In each episode, Paddy deep dives into a new human Superpower and practical advice on how you can apply it immediately.⚡️ Why Emotional Intelligence Is The Most Important Skill To Master For Cybersecurity TeamsAs we continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the world, it’s important to pay attention to our emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the capacity to be aware of, control and express our emotions, as well as to handle interpersonal relationships with empathy and understanding. Developing and maintaining emotional intelligence is an essential life skill, as it helps us to better understand and manage our own emotions, as well as those of others.Christian Espinosa (Author of Smartest Person In The Room)Christian Espinosa is the bestselling author of “The Smartest Person in the Room”, an entrepreneur and founder of Alpine Security, a white hat hacker, a certified high-performance coach, and a lover of heavy metal music and spicy food. He’s also an Air Force veteran and Ironman triathlete. Christian used to value being the smartest person in the room until he realized that his greatest contribution to humanity, leadership, and the fight against cybercrime is his ability to bring awareness and simple solutions to challenges associated with high IQ/low EQ staff.👉 Podcast Website: https://www.superpowers.school/👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/paddydhanda/👉 Contact Paddy at: pardeep_dhanda (at) hotmail.com★ BUY ME KO-FI ★If you enjoy the podcast, then you can donate a small amount here as a token of your appreciation: https://ko-fi.com/paddydhanda--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/superpowers-school/message Get full access to Superpowers School at www.superpowers.school/subscribe

E66: Agile - Art Of How To Learn And Why Schools Have Failed To Teach This Fundamental Skill - Phil Black (CEO)
In each episode, Paddy deep dives into a new human Superpower and practical advice on how you can apply it immediately.⚡️ Art Of How To Learn And Why Schools Have Failed To Teach This Fundamental SkillIn this episode, we explore why our schools neglect one of the most important modern skills - the skill of being able to learn. Phil Black is the founder of the Mira app and shares his passion for how he is looking to transform the way children learn.As a lifelong learner, I believe that the art of how to learn is a fundamental skill that should be taught in school. Unfortunately, schools have largely failed in teaching this important skill, leaving students ill-prepared to take on the challenges of a rapidly changing world.The ability to learn is the most valuable asset any individual can possess, as it allows them to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to remain engaged and competitive in their chosen field. Learning is a skill that can be developed and improved with practice and dedication, and yet so often students are taught to memorize information rather than developing a deeper understanding of the subject material. Without understanding, knowledge fails to stick and students are unable to apply the skills they have learned in meaningful ways.The ability to learn is not only important for professional success, but also for the development of personal growth and creativity. The ability to learn and adapt quickly to new challenges and situations is key for any individual. The ability to learn and develop new skills allows individuals to stay ahead of the curve and remain competitive in the ever-changing landscape of their chosen field.It is time that schools recognize the importance of teaching students the art of how to learn. By providing students with the skills they need to be successful, schools can ensure that students have the necessary knowledge and skills to take on the challenges of a rapidly changing world.Phil Black (CEO)Experienced Business, Product and Technology Leader who has, in some way, been involved in helping people and organisations deliver change and transformation, become more agile, and re-imagine digital experiences.

From online safety and privacy to freedom of speech, the digital realm is becoming an essential tool for those seeking to build a better future. But what does this mean for those affected by displacement, protest and other forms of social upheaval? In this blog, we explore the role of cybersecurity on refugees, migrants and protesters, and how it is impacting the global landscape.Rikke Bjerg JensenI am a Reader in the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. I am a social scientist and ethnographer. My work explores information security needs, perspectives and practices among groups of people living and working at the margins of societies. It focuses on how technology, as it is shaped by social structures, relations and interactions, facilitates multiple security experiences and understandings. My work is thus grounded in research with and within distinct groups of people, engaging the often hidden, unvoiced and/or marginalised groups not generally considered in the design of technology. Most recently, I have worked with seafarers, refugees, migrants and protesters. ‘The margin’ is thus loosely defined and can be understood in cultural, economic, geographical, occupational, social terms. Before becoming a Lecturer and now Reader in the Information Security Group, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Geography and Department of Law and Criminology, also at Royal Holloway. I obtained my PhD from the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), after having completed an MA in International Journalism. Both at the University of Westminster. I also have a BA in Drama and Performance Studies from Aberystwyth University.👉 Podcast Website: https://www.superpowers.school/👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/paddydhanda/👉 Contact Paddy at: pardeep_dhanda (at) hotmail.com★ BUY ME KO-FI ★If you enjoy the podcast, then you can donate a small amount here as a token of your appreciation: https://ko-fi.com/paddydhanda--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/superpowers-school/message Get full access to Superpowers School at www.superpowers.school/subscribe

Do you want to make sure that your meetings are effective, enjoyable and stimulating? Charles-Louis de Maere, a visual facilitator, may have the answer for you. Drawing on his experience of running workshops and facilitating learning, Charles-Louis suggests focussed playfulness as the key to running effective meetings. Listen to this episode to find out how this approach can help you get the most out of your meetings.Charles-Louis de Maere (Visual Facilitator)My mission is to make the world a better place one step at a time by reducing the frustration levels in the workplace. My main area of expertise is in the field of human relationships. And these exist throughout our interactions, whether they happen online or in-person. As a trainer/facilitator, I strongly believe people learn at their best when they are given the space to experiment and start important conversations. Although I have a fair idea of the structure of the training, I also let the training topics emerge from what the participants actually need in order to enrich their experience, rather than enforcing my strict training program. As someone who dabbles with agility, I thrive when bringing people in contact with agile values and letting them apply their understanding of it to their context. This can be limited to the IT department. However, I’ve noticed the benefits are much higher when everyone is on board. I’m also more interested in pragmatism than applying dogmas without reflection. The goal should still be to work on something of value and perform relevant work. As a Visual Facilitator and certified bikablo® Visual Facilitation trainer, I use visuals to enhance communication and create space for co-creation through mutual understanding. Through these different aspects, my focus is always on bringing people together. On making aligment visible, beyond the perceived differences.👉 Podcast Website: https://www.superpowers.school/👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/paddydhanda/👉 Contact Paddy at: pardeep_dhanda (at) hotmail.com★ BUY ME KO-FI ★If you enjoy the podcast, then you can donate a small amount here as a token of your appreciation: https://ko-fi.com/paddydhanda--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/superpowers-school/message Get full access to Superpowers School at www.superpowers.school/subscribe

In each episode, Paddy deep dives into a new human Superpower and practical advice on how you can apply it immediately.⚡️ Bring Some Laughs to the Office: Tips on How to Be More Funny at WorkAre you looking for ways to lighten up your work day? Being funny at work is a great way to build relationships, break the ice and create a more positive atmosphere. But how do you ensure your jokes are well received? In this episode, author and founder of Comedy Central, Art Bell, shares his tips on how to be more funny at work.Art Bell (Author & Founder of Comedy Central)I was born on the Jersey Shore and grew up in a middle class household in the late 1950s and 1960s. My earliest ambitions were to become a famous scientist and to be funny. I worked hard at both through grade school, and the science aspiration got me A’s but the funny aspiration got me kicked out of class for “cutting up.” (If I’d been funnier the teachers wouldn’t have kicked me out.) In high school I found a more productive outlet by starting an underground newspaper called “The Tongue” and writing biting satire about my teachers, fellow students, and high school life. Of course, that too got me in trouble. I was beginning to understand that funny and trouble seemed, at least in my case, interconnected.College (I went to Swarthmore College) was a more sober undertaking, although I did hit the stage in annual comedy sketch shows and played Motel the Tailor in the college production of Fiddler on the Roof. I was sure that would be my last time on stage, but I was wrong.After graduation I spent a few years in Washington DC as an economist working on energy and environmental projects for the federal government. While I enjoyed it, I found myself reading Coal Weekly one afternoon and saying to myself, “I’m not a Coal Weekly kind of guy.” I quit my job and went to business school. Now I’m not saying I didn’t get a good business education at Wharton Grad — I did — but for me the best part was writing and performing in the Wharton Follies, an annual musical revue put on by students.Upon graduating, I got a job at CBS, then HBO, where I started the Comedy Channel that became Comedy Central. After that I was President of Court TV, then worked for a while as a consultant to a bunch of television companies. Most interesting project: commercializing 3D television. Least successful project: commercializing 3D television. Too bad. It was really cool.After I left the TV business, I took some writing courses and found I loved writing. Constant Comedy is my first book, not counting a humor book I wrote with a couple other guys while at Comedy Central. I hope to write some more books, but hey, who knows? I play piano and drums and I’m married to Carrie Livingston Bell and have two grown children. And that’s pretty much the story.👉 Podcast Website: https://www.superpowers.school/👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/paddydhanda/👉 Contact Paddy at: pardeep_dhanda (at) hotmail.com★ BUY ME KO-FI ★If you enjoy the podcast, then you can donate a small amount here as a token of your appreciation: https://ko-fi.com/paddydhanda--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/superpowers-school/message Get full access to Superpowers School at www.superpowers.school/subscribe
