The most important panel discussion was the one chaired by Petra Velzeboer who was asking great questions of Minou Sadeghpour & Peter Arnevall. The question being raised … Continue reading ‘What can the UK learn from the Scandinavian’s approach to national resilience?’

A new report from the International Labour Organization highlights a stark reality: over 840,000 people die each year from health conditions linked to psychosocial risks at work—things like long hours, job insecurity, and harassment. These pressures, often tied to cardiovascular disease and mental health struggles, also cost the global economy around 1.37% of GDP annually. … Continue reading 840,000 people die each year from health conditions linked to psychosocial risks at work
Put people inside a rigid hierarchy with poor accountability…and don’t be surprised who climbs fastest. Not the most capable.Not the most grounded. The most adapted to the game.

Gentle movement and shared rhythm naturally increase anandamide, serotonin, and … Continue reading Real change doesn’t come from telling people what to think!

Not the kind you rest your head on, but the kind someone tore apart and dumped in the local park — its synthetic filling scattered by the wind like snow made of plastic. So my son and I grabbed a … Continue reading Why We Wild School

On most social platforms, you’ll either be ignored or dropped into an echo chamber of outrage. The algorithms reward heat, not light. Nuance gets drowned out by noise. And yet, this is exactly the … Continue reading Capitalism, Progress, and the Lost Art of Civil Dialogue
