Are You Informed? – a conversation with founder Kira Shishkin
We have access to much information than ever before, but it all accessed via a filter that is managed by someone else. Can we really say we are informed? Kira Shishkin [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirashishkin/] is a serial entrepreneur who has founded companies that developed technology with practical applications. His latest venture is informed.now [https://informed.now/]the daily news SMS service that delivers unfiltered news direct to your phone. In this episode of The Independent Minds Kira explains to host Michael Millward [https://www.linkedin.com/in/abecedermichaelmillward/] how although we have access to more information than ever before, that before that information is presented to us it is first interpreted by an individual or organisation to fit their preferred agenda. This promotes a perspective rather than an authentic understanding. In turn this creates polarisation of views and eventually conflict. After being born in one conflict torn country and coming of age in another Kira explains how this information control process and its potential to create a devastating outcome inspired him to create informed.now. Kira explains how informed.now ensures that it is accessing primary news sources that are fact-based and the editorial process that identifies the stories that will have the most impact on the world. This episode of The Independent Minds will make you question how you consume news information. More information about Kira Shishkin and Michael Millward is available at abeceder.

The Empathic Leader – a conversation with author Melissa Robinson Winemiller
How EQ via Empathy Transforms Leadership for Better Profit, Productivity, and Innovation. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller is a trainer who operates on a global basis.  Melissa believes that in an era where everyone is niching down, empathy [https://eqviaempathy.com/] is the one thing that benefits the whole human race. In this episode of The Independent Minds Melissa explains to host Michael Millward [https://www.linkedin.com/in/abecedermichaelmillward/] what empathy and emotional intelligence (EQ) are. Michael and Melissa explore why despite evidence of the value added by managers with empathy and EQ skills many organisations still see it as an optional extra. Their discussion includes an examination of how leadership and management are different, how those differences have evolved since the start of the industrial revolution and what the future of leadership and management is likely to look like. They compare how industrial organisations and natural organisms are structured and the lessons leaders can take from the differences. Perhaps most importantly they identify how empathic leadership can help any organisation put substance into the phrase: Our People Are Our Most Important Asset.

The AHA effect – a conversation with author Dr Michael Gerharz
Learn how to create the AHE effect every time you deliver a presentation or communicate with another person regardless of format. Dr Michael Gerharz [https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgerharz/] is a communications expert who helps business people find the right words not just to explain a message but achieve the desired outcome from an audience. In his book The AHA Effect Dr Gerharz [https://michaelgerharz.com/] explains why business communications go wrong, and what managers need to do to make their communications more effective. In this episode of The Independent Minds Dr Gerharz explains to host Michael Millward [https://www.linkedin.com/in/abecedermichaelmillward/] how many bright ideas never get beyond the first time their creator presents them to other people, because that creator delivers the presentation in the wrong way. Dr Gerharz explains the difference between creating a WOW! moment and delivering an AHA effect, and the reasons why many presenters focus on the former. Michael shares experiences of some of the presentations he has delivered and reflects on whether he has created WOW! moments or AHA effects. You will leave this episode more conscious of how your own presenting and communication style might be improved.
