Peter Shankman [00:00:04]: Hey, everyone. I want to give a shout out this week to Skylight Frame. You can check them out@skylightframe.com.

Welcome to another episode of Fast Than Normal. Do you know what I found out? I found out last week in pure, typical ADHD fashion. Apparently we've come across 300 episodes. Apparently last week's episode or a couple of weeks ago was our 300th. And I had no idea. I wanted to get a cake and eat the cake during a podcast. And someone sent me an email, hey, congratulations on hitting 300 episodes. And I went, oh, yeah. Okay, cool. Thanks. So that's the beauty. One of the beauties of ADHD. Totally blew that one. But hey, we made it through 300 episodes, which is pretty cool. I think less than one parent of all podcasts ever make it to 300 episodes, so feeling pretty good about that. Anyway, I want to talk today to a woman named Sophie Thomas. Sophie Thomas is a neurodivergent mother of three. She's late diagnosed with autism, ADHD dyspraxia. So apparently she did nothing for the first, like, X number of years of her life and than when her nine year old son got diagnosed. She's like, oh, look at all these things I have. She lives in dubai, which is pretty cool because you know me and how much I love Dubai and until 18 months ago had spent 20 years in the corporate world of strategy consulting and professional services. She recently moved from client facing strategy work to set up her firm's Strategy and Project Team before being asked to step in as technology leader and then do a human resource role. Realizing that she loved human resources, she set up her own company called The Growth Pod, and that helps passion and purpose led entrepreneurs harness their creativity and their uniqueness to create successful growth strategies for their businesses. Many of her clients are also neurodiverse and part of her new mission in life is to advocate for neurodiversity in the corporate world. Welcome, Sophie. Sophie  [00:03:25]: Thank you. And congratulations on 300 episodes as a nascent podcaster. I know that's a massive feat. Peter Shankman [00:03:33]: I was kind of shocked by it and like I said, didn't even realize it, which is so typical. When The Boy with the Faster Brain came out a month and a half ago, I didn't realize the launch date and I started getting all these emails saying, hey, congratulations on your new book. I'm like, I didn't know it was out yet, but cool. Thanks. Yeah, that's just so typical. So you got diagnosed with autism, ADHD and dyspraxia. So tell us what Than was like. Was that a whole life changer for you? Sophie  [00:03:58]: Absolutely. I've always known I was different and having the diagnosis just completely changed my narrative and it changed our family as well because we were going through the process. For my son, I read a book on Asperger's, though I know we're not meant to use the term and identified him in that book. And sort of going through that book, I also identified myself. And my husband is super supportive of us, but he wasn't quite sure what we would do with an autism diagnosis for my son or a neurodivergent diagnosis. And seeing an understanding that I was neurodivergent just made it so much easier for all of us to accept his diagnosis and celebrate it. Because if you look at my professional success, it hasn't been a hindrance to me. In fact, when I reflect on it and since leaving the corporate world, when I look back at my experiences and I've changed the narrative, I don't now put of myself as a survivor and have done well despite my neurons divergence. I did well because of it. Sophie  [00:05:06]: It's because of loads of the traits that I have that I've been able to be the success that I was. And I'm really excited now that we can have that conversation with my son at a very young age, celebrate his neurodiversity and talk about his superpowers and his strengths and how he can take those into what I know will be a very different world in sort of 1520 years time when he's in looking for jobs and creating careers. But I think it's going to be really empowering for him to have had somebody close to him as a role model and a family that champions and supports him. Peter Shankman [00:05:44]: Tell me about so one of the things that I talk a lot to companies about this, and I explained that my ADHD is definitely my success is because of not in spite of my ADHD, but one of the things we don't talk a lot about is what it was like growing up. So ADHD doesn't just happen the second you get diagnosed. You get diagnosed because you know something's different. So when you were growing up, I'm assuming I don't know where you grew up, but assuming where you grew up, it couldn't have been as easy because you weren't allowed to be as different as you are allowed to be today. Sophie  [00:06:17]: No, there was a huge amount of grief, I think that came with my diagnosis. As part of that diagnosis, I had to go through all of my old school reports which my parents had lovingly kept for me. And it's amazing when you read all of those back to back in about 6 hours, as I did Hyper Focus and looking at the narrative of that kid. I just felt so sad for her that nobody sat there. And put together the picture of somebody than I always thought I was stupid or not very intelligent. But I was okay because I could work really hard. And I see in those reports the pockets of we think Sophie is a bright child, but she's lazy and she's too introverted. We just don't seem to be able to get through to her. And everything I read into that now is we don't have the time or we don't have the skills. We don't have the understanding of how to teach her differently or how to teach her in a way where she can excel. I had to sit down at every major point of examinations and in the UK we have two or three big sets of them in our life. And I had to reteach myself every curriculum in three months before my exams just to get through. I was predicted to fail. I was told I wasn't going to go to a decent university. And against all of the odds, I sat down, I knuckled down and I came out with a's across the board. And now I have a different narrative, which is that I am really bright, my neurodiversity, I'm twice exceptional. I can say from a position of fact that my intelligence is higher than 98 percentile of the population. That in itself has changed me completely. And I try not to think about actually what would have been different if somebody had supported me. Because I find that not necessarily it can be a spiral and a rabbit hole to go through, no question. What I think not is about, okay, how can I take that and how can I help my son? How can I advocate for my son? How can I make it different from him? How can I help him to recognize and own his intelligence, to harness that power, to find ways that he can learn and get the accommodations he needs in school and then think about how he's best going to use those powers in a career that's going to be meaningful to him? Peter Shankman [00:08:38]: And your son is with you in it like, what's it like in the Dubai school system in America? It's just sort of coming up and we're starting to make good strides, but it's taken forever in a day. Sophie  [00:08:53]: It's nascent here. I mean, it's a very different society. It's very multicultural. So a lot of the things that I would have imagined we would struggle with in terms of inclusion in Europe or the US. We don't have here because it is so diverse. You have everybody from every nationality, different languages, everybody is in different places. So schools seem to be more naturally inclusive, but they're private education. They want to maximize revenue. So it is harder for kids that have additional needs to get into the good schools. It's expensive for parents to support them if they do have additional needs and need learning support, assistance. And we're really lucky that our son thrives in school. And his school is probably one of the most inclusive. The small accommodations they put into the classroom for him, they've been putting in there for all kids because they recognize that all kids move to a different beat of their own drum. I'm nervous about secondary because the education sector is developing so rapidly. The primary is more developed. It's come on along in the last six, seven years since we started sending him to school. Secondary is catching up. Bu I'm nervous about that because I think at that point you're a bit like a shark in infested waters. And the inclusivity that we found in the early years, I'm not sure we're going to find it in secondary. Peter Shankman [00:10:11]: Interesting. Okay, so what are you preparing to do? How are you getting ready for that? Sophie  [00:10:17]: Well, we're having conversations with him about he's got to own his decision of which school. It would be very easy for us as parents to go on the traditional measures of a good school. We could look at grades, we could look at the number of university students. But at the end of the day, he's got to find somewhere where he feels like his rhythm is going to be recognized and supported. So we're going to try and go around a load of schools. I'm part of the local communities around Neurodiversity, so I listen to which of most inclusive things. But one thing I'm seeing a trend of in Dubai is schools that are coming up than are way more creative and innovative and nontraditional. And I feel like one of those schools where it is much more focus on digitization tech that that will be a better environment for him, rather than something that looks more like a traditional education system that I might recognize and sort of stereotypical me. Would Cold feel like that was a good school for him? Peter Shankman [00:11:17]: Makes sense. Tell me about what it's like there in the workplace, having been out there for years, having now understanding your neurodiversity, what is the conversation like when you would talk to, say, when you were still at your old position? Would you tell people about it? Would you talk to it? How did they react to. Sophie  [00:11:40]: Think, you know, I've been in the Middle East for 14 years, and, you know, I would have said my primary difference for the majority of that was that I was female. Secondly, that I was English Add. There aren't many senior English female women in the workplace. And in my later role in HR, I was involved in diversity inclusion. And when I look at the conversations you have around ind here compared to those you have in Europe or the US. It's much, much narrower. So the focus is on gender still, which is a conversation that we still have elsewhere, but less so it's on nationality. So it is a much more inclusion of the national workforce here and bringing in the Emirates, the Saudis, the Qataris into Middle Eastern firms. There really isn't a conversation about hidden disabilities, about neurodiversity, and there's absolutely zero conversation around sexuality and the LGBTQI because of the context here in illegality, which is really challenging. So it's a much, much narrower conversation. When I was in my role, we were coming out of COVID and huge concerns around mental health and support for individuals. And I found, without knowing about my neurodiversity, that the individuals who were struggling the most with inclusion were individuals on the neurodiverse spectrum. And we had so many challenges with people with mental health awareness, with breakdowns, burnouts, suicidality, and we were not where we needed to be in the region in terms of inclusiveness around conversations around mental health and support that we could put in there. And so even on, like, when it's really obvious, when people are really struggling, we're not great. And when we're talking about proactive measures of inclusivity in the workplace and celebrating neurodiversity traits and thinking about how we incorporate those, embrace them, and actively seek them out in the future, we're just miles away. And what I loved when I met you in Dubai was you had just finished off your step conference speech around customer experience, which I loved. But it was your shout out about the future of work and actively seeking. Out neurodivergent skill sets to be part of the environment and the corporate add entrepreneurial environment. That really resonated with me because we are so behind in this region in having those conversations or even recognizing that it's something to be celebrated. I told very few colleagues about my diagnosis. I left about six months after my diagnosis, not directly because of my diagnosis, but it was interlinked. But when I talked about my son's diagnosis, I had people commiserating with me and saying things, well, at least like, you've got two normal children. Yeah. Add oh, have you looked at his diet? And maybe just things that I would have expected in the UK 25 years ago. Peter Shankman [00:14:54]: Right. Sophie  [00:14:54]: So there's a really in the general population, not a great understanding. I think there's still very much a kind of a Rain Man or bonkers children bouncing off the walls kind of impression of neurodiversity. And I still get friends coming up to me when I tell them, and I'm now very open about my diagnosis, and they're like, well, you don't seem very autistic or you don't seem very neurodiverse. And it blows my mind that we still have those entrenched views and see it as a much more disabling sort of set of characteristics or neurotype than it really is. Peter Shankman [00:15:37]: And again, I think that's something we'll definitely talk about offline, because, like I said, I was speaking one of the companies I was talking to last week. I was on satellite, and someone emailed me later from your region. And, you know, it's great to finally hear this and my company's taken seriously because no one here believes it. So I think we got a lot of work to do. That being said, Sophie Thomas, I'm so glad you joined us today. Thank you so much for taking the time. How can people find you so you.

Can understanding the principles and practices of psychology and philosophy create a powerful fusion to guide you towards the achievement of your wellbeing and fitness goals?   In this transformative episode we embark on a journey of self-discovery, drawing from the groundbreaking concepts of Sophie Thomas's book "Fitlosophy" and the wisdom of some of the greatest philosophical minds. With insights from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), we decode the complexities of what gets in the way of constructive action,  paving the way for a holistic approach to fitness success.  With empirical evidence serving as our guiding light, my brilliant guest Sophie Thomas and I attempt to unravel the mysteries of human behavior and illustrate how the marriage of psychology and philosophy can lead to sustainable fitness transformations.

Sophie Thomas teaches Japanese to people who speak French — but there’s nothing “standard” about her courses because Sophie has a distinct niche. There are hundreds of channels teaching English/Japanese, and fewer that teach French/Japanese. But, if you speak French and want to travel around Japan, then Sophie has the market cornered. Indeed, she’s possibly the only person currently teaching French speakers what they need to learn before going to Japan. What you’ll learn in this interview: - Sophie’s story - How to make big money with a small audience - Involve your audience in your course creation - Stand out with a point of difference - Market the result instead of the pathway - Hints for streaming on Twitch - Sophie’s tips for Langpreneurs For the full article go to: https://langpreneur.com/cours-de-japonais Sign up for the newsletter and join one of our future events: https://langpreneur.com/ Discover our coaching programmes: https://langpreneur.com/coaching Our course - Learn to build your own successful online language business: https://langpreneur.com/lbb - Do you have an online education business that’s making over 6- or 7-figures? - Want to know how we can help you scale?

Olivier Roland vous propose de découvrir dans ce podcast, l'histoire de Sophie Thomas (étudiante de Blogueur Pro), elle a fait 141 000 € en 10 mois en enseignant le japonais en ligne. Dans la 1ère vidéo de la masterclasse nous partons à la rencontre de 4 (+ 35) blogueurs dans des secteurs très différents (apprentissage du japonais, réalisation vidéo, huiles de bois écologiques, immobilier et 35 autres domaines) Tous ces entrepreneurs ont comme point commun : 1. D'avoir démarré leur blog à temps partiel, à coté d'une activité très prenante (job ou études, et parfois une vie de famille) 2. De n'avoir aucune expérience du blogging, voire même de l'entreprenariat pour trois d'entre eux, quand ils ont démarré 3. De n'avoir investi qu'une faible somme pour créer leur business 4. D'avoir vu leur business se développer énormément pendant la crise de 2020, grâce au fait qu'il est entièrement sur le web, et n'a donc pas besoin d'un emplacement physique 5. De pratiquer une de leurs passions tout en étant libre géographiquement et au niveau de leur emploi du temps... et en aidant des milliers de personnes dans leur domaine ! Vous allez donc découvrir à travers ces interviews des exemples concrets de personnes comme vous qui sont "entrepreneurs dans l'âme", qui ne peuvent plus se satisfaire du "métro boulot dodo" et qui agissent concrètement pour devenir libres et indépendants.

What is the most personal item you own - one you don’t want anyone else using? For Katy Brand it’s her toothbrush. So how did the toothbrush become one of life’s essentials? With the help of resident public historian of Horrible Histories fame, Greg Jenner, Katy goes back to ancient times, when the toothbrush was merely a stick. But the brush, as we know it, only came into being much later when a convict spied a broom in his cell and had a bright idea. But how has ingenuity and innovation shaped the toothbrush and ensured its place in our lives? And given most are plastic, how environmentally friendly is the toothbrush’s legacy? Featuring designer and toothbrush collector, Sophie Thomas, and advocate for clean teeth, Peter Dyer, Chair of Hospital Dentists at the British Dental Association.

Sophie is an established leader in communication and design, and in the investigation and promotion of circular economy design principles. She has been working in the fields of ethical design, behaviour change and material process through her design agency, Thomas.Matthews ltd, for nearly 20 years. We find out how Sophie uses her experience in sustainable and ethical design to help people understand more about the circular economy.

Sophie explains the importance of thinking about the system you are designing for, not just the object or product itself.

This week's guest is the gracious Costume & Set Designer, Sophie Thomas. Sophie shares, after careful consideration, choosing a creative path over following in her family's vocational footsteps and becoming a 4th generation Doctor Thomas. After completing an art foundation Sophie chose the costume and set design course at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, realising it would give her more practical creative skills than an art degree. She discusses her love of collaboration within set & costume design and stresses the importance of the script to unlocking the creative imagination needed to take audiences on a journey within the theatre. With set & costume design roles mostly being freelance, Sophie shares her experience and some of the challenges she has faced as a result. Juggling jobs, late payments and trying to pay the rent meant that she had to reassess how she viewed both her role and her values. She discusses that putting in place some boundaries ensures she is able to keep being creative, healthy and happy. Sophie is articulate, thoughtful and wildly talented - a gem!

Sophie is an unusual mix of campaigner, practising designer and Chartered Waste Manager. She’s been working in the fields of sustainable design, behaviour change and material process for nearly 20 years. I invited Sophie on to the show to talk about waste and circular design. In our conversation we get into: The engineering of linear and circular products, material selection, recycling houses and oil rigs. The creative strategies for circular designers, and in particular the idea that waste is a design flaw. And the practical philosophy of someone who has spent so long think about waste.

Sophie Thomas is a designer with a business brain or a business person with a designer's brain - i'm not sure which but it really doesn't matter. She pioneered thinking on circular economy and how designers are the solution to so many things. We also talked about what defines us, how school can lift us or bury us, and how good will always float to the top.

On this week’s podcast, host James Dickson is joined by Peter Eyre and Sophie Thomas from Meetoo.  Platforms such as Spotify, Vine, YouTube and Facebook offer people unprecedented opportunities to interact with the content that they are tuning into. This instant ability to post a comment, opinion or question has prompted event tech platforms to follow suit. During the episode, Peter and Sophie look at the way audience interaction at events has changed, and how platforms such as Meetoo are tapping into the concept of instant access.
