Episode 19 (9:05) - On global warming

At the tail end of my interview (https://isene.org/2019/02/RelevantMen.html) on  Annmarie Bhola's  Breaking Ground podcast, she asked me about my views on global warming. We had an interesting exchange that turned out as a podcast in its own right. We decided it would be a nice joint venture to present this interview on Geir's Everything.

Episode 14 (13:13) - Impress with the Arrow->Box->Arrow method

Episode 14 (13:13) - Impress with the Arrow->Box->Arrow method

I did a talk at the Procurement 4.0 conference at Deloitte in Oslo. While the topic I covered was digitilization in shipping, I ended up recommending the audience to go home and ask their sexual partner how they could be the ideal partner in bed for them... and then deliver that and telling me how it went. I am curious if I will get any feedback. During the talk I covered the essence in the OnePageBook "Impress!" via the Arrow->Box->Arrow method. Listen to the podcast and I will take you through a drill using this method. Link to the blog post: https://isene.org/2018/11/Podcast-Impress.html

Eposide 12 (23:51) - Women will be last to be replaced by robots and AI

I held a workshop in Tromsø - north of the arctic circle - at the annual WISTA conference (WISTA being the “Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association”). The topic of my workshop was “Digitization, robots and AI. Why women will be the last to be replaced by robots and AI”. I was having a fun three hours with 25 smart and inspiring women. And to sum it up, I decided to wrap it all into a podcast. Link to the blog post: https://isene.org/2018/10/Podcast-WomanAndAutomation.html
