À propos de cette écoute

We live in an increasingly polarised world so where do we go from here? Ben and John are Sweetspot hunters exploring everyday polarities and patterns. We illuminate opposites, tensions, contradictions, and distinctions and seek to view these through the lens of a Sweetspot. Nuance, both and approaches, relational thinking, integration, synthesis, common ground, and balance are examples of such stances. We interview diverse guest explorers, who bring a wealth of insight and critical thinking, on this adventure as we search for elusive Sweetspots.© 2024 Sweetpot Safari Philosophie Sciences sociales

    • SWEETSPOT SAFARI # 22 :: ignornace and knowledge w/Rob Bell
      Dec 2 2024
      After a short break Sweetspot Safari returns with guest explorer Rob Bell. Rob is a talented broadcaster, podcaster and engineer and we explore a broad range of topics centering on the theme of ignorance vs knowledge. We talk about how the internet might be emphasising superficial knowledge at the expense of deeper understanding, the difference between general and specialist knowledge, the wisdom beneath the concept of beginner's mind, the fascinating Dunning-Kruger effect and much more. As usual the theme of critical thinking weaves through this conversation and we finish up by pondering whether more knowledge equates to more happiness.

    • SWEETSPOT SAFARI # 21 /|\ youth and elders w/Mark Straw
      Sep 2 2024
      During this episode we chat with Mark Straw, the founder of Community Praxis. Their mission is to support third sector organisations and communities in the development of a critical lens and participatory approaches to building cohesive and connected spaces. We have a wide ranging discussion around the need for intergenerational collaboration. Topics we touch on include accelerating change, unhelpful stereotypes, rites of passage, role models, wisdom and how the pandemic response negatively impacted young and old. Our culture and societies depends on the transmission of knowledge between these groups so how do we pivot away from increasingly destructive conflict and towards productive collaboration?

    • SWEESTPOT SAFARI #20 /|\ employee and employer w/Glenn Martin
      Aug 5 2024
      In this session we have Glenn Martin, founder and CEO of "Never mind the Job Spec" , walking us through the complexities and attributes of the job acquisition process, and the power of "Human Centred Hiring" . We explore the balance and power dynamic between employer and candidate and the differences between employer brand and talent brand. The market is shifting rapidly, not just driven by technology but values. We look for sweetspots, but clearly employers have to understand that they have to be realistic about the influence they have in the job market. Candidates have more levers to pull with access to company information and the perceived values / company branding in the marketplace. The employer can control their employer brand, but not the talent brand. Parity is more evident, companies who are not open and recognise their own gaps, or they will suffer indirectly in the acquisition process. For job seekers there may be a fear of dehumanisation within the process, but the technology adoption is not advance as we may think. Glenn poses the question, whether companies really understand hybrid working and how employees are treated? There will be a new social contract in place, which will not go backwards.
