Podcast appearances and mentions of tash willcocks

I try to avoid conflict... most of the time.It creates tension that I usually find counter-productive.But what if this tension is actually the catalyst for growth?Have I been missing out?Our guest Tash Willcocks thinks so.She's a self-proclaimed former conflict avoider who now champions the idea of "running towards the conflict" to unlock its potential for positive change.Yes, conflict creates a tension that most of us instinctively shy away from.But according to Tash, this tension can foster collaboration and drive personal growth when channeled in the right ways.There's just one small problem.Conflict in the workplace often occurs when people give (or receive) feedback. But most of us aren't really great at this.So, instead of using feedback as a constructive opportunity, things either spiral out of control, or people conceal the key message out of politeness.In both cases, it's a missed opportunity.The art is to find that sweet spot between kindness and clarity, where we can give and receive feedback in a way that feels supportive and helps us grow.I have to say, Tash's journey from conflict avoidance to embracing tension is quite inspiring.So, if you want to turn those tough conversations into moments where you learn and grow the most, this episode has you covered.Tash made me think: What is the best feedback I've received, from whom, and what made it so powerful? What would be your answer...Enjoy the episode, and keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

Welcome to another rousing episode of Making Friends with… This time, host Jonny Rae-Evans is joined by Mills Vardheim of the Tech for Good Live team. So what is this. Basically - we have no friends. We’re broken, lonely people - just stumbling around in the dark. So why not shamefully use our platform to make some new friends. Best friends. Amiright? In this Making Friends with... episode we have none other than the amazing Tash Willcocks. Tash has over 20 years of experience shaping future changemakers in the creative industry. She was previously programme leader of the BA and MA Graphic Design course at Salford University, and now facilitates the learning of worldwide postgraduate students that join the MA Digital Management and MA Digital Experience Design programmes at Hyper Island as Head of Masters in Europe. We talk about how she got into the industry, her role in educating the next generation, the role of ethics in education and the famous designer ego. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Tash Willcocks is many things. Illustrator, Hyper Island creative business school programme leader, thinker, do-er, but most importantly, she's an energetic, highly-creative human. We discuss a range of topics including optimal anxiety - the 'just outside the comfort zone' space when we are at our best, doom loops, delight loops and turtles on broomsticks. It's an inspiring chat not to be missed and I want your feedback @arrestallmimics on social. https://www.instagram.com/tashwillcocks/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/hyperislanduk/?hl=en http://illustrationweb.com http://heartinternet.co.uk http://theaoi.com https://www.instagram.com/tashwillcocks/?hl=en
