  • 67. Maxim Ivanov: A multi-skilled circus artist
    Sue Stockdale talks to Maxim Ivanov, a multi-skilled circus artist (Handstand balancer, aerialist, juggler) about his career in circus performance. Maxim describes what he enjoys about performing and why he loves trying out new things.

    Maxim is originally from Kazan, Russia, and was living in Ukraine until recently. Along with his wife Olga, he performs on different stages in Europe, and on cruise ships around the world. Maxim loves to create unusual and surrealistic UpsideDown photos and videos. He can fly higher his head and taught himself to play piano. Recently Maxim taught his five-year-old daughter to climb on his shoulders without using hands and legs and she appeared as part of their stage performance in a festive show.

    Key Quotes:

    ‘At circus school the first year is trying everything, and then the second year we choose what we want to do - which skills which discipline. And then the third and fourth year, we create our act.’

    ‘In circus school I chose the hand balancing. I really love it, the position - static. But now I really like flying with my wife doing dual straps.’

    ‘We need a lot of audience appreciation.’

    ‘Perfect is like when I can play with good lighting, good sound, and good staging. This is my perfect ideal stage.’

    ‘It's hard to find the perfect place but you need to adjust and to be flexible, to be adaptive, to places to people.’

    ‘That feeling when you're on stage, it's indescribable.’

  • 66. Vicki Tough: Working at height
    Sue Stockdale talks to Vicki Tough, an arborist, tree climbing Instructor and Rope Access Level 3, Work at Height professional about the highs and lows of her job, and finds out about the Big Canopy Campout: an annual tree top event that connects tree climbing and forest enthusiasts around the world.

    Vicki grew up in the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland which set the scene for a fascination with the natural world. After pursuing a Zoology Degree at the University of Glasgow, Vicki’s first experience of a rainforest in Ecuador became the catalyst for her career as a Work at Height Professional, Arborist and Tree Climbing Instructor. She founded Sylvana Alta to combine these professions and promote scientific exploration in forest canopies worldwide, believing that the greater understanding of its value will better protect it for the future. Vicki has organised, participated in, and led research expeditions for over 18 years assisting and contributing to scientific studies in South America, Indonesia, Europe and Australia.

    An IRATA level 3 supervisor Vicki has over 12 years of industrial rope access experience; working on large scale construction projects throughout the UK and Europe and contributing to the less than 1% of females in this role. Working in these contrasting environments has enabled an appreciation and understanding of technical rigging solutions and the importance of teamwork in often challenging conditions.

    In 2017 Vicki and several other climbing professionals set up Big Canopy Campout C.I.C and the event has grown to encompass participants from 36 different countries raising money to support grassroot organisations in their fight to protect their local forested areas.

    Key Quotes:

    ‘The whole scope of the Olympics was so huge. Not only the buildings, but also just the grandeur of the event and it bringing the whole world together.’

    ‘Everything takes 10 times longer and you really need to prepare before you set out.’

    ‘I would wear overalls that looked like they were designed for my father.’

    ‘It was just this drive to explore and to ask questions. I was always such a curious child.’

    ‘When I show researchers how to climb they're just so enthusiastic, trying to get up this tree so that they can see the thing that they want to research that they're not bothered by the height.’

    ‘Tree climbing and rope access, comes with stereotypes. It comes with a lot of people thinking, you gotta be fast, you've gotta be strong. you’ve gotta have muscles. A lot of people are a little bit surprised when I rock up - eight and a half stone, and five foot six.’

  • 65. Jamie Ramsay: Human Powered Adventuring
    Sue Stockdale talks to fellow Scot Jamie Ramsay, an endurance adventure athlete. Jamie has completed over 43,000km of human powered adventuring in 31 countries and 25 different adventures by running, cycling, hiking, skiing, paddle-boarding and mountaineering. He reflects on what motivates him to adventure, as well as his observations about the world through his travel experiences, and how he hopes to make a bigger impact by inspiring others.

    After 12 years working for an international communications agency, Jamie Ramsay wasn’t happy with the direction of his life and realised if he didn’t make some drastic changes then things would continue to spiral downwards. His solution was to quit his job - after being promoted to Partner, fly to Vancouver and run 17,000km to Buenos Aires solo and unsupported. Following the success of this adventure, Jamie has dedicated his life to pushing his perceived boundaries. Each adventure he undertakes is designed to challenge him in new ways. Over the years, Jamie has worked with a number of notable global and UK brands including Microsoft, Land Rover Mobile, Gore Wear, Cotswold Outdoor and Whole Earth.

    Key Quotes

    ‘When I stop I find it difficult. My mind starts wandering and motivation gets more difficult if I don't have a target.’

    ‘I don't want to be mediocre. I want to be good at everything I do.’

    ‘I realised that to keep pushing boundaries, I had to stop proving myself to other people that I could already do something. I had to challenge myself in new ways.’

    ‘The whole reason I left the constraints of London and that life was to be free.’

    ‘I think the main thing you see is the impact of consumerism and how that's just bleeding out across the world.’

    ‘The people who are succeeding, they're not sitting around thinking, oh, I can't do this because of this. They're thinking, what can I do to get around that obstacle, to get to where I need to be.’

    “Adventuring is pushing myself to my limits.’

  • 64. Lisa Marie Platske: Courageous leadership
    Sue Stockdale talks to Lisa Marie Platske, President/CEO, Upside Thinking, Inc. about what courageous leadership means and how she found courage to move on after she was impacted by 9/11. The conversation touches on how vulnerability, forgiveness and the willingness to step out of one's comfort zone can help leaders be of greater service to their people.

    An award-winning leadership expert in human behaviour, Lisa Marie Platske has received accolades from the White House, the United States Small Business Administration and The International Alliance for Women, recognised as one of the Top 100 women making a difference in the world. She left her Federal law enforcement career after 9/11 to be the CEO of Upside Thinking. Lisa Marie delivers presentations worldwide sharing research on how vulnerability and forgiveness are critical to exceptional leadership as well as her proven 7-step leadership model centred on connection, positioning, and executive presence.

    An international best-selling author in five countries, Lisa Marie has written or co-authored seven books. A member of the Forbes Coaches Council and a regular contributor to Forbes.com, she has trained or coached over 100,000 leaders around the globe to make a bigger positive impact on the planet. Past clients include Honeywell, Santander Bank, Aflac, and Perry Ellis International.

    Key Quotes:

    ‘9/11 was a time of great upheaval and learning about myself.’

    ‘If I don't find a way to see the good in humanity, or to see the good in others then it will be a really lonely existence.’

    ‘It's not fearless leadership. It's courageous. It means that the fear is still there.’

    ‘I was spending so much energy, trying to do it all alone. it isn't one to do alone, you need other people.’

    ‘I came up with three components that were always present and it was vision, voice, and vulnerability.’

    ‘The first to forgive is the bravest, the first to forget is the happiest.’

    ‘Rather than looking at option A or option B my idea, your idea, what's the third one that we don't see. And the only way for us to see it is for you and I to co-create something together.’

    ‘The world needs you and your brilliance.’

  • 63. Jeffrey Morse: An astounding recovery journey
    Aviator Jeffrey Morse was living an action-filled life, travelling the world with his career in the military and in commercial aviation. Then in 2012, he suffered a brain aneurism, a dissected artery and a paralysis-causing spinal cord stroke. At the age of forty-nine, Jeffrey was told he would likely never walk again. He made a vow that he would walk out of the hospital anyway. Six weeks later, he did just that.

    Host Sue Stockdale discovers how Jeffrey Morse was able to accelerate his recovery by utilising skills he had learned during his career and how Jeffrey now inspires others to reframe their own challenges or obstacles by focusing on positivity, gratitude and self-responsibility.

    'I had no idea what the future was going to hold at that point, but I wasn't going to let the surgeon's prognosis of what he thought be the last word.'

    'My life wasn't over, if I could provide some sort of hope and inspiration to this man in the bed next to me.'

    'Sometimes I would sit and think that those things that I did in my past, sort of prepared me for this thing.'

    'I'm focusing on this life and making this life happy.'

    'I was looking at life from the perspective of what I was doing was 80% physical and 20% psychological. And I found the more I got into things that it was absolutely the opposite of that.'

  • 60. Carrie Cort: Adopting a sustainable lifestyle
    Sue Stockdale talks to Carrie Cort, founder of Sussex Green Living about the action she has taken to inspire others in her community to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. She explains some of the approaches she has taken to do this, including retrofitting a 1974 milk float, organising a pop-up environmental festival using a six-ton lorry powered with recycled cooking oil, and launching a monthly repair café.

    Carrie describes herself as a passionate and optimistically stubborn environmentalist. In 2011 with a 4-year-old son and growing concern for his future, worsening global warming and little time to achieve zero emissions, she decided to act and launched the charity, Sussex Green Living on 22nd April 2012 Earth Day. Her idea was to develop a network of people working together to create a more sustainable world. To educate herself, Carrie completed waste prevention training in 2012 and climate change training in 2016 delivered by the former US Vice President Al Gore and leading climate change scientists.

  • 59. Jennifer Wilde and Dan McClure: Systems innovation: reimagining ideas and solutions
    Sue Stockdale talks to innovation strategists Jennifer Wilde and Dan McClure about how to reimagine systems and navigate through the complexity that exists when addressing big challenges, such as organisational change or the aftermath of a humanitarian disaster. They explain how to avoid overwhelm, why pictures or drawings can help bring clarity, and outline the four keys that can help people understand systems innovation.

    Jennifer (Jen) Wilde draws on over 15 years of hands-on experience as a senior manager in humanitarian response. She has developed strategies for fostering innovation during emergency response, in challenging, volatile contexts. Jen is currently serving as Managing Director at Innovation Ecosystem, an organisation that offers practical tools and support to deliver a step change in innovation effectiveness. She met her business partner, Dan McClure, when she was invited by the UN to speak at University of California (UC) Berkeley about the innovation lab that she set up in the middle of the earthquake response in Nepal.

    Dan McClure is a specialist in disruption. Throughout his 40-year career, he has been a choreographer of ambitious messy change, reimagining complex systems in business, government, international aid, and society. His work spans multiple sectors and engages leaders in both sprawling global firms and fast-moving start-ups. Dan is a thought leader that has helped pioneer practical approaches to system innovation, drawing on insights from a wide variety of past roles such as the global innovation lead at the international consultancy ThoughtWorks, and the Chair of the Advisory Board for the UK based Humanitarian Innovation Fund. Today, Dan is right at the cutting edge of innovation and loves to talk about why systems innovation is such an important part of the future of work.

    After working with Fortune 500 companies, governments and some of the world’s largest non-profits and philanthropists, Jen and Dan are looking to share some of their insights into how all types of businesses need to think outside the box to solve problems.
