In episode 339, we delve into Chapter 12 of Grant's latest book, exploring the cutting-edge neuroscience of change. Building on seven months of in-depth discussions, this episode aims to equip you with the knowledge to thrive in 2024 by understanding how our brain interprets change as either a reward or a threat. We'll revisit key episodes that have previously tackled the concept of change, including insights from futurist Chris Marshall and renowned neuroscientists. Discover how your brain's response to social and emotional threats can be as powerful as its response to physical dangers, and learn practical strategies to navigate these challenges. Gain a deeper understanding of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and its evolution into self-determination theory. Explore Bosnick's ACRES model—Autonomy, Competence, Relatedness, Equity, and Sureness—to see how meeting these needs can help you embrace change and achieve your goals. Join us as we unpack Dr. Huberman's insights on how to harness neuroplasticity to create lasting behavioral changes. Learn how to manage the agitation and strain that come with pushing past your comfort zone, and find out how to build a positive change network to support your journey. Whether you're looking to enhance your agility, resilience, or overall well-being, this episode offers valuable tools and reflections to help you navigate and embrace change with confidence. Welcome back to SEASON 12 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 6 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. On today's episode #339 we continue with our 18-Week Self-Leadership Series based on Grant Bosnick's “Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership: A Bite Size Approach Using Psychology and Neuroscience” that we first dove into with our interview on EP #321[i] the end of January.  The goal was that each week, we focused on learning something new, (from Grant's book) tied to the most current neuroscience research, that builds off the prior week, to help take us to greater heights in 2024. So far, it's taken us 7 months to cover the first 12 chapters thoroughly, and we still have 7 chapters to go.  After this week on change, we have chapter 13 on agility, 14 on resilience, 15 on relationships and authenticity, 16 on biases, 17 on trust, 18 on empathy and the final chapter 19 (and one of my target areas to focus on this year), the topic of presence. When we finish each of these chapters, we will put them all together, with a review of each one, in one place. On today's EPISODE #339 we will cover: ✔ The Neuroscience of Change ✔ How our brains sense rewards versus threats ✔ How social and emotional threats are the same as physical threats ✔ Review of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs ✔ Review of Self Determination Theory ✔ Triggers to watch for during times of change. ✔ How to Change Our Nervous System to change our actions and behaviors, and leave behind a legacy we are proud of. For Today, EPISODE #339, we are moving on to Chapter 12, covering “The Neuroscience of Change” which came out as a low priority with 0% (Pathway 5) along with Agility and Resilience. I wasn't surprised to see this topic showing up with a low priority for me this year, mostly because I love change, and am constantly looking for new ways to do things. If I am doing the same things over and over again, I can tend to get bored, so it's important to find new angles, and challenges, daily to inspire the most creativity. If you've taken the leadership self-assessment[ii], look to see if Change  (in Pathway 5) along with agility and resilience, is of a low, medium or high priority for you to focus on this year. We've covered the topic of “change” in many different places on this podcast, most recently on EP 296,[iii] with Futurist Chris Marshall on his book “Decoding Change”, EP 244 “Using Neuroscience to Change our Perceptions”[iv], or EP 209 on “Using Neuroscience to Impact Change”[v] where we looked at a quote from the great, late Sir Ken's famous TED TALK, Do Schools Kill Creativity, where he reminded us that “If you're not prepared to be wrong, (by not fearing change and making mistakes along the way) you'll never come up with anything original.” Think about this for a moment. Think of the times in your life where you embraced change. Would you agree with me that embracing change helps us to have more guts and perhaps stretch more in the future? It helps us to build our future confidence levels. There are many different ways to change our brain, like we found out with Dr. Michael Rousell on EP 159[vi] who taught us “How the Power of Surprise Can Secretly Change the Brain.” So what does Grant Bosnick say about The Neuroscience of Change in Chapter 12 of his book, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership? He opens up the chapter with examples of change, asking how we feel when: Example 1: We are in nature and come across a “breathtaking view” (how do we feel) I love seeing water (rivers, lakes or waterfalls in nature). How about you? What do you enjoy seeing/feeling in nature? Or, think of this—we are in nature, and we see a large bear in front of us (how do we feel seeing a large bear compared to the first example of the beautiful river or waterfall)? I've never seen a bear, but we do see rattlesnakes often on the hiking trails with the same effect as a bear! If a rattlesnake doesn't kill you with their venom, they could very possibly bankrupt you, due to the high cost associated with treating snake bites.[vii] Think about how seeing a bear or a snake in nature, makes you feel now? The first example is obviously peaceful, and the second quite stressful. Example 2: We are working hard, and go for our dream position at work, and we are thrilled that we actually land the promotion! (How do we feel) This feels incredible! Or, you don't get the promotion, someone else gets it (how do we feel then)? Deflated is a word that comes to mind. With both of these examples, the breathtaking view, or when we land the promotion we worked so hard to achieve, Bosnick explains “we feel like we got a reward. It's a rush. We get a sensation in our brain and a hit of the big neurochemicals” dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, norephinephrine, adrenaline.” (Page 132, Ch 12, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership). But with the bear in the woods, (or snake on the hiking trails), or being overlooked for the promotion our brain actually sees this “like it's a threat. We feel tense, stressed, pressure…our body physically feels it.” Then Bosnick said something that caught my attention that showed me the difference between these two examples. Bosnick says that “Neuroscience has shown us, that the feeling we get from a social or emotional threat (like being passed over for the promotion) is the same as the feeling we get from a physical threat, (like seeing the bear of the snake) and that the negative (threat) response is stronger than the positive (reward) response.” (Page 132, Ch 12, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership). This explains to me why social and emotional threats can have a long-lasting impact on us and deflated just doesn't cover it. If we let these threats impact us, they do have the ability to zap our future confidence levels. When we see how our brain interprets “everything and everyone we meet as either a reward or a threat” we can better understand “how our body reacts, (and) our brain and mind think, (leading) to the decisions, behaviors and actions we make.” (Page 132, Ch 12, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership). It's here that Bosnick reviews the five levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, where the bottom two are our physiological needs (food, water, shelter) then safety needs (health, emotional security, financial security) that we need first for survival. The top three are our psychological needs, social belonging (friendships and love), the need for self-esteem (confidence, recognition and respect) that leads us to the top, with self-actualization (where we pursue our goals and seek happiness).  Bosnick talks about how Maslow's model evolved into “Self-Determination Theory” around the year 2000 where researchers found that there were “three physiological needs: the need for Competence (feeling valued for our knowledge, skills and experience), the need for Relatedness (collaborating, connecting or serving others) and the need for Autonomy (being able to exercise self-regulation…to achieve our goals.” (Page 133, Ch 12, Bosnick). Bosnick expands on this, calling it ACRES, A=autonomy or the feeling of control or choice), C=competence (feeling valued and respected for our contribution), R=relatedness (a need to belong and be accepted, to also have social connections), E=equity (perceiving actions as fair) and S=sureness (the ability to predict what's going to happen moment to moment).  (Page 133, Ch 12, Bosnick). Bosnick tells us that “if all of our ACRES are being met, it will put us in a toward state and we will fully embrace everything ahead of us; (but) if our ACRES are threatened, it will put us in an “away state” and will then resist or block things ahead of us. IMAGE CREDIT: Figure 12.1 ACRES Example Grant Bosnick Bosnick shows us the ACRES example in his life, showing the reward and threats he felt with a work situation. Understanding our basic human needs, and how they have evolved over the years, helps us to understand why we resist change, whether it's intentional, or from a subconscious point of view. Remembering that Our brain is tied into “everything that we do, and everything that we are.” (Dr. Daniel Amen) I can look at Bosnick's ACRES example, and clearly think of a work experience I did not enjoy, as it went against the ACRES Model of Needs. With brain science in mind, I can gain more understanding of why I didn't enjoy this experience, helping me to seek out a NEW work experience, where the ACRES were all met. When I think of that work experience I did not enjoy, ALL five of the ACRES examples were not met, so I felt the negative threat response in my brain, activated daily, didn't notice any positive reward responses, and even though I felt like I was consciously making an effort, my brain kicked into the “fight of flight response” just like my body was preparing for a threat (like the bear in the woods, or snake on the hiking trail).  At the end of each day, I felt threatened and not rewarded. Can you think of when you have felt the ACRES Model working for you (where you feel rewarded) or against you (where you feel threat) while going through change? Bosnick next explains how open-minded or close-minded we are to change, in his figure 12.2 with an image that was created by Michael Mahoney[viii] the author of The Human Change Process book, who addresses why change is so difficult for people, and how to lean into change, and maximize your chances for success. “The open-minded/closed minded dimension relates to the degree of mental openness to the environment and our level of curiosity. Open- minded represents the level of reward that we perceive and close-minded represents the level of threat that we perceive. With a passive mindset, we will either subtly support or oppose the change; with an active mindset, we will either overtly support or overtly reject the change.” (Page 137, Ch 12, Bosnick). We did dive into the emotion of curiosity on our interview with the co-author of the famous book The Archeology of Mind, Lucy Biven on EP 270[ix] where we looked at Jaak Panksepp's research, and again with Gabrielle Usatynski on EP #282[x] “How to Use Jaak Panksepp's 7 Core Emotions to Transform Your Family, Career and Life.” With this look at effective neuroscience, it makes sense to set out with a “seeking” or curious mindset, while approaching change, to be as open as we all can to what we might learn in the process, while being mindful of what makes you close-minded. Bosnick points out that it's normal to go back and forth between these two states, but just to be mindful of what shuts you down, or puts you in the threat response. We want to be in the “Bring Change On” quadrant from figure 12.2 but what do we do if something is “triggering” us as a threat response? Bosnick lists a few triggers we can be mindful of watching during times of change. Some included: History of this particular type of change: Think about how have you been in the past with the change you are experiencing now? Remember that past behavior can help you to predict future behavior. Beware of the fear of loss that Bosnick says creates insecurity and unsureness. Beware of the fear of the unknown. Lacking a plan. Fear of giving up our freedom. If you are going through a change right now, look at the change response quadrant figure 12.2 and see where you would place yourself. Are you clearly in the Bring it On Quadrant, or are you going back and forth between being open-minded (and ready for change) or close-minded (and unsure of yourself). Look at the list of triggers and see if any of these are causing you to experience a threat response in your brain. What I love about Bosnick's book, is how many reflection activities he has, in addition to the Companion Workbook that goes along with this text. Bosnick suggests to “build a positive change network” so you don't need to face change on your own. He suggests adding in new social connections to increase the positive rewards in your life, and minimize the threat responses you might face. What Else Does Neuroscience Say About Change? Can we really change our nervous system—specifically our actions and behaviors that will lead us to NEW conditions, circumstances and environments in our life? Can we with focus, and with the use of our will, become more open-minded to change in our life? After learning about how our brain either feels threatened or rewarded during times of change, I wondered what Dr. Andrew Huberman would suggest and I found an episode he did back in 2021 on “How Your Brain Works and Changes”[xi] that gave me some insight into how I can change my actions and behaviors to be more open-minded, getting me to that “Bring it on” Quadrant, so that I'll see the change I'm experiencing as a reward, instead of a threat. I think this is brilliant! Using our understanding of practical Neuroscience to actually change our brain, and lean into change, with an open-minded, active mindset, keeping our brain primed for rewards, and aware of how to mitigate threats. Dr. Huberman suggests that in order to change our actions and behavior towards something, we must first of all understand how this part of our brain works in our nervous system. He dives into an hour long explanation you can watch, but I will give you the short-cut version. He explains that our nervous system consists of these five things: We experience sensation (we have neurons that see color, feel sensations, taste, smell). We can't change our sensory receptors. We experience perception (our ability to take what we are sensing or paying attention to) and focus on it. He says we can put a spotlight on something we want to pay attention to, for example. Then we have our feelings/emotions (like happiness, sadness, boredom, frustration) and he reviews how neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers argue (like crazy) about this topic, and how emotions/feelings work. Dr. Huberman says that it all goes back to understanding that there are certain neuromodulators that have a profound impact on our emotional state. Dopamine (involved with motivation and reward, and important with things outside of ourselves, things we want to pursue) and serotonin tends to help us to feel good with what we have. Dr. Huberman reminds us that “feelings and emotions are contextual” and that while showing joy/sadness can be appropriate in some cultures, it can also be inappropriate in others. While he says, there are no “happiness” or “sadness” circuits in our brain, but it is fair to say that “certain chemicals, and certain brain circuits tend to be active when we are in a happy/focused state, certain brain circuits tend to be active when we are also in a non-focused, or lazy state” (Dr. Huberman) It makes sense to me here to do our best to lean into the happy focused state as often as we can, knowing we could use the happiness brain chemicals in our pursuit of new things. Then our thoughts: that are like our perceptions, but they draw on “not just what's happening in the present, but also things we remember from the past, and things we anticipate in the future…and our thoughts can be controlled in a deliberate way” (Dr. Huberman). We have spent a considerable amount of time on this podcast talking about how important our thoughts are, with ways to lean into positive thinking, and put a hard STOP on the negative thoughts that come our way. Then finally our actions and behaviors that Dr. Huberman considers to be the most important part to our nervous system. Our actions and behaviors he says are the only things that will create any “fossil record” of our existence. Or I say, they will be what will determine our legacy, or the impact we want to have on the outside world. When we die, our body disintegrates. The sensations, perceptions, feelings and emotions, or thoughts we had in our lifetime “none of these are carried forward” except the ones that we convert into actions (like writing, or actually doing something with the things we THINK about. Our legacy, or “fossil record” is through the ACTION we take in our life. IMAGE CREDIT: Hand drawn from Andrea's notes from Dr. Andrew Huberman's Solo SP Jan 3, 2001 "How Your Brain Works"  At this point, I can draw back on MANY episodes where we have focused on taking action (rather than just thinking of what we want to do) but we are focused on the Neuroscience of Change right now. How can we stay open-minded to bring on change in 2024 and keep moving forward? Dr. Huberman has us reflect back on what builds our Nervous System (our sensations, our perceptions, feelings and emotions, our thoughts) and they ALL lead to this one last part, our ability to TAKE ACTION. He says that we do “have the ability to change our nervous system” and this is when we “deliberately put our focus on something that we want to do.” This is where the work comes in here. When we want to “learn something new, CHANGE something (like a behavior) and he gives the example of learning to resist speaking, or force yourself to be quiet where we want to actively suppress our behavior and CHANGE our BEHAVIOR or ACTIONS. When are suppressing a circuit in our brain, (using our forebrain that is fully developed by age 22) to do something different (that's challenging to us) norepinephrine (adrenaline) is released and it will create a feeling of challenge or agitation as you engage these neurocircuits to push yourself past this threshold of where you normally don't go. In the situation where we are learning to not speak, and withhold something we really want to say, we are putting self-regulation into action. “You will feel limbic friction that comes from this top-down processing.” (Dr. Huberman). Think about any time you have tried to take a new action or behavior. You'll feel annoyed (which is really the adrenaline that's released from your brain). “Agitation and strain is the entry point to neuroplasticity” Dr. Huberman If we can push past this agitation and strain, we will be changing our brain, our actual nervous system, as we create a NEW change of behavior in our life. This brings me to a quote by Peter Senge where he says that “people don't resist change. They resist being changed.” That feeling of agitation will come up during change, and when the change is your choice…or something that you really want to do, you will push past the threshold to overcome the change. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude this week's episode #339 on “The Neuroscience of Change” we looked at two examples of what happens to our brain when we see something our brain wasn't expecting, like the breathtaking view, or when we land the promotion we worked so hard to achieve, Bosnick explains “we feel like we got a reward. It's a rush. We get a sensation in our brain and a hit of the big neurochemicals” dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, norephinephrine, adrenaline.” (Page 132, Ch 12, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership). But when we see a bear in the woods, (or snake on the hiking trails), or we are overlooked for a promotion at work, our brain actually sees this “like it's a threat. We feel tense, stressed, pressure…our body physically feels it.” We learned that “Neuroscience has shown us, that the feeling we get from a social or emotional threat (like being passed over for the promotion) is the same as the feeling we get from a physical threat (like seeing a bear or a snake). When we see how our brain interprets “everything and everyone we meet as either a reward or a threat” we can better understand “how our body reacts, (and) our brain and mind think, (leading) to the decisions, behaviors and actions we make.” (Page 132, Ch 12, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership). Next we reviewed Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs that led to “Self-Determination Theory” around the year 2000 where researchers found that there were “three physiological needs: the need for Competence (feeling valued for our knowledge, skills and experience), the need for Relatedness (collaborating, connecting or serving others) and the need for Autonomy (being able to exercise self-regulation…to achieve our goals.” (Page 133, Ch 12, Bosnick). We learned that when our ACRES are being met, (our autonomy, competence, relatedness, equity, and sureness) it will put us in a toward state and we will fully embrace everything ahead of us; (but) if our ACRES are threatened, it will put us in an “away state” and will then resist or block things ahead of us. Looking at Bosnick's ACRES example, we thought about work experience we did not enjoy, to see where it went against the ACRES Model of Needs. With brain science in mind, we can gain more understanding of why we either enjoyed, or didn't enjoy this experience. It all led back to how our brain either interprets the experience as a reward, or a threat. We looked at triggers to be aware of to mitigate threat, during times of change. Finally, we looked at how to change our nervous system, to change our actions and behaviors, so we can leave behind a legacy (or fossil record as Dr. Huberman calls it) that we are proud of. We learned that “Agitation and strain is the entry point to neuroplasticity” Dr. Huberman This is when lasting CHANGE is happening at the brain level, and impacting our entire nervous system. So when I'm working on something, (like trying to learn something new…like understanding the neuroscience of change for this episode) and that limbic friction feeling comes up, (and I'm annoyed or agitated) I now have a deeper understanding of what's happening at the brain level. I will now push forward, stay positive and lean into the change that I know is happening in my brain, as I embrace the change and say “Bring it on!” The Neuroscience of Change is an exciting topic, and it's only going to be strengthened with the next two topics, Agility and Resilience. To close, I'll revisit the quote from the great Sir Ken[xii], who's vision for creativity in our schools and workplaces of the future, is something that left a lasting impression on me. If we are afraid of change, of failing and doing something wrong, we will never come up with anything original.   I hope this episode has inspired you, like it has me, to lean into change, with brain science in mind, and keep working on the legacy or fossil record that you want to leave on the world. I'll see you next time.

How ticked Maria Lovelady & Michael Alan-Bailey are to talk about one of the most world renowned names in variety history Sir Ken Dodd from the woman who knew him best, his wife Lady Anne Dodd. But Lady Anne wasn't just Sir Ken's wife, a performer in her own right she was also his co-star, tour manager, stage manager, driver, wardrobe mistress, props mistress and now the proud ambassador of Sir Ken's comedy legacy. Documented and detailed in a brand new, self produced documentary film ‘The Real Ken Dodd: The Man I Loved' Lady Anne talks about the inception of the film and plans for a ‘Giggle Tour' around select UK theatres.We discuss many tattyfalarious topics from Sir Ken's dabble in Shakespeare to his backstage rituals and the passion that fuelled his crusade to save many UK theatres that seemed destined for closure. We also talk about Lady Anne's start in show business, some wild and spooky backstage encounters to her vocation, mission and future plans to continue the legacy of a world renowned genius.

On this final episode with Sir Ken Dodd the tribute to the King of Comedy. Thanks for listening to Eyes & Teeth. Please download, share and review over 200 episodes for free...Sir Ken Dodd was a national treasure and loved for over 70 years across the UK as one of our finest Comedians and Ventriloquists. He was the 6th Beatle, a pioneer, an encyclopaedia of humour and master of his stage craft. Ken adored people and spent time passing advice onto younger performers and even spent time talking equally to his fans, on trains, in libraries or at stage doors. I was lucky enough to tour with Ken Dodd for 5 years across the UK. He to me was my Godfather of Showbusiness and someone I will never forget watching from the wings during my spots. He was a one off but thanks to his wife Lady Anne Jones, Ken's legacy will live on for another 90 years and beyond and Knotty Ash will forever hold his heart and memories.In the final two episodes of Eyes and Teeth you can hear chats with Amethyst's Danny Hunt, Keith Simmons, Hilary O Neil, Nigel; Hogg, John Fisher, Anne Dodd, alongside many clips of the mans incredible work. Enjoy The land of the Diddy Man Doddy.

Here it is... The Final episode of Eyes and Teeth. Over 200 Episodes from Paul Adams to Sir Ken Dodd...This final episode is dedicated to those guests we have since lost including John Challis, Wyn Calvin, Paul Eastwood, Phil Butler, Duggie Brown & Dave Myers. I want to thank every single guest who took my calls and gave their time to make this show a cavalcade of variety chat to last for years to come.

Sir Ken Dodd's career spanned over 70 years in show business and might I say at the Top of his game. He was Liverpool's very own and even The Beatles adored him as one of the greatest comedians we have ever seen. Doddy as he was known to millions had an encyclopaedia of a mind for comedy words, gags, routines and song whilst also topping the charts with his own albums as he had a beautiful voice he didn't even need comedy to earn his living. Ken Dodd stayed true to his roots and never left his childhood home in Knotty Ash, Liverpool. He was Mr Variety, the GodFather of Comedy and King of the Diddy men.Although we lost Ken aged 90, he was still planning to return to the stage to continue touring but nature took its course and took from us an idol and someone who inspired many generations of comedians, actors, singers, magicians and ventriloquists across the country.In my final podcast in tribute to Sir Ken I talk with his friends, writers, support acts and his dear wife Lady Anne Jones about the man they loved and adored. And now he has left us there is more Doddy out there than ever so he will always be in Liverpool.Welcome to Eyes & Teeth Sir Ken Dodd xxx

On this episode we will cover: ✔︎ The importance of making mistakes and failing forward ✔︎ How an understanding of the most current research can improve productivity and results in our schools, sports and workplaces ✔︎ An important ingredient for change to occur ✔︎ A review of past episodes to consider what change you could initiate in your workplace ✔︎ Prepare for our NEXT EPISODE #210 with Dr. Jon Finn the author of The Habit Mechanic. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”--American architect, systems theorist, author, inventor, philosopher and futurist, Buckminster Fuller This quote made me think of why we launched this podcast in the first place. Not to fight against all the models that we struggle with in our world today, but to offer solutions like Sir Ken Robinson[i] did with his thought-provoking case of creating an educational system that nurtures, rather than undermines creativity. If you haven't watched Sir Ken's TED talk in a while, I encourage you to go back to it (it's got over 72 million views)—and you'll see how the concepts he talks about are still as valid today, as they were in 2006. Sir Ken's TED Talk reminded me that “all children have exceptional capacity for innovation” and that “creativity is as important as literacy” in our schools, but we tend to squander it. I could “ponder deeply” (Greg Link, EPISODE 207) about that for a while, and am always looking for ways to increase creativity and innovation for our next generation of students in the classroom. Sir Ken said something else that hit me on a deep level on his famous TED talk, as I sat at my desk, listening to his words, knowing that he's been gone for some time, but he's not really gone. His legacy lives on as he makes me think about his words and write this episode, making connections to past episodes and speakers, and sharing these thoughts with you, wherever you might be listening to this podcast. With one of his examples, he said “If you are not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original” when he shared a story of a four-year-old who wasn't afraid to be wrong and then he brought it back to how school teaches us that mistakes are the worst things you can make. Making me think again-- Am I afraid of making mistakes? Not so much anymore, but take me back to 7th grade, being wrong in class (in front of everyone) probably would have prevented me from trying in the future without someone there to encourage the idea of failing forward, which is such an important concept for us to all learn early. With today's episode on “The Neuroscience of Change” I'm hoping that we can all take Sir Ken's advice, and be prepared to be wrong, with the hopes that it somehow moves us forward. Looking back and connecting the many dots over my career, I know I wouldn't be here today on this podcast if an educator didn't sit me down in his office, and show me where he thought I was wrong and could improve my work and career path with this understanding of simple neuroscience as the solution. But it did take action on my part without worrying about the outcome. We've got to be prepared to be wrong first, Sir Ken reminds us. What about you? Do you have ideas that you would like to move forward with—to impact change? Maybe in your school, or to be used in sports with athletes, or in your workplace?  These episodes were created in the how-to format to generate ideas for all of us.  I hope we can all ponder deeply about this, think about where we would like to see change, write down some thoughts and ideas, and see if these ideas can take us to somewhere new, somewhere we've never been before, as we make connections with the neuroscience of change. For returning guests, welcome back, and for those who are new here, I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator, with a passion for learning, understanding difficult concepts, and breaking them down so that we can all use and apply the most current research to improve productivity and results in our schools, sports, and modern workplaces. Today's EPISODE #209, on “Using Neuroscience to Inspire Change” we will build off of our last two interviews where we dove deep into why The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book with Greg Link on EPISODE #207[ii] sold over 40 million copies worldwide, breaking the Covey organization through many obstacles along the way, taking them to where they had never been before not only in North America, but also in Japan, using many of the principles that connects the dots back to simple neuroscience, years before the research could explain their success. Or Blaine Oelkers from EPISODE #208[iii] who showed us how change begins in our mind with “what we think about.” We will continue to stretch our thinking on EPISODE #210 that's being recorded later next week with Dr. Jon Finn, author of The Habit Mechanic[iv] where he will show us how traditional approaches to being our best are outdated and ineffective and will really take our thinking to new heights when he shares the secret science behind an iconic sporting success, Roger Bannister, who is famous for being the first athlete to run the 4-minute mile, but did you know that Bannister's secret advantage had to do with the fact that at Oxford University, Bannister was training to be a medical doctor, and he used his understanding of the inner workings of the body to gain a competitive advantage over all other athletes, making his training “more effective and efficient.” (Page 59, The Habit Mechanic). As we begin this episode, I know there are some things that are very difficult to change and what I'm proposing here isn't easy at all. Beliefs run deep, and require some serious thought. We covered self-belief and identity on EPISODE #199[v] where we could actually see when our identity and self-belief forms in the brain and that this pathway is strengthened with daily practice (whether it's through meditation, a sport, or practicing an academic skill) that we learned from Dr. John Dunlosky's work all the way back to EPISODE #37[vi]. We covered “The Neuroscience of Belief” on EPISODE #173[vii] where we looked at cognitive bias, and challenging our beliefs which is important especially when we follow the most current brain research. I just learned yesterday that something I once believed, is no longer true as new research has already debunked it, and found there is a more effective way. On episode #159[viii], we looked at “The Power of Surprise” and how our brain secretly changes our beliefs, and then EPISODE #146[ix] with Howard Rankin, taught us “How NOT to Think.” The goal of this episode is not to change your mind, or challenge you to believe what I believe, (that an understanding of how our brain works can lead us all to increased productivity and results) but my goal is to show all of us that hearing those words “you are wrong” can actually lead to innovation, like Sir Ken told us, and to keep an open mind as we are learning. Especially as we move ahead with our interview with Dr. Finn next week, where we will see how the most current research leads to innovation, when we are ready to make change, without the fear of failure, or of being wrong. Just look at these examples and think about how “being wrong” could possibly move us forward, to uncover a new way. Right or Wrong? You Tell Me… If you are in the field of education, you'll likely be aware of the reading wars,[x] where one camp believes in teaching phonics versus the whole word, and each camp firmly believes in their methodology. I know I could create a presentation for a group of educators and show how an understanding of the science of reading could make you lean towards having more belief in the need to break words down as we are learning them, (and teach the skill of reading with the brain in mind) but this still might not convince a die-hard fan whose taught reading a certain way their entire career. Is there a right or wrong? Just keep an open mind and see if there could possibly be another way to teach a child to read—with the brain in mind. Like the reading wars, I learned about the “therapy and coaching wars” yesterday, where brain scans that began in the late 1990s now reveal that some of the practices that exist in traditional coaching and therapy are not effective,[xi] as they are not evidence-based. John Norcross, American professor, board-certified clinical psychologist and author in psychotherapy, behavior change and self-help has spent the past 15 years researching what works in psychotherapy, that can be applied to coaching/therapy as well. You can read the links in the show notes of what Dr. Norcross has discovered doesn't work in therapy or coaching, but I want to focus on one particular finding that he mentioned DOES work and that's when the client, or student is “self-initiating, self-motivated, and self-aware—with the ability to self-heal.”[xii] Which brings me back to our EPISODE with Greg Link where he talked about the “secret sauce” of Dr. Covey's success with the 7 Habits book, and he mentioned that the secret to their success came from the fact that people who attended Dr. Covey's events were “self-initiating” or they chose to be there. When they were not forced to attend his events, but chose from their own free will, they participated in an entirely different way than if they were told they had to attend. This is what Dr. Norcross noticed made psychotherapy work, and what Dr. Covey also noticed led to personal change with the 7 Habits. There does appear to be a neuroscience to change, and it has to do with “leaning in” to what you what to learn or accomplish. If you are listening to this podcast, you are also “leaning in” and open to change with the ideas that you are learning. This is how change occurs, one person at a time. Change in the Classroom: Scroll through our episodes and see if there are certain ones that stand out to you as interesting, and listen to those ones to generate new ideas for change and innovation in your school or classroom. I can't list all of them, but do highly recommend EPISODE #56[xiii] with Dr. Lori Desautels on her book “Connections Over Compliance” that rewires our perceptions for discipline in our schools, Greg Wolcott's EPISODE #64[xiv] on “Making Connections with Neuroscience and SEL,” EPISODE #78[xv] with Dr. David A. Sousa on “How the Brain Learns” and EPISODE #111[xvi] with resiliency expert Horacio Sanchez on “Finding Solutions to the Poverty Problem.”   Change in the Sports World: If you work with athletes, don't miss EPISODE #38[xvii] where we connected the daily grind required for success in the sports world to Dr. John Dunlosky's research of the importance of spaced repetition, or EPISODE #116[xviii] and #121[xix] where we saw how exercise impacts academic achievement, #134[xx] on wearable devices that measure and track sleep, strain and recovery, #163[xxi] on reading the emotions in others, and #166[xxii] on accelerating leadership for success in sports and the classroom.  Episode #168[xxiii] with Dr. Bruce Perry and Steve Graner uncovers the importance of teaching and coaching with the brain in mind. As we prepare for our episode with Dr. Finn next week, on “Fine-Tuning Your Brain to Supercharge How You Live, Work and Lead” and think of new ways to inspire creativity and innovation in our workplaces, without being afraid to make mistakes like Sir Ken reminded us, we will dive deep into the science behind habit building.  We will look closely at why some traditional approaches to being our best are outdated and ineffective, with an understanding of cutting edge science to better build our habits, to create higher levels of success in our future. And like Dr. Norcross pointed out, whatever we are learning today, might change in 30 years as new science is revealed…but that shouldn't stop us from looking at change through the lens of neuroscience, with the hope that what we can learn can take us to new heights in the meantime. I hope you enjoy reviewing some of our past episodes, or ones that you find interesting to your field of work, and I'll look forward to seeing you next week with Dr. Finn that I know will take us ALL to new levels of awareness. See you then!

Kate Robinson is a writer, speaker, and co- founder of a number of initiatives dedicated to the legacy of her father, Sir Ken Robinson. On the show, Kate shares some backstory on her father's life, and the journey that led to her completing his final piece of work. In Sir Ken and Kate's perspectives, there are 3 myths regarding creativity that hinder our advancement as a collective.  Creativity is about a certain group of people, “the creatives” Creativity is about certain things/subjects (music, writing, art, dance, etc) You're either creative or you're not  The truth is, creativity lives in each of us, it is a muscle that can be trained and strengthened, and there is space for creativity in every activity. Sir Ken and Kate define creativity as “the process of having original ideas that have value.” It is an ongoing process of idea creation and evaluation, and it can be applied to anything.  True change comes from those who dare to imagine. Creativity comes from within, and progress comes from diversity of thought. Identify your passion, tap into your creativity, and encourage others to do the same.  https://imagine-if.com/ Enjoy!

Two totally different people with different lives, but both of them know that laughter has saved their lives. We speak to how humor can not only heal but makes it easy for others to understand the challenging journey you are on in life. With Ken battling cancer again striving to find humor in it and Booby facing more operations for his burns, humor is the only way they get through it. https://selfdiscoverymedia.com/2017/01/24/pvr-17-05-sir-ken-miller-bobby-henline-speak-healing-humor/

Creativity and schools have often gone hand in hand over the past decade as we move onward in a progressive educational system, breaking away from the school designed to put students immediately into working factories or some other form of labor. Sir Ken breaks down the history of where we were and 8 chapters on where we are going and where we need to be. An asset for all administrators and those considering to go into the field.

Our last podcast with Mark Featherstone-Witty, Founding Principal of the Brit School and LIPA shortly after the tragic passing of Sir Ken Robinson inspired this short #TalkWalkers20 Series series in memory of Sir Ken and a contribution to his legacy. This one was recorded on our Pyramid Stage made form cardboard, code and creativity which we set up at BBC Television Center as you can see for the Creative Coalition 2020 Festival in London. Like the whole series, it features people who knew and worked with Sir Ken, in thsi case: Chair: Nick Corston - Dad, Co-founder, CEO of STEAM Co. Shona McCarthy - Chief Executive, Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society Kenneth Olumuyima Tharpe - Freelance Arts & Culture Consultant Anne Bamford - Strategic Director of Education and Skills , City of London

Mark Featherstone-Witty OBE is an educator and entrepreneur. He is the Founding Principal and Chief Executive of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts which he founded, with Paul McCartney, in the mid-1990s, after establishing the British Record Industry Trust BRIT School in Croydon with Richard Branson What an honour to interview him for this podcast series and how timely, with the tragic recent passing of one of Liverpool's founding fathers, Sir Ken Robinson. Hear what Mark says the English School's Minister, Nick Gibb said when he first met Sir Ken and also which Rocket Man he says is possibly going to be part of a tribute of some sort to his legacy. This podcast inspired our #TALKSWALKERS20 series, a series of chats with people who knew, worked with and were inspired by Sir Ken.

In this episode, Dan shares the audio of an interview he recorded with the late Sir Ken Robinson several years ago.  Sir Ken Robinson PhD died on the 21st August 2020 after a short battle with cancer. A New York Times bestselling author, he led national and international projects on creative and cultural education across the world, unlocking and igniting the creative energy of people and organisations. Sir Ken was the most watched speaker in TED’s history, with his 2006 talk ‘Do Schools Kill Creativity?’ being viewed online over 60 million times.

This week's show is an interview with the late @SirKenrobinson, one of life's true gentlemen and strong men. Sir Ken's work in education is unparalleled when it comes to his reach. The @TED talk 'Do Schools Kill Creativity' is still the most widely watched and downloaded TED talk of all time. Being an 'academic' himself, Sir Ken has been a product of the education system, worked professionally within it and then challenged it for decades to appeal for change. Why did Sir Ken strongly believe that creativity needed to be introduced and included in the education curriculum and what lead him to challenge Tony Blair's Labor government in the late '90s? What is 'alternative' education to Sir Ken and how can we get some of these ideas and practices spread into the mainstream system? This decade will see a huge fundamental shift in education and will look very different in 10 years from now. Words cannot describe how saddened I was to learn of Sir Ken's passing. I hope this interview will go some way to helping spread his work and keeping this conversation alive. Thank you Sir Ken. Links To Sir Ken Robinson's work.

In this episode, Scott and John pay tribute to Sir Ken Robinson, who passed away last month. Sir Ken was a guru amongst guru's in education, and his writing and vlogs are a lasting legacy to rethinking learning, teaching and schooling.

In Episode 50 of The Staffroom Podcast, Chey and Pav talk about Sir Ken Robinson. Sir Ken passed away earlier in the week, and his passing left Chey and Pav very reflective with his teaching philosophies and ideas towards education. He was a British author, speaker and international advisor on education in the arts. Most educators would know him from his inspiring Ted Talk entitled, "Do Schools Kill Creativity." Chey and Pav both provide lots of anecdotal stories and commentary with respect to their experiences with Sir Ken, and the extent to which their teaching philosophies have been based upon their learning from Sir Ken Robinson. Chey talks about how the educational philosophies have been cornerstone to much of the agency and ownership of his grade 8 students within his class every year. Pav talks about some of the reflecting she has done on Ken in the past few days, from re-listening to his Ted Talk to finding some rich discussions in podcasts recorded as recently as a few months ago. Chey and Pav introduce Jillian DuBois, Grade 2 teacher from Clearwater, Florida for their 3 Enlightened Minutes segment. Jillian talks about the ways in which she has found JOY, from her connections with people on Twitter, to the learning that she has done along her journey within education. Jillian has a brilliant blog, website and podcast that you should certainly check out! After the 3 Enlightened Minutes segment, Chey and Pav wrap up by briefly talking about their experiences with pedagogy within their spaces, and also where education can potentially go in the future. Remember to Inspire, Don't Require, always be a Humble Servant, and Education Never Dies.

In February 2006, Sir Ken Robinson (http://sirkenrobinson.com/) stepped onto the TED stage and delivered the most viewed talk in the history of TED, entitled Do Schools Kill Creativity. Viewed by than 66 million people, Sir Ken called on us to re-examine how we learn, and to encourage every kid, every person to seek out the myriad unique ways intelligence shows up in every one of our lives, then honor and build around it. To reimagine and even revolutionize the way we see each person’s gift, their brilliance, and create opportunities that nurture it, even if that means blowing up the rigid systems that serve some, but also utterly demoralize and sometimes even demonize others. He reminds us to ask not "how intelligent are you?" but rather, "how are you intelligent?"He devoted his adult life to creating and stoking the fires of a global creativity and education revolution. I had the amazing gift of sitting down with him in the studio a number of years back to not only explore his ideas, but also his personal story. Growing up in post World War II Liverpool, a fiercely-active kid who loved soccer and hope to one day play professionally (though, of course, he called it football), his dreams were cut short when he got polio at the age of four, forever changing the course of his life, leaving him with physical disabilities, and exposing him to the profound injustice that awaits so many kids labeled as “different.” His experience as a kid, in no small part, became the source fuel for his unrelenting devotion to recognizing, celebrating and supporting how each child, each person needs to come into themselves in their own unique way. I was profoundly moved not only by his work, but by his lens on life, family, creativity and service, and the story he told in the way he lived his life.You may notice I’ve been speaking about him in the past tense. Sir Ken Robinson passed away on Friday, August 21st at the age of 70 after a short battle with cancer. So, we wanted to share this “Best Of” conversation from our 2015 archives in honor of his life and his extraordinary will to make a difference, both a tribute and a provocation to explore how we all show up in the world, and commit to making meaning.You can find more about Sir Ken Robinson at:Website : http://sirkenrobinson.com/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/sirkenrobinson/Check out our offerings & partners: GiveWell: GiveWell searches for the charities that save or improve lives the most per dollar.

Our hearts ache with the loss of Sir Ken, after an extraordinary life as one of the world’s leading thinkers on creativity and innovation.   Sir Ken Robinson Ph.D. passed peacefully on 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer. Sir Ken is well known and respected for his TED talk lecture called "Do Schools Kill Creativity" and is an NYT bestselling author. He is a force for good in championing the notion that the non-academic components of our education system should be considered with deep reverence, especially with how they can help culture a new form of children and humanity out in the world solving the biggest problems of today.  Sir Ken, you will be deeply missed. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, interview you, and get to share your wisdom with the world through Transcendence 2. For that, I will be forever grateful.  In this week's episode with Sir Ken Robinson you’ll discover: The founding principles and history of mass public education. The concept of academic ability and disability among a population. Sir Ken’s childhood experience with his own physical disability. How the way we interact with animals has changed in recent years. How creativity is the executive wing of imagination and how we can express this in our own lives. The characteristics of language, visual art, and the growth of human civilization. Diversity vs conformity; how this is present in our culture and the natural world. Practical applications for cultivating more creativity and broadening the ways we educate ourselves and our children.

This episode is being published within a couple of days of the very sad news that Sir Ken Robinson has died.  He was perhaps the world’s leading thinker and expert on creativity and innovation. His original TED talk, do schools kill creativity, is the most watched in the history of TED. If you haven’t seen it, take 18 minutes and watch it. It’s extraordinary. Ken believed in the potential of every child. At its core, his message was profound and simple. Every human being is remarkable. I was fortunate to spend a fair amount of time with Ken between 2006 and 2008. Everywhere he went, people stopped him to say that watching his talk had changed their life. My sense from watching people’s response to Ken was they thought he believed in them more than they believed in themselves. He was 70 when he died, much too young. But his legacy is extraordinary. If you haven’t watched his TED talks, I encourage you to take a few minutes and do that. They might just change your life. This episode is a conversation with Stephanie Nadi Olson - founder and CEO of We Are Rosie. They are a very modern business, built to match marketing talent with opportunity in dynamic and flexible ways. If you were going to design a business to confront the challenges of these two viruses, WeAreRosie would be a pretty good blueprint to follow.  They are built to unlock the potential of people. I suspect Sir Ken would have approved.

With the news over the weekend of Sir Ken Robinson's passing, it seems fitting to revisit his 2017 Art Ed Radio interview. Sir Ken was a world-renowned expert on creativity and innovation, and his TED Talk, "Do Schools Kill Creativity?", is still the most viewed TED Talk of all time. In this wide-ranging, nearly hour-long interview, he and Tim covered a plethora of topics. Listen as they discuss the evolution of Sir Ken's career and his move to the United States, testing culture around the world, the role of creativity in preparing students for the future, a possible way forward for our schools, and how teachers can affect change from their own classrooms.

Episode 72 of The Teaching Space Podcast explores the skill of public speaking and why it is relevant to teachers and trainers. Introduction Today’s episode is based on a blog post I wrote a few years back on public speaking. I really wanted to make an audio version; so here it is. Before I launch into this topic, I want to say this: teaching is SO MUCH MORE than public speaking. I don't believe good public speakers necessarily make good teachers. In fact, often, they're terrible. The role of the teacher is to facilitate learning; not to talk ALL THE TIME. However, I do believe that improving your public speaking skills can have a positive and powerful effect on your teaching, but probably not for the reason you think. I mean, yes, working on your speaking skills focuses you on communicating clearly. That's important. But the most positive outcome is this: you appear confident. While you may not feel confident on the inside, you project confidence to everyone around you. This will elevate your teaching to a higher level. In business, we call it relationship marketing. You aim to project yourself in such a way that prospective customers will begin to know, like and trust you. Teaching isn't that different really. You want your learners to know, like and trust you so you have the opportunity to create a learning environment in which they thrive and have the best chance of success. What follows are my thoughts on how to improve your public speaking if you are faced with the terrifying task of giving a speech or talk. Public Speaking is Terrifying Every single time I talk to a group of people I experience the same feelings: fear, anxiety and an overwhelming desire to be sick. Even preparing to podcast (ahem… that’s basically talking to myself) gives me butterflies. But I love it. And apparently, I look like I love it too. After a talk, people often ask, "Were you nervous?" My immediate reply is always, "Yes, terrified". My response surprises them. Despite the fact that I find public speaking nerve-wracking, I love it, and I can present in a confident, capable way. How is That Possible? With careful preparation, as well as the use of specific routines, I can reduce my fear to a manageable level. I have learned to re-frame my nerves positively. We learn stress and anxiety are bad, and more often than not, they are. But pre-performance nerves, whether you are a speaker, athlete, teacher, or actor, can be an asset. You just need to know how to transform those nerves from negative to positive. A Bit of Biology It’s useful to understand what happens to our bodies when we are nervous. It’s all about the brain. Your brain has one important job - to keep you alive. It makes your organs work and keeps you safe. When you are in a potentially dangerous situation, for example, standing in front of a group of people, preparing to speak, you experience the feeling of fear. In response to your fear, your brain releases adrenaline and other stress hormones such as cortisol in preparation for a “fight or flight” response. Adrenaline super-charges you so that you’ve got extra energy and power for fight or flight. It’s amazing - you can even see and hear better. The more fearful you are, the greater the adrenaline surge. How Does This Help Me? If you perceive a situation to be utterly terrifying, there is going to be a lot of adrenaline shooting through your body. A bit of adrenaline is good. Too much adrenaline is going to make you feel awful (heart thumping, sweating, panic… you’ll be opting for “flight" any moment). The brain does not know what you are scared of - it only knows your emotional reaction to the thing that scares you. If you are feeling terrified, it’s going flood your body with adrenaline. If you are only mildly scared, less adrenaline is needed. That’s the key. If you can make the prospect of speaking in public seem less scary, your body will not produce as much adrenaline. You can do this through practice, careful preparation and routine. The second thing we can do is carefully manage the remaining adrenaline and use it positively. Here are some strategies to help before, during, and after your public speaking engagement. Before Become A Better Speaker If you know you are a good public speaker, your feeling of confidence will dramatically reduce your fear. The more public speaking you do, the more confident you become. You’ll still feel some nerves - this is healthy. Anyone who walks into a public speaking gig with no nerves at all is cocky. Cocky people aren’t engaging. They are irritating. If you are new to public speaking you need to practice, but not necessarily in front of others at this stage. That comes later. One of the best ways to improve your public speaking is to record yourself and listen back. Video is better than audio, but let’s take one step at a time. It’s going to make you cringe but do it anyway. Listen out for: Verbal fillers: for example, “umm” and “err”. We use fillers because gaps in speech make us uncomfortable. Also, they buy us "thinking time". Verbal fillers can irritate your audience. After a while, it’s all they can hear. They focus on counting the number of times you say “like” and ignore your actual message completely. Try to minimise your use of verbal fillers and instead, just pause. A pause can be incredibly engaging. Popular TED speaker, Sir Ken Robinson, demonstrates this beautifully. He’s also got fantastic comic timing - if you want to see a master public speaker at work, watch as much Sir Ken as much as you can. (Incidentally, I am aware I used some verbal fillers on this podcast; “so” is a favourite. I’m aiming for a very conversational style for the show, and as such, I leave fillers in so it sounds natural. This advice is about formal public speaking where different standards apply.) Pace: the excess adrenaline caused by fear makes everything move a bit more quickly. In a traditional “fight or flight” situation, it would be your legs or fists moving fast. When you are giving a talk, it will be your breathing and speech that speed up. Public speaking is very different to conversing with just one person. You need to remember your audience is made up of lots of different individuals. Perhaps some speak English as a second language or are not familiar with your accent. You want to speak to be understood by all, so you must speak more slowly than normal. It will feel odd, but re-record yourself speaking more slowly and listen. Also, practice pausing. Mouth sounds: microphones pick up the (utterly gross) sound a dry mouth makes. Nerves will make your mouth dry. Drink water before giving your speech (not too much - remember the effects adrenaline can have on your bladder) and if possible, have water available during your talk. Once you’ve practised alone, it’s time to bring in some trusted friends for feedback. Your family are either going to be too kind or too harsh when it comes to giving feedback (I learned that one the hard way!) Find trusted friends who will provide genuine, constructive feedback. Ask them to identify what you are doing well, and your areas for improvement. Know Your Audience You cannot prepare for a public speaking engagement without understanding who your audience are. Ask yourself these key questions: Why are they there? What are their expectations of you? You could take this exercise a step further and “design” your typical audience member. Give them a name, appearance, age, employment history, religious and political views. Then prepare a talk just for them. Structure Public speaking starts with writing. Many of the rules for crafting a compelling story apply to writing a speech. For example: Ensure your talk as a beginning, middle and end. If appropriate, recap regularly and sum up at the end. Outline your topics first using headings or keywords - then build your sentences. Engage your audience from the start. Ask questions. Interact. Use the rule of three to reinforce points (for example “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”). Show don’t tell - use examples and stories to illustrate your point. It will be far more memorable. Write the speech from start to finish and read it out loud, record it and get feedback. Cue Cards Of course, you don’t want to read your speech word for word on the day. If you do, you will not get a chance to engage with your audience. It’s boring watching someone speak to you with their face buried in a pile of notes. Your speech needs to be distilled down to discrete cue cards. Here are some tips for creating cue cards: Use a sentence or heading, to sum up the topic of each card. Include keywords to jog your memory. Type your cue cards if there is any chance you won’t be able to read your handwriting on the day. Colour code your cue cards if your speech includes key themes. Number your cards. Write on one side of each card only. Include approximate timings on your cards. Use plenty of white space. Think about answers to likely questions and put them on relevant cards. Power Posing And Routine In Amy Cuddy’s popular TED talk, and later in her book “Presence”, she explores the effect positive body language can have on the mind. Cuddy advocates a “fake it till you make it” approach to confidence. If you look and sound confident - you will be more confident. Use the power of body language to melt nerves away. It might sound like a load of old bunkum, but what have you got to lose? Try holding a Wonder Woman style pose (stand straight, hands on hips, chin up) for a few minutes before you make a speech. Use your posing time to centre your body and mind and then go for it. Your power pose, combined with some deep breathing and quiet time, might just stem the flow of excess adrenaline and allow you to turn those butterflies into an asset. I’d recommend turning a chain of activities like this into a habit. Routines are calming and can ground you before stepping into the unknown. During Once you’ve started to speak, you won’t have the mental capacity to remember long and complicated coping strategies. Here are just a few simple things you can do: If it’s appropriate, have water with you. You can take a sip to fix a dry mouth, or at any point, if you lose your train of thought or need a moment to centre yourself, take a sip. Wear breathable, comfortable clothes, where possible. Don’t wear a colour that will show up an attack of stress sweating. If you are on a stage with lighting, it will be warm - bear that in mind. Think about your physical status. I have a fantastic book called Teach Yourself The Clinton Factor by David Gillespie and Mark Warren which explores the power of status. Regardless of your feelings for ex-American President Bill Clinton, he was an incredibly charismatic communicator. Think about your physicality when presenting to a group of people on a scale of one to ten (one being small, quiet and ineffectual; ten being over the top, loud and dictatorial). Imagine this not only in terms of physical status (stance, hand gestures, eye contact and facial expression) but also vocal tone and vocabulary. One of the reasons President Clinton was popular with so many different types of people (despite, ahem… some significant misdemeanours) was he always pitched his presentation between five and seven. He was sufficiently “presidential” but also “normal” and subsequently very engaging. Can you use this when you give a speech? You must make eye contact with people when presenting or speaking to them. Don’t single out one person - share your eye contact with the room. Write the word “breathe” on every cue card. You might forget! Excess adrenaline makes you breath more quickly. Slowing your breathing down will calm you, make you feel better and slow your pace. After Take a moment to reflect on what you’ve just achieved. Take note of what your body feels like now the fear has gone. I suspect it will feel pretty good. That’s why I love public speaking.

Do schools kill creativity? Back in 2006, Sir Ken Robinson posed this question to the TED audience – and boy, did it touch a nerve. More than fifty million views and a decade later, Chris sits down with Sir Ken to dig into the changes and progress that have been made, and see if the answer now is any different. How are educators thinking about creativity these days? And why should creativity be a focus at all? With his characteristic verve, wit and sparkle, Sir Ken explains all.

In our last +1, we had fun hanging out with your Genius.    Recall: EVERYONE in ancient Roman times was said to have their own guiding spirit, or “genius” that helped them rock it.    That reminds me of Sir Ken Robinson. In The Element, he tells us that our whole concept of “intelligence” is backward.   Rather than ask, “How intelligent are you?” we SHOULD be asking “HOW are you intelligent?”   We all have our own Geniuses. And… We all have our own different kinds of Intelligence.    So…   How are you intelligent?   As we get clarity on that, Sir Ken tells us that we all have the potential to connect to what he calls “the Element.” It’s that force within us that allows us to live with deeper meaning and mojo and joy.    The Element has two parts: Passion + Aptitude.   Two questions will help us +1 our clarity:   What do you LOVE to do? As in, you’d do this in your free time or even pay to do it? This is your passion.   What are you naturally good at? What can you do relatively easily that most people can’t do at all? This is your aptitude.   Passion + Aptitude = The Element.   Sir Ken tells us the world NEEDS us to discover our Element. I agree. Now more than ever.   Let’s do the work to discover our Element and then, of course, have the courage to live it!

Podcast Episode 3 Transcript Welcome to Episode 3 of The Teaching Space podcast. Today I'd like to share with you seven books that have made me a better teacher. My Reading Habit I should add, at this point, that I read between 2 and 4 books a month. I'm an avid reader but I wouldn't be able to read this much if I didn't listen to audiobooks. I consume all books via audio, with the exception of maybe one or 2 a year. It's an extremely efficient way to read. The downside of this is that there aren't many decent teaching books on Audible which is where I get my audiobooks from. So the books that I'm going to share with you today are about general personal development. I hope you find them interesting.  Here goes: (1) Finish by Jon Acuff My first book is Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done by Jon Acuff. I struggle to finish things. I'm a chronic starter so this book really appealed to me. While Jon Acuff's book is actually aimed at entrepreneurs rather than teachers, it includes some highly relevant, sometimes surprising strategies, for actually getting stuff finished.  The biggest takeaway for me from this book was the fact that perfectionism is one of the main barriers to finishing anything. We explore perfectionism in teachers and trainers in episode one of the podcast. (2) Talk Like TED by Carmine Gallo Next up is Talk Like TED by Carmine Gallo. Teaching is, of course, far more than simply presenting. But we could do a lot worse than following the example of top TED speakers like Sir Ken Robinson. This book shares the public speaking and presentation secrets of many of the world's best TED speakers. It's definitely worth a read or listen.  (3) How to be a Productivity Ninja by Graham Allcott My next book is How to be a Productivity Ninja by Graham Allcott. Teachers and trainers are some of the busiest people I know, so this is a must-read. I'm going to read you out the blurb from Amazon because it captures the book perfectly: "In the age of information overload, traditional time management techniques simply don’t cut it when it comes to overflowing inboxes, ever-expanding to-do lists and endless, pointless meetings. Thankfully there is a better way: The Way of the Productivity Ninja. Using techniques including Ruthlessness, Mindfulness, Zen-like Calm and Stealth & Camouflage you will get your inbox down to zero, make the most of your attention, beat procrastination and learn to work smarter, not harder." (4) Presence by Amy Cuddy Book choice 4 is Presence by Amy Cuddy. If you have not watched Amy Cuddy's famous TED Talk "Your body language may shape who you are", you absolutely must! Following on from this talk, in her book, Cuddy shows us we need to stop worrying about the impression we are making on others and instead change the impression we make on ourselves. Cutting-edge science reveals that if we adopt behaviours reflecting power and strength we liberate ourselves from the fears and doubts that obstruct us. So by redirecting our thoughts actions and even our physiology, we are freeing ourselves to be our very best. This is powerful stuff and really useful for working with students as well as working on your own self-confidence. (5) Out of our Minds by Sir Ken Robinson Book number 5 is Out of Our Minds by Sir Ken Robinson (one of my personal heroes!) I'm going to sum up the book with a quote from Sir Ken. He's so eloquent that it's all I really need to read to convince you to read this book: "It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential—in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities—we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative." - Sir Ken Robinson (6) Getting Things Done With Work Life Balance by David Allen Next up is Getting Things Done With Work Life Balance by David Allen. This book contains a detailed explanation of Allen's GTD system. One of the biggest takeaways for me was the idea of having one trusted place to put all of your ideas and your to-do items so you don't have them scattered around in various apps and on scraps of paper.  While I don't follow the entire system of GTD there are elements of it that I still use today in my own approach to productivity. This is a very interesting read. (7) Mindset: the New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dwek My final book is Mindset: the New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dwek. In this brilliant book, Dwek shows how success in school, work, sports and the arts, and almost every area of human endeavour, can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. In other words, our mindset. This book (Mindset by Carol S. Dweck) is transformative for teachers and learners alike. There you have it. Those are seven books that I believe have made me a better teacher. I hope they are of interest to you too.  Book Club? I have been thinking about starting a book club in my private Facebook group The Teaching Space Staff Room. Wrap Up That's it for me today. I hope I've given you something to think about.

Matthew Bannister on The comedy writer Alan Simpson. With his partner Ray Galton, he created classic sitcoms including Hancock's Half Hour and Steptoe and Son. Brunhilde Pomsel who was the secretary to the Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels. Sir Ken Morrison, the Yorkshireman who built up the family grocery firm to become Britain's fourth largest supermarket chain. And the Nigerian born novelist Buchi Emecheta who overcame prejudice to follow her passion for writing.

In February 2006, Sir Ken Robinson stepped onto the TED stage and delivered a scathing indictment of the modern educational system, entitled "How Schools Kill Creativity."That talk exploded into the public's consciousness and has since become the most watched TED Talk in history, with more than 32 million views and more than 250 million people estimated to have seen it. While it may not have started the conversation on education, it brought a level of global attention to the problem like never before.In the intervening 9 years, Robinson has continued to speak and evangelize a different approach to education built not around order and conformity, but passion and personalization. And he's written a series of bestselling books with his newest, Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution that's Transforming Education, featuring inspiring "schools done right" case-studies to both learn from and build around.Even more remarkable than Robinson's fierce intellect and provocative ideas is where he came from. Growing up in post-World War II Liverpool, he was stricken with polio at the age of four, forever changing the course of his life and exposing him to the profound injustice that awaits so many kids labeled as "different."In this week's conversation, Sir Ken and Jonathan sit down for a rare conversation about not only Robinson's ideas, but where those ideas came from, his childhood battle and then lifelong experience with polio and his extraordinary will to make a difference.He reminds us to ask not "how intelligent are you?" but rather, "how are you intelligent?"We first aired this conversation in April 2015. I'm so excited to share this "Best Of" episode with you now.

Sir Ken Robinson would like you to know that even if you think you aren’t good at anything, you still have talents – and probably lots of them. “We’re all born with immense, natural, creative abilities,” he said in an interview with National Public Radio. But somewhere during our days in school, we learn that being ‘creative’ only means being good at things like art or music or writing poetry, even though many adults – from scientists and historians, to cooks and construction workers – are creating and exploring new ideas every day. Discovering what you like to do and then figuring out how to learn to do it well means you will be able to create your own life – and recreate it when you want to change. Taking chances and experimenting may mean goofing up or making mistakes, he says, because if you’re not willing to be wrong, you won’t come up with anything new or original. A quiet kid who spent years recovering from polio, a dangerous disease that left him wearing leg braces, Sir Ken spent most of his time reading and watching from the sidelines. Then when he was a teenager, despite being terrified, he agreed to be part of a family musical production. To his surprise, he discovered that he liked being on a stage, talking and acting. He found that his talent is communicating and working with people, which he’s done as a writer, researcher, adviser, and teacher. Today, he works with schools, government organizations in the United States and Great Britain, and many private and public organizations that want to improve education and promote the arts. What’s most important for kids to know as they go through school? Explore your own talents, find what you’re good at, he says, and know that you can and will create your own life, by yourself. Respect where you come from but don’t be locked into that one place. And be prepared – but not afraid – to be wrong! In this episode, Mason interviews education expert Sir Ken Robinson at the Bob Baker Marionette Theatre in Los Angeles.

To round off the Christmas play I have sent you two of the remaining songs….”Santa’s Song” and “In Me Christmas Stockin’”…..we have reached the stage where after our main hero Jimmy who doesn’t believe in Father Xmas wakes up on Xmas morning with no presents thus,to his mind,proving his point so he wanders round to his pals house to let him know he is right…meeting the milkman and the postman on the way…neither of whom can convince him he is wrong….he arrives at his mate’s to find him with all his presents….his pal then takes him down the road where Santa is just about to take off for home….he recognises Jimmy and tells him “if you don’t believe …you don’t get”….Jimmy apologises but Santa tells him it’s too late…he’ll have to wait til next year…Santa then sings his song explaining that it’s not just a once a year job.(Santa was played by my mate Carl Chase who can be seen in films like “The Mummy” and “Cut Throat Island”)….Jimmy is shattered….then suddenly he finds himself in his bedroom….he had been dreaming after all…AND he had a stack of presents….and his mum says she found a note on his pillow “I decided to make one more stop”…so WAS it in fact a dream?....the play finishes with Jimmy singing “In Me Xmas Stockin’”….. The play was broadcast by Radio City on two consecutive Christmas’s and was nominated for a Sony Award….it was taken up by many schools in the area which resulted in me writing two more follow ups. 2.I watched a programme on Ken Dodd…what an incredible man….to me he is the greatest entertainer the world has ever produced. Considering his age he is still at the top of his game….his contribution to show business is mammoth….and yet the powers that be have never awarded him a knighthood which he thoroughly deserves…maybe he is too funny (unlike the comedians of today) or maybe they are too busy awarding knighthoods to the likes of Jimmy Savile and Rolph Harris…to me he will always be SIR Ken Dodd. ….nowadays we have to put up with the likes of “Chattyman” Alan Carr squawking away with his unfunny gay inuendo 3.I read an article which made me smile….apparently Janette Tough who is Jimmy Krankie is to have a part in the “Absolutely Fabulous” film with Joanna Lumley and co doing their bit…Janette plays a Chinaman….but because her face is painted YELLOW…GOD FORBID…there have been screams of “RACIST!””….have you ever heard such absolute tripe…this P.C. lot need to get over themselves before they destroy comedy once and for all…it’s pathetic…it HUMOUR for heaven’s sake…..might as well cancel all pantos before some moron decides the dame is homophobic. Janette and Ian are friends of mine and they are a delightful couple who haven’t got a racist bone in their bodies….time some of our population got real. 4.On a similar subject…when you see these wonderful school Christmas plays and nativities what you are seeing a is a collection of young human beings who see each other as equal…there is no hatred no jealousy etc….the problem with the world today is the poison put into these innocent minds by parents who want to live through their kids. We go on about how kids should be taught when in fact they could teach us a lesson or two….maybe one day the world will see this. 5.We have had some very strange weather in this country lately….14 – 16 degrees in DECEMBER….warmest since records began…maybe I misheard our wonderful TV forecasters back in September when we were warned of temperatures of MINUS 30 degrees on their way…pretty close eh?...how much are these “experts” on again?....it’s very strange when blossoms are appearing on trees and daffodils are sprouting….personally I prefer the standard winter with a bite in the air. Had a stroll around the Chester wall this week…extremely quiet…I thought the shops would be heaving…not so…very strange….but very nice.

Sheran James examines 12 ways to be creative–in life not art–with insights from a variety of economists, scientists, doctors, engineers and others including Sir Ken Robinson (more to come in my own interview with Sir Ken next week) and Kermit the Frog (hint, one way to be creative: avoid the god complex!).

You might have caught Sir Ken’s genius energy in his brilliant TED talk. Not only is he one of the world’s leading experts on creativity, he’s an all-around cool guy and... he’s a KNIGHT! How cool is that?! That’s pretty saucy I say. :)

Sir Ken is the one and only guest on this week's show, a show where one of us nearly dies, and there's a good deal of thought given to ways that Tom Cruise could die, depending on what happens with the next Mission Impossible movie. As ever, it makes sense in context, promise.

A talk for the online lecture series TED in 2006 launched Sir Ken Robinson's ideas to a global audience. He spoke about creativity in schools for 20 minutes, and the video has been watched more than any other TED Talk, with 27 million views so far. In conversation with Sarah Montague, he argues that modern teaching is a product of industrialisation, putting children through a factory model that prepares them for working life. But if we truly value innovation and creativity, why isn't it taught? For the programme, Sir Ken returns to the former Margaret Beavan Special School in Liverpool, where he spent his primary school years in the 1950s, after contracting polio at four years old. He's since advised governments and businesses around the world on how to harness creativity, and believes if schools were radically different, giving creative subjects equal status, children would find their true talents.

Sir Ken Robinson is one of the foremost critical thinkers in the world today in the fields of creativity, ingenuity, and education. He is to those fields what Stephen Hawking is to physics. We learn Sir Ken’s views on the best direction for education to change, including No Child Left Behind, Inclusion, ADHD, education and the arts, education for the workplace and equality in schools.Sir Ken has sampled first hand different types of educational methods. He was born into a modest income family in Liverpool, the fifth of seven children. He contracted Polio when he was four and was sent to a school for disabled children. Later, he was included in a regular school, went on to university, and then on to an outstanding career in education. We learn how his background shaped his ideas and provided the foundation for his insightful understanding of education and creativity today.

She had a different developmental clock than the other girls her age, which exposed her to taunting. As an adult Marcella teaches middle school and sees how much has changed and how much has remained the same. She views daily how preteens relate to each other. Marcella wrote a hard hitting, truthful gritty novel about her experiences called “Freak” to help young girls and parents understand this difficult growth stage. We talk with her about the book, how she writes and the effect writing the book had on her. She also shares her hopes about the effect of the book will have on parents and young people.Stan tells of the slinky tale

We learn how his background shaped his ideas and provided the foundation for his insightful understanding of education and creativity today.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the man who's designed some of the most famous film sets ever made. Sir Ken Adam was the production designer on seven of the James Bond films - including Dr No, Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever. His bold designs skilfully created the lairs of a string of arch villans, perhaps best typified by the headquarters of Blofeld in You Only Live Twice - which was built inside an extinct volcano with an artificial lake placed on top.Sir Ken Adam began life as Klaus Adam, born into a middle class family in 1920s Berlin. As Hitler rose to power the Adam family were forced to flee to Britain. Klaus adopted the name Keith during the war when he became a fighter pilot and the only German to fight for the RAF. He became known as Heinie the Tank Buster in recognition of his daring raids across the continent. After the war he changed his name again to Ken and trained as an architect. This led to work in the film industry; first as a draughtsman, and then as an art director and eventually as a production designer. He won two Oscars: the first for Barry Lyndon, which he made with Stanley Kubrick in the 70s, and The Madness of King George.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Java Jive by Inkspots Book: Propylaen Kunstgeschichte - The History of Art Luxury: Sketchpad and felt pens to design

Unfortunately, our educational system often discourages and sometimes dishonors the imagination, disrupting our ability to shape the abundant circumstances and conditions we deserve. On today’s episode of The Quote of The Day Show, author and speaker Sir Ken Robinson discusses this topic and encourages us to recognize and develop our creative powers.
