Why you don't want things to go 'back to normal' in 2021.
In this insightful interview with Bettina Tornatora from Lux Consulting, we explore the fallacy of believing that things wiil go 'back to normal' as COVID lockdown restrictions get lifted. And how even if it could, it's not what we want in terms of 2nd Order, transformational evolution in society.
Betttina is the CEO and Director of Lux Consulting, a Certified Neuro-Behavioural Modelling Professional, and provides programs and coaching services for business leaders seeking transformational change.

How most mainstream media and social narratives prevent 2nd Order change.
In today's chaotic world, the need for critical thinking and 2nd Order change is more important than ever. Dr Peter Thompson and Marvin Oka discuss the critical role of Generative Critical Thinking for 2nd Order change agents to guard against unconsciously adopting the assertions and frames of mainstream media and social narratives that lead to ineffective 'solutions' preventing 2nd Order thinking and systemic change.
2nd Order Change in the educational system through... sport!
In this inspiring interview, Rob Carroll explains how sports education (or any content vehicle) can be used in 2nd Order ways to develop youth as a whole person in relation to their values, ethics and personal character.

The next Neuro-Behavioural Modellers online meetup is scheduled for March 28, 2021.
4:00 - 6:00 pm
Topic: Identifying needs and opportunities in a post-lockdown society for 2nd Order Neuro-Behavioural Modelling research projects and IP commercialisation.
The need for practical, behavioural-based approaches for 2nd Order change has never been greater. Professional NBM research projects are ideally suited to create new commercial offerings that can make a significant difference in the evolutions of societal consciousness.
In this meetup, we will build upon Marvin Oka's UVAM model and process to explore as a group how to spot and create opportunities for 2nd order change through innovative NBM research applications.
