Why do we think and behave the way we do? We speak with Dr Jen Martin - scientist, author, and communicator - about the fascinating science behind our habits of thought and behaviour. Drawing on her new book Why Am I Like This?, Jen explains the psychology behind impostor experiences, procrastination, multitasking, flow states, and more. Together, they connect these scientific insights to leadership, personal development, and the Human Synergistics Circumplex framework.

This recording is an audio version of my article 'Rethinking Behaviour and Belonging: Why “What Works” in 2025 Needs to Mean More', originally published on 31 August 2025.

In it, I explore why behaviour cannot be reduced to compliance, how masking and refusal reveal hidden pressures, and why leadership, consistency, and high expectations must be redefined if inclusion is to be real.

Kate Coldrick – Rethinking Behaviour and Belonging: Why “What Works” Needs Rethinking (Audio)

Are “calm” classrooms really inclusive?

In this audio reading, Kate Coldrick explores how behaviour policies that prize quietness and compliance can mistake masking for belonging — and what schools can do instead to create environments where neurodivergent students can be themselves.

Originally published on katecoldrick.com, this piece examines the tension between “calm” and “camouflage,” challenging the idea that outward calmness equals inclusion. Read the original at: https://katecoldrick.com/2025/09/03/calm-or-camouflage-how-behaviour-policies-misread-belonging/

Kate Coldrick - Calm or Camouflage? How Behaviour Policies Misread Belonging (Audio)

An electro jazz pop song about human relationships—something like advice from an older to a younger person.

Unwritten Rules (remix 2025)

Close to Robert is a French composer born in Scotland, pianist, producer and environmental activist, formerly elected to the town hall of Toulouse, France. 
His music mixes pop melodies, crooner voice, catchy bass lines, jazzy piano and synth solos. 
His compositions would be different without the Beatles, Bowie, Gainsbourg, Bashung, 80s Pop, the Roland JX3P synth... Close to Robert likes eclectic musicians, pop in the broad sense, like Chilly Gonzales, Jeanne Added, The Divine Comedy, Lana del Rey, Benjamin Biolay, Emilie Simon, Sébastien Tellier, Get Well Soon...
Ecology takes a major place in his lyrics, in a perspective that is both realistic and optimistic, because we have no other choice but to believe in humanity.
