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.

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!

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.

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.

This week  after some rambling talk about the new curfew rules in the UK and France, James picked a new question from the ISCOM Communications & Advertising students.

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. As the school year has come to an end, students also consider what's next, and one recurring question for Bachelors' graduates, is "Should I do a Masters Degree?"  This is also Willem's birthday episode! Sorry about the technical issues, we had to start Zoom over three times and stitch the videos together in the end, but it kind of works and we have a good conversation about the pros and cons of studying for a Masters - knowing we are both biased in that neither of us has studied for a Masters degree.

Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week's question is: "How do I motivate myself?" How do be or keep motivating is a recurring question from students to James, so we discuss motivation or lack thereof to begin with, we talk about the importance of play, the music we listen to while working, a variety of practices and leads to help find connections between interests and study or work, and more.

Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week's question is: "How do I revise?" How to revise and study is a recurring question for students, and we had just been exchanging messages about our note taking practices, knowledge management, how to research, revise, or otherwise prepare knowledge for exams or for work in the future. We dive in the ways to research, study, take notes, and manage knowledge in this episode. Among other topics, we talk about the Book Getting Things Done, MS One Note, Evernote, Roam Research, Notion, and much more.

(for audio listeners, in the Youtube video I show visual slides in this one, it might not make as much sense for audio only, just FYI) Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week we have a slightly different format, Willem shows and talks through a presentation prepared for Masters' degree students of an international communications school, about Food & Beverage Marketing Trends in the age of COVID-19.

Like last week, It's a bit long but worth it. We begin with mugs and t-shirts as we do every week, and then I jump in the presentation, organising it around a classic three act story structure, we go over what playful strategy is, foundational bases about briefs in the communications industry, the impact of the pandemic, the protests, a message from my brother Björn van der Horst (a chef and F&B professional), we continue with inspiring trends in the food industry, and the concept of designing for extremes.

Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week's question is: "How do I find a  job I really like, and get paid?"   

It's a bit long but worth it. We begin with the Japanese concept of #Ikigai and given the events these past two weeks in the US and internationally, we also talk about #BlackLivesMatter #JusticePourAdamaTaoré, systemic racism, the documentary 13th, what a rigged society is or might be, white privilege (and why it is or seems triggering), colonialism, design thinking, slavery, criminality, the value of starting small, the BlackLivesMatter / JusticePourAdama protests in Paris, and more.
