Understanding Program Creation and Execution
The podcast emphasizes the essential steps involved in creating and executing a program. It begins with the planning phase, which includes drawing up the program to ensure everyone involved shares the same vision and goals. For instance, a university may take considerable time to develop and finalize a course program, which ultimately affects its launch. Once the program is agreed upon, actions are taken to run or offer it, exemplifying the effective management of educational initiatives.
Exposing the Dark Side of the Wellness Industry
The podcast delves into the troubling realities and allegations surrounding the wellness industry, especially in the context of yoga. It discusses the experience of Miranda, who, while initially drawn to a safe and transformative yoga school, later encounters disturbing situations involving grooming and exploitation. The narrative highlights how individuals can become ensnared in harmful environments, often without realizing the gradual manipulation at play. Ultimately, the focus is on the importance of speaking out against these abuses to protect others and promote accountability within the wellness community.
You can 'draw up' and 'agree' a programme. If you're 'running' it, you need to 'launch' it. If someone else is offering a programme, you need to 'enrol on' it to 'follow' it. These are some verbs that are commonly used with the noun 'programme'. You can learn these and more with Phil in this podcast.
