"You can tek us out of Bradford, but you can't tek the Bradford out of us". These are sentiments that apply to the people of many places and that point to where to look to better understand personal and place identity. Having enjoyed the punchy poetry used to celebrate Bradford's successful U.K. City of Culture bid, I am looking forward to the launch of its year-long cultural programme for 2025. It's a year that marks an ambitious highlight in a 10-year Cultural Strategy and an impressive programme of physical renewal across the Borough's urban and rural communities. Let's hope all the stars align so that Bradford can show itself in its best light in 2025. It will be important in helping refresh external impressions and most importantly celebrate and strengthen the city's cultural mosaic from within. It might not present a picture of perfection or complete cohesion, though portray an impressive 'work in progress' that examplifies the challenges and changes facing many U.K towns and cities. 'Brand Bradford' will hopefully gain a welcome boost next year, and the collective self-belief of its communities grow. Even such a high profile, national event though, is only a moment in a city's renewal and its success will probably be better judged from lasting impressions in say 2030. It's a 'journey' that so many towns and cities need to take and their evolving 'brands' serve as much as a spirit and sign of progress, than a fixed end point. The role of local pride in place and brand identity as a reflection of renewal, is a theme that I will be running with as part of research with Cathy Parker MBE, SFIPM, hopefully Mihalis Kavaratzis and the Institute of Place Management throughout 2025. This will begin with an outline of the opportunities in the January issue of out 'Talk of the Town' newsletter -use the link in the The People & Places Partnership Ltd. comment below to subscibe and keep up-to-date. Decades on from when our parents moved us South, I'll be revisting the city of our birth with my brother to see how much of the spirit of Bradford remains within us. #ukcityofculture #bradford2025 #bradford #placebranding #cities

Innovate Alabama continues to be a national leader in connecting the development of outdoor assets to business and talent attraction. Check out this video from leaders sharing how whitewater rafting is linked to Alabama's innovation economy. Outdoor assets attract a talent workforce, but they are also first and foremost about quality of life for existing residents. That's why the outdoor economy can be such a potent win-win.

In this video, I address some of the most pressing issues facing our community. From ensuring election integrity and tackling media bias to fighting corruption, I discuss why these issues are central to this election. I also highlight the importance of supporting families, revitalizing local manufacturing for economic growth, and the cost benefits of producing goods here at home. Additionally, I explore why Saskatchewan must have provincial jurisdiction over law enforcement to strengthen community safety and ensure our unique needs are prioritized. A vote for me and the Buffalo Party is a vote for accountability, self-reliance, and real support for Saskatchewan families.

In summary, some insights and takeaways for larger organizations and businesses: 1. Acknowledge the expertise of the much smaller indies (excellent curation, unique physical spaces, fostering local communities of readers); 2. Honor the fact that they've achieved what you haven't been able to and you've learned from them; 3. Show them respect by not competing with them; and 4. Demonstrate care by using your greater resources to help them when needed.

It is time for each Australian to step up, use their minds to think through and problem-solve to take personal responsibility with action. Our culture has slipped into a 'group think' state of mind without question. The tail is wagging the dog, and people following like sheep. #JoannaBryant states it so eloquently in this short presentation https://lnkd.in/gCgcsM8f
