    Amy Daroukakis on Valuing Humanness

    Amy Daroukakis is Founder of Culture Concierge, providing global businesses, agencies and innovative start-ups with strategic insights (culture, category, citizen, company) and emergent trends. Amy is 'curious agnostic' and enjoys getting 'lost on purpose.'  In this conversation, we get lost on purpose with a 'brain dance' in that  liminal  space of being messy, inquiring, and inherently human.  Find out more here: https://cultureconcierge.co/ Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/

    Haris & Chloe on the art of documenting multicultural unions

    Haris & Chloe are a a husband and wife duo who photograph and film multicultural weddings. Haris is of Italian-Pakistani descent from London, and Chloe is a Chinese-Malaysian who grew up constantly on the move due to her father’s profession. In this conversation, we explore everything from the need to  hold space for cultural nuance and unspoken dynamics in weddings to breaking free from pre-determined 'wedding formulas' in order to capture the complexity of multicultural unions.   We discuss the importance of cultivating emotional safety, empathy and curiosity when tasked with witnessing the celebration of love and community that transcends religion, borders, ethnicities.

    Rajeev Balasubramanyam on Compassion, Dialogue & Non-avoidance

    Rajeev Balasubramanyam is a British writer. His first novel, IN BEAUTIFUL DISGUISES won a Betty Trask Prize and was nominated for the Guardian First Fiction Prize. In 2004 he was awarded the Clarissa Luard Prize for the best British writer under the age of 35. His latest novel is PROFESSOR CHANDRA FOLLOWS HIS BLISS which is translated into six languages and was the Bookseller’s book of the month in June 2019. Rajeev holds a PhD in English, and degrees from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He has lived in  London, Manchester, a remote Suffolk beach, Berlin, Kathmandu, and Hong Kong, where he was a Research Scholar in the Society of Scholars at Hong Kong University. He was a fellow of the Hemera Foundation from 2014-16, for writers with a meditation practice, and has been writer in residence at Crestone Zen Mountain Center and the Zen Center of New York City. But it is through his Instagram account (@Rajeevwriter)  exploring the fusion of politics and spirituality that I discover Rajeev's work. Rajeev's journey is a fascinating one.  We meet in St James Park under my favourite trees - two strangers, recording a conversation about how to engage with the world from a place of love, compassion and non-avoidance.   Find out more here: http://www.rajeevbalasubramanyam.com/ Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/

    Rebecca Robins on Mutuality & Intergenerational Collaboration

    Rebecca Robins is co-author of 'Five Generations at work: How we Win Together for Good. The book starts with a quote by Anne Carson - ‘To stay human is to break a limitation.’   Ultimately this is what we discuss  (alongside core themes in the book - Intergenerational Collaboration, Respect, Curiosity and most of all - Mutuality). A linguist and philosopher by background we go down many rabbit holes that are ultimately about what it means (to quote John Berger)  "defy the spaces which separates."  Link to book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Five-Generations-Work-Together-Good/dp/139425220X Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/

    Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan on the importance of active & engaged listening in healthcare

    Dr Rageshri Dhairwayan is an NHS Consultant in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine. Her book 'Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing' takes us on a journey through history to show how not listening to patients has been ingrained in medicine from its inception.   Western medicine has been built on the assumption that power should always lie with the doctor, and that patients should be powerless to decisions made about their body if it is done to make them well.  This, alongside the prejudices of society, has led to dramatic gaps in medical knowledge because for centuries people have not been heard. Dr Dhairwayan offers a way to reshape our health system for a future where active and engaged listening is the new frontier.  Buy her book here: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/unheard-the-medical-practice-of-silencing-dr-rageshri-dhairyawan/7647729?ean=9781398718692 Find our more about Dr Rageshri here: https://www.drrageshri.com/about Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/

    Bernice Hewson on Raising Racial Consciousness in Coaching

    Bernice Hewson is founder of Raising Racial Consciousness Ltd, an education and coaching organisation on a mission to disrupt our common-sense mode of thinking in pursuit of a racially equitable society.  She believes that if we’re serious about being effective coaches, we need to understand our own racial identity.  That the coaching profession cannot operate in a bubble, detached from context.  That coaching can be part of the solution to systemic harm - but only if we’re willing to face it. Working with leadership teams, DEI practitioners, executive coaches and supervisors, she provides a critical thinking environment in which to learn and unlearn.  Towards the end of our conversation, we reference a Linkedin post she had shared about the tensions in coaching - here is the link to it: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bernicehewson_contradictions-in-coaching-activity-7307702312620224512-lazY?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAVbYOYBWTEo34hLUrKQx9NeUq7CTFzGpOg Find out more about her organisation here: https://raisingracialconsciousness.com/ Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/

    Ann Fordham on Ageing as a Radical Act

    Ann Fordham and I have known each other since we were 11 years old (and my first ever podcast guest, recorded over 2 years ago*). It was only fitting that I invited her back to talk about what it means to 'Age' as women today. Having known each other for over three decades, we reflect at what it means to be at this stage in our lives and what it means to 'age' in our youth obsessed culture.  From Childhood insecurities to Botox to Gravestones, we cover lots of ground! Ultimately, the art of 'ageing well' turns out to be same as 'living well.'   *Link to our first episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2C5lrWoB14UEVzaCnoyZlI?si=NfeUJuywRQa5bEYFB-tAqg Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/

    Hetty Einzig & Liz Rivers on Purpose, Power & Presence

    Hetty Einzig and Liz Rivers created Purpose Power Presence to help women leaders recognise their brilliance, strengthen their resolve and fine tune their skills.  They have each trained to work at depth – in psychotherapy, neuropsychology, and embodiment techniques. Committed to bringing this depth to their work with women – it’s this combination of real world experience and deep self-awareness that forms the basis of their programmes . In our conversation, they answer questions like: When was the last time you realised your insignificance in the world? What's an expression of love you're trying to get better at? And how they're creating 'Archipelagos of Sanity'.  They both have decades of experience working in and with organisations, corporate and small businesses, charities and social movements.  Find out more about their programmes here:  Athena Leadership Intensive: https://purpose-power-presence.com/athena-leadership-intensive/ Our free monthly webinars for women: https://purpose-power-presence.com/free-resources/ Anima: Our ongoing group for women: https://purpose-power-presence.com/anima-co-vision-groups/ Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/
