January 25, 2021 Season 1 finale: soul searching 2020 inside out
Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza usually has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week James and Willem complete the first season of Teaching Tangents with the end of 2020 and look back at the content of the 22 episodes published so far, which we're now calling the first season.
As usual, we cover a lot of random ground, from the indie video games I've been playing, to end of year holiday celebrations, to Pete Docter's new Pixar animation feature Soul, to books we read in 2020, teaching, psychology, and more.

January 25, 2021 "How do you succeed in the communication field?"
Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza usually has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week James picked a question that will likely be of interest to anyone wanting a career in the field of communications: "How do you succeed in the communication field?"
As usual, we cover a lot of random ground for such a vast topic, including definitions of success, an overview of the vast range of the kinds of skills useful for the wide variety of careers and professions that exist in the communication field (which we attempt to define as well), we also chat about corporate and business culture, and more. Enjoy!

January 25, 2021 "What's the biggest threat that we, as a human race, pose?"
Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza usually has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week James picked a pretty easy going question (not): "What's the biggest threat that we, as a human race, pose?" I admit I get on a bit of a soapbox about recent events in France and in the world, a march I'd gone to the day before, we can about fear, threats, reptilian brain / limbic system, priming, racism, protests, police (repression), and a lot more. Enjoy!

January 25, 2021 "How can I work with someone with whom I have nothing in common?"
Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza usually has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week James picked a fantastic question to discuss, a topic many of us have to deal with at one point or another: "How can I work with someone with whom I have nothing in common, who thinks nothing like me, and with whom I have no feeling? Need help!" We talked about problems, problem definition, the importance of being specific, the Dunning-Kruger Effect, Non-violent communication, Getting Things Done, being open and vulnerable, the importance of having a diversity of perspectives to solve problems, and more.
