The Time-Wasting Epidemic How much time do you waste on social media or binge-watching TV shows? What if you redirected just a fraction of that time toward something productive? As Maya Angelou put it, “We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated.” What defeats are you allowing by wasting time? What small change could you make today? https://lnkd.in/gp89EU_E

the oscars controversy (will smith slaps chris rock) https://lnkd.in/dCnS7J42 I’m still not over what happened at the Oscars last night. Will Smith slapping Chris Rock was the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen on live TV. I don’t know what to think. On one hand, I understand that Will Smith was offended by Chris Rock’s joke about his movie and that he was going through a lot of personal issues. On the other hand, I think that Chris Rock was just doing his job as a comedian and that he didn’t deserve to be assaulted. I think that violence is never the answer and that both of them should apologize and make peace.

in-house amplifications of shame can incline and veer, even careen people off into a lowered horizon/felt lowered status. https://lnkd.in/enNqt9RS Putting people in their place, as streaming has been the dominant categorical imperatives of norm governance. Large swathes of our knowledge is profoundly dull and lifeless, and even self-righteous moralising, and hardly surprising that shamed people pick on and adapt these purist rhetorical devices. Not good enough https://lnkd.in/enNqt9RS https://lnkd.in/e9V_zAjh

Eimear Noone I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for this incredible interview. Everyone should listen to this - especially any women/men interested in bringing equity, equality and changing work-culture for us to thrive. To the two Marys and Enda Grace wowser! This is the most beautiful podcast - and I sense it will have a huge following - it is so beautiful, the way you both create and hold the space for real conversations on things that really matter. Enda Grace truly wonderful! Eimear Noone I have admired you from afar for years online. Probably, safe to say, a girl crush! Your presence has always caught me. But now I know why:- You are an incredible bright light, I think you are a real life trailblazer - the essence of our great lands ancestral change-makers and mystics is not dead but so alive in you. You carry the essence and join the incredible great women that have shone brightly on the world stage, Grace O'Malley, Nano Nagle, Caroline Casey, Mary McAleese, Mary Robinson come to mind. Thank you for showing us what is possible when you stand in your truth, be full of integrity, have the courage to walk the path, the ripple you can have on the world stage and the legacy when one does. But, I want to thank you all personally, this interview has brought up lots for me. Funny, just like you, Mary, I was told the same when I joined law. I went on to qualify too and experienced first hand the inequity and unfairness of the legal system as a woman. Just like you Eimear Noone I miscarried. Mine inflicted by working too hard and not minding myself. Unfortunately, I too needed to file a Gender Equality case, post my miscarriage. A very challenging experience, considering I was a a founding equity owner and director. As part of the process, I filed multiple proceedings in the high court and commercial court. My case settled and the Non-Disclosure Agreement signed just weeks before the birth of my second child. The settlement monies I received were lodged while I lay in hospital after delivering, with my beautiful little boy. For some weeks now, I have been with and reflecting on the role of Non-Disclosure Agreements and the silencing that happens with that? I also have been reflecting on what we voice things safely, as a means for change and do that in a collective, safe way. One of the things and main drivers and essence of the The Dialogue Code This is very alive with me, with the recent death (suspected suicide)of the lawyer Valerie - who was doing 18 hour days and had 2 small children. It has prompted me to consider a series of dialogues for women in law, across our island, UK and perhaps in LA and to reflect on how we can bring equity and justice back into law to be truly lived, so that we can create equitable places of work for women, men, children to thrive? Much to be done, but how lucky are we - to be here when change is coming. I worked in the US in human rights law. Eimear what strength to navigate
