The Salience PodcastSeason 4 Episode 4 Dr Steven ShorrockOn this episode of the Salience Podcast, we turn our attention to the relationship between human factors, systems, and analysis of safety incidents and accidents.

They jump to find a solution without taking the time to fully understand how the system works. This can lead to too many rules and regulations in the work environment, making things overly complicated.Dr. Jason Starke shares interesting examples of how this kind of knee-jerk reaction caused even more problems in flight operations.

Embracing DifferencesMetaphors we live byWhen a teacher sends you a message that your 7 year old boy needs to stop making silly noises in the classroom and become academically focused, how are you supposed to react? Should we as parents become over-concerned about our child’s behaviour, should we disregard this as a disproportionate response from a frustrated teacher or should we slow down, reflect, and question the hidden meaning and power of our words?
In a fast-paced society where everyone is constantly under pressure to their goals, objectives and deadlines, this experience has once again taught me the power to slow do...
2022-12-0138 minEmbracing DifferencesWhy teaching is not learningThis is a discussion with Steven Shorrock about the contrast between teaching and learning and why education and teaching are so far away from learning. It all began with the story of a little girl (Steve’s daughter) whose expression ‘I don’t mind’ as a response to being marked down for being late to school did not go well with the teacher. We explore the power of metaphor, language, feelings, power and authority in everyday interactions and why teaching can never be the same as learning.

The VOIDEpisode 2: Reddit and the Gamestop ShenanigansAt the end of January, 2021, a group of Reddit users organized what's called a "short squeeze." They intended to wreak havoc on hedge funds that were shorting the stock of a struggling brick and mortar game retailer called GameStop. They were coordinating to buy more stock in the company and drive its price further up.In large part, they were successful—at least for a little while. One hedge fund lost somewhere around $2 billion and one Reddit user purportedly made off with around $13 million. Things managed to get even weirder from there, when online trading company Rob...
