Podcast appearances and mentions of Robin Stevens

Geluk zonder reden: dat is waar Robin Stevens voor staat en wat hij met vuur en kwetsbaarheid deelt in dit openhartige gesprek.Als NLP-trainer, schrijver en zoeker in het leven, neemt Robin je mee op een reis langs innerlijke vrijheid, verbindende communicatie en het loslaten van oude pijn. Wat als geluk niet afhankelijk is van succes, geld of erkenning, maar gewoon een innerlijke staat die je kunt cultiveren? Robin leeft het voor, en vertelt hoe zijn reis van verkoper naar bewustzijnsleraar verliep, inclusief de valkuilen van spirituele bypassing en het omarmen van je schaduwkanten.We duiken in de wonderlijke wereld van NLP, waar je leert hoe je gedachten en gevoelens niet bent, maar hebt — en dus ook kunt veranderen. Maar Robin deelt ook hoe hij na jaren van persoonlijke ontwikkeling pas echt zakte in zijn lijf toen hij social media losliet, stilte zocht en durfde niets te doen. Wat overbleef? Verbinding zonder wifi. En een diepe vreugde in het gewone.Robin, dankjewel voor je oprechtheid, je zachtheid en je lach. Je toont dat mens-zijn geen project is om af te werken, maar een avontuur om te beleven.Een gesprek dat voelt als thuiskomen bij jezelf — zonder dat je ergens naartoe moet.

In this season finale of Why Care?, host Nadia Nagamootoo is joined by bestselling children's author Robin Stevens, best known for the internationally renowned Murder Most Unladylike series, to explore how literature can shape young minds and create lasting change. Robin shares her journey as an author, the personal experiences that influence her writing, and how her neurodivergence, identity, and lived experiences have shaped the stories she tells. They discuss the importance of representation in children's books, the impact of subtle acts of exclusion, and how stories can help young readers navigate diversity, identity, and belonging. This episode is an inspiring look at how books can spark meaningful conversations and challenge the status quo. Key Takeaways Children's books have the power to shape young minds, foster empathy, and challenge stereotypes. Diverse representation in literature helps young readers see themselves and others in a more inclusive way. The power of storytelling can influence how children perceive identity, belonging, and fairness in the world around them. Neurodivergence and lived experiences shape creative expression in profound ways. Robin's writing reflects her unique perspective as a neurodivergent person, using storytelling as a way to process emotions and understand human interactions. By embracing her identity, Robin creates stories that not only entertain but also educate and inspire conversations around inclusion. Highlights: Robin's Path to Becoming a Writer – From storytelling as a child to becoming an internationally acclaimed author, Robin shares how her early experiences shaped her passion for writing. Neurodivergence and Storytelling – Robin reflects on how her autism diagnosis has influenced her approach to writing, processing emotions, and understanding the world. Diversity and Representation in Books – Robin discusses the importance of creating characters that reflect a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. Challenging the British Boarding School Narrative – Robin's books disrupt the overwhelmingly white, privileged image of boarding schools by introducing characters who mirror real-life diversity and challenge to fit in. Raising Awareness of Subtle Acts of Exclusion – Robin highlights the importance of showcasing microaggressions in her stories to help young readers recognise and address them. Bringing Queer Representation to Children's Books – Robin shares her experience of writing LGBTQ+ characters, the challenges she faced, and the positive impact of queer representation in children's literature. Guest Bio Robin Stevens is an award-winning author best known for her Murder Most Unladylike series, which blends classic murder mystery with a modern approach to diversity and representation. As someone who identifies with multiple underrepresented communities, Robin skilfully weaves themes of identity, belonging, and social justice into her books. With a deep passion for making literature more inclusive, Robin's work has had a lasting impact on young readers and the publishing industry.

Author of the Murder Most Unladylike and Ministry of Unladylike Activity series, Robin Stevens knows a thing or two about writing murder mysteries. Her focus is on Young Adult (YA) fiction. Robin and host Rebecca Thandi Norman discuss the Poirot mystery Hallowe'en Party, why they keep coming back to it although they agree that it's not Christie's best work, and what makes a murder mystery appropriate for young adult literature. Robin also talks about how Christie inspires her own work, including Poirot as the inspiration for one of her detectives, Hazel Wong. She goes into the connection she feels with her young readers, how her series came about, and what she'll never do in her plots.

If things had gone according to plan, our Human Resources Director Robin Stevens would have graduated from law school at the University of Georgia in the late seventies.

How, where, and what kids and teens learn about safe sex, substance use, and other health-related topics is incredibly important. Especially for young people who are already dealing with higher risk factors, such as neighbourhood poverty and violence--a  disproportionate number of whom are young people of colour, specifically Black, Latinx or Indigenous youth.  In this episode, Dr. Sara M. Grimes (Director of the KMDI) chats with Dr. Robin Stevens, Associate Professor at University of Southern California (USC) Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, and the Director and founder of the Health Equity and Media Collab, about her research on Black, Latinx and LGBTQ+ youth's use of social media, and the implications for their health and well-being. The discussion is focused on two of Dr. Stevens's articles: “The digital hood: Social media use among youth in disadvantaged neighborhoods,”  published in 2017 in New Media and Society; and “#digitalhood: Engagement with risk content in Social Media among Black and Hispanic Youth,” published in the Journal of Urban Health in 2019.Type of research discussed in today's episode: health communication; digital epidemiology; community-engaged research; interdisciplinary research; youth studies; qualitative research.Keywords for today's episode: digital neighbourhood/hood; risk-related content; Black youth culture; Latinx youth culture; technological determinism; content creation; invisible visibility. For more information and a full transcript of each episode, check out our website: http://kmdi.utoronto.ca/the-critical-technology-podcast/ Send questions or comments to: criticaltechpod.kmdi@utoronto.ca

Onze smartphones geven ons de illusie dat we continu verbinding hebben met elkaar. Niets is minder waar. Contacten worden vaak juist oppervlakkiger en de diepgang in onze relaties verdwijnt. Dat heeft niet alleen effect op onze zakelijke resultaten, maar ook op ons persoonlijke leven. In dit gesprek interview ik Robin Stevens. Hij schrijver van meerdere boeken (waaronder 'Verbinding zonder wifi') en begeleidt NLP opleiding. bij zijn eigen instituut. Wat zou er gebeuren als jij het verschil maakt in dit digitale tijdperk en bewust de échte verbinding opzoekt. Als de gesprekken die jij voert bovendien zo opvallend goed zijn, dat ze de ander voor altijd bijblijven. Wat voor effect zou dat hebben op je persoonlijke en zakelijke relaties?

After the global outrage at Rio Tinto's intentional destruction of Juukan Gorge, the state Labor government promised new Aboriginal Heritage legislation. Indigenous cultural rights would be respected. But the "new" heritage legislation may say all the right things except where it matters: amounting to no more than the repackaging of the old rights to mining companies. Aboriginal groups may remain effectively gagged. Thus far the Aboriginal Affairs Minister, Stephen Dawson, has declined to meet with the environment movement to listen to these heritage concerns. Archaeologist and heritage specialist Robin Stevens speaks frankly about how we got here, and what we need to do if our state is to genuinely support Aboriginal communities and respect and appreciate their cultural values.

Ursula and Catherine reverse their usual roles for a discussion of Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens, a stone cold classic in the modern children's murder mystery genre.  

‘Whether Picnic at Hanging Rock is fact or fiction, my readers must decide for themselves.' It's a scorching St Valentine's Day in 1900 when three boarding-school girls and a teacher disappear during a day-trip to Hanging Rock in the arid Australian outback. Fact or fiction? Misadventure or murder? Accident or assassination? Join us on our latest literary podcast adventure as we delve into the mystery, history and hysteria of Joan Lindsay's classic Australian Gothic novel with Kate Young, author of The Little Library Cookbook. From the slow-seeping horror of Hanging Rock to coming-of-age tales of tuck boxes and midnight feasts, high jinks and humour, Kate guides the Slightly Foxed magazine team through the school-story tradition and asks why it's such fertile ground for fiction. On the way we visit the Chalet School, Malory Towers and St Trinian's, and slip into darker territory with Decline and Fall, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. In this month's literary expedition, we take a peek inside Quentin Blake's House of Illustration, and to finish there's the usual wide-ranging round-up of current reading featuring: Anthony Buckeridge's classic Jennings series of prep-school stories; Emily Danforth's romp, Plain Bad Heroines, inspired by Shirley Jackson; and Tsitsi Dangarembga's tale of a young girl from a rural village in Zimbabwe, Nervous Conditions.Please find links to books, articles, and further reading listed below.

De podcast die je vandaag gaat luisteren is opgenomen op een wel heel bijzondere plek. Ik zat namelijk op de zeilboot van Robin Stevens. Hij is NLP-trainer, ondernemer en expert op het gebied van mindset. Eén van de redenen waarom hij zo succesvol is in wat hij doet is dat hij niet kleurt binnen de lijntjes. Hoe kun je succesvol zijn door juist niet de regels te volgen? Door niet de standaard route te bewandelen. Buiten de lijntjes kleuren is zeker niet het makkelijkste pad. Ik praat met hem over het niet afmaken van zijn middelbare school, schulden hebben en de tijd waarin hij helemaal niet gelukkig was. Begonnen met 90 euro winst van zijn eigen bedrijf in het eerste jaar vertelt Robin over de reis die hij heeft afgelegd. De reis van persoonlijke ontwikkeling die volgens hem nooit stopt. Je moet ergens de eerste stap zetten. Hoe dat hem is afgegaan en welke adviezen hij voor jou heeft vertelt hij allemaal in deze podcast!

Der perfekte Abschluss einer wunderbaren Buchreihe! Mit „Der Tod setzt Segel“ – dem 9. Band – schließt Robin Stevens ihre grandiose Wells & Wong-Reihe ab. Ja, es ist tatsächlich das letzte Buch mit den beiden inzwischen jugendlichen Detektivinnen. Aber was für eins..!

Vandaag kun je luisteren naar het gesprek dat ik onlangs had met Robin Stevens. Robin geeft al een jaar of 13 NLP-trainingen aan particulieren en organisaties via zijn eigen bureau en heeft inmiddels 2 bestsellers op zijn naam staan.  Al voor het uitkwam stond zijn laatste boek Verbinding zonder Wifi op 1 in de  Managementboek bestseller top 100.  Uiteraard gaan we het in dit gesprek hebben over Verbinding zonder Wifi, maar ook hoor je: Hoe Robin zijn schooltijd heeft ervaren Waarom Robin dacht dat er niemand op zijn boek zat te wachten. Welke trainingen zijn even ingrijpend hebben beïnvloed Welke gedachte Robin enorm bevrijdend vond, maar tegelijkertijd te gek om te delen Hoe hij ertoe kwam om alle schepen te verbranden en wat hem dat heeft opgeleverd; En we filosoferen wat over de maakbaarheid van het leven en hoe om te gaan met weerstand en verschillen van inzicht.  Veel luisterplezier!  Ga voor de shownotes naar mijn website: https://zoninjeleven.nl/episode-84/

Murder Most Unladylike By Robin Stevens Read by Gemma Chan When Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong set up their very own secret detective agency at Deepdean School for Girls, they struggle to find any truly exciting mysteries to investigate. (Unless you count the case of Lavinia's missing tie. Which they don't.) Then Hazel discovers the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the gym. She assumes it was a terrible accident - but when she and Daisy return five minutes later, the body has disappeared. Now Hazel and Daisy not only have a murder to solve; they have to prove one happened in the first place. Determined to get to the bottom of the crime before the killer strikes again (and before the police can get there first, naturally), Hazel and Daisy must hunt for evidence, spy on their suspects and use all the cunning and intuition they can muster. But will they succeed? And can their friendship stand the test?
