Thrilled to be shortlisted for The Speaker Awards!! The inspiration behind the talk began when I was 10 years old and I experienced a potentially fatal bike accident which left me physically scarred for life. Fast forward 35 years and I know now (through my own hypnotherapy) that what led to the events of that fateful day was my desire to “fit in” and feel “good enough”. Rejection and shame is the biggest fear among the human population. It is this deep-rooted fear which leads to the lack of self-esteem, negative thought patterns and limiting behaviours that hold many people back from reaching their true capabilities. I now work with people of all ages to free them from the “root-causes” of their lack of confidence by teaching them how release and work with their minds. In this TEDx talk I explain how your subconscious mind can be viewed like a Stallion. Left to roam wild it can be very destructive, but if you, as the rider, can learn to calm and control that stallion, its potential for achievement is endless. I share 5 key strategies to “ride your mind” and I recommend checking it out! Search: “You Tube Cat Williams Your Mind Is A Stallion” #tedx #shortlist

What zero cost action could we ask of our new Government in their first 100 days? Well here is an essential piece for any advocate of arts education. Department for Culture, Media and Sport Department for Education An end to dismissive references to ‘ mickey mouse’ education would be an easy win. Getting behind our amazing creative sector and the educators who nurture our creative workforce would be a powerful start.

This week, we’re spotlighting Ricardo L. Ortiz, a 36-year member of the MLA. Read about how Ricardo’s involvement with the Delegate Assembly, the ADE Executive Committee, and more have had an impact on his work: “The MLA’s remarkable professional effectiveness, cultural adaptability, and institutional resilience over these nearly four decades have all impressed me. The organization neither ‘looks’ or ‘acts’ like it did when I first registered as a member in 1988; many of those changes measure meaningful and necessary progress over many areas of professional and intellectual practice; others reflect its responsiveness to a series of structural and historical impacts over a very tumultuous period of time; all the while, the organization has held steady to its core commitments to humanistic inquiry, academic freedom, and (always increasingly) democratic and equitable access.” Recommended resource: “Over almost four decades, the MLA has been a central resource for me professionally: connecting me to colleagues in my field(s), providing multiple opportunities to share my scholarly work, recognizing that work with one (shared) publication award and one honorable mention, and offering countless opportunities for professional service in support of my field(s), the profession, and the organization itself.” #MLAMemberSpotlight https://lnkd.in/edynZ76U 

The increasing introduction of technology into services as a way to replace, or work with, human frontline staff got us thinking... 🤔 If self-service technologies ( 💡 think: self-checkouts) have largely failed to stop theft - and instead introduced a whole new type of theft (think: swiping all your items as 'carrots' 🥕 ), then what does that mean for humanoid robots that fit somewhere between the self-service technology (#definitelynothuman) and the actual human frontline employee, for theft prevention skills? In our paper, we found that while service robots did a better job at guarding the servicescape from misbehaviour than self-service technologies, a human frontline employee is STILL the better choice for reducing opportunities for consumer misbehaviour. We are very happy to receive this award from Journal of Services Marketing - but sad we could not be in France to receive it in person! 🍷 🥐 🇫🇷 Thank you Prof. Rebekah Russell-Bennett and Mark Scott Rosenbaum, Ph.D. for your support through the review and editorial process. This was a true team effort and I am so grateful for the collaboration from these amazing women Dominique Greer, Dr Kate Letheren, and Kate L. Daunt 😍 🏆 #services #theft #consumerbehaviour #innovation #retail QUT Centre for Future Enterprise
