Episode 40 Collective Conversations | with Josh Reid Jones

Collective Conversations | with Josh Reid Jones

Just be nice. It’s not that hard! It's not about huge hero moves right away, you don’t have to start by being the nicest person in the world, just kick off each day with the goal of trying to be nicer.

Every day. In every interaction. With every person... a little bit nicer. It shouldn't be that hard , right? Given all the changes that are going on around us and the uncertainty the ideal of being nice for some of us is really hard. Mentally we are struggling. JOSH REID JONES the Founder of the Just Be Nice Project is on the frontline and knows only too well it's the little things that can have the biggest impact.

In this podcast with Suzanne Jones, Josh explains that it's OK to be feeling uneasy and it's a time to look after our own well being and check in on those around us.

It really is ok to not be ok, none of us should feel uncomfortable with experiencing the full gamut of regular human emotions. Independent of mental health statistics, at one point or another, each of us will have a moment of ‘not being ok’. The causes of not-being-ok are infinite, and if we were to examine every individual reason or cause that leads to someone ‘not being ok’, we will be here for a long time. The current uptake in the proclamation of this sentiment; “it’s ok to not be ok” “it ain’t weak to speak” “speak up” etc; is usually related to the discussion of where you may be sitting in the broad spectrum of ‘mental health’, letting people know that it’s ok if you have feelings, and ok to talk about them.

Episode 34 Collective Conversations | Talking Mental Health in COVID-19 with Rae Bonney

Collective Conversations | Talking Mental Health in COVID-19 with Rae Bonney

As Stage 3 restrictions take affect we check in with Rae Bonney, Integrated Wellbeing specialist on understanding stages of grief and loss that we may be feeling at this time.

In todays Collective Conversation podcast, broadcaster Suzanne Jones talks to Rae about understanding our emotions and tips on keeping a routine while in isolation.

Many people associate grief primarily with death and loss of significant relationships and things. During this time of extraordinary change where many freedoms are being denied, daily activities banned and isolation from others is a lifesaving necessity, you may be having difficulty coming to terms with your emotions.  Becoming familiar with the process of grief may be useful in helping make sense of yours and other’s out of character behaviour.

Everybody is experiencing some kind of loss during this time, whether it’s the tangible loss of a job or security, the loss of personal freedoms, the loss of friends or loved ones when we can't see them regularly, or the loss of our mental/physical health if we become unwell.

There’s little denying that recent events have affected how people are feeling and our mental health is being compromised, emotions stretched, and the sense of fear is palpable.  Our ability to share our reactions to a rapidly changing world is shifting from human interaction to the endless void of social media pages.  What’s difficult to track, is the emotional challenge of people living in isolation, whether it’s alone, in families or groups.  We are rapidly losing touch with physical support environments to express their feelings and let off steam.

The Five Stages of grief a theory was developed by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in1969 kübler-ross stages of grief

It’s a useful model to help break down the way in which we deal with the feeling of loss and how it may relate to how you and others are coping during this period.

Episode 33 Collective Conversations | Talking COVID-19 with Warren Roberts

Collective Conversations | COVID-19 with Warren Roberts

Death. It's a topic that can silence a conversation. Many of us just don't want to talks about it. However, given the current pandemic it is in our face every day.

In this Collective Conversation podcast Warren Roberts, the Founder of Living Legacy Forest is calling on us to talk more about our own mortality and how we can honour the lives of our loved ones.

Warren talks with host Suzanne Jones, on how Covid-19 is affecting our traditions.

About Living Legacy Forest and Warren Roberts

Our mission is to connect people to beauty that life creates by planting living memorial forests which honour and perpetuate life.

We provide the highest calibre of memorial experience with world-class soil science and biotechnology that sustains life.

Episode 30 Collective Conversations | Talking COVID-19 with Josh Reid Jones

Collective Conversations | COVID-19 with Josh Reid Jones

JOSH REID JONES, the Founder of the JUST BE NICE project is calling on business to stand up and set a high bar during this crisis to set a solid foundations for moving forward.

Suzanne Jones chats with Josh about leading through today and the days and weeks ahead.

This Collective Conversation episode to a must for those feeling a little directionless with the every changing events.

In this podcast Josh talks about-

In times of crisis or not, building things to the bare minimum, conducting yourself with the bare minimum amount of care, executing contracts and looking after people to the bare minimum letter of the law… is not leadership.

In times of crisis, we need to do better for each other, and for those who have no choice.

-         Vulnerable people and communities

-         Healthcare workers

-         The healthcare system

-         Those with unstable/cancelled employment

-         Workers supporting those of us who cannot work.

The current situation is such that we are being encouraged to spend as little time as possible interacting with people we do not live with. Every interaction becomes exponentially multiplied by the follow up interactions that each person has after that, raising not only the risk of infection, but the risk of death and health system overload.

Just because they haven’t technically cancelled your business, doesn’t mean we should all just carry on at the maximum capacity possible if it will put people at risk.

Just because you can afford to, and haven’t been told not to buy all of the items in a shop, doesn’t mean you should.

When the crisis is over, just because you can technically hire, fire, pay less, not pay contracts, build poor quality buildings and products, can technically market things that don’t work or are bad for people, can sell lies and keep people in the dark about things, doesn’t mean you should.

Banks have been practising poor leadership for years in this space, doing what they can get away with, rather than what they should do.

Construction companies have been practicing poor leadership in this space, in a never ending race to the bottom for cheaper places, with more waste, poorer construction and less utility in their apartment buildings and new house and land building suburbs.

Governments have done it by slashing public services, investment in public education, science and sustainability and privatising industries for short-term gain, or letting whole industries die, shutting the door on economic opportunities in that space going forward.

There are dozens of examples, from dozens of industries. Lauding adherence to minimum standards and loopholes as being good business, or clever business people, regardless of the auxiliary cost in the long term.

Real leadership is not about adherence to the minimum standards. Real leadership is stepping up and doing the best possible thing, every, single, time.

Real leadership is doing things that are right in the long term, because that is the most important decision to make.

Real leadership is about making decisions and standing by them, and then learning from them.

Real leadership is compassionate, understanding, informed and accountable. It is forward thinking, consistent and it relates to human beings above all.

If you are in charge of an organisation, move away from minimum standards, and set high bars for yourself. High ethical bars, high performance bars, high bars for how you care about people and the community.

In your personal conduct, set high bars. High bars for your own performance, your character, your ethical standards and how you treat each other.

Lead by doing more for others, not simply doing more for short term economic gain. Do more to develop people and bring them along. Do more to teach, and do more to help. Do more to help build environments that allow people to thrive, and lean into opportunities.

Leadership is not about just adhering to minimum standards, and we should not celebrate any ‘leader’ who conducts themselves or their organisations in this fashion.

The Just Be Nice Project

If you'd like to make 2020 the year where your impact is amplified and your leadership and impact is of the highest possible quality don't hesitate to get in touch. Or support the Just Be Nice Project for the long-term here, we cannot do it without you, and our work in 2020 is now more important than ever.

Episode 27 Collective Conversations | Talking Property with Nancy Chen

Collective Conversations | Talking Property with Nancy Chen

In this week’s topical Talking Property Podcast, host Suzanne Jones is joined by one of youngest women to have risen as a powerful voice in Australian infrastructure, Nancy Chen, consultant – infrastructure advisory, Arup. International Women’s Day has shone the spotlight on the need to attract more women into STEM. Nancy at just 24 years old, is a wonderful example that girls are interested in infrastructure.

Nancy reflects on how her parents landed in Australia with absolutely nothing and worked extremely hard to afford the best possible education for their daughter. Working as a waiter till late in the evenings, Nancy’s father put her through a private school education.

In this inspirational podcast, Nancy opens up about her personal journey and talks about how when at high school she identified a natural flare for numbers and decided to pursue accounting. While at Melbourne University she began to develop her passion for the tangible nature of infrastructure assets and after starting her working life as an accountant, then auditor she moved into in-depth analysis of infrastructure asset classes, relocating from Melbourne to Sydney with PWC.

Dispelling the myth that girls are not intrigued by infrastructure, Nancy enthusiastically talks about how its really about the foundation of our modern society and the cohesive pulling together and transportation of people from one location to another. She is proof it is just as interesting to girls to investigate the connection of a population to vital utilities – airports, rail, electricity networks, water, desalination plants and even real estate registry systems. And given the rate and amount of privatisation that has occurred in Australia, it’s vital for the future that decisions and knowledge is gender diverse and representative of our entire population.

In such a short space of time, Nancy has worked on major projects that have attracted substantial media interest. She shares about the challenges with achieving work/life balance when working on tenders till 4am in the morning. She highlights the extreme pressures on young women to go the extra mile in order to succeed in their careers and how being the only woman in the room she was once assumed to be an admin assistant and required to bring cups of tea and water. These experiences drove her to flip the selection process on its head – she began to evaluate companies whose values and culture aligned with hers. She proactively reached out to Arup, after researching the company and believing it was a wonderful fit for her career aspirations and has not looked back.

Episode 26 Collective Conversations | Talking Property with Anne Baker and Sonia Fava

Collective Conversations | Talking Property with Anne Baker and Sonia Fava

In this week’s topical Talking Property Podcast, host Suzanne Jones is joined by former Fairfax journalist Marc Pallisco and two of Australia’s top property marketers Anne Baker and Sonia Fava to discuss the impacts of digital media and the rise in consumer environmental awareness on the way Australia’s property sector markets and sells itself.

The podcast explores major trends and changes such as: 

• The rise of highly educated, researched and savvy buyers – the internet has given buyers the ability to research every nuance of the market and product. The result is developers really need to understand their target customers’ needs and preferences and meet, let alone exceed them, otherwise products won’t meet sales targets. 

• The looming death of print brochures as more developers focus on sustainability and push marketing teams to invest in digital solutions – interactive display suits, digital marketing drawings, videos and social media influencers.    

• The demise of the print advertising rivers of gold and the dominance that online reporting now has over traditional print. Big property sector news breaks online and is seen in print days later. 

• It’s no longer about the product and glamorous images it’s about the ethical decisions that sit behind it. All aspects of design and construction are being reconsidered to be as green and sustainable as possible – from solar power to Tesla batteries to recycled materials and earthy finishes reflected in the homes. 

• As investors cooled in the market, the rise in demand from owner occupiers has seen developers pivot to offering larger and livable apartments. Australia welcome to a future like Europe.  

• The challenge to sell an apartment with no carpark despite government approval – where price point really matters along with shifting the image of the Australian property dream. 

• What to do when it doesn’t sell. How to critically examine your price, product, go to market strategy, targeting and overall message. How not to panic and rush to conclusions. 

This is one of the most in-depth expert analysis podcasts of the property marketing space so far in 2020. It is a must listen for developers, property marketers and customer relationship experts and sales leads.
