S22E3 - Inspiring TED Talks - How Motivation Drives Success, with Ross Cunningham

In this "Inspiring TED Talks" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores Ross Cunningham's recent TED video, "How Motivation Drives Success." See the video here: https://youtu.be/vvCwPyMZIB4.  Video Overview: "Youth Speaker Ross Cunningham shares his personal perception of what motivation truly is, and explains how one can utilize it to overcome any challenge. His interest in this topic was originally sparked by his experiences concerning the concepts of motivation in sport. It also explored the importance of perseverance despite setbacks from a lack of natural ability. This inspired him to take part in this TEDx Youth Event and share his views on this topic.  Ross Cunningham is a student attending Frankfurt International School (FIS). He is initially from Scotland; however, he has spent a majority of his life in Germany. He is in his second year of the IB program, and takes psychology, biology and economics at higher level. He has written an extended essay investigating whether intelligence or motivation is the more important factor in the educational success of students, and his discoveries have intrigued him, inspiring him to participate in the upcoming TED talk event as a speaker surrounding this subject. In his spare time, he is member of a local badminton team, member of the Model United Nations and member of “Operation Smile”, a service group supporting children with cleft palates. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community."  Check out Dr. Westover's new book, 'Bluer than Indigo' Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/bluerthanindigo.  Check out Dr. Westover's book, The Alchemy of Truly Remarkable Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/leadershipalchemy.

S21E27 - Throwback Tuesday - Living Wakefully and Bridging Differences to Find True Collaboration, with Katherine Jansen-Byrkit

In this "Throwback Tuesday" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Katherine Jansen-Byrkit about living wakefully and bridging differences to find true collaboration (Originally aired January 31, 2021). See the video here: https://youtu.be/lLDLGw9YSu8. Katherine Jansen-Byrkit, MPH, LPC (https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherine-jansen-byrkit-a5b0b915/) has long had a passion for embodied wakefulness; wakefulness as a lived experience rather than simply a conceptual one. Her early professional life was a happy one as she enjoyed meaningful work in the field of Public Health. But over time, she felt an inner stirring and what was to ensue was a transition into her current work as a psychotherapist. For the past 15 years she has guided others with personal and relational transformation as her clients discover their own path of embodied wakefulness. Now, Katherine is thrilled to bring her work forward in her first book, River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness. She presents 9 aspects of wakefulness within a framework of the inner and outer world. She not only offers powerful ideas, but ways to integrate each with an inspiring “Story from the Field”. Favorite Quote: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” Check out Dr. Westover's new book, 'Bluer than Indigo' Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/bluerthanindigo.
