Why do humans play? cooperate culture #32 with Jeffrey Burgdorf

In this episode of the cooperate culture podcast, I spoke with Jeffrey Burgdorf. Jeffrey is a Professor at Northwestern University who dedicated his career to the neuroscience of positive emotions. Amongst many things, he found out that rats can actually laugh and identified genes activated by play that promote neuronal growth. I wanted to know how scientists explain the phenomenon of human play, whether a playful mindset can help us cooperate, and how we can actually become more playful in everyday life. Jeff shared his thoughts on why animals and humans play, what’s the difference between play and goal-oriented behavior, and how AI might affect our playing capabilities. And he made it clear that there are not only a lot of good reasons to play, but also a lot of ways to be playful - both in social interaction with others and in nonsocial activities without other people. I was really impressed by the richness of insight that Jeffrey has around this complex phenomenon of play - and by the interesting conclusions he drew for human cooperation. If you are searching for inspiration to approach your professional challenges more playfully, this episode is for you. This podcast is brought to you by emtsev cooperation.

How to have good conversations? cooperate culture #31 with Robert Poynton

In this episode of the cooperate culture podcast, I spoke with Robert Poynton. Robert is a highly experienced facilitator, an associate fellow at Green Templeton College at the University of Oxford, and the author of four books that I all read with great interest. In his work, Robert focuses on the application of ideas from improvisation to everyday life, the relationship with time and the everyday miracle of conversations. We talked about the ingredients of real dialogue, the role of questions and responses, and some of the major challenges when talking with each other. Robert shared stories about his work as a facilitator, some of his favorite interventions to spark conversations, and why wearing funky animal slippers will change any board meeting. We also explored how to improvise when facing uncertainty, the role of playfulness in professional settings, and the importance of pause. And along the way, we both realised that good conversations not only depend on what you say, but how you say it, and that we can really practice our capacity to sense what a conversation needs from us, and what we need from a conversation. If you are interested in the dynamics behind great conversations or just want to listen to one, I think this episode could be for you. This podcast is brought to you by emtsev cooperation.

Can we have planetary dialogues? cooperate culture #30 with François Taddei

In this episode of the cooperate culture podcast, I spoke with François Taddei. François is the founder, president and “Chief Exploration Officer” of the Learning Planet Institute in Paris. He is an internationally renowned researcher in evolutionary molecular biology who now devotes his time to the science of learning and teaching - especially working on how we as humans can learn to care better for ourselves, others, and the planet. Having the chance to talk to such a highly accomplished explorer of the learning world, I wanted to know from François how cooperation and learning are connected, how we can use our human dialogue capacities to learn and grow together, and whether we really need authorities to develop new knowledge. Francois shared his ideas on the role of AI, how to develop collective dialogue skills, and whether life in outer space would help us collaborate better on planet earth. He reminded me that the only thing that travels faster than light is imagination - and that moving forward towards what he calls “planetizenship”, we need to think about new forms of collective, ethical dreaming. If you are someone who likes to ask yourself the big questions about life, humanity and our planetary future, this episode is for you. You can learn more about François and his work on the website of the Learning Planet Institute at https://www.learningplanetinstitute.org/fr/ or by following him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fran%C3%A7ois-taddei-3696b919/.

How to cooperate in space? cooperate culture #29 with Anna Christina Günster

In this episode of the cooperate culture podcast, I spoke with Anna Christina Günster from the European Space Agency (ESA). Anna is an HR professional in ESA’s HR Center of Competence and an Industrial-Organisational Psychologist with 25 years’ international cross-sector HR experience in Talent Management, Leadership Development & Organisational Development. Anna has an impressive career path in aerospace organisations. Before joining ESA in 2014, she built up and managed the Graduate Program of the German Aerospace Center in Cologne for several years - a program that trains PhD candidates in transversal skills for their future as leaders in space industry and space research. Besides her extensive knowledge about the work dynamics within space agencies, Anna has also worked in research, industry, NGO, public & government sectors. During our conversation, we talked about Anna’s perspectives on human cooperation, what makes for successful teamwork, and what the biggest challenges are when working in such an international organisation as ESA. Anna also shared what other industries can learn from ESA's projects in space, the psychological needs behind successful cooperation and the future of leadership. I was deeply impressed by the capacity of the people at ESA to solve such complicated challenges within complex and partly unpredictable environments, how leaders have to provide both technical expertise and emotional intelligence, and how ESA as an organisation navigates the ambiguity between freedom of innovation and structure of processes on a daily basis. This episode is for everyone interested in how the people at ESA work together to explore the universe and achieve seemingly impossible things. If you want to learn more about Anna and her work, you can find her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annachristinaguenster/ or discover the many facets of ESA on their official website at https://www.esa.int/. You can also have a closer look at the ESA Convention that Anna mentioned at https://esamultimedia.esa.int/multimedia/publications/SP-1344/ESA_Convention_SP-1344_EN.pdf. The ESA Convention 1975 treaty is the founding framework of the European Space Agency and the basis of European space cooperation. It defines ESA’s purpose as advancing space for peaceful purposes, strengthening Europe’s scientific, technological and industrial capabilities in space, and delivering benefits to society. The convention also describes ESA’s governance. Through the Council, ESA Member States shape strategy, priorities and funding, while pooling resources and capabilities to pursue programmes no single nation could achieve alone. This balance between Member State influence, shared mission and coordinated execution makes ESA a distinctive model of international cooperation. And finally, if you are curious to know what job opportunities exist at ESA, find out more on https://www.esa.int/About_Us/Careers_at_ESA. This podcast is brought to you by emtsev cooperation.

Can conflicts at work be healthy? cooperate culture #28 with Gabriela Ourivio Assmar

In this episode of cooperate culture, I spoke with Gabriela Ourivio Assmar. Gabriela currently works as Mediator at the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva, where she is responsible for workplace conflicts worldwide. Originally from Brazil, she has almost 30 years of professional experience in multinational top management and as an entrepreneur. Gabriela set up two legal departments, a public affairs department, founded a Brazilian NGO and much more. Prior to her work at the International Labour Organization in Geneva, she worked as an ombudsperson for several organizations in Rio de Janeiro. With Gabriela, we talked about what makes conflict so interesting for her, what her work at the ILO is all about, and what differentiates healthy from unhealthy conflict. Gabriela shared her thoughts on how to make it easier for people to openly address conflict at work, the role of psychological safety, and the need for clear conflict resolution structures within organizations. My main takeaway was that conflict mediation in organizations has to be rethought - and Gabriela gave a lot of inspiration on how to do that.

Wie wird Natur zum Business-Booster? cooperate culture #26 mit Tamara Wyszynski

In dieser Folge von cooperate culture habe ich mit Tamara Wyszynski gesprochen. Tamara ist systemische Business Coach, Facilitator und Transformationsgestalterin. Was mich von Anfang an sehr an Tamaras Arbeit interessiert hat, ist ihr starker Bezug zur Natur. Tamara nutzt nämlich die Natur und die Arbeit im Freien, um Menschen in beruflichen Herausforderungen zu unterstützen. Wir haben über Tamara’s beruflichen Weg ins Outdoor-Coaching gesprochen, wie sich die Bürowelt mit der Außenwelt verbinden lässt, ob uns moderne Technologien Zugang zur Natur verschaffen können, und warum im Kontakt mit der Natur so viel Potenzial steckt. Ich habe Tamara nach ihren Methoden im Outdoor-Coaching gefragt und was ihre Arbeit mit Inner Development Goals (IDG) zu tun hat, wir haben über ihre aktuellen Ideen einer Outdoor-App gesprochen und auch darüber, wie sich Natur und KI integrieren lassen. Mir ist dabei klar geworden: Draußen arbeiten ermöglicht uns, weiter zu denken. Die Natur bietet uns so viele Angebote - und wir können sie produktiv für unsere Arbeit nutzen. Es war ein toller und sehr inspirierender Austausch - und ich hatte danach sofort Lust, rauszugehen. Das könnt ihr natürlich auch gerne machen. Meine Empfehlung: Kopfhörer an, raus an die frische Luft, und los gehts! Falls ihr mehr über Tamara und ihre Arbeit erfahren wollt, könnt ihr sie auf LinkedIn finden: / 🌱-tamara-wyszynski-223b0083 .
