  • サマリー

  • Unscripted musings on business life, leadership, creativity, transformation and all the myriad of other work-life events that get in the way of a good night's sleep. The Squid of Despair is a conceptual summation of what can go wrong, and often does, with mind-mapping or other creative techniques. Born out of an idea for a book back in 2010, David and Peter have now made this mythical beast rise once again, phoenix like (from under the ocean waves, so a bit soggy probably), to explore all matters relating to 'business life, leadership, creativity, transformation and all the myriad of other work-life events that get in the way of a good night’s sleep' in the form of an unusual podcast

  • Squid #24 - Identity
    2025/02/08

    What is your identity?

    How do you get one in the first place?

    And what happens when you meet 'disruptors' in life that impact or change your identity?

    DAS and Peter are joined on this podcast by a special guest - Sadie - as they explore what identity is and (with the aid of a list from DAS - of course) what to look at when you feel you might have lost your identity,

  • Squid #23 - Getting your Mojo back
    2024/05/22

    In which DAS shares some personal experiences around losing your mojo and both Peter and DAS share some (possibly) new words with their listeners on descriptions of the human condition.

    It is all about recognition of entering the state of languishment, finding an antidote to this state, and presenting ideas to re-connect and recover.

    There is a disclaimer about DAS and Peter learns all about Ikigai.

  • Squid #22 - Sisu
    2024/04/17

    Shockingly there are 3 people in this podcast – DAS and Peter welcome their first ever guest, Donna Cooper – Services Leader and Untra-Marathon runner.

    DAS kicks it all off by introducing a brand-new word (to Peter anyway) – Sisu: A Finnish word variously translated as stoic determination, tenacity of purpose, grit, bravery, resilience, and hardiness – and this is the Squid of the Day.

    In the light of this Donna talks about her running experiences and challenges considering the value of a clear goal, flexibility of plans, and choice, and how this can play out in the business world.

    Peter reflected on a quote by Tim Noakes, a 70 times marathon/ultra-marathon runner ‘Your body will argue that there is no justifiable reason to continue. Your only recourse is to call on your spirit, which fortunately functions independently of logic’.

    Which seems to sum up a lot of the conversation and shared thoughts.

    And it all concludes with Peter asking Donna how many trainers/running shoes she burns through each year.
