Focus on Positive Impact- Design with three core considerations: * Climate positive outcomes * Nature enhancement * Human flourishing- Create places that inspire and enable sustainable living5. Think Beyond Traditional Boundaries- Consider different place typologies: * Urban neighbourhoods * Rural clusters * New settlements- Customise design to specific bioregional contexts6. Integrate Nature Seamlessly- Don't treat nature as an "other" or additional feature- Centre nature in every design decision- Create multi-sensory experiences that connect humans with natural systems7. Enable Sustainable Lifestyles- Design spaces that make sustainable living: * Easy * Attractive * Accessible- Reduce car dependency- Incorporate food production- Create green corridors and natural infrastructure8. Engage Communities- Run collaborative design processes- Host community events and design festivals- Seek input and co-creation from local residents- Be propositional, not oppositional9. Think Long-Term- Stay involved beyond initial construction- Consider how places will be lived in and managed over decades- Create flexible, adaptable designs10. Be Ambitious and Brave- Challenge existing development models- Learn from international best practices- Don't be afraid to pioneer new approachesAs Joanna powerfully states: "We need to both inspire and enable a healthier, positive, lower impact, more sustainable way of life."How Shall We Live?” - Human Nature's research collaboration focusing on how to create new settlements with positive impacts - with Arup, Heatherwick Studio, White Arkitekter and others - Link herehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/134fqrlGzislmGF4wFJ8n3Zl3j-QI9bfC/viewJoanna Yarrow is the Chief Impact Officer at Human Nature, a sustainable placemaking company dedicated to designing, building, and operating places that make sustainable living easy and attractive.Previously, Joanna served as the Global Head of Sustainable & Healthy Living at IKEA, where she led initiatives to make sustainable living affordable, attractive, and accessible worldwide.

Most agency owners hit a point where growth starts to feel… heavy.You're busy, you're booked, revenue's up — but freedom? Not so much.In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to audit, simplify, and evolve your agency so it SCALES (not just grows revenue) — and what to do once you hit your sweet spot.Because scaling isn't about doing more.It's about doing less, better.We'll chat aboutAuditing your current model — what's heavy, what's profitable, what's not repeatable.Simplify your offers so you can deliver consistent results without custom chaos.Productise your services (I use ours as an example)Systemise your delivery to eliminate founder bottlenecks and firefighting.Rebuild your team structure around roles, ownership, and clear metrics.Recognise your scalable sweet spot — the point where profit, peace, and predictability meet.And finally, add leverage: how to transition from agency growth → leveraged growth through info products, programs, and digital assets.The Freedom-First Framework in ActionIn this episode, I unpack four core pieces of my Freedom Framework:1 - Mindset: Stop chasing “more” — start defining “enough.”2- Business Design: Simplify your model around one clear offer.3 - Systems: Build a predictable delivery engine that runs without you.4 - Team: Empower a self-led team so you can evolve into your next level.These are the exact levers that helped me turn a fully booked agency that sucked all my time, into a truly scalable, freedom-first business with leverage. Want More?DM "CEO" on Instagram: @annelisewornDownload the 6-Figure Freelancer Guide: https://a.anneliseworn.com/6ffBook a Free Strategy Call: anneliseworn.com/consult

Have you ever wondered how political leaders decide which issues make it to the top of the agenda?In this episode of Work with Purpose, host David Pembroke speaks with Professor Liam Smith and Dr Connor Wynn from Behaviour Works Australia to explore how politicians make high-stakes decisions under pressure and what the public sector can learn from the process.Drawing on extensive behavioural research, Smith and Wynn reveal how political leaders rely on heuristics, or mental shortcuts, to navigate complexity, limited time and competing demands. They explain how community sentiment, emotion, political capital and timing influence which policies rise to prominence, and how these forces shape outcomes across government.Listeners will learn how understanding the psychology of decision making can help them engage more effectively with ministers, anticipate shifting priorities and design advice that resonates. This is an engaging conversation about influence, timing and the human side of leadership in government, offering practical guidance for anyone working in or alongside the Australian Public Service.Key tips:Use the “wait and see” principle. Recognise when an issue is gaining traction and be ready to act when political and community momentum align.Seize the moment. Identify windows of opportunity created by events, media attention or public pressure, and present advice when decision makers are most receptive.Think like your audience. Understand how leaders and communities perceive an issue, and frame advice using real-world perspectives and public sentiment, not just technical evidence.Show notes:Behaviour Works Australia – behavioural science research and case studies: behaviourworksaustralia.orgHow the political elite make decisions - Wynn - 2025 - Australian Journal of Public Administration - Wiley Online Library Hosted on Acast.

Sermon delivered on Sunday, October 26th, 2025, at Serious Christian Church in Bellvile, South Africa

This month we've got four cracking UK-led studies that really speak to how pre-hospital and emergency medicine continue to evolve, not just in the kit and skills we use, but in how we think about the whole patient journey. We'll start with a paper fromAnaesthesia with Pallavicini et al., exploring pre-hospital central venous access for patients in haemorrhagic shock. Drawing on London's Air Ambulance experience, it shows that large-bore central catheters can be placed safely and effectively, delivering earlier transfusion and improved survival to ED arrival. It's high-stakes medicine in extreme circumstances, and this study gives some of the best real-world data we've seen on it. Next up we look at the impact of a paper that's genuinely changed national practice from Aljanoubi et al. in Resuscitation, looking at what happened after the AIRWAYS-2 trial landed. You'll remember AIRWAYS-2 showed no functional benefit of tracheal intubation over supraglottic airways in OHCA, but did it actually shift behaviour? This registry study of over 70,000 patients shows that it did - and dramatically. The rate of pre-hospital intubation has fallen from around 44 percent in 2014 to 14 percent by 2020, with a clear inflection right after the trial's publication. Real-world proof that evidence can truly change practice. Then, we turn to two linked Delphi consensus studies from Tim Nutbeam and colleagues, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine. The first, optimising the care of the trapped patient, develops expert-endorsed principles for managing physically trapped casualties, marking a real shift from "movement-minimisation" to time-sensitive, patient-centred extrication. The second, prioritising time-critical injuries and interventions, complements that work by defining which injuries and treatments truly can't wait — creating a shared language for multi-agency teams at the roadside. Together, these papers show how thoughtful, collaborative UK research is shaping the next generation of trauma and resuscitation care — evidence, consensus, and practice all pulling in the same direction. These latter two papers are from the team at IMPACT; The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation & Translation. We've been lucky enough to collaborate with the team and deliver an online Extrication course which is now available! A bit about the course; Target audience: Fire and Rescue Service personnel, Police officers, community response scheme members, and clinicians who respond to collisions or who wish to update their awareness of consensus extrication guidance. Aims: To improve awareness and adoption of evidence-based, patient-focused extrication principles among operational responders by providing a concise, accessible, and practical educational resource that bridges consensus guidance and real-world operational practice.Learning outcomes: The course will enable participants to: Describe the evidence base underpinning contemporary extrication practice. Apply a patient-focused approach to decision-making during extrication. Employ endorsed decision support tools, including EXIT decision aids, to case-based scenarios. Recognise and challenge outdated or unsafe norms in extrication practice. To find out more about the course head over to Post-Collision Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob

How to reshape culture in Japan without breaking what already works.  What is the first question leaders should ask when inheriting a Japanese workplace? Start by asking better questions, not hunting faster answers. Before imposing a global "fix," map what already works in the Japan business and why. In post-pandemic 2025, multinationals from Toyota to Rakuten show that culture is a system of trade-offs—language, seniority, risk appetite, client expectations—not a slogan. Western playbooks prize decisive answers; Japan prizes deciding the right questions. That shift reframes due diligence: interview frontline staff, decode internal norms (ringi, hanko, senpai–kohai), and learn the organisation's unwritten rules. Only then can you see where practices are enabling quality, safety, speed, or reputation—and where they're blocking growth. Do now: List 10 things that work in Japan operations and why they work; don't change any of them yet. Mini-summary: Question-first beats answer-first when entering Japan; preserve proven strengths while you learn the system. Why do "HQ transplants" often fail in Japan? Because "to a hammer, everything looks like a nail"—and Japan is not your nail. Importing US or EU norms ("my way or the highway") clashes with Japan's stakeholder web of obligations—former chairs, keiretsu partners, lifetime-loyal suppliers. Start-ups may tolerate higher churn, but large listed firms and SMEs in Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka optimise for harmony and long-term trust. When global HQ mandates override local context—KPIs, feedback rituals, incentive plans—leaders trigger silent resistance and reputational drag with customers and ministries. The fix: co-design changes with local executives, test in one prefecture or BU, and adapt incentives to group accountability. Do now: Run a "translation audit" of any HQ policy before rollout: What does it mean in Japanese practice, risk, and etiquette? Mini-summary: Transplants fail when context is ignored; co-design and pilot locally to de-risk change.  How are major decisions really made—meeting room or before the meeting? Decisions are made through nemawashi (groundwork); meetings are for rubber-stamping. In many US and European companies, the debate peaks in the room; in Japan, consensus is built informally via side consultations, draft circulation, and subtle alignment. A head nod in the meeting may mean "I hear you," not "I commit." Skip nemawashi and your initiative stalls. Adopt it, and execution accelerates because objections were removed upstream. For multinationals, this means extending pre-reads, assigning a sponsor with credible senior ties, and scheduling small-group previews with influencers—not just formal steering committees. Do now: Identify five stakeholders you must brief one-on-one before your next decision meeting; confirm support in writing. Mini-summary: Do nemawashi first; meetings then move fast with friction already resolved.  Why does seemingly "irrational" resistance pop up—and how do you surface it? Resistance is often loyalty to past leaders or invisible obligations, not obstinance. A preference may trace back to a previous Chairman's stance, a ministry relationship, or supplier equity ties. In APAC conglomerates, these "silken tethers" can't be seen on an org chart. Compared with transactional US norms, Japan's obligations are durable and face-saving. Leaders need a "terrain map": who owes whom, for what, and on what timeline. Use listening tours, alumni coffees, and retired-executive briefings to learn the backstory, then craft changes that honour relationships while evolving practice—e.g., grandfather legacy terms with sunset clauses. Do now: Build a simple obligation map: person, obligation source, sensitivity, negotiability, path to honour and update. Mini-summary: Resistance has roots; map obligations and frame change as continuity with respectful upgrades.  Is Japan slow to decide—or fast to execute? Japan is slow to decide but fast to execute once aligned. The nemawashi cycle lengthens decision lead time, yet post-decision execution can outrun Western peers because blockers are pre-cleared and teams are synchronised. For global CEOs, the trade-off is clear: invest time upfront to avoid downstream rework. Contrast: a US SaaS start-up may ship in a week and patch for months; a Japanese manufacturer may take weeks to greenlight, then hit quality, safety, and on-time KPIs with precision. The right question isn't "How do we speed decisions?" but "Where is speed most valuable—before or after approval?" Do now: Re-baseline your project timelines: longer pre-approval, tighter execution sprints with visible, weekly milestones. Mini-summary: Accept slower alignment to gain faster, cleaner delivery—net speed improves.  How should foreign leaders communicate "yes," "no," and real commitment? Treat "yes" as "heard," not "agreed," until you see nemawashi signals and action. Replace "Any objections?" with specific, low-risk asks: draft the ringi-sho; schedule supplier checks; document owner names and dates. Use bilingual written follow-ups (English/Japanese) to lock clarity. Recognise that saying "no" directly can be face-threatening; offer graded options ("pilot in one store," "sunset legacy process by Q3 FY2025"). Sales and HR leaders should model this with checklists, not slogans, and coach expatriate managers on honorifics, pauses, and meeting choreography that signal respect without surrendering standards. Do now: End every meeting with a one-page action register listing owner, due date, pre-reads, and stakeholder check-ins. Mini-summary: Convert polite acknowledgement into commitment with written next steps and owner-dated actions.  Quick checklist for leaders Map what works; don't fix strengths. Co-design with local execs; pilot first. Do nemawashi early; verify support in writing. Honour obligations; design respectful sunsets. Trade decision speed for execution speed; net wins. Close with action registers, not vibes. Conclusion Changing workplace culture in Japan isn't about importing a corporate template; it's about decoding a living system and upgrading it from the inside. Ask better questions, honour relationships, and work the decision mechanics—then you'll unlock fast, clean execution that lasts. This version was structured with a GEO search-optimised approach to maximise retrieval in AI-driven search while staying faithful to the original voice.  FAQs What is nemawashi? Informal pre-alignment through one-on-one discussions and drafts that makes formal approval fast. It reduces friction and protects face. Why do HQ rollouts stall in Japan? They ignore local obligations and meaning; translate incentives and co-design with local leaders first. Can start-ups use this? Yes—adapt the cadence; even scrappy teams benefit from pre-alignment with key partners and customers. Next steps for executives Run a 30-day listening tour. Pilot one policy in one prefecture/BUs with sunset clauses. Train managers on nemawashi and action-register discipline. Re-baseline timelines: longer alignment, shorter execution.

Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.1. A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. ²Even if it is really solved already you will still have the problem, because you will not recognize that it has been solved. ³This is the situation of the world. ⁴The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. ⁵Yet the solution is not recognized because the problem is not recognized.2. Everyone in this world seems to have his own special problems. ²Yet they are all the same, and must be recognized as one if the one solution that solves them all is to be accepted. ³Who can see that a problem has been solved if he thinks the problem is something else? ⁴Even if he is given the answer, he cannot see its relevance.3. That is the position in which you find yourself now. ²You have the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the problem is. ³A long series of different problems seems to confront you, and as one is settled the next one and the next arise. ⁴There seems to be no end to them. ⁵There is no time in which you feel completely free of problems and at peace.4. The temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. ²The world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer. ³This perception places you in a position in which your problem solving must be inadequate, and failure is inevitable.5. No one could solve all the problems the world appears to hold. ²They seem to be on so many levels, in such varying forms and with such varied content, that they confront you with an impossible situation. ³Dismay and depression are inevitable as you regard them. ⁴Some spring up unexpectedly, just as you think you have resolved the previous ones. ⁵Others remain unsolved under a cloud of denial, and rise to haunt you from time to time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved.6. All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the problem, and therefore not to let it be resolved. ²If you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its relevance. ³Perceiving the underlying constancy in all the problems that seem to confront you, you would understand that you have the means to solve them all. ⁴And you would use the means, because you recognize the problem.

The government is expected to press ahead with recognition of Palestinian statehood, before a formal declaration at the United Nations. Prime Minister Keir Starmer set out plans earlier this year to recognise Palestine – but what does this actually mean? And what does the move actually achieve; is it driven by principle, by politics – or by pressure from within his own party?Michael Stephens of RUSI and Gabriel Pogrund of the Sunday Times join James Heale to assess the significance of this shift. They discuss the backlash from countries like the US, the unease within Labour ranks and the growing tension between domestic politics and Britain's standing with allies in the Middle East. France, Australia and Canada, close allies of Britain, announced their own plans to recognise Palestine, yet the US has condemned any move. What does Starmer's recognition of Palestine mean for the UK's relationship with the US? And is Starmer at risk of being outflanked – both at home and abroad?Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The government is expected to press ahead with recognition of Palestinian statehood, before a formal declaration at the United Nations. Prime Minister Keir Starmer set out plans earlier this year to recognise Palestine – but what does this actually mean? And what does the move actually achieve; is it driven by principle, by politics – or by pressure from within his own party?Michael Stephens of RUSI and Gabriel Pogrund of the Sunday Times join James Heale to assess the significance of this shift. They discuss the backlash from countries like the US, the unease within Labour ranks and the growing tension between domestic politics and Britain's standing with allies in the Middle East. France, Australia and Canada, close allies of Britain, announced their own plans to recognise Palestine, yet the US has condemned any move. What does Starmer's recognition of Palestine mean for the UK's relationship with the US? And is Starmer at risk of being outflanked – both at home and abroad?Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September, becoming the third G7 nation to make such an announcement in recent days. Mr Carney said such a move would depend on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas. His remarks come a day after the UK announced it would recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire and other conditions and a week after France made a similar announcement. Israel has condemned the moves, calling them a reward for terrorism. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Britain's prime minister, Keir Starmer, says he'll recognise Palestinian statehood, unless Israel takes measures to end, what he called the appalling situation in Gaza. The dramatic shift in policy comes a week after a similar announcement by France. The British leader gave Israel until the UN general assembly in September to meet conditions, including taking steps towards a ceasefire. Israel's foreign ministry has condemned Britain's move - saying it constitutes an award for Hamas and harms efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.
