We explore the future of communication through the lens of conflict, with Lena Morgan, former midwife turned conflict resolution specialist. Zoë shares updates from Planet Human, reflecting on the scathing insights from the Edelman Trust Barometer and her return from the Australian Alpine Walking Track. The Kickstarter for her latest book, Power Games, is on the horizon. Then we welcome Lena Morgan, creator of The Fight Languages. Lena unpacks how understanding our instinctive conflict responses can turn tension into connection. Drawing on her experience in high-stress environments, she shares how organisations can transform culture by decoding these ‘fight languages.' This episode delves into how somatic intelligence, leadership presence, and emotional fluency are crucial in today's polarised environments.   SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/conflict-resolution-fight-languages    Power Games: https://www.zoerouth.com/power-games Zoë's Substack: https://substack.com/@zoerouth Planet Human: Edelman Trust Barometer reveals collapsing trust in key institutions, with growing class divides and despair. https://www.edelman.com/trust-barometer   Key Quotes: "Conflict is information—it tells us what matters most to people." – Lena Morgan "Assume self-interest, not good intent. That's how we keep eyes wide open and hearts open." – Zoë Routh "We all stay in the fight too long. The real skill is knowing when to pause and pivot." – Lena Morgan   Questions Asked: What are the five fight languages and how do they show up in teams? How can leaders manage their own conflict response before addressing others'? Why is somatic intelligence essential in high-stakes conversations? How can we better support extinguishers, amplifiers, and analyzers in a workplace?   Take Action: Notice your personal conflict pattern. Are you an igniter, amplifier, negotiator, analyzer, or extinguisher? Use Lena's techniques to pause and pivot—whether it's through movement, silence, or strategic escape. Open dialogue with your team about how they experience tension. Use the fight language framework to foster mutual understanding.   Tip of the Week Create a “fight language map” with your team. Identify each member's default response and explore ways to better support one another in high-tension moments.   Key Moments 00:00 Introduction and Weekly Theme 00:23 Edelman Trust Barometer Report 01:30 Restoring Trust in Systems 02:36 Positive Aspects in Australia 03:27 Personal Update and Upcoming Projects 04:24 Assuming Good Intent in Conflict 05:24 Exploring Power Games and Self-Interest 08:25 Interview with Lena Morgan: Fight Languages 16:25 Understanding Different Fight Languages 22:44 Understanding the Analyzer's Perspective 23:26 Introducing the Extinguishers 24:41 Navigating Mixed Fight Languages 26:10 Starting with Your Own Fight Language 27:22 Techniques for Managing Fight Responses 29:45 Handling Different Fight Languages 35:51 The Fast Three Questions 37:34 The Importance of Conflict in Relationships and Business 38:24 Conclusion and Resources

The EDGE untangles the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) with SEO veterans Mike Blumenthal, Greg Sterling, and David Mihm. This episode reveals how Google's strategic maneuvers in Europe are reshaping the SERP landscape and challenging the status quo in local search. With a strong research effort of the last two years, our guests dissect Google's attempts to comply with the DMA, such as the introduction of the Places Sites Tab, Carousel and the decoupling of the Local Pack from Google Maps. Despite these efforts, user behavior tells a different story—one where Google's new features are largely ignored. It seems the Local Pack is still the go-to destination for users, regardless of these new additions. Meanwhile, the episode exposes an intriguing juxtaposition in the hotels vertical, where booking.com emerges as a formidable player through ad dominance, highlighting a complex dance between market giants. This scenario sparks a discussion on whether Google's self-preferencing tendencies are truly being curtailed or simply rebranded. Join us as we explore how Google's “play nice” strategies may just be a façade amidst ongoing DOJ antitrust pressure. Could this pave a path for diversified regional strategies and fresh opportunities in the digital marketing sphere?

Friday Juma KhutbaFebruary 28th, 2025- The holy month of Ramaḍān is approaching, and the crescent is expected to be sighted first in West Africa and North America. - The Prophet described Ramaḍān as the best month, with the best days, nights, and hours, full of blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. - It is a month where believers are invited as guests of Allāh, their deeds are accepted, and their prayers are answered. - Sincere intention (niyyah) is essential for fasting, as it gives fasting its true value. - Fasting is unique among rituals because it cannot be performed for show, making it a purely sincere act of worship. - A ḥadith qudsi states that fasting is exclusively for Allāh, and He alone rewards it. - The story of the sons of Adam highlights that Allāh accepts deeds only from those with true piety. - Intentions define the value of actions—those who act for worldly gain receive no divine reward. - Some international aid efforts appear humanitarian but often have hidden selfish motives. - The U.S. has reduced funding for USAID and used military aid to Ukraine with conditions attached. - The 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was presented as a mission for democracy but had economic motives. - An executive order (13303) allowed U.S. control over Iraq's oil revenues, directing funds to the U.S. Federal Reserve. - The UN Security Council mandated Iraq's oil funds to be held by its Central Bank, but the U.S. unilaterally placed them under American control. - The U.S. continues to control Iraq's oil revenues, restricting its financial independence. - Despite Iraq's vast oil wealth, its financial situation remains dire due to external control. - UN efforts to restore Iraq's financial autonomy have largely failed. - We pray for the zuhur of the Imām to establish true justice in the world.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

There's a logos in the spiritual world also, and that's what Brahma was able to meditate on through the mantra—the divine logos in which, the center in which is Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in Śvetadvīpa, the pinnacle of the spiritual world. So, the verse I just quoted mentions through this tapas, through this meditation on Kṛṣṇa, as Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā man-manā bhava mad-bhakto (BG 18.65): that meditate on—just meditate on me. How do you do it? Through the mantra. Then He says this very important next step: atha veṇu-ninādasya trayī-mūrti-mayī gatiḥ sphurantī praviveśāśu mukhābjāni svayambhuvaḥ gāyatrīṁ gāyatas tasmād adhigatya sarojajaḥ saṁskṛtaś cādi-guruṇā dvijatām agamat tataḥ trayyā prabuddho 'tha vidhir vijñāta-tattva-sāgaraḥ tuṣṭāva veda-sāreṇa stotreṇānena keśavam Brahma-saṁhitā (5.27,28) So now, in his meditation, he hears the flute song of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and that flute song of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, this is the Gāyatrī. Now, this is a very sweet understanding or fact is that enlightenment comes from music.In the spiritual world. Every gopī, every devotee, has his or her own rāga through which they worship Kṛṣṇa. And in fact, the amazingly Bhāgavatam says or commentary on the Bhāgavatam says, every living species has its own rāga.

During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode and discussion on Adam Smith originally aired on April 18, 2022. ___ This season we have been covering individuals who have had a direct effect on history, in a positive or negative way. Adam Smith is one of those. He is called the “father of modern economics” and “the creator of capitalism”. Rather than walk you through a summary of his life, we will attempt to summarize the possible influences that formed three major concepts which exist in his later and final work, the Wealth of Nations, namely the appropriation of Self-Interest, Division of Labor, and the “The Invisible Hand”, thereby showing the linear deduction of each, and how that logic reflects in Adam Smith's moral philosophy. With the presentation of these three ideas, it's our hope that you will make your own deductions regarding what kind of man he was and whether his effect on history was a positive one. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/15minutehistory/support

This episode explores the concept of rational self-interest, contrasting it with what Brook sees as a self-destructive societal trend in America. The conversation delves deep into America's foreign policy, the role of intellectuals, and the impact of technology and regulation on individual freedom and economic growth. Brook laments the lack of modern thinkers akin to Rand and stresses the need for an intellectual revolution to revive the principles of liberty and individual rights.Credit to Marc Beckman, Some Future Day podcast - Episode 35: Techno-Freedom, Individual Liberty, & Rational Thought | with Yaron Brook, Chairman Ayn Rand Institute -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e93Z4rQhQ9EJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBrook/joinLike what you hear?
