This episode is a testament to the power of social and emotional learning, and the impact of mental mindset on achieving extraordinary results. Don't miss this inspiring conversation that highlights the intersection of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and athletic excellence. On today's episode #334 we meet with someone who caught my eye, over 20 years ago when I worked with athletes at Arizona State University. Sitting in front of Ike Diogu, years before his exciting career would unfold, I just knew he would be successful. I was in my late 20s, and hadn't published my first book yet, The Secret for Teens Revealed, that was written with the purpose to help our next generation sharpen the skills that were integral for achieving goals (in school and sports). It designed to develop certain ways of behaving and more importantly, thinking, that would enable young people to achieve whatever it is that they want in life. Working with elite College athletes at ASU, I thought would be a great place to test out the chapters of this book (Chapter 1- Developing a Winning Attitude, Chapter 2- Developing Your Mind, Chapter 4-Goal-Setting and Persistence, Chapter 5-Building Your Confidence Formula for Predictable Results for Success). You get the point here. So, one day, I asked Ike a series of questions to “feel out” where his mindset was, and I'm not kidding, he almost knocked me out of my chair. Whatever I asked Ike, he had a well-thought out answer, that told me for certain that he didn't need the book I wanted to publish. He had already learned these skills at a young age, that I knew would skyrocket his future success. I just remember thinking “where will Ike Diogu end up?” and while I didn't follow his career over the years, I did see his photo on the wall one day, going down to the baggage claim at Arizona's Sky Harbor Airport, and it was then that I thought back to the moment I knew this young man had everything he needed, for an exciting and successful life. Of course I was going to look for him, and see if he would be open to coming on the podcast. We've learned about the Daily Grind in the NHL on EP #38[i], Accelerating Leadership in the NFL on EP #166[ii] but I knew I've always been missing the Mindset of the Athlete. I'm honored, and so excited to connect back with Ike Diogu,[iii] who I've not seen face to face for over 20 years, and dive into “The Mindset of a Division 1 College Athlete Turned Pro.” Welcome Ike! Thank you for agreeing to meet up with me here, and filling me and our listeners in to what you've been up to the past 20 years!! I wonder, when I reached out to you, do you remember me from back at ASU? You wouldn't know that that was my first official job in the US. I came from Toronto, Canada, with so many hopes and dreams for our next generation, and September 11th really made it difficult for me. Working with you gave me vision and hope during what I remember as my most difficult and challenging times in a new country. I used to look forward to those days at ASU, and knew you were helping me much more that I was helping you. It does come full circle sometimes when we get to tell those people who helped to motivate and inspire us. I'm so grateful to have had the chance to work with you back then. INTRO Q: Before we get to where you went after I met you at ASU, can you just orient our listeners to your background BEFORE you went to College at ASU? Where did you grow up, and I'm looking for where did your winning mindset come from? Was it your Dad with a doctorate degree in Philosophy do you think? Who taught you these skills (they are called SEL skills now)--I knew they were important, (had this book written but not yet published) and they hadn't yet made it into our schools yet? Q1: I mentioned that you made a memorable impression on me all those years ago. It was your mental mindset that stood out to me. So much so, that when I saw your photo on the wall at the Phoenix airport, going down to the baggage claim, I completely freaked out and said to my husband “I knew Ike Diogu was going places! I just knew it!” I've kind of got a 6th sense for seeing talent, and while I like to see the talent in EVERYONE, I notice that not everyone uses the gifts they've been given, but you were in full use of them all when I met you. I had to watch an incredible interview you did on “Pioneering the Golden Age of Nigerian Basketball” from 3 years ago to get up to speed with where I last saw you, but can we start with something I saw somewhere that you said in that interview? You said “throughout all the adversity that I had throughout my professional career, I think the mental toughness (Coach Evans) instilled helped me get through some of the really tough times I faced.” I remember your Coach walking around at ASU…he had quite the presence. How did coach Evans help strengthen your mental toughness? I saw it as very strong already, back then. What did he teach you to set you up for success AFTER playing College Basketball? Q2: I'll credit the photos I'm using in this interview to the African in Sports interview you did 3 years ago. It did help me to accurately see where you went after ASU. I had no idea…I just knew you would do amazing things in the world. In this photo, the interviewer asked about your teammates at ASU and look at that smile. I knew ASU was special for you, but what do you think made it so special, enough that you would really have to think about leaving there, to go to the NBA? Q3: Let's go to when you were drafted to the NBA. You said yourself “I never would have imagined that I would have made the jump that I made.” I did…but 20 years ago, ( I saw you would have Quantum Leap success) I was just learning to trust things like heightened intuition that I never ignore anymore. Tell me about your mindset of “putting your name into the draft” and then playing at open gym in Garland, TX. In the back of your mind, what were you thinking? Q4: So, back at ASU, I remember asking you questions about where your confidence levels were, or your attitude and mental mindset. Those are all pretty normal questions, but I knew they weren't being taught in our schools. Now I've been researching the science behind high performance for 20 years, and working on bridging the gap with some things that might be considered spiritual in nature, but when I saw the #9 that you wore for when you were drafted into the NBA for the Golden State Warriors, I can't help but ask “what does the number 9 mean to you? Anything? Or are you just assigned that number based on your pick? I ask this because the #9 is considered a lucky number in many cultures, and is associated with spiritual growth, selflessness and humanitarianism. I had to look at the numbers you wore at ASU. #5-is known for freedom, curiosity and change, as well as a desire to have adventures and explore new possibilities (which I think is interesting that it's here where you left College BB and leaped forward to the NBA). Does this mean anything to you? Then #6 is associated with responsibility, service and nurturing, that I saw you brought to the Nigerian Team with your background in the NBA. But I also saw a photo of you on your IG page, in front of Garland High School, that has the slogan “Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve.” I'm guessing this was your High School. Do you think your natural ability or drive to serve others began here, or before this? There isn't any science to the numbers, but I did notice the well-known numerology meanings coincided with each team, staring with #9 and I was curious if any of the numbers have meaning to you. Q5: So, now take us to Nigeria where I saw you were the Captain of your team. What did you teach your team that you learned from the NBA about preparing to go against your opponent? Q6: I heard you say “In order to get to the next level that we want to go, you need to do X, Y, and Z” and I wonder what were some of the important strategies you taught them? What was X, Y and Z? Q7: The Rio 2016 Olympics—What was that experience like? Q8: Where are you now? Are you playing for Venezuela? What's been your path since the Olympics? What is your vision for the next 5 years? Ike, it's been an honor to reconnect with you. I'm so grateful for this chance to have you on the podcast really just to let you know that you had these skills all along, and I hope other who tune in around the world can gain some inspiration and hope from your life experience. When I look back over the years, the people I've had on as guests have made an impact on me in some way (whether from their research in the scientific world, or in education, or those who just made me stop and think about how I can better serve the world). You definitely caught my attention 20 years ago, and watching the interview you did (African in Sports Interview)[iv] I was beyond moved from not only your mindset for excellence, but the desire to help others to reach their greatest heights. I look forward to following your work in the future, and know you will continue to stand out in your field. Thanks for meeting with me today! FINAL THOUGHTS Some final thoughts. At the end of this interview, I thanked Ike for giving me such incredible hope at a time in my life when I didn't have it all figured out. I remember having these huge visions for these important social and emotional learning skills that were not yet taught in our schools, and Ike's grasp of these skills propelled me forward. This was years before we had the research behind these SEL Competencies that we now know skyrocket academic achievement, healthy relationships, mental wellness and so much more.[v] These SEL skills are integral in our classrooms today. I think it's important to be open at all times to learn from others, as you never know what it is that might help you in the future, like Ike helped me to stay focused on this work. I do highly encourage watching the interview I mentioned, “Ike Diogu: Pioneering the Golden Age of Nigerian Basketball”[vi] if you want to learn all of the details of Ike's Motivating Story “Diving into the Mindset of a D1 College Basketball Player, turned Pro.” I'm grateful to have had the chance to reconnect with Ike, and do want to give a shout out to all the parents out there, like Ike's Dad, who are raising their children to be mentally and physically strong. Also, the coaches, like coach Evans[vii], who took Ike to the heights he needed to be successful at the pro level, and taking his mental toughness to greater heights. I believe we all have the ability to do just what Ike did, (maybe not with basketball, but I mean make Quantum Leaps with our results) and as Ike said himself, he “never would have imagined making the jump that (he) made.” But I did. I bet his Dad and family did as well. And Coach Evans did. Ike was surrounded by people who believed in him. Which is a testament for all of us to keep learning, growing, and reaching for the next level in whatever it is that we want in our lives, and encourage others to do the same. I'll end with a quote from Thomas Edison: See you next week as we continue with our Self-Leadership Series, and chapter 9, on Self-Regulation.

Today Elaine chats with dancer, performer, choreographer Charlotte McLean about her career, the power of dance and the everything that surrounds menstrual health and the womb and Charlotte's new work Futuristic Folktales. Which was co-created by an exciting multi-disciplinary creative team including Helen McIntosh, Nelly Kelly, Malin Lewis, Astro Scheidegger, Orrow Bell, Alison Brown, Emma Jones, and Rob Evans, Futuristic Folktales is a collaboration-driven show that aims to disrupt, and refresh expected formats of performance through radical and emotive explorations of reproductive justice and injustice, body politics, bodily autonomy, and identity. Futuristic Folktales Futuristic Folktales tells the momentous story of the first womb - an environment where life and death intimately coexist. Humbly attempting to unify humanity through the infinite narrative of birth, the show experiments with contemporary, breaking, and Scottish Highland dance to probe questions of tradition, preservation, myth, and identity. The performers share their unique perspectives, as Orrow and Astro intimately birth and unbirth each other. Inviting audiences to feel resistance as the performance imitates the hostile, terse environment of the womb, the show seeks to further dance as a form of political protest - otherwise, why dance? Charlotte Mclean's work amalgamates dance theatre, improvisation, voice work, imagination, self-celebration, radical listening and joy. Charlotte is a contemporary dance artist from Arbroath, Scotland and a London Contemporary Dance School graduate. She has performed and worked internationally with Curious Seed, Eva Recacha, Pink Mama Theatre, Hannes Langolf, Jack Webb, Vanessa Cook and Barrowland Ballet amongst many others. Charlotte is co-founder of BADBODYCHAOSCODE (fka The Yonis) with Haley Jayne Gash and founder of sibling company Die Berner Band. Both are contemporary movement bands. They have been commissioned to perform at Edinburgh and Camden Fringe Festivals, Brainchild Festival, V&A London, The Place, TANZhAUS Bern and Dampfzentrale and have been featured in Dazed and Confused Magazine. The bands have toured in the UK, Poland, France, Germany, Switzerland and New York City. Charlotte began her dancing career with Highland, a traditional Scottish form of movement and taught this from a young age. She has always been passionate about teaching and sharing. She has taught at London Contemporary Dance School; Scottish Dance Theatre; Dance Base Edinburgh, TanzBüro Basel and now teaches at Barbara Bortoli Ballet School. She also worked at The Royal Ballet School for two years as Associate Centre Assistant.

This week's podcast is special because we have a chance to provide a platform for someone who is really making a difference in improving quality of life got service members. Rob Evans is the creator of Hots & Cots, an app built to be the "yelp for enlisted life" that is simultaneously increasing transparency and accountability for dining facilities and barracks. If you're unfamiliar with the phrase "three hots and a cot" it refers to that, whether you're joining the military or going to prison, at least you can (theoretically) count on three square meals a day and a cot to sleep on. If you've been following the news, you've almost certainly seen that there are issues with both the "hots" (meals) and the "cots" (barracks) lately, and Rob is on a mission to fix both. Rob is a former Army sergeant with 12 years of service, concluded his military career as a 92F. Leveraging over a decade of IT experience, he transitioned into the role of a software developer. Combining both his Army experience and his software skills he recently created an app called Hots & Cots that is essentially Yelp for military installations, which we'll be diving into here. Rob lives outside of Charlotte, NC, with his wife and two boys and outside of work he loves running, weightlifting, and the outdoors. Oh and coffee, he also loves coffee. As you listen to the work Rob is doing, if you're in the military please encourage anyone you work with to download the app and help give Rob the tools to hold leaders accountable on these issues. We discussed the notorious clip of the IMCOM commander saying he doesn't have a mold problem, he has a discipline problem. If you missed that incident, here's some of the coverage including the video clip. Hots & Cots Website
The prevailing view in organisations (and among their leaders) is that change processes are rational challenges — a question of getting from A to B with efficiency and minimal interruption.After 30+ years of facilitating change processes and training others to do the same, Rob Evans has learned that a great deal of the work to be done is anything but rational.The emotional and political contexts in which groups exist matter. The decision-making structure around the team matter. The restrictions and fears matter.Join us for a discussion in the depth and detail of group dynamics, participant empowerment, and the deeply human sides of facilitation.Find out about:Why prioritising participants learning and growth is an ever-reliable foundation for workshop planningHow to account for emotional and political contexts in your workshop and avoid over-rationalisationWhy Rob believes successful workshops hinge on having a large enough groupHow to approach a problem that is too big for the group to fixWhy it's worth asking why a change hasn't happened yet, before we ask how to make the changeWhat Rob has learned form helping drug users to rehabilitate from their addictionsDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.The Collaboration Code website.Connect to Rob:On LinkedIn.Support the show:Make a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.Support the showCheck out the podcast map to see the overview of all podcast episodes: https://workshops.work/podcast-map

“Winston Churchill said something like, "We create our buildings and then our buildings create us." So we are deeply influenced by our environment. This species didn't evolve except by paying very careful attention to what's going on around us. Because we're not that fast, we don't have good teeth, we had to be pretty attentive to our environment to even survive. Well, we're still those creatures. We're still very attentive to even subtle cues in our environment. Environments tell us how to behave. Others in the environment, reinforce the messages given by the physical space.” -Rob Evans In this episode of Control the Room, I had the pleasure of speaking with Rob Evans about his experience designing and leading collaborative workshops to help leaders align and mobilize their teams to successfully tackle complex challenges. He starts with how a his background at studying at the Harvard Divinity School led to management counsulting. Later, Rob discusses the importance of where we work and how it influences how we work. We then discuss collaboration at scale. Listen in for more tips in how to teach design collaboration at scale.

Unusually for this show, which normally focuses on long departed historical figures, today we're going to talk about someone who's still very much in the news. Until last week, she was the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, London's police force, and was the first woman and the first LBGTQ person to hold the rank, Dame Cressida Dick. Today, part two of two: we discuss Dick's tenure at the Metropolitan Police, the extrajudicial murder of Jean Charles de Menezes, Dick's cynical deployment of her identity to deflect critique, the spy cops scandal, the botched investigation into gay serial killer Stephen Port, the Met's dismal record on race, and the protests that finally forced Dick out. ----more---- SOURCES: Ramzy Alwakeel, “I Covered Stephen Port's Murders.

Imagine that we have been given the opportunity to completely redesign the concept of school. Where would we go? During the COVID19 pandemic, educators have been forced to reimagine almost every aspect of school, changing our ideas about what's truly essential. As we rest, recover and reflect on the past year, we can also refine our vision for the future. NAIS President Donna Orem and celebrated author and speaker on the future of education, Michael B. Horn, join us to talk about redesigning the purpose and future of schools, collaborations between K12 and higher education, and creating a culture of wellbeing in school communities.In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon dig into a number of big ideas, starting with a full examination of the purpose of schools. Donna brings up the historical purpose of education, but one relevant theme that surfaces throughout the episode is that purpose is also the future of schools. But how do school leaders and parents understand the purpose of school? Are they on the same page? And where does higher ed fit in?Building on questions about the way parents and educators view student achievement, Michael points out areas of disconnect between K12 schools and higher education. He shares his views on what needs to change in terms of creating a stronger culture of collaboration between colleges and K12, as well as how the current dynamic feeds a culture of fear among parents. Donna also wonders how that culture of fear holds schools back from creating a more purpose-driven educational environment, and how parents and schools could become better partners in helping students pursue their passions.Some of the key questions Tim and Lisa explore in this interview about the purpose of schools include:We need to increase collaboration between K12 and higher ed. What could that look like? Independent schools should become centers of wellbeing. How might that be the defining value proposition for many of our schools? Purpose-driven education is the future. How do we design schools and universities to develop passion, purpose, and well-being? How do we move from a narrative of fear to one of hope?Resource List:Begin With the End: What's the Purpose of Schooling? -- “As we seek to build schools back better, individual schooling communities must be clear about purpose and priorities.” Michael Horn, in Forbeshttps://michaelbhorn.com/ -- Keep up with Michael's workThe National Association of Independent Schools -- Stay up-to-date on all the developments in the Independent Schools communityHopes and Fears: Working with Today's Independent School Parents -- Make a major difference in how well your school works with parents.

Isn't that the greatest purpose to think about? What does it mean to be human today?” (6:36)"Hope is your super power. Don't let anybody or anything make you hopeless. Hope is the enemy of injustice. Hope is what will get you to stand up when people tell you to sit down." (11:59)“I do think that the walls between higher ed and K-12 need to come down in more concerted ways. And you think about how we have divisions between those two institutions. That is a function of history, not perhaps what we need in the current moment.” (19:22)“So I think if K through 12 and higher ed can get together to really figure out how to open up these pathways, how to help students really explore their purpose and to, you know, really meet that potential head on. It's going to create a different society for us and, you know, that's my hope. That's how I want to use my super power, in creating the world that looks like that. “ (26:29)“We need to blow past the zero sum game to get to a positive sum world.” (27:30)Full TranscriptAbout Our Guests:Donna Orem is the President of the National Association of Independent Schools.

The ladies discuss recent revelations that Buckingham Palace banned “coloured immigrants and foreigners” from working in office roles in the royal household until at least the late 1960s and that the Queen is still exempt from race and gender equality laws (meaning that individuals working for her household cannot launch legal complaints regarding discrimination in the UK courts), and ask why the Queen gets to be above the law and whether it's enough to uphold the spirit of the law when there are no legal consequences for discriminatory acts.

A little later this month, two cricket teams will step out onto a pitch in the UK to play each other for the first time – and make a little bit of history. The match between Graces and Unicorns is the first time that two LGBTQ+ sides have ever had a game of cricket against each other. And that's because, up until last year, Graces were the world's only inclusive side – with the Unicorns only established in 2020. The game is happening on Sunday 23rd May at 1pm, 40 overs a side – and we thought that was the perfect excuse to get a roundtable together to talk all about inclusivity in men's cricket. Up first, you're going to hear from: Manish Modi and Leo Skyner from Graces. Lachlan Smith, the founder of Unicorns. Rob Evans, who will be umpiring the historic match. And then after that, you'll hear from Henry Cowen, who is the Communications Manager for England's Women's Team – and has his own take on the importance of inclusivity in the game. It's a bumper conversation, full of great chat for cricket fans – and we think you'll really like it. WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUESTS?

Show notes… Favorite success quote or mantra: "Whenever work gets overwhelming, remember, it's just a restaurant." In this episode with Arlin Smith, we discuss: How Arlin got his start in the restaurant business and what it was that drew him in. When you identify talent in an employee, why it is so important to draw that talent out and to make that person aware of their talent. How to hold someone accountable. If you're going to be an owner, why it is beneficial to have worked all elements of a restaurant (dishwasher, line cook, chef, bus person, server, host, management). If you build something, stay true to the original vision. Don't be reactionary and make drastic changes. If you do make a change, put thought into it and be very strategic. Being mindful of who you partner with. Don't rush in! Go into partnership where the percentage of ownership is not determined by how much capital was initially invest. Letting your core values determine your brand. Knowing the value of your people and making sure they know how much you value them. Other things to consider when selecting your business partners. The benefits of establishing a separate brand for your restaurant group. Why outsourcing brand development is worth every penny if you do not have someone in house with that particular talent.

Presented and produced by Seán Delaney On this week's programme, Rob Evans, who was a keynote speaker at the 2015 annual conference of the Irish Primary Principals' Network (IPPN) discusses whether staff rooms in schools are congenial or collegial places and more.
The Supreme count has ruled that 27 letters written by Prince Charles to Ministers, the so-called 'spider letters', should be made public. It follows a ten year campaign by the Guardian newspaper and reporter Rob Evans, who first submitted a Freedom of Information request to see the letters back in 2005. Steve Hewlett talks to Rob about the ruling, what it means for press freedom, and what he has learnt about the content of the memos. Talk of the Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz being "depressed" appeared on Friday's front pages. Headlines included "Killer pilot suffered from depression" (Daily Mirror), "Madman in cockpit" (The Sun) and "Why on earth was he allowed to fly?" (Daily Mail). Mental health campaigners came out against the coverage, including Alastair Campbell, former spin doctor, and now ambassador for Time For Change. Steve speaks to him about his call to sack news editors who had published 'hideous' front pages, the role of the press in combating stigma, and why he thinks there's a danger in making a correlation between depression and violence.Dermot O'Leary will no longer present the X Factor after 8 years on the show. An X Factor spokesperson has said 'no decisions have been taken' on who will replace him, but the Sun revealed in a scoop on Saturday that Olly Murs and Caroline Flack are being lined up as his replacement. Steve speaks to the Mirror's TV critic Kevin O'Sullivan about what the story exposed about showbit and former BBC controller of commissioning entertainment, Jane Lush about the crucial role of the presenter in ensuring a programme's success. And in the third of seven interviews with political parties in the run up to the general election, we hear from Plaid Cymru about their media policy. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.
