Welcome back to Blended! It's episode 31, I'm joined by a brand new panel of inspirational professionals and, today, we're talking about education and bias. It's a topic that's close to my heart, with my own educational and career journey. And, it's a topic that has increasingly come under the spotlight recently in light of the labor shortages and trending workplace changes we've seen industry-wide. So now is the perfect time to really explore what's going wrong, or right, with the way we think about education in the workplace. Today, our guests will be diving into education and sharing their own experiences; exploring the hiring practices that often continue to support bias; reflecting on what the next generation are doing and thinking about when it comes to education and their careers; and sharing their words of advice for how organizations can tackle education bias and create more diverse workplaces. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [00.44] Introductions to our Blended panellists. Rose – CEO and Principal Consultant at The Opening Door Jennifer – Executive Director at TMSA (Transportation Marketing and Sales Association) Stella – Professor at Towson University “Education bias is somebody being treated differently, or unfavorably, based on their educational background, where they went to school and what level of education they have.” Rose [02.32] The group give an overview of education bias, and what it means to them. “It was instilled in me from the second I was born: education, education, education… When I finished my degree, I felt that if I wanted to make more money, if I wanted to really excel in the corporate world, I had to have an MBA. And it took me a long time to think deeper about why I felt that way, and if I really needed it to be successful. ” Rose [05.09] The panel share their personal experiences, their level of education and how important it has been to their professional career. Sarah's experience of ‘only' gaining a high school diploma; then studying at night school, trying different things, and gaining certifications whilst working, in order to boost her professional career Different types of education, eg. degree vs industry certifications, high school vs. higher education Stella's experience of switching fields from her degree to her master's; how a previous employer allowed her flexibility to pursue a PhD; and why she ultimately changed career, from the pharmaceutical industry to academia Stella's experience of opportunity in America versus in India, and her parents encouragement of higher education Rose's experience of being raised with the importance of education, and finally coming to terms with the fact that it might not be as important as she was raised to believe The assumption that additional education equals money and success The cost of education Jennifer's experience of teaching at a community college, and as a parent of a child with ADHD Continued education in the workplace Responsibility “Companies say ‘we want to retain more employees, what can we do?' Well, help develop them! Develop them, make them want to stay with you. Sometimes simple questions have simple answers, we just have to take the time.” Jennifer [23.14] The group discuss education bias within industry, and the age-old debate of experience vs education. “To be on a tenure track, you typically have to have a PhD. And then once you get into your field, then it becomes rank – are you an assistant professor, associate professor or professor – so you still have a PhD, but rank becomes an issue.” Stella Stella's experience working in academia Differing ranks and salaries within the workplace, even with the same level of education Stereotypes and judgements about different types of PhD, eg ‘they're just liberal arts' Elitism Ego Affinity bias Importance of diversity “It's hard to acknowledge and recognize your ego… but if we build more self-awareness, we can start to realise when our ego is leading things in the wrong direction, and the more we address that, we would see less bias.” Rose [38.57] The panel reflect on what they're seeing in the market around education bias and hiring practices. Job descriptions Expectations The importance of not dismissing people if they don't have the ‘perfect' educational background Using technology to pre-filter applications Asking the right questions Role of HR – who is hiring/writing job descriptions? Input from the team who will work with new hires The pace of evolving technology – education getting out of date The structure of a resume How many years' experience equals a degree? What do you actually want out of your career? Self-taught knowledge Power of self-belief “I think we put too much emphasis on education and not experience, but there is a catch 22. Because the requirement for an entry level job is 5 years – that doesn't make sense!” Jennifer [54.13] The group put the spotlight on the next generation, and what they're thinking about when it comes to education and ongoing learning. Need for more authenticity in the workplace Young people building personal brands Exploration of self-employment and entrepreneurship Greater understanding of new technologies Giving people a chance Parents, educational institutions and communities working together [1.04.57] The panel sums up their thoughts from today's discussion.

The three of us sit down together to share more stories from our aged guest.We discuss the nature of Mr Lau’s self-created space in the forest. I personally was curious and wanted to discuss further about the tree house Mr Lau and the abandoned toilet/rest room where Stella and myself first met him.My original plan was to speak on a range of historical topics pertaining to Hong Kong. Those other questions will be asked in part 3. Mr Lau had a lot of say about the history pertaining to the borrowed spaces of his and then he shifts the conversation to his personal coin collection and shares his philosophy behind them.Please check the episode listings for part 1 where we are introduced to Mr Lau.今集我和Stella再次來到劉伯的小天地分享他的人生故事和經歷,並感謝Stella幫忙翻譯。自從有一次我和Stella 行山時在一個荒廢的廁所/休憩室遇到劉伯後, 我的好奇心已經驅使我想進一步了解劉伯如何建造自己的樹屋和小天地。起初我想跟劉伯談談有關他對某些香港歷史的看法, 但這些話題會留待下一次再跟劉伯詳談。因為劉伯當天很雀躍地先跟我們分享關於他和“借回來”的小天地的關係和歷史。 之後還展示了一些他所收藏的硬幣和分享其背後意義。如果大家有興趣知道有關劉伯的背景和經歷可以重溫第一回的訪問。Show LinksPart 1 with Mr Lauwww.jonathanjk.comhttps://twitter.com/HelloFromHK

This is the full version where we share portions of Mr Lau’s life story. I’m happy Mr Lau could share his time with us.Some background, Mr Lau came from China to Hong Kong in the 1950s where he started to aspire to work his way through various jobs and achieve his life goals. We talk about what life was like in Hong Kong and along the border, the jobs he held and how he lived before retiring from his last job in the late 1980s.This is part 1 and hopefully we can speak to Mr Lau again soon.今次除了我,還有Stella和劉伯跟我一同參與這次節目。這亦是我首個以廣東話及英語廣播的訪問,藉此要多謝Stella當日義務擔任我的翻譯員與劉伯細談他過去的心路歷程和點滴。我亦很感謝劉伯願意抽空跟我們分享他的故事,讓大家知道一些舊香港的事蹟。劉伯於50年代由中國來到香港。透過訪問可以知道劉伯過往在邊界以及來港後的生活。初到香港,他透過同鄉介紹於現時仍屹立於油麻地的美都餐廳當過清潔及外賣。再輾轉經介紹做過其他工作。最後他在油麻地渡輪公司工作了30多年,直到94年退休享受自由自在的生活。從訪問中,可得知劉伯對工作的熱情和他對人生及生活所追求的目標。希望大家喜歡劉伯的故事,我們期待劉伯很快跟我們再分享更加多的故事。Show Linkswww.jonathanjk.comhttps://twitter.com/HelloFromHK

Raw Milk - The Creative Business Podcast about social media, marketing, branding, blogging
The life of an artist is one of uncertainty. You simply can’t predict how long it may take to turn your art into a job or how many paintings you will sell in a given month. So, how do you navigate that uncertainty? How do you make a living without feeling like you’re selling out? Stella Maria Baer is a painter and photographer whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Scientific American, and Time Magazine, among many others. In her work, Stella explores the mythology of the desert, the cosmology of space, and the topography of the human body. Her pieces can be found in public and private collections all over the world. Today, Stella joins me to explain how she started painting in her mid-20’s as a form of meditation. She describes how working as a research assistant for Titus Kaphar showed her the potential of art as a career and taught her about the business side of being a creative. Stella speaks to the evolution of her work, the tension between making a living and selling out, and the value of cultivating a supportive community. I ask Stella about her approach to Instagram as a type of collage and how she uses the platform as a marketing tool. Listen in for Stella’s insight on navigating motherhood as a working artist and processing the financial uncertainty of life as an artist! What You’ll Learn How Stella started painting as a form of meditation that became her career How Stella learned the business side of fine art Stella’s take on the tension between making a living and selling out How Stella sees Instagram as one of many marketing tools How Stella navigates motherhood as a working artist Connect with Stella Stella’s Website Stella on Instagram Connect with Beth Beth’s Website Beth on Instagram Beth on Pinterest Beth on Twitter Local Milk Blog Local Milk on Facebook Email hello@localmilkblog.com Resources Mentioned Titus Kaphar The Ultimate Instagram Organic Growth Guide Beth’s Instagram Hashtag Quiz Review Raw Milk on iTunes
