This is Shanelle: Recent Episodes
Shanelle Hall
Join Shanelle in unpacking ideas that impact our society. A former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and Founder of the Yellow House, she brings experience as a humanitarian aid worker and as someone who negotiated with the world's pharmaceutical industry. She's amassed an active following on socials where she dives into topics that are top of mind. She loves looking for root causes as well as taking a birds-eye view of an ecosystem. She believes understanding helps make the world a better and more loving place. For humanity.
Institutions bring people together to achieve impact, to deliver change, and to solve some of societies largest problems. Facing concurrent crises of conflict, health, climate, inequality, and even democracy -- humanity has never needed institutions more. Yet in recent years, research shows that too many of our institutions have become less trusted, seen as less relevant, or inefficient. Many are generations old, having been envisioned and created following the second World War. All too often the incentives that drive them are outdated or even prevent progress on the biggest challenges we face. Given how much has changed in societies, the urgency for diversity & inclusion, and the transformation opportunity that the digital era brings – we think it is time to reimagine institutions so they can be reformed and rebuilt .... and more fit for today’s world and the future. In our pursuit of contributing to a better world for humanity, later this year the Yellow House will be launching a discussion series around the future institution. we want to hear ideas and perspectives from a diverse group of people of different backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, ages, positions, from inside institutions and outside institutions, and of course, impacted people themselves.
We want to hear your ideas on how institutions can deliver better on impact and how they can regain trust.

What role do generation groupings have in our society? Do we have a natural connection with people from our same generation? Are we prejudiced toward other generations? Let's take a peak at how generational-ism started and how intergenerations help or harm a cohesive society - and each of us individually.
Last week hundreds of people rallied behind Girl Q in London. At age 15, she was stripped searched by police in her Hackney school. They were looking for cannabis. They didn't find any and nor did they include an adult witness in the room when they performed the search. This triggered an internal review. Let's take a look at the findings of the review.
The review referred to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as a benchmark standard - what is the CRC, why is it relevant and is it applicable to all countries?
Power influences our lives in many ways. We see a struggle for power by countries, organisations, and people. Normally power is quite centralised, but is it becoming less so If so, might this reduce the corrosive tendency of centralised power? Let's have a look.
Today's episode is a bit of a mixed bag. First, working from home - is it here to stay? Let's look at the latest statistics and what employers and employees are saying. Then, what the latest in Ukraine? And finally, whats with daylight saving time and why might the US finally end it? Will the EU and others follow?
Enjoy!
