    Prepare for an inspiring conversation with Rijon Erickson, a world-renowned consultant, author and trailblazer in Open Space Technology (OST). If you aren't familiar, OST is a cutting-edge meeting facilitation process that flips traditional agendas on their head. With its unique approach, participants take the reins of their discussions by creating their own agenda and forming self-organised working groups. 
    I've seen this transformative power firsthand since attending my first Open Space in 2015. It's now my number one facilitation tool. With its ability to enable any group to produce astonishing outcomes, it is the most effective way to enable any group of people to have the magic happen, bar perhaps doing actual magic.
    We talk:
    From jazz musician to IT helpdesk to high-level facilitator
    Discovering Open Space for the first time
    The core principles of Open Space
    The issue with Hackathons

    #274 Understanding Human Reactions with Polyvagal Theory - with Deb Dana

    > Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/
     
    This week, I speak with Deb Dana, a renowned clinician, author and pioneer in elucidating and applying Polyvagal Theory.
    Polyvagal Theory is a breakthrough in understanding how our nervous system works. It explains how our subconscious detection of danger cues trips us into one of three dominant states: calm, connected, curious - ventral vagas; fight or flight - sympathetic; and shutdown - dorsal vagal. Appreciating this aspect of how our nervous system works can help us to understand our reactions to everyday situations and how to help ourselves, and others return to a connected state.
    We talk:
    Beyond the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system
    What a fidgetting colleague tells us
    How to ladder up to achieve calm
    Why employee 'disengagement' is not the problem
    When to direct and when to give options
