  1. Charles Street on Digital Transformation

    Charles Street on Digital Transformation

    In this episode, I reconnect with Charles to reflect on our past experiences working together and the lessons we've learned from challenging situations. It’s fascinating to hear how Charles has evolved, now leading digital transformation at a bank in Australia. He shares his inspiring journey, launching a project called Inkwazi, which combines adventure with a mission to make a difference in South Africa. Listening to him navigate the complexities of registering Inkwazi, his organisation, as a business instead of a charity, and how they partnered with a registered charity to meet their goals, was enlightening. What stood out to me the most was hearing about the life-changing impact of providing bicycles to children in remote South African communities. It's incredible to see how this initiative has boosted education and empowered these kids, with Charles detailing how he closes the loop with donors by sharing the tangible results of their support. It’s a powerful conversation about leadership, transformation, and creating meaningful change. linkedin.com/in/streetcharles https://www.inkwaziadventures.com.au/ This episode is sponsored by Smaply https://www.smaply.com/?thisishcd Become a member: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/circle-a-community-for-ethically-conscious-designers-changemakers Book a Coaching Chemistry Call: https://calendly.com/gerryscullion/coaching-chemistry-call 😀 Follow/Like Us Socially 😀 Instagram - /thisishcd Twitter - /thisishcd YouTube - /thisishcd #DigitalTransformation #CommunityEmpowerment #AdventureLeadership Learn more about your ad choices.

    Neil Theise: Resilience, Recovery and Reality

    Welcome to another episode of This is HCD. We welcome back Neil Theise, a guest we know and love to have on the show. In this episode, Neil shares his personal journey of overcoming significant health challenges. He reflects on his recovery process, expressing gratitude for being pain-free and mobile again. The conversation explores the mind-body connection, the importance of light and windows in workplaces, and Neil's views on resilience and adaptation, drawing parallels between cellular processes and societal dynamics. He challenges the machine metaphor for the human body and discusses the interconnectedness of reality. Neil also touches on themes of consciousness and mental health, sharing his experiences with resilience and depression, and how physical therapy and exercise played a role in his recovery. Additionally, he reflects on his father's experience during the Kindertransport and its influence on his understanding of resilience. Looking ahead, Neil plans to write books on consciousness, death, and lessons from the AIDS crisis. As always, it has been our pleasure to have Neil join us and no doubt, we will hear from him again someday soon.

    Insights from Adam Cochrane on Innovation and Community

    Welcome to another episode of This is HCD. In this episode, I chat with Adam Cochrane, the Senior Strategic Designer at Lufthansa Innovation Hub and the Conference Director for the Service Design Global Conference. Adam shares insights into his role at Lufthansa, where he drives innovation through strategic intelligence, research, and venture support. As the conference director, he ensures the event's content and experience align with the theme of designing for impact. Adam clarifies that the Service Design Network is a non-profit, and these conferences aren’t about making money. He invites everyone to join the fun and professional service design community at the conference, whether in person or remotely. We also discuss the challenges of ageism in design and the importance of community building for professional growth. With the upcoming conference in Helsinki, Adam highlights Finland’s rich design culture and promises diverse speakers, workshops, and networking opportunities, all focused on the value and impact of service design. linkedin.com/in/adambcochrane Become a member: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/circle-a-community-for-ethically-conscious-designers-changemakers Book a Coaching Chemistry Call: https://calendly.com/gerryscullion/coaching-chemistry-call 😀 Follow/Like Us Socially 😀 Instagram - /thisishcd Twitter - /thisishcd YouTube - /thisishcd #HumanCenteredDesign #ServiceDesign #Innovation #DesignConference #DesignForImpact #StrategicDesign #InnovationHub #ServiceDesignGlobal #LufthansaInnovation #ConferenceDirector #ProfessionalDevelopment #CommunityBuilding #AgeismInDesign #FinnishDesign #NetworkingOpportunity Learn more about your ad choices.
