How to practise clear leadership – Gervase R. Bushe – 10 mins video
In this video, Gervase (pronounced “Jervis”) talks about the practice of leadership. He describes how members of an organisation make up stories about others. He outlines the approach to clearing that interpersonal-mush; how to take responsibility for our own experience and not to take responsibility for the internal experience of others; how to find out about the experience of another person and to explain your experience to them without judgement.
Mirror Neurons – VS Ramachandran – 7 mins video
In this video Vilayanur Ramachandran explains Mirror Neurons and their role in empathy, culture and communications. For our purposes we are interested in the way Mirror Neurons help us gain ideas about the “other” when practicing Multiple Perspectives – getting “into the shoes” of another person.

One man’s journey into the implications of non-sighted reality and what it can tell us about communication.
