Growing from Stillbirth

4/15/2019

 
Jodie Matthews is an author, a blogger and now a parent, here Jodie shares with us her intimate experience with the birth of her son Hamish Joseph Matthews who was stillborn on the 10th September 2017.

This is a tender interview that offers us an opportunity to understand what a mother and father might go through and perhaps ease the awkwardness that we bring to them when we feel so inadequately prepared to ask them how they are.

All links for Jodie and her work can be found below.

The Honest Truth

12/2/2018

 
Picture
Truth and honesty are foundational tenets of most school and workplace mission statements, but I would ask, how can we consider what the truth is if we don't first know how to be honest with ourselves or others? Gabrielle Caplice, Annette Baker and Lucy Dahill unravel why we may not want to be honest but why it is a matter of future health and wellbeing.
This is the last post for the year - see you in 2019 - don't forget to listen back to some of the other 2018 shows and share away!
A lie gets halfway around the world
before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Business beyond profit - Humanitix

11/11/2018

 
Picture

Imagine a charity that has built an online ticketing platform and that gives their fees to other charities and you have met the founders of the startup Humanitix.
Started by two bold socially conscious men who did not subscribe to the usual model of believing that you have to stay doing something you don't enjoy in order to pay the bills they went about building the company in a very practical way and had a solid strategic plan that has seen them win a major investment from Google who have just made them one of the 4 organisations to receive $1 million towards their project through their Global Impact Challenge! That is one solid stamp of confidence for Humanitix, their board and the team of investors who have supported them to date. Join me as I learn how Joshua Ross, Adam McCurdie and James Humpherson brought it all together. 

Are We Underestimating The Heart?

10/28/2018

 
How much do we underestimate the heart? Is it just part of our function or can it and does it offer so much more that can support us as we live our lives? Phil Shirvington has worked with a dynamic group of teachers to bring the heart, stillness and questioning into practice through Wisdom, Life Faith Studies and shares some foundational understanding as well as top tips for practice.

The Scourge of Shame

10/14/2018

 
How much does shame influence the decisions we make and the behaviours we have taken as our normal? Jean Gamble talks us through shame and regret and teases out the different types of shame - toxic, functional and vicarious shame. What if there is a way to re-frame our thinking? Get snug as a bug in a rug and perhaps a pen and paper - you may want to take notes!

The Juggle of Study and Life

10/7/2018

 
The show today is an up close and personal with study – the stress, the anxiety, the need – and perhaps most importantly, the why. A fundamental question has to be why are we studying and who are we studying for? If we have a family or are studying and working full or part time there are challenges inherent in juggling those commitments and responsibilities. There is a level of support we need to bring to ourselves in order to offer the space and perspective to work effectively without overriding the communication from our bodies and making ourselves sick. There is nothing intelligent about choosing dysfunctional behaviours! Join Lucy as she shares some of the things she learnt the hard way!

The ABC of Boards

Teresa Dyson stands on a diverse mix of boards and shares with us the skills honed from school that have stood her in good stead throughout her working life. What is it like being a Board Member in diverse industries? Is there a challenge with gender diversity and is there a big difference between for profit and not-for-profit boards? These are just a few of the questions covered in this interview, as Teresa walks us through her life and decision making process inspiring others to hone the personal and professional skills to contribute in life. Her top tips:

  • Be prepared
  • Don't a passenger
  • Be prepared to get involved

Writing Magic - Writing with Confidence

9/23/2018

 
Do we consider that we can all write? Good speakers rarely consider those skills can be transferred to the page, and therefore there is an element of mastery that is needed that goes way beyond the need to be the best. My guests in the studio are Lydia Hamilton and Mandy Newman, the wonders behind Literary Giants a project with a mission to improve the quality and standard of writing around the world. This show will be relevant for teachers, parents and students themselves. How willing are we to be the change we want to see in our expression and equipping our next generation to be critical thinkers?

The debilitating scourge of fear

9/16/2018

 
Picture
Are we aware of how fear permeates our lives? or is it something that has become so normal that we just take it as part and parcel of who we are? I have been wondering if this pattern of behaviour then leads to us looking the other way with abuse and we then end up with the society we now have where domestic violence is considered part of the fabric of our community, corruption in business and our major institutions is expected, the press control and manipulate through the use of fear, the courts have us living in fear of not being believed. 
My guests today are Annette Baker and Gabrielle Caplice and together we look at how fear has become part of the fabric of our upbringing and means we struggle to open ourselves up in relationship. We look at what the impact of that might be and how we can support ourselves and each other to be ok with making mistakes and speaking up in life.

Fathers Day as a Farmer mid drought

9/2/2018

 
The pressure to perform, the pressure to provide means fathers can be under extraordinary pressure, add to this being a farmer and the income being dependent on the cycles of nature and it is clear to see the repercussions of the drought are not likely to go away quickly. Therefore supporting our farmers to take a realistic look at work practices and supporting them to the next step is part of a whole family approach.

Today 
Chris Iffland tells us first hand what life is like as a 5th generation farmer, Neil McWhannell talks about the Rotary Club of Wahroonga initiative to support the farmers, Hugh Burne our second farmer tells us about some of the infrastructure he has put in place that is supporting both his farm and his neighbours premises. Lastly United Tradies Chris Saville will be sharing his new project and helping our farmer Chris on the farm!
