Podcasts about recognising

Our guest in this episode is Jennifer K. Hill, an exited founder and tech CEO who is now cracking the code of human connection through her company, OptiMatch. Her mission was born from what she calls "survival," a personal journey to understand herself after realising she was the "common denominator" in her own relational breakdowns.In our wonderful chat, Jennifer shares her master blueprint for building high-trust relationships, the "Golden Triangle of Connection," and provides an arsenal of practical tools for emotional resilience. Key points discussed include:* True connection begins with yourself; you're the common denominator in all of your relationships.* Understand others' core motivations to speak a language they can hear, preventing communication breakdowns.* Use practical tools to regulate your nervous system, allowing your adult self to lead, not your inner child.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Hill to the InnovaBuzz podcast, an exited founder and tech CEO who is now on a mission to crack the code of human connection. Her journey is a fascinating one, not born from a lofty academic theory, but forged in the fires of personal experience. As Jennifer so candidly shared, her deep dive into the mechanics of trust and relationships began as an act of pure "survival."What unfolded was a powerful conversation about her master blueprint for connection, a framework she calls the Golden Triangle. It's a roadmap that starts in the one place many of us are afraid to look: ourselves. Jennifer's story is a profound reminder that before we can build bridges to others or to a greater purpose, we must first learn to navigate our own inner landscape with courage and compassion.The Common Denominator: Your First and Most Important RelationshipOne of the most powerful moments in our chat was when Jennifer described her ultimate "light bulb" moment. After years of broken relationships and communication breakdowns in every area of her life, she finally asked the hard question and came to a stunningly simple conclusion: "The common denominator? Me." That single realisation sparked a two-decade journey inward and became the bedrock of her work.This is the first corner of her Golden Triangle: a deep, unwavering connection to self. Jennifer argues that without this foundation, we will always feel a void, leaving us to seek validation and energy from others. True intimacy with our partners, our teams, and our purpose can only be built once we've done the deep work of understanding our own motivations, triggers, and blind spots.Are You a Leche or an Apple? Speaking a Language Others Can HearOnce we begin to understand ourselves, we can start to truly understand others. Jennifer has translated her intuitive gift for reading people into a remarkable technology called OptiMatch, which identifies our primary motivators using memorable fruit archetypes. Are you a "Leche," driven by achievement and needing information in three quick bullet points? Or are you an "Apple," who thrives on data and needs to see all fifty points of research?These differences aren't a matter of someone being difficult or "misbehaving;" it's simply about learning to "speak each other's language." Jennifer shared a brilliant example of two co-founders who were struggling until they realised this. By learning to speak into the other person's listening, they transformed their dynamic from one of friction to one of flow, a lesson that applies to every boardroom and every family dinner table.The Unseen Saboteur: Why You Need to Master "Transition Time"Sometimes the biggest breakdowns come from the smallest misunderstandings. Jennifer shared a deeply personal story about "transition time," a concept she learned from her mentor, Alison Armstrong. She described how her ex-husband would come home from work and need a period to decompress, a need she, in her excitement to connect, would completely miss. His silence felt like a rejection, leading her to become "passive aggressive" and withhold affection.This dynamic is a silent saboteur in countless relationships. Recognising that some people, regardless of gender, need time to transition between tasks or environments is a simple but revolutionary act of empathy. It's about giving grace and understanding that someone's need for a quiet moment isn't a personal slight, but a fundamental aspect of how they're wired.Don't Burn the House Down: Practical Tools for Taming Your AmygdalaWhen we feel slighted or triggered, our primitive brain, the amygdala, takes over. As Jennifer so vividly put it, in those moments of anger, she was ready to "dissolve the company, light the thing on fire and burn everything to the ground." To avoid this, we need practical tools to regulate our nervous system and get our rational brain back online, allowing us to be responsive instead of reactive.Jennifer has an arsenal of over 180 of these tools, and she shared a few of her favourites, from HeartMath's heart-focused breathing to the simple yet profound questions of the Sedona Method. These aren't complex, time-consuming practices; they are in-the-moment techniques you can use with your eyes open during a tense meeting to quiet the alarm bells in your brain and choose a more constructive path.The Inner Child Running the BoardroomSo why do we get triggered in the first place? Jennifer offered a stunningly clear explanation: most of the time, our conflicts are not being waged by our adult selves. Instead, "we are a 4-year-old and a 3-year-old being like, you can't make me, you suck!" It's our unhealed inner children, desperate for love and acceptance, who are running the show and causing the chaos.The antidote is what she calls "Inner Child Work." This is the secret sauce: learning to talk to that little one within you, giving yourself the love, safety, and acceptance you've been trying to get from everyone else. When you can do that, you stop taking that neediness into your relationships, and your competent, 44-year-old self can finally run the meeting.Humanizing Our Future: A Pragmatic Optimist's Take on AIOur conversation fittingly concluded by looking at the future of connection in the age of technology. As a "pragmatic optimist," Jennifer sees a powerful opportunity to "humanize AI" by always putting the "human first, tech second." She believes that far from replacing us, AI can be an incredible ally on our journey of self-discovery.Imagine having a companion you can talk to without any fear of judgment, a tool that can help you understand your own patterns and reflect on your feelings in a completely safe space. When we approach it with intention, technology doesn't have to be a force for disconnection; it can become one of the most powerful tools we have for building a deeper relationship with ourselves.In Summary: Jennifer K. Hill provides a masterclass in building a more connected life, starting from the inside out. Her message is clear: when we have the courage to see ourselves as the common denominator, learn to speak the language of others, and do the work to heal our inner child, we can transform every relationship we have—with ourselves, each other, and our purpose in the world.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Jennifer's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships: AI can provide non-judgmental companionship, creating a safe space for people to share their feelings without fear of being judged.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection: Jennifer used AI to create an animated short film from her narrated children's book, allowing her to share a message of connection with kids and adults worldwide.* Differentiate by leveraging AI: Use AI as a real-time assistant to outsource administrative tasks, freeing up your time to focus on the joyful, high-impact human interactions that truly matter.ActionGo to OM.app/survey and take the free OptiMatch survey to discover how you are motivated and find out if you are a leche, apple, mango, or parrot.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Jennifer by visiting OM.app to take her free assessment or by connecting with her on LinkedIn (be sure to mention this podcast episode).

The move to recognise Palestine as a state is growing traction, with Australia joining France, Canada and others in backing the idea at the United Nations General Assembly next month. Our Government's confirmed its weighing its position on recognition and will decide in the next month. Prime Minster Chris Luxon has described the situation in Gaza as an "absolute human catastrophe". Dr. Maria Armoudian, who is an associate professor in politics and international relations at Auckland University, joins Jesse to discuss.

The government has announced it is 'considering' recognising Palestinian statehood, and will deliberate over the next month before taking its decision to the United Nations General Assembly. Australia has gone a step further, at almost exactly the same time Winston Peters set out New Zealand's intentions, Anthony Albanese held a press conference, confirming Australia will recognise Palestine at UNGA. Political reporter Giles Dexter spoke to Lisa Owen.

New Zealand is fast becoming one of the last western democracies to recognise Palestine as a state, after Australia announced on Monday it would. Former Prime Minister Helen Clark spoke to Corin Dann.

Why are the UK, France and Canada finally recognising a Palestinian state? Why is Trump punishing Brazil, India, and Switzerland with tariffs? Should Starmer's Labour be less cautious and more populist in the way it communicates with the country? Join Rory and Alastair as they answer all these questions and more.

If reports are correct, Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu wants to expand the war in Gaza so his forces fully occupy the strip. As international outrage grows about the devastation and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, could more countries recognising a Palestinian state make a difference? France, Canada and the UK are trying to pressure Israel by announcing plans to do so in the coming months and Australia could join them at some point.Today, Guy Ziv, associate professor at American University's School of International Service on what recognising statehood means and the elusive two-state solution in the Middle East. Featured: Guy Ziv, associate professor in the School of International Services at the American University and associate director of the university's Center for Israel Studies

Claire Hanna, leader of the SDLP party in Northern Ireland, on the announcement by the UK Prime Minister to recognise the State of Palestine, unless a ceasefire is agreed in Gaza

The UK government will recognise Palestine as a state in September, unless Israel meets certain conditions to ease the situation in Gaza. But what would statehood mean?

Wider global recognition of Palestine is within sight - but it's unclear how much weight that will carry. The UK and France plan to join many national already recognising Palestinian statehood in September, unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire. Our Government has joined others supporting a two-state solution and is open to recognising Palestine - in time. Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa chair, John Minto, says Israel has made it almost impossible to form a Palestinian state. "All Palestinians have got left is a piece of Swiss cheese, so you've got all of these Israeli settlements on their land connected by roads which Palestinians are not allowed to drive on."

Surah al-Ḥujurāt Begins!السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُWe've kicked off Term 3 of the BeQuranic journey, and this term we'll be diving into Surah al-Ḥujurāt — a short but deeply powerful surah, full of lessons on adab, respect, and community.This week, we're beginning slowly and deliberately with just the first two ayāt. Why? Because each line is loaded with both tajwīd gems and practical life reminders — so we want to sit with them, reflect, and read with clarity.Tajwīd Highlights This WeekWe started by revising two key etiquette phrases that open every recitation:* Al-Isti‘ādhah: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ* Basmalah: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِFrom there, we explored several tajwīd rules in-depth:* Madd Jā'iz Munfaṣil: Appears in phrases like “يَا أَيُّهَا”, requiring a 4-beat stretch.* Lafdh al-Jalālah (اللَّه): Read heavy if preceded by a fatḥah or ḍammah, light if preceded by a kasrah.* Ghunna with Shaddah: Don't cut the ghunna short in phrases like “إِنَّ اللَّهَ” — stretch it with intent.* Idh-hār with ḥalqī letters: Recognising throat letters (ع، ح، غ، خ، ه، ء) helps avoid nasalisation where it doesn't belong.* Rules of Rā': When to read it heavy vs. light depending on the vowel before it.We also worked through tricky sections like:يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِوَلَا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍYour Assignment This WeekWith only two ayāt, the focus is on smoothness and mastery.Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.Break the verses down into parts, repeat them until you hit fluency, and pay attention to where you stumble. Work on those sections. Aim to iron out the kinks.Even if you stutter — don't be discouraged. The Prophet ﷺ said the one who struggles with Qur'an gets double the reward. But don't settle. Keep refining.See You ThursdayOn Tafsīr Thursday, we'll explore the meanings of these two opening ayāt: how they set the tone for respectful interaction with Allah and His Messenger ﷺ — and with one another.Until then — rehearse, reflect, and get ready.وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ This is a public episode.

Professor Reba Parker In this conversation, Reba discusses the concept of peace, breaking it down into three essential ingredients.

This week I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our brains handle ambiguity, why fear of making mistakes can keep us stuck, and how intolerance of uncertainty feeds into hoarding behaviours. We break down practical ways to build up your tolerance for not knowing and share some strategies that might actually make a difference.

Difference between cognitive closure (psychological need for definite answers) and “closure” in pop culture (emotional resolution) How it relates to need for certainty in present/future, not just past events The creation of cognitive closure measurement scales by researchers Factors influencing need for cognitive closure: Personality traits: Conscientiousness, neuroticism (now called emotionality), openness to experience, extroversion Trauma history and its effects on the nervous system Neurodivergence (with emphasis on autism and “sticky thinking”) Combination of personality, trauma, and neurodivergence Intolerance of Uncertainty Psychological definition of intolerance of uncertainty Negative cognitive bias: How it affects perception and response Manifestations in people experiencing uncertainty as distress Its direct relevance to hoarding behaviours The Link Between Hoarding Disorder and Intolerance of Uncertainty Research findings: intolerance of uncertainty as a predictor of hoarding symptom severity Usefulness in early intervention strategies intolerance of uncertainty as a transdiagnostic factor (across anxiety, some depression, and other mental health conditions) How heightened anxiety sensitivity in hoarding perpetuates avoidance Experiential avoidance in hoarding (saving and acquiring behaviours) Connection between maladaptive behaviours and intolerance of uncertainty Fear of Making Mistakes and Perfectionism Common fears of mistakes in hoarding (disposing, acquiring, putting things away) Perfectionism's role (fear of failure, not wasting) All-or-nothing thinking and rigid decision-making rules Paralysing effect of avoidance due to fear of mistakes Not making a decision as a potential mistake itself Interaction and reinforcement between perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty Comorbidity and Severity Research on multiple diagnoses: More than half of psychiatric patients have more than one diagnosis Diagnostic challenges and overlapping criteria How comorbidity compounds issues: More symptoms and more complexity Higher intolerance of uncertainty linked with more severe hoarding, especially when other conditions are present Impact on treatment difficulty intolerance of uncertainty's Impact on Acquiring and Discarding Behaviours How acquiring reduces fear of missing out and future needs Difficulty discarding as protection against future regret Shame around mistake-making Common inner questions: Future use, responsibility, relationships More complexity leading to more avoidance Nuances in intolerance of uncertainty and Hoarding Study on sub-factors of uncertainty: Factor 1: Negative self-referential implications (linked to hoarding severity) Factor 2: Perception of uncertainty as unfair (not linked) Internal vs. external perspectives on uncertainty Relevance of anxiety-driven self-criticism Changing Relationship to Uncertainty: Curiosity and Reframing Rilke's quote on “loving the questions” Transforming approach from fear to curiosity Curiosity as a therapeutic tool Creativity in imagining alternatives and solutions Relevance of loss aversion and cognitive biases Modern Life and Uncertainty Intolerance Research linking increased use of technology (instant answers) to rising intolerance of uncertainty Smartphone/information overload and decreased tolerance “muscle” Relevance to hoarding (desire for backups, information saving) Example: IMDb, screenshots, saving digital info Treatment Strategies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) effects on intolerance of uncertainty in anxiety Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and exposure-based methods: Pros and cons Importance of a therapist experienced in error-related distress and uncertainty Key skills: Observing distress, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, gradual exposure Self-help approaches: Reframing mistakes as learning Practicing self-compassion Values-based decision-making Systematic exposure to small errors Gradually breaking rigid rules (e.g., waste, tidiness) Recognising individual differences and seeking appropriate support Embracing Mistakes and Humanity Learning from therapist/client anecdotes Cultural expectations around perfectionism vs. real human messiness How mistakes can be positive or even entertaining Letting go of the need for perfection The Four Cs for Managing Uncertainty From Elizabeth Weingarten: Curiosity, Conversation, Community, Commitment How to foster each: Curiosity: Approach with questions and exploration Conversation: Discuss uncertainties with trusted people Community: Build social support Commitment: Dedication to exploring questions and knowing when to let go Links Hillman, S.

What do we mean by 'intercultural church ministry'? What steps can churches make to move from being 'mono-cultural' towards being 'inter-cultural'?Each group of people shares a pattern of doing things: its culture. As cultures from around the world mix more and more, communities can be mono-cultural or multi-cultural.When we read about the great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue in Revelation 7:9, we see an 'inter-cultural' community united around the throne.In order for churches to reflect this vision of heaven, they need to move from mono- or multi-cultural to inter-cultural: welcoming people from all cultures, being blessed by then, and blessing them.In this episode of In:Dependence, Phil Topham (FIEC Executive Director) is joined by Justin Gill (FIEC's Intercultural Ministry Advisor) and Tim (a form FIEC pastor with experience in intercultural ministry) to explore what intercultural church is and how we can make steps towards being more intercultural in our churches.Show notesFIEC Leaders' Confernece 2025 (fiec.org.uk)Reflecting Heaven: building an intercultural church where you are (fiec.org.uk)About In:Dependence: In:Dependence is FIEC's official podcast, where you'll hear conversations on topics for church leaders.About FIEC: We are ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠a fellowship of Independent churches⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with members of the family across England, Scotland and Wales.

Your Fear Is Fake - Here's What's Really Stopping YouLet's dive into the good stuff right off the bat: this week, we're tackling the sneaky shame monster lurking in the corners of our minds and how it's been running the show more than we'd like to admit.I'm Heather Masters, and trust me, if you've ever felt like you're not good enough or you've sabotaged your own success, you're not alone—this is the kind of chat we all need! We're peeling back the layers on why shame is often the real culprit behind our fears, and spoiler alert: it's not just about the fear of failure, it's way more personal. So, grab your favourite drink, get cosy, and let's unpack how we can kick shame to the curb with some practical tips that'll have you strutting into your greatness like the fabulous human you are! Plus, I've got some exciting news about our new thrice-weekly schedule coming up, because let's face it, we all need more joy and less shame in our lives!The Details:Ready for some real talk that might just bust your brain wide open? Heather Masters is back with a fiery episode that's as enlightening as it is entertaining. She tackles the oh-so-awkward topic of shame, which, let's be honest, can feel like that one friend who always shows up at the worst times—like when you're about to crush it and then suddenly think maybe you should just hide under a rock instead. Heather shares her own battle with shame, showing us that it's not about running from fear but rather recognising shame for what it is: the sneaky little gremlin that keeps us small. With humour and heart, she breaks down the shame spiral, complete with the steps that lead us from feeling bad about ourselves to self-sabotage city. But fear not! Heather arms us with five actionable strategies to confront and dismantle our shame, from having a heart-to-heart with a trusted friend to keeping a wins jar to celebrate all those glorious little victories we often overlook. If you're ready to flip the script on how you see yourself and embrace the beautiful mess that is being human, this episode is your golden ticket to a happier you!Takeaways: Shame often masquerades as motivation, but it actually paralyses us instead of propelling us forward. The difference between fear and shame is crucial; fear looks to the future, while shame attacks our present worth. Practicing self-compassion can counteract the harsh judgments that shame imposes on us, so treat yourself like your best friend. Recognising and celebrating even the smallest wins nurtures a positive self-image and helps combat shame's negative narratives.

In this episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs explains that while blaming others feels good in the moment, it ultimately damages trust and connection in relationships. Recognising and stopping the blame game is crucial for personal growth and healthier relationships. By practicing self-awareness, empathy and better communication, you can take control of your anger and foster more positive interactions.Key Takeaways: The blame game can trap people in negative emotional patterns and arguments. The first step to breaking the blame habit is self-awareness and ownership of one's actions. Practicing empathy can shift the focus away from blame and foster connection. Communication without blame can lead to healthier conversations and relationships. Blaming others might feel empowering initially, but it ultimately leads to disconnection and hurt.

This week, we are kicking off a new 8-part series in the Beyond Happy subscriber-only podcast, focused on how to build self-trust so you can stop second guessing and start living freely and authentically, knowing you've got your own back.This first episode is available for all Crappy to Happy listeners and focuses on what it means to cultivate self-trust and why so many of us struggle with it. Self-trust is the belief in your own abilities, judgments, and decisions, as well as the inner assurance that you can handle whatever challenges life throws your way. In this episode, I'm sharing how a lack of self-trust can manifest in your daily life, from second guessing your decisions, doubting your own value, watering down your personality or opinions, deferring to others to make decisions, and overthinking just about everything. Self trust is not just about making the right choices or never making a mistake; it's about knowing that you don't have to be perfect and you've got your own back.I highlight the consequences of lacking self-trust, such as decision fatigue, anxiety, burnout, inauthentic relationships, and feeling disconnected from your power and purpose. My aim with this series is to empower you to recognise your own worth and begin the journey of rebuilding self-trust, setting the stage for the upcoming series of episodes that will provide tools and strategies for this essential work.Takeaways:Building self-trust involves believing in your abilities, judgments, and decisions, even when mistakes happen. Self-trust is crucial for decision-making; it allows us to move forward without excessive second-guessing ourselves. Recognising past experiences that eroded self-trust helps us understand current patterns of self-doubt. Overcoming the fear of judgment is essential to express ourselves authentically and regain self-trust.

'We still see people out wearing colours which we know for a fact we haven't produced in 15 or 20 years,' chuckles Marcus Janssen, head of Schöffel, as he speaks about the company's gilets — the 'Chelsea Lifejackets' — to James Fisher on this week's edition of the Country Life Podcast.Marcus took over at Schöffel after a career as a countryside journalist, stepping in to a role as head of a family-owned business which has been going for well over two centuries.His love of the British countryside shines through as he talks to James about how a South African journalist ended up running a much-loved countryside brand whose roots are in Germany — and many of whose customers wear their gilets as much in the streets of SW3 as they do in the fields of Scotland or Gloucestershire. Marcus also talks about the recently-inaugurated Schöffel Countryside Awards, run in partnership with the GWCT.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Marcus JanssenEditor and Producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via PixabaySpecial thanks: Adam Wilbourn Hosted on Acast.

Race and Everyday Friction – Ending Well in Counselling Training In Episode 343 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore the importance of having an online and telephone informed supervisor when you work in this way. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry about her concept of race and everyday friction - how these subtle, often hidden experiences shape identity and create barriers in life and therapy. And finally in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the significance of ending well in counselling training - how to navigate goodbyes with your peers and why these endings matter in your development. Why Have an Online and Telephone Informed Supervisor? [starts at 03:12 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken unpack the ethical importance of having an online and telephone informed supervisor when you practice in these ways. Key points discussed include: Supervision is an ethical requirement to ensure your practice is safe, effective, and supportive of clients. When working online or by phone, you need a supervisor who understands the specific challenges of these settings—like missing visual cues, managing silences, and the different technical considerations. Formal training in online and telephone working is essential, as supervisors who lack this training might not be able to guide or support you fully. Ethical frameworks (like the BACP's) and supervision competencies in the UK highlight the need for supervisors to hold formal training in any special areas of practice. Supervisors with this training will understand nuances like the disinhibition effect (when clients behave differently online) and data protection considerations. Race and Everyday Friction [starts at 18:53 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry, a counsellor and trainer who explores the concept of everyday friction. Those small, often overlooked experiences of race that shape a person's daily life. Key points from this conversation include: Everyday friction can be things like plasters (band-aids) that don't match darker skin tones, or seeing few Black people on greeting cards - small examples of how whiteness is often the default in society. These small frictions are constantly present and shape identity in powerful ways. White people may not recognise these frictions because they are not impacted by them directly. Conversations about race often start by talking about these everyday frictions - it's how we build bridges and develop understanding. Recognising and exploring these micro-moments of exclusion can help therapists be more attuned to the lived experiences of their clients. Ending Well in Counselling Training [starts at 40:41 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken share insights on ending well in your counselling course—whether you're finishing a term, a module, or the whole course. Key points include: Good endings help to close the chapter, mark growth, and ensure no regrets are left behind. Reflect on what you've shared and learned with your peers - acknowledge the support, challenges, and personal development. If there have been tensions with others, consider repairing or at least acknowledging them to avoid unfinished business. Remember that even if you see some peers in future courses, each group dynamic is unique. It's important to close this chapter properly. Taking time to end well helps you carry the experience forward as a positive part of your development.

Jeannette explores the transformative power of generational diversity in sports and business leadership. She delves into how understanding the unique strengths and perspectives of different age groups can serve as a competitive edge for organisations. By challenging stereotypes and fostering an inclusive environment, leaders can harness the complementary strengths of older and younger generations to drive innovation and collaboration Jeannette explains why: Generational diversity goes beyond stereotypes and is shaped by the social, technological, and economic forces each generation experiences. Recognising these differences can enhance collaboration and innovation within teams. Instead of viewing generational differences as gaps to bridge, they should be seen as opportunities to leverage the unique strengths of each generation, combining the agility and digital fluency of younger leaders with the strategic oversight of experienced leaders. Establishing a culture where all team members feel safe to share ideas and express themselves is crucial for fostering innovation and collaboration across generations. Effective leadership of multigenerational teams involves strategies such as reverse mentoring, facilitating cross-generational communication, aligning on shared values, and adapting leadership styles to empower creativity.

Sadness and Joy are the final pairing in our emotional practice. Sadness, or Karuna, is a natural, healthy emotion that arises when we face disappointment, loss, or attachment. It can lead to depression if not processed. We feel sadness in the body as lethargy, withdrawal, or physical discomfort. However, sadness can also open our hearts, fostering compassion, tolerance, and understanding, as seen in figures like the Dalai Lama. Recognising impermanence, sadness can lead us to deeper joy, or Hasya, which expresses itself as happiness, delight, and euphoria. Joy is vulnerable, tethered to sadness, and calls us to be present and appreciate life's beauty. While joy can be fleeting, emotional agility allows us to navigate both emotions. A “Gratitude List” or “Annoy and Joy” list helps cultivate resilience, balancing sadness with the joy that brings fulfilment and freedom. By embracing both emotions, we open to greater love, creativity, and compassion.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here. To support Zephyr Yoga Podcast, donate here.
