Alison Grigg and Kerry Grigg, Managing Partners at Multiple Group, and Fiona Czerniawska, CEO of Source, caught up with Emma Carroll, Head of Content at Source, on the latest episode of our The Future of the Firm podcast.   Alison, Kerry, and Fiona shared their insights on the following matters and more:    The dangers of social washing and how demographic change is driving increased accountability, as the younger generations expect businesses to deliver on the ESG promises they're making.  The mistakes firms could be making, such as assuming that good leadership happens overnight and not doing enough work to embed social value throughout all areas of the business.  The importance of assessing learning agility during recruitment and in performance reviews, to both foster an adaptable workplace and to give your employees the tools to carry them through life.  The four generational “tribes” and how they approach the workplace, and every facet of their lives, differently.  Practical takeaways for firms to implement, such as focusing on communication and getting to know your team.  The extent to which consulting firms should consider and be held accountable for the intended and unintended human consequences of the changes they implement in a business.   The importance of bringing not just a financial and business impact lens to big decisions, for instance headcount reductions, but also considering the intended and unintended social impact risks that might occur as a consequence.     If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In a recent episode, we talked to Sam Samaratunga, Global Head of Risk Services at PwC, about the future of the risk services market.     

In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast, we're tackling an often uncomfortable but incredibly important topic: sexual curiosity in our autistic children. As our kids grow, they naturally become curious about their bodies and the bodies of others. But for children on the spectrum, understanding boundaries and social norms around these behaviors can be especially challenging. Today, we're discussing how to handle situations where “show me and I'll show you” games might come into play, and why it's critical to address these moments early on. I'll share practical strategies for having open, positive conversations about sexuality, teaching boundaries, and ensuring our kids understand the difference between what's appropriate in private versus public spaces. Plus, we'll talk about when it might be time to seek professional help for more complex situations. This is not an easy subject, but it's one we need to be prepared for. Join me as we navigate this together, giving our children the knowledge and guidance they need to explore safely and confidently. Tune in for encouragement, insights, and actionable advice to help you keep going, stay strong, and never give up. You've got this!

This is not compulsory listening, but then again, it kind of is. We're back to have another imperfect conversation about men, violence and consent, because we're still imperfect and we believe reflecting on behaviour is key to changing it.  We don't have all the answers, but in collaboration with Teach Us Consent and future OAM Chanel Contos, we've come up with some new Vulnerabilitea House questions to help anyone get vulnerable and think deeply about these issues.  In all honesty, we're pretty nervous about answering them, but reflecting and getting vulnerable with ourselves and others is how we do better and become the people we want to be. You can find the questions on our instagram: https://bit.ly/4dnfjvO Vulnerability is the willingness to be seen as our authentic selves, even when we don't know how others will respond. To be vulnerable is to take an emotional risk and while it does promote connection, it can also cause distress and should never be forced. So take care of yourself and others while answering these questions. Always vulnerable responsibly.  To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link - https://bit.ly/4fx8lWP 

In this Best Of Summer Series episode, we tackle the complex topic of societal expectations and social norms, particularly how they affect families raising children on the autism spectrum. Our society often values conformity and can overlook individual differences, which can be challenging for our kids. Social norms are the unwritten rules that dictate appropriate behavior in interactions. Neurotypical children usually pick up these norms naturally through observation, but for children on the spectrum, these social cues can be confusing and overwhelming. Understanding personal space, appropriate touch, and suitable conversation topics can be particularly difficult, leading to misunderstandings and sometimes negative perceptions from others. These societal expectations can take a toll on families like ours, causing emotional, mental, and even physical strain. Striving to meet these norms can leave parents feeling anxious, isolated, and worried that their child may be judged or excluded. But there's hope. By shifting our perspective and advocating for awareness, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and understanding world. Challenging societal expectations and promoting acceptance is crucial. As parents, we have the power to shape the lives of our children and unlock their fullest potential with unwavering belief in their abilities.

It delves into the impact of autonomy, rebellion, and social acceptance on nature connection, as well as the need for outdoor spaces for teenagers to congregate without judgment. The discussion also highlights the importance of intrinsic motivation and play in fostering nature connection in adolescents. The conversation explores the impact of social expectations and judgment on teenagers' nature connection, the role of technology in forging new connections with nature, and the changing definition of nature connection as individuals transition from childhood to adolescence. It also delves into the need to remove moral judgments from assessing nature connection and the importance of research in understanding and providing opportunities for nature connection. Takeaways Teenagers experience a decline in nature connection, with a significant dip between the ages of 13 and 18, followed by a gradual climb back up to early childhood levels by the age of 30. The need for autonomy, rebellion, and social acceptance influences teenagers' engagement with nature, and providing outdoor spaces for teenagers to congregate without judgment is crucial for fostering nature connection. Intrinsic motivation and play play a significant role in nurturing nature connection in adolescents, and the focus should be on facilitating spaces for teenagers to engage with nature on their own terms. Social expectations and judgment can impact teenagers' nature connection, leading to a shift in the definition and experience of nature connection during adolescence. Technology can be used to forge new connections with nature, and its role in facilitating global nature connection should be recognized and studied. Removing moral judgments from the assessment of nature connection is essential, and research is needed to understand and provide opportunities for nature connection, especially for teenagers. The changing definition of nature connection as individuals transition from childhood to adolescence highlights the need for a broader understanding and approach to nature connection at different life stages.

We talked about the leap from a 9 to 5 to full-time entrepreneurship, the societal pressures we face, especially as we hit our 30s, and the quest for work-life balance.

Society has certain expectations regarding social norms, which can be challenging for families like ours raising children on the spectrum. We live in a world that values conformity and often overlooks individual differences. Certain unwritten rules govern how we interact, communicate, and behave in society. For neurotypical children, these norms are often picked up naturally through observation and imitation. However, for children on the autism spectrum, the social world can be puzzling and overwhelming. Boundaries, as they relate to social norms, refer to the unspoken rules that dictate appropriate behavior in social interactions. In society, there are generally accepted norms for personal space, physical touch, sharing, and conversational topics, among other things. You don't stand too close, you don't pull a chin hair off a woman behind you in line, and you don't touch people.  There are specific topics you know when and where to and not to talk about.  Our children on the autism spectrum usually have difficulties understanding and following these boundaries, which you guessed it, can lead to misunderstandings and sometimes negative perceptions from other people. Societal expectations for social norms can take a toll on families like ours, affecting us emotionally, mentally, and even physically. If you find yourself constantly striving to meet societal norms it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and anxious, worried that your child may be excluded or judged for their differences. You might feel isolated, both from mainstream social circles and even within the autism community, if your child's challenges are different than others. So while the negative impacts of social expectations can be significant, you can shift your perspective, advocate for awareness and pave the way for a more inclusive and understanding world. It's essential for us to challenge these societal expectations and advocate for understanding and acceptance. I believe that together, we can build a more compassionate and inclusive society. As parents, we have the privilege and responsibility to shape the lives of our children.  When you have an unwavering belief in their abilities, it can be a transformative force that opens doors, breaks barriers, and unlocks their fullest potential.  If you want to learn strategies and tools that you can use to improve your life along this autism parenting journey, becoming Not Your Average Autism Mom is your answer.  We are the single best online resource for moms raising autistic children.   Is the educational journey overwhelming and confusing for you?  Our member portal has an array of training and resources with everything you need to know about Special Education and you can join LIVE ZOOM calls with an Advocate to get any of your specific questions answered.   Maybe you are feeling alone on your journey or maybe you are looking for other moms to connect with in a PRIVATE community who understand your day-to-day challenges, be sure that you check out ALL THE BENEFITS available for you when you BECOME Not Your Average Autism Mom. www.notyouraverageautismmom.com  Additional Resources: Episode 96.

Many of us feel a profound lack of freedom in our lives. This can be especially true for young people, who often feel forced to choose paths that are defined by outside forces and societal expectations. On this episode, Miami University associate professor of Kinesiology  Jay Kimiecik is back, along with college student and Miami senior Alexandra Leurck ‘23, to share some personal stories and experiences about how finding our “feel” can lead to more freedom and fulfillment. To hear more about finding your feel, listen to part one of this series. Or check out the new book, Exploring the Concept of Feel for Wellbeing and Performance.

We bring you a conversation amongst men about the expectations they face in their lives. In this episode, we dive deep into the societal, parental, and personal expectations placed on men, and the impact they have on our lives. We share our personal experiences and discuss the expectations that were planted in us from childhood, the expectations that society places on us, and the expectations we place on ourselves that can be damaging. We also explore the impact of these expectations on our relationships and personal growth. Join us as we discuss the challenges of breaking free from the expectations that hold us back and living life on our own terms. Our goal is to create a space for men to share their stories, learn from one another, and find support as we navigate the complexities of modern masculinity. So sit back, relax, and join us as we break the mold and share our perspectives on expectations, authenticity, and living life on our own terms.

Cities lost population in 2021, leading to the slowest year in growth in U.S. history. We've all had the experience of living in and subsequently leaving a major city. What were our motivations for doing so? Conversely, what are the reasons we chose to move to New York and L.A. in the first place? On a related note, the U.S. is also experiencing doctor shortages. The recently canceled 'The Baby-Sitters Club' Netflix show runner gave a very candid interview about the metrics Netflix uses to decide whether or not a show will be canceled. Why isn't Netflix evolving with the times? People are clearly enjoying weekly episode drops - are the days of binging over? In an about-face, Netflix is testing cracking down on password sharing in a few markets. If the test is deemed a success, we could be paying an extra $2.99 per month for every person we share our credentials with. Jeff Foxworthy had an 'ok boomer' moment in his latest stand-up special in which he poked fun at participation trophies. How is comedy living up to current social expectations? What do we as millennials look for in stand-up routines? We can't talk comedy without speaking about the slap heard 'round Hollywood at this year's Academy Awards: was Chris Rock out of line with his joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith? Was WIll Smith's reaction at all justified?

The person who can hurt us the most is ourselves.We spend most of our lives judging what we say, do or think, constantly evaluating ourselves and others instead of observing.We are the ones who can hurt ourselves the most.We spend most of our lives judging what we say, do, and think, constantly evaluating ourselves and others instead of observing.How do you tell the difference between observation and evaluation? 'Evaluation' is the act of judging the worth of something or someone, as opposed to observation, which closely monitors something or someone. Easy, while one makes a judgment, the other observes.This kind of self-evaluation is destructive and keeps you stuck; it leaves indelible marks on your mind that cause sadness, irritability, frustration, and burnout. Observation, on the other hand, allows you to have a broad perspective of what is happening in your life and how you ought to address it. Take this example: a client didn't pay you, so you can decide whether to observe or evaluate. The result of our evaluation is, "that client is so irresponsible and inconsiderate" Meanwhile, the observation tells you, "this client hasn't paid me," triggering the question, "How do I get them to pay me?"In this episode, I talk about the difference between observation and evaluation and how it affects our lives.You can either observe curiosity or evaluate judgment. Which one will you choose?RESOURCESEp. 109. It's okay to feel all of the feelings.

Oftentimes in life, we place ourselves in the center as the starring role and orbit others around us as supporting characters. We may assign people to identities and roles without their consent, expecting them to fulfill our core needs. By openly communicating our hopes, desires, and expectations within relationships and agreeing on a basis or foundation, we save room for grace and Divinity to enter the center and illuminate our lives.

What do they say?  Never talk politics, money, and religion?  We never like to follow the rules anyway. This week we talk about religion and faith.  While many people equate religion and faith we know that they are not the same.  Some people look to religion for community or cultural significance.  Some people look to the woods for their faith. As we embark on this season and explore faith journeys we want to make sure we all know that there is no judgment where we find our faith.  We want to inspire you to listen to your inner voice and trust your heart.  Find your faith where you can.  Set your boundaries as you need to.  Leave society's expectations at the door.   Where do you derive your faith from? How has religion impacted your life? GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK Journal time!  Reflect on how religion was part of your growing community and home growing up? In what ways have the expectations of your past experiences with religion affected your current faith journey? Share your experiences with your accountability partner or with us.  You know where to find us! RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Did you enjoy this episode? We would love to hear your thoughts.
