  Obstacles Or Opportunities?

  Sep 3, 202524 minS1

  <p>This is another show from my archive. It was recorded in 2014, after I saw my guest (Professor Jesse Stommel) speak at the Higher Education Arts and Humanities conference. What was I doing, hanging around with PH-Ds and Professors? I'll tell you on the blog at:</p><p>https://www.savvybusinessresolutions.com/blog -</p><p>a couple of days after this is published.</p><p></p><p>If you caught Episode 4 of the series, you'll have heard a couple of clips from this show. I'm re-releasing it in full because it deals with the tug-of-war between 'real' and 'virtual...

  How Much Do We Really Remember?

  Aug 28, 202527 minS1

  <p>In memory of the late Suzanne Corkin, 1937/2016.</p><p> </p><p>You may have heard a clip from this programme in Episode 4. As I say on the new intro, I’m re-releasing it in full because our memories create so much conflict at work – and understanding why is key to managing that. There’s also the fact that we may need to manage the effects of memory loss, in ourselves or our customers/clients or colleagues.</p><p> </p><p>In 2015, via Skype, I spoke to Prof. Suzanne Corkin, of MIT. I was inspired to approach her for an interv...

  They Speak English ... Don't They?!

  Aug 22, 202536 minS1

  <p>In 2013, via Skype (apologies for any audio quality issues!), American businesswoman, Colleen Jolly and I looked - and laughed! - at the assumption we'd each made on our first trip to each other's countries. Colleen was also able to bring another perspective, having worked in Australia as well as the UK. So on this show, we talked about:</p><p></p><p>Cultural faux pas 101 (that number is now understood to mean the same thing on both sides of the pond - but when she first came here ...?!);</p><p>Why you really shouldn't go by the book;</p><...

  11 From The Archive: Why Architects Need To Use Their Ears.

  <p>Between 2013 and 2016, I made a series called:</p><p></p><p>‘Conversations with the Invisible Woman’.</p><p></p><p>It was focused on communication in general. Although the topic of disputes and conflicts at work cropped up regularly! So in 2025, when I came to make the first series of ‘Investing in Conversation’, I decided to include some clips from those earlier programmes.</p><p></p><p>In this show, recorded in 2013, author, speaker and internationally renowned sound expert, Julian Treasure talks about how the majority of buildings are designed ‘by and for the eyes’ and the impact that has on:</p><...

  The Last Word on Conflict Management?

  Jun 10, 202520 minS1

  <p>As I say on this final show in the first series, the topic is:</p><p></p><p>‘Something we’ve been talking about since the first episode. … The first word on conflict management is “collaboration”’ and the last is ‘culture’, because that ‘runs under, over, around and through everything you need to collaborate successfully’.</p><p></p><p>To demonstrate that, there’s a little montage of clips from earlier episodes, with:</p><p></p>Julian Treasure – on listening,Colleen Jolly – on being divided by a common language (who also speaks from experience this time, about going by the book on her first trip...
