As a leader in the tech industry, you are often exhorted to change a team’s culture as part of the process of making a transformational change or implementing a ‘turnaround’ project. This advice is often given without any follow-up, as though we all know how to fill in the blanks and get the job done. The reality is that the difficulty is in the implementation, not the intention.

The moon landings were fake. 5G masts spread Covid. AI advances will turn The Terminator into a documentary. Pick a technology, and it will have a group of tin-foil hatted types nurturing a conspiracy theory. While we shouldn’t be spending too much time worrying about Skynet, Artificial Intelligence is beginning to impact various aspects of everyday life, including the law. We’re not going to get robot judges any time soon, but just a few months ago, English judges were given permission to use AI in writing legal opinions.

Although it is difficult to predict exactly what the long-term impact in the legal sector will be, there are a few areas that are clear already.

Comments Off on Using a Professional Studio for Your Podcast
By Malcolm Trotter, global education and training professional
The intersecting landscapes of education and employment continue to evolve, and it’s essential to question whether traditional pathways to qualifications hold equal value for everyone. If you are going to invest in yourself and your future career prospects by studying to gain a recognized qualification, this will come at a cost both financially and in the commitment of your time and effort. When making an investment (or any expenditure), you really want to be sure that the future value you will receive is likely to exceed what you have put in. So, what are the potential benefits to be had from gaining qualifications? Will they be worth the investment?

By Karen Meager, co-author of Rest. Practise. Perform.
In elite sports, people are ‘performing’ only during an actual competition, race, or match. In other times they are either resting or practicing. They spend far longer in the rest and practice phases than performing, but what they do in the rest and practice phases is a critical part of what helps them to perform when it matters.

When we conducted research for our latest book, ‘Rest. Practise. Perform.’, we found that elite sports have a lot to teach us about how to rest and as a result, perform better. But how can we find the right kind of rest and recovery to fit the role that we do?

In the UK, roughly 40% of adults are regular podcast consumers. While many people like to pop a podcast on while they do the washing up, others prefer to sit down with a cup of tea and watch an episode. By recording video alongside your audio podcast, you provide content that engages your audience no matter what their preference.
Added to that, video content is more suitable for platforms like YouTube, which is actually one of the most popular platforms to find and listen to podcasts, and YouTube videos rank higher than audio podcasts on search results. Also, advertising is often cheaper on YouTube than on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
