Marci Segal, MS World Creativity Emeritus thanks for reposting! On my list to post for World Creativity and Innovation Day coming April 21. Did you ever attend Don Wood's 4G01 - McMaster "Problem Solving and Interpersonal Skills? I recently (spring 2024) checked my course links and found after over 20 years they finally bounced. As I hunted new links I found Prof Don Wood’s 2010 course ppt’s for the first time, Don created these when he was 75! Example: MPS 28: Group skills MPS 5: Engage & Stress Management https://lnkd.in/grBfQgX5 See others here: https://lnkd.in/gS44PZZx Course was life changing for me, ignited a passion in wellness for me, and expose to CPS which lead to membership in the Creative Education Foundation and helping you at Creativity Day (I presented on stress). Hamiltion Public Health gave the workshop on Stress in 1994,  they used the Adaptive Stress Response Curve, created by Canadian Hans Selye (nice to find the1936 reference this week https://lnkd.in/gU7aeeyW ). Covered in Don ppt above. Richard Earle, Ph.D. Lisa Beaudoin Goran Matic Tim Hurson If people are looking for Creativity Day resources Don's ppt's are a source. See others https://lnkd.in/gyPQhUxt Sadly Don died in 2013 at 78. Be interesting to see how he might edit the ppt to add AI. Your "Black Hat", risk identifier? On Stress I also found Heidi Grant's “Nine Ways Successful People Defeat Stress” well down the page here - https://lnkd.in/gEEtnd2b Thanks, Cam

It was great sharing the stage with Nina Sies, René Knijnenburg and Frédérique Arnold at the TopX Summit to share our thoughts on the gender pay gap and how to close it! Interested? Let's talk! #genderpaygap #paytransparency #Deloitte

This week was the Inner Development Goals Summit 2023, with some great presentations. Especially liked Phoebe Tickell's presentation on moral imagination; imagination activism; getting out of the fish tank and into the ocean; and ancestral, collective, and generational connection.

Moving beyond foresight that exists in service to the "fish tank" and moving into the collective, cooperative, and collaborative consciousness that unlocks our "anticipatory imagination" - the cooperative evolutionary trait of perceiving emerging novelty that fosters co-creative transformational realities - is what we do at our 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩!

We need to increase the pace to reach the goals in Agenda 2030. The Inner Development Goals remind us of the 5 dimensions (being, thinking, relating, collaborating, acting) needed for us to reach the SDGs as a human collective.

As we celebrate the start of the new year, we took a quick look back at Cooper/Smith's Top 5 of 2023: 1) Our letter in the The New York Times about the need to authorize #pepfar. Tyler Smith and I stated: "What sets PEPFAR apart is not only its remarkable achievements, but the revolutionary way it has used data-driven management to drive efficiency and thus save more lives.” 2) We thought about, and worked a lot on, AI. Our blog on The Case for AI and Global Health was featured in ICTWorks. We talked about 7 ways we believe AI will transform Global Health for good! 3) And how countries need safe, secure AI sandboxes…(we're working on it!) 4)We shared ideas at global gatherings - from the Global Digital Health Forum to ITU's AI for Good, the Africa Health Tech Summit, AWS re:Invent, the International AIDS Summit to UNGA (just to name a few), we shared thoughts, saw old and made new friends, and presented the results of our work: focused on helping decision-makers better understand service and care gaps and anticipate the needs of their populations. 5)And we worked with decision-makers to plan for climate- related shocks before they happen. We are working with countries supporting data use to optimize responses to climate-related health shocks. Our next focus is predicting the effects of climate and disease shocks.
