Planning Your Healthy Diet - a conversation with nutritionist Storm Trow

Geoffrey Klein [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ggklein/] is the founder of Nine Dots Media [https://ninedotsmedia.com/] and a lecturer at Wharton Business School.

In his book The Content Beast Geoffrey explains how businesses can create story-driven content to connect with the right customers.

In this episode of the Abeceder [https://www.abeceder.co.uk/] podcast The Independent Minds, Geoffrey discusses his approach to brand storytelling with host Michael Millward [https://www.michaelmillward.co.uk/].

Michael and Geoffrey describe the origins of their respective brands and explain that the story of a brand is the first stage of explaining to a perspective customer what you do and the value you add.

Geoffrey explains the science of storytelling and the emotional connection a good story can create. This prompts Michael to compare his response to the characters in novels. You must care about the character, or the brand.

Geoffrey shares the secret to creating good brand stories, which he describes as the 11th Commandment.

Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine - a conversation with author Jaclyn Downs

Pride in Leadership [https://prideinleadership.co.uk/], a CIC is the UK’s community for LGBTQ+ leaders was co-founded by Claire Ebury [https://www.linkedin.com/in/claireebrey/] and Matt Haworth [https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthaworth/?originalSubdomain=uk].

Away from Pride in Leadership Claire is a DEI consultant at On the Level [https://www.onthelevelconsultancy.com/], and Matt is a director at Reason Digital [https://reasondigital.com/].

In this episode of the Abeceder [https://www.abeceder.co.uk/] podcast The Independent Minds, Claire, Matt and host  Michael Millward [https://www.michaelmillward.co.uk/] explore the findings of research conducted by Pride in Leadership into how LGBTQ+ people experience career progression.

Work can be a safe place to be LGBTQ+, but the findings show that many LGBTQ+ people and people who managers believe are LGBTQ+ can be excluded from career development and promotion opportunities.

Michael expresses dismay about the number of LGBTQ+ people who do not feel supported by HR professionals.

The discussion investigates why this might be, with Michael explaining the challenges that HR professionals face when trying to support every minority.

Other aspects of the findings included in the conversation include

 * The relationship between culture and policy
 * The ‘Velvet Rut’
 * Events outside the workplace that impact the workplace.

Understanding LGBTQ+ Career Progression – a conversation with Claire Ebury and Matt Haworth from Pride in Leadership

The opportunity to be creative plays an important role in a child’s cognitive development. But in UK 3.7 million children live on or below the poverty line. That is about 30% of people aged under the age of 18. For those children art resources are often an unaffordable luxury.

During the COVID lockdowns when schools were closed children continued their education at home. Completing the projects they had been set was impossible in homes without access to art resources.

In this episode of the Abeceder [https://www.abeceder.co.uk/] work life balance podcast Rest and Recreation Olivia Buckland [https://www.linkedin.com/in/future100/] explains to host Michael Millward how connecting these two facts became the inspiration that led to her establishing Art Cycle [https://artcycle.org.uk/].

Olivia recounts the experience of setting up Art Cycle and how quickly it grew. She explains the process of preparing an art kit from recycled resources and how they are distributed.

Now that Art Cycle is a reality Olivia explains the need for funding and her plans for the future.

Olivia is always interested in hearing from organisations that are rebranding or changing a logo and have branded items, like paper pads in all sizes, notebooks, pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, etc that are no longer needed.

Instead of discarding those items Olivia asks that organisations send them to Art Cycle [https://artcycle.org.uk/].

Work Work Work Works the four works

This is how Fit For My Age started. I was, and still am a middle-aged man who seemed to have all of the bad things that can happen to a man of my age, happen to me in a very short space of time. Or at least it felt like it!

I am sure that I am not alone in having a wake-up call type of experience. If we are lucky it happens to every man and every woman. I decided to heed the call and improve my lifestyle.

Fit For My Age is a record of my attempts to learn the things that I wish I had known earlier in life. The sort of things that may have helped me avoid or better manage the ageing process. So, I might sound as if I am saying, I wish I’d known then what I know now!

Mine will not be the only voice that you hear. I will be talking to a wide range of experts and may even be able to persuade some of the personal trainers that I have worked with to join me every so often.

What I do hope is that by sharing the knowledge I gain and the experiences that I have had you will also discover ways in which you can improve your physical health and your mental wellbeing.

You never know, a little knowledge may mean that we can, regardless of our age, all be able to say that we are Fit For My Age!

Please contact me with any questions, feedback, or content suggestions via the FitForMyAge.com website.

Thank you.
