“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

I am in Zurich, capturing the sounds of the city - and also sharing 3 helpful ways to frame any conversation about value. We often need executive buy-in, support or air cover for our work, but many people fail to communicate these ideas effectively. Well, here's an idea worth playing with - frame your requests in language that resonates and a frame that makes sense. I share the 3 elements of the frame as well as some cracking audio of Cathedral bells, rivers and more from Zurich. As usual, you can find more content on cultivatedmanagement.com You can find BTS footage, images and video from Zurich on Instagram - @simplylambert Thanks Rob..…

The 8 Different Types of Intelligence 9:18

hace 36 weeks9:18

9:18

Hi, I hope you are doing well. Welcome to another Here’s An Idea Worth Playing With (HAIWPW). The weekly audio show about ideas that I think are worth playing with. I recorded this at lunch today, after recording a video about park benches (yes, you read that right). I was at Avington Park , a wonderful estate just outside of Winchester. It was cold. There were some menacing looking bulls. The swans were circling. Some bird watchers were hanging around. And I was musing about the 8 different types of intelligence and playing with the idea that our workplaces may benefit from appreciating, amplifying and accelerating the diversity of intelligence. This list is from this source . The 8: Spatial intelligence - Abstract and dimensional thinking Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence - Understanding our body Musical intelligence - Sensitivity to rhythm, etc Linguistic/Language intelligence - flow, correct words, melody, tone Logical-mathematical intelligence - The ability to analyze problems logically (the classical idea of intelligence) Interpersonal intelligence - The ability to interact effectively with others Intrapersonal intelligence - Sensitivity to one’s own feelings, goals, capabilities and values Naturalistic intelligence - The ability to understand nature I mention: The communication workshop (we cover a couple of these 8 in this course). The Trinity of Career Development The 10 Behaviours of Effective Employees That’s been an idea worth playing with. Have a fab week. Rob..…
