Episode 275: What makes people selfish?

In short what you reward in society. I've spent 3 weeks processing notes to make this a talk not a rant. Sorry Irish people swear when passionate and very honest. Book I'm reading: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50622390-just-as-i-amNews articles:https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/dublin-pubs-capel-street-pedestrianisation-21484332?fbclid=IwAR0c1T_g7X8DbSxUPpxAfp5EAUqmFevv0PbXkRXEBeoa1RPbXT_k4xCy4tchttps://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40373642.html** last news story to add now that I found one with some background - https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/31/us/harlem-hellfighters-congressional-gold-medal-trnd/index.html

Episode 274: The dark side of people

The uses of looking at the whole and what it brings up for you. We can't simply avoid words or quotes or work left by those with darkness - we need to see what we can learn from their journey and why they behave the way they do. I use a number of Carl Jung quotes listed below.  ”One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.”Jung“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”Jung“Your perception will become clear only when you can look into your soul.”Jung“Everything about other people that doesn’t satisfy us helps us to better understand ourselves.”Jung

Episode 273: Maternity ward to my door

Much of my work begins in the first experience of life on earth. The first moments of a team being formed or not. We have got this seriously wrong for the future of the world during these pandemic days. This whole series of podcasts has been inspired by the Alice walker book, We are the ones we have been waiting for. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40968.We_Are_the_Ones_We_Have_Been_Waiting_forAn extract - I hope she won't mind me sharing this link but maybe it will encourage you to get the whole book and read it! A must for these times that was published in 2006 and maybe a little too far ahead for many... https://books.google.ie/books?id=5PSx7PJ_2tYC&pg=PT608&lpg=PT608&dq=three+fates+alice+walker&source=bl&ots=6YrtIa6prV&sig=ACfU3U0W7bbDl6Cu7HoGd3KU4YQjfgBVIQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjAlMfyqcLyAhVQQkEAHYYuDx8Q6AF6BAgREAM#v=onepage&q=three%20fates%20alice%20walker&f=false

Episode 269: The Development Journey

It's taken me a decade to understand why I didn't want to replicate the Montessori method and way of leaving a legacy of wor behind. There are limitations when we are so set to leaving behind structures/methods rather than principles
